12:37 am
jillibus

I must have missed that grid -- never saw the word before -- but sprite had -- she has a friend who has one.
12:37 am

FMitch

good phanton though.
1:54 am
sprite

how are you today? And how is your garden?
1:56 am
FMitch

Im good thanks spritey and have put up another new pic from the garden. The planter was a bargain at the car boot sale - only cost me a £1. Todays flowers are cosmos (the pink ones) and Bacupa (the white ones) :))
1:56 am

FM that is so pretty!
1:58 am

Hope you are well too sprite and how is Terra?
1:58 am
FMitch

Good evening jilli.
1:59 am
jillibus

FM, I have some cosmos and it's only about 3" high! Supposedly not a dwarf variety -- probably as a result of our unsprung spring.
1:59 am
sprite

lovely feeling, isn't it FM :)
I am fine, knees healing up and feeling positive.
Terra is fine too. Sweet, playful, healthy and beautiful.
2:01 am

I have 58 - but have been eating scrambled egg on toast at the same time...
3:54 am

He should have worked wearing a pink bra to show his support in spirit :-)
3:54 am
Haz1558

So that's 58 wfi.
3:54 am
Haz1558

That means 58 with food impediment.
3:54 am

Ah! I wondered.
3:54 am

poor mr haz!

Haz1558

I can imagine, Saly.
3:56 am
Sally-catlover

It was fascinating. He got dressed on stage and showed us (almost!) everything.
3:58 am
Haz1558

Some things are best left either to the imagination or not thought about at all.
3:59 am
Sally-catlover

No, I love to see how things are done. Have recently got drawn into Dr Who via iPlayer (no TV), and have particularly liked to see the programmes about how they do some of the special effects. Same with make-up and costume, lighting, etc. I find that far more interesting than the performance!
4:00 am
Haz1558

Oh, you'll be able to chat with FM and lynxxx, they're greatly into Dr Who.
4:01 am
Sally-catlover

Well I've only just started watching some, so I'm not quite at that stage.

you always forget that I like Dr Who!!
4:04 am
Sally-catlover

Hi lynxxx. Been staring at the top right O and deciding that there couldn't possibly be two words from there, then slapped myself with a fish!
4:04 am
Haz1558

I've put a little bit in my profile. And yes, Ata likes Dr Who as well!
4:05 am
Sally-catlover

I haven't seen any previous recent series, Ata, so no undue influences, but I do think the current one is a good actor.
4:05 am
Atalante

he's great
4:06 am
lynxxx

It does sound like it was fun Haz, can't wait for the photos
4:07 am
Haz1558

At one point we had photos being taken of a police motorcyclist arm in arm with the rugby boys - also women getting photos taken aboard police motorcycles. It's probably not in any police manuals..
4:07 am
lynxxx

and only a year to wait for the new Torchwood Ata!
4:07 am

you should try and get the David Tennant series. He was wonderful

A bit like my eggs then ruby. We have spent so much on enclosures, electric netting and so on that my husband talks about "yet another £300 egg" :-)

Everyone - do read Haz's bio - great account of the walk :)
4:24 am

4:37 am
FMitch

4:37 am
rubyfoo

do you think we all have pet names for our pets?
4:38 am
Atalante

Sally-catlover

4:42 am
rubyfoo

I love that everybody does it! I thought it was a little nuts on my part
4:42 am
FMitch

Mums cat (a burmese) was called Minta so that got changed to Mintymoo on occasions of deep purring :)
4:43 am
sandyloo

Three of our chooks ran away because of Roger
4:43 am
KatieMcG

4:43 am
Atalante

Hobbit and SIly are sometimes Sausage and Chipolata
4:43 am
rubyfoo

raof
4:43 am
sandyloo

bruce chases me but I dont run
4:43 am
rubyfoo

4:43 am
FMitch

4:44 am
rubyfoo

if DH chased me, I'd put my foot out!
4:44 am
sandyloo

LOL
4:44 am
sandyloo

does it drag on the ground?

4:49 am
rubyfoo

wine o'clock it is, then!
4:49 am
Sally-catlover

Ruby, I really have to ask this. Why doesn't he fix his own drink?
4:49 am
rubyfoo

US was cheated by the officiating last night :(
4:49 am
KatieMcG

Oh yes perfect time for buck fizz
4:49 am
rubyfoo

this is a tainted World Cup for me
4:49 am
sandyloo

LOL reminds me of Mitch
4:50 am
rubyfoo

because I have to sit with him while he drinks it, or he sulks (even more than the usual)
4:50 am
FMitch

:) *clinks glasses with Katie*
4:50 am
rubyfoo

what's in a buck fizz?
4:50 am
KatieMcG

4:50 am
FMitch

Champagne and orange juice.
4:50 am
KatieMcG

Yammas FM
4:50 am
rubyfoo

when a disaster happens, it's important to stock up on the staples, katie, wine, gin, etc!
4:51 am
Sally-catlover

No - you don't /have/ to sit with him if you don't want to. Your choice, remember. Come on, everyone, let's empower ruby here.
4:51 am
sandyloo

katie, I have tried collecting wine but it doesn't work
4:51 am
FMitch

Oh party at Katies yay!
4:51 am
rubyfoo

back in a bit, need to negotiate lunch
4:51 am
KatieMcG

we got the good stuff at the bottom working up to the cheaper stuff at the top
4:51 am
rubyfoo

keeping the peace for a couple of hours would be a nice change!
4:51 am
FMitch

lol sandy -does it disappear myteriously?
4:52 am
sandyloo

you guys are so naughty - Australian women are at our men's beck and call
4:52 am
rubyfoo

he thinks that by taking me out for lunch, everything becomes OK!
4:52 am
sandyloo

it does mitch
4:52 am
KatieMcG

i'd be knackered if I had to pour every drink hubby had lol
4:52 am
rubyfoo

that would be like our stockpiling gin! I think the dogs drink it; they must have figured out a way to open the bottles!
4:53 am
KatieMcG

we are quite good at keeping the good stuff, but the cheap stuff does seem to evaporate very quickly
4:53 am
FMitch

I think Haz must have gone for a nap!
4:53 am
KatieMcG

we also have 3 types of gin, 3 types of vodka, all the makings for cocktails etc
4:53 am
rubyfoo

deserves one!
4:53 am
KatieMcG

two massive shelves of spirits
4:53 am
sandyloo

no difference here - it all disappears at the same rate
4:53 am
rubyfoo

when is the party?
4:53 am
lynxxx

butter wouldn't melt in your mouth Sandy
4:53 am
Atalante

4:54 am
KatieMcG

we move the good stuff into the garage at parties lol
4:54 am
rubyfoo

speaking of the murder by butter....lol
4:54 am
rubyfoo

4:54 am
Sally-catlover

Impressed.
4:54 am
KatieMcG

vodka is smirnoff blue, smirnoff red and absolute
4:55 am
FMitch

I feel a European party fest coming on - we can start at Katies and then move on and end up at rubys.
4:55 am
rubyfoo

bombay saphire + noilly prat dry vermouth and an olive -- heaven (and not much vermouth!!)
4:55 am
KatieMcG

4:56 am
KatieMcG

4:56 am
FMitch

*emporium even!
4:56 am
Atalante

bellii
4:56 am
Sally-catlover

Have a feeling Katie is not so very far from me. Looks at watch to see how soon I could be there.
4:56 am
Atalante

bellini!!
4:56 am
rubyfoo

the best rum for me comes from the DR but you can't get it here; the worst comes from the French islands!
4:56 am
rubyfoo

you could probably use it for biofuel!
4:56 am
KatieMcG

the funny thing is we rarely drink spirits but like to have everything in just in case!
4:57 am
KatieMcG

lol sally
4:57 am
rubyfoo

I used to keep a bottle of it in my office and the Dominican girls would come in at five with paper cups and coke! Those were the days
4:57 am
KatieMcG

I had 5 bottles of baileys at one point but Mari has helped and I think I am down to two now
4:57 am
sandyloo

that is important katie
4:57 am

I'm packing a hamper and heading up to Katies :)
4:57 am
rubyfoo

and if somebody gets a cut!
4:58 am
Atalante

mmmmm baileys
4:58 am
rubyfoo

I don't dare buy Baileys because I would drink it all, same goes for Kahlua!
4:58 am
KatieMcG

you are not allowed to bring back the really strong dominican rum any more, it is not allowed on planes as it is considered explosive
4:58 am
Sally-catlover

5 bottles of Baileys wouldn't last long in this house.
4:58 am
KatieMcG

Oh I have kahlua as well
4:58 am
rubyfoo

but delicious!
4:58 am
rubyfoo

Kahlua and English cream, OMG!
4:59 am

Jayk

He actually made his own drink?
5:16 am
rubyfoo

and I don't have to go to one of these bad restaurants as I'm not hungry anyway
5:16 am
rubyfoo

I even attempted to have him decided on a resto, but he was uncommunicative!
5:16 am
Sally-catlover

Perhaps he made his own drink because it's starting to taste funny when ruby makes it
5:16 am
rubyfoo

I think I'll go out and fight the battle of the weeds!
5:16 am
KatieMcG

see I would have made my own sandwich
5:17 am

I am here, lurking.
6:24 am
Merk

I've hired a young school girl to tackle my weeds weekly since I'll be gone the rest of the summer.
6:24 am
Merk

She's doing a good job. My one from the last three years grew up and is too busy now. But the junior high ones love the income.
6:24 am
rubyfoo

great idea! here, it's an endless task and men can't seem to distinguish between weeds and good plants... :(
6:25 am
rubyfoo

where are you going for the summer?
6:25 am
Merk

I hear you. That sounds like my hubby.
6:25 am
Merk

China.
6:25 am
rubyfoo

wow!
6:25 am
Merk

When I get back in August we are vacationing in Washington due to a wedding there. We've yet to see Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks.
6:26 am
rubyfoo

what a great plan!!!
6:27 am
rubyfoo

yay, half!
6:27 am
Merk

I only have 34 words, but it doesn't seem as discouraging a grid as earlier this week.
6:27 am
Merk

at least not yet
6:29 am
rubyfoo

this grid looked impossible at first, but there are quite a few "builders", most with oa in them
6:30 am
Merk

I have found a few of those.
6:30 am
dan2bit

morning all
6:30 am
Merk

Morning, Dan.
6:33 am
Merk

I don't mind a challenge when the words are at least recognizable. It's when over and over again I've never even heard of them that it's tough to enjoy.
6:33 am
rubyfoo

nbt
6:34 am
pinki

how to play
6:34 am
rubyfoo

just got a dumb babblet: oh4/5
6:34 am
rubyfoo

like the state, but diff ending
6:36 am
Merk

Right after you mentioned the 'oa', I hit the co words and all but one used your pattern.
6:37 am
rubyfoo

but sally mentioned an mo6 having to do with go** and I couldn't figure it out!
6:37 am
Merk

But the cu 6, for example, never heard of it before.
6:38 am
rubyfoo

?? don't have it, smarty merk!
6:38 am
rubyfoo

hint for it?
6:39 am
Merk

It builds on the cu 4 ... add a consonant and a vowel.
6:40 am
Merk

Same ending as a spanish nap or sp. party.
6:41 am
rubyfoo

thank you, my monkey almost died, trying out all the possibilities! Did you get the nice fa's?
6:41 am
rubyfoo

6 and 7?
6:41 am
Merk

not quite there yet ... am on the e words
6:41 am
rubyfoo

I can help, if you didn't
6:41 am
rubyfoo

when you're ready, just say so
6:42 am
Merk

You can clue the 6,7 for me please.
6:42 am
rubyfoo

fa + ****mccan shoes
6:42 am
rubyfoo

and plural
6:43 am
rubyfoo

poor clue, sorry
6:43 am
rubyfoo

or measurement of ocean depth
6:43 am
Merk

I think I am missing a letter in it somewhere.
6:44 am
rubyfoo

or understand something
6:44 am
rubyfoo

deep
6:44 am
Merk

I don't come up with six letters with the fa +
6:44 am
rubyfoo

fa + al***ugh + cons
6:45 am
dan2bit

I can't fa6 why you can't get the clue :-)
6:45 am
rubyfoo

not thin + prefix for man
6:45 am

I must have had the wrong shoes. LOL
6:45 am

Your other clues were great.

uh oh, pb for merk! lol
6:47 am
rubyfoo

but I had it already
6:47 am

Well, I need coffee. I'm trying to finish this before my grandson awakens, but I am hungry.
6:47 am
rubyfoo

join me for a coffee
6:48 am
Merk

Oops, I didn't realize I used a word, but thanks for pointing it out. I've typed it in now.
6:48 am

Off to brew the java.
6:48 am
rubyfoo

favorite word: ta5/12, long snouted animal
6:49 am
rubyfoo

pls heat the milk!
6:49 am
rubyfoo

but I still have 42 left and no chance of finishing
6:49 am
Merk

Heat the milk? You use milk? Straight black for me, strong, using my French press.
6:50 am
rubyfoo

I make double expressos then add the same abount of hot milk -- get the caffeine zap, but it doesn't make me feel sick!
6:50 am
rubyfoo

I have too many dairy products; the French adults don't use any except cheese
6:51 am
rubyfoo

and even the children don't drink much milk = poor teeth
6:51 am
rubyfoo

and they make fun of "American teeth"
6:51 am
Merk

Who makes the Bodum French press. I thought it sounded Dutch.
6:52 am
rubyfoo

I use a nespresso machine; it is really easy and always perfect!
6:52 am
rubyfoo

they practically give away your second machine because it's really just a vehicle for selling the coffee capsules
6:53 am
Merk

My daughter uses a Kerig ... misspelled
6:53 am
Merk

I love the coffee, but it's not hot enough to suit me.
6:53 am
rubyfoo

any help wanted from my paltry 72 words?
6:53 am
Merk

I wrap a towel around my bodum and that keeps it hot between cups.
6:54 am
rubyfoo

that's what my husband hused, before we married, but I didn't find it strong or hot enough with milk in it
6:56 am
rubyfoo

I'm off to do the Sat crossword puzzle and a couple of Sat sudokos! Yay
6:56 am

bye Merk and Dan (if you're still here)

she's been a pretty good sleeper up until last night. We have a well-defined bedtime ritual where she goes to sleep around 10pm, and usually sleeps 4 hours or so before nursing

true. And its the weekend, so I'm able to help mom get some extra naps in today
9:37 am
Haz1558

It'll all be fine eventually, but that's no comfort when you have a baby and no individual manual or light-up buttons to tell you what's going on and why the plans aren't being adhered to.
9:39 am
FMitch

*nods head in agreement* not that I know the first think about babies or children :)
9:40 am
dan2bit

it would be a blessing if she could just say a few words: "wet" "hungry" "sleepy" "ouch" &c
9:41 am
Haz1558

That's what the light up buttons would be for, if the scientists could only stop working on i-pads and do something useful instead.
9:41 am

you will soon get used to her version of those words and will learn what she need dan.

11:41 am

11:41 am

LOL! Sometimes that's the best way to be creative!
11:41 am

Here is a story of clues for anybody who us 4/4 it to help them finish.I took an oa4/5 to finish grid today. Hubby has given me some sp5/14 and is gone for the day. We had a sp4/5 earlier. We argued over who us 4/4 the co4/7uter too much. It was a pretty stupid argument and now I do not give one io4/4 about the argument. Anyway,I wanted to pa4/6 myself and not finish the grid too early.But I fa4/8ed grid early and finished early.I thought it was a fa4/7 grid today. It didn't make me want to pull my ha 4/5 out. But some of the words I could not fa 6/33. Pr 5/12 to finishing the grid,monkeys were pe4/5s and acted like im4/6 today.I believe they had too much to drink and their brains were im6/24ed. I think that they also wanted to run up the st6/18 & esc5/14 from me. I have one monkey that esca6/24 from me everyday.Can't keep track of all of them. I wanted to ta4/5 their mouths shut today,but then they wouldn't be able to help me When I can't deal with them I tell them to sc 4/5 and stay away.I om4/5ed a lot of words in my story. Can never include ALL the words.Ha4/5 off to those who finished. Now I am off to buy a pa4/5 of pants. Then I'm going to return & take ph 4/6os of my flowers on my pa5/12.I'll be back later tonite to help with clues.

11:58 am
Minski

We planned on going to a museum that has a Jim Henson and the muppets exhibit and then out to lunch with Jon's side of the family. Then dinner in the North End "Little Italy" for those of you who don't know Boston with my side of the family at 6pm to accomodate my sister who isn't due back from New Jersey until aobut 4 tomorrow.
11:58 am
sciencegeek

okay, now I need to clean the garage in this horrible heat!
11:58 am

all the stuff from school is piled up
11:59 am
Minski

However, I forgto to include my brother in law into the equasion. He works the morning shift at alocal news station and getsoff work at 2pm sunday. Which is fine but we planned on being home by about then or a bit after so the baby can have a nap before dinner.
12:00 pm
Minski

So now the inlaws have cancelled altogether on Jon and I. They will take brother in law out for an early dinner and then we will do a family thing some other time.
12:01 pm
m9f9l

well that's poopy!!!
12:01 pm
m9f9l

(finished that sleeve)
12:01 pm
Minski

This is all somehow turned out to be my fault and I am getting all the blame for it.
12:01 pm
m9f9l

and THAT'S double poopy!
12:01 pm
Minski

So I ruined Father's Day for 1/2 the family and Jon will be in a pissy mood all day.
12:01 pm

I wanted to say fine. Good. We can have a quiet day jsut the 4 of us doing what we wnat to do. But now inlaws aare mad at me and Jon is already in a pissy mood. ARGH!!! I QUIT! Plan your own freaking holidays from now on. I'm done!!!!
12:03 pm
m9f9l

I took that in the mirror on the visor while in the car waiting for Tim to do something... pay the car insurance I think...
12:03 pm

Minski, I would guess that they needed an excuse to not do it and it's all your fault! (NOT!) YOU can't make others mad, they are incontrol of their own emotions!
12:03 pm

are you breathing Min???
12:03 pm
m9f9l

Are you knowing that you didn't do anything wrong?

So I see, M9 ;) best not be taking my picture though, I haven't even put my face on yet! :P
12:04 pm

I don't have a face on in that pic. So you just better tough it up and smile!
12:05 pm
Minski

Yep. Still here. I'm hoping to convince hubby to do what we planned without his parents. We can make up a picnic lunch and eat outside somewhere in the town where the museum is (it's a beautiful town). Then go home and still meet my family for dinner in the city. We'll see.
12:05 pm

Thanks for listening all. I needed to get that off my chest.

12:13 pm
m9f9l

Ohh your fiance! cool!
12:13 pm
m9f9l

I've been with my Tim for 27 years now
12:13 pm
Nef

12:13 pm
Jellen

Are you making a shirt for an octupus, m9?

12:20 pm
Jellen

I've never made a costume...
12:21 pm
jmcnrick

I couldn't make Tevia's night shirt fit the football player who was playing him in my son's jr high play
12:21 pm
jmcnrick

I kept having to insert to make it bigger and bigger
12:21 pm
Jellen

The biggest thing I've sewn is a flat tote bad with draw string (in Girl Scouts)...
12:22 pm
jmcnrick

lol well we can't all do everything!
12:22 pm
m9f9l

12:23 pm
Jellen

LOL, um bag...it was lovely! Honest!
12:23 pm
m9f9l

I'm just not used to serger. this is my fist project using one... got it off craig's list a few years ago and just decided I better figure it out..
12:23 pm
jmcnrick

what freudian slip?
12:23 pm
m9f9l

Ok. I did one side.. now the other
12:23 pm
jmcnrick

I have looked at sergers and never felt they did anything i wanted
12:25 pm
rubyfoo

shirts for octopi? this is the strangest chog yet!
12:25 pm
rubyfoo

and what's a serger?
12:25 pm
jmcnrick

but an octopi missing an arm
12:26 pm
rubyfoo

yum
12:26 pm
Jellen

Poor octupus, missing an arm...
12:26 pm
jmcnrick

it is a sewing machine that makes those seams on your store bought clothes that looks like a slinky
12:26 pm
crosshair

why are we knitting a sweater for an octopus??
12:26 pm
rubyfoo

served DH octopus salad as his appetizer!
12:26 pm
Jellen

Tim's in the grid!
12:26 pm
m9f9l

the serger is really paying for itself with this project!!!
12:26 pm
rubyfoo

maybe it was the missing arm
12:26 pm
jmcnrick

ruby did you eat the octopus arm?
12:27 pm
rubyfoo

hi crossy
12:27 pm
m9f9l

when you eat it, it's calamari!
12:27 pm
crosshair

howdy ruby
12:27 pm
rubyfoo

part of it, but it was a small one....
12:27 pm
jmcnrick

hi crossy
12:27 pm
Jellen

Hi, crossy
12:27 pm
m9f9l

serger: sews AND edges at same time.
12:27 pm
rubyfoo

no no, calamari is a different beast!
12:27 pm
crosshair

howdy jellen;))
12:27 pm
jmcnrick

calamari is squid
12:27 pm
m9f9l

depends. calamari is used for various beasties I've found
12:28 pm
crosshair

mmmm squid rings all battered and crispy with lemon and pepper...mmmm
12:28 pm
m9f9l

I ordered squid at this Japanese restaurant once. Thought I'd get little tender bits with veggies or something...
12:29 pm
rubyfoo

in France it's calmar (squid), seiche (cuttlefish) and pleuvre (octopus)
12:29 pm
m9f9l

they brought out the plate.. one big ol' octopus. the rings were about 4.5 inches. and the tentacles were whole kind of draped artistically over it all. nothing else, but some ginger sauce.
12:29 pm
rubyfoo

the only squid I don't like is in sushi where it's a little like eating ivory soap
12:29 pm
m9f9l

it was VERY chewy!LOL
12:30 pm
crosshair

you know the octopus is done right is a sucker can stick to the roof of your mough for just a second before it slides on down;)
12:30 pm
m9f9l

mmm crossy!
12:30 pm
rubyfoo

the local Italian (a Sicilian) grills cuttlefish and it's wonderful!
12:30 pm
m9f9l

I'm glad to be doing a project. I've got to get back into sewing mode.. been a long time.. and Aiden wants me to make her dress.
12:31 pm
rubyfoo

we get them ranging from about the size of a hand to tiny
12:31 pm
m9f9l

best squid I've eer had was on Peuget Sound cooked on the boat. and sea cucumber...
12:31 pm
jmcnrick

if it was chewy it was over cooked
12:32 pm
m9f9l

or just an old fogey!
12:32 pm
m9f9l

yeah. prolly overcooked.. like scallops get.
12:32 pm
rubyfoo

I draw the line at sea cucumber: it's among the 2 or 3 things in the whole world that I won't eat!
12:32 pm
rubyfoo

next to jellyfish! eeew
12:33 pm
m9f9l

it's GOOD!
12:33 pm
jmcnrick

not too fond of sea cucumber
12:34 pm
crosshair

they have this concoction that made from fermented whale milk that is right up there on the list lol
12:34 pm
rubyfoo

yuck
12:34 pm
jmcnrick

I will try pretty much anything once
12:34 pm
rubyfoo

12:34 pm
crosshair

sorry fresh out of seals
12:35 pm
crosshair

told the wife we were down to 3 seals,and i like mine over easy in the morning
12:35 pm
rubyfoo

I feel the same way, jmc, but once I was serve jellyfish in a dim sum place in LA and it looked suspicious but nobody spoke English. I finally made a drawing for the manager (!!) and he offered me more
12:36 pm
rubyfoo

although I don't have an aversion to it, the idea of killing whales is appaling and I would never eat it
12:36 pm
crosshair

i think only japan and norway still conduct that sort of thing thank god
12:37 pm
jmcnrick

i assume you don't kill the whale to get milk
12:37 pm
m9f9l

I'd like to try the fermented horse milk they drink in Mongolia some time.
12:37 pm
crosshair

they mix it with butter fat m9
12:37 pm
rubyfoo

"for scientific purpose" (Japan) but you can evidently buy it in supermarkets
12:37 pm
rubyfoo

and how, exactly, do you milk a whale??
12:38 pm
jmcnrick

carefully
12:38 pm
crosshair

with a stool and a big pail lol
12:38 pm
m9f9l

ok.. that top is done except for hemming sleeves and bottom (i use sewing machine for that)
12:38 pm
m9f9l

very carefully
12:38 pm
m9f9l

I think it's easier if you're a baby whale.
12:39 pm
Jellen

Is anyone else finding this grid rather difficult, or is it my brain?
12:39 pm
m9f9l

everybody now! Baby beluga in the deep blue sea.....
12:39 pm
jmcnrick

but baby whales don't make milk
12:39 pm
rubyfoo

I think Babble refuses some words at times til you have several other words first. Then if you wander off, it will erase it from your list too. ;-)
3:12 pm

hi peri. DH got his stupid scared out of him; he's MUCH more careful and is obeying restrictions now
4:46 pm
m9f9l

haha
4:46 pm
Soodlebum

Nef - the only negative thing about naps is that you have to wake up twice in the one day. Otherwise, naps are brilliant!!
4:48 pm
Nef

I'm not a person who normally takes naps; but I just told my daughter I felt like I'm hung over but haven't had a drink!
4:48 pm
Soodlebum

M9 - does gage have many siblings? That sounds daft...How many kids do you have?
4:49 pm

hey nef, I have been napping all day! of course I have to go and do the whole being awake at night thing....
4:49 pm

LOL. I have 22 yo girl, she just got engaged. 19 yo boy, 14 yo girl and Gage. He's 4
4:50 pm

red, if you're on night shift; you aren't napping all day. You ought to be sleeping!
4:50 pm
Soodlebum

OMG!!! Gage must have come as somewhat of a shock.....
4:51 pm
redturtlehead

yes but been off, so tonight is y Monday.
4:51 pm
Soodlebum

I have a 20 yr old son, an 18 yr old daughter, and a 15 yr old daughter. An addition at this stage would be life-changing.......
4:52 pm
Nef

m9, I can't imagine having kids with that big of an age spread. And if you're as young as your picture looks...
4:52 pm
m9f9l

not really. more of a sense of closure. There were 5 miscarriages between him and the 14 yo
4:52 pm
m9f9l

I didn't start having kids until I was 24.
4:52 pm
Nef

(((m9)))
4:52 pm
m9f9l

so how young do I look?? LOL (fishing)
4:53 pm
Nef

LOL! I was over 30 when we started! I had 2 miscarriages
4:53 pm
m9f9l

My mom had me when she was 41. I had Gage when I was 42.. I guess I just had to one up my Mother!LOL
4:53 pm
Soodlebum

Well, that is just great!!!! Rock on Gage. Just going to have a peep at the pic in close-up....
4:53 pm
redturtlehead

funny M9. I am sure that wasn't it.
4:54 pm
Nef

I wouldn't think you were over 40
4:54 pm
redturtlehead

You do look nice and young. My Sister sent me antiwrinkle products for my birthday this year....
4:54 pm
m9f9l

ah.. you found the pics in the chog. good
4:54 pm
Soodlebum

You clearly have a picture of yourself in the attic = a lá Dorien Gray. You look about 24.
4:55 pm

wow! Thanks.. the gray in my hair belies it.
4:56 pm
Soodlebum

Have you not heard of L'Oreal? I'm sure your worth it.....
4:56 pm
Soodlebum

Anti-wrinkle cream, Red? Tell us more....
4:56 pm
Nef

OUCH, red. I'd be hurt by that if my sis did that. Of course, my sisters and I have a weird sense of humor and we give each other old lady purses or bags full of strange and wonderful old lady stuff (ha** nets, rouger, golden slippers, cloth handkies, support NYLONS with the seams, etc.
4:57 pm
Soodlebum

ROFL Nef. Thank you so much. I owe my sister a birthday present, and you have just given me a brainwave.
4:58 pm
m9f9l

I can't believe Tim just called on the phone and pulled me from my sewing just to ask the title of Napolean Dynamite...
4:59 pm
Nef

For my 50th, they went together and gave me an old lady sun hat, the full body old-fashioned apron (that only covers one boob at a time) a blue knot shawl, etc. One sister gave another one something called "butt floss"
5:01 pm
Nef

what is Napolean Dynamite?
5:01 pm
m9f9l

butt floss!!! that's what I call a thong
5:01 pm
Soodlebum

LMAO!!!! Where oh where in Ireland will I get Butt Floss? I just cannot imagine walking into my local shop asking for same.....
5:02 pm
m9f9l

Napolean Dynamite is a movie about a geeky guy who ends up doing some kind of amazing things. it's different
5:02 pm
Nef

Imagine a GIANT thing of dental floss and that was what it was like I was told (I wasn't there at the time)
5:02 pm
m9f9l

it's where "vote for Pedro comes from"
5:02 pm
m9f9l

oops. ended the quote late.
5:03 pm
Soodlebum

Oh right. A thong! I'm a little bit disappointed. I had visions of mysterious potions in a tube labelled Butt Floss. :(
5:03 pm

I guess the butt floss makes sense. you know how old people keep diaper wipes in the bathroom. I guess a kind of floss would really get the stubborn stuff.
5:04 pm
Soodlebum

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH. Too much information, M9.
5:05 pm
m9f9l

hey..it's just part of live. Me..I'd rather just eat more fiber!LOL
5:06 pm
Nef

LOL! This is really a weird convo! I thought it was some sort of a joke; but now you are saying it's a real item?
5:06 pm
m9f9l

well I'm assuming it is....?
5:07 pm
Soodlebum

Soodle putting fingers in ears and singing la la la really loudly. Tell me about butt floss when I need it. Not before, ok?
5:08 pm
Soodlebum

Humming The Who song 'Hope I die before I get old'......
5:08 pm
m9f9l

ok....all the hits I'm getting on google are referring to the underwear..
5:08 pm
Nef

here's the definition: A form of female underwear so narrow as to effectively remove deposits from within surrounding crevices. Similar to dental floss as used in the act of orthodontic hygiene.
5:08 pm
Judi

Good evening, all. There is no such thing as butt floss. It's a derogatory term for thong underware or bathing suit. Geesh!
5:08 pm
Nef

EWWWW! It's not how I imagined it!
5:09 pm
Judi

*underwear* that is.
5:09 pm
Soodlebum

Oooh thank you Judi. Nobody could believe the mental images I was having....
5:10 pm
Nef

Judi, I was just passing on what one sister told me that another sister had given her
5:12 pm
Judi

Not to be confused with thong sandals.
5:13 pm
m9f9l

which you have to call flip flops now. but they will always be thongs to me...
5:13 pm
Soodlebum

This is why I love Babble. Last night there was an earnest conversation about the best way to murder your husband, tonight its about butt floss. You just cant help loving Babble. :)
5:14 pm
m9f9l

and what IS the best way??
5:15 pm
Soodlebum

If you pardon the expression, the jury is still out!!!!
5:15 pm
Judi

How come I always miss the useful conversations and come in on things like "butt floss"???
5:15 pm
Soodlebum

RubyFoo was very taken with Death By Butter.
5:15 pm
m9f9l

Poor kitty is missing Aiden. She's wandering around meowling...oh wait... that's Elina's cat.
5:16 pm
m9f9l

that makes more sense. Aiden's cat doesn't really meow. She just sings when she's happy (meaning when she has a piece of crinkly celophane)
5:17 pm
Soodlebum

Judi, if you go back in the archives, you will find some very useful suggestions/tips. It was hilarious!
5:18 pm
Nef

Death by Butter? does that mean slathering her hubby with it or stuffing him with it?
5:18 pm
m9f9l

probably clogging his arteries!
5:19 pm
Soodlebum

I think the cunning plan was to cook all his meals in very high cholesterol butter. The man is 85, and very contrary. It was more or less agreed that this course of action would keep Ruby out of jail, if he were to pop his clogs....
5:21 pm
Joanne123

ummm t bone steak for sup with butter slathered mashed potatoes and herb and garlic cream cheese in it and broccoli salad... almost feasty time and one word left
5:22 pm
Soodlebum

Yay Joanne. Your making me hungry....
5:22 pm
Nef

sounds like that would kill me too!
5:23 pm
Joanne123

god that good piece..the fillet is huge for a steak
5:23 pm
Soodlebum

Yikes, Joanne. I just had a thought.... Your significant other isn't trying to kill you, are they?
5:24 pm
m9f9l

reminds me of the convos we had when my dad was ready to go....
5:24 pm
Joanne123

5:25 pm
Soodlebum

Ah! A his n hers steak!!
5:25 pm
Joanne123

we actually are not big eaters but i make enough for an army
5:25 pm
Joanne123

no we share a steak and there is left overs too,like half the steak
5:27 pm
Joanne123

when i make cabbage rolls, i make about 40 and change and freeze then give them to family
5:27 pm
Soodlebum

When my husband was around, I remember going into the butchers, and asking for a steak for him (huge) and one for me (small).
5:28 pm
Joanne123

i can;t understand how people can eat so much without feeling uncomfortable afterwards
5:29 pm
Joanne123

like christmas dinner.. my eyes bigger then my stomach so i bite off more then i can chew
5:29 pm
Joanne123

half a plate and my eyes are bulging and my father in law just laughs at me
5:30 pm
Soodlebum

Lol. I can never eat Christmas dinner. I spend a whole week planning it, a whole day cooking it, and by the time it is ready, I can't even look at it.
5:30 pm

5:36 pm
Soodlebum

I am more familiar with the backs of my kids, as they rootle around in the fridge, than I am with their faces...
5:36 pm

If they are all boys/men; they ARE savages when it comes to meat

6:07 pm
Riverdance

6:08 pm
Riverdance

his coach put him on as first base coach to give him something to do
6:08 pm
Nef

what did the docs say about restricting his activities?
6:08 pm
Riverdance

video games will be good during the week when he is stuck home and cant do anything else
6:09 pm
Riverdance

no exercise, limited activity - basically do nothing and take your meds
6:10 pm
Riverdance

hard to do for an athletic kid - he understands, just cant control himself
6:11 pm
Riverdance

I think I am going to find a movie to watch - anyone need any clues before I go
6:16 pm

Good night folks

7:16 pm
lbdawger

7:17 pm
Nef

I am so bummed. I was really looking forward to a meet up with you guys; but he isn't in good enough shape to make it and I can't be here and there at the same time
7:18 pm
lbdawger

priorities, and i'm sorry he's not up to the trip. I'm sure he feels just as bad about not being able to come out for the wedding.
7:20 pm
Nef

yeah. We both had hopes that he would "pop back" to his previous normal level of functioning; but it isn't happening and I didn't realize how close that is.
7:22 pm
