12:55 am

sprite

hi and bye, Liz, have a nice evening

12:55 am

Lizlin

Hi and bye sprite. Don't know if you saw on jigidi. I loved the fire horses! The large version. Such an evil jigsaw!!!! But loved it anyway :) I'll be back later tonight. Hugs

12:55 am

jillibus

Have you made some more puzzles, sprite? I've been so busy with Xmas I haven't had much time for them.

12:55 am

sprite

saw it and am glad :) Yeah, it is pretty evil, but I had fun doing it too.

12:56 am

sprite

quite a few, jilli, enjoying making them as much as solving them.

12:56 am

jillibus

Fire horses? Is this one of yours, sprite?

12:56 am

sprite

yes jilli

12:56 am

jillibus

Oh, I must look asap.

Hi Jilli----thats wonderful Sprite

1:01 am

puglet

Gradyn sent me a card yesterday with his school picture in it and wrote me a nice little note along with it

1:02 am

sprite

oh that is so sweet, pug!

1:06 am

puglet

then in the evening our well pump switch froze up and hubby had to call a friend out and they got it going just at dark

1:06 am

sprite

omg... how uncomfortable :( Glad they got it back to work themselves.

1:07 am

puglet

yeah me too! The temps were so cold I was afraid the lines would freeze and cause more of a problem

1:08 am

sprite

that would be a real risk indeed. So glad they got it back going before that happened

1:14 am

sprite

guess we lost jilli to jigidi, grin

1:15 am

puglet

that or she fell asleep on ;us

1:16 am

sprite

*giggles* Poor jilli, with a keyboard print in her cheek

1:16 am

jillibus

even better! Good job, jilli!

1:16 am

puglet

Ruby's dogs are in the grid today

1:17 am

sprite

they were my first word, pug :)

1:17 am

puglet

think it was mine too--seems to just pop right out at ya

1:18 am

sprite

sure does. Though I have to say, that doesn't go for the rest of the grid. Not getting up any speed here.

1:19 am

puglet

I need 2 more to make it to the half way point

1:19 am

sprite

1:28 am

grannyrose

hey pugs, ruru, sprite. and goodnight jilli.

1:29 am

grannyrose

1:29 am

sprite

with your leg up, I hope

1:30 am

grannyrose

ummmmm. ah, honey, sprite says with leg up....

1:30 am

sprite

1:31 am

grannyrose

* leg up * happy now, sprite?

1:31 am

rururocks

Does honey have them both up?

1:31 am

sprite

happy now :)

1:31 am

sprite

over his shoulders, yes

1:32 am

rururocks

Lol

1:32 am

grannyrose

not how you, or him, would like them...

1:32 am

sprite

sigh, another illusion shattered...

1:33 am

grannyrose

besides the cold pack might be a tad off-putting...lolol

1:33 am

rururocks

Lol

1:33 am

sprite

lolol rose

1:33 am

grannyrose

sprite, what's with the rabby bunnit?

1:34 am

sprite

tiger bunny hear me roar!

1:34 am

grannyrose

oh yeah, girl...you rock

1:37 am

grannyrose

* groan * this not being able to drive is for the pixies. i so need to go to the bank...and will my head full of drugs allow me to remember whenever we are out...noooo!!!

1:39 am

puglet

Rose after you left Crossy came on and gave you some good advice on the honey-do list-lol

1:39 am

sprite

aw poor rose :(
So very frustrating, all of it. But time is on your side now, hun. Soon, you will be able to do all that again.

1:39 am

grannyrose

oh, and i learned yesterday, no full on physio for 6 weeks...apparently, although the skin will have healed, underneath takes that much longer...

1:39 am

sprite

ok rose... so take your time... easy does it.

1:40 am

grannyrose

thanx pugs, will go and check the chog for yesterday

1:41 am

sprite

advice like: Once your husband has promised to do something, there is no reason to nag him and remind him every 6 months?

1:42 am

puglet

Not sure if he put it quite like that--lol

1:43 am

grannyrose

poor DIL just dropped in. she and dear son had a tiff last night. she wanted a hand to help with the baking she had to do. he was outside, drinking with his mate. she tried the approach...honey you know how i look out for you when you may need a hand doing something? well i need a hand now.

1:43 am

sprite

;)

1:44 am

sprite

didn't work?

1:44 am

puglet

and did that work

1:44 am

grannyrose

son blew up...i told her men are from completely different planet to women. they need to be asked straight out. no pussy-footing around.

1:45 am

sprite

great advice, rose. He probably felt manipulated.

1:45 am

rururocks

I am staying out of this one

1:45 am

sprite

nah, your insight would be much appreciated, ruru

1:46 am

grannyrose

good place to be, ruru. out of it totally

1:46 am

sprite

rose couldn't be in that place, got dragged in kicking and screaming

1:46 am

rururocks

I would have asked him before his mate came over

1:46 am

grannyrose

don has told me on several occasions, just tell/ask me. i don't know when you need help.

1:47 am

sprite

even better, ruru

1:47 am

grannyrose

ummm, said mate lives with them.

1:47 am

rururocks

Oh weird

1:47 am

sprite

my love and I both ask eachother straight up. Much better. No mindreading included.

1:48 am

rururocks

Then she should have asked both of them to help

1:48 am

sprite

would have asked them both then

1:48 am

grannyrose

yah, think, ruru? not sure if/how i am to address that situation. i think DIL is a champ to put up with a third wheel around 24/7

1:49 am

rururocks

She learned from you

1:49 am

grannyrose

and i just wonder...what is going to happen when a baby comes along?

1:49 am

sprite

wham! Good one, ruru.

1:49 am

grannyrose

awww, shucks, ruru

1:50 am

sprite

for the first part, mostly crying, drinking and sleeping, rose

1:50 am

grannyrose

but third wheel is sleeping in future nursery...

1:51 am

Lizlin

Hi again. Showered and ready to go out with 15 mins to spare. Not a bad effort!

1:51 am

rururocks

And that's just the mate sprite

1:51 am

sprite

even better. He can do the nightly stuff.

1:51 am

rururocks

Sniffs liz...

1:51 am

Lizlin

Rose - how are you? How did it go today - I've been thinking of you!

1:51 am

puglet

Hi Liz

1:51 am

sprite

lol ruru

1:51 am

grannyrose

yay, liz. where are you off to, hun?

1:51 am

rururocks

Yep. You are good to go

1:52 am

sprite

good job, liz.! Could you please send me an email so I have your email addy? I will send you some more links to fantasy puzzles.

1:52 am

Lizlin

Nothing I particularly want to go to - more of a duty thing. But hopefully some friends will be there too.

1:52 am

Lizlin

Sure Sprite - is yours in your profile.

1:52 am

puglet

Ruru did you get to watch the bronco and chargers game last night

1:52 am

grannyrose

thanx, liz. went very well. i was touched when BIL came up and thanked me for taking care of his mum.

1:52 am

sprite

yes, it is, Liz

1:52 am

rururocks

Yes pugs

1:52 am

Lizlin

Oh! That's so nice.

1:52 am

sprite

aw, that is a good thing, rose.

1:53 am

Lizlin

And yes, Ru - smell good - my fav perfume.

1:54 am

rururocks

La Perla?

1:55 am

Lizlin

No, White Musk.

1:55 am

Lizlin

Just emailed you sprite!

1:56 am

sprite

lovely, Liz :)

1:56 am

sprite

<-- loves white musk

1:56 am

Lizlin

Surprised! Not! lol.

1:57 am

rururocks

Never smelled a musk

1:57 am

Lizlin

Only the white ones!

1:57 am

Lizlin

My hubby went to buy it for me once and didn't because he said it smelled different in the shop to the way it does on me! Again, surprise!

1:58 am

grannyrose

my fave is green tea by elizabeth arden. ruru, what do you use? brut???

1:59 am

Lizlin

don't know that one but like Elizabeth Arden.

1:59 am

grannyrose

or old spice??....lololol

1:59 am

sprite

lol, indeed Liz

1:59 am

Lizlin

Do you have a sense of relief now the funeral's over, Rose?

1:59 am

rururocks

That's pretty common

2:00 am

sprite

my favorite is Cristobal by Balenciaga.

2:00 am

grannyrose

liz, it's very dependent on the person. my boss uses it and it doesn't smell the same.

2:00 am

grannyrose

liz, it's like a sort of closure. although still lot's to do.

2:01 am

Lizlin

Of course! The way a perfume smells depends on our bodies - surprising how many people don't know that.

2:01 am

rururocks

Mrs ru likes mitsuka..

2:01 am

grannyrose

mitsuka, lovely scent...but on me smells too heavy...

2:01 am

Lizlin

Of course, Rose. We're (sadly) still sorting stuff from when my dad died in 2010 - hopefully getting to the end of it now. The solicitors are really dragging stuff.

2:02 am

rururocks

I don't wear cologne gr...

2:02 am

puglet

You have a wife Ruru

2:02 am

Lizlin

Apart from the physical sorting of belongings.

2:02 am

Lizlin

Smells good enough :)

2:02 am

grannyrose

what about after-shave, ruru?

2:03 am

rururocks

Yes pugs... I do although we are now separated

2:03 am

rururocks

No after shave either gr..

2:04 am

grannyrose

okay, so ruru smells au naturale...that could be a good thing..

2:04 am

Lizlin

Stats for the 8's please - they're not jumping out at me today.

2:05 am

grannyrose

he8, plural of he7, he + short thank-you + a long period of time

2:06 am

Lizlin

ty Rose - we've had that before but I'd forgotten it.

2:07 am

grannyrose

po8, po + att***, affix to + more so ending using 2 vowels

2:07 am

Lizlin

REALLY!!!! That's a word!!!! Thanks again, though!

2:08 am

grannyrose

lol, yes, really!!!

2:09 am

grannyrose

did sprite leave?? i didn't see her go.. :-(

2:09 am

rbud

hi all!! shaking my he4 here as I still have 4 BT's! it never takes me this long to get nbt!

2:10 am

grannyrose

g'day rbud

2:10 am

Lizlin

Me neither. Perhaps she's deep in the grid.

2:10 am

Lizlin

Hi rbud

2:10 am

sprite

hiya rbud, it isn't a very friendly grid for sure

2:10 am

Lizlin

OK - I've got to go. Will be back later. Thanks again for the clues, Rose. Hugs to all.

2:10 am

grannyrose

my namesake...which tiles are you stuck on, dear?

2:10 am

sprite

no, was copying some links for Liz. Email sent, Liz!

2:10 am

grannyrose

xoxox liz

2:11 am

rururocks

It isn't too bad sprite

2:11 am

sprite

bye Liz, good luck *hugs*

2:11 am

puglet

bye Liz

2:11 am

rbud

ah, got one. still need the lower E, the lone A above it, and the top A last column.

2:12 am

grannyrose

*holds sprite tightly* don't you ever leave me, you hear?

2:12 am

rururocks

You were surprised I was married pugs?

2:12 am

grannyrose

rbud, ep4, a long story

2:12 am

sprite

I won't, rose, I promise. Love you way too much!

2:13 am

rbud

fish me, how blind am I, ty!

2:13 am

puglet

kinda Ruru cause you always talk about going to bed with the dog---sorry for your break up though

2:13 am

rururocks

Ah..

2:14 am

grannyrose

ad6, ad + ***al, to do with birth + vowel

2:14 am

sprite

pug, hate to break it to you, but ruru doesn't mean that in a sexual way...

2:15 am

grannyrose

aj6, aj + exclamation of pain + **t, picnic pest

2:15 am

rbud

I'm happily hitched myself, and sleep with a tomcat or two, (wink wink) but not with hubs - he only sleeps in his recliner these days.

2:15 am

rururocks

It is fine pugs..Mrs ru and I are still good friends

2:15 am

puglet

once in a town near us a bank put on this contest on where this cow would make her co6 in a pen with squares painted in it and each square was numberd and the winner won 500. dollars--lol

2:16 am

sprite

that aj is new for me

2:16 am

puglet

thats good Ruru. Do you have kids too

2:16 am

sprite

lol pug!

2:17 am

rururocks

No kids...

2:19 am

puglet

Being alone is kind of sad though

2:19 am

sprite

are you sorry not to have kids, ruru?

2:20 am

rururocks

No ..not really. .. I don't think I would have been a very good parent

2:20 am

puglet

I dont have any and Iam not sad about it at all. Not with all I see others go through with theirs

2:21 am

sprite

am glad. It is hard to have a longing for children and not an opportunity to have them and raise them.

2:21 am

rururocks

I didn't have an easy childhood..and didn't want to repeat those mistakes

2:22 am

sprite

good thinking, ruru. It is hard not to repeat them. We tried our very bests here and still didn't avoid them all.

2:22 am

rbud

of course my tomcats are fixed, lol... but anyway, thanks for the hints, g'rose, was momentarily distracted by son looking for clean clothes

2:22 am

puglet

Iam like Ruru, I dont think I would be a good parent--I would probally be behind bars for child abuse

2:23 am

grannyrose

pugs and ruru, it's okay not to want children. truly it is. if everyone had their 2.whatever kids, we would need to find another planet. trust me, i have had 3, my son has 5..

2:23 am

sprite

lol rbud. Ain't they precious... "Mum, where are my black trousers? Haven't you washed them?"
"Didn't see them. Aren't they still in your room?"
"Oh yeah, right."

2:24 am

rbud

these days things seem to be different, too, kids just don't leave home like they used to, at least not around here.

2:24 am

sprite

never, pug. You have such a gentle heart, you couldn't hurt your children on purpose.

2:24 am

rbud

hahaha, yep, that sounds about right, sprite!

2:24 am

sprite

here neither, rbud. Too expensive.

2:24 am

puglet

I had one Rose and she passed and never had another, so it may have been a sign that that wasent for me

2:24 am

rururocks

That is true be

2:24 am

grannyrose

hey husbands aren't much better...had to remind himself to get the trousers dry-cleaned, and put out the shirt to have it pressed.

2:25 am

rbud

finally got son to do some of his own laundry, yahoo! it only took 22 years...

2:25 am

puglet

maybe not on purpose but I would want them to mind like my dogs---when I say sit, I want em to sit--lol

2:25 am

rururocks

I am sorry pugs

2:26 am

rbud

he's starting to behave somewhat more humanlike since his beloved ALSO lives here now.

2:26 am

puglet

thanks Ru

2:26 am

grannyrose

pugs, and just how would you be taking care of your sister with children demanding your time.

2:27 am

rbud

so that's both kids and their significant others, living with us. *facepalm*

2:27 am

puglet

2:29 am

grannyrose

lol, rbud, the mind pictures are hilarious..

2:30 am

2:30 am

2:30 am

puglet

Is there a chance you and your wife might get back together Ruru

2:31 am

rbud

2:32 am

rururocks

No pugs...

2:32 am

puglet

Well I was the oldest and the first to leave and living with my dad was no picnic so as my sisters one by one wanted to fly from the coop they stayed with me until they got jobs and could make it out on their own

2:33 am

rururocks

I moved out when I was 16

2:33 am

puglet

thats too bad Ruru --maybe someone real special will come along for you, I hope

2:34 am

rbud

I've put up mom more than once, my sis more than once, (both between relationships, jobs, and homes) an old friend and both her little sons... hubs has really put up with a lot, I suppose. but then there were a couple of his buddies, too, over the years.

2:37 am

rbud

I ran away one afternoon when I was 17, myself. borrowed a car and packed it up, moved in with cousins of "fiance" at the time. never asked for another dime from parents. I keep asking our kids why they can't be more like that, hahaha!

puglet

2:43 am

rururocks

No pugs.. I am not religious

2:58 am

grannyrose

hi Dianne and worzel

3:59 am

rubyfoo

It is so cold here that even in my studi, where it's usually warm, it is too cold

4:01 am

Dianne

ruby - do you have space heaers?

4:02 am

Dianne

*heaters

4:02 am

rubyfoo

we put in a couple of radiators, but the in-floor heating went out after about a year with a short-circuit and the firelace doesn't do much, even though we enclosed it Fortunately, the bathrooms have radiators

4:03 am

rubyfoo

the bedroom is less than 60F at night, so we sleep under mounds of blankets and duvets and I put an old fur coat on top

4:03 am

rubyfoo

We look like homeless people sleeping under a bridge

4:04 am

rubyfoo

Americans don't think of central heating

4:05 am

Dianne

We don't have heat in our flat. So when it is cold

4:06 am

Dianne

I move my space heaters where I need them. Wherever I move them the cat follows so he can nap in fornt of them.

4:07 am

my crazy dogs are running around in the frozen garden, jumping over each other and looking like huge balls of brown fluff

4:13 am

Hi Ruby & Dianne. We have portable oil-column heaters here , they are terrific for single rooms and have thermostat controls. Both my kids use them in their apartments.

4:17 am

Dianne

I also have one of those (no thermostat though) but it doesn't do as much as my little electric space heater.

4:19 am

Dianne

It isn't cold enough for the heaters yet but we are supposed to get into the 40's F by next week.

4:21 am

lynxxx

I'm surprised it gets down so low there

4:22 am

Dianne

That is about as cold as it gets but it feels colder because we are surrounded by water.

4:35 am

o-o

Does the colder weather affect the pollution?

4:37 am

Dianne

I would guess that it would - there would be a lot more coal being burned on the mainland.

Hi, everyone. Don't want to think about the weather, especially cool weather. We are having a heat wave here in Perth, Western Aust. - up in the high 30's = 100F. I hate it!

4:50 am

hi Dofith..and if you could just keep it over there and not send it here it would be much appreciated

4:53 am

dofith

Are you getting any rain there, Lynxxx? You're in Melb, aren't you?

4:57 am

lynxxx

Its been a pretty wet Spring and dams are 85% full which is great. Just a few really hot days but it has been cooling down after a couple of days. We are supposed to be 38 next Thursday but 25 the next day. Thats bearable

good morning everyone:))

6:40 am

bojazz

hi crossy - hope you're doing better

6:41 am

crosshair

((ruby)) there are a wide variety of portable heater choices so you do not have to freeze in your bedroom. like someone else said here, there are these nice mini oil filled electric radiators you can get now and I think they have setting for 700 or 100 watts of heat. then there is my favorite for portable heat, ceramic micro furnaces. theses are units that are abou 8 inches square and very portable and they actually use ceramic disks to generate heat.they are very safe even if big shaggy dogs were inclined to tip them over

6:42 am

crosshair

doing better,bojazz. teeth are stable for now and I go back on the 23rd

6:42 am

crosshair

700 or 1100 watts*

The ski resort here opened on Nov 27.

7:04 am

wvteach

just cold here - light duisting still on the ground

7:05 am

crosshair

your resort will be much like ours in that they buy a "block" of time for heavy hydro usage for the snow guns, so once it starts,they will run them non stop to make the base as deep as they can ,then they will stop and coast through march break and into spring

7:06 am

Scrabbler

Yes, they are building up the base now while the weather cooperates.

7:07 am

crosshair

our hill even "stores" snow for each run in massive mounds, and use the groomers to put a layer on the runs on bad days with no natural snow

7:07 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I see those mounds here too.

7:34 am

For sciatica? That is brutal pain.

7:35 am

Riverdance

yes - have a herniated disk at L 4-5 pressing on the nerve root - this is my only other option short of surgery

7:35 am

crosshair

sadly,scrabby, i am now officially sidelined until i see the neurosurgeon about those three herniated disks on my neck.the MRI came back and we have heavy arthritis,a severe narrowing of where the nerves pass through and some kind of odd birth defect where there is an extra vertical column fillied with spinal fluid running the length of my spine

7:35 am

Scrabbler

I have had 3 bad episodes in my life.

7:35 am

poor river:((

7:36 am

It is called a syrinx, Crossy.

it may be of no import,but the severe narrowing is as well as this damn arthritis.

7:37 am

tired of my arms going numb

Hope Ruby saw her dogs in the grid!

8:02 am

MimiCat

Bea, microwaves are really inexpensive these days...treat yourself to a new one!

8:03 am

BzznBea

I know they are cheap. Just didn't want to spend the money right now.

8:03 am

BzznBea

But, it looks like we will get one for Christmas.

8:03 am

Scrabbler

I bought a new microwave in Aug for just $39 at Target.

8:04 am

MimiCat

I'm like you....really need the microwave. My son gave me an old one he was going to give away and the power is low so I must cook everything a lot longer but as long as it works, I'm keeping it!

8:05 am

rururocks

I never use a microwave

8:05 am

MimiCat

Whoa, ((ruru))---you are here early today!

8:05 am

BzznBea

How do you reheat left overs?

8:06 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Ruru.

8:06 am

rururocks

On the stove or in the oven

8:07 am

rururocks

Hi zooz...

8:08 am

MimiCat

Strange icon, ruru....what IS it?

8:08 am

rururocks

It is a bowser bang..ON called me one yesterday

8:09 am

rururocks

00 that is. He was in a mood last night

8:09 am

MimiCat

Big surprise....

8:10 am

rururocks

Ya think?

8:10 am

MimiCat

How did you find this creature, though? I just searched and nothing came up.

8:11 am

rururocks

I think he meant bowser bag. But said bang..so I Googled..bowser bang

8:11 am

BzznBea

Are o-o and crossy having a tiff?

8:12 am

Scrabbler

Done with phone call.

8:12 am

rururocks

I don't know bea

8:12 am

Scrabbler

Not that I know of, Bea.

8:13 am

BzznBea

I was getting ready to tell both of them to play nice the other day.

8:14 am

MimiCat

I no longer enter chat if oo is here...too potentially unpleasant. Sorry...shouldn't speak ill of anyone.

8:14 am

Scrabbler

Chats create difficulty of not knowing mood of words, e.g. sarcasm.

8:14 am

Scrabbler

BRB, must get breakfast.

8:15 am

BzznBea

Would you look at that! An almost perfect bowl of oatmeal from the stovetop... Who knew!

8:15 am

MimiCat

LOL, Bea!

8:15 am

rururocks

Lol bea

8:15 am

zoozzoom

Enjoy ,Bea lol

8:18 am

rururocks

How did it go with your daughter mimi

8:19 am

zoozzoom

Oh yes..well remembered, Ru!

8:19 am

MimiCat

Very well, ruru...thanks for asking. We seem to be reconciled. So glad...I missed my baby girl.

8:20 am

BzznBea

Keep working on it, Mimi.

8:20 am

rururocks

That is nice. The more time the more difficult

8:20 am

Scrabbler

Good news, Mimi.

8:20 am

zoozzoom

Did you make her that food you said you were going to make?

8:21 am

MimiCat

She emailed me yesterday that she went to get paprikash to take for lunch at work and found her boyfriend had eaten it all. I asked to what hospital we should sent flowers....you don't take my paprikash from her! Especially since she hadn't eaten it in over a year.

8:21 am

rururocks

What is paprikash?

8:22 am

zoozzoom

hahaha us men never learn lol

8:22 am

MimiCat

At dinner she just opened up and talked about what she had been doing and it was great. I missed my daughter but I also missed her as my girl friend...we were always great buddies.

8:23 am

zoozzoom

Sounds like the relationship is well on the road of being mended.

8:23 am

MimiCat

It's a Hungarian dish originally, ruru, but I have modified it to something quite different. It's basically a tomato and sour cream sauce with onions, mushrooms, bay leaves and paprika served over fettucine.

8:23 am

rururocks

Excellent. Makes for a better holiday for you

8:24 am

rururocks

Oh

8:24 am

MimiCat

You know zooz, I simply decided that the past is the past and just to move forward. No matter how hard we may try, we cannot change the past, so best to just let it go. I hope she feels the same.

8:25 am

rururocks

Never heard of it before

8:25 am

zoozzoom

Sounds like good advice, Mimi.

Her dad (my ex) is coming over this weekend and I'm putting him to work helping me with some household stuff.

hello everyone :)

I just remembered why I don't like tangerines. There's more seeds than edible fruit.

11:47 am

Dorens

and precisely why i do like clementines... no (or very few) seeds and even sweeter than tangerines
and Hello Annie

11:48 am

Anniebrook

Hello dorens and Judi

11:48 am

Anniebrook

Eating a comice pear right now

11:50 am

Dorens

eating a salad with too much dressing on it. yucch

11:51 am

Anniebrook

goopy

11:51 am

Dorens

and nasty in my mouth, even tho the dressing would be fine if not too much

11:52 am

Anniebrook

Well, that paints a pretty picture (lol), throw it away

11:52 am

Anniebrook

what kind of dressing?

11:53 am

Dorens

that would have been smart. it is some champagne vinaigrette from trader joe's that my daughter recommended. I usually make my own, and prefer my own, but in a pinch this works. i'm at work and forgot to bring my own in

11:54 am

Anniebrook

I usually make my own vinaigrette. I play with the ingredients and everyone says they like it

11:55 am

Dorens

it really does taste better... i vary the vinegar.. sometimes balsamic, sometimes, sherry, sometimes white wine, red wine... and the amount of garlic and mustard..

11:55 am

Anniebrook

yummy

11:56 am

Dorens

i make it every week and bring some in to school, but it's sitting on my kitchen counter at home right now. been too busy to remember what i usually do by rote

11:57 am

Anniebrook

has the weather affected the school openings?

11:57 am

Dorens

made rum cake for teacher's luncheon on wednesday.. brownies for bake sale today.

11:57 am

Dorens

we had a delayed opening last week, other than that normal school here..

rum cake sounds wonderful...so does brownies

another case for buying olive oil and vinegars by the gallon............. my son , walter, makes salad dressing. he has been doing it for 20 years...... each family member has their favorite of his blends of ingredients . he started writing down what he used and numbering it. all our glass jars are saved for his numbered blends .. another added fun thing for family gatherings

Anniebrook

they say snow for friday night-maybe into saturday. see what happens tomorrow. are you driving into the city?

11:59 am

Dorens

yup/ and that sounds look a good idea sm

12:00 pm

Anniebrook

Where do you park? Garage or are you lucky to find something on the street?

12:01 pm

Dorens

depends on the area... W. 34th st tomorrow.... won't find anything on the street there. I've learned to print coupons before I go and the garages are much cheaper that way. there's a website

12:01 pm

sammysmom

yep dorens .. and we make our own of everything that we can... no added preservatives or chemicals.. makes us feel so virtuous and tastes better too.. heh heh

12:02 pm

Anniebrook

dorens, what is the website?

12:02 pm

Dorens

absolutely ... i make my own vegetable broth.. my kids think i'm crazy but i save all the peelings, skins, etc and keep them in the freezer... once a week or so i put them in a pot with water, maybe more celery,onion, carrots, crushed red pepper and voila

12:03 pm

Anniebrook

that's smart, I might start that too and I bet it is a delicious broth too, as broths go

12:03 pm

Dorens

nyc.bestparking.com i think, and icon and central each have their own too. i usually check all three of them.. there's a search engine. you put in the neighborhood, the date, and hours in and out that you expect. they give you choices and some good prices

12:04 pm

Dorens

oh yes it is so much better. (mushrooms give it an earthiness.... i've heard that you can add a bit of soy sauce too). red onion skins make it such a nice color

12:05 pm

Anniebrook

thanks for the websites, wrote them down. will use them.

12:08 pm

Dorens

kay. stay warm annie... gotta go work now

Guys. I don't want to be cluttering up the chog, so I have just changed my profile blog. If people have the time to have a read of it & get back to me.... I would be most appreciative.

5:29 pm

car.eeyore

Oh Sweetheart....be thankful and enjoy! Someone is passing on God's grace to you for all you and your children have been through. If it would help, take 10% of that and donate it to a cause you wish to support.

5:29 pm

car.eeyore

I think it is lovely!

5:30 pm

car.eeyore

It renews my faith that there are still "angels" out there!

5:30 pm

MimiCat

Soodle, if this person chooses to be kind to you, it is a win-win situation. That person gets to feel good and so do you. Please....ENJOY IT!!

Hi MimiCat!

MimiCat

One thing I have learned is that most of us deserve much more than we get, so when we get a little extra in any way, it's time to celebrate!

5:31 pm

car.eeyore

Soodle.. I had no idea what you were going through. I thought you were amazing before, but no even more so!

5:32 pm

sallyds

What Mimi said. You can pass on some of it if you feel really guilty but I don't think you need to.

5:33 pm

car.eeyore

Can someone please help me with the AJ's?

5:34 pm

MimiCat

I have no idea, car!

5:34 pm

How about the AD?

5:40 pm

Soodle

Thanks for your input guys. As I said, we are not on the bread line, so I donated the money to a charity who helps the homeless. But my faith in the goodness of random humans has been restored. I am humbled.

6:26 pm

Lizlin

Sounds very yummy! I'll join you in a toast to that big C remaining far far away!

6:28 pm

crosshair

I started typing that drink out and suddenly thought that you must be in hot weather now and would rather have one of my famous long island iced teas

6:29 pm

Lizlin

That also sounds good - of course it's 10.28 am here - a bit early for alcohol! Also 30 C right now, so an iced tea would be lovely! But I do like the sound of mulled cider too!

6:29 pm

Lizlin

And a special toast to continuing good health can be made at any time of day!

6:30 pm

An ex-colleague of mine (FB friend rather than close friend now) has just finished 3 sessions of chemo and is waiting for results of scan (January) to know whether he's clear of testicular cancer, so it's really great to hear your news and I hope that he's as lucky.

9:26 pm

Jacula

pa5.12 (1st) is a Latin or Greek song of praise to Apollo.

9:27 pm

Jacula

pa6.21 that follows is the plural.

9:27 pm

penquis

the song of praise is probably the one you need...

Thanks so much, Jacula and pen.

9:35 pm

penquis

it is like the country to the north but starts with p...

9:35 pm

Jacula

gapeach - Are you talking about pa6.24? If so, it's the black and white bear with one extra vowel inside, and it rhymes with a country associated with maple leaves.

9:35 pm

Jacula

It's a thich bread sauce, btw.

9:36 pm

gapeach

Thanks, have it now..pen and Jacula.

It's gone very quiet. Perhaps it's time to wander off.

9:59 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for ta6-21? Thanks

10:00 pm

Jacula

gap - ta6.21 is a venomous snake from Australia.

10:01 pm

Jacula

ta7.32 is the plural.

10:01 pm

penquis

it's also the name of a James Clavell novel set in Japan...

10:02 pm

Jacula

It sounds like an item of male neckwear + something you'd cook on the hob in.

10:02 pm

penquis

animals often have ***ls but humans don't + a cooking container is a ***.....
