getting ready to put my father into place, I guess. And recuperating from a very panicky day. But I'll live. And you?

2:31 am

elder

Sprite, well I hope today meets you more kindly.

2:32 am

sprite

so do I :) How are you, elder? Will get back to your email after I am fully awake :)

2:32 am

elder

Sprite, is your Father visiting or still the phone calls.

2:33 am

elder

Sprite. am so so. No rush:)

2:33 am

sprite

no, he has written some letters, out of the blue. I think I should answer, to get some things out of my system. Intended not to, but it seems I cannot let go without doing something about it.

2:34 am

jillibus

flosey -- do you like lamb with mint sa***?

2:35 am

jillibus

hi sprite -- was in the grid so missed your entrance

2:35 am

2:35 am

sprite

then I have hugged you without your noticing, jilli, lol.

2:35 am

flosey

ty ty

2:36 am

elder

Sprite, very cathartic.

2:36 am

jillibus

it's the only sa word I have, flosey

2:36 am

sprite

and the past tense, ladies

2:36 am

flosey

and past tense

2:36 am

jillibus

I scrolled back, sprite, and certainly noticed!

2:36 am

jillibus

ty flosey, duh!

2:37 am

sprite

yes, I think so too, elder. So I am getting ready to pour it all into a letter and get it out of my system. If it gets into his, I don't even care much. As long as I can feel that for once I have told him.

2:37 am

jillibus

and the third sa is pretty cheeky

2:37 am

flosey

ah, thanks jilli

2:39 am

jillibus

I'm nodding off -- heading for bed now --happy babbling, all!

2:39 am

sleep well jilli

2:39 am

2:39 am

Just make sure you don't feel bad after you have posted the letter.:)

2:40 am

flosey

lol sprite - good advice

2:40 am

flosey

perhaps tomorrow they'll pop out at me - hahaha

2:40 am

sprite

I will, elder :) That is certainly not going to happen. I keep dreaming about him and all the rotten things he did, and I think telling him how it has been for me will make me feel a lot better.

2:41 am

sprite

they probably will, flosey, lol

2:42 am

elder

yes::))

2:42 am

flosey

good night now, and have a good day sprite - do hope you will find the right words to say to your father and that the process will be healing for you

Hi Sprite! I'm not really on but I flashed past the page and saw that you are so I popped on to say hi. Scrolled back a bit; I'm glad you're writing that letter.

2:45 am

sprite

hiya MonkeyG :) That is sweet, and much appreciated.
Yes, I think it is time. Making a clear stand and saying my piece... at 42 it might be about freakin' time, right?

2:45 am

elder

hello Monkey.

2:46 am

MonkeyGames

I know what you mean, trust me. So aside from that backstory, how are you?

2:46 am

sprite

tired as hell, had a pretty taxing day yesterday. But I feel pretty strong. And you?

2:47 am

MonkeyGames

OK! But Walter's cold has turned into a sore throat and lowgrade fever, so I'm keeping him home today and maybe tomorrow. But he's cheerful and playing, if somewhat subdued. Nice weather today, eh?

2:48 am

sprite

yeah, it is lovely. If possible, let him play outside for a little while, in the shadow. The sunlight will do him good. And tell him hi from me :)

2:49 am

sprite

how is the weather at your side of the Canal, elder? Also better?

2:49 am

MonkeyGames

Not to worry, a bit later if he's still up to it I'll be plunking him out on the deck with paints and cardboard so he can make his Daddy a birthday card.

2:50 am

sprite

aw, good

2:50 am

sprite

southern drawl word alert

2:51 am

MonkeyGames

OK, gotta go. I'll be back on while taking breaks. I need to make a birthday cake for tomorrow (which necessitates cleaning the kitchen), make ghee and panneer so I can make panneer saag tonight, and make warm honey-lemonade for Walter's hroat. Have fun all!

2:52 am

sprite

ohhhh I am coming over, lol. Sounds so lovely.
Enjoy and have a great party.

2:53 am

elder

Sprite, the last few days have been wonderful, so good for one soul. Windows can be left open and a warm stroll to survey my garden.. to feel the sun and its warmth, bliss:)

2:53 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks! No party, though-- he has to work tomorrow and has decided to save up parties until we can have a huge one in 7 years for his 50th. You SHOULD come over though; I'm the only one who'll eat the panneer saag! OK, back later. *poof*

2:53 am

elder

Monkey I'll come, food sounds great !.

2:54 am

sprite

oh lovely, elder. It is good for us to enjoy the good things, right? :)

2:54 am

sprite

I think we will all come, MonkeyG!

2:54 am

elder

yes to both Sprite. :)

2:55 am

MonkeyGames

You caught me mid-poof.... OK, I'll set extra places! Not sure there'll be enough Kashmiri butter chicken to go around though; that's teh leftovers part of the menu!

2:55 am

Thats ok I don't eat chicken..

i'll have to get the side replaced which will cost about £500....i wanted to clip them but, then i thought it was cruel to do that to Willow, she's not much of a hunter without claws

3:55 am

elder

Awwee Pink. that not good Sofa's are too expensive . Could you train cat to claw one of those scratching poles.

3:56 am

elder

Oh Lorip... good but you could have said before I put all that energy into the sentence.. tired.. now..:)

3:56 am

herinfernallady

My head just imploded

3:56 am

herinfernallady

Bad kitty Pink

3:57 am

LoriP

I sawry elder. :(

3:57 am

elder

Mush Then Herin, Ewee!!

3:58 am

pinkhatlil

she had a scratching pole but she never used it, so my mum gave it to my gran for her cat. Willow is about 7 years old (not sure what that is in cat years).... Huni why has your head imploded?

3:58 am

movieman

pinkhat, 7 years is roughly middle age in cat years

3:58 am

herinfernallady

There is this thing on telly that just made my head explode. Additives and the such make kids monsters if sensitive. Really der. Some people need a slapping

3:59 am

movieman

I know, 'cos my Arnie will be 7 next Wednesday

3:59 am

herinfernallady

My cat owns the couch corner

4:00 am

pinkhatlil

i thought she would have grown out of that by now mm

4:01 am

LoriP

Does the 7 come from that ci business as well?

4:01 am

herinfernallady

Ther is no CI 7 its MI 6/7

4:02 am

elder

It is well documented that certain additives will impact on children's and behavior and their cognitive abilities.

4:03 am

movieman

Well, pinkhat, my cat still acts like a complete loony sometimes.....

4:03 am

herinfernallady

Elder that is why i am sitting here imploded in the head. I am so careful with what i eat. Even if it is junk every so often. I eat everything in moderation

4:04 am

pinkhatlil

when my 1st brother was little, if he had a sweets or drink that contained E numbers he would be soooo hyper active and he is still the same now at 18 lol

4:05 am

pinkhatlil

well, if my cat carries on mm she wont have any lives left lol

4:06 am

LoriP

Boy this is a sneaky little grid.

4:06 am

elder

Herin, it is incredible the things parents provide for their children, the odd treat is fine, unless hyper sensitive. Although, I am tempted to fill up on junk food, and additives to achieve results to make me more hypo at times.. :)

4:06 am

herinfernallady

I buy free range eggs or organic products and make my own cakes and such if needd.

4:06 am

Haz1558

Good morning all. Elder, my apologies for leaving last night, I never did get back to say that, yes, our holiday should be an adventure.

4:07 am

herinfernallady

Elder I have found that instead of buying milk chocolate i buy dark and eat a little bit

4:08 am

LoriP

G'd morning Haz!

4:08 am

Haz1558

Hello Lori. I agree, this grid is sneaky.

4:09 am

elder

Good Morning Haz, No apologies needed but thank you. It does sound wonderful. Will you be going on Safari ?.Although ,for your husband that might feel a bit like a bus mans holiday :)

4:09 am

pinkhatlil

Good morning Haz

4:10 am

herinfernallady

brb

4:10 am

Haz1558

Yes, we're staying for part of the time in Moshi (near Kilimanjaro) and going on safari for three days. We did safari two years ago in Kenya and really enjoyed it. Then we finish with five days in Zanzibar.

4:10 am

sprite

back again, family keeps demanding my attention.

Hi Haz, welcome.

4:10 am

Haz1558

Hello pink and sprite.

4:10 am

elder

Herin, I too adore dark chocolate and it is deemed to be good for you in small quantities.

4:11 am

elder

WB Sprite.

4:11 am

LoriP

Sounds like a blast Haz.

4:11 am

LoriP

wb sprite

4:11 am

pinkhatlil

that sounds amazing Haz!!

4:11 am

elder

Hax, the scenery will be fantastic! when are you going ?

4:12 am

sprite

my kids both were very sensitive to most colour additives and to chocolate. But they have outgrown both.

4:12 am

elder

'Haz'

4:12 am

Haz1558

It should be. Seeing animals in the wild is fabulous. We're going the first two weeks in August. It's African winter, so the temperatures will suit us fine!

4:12 am

LoriP

"Hax" heh heh heh ***me likey***

4:12 am

sprite

lovely, Haz. A real adventure indeed.

4:13 am

elder

LoriP ... enough !!!

4:13 am

pinkhatlil

BBL babblers have a lovely day!!

4:13 am

LoriP

***peanut gallery goes both ways.... :p***

4:14 am

Haz1558

Bye pink.

4:14 am

elder

The best time to go.. Summer temperatures would be unbearable, and the animals would be too sleepy.

4:14 am

LoriP

Later pink, have a good one!

4:14 am

elder

Byee Pink .. have a lovely day.

4:15 am

elder

LoriP... I don't want to be in DENSA!!

4:15 am

Haz1558

I thought membership of DENSA was by invitation only?

4:16 am

sprite

I thought it was automatically, as soon as is clear you meet the requirements

4:16 am

LoriP

It is, and as Prez, you have not yet crossed the line elder, but careful, 'yer close..... :D

4:16 am

elder

LoriP .. keeps trying to make me enroll . LOL

4:16 am

Haz1558

We need to find out. Lori?

4:16 am

elder

LOL !!

4:16 am

herinfernallady

Elder i just bought organic tomato pasta sauce it was nice

4:17 am

Haz1558

Is there an entry test you have to fail to qualify?

4:17 am

LoriP

23 left after the first sweep. ***sigh***

4:17 am

elder

No testing this morning.... excuse being.. on heavy meds. :)

4:17 am

sprite

lady to the sin bin

4:17 am

LoriP

It's the depth of the failure that assure membership Haz.

4:17 am

sprite

you are already out of the game, Haz. Showing signs of intelligence, even if only once, is enough to be disqualified.

4:18 am

Haz1558

I see. Good to know.

4:18 am

elder

yes Sprite.. dark Chocolate in there for you Herin :)

4:18 am

sprite

I love the darkest chocolat

4:18 am

LoriP

I have taken failure to unheard of depths.....

4:18 am

herinfernallady

Dang it ok im going im going

4:18 am

elder

loriP LOL

4:18 am

Haz1558

But I've heard that it's fun in DENSA.

4:19 am

Lori: to boldly go where no man can follow...

4:19 am

MonkeyGames

OK, one Death by Chocolate cake in the oven, one batch of ghee cooling, one short break earned!

4:19 am

elder

Haz and et al, you may noticed that I try to keep a balance of not coming over too bright or too stupid :)

4:20 am

elder

keep them guessing, I say.

4:20 am

herinfernallady

I have also found something very sneaky with some companys saying they are 'fair trade' when they aren't

4:20 am

sprite

ohhhhhh darn. I seriously should come over, lol. TOday is not going to work though. We should meet soon though, MonkeyG, and not let another Summer pass without actually doing it :)

4:20 am

Haz1558

I'd say you're very balanced, elder.

4:21 am

sprite

I think you are succeeding very well, elder

4:21 am

herinfernallady

Monkey Hello

4:21 am

LoriP

elder? balanced? pshaw! :D

4:21 am

elder

You should report them Herin,.. misleading the public.

4:21 am

sprite

MonkeyG, I also would love to have those recipes. Can I beg and ask you to email them to me one day when you have time? Please pretty please with a cherry on top?

4:21 am

MonkeyGames

I agree! Cake won't be served until tomorrow though.... Let's try to make some plans for, say, next weekend. Niet aanstaande; wij hebben al plannen om naar een mini-dierenpark te gaan. Maar volgende weekend ziet uit goed...

4:21 am

herinfernallady

I still need a recipe for real Dutch chocolate cake. The icing was boiled

4:22 am

Haz1558

Poor Lori. So bitter. So young.

4:22 am

elder

Haz, one can only try, however it can be difficult in here at times.

4:22 am

MonkeyGames

Recipes? Sure! Herin, sorry, I don't have that one... maybe Sprite does? She's Real Dutch, I'm assimilated...

4:22 am

herinfernallady

Elder it wasn't false advertising. You see the words were 'we exchange money for FAIR goods'

4:22 am

sprite

let me see, next weekend is not sure, a friend of mine is coming over for the week and might still be there. But if not, it sounds good to me too! Ziet er goed uit ;)

4:23 am

elder

Lorip... so bitter .. obviously eats too much dark chocolate .. ah we have come full circle. :)

4:23 am

Haz1558

I hear you, elder. It certainly can be difficult to tread the fine line.

4:23 am

sprite

don't know any Dutch chocolate cake with boiled icing, sorry.

4:23 am

sprite

We are the Dutch Borg. You are assimilated. Resistance is appreciated, yet useless.

4:23 am

herinfernallady

the icing wasn't boiled so much as melted.

4:23 am

Haz1558

When you get to my age, and the eyes are going, you can't even see the fine line sometimes.

4:24 am

MonkeyGames

Dank je, ik heb nog veel corrigeren nodig! OK, next weekend or the one after that if you want to meet my husband, any Tuesday or Wednesday is also good.

4:24 am

sprite

it is right under your feet, Haz.

4:24 am

elder

LOL Haz..

4:24 am

Haz1558

What feet?

4:24 am

MonkeyGames

Futile. Resistance against the Borg is futile, against the Vogons useless. Or do I have it backwards?

4:24 am

sprite

oh, would love to meet the whole family. Let's email and make a date.

4:25 am

MonkeyGames

You got it!

4:25 am

MonkeyGames

Might have to wait a bit because I really should get the house looking, ummm, hygeinic today, can do more in the way of longer e-mails in the evening (except during House, of course).

4:26 am

sprite

nope, you have it right, MonkeyG. I was making up a Dutch variation.

Hm, Haz, ok. Problem has deeper roots than I thought. Look down. Big flat surface might be there. On it, attached to you, two funny looking thingies with 5 extentions each. Most people would call them feet.

4:26 am

elder

are we talking crows feet!! .. am counting ..

4:26 am

sprite

no hurry, MonkeyG, we will email after the birthday :)

4:27 am

sprite

Haz has no crow's feet. Not at all.
*firmly puts thoughts of ostriches out of mind*

4:27 am

Haz1558

An elderly friend got her cataracts removed. She was astonished at what a dirty house she had been content to live in.

4:28 am

sprite

aw, might have been a bad move, Haz. Giving up contentment for eyesight.

4:28 am

elder

Oh bless her.. what a shock..

4:28 am

MonkeyGames

Oops, must go put on the Aristicats for my sick little boy. Then I'd better get back to work; the ghee should be cool enough to pour out, freeing up the pan to make panneer. I think I'll try it with cardamom today. Back later!

4:28 am

sprite

have fun, MonkeyG.

4:28 am

elder

I am fed up with wearing glasses all the time.. thinking to save up to have laser treatment.

4:29 am

Haz1558

She was content to see, just surprised at what she was seeing.

4:29 am

sprite

am thinking about that sometimes. But am scared. I am so critical about my eyesight. Not sure it would really be good enough.

4:29 am

LoriP

Lol HAz, my kinda' woman!

4:30 am

sprite

ah, then it was a good move. Just some cleaning then... or maybe the realisation that it is possible to content with a slightly dirty house.

4:30 am

elder

The cost of spectacles and the inconvenience will out way the cost over a short period of time .

4:30 am

Haz1558

Lori - that could be your excuse for not doing housework 'I just can't see well enough'

4:30 am

LoriP

Now that you mention it, things have always seemed fuzzy to me.....

4:31 am

sprite

*offers a 'be' to insert in previous post, at will*

4:31 am

elder

Haz, I would guess Lorip is already using that excuse:).. don't we all !.

4:31 am

Haz1558

There you go - you have a medical condition.

4:31 am

elder

Ahh, see I was correct.

4:31 am

LoriP

That is such a relief! Now i don't have to be responsible.

4:31 am

Haz1558

Just get the doctor to write you a note, pin it at the front door and then see the people give you pitying looks and gentle pats.

4:32 am

elder

Sprite seen and accepted. :)

4:32 am

Haz1558

You could get a guide dog as well.

4:32 am

sprite

elder? Oh, the email! :D

4:32 am

Haz1558

Or better yet, one of those dogs that does the housework for you.

4:32 am

elder

and you never know people may offer to clean for you LoriP.

4:33 am

sprite

aren't there helping hand dogs who actually could do some cleaning for you?

4:33 am

sprite

well, that is 3 souls and one thought :D

4:33 am

elder

Sprite , no your chat further down.

4:33 am

herinfernallady

I did just find 'Aunty Hetty's chocolate cake.

4:33 am

sprite

oh, great elder!

4:33 am

Haz1558

Yes - and LIzsark has trekked across Jordan to raise money for them. It stands to reason that a babbler should benefit.

4:33 am

LoriP

Cleaning is highly overated, which is why my spawnlings have super immune systems.

4:34 am

nDanLia

they do have guide monkeys, cats & pigs in some places

4:34 am

sprite

oh, indeed Haz. Good thinking. See, DENSA is out of your reach.

4:35 am

elder

I can see LoriP, pinning note to door ( in large print) to ensure authenticity.

4:35 am

Haz1558

Is there maybe a branch of DENSA that I could be in? One for those who occasionally have a good idea but who are particularly thick when it comes to some things?

4:35 am

herinfernallady

and horses Dan

4:35 am

sprite

We could create such a branch

4:36 am

sprite

LOL elder

4:36 am

nDanLia

a horse inthe house would quickly solve any cleaning problems

4:36 am

LoriP

No way, then get 'yer own acronym! DENSA has standards ya' know, low as they may be.

4:36 am

LoriP

:D @ elder

4:36 am

Haz1558

I'd be pleased if you could. My chosen speciality of stupidity would be sewing and all things sci-fi.

4:36 am

nDanLia

you'd be so taken you wouldn't notice

4:37 am

sprite

Note from Lori: "Dear visitors. Most of what you deem dirty in my house comes from my bad eyesight. The rest comes from my guide horse. If it bothers you, feel free to make things better."

4:37 am

The older ladies 'nearly was there' group!

hiya nDan!

4:37 am

elder

Hello Dan .

4:38 am

Haz1558

The thing about the guide horse..... have you ever had a horse stand on your foot? It gives new meaning to the term 'treading on your toes'

4:38 am

LoriP

How 'bout FENSA Females Easily Noticing Stabled Animals?

4:38 am

sprite

sci fi sewing, that is a whole new area. I think most of us could be sufficiently stupid about that and join the branch. Might be fun.

4:38 am

elder

Haz, I have and its agony.

4:39 am

sprite

small wonder you cannot find you feet, Haz. Those funny extentions most people call toes, must look like little pancakes for you?

4:39 am

Haz1558

FENSA sounds good.

4:39 am

sprite

lol Lori

4:39 am

elder

and slapped by a horse tail .. worse than any fish in here .

4:40 am

Haz1558

elder - I was once helping a child to get on a horse. Said horse decided to stand on my foot. I couldn't make a fuss in case the child got tossed. I remember thinking 'How heavy can one creature be?'

4:40 am

sprite

no biting or kicking allowed though

4:40 am

LoriP

lol Haz, yah, horses are so featherlike.....

4:41 am

nDanLia

ah, I can breathe, I'm not drippy & sticky, feels so nice [humidity has broken after over a week 95F ish & high combo]

4:41 am

sprite

about as heavy as a car

4:41 am

sprite

woot nDan, sounds good

4:41 am

Haz1558

It taught me a lesson. Stay indoors and away from horses.

4:41 am

elder

Haz, Lol, the things we have to endure to prevent harm to child .

4:42 am

nDanLia

so swishing tail for feather duster, and a new mosaic floor all in the bargain

4:42 am

darn, they removed my vid :(

4:42 am

elder

Well done Sprite..!!!

4:42 am

Haz1558

I know. Come to think of it, defending children from harm has forced me to have a horse standing on my foot, and to eat tapioca without complaint.

4:43 am

nDanLia

no, not tapioca

4:43 am

Haz1558

I should just let children get on with things, shouldn't I?

4:43 am

nDanLia

poor Haz

4:43 am

LoriP

Congratulations sprite!

4:43 am

elder

Ohh.. awful .. re; the tapioca.

4:43 am

nDanLia

some things they just must suffer thru to build character

4:43 am

Haz1558

Tapioca. I was visiting a house where the children were expected to eat everything without complaint. I had to eat the tapioca and look happy.

4:43 am

LoriP

The tapioca thing was brave. I bow in homage.

4:44 am

Haz1558

It was thirty years ago, but the memory is fresh.

4:44 am

Haz1558

Those same children are probably feeding tapioca to their children saying 'Everybody loves it!'

4:44 am

elder

Gold star for bravery, Haz.

4:45 am

elder

LOL !!

4:45 am

nDanLia

i suffered thru dried liver and beetroot as a child, but would not open mouth for tapioca

4:45 am

LoriP

Tapioca is only good for a food fight, and I'm not even sure about that.

4:45 am

Haz1558

Sometimes I'm filled with guilt.

4:45 am

elder

Who ever made up that pudding should be shot!.

4:45 am

let it go Haz,, held on far too long :)

4:46 am

Haz1558

It was a wallpaper paste manufacturer who went bust and wondered what to do with the excess stock. His name was Mr Tap I Oca.

4:47 am

elder

LOL !

4:47 am

nDanLia

well, we made # 7 on national healthiest places to live list; with top 5 in general over last several years we'll be even more inundated w/ transplants; more traffic, sprawl, yuck; those lists are counter-productive

4:48 am

elder

and I suspect the paste is the best in the world. to the extent that you cannot remove it easily.

4:48 am

thus he went bust !!

Recipe for Eccles Cakes:

7:08 am

movieman

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Pre-heat oven to 220°C

Ingredients:

* 500g flaky pastry
* 25g melted butter
* Nutmeg
* 50g candied peel
* 100g sugar
* 200g currants

Method:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and butter and cook over a medium heat until melted
2. Off the heat, add currants, candied peel, nutmeg and allspice
3. On a lightly-floured surface, roll the pastry thinly and cut into rounds of about 0.5cm thickness and 10cm diameter
4. Place a small spoonful of filling onto centre of each pastry circle
5. Dampen the edges of the pastry and draw the edges together over the fruit and pinch to seal
6. Turn over, then press gently with a rolling pin to flatten the cakes
7. Flatten and snip a V in the top with scissors. Place on a baking tray
8. Brush with water and sprinkle with a little extra sugar
9. Bake in a hot oven for 20 minutes (220°C) or until lightly browned round the edges
10. Place on a wire rack and allow to cool.
11. Try not to eat them all at once!

7:25 am

MonkeyGames

Sure is Katie. Been on here off and on all day and have 41.

7:26 am

MonkeyGames

At least random ones like sc6 just leap out at one. That's something, anyway.

7:26 am

hydra

Hi all. Help with the sa words, please. I'm completely stumped.

7:27 am

MonkeyGames

Several have to do with cooking; many things are better with a nice se***...

7:27 am

hydra

Oh! Many thanks, Monkey! I hadn't looked at the left side of the grid!

7:28 am

MonkeyGames

How's this for pathetic though? The two na4's have me completely stumped. Little help?

7:29 am

MonkeyGames

Oops, I see my typo too... meant a nice sa***, of course.

7:29 am

hydra

I'm not surprised, Monkey. One is na + 2 more vowels.

7:29 am

hydra

The other is na + abbreviation for outsize (that's all I can think of!)

7:30 am

MonkeyGames

Ah... thanks!

7:30 am

fuquayvarina

the na's are what I believe are termed "babblets" -- words you will never see anywhere else

7:30 am

MonkeyGames

Gottem! Thanks again!

7:32 am

MonkeyGames

Hey, totally o-t, doea anyone have any tips for making things stuck to your skin cause less of a reaction? I'm using this heart monitor thing to keep track of my arrhythmia so we can see what's up with it, and where the electrodes stick on is getting more irritated every day.

7:32 am

fuquayvarina

I'm back with my coffee and scone breakfast, so can clue for awhile before I go catch my plane home. If you want 'em, fire away

7:33 am

MonkeyGames

mh?

7:33 am

rolin

monkey i am allergic to plasters...so there is no allergenic tape you can use..unless you have to have the gel to make the points contact properly

7:33 am

hydra

That is a real problem, Monkey. I had to give up HRT plasters for the same reason.

7:34 am

rolin

theres an mh?

7:34 am

fuquayvarina

monkey, think of the greek letter r**, change the r to m, and add s. Its a unit of measure relating to electronics somehow.

7:34 am

rolin

mh+out size again

7:34 am

MonkeyGames

Hmmm. OK, guess I'm kind of outta luck then. The electrode things are attached to the tape stuff already, so that leaves out getting other tape. And I did have this same reaction years ago when my kneecap had to be taped into a diferent position.

7:35 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks! Thought I had tried that...

7:35 am

rolin

thats what happened to me..cant you fold the tape thats on the back?

7:35 am

darthdude

Happy Good Morning all....:/ *yawn*

7:35 am

I'll fiddle around with it. Maybe I can trim it. Thanks, everyone!

7:41 am

darthdude

Cool... I am going to go see twilight and take as many pictures as possable with 5,000,000,000 lbs. women dressed up as wonderwoman. My Friends and I are having a contest for whoever can get the most....

8:59 am

Dorens

i hardly ever think anythings worth going to the movie theater but this was!!!

9:00 am

Judi

Answer the burning question, Dorens... Can Meryl Streep really sing? Can Pierce Brosnan really sing?

9:00 am

cybernan

missing an e on the left -- have the tree-like one -- stats?

9:00 am

Dorens

if you like meryl streep, you will now LOVE meryl streep. and yes she can

9:00 am

Dorens

and no, he CAN't, but it doesn't ruin the movie at all

9:00 am

BerniceQ

did they actually sing their parts?

9:00 am

BerniceQ

cybernan, respect your ***er*

9:01 am

Judi

Thought so. Oh well, he's good looking enough that he doesn't need to sing well.

9:01 am

beebee

ok- i'm holding you to that, i really want to see it, so i guess it'll be in theatre

9:01 am

Dorens

they did, believe it or not. oh my god she is so wonderful, i can't stand it. she looked like she was having such a great time, it made you really enjoy it so much more

9:02 am

Judi

My hubby wants to go see the X Files movie this weekend. I told him we should wait until the first wave of fangeeks has seen it before we go.

9:02 am

BerniceQ

wow, i never saw the broadway show, thought it might be too cheesy. but if the movie's good, it's worth $11

9:02 am

Dorens

let me know beebee, after you see it, what you think. and judi too, if you go see it. i want to know if i'm crazy or not. yes, it was sort of silly, but so much fun (and me tooo about broadway bQ, i thought it sounded absurd)

9:03 am

Dorens

you're right about the fangeeks judi. i can iimagine they are almost like trekkies

9:03 am

BerniceQ

and then they had the billy joel show (moving out) and i thought it was just a fad, this recycling old songs to make a show

9:03 am

BerniceQ

trekkERs, if you don't mind

9:03 am

Judi

I can just see them, dressed up as the Lone Gunmen or the smoking man... or worse.

9:03 am

Dorens

and jersey boys....i've seen none of them.. not worth my money

9:03 am

Dorens

oh sorry, i stand corrected

9:03 am

beebee

it looks like it would be a fun movie and i always like to study meryl streep- she never ages. but i will let you know.

9:04 am

BerniceQ

i saw meryl streep coming out of my bank. it was surreal.

9:04 am

ExWren

I read somewhere that Meryl Streep was a classically trained singer

9:04 am

flosey

what is this movie?

9:04 am

Dorens

well, she sounded fine. Mammamia flosey

9:04 am

beebee

mommamia

9:05 am

Judi

I wouldn't think Meryl would have to visit a bank. I'm sure she has piles of money just laying about.

9:05 am

flosey

oh yes, I want to see it

9:05 am

BerniceQ

im sure she wants to earn some interest on her millions

9:05 am

beebee

i just worried i might start singing along and people will get mad

9:05 am

Dorens

she said she did it just to embarass her children. dancing queen, etc

9:06 am

Dorens

i think she will win or at least be nominated for an oscar

9:06 am

Judi

LOL. She has enough Oscars. I doubt this is the type of movie that will be nominated for an Oscar. Unless there is a musical categorie.

9:07 am

Dorens

remember chicago, i thnk that had many nominations

9:07 am

beebee

happy babbling y'all - i gotta pretend to clean :)

9:07 am

Dorens

dancing queen was just so incredible!

9:29 am

I thought it was chopped up dates and nuts, not actual meat...

9:29 am

flosey

9:30 am

flosey

back in early days red, my grandmother did use meat in it

9:30 am

redturtlehead

Ooooh, freaky. I would find that hard to stomach.

9:30 am

redturtlehead

and I like meat.

9:30 am

flosey

it's chopped apple, raisins, currants, suet (I use butter) and brandy or rum

9:30 am

redturtlehead

As much as I like any food.

9:30 am

bichon

I like meat pies, but not with dates and nuts

9:30 am

9:33 am

JBV

the pie you were describing sounds interesting - never had it but it the combination of fruity and meaty sounds like what we put in the stuffing in a thanksgiving turkey

9:34 am

Judi

Change is sometimes good, Red. As Nike says, "Just Do It".

9:34 am

jbv the pie has sugar also, I don't think it would be same as your stuffing - and it is (mi***d) ground fairly fine - raisins and currants left whole - I believe it is probably English

9:36 am

BerniceQ

some day i hope to have that much free time.

9:36 am

Judi

Get a job, Bob.

9:36 am

redturtlehead

Judi, very funny, the new shoes are Nikes...I could not afford my old standards. Pearl Izumi...

9:37 am

redturtlehead

I like the pie, BUT...not with real meat in it.

9:37 am

JBV

flosey - sounds delicious to me - I'm not eating such foods right now (trying to take off quite a few more pounds) but I would love to try it one day

9:38 am

redturtlehead

How is the "diet" going JBV?

9:39 am

flosey

good luck JBV with your diet - stick with it, you'll be so proud of yourself

9:39 am

JBV

red, I'm more or less stuck at about 42 pounds - and I know I should be exercising - I should have been inspired by your dedication but can't seem to get moving

9:40 am

redturtlehead

Don't be too inspired. My Doctor has me scaling back on the exersise. Have you tried anything like Water aerobics? Nice if you have sore joints.

9:41 am

nbjasmine

is it me, or is this grid tough?

9:41 am

flosey

JBV, I lost 50 pounds a few years back - when to exercise class for heart patients 3 x week and cut back on red meat, sugars and fats

9:41 am

JBV

I love the water but have not made the effort to get enrolled in a gym or club - and let's not think about finding a bathing suit!

9:42 am

redturtlehead

Jasmine, the grid is tough.

9:42 am

flosey

but JBV, if everyone is there for same purpose, you would not feel any different than the others

9:42 am

redturtlehead

JBV, shop on line for a suit, much easier. Its summer time! A great time to be in the pool, I'm thrilled because I have a super tan...

9:43 am

redturtlehead

Of course its florida, so everyone else does too.

9:43 am

tijani

cy 5/16 please the second one

9:43 am

flosey

same first 4 letters, plural

9:43 am

JBV

is it too terrible to admit that I spent three days last week in Cape May - one of the most beautiful beaches in NJ - and did not go in the ocean or pool even once

9:43 am

redturtlehead

plural the cy 4,7 tijani

9:44 am

redturtlehead

No JBV, unless you really really wanted to go in and let somthing stop you...

9:44 am

tijani

the one after that

9:45 am

JBV

I did walk a lot though, up and down the beach and along some wonderful nature trails - it was beautiful

9:45 am

flosey

tij, if you have the plural, then you're missing the one in between, add a vowel

9:45 am

flosey

walking is very good JBV

9:46 am

Judi

Fireworks! This calls for more coffee.

9:46 am

JBV

yep, the week I was on vacation I lost 2.2 pounds!

9:46 am

JBV

congrats, Judi!

9:46 am

flosey

WTG Judi - you certainly deserve some treat for finishing this grid

9:47 am

Judi

That's outstanding, JBV. Good for you. Dieting alone just doesn't do it for me. I have to go to the gym and punish myself on a regular basis.

9:47 am

BzznBea

WOOHOO! JUDI!

9:47 am

Judi

With coffee comes real work. See you kids tomorrow.

9:47 am

flosey

great JBV - I presume you're back to work now, is there any way you can continue walking? - a short walk at lunchtime - or coffee break?

9:49 am

Babs1

12:08 pm

Babs1

oh..alas!

12:08 pm

Atalante

awwww

12:08 pm

Babs1

I see you're a vegan..do you eat mostly raw food or cooked?

12:09 pm

SeanS

cooked... raw food isn't as good :)

12:09 pm

Atalante

raw food is yummy!

12:09 pm

Babs1

hmm....I've been eating more raw lately--mostly in raw smoothies or salads

12:10 pm

SeanS

definitely better for you, babs and ata

12:10 pm

SeanS

and do eat raw foods, i just prefer a cooked meal usually

12:11 pm

SeanS

*I* do

12:11 pm

Atalante

cooked meals always feel more filling somehow

12:11 pm

Babs1

what's your fave thing to make and eat?

12:12 pm

SeanS

i tend not to have favorites as a general rule... but i do pretty well at making mexican food, which i enjoy very much

12:12 pm

Babs1

what i've noticed is with green smoothies in the a.m. I crave lots less food the rest of the day..mix up salad greens, spinach with fruits and water in a blender

12:12 pm

SeanS

especially with vegan sour cream... (tastes just like real sour cream, but better for you!)

12:13 pm

SeanS

definitely good for you, babs... i rarely even eat breakfast... i'm not the healthiest vegan :P

12:13 pm

Atalante

brealkfast I have as my hot meal of the day. I can't get through to lunch with a big bowl of oatmeal and fruit

12:13 pm

Babs1

well...once I discovered the smoothie idea from a raw food teacher and nutritionist, I got hooked...very quick in the a.m.

12:14 pm

SeanS

i have a problem with waking up in the morning, so breakfast is pretty far down on my priorities list

12:14 pm

BerniceQ

can i ask, how many CY words are there?

12:14 pm

Babs1

you vegan as well, ata?

12:14 pm

Babs1

mm...sean...that might be a good reason for bkfast...lol!

12:14 pm

SeanS

5 cy words, bernice

12:15 pm

BerniceQ

ok, that's what i';m missing...

12:15 pm

Atalante

nope, but I do tend to eat mainly veggie things. But I retain the right to eat fish and steak when I feel like it!

12:15 pm

BerniceQ

got it.

12:16 pm

SeanS

i'm so pleased that the general population is becoming increasingly vegetarian friendly

12:17 pm

Babs1

yes! and more gluten free foods!

12:17 pm

Babs1

just back from a college visit..many schools into locally farmed and fresh foods

12:17 pm

Atalante

I was "properly" vegetarian until I went to uni, when I thought that cutting up animals during the day in labs was somewhat inapproproiate for a strict vegetarian. Now I just like veggie food

12:18 pm

SeanS

nothing wrong with gluten really... unless you're like my mom and have cyliac disease

12:19 pm

puggysmalls

can someone clue ch 6/36 for me?

12:19 pm

SeanS

ata, i still have a problem with the idea of cutting up animals... main reason i went vegetarian

12:19 pm

SeanS

12:19 pm

bichon

ch 6/36, related to the one before, adjectival form

SeanS

12:20 pm

12:20 pm

Babs1

I think a lot more people have become gluten intolerant because of how growers have messed with our food supply

12:20 pm

Atalante

(ie we had to do some dissections or get thrown off the course!)

12:22 pm

SeanS

very possible, babs

12:22 pm

SeanS

12:22 pm

SeanS

12:22 pm

SeanS

12:23 pm

I find my buckwheat at a Middle East store; sometimes I go to Lincoln, NE, where there are some good Slavic stores. Whole Foods has it, but it's pricier.

1:46 pm

1:46 pm

Babs1

Whole Foods made it to Nebraska I take it!

Book Doctor Gwen

I'm copying a few paras from my short short walmart essay:

10:20 pm

lexleeanne

yVw

10:20 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Wal-Mart has no respect for its employees. Wal-Mart defines “full time” as 28 or more hours a week, and employees are kept below 28 hours a week so they won’t receive benefits. Hourly workers are sent home early if business is slow. Only “full-time” employees with at least two years with the company are eligible for health insurance, and pay 35 percent of it themselves. Many Wal-Mart employees earn so little they are on food stamps or other public assistance.

10:21 pm

lexleeanne

I think I could write it too Gwen

10:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

eegad, formatting problems! (sorry)

10:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Wal-Mart has no respect for its customers. Comparison shopping (writing down prices) will get you thrown out of the store. As many as 10 percent of items are over-priced due to scanner mistakes. Products are stacked so high that falling merchandise has injured more than 25,000 people since the first Wal-Mart opened in 1962.

10:21 pm

MLFAN17

geez i always thought they were a good commpany to owrk for

10:22 pm

MLFAN17

Kmart isnt exactly better though

10:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Wal-Mart has no respect for your city. Deposits in the local bank are instantly transferred to corporate headquarters in Arkansas. Every dollar you spend there permanently leaves the area and can never be reinvested in your city.

10:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Kmart? compared ot walmart, kmart is a saint (so to speak)

10:23 pm

MLFAN17

i thought ti was Taget and Kmart who are hurting?

10:23 pm

MLFAN17

HE 5/16 clue please

10:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Wal-Mart profits from child labor and black market trading. Apparel sold at Wal-Mart is made in sweatshops around the world, like the one in Bangladesh where children earn 5c an hour, or the factory in Honduras where children work 75 hours a week for 31c an hour, or the prison factories in China where labor is free. Wal-Mart illegally imports these products, breaking US laws.

10:23 pm

fruittart

*pops head into chat* hi all. just read gwen's paragraph. I was thrown out of a Jewel-Osco in NM with my infant daughter for doing comparison shopping. It was right when the WM was going to open and they accused me of being a spy for WM!

10:23 pm

lexleeanne

I heard that Wal-Mart was opened with the specific goal of putting K-Mart out of business...how vindictive

10:24 pm

MLFAN17

Heard that too lexie

10:24 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

fruit, if i owned a store i would be very wary of mall-wart spies too!

10:24 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

mall-wart has a well-established policy of copying prices of competitors and undercutting them by a few pennies until competitor dies

10:24 pm

MLFAN17

yikes fruit

10:25 pm

MLFAN17

And also, if you are a music person like i am its the only place to buy them at a store, even though i think they got in trouble for their low prices on their cds and dvds as well

10:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Wal-Mart executices caught lying. Wal-Mart deliberately and viciously builds new stores where they are not wanted and lies about its intentions while doing so. Wal-Mart was forced to change its slogan, "Always the Low Price, Always" to "Always Low Prices" when it was revealed prices were not the lowest. Sam's Club (owned by Wal-Mart) used to be called "Sam's Wholesale Club," but the term "wholesale" was dropped after it was revealed prices were significantly higher than wholesale prices.

10:26 pm

MLFAN17

Gwen so how do they get away with it?

10:26 pm

fruittart

Had a friend who was a pharmacist for WM in TX. She had quite the tales of woe.

10:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

being a big bully you can get away with anything. just ask george w

10:27 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

must equate the two, they act the same, in the important ways anyway

10:28 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Wal-Mart has no respect for America's small businesses. Wal-Mart, which employs over 700,000 people, exploits life insurance benefits and closure provisions of the federal tax code designed to help small businesses.

10:28 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

fruit, do tell!

10:28 pm

phandmd

evening folks; pls help with the SA 5/14

10:29 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Wal-Mart has no respect for its suppliers. They call suppliers collect. Suppliers are routinely underpaid and lose their contract if they complain. Merchandise is often returned to them without notice and packed so badly it can't be resold.

our city park district keeps some employees at 35 hrs and calls it 'pt' so they don't pay benefits.

10:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i came up with a way to price shop in mall-wart: just bring along a shopping cart and put a few things in it as you go, so you look like a real shopper. then abandon cart when you leave

10:33 pm
