2:32 am

grannyrose

2:33 am

sprite

ignoring me, hmmmmm?

2:33 am

2:33 am

2:33 am

grannyrose

2:33 am

sprite

bumpy.

2:34 am

grannyrose

ugh

2:35 am

sprite

yeah :( Ah well, this too shall pass, right? How is Don? And you still cruising and no flu symptoms?

2:35 am

grannyrose

what are you ding today? anything special?

2:36 am

sprite

very low profile today, methinks. Walking Terra after babble. Other than that, just laundry and such.

2:36 am

grannyrose

don still improving by leaps and bounds. and yes, honey, i'm still cruising and no flu...

2:37 am

sprite

awesome. Am so glad, for both of you.

2:38 am

sprite

it is getting cold here! Summer is officially over, time to close windows and doors, and wear warm stuff. Socks and shoes :(

2:38 am

grannyrose

i think he may be addicted to my lemon and honey drinks. it could be the large splash of Gentleman Jack i put in it, but only at night

2:39 am

sprite

*giggles* There are worse addictions.

2:40 am

sprite

ohhhhh nice chemical today!

2:41 am

grannyrose

2:42 am

sprite

phantom: meridian

2:42 am

sprite

yeah, happens to me sometimes too. Everybody saying oooo so easy and me going huh??

2:44 am

grannyrose

i think the cluster of h and three i's and the ou sequence made me uneasy.

2:44 am

sprite

hiiiiou!

2:46 am

grannyrose

i so wanted midden and reuse and and and...

2:46 am

sprite

midden and reuse, tried those too. Took me ages to find the right mi6, lol

2:47 am

grannyrose

and the double consonants get quite a good work out too.

2:48 am

sprite

it's not half bad for me, I even found the biggies myself and pretty early in the game

2:53 am

sprite

think I am gonna put on something warm. Ugh... am SO not ready for winter :(

2:56 am

grannyrose

okay. <------- sending hot vibes over to sprite.

2:57 am

sprite

6:04 am

sukee

Good morning all.

6:04 am

Anniebrook

good morning babblers

6:04 am

sukee

Hi Annie.

6:06 am

Anniebrook

Hi sukee, The Yankees are out. They're in 4th place. How are the Jays doing? Watched them play last week. *sigh*. good team.

6:06 am

sukee

We may be out by the end of the weekend, 2nd place in the Wildcard and playing the Red Sox...

6:06 am

Anniebrook

good luck with that.

6:07 am

sukee

Still, it was a fun season

6:07 am

sukee

We had injuries at the wrong time.

6:07 am

bichon

Are the Mets in the playoffs

6:07 am

Anniebrook

True.

6:08 am

Anniebrook

I dont think so, bichon. They were losing 6-1 when I turned off the game.

6:08 am

sukee

They are top of their wildcard

6:08 am

bichon

My father has turned over in his grave

6:08 am

Anniebrook

thanks, sukee

6:09 am

sukee

Ideally, the Jays and Baltimore finish top two in the wildcard and the Jays beat them in that one game :)

6:11 am

sukee

Think I am coming down with something. Had a very sore throat last night and this morning I have some aches, throat is less sore. Hoping it's a 24 hour thing.

6:11 am

Anniebrook

Take Tylenol. It will help with the ache and, of course, hot tea.

6:12 am

sukee

Have some tea right beside me right now.

6:12 am

sukee

Will go back to bed for a bit after I drink it I think.

6:12 am

sukee

And having my oatmeal.

6:13 am

Anniebrook

Hope it is just a passing thing. I felt the same the other day and the next day I was okay.

6:13 am

lbdawger

tea and honey! and in the evening add a bit of whiskey :)

6:13 am

lbdawger

good morning everyone

6:13 am

sukee

Wish I had some whiskey :)

6:13 am

Anniebrook

good morning, dawg

6:14 am

sukee

And have been gargling with salt water

6:14 am

lbdawger

hiya Annie and Sukee

6:14 am

sukee

Hi dawg

6:15 am

lbdawger

tadone! nice grid. was afraid of another monster like yesterday's

6:15 am

sukee

Of course, this weekend I have lots of work to do...

6:15 am

Anniebrook

congrats, dawg.

6:16 am

lbdawger

take it easy, Sukee. you want to beat the bug not get beaten up by it.

6:17 am

sukee

I was at the dentist the other day, I swear I got sick last time I was there.

6:18 am

lbdawger

that's an interesting correlation.

6:19 am

sukee

But, I guess like any public place you are exposed to whatever is out there

6:19 am

Anniebrook

Dentist

6:19 am

sukee

I also go to a senior's center to work out and have coffee there.

6:20 am

sukee

And I ride on a mobility bus...

6:20 am

sukee

So, basically I could have gotten it anywhere :)

6:20 am

sukee

The sore throat came on so suddenly

6:20 am

sukee

Good thing, no fever.

6:21 am

Anniebrook

I was going to say that the dentist sterilizes his equipment. Sore throats do come on suddenly. I you have Tylenol, take two. You should feel somewhat better.

6:21 am

lbdawger

ahh, life in public places. an agar for germs. but yet it also allows us to build up immunities

6:22 am

bichon

I o nce had a bad case of strep. Don't know where I picked it up and no one caught it from me. Was laid up for a week and had an infant to take care of

6:22 am

Anniebrook

oh dear, bichon

6:22 am

sukee

I have to say, it's been a while since I have been sick.

6:23 am

Anniebrook

going into the kitchen to start coffeemaking,

6:23 am

lbdawger

ugh, bichon! sick and with an infant too!

6:23 am

Anniebrook

sukee, please feel better soon.

6:23 am

sukee

And I feel sorry for myself when I am sick and alone :) I couldn't imagine having to take care of a baby.

6:23 am

sukee

Thanks Annie

6:23 am

sukee

I do have to worry about 2 cats though...

6:24 am

MollyL

The biggest hotbed for germs is an elementary school. It is unfortunate how many parents send their kids to school when those kids are sick.

6:24 am

lbdawger

i'm not very good at being a nurse. I pretty much wish to be left alone when I'm sick. but Hubby...when he's miserable everyone is miserable!

6:26 am

lbdawger

school is the ultimate baby sitter (of all ages). can't afford to stay home and take care of sick kids so send them to school. let the school take care of the whining, sniffling, snorky kids.

6:28 am

sukee

And on top of it all, my prescription reading glasses broke this morning. Thankfully I have store-bough reading glass that work.

6:29 am

sukee

But, good news, I heard I won a raffle at the senior's center yesterday. I get a basket of goodies. Don't know which one I won yet.

6:30 am

lbdawger

love the good news, sukee! bummer about the glasses, but good to have a spare! hmm, what was in the baskets?

6:31 am

sukee

There was a selection. Some had coffee, one had a nice t-pot, mostly food and drink related.

6:33 am

sukee

I have been buying raffle tickets there for years, first time I won anything.

6:36 am

lbdawger

ooh, those sound like nice gifts!

6:37 am

sukee

Sigh, my oatmeal has no taste

6:37 am

sukee

nor my tea

6:38 am

sukee

So, a few more minutes and I can go back to bed. The cats have been fed so wont bother me, hopefully.

6:39 am

Anniebrook

(((sukee)))

6:42 am

lbdawger

I think rest is definitely on your to do list Sukee. (((hugs))). welcome back Annie. and it's time for me to get moving. have a great day everyone!

6:42 am

sukee

I'll spend some time in bed with Bruce :) Reading Springsteen's book :)

6:42 am

sukee

Take care

6:43 am

Anniebrook

bye dawg

6:43 am

Anniebrook

I am going to put Springsteen's book on reserve at the library

6:44 am

sukee

I like it so far, well-written.

6:44 am

Anniebrook

I should buy it for my daughter. She loves Bruce.

6:44 am

sukee

Had some credits in my iTunes account so I bought it.

6:44 am

sukee

Also a new book on RFK.

6:45 am

Anniebrook

Yes, I saw that. Another reserve at the library then.

6:46 am

sukee

So cool yesterday. The plumber came in to replace a tap and saw that I had a lot of books about the Lost Generation. He knew exactly where the term came from. Not many people would know that. I like an educated man.

6:46 am

sukee

I need to read about RFK during this US election :)

6:47 am

Anniebrook

I was buying books but we got an enormous rent increase so now I reserve books. Gertrude Stein is the creator of the term Lost Gen.

6:47 am

sukee

Yep, but her mechanic is the person who first used the term that she took :)

6:47 am

sukee

My rent went up a bit too, thankfully so did my disability.

6:47 am

Anniebrook

really

6:49 am

sukee

Kind of embarrassed when the plumber came in, it was sudden and I had underwear in the bathroom sink :) And I was in my pajams.

6:49 am

Anniebrook

my increase was over $100 dollars/

6:49 am

sukee

wow, that is huge.

6:49 am

sukee

Mine was like $17.

6:49 am

Anniebrook

I am sure he has seen that before

6:50 am

sukee

LOL, and probably worse. :)

6:50 am

sukee

Miserable rainy day here, good day to stay in bed.

6:52 am

Anniebrook

weather is the same here. I was going to take Bobby out for breakfast but I have moved it up to lunch. The weather will be clearing up tomorrow.

6:52 am

sukee

We are making up for the lack of rain over the summer.

6:52 am

bichon

We need all the rain we can get

6:53 am

sukee

Okay, I am stuck at 69

6:53 am

MollyL

I love a rainy morning at home. Annie, if that hurricane comes up the coast we are in for tons more weather like this.

6:53 am

Anniebrook

We need rain here also. Going to fill up my coffee cup.

6:53 am

Anniebrook

Molly, I hope not. I still haven't recovered from Sandy. Be right back.

6:54 am

sukee

Okay, I am taking a break. Have a great day all.

6:56 am

Anniebrook

Feel better.

10:20 am

cybernan

10:21 am

12:04 pm

EvaNadine

I did end up worth a c-section, but I made a good old-fashioned college try at a vaginal birth. Lil guy was just TOO BIG.

12:06 pm

MollyL

It is all in how your OB/GYN decides to play it. Me, I gave vaginal birth to an 11 pound baby. And yes, all my parts worked just fine for other things after the fact. (Everyone always asks about that)

12:07 pm

rururocks

other things?

12:07 pm

medusa

Congrats Eva. Sounds painful Molly!

12:07 pm

medusa

Hi all

12:07 pm

EvaNadine

I was in labor for 24 hours, but he wasn't dropping.

12:09 pm

MollyL

Yes Ru, the "other things" you use those parts for. People assume that once you give vaginal birth to a baby that big you are not a contender for "getting busy".

12:11 pm

MollyL

A 24 hour labor before finally having to cave to a c-section is a long process Eva. Glad you and Wee Evan made it through okay.

12:12 pm

medusa

OMG! Just looked at the pic on your profile Eva. What a handsome little guy he is. xx

12:15 pm

Smdnjv

Sorry to break in on the chat, but I have to tell Eva that is one beautifull little guy in her profile pic. A blessing indeed!!

12:16 pm

MollyL

Why is that breaking in on the chat? It is what we were talking about.

12:17 pm

Smdnjv

I usually don't chat since stroke. You had a conversation going and I interrupted. But such a beautiful baby. Is that Eva's?

12:18 pm

EvaNadine

Thank you, all! I'm rather madly in love. :)

12:19 pm

medusa

I know that one. He is adorable. xx

12:20 pm

MollyL

It is such a different love than anything before, isn't it Eva?

12:20 pm

EvaNadine

It truly is!

12:21 pm

medusa

I think the best feeling ever is the rush you get when you hold your newborn for the first time. Such an over whelming feeling

12:22 pm

MollyL

As a writer, who tries to put words to feelings, I have found that there are no words to describe the feeling of looking at your newborn child for the first time. And many of the bonding occasions that happen after that.

12:22 pm

EvaNadine

Your heart just explodes. Every single time.

12:23 pm

medusa

So true Molly. It is something you have to experience to understand

12:23 pm

MollyL

Congratulations to Eva and Mr. Eva.

12:23 pm

medusa

I have had 4 children and got that feeling every time.

12:26 pm

Aloyisius

Eva.. congrats! So happy for you and the family!

12:40 pm

Kieran Leto

12:42 pm

Judi

Nice! Very original. Guessing that's not a Japenese Anime character.

12:42 pm

hego

Nope

12:42 pm

Judi

There appears to be a Jared Leto influence tho.

12:43 pm

hego

No, she said it had nothing to do with him, but I've forgotten the explanation.

12:44 pm

Aloyisius

scrolled back to see his pic.. beautiful beautiful babe

12:44 pm

hego

Big guy

12:45 pm

Judi

Yes. Just read back in the chat a bit. A happy ending, none-the-less.

12:46 pm

rururocks

I would have called him Brutus Leto.. considering he was a cesarean

12:47 pm

hego

Very original, Ru

12:54 pm

hego

12:54 pm

Aloyisius

12:54 pm

rururocks

I made a killer dinner last night hego

12:54 pm

hego

true, Aloy

12:55 pm

hego

what did you cook and for whom?

12:55 pm

Judi

Killer? You just met 'er!

12:55 pm

rururocks

for me .. although Doren is coming out for a visit and staying at Chez Ru for a day

12:55 pm

hego

yuk yuk!

12:56 pm

hego

Nice for Doren

12:57 pm

rururocks

12:57 pm

Judi

*jealous*

12:57 pm

rururocks

came out great too..

12:57 pm

Aloyisius

12:57 pm

hego

Pork tl is great when you don't have a lot to feed

12:57 pm

rururocks

I was craving pasta for some reason

12:58 pm

hego

So versatile.

12:59 pm

rururocks

I seared it on the grill with sesame oil (toasted) and then oven roasted it for 35 minutes at 325.. came out pink and perfectly tender

12:59 pm

hego

Great cut to work with

1:00 pm

rururocks

I know.. easy peasy

1:00 pm

rururocks

it was already trimmed for someone who didn't pick it up. so i didn't have to do a thing with it really

1:01 pm

hego

I brush it with mustard, rosemary and olive oil and roll it in breadcrumbs and bake it.

1:02 pm

Aloyisius

dijon mustard?

1:02 pm

rururocks

that sounds great. I do rosemary all the time too with pork and lamb

1:02 pm

hego

Always for cooking.

1:03 pm

hego

Do you grow it?

1:03 pm

rururocks

i'll have to try bread crumbs sometime on it.. i do it with lamb chops

1:03 pm

hego

try Panko too.

1:03 pm

Aloyisius

love rosemary with the Tuscan dish, Pesce Spade con Potate.. fish, potatoes and tomatoes baked in a wine and rosemary sauce

1:03 pm

rururocks

no.. but i will.. going to put in a garden later this fall

1:03 pm

rururocks

panko is nuts though isn't it?

1:03 pm

hego

Glad I just ate. :)

1:04 pm

hego

Panko is a Japanese untoasted breadcrumb.

1:04 pm
