jbp

maybe you shouldn't answer that

12:43 am

torgone

I can bear having a cold - gives you an excuse to sleep more .. But after a few weeks it's not welcome any more ..

12:44 am

jbp

trudat

12:44 am

jbp

and if you've had it a few weeks (aren't you somewhere sunny, tor?) then perhaps it's time to invest in some 'airborne' vitamins

1:12 am

grannyrose

i hate it when that happens. i lie there, thinking, well what now? i usually end up having a conversation with the man upstairs.

1:13 am

puglet

Ive done done that--lol--several times as a matter of fact

1:14 am

grannyrose

so, by extending that thought, no, i don't hate it, because i get to talk, undisturbed. which is good, right?

1:14 am

puglet

I watched the movie Burlesque twice in a row now-lol

1:15 am

puglet

1:19 am

1:20 am

puglet

1:20 am

grannyrose

1:21 am

puglet

1:22 am

puglet

1:23 am

1:24 am

puglet

1:24 am

grannyrose

if the worm can't/won't elp, i'm sure one of the gentlemen from church can step in and help.

1:24 am

grannyrose

egad,,,that was...Help....

1:25 am

puglet

he knows less than I do about stuff like that--lol

1:26 am

grannyrose

1:26 am

puglet

1:29 am

grannyrose

1:31 am

puglet

you just learned something new about Don--lol

1:31 am

grannyrose

1:33 am

grannyrose

1:34 am

puglet

grannyrose

how's the sister doing?

1:59 am

puglet

she doing good. Its been so she can get out to walk so that helps alot

2:01 am

puglet

I think she sometimes gets upset with me for making her walk but if I didnt she would lose herself to her mind and people inside her

2:02 am

grannyrose

that's such good news, pugs. makes it a little easier for you, yeah?

2:02 am

puglet

it does but its more so for her

2:02 am

grannyrose

tell her it's to help you with your health issues.

6:03 am

rubyfoo

We are very lucky

6:03 am

rubyfoo

Will probably get a sh**load of snow in March

6:04 am

6:05 am

crosshair

we will even dream of it till end of march

6:05 am

crosshair

6:06 am

rubyfoo

this is truly crazy weather. In the first few years here , we had big snowstorms pkus occasional icestorms. |None of either, now

6:07 am

rubyfoo

I find it very scary, suc a big chage n oy 15 yrs

6:08 am

crosshair

as Canadians we whine and moan about our winters now and then, but if we were suddenly living where there was never any snow, I think many of us would get homesick fast

6:08 am

rubyfoo

and, at the same time, my typing deteriorates much too fast. I thnk it's my left pinkie....

6:09 am

rubyfoo

We need serious ground frosts to kill all the bad bacteria. Everybody is sick here.

6:09 am

crosshair

does not bother me, ruby. I can read you well. a good babbler can translate most typos and not hold forth over every one that pops up:)

6:10 am

rubyfoo

you ar enevr one to hold forth or be critical, hence all the love headed your way!

6:10 am

crosshair

we have been very lucky. we all had our flu shots in November and no one in the house has gotten anything nasty this year

6:12 am

crosshair

now saying that I know many families who despite getting the shot have had their children in emerge for bad colds/flu with breathing issues

6:12 am

rubyfoo

crosshair

huh.. Here I am sipping tea, playing babble, and editing and essay assignment in a secondary window on my desktop, all at the same time. There is no hope at all for word junkies, I fear.

6:38 am

rubyfoo

there is hope for us, crossy, word junkies are going obsolete, fast

6:38 am

rubyfoo

and I can even do a lot of it in Fr. Today had ato write a sympathy note and could!

6:39 am

crosshair

i envy you your skill with a second language

6:39 am

rubyfoo

I had no choice, since husband refuses to speak Fr

6:40 am

rubyfoo

and no neighbors speak a word of English. I've taught our various housekeepers all the swear words in English

6:43 am

rubyfoo

vision is also deteriorating,,,,

6:43 am

rubyfoo

in the evenings, I play scrabble, and fruently can't see the numbers

sometimes i repair them, sometimes i think" read it or not" matters not to me

6:44 am

I just started this grid, but am I correct it has sharp teeth?

6:55 am

crosshair

only thing i do not buy there is books. since i do not use kindle, i can get my books anywhere since my tablet is a open source format and for dead tree books as my son calls them, i love biblio.com

6:56 am

crosshair

it has teeth. long sharp ones

6:57 am

MimiCat

Another fantastic site for books is Alibris. They have many hard to find and out of print books and the prices are amazing. You can get many paperbacks for 99 cents. The textbook I got for my Sociology class was $124 at school book store but I got it, slightly used, for $8 at Alibris.

6:58 am

crosshair

mm, do not know that one,will look at it

6:59 am

crosshair

yes, i helped a friend get several of those windows 7 for dummies books that are regularly 40 dollars each for 6 dollars apiece inc tax. Just the covers had some small tears, but otherwise fine

6:59 am

MimiCat

Crossy, don't know if you saw a few days ago what I posted but Netflix now has one of my favorite movies of ALL time...Same Time, Next Year..for streaming. I know every line of dialog but I still watch it and still laugh and cry.

7:00 am

crosshair

:)) i love my netflix

7:00 am

MimiCat

The song is just too beautiful and the scenery breathtaking, especially at the end.

7:00 am

crosshair

makes me wish i had dumped my expensive cable programming sooner

7:01 am

MimiCat

Have you seen this movie?

7:01 am

crosshair

we tossed the cable in sept. and have saved, by my count $500.00 on cable expense

7:01 am

crosshair

no, i have not seen that one

7:02 am

MimiCat

It's about a couple who meet, have an affair (both are married to others) and then meet the same weekend every year for decades. It's very sweet and they show news clips for different decades in between.

7:03 am

MimiCat

Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn star. Beautifully written and acted. You and your wife should really watch it..you'll be so glad you did.

7:04 am

crosshair

7:05 am

MimiCat

It was a Broadway play many years ago.

7:06 am

7:26 am

ladycece920

LOL, I remember those days; you wonder what happened!

7:27 am

crosshair

Yes, every student should have a plaque with that advice.

ladycece920

you can only look at it so many times before you ruin it!

7:32 am

crosshair

I actually printed that one out in fancy script and it is taped to my computer desk. that one and this one as well: " I love deadlines. I love the whoosing sound they make as they pass by"

7:32 am

crosshair

indeed, lady. I write what i think is my final, let it steep overnight and edit twice the next day and print it

7:33 am

ladycece920

and get a good grade I'm sure!

7:33 am

crosshair

go over it too may times and you can mess up the tense or mix up second or thrird person

hi scrabs.. .hows the bunny?

8:12 am

Scrabbler

She is about the same, maybe a tad less wobbly, but her head is twisted 90 degrees to the left. She is eating on her own which is very reassuring.

8:13 am

jmcnrick

oh dear well i will hold her in the light. . . what an odd sad sickness. . .

8:13 am

Scrabbler

I dealt with this in another bunny in 2000 and got him through it.

8:14 am

jmcnrick

well i am glad to he** there is hope. . . I know how dear they each are to you. . .

8:15 am

8:25 am

dan2bit

firewords! tx all cluers al6/24 jewish immigration was my last

8:26 am

Scrabbler

Bunny MIss Beatrix Potter developed head tilt. It is a vestibular condition that rabbits can get. It developed abruptly Monday night--twisted head, jiggly eyes, poor balance.

8:26 am

Scrabbler

Yay, Dan. Enjoy the day with your ladies.

8:26 am

crosshair

:((

8:26 am

crosshair

yaaa for dan! can you clue that one please?

8:27 am

dan2bit

al + vowel + plaything backwards

8:27 am

Scrabbler

So, I am giving her several meds and waiting. I had a rabbit with this in 2000 and it took 5 wks for him to be able to balance and hop, although he had a residual head tilt.

8:28 am

hurshy

oh, cats can get it too, mitten had that same thing

8:28 am

dan2bit

there is also al + vowel + speak backwards

8:28 am

hurshy

something to do with the inner ear that is totally inexplicable

8:29 am

hurshy

only we didn't do any meds, just held her up so she could drink and eat.

8:30 am

hurshy

cause they said it isn't a virus or a bacteria or a fungus or a parasite or anything identifiable like that so i didn't think there were any meds to do

8:31 am

Scrabbler

Hurshy, I didn't know cats could get it too.

8:32 am

Scrabbler

There is much debate about the cause in bunnies--bacterial vs protozoa, so 2 meds being used are antibacterial and antiparasitic.

8:32 am

hurshy

it sounds like the same thing. i was so terrified, just woke up one morning and mitten couldn't get out of bed, i thought all her muscles had suddenly deteriorated or something! and she was only like 3 or 4, i don't know, rather young. but then it turned out no big deal, and she's rather cute with the bit of residual head tilt.

8:33 am

hurshy

gives her a permanently quizzical air

8:33 am

Scrabbler

It is horrifying to see. Miss Bea was flopping all over because she lost her ability to balance, and her head was twisted and eyes were jiggly.

8:33 am

periwinkle

good morning all. I am having a bellini with breakfast.

8:34 am

Scrabbler

Hi Periwinkle. What is a bellini?

8:34 am

periwinkle

help with 6 letter words pls. I have at and al

8:34 am

hurshy

there are 2 al

8:34 am

Scrabbler

Dan clued them below.

8:34 am

periwinkle

peach nectar or peach schnapps with champagne. I like them better than a mimosa.

8:34 am

hurshy

the other one ends with the first section of the bible

8:34 am

periwinkle

I used peach nectar

8:35 am

MollyL

All right! Peri starts her Saturday in style : )

8:35 am

hurshy

so, nothing like a blini

8:36 am

MollyL

No, but you could have blinis with your Bellini.

8:38 am

hurshy

drink enough and nobody will be able to tell which of them you are asking for more of

8:39 am

periwinkle

dan clued the 6's I already have.

8:39 am

periwinkle

anyone want champagne or a bellini. there is more in the fridge.

8:39 am

periwinkle

ice and snow are meltn!!

8:39 am

periwinkle

8:40 am

I have at6 and al6. what am I missing?

8:41 am

Lizlin

Al 6 x 2 and sa 6

i CLUED you the SECOND al when you ASKED

8:42 am

periwinkle

I did not see it hurshy.

8:43 am

periwinkle

I see it now but bible clues go right over my head

8:43 am

hurshy

that's a real simple one though

8:43 am

Lizlin

Sa 6/18 - salt water with a different vowel ending

8:43 am

8:45 am

Lizlin

Not new testament

8:46 am

Lizlin

Hebrew plural

8:46 am

hurshy

don't say hebrew plural, now she'll mix that up in her head with the other clues and think it's hard

8:46 am

periwinkle

I have al5/6.

8:47 am

hurshy

yes you just need to change the ending of the al6, the last two letters are the abbreviation for the first half of the bible like i've been saying.

8:47 am

Lizlin

Ok - so take that as unsaid! 2 x al 6 are very similar to each other.

8:48 am

Lizlin

And now so as not to create more confusion and because it's almost 1 am, I'll say goodnight :)

8:48 am

hurshy

lol, night liz

10:53 am

car.eeyore

God help me...matt is in cleaning mode. Go clean the F-ing garage so I can park my car in there!!!!!

10:53 am

Trifioso

its a particular brand of dress....free people, or some such - only carried in certain stores, I guess

10:53 am

Trifioso

how are you, ruru?

10:54 am

Trifioso

and I lied - valentine is a stupid moron right now.....hope he snaps out of it, and damn soon.

10:54 am

rururocks

oh... moron doesn't sound good

10:55 am

rururocks

I''m fine

10:55 am

ch1212

There's a great website for parents to share photos (with the explanation) of why their kid is throwing a tantrum ... I think we need one for the looks our teenagers give at times ... http://www.reasonsmysoniscrying.com/

10:55 am

Trifioso

what kind of car?

10:55 am

rururocks

a new Audi

10:56 am

Trifioso

I saw that ch1212! Its HILARIOUS!

10:56 am

car.eeyore

LOL! Will have to check that one out!

10:56 am

car.eeyore

Nice ruru!

10:56 am

Trifioso

wow, a new audi! go ruru! red? silver? stealthy black?

10:56 am

rururocks

not sure.. it's hard to tell the colors on line

10:57 am

rururocks

BLack is a for sure no and Red too

10:57 am

Trifioso

I think my favorite was the kid completely losing his sh*t because he didn't want to share the leg hole of the shopping cart....oh, I remember THAT well!

10:57 am

rururocks

most likely grey or blueish

10:57 am

ch1212

I mention it trif because your post about prom dress shopping reminded me of identical moments with my teenager way back when. Sounds like nothing has changed.

Yes, that one is great!

10:57 am

car.eeyore

My legs were longer...I need the space!

10:57 am

cybernan

good morning, all :)

10:57 am

Trifioso

grey is always a good choice, as it never looks dirty. but there are some really good blues out there

10:58 am

Trifioso

10:58 am

Trifioso

good morning cyber

10:58 am

car.eeyore

Hi Cyber!

10:58 am

car.eeyore

LOL! I remember fighting with YOU over it!

10:58 am

Trifioso

oh, trust me, ch1212, she can throw one major tantrum. I might just take a picture of the next one...what an excellent black mail tool!

10:58 am

MollyL

I know this is probably a stupid question, but if she saw something on line, why not order it on line?

10:58 am

car.eeyore

Found a puppy I want.....

10:59 am

car.eeyore

Finland is killing us :(

10:59 am

Trifioso

hmmmm. I wonder if I am the one throwing a tantrum with valentine right know.....

10:59 am

car.eeyore

Needs to be tried on Molly! Too many issues with dresses coming from online that are horrible fits.

10:59 am

ch1212

I used to wonder 'where did she learn that from?' then remembered oh yeah, I used to be a teenager too! :D

10:59 am

rururocks

molly ... prey animals hunt prey.. women hunt clothes and shoes.. it's always that simple

11:00 am

Trifioso

excellent question, molly! She wants to try it on first, and check on colors and such. the color she wants is no longer available on line, but might be in a store somewhere, and hopefully one store can call around to see if others have it

11:00 am

Trifioso

DO NOT GET A PUPPY CAR!

11:00 am

MollyL

*Not a shopper*

11:00 am

Trifioso

11:05 am

Trifioso

glad something is going right today

11:06 am

Trifioso

im so of two minds about valentine....part of me wants to just ignore him for a good long while....but that's hardly the mature way to handle things, is it? but I also don't want to blink first. which I suppose isn't so mature either

11:06 am

MollyL

Poor Trif. Boyfriend drama and teenage angst all in one day.

11:06 am

Trifioso

dating is SO HARD at this age

11:07 am

rururocks

yep.. I hear that

11:07 am

rururocks

hopefully valentine is at this age too :D

11:08 am

Trifioso

nah, Im not quite poor trif...just really wanting to get this right. hes a good guy. we had a fight. it happens. but I want to go forward better than we were, and not sure how to handle same. its a tricky business

11:08 am

Trifioso

hahaha ruru!

11:08 am

jesdraggon

tell him that in those words, trif.

11:09 am

Trifioso

hes actually a bit older than me. chronologically, anyway. at the moment, I think he is a spoiled 16 year old boy :)

11:09 am

rururocks

how old is a bit

11:09 am

Trifioso

hes almost 9 years older

11:09 am

rururocks

that's a pretty big jump

11:09 am

Trifioso

oh no, sorry, 8.

11:10 am

Trifioso

its okay.

11:11 am

Trifioso

it really only means his kids are older than mine, and he was married longer. Oh, and he is inordinately fond of 70s funk (eyeroll)

11:11 am

rururocks

can't you meet him half way with Motown?

11:11 am

cybernan

sa 6, please?

11:11 am

Trifioso

hahaha - sure

11:11 am

rururocks

11:12 am

jesdraggon

2:47 pm

MollyL

King Cake first TO, then soda bread. : )

2:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

2:48 pm

bichon

2:48 pm

bichon

Late, so a late Easter and Passover

2:51 pm

MollyL

Easter was insanely early last year. A week after St. Patrick's Day.

2:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh yes, i remember.

2:52 pm

bichon

Now I have to wait til mid-April to buy my Matzah supply for the year

2:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

lillian, i just saw a recipe for a nasian dish black vinegar pork. made me think of your recipe

2:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

bich, can't you buy it all year long?

2:54 pm

MollyL

I wait for the after Passover sales to buy macaroons.

2:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

i loved goodman's egg matzo but goodmans was bought out and the others just are not the same taste.

2:57 pm

bichon

I want to buy four 5 lb boxes. My favorite is Streits, but I usually buy Aviv made in Israel

2:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh, goodmans...at least i am saved from another cholesterol laden treat. buttered matzo. with apple butter on top , even better.

2:59 pm

MollyL

And it stays fresh for a whole year?

3:00 pm

bichon

Yes, they're sealed in 5 lb boxes. We love the stuff and when my daughter and granddaughter come over they eat lots of it

3:04 pm

bichon

3:04 pm

MollyL

MollyL

sa6 is like a not pepper word, but with a different last vowel

3:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

i use smart balance cooking oil when not needing olive oil flavor

3:04 pm

bichon

I use it instead of margarine or butter [as a spread]

3:06 pm

MollyL

I gave up using margarine or any other manufactured spreads after reading what is in them.

3:07 pm

bichon

Molly, don't know the hot pepper word. Can you reclue pls

3:08 pm

MollyL

No, not hot pepper, not pepper, as in what is in the OTHER shaker

3:09 pm

MollyL

You put sa6 drops in your eyes. Change the last vowel.

Hi s.mere...

6:48 pm

Hi rurur. We're enjoying gray day with no rain. Tide is out and gulls are picking up clams and crabs (little guys) for their dinner.

6:50 pm

rururocks

Sounds nice

6:51 pm

stidgmere

Pretty calm water today. Grebes are back and they swim with scaups.

6:52 pm

rururocks

I didn't realize you were that close to the ocean

6:53 pm

stidgmere

The Sound, Puget Sound. Like a lake with tides but salty.

6:53 pm

rururocks

I wish I had a cottage near the water

6:55 pm

stidgmere

Great until the oceans rise and/or tsunamis hit. We also have Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens as visual reminders of the beauty/danger reality.

6:57 pm

rururocks

I lived in Oregon when mt.st.helens..blew

6:58 pm

stidgmere

The dust from St Helens was such an unfriendly thing. We didn't drive until the dust settled and a week later we got a drift of the dust that made us empathize with the Pompiians.

6:59 pm

rururocks

Yeah I used to have to buy nylons to cover the air filter in my car to drive

7:01 pm

stidgmere

We are told it might snow tonight and/or tomorrow. We have four-wheeled drive and if needed can get out. Usually it is better to wait a day and go out when it is melted.

7:02 pm

rururocks

It is beautiful here..but I think we are getting your rainstorm
