3:40 am
grannyrose

3:43 am
rubyfoo
that sounds wonderful
3:43 am
grannyrose
ruby, google lake's entrance. it's a very popular holiday resort.
3:45 am
rubyfoo

3:45 am
rubyfoo
I am NOT a nice person
3:45 am

3:50 am
rubyfoo
The other night, though, I was on at the same time as soodle and a bunch of us got into a rather risqué chat. I'm sorry you missed it. Everybody started contributing rhymes
3:50 am
grannyrose
ruby...so long as HE doesn't feel too warm, let it be. i know it irks when something is in the wrong order. but if it works, hun, stand back.
3:50 am
rubyfoo
"choose my battles", right?
3:51 am
grannyrose
ruby, it's just like bringing up a child...what they want to do, if it is not ha4ful to them, then let it alone.
3:51 am
rubyfoo
see you later, sweetie
3:52 am
grannyrose
exactly, my dear. hope your day is delightful. xoxox
4:02 am
rubyfoo

Nasty weather here too Annie. *Passes Annie a hot toddy*
12:32 pm
Anniebrook
Hi Owl, I dont like to drive on TG anymore. My daughter said he would come and get me but I am not up to that yet. So, home it is and it will be fine. The day I watch football with Bobby and eat in the livingroom. What are your plans?
12:33 pm
Anniebrook
*gratefully accepts hot toddy*
12:33 pm
MollyL
Have you been sick Annie?
12:35 pm
Anniebrook
No, Molly. Why do you ask? Oh, I see what you mean. No, I just don't want her to get me and then she has to bring me home.
12:36 pm
MollyL
Ah, I misunderstood "not up to that yet". Glad you haven't been sick. Sounds like a cozy day for you and your son.
12:36 pm
Anniebrook
Molly, Yes, I am looking forward to a quiet day. What are you plans for TG?

suppposed to be gathering in bear-land. but i think their forecast is -10in
12:38 pm
Anniebrook
Owl, bear-land? Poconos?
12:39 pm
72 Temple Owl
no, near apshawa preserve. where the bear ate the young man earlier this year.
12:39 pm
Anniebrook
Oh, that was awful.
12:41 pm
MollyL
Well, we were all supposed to gather at my son's house but my daughter-in-law was hospitalized with a Crohn's flare up, so it's going to be a small gathering at my house instead.
12:41 pm
72 Temple Owl
my mother always warned me not to take an after dinner walk...
12:42 pm
72 Temple Owl
sorry to hear that, molly.
12:42 pm
Anniebrook
Molly, Sorry to hear about your daughter-in-law.
12:43 pm
MollyL
Thanks Annie and TO. It's been a rough struggle for those two with the Crohn's. The "in sickness" part of marriage is no fun.
12:44 pm
Anniebrook
Molly, Has she ever considered taking Humira for the Crohn's?
12:45 pm
MollyL
Oh Annie, she has taken everything. And been everywhere, including Mayo. They just can't get a handle on what her particular deal is.
12:46 pm
Anniebrook
Molly, That is so stressful. My heart goes out to them.
12:48 pm
uusue2
Molly, so sorry to hear about your daughter-in-law. Crohn's is an awful disease.

Hi Sue, I wish you and Frank a peaceful Thanksgiving day.

The house is cold becauxe there's no central heat, but outside it's clement

It's a good place to live ruby
1:33 pm

Yes, I can put up with the cold house just for the splendid view and the garden
1:34 pm
bichon
there's a fireplace?
1:35 pm
rubyfoo
Yes, one in the living room and one in the kitchen/breakfast room. And the wallcovering is mostly warm colors, so that helps. LOL
1:35 pm
rubyfoo
There are electric radiators in the bathrooms
1:36 pm

Alot of the older French houses don't have radiators.They have electic heaters and wood burns to keep rooms warm and hi all
1:54 pm
lilliann
I'm sorry to hear about your daughter-in-law Molly, my friend has Crohns aswell and it flares up from time to time.I hope she feels better and gets out of hospital soon
1:54 pm
MollyL
Thank you L, I appreciate your good thoughts.
1:56 pm
lilliann
I also hope that all my American friends have a great Thanksgiving and that you can all get to your families safely, especially with the bad snow some of you are having.
1:57 pm
MollyL
I feel sorry for anyone traveling in this part of the US today. It's miserable.
1:58 pm
lilliann
My good thoughts are always sent to babble friends and families :)
1:58 pm
lilliann
Are you having it bad too Molly?
2:02 pm
lilliann
Molly, Do you know how long your daughter-in-law will be in hospital? You can have another one when she is out so she and your son don't miss out with family time.
2:05 pm
MollyL
It is up in the air how long she will be in the hospital. My son works restaurant hours so it's hard for him to juggle time off and family dinners. We will just make up for this at Christmas.
2:12 pm
lilliann
Well,i hope she is out soon and then you can have a great Christmas all together.
2:17 pm
MollyL
I am making good use of my sudden acquisition of free time by making pecan pie cookies. It smells good in here.
2:23 pm
lilliann
I've never had pecan pie or cookies, but i do like the smell of freshly cooked biscuits/cakes and pies
2:53 pm
72 Temple Owl
they sound good! i may bake walnut tassies.
3:00 pm
lilliann
Hi TO.What are walnut tassies?
3:09 pm
72 Temple Owl
tartletswith walnut filling
3:13 pm
lilliann
Sounds good.I love walnuts,but they are very expensive here along with most nuts.
3:25 pm
Elsebet
One I am done with work I am going to make a chocolate pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and cranberry relish. Hoping I can get out early. :)
3:25 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes, i found 18 oz for 6.99, a good price.
3:26 pm
72 Temple Owl
ok elsebet. what time should we come over? :)
3:28 pm

Hello everybody, wishing you all a very happy Thanksgiving. Molls, that's a bummer for your DIL. I hope she recovers quickly.

lilliann
Hi Lexi and Soodle :)
3:34 pm
Soodle
Hey Lil. :-)
3:36 pm
lilliann
I'm watching 'I'm a Celebrity' and wish i wasn't because if i have to see Kendra whine on when doing another challenge i'm going to pull my hair out...she's worse than a toddler!
3:37 pm
MollyL
Thank you Soodle.
3:37 pm
lilliann
How she can be called a celebrity when she slept with Hugh Hefner,i have no idea
3:38 pm
Soodle
Thank goodness I didn't get hooked on it this year. I watched one episode & was bamboozled by CIA, so I switched over.
3:38 pm
MollyL
Just another in a long line of ho's that slept with Hefner.
3:42 pm
lilliann
What annoys me, is that she gets payed about a two figure sum, as in ??.ooo just for whining and saying @i can't do it'....i can do that for less money.
3:43 pm
lilliann
He was 78 when she slept with him so she said.
3:44 pm
MollyL
I had to look up the show you are talking about. Seems like a strange premise for television.
3:46 pm
lilliann
To be quite honest, half of them aren't celebrities.One of them was voted out of x factor a few weeks ago and now he's on this show and it says he is a 'reality tv star.' Get out of it, he didn't even make it to the quarter finals, plus he is annoying with his high pitched voice and his flirting with the females...he's a right dog!
3:47 pm
Soodle
But strangely addictive, Molls. Which is why I'm glad I didn't get sucked in this year.
3:48 pm
MollyL
I've never been a big fan of "voting" shows.
3:48 pm
lilliann
Yes, i always say i'm not going to watch it again and hubby hates programmes like this but also gets sucked in.I just like watching them have to eat animals' penises and other appendages...lol
3:49 pm
MollyL
L, you need to get out more.
3:53 pm
lilliann
I know, sad eh? I just laugh at their faces.Some of them get paid as much as £100,000 and they only have to stay in 3 days to get their full money, so i think they should all eat things like that.Then they whine on that they don't like bugs...well, they are in a jungle and they know before they go in that the challenges always have bugs and reptiles in them.it's not a holiday!
3:55 pm
72 Temple Owl
i don't think i could eat such even for that much pay.
3:56 pm
lilliann
But when they get voted off it is a lovely hotel and all their rooms have kitchenettes and food and champagne/alcohol in.I'd go on there and be glad to be voted off and then swim in a nice pool and sunbathe for 2 weeks whilst i waited for the others to be voted off
3:59 pm
lilliann
They don't all get to eat horrible things To.Some of them hardly do anything, especially if they don't get voted by the public.
4:01 pm
MollyL
L, stick with the sewing bee show. It's much better for your mental health.
4:04 pm
lilliann
Lol Molly, yes that and the Great British Bake off, oh and i do like Strictly.I don't get annoyed with people with those shows and they don't wind me up.
4:06 pm
lilliann
Plus in two of the shows they're not celebrities so they don't get paid.
4:07 pm
Soodle
My guilty TV secret is the soap operas. Eastenders, Coronation Street & the Irish one, Fair City. I don't sit down to watch them, but they're on in the kitchen as I potter about, so I absorb them, more than watch them.
4:09 pm
lilliann
I use to watch Eastenders and Neighbours but i don't bother now as they got boring in the end.
4:12 pm

Well Phan, I hope your girl makes extra money for working on a holiday. I feel bad for people who have to work so that others can be off celebrating.
4:20 pm

I agree. I refuse to shop on Thanksgiving. This year my husband volunteered me to cook dinner at his mother's, so we won't even go out.
4:39 pm
72 Temple Owl
i have mied emotions. most peple are off and have time they may not have otherwise. and people need to work. My only problem is when people are coercced to work.
4:40 pm
mixi6
My husband was coerced to work for years. He worked all mon-fri, unless he was on vacation. Including thanksgiving and Christmas.
4:41 pm
mixi6
To take vacation, someone had to cover for him. He retired this summer.
4:42 pm
MollyL
There should be some days when businesses just close their doors and let people go home to be with their families. Thanksgiving is one of those days.
4:42 pm

sick of 6 months of forced overtime.
5:07 pm
72 Temple Owl
what industry was that?
5:27 pm
MimiCat
I saw something on TV today (can't remember the show) where a person said you could tell the nature of a culture by what their tallest buildings represented. For example, long ago churches were the biggest and tallest as people were focused on religion. Now, the tallest tend to be banks and shopping locations. Guess today we really do worship the almighty dollar.
5:30 pm
bichon
what is the third pa 8, pls
5:31 pm
72 Temple Owl
perhaps. or perhaps just a function of space.

I should know that, being diabetic

7:16 pm
Aloyisius
lol.. yup, a calendar would be a necessity.. how wonderful to have such markers on your yearly calendar.. so, you fostered a son before you began a bio family? My hat is off to you, mkg!
7:16 pm
mkg
i am blessed with them and the fact that they all want us to visit them. and they call call to ask questions about child rearing which is a really fantastic thing....makes me feel wanted, needed and blessed that they want my view.
7:17 pm
mkg
resc*n is too a word!!!!!!!!!! if i sc*n documents and they dont go through, i resc*n them!
7:18 pm
Aloyisius
yes, what a wonderful feeling.. and such a testament to all that you did when you raised them.. yay
7:20 pm
mkg
well for sure i made many many mistakes. for sure. i was sometimes to harsh, sometimes to lenient, but i guess somehow my love and caring for them came through.
7:21 pm
Aloyisius
absolutely so.. you did a super job
7:21 pm
Aloyisius
being a grandparent is the best!

tries to picture Trif in Blue hair
7:46 pm
Trifioso
hopefully this color does...trying a new one. Tertiare picked it out, and she has a great style eye, so I feel sure I will be fine. If not, it will wash out soon enough
7:46 pm
Trifioso
hahha, ruru....red, not blue
7:46 pm
rururocks
a little blue and you'd be patriotic
7:47 pm
Aloyisius
well, let us know.. I may be inspired by you in the New Year to try something new
7:47 pm
Aloyisius

7:47 pm

I guess I would, ruru...I did have multi-color hair back in the 80s, when new wave was all the rage
