yeah i try, but my bed is up high and I cannot sit up straight under the ceiling. So it is a bit of a twist.
2:30 am
grannyrose
you can use your hands and elbow to help you
2:30 am
grannyrose
ahhhhh. that would make it very difficult
2:31 am

Anniebrook
Were two pandas born?
7:53 am
Anniebrook
I thought only one...glad to learn it is more than one
7:53 am

Yes, twins, which apparently is pretty rare. It presents a challenge to the zoo because pandas are not very good mothers.
7:54 am
Anniebrook
Im going to turn the TV and try to catch the conference
7:55 am
MollyL
It's live streaming on wusa.com, but I think it's almost over

I'm making apple butter today. It smells like Fall in here.
11:20 am
Aloyisius
umm, nice
11:32 am
rururocks
I love making homemade applesauce
11:33 am
rururocks
what is the difference with apple butter?
11:33 am
MollyL
You cook it longer so it gets darker and thicker. It's more like a spread than a sauce.
11:34 am
rururocks
sounds good
11:34 am
MollyL
It's a part of my effort to make more and buy less commercially produced food stuff.
11:35 am
rururocks
I just picked my apples off my tree and was going to make applesauce for a pork dinner
11:35 am
rururocks
it was a tiny crop this year.. probably due to the drought
11:35 am
MollyL
Oh, how nice that you have an apple tree. I would love to have fruit trees.
11:36 am
rururocks
I'm planning to plant a peach, a plum, a lemon, and an apple tree at my new house whenever I get one
11:39 am
rururocks
my apple tree produced 12 apples this year other than a few the blue jays ate
11:41 am
MollyL
Ah, how nice it would be to have fresh lemons.
11:43 am
MollyL
Cos, you old pole cat, you old so and so
11:43 am
rururocks
I have a small lemon tree too..
11:43 am
rururocks
at my old house we had to gigantic meyer lemon trees
11:43 am
rururocks
two trees sorry
11:44 am
Aloyisius
we have a meyer lemon tree.. produces like crazy
11:44 am
Aloyisius
hi cos
11:44 am
MollyL
I get so jazzed when I can go out and pick the few things I grow on my patio in the summer. I would be in heaven with a yard to have a real garden and some fruit trees.
11:44 am
rururocks
ours too aloy...
11:44 am
rururocks
they really do produce
11:45 am
rururocks
the tree I have here is a normal lemon.. only okay fruit
11:46 am
Aloyisius
container gardening is fun too, Molly
11:50 am
Aloyisius
earthbox.com : I know people who love these systems and grow fantastic vegetables, etc.
11:50 am
MollyL
Oh, I'm grateful for the wee bit I can grow in the warm season. I'd just like to expand that so I could grow enough to freeze/can for the colder season.
11:52 am
Aloyisius
Lotsa work when you have good luck.. used to start "putting up" at the end of August and worked through October when we had three huge gardens.. but, yes, when I opened the green beans in the winter, it was like opening a jar of sunshine.. son did not appreciate the brussels sprouts at Thanksgiving.. called them "garbage balls", a nickname that has stuck
11:53 am
MollyL
That is a nice site Aloy, but you don't have to spend that kind of money to do container gardening. I saw the most clever hanging herb garden that someone did with an old shoe hanger that you put on the back of your closet door.
11:54 am
Aloyisius
right.. my BIL has hanging tomato plants
11:55 am
rururocks
that's awful
11:55 am
rururocks
tomato lives matter
11:55 am
MollyL
I've gotten a lot of good ideas from the many web sites devoted to small space gardening.
11:59 am
Aloyisius
well.. fw and time to get some eek work done.. tc all, poof
12:00 pm
rururocks
eek work?
12:10 pm
MollyL
Sounds scary
12:11 pm
rururocks
I'm guessing it involves mice
12:11 pm

That would be eek work for me.

hi fellow babblonians. I hope everyone's enjoying the weekend.

7:11 pm

7:12 pm

Nice thing: Before takeoff, the pilot announced we had several firefighters on board heading to Washington to help. The passengers all broke into loud applause.
7:14 pm
Nef
Sorry Daisy, I don't have them yet but am now looking for them
7:14 pm

u was stung by a bee today and have been waiting to see how i would react.
7:17 pm
Nef
TO, are you allergic?
7:17 pm

7:18 pm
TraderKate
ouch! pooor TO :(
7:18 pm
72 Temple Owl
i had a few yellow jacket stings at once and developed hives.
7:18 pm
Nef
Did it swell much?
7:18 pm
TraderKate
did you take an antihistamine just in case?
7:19 pm
72 Temple Owl
no. this was a bee, first bee sting.
7:19 pm
Nef
TO, you should know that your body will react stronger each time you get stung in the future.
7:19 pm
72 Temple Owl
a bit. there is a bump.
7:20 pm
72 Temple Owl
i thought so, nef, but it has not so far. i think it was the multiple stings that did it. lots of venom.
7:20 pm
Nef
I'm allergic to bees, wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets. Be careful (I carry the 2 Epipens at all times because of that)
7:21 pm
TraderKate
I am fully prepared to beg for both of the n words, if any one can help me out please?
pretty please?
pretty please with sugar on top?
7:22 pm
Nef
I was stung a few times as a kid; but when I was in my 40's I was mowing the lawn & went over a ground nest & had multiple stings then. At the time I had a "bee sting " kit for a different allergy, but ended up needing it then.
7:22 pm
