one of the easiest and best recipes I have tried

dee, in yourrecipe youmentioned bisquick, what is it?
1:34 am
VolleymomDee
It is a prepackaged biscuit mix... has everything but the milk or water in a box... can be used for biscuits, waffles, pancakes, shortcakes
1:34 am
VolleymomDee
hang on... let me see if I can google the ingredients
1:35 am
grannyrose
hmmmm, wonder if we have something similar over here. could you email the recipe for those biscuits please? they sound really seriously yummy
1:37 am
VolleymomDee
A General Mills product that is combination of flour, salt and a leavening agent and was created to be a short-cut product for making biscuits. Bisquick is also used for making coffee cake, dumplings and pancakes.
Here is what to use to make your own: Ingredients
1 cup flour,
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon shortening
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse on/off until well blended. Use as you would any recipe that calls for Biscuickâ„¢ brand Store in a cool dry location.

Rose, you do know that the US biscuit is kinda like a savoury scone but lighter - nothing at all like a biscuit?

Glantarell
that's ifine :-)
1:40 am
Glantarell
just thought you might have a bit of a surprise, otherwise!
1:41 am
grannyrose
dee, i'm guessing that's plain flour, right? i mean you wouldn 't add baking powder to self-raising flour, would you?
1:43 am
Glantarell
Hi Lizlin

1:48 am
VolleymomDee
Are you close?
1:48 am
Lizlin
No - I'd never done any exercise before - now go to the gym 3 x a week and walk on the beach as often as possible - or somewhere else if the weather's crap!
1:51 am
grannyrose
how long's a piece of string, dee? no where near. *shrug* now the weather has cooled down some, i'm gonna get on his case.
1:51 am
VolleymomDee
My hubby started some work in the laundry room, so I can commiserate and empathize!
1:54 am
grannyrose
problem is, once we start we have to move mother mac out until it's finished.
1:55 am
VolleymomDee
Because of the dust?
1:58 am
grannyrose
that...and having no where to prepare her meals....plus to exit the house, she walks through the kitchen area.
1:59 am
VolleymomDee
Aww, that makes sense. What all are you doing in the kitchen?
2:02 am
grannyrose
everything, the whole lot is to be gutted. then all new cupboards, benchtops, cooktop, oven sink, larder. can't wait.
2:02 am
grannyrose
we are removing a wall to create a larger area, will have the washing machine and dryer under a benchtop, european style.
2:03 am
VolleymomDee
How absolutely wonderful! You'll have to email me a before and after photo.
2:03 am
grannyrose
also, moving the doorway over closer to the wall, so that there will be an unobstructed passage down to mother macs rooms for when the ambo's are here
2:04 am
VolleymomDee
That is really smart to do that.
2:05 am
grannyrose
we have already bought everything,except the cupboards and larder. i want only drawers in the kitchen, so i can access the very back of the bottom cupboards.
2:06 am
VolleymomDee
I have several like that in this kitchen, and I really love them.
2:07 am
VolleymomDee
I especially like them for my pans.
2:07 am
grannyrose
i'm trying to keep as much to the original era of the house, with taps etc, and am keeping the old tilux on the walls.
2:09 am
grannyrose
tilux is plaster sheeting, already embossed as if it is tiles, plan to make it look like the original by painting in the grooves with white, to mimic grouting.
2:09 am
VolleymomDee
That will fit perfectly with the rest of the house.
2:10 am
grannyrose
sure hope so....am ever so sorry that we didn't do before and after photos of the bathroom. but will definitely do so for the rest of the house.
2:13 am
VolleymomDee
I was always awful at taking photos in the other house. Once we moved, I regretted it. I'm glad you thought of it now.
2:13 am
VolleymomDee
Well, I need to get going.... I hope you have a great day!
2:14 am
grannyrose
thanx, hun. hope you are able to sleep well, and awake refreshed

5:10 am
sprite
oh sweetie, I am so glad! That is certainly good news. Not the ankle, though. Darn. You home again, with leg up?
5:11 am
grannyrose
nah, still working until x-rays confirm it, and a course of action is decided. just like the last time...relatively pain-free, until i sit down for an extended period of time...then the spasms start.
5:12 am

(((hugs rose close)))
You are definitely ready for a long stretch of good health, aren't you!
5:13 am
grannyrose
it seems to be just under the old suture line, from my triple fusion. am hoping desperately that the staples and screws have held.
5:13 am
sprite
indeed... next time they should secure it all with duct tape.
5:14 am
grannyrose
sprite, it will have to force my son and his wife into a decision about the house. they MUST decide to buy or move out, so i can either sell or rent it out.
5:15 am
grannyrose
lolol....your faith in duct tape is amazing.
5:15 am
sprite
yep. No more excuses. Time to decide.
5:15 am

:D As long as you apply enough of it, yes.

grannyrose
sprite, wind blowing? it always makes it colder...
5:23 am
sprite
no, just the temperature... way lower than they promised us. So cold!
But good news: I finally got my 'wake-up light', to battle the winter depression... started 2 days ago, and already was much more awake this morning. I even dusted half the living room before 9!
5:24 am
grannyrose
yay, spritey. you rock, hun
5:25 am
sprite
:) Am very happy wiht it. Am gonna do some laundry in a bit, and I will probably dust the other half of the room this afternoon.
5:26 am
grannyrose
for goodness sake, sprite. don't go overboard....take it slowly, sweetie. small steps, hun.
5:27 am
sprite
*sigh* you are right, of course. But it is so NICE to feel like wanting to do stuff, in stead of that hopeless feeling of not being up to it.

great, Mimi, I hope it is good news. Will check email soon.
5:30 am

lady, how are you, and how have youi been?
5:31 am
grannyrose
sprite, i do so want to see you buzzing everywhere....and you will dear. but like my return to work, take it gradually, never expending yourself too much, gradually build up your resilience....i love you, so much. it will break my heart to see you going backwards.
5:32 am
MimiCat
Granny, I believe our sprite is right on track and forging straight ahead....don't worry.
5:32 am
sprite
Rose, you are such a darling. Thanks, hun. I will really really think about your words and take them to heart. I will take it slow. Building up, indeed.
5:33 am
grannyrose
*lovingly hugs spritey*
5:33 am
sprite
thanks for the vote of confidence, Mimi :)
Yes, I am on the right track. But I must remember not to overdo things which would set me back.
5:34 am

Many of us need that reminder, sprite...me included, as you know.

5:36 am

mimi, i am not holding spritey back...but from my own recent experience....i realise that a gradual return to daily tasks is the ONLY way to achieve a 'normal' life.
5:36 am
sprite
wooot lady! Happy birthday and *hugs*
5:37 am
herinfernallady
NOt my birthday.
5:37 am
MimiCat
Oh, I know, rose...didn't mean to convey that I felt you were holding her back...just trying to reassure.
5:37 am
sprite
no, you are not holding me back at all, rose, I could use that reminder... was already planning my day full of chores and I shouldn't. I will babble, lunch and then I will see if I can do something more.
5:37 am
sprite
oh sorry, lady, lol. I hope you had fun, then, anyway.
5:37 am
herinfernallady
Sprite take 15 min a day. See Flylady.net really pulled me out of funk
5:38 am

it is fine, Mimi, thanks. Am happy to have your vote of confidence as well.
5:38 am
sprite
will check it out, thanks lady
5:39 am
grannyrose
okay, mimi. sprite sometimes gets carried away, just as i did. i nearly destroyed all that my surgery hoped to achieve by a zealous desire to return to my 'normal' life.
5:39 am
sprite
oh, looks cool! Am gonna do that later on, sounds like fun.
5:39 am
herinfernallady

5:40 am

that is exactly it, rose. That yearning to just get past it, to be back to normal. And no way we are gonna get there by overdoing stuff... but it is hard not to try anyway
5:40 am
herinfernallady
Honestly the first day all I did was put a bra on. And some days that is all I can do. That and laundry
5:40 am
grannyrose
hey herin...which movie yesterday? himself and i saw oblivion.
5:40 am
sprite
I found it, lady, have it open on a tab in my browser. Will read up and check out later :)

too true, lady. I am not even dressed yet. But I DID dust half the livingroom.

maybe, when I have a little money again, I will treat myself to a very cozy jogging suit. Something easily slipped on and still suitable for going outdoors or having people over.
5:43 am

oh! Did you like it, lady? Was it any good?
5:44 am
MimiCat
Pertinent to our discussion, I have a phantom: lumbar.
5:44 am
herinfernallady
Also I have a social question. Is it good manners to attend a hens/bucks if you are a guest at the wedding and have answered yes to attending
5:45 am
grannyrose
of course, herin. all good.
5:45 am
sprite
lol Mimi... good one!
5:45 am
herinfernallady
Have seen it before though
5:45 am
sprite
I would think so, lady? If you say you will come and you do come, sounds like good manners to me.
5:46 am
grannyrose
herin, have you never seen 'never ending story' before?
5:46 am
herinfernallady
I have seen it before on TV not at the cinemas

ruby, where are my photos of rafaella and ruffie.....????
5:47 am
herinfernallady
My sister is coming to town on the weekend so I am going to see her Sat and then sat night party
5:47 am
rubyfoo
Herin" it ha been ages!!
5:48 am
sprite
am pretty good, ruby :) Less tired and more active. Very nice feeling.
5:48 am
rubyfoo
Raffie drools so much when she drinks, that she looks like the bearded lady in the circus, totally black down to the fllor. And this is a beige dog. She is still cute, but looks rather monstrous ATM
5:49 am
herinfernallady
I just think if the Bride and Groom are paying for your butt at the wedding you would think it would be good manners to attend the wedding
5:49 am
herinfernallady
bugger hens/bucks
5:49 am
sprite
so... lady, are you wondering if you can cancel the hen'bucks party in favor of spending time with your sister?
5:49 am
grannyrose
don't care. don't mind. SEND PICS!!!!!
5:49 am
sprite
err yes, indeed. I'd certainly say so.
5:49 am
MimiCat
Ruby, are they getting along with each other? Has Raffie adjusted well?
5:50 am
sprite
as long as she is sweet, ruby
5:50 am
herinfernallady
No. That was the weekend gone this is next weekend
5:50 am
grannyrose
herin, just do what it seems right by you, hun
5:50 am
sprite
in that case, yes, lady. Invited, accepted, paid for... means showing up.
5:51 am
herinfernallady
Ok you have gotten confused. I am saying if there is an invite to you to attend a hens night as you are going to be a guest at the upcoming wedding isn't it good manners to attend the hens even if it isn't your thing
5:51 am
rubyfoo
she is an absolute Darling. Licks anything she can reach, eats perfectly and, most important, gets along with Rufie. They are adorable together. He brings her toys and shares food.
5:52 am
rubyfoo
I'm not sure if Herin knows that I lost my Ruby in February and Rafaella is the "replacement" puppy
5:53 am
MimiCat
Wow, ruby, that is great! Doesn't always go so well so you lucked out. I'm sure you had a lot to do with it, though...you're so sensitive to their needs.
5:53 am
rubyfoo
Rufie was jealous at first, but not for long
5:53 am
sprite
hmmm not sure, lady. I would say yes, that would be good manners. But doing something you really don't like shouldn't be necessary... if you hate it, don't go and explain to the bride/groom
5:54 am
grannyrose
herin...as i said....whatever it feels right to YOU. most of us go to the hen's/buck's night AND the wedding. but knowing you...i suggest the wedding only. it will not reflect on you at all.
5:54 am
sprite
awwww Rufie is the sweetest. So funny how he is now the mature dog.
5:54 am
MimiCat
Going to leave for now...bbl. Bye and hugs all around.
5:54 am

bye Mimi, see you in email :)
5:55 am

5:55 am

night mimi...sleep well and awake refreshed, hun
5:55 am
rubyfoo
what happened to you herin that you were so down?
5:55 am
herinfernallady
The weekend was awesome the bucks/hens was a joint affair as the couple getting married has too many male and female people as friends to split a seperate affair
5:56 am
grannyrose
lol, herin...it sounds like it was a blast.....
5:57 am

hmmmm, and how did himself behave?

However Leo has a new girlfriend who is very nice, intelligent, and a successful businesswoman - she is also going to college at night, pre-med, wants to be an ob-gyn in the Navy

We get the week off in February and then this week in April. I do prefer it when it starts right after Easter, but it was soooo early this year.
8:34 am

when we k lived in the east, the kids got that much needed Feb break.
8:34 am

please may i have a different clue for the A in the 5th column

The local ski resorts depend on the Feb break for much business. The last ski place closed last evening.
8:35 am
Scrabbler
I don't have it, Jenny

Our Spring break is built around Easter, as so many families travel that weekend.

What about the O in the 54th column - I just need those two for nbt and nbs

A few local schools have NO Feb break but 2 wks around Easter.

Mummy, if your still here the answer is yes for an android tablet as this is what I'm using now
9:00 am

Nice to know, witchy. I would choose Android OS over iOS.
9:03 am
witchy
Can't use licketys expert though its only windows
9:08 am
flosey
witchy, I copied Lickety's clues and pasted it into my bio, can you copy and paste to a doc and use it that way? at least you'd have the stats.
9:09 am
flosey
just thought I'd try it and it did cut/paste
9:12 am
witchy
Thanks flosey i still can use the clues page but on a separate tab not all on the same page as expert does.
9:13 am
flosey
ah, ok, I also had to do that for a few days, but was able to contact Lickety and get it back on here
9:18 am
flosey
and good morning everyone, up too early here
9:20 am

hello flosey
9:20 am
flosey
hi ruby, how are you doing? don't often see you anymore
9:22 am
rubyfoo
I think we are on at different times, flosey
9:23 am
rubyfoo
right now I am escaping from my increasingly nasty husband
9:23 am
flosey
yes, I start at 10 pm (flip) and during the day it's hit/miss times
9:23 am
rubyfoo
I made him his martini but he was just rarin' for an argument, so I let him talk to my back
9:23 am
flosey
oh dear, glad you have this escape
9:24 am
rubyfoo
yes, my studio is MINE
9:25 am
rubyfoo
he is becomingeirder and bored and can't really carry on a conversation with me (maybe because he doesn't want to) any more
9:26 am
rubyfoo
he wanders around the house like a lost soul
9:26 am
flosey
so sorry, ruby, that is not good for either of you
9:26 am
rubyfoo
I'm OK but feel very sorry for him. And, of course, it is unpleasant when he says nasty things
9:27 am
flosey
of course, negative is not good
9:27 am
Scrabbler
Do you think it is depression only or is dementia an issue?
9:27 am
rubyfoo
Happily, my son is coming to visit next week for a few days and then my friend from Miami for 11 days and then, in June, husband's daughter for 10. And spring is finally here, so there is lots to do in the garden
9:27 am
flosey
glad you have the babble group to chat with
9:28 am
Scrabbler
Excellent things to look forward to, Ruby
9:29 am
rubyfoo
scrabs" he's almost 88, so whatever its name, its age-related. On Saturday, he"lost" the car and I had to have a friend drive me to where he was and I found it immediately, right where he said he had parked it.
9:29 am
rubyfoo
Babble saves me very often. It is supportive and accepting.
9:29 am
Scrabbler
He should not be driving.
9:30 am
rubyfoo
I know that, but haven't the heart to take away his autonomy. He is OK when he goes to his 2 or 3 usual places. If I stop him from driving, I think it will finish him.
9:31 am
rubyfoo
I only go with him as far as the next village
9:31 am
flosey
wow, here, when we reach 80, we have to have a medical exam before our drivers license can be renewed - if you fail that test, then there are 2 more options
9:32 am
rubyfoo
His driving is surprisingly good, he just doesn't know where he is going. I imagine that one of these days, he won't come back --THEN I'll take away his keys
9:32 am
hego
If you ever find him. Hi All.
9:32 am
rubyfoo
There is no testing here after you get your license
9:32 am
flosey
but it would be better if someone else did that, so he won't blame you
9:33 am
rubyfoo
exactly, Flosey, he is already very angry with me most of the time
9:34 am
rubyfoo
It's crazy that they don't re-test older drivers here
9:34 am
flosey
and hugs back hego
9:35 am

100 words and must go and make dinner for dogs and Mr. Nasty
10:07 am
MollyL
Ruby, in all sincerity, I just wish you didn't feel the need to put with someone who treats you so badly. You deserve better than that.
10:08 am
hurshy
are there any MY words?
10:08 am
rubyfoo
I'm afraid I haven't a choice, molly. He is awful, but I bought in and can't exactly leave him out with the trash
10:08 am
bichon
hi folks, hurshy, Molly, ruby Jee
10:08 am
rubyfoo
Happily, I have my so and my friends
10:08 am
flosey
yes ruby, 2 my6/27 and 7/40
10:09 am
flosey
sorry, ruby, it was hurshy asking
10:09 am
rubyfoo
{{bichon}}
10:09 am
hurshy
ty flosey
10:09 am
bichon
Is your hubby cranky again?
10:10 am
rubyfoo
he's horrible, bichon
10:10 am
mael
I'm sorry ruby, that sounds awful
10:11 am
bichon
stop talking to him, ignore him
10:11 am
rubyfoo
nothing I can do; when he was 60, who would have thought it
10:11 am
hurshy
well i really admire you for not abandoning him despite how hard it is
10:12 am
bichon
but what about ruby's well being?
10:12 am
rubyfoo
I'm really OK and looking forward to visitors. I just need to keep him fed and watered
10:12 am
rubyfoo
He bought me this house and here i am staying
10:13 am
rubyfoo
I couldn't possibly anbandon an 87 year old man
10:13 am
flosey
lol ruby - just like a house plant but without the reward of lovely blooms
10:13 am
mael
I hope things improve, Ruby, if you are determined to stay
10:13 am
rubyfoo
klol, flosey
10:13 am
rubyfoo
I don't really have a choice
10:14 am
mael
my father was an unrepentant bastard to my mother and it was awful to watch her suffer through it
10:14 am
bichon
everyone has a choice ruby
10:14 am
mael
I wish you a lot of strength
10:14 am
rubyfoo
I don'tfeel so much suffering, fortunately. I guess this is the price I paid.
10:14 am
bichon
no matter how bad it would be for you and for him, you do have a choice
10:15 am
hurshy
remind me, is he horrible like, through his mind going and he can't help it, kind of thing, or is he mentally competent?
10:15 am
rubyfoo
If he ever gets violent, that will be another story. For the moment, I can escape and have my own space
10:16 am
MollyL
Ruby, emotional abuse is just as debilitating as physical abuse.
10:16 am
rubyfoo
I know, Molly, but I can't put him out on the curb
10:16 am
bichon
Excuse me for interrupting, but I love your bluebirds Molly
10:17 am
bichon
But you can leave
10:17 am
rubyfoo
With his lack of communication skills in French, he couldn't manage anyplace else
10:17 am
rubyfoo
Ther is no other place for e, Bichon, with my dogs and my mature garden.
10:17 am
MollyL
I know that is how you feel Ruby. I think a better option is to push VERY hard for different meds for him. No matter what the doctor thinks.
10:18 am
bichon
You can't put your dogs and your plants above your emotional needs
10:18 am
hurshy
ruby is he mentally competent, or dementia is what causes him to be awful?
10:18 am
rubyfoo
His doctor thought he should have anti-depressants, but i can't figure out how to administer them
10:18 am
mael
you mention your son and your friends, I am sure they are aching for you. Is there any help you can get with in home aid, at least?
10:19 am
MollyL
Tell him they are vitamins. : D
10:19 am
bichon
You mean he won't take the anti-depressant ruby?
10:19 am
rubyfoo
that's a good question,hurshy, but it's hrd to tell. Whene were just courting and he would get nasty, my father used to call it "The Friday night fights" hahah- ruefully
10:19 am
mixi6
my husband takes anti-depressants and they are WONDERFUL.
10:20 am
hurshy
but, he does have dementia?
10:20 am
mael
I know my aunt (in Italy) has a nurse come in every day to help her take care of her emotionally abusive and depressed elderly husband. The nurse is also the one who takes him to the clinic when he needs his meds adjusted
10:20 am
rubyfoo
which one does he take?
10:20 am
MollyL
And what Bich said. Your dogs and your garden are not as important as your happiness.
10:21 am
mael
it seems to help my uncle comply, if there is an outside authority figure telling him he needs to take his meds
10:21 am
rubyfoo
I don't know the difference between Altzheirmers, old age and dementia. He certainly has some of them
10:21 am
mixi6
my hubby takes efexor and wellbutrin.
10:21 am
rubyfoo
Unfortunately, he charms his doctor who is a Fr macho guy who doesn't really listen to me.
10:21 am
mael
it can be a nasty combination of all three, unfortunately
10:22 am
bichon
hi Scrabs, you came at a good time. ruby needs help
10:22 am
Scrabbler
My little 4 yr old patient is now cancer-free! I just gave her a big hug.
10:22 am
bichon
That's great Scrabs
10:22 am
rubyfoo
that is great news, scrabs
10:22 am
bichon
I take Cymbalta and it's wonderful for me!
10:22 am
mael
that's great news, scrabs
10:22 am
mixi6
wonderful scrabbler
10:22 am
hurshy
nice scrabs!
10:23 am
Scrabbler
Ruby, I would use the generic term of dementia, doesn't matter whether you call is Alzheimer dementia. But depression in the elderly can mimic dementia too.
10:23 am
rubyfoo
I will look up alla those drugs online and try to find something I can put in his food
10:23 am
Scrabbler
This little girl had a grim prognosis at diagnosis in July 2010--very rare vaginal cancer.
10:24 am
bichon
what!! that's awful. Hope they didn't have to do surgery
10:24 am
Scrabbler
Any SSRI should be tried--fluoxetine, sertraline...
10:24 am
rubyfoo
I din't knowsuch a cancer existed! Bravo for y our success in treating her, scrabs
10:24 am
Scrabbler
Radiation treatment saved her uterus, vagina and rectum from being removed. She is so sweet and has been through hell.
10:25 am
bichon
Glad it was found in time Scrabs
10:25 am
mael
that is awful, scrabs. I am very, very glad she is recovering.
10:25 am
rubyfoo
That makes me grateful for every day! My problems are very small compared to that
10:26 am
hurshy
could i get help with the E and the U?
10:26 am
MollyL
I don't think it matters what you call it. Back in the day it was "hardening of the arteries". The problems lie in the result of the behavior it produces.
10:26 am
rubyfoo
ur7/44 an element
10:27 am
bichon
ur 7/44, sounds like an element
10:27 am
hurshy
and bichon
10:27 am
rubyfoo
snap, bichon
10:27 am
bichon
ey 4/8, birds nest
10:27 am
bichon
snap right back at ya
10:27 am
MollyL
And Ruby, you should not put up with a doctor who doesn't listen to YOU, or have to sneak meds into his food.
10:27 am
hurshy
ah that is a weird alt sp of that ey, thanks!
10:27 am
flosey
FW and off to face the day, bb at flip
10:28 am
flosey
oops, late for flip
10:28 am
rubyfoo
It surely wouldn't be the case in the US, but here, I am glad he has a doctor who makes house calls
10:28 am
rubyfoo
This is a very poor system, even for private patients
10:29 am
rubyfoo
and now, dinner for the sh** head!
10:29 am
mael
you really should push for medication, ruby. If he needs medication and he won't take it, there might be some help you can get from the medical system
10:30 am
rubyfoo
ty mael, but we are not p art of the Fr system
10:31 am
MollyL
<---Loves Ruby. It makes me sad when good people tolerate unacceptable circumstances.
10:48 am
TraderKate
late to the conversation, hi all.
not sure who needs the ssri's... but they cn't be put in food, they must be taken as a whole tablet as they are time-released.
10:54 am
Scrabbler
Prozac comes in liquid.
10:55 am
TraderKate
it does? what do you know...
and good news about your little patient :) you must be so glad!
10:55 am
Scrabbler
I am SO happy about my little one!
10:56 am
TraderKate
i haven't talked to you in ages, how are your fur babies?
10:57 am
Scrabbler
I have 4 cute bunnies that make me smile everyday.
10:57 am
mael
scrabbler, I just today met the bunny that lives in our yard. I'm not used to there being... wildlife hanging out. :)
10:57 am
Scrabbler
My work is done here at the Indian Reservation Health Center, so I am heading out. Enjoy the day, everyone.
10:57 am
Scrabbler
So, cute, mael!
10:58 am
TraderKate
do you still get out canoeing/hiking etc?
10:58 am
TraderKate
bye scrabs :)
10:58 am
Scrabbler
Yes, Kate--and mountain biking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing...I am married to nature.
10:58 am
mael
have a great day scrabs, congrats again to your little patient!
10:58 am
TraderKate
this grid doesn't seem very user-friendly....
10:58 am
Scrabbler
66 left and not seeing anything.
10:59 am
mael
it isn't kate, progress has been verrry slow for me
10:59 am
Scrabbler
Bye, kids!
11:00 am
TraderKate
ttfn scrabs! hi mael :)
i've been looking at this puzzle for 15 minutes and have found exactly 9 words... i hope lickety is up and running...
11:02 am
MollyL
Mael, I often see rabbits, deer and other wildlife out behind my place. I don't consider myself married to nature, but I do find my spirituality there. : )
11:02 am
TraderKate
hi molly :)
11:05 am
TraderKate
coffee will be required, bbs
11:06 am
rururocks
most people find their spirituality at church and not in their backyard :D
11:13 am
TraderKate
hi ruru :)
i derive strength and joy from nature, whether flora, fauna, or scenery. even menacing storm clouds have an awesome beauty.
11:19 am
rururocks
I was making a joke TK.. I'd rather get spirituality from nature than church myself if that means anything.
11:19 am
TraderKate
:)
slow on the uptake here ruru, trying desperately to "wake up" how'd your weekend go?
11:20 am
rururocks
nice.. lots of spring cleaning.. it feels good to have done a lot of the clean up i did.
Got a nice walk in.. etc
11:22 am
TraderKate
the weather just broke here this morning, it's a beautiful day, itching to get my hands dirty... suddenly it is gardening season :) absolutely no desire to clean anything in my place - getting lots of sun while i can hurray for spring!
11:24 am
rururocks
this is one tough grid
11:24 am
TraderKate
the news yesterday waas saying that "sandy" will be retired as a storm name.
11:24 am
rururocks
Sandy is a bad name this year .. that's for sure
11:26 am
TraderKate
tough is an understatement. tired here, but with only 15 words found after about 30 minutes i listed. don't want to be in here all day. didi you get the ur 7/44? it was clued as sounds like an element, but i can't seem to monkey it :(
there were a lot of babblers in sandy's way, plenty of worry about their safety in the chog
11:28 am
rubyfoo
for anyabody who is still around from the earlier discussion, especially Molly, I stood up for myself and go a sincere apology. Maybe things will be a little bit better
11:28 am
rubyfoo
I certainly feel better!
11:30 am
TraderKate
{{{(((ruby)))}}}
came into it late, who was the patient in question that you want to "dose"? if the dr. was anything like a snooty french "waiteur" they look down on everyone... probably not really personal, they all think they're god lol
11:31 am
rubyfoo
hello TK. I was whining about my difficult husband but I used Sprite's system "Talk to my hand, my head is tired" and walked away. He apologized profusely at dinner
11:32 am
rubyfoo
it is so beautiful here now that winter is finally gone!
11:32 am
TraderKate
good! glad it is sorted, it must be awfully difficult for you to have to deal with that day in and day out...
11:32 am
rubyfoo
I don't think he can help his mood swings
11:33 am
TraderKate
has he actuallly got a diagnosis?
11:33 am
rubyfoo
No, but I don't think it would make any difference. He's old, whether it's Alzhemer's or old age, what's the difference.
11:34 am
rubyfoo
He's almost 88 and is in relatively good health. If he c=falls or gets pneudmonia again,that will do him in. For the moment, 'm not thinking about mu6 lol
11:35 am
TraderKate
scrabs mentioned a few things, but i think you were already gone. ssri's can make a huge difference in many elderly patients as far as smoothing out moods.
11:35 am
rubyfoo
sorry for the extra letters and typos; this is a very strange and delicate keyboard and i have the touch of an elephant with fingers
11:36 am
TraderKate
ty for the mu 6/27, mu 7/40 combo :)
11:37 am
TraderKate
don't worry about the typos, we can decipher anything... and i'm the typoi queen ;)
11:37 am
rubyfoo
all in all, I think I am very lucky
11:38 am
TraderKate
we all need to take stock and count our blessings once in a while, so many times we focus on what is bad in our life, that we don't see the rainbows - only the rauin
11:42 am

Good afternoon everyone:)
11:43 am
TraderKate
hi jean :)
11:44 am
MollyL
I'm glad you got an apology Ruby. And whatever works, although I find "talk to the hand" rather dismissive of serious issues.
11:45 am
rururocks
what if you have a hand puppet?
11:45 am
MollyL
Oh well hand puppets are another story (What About Bob)
11:45 am
TraderKate
becky, huck, and tom _________!
11:48 am

And I'm turning chat off now. Too many unasked for clues. I like to find the words on my own.

i typed simony as well
1:00 pm
puglet
Im so terrible with words starting with a vowel!!
1:01 pm
helensgirlkid
I keep thinking - if I could just shove this over there, and . . . Phantoms that take over like that are a BIG nuisance!
1:02 pm
helensgirlkid
I think lots of people have trouble with words that start with vowels. My biggest problem is forgetting to look for them at all!
1:02 pm
TraderKate
i don't like the prefix words... re_, de_, un_ especially
would you like a phantom exorcism helen?
1:05 pm
helensgirlkid
I just got fireworks - the best exorcism for phantoms! I agree about prefixes - my two bugbears are re- and en-
1:06 pm
helensgirlkid
Probably your offer of an exorcism got me the FW - I just needed a word I thought I had tried last night. Thanks, Kate.
1:06 pm

There's THREE dances in the grid today!!!!
1:07 pm

i have 30 minutes before i have to go if anyone wants stats/hints
1:33 pm
welki
good going, kate :)
1:34 pm
welki
we can tag-team - i'm done, too
1:35 pm
TraderKate
ty welki, and congratulations! it was a bit of a stinky grid today, i listed after having found only 15 words (red-faced with shame)
i'll be here for a bit mlonger bichon.
1:35 pm
welki
the tools are there for you to use them - no red-faced shame attached
1:36 pm
bichon
Yes it is stinky. with help I got more than half-way when I listed
1:37 pm
TraderKate
are you in bc welki? i can't remember
...i had to go to more words for a lot of them, i would rather ask for hints than use the word lists - only because i go cross eyed using them... and sometimes you get the coolest clues from babblers :)
1:39 pm
TraderKate
did you see the synchro skating this weekend?
1:40 pm
welki
alberta, kate
1:41 pm
welki
we were watching golf :)
1:43 pm
TraderKate
ah, is the masters still on? someone was watching it on saturday...
1:44 pm
welki
finished yesterday, an aussie won - hard to believe it, but it was suspenseful (i'm not a big fan, but the other half is and even i got into it)
1:44 pm
welki
went into the equivalent of golf overtime - there was a tie at the end of 18
1:44 pm
TraderKate
i watched the results form the liberal leadersip convention last night
1:44 pm
welki
well, a tie at the end of the tournament - cumulative scores
1:45 pm
welki
and what do you think of young mr. trudeau?
1:45 pm
TraderKate
so if there's a tie, what do they do - look at the previous rounds' scores or do they play extra holes?
1:46 pm
welki
they play the 18th hole over again - and if there's still a tie, they go to another hole (would have been the 10th this year, if the winning shot hadn't happened)
1:47 pm
TraderKate
i think justin has big boots to fill, but he seems to be doing a good job of stepping out fr4om behind his dad's shadow. i don't follow politics that closely, but it was interesting to watch the final counts for the first round, 80.1 % is a huge mandate!
1:48 pm
TraderKate
so it's like sudden death o/t in hockey. i wonder how often there is a tie after x# of games...
1:48 pm
welki
time will tell - like you said, daddy's shoes were big and he's going to come under constant attack/criticism because of his lineage, nevermind his politics
1:50 pm
welki
kind of like a kennedy son - could be the savviest politician, but always under scrutiny
1:52 pm
welki
i'm not well educated in politics, after 16 years in canada, still trying to wrap my head around the differences between canada and the u.s. (which i still have problems understanding sometimes, too!)
1:52 pm
mael
they did go to the 10th, welkie. They tied in the first tibreaker hole :)
1:53 pm
welki
ohhh, that's right, mael! it was the 15' putt that put the jacket on scott
1:53 pm
mael
it was pretty exciting, and I normally do not ever watch golf :)
1:53 pm
welki
(kate, there was a tie last year, too - not sure how often it happens. first australian win, though)
1:54 pm
welki
^5 mael - who'd a thunk golf could be riveting? (other than golfers)
1:56 pm
mael
I know! It was a very good match (match? competition? thing?)
1:56 pm
welki
don't quite get why they allow those belly putters - next they'll be shooting the balls through a gift-wrap paper tube into the holes. (although scott did seem to miss a lot of shots with his - but not the money shot!)
1:57 pm
TraderKate
the aussie babblers will be waving the flag with pride today :)
i did see a bit of the last round, and it did seem a nail-biter, but ended up with the political thing - only because it was like watching history happening
1:57 pm
welki
husband says it gives the player more stability, especially the old-timers who might be a little shaky with a regular putter - but i don't know if there's a place for them in pro golfing
1:58 pm
welki
and they should be proud, kate - no small feat, considering the number of games/tournaments the players have to get through to get that far
1:59 pm
TraderKate
well, i must go very soon. i'll leave the babblers that want clues in your capable hands welki, and congrats again on your FW :)
1:59 pm

see you tomorrow, mael :)

3:33 pm
TraderKate
hurray for first times - i havve faith that you will do it :)
3:35 pm
TraderKate
crossy - how did you make out in the ice/snow/sleet/rain storm? i was afraid you were gouing to get mostly ice..
3:37 pm
crosshair
we got 2 inches of ice/sleet mix everyone wisely stayed home that morning and let the road crews do their work and by 3 pm or so all was back to normal
3:39 pm
pippingeek
holy cow, 2 left! yay!
3:39 pm
TraderKate
glad the citiots weren't out in full force, and happy to see you are safe and warm. i think carleecat missed the worst of it as well - more ice toward KW rather than london

3:58 pm
Kazzer99
thoughts go out to all that were there - just seen the breaking news on the BBC
4:07 pm
MollyL
You know, it's sad and scary that someone can not only find out how to build a bomb on the internet, but they can also purchase all the ingredients to make it.
4:09 pm
Kazzer99
that is the scariest thing of all - it must be a night mare for security forces. More so for you than us as you are so much bigger
4:10 pm
Kazzer99
must go to bed up at the crack of tomorrow
4:10 pm
MollyL
Apparently they found two more explosive devices and disarmed them before they blew.
4:38 pm
sciencegeek
clue for am 5/20 please
4:40 pm
MollyL
Bless the good men and women who make up the Boston first responders.
4:41 pm
sciencegeek
do they know who did this bombing? My friend is there - lucky she was finished running and was not near the area
4:41 pm
rubyfoo
OMG, going upstairs to tune in the BBC
4:42 pm
MollyL
It's all still too new for any definitive news to be available.
4:43 pm
MollyL
I did hear something about cell phone service being shut down to prevent remote triggering of any further explosives. There has been an emergency telephone number set up for people trying to find out the status of loved ones.
4:51 pm
Trifioso
hello friends. TOUGH day here in Boston....Primo texted me RIGHT away, to let me know he and his GF were ok. LOVE that kid
4:52 pm
Trifioso
they are in their dorms now, basically in lock down
4:52 pm
sciencegeek
what is the update?
4:52 pm
Trifioso
two more bombs found, being dismantled now
4:52 pm
Trifioso
incident at JFK library has been determined to be unrelated
4:52 pm
MollyL
Glad to hear your boy is okay Trif.
4:52 pm
Trifioso
thanks molly
4:54 pm
MollyL
Kind of weird that a fire would occur at the exact same time though. I have to wonder if that was meant to be some sort of distraction technique.
4:54 pm
Trifioso
things catch on fire all the time, molly
4:55 pm
MollyL
Indeed they do. However, I would imagine this fire is going to get a lot more investigation than most.
4:56 pm
Trifioso
probably. yes.
4:59 pm
MollyL
Our Wht works in Boston, I think. I hope he checks in later.
4:59 pm
sammysmom
am praying for boston
4:59 pm
crosshair
my prayers go out to all those in boston affected by this bombing and a special prayer to those first responders who are even now working to defuse two other devices
4:59 pm
sammysmom
our war started on 9-11 and will never be over
5:00 pm
MollyL
I'm having creepy flashbacks to that day, SMom.
5:00 pm
Trifioso
thank you all.
5:00 pm
Trifioso
its a WEIRD day
5:01 pm
Trifioso
the marathon will never be the same
5:02 pm
crosshair
nope first air travel,then large gatherings..then who knows,soon we will be jumping at shadows,which is most likely the intended effect
5:05 pm
MollyL
It's so strange to hear Boylston Street every few minutes on the news. My Mom used to tell me family stories about things that happened on Boylston Street.
5:06 pm
Minski
Greetings everyone on this dismal day. I live just north of boston. My parents were across the street and directly in between the two bombs. They said it was terrifying and that they were deaf for a while afterwards. They are fine though.
5:06 pm
Trifioso
i am SO GLAD minski.....prayers to you all
5:06 pm
MollyL
Glad you heard from them Minski.
5:06 pm
crosshair
i am glad they are safe,minski
5:06 pm
Minski
Excuse my language in advance, but what kind of an asshole does something like this?
5:07 pm
MollyL
A sick, twisted one.
5:07 pm
Minski
I just can't understand.
5:07 pm
crosshair
same kind that flies plains into building bombs a british subway and puts poison in tylenol bottles;((
5:07 pm
Trifioso
my money is on a pissed off ex husband, who timed it when he thought his ex might be crossing the line
5:08 pm
crosshair
or an ex wife who wanted hubby erased
5:09 pm
sciencegeek
I think it is more than a pissed off spouse
5:09 pm
crosshair
i think so as well
5:09 pm
MollyL
I agree SGeek
5:10 pm
sciencegeek
I need a clue please for the se 5/16
5:11 pm
sciencegeek
no I don't sorry
5:12 pm
Trifioso
ok. we will know soon enough, I suppose
5:13 pm
Minski
I'm making dinner (darn kids need to eat) so I'll be in and out. Life goes on. I don't know if I'll be taking the girls into the city during April vacation though.
5:14 pm
dan2bit
se5 = se + not smart, shortened
5:15 pm
MollyL
The media is making me sick, showing the graphic videos over and over again.
5:15 pm
Minski
isn't that a kind of flower dan?
5:15 pm
dan2bit
Molly - mrs2bit just said the same thing. We are waiting at the airport, and trapped under a CNN tv
5:16 pm
dan2bit
Minksi - no idea
5:16 pm
crosshair
that is why i stream my own video and do not rely on the talking heads on tv
5:16 pm
MollyL
I have the TV on listening to news reports. I'm glad I'm not watching.
5:17 pm
MollyL
Safe travels 2Bit.
5:17 pm
crosshair
get enough news to know what is going on but not the same news in 20 point type from 300 different angles and viewpoints
5:17 pm
Minski
the girls are watching spongebob. I've had enough bad news repeated over and over for now. I'll get more later.
5:18 pm
crosshair
it is why the newspaper will never die.some do not need or wish oversaturation on things like this
5:20 pm
MollyL
I saw a Twitter feed on one internet news site and THAT is just ridiculous. Every idiot with a cell phone "reporting".
5:21 pm
dan2bit
2nd row N stats, please?
5:21 pm
crosshair
good books,your favorite newspapers in the morning and cut the top off the tv set,carry it into the garden and make a planter out of it

Horrified and sad to wake up to news of the bombs in Boston. Just checking in to say my thoughts go out to everyone affected. Bbl.
5:24 pm

Attempt again, SGeek
5:25 pm

oh a fish ty! done
5:25 pm

off to watch the sad news
5:25 pm
crosshair
yaaa for sciencegeek!
5:46 pm
Good Enough
kind of freaky the way the word list reflects the days events :(
6:07 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Boston, yr my home.
6:12 pm
invictus
Lovely that the Westboro Baptist Church is thankful for the attacks.
6:14 pm
RoundBarn
i missed this--is it the usual god is punishing us for our sins?
6:14 pm
invictus
Yep, basically. They are thankful for god's wrath.
6:14 pm
RoundBarn
mainly sodomy etc
6:15 pm
RoundBarn
I thought trsh cans weren't allowed n public places any more.
6:16 pm
invictus
Why do people go after kids? That is what I don't understand. Be a terrorist, sure, whatever...but, to go after a place where you know little kids will be present? That is not human. There cannot be any humanity inside a person who would do that.
6:17 pm
invictus
oops sorry
6:17 pm
RoundBarn
it is good to remember Hyman Kaplan--his language has become part of our family's, but people doen't recognize when I use a Kaplanism any more.
6:21 pm
MollyL
There is no sense to be made of terrorism and acts of violence.
6:24 pm
invictus
It is supposed to be instinct to protect the young, so that the species survives. It makes no sense that there are so many defective people out there who don't have that instinct. Animals have that instinct.
6:26 pm
blueheron
I feel so angry about what happened.
6:27 pm
MollyL
Self-preservation is supposed to be instinct. And yet many of these extremists are willing to strap bombs to themselves. These people are not right, mentally.
6:28 pm
blueheron
We now cannot go to theaters, events, without watching everyone around us.
6:33 pm
invictus
It bothers me that news stations are stuck on semantics. Obama says it is "an act of terror' and they are mad because he didn't say "terrorist attack." Same thing.
6:33 pm
blueheron
I agree!!
6:34 pm
invictus
I just don't think it had to be said at all, anyway. Obviously it is terrorism.
6:35 pm
blueheron
Yes it was, as far as I'm concerned.
6:35 pm
MollyL
Terrorism is terrorism. Whether it is domestic or from another country. However, many people only associate the word terrorism with foreign enemies of the US.
6:36 pm
invictus
People forget so quickly that the largest terrorist attack pre-WTC was committed by an American.
6:37 pm
MollyL
I agree. A lot of people have forgotten all about McVeigh.
6:37 pm
blueheron
I know Molly, We can not assume that that the people who are doing this are from other countries. We have plenty of terrorist cells here in the United States.
6:38 pm
invictus
In fact, the majority of terrorist attacks on American soil have been committed by Americans.
6:39 pm
invictus
A former FBI chief said the bombs reminded him of the Centennial Park bombing in 1996. When I heard about this, that is the first thing I thought of.
6:39 pm
blueheron
It''s a sad country we live in now. I worry about my children and grandchildren.
6:40 pm
invictus
I worry about my kids, too. I am very seriously considering enrolling them in an online public school next year.
6:40 pm
blueheron
There are so many hate groups out there now.
6:41 pm
invictus
Apparently they have a poi in custody now.
6:42 pm
MollyL
POI = Person Of Interest
6:42 pm
blueheron
I got that:)
6:43 pm
MollyL
I often do not understand internet abbreviations. So I try to spell them out when I do, for those who may be reading along but not commenting.
6:43 pm
blueheron
Boston is only an hour away from where I live.
6:44 pm
Lizlin
Good morning all :) Sad times :(
6:44 pm
invictus
I'm sorry, I forget that I am not posting on a true crime forum sometimes...
6:44 pm
blueheron
That's ok Molly. Thanks.
6:46 pm
blueheron
Anyway, this scares the sh-- out of me.
6:47 pm
invictus
Scares me too. I live in an area known for oil. We are a big target.
6:47 pm
Lizlin
It is scary - but you have to get on with life. Do what you can to be safe but there's nothing else you can do. If we all cower inside then the terrorists win!
6:48 pm
MollyL
Oh well me, I'm just a short hop from Washington, DC. This, while not as severe, brings back bad memories of an awful day around here.
6:49 pm
blueheron
I won't let them win, I just have my moments.
6:49 pm
Lizlin
I lived in London for most of my life - remember all the bombings on public transport very well!
6:49 pm
Lizlin
I know that, blueheron - I wasn't being personal!
6:49 pm
invictus
My boyfriend is an Iraq veteran and he has always been really paranoid about crowded places. So, we don't really go to big events anyway.
6:50 pm
blueheron
Where do you live Molly? I was just in Virginia to see my sister and daughter. I went to see the cherry blossoms.
6:52 pm
Lizlin
I agree with Molly's point that we mustn't forget that many acts of terror are committed by "home grown" - not by foreign groups.
6:52 pm
blueheron
My son-in-law had 2 tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. He's now in S. Korea for a week.
6:54 pm
blueheron
No worries Liz, I knew that:)
6:55 pm
blueheron
I was just venting my disgust for the world we live in now.
6:55 pm
Lizlin
I share that thought!
