2:08 am

chunk pineapple, marhmallow, shredded coconut, and walnuts is a common combo, usually in a base of raspberry gelatin and cream.
2:08 am

that's just part of it, add whipped cream sprite and bits of gelatin.
2:09 am

i've never had shredded pineapple. i'll have to buy one and try it.
2:09 am

oh... I hate whipped cream. But the rest sounds great. Real food for the gods.

no raspberry in this one, it stays white with flecks of yellow.

in short, BabbleRabble: it is dark, with lots of down people acting upbeat because it has to be festive, it brings back lots of bad memories, and it is a month with lots of obligations and hectic things, while I feel the urge to go inside and be quiet, as nature demands.

Have you talked to anyone about S.A.D., sprite?
2:31 am
sprite

S.A.D., BabbleRabble? What is that?
2:32 am
BabbleRabble

seasonal affective disorder contributed to by a lack of sunlight and melanin production
2:33 am
sprite

will ask my doctor about it, thanks for the tip.
2:33 am
BabbleRabble

each year about this time I do two things. first, I talk about increasing meds or using a sunlamp
2:34 am
sprite

a sunlamp, now that is a good idea! And second?
2:34 am
BabbleRabble

and I write down what has contributed to the stress and expectations of xmas
2:35 am
BabbleRabble

a sunlamp and an increase in meds works better for me
2:35 am
BabbleRabble

I share with those that expect and remind myself what happened long ago does not have to haunt me now
2:37 am
BabbleRabble

and then I plot a course that accommodates my need to be alone.
2:37 am
sprite

that sounds good, BabbleRabble. I would handle it better if it were not necessary to celebrate it abundantly for the kids... I am more happy with a lot of candles, no tree, and no special meals, but quiet or music that calms me, and lots of introspection.
2:39 am
sprite

hey, so you need to be alone as well in those days? I'd love to spend Xmas in solitude, just allowing the tiny spark of light to be born into the darkest of nights.
2:39 am
BabbleRabble

christmas for many reasons was not a happy time
2:39 am
sprite

thank you very much for reaching out to me and sharing this. I appreciate it very very much.
2:39 am
BabbleRabble

but that was then and this is now
2:40 am
sprite

same here... it is important for me to learn to leave the past in the past.
2:40 am
BabbleRabble

I can choose an accommodation among competing demands
2:41 am
jillibus

sprite -- see http://tinyurl.com/4r8xg -- and if you google seasonal affective disorder there are many other sites
2:41 am
sprite

you have struggled through a lot, that speaks clearly from your words. I hope I can learn to be able to choose as well, in time.
2:44 am
sprite

thanks to you too, jilli, good link. Will go see my doctor about med increase and light. And of course continue to work on the memory-related issues.

dcs, I like your livejournal page... is it easy to use? and do you get much response from it?
5:00 am
dcseain

i like the interface, herin uses LJ also, and so does...oh, i forget who she is on here :">
5:00 am
dcseain

some posts get no response, not infrequently the ones i most want response to, others get a plethora of resonse.
5:00 am
dcseain

i've met a lot of really neat people through it.
5:01 am
dcseain

some even in person. :)
5:01 am
dcseain

my friend nancy reposted a filk on Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love: http://tinyurl.com/2fqbc7
5:02 am
mrpresident

very cool! I do alot of poetry and writing myself. Would love to share it
5:03 am
dcseain

Suzette Haden Elgin does some of her writing through LJ. We helped her edit some of her poems for her recently publist 21 Novel Scienc Fiction Poems. She's ozarque on LJ.
5:04 am
dcseain

she writes about eldering, linguistics, sci-fi, mostly. had a nice series about her fear of cows a while back.
5:05 am
dcseain

did a nice series entitled "My Life as a Martian", about her time in France with her first husband, who was French.
5:05 am
mrpresident

oh very interesting! :)
5:06 am
dcseain

and she has a fabulous community of readers and commenters.
5:06 am
dcseain

she's one of the journals through which i've forged some relationships, and cemented a few others.
5:08 am
dcseain

you can set up a free account on LJ if you'd like to try it out, or they have a level that lets you see ads for more functionlity
5:08 am
dcseain

i pay the US$20/yr for full functionality and no ads.
5:08 am
dcseain

hm. supervisor is late, she's usually here at 6. Traffic must be bad due to the rain.
5:09 am
mrpresident

how do you invite people to be a friend?
5:10 am
dcseain

basically, let them know you're there. Many of us dislike their use of 'friend', as really, one is subscribing to the journal, and using friend really loads the 'unfriending' in a bad way when one dumps a subscriber.
5:10 am
dcseain

when i first set up my account, i commented in other's journals, and didn't post for about 4 months.
5:11 am
dcseain

but, everyone is different, so your mileage/methodology may vary :)
5:12 am

5:19 am

5:19 am
mrpresident

5:23 am

5:23 am

5:37 am
Sandieangel

yes plz - that last li4/6 - just can't monkey it.
5:38 am
dcseain

hm
5:39 am
dcseain

li*seed, sometimes vowel
5:41 am
dcseain

or, remove 2nd vowel from the 5 before it.
5:41 am
Sandieangel

oh ty dcseain - I never thought of doing that!
5:43 am
dcseain

i, OTOH, had trouble w/the 5, as keeping that vowes did not occur to me.
5:43 am
dcseain

or that vowel, even
5:48 am
lideola

i officially declare the wh combo utterly ridiculous
5:48 am
lideola

and good morning everyone
5:49 am
dcseain

morning, lideola, and i concur
5:49 am
Sandieangel

Hey lideola!!!!
5:49 am
Sandieangel

Oh haven't got to the wh combo yet.
5:51 am
lideola

its a silly yet mind taxing combo, i have 2 left that i have abandoned for later
5:52 am
Sandieangel

ah well at least I know that I need to look for something weird then!
5:52 am
dcseain

i'm happy to clue if you desire, lideola
5:53 am
Sandieangel

I'd be glad to accept the clue as well dcseain!
5:53 am
lideola

ty- no need now- just doing my initial run through, i start to panic when i open up Lickety and still can't get the words. Thanks for the offer!
5:53 am
dcseain

the Ws were odd today, normally, i finish that letter first, today it was among the last.
5:53 am
Sandieangel

that is for the weird wh combo.
5:53 am
dcseain

:)
5:54 am
dcseain

wi5/18 threw me for a loop
5:55 am
dcseain

ah! It's Irish English, hence, it's odd to me.
5:56 am
lideola

i wonder if the similar si is irish english
5:56 am
lideola

i am morefamiliar with the si
5:57 am
dcseain

the si has no definition according to dictionary.com and google
5:57 am
lideola

yeah, i am more used to seeing it with an h at the end
5:57 am
dcseain

dictionary suggest sie*** nevada.
5:58 am
bonkler

si is an archaic form of address to a gentleman
5:59 am
bonkler

h is an option
5:59 am
lideola

so glad that babble is around to keep the archaic and obsolete words alive!
6:00 am
BabbleRabble

obsolete —used as a form of address implying inferiority in the person addressed
6:00 am

Hello Biltong - haven't seen you around so much since you got back from SA.
6:49 am
Biltong

Been quite busy. Also been down with a bad ear infection. But should have more time available from now on. I have been checking on the grid most days.
6:50 am
Haz1558

The ear infection doesn't sound too good. Did it affect your balance?
6:51 am
flosey

good morning all
6:51 am
Biltong

Yes. It is just an awful sensation. Also had what felt like "electric shocks" going through my body. It really wasn't fun.

6:59 am
Karys

I can't seem to get going again after my first flurry ( oo, thats not there is it ? )
7:00 am
Haz1558

No flurry, but lots of spinning about.
7:00 am
Karys

7:00 am
Karys

dreadful news about those little boys on the motorway
7:01 am
Haz1558

I've been out, Karys, what happened?
7:02 am
Karys

Two little boys, 6 and 7, pushing their scooters across the motorway in the dark, yesterday evening.
7:03 am
Haz1558

Good gracious! Were they killed?
7:03 am
Karys

yes, hit by three cars
7:03 am

Three cars....Wow. Not a single person could see them?
7:04 am
Biltong

How awful!
7:04 am
Karys

Just so dreadful
7:04 am
Uniquity

And was no-one watching them at all?
7:04 am
Karys

Just out playing Uniquity
7:05 am
Haz1558

Motorways are very fast, Uniquity, they shouldn't have been anywhere near.
7:05 am
Uniquity

I understand that you can't always watch kids, i've been watching my brothers for years...but they never get to play near a road, let alone a motorway.
7:06 am
Karys

Apparently they had been warned about the motorway
7:06 am
Haz1558

You're right, Uniquity. It's horrible.
7:06 am
Atalante

I think kids get a bit more autonomy here. There was a wood between their houses and the motorway, and they went adventuring in the woods, like usual. Just somehow ended up by the motorway
7:07 am
Uniquity

That's horrifying. My heart goes out to all involved.
7:07 am
LoriP

Wow, I picked a terrible time to pop in. that breaks my heart.
7:08 am
Karys

Yes, Uniquity, you have to feel for the drivers too
7:08 am

I completely blame myself for this situation. I have been sick for over 15 years.
We have come to a conclusion that as I can't work, we have to sell as single income doesn't work in Australia.
I so wish I wasn't sick, but my children come first and I will do anything to protect their future and education

Well it does no good to blame yourself for something that you didn't choose so stop whipping yourself. Just keep moving forward the very best you can and it should come out right in the end.

You are the epitome of what excellent parenting is all about, mrp... you cannot take any burden of guilt for what life has dealt you... you and your husband are dear, dear people.

I was "lurking" the other day and saw your spectacular rant about the trainwreck of Britney Spears and the obligations of motherhood, the stunned reaction to her losing her children, and your outrage over her appalling lack of mothering instincts... that said it all.

Beautifully said, harvey.

8:51 am
mrpresident

I have been struggling with the idea of the 'sinking feeling' we have been having.
I have felt that we are crashing to earth with an amazing thud... Lickety has done all he can to keep us from this.
I feel so much for him cause as a man, it can be a massive feeling of failure.
I know it is me that has brought us here. All I want is to be together and more than anything, to be healthy for my kids.
I hope we are ok, and I know we will do what we can to have a happy home, no matter where we lay our roots
8:51 am
FMitch

You will be surprised how better you two will feel as the mill stone of decidion and worry is slowly lifted away.

Good one, bbnaz! Sorry, I misappropriated the cluing... :-)

I would pray every day that we keep our house.... now it is being sold.
If only shit hadn't happened.
There are many out there who are worse off, so I will keep my chin up and know we are glued together and our seams are bound by love

i lived in new orleans my whole life...then the storm :( i tried to stick around for a few months and rebuild but it gets very depressing seeing the damage...i am now in the houston area...medical care in NOLA is hard to come by still...hospitals are still closed and doctors also lost their homes...
9:02 am

She really is a lovely looking dog :)

9:05 am
amelu0218

I understand. I live/work in S. MS (shipyards) and have co-workers who lost everything. I am fortunate that my home is further inland and only suffered wind damage. I've only been over that way (NOLA) since the storm and it is still looks like it was bombed...
9:06 am
triplebock

i really miss S MS....esp. gulfport and biloxi, used to go to waveland for day trips...i was too afraid to go abck to see...i wish i had some time so I could go on a trip to help that area rebuild. i am glad to hear that you were OK, amelu...
9:06 am
mrpresident

oh tbock! I just pray for those people and hope their lives come back together with some resemblance of love and respect! It is so so sad what they have been through.
I think of them often
9:06 am
Scarlet

Mrpresident, I am totally behind the superb idea of MarcFreeman... as a community, we can bond together to offer some type of small help... one grain of sand, alone, is miniscule... but in bulk, it surrounds the seven seas... don't be too proud to enquire... you never know the outcome until you start the process.

My kids are incredibly good and loving. They are all I think about

My children coming to me and giving me 'maddie' and 'lukie' cuddles and kisses. they last for about 15 minutes and they tell me how much they love me and that I am the bestest mum in the whole world, that they are so lucky to have me as a mum... that all their friends love me too and they would never ever see themselves with another mum cause I am the bestest greatest mum in the whole universe!
they love me to the moon and back and 10000000 million times around the universe.
I cry every night.

amelu0218

The area I'm in has been growing exponentially for about 20 years, everyone wanting to get out in the country... Unfortunately, there is only one road in and traffic is insane. I refuse to leave my house after I get home from work so everything has to be taken care of (groceries or whatever errands) on the way home... Since the storm, people can't afford to buy! My homeowner's insurance has gone up $1600 since Katrina (it's now $2800 for a $60K house). I have friends who had to refinance their house because their insurance went so high that they couldn't afford the escrow on top of the mortgage note. So, yeah, property values are higher but no one who wants to live here can afford to do so... I mean, for the most part, we're laboring shipyard workers... it's not like everyone makes $100K a year...

howdy everyone.. I have been back and forth, frustrated as I don't have time to chat. I wanted to send mrp words of support and now is it too late? We are in the midst of a huge fight here that has been occupying most of my time. Also related to the unexpected.. we built this retirement home out in a lovely area and now it is threatened by the permitting of a bunch of dirt mines! The zoning apparently is not correct, but the burden for undoing the mess falls on the residents .. too much to go into but arrrgh!

have found in this area the price of houses has risen dramaticly
9:52 am
Scarlet

You know, Aloy, these da**ed situations tend to feed themselves and the major winners are the legal beagles who ultimately reach the end of continuances and stall tactics... even the proposals factor in the lag-time with legalities... so, if the corporation says it wants to begin in 2008, the actual date is 2010... I have pulled my hair out on this many times.

9:53 am

well, Judi.. one of the angles of attack is against the zoning because it is absolutely incorrect.. we are in an "agricultural estate" zone (orange grove) and dirt mining is really not agricultural.. you don't eat dirt!

Vicuna, the video on Lickety's expert showed how to fold a t-shirt in 2 seconds.
11:46 am
Niamh

Vicuna, it was the video for finishing in babble expert yesterday
11:46 am
stidmama

hi vi!
11:46 am
Vicuna

I can fold a T-shirt in 2 seconds. I assume the video's method has few crumples, though!
11:46 am
stidmama

TWO.....
11:46 am
Vicuna

I don't get the videos. =(
11:46 am
Vicuna

Hello, all!

Bravo, Stid

11:48 am
cybernan

ar 5/10: h***** tweed

my guess is that shirt she folded was a silk blend... nothing else looks that smooth
11:48 am

*minus the v
11:49 am
Vicuna

What you need to leave out of that equation, BGL, is "clean house." I always do!
11:49 am
inge

why clean house? Is there an inspection coming up?
11:49 am
stidmama

I keep the kitchen clean (ish) does that count?
11:49 am
debjed

don't know french
11:49 am
Vicuna

Sure, stidmama. That's more than enough!
11:50 am
stidmama

speaking of which, I was planning on making some applesauce and quince jelly today. Ten minutes to clue...
11:50 am
inge

keeps you from tripping over lids and pots
11:50 am

french month is the same as ms. lavign (sp)
11:50 am
Niamh

kitchen is the most important room in the place... it's all that matters!
11:50 am
stidmama

well niamh, bathrooms, too. or don't you live with teenage boys? LOL
11:51 am
Haz1558

ar5/10 - plural of ar4/4 - ends up being an anagram of animal dens or what trains run on.
11:51 am

make them sit, stid
11:51 am

5-year-old boys do not have a nice effect on bathrooms, either. ewww...

Builds up immunities, at least!
11:52 am
stidmama

yep. we got two bathrooms when we bought our home. one for me.us and one for "them" of course, theirs is also the guest bath, so they have to keep it presentable.
11:52 am
Niamh

that's one way to look at it Vicuna!
11:53 am

Bye, Nan.
11:54 am
stidmama

so, clues anyone?
11:54 am
Takuma Sato

speaking of immunities -- anybody know if there's anything to be done to get rid of pink eye?
11:54 am
Niamh

If I find a cool video and want to share it with lickety does he have a link for where to send it?
11:54 am
stidmama

pink eye is highly contagious. in the united states at the moment, antibiotics are the only way
11:54 am
Niamh

Taku, there is a prescription eye drop you can get
11:54 am
debjed

i'm still clueless. well i have your clues but am too dense to get them. sorry.
11:55 am
Takuma Sato

yeah -- I know it's really contagious. I think we have the viral kind though, so no antibiotics for us
11:55 am
stidmama

if it's just redness from allergies or something, then damp teabag, cooled first in the fridge, can help
11:55 am
Takuma Sato

thanks for the suggestion -- I'll go talk to a doc
11:55 am
Vicuna

You need to go to a doctor to test which kind it is and make sure there aren't secondary infections.
11:55 am
debjed

got the ar now
11:55 am
Takuma Sato

unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it's pinkeye, at this point
11:55 am
Takuma Sato

I will try the tea bag though

does the sw5/18 have any relation to the sw6/36?
12:06 pm
Niamh

so just curious, how many of you all have heard of and-or read the epic story/poem of the Adventures of Beowulf?
12:06 pm
inge

I changed my icon from the UN in Vienna, to a goldfish in the US, Does it show?
12:07 pm

yes, inge.
12:07 pm

*raises hand* Why?
12:07 pm

Very nice, Ata!

Me too

12:08 pm
ursh

Hello all back for last 40
12:08 pm
Vicuna

Thanks, Ata. Your icon is great, too! lol
12:08 pm
FMitch

Nope sorry smugness only between the hours of 7-9pm
12:09 pm
Vicuna

Sure, go ahead and be smug. Knowledge of Anglo-Saxon won't get you much else, so you may as well enjoy the smugness.
12:09 pm
Atalante

ok, I'll just store it up
12:09 pm
FMitch

We missed Haz :(

So Niamh why the question?
12:09 pm
Vicuna

I was going to take Old English in college, but took Sanskrit instead. That didn't do me any good, either!
12:09 pm
Atalante

*gasp* A/S is particularly useful! Well, it must be ... somewhere ...
12:10 pm
Niamh

I saw trailer of the movie, my fiancee said soemthing about the story... I hadn't hear of it, so I looked it up and now I'm reading it
12:10 pm
Atalante

which version are you reading?
12:11 pm
Niamh

owulf/beowulf.html

FMitch

Ata will hold a master class if you want one.
12:12 pm
Vicuna

We had a friend with a 30 pound cat named Grendel.
12:12 pm
Atalante

try and get hold of Seamus Heaney's translation if you want one that doesn't have zombies in
12:13 pm
inge

I only know of Beowulf in its possible relation to Siegfried in Germanic literature
12:14 pm
Vicuna

*huh* They've all got more brawn than brain.
12:14 pm
Niamh

Seamus Heaney's hun? is this version I'm reading any good?
12:16 pm
Atalante

I think any version is good. But there are 1 or 2 that really manage to evoke the age of Beowulf. So if you like the online version you're reading, you might like to get one of the more famous translations and enjoy that too
12:17 pm
Atalante

(and the film is fab, though nothing like the book)
12:18 pm
Niamh

If I ran over to the book store at lunch they would have one of the more famous translations right??
12:18 pm
ursh

btw Ata - antique glaze (chocolate) toned down my orange bathroom walls just beautifully - they actually look great now
12:19 pm
Niamh

mmm.. chocolate and orange... I think I'm hungry!
12:19 pm
Atalante

they should do, but see if you enjoy it first before spending money!
12:20 pm
Vicuna

Or try your local library.
12:21 pm
Atalante

thats a good idea Vi
12:21 pm
Niamh

I'm on "episode 4" of this online deal and so far I love it. and I don't mind spending the money because I am a big fan of half price books as well... they take trades!
12:22 pm
Atalante

yay :) well, I'd recommend Heaney's book. I'm sure others have got different opinions, but his is very beautiful and his use of language is lovely
12:23 pm
Niamh

Thanks Ata, I'll look for his version first then!
12:24 pm
Atalante

and he has quite a long introduction explaining a lot about the poem. thats equaly interesting if you can wade through it
12:25 pm
Niamh

cool! thanks!
12:25 pm
elara6

I was curious and ended up finding that online just now, or at least something similar by Heaney. You can see it at: http://www.wwnorton.com/college/englis
h/nael/beowulf/welcome.htm
12:26 pm
Atalante

if you like Tolkien, you'll recognise quite a bit of his Meduseld scenes in Beowulf ...
12:27 pm
Takuma Sato

I've heard great things about Heaney's book, too
12:27 pm
Atalante

thats the intro, elara. its interesting in its own right!
12:28 pm
Atalante

there are more perfectly accurate translations than Heaney's, but I think his is the most beautiful, and isnt that what oral tradition is about?
12:28 pm
elara6

Sure is! Makes me want to read the poem again, especially since I don't think I've ever read his version. :)
12:29 pm
Atalante

brb got to shove salmon into soup
12:29 pm
Takuma Sato

sounds painful!
12:32 pm
Madi95

can i have a clue for sw6/36 please? it's driving me crazy
12:32 pm
Takuma Sato

adj form of the sw5/18
12:33 pm
Niamh

it's what they call it when a bully puts someone's head in a toilet and flushes it
12:33 pm
ExWren

put the sometimes vowel on the end of the sw5/18
12:33 pm
Takuma Sato

lol - I was about to offer that same clue, nia
12:33 pm
Madi95

ty
12:33 pm
lonestarmamma

ok so i dont get this whole 5/18 type thing can someone explain it to me pls
12:34 pm
Takuma Sato

that means: 5-letter word, worth 18 points
12:34 pm
Niamh

lonestar, that's # of letters/amount of points
12:34 pm
Madi95

5/18 means the word is 5 letters long and is worth 18 points
12:34 pm
Takuma Sato

so 'sw5/18' means a 5-letter 18-point word beginning with 'sw'
12:35 pm
lonestarmamma

oh
12:36 pm
Madi95

if i didn't use lickety's list (my only way to finish the puzzle) i wouldn't know that either
12:36 pm
Madi95

i just got my first fireworks last night
12:37 pm
Niamh

YaY Madi!
12:38 pm
lonestarmamma

ok so what is lickety list???
12:38 pm
Madi95

there's a link at the bottom for it. it's very helpful
12:39 pm
Madi95

it tells you the first two letters of every word and their length, and point value
12:41 pm
kimberblue

out of curiosity- how does lickety generate that list? and how does he get it up so soon every night?
12:42 pm
Madi95

idk, but i would sure love to find out.
12:42 pm
Niamh

lickety wrote a program, and he has to manually double check it and post it... but it's not night for him, he's in Australia
12:42 pm
Atalante

well, he has a babble solver programme, and it automatically populates the list. it only takes a few secs
12:43 pm
kimberblue

ah-ha- he always pops in a little after midnight for me- that's dedication!
12:44 pm
Madi95

Wow! My monkey typing is actually doing some good today.
12:44 pm
Niamh

you feed your monkeys well or something Madi?
12:45 pm
Atalante

he tries to do it as soon after the flip as possible, but sometimes life and football gets in the way
12:45 pm
Madi95

By the way, the icon theme is monkeys typing. I'll brb. I'm going to change it.
12:45 pm
Atalante

I thought it was fish!
12:46 pm
Niamh

oh, that sounds like a fun icon... I guess I could let Aayla have the day off....

i want a claddagh around my big toe...so its gotta be fairly basic...but i know id like some celtic knotwork worked in tehre, if possible...
1:02 pm
Atalante

its always possible to put knotwork in things. I'm slowly learning that!
1:02 pm
Niamh

no, there's way more interesting things... eeven Bantha's are more interesting than the Jedi-Sith fights.. they've been over done
1:03 pm
Atalante

too right. soooo dull. I'd love to draw Obi-wan but I just can't. Everyone has done a portrait of O-w. I refuse
1:03 pm

i think even we get it much after its shown over in asia
1:11 pm

oh yes. but then again they have anime on 24 hours a day over there
1:11 pm

3:17 pm
Niamh

I'd offer to send you some, but they are WAY better fresh
3:18 pm
Madi95

Ingredients:
20 cups popped popcorn
1 1/2 cups light-colored corn syrup
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 7-ounce jar marshmallow creme
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups candy-coated milk chocolate pieces or candy-coated peanut butter-flavored pieces


Instructions:
1. Remove all unpopped kernels from popped popcorn. Place popcorn in a buttered 17x12x2-inch baking pan or roasting pan. Keep popcorn warm in a 300 degree F (150 C) oven while preparing marshmallow mixture.

2. In a large saucepan bring corn syrup and sugar to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in marshmallow creme, butter, and vanilla until combined.

3. Pour marshmallow mixture over hot popcorn; stir gently to coat. Cool until popcorn mixture can be handled easily. Stir in candies. With damp hands, quickly shape mixture into 3-inch-diameter balls. Wrap each popcorn ball in plastic wrap. Store at room temperature up to 1 week.


3:18 pm
Niamh

1 c. butter
2/3 c. evaporated milk
1 1/2 c. white sugar
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
1 c. corn syrup
Vanilla

Combine all the ingredients except the vanilla. Cook to a firm ball stage. Prepare in a large heavy canner. Pour in about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 of the large Tupperware bowls full of popcorn. Stir until all the popcorn is well coated. Pour out onto buttered cookie sheets and spread to cool. Can make into balls or leave on the sheets and pull off as you like.

8:34 pm
pam

yes, to me it looks gerbilly, or hamstery, to me
8:36 pm
Jacula

LOL, pam. I found the fish more trouble with the cleaning out of the tank and all the horrible diseases that can befall them (the fish not the tanks) more trouble than gerbils, hamsters, mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, dogs...
8:36 pm
pam

I would agree with that, jac
8:37 pm
Jacula

At least when you're cleaning out a hutch or a litter tray, or putting your plastic bag around doggy 'offerings' you don't get a mouthful of it up a pipe if you mistime things! Tank cleaning takes longer, too.

Good day here, too, despite bad night before, dcs. I'd been typing invoices, so lots of figures, and my brain wouldn't settle. Then, 5 times, afte partner got up for work at 3.15am, I had the sensation of something (a cat, I think) jumping onto the bed and walking over me up the duvet. Thing was, surviving cat was shut away in his 'bedroom'. Made my heart pound a bit, did that.

Just after my Dad died, dcs, (and he was always a practical joker when he was himself, before the Alzheimer's got him) I had my foot sticking out of the end of the bed from under the duvet and someone pinched it hard. Then, next night, did the same to my fingers when my hand was hanging over.

9:10 pm

9:11 pm
Jacula

dcs - He sleeps in the utlity room. I don't like pets in the bedroom. I used to sleep with my old dog (the one from childhood) in the bed and she used to lie on her back with one leg in the air, holding the sheets up and causing a cold draught, and SNORING.
9:11 pm
dcseain

lol, yes, i can understand that, jacula.
9:11 pm
Inge2

what a word "designed to be stuffed up the nose"
9:12 pm
Jacula

The cat we have now is a bit of a roamer and, despite best efforts, often has fleas etc. Not welcome in bedroom! He also can't just lie still, always has to tread with his claws out and fuss.
9:12 pm

hm. nasal suppositories.

9:13 pm
dcseain

i've slept with at least one cat my whole life. In HS, they measured our lung capacity. i had a capacity on par with someone who grew up at i high altitude, which i did not, having grown up in a river valley. Apparently the then 12 years of 18lb cat sleeping on my chest caused my body to adjust.

We have a garage here local to us, Gracelands Garage. They hire out American limos and stretch limos. They have Evlis on the roof and The Blues Brothers were often found doing silly things outside. However, about 2 or 3 years ago, some twits decided that Elvis should leave the building and climbed up, got him down and dismembered him. When the police assembled all the found part his head was missing. New head doesn't match.:(

My b.f is waiting till after we move to get a new job due to the fact he is the only sodding competent one in the state to do his job
9:58 pm

Apart from a weird neighbour or two who complained about 'traffic slowing down to look and be distracted by the figures'. Health & Safety crap.
9:59 pm
Jacula

Herin - what is his job?
9:59 pm

traffic slowing down usually leads to safer streets, so why do they gripe. silly people.

10:00 pm

Not sure where we are to move yet. He designs positions in houses for heating/cooling ducts.

10:01 pm
timhorton

the last itme iwas chatting you were waiting for a recponse from your text msg to your guy?
10:02 pm
Jacula

dcs - sad people (or person, I think). Same, I think, also complained about local bus driver setting man with walking difficulties down at an 'anauthorised stop'.
10:03 pm
herinfernallady

Basically you buy a heating unit then he gets your house plan and based on the size of the house he inserts (using complex math) the ducts needed to get the right spot. He is the only one that can do it quickly without charts. Also everything is done by hand. He has to do the big lists of what needs to go out (like a shopping list) and order them to. All done by hand counting
10:03 pm
dcseain

oy gevalt! some people. ah, well.
10:03 pm
dcseain

wow, talented guy, lady! that's not easy to do.
10:04 pm
Jacula

Unauthorised stop. I meant. It means the man can get to do his shopping without a 3 min walk back, but probably 20 min walk to him.
10:04 pm
herinfernallady

No its not easy and most times he trains someone and they are not quick enough or last half a day and go home crying
10:06 pm

my friend len has mobility issues due to gout and arthritis. Saw him at a camping event earlier this month, and it took 3 of us to assist him from the cabin he slept in, to the car, to shuttle him the 30m to the main building for meetings and food. So drivers willing to drop at unauthorized stops are a godsend for people like that, as i know you know.
10:06 pm
Jacula

They are, dcs! Shame old grump doesn't know it.
10:07 pm
dcseain

well, lady, as you know, some people just are not willing to put in the effort, nor does that type take much satisfaction in a job well done.
10:07 pm

Jac is this a family member?
10:07 pm
Jacula

Herin - no. Just a local old guy.
10:08 pm
herinfernallady

OH.
10:08 pm
Jacula

But, it's a small village and some of us are still human.
10:08 pm
dcseain

does anyone just chat with cranky old guy? hm likely not, as he's just crotchety, and not so much lonely, or if lonely, it's his attitude that causes it then, eh?
10:08 pm
Jacula

Everyone gets to know almost all of everyone's else's business in villages like this.
10:09 pm
herinfernallady

Oh for sure Jac
10:09 pm

dcs - cranky old guy? Not sure who he is yet, as it's someone 3 villages away.

i'm sure, jac! it must be much like where my father grew up. My sister or i hits the county line, and half the count knows w/in minutes.
10:10 pm

There are good and bad points to village life, I guess.
10:10 pm
Jacula

I'd still rather be in a village than a city.
10:12 pm

I am watching wife swap, No back chat as 'explaining your misdiscipline (thats not the right word) is heinous. All 5 kids are home schooled no wonder people get a bad idea about home schooling watching this mum shes a scary lady
10:12 pm
Jacula

at least the old lady over the road won't rot for months at the bottom of her stairs should she trip down them and die! I'd notice she wasn't out and about, so would the postwoman and the milkman and other neighbours. Plus, we have a key.
10:13 pm
dcseain

yes, jacula, that is verily an advantage of a village over the urb in which i live.
10:13 pm

Heerin - yes. Put the shirt into your tumble dryer on lowest heat seating for 10-20 mins. All the fluff will then be in the filter and not on the shirt.
10:50 pm
herinfernallady

that is a wonderful idea i cant 1 we dont have a dryer and 2 its got a print on it that is hear sensative
10:51 pm
Jacula

Saves ages of swatting away with sticky tape wrapped around hand or lint roller. Also, since it's a printed shirt, will work like a dream, Just remember, coolest seting for a very short time.
10:52 pm

Oh dear, Herin. Looks like it's a cold shirt and sticky tape around the hand then.

11:30 pm
jillibus

Why not serve self and sow wild tares,
Make pleasure my one aim?
What matters it? In truth, who cares
Or good or bad my name?

Who cares? I care. I only fare
Once here: that life shall be
The best it can; and I shall share
Man's rise to dignity.
