Rose, are you a passenger on the motercycle, or do you actually ride?
1:41 am
gapeach
Hey there, flosey. Are you well?
1:42 am
flosey
yes thanks peach, enjoying daughter, sil and grandson, over for 5 days, and you?
1:42 am
grannyrose
flosey, since surgery on left ankle, cannot use clutch on current bike. so, only a pillion.
1:43 am
flosey
good, but does that mean you did drive solo?
1:43 am
gapeach
Oh, I'm about the same.....still looking for a doctor.
1:44 am
gapeach
I'm glad you have your dear ones visiting.
1:44 am
flosey
how is it difficult to find one, peach?
1:45 am
grannyrose
along time ago, flosey. am happy to pillion now.
1:45 am
flosey
grandson was sitting on lap for a while, helping me find words, a big YEAH everytime the line went green
1:45 am
flosey
they scare the heart out of me, rose
1:45 am
grannyrose
peach...you need a doctor? what is wrong, hun?
1:45 am
gapeach
No one wants knows how to treat Post-Polio Syndrome and they are wanting me to wear a patch and I just won't do it. I do read up on things and won't just take whatever they give me.
1:46 am
grannyrose
too cute, flosey.
1:46 am
gapeach
Hey there, rose. Just in pain here. As usual.
1:46 am
flosey
good for you, hold your ground - I learned recently that the sleeping med given to me has side effect - may cause memory loss
1:47 am
flosey
and that is a problem I do have
1:47 am
grannyrose
peach, just how old are you? a range is okay. my mother had polio, she is 87.
1:47 am
gapeach
Well, that is all we need, isn't it?
1:47 am
flosey
next time I need refil, I'll ask for something else
1:48 am
gapeach
Oh, rose, I'm 74, had polio at age 2.
1:49 am
flosey
peach, did you always have trouble following the illness?
1:51 am
grannyrose
that fits, peach. you poor thing....my heart goes out to you. my mum is driving me to distraction...or rather her health professionals are. she has residual weakness in her left ankle, and now weakness in her left hand/wrist due to the fact she wouldn't listen to me when i told her she needed surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome. now her HP's are telling her she has had a stroke...for goodness sake!
1:53 am
gapeach
No, flosey, I lived a great life until about age 35 lower back started bothering me.....long leg brace for 7 years....started throwing my upper back out, so went to crutches for two decades.....hands are broken down from carrying heavy loads. I try not to dwell on it but sometimes my fingers hurt from typing (I won't give up though). I really appreciate all of the energy and prayers from you all.
1:55 am
gapeach
Rose, the doctors in CT tried to put braces on my hands for carpal tunnel.....very difficult to do daily chores with hands trussed up.
1:59 am
grannyrose
i know, peach, but with the hand-surgeon i wanted her to see, she would have had full use of her hand back within 2 weeks. hun, she despises my qualification as a registered nurse so much, she will allow her physical health to deteriorate to a point where she is so debilitated she cannot take care of her self.
2:01 am
gapeach
Sorry, Rose, it would be wonderful if she would allow you to help her. Sometimes people just won't. But at least you know you tried.
2:04 am
grannyrose
it's very frustrating, peach. she once was so dead set on not following my advice, she allowed one of my younger brothers to run around with a fractured wrist for 3 weeks rather than follow my advice.
2:05 am
gapeach
Oh, that is a bit much, isn't it?
2:06 am
grannyrose
it was many moons ago, peach. i have learned to live with it.
2:07 am
gapeach
Well, you know you tried.
2:08 am
grannyrose
thanx, dear peach. it means much to me when people like yourself 'listen' to my advice.
2:10 am
gapeach
You are so welcome. I trust that the future brings you satisfaction and happiness.
2:11 am
grannyrose
peach, with my darling hubby by my side, i anticipate that exact outcome. :)
2:11 am
gapeach
You go, girl.
2:13 am
flosey
back for a bit more, was chatting with daughter
2:13 am
gapeach
Flosey, to they get to visit often?
2:14 am
flosey
either I go over there, or they come here, probably about half dozen times a year
2:15 am
gapeach
I know you must just love having them with you.
2:16 am
flosey
both daughters are in Vancouver, sons both in Toronto area
2:17 am
flosey
sons were settled before we left Ontario, daughters were single and eventually came out
2:18 am
gapeach
I see. You have four then?
2:19 am
gapeach
Nice size family.
2:19 am
flosey
yes, 2 sons 17 months apart, then 2 daughters 15 mos. apart
2:20 am
flosey
they were close and amused each other, played well together while young
2:20 am
flosey
still close of course
2:20 am
gapeach
Good timing, flosey.
2:20 am
gapeach
Mine are 10 years apart.
2:20 am
flosey
had first at 31, at that time it was considered old
2:21 am
flosey
are they close though?
2:21 am
flosey
hello marigold
2:21 am
gapeach
A lot of couples are waiting longer it seems.
2:22 am
flosey
yes, all their friends are in same position
2:22 am
gapeach
No, mine aren't very close. The oldest has always been jealous of the youngest.
2:23 am
flosey
daughter prepares a Tuesday supper as a way of keeping everyone in touch, works well, and gives the kids a chance to play together
2:23 am
flosey
she's a stay home mom
2:25 am
gapeach
Sounds good.
2:25 am
flosey
too bad your son couldn't get over that feeling, they need each other
2:27 am
gapeach
I don't think it will ever happen, flosey. My youngest daughter is very close to her niece.....almost like sisters.
2:28 am
flosey
that's good, perhaps the time will come, peach, don't give up - maybe the young ones will bring it about
2:29 am
gapeach
That would be wonderful.
2:30 am

5:33 am
grannyrose
oh she will, spritey. have an appointment early april. she is good, but very cautious.

5:36 am

5:54 am
sprite
Its... only... words.... and words are all I have... to take your heart away.....
5:54 am

5:54 am
jaianniah

5:54 am
zoozzoom
And half of them..if not more..i have no idea what they mean.
5:55 am
zoozzoom
I do look at the DEF but forget most of them by the next time a new grid comes along..lol
5:55 am
sprite
I have looked up new words all that time, zooz, and learned so many new ones. Of course, they are mostly words I cannot use in normal convo... not unpunished anyway.
5:55 am
jaianniah
My vocabulary was always too big to start with, nyway,but this puzzle has epanded it to include all 500,000n words in The OED...LOLLOLOL!
5:56 am
grannyrose
500,000 n words? my, wonder how many i know?
5:57 am
jaianniah
English is so versatile...You can make up words like mgic...Like "Google" which should appea as a verb pretty sonn...
5:57 am
zoozzoom
Arrrh..why does Enable not except the word Spam.
5:57 am
sprite
it is used as a verb in the Netherlands already, jai
5:58 am
sprite
zooz, silly. Enable does not even recognise 'internet'.
5:58 am
zoozzoom
haha..now that is daft.
5:58 am
jaianniah
Imagine..in 1974, saying to a friend, "Yeah, I \'ll just google that recipe..." Hilarious!
5:58 am
sprite
totally. But true :)
5:58 am
grannyrose
because enable is a scottish jew with a penchant for french??
5:59 am
zoozzoom
Please do not forget that Babble freezes at 11:00AM GMT for about 2 minutes.
5:59 am
sprite
something like that, rose.
5:59 am
jaianniah
ENABLE was written by old men held up in a small room filled with smoke...You'll have to forgive them....
6:00 am
sprite
12 am still here... we won't skip till end of March.
6:00 am
grannyrose
i admit it's not as good as jillibus's definition, but it's pretty close.
6:00 am
sprite
I still think it was an omen that on the day the new pope was picked, 'pope' was a phantom in babble.
6:01 am
jaianniah
That often happens...wait til St. Pat's!

grannyrose

6:30 am
sprite

6:30 am
jaianniah
*story *tired
6:31 am
jaianniah
I found it very funny, Sprite! You got the computer...now aim justs a bit higher!
6:35 am
jaianniah
This is one puzzle that I am getting the longer words, and missing the shorter ones
6:35 am

6:36 am
sprite
*grin* Yeah, similarly
6:36 am
o-o

6:37 am
sprite
my sister does not even play, how unfriendly is that!
6:39 am
jaianniah
I think "Maur" should bee accepted...dragon from some book I read///The Hero and the Crown, I think
6:39 am
sprite

6:41 am
jaianniah
Don't forget your waders for th Trench!
6:41 am
sprite
hi hydra, study of body parts
6:41 am
o-o
Enable is very precise:
TYPES OF WORDS NOT ALLOWED
Proper nouns, abbreviations, contractions, hyphenated words and foreign words that are not in the Enable Dictionary.
6:42 am
hydra
Doh! Fancy missing that! Thanks, sprite.
6:42 am
sprite
whahaha especially that last part
6:42 am
jaianniah
wow..thanks!
6:42 am
sprite
babble blindness, hydra. Happens to the best of us ;)
6:42 am
o-o
So, Enable does not accept words not in the dictionary
6:43 am
hydra
Plenty of phantoms today. Manure, for instance!
6:43 am
o-o
The rest is superfluous
6:43 am
sprite
yeah. In case we were still in doubt. Gotta love enable.
6:43 am
jaianniah
But Enable writes the dictionary..but unfair...
6:43 am
sprite
I don't really mind manure staying a phantom...
6:44 am
jaianniah
TY, sprite...The manure can fertilize my junapor...HaHa!
6:44 am
o-o
farm implement dealerships make money from manure
6:44 am
sprite
oh shit, didn't think of that
6:45 am
jaianniah
Politicians make moey from manure...
6:45 am
hydra
Don't you mean. oh manure, sprite?
6:45 am
hydra
Politicians ARE manure. Well, most of 'em!
6:45 am

o-o
Well done, sprite
6:48 am
jaianniah
Congrats. Now can you text me your answers?
6:48 am
sprite
lol BabbleRabble... leave it to you to find a word actually meaning that!
6:49 am
zoozzoom
totman should be a word..for a man being childish..lol
6:49 am
jaianniah
What am I missing? Is the manure well done?
6:49 am
sprite
I agree, zooz, will add it to the dictionary!
6:50 am
zoozzoom
can even be a plural for a group of them haha
6:50 am
sprite
jai: the word BabbleRabble found 'stercoraceous' = consisting of/resembling dung, living in dung
6:50 am
zoozzoom
Although in fairness it would be totmen.
6:51 am
jaianniah
Trust him to find such a shitty word.....
6:51 am
sprite
BabbleRabble is a word genius
6:51 am
jaianniah

good morning everyone:) looking back on the grid and was interested in the history of paregoric so looked it up.seems it is still used in the u.s.a but mainly as a treatment for babies born of opium addicted women.i had never heard of it,which is not surprise since they started regulating it heavily starting in 1964 and for all purposes was mostly unavailable to the masses by 1970 and afterwards.quite interesting.would not mind a shot of it in the morning tea today i tell you:)))
7:38 am

Hurshy, how old is Marty?
7:41 am

they apparently do pet kidney transplants in a few cities. they find a matching shelter cat to donate a kidney and then you adopt that cat as part of the deal. marty is going on 13.

7:42 am

people often think 13 sounds old but it's really only middle aged for an indoor cat and he is still as spry and agile as a kitten.
7:42 am

wow, I didn't realize he was almost 13. We do get attached to our pets

Who is doc?
7:59 am

Well someone once said enema was a Babblet. When I asked why, I was told a Babblet is a word that doesn't come up in every day conversation. And then there are people who say "all these Babblets" when there are only three or four in the puzzle. So I have to figure there is more than one definition.
7:59 am
hurshy
dr. god, he runs the site
7:59 am
Mom
bye bye Zooz, enjoy your day
7:59 am

so I am assuming that fireworks means you finished the puzzle?

Aww Kaplan...I'm so sorry :(
8:39 am
welki
aw kap - sorry. been there, it's never easy
8:39 am
wvteach
so sorry to hear that Kaplan - that is so hard
8:39 am
Kaplan the Magne
She was very old and failing. She was a sweet cat.
8:39 am
smores
{{ Kaplan }}
8:41 am
Kaplan the Magne
If quite annoying and senile in the last year. She was known to everyone, very social. In her last few days, when she went out to pee and didn't come back, it transpired that some self righteous guy took her without reading her ID tags, brought her to the aspca hospital, and reported us to the animal police.
8:42 am
Kaplan the Magne
He returned her unwillingly after two days because the shelter said he had to return her to the owners, so he made a report to have us investigated.
8:42 am
smores
that is crazy
8:43 am
Kaplan the Magne
The officer said there was no ground to the complaint as I explained her age and general condition (19) years old, so she didn't investigate, but the guy was so nasty to me
8:43 am
mamcitadbh
that is ridiculous. and sorry to hear about your loss
8:44 am
smores
Why would he do that?
8:44 am
Kaplan the Magne
She was clearly traumatized and thrilled to be home, where she rallied a for a day or two- then her legs failed her and after I spoonfed her for two hours I realized it was time...
8:44 am
Kaplan the Magne
Because she was meowing the way she always did, and looked underfed and confused.
8:44 am
mamcitadbh
it is sooooooo difficult to lose a pet
8:44 am
Kaplan the Magne
She had been losing weight- we fed her constantly.
8:45 am
mamcitadbh
sometimes people are nuts
8:45 am
mamcitadbh
at 19 it makes sense she was thin
8:45 am
Kaplan the Magne
Our vet said her long life was a tribute to our care and her strength.
8:45 am
smores
So sorry...but so glad you got her back and she was with you when the time came.
8:45 am
mamcitadbh
of course it was
8:46 am
Kaplan the Magne
The guy didn't know her or us. He was a well-meaning asshole.
8:46 am
mamcitadbh
i suppose well meaning but... check it out before accusing
8:46 am
smores
But if she had tags he should have contacted you immediately
8:47 am
Kaplan the Magne
If your senile grandmother wandered away on the street, and she had ID on her, would someone take her to a hospice and report you for neglect?
8:47 am
mamcitadbh
good point smores
8:47 am
Kaplan the Magne
Of course he should have. He only contacted us when the posters were up, and then it was to accuse us.
8:48 am
Kaplan the Magne
What I couldn't understand was why the shelter doctor didn't give our vet all the info on the tag so they could find her records.
8:48 am
mamcitadbh
That is just awful. I know I would feel terrible iff that happened to me
8:48 am
smores
that's ridiculous
8:49 am
Kaplan the Magne
Anyway, no meowing this morning.
8:49 am
smores
So the shelter didn't contact you?
8:49 am
Kaplan the Magne
No. they didn't.
8:49 am
welki
that's the hard part - i still miss my cats and always get that feeling that something's wrong when i open a can of something and there's no brushing of tails against my legs or meowing
8:50 am
Kaplan the Magne
Our phone number, vet tag and rabies certificate were all there.
8:50 am
mamcitadbh
I hear that-that is why I only last about a year after putting a dog down, after mourning I am off for another...
8:50 am
smores
Again, so sorry Kaplan

morning all!
10:35 am
MimiCat
Morning, Sue!
10:35 am
o-o
Hello, Sue and all.
10:36 am
MimiCat
Does anyone know anything about the PC cleaners to fix registry errors and if any of them are actually free? The ones I'm finding say they're free but then want to charge for the fix. Also, is it necessary to "fix" these really? I have a blinking message on the left side of my Yahoo inbox that is driving me crazy.
10:36 am
uusue2
don't click on it, mimi! Those are bad. They can give your computer viruses.
10:37 am
Judi
Hi, y'all. Don't click on it mimi. Try AVG Security. It is a free anti-virus, anti-spam/malware download. We have it. It works great.
10:38 am
MimiCat
I went to my search engine and found some instead. Wondering if they are dangerous, sue. Am going to ask my son who knows about these things before I actually do anything, though.
10:38 am
MimiCat
Thanks, Judi! I already have AVG as my security. Does that mean it's already "fixing" these?
10:39 am
uusue2
it should be, mimi, you can ask it to run a check if you're worried.
10:39 am
Judi
It's probably blocking a lot of stuff. You might have to go into your programs and delete the blinking Yahoo think. It was probably a sneaky little attachment that came with some silly thing you may have downloaded.
10:40 am
MimiCat
So why do these other scans tell me I have over 2,000 errors to fix? Heck, I can't even imagine having that many errors.
10:41 am
uusue2
they always say that, mimi, the idea is to trick you into running them
10:41 am
MimiCat
Can I get rid of that blinking thing in Programs? It's on the left side, not the right...any idea how it will show up in programs?
10:42 am
Judi
No one has that many errors. Right click on it and check the properties. It may ask if you want to delete or uninstall it.
10:42 am
uusue2
not sure, mimi, I'd have to see it - it may be an ad coming from yahoo?
10:44 am
MimiCat
I tried that on the ad itself but didn't get anywhere. Guess I'll just go through all the programs in the control panel and eliminate any I don't recognize. Yes, apparently Yahoo allowed it since it's on the left side. So annoying. And Yahoo doesn't help AT ALL...they are really difficult to contact. Thinking about switching my provider. Any suggestions? BTW, I don't like gmail.
10:44 am
Judi
It sounds like a Yahoo thing. Check your Yahoo programs. Delete anything you don't recognize.
10:45 am
uusue2
I use yahoo mail and don't have a blinky thing (and I don't like gmail either)
10:45 am
o-o
I use Musher Mail
10:46 am
uusue2
is that like the pony express, BR? (just kidding)
10:46 am
Judi
I use Hotmail. There's Google, but I think they are now in cahoots with Google.
10:46 am
MollyL
Off the subject, but Mimi, it sounds like there has been some healing between you and your kids. That's great.
10:46 am
Judi
Cahoots with Yahoo, rather. Oy.
10:46 am
o-o
Yes, but perhaps a bit slower
10:47 am
MimiCat
I've already opted out of advertising based on my computer activity...scary how they can just get your information. OK---I'm really stupid about these things, Judi....is Yahoo programs in a different place? i never see them in the control panel or regular programs?
10:47 am
uusue2
I am annoyed at google since they announced they are getting rid of reader
10:48 am
MollyL
Why are they getting rid of it Sue?
10:48 am
Judi
Hmm. I would think it would show up in your control panel. Otherwise, it might be in your download file.
10:48 am
uusue2
not enough usage and they want to concentrate on fewer products
10:48 am
uusue2
which makes me glad I'm not using gmail
10:48 am
MimiCat
Hi, Molly! No, unfortunately, not healing with two of my kids. My eldest (the one I just mentioned) and I talk and do not have an actual rift but he still doesn't go out of his way to communicate. His first son's 2nd birthday is tomorrow and I probably won't be included since I have no transportation to get there....guess he doesn't think it's worth it to drive 45 minutes each way to have me there. I'll be sad this weekend.
10:49 am
Judi
I wish Crossy was here. He could troubleshoot this better than anyone.
10:50 am
MimiCat
I'll take a look, Judi. Thanks. I hate aggravation this early in the morning...been dealing with this stupid thing since 6:30.
10:50 am
Judi
I gotta split. Got company coming in a few minutes. Hope you get it worked out, Mimi. Hugs to all! *poof*
10:50 am
o-o
Mimi, click start and type yahoo in the search programs and files area at the bottom .... click enter
10:50 am
MimiCat
Gmail does really weird stuff. I have an account that I just use periodically but it is a very frustrating thing to use.
10:50 am
uusue2
bye judi!
10:50 am
MimiCat
Thanks again, Judi. HAGD!
10:51 am
uusue2
I have an account too, got it when I got irritated at yahoo once, but never use it
10:51 am
MimiCat
Thanks, BR---I always forget I can type in something there!
10:51 am
MollyL
I am also not a fan of gmail.
10:52 am
MimiCat
I'm going to check out hotmail....several of my friends have it and most of my family. Must be a reason.
10:52 am
o-o
go to the address in the c drive and delete the file ... restart your computer .... than you will have reinstall the mail you want
10:52 am
uusue2
I gave up on hotmail a long time ago when my account got hacked
10:53 am
uusue2
if you get a hotmail account I'd suggest not having an address book
10:54 am
MimiCat
i got the gmail because all of a sudden one of my friends can no longer receive mail from my yahoo account. She has checked and she didn't block it or anything....strange. Anyone ever hear of this?
10:54 am
o-o
another option, go to start and type system restore ... restore you files to an earlier date before the irritant arrived
10:54 am
MimiCat
OK---well, there goes hotmail!
10:56 am
MimiCat
Thanks, BR---you're so helpful! Yes, I know about system restore---have done that several times. But this will probably just happen again that way, right? Will do the steps you suggested and see what happens. If that fails, will go back to yesterday.
10:57 am
MimiCat
Sorry to take up so much chat....I love my computer but sometimes it acts up like this and it's like having a naughty child!
10:57 am
o-o
do you know is your OS is 32 bit or 64 bit?
10:59 am
o-o
take a look at this: http://tinyurl.com/7t5ev97
it gets the baddies rather well
11:01 am
MimiCat
OK--will check it out.
11:01 am
MimiCat
Going to leave and try some of these things before I talk to my son...if I can fix it on my own maybe he'll actually think I'm intelligent.
11:02 am
MimiCat
Thanks for all the help. Have a good Saturday and hugs all around.

i can advise on this,helen
11:29 am
crosshair
kindles are good but have proprietary file format system so are handy for in states and if you exclusively get your reading material from kindle store.however,if you wish a more open format to laod books from various sourses,i would advise a barnes and noble glow or the latest sony reader.if budget is an issue ,go with the kobo reader all can be had for under 100 dollars now
11:29 am
crosshair
mm,good spelling there,crossy:(
11:30 am
crosshair
i have a first generation nook reader and it is bulletproof.still going strong and i have run a pile of books through it
11:31 am
manu12/13
BOOM Fireworks for Real
11:31 am
crosshair
nook glows can now be had for 60 odd dollars and that is the route i would personally choose
11:31 am
crosshair
yaa for manu!
11:32 am
helensgirlkid
GLad to hear that - Kobo had caught my eye, partly the price, partly that I hadn't heard of it! I should go back and look at the Nook, maybe - I can't recall why it was off my list. But the Kobo sounds good. I need to be able to download library materials, and Kindle isn't always able or willing!
11:33 am
helensgirlkid
On the other hand - where are you seeing Nook for 60 odd dollars? I'm only seeing it at about 120 dollars!
11:38 am
crosshair
120 is reg price,but they often come on sale for 69.95.i have seen it a few times
11:39 am
crosshair
be warned though,kbo is the most basic,BASIC of ereaders it is well worth the extra 40 to upgrade to a nook glow
11:40 am
crosshair
and when you do decide on an ereader and get it,let me know as i often open up my ebook library to other babblers.i have a selection of over 600 books in pdf and epub format
11:42 am
helensgirlkid
Thanks for the extra advice! Now I start looking for the best price on Nook, I guess - and a case. I will certainly get in touch about your library! remind me to offer mine around once I have one!
11:42 am
gemini_J13
Thanks for the advice!! I am looking for some kind of a reader also....
11:43 am
crosshair
i researched reader ad nauseum when hunting for one for my beloved who has vision issues and all the info just stuck with me
11:44 am
crosshair
the only thing i am unsure of is if kindle finally broke down and is now allowing epub files on their readers yet
11:45 am
crosshair
epubs are the default file format for alomst all libraries who participate in the ebook programme9they also used pdf for heavily illistrated books)
11:45 am
helensgirlkid
With Kindle there's also always the risk they will remove something.
11:46 am
crosshair
for my part it would be: #1 the B&N nook glow, #2 the latest sony offering ,#3 the kobo reader and #4 the kindle
11:47 am
crosshair
there may be some new players in this field,but that is my call
11:48 am
helensgirlkid
I started with PC World - a list, by popularity, by user rating, and by price. 26 Pages of it, and I'd never heard of most of the brands before!

bit of a side note regarding ebook readers: when they first came out i was interested indeed as my mrs had been battling with her eye disease for over a decade by that point and had not been able to read books for at least that long so when sony came out with the first eink ebook reader with a built in reading light(the sony prs 700) i jumped on it the same month it shipped and put in my pre-order for a unit($455.00 inc tax!!!) that was leading up to christmas as i recal and of all the pre-orders in our reigon placed for it SIX units were shipped..we were # 6 on the pre-order list.three months later sony discontinued the model as it was too expensive with its 3 layer screen and went with a non-lit unit for it's next release.it made no matter to me.i gave it to my wife on christmas day and her eyes lit up(i had pre-loaded 100 or so authors i know she likes into it and repacked it before wrapping it) best 450 dollars i ever spent.i just sat there and smiled and watched her read all afternoon..for the first time in ten years;))

Of course!

what is i just drink the GM while cooking a batch of crepes,ruby?? lol
12:35 pm
rubyfoo
sounds like Dan Ackroyd's spoof of Julia Child
12:35 pm
fuzzybunny
GM is the only alcohol that I will drink other than beer and wine
12:36 pm

remember chevy chase? he drank the lime juice,snorted the salt and tossed the shot of tequila over his left shoulder hehe
12:36 pm

Did you know that Julia was 51 before she started her career as a famous chef?
12:36 pm
MollyL
I like liqueurs in desserts, but I can't drink them straight. Too sweet.
12:36 pm
72 Temple Owl
i have a firend who is on some kind of list where she gets invited to all sorts of liquor tastings. that is interesting.
12:37 pm
72 Temple Owl
i am with mollhy on the sweet thing, even the godiva is more reamy than sweet
12:37 pm
fuzzybunny
If you go into a posh liquer store these days the sheer number of different flavors is dizzying.
12:37 pm
rubyfoo
I used to have a friend who would order me a "pousse cafe" (sp?) after dinner -- layers of different liqueurs, both eautiful and delish
12:38 pm
72 Temple Owl
especially flavored vodka. a travesty
12:38 pm
MollyL
I've made one of those, but never tasted one.
12:38 pm
72 Temple Owl
what is in it roby?
12:38 pm
fuzzybunny
Ruby - you are correct on your spelling, the liqueurs are layred according to their specific gravity.
12:39 pm
rubyfoo
it's lovely as you sip it you get the mix of flavors. I've flavored my own vodka with blackberries from the garden -- not bad at all
12:39 pm
crosshair
give me nice basic high end vodka any day.nice high alcohol content so i can clean with it,sterilize wounds or run my car on it if needed:)
12:40 pm
crosshair
no flavoured vodkas for crossy..though i have made bacon vodka at home when the madness strikes me
12:40 pm
72 Temple Owl
i am sure that is much better than god know what they put in it commercial stuff. just a ploy to get kids to drink.
12:40 pm
rubyfoo
I'm not sure, TO, but it was multyi-colored, so it ust have had kahlua, creme de menthe, GM, something clear, etc.
12:40 pm
72 Temple Owl
i will google it
12:41 pm
rubyfoo
and fuzzy bunny is right about the specific gravities -- has to be a sophisticated bar
12:41 pm
MollyL
There are several different recipes, but most call for what Ruby mentioned and a few others.
12:41 pm
rubyfoo
you would need very steady hands!
12:41 pm
MollyL
You have to slow pour, over the back of a spoon to get the whole thing to line up right.
12:41 pm
rubyfoo
hi welki
12:42 pm
72 Temple Owl
i've found one can order anything but if the barkeep is not experienced in making it
12:42 pm
fuzzybunny
Yes, a steady hand indeed! I have made many.
12:42 pm
welki
<-- makes a cocktail with three flavored vodkas (espresso, dutch chocolate and vanilla) and white creme de cacao

ruby,when i used to bartend,there was this 7 layer drink we had to make.the first layers was something firey hot or with cinnamon and the layers cooled and eased ase you went up with it till the top layers was ice cold peppermint schnapps.took a long time to make and it was 1 per customer
12:43 pm
72 Temple Owl
no no, ruby: NOBODY is weghing in :)

i flost 3 coffee beans on that and fire it,fuzzy
12:44 pm
rubyfoo
those were the days!
12:45 pm
crosshair
let it burn for 30 seconds so the coffee flavour infuses into the sambucca then put it out and enjoy.i tried to drink it flaming once and lost half my beard
12:45 pm
fuzzybunny
Bailey's, kahlua, and Sambuca layered, a slippery nipple.
12:45 pm
welki
looked up pousse cafe on google - they're very pretty, reminds me of those clear layered cone-shaped lollipops we had as kids
12:46 pm
72 Temple Owl
i doubt they will be making any where we are going tonight.
12:46 pm
fuzzybunny
Oh Crossy, that sounds delicious, I will have to try that one. I have heard about people loosing mustaches that way as well.
12:46 pm
rubyfoo
we could have a babble bar ; I'd contribute home-made BlackBerry vodka
12:46 pm
fuzzybunny
Great idea, virutal bar, no hangovers.
12:46 pm
crosshair
i would contribute my famouse crossy martini,s
12:47 pm
rubyfoo
an kept virtue
12:47 pm
fuzzybunny
What is in a crossy martini?
12:48 pm
rubyfoo
crossy's are vodka; chez ruby is bombay gin and noilly prat
12:48 pm
72 Temple Owl
mmmmm gin
12:48 pm
welki
mmmm - bombay sapphire
12:48 pm
72 Temple Owl
i like it, it does not like me. or my stonach
12:48 pm
fuzzybunny
I tended bar for many years, made many a martini, but I have drank one!
12:48 pm
rubyfoo
yes indeed
12:49 pm
fuzzybunny
"never drank"
12:49 pm
crosshair
well,fuzzy, you take 3 ounces of chilled vodka OR gin and pour into a large chilled martini glass,then you take a sterling silver coctail sword and add3 pearl onions if using vodka or 3 pimento olives if using gin and gently slide it into the glass so as to not bruise the alcohol.now lean over the glass and gently whisper "Antonio Benedetto Carpano" ad a zest of lemon or a sliver of orange peel and serve
12:49 pm
72 Temple Owl
it seems i am an anomaly because i drink hard lliquor, in my soila circle. this from folks who will drink 3-4 beers. what is the diff?
12:51 pm
72 Temple Owl
if you drink 3-4 beers or one cocktail?
12:51 pm
fuzzybunny
Crossy, that sounds yummy for all my martini drinking friends. I might try a vodka one with the zest of orange.
12:52 pm
crosshair
and they are always shaken,never stirred
12:53 pm
crosshair
so cold,it sends a sliver of chill right to the centre of your head on the first sip
12:53 pm
welki
i've discovered orange angostura bitters - very nice in a manhattan, would be nice with vodka and soda, i'd think
12:53 pm
crosshair
yes,bitters can be used
12:53 pm
fuzzybunny
TO, as far at the alcohol is concerned probably not much of difference. Most good martinis are at least 2 ounces of alcohol. The social difference would be that the beer drinkers would take longer to consume their beers than the person who just drinks one martini.
12:54 pm
fuzzybunny
My sister-in-law drinks campari, bitters and soda over ice and loves it.
12:54 pm
welki
that's my summer drink, fuzzy - with a slice of lime
12:55 pm
welki
have not added extra bitters to it, since campari on its own is already a bitter - but will give it a shot
12:55 pm
72 Temple Owl
if there is dancing i have no time to deink multiple drinks
12:55 pm
welki
hahaha - give it a shot :)
12:55 pm

Sometimes in the summer I will have mt. gay and soda, no fruit. Quite refreshing.
12:56 pm

i have a recipe for a white wine mojito but i find minty drinks unpalatable. i had to have the nie barmaid dotor up my mojito to be able to drink it.
12:57 pm
72 Temple Owl
she put in more lime and soda
12:57 pm
fuzzybunny
Another great summer drink is cold coffee with a shot of Tia Maria and a 1/4 shot of Meyers dark rum, serve over ice, whipped cream on top. I served this by the gallon in the summer time.
12:58 pm
crosshair
too much like a dessert for me,fuzzy,just give the the rum splashed over a single ice cube
12:58 pm
72 Temple Owl

problem is that they go down waaay to easy on a hot day
1:04 pm

Dark and Stormy - Gosling's rum and bermuda ginger beer.
1:04 pm
welki
ohh, i like ginger beer
1:05 pm

Nothing but proper noun definitions for the pa6, country, canal, etc. But this game is notorious for not following it's own rules. : O
2:17 pm
jmcnrick
oh a different country. . . .
2:17 pm
wht
Maybe when it is used as an adjective to describe a hat?
2:17 pm
jmcnrick
i am sure the game follows its own rules . .. i am not sure we really know what those rules are. . .
2:18 pm
MollyL
Well when you read what is "not allowed" (abbreviations) and then see tons of abbreviations allowed, you get the drift that the rules mean nothing.
2:19 pm
wht
Would knowing the rules make this game more fun? Look at all the fun we have complaining about what words are or are not allowed.
2:19 pm

heh heh heh

okay i found the other canal country. . .

My husband always got somewhat possessed when he spent a lot of time writing code. Kind of twitchy and unable to speak words of English well.
2:43 pm

the things that are driving me crazy have nothing to do with that. . . it is more how they have the printing set up . . .
2:44 pm
jmcnrick
but, yes, it must have been pretty high pressure getting it out after the irs responded to the congress's inaction
2:44 pm
wht
My technique for doing my taxes is to call up the guy I carpooled with 20 years ago and set up a time for him to come over and do our taxes.
2:45 pm
jmcnrick
and i also give them credit that there is actually a place where i can give them feedback on this software. . .
2:45 pm
jmcnrick
well i am the person the people call wht so i not only have to struggle with new software but with annoyed clients that it is taking me so long. . . .

2:47 pm
jmcnrick
i will have to tell you the great story about my friend (a quaker) who wrote the code for the clocks on all computers. . . it is so funny
2:48 pm
jmcnrick
he was at berkley and inventing C at the time. . . when he and his friend and coworker realized that computer clocks should have time zones outside of the U.S.
2:48 pm
jmcnrick
so he started writing the code for it and began to look for where he could get information about the various time zones in the world. . .
2:49 pm
jmcnrick
his friend ran across an astrology book in a used book store and realized that astrologers use logrythms to calculate horoscopes and that the book had all the information that they needed for the clocks. . .
2:50 pm
jmcnrick
so they used the astrology information for the clocks that are now in all computers to do the drop down to the right time zone and footnoted that they did so somewhere in some article. . .
2:50 pm
uusue2
pretty funny, jmc!
2:51 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
oh, boy, a used book store! (do go on) 8-)
2:51 pm
jmcnrick
a big company bought up the copyright to the astorlogy book and saw that they didn't pay for the information so sued my friend and his and intuit and microsoft for copyright infringement. . .
2:52 pm
jmcnrick
(yes book i thought you would like that touch! something for nearly everyone in this story)
2:52 pm
uusue2
well, at least intuit and microsoft have deep pockets...
2:53 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
surely the math used in astrology is public domain, but whatever
2:53 pm
jmcnrick
i am sure that is why they sued! but the case was dismissed because they cited it and you cannot copyright facts
2:53 pm
wht
I hope the company lost the lawsuit because copyright only covers the expression of an idea and not the idea itself.

Sorry smores, someone came to walk one of the dogs. The reason I can't get out is because I'm in a wheel chair and I have a postage stamp back yard and although I have a ramp, my muscles are weakening and I never know if I have enough strength to get back up to the door.
4:10 pm

Molly, we were talking the other night about Wayne Dyer....I have one of his live lecture cd sets. The Power of Intention. I will send this to you if you need to hear it.....he makes a great deal of sense.
4:12 pm
MollyL
He makes a great deal of sense, Peach. And it boils down to a simple phrase, thoughts become things. If your thoughts are constantly negative...of worry, fear and anxiety...that is what you invite into your life. If your thoughts are of happiness, health and abundance...that is what you invite into your life.
4:15 pm
gapeach
Indeed. I am surrounded by negative people and am constantly to "bring them up". So, I call on this "Power of Intention" a lot.
4:17 pm
MollyL
In my way of thinking, we are not responsible for the negative energy of other people. We are only responsible for what we do with our own energy.
4:18 pm
gapeach
Well, dear Molly, I will put this cd back, should you know someone who might benefit from it....I will be happy to send it to them.
4:19 pm
MollyL
That is a great idea Peach. I already have a lot of Wayne Dyer lectures in my video library.

I actually can't stand bacon & cabbage, but the son & heir hankers after it, so.....
4:37 pm

how do you cook the cabbage? boil?
4:38 pm
Soodle
Boil the bacon. Then use the water to boil the cabbage. Stinks the house out!
4:39 pm
jmcnrick
oh not so fond of boil bacon. . .a little fat back in my greens is enough for me. . .
4:39 pm
jmcnrick
i could see steaming the cabbage and sprinkling crisp bacon on it. . .
4:40 pm
Soodle
Molly! The woman who deserves my son hasn't been born yet. (Subscribing to the the typical Irish Mammy stereotype)
4:41 pm
MollyL
Saute the cabbage in butter and onions, until the cabbage is crisp/tender. Sprinkle crispy bacon over that and let set for a bit. I serve my with colcannon.
4:42 pm
MollyL
Soodle, that is what I thought. But my daugher-in-law was out there, I just didn't know it yet.
4:43 pm

yum that sounds even better molls. . .i have some cabbage and bacon so i may make that for tomorrow night!
4:44 pm
Soodle
Ah, JMC, the bacon that goes with bacon & cabbage isn't your slivers of bacon so beloved of Crossy. Its a dirty big hunk pork. The actual shank. Jeepers, I'm probably upsetting all vegetarian Babblers
4:44 pm

i have never made colcannon but it looks within my abilities. . .

i would be happy with peasant food forever.crossy does not need the strange concoctions that make it to the tables of the upper crust.it is all too bizzare.give me taters,give me saugges give me yorkie puds,and fish pies,give me pickled eggs and draught beer with a nice wedge of shepards pie.i delight in apple pie with a bit of sharp cheese on the side washed down with a single malt whiskey.give me corned beef and cabbage.give me these things and i am a happy peasant

I love real butter but isn't it an artery blocker?

ChrissieDee
Doesn't stop me eating it though. :)
5:43 pm

too bad the rest that goes along with it is not so great.yes we have that marge here also but it is ultra expensive and my colesterol is fine. odd eh?? all those crossy breakfasts and my colesterol is 96
5:43 pm
crosshair
i am sure cancer will eventually get me long before eating butter will
5:43 pm
crosshair
rest of the body is shot to hell but the colesterol is great;))
5:45 pm
ChrissieDee
lol, good to hear you're still being positive
5:45 pm
crosshair
you can pull up all kinds of reviews on the net of butter vs margerines and in the end it boils down to tit for tat. it is all a trade off.so i just go with what tastes better with the least amount of chemicals
5:46 pm
crosshair
i even make my own butter at home when the mood strikes me
5:47 pm

now,cannot get more natural than that:))

real butter preferably made from raw milk is best for you, marg is not. Or use the Vermont cows that are pledged not to be on hormones for your miljk and butter. Raw milk is best for you if you know your supplier. Ultrapasteurized kills ALL bacteria, good or bad. and what an onymoron is fat-free half and half.

6:13 pm

And uusue lives in a town made rich by bob wire, she must know that--but bob wire was actually invented in Kent, Ohio (more of my research) but the inventor didn't do anything with it, so lost out on a fortune.

LOL--you and me both, lynx! I just told my best friend I feel like the marshmallow man from Ghostbusters is holding me captive and won't let me out! Never had a weight problem before and HATE it. Cardiologist thinks my thyroid is basically GONE. Hope to get it fixed soon.

The thyroid basically controls metabolism and interacts with pretty much everything else in the body. When it goes down, you cannot lose weight no matter what you do-----believe me, I've tried. Just waiting for insurance again...hopefully soon.
8:23 pm
MimiCat
Oh, no, I remember that actor!!! Wow---are we OLD or WHAT?!

Pini, I hope you get to meet mr bugs someday - he's a really nifty guy. I wish I were half as smart as he is. Then the young whippersnappers I am trying to teach would learn so much faster!

10:49 pm

stid, do you have team teaching positions there where 2 teachers share a class. One does mornings and the other does pms or one does 3 days and the other does 2. I wonder if that set up would help you not get so run down?
10:49 pm

The issue is subbing long-term for a young teacher who didn't have good classroom management to begin with. I have the kids (finally) to where most of them will do the work; and most of them are able to be respectful most of the time (which is the best anyone gets at this particular grade).
