3:21 am

hydra

Hi all. Just popped in quickly as have to go out. I have 182 left and just can't find the co9.

3:34 am

rubyfoo

It is very fortunate when we can find friends as we are older. So many friends fall away over the years -- the friends we had in school, as Young mothers and Young marrieds, at work, etc. But the friends we make NOW are very special and very dear

3:34 am

rubyfoo

hello hydra

3:34 am

hydra

Hi ruby. Happy birthday for next week, in case I miss the actual day!

3:35 am

5:15 am

grannyrose

ditto....they are such a delight....son also appreciates the way they react to me. :)

5:15 am

dizgrannie

I have them alot cos the mother, my darling dtr is such a dickhead...and has a BAD taste in partners

5:16 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, diz...that can't be good!

5:16 am

dizgrannie

Glant, have lots of fun. xxx

5:16 am

Glantarell

my son has that problem, so I am not that close to his children, which os a shame

5:17 am

Glantarell

Ss slaughtered

5:17 am

grannyrose

guess i'm the fortunate one, then. mine run to me, with their arms out-stretched, and grins a mile wide on their dials. makes me feel great.

5:18 am

grannyrose

glant, you are amazing....

5:18 am

dizgrannie

Rose, she has had 15 live in 'partners' since her eldest was born 12 1/2 yrs ago....some pretty screwed kiddos.

5:19 am

Glantarell

oh, dear.

5:19 am

Glantarell

good for the children that you are rpoviding some stability in their lives

5:20 am

dizgrannie

thats why eldest g/dtr stays with us most w/ends.

5:20 am

dizgrannie

ty Glant

5:20 am

grannyrose

oh, lord....diz.....an't begin to say how sorry i am that that is the situation. but then YOU are a steady influence in their lives....that has to count for something, hun.

5:21 am

Glantarell

it's such a shame we can't just give our children a parcel of high self esteem

5:21 am

dizgrannie

ty Rose.

5:22 am

Glantarell

I somehow managed to give my daughter self esteem, but my son not quite so much - and yet I did nothing dofferent

5:22 am

Glantarell

his father has low self esteem though, maybe that's the difference

5:23 am

godthaab

I am coming in late to this conversation, but I would never want to give my childen self esteem. It gives them a false view of themselves. I have seen this too many times as a teacher. I would rather give them character.

5:23 am

godthaab

tees

5:24 am

godthaab

SORRY!!!!

5:24 am

Glantarell

but if they don;t have enough self esteem, they rely on others to give ot to the, and many will have ultiple partners (not necessarily good ones)

5:24 am

grannyrose

glant...it's a strange world.... my 2nd and 3rd sons are fine....my 1st is a complete stranger.....nothing changed, except the presence of their father.

5:25 am

grannyrose

hey, godthaab

5:25 am

dizgrannie

they lurve coming here, but sometimes we have probs with our 10 yr old g/son (ADHD/OCC) but he is being tested further for aspergers/tourettes

5:25 am

Glantarell

my daughter has the confidence to try things, accept it if it doesn;t go well first time, and try it again, because I brought her up to believe in herself, that she could do things

5:25 am

godthaab

I don't think anybody can "give" someone a trait. We develop our own.

5:25 am

Glantarell

OK, not 'give' nbut provide the right conditions for it to develop

5:26 am

godthaab

I hate to through a bomb in here and run, but I am late. Bye

5:26 am

Glantarell

and when I said at the start 'i wish we could give it', i meant i know we can't, but it would be helpful to soem if we could

5:26 am

Glantarell

bye godthaab

5:26 am

grannyrose

hmmm, godthaab...i think the genetic pre-disposition is in all of us....we choose to develop it.

5:27 am

grannyrose

np's godthaab....each to his/her own.

Co+ faster than walk + foot digits

6:18 am

rubyfoo

6:21 am

ChrissieDee

Good day everyone

6:21 am

rubyfoo

I am so sick of rain!

6:22 am

smores

hey at least it isn't snow

6:23 am

rubyfoo

that's like the scene in Young Frankenstein, where they're diging up "AB Normal's" grave and Igor says, "It could be worse, it could be raining....." And the heavens open up

6:23 am

smores

how is the temp there ruby? Has it warmed up nicely?

6:23 am

rubyfoo

a little, but not nicely

6:23 am

smores

LOL...hilarious movie

6:23 am

ChrissieDee

Snow, snow, sick sick, snow

6:23 am

rubyfoo

too cold to work outside

6:24 am

MollyL

Frau Blucher!

6:24 am

ChrissieDee

Sounds like a ballroom dance

6:24 am

rubyfoo

it's twoo! (trying the same joke as yesterday when nobody got it)

6:25 am

MollyL

Would you like to roll in ze hay? Roll, roll, roll, roll.

6:25 am

rubyfoo

hahah

6:25 am

rolin

snow chrissie...?.. we just have rain

6:25 am

rubyfoo

wan't it in Diary of a Mad Houswife where Richard Benjamin used to approach his wife with "How about a roll in the hay?"

6:26 am

ChrissieDee

Snow remaining in sheltered places, hasn't fallen for a few weeks though rolin

6:26 am

rubyfoo

All I know is movies!

6:26 am

rolin

oh wow ruby...I haven't thought about that book in years

6:26 am

MollyL

I'm trying not to be grumpy about the rain. I planted yesterday and I'm grateful for the watering from Nature.

6:26 am

rubyfoo

hi rolin

6:26 am

rolin

me too molly...

6:26 am

rubyfoo

molly is never grumpy

6:27 am

rubyfoo

I asked husband to buy seeds for Thymus Serpyllum to use instead of grass and instead he brought home 4 Thymus Vulgaris plants. How weird is that?

6:28 am

smores

agreed...thankful spring has sprung :)

6:28 am

MollyL

Not weird. He could only remember the Thymus part.
: D

6:29 am

rubyfoo

It was written down! He asks for lists and then doesn't read them

6:29 am

smores

lol

6:30 am

MollyL

He is a y-chromo Ruby. They don't read lists or directions.

6:30 am

ChrissieDee

Googled T S, looks pretty ruby. Have you used it in place of grass before?

6:30 am

rubyfoo

it's twoo

6:31 am

ChrissieDee

..or instructions

6:31 am

MollyL

This is explained in that Jeanne Robertson video. Send them to the store with a list that says "1 pound of flour" and they will come home with 5 pounds.

6:31 am

rubyfoo

no but I wanted to combine i with Corsican mint to have a care-free lawn. Every year, DH insists on having the grass cut too short and every year it turns Brown and dies

6:33 am

rubyfoo

Martha Stewart was my source when I planned this garden

6:33 am

ChrissieDee

Who's seen the Two Ronnies "four candles" sketch, priceless!

6:33 am

MollyL

Moral of the story: If you want certain plants, go get them yourself. : P

6:33 am

rubyfoo

but we also needed dirt and I couldn't manage that

6:34 am

rubyfoo

you're right, of course

6:34 am

smores

my sister used a lovely creeping thymus throughout her backyard....mainly around the trees and between the stepping stones...very nice purple

6:35 am

smores

Is that the same as the Serpyllum?

6:35 am

rubyfoo

that's it smores, and my garden is all in shades of purple, red, pink, blue and salmon

6:35 am

rubyfoo

yes, exactly the same plant

6:35 am

smores

ahh...didn't know the proper name :)

6:36 am

rubyfoo

creeping thyme is right but since we're in France, I have to know the Latin names of plants

6:42 am

MollyL

Really? They will speak Latin but not English? Shame on them.

6:43 am

rubyfoo

for buying plants, without the Latin name, all is lost. It is hard to know the common Fr names

6:43 am

Vulgar...there's a word you don't hear too often these days...and it's been used twice in chat this morning. Well, if you count Ruby's plant mishap.

7:45 am

MollyL

I am ne4 the corner, I am ne6 (not in grid) to the corner, then make it a superlative (odd word)

7:52 am

BzznBea

Thanks for the ne8, Molly.

7:53 am

sandyloo

thanks for that molly

7:53 am

Anniebrook

that is one odd word, thanks, Molly

7:54 am

cool.girl

cant get the second bit

7:54 am

MollyL

I can't seem to use ne8 in a sentence without it sounding like something an English teacher would put a big red circle around.

7:54 am

MollyL

ne4 + not truth + consonant

7:54 am

72 Temple Owl

ah, my only clued word out of 243. but i am beat, up too early, had to get up and call for heat

7:55 am

MollyL

Way cooler today than it was the past few days.

Always good to dance when you are done doing your taxes. : D

Just passed one year since my Dad died unexpectedly in front of me. It has been a year in a fog.

8:18 am

Anniebrook

yes, it is hard to go through. It happened to me also.

8:18 am

NonoNanette

oh Scrabs, I did not know, am so sorry for your loss

8:19 am

montreal13

sorry to hear that ... my mom passed away last may, quite unexpectedly as well... still in the estate as i am the executor...

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Grief is life's biggest challenge, I think. Maybe I am wrong. But adjusting to life without a beloved being is so tough.

8:19 am

Anniebrook

sorry to hear that, montreal

8:20 am

Scrabbler

Oh, Luc, you are in that daze too.

8:20 am

Scrabbler

Annie--your husband, your Dad? Which experience?

8:21 am

NonoNanette

sorry Luc It is really hard to lose a loved one

8:21 am

Anniebrook

My Dad

8:21 am

montreal13

she didn't pass away in front of me (that must be terrible) but saw her before they covered her up and that was terrible enough...

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Aw, Annie. It has been so hard. I was talking with him, he was cheerful and joking around,and then he was staring off and gone.

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Luc. I continue to ask, as I did from that moment, so WHERE are you now?

8:22 am

Anniebrook

scrabbs, my father was in the hospital and said he was tired. I told him to rest and he never answered. It was a awful shock.

8:23 am

Anniebrook

My father laid back, I asked him if he wanted me to adjust the bed, he said no, then he was staring. Yes, a horrible, kick-in-the-gut, shock.

8:24 am

Anniebrook

cool. on 6/24

8:25 am

8:29 am

montreal13

you are a doctor scrabs aren't you ? there was a great article in the Time magazine about a month ago about the cost of health care in the US - have u read it ?

8:30 am

Scrabbler

Not that article, but others. American health care IS out of control--too may te5, too much unnecessary use of technology, too many unnecessary use of ERs. too much unnecessary use of medications....

8:32 am

Scrabbler

And I have witnessed fellow MDs play a role in the nonsense.

8:32 am

montreal13

right... if u r interested in the article, send me your email add. (mine is my profile) and i'll forward it to you (if i can manage it !)

8:32 am

worzel

can i have clue for the pi10 please? xxx

8:32 am

Scrabbler

I will go to the Time website. Actually, my mother gets Time, so I will read it at her house.

8:33 am

o-o

and in my opinion the worst is the turf wars instead treating a patient with team concept formulated for the particular patient

8:33 am

montreal13

ok scrabbs gr5 ! - 1st pass 166/124 = pitiful ! - BBL - nice to SEE you all - happy babblings all !

8:34 am

thx scrabs - hi and bye BR - "POOF"

8:34 am

Anniebrook

8:35 am

o-o

I really cannot understand why the dualistic model has any credibility anymore

8:36 am

Scrabbler

For mental health care--one doc for talk therapy, another dispenses the drugs, often many drugs. It is frightening how many kids are on multiple psych drugs for various behavior problems.

8:37 am

periwinkle

hi all

8:38 am

Scrabbler

Hello Peri

8:38 am

periwinkle

very true, Scrabs. and it is the docs best interest to keep them on the meds :(

8:38 am

periwinkle

help with the lone R on the bottom pls

8:38 am

Anniebrook

more ri 4/7

8:39 am

Riverdance

ri5/16

8:39 am

Scrabbler

And far too many parents prefer that their child be medicated rather than do the hard work of teaching the child to change their behaviors

8:39 am

o-o

Yes, the debate is raging over what constitutes a disorder or a normal reaction to a traumatic event.

8:40 am

periwinkle

indeed, BR

8:40 am

periwinkle

ty for ri5

8:40 am

Scrabbler

and normal toddler/young child behavior--inattention, tantrums/etc--is now treated as ADHD and bipolar disease.

8:41 am

periwinkle

that is awful, scrabs

8:41 am

Jivingjenny0

I have two grandsons with Aspbergers, i is on medication and worries me to death, the other drives me nuts but it must be better to just use good parenting

8:42 am

o-o

Insel, the director of the National Institute of Mental health states repeatedly how behind we with understanding the mechanisms of emotional health

8:42 am

Scrabbler

I see it everyday. The natural state of young kids = emotional lability, tantrums, inattention, impulsivity, fidgetiness--is something kids are supposed to outgrow, if given adequate discipline .

8:43 am

eieios

by what age, scrabb?

8:43 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, what age child are you describing?

8:43 am

Scrabbler

Jenny, I do hope the boys do well.

8:43 am

o-o

Politics and greed complicate matters

8:43 am

MollyL

The other side of that coin are the kids with real disorders in need of treatment whose parents refuse to acknowledge it.

8:44 am

periwinkle

also true, Molls

8:44 am

o-o

Yes, that is a serious issue too

8:44 am

Scrabbler

Perhaps age 8 or so, later for boys than girls. Boys are the real victims--10% of 11 yr old American boys are on meds for "ADHD."

8:45 am

Jivingjenny0

the boys are the same age and the one on medication is very subdued and doesn't want to eat or sleep. The other one is very clever and although has a job to sit still for long is obviously going to be able to lead a full and useful life - they are both 13

8:45 am

Scrabbler

As far as tantrums--should be done by age 3 or 4 if kid are taught well. Kids must be dethroned by that age.

8:45 am

MollyL

They started over pushing the ADHD thing twenty some years ago when my oldest was in first grade.

8:45 am

periwinkle

and then they stay on those meds indefinitely, Scrabs

8:46 am

Anniebrook

the meds are addictive

8:46 am

Scrabbler

Yes, once labeled and treated, then always labeled and treated. So sad, so worrisome.

8:46 am

periwinkle

very worrisome

8:46 am

Anniebrook

scrabbs, can one get off these meds at some point?

8:47 am

Scrabbler

And "ADHD" becomes THE reason, the excuse for ALL misbehaviors and difficulties. "Well, he has ADHD...."

8:47 am

periwinkle

Very true, Scrabs!!

8:48 am

o-o

Then too, according to many studies, some genetic and environmental issues are not capable of being changed only understood and ameliorated

8:48 am

MollyL

And that teaches the child to "live in their disorder" instead of learning ways to cope with it.

8:48 am

Scrabbler

I see 4 yr old on ADHD meds. Aren't most 4 yr olds impulsive, inattentive and fidgety??

8:48 am

eieios

we handled all my son's issues privately and kept the school out of it, so he was never officially labeled. I didn't want to deal with that headache.

8:48 am

o-o

Learned helplessness is a problem

8:48 am

MollyL

In my opinion, most parents can't be bothered to discipline their children.

8:49 am

Riverdance

when my daughter was 4 I wanted to kill her. ...that was the worst year. She turned 5 and bam the trouble was over.

8:49 am

Scrabbler

Meds can be stopped but if a parent buys into the whole ADHD diagnosis and "need" for meds, then stopping meds is unlikely.

8:49 am

cool.girl

clue for the single t please

8:49 am

Judi

Howdilly doo, one and all.

8:49 am

MollyL

Judi, Judi, Judi

8:49 am

periwinkle

I guess the same could be said for an adult who has been on ADHD meds for years

8:50 am

Scrabbler

Too true, Molly--parents prefer a diagnosis and meds rather than teaching their child to learn new skills

8:50 am

Scrabbler

Judi doo

8:50 am

o-o

I have gotten off many medications ..... Burns is one who says if a person is not doing better on meds after a specific period of time how can continued use be justified ... it does alter the brain

8:51 am

Scrabbler

*looking, cool-girl**

8:51 am

eieios

we haven't ever let him use his deficits as an excuse either. we tell him he can control it or let it control him. he is in high school now and has learned coping skills so he isn't dependent on the meds.

8:51 am

Riverdance

te6/18 think see saw

8:52 am

Scrabbler

BR, have you been tested for the MTHFR DNA mutation? Read about that. I am homozygous and started taking methylfolate 18 months ago.

8:52 am

eieios

did anyone ever clue the pi10?

8:52 am

Scrabbler

Very good, eieios.

8:52 am

MollyL

I know a special ed teacher (who I have great respect for) who says to her kids "You are going to own your disability, or it is going to own you." It is her goal to make sure her kids do NOT use their disabilities as an excuse for not being the best they can be.

8:53 am

o-o

my treatment team has told me I need to accept the fact I will not get better

8:53 am

Scrabbler

I wish more teachers had that perspective. Too many people lower the bar.

8:53 am

cool.girl

dont getit

8:54 am

Scrabbler

Depends on the "diagnosis", BR. And if the diagnosis is accurate.

I do have hope for the next generations .... the work on the brain is stunning and more is being done with environmental and nurture issues

8:59 am

Scrabbler

TY, River

9:00 am

Scrabbler

Yes, BR--more objective testing--fMRIs, SPECT scans, genes--so improved diagnoses and more accurate, effective treatments, rather than trial and error approach

9:02 am

Scrabbler

OK, I finally figured out the pi10, an hour after seeing first clue.

9:03 am

o-o

Of course if our pusillanimous leaders would quit sending people off to war zones there would be an immediate improvement in emotional health, less homelessness and fewer suicides

9:03 am

Scrabbler

So true. War is largely unnecessary.

9:05 am

Judi

Major points for using a 13 letter word, Scrabbs!

9:05 am

Scrabbler

BR used the really big word--pusillanimous!

1st Commandment of Babble: Thou shalt use
tinyurl

1:29 pm

hurshy

a congressman is a term that can be applied to either a senator or a member of the house of representatives, however is usually used for the latter.

1:29 pm

MollyL

A congressman is an elected representative
to government.

1:30 pm

TraderKate

it adds charaters at the end to the www hurshy... not sure how many characters to delete from end

1:30 pm

hurshy

it's not the end, it's everywhere you see \n, that needs to come out

1:30 pm

Soodle

So, he is elected locally, to serve nationally? Like aBritish MP, right?

1:31 pm

hurshy

correct, like an MP, except more douchey

1:31 pm

MollyL

If you say so.
Our MP's are Military Police : D

That's funny because I was going to recommend
"Scandal" but thought it might be too "US government"
based.

1:34 pm

TraderKate

large city bird famed for pooping on statues

1:35 pm

I'm really enjoying it. And, Molly, no I'm not, but if I were, that Peter Russo would be my congressman of choice. :-P

Well, every time I start going down that street, you

1:44 pm

MollyL

I don't know about dull women, but I know OCD women have immaculate homes. : P

1:45 pm

Soodle

Kate, a good friend advised me to buy some 'Get Well Soon' cards & leave them on the mantlepiece. Then, if someone unexpected called, I could point to the cards, and say that I've been under the weather, hence the mess.

1:45 pm

I'm really lucky. I park my car round the back of the house, out of sight. If the doorbell rings, I peek out the window, and I can decide whether I 'm in or not - depending on the caller!

Soodle

Hello Sprite (((())))

2:11 pm

2:11 pm

Soodle

Fight?

2:12 pm

yeah, my son and husband had a huge fight earlier today... things got physical and out of hand. Very blech.

2:13 pm

TraderKate

:( how distressing

2:13 pm

Soodle

I'm very well, thanks. And so sorry to hear about tensions at home. It can be so difficult.

2:13 pm

sprite

yes, very. I came home from therapy day... full day of therapy. Must have a secret store of energy and patience somewhere, lol, 'cause God know where I got it from.

2:14 pm

sprite

glad to hear you are well, Soodle :)
Yeah, it was nasty, but I got them to talk it out. I think things will be a little better now.

2:14 pm

Soodle

How old is your boy, Sprite?

2:15 pm

sprite

he will be 17 next month

2:16 pm

Soodle

Oh my. A very tricky age. Never mind, he has a wonderful Mom, and things will sort themselves out! For sure!

2:17 pm

sprite

:D

2:18 pm

sprite

I guess it is against nature, the way we keep our children home until into their twenties... nature made it so that the young male wants to challenge the old one... and the old one wants to protect his own status... and there you go, antlers stuck :)

2:20 pm

Nef

Good Afternoon, All. (((sprite))) Been there, done that; our son is 33 and a very nice person (and very caring too). Your son will get there; just remember to pick your fights wisely and don't let him push you too much.

2:21 pm

sprite

hi Nef :) *hugs*
Thanks... great advice. And a good reminder.

2:21 pm

TraderKate

2:21 pm

Nef

Let him get out on his own, remind him you love him; but if he's got the answers, he's got to do it on his own dime.

2:22 pm

indeed. Will keep that in mind. It is good to hear from people who have lived through this and survived ;)

2:22 pm

2:28 pm

Soodle

I called MY Mom recently, and was venting about the thoughtlessnes/insensitivity/selfishne\nss of my kids, and she just remarked 'T'wasn't off the ground they picked it up from'. Soodle was put back in her box toot sweet!

2:28 pm

2:28 pm

Nef

I had to kick our son out when he didn't join us for a family 4 day trip to the Wisconsin Dells and threw a party here and drove our car (which he wasn't supposed to have a key for). We had 3 weeks of blessed peace and quiet and then he called to bail him out of jail. I refused to do it. It was the hardest thing I've ever done

2:28 pm

sprite

Kate, cryptic hint: dove rocks.

2:29 pm

TraderKate

i can hear that in my head soodle, thick accent and all :)

2:29 pm

sprite

I really think that was the best you could do for him, Nef. But yes, that must have been so hard.

2:30 pm

TraderKate

MollyL

Sorry Nef, she said a WORD while asking a question.
: P

3:01 pm

Nef

(we've got to make it harder to get in here!)

3:02 pm

jeanne314

The Bailey's I need...supposed to be working...hahaha. I post about once in every four years...vented my spleen and committed a faux pas...sigh...

3:02 pm

TraderKate

do any of the oc word have to do with "8" ?

3:02 pm

BzznBea

first ta5/10?

3:02 pm

Nef

(I don't want to share with tons of people; the goodies are really good today! ;-)

3:02 pm

TraderKate

you're just out of practice jeanne, you should chat more, not less :)

3:03 pm

MollyL

Hey people vent here all the time. You don't have to "not chat" because you did that.

3:04 pm

jeanne314

true...I love following the stories of everyone...I'm just the strong, silent type...NOT. But I like the cookies and hugs, and even the occasional fish slap that happens...

3:04 pm

BzznBea

No, Kate.

3:04 pm

jeanne314

No, I know everyone is good humored here...keeps me happy just seeing the happy regular posters!

3:04 pm

MollyL

Yes, but the strong silent types usually have the best stories. : D

3:05 pm

MollyL

I don't know. Chemically, doesn't the gas word have to do with 8? To be really obscure and all that.

3:05 pm

jeanne314

well...but of course I have a few...bring on the Bailey's! I've got to work some more, but maybe I won't be silent for long...hugs to all!

3:06 pm

Foffle

yes molly

3:06 pm

MollyL

And the one after that has to do with 8, in the math sense.

3:06 pm

TraderKate

ty bea
i would love to hear you speak out jeanne, this is a gr5/14 place to vent or share joy.

3:06 pm

jeanne314

3:06 pm

TraderKate

3:07 pm

TraderKate

<--- pleased that a lurker will be joining the chog more in the future :))

3:07 pm

MollyL

Okay, now I'm confused. Isn't Kate the one who asked if any oc words had to do with 8?

3:07 pm

Nef

BTW, the craisin oatmeal cookies were made by DH and our grandson (his Mom is back in the hospital again, so we had him while our son was at a job interview)

3:08 pm

TraderKate

7:16 pm

lilliann

7:16 pm

Lizlin

In agreement with you there!

7:17 pm

lilliann

saying that molly, i wish i could go back into the changing rooms now :)

7:17 pm

Nef

(sorry, reading back in chat; trying to catch up with what's been said (and any loose clues! ;-)

7:17 pm

Lizlin

It's not just exposure, it's blatant flaunting - look at those TV progs where mothers are putting their very young girls into competitions!

7:17 pm

rururocks

I wish I was exposed to sexuality before I was.. I'd have had a better headstart

7:17 pm

pippingeek

ooh, i just got the ri8! pasta!

7:18 pm

Lizlin

But that could be a random comment because I haven't read back in the chog!

7:18 pm

Lizlin

I'm sure you caught up quickly, ru :)

7:18 pm

lilliann

with loads of make up on and hardly any clothes liz.i don't know how a mother could do that to a young child.i think they want to relive their lives through their children

7:18 pm

rururocks

thanks for that Ri Pippin.. that one I didn't have

7:18 pm

lilliann

7:19 pm

7:20 pm

periwinkle

7:21 pm

periwinkle

I don' watch any reality shows

7:21 pm

lilliann

i like masterchef

7:22 pm

Nef

okay, caught up with chog now. Hi again everyone!

7:24 pm

Nef

bye, peri! HAGD (or night

7:24 pm

Lizlin

Masterchef - Cookery competition - UK is better that than the Aus show. Aus show is too dramatic with Big Brother aspects, though some of the challenges are good.

7:25 pm

lilliann

i must admit liz, i watched the aus one once and didn't like it

7:26 pm

Nef

I love to watch some cooking shows, I like the Iron Chef the best.

7:26 pm

Lizlin

I'm getting used to it but record it and fast forward over all the garbage!

7:26 pm

lilliann

i think there is a masterchef new zealand aswell.i'm sure i saw it on the tv guide on sky the other day

7:26 pm

Lizlin

Look out for the UK Masterchef Nef - it's a good show.

7:26 pm

lilliann

i don't know iron chef nef

7:26 pm

Lizlin

Never seen the NZ one, lilli.

7:27 pm

lilliann

it's on at moment.next week it will be the semi finals(uk one that is)

7:27 pm

Lizlin

I think we've only just seen the 2011 here!

7:28 pm

gapeach

Congrats, peri!!!!!

7:28 pm

lilliann

you could see it on bbc iplayer on your computor liz

7:29 pm

pippingeek

okay, let's see if my new icon works

7:29 pm

Nef

It's an old Japanese cooking show, there is a more modern version of it here in the US but I like the old ones better. It pits an "Iron Chef" that this one millionaire has picked out as the best in Japan against a challenger each episode. They have 1 hour and there are judges who look at taste presentation and plating appeal (I think)

7:29 pm

pippingeek

grr.

7:29 pm

Lizlin

Could do, lilli but as long as it's shown regularly here, it doesn't matter too much if it's a year or two behind. We also get the celebrity and the professional versions here.

7:30 pm

lilliann

i see a cat pipping :)

7:30 pm

MollyL

Oh, we have gone from red shoes to a surprised looking cat. I wish I had 100 bucks for every cat icon here.
: D

7:30 pm

Lizlin

Time to list I think. Just not seeing any words now!

7:30 pm

Nef

pipping, It sometimes takes up to a full day for a picture to change; at the least, it takes about 20 minutes for your old icon to clear from chog

7:31 pm

lilliann

if i click on your icon, that is

7:31 pm

pippingeek

oh well. boo

7:31 pm

Lizlin

I still have red shoes but a cat if I click on the icon!

7:31 pm

pippingeek

yay, that is my ronia!

7:31 pm

lilliann

sounds good nef

7:31 pm

MollyL

I never have that problem. If you hit REFRESH, right after you change your icon, then refresh when you get back to the home screen, you should see the new icon.

7:33 pm

Nef

Wow, Molly! That actually works on my new computer! :-D (I'm so loving this thing!)

7:33 pm

lilliann

cute cat pipping. mine is cute, when she's not being a witch

7:33 pm

MollyL

But I don't use one of those MAC things, so I can't speak for them.

7:33 pm

MollyL

Nef! You got a new computer! Good for you!

7:34 pm

Lizlin

Can I have a clue for the ar 7 / 8 combo pls?

7:35 pm

MollyL

Ends in alternate spelling of not day

7:35 pm

lilliann

7:35 pm

Nef

7:38 pm

Nef

I've always had Macs; going back to 1993. But DH bought me a "new" used (refurbished ) G5 about 2 years ago for Christmas (with my son's advice) and last June many of the different apps were no longer supported.

7:38 pm

7:49 pm

Solemn but so cute! All fluffy!

hi/bye/well done, dawg

8:01 pm

Lizlin

Congrats lbd

8:02 pm

MollyL

Pip, I don't find comedians as funny now as they used to be.

8:02 pm

pippingeek

there's a lot of really terrible stuff among the few good ones

8:03 pm

MollyL

I said that wrong. I don't find the present day comedians as funny as the ones from previous generations.

8:03 pm

pippingeek

i figured that's what you meant

8:04 pm

Nef

YAY, lbd!!! WTG!!!

8:04 pm

Lizlin

Sorry - haven't heard of him!

8:04 pm

pippingeek

i think a lot of the comedy now is not just about different things, but they're really worked to change the definition of comedy in a lot of ways

8:04 pm

Lizlin

Just googled him though.

8:04 pm

MollyL

I used to laugh until I was in tears at Tim Conway and Harvey Korman.

8:04 pm

pippingeek

so some folks like it better now but a lot of people miss the more classic stuff

8:05 pm

gapeach

Congrats, lbdawger!!!!!!!

8:05 pm

pippingeek

but i def grew up loving jonathan winters

8:05 pm

MollyL

The new comedy people all seem to be trying to be Carlin or Lenny Bruce and failing miserably at it.

8:05 pm

pippingeek

and of course carol burnett and laugh in and that sort of thing, and don't even get me started on how much i love the monty python crew

8:06 pm

penquis

still working on that clue, welki... :o|

8:06 pm

Nef

I think one thing with the old time comedians is that they didn't have to swear or be explicit. You could read into what they said and it was funnier

8:07 pm

welki

pen, it wasn't a clue - it was a ridiculous 'unword'

8:07 pm

penquis

ah...ok....thanks....

8:08 pm

welki

ohhhh - it's what we breathe + to raise

8:08 pm

rururocks

I loved Jonathan winters as a kid

8:14 pm

rururocks

8:14 pm

Lizlin

8:14 pm

MollyL

It's one of those words that the old guys in shorts, black socks and sandals (aka Enable guys) made up when they were not researching foreign currency and seldom heard of animals.

8:14 pm

Lizlin

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!!

8:17 pm

Nef

Hi Min! How are you?

8:17 pm

Lizlin

Hi Min :)

8:17 pm

MollyL

Good evening to you, fellow Babble player.

8:18 pm

Minveryork

I am well.Happy it's Friday.I got home late every day this week. I am exhausted!

8:19 pm

MollyL

Gramma coined a new word in chat this week.
Exhaustipated. Too tired to give a shit. : D

8:20 pm

Lizlin

Great word!

8:20 pm

Nef

Put your feet up and join in the chog; Min. You deserve some relaxation and fun

8:20 pm

MollyL

I know Liz, it's a keeper. : )

8:20 pm

pippingeek

hi min

8:20 pm

Nef

Cute, Molly. I'll have to remember that! :-)

8:22 pm

pippingeek

oof. tired and hungry. think i'm going to be bad tonight and order a pizza

8:23 pm

MollyL

It is not "bad" to order pizza.

8:23 pm

Nef

pipping, ordering a pizza isn't bad; it's the eating the whole thing at once that is bad (so you better share it here, okay?

8:23 pm

Lizlin

Enjoy your evening pipping :)

8:23 pm

pippingeek

okay, what toppings do you life?

8:24 pm

pippingeek

er, like

8:24 pm

pippingeek

also, i guess we're eating pizza in the pb, or at least i am

8:24 pm

Nef

green pepper, Canadian Bacon and pineapples!

8:24 pm

MollyL

Sorry, I'm working on eliminating the self-depreciating words women use about food.

8:25 pm

crosshair

here we just order bacon cause we already know we have the best!!:)

8:25 pm

MollyL

You can have that WHOLE pizza all to yourself Nef.

8:25 pm

pippingeek

no, it's a good project, molly, important

8:25 pm

pippingeek

yeah, um, nef, you're gonna have to get your own pizza

8:25 pm

MollyL

Yes, but what they call Canadian bacon here isn't really Canadian.

8:26 pm

Nef

And I'm trying to view food as a healthy part of li**, not a No No. It makes a difference in my eating patterns and the way I see myself

8:26 pm

crosshair

we do not have to differentiate tween canadian bacon and whatever it is you eat down there:))

8:26 pm

crosshair

i know,molly,what you call canadian bacon we call peameal bacon

8:27 pm

MollyL

Bacon is bacon, when it comes to slaughtering a pig.

8:27 pm

Nef

really, Crossy? I've never heard that term before

8:27 pm

crosshair

yes,it all oinks

8:28 pm

MollyL

What we call Canadian bacon is really lean ham. I'm still not sure what that peameal stuff is.

8:28 pm

Nef

okay, if no one likes my suggestion of pizza toppings, how about a margarita pizza (and that isn't alcohol, either)

8:28 pm

crosshair

same thing

8:29 pm

pippingeek

those are good

8:29 pm

MollyL

I think the peameal stuff is what we call back bacon.

8:29 pm

pippingeek

the pizza you said, nef

8:29 pm

crosshair

here,nef we have a bacon,mushroom and pepperoni pizza which is called a "canadian"

8:30 pm

Nef

thanks, pipping. those are the only 2 pizzas I like.

8:30 pm

pippingeek

i wonder what an "american" pizza would be

8:30 pm

pippingeek

probably gross

8:30 pm

pippingeek

i like mine with sausage, tomato and broccoli

8:30 pm

Nef

(I'm not a fan of sausage or pepperoni)

8:30 pm

crosshair

no coment lol

8:30 pm

Lizlin

And here I love a pizza - Mullumbimby Madness! Bet none of you has heard of that!

8:30 pm

pippingeek

sometime pineapple to go with the sausage

8:30 pm

MollyL

Talk to anyone who has had pizza in Italy. All the pizza we have here is "American".

8:30 pm

pippingeek

and fresh mozz on a pizza, or goat cheese, or spinach, those are all great too

8:31 pm

Nef

Liz, what is that?

8:31 pm

crosshair

it is indeed molly,i have seen true itallian pizza and we would not like it much

8:31 pm

MollyL

Oh man, I am never ordering pizza with you all.

8:31 pm

crosshair

all italian pizza is is cheese and sauce cooked real hot real fast

8:32 pm

Nef

that sounds good, cross.

8:32 pm

Lizlin

It's a veggie one - mushroom, green peppers, onions, garlic, chilli and other stuff!

8:32 pm

Lizlin

tomatoes, cheese also

8:32 pm

Nef

Molly, what do you like for pizza?

8:33 pm

pippingeek

yeah, cross, i like that

8:33 pm

pippingeek

i mostly eat cheese pizza

8:33 pm

pippingeek

but when i go for it, i load up the veg

8:33 pm

Nef

you had me until you said chili, Liz. What else do they have?

8:34 pm

Lizlin

It's only a dash of chilli and they'll make to order, so you can leave it off!

8:35 pm

Lizlin

Also includes courgette (zucchini) and black olives.

8:35 pm

crosshair

been forever since i have ordered a pizza;((

8:35 pm

crosshair

crossy does not like olives:((

8:36 pm

Nef

is that chili powder then (I was imagining the dish we call chili)

8:36 pm

MollyL

I like lots of mozzerlla cheese (not goat cheese), pepperoni, italian sausage and a little bit of onion. Onion is the only vegetable I need on pizza.

8:36 pm

penquis

thanks to the cluers for the ai word....i did find it!

8:36 pm

crosshair

when the mrs and i shop we hurry by the olive cart you see near the deli in a lot of stores..it stinks

8:36 pm

Lizlin

Yes it's veggie! So it's a few chilli flakes. You can leave the olives off, crossy! 66 left - BBL. Enjoy your evenings!

8:37 pm

MollyL

Olives and goat cheese on food are mixing metaphors. They belong on Greek food. Pineapple is a fruit and don't get me started on fruit on pizza.

8:38 pm

crosshair

actually,even though i do not normally care for pineapple,once in a while i find it nice on a pineapple,smoked ham and bacon pizza

8:39 pm

LuwandaHL

Hungry, thanks to fellow babblers's chat. :)

8:39 pm

crosshair

maybe some sun dried tomatos

8:41 pm

penquis

could i please get clues for the two in 8 words?....driving me crazy!

8:41 pm

LuwandaHL

I'm tampted to eat the 2nd half of my leftover shrimp poboy from lunch. Went to Papa Roux, my favorite hole-in-the-wall Cajun restaruant.

8:41 pm

LuwandaHL

tempted

8:42 pm

crosshair

have to ask you americans..what exactly is a poboy??

8:42 pm

MollyL

I wish we had a good Cajun restaurant around here.

8:42 pm

LuwandaHL

don't have the penquis

8:42 pm

LuwandaHL

them

8:42 pm

Nef

sorry, pen. I don't have them and haven't listed (but am now looking for them

8:43 pm

MollyL

A Po Boy is a sub sandwich, made with good French bread. Usually has seafood or good sausage on it.

8:44 pm

penquis

found the first one

8:45 pm

LuwandaHL

It's been in the national news lately. He hired a young man who was walking in frigid weather to a job inteview miles away and stopped to ask directions. Great guy. The place is crazy busy now.

8:46 pm

crosshair

ahh a submarine samich? a gyro?

8:46 pm

MollyL

Yeah, a sub, but with a Louisana flair.

8:46 pm

MollyL

Not a gyro though.

8:47 pm

crosshair

ahh,ok,so a sub with hot stuff poured onto it

8:47 pm

penquis

usually it has fried seafood...like shrimp or oysters

8:47 pm

crosshair

og,got it:)

8:47 pm

MollyL

Gyros are on pi4 bread.

8:47 pm

LuwandaHL

lava mayonaise sauce with slaw added

8:47 pm

crosshair

ok,so not pita pockets

8:48 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for ri8-50? Thanks

8:48 pm

Nef

crossy, you said a Word! ;-)

8:49 pm

pippingeek

okay, pizza ordered

8:49 pm

LuwandaHL

thanks crossy

8:49 pm

Nef

pasta, peach

8:49 pm

MollyL

lava sauce = spicy mayonnaise

8:50 pm

gapeach

Thanks much, Nef and Molly.

8:50 pm

crosshair

my bad..off to the pb i go

8:51 pm

crosshair

i have never been a fan of super hot sauces,spices..all it does for me is to mask the flavour of the food

8:51 pm

pippingeek

have i mentioned how much i hate re words?

8:52 pm

LuwandaHL

Papa Roux's has just a touch of spice unless you ask for more heat

8:52 pm

Nef

there are fresh baked (well, ea7 today, that is) cookies and Baileys and even some dark choclits in there, cross (I restocked when I left)

8:52 pm

crosshair

crossy hates vowel words

8:52 pm

pippingeek

you mean like all words containing vowels? ;)

8:52 pm

crosshair

i will have a cookie,but crossy likes salty snax vs sweet snax

8:52 pm

Nef

(opposate of later, cross)

8:53 pm

crosshair

i mean all words that start with a vowel

8:53 pm

Nef

DH made craisin oatmeal cookies today while I was getting a haircut.

8:53 pm

pippingeek

i like to combine the salty and sweet

8:53 pm

MollyL

One thing I love about the good ole USA is the diversity of ethnic food we have here. Not the same old meat and potatoes everywhere you go.

8:54 pm

pippingeek

got salt water taffy today that is sea salt and caramel - my favorite!

8:54 pm

pippingeek

okay, down to 20, i can do this!

8:54 pm

crosshair

though i do love that cajun snack mix with the sweet and salty bugler corn mix

8:55 pm

stidgmere

You are so right, Molly. I was trying to think of an "American" dish today and decided meat balls and gravy with potatoes. Anyone have a different idea?

8:55 pm

pippingeek

ever had zapp's potato chips in their voodoo flavor? it is amazing

8:55 pm

crosshair

roast beef,with mashed tatties and mashed carrots and turnip

8:55 pm

MollyL

Those Zapps chips are goooood Pip.

8:56 pm

crosshair

i of course would add yorkie pudds

8:56 pm

Nef

A Minnesota dish is "Hot Dish!"

8:56 pm

stidgmere

I agree crossy. I do love Yorkshire pudding.

8:56 pm

stidgmere

Hot dish?

8:56 pm

Nef

(that's what we call all casseroles)

8:56 pm

LuwandaHL

spretz

8:57 pm

crosshair

i make a killer yorkie pudding.just like my da taught me

8:57 pm

crosshair

"secret is to preheat the pans and to use bacon fat

8:58 pm

Nef

Ta 5/10 Tot Hot Dish; mac and cheese hot dish, etc.

8:58 pm

stidgmere

Oh, yes casseroles. I don't make many actual casseroles but I had a friend from Wisconsin who made them regularly.

8:58 pm

MollyL

Of course, that would be a British meal. All American? I think we corner the market on barbecue anything, hush puppies and any fresh vegetable.

8:58 pm

pippingeek

i prefer duck fat, it is so great for everything

8:58 pm

crosshair

lol,you americans will deep fry anything

8:58 pm

pippingeek

molly, how about some classic sould food?

8:58 pm

stidgmere

But who has duck fat?

8:58 pm

MollyL

British meal meaning the roast beef, potatoes and Yorkshire.

8:58 pm

pippingeek

green bean casserole, barbecue, collard greens

8:59 pm

crosshair

what i would love to try is a real authentic down south seafood boil

8:59 pm

MollyL

Yes Pip, anything soul food.

8:59 pm

Nef

Lutefiske?

8:59 pm

Shirlockc

tr8?

8:59 pm

MollyL

Be careful. Once you eat seafood caught in the Gulf, you will be ruined for life. : D

8:59 pm

pippingeek

i have duck fat! i got it from roasting a duck, but you can also buy it rendered and not in pints

9:00 pm

stidgmere

My grandmother made such nice green beans with onion and ham pieces.

9:00 pm

stidgmere

Oh. Thanks pippin.

9:00 pm

crosshair

we do not cook duck.i find duck and goose too oily

9:00 pm

MollyL

Nef! Lutefiske is Norwegian. Do you have Krum Kakes for dessert with that?

9:00 pm

Nef

sorry Shirloc, looking for it now

9:00 pm

pippingeek

my mom makes the best krumkake

9:01 pm

MollyL

I agree about duck and goose. I don't like my meat swimming in grease.

9:01 pm

pippingeek

if you cook the bird slowly you render the fat out of it and then it's not in the meat

9:02 pm

Nef

Actually, Lutefiske is both Norwegian and Swedish; The Swedish form is with a white gravy whereas the Norwegian is a butter oily type. And yes, we make Krumm akkes too

9:02 pm

MollyL

tr8...three prefix + most of camping dwelling + two letter plural

9:02 pm

Nef

Krumkakas

9:03 pm

MollyL

Nef, I will take cod fresh and fried in a pan, but that pickled stuff is not for me. : D

9:04 pm

Nef

don't worry, Molly, I don't eat the Lutefiske. That was DH's ethnic food, not mine.

9:05 pm

MollyL

I'm not much on the Norwegian stuff. Although I do make a soup that is a variation on lobskaus.

9:05 pm

crosshair

i can make you all a nice shore lunch if you want fish..fresh caught pickerell,with a light spiced flour coating cooked in butter with diced mini red taters and some steam corn done in foil with a dab of butter and herbs in the pouch

9:07 pm

MollyL

Never had pickerell, but fresh flounder, stuffed with shrimp is pretty good.

9:07 pm

MollyL

Never had pickerell, but fresh flounder, stuffed with shrimp is pretty good.

9:07 pm

Nef

When I was in high school I worked in the local nursing home as an aide. I walked to work and there was a bridge about 3 blocks from the nursing home. Crossing that bridge I'd get hit in the face with that smell of the Norwegian Lutefiske. I was surprised that DH's Grandmother made it; but there wasn't an odor to it

9:07 pm

crosshair

flounder is nice:))

9:08 pm

MollyL

Sorry for the double double post post.

9:08 pm

crosshair

pickerall= walleye a nice game fish

9:08 pm

Nef

is Pickerel the same as what we call Northern Pike?

9:08 pm

crosshair

no,nef,you call it walleye

9:08 pm

pippingeek

can i get a clue on the tr8?

9:09 pm

pippingeek

i know it just got clued but i didn't get it

9:09 pm

stidgmere

Goodnight all.

9:10 pm

crosshair

gn stidmere

9:10 pm

Nef

tri + end of the camping dwelling word +vowel +pl letter

9:10 pm

MollyL

tr + vowel + a camping dwelling is a t*** + two letter plural

9:10 pm

pippingeek

nm, found it

9:10 pm

pippingeek

word lists are helpful when you have limited time!

9:10 pm

Nef

good night stidg

9:10 pm

crosshair

pike is a much longer lean body type fish with a lot of tiny bones

9:10 pm

MollyL

See Nef, all that typing and she pulled a Peri.

9:11 pm

crosshair

i have no patience to prepare pike,but my godmother is first nation and makes the most amazing battered pike cakes

9:12 pm

crosshair

she will spend hours picking bones

9:12 pm

Nef

Okay, crossy. I was reading a MN history book and the pioneers came to MN they caught lots of pickerel; so I was trying to figure out what it was.

9:13 pm

Nef

My Uncle who raised me would go fishing and he'd throw the northerns out and only keep walleyes.

9:13 pm

crosshair

pickerell is a lovely game fish.a bit "gamey for most,if tupela(sp) is your speed then do not bother

9:14 pm

crosshair

yes,he would toss northerns as they are a ton of work,pickerells9walleyes) are best

9:15 pm

pippingeek

one left, the fi10

9:15 pm

pippingeek

i suspect it's a mouthful

9:15 pm

Nef

(we grew up eating lots of walleyes; it was my AUnts' favorite food. Sh always ordered walleye whenever she ate out)

9:16 pm

pippingeek

ugh, and it was such an easy one, what an anticlimax

9:16 pm

Nef

pipping, it's a type of water treatment (related to the fi9)

smores

I thought I was "auto corrected" smores comes out as either snores or smokes :)

9:22 pm

9:22 pm

Trifioso

big news, molly...girls are leaving tomorrow for vacation week with their dad....the first time they are actually GOING somewhere (florida)

9:23 pm

Nef

Trifi, where is that staircase on your icon? I love it!

9:23 pm

Trifioso

I don't know, nef...I think I swiped it off the "beautiful design" site. Isn't it great??? someday

9:23 pm

MollyL

Well what do you know, he is actually breaking the bank to take them on a trip? : D

9:24 pm

pippingeek

okay kids, pizza is here, time to eat and study!

9:24 pm

Trifioso

Bye pippin...enjoy :)

9:24 pm

Nef

enjoy, pipping!

9:25 pm

Trifioso

its a good thing. We definitely need a break from each other

9:25 pm

MollyL

Oh (she said, dripping with sarcasm) what happy family times that will evoke.

9:26 pm

MollyL

Yes Ru, or that cartoon site we are not allowed to mention.

9:26 pm

Trifioso

not so much, molly - they are staying in an over 55 gated community, no where near a beach. Fun for teenage girls!

9:27 pm

MollyL

Which is why my comment was dripping with sarcasm.

9:27 pm

Trifioso

i know, I know....hey, I told them to be grateful and happy he is taking them SOMEWHERE

9:27 pm

Nef

Trifi, this may be very good for them. The girls may find that they have it pretty nice with you.

9:28 pm

MollyL

Oh how Irish of you. Ma: You girls just be happy he is taking you somewhere. Even it it is too Seniorville USA.

9:29 pm

MollyL

Will they be playing golf? Bingo? Shuffleboard?

9:29 pm

Trifioso

hahaha molly, and thanks nef. I agree. I do want them to have fun though - it's their vacation too!

9:29 pm

Trifioso

and I get to play house with my beau, at least a little. what's not to love?

9:30 pm

Nef

how long will they be gone, Trifi?

9:30 pm

Trifioso

10 days

9:30 pm

MollyL

AHA! Naughty times for Mom while the girls are away. No wonder she's so "happy".

9:31 pm

Nef

quite long enough for them to get a good taste of that.

9:31 pm

Trifioso

of course I made myself a to do list that the king of egypt couldnt complete, even with 10000 hebrew slaves

9:31 pm

Trifioso

indeed

9:31 pm

Trifioso

molly, you crack me up...

9:32 pm

MollyL

Sorry, but I am laughing my ass off. I know what is going to get "done" while they are gone. And it's nothing on that list.

LOL! Did you write down (on your list) 1 day to just SIT???

9:33 pm

Trifioso

molly, I won't be seeing him everyday, so things WILL get done! Plus I have to work like CRAZY, being it's vacation week.

9:33 pm

Trifioso

and no, nef, no just sitting. This is a good chance for me to chuck all KINDS of stuff. Cat's away, mouse playing, as it were

9:34 pm

Trifioso

goodwill is about to have a VERY good week

9:34 pm

penquis

can i get a clue for the pi 10 word please?

9:35 pm

MollyL

Ten days...no kids...the house to yourself with the object of your lust... and you are going to, um, do chores? There needs to be some sort of intervention here.

9:35 pm

Nef

I really think it's important to have 1 day to yourself, Trifi. If chucking stuff is what you want to do; that's fine; but don't forget to find some time to rest too.

9:35 pm

rururocks

9:36 pm

MollyL

Oh and (dripping with sarcasm again) how happy the "children" will be when they come home and find all their stuff given away. : D

true, but now that it is April and well past Tom's bday it's time to warm up. I have baby artichokes already in the garden, and lettuces and such. Need to have some extended dry weather so I can start working the soil a little!

10:03 pm

pida 1

How's your house rebuild coming along, stid? Hope your recovery wasn't too bad.....

10:04 pm

stidmama

no rebuilding yet, and the quote that came back seems really low... I need to SEE the numbers and how the calculations were made before I decide what to do next. Still have to find out when and how to take the old one down.

10:04 pm

stidmama

10:04 pm

10:06 pm

Minveryork

Hi stidmama! How are you doing? How was your week

10:07 pm

flosey

ah, so totally new - will be lovely when completed

10:07 pm

stidmama

Min, I am so happy I had a call to sub (emergency for one of the teacher I could step in at any time...) today! Got 3 hours in, and that pays for the gas to get there.

10:07 pm

stidmama

Maybe flosey... we'll see. :-)

10:08 pm

stidmama

I was hoping to have enough for a "stick built" but we might have to replace with another modular unit.

10:08 pm

pida 1

Min, I wish I had looked at your bio for clues. It might not have taken me so long to finish.

10:08 pm

flosey

at least you won't have to put up with the smell of smoke on damp days

10:09 pm

stidmama

yes, nor mildew... everything is so soggy in what's left of the house now... we are going to try one more time tomorrow to rescue anything that is left worth saving.

10:11 pm
