1:18 am

flosey

thanks rose - and thanks for the help

1:20 am

flosey

how are you doing Peach?

1:20 am

rubyfoo

Rufie has a hot spot like last year's, only bigger. The cornstarch did nothing so he's on antibiotics and prednisone again plus (stinging) betadine on the sors. It is too bad because my son has never seen him and p until Sunday, he was the most magnificent dog anybody ever saw

1:22 am

rubyfoo

the good news is that I just got John's confirmation number yay

1:22 am

flosey

ah, poor Rufie, hope he heals fast ruby

1:22 am

grannyrose

awww poor ruffie. he will be gorgeous again, i'm sure, ruby.

1:22 am

rubyfoo

so today is cooking and cleaning my studio and maybe planting some more stuff

1:23 am

rubyfoo

he was in such misery last night, that he attacked the baby girl and really scared me.

1:23 am

grannyrose

darn.....where does that extra f come from...r-u-f-i-e

1:23 am

rubyfoo

he has alwys been absolutely the most gentle dog with her

1:24 am

flosey

poor dear, it is understandable, we, ourselves, feel like lashing out sometimes

1:24 am

rubyfoo

our chosen names are very confusing: Ruffino (Rufie), Rafaella (Raffie). hE IS SO BIG THAAT HE COULD EASILY KILL HER

1:24 am

rubyfoo

whoops, sorry

1:25 am

rubyfoo

wwnted to sasy hello before i pith in with y day

1:25 am

rubyfoo

Yesterday my husband got lost trying to fid our halall butcher where he ha been many many times, just not lately

1:25 am

grannyrose

lol, it's okay ruby.we all need to shout sometimes. *grin*

1:25 am

flosey

so your son is coming soon?

1:26 am

rubyfoo

He came home very embarrassed and i had to go bak there with him

1:26 am

rubyfoo

He's coming tomorrow morning, but just staying 'til Monday when he and DIL will tke the trin to Paris

1:26 am

grannyrose

oh, dear. maybe he will remember that the next time he opens his mouth to snarl at you.....

1:27 am

flosey

lovely, enjoy ruby

1:27 am

rubyfoo

tke* nd train* -- having trouble with the a's

1:27 am

flosey

hahaha, rose, do they ever remember these things

1:28 am

rubyfoo

no, en route, when I offered to drive because he was so upset, he told me what a terrible driver I was, etc. Very asty. I guess Rufie is definitely his son s far as lashing out!

1:29 am

grannyrose

not so's i notice....himself is always saying i don't listen to him, because i can't remember what he said to me 4 YEARS ago....and yet he can't remember that i said i wanted to go to the bank, 5 MINUTES after we get into the car....

1:29 am

rubyfoo

today I will make humus and baba gaoush as side dishes for tomorrow's couscous\I am tryig to think of vegetarian things for DIL

1:29 am

rubyfoo

ganoush*

1:30 am

flosey

love both of those, haven't made them in ages

1:30 am

rubyfoo

have any of you ever had an eggplant explode in the oven?

1:30 am

rubyfoo

they are so easy with food processors

1:31 am

flosey

no! but have never put one in whole!

1:31 am

grannyrose

ruby, thankfully no, dear, ihave not....mind you, an eggplant has to make it into my oven in the first place...

1:31 am

rubyfoo

the first time I did it, I didn't know you had to pierce it

1:32 am

flosey

the only way I use eggplant is in Moussaka, and it's sliced and baked first before putting all together

1:32 am

rubyfoo

it's like when my mother was a Young bride and had a pressure cooker of spinach explode and distribute spinach throughout her kitchen

1:33 am

rubyfoo

I make both humus and baba without tahini which has a taste I don't like It may be less authentic, but it tstes better, at least to me

1:33 am

flosey

I remember when the pressure cookers first came out, after WW2, Mom never had it happen but heard a few friends did

1:33 am

flosey

hey, whatever works ruby, no recipe is written in stone

1:34 am

rubyfoo

I inherited an old one from y grand mother, but never used it except as a pot

1:34 am

helensgirlkid

My pressure cooker came with a notice to NEVER cook split peas in it - I forgot, and had split peas all over the kitchen!

1:34 am

helensgirlkid

Never thought of spinach.

1:35 am

rubyfoo

I figure, "I'm the cook and it's y kitchen" Selfish nel!

1:35 am

rubyfoo

what an image, helens!

1:36 am

flosey

wow Helen, bet it never happens a second time

1:36 am

rubyfoo

and imagine how dangerous that coud be

1:36 am

helensgirlkid

I was a yellow kitchen, too - what a sight.

1:37 am

rubyfoo

well, I'm off to the coal mines

1:37 am

rubyfoo

71 words and that's probably it for the day

1:37 am

rubyfoo

71 words and that's probably it for the day

1:37 am

rubyfoo

{{big hug, deawr Babble friends)

1:37 am

helensgirlkid

IT was a fairly modern pressure cooker - circa 1960 - and had a rubber plug that popped, so it can't really be said to have "exploded" - but it sure sounded like it.

1:38 am

flosey

frightening indeed

1:38 am

flosey

but get to bed, goodnight all be back at flip tomorrow

1:39 am

flosey

butg **must** get to bed

TO, the person I know is as smart as a whip, has 2 college degrees, can't hold a job because "she knows everything" can be charming but will also turn on you in a heartbeat, very erratic behavior

Of course, everyone here is perfect in every way ... People who live in glass houses ...

7:56 am

72 Temple Owl

7:56 am

mael

7:56 am

Mom

7:57 am

8:03 am

mael

it is supportive, though, sometimes people just down realize how problematic their behaviour is until a friend tells them. You don't need to be accusatory, just matter of fact. And then feel free to pull away to a cordial level of interaction

8:03 am

mael

I just finished the last of my planting. What job, even with someone to help

11:51 am

dcseain

ps4 ... (i found the lower p)

11:51 am

11:51 am

dcseain

11:51 am

lol@ planting.we had flurries this morn

11:51 am

rubyfoo

everyone tells me it's too early, but I wanted the garden to look beautiful for my boy. It doesn't, quite, but it's better than a week ago

11:52 am

dcseain

and planes are taking off over the house today, and takeoffs are much louder than landings here.

11:52 am

MLFAN17

anybody have stats for the i?

11:52 am

rubyfoo

they stayed at a Marriott last night, probably near to you, too

11:52 am

dcseain

if they don't get on the plane, I'll have enough food in the house to feed an army!

11:53 am

dcseain

the straight-line ones are often the least obvious, at least when they don't jump out at you.

11:54 am

dcseain

that's not so useful -- not many armies sweeping across Europe these days :)

11:54 am

MLFAN17

i heard on the news this AM controllers jobs are being cut so its delaying flights everywhere

11:54 am

crosshair

i have a deaf friend who has a place in a subdivison that was built before the airport expansion.he had a friend who could hear do the initial look through and early offers and he got the place for a song.does not bother him in the slightest though they are supposed to use noise abatement procedures and throttle back a bit on takeoff over the places,but if i were a pilot i would not be chopping back a 1/3 of my power either

11:55 am

MLFAN17

i have actually greyed 7

11:56 am

dcseain

indeed so, mlf re air traffic controllers. Idiocy these measures.

11:57 am

dcseain

i've lived most of my life on the flight paths of Washington National and/or Dulles.

11:57 am

crosshair

too high a burn out rate for controllers as it is for them to be chopping back on them:(

11:58 am

crosshair

i ahve heard of dulles.it is famous even here.or infamous rather

11:58 am

rubyfoo

23 words left but as they're just a little of this and a little of that, I'm going to call it a night

12:00 pm

rubyfoo

it's funny just when I look away I see words.....

12:00 pm

Dulles (IAD/KIAD) is a decent airport. And in 5 or 6 years Washington Metro will have a station there, as phase two of the Silver Line has been funded and bid out.

12:03 pm

I've heard that Pearson is better than Denver, but that's not hard to do. And may you never have to change planes at Atlanta-Hartsfield.

12:03 pm

crosshair

or save and go as a group in a private 12 seater executive jet from the local regional airport.now that is flying in style.no lineup nothing just show up make sure you have all your paperwork and breeze right onto the plane

12:05 pm

dcseain

That is a lovely way to travel indeed, crossy.

12:05 pm

crosshair

add 3-400 each for the cost of the trip,but ohhh so worth it

12:05 pm

rubyfoo

oh boy, crossy, that sounds wonderful!

the last time I flew, it was from London City to Geneva on an Embraer [?] jet and it was almost like that. Very small and comfortable

12:08 pm

crosshair

always go with the smaller carriers.i find the big one air canada esp,treat you like cattle unless you are going first class

12:09 pm

crosshair

business clas it not too bad though

12:09 pm

dcseain

yes, the smaller the carrier usually the nicer the experience. I loved America West and Alaskan Air while they lasted.

12:10 pm

rubyfoo

I loved PanAm when I used my biz travel miles to upgrade to first. Those were the days

12:10 pm

dcseain

Yes they were. PanAm and the old Northwest Orient were both quite nice.

12:10 pm

crosshair

i ma says the old BOAC did a good job as well

12:11 pm

crosshair

my da*

12:11 pm

rubyfoo

I used to fly to Minneapolis from NY once a month and loved Northwest with their Flying Colors

12:12 pm

dcseain

i used to take NW from DC to Cleveland several times a year.

12:12 pm

crosshair

boac was what we flew on when we came to canada,but they are long gone now

12:12 pm

rubyfoo

I don't like flying any more

12:12 pm

crosshair

flying is fine,it is just the landing that sometimes hurts;)

12:13 pm

crosshair

but like they say,any landing you can walk away from is a good one

12:13 pm

rubyfoo

my all-time best flying experience was on South African Airways from London to Johannesburg during a meteor shower and the pilot let me sit on the floor in the cockpit to Watch the display. Naturally, it was long before 9/11

12:14 pm

crosshair

wow! that must of been amazing,ruby

12:14 pm

crosshair

yes,now we are lucky they do not strap us down on top of the plane with bungee cords;/

12:15 pm

ChrissieDee

Wow ruby, hope your book includes pictures :)

12:15 pm

rubyfoo

what I never knew before that was that meteors are orange, green and violet, not the white we see from the ground and there were thousands

12:16 pm

rubyfoo

do I have to name names, too, Chrissie?

12:16 pm

ChrissieDee

Did you used to live in the UK ruby?

12:16 pm

crosshair

we had a large meteor shower here in fall of 1993,just before our sun was born,ruby and we were lucky enough to see all those colours as well

12:16 pm

crosshair

son

12:16 pm

rubyfoo

only for one 5 month period

12:16 pm

ChrissieDee

No, no names necessary, but heavy hints should be included

12:17 pm

rubyfoo

no kidding, crossy, I didn't know that. You must have wonderful clear skies

12:17 pm

rubyfoo

do i have to tell what instruments they played or books they wrote?

12:17 pm

rubyfoo

17!

12:17 pm

crosshair

we get lucky sometimes.we missed the one the other night due to cloud cover

12:18 pm

ChrissieDee

Lovely memory crossy

12:18 pm

rubyfoo

there is way too much ambient light here to ever see anything much except jet trails from Geneva airport

12:19 pm

crosshair

inded chrissie,was a warm night and we walked down to the beach,my beloved was about 4-5 month along and we found a good spot overlooking the water and a clear sightline and there was a large overturned row boat on the shore.i laid out our blanket and we lay down on our back and looking up at the night sky while holding hands we watched the show for hours

12:20 pm

crosshair

that is the secret ruby,in the boonies where we were there was no ambient light at all

12:21 pm

crosshair

laid on top of the boat that is,so my beloved did not get sand in her hair

12:21 pm

rubyfoo

what a lovely memory crossy

12:21 pm

crosshair

lol,my memory is like a seive,but what stick are the good things

12:23 pm

crosshair

that is why i play this game,to keep what is left of my grey matter running:)

12:23 pm

ChrissieDee

Crossy, you've made my hair stand on end and my eyes fill up, that's so beautiful

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

I give up but thanks for that story, crossy.

12:24 pm

crosshair

aww,tyvm chrissie

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

12:25 pm

crosshair

12:26 pm

12:27 pm

ChrissieDee

Just popped in for a few minutes, leaving again now, tc ruby and crossy

12:27 pm

crosshair

tc chrissie

12:49 pm

crosshair

mi 6/24= not mr

12:50 pm

dcseain

which ought end in -tress as i was taught. The spelling here is dialectal and not appropriate as i was taught, unless writing in dialect. Yay for Southern educations.

12:51 pm

crosshair

"lol,we will not even get into the deep south word varriants

12:52 pm

crosshair

like" ustacould" as in "i an no longer play the pianna,but i ustacould";))

12:53 pm

crosshair

but then again we say EH a lot,though not quite as much as many are led to think

12:54 pm

crosshair

too many american were scarred by second city tv back in the day and we never recovered eh?

12:56 pm

crosshair

as least we not longer get too many southern plates up here in july asking where the ski hill is with a rack of skis on top of the ole vw microbus

12:58 pm

crosshair

and no longer do we get them coming in and asking where the pump is that dispenses fuel in gallons..after 30 years in the fuel business i could fill a book with stuff just like that

12:58 pm

crosshair

mm,should stop talking to myself..oh heck with it,at least i will never be lonely

1:00 pm

crosshair

i will call the book"tales from the dark side of the gas pump" or "gas jockeys,their nozzles and how they use them"
