what's that sammy
12:24 am
sammysmom
since hubby is in palliative care we get little sleep... either walter or myself or one of the kids is with him all night... at about 2 am a few nights ago, walter saw a car pull up in front of our house and a man got out and was looking at the fire hydrant
12:25 am
VolleymomDee
that's odd
12:26 am
sammysmom
it was quite dark. he could not determine the type or color of car but said the man seemed to have a tuber or hose or something and he touched the top of the fire hydrant with it and then got back in his car and drove up the street slowly.
12:27 am
rururocks
that's strange
12:27 am
VolleymomDee
very curious
12:29 am
sammysmom
when he told me, i figured that this was od, i called the police. they were here in 3 minutes... checked out the huydrand and could see nothing wrong and were stumped also.. but a few minutes later,, there was another police car cheching from the othe4r diretion... then 4 of them... after 20 minutes or so they concluded that there was nothing apparently amiss so they all left, assuring us thet they would be checking the area closely for a few days

It has been very dry in the middle this year and all the animals come to the road for water - bit like running the gauntlet. In northern NSW we also have wild goats and on the way to Darwin we have unfenced cattle stations.

Hi ruby and rose. Popping in and out today. Have a day off work and trying to catch up on housework, but as we're in the middle of a heatwave I need frequent breaks!
4:13 am

ruby, we have had to put in a watering system. believe it or not, the boxes under mother's windows do not get enough rain, even in winter.
4:13 am
rubyfoo
it's hot here in the afternoon,but beautiful in the AM and at night, couldn't be nicer. I am so happy
4:14 am

What I liked about window boxes was that they were in the kitchen/breakfast room, so were easy to water
4:14 am

5:46 am

but death during birth, that's rough even by today's standards
5:50 am
grannyrose
yeah, joso. and the orang otang displayed such 'human' emotions.
5:56 am

It's only 6 here so barely started. Gotta be better than yesterday....what a nightmare day. My internet went out, the "easy" dr. was actually having trouble dictating, my Dodger cat had a seizure, my a/c went out briefly and I got a bad headache. This one kind of must be better!

Love those ocean breezes Annie. Brings back memories.

Anniebrook
bichon, I know how you feel. Whenever I think of moving nearer to Liz I think of the ocean breezes and how I will miss them in the summer.
8:11 am
bichon
Besides Sandy, I really miss living in Rockaway
8:11 am
72 Temple Owl
did not realize you were close to the ocean. i know mostly manhattan and can never connect ny with ocean
8:11 am
Anniebrook
But in the winter the so- called breeze becomes a fierce wind. It's a trade off.
8:11 am
bichon
I am never bothered by winter than by summer in central CT
8:12 am
72 Temple Owl

word to the wise - don't ever, ever mess up on the USPS website and need a refund from them. they claim you can get one, but it can take up to three months to receive it. i have yet to get mine, am hoping that eventually i will in fact get it, but wonder if the long time is a trick, they figure most people will forget by then and never follow up?
9:08 am
crosshair
ugh,i never have much call to use our postal service anymore,with direct deposits,online billing and the like and if i need to send a package,it always goes courrier
9:08 am
crosshair
because our canada post is not much better
9:09 am
hurshy
it's not so bad to just USE it, normal, if you don't need a refund.
9:09 am
hurshy
or if you went through ebay/paypal, even. then you get your refund faster.
9:09 am
hurshy
but if you did it directly on their website... *whistles*
9:10 am

i must try ebay sometime.people keep talking about it,but i have never looked at it

well there are some things - for instance, i had an old pot of my mom's that i really liked, it worked really well for a certain cooking purpose and i wanted a second one of the same size and type. it's from the 70's. now, the only way i'm going to get one of those easily is on ebay. so i did. and it was cheap and quick and easy. so that's the sort of thing it's great for.
9:14 am

yes,definatly good for that

100 is bad here on the east coast. Like a sauna.
11:00 am
hego
We have humid, disgusting, sticks to your body heat.

Hi all! Dorens what play are you seeing in my neck of the woods?
11:43 am
rururocks
unless it's an afternoon thing
11:44 am
Dorens
if you do, i could pick up tickets today. afternoon things are mostly only wednesday and weekends, don't know if you could fit that
11:44 am

11:46 am
mymuseisme
Ruru, when will you be in NY?
11:47 am
Dorens
it does... and I never got around to getting tickets,... then thought it was too late... then got a groupon offer... probably will be the worst seats in the house, but at least I will be seeing it without paying $150 or more per ticket..
11:47 am
rururocks
AUgust
11:48 am
mymuseisme
That's always a plus Dorens. Seats might not be that bad, depends on the theatre.
11:48 am
Dorens
Saw an extraordinary film the other day.. The Attack, which is not being shown widely, only art theaters, etc. It was disturbing, so a laugh riot play with David Hyde Pierce will be terrific
11:49 am
rururocks
I don't watch disturbing films any moer
11:49 am
mymuseisme
Just what I need :) Ru will be rocking the town in August, huh, lol
11:50 am

11:50 am
mymuseisme
wonderful!
11:50 am
rururocks
that's a real mini meet up :D
11:51 am
Dorens
it wasn't disturbing in the usual sense.. and no, I usually don't either... but this was so powerful and so good... about Palestinian/Israeli stuff.
11:51 am
rururocks
oh.. sounded like a terror flick
11:53 am
Dorens
no no no, i never see those.. or suspense stuff or any kind of horror or gratuitous violence.... But once in a while if there is a teeny bit of violence necessary to move the plot, I can handle it. I didn't know much about this one,, but reliable sources said it was a "must see"
11:54 am

Going to camp
3:36 pm
moonwoof
Nice. Group outting? And where?
3:37 pm
rocky12
Sleep away in PA
3:37 pm
moonwoof
Best to get that done then before the snow ^^
3:37 pm
moonwoof
Its really pretty up there tho. I miss up north.
3:38 pm
rocky12
Snow are you kiding its like 100 degreses
3:39 pm
moonwoof
Oh sure... but fall's still starting a bit early this year I think
3:39 pm
rocky12
I'm leaving on the 23 so i'll make it there in time
3:39 pm
moonwoof
and at 100, you can be sure there wont be snow. So good call xD
3:40 pm
rocky12
I hate the heat
3:41 pm
moonwoof
In general, so do I. But I still prefer camping in the warmer months than the snow.
3:42 pm
rocky12
I would love to go camping in the snow
3:42 pm
rocky12
But school gets in the way grr
3:43 pm
moonwoof
School's important tho. So may as well get it out of the way so you can camp in the winter ^^
3:44 pm
rocky12
True when i live on my own or have my own family i'll be camping every winter we get a chance to
3:45 pm
moonwoof
Well try it first before you say that... it's actually pretty different than other camping.
3:45 pm
moonwoof
*every* thing gets wet and stays that way. Firewood, clothes, you. Everything lol
3:45 pm
rocky12
True but its soo much more nice out in the woods during winter
3:46 pm
moonwoof
Still. It's good to try it and compare.
3:46 pm
moonwoof
Oh agreed. It's gorgeous and quiet and lots of good things. Just not my favorite camping ^^
3:48 pm
rocky12
Lol i'm thinking of the convorsation we all had last night with "count drenchula"
3:48 pm
moonwoof
Im sorry I missed it then. That sounds amusing
3:50 pm
rocky12
I love this song
3:51 pm
moonwoof
what are you listening to?
3:52 pm
rocky12
Stereo heart by gym class heros on pandora
3:54 pm
onyx
anyone know if the gy 6 is a real word?
3:54 pm
moonwoof
Ah Ive heard this before
3:54 pm
moonwoof
It is a real word lol
3:55 pm
moonwoof
Its a dna enzyme
3:55 pm
rocky12
Its good right
3:56 pm
moonwoof
Sure. I enjoy it. I havent heard much by GCH before, tho.
3:56 pm
moonwoof
And Ive only heard that song on the radio. But still. Its decent
3:59 pm
rocky12
Oh i like this song to by bruno mars called marry you
3:59 pm
moonwoof
Im not insanely fond of adam levinge's voice... Otherwise I think I would like that song more. Maybe I'll like a cover of it better once some come out
4:00 pm
rocky12
I love adam levine
4:00 pm
moonwoof
I think the only Bruno Mars song I know I like off the top of my head was his muppet show song lol
4:00 pm
rocky12
from marron 5
4:00 pm
rocky12
Bruno mars is good
4:01 pm
moonwoof
He's ok... But it really depends on the song. There's just something about the pitch of his voice that can get to me.
4:02 pm
moonwoof
My musical taste leans more towards ska and not very much towards pop
4:02 pm
rocky12
I absolutly love his first albumb out of all the rest of his
4:04 pm
moonwoof
I really Do like pandora tho. And I always like hearing new music
4:05 pm

4:11 pm
rocky12
Yay nice job
4:11 pm
lilliann
Yay!! WTG Moon!! :D
4:11 pm
moonwoof
I think the closest I get to modern pop music is Pink. And Im not sure she quite counts lol
4:12 pm
moonwoof
And hiya lilli!
4:12 pm
moonwoof
And same here. I like a bit of everything... Just some things less than others =D
4:12 pm
lilliann
i like Pink. My daughter and i are going to see Jessie J tomorrow night with friends, so we are looking forward to that
4:13 pm
rocky12
I'm going for a month and i love pink to i love her newest song and hi lil
4:13 pm
moonwoof
I havent been to a concert in far too long, really
4:13 pm
rocky12
I wanna go take me with you
4:13 pm
lilliann
i must admit, my favourite er4 is the 80's
4:14 pm
moonwoof
I am also an 80s baby ^^
4:14 pm
lilliann
If you lived nearer Rocky, i would :)
4:14 pm
moonwoof
But really... musically Im still much more random than that.
4:14 pm
rocky12
80s you guys are old lol
4:14 pm
lilliann
That's a long time Rocky, no wonder you're packing over a few days. I hope you have a great time :)
4:15 pm
moonwoof
Mom's family liked polkas and lots of trad music. dad's side liked everything from swing to hendrix
4:15 pm
lilliann
Charming! i did like you Rocky, but you can certainly go off people very quickly..lol
4:15 pm
moonwoof
Psh. My inner four year old would kick yer butt for saying that!
4:16 pm
moonwoof
What she said, rocky... Age is relative. We're just *older*. Not *old*
4:16 pm
moonwoof
Im hoping to get to old tho. I love really good wrinkles. Especially laugh lines. Im working on mine as we type
4:16 pm
rocky12
I will i hope i dont meat to many new peeps and my inner 4 year old would woop you innr 4 year old
4:16 pm
lilliann
i was brought up on Abba,Neil Diamond, Humperdink,opera, jazz, but never Country music, but then it was never big here, but i like some cCountry music.i like Dolly parton
4:17 pm
moonwoof
Psh. Your inner four year old doesnt know what my older and more experienced four year old does ^^
4:18 pm
moonwoof
I actually do kinda draw a line at music I cant understand. Country kinda falls into that realm along with a chunk of opera and pretty much anything by celine dion lol
4:18 pm
rocky12
But were both 4 so how can your inner 4year old be older than my inner 4 year old lol your logic is flawed
4:19 pm
moonwoof
nah. My logic is humourous. There's a difference ^^
4:20 pm
rocky12
Your logic is special not hurmorous well mabye both lol
4:20 pm
moonwoof
Exactly.
4:20 pm
MollyL

4:20 pm
lilliann
i quite like celine Dion,but i've only got her songs in english.i like Michael mcDonald aswell and a bit of miley, the 3 tenors, and alot of other opera singers but i'm like you, i'd prefer to know what they are saying when they sing
4:21 pm
MollyL
<---Does not love Miley
4:21 pm
rocky12
Thats y i cant stand jewish music i have no idea what there saying

Ok good. Or I think we'd have to disown you
4:26 pm
lilliann
I love Dolly's song, 'Iwill always love you and i loved her duet with Kenny Rogers,'Islands in the Stream'
4:26 pm
rocky12
I would disown my self first lol
4:26 pm
MollyL
I'm not a big fan of Dolly's music, I just find her a very refreshing woman.
4:27 pm
moonwoof
In so far as a good woman, I can completely agree. She's fun like betty White is, imo
4:28 pm
rocky12
Betty white is funny
4:28 pm
lilliann
Even my 13 year old isn't keen on One Direction,she says she likes the songs but they are crap, i actually don't mind them :)
4:29 pm
lilliann
i love watching her in films
4:29 pm
MollyL
Dolly: I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.
4:29 pm
lilliann
i loved betty White in @golden Girls
4:30 pm
rocky12
Your dughter is right on one thing they are crap but they only have like a few good songs
4:30 pm
moonwoof
I think the best really "new" band I like is 30 seonds to mars. I absolutely love Closer to the Edge
4:30 pm
rocky12
Never heard of them
4:30 pm
moonwoof
But I also dont keep up with music like I used to
4:31 pm
lilliann
I've never heard of them Moon
4:31 pm
moonwoof
Look up that song on youtube sometime. Its a really excellent song, imo
4:31 pm
moonwoof
oh... and 30 seconds
4:31 pm
rocky12
The best song in the world is stacys mom
4:31 pm
moonwoof
I missed a c in there ^^
4:32 pm
moonwoof
But I seriously absolutely love that song. Its a great message, excellent music and tons of fun
4:32 pm
moonwoof
I usually dont go in for big "message" songs and such... but that one is fabulous
4:33 pm
lilliann
My bairn's favourite song at the momnet is Passenger, 'Let her go'
4:33 pm
MollyL
"Compared to Pink Floyd and Tool"...that counts me out
4:34 pm

4:35 pm

If that was a comment on 30 seconds, I would definately not have thought that, personally.
4:35 pm

It is origami, especially as it is a word, but alot of words aren't accepted in Babble, which does get frustating :0

That's a beautiful cat Buggie,looks like he'she is the boss though or wants to be as in all cases of cats! is it yours.some canny claws!! :)
6:08 pm
lilliann
Sounds great Zoom :)
6:09 pm
Buggie

6:10 pm
Buggie
if I have a visitor he'll make sure the evening is about him ;)
6:10 pm
lilliann
He looks like he does and that your his butler :D
6:11 pm
Buggie
I think you're not far wrong... but he's very well behaved. He doesn't jump up on tops, or eat wires or anything like that.
6:13 pm
lilliann
my female cat doesn't either, but she thinks she owns us all and runs the house.Cats are funny animals!
6:13 pm
crosshair
mmmmmm!!..jumbo battered tiger shrimp!!..hope it does not go to my heart right away:)
6:16 pm
Buggie
yeah, my cat always has to be in the same room as me (except the bathroom, he's terrified of water). He even sleeps on the bed with me...
6:16 pm
lilliann
That sounds lovely Crossy, all i've had today was a half a crusty roll with some pate on, 3 mini beef wellington things that i've never seen before and were quite tasty and a few strawberries and a glass of white wine.i wasn't overly hungry today as too humid
6:17 pm
crosshair
we had a storm front move through and cool things off by teh degrees
6:17 pm
Buggie
battered shrimp? never tried that. Today I made beef bourguignon, the first time I've made something that simmers for so long, came out great
6:17 pm
lilliann
mine does too Buggie and she will come into the bathroom and whilst we are sitting on the toilet she has to rub her legs and head against our legs, but we have to watch her as she wants to jump out of the upstairs windows.my husband had to save her once as she was on the roof
6:18 pm
crosshair
ten degrees*
6:19 pm
lilliann
That sounds delicicious Buggie. i love beef Bourginon, and in the winter especially i love to ccok stews nd casseroles that take a few hours to cook, the meat is always tender and very tasty
6:20 pm
lilliann
Did you get a storm Crossy, or did it bypass you?
6:21 pm
crosshair
we got the storm.heavy rain,tornado warnings,hail,the whole 9 yeards
6:22 pm
lilliann
we've had really humid weather for 2 weeks which we're definitely not use to getting up north and they told us last week that we were in for storms and thunder, but we never got any
6:22 pm
Buggie
yeah, I do casseroles but usually cook them for about an hour as my meat is usually tender anyway. I keep back any left over casserole juice and freeze it to use as stock, which is what I used for the beef tonight (duck casserole juice spiced with a little cinnamon, cloves and ginger)
6:22 pm
lilliann
Oh God.i hope you are all ok there then
6:23 pm
crosshair
yup.all is fine.some downed trees,a bit of flooding here and there,but mostly ok
6:24 pm
lilliann
Sounds lovely Buggie.i'll have to think about freezing my casserole juices.i've never thought of putting cinnamon and cloves in with meat juices
6:24 pm
TraderKate
you're in a warning now crossy... as in they're here..not look out for the cance of...be careful!
6:25 pm
lilliann
Glad to hear. i hope all stays well
6:25 pm
crosshair
i promise..no canoe sex till the storm has passed
6:25 pm
TraderKate
we just gotr the warnings here and north of me skies are not looking very friendly...
okay, crossy, just wanted to check in... i must poof, abck later!
6:26 pm
crosshair
tc,kate:)
6:26 pm
lilliann
well, i think that would be best Crossy...lol
6:26 pm
lilliann
Bye kate, tc :)
6:29 pm
Buggie
well, I used a "4 spices" blend (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger). I put it in the duck casserole, was suprised how strong it was, but gave the duck a honey taste, and then reusing it for the beef meant it wasn't too strong
6:29 pm
crosshair
it is not sx in a canoe that is he problem,it is trying to figure out where to store the paddles that is the problem
6:33 pm
lilliann
I like ginger with hoisin sauce,and garlic with pork loins.leave to marinate as long as possible.24 is best but even a couple of hours will give it a great flavour.one of my next door neighbours hates pork but he had that and he loved it and now his mam has to make iot.But i must admit, with cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon i would use them more for puddings, not that i make many anymore
6:34 pm
lilliann
Ginger is a very strong root vegetable to use, i like to juice it with apples ,but i only use a tiny bit as it is overpowering
6:35 pm
lilliann
Mmmm, that could be difficult Crossy as you never know where the oars could end up!!! :D
6:37 pm
lilliann
You're up late Buggie. Whereabouts in France do you live?
6:37 pm
Buggie
hmmm, never tried marinating with hoisin sauce... and yes, I usually use ginger in curries, cloves I rarely use apart from bread sauce, and nutmeg I mainly use for white sauce (for moussaka and things) or soups. the casserole was a case of wanting to try something different...
6:39 pm
Buggie
I live in Poitiers, a couple of hours northeast of Bordeaux, and I'm always up late, not a morning person ;)
6:39 pm
Buggie
how about you, where in England do you live?
6:39 pm
lilliann
My parents live about an hour and half away from you
6:40 pm
lilliann
County durham
6:41 pm
Buggie
oh right up north. I was born in Cheltenham, but I've spent most of my life in France
6:42 pm
lilliann
Poitiers, that's where Futurscope is?
6:42 pm
Buggie
yup, that's right, the main tourist attraction
6:43 pm
lilliann
I thought you must have been English because of the way you speak and spell.i was bought up in Surrey
6:43 pm
Buggie
where do your parents live? who knows, they might know mine...
6:44 pm
Buggie
I've been told I've picked up a few americanisms though, I have a bad habit of using "gotten"
6:44 pm
lilliann
mine have lived in France now for about 26 years.they live in the Vendee, 85 is there number
6:45 pm
Buggie
ahhh, my aunt has a holiday home in the Vendée, but my parents live south in the Charente
6:46 pm
lilliann
Charente.i've had some nice wine from there.
6:47 pm
lilliann
My parents use to have holiday homes in Agde, in the south
6:47 pm
Buggie
the main alcohols are Pineau des Charentes and of course Cognac
6:48 pm
Buggie
trying to think what wine there is around here... not much of a wine drinker myself, though I know to avoid the local wine, haut poitou...
6:48 pm
lilliann
That's what i was trying to remember...Pineau des Charentes which isn't a wine.i had a few of them one year when i could walk and at the end i couldn't walk...lol
6:49 pm
Buggie
oh pineau is great, especially a good white pineau chilled on a hot summer day
6:50 pm
lilliann
My parents friends had some and gave me a bottle to bring home. i had it for years as i didn't want to get a hangover like it again!! i ended up putting it down the drain and it was a fantastic drain cleaner :)
6:50 pm
lilliann
Hi Welki:)
6:51 pm
Buggie
haha, such a waste of an excellent bottle though
6:51 pm
lilliann
What a waste!!
6:51 pm
lilliann
well, i did taste some first and it didn't taste so good and was all brown and bitty, so the drain got it
6:52 pm
lilliann
It was 15 years old
6:53 pm
lilliann
How are you Welki?
6:53 pm
Buggie
ah, I don't know how long it keeps, bottles never last long enough ;o)
6:54 pm
lilliann
not for me either but after the 'Hangover from Hell' i didn't touch it again :D
6:54 pm
welki
doing well, thanks - liking that the weekend is here :)
6:55 pm
welki
i think i tried pineau de charantes years ago - is it a little sweet and "thicker" than wine?
6:56 pm
lilliann
i would try it again now.i drank it, because at the time i wasn't a big wine drinker, and i was told that pineau, was similar to martini, which i s what i drank.but i only liked the martini rosso, so i had a few of these which are normally in little glasses but our family friend who was from cornwall was giving me wine glasses full of it, so 4 later, i was plastered :)
6:56 pm
lilliann
It is welki and i hope you have a nice weekend :)
6:57 pm
Buggie
yeah, sweeter and thicker than wine
6:57 pm
welki
i think i liked it - maybe i should look for a bottle
6:58 pm
Buggie
though you often come across home brewed stuff which is much stronger
6:59 pm
welki
i used to go to a nice restaurant and they'd give me glass of something to go with my appetizer or dinner (so that would be for some things, wine with others - was a nice place)
7:00 pm
periwinkle
hi all, help with the le5 pls
7:00 pm
Buggie
phew, fireworks. Anyone need any clues before I head off to bed?
7:00 pm
lilliann
well, that's like not pastis, i can't think of the name, it's white and very alcoholic and can't get bought in shops. it is made by farmers and the recipe goes from son to son and i can't think of the blooming name.it's really strong...something eau i think
7:01 pm
lilliann
Yay!!Wtg Buggie :D
7:01 pm

oh yeah, eau de vie is like a competition as to who can make the most potent. It's generally safest to avoid it as a signle spark can turn a bottle into a bomb ;o)
7:03 pm
lilliann
I still need 45 and am waiting for my husband to come home so am just going slowly, but thanks anyway Buggie

i Know,all you'd have to do is have a mouthful and then light your breath and you'd be a fire eater! lol. my dad asked for the recipe onece from a friend but he said he couldn't, it's only pasted down from fathere to sons, not even daughters get it apparently
7:06 pm
lilliann
Night Buggie, it's been lovely chatting to you, tc hin and try not to drink too much pineau and eau de vie :D
7:07 pm
lilliann
I don't know what's it's made of Welki, but it sopunds like it could be like Poteen or Moonshine.probably very similar
7:11 pm
welki
probably as close to grain alcohol as you can get - or potato alcohol - just alcohol!
