hey lynx
2:05 am

did you accidentally stick your finger into liquid nitrogen? have you eaten shellfish recently?
2:06 am
MPittore

np...there are so many strange things that happen to our bodies that are perfectly ok we are very complex beings LOL
2:06 am
lynxxx

shellfish causes cold fingers?
2:06 am
kje

now, ata... you I will slap
2:07 am
Atalante

shellfish poisoning can do, yep
2:07 am

hi ata
2:08 am
Atalante

paralytic shellfish poisonoing can cause pain / strange sensations in the peripheries of the body, but it doesn't tend to happen just to one finger!
2:08 am
kje

how is our hobbit (i see her so much I feel I am a stock holder)
2:08 am
MPittore

I think maybe due to the hour I am beginning to get a little "punchy" LOL
2:09 am

she slept with her head on my pillow next to me. I swear she thinks she's human!
2:09 am

Sily was between my feet. That's her little curl-up zone in the night
2:12 am

2:14 am
Atalante

I relaly needed them both last night, yesterday I spent in bed having a post-flu reaction day, freezing cold, horrid temperature, Hobbit slept along my back nearly all day. she's a wonderful hot water bottle

2:16 am

2:16 am
lynxxx

How was the 70 party, worth the trip?
2:17 am
Atalante

just about. it really was a lovely party - good food, good champagne, fun to catch up with friends, but it was *very* tiring. As I discovered yesterday!
2:18 am

it's only not nice in the way people say it, just think of it like that. It's a word, words have no scorn without feeling
2:23 am
Atalante

well thats my idealistic way of looking at things lol
2:24 am

The def here even says it is disparaging and offensive. Just not acceptable here at all
2:25 am

well, not being aussie, i had never heard of it and had no idea it was bad... just another babblet nonword to me

Good idea lynxxx I made a batch the other day for the freezer.

Its 8pm here and still 32 degrees - and I need/want to spread some soil wetter and chicken poo and top with sugarcane mulch and plant - don't think it is going to happen

There must be another haz, it's not me. I'm glad she's good, I'd hate for anybody to let down the name.

FM ... D didn't even notice I had a new dress :( He didn't even say I looked nice
3:07 am

Chicken poo isn't renowned for its fragrance.
3:07 am

hi lynxx aaaah, 32! can't remember what it's like to be warm
3:07 am
KatieMcG

in his defense he is a man!
3:07 am

Well, wear it on Friday and we'll be much more enthusiastic.
3:07 am
FMitch

I don't think so ruby.

*sighs at D*
3:08 am
Atalante

even a man should be able to come up with standard compliments!
3:08 am
lynxxx

lol, I know and its in the boot of my car - I can't lift it out
3:08 am
Atalante

I think I will!
3:08 am
FMitch

That will add a certain 'perfume' to the car lynxxx
3:08 am
KatieMcG

could we have a photo of it?
3:08 am
Haz1558

Of course he should be able to give compliments! *smug* I get complments occasionally.
3:08 am
Atalante

a photo of chicken poo? lovely! :P
3:09 am
KatieMcG

lol Ata
3:09 am
FMitch

Oh I found out it is quicker and faster for me to go Victoria than Waterloo.
3:09 am
KatieMcG

we established early on that 'fine' was not a compliment
3:09 am
Atalante

Victoria is the best :D
3:10 am
FMitch

better a 'fine' than nothing at all?
3:10 am
lynxxx

Bye for now - going to get the car cleared out at least and get everyone ready for dinner out
3:11 am
Atalante

I felt very guilty spending lots of money on a dress until I discovered he's going to spend £150 on a pillow with magnets in
3:11 am
FMitch

Bye lynxx
3:11 am
Atalante

bye lyn! bye stew!
3:11 am
Haz1558

Bye lynxxx, wear a mask or at least have a clothes peg handy!
3:11 am
KatieMcG

bye lynxxx
3:11 am
KatieMcG

never feel guilty about a new dress lol
3:11 am
Haz1558

Let me think about this. A pillow with magnets?
3:12 am
FMitch

a pillow with magnets? will it make him stop snoring?
3:12 am
KatieMcG

won't that be uncomfortable?
3:12 am
Atalante

apparently it'll make his neck better
3:13 am
Atalante

like this: http://www.discovermagnetics.com/magne

3:13 am
Haz1558

Is he quite susceptible to salesmen with a good line in patter?
3:13 am
FMitch

I bet if you just stopped trying to strangle im in his sleep his neck would get better :)
3:13 am
KatieMcG

lmao at Haz
3:15 am
Atalante

he went to an osteopath. the osteopath works for the magnetic pillow company ...
3:15 am
KatieMcG

how can todo not be a word, my life is run by my todo list
3:15 am
Haz1558

Oh! Another name, brother of Moses.
3:15 am
KatieMcG

*shaking head sadly at D*
3:16 am
Haz1558

But there's obviously no connection between the osteopath and his recommendations. That would be unprofessional and we would be foolish and cynical to suggest such a thing.
3:16 am
FMitch

Im afraid to type it Haz incase it is a real word as I still havent started but it starts with A.
3:16 am
Haz1558

You're right, and you can, it's not accepted.
3:17 am
Atalante

he becomes a devotee of whatever his current osteopath / alexander technique / whatever person says
3:18 am
FMitch

Back in 5
3:19 am
Haz1558

So, did whoever sold him the front door promise him any therapeutic success with it?
3:19 am
KatieMcG

oh my I'd forgotten about the front door
3:20 am
Atalante

I still think that thing must have secret stashes of gold in
3:20 am
Haz1558

Remind me how much he paid for it? I only ask because my sister in law got a new front door made and nearly fainted at the price.
3:20 am
KatieMcG

I don't think I every heard how expensive it was, just that it was very expensive!
3:21 am
Atalante

oh um ... I can't remember! £1,700 I *think*. We must have the most expensive front door ever
3:21 am
KatieMcG

OMG!
3:22 am
Haz1558

Gosh, it's still nearly twice the price of sister-in-law's and we were mesmerised at that.
3:22 am
KatieMcG

see I thought very expensive was about £700 I didn't know you could get them at that price
3:23 am
Atalante

I still have NO idea why it was worth that much!
3:23 am
KatieMcG

Haz I am so with you on this, we needed a new back door when we bought this house (catflap issues) and it cost nearly £500, I felt that I had been robbed at gunpoint
3:23 am
Haz1558

It's like anything else, you don't know prices of things until you start looking.
3:24 am
Haz1558

The awful thing was that sister-in-law had ordered it from a friend, never asked about price and then was completely taken aback with the price. It's beautiful, it's probably the going rate, but still.
3:24 am
Andree

hi everyone
3:25 am
Haz1558

Hello Andree!
3:25 am
rubyfoo

hi andree
3:25 am
KatieMcG

it is one of those things it is always better to ask just in case, you can get caught out so easily by things not being the price you thought they were
3:25 am
KatieMcG

hi andree

KatieMcG

Mari are you there?
3:26 am
FMitch

Hi Andree
3:27 am
KatieMcG

I'm trying to find a photography course at the moment and they are coming in at £500 and I had no idea until I started looking
3:27 am
Haz1558

It's one of the things that people on those property shows always get wrong. They set an arbitrary tiny figure for a build and then realise as they're going along that £.50 isn't going to get them much of a kitchen.
3:27 am
FMitch

Just been out to break the ice on the bird bath and am getting some dirly looks from the birds and their favourite bird seed feeder is empty
3:28 am
Haz1558

You've spoiled them, FM.
3:28 am
FMitch

2nd time this a.m that I have had to break it.
3:28 am
Andree

they will be grateful once they get a drink
3:28 am
KatieMcG

when we did Hubby's house up to sell we bought a new kitchen. The kitchen was very small and we bought the cheapest one there was and it still cost £1200
3:29 am
FMitch

Robin doesn't speak to me any more since I stopped buyin mealworms, his fav but too expensive.
3:29 am
KatieMcG

Robin ought to realise how lucky he is to have you!
3:29 am
FMitch

Anything to do with replacing or renovating a house is never cheap.
3:30 am
Haz1558

It's inevitable when they start doing up older properties that they find all sorts of things lurking underneath the dodgy plaster.
3:30 am
Andree

just calling a plumber can break the bank
3:30 am
KatieMcG

hubby works for a bathroom company and can get things at about 35% of sales price, a shower screen was still £100 I nearly went in to shock
3:31 am
KatieMcG

The shower curtain & pole cost £40 lol
3:31 am
Haz1558

Anything to do with showers is expensive. Putting in a new shower was definitely the most expensive part of putting in the new bathroom downstairs.
3:31 am
rubyfoo

this house had in-floor heating, shoddily done but we had no idea. And once a short happens, you're out of luchk unless you want to re-do the whole system. Who knew?
3:32 am
Atalante

well! apparently I wasn't ill yesterday, because it's been way too long now since I had flu for it to affect me
3:32 am
rubyfoo

Americans don't think about central heating.....silly me!
3:32 am

Chat time is over for me, I must get dressed and sally forth into the village before I start work. Seeyou all later I hope.
Happy babbling!

Bye FM!
3:32 am
KatieMcG

We have just done the upstairs one and are moving on to downstairs. We need a new shower but are keeping the base and door we have. Just really need to replace the green, orange and yellow tiles for something less vile
3:32 am
Andree

bye fm
3:32 am
KatieMcG

Bye FM
3:33 am
Haz1558

Katie, have you looked at the things they do now instead of tiles? Kind of board with all sorts of finishes.
3:34 am
Haz1558

There's a proper name for it, but I can't remember it - anyway, possibly dearer than tiles to begin with but it has the advantage of not needing grout and being very easy to keep clean.
3:35 am
KatieMcG

We were just going to go for those massive tiles you can get on the basis that the walls will not be straight enough for anything else, everything in this house is awful when you start doing it. Probably find that there is nothing behind the tiles and the walls have rotted
3:36 am
KatieMcG

I will have a look for that boarding though might we worth a go
3:36 am
KatieMcG

*be
3:37 am
Haz1558

It looks really well, but it is a more expensive option. We just liked the finish and the look that can be achieved with it.
3:38 am
Atalante

ok, I'm going to go and not be ill in bed, while there's some peace and quiet in the house
3:39 am
ChrissieDee

hi all - katie we had a similar problem. sed a type of pvc planking system. don't
3:39 am
Haz1558

It probably depends on whether you're going to be staying in the house yourselves for a long period - no point in putting it in if you're not going to get the benefit yourselves.
3:39 am
KatieMcG

we are doing one room at a time slowly now so it doesn't matter if it is more expensive now, we just want it to look good and last. We still have the hall and two bathrooms to do but I think the kitchen will last for a good few years yet
3:39 am
Haz1558

Enjoy the bed, Ata!
3:39 am
KatieMcG

Bye Ata
3:39 am
ChrissieDee

...don't know if that's what haz means but can highly recommend it
3:40 am
rubyfoo

bye ata
3:40 am
Haz1558

Yes, huge sheets of things that come with different finishes, they're made watertight with stainless steel fittings etc.
3:41 am
ChrissieDee

it came in lots of bathroom type finishes. we have a sort of marble effect and I love it
3:41 am
KatieMcG

We have decided that this is our home for life (well for a very long time) so we are doing things right. we have long conversations on whether to extend or put a conservatory on it or just fit a new kitchen in the existing space
3:41 am
KatieMcG

All this would be done much quicker if we didn't keep going on holiday lol
3:41 am
ChrissieDee

got to live for today too Katie
3:42 am
Haz1558

Yes, Chrissie, we're really happy with ours, it gives a very luxurious finish.
3:42 am
KatieMcG

I'm on a count down at the moment so seem to be living for 9 1/2 weeks lol
3:42 am
ChrissieDee

yours sounds "posher" than mine Haz, lol
3:43 am
ChrissieDee

*your's
3:43 am
KatieMcG

thank you both for the ideas I will have a look into it
3:43 am
Haz1558

I think you're wise, Katie, to put as much as you can afford into doing up the house properly. It's like anything else, you could blow the budget on a few things, or you could do a shoddy job for less but not have it last. The middle ground seems to work for us.
3:43 am
Haz1558

I don't know about 'posh' but it looks the part! And no scrubbing of grout!
3:44 am
KatieMcG

The last people did a shoddy job on everything so we have to correct their mistakes first. Luckily Bry and Mr Mari are great, and when we need to we get someone in
3:45 am
KatieMcG

I think we are off shopping before the football so will see you all later, thanks for the chat x
3:46 am
Haz1558

Bye, Katie, enjoy the day.

I knew if I waited long enough, Godot would finally show up!

But was it worth the wait?
3:48 am

Oh, yeah. On a diagonal, yet.

What nice ears you have, Haz
3:50 am
Haz1558

Why, thank you! I take it you mean <------ the dog's, although my own ears are okay, thought not as decorative.
3:51 am
jwr

Just a shortcut -- figured the dog was yours and thus the ears must belong to you also. But he (he?) does look sweet.
3:52 am
Haz1558

She is sweet. She's Spangle, a 9 year-old Welsh Springer Spaniel.
3:54 am
jwr

Just finished watching the Westminster Dog Show earlier this week. A spaniel swept the competitions -- but a really stuck-up spaniel, not at all Spangle-ish.
3:55 am
Haz1558

A spaniel with a nose in the air? They're usually frantically working with their nose to the ground, trying to get as much smell into their noses as possible. I must google to see what sort of spaniel it was.
3:56 am
jwr

Whoops! I take it back -- it was a Scottish terrier. Now I feel dog-gone stupid.
3:58 am
Haz1558

I've just seen it, a lovely looking dog!
4:01 am
jwr

I think most dogs -- with the exception of those bred for nastiness (shame!) -- are attractive and meant to be. Like babies. But then there aren't too many babies bred for fighting. I'm getting silly so I think it's bedtime -- if I can make it home from the office before falling into my own yawn. Nice talking with you. I've babbled 100 so it's time to go.
4:02 am
Haz1558

Hope you get home safely!

thnx, g'nite - to you and all. poof

Ruby, you'll probably find that most people who have been playing for a long time pay no attention to the rankings. You do get penalised for starting and not finishing a grid.
4:12 am
rubyfoo

I've been trying to "wing it" without lists, so I go as far as I can and then, satisfied with the effort, stop.
4:12 am
rubyfoo

so I won't look any more
4:12 am
Haz1558

Well, isn't that fine? You're still probably learning more words as you go along and you're not driving yourself crazy trying to finish.
4:13 am
rubyfoo

yes, I've picked up a few babblets and go about doing the grid in a ore organized wy. And, of course, I pick up clues from the chog
4:13 am
rubyfoo

more*
4:14 am
rubyfoo

I still like it better than lexulous, because of this brilliant chat!
4:15 am
Haz1558

Then you're grand. If you're enjoying it, why make it more demanding than you want it to be. The pressure to finish is a comparatively new phenomenon along with declarations of no blank tiles and no blank statistics. I'm waiting to see what the latest no blank definition is going to be.
4:16 am
rubyfoo

it is really very enjoyable like this and if I forget about the rankings, it will be even better
4:17 am
Haz1558

The nice thing about babble is that you play it whatever way you like. You can set rules for yourself or you can just do as you please. But the way I play is the right way! (in my head, at least)
4:18 am
rubyfoo

I also like that it is always on; whether I have 5 mins or an hour, I can pop in and get a few words and pop out again
4:19 am
Haz1558

Yes, it's more relaxing than those timed word games, they leave me feeling frantic.
4:20 am
rubyfoo

I don't mind the pressure, but the chat is too fast and cryptic. And the one-on-one games are dull
4:20 am
Haz1558

I never looked at the chat, so can't compare it with here.
4:21 am
rubyfoo

as long as I get at least half the words, I'm happy
4:23 am
Haz1558

Some days it's easy to get to half-way, others it can be a struggle, but that's the joy, there's variety.
4:24 am

You've been to the village, FM, and I haven't budged from this chair! I'll need to follow your example and get something done with the day.
4:28 am
rubyfoo

I don't feel like doing anything at all. Dogs kept me up. They sleep all day and bounce off the walls at night playing their secret games
4:28 am

I guess it means that Max is feeling better....
4:29 am

Well I shall be glued to the chair again for a while. Brd feeder topped up all the garden is awash with a feeding frenzy.

It's funny, we had great success with seeds and peanuts, but the coconut thing with suet etc has been steadfastly ignored.

Must go and get changed have rather too many layers on. Back in a tick.
4:32 am

See you later, FM, I'm going to prise myself away and get the shopping done. (Round of sighs and ughs).

You can get metal cages and stack the fat balls up on top of eachother, only found that out after I had a similar problem ruby.

the actress wasn't part of a clue, it was part of the auxiliary game, "name that proper noun!"

Soodlebum

Oops, Bo, you woke her up!
6:16 am
bojazz

question Hursh - was actress name related to a clue?
6:16 am
Eva

good morning all. The actresses name is also a Tibetan term in pretty common use here, for the states between death and rebirth, but enable isn't up to that.
6:17 am
hurshy

actually the bloop of a skype woke me up
6:18 am

I love Babble, but sometimes I just feel so stupid. Eva, never in a gazillion years would I have known that.

I know, we each have our live's worth of odd knowledge, and it's very neat to learn from everyone.
6:20 am
Eva

neither can I hurshy
6:22 am
Eva

and it has nothing to do with stupidity soodle....although sometimes I feel quite dense in comparison to some of the babble stars=no reason to know about bardo states unless you have an interest in tibetan buddhism.
6:22 am
Soodlebum

The IN 8 starts off with the first 4 letters of the one directly after it. Change the vowel - and if we all went to the hair-dressers, we would come out with new hair-***
6:23 am

there you go soodle. I would never have gotten that in a gazillion years!

i too refuse to get ez pass. however they already take photos of everyone who passes thorugh a toolbooth.

ii guess they might be able to find the location based on landmarks and the people in the picture? and it wasn't just still shots- i think they could use it for live feed.

but if it wasn't stolen there is no reason to take the photos

i know there is hardly a square inch in DC that isn't photographed these days but i see no reason to make their job easier for them
8:40 am
lideola

ask the babblers in Britain- they have cameras everywhere there.
8:40 am
jmcnrick

lol lide they used to do that on the PA turnpike if you made it too fast
8:41 am
lideola

I think that lasted about a month or two, though.
8:41 am
jmcnrick

too many people complained!
8:42 am
72 Temple Owl

ok time to go. happy babbling all
8:42 am
lideola

So, the vice principal reprimands a kid based on unsavory actions witnessed via the webcam remote access (which was undetectable to the student). I figure the kid was smoking marijuana in his bedroom or diddling with himself.
8:43 am
jmcnrick

or diddling with his girl friend
8:43 am
lideola

but i don't see how the diddling would cause a reprimand.
8:43 am
jmcnrick

or stealing his parents whiskey
8:43 am
lideola

i'm not even sure if it was a girl or a boy- they keep that type of information concealed.
8:44 am
jmcnrick

my son recently told me that he would steal from all of my liquor bottle except my Jack Daniels because he knew I kept track of that!
8:44 am
72 Temple Owl

it was a boy, it is on the news channel 10. he says he was eating candy, they say he was taking pills and is accused of selling them at school
8:44 am
jmcnrick

they should keep it concealed
8:44 am
lideola

yeah, true. funny- in this day and age I didn't even consider underage drinking unsavory compared to the hundreds of other things kids can get in to.
8:44 am
lideola

absolutely should keep it concealed.
8:45 am
72 Temple Owl

oh wait - i think it was the early show, so it is national. the parents, kids and their lawyer
8:45 am
jmcnrick

i consider more than unsavory since my son was with one of his friends who died of alcohol poisoning
8:45 am
lideola

i think nipping from the parents liquor cabinet is a rite of passage anymore.
8:46 am
jmcnrick

can't keep it secret if you are suing
8:46 am
lideola

very true. i will google it and see if i can find the interview.
8:47 am
lideola

have a good day!
8:47 am
jmcnrick

i never did but my mother didn't drink and my daddy only drank the cheapest beer he could find
8:47 am

No problem, jmc, hello Annie.
9:08 am
Anniebrook

I must say it is a lovely day, sun out and not too cold
9:09 am
Haz1558

I wish I could say the same, we're having a kind of freezing mist which makes things cold and damp.
9:10 am
Anniebrook

sounds very Sherlockian
9:10 am
Haz1558

Thankfully, Spangle is no hound of the Baskervilles!
9:11 am
Anniebrook

LOL. How is dear Spangle?
9:11 am
Haz1558

She's fine, having a bit of a snooze and looking very cosy.
9:11 am

The bed rest has done you good?

lol annie byeee
9:19 am
Atalante

utterly!
9:20 am
Haz1558

That's good.
9:20 am
Atalante

I hate bed rest, but when you feel you just can't do anything but lie down, I suppose you know you really need it!
9:20 am
Haz1558

Absolutely, sitting around isn't the same.
9:21 am
Atalante

nope, and for once, husband actually left me alone to sleep rather than bugging me every half hour
9:21 am
Haz1558

No questions about how to bake a baked potato?
9:22 am
Atalante

not yet, anyway!
9:29 am
Atalante

It's a shame you're not staying on the other side of London, I've found a patisserie that looks amazing: http://www.beasofbloomsbury.com/
9:29 am
Haz1558

Must have a look..
9:31 am
Haz1558

Gosh, I see what you mean.
9:31 am
Atalante

so pretty! though I'm sure you could teach them a thing or two!
9:31 am
Atalante

doesn't it look beautiful?!
9:31 am
Haz1558

It really does, they're works of art.
9:32 am
Haz1558

Just found a nice Scots word - th6/33, for stubborn and annoyingly perverse people.
9:33 am
Atalante

oooo yes I found that, great word
9:33 am
Atalante

and it goes into past tense too
9:34 am
Haz1558

Scots words are so descriptive, I don't know why people protest at them being here.
9:35 am
Atalante

because they contain too many ae combinations
9:35 am
Atalante

are there not a lot of similar Irish words? We hadly ever see those here
9:35 am
jmbdobie2

morning all
9:36 am
Haz1558

Maybe it's because the Gaelic has kept largely to itself, whereas the Scots words have tended to intermingle more. And the Irish words are spelled so strangely as well.
9:36 am
Atalante

hi jm!
9:36 am
Haz1558

Hello, jm.
9:37 am
Atalante

I think the guy who wrote enable just likes Scots / is a Scot
9:37 am
jmbdobie2

how is the puzzle today? it seems to start well.
9:37 am
Atalante

can you imagine peoples horror when conffronted with Irish spellings!
9:38 am
Haz1558

It would be akin to my reaction on seeing Polish street signs. How do you make sense of that?
9:39 am
Atalante

far too many z's in Polish
9:40 am
Haz1558

I know. A babble puzzle for Poland would look strange to our eyes.
9:41 am
Atalante

did you tell M&S about their spelling mistake?
9:45 am
Haz1558

My posts are being eaten up!
9:45 am
Atalante

no!!
9:46 am
FMitch

jmd - the grid starts wells and then gets a bit sticky.
Afteroon all.
9:46 am
Haz1558

First my internet went wonky, then babble swallowed up my reply. Short answer, not yet, my sister is in York this weekend and I've asked her to see if they've done the same thing there.
9:46 am
Atalante

haz's posts are being eaten, FM!
9:46 am
Haz1558

Maybe M and S have a censor!
9:46 am
FMitch

mine were too
9:47 am
Atalante

maybe you need a cat purring in your arms to be able topost
9:47 am
Haz1558

You too, FM? Gosh, this is worrying.
9:47 am
FMitch

topost - sorry bad spelling day is over :)
9:47 am
Atalante

my posts arent *smug*
9:48 am
Atalante

typing with cat interference!
9:48 am
FMitch

When we were chatting this a.m I was getting a bit of lag from time to time.
9:49 am
Haz1558

Maybe Dr-G doesn't love us any more and is trying to make babbling hard.
9:49 am
FMitch

Do you think 'Babble' is a he or a she, perhpas she was geing contrary.
9:49 am
Haz1558

It's laggy now for me.
9:50 am
FMitch

Dr_G makes life har for us with his grids - surely that would be enough?
9:51 am
Haz1558

Maybe when you've been babbling for quite a while, he introduces new hardships like laggy lags - all to test your patience and commitment.
9:51 am
Haz1558

Laggy logs, not laggy lags.
9:51 am
FMitch

may his logs lag too then!
9:51 am
Haz1558

Laggy legs = Nora Batty.
9:51 am
FMitch

heh heh
9:52 am

my babble is fine *smug*
9:52 am
FMitch

I hate Ata
9:53 am

I've always hated her.
9:53 am

But I have finished the grid (trying to claw back some dignity).
9:53 am
Atalante

but I can't identify the ducks I saw the other day if that helps
9:53 am
Haz1558

So have I. I bet Ata hasn't.
9:54 am

9:56 am
Atalante

9:57 am
Kazzer99

Shelduck are quite pretty - the best though are the avocets - we went to Topsham and they were waiting for the tide to got out. i will prob post one of the pics on flickr soon
10:03 am
FMitch

Rats nearly 4pm and I have to go, would ask Kazzer a Q or two if I were staying but have to love and leave for now. Back after my work commitments.
10:04 am

I love avocets
10:04 am

Awww. Too bad, FM. Hopefully see more of you one of these days!

Avocets are funky.

Hello, kje.
10:09 am

I just ate a fried egg, bacon and cheese sandwich to feed my brain at the halfway point. Crossy would be proud of me.
10:09 am

I like your icon pick, FM... I think i will change to something more springy too
10:09 am

It was gooooood.
10:10 am

I *bet*!
10:10 am

can't remember last time I had a fried egg sandwich
10:11 am
Gail

Once I get the urge, it can't be denied. The dog was drooling as I ate it.
10:11 am
Haz1558

I've never had a fried egg sandwich.
10:11 am
Atalante

I hope you gave him a little bit
10:11 am
Vicuna

Whyever not?
10:11 am
Atalante

omg! they are sooo good
10:11 am
Kazzer99

I will be about till about 1730 and then back tomorrow. i have some good bird pics now - I have given up fried eggs for lent - need to lose weight and they like my belly too much
10:11 am
Gail

Nope, not a bite.
10:12 am
Atalante

so mean, gail!!!!! :P
10:12 am
Vicuna

Way to keep your priorities straight, Gail! lol
10:12 am
Gail

I was starving and he already had eaten!
10:12 am
Haz1558

It'll teach him who's boss.
10:13 am
Atalante

fried egg and bacon sandwiches are the best things ever. along with fried egg and sausage sandwiches
10:13 am
kje

hate hate hate fried eggs
10:13 am
Haz1558

But are they not messy to eat? I'd have to tackle them with a knife and fork and that kind of undoes the handiness of a sandwich.
10:13 am
Atalante

I do too, kje, apart from in sandwiches
10:13 am
Gail

He never gets table food, never really asks for it.
10:14 am
Atalante

hugely messy
10:14 am
kje

skip the egg, and give me a BLT!
10:14 am
Gail

No, not messy. Sloppy maybe, but never messy.
10:14 am
Atalante

english version of a croque monsieur I guess
10:14 am
Vicuna

Depends how hard you cook them. not messy at all if the yolk's not runny.
10:14 am
Kazzer99

secret is a large slice of bread that you fold in half rather than cut so that the eggy goodness is held within - best or toasted fried egg sarnies
10:15 am
Gail

Toasted for me. With Cheeeeeese.
10:15 am
Haz1558

Heart attack on a plate!
10:15 am
Gail

Got a checkup yesterday, heart is good.
10:16 am
Kazzer99

no - you can fry eggs without fat - i use a teaspoon of water in a hot non stick pan
10:17 am
Gail

I use an all natural butter spray in a non-stick pan, organic eggs and Vermont cheese and real bacon bits, so there is not much bacon.
10:18 am
kje

that is poaching, not frying ; )
10:18 am

I guess you could type them all in again.
10:26 am

My favorite way to XC ski is alone with my iPod.
6:13 pm
Scrabbler

I did that yesterday.
6:14 pm
redturtlehead

I think both ways are good. I guess i just like a balance, and I am a bit social...occasionally.
6:15 pm
Scrabbler

I am an introvert that prefers solitude, especially when I am within nature.
6:16 pm

25 years ago I did translation for a Gentleman who had invitied two German musicians to Detroit. I learned later tht he got married and had a home on Lake George. One of my musiclaleyman's clients was staying in Gllens Falls, NY, so on a hunch I asked whether they happen to know the McCombs. Turns out the Italian painist sat next to Mrs MCcomb at a luncheon in Glens FAllls. They have him my email and now we are corresponding by email. That was not an option in the late 80's

There is a Friday women's "interclub" tennis league here that includes a team from Canada--outside of Niagara Falls, Ontario, and they got some US women interested in curling. Of course the main focus = beer consumption.
6:40 pm
redturtlehead

ahhh so it was meeting canadians. I just can not imagine any 8 yr old here saying they wanted to do curling...
6:40 pm
periwinkle

the ski jumpers and the snow boarders are amazing
6:40 pm
Scrabbler

I quit the tennis league--too intense + competitive for me.
6:42 pm
Scrabbler

I like all of the events that I could see myself doing---not ski jumping or figure skating.
6:42 pm
redturtlehead

I'm cheering for Julia Mancuso.
6:42 pm

I enjoy even the stuff I would never dare do!
6:42 pm

that's great ... i agree, what would you do without a book?
10:06 pm
Trifioso

now, strangely, the movie alone thing doesnt bother me so much. I think maybe because I just sit in the dark, and no one notices after the movie starts anyway. i don't think I could just sit there in a restaurant without a book though. I would feel too awkward, like I was just staring at the people

We are very very fortunate and retired very early in life but I remember where I came from as a single mother living on welfare paycheck-to-paycheck...washing clothes in my bathtub etc...even though I worked for the federal government...no child support from abusive ex-husband...it was hard but I made it and will never forget how to be frugal in times you need to be. I am a better woman for it!

and we enjoy the company too! it is addicting, whether in the frame of mind or not, and the group is great for comfort and sharing..good news and not-so-good news. When you share, you also unburden yourself of the sole responsibility for whatever ails you....
