stidmama

hey all, how's this grid shaping up?

1:00 am

moonwoof

weird, so far. Small odd corner

1:03 am

moonwoof

hiya tho

1:04 am

grannyrose

cooee from me. please forgive any typos. am sitting in the dark. himself has finally fallen asleep. poor love has had a migraine and vomiting all day. :(

1:05 am

moonwoof

migraines are nasty. glad he's finally gotten to sleep

1:06 am

grannyrose

so am i, woof. he is a VERY loud vomiter.

1:06 am

moonwoof

lol nice

1:06 am

grannyrose

fortunately the sound doesn't turn my tummy any more.

1:07 am

moonwoof

also nice. I imagine sypathetic vomiting is also not fun

1:07 am

grannyrose

*giggle* i remember the first time a patient th5 up in front of me...we shared the bowl.

1:09 am

moonwoof

Ive never had anything like that, so far. I imagine that's best for me xD

1:10 am

grannyrose

oh, my, am watching a motoring show, they have a red mclaren on the road. when i die i wanna come back as a mclaren.

1:11 am

grannyrose

nope, changed my mind...i wanna be the latest ferrari

1:11 am

moonwoof

I think I would rather a vincent black lightning, myself

1:12 am

grannyrose

whatever it is, i have to be red...i look really great in red.

1:13 am

grannyrose

and both have a low-slung under-carriage///just like moi.

1:13 am

moonwoof

if I had to pick 4 wheels, I'd pick a 1935ish rolls

1:14 am

moonwoof

lol low slung? lol

1:14 am

moonwoof

<3

1:14 am

grannyrose

lol, is the emphasis on 'rolls' ?

1:15 am

moonwoof

lol no. Not like you meant low slung, anyway xD

1:15 am

grannyrose

at this point i would have expected ruru to interject.

1:15 am

moonwoof

I just really like how classy those looked. Solid, yet sleek with a touch of Capone. Ive always liked em lol

1:15 am

grannyrose

hehehe

1:16 am

moonwoof

I dont think he's on yet ^^

1:16 am

grannyrose

whew! then we're safe..

1:16 am

moonwoof

so you say... I didnt say the skinny dipping thing while he was on, the other night... and yet.

1:17 am

grannyrose

a yellow lamborghini .....this is an amazing show

1:17 am

grannyrose

rofl....yeah, well...what can i say???

1:18 am

moonwoof

I would enjoy lamborgini's a great deal more without the vaccumm. I just cant own a vehicle I cant tweak

1:18 am

grannyrose

mind you, all these cars are wo5 more than my house.

1:19 am

moonwoof

well sure. but thats a part of the fun ^^

1:20 am

grannyrose

woof, you ever driven a toyota corolla. the first time i did, i nearly ended up on the footpath, doing a left turn.

1:20 am

moonwoof

honestly, tho, even if I was bleeding money out my eyes I couldnt justify a car I cant get into ^^

1:21 am

moonwoof

corolla? Nope. But Ive driven toyotas and plenty of other smaller cars.

1:21 am

stidmama

sorry, I wandered off -- I am grieved your dh has had a migraine that bad, GR. Mine are rarely that awful, but they are never fun.

1:21 am

grannyrose

yeah, i know. i wouldn't have probs getting in...getting out would be another story.

1:21 am

moonwoof

wb stid

1:21 am

grannyrose

stiddy, hello sweetheart

1:22 am

moonwoof

I really enjoyed my spitfire. That thing cornered on a dime

1:23 am

grannyrose

ohhh, a spitfire!!! *woof has gone up several points* you lucky person~~

1:23 am

grannyrose

which puts woof in the ionosphere

1:23 am

moonwoof

lol Ive known collectors of some sort all my life, but I bought a cpl to restore and resell myself. Was a part of how I paid for hs

1:24 am

moonwoof

My honest favorite is mostly sentimental, however, and not performance based.

1:24 am

grannyrose

wave hello to stiddy and sprite and ruru and ruby and dee and....and....you are in great company

1:24 am

moonwoof

I owned and lived in a 1967 ford LTD land yacht which will likely be my favorite for a long time

1:25 am

moonwoof

ty! That is *excellent* company!

1:26 am

m9f9l

hello all

1:26 am

grannyrose

omg, a ford gt...went to auction at $5 million....

1:26 am

jillibus

hi everyone - back from bridge

1:27 am

stidmama

hey m!

1:27 am

m9f9l

hi stid!

1:27 am

moonwoof

that car performed much much better than I ever would have suspected... but it was never close to the karmann ghia, spitefire or rx7

1:27 am

m9f9l

Hi jilli!

1:27 am

moonwoof

hullo m9 and jilli

1:27 am

m9f9l

Hi moon

1:27 am

grannyrose

hey m9, and apologies if i am annoying you with talk of cars. what can i say? i'm a petrol-head. but you alreadt knew that.lol

1:27 am

jillibus

hellO, m9!

1:28 am

grannyrose

goodeve, jilli

1:28 am

m9f9l

are you saying you're gassy??

1:28 am

grannyrose

only after burritos

1:28 am

moonwoof

and low slung, if you look back in the chat ^^

1:28 am

stidmama

hey jill -- I finally got those pics up of the empty space where my home used to be...

1:28 am

jillibus

oh, funny -- that word at the top of the grid is used in duplicate bridge

1:29 am

jillibus

where, stid?

1:29 am

stidmama

on my website, jill

1:30 am

jillibus

must have a look -- haven't been there in far too long, stid

1:31 am

stidmama

several posts, I am afraid it's a redundant theme at the moment.

1:32 am

jillibus

woot should be a word -- it's used here all the time

1:32 am

moonwoof

agreed. it really should

1:34 am

grannyrose

stiddy, have posted on your web site. xoxox

1:34 am

m9f9l

you have a website?

1:35 am

grannyrose

woof, what's said in chat, stays in chat....oh, yeah. we are in chat...lol

1:35 am

moonwoof

=D

1:36 am

m9f9l

I've seen evidence before granny that that ain't necessarily so.LOL

1:36 am

puglet

Good Evening "ALL" You Wonderful Babble People!!

1:36 am

m9f9l

hi pug

1:37 am

moonwoof

lo puglet

1:37 am

grannyrose

evening pugs

1:38 am

grannyrose

naughty stiddy...anything about you is NEVER redundant.

1:39 am

stidmama

oh rose! thanks for commenting! ((hugs)) sometimes the writing seems to vanish into the ether.

1:39 am

stidmama

hey puglet

1:39 am

stidmama

m: my screen name . com

1:40 am

m9f9l

now there's a phant for this grid..."ether"

1:40 am

m9f9l

well that was just too easy!LOL

1:40 am

stidmama

:-)

1:40 am

stidmama

:-D

1:44 am

jillibus

stid, I left you a comment too (((hugs)))

1:46 am

stidmama

Thanks, Jill -- I will try to get a better scan of the house elevations once construction begins. Right now I am terrified that I am going to jinx myself. Turns out the insurance company has decided that we should have gone ahead and put another mobile home on, so they are going to stop paying for our extra living expenses at the end of this month. We will make it, but financially it is going to be a tight squeeze. *sigh*

1:46 am

stidmama

They figure if we had just put a mobile home there again we would be moving in already...

1:48 am

m9f9l

It's all worth a big kitchen.. sigh... :-)

1:48 am

moonwoof

I hadnt realized they got to decide that. Wouldnt having a MH there get in the way of the surveys and such for rebuilding?

1:48 am

jillibus

Oh screw that heartless insurance company. Stick to your guns even if it's tough just now!

1:48 am

stidmama

twelve by seventeen, m...

1:50 am

jillibus

You're planning to stay there for a long time so it's worth it.

1:51 am

m9f9l

Yummy

1:51 am

stidmama

The policy we had said we get a year from the date of loss to have extra living expenses paid; but apparently what they meant was "to place only an identical structure" not anything else -- and they very optimistically thought that a mobile home could be put on site in three months. Originally it took six... and that was before the county, in its great wisdom, decided to redesignate our land as "wetland" (it's not) so we will need extra permitting.

1:52 am

stidmama

*VERY BIG mama grumble*

1:52 am

stidmama

we are experiencing an interesting confluence of negative effects this year... I think next year will be better.

1:53 am

moonwoof

thats all a bit rediculous. I know its a business and such, but an insurance policy needs to say those things expressly, in my xp, or they dont get to just assume it.

1:53 am

stidmama

okie dokie. I am well past halfway. May I have a gentle nudge for the O in the fourth column please?

1:53 am

jillibus

of course it will, stid -- it couldn't be worse!

1:54 am

moonwoof

Not us but those ot5 people

1:54 am

jillibus

ot5/12 -- one an*****

1:54 am

stidmama

It could be worse, and I know it. Tom and Matthew and Grant and my parents, and you and my friends are "okay" -- I just don't want it to get any worse...

1:54 am

moonwoof

and plural

1:54 am

m9f9l

Mine is an optimistic 10 X 11. Hardly any storage.LOL

1:54 am

m9f9l

bablet stid!!

1:54 am

m9f9l

no wait.. that was from the third

1:55 am

m9f9l

what jilli said

1:55 am

stidmama

*sigh* I was THINKING that word, but totally NOT seeing how it could fit! *slaps self w. fish*

1:56 am

stidmama

that's small, m -- our old one was about 12 x 12, but the silly closet-style "pantry" was inefficient and used up what could have been stellar counter space.

1:56 am

jillibus

stid -- remember the Power of Positive Thinking -- no joke.

1:56 am

grannyrose

lol, beat you both...mine is a tiny 6 x 5, no oven, no grill, no cook top, no double-bowl sink, no pantry. and you ask me why i refuse to do any cooking?

1:57 am

m9f9l

wow rose!

1:57 am

grannyrose

woof, you were correct

1:57 am

stidmama

This house won't have a huge amount of storage in the utility room, but the kitchen cabinets should allow for a good bit of storage. I don't think Tom has quite realized that in two or three years we won't need even half the storage... we'll be down to two rapidly aging people who don't eat all that much. LOL

1:57 am

moonwoof

that's a competition...? pfft. I have a 4x5 area with a counter and a microwave in nc =P

1:57 am

stidmama

oh rose! how do you even EAT?

1:58 am

moonwoof

no stove, no oven... just a microwave and a dorm fridge lol

1:58 am

m9f9l

Mine is cut into by the way into the basement stairs, the door to the back porch.. and the chimney from downstairs running up through the corner..

1:58 am

m9f9l

Dorm's don't get to compete in this competition.LOL

1:58 am

moonwoof

that *isnt* a dorm

1:59 am

stidmama

well, Jill's is a lovely kitchen. Galley style, but a nice open space in the middle, and just right for one or two people -- big enough that we can help cook when we are there, but I would be comfortable cooking there alone, too.

1:59 am

grannyrose

*giggle* it's up to himself to produce the meals. we have an electric horizontal grill, a slow-cooker, an electric frypan and a convection hotplate(one only)

1:59 am

m9f9l

I don't have a microwave, but then I don't want oen

2:00 am

moonwoof

The entire living area is 18 feet by 7 feet, and that kitchen nook is narrower to account for the "mud area" but the door.

2:00 am

stidmama

gee whiz... moon and granny, you-all are really dealing with tough cooking conditions!

2:00 am

grannyrose

oh, and an electric steam cooker

2:00 am

m9f9l

With the heat lately, I've been cooking a lot on the back porch in the steamer! Heat up the outdoors rather than the house!

2:00 am

m9f9l

Yup rose, those steam cookers are great

2:00 am

moonwoof

Not ideal, yea... It would likely be a more difficult if I werent, just now, learning to cook, I wager.

2:01 am

stidmama

Our little microwave that we used to have has a little drawer at the bottom that is a real oven -- for pizzas or small batches of cookies, or whatever. It has been very handy, given our resident stomachs/teens.

2:01 am

m9f9l

Wow moon, that's like living on a boat.

2:01 am

stidmama

steamer? like a rice cooker?

2:01 am

grannyrose

considering how much i like to create in the kitchen....i hope my creativity doesn't atrophy before the kitchen is renovated.

2:01 am

moonwoof

I can do wicked awesum things on a campstove or outdoor fire tho ^^

2:01 am

stidmama

or a ship container, moon?

2:01 am

m9f9l

No, my rice cooker is another thing

2:01 am

m9f9l

No, my rice cooker is another thing

2:02 am

moonwoof

It is. It's not large, at all. Bigger than MN, tho, which I havent lived in in a while. That was one 12 by 12 room over the booth. Most of that space was work area

2:02 am

stidmama

:-) It is wonderful what can be cooked in the strangest spaces! My best "bannock" ever was on a burn pile in the front yard -- we had a lot of limbs that needed burning one year, so I made bannock and baked beans on top of the embers. The boys were really impressed (we never camp) because they didn't know I knew how to cook like that.

2:02 am

moonwoof

ive lived in those too, yea. I decked out a little 8x8 thing when last I was single that was actually really nice

2:03 am

m9f9l

one of these stid: http://tinyurl.com/k83hdb8

2:03 am

stidmama

that's nifty, m!

2:03 am

moonwoof

well then you will get it when I say I can bake a chicken, potatos and bread, steam veggies all on one fire ^^

2:03 am

grannyrose

no, stiddy. this has a bowl lowest down for water, then 1(or as many as you want) plastic bowls, with perforated bottoms, and a lid. the steam drifts upwards coking vegs, fish whatever

2:04 am

m9f9l

They are great! put a frozen chicken breast in, throw some frozen green beans alongside, set it for 20 minutes.

2:04 am

stidmama

oh dear, it's past midnight. I need to get myself to sleep. Was mesmerized by Bill Moyers on Charlie Rose. A very interesting interview.

2:04 am

m9f9l

I also "hard boil" my eggs in it!

2:05 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah, m9

2:05 am

stidmama

:-) I miss these late-night chats.

2:05 am

m9f9l

You can put herbs on the little screen in the base and infuse the food that way

2:05 am

grannyrose

stiddy, rest and sleep well, dearest friend.

2:06 am

m9f9l

Our fave over a campfire is chili made with breakfast sausage instead of ground beef, and we always save a bit and the next morning scramble eggs up with it...

2:06 am

moonwoof

sleep sweet stid!

2:06 am

m9f9l

Night stiddy!

2:06 am

grannyrose

oh yeah, m9. makes the most amazing flavoured vegs. that way.

2:06 am

stidmama

(((hugs))) thanks for being here, all, wish I could stay longer, but tomorrow dawns early... I will think about getting one of those steamers, m -- or at least something that will do the same thing on our stove when we have a stove again. ;-) have a wonderful rest of your week, all -- *scatters choclits*

*poof*

2:07 am

moonwoof

I dont even know enuf about cooking to know what you're discussing. I figure I'll get there tho

2:07 am

m9f9l

We don't have a/c, so cooking outside on the porch with the steamer or crockpot (or both) is a great way to cook during the summer!

2:07 am

grannyrose

xoxox to a wonderful woman

2:08 am

grannyrose

necessity is the mother of invention, woof. you have so many wonderful things to discover

2:08 am

m9f9l

I thought you could do "wicked awesome" things with cooking!?!? LOL

2:09 am

moonwoof

On a coleman or a campfire, yup

2:09 am

m9f9l

So what is going over your head? not the "infuse" part?

2:09 am

moonwoof

But a thingy with a vent for herbs or smoking...? those are only if I put them there lol

2:10 am

m9f9l

Ah.. gotchya. My Dad was awesome with his 4 burner Coleman. SIgh.

2:10 am

m9f9l

My best friend growing up said she ate better camping summers with us than she ever did at home.

2:10 am

moonwoof

I know how to season things, for sure

2:11 am

moonwoof

but infusing may well be a bit fancier than Ive gotten even with what has basically been camp cooking ^^

2:11 am

m9f9l

Well I'm nbt, but don't have the 9 yet, and am 4 words from 1/2way

2:12 am

m9f9l

I never use the infuser in my steamer.

2:12 am

moonwoof

Its possible Ive done what youre describing, and just dont know the correct terminology

2:12 am

m9f9l

It just means you stick herbs there, and the steam goes through them and flavors whatever is in the steamer basket.

2:13 am

moonwoof

ah then yea. Not really something Ive done much of. Anything like a steamer basket is one more thing to pack/carry/make room for

2:14 am

moonwoof

I know all about stuffing things tho!

2:14 am

moonwoof

=D

2:14 am

m9f9l

Well this is an actual little plug-in appliance, the steamer basket is part of it. So yes, more to pack and carry

2:14 am

moonwoof

Stuffed asparagus is a specialty ^^

2:14 am

jillibus

I'm an uncook, the daughter of an uncook :-(

2:14 am

grannyrose

th9, th5, to toss + abbreviation for road + Emergency Room

2:15 am

m9f9l

stuffed asparagus???? THey're awfully skinny to be stuffing??

2:15 am

moonwoof

Me too, honestly. But I find I really like food. So Ive had incentive to cook things I can put in my face. They're safer than uncooked things

2:15 am

grannyrose

lol, maybe you stuff them into something

2:16 am

moonwoof

yup! they are. But splitting and stuffing them with cheese is still worth doing before tossing em in the fire is pretty worth it

2:16 am

justafreep

thanks, granny. that's a particularly odd 9 that I never woulda monkeyed....

2:16 am

grannyrose

â€œA baby is God's opinion that life should go on. Never will a time come when the most marvelous recent invention is as marvelous as a newborn baby. The finest of our precision watches, the most super-colossal of our supercargo planes don't compare with a newborn baby in the number and ingenuity of coils and springs, in the flow and change of chemical solutions, in timing devises and interrelated parts that are irreplaceable.â€ ~Carl Sandburg

7:55 am

RoundBarn

I sat at my youngest's head in the hosp, graded papers--told the students in the margins how the labor was going. She delivered before I finished the set.

8:00 am

mael

8:01 am

8:12 am

Mom

bye bye ((Annie))

8:13 am

RoundBarn

we could define it ourselves as before a little hill

8:13 am

72 Temple Owl

one who is not a good friend is one who keeps all her irons in the fire, if you know what i mean, and she bailed without telling us until we had a real prospect

8:13 am

Anniebrook

yes, I remember...one backed out and one said too much $$$$, I hope you find another person

8:14 am

Anniebrook

I know what you mean, Owl...

8:14 am

MollyL

Cute definition Roundbarn. : )

8:14 am

72 Temple Owl

the other is buying a home and truthfull, it just may not be the time to go, you know, but she is my friend's best friend.

8:15 am

72 Temple Owl

hello molly

8:15 am

Anniebrook

Owl, I hope you are able to go

8:16 am

RoundBarn

airs

8:17 am

RoundBarn

sorry wrong box better leave and get to work before the brain goes--

8:17 am

72 Temple Owl

annie, i am such a mass of insecurities, i will decide they don't want me and i won't.

8:17 am

MollyL

Hi TO. I remember the difficulties in trying to get several people in on a vacation rental. Eventually I quit doing it because it was too frustrating.

8:19 am

Anniebrook

Owl, dont think like that--too stressful and silly. Of course they want you...very frustrating getting women together at times.

8:19 am

72 Temple Owl

i just wish they had waited since there are two contingency plans in place. the fact that they didn't made me surprised they mentioned the plan and then told me i could ahsre if i wanted.

8:22 am

Anniebrook

Owl, If you want to share go ahead. Don't fret about the rest of it. If they didnt want you, they wouldn't have told you.

8:24 am

72 Temple Owl

well, the issue is, that i will have to drive alone i think so i can do whatever i want i guess. cannot fit three girls and gear in a car.

8:25 am

72 Temple Owl

all because of one who is playing everyone till she got the best offer.

8:27 am

Anniebrook

What the heck is the best offer? Four women sharing a house on the shore. Yes or no. You want to go, go and have a pleasant time. Ignore the selfish one. Am I rambling?

8:28 am

Anniebrook

This reminds me of high school.

8:28 am

Anniebrook

There's always one in the crowd.

8:32 am

72 Temple Owl

no, she just asks everyone we think and then picks the best deal, like who she thinks is fun or the cheapest or nicest

8:34 am

72 Temple Owl

annie: the singles thing late in life is EXACTLY like high school :)

8:35 am

Anniebrook

Owl, do what you think is best for you and then whatever you do, enjoy. Less stressful.

8:37 am

72 Temple Owl

thank you. need to go, dr appointment. happy babbling.

8:37 am

Anniebrook

see you later, bye ((Owl))

9:05 am

Judi

Ants have invaded my office.

9:05 am

MollyL

Are they marching one by one?

9:06 am

Judi

They are marching everywhere!

9:07 am

MollyL

They must be all done moving rubber tree plants.

9:09 am

Judi

They're teeny weeny. They may find a few crumbs in my keyboard. Not big enough to move much else.

9:21 am

72 Temple Owl

they have invaded my kitchen. :( funny since i was away all weekend and not cooking

9:38 am

9:39 am

done.

9:39 am

jessmom

my parents have been having issues with ants. They have cinnamon sticks by the windows, and ground cinnamon on the counter, because ants don't like it.

10:05 am

jessmom

I guess everyone here is afraid of cinnamon too. See - it works!

10:05 am

kje

10:12 am

Judi

I tried cinnamon. They just marched right over it. Cheeky little bastards!

10:12 am

mkg

hi all. clue for the 9?

10:13 am

Judi

Th9. Extension of th6/33.

10:13 am

mkg

ants: put baking soda. or put bleach on surface and leave wet. they wont go near it.

10:13 am

mkg

dont have th 6. sorry

10:14 am

Judi

Best to put out ant traps. Baking soda and junk just makes them relocated to elsewhere in the kitchen/house. Ant traps will eventually kill the whole colony.

10:16 am

mkg

i use a spray and they disappear totally. but if they are carpenter ants then you need a professional so they dont eat the house! they eat wood like termites. carpenter ants are large black ones.

10:17 am

mkg

judi, clue for the th 6 so i can get the 9 please.

10:17 am

Judi

Never have a problem with carp ants. We have plenty of tr4s, leaf litter & dead wood outside for them to munch on. We only seem to get the little punky ants inside.

10:20 am

mkg

10:38 am

Judi

Ha! I'm sure someone will publish that, Chessy!

10:39 am

Judi

Maybe in pop-up format. That would be fun.

10:39 am

MollyL

We remember Meredith, and have forgotten Henry

10:40 am

rururocks

pop up format would be easy to understand :D

10:41 am

Judi

AS much as I would love to continue this highly educational discussion, I must tidy up before lunch. See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*

5:42 pm

it starts out normal but has a rather odd suffix

5:42 pm

hurshy

ok i'll take a clue then

5:42 pm

uusue2

sounds like somebody who tosses things

5:42 pm

MollyL

Odd suffix thing gang...or mob....mafia guys

5:43 pm

hurshy

thanks

5:43 pm

uusue2

suffix is the first four letters of the tail end of a ship (opposite the bow), the ****n

5:44 pm

hi molly! I like your icon :-)

5:44 pm

MollyL

Hi Sue, thanks.

5:49 pm

uusue2

it always amazes me when I list how many obvious words I have missed - I had all the variations on the owl sound except the original word itself, for example

5:49 pm

hurshy

ooh thanks, i didn't have the variations

5:51 pm

uusue2

I have four variations, hurshy, one of which is kind of silly

5:51 pm

hurshy

yep i got them all now.

5:52 pm

uusue2

by the way, hurshy, many of those endings (on the owl word) also exist with different first letters

5:53 pm

hurshy

yeah

hey sue! it's HOT here -- you?

6:03 pm

uusue2

hi stid, it's not super hot but it is really muggy and doesn't cool off at night

6:03 pm

uusue2

it's also been raining a lot so lots of bugs

6:03 pm

crosshair

suze!!

6:03 pm

uusue2

hi crossy!

6:03 pm

stidmama

ick to muggy. It's in the 80s here, which is unusual for this time of year (but getting more common). A little muggy, but not horrible by your standards

6:04 pm

stidmama

hey cross *grumps that I don't get a happy cross greeting*

6:04 pm

crosshair

howdy,stidmama!!!

6:04 pm

uusue2

yes, it's been in the middle to upper 80s here (which for us is not super hot)

6:05 pm

stidmama

*choclits for cross*

6:05 pm

stidmama

how's life in your neck of the woods cross? did you get the toronto rain too? Or was that farther from you?

6:06 pm

crosshair

we got the heavy rain,stidmama,but not the flooding that the city got

6:06 pm

crosshair

i am 2.5 hour drive north of toronto

6:07 pm

stidmama

so you're a ways away, but not so soggy. Glad you and yours are okay -- so sad about the flooding for the rest, though

6:07 pm

uusue2

Canada seems to have been having a really hard time with rain this year - first Calgary, now Toronto!

6:07 pm

crosshair

and was raining again today but our little community has amazing drainage

6:08 pm

stidmama

I wouldn't mind some extra rain this week, but none in the short or long forecasts, I fear. The early heat is melting our snowpack really fast.

6:10 pm

crosshair

t-storm tonight,rain tomorrow but sun on thursday here

6:11 pm

stidmama

sounds like a nice week, cross -- I used to like thunderstorms (when I was little)

6:11 pm

Jillyjill

Pleasant here, yesterday was off and on hot then thunderstorms. Several fires but they are hoping to put them out. Estimated over 150 lightening strikes yesterday.

6:12 pm

stidmama

hey again jilly

6:12 pm

stidmama

fires â‰ good

6:12 pm

stidmama

*grin* I discovered a new symbol!!!!

6:12 pm

crosshair

15 years ago we had a breakout of cryptosporiddium (sp) and we had to totally redo our treatment plant and got a state of the art water filtration plant that filters down to 7 microns.thing has been paying for itself ever since

6:13 pm

uusue2

cool, stid!

6:13 pm

crosshair

as well as new sewafge system

6:13 pm

stidmama

I wish I could afford a whole-house filter when we build our place, but I think we will add that later -- whenever we have to redo the well. About ten years I expect.

6:14 pm

joso

wow, I go do some errands and 4 hours later the same bunch are still here

6:14 pm

uusue2

I dunno, I had a whole-hose filter in my old house and thought it was a waste of money

6:15 pm

crosshair

waste of cash till you and the whole family spend a month with dysentary lol

6:15 pm

uusue2

but then you have health issues I didn't have, so for you it might make sense; depends on how your local water source is too

6:15 pm

Jillyjill

Okay, nbt/nbs and all 7's done....off to figure out supper for menfolk....bbl

6:16 pm

uusue2

bye jill!

6:16 pm

crosshair

we even have a personal brita water filter drinking bottle for each of us

6:16 pm

stidmama

Our well water has a lot of iron and sulfur in it, sue -- it stains EVERYTHING. And since I won't use water softeners because of how close we are to the Salish Sea, I need to do something.

6:17 pm

uusue2

Ah, that makes sense then. We were on city water and it was fine, didn't need further processing, but my ex had a thing about water

6:17 pm

stidmama

Right now, in town that is, the water is chlorinated and I hate it, but at least my white clothes stay white!

6:17 pm

stidmama

bye again jilly

6:17 pm

stidmama

well, down to 50 now, and should get up and move around a bit. Not sure what is going on tomorrow... hoping to have a bed and a sofa by evening!

6:17 pm

crosshair

that way we do not fill the land fill with disposable water bottles

6:17 pm

stidmama

have a good afternoon, all! I'll be back later to try to finish. *poof*

6:17 pm

crosshair

tc stidmama

6:18 pm

uusue2

bye stid!

6:19 pm

uusue2

I agree, crossy, I have water bottles that I carry around but I don't buy bottled unless I am on a long drive (then I indulge, seems healthier than cola)

6:19 pm

crosshair

each filter for it will do 250 refills at a cost of 4 cents a refill http://tinyurl.com/ldc9bjr

6:20 pm

uusue2

I bought one of those for my son but he left it at the gym

6:20 pm

crosshair

and i buy the filters in 2 packs for 8 dollars

6:21 pm

crosshair

it goes everywhere with me

6:21 pm

uusue2

Yeah, it went with him too, it just didn't come home :-P

6:21 pm

crosshair

in a pinch i have filtered river water in the hills with it

6:22 pm

crosshair

yup.leave them laying around and they grow wings

6:25 pm

uusue2

ok, well, I am off for a while, may come back later to clue for a bit

No. She is in pre labor and is miserable.

6:32 pm

MollyL

Any talk of inducing labor?

It's not everyone's first choice, but after a while, it's the best thing.

Gotta go...

6:47 pm

periwinkle

well, I had something different for dinner. I did not buy it. It was called Pad See Ew. it was thai rice noodles with vegetables and tofu in a nice sauce. it was not bad. except for the tofu which did not pick up the taste of the sauce. Not sure what the name means and I was hesitant to try it. It was bought at Trader Joes.

6:49 pm

MollyL

I'm not getting jazzed about anything with tofu in it or Ew in it's name. : D Glad you enjoyed it.

6:50 pm

periwinkle

I don't mind tofu if it is deep fried and crispy

6:51 pm

MollyL

That's good because I've read that tofu is a good addition to a vegetarian diet.

6:51 pm

periwinkle

I am eating way too much of Trader Joes dark chocolate coverd caramels. I think I am eating my 4th piece :( no more left

6:51 pm

periwinkle

but too much soy is apparently not good for you, go figure

6:52 pm

periwinkle

I guess I cannot have that kind of candy around me unless I want to gain a lot of weight.

6:52 pm

periwinkle

which I don't

6:53 pm

periwinkle

so the candy balances out the healthy dinner :)

6:54 pm

MollyL

Balance is good. : )

6:55 pm

periwinkle

yes it is, but I am addicted to those candies, they are really, really good.

6:56 pm

periwinkle

I will have to close my eyes when I walk down that aisle in the store

6:56 pm

periwinkle

but I know they will still be there :)

6:56 pm

periwinkle

I better start doing more exercise beside the classes and cut down on the candy since I apparently have no will power

6:57 pm

periwinkle

I am drinking extra water and I did have blueberries for dessert, albeit with whipped cream on top

6:58 pm

MollyL

I'm sure you will be fine Peri. You are very weight conscious.

If a disinterested observer participates in chat, doesn't that make the phrase an oxymoron?

8:05 pm

rururocks

well at least part of it :D

8:07 pm

MollyL

I don't know. It's like saying you hate Honey Boo Boo, but watching it every week.

8:08 pm

rururocks

okay..i'll roll with that. I tried to watch 5 minutes of Honey Boo Boo the other night.. and I couldn't stomach a minute of it.. it gives the south a bad name

8:10 pm

Good evening all.

8:12 pm

Well, you take a look at something, and make a decision about whether you like it or not. But constantly monitoring something you claim disinterest in? Something doesn't add up there.

Good for you. I'm spending my evenings trying to drag the dogs onto the patio, mind you, it is covered, but noooo, they do not want to get their feet wet. LOL

8:28 pm

rururocks

those aren't dogs.. those are princesses

8:29 pm

rururocks

it's just because of my degree in scatology Molly.. I can't help it

8:29 pm

gapeach

Indeed. It is my fault entirely. They are rescued dogs and I try to make their lives as enjoyable as possible.

8:30 pm

MollyL

Oh, I forgot about your PhD (Poop...His Degree)

8:31 pm

rururocks

yeah.. and there were times when I didn't give a crap about it either

8:32 pm

gapeach

Well, I must get the leashes ( I had a riding crop, but someone lifted it), not that I would use it on them....a fly swatter seems to help.
