Lizlin

Still waiting ...

1:19 am

Lizlin

Lizlin

Or reassuring her after the icon comment!

1:19 am

rururocks

LOL

1:20 am

Lizlin

Nah! She'd be laughing!

1:20 am

rururocks

maybe he brought out the whipped cream and she didn't know what to do

1:27 am

rururocks

french bistro.. delicious

1:28 am

rururocks

grannyrose

mmmmm, yum...

1:28 am

rururocks

I took Doren there once and she loved it

1:29 am

grannyrose

i love food...period.... except for this penchant for chili flakes in everything.

1:30 am

rururocks

I can't do chili flakes.. but I love spicy food

1:30 am

grannyrose

so do i ruru, but chilli....not happening....

1:31 am

1:32 am

rururocks

1:32 am

rururocks

I don't smoke cigars :D

1:32 am

grannyrose

don and i tried a new indian restaurant, called 'foodies'. food was delish and plentiful. i asked the waitress to ask the chef if he could please hold the chilli flakes. but oh, no, out the food came...so loaded, i drank about 3 pints of iced water

1:33 am

rururocks

oh.. i'd hate that.. couldn't do it ..in my younger days I loved mexican food and hunan chinese food the hotter the better

1:33 am

grannyrose

ruru, my lips swell, and i break out in a most unbecoming sweat. i hate it.

1:35 am

rururocks

people pay a lot of money in LA to have their lips swell granny :D

1:35 am

grannyrose

our local indian restaurant knows us quite well. i don't even have to ask anymore. they saw me once after a dish with chilli in it...wasn't great advertising for their food...lol

1:36 am

rururocks

that's really pretty rude to ignore a customer's request like that

1:36 am

grannyrose

*shrug* no big deal, we just won't go back.

1:38 am

rururocks

going to toddle off to read.. see you at the flip tomorrow

1:38 am

5:49 am

lynxxx

I'm not really concentrating but obviously haven't seen those yet

5:50 am

6:04 am

crosshair

good morning everyone:)

6:04 am

sprite

hiya crossy *hugs*

6:04 am

lynxxx

hi Cross

6:05 am

crosshair

((sprite))) lynxx:))

6:06 am

lynxxx

Hey Cross - I was listening to an interview with a female Canadian army officer on the radio just before. I think she was french speaking as her 1st language. She constantly pronounced WARY as WEARY. Is that a Canadian thing?

6:07 am

crosshair

no,i think as you said this is a result of english being her second language and not her first i say wary

6:10 am

crosshair

as it so happens, we have a lot of french canadian army perssonel near me at CFB Borden

6:11 am

lynxxx

thanks - she said it so often but everything else she said was fine. Pretty strong woman - talking about how women are treated in the Canadian army incl Afganistan. Canada seems to have it sorted out OK unlike stories you hear of women in US army

6:11 am

lynxxx

...and women in the forces in Australia I must add!

6:11 am

crosshair

i am sure there are still some problems out there but we seem to be growing out of them as we do indeed have some very strong and capable ladies in high millitary positions

6:13 am

crosshair

our last gov general i believe was adrienne a french canadian female if i am not mistaken but i think there is a new one,also a lady of power but i cannot rember her name

6:14 am

crosshair

sex matters not since as we see the ladies do an admirable job in the seat

6:16 am

lynxxx

pity not everyone sees it that way here

6:16 am

crosshair

ahh just checked,we had Adrienne Clarkson and now we have david johnson

6:17 am

sprite

david sounds like a very strong female

6:18 am

crosshair

like i said,sprite,this one is new and i was unsure who came after adrienne

6:19 am

sprite

just pulling your leg, crossy

6:19 am

6:21 am

crosshair

i am just starting to discover that :((

6:22 am

lynxxx

I am only half way and stumped (plus a tummy of good food and wee bit of wine doesn't help much). I'll finish later or in the morning. Bye to you both - have a good day

6:22 am

crosshair

you have a good rest,lynxx

6:23 am

sprite

bye lyn, have a peaceful night and a a lovely day

it went pretty ok, joso. I have demanded some room and time for how incredibly angry I was with Tim for ruining everything, and they took it seriously. Even Tim. We have formulated some shared goals. And Tim has agreed to some basic behaviour rules. So far, he is doing what he promised.

6:56 am

((crossy)) We have a place here called "Half-price Books" that also has DVDs and CDs and I can wander in there almost endlessly. As stated, the prices are really good and it's one those places that will pay you a little for books you want to sell. Just LOVE that place...and I HATE to shop, too!

7:16 am

MimiCat

Hello, everyone!

7:16 am

crosshair

lol.i can lose 4 hours wandering down book stuffed narrow asiles in out of the way used book stores

7:17 am

MimiCat

We also have Zia which is mostly music and movies but is rather like a 60's "head shop." Love that place, too.

7:18 am

MimiCat

I had no money for so long that I still haven't quite realized I can actually go to these places and buy something now!

7:19 am

crosshair

lol.we have a new head shop downtown.have not been there yet but i tell you will not be long before instead of gulping the chemical cocktails i get from my dr.i will try for natural medicine that seems overall to be good for many issues but with less side affects

7:20 am

crosshair

oh! did your disability issues get fixed with the govt?

7:21 am

MimiCat

We're on the same wavelength, crossy. I've been seriously looking into natural remedies myself as the medications the cardiologist wants me to take make me sick and dizzy. I've slowed stopped taking them and now just take aspirin but am planning to add vitamins and herbs.

7:22 am

crosshair

always remember though,mimi,to keep your doctor well informed on any alternative meds you may be taking

7:22 am

MimiCat

Still waiting for a court date, crossy...should be sometime around March. That's why I keep saying I'll visit early next year and, maybe, be moving if the lawsuit settles in my favor.

we've had no hard frost for two years and therefore,mosquitoes, for the first time

8:04 am

rubyfoo

ahh, half

8:04 am

crosshair

last winter,it ended a full month and a half early and what happened as a result was that we had two full cycles of mosquito hatching instead of the usual one

8:05 am

it is certainly changing -- and very fast!

yes,ruby. it is causing severe problems in our northern communities

8:18 am

rubyfoo

I wontinue to wear fur. One time I was in NY (on a biz trip from Miami) and someone started yelling at me and I said, with my best \ny accent, "yeah, it's dawg, you gonna do something about it?"

8:19 am

crosshair

when someone inherits one here perhaps their mum bought it in the 40s or 50,s it can be surprisingly hard to get rid of,but we found there are a few people around who take the old mink coats and stoles and repurpose the fur and make teddy bears for children out of them

8:20 am

crosshair

our very own carlee has a friend who does just that.they are beautiful teddy bears

8:20 am

rubyfoo

I am unapologetic and warm!

8:21 am

I can understand not wearing animal fur if you have issues with that. I don't understand harassing other people who do choose to wear it though.

8:21 am

rubyfoo

I once had a skunk coat, from the 30;s I think bought at the Salvation Army, which gave up its true provenance whenit got wet

the grid is small and gnarly

11:28 am

stidmama

Well, we have some interior walls framed in now. Took pics, but it tends at this stage to look like a forest of splinters. :-) I am told we'll get the trusses up in about a week, and then the roof goes on immediately, and they start finishing the inside. (thanks for asking) I am pretty excited to see what it will feel like to have a home again!

11:30 am

joso

so it's feeling like a house to be now. you can walk through and see where the walls, windows and doors will be.

yes, and that is a good feeling. A couple things I need to remind the builders, like making sure the master bath walls are properly put together for grab bars everywhere -- I won't put them in right away, but I really don't want to have to remove tilework and such later!

11:33 am

stidmama

last night, we went to the symphony and heard an amazing cellist -- Pavel Gomziakov. If you ever have the chance to hear him play in person, do. His music was magical.

11:36 am

stidmama

how are you, joso? Is it getting cold up north yet?

11:37 am

joso

glad you enjoyed, not much of a classical music sort myself.

11:39 am

joso

jacket weather, not truly cold yet, some trees still holding on to their leaves, others naked.

11:40 am

joso

what i think of as crisp days, but lots cooler at night.

11:40 am

stidmama

It's very jacket weather here still -- after such a wet, cold September I was expecting snow already! Which would be very early for us... but seems we never know now. I just hope the worst holds off now until the roof is on and the exterior is painted. :-) I don't mind crisp days and cool nights as long as it's dry.

11:42 am

stidmama

well, I am past halfway, but cannot figure out the T on the far right. How fishy is it? Should I just list?

11:43 am

joso

very fishy, ta6. would you like a clue?

11:45 am

ChrissieDee

Your clue at 10.11 was a doozy joso :)

11:45 am

zoozzoom

Bulgarian appertizer.

11:45 am

tyvm chrissy

11:46 am

ChrissieDee

Hi zooz, you got the storms yet?

11:47 am

Erda

stidmama -- did Muti conduct?

11:47 am

zoozzoom

It is getting rather windy..but not too bad...have batten down the hatches ready...and have also got candles ready..incase of power cuts. How about you?

11:48 am

ChrissieDee

I'm hoping we are just about far enough north to miss the worst, but it has started raining and the winds are getting up

11:49 am

joso

here is an obscure clue, ta6 has the same cadence as a yellow fruit sometimes used for rude gestures.

11:50 am

zoozzoom

Hope you miss it..it is supposed to be going over the top of here.

11:50 am

ChrissieDee

.....going to look up cadence.....

11:50 am

stidmama

thanks joso, was called away briefly. The conductor, Erda was an amazing (and VERY tall) young man Alastair Willis. HE was incredible, and I think in another ten years or so will be a virtuoso as well.

11:50 am

joso

rhythm

11:51 am

Erda

I'll try to remember the name -- thanks, stidmama

11:51 am

ChrissieDee

Yes. My daughter's up from Guilford for the weekend. She's not going till tomorrow night so it should be over by then.

11:51 am

zoozzoom

Or ta + don't make a d*** out of a crisis.

11:51 am

stidmama

oooh. got the clue on the cadence!

11:52 am

zoozzoom

I hope so, Chrissie :-)

11:53 am

stidmama

okay, time to grade papers. I played all day yesterday and have papers, a lesson to plan (for the whole team, of course not yet done) for tomorrow.... see you-all again later! stay safe.

2:54 pm

BzznBea

This little grid is a bugger!

2:55 pm

MollyL

Or louvre, as in I Mona Lisa love your icon. I haven't figured out when it became unpopular to say "love" and is not popular to say "lurve" or "love me some".

2:55 pm

I need help with 7's pls. I only have re7. I know there is a ce7, la7 and no7 but I do not see them.

3:03 pm

rururocks

after losing to the Colts.. Denver is going to blow out Washington

3:05 pm

MollyL

no7 is one who pays attention to things.

3:05 pm

MollyL

With the way Denver is scoring, I predict Denver - 103, Washington - 21.

3:06 pm

BzznBea

I'm biting my nails until the end of the Chief's game...

3:08 pm

sheesh, ty Molls. and I already had the no6/21 too :(

3:13 pm

phandmd

Molly, I am trying to be more hopeful than that!

3:13 pm

MollyL

Poor Lou Reed. It took the internet all afternoon to figure out if he was dead or not. Alas, dead. Another rock legend goes to the big show.

3:14 pm

MollyL

Phan, this is a conflicting game for me as I am both a Washington and a Denver fan.

3:14 pm

And the colored girls go doot di doot di doot....

3:19 pm

rururocks

it kind of struck a chord in me somehow

3:19 pm

The intro to Sweet Jane from Rock And Roll Animal is a guitar solo classic.

3:22 pm

jmcnrick

tired from long hours of boring but tolerably paid work. . .

3:22 pm

It's a damn shame that very few play the guitar like Lou Reed anymore. The up and coming generation of musicians is nothing to write home about.

3:22 pm

BzznBea

I agree with that in general Molly

3:23 pm

3:24 pm

There are exceptions to what I just said, but very few. Jonnny Lang for one.

If you want to hear another killer guitar solo, check out Jonny Lang's in the middle of his cover of Living For The City.

3:26 pm

rururocks

Oops, baseball

BzznBea

There is still a lot of game to be played.

3:47 pm

Anniebrook

Not this year, Molly. When I worked we always had a baseball pool. I have to confess I know nothing about football except that they are trying to kill each other.

3:47 pm

I will be surprised if this Series doesn't go 7 games.

Why afraid, Molly?

Afraid I will spend a bunch of money on stuff we don't need.

Good Afternoon Everybody. How are you all on this fine sunny day?

Their olive oil is one. They also have an herbal tea we like. Love their orzo and of course their cookie butter when I can get it.

4:07 pm

Nef

hi joso

4:07 pm

4:08 pm

Cookie butter is magic.

hello all....how is the grid?

4:09 pm

joso

yea molly, that is exactly what I meant, scheesh

4:09 pm

joso

hi jilly, grid is small and very gnarly

4:09 pm

MollyL

Okay, I just looked it up. See that is something I would want to buy, but it's not in the budget. Sounds divine.

4:09 pm

Nef

My spell check always "corrects" joso's name, so I thought he was just saying hi to me, not calling me names. ;-)

4:09 pm

Jillyjill

Seeing that already....oh well...*splash*

4:10 pm

MollyL

Chill people, it was a joke.

4:10 pm

BzznBea

It is the consistency of peanut butter but it has no nut butter in it. Tastes like a snickerdoodly gingersnapy graham cracker.

4:10 pm

Nef

NP, Molly. I wasn't offended by anyone's remarks.

4:10 pm

MollyL

Bea : D I love that explanation.

4:11 pm

MollyL

And I didn't think you were Nef. Like I said, it was a joke.

4:11 pm

BzznBea

I put a spoon of it in my steel cut oats...Best oats ever!

4:12 pm

MollyL

Snickerdoodly, gingersnappy, graham crackery oats.

4:12 pm

Nef

Re: Trader Joe's; they just built and opened one directly across the street from a Super Target here which is dirctly across another street from a nice Cub Food Store. SO in less than 2 blocks we have 3 different full grocery stores and I don't understand why.

4:12 pm

BzznBea

They didn't have the cookie butter or chunky cookie butter this time. I had to settle for cookes and cocoa swirl.

4:13 pm

BzznBea

Unfortunate because now I'll want that too.

4:14 pm

joso

like those intersections with a gas station on every corner

4:14 pm

Nef

(And all 3 are about 1 1/2 miles from our house; kind of nice but this could be dangerous too I think; especially when DH decides to go shopping alone)

4:14 pm

4:15 pm

sort of, joso, but they're in the middle of the blocks (Super Target takes up a whole block)

4:16 pm

BzznBea

Have no idea about Cub Food, Nef, but I know most Super Tragets have limited products.

4:16 pm

phandmd

Ima gonna bring some hot toddy with me.

4:16 pm

Jillyjill

Places Dove chocolates in PB for phan

4:16 pm

And Traders is a specialty store so I can see the three in close proximity.

4:16 pm

phandmd

4:16 pm

Jillyjill

4:17 pm

And TJ's only sells thier name brand items.

4:17 pm

MollyL

WooTy has CHOCOLATES???

4:17 pm

Jillyjill

absolutely! TY phan

4:17 pm

Nef

We have Target stores, Target Greatland (which has a wider variety but limited groceries) and the Target Superstores (which have a huge selection of foods and groceries).

4:18 pm

joso

A great supermarket opened up near me lately, they aim their service at the immigrant market, lots of interesting foods from all over the world.

4:18 pm

MollyL

Obviously not a lemon water and celery type day. Bravo.

4:18 pm

Jillyjill

;P

4:18 pm

BzznBea

Funny, the SuperTargets I have been in have a small selection of groceries.

4:20 pm

phandmd

is not common the first RA 4 or 2nd?

4:20 pm

Nef

Target was a division of the Daytons companies here in MN. So I think we are the home town area and this was once a Target Greatland store but expanded to add the whole grocery area.

4:20 pm

BzznBea

second ra

4:20 pm

4:25 pm

All we have is Target discount stores. None of the grocery ones.

We have nothing in our town because a couple of supermarkets. I have to drive everywhere. Such a drag

4:28 pm

MollyL

ra4

4:29 pm

Nef

I think the Superstores are like 50-60% larger than the Greatland ones, (which of course are lots larger than the regular ones). There are all 3 types here in the Cities.

4:29 pm

BzznBea

We only have Food Lion grocery stores in our town. If I want anything "fancy" I have to go to Raleigh.

4:29 pm

Jillyjill

whoops...have that, looking for the T above it...dang bifocals...

4:30 pm

4:30 pm

Yeah, blame it on the glasses. Your fingers are all slippery from Dove.

4:30 pm

Have to drive 20-30 minutes to get to Costco or BJ's. Trader Joe's is far too. Also Whole Foods

4:30 pm

4:31 pm

BzznBea

I'm probably wrong, jilly.

MollyL

Only one tr4

4:32 pm

Jillyjill

just pulled up molly/volley list...only 1 tr. But thank you anyway.

4:32 pm

Nef

I'm not much of a shopper myself

4:32 pm

MollyL

Both my grocery stores are within walking distance. I would not like a drive that far to the food store.

4:32 pm

bichon

Well done Ph

5:00 pm

Soodle

You know what? I'm fed up of being ostracised on Babble. To the best of my knowledge I did nothing wrong. I'm going to call it a day on here.

5:00 pm

phandmd

loving they way the 1st half of skins vs, broncs ended!

5:01 pm

phandmd

What's going on Soodle?

5:01 pm

MollyL

Whoa, not getting the whole ostracized thing. Yes Phan, interesting game.

5:03 pm

phandmd

liking the way the 2nd half has started...

5:03 pm

MollyL

As you can tell from my earlier comment, I am pleasantly surprised.

5:03 pm

phandmd

It's definitely a defensive game!

5:04 pm

phandmd

I will have to scroll back to see that

5:04 pm

MollyL

Which is why I am so surprised. Where did this defense come from? (Not complaining)

5:04 pm

phandmd

oh, did you mean the intersting game comment?

5:05 pm

phandmd

SAWEET!

5:05 pm

MollyL

No, I predicted a score of Denver: 103, Washington: 21

5:09 pm

phandmd

yes, I don't think that prediction will come true...

5:11 pm

MollyL

I think I am watching alternate reality football. WOW

5:12 pm

5:14 pm

phandmd

Thanks for the help, Molly. I didn't like stooked, but like you said, I am quite jazzed!

5:15 pm

licketySplitAUS

Sorry for the missed day's - didn't notice my computer was frozen and I had a busy weekend, out bush fire fighting again.

5:16 pm

phandmd

Well, that is a pretty darn good reason to have missed, Lickety...

5:16 pm

You're our hero, Lickety : D

5:21 pm

phandmd

true story

5:21 pm

Soodle

Stress levels a tad high right now PH. But normal service will resume before too long. Thanks for asking ((())))

5:23 pm

phandmd

I can relate to stress levels being high. Mine are high too. Lot's going on with new job and family. Gotta just try to take one day (or moment) at a time.

5:26 pm

Soodle

Ph, the longer I live, the more I appreciate that everybody is fighting a battle. Every single person has their own difficulties. All we can do is cheer our friends on as they try to cope. (Sermon over)

5:27 pm

"amen. darn stress can be horrid

5:28 pm

'lurking" and reading....horrors... a deadly sin I know but just chirping in. You have that so right, Soodle!

on a whole different tangent,i have had some tooth pain last few days and while i am waiting for an appt i have tried many things for pain relief.tylenol with codene,salt gargle,ambesol and other commercial topical numbing agents but the best thing i have working for me now is CLOVES!! yup. cloves.i made a mouth rinse with cloves and it kills bateria and has some natural numbing properties it seems

5:31 pm

dianedecoder

night, soodle

5:31 pm

crosshair

gn,soodles

5:32 pm

ChrissieDee

Bless you soodle. Have just popped in so will read back for an update.

5:32 pm

crossy, to this day, my hubby cannot abide anything with cloves in it.... you figure out the reason :-)

5:33 pm

dan2bit

firewords! tx all cluers. ta6/21 was my last, with the 3 A's

5:33 pm

MollyL

Well done 2Bit

5:36 pm

phandmd

That's interesting Crossy

5:37 pm

MollyL

Lots of good tips if you do a search on "cloves for toothache".

5:39 pm

ChampFit

Crossy...I had a horrible toothache last weekend, and with antiobiotics and pain meds, still had pain. Ice water seemed to help. I sipped the heck out of it! Root canal on Wednesday. I hope the cloves continue to work for you.

5:40 pm

crosshair

ty,champ.i know it is a stop gap measure at best but i forsee a lot of painfull, expensive dental work in my future

5:41 pm

MimiCat

Crossy, I've know about oil of cloves for years...yes, it does work. I have to do major dental work also soon...hate that.

5:42 pm

ChampFit

Mine was a very deep filling that was bound to go one day. The dentist numbed me, put in a medicated pad, filled over it, and referred me to the endodontist. It wasn't bad. Once he numbed me it was fine. Hopefully it will be for you too!

5:42 pm

MimiCat

Hey, what is it with this grid...we've got the rama and the lama but no ding dong!

5:43 pm

MimiCat

But, then I'm here, so....oh, no, that's ding-a-ling!

5:44 pm

crosshair

((mimi))

5:45 pm

MimiCat

((crossy)) Along with the cloves you can always drink lots of vodka...for medicinal purposes, of course.

5:46 pm

crosshair

drank it all last night.at one point i was gargling with raw vodla to try and ease things

5:46 pm

MimiCat

You might still be in pain but you won't care as much!

5:46 pm

crosshair

vodka

5:46 pm

crosshair

lol,indeed!

5:46 pm

crosshair

but alas my vodka allowance is done for this month

5:47 pm

crosshair

too much month left over at the end of the booze:(

5:47 pm

MimiCat

That's one of the saddest things I've ever heard, crossy...really.

5:49 pm

crosshair

one time i saved it all until the last 5 days of the month.worked well..i think..so they tell me..well i am sure it is all in the police reports anyways:))

5:50 pm

MimiCat

LOL and can too easily relate!

5:51 pm

MimiCat

In honor of the season I am now marathon watching the TV series "Supernatural." Not bad...scary. And that adorable Jard Padelecki from Gilmore Girls is in it...ah, yes, I remember guys like him...sigh.

5:52 pm

MimiCat

Meant Jared...

5:53 pm

rolotom

This grid is very tough. Blech.

5:53 pm

crosshair

agreed,this b---H has teeth.long sharp ones

5:54 pm

phandmd

and the tide has turned... sigh.

5:54 pm

MimiCat

No kidding...I went away for awhile and came back to see if it was any better than I thought...nope...still awful. Going away again. See you tomorrow. Hugs all around. Hang in there, crossy.

5:55 pm

tc,mimi

6:03 pm

6:19 pm

licketySplitAUS

http://bit.ly/1hlxZeO is a photo I took on Saturday night - when about to help with the fire containment

6:20 pm

MollyL

Wow, scary looking stuff.

6:21 pm

MollyL

You are a brave one, Lickety.

6:28 pm

phandmd

scary indeed!

6:28 pm

phandmd

I am heart broken

6:28 pm

MollyL

Phan, go back to folding clothes. It's just gotten worse.

6:28 pm

phandmd

I know. I saw. I am done folding clothes.

6:29 pm

MollyL

If I thought Washington had a clue as to how to pull off a Hail Mary and a last minute drive, I would remain hopeful. Alas, there is no joy in mudville.

6:30 pm

phandmd

well, that was an amazing interception by D. Hall.

6:30 pm

phandmd

there are too many scores needed for a miracle right now.

6:32 pm

MollyL

Oh, someone smarter than I am could rattle off how it's possible.

6:33 pm

Lizlin

Hi all :)

6:33 pm

MollyL

Hi Liz

6:33 pm

phandmd

They would need 3 scores and there is only 3 mins left

6:34 pm

Lizlin

Baseball? Football?

6:34 pm

phandmd

football

6:34 pm

Lizlin

Which teams?

6:34 pm

Lizlin

And who are you supporting?

6:35 pm

Lizlin

Full of questions this am!

6:35 pm

phandmd

Washington vs. Denver. I am a WAshington fan.

6:35 pm

Lizlin

And I guess the score's not gone your way :(

6:35 pm

MollyL

I am a Washington and a Denver fan, but my heart belongs to Washington.

6:35 pm

phandmd

now we would need 4 scores!

6:36 pm

Lizlin

Good luck!

6:36 pm

phandmd

oh, there is no luck to have

6:36 pm

MollyL

Hey, there is still over 2 minutes left. Denver could break 50 points again.

6:36 pm

phandmd

well, that certainly is possible!

6:37 pm

MollyL

Anything to keep Denver in contention with Kansas City (dodges flying frying pans from Bea)

6:37 pm

Lizlin

Better luck next time! Lots of points in one score. My soccer team won an amazing victory a couple of weeks ago with a goal in the final seconds of 4 minutes of injury time, so not impossible to win!

6:38 pm

Lizlin

My bro was in Washington and found a group of supporters to watch that match with - strange experience apparently!

6:38 pm

phandmd

fun!

6:39 pm

Lizlin

That's a UK team, of course.

6:40 pm

Hello sue

6:42 pm

uusue2

6:43 pm

uusue2

hi wv!

6:43 pm

Lizlin

That's really good news. Hope the next scan is just as good.

6:43 pm

uusue2

yes, we are certainly hoping that too!!

6:45 pm

phandmd

glad to hear the good news, sue. Praying you get more postive new in the future.

6:46 pm

uusue2

thanks, phan!

6:47 pm

MollyL

Excellent Sue. Your clan is long overdue for the good stuff. Hope it continues.

6:48 pm

uusue2

thanks, molly!

6:49 pm

Lizlin

Down to 5. What a struggle.

6:50 pm

uusue2

I am half way but still don't have nbt or nbs.

6:50 pm

Lizlin

Very happy to see lickety, when I logged on this am.

6:51 pm

uusue2

yes, I just switched to expert and expect to fill in a lot of blanks quickly

6:52 pm

Jillyjill

Whoo hoo!! LIckety....AND lizlin, uusue and molly :)

6:53 pm

Lizlin

I would like to encourage lickety to switch to macs! Then I could use expert!

6:53 pm

uusue2

hi jill!

6:53 pm

Lizlin

Hi Jilly. How was your trip to Vancouver?

6:54 pm

Jillyjill

Fabulous!!! Beautiful area, touching wedding, family fun and anniversary trip to Victoria wonderful!!

6:54 pm

Lizlin

Sounds wonderful. I loved Vancouver and Victoria.

6:54 pm

Lizlin

And of course, the wedding was the added bonus!

6:55 pm

Jillyjill

We had so much fun with my brother in law and his now spouse Kevin.

6:56 pm

Lizlin

That's awesome! I'm sure that fact that you were there also helped make their day special.

6:57 pm

Jillyjill

Hubby and me and one cousin and her hubby were the only family able to make it. Very low key wedding, very untraditional, but food and fun at the Vancouver Fairmont Hotel...what can I say...

6:58 pm

Lizlin

Isn't the Fairmont jaw-dropping?

6:58 pm

Lizlin

We stayed there - part of our posh trip!

6:58 pm

Lizlin

Fireworks!

6:59 pm

Jillyjill

We did the Empress in Victoria for one night. In Vancouver we stayed at theh Blue Horizon...good price, great rooms and location.

6:59 pm

Jillyjill

WooT WooT WooT lizlin!!

6:59 pm

Lizlin

Also stayed at the Empress! Loved it - once they changed our room. First room right above 8 noisy outside air conditioning units!

7:00 pm

Lizlin

Funny though, I guess because they're older hotels, internet reception was rubbish at both those hotels.

7:00 pm

Lizlin

Our only complaint!

7:00 pm

Lizlin

Is it too early to offer any clues to anyone?

7:01 pm

Jillyjill

Good time for us to go, there was a special on their Tea and Gardens package. Plus they did a free upgrade to a king room with a bay view

7:01 pm

Lizlin

Sounds lovely.

7:01 pm

Lizlin

Convenient to have a wedding then!

7:01 pm

Jillyjill

I have soup on, so here for just a few minutes, then to finish soup

7:01 pm

Jillyjill

Yes it was and the weather unseasonably warm and dry!!

7:02 pm

Lizlin

Love the icon! Funny!

7:02 pm

Lizlin

We had that sort of weather throughout our trip. No rain in the whole month. So lucky!

7:05 pm

MollyL

Apparently, Lickety has been off fighting fires this weekend. He posted a picture earlier in chat, if anyone is interested.

7:06 pm

Lizlin

Saw that picture - awesome. Such admiration for fire fighters.

7:07 pm

Lizlin

Interesting icon, Molly!

7:07 pm

Jillyjill

Will have to scroll thru chat later. I think he is probably having a tough time these days..

7:08 pm

Lizlin

Don't have to scroll back too far for that pic. Lickety's only been here for an hour or so.

7:09 pm

Jillyjill

Whoops, there goes the timer, off to shred chicken..bbl...nice chatting lizlin!

you can open another browser and then resize the windows to see both lickety and babble...i do it...

10:24 pm

penquis

you can't lose your words in the babble window....they will come back if you accidentally close the window...

10:26 pm

zambie

thanks penquis, that works, at least I now have both open, individually

10:27 pm

penquis
