I don't think that's ever been asked about the Metis (Northern American tribe of mixed native and French ancestry).

Sorry, I shouldn't have been so direct. The dictionary entry doesn't make it clear that it comes from the name of a tribe (best known for its rebellion led by Louis Riel).

three course chinese meal with son and DIL whose birthday it has been, then over to a high french tea to celebrate nephew's 10th.
2:24 am
worzel
Don't know about the French tea but the 3 course Chinese sounds delish!!
2:25 am
grannyrose
it was. we had beef steak honey-glazed in a black pepper sauce, scallops and vegies with cashews, and pork belly, slow cooked in a very lightly spiced sauce.
2:26 am
worzel
mmm pork belly - sadly I like mine with fat on (not good for me I know, but you're a long time dead!!) and sadly I can't manage cashews owing to my dentures (god i'm getting old!!!)
2:26 am
grannyrose
* thinks, must send son some denture cream*
2:28 am
worzel
Oh I have denture cream, it's just that I can't wear the bottom set as they hurt too much, so crushing a nut against your gum is out of the question lol. Don't know how I've managed for the last 17 years without nuts as they used to be my favourite snack
2:38 am
ursh
worzel can you not get a new bottom set made, you obviously have a bad fit - bottom dentures are always a pain
2:40 am
worzel
No, I've had 3 pairs made since having the operation and none of them have been comfortable. I told my dentist that somebody should come up with dentures that have a thick rubber base instead of hard plastic but he said they wouldn't work. I can't see why not - thick rubber would be much more comfortable. I'm fine with the top set - have had 2 different pairs over 17 years and never even had to wear denture adhesive to keep them in place! So comfortable.
2:50 am
grannyrose
okay son, it is dy7 and it's plural dy8
2:52 am
worzel
ok mum clue for the dy7 then lol xx
2:52 am

How is your weather today Ruby? We have snow on the ground again...
5:47 am
MollyL
What a drag, we are having a winter throw back today. Everything is in bloom, it's been in the 60's and 70's and last night it dropped down to the 30's and we had 50 mph winds. Gross.
5:47 am
rubyfoo
Grey but not very cold. These are the first two mornings that I haven't needed a fire
5:48 am
rubyfoo
That's horrible, Molly
5:48 am

Baseball season opens today and there is snow on the ground.
5:48 am

It is cold enough for a fire here but I have already cleaned out the fireplace for the season.
5:49 am

It's pretty here now; the wild flowers (weeds) in the lawn are all blooming
5:49 am
rubyfoo
Do they play in the snow?
5:49 am
sukee
If they have to, luckily Toronto is starting in Tampa and we have an indoor stadium up here.
5:49 am

Yay for baseball season. Batter up.
5:50 am

The very first game Toronto played 40 years ago was in the snow.
5:50 am

5:50 am
MollyL
Well it is 60 degrees in Tampa. That is more like baseball weather.
6:00 am
MollyL
Our Orioles will be in Tampa on Friday.
6:00 am
sukee
Tampa may end up moving to Montreal if some people have their choice.
6:02 am
MollyL
That is kind of funny, considering the Expos moved to DC.
6:02 am
sukee
Montreal wants their team back :)
6:03 am
MollyL
It really sucks when a city loses their team. I know people in Baltimore who still bitch about The Colts leaving.
6:04 am

Tampa doesn't seem to get the fans out, when they play the Jays our fans almost outnumber them.
6:11 am
MollyL
It amazes me how many people can travel to support a sports team
6:12 am

I used to be a Brooklyn Dodgers fan when I was little -- and then they were gone! poof

Good morning Annie. Right chilly here in eastern America for Spring.
7:01 am

Sure. But growing up within 20 minutes busride of the Yankees, Dodgers and Giants stadiums, thinking the World Series was always held in one or the other of them, it's hard to take the Mets seriously.
7:01 am
Anniebrook
Molly, I am on the 23rd floor and the wind is howling outside my windows. It is very cozy being indoors.
7:02 am
jwr
It's the Giants now, but that's because they're my local heroes these days.
7:02 am

We had 50 mph winds last night Annie. Howling is the right word.
7:02 am

I've found that New Yorkers are very divided when it comes to baseball.
7:03 am
jwr
Exactly, Molly.
7:03 am

I take it that NYC isn't exactly balmy springtime yet.
7:04 am

I was born a Yankee fan. I just want to know why Paul O'Neill opened his big mouth and said he was a Trump supporter. THAT does not belong in baseball
7:04 am
MollyL
It really bothers me when celebrities get political.
7:04 am
Anniebrook
I almost became a Met fan because of that remark.
7:04 am

Annie, that is a five letter word that should never be spoken in public!
7:05 am
Anniebrook
LOL. In6! I will never do that again.
7:05 am

Everyone I know is amazed by the following Trump has amassed. What I want to know is WHO are the people supporting him?
7:06 am

Now if we could just get the rest of the country to follow along . . . .
7:07 am

There was a middle-aged woman on TV yesterday that pooh-poohed his remark about abortion being criminal. That is who is voting for him.

Trump is dangerous--for the U.S and for the world. It is astounding that the man has even made it this far rather that being a novelty candidate like Limberbutt McCubbins, a cat who actually had the proper FEC paperwork filed by his 17 year old owner, Limberbutt McCubbins...Actually, the cat would be a better vote than Trump :)

Dryer delivered and hubby went to get lunch at McDonalds
9:54 am
rururocks
sounds like you'll have a happy meal then :D
9:55 am
MLFAN17
ruru anything that you get there is about the same sizes anyway so doesn't matter what they put it in or on. its just that it would come with a toy that probably wont hold its value in the long run
9:57 am
rururocks
I think I was sixteen the last time I ate at a mcdonalds.. I'm not a fast food person
9:57 am
MollyL
I ate at McDonald's all the time as a teenager. Now it just grosses me out.
9:58 am
MLFAN17
we are sadly fast food people. when we were growing up my mom tried to keep us from the stuff and sodas too. With her one set of grandkids it doesn't seem to bother her doing it
9:58 am
MLFAN17
<---Love's McDonald's French fries:)
10:00 am
rururocks
it doesn't gross me out.. but I wouldn't go to one. I would rather go to a Mexican taco stand before mcdonalds.
10:01 am
MLFAN17
Molly yesterday we went to Arby's I ate the au jus type roast beef sandwiches hubby bought two but I just didn't want the other one got kind of boring. Too bad they don't have much else to eat there
10:01 am
MLFAN17
we have Taco Bell here too but we don't go to it
10:02 am
helensgirlkid
Thak you Flosey for that clue - I don't think I'd have got that word for a long while!

mixi ugghh
10:06 am
helensgirlkid
And then comes to breathe in your face, right?
10:06 am
MollyL
The other thing about McDonald's and fast food in general is that for what you pay there, you can buy food and cook better things for less money. Also a lot less fat and sodium.
10:06 am
MLFAN17
that's for sure Molly
10:06 am
rururocks
yes. that's what I was thinking too molly
10:06 am
rururocks
I made a hamburger last night myself.. it's pretty easy
10:07 am
rururocks
I'm guessing the fries would be a little more challenging :D
10:07 am
MollyL
If I'm going for French fries, I'm going to Five Guys. Best fries ever.
10:09 am
MLFAN17
have had those Molly quite good as well but I am a French fries fanatic
10:09 am
MLFAN17
ruru you could have made French fries or potato chips
10:10 am
MollyL
I only eat fries about once a year if that. I like potatoes, but cooked in other ways.
10:11 am

11:49 am
cybernan
The island and lower mainland are about 2 or 3 weeks ahead of us -- all the bulbs are blooming there, as well as the cherry trees
11:50 am
doseffing
... my wife keeps talking about going to her brother's wedding in late February or early March about 30 years ago in Victoria and all the flowers were out
11:51 am
doseffing
... of course she has never worked in a garden in her life so all the flowers may mean a couple of crocuses and tulips
11:51 am
rururocks
That was a period of global warming dos
11:51 am
cybernan
yes -- spring bulbs are just about finished there and just starting here. We don't have any bulbs other than at the front doorstep -- the deer and field mice eat all the rest.

Did you see the video of the Everglase panther.
1:18 pm
hego
Everglades. Dang!
1:18 pm

That's the one.
1:19 pm
Aloyisius

Still here Hego?

Went for more coffee.
1:39 pm
Scrabbler
Hi there.
1:39 pm
hego
Are you really running now?
1:40 pm
Scrabbler
No, that was an April Fool's Day joke. Do I look like a runner? Really, Hego!
1:41 pm
hego
Well, you fooled me, okay!
1:41 pm
Scrabbler
And would my mantra really be graceful gazelle? More like klutzy goofball!
1:41 pm
hego
I should have known to beware of the queen of tomfoolery!
1:42 pm
Scrabbler
Yes! But many people really believed me! Geez, look at my body! I do not have a runner's body and every leap would make me pee anyway.
1:43 pm
hego
We have great faith in your physical prowess and athletic ability.
1:44 pm
therealblah
thanks for mentioning the panther video, very cool
1:44 pm
Scrabbler
My longest one day hike was 15.4 miles but I cannot run. No way.
1:44 pm
therealblah
i learn so much by playing babble :)
1:44 pm
hego
Blah, yes. Great video.
1:45 pm
Scrabbler
I saw that panther video--scary.
1:45 pm
Scrabbler
Some of my best friends now were made right here on Babble in the last 10 years! And I have met several in person.
1:46 pm
therealblah
i was amazed at her calmness (other than the holy sh**)
1:46 pm
hego
I was amazed at that too Blah.
1:47 pm
hego
Scrabs yes. Babble has been a great place to meet people.
1:47 pm
Scrabbler
Twice a coyote has run in front of me and my sister while hiking, but a panther would be a holy sh*t moment.
1:47 pm
therealblah
truly
1:48 pm
hego
But the poor thing couldn't get away fast enough.
1:48 pm
therealblah
last time i was in Sanibel we saw a couple of 8-10 foot alligators in the nature preserve (and probably got way too close so we could take pics)
1:48 pm
hego
does anyone have the sy 6?
1:49 pm
hego
Now alligators would scare the pants off of me.
1:50 pm
Scrabbler
Yes, sy6 = a method
1:50 pm
therealblah
yeah i guess they can move pretty fast, so approaching one is not really a good idea
1:51 pm
hego
Got it as soon as I asked, ala Peri.
1:51 pm
hego
Very bad idea, actually.
1:51 pm
Scrabbler
The Periwinkle Maneuver is a fascinating phenomenon.
1:52 pm

yes, glad there were no headlines that started with "stupid tourists from TX..." lol
1:52 pm

You too can be on the news.
1:54 pm

Scrabbler
Oh, no, Bichon.
1:58 pm
Scrabbler
Was it at The Hedges, Blah?
1:58 pm
bichon
It was very sad as he had been with us for over 7 years
1:59 pm

That is sad!
1:59 pm

I wonder what happened to little Polo?
1:59 pm
hego
Hiya Soodle, dear.
1:59 pm
bichon
It was a sad event, but I was scared of him and had to worry about granddaughter
2:00 pm
hego
Do dogs get senile?

Hello over there, Soodle. Three of my friends are touring Ireland in July for 10 days.

Oh, no, the snow has started falling again.
2:02 pm

ugh snow in april...downside of upstate NY
2:03 pm
Scrabbler
Soodle, they are going with a tour group, but I told them I know several several Irish folks.
2:03 pm
bichon
I think he would Sundown, like in dementia. He would get much worse later in the day.
2:03 pm
Soodle
Bloomin' iPad.... Scrabbler. I would be happy for you to give your buddies my contact details if I can do anything to make their visit better.
2:03 pm
therealblah
how old is he bichon?
2:04 pm
Scrabbler
Poor little Polo.
2:04 pm
bichon
8 1/2, but he's always been a problem.
2:05 pm
Soodle
That must have been a difficult decision to make, Bich. Hugs.
2:05 pm
Scrabbler
And now he has an aging brain.
2:06 pm
therealblah
it's a shame, but some dogs just can't be trained, like some people
2:06 pm
bichon
It wasn't that difficult for me, but not for Mr. Bich
2:06 pm
Scrabbler
But safety is #1 .
2:07 pm
Soodle
Well I guess when there were fears for little people - it was a no brainer.
2:07 pm
bichon
My g'daughter was bitten on the face by a friendly Lab and I didn't want to have that happen again
2:08 pm
Soodle
Case dismissed!
2:08 pm
hego
Scary for a small child.
2:09 pm
bichon
I wanted to try him on Prozac but the rescue group wanted him right away. I think they were afraid I would euthanize him
2:10 pm
Scrabbler
That is great that the group really focuses on rescues.
2:11 pm
Scrabbler
Even after 7 years, I mean, with an older dog.
2:11 pm
bichon
They raise a lot of money to rescue Bichon. But, I don't know about finding a home for a dog with such problems
2:11 pm
Scrabbler
He will have to be the only dog and with a patient owner.
2:12 pm
Soodle
On another note --- the youngest Soodle offspring is spending Summer 16 in the States. 8 weeks working at a Summer Camp in New Hampshire - then 5 weeks touring. NYC, LA, Vegas, Nashville, New Orleans.... Oh boy! It would almost be worth being 21 again! :-)
2:12 pm
bichon
I don't know about patience if you always have to be afraid to be near him
2:13 pm
Scrabbler
Wowee, how exciting.
2:13 pm
hego
Your kids are amazing Soodle.
2:13 pm
hego
I'm envious of them.
2:13 pm
hego
So young and such great experiences.
2:13 pm
Scrabbler
Bichon, will they try a medication? And at what point would they euthanize? Could a brain tumor cause biting?
2:14 pm
Soodle
Lol!!! Hego The Traveller is envious of my youngest daughter!!! Lol.
2:14 pm
bichon
I don't know. I had an appointment for him to be evaluation and perhaps be given Prozac, but they snatched him up.
2:14 pm
hego
But they get to do it while young!
2:16 pm
Soodle
Yep! I will be home alone for 3 months, which is a tad daunting, but I will be with her in spirit every step of the way.
2:16 pm
hego
LOL. I must go now. Off to the poconos this week. Have a great week All.
2:16 pm
Soodle
Happy travelling Hego The Traveller!!
2:17 pm

I will probably freeze my butt off. (wishful thinking)

Oh, wow, Bichon. How big will it get?

About 50 lbs. They are intelligent and cuddly. You should hear it oink. Marco is going to be there for 2 weeks while we go on the Danube cruise. Hope they get along. Marco has a very nice demeanor
2:28 pm
Scrabbler
The pig is an indoor pet?
2:28 pm
bichon
Yes, but he does go outside and enjoys the back yard. He is going to have the berries removed
2:29 pm
Scrabbler
58 left and I need to get some housecleaning done. Maybe I will return tonight, otherwise see you tomrrow.
2:29 pm

Will the pig be trained to pee/poop outdoors?

He does go in the same place outdoors. But indoors, he has a wee pad

Just found out that 'texted' is not in the dictionary. How funny is that?
2:54 pm
MollyL
Not really funny. Texted is a made up word based on smart phone usage. Way before the Enable word list that has not been updated since the year 2000.
2:55 pm
kittychan
I just think it's funny because it's been a long time since I didn't use that word every day.

Trifioso

7:42 pm
Trifioso

7:43 pm
HarryHood
sometimes smug is ok. love your avatar today.
7:44 pm
HarryHood
nobody is doing preemptive school closings.
7:44 pm
Trifioso
thanks .made it for valentine
7:44 pm
Trifioso
that is what I was wondering - have you heard anything? Norwell canceled a bunch of games for tomorrow afternoon, but school is still on as far as I know.
7:45 pm
HarryHood
I'm assuming we'll have school. a snow day would be so very nice.
7:45 pm
HarryHood
I think it will be slush on the roads, though.
7:45 pm
sukee
Still snowing here
7:45 pm
sukee
But it is supposed to be above zero tomorrow and Tuesday
7:45 pm
Trifioso
At this point, another snow day won't matter. The one we had last week bumped us into having to come back for a Monday - might as well come back Tuesday too!
7:46 pm
HarryHood
they didn't give us off last week.
7:46 pm
Trifioso
what district are you in?
7:46 pm
sukee
Baseball season opened today, snow go away.
7:46 pm
HarryHood
and snowdaycalculator said 99%. tomorrow it says 44%
7:46 pm
HarryHood
I'm in a private school in brookline.
7:46 pm
HarryHood
no extra days tacked on for snow days
7:47 pm
Trifioso
Ah. do most of your students take public transportation to get to school then? or are driven?
7:47 pm
HarryHood
do they play baseball in teh snow?
7:47 pm
HarryHood
private bus or cars, mostly. some take the T.
7:48 pm
Trifioso
okay. we have quite a lot of walkers in our district.
7:48 pm
HarryHood
yes - some walkers too.
7:49 pm
HarryHood
mostly if brookline gives off, we're closed. but if brookline has a delay, we're usually on time.
7:49 pm
Trifioso
half the time I wish they would call it the night before. makes planning a ton easier.
7:49 pm
Trifioso
I haven't heard of any closings yet, have you?
7:50 pm
HarryHood
I see no closings. heartbreaking.
7:51 pm
Trifioso
we have 8th grade mcas this week - UGH - so a big part of my tomorrow will be spent putting the bins together for teachers
7:53 pm
Trifioso
I am going to sign off now. love to all
7:55 pm
HarryHood

make sure you try every plural even if you can't see it -- it's probably in there.
