Lizlin

Have you had a good day, Rose?

1:30 am

1:30 am

VolleymomDee

fireworks

1:30 am

Lizlin

Congrats, Dee :)

1:31 am

grannyrose

WTG DEE!!!

1:31 am

Lizlin

Sounds lovely, Rose. It's been like winter up here but the sun's finally coming out.

1:31 am

VolleymomDee

ty, rose. What a nice visit you must have had!!

1:32 am

grannyrose

dee, liz, claudia is such a delight. she had been to ballet...omg....i didn't know that they made ballet slippers that small.

1:33 am

grannyrose

and son was pr5ly showing off his man-cave..

1:33 am

Lizlin

That must've been so cute and of course extra special because of your love of ballet.

1:33 am

VolleymomDee

LOL... precious

1:33 am

grannyrose

* ear-to-ear cheesy grin* yup

1:34 am

Lizlin

Achy jaw muscles tonight

1:34 am

grannyrose

*chuckling* yup, but in a good cause.

1:35 am

grannyrose

son is going to send on a photo of her in her costume for her end of year concert which, unfortunately, was held while we were away.

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

perhaps someone took a video and some photos

1:37 am

grannyrose

liz, you would appreciate this, knowing don's scottish background. he has just realised how much we can save on the utilities etc if everything is in my name. he is frantically going through all the accounts to see how much we can save.

1:38 am

grannyrose

dee, they did. dvd will be released a little later this year

1:38 am

Lizlin

Aw! Stereotyping again!!!! But any way to save money sounds good!

1:38 am

grannyrose

i told you his latin name, didn't i?

1:39 am

Lizlin

Don't think so.

1:39 am

grannyrose

tite-asa fishus arsis

1:40 am

Lizlin

lolol :)

1:40 am

Lizlin

Or even titus afishusarsis

1:40 am

grannyrose

thought that would make you smile

1:41 am

Lizlin

Certainly did!

1:41 am

grannyrose

well, yeah, but it may have been a tad difficult to read, unless you understood the gist of it

1:41 am

VolleymomDee

well, all, I am off til the morrow... super busy day tomorrow. Hope you both have a lovely eve / day!!

1:41 am

Lizlin

Was telling hubby about the salubrious pub he booked for you to stay in!!! He said, number 1 rule - own bathroom!

1:42 am

Lizlin

Sleep well, Dee. Hugs.

1:42 am

grannyrose

when i typed it your way, ruru couldn't work it out, but then he was very ti4d that night.

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

ty, liz, you, too ((((liz))) ((((rose0)))

1:42 am

grannyrose

sweet dreams, my dear. xoxox

1:42 am

Lizlin

I'm sure if he'd been awake, he'd have read it - no problem.

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

xo

1:43 am

grannyrose

did your hubby have a chuckle?

1:43 am

grannyrose

don did exactly the same thing for our wedding night.

1:44 am

Lizlin

Yup.

1:44 am

Lizlin

You're joking! And you still married him!!!

1:44 am

grannyrose

he has been apologising ever since, even when all i did was fall on the bed, laughing my head off.

1:45 am

Lizlin

Hubby did the same - just once! Surprise weekend in Maldon (where Maldon salts come from). No space to swing a cat in the room - no mirror in room or bathroom and breakfast, which we walked out of before having it, was like a scene out of Fawlty Towers.

1:46 am

Lizlin

Down to the chef running after our car, shouting, I can make your breakfast now!

1:46 am

grannyrose

we spent every afternoon of where we stopped for the night, running into the room to check out the colour of the blankets

1:47 am

Lizlin

At least there was light to see the colour!

1:47 am

Lizlin

Want to find 2 more words before I list.

1:47 am

grannyrose

true.....even if it was a bare bulb in the ceiling only...

1:48 am

Lizlin

There are really some cr** places around. Don't know how they get away with it. Still, most important is that it's clean.

1:55 am

Lizlin

cy 7 pls?

1:56 am

grannyrose

my bro's wife was telling me that when they went overseas she did ALL the accommodation bookings. she said she had the most wonderful holiday....lol

1:56 am

Lizlin

I did ours in the UK too - lovely b & bs.

1:56 am

grannyrose

first cy4, + spanish aunt

1:56 am

Lizlin

I've done NZ too.

1:56 am

Lizlin

That worked! Thanks.

1:57 am

Lizlin

But though I find the accommodation, I don't book unless he likes it too. Real partnership :)

1:57 am

grannyrose

i am thinking when we go back to NZ, we will hire a camper van. we only want to meander around the north island.

1:58 am

Lizlin

We've book a fly/drive. The south island appeals more to us but we're spending time in both but a narrower itinerary in the north.

1:59 am

Lizlin

I'll tell you more about it by email, when we do it.

1:59 am

grannyrose

will look forward to it, liz

2:02 am

Lizlin

Better grid than the last one. Still too many vowels.

2:03 am

grannyrose

strange isn't it? throw a few more consonants into the mix, and the grid is so much better

2:04 am

Lizlin

Help with in 7/8 pls. I guess it's a compound but not seeing it.

2:05 am

grannyrose

add an extra vowel to the resident doctor

2:06 am

Lizlin

Thanks - had the birds with that pattern - didn't think of applying it here.

2:06 am

Lizlin

That's the problem for me with the larger grids - I stop seeing words.

2:12 am

Lizlin

Taking a break. BBL. Hugs, Rose.

2:13 am

grannyrose

cyu later, hin

3:10 am

Angelsong

hi, all. lovely grid! I had a new experience yesterday. I decided to color my hair, and it turned out beautifully. I feel so much better!

3:25 am

grannyrose

ohhhh, angel. could you post a photo? what colour did you decide to be?

3:26 am

grannyrose

ugh....angel has logged off. never mind! i will try to catch her tomorrow morning.

3:46 am

grannyrose

sprite??? will keep checking in to see if you are here...xoxox

4:14 am

rubyfoo

hello. yesterday was not a good day but maybe today will be better

4:15 am

grannyrose

awww, my dearest ruby. xoxox my darling. what happened?

4:15 am

rubyfoo

It was just bad all around ad I got an enormous additional tax bill, far more than we can pay. It's like a sick joke

4:16 am

grannyrose

oh, my darling...can you organise to pay it off in installments?

4:17 am

rubyfoo

we are already paying $633/month and that will only take561 years and that's not including what came yesterday

4:18 am

grannyrose

lolol....then it won't be your problem, ruby.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

but when I get these additional letters,it really makes me crazy

4:22 am

grannyrose

ruby, let it go, sweetie. it is not your problem...relax, and breath deeply.

4:23 am

rubyfoo

except they keep making awful threats

4:23 am

rubyfoo

rites

4:23 am

rubyfoo

sorry

4:23 am

grannyrose

lovely ruby...let them threaten...they cannot collect.

4:29 am

grannyrose

bbl, dinner ready

4:30 am

rubyfoo

bon appetite, mon amie!

4:59 am

grannyrose

aaaahh!! dinner consumed. and thoroughly enjoyed. lasagne...one of my fave's...so long as it contains pa5. almost 10pm....xoxox sprite....hopefully will catch you at the next flip.

Hi Sprite and Crossy and all :)

5:52 am

sukee

Good morning.

5:53 am

sprite

hey Liz and sukee *hugs*

5:53 am

Lizlin

How are you today, Sprite?

5:53 am

Lizlin

Hi sukee :)

5:54 am

sprite

still sore. Ready to throw this body away and order me a new one :)
How about you and your husband and your house?

5:55 am

Lizlin

We're fine. Dining room now finished. Time to start on the hole in the lounge ceiling :) The lounge will be a huge job.

5:55 am

Lizlin

Sorry the body's still sore. Hope you've got a restful weekend in front of you.

5:56 am

sprite

yes I have, not much more than laundry and Terra. Good luck with the lounge!

5:57 am

Lizlin

Probably won't start til Monday at the earliest. Tomorrow's house clean day and we're out in the afternoon - nothing exciting but possibly a chance to catch up with a few friends, depending on who turns up.

5:57 am

sprite

sounds good, Liz

5:58 am

Lizlin

Perhaps - more of a duty thing but like I said, it depends who turns up!

5:58 am

Lizlin

rone

5:59 am

Lizlin

Sorry - not a word anyway

5:59 am

sprite

no. Bad girl.

6:00 am

sprite

I have a new one for the babble dictionary. Pa6t - ask forgiveness for something you didn't do. Like giving away a freebie!

6:00 am

Lizlin

You can speak!!!! Your dog's in the grid!!!

6:00 am

Lizlin

lol - good one!

6:00 am

sprite

ohhhhhh *shamefaced* Um yeah... um... I beg your pa6t...

6:00 am

Lizlin

;)

6:01 am

Lizlin

is is still so cold in the Netherlands?

6:02 am

sprite

it seems to have leveled out somewhat. Not as icy.

6:02 am

Lizlin

Turned cold here (relatively speaking) yesterday and today but it won't stay this way for long. Really hot and no doubt humid forecast for Tuesday.

6:03 am

sprite

why no doubt?

6:04 am

Lizlin

I guess because it's a bit stormy at the moment and it's been humid! Relief yesterday and today not to be sweaty.

6:04 am

sprite

yeah I would really dislike living somewhere hot and humid. Wears me down to nothing.

6:05 am

Lizlin

I've almost finished the Last Herald Mage!

6:05 am

Lizlin

We have perhaps a month of humidity over the summer - but not all at once.

6:05 am

sprite

oh wow :) Van is a darling, isn't he... but so troubled.

6:06 am

sprite

a month is doable. We usually have that here as well. Probably not as hot but I guess just as humid.

6:06 am

Lizlin

Very true. I love all the characters. But I know there's a sad ending coming :(

6:06 am

sprite

yeah :( But you know Lackey by now... trust her to not make you feel rotten at the end of the book.

6:07 am

Lizlin

Of course - and I know how Van will come back later on.

6:07 am

sprite

:D

6:07 am

rubyfoo

hello, anybody here?

6:08 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs Ruby. Sorry to read that the US govt is still giving you such a ridiculously hard time.

6:08 am

rubyfoo

aah, I never know what time it is until I come into the chog

6:08 am

sprite

no, it is just our spirits who are chatting here, ruby dear

6:08 am

rubyfoo

I'm better today, but really had a bad day yesterday

6:09 am

sprite

*hugs ruby*

6:09 am

Lizlin

Glad that today's better. How are Rafie's eyes?

6:09 am

rubyfoo

She is letting me put the ointment in and she is starting to heal, I think. She will be gorgeous once she heals.

6:10 am

sprite

good to hear

6:10 am

rubyfoo

she is really a lovely dog

6:10 am

Lizlin

If you get a moment, I'd love to see a pic of the newly shorn and eyelash fluttering dog.

6:11 am

Lizlin

Just found my last 8. I'd missed a plural :(

6:11 am

sprite

lol. I still need 7 more! Am slow as usual with the biggies.

6:12 am

rubyfoo

she's not doing a lot of fluttering yet, but looks very different with squinty eyes. And the vet cut out the huge, moist clumps of fur that had accumulated in her wet neck.

6:12 am

Lizlin

Yeah but I babbled for a while earlier on.

6:12 am

rubyfoo

Unfortunately, she hacked off the "yak" fur on the back end, so I'll have to work on fixing that

6:12 am

Lizlin

Bet she feels much better for all that.

6:12 am

rubyfoo

I have no biggies or even nbt.

6:13 am

rubyfoo

It's funny, because that's what DIL said. But I don't think the pup even noticed, just is glad to be home

6:13 am

Lizlin

That I'm sure of.

6:15 am

rubyfoo

Although Raffie is pretty smart for a chow, I| don't think she does a lot of "thinking". |It's all just intuitive.

6:15 am

rubyfoo

Rufe, however, who is less smart, is the all-time-best cuddler. Unfortunately, he tries to lick her stitches and I can't dissuade him(or separate them)

6:16 am

Lizlin

Sounds like they're good friends.

6:16 am

Lizlin

Love cuddly dogs.

6:16 am

rubyfoo

I think they ove eCH OTHER AND SLEEP SIDE-BY-SIDE, SOMETIMES EVEN TOUCHING

6:16 am

rubyfoo

whoops, errant pinkie strikes again

6:17 am

Lizlin

Really cute. I love the dog pic you sent.

6:17 am

rubyfoo

But think about an 80+ lbs cuddly dog, especially when he gets on my lap

6:17 am

Lizlin

pics!

6:17 am

Lizlin

I saw the pic of one of the dogs swamping you :)

6:18 am

rubyfoo

and that's when he was 3 months' old!

6:18 am

sukee

A Facebook friend of mine has a Great Dane who thinks he is a lap dog.

6:18 am

Lizlin

That's another big dog to have as a lap dog.

6:18 am

rubyfoo

I can picture that, Sukee.

6:19 am

Lizlin

I'm giving up for tonight. 35 left for tomorrow. Enjoy your days, everyone. Hugs

6:19 am

sprite

woopie got the 9

6:19 am

sukee

night.

6:19 am

sprite

bye Liz, sleep well, hugs for you both.

6:20 am

rubyfoo

{{liz}} I hope you don't mind beiginundated with pix, but DIL showed me how to do it and I have to keep practicing.

6:20 am

Lizlin

No probs, Ruby. They make me smile.

6:20 am

sprite

please send them to me as well, ruby

6:20 am

rubyfoo

will do, sprite

6:26 am

Hi! Lots of folks up and at it now!

6:26 am

sprite

so he is, ruby :)

6:31 am

mattygroves

I'm over halfway through without hints or list, but struggling now. I shall have to go to the list soon. If I only had the nine, I'd be nbt nbthingy

6:31 am

sprite

do you want a clue, matty?

6:32 am

mattygroves

Oh yes please (I'll tell myself that's not cheating as I've not yet gone to the list)... :)

6:32 am

sprite

it is not cheating at all :) The 9 are little Spanish misses.

6:32 am

MollyL

If getting clues is cheating, then 95% of the people here cheat

6:32 am

rubyfoo

I would love stats for the 8's and 9; at least I'd know where to look

6:33 am

sukee

Ty Molly

6:33 am

sukee

Um, I mean thank you Sprite :)

6:33 am

sprite

Atalante told me, when I was still a tiny babbler, that looking up the actual words is cheating... the rest is research!

6:33 am

mattygroves

Fabuloso - thankee kindly (which also gave me a whole load of Ss I was missing)

6:33 am

rubyfoo

and the SP mister, 3 for 1

6:33 am

rubyfoo

ty sprite

6:33 am

yvw sukee ;)

6:34 am

sprite

my pleasure

6:34 am

sukee

That gave me 5 words.

6:34 am

MollyL

"Research" covers so many things : D

6:34 am

sprite

it sure does :)

6:34 am

MollyL

I'm not stalking you, I'm doing "research"
: D

6:35 am

rubyfoo

"o your personal habits" (I think I watch too many police programs

6:35 am

sukee

I rarely search for words unless I'm down to the last 2 or 3 and am desperate.

6:37 am

sprite

and I don't use lists but try to find patterns in a2z. So many ways to play this game!

6:41 am

pippingeek

boy, just playing more frequently again my vocab has jumped back up and my ability to see words has skyrocketed. this really is so much about practice

6:41 am

Scrabbler

Another huge grid!

6:42 am

sprite

I totally agree, pippin

6:42 am

pippingeek

yes scrabs, you won't be bored all day!

6:42 am

sprite

hey Scrabs :) *hug*

6:42 am

Scrabbler

I have to go to work soon and see lots of sick kids--colds, coughs, sore throats, and anxious mamas.

6:43 am

sprite

awww :( You stay healthy, Scrabs

6:43 am

Scrabbler

Tomorrow is 3 wks since I started coughing.

6:44 am

pippingeek

oh dear scrabs

6:44 am

sprite

:(

6:44 am

Scrabbler

I am improving. I had laryngitis for one week.

6:44 am

sprite

*sends healing vibes to Scrabs*

6:45 am

Scrabbler

One of my partners has been ill with this too.

6:45 am

pippingeek

just keep on with the rest and fluids and healthy food/vite intake

6:45 am

Scrabbler

I feel ok mostly.

6:46 am

Scrabbler

Vitamin D is the superhero!

6:47 am

pippingeek

yay for vites! i live for my vitamin c, raw garlic, fresh juice, and homemade cough syrup with cider vinegar, honey, cayenne, ginger, and turmeric

6:47 am

sprite

oh, have been meaning to tell you, Scrabs... I always take vitD and still I have a severe deficiency. So low they couldn't measure it accurately. I now am to take vitD combined with calcium.

6:47 am

pippingeek

(it sounds gross but i quite like it)

6:47 am

Scrabbler

I started using an Advair inhaler and that has helped with the bronchospasm.

6:48 am

pippingeek

good. steroids scare me, but when you need them you need them

6:48 am

Scrabbler

I tried cider vinegar last year but couldn't drink it.

6:49 am

pippingeek

this is better because it's not just one thing, the honey helps

6:49 am

Scrabbler

LOng- term steroids = bad side effects. Short-term = beneficial!

6:49 am

pippingeek

well and i work in glaucoma, even short term steroids are scary for eye pressure, but that's not a normal environment

6:50 am

Scrabbler

My youngest sister has glaucoma and has had resistant iritis for 6 mo, so she needed to use Predforte eye drops short-term.

6:51 am

Scrabbler

Note to self: add an S to every word.

6:52 am

pippingeek

ugh, iritis can be terrible. yeah, sometimes the inflammation is a greater danger than the steroid response, and it depends on where people are at with the disease progression and the pressure and all that

6:52 am

pippingeek

absolutely, scrabs, i have noticed that today

6:52 am

pippingeek

and toward the bottom try an er combo too

6:53 am

Scrabbler

My sister has normal-pressure glaucoma so it is now thought that the iritis triggered glaucoma. Anyway, a month of systemic NSAID treatment with Voltaren has gotten rid of the iritis as of Thursday.

6:54 am

sprite

am glad to hear that, Scrabs. Hope she will recover fully.

6:54 am

Scrabbler

But the COX inhibitors/NSAIDS have bad side effects.

6:54 am

Scrabbler

I started to type en5 into the chatlog.

6:55 am

pippingeek

it's true, it seems like there's no treatment that doesn't mess with you long term

6:55 am

Scrabbler

I told her to read about an antiinflammatory diet.

6:57 am

Scrabbler

Well, I found 80 and must get ready for work. I have to leave in 15 min.

6:57 am

bichon

I had my microwave for 28 and 1/2 years and it died yesterday (((

7:43 am

pippingeek

my mother actually has an entire convent praying for me, it's very sweet. still working and studying hard, trying to make the thing happen

7:43 am

Anniebrook

geek, Oh good luck! You would be an asset anywhere.

7:44 am

Anniebrook

RIP

7:44 am

pippingeek

so sad, bichon! the good news is now they are much smaller, cheaper, and faster

7:45 am

zoozzoom

Wow thought mine was a long time of 17 years, Bichon.Mine has a long way to beat your record.Still going strong though :-)

7:45 am

bichon

Yes, I imagine in that span of time a lot has happened. It won't come til Mon. How can I live without one til then?

7:45 am

MollyL

I have entire convents praying for me too, but for different reasons : )

7:46 am

bichon

LOL Molly

7:46 am

pippingeek

that's because you have a lot more fun that we do molly

7:46 am

MollyL

Mis-spent youth : D

7:46 am

bichon

Were you a holy terror?

7:47 am

zoozzoom

lol

7:48 am

MollyL

Holy terror? Well the nuns that taught me would tell you I was.

7:48 am

pippingeek

terror, yes, but there was nothing holy about it

7:49 am

pippingeek

(is what i imagine they would say)

7:49 am

zoozzoom

Could never imagine, Molly being a little terror :-)

7:51 am

zoozzoom

Yay below the 100 mark now!

7:51 am

pippingeek

it's certainly what they would have said about me had i been as self-possessed as a child as i am now

7:51 am

pippingeek

nicely done zzoom!

7:52 am

zoozzoom

Thanks! just need to find the other 99 now..lol

7:52 am

pippingeek

i was far too cowed by my parents to misbehave anywhere near as much as i wanted, but it was always in my head

7:53 am

bichon

I had my moments, but over all, I was pretty tame

7:54 am

zoozzoom

I had to be in bed by 6pm up untill I was fourteen.It was silly.there were kids about 7 outside playing when I had to goto bed..lol

7:55 am

bichon

Wow, that is strict. Doubt that would happen in today's world

7:56 am

pippingeek

that's more strict than us, wow. we were up later than that because we had to have time for dinner and homework after nightly swim practice, but bed was early early

7:57 am

pippingeek

and when we were out playing dad would call us in by blowing on his boatswain's whistle, which you could hear throughout the neighborhood, and we had to stop whatever we were doing and go home right away

7:57 am

Anniebrook

geek, if you were in bed by 6, what time was dinner served

7:58 am

bichon

and what time did you wake up?

7:58 am

zoozzoom

Dinner was always at 4pm

7:58 am

pippingeek

got up every day at 6am (often to the sound of dad blowing reveille on a bugle) and did situps and pushups together as a family in my parents' bedroom

7:58 am

zoozzoom

I woke up about 6am

7:59 am

pippingeek

military families are weird

7:59 am

zoozzoom

Gosh sounds like a strict excercise regime!

7:59 am

bichon

You slept for 12 hours? That's a lot of sleep for an older child

8:00 am

pippingeek

i will say i was in amazing shape as a kid. i could do situps and pushups for days, and won the under-12 age group in a 10-k race when i was 7

8:00 am

zoozzoom

Nothing else to do, Bichon..had no TV in the bedroom...Did read books though.Which I still enjoy!

8:00 am

Anniebrook

I was confused. Zooz was in bed by 6pm. zooz, was yours a military family?

8:01 am

pippingeek

zooz got 12 hours of sleep, mine was the military family

8:02 am

zoozzoom

No i think as my mother had six of us..She was just knackered and tried to balance everything out untill my step-dad came along :-)

8:02 am

Anniebrook

geek, were you brought up on a military base?

8:02 am

pippingeek

we moved a lot, but i lived on a couple

8:03 am

Anniebrook

zooz, and then, after your step-dad came along??

8:03 am

zoozzoom

Wow just read your won a 10k race at 7. that is really good, pip!

8:04 am

zoozzoom

Stayed up untill about 10:30pm, Annie.He said it is daft keeping a teenager in his bedroom at such an early time.

8:05 am

zoozzoom

I still love my parents though :-)

8:05 am

Anniebrook

Good for him! and you, of course.

8:05 am

pippingeek

they do crazy things, but they love us the only way they know how, and they try to make a good life for us

8:06 am

zoozzoom

Ditto, Pip!

8:06 am

Anniebrook

8:07 am

As a teen I WANTED to go to my room that was where all the books were and my little transistor radio:))

8:07 am

pippingeek

i went through my time of hating my folks, and things are still tough with my dad, because he's just tough to love, but my mum and i are actually incredibly close now, like we talk almost daily and we're probably one another's closest friends now

8:10 am

zoozzoom

ooh I could do with a mushroom & cheese omelette, Crossy yum yum!

8:10 am

crosshair

bacon is too expensive at the moment:((

8:11 am

zoozzoom

Not just two slices from the butcher?

8:11 am

crosshair

I refuse to pay $6 for 3/4 of a pound of bacon:(

8:11 am

crosshair

two slices is just a tease

8:11 am

pippingeek

ouch, that is terrible

8:11 am

zoozzoom

Sounds about the same price as here.

8:12 am

pippingeek

now i am hungry. crossy always makes me hungry

8:12 am

crosshair

1 year ago it used to be $3 for just over a pound, about 500g

8:12 am

pippingeek

even when you're not actively talking about food, you just make me think of food, it's downright pavlovian

8:12 am

zoozzoom

I know he does coo some amazing foods and then decides to tell us all about it..lol

8:13 am

zoozzoom

8:14 am

8:16 am

MollyL

With all the bad publicity margarine has gotten, I'm surprised anyone still uses it. Or those "butter substitutes" which are as bad or worse.

8:17 am

crosshair

Yup. Butter is back!

8:17 am

MLFAN17

ty zooz

8:17 am

zoozzoom

Tried that ' I can't believe it's not butter' once...Disgusting stuff.

8:17 am

crosshair

it is half water, zooz. I end up with soggy toast whn I use that stuff

8:18 am

zoozzoom

Threw it away, Crossy.Just the once used was enough for me.

8:19 am

crosshair

I have an antique "Beater-jar" and when the mood strike me, I make my own butter

8:19 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Mlf.

8:19 am

8:19 am

Matches

8:19 am

zoozzoom

Welcome, Matches :-)

8:19 am

MollyL

And hey, read the ingredients on "Smart Balance" and tell me how "smart" that is.

8:20 am

zoozzoom

8:21 am

crosshair

franken*

8:21 am

crosshair

grains genetically created in a Petri dish:(

8:21 am

pippingeek

8:22 am

crosshair

sounds interesting, but my heart stopped at the thhough of spreading it on toast, pippin

8:22 am

crosshair

lol

8:22 am

pippingeek

oh. yeah, i don't really eat toast.

8:22 am

pippingeek

but it makes a damn tasty omelet

8:23 am

zoozzoom

Pro-activ might be its UK brand name here, Molly by flora I think.

8:23 am

crosshair

Bread and crusty buns are my weakness:(

8:23 am

MLFAN17

4th column R?

8:23 am

pippingeek

and it melts easier than butter, so definitely more spreadable

8:23 am

zoozzoom

I used to love dripping on toast..lol

8:23 am

MollyL

I also switched to Daisy brand sour cream. Why? One ingredient. Grade A cultured cream.

8:23 am

crosshair

I still use saved bacon fat for fry-up from time to time

8:24 am

crosshair

only should be two ingredients on a tub of sour cream: cream and bacterial culture. period.

8:24 am

MLFAN17

never mind

8:24 am

pippingeek

8:28 am

zoozzoom

LOL yes you are right, Crossy.But what a way to go..lol

8:28 am

crosshair

the "squeak" is from the sound tomatoes make when they are in amongst the fry-ups:)

8:29 am

crosshair

add you bacon fat and really put the heat to her and dump it all in and fry for ten minutes:)

8:29 am

MLFAN17

does the mo8 extend from another mo word?

8:30 am

zoozzoom

Did not know that was why it was called Squeak!

8:30 am

Anniebrook

hi fan, mo8 is a plural of the one who gets up on a horse

8:30 am

pippingeek

there are 2 mo7-8 combos

8:30 am

crosshair

Yup, the tomatoes make a lovely squeaking sound when fried:)

Anniebrook

zoozzoom

Then add the sometimes vowel for the 7

8:47 am

pippingeek

it is a 6-7 combo

8:48 am

1:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

back. i just bought a new computer.

1:48 pm

Anniebrook

good for you, Owl. What brand?

1:49 pm

jmcnrick

congrate TO! how exciting! what you get?

1:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

miss frances. she was not prissy, she was motherly!

1:49 pm

MimiCat

What does it run, TO? I'm loving my Windows 8.1.

1:49 pm

jmcnrick

haha i couldn't stand her even then. . . not like my mother!

1:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

i bought the dell from QVC. i like that it had a hard drive and a dvd drive.

1:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

it runs 8.1 and most importantly comes with a back door to tech support

1:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

my old one came from there in 2008

1:51 pm

MimiCat

I had a Dell and it ran fine but when I did need tech support it was a nightmare trying to talk to techs in India...took them forever to help. Plus--when you need to replace something you can only order from Dell as they configure theirs so no other manufacturer's merchandise will fit.

1:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

well not like mine, either. but like moms on tv back in the day

1:52 pm

MimiCat

I also bought my Dell on QVC--small world.

1:52 pm

jmcnrick

good thing i wasn't a kid on tv then. . . i probably would have kicked her. . . .

1:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

the tech support was very good, as i remember.

1:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

but then again, many years ago

1:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

nice to see you, it has been a while.

1:53 pm

MimiCat

This new one is HP...tech support is in the Philippines...wish they'd bring these jobs home.

1:54 pm

jmcnrick

good to see you too TO

1:54 pm

Anniebrook

I needed to speak to someone at Amazon. Got this polite man from India but it was a awful trying to decipher what he was saying.

1:55 pm

jmcnrick

well americans want 24/7 service and few are willing to work those hours here. . .

1:55 pm

Anniebrook

I need an editor but you know what I mean.

1:56 pm

MimiCat

I also speak to many Amazon reps all over the world and mostly it's OK. But when I have an issue that's hard to explain, I ask to be transferred to the U.S.

1:59 pm

MimiCat

Gonna go for now...haven't eaten yet today and feeling kind of peckish. Have a good one, all...later.

1:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

2:00 pm

Anniebrook

bye Mimi, have a peaceful day

2:01 pm

Anniebrook

Owl, It was me. I was asking if there was a kitchen where the dance is being held. You can heat the rolls there.

2:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

no

2:02 pm

jmcnrick

bye mimi

2:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

2:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

gobbled, that is.

2:02 pm

Anniebrook

2:03 pm

jmcnrick

2:03 pm

jmcnrick

Anniebrook

72 Temple Owl

2:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

2:10 pm

hego

I would make them as late as possible.

2:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

Back for my last 237 words.

36 left here, hi Scrabbs

4:19 pm

bichon

Hi Scrabs

4:19 pm

bichon

Did you work today?

4:20 pm

Scrabbler

I worked from 830-230 and am on call til 0800 on Monday.

4:20 pm

bichon

Sounds like a bear

4:20 pm

Scrabbler

Anxious mamas and kids that are mildly ill.

4:21 pm

bichon

That would have been me

4:22 pm

Scrabbler

As soon as we see a baby or young kid smile we know they are fine.

4:22 pm

bichon

Mine were always dreadfully sick until they got to the doctor's office

4:23 pm

Scrabbler

Haha. I think sick kids just need to get out of the house.

4:23 pm

bichon

Probably, at least I don't have that any more

4:24 pm

bichon

But now my daughter calls me up for my medical advice

4:26 pm

Scrabbler

She should go to her doc's website or a book.

4:26 pm

bichon

No, I just Google it.

4:27 pm

MollyL

My doctor says she wishes no one could "Google" health issues.

4:27 pm

bichon

True, but she believes me more that the doctor

4:28 pm

Scrabbler

http://www.medicalhomeportal.org/

4:28 pm

Scrabbler

Reliable resources must be used to educate, then the doctor must diagnose and treat the serious stuff.

4:30 pm

bichon

One frustrating thing for her is that she is adopted and her birth mother refused to update any medical information.

4:31 pm

Scrabbler

Someday every newborn will have their genome tested and indexed.

4:32 pm

bichon

She had gestational diabetes and wanted to know if anyone else in her family did

4:33 pm

bichon

That's a big someday

4:33 pm

Scrabbler

Gestational DM is not uncommon.

4:34 pm

bichon

She has PSOD and I would thinks that's the problem. She conceived by taking Metformin. I wish she's still take it

4:35 pm

Scrabbler

Does she see an endocrinologist?

4:36 pm

bichon

No, but she won't listen to me. Even when she asks for advice aout her daughter, she never follows it.

4:36 pm

Scrabbler

Too bad.

4:37 pm

bichon

You would think.

4:37 pm

Scrabbler

Denial is powerful, but it is not an effective life strategy.

4:38 pm

periwinkle

lots of denial in my family

4:38 pm

bichon

No, but she thinks with her heart

4:38 pm

periwinkle

help with re6/18 pls

4:38 pm

bichon

She was great about giving herself insulin during prognancy

4:39 pm

bichon

I have no re's

4:40 pm

Scrabbler

re + ri4

4:40 pm

Scrabbler

Every morning the sun reri**s.

4:40 pm

4:41 pm

Scrabbler

Stupid word.

4:41 pm

Scrabbler

Enjoy, Peri.

4:42 pm

4:48 pm

Scrabbler

I need to go feed the bunnies. They are tossing their salad plates around. The rebellion has begun.

4:51 pm

bichon

bye

4:53 pm

MollyL

I'd like to nominate mo7/40 as possibly the dumbest Enable worthy word ever.

4:54 pm

bichon

among many other ridiculous words

4:55 pm

MollyL

That's why I included "possibly". It's so hard to choose.

4:55 pm

bichon

We've had some doozys

4:57 pm

Scrabbler

hi, all. Such sadness for someone I love. My cousin was recently married and was on his honeymoon in Cozumel, Mexico. He and his bride were experienced divers, and were on a dive on Monday. She became ill, and swam to the surfAce of the water. She died in my cousin's arms, of a bleed in her liver. Today would have been her birthday.
