She grew up in London, married an American man 26 years ago, and came to the US. She is very kind and sweet.

She sounds like a good bunny-sitter. Youre lucky to have good neighbors.
7:24 am

Hi Judi. Welcome to another round of Bable Junior. If you finish, you get a box of Play-Dough.
9:05 am
JBsAnno
What do the Babble Seniors get, Molly?
9:05 am
Judi
Yay! Play dough!
9:06 am
MollyL
Well, the prude like ones get a ruler to rap the knuckles of those of us who speak in sexual innuendo. The fun ones get a purple hat.
9:07 am
Judi
Good think I look good in purple.

If any of the nuns that taught me are still alive, I'm sure they are still saying novenas for my soul.

They need to change their habits to be able to run faster.

9:09 am
MollyL
Picture The Penguin in the movie, The Blues Brothers. My eighth grade nun looked just like her, only older.
9:10 am
Trifioso
for some reason, molly, I pictured Penguin from the batman series....
9:10 am
car.eeyore
It was a bit uncomfortable, but they got right on the trouble spot, so that was good. My leg now feels like it weighs about 800 lg.
9:10 am
Trifioso
is it supposed to??
9:11 am
car.eeyore
yes...it is the pressure of the injected stuff
9:11 am
JBsAnno
My 3rd grade nun. Sister Claire Alouise. She used to purse her lips and breathe out a long 'ooooOOOoooo." Then we knew someone was in for the ruler.
9:11 am
MollyL
The best coffee snort I ever created was when I passed my husband the Sunday paper and pointed to a picture of Siegfried and Roy and a tiger and said, "There are Siegfried and Roy and the only pussy they will ever be interested in." Coffee everywhere.
9:12 am
Judi
LOL, Molls! Good one!
9:12 am
JBsAnno
Any spray involved, car?
9:12 am
JBsAnno
Snortworthiest, Molly!
9:12 am
car.eeyore
injected a numbing agent and then the corticosteroid
9:12 am
MollyL
I am old enough to have had nuns with men's names. Second grade: Sister James Bernard
9:12 am
car.eeyore
Crap...you meant coffe spray didn't you?
9:13 am
car.eeyore
obviously, my brain has also gone numb...
9:13 am
JBsAnno
Hmm, yes, car. But thanks for the TMI!
9:13 am
Judi
Numbness is better than pain.
9:13 am
car.eeyore
i'm sorry
9:14 am
car.eeyore
I'm still uncomfortable...will be for a day or two
9:14 am
JBsAnno
My mostest favoritest 5th grade nun, Sister Marie Timothy. She was awesome.
9:14 am
Trifioso
that doesn't seem fair - I wanted you to have instant, blissful relief
9:14 am
car.eeyore
no...going for longterm relief
9:16 am
JBsAnno
Hope you both feel better soon, car and Trif! I can personally vouch for the pain relief here in the Babble chog, though, helps me get through some rough days and nights. Rulers and purple hats indeed!
9:17 am
Trifioso

9:27 am
Judi
Ty. Silly of me not to be thinking in French.
9:30 am
MollyL
Really Trif? Were people looking at you funny and backing away slowly?
9:31 am
MollyL
Around here, unless you were singing "Hermanas" no on in the emergency room would understand your song.

Oh I'm so sad that someone had to ask if a Camaro was a car
9:35 am
rururocks
Judi lives a sheltered life
9:35 am
Judi
Oh yeah. Oy. Slow on the uptake today.
9:35 am
Judi
Actually, my husband drove a (very old) camaro when we first started dating.
9:35 am
MollyL
Thinks of the Springsteen lyric...I blew that Camaro off my back, and blew that little girl away..."Racing In The Streets"
9:35 am
rururocks
her cave paintings are wonderful to see
9:36 am

Coffee snort on 'cave paintings', oh my

It was once my dream to have a Firebird. Back when I thought I would have money when I was older. Hahahahaha!
9:36 am
rururocks
I got passed by a Camaro yesterday going over 100 on the highway
9:37 am
rururocks
it was an older one too
9:37 am
Judi
Whaaat? The Audi let him get away with that?
9:37 am

Cave paintings of mustangs..

rururocks
<---practices safe everything judi :D
9:38 am
Judi
Every time I see one now, I can't help but think of "Joe Dirt".
9:38 am
rururocks
the question is... how do you have a bunch of kid and have money?
9:38 am
JBsAnno
It was all our dream, Molly - not the Firebird so much, just the money :)
9:39 am
rururocks
in high school if I had a firebird....
9:39 am
Trifioso
it is amazing how much money they seem to inhale, ruru...whenever mine happen to be away at the same time, I MARVEL at how little I spend

This is truly an effen grid!
9:43 am
MollyL
So wait, only people with no kids have money? Who knew.
9:43 am
JBsAnno
Well, not me, Molly!
9:44 am
MollyL
There are people who post here who have several kids and appear loaded.
9:45 am
Trifioso
"appear" is the key word there, molly
9:45 am
JBsAnno
It's the Internet, Molly, they *could* be dogs...
9:45 am
MollyL
Um no. If you can regularly travel for leisure, you are what I consider "loaded"
9:46 am
MollyL
But yeah, what they are posting c
9:46 am
MollyL
could all be fiction
9:47 am
rururocks
I think after a basketball game and a bottle of wine.. I appear loaded :D
9:48 am
MollyL
Hopefully those are the games you watch at home.
9:48 am

Well, gotta go work on those cave paintings of mustangs along with Judi. Back later to finish!
9:49 am

i am wondering how much of that dinner will end up on the floor or her husband's lap?
10:44 am
rururocks
good question
10:53 am
MollyL
You know, for all the venting Ruby does here about her husband, I think it's very hard for her to watch him sliding into a mental no man's land. And I think she is nicer to him than she lets on.
10:53 am
rururocks
well he does sound difficult.. but then.. all men are
10:59 am
jaxx7
I wonder if he has always been the one who was looked after and he cannot cope with the idea that his carer is now ill as well?
11:02 am
MollyL
Ruby's husband has what sounds like un-diagnosed Alzheimer's. That has been going on for years now. Not sure there is any caretaker loss thing going on.
11:05 am
jaxx7
Is there any reason why they have not got a diagnosis? A friend of mine has been worried that her husband has dementia as he has been very aggressive etc. It turns out it is sleep apnoea and he has been woken up 85 times an hour every night.

From what I have read online, he's in the middle stage.

Better way to make popcorn made in the mircrowave. Mix a half cup of popcorn and two tablespoons of oil in a bowl. Put that in a brown paper lunch bag. Nuke for 3 minutes. Season with salt, butter or whatever you put on popcorn. None of that gross fake yellow whatever and the bad smell of store bought nuke popcorn.
12:05 pm
crosshair
I still make mine the old way with a large pot on the stove and shake it up by hand;)
12:05 pm
rubyfoo
U made Paul Newman's popcorn for the first time ever last eek and it was fine, just added a ton of melted butter at the end
12:06 pm
MollyL
I make popcorn on the stove too. But I have made it the homemade mircowave way and it is much better than what you buy at the store. And much cheaper too.
12:06 pm
crosshair
The I add just enough butter and salt so i feel guilty about how much I have used, and it is perfect;)
12:07 pm
MollyL
I can't stand the smell of those microwave bags of popcorn that are mass produced.
12:08 pm
rubyfoo
The only popcorn I could find here was in the imported foods aisle. It's better than nothing and French butter hides many sins
12:08 pm
crosshair
With real butter and bacon, anything is possible;)
12:09 pm
MollyL
I like bacon with breakfast. Adding it to everything else under the sun doesn't appeal to me
12:09 pm
rubyfoo
You could eat your bedroom slipper if you put enough butter on it
12:10 pm
rururocks
that would leave a margarine of error wouldn't it ruby?
12:10 pm
MollyL
That is what I say about blue cheese dressing Ruby.
12:11 pm
rururocks
<---loves blue cheese dressing
12:11 pm
MollyL
I can take or leave butter but anything is better with blue cheese dressing
12:11 pm
rururocks
I like butter.. but don't use a lot of it
12:11 pm
rubyfoo
Aaaah, blue cheese -- salad made with fennel, endive, tomatoes from garden (not yet)
12:12 pm
rururocks
beet salads with blue cheese dressing is a great match
12:14 pm
rubyfoo
you can even find pre-cooked but unseasoned beets here, makes it very easy/ I cut them up and pickle them with onions, turnip and pickling spices (from the US)
12:14 pm
rururocks
I cook beets from scratch.. much better that way
12:15 pm
rururocks
I steam them generally.. not boil
12:15 pm
rubyfoo
At this point, I'm looking for easy solutions
12:15 pm
rururocks
sure.. I bet
12:16 pm
rururocks
I better get to work.. good luck on all the tests and results ruby.. I'll be thinking good thoughts. I am glad your son is stepping up to help.
12:18 pm
MollyL
Beets...ptui!
12:18 pm
rubyfoo
He is really coming through and I am very lucky. He is involved with this and is researching everything. His step-sibs are both French -speakers and are helping him with translations. He has even hired a Fr tutor
12:18 pm
rubyfoo
Molly, you would like them chez Ruby
12:19 pm
rururocks
good.. best of luck and everything rubes
12:19 pm
rubyfoo

I doubt it Ruby. Beets are on my blech list
