3:26 am
scouser
hi puglet
3:26 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Scouser!
3:26 am
scouser
zooz did you avoid the floods?
3:27 am
zoozzoom
Lots of flooding on the island but i am ok here...thank goodness....How about yourself?
3:27 am
puglet
I have a small camping area and most every week end during the nice weather my girlfriend and her hubby comes and we do things together
3:28 am
scouser
all well here. there were spectacular waves in the Mersey though
3:28 am
zoozzoom
That sounds wonderful, Pugs...would love to sit round a camp fire with friends!
3:28 am
scouser
whereabouts are you pugs?
3:29 am
zoozzoom
Yes i can imagine, Scouser, hope you took some photos?
3:29 am
puglet
you'de be welcome to join anytine you want Zoom
3:29 am
puglet
Iam in the mid-west of Indiana
3:29 am
zoozzoom
Aww thanks, Pugs :-)
3:30 am
scouser
I didn't as on those windy days little me would have been blown off my feet
3:30 am
zoozzoom
Ye i too get blown about when any big winds blow as i am thin as a rake...lol
3:31 am
zoozzoom
ye = yes
3:32 am
scouser
zoo "stand sideways and get marked absent"?
3:33 am
zoozzoom
hahahahah you have seen me then..lol
3:34 am
scouser
no I haven't. ..
3:35 am
zoozzoom
Thats because i was stood sideways :-)
3:35 am
scouser
I just reminded myself of your wonderful "blessed are those who can laugh at themselves..... " on your profile. I have that statement pinned on the wall here.
3:36 am
scouser
got to get the apostrophes correct - no greengrocer's here
3:37 am
zoozzoom
I am not very good at apostrophes i admit..but i do try....but find it very hard...i even have books on the subject, but i tend to get lost after a while..lol
3:37 am
puglet
brb--coffee refill needed
3:39 am
zoozzoom
Don't forget the biscuits, Pugs :-)
3:40 am
scouser
the only real problem with apostrophe is in "it's" and "its" where the latter is a possessive without the ap** and the first one is for a missing letter i and should never appear in any technical or formal writing. Otherwise, possessives only.
3:41 am
scouser
by the way, what are you going to have in the PB, zoom?
3:42 am
zoozzoom
I am sure i am fine with that one.It's the more advanced ones i struggle with remembering.
3:43 am
zoozzoom
Let me think........I hope to find in the PB....some pan au chocolat..i do like those :-)
3:44 am
scouser
OK buns it is then
3:50 am
puglet
sorry no bisquits but you are welcome to some toast with the coffee or tea, I believe is your choice of drink if I remember right
3:51 am
zoozzoom
Oh yes i do like a cup of tea :-)
3:52 am
zoozzoom
Do you drink filter coffee, Pugs? Or is it instant.
3:53 am
puglet
instant Zoom
3:54 am
zoozzoom
I must confess i am not keen on instant..but i do not drink coffee often to be honest.
3:55 am
puglet
with having rusty in our water a coffeepot does not last long here
3:55 am
zoozzoom
You have rust in your water?
3:57 am
puglet
I drink tea now and then---My sister is the tea drinker here. She dont ask for much and I make sure to keep her tea shelf full of different flavors--which is about fifty I think--lol
3:57 am
puglet
yes --I have well water
3:58 am
zoozzoom
Oh my, Pugs, Have thought about buying a water filter jug..that would take the nasty stuff out of the water?
3:59 am
zoozzoom
Now that is a lot of different teas..i take it most of them are herbal teas?
4:01 am
puglet
Ive been here so long Iam use to it-----------------Some are---whatever is new on the shelf at the market I get for her. She likes all those flavored teas. Iam not crazy about most of them and I dont like flavored coffees either.
4:03 am
puglet
If I drink a cup of tea, I usually drink one called pearl black tea---and one called carmel vanilla
4:03 am
zoozzoom
No i am not keen on flavoured teas or herbal teas either.And i do not have anything but so called normal flavoured coffee..lol
4:05 am
zoozzoom
Years ago i would have to have a tea strainer to make sure there was no no tea leafs in the bottom of the cup...now i just have the tea bags which they consist of just tea dust..lol
4:06 am
puglet
thats all we have too, is just the bag tea
4:06 am
zoozzoom
Twinings are supposed to be a good brand for tea.
4:06 am
puglet
on the news just now a whole family of 6 parished in a housefire---so sad
4:07 am
zoozzoom
Oh that is sad news, Pugs. Is that near you?
4:08 am
puglet
I dont know that Ive seen that brand here--will have to look next time---and buy some if so, so that if you come to camp then you can enjoy while sitting at the campfire
4:08 am
zoozzoom
And PB for me for the NE4
4:09 am
puglet
in the capital city, which is about fifty miles or so from me---but still very sad
4:09 am
zoozzoom
With some toasted marshmallows :-)
4:09 am
puglet
of couse Zoom, those giant ones at that--lol
4:11 am
zoozzoom
Wonder what songs we would all sing...maybe...lets think....errm...smoke gets in your eyes..lol
4:11 am
puglet
when I use to camp with my horses, we would got to missourii for a 2 week stay and some lady there made a hot apple cider drink with rum and cin. sticks--was very good
4:12 am
zoozzoom
That sounds like a nice toddy!
4:12 am
puglet
you can sing whatever floats your boat--lol
4:12 am
zoozzoom
Not heard that song, Pugs...Teehee!
4:12 am
puglet
Iam not keen on apple cider but it was good
4:13 am
zoozzoom
I love horses...but have never ridden one.
4:13 am
puglet
well I guess you will have to become a song writter then
4:15 am
puglet
I loved camping with them in missiouri---so much fun---we paid a up front fee there and all the eats were free and so on----and on sunday we would have a open church service up beside the hills
4:18 am
zoozzoom
I was watching this program a long time ago and it was showing you how to make a horse like you so you can stroke it...And this man goes into the field with these kind of wild horses and then turns his back on them..and they start to come forward..and you have to keep your back turned on them..and eventually the horse takes to you..not sure how it works..but i did try it on some horses in the fields near here and it works!
4:19 am
zoozzoom
Now when i go to the field the horse comes trotting over...i give the horse some carrots as a treat..lol
4:19 am
puglet
sounds like the horse whisper----why havent you ever went riding Zoom
4:20 am
zoozzoom
never taken the time to try..i used to work a lot with two jobs plus out with friends just never got round to it..lol
4:20 am
puglet
you must have a trusting nature Zoom that they pick up on from you---thats really good
4:21 am
puglet
well its never too late but prepare to be sore for a while--lol
4:21 am
zoozzoom
I am a very friendly person...hate to think i have upset anyone..i am rather sensitive i suppose.
4:22 am
zoozzoom
Yes lol i have seen many people on horse bobbong up and down..and i used to tthink that must hurt after a while..lol
4:22 am
puglet

4:23 am
puglet
well you arnt suppose to bob but go with the flow-lol
4:23 am
zoozzoom
not sure what the difference is to be honest..but here always legs apart over the horse on saddle hands on rein..horse hat and other gear.
4:24 am
zoozzoom
Nah these people are bobbing up and down like a fiddlers elbow...they do not know how to ride a horse then..lol
4:24 am
puglet
english saddles have no horn--we7 is cowboy type saddles
4:25 am
zoozzoom
Oh i see..as far as i can tell there is no horn or lump on the end of the saddle.
4:25 am
puglet
riding english you do post and that is going up and down with the rhymn of the horse
4:25 am
zoozzoom
And they do not shout out Yeeha either..lol
4:26 am
puglet
Ive never ridden english but just w7
4:26 am
scouser
I guess if you are going to spend all day on the horse then trotting with bouncing is out of the question.
4:27 am
puglet
I think you should try it sometime
4:27 am
o-o
riding a horse without a trumpet is sensible
4:27 am
zoozzoom
OK so what makes a difference with the riding styles?
4:27 am
puglet
morning OO
4:27 am
zoozzoom
LOL hello, o-o :-)
4:27 am
scouser
hello o-o
4:28 am
puglet
well the w7 saddle has a horn in front of you to hold on too and the english saddle is rather flat
4:29 am
zoozzoom
I see shows what i know..i thought you just held onto the reins...i can see i would be no good on a horse..lol
4:29 am
puglet
but as you learn to ride you dont need to use the horn---the horn was actualy put on there for roping purposes
4:29 am
zoozzoom
Ah that would make sense.
4:30 am
scouser
hello o-o I just took a look at your profile - now that really is on the other side of the world to here. You need a very large helloooooooooooooooo !
4:30 am
puglet
you have to learn Zoom and as you do, thats all you need is the reins---but at first ballance is needed to work on
4:31 am
puglet
and its not to late for you to learn at all and I bet you would do just fine
4:32 am
scouser
I should think the horse would prefer lightweight riders too
4:32 am
zoozzoom
Yes agreed..but i would have to pay for it and alas i am a bit short on funds...now i had to buy a new washing machine.
4:32 am
zoozzoom
hehehe thanks, Scouser :-)
4:33 am
scouser
in UK riding is an expensive hobby and owning a horse is more expensive than owning a car
4:33 am
zoozzoom
I do love going to the fields though and patting the horses and saying hello bla bla blah...but it is nice.
4:33 am
puglet
Zoom, maybe someone there would like for you to exercise their horses and it wouldnt cost you anything
4:34 am
scouser
are you there o-o ??
4:34 am
zoozzoom
Very expensive, Scouser.
4:34 am
puglet
yes their upkeep isnt cheap
4:35 am
zoozzoom
When the warmer weather arrives i might pluck up the courage and ask.
4:36 am
puglet
since I live among the amish--there is horses every where and they farm here with them too
4:37 am
scouser
pugs are the Amish still in an earlier century, or can they use the web etc?
4:37 am
puglet
I love watching the workhorses do their stuff--they are so big and powerful
4:38 am
puglet
none have electric in their homes here and modern things are a no no
4:38 am
scouser
zooz you do that - no harm in asking
4:40 am
zoozzoom
Have seen a program on the amish and the youger ones start to rebel.They are then cast out of the group and even their parents want nothing to do with them.
4:40 am
scouser
I suppose the store and the bank must be their interface with the "outside world".?
4:41 am
puglet

4:42 am
rubyfoo
popping in to invite everyone for dinner Making a huge NY/Neapolitan style lasagna, trying to make it as well as my beloved mother
4:42 am

Interesting that casting out is the same remedy for bad behaviour in both cultures - we should all follow the western pacific idea of a "Long House" to which teenagers are banished during their awkward years.
4:42 am
puglet

4:43 am

4:43 am
zoozzoom
On the way down this way, Scouser, i will join you..lol
4:43 am
rubyfoo
yu;d be welome, scouser! There will be enough for a small army and it's just the two of us
4:44 am
scouser
I like it cold next day too, in slices (well, assuming it is the fairly solid type)
4:44 am
rubyfoo
Italian sausage in the meat sauce with lots of spices and fresh and canned tomatoes. Ricotta and mozzarella cheeses and grates fresh parmesan on top
4:44 am
rubyfoo
I hope it's as good as what my mother used to make
4:44 am
zoozzoom
Oh my..my mouth is watering well here.
4:45 am
rubyfoo
It's easier and cheaper, to fly to Geneva and rent a car or take a bus
4:45 am
rubyfoo
The train is VVERY expensive and nly gets you to Paris, almost 5 hrs away
4:45 am
scouser
Tut - too late for the TGV. Tell us two days in advance next time Ruby. that's made me so hungry now.
4:45 am

Enjoy, Ruby.
4:47 am

there is no train service between Geneva and Annecy which is a shame but the TGV to Paris takes about 4 hrs
4:48 am
scouser
I can fly direct from L'pool to Geneva. 2 hrs. I must organise a visit to my Swissi cousin near Lausanne.
4:48 am

OK i too need to depart..nice walk to see parents and annoy them for a few hours...Nice chatting to you, Pugs & Scouser..until next time..Toodle pips.

Metaphorical thinking is at the heart of the human experience. When we encounter something new and unfamiliar—or try to make sense out of something that is not well understood—we often benefit from relating it to something we know well. And when great writers or thinkers have attempted to describe or explain something in a compelling or unforgettable way, their chief tool has been metaphorical phrasing. It is the key to elevating human language from the prosaic to the poetic. William Cullen Bryant expressed it well (and, of course, he phrased it metaphorically):
“Eloquence is the poetry of prose.â€

Good day to all.

Hi Liz. How has Wednesday been?
5:42 am
Lizlin
Wednesday was beautiful here - warm sunny day. Hope it'll be the same for you!
5:43 am
Scrabbler
Looks like we got some fresh snow. Everything is white. It's beautiful.
5:44 am
Lizlin
I remember snow - beautiful when it falls, slushy and icy after that! A pain to drive in! LOL!
5:44 am
Scrabbler
Caution is needed whn driving. And extra time.
5:45 am
Lizlin
True - in England they were never prepared for snow, so my last 2 experiences were driving home from work. A 40 minute journey took 6 hours and I had to abandon my car and walk the last mile!
5:46 am
Scrabbler
Oh, no!
5:47 am
Lizlin
Then the next year the same journey took about 5 hours but at least i got all the way home!
5:47 am
Lizlin
Then there are the maniacs that decide to drive on the pavement in order to get wherever a bit faster!
5:47 am
Scrabbler
I live in "snow country", across the valley is a ski resort, so we are always prepared.
5:47 am
Lizlin
because the traffic's at a standstill! No, can't say I miss snow!
5:48 am
Lizlin
I'm sure that it's very manageable generally in large areas of the USA and Canada! Across Europe too!
5:48 am
Scrabbler
I have been cross-country skiing and snowshoeing all winter, 3-4 times weekly, and love it. I am not ready for spring yet.
5:49 am
Lizlin
Sounds like fun! Occasionally!!!!
5:49 am
Scrabbler
I am always sad when each season ends.
5:50 am
Lizlin
Sadly there's not much difference between seasons here. However, in spring the trees have some beautiful blossom on them - reds, yellows, purples etc. but never a really fresh spring green.
5:51 am
Scrabbler
I love mid-spring, when the trees are flowering and the leaves are emerging.
5:52 am
Lizlin
In England I loved Spring and Autumn - for the colours.
5:53 am
Lizlin
Though autumn didn't match the US E. coast colours that I've seen photographed.
5:53 am
Scrabbler
We are fortunate to have 4 distinct and wonderful seasons here. I don't like the transition from winter to spring and autumn to winter though. Outdoor activities are difficult to do in between seasons when it is cold and rainy.
5:53 am
Scrabbler
We have stunning colors in autumn.
5:54 am
Scrabbler
*ggrrrrrrrrr* Here comes the town snowplow. You can hear it growling before it passes.
5:54 am
Lizlin
Still for all that, i don't regret the move here - except perhaps on the few very humid evenings we get here in summer.
5:54 am
Scrabbler
You have your own beauty there.
5:55 am
Lizlin
Sure do - the sea was a wonderful turquoise today (enhanced by polarised sun glasses!)
5:56 am
Lizlin
If you google "Kirra Beach" images, you'll get an idea of why I love it here.
5:57 am
Scrabbler
I will, but I have to give my sick bunny her meds, then syringe-feed her, then get to work. Bye, Liz. Enjoy the day!
5:57 am
Lizlin
You too :)

Schizo weather
11:20 am

S'okay, Ruby. Lasagna always tastes better the 2nd day.
11:20 am
MollyL
Ruby, it has to be better than that underdone quail you had the other day. Urp.
11:21 am
rubyfoo
a mewt point, Molly. My mother made the best-ever lasagna and I tried to emulate hers.
11:22 am
MollyL
Let me guess, you didn't have the right meat to go in it.
11:22 am
Judi
What did hubby think of the lasagna, Ruby?
11:22 am
Judi
And, is it LaSagna or LeSagna in France?
11:22 am
rubyfoo
I had all the right ingredients, but it wasn''t as good as hers
11:23 am
rubyfoo
he loved it but I think his sense of tast is gone from too many years of super-spicy food
11:23 am
MollyL
I'm with Judi, lasagna is always better the next day. I make mine a day ahead.
11:23 am
rubyfoo
it's lasagna here, made with béchamel sauce
11:24 am
rubyfoo
I hope you're right because I made a huge amount
11:24 am
Judi
Bechamel can be tricky. As long as it was edible, I'd count it as a win.
11:24 am
MollyL
Wait, wait, your mother made lasagna with béchamel sauce?
11:24 am
rubyfoo
this part of France used to be Italian, but they've forgotten how to cook
11:25 am
rubyfoo
no no, the Fr make it with béchamel and it's disgusting
11:26 am
Judi
You could cut the leftovers into cubes, dredge them, deep fry them and then dip them in marinara. Everything is better deep fried. So I'm told.
11:27 am
Judi
Like an arancini, only with lasagna.

I know, Molls. My arteries are cringing at the thought. Although, at the Olive Gardens around here, they serve something similar. I have had deep fried mac & cheese. I was great, but OMG... talk about heart attack on a plate.

11:38 am

Did you use them in your lasagna?
11:38 am

Judi, if you feel the Earth rumbling tonight, it's because Phan is cooking.
11:38 am
rubyfoo
|It's the restaurants that are poor and I don't feel like doing elaborate cooking like I used to
11:39 am

Yes, I used them in the meat sauce.
11:39 am

5:44 pm
Soodle
Hey, Cross, old pal. :-)
5:46 pm

Funny how names go in and out of fashion - when I was in school there was lots of girls named Sue - babies are never named Sue any more!
5:46 pm
Mary
good evening all, I have never completed a grid in 20 minutes. Soodle, I hated my name when I was a kid, but now I don't mind it at all. and hi Cross. Any bacon for dinner???? It's 5:45 PM in Chgo.

It is an old folk song about the four ladies in waiting to Mary Queen of Scots all named Mary - one became pregnant by the Queens husband and when the baby was born -so legend says- she threw it in the sea and was executed for it

the du 8, does it have anything to do with du 4 under it?
6:09 pm

Nope, Crossy. No little green link. Just a sergeant-major type pointing at me and the word diet, and a word balloon saying 'GO ON ONE'
6:09 pm

6:18 pm
mkg

6:24 pm
mkg
jen, some people do this when they speak. they cant get the words to come out. sometimes they repeat the same letter sound over and over as in "the cat is bl bl bl bl bl bl bl black. this is called st*****ing. make it plural

hello herin
7:16 pm
herinfernallady
HOwdy. I have a really odd question. I am looking at making whoopie pies and was wondering if there was anyone that may have a recipe they like to use and wouldn't mind linking me too.
7:16 pm
herinfernallady
please
7:17 pm
wvteach
don't know anything about whoopie pies - did you try googling - whoopie pie recipe
7:17 pm
wvteach
gert most of my recipes on line now
7:18 pm
herinfernallady
I did but I was just wondering if there was anyone that had a fav online
7:18 pm
herinfernallady
I was actually thinking normal cake batter
7:19 pm
wvteach
what are the basis for whoopie pies
7:19 pm
herinfernallady
Cake and icing Like a cookie but cake like
7:21 pm
herinfernallady
it is an old use of too much cake batter but not enough for a whole cake
7:22 pm
wvteach
just looked it up - the recipe at "allrecipe.com" called for using a cake mix batter
7:23 pm
herinfernallady
I do not like making packet cake mix. I felt slightly like making food
7:26 pm

How are you going WV?
7:28 pm
wvteach
having a good day - snowy morning so music practice was cncelled so got caught up on things and made some soup (which was dinner) and thenwas with grandkids this afternoonafternoon
7:28 pm
herinfernallady
I spent about 4 hours on trains and buses yesterday. Very tired today
7:29 pm
wvteach
where were you going?
7:29 pm
herinfernallady
To an appointment and back. I don't drive. I had to wait in total an hour for 2 trains.
7:30 pm
wvteach
no wonder you were tired out
7:30 pm
herinfernallady
I wouldn't have minded if i missed the train by a proper time but both times was by under 2 min
7:31 pm
wvteach
how frustrating -
7:31 pm
herinfernallady
If I was naughty I could have ducked under the closing boom gate but I prefer to miss a train than get squished
7:32 pm
wvteach
public buses here don;t go many places and I really count on having the car
7:33 pm
herinfernallady
I am lucky to have a good network of buses and trains. It is this one appointment every few weeks that is on a line that runs every 30min. Most lines are 15 min
7:33 pm
wvteach
too small of a town to have any trains
7:36 pm
wvteach
my husband walks most everywhere but my knees have enough arthritis that I don't get very far going up and down hills
7:36 pm

wvteach
i grew up in a large city with lots of buses and trains available
7:38 pm
herinfernallady
This train line has only one track where as the other have 2 or more in sections so it has a 30min turn around.
7:40 pm

had a good contra dance this past weekend at our music festival - thought of you TO - and wondered if you did contra dancing
7:42 pm
72 Temple Owl
i don't , teach. but many of the other dancers do. it is quite strenuous.
7:45 pm
wvteach
had a successful music festival this past weekend and the weather even cooperated
7:45 pm
72 Temple Owl
that is nice. did you play?
7:46 pm
wvteach
yes - did a little bit of everything - my husband and I coordinate the festival - i performed twice on stage and taught two workshops - one on lap dulcimer and the other on bowed psaltery
7:47 pm

72 Temple Owl
yay, welk!
7:51 pm
wvteach
my husband has lots of videos but none on the web site and none of his pictures from this year are there yet - there are some clips on youtube
7:51 pm
72 Temple Owl
you play mtn dulimer, correct?
7:52 pm
wvteach
yes, i playt the mountain dulcimer and also am learning to play the bowed psaltery
7:52 pm
72 Temple Owl
ooh, i wish the timiing was better. i would have loed this!
7:53 pm
wvteach
our festival is always the last full weekend in February - this was the 36th year
7:54 pm
wvteach
we gret about 200 people on Friday and 400 - 500 on Saturday
7:54 pm
72 Temple Owl
well,i mean weather wise. but this year, there was really no good time
7:55 pm
wvteach
we do a smaller festival in June - the first weekend in June - PattyFest
7:55 pm
72 Temple Owl
wow that is one huge hammered dulcimer in that photo
7:56 pm
wvteach
the festival is in honor / memory of Patty Looman who played the hammered dulcimer
7:56 pm
wvteach
Patty was also my teacher on the mountain dulcimer
7:57 pm
72 Temple Owl
teach, do you dance as well?
7:57 pm

Teach interesting instrument
7:57 pm
wvteach
i used to many years ago - but now have too much arthritis in my knees - need to get them both replaced
7:58 pm
72 Temple Owl
oh wow. i just read about a new treatment, injections to restore the cushioning
8:00 pm
wvteach
the artritis has worn away the joint too much and bones are close to rubbing - most injections are cortisone based and, being diabetic, can't tolerate cortisone
8:01 pm
wvteach
have braces thast actually force the bones apart - but I don't like wearing the braces
8:02 pm
72 Temple Owl
i see. this one was not that, i do recall, but an acutal replacement for the cartilage. at least it did not state it was steroid.
8:02 pm
72 Temple Owl
being diabetic complicates everything.
8:03 pm
wvteach
will have to check it out - just heard about a "pain block" that speeds up recovery - my biggest fear is the lengthy recovery - I can never find the time to give up doing things
8:04 pm
uusue2
I've had both my knees replaced, wv, would recommend not doing them at the same time
8:05 pm
uusue2
for my first I was off work for about 8 weeks; for the second they used a newer technique and I was back after 4 weeks
8:05 pm
72 Temple Owl
hi sue
8:05 pm
wvteach
the surgeon that i have gone to will not do the two at the same time - but my sister had both done at the same time because thsat is what her surgeon recommended
8:07 pm
uusue2
the rehab is not fun but is necessary for full recovery - my knees are both fine now
8:07 pm
herinfernallady
Hi Sue
8:08 pm
wvteach
watched while my sister was going through it
8:09 pm
uusue2
anyway I am off again - finished earlier but noticed the knee chat when I had to reboot my computer :-)
