Lizlin

Is that term really not used in the US and Canada?

1:17 am

flosey

although it comes up in babble quite often

1:18 am

jillibus

of cpourse, if the evening's menue contained ar8 it might be rather rotten.

1:19 am

jillibus

Not much, I think, liz. More iften it's butt or maybe the donkey.

1:19 am

jillibus

Typo time, I see -- very tired!

1:19 am

Lizlin

grannyrose

oh, sprite, don't think i told you...as a matter of fact, i am sure i didn't.

5:42 am

sprite

5:42 am

grannyrose

ex-daughter-in-law, who is a lawyer, has stepped into the breach and had a st5 word with JT's wife, telling her they need to pay re4.

5:43 am

sprite

oh wow! Now that is good news. That should make them think.

5:43 am

grannyrose

she is going to draw up a contract, and i did tell her to include something along the lines that whatever re4 they pay, will come off the capital if they decide to buy the house.

5:44 am

sprite

that is very nice of you

5:44 am

grannyrose

soooo.....she is going to negative gear it, so i don't have to pay tax.

5:45 am

sprite

awesome! Smart moves, all of them. Am so glad for you, hun. You were worried about it much, I know.

5:45 am

grannyrose

which means i may be able to apply for a disability pension...and retire.

5:46 am

sprite

in all honesty, rose, that is about freakin' time. I know you are still able to work, but it is costing you way too much. Would be much better if you could retire, and if you get bored, do some volunteer work maybe.

5:46 am

grannyrose

spritey, fibromyalgia has gone ballistic...currently, every now and again the nerves in the soles of my feet, make it feel like i am walking on drawing-pins.

5:47 am

sprite

oh that sucks! (pardon my french). I know that feeling. Big but tender *hugs* from me, and make sure you take care of yourself.

5:47 am

grannyrose

lol, spritey, am so looking forward to being able to 'play' in my garden...nomatter what the weather.

5:48 am

grannyrose

thanx, dear friend. it's so great i have you to talk to, hun.

5:48 am

sprite

yes :D That would be awesome. Am keeping my fingers crossed.
Did some gardening myself this week! Got the onions, garlic, broccoli and strawberries into the soil.

5:48 am

sprite

anytime, rose. Love talking to you. Love you, period.

5:48 am

grannyrose

oh, wow, sprite. that's great!!

5:50 am

sprite

seed potatoes are still waiting. Might do them with my daughter today... cleaning out the troughs, then filling for 20% and putting the seed potatoes in. Rest of soil to be added when the plants come up.

5:50 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody

5:50 am

sprite

hiya ruby :)

5:50 am

5:51 am

it is 12.51 here now.

5:51 am

grannyrose

i'm trying to get a watering system up and running. for some reason, the window baskets i have outside mother macs windows never get enough rain, even in winter.

5:51 am

rubyfoo

you and I are on the same time

5:51 am

grannyrose

5:51 am

sprite

good

5:51 am

sprite

darn... phantom" penitent

5:51 am

rubyfoo

rose, you can do volunteer work here, anytime lol

5:52 am

grannyrose

i want to plant them with miniature roses and tulips.

5:52 am

grannyrose

teehee, ruby.

5:52 am

rubyfoo

I wish I could send you someain -- it has been endless here It is probably greener than Ireland, but I would certainly enjoy some sunshine

5:52 am

rubyfoo

sosme rain*

5:53 am

sprite

sounds lovely. You might want to try a different soil, rose. If you mix up... let me see what it is in english...

5:54 am

rubyfoo

speaking of planting potatoes: I have sme tiny "rattes" which were given to e last year but which I didn't use. Now they've sprouted. If I just put them in the groud, will they grow new tiny potatoes?

5:55 am

sprite

1/3 mull, peat dust
1/3 compost
1/3 vermiculite

5:55 am

grannyrose

ruby, cut them into sections, each with a sprout. plant, and you will have a wonderful crop of potatoes

5:56 am

grannyrose

ah, thanx sprite, writing it down now.

5:56 am

rubyfoo

that sounds like an easy way even for me. I am hoping to plant tomatoes next week but it is still awfully cold

5:57 am

sprite

yes they will, ruby. Best thing is to use a big trough or bucket. Fill only the bottom and plant the seed potatoes. Each time the leaves come up, cover them with more soil until the bucket is full. That way you will have lots of potatoes in the whole bucket.

5:57 am

grannyrose

hey, that sounds even better, sprite

5:58 am

rubyfoo

I was just going to stick them in the potager, in with the tomatoes (if only), strawberries and raspberries

5:58 am

sprite

rose, that mixture holds the water, never gets too wet if you make sure there are holes in the bottom of the planters. Works like a charm.

5:58 am

sprite

easy as pie, rose. A friend of ours told me this, and even I made it work. And I do have black thumbs.

5:59 am

sprite

use a bucket or planter, ruby. Or you will be disappointed in the amount of potatoes. They need depth to grow.

6:00 am

rubyfoo

ahah

6:00 am

grannyrose

sprite, the baskets are lined with bark fibre...chosen for the reason that it leaks like a sieve to the plants below, in the ground.

6:00 am

sprite

good watering system for the plants below, grin

6:02 am

sprite

6:05 am

6:11 am

crosshair

why the abdication?

6:12 am

sprite

we will see. Beatrix has always done her very best to erase the rather clumsy image Juliana left behind. And she managed. But she was very aloof. Looks like Willem Alexander will be closer to the people. Maxima is for sure.

6:12 am

rubyfoo

Missing 3 x 8 and 4 x 7!

6:44 am

dammit crossy... now you have me drooling all over my keyboard and it is a powered one!

Now have the en 7 but don't really see how that's a word!

6:46 am

Didn't have the in versions. ty again.

not so odd a word, is it?

6:46 am

Lizlin

Can you clue the es ?

6:46 am

Lizlin

please

6:47 am

Lizlin

No I was thinking about en 7 - the plural of the whole thing. It's either en 6 or it isn't!

6:47 am

sprite

sure. es + hesitation sound + not out + vowel

6:48 am

sprite

ah that one! Yeah, indeed. Maybe the en6 sausage and the en6 bread would enable you to have all en7?

6:48 am

Lizlin

ty - don't remember seeing that word before but have probably forgotten it!@

6:48 am

Lizlin

Hmmm! Not sure about that one!

8:29 am

uusue2

I am ok, mael, headaches are lurking so I am trying to decide if I should take medicine or wait

8:29 am

Judi

I just spent an hour cleaning out a closet and some file cabinets here at work. Eesh. Spring cleaning sucks.

8:33 am

Scrabbler

Good for you to do cleaning.

8:33 am

Judi

It all started because I was scrounging for accordian files. I found two. I need about 20.

8:35 am

mornin babblers!

8:38 am

Judi

Hiya, Eva!

8:40 am

EvaNadine

how goes it, judi?

8:40 am

hurshy

go forth and heal, sc! :)

8:41 am

Judi

It goes, Eva. It goes.

8:41 am

uusue2

hi hurshy and eva!

8:41 am

hurshy

don't you hate when you can't remember if you turned off the oven...

8:42 am

uusue2

and sorry I missed kap, would totally go to her open studio if I were in the neighborhood

8:43 am

Judi

Bummer, Hurshy. Well, as long as there is nothing in the oven - no real harm.

8:43 am

hurshy

if it's on all day? it wouldn't like, set the house on fire? there is a cookie sheet in there with nothing on it.

8:44 am

EvaNadine

sadly, i almost ALWAYS forget to turn off the oven after dinner. thankfully, hubby always checks it because he knows i forget!

8:44 am

Judi

Hmm. That could be a problem then. A smokey one, anyway. Best to go home and check.

8:44 am

uusue2

if it's set at a particular temperature (and not on broil or something) it should be ok, I think

8:44 am

hurshy

not on broil. i PROBABLY turned it off. i mean, it's habit.

8:45 am

hurshy

but i just wish i could remember. normally hubby is home but today he's not so that is why i am worried.

8:45 am

Judi

I'm sure the cookie sheet would be a total loss, tho.

8:45 am

lbdawger

tadone!! finito!!

8:45 am

hurshy

well i don't care about the cookie sheet

8:45 am

uusue2

I left baked potatoes in the oven for two days a little while ago; I'd turned it off but kept forgetting to take them out

8:45 am

uusue2

yay lbd!

8:46 am

lbdawger

lol UU

8:46 am

uusue2

if the cookie sheet doesn't have a nonstick coating or something, and the heat isn't above 350 or so, I think it should be fine

8:46 am

uusue2

by the way, the baked potatoes were fine too :-)

8:47 am

lbdawger

house may smell a bit when you get home Hursh. only thing to catch fire would be the cookie sheet depending on how hot the oven is set.

8:47 am

hurshy

it was 375

8:47 am

Judi

Any neighbors who can check for you?

8:48 am

lbdawger

burnt cookie sheet.

8:48 am

hurshy

no i don't know my neighbors

8:48 am

hurshy

it's PROBABLY off

8:48 am

hurshy

maybe i will go home at lunchtime.

8:48 am

hurshy

to check.

8:49 am

lbdawger

probably a good id4, hursh. just to ea4 your mind

8:49 am

uusue2

well, now you have to tell us all if it was actually on or not :-)

8:49 am

Judi

Yes, now we're all obsessing over your oven. Thanks for sharing!

8:50 am

hurshy

lol

8:51 am

hurshy

hmm the D is kind of hard

8:53 am

uusue2

I have 5 d's; like to get half from each tile but gave up and moved on

8:53 am

hurshy

i have 7

8:54 am

Judi

*Pondering the em9*

8:54 am

hurshy

did you get the vowelly one that is one letter off actress keaton's name?

8:55 am

hurshy

thanks judi!

8:55 am

uusue2

no but now I do, thanks hurshy!

8:55 am

EvaNadine

judi, the EM9 is certainly not full. ;)

8:55 am

uusue2

8:58 am

Mary

ty hurshy

8:58 am

Judi

Ty, Hurshy.

8:58 am

hurshy

i could use V help, i have the easy va4 and a vi4

8:58 am

Judi

Is it hot in here, or is that just Hurshy's oven??

8:59 am

hurshy

*groan*

8:59 am

lynxxx

there is a pesky va7.44 & 8

8:59 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! mouthwash brand

8:59 am

lbdawger

va7/8 rhymes with clothing..ga***** and plur

9:00 am

Mary

va7 & 8 like something you wear starting with a g but change to a v

9:00 am

uusue2

Listerine!

9:00 am

lynxxx

Listerine

9:00 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!

9:00 am

hurshy

and thanks for the v clues

9:00 am

hurshy

i've only seen that spelt with i, not e, before

9:01 am

lynxxx

must be an american spelling

9:01 am

Mary

uusue didn't think your L word would work but tried it anyway lol

9:01 am

hurshy

but i am american!

9:01 am

lynxxx

I know but y'all do spell oddly

9:02 am

hurshy

are there any SM words today?

9:03 am

mixi6

no

9:03 am

uusue2

babble is strange, mary :-)

9:04 am

Judi

We spell differently.

9:04 am

uusue2

anyway I am off for a while, must get the dog out before I leave

9:04 am

hurshy

but the point is if it is an american spelling then i oughta know it and since the point was that i don't know it then i think it's an enable spelling, not an anybody else spelling

9:05 am

Judi

Enable is from a whole other planet, I think.

9:06 am

hurshy

is something wrong with google?

9:06 am

Mary

gotta go doc appt bbl

9:06 am

hurshy

it's not working for me

9:06 am

Judi

Haven't tried Google yet today. Have they been hacked again?

9:06 am

lynxxx

but isn't it that sometimes the odd spellings reflect regional pronunciations? thats what it seems to me

1:18 pm

Anniebrook

I think I mixed up my babblers...sorry, Nef

1:26 pm

MollyL

I thought it was Nef who asked us to pray for a friend's Mom too Annie.

1:27 pm

Nef

I did; but when I replied just after you said that, we had a short power failure and now we're back!

1:28 pm

Nef

Not sure what's going on.

1:29 pm

Nef

Mary Anne was the MIL of my clinic nurse. She ended up having stomach cancer that metastisized to all of her organs and perforated her stomach.

1:29 pm

Nef

The pain meds weren't working at first because of liver and other involvement; and she died 2 days after they took her to the ER.

1:30 pm

MollyL

Sad story

1:31 pm

Nef

Her family was all at the bedside when she died; and it was very peaceful and beautiful according to my nurse.

1:31 pm

Nef

Thank you for all the prayers. (My DIL has been a bit crazy lately; so I'd forgotten about asking for prayers for Mary Anne

1:33 pm

Nef

Speaking of DIL; she just got here. Guess I need to go now.

1:33 pm

MollyL

This is someone who works with you Nef? Or someone who treats you?

1:34 pm

Nef

I'm the director of the prenatal clinic; she's my RN under me.

3:19 pm

cybernan

well done, molly

3:20 pm

MollyL

So they can all meet up with more alias storybook characters?

3:20 pm

cosdem

no thats prob where theyr'e taking regina

3:20 pm

cosdem

ok that too lol

3:21 pm

cosdem

woo hoo found li8

3:21 pm

MollyL

I just hope they lose Tamara and Greg along the way. They are awful.

3:21 pm

cosdem

yes. agreed.

3:22 pm

cosdem

what do u think of Once: Wonderland? I'll watch if Barbara Hershey and Sebastian Stan is in it.

3:22 pm

MollyL

I will probably check it out.

3:23 pm

cosdem

what i understand is itll be like one season only.. and next season will be like once: neverland, then once: oz etc

3:24 pm

cosdem

milkin it too much if u ask me

3:24 pm

MollyL

No consistency.

3:25 pm

cosdem

im hoping they coem up with a good excuse for lacey.. my bet is it's a new spell regina came up with

3:25 pm

cosdem

lazy way out.

3:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

is the series ending?

3:26 pm

cosdem

no... i meant season finale

3:26 pm

MollyL

No TO, they will be spin-offs.

3:28 pm

cosdem

my guess is season 4 and itll end.

3:28 pm

MollyL

The first 2 season finales I have watched have been duds, so I have limited hopes for the rest. (The Good Wife and The Following)

3:28 pm

hokie carla

I'm in the middle of the Lacey episode right now. Need to catch up. Hi, y'all!

3:29 pm

cosdem

then ill not say a word about the evil queen episode anymore! :)

3:29 pm

cosdem

except that i love regina.. :)

3:30 pm

hokie carla

I am behind on Good Wife, too. My recordings always got screwed up on Sun. nights. Have to watch online if I can find it. It used to only be on iTunes.

3:30 pm

MollyL

The last four episodes are on cbs.com

3:31 pm

cosdem

smash was cancelled.

3:31 pm

MollyL

Which I hate because their streaming has five commercials per commercial break.

3:32 pm

MollyL

I'm not surprised about Smash. It's been godawful this season.

3:32 pm

cosdem

i cant find a news source though.. the website i go to for renew/candel updates says it was cancelled..

3:32 pm

hokie carla

I quit The Following. Was just annoyed week after week that the bad guys were so brilliant and a step ahead of the good guys every time. A group that large being that secret, come on.

3:33 pm

cosdem

ok yeah its cancelled. i found news articles confirming.'

3:33 pm

hokie carla

when I've caught up to The Mentalist on cbs.com, there are no commercials, unlike on Hulu and abc. Odd they would have for Good Wife.

3:33 pm

MollyL

I agree Carla, it's pretty lame. Especially all the running around shooting in the dark scenes. Too bad Kevin Bacon was wasted on something that poorly written.

3:33 pm

cosdem

i need to check that show out

3:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Ihaven't watched Days in Days.

3:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

kevin bacon. he has not aged well.

3:34 pm

hokie carla

I read earlier they were moving Smash to Sat. and to its certain death, so I'm not surprised. I'm just now catching up on it on hulu.

3:34 pm

cosdem

ok so smash has not been officially cancelled but debra messing and katharine mcphee has signed on to new series so....

3:35 pm

hokie carla

can anyone spare a clue for em9?

3:35 pm

cosdem

and they are moving it from satrurday to sunday for the finale

3:35 pm

MollyL

Hahahaha...someone gave McPhee another acting job...hahahahaha!

3:35 pm

cosdem

revolution - renewed . im surprised.

3:36 pm

hokie carla

Call me crazy, but I've been enjoying Smash.

3:36 pm

cosdem

lol molly

3:36 pm

MollyL

Revolution has been pretty good since it came back. Despite wooden Charlie.

3:36 pm

cosdem

i cant even watch smash.. despite that my queen is in it

3:36 pm

hokie carla

I also watch Revolution. I like the idea, but the episodes have been hit or miss.

3:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Mad Men. Nurse Jackie

3:38 pm

4:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

i like that there are some older women . like over forty even, that is OLD for tv

4:33 pm

MollyL

Well, it's helpful to the older actresses that none of the younger ones can act. : D

4:33 pm

MollyL

I should say most of the younger ones. There are a few.

5:48 pm

BzznBea

Heard it was in the 90's in DFW today.

5:50 pm

kje

I probably packed horribly. I ran out of time and threw a bunch of stuff in the suitcase in about 20 minutes... pretty sure I have conference stuff but not likely casual stuff

5:50 pm

kje

def NOT ready for 90 degree weather!

5:51 pm

buy a tank top,pair of shorts and flip-flops when you get there:))

5:52 pm

yep, the nice thing is that clothes for warm weather tend to be cheap ; )

5:52 pm

crosshair

i am easy to pack .all i need is my paperwork,a bible,a bottle of bacon vodka and a clean pair of undies and socks my e-book reader and i can travel the globe lol

5:52 pm

5:53 pm

kje

if you're carrying a e-reader, why carry a bible?

5:53 pm

crosshair

the one thing i do not have is the bible laded in e-book format.have not gotten round to it yet

5:54 pm

crosshair

it is amazing how many rough spots you can smooth when travelling if you are toting a bible:)

5:56 pm

kje

depends on where you are traveling. I suspect in some places, a bible would create rough spots!

5:56 pm

crosshair

Ooo, is it a race?

Gotta love Dr Seuss!

7:20 pm

MollyL

Simple philosophy is my favorite.

7:20 pm

smores

:D

7:20 pm

VYCanisMajoris

how simple is simple

7:20 pm

VYCanisMajoris

"what is, is"?

7:21 pm

MollyL

Smores, what did you think of the season finale of Bones? I thought it was pretty lame.

7:21 pm

smores

As an episode, it was alright...season finale..I expected better

7:21 pm

BzznBea

Was last night the season finale?

7:22 pm

MollyL

I expected more. I thought last night was the first of two parts. I was disappointed when I found out that was it.

7:22 pm

Lizlin

Saw you talking about that earlier. Haven't watched Bones but saw you mentioned a Bailey special in Greys. I just saw the episode where the suggestion is made that they buy the hospital. How far behind you am I?

7:22 pm

MollyL

Yes Bea, it was.

7:23 pm

BzznBea

I saw it and didn't realize it was the season finale. So not impressed.

7:23 pm

MollyL

Oh six or seven episodes of Grey's, Liz.

7:23 pm

Lizlin

Lots to look forward to then!

7:24 pm

smores

:)

7:24 pm

MollyL

Sounds like you are still at the beginning of Season 9. We are a few episodes from the end of it.

7:24 pm

MollyL

It's not the same show without Mark.

7:25 pm

Lizlin

We had a long break after Bailey didn't make it to the wedding. It restarted a couple of weeks ago and they're showing double episodes. Yes, miss Mark and little Grey!

7:26 pm

Lizlin

And last night Richard talking about early retirement (don't tell me if that happens) - shows are never the same, when so many of the originals go.

7:27 pm

MollyL

I was watching an old episode the other night where Addison comes back to do a surgery. Mark says to her "lock the door and we'll rip one off for old times sake." That is the kind of Mark humor I miss.

7:27 pm

Lizlin

:)

7:33 pm

Lizlin

Have 3 as words to do with blackened wood or coal - are there more?

7:34 pm

Lizlin

Though strictly speaking one of them isn't!

7:35 pm

MollyL

One more

7:37 pm

MollyL

Strictly speaking, they all do have to do with what you said they have to do with. How is THAT for a sentence?

7:38 pm

Lizlin

ty

7:39 pm

Lizlin

Yes, you're right but more often just means pale rather than covered with ...

7:39 pm

Lizlin

10 left for later. Enjoy your evenings :)

7:39 pm

MollyL

But pale as in the color of what you mentioned.

8:12 pm

BzznBea

Last night I looked at myself. I had two jealous dogs at my side and a baby kitten on my lap.

8:13 pm

BzznBea

I had dog and cat hair, dog slobber and cat poop and litter all over my clothes.

8:14 pm

smores

ewww...the kitty pooped on you?

8:14 pm

BzznBea

Not a pretty sight, I'm telling you.

8:14 pm

BzznBea

No, pooped in the litter box then stepped in it.

8:15 pm

smores

ugh

8:15 pm

smores

mine go outside 90% of the time...thankfully

8:16 pm

BzznBea

Took me 30 minutes longer than usual to get out of the house this morning.

8:16 pm

BzznBea

I can't let a 3 week onl kitten go outside.

8:16 pm

smores

yep...sounds like a baby alright :)

8:16 pm

rururocks

cats don't belong outside

8:16 pm

smores

oh no...of course not Bzzn

8:17 pm

BzznBea

Thankfully, I don't have to bottle feed it.

8:17 pm

smores

I didn't know it was that little..wow

8:17 pm

smores

why not ruru?

8:18 pm

VYCanisMajoris

that's like a cat saying "humans don't belong outside", meanwhile you could be yearning for the smell of fresh air not confined in a 200ft square space

8:19 pm

rururocks

they get attacked by other cats.. are prone to diseases and also don't live as long a lilfe.. Cats are just as happy in a house as out

8:20 pm

VYCanisMajoris

lock me up in a house with nothing to do, i'll go insane. tai to your cat on how it does it, cause i sure as hell couldn't

8:20 pm

BzznBea

If we decide to keep this one, it will stay in the house. Too many feral cats in our neighborhood.

8:20 pm

smores

maybe if they had never been out...but mine couldn't stand being kept in all the time.

8:21 pm

MollyL

They also eat birds, get hit by cars and spray other people's plants and patios.

8:21 pm

BzznBea

What is there for a cat to do outside that it can't do inside?

8:21 pm

VYCanisMajoris

a cat can't fend for itself in an environment designed for humans

8:21 pm

rururocks

exactly

8:22 pm

11:53 pm

flosey

pretty icon, Pini

11:54 pm

Pinikula

...spends the day "helping" me out in the office before heading off to soccer practice.

11:54 pm

11:54 pm

flosey

well Pini, office scenery might as well be pleasant to look at

11:54 pm

stidmama

:-) I couldn't believe he is so big, pini. We'll have to make him an honorary babble camo jacket.

11:54 pm

Pinikula

He's a hot one, flosey!!! LOL

11:54 pm

stidmama

I am thinking blue and green with fringe and sparkly buttons

11:55 pm

Pinikula

You betcha, stid! (not sure about the colors tho...we'll have to work on those!) :)

11:58 pm

Pinikula

great age, flosey!

11:58 pm

flosey

I wouldn't dare take him to a place like that - he'd have everything taken apart to examine

11:58 pm
