2:34 am

grannyrose

naughty babble site...;-(

2:35 am

gapeach

Indeed.

2:35 am

grannyrose

was miserable before. have had only one strong pain med in over 24 hours. i gave in 30 minutes ago

2:35 am

puglet

Hugs and Hi Rose and Peach----babble being a brat this morning

2:36 am

grannyrose

how are you, sweetie?

2:36 am

gapeach

Hi there, puglet.

2:36 am

puglet

what did you do today Rose to be so miserable

2:36 am

grannyrose

oh, my dear pugs, am so glad to see you. can i please have a hug? feel dreadful, have been awake since 2am, which was 16 hours ago.

2:36 am

puglet

How are you Peach

2:37 am

gapeach

I'm OK, Rose. Feet and legs swelling......think they will wind up putting the compression hose on.

2:37 am

puglet

(((((HUGS))))) Iam so sorry Rose

2:37 am

grannyrose

ugh, peach. i have several pairs, want some?

2:37 am

gapeach

Pug, are you over the earlier problems?

2:38 am

puglet

yes, thanks Peach

2:38 am

gapeach

Rose, I hear they come with zippers now.....otherwise I won't be able to get them on.

2:38 am

gapeach

Glad to hear that, puglet.

2:38 am

grannyrose

pugs, little or no sleep, and trying desperately to get off the endone. the pain was actually in the femur, where the new prosthesis is situated.

2:39 am

puglet

were you on your feet too much today

2:39 am

grannyrose

yeah, peach. i had to rest on the bed for 2 days until my feet were less swollen enough to get the looser stockings on.

2:40 am

gapeach

Oh, my goodness, Rose. Do you wear the loser ones now?

2:40 am

grannyrose

no pugs. today is sunday. it's the easiest day of the week. at 4:30 am i gave up, in tears. got up and sat out in the kitchen so as to not disturb don's sleep.

2:41 am

grannyrose

peach, feet are now so that i can get the tighter ones on..and i can now do it myself.

2:41 am

puglet

since you are hurting so much, maybe a pain pill would be good for right now

2:42 am

grannyrose

at first, poor don had to get down on his knees and wrestle them on, while i held my leg and knee still as possible.

2:43 am

puglet

so I take it you were not able to go to church then--that devil strikes on such days dont he?

2:43 am

grannyrose

pugs, it is still 6 weeks until i am supposed to return to work. am thinking i might take a small step backwards, and take a tablet twice/day. i have to stay mobile.....

2:43 am

gapeach

Well, dear ones, I need to do a few things so I will see y'all later.....Blessings

2:44 am

puglet

blessings and Hugs Peach

2:45 am

puglet

it sounds like you need to Rose---it may just take a little longer then you want

2:45 am

grannyrose

oh, i went to church. and now that i think about it, i was standing for about 25 minutes at a stretch during the service. guess it is a combo of both. standing and no strong pain meds, and no sleep.

2:45 am

grannyrose

xoxox, peach. hope that swelling goes down for you, dear.

2:46 am

puglet

you poor dear---sounds like supper, a pill and bed would help

2:47 am

grannyrose

i will try again next weekend. i have to do this. i can feel myself getting really stubborn about it.

2:48 am

grannyrose

and tomorrow is a hard day in the pool. mondays and fridays are going to be the hardest days. wednesdays i can take it a little easier in the pool.

2:49 am

puglet

now dont rush it and cause yourself a setback---if you got that much pain then your mind might be ready but not your body

2:49 am

puglet

maybe you should skip tomorrow if you wake still hurting

2:50 am

puglet

did you wear heels to church

2:50 am

grannyrose

nah, even if i am hurting, my physio will still give me an easy session. the warm water is lovely. both on the knee and my back.

2:51 am

grannyrose

no way, pugs. flats all the time, dear. oh, and dinner is on the way. maybe catch you later. will check in after dinner. xoxox

2:51 am

puglet

Just try not to push yourself too much. I know you are wanting to be 100% but its just not time for that yet

2:52 am

puglet

okay Rose, enjoy and if not hugs and prayers

3:00 am

puglet

3:20 am

*shame-faced grin* yeah...

3:20 am

sprite

*giggles*

3:20 am

grannyrose

*giggle* love ya, hun. thanx

3:21 am

sprite

I will, pug. It is always so nice there. Great people, both the leaders and the group, a good place to be, and so much input and inspiration.

3:21 am

puglet

today is my one year ann. here on babble

3:21 am

puglet

do you all stay there all week

3:22 am

sprite

oh wow, pug! Congratulations :)

3:22 am

sprite

so, rose... how ARE you feeling?

3:22 am

puglet

thank you

3:22 am

grannyrose

i hope that you will be able to relax and take it all in, dear.

3:22 am

sprite

pug, I will leave on Tuesday morning and will come back Thursday evening. If all goes well, I should be back in babble on Friday morning.

3:23 am

grannyrose

sprite, i gave in and took a strong pain med. feeling better now. the pain was mainly in the femur.

3:23 am

puglet

alright! are you the only one going from your family

3:24 am

sprite

they know I am handicapped, rose, and they are always so kind to not include me in the roster of chores. All I have to do is lead them in one guided meditation/visualisation (which I still must write today, lolol) and that is all. For the rest I can take it all in and lean back and enjoy the ride.

3:24 am

NonoNanette

n ide

3:24 am

sprite

ah, rose, well done darling. That is what the stuff is there for. Too much pain is not conductive to further healing. Am glad you are feeling better now.

3:25 am

grannyrose

how lovely, sprite. what a wonderful group of people.

3:25 am

puglet

Hi nono

3:25 am

grannyrose

yo nanette.

3:27 am

sprite

they are. It is where I did my 3 years of training for counsellor. Hein Stufkens is a wonderful and wise man and we had been pestering him for ages to set up a school in which he could share his knowledge and system. He finally gave in. Handpicked his students, grin, only people who were already counsellors and had enough self-development (?) to not be a burden to the group.

3:28 am

sprite

hi Nanette!

3:29 am

sprite

wd

3:29 am

puglet

what kind of a counsellor Sprite? Like one for youth or marriges?

3:29 am

sprite

sorry about that

3:31 am

sprite

for everyone who faces challenges in life and has trouble managing them, pug. Youth, marriages, burn-outs, people in a crisis. Anyone who doesn't need a psychiatrist, basically.

3:32 am

puglet

I bet you are really good at it

3:34 am

sprite

they told me I am among the best of my year (if I am allowed to brag for a sec.) But I must say they are all very good. We learned to coach from the heart - very rare in this society, where everything is businesslike nowadays.

3:35 am

puglet

so true--do you get paid for this or is it for the poor

3:37 am

puglet

Rose's pain meds must of kicked in and knocked her out--lol

3:37 am

sprite

The insurance companies don't pay for it anymore, alas. They are cutting almost all compensation for psychological help now. People usually pay us, but if they can't, we figure out something else. Hein himself doesn't define a fee for his sessions... he says you can pay what you want.

3:37 am

grannyrose

nah, just watching you two knock yourselves out...lol

3:38 am

sprite

lol you know rose... I bet a squirrel hopped along

3:38 am

sprite

:D

3:38 am

grannyrose

raspberries, sprite, raspberries

3:38 am

sprite

*giggles*

3:39 am

grannyrose

also watching richard hammond build a universe.

3:40 am

sprite

see? A male squirrel even.

3:40 am

grannyrose

;-P in duplicate, so as pugs doesn't feel left out....

3:41 am

sprite

lolol

3:41 am

puglet

thanks

3:42 am

sprite

am miffed as usual that ents isn't valid. While orcs are. Stupid stupid enable

3:42 am

grannyrose

oh, did i spray it, instead of saying it? so sad, too bad...*hides under chair*

3:42 am

sprite

roflol! *carefully pulls rose from under the chair and messes up her hair*

3:43 am

grannyrose

NOT THE HAIR!!!!! it's taken me forever to get it this messy

3:43 am

puglet

she must really be feeling better if she can crawl under the chair-lol

3:44 am

sprite

*brings in a bit of water and makes it all real straight and neat*

3:44 am

grannyrose

aaaggghhhh

3:44 am

puglet

no,no she needs a biker hairdo---like spikes maybe

3:45 am

sprite

hehehe indeed pug!

3:45 am

sprite

no, she would like that and I was teasing her, lol

3:45 am

grannyrose

or was that spokes???

3:45 am

sprite

si4 note: still trying to find a gerund in this grid!

3:46 am

sprite

I'd say spukes, but I think that sounds too yucky

3:47 am

grannyrose

oh, and pugs, when you work out how to use that thingy-ma-jig, can you please let me know? don has to provide a report to the company.

3:48 am

sprite

lol @ thingy-ma-jig

3:48 am

puglet

yes mam I will

3:49 am

grannyrose

what do you call it?? oh yeah, feed back...*sigh*

3:49 am

puglet

it will be perfect no doubt and since Ive not had any before how do I compare it? So its got to be first rate

3:50 am

sprite

as long as it works properly, pug. No defects or missing connection cords or anything like that.

3:51 am

puglet

the only thing missing is my know how--lol

3:52 am

sprite

oh, you will get that in no time, pug, don't worry. Just take it step by step.

3:52 am

puglet

I will :)

3:52 am

grannyrose

i hope a hand-book has been provided.

3:52 am

sprite

one would expect so

3:53 am

grannyrose

sweetie, stranger things have happened betwixt teacup and lip...

3:53 am

puglet

uh no---I got to unravel all the mystries on my own and with the help of you guys

3:53 am

sprite

do you guys recognise this: having an awful lot to do and postponing it all the time in favor of things like babble and jigidy?

3:54 am

sprite

ok, one major feedback thing there. A manual is the first thing they should provide!

3:54 am

puglet

well you need us to send you off with hugs and love

3:54 am

sprite

well, apart from the reader itself then, lol

3:54 am

grannyrose

yup, happens here all the time. do you think it might be a contagious disease?

3:54 am

puglet

it would help

3:55 am

sprite

am pretty sure it is, rose. Might be a virus they don't know about yet.

3:55 am

puglet

If I have too much problems I will go to Cindy's ----shes good with electronics

3:55 am

grannyrose

pugs, don says just turn it on, it should be self-explanatory.

3:56 am

sprite

well, basically, pug, it should be pretty straightforward. If you use my email, you should be able to put the files on the reader. And then just turn it on and try all buttons, lol.

3:56 am

sprite

snap, Don and rose

3:56 am

grannyrose

lol, snap sprite

3:56 am

sprite

oh great! Nothing like a real-life demonstration.

3:57 am

puglet

yeah I saved it Sprite and I will learn

3:57 am

grannyrose

okay, don sending me a link, i will forward it to you, pugs.

3:57 am

sprite

I know you will, pug, you are such a quick study

3:57 am

puglet

okay Rose

3:58 am

puglet

Please tell Don, Thanks for his help

3:58 am

grannyrose

done, pugs

3:58 am

puglet

thanks :)

3:59 am

sprite

Don has been such a big help with ordering the darn thing, pug! Crossy and rose had given me stores where I could order, but either they didn't have what I wanted for you or they wouldn't accept my payment! Don found a better solution.

4:01 am

puglet

thats so nice of you all///and Rose, thanks for letting us use your hubby and be sure to let him know how apprecived I am

4:02 am

grannyrose

lolol....he says...you mean how used he feels...

4:03 am

sprite

lololllll

4:03 am

puglet

lol--in a good way though :)

4:03 am

sprite

he wish~!

4:04 am

puglet

LOL

4:04 am

grannyrose

he says i'm so bad, i am good....*giggle*

4:04 am

sprite

I had this si4 when I was still working in an office, and it said: "When I am good, I am very very good. But when I am bad, I am even better."

4:05 am

puglet

thats Rose! lol

4:05 am

grannyrose

ooohhh, give it to me, give it to me...lololol

4:05 am

sprite

hehehe someone stole it from me... never found another one.

4:06 am

puglet

something nice to hang over the headboard--lol

4:06 am

sprite

*giggles* true, pug!

4:07 am

grannyrose

yeah, i could hang onto it with both hands, and sw5.

4:07 am

sprite

ok, now that put a very wicked picture in my head, rose

4:08 am

grannyrose

i was talking about the si4, sprite. *looks innocently at the ceiling* wonder what you were thinking?

4:08 am

puglet

oh, going to play tarzen and jane?

4:09 am

sprite

wow, am impressed you can see the ceiling when you are hanging on to the headboard and sw5ing. You nimble little witch :)

4:09 am

sprite

lol pug!

4:10 am

puglet

LOL Sprite

4:10 am

grannyrose

*snorts into glass*

4:11 am

sprite

*whispers discreetly: 'you have to work on that innocent look, dear, you are not pulling it off at all'*

4:11 am

grannyrose

roflol

4:11 am

puglet

LOL

4:14 am

puglet

Rose, you need one of those devices that has the jungle sounds to add to the scene too

4:15 am

sprite

she has Don

4:15 am

grannyrose

don't need no device, dear, it all comes naturally here...so to speak.

4:20 am

sprite

well finally! My very first gerund, with 13 words left to find.

4:25 am

sprite

fireflies :) Good grid. Bit of a waste of a good gerund ending though

4:26 am

puglet

and now it is time for Crossy's quote of the day!! "There is no elevator for success, you have to take the stairs" - Unknown . this has been requited so much that I cannot trace the source of this since it has been re-used by so many. Someone else can search out the provenance of the thing if needed:)

10:22 am

crosshair

re-quoted

10:23 am

crosshair

too bad I have to quantify a lot of the things I post now with this :(

10:24 am

hego

why?

10:24 am

jaxx7

We have just let the hens out for the first time this year and they have promptly eaten the violets.

10:24 am

hi, all

hi welki

10:25 am

Mmmmm. Violets. Well, they have good taste, jaxx.

10:25 am

Judi

On the up side, they'll probably lay purple eggs now.

10:25 am

bichon

hi Judi, welki

10:25 am

hego

Will give a floral scent to the eggs.

10:26 am

crosshair

because, hego, some people take great pains to take what should be a fun, informative post and go to great lengths to post the fact that I did not personally create it last night while soaking in my bathtub , drinking vodka shooters:)

10:26 am

crosshair

though I have created wonderful poems while in the bath tub:)

10:26 am

crosshair

you can get those at www.poetry.com

just ignore the jerks, that's my srategy.

10:27 am

thanks for the visuals, crossy :)

10:27 am

jaxx7

I think our spring is further on than yours. Our winter was very wet but not cold. Our snowdrops have come and gone, as have the crocuses, but the daffodils are bloming as are the primroses. the violets were!

10:27 am

crosshair

what is this spring you speak of?

10:27 am

jaxx7

blooming even

10:27 am

Judi

The bathtub is where he also happens to make his own vodka.

10:27 am

crosshair

shh...

10:27 am

crosshair

don't tell

10:28 am

hego

:)

10:29 am

crosshair

now there is another quote so truthful ,it hurts... " After you think you have written something good, delete most of it"

10:29 am

Judi

Well, it must be Spring somewhere in the world, 'cause my eyes are itching like crazy.

10:29 am

jaxx7

The weather will no doubt revert to its usual wet self but at the moment the sun is shining and the birds are singing.

10:30 am

crosshair

I will try to not add so much anti-freeze to the next batch of bathtub vodka for you judi:)

10:30 am

jaxx7

Could it be tree pollen, Judi? catkins and the like? My husband finds that low pressure can start his hay fever off.

10:31 am

hego

yes, tree pollen is early and vicious.

10:32 am

Judi

I have no idea, jaxx. My eyelash pores secrete too much oil (so says the opthomologist). Left eye is very weepy today. Gotta give it the warm teabag treatment pretty soon.

10:33 am

crosshair

ever get it so bad, judi, that your eyelashes seal themselves together overnight? When I was younger, I would have to stumble to the bathroom while blind and get a wet face cloth to get my eyes open again without ripping my eyelashes out

10:34 am

hego

bbl

10:34 am

Judi

Yep. Thought I had pink eye. Not the case. Very annoying.

10:35 am

jaxx7

My husband suffers badly from sticky eyes. I guess it affaects your sight as it does his.

10:35 am

Judi

I've found that the teabags take the itch away much better than the steroid drops.

10:36 am

crosshair

i will have to remember that, if it is a bad spring for pollen this year

10:36 am

Judi

Makes it almost impossible to wear my contact lenses. And I HATE wearing my glasses.

10:36 am

jaxx7

I am not at my most literate today what a way to spell Affcts

10:37 am

crosshair

this year marks the first time i have ever had to wear glasses, and i am still trying to get used to them

10:37 am

jaxx7

that is not much better. Oh my

It may also have something to do with the house needing to be vacuumed. *color me guilty*

10:40 am

10:40 am

No. No staining. Gosh, that would look awful. I use green or herbal tea.

Crossy's pet peeve #8,342: When you are going to a web site and the creators of said site have set up things so a video automatically loads or 300 gif's are running all at that same time, effectively crashing any older computer and forcing either a total shut down and restart of your browser or a reboot. Lets us decide if we want to watch said video, do not assume that we do.

10:52 am

DRWED

Amen, cross. It is so distracting to go to a website and have blinking ads with scrolling items across the screen, and have to click "close" on ads that pop up. Don't these site creators/managers realize that it turns us off so much that we NEVER go back to that site?

10:53 am

crosshair

now, i know that many sites need ad revenue to pay for things, but do it in a more subtle way,please

10:54 am

crosshair

remember the old AOL? lol, it used to have banner ads all around the perimeter of your screen, so in effect you total usable screen space was about 9 inches out of 15 :)

10:54 am

DRWED

Yeah, I don't begrudge them getting ad revenue because it keeps many of those sites free...but seriously, I can't even get to the story I wanted to read. I have seen some adds that move as you do in order to remain center screen!

10:55 am

crosshair

near the end here, AOL became so unpopular that in the last years of it, they were giving away free copies at local hardware stores:)

10:56 am

crosshair

indeed, drwed, the new "auto-centre" ads make me just leave the site immediatly

10:56 am

DRWED

I have come to the conclusion that the current crop of TV network executives and website managers are the dumbest ever. I used to use AOL. Left a few years ago.

10:56 am

DRWED

Sadly, it is not just AOL...the server that I went to now does the same thing.

I have adopted the approach that I will NEVER buy what is being advertised.

10:57 am

DRWED

...At least not advertised in that way.

10:58 am

crosshair

indeed, drwed and as you know, google search customizes 3rd party banner ads based on any searches you run trough it

10:58 am

ypsigirl

why not just use ad blocker

10:58 am

crosshair

that is why i often use duckduckgo as my search tool

10:59 am

crosshair

they do not block everything,especially with google tailoring ads just for you

11:00 am

DRWED

True...but if you delete your browser history, it makes it harder to tailor their ads. Not that you won't get any but I noticed it does reduce the frequency of them. I have my browser set to delete the browser history automatically when I close it. [While I am at it, let me give a shout out to the NSA...we love you, I am loyal and patriotic, etc., etc., etc. (giggle).

11:04 am

crosshair

computers require constant vigilance now. i have ad-block plus for I.E. use duckduckgo for snoop- free searching, use malwarebytes for anti-vuris and use Ccleaner and pc decrapifier for everything else

11:04 am

oh and Microsoft security essentials as well

11:05 am

For many browers, if you if you press control-shift-N, it will put you in privacy mode.

I think that was the biggest and worst change in nursing in my 34 year career. 12 hours is too long!

11:30 am

it will be everyother weekend when I am off orientation

11:31 am

phandmd

well, it wasn't that bad at the hospital job, but then I was only working 2 shifts...

11:35 am

phandmd

the hardest part of that job was the 53 miles I had to drive home after the 12 hours...

11:37 am

Jillyjill

That would be hard. Years ago, I had to drive 32 miles; was only 20 years old and it was tought!

11:42 am

I did do something worthwhile this week. One of the patients I am caring for has to take her meds crushed, and they have been crushing an extended release heart med. I got it changed to a nitro patch.

I'm absolutely LOVING seeing all the Irish flags on Babble. A very happy St Patricks Day to one and all. (To be sure to be sure).

2:44 pm

rururocks

this polar bear is wearing irish flag underwear too

2:44 pm

Soodle

I knew that....

2:45 pm

Soodle

Quiet here at the moment, Ru.

2:46 pm

rururocks

I think the chat needs some adrenalin

2:47 pm

Soodle

Perhaps. Or maybe it's the Babblers who need a shot.

2:47 pm

rururocks

I think everyone is exhausted from worrying about Cos

2:48 pm

wvteach

made corned beef and cabbage for a St Patricks Day luncheon today

2:48 pm

Soodle

Oh? Whats up with Cos?

2:49 pm

rururocks

please see below.. soodle.. he's always coming and going and everyone worries about him while he's gone

2:50 pm

cosdem

lol :P

2:51 pm

cosdem

its a quote from Absolutely Fabulous actually

2:51 pm

rururocks

OH THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!

2:51 pm

Soodle

LOL. I have no fear for the bould Cos! WV, i hate corned beef and cabbage with a vengence. I was force fed it as a child. Yuk

2:51 pm

cosdem

I am making corned beef and cabbage in the crockpot soon.. so I can have it for lunch and dinner tomorrow

2:52 pm

rururocks

I like corned beef and cabbage actually

2:52 pm

rururocks

I like cabbage though

2:52 pm

cosdem

I love cabbage

2:53 pm

Soodle

Dinner Chez Soodle tomorrow will be a very traditional Irish lasagne :-P

2:53 pm

rururocks

I'm having leftovers

2:54 pm

Soodle

Of course, that is assuming that Soodle will be in a fit condition to cook. My Lenten abstinence will be suspended for the day tomorrow.

2:55 pm

wvteach

we;re having leftover shephers pie - no corned beef and cabbage left over

2:55 pm

rururocks

I never get so loaded I can't cook.. that would take a lot :D

2:56 pm

rururocks

what's actually in shepard's pie?

2:57 pm

Soodle

Its not that I intend to get so loaded I can't cook. But there's a distinct possibility that I'll get so loaded that I'll say....... Dammit. Call a takeaway.

2:57 pm

wvteach

like a beef pot pie with mashed potatoes as the top layer

2:58 pm

rururocks

that sounds yummy

2:58 pm

Soodle

I use minced beef, WV, or, I think you guys call it ground beef. With loads of peppers, mushrooms, worcester sauce & onions. Topped off with mashed spuds with cheese. Delish.

2:59 pm

wvteach

it was very good, but they made too much and lots of leftovers

2:59 pm

wvteach

this is actually with ground beef

3:00 pm

wvteach

has onion and carrots - don't know what else - my job was the corned beef and cabbage - they also made a vegetarian shepherds pie which used beans instead of the ground beef

3:00 pm

Soodle

But, one thing is for certain, the day will start off with a Full Irish Breakfast. Bacon, sausages, pudding, fried tomatoes, potato cakes, baked beans and fried eggs.

3:01 pm

wvteach

what kind of pudding?

3:02 pm

rururocks

you mean like bubble and pipsqueak ?

3:02 pm

Soodle

Black and white pudding. If you google Black Pudding, you will be totally grossed out. But, it is weirdly gorgeous.

3:07 pm

JillF

i make my shepards pie with ground lamb and veggies, whipped mashed potatoes on top. yum that sounds good on this rainy day!

3:12 pm

wvteach

googled black pudding - and yes, it was sort of gross, but will take your word that it is good

3:15 pm

Soodle

Shepherds pie is real comfort food in bad weather.

3:17 pm

Soodle

For dinner this evening, we had fillet steak, pepper sauce, mashed potatoes, fried mushrooms and onions & baby corns. Om nom mon

3:18 pm

MollyL

You know, I think lying about your drinking intentions during Lent is not just a sin, it's a Super Duper Sin.
: P

3:19 pm

rururocks

a new category ?

3:20 pm

MollyL

People are getting tired of just being venial and mortal.

3:21 pm

Soodle

Au contraire, Molly. I feel like Saint Soodle of Babble. The new, improved non wine-swilling Soodle. If you're not careful, I will start pontificating about the evils of drink.

3:22 pm

rururocks

<--has given up on sainthood

3:22 pm

MollyL

Please spare us Soodle, there is enough pontificating here already. : D

3:23 pm

bichon

I am cooking the corned beef in the crock pot now

3:23 pm

rururocks

yeah and we don't even have a pope of babble

3:23 pm

wvteach

love the smell of the corned beef cooking

3:23 pm

MollyL

I'm with Billy Joel...laughing with the sinners and all that.

3:23 pm

Soodle

In all fairness, I have been off the hooch for about 2 and a half weeks. I'm not at pontification phase yet.

3:24 pm

rururocks

Lent sounds kinda boring to me

3:24 pm

bichon

It's in the crock pot, so it will smell good in the house for a long time

3:24 pm

bichon

Glad Jews don't have Lent.

3:24 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Note: ruru and I are here at the same time.

3:25 pm

MollyL

I'm doing mine in the crock pot tomorrow Bich, and it does make the house smell good.

3:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We have Lentils.

3:25 pm

rururocks

if they did bichon it would be called schlent

3:25 pm

rururocks

HI kap

3:25 pm

Soodle

Ye Gods, it is, Ruru, it is. It surely is. And hello Kap, and happy St Patricks Day to you.

3:25 pm

MollyL

Oh, I like Schlent. I'm seeing a children's book "Schlomo's Schlent"

3:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Glad Jews don't have Lent? Do sad Jews have lent? We also have cholent.

3:25 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Hi.

3:26 pm

bichon

And for Passover we have that great treat, Matzo. You have to eat it

3:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Rather have Lent than cholent.

3:27 pm

MollyL

I feel about matzo, the same way Bill Cosby feels about rice cakes...the air in my mouth tastes better than that.

3:27 pm

rururocks

isn't cholent when Margaret Cho loses weight?

3:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Happy. It is going to be single digit temperatures this week in New England.

3:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No. Neither a borrower nor a lenter be.

3:28 pm

bichon

It's not the Matzo that's heavenly, it's what you put on it. So many choices. Then, it's Matzo Brei for breakfast [fried up with eggs]

3:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Matzah with butter and salt is excellent/

3:28 pm

bichon

Or chicken schmalz

3:28 pm

rururocks

<---likes matzo ball soup

3:28 pm

bichon

Only kidding

3:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Just butter and salt. Comfort food of the highest order.

3:29 pm

bichon

Yes, steaming hot matzo ball soup

3:29 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No nutritional value.

3:30 pm

bichon

And then, when you're waiting for the Haggadah [Passover story] to be finished by your grandfather and uncle, you put horseradish on it

3:31 pm

uusue2

Good afternoon, babble friends!

3:31 pm

MollyL

There is an interesting place in DC called the Star & Shamrock. An Irish pub/Jewish deli. It's a very schizo place to be.

3:31 pm

Soodle

I passed a field of newborn lambs today, frolicking amongst the newly bloomed daffodils. 'Twould do a heart good to see it. (All I could think of was 'mint sauce').

3:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

On your granmdfather?

3:31 pm

bichon

No silly, on the matzoh.

3:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Who then shouts out "It's the Jewish Dristan!" every year expecting a big laugh?

3:31 pm

MollyL

Nothing like a good frolick

3:32 pm

bichon

Yes, so true

3:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Even though nobody knows what Dristan is any more.

3:32 pm

rururocks

<--likes frolicking

3:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Freilich=frolic. Same root.

3:32 pm

bichon

Sudaphed

3:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Dristan clears up sinuses 8 different ways.

3:33 pm

rururocks

Dristan is really bad for you

3:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Sudafed is like methamphetamine to me.

3:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

All thos little arrow pointers bumping into that nice lady's head.

3:33 pm

MollyL

Me too, any cold meds wire me for sound.

3:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Ouch!

3:34 pm

bichon

My m.i.l. took too many of them and ended up doing a face plant on the bathroom floor. Broke 3 bones in her face

3:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have in the past taken too much robitussen

3:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Not good.

3:36 pm

rururocks

*note to self.. buy lots of cold medicine for MIL*

3:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It was years ago. I didn't know it could make you stoned. It was from coughing all night and not remembering when I took the previous dose because of being sleepy.

3:36 pm

MollyL

: D

3:36 pm

bichon

She's 90 y.o. Not good

3:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oy.

3:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oy.

3:37 pm

rururocks

my MIL could use a faceplant.. her nose is always out of joint

3:38 pm

3:41 pm

In keeping with the Irish tradition of ancestor homage, I made my Grandmother's Irish Soda Bread today. It turned out loverly.

6:57 pm

stidgmere

first th 6 is plural of the th 5, 12. don't have the second th 6, 21.

6:59 pm

stidgmere

second th 6 is one who is the th*. ending is indictor of being one.

7:02 pm

JillF

i have the first 6, the plural of the th5, but the other two i am stuck on...do not get that clue- th6 is one who is the th*...? working on it.

7:03 pm

stidgmere

th* and then the *** ending meaning one who is. Try all available vowels for the th* part of the word.

7:03 pm

crosshair

7:10 pm

stidgmere

Hi crossy and cosdem. Have 4 left and somehow the last four are always the most difficult. Like finding objects in the last place you think to look. Cosmic correlations.
