melonheadjujube

nite, jilli!

1:02 am

rururocks

I like Mahler too

1:02 am

melonheadjujube

French horns were out of this world. If you ask me they should make a million dollars a year.

1:03 am

melonheadjujube

Even my sometimes restless 22-year-old sat through it rapt.

1:03 am

rururocks

wow

1:04 am

melonheadjujube

The audience was really in it, none of the usual coughing that plagues concerts sometimes.

1:04 am

melonheadjujube

Wow, this grid has a lott of "onesies".

1:04 am

rururocks

that's nice

1:04 am

rururocks

I saw yoyo ma once and you could have heard a pin drop

Erda

who was the conductor?

1:05 am

rururocks

who me?

1:05 am

rururocks

or melon

1:06 am

melonheadjujube

The orchestra has a great ticket plan, too. You can buy a passcard in increments of ten vouchers at $30/each. The only restriction is that you can redeem them no earlier than the monday before a concert. Amazingly, there were seats left under that plan, so we sat in the dress circle for 30 bucks a pice; those are $120 seats!

1:06 am

melonheadjujube

Fabio Luisi of the Metropolitan Opera. Pianist was Helen Grimaud.

1:07 am

melonheadjujube

I saw YoYo Ma in Akron, ruru, same thing.

1:07 am

rururocks

he's just incredible

1:07 am

melonheadjujube

My nephew, who was a budding cellist at the time was enthralled.

1:07 am

rururocks

the richest sounds I've ever heard from a stringed instrument

1:09 am

rururocks

1:09 am

Erda

Seiji

1:10 am

rururocks

thanks

1:10 am

melonheadjujube

Never saw Ozawa live, only on TV. A huge favorite in CLE is Pierre Boulez. He's getting on in years, has canceled in recent years, sorry to say.

1:10 am

rururocks

1:10 am

melonheadjujube

I saw Szell conduct. I was about 15.

1:13 am

melonheadjujube

I've played for a few notables. A highlight in my playing career was performing in the Verdi Requiem with none other than Robert Shaw.

1:13 am

rururocks

wow

1:13 am

Erda

wow is right!

1:14 am

melonheadjujube

My favorite conductor at the late Cleveland Opera was Anton Coppola; he's Francis Ford's uncle. He would sing the arias as he rehearsed us in this raspy "godfather" voice. We'd talk about movies and food during rehearsal breaks.

1:15 am

rururocks

I sat next to Francis at a wedding once

1:15 am

melonheadjujube

You don't say!

1:17 am

rururocks

I didn't know he was from Cleveland

1:18 am

rururocks

i need one more word to go to bed

1:19 am

melonheadjujube

He isn't. All our conductors at the opera were from out of town, mostly New York, as was Anton. We had him about one production a years through the 90s. I retired from playing professionally around 1998. I hear Coppola just retired, this from a friend who plays in the Tampa Opera orchestra.

1:20 am

rururocks

ah

1:20 am

melonheadjujube

3 shy of nbt (have nbs). I need rightmost A, and the bottom row A, as well as the E to its right )in the bottom row).

1:21 am

rururocks

that a is ae 5 i think

1:21 am

melonheadjujube

It took me a long time after retiring to get into going to concerts. Even now, when I go I acutely miss playing in an orchestra.

1:21 am

melonheadjujube

the rightmost or the bottomA?

1:21 am

rururocks

I bet

1:22 am

rururocks

not sure

1:22 am

rururocks

the right most is at 4 I bet

1:22 am

melonheadjujube

It is hard to tell in this grid.

1:23 am

melonheadjujube

Nope, at4 was 2nd column A.

1:24 am

rururocks

that bottom a is ad 7

1:24 am

rururocks

the right is ae 5

1:24 am

melonheadjujube

I have none of the ad- words yet.

1:24 am

melonheadjujube

How was service today,Rose

2:07 am

grannyrose

2:08 am

puglet

My girlfriend and her hubby came last night and we went down to the campgrounds and enjoyed coffee and just visisting in the outdoors.Was a beautiful fallish evening

2:09 am

puglet

2:09 am

grannyrose

lovely, pugs.

2:10 am

grannyrose

we bring our pets into the church, or their photos, if they are no longer with us. they are blessed. people come from miles around, as not many churches do this.

2:10 am

puglet

what kind of gifts do you put in your box,Rose

2:11 am

puglet

I like that but have never heard of that

2:12 am

grannyrose

hmmm, grey lead peancils, colouring pencils, textas, erasers, pencil sharpener, lined exercise book, sunhat, hair clips, solar-powered torch...lots of stuff.

2:13 am

grannyrose

these boxes are going to a third world country.we have to nominate the age and sex of the child.

2:14 am

grannyrose

th5 kids apparently erase the previous years work from their workbooks in order to re-use them the next year.

2:15 am

puglet

I dont think any of us really knows what poor is and how lucky we do have it

2:18 am

Dippnall

out of lurking....we do the same at my school rose....what is lovely is that my own kids (allegedly adults..) still fill boxes and send them in with me. We are so fortunate. Lovely to think that you are doing the same on the other side of the world.

2:20 am

grannyrose

hey, dipp. i know it is world-wide. and yes, it's nice to know that we can ,make a difference. even if it is for only a short while.

2:27 am

grannyrose

i have to admit to a giggle when our vicar announced the blessing of the animals, as i am a vicar of dibley fan.

2:28 am

rubyfoo

I thought it was just a rural Catholic thing, but I'm glad your CofE does it Rosie

2:28 am

puglet

I know there is a placein the Bible that tells of animals going to heaven but Iam not sure where it is,but I have read it

2:28 am

gapeach

Ask them, puglet. I bet someone would have it done.

2:30 am

puglet

I will look into it Peach

2:31 am

rubyfoo

has anybody seen the movie Chocolat where there is a discussion with the Young priest about whether r not dogs have souls (I think they do!) and therefore, if they have to observe Lent

2:31 am

rubyfoo

(I think they don't)

2:32 am

joso

I'm surprised pug, my ex quit the church when the priest told her animals did not go to heaven. if her pets coulden't come she had no interest.

2:33 am

negativeneil

Hey Rose, are you still here?

2:34 am

puglet

It is in there Joso-----I have seen and read where people have had near death exp. and they see their pets waiting for them . So Ruby I would say they have souls

2:35 am

joso

i saw Chocolat ruby, but can't recall the conversation

2:36 am

rubyfoo

It was when the older man gave chocolats to his dog,Charlie

2:36 am

rubyfoo

I've seen that movie, one of my favorites, about 10 times, so know most of the dialogue by heart lol

I did! Even had some nice dreams :)

4:05 am

puglet

I dont know what happen to Rose--she just vanished and poor neil has been looking for her for sometime now

4:05 am

puglet

thats so great!

4:06 am

sprite

rose may have been called to dinner or her love may have run half nekkid through the room... priorities :)

4:07 am

puglet

thats a real posibility! :)

4:07 am

negativeneil

Not looking for her, puglet... chatting with her. For a while now. Sorry! Haha.

4:07 am

sprite

kind of surprised to see neil is still around... he was part of the whole JC/Nancyboy hoax.

4:07 am

puglet

good Neil, was feeling like I lied to you--lol

4:08 am

puglet

I dont know about that

4:08 am

sprite

you didn't miss much, don't worry

4:09 am

puglet

I will take your word on that!

4:10 am

sprite

a bad time for babble as a whole, grin. So... how have you been , pug?

4:10 am

puglet

Ive been just grand! And you?

4:11 am

sprite

am good! enjoying the peace in the house... for as long as it lasts, of course.

4:12 am

puglet

Sprite, have you read the other series that Kenyon wrote? I kind was looking at some of her other works and I dont know if it could be as good as the hunter series

4:12 am

puglet

everyone gone or still in bed?

4:14 am

sprite

I started the... let me think... Sword of Darkness, I think. Kinley McGregor is the name she is writing under, I believe. Rather good but less fun.

4:14 am

sprite

son and his girl still in bed. Daughter downstairs and my love in the garden, drinking coffee.

4:14 am

rubyfoo

4:15 am

rubyfoo

I'm popping in for another minute before we go to your favorite resto for lunch

4:15 am

sprite

hiya ruby :) *hug* And how are you today? And how are the puppies doing?

4:15 am

rubyfoo

125 earlier but no nbt

4:15 am

sprite

I wanna come, ruby! Take me with you in your purse, grin.

4:16 am

rubyfoo

Rufie has another huge "hot spot" and I am trying to treat it without the vet. He is so afraid of her because she shaves him and medicates him. Last night, besides giving him mdedrol and applying some cortisone lotion, I finally gave him a doggie sedative because he was rather frantic

4:17 am

rubyfoo

He is usually so calm and he kept looking in my eyes as if to say "Help me, Mom"

4:17 am

sprite

poor rufie.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

We don't knoq why he gets them. When I put him on an austere diet, he got one anyway, so I don't think it's food.

4:19 am

puglet

does he dig at them

4:20 am

rubyfoo

yes, it depends where it is. Usually, they're on his haunches, so he bites them. This time, it's on his shoulder, so he scratches it with his hind foot which has very sharp claws

4:20 am

rubyfoo

last night, it was all bloody and Raffie kept trying to lick it

4:20 am

puglet

could nerves or stress bring them on

4:20 am

sprite

ruby, check out this link:
http://tinyurl.com/kvb8ddo
At the bottom of the page is an interesting part about hot spots.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

he's a very calm dog so I don't think so. The breeder I know says that her chows get them, too, so I guess it's just a weakned of some sort

4:21 am

sprite

it may be caused by an insect bite or a flea bite.

4:21 am

puglet

Ruby, could whatever is biting you be biting him too

4:22 am

rubyfoo

I don't think so. I use that flea and tick medicatin on him and have never seen a flea.

4:23 am

rubyfoo

I feel so sorry for him because hes such a sweet and handsome boy

4:23 am

sprite

ruby, check out that link I just gave. It says even one tiny insect bite might bring it on.

4:23 am

puglet

but you havent seen what has been biting you either

4:23 am

rubyfoo

there's not much I can do if that's what it is, I can't keep him out of the garden.

4:24 am

rubyfoo

That's true, pugs, but the bites have stopped since it's cooled down. I'll check sprite's link after lunch.

4:24 am

sprite

and with the heavy coats they have, it is impossible to see a single flea. Which is all he might have, because it takes only one bite... and that one bite kills the flea.

4:24 am

puglet

no you cant but to treat it the best you can

4:24 am

rubyfoo

My friends here all said that this would be a bad year for ticks, but I haven't found one on either dog (that's the first time)

4:25 am

sprite

finding out what triggers it with him is a good start to treating it best as can be.

4:25 am

rubyfoo

the vet suggested sending him to a special clinic that finds dog allergies, but it's far aay

4:25 am

rubyfoo

and VERY expensive

4:26 am

puglet

my Else gets rashes on her tummy from certain weeds, probally Beulah does too but Else has a white tummy so it show better on her

4:27 am

rubyfoo

what does the rash look like?

4:27 am

puglet

why cant your vet do a scraping and send it off or a blood sample

4:27 am

puglet

red spots

4:27 am

sprite

lol... and gone is the peace. Baby neighbour kid crying... poor little thing.

4:28 am

puglet

it must be very loud

4:28 am

rubyfoo

red spots would have to have legs to be visible on these long-haired pups! lol

4:28 am

sprite

it is. Good lungs on that one.

4:29 am

rubyfoo

why do they let him cry?

4:29 am

puglet

I bet! Beulah is black but slicked hair and I cant see them on her

4:29 am

sprite

they don't. He just goes on while they are trying to calm him, lol.

4:30 am

rubyfoo

he needs a Mama Cass hug!

4:30 am

puglet

do you live in a apartment Sprite

4:31 am

sprite

*giggle* My daughter was babysitting with them and she called me... said he wouldn't quit crying and had puked all over the place, and her. So I went there and calmed the baby while she cleaned up. The second I left the room, he started all over.

4:31 am

sprite

no, we are living in a house, but it is not freestanding. It is one of a row of houses.

4:32 am

rubyfoo

we're in a house with a big hedge all around and I can still hear the neighbors if their grandchildren are at their pool!

4:32 am

puglet

He probally feels her uncertainly on handling him--lol

4:32 am

sprite

oh yeah. Children's voices carry.

4:32 am

rubyfoo

And before them, the old neighbors had 3 very noisy small children, and it was terrible all summer

4:33 am

rubyfoo

When Sprite hugs me, I stop crying! lol

4:33 am

sprite

no, she is very good with children. It is just that a mamma has more experience. I am not afraid to hold him tight and restrict his movements, so he can calm down.

4:33 am

rubyfoo

bye for now, my friends

4:33 am

sprite

*hugs ruby* Whenever you need a hug, hun.

4:33 am

rubyfoo

I used to swaddle my son and he never cried

4:34 am

puglet

bye Ruby-enjoy your outing--hugs again

4:34 am

sprite

enjoy lunch!

4:38 am

sprite

sometimes children wind up themselves again and again by moving wildly. If it is from anger, it is ok to restrict their movements a bit, so they can calm down. It was so sweet, after the first few seconds he grabbed my neck with his arm and held close, burying his face in my neck.

4:39 am

puglet

is he their only child

4:40 am

sprite

no, he is their third. They are doing everything right. But as every mother knows, some days are just like that... they cry.

4:41 am

puglet

some crying is good for them but not so easy on us-lol

4:41 am

sprite

hehehe true. We are hormonally programmed to feel panic when they cry.

4:45 am

sprite

how is your sister doing, pug?

4:46 am

puglet

I think there is some improvement since she started the new meds for her tyroid

4:46 am

sprite

was wondering about that. How nice! She sure could use a little improvement.

4:48 am

puglet

yesterday I took her and another sister to town and we happen to find there was a little fall fair going on so we parked and walked about looking at the crafts in the booths along the streets

4:49 am

sprite

oh great! Best of all, those unplanned treats. Did you see anything good?

4:52 am

puglet

You bet, but I didnt buy anything--but got some great ideals. I had my little Annapooh with me too, her first outing in a crowd like that and she was a bit scared. But they had alot of fall decorating ideals with pumpkins

4:54 am

sprite

oh that is cool :) I like all those carved out pumpkins. Some people are total artists with them.
Great going on Annapooh. The sooner they get used to crowds, the better. We took terra everywhere when he was a pup and now he is not afraid of anything at all.

4:54 am

puglet

its getting close to babble's 6 o-clock thing

4:56 am

sprite

yes, a few more minutes indeed.

4:56 am

puglet

Ive took her to alot of places and to a store that lets pets shop with you and she does great.But this was lots of people close together,something she has not experence before==lol

4:57 am

sprite

while we were socialising terra, we took him to the playground of the school, when we took the children to and from school. Worked like a charm. And market day in the city. He loves it.

5:00 am

puglet

I would love taking Else but Iam leary about her.She is not too friendly towards strangers and I would feel bad if she bit someone.She was 7mo old when I got her from the pound. She likes riding as they all do.

5:03 am

sprite

you can build up the exposure with her, if you want. Take her to increasingly crowded areas. Don't pick her up and don't acknowledge her when she acts scared, but talk to her and pet her when she is calm. She can still learn.

5:04 am

puglet

sprite, why does babble do this? Is there a reason?

5:08 am

puglet

well tomorrow starts your new chapter in your life

5:08 am

puglet

will you be able to be on here in the morning

5:11 am

sprite

pug, yes there is a reason

5:11 am

sprite

at 5 am grid time, the game is reset on the server. The rankings are rewritten at that time.

5:12 am

sprite

pug, the new therapy group starts on Monday Sep 30th, not tomorrow. I will be on tomorrow morning for sure.

5:12 am

puglet

thank you for the imfo

5:12 am

sprite

after that, one more time on Friday, and then I will be on on Friday mornings and not anymore on Monday mornings.

5:12 am

puglet

oh--I was thinking it started monday

5:13 am

puglet

rose is returning to work tomorrow

5:13 am

sprite

yes, but next week. It is amazing how well it all fits... last day on the farm on Friday 27, then first day in the clinic on Monday 30.

5:14 am

sprite

omg... already. That is way too soon, if you ask me. But nobody ever asks me, lol.

5:14 am

puglet

well thats good you go right into the new

5:15 am

puglet

yeah I dont get it--one says work and one says rest

5:16 am

sprite

am pretty sure I am being guided to the clinic. It all fits so beautifully.

5:16 am

sprite

I hope she will be able to sit and not hurt her leg anymore than it already is.

5:17 am

puglet

she said chair duty and for 5 hours

5:18 am

sprite

ok, that is at least one good thing. Might be nice to be at work for a bit. Other people, other place to be.

5:18 am

puglet

Yeah and Iam sure she need the income too

5:19 am

sprite

yes... but I thought she was on work cover.

5:22 am

sprite

not sure who recently told me that the grids don't change randomly but with certain patterns. But I think she is right. Again several repeat words from yesterday. Like the AL girl's names.

5:23 am

puglet

I did too Sprite and she still needs surgery yet but waiting on the insurance co

5:24 am

sprite

I so wish things were better organised there. Here, this wouldn't have been happening like this. She would have been able to stay at home while waiting for the op, and the insurance would pay for the op without question.

5:27 am

puglet

you would think that the workforce would treat their long time workers better. But it would be about the same here I hate to say

5:28 am

puglet

money is more important then life in most of these cases

5:28 am

puglet

did you get to read those short stories on DH

5:29 am

negativeneil

So what did you mean by the comment you made at 4:07 am spite? How was I "part of" that? Nope. I just missed all of that... except for someone who came later going by the name "Angel" and we think is also "Andrew in Drag".

5:29 am

sprite

very true, pug, and makes me worry for our rose

5:30 am

sprite

and yes, I read the stories you said... so beautiful

5:31 am

sprite

hello neil, rewriting history? You were like peas in a pod with the JC and Nancyboy chars. And your email convo with me was about the same as the one between the JC and me. I reserve my judgment.

5:31 am

negativeneil

How so? I didn't know "Nancyboy". And I don't know Julian that well either. So nope... not so at all.

5:32 am

negativeneil

Huh? Whatever.

5:32 am

grannyrose

now ladies, if i may wade in here...

5:32 am

sprite

as I said, rewriting history. Doesn't matter to me, I will keep my distance, as I did before. Not trusting you.

5:32 am

puglet

by all means Rose

5:33 am

sprite

hiya rose! Lovely to see you, grin. We were worried about you, I heard you are going back to work tomorrow?

5:33 am

negativeneil

Glad that you do. Don't need to know nasty people.

5:33 am

sprite

and off he is with calling names. Bye neil, as I said, I will keep my distance.

5:34 am

grannyrose

there have been some very shady characters in this chog. please believe me, Neil is NOT one of them. i very rarely am so assertive. but i must emphasise that Neil is a real person.

5:35 am

negativeneil

Names? Haven't called anyone a "name".

5:35 am

negativeneil

But you act nasty, must be nasty.

5:35 am

sprite

I was already keeping my distance from him before the whole charade, rose... as a result of not so pleasant emails. I will stay away from the drama with neil.

5:35 am

negativeneil

Please do that. No amount of distance could be enough.

5:36 am

negativeneil

That's why you're creating it by making nasty comments about me in here, when I was doing nothing to you? Yeah... oook!

5:36 am

sprite

btw rose, did you meet him in person?

5:36 am

grannyrose

okay, we are agreed. Neil and sprite are oil and water.

5:37 am

negativeneil

Has everyone met you in person?

5:37 am

sprite

yep. Several babblers.

That isn't all of them I'm sure. Many people I know online have met me too... just not Babblers so far.

5:39 am

sprite

well, as I said, not wanting to be part of the everlasting neil drama. Am stopping this useless conversation, neil.

5:39 am

sprite

rose, pug said you were going back to work tomorrow. Do you feel ready?

5:41 am

grannyrose

sprite, not really, but i have a mortgage to pay...what else can i do?

5:41 am

sprite

darn it, hun. I SO wish you would have the social security we have here. Will send stabilizing and healing vibes to your leg... you will stay put, won't you?

5:42 am

puglet

sprite, we are talking about Rose

5:44 am

sprite

lololllll true. Yeah, she is a firecracker, I know. But she is also a wise lady.

5:44 am

grannyrose

* giggle * my dear ol' dad brought me up to keep on battling on.

5:45 am

puglet

I bought a bottle of nailpolish (something I dont wear often) and I just love the color. Its a orangey-red. A perfect fallish color

5:46 am

sprite

oh wow, pug! That brightens up the whole day, doesn't it, every time you look at it!

5:47 am

puglet

yeah it does--lol

5:47 am

sprite

wtg on your dad, rose. It ain't over till the fat lady sings... and I am not singing yet!

5:47 am

sprite

I know. I don't do it often either, but when I do, I can't stop looking at my nails, lol. Very silly but also very much fun.

5:47 am

puglet

See Sprite,, shes going to be too active on that leg and ignore the pain

5:48 am

sprite

she may not, pug. She will remember. I have faith in rose.

5:49 am

puglet

one year I painted my toenails orange and yellow and the chicks kept pecking at them thinking them corn, I guess-lol

5:49 am

A*n*i*t*a

morning all

5:49 am

puglet

morning Anita

5:50 am

sprite

hiya Anita :)

5:50 am

sprite

lol pug! Oh, such a funny image that is!

5:54 am

sprite

on the farm, we feed the chickens. I always enjoy that. They are so greedy and all over you. And then when I say: good morning ladies, move over... they almost sit on my hands, lol.

5:55 am

puglet

lol--sorry had to take annapooh out to potty--shes afraid of the dark

5:55 am

sprite

lol

5:58 am

puglet

getting back to the book thing(I didnt answer back due to letting you and Ruby talk) I dont think her other series interest me. It seemed dull compared to the hunters

5:59 am

puglet

But I got several more to buy and read to get through them all; I want to get the first one fanasty lover because I think it is about Grace and Julian

5:59 am

sprite

she is a very good writer and I think the other series are good too. But maybe not as much fun. For now, you have a whole lot of books still to go in the DH series :)

6:01 am

sprite

oh and btw, feel free to post whenever, in the middle of whatever conversation... I can do several at once, grin.

6:01 am

puglet

but its polite to let someone else enjoy you too-lol

6:02 am

sprite

lolollll pug, you are such a dearheart. Seriously. Such a loving person you are.

6:04 am

puglet

we are just going into the start of our fall weather and its pretty watching the trees to start changing colors

6:04 am

puglet

do you have four seasons there

6:04 am

sprite

my favorite time of the year. The colours and the smells, and even the weather.

6:05 am

sprite

yes, we have 4 seasons.

6:05 am

puglet

do you have alot of snow during the winter

6:06 am

sprite

some winters. They can be rainy or snowy or with lots of ice. Very unpredictable, the weather in the netherlands.

6:07 am

puglet

I love fall and spring the best--summer until it gets past 85 and winter until ice and below temps arrives

6:07 am

puglet

that sounds about like our winter too

6:07 am

puglet

does Rose get snow?

6:08 am

puglet

and Ruby?

6:08 am

sprite

I love fall best. Storms, beautiful colours and such lovely smells, toadstools. I like spring for the bursting out life from everything. Summer unless it is too hot and humid. And winter would be grand if it wouldn't be so dark.

6:09 am

sprite

don't know about rose, but ruby, yes. She can get snow, and ice.

6:09 am

sprite

oh, I have a waking light now, for light treatment during the winter! First winter I can use it. Will be very interesting to see if it works against depression.

6:10 am

puglet

do you have dark days like alaska?

6:11 am

puglet

Ive read that sunlight does help depressions

6:12 am

sprite

lol no, there is always day and night here. But the days are short in winter. Sun up late in the morning and down in the afternoon.

6:13 am

sprite

yes, they say that when you get too little daylight, depressions can be caused or made worse. I have this light that will start shining very softly an hour before I get up, then grow stronger until the alarm. It should imitate waking up from the summer sun.

6:13 am

puglet

I think it would be very hard to have weeks of total darkness

6:13 am

sprite

would be impossible to manage for me, pug. And for many people, I think. So many depressed people in the scandinavian countries.

6:14 am

puglet

oh wow, let me know how that works for you

6:14 am

puglet

why is that sprite

6:14 am

sprite

will do! I have faith that it will help. It has been tested extensively.

6:14 am

sprite

I think because of the long dark winters, pug.

6:15 am

puglet

did you get this through the clinic

6:15 am

sprite

no, I got it from my medical insurance.

6:15 am

puglet

I have never heard of such a light

6:16 am

rubyfoo

Hello again, ladies, back from Sprite's resto! It's a beautiful day but a little bit chilly.

In December, here, it's dark by 5PM and doesn't get light until 8. We make up for it in June when it's ight until 11

6:18 am

sprite

for ruby and me it is about the same. She is a little bit more south, but not much.

6:18 am

rubyfoo

If I lie down and try to nap in the afternoon, I put a lamp on so that it shines in my face; it makes me wake up happier

6:18 am

sprite

very smart, ruby.

6:18 am

puglet

yes that is

6:18 am

rubyfoo

I wasn't really hungry as we eat VERY big breakfasts on Sunday. We bring home most of the meaty for the dogs' dinner

7:12 am

crosshair

just a nice strong variety that i like.i find teas like green teas and english breakfast and earl grey too weak

7:13 am

MLFAN17

oh..cross have you ever had black tea just by itself? I have heard its not bad. But read somewhere white tea is the best health wise

7:13 am

crosshair

i know the green and white teas are much better for you but they are not to my taste

7:14 am

MLFAN17

i find green tea(plain) too sour

7:14 am

crosshair

they have more flaveniods or some such thing.same as whats in high 70% or more pure chiocolate

7:15 am

MLFAN17

is that good or bad?

7:15 am

crosshair

it is very good for you

7:15 am

MLFAN17

7:16 am

crosshair

so do not be shy about eating those 70,80 or 90% pure chocolate bars you see at the grocer

7:16 am

MLFAN17

7:17 am

crosshair

7:17 am

crosshair

white tea is nice when you are doing a batch of iced tea however

7:37 am

we are so fortunate here.our shelter is no kill and we have foster families in place for those months when occupancy is high.the new provincial rules and regs for buying a cat or dog are also making a huge difference

Up early to try and get my work done and still have time in the day for chores.

7:42 am

How are you liking school, crossy?

7:43 am

crosshair

it is going very well,mimi though after a gap of 33 years,i have had to retrain my mind a bit

7:45 am

MimiCat

I know what you're saying. When I went back after just as long I had to write a 2500 word original research paper complete with references, bibliography, etc. I was so proud to get 100% on it. I hadn't done that kind of paper since I was in my mid-20s. Felt really good to know I could still do a good job.

7:45 am

crosshair

atm i am learning the intricacies of excel spreadsheets and the math formulaes for the cells

7:46 am

crosshair

oh! it is now time for something new!! it is time fro crossy's groaner of the day!! it is a tad long but bear with me...

7:46 am

MimiCat

All math ever did for me was lower my grade point average!

7:48 am

crosshair

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.

"Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday." Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager.

Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral. The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed. Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.

She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral." She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?"

The bank manager looks back at her and says..."It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."

7:49 am

Oh, yeah...a groaner all right..but a fun one.

it is still there waiting for you,mimi:)

8:01 am

MimiCat

I LOVE autumn and the change of colors in the trees...however, it's a distant memory for me. The only color change here is from dark brown to light brown.

8:04 am

crosshair

that is not good:(( i can take you on back road and paths through the forest where it is such a dense area, you can actually smell the fgreen and the growing and the moss, and the soft secret deer lays of clover where they let their young sleep. you can smell the water of the streams and brooks as they babble and chuckle over the rocks down to the shores of georgian bay..my god! i am a walt whitman poem! lol

8:05 am

8:07 am

last time we were on a spur of the trail, we found a whole bunch of those giant puff ball mushrooms

8:08 am

Scrabbler

Lots of mushrooms, from wee to huge.

8:08 am

crosshair

things were like soccer balls

8:08 am

Scrabbler

Wow.

8:09 am

crosshair

i am told they are a delicacy,but the rule of thumb with the bruce trail is to leave it as you found it

8:09 am

magzel

before those giant puff ball mushrooms dry out they are delicious sautÃ©ed in butter. grow at the base of oak trees

8:10 am

Scrabbler

I would never pick and cook wild mushrooms.

8:10 am

Scrabbler

Someone has to be a mushroom expert to do that lest they end up dead or needing a liver transplant.

8:10 am

Crossy, will keep your imagery in my mind.

8:22 am

crosshair

:) the minds eye is a wonderous thing sometimes.:)

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Sure is.

8:24 am

crosshair

there is a live theatre group from the 80,s that used to work together to do audio books on cassette tapes called the minds eye. they are well worth looking up if you enjoy audio books

8:25 am

crosshair

each character has its own distinct personality,not just one person droning their way through a book

8:25 am

Scrabbler

My brain does not do audio books very well. I am visual so when listening my mind wanders off.

I want detest so bad!

2:39 pm

MollyL

I can't root for The Ravens. I still hold a grudge about what happened with The Colts.

2:40 pm

MollyL

Same problem with a Beltway World Series. Too many fans on opposite sides in too close proximity.

2:40 pm

phandmd

but the Ravens had nothing to do with what happened with the colts... The owner of the Colts was an idiot!

2:41 pm

MollyL

Yes Phan, my rational side knows that. My irrational side does not. : )

2:42 pm

phandmd

I hear you. It actually took me until "The Blind Side" to even show a modicum of interest in the Ravens. But I am first a Skins fan and always a Skins fan!

4:15 pm

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her name plate that the teller's name is Patricia Whack.

So, he says, "Mrs. Whack, I'd like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation." Patti looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to borrow.

The frog says "$30,000." The teller asks his name and the frog says that his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it is OK, he knows the bank manager.

Patti explains that $30,000 is a substantial amount of money and that he will need to secure some collateral against the loan. She asks if he has anything he can use as collateral.

The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny pink porcelain pig, about half an inch tall. Bright pink and perfectly formed.

Very confused, Patti explains that she'll have to consult with the manager and disappears into a back office.

She finds the manager and says: "There is a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000. And he wants to use this as collateral."

She holds up the tiny pink pig.
"I mean, what the heck is this?"

(are you ready?)

(are you sure?)

(here it comes!!!)
Play Song

The bank manager looks back at her and says,
"It's a knick knack, Patti Whack.
Give the frog a loan.
His old man's a Rolling Stone."

Solomon's wisdom was attributed to his decision to split the baby presented to him as the child of two mothers.

hi all. anyone else but me get upset that mentally ill people who want to shoot and kill and use guns arent put away?????????? for good? used to be like that but now they roam free and then the nation is in shock and upset when the kill a bunch of innocent people. same with the shooter from newtown conn. and now the guy at the navy yard. anyone else feel we need to change these laws? and by the way, did you know if he does go to prison and gets put on meds, they let him out and no one, thats right, no one monitors that he is taking his meds!

5:58 pm

puglet

its not over just yet

6:00 pm

mkg

solomon had wives from all over the place. hard to imagine what good a wife was when you have 500. i mean if i were wife number 345 i would see hubby every 500 days at best to have a nice romantic night. how horrible.

6:00 pm

mab

most seriously mentally ill people don't kill, aren't dangerous

6:01 pm

mab

and most of the 'famous' killers aren't discovered to be mentally ill until after the fact

6:02 pm

mab

like the newtown man

6:03 pm

joso

the newtown man had previous gun incidents in his history

6:03 pm

mab

it would be surpassing cruel to 'put away' severely ill people just because they are ill.

6:03 pm

mab

known only to his mother

6:04 pm

joso

and the va

6:04 pm

mab

anyway, the point is that there is no way to predict who will kill.

6:05 pm

joso

if he got the care entitled to him from the va the whole thing may have been avoided

6:06 pm

MollyL

Mkg, I am disheartened by the Navy Yard shooting. Once again, lack of mental health causes tragedy and death.

6:06 pm

mkg

if someone has a history of violence and is known to be schizofrenic, then they are a potential harm to society. how are they different from someone caught selling drugs? both harm society. i say if someone is a potential harm to society he should have to be monitored to take his meds if he is free. period.

6:06 pm

mab

that's the ft collins man. i don't think they knew he was sick. anyway, it's not the underlying point

6:07 pm

MollyL

The Navy Yard shooter had a history of mental health problems.

6:07 pm

mab

people don't choose to be schizophrenic

6:07 pm

mkg

lets get more mental health coverage at high rates (80%) and it will at least help. now it is 60% coverage for mental illness and 80% for other disease. when will we realize that mental illness is a threat to society sometimes?

6:08 pm

mkg

mab i know they dont choose it. but i have two cousins with the disease and both were verified not to be a threat or harm to society. this can be documented by psychiatrists and then they are free to do what they wish.

6:09 pm

mab

that makes more sense, mkg, and would be the compassionate thing to do if managed properly.

6:09 pm

MollyL

We have a nation of psychologists and psychiatrists closing their practices because insurance regulations will not let them treat people the way they should be treated.

6:09 pm

mab

most states commit people known to be a danger to self or others

6:09 pm

mkg

you cant tell me that the navy shrinks didnt know of this mans issues with guns and violence. they just chose not to state unequivically that he was a potential threat to society. used to be that then they were held so they took meds and did better.

6:10 pm

puglet

I take care of my sister, she has schizophrenic and I have to monitor her daily on taking meds because they lose track of time

6:10 pm

mab

45 states have laws that make outpatient med compliance mandatory

6:10 pm

mkg

the question is: is our society too free? is there such a thing as so much freedom that the society pays for this?

6:10 pm

mkg

mab there is no way this is really monitored.

6:10 pm

MollyL

Oh no, most States don't. There is a huge population of homeless, mentally ill people because the States will not get into the mix.

6:11 pm

mkg

so why wasnt this man committed if the shrinks knew of his arrests etc?

6:11 pm

mab

oh, yes there is. and bless you puglet.

6:11 pm

joso

the navy shrinks never spoke to him, he had applied for care but it hadn't been processed yet, so i suppose me saying the va knew is false.

6:12 pm

mkg

our nation as a whole is so passive that the entire population is at risk! foster care isnt monitored. kids who are abused often are put back into their homes without proof that it wont happen again. the list goes on and on. it is a shame. a real shame.

6:12 pm

MollyL

Laws in place vs. laws enforced are two totally different things. If this country had adequate mental health care and legislation, we would not be dealing with shooting after shooting.

6:12 pm

mab

i think you need to check your facts. and i would have a hard time accepting a less free country in terms of who is in and who is out

6:12 pm

mkg

the beaurocracy is too complex so that many things fall through cracks. sad sad sad.

6:12 pm

mab

gun laws, stand your ground laws?

6:13 pm

mkg

my swedish au pairs said no one is homeless in sweden. if they are mentally ill and cant take care of themselves they are put into homes which care for them. i dont know which way is right..............very difficult.

6:14 pm

even without guns a mentally ill person can murder with knives. not that i dont feel we must have tighter controls...

6:15 pm

hi min

6:16 pm

mkg

a mentally ill 16 year old murdered his neighbors with knives and was freed on bail 6 years later. with no one to monitor meds after 12 months of compliance. when his shrink in prison was asked if he would be capable of murder again if he went off meds the shrink said yes. it is sad. sad sad.

6:17 pm

mkg

i am all for freedom for every mentally ill person who is not a societal risk. but for those who are a danger i am for not giving them their freedom. thats all. in newtown i believe no one knew the kid was ill. that was a different story but this guy was known. that is what i find so sad. thats all. and maybe i am wrong that he was missed. maybe there was no way to see this coming.

6:17 pm

mkg

oh well. sorry to bother everyone.

6:19 pm

You didn't bother me, mkg. It's nice to be able to have an adult conversation here before someone shuts it down.

6:21 pm

unfortunately there is no way to 100% insure there arent injustices done no matter what. but we do need better mental health care. that is my opinion. world wide it would be great to have more shrinks.

As reported by Jonathan Metzl in The Lancet (â€œWhy are the Mentally Ill Still Bearing Arms?â€, Volume 377, Issue 9784, Pages 2172 - 2173, 25 June 2011), â€œAccording to Columbia University psychiatrist Paul Appelbaum, less than 3-5 percent of American crimes involve people with mental illness, and the percentages of these crimes that involve guns are actually lower than the national average â€” particularly when alcohol and drugs are taken out of the mix.â€

Mental disorders are common in the United States and internationally. An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older â€” about one in four adults â€” suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year.1 When applied to the 2004 U.S. Census residential population estimate for ages 18 and older, this figure translates to 57.7 million people.2 Even though mental disorders are widespread in the population, the main burden of illness is concentrated in a much smaller proportion â€” about 6 percent, or 1 in 17 â€” who suffer from a serious mental illness.1 In addition, mental disorders are the leading cause of disability in the U.S. and Canada.3 Many people suffer from more than one mental disorder at a given time. Nearly half (45 percent) of those with any mental disorder meet criteria for 2 or more disorders, with severity strongly related to comorbidity.1

6:39 pm

o-o

Whether it is 26.2 percent or a core 6 percent, those with mental disorders do not account for a higher percentage of violent acts ... what is being done about the other 95 percent?

As I pointed out the other day, the US has five percent of the world's population and 25 percent of the incarcerated. Yet, the gun violence goes on and on.

6:40 pm

Kaplan the Magne

What is and isn't considered a mental disorder is socially adjustable and also defined by the medical establishment and the insurance companies. There are spectrum disorders, and the lines drawn to qualify as a disorder are subject to change. They are not fixed, and there is also cultural determinism.

My congressional delegation says the solution is to keep guns out of the hands of the irresponsible, including those with mental disorders. Good idea. Then the delegation votes against any measure the deals with gun control. They prize guns because it means votes ... so guns are more important than lives.

Hello Book Doctor Gwen!How are you?Welcome to the grid

7:47 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hi there min, i'm hangin' in there, you?

7:50 pm

MollyL

Nice tribute to Jean Stapleton by Rob Reiner.

7:52 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

where's that, facebook?

7:53 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

nbt, woot

7:53 pm

MollyL

No, on the Emmy Awards.

7:54 pm

phandmd

may I have a clue for the 8/9 I assume pair?

7:54 pm

Minveryork

he 8/60 word is he 4/6 word plus the ga 4/6 word & plural

7:54 pm

wht

Opposite of what you do before a football game?

7:54 pm

phandmd

I think it might include the he 4/6 but can't figure the rest if it does

7:55 pm

phandmd

oh! got it!

7:55 pm

phandmd

so proud of myself!

7:55 pm

Minveryork

I'm well Book Doctor Gwen.Got jury duty tomorrow though

7:56 pm

MollyL

See, you didn't need a clue after all. Ask and ye shall receive is Biblical. Ask and ye shall find it before someone can clue it is Babblical.

7:56 pm

phandmd

so true, Molly!

7:56 pm

tabbycat

Can someone clue the o in the bottom of the first column, please?

7:56 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ty, new word on me

7:57 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

that o is os4

7:57 pm

wht

It is a plurar, tabby.

7:57 pm

wht

A common babblet

7:57 pm

wht

or plural.

7:57 pm

phandmd

which court, Min, (as in Circut, or federal)

7:57 pm

Minveryork

os 4/4 word is os plus 80s band the **scape Club tabbycat.

7:57 pm

MollyL

New song by Elton John, Ru. A tribute to Liberace, "Home Again".

7:57 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i had jury duty about a year ago. got as far as elimination round 1, when i got eliminated LOL

7:58 pm

Minveryork

Don't know,maybe circuit. It is a small case. Won't la4 long

7:58 pm

phandmd

I sat on a personal injury appeal case.

7:58 pm

wht

Min, I have been called a number of times. One time I was selected for a civil trial. It was a fascinating experience.

7:58 pm

tabbycat

Duh...thanks

7:59 pm

Minveryork

It is the NY State Unified Court system whatever th4 means

7:59 pm

phandmd

al 6?

7:59 pm

wht

When I was called, it was a Friday in August. I figured there was no way a trial was going to be starting that day. Trial lasted two weeks.

8:00 pm

phandmd

was it an interesting case at least?

8:00 pm

Minveryork

I would rather be at work than at jury duty. The only good thing about jury duty is th4 I don't have to do the commute

8:01 pm

Minveryork

The la4 time I did jury it was an age discrimination case. It eventually got thrown out court and didn't la 4/4 too long.

8:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hunting for al 6, nothing so far

8:02 pm

wht

It was very interesting. Basically the president of one company left to start his own company and the owner sued over a number of bogus reasons, we presumed to punish him for his disloyalty.

8:03 pm

wht

But the lawyers on both sides were top-notch.

8:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

found the al 6 : al + definite article + vowel (the whole is a girls' name, not common thought)

8:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

and plural that

8:04 pm

wht

And you could tell that there was a lot of history, including a separate case in Federal court that turned out to be on copyright issues. But as members of the jury, we get a very circumscribed view of what is going on outside of the specific issues put before us.

8:05 pm

Minveryork

Ok,Babble jurors,should we sent wht over to th4/4 PB now

8:05 pm

Minveryork

*send

8:06 pm

welki

hi, folks

8:06 pm

Minveryork

Ok,Babble jurors,should we sent wht over to th4/5 PB now

8:06 pm

Minveryork

Hello welki! How are you doing today? Welcome to the log

8:06 pm

wht

But I was pleasantly surprised at how well the process works. It really is a good idea to present the evidence to 12 everyday people and let them hash it out.

8:07 pm

welki

doing well, thanks. how are you doing, min? settled into the new school year?

8:07 pm

Minveryork

wht, maybe you should ha 4/6 out your word list in the PB.

8:07 pm

wht

What goodies are in the PB today, Min. I might go voluntarily.

8:07 pm

welki

nice to read that the system works the way it's supposed to, wht

8:08 pm

Minveryork

Just as I am getting settled I get interrupted with jury duty

8:08 pm

Minveryork

Who knows!There might be some ha4/6 if you are into th4 kind of stuff.

8:09 pm

welki

inconvenient, i'm sure

8:09 pm

Minveryork

I'm going to take an Emmy Award break.I will see you later

8:09 pm

MollyL

Ew Min, ha4/6 is not a goodie.

8:10 pm

Minveryork

Never touched it in my life!

8:10 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

unless ya smokes it

8:10 pm

welki

corned beef ha4 - that's what she meant :)

8:10 pm

MollyL

*Puts apple pie in the PB for Wht*

8:11 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i believe you can smoke that, too lol

8:11 pm

Minveryork

Th 4/5's what I meant, corned beef & ha4/6! Thanks welki

8:12 pm

wht

Thanks Molly. Way better than ha4

8:13 pm

welki

neighbor made a pumpkin roll for dessert last night and made an extra for us - time for a real goodie :)

8:13 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

or you can marinade it in a white wine sauce and then fry it!

8:13 pm

MollyL

*Turns on fan to blow Gwens ha4 smoke out of the chat log*

8:14 pm

wht

That smoke from my fireworks.

8:14 pm

MollyL

Wow, Breaking Bad loses the writing award to Homeland.

8:14 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

woo hoo wht !!!!!!!!

8:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(i thought you had fireworks, no?)

8:20 pm

rururocks

*so much for Breaking bad sweeps* :D

8:20 pm

wht

I did. thanks.

8:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i opened the list and now finding a lot of --ed words i missed

8:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well, then, woo hoo again wht !!!!!!

8:25 pm

MollyL

Well, Anna Gunn won for best supporting actress in a drama (Breaking Bad) so we will so how the rest goes. Now suffering through Neil Patrick Harris doing song and dance. *Gag*

8:25 pm

phandmd

Gwen, thank you for the AL 6 clue awhile back. I got distracted and when I came back remembered I had asked and scrolled back, glad it was still on the screen!

8:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

grrrrrr

8:26 pm

wvteach

** finito ** last word HE 4/6 - BNabble-blinbd to this word

8:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

wtg wv !!!!!!

8:26 pm

rururocks

why do they do those dumb song and dance stuff with people who can't sing and can't dance

8:27 pm

phandmd

WHT, that does sound like an interesting case.

8:28 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no comment

8:29 pm

MollyL

I don't know and this was the dumbest of the dumb song and dance bits.

8:30 pm

wht

It was. I enjoyed it. Of course, once it was over, all the jurors started Googling the case to find out the back story.

8:30 pm

MollyL

Name: This Is The Number In The Middle Of The Shoooowwww!!!!

8:31 pm

MollyL

Not kidding

8:31 pm

wht

The hardest part of being on the jury is that you cannot talk about the case, even with other jurors, before the deliberations begin.

8:31 pm

phandmd

in hindsight, did you like your decision?

8:31 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

sounds like someone did not get the joke . . . 8-)

8:32 pm

wht

Yes I did. Except that we would have awarded more damages if we knew more about the principals.

8:32 pm

phandmd

well, that is satisfying then!

8:33 pm

MollyL

"Not getting the joke" is a registration requirement here.

8:33 pm

phandmd

Oh boy, we just started Breaking Bad. wonder what is instore for tonight.

8:33 pm

wht

The one thing I was never able to find out was if he ever had to pay up. I figured that with the bad blood between the parties, the decision was likely to be appealed.

8:34 pm

phandmd

no doubt

8:34 pm

welki

there are libraries you can check to see if the decision was appealed, wht

8:34 pm

welki

probably an online database

8:36 pm

wht

But that would require me to remember the name of the case, and this was a number of years ago.

8:37 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

fireworks!!

8:37 pm

welki

not really - if you remember the appellate court it would have been heard it, you can probably do a boolean search, if you remember partial names, dates, etc

8:39 pm

wht

Perhaps, welki, but I am willing to live with some mystery in my life. :^)

8:39 pm

welki

interesting, but not that interested *lol*

8:40 pm

welki

that doesn't read the way i would have said it, wht - what i meant is that the case held your interest, but not enough to pursue it further

8:41 pm

wht

I think you are right on both counts.

8:44 pm

wht

Well good night all.

8:48 pm

MollyL

*Snoozing through Carrie Underwood and her rendition of The Beatles "Yesterday" *

8:49 pm

pida 1

Nite wht, Hi everyone

8:49 pm

MollyL

Meanwhile, definitely no sweep for Breaking Bad. Best Actor: Jeff Daniels, Best Supporting Actor: Some guy from Boardwalk Empire.

8:50 pm

joso

it's awful when a great song gets butchered

8:50 pm

MollyL

Bobby Cannavale from Boardwalk Empire.

9:02 pm

phandmd

al 5/12?

9:04 pm

lbdawger

al*** the dinner was good, dessert was excellent.

9:04 pm

MollyL

Stupid spelling of al8 I would like to give you a clue, I think you can figure it out yourself.

9:05 pm

phandmd

ha! I often use that spelling in my informal writing, Molly! I should be slapped to have not found it on my own.

9:06 pm

MollyL

Bless you Phan. As a writer, informal writing gives me the eebie geebies.

9:07 pm

phandmd

I bet!

9:13 pm

Good Evening Everyone. How are you all tonight?

9:22 pm

JenMO16

9:22 pm

Nef

It looks like we're the only non-lurkers right now, Jen. How are you doing lately?

9:22 pm

Nef

(sorry I'm a bit slow tonight; long day.

9:22 pm

JenMO16

working on the farm in Farmville!

9:23 pm

Nef

oh-oh. I found that FB games are WAY too time consuming several years ago; so the only thing I play there is Words with Friends

9:24 pm

JenMO16

this game can be time consuming

9:24 pm

Nef

it must be because people are always doing it.

9:27 pm

phandmd

de 5 /14?

9:29 pm

JenMO16

do you have de6/24?

9:29 pm

phandmd

9:30 pm

phandmd

oh, I need the one after that. Sorry

9:30 pm

JenMO16

that's okay, it's the only one I have

9:31 pm

phandmd

thanks anyway.

9:33 pm

Nef

Sorry, I don't have either of the de words since I've just started; and I'm doing poor in chat too since I'm buried in the grid

9:34 pm

toadandtoadette

Ugh. Hitting a brick wall at 119

9:35 pm

Nef

just found a de 5/6 combo, means "after life" and pl

9:35 pm

JenMO16

9:35 pm

JenMO16

dang, you beat me to it

9:36 pm

cgypsy

hi all....de6/21 the opposite of pepper

9:36 pm

Nef

LOL, Jen; typical Babble timing, wasn't it?

9:37 pm

JenMO16

thanks, cgypsy!

9:37 pm

cgypsy

yw

9:38 pm

Nef

could either of you tell me HOW one de6s anything? I'm a bad cook and never found a way to do that

9:39 pm

cgypsy

9:39 pm

toadandtoadette

Start over and don't make the mistake the second time?

9:39 pm

toadandtoadette

:)

9:40 pm

Nef

Great answer, T & T

9:40 pm

toadandtoadette

Or toss it out and order pizza

9:40 pm

cgypsy

there you go....better yet!

9:40 pm

Nef

LOL! I like that one better! :-D

9:40 pm

cgypsy

:))

9:42 pm

toadandtoadette

My usual fix is to tell hubby he can try. Lol. Funny thing in our household. We are both pretty good at following a recipe. But he does better cooking while I do better baking.

9:43 pm

Nef

About the only thing I ever bake is angel food cake (from a box mix) for a birthday. DH does all the baking and we both do the cooking

9:44 pm

JenMO16

de6/21 has to do with seawater

9:45 pm

JenMO16

I guess taking it out of seawater?

9:46 pm

rururocks

de 6 goes with depepper

9:46 pm

Nef

now that would make sense, Jen. That's something I didn't think of (and didn't look up the definition either) <blush>

9:47 pm

Nef

hi ruru

9:47 pm

cgypsy

lol

9:47 pm

JenMO16

I looked it up, hi Nef!

9:48 pm

cgypsy

personally I use de sa4 to put out little itty bitty kitchen fires...

9:49 pm

cgypsy

my cooking skills are iffy at best

9:52 pm

Nef

I've never started a fire in the kitchen (yet!) but I once forgot some boiling eggs on the stove and melted the pan (and the egg remnants ended up on the ceiling).

9:53 pm

toadandtoadette

Ok. 131/222... I'm call it a victory I made it this far.. and without lickety, I generally only use his list if I'm at my pc not on my tablet.
