hi day, how is the weather there? we have some clouds coming over
1:27 am
sandyloo

and the temperature is dropping fast
1:30 am
daykat

same here Sandy, rain coming, thank goodness
1:31 am
daykat

we'll be in trouble come January if it doesnt do some decent raining soon
1:31 am
sandyloo

I hope so , our water tank is full tho, we dont get scheme water here
1:32 am
sandyloo

we also have a bore, which isnt working at the moment and a dam which is full and a windmill
1:32 am
sandyloo

do you have scheme water?
1:33 am
daykat

we have tanks which are close to full, no bore, no scheme. Our dam is looking sad
1:33 am
sandyloo

that means (as you know ) your water table must be low
1:34 am
daykat

we try to keep a reasonable supply of water for potential firefighting in the summer. The water table is low, creek hasnt started running and it always runs during May/June
1:35 am
daykat

Do you remember that old poem "We'll a be rooned, said Hanrahan..."
1:35 am
sandyloo

our back paddock used to be a wetland so if we have a wet winter it floods and I close it off from the horses =which means a green paddock in summer but now it is dry
1:35 am
daykat

and they say climate change is not real
1:36 am

1:57 am
herinfernallady

M9 i am trying to ditch this stupid cold.
1:58 am
m9f9l

oh yuck! do you ever do the cold sock trick?
1:58 am
herinfernallady

no what the heck is that
1:59 am
m9f9l

you soak your feet in hot water, then you put icy wet cotton socks on, and dry wool socks over that and get straight in bed under covers.
2:02 am
m9f9l

and in morning, the socks are dry and you feel a lot better.
2:02 am
joshuavorbis

that sounds truly horrible to me
2:02 am

that doesn't sound appealing at all
2:02 am

2:16 am
stidmama

Elton John's AIDA -- I am not fond of the music for this one, and he doesn't have an role apart from chorus, but that's part of being an actor... he's got Pooh Bah next week in The Mikado, which is a GREAT part for him
2:16 am
m9f9l

Aiden LOVES that Aida. there's some good songs in it. but the Mikado! awesome!
2:16 am
m9f9l

who is he doing it with?

I was thinking about what might have made my life as a student happier... and I was thinking he might need to hear the message that people who are "smart" at math also have to struggle, and sometimes make mistakes and forget things
2:26 am

yup

Hello -- back briefly -- hi stid!
2:38 am
stidmama

hey jill ((((hugs)))) I am glad I decided to get down to 100 before I went to sleep. I can sleep in tomorrow in good conscience because I picked up the stidkid from rehearsal
2:38 am
stidmama

need two more...
2:39 am
stidmama

down to 99...
2:39 am
stidmama

how are you doing jill?
2:39 am
jillibus

I was sidetracked for a while -- only have 104 words and 180 left :(
2:39 am
stidmama

go jill go!
2:39 am

*wink*
2:40 am

I was late getting here too -- been very busy and have also been working in a swim most days.
2:40 am
stidmama

good for you (swimming) and hope all is well?
2:41 am
jillibus

All is well! With you too, I hope.
2:42 am
stidmama

things are going as well as can be expected I suppose. Had really thought I would have the house (at least my study spaces) cleaned up by now, but am only just calming down enough to actually look at them and go through things. *sigh* I am so very nervous about student teaching...
2:42 am
Christine

Jillibus, was the Lightshow visible from your area?
2:42 am
stidmama

hey christine
2:42 am
sandyloo

silly nervous stid! you will be great!
2:43 am
jillibus

I don't see why you should be nervous -- you're a born teacher!
2:43 am
Christine

Hello, all - stll looking for 123.
2:43 am
stidmama

thanks all -- it's not the teaching, it's the hoops... and my lack of confidence in the program I chose as well as in the instructors. oh well. I have to try, and hope that my best will be good enough.
2:44 am
jillibus

No, Christine -- I take it you mean the Vancouver fireworks? Or are you referring to the No7/32n Lights which we didn't see last night? I tink because there's too much haze from the istant forest fires.
2:44 am

hi ruby

hi ruby
2:45 am
stidmama

BUT I am convinced that if I can survive the 2 hours (each way) commute that my diligence and ability will demonstrate to the teachers in the school that I am made of the right stuff. I really think they are the ones who will be my best allies.
2:45 am
stidmama

hey ruby!
2:45 am
stidmama

okay, it's nearly 1 am here and I MUST be up no later than 9 no matter what. SO.... sweet dreams and happy days all!
2:45 am

Good night stiddie!

how are things today ruby?
2:46 am
Christine

I maeant the Aurora Borealis (sp). At one time, on my computer, I had s little video of the lights -- apparently there's a rumbly sound that accompanies them. Bought a new laptop and transferred most things, but couldn't find that.
2:48 am
jillibus

I need to transfer things to my new laptop but am very unsure how. I need help that doesn't cost $60/hour!
2:48 am
joshuavorbis

do you have any cords to connect them?
2:48 am
joshuavorbis

or do you have a wireless network that both can use?
2:49 am
Christine

Is there an adult education class that you can attend, to learn how-to.
2:49 am
rubyfoo

Just checking to see if hospital has more rabies shots as they didn't have any on Tuesday after summoning us there. He needs more shots. But as far as insurance, culpability, etc., all is under control.
2:50 am
jillibus

I have a wireless network, and bought an external hard drive but haven't hookedit up yet. Nervous. Silly, I know.
2:50 am
rubyfoo

I wish you would all sing to him as he is very depressed!
2:50 am
sandyloo

that is great, have the offenders agreed to pay?
2:50 am
joshuavorbis

what are you nervous about?
2:50 am
sandyloo

poor thing , tell him he will get better and you are buying a beauceron if he doesn't cheer up
2:51 am
Christine

Hi rubyfoo, is your husband recovering?
2:51 am
jillibus

If I sand he'd be even more depressed!
2:51 am
jillibus

*sang (obviously bed-time)
2:51 am
rubyfoo

they've already spoken to their insurance company but the man came here and begged me to drop the complaint as he does want the dog put down and he faces 4 month in jail. I'm not dropping it until we have total restituion and dog is put down. I don't want that old man to go to jail!
2:52 am
rubyfoo

does not*
2:52 am
rubyfoo

hah, sandy
2:52 am
sandyloo

He shouldn't go to jail , but the dog has to be put down
2:52 am
rubyfoo

no infection but since they have to keep the wound open so that it heals from underneath, he must be very closely watched
2:53 am
jillibus

ruby, I've obviously missed something. Was your hubby attacked by a dog?
2:54 am
rubyfoo

yes, jilly, last Friday, seriously bitten by a VERY large dog and wound up in hospital
2:54 am
rubyfoo

like a nightmare.
2:54 am
jillibus

Oh dear! Where was he bitten?
2:55 am
rubyfoo

fortunately, this is a small village, the police went door-to-door and everybody got involved - local police, gendarmes and neighbors
2:56 am
rubyfoo

the dog bit (and ate!) a huge chunk out of his forearm and took him down, then came back and bit him on his upper arm. He's banged up from hitting the road and got a puncture in his other hand trying to fend off the monster
2:56 am
jillibus

Is the old man the dog's owner?
2:56 am
sandyloo

he was attacked while on a walk and the dog (unprovoked) took him down to the pavement and savaged him
2:56 am
jillibus

Oh, how horrible!
2:56 am
rubyfoo

yes, but he is not the one who controls the dog, it is his wife who rescued the dog from the SPA
2:56 am
sandyloo

then owner and dog disappeared from the scene
2:57 am
jillibus

Sounds as if NOBODY controls the dog.
2:57 am
rubyfoo

and husband is very fragile, lost consciousness a couple of times at the hospital and had to be admitted.
2:57 am
rubyfoo

but everybody in the village has come together on this and the mayor is insisting that the dog be killed
2:57 am
sandyloo

a lethal weapon Jilli
2:58 am
jillibus

indeed
2:58 am
rubyfoo

I've been on and on about this in the chog, but my Babble friends have been very supportive and Sandy linked me to the photo which helped the police find the dog
2:59 am
jillibus

How could Sandy do that?
2:59 am
rubyfoo

husband is strong except for his heart. I keep telling him that he is lucky that the dog didn't bite through a tendon, a muscle or an artery, or, worse, kill a little child, but he can't look at the bright side....
2:59 am
sandyloo

just from the internet jilli, got lucky
3:00 am
rubyfoo

the policeman knew the breed as he knows everything about the village, but didn't have a picture for the door-to-door
3:00 am
rubyfoo

sandy is wonderful!
3:00 am
jillibus

Ah, you found a picture of the breed and it was a Beauceron?
3:00 am
sandyloo

oh yes, a true hero !!lol
3:01 am
Christine

How very horrible for you & your husband, And the point about the dog biting a child, probably has occured to parents in the village. What breed is it?
3:02 am
rubyfoo

a beauceron, a recognized cross between a German shepherd and a doberman
3:02 am
Christine

0h, I see the breed - a beautiful dog.
3:02 am
rubyfoo

great idea for a cross, huh?
3:02 am
sandyloo

with big teeth
3:02 am
rubyfoo

the policeman thought it was a beauceron and sandy found it for me
3:03 am
rubyfoo

except when it's lunging at you!
3:04 am
Christine

A neighbour had a doberman, that just paced behind the fence. One night it got out - a night when I had no car, and walked from the busstop. It just stalked behind me, clicking his nails on the pavement.
3:04 am
rubyfoo

omg, that is scary Christine
3:04 am
sandyloo

scary chris, but Im glad it didn't attack you
3:05 am
sandyloo

dobermans are famous for hiding and letting people onto the property and then not letting them off the property
3:05 am
rubyfoo

I'm sure they can be lovely dogs, but to take in a huge dog like that, not raise it as a puppy, without knowing its background, seems totally irresponsible to me. There are a lot of children in the village
3:05 am
Christine

I wasn't sure if it was debating eating me raw, or deciding on a cooking method. My mother used to say you'd be okay if a dog couldn't sense your fear ... right.
3:05 am
rubyfoo

I didn't know that
3:06 am
rubyfoo

I can understand any dog biting if somebody invades its home (not our chows, of course, lol), but not like that, unprovoked
3:06 am
jillibus

from Wikipedia ; "...Adults are typically suspicious of strangers and are excellent natural guard dogs. On the other hand they typically take their cue from their handlers when it comes to greeting strangers..." They are a purebred now.
3:06 am
rubyfoo

I think that's a grandmother's tale; my husband loves dogs and has no fear of them
3:06 am
Christine

Beautiful dog, and the neighbour told me he was friendly, but shy, and couldn't make the first move.
3:07 am
rubyfoo

so if you had said "Hello, good boy" he might have attacked?
3:09 am
sandyloo

no the secret is to give of a pack leader attitude - no eye contact, but in Bert's case he was faced with an unstable dog already in the red zone, he could not have avoided it
3:09 am
Christine

I think most dangerous dogs are either not socialised from pupphood, or a trained to be 'bad'dogs. My parents and one sister had pitbulls and rottweilers, that thought they were lapdogs - but woe betide anyone who looked sideways at any of the grandchildren.
3:10 am
sandyloo

in itself a protective dog like that is dangerous
3:10 am
rubyfoo

I only have experience with our chows, so I'm no expert. But husband has always had dogs
3:11 am
sandyloo

all is in the hands of the owners bad owners make for bad dogs rescue dogs are an unknown quantity
3:11 am
jillibus

hear hear sandy!
3:11 am
rubyfoo

amen!
3:12 am
jillibus

Some breeds are unjustifiably labelled as dangerous, mostly because those who choose them want it that way
3:13 am

3:13 am

I think pit bulls are handsome and, from what I've heard, can be lovely pets. Also very trainable. They were in a lot of the old movies like Our Gang.
3:13 am

here, they have to be muzzled but the French are not great at enforcing their own laws
3:14 am

Congrats Josh. Hello everyone

well done josh hi lyn
3:14 am
jillibus

I think I've told you about the guy that came to us on his motorbike when we were breeding Danes and asked if we trained dogs. "Trained for what?" I asked. "For attack," said the jerk. "Good heavens, no1
3:14 am
rubyfoo

fortunately, in this case, everybody (except the owners) has come together on this issue and this particular dog!
3:15 am
rubyfoo

that's sick, jilli!!
3:15 am
jillibus

no!" I said, "An attack by a Dane could kill someone!" "That's what I want," he said. "If someone steals my bike he deserves to die."
3:16 am
rubyfoo

that is horrible!
3:16 am
sandyloo

good one jilli, I hate people who encourage savageness in dogs - our dogs are friendly but I know that if we were attacked they would come to our defence as would a lot of dogs but they dont need to be trained to attack
3:16 am
jillibus

"Goodbye", said I.
3:16 am
jillibus

There are too many jerks like that in the world.
3:17 am
rubyfoo

I think my Ruby would attack anybody who tried to hurt me....but our previous chow, Rufus, a grand old male, only said "woof" when a burglar came into the house and stayed upstairs with us
3:17 am
rubyfoo

maybe he though his job was only to protect us, not the house
3:18 am
jillibus

Oh, Rufus the doofus!
3:18 am
rubyfoo

he was a great gentleman!
3:19 am

I've only know one Dane and he was magnificent and used to try and sit on people's laps!
3:19 am
Sally-catlover

I would love a Great Dane jilli. I just really like big dogs.
3:20 am
lynxxx

Did you ever come across a nasty Dane Jilli?
3:20 am
Sally-catlover

Do they need mega exercise?
3:20 am
jillibus

Oh yes, our Danes were lap dogs.
3:20 am
lynxxx

hello Sally
3:20 am
jillibus

No, lyn.
3:20 am
Sally-catlover

lol, they wouldn't save you, they would love you to death!
3:21 am
Sally-catlover

sorry, not save - savage
3:21 am
jillibus

Danes are lazy but ours got lots of exercise -- we had about 3 acres fenced and they would romp and chase each other.
3:21 am
sandyloo

I saw an agressive dane at dog training once, but as I say the owner was hopeless - all other danes ive seen have been very gentle
3:22 am
Sally-catlover

Would hate to see a fat Great Dane.
3:22 am
jillibus

Well, the owners have a lot to do with how the dogs behave.
3:22 am
sandyloo

hmmm, I have never seen a fat dane
3:22 am
jillibus

Neither have I.
3:24 am
jillibus

Ours didn't have big appetites.
3:27 am
jillibus

3:29 am
sandyloo

ok , have to do work now , so i will be back later
3:29 am
Sally-catlover

Is that just the after-effects of shock, do you think?
3:29 am
rubyfoo

3:35 am
rubyfoo

3:36 am
rubyfoo

infection is the main issue now and we have to be really vigilant! Did I tell you that at our new hospital, none of the personnel washes his hands?
3:37 am
rubyfoo

it is scary when they go from room to room in the ER!
3:37 am
rubyfoo

fortunately, the visiting nurse is impeccable and our mocal MD is also involved. We'll only go back to the hospital for more rabies shots, but won't let them touch the wound!
3:37 am
rubyfoo

wounds*
3:38 am
rubyfoo

3:39 am
herinfernallady

Ruby my dad has just had his leg op and they were talking about the hypobaric room to add healing.
3:40 am
rubyfoo

I don't know if they have that here, but we'll avoid this hospital at all costs now. And his wounds have to heal from underneath.....I don't know what could help. The nurse said he should eat meat!
3:42 am
herinfernallady

Wound healing Vitamin A E and C
3:43 am
rubyfoo

he takes vit C and I'll tell him to double his dose and will check on the A and E
3:44 am
herinfernallady

Zinc and Silica too. BUT make sure what ever medication he is on nothing clashes
3:47 am
rubyfoo

he is already taking a lot of meds for his heart and now antibiotics and painkillers
3:47 am
rubyfoo

I'm afraid to give him anything beyond more vitamins
3:48 am
rubyfoo

what foods have E and zinc?
3:48 am
rubyfoo

he eats a lot of fruit and veggies
3:49 am
rubyfoo

must do a drugstore run for the dressings. See you later, dear friends!!!

5:11 am

good dayt to you all... sandy that is such a sweet little butterfly!

5:11 am
grannyrose

hey spritey

Sprite did you read my words about the butterfly
5:13 am
herinfernallady

Hi Shady
5:13 am
grannyrose

sprite, am on antibiotics for 3 months. apparently have an infection in the bones in my facial sinuses.
5:14 am
sprite

yes I did, isn't it a marvelous feeling, those butterfly legs on your finger? They do it here as well, especially when it is very hot.
5:14 am
herinfernallady

Granny lots of yogurt and cranny juice
5:14 am
grannyrose

today, my temp. dipped below 37C for the first time in nearly 11 weeks
5:14 am
sprite

oh rose, am glad they found it, but sorry it is such a nasty thing. Antobiotics for 3 months is severe.
5:15 am
sprite

that is very good news, rose. Even with those antibiotics you should start to feel better once the fever subsides. *hugs* to you.
5:16 am
grannyrose

well, when you walk into a specialist's room, and he says, " you've become a very interesting case "...it so4 of leaves you dumbstruck!
5:16 am
sandyloo

I love that photo of your 'vlinder' Sprite it is lovely
5:17 am
sprite

lol yes! That is close to the chinese curse 'May you live in interesting times'.
5:17 am
grannyrose

herin, yoghurt is ok, but cranny juice? can i take the capsule instread
5:18 am
sprite

I second lady, ro4. Cranberry juice is one of the best things in the world to help your body fight infections. Yeah, it tastes ugly. But it helps.
5:20 am
grannyrose

i figured you lot would say that * grump, grump*
5:21 am
herinfernallady

You can get the tablet form but taking antibiotics for a long period of time stuffs your innards up
5:22 am
sprite

:D My girl had a chronic bladder infection, recurring antiobiotics, name it. Nothing seemed to help. I put her on cranberry juice for a couple of months and she never has had another infection since.
5:23 am
grannyrose

noooo, not the yakult, pleeese, not the yakult!
5:24 am

Did you all check out my profile text?
5:48 am
sandyloo

I always do that is how I know that the photo is such a good photo of a vlinder
5:49 am
sprite

:D thank you sandy! I really loved that list of butterfly names in other languages. The list on the site is much longer. And not a single one resembles the butter and fly principle. Isn't it amazing?
5:51 am
sandyloo

It is Sprite, when I saw the word 'buttorfleoge" I immediately thought that was the dutch word for butterfly and was surprised to see vlinder
5:53 am
sprite

am just checking the etymology of vlinder, and that is interesting.
5:54 am
sprite

let me translate quickly...
6:03 am
sprite

ok, translation added to profile text, beneath the list of names.

6:10 am
herinfernallady

J40 you have just reminded me to stew up the strawberries tomorrow. If I had Chartreuse I would use that

herinfernallady

I use the alcohol as a preserver
6:22 am
J40

I've heard that & there's even a recipe for doing it in the bread machine but I'd still rather eat it than make it :)
6:23 am
herinfernallady

I have heard that too about the bread machine. I don't have one
6:26 am
J40

Couldn't live without mine - it's due to beep at me very soon, the house smells really nice.

raelite has been sometimes in facebook, but not a lot.

Seattle is okay as cities go. Getting a little too L.A.-like for my taste.
11:21 am
rururocks

seattle is nothing like LA..
11:21 am
flosey

I drove through Seattle once - during rush hour - in 1961 - would be interesting to see it at a better time of day
11:21 am
stidmama

box stores everywhere. Doesn't matter if you are here or there, you have the same selections. bah! *disgruntled mama look*

11:23 am
flosey

is Olympia a city or small town stid?
11:23 am
stidmama

L.A. has NOT improved with time. except there is a lot of family history down there for me, so I will go at least once more at some point.
11:24 am
rururocks

as opposed to LA
11:24 am
stidmama

Olympia has grown flosey, and styles itself a city (by population it is), but retains some of the inconveniences of small town without much of the charm remaining.
11:24 am
stidmama

hey ruru!

anyone have the stats on the o in the corner?

11:33 am
flosey

lol, it can be, crossy! one never knows what you'll get if you plant some squashes too close to each other
11:34 am
stidmama

LOL cross! it's more difficult to "diagnose" and if it's anything like the hybridized kale might not be edible. but it's sure pretty to look at!

hello everyone -- company has gone -- few days breather before the next batch
12:40 pm

he is very depressed and starting to feel pain i places that were numb
12:40 pm
rubyfoo

and the hospital is a bad joke
12:41 pm
pythonx

is he on pain meds?
12:41 pm
rubyfoo

yes, I'm giving him a mild opiate, approved by his md, but the hospital is horribly disorganized
12:41 pm
rubyfoo

and the bruising is migrating, which I find very scary
12:42 pm
pythonx

sorry to hear that, will keep him in my prayers
12:42 pm
rubyfoo

The good news is that the dog is "in jail" for 3 wks and then will most likely be put down and the owner is insured!

hi ruby -- sorry to hear that hubby is not well

pain where was numb is usually a good sign. that is good news about the dog.

good news about the insurance too
12:45 pm
rubyfoo

they have to keep it for 3 wks first and he has already had 6 rabies shots
12:45 pm
rubyfoo

yes, that is a relief. If you can imagine, the man's wife works for the FR equivalent of the ASPCA and this was a rescue dog!
12:46 pm
wildcat17

you just never know about animals, especially if the owners do not take good care of them

1:34 pm
featherbee

don't like coffee at all
1:35 pm
EvaNadine

this one is orange, mango, cinnamon.
my "usual" blend is a rooibos chat mixed with mattevana, which has little flecks of chocolate in it.
i have several other varieties around also. ;)
1:35 pm
bichon

I'm with you feath. It's tea, black, all the way with me
1:35 pm
cybernan

ro7=8 a cool word
1:37 pm
Nancy Boy

Mmm, that sounds good Eva! I've been drinking green tea with ginger and lemon recently, and it's deliiicious.
1:37 pm
cybernan

most americans do not drink tea, NB -- especially those in the south. Whenever we go south for the winter I always take a kettle and teapot with me, because chances are that neither will be in the house we rent!
1:39 pm
featherbee

whenever we have our superintendent's days or other large gatherings for our school district, there's always 2 coffee pots, regular and decaf, and a hot water pot for tea
1:39 pm
Nancy Boy

I couldn't live without tea. Got a new favourite which is white tea with peach juice. Easily the best-tasting non-alcoholic drink I've ever had!
1:39 pm

1:41 pm

I live in the South, and we drink plenty of tea, if mostly sweetened on ice
1:41 pm
EvaNadine

i have recently discovered sweet tea vodka. thats dangerous stuff. ;)
1:42 pm
Nancy Boy

it is Eva, I pretty much live on it now ;)
1:42 pm
Nancy Boy

ooh, I don't like sweetened tea Seain...I grew up in a house of tea purists, so that's probably why!
1:43 pm
dcseain

sweet iced tea, never hot
1:44 pm
EvaNadine

i used to only drink my tea with tons of sugar (silly american kid)
now i still like to sweeten my iced tea, but i prefer a tea (iced or hot) that has its own flavor so i dont have to sweeten it.
1:45 pm
Nancy Boy

I'm still trying to find the closest match possible to the chrysanthemum tea my family makes...it's delicious but short of making it myself, I can't get it anywhere!
1:46 pm
Trifioso

1:47 pm
dcseain

chrysantemum tea is a BIG happy!
1:47 pm
EvaNadine

if so, get a whole stash. :)
1:47 pm
cybernan

The tea was one of my disappointments in China. I was so looking forward to trying a lot of different kinds, which I did, but the teas there are not blended and the ones that I tried were all very flat with a bitter after taste.
1:48 pm
featherbee

hmm, is christine r. in here?
1:48 pm

2:00 pm
Nancy Boy

I'm not sure - probably the first few days, but after that I'll be travelling down to Jeju so I'll probably lose some contact. I'll try and keep everyone updated though ;)

Not bad, thanks. Keeping an ear on the room where playdate is sounding slightly cranky. How are you?
2:45 pm
stidmama

not bad also. decided to not worry about the state of the house today... but might finish clearing my mess from the desk in the living room later if I have the energy... I hate that I am so far from having a nice, neat house. I have about three weeks before I am officially back in school. *grumble*
2:46 pm
wildcat17

hi vic
2:46 pm
Vicuna

Oh, I hear that. I dislike a messy house - but I dislike cleaning it, too. On any given day you never know which one will come out stronger. Usually the lazier option, I'm afraid.
2:47 pm

i'm with you vi
2:47 pm

yes, housekeeping is lowest priority (as long as bathroom and kitchen aren't too unsanitary)
2:47 pm

any help on the is word?
2:48 pm
Vicuna

oh, I suspected an is word, but haven't found one yet. What's the letter count?

Cleaning is like putting beads on a string that doesn't have a knot at the end!
2:48 pm

When he was in the hospital at the end he had it on the bed and it was beautiful and full of love and really meaningful to all. I don't want to rush things, but it might help hyou to organize something like that for him.

Oh, Jellen, I've been dreading this ever since you said Tim's melanoma had spread. My cousin in NC went through the same thing, and I talked to him throughout, including a few days before the end. He was comfortable, just wishing he could get his energy back. I hope things will be as kind for yopur dear Tim, who has given you such joy and hope. My heart goes out to you both. Life can be so unfair.

oh... banoffee pie..its a brit concoction... u take a can of sweetened condensed milk..unopenned and boil the crap out of it... until becomes a caramel consistency and u spread that on a cracker crust... then you take double cream with some vanilla and some cut up bananas.... mix it gently and spread on the caramel layer.... top with whipped cream
10:47 pm
Nancy Boy

oh, and the sketches are by my flatmate Frank :)
10:47 pm

google recipes....here in canada u can only buy the sweetened condenced milk in a pop top can...which would explode under pressure..so there is a way of taking the gloop..adding butter and brown sugar and bringing it to a gentle simmer
10:51 pm
Jellen

at 6/18, please?
10:51 pm

and if u make up whipped cream... ( un sweetened ) and add sour cream and vanilla u can approximate to right consistency for the cream with the bananas
