1:51 am

puglet

Ive got three people to take to doctors and banking and whatever other things they need to do.The first of the month is always very hetic

2:00 am

rbud

you run a taxi service, pug? :)

2:01 am

puglet

lol-no I have 3 elderly person that I take to places they need to go

2:01 am

puglet

well I guess I might be a taxi like service-lol

2:02 am

rbud

I actually did own a taxi business for over five years, decided I ran everyone I knew around most days, so I might as well go official and get paid for it! :D

2:03 am

rbud

but it wore me out, finally, whew...

2:04 am

puglet

Guess that it wouldnt be much different then driving a truck or anything else

2:05 am

rbud

I loved the independent old babes the most, they didn't want to have to call their kids or other relatives for a ride, and they had great stories to tell.

2:06 am

puglet

Ive always enjoyed older ones too

2:09 am

puglet

even when I was young I always enjoyed the stories from my grandparents and their friends

2:10 am

rbud

I bought the business from a fellow who apparently drove like a maniac, it took me a time or two with each older lady before they relaxed and quit clutching the armrests and seat backs while we were moving, then they'd comment on how relaxing it was to ride with me, compared to "the other guy", lol!

2:10 am

grannyrose

checking in, to say hello. have heard from son, finally. brax has been through another battery of tests(son wasn't exp;icit as to what th4 were for), but a few apparently serious things have been ruled out. brax has been losing weight, now. hospital is trying to establish a feeding schedule for him, in the hopes he will begin putting weight back on.

2:11 am

puglet

I bet you were a blessing to them

2:12 am

puglet

Hi Rose--I was worried about his weight earlier

2:12 am

rbud

oh, dear, rose, hope they get his troubles ironed out, poor little guy has been through a lot. (((hugs)))

2:12 am

puglet

So what now? And hows your vacation going

2:14 am

grannyrose

pugs, am home again, arrived a few hours ago. have unpacked almost everything. and i guess, we wait...son hopes, with some cynicism i might add, that th4 will bring brax home this weekend.

2:15 am

puglet

did they stop the bleeding or clotting

2:16 am

puglet

I hope so! I bet your daughter-in-law is just worn out as well as your son

2:17 am

grannyrose

pugs, have only had an email from son. going to give him another 2 hours, then text him on his mobile, and hopefully be able to speak to him personally.

2:20 am

puglet

Praying that all will turn out well for you all. Sorry that you had all this on your plate as you and yours was trying to enjoy a few days away from home--hugs to you Rose

2:20 am

grannyrose

it's so frustrating...i want the latest news, and yet i don't want to cramp the kids with constant calls. th4 have so much to deal with.

2:20 am

puglet

Yeah I know what you mean there

2:21 am

grannyrose

prayers and hugs are gratefully received, pugs

2:21 am

puglet

sometimes waiting is the hardest thing to do

2:22 am

puglet

How are you feeling Rose? Is your leg giving you fits

2:24 am

grannyrose

yup, pugs. and the muscles in my back have been in spasm with all the car travel. will be glad to sleep in my own bed tonight. as you guessed, i did a fair bit of walking over the last 3 days...

2:25 am

puglet

sounds like a good rest is just what is called for here

2:25 am

grannyrose

i am supposed to be able to walk in this splint, and i did take regular rests, but it still gives me gyp.

2:26 am

puglet

I imagine that the stress back home wasent very helpful either

2:26 am

grannyrose

am gonna take it nice and easy for the next 2 days...back at work monday. :(

2:27 am

puglet

I hope you do! And I hope you can rest well too

2:29 am

puglet

did you visit any more musuems

2:32 am

grannyrose

not since last night. after breakfast we packed the car and started for home.

2:34 am

grannyrose

last night we had dinner at a tapas bar, it was a 1960's trivia night. lol. ihardly remember the '60's.

2:34 am

puglet

I hope we didnt make rbud feel ignored? we kind of left her behind here'--Glad you made it home safe and sound Rose and hope you can get rested up before monday

2:35 am

grannyrose

thanx dear friend.

2:35 am

puglet

So I take it you didnt do very well at the trivia then-lol

2:36 am

grannyrose

rbud?? you still here, hun?

2:37 am

grannyrose

um, no, pugs....we were laughing a lot, and the quiz master really had some obscure questions. we did well on films, and photos of personalities.

2:39 am

puglet

well you at least didnt have a complete failure at it-lol

2:39 am

grannyrose

another table of players were at least 10 years older than us, so th4 were in their teens in the 60's.

2:39 am

grannyrose

it was such fun...

2:40 am

puglet

It sounds like it was. Nice that you and yours could have an evening of just fun

2:42 am

puglet

Its kinda quiet here . Everyone must of had a trying week

2:45 am

grannyrose

apologies, was out of the room getting some bikkies and cheese.

2:45 am

puglet

what is bikkies

2:46 am

grannyrose

crackers...

2:46 am

rbud

I was also gone for a bit, caught up reading the last half hour now. Had to go find my kitties, they were still outside and it's supposed to start raining sometime in the wee hours.

2:47 am

grannyrose

over here we call crackers biscuits, and what is called biscuits in the US, we call scones.

2:47 am

puglet

ahh thanks

2:47 am

rbud

and hauled in my sawhorse tabletop - have been doing window trim, etc, in my soon to be "new" kitchen.

2:47 am

puglet

did you find them Rbud

2:48 am

rbud

yes, they all three came running. plus a couple of extras we feed, haha! but they live out in the carport.

2:48 am

grannyrose

so if i refer to bikkies....th4 are colloquially referring to crackers/biscuits

2:49 am

grannyrose

awww poor kitties. bet th4 were cold and hungry.

2:49 am

puglet

I like cheese and crackers with grapes too

2:49 am

rbud

one of the little abandoned tomcats has a swelled front paw he's limping on. wish I could do something for him, but he's not really ours...

2:49 am

grannyrose

hmmm, grapes!!!

2:49 am

rbud

I'm such a softie...

2:50 am

rbud

mmm, grapes! been a while since I could afford any.

2:50 am

puglet

I think grapes brings out the cheese flavor

2:50 am

puglet

yeah I am too when it comes to animals

2:51 am

grannyrose

well, grapes would clear the palate between tastes of cheese...we had a sparkling muscato with the cheese.

2:51 am

puglet

hopefully next year I will have my own

2:51 am

puglet

that sounds so good

2:52 am

grannyrose

does muscato count, instead of grapes. th4 are just been processed a little more.

2:52 am

puglet

I dont see why not

3:03 am

puglet

I got a recipe off of someones profile(dont remember whos) for a tomato soup cake. I plan of making this week-end. Have you tried it Rose or Rbud

3:04 am

grannyrose

no pugs, sounds interesting though. let me know what it's like..

3:05 am

puglet

okay will do--sounds like it might be like a spice type thing

3:06 am

rbud

jillibus's recipe, I think! I keep meaning to give it a try, too. I'm about the only one in my family who really likes tomato soup, or even fresh sliced tomatoes. hard to believe.

3:07 am

rbud

I have it in a notepad note on my desktop, along with a few dozen other recipes I'd like to eventually try.

3:07 am

puglet

I know it calls for raisins and nuts and a few spices--thats what makes me think it may be like a spice cake

3:09 am

puglet

it dosent say anything about icing so it may be more like a bread

3:10 am

rbud

oh! I have a cream cheese frosting listed along with it, so I'd wondered if it might resemble a carrot cake, perhaps.

3:10 am

puglet

I seen some other recipes on other profiles and I wish I had tooken the time to write them down cause Iam very bad at remembering--lol

3:11 am

puglet

thanks I will add that to it--It just might

3:11 am

puglet

I like carrot cake so I hope it does

3:12 am

rbud

I see it's still on jillibus's profile, too.

3:12 am

rbud

http://www.playbabble.com/profile_mini\n.php?id=24882

3:13 am

puglet

I must of over looked the icing

3:13 am

puglet

thank you Rbud

3:13 am

rbud

oops, take out the " \n " - not sure how that gets in there, babble just does it. :P

3:16 am

puglet

how much more is left on doing your new kitchen,Rbud?

3:18 am

rbud

oh, lots, really - still debating whether to build the cabinet boxes myself (with help) or try to buy them already made. Have cabinet doors and fronts that Hubby's older brother made a long time ago, from their parents' house, want to use them.

3:18 am

rbud

But we put in the new windows and ceiling in the last few days, which made a big difference already.

3:19 am

rbud

Hubby's brother was a really good professional cabinet maker back in his day.

3:20 am

puglet

thats helps on cost too. A friend of mine made my sink cabnet in our kitchen during the winter and I love it!

3:21 am

puglet

making it yourself you know just how well its put together

3:21 am

rbud

I'm just not liking what I see in ready-made cabinet boxes so far. Cheap materials, and can't afford the solid wood stuff, so... think we'll give it a try.

3:22 am

puglet

My desk here for my computer I bought at a sale last summer homemade by someone and I got it for 1 dollar

3:22 am

rbud

good score there!!

3:22 am

puglet

Iam sure you will do fine and you love it more doing it yourself

3:23 am

rbud

I agree, plus I can completely close them in, not like the old ones in the old kitchen - the mice have had their way long enough. :P

3:24 am

rbud

(there were no backs on the old ones.)

3:24 am

puglet

thats the way mine was too

3:25 am

rbud

then I think the old kitchen is getting made over into a small spare bedroom... may have to move Mom in soon. Just off the bathroom, quite handy.

3:27 am

puglet

I had a little mouse that came in during the winter that kept coming up around the burner of my stove and I felt sorry for it so I put food out every night for it.lol It never left any messes behind and when spring came it left.

3:28 am

puglet

yes--that will be handy

3:29 am

puglet

do you live in a house or a trailer

3:30 am

rbud

it's a house, very old. amazing what we've found under the sheetrock while remodeling - the walls are mostly solid wood, with a dozen layers of old wallpaper.

3:30 am

rbud

then sheetrock over that.

3:31 am

puglet

oh wow--bet that was interesting to find

3:32 am

rbud

but the wood's not nice enough to expose, it looks like old boards from railroad cars, we think. all about an inch thick, very rough, and about 1 foot by 2 feet. but I can hang a picture anywhere, lol!

3:33 am

rbud

think that's the only reason the house hasn't rattled to pieces over the years, we're pretty close to the train track.

3:33 am

puglet

I dont know, there are people that uses old barn lumber for their walls and it looks great

3:33 am

rbud

but hey, it's paid for! :D

3:33 am

puglet

does the train still run on it

3:34 am

rbud

oh, yes, we're right by a switch, and the same train will go back and forth several times, adding and subtracting cars, till it gets them the way they want them, then off they finally go.

3:34 am

puglet

my childhood home was next to tracks and I still miss the sound of the train running. But it no longer travels on those tracks

3:35 am

rbud

but after 22 years, we're used to it. plus I've always lived by a train, it seems, and Dad retired from the Rock Island Line, he was a conductor when they still had passenger cars.

3:36 am

rbud

so I'm sentimental about them, too. except when they blow the horn at 4 AM, haha!

3:36 am

puglet

My grandfather was a conductor for the b&o in Indianapolis

3:37 am

puglet

nothing like the sound of the train whistle in the quiet of the night

3:39 am

puglet

I think we've lost Rose

3:39 am

rbud

far away, yes, but right in the side yard, not so much, hahaha! but most of the engineers are nice at night, and just barely tap the horn. some are not so nice, but not often.

3:40 am

rbud

I'll bet she's tired! or maybe trying to get through to the new parents?

3:40 am

puglet

Is it close enough to rattle your house

3:40 am

puglet

Yeah I bet she is too. Shes been through alot here lately

3:41 am

rbud

yes, a bit. that's why I've never tried to put up my collections of miniature items in printer's drawer shelves, I'd probably have to gl4 them all down.

3:42 am

puglet

dont blame you there

3:43 am

rubyfoo

hello

3:43 am

puglet

(((Ruby))) hello

3:43 am

rbud

hi, ruby! :)

3:45 am

puglet

How have you been Ruby

3:46 am

rubyfoo

{{little pug}}nd {{rbud}}

3:47 am

rubyfoo

I'm sort of OK and enjoying the very hot summer weather. After our miserable spring and summer, I don't mind the heat at all, even the day it got over 100F (1st time in 15 years)

3:48 am

puglet

has it been too hot for you to do any of your gardening

3:49 am

rubyfoo

I love your mouse story, Puglet, I feel the ame way. I even rescue moths that come in the house and don't mind the mice Under our bird feeder at all. Yesterday, wild-girl Raffie killed a bird however. I guess it had been injured, but still.....I never heard of dogs doing that

3:50 am

rubyfoo

She and Rufie caught a mouse outside one day and played with it until it was dead. They're like enormous cats!

3:50 am

puglet

I got a boxer mix that will kill my chickens if she gets a chance

3:50 am

rbud

how do the dogs do when it's so hot - do you get their fur trimmed?

3:51 am

rubyfoo

they seek out the coolest places but \i don't trim them. I think they're never too hot and I put ice cubes in their water dishes

3:52 am

puglet

I have a small kiddie pool for mine and they get in it whenever they get too warm

3:53 am

puglet

I used to really work with my dogs training but I havent done so with these. So its my fault they have picked up bad habets

3:53 am

rubyfoo

they also drink from the fish pond which stay pretty cod (but icky as far as I'm concerned)

3:55 am

rbud

I saw a hint somewhere about freezing treats in a mixture of chicken or beef broth, in a big butter tub or maybe an ice cream bucket, and giving it to a dog on a very hot day. keeps them cool and busy.

4:01 am

puglet

puglet

annapooh(pug) just turned 2 last month so I hope she will soon grow out of the need to chew so much

4:04 am

rbud

they live deep in Chicago, they enjoy coming here to our tiny town, a whole different lifestyle.

4:05 am

puglet

oh I bet they do

4:06 am

rbud

4:06 am

puglet

4:09 am

rbud

(still deep in Chicago)

4:09 am

puglet

I hope it will be too for them--change isnt always so easy

rbud

I'm a little worried, but we'll see.

4:11 am

puglet

4:12 am

rbud

off and on, they come for the longer holiday breaks and such.

4:12 am

rbud

and they call our daughter and their father pretty often.

4:13 am

puglet

its so easy for kids to get into bad company

4:13 am

rbud

they used to live with their father and our daughter, but then the mom straightened up her act and got them back. she used to be quite the mess. don't know if she's really all that much better, but they say she is.

4:14 am

puglet

one of my sisters moved her teenage kids to vegas and it was really hard on them at the time. going from a small town to a huge place like that

4:15 am

puglet

got about the same problem with my little nephew

4:15 am

rbud

oh, my, that would be rough. vegas!

finally heard from son. brax has a duct in his liver narrowed, and his gall bladder has not developed fully, hence he has a touch of jaundice. his weight loss has slowed. 3 days ago he lost 90gm, 2 days ago 40gm, and in the last 24 hours, has lost a measly 10gm. if in the next 24 hours he actually puts weight on, brax will be coming home very soon.

Gwenyth acts the same in every movie

MollyL

I agree Ru

car.eeyore

Oh dear...could hear the kitty but not see the kitty...that is because he was right under my feet...which I just put down on kitty.

9:57 am

Judi

If it's any consolation, ruru - she did lose her head in "Kiss the Girls".

9:57 am

rubyfoo

There was a hilarious piece about Gwyneth in the New Yorker about a month ago

9:57 am

stevedallas

I am trying to read Gravitys Rainbow for the 12th time. Finally made it past page 100

9:57 am

car.eeyore

And in Percy Jackson / Lightning Thief.

9:57 am

crosshair

poor kitty:(

9:58 am

car.eeyore

Well...Uma loses her head in that movie. Sorry...can't keep up.

9:58 am

rubyfoo

"Our" vet ended up hospitalized after being bitten by cat at work. Can you imagine?

9:58 am

car.eeyore

I have now spent more than enough time on Uma and Gwyneth for the day. Gak. That is time I will never get back.

9:58 am

Judi

Uma made a pretty good Medusa.

9:58 am

car.eeyore

My cat sent a vet to the ER.

9:58 am

crosshair

lol,says something about the vet

9:58 am

rubyfoo

how, car.?

9:59 am

Judi

Oh dear. Bad kitty!

9:59 am

MollyL

Gravity's Rainbow is too science geek for me.

9:59 am

car.eeyore

He had an injury and she was poking it and he bit her.

9:59 am

crosshair

have to learn to swaddle a cat correctly

9:59 am

crosshair

ouch

9:59 am

rubyfoo

We love our vet but she said it was an old sick cat. I was just surprised that they couldn't quickly prevent the infection

9:59 am

car.eeyore

I found it to be a very amateur move on her part.

10:00 am

Judi

That is a pretty amateur move, car. Most vets will have you or a tech "scruff" the cat before they start poking around.

10:00 am

crosshair

some countrys regard cats as little more than wild vermin and do not try very hard with them ;(

10:00 am

Aloyisius

oh no.. red bars.. begone, red bars!

10:00 am

rubyfoo

Of course, since this is France, she took 3 weeks off work!

rubyfoo

rubyfoo

10:02 am

Aloyisius

Crossy,..... can't find that article but every Facebook user would do well to heed its warnings!

10:05 am

crosshair

and since my last tidbit was a tad bland,i now give you the rare,not often seen bonus tidbit of the day!!!!!!

10:05 am

crosshair

indeed diane

10:05 am

crosshair

Casu marzu means "rotten cheese"Â in Sardinian and is commonly known as "maggot cheese" because it actually contains live maggots. The cheese is only okay to eat if the maggots are still alive. A comforting thought, right?

10:05 am

rubyfoo

co, judi

thanks crossy.... got my conversations mixed up... I will go and read.

10:10 am

rubyfoo

I've always wanted to go there, mael, but it's too late now

10:10 am

crosshair

it is like souther us cooking,very tasty as long as you do not ask too many questions on what is in the pot

10:10 am

mael

it's not too late, ruby! don't think that way, it's not like it's sunk into the sea :)

10:11 am

Judi

Hee hee. I'm pretty sure most folks in the U.S. try to keep the maggots OUT of their food.

10:11 am

crosshair

pure protein

10:12 am

rubyfoo

I liked bleu cheese until a woman here told me it frequently had worms

10:14 am

rubyfoo

dinner now, see you later

Oh wow, sorry but that is a blatant generalization about Southern US cooking.

10:17 am

molly,i would love nothing better than a [proper down south seafood boil:)) but i still do not ask questions

10:21 am

crosshair

but then again he liked blood and tongue sausage and turkey jelly on toast:(

10:22 am

Judi

Crossy... I think I speak for everyone when I say...Shut up.

10:22 am

sammysmom

CROSS, now you understand, being raised in maine and now living in an ohio city-- why i gaze longingly at the deer now roaming our back yards... a new thing for us in the last 10 years, and my friends and family are horrified ... i do miss venison

10:23 am

crosshair

mmmm,venison...

10:23 am

crosshair

lol,sorry,judi.i will shut up

10:23 am

Venison is good. Organs, blood products...YUCK>

10:24 am

10:24 am

weirdest thing I've eaten was raw tuna heart

10:24 am

mael

which was also delicious

10:24 am

crosshair

now that IS different

10:24 am

crosshair

i think you win the odd edible of the day mael

10:25 am

Judi

Huh. Were you on a fishing boat at the time, mael?

10:25 am

mael

I was :)

10:25 am

crosshair

either that or she was out for a swim and had a fight with a tuna

10:25 am

mael

I had just caught the tuna, too

10:25 am

mael

rather savage business, that

10:26 am

crosshair

was it like the first nations eating raw buffalo heart sort of thing?

10:26 am

Judi

Interesting. Did the heart taste anything like the tuna steak?

10:26 am

mael

it tasted like a meatier version of tuna sashimi

10:26 am

crosshair

or the swede fishermen biting the heads off kippers for luck?

10:26 am

mael

very rich taste

10:26 am

MollyL

Gee, I don't know how the rest of you tolerate us handgun totin', varmint cookin', poorly insured Americans.

10:27 am

crosshair

easy molly

10:27 am

Judi

Ah ha. Definitely not something served here in U.S. resturants.

10:27 am

mael

this was in Polynesia, on our honeymoon

10:27 am

Judi

Wonder if they serve it in Japan?

10:27 am

crosshair

i know they will buy all the shark fin they can get

10:30 am

crosshair

mael, what did it cost to get your tuna all prepped and dressed for consumption?

10:31 am

dianedecoder

I detect raised hackles, and I'm out of here for now. Have a "fun" day everyone :-)

10:32 am

crosshair

only one hackle,but we shall move on and let it pass

10:32 am

crosshair

10:32 am

Judi

Who has raised hackles???

10:33 am

crosshair

dogs and cats do:)) sticking with puppies and kitties

10:33 am

mael

we didn't get any of the tuna besides the one the skipper filleted on the boat for us to eat raw

10:34 am

MollyL

Apparently Crosshair and Diane think I'm upset. They probably forget that I was married to a Canadian and I'm well aware of misguided perceptions about Americans. I used to joke with my husband about it all the time.

10:34 am

crosshair

ahh ok.was curios mael,because those things get massive

10:34 am

crosshair

moving on.will not say anything about america.puppies and kitties

10:35 am

Soodle

Hi ML :-). How's Friday going for you guys? Its a holiday weekend here. No work Monday & I'm taking Tuesday off as well. AND, Son of Soodle is coming home tomorrow, AND the wine is delish... .... :-)

4:29 pm

MLFAN17

Hi sood i am bored but fine lol

4:29 pm

MollyL

Doesn't have time to check a family Facebook page? Seriously? That is pathetic.

4:30 pm

back

4:31 pm

Jillyjill

Yes, for instance, my B-in-l mom died, we aren't telling my M-in-law. But Mary "Has 4 kids and no time to check FB"..no communication makes everything more difficult.

4:32 pm

MollyL

I would throw the bullshit card at that. It takes minutes to check a Facebook page.

4:32 pm

MollyL

Soodle, your banks sure do take a lot of holidays.

4:32 pm

Jillyjill

And boys are taking my hybrid out to save on gas; there is not room in trunk for 4 people's luggage. Maybe she wants to pay the gas for our truck?

4:33 pm

Jillyjill

And not being computer savvy is NOT an excuse...my coworker isn't proficient but she said that same thing Molly.

4:34 pm

Soodle

My 85 yr old, early stages of Alzheimers, dear old Dad uses FB!

4:35 pm

Jillyjill

She's the youngest...world revolves around her!

4:38 pm

Jillyjill

okay...back to grid!

4:38 pm

MollyL

Wait, wait, she has 4 kids and no time to check Facebook, but she can get away for the week?

4:38 pm

Soodle

Molly. I'm chilling out with a glass of wine. Please don't rile me talking about Irish banks. In the olden days, highway robbers wore masks. Irish bankers are much worse than Dick Turpin & Co, and they don't even cover their faces. Grrrr

4:39 pm

MollyL

Okay Soodle, lets talk about Jimmy. : P

4:39 pm

Soodle

Whatcha wanna know Molls?

4:40 pm

MollyL

Flash in the pan? Steady thing? A little of both?

4:43 pm

Soodle

Hmm..... Searching for an appropriate description..... Lets just call it a slow boil...... I've known him for years. And don't think I didn't notice that you waited until I had a glass of wine before you brought the subject up... :-P

4:44 pm

MollyL

Ah, warmed up leftovers. Interesting.

4:44 pm

Jillyjill

*wine=truth serum=soodle tells all*

4:45 pm

The Winer Tells It All

4:46 pm

4:47 pm

MollyL

Reverend Ru to the rescue

4:49 pm

rururocks

*blesses everyone*

4:49 pm

Soodle

Oh boy!! Wouldn't I just LOVE to have something to confess to the Rev Ru....

4:49 pm

Soodle

Oh boy!! Wouldn't I just LOVE to have something to confess to the Rev Ru....

4:50 pm

Soodle

So good she said it twice..

4:50 pm

rururocks

*buys heavy duty rosary for soodle*

4:50 pm

MollyL

Don't be fooled. She is conveniently not mentioning lustful post pub stories.

4:52 pm

rururocks

I really hate this grid

4:55 pm

Soodle

Jimmy is a 62 yr old taxi driver. (There, the resemblance to Robert De Niro ends). He does not own a computer. He was fascinated last week reading the chat on Babble. He scratched his balding head & said 'Well! Holy God'. I rest my case.

4:55 pm

Jillyjill

Grinding through this one ruru

4:57 pm

MollyL

Is this the guy who was at the party with the pregnant girlfriend?

5:00 pm

Jillyjill

<---waiting with baited breath for soodle to answer

5:01 pm

Soodle

No no no no, Molly. That was Tony the dentist. Jimmy the taxi-driver is a different kettle of fish. There you go, Ru..... Plenty of pun fodder! :-)

5:02 pm

rururocks

*ties fingers*

5:02 pm

Jillyjill

<---steps on tongue

5:03 pm

Soodle

Hmm. Checks little black book for a chiropractor......,

5:03 pm

rururocks

*wonders if Jimmie has a rumble seat in the cab*

5:03 pm

rururocks

<---lost his virginity in a rambler

5:04 pm

MollyL

<---Refrains from feeding the meter jokes

5:04 pm

Jillyjill

<---Karman Gia....top that one!

5:04 pm

rururocks

LOL.. I was going there

5:05 pm

rururocks

Jilly is more limber than I imagined

5:05 pm

Soodle

And then they accuse Soodle of lowering the tone?????

5:05 pm

Jillyjill

<---still not sure about the gear shift...tee hee

5:05 pm

rururocks

tonality smonality

5:06 pm

rururocks

*well if you can't tell the difference jilly.. I don't know what to say*

5:06 pm

rururocks

:D

5:06 pm

Jillyjill

true dat!

5:09 pm

Soodle

Whistling innocently..... Hey Ru, what sort of a car was it that you were deflowered in? (I ask for a reason...)

5:09 pm

MollyL

Apparently Soodle doesn't know what a Rambler is.

5:09 pm

rururocks

a rambler.. fold down back seat... she was much older than me..

5:10 pm

rururocks

I think it's a car company that went out of business

5:10 pm

MollyL

My parents had two of them.

5:11 pm

rururocks

I didn't really care about comfort then.. like I do now :D

5:11 pm

MollyL

My mother's Rambler wagon was truly hideous.

5:12 pm

Soodle

Oh right! Question..... What do you call the wing mirrors on a Rambler? Answer: Footrests! Ba Boom!

5:13 pm

rururocks

well.. one thing is for sure

5:14 pm

Jillyjill

ROFLMAO!!

5:15 pm

rururocks

the car's shock absorbers were never the same again

5:16 pm

rururocks

missing a c.. damn

5:18 pm

Soodle

You know what? Being old & wrinkly & menopausal sucks, but at least I'll never have to compromise any car's shock absorbers again. And for that I'm truly grateful.

5:19 pm

dan2bit

I'd just like to express my annoyance with the I word

9:26 pm

Jacula

Which 'L' or do you mean 'I' word?

9:27 pm

dan2bit

the 'eye' word

9:27 pm

Jacula

The eskimo home?

9:27 pm

dan2bit

as spelled by a heavy metal band?

9:28 pm

Jacula

No, as spelled by the Inuit people. Plural ends in a 't'.

9:29 pm

dan2bit

Well I guess that makes me the ignorant philistine :-)

9:29 pm

Jacula

Not at all. One person can't know everything!

9:30 pm

dan2bit

and now I learnt something cool today! thanks Jac

9:31 pm

Jacula

Y/w, dan2bit. I know mostly through Babble and also through loving the study of words.

9:31 pm

Jacula

Something cool. Nice pun there, d2b!

9:31 pm

dan2bit

;-)

9:32 pm

Jacula

The great thing about Babble is that lots of people know lots of different things and, between us, we can get the grids done. :-)

9:34 pm

Jacula

I'm available for clue giving for a short while, if anyone needs it.

9:37 pm

uusue2

Good evening, all!

9:37 pm

Jacula

I assume those still searching have got ho6/30? A warm place to sleep or a place where gossip is rife.

9:38 pm

Jacula

Hi Sue.

9:39 pm

uusue2

hi Jacula! I am just starting (got about 20 words early this morning but then got busy)

9:39 pm

Jacula

That's always the way, isn't it, Sue?

9:39 pm

uusue2

so thanks for the ho6!

9:39 pm

Jacula

y/w!

9:40 pm

uusue2

I thought I might be less busy after I retired - I guess I am but am busy in different ways

9:41 pm

Jacula

I thought the same after I got made redundant. It doesn't work quite how you think it will, does it? lol

9:41 pm

Jacula

More money would be nice though!

9:41 pm

uusue2

indeed not!

9:42 pm

uusue2

yeah, I'm just hoping the state doesn't take away my retirement benefits, I am kind of counting on them

9:44 pm

Jacula

li7/44 - is the li5/16 verb form. Opposite of not dark. Li5.14 and li7/40 are the Scottish words for the same thing - think along the lines of 'it's a braw, bricht moonlit nicht'

9:45 pm

uusue2

got them, thanks!

9:46 pm

Jacula

I've found out that I won't get my UK pension at 60 or een 65 now. I'll be 66 - so a decade away - before I can claim it... if they haven't moved the goalposts again by then. :(

9:47 pm

uusue2

I could still get social security at 62.5 - which is in 3 months - but I will get more if I wait until I am older - have to start claiming it by 70.5 and I am hoping to be able to wait that long

9:47 pm

Jacula

ta5/12 = to tease in a nasty way. Ta7/36 is the past tense.

9:47 pm

uusue2

got those, thanks!

9:48 pm

Jacula

Must've been thinking about the UK Pension laws when I posted the last clues. lol

9:48 pm

uusue2

haha, I can see that :-)

9:50 pm

Jacula

ta6/37 - a fish - begins with the ta4 for tight and ends with the last 2 letters of a short word for a canine pet.

9:51 pm

stidgmere

ty for the ta clue. I'm just starting and working my way down the first colun of letters.

9:51 pm

uusue2

hi gmere!

9:52 pm

Jacula

to6/24 and verb form to7/40 - means dressed in a roman way and follows on from the roman gown word to4/6 and Latin plural to5/14.

9:52 pm

Jacula

Hi Stid's Mum.x

9:53 pm

stidgmere

Hi uu and jacula. Haven't seen you lately jacula, glad you are here.

9:53 pm

Jacula

Nice of you to notice and to say so, stidge!

9:53 pm

uusue2

ha, had the roman wear but not the variations, thanks!

un6/30 - not as neat as I would like! Describes my house right now!

9:54 pm

stidgmere

This has been such a busy day that I am so happy to be able to sit and enjoy the Babbleland life.

9:55 pm

Jacula

It's nice to sit and relax, isn't it?

9:56 pm

Jacula

ya6/27 - apparently, it's a root vegatable.

9:57 pm

Jellen

Hello...

9:57 pm

uusue2

ok, I have nbs and nbt and am more than half way, I think I will declare victory and wander off

9:57 pm

stidgmere

Today we got the chickens that we ordered in the spring. We were going to get half now and half in September but the farmer decided to combine the growing season and we got all of the chickens tonight. So where to put them? (Picture the boneless chicken ranch.)

9:57 pm

uusue2

hi jellen!

9:57 pm

uusue2

and gmere, these are live chickens?

9:57 pm

stidgmere

Enjoy the wander of it, uu.

9:58 pm

Jacula

Oh, blimey, Stidge!

9:58 pm

Jacula

Hi Jellen.x

9:58 pm

Jacula

Sue - whatever suits you. x

9:58 pm

stidgmere

No, dressed chickens, ready for the freezer. Our freezer wasn't that big so the farmer has put half of them in his big freezer.

9:59 pm

rururocks

suit and tie Stidgmere or just khakis?

9:59 pm

Jacula

Oh, that's easier then. lol

9:59 pm

Jacula

I thought you meant live chickens.

9:59 pm

Jacula

Lol, Ruru.

10:00 pm

stidgmere

Well, kind of the bumpy, skinny kind of dressing. Sage would be nice in the dressing eventually.

10:00 pm

rururocks

People in oregon and Washington do dress up their chickens...

10:00 pm

Jacula

Maybe they were all in tutus and tuxes, and princess dreses an expecting to go to a party?

10:00 pm

rururocks

clown outfits, race car drivers.. witches, etc

10:00 pm

stidgmere

I saw the magazine with the clothing on live chickens. Weird.

10:01 pm

stidgmere

Raincoats, here in the great Northwest.

10:01 pm

uusue2

hi ruru!

10:01 pm

Jacula

Now we're going off into nether realms. lol

10:01 pm

uusue2

And I am glad you are not dealing with live chickens, gmere - not that I have anything against them but it sounds like a lot of work

10:01 pm

rururocks

hi sue

10:02 pm

uusue2

anyway now I really am off - see you all tomorrow!

10:02 pm

stidgmere

You are right uu. Goodnight.

10:02 pm

rururocks

you have to wing it sue :D

10:02 pm

Jacula

I'm going to have to go off soon, too. Been here far longer than I intended. But that's Babble for you!

10:04 pm

Jacula

5 more mins to get any clue requests in!

10:05 pm

Jacula

by4/8 = 8 computer bits. Sounds like what an angry dog might do to you.

10:07 pm

Jacula

bi5/16 - Love this word! It's the thing that looks like a toilet and, when I went to the bathroom of a schoolfriend in the late 60s and saw my first one, came home and said, 'Mum! Diane's got a bum washer in her bathroom!'

10:08 pm

Minveryork

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

10:08 pm

Minveryork

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

10:09 pm

Jacula

Hi Min. Hope you are arriving with a clue story because I'm about to leave to get some sleep. xx

10:10 pm

Jacula

au4,6 and 5 are all relating to the relative that is your mother or father's sister.

10:11 pm

Minveryork

No soty of clues today.I still have 6 more words left to find.

10:11 pm

Jacula

Need any clues before I leave, Min?

10:12 pm

Minveryork

No thanks!I'm going to see if my monkeys will help me out.

10:13 pm

Nef

Good Evening Everyone. I haven't had much time to Babble lately; things are pretty wild now with our son and family here.

10:14 pm

Nef

Hi Jacula! Haven't seen you for the longest time!

10:14 pm

Jacula

Okay

10:14 pm

Jacula

Hi Nef - you just caught me.

10:15 pm

Minveryork

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

10:15 pm

Nef

how are you doing these days? And you too Min; I haven't seen you for a while either!

10:15 pm

Jacula

au4/5 - US word for a car. au6/24 - very dodgy verb or past tense form for that word.

10:16 pm

Nef

thanks, Jac. I haven't heard that word since my Granma was alive! :-)

10:18 pm

Jacula

I live inland in UK but we have seeagulls here now. At one time the first bird you would hear heralding the dawn was a sparrow, followed by the blackbird. Then it was the blackbird, followed by the pigeon. Nowadays, the gulls get in first. It's very disconcerting to hear gulls inland when you've always thought of them as seaside holiday sound birds.

10:19 pm

Jacula

y/w, Nef.

10:20 pm

Nef

I live about 1000 miles from any ocean and we have seagulls all the time (but then again, Minnesota has over 10,000 lakes.

10:20 pm

Jacula

ac4/8 - a bit like the breaky heart song. It is painful.

10:21 pm

Jacula

Her in UK you're never more than 30 miles from the sea, but gulls inland is a new thing within the past 4 or 5 years.

10:21 pm

Nef

Really? That's so strange....

10:22 pm

Jacula

I guess the gulls go where the easy meals are.

10:23 pm

Nef

OH! Speaking of birds; we had a bald eagle fly and circle over our house yesterday AM when I was on my way to an appointment. We only live 2 blocks from 1 lake (and have 4 others within 1-2 miles of us); but Bald Eagles usually aren't seen here in the city like that.

10:23 pm

Jacula

Gulls, ravens and jackdaws now frequent motorway cafes and then fly out to nearby places.

10:24 pm

Nef

what would be the easy meals there for them?

10:24 pm

Nef

I'll have to Google jackdaws. I've never heard of them.

10:24 pm

Jacula

Can't claim to have seen a bald eagle here! That's impressive Nef. Buzzards etc., here.

10:25 pm

stidmama

JACULA!!!!! *scatters choclits willy-nilly in haste to greet Jac properly*

10:25 pm

stidmama

(hey all)

10:25 pm

stidmama

and NEF!!! :-)

10:25 pm

Nef

hi stid.

10:25 pm

Jacula

Easy meals for birds are places where food put in bins overflows or the food is on the ground.

10:26 pm

stidmama

hey Nef -- how's the summer going for you? Haven't seen you in ages...

10:26 pm

nrkii

Hi all!

10:26 pm

Nef

I've seen that things are starting to go on the new house! WOOT!!!!

10:26 pm

Minveryork

Hello stidmama!How are you doing today? Welcome to grid

10:26 pm

Jacula

Hi Stid. How's the new house foundation going?

10:26 pm

stidmama

nrk! :-D *cupth runneth overth*

10:27 pm

stidmama

It's going -- I think. The ground is scraped down to "virgin soil" and there were some boards lying around that I think will be the forms for the cement.

10:27 pm

Nef

stid; our son, DIL and grandson moved in with us about 2 weeks ago. It's been --- interesting, shall we say?

10:27 pm

nrkii

so happy for you, stid!

10:27 pm

Jacula

Blimey, Stid! *Picks up scattered chocolate goods*

10:27 pm

Nef

hi nrkii.

10:28 pm

stidmama

ugh, Nef -- WHEN my house is done, you are welcome to come visit and stay... it will be fully accessible for most purposes. :-) roll-in shower and all in the master bath, so drop by ANY time.

10:29 pm

Minveryork

Hello nrkii! How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid

10:29 pm

stidmama

not that it's a bad thing you had the room for them, just that I know you'll need a vacation by then!

10:29 pm

stidmama

hey Min!

10:29 pm

stidgmere

Hi mama. Thought you were otherwise occupied. Rose called with cancel Monday.

10:29 pm

nrkii

thanks Min... I'm good, how are you?

10:29 pm

stidmama

hello Mother -- I hope she is not unwell (again)?

10:30 pm

Jacula

So, stid - would you say the fire gave you freedom to start again or that you are doing the best you can since it happened? I ask out of interest, not any malice.

10:30 pm

Nef

Thanks, stud. If we ever get out that far I'll let you know. I have a nephew in Tacoma area, but I haven't been that far in over 40 years.

10:30 pm

stidmama

I got to the party this evening, stayed long enough for my friends to see me and used the chickens as an excuse to leave. Left Matthew, Grant will go to his friends' house tonight, and there were lots of people hanging out.

10:30 pm

nrkii

Sitting here playing babble on my work laptop, while a stranger is accessing my personal laptop remotely to try to stop the blue screen of death crap that has been going on the last 2 days. Joy.

10:30 pm

RoundBarn

Hi nef and everybi ody--I'm back from 2 weeks in Vermont at our little lake, my granddaughter from Paris cme and it was sonderful. Nef, Konrad Lorenz worked with/observed jackdaws.

10:31 pm

stidmama

best I can, Jacula -- I was only just feeling I really had some equilibrium after the ordeal of grad school. It's not going to be my "dream house" but it will be lovely and it will be a good place to grow old in, and watch my already-mature garden continue to develop.

10:31 pm

stidmama

oh dear, nrk -- not fun.

10:31 pm

stidmama

hey RoundBarn! sounds like a perfect time!

10:32 pm

Nef

Hi RB. I'm glad you had a nice vacation

10:32 pm

Jacula

At leat your Mum only talks to you on here and doesn't ring you up every 5 minutes to talk aout trivia, Stid. However, having already lost my Dad, I know that I must talk to her - however inconvenient it may be - because she won't always be around and, one day, I'm going to long to hear her voice.

10:32 pm

stidgmere

Rose is fine, refrigerator is on its last legs. Replacement due Monday.

10:32 pm

stidmama

I would say, nef -- that it is time to renew that family connection. (imho, of course) AND there are some absolutely lovely museums in Tacoma now, as well as lots of excellent places elsewhere to visit. We would love to have you!

10:33 pm

stidmama

Glad she is okay -- we'll reschedule, yes? I need my Scrabble fix!

10:33 pm

Jacula

Stid - I'd be like you, I think, in being glad that my garden survived.

10:33 pm

stidgmere

Looking at the following Monday. We'll talk this weekend, you and I.

10:34 pm

stidmama

LOL Jac! I love my Mother, we have such a great time together -- will post more pics from our recent trip to BC when I remember (my brain is mush these days). Glad you are there for your Mother, too -- it's a connection that is so important.

10:34 pm

Nef

Aww, Jac. I'm sorry that you feel you must endure constant phone calls about nothing. My Mom dies when I was 8; so definitely cherish the calls.

10:34 pm

Minveryork

I am doing well nrkii, but struggling with my last six words.

10:34 pm

10:36 pm

RoundBarn

sorry abt the repeats--tjankyou, Min--I'm sorry you weren't in Burlington or I would have called. Maybe next summer. Two weeks without babble has weaned me away--so off to pay a dozen bills before bedtime. AArfh.

10:36 pm

Nef

We have a package for you RB; but life got really crazy with the kids moving in early.

10:51 pm

Nef

LOL, hurshy! I was wondering how much sushi a person could eat at a place like that

10:51 pm

hurshy

*giggle* i only ate one piece of the raw stuff, actually, anyway, i am a sushi wimp. i had appetizers and rolls and stuff mostly.

10:52 pm

hurshy

sushi rolls i mean. not bread rolls.

10:52 pm

hurshy

they don't have bread rolls.

10:52 pm

Okay, my computer has now been fixed for the 3rd time in 2 days. Think this will stick?

10:52 pm

stidmama

*Fgners crossed for nrk computer*

10:53 pm

Nef

I wonder how they could have such a place and make $$$. I would think that sushi chefs would cost a lot.

10:53 pm

hurshy

well, it's a regular restaurant too. not everyone does the all you can eat sushi part.

10:54 pm

Minveryork

I am finished! I have fireworks! My final word was la 5/16.

10:54 pm

Nef

I hope it's fixed for you nrkii. It would be a pain to have a computer not work on a weekend

10:54 pm

stidmama

It does NOT take a lot of time to make sushi rolls -- we used to make something like 12 rolls at a time for supper, Nef. What takes time is getting all the ingredients, and since they have lots of customers they can afford to set up multiple parts...

10:54 pm

stidmama
