2:05 am

puglet

I plan too Rose! I dont mind the thunderstorms but those tornados are another thing

2:07 am

gapeach

Pug, I grew up in western KY and we just didn't have tornados back then.....it quite scary now. A few years ago, one took out quite a few blocks downtown.

2:10 am

puglet

the summer before one hit very close to us. My sister and I were in the outside shed huddled down and we could hear and feel the rumbling of that thing! We had pictures and stuff from the homes destroyed in our yard. It took out several homes our covered bridge near by not counting all the poles,lines and trees

2:13 am

gapeach

Oh, my. That is so frightening. Glad you and your sister were not injured.

2:13 am

grannyrose

too close and scary, puglet. and now we are havong tornados here in ozland. we have had willy-willies, cyclones, typhoons, but never a lot of tornados. they are occurring with greater frequency.

2:15 am

puglet

Its frightening what mother nature can do! Everything you own can be gone in a second! I hope you all stay safe as well during these times

2:20 am

grannyrose

"these times" being the exact words to be used.

2:23 am

puglet

Rose I got my cabbage and kale flowering plants--so far they are doing great--I went to that site you gave me about them and if I understand it they grow ever year

2:24 am

grannyrose

lol, puglet...that is so good. would you believe it? just after you and i were discussing them, my ex-DIL gave me a bunch of flowers with one of them in it. i nearly died.

2:25 am

puglet

(((LOL)) did you plant it? How odd is that?

2:26 am

grannyrose

*giggle* no i didn't, but it has inspired me to have a go at growing them too

2:27 am

puglet

good! I think it must of been ment to be for you to have one--lal

2:29 am

grannyrose

now all i n eed is the time and some dryish weather in order to play in the garden.

2:31 am

flosey

2:31 am

grannyrose

oh, and the time on the watering system is working really well, so i'm going to plant miniature roses in mother macs window-boxes. thought i might put some tulip bulbs in around the boxes also...would be a nice surprise for her, come spring.

2:32 am

puglet

Iam sure it will all come about sooner or later! Would you be able to do that if the weather was right anyway?

2:32 am

flosey

2:32 am

2:41 am

grannyrose

oops....sorry....didn't mean to shout.

2:42 am

puglet

Rose are you getting aroung better now? How did it go at work on them taking resp. over your fall

2:43 am

puglet

I meant around--sorry

2:46 am

grannyrose

pugs, still a little stiff at times, but the swelling is going down, but the bruising is coming out now. it isn't quite so tender to touch.

2:47 am

grannyrose

and work has taken full responsibility for fall. especially after himself had a go at them. he was quite protective of me, and very indignant on my behalf. felt strange, after years of fending for myself.

2:48 am

puglet

thats really good Rose! It could of been so much worse. Hail to your knight in shining armor!!!lol

2:50 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah...i will hail him alright, lol. gotta love a man who wants to protect you. and the return-to-work co-ordinator came and saw me. made sure i was comfortable, had the correct seating, and support for my sore knee.

2:50 am

gapeach

Rose, is the last part of ti8 like when a couple go out socially? Thanks

2:51 am

grannyrose

no, peach. you eat from this, it is big and round and usually quite flat

2:53 am

gapeach

Thanks, hon, I think I should go to bed now and try to finish later.....still have 19 left.

2:53 am

puglet

Iam getting a bit tired so I think I will try to get in an hour or two of sleep(its almost 4am) Nice talking to you Rose and all others on here. Hope you all have a wonderful day/evening and May God grant you each a special Blessing---hugs

4:08 am

evening ruby

4:09 am

sprite

here as well again, ruby. We had 2 good days though. We are joking here that the summer of 2013 happened on 28 and 29 May.

4:10 am

rubyfoo

we had 1 1/2 days!

4:10 am

rubyfoo

Usually spring lasts more than 5 months

4:11 am

sprite

and statistically, a really bad spring is followed by an equally lousy summer. So alas, not much sun this year, probably.

4:11 am

rubyfoo

I look like a ghost of springs past!

4:11 am

sprite

lol

4:12 am

sprite

can I lean on you for a second? I have to go to the city to buy gifts for Tim's birthday and I am so stressed. Lots of things to do, and I kinda panic.

4:13 am

rubyfoo

hmmm, thinking what might help..... camomile tea (or xanax) before deprture?

4:14 am

rubyfoo

deciding, in advance, what you might buy (2 or 3 choices)?

4:14 am

sprite

oh... god you are so smart :D And I so stupid. yes of course, I have PILLS for that kinda thing.

4:14 am

rubyfoo

making a list of sequences of actiites?

4:14 am

sprite

yes, that will help too. I know which shop will probably have most of what I have in mind.

4:14 am

rubyfoo

all I can say is thank God for Xanax (and Pfizer! lol)

4:15 am

sprite

*hugs ruby* Thanks hun. That helps. Yes, all three. That is the way to handle panic. I really needed someone to get me back on track. Taking oxazepam now.

4:15 am

rubyfoo

you are talking to the latent anxiety queen

4:17 am

sprite

;)
I am doing very well with that, or have lately, and I sort of forgot about the pills. Hardly take them anymore.

4:17 am

rubyfoo

I don't think I could cope with Burt's ups and downs without

4:17 am

zoozzoom

4:18 am

rubyfoo

4:18 am

sprite

hiya zooz! *hug*

4:18 am

rubyfoo

4:18 am

rubyfoo

4:18 am

zoozzoom

4:18 am

4:19 am

zoozzoom

How did my S get that squiggle head..lol

4:19 am

rubyfoo

hadn't seen the word

4:20 am

sprite

not at all. I already had it, grin. And you get a freebee anyway for helping me.

4:20 am

zoozzoom

So what type of gifts are you going to get, Sprite?

4:20 am

rubyfoo

it's funny that I didn't see the word

4:20 am

sprite

no idea, zooz, lol!

4:21 am

rubyfoo

and not too many, I hope.....

4:21 am

zoozzoom

What do you think he needs..new shaver?

4:21 am

I just looked up a recipe on the food channel and they said a 4 lb brisket would take 4 hours at 325

8:42 am

extends from the in5

8:43 am

Riverdance

to bury

8:43 am

mkg

ty got the in 9

8:43 am

kje

325 seems high, doesn't it? I have looked at online recipes for the oven, but they are all over the place in temps... that is why I wondered if we had a master brisket cooker in the chog!

8:43 am

Riverdance

then plural

8:43 am

car.eeyore

Gotsta get my work done! Have a great day everyone! {{hugs}} all around!

8:44 am

river i cook it even longer and it becomes so soft. must be covered up well and sealed with alum foil

8:44 am

mkg

ty got it.

8:44 am

Riverdance

it does seems high to me too

8:44 am

mkg

ty river.

8:44 am

kje

the problem is, I broke the cardinal rule re not trying a new recipe for a party, so there is no room to experiment or screw up as I will have 10 hungry college kids here at 3p

8:45 am

kje

then again, they are college kids... they may eat anything

8:45 am

Riverdance

what temp do you use mkg

8:45 am

BzznBea

325 is too high, kje. I would think an hour a lb at 300.

8:45 am

kje

however, they are college kids living in San Francisco, so could be food snobs - lol

8:45 am

carleekat

hi all

8:45 am

kje

ty bzzz

8:46 am

BzznBea

Yes, college kids aren't going to be too critical.

8:46 am

BzznBea

Slice across the grain when done.

8:46 am

kje

the recipe looks great, but they didn't specify crock pot size, so it wasn't until I stuck the stuff in it that I saw it was too full.. almost up to the top

8:46 am

Riverdance

I say kids are kids....when food is concerned they just stuff it in and hardly know the taste

8:47 am

kje

aren't crock pots not supposed to be more than 2/3 full or something like that

8:47 am

BzznBea

I've always found that my crock pot is too hot even at low for a brisket.

8:47 am

kje

well, these are grad students, mostly in mid to late 20s, so not teenagers

8:47 am

Riverdance

yes....you are going to have to do it in the oven. I say the sooner you get it in there the better.

8:48 am

kje

ah.... see.... bzz talks like she knows how to do this. I knew there would be an expert in the chog

8:48 am

kje

thanks all... bbiab

8:48 am

MimiCat

I cook brisket a lot (and have a great recipe, BTW) and you must cook it "low and slow." I cook mine at 300 for 20 min. a lb. If you cook it higher and faster it will be tough.

8:49 am

BzznBea

20 minutes a pound? That doesn't seem like long enough, mimi.

8:49 am

MimiCat

If you want it done a bit faster, 325 probably would be OK but cover it and add beer and lots of flavorings and onions are a great idea...lots.

8:49 am

Anniebrook

Mimi, do you layer onions underneath the brisket?

8:50 am

mkg

if you put water in the pan and seal it, mimi, then you can do it at 350. but you are right that low and slow works.

8:50 am

mkg

onions are great with brisket. and you can also add potatos and carrots and celery and any other veges. oh so yummy.

8:51 am

Anniebrook

I put carrots and onions in with my brisket, also throw in a bay leaf or 2

8:51 am

Anniebrook

I never tried it with beer, will try that the next time I cook brisket...thanks for the beer, Mimi

8:52 am

MimiCat

Here is my brisket recipe: In roaster, garlic powder, salt and pepper brisket, sliced onions on top, cover with a jar Heinz chile sauce...brown uncovered for 20 minutes. Then, cover with 1-2 cans beer (the cheaper the beer, the better), cover and cook 20-30 minutes per pound depending on the heat of your oven. So yummy. The beer tenderizes the meat and cheaper beer is better due to the higher carb content.

8:52 am

mkg

good with beer. good with sweet stuff. good period.

I have crock pot recipes for brisket but do not currently have a crock pot so haven't tried them.

8:53 am

Anniebrook

I have a friend who puts ginger ale on her brisket

8:54 am

mkg

one can of cranberry sauce jelled kind, one can water, one cup ketchup. makes it like sweet and sour. so delish! and add in tons of onions and even garlic. yummy.

8:54 am

MimiCat

You can serve a horseradish sauce with it, too. So much brisket...so little time!

8:55 am

MimiCat

I love leftovers for sandwiches and often use a horseradish mustard on it....delish.

8:55 am

BzznBea

I'm from the midwest. Got to be served with tomato based barbeque sauce.

8:56 am

MimiCat

I'm from Ohio, Bea...understand! Oh, and to answer your question, since brisket is a fairly "thin" cut, the lesser amount of time is good otherwise you risk drying it out. I've done it this way for years. If it was a regular roast, no, this would be far too short a time to cook.

8:58 am

Riverdance

YOu all are making me hungry - time to get back to work anyway - have a great day ladies

8:59 am

MimiCat

I also have an excellent steak marinade: teriyaki sauce, red wine vinegar, garlic and onion powders...plop 'em in there and marinate until the flesh surrenders!

8:59 am

MimiCat

Me, too, River! HAGD.

9:00 am

MimiCat

Many words today same as yesterday....getting very tired of these grids lately....sorry to complain.

9:01 am

EvaNadine

man. dontcha hate it when you think of something as youre falling asleep and once you awaken in the morning, you can only remember that you thought of something, but not what that something was??

9:02 am

MimiCat

LOL, Eva!! I hate that! Also, have dreams I wish I could totally remember. Never seem to forget the ones I'd LIKE to forget, though!

9:03 am

kje

just moved the whole thing to the oven, it has already been in the crockpot for 2 hours, smells good, will see how it is doing in about 4 hours in the oven (at 300)

9:03 am

EvaNadine

its driving me nutso. hubby is home today, and i left him a note with something i needed him to do. as i fell asleep last night, i thought of something else to add to the note, but i couldnt for the life of me remember what it was this morning! and its driving me batty!

9:04 am

kje

bzzz, would 275 be too low to get it done by 2 so that it could be torn up and then rest in its juices for an hour, or is that too low for the time left?

9:05 am

BzznBea

No, 250-275 is where I would cook it.

9:05 am

kje

6 hours would do it?

9:06 am

BzznBea

Yes.

9:06 am

kje

even though it is 6.3 lbs, it was cut into 3rds for the crock pot, so should cook somewhat closer to smaller cuts of meat

9:06 am

kje

ty so much for your help, bzzz

9:06 am

MimiCat

I agree with Bea since you've already had it in the crock pot. Probably too late to add the beer, though, since the main purpose of the beer is to tenderize while raw. How many lbs. is the brisket?

9:06 am

kje

btw, this is what I am making... barbacoa, so not a classic beer/onion brisket thing...

9:06 am

BzznBea

Not a problem.

9:07 am

kje

http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-for-a-\ncrowd-big-game-day-barbacoa-165301

9:07 am

kje

it has lime juice and cider vinegar that tenderizes it, mimi... high acid like beer

9:08 am

MimiCat

Sorry, just saw how many lbs. I would just check it every so often to see how much the meat "gives."

9:08 am

MimiCat

Did you cook it in the crock pot at all first?

9:09 am

BzznBea

Hope it goes well, kje.

9:09 am

BzznBea

Time for me to bzz....pfft!

9:09 am

kje

well, yes, but like I said, it was too full, so not sure how much coooking it actually did, would have taken a long time to get up to temp at that fullness

9:09 am

MimiCat

Bye, Bea!

9:09 am

kje

the outside is pale brown now, but clearly still firm, no where near done

9:10 am

kje

I could touch it with my fingers and it was hot but not too hot to touch, so... not that far along

9:10 am

crosshair

howdy my babble friends: whats cookin?

9:11 am

kje

I'll check it in about 4, and plan on about 6 more hours unless it is falling apart before then

9:11 am

MimiCat

I think, in that case, you'll only need it in the oven for a total of about 4, maybe 5, hours. I think 6 will be too long, especially if they are separate cuts. You can cut into one in a couple of hours to see how pink it is..if it's just pink and not bloody, it is done.

9:11 am

MimiCat

((crossy)) kye is making brisket for a college army!

9:12 am

mexican fiesta!

9:12 am

mmm,corned beef brisket... crossy olds out a loaf of light rye brean in anticipation.slice her real thin and pile it on please

I really think the 4 is more like it, kye. Cut one to make sure.

9:12 am

I gave my brisket recipe earlier in chat, crossy....you'd LOVE it.

9:13 am

9:13 am

Also gave my steak marinade...easy.

9:13 am

and a jar of jumbo kosher garlic pickles

9:13 am

MimiCat

Love my horseradish mustard, crossy!

9:15 am

crosshair

we have a deli and they offer corned beef on light or dark rye and you can choose 4 oz,8 oz or a mamoth 12 oz of beautiful hot shaved corned beef with your choice of 15 types of mustard;))

9:17 am

crosshair

if find 12 oz a bit much.you can hardly open you mouth wide enough to get the sammich in so i usually go for the 8 oz

9:17 am

MimiCat

I'm so sad I don't have a deli I like very close since I don't have a car. My grocery store does have their own brand of horseradish mustard, though, that is actually better than the higher priced Emeril's. Must make my own brisket, though.

9:17 am

crosshair

here,brisket is so $$$ of late

9:17 am

MimiCat

I LOVE Reuben sandwiches but if you put too much meat on them, you lose the other flavors.

9:18 am

crosshair

pay 12 dollars and it barely takes care of three people

9:18 am

kje

yes, this brisket was more than I expected... used to be a cheap cut of meat

9:18 am

MimiCat

Remember when it used to be a cheap cut of meat? Also, pork tenderloin is too expensive now.

9:18 am

lol.my doctor tells me to steer clear of reubens

I used to buy a whole beef tenderloin to use as a roast and even used cuts of it for country fried steak. Now you'd have to get a loan to buy a tenderloin!

1:45 pm

TraderKate

6:36 pm

jmcnrick

but i can't figure out why a helicopter just flew over the mountain valley house i am in. . .

6:37 pm

rururocks

6:37 pm

MollyL

Cicadas...little beasts...we will be wading around in their dead carcass shells in a month or two.

6:37 pm

jmcnrick

6:38 pm

dan2bit

evening all!

6:38 pm

rururocks

what about fried cicadas?

6:38 pm

jmcnrick

when i packed up my law office to move it into my house i went through my hubby's file and found a file marked cicadas. . . he was around when the 17 year cicadas and the 5 or 10 or something cicadas both hit the same year. . .

6:39 pm

jmcnrick

anyway the file had a bunch of cicada shells in it! haha

6:39 pm

MollyL

Ugh, I am sure there are people who eat such things.

6:39 pm

jmcnrick

i hear they are tasty enough. . . i have never had them but the last time i told you some of things i had eaten you turned green. . .

6:39 pm

rururocks

...crunchy I bet....

6:39 pm

MollyL

Probably dipped in quinoa with a side of kale.

6:40 pm

rururocks

LOL

6:40 pm

jmcnrick

no more with a shot of tequila molls. . . or a beer

6:40 pm

rururocks

6:40 pm

jmcnrick

very crunchy. . .

6:40 pm

jmcnrick

don't look at me. . .i don't eat quinoa. . .

6:41 pm

jmcnrick

i tried it and kasha both and decided it was a good reason to eat meat. . .

6:41 pm

MollyL

All you have to do is tell people that cicadas are a "super food" and they will gobble them right up.

6:42 pm

jmcnrick

i think i will stick to my fried eggplant tonight. . .

6:42 pm

MollyL

Good plan

6:42 pm

jmcnrick

. . .and champagne. . .

6:43 pm

rururocks

6:43 pm

jmcnrick

6:47 pm

MollyL

Freixnet, not Andre.

6:48 pm

jmcnrick

6:48 pm

jmcnrick

oh dear i think ru is turning green again. . .

6:50 pm

6:54 pm

rururocks

Krug is the best

6:54 pm

periwinkle

6:55 pm

rururocks

6:55 pm

rururocks

Costco carries it

6:55 pm

MollyL

Thank you. I will remember that when I get rich.

6:55 pm

periwinkle

MollyL

Damn, more tornadoes in Oklahoma and Arkansas.

7:02 pm

MimiCat

Really good with poppyseed dressing.

7:02 pm

periwinkle

that does not sound good, Molls

7:03 pm

rururocks

I have a friend flying to Arkansas for a wedding

7:03 pm

periwinkle

not sure about the poppyseed dressing tho

7:03 pm

MimiCat

It's great just plain.

7:04 pm

rururocks

don't take any drug tests after ingesting Poppyseed dressing

7:04 pm

periwinkle

whipped cream or vanilla ice cream could be good on any fruit salad

7:04 pm

periwinkle

good to know, ruru

7:04 pm

MollyL

<---Votes for whipped cream

7:04 pm

rururocks

I like to add Raspberry Liquer

7:04 pm

periwinkle

I know someone who tested positive after eating a popyseed bagel. it was very upsetting

7:04 pm

periwinkle

raspberry liquer, mmmm

7:05 pm

rururocks

me too.. but with a poppyseed muffin.. and didn't get the job

7:05 pm

MollyL

Ooo, I've had fruit salad with raspberry liqueur. It's really good.

7:05 pm

rururocks

<----fruit salad savant

7:05 pm

periwinkle

well I need to buy some raspberry liqeur then

7:06 pm

MollyL

It's good on vanilla ice cream too, Peri.

7:06 pm

periwinkle

oh yes, it would be

7:06 pm

periwinkle

it would probably be good all by itself :)

7:06 pm

periwinkle

I only have apricot brandy

7:07 pm

MollyL

I would probably eat quinoa if it had raspberry liqueur on it. : D

7:07 pm

rururocks

buy a french framboise liquer peri.. they're better

7:07 pm

periwinkle

quinoa is not that bad, I like it

7:07 pm

periwinkle

ty ruru, I will

7:08 pm

rururocks

quinoa is like sawdust

7:08 pm

periwinkle

I wish my birthday was coming up, I know what I would ask for

7:09 pm

rururocks

7:09 pm

7:09 pm

7:10 pm

Lizlin

Good morning / good evening all :)

7:10 pm

rururocks

hi liz

7:10 pm

MimiCat

No, it's raspberry, ruru.

7:10 pm

MimiCat

((Liz))

7:10 pm

rururocks

7:11 pm

MimiCat

It's raspberry, ruru...positive.

7:11 pm

rururocks

oh.. it's black raspberry liqueur

7:11 pm

rururocks

what's the cranberry one then?

7:11 pm

rururocks

7:13 pm

MollyL

Sambuca?

7:21 pm

onyx

sambuca... yum

7:21 pm

onyx

7:22 pm

onyx

oops the kitty entered that one , she is on my keyboard

7:22 pm

MimiCat

But can't find a name brand for the cranberry liquer...tried. They do tell you how to make it yourself, though! Sambuca is anise flavored.

7:23 pm

MollyL

Luxardo Sambuca is a brand name for liqueur.

7:24 pm

MimiCat

But it's not cranberry, Molly.

7:25 pm

MimiCat

In any case, the cantaloupe and kiwi is excellent all by itself. Now I'm outta here until tomorrow. Hugs all around.

7:25 pm

Lizlin

Bye Mimi - enjoy your evening :)

7:26 pm

MimiCat

You can probably get LOTS of Kiwi fruit there, Liz!

7:27 pm

MimiCat

But it's your winter now, right?

7:27 pm

Lizlin

Yes we can - most of the year - not always cheap though! Yummy :)

7:28 pm

7:53 pm

Nef

stid; did you feel good about the interview?

7:54 pm

stidmama

I actually did, nef -- only a couple of little things I might have asked or expanded on, and those were not substantial, I think.

7:55 pm

stidmama

I know that I have appreciated being at that school as a sub, and I said so -- it would be a good place, and a good placement for me.

7:56 pm

Nef

That is a good sign then. Especially if you've subbed there before!

7:56 pm

Bugsaw

If you have been there as a sub and they had a short interview it sounds like they already know that you will fit. Now it just comes down to seniority.

7:56 pm

Nef

how far away is it?

7:56 pm

Lizlin

It's good that they know you and you know them. Do you know what the opposition was like?

7:56 pm

stidmama

from our real home about half an hour even on pretty dicey days. from the apartment about eight minutes.

7:57 pm

Bugsaw

sounds good either way stid. I sure hope the job is ours

7:57 pm

stidmama

I don't, I think the person before me (a younger woman) looked a little shell-shocked, and the person after me (middle-aged man) looked experienced. I think I am "in between"

7:57 pm

Nef

fingers, toes, and everything else possible crossed for you!

I tried to be positive about the learning experiences I will have -- and I really am excited about some of the other opportunities for stretching myself as a professional. I think that was pretty clear. I also left them copies of the lesson plan and handouts... and showed them how I used my ipad to develop the presentation and the posted it to the web. I am not afraid of technology!

peach that was a great clue! Vi 7 is someone who knows grapes and wine

8:26 pm

Nef

(actually just the wine I guess)

8:28 pm

Nef

did you get it yet?

8:29 pm

gapeach

I just looked at Google but haven't found it yet.

8:29 pm

DR1965

8:30 pm

gapeach

I tried vinemen, but that wasn't it.

8:30 pm

torgone

A person who makes or sells wines ..

8:30 pm

Nef

it uses the dble consonents with another consonent in between them

8:31 pm

DR1965

that got it Nef- I was spelling it wrong

8:32 pm

gapeach

I cannot believe I'm this ignorant.

8:33 pm

gapeach

I'll google again.

8:33 pm

Shirlockc

fe7/8?

8:34 pm

Nef

I wish I could clue it better; but I can't think of how to do that

8:35 pm

Nef

aged grapes fe7 in bottles or kegs; then pl

8:35 pm

MollyL

vi7...first three of a plant shoot that climbs up walls + last four of par****s in crime

8:35 pm

Shirlockc

8:36 pm

Nef

(I need to give up on cluing)

8:36 pm

DR1965

I got your clue just fine Nef

8:36 pm

Nef

thanks for that one, Molly. I WAS TRYING TO FIND A WORD THAT THAT WOULD WORK IN

8:37 pm

MollyL

Your clues are fine Nef. : )

8:39 pm

Nef

sorry about yelling; was startled by the phone ringing and had to answer

8:39 pm

rururocks

you hope they don't fe7 in bottle

8:40 pm

Nef

doesn't champagne do it in bottles? (I am not at all knowledgeable about this)

8:40 pm

welki

hi babblers

8:40 pm

DR1965

Hi welki

8:40 pm

rururocks

well.. champagne sure does.. you're right there nef

8:41 pm

gapeach

Thanks much, y'all. I knew I would feel really stupid when I found it....I do. I'll see y'all at the flip. Thanks again for all the help.

8:41 pm

Nef

bye peach!

8:43 pm

Nef

I watch "How's it made" on the science channel a lot, ruru.

8:44 pm

Nef

I guess I thought other wines did that too

8:47 pm

Nef

"hi welki and DR. I'm not very alert tonight and guess I keep talking in the wrong box again)

8:47 pm

welki

reminds me of moonshine cake - a fad in the 80s, cake made with a fruit starter that you let ferment

8:47 pm

welki

yipes. *to the PB*

8:48 pm

Nef

I put soom really good dark chocolates in there when I was there (on first coming here tonight)

8:49 pm

welki

8:50 pm

jmcnrick

*bounce bounce bounce*

8:50 pm

jmcnrick

the dishwasher works!

8:50 pm

Nef

Good news, jmc! Can you fix my thermostat now?

8:51 pm

welki

at your sister's?

8:51 pm

jmcnrick

*stops bouncing* no sorry. . .the guy came out and i said there is no water in the dishwasher and he said did you turn the water on. . .

8:51 pm

jmcnrick

turns out there was a cutoff valve under the sink!

8:52 pm

jmcnrick

yes at my sisters (where the helicopter buzzed earlier tonight)

8:52 pm

welki

you runnin' a grow op?

8:52 pm

Nef

oh, well; at least it was an easy fix!

8:53 pm

jmcnrick

haha that is what ru thought too

8:53 pm

jmcnrick

check the battery on your thermostat nef. . .

8:53 pm

welki

children of the 60s

8:53 pm

welki

well 50s

8:53 pm

welki

nevermind - you know what i mean *lol*

8:53 pm

jmcnrick

turn off the a/c heat and take the thermostat off the wall and remove the back and change the batteries. . .

8:54 pm

jmcnrick

i paid $90 to learn that one. . .

8:54 pm

jmcnrick

flower child of the 60s ;-)

8:54 pm

welki

yes, that's it

8:55 pm

MollyL

My Dad used to leave a note about what to turn on and what to power off at their house. It helped a lot when we went to stay there.

8:55 pm

welki

you'd get a chuckle at my h.s. pics - raising my fist in solidarity with the women's liberation club

8:57 pm

jmcnrick

the kitchen was just remodeled. . .neither my sister nor I knew about the cut off valve. . .

8:59 pm

welki

no damage to the dishwasher?

9:02 pm

jmcnrick

no, just needed water

9:02 pm

jmcnrick

dishes all washed now

9:03 pm

welki

and best of all, no beeping

9:04 pm

jmcnrick

yes . . .that made for a difficult night. . .

9:05 pm

jmcnrick

now my biggest problem is the heat. . .

9:06 pm

welki

you're staying at your sister's because it's near where your class is? how long will you be there?

9:07 pm

jmcnrick

yes. . . i leave tomorrow after class and then come back sunday night for two more nights. . .class is over on tuesday and then i have 2 papers due

9:07 pm

jmcnrick

it is only 45 minutes away. . .down the mountain through the mountain pass (different mountains) and then down the highway

9:08 pm

Nef

sorry, DH wanted me to come out and enjoy his new fire pit. He got it started; and it started raining again.

9:08 pm

welki

very rural, jm? (and nef - bring out the umbrellas!)

9:08 pm

jmcnrick

15 minutes to get the 5 miles through the mountains and 30 minutes to get the 40 miles down the highway

9:09 pm

jmcnrick

oh too bad nef. . . so disappointing when you want to show off something new. . .

9:09 pm

jmcnrick

yes very rural. . .

9:09 pm

Nef

jmc; I did change the batteries on the thermostat; that's when the problem started. We can heat the house, but it says "NO AIR" when I try to turn on the A/C. (at least it hasn't been warm enough to use it yet)

9:09 pm

jmcnrick

i am surrounded by bunny rabbits and deer. . .

9:09 pm

welki

ohhhhh - can you hear the spring peepers?

9:09 pm

jmcnrick

saw the youngest fawn ever yesterday. . . i have seen bigger cats. . .

9:10 pm

jmcnrick

no the cicada are drowning them out welki

9:10 pm

jmcnrick

dear me nef. . . did you try switching them? maybe in backwards? or make sure you have very new batteries. . .

9:11 pm

Nef

it sounds beautiful, jmc.

9:11 pm

welki

i miss the sound of spring peepers, the crazy yellow forsythias, that earthy smell after a rain and, most of all, i miss the sea

9:11 pm

jmcnrick

is there a separate switch somewhere for the air?

9:11 pm

welki

it's been raining here for a few days - all it is is wet.

9:12 pm

jmcnrick

no sea here! but i am trying to root some new forsythia from where teh construction guys killed them

9:12 pm

Nef

no. jmc. I'm going to call someone on Monday to check what's wrong. I've never had a problem before; the whole HVAC system was new in 2007

9:12 pm

jmcnrick

i once paid $100 for a worker to flip a switch on the stairs that i had no idea connected to anything. . .

9:12 pm

welki

oh! and pussy willows!

9:13 pm

MollyL

I have peep frogs in the creek out back. They are my favorite sound of Spring.

9:13 pm

Nef

this has been such a nasty year here my lilacs just bloomed along with the lilts of the valley (a month late!) and the forsythia never bloomed at all

9:13 pm

jmcnrick

this actually has been an amazing year for roses! they all look like they are on steroids. . . police have been running drug tests on them. . .

9:14 pm

welki

just yelled out to the expert - he says there may be an air flow sensor that's telling you the air filter on the furnace is plugged

9:14 pm

jmcnrick

oh how sad nef...but i always bring a few stems of forsythia in to force in feb. . .

9:14 pm

welki

i should find a recording of them :)

9:15 pm

jmcnrick

ah i think he may be right. . .i remember reading about that. . . i have no a/c so harder for me to guess

9:15 pm

Nef

I just changed that too, welki. (I'm the one who takes care of those things and write down dates when I do it too)

9:15 pm

welki

found one :)

9:15 pm

jmcnrick

i got my mother a 30 minute recording of a mockingbird that never repeated itself. . .she loved listening to that

9:15 pm

welki

maybe you changed the filter, but there's residue on the sensor

9:16 pm

jmcnrick

where would the sensor be?

9:16 pm

welki

or could be the sensor's shot

9:16 pm

Nef

hmmm. I need to find where that sensor is then... Thanks for the idea, welki

9:16 pm

welki

hang on, let me give him a shout, he just went upstairs

9:16 pm

jmcnrick

babblers are a helpful lot!

9:17 pm

Nef

they are indeed, jmc!

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

well the bottle of champagne is starting to kick in so i think i will take a little nap . . .

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

you could search for a manual on line nef. . .i often find schematics and suggestions online for things. . .

9:17 pm

Nef

okay, jmc.

9:18 pm

welki

he says they rarely fail - says it's a small box with two copper tubes - one goes in front of the air filter, one behind

9:18 pm

welki

when did you change the filter?

9:18 pm

jmcnrick

anyway i am off to sleep. . . good luck on the a/c nef

9:18 pm

Nef

I tried calling the help line; but I need the model number and so far I can't find that on the thermostat

9:18 pm

jmcnrick

bye all

9:18 pm

welki

g'night my friend

9:19 pm

jmcnrick

try putting into google the brand and what you know and ask where is my model number. . .

9:19 pm

Nef

May 3rd, welki (my b'day)

9:19 pm

jmcnrick

*poof*

9:19 pm

Nef

niters, jmc

9:20 pm

welki

they couldn't tell you where the model number is? some help!

9:20 pm

MollyL

Nef, you party animal, you. : D

9:21 pm

Nef

hey, if I would have gotten to a person, it would have helped. Honeywell's "help line" is all automated and you have to know the model # to getfurther directions

9:21 pm

welki

hmmm hang on i think mine is a honeywell

9:22 pm

MollyL

Mine isn't a Honeywell, but the model number is on the inside of the part that flips open.

9:22 pm

Nef

Aren't I, Molly? I do know how to have fun..... I sent DH away for the evening and changed the furnace filter. :-)

9:23 pm

welki

yep - my model number is on a sticker - have to pull it off the wall to see it

9:23 pm

welki

(it's on the unit itself, not on the wall mount)

9:23 pm

Nef

Well, my sticker must have fallen off sometime. I took it off the wall to find the model number and still couldn't find it.

9:24 pm

welki

hang on, let me see if i have the manual

9:24 pm

Nef

I have 2 manuals (one for our old one, one for this one. I can't tell which is which

9:26 pm

Nef

the old one died; so I can't put it back up (this one is from 2008 or so)

9:27 pm

welki

about the same as mine - mine is TH8000 hang on

9:28 pm

welki

is this this one? http://tinyurl.com/yldfu4t

9:28 pm

torgone

The TH8000's always were a bit twitchy ..

9:29 pm

welki

fyi - limited 5 year warranty! lol

9:29 pm

welki

hi torg

9:29 pm

Nef

nope. Mine has just the time and temp showing in a small wind and off to the right is an up arrow, a down aarrow and a ? button

9:30 pm

Nef

I could adjust the temp up to 5 times per day.

9:30 pm

welki

was worth a shot. sorry, nef. anyway, off for the evening - g'night everyone

9:31 pm

Nef

5 year warranty? Well, that's about how old mine is..

9:31 pm

Nef

thanks so much for the help. welki. At least I know I should try and find some sensors now

9:32 pm

welki

not much you can do with them, nef - best leave the innards to the professionals

9:32 pm

MollyL

Nef, do an image search of Honeywell thermostats and see if you can match it up to a model number.

9:32 pm

Nef

LOL, welki! I promise not to mess it up worse!

9:33 pm

Nef

Who knows? The way the weather is going, we may not need A/C this year!

9:33 pm

Nef

Good idea, Molly!

9:37 pm

Nef

So far I've found 2 that look like mine; different modle numbers; so will have to study them a bit more.

9:43 pm

MollyL

Sorry Nef, I'm not very good with this kind of thing. The only thing I can think of is that your unit may have no freon in it, which might prompt a NO AIR message. In that case, you need to call the expensive guy.

9:46 pm

Nef

Molly, you are a wizard. I'm pretty sure it's the thermostat; and I finally have a model number (Honeywell CT3500). I'm so used to looking things up in books or use help lines I never thought of looking for the image of the thermostat

9:47 pm

Nef

(You need the model number to get help anywhere; even on line)

9:47 pm

MollyL

Well I'm glad that helped. Google searches can be helpful sometimes. Good luck with it.

9:49 pm

Nef

there is a little side note about this thermostat that the flashing filter warning can be reset; and the directions aren't in the instruction manual!

9:53 pm

Nef

I'm excited now; I have 11 more words till I get to 100; then I'm going to go see if I can fix the thermostat!

9:59 pm

Hello to my fellow babblers!How is everybody doing today?

10:07 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!

10:08 pm

Nef

YAY, T O!! WTG!!

10:09 pm

Nef

Hi Min.

10:09 pm

Minveryork

Hello Nef! How are you doing?I Haven't seen you in awhile.

10:11 pm

Nef

The past few weeks have been kind of crazy here. And I never Babble when my grandson is here. I'm fine; how are you doing?

10:12 pm

Minveryork

That's good! Family should ALWAYS before Babble, except in my case. I have a bad habit of doing the reverse often.

10:15 pm

Minveryork

*ALWAYS COME before Babble

10:18 pm

Nef

LOL! You caught me doing that (I was saying good night to DH) just now --putting family before Babble.

10:19 pm

Nef

But you don't do the reverse often; I think that Babble can be an escape when we're stressed by family too

10:20 pm

Minveryork

Well, I just got here. Took awhile for me to escape tonight

10:20 pm

Nef

rough day or night?

10:21 pm

Minveryork

I was watching a friend's dog so was playing with the dogs.

10:22 pm

Minveryork

Then when my friend picked up the dog, I hung out w/her.

10:22 pm

Minveryork

So in this case, I put dogs & my friends first, before Babble

10:23 pm

Nef

Good for you, Min! :-)

10:25 pm

Nef

I just read your profile. That would be fun; but I doubt if I could make it.

10:26 pm

Minveryork

Probably won't get any babblers from the Mid-west or East Coast, however, I wanted to put it out there for everyone.

10:26 pm

Nef

(Although, August would "possibly" work if I think about it...

10:27 pm

Minveryork

Well you can let me know. Nobody has sent me any e-mails

10:28 pm

Nef

when did you post that?

10:28 pm

Nef

What part of AUgust would it be?

10:29 pm

Minveryork

Actually, I posted it at the beginning of the week, but then I have not been here much this week or I have gotten here la 4/4 and the chat log was quiet. I am in no rush to plan.

10:30 pm

Minveryork

Can be anytime in August. That's why I want people's input

10:30 pm

Nef

all these small grids (or at least the ones I've seen have been small this week) really cuts down on the chat and community

10:30 pm

Minveryork

rururocks said that he would be in VT in August so if I do it in August, I would like to plan it around that time, if I can.

10:31 pm

Nef

do you know when that would be?

10:32 pm

Minveryork

He said he would be in Vermont August 18th,19th and 20th

10:32 pm

Nef

Hmmm. That might work for me....

10:34 pm

Nef

I have a wedding in mid Sept. in the middle of MT that I plan to go to also. Which part of VT? North or south?

10:35 pm

Minveryork

He said that he was going to a wedding. I think wedding is on Tues, August 20th so the babble meet up would be Sun or Saturday and Sunday if we want to make it 2-day event.

10:36 pm

Nef

you are really planning a party, aren't you? :-)

10:36 pm

Nef

what about your hubby?

10:37 pm

Minveryork

Not sure where his wedding is, but meet-up would be more northern Vermont I think. I am terrible with geography,but my parents live near Dartmouth College in New Hampshire

10:38 pm

Minveryork

Well, I figured if people are traveling far, whether it be by car or plane, I should make it worthwhile for them. I don't plan on inviting husband, but who knows! He might insist.

10:42 pm

Nef

I had to look up Dartmouth. It's in Hanover, NH; right? That's in southern NH (or close to the middle )

10:43 pm

Minveryork

Yes, I think it is in Southern N.H. Once again, terrible with geography!Maybe my parents live in central VT,who knows

10:44 pm

cosdem

i stayed at a private campground in dartmouth, very beautiful area

10:44 pm

Nef

LOL! How far is it for you to drive there?

10:45 pm

Minveryork

For me to drive there from New York is about 4 1/2 hours.

10:45 pm

Minveryork

Hello cosdem! How are you doing today? Welcome to chog.

10:45 pm

cosdem

it took us 4 hours from rutland vt to hanover

10:46 pm

cosdem

maybe 3.... cant remember it was in 2003

10:46 pm

Minveryork

Maybe a little less,if I drive REALLY fast,which I usually do.

10:46 pm

cosdem

i know it was a 4 hour drive from burl to manchester...

10:46 pm

Minveryork

I grew up in Vermont,but I have NEVER been to Rutland,VT

10:46 pm

Nef

hi cos. I wonder if it would be possible (since you want to do a bang up Babble meet up) for people to rent some dorm rooms on campus for this? (Some colleges do have plans like that

10:47 pm

Minveryork

There are a lot of places in Vermont that I have never seen

10:48 pm

cosdem

they do? I know Gallaudet in DC doesn't but they have a special building set aside for that kind of thing hmm

10:48 pm

Minveryork

Hanover, New Hampshire is 25 minutes away from parents house.There are plenty of hotels in New Hampshire as well

10:51 pm

Nef

a friend of mine has done a lot of traveling and has stayed at a lot of senior hostels on campuses during the summers through the years. I wonder if they still do that?

Sorry, Min. I let the dog out and found that DH's new fire pit was smoking like crazy even though it had rained. I had to go put out the fire, then tell DH that he shouldn't have left the fire untended and then get clothes out of the dryer.

RoundBarn, what is a camp?

11:24 pm

RoundBarn

A camp is a cottage--I own a neat little camp on a lake near Burlington--I haven't been able to use it much since I lost my daughter. If you are near Vermont you are free to stay there.

11:26 pm

Nef

why is it called a camp? (I'm just always so curious about different terms for things

11:26 pm

Nef

And when are you coming to the Cities RoundBarn?

11:27 pm

RoundBarn

It's a nice community and good swimming, canoeing--near the green mountains to climb. Pretty ideal. Last summer Megan and her 3 boys were there with me, but this year I don't know. I'm thinking end of July, early August--I need to check on things. Had a new roof last year.

11:28 pm

Nef

It sounds beautiful, RB.

11:29 pm

Nef

When is your convention here in MPLS again?

11:29 pm

RoundBarn

that confewrence starts on the 24th I think--I'llk know better by tomorrow I think. Or else we're driving up the 24th June, and the conference begins the 25th. We'll take down our booth that Friday 4-6. I've sent comp copies of Vol 1 to 40 Wis ag ed teachers--hope there'll be some good return. Did I send you a comp copy?

11:30 pm

Nef

No; I want to pay for it, RB (authors have to sell books to make money!)

11:31 pm

RoundBarn

well, it's discounted to friends!

11:31 pm

Nef

okay, I'll buy it on discount then. :-)

11:32 pm

Nef

June 24-28th. It's now marked on my calendar.

11:36 pm

RoundBarn

I don't know why New Englanders call a cottage a camp. I'll try to find out.

11:37 pm

Nef

Oh, that's okay. Like I said, I'm just always curious about things like that. I'll probably look it up myself.

11:45 pm

Nef

I'm reading the owners' manual for my thermostat for my furnace and A/C. I have heat, but no A/C (not that I've needed it so far). I was going to try to fix it myself; but it seems that I'll still have to call in a repairman since it doesn't address the problem I'm having. (sorry I'm not very talkative tonight, just thought I'd explain why).

11:46 pm

Nef

It also turns out that this model I have is from the 2003-2004 year; I bought it in 2008. :-(

11:50 pm

RoundBarn

that's okay. I need to get to bed before the flip so I won't be tempted. Got back from Madison Tues and our worst was realized (for Volume 3, the final one) It's already too long and there are parts missing. Jeremy and I are thinking we can add stuff on the net--he's already got yhe two volumes up electronically. (I am poor at reading manuals.) So, good night. I will be glad to meet you. Also, I need an address to send the book--my email is jjack1@uis.edu

11:52 pm

Nef

okay; I'm ready for bed too. I'll send my addy and info before I go to bed though. Good Night RoundBarn!

11:52 pm

RoundBarn

it is raining again heavily here, we've had tornado watch so only a few came to writers group tonight. I better check the asement. So goodnight again.
