I'll keep it for later Ata.
3:47 am
Sally-catlover
Ata, I've been watching (for the first time) the repeats of Dr Who in iPlayer, with David Tennant. Someone (you?) said to watch them if the opportunity came up, and he's very good isn't he. I like Billie Piper too, such a lovely smile.
3:48 am
Atalante
probably me or lynx or fm
3:48 am
Haz1558
It won't have been me.
3:48 am

The joys of sitting in bed watching on my iPad!!

I've also discovered the joys of Shaun the Sheep, so am now a farming expert :-)
3:50 am

I don't think it translates too well into English either ruby

Hi zoozz. Another Shaun the Sheep fan?
3:52 am

I watch TV in bed at night, as it's the only place warm enough
3:52 am
Haz1558
Sheep are strange creatures. They're either very much alive and healthy or dead. We hear constantly about sheep in the lambing season and then nothing for the rest of the year.
3:53 am
zoozzoom
i have only seen, a few, that & bananas in pyjamas..lol
3:53 am
Sally-catlover
A bit like chickens, can be running around one minute, then zap!
3:53 am
Haz1558
Exactly, Sally. They don't linger, put it that way.
3:53 am
Atalante
and they smell bad when dead
3:54 am
Sally-catlover
I don't know bananas in pyjamas! Shaun the Sheep is I assume being repeated, I have been watching them on iPlayer.
3:54 am
Sally-catlover
Although I do have a poorly hen that I keep thinking will be dead by morning, and out she comes, straight to the drinker and feeder ...

4:17 am
Sally-catlover
lol haz, I did wonder because I am finding it a hard one.
4:18 am
Haz1558
It's got some very strange words.
4:19 am
Atalante
very funny inceident the other day
4:19 am

hobbit met a hamster
4:19 am
Haz1558
What fun - the pi5/16 is a Russian pie. mkg will be thrilled. She's very keen on foreign words.
4:19 am
Atalante
guess who was more traumatised?
4:19 am
Sally-catlover
Just looking for that one atm, Haz.
4:19 am
Haz1558
Hobbit. Hamsters are fearless.
4:20 am
Atalante
she barked at it and ran away
4:20 am
Haz1558
And qu5/20 is the Peruvian version of a knotted handkerchief. I rest my case.
4:20 am

the hamster remained asleep
4:21 am

gu7/44 - because some are more saliva-challenged than others.
4:23 am
Sally-catlover
You're kidding? Rushes off to try.
4:23 am
Haz1558
I kid you not.
4:23 am
Sally-catlover
Faints. It works.
4:23 am
Haz1558
Gu4/8 - I know!
4:24 am
Haz1558
What's more, if the letters were there, you could be superlatively saliva challenged.
4:24 am
Sally-catlover
Found two others as a result of that, too, leading off the gu 4/8
4:24 am
Haz1558
LOTS of swallowing.
4:25 am
Haz1558
Anyway, I must be off to gu4/8 down some coffee with a friend. The key to this grid is to suspend disbelief and go for it!
4:25 am
Haz1558
Bye for now!
4:25 am

I got to play with lots of dogs today

Hi Josh

Ata I bought Wet dry shampoo as Gloria had stitches and couldn't be bathed but she needed it as she was so grotty.
4:58 am
Sally-catlover
What were the stitches for herin? Just the usual snippety-snip or had she been in an accident?
4:58 am

She had dags on her butt. So she got a bit of a bad hair cut but it is done. I did it and she seemed so light.

5:37 am
jmcnrick
sorry haven't heard about it
5:37 am
jmcnrick
should i google it?
5:38 am
herinfernallady
Sorry I was actually watching friends on tv
5:38 am
Atalante
she's been at some rally for abandoning the don't ask don't tell policy. saying that prejudiced soldiers should be sent home, not gay ones
5:38 am
jmcnrick
i like the group she is working with
5:38 am
alembick
good for her
5:39 am
herinfernallady
I like that Idea Ata
5:39 am
jmcnrick
the service members legal defense network was founded to monitor DADT
5:39 am
jmcnrick
they refer people to us but are somewhat baffled by our attitude that a less than wonderful discharge is better than no discharge
5:40 am
Atalante
good, I was hoping it would be a positive thing - you know how celebrity endorsement can backfire sometimes!
5:40 am
jmcnrick
i tried that one alem
5:40 am
jmcnrick
well I am not sure that it will affect things one way or another
5:40 am
alembick
tx jmcnrick. forgot to click back in the other spot. sorry everyone
5:40 am
Atalante
well true, ok, at least not a negative effect!
5:41 am
jmcnrick
most younger people are indifferent to other peoples sexual preference and do get what the deal is
5:41 am
jmcnrick
and the policy is on its way out within a year or less no matter what
5:42 am
jmcnrick
np alem i do that all the time!

5:43 am
jmcnrick

5:43 am
jmcnrick
it was a president proclamation by clinton
5:44 am
jmcnrick
let me see if i can still find the link
5:44 am
jmcnrick

we had another family craziness issue... my father, who claims to have a cordial relation with my sister, had not spoken to her for a year.
6:10 am
sprite
day before her birthday he just came by, to congratulate her, talked only about himself and left again.
6:10 am
herinfernallady
YAH hit a trifector. 3 Cats in a row now adopted
6:10 am
sprite
she was totally flabbergasted!
6:10 am
NonnieLight
Sounds sort of like my father, sprite!
6:11 am
herinfernallady
Wow Sprite
6:11 am
sprite
my psychiatrist says, from his letters and behaviour, that he has a narcissistic personality disorder. I think she is right!
Nonnie, don't they just make us stare at them and wonder?
6:12 am
sprite
no explanation for ignoring her for a year, AND his grandchildren... the man is mad.
6:13 am
NonnieLight
Yep. I'm continually dreading the things he may say or do and thing shake my head in amazement when he does those things.
6:13 am
NonnieLight
How many kids bros and sisters in your family, sprite?
6:14 am
sprite
I have kicked him out of my life for years, am now back to corresponding... but seriously considering cutting him off again. This will never get any better.

Sprite you need to do what is best for you and your health and your family
6:16 am

That has to make is so very difficult. There were 6 of us and I am the one who is "on the list" in my father's book.
6:16 am

good morning all....
6:16 am
NonnieLight
hello carlee
6:17 am

ok...u know a grid is bad when u stare at it for a moment or two and u see NOTHING
6:17 am
herinfernallady
Hi Carlee.
6:17 am
herinfernallady
Sprite have you seen Gloria with hair?
6:17 am
carleekat
oh..there is a word...who KNEW?!?!?!?!
6:17 am
sprite
yeah, being on the list isn't such a great thing. Especially not when he still is able to make you dread his behaviour. My sister didn't like this at all.
6:17 am
sprite
also cute, but very very furry
6:18 am
sprite
lol carlee, true!

morning all! left row done
6:19 am
dan2bit
er column
6:19 am
NonnieLight
I agree with you. My father is 80. He is in therapy, group and individual and I see no progress. In fact he denies the things he does and says. The best people like us can do, sprite, is protect ourselves and our children. In other words, learn to realize it is them with the disorder and not us! Good luck to you, sprite.
6:19 am
herinfernallady
Hi Dan
6:19 am
sprite
wow dan2bit, you are on a roll! :D
6:19 am

good morning dan :o)

6:20 am

and to you too, Nonnie. It is hard to realise you are the healthy one, isn't it, while all your life you have learned you were the one in the wrong. But we can and will learn.
6:20 am
carleekat
i have the left column done now too...
6:20 am
sprite
I like you doing it, dan2, and making me smile :)
6:20 am

took longer then dan tho
6:21 am
carleekat
its a horrible feeling that sprite..been there...done that....growing up with my relationship with my dad..then 20 years with my husband
6:21 am
NonnieLight
It is difficult. I am at 54 trying to break "old habits". :o)
6:21 am
herinfernallady
I had a fantastic day knowing that my cuddle mutt is going to a good home
6:22 am
NonnieLight
(((carlee))) I feel for you!
6:22 am
sprite
before my father left my sister's house, he managed to get out a disparaging remark on my letters. He really has not changed a bit in the last 14 years.
6:22 am
carleekat
its why i quit my job at the lawyers...it was "too soon" having to deal with that shit yet again...even though i was familiar...it just hit too close to the core to be healthy at this point in my life
6:23 am
sprite
oh carlee, how awful. Must be a tough job, getting yourself back together after that.
6:23 am
sprite
*hugs the lady* Am happy you are so happy, hun.
6:23 am
carleekat
its called suck it up sprite....too many good things in my life to worry about the bad
6:24 am
NonnieLight
I am surprised he showed in person but then again, that would fit into the "me me me" syndrome he suffers from, I suppose.
6:24 am
sprite
Nonnie, I am 44 and it sucks. But I am positive we will make it. Because we are the ones learning, changing and healing. We are in charge.
6:25 am
carleekat
i find myself falling into that now...and i have to constantly "check"myself as i was denied "me" for so long and "me" is a really nice feeling...could become addictive
6:25 am
sprite
it is the me-me-me thing, and his need to have a perfect self-image, and his conviction he is a gift to mankind, and therefore my sister is supposed to be forever grateful he actually CAME!
6:25 am
herinfernallady
I ahve a moto Don';t like me for who I am stuff you. Also if you can't love me for who I am same applies even if they are a parent and that I can only imagine hurts
6:25 am
NonnieLight
Yes, we are! You know I try to focus on the example we set for our children and hope that from something terrible some good will come from it.
6:26 am
carleekat
and its hard sprite....but each time you do that...you feel a little bit better and each time gets a little easier
6:27 am
sprite
carlee, coming from the 'me? who do you mean', you don't really run the risk of becoming 'me-me-me'. You may manage to get there for a while, but like the pendulum of a clock, you will move back a bit and find more balanve.
6:27 am
sprite
balance* even
6:27 am
NonnieLight
It does herin. That "parent-child" relationship is such a tricky one.
6:28 am
carleekat
i rather avoid the swing at all sprite...cus being on the receiving end of me feels like shit....i dont want to make someoneelse be on that receiving end
6:28 am
sprite
the parents are the ones who built in all the triggers... of guilt, of shame, name it. So they are the ones who can trigger us the best, alas.
6:30 am
sprite
I know what you mean, carlee. But I really think you don't have to worry. Like me, you are probably very sensitive to the ME thing, and when you think you are too much involved with yourself, you probably aren't. Just getting in the realm of 'enough me'.
6:30 am
NonnieLight
It has been nice chatting with you ladies. Sprite, take care and I hope you and your sister stay strong and support one another through this. Carlee, you hang in there. I have to head to work and if I sit here much longer I'll be late one more time! Bye bye

awww sweetie, get rid of those bugs, you need to be radiantly healthy soon!
7:07 am
EvaNadine
eh, just allergies, methinks. the weather here is still fighting the start of fall, so the temp has been a bit roller-coaster-y...
it was 58F as i walked to the bus this morning, but it will be a high of about 90 tomorrow!
7:07 am
sprite
ouch, unhealthy weather. Well, quit being allergic then. no sniffles allowed!
7:08 am
EvaNadine
heh, i shall try. ;)
7:10 am
EvaNadine
trying to be oh-so-good and not pick at my nails or my spots too much. its an unconscious habit regularly, but dear fiance has pointed out that i have been doing so more than usual lately!
7:11 am
sprite
bandages. I recommand bandages. All around the fingers, all around the face. The mummy look is good to keep from picking.
7:11 am
sprite
recommend*!
7:11 am
EvaNadine
hah, not a bad idea. if i cant reach the skin, i cant ruin it!
7:12 am
EvaNadine
and finally, i have a prescription from the Dr for the rashes on my ankles. only been using a few days, but it seems to be helping!
7:12 am
sprite
oh great, EvaN!
7:13 am
EvaNadine
keeping my fingers crossed that this does the trick.
so far it hast improved the LOOK of the rash, but it hasnt itched since i have started using it, so hopefully the appearance will fade away...
7:14 am
sprite
usually, getting rid of the itch is the hardest part. Sounds like you have a good med.
7:14 am

i hope so!

7:17 am
herinfernallady
Bio Oil is good for skin healing so is Shea butter
7:17 am
EvaNadine
yes, we are hoping so, red!
7:17 am
herinfernallady
Arnica is good for healing (but can dry out skin)
7:17 am
redturtlehead
Hi Annie!!
7:17 am
sprite
Tea Tree oil too, but I think I'd stick to the prescription.
7:18 am
herinfernallady
I meant after the doc drugs are done. They bring down healing.
7:18 am
herinfernallady
um scaring
7:18 am
EvaNadine
yes, i tried a few OTC ideas, and none helped. doc did a biopsy (finally got my stitches out) and this is her course of action...
7:18 am
herinfernallady
um redness (don't mind me my brain is dead)
7:19 am
herinfernallady
What did you do Eva?
7:20 am

dear fiance is actually good about cleaning the house (he usually does the dishes and laundry, vaccuuming and tidying) but he NEVER cleans the loo, despite making most of the mess in it.
hopefully this little thing lives up to its promise!

Can i borrow him Eva. i have a domestic challenged partner
7:36 am
EvaNadine
heh
he used to be rather domestic-challenged. when i first moved in with him, i was more the cleaner, as it was like moving into a frat house.
but somewhere along the way, he became addicted to the cleanliness i provided -- and when i got lazy and stopped picking up after him, he started doing it himself! now im kinda the lazy useless one... eep!

alabaster is doing well in his home, and even deals gracefully with the four-year-old

i'd had jasper since 93, and feldsy predates him, though both short hairs, and her hair easily vacuums/wipes off everything

3:06 pm
Kazzer99
washing clothes for 10 days for 3 people is urgh

3:06 pm
jmcnrick

3:07 pm
Kazzer99

3:07 pm
jmcnrick
my hubby did it until he died and i have had a housekeeper for whom it is the principal thing I ask her to do
3:07 pm
Kazzer99
but all together its gross - 20 pais of socks that we have been walking miles in - pooo
3:08 pm
jmcnrick
*puts clothes pin on nose*
3:09 pm

3:35 pm

3:35 pm
jmcnrick
I hate august and september
3:36 pm
Jellen
Bad fundraising months?
3:36 pm
Jellen
Hi, lynxxx!
3:36 pm
jmcnrick
lol i assure you on tuesdays when i work out in the morning before work those stairs are extra tall!
3:36 pm
jmcnrick
hi lynxxx
3:36 pm
jmcnrick
very bad -- no one contributes in august and very few in september
3:38 pm
Jellen
I guess that makes sense...
3:39 pm
jmcnrick
on vacation and going back to school is part of it
3:39 pm
Jellen
I would guess most donations come in December, don't they?
3:39 pm
jmcnrick
for others it is because they are dependent on the people who are on vacation or going back to school and they don't have any extra themselves
3:40 pm
jmcnrick
December/January with another flurry around tax day
3:41 pm
jmcnrick
and during elections there is less -- especially presidential elections
3:42 pm
jmcnrick
it was a lot easier raising money by working for it and get paid
3:44 pm
Jellen
Sober thoughts...
3:44 pm
jmcnrick
sorry don't mean to be a downer
3:45 pm
jmcnrick

3:45 pm
lynxxx
no, really, you don't have to go that far
3:45 pm
jmcnrick
not a problem I appreciate people listening to me whine!
3:46 pm
jmcnrick
*leaps a few times*
3:46 pm
Jellen
Don't hurt yourself!
3:46 pm
Jellen
*no room to leap anywhere in my house*
3:46 pm
jmcnrick
*blows hard* well that is probably enough of that!
3:47 pm
jmcnrick
*curtsies and sits down*
3:47 pm
Jellen
Bravo, bravo!
3:48 pm

5:29 pm
jacq

5:29 pm
cosdem
lol enjoy!
5:30 pm
jacq
the salad recipe sounds delicious west, ty have copied it
5:30 pm
westford
I have never attempted to bone my own chicken do you do it when it's raw?
5:30 pm
cosdem
wow that does sound good.. im printing it!
5:30 pm
westford
I know you'll enjoy it jacq
5:31 pm
jacq
not tonight, tonight i cooked it, but usually yes, i have an old boning knife and it's been sharpened so many times the blade is super thin
5:31 pm
cosdem
thanks for sharing!
5:31 pm
jacq
i've had the knife since i was 17 and stabbed myself in the arm accidentally with it
5:32 pm
jacq
i can't say the chicken looks pretty when i'm done but it saves me getting bored lol
5:32 pm
westford
yw thank jacq for mentioning chicken
5:32 pm
westford
jacq do you make soup with the bones?
5:33 pm
jacq
yes, always, usually proper broth with pulses but sometimes just a vegetable soup
5:33 pm
jacq
i was told i cook the old fashioned way, i always use bones for stock making
5:34 pm
westford
home made soup it the best
5:34 pm
jacq
i don't eat any other kind of soup, only ever home made
5:35 pm
cosdem
i once made veggie soup..ended up too thick so i made it into stew instead
5:35 pm
westford
my mother always made her own soup I still can't get mine to taste like hers
5:35 pm
westford
there you go cos
5:35 pm
jacq
no soup ever tastes like mums soup
5:35 pm
cosdem
love my crockpot
5:36 pm
cosdem
i keep trying to make my grandma's recipes.. i follow it to the detail but its never as good..
5:36 pm
westford
I think they always added a cup of love
5:37 pm
cosdem
even when she had alzheimers late stage she would still make it perfectly
5:37 pm
westford
I wonder if Campbell's is listening in
5:38 pm
westford
oh that's so encouraging cos
5:39 pm
jacq
if they don't add some knuckle and a bit of finger too lol
5:39 pm
jacq
i think the meat and veggies they used were tastier, not messed about with
5:39 pm
westford
you're right about that jacq and so much of it home grown
5:40 pm
jacq
no steroids in the meat and few antibiotics, not so many pesticides and not forced veggies
5:49 pm
westford
everything was local now they have to produce in such quantity and keep things from going bad
5:50 pm
westford
so many of the small family owned farms are going down the tubes
5:55 pm
jacq
unfortunately it is the curse of becoming a global market, we are too dependant on other countries when we should be encouraging farmers to produce good quality produce on local level, we are so interconnected that a bad harvest in one country affects everyone everywhere, just like the economy
5:55 pm
westford
truer words were never spoken
5:55 pm
jacq
history repeats itself, just look at the roman empire
5:56 pm
jacq
wow almost midnight here, time for bed, have fun and fireworks everyone

stidmama
sorry I disappeared. elder stidkid is upset that I reminded him that he is NOT to be on the computer during the week unless he is doing schoolwork... He seems to think that continuing to do what he did last year will magically begin actually working. Facebook is NOT his friend!
9:53 pm
Pinikula
uh oh...
9:54 pm
Pinikula
magic occurred in Merlin's day, not sure it works today unless you live in Las Vegas :)
9:54 pm
Minveryork
Hi stidmama! How are you? Welcome back to the grid
9:54 pm

9:55 pm
Pinikula
(sorry stidkid)
9:55 pm
Pinikula
it too shall pass, stid ;)

9:56 pm

How old is your elder stidkid Stidmama? I have nieces who are on FB and I believe they are too young for it
9:57 pm
Minveryork
fi8/75:a compound word. Do you want more of a clue
9:57 pm
Pinikula
yes, jellen ;)
9:57 pm
Jellen
No, thanks, just figured it out!
9:57 pm
stidmama
yes. it shall pass when he is living in some dank basement apartment with NO cable TV or internet and he has to eat top ramen because there are two more weeks until he gets his paycheck. *sigh*
9:58 pm
Pinikula
that's where they live and learn, stid...and 'we' make it though...
9:58 pm
Pinikula
(i.e., been there, done that, and my dau is doing well now)
9:58 pm
stidmama
elder stidkid is not mature enough to make wise choices about schoolwork vs. online fun... old enough to refuse to let his parents have information about the college classes he takes, young enough to have NO idea about how the real world works, etc. etc. etc.
9:59 pm
stidmama
thanks pini.
10:00 pm
