1:40 am

worzel

well if I can cheer u up in any way just let me know. Wish I could fly over just to give you a big hug xx

1:41 am

worzel

there's lots of people on here that need a big old worzy hug - mind you, there's a few that need a good kick up the arse, too!

1:42 am

grannyrose

so do i, i could do with lots of hugging. my dear friend june's dad passed away last night. she is withdrawing. i have managed to persuade her to come over tomorrow, just to sit, if that is all she wants to do.

1:43 am

worzel

Mum you really are an angel in so many ways. I'm sure you will be an absolute rock for her, even if you don't talk to each other and just sit there quietly. Company is often all that is needed. We all love you Mum Rose, you do know that don't you? xx ALL OF US!!

1:43 am

grannyrose

can you not get another car that isnt a manual? Do you think you can handle that

4:27 am

puglet

the 1 hour work not the car--lol

4:27 am

grannyrose

huh, re worrying over you. you may as well tell me to stop breathing. you are my dear friend. of course i am going to be concerned.

4:27 am

puglet

and that is the very reason I dont like telling you things--lol

4:28 am

grannyrose

1 hopur should be okay. and i realised today, as my hours increase, i can divide them between desk duties, and full duties. with out effecting my workcover payments.

4:29 am

grannyrose

PUGS!! if you stop talking to me and sprite, we are gonna get pretty unhappy. what if we stop telling you stuff? huh? huh?

4:29 am

puglet

that might help you a bunch---now just getting you there without problems--Do you have taxi service there you might use for just a little while

4:31 am

grannyrose

it's the peak hour traffic which is hard. the stop/start stuff. lot's of work on the accelerator/brake.

4:31 am

puglet

I wont stop talking--lol but you guys have your own problems and its not right to me adding to them. And its only cause I care that I do that not any other reason

4:32 am

grannyrose

pugs, read it again. what if we stop talking to you?

4:33 am

grannyrose

friends do not count the minutes....we are th5 for each other, no matter what.

4:34 am

puglet

I would really be sadden then---and I cant see you doing that to me---lol----most of it is things only I can do or fix Rose---and I understand all you are saying----I really do

4:36 am

grannyrose

pugs, love, share and it is halved..the worry i mean. which is why i talk to you and sprite. it eases my heart.

4:39 am

puglet

Rose, some of the things I dont even understand all the well myself, if that makes sense--but someone sends me things that is helping, I just need to(I dont know how to word it) what I really n4 is a new brain--lol

4:40 am

puglet

and you and sprite and others do help, more th4 you know

4:41 am

puglet

You just study on mending you own self---and dont be worrying over me---I will talk when its important--and share and all that--okay

4:45 am

grannyrose

pugs, everything is important, hun. no matter how small. if you don't feel like sharing he4, email us....okay?

4:45 am

puglet

I will Rose, I promise

4:50 am

grannyrose

okay, rant over. how are you doing now, dear?

4:51 am

puglet

I got 175 to go

4:51 am

grannyrose

but you only just got he4, so that is good.

4:52 am

puglet

so far its not too bad

4:54 am

puglet

I got to take Barb and another sister to get their hair cut this afternoon, then we are going out for coffee

4:55 am

grannyrose

i hope that will be a good time for you all.

4:57 am

puglet

5:09 am

grannyrose

5:13 am

crosshair

5:14 am

grannyrose

8:13pm he4. nearly bed-time.

5:14 am

puglet

I just had reset time he4--that could be why

5:14 am

crosshair

interesting. my first word is at 7/32.. guess i am going to hell for it;))

5:15 am

*giggle* crossy. nah...underneath it all you are a saint...lol

5:15 am

crosshair

5:18 am

grannyrose

okay, dinner ready. yes, i know it's late. but with no kids or mothers to consider, we can eat when we like. xoxox

5:19 am

puglet

enjoy Rose and maybe later :)

5:39 am

crosshair

ok.. tea.. check, toast...check, babble...check. Now the day can begin;)

5:50 am

bichon

Another large grid!

5:53 am

bichon

Name that classical city in the grid

5:56 am

MollyL

Athens?

5:56 am

Scrabbler

Good day to all.

5:57 am

bichon

ding! Molly gets the donuts

5:57 am

bichon

Mornin' Scrabs

5:57 am

MollyL

Ah, thanks, and I will share

6:02 am

crosshair

and now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!

6:02 am

crosshair

An average of 76 people a year die playing twister, and about 23 of which are through playing the nude version!

6:03 am

Scrabbler

Heart attacks/ Sexually transmitted infections for the latter group? Haha.

6:03 am

bichon

I don't even want to know

6:03 am

crosshair

quite possible, scrabby

6:04 am

bichon

laughing so hard with asthma attacks

6:04 am

Scrabbler

Haha.

6:05 am

crosshair

it is ok, bichin. My lugs are rattling and wheezing and whistling as well

6:05 am

crosshair

lungs

6:05 am

crosshair

time to stop the game of twister:)

6:06 am

crosshair

what if we brush the playing surface with betadine first:) kills those pesky bugs

6:06 am

bichon

what if we grease it with crisco

6:06 am

bichon

that's kinky

6:07 am

crosshair

well, that is a different level althogether. Nude, oiled, twister

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Nope, skin contact is what spreads the germs.

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Bichon. That increases the level of exertion.

6:07 am

bichon

How about that bouce house which took flight with 3 kids in it. Scary or what

6:08 am

Scrabbler

A gust of wind?

6:08 am

crosshair

i heard that. thing flew 50 feet or so and the kids fell out at 15 feet in the air

6:09 am

bichon

The house was installed properly with stakes and a gust blew it up in the air. The kids fell out, two boys hurst seriously

6:09 am

crosshair

always use tie-downs for your bouncy house

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Kids get seriously hurt playing in bounce houses anyway. We see many concussions and broken bones. And trampolines are even worse.

6:10 am

bichon

I always see trampolines and think broken necks

6:10 am

crosshair

we never let our son use a trampoline. i can remember as a kid destroying myself on those tension springs around the edges

6:11 am

MollyL

I have never understood parents who are okay with trampolines. Bad enough your own kids can get injured, it's a law suit waiting to happen if you let other kids on it.

6:11 am

bichon

We can never keep our kids too safe

6:12 am

Scrabbler

One kid alone on a trampoline, with the net, is not so bad. But supervision is key.

6:12 am

crosshair

and in these days when everybody sues anyone for anything, you should not even let people on your property unless they sign a witnessed disclaimer

6:13 am

bichon

amen crossy

6:13 am

bichon

I'm afraid of kids petting my dog.

6:13 am

bichon

*dogs

6:13 am

Scrabbler

True.

6:14 am

bichon

Although mine are gentle you never know what can happen with an animal

6:15 am

crosshair

especially with kids and fast erratic movements that can startle a pet

6:16 am

bichon

my g'daughter was visiting at a home which has a very gentle lab. She had her mouth near his face and he bit her on the lip. Why my daughter didn't sue I don't know because there is a scar

6:17 am

Scrabbler

We see kids get horrible dog bites on their face, from gentle dogs that were unprovoked.

6:18 am

crosshair

that is why i always taught my son to ask permission from the owner of the pet first, before any interaction took place

6:18 am

bichon

To this day my daughter keeps telling Savannah not to get her face close to my dogs. Of course she never listens

6:20 am

Scrabbler

At 155/128 I must get ready for work. It is beautiful outside and I would much rather be working in my yard all day.

6:20 am

crosshair

tc scrabby

6:20 am

bichon

Not so beautiful here. But have a good day

6:20 am

crosshair

we are due for rain every day till monday;(

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Enjoy the day everyone.

6:21 am

crosshair

but all this rain is doing wonders for the grass and the new buds on the trees

6:21 am

bichon

We do not need more rain

6:21 am

bichon

We have a very sodden yard

6:21 am

crosshair

we are still trying to wash away winter dirt, and there is still snow in the hills

6:24 am

MollyL

It's great for planting though, Bich

6:24 am

bichon

Yes, but I like to walk around in my yard and not squish

6:25 am

MollyL

There is something to be said for not squishing
: D

6:26 am

bichon

Mr/ Bich is cursing the grass growing so much

6:34 am

crosshair

for now, we are greatfull for anything that is green and growing

6:35 am

rubyfoo

hello again. The installer came for my new TV (tiny, just for watching Tour de France) this AAM, but refused to take away the old one. I am in a snit

6:35 am

crosshair

nice change after 7 months of snow covered barren wasteland

6:36 am

crosshair

((ruby))

6:36 am

rubyfoo

crossy lives on the tundra!

6:36 am

rubyfoo

6:36 am

rubyfoo

that is a bad "bite story", bichon

6:36 am

bichon

That's what it's like now. Dumping fees have risen so much

6:37 am

bichon

The owners are close friend of my daughter's in-laws so it was touchy

6:37 am

rubyfoo

but the fast-talking salesman said it would be picked up.

6:37 am

crosshair

we are fortunate here. free electronic disposal has caught on and there are dump bins in many area. they recycle the plastic and precious metals off the inner curcuit boards

6:37 am

bichon

liar, pants on fire.

6:38 am

rubyfoo

It is very hard fighting stuff like that in French. I have to resort to "Let me speak to the manager" and "We are old!"

6:38 am

rubyfoo

I'm frazzled

6:38 am

bichon

Is not your French pretty good now ruby, after all these years

6:39 am

rubyfoo

yes, it's good, but arguing on the telephone is still difficult. My gesticulations don't count.

6:39 am

crosshair

knowing some of the locals, if you are not perfect in pitch, tone and regional accent, they will act like they do not know what you are saying

6:40 am

bichon

My still New York city accent doesn't help me here

6:40 am

crosshair

this is why, when we drive to the east coast we go through qubec in on go, no stops

6:41 am

bichon

Do you speak French crossy?

6:41 am

rubyfoo

years ago, when living in NY state, I vvisited Quebec and although they could understand my Fr, I couldn't understand their responses AT ALL

6:41 am

crosshair

just enough to get my face slapped by ladies in a bar

6:42 am

bichon

LOL crossy

6:42 am

bichon

Is Quebecois that different

6:42 am

crosshair

i can ask for a big mac and say smirnoff in 15 languages.. is all i need

6:43 am

MollyL

According to my Cajun friend, French in France, Canadian French and Cajun French barely translate to each other. It's almost like three different languages.

6:43 am

bichon

I need breakfast. Mr. Bich is eating donuts and I'm having oatmeal. Fie on him

6:43 am

crosshair

of course this does not apply to old quebec city. they live and die on the tourist dollar and at least try

6:43 am

rubyfoo

I'd rather have donuts!

6:44 am

bichon

Cajun French I can understand being so different

6:44 am

bichon

BBS, oatmeal beckons

6:45 am

rubyfoo

I think when they're kindly disposed, the French here try hard to understand and don't seem to have trouble. But when they don't want to understand (like the store manager), they don't

6:45 am

crosshair

your friend is correct. the french i hear and the french that ruby hears are more like long lost cousins

6:45 am

rubyfoo

Ruby: A tiny woman who packs a big punch

9:37 am

rubyfoo

Teach: there was a big article about the coal mining industry in West Virginia in a recent New Yorker. Did you see it? It was fascinating, focusing on pollution and other problems

9:37 am

Aloyisius

pretty flowers, hego.. and hi all, am back to Babble with a bowl of Quinoa for breakfast

9:38 am

rubyfoo

hello Alooy, I love quinoa!

9:38 am

hego

Hi Aloy!

9:38 am

Aloyisius

am new to it, ruby.. liking it a lot

9:39 am

rubyfoo

I guess I made my point, both with th technician and with the department manager at the store, even in French

9:39 am

wvteach

don't know that article - but that has been a sensitive issue in WV during the election primary - EPA cutting back on emmissions is hurting the coal industry of WV

9:39 am

MollyL

Quinoa is the latest "trendy" for the food people

9:39 am

rubyfoo

I think it's supposed to be very good for you, better than the more starchy accompaniments to meat

9:40 am

rubyfoo

The article started y talking bout the chemical spill in Charleston

9:40 am

rubyfoo

I'm not very trendy, food-wise, but learned about it in a Peruvian resto

9:42 am

MollyL

Quinoa has been around for a long time. It's gotten rabidly popular lately because it's gluten free.

9:43 am

Aloyisius

am munching on red quinoa.. a left over salad fixed with black beans, corn, peppers, cilantro and a dressing of lime juice, cumin.. got the recipe off the package

9:43 am

Aloyisius

really tasty!

9:43 am

rubyfoo

That's funny, Molly, as I think it's an ancient Inca staple

9:43 am

hego

sounds yummy

9:44 am

MollyL

Kale and edamame have also been around a long time, but the food people act like it was just invented.

9:44 am

rubyfoo

It sounds a lot like tabouleh. You could probably substitute quinoa in a tabouleh recipe. I'm going to try it

9:44 am

hego

need a break....bbl

9:44 am

Aloyisius

sat in my pantry for ages bc I wasn't sure how to fix it.. reading the package was all I had to do, lol

9:45 am

rubyfoo

Do you like kale? I can't bring myself to taste it, even though it's supposed to be so healthful. I used to eat edamame in sushi bars =, usually as a free side dish

9:45 am

wvteach

ruby - found the article on line and it is all about the chemical spill and not the air pollution

9:46 am

Aloyisius

LOVE kale

9:46 am

MollyL

I agree Ruby, that recipe does sound like tabouleh.

9:46 am

rubyfoo

right, the chemical spill and the lack of regulation of the coal industry. Fascinating and I thought of you and my other "friend" in Morgantown

9:46 am

rubyfoo

How do you fix it, Aloy, with fat back? lol

9:47 am

MollyL

The only way I will have kale is blended into a Nutribullet drink. If I'm going to eat greens, I stick to spinach.

9:48 am

rubyfoo

Agreed, Molly, simply suateeing spinach with a little garlic and olive oil is simple and probably as good for you if not a "wonder food"

9:48 am

Aloyisius

same way you fix other greens.. hubby fixes them, onions, vinegar (little bit), butter, little bit of sugar, salt, pepper..

9:48 am

Aloyisius

Cooks.com has some great recipes for kale

9:48 am

rubyfoo

I used balsamic vinegar so don't need much sugar in my spinach. Very Pennsylvania Dutch....

9:49 am

Aloyisius

great choice

9:49 am

rubyfoo

One of our friends who visited early o planted Kale in my potager, but it never came up

9:49 am

Aloyisius

fool around a bit and you will hit on a recipe that you really like

9:49 am

MollyL

Super food Ruby, get the trendy lingo right.
: P

9:50 am

rubyfoo

I've always thought the Amish were "closet trendy"

9:51 am

MollyL

The Amish just eat right, and eat fresh. They eat what they grow, what a concept.

9:51 am

Aloyisius

ooh.. brb, darkening clouds and I have clothes on the line that already had one rain rinse yesterday!

9:52 am

rubyfoo

I would love to eat that way, but growing vegetables is a lot of work. Fortunately, it is possible to get fresh sort-of local veggies

9:52 am

wvteach

been raining all morning

9:53 am

MollyL

Growing enough vegetables to live on all year long takes a lot of real estate. (And a lot of freezing and canning) Then, unless you are a vegetarian, you have to farm the animals that will provide your meat.

9:54 am

rubyfoo

sounds like a good project for my next life. But I don't think I could raise animals to eat, would probably become a vegetarian

9:55 am

rubyfoo

I make my own jams and jellies because I am distrustful of what goes into the commercial products (insects, rotten fruit, etc.

9:55 am

rubyfoo

But husband eats the commercial stuff which is fine with me

MollyL

If I had to grow and scavange my own food I would probably have live somewhere I could fish and shrimp. I could give up meat.

9:56 am

rubyfoo

I used to love eating the fish I caught when I lived in Miami but if you had to rely on the local lake and stream fish, you'd get kwashior

9:57 am

MollyL

Making your own jam is fairly easy. I do that too.

9:57 am

rubyfoo

I used to hunt and eat wild mushrooms until Imade a mistake and would up in hospital. Never again!

9:57 am

rubyfoo

What kinds do you make?

9:57 am

MollyL

Strawberry and blackberry

9:58 am

MollyL

I make my own bread too. It's easy with the bread maker and much cheaper than buying it. It also tastes better.

9:58 am

rubyfoo

When we have enough blackberries, I make some jelly for me, but mostly they go into husband's mxed fruit salads

9:59 am

rubyfoo

I used to bake bread which is why I had granite counters put into this kitchen, but don't do it anymore as husband doesn't eat it and I would just get fat

9:59 am

MollyL

I would make raspberry jam, but raspberries are usually way too expensive.

9:59 am

Aloyisius

cloud burst beat me, but the clothes only need "damp dry"..

10:00 am

rubyfoo

I have a lot of raspberry plants but, so far, very few raspberries

10:00 am

MollyL

You are lucky Aloy, I would love to have the room to hang dry my laundry outside. Especially the sheets.

10:00 am

rubyfoo

Not enough strawberries to put up although sometimes, when they are plentiful in the market, I make some jam but usually give it away

10:01 am

MollyL

Ruby you are always giving things away. Your neighbors must love you.

10:01 am

Aloyisius

well, I am violating deed restrictions, but I don't care.. stoopid not to use this sunshine, and no neighbors can see my clothesline strung between two palm trees

10:02 am

rubyfoo

We have tons of red currants which I make into jelly but it's a lot of work. We also have cassis, but I don'tlike the smell and leave them for the birds

10:02 am

Aloyisius

right by the clothesline is a huge sea grape plant, and this year it is full of fruit.. have heard of sea grape jelly, but have not made it

10:02 am

MollyL

Yes, alas, most homeowners associations prohibit clothes lines.

10:02 am

rubyfoo

Giving homemade things away (or homegrown) makes my heart happy

10:03 am

rubyfoo

<-- never tasted a sea grape

10:03 am

Aloyisius

the best gifts, ruby.. hubby made strawberry guava jelly from our fruit and that is what we did.. unique

10:04 am

rubyfoo

you have guavas????? Do you eat them with cream cheese, one of my favorite cuba and peuro rican combinations

10:05 am

rubyfoo

please forgive y terrible typing but it's freezing here and my fingers are stiffer than usual

10:06 am

rubyfoo

I tried making strawberry-rhubarb but it was a gloppy, sloppy, glutinous mess

10:07 am

Aloyisius

our guavas are different.. all along the dock walk, trees grow with red fruit about the size of a cherry tomato.. little larger.. we didn't know what they were but saw that the turtles loved them, so we took them to the county extension office.. the lady on duty grabbed one, popped it in her mouth and declared, "delicious"! Then she told us what they were and we did the research on them.. an invasive species, imported as an ornamental, but the fruit messed up sidewalks

10:07 am

rubyfoo

I've never seen one growing but that is very interesting

10:08 am

Aloyisius

must remember to try some with cream cheese, ty for the info

10:08 am

rubyfoo

Do they have to be cooked first?

10:08 am

Aloyisius

no.. you can eat them right off the tree

10:09 am

rubyfoo

and I lived in Florida all those years......

10:09 am

Aloyisius

they are not sweet, have a different flavor

10:10 am

rubyfoo

maybe they need a syrup to go with the cheese

10:10 am

rubyfoo

time to coo yucky dinner

10:10 am

rubyfoo

see you later, kids

10:10 am

rubyfoo

cook*

10:11 am

Aloyisius

bye chef Ruby

10:11 am

rubyfoo

I've handed in my toque, don't deserve it any more

10:12 am

Aloyisius

baloney.. don't believe it

10:14 am

MollyL

Ruby, just because you are not appreciated doesn't mean you are not a good cook.

10:27 am

Aloyisius

Kamanjah

11:27 am

MollyL

*Sends a little blanket of protection to Ruby

11:27 am

MLFAN17

ruby would you like some rain with that? I hope your power stays on

11:27 am

jaxx7

jaxx adds a prayer of comfort

11:28 am

MLFAN17

ruby think positive thoughts

11:28 am

rubyfoo

It's funny that you say that as I've just (clumsily) tied a blanket onto the glass table top o the deck

11:28 am

rubyfoo

It has a stained glass hanging lamp above it and I'm dreading the sound of glass breaking!

11:28 am

MLFAN17

bring it inside if you can

11:29 am

rubyfoo

It's strange because it's sunny and cold and if it wasn't so green and flowery, it would feel like early March

11:29 am

rubyfoo

can't do anything about either the table or the lamp except pray

11:29 am

jaxx7

Move the table away from under the lamp

11:29 am

MLFAN17

moly si 7 and 8 do you have them?

11:30 am

rubyfoo

The glass is 1" thick and probably weighs more than I do and husband is useless

11:30 am

MLFAN17

you dont want to lose that blanket

11:30 am

cybernan

melonheadjujube

sheesh is a word!

11:55 am

jaxx7

I will have to make do with just the shortcake and champagne then. :(

11:56 am

MollyL

It's better that way. A man would just hog all the shortcake, swill all the champagne, belch, fart and then take a nap.

11:56 am

jaxx7

Oh, you m

I'm sick of clutter. I think I will heave about two thirds of my wardrobe. At least my living room is always tidy. That said, one uniused BR is turning into a giant walk-incloset of no-longer-needed stuff. My daughter cleans hoses for a living, but there's something about picking up after one's own relatives. . .

1:56 pm

MollyL

There are a lot of theories about why people watch reality shows. The top two are: because they identify with the subject and because they want to feel superior to other people.

1:58 pm

amelu0218

Which is why I, personally, have no desire/need to watch them, Molly. ~:o)

9:07 pm

mkg

ty got the he also. now have 4 of the 6 there are.

9:07 pm

uusue2

yes it is, pen, the se8 is a slightly odd plural

9:07 pm

mkg

pen, the mister clue: what is it for? what word? se 8? or what?

9:08 pm

penquis

probably the portuguese plural...

9:08 pm

penquis

se 8....

9:08 pm

uusue2

yes, the portuguese guy is the se8 (also se6 and se7)

9:09 pm

mkg

ok so i dont know portuguese. is it like spanish? dont see nor in there

9:10 pm

uusue2

si8/50 builds on the si4/5 Star Wars guys (revenge of the si**, I think), adds a noun ending, such as "This is a complete sent****".

9:10 pm

uusue2

it is like Spanish, mkg, adds an extra letter between the n and the o

9:10 pm

penquis

ty...

9:11 pm

penquis

mkg...it is similar to the spanish....add a consonant in the middle...

9:11 pm

mkg

not getting it at all sue or pen. sorry. cons in middle? but the spanish is 5 letters. how do you get to 8?

9:12 pm

penquis

get the five, the six, and then the eight....

9:12 pm

uusue2

singular is 6 letters, mkg (that's where the extra consonant comes in), then there are two plurals, one is the usual plural and one adds another extra letter

9:16 pm

mkg

hmmm lets see what i can do. i dont see n and o next to each other.

9:17 pm

grannyrose

ladies, may i help?

9:17 pm
