3:27 am

3:32 am
herinfernallady

Not much just a case of can't be arsed itis
3:33 am

3:37 am
herinfernallady

Aussie Farmers Direct Lynxx? Are they good and worth it?
3:40 am
lynxxx

The same. Good quality fruit/veges. We got the $25 box each week. Good $ value, convenient. Problems - LOTS of apples and pears. You get essential veges but perhaps not enough of them. We usually ended up buying more celery and other greens. You can select what you want but you need to be paying at least $35 a week I think
3:42 am
sandyloo

There is a farm up the road from us that sells fruit and veges direct - that is great and they sell beautiful strawberries which are so cheap
3:42 am
herinfernallady

Lynnxx we are looking into it.
3:43 am

Well worth a try Infernal - we did it for about 6-9 months

3:48 am

There was usually enough potatoes for 2 meals in the $25 box. Have you looked on line - I think they give examples of what is in the boxes
3:48 am

3:56 am

as long as it is big chunked stracchiatella ice cream, I will not object
3:57 am
rubyfoo

hahah, that is husband's favorite flavor; we used to get that in Miami, a real gelato shop. Not here in the country, however
3:58 am
sprite

we have an italian ice shop in Zaandam, and when the father of the owner feels like it, mostly in summer of course, he drives a small ice car with a limited amount of flavours. Even into our neighbourhood :)
3:59 am
rubyfoo

how lovely!
4:00 am
sprite

it is lovely ice and often it is a surprise to hear the jingle he uses... if it coincides with our end of dinner, we get ice cream as dessert.

4:03 am

n*
4:03 am

4:08 am

you're certainly right, but it's hard to be tough when he's in such bad shape
4:08 am
rubyfoo

4:10 am

I can imagine, rubyfoo. He's had a bad shock and is hurt badly. But he should not take you for granted. I think it is great you do not let him trample you.
4:10 am
rubyfoo

you can't imagine how much the support I receive in the chog has helped me, before this catastrophe, too
4:11 am
rubyfoo

the collective wisdom in here is very impressive
4:11 am

it is, isn't it? Have often thought the same. Amazing community.
4:12 am
rubyfoo

we are such an assortment: nationalities, ages, experiences, etc.
4:12 am
rubyfoo

it is wonderful to get different points of view
4:13 am
rubyfoo

best word for me, to far: he6/24!
4:13 am

most people he4 are respectful to others and to other opinions. I often feel like the points of view supplement eachother.

good one :) Nice and quiet, hm?
4:14 am
rubyfoo

exactly!
4:15 am
herinfernallady

Seriously Ruby. My friend had a dog that was a lot nasty and she needed 2 people to muzzle and cage him. He learnt after 2 days that minimal contact no treats released for bathroom that it wasn't fun and he behaved better
4:17 am
rubyfoo

but I think this dog, Magique, can never be trusted again. Mayor came yesterday with the gendarmes to collect photos of husband's wounds and SHE wants the dog put down. She said that she was ashamed for our whole village that such a thing could happen here. Very nice, I thought!
4:18 am

red, I put it in. Thanks for the great idea.
4:18 am

4:22 am
herinfernallady

Ruby it is good that the village is working for you
4:23 am
rubyfoo

really a lovely surprise. And the fact that they all "know" my husband, even though he's so shy, works in our favor. He may be nasty to me sometimes, but he is very nice to all of the people he sees in the street
4:24 am

8:18 am

I always find it so interesting how we all use different words, how the word sh7/40 is instantly familiar to the English, but not the USians, and the word ca*** to me calls up a vision of skipping about rather than the food item.
8:18 am
EvaNadine

ahh. love short meetings. :)
8:19 am
ChampFit

I always go to the food item Sally!
8:20 am
Sally-catlover

But I don't think it's so commonly eaten in the UK. We have them, we might eat them, but not so commonly.
8:20 am
Sally-catlover

And I remember sh7 lemons as a child, but obviously that's not an international thing.
8:21 am
ardilla

hi all
8:21 am
Sally-catlover

We would suck the sh7 through a straw and it would go up our nose - er, no it wasn't what you think :-)
8:21 am
ChampFit

Definitely not...well not over here anyway. That clue threw me for a loop!
8:22 am
ChampFit

That's like a shake, only with the sh7? I didn't know people did that! But then again, why not?
8:22 am
msideb01

we know all about sh7 over here, we just put it in punch more often than eat it as it
8:22 am
Sally-catlover

It's the same with "celebrities" or characters. I have never viewed the particular soap that *** Sharples was in, but it would be instantly recognisable here. Whereas often people from US or Oz give similar clues and we all go "huh?"!
8:23 am
Sally-catlover

No it was (is) a powder.
8:23 am
ardilla

ooh, one of my favorite frozen desserts is in the grid
8:23 am
Sally-catlover

You could get it loose (and suck it through a straw) or contained in a pretend lemon, and when you sucked it the powder would come out and fizz.
8:24 am

as kids, we used to have sh7 bombs, pink 'lolly' around the powder - or small packets of the powder that you ate with a small spoon. Yum

Yes, on my final 34 and now listing.

One would think! We're trying to reach her to give her the chance to stop. Otherwise, we can file a report and let the constables handle it.
8:33 am
Sally-catlover

Think it's illegal in the UK to give alcohol under a certain age (not sure of age since my son is all growed up).
8:34 am
NonoNanette

Champ the autorities should be notified anyway. She is starting those teens on a very bad path

8:34 am

I have one growed up, thankfully, but 2 more behind! Nono, I talked to a constable about it. At the time, I didn't realize she was doing it for "everyone". Found that out after.
8:34 am
NonoNanette

Sally it is illegal here as well. In most states the legal age for drinking alcohol is 21
8:35 am
ChampFit

It sure isn't 15!!!
8:36 am
msideb01

yeah, 15 is a little young, even for underage drinking, which although I don't officially condone is undoubtedly exacerbated by the legal drinking age being 21 in the US
8:38 am
ChampFit

I know kids drink...but someone giving it to them without parental permission is wrong. I seem to remember stealing liquor at that age...! Occassionally...
8:38 am
EvaNadine

i agree, mside -- you can join the military and die for your country, you can smoke your way to cancer, but heaven forbid you have a drink. ;)
8:38 am
Sally-catlover

Faints. Have just googled. In UK, minimum age for consumption of alcohol in private is 5 (!!!!), in public with a meal and accompanied by an adult is 16, and for buying it it is 18. 5!!
8:39 am
ChampFit

Sally, you were better off not knowing! Rehab for 5 year olds!
8:39 am
Sally-catlover

I imagine if you regularly gave 5-year olds alcohol you would be prosecuted under some other law - not fit to be a parent or something.

Hi!

Nancy Boy

Eight days :S although actually, you can drink at 18 there, as long as you're turning 19 that year.
8:58 am
NonoNanette

many feel, as do I and I see Eva as well, that if a young person can serve and die for thier country at the age of 18
then they should have the right to have a drink

Have been meaning to ask you (wasn't here when you announced the trip), what has prompted you to go, and are you going with any family? (Don't say if it's private)
9:00 am
Judi

Legal - schmeagle. *pops cork* Who wants bubbly?
9:00 am
EvaNadine

yes, thats my thought, nono.
also, i feel that anything held SO taboo is just going to make people want it more. if the access were a little more relaxed, kids wouldnt care so much...
9:01 am
msideb01

the problem with that argument Nono is that it's old and overused... I don't disagree, but I think the more pressing issue is that of drunk driving. Kids aren't exposed to alcohol before then begin driving, and when they finally can (either legally or otherwise) the combiniation is deadly
9:01 am
Judi

And, good morning, as well.

OK... I just need 1 more E word...from the top row...
9:02 am
NonoNanette

I agree with that as well Eva, I do believe that the more relaxed laws of Europe and other places works very well. Young people are inclined to show more moderation it isn't taboo
9:02 am
Judi

I always laugh when people say marijuana is a "gateway drug". Alcohol is the biggest gateway drug EVER.
9:03 am
Nancy Boy

it's okay - I've wanted to go and see my extended family ever since I found out that my parents told them all I was dead, so for my birthday, my friends bought me a trip there! So going alone, and we'll see what happens...

Oh that's wonderful NB! I so hope it goes well for you. Will you just turn up and say, hey I'm alive? (hope none of them have weak hearts or you might be responsible for a lot of fatalities!)
9:06 am
Nancy Boy

As yet, I'm not sure :) I'm hoping the right way to act will just come to me when I get there! thanks for the good wishes; I might need some luck, with my family ;)
9:06 am
Nancy Boy

I might be being dense, Judi - what's a gateway drug?
9:07 am
Sally-catlover

Gateway to hard drugs
9:07 am
car.eeyore

I wish you a safe and peaceful trip NB!
9:08 am
Judi

One of our silly Yank expressions, NB. It means a drug that (supposedly) makes you want to try stronger drugs.
9:08 am
Nancy Boy

Well thank you, Car! :)
9:09 am
Nancy Boy

oooh, that makes more sense, Judi. I was thinking in terms of mushrooms - the gateway to the miiiind - but thought that was probably not what you meant...
9:09 am
msideb01

the theory is that people who do marijuana will eventually do something like cocaine, then maybe meth, etc., each step progressively more detrimental
9:10 am
Sally-catlover

It's silly really, because by that analogy people who drink wine with their dinner will end up as alcoholics in the gutter ((carefully brushes mud off clothes*)
9:10 am
Judi

For some addictive personalities, that may well be true. However, for most people, I don't think marijuana leads to crack houses and shooting galleries.
9:10 am
car.eeyore

BBL...must go play fishing game on the Wii!
9:11 am
Nancy Boy

I agree - I won't lie; I've tried my fair share of drugs. And I've come out of it all with an addiction to nothing stronger than nicotine.

waves hello
9:13 am
msideb01

certainly not, and I have too, NB... but the original stimulus for marijuana to be made illegal was the whole "reefer madness" craze in the 20s when the white upper class came onto the notion that black men would do marijuana and rape white women... that led to fear, which led to widespread support for its outlawing, and without really any medical reasoning, the rest is history
9:13 am
Judi

I tried a few things in my much younger days. But, I would never dream of even touching meth, crack, LSD, etc.
9:14 am
Judi

LOL. "Reefer Madness" was hilarious. MJ makes you mellow and hungry and totally unmotivated to commit any crimes.
9:15 am
Nancy Boy

Oh, I think I've heard something like that before, Mside - lots of theories as to why it was made illegal. Some crazier than others ;)
9:16 am
herinfernallady

Maybe the women were robbed for munchy money (sorry I should SO not be joking aobut that)
9:16 am
Nancy Boy

I was similar, Judi. My rule was nothing that had to be injected, 'cause I'm squeamish about needles. LSD was terrifying and I would NEVER do it again.
9:17 am
Judi

I work at a PD station. We get bulletins all the time about new and fashionable drugs. Now dealers are making hard candy laced with marijuana.
9:17 am
herinfernallady

Nancy was that the Headhog experience?
9:19 am
Judi

lol. There was even a factory in some southern state that was making confections like, "Pot Tarts".
9:20 am
msideb01

mmmm... those sound delicious. pop one in the toaster for breakfast and have a nice day
9:20 am
herinfernallady

I just need real pop tarts. Got to love and embrace my ADHD tendancies
9:21 am
Judi

*plans to secretly shop online for "special lollipops" tonight*
9:21 am
Nancy Boy

Oh no, the hedgehog experience was magic mushrooms, and they were just lovely. LSD I tripped out very badly - the sky was bright purple and I was seeing dead bodies everywhere. I thought it was the apocalypse!
9:21 am
Judi

Bummer, NB.
9:22 am
msideb01

yeah, that sounds like a bad trip... I'd definitely try shrooms though. would you recommend it, NB?
9:23 am

the problem with the weed is that while it may not lead to other drugs it is almost always the

I always press the wrong thing
9:24 am
Sally-catlover

Well I have pretty sparkly things without the aid of LSD, so will go before the talk gets really illegal :-)
9:25 am
sandyloo

discussion is the gateway to knowledge
9:25 am
Judi

I wasn't aware one could get high from spiders? I'd have to rank that one down there with toad licking.
9:25 am
sandyloo

wine will do me
9:25 am
Nancy Boy

at risk of causing controversy, Mside, being on shrooms was one of the most joyful times I can remember. The atmosphere would have helped too - I was at a festival, so people and music everywhere - but it was just incredible.
9:25 am
sandyloo

licking a toad is not my thing
9:27 am
Nancy Boy

(so that's a yes, I guess ;))
9:28 am
Judi

Toads = unsanitary.
9:28 am
msideb01

haha, interesting... controversy or not, I don't mind satisfying my curiosity by asking about it. sounds like a lot of peace love and music to me
9:29 am
sandyloo

we have lots of frogs hopping around here tonite (sandy stares at a frog)
9:30 am
sandyloo

and tomorrow we will have some mushrooms on the paddock.....
9:30 am
Judi

Ew ew ew. I think you have to stick to the cain toads to get the amphibian high.
9:30 am
Nancy Boy

well that was it exactly, Mside...people dancing, flowers blossoming, red sunsets, that sort of thing ;)
9:31 am
sandyloo

those cane toads are really revolting
9:31 am
Jellen

Hello, all!

Sorry. I guess I must have been thinking of the co-caine toad. (nyuk nyuk nyuk)

HI Jellen. Sandy you guys have the cane toads?
9:33 am
Nancy Boy

I'd love to know exactly what circumstances led to the first person figuring out that you could get high from licking a toad.
9:33 am
Jellen

Thank you Judi
9:33 am
sandyloo

we don't herin, they occasionally have been seen in our norwest and there is a society who is putting things in order so that they can keep the spread to our state under control
9:34 am
Judi

Off to the PB for all those who referred to the ca4 toad.
9:35 am
sandyloo

I think if a bouny of 20 cents even was put on their heads, kids would go around catching and cashing in - it would save the government loads in the long run
9:35 am
msideb01

Maybe they were high on marijuana and got the munchies and the only thing in sight was a toad? so marijuana actually would be a gateway drug... a gateway to TOADS!
9:35 am
sandyloo

Hey, I didn't have that one and I only have 29 left
9:36 am
sandyloo

Lets face it , it was the bounty on the Tassie Tiger that caused it to become extinct
9:36 am
Nancy Boy

LOL!! I'm sure ;)
9:36 am
Judi

LOL, msideb! I think what really happened was, some guy saw his dog get a little loopy after trying to chomp a ca4 toad. Thought it might work for him as well. That, or it was a carefully controlled laboratory experiment. (Yeah. Right.)
9:37 am
Nancy Boy

just seems like it would be one of those dubious stories that a weird friend tells you that starts with, "well, I was crawling along and licking the pavement, when..."

thanks Peri. last year when my mom was sick i felt so fragile and would sometimes wonder why people would act callous or whetever. then i would realize they didn't know i was in a fragile state. i wondered how many times have i been rough with peoples feelings when i didn't know that they were dealing with stuff. just a good reminder bc you never know.

My mom died 6 days after I turned 20 and I was in a pretty intense program at college.. My Dad called me that morning and told me she had died in the night... I started crying and he said 'well now...don't be upset..." And I guess I just felt from my upbringing that I had to suck it up. Went to class that morning and didn't even tell my profs..
2:07 pm

The Drama Queens

The Drama Queens are back in town,
Mascara teardrops rolling down
Their florid cheeks past scarlet lips.
Spilling forth, wild spurts and snips.
Out of control, emotional cries.
Heat of the moment, twisting lies.

She hugs their broken, pent up sobs
About their boyfriends, kids and jobs.
Mrs. Fixit fixed it again
And stemmed the flood of blackened rain.
Off they trip, Oh! So satisfied.
Come again on tomorrow's tide.
4:16 pm

But iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.

Minski

My 5 1/2 year old daughter just wet her bed not 5 minutes after I left the room after doing bedtime because she didn't think I spent enough time with her during our ni-ni process. While we were changing the sheets we told her we were angry with her and that we would let her know what her punishment is in the morning. She replied that we wouldn't remember in the morning so it doesn't matter.
7:43 pm
Minski

So what should the punishment be?
7:44 pm
stidmama

she may be telling the truth minski
7:44 pm
stidmama

could she have a UTI? that can cause previously continent children to have trouble.
7:44 pm
featherbee

she's right about that, the consequence usually needs to be right away
7:44 pm
stidgmere

So did you remember?
7:44 pm
ChampFit

I'd dang sure remember, and maybe she should be the one to change the bed. And learn how to wash the sheets.
7:44 pm
stidmama

another thought could be to let her sleep on a wet bed...
7:45 pm
Minski

No she's perfectly healthy. She was crying when I left the room because she didn't want me to leave.
7:45 pm
stidmama

put a towel under the sheet and tell her you'll deal with it in the morning.
7:45 pm
ChampFit

Like it!
7:45 pm
Minski

I like that one. I wish I'd thought of it. I used to do that myself when I wet the bed.
7:45 pm
stidmama

If she's healthy and otherwise doesn't have memory problems, I would let her take the natural consequences. *shrug*
7:46 pm
featherbee

i would say let it go this time, but have a talk with her, and tell her if it happens on purpose again, she'll need to either sleep in wet sheets, or with no sheets and just a blanket. and/or she'll need to strip the bed. oh, had a thought! the punishment tomorrow is that she needs to do the laundry of the sheets.
7:46 pm
ChampFit

But you're feeling guilty...why?
7:46 pm
Minski

I was thinking no sweets or dessert for the weekend but we are going to a family reunion this weekend and it will be impossible to follow up on that.
7:46 pm
Minski

No. I'm pissed. I'm furious. This is a power struggle.
7:46 pm
stidmama

sweets and dessert are unrelated to the action -- the consequence is best when it's directly related.
7:47 pm
Minski

I wouldn't sleep with her so she wet the bed.
7:47 pm
stidmama

rofl... you're LITERALLY pissed... *grin*
7:47 pm
featherbee

LOL stid!
7:47 pm
Minski

lol stid
7:48 pm
featherbee

make her be the one to wash the sheets tomorrow, put them in the dryer, and she needs to help you remake the bed with those sheets tomorrow. that will drive it home.
7:48 pm
stidmama

but tomorrow Minski, is a new day -- today's misbehavior should be left in the past... I think. -- unless you want her to help with the laundry, which is a great suggestion.
7:49 pm
stidgmere

Washing sheets is a logical consequence, even if you have already washed the ones that were soiled.
7:49 pm
stidmama

(((Minski))) in a couple months, neither you nor she will remember this incident, you know.
7:49 pm
stidmama

still need help on the next-to-last sp 6/24 please?
7:49 pm
Minski

you're right about the sheets. she will do her own laundry in the morning and help me fold hte sheets.
7:49 pm
stidmama

before the orb...
7:50 pm
stidmama

that's about the right amount of work for a 5-year old, imho
7:50 pm
ChampFit

Minski, you get to win...you're the momma. It'll be ok.
7:50 pm
Good Enough

it's a control issue. don't make a big deal about the punishment (help with laundry is great) and tomorrow night do not give in. ni-ni process and go!
7:51 pm
Good Enough

i mean go as in leave not go as in...go!
7:51 pm
stidmama

yes. what good said. it's like when she was very little and you were first putting her to sleep alone in the crib. Be consistent. Be kind, but firm. DON'T give in.

After taking several cat na 4/5 today, I took a good bi 4/6 out of this grid. Did not like the way it tasted so I quit at 171 words.Now he4/5 is a story of clues. It ir4/4 me when celebrities think that they can get away with anything.Take Mel Gibson for example. He is the biggest jerk I've ever se4/4. He is even worse than Charlie Sh4/5. Mel Gibson has some ne5/16! Mel Gibson has been acting a little ee 5/10 lately. In fact he has been acting ee6/18 now than did a few years ago. He er4/4 every time he leaves a nasty message for Oksana. He does not treat her with one ounce of resp4/6t.Pe7/40 Gibson needs some therapy. Maybe after therapy Mel Gibson will be able to make pe5/14 with Oksana. However, Oksana is not so pr 4/6 and proper herself. I think she egged him on so she could sell him down the ri5/16. I used to like Gibson. Now I think he is a he4/5.The me4/5 sight of him makes me want to he4/5. His voice gets on my ne6/27 now. To me, he is just a waste of sp 5/14. Someone needs to grab him by the na4/5 of his neck & just shake some sense into him. Think he should be booted out of this hemisp6/24 & up into sp 5/14. I think that he should reti4/4 and pe4/6anently become a he6/24 because his career is over.His re4/5s will drop him. His movie career is over and he certainly won't be getting any jobs doing pr 5/14 ti4/5 TV. He won't be getting any jobs based on me 5/12. I am sure that he has lost all his friends in his in5/10 circle.I'm sure he'll no longer re 4/5 the benefits of being a celebrity.I am sure pe 5/14 just le 4/4 at him when they see him.There's no way he can re 7/36 his image. Now I am off to watch a Re4/4e Witherspoon movie now. Watching a movie at this hour might make me sl 8/45 than I already am so I will be a sl7/32 and go to sl 5/12 after movie.Bye
