Thanks, Liz. We've had great holidays, amidst a few road bumps. Hubby passed a kidney stone and a favorite uncle died after a long battle with cancer. Had company for Christmas and New Year's, thought, which was great!

apparently, 'twerk' isn't a word. Oh well, thats another new years eve completely wasted.
3:22 am
grannyrose
* giggle * g'day dachef. Happy New Year. define twerk....a twit who is a jerk perhaps.
3:24 am
Dachef
happy new year to you. a twerk is a...a...form of dance, I suppose. Google it.
3:26 am
grannyrose
well i'll be buttered on both sides. i didn't know that.
3:27 am
Dachef
now delete your browsing history.
3:29 am
grannyrose
do you twerk, dachef?
3:30 am
grannyrose
must look and see if i can find a vid clip.
3:31 am
zoozzoom
Twerking as it is better known here is a sexual type of dancing, Rose..lol
3:32 am
grannyrose
so what's your point? so long as it's with the one person for you....lol...could be an interesting dance...
3:32 am
Dachef
no I dont. White thirty-something male and twerking are two things that should never be wed.
3:33 am
zoozzoom
lol Agreed, Dachef!
3:33 am
grannyrose
roflol....aww go on....give it a go....
3:33 am
grannyrose
g'day zooz, mate. a Happy New Year to you
3:34 am
zoozzoom
And to you too, Rose :-)
3:35 am
zoozzoom
I had to type that twice...for some reason it did not show up the first time...this computer is crap.
3:37 am
zoozzoom
Did you stay up til midnight, Rose to welcome in the newyear?
3:38 am
grannyrose
you've got to be kidding!!! lol...this old grey mare was in bed, sound asleep. didn't even hear the fireworks which went off just one street away.
3:41 am
zoozzoom
lol..Heard lots of fireworks this year for some reason..But I was in bed reading a book so I did not mind.
3:42 am
grannyrose
i'm usually a light sleeper. but i was out cold. poor don said he had his head between two pillows, and still heard them.
3:42 am
zoozzoom
Gosh you must of needed the slepp then..lol
3:43 am
grannyrose
no slepp is good....describes it exactly....lol...i had been awake since 5am.
3:46 am
zoozzoom
How did your Christmas go did you have family around or was it just the two of you?
3:49 am
grannyrose
we celebrated christmas with just the two of us. still a little flat over what happened last year. but boxing day was great. had a lovely picnic in the park with my side of the family. 11 adults, 1 soon-to-be adult and 7 kids. it was chaotic and thoroughly delightful.
3:51 am
zoozzoom
It is strange when hearing someone say picnic on boxing day..lol So used to it always being a cold time of the year..Glad you had a wonderful time. did santa bring you everything you wanted or have you been a naughty girl and got a lump of coal?
3:52 am
grannyrose
i have been a naughty girl and got pearls...lol
3:53 am

Oh yes I Remember you saying about the pearls now...Think my memory is not what it used to be..lol

4:04 am
grannyrose
have you had a better night? are you in much pain today?
4:04 am
grannyrose
oh, sprite. don and i went shopping today. we took the MIL's wheelchair. it made such a difference.
4:05 am
sprite
lousy night, hips hurting like hell because of being in bed all day yesterday. My turn to have the flu. Thank God for flu shot, am not as sick as Rob was. But still sick enough. And... today we have scheduled a visit to my mother. Lucky me.
4:05 am
sprite
oh wow rose! Omg I am sooooo proud of you! Well done!
4:06 am
zoozzoom
((Sprite))
4:07 am
sprite
thanks zooz :) I can really do with some good hugs today. Haven't seen my mother in 2 years at least.
4:07 am
grannyrose
ugh, sprite. praying for you darling. for you to have strength and the tolerance. it must be faced dearest. just take your time....at your pace....and don't forget to put up your shield before you get out of the car.
4:07 am
sprite
thanks my darling rose. Yes, good advice, all of it. Will do!
4:09 am
grannyrose
* giggle * my shield was a riot shield like the police use. i used to imagine my mother's words bouncing off ot.
4:09 am
grannyrose
* it *
4:10 am
sprite
I just realised she is in her early 80s. She may not have been a mother to me at all and she has done lots of things to hurt me, but on the other hand... she is also an old lady. I should be able to at least feel compassion for that, right?
4:10 am
grannyrose
yeah, right. like i am supposed to feel love for my daniel??
4:11 am
grannyrose
yay sprite
4:12 am
sprite
love? supposed to feel? Nah, can never be used in the same sentence, lol. Compassion, now that is another barrel of fish. I think we should be able to feel compassion for other people. Everyone struggles in life.
4:13 am
sprite
*miffed* tetris isn't valid
4:13 am
grannyrose
so true, sprite. my friend, june, said the same. am trying to dig up a sense of compassion.
4:14 am
grannyrose
lol...sprite...dachef was quite put out that twerk wasn't in the dictionary.
4:15 am
sprite
compassion helps us to keep perspective. It is so easy to paint someone fully evil and demonise them... and so much healthier for all if we can feel compassion and see them as the struggling humans we all are.
4:15 am
sprite
I am with Dachef! I know several twerks!
4:16 am
grannyrose
unfortunately....i keep thinking .....what about me? i have submerged my feelings for so long...now i am coming out fighting.
4:17 am
grannyrose
* giggle * sprite, google it. i haven't found a vid clip yet..
4:17 am
sprite
sweetie, it isn't a matter of either/or. You are fully entitled to your feelings of hurt and anger. AND you can feel compassion with the man your son has become.
4:18 am

darling, i know. i just have to get around to it.

rose, I know you will :D It is just a matter of time. And, as my coachings teacher always said, remember to feel compassion for yourself too, in YOUR struggle!
4:23 am
zoozzoom
Looks like, Rose, has gone to watch a twerking video..lol
4:24 am
sprite
lol! I hope she is only watching, and not trying to do it! That would be murder for her hips.
4:24 am
grannyrose
nope, still here. buta tad distracted. my new dvd of downton abbey is playing.
4:25 am
grannyrose
oh, and sprite i went and checked out the local warm water pool. for a very small cost i can use the facilities whenever i want. the staff are very helpful.
4:26 am
sprite
wow that is good news!
4:26 am
grannyrose
about AU$3 per visit.
4:26 am
sprite
sounds doable
4:27 am
grannyrose
and i am going to look into the organisation, arthritis victoria. i think it would offer don and i some pretty good resources.
4:28 am

yes, no need to reinvent the wheel. You are coming out a winner once again, rose.

oh wow Une. I put up a few because my daughter wanted it... and now I am trying to find the courage to take them down. It is so not my thing, lol.
4:44 am
sprite
lol rose... so you can twerk now... in your thoughts!
4:44 am
grannyrose
lol...a line from downton abbey...but you are as infirm as windsor castle.
4:45 am
grannyrose
sprite, can you see MY hips doing that.
4:45 am
sprite
not in a million years, rose. Don't even think about it. Nor mine, for that matter.
4:46 am
grannyrose
our hubby's might think different...
4:47 am
grannyrose
well if they can swan dive off the wardrobe...we can twerk.
4:48 am
sprite
right. Dressed in superman outfit or tarzan clothes.
4:48 am
grannyrose
either/or. both display their naughty bits well.
4:49 am
sprite
quite the picture :D
4:53 am
sprite
my love will shop and cook today. I love him.
4:54 am
grannyrose
yay for him...i hope your day brings you some relief, dear.
4:55 am
sprite
not likely. It is the battle I always have when I am ill. I should be in bed because I am ill, but I can't stay in bed because of my hips hurting like hell.
4:56 am
grannyrose
poor dearest sprite...hugs and kisses.
4:56 am

this, too, shall pass ;)
Thanks for the hugs and kisses.

6:23 am

Happy New Year, dose, it's nice to see you

mattygroves
It's chilly - Sunday is meant to be around 3 though - proper chilly (for London)
6:25 am
doseffing
...cold here too ... below freezing again all day today ... but it's supposed to go up to about 3 or 5 tomorrow .. ... i'll bet that crossy gets a real dumping of snow tonight
6:26 am
rubyfoo
we had about 6 in, two days in a row but nothing since. Maybe it's too cold to snow
6:28 am
doseffing
... but you're in the Alps ... you're supposed to get snow ... so that all those Swiss skiers (and the British Royal Family) can have fun on the hills
6:30 am
rubyfoo
our snowbird friends are all here for the skiing, but there wasn't much "real" snow until last weekend. I'm making a little soiree for them this afternoon
6:31 am
doseffing
... an early apres ski ... the best kind ... have fun
6:32 am
rubyfoo
I followed some advice from ruru and put in some nice wines to serve with the extensive hors d-oeuvres I'm about to make
6:34 am

... must admit that hot chocolate was always more my style ... the fear was getting too brave and going out again
6:35 am
rubyfoo
when we first moves here, we used to drive to St. Anton to ski, not much liking Fr resorts
6:35 am
rubyfoo
but I've given it up' it's much to ri**y
6:38 am
rubyfoo
did you know that in French scrabble there are almost no k words?
6:38 am
doseffing
...when I was of an age to ski ... i had the psychological problem of having spent too much time training for track and field by running up the local ski hill ... still don't like driving past the place
6:39 am
doseffing
... in French scrabble do they have separate tiles for e-grave and e-acute?
6:39 am
rubyfoo
I loved skiing as it felt like dancing. I was never very good, but always used an instructor to shield me from the out-of-control crazies who I feared would crash into me
6:40 am
rubyfoo
no, no accent
6:41 am
doseffing
... always wondered ... ... what do they do? ... eliminate half the words in the language or just ignore the accents?
6:41 am
rubyfoo
they ignore them, but I find it very hard to play in French. Have only won one game
6:43 am
doseffing
... Even winning once must be considered a real accomplishment ... I'd never have the nerve to try ... ... far to embarrassing to be slaughtered every time
6:43 am
rubyfoo
>-- has no shame lol
6:44 am
doseffing
... two kids who went through French Immersion ... ... must keep up my image ... can't allow them to win ... so I knew better than to play them
6:46 am
rubyfoo
I wish I had had that kind of schooling. I had Fr in school, starting at age 11 (NYC schools), but only learned to understand and write, not speak
6:48 am
doseffing
... older one went to McGill and never used it once in four years ... though one of her roommates used it all the time and is now teaching in Europe
6:56 am
rubyfoo
years ago, 1st husband and I had a friend who taught at McGill, John Bruckman (RIP), Fr history, I thik
6:58 am
rubyfoo
nice to see you dose, but I have to go and cook
6:58 am
rubyfoo
missing the corner e for nbt and nb. Do you have it?
6:58 am

... nice to speak with you too ruby ... have a good afternoon ... no broken legs to be wheeled into the living room
6:59 am
doseffing
... sorry ... thats the one I'm missing too
7:00 am

that's no joke, the year I quit skiing, one of our friends had a broken pelvis and another, a very experienced skier/athlete, broke a vertabra and later died of it.

funny you should say, molly - one of my coworkers said something about how she should have a roast, not a retirement party, and noted that there are "plenty of people ready to take a chunk out" - hmmmm - perhaps she is not the beloved figure she thinks she is?

Trifioso
new years eve - valentine and I went out the the local pub. ran into a casual friend, who is well known for having NO filter....this guy asks us "so hey - does he sleep over your house, like, when you kids are home?" Valentine admitted that yes, he does sometimes, but we waited until we had been dating a longish time, I had discussed it with the kids first to gauge their comfort level, etc. Then the guy proceeds to browbeat with how wrong that is. Very discouraging, really.
8:08 am
Trifioso
Im not sure why it bothered me so much, but it did. My kids had NO issue with it - they like Valentine very much, and their dad lived with his partner for years before they married, so they didn't bat an eye. so why am I so irked?
8:08 am
MollyL
It's not like you have little kids. Your kids are old enough to understand the situation.
8:08 am
suefrad625
hes not getting any
8:09 am
suefrad625
my man and i have been together for 8 years. my kids where 8 & 12 and he has been staying over every weekend until he moved in 2 years ago.
8:09 am
MollyL
Trif, as long as YOU are comfortable about the way you have a relationship with someone, that is all that matters. The guy is an opinionated a-hole.
8:09 am
Trifioso
there is such a disagreement, even in the "how to be a divorced parent" canon about this. Half the opinion seems to be the divorced moms must take the veil until the kids have all grown and gone, the other half says do as you like, man....I think it depends on the people involved, right?
8:09 am
Trifioso
thanks chog....you always know what to say
8:10 am
suefrad625
The kids, his 13, understood that we love each other.
8:10 am
Trifioso
thanks sue.
8:10 am
MollyL
I'm not at all sure why the guy asked anyway. Like it's any of his business.
8:11 am
Trifioso
he was asking because he has started dating someone now (widowed) and they are contemplating sleepovers.
8:11 am
suefrad625
My kids love him and know that he and I are together, but getting married until my boys are out of college is financially a problem
8:11 am
MollyL
Well he obviously already has his mind made up if he chastised you for what you're doing.
8:11 am
Trifioso
he said he "doesnt' think it's fair to the kids." I don't get this. How is it not fair to my kids to have a caring adult in their lives?
8:11 am
Trifioso
oh, I know THAT story sue! Not to mention kissing my share of the pension goodbye
8:12 am
suefrad625
he is thinking that if it doest work our they also have to go through the break up.
8:12 am
suefrad625
well, that is life.
8:12 am
MollyL
Never, ever, ever give up your share of a pension. I know people who have and they regret it more than anything.
8:13 am
Trifioso
but that would be true anyway, even if valentine was never here at night. we do all sorts of stuff together as a family.
8:13 am
suefrad625
as long as you are showing your kids what love looks and feels like, you are an amazing mother.
8:13 am
Trifioso
thanks sue. I mean, I have my boundaries too! they didn't meet him until I was sure he was going to be in my life for a while, and I let them develop their own relationship
8:14 am
Trifioso
and no kidding, eh molly? I am doing all i can to avoid it.
8:14 am
Marc Freeman
Just be happy that is what is most important. Don't anyone else judge for doing something that you and your kids are fine with.

9:30 am

Now, French toast, done right, is a thing of beauty
9:31 am
MollyL
Corn syrup with artificial flavoring
9:31 am
MLFAN17
thats probably true molly
9:31 am
Judi
Yes. Maple flavored syrup is made with corn syrup. *turns up nose*
9:32 am
MollyL
I have yet to eat in a restaurant that makes French toast well. Which is why breakfast is an eat at home meal for us.
9:32 am
crosshair
The worthies are playing around with birch syrup, but I do not care for it. Give me good ole, proper maple syrup.
9:32 am
MLFAN17
corn syrup is in everything and its not good for you either
9:32 am
MLFAN17
is birch syrup sweet or sour usually?
9:33 am
MLFAN17
molly what does make french toast well not that hard to screw it up?
9:33 am
crosshair
it has a sourish undertone and is an aquired taste. they eat it because they can afford it, and it is the buzz of the month. it will soon die off i am sure
9:33 am
Judi
Corn syrup is revolting and is used in so many products. Coffee creamer, etc etc.
9:33 am
MollyL
It's all about the bread you use and how you cook it. Also the flavorings you use.
9:34 am
MLFAN17
molly true something thick
9:34 am
crosshair
french toast can be made dozens of different ways. I believe that the right bread, and egg prep is everything
9:34 am
MLFAN17
judi and they havent found anything to substitute it with
9:35 am
MLFAN17
cross i agree with you
9:36 am
Judi
I avoid corn syrup. Nasty stuff. They should just use it for ethanol and be done with it.
9:36 am
MollyL
Also, breakfast out is one of the most marked up in terms of food. What you pay for two eggs can buy 18 in the store.
9:36 am

9:37 am
MLFAN17
phae i have the one ending in s help with the other please?
9:38 am

I don't drink soda, don't use artificial creamers. I read ingredients. If it has corn syrup, it goes back on the grocery store shelf.

Back in the day we as a eatery supplier used to be able to order "cracked" grade eggs on the cheap. You would get the kitchen help to sit there all day and crack them open into large containers and you would simply blend it all up and pour it out at need. This grade of egg is not longer used.

What is stevia?
9:50 am
Judi
Peets is... acceptable in a pinch. Stevia is a plant based sweetener.
9:50 am

drinking take-out coffee is too expensive here. A medium coffee and a muffin at Timmies will run you about $750.00/year If you are addicted to Starbucks you can add another 250/year for the privilege of drinking premium brew. I am more of a tea person and my beloved gets a tub of pre-ground premium store-brand java/month at 15 dollars per tub

It's not dependence on Lickety to look at the top of the list for the large words. No more than it is asking for the stats. Same difference.
3:19 pm
penquis
yes, but the temptation to look at the rest of lickety is great...

Hi. Just trying to do the grid on this grey, cold, day in the great NOrthwest.
5:29 pm

te 6/21, please
5:29 pm

We nearly had a slush-snow mix north of Seattle, stidgmere. Beloved and I drove up near Stanwood for some grass-fed beef, and it rain/slushed up and back.
5:33 pm

good evening
5:34 pm

5:42 pm
stidgmere
Sorry, not following the chog with any great precision today. Here in south sound we have drizzle but no flakes, no slush. Fire in fireplace, though.
5:48 pm
ch1212
Fireplace sounds great, stidgemere, but we have a burn ban going on up north. Still though, we have our Christmas lights lit and it's warm and cozy... and my beloved is making beef burgundy in the slow cooker. He is an excellent chef (he taught me to cook :)
5:49 pm
stidgmere
The aroma of the beef and burgundy is so nice and rich! We are having a little breeze that keeps those burn bans from being imposed right now.
5:50 pm
ch1212
Enjoy your fireplace, and good wishes to you and all the stidg's for this coming year.
5:51 pm
stidgmere
Ty ch!! They will appreciate your kind wishes!!
5:52 pm

And on that happy note, fireworks for me. Any clues needed before I leave?

Just waved bye bye to my daughter Sarah as she returns to the UK after 2 short weeks. My heart is sore. Snuffle.
5:57 pm
Lizlin
Hugs, Soodle
5:58 pm
jaxx7
Aw soodle. Cheer up, she's only across the water.
5:59 pm
Lizlin
And there's always next visit to look forward to :)
6:00 pm
Soodle
Thanks Liz n Jaxx. And I have a whole week of uninterrupted Sarah to look forward to in April. I'm just a tad emotional now. I don't do GoodByes well. :-/
6:00 pm
jaxx7
perhaps you can go and stay with her at Easter. Not too far away.
6:01 pm
Lizlin
The time will pass quickly. Know what you mean about goodbyes. My visits to the UK are like that.
6:01 pm
jaxx7
That is easter, isn't it?
6:01 pm
stidgmere
I'm a big fan of the teleporting business--once it is operable.
6:01 pm
Soodle
Jaxx - for Christmas, Sarah bought & paid for a holiday for the pair of us in Gran Canaria!!! Starting April 14th. How lucky am I?
6:01 pm
jaxx7
Well done, Lizlin.
6:02 pm
Lizlin
That's a wonderful pressie - really exciting to look forward to. And thanks. Any clues before I go?
6:02 pm
jaxx7
well there you are then. you are a lucky mum with a generous daughter. The New Year has started well.
6:03 pm
Lizlin
I like your idea, stidg - beam me up Scottie.
6:03 pm
jaxx7
I will plod on for a little longer, thanks. Tc Liz
6:04 pm
Lizlin
Wishing you all the "bestest" of years.
6:04 pm
stidgmere
Exactly, liz. We waste so much time getting there when all we want is to be there.
6:06 pm
Soodle
For sure. I hit the jackpot with all 3 of my kids. The 3 of them are poles apart, but each of them bring me more happiness & joy than I ever could have imagined. My keyboard will probably crash soon, with the weepy tears falling on it. My kidneys were clearly installed far too close to my eyes....
6:07 pm
jaxx7
That is called counting your blessings, soodle and you clearly have 3.
6:24 pm
Soodle
Oh I'm sorry. My doom & gloom has infected the chog. Apologies. I'l bow out now.

Well.. I sure don't want to start the year out with Doom and Gloom
6:57 pm
pippingeek
No more doom and gloom, as of the new year I only work with dr doom now!
6:58 pm
rururocks
Doom and Gloom sounds like a bar for people with depression
6:59 pm
pippingeek
Dr gloom has moved on to another practice, so he practice has much less dead weight
7:00 pm
pippingeek
I don't know if I would go to a bar named doom and gloom
7:05 pm
pippingeek
My friends and I are cooking a belated New Years feast and I am excited
7:06 pm
pippingeek
Pork tenderloin stuffed with peaches and thyme butter
7:06 pm
Dorens
where do you get peaches this time of year?
7:07 pm
pippingeek
Out of a can!
7:07 pm
pippingeek
Actually I did see donut peaches in the market but I didn't trust them
7:08 pm
pippingeek
It's okay, it's all getting cooked down, then you make a sweet sticky gravy
7:08 pm
pippingeek
How are things going, are you still having fun with your love life?
7:23 pm
