PB!

12:26 am

VolleymomDee

hi mel!

12:26 am

melonheadjujube

hi (sheepishly)

12:27 am

melonheadjujube

been a rough week. Son in hospital again. Dual diagnosis. Should be home by the end of the week.

12:27 am

Uneaixoise

so sorry, melon

12:27 am

VolleymomDee

so very sorry, mel

12:27 am

justafreep

that sounds rough indeed

12:29 am

melonheadjujube

He has periods of irritation that escalate to agitation and even rage. The substance use side was hdden from me for a long time because it was happening when he was at his dad's. Accepting the magnitude of the situation was hard. I cried all weekend. But fading up is the start to amking things better.

12:30 am

justafreep

yuk, mel. hope this is the start of a good change, though.

12:30 am

VolleymomDee

The facing up part is a huge step. How old is he now?

12:30 am

melonheadjujube

He's actually "triple dx"â€”learning disability, mental health issues (still no firm dx), and using. I was beginning to worry whether I could handle him at home. this, my sweet considerate kid.

12:30 am

melonheadjujube

12:31 am

melonheadjujube

Meds are being adjusted and the psydoc is finally on board re SSI. Finding appropriate housing is the next step, though not right away. I am so grateful for the Magnolia Clubhouse, a remarkable organization.

12:31 am

VolleymomDee

I would think at this point being in the hospital is a positive.

12:32 am

melonheadjujube

It is. It's actually good that I called 911 and that the ER didn't send him home. The hosp I wanted was full up, but where he is is good enough. I had to bang heads to get some family therapy though. Nothing like a mom who sure she's right... (;

12:32 am

VolleymomDee

Have never heard of them, but glad you have a solid organization to help!

12:33 am

melonheadjujube

They are part of what is called the Clubhouse Model for Psycho-social Rehabilitation. ICCD.org has lots of info. The first such clubhouse was Fountain House in NYC.

12:35 am

melonheadjujube

What is Ã¼ber-cool is that the membership sits on the board and helps run the place, so client and social worker are peers. They have a resale shop, a full commercial kitchen, and provide employment support. It is a beautiful thing, and changed ME as to how I view mental illness.

12:35 am

Uneaixoise

sounds amazing . . .

12:36 am

melonheadjujube

Best thing to happen to him after HS.

12:36 am

VolleymomDee

Fantastic! Do they have an inpatient offering?

12:39 am

melonheadjujube

No. They aren't a hospital; they have a clinic in a back building, but the focus is not medical, it's social. He'll be going there daily when he is discharged. They are right in Cleveland's University Circle, our "other downtown", home to Case western Reserve University, The Cleveland Orchestra, the art museum, hospitals, etc. On Magnolia drive, they occupy two former mansions. A linking atrium is being built.

12:39 am

melonheadjujube

babble and basenotes are two fantastic online communities for providing moral support. I luv you all (:

12:40 am

Lizlin

Hi JIlli :)

1:06 am

puglet

Hi Jilli

1:07 am

flosey

hi everyone

1:07 am

rururocks

was there a toll involved jilli?

1:07 am

gapeach

Hi there, flosey.

1:07 am

puglet

Hi flosey

1:07 am

VolleymomDee

hi flosey

1:10 am

jillibus

there was a toll on my temper, ruru

1:10 am

rururocks

oh uh oh

1:10 am

jillibus

partner made a point of pointing out every mistake I made.

1:11 am

rururocks

oh.. come on.. really?

1:11 am

flosey

and that is darned annoying - and not necessary

1:11 am

Lizlin

Time for another partner!

1:12 am

jillibus

but she is a really good player -- it's just embarrassing.

1:12 am

Lizlin

Can you have a quiet word with her for the future?

1:12 am

rururocks

good player with bad manners

1:13 am

VolleymomDee

Ignoramus... someone needs to teach her some manners.

1:13 am

jillibus

flosey was there -- always pleasant

1:13 am

VolleymomDee

snap ru

1:13 am

Lizlin

That goes without saying :)

1:13 am

jillibus

she's a retired lawyer and thinks people want her advice.

1:15 am

VolleymomDee

If I were the hostess, I would not invite her.

1:15 am

rururocks

I really can't stand know-it-alls

1:15 am

jillibus

dee, it's not a private part -- it's the local duplicate bridge club.

1:15 am

VolleymomDee

grr spent eons looking for the ll 5/10

1:16 am

Lizlin

Ah! So no choice of partners!

1:16 am

VolleymomDee

Too bad, jili. I totally agree, ru.

1:16 am

rururocks

..other than me :D

1:16 am

jillibus

I imagine I'll take even llonger, llooking for any ll that isn't llama

1:17 am

Lizlin

ty Dee - monkeyed first go - but wouldn't have thought to look there!

1:17 am

rururocks

it's a plain in spain.. jilli

1:17 am

rururocks

seen mostly from a train

1:17 am

VolleymomDee

glad to help, so you didn't waste all the time I did :)

1:18 am

rururocks

*giggles at jillllli's joke*

1:18 am

jillibus

oh yes, we play regularly with the partners we choose, if available. She isn't always like that but has a tendency to be annoying, not just to me. But thereisn't a lot of choice -- people like flosey have regular partners, such as Mr flosey or another friend.

1:18 am

rururocks

time to have mr flosey take on this player

1:19 am

flosey

not likely ru

1:19 am

rururocks

:D

1:19 am

Lizlin

Sounds like a good idea - or when you travel up there ru - even if you don't play bridge!

1:19 am

jillibus

ty ruru -- all I have to do now is think of a plain in Spain where it doesn't rain.

1:19 am

Lizlin

Negative ending, Jilli

1:19 am

flosey

there'd be quite a LOUD argument if that were to happen

1:19 am

rururocks

as long as you don't have disdain for the plain in spain where it doesn't rain

1:20 am

jillibus

mr flosey taught her the game, lol!

1:20 am

rururocks

maybe that's what the attorney needs flosey

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

lol, flosey

1:20 am

rururocks

i'm sure he'd have the correct re-tort

1:21 am

flosey

I don't think so jilli, I think she became more aggressive after hearing Audrey

1:21 am

jillibus

did I tell you who supplied "the rain in Spain fall mainly on the plain" to the movie Pygmalion, on which My Fair Ldy was based?

1:22 am

jillibus

flosey -- I didn't mean he taught her aggression -- he taught her the fundamentals

1:22 am

rururocks

as 6

1:22 am

jillibus

1:22 am

rururocks

1:22 am

flosey

no jilli, I think she had been playing with her sister before we met her, I think she took some lessons from Jean

1:23 am

gapeach

Is there rain in the plain in Spain?

1:23 am

jillibus

oh -- I thought you had said she was keen because Mr f had taught her.

1:23 am

Lizlin

Only have one gn - wailing and gn ***ing of teeth!

1:24 am

jillibus

that's the gn I have too, liz

1:24 am

Lizlin

Nope - have 2 now! Bitey insect!

jillibus

back. Nobody was interested in the source of "the rain in Spain"? Well, it was my maternal grandfather and my uncle, his son. They were experts in phonetics and my unlce was the technical advisor for the movie, supplying what GBS didn't.

1:29 am

rururocks

1:30 am

Well today..How are you?

4:38 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Spritey!

4:39 am

zoozzoom

Oh dear, Computer problems again, Sprite?

4:40 am

zoozzoom

Try system restore..to an earlier date , when the computer was working fine.

4:40 am

sprite

yeah. Dem thing started rebooting spontaneously all of a sudden yesterday. It doesn't reboot when I am in safe mode. So probably software related. Scanning now.

4:41 am

sprite

tried that, and several other things. Hoping the deepscan will find something interesting.

4:41 am

grannyrose

*waves* hello sprite, my dear. and zooz, had a good day, not a good beginning, but ginger is a marvellous 'herb'. so4ed me no problems.

4:41 am

sprite

yay for ginger

4:42 am

zoozzoom

Love fresh ginger.

4:42 am

grannyrose

you wouldn't believe it!!! i woke up at 2am, nauseated like you wouldn't believe....

4:42 am

sprite

ginger in moderation for me. Best of all: stem ginger in tea.

4:43 am

sprite

aw rose! How aweful. Indeed, ginger to the rescue then.

4:43 am

zoozzoom

Was it something you ate, Rose?

4:43 am

grannyrose

have ginger tablets here, and melatonin, and magnesium...they all keep me functioning.

4:45 am

sprite

good stuff. What do you use the magnesium for?

4:45 am

grannyrose

nah, zooz. just the dreade fibromyalgia (FM ) playing up. after the nausea, the tremors...then the pain as each muscle cries out because of pain....*sigh*....but did manage a full day's work today.

4:46 am

ivesy3

dr recommended melatonin for me rose,was worried i would feel drowsy next day. any side effects?

4:46 am

grannyrose

sprite, use the magnesium for the tremors....it sure settles them.

4:46 am

zoozzoom

(((Rose))) Does not sound very nice.

4:46 am

sprite

ok! Will remember and try that. The cycle you just mentioned sounds very familiar to me.

4:46 am

grannyrose

ives, no side effects. once you are awake, all is good

4:47 am

sprite

hiya ivesy, no, no side effects. It is the natural sleep inducer.

4:47 am

grannyrose

sprite, magnesium malate available from the US, from the vitacost site. great prices!!!

4:47 am

ivesy3

well mb give it a try, i been up since 2 and have to work all day till 7..

4:48 am

sprite

4:48 am

sprite

Not a nice thought, Ivesy..you must be whacked.

4:49 am

ivesy3

4:50 am

Something strange is going to happen here tomorrow

6:44 am

bichon

It's going to rain. I can't remember the last time that happened

6:45 am

Anniebrook

well needed rain

6:45 am

Lizlin

Really? Do you live in a desert area?

6:46 am

bichon

no, we get, usually about 36" of rain a year. It has been a drought.

6:46 am

Lizlin

In that case I hope the forecasters are right.

6:47 am

bichon

This time of year the grass grows real fast and everything is very lush

6:47 am

Lizlin

Is rain seasonal for you? Here the summer is our wet season.

6:48 am

MollyL

I am intoxicated by all the lush green at this time of year. It's just gorgeous.

6:48 am

bichon

No, we get rain all year round, even in the summer. We don't have a Mediterranean climate

6:49 am

Lizlin

I used to love the bright greens of grass and new leaves in Spring in the UK.

6:52 am

bichon

I'm just hoping this isn't the "new normal"

7:03 am

*an article

7:24 am

Trifioso

the ta 4.5 always makes me chuckle....when I was in college, in a chemistry class, the prof told us to add a "ta*" of sodium to a formula. One of the foreign students was puzzled at the word, and asked him how much a ta* was. The prof told him it was "1 over a sh*tload" which of course caused an uproar of laughter

7:25 am

Trifioso

Yes, molly, that was indeed unfortunate

7:26 am

MollyL

: D Must remember that definition of ta*

How wonderful to hear that the three young ladies that went missing over decade ago in America have been found safe.

8:46 am

MollyL

Isn't that an amazing story? I shudder to think what they have been through.

8:48 am

zoozzoom

Me too, Molly..i know one of the young ladies has a child of 6 now..so the news has reported.

9:06 am

MollyL

I'm so tired of the sick, demented twists who perpetrate this kind of horror on people.

10:02 am

hurshy

nick kristof said their families must be relieved. i'm not sure relief is the right word when you consider the psychological damage they surely have.

10:05 am

hurshy

whoops i was an hour late to that conversation!

10:07 am

MollyL

I guess anything is better than dead, but some things...not much.

10:08 am

rururocks

really observant neighbors huh?

10:09 am

hurshy

my officemate once had someone break into a hotel room she was sleeping in, and considered jumping out the window to her death rather than be raped. (turned out it was a little old woman thief so it was fine)

10:11 am

MollyL

People pay so little attention to their surroundings these days. It's sad.

10:11 am

hurshy

honestly though, if they were quiet usually, what were the neighbors supposed to notice?

10:13 am

rururocks

well.. I hope they throw a hefty jail sentence for those jerks

10:14 am

hurshy

i think if you psychologically scar someone for life, you should get life in prison.

10:15 am

hurshy

rape, child abuse, etc

10:15 am

rururocks

I concur

10:16 am

hurshy

i don't know why the sentences for these things can be lighter than i think they should be when on the other hand we have ridiculously overdone sentences for drug possession

10:23 am

hurshy

next to P's, S's are the worst

10:26 am

this grid is a tad evil imho

10:29 am

crosshair

aka "pulling a peri" :))

10:29 am

right although 10s Gu was so vague that it only VERGED on pulling a peri

10:30 am

i hope to do something earth shattering with bacon that will change the planet

10:33 am

Good luck with that. It looks like everything that can be done with bacon has been done...twice.

10:33 am

seems so:((

10:34 am

Good morning all.

10:34 am

howdy,judi

10:35 am

Was at a resturant the other night. They offered bacon Pop Rocks as part of a dessert.

10:35 am

MollyL

I didn't know they still made Pop Rocks.

10:35 am

crosshair

lol

10:36 am

Judi

*secretly loves Pop Rocks*

10:38 am

crosshair

crossy secretly loves that purple thrills gum they used to make and you can still find every once in a while

10:39 am

MollyL

I am so grossed out. There are recipes on the internet for Bacon Pixie Stix.

10:39 am

crosshair

lol

10:39 am

Judi

Don't recall ever seeing purple thrills gum.

10:40 am

crosshair

yes indeed,judi,was famous for being the gum that tastes like soap:)

10:40 am

MollyL

Ew

10:40 am

Judi

Was that just a Canadian thing?

10:41 am

crosshair

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrills

10:41 am

Judi

Why would anyone want to chew something that tastes like soap? Yeech.

10:42 am

crosshair

was not really soap,as the article will tell you.dunno,was a kid thing

10:43 am

crosshair

seems the rosewater additive gave this impression to some

10:44 am

MollyL

Big Buddy Grape Flavor...a big wad of gun shaped like a ruler. Now that was good grape gum.

10:44 am

Judi

YAY, Big Buddy! Now that I remember.

10:44 am

crosshair

good lord,we alos chewed piles of various gums.it is a wonder we have any teeth left

10:44 am

Judi

*teeth rot just thinking about it*

10:46 am

MollyL

I never understood the liking for Beeman Gum that tasted like cloves.

10:46 am

crosshair

have seen that gum up here,but it is rare

10:46 am

Judi

I think it was one of those things that hid the smell of alcohol during prohibition or some such.

10:48 am

crosshair

we did not have that problem:)))

10:48 am

Somewhere there is a website that features the grossest candy and gum ever created. Can't remember the name of it, of course.

The Old Time Candy site is pretty cool. They even sell age appropriate gift boxes.

10:50 am

Judi

That is a cool site. Dangerous, but cool.

Well, this grid is a drag (again). I'm home taking care of a sick kitty. So, I guess I'll go do some chores and hope there isn't any more kitty messes to clean up. Poor little thing.

Contrary to what you will find when you click on the ?...the first fa4 means "long ago" in Gaelic and is the traditional start to Gaelic faerie stories. It's also the name of a chain of great Irish bars. : D

1:41 pm

EvaNadine

i love the one here in DC< Molly. :)

1:43 pm

MollyL

I've only been to the one in Annapolis, but I think they are all basically the same, give or take.

1:44 pm

EvaNadine

basically, yes. i think ive been to both. and for that matter, ive also been to the irish channel here in DC and the one in crofton.

1:46 pm

dcseain

fa4 is also a dance from Portugal related to, but distinct from, flamenco

1:47 pm

MollyL

Eva gets around : D

1:49 pm

EvaNadine

i do. i like my irish bars. ;)

1:50 pm

MollyL

I keep dreaming that they will open a Fa4 in Gaithersburg. But Irish bars never seem to do well there.

2:23 pm

could I have a hint for the fo 6, what does it mean? pls

2:23 pm

flosey

interesting Une, I didn't realize iris had a smell

2:24 pm

Uneaixoise

yep . . . and my yellow ones are really pretty but stinky :-)

2:24 pm

flosey

means strong, powerful, firm,

2:24 pm

bichon

I didn't realize they had a smell either

2:25 pm

Uneaixoise

fo4 strong + I am you are he **

2:25 pm

flosey

I tried growing them here but something must have eaten the root

2:25 pm

Uneaixoise

the ones I have from my grandmother's garden smell very sweet

2:25 pm

flosey

all I have left is a picture of 2 beautiful pink blooms - must look for it

2:26 pm

bichon

yes, Irises get a grub. You have to dig up the tuber and soak it in a mild bleach solution to kill the grubs and then replant

2:26 pm

Uneaixoise

they like to sit on top of the soil and bake in the sun

2:26 pm

bichon

I mostly like the Japanese Irises

2:26 pm

Uneaixoise

like them too!

2:27 pm

Uneaixoise

mine are in too much shade

2:27 pm

flosey

ah, then, they are an open invitation to whatever finds the root tasty

2:28 pm

hi all. I have just discoverd lemon curd and I love it.

2:30 pm

periwinkle

Also Hagan-Daz is making gelato. I tried the limencello. it is delish.

2:32 pm

bichon

I have never had any problems with my Japanes Irises. They like sun, but I haven't experienced grubs. They multiply, so I have them all over the place

2:38 pm

Uneaixoise

lemon curd is fabulous!!

2:38 pm

periwinkle

indeed! I have just used it on raisin toast. what do you use it on Une?

2:38 pm

periwinkle

I bought it at Trader Joes

2:39 pm

periwinkle

it would be good with puffed pastry

2:39 pm

MollyL

Peri, try putting lemon curd on top of your blueberry muffins before you bake them.

2:39 pm

flosey

it's very easy to make yourself

2:40 pm

periwinkle

really, I would not have thought of that, Molls

2:40 pm

periwinkle

really, flosey. I must try to make it then

2:41 pm

periwinkle

I could give it as a gift. a friend just moved into a new apt

2:41 pm

periwinkle

or I could keep it for my self :-)

2:42 pm

periwinkle

I ventured out of my comfort zone in collage class and made one that was not blue. this one has oranges, reds and some yellow

I think the babble site was down for a while..as i could not get on for a while.

4:37 pm

MollyL

This place has been quirky ever since the server switch.

4:37 pm

zoozzoom

Thats true.

4:38 pm

torgone

Maybe someone is not tipping their server

4:44 pm

Buggie

Hmmm, must be a cultural thing. I've heard of tipping cows but it's just cruel to do that to waiters

4:44 pm

MollyL

Always tip your server. Otherwise you get weak drinks and warm beer.

4:45 pm

MollyL

Boy howdy Tor, let's go on out and tip us some cows.

4:47 pm

torgone

Yee haw!

4:50 pm

lilliann

buggie means tipping over a sleeping cow as tipping means different things :)

4:52 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Torgone & Lilliann :-)

4:52 pm

lilliann

by the way buggie, that's a beautiful cat, may need a manicure :)

4:52 pm

lilliann

4:53 pm

lilliann

4:54 pm

lilliann

anyway, i'm shutting my gob and going back to lurke mode as there is a craft programme with martha stewart things on and i want to know how to use my new products i've treated myself to

4:57 pm

MollyL

Drive by L

4:59 pm

lilliann

am back :) i thought cow tipping was getting rid of dead cows illegally :) back to lurk mode

4:59 pm

Buggie

thanks lilliann, he loves to be admired :)

5:00 pm

lilliann

he certainly looks like he does buggie.i take it he doesn't get spoilt much :)

5:02 pm

Buggie

Spoilt? Oh never. Nope. No I said. Oh sheesh I can't resist...

5:04 pm

zoozzoom

And fireworks for me.

5:05 pm

Buggie

well done, I'n about to give up

5:06 pm

zoozzoom

Any clues needed before i go anyone?

I love how L keeps popping in and out. She's like Jill.

5:17 pm

saanichcat

sunny but alittle cooler. really hard on the little seedlings. spirits raised though, we needed some sun.

5:17 pm

stidmama

the hot of yesterday was pretty intense. I should go to the house and water this evening, I think. I was too tired yesterday to make the trek out.

5:18 pm

lilliann

i was going to give hugs to jill but she gave special ones to molly, so now i'm sulking!

5:20 pm

5:20 pm

wildfires already stid? I like the day weather but wish it would rain in the nights

5:20 pm

Jillyjill

Hello miss molly ;)

5:21 pm

Jillyjill

Dang stiddy, only heard about the fires in CA...

5:21 pm

stidmama

about 60 acres in the closest one, stanch. We don't normally have to worry about such things until July or August

5:21 pm

MollyL

*Quickly waves hi to Jill before she pops out again*

5:21 pm

lilliann

repeating yourself...really, like you don't get heard the first time molly :)

5:22 pm

saanichcat

THAT is scary news. I also live in the woods and each dry days brings anxieties.

5:22 pm

MollyL

*Hands little satin sulky pillows to L*

5:23 pm

lilliann

well, i hope the wild fire stays away :)

5:23 pm

stidmama

sorry, I was babbling before I increased my font size. dumb spellcheck working against me again...

5:24 pm

stidmama

I hope so too lilliann -- the wind shifted a few hours ago so it's not as awful as it was.

5:24 pm

saanichcat

Because we are still getting dewy mornings, many out here are fooled. all they have to do is dig an inch and it's bone-dry. I have prepared evacuation plans now for years. Involves boats and a lot of friends!

5:24 pm

lilliann

"throwing sulky pillows back but keeping one as i like the colour and feel "

5:24 pm

stidmama

okay, my last blank tile is that B... any nudges for me?

5:25 pm

stidmama

yes, the soils are quite dry, and usually they still clump and sog until mid-june around here

5:25 pm

saanichcat

did you get br 4/7?

5:25 pm

phandmd

5:26 pm

lilliann

i have bh4 and 5 which is b and wooden structure

5:26 pm

stidmama

got them all!

5:26 pm

stidmama

I like the champagne br, which I think means "dry"

5:26 pm

phandmd

good for you!

5:27 pm

lilliann

that's brut isn't it stid?

5:27 pm

saanichcat

you are right stid! A little champers would be lovely right now

5:27 pm

stidmama

*gently puts lilliann in PB with choclits*

5:28 pm

stidmama

ah yes, with strawberries in it... my strawberries are blooming already!

5:28 pm

Jillyjill

My strawberries are not coming back well ...*heavy sigh*

5:29 pm

lilliann

i thought you meant the bh was dry for champagne..lol i forgot the br was in the grid.oh well, i'll get myself cosy and stuff myself full and drink dry champagne :)

5:29 pm

stidmama

wonder why not, jilly -- have they been in the same place a long time? they can deplete the micronutrients after a while.

5:29 pm

Jillyjill

Ursh is in da grid!

5:29 pm

Jillyjill

No stiddy, put the bed in 2 years ago...

5:30 pm

stidmama

Next year, I will test our garden soil again. It was time already, but that's on hold for now. Too many plants heeled in! you should have seen how the bluebells took off after I put them in the lovely loamy veggie beds.

5:30 pm

lilliann

my strawberries are growing but now flowering yet but alot of the trees around us don't even have leaves on yet.apparently we are atleast 4 weeks behind with our plants and trees

5:30 pm

stidmama

oh, probably not that then -- do you notice any mold or discoloration around the leaves? there is a slime mold that sometimes attacks the strawberries around here.

5:31 pm

phandmd

I just checked our local pick your own farm says strawberries should be ready to pick 5/20

5:31 pm

phandmd

I was hoping for sooner than that...

5:31 pm

lilliann

i take my strawberries out every year and get rid of all the dead leaves and then re-plant them in fresh compost

5:31 pm

Jillyjill

May be an issue of dryness like everything else...just NOT used to having to water so early in season

5:31 pm

MollyL

Probably due to the chillier than normal Spring here, Phan.

5:31 pm

stidmama

mmmm. that would be so nice to have to memorial day over sponge cake, with home-made ice cream... *drifts into dream land*

5:32 pm

phandmd

yes, I imaginee.

5:32 pm

Jillyjill

At risk of living up to Molly's description of me...heading out to run downtown. Back in a bit...nbt/nbs....bbl *poof*

5:32 pm

phandmd

I want to make strawberry jam for my nursing instructors to give as a thank you gift at graduation which is 5/23...

5:32 pm

lilliann

bye jill, tc hin(hugs)

5:33 pm

MollyL

Whooosh...that was Jill, ladies and gentlemen.

5:33 pm

stidmama

later jilly!

5:33 pm

stidmama

they will love that -- what a thoughtful present!

5:34 pm

stidmama

there is a toddler throwing an insistent tantrum in the next building over... I think it's nap time. LOL for the parent, perhaps, if not for the kid!

5:34 pm

phandmd

yes, but that really puts a rush on things, That whole week I have to be at school all day for NCLEX review. I am going to have to ask someone to pick for me.

5:35 pm

stidmama

nursing continuing license exam? *curious about acronym*

5:36 pm

phandmd

have to look it up

5:37 pm

phandmd

National Council liscensure exam

5:37 pm

MollyL

Oh wow, I wish I could get someone to pick for me. My strawberry picking days are behind me. Too much wear and tear on the back.

5:38 pm

phandmd

agreed. I have a neighbor that might be willing, I also have my daughter in town from San Diego for a visit, maybe she will do it.

5:38 pm

stidmama

ah. yes, that's going to be intense, I am sure - hopefully though the review will feel very simple because you are that prepared and brilliant. "-)

5:39 pm

MollyL

I get fresh strawberries from the farmer's markets when they are in season.

5:39 pm

phandmd

hopefully! :^)

5:39 pm

phandmd

But to make the quantity of jam I need to make, that would be too pricey. Picking your own is a good bit cheaper.

5:39 pm

lilliann

i'll lob you some of mine over when they grow molly, along with my homegrown raspberries, bluberries and blue berries, so i'd take cover and also wear protective clothing from staining :P

5:40 pm

stidmama

"fatose" every dieter's worst nightmare?

5:40 pm

5:40 pm

stidmama

I wish I could see your lovely garden, lilliann!

5:42 pm

MollyL

*Holds umbrella (that's brolly for you L) upside down to catch berries*

5:42 pm

lilliann

my back garden doesn't look so lovely as i can't get into it with my chair now so hopefully this year sometime i'll be able to get it levelled for me so i can have planters i can reach.normally alot of my fruit goes to the birds as i ask my daughter to pick them but she doesn't.so i now grow alot of fruit and veg in tubs in the front yard as i can get around that

5:43 pm

MollyL

Raised beds would be perfect for you L. Maybe your husband can build you some.

5:44 pm

stidmama

you need the key to the secret garden, lilliann -- where you will find a swing and magical plants just waiting for your hand to bring them back to life. :-) and raised beds for planting wouldn't hurt! LOL

5:44 pm

lilliann

and i love the fact that now i can get blue currant and rasperries that grow in tubs, so i'm going to have to treat myself this year to some. i have apple/pear and plum miniature trees in pots but didn't get any fruit last year so hopefully this year but with our bad winter i'm not holding out for much

5:46 pm

stidmama

I hope the trees in the pots made it through... I really love my fruit trees.

5:46 pm

lilliann

he's never here molly so he did say last year that we'd get someone in to re-do the garden for me. i want to keep some grass and the rest will have to be on 3 levels with ramps and raised beds all around. i need to design what i want

Nef

6:06 pm

bookwomen

6:06 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

sorry, BW, the sun is in michigan and we're keeping it LOL

6:07 pm

Nef

I'm a scatterbrain today; just can't settle in to doing anything for any length of time.

6:07 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ty nef, looking

6:07 pm

MollyL

Nef, I think there is only one book of the Bible that starts with ps : D

6:07 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ah, got it. seems easy once you know what it is 8-)

6:07 pm

Nef

yep, but there are lots of ps'es in it! :-)

6:08 pm

Nef

6:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

6:09 pm

lilliann

sorry gwen, i'm getting sidetracked but glad you're ok and that your books are safe. are you brain washing us or something:)

6:09 pm

lilliann

we are all in that same boat gwen

6:10 pm

bookwomen

we are still having winter for us. still waiting for summer or spring. just soggy and cold

6:10 pm

Nef

pretty much the same here, Gwen; except the winter lasted til last Friday and Summer started on Monday (the weekend was just so-so

6:10 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

lillian, yup, my books are fine, thanks 8-)

6:11 pm

bookwomen

firewords. this grid has some strange words

6:11 pm

Nef

6:11 pm

MollyL

We have Spring here. Haven't had any summer temperatures yet.

6:11 pm

lilliann

saying that, we've just had 3 days of nice weather and now it's going to rain and be cloudy and cold again

6:11 pm

6:12 pm

Nef

YAY, bookwomen!!! WTG!!!

6:12 pm

MollyL

Not sure what part of Michigan you are in Gwen, but my friend near Detroit says it's only been in the 60s and 70s.

6:12 pm

Nef

Wow, we're in MN and we had 5 inches of snow 8 days ago.

6:12 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

we always assume the southern states have plenty of warm weather, but i suppose you're up in the mountains maybe?

6:13 pm

Nef

and it's been 80 (F) todayhere

6:13 pm

lilliann

i've been getting confused with BW and BDG :)

6:13 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i'm near detroit. we had one winter-coat day followed by 80 degrees (F), but i don't remember if that was last week or the week before

6:13 pm

bookwomen

no we are supposed to be in the Sunny South but it is eluding us now.

6:14 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

found the 7, woot

6:14 pm

Nef

I was still wering my winter coat to church on Sunday (It's a leather jacket; so that wasn't too weird; espcially since the kid next to me was in shorts and flip flops)

6:15 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

lol nef

6:15 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

we like to joke that 50s is t-shirt weather, but not for me

6:15 pm

bookwomen

Well I am off to get under the covers and read/nap Good night everyone. good luck on the grid it is a tricky one.

6:16 pm

Jillyjill

SEe you later BDG...cuddle away!

6:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

night, BW

6:16 pm

Nef

I am not fooling: once the temp gets above 40 or so here; kids stop wearing their winter coats. I've seen kids going to school in just their T shirts for over 3 months now

6:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

kids these days . . . lol

6:17 pm

MollyL

Sorry Nef, but that is just abnormal. And I see it here too. My next door neighbor wears shorts all year round. Even when it's in the 20's.

6:20 pm

Nef

When my kids were young; I insisted that they wear their jackets til the temp was above 60 degrees (F). They always complained I was the Only Mom who did that

6:21 pm

MollyL

You weren't, I did too.

6:22 pm

Jillyjill

Mine tried to pull that on me too nef

6:22 pm

Nef

LOL! We just didn't live close enough I guess. ;-)

6:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i assume the "only mom" comment came from a brief survey of 2 or 3 friends, not a scientific sample LOL

6:22 pm

MollyL

They had light jackets for that kind of weather though.

6:22 pm

Jillyjill

I would tell them, "I used to think I had the meanest mother in the world...I was wrong...YOU do."

6:22 pm

Nef

yeah; I didn't make them wear heavy winter jackets that long.

6:23 pm

Nef

Wonderful ine, Jilly (wish I'd heard it before now!)

6:23 pm

Jillyjill

ga6 plz?

6:23 pm

MollyL

Parents these days are rarely home when their kids leave for school, let alone monitor what they wear on school days. Sad.

6:24 pm

Jillyjill

nm

6:24 pm

Nef

ga 4/6 + you and me together

6:24 pm

Nef

true.

6:24 pm

Jillyjill

but ty nef

6:25 pm

lilliann

i tell the bairn to put a coat on when it is cold and she tells me, 2you're cold mam, not me". my huuby is the same, he wears short sleeved shirts and t/shirts all year round and even goes out in one when it snow!!

6:25 pm

Jillyjill

On the other hand, I used to roll up my skirts after I left the house...some things just really don't change

6:25 pm

MollyL

I went to Catholic school. I was the Queen Of The Skirt rollers.

6:26 pm

MollyL

Again, sorry but going out in the snow in a short sleeved shirt is not normal.

6:27 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...we would have been fast chums Molly!!

6:27 pm

lilliann

i used to have a different skirt on under the one i was suppose to wear but change my shoes up the road.my mam knew about my shoes, as if she got me before i went out the door she'd ask to look in my bag. after that i left them in my locker.she never knew about the skirt though :)

6:27 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

all the best people are not normal LOL

6:28 pm

lilliann

he's always hot molly.what can i say, he's 'hotstuff' lol

6:28 pm

lilliann

6:29 pm

Nef

I really was a good kid! Didn't DARE to disobey! (My aunt was County Supt. of schools, and I swear she could see us in our classrooms from her office window across the street. She knew what we did before the nuns called to tell what naughty thing my older sister did all the time

6:29 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

peter jackson used to go out in all kinds of weather wearing shorts. and he makes great movies. 8-)

6:30 pm

lilliann

and i went to an all girls school :) i just didn't want to get picked on plus i wanted to look fashionable.my mam always told me that i could have any clothes/shoes i wanted out of school but in school it had to be what she chose...i din't mind that but her choice was awful!!

6:30 pm

lilliann

i like that song :)

6:30 pm

MollyL

That's okay Nef. I did enough disobeying for the both of us. : P

6:31 pm

Nef

6:31 pm

lilliann

6:32 pm

Nef

I need to leave for a while now; Happy Babbling, Everyone! Dh, and some friends and I are going to go play Bingo!

6:32 pm

Nef

6:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

6:35 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i just found this: sa6, a pinkish edible fishie

6:35 pm

MollyL

Okay now I'm laughing about Nef playing Bingo. As part of a running joke on another board, I have a vast collection of "Bingo lady" images. : D

6:36 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

6:36 pm

lilliann

6:38 pm

kje

6:38 pm

MollyL

I know, I thought that was funny too. : D

6:39 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

6:39 pm

lilliann

sorry, you're under the weather and hope you feel beter soon but you still made me laugh :)

6:40 pm

lilliann

Book Doctor Gwen

6:46 pm

MollyL

Nemo!!! Oh wait, he's orange.

6:46 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

this fish is poison!

6:48 pm

MollyL

One fish, two fish, pink fish, blue fish

6:49 pm

MimiCat

Love this fish...and it's called something entirely different when eaten with cream cheese on a bagel.

6:49 pm

MimiCat

To me, they are more orange than pink.

6:49 pm

MollyL

See, told ya. : P

6:49 pm

lilliann

when we were on holiday in egypt a few years ago.the bairn caught a puffer fish and then when it was brought on board the boat it puffed up and the guy said i'll put it back, so he dived in the water with it and i wondered why he had a knife, then he came back and said it swam away and when i said'why did you have a knife' he said i had to pop it so the air would come out...so we were all happy, thinking that this fish swam away and then after wards my hubby said to me'what do you think he did with the knife, he can't pop a fish without killing it'. ! the man didn't want to say anything in fornt of the bairn

6:50 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ewwwwww

6:51 pm

MimiCat

I second that ewwww!

6:51 pm

lilliann

i felt upset and so stupid, thinking, well i didn't think he could :) apparently once puffer fish puff out they will die. i don't know how true that is

6:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

poor little (and/or inflated) fish!

6:52 pm

MimiCat

Nope, not true, lilliann...they can puff up and deflate over and over.

6:52 pm

lilliann

hi mimi

6:52 pm

MimiCat

Hello, dear.

6:52 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

it's bees that die when they sting, so they can only sting once

6:52 pm

MollyL

That is about as funny as a tourist like friend of ours telling us that they saw the "chimney sweeps" on top of The White House.

6:53 pm

lilliann

i thought so mimi, but this fish had puffed out so much and these men do fishing trips every day of their lives so maybe it had puffed too much and that was the best thing to do

6:53 pm

MollyL

Or maybe he just didn't want to kill the fish in front of the little girl L.

6:54 pm

MimiCat

Sorry, lil, but they were either lying or stupid...killed it for no good reason...hate that.

6:54 pm

lilliann

maybe, but he never brought it back up to the surface, unless he has a hid-e-hole under the see full of dead fish

6:55 pm

lilliann

no, he never told us he'd killed it. he said it swam away

6:55 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

maybe he was lying about "popping" the fish, hoping you were an ignorant tourist

6:55 pm

MollyL

Sure L, sure. You just keep believing that happy, shiny story. : P

6:55 pm

lilliann

it was my husband that told me he's killed it

6:55 pm

lilliann

well, i like to live in a shiny rainbowy world :)

6:56 pm

MollyL

<---Has some swamp land in Florida she want's to sell L

6:56 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i haven't traveled much but there are people who mess with tourists and i've met them LOL

6:57 pm

lilliann

aye, i'd buy snow off the blooming eskimos! glad i have my husband as he's no fool :0

6:57 pm

lilliann

my hubby always knows when someone is talking crap

6:58 pm

MollyL

*Hands L her sparkly rose colored glasses*

6:58 pm

MimiCat

The puffers get even sometimes, though, when the Japanese don't prepare them properly and someone dies because they're poisonous. It's considered a delicacy called fugu....stupid, in my opinion, to risk that.

6:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

then there was the summer camp counsellor who picked up an operculum and said it was a fish scale . . .

6:59 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(yes, i know my opercula)

6:59 pm

lilliann

when we've been to egypt before there were 2 animation guys who were egyptian and one said he was from mexico and the other said he was from jamaica.i didn't believe them but alot of women did. if they were mexican or jamaican they would have been better off staying in those countries than trying to work in egypt

7:00 pm

MollyL

L, let me forward you the email I just got that was from "Ned" that said, "I think which I am dying and would want to give you my estate. Click on the link below."

7:00 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no, you want a job in animation these days you go to korea

7:03 pm

lilliann

well, i'm not that gullible molly.no-one gives anything away for free

7:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i once made one hilarious fake email out of all the worst parts of all the scam emails i got within a week. great time waster that was lol

7:05 pm

lilliann

i just like to think the best of people, but i'm not so stupid, i normally know when someone is taking the pi**, but sometimes some stories can be plausible and i suppose it also depends on what mood i'm in and whether i'm listening or not :)

7:06 pm

MollyL

Sadly, the really slick talkers can fool just about anyone. As in the Nancyboy scam.

7:07 pm

MimiCat

Very lovely quality to have, lil.

7:07 pm

lilliann

i take it you kept it for yopurself gwen and not sent it out

7:08 pm

MimiCat

Must go for now. Hugs all around.

7:08 pm

lilliann

yes molly, i think alot of us learnt from that

7:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no, i haven't sent it out, but i could post it on my profile here . . . hmmmm . . .

7:08 pm

lilliann

it is mimi but not so much now :)

7:08 pm

lilliann

bye mimi, tc

7:09 pm

MollyL

Gwen, if you post it in your profile here, and include a PayPal address, you could make some serious money.
: D

7:09 pm

lilliann

yes, that would be good gwen, so we can see how many would believe it.i'll have to remind myself that it isn't true though as with my memory i'd forget :)

7:10 pm

MimiCat

Hey, I'm gullible, too...when I first came to Babble I actually believed Molly was 6.

7:10 pm

MollyL

See, L will send you your first 50 bucks.

7:10 pm

lilliann

i must admit, i can't believe people would send money.i never send money

7:11 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

okay, i am pasting the horrifying thing into my profile. just a sec

7:11 pm

lilliann

i might say i would, but i never do

7:11 pm

MollyL

Oh you should have heard the sob story L. It was enough to make a cynic weep.

7:12 pm

lilliann

it looks good to others if you say you'll send money but i'm not that gullible. i only send to proper charities and i know they are proper registered ones

7:13 pm

lilliann

i never knew about the money side of it molly. i must have totally missed that

7:13 pm

MollyL

The thing is, you never know about what you hear on the internet. People can make things up and get you to believe just about anything, if you are so inclined. Unfortunate, but true.

7:14 pm

lilliann

until in read it on here recently

7:14 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hi there, spam posted

7:16 pm

lilliann

i know.i'm trying to drum that into the bairn's head.she's not allowed on any chat rooms or have her own fb account even though alot of her friends do.i let her play some of my games on fb but i'm always around and see what she's upto.maybe i'm mooly coddling her too much but i've watched the news too many times with bairns gone missing and then found dead when they've been speaking to people their own age apparently but not

7:16 pm

MollyL

Clerification...ahahahaha!

7:17 pm

Jillyjill

Back again ;)

7:17 pm

MollyL

You keep right on doing what you're doing L. Too bad more parents don't do that.

7:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

it's wise to be cautious about internet sharing

7:18 pm

MollyL

I just found it sad that this group of mostly nice people got taken when it came to donating money. And there was no way to say anything about it, because the person in question was a big favorite here.

7:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

uno

7:19 pm

lilliann

people will aswell gwen. i'm not THAT gullible. it's the same as when you get the lottery letters from spain that you've won some moeny and give your bank details so thay can put it into your account.....mmmm,ok...NOT i've never done the spanish lottery and send me a cheque

7:20 pm

lilliann

wb jill...again...lol :0

7:20 pm

lilliann

i must admit, i couldn't believe who was behind it

7:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i missed what you're talking about. who scammed money from babblers???

7:22 pm

lilliann

i'll let molly explain gwen, she's better at it

7:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

F I R E W O R K S a t l a s t

7:23 pm

lilliann

yay!wtg gwen!! :)

7:24 pm

MollyL

Short version: A former poster here was posting woe is me stories about family financial problems. Another poster said "I am raising money for her, to donate, here is a PayPal address". Alas. the poster lived in a country that has US currency exchange issues. So people started sending checks to the "collector". The PayPal money went through (according to the story) but the checks did not. So anyone who sent a check to the collector lost their money. Some to the tune of some big bucks.

7:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

egad. are you unwilling to share names?

7:25 pm

MollyL

Lets just leave it at that for now.

i'm sick of drinking tonic water now(slim line) i've just finished my 5th litre bottle. i'm surprised i'm not burping for england, but it's better than drinking wine i suppose

7:39 pm

lilliann

lol molly :)

7:39 pm

MollyL

Really, are you really sure?

7:40 pm

Jillyjill

Have 84 of them molly...want the rest?

7:41 pm

7:42 pm

lilliann

i only have 61 so can you give me the 23 i don't have, but i'm not giving you any letters, you'll just have to guess jill :0

7:43 pm

Jillyjill

They had a breakfast for Nurses Week, most of my allotted 1200 calories went there...*sigh* sipping on lemon water will be it for me tonight...

7:43 pm

MollyL

Your body is a temple and you are worshiping it with tonic water??

7:44 pm

MollyL

WooT WooT WooT...Jill is up to 1200 calories. Livin' the high life!

7:45 pm

Jillyjill

LOL lilliann *puts on her Carnac the Magnificent hat*

7:46 pm

Jillyjill

Cannot believe sl5/16 is a real word... *Pats monkeys on head*

7:46 pm

lilliann

i'm having 1200 calories aswell but it's been slipping a bit lately

7:47 pm

lilliann

i thought that too jill about the sl5/6

7:47 pm

Jillyjill

It is very easy to do lilliann, way too easy...

7:47 pm

lilliann

well, tonic water is better than wine and vodka, but i know what i'd prefer

7:48 pm

lilliann

i hate plain water but will drink sparkling with a slice of lemon but tonic water has more of a tast even though it has more calories

7:52 pm

Jillyjill

*lifts lemon water toast to lilliann*

7:52 pm

MollyL

Changing how you eat or drink is a lot like changing anything else. The more you focus on what you are "not having" the harder it is. Just a thought.

i use to like a glass of wine every night, now i limit it to the weekend, so it is something to look for ward to so i'm not bothered about not having it every night

7:58 pm

Shirlockc

su6?

7:58 pm

lilliann

the last couple of weks though, i've changed from the 1200 calories to eat what i want but i've had a day or 2 of basically detoxing and just having about500/600 calories a day where i've drunk loads of water and eaten little bits throughout the day and i must admit i've felt better for it.

7:59 pm

lilliann

i don't have it yet, sorry, shirlock

7:59 pm

Jillyjill

su6=same as an arab prince but change last vowel to single hump

7:59 pm

MimiCat

It's martini time at my house now! Here's to y'all.

8:00 pm

lilliann

8:00 pm

MollyL

Gotta love those single humps.

8:00 pm

Jillyjill

clinks lemon glass water with mimi cat

8:01 pm

MimiCat

I only vaguely remember single humps now, Molly......

8:01 pm

lilliann

MimiCat

8:02 pm

MollyL

Lemon glass water...a sure sign that lemon water is a sub for straight up gin. : D

8:02 pm

lilliann

i was going to say something there mimi, but someone's bound to come in and say something!!:)

8:02 pm

Jillyjill

((mimi)), sorry I haven't been in contact via email

8:03 pm

lilliann

i used to like martini rosso but that is too swet for me now

8:03 pm

MimiCat

Whenever you can, dear. No hurt feelings here.

8:03 pm

lilliann

my spelling tonight/morning is crap as normal

8:04 pm

lilliann

8:05 pm

lilliann

8:05 pm

Jillyjill

<----!!FW!!

8:05 pm

MimiCat

Yay for Jilly!!!

8:05 pm

lilliann

bubble and squeak. you can't beat it, but not from a chippie.is it deep fried??

8:06 pm

lilliann

YAY! wtg jill :)

8:06 pm

lilliann

we don't normally get bubble and squeak from a fish shop

8:07 pm

MimiCat

They do fry theirs but it's really good.

8:07 pm

MimiCat

Kind of a bubble and squeak potato pancake.

8:07 pm

lilliann

do it yourself mimi

8:07 pm

MimiCat

Too much trouble for me...they put cabbage and peas in theirs.

8:08 pm

MollyL

Back to peas. Love it. : P

8:09 pm

lilliann

mash tatties, with any left over veg that has been cooked and mash it together.put a bit of oil in a pan and then put the mixture in and squash it flat until the bottom has got brown, my hubby then puts chees on the top and puts under the grill

8:09 pm

MimiCat

First it was fish and now veggies and beverages. Such a homey bunch!

8:09 pm

MollyL

*Waits for another 100 ! post from L*

8:10 pm

lilliann

but we also fry onions and put them in, but we fry them until it is caramelized, as in burnt. proper bubble and squeek is green cabbage and tatties but we all add different things to it

8:11 pm

MimiCat

Love caramelized onions..use them a lot.

8:12 pm

lilliann

it's a filling supper,lunch whatever you want, but you could also have some meat or fish and just have a little helping of it

8:12 pm

MimiCat

OK--now I'm getting hungry! Leaving for a bit. Hugs.

8:13 pm

lilliann

i'm just ignoring molly :)

Jillyjill

8:15 pm

lilliann

8:15 pm

MollyL

Indeed. The 6 thing has gotten way too much
attention.

8:15 pm

Jillyjill

*poke poke poke*

8:16 pm

MimiCat

I'm going to start saying I'm 90 so people will again tell me how good I look for my age.

8:17 pm

Jillyjill

YOu don't look a day over 80! ;)

8:17 pm

MollyL

Also, Rule #17 clearly states what you can and
cannot post in your profile. I always forget that.

8:17 pm

smores

8:22 pm

MollyL

Good for you L. But be prepared to have people
question that over and over again in chat.
Like it matters.

8:22 pm

lilliann

molly just makes up all the rules as she goes along :)

8:23 pm

lilliann

i could only go as low as 4

8:23 pm

lilliann

and i've changed my flag

8:24 pm

lilliann

i could have changed it to somewhere i've never heard of but if someone asked me about it i wouldn't have a clue

8:24 pm

MollyL

I don't play by the rules.
I thought everyone knew that by now.

8:24 pm

smores

:)

8:24 pm

lilliann

we do molly, and that is the way to be :D

8:24 pm

smores

me either...heck I refuse to even accept that there are any :)

8:24 pm

lilliann

8:25 pm

MollyL

The grand poobahs here would disagree with all of us.

8:25 pm

lilliann

8:25 pm

smores

8:40 pm

smores

8:40 pm

smores

8:41 pm

lilliann

hi teach

8:41 pm

8:41 pm

stidmama

hey teach!

8:42 pm

lilliann

that was earlier and it didn't plus i did loads of!!!!!!!!! to annoy you as i know you hate that :) i like to please :P

8:42 pm

MollyL

Sue, happy to hear your good news. Will be politically correct and throw bird seed. : D

8:42 pm

uusue2

Are you working for Pearson, smores? I do a lot of freelance work for them.

8:42 pm

lilliann

why do people throw rice...it hurts

8:42 pm

lilliann

and bird seed will be just as bad :)

8:42 pm

smores

Yes Sue...just started yesterday..that's cool :)

8:42 pm

uusue2

Thanks, Molly, the birds are happy.

8:43 pm

MollyL

Laughing my ass off (LMAO to all you abbreviators)
L is from Bermuda now.

8:44 pm

uusue2

I hope you enjoy it smores! They are a big outfit.

8:44 pm

smores

thanks :)

8:44 pm

lilliann

i'm having all the flags of places i've ben to and loved

8:44 pm

MollyL

Okay, now we have to blow bubbles so L won't get hurt. Perhaps release a flock of butterflies too?

8:45 pm

lilliann

well, i suppose it's better than doves, they could sh** on your head

8:45 pm

lilliann

paper confetti will do molly

8:46 pm

smores

LOL

8:46 pm

MollyL

: D Imagining the charming wedding photo

8:47 pm

lilliann

yes, it wouldn't look good, especially if it ended up in an eye, it would be like a pirate with a white patch :)

8:48 pm

lilliann

then all you'd need was the dove landing on your shoulder and you'd definitely look the part, especially if you had too many drinks before the ceremony and were leaning a bit

8:48 pm

MollyL

Psst...Sue...Montana is pretty and all that but hope you go somewhere a little more romantic for your honeymoon. And visiting a Babble player while on your honeymooon....um...no. : D

8:49 pm

lilliann

i'm going to shut up now be3fore i upset people or more people and find some words :(

8:49 pm

smores

:)

8:49 pm

lilliann

meant :)

8:49 pm

uusue2

Well, we bid on a vacation at our church auction, so it will be either Hilton Head or Hawaii.

8:50 pm

smores

wonderful :)

8:50 pm

MollyL

Ah, beautiful, both of them. Good for you.

8:50 pm

lilliann

hawaii, i've always wanted to go there.where is hilton head?

8:50 pm

Jillyjill

LOL Molly, uusue and i have already met. And may I remind you of Chico Hot Springs? Purrfect honeymoon place...

8:53 pm

uusue2

Hilton Head is an island off South Carolina.

8:53 pm

Jillyjill

I think I'd choose Hawaii....

8:54 pm

uusue2

Yes, we're leaning that way although its a lot more expensive to get to

8:54 pm

Jillyjill

done 'traveling' and now back home....

8:55 pm

Jillyjill

Allegiant Air flies to Honolulu...then GoAir is pretty cheap to island hop

8:55 pm

uusue2

True but we can drive to Hilton Head

8:56 pm

lilliann

thanks sue, i'll google it later

8:57 pm

uusue2

Whew! Just spent an hour and a half with Comcast trying to get my service sorted out. Glad that is over!

8:58 pm

MollyL

The drive to Hilton Head would be a lot more fun than the 8 million hour flight to Hawaii. : D

8:59 pm

uusue2

Yes, and getting food for Frank on the plane won't be easy

8:59 pm

MollyL

And probably a better bet for Frank, all things considered.

9:00 pm

uusue2

also, Hilton Head we would have to ourselves (although we could invite another couple if we wanted), Hawaii we'd be with the minister and her partner

9:01 pm

uusue2

whom I love dearly but it would be a different kind of experience

9:01 pm

MollyL

Um, sharing a honeymoon with a minister. I vote for Hilton Head! : )

9:02 pm

smores

definately would go with Hilton Head :)

9:02 pm

lilliann

hilton head :)

9:02 pm

uusue2

:-) of course we are Unitarians so pretty relaxed about everything - also Hilton Head would be in November, Hawaii would be January

9:03 pm

MollyL

Sue, you are so nice. "A different kind of experience".
: D

9:03 pm

uusue2

well, I'm old, I've had a lot of different kinds of experiences :-)

9:03 pm

lilliann

you're on your honeymoon.have time to yourselves for a change

9:05 pm

lilliann

my honeymoon was with 3 children 1, which was mine and my parents :)fun was had by all...but me :)

9:05 pm

uusue2

well, whichever we do it will be several months after the wedding

9:05 pm

lilliann

well, not in the way i was thinking a honeymoon should be :)

9:06 pm

uusue2

indeed :-)

9:06 pm

smores

brb

9:07 pm

lilliann

as anyone cooked with chicken livers?

9:07 pm

Jillyjill

brb

9:08 pm

uusue2

many many years ago, lilli

9:08 pm

penquis

hello all....clue for the mo 6/24 please?

9:08 pm

uusue2

I have one that's the plural of a mo5/14, penquis

9:08 pm

MollyL

I don't care how old you are, or how many years ago you got together, you two deserve a romantic honeymoon. Especially after all you have been through.

9:09 pm

lilliann

i had chicken livers for the first time a couple of weeks ago at a pub and i bought some but i'm not sure what to do with them apart from a pate

9:09 pm

uusue2

that is very sweet, molly!

9:09 pm

penquis

guess i don't have the mo 5/14, lol....

9:10 pm

uusue2

well, you can wrap them in bacon and grill them, lilli

9:10 pm

uusue2

it's like the go5/16, penquis

9:10 pm

lilliann

i agree with molly whole heartedly sue :)

9:10 pm

penquis

just found it....thanks

9:10 pm

lilliann

hi pen

9:10 pm

uusue2

or I used to have a recipe for a macaroni casserole that involved cheese, tomatoes, and chicken livers although it would probably be just as good without the livers

9:12 pm

Jillyjill

Hawaii in January would be a nice break from winter...

9:12 pm

MollyL

Oh, excuse me, I just ralphed at the thought of chicken livers in macaroni casserole. : O

9:12 pm

lilliann

i've never done that with liver before, i do cook other liver with bacon and onions but that's dry fried as the fat on the bacon gives enough fat out. i had chicken livers in a vermouth sauce in a puff pastry basket(basically a vol-a-vent case)

9:13 pm

lilliann

i must admit i'm not a macaroni person and i don't think i could eat it with liver

9:14 pm

penquis

hi lillian

9:14 pm

MollyL

Notes that Jill is still pushing hard for Hawaii.

9:14 pm

lilliann

but i didn't think the liver went with pastry

9:14 pm

uusue2

well, Hawaii is pretty nice

9:16 pm

MollyL

Hawaii = Nice, very nice. Sharing a Hawaiian honeymoon with a minister...not so sure about that. No matter how much love and all that is there.
: D

9:16 pm

lilliann

the bairn hates liver so i'm trying a different liver which isn't strong tasting and i need to do it in a way she will eat it, but saying that if she doesn't she won't get a sweet after(i'm a tough mam)

9:17 pm

MollyL

Oh good luck L. I would rather die of starvation than eat liver.

9:17 pm

smores

kids in bed..dog and cats are back in..gonna try for a few more

9:17 pm

uusue2

could I get a clue for the 7?

9:18 pm

MollyL

Plural. Decade of middle age.

9:18 pm

uusue2

ah, thanks! got it.

9:18 pm

smores

I like liver :) with lots of carmelized onions...yum

9:19 pm

uusue2

although I am 20 years past that and still think of myself as no older than middle aged...

9:19 pm

smores

:)

9:20 pm

lilliann

she hates veg now aswell molly, since she started high school and her friends don't eat this or that, but she always ate every meat and veg we fed her without a complaint.now she's just a fussy teenager.she'll say she's full up after 5 mouthfuls but she can eat biscuits and icecream...well, none of that unless she eats proper food!! :)

9:20 pm

MollyL

We are as old as we feel. No question about that. Some feel young at 60, others act old as the hills at 30.

9:21 pm

lilliann

me to smores. i like lambs, calves and pigs liver.

9:22 pm

lilliann

no molly. we are as young as the person we feel :) sorry lowered the chat again!

9:22 pm

welki

hey folks (lillian - wrap the chicken livers in some bacon, secure with toothpicks (our kind of bacon, if you can find it) and fry them up - sprinkle with a little cayenne and serve with some sour cream on the side

9:22 pm

penquis

hi welki

9:22 pm

smores

LOL

9:23 pm

welki

(if you don't like cayenne pepper, some nice hungarian paprika will taste good)

9:23 pm

smores

nice lilli

9:23 pm

smores

sounds good welki :)

9:23 pm

MollyL

L, I don't envy you having to be concerned about the diet of a teenage girl who pays attention to the dietary comments of other teenage girls. Yeesh.

9:24 pm

welki

sort of a bastardized rumaki, smores

9:24 pm

Jillyjill

WEll, must toddle off for the night...good luck all!

9:25 pm

smores

night Jilly :)

9:25 pm

welki

hi/bye, jilly

9:25 pm

welki

and hi, penquis :)

9:25 pm

uusue2

night, jill!

9:25 pm

uusue2

and hi welki!

9:25 pm

welki

((sue))

9:26 pm

lilliann

sounds nice welki ty.your bacon is streaky isn't it.i like more bacon than fat which is why i like our back bacon especially when wrapping food as it covers all and keeps the meat underneath moist

9:26 pm

lilliann

night jill, tc hin and sweet dreams

9:26 pm

welki

yes, it's like streaky

9:27 pm

welki

you need the fat to keep the liver moist

9:27 pm

welki

(we have back bacon, too (and peameal bacon) - not sure if it's like yours)

9:28 pm

lilliann

my hubby and bairn like your bacon as they lie it cooked to a crisp i dlike my bacon just cooked

9:28 pm

welki

our back bacon is very much like ham - solid meat, little or no fat

9:29 pm

lilliann

my daughter will have me burn her bacon i cut all the fat off mine and microwave it for a minute

9:29 pm

lilliann

like ours then welki

9:30 pm

lilliann

saying that, ours is thinly sliced.our ham joints are chunkier

9:31 pm

lilliann

i don't know peameal bacon though. i've heard crossy talk about it

9:31 pm

smores

must head to bed...50 left

9:31 pm

smores

Night all :)

9:31 pm

lilliann

night smores, sweet dreams and tc hin

9:31 pm

uusue2

night smores!

9:31 pm

welki

peameal is back bacon with a coating of cornmeal. keeps it from drying out

9:32 pm

uusue2

and I will be off as well, see you all tomorrow!

9:32 pm

lilliann

we have ham like that, but not bacon

9:32 pm

lilliann

night sue. congrats again. all the best to you and frank.sweet dreams to both of you

9:33 pm

welki

here's a pic: http://tinyurl.com/cxbu3y6

wvteach

good night all - sweet dreams

9:34 pm

welki

hi/bye, teach

9:34 pm

lilliann

i've written it down and will look when i've finished welki

9:35 pm

lilliann

are you off aswell teach or just saying good night to people?

9:35 pm

MollyL

I've never thought of the peameal stuff as bacon. My husband said it was a Canadian/US difference. But he preferred the strip bacon over the peameal stuff.

9:36 pm

welki

different meats for different sorts of breakfast - eggs benedict wouldn't be the same without back bacon, diner bacon and eggs would only be diner bacon and eggs with strip bacon

9:37 pm

welki

i like it all - which accounts for my roundness :)

9:39 pm

lilliann

see, we have smoked bacon, back bacon and streaky and i would only have back bacon with breakfast and smoked in soups and other meals where the smokiness brings more flavour, but i don't like streaky as too much fat

9:39 pm

welki

(and, for the record, i like maple sausages with pancakes)

9:40 pm

MollyL

Okay, I get back bacon (the hammy stuff) for eggs Benedict. And I get strip bacon for traditional diner bacon and eggs. What is a traditional peameal bacon dish?

9:40 pm

lilliann

i also use the back bacon to wrap around other meats

9:40 pm

welki

then i'm not sure what you'd do with the chicken livers, lilliann - maybe saute some onions with a little bacon fat and toss the livers in until they're (almost) cooked - by the time they reach the plate, they'll be perfect

9:41 pm

lilliann

nowt against my friends across the pond but do you really eat bacon with pancakes and maple syrup on the same plate?

9:41 pm

penquis

heck yes!

9:41 pm

welki

peameal and back bacon are used interchangeably up in alberta - they're the same cut of meat. one is rolled in cornmeal, the other isn't. just double checked with husband. he said, 'i'd call them the same thing"

9:42 pm

lilliann

i would maybe griddle the livers with a tiny bit of olivce oil but i like my livers black on the outside but moist on the inside

9:42 pm

lilliann

what's that about!!

9:42 pm

lilliann

sorry, but how can you eat meat with maple syrup?

9:43 pm

welki

hehehe ... and that was sort of my reaction the first time i had a scotch egg. you actually roll a hard boiled egg in sausage, coat it in bread crumbs and bake it?

9:43 pm

penquis

moi?....i eat bacon with pancakes and maple syrup on the same plate...

9:43 pm

penquis

well it's with the pancakes....sweet and salty

9:43 pm

lilliann

that's better than coating it in maple syrup

9:44 pm

penquis

well it all goes down the same tube as my brother used to say

9:44 pm

welki

to each their own

9:45 pm

penquis

any clue for as 6/24?

9:45 pm

lilliann

like my hubby says' if it doesn't stick in your throat it won't stick in you're arse' excuse vulgarity

9:45 pm

welki

nope, sorry. another grid i won't finish.

9:45 pm

lilliann

i like my sweet sweet and savoury savoury

9:45 pm

MollyL

9:48 pm

MollyL

9:48 pm

9:49 pm

welki

no tomato in mine either, penquis

9:49 pm

lilliann

i don't like waldorf salad as it has nuts and apple with lettuce

9:50 pm

penquis

there is one thing i like with meat and fruit in it....chicken salad with grape halves and either walnuts or pecans....

9:50 pm

lilliann

duck with orange or plum sauce is lovely

9:50 pm

MollyL

Don't get me started on all that gelatin salad with nuts, fruit and marshmallows in it. : O

9:50 pm

penquis

9:50 pm

lilliann

i couldn't eat that pen

9:50 pm

penquis

don't like any gelatin salad

9:51 pm

lilliann

marshmallows in a salad?

9:51 pm

welki

i confess. i like ambrosia (but have never had it with nuts in it - only coconut, mandarin oranges and marshmallows)

9:51 pm

MollyL

To me, chicken salad is chicken salad. It's not fruit salad, it's chicken salad.

9:51 pm

penquis

it's more like jello with salady things in it and marshmallows

9:52 pm

lilliann

so like jelly with salad in it?

9:52 pm

welki

(oh, and pineapple)

9:52 pm

MollyL

Marshmallows are a salady thing?

9:52 pm

penquis

well they put fruit and marshmallows in it....other stuff, too, i think.....but i don't like it

9:52 pm

lilliann

exactly molly. i want what is on the 'tin' i don't want any extras

9:53 pm

penquis

well i am off to bed....gn all

9:53 pm

9:53 pm

lilliann

9:54 pm

penquis

9:54 pm

welki

it's not salad, like lettuce, lillian

9:54 pm

lilliann

writing it down for later welki

9:54 pm

MollyL

I've never gotten into the "gourmet groove" of adding raisins, cranberries, grapes or nuts to meat salads.

9:54 pm

lilliann

oh, a fruit salad then?

9:54 pm

welki

mmmm ... sweet potatoes with some marshmallows tossed in

9:54 pm

welki

yes a fruit salad

9:55 pm

penquis

usually at Thanksgiving someone in the family makes a sweet potato dish that has marshmallows on top...one year someone didn't have marshmallows and put peeps bunnies on top instead

9:55 pm

lilliann

i like sweet potatoes and i can't think of the other thing i like.it's peachy coloured with a big bulbous end and has seeds in the bulbous end

9:56 pm

lilliann

neither have i molly. meat is lovely on it's own, it doesn't need fruit so just leave it alone

9:56 pm

MollyL

L. it's Jell-o and fruit and marshmallows and just that kind of congealed concoction. I'm getting queasy now.

9:56 pm

welki

butternut squash?

9:57 pm

lilliann

yes welki that's it. i love that roasted

9:57 pm

penquis

9:59 pm

welki

g'night folks - calling it a night

9:59 pm

MollyL

Oh, we are on to Ambrosia. Mandarin orange, pineapple, marshmallows, coconut and sour cream. Not a favorite of mine.

10:00 pm

lilliann

night welki, sweet dreams and tc

10:03 pm

lilliann

i don't like anything creamy. i hate rice pudding but i don't mind homemade custard but i don't like it thick and i hate cold custard. my dad loves custard tarts

10:08 pm

lilliann

can i have a clue for be5 please

10:16 pm

phandmd

another word for being drunk?

10:16 pm

MollyL

be + three letter word for a drunk, that starts with s.

10:16 pm

phandmd

great minds think alike, Molly

10:16 pm

lilliann

ty both

10:17 pm

MollyL

That was a "cheat clue". But if people can clue with things like "hump letter", I'm going for it.

10:17 pm

lilliann

i'm loving that puppy phan

10:18 pm

phandmd

She is 4 years old now!

10:19 pm

lilliann

so she's quite alot bigger then...she wasn't going to be a little dog byt the looks of her there:)

10:20 pm

phandmd

no, she is about 65 lbs.

10:20 pm

lilliann

why was that a cheat clue molly? when i read hump letter i though where does that come into being drunk,, :)

10:20 pm

lilliann

no-one would argue with her then phan

10:21 pm

phandmd

Her ears fell when she teethed and never stood back up again. One of her adult teeth never came in and I wonder if that has something to do with it as apparently it is common for the ears to flop during teething.

10:22 pm

MollyL

No, I meant a cheat clue as in clues that include "hump letter" or "cross letter" and the like.

10:23 pm

lilliann

oh, bless her, i must admit i've never seen a germanshepherd/alsatian with droopy ears, but i bet she's still beautiful

10:24 pm

phandmd

I will attempt to change my pic to a more recent one of her.

10:25 pm

lilliann

i know what a cheat clue is molly but i wondered why you said it as your clue didn't have a hump or cross letter in it.your's was normal

10:26 pm

MollyL

I meant that my clue was like a cheat clue, because it had more than the first two letters in it.

10:26 pm

lilliann

ahh, was it because you said it starts with an s?

10:27 pm

lilliann

np.why are we even going over it..lol life's too short, sorry i should say why am i...

10:28 pm

lilliann

oh bugger, i have to do the bairn's pack lunch.saying that i don't know why she doesn't. she does it when her dad's home

10:29 pm

lilliann

excuse french

10:34 pm

lilliann

this is when i wish we could get rid of what we've written before it goes onto chat

10:38 pm

phandmd

well, I have tried to upload a new pic 3 times and it fails.

10:38 pm

greenery

I rarely comment, but I have to point out that this puzzle is one letter short of the word ululation.

10:39 pm

lilliann

what a shame phan, nevermind i'm sure she's just as cute as she was when she was a puppy

10:42 pm

lilliann

i don't think it's bad enough to howl greenery but it is bad, but saying that there is never an easy babble grid, well not very oftern

10:42 pm

phandmd

I wonder why it wont let me upload a pic though, I tried another one too and it didn't work either.

10:43 pm

lilliann

don't ask me phan. i'm not good with computors or anything mechanical :0

10:43 pm

phandmd

me either!

10:45 pm

lilliann

there is a picture there but it is huge and fuzzy :)

10:47 pm

phandmd

weird.

10:48 pm

lilliann

if you click on your icon you should see it phan

11:02 pm

MollyL

You have to make sure that your icon picture is resized to 350 x 350 before you upload it. Otherwise, it's GIANT.

11:04 pm

lilliann

i wouldn't know how to do that molly, as i'm crap with computors.the bairn tells me what to do but then i forget

11:05 pm

lilliann

so when she's at school and i try to do something and it doesn't work i give up

11:06 pm

MollyL

Photographs straight from a camera are usually 1000 pixels or above and blow the profile out of proportion.

11:08 pm

lilliann

oh ok, so then you need to put it on the computor first and then upload?

11:08 pm

MollyL

Re-size a photo you want to use in an icon in Paint, or any other image editing software you have.

11:08 pm

lilliann

sorry but i really am technology thick, plus i forget things

11:09 pm

lilliann

ok thanks

11:09 pm

MollyL

Better to let someone help you then.

11:11 pm

lilliann

the bairn when she is in a good mood and not anti me...mmm...that won't be very often then :P

11:12 pm

lilliann

i've written it down and aslong as no-one moves my book away from the computor i'll be fine, saying that i have books all over the place to write on and the bairn writes on them and moves them

11:13 pm

lilliann

or my pens go missing so i don't have anything to write on

11:25 pm

lilliann

fireworks! i don't know how i missed so many 4's!!
