They were married on the 13th, so it was sweet to do this as an after party for folks who couldn't make it from Indiana to TX. They are the cutest.

1:58 am

2:45 am

thats about all you need then-lol

2:45 am

grannyrose

don is going to log in about 3-4am your time, and let you all know what has happened.

2:45 am

puglet

no hidden bottles

2:46 am

puglet

great! give him thanks

2:46 am

grannyrose

pugs, and don...i need don....last time i was so miserable because we were apart.

2:47 am

puglet

Can he stay overnight with you there

2:47 am

grannyrose

no, hun. only if i was under 18... :-(

2:47 am

puglet

awww thats too bad

2:49 am

puglet

I know you will be in all of our minds but thats not like having someone there holding your hand

2:54 am

puglet

I ran into my sister's husband(hes a mail carrier in a town near me and sister is Gradyn's grandmother.The one who hasent spoken to me for about 3 years now) I asked him if she was still mad at me and he said he told her to call me(which she hasent) and told me to give her a call. And I said if anything I would go to her home but he said to just call. I like being face to face. But as I think more about it I dont feel like doing that just yet. Maybe I should but its a two way street I feel like.

2:56 am

grannyrose

all true, pugs. but a phone call keeps both of you in your own territory, and thus comforting you both. if you must see her face to face, male it on neutral territory..like a cafe or park.

2:56 am

grannyrose

*make*

2:58 am

puglet

I figure God will put us meeting somewhere or someplace when its time. And in my heart I just dont feel its the time yet

2:59 am

grannyrose

and that is okay, pugs. how you feel is quite correct...

3:00 am

puglet

the worse of it is she wont have anything to do with the other family members and I feel a bit bad about that, yet its her choice not mine

3:01 am

grannyrose

pugs, dear. you must respect her wishes...you will know when it is time to step up the pace.

3:02 am

joso

sounds good pug, you can force these things a bit if you are near ready, but you can't fake it entirely

3:02 am

puglet

the six of us girls use to be so close but now its like we are almost strangers

3:03 am

joso

rose, be careful what you wish for, if you were under 18, don would be in jail (and probably not the type of guy you'd want to be with anyway)

3:05 am

grannyrose

lolol....well some of my hair is under 18....alas the rest of me is, well, used a tad.

3:06 am

joso

well experienced has it's advantages

3:07 am

puglet

Where is our Sprite? Wonder if her daughter had to be put in hospital

3:08 am

grannyrose

hmmmmm, pugs....i do so hope all is well with her.

3:08 am

joso

besides it doesn't matter if you think you are man bate or not, don does, don't talk him out of it

3:08 am

puglet

Me too

3:09 am

grannyrose

*chuckling* if you only knew....i am soooo don bait...lol

3:09 am

joso

is it a therapy day, she is not here at these times on therapy days

3:09 am

puglet

no that was yesterday

3:10 am

grannyrose

ah, yes, therapy day fridays.

3:10 am

grannyrose

thursday??? pugs??

3:10 am

puglet

am I screwed up on time again

3:11 am

puglet

its 4am saturday here

3:11 am

joso

for her it is something like 8 am saturday now, sleeping in?

3:11 am

grannyrose

it's friday for sprite...i think....now i don't know either...waaahhh

3:12 am

puglet

lol! I had to look myself to make sure it was saturday

3:12 am

joso

nope, evening for you is morning for her on the same day, morning for you is evening for her previous day

3:13 am

puglet

flip is at 1am for me here

3:13 am

puglet

thats a big help Joso-lol

3:13 am

grannyrose

okay, so it's saturday morning for sprite...hope she's having a lovely snooze.

3:14 am

joso

me too, add about 5 hours to our time, or 4 hours to babble time for sprite time

3:14 am

grannyrose

inother words she is 12 hours or so behind me

3:14 am

joso

but it all shifts by an hour with various daylight savings plans

3:15 am

puglet

I always think of Rose ending her day as Iam just starting mine

3:16 am

joso

I think more like 10 hours off your time, but eve to morn and vica versa is a good rule of thumb for you

3:17 am

puglet

Is crossy on the same time as you Joso

3:17 am

joso

yes, he is due north of me so not time zone shift

3:19 am

joso

I had it all figured out exactly once, but then daylight saving hit and screwed it all up, now I just think in generalities

3:20 am

puglet

its hard to keep them all straight

3:21 am

joso

rose and liz are a half day++ ahead of us, sprite a quarter day- ahead

3:22 am

rose and liz a half day-- ahead of sprite

3:24 am

joso

rose and liz can be offset by an hour because Australia has whack-a-doodle daylight saving schemes

3:27 am

joso

I seem to have bored the chog to sleep

3:27 am

grannyrose

hey, who you calling whack-a-doodle??

3:27 am

puglet

no, Iam trying to find some words

3:28 am

joso

oz time keepers, who obviously go to work via the yellow brick road and answer to a wizard

3:29 am

grannyrose

*giggle*

3:29 am

puglet

I dont understand how babble does points on some words--like di5/12 if you add the tiles it only adds up to 6 and it makes it hard for me to find some words

3:30 am

grannyrose

pugs, 4 letter words, tile value only, 5 letter words double tile value, 6 letter words, 3 times the tile value..etc

3:30 am

joso

4 letter words are multiplied by 1, 5 letter words are multiplied by 2, 6 letter words are multiplied by 3, etc

3:32 am

joso

so di5-12 will have 6 basic points before multiplying, 4 1's and a 2

3:32 am

puglet

okay thanks guys

3:32 am

grannyrose

so, pugs if a 5 letter word is worth 12 points, that means one of the tiles has a value of 2, the reat only one point

3:33 am

grannyrose

*rest*

3:33 am

puglet

alright, I got it now

3:34 am

puglet

that will sure help out along the way

3:35 am

joso

I forgot to thank you for the fitness dude clue earlier pug... thx

3:36 am

puglet

and are the 7-13 3x's too or more

3:37 am

puglet

yrw but I got the clue from someone earlier

3:38 am

joso

7's are 4x, 8's 5x, ..... 25 letter words are 22 times

3:38 am

puglet

now Joso it only goes to 13

3:39 am

puglet

and I got it all now--ths

3:40 am

joso

no, 13 is the biggest so far, but it is possible to get a 25 letter word sometime

3:41 am

puglet

and you have seen that?

3:42 am

puglet

I dont even know a 25 letter word unless its some medical term

3:42 am

joso

no, but there are words that big, and the grid has 25 letters

3:43 am

puglet

that would be like a April Fools day grid

3:44 am

lynxxx

..especially when all the letters have to connect, what would be the odds. Hello all

3:44 am

puglet

Hello Lyn--been awhile, how are you

3:45 am

3:47 am

ChrissieDee

Beautiful picture and sentiment lynxxx

hi o-o lynxxx

3:50 am

puglet

these words are just coming out of the top of your head Joso? Thought you said you were short on words and word gaming

3:51 am

joso

looking them up, and the last one seemed apropos to the conversation

3:53 am

joso

I have a good vocabulary, but not that good, lol

3:54 am

puglet

thats not too fair to OO cause he has to explain them to us who are less knowledged

3:55 am

o-o

nah .. I just use a dictionary.

3:55 am

joso

my problem with word games is my lack of spelling ability

3:58 am

puglet

that is mine as well but I still like doing them. Dont much care for word search or crossword puzzles though

3:59 am

o-o

ct 7/36 is new to me

good morning all :)

4:37 am

o-o

Hello, sprite. Quiet prevails.

4:38 am

sprite

hi o-o! Am happy to see you. I hope your day is comfortably progressing?

4:39 am

o-o

As always, days come; days go.

4:40 am

sprite

so they do. Some are worse than others though. Looks like another tricky grid today.

4:41 am

o-o

Only new word for me was a ct 7/36

4:43 am

sprite

*grin* only in babble do we find ct and pt and j-whatwasit starts for words

4:44 am

o-o

there is a dj word ... not about hosting a radio show

4:45 am

sprite

oh yeah, that was it, dj something. Took me ages to find that one. A ct7 sounds interesting.

4:47 am

o-o

another that likely will never pass my lips in casual conversation

4:47 am

sprite

*grin* nor mine

4:49 am

sprite

Imagine... girl talk and then saying "You wouldn't believe how ct7 my hands are feeling today! Quick, hand me the hand cream!"

4:51 am

o-o

I suppose not beyond the realm of possibility at Oxford

4:52 am

sprite

hm, you have a point there. Ok, consider it added to my inner dictionary for you-never-know.

4:57 am

sprite

oh I remember... a word that starts with jn. That is the one that took me ages recently.

5:05 am

o-o

jnana

5:06 am

sprite

yes, that is the one. Very weird word for me.

5:09 am

sprite

and the jungle cutting tool is a phantom today :(

5:10 am

o-o

Words are aids to communication. So many of these words do not serve that purpose.

5:11 am

sprite

*sings* It's only words.... and words are all I have...

5:18 am

o-o

â€œWords are like nets - we hope they'll cover what we mean, but we know they can't possibly hold that much joy, or grief, or wonder.â€ â€• Jodi Picoult, Change of Heart

5:19 am

sprite

good one. I like feeling my way and trying to find just the right words to give the other a sense of what I wanted to express

5:24 am

o-o

Yes. Employing the right words still is no guaranty that another will understand exactly what you intended to express. There are studies that confirm what both say they understand is not coincidental.

5:25 am

sprite

too true. It is a funny thought that usually, when we communicate, words are the least of what we use to express ourselves, and here in chat are almost all we can go by.

5:30 am

sprite

fireflies. Not as tough as yesterday's, but still interesting. I wish you a blessed day and a peaceful night, o-o. Thanks for the chat and your company *hug*

5:32 am

o-o

A dog or the husband?

howdy again my friends

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Crossy, how is your mouth feeling?

8:27 am

joso

hey crossy

8:28 am

crosshair

very sore,scrabby, they have me on clindamycin and antiseptic mouth wash

8:28 am

crosshair

i can only open it a little ways

8:28 am

crosshair

howdy,joso

8:29 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, the swelling has not decreased?

8:30 am

crosshair

and all the advil i can handle.yes it has decreased but now instead of the entire right side of my face,it is centralized in a golf ball size swell over the infected area

8:31 am

Scrabbler

Ugh. well, that antibiotic will help.

8:31 am

crosshair

they gave me ten days of this med with orders to eat yougurt and take probiotics mid day with one antibiotic in the morn and onne at night

8:32 am

Scrabbler

450 mg twice daily?

8:32 am

crosshair

300 mg twice daily

8:33 am

Scrabbler

If you are not better in a few days you may need a higher dose. I am not a dentist but in te5 with certain infections we use 300-450 mg 3-4 times daily.

8:34 am

crosshair

ty.scrabby i guess half way through the med cycle i should see a def improvement?

8:34 am

Scrabbler

Within 4-5 days, unless you need an abscess drained.

8:35 am

crosshair

well he drained the gums in the affected area,and his hoping the infection did not attack the tooth nerve from below

8:36 am

Scrabbler

Are you able to sleep?

8:36 am

crosshair

because the tooth,after examination looks good on the top side

8:36 am

crosshair

yes,thankfully

8:37 am

crosshair

on a pain scale of 1-10 it sits at a 6 as long as i do not do anything foolish

8:37 am

Scrabbler

I am sure it is bad and difficult to forget about.

8:38 am

crosshair

it rams home the import of proper flossing and how buying a water pik may be a very good idea

8:39 am

Scrabbler

Tooth #30 gave me trouble for years, so I had the filling replaced, then a root canal, then an apicoectomy (read about that), then extraction, then implant. That all happened over 10+ yrs and cost me probably $10K.

8:39 am

crosshair

ouch

8:39 am

Scrabbler

Oral and dental health are vital to general health.

8:40 am

Scrabbler

Do you feel well enough to snowshoe? I forget, do you have snowshoes?

8:40 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

8:41 am

Scrabbler

Hi Liz. How has Saturday been?

8:42 am

Lizlin

Wet but good thanks. Now 12.42 am - just got in from a laughter filled night with friends and unwinding for a bit before bed.

8:42 am

Lizlin

Hope you have a good Saturday - are you on call?

8:43 am

Scrabbler

It is hard to unwind after an evening of laughter.

8:43 am

Lizlin

Whether my brain will see any words now is a different matter!

8:43 am

o-o

I keep some older shoes just for snow ...

8:43 am

Scrabbler

Not on call. I have the weekend on-call in 2 wks. I will cross-country ski again today.

8:43 am

Lizlin

Hi o-o

8:44 am

Scrabbler

No knee-high boots, o-o.

8:44 am

Scrabbler

* ?

8:44 am

Lizlin

Sounds like fun, Scrabbs - too cold for me to contemplate! Sitting here in Tshirt and cut off trousers!

8:44 am

o-o

The problem I have is how to get the shoes on when they are full of snow.

8:44 am

Scrabbler

This is the earliest I have been able to ski, because we got over a foot of snow this week.

8:45 am

Scrabbler

The ski resort across the valley opened on Wednesday--an early start for them. Financially wonderful for them.

8:46 am

Lizlin

Cold winter forecast?

8:46 am

Scrabbler

Actually a warming trend which bodes poorly for snowsports.

8:46 am

Lizlin

Wet slushy snow then?

8:47 am

Scrabbler

Yes, but then overnight it will freeze, so then there is ice early in the day. Anyway, snowshoeing in the woods is an option if the ski trails are a mess.

8:48 am

Lizlin

Are the roads kept well cleared or do you have to resort to snow shoes and skis?

8:48 am

Lizlin

Not sure how remote an area you live in.

8:49 am

Scrabbler

The roads are well-plowed, unless the snow is coming down hard and the plows cannot keep up. Also, I pay a man $300 per winter to plow my driveway.

8:49 am

Lizlin

$300 well invested, I'd think!

8:49 am

Scrabbler

I live in a development on top of a hill, about 1700 feet high, with one road in, and 140 homes.

8:50 am

Lizlin

Is this the community where you work as well?

8:51 am

Lizlin

I'd imagine it's pretty important to keep that main road clear then.

8:51 am

Lizlin

Funny, I judge snow by London standards and the place just fell apart in heavy snow because it didn't happen often, so sorry if my questions sound naive.

8:51 am

Scrabbler

I work in a village 8 miles away. This is rural, many farms.

8:52 am

Lizlin

Must be pretty idyllic.

8:52 am

o-o

Are the 140 homes subject to covenants or other contractual obligations?

8:52 am

Scrabbler

We get 80-120 inches of snow every winter.

8:53 am

crosshair

snowshoes are at the ready scrabby and i may be up to using the tomorrow

8:53 am

Lizlin

Hi crossy. How are you today?

8:53 am

crosshair

them

8:54 am

Scrabbler

Yes, o-o, this is a homeowner's association. Annual dues = $360. We have a meadow (baseball/soccer/volleyball), a playground, a basketball court, a picnic shelter, and a pool.

8:54 am

crosshair

howdy,liz,i am doing well and recovering from the dental torture chamber of horrors

8:55 am

Scrabbler

This is a woodlands community, with architectural guidelines, and other rules about preserving the trees. I love it here. It is my heaven.

8:55 am

Lizlin

Glad to hear it. Up to eating solids yet or still on baby mush?

8:56 am

crosshair

working on my first breakfast in 3 days. a scrambled egg and two lightly toasted slices of bread

8:56 am

Lizlin

Yay! Progress!

8:56 am

Scrabbler

Poor Crossy. I wish I could help, but healing takes time.

8:56 am

crosshair

i will be back on bacon in no time:))

8:57 am

o-o

The $300.00 is in addition to the home owner assessment?

8:57 am

Lizlin

Still reckon you 've got the option of a bacon smoothie.

8:57 am

Scrabbler

My snowplowing cost is extra. SOme people shovel, others have a snowblower, most pay a guy to plow.

8:59 am

crosshair

a smart kid on the block would do well to buy a snowblower and go door to door

9:01 am

Lizlin

OK 1.00 and time for bed. Enjoy your days and hope by tonight you'll be up to bacon, Crossy!

9:01 am

Scrabbler

But the high school kids must get on the bus at 0645 as it is.

9:01 am

Scrabbler

Sleep well, Liz.

9:01 am

crosshair

ty,liz and have a good sleep

9:02 am

o-o

Have you made any changes to your place to reduce damage caused by a sudden evacuation of snow from your roof?

9:02 am

crosshair

lol,scrabby.up north as kids,we used to get up at 04:30 for hockey practice,go home at 6 am,shower,eat and out the door for long bus ride at 7 am

9:03 am

Scrabbler

Hah, I have had 2 crises from that problem, since I got a steel roof 12 yrs ago. My small greenhouse was crushed, so I had it turned into a screened-in porch.

9:03 am

crosshair

i am surspised you do not keep a roof rake handy,scrabby

9:04 am

Scrabbler

Then in front I place plywood boards in front of the floor-level windows because once the snow and ice crashed down and bounced through a window.

9:04 am

Scrabbler

No, Crossy, I stay away from an avalanche.

9:05 am

Scrabbler

BRB, must grab breakfast.

9:05 am

carleekat

good morning babbleland!

9:05 am

crosshair

and all our new steel rooves havesmall upraised prtions that look like a steel ruler on edge.it prevents the entire thing from sliding off the roof as a whole

9:05 am

crosshair

howdy,carlee

9:05 am

carleekat

hi crossy :)

9:06 am

carleekat

i am..PROCRASTINATING....

9:06 am

crosshair

i see that

9:06 am

crosshair

the good thing about procrastinating is that you can always get to it later

9:06 am

carleekat

yeap... indeed you do...

9:09 am

o-o

I never procrastinate ... I just am ambivalent about whether I should.

9:10 am

carleekat

there is that too 0-0

9:14 am

Scrabbler

Hi Carlee!

9:16 am

o-o

My dad and I would get on the roof to make sure no vents were plugged ... took a push broom along to get snow accumulations moving on down. Not so fun but had to be done.

9:17 am

crosshair

yup.there were many times we had blocked vets.can be dangerous

9:17 am

crosshair

vents

9:18 am

crosshair

well,plugged vets can be a hazard as well,i am sure

9:19 am

Scrabbler

I got a steel roof after several years of having ice dams and leaking into the house. Many people here now have metal roofs.

9:21 am

Scrabbler

My phone charger cable is not working. I have bought so many new chargers. Is it the connection tines that fail over time?

9:21 am

crosshair

yes.makes life easier.nothing worse than ice build up backing up under the first 3 course of shingles and all of a sudden you have water running down your livingroom wall

9:21 am

crosshair

often,scrabby you can try cleaning those tines with a q tip and a bit of nail polish remover

9:22 am

crosshair

they get a build up on them sometimes

9:23 am

crosshair

unless some are actually broken off,then a new one is in order

9:23 am

carleekat

hi scrabs... sorry..was away

9:23 am

Scrabbler

I think I have bought 6-7 new ones in the last year. I don't know if spending $20 is better than the $8 ones I buy. Geez.

9:24 am

dan2bit

morning all!

9:24 am

crosshair

howdy,dan

9:24 am

crosshair

well try cleaning the tines before you toss it

9:24 am

Scrabbler

Hi Dan

9:25 am

crosshair

well,seven of the 8 dollar ones is 56 or three of the 20 dollar ones.so maybe see if the 20 dollar ones last any longer

9:26 am

o-o

Does the manufacturer of the charger have a number to call for support, Scrabbler?

9:26 am

crosshair

or,get one of those new duracell chargin mats

9:26 am

Scrabbler

It is so aggravating that charger cables/tines are so inadequate.

9:26 am

Scrabbler

I can check, o-o.

9:27 am

o-o

You cannot be the only one having that problem.

9:27 am

Scrabbler

Or I can get a battery wall charger and extra battery.

9:27 am

crosshair

the new chargin mats will charge up to three items at once. you just drop the phone on it and away it goes

9:27 am

Scrabbler

Wow!

I can charge my phone in my car but then must leave the car running. So, I will drive into town before I ski.

9:34 am

crosshair

my 2 usb ports in the jeep seem to charge no matter if the vehicle is running or not

9:35 am

crosshair

then again if i need it my jeep also has two 110 volt power outlets

9:35 am

I use an adaptor not a usb port in the car.

drones on a tad does she scrabby? lol

10:14 am

Anniebrook

scrabbs, How is she coming along since your Dad died?

10:15 am

Scrabbler

She rambles on and on. Overall she is progressing with grief but she cried on Thanksgiving Day, missing him. Last year we were in a daze of grief. This year his absence seems more real.

10:15 am

Anniebrook

She is lucky she has you and your sister nearby.

10:15 am

crosshair

crossy tidbit of the day!!!! today is the 100 anniversary of the crossword puzzle:)

10:16 am

Scrabbler

Yay! I love doing the NYT crossword puzzle. It is in our newspaper on Saturdays. So I will do it in the warming hut after skiing today.

10:17 am

Scrabbler

Annie, we do our best. She is anxious and finicky.

10:19 am

Scrabbler

Time to get ready for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. I need to put layers on. It is 25 degrees.

11:16 am

rururocks

I"m not in the 20's .. I read scrab's post. it is in the 40's here.. not too too bad.. only really cold at night and in the early am.. it warms up to the 60's during the day

11:16 am

harpjane

11:17 am

harpjane

well I think we are about 25, but i haven't checked

11:17 am

rururocks

I think the coldest I've ever been was in Winnepeg Canada .. it was -30 F below with a wind chill factor higher than that

11:18 am

rururocks

11:18 am

harpjane

phantom venison

11:18 am

harpjane

yum....

11:19 am

harpjane

rururocks

11:37 am

rururocks

smart kid

11:38 am

sammysmom

another of his favorite things is a large box of zip lock bags.. for preserving other stuff........... maybe he is a born archivist... or as one family mamber commented in a low voice.... maybe he is just a little strange like his g' nana

11:39 am

sammysmom

i am his g'nana ( sam's word for great grand nana , so that i would not be confused with any of his other grandmothers)

12:33 pm

MimiCat

Hello, everyone! Talking food, I just got an 8-qt. slow cooker and have never used one before. Any good recipe ideas will be greatly appreciated. I'm going to put a whole chicken in there in a bit. A friend told me not to put liquid in with it since it makes enough by itself....thoughts?

12:34 pm

Aloyisius

fw, pretty friendly grid today.. hi Mimi!

12:34 pm

periwinkle

congrats, Aloy but I do not think this grid is friendly

12:34 pm

periwinkle

bbs

12:34 pm

MimiCat

((Aloy)) Looking forward to tomorrow....call me later.

12:34 pm

Aloyisius

lots of online slowcooker recipes.. you will have a ball

12:34 pm

periwinkle

that is a big slow cooker mimi

12:35 pm

periwinkle

have fun alloy and mimi

12:35 pm

Aloyisius

I like the chicken and dumplings one, pot roasts, chiles, soups, the list goes on and on

12:35 pm

MimiCat

I wanted the biggest one I could find so I could make a whole roast.

12:35 pm

Aloyisius

me too Mimi! will do

12:36 pm

Aloyisius

bye, peri.. must scoot too.. Happy Babbling! poof

12:37 pm

rururocks

nice that you're meeting up mimi

12:37 pm

rururocks

I have enjoyed meeting several babble players

12:38 pm

MimiCat

((ruru)) So good to see you!! Yep...we've got a beautiful dinner planned at a restaurant in a resort atop a mountain...sunset reservation. The restaurant has windows all the way around.

12:39 pm

rururocks

I happened to catch the conversation you had with Haz and co the other day.. and I must say that someone's comments to you were below the belt and uncalled for and rude

12:40 pm

rururocks

hence my icon

12:42 pm

MimiCat

Thank you, dear...several people emailed me saying they thought so, too. Nice to know I have support! I now simply avoid chat whenever o-o is here...not worth the hassle. There was someone in that particular criticizing conversation who believes she has a bone to pick with me and who has actually made the criticism I made herself...hate hypocrites.

12:43 pm

MimiCat

I won't name names because that's not who I am.

12:44 pm

rururocks

yep.. I have been meaning to catch you and toss in my support. I caught mr 00's comment and found it to be very hurtful and rude.

12:45 pm

rururocks

it's odd how some people get miles of latitude and others have a very short leash :D

12:46 pm

MimiCat

I just don't see the point saying things like that, especially bringing one's children into it...it was just cruel. I know he has "issues" but that does not give him the right to be that cruel especially when it isn't even relevant to anything I said to or about him.

12:46 pm

rururocks

I completely agree.

12:46 pm

rururocks

it doesn't give anyone the right to be cruel like that

12:47 pm

MimiCat

I used to dislike Molly a bit as well but she has kind of grown on me and now I miss her! Don't think BR could grown on me if you super glued him.

12:47 pm

rururocks

I know he can't help himself.. but he should stay away when he is in his moods

12:48 pm

MimiCat

That's why I've just avoided chat when I see he's here...better to leave him alone. I don't need the grief. I come here for the wonderful company and most people here are indeed terrific.

12:48 pm

rururocks

Molly's comments are often misunderstood. She actually is trying to joke.. but for some reason they come across as criticisms .. whereas when I joke.. everyone knows it is a joke, because i'm such a goof

12:49 pm

rururocks

Molly is actually a very funny person

12:50 pm

MimiCat

I usually assume someone is joking at least at first. I understand sarcastic wit because that's my style as well. Gotta say crossy was right there for me, bless him. Knew you would be, too. Thanks so much.

12:53 pm

rururocks

I could make more comments but it is probably best to leave it like it is.

12:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Sometimes people get a bit huffy here.

12:53 pm

MimiCat

I was just thinking the same thing myself, ruru!! Best to leave it along and move on.

12:53 pm

rururocks

there are times I wish you were in the chat while people are acting out kap.. with your experience and all

12:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

My experience of what- acting out?

12:54 pm

rururocks

aren't you a therapist?

12:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, yeah, that makes me an authority I guess ;)

12:55 pm

rururocks

we'll you'd be able to diagnose some of these people's issues :D

12:55 pm

MimiCat

Believe it or not, that's my background, too. But I'm one of those who believes people should take responsibility for their words and actions and not just use excuses.

12:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You've heard of wounded healers, or healed wounders or time wounds all heels or something...

12:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I diagnose everyone here as seriously disbabbled.

12:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I believe context is everything.

12:56 pm

MimiCat

Kap, I think of us as being "embabbled."

12:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Well-heeled wound up babblers.

12:57 pm

rururocks

Look Mimi.. this is just a game. It is here to help people challenge their brain. The Chat feature is a nice feature to have people help each other accomplish the goal of finishing and chatting. The bitchy portion of the program.. is really uncalled for. I'm here to have fun, laugh, and talk to nice people.

12:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Could you imagine how many friends I would have if I started diagnosing them?

12:57 pm

rururocks

LOL Kaplan

12:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Girls just wanna have fun.

12:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Apprently we are a group that spent a year grieving a fake person, so who is to say what's real?

12:59 pm

MimiCat

Exactly, ruru. The grid is one thing and chat is another. It's a chance to connect with people from all over the world you would never meet otherwise. I'm looking forward to meeting Aloy tomorrow and many other babblers in the future...lots of trips being planned for the spring.

12:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The fake person was a lot of fun, and we got along, only he didn't exist.

12:59 pm

rururocks

Which is why I don't participate in social networks at all. I see it as a bad venue to bully people.

1:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

this is a social network of sorts.

1:00 pm

MimiCat

I completely do not understand the fascination with Facebook! Lots of people with nothing to say...saying it!

1:00 pm

rururocks

yes..that's true Kaplan..

1:00 pm

rururocks

I bet Aloy is a nice person

1:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Depends on who you have as friends. I connected with some important people that I had lost track of, and we share good times during public events. Also, when Boston was on lockdown last spring, it's how I stayed up on things.

1:01 pm

rururocks

I would NEVER sign up for Facebook.. not ever

1:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Photographing food- that I don't get.

1:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I never say never ever.

1:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Look at the eggs I had for breakfast, everyone! Sheesh!

1:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I sometimes say sometimes. I often say rarely.

1:03 pm

rururocks

LOL

1:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I usually say maybe.

1:03 pm

Soodle

Interesting chat to stumble into..... Hello all :-)

1:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have commitment issues.

1:03 pm

rururocks

Kap you are hilarious

1:03 pm

rururocks

hello soodle

1:03 pm

MimiCat

That's exactly right, Kap...lots of people with NOTHING to say doing so constantly!

1:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, is there a GRID here today?

1:04 pm

MimiCat

((Soodle))!!!

1:04 pm

Soodle

Me? I'm just a gal who can't say 'No'.....

1:04 pm

MimiCat

That must have made you very popular with the gentlemen, Soodle!

1:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You don't have to be friends with people who don't say anything. You can get updates from Robert Reich.

1:05 pm

Soodle

That depends on what the question was, Mimi ;-)

1:05 pm

MimiCat

Me,too...oh, the stories we could share, Soodle!

1:07 pm

MimiCat

Gotta go and see if I can figure out this slow cooker so I'll have chicken for dinner tonight. So good touching base with everyone today. Especially happy to get to chat with you, ruru. Hugs all around!

1:11 pm

Soodle

Bye Mimi. (((())))

1:11 pm

rururocks

good luck with the cooker

1:11 pm

rururocks

I've never used one

1:12 pm

Soodle

Phew! I don't know what a slow cooker is.......

1:13 pm

rururocks

they are big over here soodle

1:13 pm

rururocks

for people on the go

1:14 pm

Soodle

Now I do!! I just googled it. I don't think they're available over here.

1:14 pm

momof5

Slow cooker, also known as crock pot. Put your meat/veggies in (usually with liquid), set timer/temp and be gone all day while it slowly cooks.

1:15 pm

rururocks

probably really handy if you are running with kids all the time

1:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Better than running with scissors.

1:15 pm

Soodle

My equivalent is a bit prehistoric. I have a solid fuel cooker, which is great for stove-top soups & stews etc.

1:15 pm

ch1212

I use mine at least 2x a week. Pork or beef roasts, stews, chile, soups ... oh, and wassail in holidays.

1:16 pm

tabbycat

Used to use my crock pot a lot when I was working but haven't at all since I retired.

1:16 pm

tabbycat

Oh yes, ch1212, good for mulled cider too

1:16 pm

rururocks

Running with scissors is difficult if you are hard of Shearing :D

1:17 pm

ch1212

LOL Ruru!

1:17 pm

Soodle

Cutting as usual, Ru

1:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You just have to hide in the burroughs.

1:18 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It works best in August.

1:18 pm

joso

same idea as a pot roast, low temp long time cooking. very tender meat, flavors disseminated well isw the result

1:18 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Nothing to be afraud of.

1:19 pm

ch1212

lol (chuckle) Kap

1:19 pm

Soodle

Nothing better than coming home from a hard day at the office, to a lovely, cooky smell!

1:20 pm

rururocks

I tend to cook on the spot.. with what ever suits my fancy.

1:21 pm

Kaplan the Magne

In fancy suits? Are you well heeled?

1:21 pm

rururocks

I can't wear heels :D

1:21 pm

Soodle

Pimple pie? Zuchini n zits?

1:22 pm

rururocks

ewwwwwwww

1:22 pm

Kaplan the Magne

the last time I heard anyone go ewwww here was the other day with Gleedy.

1:22 pm

rururocks

Gleedy?

1:23 pm

Kaplan the Magne

it was a word.

1:23 pm

Kaplan the Magne

This grid makes me want to evacuate the avenues.

1:23 pm

rururocks

that's one I don't know

1:23 pm

tabbycat

Could someone please clue the a in the top row?

1:23 pm

Hi and bye as well. I have to go do something productive.

1:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Not that this isn't, or is it?

1:28 pm

hego

I hope it wasn't something I said.....

1:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

"Oh do not ask what is it?/ Let us go and make our visit."

1:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Guess whether that was TS Eliot or Dr Seuss.

1:28 pm

hego

Nd Kap is off again :)

1:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

If you don't want my sugar please don't touch my bowl.

1:29 pm

I thought it was Lewis Czrroll

1:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I believe it was Eliot.

1:29 pm

hego

Carroll

1:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Eliot.

1:29 pm

hego

You are usually right

1:30 pm

hego

Liked the sugar bowl line...

1:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But Eliot didn't say "if you don't want my sugar please don't touch my bowl."

1:30 pm

hego

didn't think so

1:30 pm

Soodle

The lovesong of J Alfred Prufrock?

1:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm listening to Gladys Hill singing.

1:31 pm

hego

hi Soodle!

1:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yes, it was Prufrock. Do I dare to eat a peach?

1:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Or should I stick to mangoes.

1:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

There were such existential dilemmas in the wast land.

1:32 pm

hego

Is that like "if you don't want my peaches, don't you shake my tree"/

1:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Waste.

1:32 pm

Soodle

Jays!! Can't remember what I ate for dinner, but I can recall lines from a poem learned over 3 decades ago. I am old, Father William!

1:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, I think so.

1:33 pm

1:33 pm

I cannot st5/12 Black Friday! Shoppers get so te 5/10 and don't show any ta4/5 in their quest for sales from ve4/8ors.One year I st5/16d my ankle. Was trampled on and was se 4/4 to the hospital so I have never done Black Friday ever since that happened. Now I st 4/6 home and do all my shopping online.This en4/5 my story.I hope you have se4/4 more words with this story.Now that I've le4/4 you a hand with my story I'm going to go watch the movie Ma5/16point. I will be back later, ev 4/7 if husband is using computer. I will kick him off. By the way, I totally in6/27ed my story. No 4/4 of it is true.
