we had two hours of demi=sun yesterday and today it's raining AGAIN
2:45 am

aw how sweet :) Please tell Burt hi from me, and a big hug... and one for you as well of course.
2:46 am
rubyfoo

happily, almost everything has been planted and I don't think it's possible that we'll get any frost, but spring has surely passed us by
2:46 am
sprite

oh wow, sun. Raining here as well, and it is unpleasantly cold.
2:47 am
sprite

Rob is finishing my veggie garden containers! I can plant the seeds soon now.
2:51 am
rubyfoo

would you mind telling me again how you plant potatoes in containers? I'm not doing it, but my housekeeper is and I couldn't quite remember
2:52 am
rubyfoo

tear
2:52 am
sprite

oh it is easy. You only fill up the bottom of the container with soil, then you plant the seed potatoes. Once the leaves come up, you cover them with soil again. Repeat until container is full of soil.
2:53 am
rubyfoo

and then?
2:54 am
sprite

then just water when necessary. The potatoes will fill the whole container. When the leaves die, the potatoes can be harvested. But they will keep well in the ground until late autumn at least.
2:57 am
rubyfoo

ty
2:58 am
sprite

np, glad to share. Sometimes people do it with car tires, they add a new tire every time the leaves come up.
3:00 am
sprite

oh one final thing: if she wants to do it again next year, she needs new soil. Potatoes kinda drain the soil from nutrients and they attrack some bugs.
3:00 am

I gave her some large clay planters which woud be perfect

Trifioso

I think it means:
3:07 am
Trifioso

sleep triffies, sleep
3:07 am
sprite

oh, as most lullabies, it is more about the sound than the meaning. Literally translated it goes like:
Sleep, Triffles, sleep

3:18 am

6:23 am
grannyrose

i am soooo looking forward to retirement. last february it has been 43 years since i entered the work force. i figure, by paying taxes for all that time, i have ea4ed the right to retire. lol
6:24 am
puglet

Do what you can while you still can do it--
6:24 am
puglet

I would say so Rose!
6:26 am
grannyrose

well, i can retire, providing i use my superannuation as a pension fund. the government will not pay me a pension for another 3 1/2 years....go figure.
6:28 am
grannyrose

unless i am able to receive a disability pension...not sure if that would be enough....
6:28 am
puglet

Ive always worked too Rose! Mostly hard work and Iam paying for it now. I came from a large family and we worked as kids at home. Paperroute--cleaning for elderly people in the town and taking care of our animals and home. Ive had several jobs-many years at some and no so many at others but I always enjoyed working--guess we got it at home--lol
6:31 am
puglet

If it werent that Iam needed here at home -I would go back into the workforce
6:31 am
grannyrose

understand puglet. would be willing to work for another 10 years...if the fibromyalgia wasn't so debilitating. i do the best i can...but in my line of work, it's not fair on my colleagues.

6:39 am
grannyrose

puglet, have been officially diagnosed since 2003,have had the symptoms since 1982.
6:41 am
puglet

And I bet your stress does not help either
6:42 am
grannyrose

i went through menopause at the age of 34 years old. and when a heap of musculo-skeletal problems started, i was curious, as well as worried. this isn't as bad as MS thankgoodness.
6:43 am
grannyrose

ahhh, puglet, on the mark as always. yes...stress does exacerbate the condition.
6:43 am
puglet

Yes that is a blessing--I got a childhood friend that has ms and its so sad to see her keep wasting away
6:46 am
puglet

My sister lives a few houses down from her and she goes and helps her clean and whatever. But she falls from her chair(wheelchair) alot and my sisters husband has to go and help her up. She lives alone now. But shes always in good spirits though
6:50 am

the trouble is, everyone is different. some people have mental illness, and it's a big struggle for them to converse with people at all, even online. some of us (like me) find the fillers of regular conversation rather tiresome and actually prefer NOT to be said hello to when we come in and just start chatting away on some topic or asking for clues. so there is no one way to act that would work for everyone anyway.
10:43 am
Flask1

thanks Chrissie!

so i guess i figure we just have to try to kinda be tolerant of the differences and know that it won't always be the way we prefer it and sometimes it will and kinda just go with the flow if we can and all that

do you?
12:33 pm

no problem here, how do you make your crust
12:35 pm

well I tried new ones each time hoping to find the one! lol--this one 3cflr-1c shorting-1Tvingar-1tsalt-1egg-1/3cwate\nr
12:35 pm
puglet

so far its seems the best
12:36 pm
puglet

1/3 c water (is what I meant)
12:36 pm
flosey

I use a very simple one
12:37 pm
flosey

3 cups all purpose flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 1/4 cups cold shortening, 1/4 cup cold butter, 1 large egg beaten with 1/3 cup ice cold water
12:37 pm
flosey

sounds very similar to yours
12:38 pm
puglet

my main problem isnt the mixing but when I roll it out it wants to fall apart before I get it to the pan
12:38 pm
puglet

thanks--I will try yours
12:38 pm
flosey

when I was with daughter, I made a crust for her but she wanted me to use lard instead - worked very well - I think there's a recipe on the box of lard
12:39 pm
flosey

perhaps not sufficient moisture in it puglet, for it to fall apart
12:39 pm
flosey

just try a little more water to make it hold together
12:40 pm
flosey

some recipes will advise putting in the frig for a bit - I'm usually in too much of hurry to bother and it is fine
12:40 pm

ok I will try it when I bake again--thank you

the gi6 I found looks like someone who drinks a juniper tasting liquor?

we have a famous town here.it is called Timmins.it is a Northern twon about 6 hours drive north of Toronto.it is not famous for it's name,or where it is or for it's majority of french speaking people.it's claim to fame as a small town is that at last count it had over 54 bars or pubs for a population of under 50,000:)
4:55 pm
lilliann

hi lbd :)
4:55 pm

4:56 pm

4:57 pm
lilliann

i was going to say i'd like to go to timmins but brecon is nearer and more pubs in a smaller area :)
4:57 pm
Jillyjill

You probably shut down the others crossy ;)
4:57 pm
crosshair

lol
4:57 pm
Glantarell

drink drive laws, less money around, fewerfarmers coming into town on livestok market day (livestock market moved out of town cetre)
4:57 pm
crosshair

well,there is only 18 now we are told:(((
4:57 pm
lilliann

really glant, that is so sad
4:58 pm
crosshair

ahh
4:58 pm
Glantarell

but 18 pubs for 5000 people is still a high pporportion per head
4:58 pm
Glantarell

it would be like timmins having 180
4:59 pm
crosshair

we have 3 sports bars and 2 pubs here in out town of 22,000 and they all teamed up and bought one of those little school buses that hold 15 or so.after midnight the bus just goes from place to place taking people home in town that need it
4:59 pm
lilliann

so many working mens' clubs, pubs have closed down since the no smoking ban and also you can buy cheaper drink in the supermarkets now
4:59 pm
Glantarell

fantastic transport plan crossy
5:00 pm

The breweries are the thing here...and the tavern association is trying their best to shut them down...I prefer the breweries to a bar

5:00 pm
lilliann

that sounds cool crossy
5:00 pm
crosshair

i have,kje
5:00 pm
Glantarell

i am very glad we have the no smoking thing because pubs are now lovely places to spend time, but since the ban came in the number of adults smoking on wales has only fallen by 1%, which is not waht was predicted
5:01 pm
lilliann

i haven't kje but i will write it down to look at later
5:01 pm
crosshair

so,they are smoking and drinking at home instead
5:02 pm
kje

I don't know how he survived in there, it looks totally flattened
5:02 pm
crosshair

near the end of the vid it looks like he has a problem with his back right leg..poor puppy
5:02 pm
lilliann

i think it has fallen more in england glant. my hubby and i gave up before the ban and i know of alot of friends who have given up since but it wasn't so much to do with the ban, just that they were ready to give up
5:03 pm
crosshair

as you all know the mrs and i quit the lung darts in 2002
5:03 pm
kje

yes, he is def limping, crossy, but overall, moving amazingly well
5:04 pm
lilliann

which is why supermarkets do cheaper drink crossy and still make a profit as they know people don't want to go outside in all weathers to smoke.
5:05 pm
lilliann

you and your's gave up 2 years before me and hubby crossy
5:05 pm
crosshair

our stores are not allowed to sell alcohol,lillian we have a govenment entity known as the LCBO the liquer control board of ontario. they buy from distilleries and breweries,add theri own taxes and mark up and sell to the consumer
5:05 pm
crosshair

we get buggered when we buy alcohol
5:05 pm
Jillyjill

I am in tears watching that kje....some reminders that there is always good...
5:06 pm
lilliann

the thing is, they say that you can't smoke in a workplace, but it's not right for lorry drivers who just drive that one lorry all the time and are away from home all the time.the lorry is there home
5:06 pm
Glantarell

good to watch kje, didn't even kn ow about the tornado
5:06 pm
crosshair

we have saved so much money quitting the smokes lillian,around $20,000 and counting with our tobacco prices
5:07 pm
Glantarell

ciggies are over $10 a pack of 20 here now
5:07 pm
kje

yep, I teared up also... she is so stoic at the beginning of the video about losing her dog, just dealing with reality, then gets all emotional when all of a sudden he is found
5:07 pm
lilliann

so, none of your supermarkets sell alcohol crossy?
5:07 pm
crosshair

for one person to smoke here now is about 6000 dollars per year
5:07 pm
crosshair

yup,about the same here,glant
5:07 pm
crosshair

no,they do not,lillian
5:08 pm
crosshair

they are not allowed.they would love to
5:08 pm
crosshair

the only exeption is if a town has a certain population and it is over 50 k from the nearest lcbo outlet
5:08 pm
lilliann

our government is trying to stop out supermarkets from selling alcohol at cheap prices as they say it is getting people to drink more and become binge drinkers and alcoholics
5:09 pm
crosshair

then one store in town can apply for a special permit
5:09 pm
Glantarell

30 years ago only pubs and small stores called 'off licences' could sell alcohol but now pretty much every superm arket and sall store can sell it so it is easily available form 6 am Monday morning until midnighgt saturday, and also between 10 and 4 on sundays
5:09 pm
crosshair

uh huh.they want to keep the taxes for themselves
5:09 pm
Glantarell

there was once a scheme similar to yours in operation in the UK, back in the 1920s
5:10 pm
lilliann

so where do the lcbo sell the alcohol to consumers then crossy?
5:10 pm
crosshair

for a 26 ounce bottle of hard booze,the govt pays 9 dollars at the distillery when they buy bulk.by the time we buy it and pay all the taxes,that bottle is now 26 dollars.that is why they want to stop store sales in your area
5:11 pm
crosshair

at their own lcbo outlets,lillian
5:11 pm
lilliann

ahh ok
5:11 pm
crosshair

yes,they have it all locked up tight
5:11 pm

5:13 pm

aye the big stores here can sell it 24 hours now but a few years ago you couldn't buy alcohol until 11am and until 10pm
5:13 pm
Glantarell

8:51 pm
Jacula

gremlinn - one of our friends from the pub once did that and succeeded in the car park of the pub we were both in back in the 70s. We came out and thought our car had been stolen because it was gone. 20 minutes later it was back but with a pair of leather gloves on the passenger seat. We were very puzzled. So was the bus driver who had mistakenly got into and driven our car 2 minutes down the road to his bus depot to go on shift and then asked the driver he was relieving to drive his car back to the pub car park so he could get it after shift. He also thought that he might be a bit fuddled, since he saw a cassette player in the car and knew he didn't have one. he knew he'd left his gloves on the passenger seat of the car... but when he came back to it (his own car by this time) there were no gloves and definitely not a cassette player in sight. It was about 3 days later when we all met up again - us thinking, Odd! Why would a car thief take our car and then bring it back and leave us a pair of leather gloves?' and him thinking he was going bonkers. Once the pub owner put the two stories together and then put us back together we realised what had happened. You couldn't make it up, could you? lol

9:16 pm
gremlinn

1/10 prefix plus the shortened form of an area unit (used for land measurements)
9:17 pm
Jacula

penquis - it's a unit of surface measurement. dec + personal pronoun + we *r* all Babblers here.
9:18 pm

9:20 pm
penquis

9:21 pm
gremlinn

one de7 works out to about 2.5 times the floor space of a king-size bed

9:23 pm
penquis

thanks....the definitions are nice, but i don't know those words.....jacula....getting stumped on the personal pronoun part....this is english?
9:24 pm
Jacula

de6/24 - if you haven't got it yet, is also a surface measurement but can be explained as 'to take nurturing away from' sto stop ca4/5ing for.
9:25 pm
jmcnrick

A pronoun designating the person speaking the person spoken to or the person or thing spoken about.
9:25 pm
Jacula

I, you, she, he or it normally, penquis.
9:26 pm

10:57 pm
stidmama

doing "okay" right now, nan -- there is a lot to do, and I was pretty ineffective for about 8 weeks, but back on track now.
10:57 pm
stidmama

how are you?
10:58 pm
cybernan

has reconstruction begun yet?
10:58 pm
grannyrose

hey, i bet you will never guess what i did this morning.
10:58 pm
cybernan

good, thanks, stid. Heading down to Vancouver in a couple of weeks for our granddaughter's 3rd birthday
10:59 pm
cybernan

what, granny?
10:59 pm
grannyrose

i'm sure you were stiddy. but being the gutsy lady you are, i know you will get through this.
10:59 pm
stidmama

has it been three years already? how the time flies!
10:59 pm
stidmama

I bet you ran a mini-marathon, granny!
10:59 pm
grannyrose

was going into work, to the change-room. some idiot had mopped the floor and not left out a wet floor sign.
11:00 pm
cybernan

yes - I had forgotten that she was born a just a few days after we met you.
11:00 pm
stidmama

tear-down hasn't happend yet, nan --- the contractor needed data from us (my 8 weeks of ineffectiveness at play) that I didn't know... and the bank needs a firm quote from the contractor before finalizing, and the contractor needs finalizing from the bank to start work. *sigh*
11:00 pm
stidmama

oh no grannyrose! **gentle protective hugs**
11:00 pm
grannyrose

my RIGHT foot skidded backwards, i went down on the kinee, hard, and then skewed the knew sideways.
11:01 pm
cybernan

sounds like catch 22!
11:01 pm
cybernan

ouch -- hope you are wearing a brace on it for awhile
11:01 pm
stidmama

oh gee. workman's comp? how bad is it sprung? oh no ...
11:01 pm
grannyrose

oh lord, i'm still under the influence of the narcotic they gave me in emergency.
11:02 pm
grannyrose

fortunately only soft tissue injury, not dislocated and patella intact
11:02 pm
cybernan

get some good books, sit with the leg elevated and alternate ice and heat 3x for 10 min ea. every 2 hours -- great excuse for idleness!
11:02 pm
stidmama

this is what you didn't need, though. oh dear... *fluffs pillows and brings hot cocoa*
11:03 pm
stidmama

do you want to borrow my ipad?
11:03 pm
grannyrose

nan, in a zimmer splint for 3 days, and not allowed to fully weight bear for a week
11:03 pm
stidmama

I can ship it extra-fast express...
11:03 pm
stidmama

zimmer splint? I thought zimmers were raincoats? *confused mama look*
11:05 pm
grannyrose

stiddy, it's a splint which locks my knee straight. not sure where the name came from, guess it's the sadistic person who thought it up. can only take it off for physio and showering
11:06 pm
grannyrose

but right now i don't want to bend it. i think i'm gonna have a whopper of a bruise, considering i am on anticoagulants.
11:06 pm
stidmama

oh, at least it comes off, I guess!
11:06 pm
stidmama

yuck
11:09 pm
stidmama

there. NBT and down to 90. not bad for starting late I guess
11:10 pm
grannyrose

awww, gee, stiddy. i think it's so unfair that when we are in the middle of such a stressful situation, everyone seems to drag it out
11:10 pm
grannyrose

whoa, stiddy, you're on fire

nan, I took the floorplans to the contractor today, but he is out of town until next Tuesday. When he sees the changes I want, he can give us a quote... and then we can discuss "next steps."
