we had an extraordinary situation at work on monday. fellow had to return to theatre from recovery as he had a slow bleed happening. when he came out the second time, he was left intubated and went straight through to ICU.unfortunately he had listed his niece as next of kin, and the surgeons are not allowed by law to speak to anyone else, and the man's wife was sitting there, wanting to know what had happened to her husband.

1:37 am

VolleymomDee

how awful

1:38 am

grannyrose

the niece was uncontactable as she was at work....so his poor wife had to wait until the niece gave her permission for the surgeons to speak to the wife.

1:38 am

jillibus

why would he do that?

1:39 am

jillibus

poor wife! She must be furious.

1:39 am

dart001

current wife...or ex?

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

I am surprised they hadn't listed both of them prior to the surgery... sounds like a mix up

1:39 am

jillibus

sure does

1:39 am

grannyrose

jilli, i don't think he was thinking clearly. sometimes people put other family members down as next of kin if/when they are travelling with their spouse. maybe he thought the same situation applied.

1:40 am

grannyrose

dart, current wife, and apparently very happily married

1:40 am

VolleymomDee

hubby did that once with his mother - I could have killed him

1:40 am

VolleymomDee

for the reason you mentioned ... about traveling together

1:41 am

jillibus

maybe he thought it would just be taken for granted that she was the closest and listed the niece as an alternative?

1:41 am

dizgrannie

FWs

1:41 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, dee. yes i know, and when don and i are travelling, we list each other, then one other family member each

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

I'll have to remember that phrase LOL

2:08 am

gapeach

May I please have a clue for any in words? Thanks

2:08 am

VolleymomDee

still not convinced yet they are related

2:08 am

grannyrose

after the port arthur massacre, our government clamped down hard on gun ownership....and the police, both federal and local are constantly working on backyard drug-dealers/growers, and in the process uncovering heaps of backyard terrorist cells.

2:08 am

dart001

what volley?

2:09 am

grannyrose

in4, in + opposite of hello

2:09 am

gapeach

Thannks much, rose.

2:09 am

VolleymomDee

I have been wondering today if the BMar event and this one are related in any way. I will be much happier when we hear some answers as to who and why

2:09 am

grannyrose

in5, in + not live, then plural for in6

2:10 am

dart001

the fertilizer plant...not related at all

2:10 am

grannyrose

in4, in + * *m grannyrose

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

Glad you confirmed that.

2:10 am

gapeach

Thanks once again, rose.

2:10 am

grannyrose

in6, in + right or left

2:10 am

grannyrose

then plural for in7

2:11 am

grannyrose

in6, in + ****er, not brother, then plural for in7

2:11 am

VolleymomDee

A wife of one of my hubby's board members ran in the marathon, but they aren't home yet.

2:12 am

grannyrose

in4, in + **p, not bottom

2:12 am

VolleymomDee

She finished 5 minutes before the 1st explosion.

2:12 am

gapeach

Oh, thanks, rose.

2:12 am

dart001

lucky for her

2:13 am

VolleymomDee

So true... really makes me sad about the 8 year old.

2:13 am

grannyrose

in5, in + in***duce, meet for the first time, then plural for in6

2:14 am

gapeach

Thannks so much, rose.

2:15 am

grannyrose

dee and dart, have been following over here. when i heard the news while going to work, i nearly drove off the road. the station i was listening to is christian, and the presenters were calling on all listeners to pray.

2:15 am

dart001

like i heard today...gov can't keep you safe.....people have to start to be more aware of things going on around them....most people walk around and don't pay attention to what's going on...too bust texting, chatting etc

2:15 am

dart001

busy

2:15 am

VolleymomDee

definitely in need of that... praying now that the culprits are apprehended ASAP, so fear diminishes

2:16 am

grannyrose

i hear you dart....it seems like that little screen is more important than what is happening around them.

2:16 am

VolleymomDee

True, dart, but I don't want to live in a country I have to be that kind of cautious. Never thought I would live long enough to ever be nervous in America.

2:17 am

dart001

some people have walked into traffic while texting...don't get me started on the drivers who text or talk all of the time

2:17 am

grannyrose

dee, it was wonderful to think that there were thousands of people all at the same time, praying for the same thing.

2:17 am

VolleymomDee

Totally agree, rose.

2:18 am

dart001

sad to say volley...i don't want to either....but think we are getting there.....and the police can't be everywhere all of the time

2:18 am

grannyrose

let you guys in on a secret....it's a mobile phone.....you really don't need to be connected to the internet 24/7.

2:20 am

VolleymomDee

both true

2:20 am

grannyrose

i only use my phone for calls or texts....and only when it is safe to do so. over here it is a fineable offence to use your mobile phone in the car while the keys are in the ignition.

2:21 am

VolleymomDee

getting that way here... I only use my phone for emergencies :)

2:21 am

dart001

have had people in this town...in daylight...stopped at an intersection...robbed in their car...gun pointed at head and they stole wallet, car and phone...has happened more than a few times....you have to be aware at all times...never know when or where

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

Actually it is off and in my purse most of the time. We still have a land line.

2:22 am

grannyrose

fortunately, my car comes with blue tooth built into the radio.

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

That happened to my dad in Chicago in the 50's.... for money...

2:23 am

VolleymomDee

I'd be in big trouble; I never carry cash.

2:23 am

dart001

they will take the credit cards lol

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

:)

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

That's all they would get; don't even have an ATM....

2:24 am

grannyrose

*giggle* mine gets shuffled down to the lowest poin t of my bag....then all of a sudden , on a whim, i fish it out, to discover it has turned itself off because the battery needs charging. not much of a techno head here.

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

ditto that, rose

2:25 am

dart001

then with your license..they know where you live and the fact you arent home and cant call quickly

2:25 am

VolleymomDee

...well, on that happy note, I am gonna poof. :)

2:26 am

dart001

lol.....me too.....don't mean to scare everyone

2:26 am

VolleymomDee

Must think happy thoughts... don't want any nightmares LOL :)

2:26 am

grannyrose

lol, goodnight to both of you. hope you both sleep well, and awake refreshed

2:27 am

dart001

thx gran.....bye all poof

2:27 am

VolleymomDee

You, too, rose, and thanks again for all of your help.

2:27 am

VolleymomDee

*poof*

2:42 am

5:28 am

puglet

hi Molly and Zoom

5:35 am

grannyrose

hey puglet and zooz. how are you both tonight/day?

5:35 am

zoozzoom

Not too bad thanks, Rose...how are you keeping?

5:36 am

puglet

HI Rose--Im great this morn.And you? Things sunnier for you

5:36 am

grannyrose

okay, thanx zooz. thanx for asking. trying to keep myself functioning as our colder weather hits.

5:37 am

grannyrose

i'm either part chook or part snake....probably both, as MollyL would say, lol

5:38 am

zoozzoom

:-)

5:39 am

grannyrose

i need sunshine to exist....not a lot around at this time of year.

5:39 am

puglet

We got severe weather coming in later today and a thirty degree drop in temps

5:39 am

grannyrose

yeah, pug, so dee was saying earlier.

5:40 am

godthaab

What's a chook?

5:40 am

zoozzoom

Thankfully the sun is out today rather mild..although very blustery.

5:40 am

grannyrose

a chicken or hen

5:40 am

godthaab

Ahhhh.......

5:41 am

grannyrose

they need sunshine on the retina of their eyes in order to lay an egg.....not that i am going to lay an egg, lol

5:43 am

zoozzoom

I was watching a programme here caled 'youv'e been framed' people send in videos of themselves doing silly or daft things...the mother said to her very young child and pointed at the chicken & said look what is it...hoping i suppose for the girl to try & say chicken...to which the girl replied "nuggets"

5:44 am

puglet

Pies in yesterdays grid and pies in todays ---makes me want a pie to go with my coffee!And pie crust is one thing Ive tried and tried to make and CANNOT get it --lol

5:44 am

grannyrose

lol, zooz, so true....out of the mouths of babes

5:46 am

grannyrose

pug, have to admit pastry is not my forte.....maybe with a little practice...

5:47 am

zoozzoom

Found all the 8s now..yay.

5:48 am

grannyrose

nice, zooz. good job

5:48 am

puglet

I dont know Rose--Ive tried "never fell" recipes and lets just say it wasent like my mom or grandma threw together

5:49 am

grannyrose

puglet, that's the clue, hun. they knew what to throw together and how much of everything....they probably didn't measeure much, but went by feel and texture.

5:50 am

puglet

thats so true

5:51 am

grannyrose

it's like my fried rice and chow mien recipes....there are some things which are a constant, and others which vary....gives you a completely different flavour everytime.

5:53 am

puglet

I have no trouble with the fillings its just that darn crust!I feel untrue to myself to have to buy already made crust

5:54 am

grannyrose

awww, puglet....be kind to yourself....and allow yourself time to gain experience, hun.

5:55 am

puglet

ahh thank you Rose--I will keep trying

5:56 am

grannyrose

i remember this first time i made hot cross buns for easter...we used them for door-stops...lol

5:57 am

zoozzoom

teehee

5:57 am

puglet

I like baking and cooking

5:57 am

grannyrose

it was either that or use them for skeet shooting practice. *giggle*

5:58 am

puglet

I made brownies once for a bake sale for our saddle club and some man bought them and brought them back saying they were too hard to eat--I never made another brownie since--lol

5:59 am

puglet

do you still make them

5:59 am

zoozzoom

Taking a break..back later..take care.

5:59 am

puglet

bye zoom have a great day

5:59 am

grannyrose

awww, puglet, please try again. like i said, it will take time to become used to textures etc.

6:00 am

grannyrose

yes, puglet...and my reputation is now legendary in my family....in fact our family easter is not easter if i don't bring my easter buns along.

6:01 am

puglet

I think I could be good at making homemade dog bisquits--lol

6:01 am

grannyrose

bye zozz, have a good one, mate

6:01 am

puglet

well thats good Rose--Iam glad for you--

6:03 am

grannyrose

pug, i must i was extremely fortunate. i had a great first recipe book. perhaps if you start with a beginners book, master that, then gradually increase to more complicated recipes when you can discern textures etc .

6:06 am

puglet

I got to go too--Got to take hubby to town--Yes I got a good cookbook my mom bought for me years ago when I first married(still got it) I use it alot. I will keep trying until I get that perfect pie---You have a beautiful day/night and may God Bless you and yours

6:06 am

grannyrose

pug, look for something along the lines of 'best ever first cook book' my first book took me through scones, to batters to christmas cakes to pastries.

6:07 am

grannyrose

awww, thanx pug...and you and yours, hun

6:08 am

puglet

okay Rose--I like the older cookbooks myself--take care --good bye

7:27 am

sprite

asked my son to walk the dog, because I fell... he was nasty and angry, went to walk the dog anyway. But when I told him I would have liked him to ask if I was hurt, he first went *eyeroll* but... then he said sorry and was I hurt? He is learning (as are we). Milestone!

7:27 am

sprite

thanks dawg, good advice, will do that

7:28 am

lbdawger

alas, son will get there. just have to keep your patience pills close at hand.

7:29 am

sprite

yeah, I am actually proud of him. He accepted my criticism and apologized and corrected his behaviour. That is all I ask... well done Tim :)

7:29 am

rubyfoo

but you try so hard and don't deserve all the sh** he dishes out!

7:29 am

NonoNanette

bringing up our children can be a long and sometimes painful process sprite, but your getting there it seems

7:30 am

lbdawger

yup, baby st4s. good for Tim

7:30 am

sprite

you know, ruby, I agree. But on the other hand, raising our children is my job, and I intend to do it as well as I can, and I have to do it with the kids I am given. Looks like all in all it works out.

7:31 am

sprite

I think so too, Nanette. And indeed, dawg, small steps ahead will get us there.

7:31 am

rubyfoo

I guess but I wish I could help you, having loved working with ados when I was a teacher *and with my own)

7:31 am

Judi

Really. We're still stuck on Star Trek sci-fi.

8:53 am

crosshair

you have to know what to read and watch with prognosticators and the jetsons was not it however jules verne predicted a lot of stuff including scuba gear and Issac Asimov predicted the calculator of all things and the orginal star trek's tricorders and communicators have indeed come to pass

8:54 am

Judi

Cell phones and tablets. We really need that transporter, 'cause air travel is just too damned expensive.

8:54 am

crosshair

crossy is still wating on the transporter

8:54 am

crosshair

what i really want is the holo-deck

8:54 am

sprite

visionaries, all of them. And yes, I want that transporter right NOW

8:55 am

sprite

that is a matter of time only, crossy, the technical stuff is already there

8:55 am

MollyL

You would think they would have been able to come up with a damn hover board by now. Those things were cool.

8:55 am

Judi

'Cause I love vacations, but the travel sucks.

8:55 am

smores

:D

8:55 am

crosshair

knowing no matter how badly you mess up,all you have to do is say "computer,end program"

8:55 am

BzznBea

9:00 am

pippingeek

9:01 am

smores

speaking of food...BRB

9:01 am

crosshair

lol,i never finish brekkies.if i am not cooking it and eating it,i am cleaning up after it.if not doing that i am looking in the fridge and planning for the next one and if not doing that i am off foraging at the store for supplies for it

9:02 am

pippingeek

i keep it simple, i hard cook a bunch of eggs at the beginning of the week and then just eat a couple every morning

9:02 am

Judi

Well, it is the most important meal of the day. That warrants all the attention.

9:02 am

crosshair

oh,pippin,you must jazz breakfast up a bit more!

9:03 am

crosshair

breakfast is THE meal of the day

9:03 am

pippingeek

well, i usually just want something to settle my stomach and give me protein before i go make the workout happen

9:03 am

pippingeek

my favorite though is poached eggs with rice and kale and black beans and teriyaki sauce

9:03 am

pippingeek

not a typical breakfast, but super yum

9:04 am

crosshair

i eat for the joy of eating,not to calculate,protein,or salt or carbs or iron or whatever.i had a friend like that.she never just ate,she was always treating a condition lol

9:04 am

MollyL

: O

9:05 am

pippingeek

oh no, i love food, don't get me wrong, just morning food isn't really my main thing, and eggs are super yum and easy

9:05 am

crosshair

eggs are indeed yummers;))

9:06 am

crosshair

give me those colesterol bombs:))

9:06 am

pippingeek

it's good cholesterol

9:07 am

Judi

There are elite athelets who just "eat fuel". If I ever get to the point where food becomes 'fuel", just shoot me.

9:07 am

crosshair

never harmed me;)) i eat a minimum of 8 eggs a week and my colesterol is 96

9:07 am

MollyL

I attended an interesting lecture once by a dietitian who believes that people who can be as obsessed with healthy eating as they can be with over eating.

9:07 am

crosshair

agreed,judi

9:07 am

pippingeek

it's appalling how many eggs i go through - i buy the 18 pack and i buy one at least every two weeks, often more

9:08 am

crosshair

lol,pippin.i go to the farm and buy flats of eggs

9:08 am

MollyL

Sorry, extra "who" in that post.

9:08 am

Judi

I am a super-taster, which means I have an above-average amount of taste buds. New scents and flavors intrique and entice me.

9:08 am

crosshair

i would agree with that,molly

9:08 am

pippingeek

so true molly - especially when you get into really restrictive diets like veganism or gluten free or atkins or whatever - i think it's just a socially acceptable way to basically be anorexic

9:09 am

MollyL

Constantly counting calories, weighing food, discussing one's diet and exercise habits is an obsession too.

9:09 am

IndiaJan

Good morning:)

9:09 am

pippingeek

(which is not to say that everyone in those diets has a problem, but that they attract people who lean towards self-flagellation around food)

9:09 am

Judi

I have a neice who has celiac disease. She has a terrible time finding things she can eat. Everything upsets her digestive system.

9:09 am

crosshair

now,saying all this,there are several genuine conditions that must have food intake closely monitored and i understand it all

9:10 am

pippingeek

celiac is terrible

9:10 am

crosshair

howdy jan

9:10 am

pippingeek

hi jan

9:10 am

sprite

health conditions that require very limited food are awful. So are eating disorders. Very, very difficult to live with.

9:10 am

MollyL

There are conditions that require special diets. It's the talking about it all the time that indicates a problem.

9:10 am

sprite

hi Jan

9:11 am

crosshair

my name is crossy s. and i am a baconholic

9:12 am

Judi

Hello, Crossy. Welcome to the group.

9:12 am

IndiaJan

White bread addict here..crusty fresh white bread

9:13 am

crosshair

well,i have made great strides,the mrs not longer gets bacon scented perfume or bacon earrings for presents

9:13 am

Judi

The first step is admitting you have a problem...nom nom nom nom...

9:13 am

crosshair

do not get me going on fresh bread products either

9:13 am

IndiaJan

Lol..terrible stuff that fresh bread

9:13 am

pippingeek

and you stopped using the bacon flavored scope mouthwash, and we're all grateful

9:13 am

crosshair

ok.i have a problem,now pass the bacon

9:13 am

crosshair

9:14 am

knutmeg

hello, all! Crossy, I fail to see how you have a problem?

9:14 am

knutmeg

Isn't that normal?

9:14 am

sprite

crossy, email :)

9:14 am

pippingeek

i know, i'm the abnormal one who doesn't really like bacon

9:15 am

crosshair

my problem is i cannot get enough bacon on my fresh toasted bacon sammich without it falling off

9:15 am

crosshair

actually,pippin,you are not alone as any pork products make carlee ill

9:16 am

Judi

*GASP*

9:16 am

MollyL

It's hard to admit you have a problem with your mouth full. : D

9:16 am

crosshair

i know!

9:16 am

sprite

I like bacon in moderation. Too much and it overpowers all other flavours.

9:16 am

Judi

Bacon dipped in maple syrup. Mmmmmmm.

9:17 am

crosshair

thats why i make dishes where the bacon IS the main flavour and all others are just there for support

9:17 am

MollyL

I don't think bacon overpowers other flavors. Hot peppers do though.

9:17 am

crosshair

judi,ever tried baked maple/pepper bacon? it is a fav of the royals;))

Hot peppers overpower senses and flavors.

9:18 am

sprite

sounds delish, crossy

9:18 am

Judi

Hmm. Not wild about the pepper addition.

9:18 am

Judi

However, next time I dine with the royals, I'll give it a go.

9:19 am

pippingeek

hey, does anyone have info on the right hand s? i am stumped

9:19 am

crosshair

now,many will disagree,but with people laying on the hot peppers/sauce all that does to me is mask the real taste of what you are cooking.heck,you could cook the nastiest dish on earth then just pour the hot sauce to it

9:19 am

MollyL

I have no disagreement with that.

9:20 am

pippingeek

i hate hot sauce. but i love spicy things, just the red flavor of those sauces makes me sad

9:20 am

9:20 am

pippingeek

oh, no wonder i don't have it

9:20 am

MollyL

se + end with the dried grape and plural

9:20 am

crosshair

i was told that the use of hot stuff like that originated as a way to mask meats that were not in the best shape as they were past their due date

9:21 am

Judi

I rarely use hot peppers. Usually only jalepenos. I always de-vein and de-seed them. Then, I usually roast them. That mellows them out considerably. I like to dice them up and add them to corn bread.

9:21 am

pippingeek

it's also a good way to preserve things, crossy

9:22 am

sprite

2 left, Se5 and 6, after the visionary. Could somebody please give me a clue?

9:22 am

pippingeek

ty sprite and molly

9:22 am

crosshair

interesting,pippin.i only know of canning or salt preservation in regard to long term meat storage

9:23 am

Judi

Okay - change of subject. Here at the police department today - we have a young lady in the lobby who is high as a kite and wants to make a theft report. Wheeeee!

9:23 am

pippingeek

it's not necessarily long term, but you still see in in countries with less modern technology

9:23 am

crosshair

someone stole her stash??

9:23 am

pippingeek

was gonna say the same, crossy

9:24 am

sprite

please?

9:24 am

pippingeek

dont have spritee

9:26 am

Judi

We haven't determined what was stolen yet, if anything. Something about tennants moving out and taking something that didn't belong to them. Our officer was talking to her in a normal voice and she whined, "why are you yelling at me?".

9:27 am

rubyfoo

hello again. I just planted 12 small geraniums, 12 erbena (each, 2 different types), 3 Moroccan mints , dwarf lobelia (seeds) and some other stuff. I am ready to collapse

9:27 am

The officer popped into the office to make a call. He's laughing about it. You really have to have a sense of humor to work here.

9:34 am

rubyfoo

that was a fish, molly, and I missed it

9:35 am

MollyL

There are no mistakes in gardens. Anything you plant and nurture is not a mistake. No matter how it turns out.

9:35 am

rubyfoo

the tiny evergreens we put in the first year for winter interest have, in some cases, become monsters and have had to be edxcised

9:36 am

rubyfoo

but it gives me enormous pleasure

9:36 am

hurshy

don't you think pouring acid all over a garden would be a mistake?

9:36 am

Judi

YOur garden sounds lovely, ruby. I need to get going and get my flowers planted. Maybe this weekend if mother nature cooperates.

9:37 am

rubyfoo

??hurshy?

9:37 am

Judi

We are also expecting a cicada hatching this summer. Gee, can't wait for that. Uhg.

9:37 am

hurshy

molly said there are NO MISTAKES in gardens. well, i have the kind of mind that immediately goes to how to disprove statements.

9:38 am

Judi

So, hurshy, how long have you had these thoughts of herbicide?

9:38 am

rubyfoo

just fell on the floor, hurshy

9:38 am

hurshy

A mouse? In France? How is this possible?

9:39 am

rubyfoo

I've never been this close to a mouse and he is really adorable; any suggestions for a name?

9:39 am

smores

do your dogs go after it

9:39 am

hurshy

melchisidek

9:39 am

hurshy

that was what sara crewe named her rat in "a little princess"

9:40 am

rubyfoo

for some reason, the dogs don't come in the studio. I think it's because it was "Ruby's place"

9:40 am

smores

aww

9:40 am

Judi

I thought there were no rodents or small mammals in France.

9:41 am

hurshy

why would you think that????

9:41 am

MollyL

Mouse name: Mr. Jingles (From "The Green Mile)

9:42 am

rubyfoo

I loved that movie, Molly

9:42 am

MollyL

He was a cute mouse.

9:42 am

smores

Judi ... didn't you ever see Ratatouille ....lol

9:42 am

rubyfoo

The French have eaten all the rabbits and deer and have worn all the squirrels, but there are still moles, voles and mice and probably, in Annecy, rats

9:42 am

hurshy

or you could name it martin, after the young boy who died in the boston bombing.

9:43 am

Judi

Ah. Okay. I remember hearing about the eating of some of the creatures. Rodents still remain.

9:43 am

rubyfoo

the women have fur coats that look like they're made from mide -- too many tiny skins

9:44 am

aww...tha's sadt

9:44 am

rubyfoo

I think Martin Jingles and I hope he comes back tonight. I'm putting out a little dish of cheese

9:46 am

Judi

Update on the theft report: Reporting party says she and her girlfriend were smoking crack. Said "friend" came in and took computer as "trade" for providing the crack. When asked the value of the crack that was purchased, party advised, "$20.00". Hee hee hee. You can't make this stuff up.

9:46 am

I called Ruby my puppy girl until the end

Still and again, Molly?

The obsession continues Bea. It's amusing, mostly.

3:57 pm

Jillyjill

Hmmmm....must be missing something molly?

3:57 pm

MollyL

And better you should. Sorry you didn't get a good night's sleep Jill. Hope the nap helped.

3:58 pm

Jillyjill

It did Molly...I just woke up way too early this morning and could not go back to sleep...

4:00 pm

MollyL

That's frustrating, especially when you have a busy day ahead.

Jillyjill

Thankfully didn't have a crazy day, no procedures yet scheduled for tomorrow and then I am off until next Thursday!!

4:20 pm

MollyL

No, I meant not notice the garden.

4:39 pm

MollyL

No kidding. That is one dangerous trio.

4:39 pm

rubyfoo

4:40 pm

Soodle

4:40 pm

MollyL

Blindfold and ear plug the kids too.

4:40 pm

Jillyjill

And...done!

4:40 pm

rubyfoo

and if I take enough codeine,I can even dance all night

4:41 pm

rubyfoo

in mh Platform shoes

4:41 pm

MollyL

â™ª I could have danced all night â™« (If I had taken codeine)

4:41 pm

rubyfoo

I work hard at looking taller

4:42 pm

rubyfoo

not easy whe you're 5 ft even

4:42 pm

MollyL

Ruby you need to give up those platforms. They are a busted ankle waiting to happen.

4:42 pm

Soodle

You can dance for me, Ruby. I'm more of a 'one elbow on the bar' sorta gal......

4:43 pm

Jillyjill

Or a torn miniscus...I did that in my teen years...

4:43 pm

rubyfoo

I am so used to them that I find them comfortable. I fall only if I;m wearing sandals \\9like today). Go figure/1 U think the ankle straps protect e )or one of my angels, maybe)

4:43 pm

MollyL

Oh right...says Ms. The Winner Takes It All.

4:44 pm

rubyfoo

Maybe I'm pushing my luck but I love shoes and saw an ad for Bottega Veneta shoes with butterflies -- magnifique!

4:44 pm

Soodle

The winner can still take it all with one elbow on the bar!!

4:45 pm

rubyfoo

my nephews wife tends t dance on the bar but i don't go that far

4:45 pm

MollyL

Nothing wrong with shoes. Nothing wrong with cute shoes. Nothing wrong with heels. Plenty wrong with platforms though.

4:45 pm

rubyfoo

I thought they were safer than spike heels without snkle straps

4:46 pm

rubyfoo

I have a pair of red-orange crocs

4:46 pm

rubyfoo

I want the butterfly shoes, but will have to wait for J\auary sales

4:47 pm

MollyL

I can't talk about Crocs and cute shoes in the same chat.

4:47 pm

rubyfoo

however, my daily uniform is black sweat pants and a t-shirt or turteneck -- not so fancy here in the country

4:48 pm

rubyfoo

are Crocs a brand name?

4:48 pm

Soodle

More of a Fit-Flop woman meself,! I have some 'Heel-Hiles', but they are strictly car-to-bar.

4:48 pm

MollyL

Or for *cough* other things...

4:49 pm

rubyfoo

I think I've been away from the US too long

4:49 pm

MollyL

Ruby, those Veneta's would be cute if they weren't platforms.

4:50 pm

rubyfoo

my crocs are actually crocodie

4:50 pm

Soodle

God be with the days......

4:50 pm

rubyfoo

they even have butterflies incised on the sides of the platforms

4:51 pm

rubyfoo

I had to get all new stuff to go with the shoes because I had nothing that color

4:51 pm

MollyL

Oh my GOD Ruby, I didn't know you were rich! Those things are EXPENSIVE.

4:51 pm

rubyfoo

I wish I could stay later, but DH will be very annoyed

4:52 pm

rubyfoo

I bought them on sale

4:52 pm

MollyL

No, the Veneta's.

4:53 pm

Soodle

Sadly, my shoes reflect myself these days. Built for comfort, not speed.

4:53 pm

rubyfoo

and black suede ones in the same style. They're Sergio Ross'si's/ I don't care about clothes so much, just shoes

4:53 pm

MollyL

$1,320 American at Bergdorf's.

4:54 pm

rubyfoo

At least the butterfly shoes are black

4:54 pm

rubyfoo

OMG is hadn't priced them

4:55 pm

MollyL

Designer shoes...some of them are pretty...but way too expensive.

4:55 pm

rubyfoo

Maybe they'll be half price inJanuary

4:55 pm

Jillyjill

Heading out...bbl, maybe for flip!

4:56 pm

MollyL

Before Christian Louboutin got all weird, I used to lust after a pair of his strappy sandals.

4:56 pm

rubyfoo

My wedding shoes were Manolo Blahniks, dark blue sastin (dyed to match my dress) with jeweled buckles

4:56 pm

rubyfoo

does this make me a fetishist?

4:56 pm

MollyL

Even at half price, those are WAY too rich for my blood.

4:57 pm

Soodle

I beg your pardon? upwards of one thousand dollars? for one one pair of shoes?

4:57 pm

MollyL

No, just a shoe freak. : P

4:57 pm

rubyfoo

When I was still woring, I treated myself very well

4:57 pm

rubyfoo

working, not the other lol

4:57 pm

MollyL

Beg Ruby's pardon. She just said she would pay half price for them.

4:58 pm

rubyfoo

I'd rather buy shoes than give the money to the IRS or French fisc

4:58 pm

rubyfoo

and when you buy expensive shoes, you go dow two sizes which I find very funny

4:59 pm

rubyfoo

maybe the Venetas will be cheaper in Erope

5:00 pm

MollyL

As much as I love shoes, I would never pay that much for them. Hundreds of dollars for a pair of shoes doesn't wash in my book.

5:00 pm

rubyfoo

but it's Worth it having that extra 4 inches

5:01 pm

Soodle

Right! When the Molly/Ruby/Soodle Meet pics are shown on Babble, Soodle will be the one with her feet/shoes cunningly hidden under the table

5:01 pm

rubyfoo

If I can ever figure out camera/computer Relationship, I'll try to post some

5:01 pm

MollyL

Besides, I never keep my shoes on long enough to merit that kind of expenditure.

5:02 pm

rubyfoo

between Molly and Soodles, I'll disappear in drabness

5:02 pm

rubyfoo

except my feet

5:02 pm

MollyL

Drabness? HA!

5:03 pm

rubyfoo

and so to bed with visions of black butterflied dancing around my verbena

5:03 pm

Soodle

ROFL @ what Rubes said @ 5.00!!!!! For sure!!!!!

5:03 pm

rubyfoo

They are predicting colder weather toorrow and I hope it doesn't kill everything i plnted today

5:04 pm

MollyL

I hope you only dream about that Ruby. If you go dancing around in those things you will end up in traction.

5:04 pm

Soodle

((((((Ruby)))) Luv Ya

5:04 pm

rubyfoo

those were the days soodle; just wait 'til the book comes out. I'll even name names......

5:05 pm

MimiCat

You'll notice that women with big feet never adore shoes----we can't FIND any cute ones in our size! I'm a size 11 now (size 9 most of my life...then 3 pregnancies) and I HATE shopping for shoes.

5:05 pm

MollyL

Ruby I hope the dogs don't tear up everything you planted.

5:06 pm

rubyfoo

I used to wear size 7, now wear size 6

5:06 pm

rubyfoo

5:06 pm

rubyfoo

but Mimi, you are tall

5:07 pm

MimiCat

So unfair, ruby!! Gravity is no longer my friend in sooo many ways!

5:07 pm

MimiCat

No, dear, I'm only 5"4.5".

5:07 pm

rubyfoo

good night my lovey friends, you make me very happy!

5:07 pm

rubyfoo

then you need platforms, too

5:08 pm

rubyfoo

*wppf*

5:08 pm

MimiCat

Yep---but can't find anything in my size.....so very sad.

5:08 pm

MimiCat

5:25 pm

periwinkle

yes I did figure that out, Molls, it took me a while tho :)

5:26 pm

MollyL

Weird words like that make me go blind at times.

5:26 pm

periwinkle

5:26 pm

periwinkle

this is a tough grid for me

Soodle

Its official. I've been classified as the 'squeezed generation'. Elderly parents demanding time and resources. Offspring demanding time and resources. I'm being squeezed from both sides.. If this continues, I'll be thi soon!

5:29 pm

Soodle

Thin

5:33 pm

MollyL

It's not a pleasant place to be and there is very little peace in it.

5:36 pm

Soodle

Ah,sure, I might end up up skinny!

5:36 pm

MollyL

Dream on. If stress made us thin, there would be many more svelte people in the world.

There once was a man from Madrass
Whose balls were made out of brass
When he'd bang 'em together
They'd play stormy weather
And lightning would shoot out of his ass

9:17 pm

weiik

9:17 pm

crosshair

lol,i cannot remember anything before 1980 or is,just a haze

9:18 pm

weiik

the saying was the 60's

9:18 pm

crosshair

all i can remember is some one at a paty in the 70's saying to me "here try this blue pill"

9:19 pm

weiik

i always waited for them to try it first

9:19 pm

crosshair

then i woke up and it was 1980

9:19 pm

crosshair

9:20 pm

9:21 pm

crosshair

after that i stuck to vodka and herbal tea

9:21 pm

weiik

9:21 pm

weiik

9:22 pm

crosshair

9:23 pm

9:25 pm

crosshair

it is sad really.had to give up the smokes in 2002,barely drink,now weeks is almost legal and i cannot use it.think if i tried my lungs would explode..guess there is always hash brownies for the ole arthritis

9:25 pm

weiik

how many words are there in the grid 2night

9:25 pm

crosshair

weed

9:25 pm

pippingeek

i went with tomatoes and mozz with balsamic vinegar and basil. yum

9:25 pm

jesdraggon

192

9:25 pm

pippingeek

192

9:25 pm

crosshair

192 in total

9:25 pm

weiik

oh ... i'll get 4 more and go to sleep ,, i have 50 now

9:26 pm

pippingeek

i've always wondered, how do people access the grid without seeing how many words? mine tells me right up front

9:26 pm

jesdraggon

it doesn't tell you if you don't have a paid account, pip

9:26 pm

crosshair

that is because were are members,pippin.others only get the totals for first 3 weeks

9:27 pm

pippingeek

ohhh. that makes a lot of sense

9:27 pm

crosshair

it is supposed to be an enticement to cough up the 12 bux for a lifetime subscription

9:27 pm

weiik

pippin, it doesn't matter, i enjoy the challenge of finding words without assistance, except for the occasional clue

9:27 pm

pippingeek

and crossy, you can always make weed butter, it can be mixed into almost anything if done right, and no lung drama

9:27 pm

mkg

hi all. back for more.

9:27 pm

crosshair

that and having a pretty flag

9:28 pm

jesdraggon

how fishy is SI5/10?

9:28 pm

crosshair

yes,i need no lung drama

9:28 pm

weiik

evening mkg

9:28 pm

mkg

i am going to change my name to mink instead of mkg. is that hard to do?

9:28 pm

pippingeek

hi mkg

9:28 pm

crosshair

it is a french river jes

9:29 pm

mkg

i think it is not doable. oh well.

9:29 pm

mkg

hi pippin

9:29 pm

pippingeek

well, if by fishy do you mean are there fishes in it...

9:29 pm

crosshair

mkg,just ask dr_g he will do a name change for you

9:29 pm

jesdraggon

are you sure that's not the SE5?

9:29 pm

jesdraggon

I only know so many French rivers! :P

9:29 pm

crosshair

se 5/10= french river

9:29 pm

mkg

can anyone clue the i words for the i in third column? two words

9:30 pm

pippingeek

oh, whoops, right

9:30 pm

jesdraggon

right, I need the SI 5/10 :)

9:30 pm

pippingeek

si5 is pl of si4

9:30 pm

pippingeek

nm, i guess i don't have it yet

9:31 pm

weiik

i have in6 21, the small privately made movies

9:31 pm

crosshair

si 5/10= not brother then pl it

9:31 pm

pippingeek

mkg, they are singular and pl japanese words for american born

9:32 pm

mkg

se 5 is just reveresed vowels for the river. and add a hook letter to end for the se 6

9:32 pm

mkg

there is another se 6/7: se+ vowel, then what bad deeds are called. then plural, and you have the six seven

9:33 pm

mkg

i tried the japanese words. i must be spelling them wrong pip . ty.

9:33 pm

jesdraggon

thanks, crossy

9:34 pm

mkg

ty got htem now.

9:34 pm

weiik

ty mkg

9:39 pm

MollyL

Pip, pass the butter : D

9:39 pm

pippingeek

of course, i had the is japanese word but not the ni one. sigh

9:39 pm

pippingeek

anytime, molly

9:40 pm

weiik

i've not heard of the butter, but, the brownies, and don't think, if i remember, ever trying one

9:40 pm

pippingeek

i've never had the brownies either

9:42 pm

pippingeek

but basically science-wise fat absorbs molecules, it's why we infuse oils and heavy creams and not fat free things (vinegar being an exception because acid works differently, same w alcohol)

9:42 pm

weiik

i know some one who has alittle machine, that somehow cooks it, smokeless, collects the vapor in a bag, and inhales that, seems like a lot of work to me

9:42 pm

jesdraggon

good grief that's a lot of i words....

9:43 pm

MollyL

The best I've heard of is Weed Pops...as in lollipops.

9:43 pm

pippingeek

those machines are still somewhat involving smoke, just not open flame, so while they are better on the lungs they're still not awesome

9:43 pm

weiik

i'm sure it will be legal in my lifetime

9:44 pm

pippingeek

i went on a date with a guy who was really excited about eating weed infused hard candies, and had pot gummies. but he was a giant loser so i didn't stick around to find out details

9:44 pm

weiik

ingestion is probably the safest, but, i've heard it is more intense

9:45 pm

MollyL

Duuuude...gummy bears : )

9:45 pm

weiik

they test where i work at, and i like my paycheck, oops, i mean job, more

9:45 pm

pippingeek

we had a party at my work and there was butter and several people got it who did not intend to, which was terrible, and at least one of them was still so high the next day she couldn't come in to work

9:46 pm

weiik

that's funny

9:46 pm

pippingeek

but that was a job where the owners all partook, so testing was not going to be an issue. sort of part of climbing culture

9:46 pm

MollyL

I know I have a sick sense of humor but I think that is funny : D

9:46 pm

pippingeek

now that i'm looking for health care work, it's definitely not on the agenda, not that it's something i do frequently

9:47 pm

weiik

i had a woman i took to lunch and we did it in the park, that lunch time, i did not know she hadn't in years, was during payroll, she messed up and it took days to correct it

9:47 pm

pippingeek

oops

9:49 pm

MollyL

Were there Cheeto stains all over the paychecks?
: D

9:49 pm

pippingeek

yeah, that stuff and work never mixes

9:50 pm

weiik

no, the incentives and such did not get in, and since it was on the computer, it took a while to back everything out, the controller made sure that did not happen again ...

9:51 pm

weiik

this was long before cheetos were on the market

9:52 pm

MollyL

Wow. Cheetos have been around since 1948. Must have been a long LONG time ago.

9:53 pm

pippingeek

can anyone help with the last sa5? completely stumped

9:53 pm

weiik

i don't remember them before the late eights

9:53 pm

jesdraggon

They had payroll computers before they had cheetos? huh.

9:53 pm

weiik

i'm not much of a junk foodie

9:53 pm

pippingeek

ugh, nm

9:53 pm

weiik

computers came out in the 50s

9:54 pm

jesdraggon

is that the one that's like the christmas guy, pip?

9:54 pm

pippingeek

it;s like it's impossible for me to see the word until i publicly ask for it

9:54 pm

pippingeek

yes

9:54 pm

weiik

they did not become mainstream till the early 70s

9:54 pm

pippingeek

also, i refuse to admit that's a word

9:54 pm

weiik

i came into companies that were trying to migrate off of paper and onto the computer in the late 60s

9:55 pm

jesdraggon

hahah. well, it's not an >English< word, anyway.

9:55 pm

MollyL

Most companies still insist on a back up paper trail, which is really pointless.

9:57 pm

weiik

i think a backup of the electronic voting machines would be important

9:57 pm

pippingeek

for sure

9:58 pm

weiik

i'm in manufacturing now, and the floor people write everything down on paper and enter it into the machine at the end of the day

9:58 pm

MollyL

The ones that are rigged or the ones that aren't rigged? : D

9:58 pm

pippingeek

molly: yes

9:58 pm

jesdraggon

first di7 please?

9:58 pm

weiik

i think they're all rigged now, look at the last 4 elections

9:59 pm

MollyL

I'll second that.

10:00 pm

MollyL

You look down your nose with di7

10:01 pm

jesdraggon

thanks

10:03 pm

jesdraggon

I havenot been Babbling much this past week and Jilli asked why. I told her about all the things I was busy with and she just laughed at me... According to her I was sucked in by the myth of retirement. I think she is right

10:21 pm

jesdraggon

hanging in, stid, despite contagious adolescent idiocy. how're things going with the new living space?

10:21 pm

stidmama

oh! LOL yes, I have heard about that myth... akin to the list of "to do" I always have for vacation?

10:22 pm

stidmama

not horrible, jes. thanks. Love the hellhound in your icon... sorry he has so many health issues.

10:22 pm

smores

:) well, I hope you were at least busy with some fun stuff

10:22 pm

herinfernallady

Hi

10:22 pm

stidmama

remember that (most) parents of adolescents manage to survive... and the kids do too.

10:22 pm

stidmama

hey lady!

10:24 pm

stidmama

S on the far right for NBT please?

10:24 pm

stidmama

I am getting pretty sleepy...

10:25 pm

jesdraggon

he's actually doing splendidly and i've started reducing his daily medications to see how low (and therefore inexpensive) i can go with them

10:25 pm

stidmama

nice! I am glad he is making good progress. :-D

10:25 pm

herinfernallady

Waves back. Jess is that your new puppy?

10:26 pm

jesdraggon

yes, herin

10:26 pm

smores

se + vowel + seven deadly ****

10:26 pm

herinfernallady

He is one big dog

10:26 pm

smores

I think thats the right one

10:27 pm

stidmama

ah, thanks smores!

10:27 pm

stidmama

yes! that did it for me!

10:27 pm

smores

yw

10:27 pm

stidmama

got NBT AND halfway in one fell swoop

10:27 pm

jesdraggon

he's a cute and cuddly little baby, herin!

10:28 pm

smores

wtg stid

10:28 pm

stidmama

Also, have a proud mama brag... the other day in the car Grant used the word "plethora" appropriately and nonchalantly. *grin*

10:28 pm

smores

lol...nice :)

10:28 pm

Bugsaw

love those proud mama moments!

10:30 pm

herinfernallady

I prefer big dogs at least they aren't going to eat your ankles

10:31 pm

stidmama

I am definitely not a small animal person. Tom is not a big animal person.

10:31 pm

stidmama

Fortunately, we are both book people. :-D

10:31 pm

herinfernallady

That works

10:32 pm

uusue2

hi all!

10:32 pm

stidmama

hey sue

10:33 pm

Bugsaw

hey sue!! hugs to you

10:33 pm

uusue2

hi stid!!

10:33 pm

herinfernallady

Stid I have been thinking and please don't take any offence but have you thought of setting up a special Amazon wish list account with anything and everything you need on there so if anyone wishes to send anything to you now or in the future we can?

10:33 pm

uusue2

thanks, bugs!

10:33 pm

herinfernallady

HHi Sue

10:33 pm

uusue2

hi herin, and that is a great idea!

10:34 pm

Bugsaw

great idea herein

10:34 pm

stidmama

yes, lady and I have started putting one together. But right now... I don't even have space for the things we have with us!

10:34 pm

stidmama

But, yes. I am putting one together.

10:34 pm

cosdem

I have just discovered the wish list... and yes that is an excellent idea. very simple to use

10:34 pm

stidmama

feather and nrk suggested it a little while ago

10:35 pm

herinfernallady

Also Amazon always you to use any other website too.

10:35 pm

stidmama

It is easier to think about the books than the stuff I really need... *sigh*

10:36 pm

stidmama

my dream house has an actual "library" in it.

10:36 pm

herinfernallady

Doesn't have to be right now but if you set one up as you are going through everything you can go 'O need that forgot about that' and stuff it on the list

10:36 pm

Bugsaw

more fun too stid. You need something to keep your spirits up until you can move in to the new house

10:36 pm

stidmama

That's a great idea, lady -- thanks!

10:37 pm

herinfernallady

I have a wish list for things I have seen or missed on TV and will track down at the livrayr

10:38 pm

stidmama

hm... I might need to spend some time tonight with Tom and Grant talking about the things we need to ask for.

10:38 pm

stidmama

I know that all our living room things have to be replaced.

10:39 pm

herinfernallady

And I mean ANYTHING could be as random as going to Target linking them up with AMazon for a pair of socks

10:40 pm

stidmama

really? we will need some additional clothing as summer comes along.

10:40 pm

herinfernallady

Really

10:40 pm

Bugsaw

I second that stid

10:40 pm

herinfernallady

Or go to Target.com and put up a Wedding Registry

10:41 pm

stidmama

hmmmm.... wanting to not be acquisitive just as my life was finally "simplified" and yet...

10:41 pm

smores

was stuck in grid...finally down to 25

10:41 pm

stidmama

;-) too late for a wedding registry! LOL

10:41 pm

stidmama

go smores go!

10:41 pm

smores

Great idea...and yes anything :)

10:41 pm

cybernan

last st 6, please?

10:41 pm

stidmama

nan was here, and disappeared?

10:41 pm

stidmama

oh -- there you are!

10:41 pm

herinfernallady

Well it is better than a baby registry at least they suggest useful things

how are things going with the homestead, stid?

10:46 pm

stidmama

they're going, nan -- I am doing better with getting things done when I am there. The first week just walking in the door was too overwhelming. Now I can get more than an hour of solid sorting in before I have to stop. Having springtime in the garden helps. :-)

10:46 pm

herinfernallady

Stid can I please make a suggestion

10:47 pm

stidmama

always, lady -- you have good ideas.

10:53 pm

herinfernallady

I say you get one of those cheap Ribba Photo frames from Ikea and do a collage of all the items that mean something to you but are now a little bit crispy like your book pages and fabric and put your old house keys in there too. Add a saying that means something you and yours.

10:56 pm

stidmama

I like that idea VERY much! :-D

10:58 pm

herinfernallady

It doesn't have to be anything that makes anysense to anyone but you and yours.

10:59 pm

herinfernallady

I have to get a frame for 2 things - one a dress I wore as a baby and the other the stuffed toy my birth mother made and left for me at the hospital. It was stuffed with stockings and has sadly disintegrated all on the innards.

11:05 pm

stidmama

11:05 pm

stidmama

YAY smores!

11:06 pm

herinfernallady

Yah Smores. Ikea is too expensive here to mod it

11:06 pm

stidmama

I am so glad you have that toy -- and the dress. Good for you.

11:08 pm

herinfernallady

We got one of the cheap Fullen washstands and put the bit that goes on the wall on the floor and then put a cat box in it. The doors stay up but if you need extra bench space close the doors and yes even madam fatty can go through the gap

11:08 pm

stidmama

11:09 pm

smores

11:09 pm
