1:04 am
Lizlin
Domestic stuff :( Dull day today but still mid 20s
1:05 am
Lizlin
Hope Lickety remembers that US clocks change overnight
1:08 am
rururocks
I am looking forward to the extra hour od sleep
1:09 am
Lizlin
I used to enjoy that in England. Queensland doesn't change its clocks.
1:10 am
rururocks
.how can you do domestic stuff if you live in Queensland?
1:11 am
dizgrannie
oh noooo that means the flip will be at 5pm NSW time....grrrrrr
1:11 am
rururocks
Aren't you all royalty in queensland?
1:12 am
Lizlin
Ah! Yes, the blue blood.
1:13 am
rururocks
Of course queensland in sf means something entirely different :D
1:13 am
Lizlin
Definitely does ;)
1:19 am
grannyrose
will email lickety and remind him to change the time.
1:26 am

1:29 am
grannyrose
ag8, ag + to take a break, sit down + most of frozen water
1:29 am
Lizlin
Thanks - really clear clue - would't have guessed that one!
1:31 am
Lizlin
You'd think I'd remember am 4/5 - the name of a really difficult kid I taught!
1:38 am
grannyrose
okay, it may take a while, but i have sent the photos. * grin *
1:39 am
Lizlin
Got them! Wow! Of course - roses first - beautiful. Do they smell as good as they look?
1:39 am
Lizlin
Love the reconstruction work - what a difference that'll make. Can't wait to see the finished kitchen.
1:40 am
Lizlin
Clever idea elevating the washing machine - I'm sure that must help you.
1:40 am
grannyrose
the cecil brunner against the wall of house is to die for. the window to the right as you look at the pic, is our bedroom
1:40 am
grannyrose
and the huge yellow roses on long sprays also scented.
1:41 am
Lizlin
Look forward to the day when I see it all for real :)
1:41 am
grannyrose
same here liz.
1:43 am
Lizlin

1:45 am
grannyrose
there are some strange words in this grid
1:45 am
Lizlin
used the dictionary for 2 of the ks
1:46 am
Lizlin
A few were inspired guess work and a couple of babblers I remembered.
1:50 am
Lizlin
Those 2 x ci 6 were well hidden!
1:51 am
grannyrose
the words are very twisty today.
1:52 am

4:40 am
grannyrose
pugs, only half the roses are in flower. i will send pics when the others flower. oh, and i found a pair of really long bbq tongs...i can get most of the weeds out with them. my aim is to try and do 15 minutes every day that i can.
4:40 am
rubyfoo
quick 72 and off to lunch with Mr. Charm
4:42 am
puglet
wow Rose! You really got a blooming year on the roses----I loved the red tinted yellow ones---so glad you found a way to do something to make things easier on you
4:43 am
grannyrose
bye ruby. enjoy lunch dear.
4:43 am
puglet
I see I missed Sprite and seen she was having trouble here :( Makes for a bad start to her day----She's having a not-so-good time right now, my heart goes out to her
4:44 am
grannyrose
pugs those roses have a lovely light scent
4:44 am
puglet
what are the flowers in the hanging basket? Are they some sort of roses too?
4:45 am
grannyrose
and the bush covered in tiny pale pink roses is the cecil brunner. the windows to the right are our bedroom. on a warm day i open the windows and the scent drifts in.
4:46 am
grannyrose
yes pugs. i have four baskets. one under each window.
4:46 am
grannyrose
the little red ones are single, miniatures.
4:46 am
puglet
how heavenly! Its so full of flowers that it dont seem the branches could hold them-lol----I bet the air there right now smells so wonderful
4:47 am
grannyrose
it does, pugs.
4:48 am
puglet
how could a person be down and blue with all that beauty and aroma? LOL
4:49 am
grannyrose

4:50 am
puglet

4:52 am
puglet

4:52 am
grannyrose
pugs, sprite appears to be sleeping better, with fewer bad dreams. she even slept in today.
4:52 am
grannyrose
*giggle* yup.
4:53 am
puglet
thats a big plus! I'm so glad for her--------I could help but to share it-lol
4:53 am
grannyrose
i don't think ruby has checked her emails yet. i did send the pics to her too.
4:54 am
puglet
good--I forget to do that sometimes, thanks
4:55 am
grannyrose
so...daylight saving starts over there overnight, yes?
4:55 am
puglet
I will have to look at my pug and see if that is on her--lol
4:55 am
puglet

4:56 am
puglet
I'm washing walls today---such great fun--lol
4:57 am
grannyrose
okay, i did email lickety so he could update the time for the clue list
4:58 am
puglet
are you, yourself doing okay Rose?
4:58 am
grannyrose
yes darling. i doubled my magnesium dose during the day. it has been good.
4:59 am
puglet
is your new doctor working out
5:00 am
grannyrose
you didn't he4? he went to south america for a holiday, had a heart attack and died.
5:04 am
MimiCat
((rose)) Isn't magnesium just wonderful? I use it daily and extra for leg cramps and muscle aches.
5:04 am
MimiCat
And everyone should be taking vitamin D3...they've found a connection between deficiency of that and the development of dementia.
5:05 am
MimiCat
Of course, my son says I don't have to worry about developing Alzheimer's because they won't be able to tell the difference!
5:10 am
mattygroves
My phantom - heretic
5:10 am
puglet
sorry Rose, I got kicked off---and HI Mimi, nice to see you
5:10 am
MimiCat
Good one, matty!
5:10 am
MimiCat
Good to see you, too, pug!
5:11 am
grannyrose
g'day mimi and matty
5:11 am
puglet
yes, Rose you and Sprite told me about your doctor but I thought Sprite said you found a new one---did I misunderstand that
5:11 am
puglet
Hi Matty, nice to meet you
5:12 am
mattygroves
Howdy Pug! And Rose, and Mimi
5:12 am
grannyrose
pugs, i am waiting to find out if the associates are going to take on the clinic.
5:12 am
grannyrose
if they don't i do have another doctor i can go to.
5:12 am
puglet
I hope all works out for you on that Rose
5:13 am
grannyrose
thanx pugs
5:14 am
grannyrose
mimi, which magnesium do you use?
5:14 am
puglet
I know, Rose, it was hard for you to give up working but maybe it was a good thing for you after all. You know you would of pushed yourself beyond the limits and now you can enjoy life with Don and so on
5:15 am
grannyrose
i know pugs. i just have to get my he4 around it...lol
5:16 am
puglet
soon you will have a new kitchen and think of all the cooking and baking you will be able to do---and you got many addresses to send cookies and such--LOL
5:16 am
MimiCat
I'd have to look, rose, and cannot do so right now without waking my new stray cat. There are so many natural alternatives and I've started researching those that are relevant to me.
5:17 am
MimiCat
The best supplement I've found so far and one that everyone needs as well is CoQ10...amazing and great for the heart as well as every other organ in the body. We basically stop producing enough of it as we age (so what else is new).
5:18 am
grannyrose
np's mimi. it's just that i found magnesium malate. it is only available from USA. it has changed my life.
5:18 am
puglet
How are things with you Mimi? Ive pretty well have lost bases with everyone
5:19 am
MimiCat
Rose, you will love not working. I work part-time at home and love having more free time to pursue all my interests....and, hopefully, finish writing my book.
5:19 am
grannyrose
mimi, tried it, didn't notice any difference. maybe i need to be older??
5:19 am
MimiCat
Things are good, pug, thanks. Still writing and my daughter got married a week ago.
5:20 am
grannyrose
or maybe i am still producing it...lol. that would be right. my body does every thing backwards.
5:20 am
puglet
how nice, Mimi---was it a beautiful wedding?
5:20 am
MimiCat
I'm 63, rose, and I noticed a difference in my energy level after one week. But even if you can't "feel" the difference, you should be taking it.
5:21 am
grannyrose
ahhh, okay. will get some more then
5:21 am
MimiCat
Actually, they got married at a justice of the peace rather quickly because they couldn't qualify for his VA loan together unless they were married. They're planning to have a wedding soon and he's shopping for an engagement ring now. They're only telling a few people they're already married. They close on the house just before Thanksgiving and it is a real beauty.
5:22 am
MimiCat
Rose, try to get the kind that has black pepper extract with it as it increases absorption by 30%.
5:22 am
grannyrose
thanx mimi
5:23 am
grannyrose
are you sure it isn't the pepper putting the pep back into your life?
5:23 am
puglet
will they be living close to you, Mimi and I wish them all the best
5:23 am
MimiCat
Be sure to take the D3...really important.
5:24 am
grannyrose
will need to check which vit D i am taking. it is in combo with calcium.
5:24 am
MimiCat
Yes, they're a 10-minute drive away. I was so honored that I was the very first person to know they were married. My daughter and I were estranged for awhile but now are back on track and I couldn't be happier.
5:25 am
MimiCat
Yes, that's the one to take, rose...you're exactly on the right track!
5:25 am
grannyrose
nice, mimi.
5:25 am
puglet
thats so great Mimi--so happy for you
5:26 am
MimiCat
Cannot believe I have another cat! This little guy was on the steps to my bldg. and he is so sweet and special. But I'm in a one-bedroom apt. and now have FOUR cats!! Impatient for next year when I'll move into my house in the mountains!
5:27 am
grannyrose
if you will pardon the pun....but that's a lot of pussy...
5:27 am
MimiCat
And remember, rose....you are coming to stay for a bit and we're going to see the Grand Canyon!
5:28 am
grannyrose
i won't forget, mimi.
5:30 am
puglet
Friends, I need to go --- hope to catch you all next weekend--May God bless you all through out the week--hugs and love
5:31 am
MimiCat
Thanks, pug, and have a great week.
5:31 am
grannyrose
hugs and kisses dearest pugs
5:33 am
MimiCat
Well, rose dear, must get started on my work...have a ton today which is why I'm up very early. Take care and hope to see you here soon. Big hug!

6:30 am
MLFAN17
joseph i a gh6 but i dont have it
6:30 am
josephjames
i was afraid of that!
6:30 am
grannyrose
matty, do you remember the actor in all creatures great and small?
6:30 am
mattygroves
I have it, but only by going to morewords. GH+ a sound you make when you're not sure of something + a couple of vowels
6:31 am
mattygroves
There were a bunch - do you mean the actor or the writer?
6:31 am
josephjames
thanks
6:31 am
MLFAN17
matty i dont have it
6:31 am
mattygroves
Ah hah! The writer. Thanks!
6:31 am
MLFAN17
the author of the book?
6:31 am
grannyrose
the actor...james he****
6:32 am
mattygroves
Nope, he wrote it - Christopher Timothy played him in the series (signed, pedantic polly)
6:32 am
grannyrose
duh, me, of course the author.
6:32 am
mattygroves
His real name was James White, I think
6:33 am
sukee
The only name I could think of, other than the author, was Peter Davison :)
6:33 am
josephjames
can anyone help with the right side i
6:33 am
MLFAN17
the H word doesnt work?
6:33 am
mattygroves
Who was, of course, also the fifth doctor and indeed, the dish of the day in Hitchhiker's Guide
6:33 am
josephjames
oh i found them
6:33 am
sukee
So, it that related to the GH word?
6:33 am
grannyrose
ic6, most like the frozen water
6:34 am
sukee
Yes Matty :)
6:34 am
mattygroves
Sorry, I'll stop showing off my geek creds now. ;) I think he's also David Tennant's father in law
6:35 am
grannyrose
okay. * pulling you all into line* lol. he6, he + civil disturbance
6:35 am
lbdawger
gm, everyone! clue for the gh?
6:35 am
sukee
Yes, he is. As you can see, I am a Doctor Who fan. And, his wife played his daughter on the show :)
6:35 am
sukee
Ty Rose, I kept trying two rrs
6:35 am
mattygroves
She did indeed. :) Have you seen last night's yet?
6:35 am
Biltong
Hello again :)
6:36 am
sukee
Yes I have..... so good
6:36 am
grannyrose
lbd, gh6. gh + a long time + vowel
6:36 am
sukee
I can't believe the series is almost over already.
6:36 am
mattygroves
I'm so so about it - sick of the same villains though (the bunch of baddies, not the singular)
6:37 am
Biltong
thanks for the gh, rose

6:37 am

But, the bit about Missy... I had my suspicions.
6:37 am
lbdawger
ty, rose!
6:37 am
sukee
That is what we saw Rose.
6:37 am
mattygroves
Yep, Rose, that's the one

(Hence me being very coy...or at least trying to)
6:38 am

Scrabbler
Pics are on FB. He was going to be released into the wild! The woman said, "He is neglected and just sits in his cage. I think I will just let him loose outside."
9:53 am

9:55 am
Scrabbler
But he is sweet, calm, and loves being held. He is gobbling up hay so I bet he never had any. She was using crappy bunny food, with all the seeds and junk. Now he has timothy-based pellets from Nebraska's Oxbow Animal Health.
9:55 am

10:06 am

Just checked out the new bunny Scrabs. Love the stripe down the back.
10:07 am
Scrabbler
Remy is a tri-colored mini-Rex.
10:07 am
welki
snow is fine - so long as everyone is home, safe and sound. here, the roads aren't kept well and it's an exercise in survival driving if you dare to go out
10:07 am
Scrabbler
The black and orange variety of the tri-colored kind.
10:07 am
hego
Remy, ah. Nice name.
10:07 am
hego
Cute bunny.
10:08 am
welki

10:09 am
Scrabbler
My local sister is here for the weekend and came with me to get the rabbit. We had a list of names then she thought of Remy. Yes, not neutered yet. I am not sure I need to neuter him. He is well-behaved so far.
10:09 am
crosshair
a Remi-saurus-rex:)
10:09 am
hego
haha Crossy
10:09 am
Scrabbler
And since mini-Rexes were originally bred in France in the late 1800's a French name like Remy fits.
10:10 am

10:10 am
hego
Everything I know about rabbits I learned from Scrabs.

10:59 am

11:54 am
jesdraggon
oh, I'm sure Effie would love a second breakfast too :)
11:54 am
MollyL
Second breakfast is the best.
11:57 am
jesdraggon

12:24 pm
jesdraggon
hahaha. i have a 20 month old s/f short haired kitty that lost her leg in a dog fight
12:24 pm
jesdraggon
she's super cute and friendly, vaccinated, microchipped, and has the adorable name of Pet Ball
12:25 pm
jesdraggon
(which could totally be changed if it doesn't suit)
12:25 pm
72 Temple Owl
lol i thought i read "pit bull"
12:26 pm
jesdraggon
ha! that'd be a great name for her! (She started the fight with the dog, because it was eating her food)
12:26 pm
MollyL
Gee, and I thought of lager when I saw fo6

Tiny url for Jes's link:

12:37 pm
nrkii
ooh, yes, you are there too! I've become a little tunnel-visioned lately because super busy, so I had not noticed that you were in both places... :)
12:37 pm
bichon
We don't have snow, but it wicked windy
12:37 pm
nrkii
where, Trif?
12:37 pm

I usually notice you
12:37 pm
MollyL
Penquis said she had snow too.
Even weirder, my sister had snow
in North Carolina.
12:38 pm
Trifioso
it was snowing SIDEWAYS on the way to church. Booooo
12:38 pm
harpjane
Funny, there is a 3 leggedcat on a local bulletin board also
12:38 pm
nrkii
Ooh, I should call my mom and see what she's getting. She's in western MA.
12:38 pm
MollyL
We have big wind here too, but it's not that cold.
12:38 pm
mixi6
no snow here in NC. your sister must be in the mountains.
12:38 pm
nrkii
Very windy here in NJ, and chilly. I'm hibernating.
12:38 pm
jesdraggon
tripods are cute :)
12:39 pm

Yesterday it was 42 and raining, today the same with no rain but awful wind
12:39 pm
MollyL
She is in the mountains Mixi
12:39 pm
nrkii
Bichon, I notice that you are always a high scorer on QP. I notice you there, but never made the connection back to here.
Ciocia Judy also plays both. And Scrabbler. Probably others.
12:42 pm
sammysmom
what is qp ??
12:42 pm
nrkii
I tried to recruit more people over to Quote Puzzler a couple times on Babble before, but it's tough to add even more games to what people already do. I love that QP only takes me about 30 minutes each day, so I always go there first and then come to Babble after that.
12:42 pm
bichon
Yes, Scrabbler and Judy. But I wouldn't call me a high scorer. Sometimes
12:43 pm
mixi6
will have to look into QP.
12:43 pm
bichon
Haz is also nrkii, but I rarely see her on Babble any more
12:43 pm
mixi6
must run. bbl.
12:43 pm

12:43 pm

QP is lots of fun if you like word games. It's time too.
12:43 pm
nrkii
FranMag is on both as well.
12:44 pm
bichon
I don't know here, what is her name on QP?
12:44 pm
bichon
*I meant timed.
12:46 pm
nrkii
Looks like she didn't play yesterday. I think it's FranMag there.
12:46 pm

You are fortunate to have been in Hawaii.

looking up QP
12:58 pm
MollyL
It's Quiz Puzzler Ruby
12:59 pm
MollyL
I didn't know what it was either until someone
explained what QP meant
12:59 pm
jesdraggon
in5 isn't a word, it's a prefix! bah.
1:02 pm
bichon
Molly, have you ever done QP? You'd be good at it
1:03 pm
phandmd
Of course, Molly, but it is hard going from 80's to 40's in one fell swoop
1:03 pm
MollyL
No Bich, I barely have time for this game.
1:03 pm
bichon
I know what you mean
1:03 pm
MollyL
<---Weeps for the tragedy of
Phan's predicament
1:04 pm
bichon
But it doesn't take long as it is timed. I can finish in under 15 min

2:16 pm
72 Temple Owl
it sounds as if the win has died down a bit.
2:20 pm
MollyL
Unless it's really cold (and it's not) I love the wind. Great reminder of the force of nature.
2:20 pm
jesdraggon
i have 3 left and my brain has exited the arena
2:22 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes, had to dodge some large branches down earlier, after all of that rain.

Bon soir, mes amis :-)
2:27 pm

Oh look, she is practicing her French for her trip
: P

*Sets the timer*
2:27 pm

May wee!!!
2:27 pm
harpjane
bon soir soodle
2:28 pm
MollyL
I used to massacre French on purpose to aggravate my husband. Bone sewer
2:28 pm
Soodle
Ah, Harp!! Long time no see. :-)
2:29 pm
MollyL
Oh poor forgetful Soodle. She was just asking Harp about her Ireland trip the other day.
2:29 pm
Soodle
Oh my. My head is melted!
2:30 pm
MollyL
*Pats Soodle on the head and pours her a glass of wine*
2:31 pm
Soodle
Alas. Sunday is a non-vino night, on account of the horror that is Monday morning. :-(
2:33 pm
Soodle
A nun taught me French. Sr Josepha. We used to delight in massacering French to torment her.
2:33 pm
MollyL
Are you such a light weight that one glass of wine would destroy your Monday?
2:34 pm
Soodle
Tis a long time since I was called a light-weight in any context. :-(
2:35 pm
Soodle
We used to drive Sr Josepha banannas by calling her Sr Joe-Feesa. Innocent times!
2:37 pm
MollyL
My Dad's middle name was Joseph. My Mom used to pronounce it Jofus. : D
2:38 pm
MollyL
To tease him, not because she was ignorant of the correct pronunciation.
2:39 pm
Deeha
I have a nephew named Yusuf but my granddaughters cant say that and call him Doofus - so we all call him that now!
2:43 pm
MollyL
Now see, I would have thought of all that before I named a kid Yusef.
2:44 pm
Deeha
True but his dad is muslim it is probably only the English side of the family that cant pronounce it!
2:46 pm
Soodle
Lol, kid's pronounciations can be very funny. My youngest used to declare things to be hobbirle if she deemed them horrible.
2:47 pm
jesdraggon
is there a discrepancy between tile stats and words in the list for anybody but me?
2:47 pm
MollyL
My sister wanted her kids to call my parents Grammy and Grandpa. That got mangled into Maimie and Pee Pot. Maimie stuck, Pee Pot did not.
2:47 pm
Deeha
trouble is you go on reminding them of their pronunciations till they are about 50!!
2:48 pm
MollyL
No discrepancy for me
2:49 pm
Soodle
No Jess, mine tallied. Can I help you with one of my infamously pathetic clues?
2:49 pm
Deeha
y twin's name is Rene but I could only manage wawa, when my daughter was tiny she called her Fifi and it stuck - luckily because before that she called her Weewee
2:50 pm
Soodle
Rofl Moll .. Pee Pot!!! How appropriate! I must remember to tell my Dad that one.
2:51 pm
Soodle
Your post got a bit distorted, Deeha. Are you a twin?
2:51 pm
jesdraggon
weird. my list says i have 3 left, but i've got 4 white tiles in the stats...
2:51 pm
MollyL
My sister's granddaughter calls her Granna. I love that. I was hoping for GraMolly, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.
2:51 pm
Deeha
Yes I have a twin sister
2:52 pm
MollyL
Refresh Jes
2:53 pm
jesdraggon
well poo. reloaded and now they match, because i have 4 words left... it's like the list is growing! :P
2:53 pm
jesdraggon
st7/36 please?
2:53 pm
Soodle
I always, always, always wanted to be a twin. For no reason i could ever understand.
2:54 pm
Soodle
And Molls .... Early days yet. Never say never...
2:54 pm
Soodle
Seems I'm in repetative mode this evening. Sorry
2:55 pm
Deeha
We fought literally tooth and nail when we were little. We mainly avoided each other in our teens. We are now best of friends even ifit took 70 years!!!
2:56 pm
Soodle
I'd say you just described most twins' relationships, Deeha.
2:57 pm
Soodle
So your sisters name is Rene - what's your first name?.. (Hoping it's Renata...)
3:00 pm
Deeha
Her name is actually Irene, we called her Rene, then my daughter renamed her Fifi and her husbands family have given her a Muslim name Rehanna so it gets a bit confusing! Being born so soon after Wizard of Oz my name is Dorothy!!
3:01 pm
Deeha
Cant believe anyone remembers Rene and Renata!! They only made one record didn't they!
3:02 pm
Sam
"Her name was McGill, and she called herself Lil, but everyone knew her as Nancy."
3:02 pm
jesdraggon
nobody has st7/36?
3:02 pm
Deeha
OK folks I am off to watch Downton. Have a good evening all
3:03 pm

howdy, sam
3:03 pm
Sam
Howdy from the lurk section.
3:03 pm
Soodle
Proof of how I excel at table quizzes. I retain the most ridiculous information, yet forget important stuff
3:04 pm
MollyL
I gave up on Downton. Last season was so lame I couldn't muster any interest in watching this year.
3:04 pm
Soodle
Lol, Sam!!
3:04 pm
Sam
I have st7/32, not 36
3:05 pm
MollyL
st7...flummoxed, unable to figure something out.
3:05 pm
jesdraggon
i swear i tried that, molly. thanks.
3:05 pm
Sam
TY Molly. Thought that one required a Y
3:06 pm
MollyL
I've never seen it spelled without a y except for here.
3:06 pm
Sam
That one had me st7/36
3:07 pm
MollyL
g + not him + two vowels, if you can dig that word
3:07 pm
jesdraggon
thanks again
3:08 pm
jesdraggon
and fireworks once i get the grid to re-accept the first word I put in (da4/5).
3:08 pm
MollyL
Ruru, boy genius, got that gh in record time at the flip
3:09 pm
bichon
woot to jes
3:10 pm
Soodle
I'm with you on the Downton thing Molls. Never did a series fail to live up to expectations like DA
3:10 pm
Soodle
Hello Bich. :-)
3:11 pm
bichon
I liked it. I don't know if I want it to continue beyond this year
3:12 pm
Soodle
On the plus side... Son of Soodle treated his elderly mother to a particularly nice Chinese take-away this evening!
3:13 pm
bichon
Yeah for Soodle's kids. Winners all of them
3:21 pm
MollyL
Yee Gods, would you stop referring to yourself as "elderly"?
3:21 pm
MollyL
I thought boyo was out slugging poteen and shooting pheasants.
3:29 pm
MollyL
*Ding* The timer went off
3:30 pm
Soodle
Indeed he was Molly. The pheasant population in the hinterlands of Chez Soodle has been decimated. Whilst I don't necessarily approve of feathered creatures being shot, I thank the stars that he is shooting pheasants, not heroin.
3:31 pm
MollyL
Well, we would all be vegetarians if hunters did not hunt. Glad Son Of Soodle enjoyed a testosterone filled afternoon.
3:32 pm
MollyL
And hell yes on the heroin comment.

I'd rather have early darkness and be able to walk the dogs in daylight in the morning
3:49 pm
MollyL
Don't you walk your dogs at night?
3:50 pm
bichon
yes, but they've been sleeping all night and need to wake up their elimination activity. If you get my meaning
4:03 pm
ChrissieDee
Very polite expression bichon :)
4:04 pm
bichon
I try to make things civilized here
4:04 pm

I hate waking up in the dark in the morning. It's cold.

5:36 pm
lilliann
It's our 14th wedding anniversary tomorrow and i think i've probably seen him about 7 years worth in all that time,if that
5:38 pm

it's hard to maintain a marriage when there are so many long absences - on the other hand, it seems to work for you, so maybe there's some merit to it :)

Crossy, i've put my email up and will get rid of it in a few minutes.
5:40 pm

Yes, i must admit,i'm used to it and 2 months with him at home normally does my head in but i would prefer him to be back a bit more and longer than a day and a half every 6-9 weeks
5:41 pm
welki
and - 15! hahaha, no light at the end of the tunnel for quite some time - girls can be rough at that age, sooo sensitive, but 'leave me alone,' you'll have your hands full. i know the two of you get on fine, but it's a rollercoaster from 15-19
5:41 pm

Let's hope you don't have too much snow Welki
5:41 pm

Is five inches really a lot?
5:48 pm
rururocks
Of snow...
5:48 pm
lilliann
It was my idea to have Christmas before we went away as she didn't want to come on holiday and i think she misses not having her Grandad with us Christmas as he won't come with us and i suggested it to my hubby so he put it to her as his idea and suggested that she has to do everything...planning, cooking and let him know how much per head
5:48 pm
crosshair
not really, but here, all the people have to learn to drive in it again. is really dangerous out there for the first few snowfalls

by mid-December we are all in the groove once again, tearing down snow-packed roads at 80k with a latte in one hand, yelling at the kids in the back, and driving with one hand:)
5:52 pm
lilliann
I didn't like driving in the snow and it's nowt like you get Crossy.I just hate being cold and the when it snows it makes me dizzy...so it wasn't a good combination
5:52 pm
lilliann
5 inches is alot to some people Ru:)
5:53 pm
rururocks
Well....
5:53 pm

best for driving is good solid snow-pack. The wet sloppy stuff is what causes collisions; that and ice
5:54 pm
rururocks
Yeah when i lived in oregon we had black ice...hated that
5:54 pm
lilliann
Aye, ours is normally sloppy and balck ice

Am going with a good friend, his wife and kids to a great zoo here...I'm SO much fun to go there with because I speak the languages!
6:12 pm
MimiCat
And I can tell the kids things no one else does.
6:13 pm
lilliann
i watched a programme here a few weeks ago and it showed a male gorilla who had to have his arm amputated because is hand was shot to pieces, literally as he got shot when he was a baby and his mother got killed, but he was 6 i think when they did it and the lady who is English and bought him up in this gorilla centre found it difficult to make the decision because she wasn't sure how the other gorillas would then treat him, but they all mothered him, which was lovely to see
6:14 pm
lilliann
If i ever get to the States, i will definitely go there then Mimi

I could not get so close and not go to Scotland.
6:16 pm

6:17 pm

I used to live near both of the Aspinall Zoos and have been loads of times and loved watching the gorillas
6:17 pm

6:21 pm
lilliann
Wow!! I've never seen a humming bird but i have seen a humming bird moth which i thought was great
6:21 pm
MimiCat
The cats love watching them, too. But it gets a little hectic with other birds as well and sometimes I feel like Tippi Hedren.
6:22 pm
lilliann
I've been to Africa, but not to the Countries that i can do a safari, but would love to.
6:22 pm
MimiCat
We have a place here in Arizona called Ramsey Canyon that has bungalows with lots of feeders and hummers come there from all over. They're used to people so you can get quite close and some will perch on your finger.
6:23 pm
MimiCat
Hummers are gutsy little birds...they tame down easily.
6:24 pm
MimiCat
Now that I finally have a camera I'm going to take some pics of my beautiful balcony patio and hope to get some pics of hummers, too.
6:24 pm
lilliann
Tippi Hedren, was that the actress in "the Birds" and isn't she Melanie Griffiths mam?
6:25 pm
MimiCat
Yes on both counts!
6:25 pm
MimiCat
She also has a foundation and a rehabilitation center for orphaned, abused, unwanted exotic animals. She's amazing.

I made red pepper/heritage tomato soup last week with bacon and grilled shallots.. that was yummy and I made grilled cheese sandwiches.. that's what I was craving

they sound delicious
10:21 pm
rururocks
you get firm black olives.. and dip them in a milk/flour/egg batter// and deep fry them in canola oil.. just briefly until they are crispy and brown.. they are amazing with scallops and truffles
10:21 pm
harpjane
36 to go. i am so hungry! would you people mind ceasing all talk about food until i get finished?
10:22 pm
rururocks
you have to use a paring knife to cut them into spiral curls
10:22 pm
rururocks
very sharp knife
10:22 pm
tceicher
thanks, I love black olives. do you spiral them first,
10:22 pm
rururocks
spiral first

10:23 pm

spell you would be a pain in the ass to cook for :D
10:23 pm
SpellCheck
Oh no, if you want to do the work, I'm totally okay with that.
10:24 pm
SpellCheck
But it does take a few weeks to get used to the "no meat, no eggs, no dairy" thing
10:24 pm
rururocks
to do the potatoes.. you slice them really thin.. and brown them in a sauté pan.. with olive oil.. until they are crispy and golden brown.. lay them out on paper towels until they dry.. then just put them inm a warm oven before serving
10:25 pm
tceicher
and how, may I ask, did you prepare the lamb?
10:25 pm
rururocks
the scallops you bread on one side and sear them on higher heat and then when golden brown.. flip them and touch them until they don't jiggle and are firmer.
10:26 pm
rururocks
place the potatoes in a line on the plate .. place a couple scallops on top.. decorate with deep fried olives and arugula and drizzle with white truffle oil and salt and pepper
10:26 pm
tceicher
The whole meal sounds wonderful!
10:26 pm
