12:55 am
hurshy
so no, not related
12:56 am

which i tried, not expecting to work. Not to mention it's based on a folk etymology unrelated to the root of history.

I think that suddenly having to take care of me while he is not well himself is getting to him
3:02 am

slept well, rose, but lots of pain this morning. Waiting for the painkillers to kick in. Kinda sucks to have another full week of this to look forward to. Can't wait for that darn surgery.
3:07 am

surgery?
3:08 am

I went and broke my ankle, ru, and bad enough that they cannot set it without surgery and lots of metalworks.
3:08 am
rururocks
oh boy.. bad news
3:09 am

bad luck for sure. Doc said the leaves will be falling before I can navigate a few steps again.
3:10 am
rururocks
sounds painful
3:11 am
sprite
yeah. It is nasty.
3:15 am
sprite
the other ankle got contorted too, so right now I cannot move about at all. Once that one has healed, I should be able to get around on crutches. For now, a wheelchair. Ugh.
3:26 am

ah, the oddbal he8 is back
3:42 am

3:42 am

quiche a success?
3:44 am
grannyrose
i'm trying to remember what happened when i broke my ankle. plaster for 7 weeks, then a moon boot to my knee for six months. i was weight-bearing after the plaster. surgeon put in three staples and a roofing screw.
3:45 am
grannyrose
quiche no go with Braxton. Claudia ate about half hers. both had toast and now are demolishing a plate of fresh fruit. they have been grazing all afternoon so i didn't expect them to eat a big dinner.
3:45 am
sprite
will hear more after monday. But so far, they said they might not put it in plaster after the surgery. Just pressure bandages. not sure what that will mean for mobility.
3:46 am

oh, ye4ah, i had to wear the moon boot even in bed...that was fun......... not
3:47 am

ikr. Not much fun in the whole thing, lol.

6:45 am
sukee
Well, that word is in the OED :)
6:59 am
jwr
It goes back at least to the 70s
7:01 am
jwr
and besides coming into common usage, it has a singular definition, a neologism
7:02 am
jwr
Personally, I find it absurd and politically speaking, annoying.
7:06 am
MollyL
Considering that the derivation of the "his" word has nothing to do with males, I'm not a big fan of the "her" version
7:13 am
jwr
same as the misuse of "man" as male instead of "manual"
7:13 am
roncook
If i remember from those days of the 70s the male word is for whats past and the female is of what is to come.
7:15 am
jwr
Oh, what ruru could make of that!
7:16 am
roncook
"no" ! !.... just my take on it lol.....
7:17 am

ah. You caught me - i lived in Japan for most of the 70s. Frankly, I never thought I'd missed much.

we need to laugh at ourselves occasionally. And i could`nt resist a chance to throw my 2 penith in.

You have a worm farm Bea. Would like to have one
10:01 am
periwinkle
what do you do with the worms, Bzz?
10:02 am
bichon
I compost and it doesn't take that much space. I bought a compost bin
10:02 am
BzznBea
I have a large compost at the garden and then the worm farm in the basement.
10:02 am
BzznBea
Peri, I use the waste from the worms as a fertilizer.
10:02 am
bichon
What do you feed the worms?
10:03 am
MollyL
It's not the space, it's the smell. If I did composting it would be far away from where my living space was.

BzznBea
Scraps of whatever...
10:03 am

I have thought of composting too but I live in an apt
10:03 am

I only use vegetable matter and there's no odor
10:04 am

I don't use meat scrapts as it would attract vermin
10:04 am
BzznBea
Banana peels, veggie peels, some egg shells...
10:04 am
BzznBea
If you compost correctly, there is no smell.
10:05 am
bichon
Don't use egg shells, but everything else. I used to go to a farm to get llama dung
10:05 am
BzznBea
Bichon, do you add your vaccum waste to the compost?
10:06 am
bichon
No, have nough compost. At my age, I'm not doing any major garden projects
10:06 am
MollyL
How is it that rotting vegetable matter doesn't smell?
10:07 am
BzznBea
I also add wet newspaper, spoiled milk, used paper towels...
10:07 am
bichon
You add dirt to the compost and turn it. There's no smell, trust me
10:08 am
bichon
Don't use milk or wet newspaper.
10:08 am
BzznBea
You have to get a good "burn" going with green matter and soil. Adding cardboard also helps eliminate the smell.
10:09 am
bichon
I can't say I've ever had a smell, but my dog likes the smell
10:09 am
BzznBea
I don't use a lot of milk as we don't have it often. I peel my potatoes over newspaper in the sink and then roll it up to throw in the compost.
10:10 am

How quickly does the newspaer degrade. I just recycle it

but we compost through city pickup

It degrades pretty quickly, especailly if wet. Last week when I turned the compost, there was no newspaper evident and I usually add some every week.
10:13 am
bichon
Ca is great about that. They even take meat scras
10:14 am
BzznBea
We have to scrounge the neighborhood for newspapers. We take them from others recycle bins as we don't take the paper.
10:14 am

anything that once lived is composted

hi cyber

no --- have always had cats and love them, but in our new place they have to stay indoors and I can't do that to one -- I think that constitutes cruelty to the animal.
10:31 am
rururocks
it doesn't nan.. it's better for the cats to be indoors and safer
10:32 am
rururocks
ask any veterinarian
10:33 am
cybernan
don't see how they can be happier -- their natural inclination is to establish a territory and hunt. We'd probably have fewer mice and rats around if we were allowed cats!
10:34 am
rururocks
they also get into fights, and hit by cars and eaten by coyotes and harmed in other ways besides being exposed to ticks and fleas

10:36 am
MollyL
Doesn't the same thing apply to dogs, Ru?
10:36 am
rururocks
cats are quite happy in a house and set up territory there
10:36 am
rururocks
i believe in indoor dogs too.. mine are.. i do take them for walks but they're in the house with me 24/7 otherwise
10:37 am
MollyL
I'm not an animal person, but I just feel like anything that breathes needs fresh air on a regular basis. That's just me. I know a lot of people keep what they call "indoor cats".
10:38 am
rururocks
they get lots of air .. i take them out often..several times per day.. my dogs like to be where i am .. at my feet and sleeping
10:39 am
bichon

10:39 am
rururocks
i don't take them out to pee as much as Une does :D
10:41 am

But I have kids since I was a little girl
11:02 am
MLFAN17
molly they are nuts lol
11:03 am
MollyL
I'm sure you meant cats (not kids) MLF. We don't want to think about little girls having kids. : O
11:03 am
MLFAN17
ty trif that is two I didn't have
11:05 am
MLFAN17
molly I have wanted both in my life but not too many at the same time. At one int growing up, we had two dogs and two cats. One was a big dog the other a little dog. The cats were of normal size of course lol
11:05 am
rururocks
kids since you were a little girl.. your husband should be arrested

11:06 am
MLFAN17

Trifioso
a kid is a baby goat, mlf, right you are!
11:07 am
MLFAN17

11:09 am
rururocks

11:09 am
Trifioso
i would absolutely love to have goats, but I have many, many plants on my land that are harmful to them, poor things.
11:11 am
MLFAN17
trif i think the plants would be easier to take care of lol
11:13 am
Trifioso
they grow wild everywhere. it's a bummer
11:14 am
Trifioso
goats are absolutely fantastic with poison ivy, for example they eat it all day, no issues.
11:14 am
MollyL
I forget that people refer to pets as their kids.
11:15 am
MLFAN17
and goats run wild too Goats you have to catch at times plants you don't at all
11:15 am
cybernan
maybe a pig -- pet and scrap disposal all in one go
11:15 am
MLFAN17
molly i never refer to my cats as my kids but a lot of people do
11:15 am
MollyL
My nephew and his wife have 8 acres. They keep goats. And (alas) it looks like those are going to be their kids as well.
11:15 am
MLFAN17
cyber i have always wanted a pig or a rabbit
11:16 am
Trifioso
trust me mlf, there are PLENTY of plants in my yard that have run wild indeed.

We are having potatos soup with grilled homemade pimento cheese sandwiches.
4:14 pm
MollyL
I love potato soup. Especially on a cold day.
4:19 pm
BzznBea
We got a lot of potatoes and HUDGE carrots in a CSA box this week...
4:20 pm
BzznBea
I walk a thin line on potato soup as my Hubs likes his thick and my mom likes hers thinn.
4:28 pm
MollyL
I'm in the thick camp. With lots of onion and bacon in it. My potato soup is not for the lo-cal, lo-carb types.
4:29 pm
MollyL
We have a CSA farm nearby, but you get too much in the boxes for two people.
4:29 pm
MollyL
My son did a work study program there and loved it.
4:42 pm
BzznBea
Can you not designate how many people you have in your CSA, Molly?
4:43 pm
BzznBea
Are there neighbors you can share with?
4:43 pm
BzznBea
I'm all about feeding hungry people...
4:45 pm
MollyL
For this farm it's not about how many people are in it.
You pay a designated fee and you get so many boxes depending on which program you sign up for. The farm is supported by community donations.
4:46 pm
MollyL
Most of my neighbors are the "eat out a lot" type. They don't cook much.
4:47 pm
BzznBea
That's nice that you can have fresh produce like that. I assume it is a variety depending on what is in season?
4:49 pm
MollyL
It is only available during the summer/early fall months. The boxes also contain several things we don't eat, like eggplant and zucchini.
4:49 pm
BzznBea
You don't eat eggplant or zucchini!? WTH?!
4:50 pm

Eggplant and zucchini....yum!!
