12:18 am

spatialbean

his work is really beautiful!

12:18 am

dcseain

christine, to do that, upload a picture, then return to chog w/out saving your profile. Then, old pix displays here, and new in profile.

dcseain

hi, grannyrose

12:35 am

westford

there were not enough tissues in the world for us

12:35 am

saintfranny

For Ruru et al, just read this earlier: For those who are suffering from common or severe colds, they should take one tablespoon of luke warm honey with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder daily for 3 days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold and clear the sinuses.

12:35 am

grannyrose

hey dcs

12:35 am

jillibus

12:37 am

VolleymomDee

12:51 am

Atalante

at the end of each summer term, mum would make me a big bunch of them for my teacher, and I'd stagger in under the weight of this enormous bunch of flowers!

12:52 am

melonheadjujube

They are blowsy - in the best sense of the word!

12:52 am

VolleymomDee

they are sure gorgeous around here in the summer, but we do have to wash them well... the purple and periwinkle --ish colors were marvelous

12:52 am

melonheadjujube

and this is why I love Babble. I find like-minded souls who can rhapsodize about such things. . . :)

Night Jilli I sure enjoy your icons...always good to learn something or refresh what you filed away in the gray matter!

1:07 am

grannyrose

yes, dee. it didn't stop it, but it wasn't as severe as without it.

1:07 am

westford

it was her own recipe and I made it today talk about delicious!!

1:07 am

flosey

need the word following the beautiful flower, any clues please?

1:07 am

westford

haven't seen her in such a long time

1:08 am

VolleymomDee

need to decide soon if I am going to get one. I did get the regular one..

1:08 am

grannyrose

french for small, flosey

1:08 am

joey

westford, can you please post it in your profile? i would love to have it. thanks

1:08 am

jillibus

no H1N1 shot here, considered not urgent for us oldies -- got a seasonal flu shot then got sick, not a good time for getting shots

1:08 am

westford

is that the Michelangelo one flosey?

1:08 am

joey

or email it to me?

1:08 am

westford

okay joey

1:08 am

flosey

thanks granny

1:08 am

joey

thanks

1:09 am

Atalante

my dr keeps trying to give me a swine flu shot but I've always got flu when he tries

1:09 am

BabbleRabble

How are you doing, joey?

1:09 am

VolleymomDee

that is why I am vascillating about whether I want to get it or not jili... just not sure what to do

1:09 am

flosey

I remember seeing that recipe west but guess I didn't take it down

1:09 am

VolleymomDee

that is what I am afraid of ata

1:09 am

joey

not a good day today, didn't feel very well and had to go to a viewing.

1:09 am

grannyrose

that's strange, jilli.our health department is offering them for free to anyone who wants it.

1:09 am

joey

thanks for asking. 5 down, 1 to go. have to get over this one first

1:10 am

Atalante

if you've got a temperature, they won't give you the shot

1:10 am

VolleymomDee

so sorry joey

1:10 am

VolleymomDee

I could have pneumonia and not have a fever

1:11 am

Atalante

we were told you can have the jab if you're ill, just not if you have a fever

1:11 am

MPittore

Absolutely no reaction...it is a killed virus so there is no reaction to the virus...but sometimes the body can have a mild reaction to receiving an injection or the formation of the antibodies but not the flu...as long as you are not allergic to eggs which are used in developing the vaccine...reaction range from a little sore at injection site to mild fever or mild headache...nothing to worry about...my grandchildren had the nasal form of vacine, several family mbrs had it and no one had a reaction

1:11 am

grannyrose

dee, if you're young enough with no other co-morbidities like asthma, you will probably be okay

1:11 am

VolleymomDee

ty so much mpitt and granny... encouraging to know

1:13 am

grannyrose

mind you, having said that, i was so grateful to have had the shot. this flu made me weak as a kitten, and deathly tired.

1:13 am

flosey

last word, need the at5/14, any clues please?

1:13 am

joey

ends with a man's nickname

1:13 am

Atalante

different last letter to the at5/10

1:14 am

grannyrose

put sometimes vowel on end of at5, instead of what is there

1:14 am

VolleymomDee

my cold / sinus infection / virus also made me feel awful granny, which is why I started thinking about getting the swine flu shot, and I saw it advertised tonight that one of our pharmacies is offering them

1:14 am

flosey

westford

I'm learning a lot from the PC crowd

1:38 am

lynxxx

You can usually buy the keypad and get it replaced MP - I know I need to do it too - probably about $80 including getting it put in

1:40 am

westford

I've tried magic marker in the past didn't work too well

1:40 am

lynxxx

hi Mills, I had thought about that but decided it would look awful - I have so many letters missing

1:41 am

westford

my newest laptop keyboard is not wearing out so that's good

1:41 am

westford

had a jar candle with molten wax in it that I spilled all over the last one

1:42 am

westford

1:42 am

MPittore

I will try that mills...I'm a bit artsy so that will help in the interim..by the way I can't cut and paste or Print screen the highlighted recipe...

1:43 am

westford

1:43 am

lynxxx

Here is my recipe for FABULOUS Thai peanut chicken, in the crock pot:

In your crock pot, put 2 cans (each can is about 15 ounces) of Ro-Tel brand chopped tomatoes with chiles, and about 3/4 cup of peanut butter (any kind will do, smooth or chunky, brand-name or not, "natural" or not)

Let that warm in the crock pot until the peanut butter melts. While that is happening, take the skin off the chicken. I use 2 breasts and 6 legs. You can use thighs if you want, or use boneless chicken breasts. Make sure all skin is off.

Now stir the mixture in the crock pot. Then add 1/2 can (total of about 8 ounces) Coconut Milk or Coconut Milk "Lite". Mix that up. Then put the chicken pieces in. Cover the crock pot and simmer on high about 4-5 hours. You'll know when it's done because the chicken willl be falling off the bones. Serve over rice, and garnish with chopped cilantro.

broll

1:50 am

jillibus

I don't have a crock pot and Ro-Tel isn't a brand I know of here :(

1:51 am

MPittore

lynxxx that worked....the ctrl c & v & P wouldn't work for me...must be aliens in my pc trying to prevent me from cooking up the fab recipe! Anyway I have it now...will make it when we get back! Hey, I was supposed to go to bed an hour ago....gotta go need all the beauty rest I can get...*giggle* *wink*...niters all...Thank you!

1:51 am

lynxxx

Gad the mouse behaved...goodnight MP

1:51 am

westford

jilli you really don't need a crock pot it would do fine in a pot on the stove and just use chopped tomatoes and add a can of green chiles if you like spicy

1:52 am

westford

glad it worked mpit sleep well

1:52 am

westford

I used boneless chicken breasts though

1:52 am

MPittore

FMitch

2:39 am

FMitch

what did you eat?

2:41 am

rubyfoo

the Swedish host did the cooking: homemade duck liver pate, wild boar w/mushrooms, fruit marinated in cognac since last summer and a lovely assortment of alcohols. My husband doesn't eat game!

2:50 am

Atalante

Hi Katie!

2:53 am

rubyfoo

my husband puts out sunflower seed 3X/day as we have about a million, mostly drab, birds and the dog sits under the feeder and watches like it's tv

2:54 am

FMitch

2:56 am

Haz1558

Hello! I can relate to the bird feeding, it's like running a day-time restaurant here. One of these days the birds aren'g going to achieve lift-off because they've eaten so much. HELLO ATA!

FMitch

Haz1558

Have a kleenex balsam, Ata.

2:57 am

FMitch

2:57 am

Atalante

Haz loves me more. She gave me balsam

2:58 am

FMitch

*sigh*

2:58 am

Haz1558

I know what you like, you see.

2:59 am

Haz1558

So, are you all blanketed in snow?

2:59 am

Atalante

2:59 am

KatieMcG

2:59 am

Atalante

oh haz, do you see the programme last night about police dogs?

2:59 am

rubyfoo

2:59 am

Haz1558

Yes, I did!

3:00 am

Atalante

3:00 am

Haz1558

I saw Diesel and thought of Hobbit.

3:00 am

FMitch

Totally snowed in here9 inches and it is still snowing :(

3:00 am

Atalante

I hoped you did

3:00 am

Haz1558

They were fabulous.

3:00 am

Haz1558

Oh, poor FM and Katie! The forecasters were right.

3:01 am

FMitch

Glad I bought my wellies the other day.

3:01 am

Atalante

"sunrise" this morning -> http://tinyurl.com/yllfkue

3:02 am

Haz1558

Is snow on the way for you, Ata, or will you escape? We haven't had any more but what we had is still lying. Poor husband is having a horrible time trying to get round the countryside. Two vets in the practice have already pranged their cars.

3:02 am

Atalante

and it's snowing

3:02 am

KatieMcG

we only have about 3 inches but really hard to get off the estate, it's snowing again and I have no desire to go on a 125 mile round trip to the office

3:02 am

Atalante

too right! stay in the warm

3:03 am

Atalante

it's just started to snow and look like it means it. before this we had a few flakes here and there

3:03 am

Haz1558

Ah now, if it had been wartime, we'd have been told to Dig for Victory and Keep calm and carry on.

3:03 am

rubyfoo

hahah

3:03 am

FMitch

Oh Ata those pics are lovely - was thinking of you this morning and wishing I had your camera to take some pics of the scenes here.

3:03 am

KatieMcG

crumble was really funny yesterday snow landed on her and she was really scared

3:04 am

rubyfoo

in france in the war, they would have just started practicing their german by the fire....

3:04 am

Atalante

poor Crumble!!

3:04 am

Atalante

I so nearly didn't bother taking my camera this morning, and was so glad I did!

3:04 am

KatieMcG

thick crumble

3:05 am

FMitch

am going to see if I have a working camera shortly so I can take some pics.

3:05 am

Atalante

oooooo cool!

3:07 am

FMitch

my old Pntax is letting light in and I don't have film for it. Two others are filmless and the digital ones have run out of battery power - Oh to have one working thing!

3:07 am

Atalante

run out of battery power? recharge the batteries then!!

3:08 am

KatieMcG

well put!

3:08 am

FMitch

Can't find the charger duh!

3:08 am

Atalante

get a new one!

3:08 am

FMitch

and before anyone say it - my mobile phone does not take pics it just does phone calls OK!

3:09 am

Haz1558

Somebody else is sensitive this morning..... I'll be the diplomatic, soothing one.

3:09 am

FMitch

*grin*

3:10 am

KatieMcG

gasp - can you get phone that only take calls!

3:10 am

Atalante

*mentions tesco*

3:10 am

rubyfoo

please, could use some soothing

3:10 am

FMitch

well you try waking up to power cuts and huge amounts of snow!

3:10 am

Haz1558

Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out. Repeat after me - OMMMMMMMMMMMM.

3:11 am

FMitch

you can mention tescos as much as you want but it is unobtainable right now.

3:11 am

FMitch

OMMMMMMMMMMM

3:11 am

Haz1558

Power cuts? You didn't mention power cuts before.

3:11 am

Haz1558

Lower pitch, FM, lower pitch. Try it again. OMMMMMM.

3:12 am

FMitch

I did in the emergency email I sent to you and Ata at the crack of dawn.

3:12 am

KatieMcG

OMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

3:12 am

FMitch

ommmmmmmm

3:12 am

Haz1558

Oh! I haven't checked my e-mails yet.

3:12 am

FMitch

oh that is working

3:12 am

Haz1558

That's much better. The OMMMMMMMMs are coming along nicely.

3:13 am

FMitch

ooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

3:13 am

rubyfoo

OOMMMM is where the eart is

3:13 am

Haz1558

Now, I want you to get into the lotus position. This should be accomplished in one smooth motion. Resume the OMMMMMMMM afterwards.

3:13 am

Atalante

nor me! great help, aren't we?

3:13 am

FMitch

LOL ruby

3:13 am

Haz1558

Ata, we'd have been rubbish during the war.

3:13 am

KatieMcG

3:13 am

rubyfoo

I thought thge power only went out here!

3:14 am

Haz1558

Are you all in the Lotus position?

3:14 am

lynxxx

Panic waves emanating from Great Britian!

3:14 am

FMitch

3:14 am

FMitch

hells bells it is snowing up a storm here

3:14 am

KatieMcG

I think I have pulled something

3:14 am

Haz1558

We're not panicking, lynxxx. Stiff upper lips, lots of ommmmmming and cups of tea will get us through this.

3:15 am

FMitch

Oh BTW Haz you have to plan to come over here late Feb or early March.

3:15 am

Atalante

a *lot* of tea

3:15 am

Haz1558

Although if the upper lip is allowed to get too stiff, dear knows how we'll drink our tea.

3:15 am

Atalante

I was in TESCO at 7am this morning buying milk supplies!

3:15 am

millsbooks

3:15 am

3:16 am

millsbooks

3:17 am

Dippnall

lynxxx

FMitch

3:17 am

Haz1558

lynxxx

FMitch

3:20 am

Haz1558

Bye ruby, enjoy the snow.

3:21 am

Atalante

katie

3:21 am

FMitch

I am now getting fed up of looking out the window and seeing it is still snowing :(

3:21 am

FMitch

oh yes!

3:22 am

FMitch

Katie - can you come?

3:26 am

Haz1558

It'll depend if she can get out of the estate.

3:26 am

Atalante

or if she's snowed under with work

3:27 am

Haz1558

Or if Crumble will let her go.

3:27 am

lynxxx

I think she is writhing on the ground in agony (she last said she thought she had pulled something - and I don't think it was a fella)

3:27 am

Haz1558

Is she still in the Lotus position?

3:27 am

lynxxx

lol - maybe

3:28 am

Atalante

not sure you're meant to be able to writhe lotus-like

3:28 am

Haz1558

Oh dear. I forget that not everyone is as lithe and supple and as masterful in yoga as me.

3:29 am

FMitch

ROFL - yeah right!!!

3:29 am

Haz1558

You can't see it, but my face is all amazement. Do I detect a note of incredulity from FM?

3:30 am

Atalante

I was just thinking that!

3:30 am

FMitch

loving the chat but I must get on and do significant stuff - have no idea what that is but is sounds good.

3:30 am

Haz1558

One advantage of being small is that you're that much closer to the ground and therefore more easily able to slip into yoga positions.

3:31 am

Atalante

fine. go and do something better than spend time with us

3:31 am

Atalante

ha! it's stopped snowing

3:31 am

Haz1558

Significant stuff? This isn't significant enough for you?

3:31 am

Haz1558

Learning yoga, saying ommmmmmmmm and finding words? What could be better than this?

3:31 am

KatieMcG

snowing heavily here

3:32 am

Dippnall

where are you katie?

3:32 am

KatieMcG

Tamworth in Staffordshire

3:32 am

Atalante

it's not really meant to get here till much later, if at all

3:32 am

KatieMcG

Sorry just gone back in the chog, the shock of it - I was working! I would love to come :-)

3:32 am

FMitch

OK I will stay a while.

3:33 am

Haz1558

That's more like it, FM.

3:33 am

Atalante

well that took a lot of persuading :D

3:33 am

Dippnall

bit south of me - it's lovely and bright here - just lots of snow all over the place!

3:33 am

FMitch

:)

3:33 am

Atalante

yay katie!

3:34 am

Atalante

Jac will want to come too :)

3:35 am

FMitch

oh yes of course!!!

3:35 am

FMitch

Great - will be a blast!

3:35 am

Atalante

I knew we were mising someone!

3:36 am

FMitch

There are loads of good B&Bs and htel round here.

3:37 am

Frances

ace

3:37 am

FMitch

plus plenty of carpet space in the house :)

3:37 am

Haz1558

You need to keep the carpet space clear for the yoga.

3:37 am

Atalante

and for Hobbit :P

3:38 am

FMitch

ooooommmmmmmmmmmm

3:38 am

FMitch

dogs and cats are welcome :)

3:39 am

Haz1558

Keep the pitch a little lower, FM, otherwise you're doing well.

3:39 am

FMitch

new bed is due to be delivered in about 10 days - can't wait!

3:39 am

Atalante

Haz has to bring spangle

3:39 am

FMitch

*ooommmmmm* is that better Haz?

3:40 am

Atalante

are you breathing properly?

3:40 am

Haz1558

Yes, that's better. Soon we'll be progressing to AHHHHHHH.

3:41 am

Haz1558

But only when everyone has mastered the OMMMMM and is comfortable to move on.

3:41 am

FMitch

gosh - not sure I can cope with that!

3:41 am

FMitch

gosh - not sure I can cope with that!

3:41 am

Atalante

thats the advanced level

3:42 am

Haz1558

People sometimes do have these crises of confidence. You'll overcome it, FM, just remember your breathing.

3:42 am

Haz1558

I think you were put off your stroke by the thought of your new bed.

3:42 am

Haz1558

Is it a four-poster?

3:44 am

Atalante

either she can't remember or she's not telling

3:44 am

Haz1558

Don't just breathe out, FM, remember to keep breathing in. You're looking a wee bit red.

3:45 am

FMitch

No - had a 4 poster before ,this is just a wonderful iron beadstead . Sorry have jsut had a huge sneezing fit!

3:45 am

Haz1558

That's the Ommmmmmmmmm clearing out the system. It's wonderful for sinuses.

3:46 am

Atalante

is that your sincere font?

3:46 am

Haz1558

All my fonts are sincere!

3:47 am

FMitch

*snot*

3:47 am

Haz1558

See? Those sinuses are clearing wonderfully but we don't need all the details, FM.

3:47 am

FMitch

LOL!!!

3:47 am

lynxxx

I so hope that was meant to be snort

3:47 am

Atalante

too much detail of that sort of thing earlier today

3:47 am

Haz1558

Some things are best left unsaid.

3:48 am

Haz1558

Did someone else have sinus problems? Did yoga and heavy breathing cure them as well?

3:49 am

Atalante

they were talking about neti pots again

3:49 am

FMitch

*blushes* sorry and yes lynnx and all that was supposed to be snort.

3:49 am

Haz1558

I'm kind of scared to enquire further about neti pots.

3:50 am

Atalante

saline ... nose ...

3:50 am

Atalante

they scare me

3:50 am

lynxxx

enough, enough!

3:50 am

Atalante

dc uses his twice a day!

3:51 am

FMitch

ewwww

3:51 am

Haz1558

I've just googled.

3:51 am

Haz1558

Now I'm goggling.

3:51 am

lynxxx

now I'm gagging

3:51 am

Haz1558

Okay, moving the conversation swiftly past neti pots and sinuses - how's Stew, lynxxx?

3:52 am

FMitch

power is going a bit again so TTFN and Happy Babbling.

3:52 am

Atalante

*hugs hugs fm*

3:52 am

Haz1558

Bye FM - see you later! Put a flag on top of your car so youcan find it again!

3:52 am

lynxxx

he's fine - a bit mopy - he didn't get to go in "the car" today

3:53 am

lynxxx

bye FM - have a good day

3:53 am

Atalante

I saw a Stew while walking the mutt this morning. They are sooo beuatiful and graceful

3:53 am

Haz1558

Poor Stew, denied his treat.

3:53 am

Atalante

where did Spangle sleep last night?

3:54 am

Haz1558

In the kennel.

3:54 am

lynxxx

can borrow your 'smug' for a bit Ata

3:54 am

Atalante

oo!

3:54 am

Atalante

you may :)

3:54 am

Haz1558

I know, but it wasn't quite as cold last night as before.

3:55 am

Haz1558

(Waiting with anticipation of lynxxx's smug announcement)

3:55 am

Atalante

but it's good to know that she will settle in the kitchen, if the night really is *that* cold

3:55 am

Haz1558

Yes, it's always a Plan B.

3:56 am

Atalante

it's meant to reach -20 over here at some point this week

3:56 am

lynxxx

my smug was my beautiful and graceful hound

3:56 am

Atalante

if it does, I'm kidnapping next door neighbour's cat, cos that's way too cold for Freddie to have to sleep outside

3:57 am

Atalante

beautiful and graceful until he has a mad spell :)

3:57 am

Haz1558

Oh! Of course you can be smug about how beautiful Stew is.

3:57 am

Haz1558

Does Freddie have no shelter at all?

3:57 am

Atalante

and then they turn into 95% uncoordinated legs

3:58 am

lynxxx

good timing, he's just started this minute. BBL

3:58 am

Atalante

not really if his owner turfs him outside. there's no way he can get back indoors. he has a little hollow he's made in the hedge, and if one of the garages is open, he'll sneak inside there

3:58 am

Haz1558

See you later, lynxxx.

3:59 am

Atalante

I try and leave my porch door open for him, even though he doesn't really like coming in - he's very definitely an outdoor cat

3:59 am

Haz1558

Poor Freddie. I think you'd be right to borrow him if only to let you sleep happily knowing that he's not freezing to death.

4:00 am

Atalante

exactly!!

4:00 am

Norma

Morning babblers can anyone clue the in5 please ;o)

4:00 am

Atalante

I mean, he's got a huge amount of fur, and there are a lot of non-snowy places round here that he could curl up into. But there's a point where really he needs access to warmth

4:01 am

Atalante

if I could, I would!

4:01 am

Haz1558

in5/16 - the conversation in***iably comes round to pets.

4:02 am

Atalante

oh, ok. ah, well done, Haz, I was just trying to think of something!

4:02 am

Atalante

pets or bottoms

4:02 am

Atalante

or sinuses

4:02 am

Haz1558

And sometimes both combined!

4:02 am

Norma

Thanks Haz great clue ...

4:02 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, Norma.

4:02 am

Atalante

indeed!

4:08 am

Haz1558

Right, I'm going to head off and get some things done. I'll check in later. Bye for now!

4:08 am

Atalante

bye dear!

4:09 am

Haz1558

Oh, and if anybody is still in the Lotus position and saying Ommmmmmmmm, you can stop now. The neighbours might talk.

4:09 am

Haz1558

Bye!

4:13 am

Sally-catlover

Hi all. I'm not in the lotus position, because I can't Babble if I do that.

4:16 am

5:47 am

gran

Thanks

5:48 am

herinfernallady

Why do they make movies and clearly screw it up Geographically

5:49 am

Sally-catlover

Money? stupidity?

5:50 am

herinfernallady

The place is set in London but its clearly Melbourne Australia (a Melbourne Tram went past and there is an Aussie Post box)

5:50 am

Brookie

Hello everyone, and I've made the same observation about movies, herin

5:51 am

Brookie

Also, in the U.S., they seem to always film around L.A. (I can tell by their unique vegetation) when the plot is set elsewhere

5:51 am

Sally-catlover

lol, herin! Reminds of TV adaptation of the Thorn Birds, which I didn't see. An Oz friend of mine did, and was screaming blue murder that it was so obviously filmed in US and not Oz.

5:52 am

herinfernallady

See Brookie a tree or plant is something a native would see. But this is clearly Aus

5:52 am

Sally-catlover

Also American film makers in particular seem to be a bit free with historical facts.

5:52 am

Brookie

That is true!

5:53 am

Sally-catlover

What's the particular film set in London, herin?

5:53 am

herinfernallady

Sally your friend is right about Thorn Birsds

5:53 am

herinfernallady

I am watching Nightmares and dreamscrapes and yes it is set in London

5:53 am

Sally-catlover

She was very scathing.

5:54 am

herinfernallady

London doesn't have trams

5:54 am

Sally-catlover

There are some in Croydon, a south London suburb.

5:54 am

herinfernallady

I know that Queen of the Damned was filmed in Australia but it was done well enough to be non geographical

5:55 am

herinfernallady

Sally do your trams have Yarra Trams on them? cause these did and there was the town hall in Melb

5:55 am

Sally-catlover

lol herin, not usually! Very careless film-making.

5:56 am

Merk

... and Fireworks!

5:56 am

Sally-catlover

I see it is a Stephen King story. He is American isn't he?

5:56 am

herinfernallady

It is Stephen King. and another thing I am fairly sure London central doesn't have metal bins

5:56 am

herinfernallady

Yah Merk

5:57 am

Sally-catlover

Wouldn't have thought it was cheaper for them to film in Melbourne than in London.

5:58 am

Merk

ty ... see you tomorrow perhaps

5:58 am

Sally-catlover

They must be stupid to think the audience wouldn't know the difference.

5:58 am

Sally-catlover

You've suddenly changed your flag, Merk.

5:59 am

herinfernallady

Melbourne has a good film history

5:59 am

Merk

Yes, I forgot to change it when I arrived and just got around to it now.

6:00 am

Merk

I'm still jet lagged. I struggled to stay awake to finish this before I go to an early bed.

6:00 am

herinfernallady

O merk

6:01 am

Merk

I'll eventually catch up on my sleep, but it's always a struggle for me at first.

6:02 am

herinfernallady

Merk you teaching again?

6:02 am

Brookie

Sorry to interrupt the convo, but may I have a clue for the ca9?

6:03 am

Sally-catlover

Something you drive in, + negative word, plus US spelling of not loose

6:03 am

Sally-catlover

Sort of

6:03 am

Brookie

Thanks sally, got it!

6:03 am

Sally-catlover

Not very exact clue!

6:04 am

Sally-catlover

I was so trying to make carnvore for that one.

6:06 am

herinfernallady

Thank you

6:09 am

6:51 am

rubyfoo

evidently they are setting record low temps for florida. lived there for many years, saw snow once in Miami on Christmas day

6:51 am

redturtlehead

I think its someone who performs on stage.

6:51 am

oodleberry

i want to know if there is going to be even a crop and why not

6:51 am

crosshair

i had one lady from the sates ask me once if we really grew christmas trees up here lol

6:52 am

herinfernallady

Do you like oranges? They are the bane of evil in this house

6:52 am

crosshair

states

6:52 am

redturtlehead

Well, they have been harvesting oranges since October/November so there has been a crop, btu now I think a lot will be sold for juicing.

6:52 am

oodleberry

i love all citrus

6:53 am

herinfernallady

Himself is allergic to citrus thus not in this house. I love them

6:53 am

Jayk

Crossy--the first non-word i saw this morning was one i knew would make you crazy!

6:53 am

redturtlehead

bacon?

6:53 am

crosshair

i can see this little grid is full of un-words

6:54 am

Jayk

You bet, bacon

6:54 am

herinfernallady

I had bacon and Icecream on holidays I was given the oddest look

6:54 am

oodleberry

evidently for juicing... they can do anything else with them but if that is to ensure them of not losing there present crop then that is good... I thought it was a short growing season but it goes from october to what month red please

6:55 am

crosshair

yes,i see that my beloved bacon is but a phantom today

6:55 am

oodleberry

*can't

6:55 am

crosshair

dont let them get you down herin,they are just jealous of your bacon awareness:0

6:55 am

oodleberry

*cries for cross*

6:56 am

oodleberry

omg bacon and ice cream ... salt and sweet ... interesting

6:57 am

herinfernallady

The waitress came out and and asked if i wanted cream or ice cream on my pancakes and as i had a side of bacon ice cream it was.

6:57 am

herinfernallady

Oddle the bacon has to be fresh and it works well with ice cream and maple syrup (the real deal not the fauz stuff)

6:58 am

oodleberry

oh that's right I fergit about maple syrup but I cannot do it... it is against my religion to... :D

6:58 am

crosshair

bacon gum,bacon iced cream.bacon smoothies,bacon and egg pies,cheese with bacon infused in it,bacon weaves,bacon explosion,bacon and onion sammies,bacon vodka..a whole world to explore herin!!

6:58 am

herinfernallady

omg OODle you are the in the land of drool maple syrup

6:58 am

Jayk

clue for the ro 5/10 pls?

6:59 am

oodleberry

we have some of the best maple syrup here in quebec, lady

6:59 am

herinfernallady

Bacon sarnies are teh best

6:59 am

herinfernallady

it costs us about $10 to get the proper stuff from canada

6:59 am

crosshair

my bacon and oodles maple syrup....magic;))

6:59 am

oodleberry

yes we are... and how much do you pay for REAL maple syrup there

6:59 am

redturtlehead

I gotta admit I don't know, but the shippers start shipping in October, this is the peak time, but these things do happen. Some bigger growers will have protected the crops, fruit will just cost more.

7:00 am

herinfernallady

Sounds like the Indian bread Jay

7:00 am

oodleberry

ok herin woul dyou let me ask my questions please ... stop answering them before I ask them HEE HEE HEE HEE too funny

7:00 am

herinfernallady

We tend to get a lot of stuff from the USA food store.

7:00 am

crosshair

the top grade amber syrup is expensive anywhere.14 dollars a litre is average

7:01 am

oodleberry

7:03 am

oodleberry

but cross I am in maple syrup country

7:04 am

oodleberry

do you get the cans there cross?

7:05 am

herinfernallady

I personally feel that the flavoured syrup should be banned. Its not real

7:05 am

oodleberry

sorry cross ... you are right...

7:05 am

oodleberry

I keep on thinking a litre is a pint and it is a kilo in weight

7:06 am

herinfernallady

250 mil is a quart of a litre

7:06 am

oodleberry

thinking of those little bottles of water are litres and they are 500 ml

7:07 am

herinfernallady

That is not right a litre is 1000mil or 30 ounce

7:07 am

herinfernallady

opps I think that is 32 ounces

7:07 am

oodleberry

and I got 375 for cheap and it was on sale ... I should have stocked up on it because I love it so much

7:08 am

crosshair

lol get your metric all worked out?

7:08 am

oodleberry

yes but I am used to cups pints quarts and gallons

7:08 am

oodleberry

7:09 am

crosshair

we tap the trees here also oodles,but i will conced the the quebec stuff is superior

7:09 am

herinfernallady

Can you have the sap like that or does it have to be a processed?

7:09 am

crosshair

has to be processed

7:10 am

herinfernallady

Ok.

7:10 am

oodleberry

40 - 1 ratio herin

7:10 am

crosshair

as i reall the ratio is 40 pails of raw sap to 1 u.s galln of syrup

7:10 am

herinfernallady

Yep I was right. 1 litre is 33 Ounces

7:10 am

crosshair

damn typos

7:11 am

oodleberry

AND there MUST be freezing at night and defrost during the day for it to produce the sap

7:11 am

crosshair

indeed

7:11 am

redturtlehead

well, its just freezing now!

7:11 am

herinfernallady

Still would like to know who decided that eating sap from a tree would be so tasty

7:11 am

oodleberry

stidmama

hey soodles! hey oodles! hello everyone

10:00 am

Soodlebum

Hey Stid :)

10:02 am

stidmama

down to 30 (was at 40 when I said hello). this seems an easy grid.

10:03 am

stidmama

anyway, it's time for me to get going. school starts in two hours and it's hard to find parking close to the building... even the handicapped spots are full these days. *sad mama look* they keep adding students, cutting staff and services.

10:03 am

stidmama

how are you doing soodles, before I head out? are you getting hit with all that snow and cold still?

10:04 am

Soodlebum

Oh My, Stid - its minus 8 here!! The whole country has ground to a halt! Global warming my a**!!!!

10:04 am

stidmama

oh dear, soodles. I am so sorry.

10:05 am

stidmama

it is warmer than normal here. though last month it was considerably colder than normal. Nothing seems predictable about seasons or weather these days.

10:05 am

Soodlebum

Whats the weather like where u are. Stid?

10:06 am

Soodlebum

I know!! Still - its lovely to sit indoors and look out at it!

10:06 am

stidmama

normally, it's rarely much below freezing even in the winter because we are so close to the water. The last few years we have had some rather persistent snow (I put up lots of photos last year of the ongoing snows, still on my website somewhere).

10:07 am

stidmama

this year, we had a real cold snap down below zero for more than a week (didn't get above zero that is). Unfortunately, it didn't snow, so I suspect some of my tubers and bulbs didn't make it because there was no insulation for them.

10:07 am

Soodlebum

Like I say - Global warming, my a**!!

10:08 am

stidmama

I would not mind so much if it snowed... at least then we would have an excuse to stay home and hang out.

10:08 am

VanTheMan

global warming means that weather extremes of all kinds become more common, so this snow doesn't mean there is no such thing

10:08 am

kje

complete misunderstanding of global warming

10:08 am

kje

yes van

10:08 am

stidmama

hello Van and kje --- soodles and I know that. but from our perspectives, right now, it's hardly warmer.

10:09 am

Soodlebum

I know, kje! But, its just the way the phrase has been bandied about - it is quite misleading!

10:09 am

stidmama

last summer we had record high temperatures in July and August. So we are seeing a yearly increase in average (mean) temperatures, and more extreme temps and weather at both ends.

10:10 am

kje

no, it is what it is... overall average temps are higher resulting in changes in things such as the ice caps which then create other climate changes in more temperate zones

10:10 am

10:11 am

it's wreaking havoc on our snowpack, which makes me nervous about water supply over the next few decades. My parents' home water supply is fed by glacial aquifer from hundreds of miles away.

10:11 am

but I will stand here and wave goodbye as any good pal would do ; )

10:11 am

stidmama

our home is ground water-fed, which is likely to be depleted if many more homes are put in locally (we all have private wells)

10:12 am

rururocks

(actually most of the town of Pacifica IS falling into the ocean)

10:12 am

there is a place in NYCity that makes the best chocolate pudding I've ever had

i'm doing well, stid. how's the tummy?

7:43 pm

stidmama

my computer is booting up SOOOOOO slowly

7:43 pm

stidmama

LOL yes, that was last summer, LBD. it's grown out a bit since then.

7:44 pm

stidmama

tummy is better, still a bit of a wimp at times, but I am eating real food again.

7:44 pm

stidmama

how was your visit with the grands, LBD? I never did hear!

7:45 pm

lbdawger

so glad to hear you're feeling weller!

7:45 pm

Nancy Boy

Stid, that's a great pic!

7:45 pm

lbdawger

visit with the grands was amazing. The baby is just too adorable! the loudest noise she made sounded more like humming

7:45 pm

stidmama

yep, me too! I have to get up early (5:30) tomorrow to go do my practicum in a nearby town. VERY excited, and very nervous.

7:46 pm

stidmama

thanks Nancy Boy! how are you doing? recovered from your revels?

7:46 pm

lbdawger

Grandson is a four year old terror! but he loves his grampa and loves shoveling snow!

7:46 pm

lbdawger

NANCYBOY!!!

7:46 pm

Nancy Boy

Just about Stid :) though it feels (and sounds!) like if you live where I live, every night is NYE...

7:46 pm

stidmama

so glad you had a good time with the little ones. I was looking at a few pics of my boys with Mother when they were little. Such a precious, wondrous time in a child's life.

7:46 pm

Nancy Boy

Ibd!! I haven't seen you on here in aaaages :D

7:46 pm

stidmama

4 year olds are GOOD helpers!

7:47 pm

wht

Why is it that kid's loose interest in shoveling snow just when they are old enough to get good at it?

7:47 pm

lbdawger

Been busy with the grandkids and family, NB. had to do the grid at o'dark early before everyone was up and making noise!

7:48 pm

Nancy Boy

ugh...well I have just been enjoying all this GREAT snow...it's incredible!

7:48 pm

lbdawger

Grandson didn't want to use the "little boy" shovel. he used a regulation shovel and did a great job on the driveway!

7:48 pm

stidmama

LOL wht! beats me, but the same happened with dusting, sweeping and vacuuming.

7:49 pm

lbdawger

he's definitely an outside boy. no help in the house except to make a mess with his daddy and grampa

7:50 pm

wht

For what it's worth, they seem to come back around somewhere around 20.

7:50 pm

Nancy Boy

so one year left before I'm helpful, wht? ;)

7:51 pm

lbdawger

I remember when my son turned into a human being. He was around 18. real amazing turn around.

7:51 pm

stidmama

or one year before you're useful, NB? *ducks withering glare*

7:51 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Ibd!

7:52 pm

Nancy Boy

you can't duck it Stid, it's like a snowball, no matter where you are it hits you riiiight in the face and also somehow trickles down your back ;)

7:52 pm

wht

Something like that, NB. But I am working with a sample size of 2.

7:52 pm

lbdawger

i love the comic strip Zits. that was so much my kid! obtuse to the world.

7:52 pm

stidmama

LOL *offers conciliatory choclits*

7:52 pm

Nancy Boy

but you're right, I'm not a useful person, I'm an...ornamental person *preens*

7:52 pm

lbdawger

NB, your usefulness here is pure entertainment!

7:53 pm

Jill reminded me of Zits when I was struggling with parenting teens a few years back... it helped me regain perspectivce.

7:55 pm

Don't be so sure, NB. You never know what might happen.

7:55 pm

It makes me feel like I am doing something, the Hostels like it and some of the homeless refuse to go to crash places because of the bedbugs and other filth that hostels don't have. (just an idea)

8:41 pm

Boobear

8:42 pm

Bugsaw

well done Pini. You were fast tonight

8:45 pm

gremlinn

does it get hectic in here when a new puzzle comes in?

8:45 pm

welki

guess i'd better fire off an apology.

8:46 pm

lbdawger

since he doesn't charge for the use, I don't think so, but I don't know if he keeps track of who he sends it out to or not.

8:46 pm

lbdawger

can't answer that, gremlinn, I'm not usually awake when the change occurs.

8:46 pm

gremlinn

guess I'll find out later tonight...

8:48 pm

gremlinn

ah, found the "view the entire chat log" thing...looks like it's not particularly hectic

8:49 pm

Bugsaw

gremlinn there is an etiquette at the change that says everyone searches like crazy for the first hour and just posts any long ones they find, like di7.

8:49 pm

lbdawger

you'll meet the real diehards at that hour, grem

8:49 pm

Bugsaw

You can begin to help each other with clues after the first hour but if it is a big grid, you may not have much luck.

8:50 pm

Bugsaw

LOL lbd, I am not a diehard, just in the right time zone. It happens at 10:00 pm here so I sometimes play for a while before bed

8:51 pm

torgone

Heyas kids ..

8:51 pm

Bugsaw

Hey torgone

8:51 pm

oodleberry

Donc Enomis? Tu es parfaitement bilingue? moi je me débrouille très bien en français mais je ne suis pas 'parfaitement' bilingue.

8:51 pm

lbdawger

just teasing, bugs. I've only done the flip a few times. it's fun, but my brain just isn't in gear to find many words

8:51 pm

Trifioso

hello torgone. You good today?

8:51 pm

lbdawger

hiya torg!

8:52 pm

oodleberry

hi torg

8:52 pm

torgone

I'm good ..You?

8:53 pm

Bugsaw

That is why I only work on it sometimes and just for a bit lbd, but there are some diehards from other time zones there! You are not far wrong.

8:53 pm

Bugsaw

I just didn't want gremlinn to be intimidated and not come

8:53 pm

Trifioso

pretty good today, thanks. getting a new 'do tomorrow, and then working --> rather chuffed about both!

8:54 pm

oodleberry

I am too tired to wait for the flip... I had a hard time staying awake for new years let alone waiting for 01h00 for the flip....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

8:54 pm

lbdawger

Oh, I think Grem will be brave and hop right in. I think we've got another convert! :-)

8:54 pm

torgone

How is work Trifs?

8:54 pm

Enomis65

Oodle, je suis assez bilingue je ne sais pas si c'est parfait mais c'est assez pour me faire comprendre!

Enomis65

AArgh, I did a srurious it's there.

10:58 pm

Jacula

Or even a spurious its.

10:59 pm

Jacula

Yes, this keyboard IS dead; it's even harder to type on than the old sit up and beg manual keyboards I originally learned to touch type back in the late 60s.

11:02 pm

Jacula

And, in those days, using carbon paper to make copies, if you made a mistake and you weren't ptoficient with a typewriter eraser (I was!) then you had to type th whole thing again.

11:02 pm

Jacula

z - sounds like a plan at 5.03 am.

I was lucky! Not only did I have a seasoned typist to teach me (my Mum) but also an artist's eye to get back to exactly the right place on the paper (my Dad's gift to me).

11:07 pm

Jacula

Back in th 70s, when I was a typing pool boss, many of my typists blessed me for that skill. LOL.

For 350 years it has been going under the book name Nipplewort, coined by John Parkinson:
"Camerarius [a Nuremberg physician and botanist] saith that in Prussia they call it Papillaris, because it is good to heale the ulcers of the nipples of womens breasts, and thereupon I have intituled it Nipplewort in English." Theatrum Botanicum; or an Herball of Large Extent, 1640, page 811.
