cybernan

12:56 am

grannyrose

i must be getting old. a lovely young cricketer, aged 26, has died over here, after being hit in the neck by a ball. even don is tearful as he reads out the media releases.

12:57 am

grannyrose

it doesn't help that my youngest is just two years older. my heart goes out to his family.

12:58 am

cybernan

yes, it was covered in our news this evening as well -- very tragic

12:59 am

cybernan

I don't think anyone will need clues for this one so off to bed -- see you tomorrow :-)

1:00 am

flosey

goodnight Nan

1:00 am

grannyrose

nan, his injury is usually instantly fatal. but the club doctor kept him alive until the paramedics got there. he had all the best possible options open to him.

1:00 am

grannyrose

sweet dreams, nan. will catch you tomorrow when i get home.

1:25 am

flosey

down to last word and can't get it, any clues for sc5 before the man who wears the kilt?

Lizlin

Not long now ....

2:12 am

rolin

hey...did you get any blow back from the brisbane storm?

2:13 am

Lizlin

No! We had some rain. Enough to fill the tank. Nothing like poor Brisbane. Did you see the size of the hailstones?

2:14 am

Lizlin

Still desperately need rain.

2:14 am

rolin

i did..its been on the news... there was footage of someone in the car having their windscreen cracked!

rubyfoo

3:24 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} liz girl. has sprite been on yet?

3:24 am

Lizlin

Sounds like you're having a wonderful time.

3:25 am

Lizlin

Not that I've seen - but I've not been here all the time.

3:25 am

Lizlin

Did you catch her yesterday?

3:25 am

rubyfoo

liz, do you know the place where Rose is?

3:26 am

grannyrose

ruby, tonight was an all you can eat buffet. bbq pork spare ribs, veal medallions, honey sesame prawns, roast lamb or pork, mini dimsims...

3:26 am

Lizlin

No but it's somewhere I'd like to visit.

3:26 am

grannyrose

liz, i did see her yesterday. it was just after you went.

3:26 am

Lizlin

OK.

3:26 am

Lizlin

SORRY I MISSED YOU.

3:26 am

rubyfoo

that buffet sonds like heaven (unless you're a vegetarian - lol)

3:27 am

Lizlin

sorry for shouting!

3:27 am

Lizlin

Or kosher!

3:27 am

grannyrose

ruby, plenty of veg di4es available

3:28 am

Lizlin

Veg us fine - fish too.

3:28 am

grannyrose

*giggle* liz, it's okay, you have to be heard over don's ramblings on...

3:28 am

rubyfoo

just kidding; I'm def a carnvore/omnivore -- if it holds still I'll eat it

3:28 am

Lizlin

Lol!

3:29 am

rubyfoo

Since it was just the two of us, I made a guinea hen instead of a turkey plus plus plus

3:29 am

grannyrose

*yawn* have been out in the fresh sea air for most of the day. we have played mini golf each day.

3:30 am

Lizlin

Time for do dins! Hope to catch you again soon - probably not tomorrow coz we're going out. Hugs to you both. Hugs palsy to pugs, if you see her tomorrow.

3:30 am

Lizlin

Dindins*

3:30 am

grannyrose

np's liz. catch you when we get home.

3:30 am

rubyfoo

<-- misses the ocean, any ocean!

3:30 am

Lizlin

Damned auto correct! Palsy?!

3:31 am

rubyfoo

(I was wondering.....)

3:31 am

grannyrose

ruby, how is burt? any improvement?

3:32 am

rubyfoo

he got up at 3AM and started to get dressed!

3:33 am

grannyrose

egad, ruby....what time did he think it was??

3:33 am

rubyfoo

I have no idea as he has as clock right net to his side of the bed. Fortunately, he got back to sleep.

3:34 am

rubyfoo

I can't type, again.

3:34 am

grannyrose

thank goodness, dear. how worrying for you.

3:34 am

rubyfoo

He gets odder by the day

3:34 am

rubyfoo

was Mother Mac like that toward the end?

3:36 am

grannyrose

she had all her marbles til the end. my mother was the one who went off to fairy land. she didn't even recognise me the last 3 days of her life.

3:37 am

rubyfoo

I'm really glad his daughter is coming next week as who knows how fast this decline will do

3:37 am

grannyrose

i think it's all to do with oxygenation of the brain. any cardiac issues, or respiratory issues, or like what burt has, the TIA's will induce the same lack of cognitive function.

3:38 am

rubyfoo

My father lived to be about 93 or 4 and had his marbles, too. My mother had hers, too, but couldn't speak after her strokes but still hung on for a couple of years

3:39 am

rubyfoo

It is possible that he had another Tia yesterday before he fell. YThere is no wasy of knowing and he refuses to have any more tests

3:39 am

grannyrose

i think it is highly probable, ruby. given what he was like after you and luisa picked him up.

3:40 am

grannyrose

do you check his hand grips after each episode?

3:40 am

rubyfoo

All I can do is try to keep him safe and well-fed. I can't make him happy and he won't take an anti-depressant

3:41 am

rubyfoo

He holds my hand very (too) tightly

3:41 am

grannyrose

ruby, compare the left to the right, dear. if one is weaker, then he has had another TIA

3:42 am

rubyfoo

OK, will do. For now,I have to go

3:42 am

rubyfoo

XXRosie, sweetie!

3:42 am

grannyrose

okay, love. i hope you can have a nice day. xoxox

4:17 am

sprite

good morning all

4:23 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} darling sprite. i was about to give up and ho to bed. lovely to see you, dear one.

4:23 am

grannyrose

*giggle* ho...go...which ever, both are good...lol

4:23 am

sprite

hello my darling rose :) Sorry, I slept in all of a sudden. Guess I still need a lot of sleep.

4:24 am

grannyrose

well you are here now, and that is what counts. yes, sweetie, lots of good healing sleep.

4:25 am

sprite

how was your day?

4:26 am

grannyrose

lovely, despite the sunburn. found some aloe vera at the chemist, and some roll-on SPF 50. have applied both liberally.

4:27 am

sprite

good girl :) Sunburn is so unpleasant. But glad you had a lovely day. What did you guys do?

4:27 am

grannyrose

just shows how much it was needed....you could almost here my skin slurping it in.

4:27 am

sprite

*giggles* Ssssssssslurp!

4:28 am

grannyrose

another round of mini golf...i let don win...his poor male ego was becoming fragile....lol. in the spa first thing for about 30mins.

4:28 am

sprite

ah sounds great

4:28 am

grannyrose

light lunch at the bakery. afternoon nap, then out for dinner at the bowl club.

4:29 am

sprite

great program

4:30 am

grannyrose

how was your day yesterday? did you manage to rest up between shopping and cooking?

4:30 am

grannyrose

oh, and walking Terra of course.

4:31 am

sprite

yes I did, and I felt better too. More energy. Am getting over the whole accident thing, I think. Back to normal :) And today is a free me day.

4:31 am

grannyrose

nice to have those me days. very essential for our sanity.

4:32 am

sprite

so true. Haven't even dressed yet. Sitting in my bathrobe, babbling and yawning and feeling good.

4:33 am

grannyrose

we will be travelling for mo4 of tomorrow. should be home just before the flip. i think i am gonna be tired then. my body simply does not like being hurtled through space....lol

4:34 am

sprite

traveling is very tiring. Especially when you are HSP. So many triggers and impulses and impressions.

4:36 am

grannyrose

good for you, sprite. have you a little special something planned just for you?

4:36 am

sprite

no not really. Being home by myself without any obligations for today is special.

4:37 am

grannyrose

yeah, i know that feeling all too well. you feel like running screaming through the house just because you can.

4:38 am

sprite

hehehe exactly :) And enjoying the silence.

4:39 am

sprite

tricky little grid, isn't it?

4:39 am

grannyrose

no one saying where are my socks/jumper/coat/shoes? what's for lunch? when is dinner? what are you reading/doing ?

4:39 am

sprite

or the ubiquitous Mummmmm! Mummmmm!

4:40 am

grannyrose

a few nasty curly ones...

4:40 am

sprite

phantom: stomach

4:41 am

grannyrose

oh, yes...i forgot about the muuummmm!!! these days it's more graaaannnyyy rose? *sigh*

4:43 am

sprite

ah but that is occasionally, and sweet, grin.

4:44 am

grannyrose

oh yeah....but i had my fair share of muuuummmm i can tell you.

4:45 am

sprite

Oh I don't doubt that, lol. Those boys... Seems they can never locate anything on their own.

4:45 am

grannyrose

*giggle* did i ever tell you that deacon talks as fast as he runs? it is so hard to understand him. i told him he had to speak slower so that my ears could keep up...lol

4:46 am

sprite

lol! I told my kids mothers go deaf when they are on the toilet. All well again as soon as the door opens again.

4:47 am

grannyrose

nice one, i wish i had thought of that when the boys were little.

4:48 am

sprite

survivalism, grin

4:48 am

grannyrose

because i had polished wood floors, i could always hear them coming. they used to go down on all fours and peer under the door to speak to me. manys the time i tricked them by lifting my feet up off the floor.

4:48 am

sprite

lololllll

4:49 am

grannyrose

* chuckling* at the memories

4:51 am

sprite

oh... reminds me of one birthday... lots of people in the house and serving cake. One of the guests hid the children's cake when they weren't looking. The kids were like, huh? And I told them it was 'run-away-cake'.

4:51 am

sprite

the guest put it back again when they weren't looking, and then took it again, it was hilarious. The kids totally believed it, and held on to it while eating it.

4:52 am

sprite

and we still call that kind of cake 'run=away=cake' here in the house

4:52 am

grannyrose

poor kids....how old were they?

4:52 am

sprite

around 4 and 6, I think

4:53 am

grannyrose

i can just imagine it....

4:53 am

sprite

so sweet. And a great memory.

4:58 am

sprite

name that proper noun: famous french singer

4:58 am

grannyrose

sprite, love. nearly 10pm here, and we have to be up and packed and out of here by 10am. i think i had better try and get some sleep....and allow myself some leeway in the morning. my body simply hates it when i rush around doing stuff.

4:58 am

sprite

indeed, sweetie. Sleep well and have a save journey home. And rest when home... you will need it. *hugs*

4:58 am

grannyrose

sorry hun, not up on my french singers...

4:59 am

sprite

hehehe ok. It is Adamo.

4:59 am

grannyrose

ahhhh, thanx for the enlightenment. a recent singer?

5:01 am

sprite

no, my generation.

5:01 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and xxxxxx dearest. will catch you tomorrow. hope you have a lovely day.

5:02 am

sprite

5:02 am

sprite

5:57 am

good morning everyone

6:07 am

sukee

Hi Crossy, just got here

6:34 am

Uneaixoise

morning, all :-)

6:37 am

MollyL

Une, people should NOT do that to their dogs.
: D

6:38 am

Uneaixoise

just a graphic i found online :-)

6:39 am

Uneaixoise

am sure it was just for a quick photo!

6:40 am

Uneaixoise

back in a mo!

6:57 am

Do not get me going on politically correct Christmas greetings. We do not ask our Jewish friends to alter the way they refer to their festivities, so why demand that any other religion do the same? I get tired of kowtowing to those who create a cause just for the sake of the chaos it generates:)

6:58 am

crosshair

I make it a point to shop at retailers who are not afraid to say the "C" word in their advertizing

7:02 am

josephjames

so hypothetically, if judaism were the dominant religion, and you were a christian, you wouldn't mind being wished a happy hanukkah everywhere you went

7:02 am

crosshair

If it is the time for Hanukka, then yes, it is fine

7:02 am

MollyL

I'm a little perplexed that in our county schools, kids cannot sing anything but "Holiday Songs" but The Dreidel Song is acceptable.

7:03 am

crosshair

It does not offend me

7:03 am

crosshair

good point, molly

7:04 am

crosshair

Should we go to other countries, other places of worship and dictate how they refer to their beliefs? no.

7:05 am

MollyL

All I'm saying is if religion doesn't belong in schools, then that means all religion.

7:05 am

crosshair

I am not even Christian,; it is the point of those who are being ordered on how to refer to that which they celebrate

7:05 am

MollyL

Public schools, I should have said.

7:05 am

crosshair

I am all for other religions in schools, as long as there is a student population to support it

7:06 am

crosshair

But , at last count there were over 2400 seperate and identifiable religions... not enough classrooms for all of them:))

7:07 am

MollyL

I went to a Catholic high school and took a course called World Religions that I found very interesting. I enjoyed learning about other religions. I don't know why we are so "religion phobic" these days.

7:07 am

crosshair

IMHO those who worship in their own way should be free to do so without me or anyone else dictating how they refer to it or go about it

7:08 am

crosshair

There are so real interesting ones out there:)

7:10 am

crosshair

In Asia, are they forced to use some generic term for the way they worship?

7:10 am

crosshair

that is my 2 cents woth.

7:10 am

crosshair

lol

7:17 am

crosshair

and if Judaism were the dominant religion, Joseph, I would be polite and wish them happy Hanukkah as they celebrate and not hold forth on how my own view of God differs from theirs, and that they should alter their greeting because of it.

7:17 am

crosshair

Now we can discuss puppies and kittens:)

7:19 am

periwinkle

good morning all, help with middle I pls

7:19 am

periwinkle

I am not going shopping today but I will go to the gym after I do laundry, what an exciting day!

7:20 am

crosshair

howdy peri... please to not say laundry... it may hear you:)

7:20 am

periwinkle

haha

7:20 am

periwinkle

I am almost out of underwear *blushing*

7:22 am

crosshair

Just a day in the life around here. The laundry always wins

7:23 am

crosshair

Off to class. tc all...poink!

7:26 am

MollyL

I was looking at photographs of WalMart on Black Friday thinking "Why do people do that?"

bichon

It's part of human nature to want to get a bargain, no matter whaat

8:04 am

bichon

Hannukah has become the consolation prize in America. You don't get Christmas, so we'll turn a minor Jewish holiday into something really big so you don't feel left out

8:07 am

MollyL

Why is Hannukah a consolation prize? I think it's a beautiful holiday with wonderful history.

8:09 am

bichon

Yes, but left alone, it is a minor holiday. It's not like Christmast which is central to Christianity. The idea isn't presents.. My ancestors would be shocked at the idea of presents

8:14 am

MollyL

Well, the central idea of Christmas (the celebration of Christ's birth) isn't presents either.

8:14 am

Judi

Good morning, all!

8:15 am

mattygroves

OK, I absolutely love the definition of the wa7/56. I looked it up. I shall use it, probably in a slightly rude sense

8:15 am

bichon

I think observant Jews abhor the idea of a Jewish holiday being linked with a holiday of of another religion.

8:17 am

bichon

matty, letting my imagination run free

8:19 am

mattygroves

Seriously, look it up. I shall use it next time Jeff is sans attire

8:20 am

bichon

I looked it up and I fully understand

8:22 am

MollyL

Oh wow, I'm sure that will be provocative for him.

8:42 am

periwinkle

help with that wa7 pls

8:42 am

10:08 am

Well if I had said "meter word" it would end in a vowel. But I said "ometer" so it ends in a consonant.

Hi!

we're hardly ever on at the same time

10:10 am

rubyfoo

leftovers heating up, but it's not turkey, just guinea fowl

10:10 am

rubyfoo

and we ate all the dark meat so this is less than interesting

10:12 am

westford

I wanted a Cape Codder yesterday but our dining room is in turmoil..new ceiling and walls due to bathroom leak..anyway, we couldn't get to the vodka so my husband wanted to borrow some from the neighbor. I said you may not go over there and ask to borrow a cup of vodka

10:12 am

rubyfoo

83 words and see you later, kids.

10:12 am

car.eeyore

I totally would have....

10:12 am

car.eeyore

10:12 am

rubyfoo

Nothing wrong with borrowing a cup of vodka.

10:12 am

westford

we settled for Jack and water instead

10:13 am

westford

but we are the nice older couple..whatever would they think?

10:13 am

car.eeyore

That you totally rock

10:13 am

rubyfoo

Jack & water sounds pretty good to me

10:13 am

penquis

in more ways than one, lol....

10:13 am

It was good..always is

10:13 am

10:15 am

westford

now I want one

10:15 am

car.eeyore

Each time I made one, a child came and took it, so I was just not paying attention by the time I got to the third one.

10:17 am

car.eeyore

My soon to be 12 YO confessed to me last night that he "knows" about Santa. Broke my heart.

10:17 am

westford

aww that is sad

10:17 am

MollyL

Well Car, most kids know WAY before that age.

10:18 am

car.eeyore

He will keep it quiet for his little brother. I told him that I still believe in Santa...the magic, the goodness, the hope....

10:18 am

westford

but are they really sure Molly ?

10:18 am

car.eeyore

I know. He says he has known for a couple of years.

10:19 am

MollyL

In this day and age, sadly, they are really sure. Kids fake believing because they think they will get better loot that way

10:19 am

car.eeyore

my little man is growing up <sigh>

10:19 am

westford

the Santa in the Macy's parade was the real thing..I'm sure of it.

10:19 am

MollyL

He was a great Santa, West.

10:20 am

westford

time for the original Miracle on 34th street again

10:20 am

MollyL

Car, once you start getting into the "F YOU" fights, you can be sure that hormones have taken over and your "child" is gone.

10:20 am

car.eeyore

:(

10:21 am

car.eeyore

I catch a glimpse of him every now and then...like this morning while he played Legos on my bed and showed me all the guys he created.

10:21 am

MollyL

Speaking of the Macy's parade, I was really looking forward to hearing Idina Menzel sing, and she had to sing that atrocious Mariah Carey song. Blech.

10:22 am

westford

I really don't care at all for anything about Mariah Carey

10:26 am

car.eeyore

Nor do I

10:50 am

wvteach

Earlier, Matty said she was going to use wa7 next time her boyfriend was without clothes. Not sure if that is the way to go though.

10:53 am

car.eeyore

LMAO!

10:54 am

MollyL

Men don't seem to find humor in things like that.

10:54 am

car.eeyore

OK...on that note....HAGD all!

10:54 am

MollyL

Although it does seem a very British thing to say to a naked man.

10:55 am

MollyL

Blimey love, you're looking a bit wa7

11:41 am

pippingeek

more enjoyable

11:42 am

rururocks

I think I like the real thing better than the can .. but that's just me

11:42 am

pippingeek

i like them all, real, fake, each one has its own specific pleasures

11:43 am

rururocks

hmmm

11:43 am

rururocks

I can think of only certain pleasures with canned whipped cream :D

11:45 am

pippingeek

for all my adventures, i've never done that

11:46 am

rururocks

it actually sounds more fun than it is

11:46 am

pippingeek

i was gonna say, it doesn't really sound like all that much fun

11:46 am

pippingeek

and a few seconds of pleasure doesn't sound worth dead brain cells

11:47 am

rururocks

oh.. you're talking about huffing.. I was way away from that

11:48 am

pippingeek

okay. then i don't know what you're talking about :I

11:48 am

rururocks

11:49 am

pippingeek

11:54 am

rururocks

pippingeek

and i lecture my thanksgiving feast peoples about the correct use of lie vs lay

12:29 pm

rururocks

12:29 pm

pippingeek

because it makes me crazy when people tell dogs to lay down -- what do you want the dog to lay down? oh, you want him to lie down? then tell him THAT

12:30 pm

MollyL

Watch that grammar stuff here, people get their panties in a wad

12:30 pm

rururocks

I so wanted wadish to be a word today

12:31 pm

MollyL

Sadly, you missed the discussion about wa7

12:32 pm

rururocks

oh... I don't seem to understand why people worry so much about grammar here and not tyops.

12:32 pm

rururocks

12:41 pm

MollyL

Wow, that was nice of you.

12:41 pm

rururocks

you know? it really was.. I was just happy to be with them.. and it was nice to have someone cook for me. I really enjoyed it.

12:42 pm

rururocks

I thought something useful and necessary for xmas was better than flannel socks and crap like that

12:42 pm

MollyL

I always appreciate the useful over the superfluous.

12:43 pm

rururocks

yes.. me too

12:43 pm

rururocks

hope everyone had a good holiday...

6:00 pm

MollyL

Oh no, just an apple pie : D

6:02 pm

rururocks

Apple pie doesn't count :D

6:02 pm

Jillyjill

Hello babbleworld!

6:03 pm

rururocks

hello jj

6:04 pm

rururocks

I left behind the delicious mashed potatoes and stuffing and ham and turkey and yams etc. Apple pie is another story.. :D

6:04 pm

Jillyjill

Belated Thanksgiving wishes to all!

6:04 pm

Jillyjill

Our Thanksgiving tradition for more than 20 years is that my family and my best friend

6:04 pm

MollyL

Oh wow. I'm impressed with anyone who does a ham AND a turkey. That is a lot of cooking.

6:05 pm

rururocks

she went all out.. it was pretty damn good too

6:05 pm

Jillyjill

best friends family meet to potluck the day. Then we come to my house in the next several nights to eat leftovers

6:05 pm

rururocks

I saw some great left over recipes on MSN jilly

6:06 pm

MollyL

My philosophy is that anyone who spends days cooking Thanksgiving deserves a day at the spa the Friday after.

6:06 pm

Jillyjill

That

6:06 pm

Jillyjill

dang it all

6:06 pm

Jillyjill

that is why my friend and family get together. Quite the feast but no woman has to cook it all

6:10 pm

rururocks

good call Molly

6:10 pm

rururocks

it really is a lot of work

6:11 pm

Jillyjill

That it is ruru...

6:16 pm

MimiCat

OMG, for over two decades I did Thanksgiving dinner for a family of five with NO help. Then had to do the dishes! I'm DONE. Now some Thanksgivings are at my son's but yesterday I made a little turkey breast for myself with some sides....SO glad to now have to do all that anymore!

6:16 pm

MimiCat

not have to do

6:17 pm

rururocks

I cooked for my wife's side of the family for many many years.. without help.. it's a load.. especially the clean up.. something about Thanksgiving uses a ton of stuff in the kitchen

6:18 pm

Jillyjill

I never minded when I was younger, but my hubby has always done the dishes. I miss the gathering of family...but do like it better now.

6:19 pm

Jillyjill

But it's sort of bittersweet now with my friends and my family having grown up and moved away. Much less people.

6:19 pm

MimiCat

I must admit I'm my own worst enemy as far as cooking. I like things done a certain way and I seem to be the only one who can achieve it so no one COULD help me.

6:20 pm

rururocks

in my case I was a better cook than anyone else and I got the burden laid on me.. that's why yesterday was so special. I only made one thing..

6:21 pm

MimiCat

Absolutely (ruru).. I must humbly admit I'm one of the best cooks as well.

6:22 pm

Jillyjill

I have always brought the infamous green bean cassarole. But hubby bought too many mushrooms and so I tried a 'from scratch' recipe this year. It was wonderful!

6:22 pm

rururocks

I learned a nice trick with the turkey from a friend.. to cook the turkey breast down for an hour and a half and then flip it to finish

6:22 pm

rururocks

it comes out moister that way

6:23 pm

MimiCat

Ruru, I have always made the turkey that way! Keeps it so moist. And, Jilly, try using Golden Mushroom soup instead of cream of mushroom...much more flavorful.

6:23 pm

Jillyjill

I also tried a new thing with mine too ruru. I separated the breast skin and inserted a herb butter. It also kept the breast very moist, I roast too big a bird for flipping it.

6:24 pm

rururocks

yeah.. it really mad a big difference when I last cooked a turkey

6:24 pm

Jillyjill

I like my homemade one, but that is how I make the soup one as well. I heartily agree mimi

6:24 pm

rururocks

made.. a big difference .. sorry

6:25 pm

MimiCat

Yes, Jilly, that's a great way to add flavor and moisture. Try using Celtic sea salt...I use it for everything now...so much flavor but less sodium and really good for you.

6:25 pm

Jillyjill

But was glad hubby was asleep as I was arm deep under the skin spreading out that butter! What a sight that must have been.

6:25 pm

rururocks

I'm enjoying a very unusual wine right now

6:25 pm

Jillyjill

Do tell ruru!!

6:25 pm

rururocks

it's a grape I've never had before called Passerina

6:26 pm

Jillyjill

What vineyard?

6:26 pm

MimiCat

Another good trick is to use Knorr condensed "gel" stock. Just lay it on top of either turkey or chicken and it kind of melts over the bird.

6:26 pm

Jillyjill

I am gaining a taste for reds

6:26 pm

rururocks

it's called Abbazzia de Propezzanno Paserina Anfora

6:26 pm

Jillyjill

$$$???

6:27 pm

MimiCat

Just love finding new wines. I did more of that when I lived in California, though. Had a different lifestyle.

6:27 pm

rururocks

passerina juice aged in clay amphoras.. it's pretty damn good

6:27 pm

rururocks

It's about $36 jilly

6:28 pm

Jillyjill

That's not bad...probably can't get it up here in the frozen wilderness

6:28 pm

rururocks

I doubt it

6:28 pm

rururocks

I am going to have it with roasted pepper and tomato/basil soup

6:28 pm

rururocks

and grilled cheese quesadillas

6:29 pm

Jillyjill

Just going to have to visit you ruru! LOL

6:29 pm

rururocks

homemade by the way

6:29 pm

Jillyjill

My hubby loves leftover turkey, so we are having leftovers.

6:29 pm

rururocks

with canned tomatoes from the summer

6:29 pm

Jillyjill

I love homemade tomatoe soups!

6:30 pm

rururocks

leftovers are wonderful.. jilly.. no shame there

6:30 pm

MimiCat

Jilly...I feel a road trip coming on for you and me to go visit ruru!!!

6:31 pm

MimiCat

I prefer leftovers with most Italian food...just so much better when the flavors get really acquainted.

6:31 pm

Jillyjill

Nope...LOL, I wouldn't have to cook a turkey with our potluck, but hubby HAS to have the leftovers and I like to boil the carcass down for broth.

6:31 pm

rururocks

oh.. second day lasagna is the BEST!

6:31 pm

MimiCat

My chicken paprikash is like that...I don't serve it until the next day.

6:31 pm

Jillyjill

Wouldn't that be fun mimi!

6:31 pm

rururocks

I haven't made a lasagna in a long time

6:32 pm

MimiCat

That would be SUCH a good time, Jilly!

6:32 pm

Jillyjill

I make my yams with rosemary cream sauce the day before. It is much better

6:32 pm

stidgmere

Hello all. We are also in the midst of left overs. But that is a reward of the meal well-cooked.

6:33 pm

MimiCat

We have an Italian place here, ruru, that makes great lasagna and their meatballs are the BEST!! Have look for decent meatballs in this town for 30 years and finally find them when I'm going to move next year!

6:33 pm

MimiCat

Gotta go feed cats and put leftovers in oven. Probably bbl. BTW, I'm thankful for all of you guys!!

6:33 pm

Jillyjill

And we are heading into deep winter weather tonight. I detest the snow,rain,freeze, warm, then bitterly cold

6:34 pm

rururocks

going to rain here tonight

6:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

with 7 boys aged 14 to 23, there are no leftovers...we were looking ofr holes in the table cloth

6:34 pm

Jillyjill

We <3 you too mimi!

6:34 pm

rururocks

booooooh

6:34 pm

MimiCat

Rain....sigh...

6:34 pm

rururocks

I took two walks with the dog already.. so he's exercised

6:35 pm

Dorens

i heard there was an earthquake again in Napa last night. So glad it wasn't a big one

6:35 pm

rururocks

really?... I didn't feel it.. I was dead to the world however

6:35 pm

welki

6:35 pm

Jillyjill

*waves hello/goodbye to stidg!

6:36 pm

welki

6:36 pm

Dorens

laying low. find out on Monday how all these meds are working... Otherwise it's the hospital. But I'm sure they are

6:37 pm

welki

ut oh - doren, you're not well?

6:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

carved half a turkey for the boys table and they found and decoured the other half!

6:37 pm

Dorens

bad bout of COPD, but it is most likely under control now

6:37 pm

Dorens

i've been in heavy denial

6:38 pm

stidgmere

Dinner is important, too. Hope you are getting stronger!

6:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry to hear that,doren.

6:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

that is a bad business.

6:38 pm

Dorens

oh lord, the amount of prednisone I've been on.. raging hunger!

6:38 pm

welki

egads - they have you on symbicort, ventalin, all that stuff?

6:38 pm

rururocks

are you talking now with an Austrian accent now Doren?

6:39 pm

Dorens

oh please.... you name it. The latest is a nebulizer, and it seems to be making some headway.

6:40 pm

welki

aside from the good medicine, nebulizers force you to sit for a few minutes

6:41 pm

welki

daughter's on the way, must head out - g'night everyone

6:41 pm

rururocks

night

6:41 pm

Dorens

ventalin, advair, tudorza, heavy duty antibiotic, and now duoneb. + guafinesin, hycodan, and vicodin for the very sore shoulder I had and flexeril for the shoulder and ceflex for the stitches i had to get in my hand when i stupidly cut myself last tuesday.

6:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

night, welk

6:41 pm

rururocks

wow you are a walking pharmacy

6:42 pm

Dorens

night welki.

6:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh dear. did your family come over and cook for you, or did you have to bag thanksgiving.

6:42 pm

Dorens

well, took the last ceflex today... quit the vicodin severyal days ago... think i'm almost done needing the flexeril

6:43 pm

Dorens

they ended up here... were supposed to be at rachels new apartment in Brooklyn but I nixed that. they helped a lot, but I was flying on the prednisone yesterday and running around doing much more than i should have. it WAS delicious though, i must say

6:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

glad to hear that you were not alone. we were up at the lake again.

6:45 pm

rururocks

you can send the leftovers out here doren

6:46 pm

Nef

Good Evening Everyone.

6:47 pm

rururocks

hi nef

6:47 pm

Bugsaw

hello friends. just coming in for the last ones

6:47 pm

stidgmere

Hello Nef. Happy to see you on the chog this evening.

6:47 pm

Nef

Dorens, sorry to hear that you're having troubles; but it looks like you have the right meds to fix anything there! ;-)

6:47 pm

Dorens

i sent most of them home with the kids... jeremy and family went to spend the weekend at Rachel's. And I've eaten well today. TUrkey soup to make tomorrow and also turkey/cauliflower casserole for tomorrow's dinner

6:47 pm

Bugsaw

Dorens, I sure hope you feel well soon. COPD is hard work.

6:47 pm

Dorens

thanks nef... i think that's true

6:47 pm

Dorens

and thanks also bugs.

6:49 pm

Nef

Hi Bugsd, stidg, ruru, Dorens, TO and everyone not chatting

6:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi, nef.

6:50 pm

rururocks

hello neffers

6:50 pm

Bugsaw

love your icon TO!

6:50 pm

Nef

COPD is tough! And the steroids can drive a person nuts; so I understand the bit about flying around overdoing it

6:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi, gmere.

6:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

gtg, feeling restless. happy babbling

6:51 pm

Nef

Bye, TO! stay well!

6:52 pm

Dorens

yeah, kind of funny that I'm supposed to rest, and feel like I need a straitjacket. I'm doing things I'm normally much too inert to do... Love the energy.
bye owl

6:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

bye, doren, hope you heal quickly, wihou hospitalization.

6:54 pm

Nef

Just be ready for when they start tapering the prednisone. Between DH and myself, we've described it as major PMS. If someone even looks at you wrong, you want to scratch their eyeballs out (DH's description)

6:56 pm

rururocks

wow

6:57 pm

Nef

(maybe I should preface that statement by the fact that they really hit DH with high doses of steroids to prevent the MS relapses)

6:58 pm

rururocks

I didn't realize cortisone had THAT much effect on people

6:58 pm

rururocks

my aunt was on high doses of cortisone for her life due to asthma

6:59 pm

rururocks

maybe my mother could have used massive doses of Cortisone :D

6:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

it wreaks havoc on bones

6:59 pm

rururocks

done yet doren?

6:59 pm

Nef

steroids do, ruru. That's why they talk about athletes who use them illegally have steroid rages

7:00 pm

rururocks

yeah.. I've heard about that nef

7:00 pm

lorena_k

toat

7:00 pm

rururocks

the new year lorena?

7:00 pm

lorena_k

oops

7:00 pm

rururocks

or a frog in your toat?

7:00 pm

Nef

not a word, lorena

7:01 pm

rururocks

:D

7:01 pm

rururocks

doreeeeeeeennnnn?

7:01 pm

Nef

You're safe, you can come out and chat! ;-)

7:02 pm

stidgmere

Noticing I still have 62 words left. Need to focus on the grid.

7:04 pm

rururocks

i'm going to lie down for a bit.. I'm a little tired. Have fun all

7:05 pm

Nef

I started just a few minutes before I first chatted; I only have 85 words left now. Maybe I should focus on the grid too now.

7:06 pm

Dorens

sorry.. ran into the kitchen

7:06 pm

Dorens

sorry.. ran into the kitchen

7:23 pm

stidgmere

Noticing I have 24 words left.

7:29 pm

Bugsaw

upis

7:29 pm

Bugsaw

oops. sorry folks

7:30 pm

Nef

well, it wasn't a word, so you're safe! ;-)

7:33 pm

Nef

I have 54 words left and just realized I still don't have any 7 letter words.

7:34 pm

Bugsaw

thanks Nef. I left on a food hunt and didn't check where the cursor was. Some people get quite affronted apparently.

7:34 pm

stidgmere

Noticing I have 13 words left. Now trying all combinations of letters. Monekys are doing very well today for me.

7:35 pm

Nef

WTG, stidg!

7:37 pm

Nef

(I need to stop trying to chat in the WORD box!)

7:38 pm

Bugsaw

lool

7:39 pm

Nef

Bugs, this is a GAME to me. I like to come here to relax, occasionally chat with people who I've "known" through this game. If someone is taking it too seriously; then They aren't any fun and they must have a dreary life

7:40 pm

Nef

I try not to chat when those types are on; I shove the chat log off so I can't see it for my own sense of control

7:41 pm

Bugsaw

I agree Nef but sometimes I just get tired of offending people who feel the need to tell me they are offended.

7:41 pm

Bugsaw

what a great idea! I should do that too. Just never thought of it.

7:42 pm

Nef

I hear you; but wouldn't it be nice to just tell them to put a sock in it and PLAY the game?

7:42 pm

Scrabbler

Hahaha. I agree with you, Bugsaw and Nef. This is a game, a place to relax, unwind, escape from life, and chat with cyberfriends.

7:42 pm

Nef

:-D

7:42 pm

Nef

Hi Scrabs. you are 100% correct! :-)

7:43 pm

stidgmere

This isn't real? Darn. I thought I met some really cool, real people but illusions are always nice too. I have the illusion of fitting into really small sizes of clothes. Not going to happen anytime soon.

7:43 pm

Scrabbler

But, as in real life, some egos are searching for power and control.

7:43 pm

Bugsaw

HI Scrabs. I must say you are so patient when people ask for free medical advice.

7:44 pm

Bugsaw

and you are right too gmere. Most of the people here are wonderful and caring souls.

7:44 pm

Nef

LOL, stidg! I have the same illusion! ;-)

7:44 pm

Scrabbler

I want to help people negotiate the medical world and avoid unnecessary medical care or tests. It can be dangerous to be a patient and one must educate onself and be a self-advocate.

7:45 pm

stidgmere

Hi Scrabbs. Saw your relatives yesterday and they seem to be doing very well in real life.

7:45 pm

Nef

Scrabs, there must be some way to not allow them either the power or the control.

7:45 pm

Scrabbler

Nice, stidgmere

7:45 pm

Scrabbler

I ignore the meanies, both here and in life.

7:46 pm

Nef

I agree with you about the medical field, Scrabs. I find that now-a-days dealing with health issues is pretty darn scary and a person needs someone to advocate for them

7:47 pm

Scrabbler

I want to be an advocate for people because I know the problems as an insider.

7:48 pm

stidgmere

Well, with 6 left I think I'll fix some left overs and enjoy the evening. Always great to see you. What a good way to end the day. Keep up your spirits and remember, You have the power when you include others.

7:48 pm

Nef

Wouldn't it be nice to ignore most of the irritation-causing people in real life? <dreaming of ignoring things such as the ticket I got the other dayâ€¦>

7:48 pm

Bugsaw

wise words as always gmere. Please give my regards to M. Gmere

7:49 pm

Nef

niters, stidg. Take care of yourself!

7:54 pm

Bugsaw

Nef do you have the as 6 word yet? I could use some help with it

7:56 pm

torgone

Fancy neckwear ..

7:56 pm

Scrabbler

TY, torgone

7:57 pm

Bugsaw

for Pete's sake. Thanks Torgone I needed the plural!

Sorry, Bugs, I didn't have it either. Thanks forgone for the clue!

7:59 pm

Bugsaw

it ends with the "belief" ending.

7:59 pm

Nef

last 3 letters mean belief (I think)

8:00 pm

Scrabbler

Ah, I had tried truist

8:00 pm

nik13

clue for last ap5/14 plz

8:00 pm

Bugsaw

I even tried truish even though it was such an obvious oxymoron

8:01 pm

Scrabbler

I tried that one too, Bugsaw.

8:01 pm

Nef

I find that some non-words that I monkey these days are really ingrained in my mind. I'm down right positive that they MUST be Words because I've tried them so often!

8:02 pm

Scrabbler

nik--sort of acting like a chimp

8:02 pm

Nef

sorry, nik, I don't have it but will now look

8:02 pm

Scrabbler

Me too, Nef.

Hello again babbleworld! Hi scrabs, nef and bugs

8:04 pm

It's like I think "Hipa" HAS to be a Word.

8:04 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Jill

Nef

Hi Jilly; How are you doing?

8:05 pm

Bugsaw

HI Jilly. How are you and yours this fine day? I hope you are all well

8:11 pm

Nef

Thanks Bugs.

Nef

And also Jill

8:12 pm

Bugsaw

the trickiest one is sc 5,22. It ends in the abbreviation for Washington

8:14 pm

Nef

well, at least it isn't a plural, Bugs

8:14 pm

Scrabbler

TY, that is exactly the word I was on!

8:15 pm

Bugsaw

glad to help Scrabs

8:16 pm

Scrabbler

Done.

8:19 pm

Nef

I have 32 left, Bugs, but I need to get the grandson to bed; so don't hang around for my sake

8:19 pm

Scrabbler

And I am ready for bed. I've been sick since Sunday--laryngitis and cough. Not much of a voice since Monday night. Very tired too.

8:19 pm

Scrabbler

See you tomorrow, kiddos.

8:19 pm

How about you? How are you doing and how was your Thanksgiving?

Minveryork

I had a nice Thanksgiving in Connecticut with my S-I-L and her family. Only bad thing was I had no internet yesterday so no babbling for me when I got back from S-I-L's house.

9:34 pm

Nef

I'm glad you had a good day with family; what happened with the internet connection though?

9:35 pm

Minveryork

Nef, I typed "Peruvian Brandy" into Reverse Dictionary and the closest thing to letters in grid was "pichi" which isn't in the grid. Can I please have another clue for that pi 5/14?

Minveryork

I got 8 inches of wet heavy snow and there was an outage.
