dee-- here's what I just read -- When the bulldog of 19th-century Britain was transplanted to American soil, it kept its original form while its English counterpart underwent significant changes. With its instincts and form intact, the breed easily switched from bull baiting to handling tough range cattle on the American frontier. Over the last century, the breed has remained relatively true to type and still resembles the Bulldog of bygone days.

in the UK kanet about and hour away from London.

Hey Eva and Merp!
5:36 am
Eva

it does seem to be a natural law that things happen when you'd have to pay time and a half.
5:36 am

Eva, you've got tons of snow, right?
5:36 am
Eva

Hey FM! Mrrrrrp!
5:37 am

*grin*
5:38 am
FMitch

Snow, how much?
5:38 am
kanet77

hour which way, fm? i worked in 6 months in rugby in '98. i loved england
5:38 am
Uneaixoise

i think scrabbs said she had a couple of feet of the white stuff . . .
5:38 am
Eva

only about a foot, which fell over two days. And was very late this year. The midwest got a lot more.
5:39 am
FMitch

South of Rgby by quite a way - West Sussex.

I love the way Eva says 'only' about a foot - here everthing would grind to a halt with more than 2 inches!
5:40 am
Uneaixoise

same here, fmitch! LOL
5:41 am
Eva

Really FM-that surprises me about where you are.
5:41 am
FMitch

Wonder how the ski runs are up crossys way if they are ready yet?
5:42 am
Eva

The ski areas here were very happy,since it was such a late start to the year - although they can make snow as long as its cold enough.
5:42 am
FMitch

Most of England is not set up to cope with snow which is shocking but the coucils and government decide to spend the money on other things. However it is rare that we get a huge amount of snow in the south of england.
5:44 am
Eva

It is an area we have considerable expertise in....great snow tires, plowing, boots, strap on cleats, gaiters, etc. And also a tolerance for things not happening quite when they were scheduled. During the winter the weather forecast is the first thing most of us check on.
5:44 am
kanet77

where are you, eva?

very different states kanet-both in terms of terrain and culture. Where do you live?
5:50 am
kanet77

hmm.. well i was there for a few days. friend's wedding. i only know the small town where we stayed. i'm in pittsburgh pa
5:51 am

and I've never been to Pittsburgh. Only Phily
5:51 am
kje

OK, 10 left, and I can procrastinate no more... must get to the hospital
5:51 am
kje

hagd all, see you later
5:52 am
Eva

come to think of it that as also for a wedding. Oh, and I think it elementary school we took a class trip to an Amish community.
5:52 am
kanet77

very different cities. opposite sides of the allegheny mtns. i used to date a girl in philly. did that cross-state drive more times than i can count.
5:53 am
kanet77

yeah, the amish are near the center of the state
5:53 am
Eva

Is Pittsburgh still a steel town?
5:54 am
kanet77

no. all the steel mills have closed down
5:55 am
Eva

so where is the steel industry now?
5:55 am
kanet77

most steel business went to india, china, & eastern europe
5:55 am
Eva

what is the economy of PIttsburgh now?
5:56 am
kanet77

there's a lot of engineering. many companies that supported the steel industry
5:56 am
kanet77

so they provide engineering for steel mills overseas
5:56 am
kanet77

2 big universities: carnegie mellon & univ of pittsburgh

5:58 am
Eva

Odd to know so little about someplace so relatively close. I just have all the images of what I learned in childhood, of a rather grey industrial city with big smokestacks. Yes, I did know someone who went to medical school there. I only remember stories of how dangerous it was.
5:59 am
kanet77

yeah, i've heard stories of the sky being blacked out at noon due to smoke in the sky. that's been gone for decades but the legacy lives on.
6:00 am
Eva

the sky is red this morning-not a good sign
6:00 am
kanet77

tell me about vermont.
6:01 am
kanet77

and if anyone can help me with these last 3? ap5 ba7 co5
6:01 am
kanet77

i really want codus to be a word. and rous reminds me of princess bride
6:02 am
kanet77

vermont makes me think of skiing and maple syrup.
6:04 am
Eva

Almost no industry at all, which is lovely, but also makes it a rather poor state with a real struggle for young people to find jobs-especially now. Increibly beautiful, with a history of iconoclasm. very independent thinkers, lots of artists. It is, unfortunately also the whitest state in the U.S. - not a whole lot of cultural diversity. Some great progressive politicians - Bernie Sanders is out state rep and I think the only Independent rep. It is very, very quiet, and tends to attract people who like isolation, although where I live there is also a very strong sense of commuunity and taking care of each other.
6:04 am

Does anyone know whether glass ornaments will break if hung outside in the cold?
6:07 am

don't think i've had the pleasure. i've been through south dakota a number of times. beautiful country out there
6:08 am

I love the trivia I can get answered here!
6:09 am
Soodlebum

Sorry Eva - we don't have the extremes of weather that some of you peeps seem to have...
6:10 am
kanet77

i've never heard of glass breaking just from cold.
6:10 am
Eva

I'm thinking they should be okay, since they won't be exposed to water except in the form of snow-and won't be expanding and contracting much
6:10 am
kanet77

eva.. i can't think of that dylan song. any other clue?
6:11 am
BabbleRabble


Not usually. Glass usually only cracks when the temperature change is too fast. The outside temperature changes slow enough for glass to adjust.

what do you mean by tempered glass? Things which have been blown and the cooled slowly?
6:13 am

I guess I'll find out.

A vandalized telephone booth with toughened glass

Toughened or tempered glass is glass that has been processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Tempered glass is made by processes which create balanced internal stresses which give the glass strength.

Oh Eva, even more than ever, now that you are a true sage ;) ... seriously, Happy Birthday!
6:31 am
Eva

sage, hmmmm-does that come automatically with the birthday?
6:31 am
Eva

That would be lovely - a counterbalance to everything that is sagging and thinning.
6:32 am
ch1212

I think it's been well learned... and I suspect you were a sage even as a child.
6:32 am
ch1212

And don't get me started on sagging and thinning ... and thickening ... !!
6:33 am
ch1212

It seems like the things I want thinner get thicker, and vice versa.
6:34 am
Eva

thank you....a growing perspective and insight do seem to be the fruits of aging-or at least conscious aging. And yes, the inverse thinning and thickening seems quit true-why has no one written a scientifica article about this?
6:36 am

Well, feel free to write it, my dear. You have an excellent group of control patients right here! :D

hahaha, went to a ~~classy~~ italian restaurant a couple of weeks ago. they pride themselves on authenticity. (untrue) the waitress recited the specials in her version of italian (points given for trying),but got all snooty snobby with the wine list .. we ordered a bottle, she asked how it was, i said, "Tutto Bene!" and she looked at me like i was from Mars (or Italy, where it means, everything's good!)
10:11 am

10:38 am
Scrabbler

Twisting, Ru, of nads can mean death of them. Can even happen in utero and then one of pa4 is discovered to be missing
10:38 am

rururocks

10:40 am
Scrabbler

During residency I saw a 15 yr old boy that concealed his pain for over a day and his nad was black, tender, rock hard...and dead. Nad will die in 4-8 hrs if not untwisted.
10:40 am
Nancy Boy

unfortunately I will insist upon big ribbons and shiny paper

Interesting Stid, a bit of a challenge
12:13 pm
Nancy Boy

LOL Stid, gave up on that when I broke my fifth nail - been tending bar for a while now and won a few awards for it, because my two interests in life are pretty much exotic drink and exotic people ;)
12:13 pm

challenge is okay today, I have no official homework for three weeks!!! :-D

does that mean that references to holsters for mammaries and small birds won't embarass you any more?
12:20 pm
Nancy Boy

Excuse me if I dribble on you. That sounds lovely.
12:20 pm
stidmama

mmmm. latkes! I could make latkes for supper!!! thanks for the idea doren! I think maybe we don't even need groceries for that!

12:21 pm
Dorens

12:21 pm
Dorens

stid, you have matzo meal in the pantry? i'm impressed
12:21 pm
Nancy Boy

and not the small birds either. No dribbling over...
Yep, I am flustered.
12:22 pm

I can't eat wheat any more doren, but can use spelt flour for the latkes. I am sad that I can't eat matzo any more, I love the taste.

Hi JB :)
12:24 pm
stidmama

no JB, but figured out that wheat was a major trigger for migraines... so that is entirely off the menu now though it's not a fatal allergy like the others
12:24 pm
stidmama

haven't gone yeastless, and not sure life would be worth it if I did...
12:24 pm
Jen

you could even use rice flour, stid
12:25 pm
JBsAnno

Ah, understood. Thankfully, chocolate is not on your "bad" list?
12:25 pm
stidmama

that's an idea, jen! any idea how to keep it from being gritty though? I have don't really enjoy gritty rice-based foods.
12:25 pm

nope. choclit is still my main vice!

12:28 pm

WELL DONE stid!! I don't know how you managed to run a family, Babble and School all without going crazy. I am sure you did well. Marks don't really matter as much as what you learn.
12:29 pm
JBsAnno

*wipes telltale chocolate dribbles from stid's mouth*
12:29 pm
Nancy Boy

Oh don't let it decieve you ;)
Again, dirty thoughts. I need to have my head shut in a door. It's like a nervous tic.
12:29 pm
Jen

I have never actually cooked with rice flour, except using it in a tempura batter, so I am afraid I am nt much help
12:29 pm
stidmama

well, my children are old enough to mostly run themselves... and they are a good reason to step back sometimes from the homework
12:30 pm
stidmama

*blushing as NB's thoughts filter through the internet* I ought to wash your brain out with SOAP! *stern mama look*
12:30 pm
Bugsaw

Now they make ready made gluten free flour mixes that include rice and other kinds for a better balance, stid. Celimix bread flour can be used in any recipe, not just bread. Can you get that brand down there?
12:31 pm
stidmama

I don't know bugs, but there is a gluten-free store in one of the nearby towns I have been meaning to visit
12:31 pm
Nancy Boy

I'm SO sorry, I'm just nervous about tomorrow. I'm saying things without thinking them. Is it obvious?
12:31 pm
stidmama

I will look for it, since I will have time this week!
12:31 pm
Bugsaw

another trick is to let the whatever you made sit for 20 minutes before you cook it. The moisture softens the rice grit.
12:31 pm
Jen

could I get some clues for the E's? All I have is the E4/6
12:32 pm
Bugsaw

Another technique is to put a little pan of water in the bottom of the oven when you cook it.
12:32 pm
stidmama

I think, young man, that hormones at your age rampage. I also think that you are mature enough to filter how they are expressed. *stern but loving mama look* you are nervous, that doesn't mean you get to act out. *hugs*
12:32 pm
stidmama

how about en 4/5?
12:33 pm

12:35 pm
JBsAnno

Stid, google William Crook and yeast - I read the yeast connection lo these many moons ago when I needed a major detox. Useful recipes without too many complex ingredients. There's another one by a nurse (Margaret somebody), when I remember I'll pass it on.
12:35 pm
Bugsaw

No wonder you are excited! It is a big step. COngratulations
12:35 pm

12:38 pm
Bugsaw

be strong Nancy. The time to leave home is with your head held high, not with a scene so if he tries to make one, just tell him you still love HIM even if he doesn't approve of your lifestyle. Eventually he will understand what that means

Oh, sorry, GW, not from you, from CJudy, they're about to go into the oven, yes? She promised a delivery to the PB, so I typed a word just to be first to get one!
12:40 pm
Nancy Boy

Ruru, I never could have done that at 16 - was nowhere near ready. Hope you weren't driven out by circumstance :/
12:40 pm
stidmama

you'll be tear-stained and blotchy no matter what, Nancy Boy -- know that is okay to have emotions and feel sad when you are also making a positive step. That is part of growing up, and part of life.
12:41 pm

I feel slightly jealous of Ruru now. There is no mystique around my image, it's right there in my icon. With a bit of christmas photoshopped in :D

I know, but I bet you're even cuter when you do. Of course, it's not the looks, it's what you do and most importantly how you treat people.

OK, I need to head over to the neighbor's. His little girl is in the hospital with a lung abscess, his wife is there, his two little boys are asleep, and he needs to go get the obscure German relative who will be staying with them to help out. Have fun, all! I'll probably check back in later.

it's not hard to make ... the recipes has the steps in the wrong order, but if you bake, you'll know how to make it more time efficient (i.e. let the dates soak while you prepare your pan and dry ingredients)
4:09 pm

4:20 pm
MPittore

oh right...making...I used to make them for my merman to take to work...his grou[p used to beg for them...I used to make them six weeks before xmas and let them sit in the fridge and add a sprinkle of bourbon now and then, found out after a couple of years my hubby no longer offered them to his crew but saved them for himself....
4:21 pm
Nancy Boy

LOL MP
4:21 pm

4:28 pm
Nancy Boy

moving out, Jmc! but there's gonna be a blow-up with my dad, since he's SO not au fait with my sexuality, and I'm moving in with my boyfriend in London. He's the traditional, uptight Korean dad. Quite a good chance I might get disowned :/
4:29 pm
Pinikula

oh no, NB...sorry to hear...but glad you'll be happy?
4:29 pm
Nancy Boy

thanks, Pini :) yep, s'gonna be a strange day. But it's got to happen at one point - it's not the moving out he opposes too, it's the being gay.
4:31 pm
Pinikula

I hope he remembers that he's the proud father of a wonderful son...
4:31 pm
Nancy Boy

I've been banging on about it all day actually. Nervousness results in the opening of a huge verbal floodgate.
4:32 pm
Nancy Boy

Oh Pini, that's so sweet, thank you :) My mantra for tomorrow is "it's all for the best". what happens will happen, I suppose. It'll be so good to be out of the house, though.
4:33 pm
Pinikula

No doubt...perhaps you could consider reminding him that you're thankful to him and his guidance for being a strong individual, responsible, trustworthy, compassionate, etc. - all the positive qualities every parent hopes his/her child learns from them.
4:34 pm
MPittore

Nancy Boy I think that is so sad that people are not accepted because of sexuality...actually it's illegal here and should be everywhere...I could never turn against my child or grandchild or relative for that...all that matters is if they are a GOOD person...I sincerely hope that he can find it in his heart to accept you for who you are...you sound like a very nice person so maybe you and your partner can help him with his acceptance.
4:35 pm
Nancy Boy

Hopefully I'll be able to be that eloquent, Pini :) I tend to get very flustered in the moment, but I'll definitely try my best!
4:35 pm
jmcnrick

sorry NB the game caught me.
4:35 pm
Pinikula

consider writing "a letter" that you can read and then give him so he has something to read later in his own time.
4:35 pm
Nancy Boy

MP, thank you so much :) I'm so glad I talked about it on babble - been sort of hoarding it up - because everyone has been so sweet and so supportive. This really is a wonderful place; nowhere else on the web like it
4:36 pm
jmcnrick

My brother never came out and died of AIDs still firmly in the closet. Being Gay did not poison my brother. Not being honest in his life poisoned my brother.
4:36 pm
Nancy Boy

Oh my goodness, Jmc, I'm so sorry
4:37 pm
Pinikula

I'm sorry to hear, jmc...
4:37 pm

5:04 pm
welki

how short from the ceiling?
5:04 pm
stidmama

wait. what don't hit ceiling?
5:04 pm
jmcnrick

but the next tallest tree was 10 foot tall and $125
5:04 pm
jmcnrick

several feet short
5:04 pm
Pinikula

wow!!!
5:04 pm
jmcnrick

it is only 6 feet tall
5:05 pm
stidmama

oh. tree. *sigh* no "tree" trees until dog ages out.
5:05 pm
stidmama

*gasp* what kind of celing do you have?
5:05 pm
Pinikula

same here, stid
5:05 pm

I couldn't see spending $125 on a tree
5:05 pm

5:05 pm

5:06 pm

I have to cut off some of the bottom for the water
5:06 pm
stidmama

I have a nice, skinny artifical yule tree we bought at a hardware store a couple years ago on sale for $25.
5:06 pm
welki

it'll look lovely once it's settled in and decorated. (could always build a box for it to stand on, but then you'd need to surround it with huge presents :)
5:06 pm
jmcnrick

this will be the first tree in my son's life that didn't hit the ceiling
5:06 pm
stidmama

it fits between the wall and the sofa, out of the way. And it doesn't trigger any allergies.
5:06 pm
jmcnrick

I intend on putting it on a box
5:07 pm
stidmama

it will be a nice tree jmc. of course, you could always relocate here and have plenty of trees...
5:07 pm
welki

nothing is ever as big as it seemed when we were children, but it doesn't make it less beautiful, important, traditional or comforting

5:08 pm
jillibus

I have a little green fake balsam about 2 feet tall, all decorated and sitting in a black plastic garbage bag waitning from last year (and many previous years) for me to get it out and plug it in.
5:09 pm
stidmama

*grin* and in other ways too, jmc. *ducks flying objects*
5:09 pm
jmcnrick

well I was wondering since there are different kinds of christmas trees how she could be allergic to all of them
5:09 pm
stidmama

sounds festive, jill. And a lot easier than the other trees. That is a nice thing about our tree, it's prestrung with lights, and we just add the baubles
5:09 pm

hey stiddie you are the one saying that Olympia is lower in other things than D.C.
5:10 pm
Joanne123

crossing fingers really tight..just talked to sister-in-law and hubbies mom found a lump...
5:10 pm

it might not be the tree itself, jmc, but the fungi and lichens that tend to grow on them -- or the flame retardants you city people put on them/
5:10 pm

That one is a bit of a gordian knot, even for this game....
11:38 pm
Pinikula

goridan knot?
11:39 pm
brandyjack

exceptionally intricate knot, almost impossible to unravel unless you pull the rigth end the first time. pull anything else and it just tightens like a constrictor....
11:39 pm
Pinikula

yikes!!! was just thinking it must be some evil know :) (almost like a figure 8)
11:40 pm
Pinikula

(the word is almost a figure 8, I mean)
11:40 pm
o2baflyndog

11:53 pm
o2baflyndog
