recipe for spotted dick on the way....

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

Spotted Dick
-------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
-----
2 oz plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 teaspoon mixed spice
pinch of salt
2 oz shredded suet
1 oz white or brown sugar
4 oz currants
2 oz fresh breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten
4-5 tbsp milk

Butter a 1.5 pint pudding basin. Sift the flour, baking powder, spice and salt into a mixing bowl and mix in the suet, sugar, fruit and bread- crumbs. Stir in the egg and sufficient milk to produce a soft consistency that drops off the spoon in 5 seconds.
Turn the mixture into the pudding basin, which should be two-thirds full. Cover with greased foil or a snap-on lid (the plastic container from a 2 lb Christmas pudding is worth saving for this purpose.) Steam for 2 to 2.5 hours. When cooked, remove the cover and allow the pudding to shrink slightly, then cover the basin with a hot serving plate, hold it firmly and invert. Lift off the basin to leave the pudding on the plate.

Serve hot with custard.

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

Custard
-------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
-----

3 egg yolks
1 tbsp caster sugar
1/2 pint milk
1/4 tsp vanilla essence

Whisk the yolks and sugar together in a bowl. Heat the milk in a saucepan until it is nearly boiling.
Whisk the hot milk gradually into the egg mixture. Put the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and stir the mixture over the indirect heat until it is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. (Direct heat will make the custard curdle.)

Stir in the vanilla essence and more sugar, according to taste. Strain and serve hot.

1:18 am

rururocks

there are prescriptions for that dee

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

lol

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

1:19 am

flosey

no, it's fat

1:19 am

rururocks

oh

1:19 am

flosey

yes Dee, suet cakes filled with bird seed

1:19 am

helensgirlkid

Substitute lard for the suet

1:20 am

helensgirlkid

Suet is beef lard

1:20 am

rururocks

suet yourself I guess

1:20 am

m9f9l

getting suet and tripe confused eh?

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

dictionary.com def the hard fatty tissue about the loins and kidneys of beef, sheep, etc., used in cooking or processed to yield tallow.

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

1:20 am

m9f9l

1:23 am

flosey

1:29 am

VolleymomDee

funny fact at that site: By mid-century there were several active chitterling eating clubs - Royal Order of Chitlin Eaters of Nashville, Tennessee and the Happy Chitlin Eaters of Raleigh, North Carolina. There is even a song on chitlins called Chitlin Cookin' Time in Cheatham County:

There's a quiet and peaceful county in the state of Tennessee
You will find it in the book they call geography
Not famous for its farming, its mines, or its stills
But they know there's chitlin cookin' in them Cheatham County hills
When it's chitlin cookin' time in Cheatham County I'll be courtin' in them Cheatham County hills
And I'll pick a Cheatham County chitlin cooker
I've a longin' that the chitlins will fill

1:29 am

NonoNanette

nbt now

7:42 am

rubyfoo

it's funny living here, although the neighbors are all very friendly, it is not the same as being friends with other ENglish-speakers. And the level of intimacy that comes easily to Americans, doesn't happen here

7:43 am

rubyfoo

and now I have to go and see to the patient!

I think I should go back and read the chog form last evening to see whats going on

8:05 am

dcseain

8:05 am

dcseain

not unlike with zooz the other day

8:05 am

NonoNanette

thanks DC, knowing the time will help

8:06 am

Soodlebum

I have just read it,DC. thats the second such episode in as many days.... how very distressing for all concerned.

8:06 am

dcseain

indeed. both have had very recent traumatic events, and apparently histories of depression, so i think just an unfortunate coincedence

8:07 am

Trifioso

morning friends. what is WITH the chog these days? so many people in such distress!!!

8:07 am

dcseain

sucky economy, hard life situations, and not all minds are equal chemically :/

8:07 am

Trifioso

and poor jellen--- how can these people not understand, that she just lost someone who fought for his life to the very, very end. and yet they would throw away what he would gladly trade for?

8:08 am

dcseain

and jellen reaching out so much to shady at this time, too

8:08 am

Trifioso

please, don't think I don't understand how desperate depression is...

8:08 am

dcseain

she's really a wonderful person

8:08 am

Trifioso

I know! poor jellen! and how amazing she is!!!

8:09 am

Soodlebum

I agree. Jellen has been wonderful.

8:09 am

Trifioso

off topic, but -- as a PROUD Bostonian, I can attest that "pissa{ is absolutely a valid word. ahem.

8:09 am

hurshy

as long as society remains focused on consumption rather than quality of life, it's hard for anyone to enjoy a good quality of life... and as long as the rich and powerful think of and protect only themselves, others will suffer.

for those in sorrow I mena

8:20 am

Haz1558

Good morning/afternoon all.

8:20 am

sandyloo

and for those without lickety

8:21 am

sandyloo

hi Haz how goes your recovery?

8:21 am

Trifioso

it is, but I must admit, the very idea of suicide makes me angry as all hell. its a selfish, selfish act that leaves so much sorrow in it's wake. a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

8:21 am

Haz1558

Swimmingly, thanks.

8:22 am

sandyloo

I think it is the ultimate selfish act, but we cannot understand , I guess , if we haven't been in that position

8:22 am

Soodlebum

Haz!!! (Minus the Gall-Bladder). I heard about your op. I am absolutely delighted to hear you are doing well. {{Haz}}

8:22 am

Trifioso

i do try to understand, and god know I have felt despair, but never so much that I would throw sorrow in the face of those I love

8:22 am

Haz1558

Hello, Soodle - I'm feeling really well, so I'm pleased and thankful.

8:23 am

sandyloo

I cling to life like a limpet , I want to live forever, I dont understand how people could not value life

8:23 am

Haz1558

But Trif, bear in mind that people aren't thinking straight when they do what they do. They aren't being rational.

8:23 am

Soodlebum

I work in the Coroners Service here. Every working day, I receive phone calls from people bereaved by suicide. If only the deceased could have seen the total and utter devastation caused by their actions, I think they would rethink.

8:23 am

Trifioso

"like a limpet".....LOLOLOL

8:23 am

hurshy

many times, i think, people simply are so caught up in their own pain that they don't realize they are likely to hurt others by suicide. sometimes they even believe their loved ones will genuinely be better off if they are gone.

8:24 am

sandyloo

That is the problem, they dont have that reaoning power when they are so down

8:24 am

Trifioso

Yes, i agree haz. and soodel, and hurshy. you are all right.

8:25 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. A young doctor here took her own life, convinced that her work was useless, that she had no friends. The church was full to overflowing with her friends and family, devastated that they hadn't been able to help. Her work wasn't useless, she had many friends, she just couldn't see it.

8:25 am

sandyloo

so tragic and what a terrible waste

8:26 am

Haz1558

You're right, it was a tragedy. Her life hadn't been without pain or hardship etc, but she hadn't cried out for help until it was too late.

8:27 am

hurshy

it makes ME angry how friends will show up to a funeral but not make the effort to keep up with a person who's living, and who they perhaps even know has depression.

8:27 am

melissamay

As someone who has lost people I love to suicide, I understand the anger and sense of betrayal the living have toward people who decide to end lives that have become little more than synonyms for pain. It's natural. But what is left when that anger dies but empathy? What other response can there be to imagine pain so profound that the sufferer finds only death an escape from it?

oooh, that reminds me - if you see anyone who asks you if I am a surgeon, say "yes!" I wore one of my dad's scrub shirts out yesterday, and primo and i ended up at a yard sale, unexpectedly. I had no cash on me, but the guy let me write a check "since I was a doctor, and surely good for the money"....tee hee!

In this case, these were friends who were closely involved with her life, but she had masked her problems very cleverly.

Soodlebum

I dread my phone ringing in work. I know that at the other end of it is going to be somebody so bewildered, so hurt, so utterly grief-stricken, that often they are beyond words. I understand what you are saying Melissamay, but, when you have to deal with the immediate consequences of a suicide, its hard to make sense of it.

8:29 am

sandyloo

Haz, that is one thing about Babble, at least it is a forum where people like Zooz for instance can vent and maybe it saved his life

8:29 am

Trifioso

I often wonder how many suicides never meant to go thru with it, only to signal they needed help, only to succeed a bit too well

8:30 am

Trifioso

I agree sandy. I really do

8:30 am

hurshy

not too many, i think, trif, since i believe a large proportion of attempts are unsuccessful.

8:30 am

Trifioso

well, wishful thinking on my part, i guess....

8:30 am

sandyloo

Trif you are a hero

8:31 am

Trifioso

no more so than the other who also acted to help, sandy, but thanks.

8:31 am

melissamay

I know that well. That's why it's important to be honest about the powerful feelings and pain a survivor is left with. Thanks for helping people in that place with your work, Soodlebaum.

8:32 am

Trifioso

on a positive note, please do take a moment to check out my new icon. it seems appropriate for this moment. my daughter and her friend are the arms in the photo, and it was their idea....

8:33 am

Soodlebum

Oh, I often put the phone down and wonder did I do any good at all. Its very much a 'play-it-by-ear job....try to guage the situation and do my best.

8:33 am

Haz1558

Soodle, sometimes people just need to have some kindness.

8:34 am

sandyloo

Trif I see a green heart with no arms

8:34 am

Trifioso

sandy, the arms are making the shadow heart

8:34 am

melissamay

You're there. That's what's important. At some point I decided when a friend was in real trouble it didn't matter that I didn't know what to say or do, a presence is what really matters at the heart.

8:34 am

sandyloo

as the famous line goes "goodness is its own reward"

8:34 am

Trifioso

there is a girl on each side of the heart, holding her arms up to the other, to make the heart

8:35 am

sandyloo

I see it now, how lovely

8:35 am

melissamay

Sometimes just a kind voice is enough to help someone lost in the dark find their way home. :)

8:36 am

sandyloo

indeed it is, I always say -if you cant say anything nice , then say nothing at all

8:36 am

Soodlebum

Oh Trif, that is really lovely. And so appropriate today!! :-)

8:36 am

Trifioso

oh dear - it just started to pour, and according to reports will do so for three or four days. Our country fair just started on friday, so this is NOT good news

8:36 am

sandyloo

Kindness is easy to give

8:37 am

Soodlebum

And now, I must go. Dublin is playing in the semi-final of the All-Ireland Football Competition, and they need my support from the comfort of a high stool in my local hostelry!!

8:38 am

Trifioso

fun, soodle! tip one back for me!

8:38 am

melissamay

My gosh I have 31 words left and I just don't know if they're going to come. Take care and have a good day/night everyone.

8:38 am

Haz1558

Bye, Soodle, enjoy!

Hello To

9:09 am

72 Temple Owl

hi haz, how's it going today?

9:09 am

Haz1558

Fine, thanks. I'm feeling really well, no painkillers since Friday.

9:10 am

NonoNanette

thats great Haz

9:10 am

72 Temple Owl

wow. a benefit of doin it before it gets too far along.

9:11 am

Haz1558

Yes, I'm delighted to be feeling almost back to normal. Keyhole is the way forward.

9:12 am

72 Temple Owl

if you did not have private insurance, would they have made you wait until it was bad?

9:13 am

Haz1558

No, I'd have been put on a list to see a consultant, then another list for surgery - however, if had become an emergency, it would have been done straight away.

9:13 am

Haz1558

I wouldn't want to risk that degree of pain!

9:14 am

72 Temple Owl

more than that. my gran self doctored for years. when she finally went she had pancreatitis and a bad outcome. i'll never forget that.

9:14 am

Haz1558

That's the risk - it can become a major problem.

9:15 am

72 Temple Owl

i know it is horribky painful, i don't see how anyone could do that

9:15 am

Haz1558

What are you up to today, TO, apart from babble?

9:17 am

72 Temple Owl

seems not much...have been cleaning. little by little trying to declutter.

9:18 am

Haz1558

Leave plenty of time for the grid - it's not the friendliest. Decluttering is much easier when it's not your own stuff.

9:18 am

72 Temple Owl

well i hate to admit it but i started last night and need 39

9:19 am

Haz1558

With any other grid I'd say you were on the home straight. With this one - not sure what to say!

9:20 am

72 Temple Owl

well i just got my first word from first column g...

9:20 am

ChampFit

that's as far as I've gotten with that g!

9:21 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, i fear the rest will be a gi5 pain

9:22 am

72 Temple Owl

haz, did you be any chance read last night's log?

9:22 am

Haz1558

I did - it was frightening all over again.

9:22 am

Haz1558

You mean about shdy, I take it?

9:23 am

72 Temple Owl

i could not go to bed.

9:24 am

Haz1558

I'm glad people were able to talk to her, it seemed even more brutal than before.

9:25 am

72 Temple Owl

i did not read anything past when someoen called her.

9:25 am

good morning everyone;) i see we get to fly the aussie airlines;)

9:26 am

herinfernallady

Crossssssie

9:26 am

Haz1558

I think they were going to call again later to check that things were better. It's absolutely not what we expected when we signed up to find words, is it? it shows the power of the internet.

9:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

it's a little intense to deal with suicidality on a webgame though...

9:26 am

72 Temple Owl

i'd better fly my self out of here so I won'tmiss greg mortensen's interview,hhm, maybe already too late

9:27 am

9:29 am

72 Temple Owl

i have the qua4 that usually precede mire; qua5/16 mod designer mary; and qua5/16 liquid measure

9:29 am

Haz1558

Add a vowel to the end of Miniskirt Mary.

9:29 am

Haz1558

Then add first two letters of Queen's daughter to the liquid measurement.

9:29 am

72 Temple Owl

gee, i tried the aussie airline but who knew?

72 Temple Owl

haz, do schools have lots of summer vacation in you area?

9:37 am

m9f9l

I do feel kind of sick

9:37 am

72 Temple Owl

what's up with that?

9:37 am

Haz1558

Yes, about eight weeks. Most will have the whole of July and August off. In England, they tend to wait until the middle of July before they finish.

9:38 am

smooth_pappa

*yawn* good morning all!

9:38 am

72 Temple Owl

there is a push for year round school here. hi smooth

year round requires a lot of planning, but oh, would I love it!

9:39 am

smooth_pappa

How's everyone doing this foggy, muggy sunday morning? Errr... at least it's foggy, muggy, and morning where I am. :)

9:40 am

Haz1558

People are expected to take their annual summer holidays during July and August, how would that work if it were year round and you had children disappearing for two to three weeks at a time?

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

never happen. fullshcool year now is about 180 days here beg right after labor day and some not ending until nearly july 4\

9:40 am

ChampFit

that's the problem...it would require a total re-do of how people do things. but do you think vacationing might be easier if you weren't there with EVERYONE?

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

with all of the time off in between it

9:40 am

m9f9l

I'm very depressed. The talk about being so happy to have one's children gone for most of their lives is really making me want to cry.

9:41 am

m9f9l

oh crap. I AM crying. dang it!

9:41 am

crosshair

we are in tourist area here so if you want to work,you work june,july and aug,many take sept off or just have to wait till x-mass break

9:41 am

m9f9l

ok. I gotta get off here.

9:41 am

ChampFit

only a bit during the day. not locking them in prison or anything! and there's a lot to be said for not losing everything they learned over a long break.

9:41 am

m9f9l

*poof*

9:41 am

72 Temple Owl

oh geeze. see you all later

9:42 am

Haz1558

Don't forget that with the weather the way it is over here, if people don't holiday abroad, then the summer months are the best. Okay, in theory, at least!

9:42 am

ChampFit

what just happened?

9:42 am

72 Temple Owl

i am finding another game. seriously.

10:01 am

72 Temple Owl

10:02 am

Jellen

10:02 am

herinfernallady

I know what is happening but I was not here yesterday.

10:03 am

herinfernallady

Jellen. Do. If you made a verbal agreement to answer the phone and she hasn't do so please

10:03 am

72 Temple Owl

were you on with her very late last night?

10:03 am

Haz1558

Jellen, I'm sorry you're having to take on this responsibility, but it may be worth it, even just to set your mind at rest.

10:04 am

crosshair

yes,do not waste time have someone check on her

10:04 am

72 Temple Owl

perhaps she wore herself out

10:04 am

Jellen

Yes, she gave me her phone number and we talked...she promised she would call a crisis hotline...

10:05 am

herinfernallady

Did she say she would answer in the AM?

10:05 am

72 Temple Owl

as she descibed it the police are alreaday involve, is that correct?

10:05 am

Jellen

Yes, she has called the police on him before...

10:06 am

72 Temple Owl

10:06 am

Jellen

I'm going to call...brb

10:07 am

herinfernallady

10:07 am

72 Temple Owl

i am sorry, not helping , sorry

10:07 am

72 Temple Owl

time to go, catch you all another time

10:07 am

herinfernallady

72 Temple Owl

10:11 am

Haz1558

First three letters for an old horse/complaining woman, last three are for the King of Siam's governess, minus one of the double consonants.

10:11 am

Haz1558

I don't know all the details in detail, ruru, but she seemed in a bad way.

10:12 am

Cosmo Kramer

tx Haz.. figured it out with your clue..

10:12 am

JBV

good morning, friends - another intense drama here last night - very distressing to feel helpless in the face of desperate suffering

10:12 am

Haz1558

That's good - I've never seen the word before, Cosmo.

10:12 am

rururocks

maybe she will get some counseling to find out why she is attracted to bad men

10:13 am

JBV

that's a much later step, ruru, this is a crisis right now, just to be willing to talk to anyone at all

10:13 am

rururocks

na 6 is monkey food for horses haz.. of course?

10:14 am

rururocks

no man is worth killing yourself over

10:14 am

JBV

no anything is worth killing yourself over

10:14 am

Haz1558

Of course!

10:15 am

Haz1558

Okay, time I was heading out. This is a stinkeroo of a grid but don't let me put you off. Enjoy!

10:19 am

herinfernallady

Ru. I wasn't here last night..can only do what you can when you can. I find that life is too short to hurt yourself. I have a motto why hurt yourself when you can piss off others too :D

10:20 am

rururocks

10:22 am

Jellen

10:25 am

JBV

you are wonderful, Jellen

10:25 am

Jellen

I think she's slightly better, but still very fragile...

10:25 am

JBV

she needs to be face to face with someone who can assess and help her

10:25 am

herinfernallady

Jellen you need to go have some Jellen time. That and a big squishy hug, cookie and fav beverage

10:25 am

smooth_pappa

I've had to deal with depression before, and it's such a horrible thing to battle.

10:25 am

Jellen

Told her I'd call her back this afternoon...

10:26 am

Jellen

It is, I agree smooth_pappa

one week and one day and I show up freshly scrubbed to do two days of prep-work ... the following day the students show up. *sudden urge to hide under a rock*

10:42 am

*checks to make sure there are no rock available*

10:42 am

JBV

very exciting, stid - you are going to be great!

10:42 am

anxiety, parenting, anguish?

10:43 am

crosshair

ahh stiddles,once again into the trench! all those pliable young minds poised on your every work,ready to soak up your lessons like a sponge....

10:43 am

stidmama

no, I am not going to be great. I will be adequate, I will forget to do some things, and I will completely botch others, but the children will survive, they and I will learn, and each time will get both easier and better.

10:44 am

jmcnrick

learning from the kids and not expecting perfection sounds great to me

10:44 am

stidmama

I dread interactions with the college faculty. really should have tried to transfer to the other local college. But, here I am, and I will do my best.

10:45 am

stidmama

I read about shady as I was booting up this morning.

10:45 am

JBV

yes, jmc, that's the winning attitude - that's what makes a great teacher - the give and take with the kids

10:46 am

jmcnrick

progress was made with shandy

10:46 am

jmcnrick

that is what made my mother a great teacher (not so hot as a mother)

10:46 am

crosshair

i read of a prof who told his students on day one that he would place an error in his lessons each day,and it was up to them to find it.they ended up paying rapt attention to the lessons just to catch the prof!! was great!!'

10:46 am

jmcnrick

<==still trying to imagine ru drinking a volvo

10:46 am

jmcnrick

what a good idea crossy

10:46 am

stidmama

oh! oops. *sits in PB* I found the word, didn't see it in the grid and put it in the chog earlier... *sigh*

10:47 am

i though it was brilliant:)

10:47 am

smooth_pappa

I noticed stid... I wasn't going to say anything, though ;)

10:47 am

jmcnrick

my son had a teacher that gave point if you caught her in grammatical errors poor thing

10:47 am

JBV

stid, I used to give each student a pink eraser on day 1 to remind them that we all make mistakes and the important thing is to learn from them

10:48 am

jmcnrick

she did not anticipate a student whose whole family caught each others grammatical errors

10:48 am

Erda

Don't flog yourself, stidmama -- things happen!

10:48 am

last year, I gave out gold stars when students helped me learn ... that really surprised them! (funny how much 8th graders can enjoy stickers and stars...)

hi foo

12:27 pm

hootowl

just use the pi7

12:27 pm

kje

yay hoot!

12:27 pm

crosshair

remember folks,the kindle DOES NOT accept e-pub files and uses a proprietary file formatt

12:27 pm

hootowl

Really? I don't think he even considered the Nook except in passing.

12:27 pm

kje

ty, got it

12:28 pm

hootowl

ty kje

12:28 pm

crosshair

i use the nook and the wife uses sony

12:28 pm

brid

the nook and the sony are both "better sharers" in terms of file types they use. when you download ebooks from amazon they're generally in a special kindle-y format. as opposed to the e-pub ones.

12:28 pm

brid

yeah

12:28 pm

cybernan

me, a Scot, and missed the ha 6!

12:28 pm

hootowl

ahah - I'll tell him that.

12:28 pm

kje

ty cyber

12:28 pm

m9f9l

LOL nan!

12:28 pm

m9f9l

I'd gladly miss it!

12:28 pm

brid

keep in mind that all 3 that you mentioned are primarily e-readers, and not WEB BROWSERS or anything else.

12:28 pm

crosshair

and all libraries will be using e-pub as their preferred file

12:29 pm

crosshair

mine will browse,but i bought it to read

12:29 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

ooh, yeah, ta for that clue, cybernan! ha!

12:29 pm

cybernan

me too m9 -- ghastly tasting stuff

12:29 pm

brid

they'll all sorta kinda do little bits and pieces of that stuff. But are very limited. will do less than your phone, really.

12:29 pm

kje

personally, I would go with the iPad... can do what the kindle/nook does plus lots more

12:29 pm

Nancy Boy

hi, for a bit - trying to sleep but it's just way too hot here.

12:29 pm

hootowl

That's all he wants it for I think. He's been using his notebook for reading and it died this week.

12:29 pm

crosshair

fistly and foremostly..they are a reader,if you want a phone or computer,get something else

12:29 pm

featherbee

crossy, our barnes and noble had a few nooks on display to try out. i really didn't like how the page flashed in negative before going to the next page. does the sony do that?

12:30 pm

MizHoffle

but if cost is an issue...

12:30 pm

m9f9l

speaking of libraries and books, just reminding you of the book recommendation i put on my profile.

12:30 pm

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

yeah, I have an iPhone and got an iPad recently, loving the iPad!!

12:30 pm

kje

phantom hangup

12:30 pm

brid

i love my nook. i like that it's light weight and not back lit.

12:30 pm

crosshair

fartherbee,they stop that with the available update file

12:30 pm

hootowl

NOT my phone! Tracphone and IS only a phone!

12:30 pm

brid

but the ipad will do all the bells and whistles. books and computer, etc. if you want to pay more and get more.

12:30 pm

featherbee

oh good! i'd go into a migraine after a while with that i was afraid

12:30 pm

hootowl

oboy another choice.

12:30 pm

kje

welcome to the grid, boob

12:31 pm

crosshair

but that is my choice,since the sony 700 is no longer available,buy the nook

12:31 pm

featherbee

thanks kje! nice move, btw.

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

and the people are trying to get a petition together to keep the dog alive!

1:03 pm

EspritdJean

is the dog gone to the bad Dog Place?

1:03 pm

EspritdJean

that answers that question!

1:03 pm

he's in dog jail but the owners are lobbying like crazy!

1:03 pm

EspritdJean

is the dob still impounded?

1:04 pm

EspritdJean

dog

1:04 pm

rubyfoo

yes, thank God. I think the local grandmas would burn their house down or at least go after the owners with their pitchforks

1:04 pm

EspritdJean

are they gaining any local support?

1:04 pm

rubyfoo

I hope not and we haven't dropped the official complaint. It is, however, up to the mayor to decide

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

and she said that she is ashamed that such a thing could happen in "her" village

1:05 pm

EspritdJean

I'm surprised there is even a debate

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

in the US I think that once it was determined that the dog wasn't rabid, they would have put it down immediately!

1:18 pm

garyandjulie

yw and dont forget grated nutmeg over the top ;o)

1:18 pm

rubyfoo

this has been a good fruit year for currants, cassis, raspberries, cherries and blackberries. And MAYBE there'll be figs, but the first batch all fell off in May

1:19 pm

rubyfoo

and can you make ha6 gandj?

1:19 pm

Scrabbler

I have picked many raspberries, black raspberries + blackberries in the park this summer.

1:19 pm

1:20 pm

Scrabbler

TY for the clue

1:20 pm

rubyfoo

what are black raspberries?

1:20 pm

garyandjulie

never made it but looks simple enough as long as youve got the casing i guess, not squeamish me

1:20 pm

rubyfoo

I am a bit far north for figs, but they're in the best spot in the garden, against a wall and with a southern exposure

1:20 pm

Scrabbler

Maybe I am picking 2 variants of blackberries.

1:51 pm

ChampFit

Me too! :) But really, what is hurling?

GÐµÐ¾Ð³gÐµ

1:52 pm

Hurling is a national game here. Its a bit like hockey, but a whole lot more skillful. It dates back about 1,100 years.

1:53 pm

ChampFit

Think soccer except everyone is running around the fe

1:55 pm

doseffing

think soccer but everyone is running around the field with baseball bats trying to smash the ball into a goal

1:56 pm

ChampFit

that sounds like it could be hurtful!

1:56 pm

Soodlebum

Yup. Thats about it, Dose. But it is a fascinating game (as an observer). As a player, it can be a bit daunting.

1:57 pm

Soodlebum

Anybody heard from Zoozoom or shdybr8 today? Both were feeling very down over the last couple of days...

1:58 pm

doseffing

Did you ever see the opening shots from THE WIDE WORLD OF SPORT on ABC television ... two guys sandwiched some enthusiasts head with their elbows while running at him at full tilt ... the guy just buckled ...

1:58 pm

ChampFit

not today, but I was only on briefly this a.m.

2:03 pm

Soodlebum

Doseffing - just read your profile. WTG!!!!!

2:05 pm

Soodlebum

2:06 pm

ChampFit

Silly! We're just trying to do the grid!

2:06 pm

Soodlebum

Thanks Champ :-)

2:06 pm

doseffing

Thanks ... but while I can really make it sound miserable and challenging and brave ... there were some many people in the oncology ward who were so much more challenged than me that I can't take too much credit ... you don't know how good you've got it until you watch a woman in the chair next to you taking chemotherapy while her eight and nine year old kids are playing on the floor around you and you know that she's not going to make it ...

2:09 pm

Soodlebum

Well, thats puts things into perspective, Doseffing. You painted a very graphic picture there... but at the same time, you were facing a very tough time yourself. Fair play to you for seeing what others were facing. {{{{Doseffing}}}}

2:11 pm

doseffing

again ... thanks ...

2:12 pm

Soodlebum

Thank YOU doseffing.

2:52 pm

ChampFit

no joke! there's a full and half marathon on a beach in south texas. main problem there is you're into the wind one way, and with it the other, so one half bites no matter what!

2:55 pm

ChampFit

yesterday our half-m,arathoners did their first 5K. Their coach gave out little medals. They were thrilled! You forget how exciting everything is when you're new.

2:55 pm

sammysmom

come on stidg... i always make the 4 gallon pot.... and if i'm lucky have some to freeze for lunches..

2:56 pm

redturtlehead

Oooh how sweet. I spent the day trying to get over the fact that my race was not chip timed and they somehow recorded my time 1and 1.2 min slower that their own time clock!

2:56 pm

redturtlehead

2:56 pm
