sorry wrong grid! lol
3:41 am
grannyrose
{{hugs}} and good morning dear sprite. lolll macca....what year is it?
3:42 am
sprite
hello my dear friend *hugs*
3:43 am
grannyrose
i have just finished remaking the bed. * sigh * now i gets to sit quietly.
3:44 am
sprite
down, girl. Enough is enough.
3:46 am
grannyrose
how are you today sprite?
3:47 am
sprite
a bit shaky. One of those nights. And I hurt my ankle yesterday, which hurt my hip. But otherwise, pretty good.
3:47 am
grannyrose
poor sprite!! *gentle hugs and kisses*
3:54 am
sprite
went back to the doctor yesterday with rob and now he has prednisilon. The blood tests didn't indicate a bacterial infection, and hinted at gout. Doc wasn't sure, and said to go to the weekend doctor if rob would get a fever or the leg would become red.
3:56 am
grannyrose
he's awfully young to have out. i hope the prednisolone helps.
3:57 am
grannyrose
ugh !!!! * gout * ( my fingernails need cutting)
3:57 am
sprite
me too. and the poor man has had it as early as about 10 years ago. Painful as can be. And this time, it is swollen twice as much as any other time. His foot is grotesk.
3:58 am
grannyrose
and of course he is sitting down with it elevated, right?
3:58 am
sprite
yeah... some of the time. Nothing like a headstrong guy.
3:59 am
grannyrose
lolllll, i thought so.
3:59 am
sprite
lol... they are as bad as children
4:00 am
grannyrose
years ago, the treatment for gout was colchicine.i wonder if it is still around?
4:00 am
sprite
yes it is. Rob has colchicine and arcoxia for 'normal' attacks. But that did not help this time.
4:04 am
grannyrose
sprite, dinner is ready. i will heck in later to see if you are still here. if not... xoxox
4:04 am
grannyrose
*check*
4:05 am
sprite
*hugs* darling adn enjoy your dinner
4:17 am
grannyrose
*burp* and back..... lollll
4:18 am
sprite
jeeezzz louise... that is inhaling your dinner, lol. Was it good? Did you taste it at all? :D
4:20 am
grannyrose
chewing is such a waste of time... yeah, it was good. carrots, beans and corn kernels with chips and a small fillet of fish, crumbed.
4:24 am
grannyrose

05:30 on a Saturday and I am wide awake:/
4:29 am
crosshair
I best get used to it. Nowadays it is midnight till 5 am--on a good night
4:30 am
grannyrose
ugh crossy, you poor thing.
4:30 am
sprite
insomnia is a bitch
4:30 am
crosshair
Well, at least I have Babble at any time of the day or night:)
4:31 am
sprite
true, dat. Good companion, babble.
4:34 am
grannyrose
oh sprite, did i tell you? son simon and wife lu have decided to have regular family get-togethers. but have excluded Dan and his family. i feel a little ncomfortable about that. will try and grab simon next tuesday and discuss that.
4:35 am
grannyrose
WTG SPRITE!!!!
4:35 am
sprite
they must have their reasons for that.
4:36 am
grannyrose
yeah, i know. son josh is fed up with dan at the moment.
4:37 am
sprite
*hugs* Never easy, family issues.
4:37 am
crosshair
Our family has historically been terrible about get-togethers. We get together, get drunk, fight, then agree to do it in another five years, BUT if the shait really hit the fan with any one of us, you just call, and we are there. WE are just not "chummy" is all:)
4:37 am
grannyrose
i am trying to pour oil on troubled waters, or build a bridge over.
4:38 am
crosshair
We tried that but the bridge needed would be too bloody big:/
4:38 am
sprite
perhaps, rose, you should stay out of it? Not being the mediator, not getting in between the parties? let them sort it out between themselves.
4:39 am
grannyrose
i just hope it isn't because of what has happened between dan and me.
4:39 am
sprite
one little flame is all it takes, and the oil will burn on the water, and take the bridge down.
4:40 am
sprite
even if so, darling, it is still their decision, and not yours.
4:41 am
grannyrose
so you don't think i should offer to step out of the picture? just knowing that the other two and their wives want me is enough.
4:42 am
sprite
exactly. If they had wanted you out of the picture, they would have invited dan and excluded you. If you want to go, go, and enjoy it :)
4:43 am
grannyrose
okay, then. i will and shall.... loll
4:43 am
sprite
good :D *hugs* I am off for today, lots of love to you both and *hugs*.
4:44 am
grannyrose
{{hugs}} and lots of love and kisses dear sprite. xoxoxox

Angelsong
greetings!
4:45 am
grannyrose
angel!! hello. how did your cat go??
4:46 am
crosshair
and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!
4:46 am
Angelsong
granny, she had a malignancy...
4:46 am
grannyrose
oh dear, angel, how sad.
4:47 am
crosshair
On myfridgefood.com you can type in all the food you have on hand, and it will put up recipes of everything you can make with those ingredients:)
4:47 am
crosshair
I am so sorry, angel;(
4:47 am
Angelsong
we have decded not to put her through a total mastectomy. The vet is completely supportive.
4:47 am
grannyrose
wow crossy. what a helpful site!!
4:48 am
grannyrose
she isn't in pain is she, angel?
4:48 am
Angelsong
however, the vet does think it was all removed via the biopsy for now.
4:49 am
Angelsong
we are just going to care for her as we have always done and keep her as comfortable as we can.
4:50 am
grannyrose
good for you angel. i am sure she will appreciate all you do for her.
4:50 am
Angelsong
no pain, no discomfort at all.
4:51 am
Angelsong
we made a firm commitment to care for our cats for their whole lifetimes. no matter what, that has not and will not change.
4:52 am
Angelsong
I firmly believe that, if she could speak, she would say "no more surgery."
4:53 am
grannyrose
*smiling* i am sure she would angel.
4:53 am
crosshair
We made the mistake of trying to prolong the life of our first cat, who had rectal cancer. We spent $1600.00 on vets, and she was still uncomfortable and had zero quality of life.We let her have her justly deserved rest after that. She was 16
4:54 am
Angelsong
duchess and her sister will be 13 on September 14.
4:55 am
grannyrose
16 is a good age, crossy. to me it appears you made the correct decision.
4:56 am
Angelsong
we promised duchess we would always be here for her, and we would help her cross the rainbow bridge in peace when it's time. we will not allow her to suffer, but we want the best quality of life possible for her.
4:57 am
Angelsong
we love our girls as though they are our children. in a way, they are.
4:58 am
Angelsong
it will break my heart when she passes.
5:03 am
grannyrose
g'night all. time for me to go. angel, i know duchess is exactly where she needs to be.
5:47 am
sukee

What are the stats for the E in the lower right hand corner, please?
6:47 am
mattygroves
OK, looking :)
6:47 am
mattygroves
And found it. How is it the stats can help so much?
6:48 am
bichon
when there's an ex involved, it's easy
6:49 am

I try to keep my ex as far from being involved with me as possible :)

crosshair
Ugh!... $200.00 later and the groceries are MOSTLY done for a family of three for the month:(
7:06 am
crosshair
We are lowering our carbon footprint by eating less meat, but not by choice! $20.00 beef and pork roasts are now the norm, and a simple half-ham is almost $15.00! Pasta, fish, beans and rice for our group!
7:08 am
rbud
I caught a good sale a couple weeks ago, big pork loins for $1.79/lb, scooped a couple - will cut chops and roasts from them. was a bit gleeful at the time, haha!
7:08 am
crosshair
Not bad at all:)
7:09 am
rbud
can't even afford burger most days, sigh. been cutting ours with ground pork or turkey, but even those are pricey.
7:09 am
crosshair
That is 1/2 to 1/3 of what they want here today:(
7:10 am
crosshair
I was shocked to see beef and pork almost on par for a roast!
7:11 am
rbud
have developed a liking for ground pork sloppy joes, lately - I use mostly BBQ sauce in mine, tastes like BBQ chops from the grill, sort of.
7:11 am
rbud
usually trying to feed 6 people. 8 at the moment.
7:12 am
crosshair
Know what I miss? A big rack of ribs on the bbq:)
7:12 am
rbud
oh, me too. love ribs.
7:12 am
crosshair
feeding 8 a day must take some severe budgeting.
7:13 am
rbud
thankfully a few of them are usually gone at any given meal, lol
7:13 am
rbud
lotsa pasta here, too, glad I like it.
7:14 am
crosshair
lol. Have to get R.S.V.P's so you know how mcuh to cook at dinner
7:14 am
rbud
I just tell 'em the leftovers are in the fridge, deal with it! :)
7:14 am
crosshair
lol. Yup!
7:15 am
rbud
son's GF could live on mac and cheese, I swear. she makes it all the time in the middle of the night. :P
7:15 am
crosshair
Tonight is bar food. I got a good deal on honey-garlic wings. i will add a side of california veggie mix and some bacon-ranch dip
7:16 am
rbud
yum, sounds good!
7:16 am
crosshair
I had a gf long ago who used to get up at 3 am to make a pan of fried onions..
7:18 am
rbud
just the onions? wow. reminds me of an old BF's mom, she fried onions for special dinners, there'd be the bowl of them on the table with all the Thanksgiving sides. I thought it was odd, he seemed used to it.
7:21 am
MollyL
Wow, 50 dollars a week to feed three adults? That's amazing
7:22 am
crosshair
Not done yet, Molly. Still need to hit the farm for cheese, eggs, and home-made meat pies.
7:23 am
crosshair
And will price out some fresh chicken while over there.
7:26 am
MollyL
I've been making meat pies lately. Finally hit on the right recipe for crust.
7:27 am
crosshair
Like my eggs fresh enough so that sometimes they are still warm and you have to wash them when you get home:)
7:27 am
crosshair
A good crust goes a long way to making the perfect pie
7:28 am
rbud
I remember when Hubs was in school in Florida for a year, I fed the three of us on $15 or $20/week. Lots of potatoes, spaghetti and stew. Big night was burgers and homemade fries. Was in late '80s, daughter was under 2 yrs old. Hard to believe we got through that.
7:28 am
MollyL
I used to be able to handle Pillsbury dough...rolls and pie crust...but lately it has a weird taste I don't care for.
7:29 am
MollyL
It's hard/impossible to eliminate carbs when you are working with a tight food budget
7:29 am
rbud
often some store brands taste better than name brands, seems to me.
7:30 am
crosshair
Burgers used to be a cheap meal night--not any more. now to get 8 good all-beef burgers is on par with a roast
7:30 am
MollyL
Most store brands are name brands, just in different packaging.
7:31 am
crosshair
I prefer my store brand of bacon over the name brands. Was actually "on sale" today so picked up one package
7:31 am
rbud
yay, bacon for crossy! :D
7:32 am
crosshair
Yup. $4.00 , plus tax for 3/4 of a pond
7:32 am
crosshair
good for one meal
7:35 am
crosshair
I just got my drivers permit renewed this month. We have to do this every 5 years. The pictures were so different i actually weighed myself(I normally do not bother) Was delighted to find that in the last 5 years I lost 40!! pounds!

Hiya, kiddos! How goes the Saturday?
8:44 am
Judi
I see today's grid is brought to us by the letter "E".
8:46 am
Scrabbler
I awoke with a migraine so I took naproxen and will have more coffee now.
8:47 am
Judi
Sorry to hear that, Scrabbs. Had one last night, but it was because I topped off my night with a beer. Beer always gives me headaches now.
8:50 am
72 Temple Owl
hello all
8:52 am
Scrabbler
I didn't go to bed til 1230. We kayaked yesterday, had dinner, and I got home at almost 11. I was too revved up to fall asleep.
8:52 am

hello scrabs, hello judi.
8:53 am
Scrabbler
fa5/18 = unit in physics named after a guy
8:55 am
Judi
Huh. Monkied it. News to me. Is he the guy that made the cage?
8:55 am
Judi
Mornin bich!
8:55 am
72 Temple Owl
hi bich,
8:56 am
Scrabbler
IDK, Judi. He studied electromagnetism.
8:57 am
Scrabbler
Hi Bichon and pups.
8:59 am
Judi
Ah. I think that may be the same guy. There's a thing called a Fa5-ay cage. Supposed to protect people and electronics from EMPs and general radio, electrical interference. Thus is the sum total of my knowledge of subjects of physics.
9:00 am
Judi
Think I saw it used in a horror movie or some such.
9:00 am
Scrabbler
I don't remember much physics anymore, except mechanics. But I did like the course a lot. I took engineering physics when I was deciding on a major. I chose biology over math and engineering.
9:01 am
Judi
Well, biology is engineering on a much grander scale. :-)
9:02 am
Scrabbler
Oh, yes!
9:03 am
Scrabbler
52 left and I am stuck. Maybe I will return later.
9:04 am
MollyL
There was mention and use of one of those cages in Fringe. Peter wore one when he went into the house that had been affected by time travel.
9:05 am
MollyL
One of the characters in LOST also had that Fa last name.
9:06 am
Judi
Yes! I was just reading about the cages. An MRI machine is a version of one. Also said that electrical linemen wear Fa5ay suits when working with high voltage. Reckon I learned something today.
9:07 am
Judi
Loved Fringe. I miss Walter.
9:08 am
MollyL
I just re-watched the entire series on Amazon Prime. One of the best shows on TV ever. John Noble is one of my favorite actors. The character of Walter Bishop was one of my favorite characters.
9:08 am
Judi
And for you shoplifting fans, just line your tote bag with foil to thwart the clunky anti-theft devices on clothing.
9:09 am
Judi
He was brilliant in that role. It must have been a blast to play that character.
9:10 am
MollyL
It's unfortunate that Anna Torv has blended back into oblivion after Fringe. I thought she was very good in the series.
9:11 am
Judi
Or, maybe she doesn't have to work any more. Probably made a ton of money working on that show.
9:12 am
MollyL
Well, there's that. Between Dawson's Creek and Fringe, I think all Josh Jackson has to do is adore Diane Kruger.
9:12 am
Judi
Y'know, Molls. The more I see the picture of that Japanese actor in your icon, the more pissed off I get about the whole Nancy Boy thing. What a douche bag that guy was.
9:13 am
MollyL
I agree. It is very cruel to fool people into believing you are something that you're not. Especially nice people like the ones here.
9:14 am
Judi
Hubby is still snoring away. I have to go sic a cat on him I think.
9:18 am
Judi
That worked. Viv was very helpful. Talking him awake and giving him love bites. Good kitty.
9:20 am
MollyL
I guess old men get that from their cats, instead of their wives
: D
9:20 am
Judi
lol. Ahem. Yes.
9:21 am
rururocks
Nothing like it
9:22 am
Judi
I figured the words "love bite" would bring Ruru out of hiding.
9:23 am
rururocks
I just woke up
9:23 am
MollyL
Nothing like love bites from a cat? You've been single too long.
9:24 am
rururocks
Not that..just waking up to a pussycat of top of you...
9:24 am
Judi
*knew he was gonna go there*
9:25 am
rururocks
Well...ms inuendo started it..😃
9:27 am
rururocks
Love bites are fun too though
9:27 am
Judi
I suppose I have to agree.
9:27 am
MollyL
I've never quite understood the whole "critters in the bed" thing
9:28 am
Judi
Beastiality. No! No! Just nice for cuddles.
9:28 am
rururocks
Depends on the animal you let into bed
9:30 am
Judi
Now that my beast is awake, it's time to feed the dog and get ready to go to breakfast. Tapping out with 22 words left. Ta! *Poof*
9:31 am
rururocks
Beast of burden?
9:34 am
MollyL
Well, at least he springs for breakfast.
9:36 am
MollyL
I hope it's epic
9:36 am
rururocks
Aren't all brekkies that way
9:41 am

9:50 am
rururocks
The chef?
9:53 am
MollyL
You...you cook...correct? With French chefs at times?
9:55 am
rururocks
I dont cook with french chefs. But there is a big difference between a cook and a chef
9:56 am

rururocks
It was good. The scallops didnt cooperate
10:14 am
cybernan
what do you mean, didn't cooperate?
10:15 am
rururocks
They had so much water in them i couldn't sear them
10:17 am
cybernan
oh - too bad
10:17 am
rururocks
The lamb came out nice.
10:17 am
cybernan
queen scallops or bay scallops?

oh -- thought you were say that bugs (insects) had eaten them!
10:23 am
cybernan
We can never get them other than flash frozen, so with the really large ones, we cut them in half and let them rest on a paper towel for a few minutes before searing them -- that gets rid of some of the water.
10:24 am
cybernan
did some one connect the ca 6 to cooking?

I missed the whole Nancy Boy thing but I remember a spat with anime involved, about ten years ago
11:33 am
bichon
I don't think it was that long ago jane
11:34 am
MollyL
You were fortunate to miss it Harp. Whoever that was, they conned a lot of people.
11:34 am
harpjane
I know, the NB thing was recent but there was one near the inception of Babble.
11:35 am
bichon
I started play in about '07, but it might have been before that. Then there was the whole Mrs. P thing and people here who got bilked out of money
11:36 am
MollyL
It's one thing for there to be arguments or disagreements. That will happen in any group of people. It's another thing entirely to lie and deceive a lot of nice people.
11:37 am
MollyL
Sadly, a lot of people here got badly burned by that Mr P thing.
11:38 am
harpjane
I missed that entirely. I was blissfully playing Farmville.
11:40 am
MollyL
People here say Babble is addictive but from what I hear, Farmville is ten times more addictive.

thanks! fireworks on off to farmer's market
11:52 am
MollyL
Nancy Boy was a fake poster here who posted a lot and for a long time and fooled a lot of people with his sad tales of woe. That is the short version. Lesson being, be careful who and what you believe.

Don't forget to have a sense of humour and if you write a cheque, there is the money difference to consider. Steer clear of that poutine stuff and remember that Mounties don't just like their horses.
12:24 pm

And please don't get Sanni confused with a sarnie...and don't ask me how sandwich became sarnie because it's beyond me.

How is the bathroom remodel going?
2:29 pm
crosshair
Grout is drying as we speak. Toilet is bolted back down, and we will be able to fully use the bathroom mid-day tomorrow:)
2:34 pm
crosshair
Not a remodel per-se, but rather a long-overdue critical repair. Having tile fall from the rotted, water-saturated wall and onto your head while having a tub was not good.
2:35 pm
crosshair
new 12 inch tile on the floor and matching 6- inch tile on the tub surround walls
2:38 pm
rururocks
So you are sort of grout fishing?
2:41 pm
crosshair
Took a lot of labour to put it all in so fast, but it was worth it. had to put up new green-board behind it all as there was some mould. Tile is a nice mushroom cap colour.. lol love using those vowels!
2:41 pm
crosshair
Makes the American dictionary in this computer have apoplexy:)
2:42 pm
rururocks
Mould is not good.
2:42 pm
crosshair
Nope; not good at all.

Amazing. Your landlord must love you for doing all that work free of charge.
2:43 pm
crosshair
I did not do all of that.

Think I am going to pay that money for the tile? Nope.
