Good morning all xx not stopping long, am off to a stamp fair in a bit xx

2:22 am

grannyrose

good morning 'son' how are you?

2:22 am

worzel

Mighty fine, Mum, mighty fine! And your lovely self??? xx

2:23 am

grannyrose

doing okay. hydro getting easier to cope with. even with weights around the ankle...lol

2:23 am

worzel

That's something I don't need - weights around my ankle lmao!!! Mum do you have a clue for the e in the fourth column please? It's my last for nbt xx

2:24 am

grannyrose

my GP was really chuffed at how much strong pain meds i had stopped taking. next step, so to speak....drive the car....

2:24 am

worzel

And I'm glad to hear the hydro is going better for you xx

2:25 am

grannyrose

it's also the 8, en8, en + what you do with your mouse on the screen, by rolling the little wheel

2:25 am

worzel

Ahhh - thank you! xx How long is it since you last drove a car Mum? x

2:26 am

dizgrannie

FWs

2:26 am

grannyrose

since 2nd december, when i had my surgery. i have to be strong pain med free before i get behind the wheel again.

2:26 am

grannyrose

WTG DIZ!!!

2:26 am

worzel

wtg diz xx

2:27 am

worzel

Mum I guess the driving/pain relief thing is due to the meds possibly making you droswy

2:27 am

worzel

drowsy, even!!

2:28 am

grannyrose

yes, love. they also impair my judgement and reaction times.

2:29 am

worzel

I remember that feeling - although with me it was alcohol, in my younger days, that impaired my judgment - in more ways than one lol. Thank goodness I've matured. I say matured . . .

2:30 am

worzel

roan

2:30 am

worzel

oh crap sorry!!

2:33 am

grannyrose

np's worzel...i am done here. probably not a lot of players on at the moment. had the grandkiddies with their daddy here today. lolol...talk about turn a house up-side down in milliseconds.

2:35 am

worzel

I don't have children nor although I did have step-grandchildren when I was with my first wife - two adorable girls called Ellen and Sirena and I think in the entire ten years I knew them they not once misbehaved. Not that your grandchildren do, of course, I was just saying lol. I think the great majority of kids these days get a bad name because of the odd few that really aren't nice, but it doesn't make me feel paternal lol. I always say "I'll make an excellent babysitter - at least you get to hand them back!!"

2:39 am

Lizlin

Hi all:)

2:39 am

grannyrose

hey ya liz

2:39 am

worzel

Morning Liz xx

2:39 am

Lizlin

I'm sure you've had a wonderful day with the gkids, Rose.

2:40 am

Lizlin

Understand what you're saying, worz. Taught primary and loved it but never wanted my own kids.

2:40 am

grannyrose

they are so sweet. and baby braxton is going to have blue eyes, and blod curls. he is such a happy baby.

2:41 am

grannyrose

ummm...that would be * blond*

2:41 am

Lizlin

You'll have to update his pic in your profile.

2:42 am

worzel

My first wife was 17 years older than me and already had an adult daughter but she went through a phase in our early marriage where she wanted a child by me. I wasn't really up for it, but didn't have the nerve to tell her. Thankfully it didn't happen for us, but then, everyone says I'd make a wonderful Dad because I'm so easy going and fun (apparently) but I think it's something in your DNA that you either want children or you're not that bothered. I don't dislike children, don't get me wrong, it's just not something that's ever been of interest to me x

2:42 am

grannyrose

liz, we are all getting together for easter. new pics will be available then. oh, and i am going to deacon's first football game, he is playing for the under 8's, and he's only 5.

2:43 am

Lizlin

Oh! That's so cute Rose. I can just imagine you cheering him on.

2:44 am

Lizlin

I'll look forward to the new pics.

2:45 am

grannyrose

*giggle* son simon was explaining that at that age group they don't tackle, they just run around throwing the ball to each other, and try to kick a goal or two.

2:45 am

worzel

Right, I have to dash now as I'm off to a stamp fair in a minute. I shall talk to you all v v soon and wish you all a marvellous day/eventide wherever your timezone takes you! xx

2:46 am

Lizlin

You too worz xx

grannyrose

2:46 am

grannyrose

enjoy worzel

2:46 am

worzel

2:46 am

Lizlin

Oh! Silly moi. You don't mean soccer!

2:47 am

grannyrose

roflol....we are aussies, oy, oy, oy

2:47 am

Lizlin

Football is still soccer in my mind!

2:47 am

Lizlin

So, you'll still cheer him on!

2:48 am

grannyrose

*hands on hips, head wagging* of course i will, that's what grannies do.

2:49 am

Lizlin

Of course they do. And tell him how wonderful he was, whether it's true or not!

2:49 am

grannyrose

yeah, i lie really well...like the time i told you....oops, nearly let the cat out of the bag.

2:50 am

Lizlin

grannyrose

3:26 am

sprite

I am pretty good, rose :) And yes, I think I have. I think I will try and start working with the stuff I already know. Keep attending the days at Noud's for practice. Finalise my therapy with Antoinet this year. And next year, try and start the new study.

3:27 am

sprite

hi Ishult

3:27 am

grannyrose

oh, sprite...i am soo proud of you, dear.

3:28 am

sprite

aw thank you, my dear friend :)

3:28 am

Lizlin

Sounds good, sprite.

3:28 am

grannyrose

i know the decision was a difficult one, dear. and i think you made the right one.

3:28 am

sprite

thanks Liz :)
And you, my friends? How are you today?

3:29 am

Lizlin

All's fine here thanks.

3:30 am

grannyrose

:-( i have been awake since 4am. knee woke me up, and the clock and don kept me awake..lolol. ah well, i can't have it all my way, right?

3:30 am

sprite

good to hear, Liz :)

3:30 am

Lizlin

:(

3:31 am

sprite

awww my darling... no, but it would have been nice if the knee had kept quiet. *gentle hug*

3:31 am

grannyrose

pray for me dear friends, tomorrow i am going without any slow-release strong pain med. i so want this to happen.

3:32 am

Lizlin

Good luck, Rose. But if it gets too much for you, take something. I know you want to be off the meds but ...

3:32 am

sprite

you are in my prayers all the time, hun. And you can do it. Just remember to take it really easy. Can't expect your body to do everything you do now without any pain meds... you need to take it easy.

3:32 am

grannyrose

i have to be free of this drug in order to drive the car...*sigh*

3:33 am

sprite

in time, it will all happen, rose. The only way to mess things up at this stage is to hasten it. Patience, my dear. First and formost with yourself.

3:33 am

grannyrose

i will continue to take it on hydro days....despite all beliefs, i'm not that silly.

3:33 am

sprite

foremost*

3:34 am

sprite

hehehe you aren't silly at all. Impatient, yeah, but not silly.

3:34 am

Lizlin

Don't think you're silly at all just desperate to be back to normal and independent :)

3:35 am

grannyrose

*wriggling in anticipation*

3:36 am

sprite

yep, exactly, that wriggling thing :D

3:37 am

grannyrose

oh, my. just saw a silver sugar sifter spoon go for nearly 400pounds on antiques roadshow. i have a slightly less ornate one from my mother's silverware.

3:37 am

sprite

wow, richness in the drawer :D

3:38 am

grannyrose

and did i tell you i have my great-great-great grandmother's pewter teapot? i love it?

3:38 am

sprite

oh how wonderful.

3:38 am

Lizlin

BBL hugs to you both

3:39 am

sprite

bye Liz, have a great evening

3:39 am

grannyrose

when i get around to polishing it, i will take a photo and post it..*please note the word...when*

3:40 am

sprite

hehehe whenever suits you, rose. But yes, would love to see it.

3:40 am

grannyrose

okay, liz, dear.i may be here....if this wretched woman keeps me chatting....*smiles fondly at sprite*

3:41 am

sprite

*smiles angelical and ties rose to her keyboard*

3:41 am

sprite

angelic? Angelically? Jeezzz no idea.

3:41 am

grannyrose

roflol, naughty sprite....your halo slipped, dear

3:41 am

sprite

lol, happens all the time

3:42 am

grannyrose

um, the second word, sprite, dear.

3:42 am

sprite

thanks darling. Some day I'll learn!

3:43 am

sprite

where's our little puglet? I hope she is feeling a little better... her email said so.

3:44 am

grannyrose

yes it did. and sprite, i wish i was as proficient in your native tongue.

3:44 am

sprite

you would be if you'd have learned it from your 12th year on, no doubt.

3:48 am

sprite

how's Don doing, rose? Any lingering muscle pains from the near-collision? And over his feelings of guilt?

3:49 am

grannyrose

true, sprite. but for now, i will have to rely on my school-girl french, enhanced by one of my grand-fathers, and my latin, from the other grand-father.

3:49 am

sprite

not bad at all there, rose :)

3:51 am

grannyrose

no, dear...lolol...but from having to dig trenches out of the clay...his arthritis in his shoulder and arm is very painful. i have promised both of us a massage tonight with the pain away arthritis cream.

3:52 am

sprite

oh that sounds so good! Make sure the massage gets done before things... errr.... deteriorate.... or improve... into something else...

3:52 am

grannyrose

oh, dear...and i know what you mean...it's saturday night.....love saturday night...;-)

3:53 am

sprite

:D

3:54 am

sprite

new word for the babble dictionary: mortire - to make deadly fatigued

3:54 am

grannyrose

ooh yeah...put it in, sprite

3:55 am

sprite

:) We are enriching the english language here so much.

3:58 am

sprite

there, added.

4:01 am

sprite

I know quite a few mortiring people, you? :)

4:03 am

grannyrose

i'm one...roflol

4:03 am

sprite

oh god no, you are not. Not even close. You always give me an energy boost.

4:06 am

sprite

fireflies for me. A rather friendly grid today. Darling, I am off. A big *hug* for you and enjoy the massage... both giving and receiving.

4:06 am

grannyrose

did you see simon brought the 3 little ones to visit today? my goodness...they are so active...being polite of course.

4:06 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

4:07 am

sprite

lololllll ok! Mortiring kids. But great that he brought them to visit.

4:07 am

grannyrose

and he brought flowers. you gotta love a son who brings flowers.

4:08 am

sprite

true, that! Good for him. He is learning, grin.

4:08 am

grannyrose

and we are going to watch deacon's first ever football match...should be a scream.

4:09 am

sprite

oh that is soooo sweet. Best moments of all... when they kick over the ball and still manage to keep their balance...

4:09 am

grannyrose

his age group is not supposed to tackle...he is only 5...but at the last session, he tackled a seven year old...knocked him flying...yay deacon.

4:10 am

sprite

gooooo deacon!

4:11 am

sprite

*hugs* and *poof*

4:11 am

grannyrose

finally handed over my father's stamp collection to his grandson. simon was so pleased. and i found his christening mug...i have polished it...

4:12 am

grannyrose

4:23 am

rubyfoo

4:35 am

rbud

good morning! :)

4:45 am

grannyrose

and back, have had dinner. hello ruby, xoxoxox, hello rbud, xoxoxo

4:54 am

MimiCat

Can't sleep any longer, so decided to get up and play a bit and then get to work early. Hello, everyone!

4:54 am

MimiCat

Surprised I'm so al5 at this hour!

4:54 am

grannyrose

hello, mimi. long time no see. is everything okay with you?

4:56 am

MimiCat

((rose)) Pretty good, thanks. Looks like you're doing well, yes?

4:56 am

grannyrose

yes, dear. much better this time. thanx. returning to work hopefully on the 29th april.

4:58 am

MimiCat

Good for you! I know you had it rough there for awhile. I'm really enjoying my patio. My silk trees with solar lights and color-changing stars make my little home magical every evening at dusk...happy.

5:03 am

MimiCat

Whoa---red box alert there for awhile!

5:05 am

grannyrose

yup...my last post got lost. :-(

5:06 am

MimiCat

I'm actually surprised more things like that don't happen with all those ions traveling through the air!

5:06 am

grannyrose

as i was saying....before being so rudely interrupted...you never know, mimi...one day i will be there to enjoy it with you.

5:07 am

MimiCat

Is there really a chance you might be coming for a visit? Love to meet you! I'm actually considering a trip to your area at some point as well.

5:08 am

grannyrose

hey, maybe we can meet halfway. yes, dear, with the monies from my mother's estate, next august i will be FREE.

5:09 am

MimiCat

Fabulous!! Good for you! I finally have a court date for my lawsuit so hopefully will get a settlement in June.

5:10 am

grannyrose

oh, wow!!! wouldn't it be wonderful!!

5:11 am

MimiCat

I'm planning to put most of it into investment money for the future but will have fun with part of it...travel is my first priority.

5:11 am

grannyrose

mimi, if i can't return to work this time, the company are going to have to pay me out. i am going to give it my best shot, but sometimes the pain is so bad.

5:12 am

MimiCat

Depending on how much you like work, why not just take the money and run and enjoy?!!

5:14 am

grannyrose

yeah, i know. but i love my work...and i love being not at work....i don't know...i just have to try...i don't like admitting defeat...:-(

5:15 am

MimiCat

I know you'll do the best you can but there are so many options still open to you for reinventing your life...you'll be fine either way.

5:16 am

grannyrose

yes, dear. and i hope the court decision goes your way, too.

5:18 am

MimiCat

If not, I'll be fine. After what I've been through the past 3 years, I'm just now happy to be in good shape again. I've decided that the best adjective to describe myself is tenacious!

5:19 am

grannyrose

ditto here, hun. hang in there, sweetie. i'm rooting for you...

5:22 am

MimiCat

Considering that I was seriously considering suicide at one point, there's very little that gets me down now. I'm just happy all the time and planning to stay that way. So good coming out on the other side of something terrible, isn't it?

5:22 am

grannyrose

oh, dear....jaw-breaking yawns here. i have made our bed up with my new egyptian cotton sheets today. they felt so lovely and soft. i have been awake since 4am, and it is now nearly 9:30pm. i think i might sleep tonight.

5:22 am

MimiCat

Am enjoying writing my book as well...though it's a slow process.

5:23 am

grannyrose

yes, mimi...yay for you, writing a book!!! not a thing i would consider doing...a tad out of my comfort zone...lolol

5:23 am

MimiCat

Good for you...enjoy those sheets and get really cozy.

5:25 am

grannyrose

mimi, i cried for 2 days about 2 months ago...and drank the better part of a bottle of bourbon. no repeats...and have had grief counselling since. so i, too, am gonna make it. you and i...we are survivors.

5:25 am

MimiCat

I've written all my life...wrote a one-act play when I was 10. I've had so many people tell me I should write an autobiography that I finally decided to do so. Aloy actually made me really good about it since she said it would be a good way to "teach" and show people ways to get to the other side of tragedy.

5:26 am

grannyrose

wow!!! let me know when it is printed...seems to me it will be a 'must' read.

5:27 am

MimiCat

I've had a lot of loss in my life but I mostly choose to focus on what I've gained instead. I am now a very strong woman and I'm grateful for that every day.

5:28 am

MimiCat

I never envisioned that I'd end up living alone at this point in my life but I'm really LOVING it. I have so many interests and such good people in my life...I feel blessed. I know my angels were working overtime there for awhile.

5:29 am

MimiCat

And Babble is such an amazing gift! I get to "talk" to people like YOU!

5:30 am

MimiCat

I'm going to make some breakfast and then get to work early so I can have the rest of the day for fun. Get some rest and sleep well, dear. So good to touch base with you. Big hug.

5:31 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, mimi....watch it...my head is beginning to swell. the shoe is on the other foot, my dear. it is MY privilege to get to 'speak' to people like you.

5:32 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and xoxox mimi

5:33 am

grannyrose

night to all who follow. hope you enjoy the grid. xxxx's to all my friends.

we are seeing our first rainy days since last year;)) we are slowly saying goodbye to the snow.

6:25 am

zoozzoom

Been a mild winter for us..but very wet...ground is still sodden.

6:25 am

"good bye crossy's snow"

6:26 am

6:26 am

crosshair

it was fun, but now the snowshoes are put away and the hiking stick and day pack are poised and ready:)

6:27 am

zoozzoom

Ye i cam imagine it being a beautiful place to walk in spring & summer, Crossy.

6:27 am

crosshair

took a practice hike the other day and it is amazing how one activity does not mean you are prepared for the other. crossy is so out of shape;(

6:28 am

crosshair

it is amazing zooz, but I know you guys have some lovey areas for it as well

6:28 am

zoozzoom

Agreed..I too am no where as fit as i used to be.

6:28 am

rubyfoo

my "hiking" is limited to 20 minutes of walking my pup on our road. Beyond that, I want to lie down

6:29 am

crosshair

see ruby? you help the dog and the dog helps you with nice walkies;)

6:29 am

rubyfoo

I have gained a lb. of muscle!

6:30 am

crosshair

yaaa!

6:30 am

crosshair

last pic I saw of you, you look like you weight 80 pounds soaking wet, so a pound of muscle is a good thing!

6:31 am

crosshair

weigh*

6:31 am

rubyfoo

I hoved around 100 lbs., so one lb. of muscle inmy calves is a very good thing. I didn't know you could add muscle at my age

6:34 am

zoozzoom

I clued it at 6:26 Crossy.

6:34 am

rubyfoo

amaing, zzoozz! I'll take anything you can send, crossy! Does fedex accept refridgerated fat?

6:34 am

crosshair

6:35 am

zoozzoom

LOL

6:35 am

crosshair

ahh ty zooz

6:35 am

zoozzoom

you two are terrible..lol

6:35 am

rubyfoo

3 ruby's could be a easurement. Like Helens-- if it took a Helen to launch a thousand ships, you could judge beauty by the number of ships

6:35 am

rubyfoo

or the numer of Helens

6:35 am

rubyfoo

number*

6:36 am

crosshair

for example "Although she may only weigh but a single "ruby" she has a face of ten "Helens""

6:37 am

zoozzoom

I weigh next to nothing..if the winds picks up i go with it..lol

6:38 am

rubyfoo

{{crosy}]

6:38 am

rubyfoo

how much do you weigh, zzoozz, in stone is OK I can calculate

6:38 am

crosshair

16 pounds to a stone?

6:39 am

zoozzoom

Just about 9st dripping wet...yet i can easily eat for two.

6:39 am

crosshair

i forget what a stone weighs

6:39 am

rubyfoo

126 lbs.

6:40 am

zoozzoom

Depends how big the stone is, Crossy, LOL

6:40 am

crosshair

nm. got it a unit measure of "stone" = 14 pounds

6:40 am

It is 14 pounds in a stone, Crossy.

6:46 am

crosshair

we had a friend who got a card that was mailed 15 years ago!. seems it was badly addressed and ended up in our version of the "dead letter" office where they try to decipher peoples handwriting. Unfortunately it fell between a space between a desk and a wall and sat there for all that time until they redecorated the space. it was then translated, and sent off.

6:47 am

rubyfoo

this was correctly addressed, had more than 6 OX dollar in postage, and was in good shape. Hard to imagine

6:47 am

Lizlin

Wow! That's quite a story.

6:47 am

bye Zooz

send the envelope back to your friend - he/she should demand a refund!

6:47 am

crosshair

The sender who was the father of the recipient had passed in the interm, so it became a cherished thing upon arrival

6:48 am

Lizlin

That's really nice - at least it got to the right recipient.

6:49 am

crosshair

sometimes i miss getting real letters(other than bills)

6:49 am

rubyfoo

that's a nice story, crossy. My friend and I just had an electronic chuckle

6:49 am

Lizlin

Same here - I'm always hopeful!

Mail will probably all be gone in a few years

I suspect you're right, Lyn. Most bills are paid by phone or on the internet now too.

6:51 am

Lizlin

Hi Annie

6:51 am

Anniebrook

Hi lynxxx :)

6:51 am

crosshair

the price of a single postage stamp here is going up to a dollar!

6:51 am

Anniebrook

and Liz, I am doing one of your jigsaw puzzles. I might finish by 2015 but it is very enjoyable.

6:51 am

Lizlin

Which one, Annie?

6:52 am

Lizlin

I'm glad you're enjoying it.

6:52 am

Anniebrook

The Sunday beach scene.

6:52 am

godthaab

$!.00 !!! When?

6:52 am

Lizlin

I can always create one with fewer pieces. I remember that - it was a lovely afternoon for a walk.

6:52 am

crosshair

just recently

6:53 am

crosshair

so, if i paid all my bills by mail, i would incur extra monthly costs of over $15/ month!

6:53 am

Anniebrook

Liz, I am happy with this one even though it will take me forever.

6:53 am

Anniebrook

A stamp in the US is 42 cents.

6:54 am

Lizlin

OK but if you want smaller ones, just ask.

6:54 am

crosshair

so, i pay everything right at the bank or online

6:54 am

Anniebrook

I will. Thanks, Liz

6:54 am

lynxxx

They say cheques will be obsolete in a couple of years too. That I can believe easily

6:55 am

crosshair

last time i used a cheque was to set up a void one for automatic deductions from an account. Cannot even remember the last time i actually filled one out

6:55 am

Lizlin

I could be wrong but i think they pretty much are in England. I haven't received a new cheque book for a couple of years.

6:55 am

crosshair

the current book i am using is well over 10 years old and still half full

6:56 am

Lizlin

Mine was useful for sending the odd cheque to my nephews for their birthdays. This year though I just transferred money direct.

6:56 am

crosshair

with 50 cheques to a book, my supply will last longer than i shall

6:57 am

lynxxx

and knowing banks soon they will bring in a large charge for processing any cheques

6:57 am

crosshair

more than likely

6:58 am

Lizlin

That wouldn't surprise me at all.

7:06 am

Lizlin

The ocean was 24 C according to the signs.

7:06 am

Lizlin

It's a tough life ;)

7:07 am

crosshair

it is funny the things you stumble over that you have yet to do in life. For example, I have yet to swim in a ocean. Have never swam in a body of salt water.

7:07 am

crosshair

Tis all fresh water lakes here:)

7:08 am

Lizlin

Where we are the rips are often too strong for actual swimming in the ocean. But I have swum in the ocean - more buoyant than in freshwater. But I prefer a pool.

7:08 am

Lizlin

The Dead Sea is the weirdest though.

7:08 am

Anniebrook

Come down to Brookllyn, crossy, I live . 2 streets awy from the Atlantic Ocean. Nice beach too. We can go to Nathans for franks and then take a ride on the Cyclone.

7:09 am

7:09 am

7:12 am

Anniebrook

sounds divine. I think my scuba diving days are behind me tho.

7:12 am

crosshair

this one is odd though annie, is sits in only 30 feet of water. you can almost reach overbard and touch it

7:13 am

lynxxx

Hi TOwl! I looked as you suggested...going to see a local Zydeco band tomorrow - unfortunately it is a final performance as they are breaking up after 25(?) years

7:13 am

Then I will reach overboard and touch it then. A nice meal and scrabble is more my speed these days.

the people at J&M Foods know me on a first name basis.:)

10:22 am

I have a favourite Danish deli - these are people who understand bacon - also thin-sliced rye bread.

mmm, deli bacon food

10:24 am

lol! they have a bacon shaving cream!

10:25 am

helensgirlkid

I have no use for shaving cream. but perhaps they have a skin cream!

10:26 am

crosshair

i know they have bacon perfume, but the mrs refuses to wear it..lol

10:26 am

helensgirlkid

I would be for outdoor events, I think!

10:26 am

the lip balm is nice. bacon kisses all day long:)

10:26 am

No matter how you like it seasoned, the secret to good popcorn is making it on the stove. That microwave stuff is gross.

10:27 am

crosshair

I would order the bacon coffin, except i plan on cremation

10:28 am

crosshair

agreed, on the stove

10:28 am

I have a new bottle of Orville Redenbaucher's in the cupboard as we speak;)

Coffee time - bbs

10:36 am

crosshair

I cannot believe i got this far into the grid and am now only seeing U.K gasoline:(

10:37 am

helensgirlkid

Forgot to say -- you pour a little melted butter over the opocorn before you toss it with the bacon and honey/chili sauce. Natch.

10:37 am

helensgirlkid

I astonnished myself last night - my third word.

10:38 am

crosshair

but of course. We must not omit the butter. :)

10:39 am

crosshair

i wonder... i make my own butter from time to time with my antique beater jar.. now, what if i take my bacon salt and use it in my butter preparation instead of regular salt? I WILL HAVE BACON BUTTER!

10:41 am

crosshair

a little of my bacon butter on your BLT with some baconaise and yer all set!

10:41 am

helensgirlkid

Wonderful! The only times I have made butter I was aiming for whipped cream - hard to go on to butter from that - but maybe I just had no idea how much salt to add. Plus, of course, necessity to empty the equipment so could get whipped cream.

10:42 am

helensgirlkid

Need just the right tomatoes, though.

10:42 am

crosshair

it is usually 2% salt for the volume of cream

10:42 am

crosshair

so weigh the cream you use and figure out 2% of that weight and you are good to go

10:43 am

helensgirlkid

I'm not sure I even thought to check - only my Larrouse would have been likely to have a recipe.

10:43 am

crosshair

that is 2% per finished pound

10:44 am

crosshair

but as always it is to personal taste

10:45 am

helensgirlkid

I have tucked a note with that info into my most often used cookbook - not that I expect to be making butter in the immediate future, but the unexpected always happens.

10:45 am

crosshair

i turn my salt into a thick ,smooth paste before adding to beater jar, using as little water as i can

10:45 am

crosshair

you can hold back some cream also and make it with that

10:46 am

helensgirlkid

That's helpful - know that I would have just dumped in the sale, and had uneve, gritty butter probably.

10:46 am

crosshair

you just to not want to add salt granules directly

10:46 am

helensgirlkid

salt

10:47 am

crosshair

yup. for that exact reason, Helen:)

10:47 am

helensgirlkid

Makes sense - butter is a great solvent of sugar, but salt - well oddly much more difficult.

10:48 am

crosshair

and it is nice doing your own butter. You know exactly whay is in it. Not like the chemical sh**storm that is margarine

10:48 am

crosshair

what

10:48 am

helensgirlkid

I am told (not very authoritatively!) that salt also is difficult to dissolve in alcohol - have never wanted to do so, so I can't comment.

10:49 am

helensgirlkid

Fortunately I have avoided margarine all my life - even at my m-in-l's table, because she always put out butter, too - her husband wouldn't touch margarine either!

10:50 am

crosshair

the density of salt vs sugar is vastly different, as well as solubility:)

10:54 am

helensgirlkid

Two days of warm sun - almost all the ice has gone - the snow mostly went fast, but it left HUGE puddles, so come evening on Wednesday we had poorly located ice rinks.

10:55 am

helensgirlkid

Mostly in parking lots.

10:56 am

hoping there's no major flooding - folks who experienced it last year must be sitting on pins and needles

10:56 am

10:57 am

There's a big snow pack to melt - hoping it won't go fast, and that we will not be competing in the "most days of rain" stakes again.

cybernan

speaking of which -- anyone watch Ken Jennings wipe the floor with his opponents Thurs. night?

11:15 am

ch1212

I was a huge Star Trek geek as a kid, ...well, okay, as an adult too. When HP came along I wasn't inclined because of the fantasy stuff (I'm a hard core science fiction fan), but the books drew me in. And the writing! Oh, what fun. Diagonally !

11:15 am

cybernan

HP -- something about the actress that plays Hermione Granger

11:15 am

bichon

Yes, we did nan. But I think he was very nervous. Not something I associated with him

11:16 am

cybernan

I think he is under a lot of pressure whenever he appears what with being top dog on the show all these years.

11:16 am

ch1212

Emma Watson. She is graduating from Brown University this spring.

hi all!

Howdy all.

3:18 pm

MollyL

Hello hi greetings salutations and howyadoin

3:22 pm

cosdem

I bought a puzzle for the first time in years

3:22 pm

cosdem

when put together, its a collage of all chicago landmarks.

3:26 pm

MollyL

How many pieces?

3:27 pm

cosdem

1000

3:28 pm

cosdem

gonna frame it when done. i have two similar framed pics. one of the muppets and one of horses. the horses one belonged to my gram. its now on my wall when she died

3:28 pm

MollyL

Oh, good luck with that. I keep smaller jigsaw puzzles around for when the power goes out. It keeps us from going mental.

3:29 pm

cosdem

Will probably do it in the summer

3:30 pm

MollyL

I don't have the patience for a puzzle that big nor the room to keep it laying around while it would take me the forever to finish it.

3:31 pm

cosdem

Yeah that was on my mind but.. Chicago!

3:31 pm

lbdawger

Clue for the en8?

3:32 pm

MollyL

That windy city, that toddlin' town.

3:32 pm

cosdem

sc6 down for the clue lbd ;)

Back for the last 12 to finish up

3:35 pm

cosdem

im in the mood for dolly madison bars

3:35 pm

bichon

what are those cos?

3:36 pm

cosdem

graham cracker crust with chocolate and coconuts

3:36 pm

cosdem

and chocolate chips

3:36 pm

bichon

yummy sounding. I like chipwich

3:36 pm

MollyL

Hello Dollys, Seven Layer Bars, they go by so many names.

3:36 pm

cosdem

i wonder if you can use agraham cracker pie crust instead of making my own crust

3:38 pm

MollyL

Same amount of work. You would have to crumble the crust up from the pie pan to a rectangular pan.

3:38 pm

cosdem

it wouldnt work in a pie pan?

3:38 pm

cosdem

just take off the sides

3:39 pm

MollyL

Oh it might, if you futz with the recipe. My recipe calls for amounts that go in a 9x13 pan.

3:39 pm

MollyL

I don't think it would taste the same though.

3:40 pm

cosdem

yeah every recipe i find calls for that. lemme try googling dolly madison pies :P

3:41 pm

cosdem

nope. just getting results for dolly madison fruit pies :P

3:41 pm

MollyL

Dolly Madison, the proud sponsor of the Peanuts Specials.

3:42 pm

cosdem

ILl just stick to tradition I guess.

3:42 pm

bichon

I have to find a recipe and make that

3:43 pm

MollyL

Those things are good, but ultra sweet. I haven't made them in years.

3:43 pm

cosdem

http://tinyurl.com/m5f5q5e

3:43 pm

bichon

FW, see you guys tomorrow

3:43 pm

cosdem

havent had them in years.. all of a sudden craving them.

3:43 pm

bichon

Thanks cos

3:43 pm

bichon

Anyone need a clue

3:47 pm

cosdem

Naw. Thanks anyway. wtg

3:50 pm

MollyL

They were all the rage in the 80's. That was back when people baked with real baking things, instead of black beans in brownies. : O

3:50 pm

cosdem

yuck!

3:52 pm

flosey

what a time to come in - blackbeans in brownies??? was that written by some 'superhealthconscious' nut

3:52 pm

smores

Hi all :)

3:52 pm

flosey

hi smores

3:52 pm

smores

Hi flosey :)

3:53 pm

MollyL

My philosophy is, if you are going to make dessert, make dessert. It wasn't meant to be "healthy" it was meant to be a sweet treat.

3:55 pm

flosey

we did go through quite a 'health conscious' kick the second time hubby had cancer - he is a survivor with many humble thanks and we've slowly gone back to a reasonably healthy lifestyle

3:55 pm

smores

lol...yes, the 80's, no low carb, low-fat, fat-free, wheat free, nut free, eggless, or lactose free substitutions at the end of the recipe

3:55 pm

MollyL

Oh don't forget gluten free. Everything under the sun is gluten free lately.

3:56 pm

flosey

I'm with you there Molly. I've beenn laid up with a nasty cold for last 2 weeks - yesterday hubby brought me a "Better than Sex Chocolate cake"

3:56 pm

smores

lol...nice

3:56 pm

flosey

and, if not better, runs a pretty darn close to equal - decadent and delicious

3:57 pm

flosey

lol Molly - how to turn great cooks away from the kitchen

3:57 pm

smores

LOL..hope you told him it wasn't "better than"

3:57 pm

MollyL

I'm going with better. Sex is rarely decadent and delicious. : D

3:57 pm

flosey

it did get quite a few giggles as he went through the store

3:59 pm

smores

I admit, I have experimented with lots of healthy dessert recipes...some weren't 1/2 bad

3:59 pm

flosey

when necessary, one can survive

4:00 pm

smores

I was cooking for a couple with serious diet restrictions and wanted to find them some alternatives.

4:01 pm

smores

personally, I still prefer all the fat and sugar left right in there where it belongs...lol

4:02 pm

flosey

I agree, smores, fortunately we have many alternates and those with such allergies are able to enjoy very normal goodies without feeling deprived

4:03 pm

flosey

me too, smores, I love sweets - too much!!

4:03 pm

smores

yes, that is nice, but some just go overboard, as Molly said, it's dessert

4:05 pm

flosey

yup, there are always those who go overboard - we do have to just simply be reasonable

4:05 pm

flosey

no dinner is complete without dessert, is it?

4:05 pm

cosdem

the GF fad is dangerous and insultign to these who are truly in need of a gf diet. thats all i will say.

4:05 pm

smores

I was buying half&half the other day and noticed "fat-free half&half....that is not possible...if it's fat-free, it cannot be half&half

4:06 pm

flosey

the other half might be a bit scarey

4:06 pm

MollyL

I agree Cos, I find it annoying when people jump on the bandwagon when their health doesn't warrant it.

4:06 pm

smores

I know, right? I'm not sure what they put in it

4:08 pm

MollyL

Fat free half and half is a mixture of nonfat milk, nondairy coffee creamer, and thickening agents. If you can dig that.

4:09 pm

smores

yuck

4:09 pm

flosey

oh, yuk

4:09 pm

smores

they shouldn't be allowed to call it half&half

4:09 pm

flosey

a mixture of artificial - hmmm, sound healthy?

4:09 pm

MollyL

It's like margarine, mostly filler and gross stuff.

4:10 pm

smores

I admit, I do use margarine...guess because that's what I grew up with

4:11 pm

smores

still love my potatoes fried up in bacon grease too...lol

4:11 pm

MollyL

Read the label on margarine sometime. I quit using it years ago, switched to butter and just use less butter.

4:11 pm

smores

nooo...I don't wanna read the label :)

4:11 pm

MollyL

That's fine, ignorance is bliss.

4:12 pm

smores

lol

4:13 pm

smores

My dad used to say if ignorance is bliss, why do we not live a happier world

4:14 pm

smores

*in

4:15 pm

smores

Be back, my dog needs out

4:16 pm

MollyL

People are all about olive oil these days. And it's great for cooking. But substituting olive oil for butter when baking is gross times ten.

4:25 pm

flosey

I take a lot of that with a grain of salt - please don't offer me butter cream frosting made with - - oil? Perhaps there's a time and a place for substitutions but one does have to use discretion

4:27 pm

MollyL

Make sure that grain of salt isn't salt substitute.
: D

4:28 pm

flosey

lol, they've come up with that too, haven't they!

4:32 pm

Bugsaw

what is the salt substitute Molly? My husband was just asking if he should use that...

4:35 pm

cosdem

I have returned. The Last Crusade just ended.

4:36 pm

cosdem

Now the hunt for the crystal skull is on.

4:36 pm

uusue2

Hi all! Glad to hear the crusades are over :-)

4:36 pm

Bugsaw

is that a good one? I thot all those modern crusade movies were bad

4:37 pm

Bugsaw

hi sue!

4:37 pm

cosdem

indiana jones and the last crusade is my absolute favorite harrison ford movie

4:37 pm

uusue2

hi bugs!

4:37 pm

cosdem

I love movies with bibilical themes

4:37 pm

uusue2

and cos!

4:38 pm

Bugsaw

oh that is a good one. I was thinking I avoid Sean Connery and Heath Ledger crusade ones

4:38 pm

cosdem

hi sue , bugs and whoever I missed!

4:38 pm

cosdem

theres an indiana jones marathon on cable :P

4:38 pm

Bugsaw

yah, lots of fighting and sex in biblical ones

4:38 pm

cosdem

bught the 10 commandments on dvd for 4.97 yeesterday

4:39 pm

cosdem

oh no thats not hwta im interested in. i like the history. fascinating

4:42 pm

MollyL

Cos, if you are into historical drama, you should see the HBO miniseries John Adams. It's really very good.

4:43 pm

cosdem

I have been wanting to see that.

4:44 pm

cosdem

I watched the Lincoln movie with Sally Field./ I hated it the first time but loved it the 2nd time. Odd.

4:44 pm

MollyL

It gives you a healthy respect for those who came before us and fought for our independence.

4:45 pm

cosdem

I should go to the used movie store todayt to see if they have it.

4:47 pm

MollyL

Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney won well deserved Emmy awards for their performances.

4:51 pm

flosey

fw at last, back at flip

4:53 pm

Soodle

Yay Flosey. Well done. I'm gutted I I missed all the fun with Lilianne last evening.

5:06 pm

MollyL

L was on a ro4 last night. The tone will never be lowered further than that, I suspect.

5:08 pm

MollyL

Unfortunately, now she will probably stay away from Babble, thinking herself unworthy or not polite enough.
: (

5:13 pm

Soodle

Not a bit of it. Lil's tongue was firmly in her cheek. She did what I have often felt like doing... shaking up the chog. More power to her elbow!

5:15 pm

fnurt

"What do you call someone who goes canoeing?" I yell loudly. "A canoer!" my 5-year-old responds. He is smarter than the Babble dictionary :(

5:17 pm

cosdem

thanks!

5:17 pm

Soodle

5 year olds are wonderful. They speak the truth. They know no boundries. I'd love to be 5 years old for the rest of my life.

5:19 pm

fnurt

It is the cutest age if you ask me

5:20 pm

MollyL

The Enable word list was compiled by old men, who wear plaid short, black socks and sandals. They have lots of nose hair and they fart a lot. They are infatuated with obscure mammals and currency of lands no one has ever heard of.

5:20 pm

cosdem

they also play WoW?

5:21 pm

fnurt

zug zug

5:21 pm

MollyL

No, probably cribbage and shuffleboard.

5:21 pm

Soodle

Five year olds can dress themselves. They can pour out a bowl of Rice Krispies for themselves for breakfast. (OK, you WILL have to clean up a horrible mess....) But they are guileless, biddable, dependant, independant , trusting and ultra-cool. Fnurt, I envy you you five year old.

5:23 pm

MollyL

Any kid under the age of 8 still knows about magic. Once they turn 8, they are lost to the world of reality that we shove upon them. : (

5:24 pm

cosdem

until they read harry potter of course

5:24 pm

cosdem

sadly I read todays pre teends are not interested in HP :( it is their parents aho are

5:25 pm

MollyL

No Cos, that just makes them remember magic. It gets forgotten once the material world takes over.

5:25 pm

jaxx7

Today's preteens don't like to read

5:26 pm

fnurt

my 7 year old is a big reader... even though they have so many devices to distract them these days

5:26 pm

MollyL

When would they read? Their parents are too busy taking them to soccer, karate, dance class and "play dates" (ugh)

5:27 pm

jaxx7

Then you are lucky fnurt. You probably set them a good example

5:27 pm

Soodle

Then again, I can't point to a particular age when my lot were obnoxious. I can truly say I loved every single moment of their growing up. (Can somebody pass the tissues, please...)

5:28 pm

jaxx7

My eight year old grandson is obnoxious

5:28 pm

Soodle

Really, Jax?

5:28 pm

jaxx7

Yes, really

5:29 pm

MollyL

We can always count on Soodle for the high drama. *Tissues and keening for all!!*

5:29 pm

jaxx7

There are times when I could really strangle the little twerp

5:30 pm

Soodle

Ha ha ha. Well, your honesty is refreshing. Tell me, Jaxx, is he your son or daughter's offspring?

5:31 pm

MollyL

Is he spoiled Jaxx?

5:31 pm

jaxx7

my daughter who is also obnoxious

5:32 pm

jaxx7

Yet my grand-daughter who is also my daughter's child is an absolute sweetie

5:32 pm

Soodle

Good heavens. I assumed he was the spawn of a son of yours, and you disapproved of the way his mother was rearing him. Interesting....

5:32 pm

jaxx7

I disapprove of my daughter's behaviour

5:34 pm

Soodle

((((Jaxx)))) that sounds like a difficult situation.

5:34 pm

jaxx7

She was lovely until she hit 14 and then she went downhill from there. I look at her and wonder where she came from, and I don't mean biologically

5:36 pm

Soodle

Thats a difficult place to be Jaxx. I'm sorry for your troubles.

5:37 pm

jaxx7

I wait and wonder what she will do next. She hasn't a maternal bone in her body. She is so selfish and her taste where men are concerned is all in her mouth

5:38 pm

Soodle

How old is your daughter?

5:38 pm

jaxx7

36

5:39 pm

Soodle

Old enough to know better.

5:39 pm

jaxx7

Quite

5:39 pm

Soodle

Do you take care of her 2 kids?

5:40 pm

jaxx7

One is 16, the other ( the obnoxious one) is 8

5:41 pm

Soodle

And do you have other children, Jaxx?

5:41 pm

jaxx7

We have looked after both of them since they were born

5:41 pm

jaxx7

I had a son who died in 2005 - suicide

5:43 pm

Soodle

Oh, poor Jaxx. How awful. My heart goes out to you. That must have been the worst possible blow. (((Hugs)))

5:45 pm

jaxx7

Thanks, Soodle. I think Tim's behaviour overshadowed his sister and caused the attention seeking bad behaviour. He has been dead for 8 years but she still throws up 'it would be different if my name was Tim'

5:48 pm

Soodle

Jaxx, you have an awful lot on your plate. Almost too much for one person to bear. I feel huge sorrow and empathy for you. Can anybody here on Babble help you in any way?

5:50 pm

jaxx7

I have my husband who is a tower of strength. Our genes just didn't combine that well.

5:50 pm

rururocks

I feel like I'm checking into an Al-Anon..meeting

5:51 pm

jaxx7

No, it is a parents-anon meeting and it is over now so you can relax

5:51 pm

fnurt

it's my fault, I brought up my 5-year-old who knows what a canoer is

5:51 pm

Soodle

Psshh... You will NEVER find Soodle at an al anon meeting!

5:51 pm

MollyL

I'm glad Jaxx has a husband to lean on. Other than supportive words, I'm not sure that people on Babble are here to offer help.

5:52 pm

Soodle

Well, supportive words can help.

5:53 pm

jaxx7

Soodle, I have learned to take one day at a time and I try not to look back and I don't plan ahead. That said, I am researching my family tree which has been equally depressing at times.

5:53 pm

MollyL

Fnurt, that is guilt talking. Are you Irish? : D

5:54 pm

MollyL

*Checks post* Yep, I did say "other than supportive words. Whew.

5:54 pm

jaxx7

On my father's side I would add. My mother's side is Irish and full of life even centuries later

5:55 pm

fnurt

I am Jewish, we have plenty of guilt over here too

5:55 pm

Soodle

Jaxx.... I admire you hugely. Well done. You will get there. AS for Fnurt...... What Molly said1

5:55 pm

MollyL

Oh of course, I should have said Irish or Jewish.
: D

5:56 pm

jaxx7

It does help to unburden but it can also, as ruru said, spoil the chog for others

5:56 pm

Soodle

Oh, Holy Moses.... Jewish crossed with Irish....? the guilt, the guilt...

5:57 pm

MollyL

I think she said she's Jewish. No crossed with Irish. God save anyone who has to deal with that mix.

5:57 pm

rururocks

Wouldn't that make him a cashew?

5:58 pm

jaxx7

let's find something to chat about. I guess the Bison weren't predicting the end of the world as we are all still here?

5:58 pm

Soodle

Jaxx, for what it's worth, my email is medickinson@eircom.net. Feel free to use it.

6:00 pm

Soodle

I think I have lived through about 9 'end of the worlds'. Pretty awesome that I'm still here.

6:00 pm

jaxx7

Thanks, Soodle. When things are really bad, I will start swimming across to Ireland, the land of my grandfathers.I shall expect to see you on the shore with a big tot of Irish Whiskey

6:01 pm

Soodle

Where in the world are you Jaxx, the UK or the USA?

6:01 pm

MollyL

9 End Of The Words? *Cues up sad, melancholy, violin music*

MollyL

Soodle, you must be a ton of fun at dinner parties.

6:02 pm

Devon, UK, on the channel coast. Just turn right and swim past Cornwall and across the Irish Sea.

6:02 pm

6:03 pm

Soodle

I could very well be, Molly, if I was ever invited to a dinner party....

6:03 pm

jaxx7

Well done fnurt

jaxx7

It would be Devonian boat people ruru

6:04 pm

Puh-lease. Not a jig on my playlist. Sheesh

6:10 pm

smores

6:10 pm

MollyL

Don't mind me. I was raised by a melodramatic Irish mother. My tolerance for melodrama got used up when I was quite young.

6:10 pm

jaxx7

Why ever not? Toe tapping

6:10 pm

rururocks

the end of the world smores.. volcanoes and rampaging bison.. where you been?

6:12 pm

MollyL

Oh, I will never stop being amused by the UK/American linguistic chasm.

6:12 pm

Soodle

the only songs that make it onto my playlist are songs that have words. And words that make sense. I love story songs. Ones that I can warble along to in private.

6:12 pm

jaxx7

From the sound of it that was what everyone was expecting in Yellowstone

6:13 pm

smores

guess I missed it

6:13 pm

rururocks

those bison in Yellowstone are pretty pampered

6:13 pm

smores

sounds like a load of bull

6:13 pm

jaxx7

Makes a change from being slaughtered

6:14 pm

jaxx7

ruru, you missed that one

6:15 pm

MollyL

Warble if you must. But can we please, for the love of God, keep this an ABBA Free Zone?

6:16 pm

jaxx7

Shall I whisper this? I quite like Abba

6:16 pm

MollyL

Oh here we go.

6:17 pm

Just what we need. Someone to encourage Soodle and her ABBA obsession. : O

6:19 pm

jaxx7

I think they compose perfect sing-a-long records

6:21 pm

Soodle

I feel I must clarify.... I am not obsessed with Abba. I am obsessed with Mama Mia. I love that movie with a passion previously reserved for Mary Poppins. I cannot explain it. I just love it. Advance apologies to anybody I offended.

6:21 pm

jaxx7

I enjoyed that movie too, soodle and it kept the little twerp quiet too

6:22 pm

smores

not a big fan...but certainly not offended

6:22 pm

Soodle

Meryl Streep, her scarf, and her rendition of The Winner Takes It All is enough to reduce this tough cookie to a quivering mess. Shoot me.

6:23 pm

jaxx7

No. Who would I e-mail then?

6:25 pm

crosshair

Good evening everyone. Back for my last 55.. I hope :)

6:25 pm

jaxx7

Evening, Crossy

Soodle

crosshair

soodle, jaxx :)

6:27 pm

jaxx7

Molly is here somewhere- brooding

6:27 pm

jaxx7

6:29 pm

crosshair

"does not bother me, soodles. my da used to wear out abba records from playing them so much

6:30 pm

jaxx7

Soodles was trying to cheer me up which she had already done successfully before we got to Abba

6:30 pm

crosshair

6:30 pm

MollyL

No, not really, I don't brood.

6:31 pm

ChrissieDee

6:31 pm

6:31 pm

Soodle

No no no. It's not Abba. It's Mama Mia. Its a Greek Island with three handsome men. It's blue skies and white beaches. It's .... what i want!

6:31 pm

jaxx7

If I did I would permanently ruin the chog

6:31 pm

MollyL

I'm not much for keening either.

You missed out the handsome Greek

6:38 pm

rururocks

I'm half greek :D

6:38 pm

MollyL

*Wonders about a big six-string*

rururocks

I'm not butt ugly either though

jaxx7

Doesn't matter. Soodles wants to do a Greta Garbo

6:40 pm

Soodle

Jaxx... Ruru is the Babble pinup.

6:40 pm

jaxx7

It is the inner man that matters, ruru

6:41 pm

rururocks

innerly .. I'm saintly

6:41 pm

MollyL

And a gentleman too. O-: )

6:41 pm

Soodle

Yikes, Lil Monkey... that was freudian!

6:41 pm

With a liking for risque puns - I am not sure about that

6:42 pm

rururocks

I AM a gentleman

6:42 pm

rururocks

6:42 pm

MollyL

No, Lil just posted the "right" lyric to the song.

6:43 pm

6:43 pm

It was your battle or rather a dream of Greece and solitude

6:45 pm

MollyL

"It's up to Soodle"? Those are dangerous words.

6:45 pm

Good lad

Y'all can wail ABBA all you want. I've spent plenty of time listening to bad music.

6:47 pm

There we are back to Abba

6:48 pm

MimiCat

Hey, I just got here---and must support my Soodle!!!

6:48 pm

Soodle

I think this is a good time for me to say good night to all. Nothing any of ye says will deter me from Mama Mia. I am unflinching. Humming Our Last Summer as I wander off to the Soodle Pit. Night all

6:49 pm

jaxx7

Soodle, thanks for 'listening' and if you like Abba and Mama mia then carry on singing

6:49 pm

Soodle

Mimi, you are clearly a lady of impeccable taste. No wonder I am very fond of you.

6:49 pm

MimiCat

I own the movie and every time I see that scene where she's singing to her daughter I sob uncontrollably...and, hey, does anyone else miss DISCO? Oh, oh...now I'm in for a tongue lashinng!

6:49 pm

crosshair

gn, soodles, I admire your determination:) sing it like no one is listening!

6:49 pm

MollyL

Good night Mimi's Soodle

6:49 pm

6:51 pm

MimiCat

I'm listening, ruru...ever present, ever listening, all-knowing...no, wait..that's God...and I know he's not a woman.

6:51 pm

rururocks

you do?

6:51 pm

MollyL

*Puts on Saturday Night Fever sound track for Mimi...hands our ear plugs for the rest of us*

6:52 pm

rururocks

I'm kinda guessing if god isn't a woman.. then he must not be a man either

6:52 pm

MimiCat

Yep---and he hates old women....and probably his mother.

6:52 pm

crosshair

God is from Seti Aplha 6 A nice surprise for rapture day

6:52 pm

MollyL

Out...out ear plugs

6:53 pm

rururocks

I'm kinda wishing that Swedish guy had taken out Abba instead of all those school children

6:53 pm

MollyL

Wow, kind of a bitter version of God.

6:53 pm

MimiCat

Molly, I have fond memories of doing a very sexy dance with a feather boa for my would-have-been husband to Hot Stuff--Donna Summer...to quote another song, "Oh, what a night!"

6:54 pm

MimiCat

Think about it, Molly...gravity no longer a friend, hormones drive you insane, men get distinguished while we become hags...nope, if God was a woman he's do all this to THEM.

6:54 pm

MimiCat

Funny, ruru.

6:55 pm

rururocks

is that the basis of your hypothesis mimi?

6:55 pm

MimiCat

Yep...that's my story and I'm stickin' to it! I've also already had a large martini.

6:56 pm

crosshair

mm.. martinis

6:56 pm

MimiCat

Won't get into the metaphysical for real...don't actually think of God as one entity anyway...I'm kind of a "power of the universe" kind of gal.

6:56 pm

crosshair

:)

6:56 pm

MimiCat

((crossy)) My court date is in June...when the money hits, I'll be there!

6:57 pm

MollyL

Men get distinguished? Men get bald, fat and boring. I have seen very few men over 50 who don't look like gnomes.

6:57 pm

crosshair

door is always open for you ((mimi))

6:58 pm

MollyL

And not all women become hags.

6:58 pm

crosshair

wow, molly, a bitter version of men..

6:58 pm

crosshair

6:58 pm

rururocks

<---not bald .. not fat... not gnomish

6:58 pm

MollyL

Notice I said "very few" Ru. : D

6:59 pm

crosshair

crossy has a full head of hair...

6:59 pm

MimiCat

You're hanging out in the wrong places, Molly. I was absolutely crazy for a doctor I used to work for when I was 22 and he was in his 40s...every time he came near me I blushed...then he went on a canoe trip, fell out, got pinned under a rock and drowned. But he was plenty gorgeous until then.

6:59 pm

crosshair

and at 6 foot 2 there is nothing gnomish about this rugged mass of muscle lol

7:00 pm

crosshair

hell of a way to go, mimi:(

7:00 pm

MimiCat

Be still my heart.....glad I have lots of batteries...

7:00 pm

snags

wish you all could hear my sister go off about men...............

7:00 pm

snags

yokes.

7:00 pm

MollyL

No, I don't hang out in the wrong places. Again, I said very few. And the best part about older men who are actually good looking is their humility.

7:00 pm

crosshair

get the lithium ones molls;)

7:00 pm

MimiCat

Leave it to me to totally drag down the tone of the chog.

7:00 pm

snags

yikes

7:01 pm

MimiCat

Mimi, crossy...mimi has the batteries.

7:01 pm

crosshair

7:01 pm

rururocks

MimiCat

Hey, I've been alone a LONG time.

7:03 pm

crosshair

lol, a harsh mistress. use them up and toss them aside;)))

7:04 pm

MimiCat

Oh, but like Bill Withers says "If it feels this good getting used, you just keep on using me until you use me up." â™ª

7:04 pm

crosshair

lol

7:04 pm

snags

well, cross, ruru, put the shoe on the other foot, what's your opinions about women?

7:05 pm

MollyL

I love Bill Withers, but I always found that song so self defeating.

7:05 pm

crosshair

kind of like women. even married one:)

7:05 pm

rururocks

I enjoy women in many ways snags

7:05 pm

MimiCat

My idea of the perfect relationship is a guy who lives out of town and we only get together monthly...that way it's always fun and new and never too real...no more reality...had enough reality..looking for a good fantasy.

7:06 pm

crosshair

she has saved my life and I have saved hers. My soul(such as it is) is all hers.

7:06 pm

MollyL

Mimi is trying to live Same Time Next Year on a monthly basis.

7:06 pm

snags

but what about just making them disposable?? Like a pamper diaper, when it has served it's purpose, toss it away.

7:06 pm

rururocks

they are generally much smarter than us men.. more detail oriented, and read people better

7:06 pm

MollyL

*Puts violin music back on*

7:06 pm

crosshair

rururocks

At this point in my life.. meeting lots of people would be fun and interesting

MimiCat

I'm actually not dating at all now...too many other things to do and not enough time to do them all...I'm happy with cats.

7:07 pm

rururocks

I was married thirty and the last three almost killed me

7:07 pm

crosshair

mimi, the cat lady:))

7:08 pm

MollyL

Okay, if you are going to shoot the violinist, then YOU read the Hallmark cards.

7:08 pm

rururocks

*ties fingers*

7:08 pm

snags

Then that is all that matters. As long as you are happy, more power to you

7:08 pm

MimiCat

It's a whole different thing if you found your soul mate and lost him...I don't think I ever did find mine...maybe in my next life. But it wasn't for lack of trying!

7:08 pm

crosshair

lots of time yet, mimi. We had a couple here in a retirement home get married in their 90,s

7:09 pm

MollyL

Cats...not going there...no I am not. Ever.

7:15 pm

crosshair

well, life is too short not to enjoy it once in a while;0

7:16 pm

MimiCat

I can't even go there, ruru...I was so terribly neglected in my marriage...stayed too long for the kids...mistake..they don't even appreciate it.

7:16 pm

snags

Mimi, dont forget, lawyers are gonna take a big bite!!

7:16 pm

MimiCat

Yep--they get 25%...ouch! But I probably wouldn't get anything without them.

7:17 pm

snags

7:17 pm

MimiCat

Two of them are former Social Security judges.

7:17 pm

crosshair

7:26 pm

rururocks

I'm guessing 8's are luckier than 7's mimi?

7:27 pm

crosshair

why is that humiliating?

7:27 pm

MimiCat

I've decided to end a 44-year friendship that has become toxic to me, snags. But, per her personality and one of the reasons I've made the decision, she won't respect my wishes.

7:27 pm

crosshair

some people(and I know many) do not do well with phone conversations. Me? I do not care. I will call Obama if need be:)

7:27 pm

mkg

any clues for the en 8? two words or one?

7:28 pm

MimiCat

Maybe humiliating isn't the best word...especially since her mother is yelling at me saying I "owe" them....and I DO NOT. Way past time to cut bait.

7:28 pm

crosshair

yup. get rid of the poison in your life

7:28 pm

MollyL

Pathetic Mimi, pathetic is the word you are looking for.

8:05 pm

MimiCat

Hey..yes, I'm back for a minute...has anyone seen Blue Jasmine? I'm watching it tonight. Love Cate Blanchett but not sure about Woody Allen anymore. He used to be the thinking man's comic...now is he the thinking man's pedophile? Or is that a contraction in terms.

8:05 pm

cosdem

19799? I would be 1000 years old.

8:05 pm

crosshair

mimi, would you come and type for crossy?

8:06 pm

rururocks

I boycott woody Allen movies now.

8:06 pm

MimiCat

Would LOVE to, crossy..not sure I'd do a better job after two martinis!

8:06 pm

crosshair

tonight, I think you just might;)

8:07 pm

crosshair

why, ruru? what has Woody done now?

8:07 pm

MimiCat

Maybe...I'm good...I'm very , very good. â˜º

8:07 pm

cosdem

I'm a new fan of Rowan Farrow on MSNBC. Love his show. (Mia's son)

8:07 pm

rururocks

Open crossy..*brings a tounge..suppressor*

8:08 pm

crosshair

get away from me with that thing!

8:08 pm

MimiCat

Cos...when is his show?

8:08 pm

cosdem

11am MST weekdays.

8:08 pm

crosshair

since I do not follow his movies, I have no idea what the man is up to. thought he was dead, actually:)

8:09 pm

cosdem

the oscars just honored him this year and he, as usual, was a no show.

8:09 pm

rururocks

Well crossy..He has allegedly molested his young daughter on multiple occasions

8:09 pm

MimiCat

Thanks...after all, nice to watch Frank Sinatra's son!

8:09 pm

cosdem

hes quite the looker too ;)

8:10 pm

MissOmnibus

hey all

8:10 pm

crosshair

I must look at the news once in a while, but if he broke the law he should go to jail.

8:10 pm

MollyL

I thought a contraction in terms was when they say PUSH!!!

8:10 pm

MimiCat

Money talks...loudly.

8:10 pm

crosshair

howdy, miss

8:11 pm

rururocks

I am having contractions

8:11 pm

MissOmnibus

8:11 pm

MollyL

*Gets Ru ice chips and a focal point*

8:11 pm

crosshair

8:11 pm

MimiCat

Funny...yep...martinis kicking in....

8:12 pm

rururocks

Looks for the epidural

8:12 pm

MimiCat

Wow---I left out a whole lot of that word!

8:12 pm

MimiCat

See, crossy....you do not want me typing for you!

8:12 pm

crosshair

my wife had a focal point.. it involved breaking all the bones in my left hand and turing them into paste...

8:13 pm

MollyL

Mimi, how was the carbon monoxide?

8:13 pm

MimiCat

It is good...still eating, Molly.

8:13 pm

MimiCat

monoxide...I get it...slowly..

8:14 pm

MimiCat

Hey, at this point I should just shut up and look pretty...well, at least shut up!

8:14 pm

MollyL

*Places wet wipes next to Mimi's keyboard*

8:14 pm

MimiCat

Thanks, Molly...I needed those!

8:14 pm

crosshair

crossy gets mimi a bendy straw for her martini..

8:14 pm

cosdem

I think I had too one too much shot and umm yeah

8:15 pm

MollyL

I thought that was a quick dinner, but then Jill left for lunch recently and was back in six minutes. I figured speed eating was a Babble forte.

8:15 pm

MimiCat

It occurred to me that when one cannot laugh at oneself, you are missing out on a very funny person!

8:15 pm

rururocks

If mimi.. had a boyfriend over .would she be carbon dating?

8:15 pm

MimiCat

I'm into speed cooking and slow eating..it's a gift.

8:16 pm

MollyL

*Puts aspirin and a BIG glass of water on Cos's bedside table*

8:16 pm

8:17 pm

crosshair

8:17 pm

MollyL

Those automated teller machines are a bother.

8:17 pm

cosdem

i shall be right back, dont you fret

8:17 pm

MimiCat

I can never leave a recipe alone...I like to put a little tomato paste in my carbonara...would smear it all over my body but then would have to do too much laundry.

8:18 pm

crosshair

food porn!!

8:18 pm

MollyL

I am a writer and a lover of words. It is my respect for other writers that makes me quote a source.

8:18 pm

MimiCat

It's the only kind I have available ATM, crossy!

8:19 pm

crosshair

8:19 pm
