2:53 am

sprite

gerund grids are often big.

2:53 am

grannyrose

pugs, you need a shot of pure glucose. if you haven't any , put a teaspoonful of sugar into orange juice.

2:53 am

puglet

OO will be happy with this big one

2:54 am

sprite

sanskrit word for pussy, I think

2:54 am

grannyrose

yo4, yo + **ght, not day

2:54 am

puglet

okay Rose-will do

2:54 am

sprite

I think pugs can check her blood levels... don't you have the stuff for your sister? Might be good to check and if too low, to take some sugar.

2:55 am

worzel

ty mum and finally can i have a clue for any of the 7 i's in the fourth column for nbt? xx

2:55 am

grannyrose

sprite, pugs is waiting for test strips which are 'in date '

2:55 am

puglet

I do and I will here in a few if I dont feel better

2:55 am

sprite

do it now, darling. It won't take long and if you are too low, you will feel so much better after you remedied it.

2:56 am

puglet

I didnt eat much last night and I think thats why Iam feeling like Iam

2:56 am

grannyrose

grannyrose

2:59 am

2:59 am

worzel

When I become rich and can afford the flights lol - unless you send your garden over to me - then I can do it from here!! xx

3:01 am

grannyrose

sprite, i had walked several miles, and not eaten anything except an apple the day before. i really think God sends me these lessons, so that i know how to help others.

3:02 am

sprite

glad you checked, pugs, before taking sugar. A bit of exercise might make you feel better.

3:02 am

grannyrose

hmmm, pugs, glad you are seeing the doctor tomorrow.

3:02 am

sprite

today even, I think?

3:03 am

puglet

3:03 am

puglet

yes here in a few hours

3:03 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah, it's tuesday morning with pugs...tuesday night with me

3:03 am

sprite

it is because you haven't eaten enough, pugs. Then the body hasn't enough sugar and starts taking it out of the liver and all.

3:04 am

grannyrose

because my darling pugs, you are not producing enough insulin to process the sugars in your diet.

3:05 am

grannyrose

what do you reckon, sprite? a piece or two of toast, or a sandwich? something which takes a while to process?

3:06 am

gapeach

in6-21 please....thanks

6:27 am

sprite

nbt and over half, missing the 10 for nbs

6:27 am

rubyfoo

however, I excised most of the yellow weeds/wildflowers from the bottom garden. It is beautiful down there as there is a wildflower, about 15" tall in bright purple covering most of the ground. So beautiful

sprite

awww what a shame, bichon :(

6:32 am

crosshair

bichon, will send you some of our fresh snow that fell last night(and is still falling)

6:32 am

bichon

Winter just doesn't want to give up this year

6:33 am

sprite

you got all the winter we didn't get this year

6:33 am

crosshair

what is the difference tween French honey and English honey?? The English honey has bad teeth and the French honey has a attitude about it?? lol

6:33 am

rubyfoo

we never had much winter, so the ticks are rife

6:33 am

bichon

Don't you have tic applications in France?

6:34 am

sprite

roflol crossy! Today the difference is that the english one is a phantom and the french one isn't valid

6:34 am

crosshair

yes, we should count our blessings. No ticks

6:34 am

rubyfoo

when my son was a baby, still without teeth, I used to bake bread and put honey butter on it for him to gum

6:34 am

sprite

we have an amazing amount of mosquitos now, and I fear the wasps later in summer.

6:35 am

o-o

the ticks no longer go with the tocks at my place.

6:35 am

crosshair

no mosqiotos here either..

6:35 am

sprite

oh, I did the same thing with my kids, ruby!

6:35 am

rubyfoo

I think our local bats take care of the mosquitos

6:35 am

crosshair

no bats..

6:35 am

sprite

lolol o-o! I often feel the same way.

6:35 am

sprite

we definitely need more bats then

6:35 am

crosshair

no nothing.. lol

6:35 am

bichon

Bats in the US have a virus which is killing them off

6:35 am

rubyfoo

husband even got a tick yesterday. So far 3 on dogs and 3 on carpet. I've gotten over being squeamish about them

6:35 am

sprite

moose though, crossy

6:36 am

sprite

oh that is horrible, bichon

6:36 am

crosshair

moose are sleeping

6:36 am

rubyfoo

white nose fungus

6:36 am

crosshair

ewww

6:36 am

rubyfoo

6:36 am

o-o

no doubt the price of guano will go up

6:36 am

rubyfoo

let sleeping moose lie or maybe tell the truth

6:36 am

sprite

I love bats too. Not so hot on white nose fungus though

6:36 am

crosshair

I would not even know how to properly remive a tic. Have never seen one

6:37 am

sprite

pricey shit

6:37 am

rubyfoo

so to speak.....

6:37 am

o-o

the good news is belly button lint has gone up $2.00 a ton

6:37 am

sprite

never use alcohol and do use a tick pen or pincher. The important thing is to get the head out whole.

6:37 am

bichon

We give the dogs a tick application so they don't engage. You can just pull them off and drop them in the toilet

6:38 am

crosshair

good I can finally sell!

6:38 am

rubyfoo

it depends, crossy, bbefore they're embedded and full of blood, I can get them out just using my fingernails. Once they're entrenched, so to speak, I use a special tick hook

6:38 am

sprite

oh, time for me to start digging for belly button lint!

6:38 am

rubyfoo

I was afraid to use the application because they lick each other, but I finally put it on them today

6:39 am

bichon

the application quickly enters the skin and disperses

6:39 am

crosshair

ewww! give me a charging moose or bear anytime over creepy crawlies burrowing into your skin and engorging themselves with your blood

6:39 am

o-o

should eliminate and on their tongues

6:40 am

6:41 am

6:41 am

6:42 am

Hello everyone! Nice big grid for a rainy day!

7:16 am

hi car. :)

7:16 am

MollyL

Let me know how you like it. I have one, but I'm still an old stuck in the mud and prefer real books. : )

7:18 am

Anniebrook

I prefer real books too but my friend is up here from Florida and she showed me her Kindle and I want to look at one without all the bells and whistles. Molly, do you use your Kindle a lot?

7:21 am

MollyL

I used mine very rarely Annie. Usually when I am stuck waiting somewhere. But I still keep a paperback in my purse, because a book never needs to be charged. : )

7:22 am

car.eeyore

<---- love my Kindle

7:22 am

Anniebrook

Differing likes and dislikes. Barbara loves her Kindle. I love books. Will try to keep an open mind.

7:22 am

MollyL

I also don't care for reading from a screen. But I am among the few, most people rave about them.

7:23 am

Uneaixoise

same for me -- but a friend and her hubby had several and recently gave me one of their older models for free -- will sit down with it and experiment soon :-)

7:24 am

Anniebrook

If I buy a Kindle, I am going to get the cheapest one which is simpler than the others. Are they easy to use? I am not a computer person.

7:24 am

If you get a Kindle or a nook, online you can get an SD chip that when you put it in, it makes either of those an android tablet. That way you get the best of both worlds. Also, I bought a nook for my father because his hand are bad and he would drop it. The nook has a hole on the bottom you can put a strap though.

11:54 am

the di8 is an odd word. one usual says: more di6

11:55 am

MollyL

And I don't call and nag you : D

11:56 am

MollyL

But then I don't call and nag the ones I gave birth to either.

11:57 am

cosdem

My mom cant nag me. I have a good job. I have a car. I'm married. Live in a house. Have 4 kids. What more could she want?

11:57 am

cosdem

Maybe to visit? :P

11:57 am

MollyL

Sorry but pets don't count as kids. Mine tried that with a cat as a grandkid.

11:58 am

cosdem

lol ok ok my brother has enough to go around.. 4 now. Wanting one more.

11:58 am

cosdem

at least my dad stopped implying that it was time to go "fishing" lol

11:58 am

MollyL

Oh lord, someone needs to smack him upside the head. 4 is more than enough.

11:59 am

cosdem

they come from these churches where women cant cut their hairs and must wear dresses

11:59 am

cosdem

they take "be fruitful and mulitply" literal I guess

12:00 pm

MollyL

Ooo, sounds Duggaresque.

12:00 pm

cosdem

yeah so IM not exactly welcome lol..

12:01 pm

cosdem

it would be too complicated to explain "uncle ryan". so im like ok whatever see ya

12:02 pm

cosdem

my brother was awesome before he married her. hes the one who helped my parents accept me... and now this. im so disappointed. such a shame.

12:02 pm

MollyL

Their loss Cos.

12:02 pm

cosdem

Is it awful that I secretly hope for a divorce for them?

12:03 pm

MollyL

And there are not many things more revolting to me than a man who is p-whipped by a woman

12:04 pm

cosdem

Whats worse is my parents live in the apartment right below theirs. Bro wants to buy a house and m y parents finally said "Thats fine but we're not going with you"

12:05 pm

cosdem

they take total advantage of them. "free daycare" and babysitting at nights. Pisses me off. they earned their retirement. they cant enjoy it now

12:05 pm

MollyL

They have 4 kids and live in an apartment?

12:05 pm

cosdem

yep. 3 girls in 1 room, the baby in the parents room

12:05 pm

cosdem

but the baby is no longer a baby. i should ask mom what the sleeping arrangements are now

12:05 pm

MollyL

Mom and Dad should move, with no forwarding address.

12:07 pm

cosdem

every time I call the kids are down with them and I ask where Ronnie is? Mom says oh they're upstairs watching tv.

12:07 pm

cosdem

why have kids if u dont want to care for them?

12:08 pm

MollyL

If your parents are providing day care for 4 kids, that is saving them a TON of money. They are in for a rude awakening if Mom and Dad ever say "no more".

12:09 pm

cosdem

They make good money too.

12:10 pm

MollyL

My guess is that one whole salary would be eaten up if they paid for day care.

12:11 pm

MollyL

And bless your folks. They raised their kids. They should not be saddled with 4 kids all day and some nights.

12:14 pm

cosdem

my brother and I weren't exactly model kids too

12:14 pm

MollyL

I'm shocked : P

12:17 pm

MollyL

Oy, bless them a hundred fold

12:18 pm

cosdem

lol yep.. now Im 1000 miles away and out of their hairs

12:22 pm

MollyL

It's funny how the guilt trip thing is a two-way street between parents and kids.

12:25 pm

bichon

cos and Molly, I made the Dolly Madisons you were talking about a while back. They were so good

12:27 pm

MollyL

They are good Bich. Very sweet though. I can only have a little bit at a time.

12:27 pm

bichon

True

12:28 pm

MollyL

They are a very popular Christmas cookie bar around here.

12:31 pm

bichon

I made brownies from scratch yesterday with a fluffy buttercream topping. Mr. Bich was drooling

12:32 pm

MollyL

Brownies from scratch are the only way to go.

12:32 pm

bichon

I love melting the chocolate with the butter. So decadent

12:33 pm

bichon

I just found out that my son is donating his genome to schience

12:33 pm

bichon

*science

12:34 pm

MollyL

: D I thought schience was Yiddish

12:34 pm

bichon

That's the Jewish genome

12:34 pm

MollyL

I don't think science wants my genome : )

12:35 pm

bichon

My father's side of the family has an interesting genome, with BRCA mutations. I didn't inherit them fortunately

12:37 pm

MollyL

That is a gene mutation for breast cancer for those of you not into abbreviations

12:37 pm

MollyL

Glad you didn't inherit, Bich

12:38 pm

bichon

Very lucky as many of the two of the four children and their descendents inherited it

12:39 pm

bichon

must go and do something else for a while, bbl

12:53 pm

cosdem

anyone here hear about the US airways accidential tweet today?

12:54 pm

MollyL

Yes, I'm so tired of Twitter. I keep hoping it will burn out.

12:54 pm

hego

tell us Cos

12:54 pm

cosdem

I saw the picture and how can you accidentally tweet them?

12:55 pm

MollyL

That is the part I don't believe.

12:55 pm

cosdem

hego they sent out picture of a woman pleasuring herself with a model airplane. thats as G rated as I can get for this story

12:55 pm

hego

hahahaha!

12:55 pm

hego

My imagination is running wild!

12:56 pm

cosdem

"We apologize and are investigating"

12:56 pm

hego

Kind of gross, actually.

12:56 pm

MollyL

You have to go through a series of steps to attach an image to what you "tweet".

12:56 pm

hego

funny

12:57 pm

cosdem

and it was an amateur picture too!

12:57 pm

hego

crazy!

12:59 pm

cosdem

she looked quite happy though :-P

12:59 pm

hego

lol

12:59 pm

MollyL

Brings a whole new meaning to flying the friendly skies.

1:00 pm

hego

indeed!

1:00 pm

cosdem

so thats where the missing plane went

1:00 pm

cosdem

*ducks*

1:01 pm

hego

Yikes!!

1:01 pm

MollyL

Oh, and the story of the missing plane. Has that sucked up more media attention than it EVER should have?

1:01 pm

cosdem

and how is your day?

1:02 pm

MollyL

Great, how's your dog?

1:02 pm

cosdem

either jules verne was right or they're dead.

1:02 pm

cosdem

or however you spell hisname

1:02 pm

ch1212

Or they're on the island of LOST.

1:02 pm

Erda

Even more that the Chris Christie bridge saga...

1:03 pm

hego

CNN, all plane, all the time!

1:03 pm

cosdem

if theyre on that island then they're dead :P

1:04 pm

MollyL

They were not dead, that is not what the end of that story meant.

1:04 pm

hego

Really is quite a mystery, though.

1:04 pm

ch1212

Not for certain --- the creators of LOST explained that not everyone on the island was dead until they actually died on the island.

1:04 pm

cosdem

I must really watch that show soon

1:04 pm

cosdem

I understand I have to force myself the first few episodes then itgets good

1:05 pm

MollyL

Ch, that is kind of a startling icon you have.

1:05 pm

MollyL

Cos, when I watched the first episode of LOST, I didn't even make it half way through. I was then convinced to give it another shot. I'm glad I did.

1:06 pm

ch1212

Yes, I finished my first go-round with the chemo cream on Sunday. Arms and hands are pretty sore and itchy now, but it's definitely killing all the cancers, both active and the pre-cancerous ones. Sunscreen, folks! :)

1:06 pm

hego

good luck to you ch.

1:08 pm

hego

not believing all these l's...cheez

1:08 pm

ch1212

Thanks -- it reminded me to update the photo and explanation. Today is 2 days post treatment, with a lot more spots that will now die, die, die ....... :D

1:09 pm

hego

out, out, damn spots!!

1:10 pm

ch1212

LOL!

Cos, we insist that you watch LOST -- all six seasons, with a full explanation of the ending... (grin)

1:11 pm

helensgirlkid

Molly, I especially appreciate the use of evergreens in your Easter basket!

1:11 pm

Riverdance

Lost is an awesome series. I loved every episode but you must watch from the beginning as it keeps building on the characters.

1:12 pm

MollyL

Okay well good and good luck to you Ch and hope there is something cheerier in your icon soon.

1:12 pm

MollyL

Helen, I grew grass in an Easter basket this year. I will see if I can post a picture later.

1:14 pm

Riverdance

2:07 pm

Judi

Hiya, Dorens!

2:07 pm

Dorens

not really lurk. I'm only trying words as fast as I can for 5 minutes here at school (no babbl expert at home) and not even looking at chat. But there is this 6th sense when one sees their own name, right?

2:08 pm

hego

peripheral vision

2:08 pm

Dorens

exactly

2:08 pm

MollyL

And the te in chat helped : P

2:10 pm

Dorens

actually hadn't seen the te in chat, but saw my name which made me look down and see the te. so, speaking of te. i could use a clue for te7

2:11 pm

MollyL

te + where grain is stored but different last vowel

2:11 pm

hego

a measure of strength of wire or cable.

2:11 pm

hego

I think

2:11 pm

Dorens

exactly, thanks

2:11 pm

2:27 pm

Judi

hego

2:30 pm

bichon

True, but I am the master of the kitchen, by myself

2:31 pm

MollyL

machines are instant weight gain.

2:31 pm

periwinkle

saanichcat

2:42 pm

flosey

hi again, what's broken? seems normal here

2:42 pm

MollyL

It gets fixed when the long post that
broke it gets flushed

2:43 pm

MollyL

Flosey, chat width gets expanded when
someone posts a long post with no breaks.
Apparently it does not affect certain posters

2:43 pm

flosey

ah, interesting

2:43 pm

flosey

thanks Molly

2:43 pm

flosey

I have seen it happen

2:43 pm

saanichcat

2:43 pm

lilliann

It didn't make any difference to mine Molly,back to lurking

2:44 pm

MollyL

Chat words run off the side of the page

2:45 pm

MollyL

It seems odd that it only affects some

2:46 pm

lilliann

It usually does affect mine but not today for some reason.Thanks for all the great clues by the way everyone...off again :)

2:46 pm

MollyL

And yes Saan, idle chat in short bursts
flushes the post that broke things

4:39 pm

I am feeling very old after my taxidriver offered to walk me across the street this afternoon.

4:40 pm

lol, very nice of him though, not alot of taxi drivers' would offer

4:40 pm

bichon

Weather nauseating here too.

4:40 pm

lilliann

My husband use help with shopping to the door

4:41 pm

jaxx7

You could see it like that I suppose. I didn't

4:41 pm

MollyL

Bich, I went out and cut my daffodils and brought them inside since they would probably wither in the cold tonight.

4:43 pm

jaxx7

Our daffs have already gone over

4:45 pm

jaxx7

I still have over 160 to go. I was late starting tonight

4:45 pm

lilliann

83 but a right slog!

4:46 pm

bichon

I think daffs are pretty hardy, right?

4:46 pm

jaxx7

yes. When growing they stop whenever the temp is below 6C

4:47 pm

lilliann

We've had alot of cold nights here with bad frost and ours have been ok.well, the wild ones over the road from me, anyway...i don't have any

4:48 pm

littlebit

Bbl...off to eat

4:48 pm

MollyL

They are hardy Bich, that is why they get planted as early risers. I just wanted some inside after the cold weather set in.

4:48 pm

bichon

I don't want to go out in this awful weather and cut wet flowers

4:49 pm

lilliann

Bye Little, enjoy your pizza:)

4:49 pm

lil*monkey

enjoy that yummy pizza, bitty

4:49 pm

jaxx7

Ours have survived the battering from the wind and rain they got in february and March. We have planted miniature varieties like tete-a-tete because their stems are shorter and don't get damaged the same .

4:49 pm

MollyL

I get that Bich, I cut mine before the temperature started plummeting.

4:49 pm

4:52 pm

lilliann

Was it windy down your way Sunday Jaxx, it was blowing a right hooley here and the trees were bent over.

4:53 pm

jaxx7

It was breezy but you had the the wind from the present Low Pressure.

4:54 pm

MollyL

Blowing a right hooley : D

4:54 pm

lilliann

It's been lovely today but cold with the breeze, it's suppose to be sunny again tomorrow and a balmy 16degrees up here.i'll be on a train picking up the bairn

4:56 pm

lilliann

I'm enjoying my nutribullet Molly.i've had loads of different drinks.All healthy so can't be bad

4:56 pm

jaxx7

same for us,lilli

4:57 pm

phandmd

hello, I think I am going to pass on this puzzle. My brain is too fried after today's day of work.

4:58 pm

MollyL

Glad you like it L. It's one of the best small appliance purchases I've ever made. I love mine.

4:58 pm

jaxx7

Hard day, phan?

4:58 pm

lilliann

Hi Phan, probably best...

4:59 pm

MollyL

<---Brain usually fried before, during and after work
: D

5:00 pm

lilliann

Aye, i definitely think it was worth the money and the bairn can use if for breakfast as she's not always hungry and i nag her to eat before school but she'll have a drink

5:01 pm

MollyL

You can slip a lot of vegetables in that breakfast drink and she will never know

5:03 pm

lilliann

She'll drink homemade juices with loads of veg, she just doesn't like to eat them on a plate very often, but atleast with the bullet she's getting everything not the juice so it will be filling and keep her going until her morning break when she will be hungary

5:04 pm

lilliann

*hungry

5:06 pm

MollyL

That is what I like about the Nutribullet as opposed to the juicer. You get all the fiber with the bullet.

5:07 pm

MollyL

(We sound like an infomercial)

5:09 pm

jaxx7

I have crawled to 155 left. I am off to give my eyes a rest.

5:12 pm

MLFAN17

hello

5:16 pm

lilliann

Bye Jaxx, and Hi Mlf, a cuppa was needed.

5:16 pm

lilliann

We used get paid Molly for advertising

5:16 pm

MLFAN17

hello lillian i have coffee in the kitchen

5:18 pm

lilliann

I don't drink coffee, i can't stand it plus it makes me sleep and i can do that very well without it

5:19 pm

MLFAN17

i used to drink soda

5:21 pm

MollyL

I think good coffee is a blessing from Heaven.

5:21 pm

lilliann

Years ago, all i drank was coke, occasionally a cup of tea but now i can't stand sugary drinks and i drink more tea and herbal teas and now alot of smoothies/juices

5:21 pm

MLFAN17

molly agreed

5:21 pm

MLFAN17

lillian that is awesome

5:21 pm

lilliann

I love the smell of freshly ground coffee though

5:22 pm

MLFAN17

my husband and i do too

5:22 pm

JeeWhiz

What's a good mix for the nutribullet?

5:22 pm

Good Enough

i have never been a coffee drinker and i gave up pop in october. have to say i have increased my beer consumption since then....but not in the morning :)

5:24 pm

MLFAN17

i used to drink both coffee and coke in the same day..bad idea

5:24 pm

MollyL

Never underestimate the power of a beer in the morning, when necessary. : D

5:24 pm

MLFAN17

al8 clue please?

5:24 pm

lilliann

I've just been chucking anything in JW.i have been using spinach in all mine with blueberries,blackberries,strawberries and rasperries and that was nice, and some pumpkin seeds

5:25 pm

MollyL

I quit drinking soda years ago. I don't miss it at all.

5:25 pm

JeeWhiz

Thanks Lilliann...need to try it again.

5:25 pm

MLFAN17

i just kno th feeling i get the next day if i have both in one day

5:26 pm

MLFAN17

AL that is

5:26 pm

lilliann

I also like orange,grapefruit and pineapple,red pepper. i made one with about 12 things the other day..a mixture of veg and fruit which is normally nice in the juicer but it way too thick in the bullet so i now halve things as i don't like me drinks too thick

5:26 pm

MollyL

I used to drink a lot of coffee. I'm down to two cups a day, in the morning. I am not functional until I have finished my first cup of coffee.

5:27 pm

Good Enough

soda pop was my gateway drug. what's better with pop than potato chips, popcorn, any snack food on earth!?

5:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

what happens to the pulp?

5:27 pm

lilliann

Hi GE, i can only drink a shandy and that is when it's really hot...i prefer a glass of wine but i'm detoxing this week

5:28 pm

MLFAN17

how long did it take you to get yourself down to drinking only two cups a day?

5:28 pm

MollyL

Not long

5:28 pm

MLFAN17

that is great molly

5:29 pm

MollyL

I sometimes drink flavored herbal tea at night, but I find regular hot tea gross.

5:29 pm

lilliann

Hi To, all the pulp is mixed together.you have to de-pip and peel the skin first, obviously

5:29 pm

lilliann

I like flavoured green teas

5:29 pm

MLFAN17

molly i am like that with cold tea

5:30 pm

Good Enough

thank you molly! sometimes i feel like the only one!

5:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

so there are solids in the drinks? or are they strained out?

5:30 pm

JeeWhiz

I did not know that I should peel first. That might help.

5:30 pm

MollyL

No, hold it, wait. You do not have to peel anything before you blast it in a Nutribullet.

5:31 pm

lilliann

No solids, it's like a mini blender but better

5:31 pm

MollyL

The whole point of a Nutribullet is that it pulverizes anything you put in it.

5:31 pm

lilliann

You don't peel oranges or grapefruit Molly?

5:31 pm

MollyL

I don't put citrus in mine.

5:32 pm

lilliann

I didn't peel my apples when i had apple and ginger...that's nice...very refreshing

5:33 pm

MollyL

Citrus is not one of the recommended fruits for the Nutribullet.

5:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

y for the clarification.

5:35 pm

MLFAN17

AL 8 clue please?

5:35 pm

lilliann

Why Molly? They used them on the show i bought it from

5:37 pm

lilliann

they have oranges in the free recipe book i got."nutribullets natural healing foods"

5:39 pm

MLFAN17

lillian if it works i say use them if you want to lol

5:40 pm

MollyL

Not recommended means you can use them, but they are more work, as in you have to peel them.

5:41 pm

MollyL

You can put them in unpeeled, but your drink will be much more tart.

5:42 pm

MLFAN17

wouldnt it be harder to drink or swallow with peeling in any drink?

5:42 pm

lilliann

I must admit, i prefer using other fruits which i don't have to peel or de-stone.It would taste too pithy with the peel left on.I did that once with my juicer and i could tell the difference when i peeled them

5:43 pm

MollyL

No, not hard to swallow. The Nutribullet pulverizes anything you put in it.

5:43 pm

MLFAN17

this different then a smoothie maker?

5:44 pm

MLFAN17

is

5:44 pm

MollyL

It's much different than a smoothie maker. The motor has much more power.

5:45 pm

lilliann

you can make dips and grind down herbs and spices too for food flavouring...it doesn't just make drinks

5:46 pm

MLFAN17

do you use milk or yogurt or something else to mix with itif you wanted to?

5:47 pm

MLFAN17

i have heard about it on tv just didnt pay much attention as those commercials make i look so easy

5:47 pm

lilliann

You can but it's healthier just with water

5:47 pm

MLFAN17

thats for sure

5:48 pm

lilliann

you put fruit and veg in and then add a certain amount of water and if it's too thick after, you can just add more water

5:50 pm

MLFAN17

i need a clue for the ai 6 before the ai 7 please?

5:50 pm

lilliann

ai7, post sent by plane

5:50 pm

MollyL

I use orange juice instead of water.

5:50 pm

lilliann

sorry, didn't read it properly

5:50 pm

jaxx7

starting to be ill

5:51 pm

MLFAN17

that is a lot of citric acid isnt it?

5:51 pm

lilliann

MLFAN17

i have 4 5 4 6 6 4 4 7 64

5:54 pm

MLFAN17

6 4 sorry

5:54 pm

MollyL

And no, it's not a lot of citric acid. You would have to understand what fruits and vegetables I'm blending it with.

5:54 pm

lilliann

I didn't think concentrate was too healthy either, well so i've heard on programmes

5:55 pm

lilliann

I've just clued the 5 and 6 you need before the ai7 Mlf

5:55 pm

MLFAN17

wrong a but i didnt have those either thanks lillian

5:56 pm

MLFAN17

i am working on ai in the corner .. at least trying to

5:56 pm

MollyL

L, we use the juicer for most of our juice. But I do keep juice from concentrate on hand because there isn't always time to use the juicer. Also, oranges cost a small fortune. So we only make fresh orange juice on the weekends.

5:57 pm

jaxx7

Helper ai**. One who helps ai***

5:58 pm

lilliann

Yes oranges are too cheap here either.saying that i think appleas are getting expensive

5:58 pm

MLFAN17

i have it

5:59 pm

MLFAN17

jaxx i will figure it out eventually

5:59 pm

jaxx7

Both, one or already?

5:59 pm

lilliann

*aren't

5:59 pm

MollyL

Fruit in general is expensive. Someone here said they spend 50 dollars a week on groceries. I come close to that just on fruit and vegetables.

5:59 pm

MLFAN17

greyedit woot!

5:59 pm

MLFAN17

it was an AS word

6:02 pm

lilliann

Fruit and veg is getting expensive here which is why i like to grow my own salads and some veg in the SummerI always think home grown tastes the best as it's not forced like alot of veg we buy.Plus i'm sick of eating the same veg all year round.Sprouts and parsnips are nice in the winter because of the frost but woody and tasteless in teh summer

6:03 pm

MLFAN17

is their a si word in the list that means the same as?

6:03 pm

lilliann

yes mlf

6:03 pm

MLFAN17

never mind

6:03 pm

MollyL

I don't have the space to grow fruit, but I do grow vegetables in the warmer weather.

I grow apples and blueberries in tubs and strawberries in hanging baskets and straberry pots.i do have raspberry,blackcurrant and redcurrant bushes but the birds normally get them as i can't get to them anymore sadly and the bairn is always to late to pick them.when the back garden finally gets down i will grow them in tubs too

MollyL

I buy a lot of my produce from an Amish market which is about as fresh as I can get.

6:08 pm

gramma

lilliann, how do you grow apples in tubs?

6:08 pm

lilliann

Fresher than supermarkets probably Molly

6:09 pm

MollyL

I don't think you can grow anything but dwarf apples in tubs, Gramma.

6:09 pm

phandmd

Sorry that I popped in earlier, intending to chat, but I don't know what happened, I guess my ADD kicked in...

6:10 pm

lilliann

They are miniature trees Gramma, which can grow in big tubs.i did have a cherry and pear but i think i've lost those.My husband moved my pots and i can't see them

6:10 pm

MollyL

No need to apologize Phan.

6:10 pm

phandmd

OK, then I take it back. lol

6:10 pm

MLFAN17

IN 7 clue please?

6:11 pm

lilliann

They are normal sized apples, but the trees just grow to about 5-6 ft

6:11 pm

gramma

That's a big tub

6:12 pm

lilliann

They are sweet, i can't remember the names of them.we can get them from garden centres here.They are quite big, i need wheels on the bottom of them to move them

6:12 pm

MollyL

You're all good Phan. I just think people get way too polite around here and it's not necessary. We all have lives beyond this game.

6:12 pm

phandmd

:^)

6:13 pm

MLFAN17

any help would be greatly appreciated:)

6:13 pm

gramma

I ask because my husband has a grafting problem. I don't know what he'll do when and if we sell the farm.

6:14 pm

gramma

We have 4 old trees and he's grafted at least 20 varieties on them

6:15 pm

penquis

can someone give me STATS for the fourth column R please? The one that has only one word...

6:15 pm

6:15 pm

MollyL

I think it is ra6/24 Pen

6:15 pm

penquis

ty

6:16 pm

lilliann

20 varieties is alot Gramma.these are especially designed, for want of a better word to be dwarf trees.i don't know how

6:17 pm

lilliann

Your husband might know Gramma.i think it's to do with the way they are cut at the root or something

6:17 pm

gramma

I'm afraid to ask him. He may start a new hobby

6:18 pm

lilliann

Atleast he will be still able to have some fruit trees in pots and you can the wheels so it will be easy for him to move them around.

6:18 pm

gramma

God forbid

6:18 pm

lilliann

LOL

6:19 pm

MollyL

I think Gramma is looking forward to a "non-farming" life
: D

6:20 pm

gramma

Just the other day he bought grafting wax and some other thing vital to his issues and spent $60.

6:21 pm

MollyL

"Some other thing vital to his issues"...oh, that is a keeper.

6:21 pm

lilliann

Oh dear!

6:21 pm

gramma

He has more invested in these apples than they would ever cost at the fanciest of markets

6:22 pm

MollyL

That is a real problem. Unless you garden or farm wisely, you can spend TONS more on what you grow than you would buying it.

6:22 pm

gramma

And then we have to mail them to friends and family. I'm sure they just make sauce.

6:23 pm

lilliann

Does he not sell any then Gramma, seeing as he has all theses varieties?

6:24 pm

lilliann

Do you not have a local market or grocery shop that might sell them for him?

6:25 pm

gramma

I do understand with the pear grafts because then they come in at different times and it's a bit easier to keep up. We inevitably end up giving them away.

6:25 pm

MollyL

Long story short L, it doesn't work that way here in the US.

6:25 pm

RoundBarn

gramma I'm near you in Hinesburg in the summer and have friends in Middlebury. If you want to contact me its jjack1@uis.edu. I love grafted apples.

gramma I have a camp on Lake Iroquois and will be there most of the summer. Look at my website (daughter runs it) called roundbarnstories.com. I'm writing a farm saga, just finished vol 5, Nef helped with a booth for me in Mlps, I met her there. We are all farm associated.

6:34 pm

RoundBarn

Volume 3 I mean. One more to go, have to have it done by set 1 if its to make it into world dairy expo in Madison wis--that's the aim.

6:35 pm

RoundBarn

I notice people gramma--you're on the list of ones I notoce. Smile.

6:36 pm

gramma

OMG my daughter is in Minneapolis. You would love her and she you. I've been out of the loop here for a bit but please let me know when you are about. I will make the time.

I have lots of r friends in Mlps gram, my daughter lived there, and I have first and second cousins there. I live in Illinois but go to Mlps often--that's where I met Nef and she took over a booth for me at an ag ed conference.

6:40 pm

MLFAN17

Ni 6 clue please?

6:41 pm

RoundBarn

Molly, you are too--very much noticed by me. Just don't know what to say to you. Mostly I lurk but had to come out of hiding for Gramma. I notice ruru and I miss the ones who disappear, and I'd love to meet soodle--I recently published a few poems about babble.

my daughter in Nevada is Rastapopolus (tintin) she mostly lurks but pops out to clue a hard word--she is much better at babble than I am. They just had baby goats--three of them yesterday.

6:44 pm

MollyL

Cos brought up the fact that ni6 sounds like a 60's TV show girl and I have had that theme song in my head all day.

6:45 pm

lilliann

I like goats.I might take the bairn to the farm we like to go to on Thursday and see the lambs i've been watching born on their lamb cam.they have goats we can feed aswell as lots of other animals.I always find it very therapeutic when i go there

6:47 pm

jaxx7

I have got to 200. It is nearly 1am here and my bed is calling. Night all

6:47 pm

RoundBarn

I had goats growing up, Lilli. My volume 3 has 3 goat stories in it. And a Roman Catholic cow.

6:47 pm

MollyL

Holy cow

6:48 pm

RoundBarn

And now I have to go sow grass seed before it is dark. It's v cold out though. poink.

6:48 pm

6:49 pm

RoundBarn

Molly, thatts what they said in the newso paer. We took a cow to a bazaar in the rc basement, she was a big hjt except when they had a wedding upstairs and whenever the orgab played she bellowed. One of my better stories.

6:50 pm

lilliann

This time, i hope i don't get forgotten and keep the train waiting like last time i was on.it's not good when you can't put your head out the door and shout "oy, where's my ramp"

6:50 pm

MollyL

Um, L...can't your daughter help with that?

6:51 pm

lilliann

Lol RB, they sound good stories, how can we read them?

6:51 pm

lilliann

No, as i'm going to pick her up on my own

6:52 pm

MollyL

That's too bad. There should be employees on the trains to help people with special needs.

6:52 pm

lilliann

And she wasn't with me last time either, but waiting on the station and couldn't see me on the train.Luckily a guy wanted to get onto my carriage and he got the station master, apparently the lass who was supposed to help me went home early and didn't tell anyone that i was coming.i have to book ahead for station assistance.i don't see the point if no-one knows owt!!

6:53 pm

RoundBarn

Look at my website I'll sell them cheap. Get your library to get them--I'm not getting rich on books. Fortunately they got me a good job so I could raise my kids.

6:53 pm

lilliann

There is a conductor, but he could be anywhere on teh train

6:53 pm

MollyL

No, I don't mean the conductor. I mean like a porter or something.

6:54 pm

lilliann

What is your website RB

6:54 pm

lilliann

No, they are at the stations, and should be ready and waiting with the ramps and help me off

I wait for crossie in the morning for his tidbit of the day, before I get to work. I watch mfricket or what is her name in Boston--no, washington? she just got a degree-- and would like to contribute t her charity, to get rid of citizens united.

6:56 pm

MollyL

I guess I'm confused then L. If they have all the information, I don't get how you were left behind.

6:58 pm

RoundBarn

I find the chat fun because it's like a grand right and left, several conversations on different topics going on at once. I need to get daughter #4 that amazing blender you were all talking about earlier--a bullet something.

6:59 pm

lilliann

God knows, and i have to have all my assistance requirements and train details and seat number printed out from an email they send me when i've booked my ticket and then i have to book assistance seperately and i have to be there 20 minutes before the train is due and find someone at the station to tell them i'm there and then they want to see my paperwork, even though they have my name on a list, so i know they are expecting me!!

6:59 pm

RoundBarn

Almonds, maybe some crackers and cheese, and a nice red wine. I might forget the grid.

To change the topic.... Do any of you know that Soodle is in hospital right now and needs good wishes and prayers

9:06 pm

No, Bugs, what is the matter?

9:07 pm

Bugsaw

she told us she "has lost the will to live" and that is serious in my book. She needs lots of love and her email is posted in her icon

Thanks, Bugsaw... I didn't know and am sorry to hear that.

9:08 pm

wht

Thanks, Bugs.

9:09 pm

I just wanted to put it out there because I believe in the power of prayer. I hope it is not considered gossip.

9:09 pm

Jacula

I didn't know that Bug. How awful! Poor Soodle.

9:10 pm

Jacula

Prayer or good intentions and wishes when massed can work wonders, especially if the person knows that so many people are wishing them well.

9:10 pm

Jacula

Where can I find her profile? Can you link to it, Bug?

9:10 pm

dianedecoder

I agree, Jacula

9:10 pm

stidgmere

Thank you for the comment about Soodle, she is always such a boost when I see her on the grid. Time for us to give back in thoughts and prayers.

9:12 pm

Bugsaw

Yes Jacula. Since she came on just for a little bit and told us she was in hospital, I think she really does want comfort and to know she has friends. She is such a funny lady who is just having a hard time. Babble friends can be so supportive. I am glad you are all hearing the news with the intention with which I shared it.

9:13 pm

MimiCat

OMG!! Our poor Soodle! And is there ANYONE who doesn't ADORE her?!! She simply must get better because we need her!

9:14 pm

Bugsaw

her address is Medickinson@eircom.net

9:14 pm

MimiCat

What is she hospitalized for?

9:15 pm

MimiCat

Thanks, Bugs...I'm going to email her in just a minute.

9:16 pm

Bugsaw

she said she "has lost the will to live". She is in despair

9:17 pm

Bugsaw

so don't be suprised if she can't respond right away

9:17 pm

Jacula

Just found her profile by Googling. I will email her. What the hell happened??

9:19 pm

MimiCat

I just sent mine. I've been there, believe me, and had to tell her it's worth the struggle and that she must not give up because we all love and need her.

9:19 pm

Bugsaw

I don't know what precipitated it Jac but she came on for a short while last night and said she was in hospital and that 2 priests had been to see her. When pressured by caring friends on live she told us what she was dealing with. When I said I had been there too and that it would pass, she told me she didn't want it to pass. She needs our help.

9:20 pm

MimiCat

What is she in there for?

9:20 pm

Bugsaw

We do love and need her Mimi. So do her kids. Sometimes it is just hard to remember who loves you and how much.

9:21 pm

MimiCat

Whoa, Bugs....that's a very dark place to be...I have been there too and nearly took my life. Life is so good here on the other side of that and I appreciate absolutely everything and everyone now.

9:22 pm

Jacula

Oh heck, Bug. I will have to read back through the archived chog. I assume she'd, let's use a euphemism 'done something silly'? Yes, those of us who have been that far down the deep, dark pit should certainly contact her, as should those who haven't because but there but for the grace of God...

9:23 pm

Jacula

What time was she on the chog, Bug?

9:23 pm

MimiCat

So right, Jacula...and when it gets that bad even God is sometimes hard to find or recognize. Does anyone know exactly what happened and what precipitated it? The more we know, the better we will be at addressing the issue sensitively.

9:24 pm

stidgmere

Must go but will be giving Soodle my thoughts as you are all in my circle of friends.

9:25 pm

MimiCat

Take care, stid....we all need each other.

9:25 pm

Bugsaw

thank you all

9:25 pm

wht

Good night stidg

9:25 pm

Jacula

See you later, stidgmere. xx

9:30 pm

Jacula

Mimi - As you no doubt know, it's hard to see light let alone God or happiness or anything in the future when you're clawing your way up a deep, dark pit filled with slippery mud and every move you take seems to make you fall back further. In the end you feel like giving up. But... you must NOT give up. As you said, there is light at the top and life is so wonderful when you appreciate the small things and try not to get felled by the bigger things. Only someone who's been down there and climbed out knows that, and those of us who have must encourage Soodle with every ounce of our strength and persuasive powers so she, too, can emerge victorious.

9:31 pm

MimiCat

I'll be sending positive and supportive thoughts to her tonight and tomorrow and if we all do that, I believe those "vibes" will reach her. Thought and feeling has life of its own and I know that firsthand.

9:32 pm

Jacula

You're right, Mimi.

9:33 pm

MimiCat

I've so changed the way I deal with people and situations. I'm very nice but I refuse to let anyone take my peace away...it's mine and I've earned it.

9:35 pm

MimiCat

Just basically ended a 44-yr. friendship that was stressing me out too much and the way I knew I should do so was the calm and peace I felt when I made the decision.

9:38 pm

MimiCat

We may not be able to control the things that happen to us, but how we deal with them is in our control when we're in the right frame of mind and strong. When we're weakened, good friends make all the difference in helping us through it.

9:40 pm

MimiCat

If I had the money right now, I'd be tempted to fly over to be there for her. Alas, that is not the case atm.

9:41 pm

wht

Good thoughts, Mimi.

9:41 pm

MimiCat

Thanks, wht.

9:41 pm

wht

Fireworks for me now, and now to bed.

9:42 pm

rururocks

what's the latest soodle update?

9:42 pm

MimiCat

I've got to go and finish up some work. Will be sending support to Soodle before bed and as soon as I wake up in the morning. Take care, everyone, and hugs all around.

9:43 pm

MimiCat

Scary, ruru...read back a bit. I emailed her and others are doing so as well. Do you know what actually happened?

9:43 pm

rururocks

no.. but I can guess

9:44 pm

MimiCat

I'm totally shocked...did anyone know she was in trouble? She said she has lost the will to live....been there, done that...dark and terrible place to be.

9:45 pm

rururocks

hmmmm

9:46 pm

MimiCat

I talk to people all the time and assure them that they can come out on the other side and how glorious that is. It's kind of the "one day at a time" philosophy but it works...just hang on for a short time...and then another short time...

9:47 pm

MimiCat

Many of us are sending her positive "vibes" because we believe that does get through but, hey, even if we're wrong, couldn't hurt....

9:47 pm

rururocks

has she responded to anyone today?

9:48 pm

MimiCat

Not sure...Bugsaw had the most info. It's the middle of the night there now, though, so hopefully she's sedated. Did anyone know about this possibility?

9:48 pm

rururocks

not a clue here.. Soodle is a bit tightly wound though

9:49 pm

MimiCat

It's difficult sometimes to really know someone in this setting...but I do feel most of us show who we really are sooner or later...oh, oh....I'd best be careful!

9:50 pm

MimiCat

Actually, I'm like Popeye....I am what I am and that's all that I am...take it or leave it...stick a fork in me, I'm done.

9:50 pm

rururocks

oh crap.. I better not comment on that entry

9:51 pm

MimiCat

Aw, go ahead...I'm a big girl...I can take it! Be kind, please...

9:52 pm

rururocks

not pertaining to you.. but others

9:53 pm

Jacula

I've just scrolled back through 13th, 14th and 15th April and today's chog and can't find Soodle's entries. However, it is 3.53am he4 and I'm getting tired.

9:53 pm

MimiCat

I think when someone gets far enough down to consider ending their life, they don't really want to die, just to stop the pain. That's where good friends are crucial...they were for me, at least.

9:54 pm

rururocks

that's what professionals are for mimi.

9:54 pm

MimiCat

This is a very special community of people and we are invested in each other to a degree.

9:55 pm

MimiCat

That's what I do, ruru...still working on completing the Master's degree, but do paraprofessional counseling. It's very rewarding when I can help but very sad when I cannot...all one can do is try.

9:55 pm

Jacula

Professionals are (hopefully) trained to take someone apart and then put them back together again. It is all too easy to take someone apart, but not so easy to rebuild them, or rather to help them to rebuild.

9:56 pm

rururocks

not always.. sometimes they help one keep an even keel

9:56 pm

rururocks

any help on the al 8./45 I just don't see it

9:56 pm

MimiCat

So true, Jacula. That's why people give more credibility to those of us who have walked in their shoes...they can see we did come out on the other side.

9:57 pm

Jacula

Yes, ruru, an even keel is good but, often, the healing process means falling apart and then glueing things back together.

9:57 pm

MimiCat

Don't have that one, ruru...looking.

9:57 pm

Jacula

rur - al8/45 it's one of those men from Ma4 'ism' words.

9:58 pm

Jacula

Or rather little green man from the plant + the ism.

9:58 pm

Jacula

planEt! I meant. Told you I was tired. :(

9:59 pm

rururocks

thank you..

9:59 pm

rururocks

lost on that one

9:59 pm

MimiCat

Got the 7 but not the 8...I'm slow...

10:00 pm

Jacula

y/w ruru. We got there in the end (or at least I did re typing the clue).

10:00 pm

rururocks

I'm not doing the falling apart thing right now jac.. but rather the not blow up and go nuts thing

10:00 pm

rururocks

just get me out of these stupid a's..ugh

10:01 pm

MimiCat

Must go and finish my work. Hold a good thought for Soodle and maybe send her an em. Hugs.

10:02 pm

rururocks

bye mimi

10:02 pm

Jacula

ruru - trouble with not blowing up and going nuts is that the pressure does build up somewhere. Hopefully, the calming process won't lead to such a large explosion that the pieces left are so small, all can't be found for the glueing procedure. Then, the glue has to be a good one if the whole thing is to be stable.

10:02 pm

Jacula

ruru - what a's do you need still?

10:03 pm

rururocks

am 5/12 after the middle east ruler.. last am 5/12?

10:03 pm

rururocks

ah.. got it

10:03 pm

rururocks

now some ar's I guess

10:04 pm

Jacula

ar4 - operatic thing. ar5.10 plural of that. ar4.5 - very dry, ar6.21 - more dry.

10:04 pm

rururocks

ar6/18 would be great

10:05 pm

Jacula

ar6.18 - rude word for bottom with 'not out' word before the last letter.

10:06 pm

rururocks

thank you

10:06 pm

Jacula

y/w

10:06 pm

rururocks

is this a tougher grid or is it me?

10:07 pm

Jacula

It was quite tough, ruru.

10:09 pm

Jacula

Though I have to admit that ma6/27 was the only word I'd never heard of and only found by monkeying. Which reminds me, the definition wasn't definitive, so I must look it up elesewhere.

10:09 pm

rururocks

en 6/18 I don't see either

10:11 pm

Jacula

3n6/18 = en + anagram of a short word for island.

10:11 pm

dianedecoder

to make cattle feed ( in a big tank )

10:12 pm

Jacula

have looked up the ma6/27 and, apparently, it means 'in spite of' or 'to be spiteful to'.

10:13 pm

Jacula

diane - you'd think the word would end with an 'o' really, wouldn't you?

10:14 pm

rururocks

don't see it

10:14 pm

dianedecoder

I guess it's the act of doing so. :-)

10:15 pm

Jacula

ruru - en + if you act the fool you are being ***ly + a vowel.

10:15 pm

Jacula

I suppose so, diane.

10:15 pm

rururocks

thank you both

10:15 pm

Jacula

y/w ruru

10:16 pm

rururocks

10:19 pm

rururocks

10:20 pm

rururocks

10:21 pm

Jacula

in7/36 - not 'out thered'. lol

10:23 pm

rururocks

thank you .. duh oh

10:23 pm

Jacula

It follows in6/21 = not out there, but in ****.

10:24 pm

11:54 pm

amelu0218

Jeez-Louize! she's gonna fear you even more in the coming weeks!

11:54 pm

cosdem

Oh Im already meaner to her .. I cant help it. omg every word out of her is a lie.

11:55 pm

cosdem

and its all because of her mother who told her she didnt have to listen to dorm staff. its complicated since her mother is a staff member at the school and is good friends with my boss

11:55 pm

cosdem

so she gets away with everything. no time outs, no early beds, she has no bed time. .shes 7!

11:56 pm

cosdem

end rant :)

11:56 pm

amelu0218

*smh* I don't understand parenting these days... really? do they (parents) think that someone else is gonna take care of their kids after they're gone? Uh... NO! Stand/swim or drown in the real world...

11:57 pm

amelu0218

well, personal opine... her mother needed to have her behind taken care of behind the wood shed when she was young...

11:57 pm

amelu0218

I'm with ya on the rant... I have my own personal soapbox that I try not to stand on with certain topics...

11:57 pm

cosdem

I agree. Last week the mother approached me and poked me hard in the shouulder.

11:58 pm

cosdem

I told my supervisor I am about to file a grievance against the mother because she is an employee of the school as well and she did it on school time

11:58 pm

amelu0218

I'm sure you showed more restraint and didn't dot her eye, tho it was probably close...

11:58 pm

cosdem

sticky sticky sticky sticky situation.

11:58 pm

cosdem

oh I looked at her with disgust and said excuse me?

11:59 pm

cosdem

unfortuantely she is also a client of mine so I have to kiss her ass. soooo complicated. this needs to be resolved asap.

11:59 pm

amelu0218

ugh! some folks should be reduced to cinder with the "evil eye" they get from me, lol.
