3:23 am
puglet

3:38 am

I was wondering why utes wasent a word here earlier

4:15 am
lynxxx
not two words Sprite - just rhinestone
4:16 am
smores
I tried that too pug
4:16 am
sprite
ah, I see. Thanks lyn :)
And puglet, I don't know! Probably because of smores' reason.
4:17 am
smores
teehee.... cu4 connects to ar4...definately not valid but still funny :)
4:18 am
smores
yep...I need coffee
4:27 am
smores

4:30 am
puglet
I will throw in my coffee cake
4:30 am
smores
do you have to wait after your meds?
4:30 am
smores
mmm...thanks pug :)
4:31 am
sprite
no, just not the energy to make myself a cuppa. OOO lovely puglet!
4:31 am
smores
ah...I see :)
4:32 am
puglet
I got to have my coffee in the morn as soon as possible and a smoke
4:33 am
smores
I had mine set on auto perk..but I set it for 6am
4:33 am
sprite
I sometimes lack the energy to even take my meds. One of my good intentions for this year: take my meds no matter what. Am going strong with the intention still.
4:33 am
smores
me too pug...me too
4:34 am
puglet
after those two items THEN I can take on whatever--lal
4:35 am
smores
that's good sprite...is it still getting better I hope?
4:36 am
sprite
yes, on the whole I am going upward. Temporary setbacks are normal, right? And Spring is here at last, that helps :)
4:36 am
smores
now that the weather is nicer that should help
4:37 am
sprite
you got it :D
4:37 am
smores
yes...temporary setbacks I think are very normal
4:37 am
puglet
May I asked what your illness is sprite?

hiya rose :) How was the nekkid husband? And dinner? :)
4:40 am
puglet
I hope your meds help
4:40 am
sprite
no, just pregnancy and delivery, puglet. As for the feet and hands, they don't know what is causing it.
4:40 am
grannyrose
nekkid husband still nekkid, dinner absolutely yummy. haven't had pizza in ages.
4:41 am
grannyrose
hey lyn....nice day today.
4:41 am
sprite
yes, meds help up to a point. Have great anti deps now. And therapy helps to, I am learning to cope. And things could be much worse. I can grow very old with this ;)
4:41 am
smores
lol...rose, surprised youre back :D
4:42 am
grannyrose
spritey, i think he's just te4ing me. if i put the hard word on him....hmmmmm
4:42 am
grannyrose
hey smores....nice to see you too
4:42 am
sprite
hmmm don't use the word... just the nekkidness :)
4:43 am
smores
Well sprite, as Curtis Mayfield said " Keep on Pushing"

5:52 am
smores
I have 9 more minutes
5:52 am

lol...you are sooooo not stupid
5:52 am
MimiCat
That's right...you're working now?
5:53 am
smores

5:54 am
smores

5:55 am
MimiCat
I'm thinking about ending the search until after the summer. Worried about walking to and from the bus in 110-degree heat.
5:56 am
smores
eekk...yeah that's not good
5:57 am
MimiCat
I can do the walking but can't take the heat at all. Cardiologist thinks my thyroid is totally out of whack. Am working on getting it checked so I can get on synthroid and start feeling better.
5:57 am
MimiCat
It's HELL getting OLD!
5:59 am
smores
how far is the bus stop for you?
6:00 am
MimiCat
The north-south one is nearly 1/4 mi. but the east-west is just at the corner and close. Of course, most places I need to go are north-south.
6:02 am
MimiCat
I'm proud that I can walk the distance just a year after a heart attack, though. One job interview I went on a month ago I had to walk 1/2 mile to and from the bus to the office...but I did it in 12 minutes!
6:02 am
smores
wow...good for you
6:03 am
MimiCat
Yep---tough old broad!
6:03 am
MimiCat
Oh, good, now the phantoms are coming: freak.
6:04 am
smores
kinda good you didn't get that one though...hate for you to have to do that on a regular basis...especially in bad weather
6:04 am
smores
:) pug had a great one earlier; horsemen
6:05 am
MimiCat
Yes, I agree. That one might have just killed me off! Have decided to only look for part-time anyway since I'm not sure I'm up to full-time. At least I have rent covered as of July with early retirement.
6:05 am
smores
mine was; minute
6:06 am
smores
Hope you can find one close that's just right for you :)
6:06 am
MimiCat
I keep trying taser but guess it's not in the lingo yet...or is that a z instead of an s?
6:06 am
smores
eekkk...my time is unfortunately up
6:07 am
MimiCat
I'm still waiting to hear from one that would be working at home.
6:07 am
smores
Bye for now..have a wonderful day dear {hugs}
6:07 am
MimiCat
HAGD, dear....maybe I'll see you later. Big hug.

6:34 am
MimiCat
I was thinking about the weapon...is that a z?
6:34 am
crosshair
one of my favorite tidbits from the past
6:34 am
crosshair
that is the weapon
6:34 am
MimiCat
Hi, Trif!
6:34 am
Trifioso
Im pretty stoked - day off, big fatty grid. it's good to be me
6:34 am
MimiCat
Got the tidbits up early today!
6:35 am
MimiCat
In that case, Trif, can I be you today?!!!
6:35 am
Trifioso
hi mimi! mind you, I always STINK at remembering to add plurals, so today is gonna be an opportunity for me to work on that
6:36 am
MimiCat
I do great the first 15 minutes of these big grids but then the stupid returns!
6:36 am
crosshair
sounds like me:/
6:36 am
Trifioso
I call that "gridlock" mimi
6:37 am
MimiCat
Sorry, crossy....haven't slept so am a bit punchy....at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
6:38 am
MimiCat
It's only 4:30 here and I finally gave up trying to sleep at 3.
6:39 am
crosshair
"you know you have arrived when the best sleep you ever get in a 24 hour period happens anywhere between 1 and 3 in the afternoon
6:39 am
MimiCat
OK---so shouldn't taser, tase and tased be in our accepted words? Tis an imperfect world in which we Babble.
6:40 am
crosshair
it is indeed and there is a j that is also a proper name today,so why not taser i say
6:41 am
MimiCat
I can't ever nap so have to wait until tonight. Thanks for the support there {crossy}.
6:42 am
MimiCat
I should have tried my foolproof method for falling asleep---start watching a movie I really want to see...that usually does it!
6:43 am
crosshair
or read a chapter or 3
6:43 am
Trifioso
mimi, I have been waking up at odd hours as well - was up by 5 this morning, ugh
6:43 am
MimiCat
Our birthdays are close, crossy. As of Tuesday I will be officially older than dirt....and glad not to be under it.
6:45 am
MimiCat
Trif, I go through spurts. Lately, I'm falling asleep early but wake up by 2 or 3 so only get a bit of sleep. Didn't even get that much last night.
6:45 am
crosshair
lol,mimi.i think you said that you are just in your 60,s i think.that is barely middle age for the ladies around here.we seem to have piles of them between 90 and 110 and one was beyond(she has since passed) she was 114!
6:45 am
Trifioso
im really sorry mimi. insomnia is so horrible
6:46 am
crosshair
i have insomnia and sleep apnea,so i share your slumber woes
6:47 am
MimiCat
I'll be 62 on Tues. OMG, crossy, 114 years old! I don't even want to be anywhere near that old. It's easier for men, though, because according to either Groucho or George Burns "you're only as old as the woman you feel."
6:47 am
crosshair
funny when you think about it.i have been called a mere pup for days at my current tender age of 50 and here is poor mimi calling herself "older than dirt" just a decade or so later on.so no. you are not
6:48 am
MimiCat
It was a rough decade, dear....
6:48 am
crosshair
ahh there is nothing like a young lass on your arm to put a gleam in yer eye.just ask tiger woods and his new squeeze lol
6:49 am
Trifioso
ugh crossy
6:49 am
MimiCat
She looks just like his ex.
6:49 am
Trifioso
I dont like seeing them together....gross
6:50 am
crosshair
and you both win,you can sail through your current age crisis and she gets all your money when you have a thunderclap heart attack while playing kissy-poo one night
6:50 am
Trifioso
oh well. you pick up a snake and it bites you, you don't get to look surprised
6:50 am
MimiCat
One of the reasons I dated some younger men after my divorce was as a sort of retribution for years of trophy wives.
6:50 am
Trifioso
rock ON mimicat!
6:51 am
MimiCat
I've already had the heart attack and wasn't even having any fun first!
6:51 am
Trifioso
hmmm....maybe Mimi Cougar? :)
6:51 am
crosshair
well,that is no good ,mimi.if you are going to have a heart attack,at least be in the midst of watching the submarine races down by the bay when it happens
6:52 am
MimiCat
Oh, yeah, Trif---had to fight off the young men with a stick there for awhile. The youngest one was after me for 2 years and I finally went out with him...he was 32 years younger than me.
6:52 am
Trifioso
go mimi go!
6:52 am
crosshair
mimi is a cougar!!! hid your 20-somethings!
6:53 am
Trifioso
thank goodness primo is safe and settled! lol
6:53 am
MimiCat
I felt like I needed someone's permission to go out with him, though, so I called my daughter and asked if that was just going beyond the bounds of good taste. She had no problem with it. But it wasn't fun...in my mind when he said something I was patting him on the head and thinking "Oh, you'll outgrow that."
6:53 am
crosshair
actually all the 20-something guys i have known who have been involved with cougars have all been willing victims:))
6:54 am
crosshair
lol,kept wanting to give him a lolly and send him out to play
6:54 am
MimiCat
They were the predatory ones, not me, crossy. I just kind of went along for the ride. However, now I have decided the amusement park is closed.
6:55 am
Trifioso
mimi, I think what you did is wonderful, and quite smart, especially post-divorce. I dated a couple of people who were WAY outside of my comfort zone, but how else was I going to figure out what I wanted? chalk it all up to lessons well learned, and move on smarter and more sure of yourself
6:55 am
crosshair
it can be tough when you cannot relate to the same experiences,same songs,same memories.something is always lacking that is there with someone your own age bracket
6:56 am
MimiCat
I've been blessed with many wonderful men in my life (and a couple of stinkers) so no complaints....just done.
6:56 am
MimiCat
You're so right, crossy. No real companionship without common experience and frames of reference.
6:57 am
crosshair
i mean when you say that you had a awsome 8-track tape collection back in the day,what you do not want is a blank confused stare coming back at you hehe
6:58 am
crosshair
yes,unless you are having sex 24-7, you have to have companionship and frames of reference:))
6:58 am
MimiCat
My best friend (female) has been my best friend for 44 years. We always say we'll end up being roomies again, rocking on the porch and waiting for our meds to kick in!

Let me tell you...sometimes size DOES matter!
6:59 am
crosshair
i have to take these big grids in bites anyways
7:01 am
MimiCat
Oh, funny story about that...the condom broke and he was all upset. I worried maybe he had a disease but he was concerned about me getting PREGNANT! I was 54!
7:02 am
MimiCat
It took all my control not to burst out laughing! I assured him that ship had sailed, sank, was under the sand...gone!
7:02 am
crosshair
lol,what did carlin say? "it is not size that mattes,but the motion on the ocean...yea,but it takes a long time to get to england in a row boat right?"

topic change - have a wedding to attend in a couple of weeks. the service is at 530, which has me thinking "formal" but is being held outside at a country inn, which has me thinking "not so formal" - any sartorial advice out there?
7:09 am

Not many more good mornings here as soon it will be 100 degrees even in the week hours...hate that.

I am plagued by a young stud of a cardinal who sings his fool head off every morning in the holly tree right below my window. I feel sorry for him
7:15 am

perhaps there's a cardinals seeking cardinal on line
7:16 am
Trifioso
last week I saw him out there, doing his level best, whilst in a nearby tree sat two female cardinals who could have GIVEN less of a sh*t, just make him shut up already

All together now, HI CAR

and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!!
7:30 am
crosshair
Habitual singing causes the lungs to release leptin, a protein manufactured by the body’s fat cells that is involved in the regulation of appetite. This may partially explain why opera stars tend to lean toward the heavy end of the scale.
7:30 am
MollyL
I never finished Under The Dome. I could not stay interested in it.
7:30 am
MollyL
<---Loves a good Cheers reference : )

Aren't those called hearing aids, Molly?
2:08 pm
periwinkle
hi all
2:11 pm
MollyL
Well they were called hearing aids.
But if trifocals are now progressive lenses,
we should have a hip, young sounding name for
hearing aids too.
2:13 pm
Alexis Elise
You're right. Hearing aids are freaking amazing now.
2:13 pm
Alexis Elise
They certainly could use a new name
2:14 pm
helensgirlkid
We went from bi- or trifocals with little lines at the joins which were a real pain, at least at first,and resulted in people doing a lot of tilting their heads to see through the right bit, to having a "smooth, gradual" transition - novisible line - which leaves you feeling dizzy every time you look down for a couple of weeks. But after that they really are better. I can't speak to improvements in hearing aids!
2:15 pm
Alexis Elise
My 16 year old cousin has hearing aids. They wirelessly connect to her phone, ipod, guitar, keyboard... pretty much anything. They're very cool.
2:17 pm
MimiCat
They're announcing the verdict in the Jodi Arias murder trial in an hour..has anyone been following it? She stabbed her boyfriend 29 times and shot him a couple of times....I admire her restraint.
2:18 pm
BzznBea
What was her motive?
2:18 pm
puglet
Ive just caught bits of it
2:19 pm
puglet
Ive been trying to follow the story of the 3 women found in Ohio
2:20 pm
MimiCat
She tried to claim self defense due to abuse but I think she got really angry because he wanted to break up with her. I think they'll come in with 2nd degree murder instead of 1st or manslaughter. Arizona is tough on all kind of crime.
2:21 pm
BzznBea
They didn't prove premeditation?
2:21 pm
MimiCat
I mean, really, stabbing him that many times and shooting him? She was enraged. Don't see any justification. I'd give her first degree but the jury came back fairly quickly.
2:22 pm
MimiCat
I haven't been following it closely. Once I saw how many times she stabbed him and shot him, too, there was nothing else I needed to hear.
2:23 pm
Alexis Elise
I haven't heard about that one but cracking up at how you admire her restraint :)
2:23 pm
puglet
sounds like she lost control
2:25 pm
MimiCat
Old joke, Alexis. I actually abhor violence in any form. Though when I was married, my fantasy life was often rich with ways I could kill him and get rid of the body!
2:26 pm
MimiCat
The phantom I just saw is a bit appropriate: hormones.
2:28 pm
Alexis Elise
Ya... you know the relationship is over when you fantasize about his death. Been there.

There are lots of places here in the desert to get rid of a body.

I haven't been into that trial, but one of my coworkers has kept me will informed....Hello all
4:12 pm
MimiCat
She showed no emotion. The crowd outside the courtroom cheered...well, yeah, I guess.
4:12 pm
MimiCat
The victim's family broke down and cried. Imagine having to go through something like this for over 4 years....I'd need heavy medication.
4:12 pm
MollyL
Kind of hard to put on a good self defense case when you have stabbed someone that many times.
4:14 pm
MimiCat
And shot him, too. Gee, did she think he would come back from the dead? She was like so many men, I feel, with the attitude "If I can't have you, no one can." Crazy.
4:24 pm
Jillyjill
Guess that's where we get the expression "overkill"...

howdy again my friends.i am back to let this grid beat me up a bit more:)
4:44 pm
zoozzoom
Hello, Crossy..the grid does not seem to be too bad..saying that..i still need 73 more words.
4:45 pm
crosshair
well,i have most of the biggies,no i just need to plow through what are most likely 116 four letter babblets;))
4:48 pm
zoozzoom
Ok down to 64 now..but have not come across any babblets yet.
4:50 pm
zoozzoom
For the size of the grid, that has surprised me.
4:50 pm
momof5
Sure wish lickety had a minimizing tab for each section - especially on these big grids. Then I wouldn't have to scroll up and down the entire list.
4:52 pm
zoozzoom
Momof5..i use the xbox360 to play.and it does not have any tabs..so i have to come off of the babble site to lok at the list then come off of lickety and back onto babble..lol...probably why i do not use the list often..and just stay on babble for many hours.
4:53 pm
zoozzoom
But i still enjoy it..and thats what counts.
4:54 pm
momof5
I have a windows machine and can see 2 screens at the same time. So I refer back and forth from Babble to Lickety.
4:54 pm
momof5
I usually wait until I just can't find any more, then load lickety. Then, I try to find all the 4-letter words to get them out of the way. That usually helps.
4:56 pm
zoozzoom
I usually wait for people to clue the large words.. teehee.
4:56 pm
MollyL
I am too easily confused to use split screen : O
4:56 pm
momof5
Once in awhile I find them on my own.
4:57 pm
MollyL
At least you're honest Zoom : )
4:57 pm
momof5
I love split screen. You can have as many windows open as you like (ie: Babble, Lickety, MoreWords)
4:57 pm
crosshair
i also use two screens,but mostly to glean hints from chog history when i am stuck that way i can work the grid and read the chog history at the same time.i do not use licketys too much anymore
4:58 pm
crosshair
a spilt screen that is,not two seperate screens
4:58 pm
BzznBea

I try to challenge myself to get 60% without aids, then I go from there. I've only been able to finish a few without any aids.
4:59 pm
MollyL
So many different ways to play. I still haven't figured out why people think nbt and nbs are important though.
5:00 pm
bichon
I try to get at least half of the words from each letter + NBT & NBS
5:00 pm
momof5
I think it's just a way to add some goals to the fun.
5:00 pm
BzznBea
Many people only play until they have at least one form each tile.
5:01 pm
crosshair
it is a milestone of course.it gives a sense of acheivement and a waypoint to use on the road to finishing
5:02 pm
momof5
Everyone has their own method. I start with a corner tile and try to get as many as I can before moving to the next. Just what I like to do. Sometimes I go for nbt/nbs
5:02 pm
BzznBea
My challenge of the day is, "What's for dinner?"
5:02 pm
crosshair
same reason i put tidbits in the chog,many like it,some thing it is a bore,or idiotic,but it adds depth and facets to the gaming experience as does nbt,nbs and various forms of cluing words
5:03 pm
momof5
I hear ya BzznBea. As well as, "Who's gonna cook it?" (instead of me)
5:03 pm
BzznBea
I know who is going to cook it. ME!
5:04 pm
momof5
Probably why people who play Babble do so for years without becoming bored with the game

5:08 pm

I have chips, sourcream, avocado, salsa, seasoning, tortilla shells. Seems I had all the fixins and you gave me the suggestion.
5:08 pm
MimiCat
I was reading back about various techniques for playing Babble. Mine is simple...I play until it's no longer fun and then I quit---no goals. Takes all kinds!
5:08 pm
MimiCat
And {crossy} still love those tidbits!
5:09 pm

Many accuse me of being an efficiency expert, detailed, organized (not always to their liking). Probably why I like this game and why I play it the way I do.
5:11 pm
MimiCat
Oh, and I'm having my own recipe of chicken spaghetti tonight. Easy, fast, and when I make a double batch I don't have to cook again until Sunday. Lots of caramelized onion and mushrooms with cut up rotisserie chicken, spaghetti sauce and fresh pasta---all in one Dutch oven and simmer. Top with parmesan...yum. And better the second and third day.
5:11 pm

Avocado & crispy bacon..Yum.

So far the biggest favorite is the mock chile relleno.
5:14 pm

mimi do you make your own spaghetti sauce
5:14 pm
BzznBea
Why is it "mock"?
5:14 pm

mmmm,bacon tidbits in avacado dip
5:15 pm
MimiCat
Nope, I use Hunt's canned Garlic and Herb sauce...good, inexpensive and easy.
5:15 pm
MollyL
The rotisserie chickens have too much sodium in them for me, so I roast my own and chop the meat and freeze in recipe size freezer bags.
5:15 pm
speedfreak
can you put that recipe in your profile thanks I love all kinds of spagetti
5:15 pm
BzznBea
Do you add any seasoning, Molly?
5:16 pm
MollyL
Yep, a bunch of herbs, garlic powder and onion powder.
5:16 pm
MimiCat
It's mock because it tastes a lot like the real relleno but is so much easier and travels well. Can use as a meal or as an appetizer.
5:16 pm
BzznBea
Mimi, does it use chilis?
5:16 pm
MimiCat
Speed, could you send your email to me at catjdesigns@yahoo.com and I'll send the recipe to you by reply?
5:17 pm
BzznBea
Molly, I have a chicken rub similar and it has a bit of sugar in it.
5:17 pm
MimiCat
Yes, it uses the mild whole green chiles but you could use jalapeno if you want it really spicy. Anyone who wants these, just email me at catjdesigns@yahoo.com and will happily send along. You'll love these.
5:17 pm
MollyL
Never thought of sugar, Bea. I'll try that next time.
5:17 pm
speedfreak
sure will and I will put Babble Recipes so you know it is me
5:18 pm
MollyL
It's too bad we don't have a recipe board here.
5:18 pm
MimiCat
You can also put a bit of sugar in spaghetti sauce to cut the acidity.
5:19 pm
MimiCat
OK, speed, will look for the email. Will send as soon as I see your message.
5:19 pm
BzznBea
Yes, Mimi, that is Hubs "secret" ingredient when he does pasta sauce.
5:19 pm
zoozzoom
Garlic powder?..Molly does not want garlic fingers hehe.
5:19 pm
MollyL
Don't say that to an Italian. Sugar is verboten in spaghetti sauce to most Italians.
5:20 pm
MollyL
I like fresh garlic Zoom. But the powders work better in meat rubs.
5:21 pm
BzznBea
My daughter's secret ingredient in her pasta sauce is dill pickle juice. LOL!
5:21 pm
MimiCat
I'm really weird...whenever I'm sick I crave Italian--mostly spaghetti. Molly, I like the acidity myself so I don't use sugar but many really like it.
5:21 pm

7:35 pm

the deer are practically tame where I live in Michigan. I can't grow hostas in my yard anymore because they eat them as fast as they grow
7:36 pm
72 Temple Owl
the increase in numbers is just astounding. from less than a million to millions
7:36 pm
Scrabbler
Hosta, tulips--get mowed down by the deer.
7:36 pm
72 Temple Owl
showed them leaping 8 foot fences
7:36 pm
Scrabbler
I enjoy seeing them in my yard and in the park. They are beautiful, graceful creatures.
7:36 pm
MollyL
Deer are pretty tame animals. Unless you mess with their young.
7:36 pm
72 Temple Owl
i am paranoid about them. hitting one will do that
7:37 pm
LuvWordGames
yeah, but they have no fear of people anymore, I can practically walk right up to them and they just stand there, that's not natural
7:38 pm

7:43 pm
72 Temple Owl
the white ones are all in an area called lorimer park. the oldrailroadline has been turned into a bike and hiking path through there.
7:43 pm
MollyL
I live next to a State Park that has two major roads that run along either side of it. That totally disorients the deer.
7:44 pm
Scrabbler
Free clue!

72 Temple Owl

I use cocoa powder in mine, not hot chocolate mix.
9:16 pm
72 Temple Owl
i added a about a tb of sugar and 1/2 tb of cocoa. and chips of course. and cut butter to 1 tb. just tried even less butter
9:16 pm
72 Temple Owl
and i bake it 55 sec
9:16 pm
72 Temple Owl
i always seem to get flour on the bottom
9:17 pm
phandmd
good evening all.
9:17 pm
MollyL
Do you put the wet ingredients in first?
9:18 pm
72 Temple Owl
molly, how much cocoa? if you don't use cocoa mix then there is no milk or sugar in it
9:18 pm
72 Temple Owl
no i mix dry first
9:18 pm
72 Temple Owl
hi phan
9:18 pm
phandmd
how's it giong?
9:19 pm
MollyL
The recipe I use is:
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
Pinch salt
¼ tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp margarine
2 Tbsp milk, coffee or water
Chocolate chips (optional)
9:20 pm
72 Temple Owl
cook how long? do you recommend mixing dry into wet?
9:21 pm
MollyL
Wet first then dry helps to keep flour from sticking to the bottom of the cup. You cook it for a minute.
9:25 pm
72 Temple Owl
less than i tb of butter worked
9:26 pm
welki
these are cooked in a mug? what size?
9:28 pm
welki
*thinking of what the microwave would look like if a too-small mug was used*
9:28 pm
72 Temple Owl
regular mug, mine is small. wondering if a custard cup would be better
9:29 pm
welki
wow - pyrex custard cups. haven't seen one of them in a long time
9:30 pm
72 Temple Owl

9:33 pm
welki
cookware was one of my *danger, will robinson* habits - wish i could unload some of my stuff. quiche pans, langue du chat pans, cuisinart dx10, kitchenaid 5 qt mixer, etc- don't need them anymore
9:33 pm
welki
too heavy to ship to the kids
9:33 pm
welki
(and the cookbooks, too)
9:34 pm
welki
i sneak one or two into the kids' bags every time they visit - will take years to empty the shelves :)
9:35 pm
72 Temple Owl
wow. you don;t use the kitchenaid?
9:37 pm
welki
no, not really - every now and then i pull it out of the pantry for ol' times sake - but i just don't cook like i used to anymore
9:37 pm
welki
my martha stewart days are over - like really over
9:38 pm

9:38 pm
72 Temple Owl

9:39 pm

9:40 pm

9:42 pm
72 Temple Owl
i think reyna's oldest is deacon's / they did not say anything but i think so.
9:42 pm
MollyL
I love to cook. Even though it's just two of us now. I'd rather cook than eat out any day.
9:42 pm
72 Temple Owl
what do you think?
9:42 pm
MollyL
I've thought that Maddie was Deacon's for a long time.
9:43 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes, i think you are right.
9:43 pm
72 Temple Owl
a good episode so far. did you tivo it?
9:43 pm
MollyL
In typical soap opera fashion, Maddie will get sick and Deacon will be the only blood type match for her. No, I don't Tivo. I watch on Hulu Plus.
9:46 pm
72 Temple Owl
