Hello everyone
2:05 am
jhb
Been away - working on the soup again. Only have 16 - woe is me.
2:06 am
Christine
Hello, Lynxxx.
2:06 am
Christine
What kind of soup, today?
2:08 am
jhb
Vegetable - chicken stock, potatoes, onions and leeks sweated in butter with paprika, celery, pumpkin all blended together once coioked and served with a dollop of blue cheese and crusty French bread. Coming over? There's plenty.
2:10 am
jhb
Forgot also added some mushrooms and tomatoes. My kids always called this cleaning out the fridge soup.
2:11 am
jhb
That was me saying hi.
2:11 am
Christine
On my way.
2:11 am
jhb
Goody - look forward to seeing you.
2:12 am
Christine
Tried to call the kid sister, today, but she was out. Try again on Monday.
2:13 am
Christine
I ordered grilled salmon today, and they added a bowl of chicken curry - I guess I look as though I need feeding.
2:13 am
saintfranny
mmmm jhb - i'll be right over!
2:14 am
jhb
I spoke with her last weekend in between her doing the laundry. Now off to have soup - contented small Tibetan Spaniel eating rump steak - cintented elderly lady having soup.
2:14 am
jhb
hi saintfranny - plenty for everyone. I still forget that I am cooking for one 12 years after my darling died.
2:15 am
saintfranny
aww, am sorry to hear jhb. Yes - i understand that tho
2:18 am
jhb
Christine and saint franny - My friend Carol says that what I make is French Farmhouse, add whatever is around each day and I never know what it's going to turn out like. Just put some couscous in today's soup.
2:21 am
Christine
Sounds good.
2:21 am
Christine
Hello, Marigold
2:22 am

When we were little, we had a book called Marigold and Dandelion, about two little cousina - do you remember, jhb ??

hi Marigold
2:24 am
marigold
No I do not remember that back
2:27 am

Sorry, I meant the question for jhb - she's my sister, and we're very close in age, so we shared a our books and things.
2:31 am
jhb
Hi Christine - that's not one of the books I remember. Have finsihed my soup - mmm. Now giving up on this puzzle for tonight. NCIS has just come on the TV and it's my favourite. Goodnight. There's time for me to come back to this in the morning.
2:35 am

Good morning ruby, and everyone.
4:24 am

good morning Ruby and everyone else
4:26 am
rubyfoo
hello sally and donna and lynxx if you're still here
4:26 am
rubyfoo
all that talk of soup is almost making me hungry --I wish
4:26 am
Sally-catlover
Well I haven't long finished a late breakfast - croissants and apricot jam.
4:27 am
rubyfoo
homemade jam, sally?
4:28 am
Sally-catlover
Sadly no. I have finished all my home-made apricot, and not made any this year, but we buy Bonne Maman which is lovely. Plenty of home-made marmalade left though! It would be a matter for divorce or murder if Other Half ran out of home-made marmalade I think:-)
4:31 am
rubyfoo
hahah. Happily, husband likes Bonne Maman apricot, too; He eats it with his yoghurt in the AM. Our apricot tree died without ever producing one fruit; I think it's too cold here. The only homemade ones are red currants (I don't like cassis), blackberries and plums
4:32 am
Sally-catlover
Actually we eat so little jam it probably isn't worth making, although I do love apricot jam. Also love bramble jelly (made with blackberries if that doesn't translate!). I have not made so much jam in the last couple of years, but I do make vast quantities of marmalade in January when the Seville oranges are in.
4:32 am
FMitch
Morning all
I like Bonne Maman too.
4:33 am
Sally-catlover
Good morning FM. Shall I warm a croissant for you?
4:33 am
rubyfoo
my favorite commercial jam is "generic" Carrefour brand Reines Claude
4:34 am
Sally-catlover
You got the spelling of "favourite" wrong :-)))
4:34 am
rubyfoo
Sunday is our "full English breakfast" day - sausage, eggs, cottage cheese, etc, and then I'm supposed to eat lunch at noon
4:34 am
FMitch
OH lovely idea but no thanks Sally had breakfast not that long ago.
4:34 am
Sally-catlover
I hate to tell you this, but cottage cheese does not normally feature in a Full English.
4:34 am
FMitch
Where does cottage cheese fit into a full English ?
4:35 am
rubyfoo
when I type e-mails, since I have an English keyboard, it corrects favor, labor, etc to the {correct} English way
4:35 am
rubyfoo
no idea....husband just likes it
4:35 am
Sally-catlover
Perhaps it's a full American, FM?
4:36 am
FMitch
It makes for a full Mr ruby :)
4:36 am
Sally-catlover
How do you have the cottage cheese, on the plate with all the bacon and eggs and so on? Or on the side?
4:36 am
rubyfoo
no, full American would be brown and serve sausages, home fries, eggs and grits! or pancakes
4:36 am
rubyfoo
he smushes it together, disgusting!
4:37 am
Sally-catlover
I need a US-English dictionary here. What are "brown and serve" sausages?
4:37 am
FMitch
ewww, spare me the details. Never really got to grips with cottage cheese.
4:37 am
Sally-catlover
I can't stand cottage cheese, makes me throw up (literally). My excuse for not going on a diet.
4:37 am
rubyfoo
they are delicious tiny pork sausages, unavailable in Europe, I think. We buy Swiss St. Gallen veal sausages
4:38 am
rubyfoo
is cottage cheese good for the diet? My son keeps saying that I eat too much dairy
4:38 am
Sally-catlover
Not wishing to start a war here, but I would not buy veal anything in France, would not buy veal unless I knew it was farm reared and not milk fed.
4:38 am
FMitch
It is only good for a diet if that is all you eat *shudder*
4:39 am
FMitch
By the way ruby, I expect you to get fireworks today.
4:39 am
Sally-catlover
However, knowing how these things can get out of hand, let's just change the subject! Ruby, if ever you make it to Shropshire I will cook you a proper full English breakfast.
4:39 am
rubyfoo
I agree with you, but once I start arguing about what he likes to eat, I think I'll lose the war. I agree with you about veal but, hopefully, the Swiss are more humane
4:40 am
rubyfoo
I think Americans are the worst about veal and chicken!
4:41 am
Sally-catlover
I keep chickens as you know. I am very brave now and when I go into a butchers, or have a meal out, I always ask if the chicken is free range. If it isn't, I don't order it.
4:41 am
FMitch
oh I haven't had a fry up for years *drool* Looks to see how far Shropshire is from me.
4:41 am
Sally-catlover
Luckily Ludlow is renowned for its butchers.
4:41 am
Sally-catlover
You would be welcome any time FM.
4:41 am
rubyfoo
the ones I cook are free-range, farmer and bio, if the butchers and the labelling can be trusted!
4:42 am
FMitch
Thank you :)
ruby - did you see my post at 4.39?
4:42 am
rubyfoo
sally, having read "Eating Animals", I have gotten to the point where I eat hardly any meat any more
4:42 am
Sally-catlover
Home-cured bacon, Berkshire Black sausages, free-range eggs, tomatoes, toast made with home-made bread, home-made marmalade ...
4:42 am
rubyfoo
just saw it now, FM, missed it the first time whilst trying not to make Sally mad at me.
4:43 am
FMitch
Stop it I am drooling all over the keyboard.
4:43 am
Sally-catlover
Hey, I'm not made at you ruby!!
4:43 am
rubyfoo
I love black sausages, but if I cook them for me, husband won't even sit at the table
4:43 am
herinfernallady
Hi
4:43 am
Sally-catlover
!! Or even mad!!
4:43 am
rubyfoo
thank you sally {{sally}}
4:43 am
Sally-catlover
Black sausages? Is that black pudding?
4:43 am
FMitch
For a small grid it is very fast.
Hi herin, hows the holiday going?
4:43 am
herinfernallady
Howdy
4:44 am
Sally-catlover
Not talking about black pudding. Berkshire Black is a breed of pig. Very tasty.
4:44 am
rubyfoo
BTW, the washing machine repairman lied and there is water every place today!
4:44 am
rubyfoo
oh, I thought you meant blood sausage
4:44 am
Sally-catlover
Oh no ruby! Have you already paid him?
4:44 am
herinfernallady
I just had wallaby sausage
4:45 am
rubyfoo
it means more arguing on the telephone on Monday, and yes, I've paid him, and all in French. My head is exploding
4:45 am
herinfernallady
As for the repair man. Tell him to get back over there now and make him pay for his time
4:45 am
rubyfoo
wallaby sausage?
4:45 am
Sally-catlover
Poor ruby. {{hugs}}
4:45 am
herinfernallady
Yep
4:46 am
rubyfoo
*poof* for now, apero for mr. Ruby
4:46 am
Sally-catlover
Is wallaby sausage good, herin?
4:46 am
herinfernallady
Yep. It was a game sausage
4:47 am
Sally-catlover
Sounds good.
4:47 am
herinfernallady
http://www.wursthauskitchen.com.au/ This is were we got it from
4:47 am
Sally-catlover
I like venison sausage. We can get that made with local venison.
4:48 am
herinfernallady
mmm yum
4:48 am
herinfernallady
Ruby the repair man should be offering his services free of charge as he clearly didn't fix the washing maching
4:54 am
FMitch
The day has warmed up and the sun is shining so I will say TTFN. Happy babbling.
4:55 am
herinfernallady

5:24 am

Still enjoying your stay with your parents, I see

YEP
5:29 am
herinfernallady
I have retreated to the bedroom away from the TV too annoying
5:29 am
sprite
does that make you sad or do you enjoy being on your own for a bit?
5:30 am
herinfernallady
I am enjoying it. I just can't bear loud noise. Dad has gone a bit deaf. He likes the sports and that drives me nuts. So i went to bed
5:31 am
sprite
I can relate to that. Can't bear loud noise either. Or sudden noise. Son dear just forgot to close his room door... twice... and twice the thing was banged shut by the draft. Am all rattled.
5:31 am
herinfernallady
Mum has been so insistent on paying for petrol when we took her out today. Didn't work though
5:32 am
sprite
hehehe good for you. Treat your mum, she is worth it.
5:32 am
herinfernallady
Erk. You need to get some of those um door mice. They wedge the door open.
5:33 am
sprite
are they automatic or does son dear have to place them manually?
5:33 am
herinfernallady
Ok they are called door wedges. We put them on the edge of the door itself
5:33 am
herinfernallady
Manual
5:33 am

Yah Donna
5:34 am

gratz donna
5:35 am
sprite
then it won't help... he will forget to place the door mice. I think I'll send him back to the factory to grow a brain ;)
5:38 am
herinfernallady
Grin Sprite. O the other thing is a more perminat sollution and that is those hydrolic door closers.
5:39 am
sprite
true, that is an option. Or I will just sit out the wait for him to grow up. He'll do fine once the hormones stop running his life for him :)
5:40 am
herinfernallady
Does he slam the door on his own in a snit?
5:41 am
sprite
yep, and stamps on the stairs, and turns on his music real loud.
5:42 am
herinfernallady
Yep you have a teenager
5:42 am
sprite
that is Tim Hide. But Tim Jackyll still hugs us, wants to cuddle, demands I sit down when I am tired and takes a job off my hands...
5:43 am
herinfernallady
awwww
5:43 am
sprite
and he just asked for money, so he could to with his girlfriend for a huge bicycle tour today and treat her to dinner tonight.
5:43 am
sprite
how many boys of 14 yo would even think of something like that?
5:44 am
herinfernallady
Awww
5:45 am
herinfernallady
The one teen kid I know we are greatful he doesn't eat the furniture and is house broken
5:45 am
sprite
they are very cute together too, holding hands, cuddling, in plain view. Amazing, that.
5:45 am
herinfernallady
awww tooo cute
5:45 am
sprite
roflol lady! Yeah, some days Tim is exactlly like that. But usually he is ok.
5:46 am
herinfernallady
Young men these days need to learn to behave like gentlemen. The kid that I am talking about we taught him manners and he now acts like a feral little pig with girls
5:46 am
herinfernallady
That also goes for the teen girls too that he knows. They are also feral
5:47 am
Lilecama

sprite
hi Lilecama
5:48 am
Lilecama
what's the grid like today?
5:48 am
herinfernallady
Sprite what scares me is they do all this and their parents know about it. I swear if that was my kid at a 16th drinking a massive bottle of alchole they would be so deaded
5:48 am
Lilecama
rues
oops
5:48 am
sprite
I think my love and I are old fashioned parents. We demand they talk to us politely. And to others even more. Fine if they disagree, but disagree politely.
5:48 am
herinfernallady
One word less for you Lil :D
5:49 am
Lilecama
not a good start! nice way of looking at it herinfernallady
5:49 am
sprite
I have tried aerie ugh times already. I keep seeing it and it just is not there!
5:49 am
herinfernallady
OMG Sprite you really are a terrible parent teaching respect and manners. (Sigh I wish there was more Sprite and Mr Sprite Parents, Kills me with the way some parents let their kids run feral)
5:49 am
sprite
blame the layout of the site, not yourself, Lil :)
5:50 am

grin, yeah, we are awful parents. But at least our kids are generally loved. And they can move in most circles without embarrassing themselves (or us).
5:52 am
herinfernallady
I told mum last night that this party these parents knew the kids were drinking. I told mum at 16 I would have been happy with the my kids having 2 cans of mixed alcohol and no more not the great amounts they were drinking. It frightned me that they could be so vulnerable to creeps.
5:53 am
sprite
one last rant and I will stop, grin... I really believe parents do their kids a disfavour by not insisting on manners, respect and courtesy. Those are great tools to have in life. And you can always decide to drop them for a bit if necessary. The other way around is not possible.
5:54 am
herinfernallady
Sprite we don't want kids though but it is nice to see that values parents taught me are being taught to the next
5:55 am
sprite
yes, the alcohol intake is frightening nowaways, for kids. The school is wise about it. They allow beer and wine for the upper classes and keep it strictly separated from the younger kids. And even the upper classes have to be moderate.
5:55 am

thanks lady *hugs*

I asked the students to "collect" multi-generation stories from their families... but a lot of the students a) didn't ask their folks for help (or tell them about the project at all) or b) the families are like mine and don't have stories that have come down through the generations.
10:52 am

SO... I am recording old folk tales on CD for the students to listen to so they can do the rest of the work for the storytelling unit.

Pinikula
<-- doesn't have stories that were passed down either
10:53 am
stidmama
I am asking a LOT of middle schoolers, using many difficult tasks...
10:53 am
Pinikula
nice backup, stid...good thinkin'
10:53 am
redturtlehead
My family did not tell passed down stories either, but we did read a lot of them, Baba yaga...and some odd Irish ones.
10:53 am
stidmama
first, they need to LISTEN and take notes (waits for experienced parents to recover from laughing); THEN they need to summarize the story, write a draft and make a sort of storyboard.
10:53 am
Nancy Boy
hi, everyone.
10:54 am
redturtlehead
Hi NB.
10:54 am
stidmama
finally, they will write the story out and decide whether to present it as a storybook or as a puppet show for their peers.
10:54 am
stidmama
Hey Nancy Boy!
10:54 am
Pinikula
what a cool idea, stid!
10:55 am
stidmama
I hope they will learn that while cultures are different, they all use stories to teach, and that it's harder to interpret a story for others than it is to just sit back and receive it.
10:55 am
Nancy Boy
Our family had quite a lot of old stories. Enough to go round a class, probably! What about the kids with no family, though?
10:55 am
Pinikula
making stale minds wakeup and imagine again!
10:55 am
stidmama
thanks pini. I have had some positive feedback from parents, and some confusion from the kids... pretty normal response, I think.
10:55 am
stidmama
that's why I am recording the stories, Nancy BOy!
10:57 am
rururocks
I was raised by wolves... so no stories here
10:57 am
Pinikula
ru, you poor thing :/
10:57 am
rururocks
carpaccio everynight for dinner.. boooooring
10:57 am
Pinikula
I think I may have been raised by ostriches...sadly they all kept their heads in the ground
10:57 am
Nancy Boy
Hiya, Ru :) I'm pretty sure most of my family stories are lies. They seem to involve a light use of dead ancestors and magic.
10:58 am
Pinikula
makes for a bit of entertainment though, right, NB?
10:58 am
rururocks
as long as you don't emu-late them pini...
10:58 am
stidmama
LOL lots of strange goings-on in families, eh?
10:59 am
stidmama
hey -- do any of you know how to eject a disc from a MAC when it doesn
10:59 am
rururocks
mine was Leave it to Beaver from Hell how bout yours?
10:59 am
stidmama
it isn't showing up as inserted in the drive?
10:59 am
Pinikula
I promise, ru!
10:59 am
stidmama
also, my last word is an M5... help?
10:59 am
Pinikula
stid...there should be a button with a triangle with a li4 under it...
10:59 am
stidmama
is there an MA I should look for, or am I going for an Mi?
11:00 am
rururocks
most of a pile of stuff.. + oh say can you **e!!!
11:00 am
rururocks
wrong clue
11:00 am
stidmama
can't be me, from the lower M
11:01 am
Pinikula

11:01 am
rururocks
most of a pile of stuff laying around + I am not far but **ar
11:01 am
redturtlehead

11:01 am
rururocks
latin talking bird stid
11:01 am
Pinikula
yeah, that's the one, ru!
11:01 am
Nancy Boy
I remember being told "The Wormwood Rice Cake" as a story featuring my family members. Weird story; the moral is that if someone shames you, you work your fingers to the bone to get revenge...
11:02 am
stidmama
that was it, just had to find the silly third vowel. THANKS!!!!
11:02 am
Pinikula
sounds interesting, NB...might have to hear about that one!
11:02 am
rururocks
I don't know that book nancy
11:02 am
redturtlehead
congrats stid!
11:02 am
stidmama
disc not showing up on the computer's system. will see if I can figure it out.
11:03 am
stidmama
I don't like revenge stories... they seem to be designed to justify making bad situations worse.
11:03 am
Nancy Boy
Korean folk story, I think! All about letting bitterness simmer ;)
11:03 am
stidmama
oh well, back to the grindstone. thanks for the help! (((hugs and choclits for all))) see you later if I can get back today. *poof*
11:03 am
rururocks
seems to be a family thing over your way..
11:03 am
redturtlehead

11:08 am
rururocks

11:08 am
Dorens
why does it piss off kj?
11:08 am
Nancy Boy

11:08 am
rururocks
I like to tease her about texas
11:09 am
Pinikula
you silly boy, NB
11:09 am
Dorens
ohhh.. i just look at it and remember davy crocket. one of the few tv shows from our early childhood. i used to watch it when i was 5 or 6
11:10 am
rururocks
I wouldn't live in texas for anything..
11:10 am
Dorens
i visited austin a couple of years ago. it was nice, but i wouldn't want to live there.
11:10 am
rururocks
I was a big cowboy fan when a kid...I had all the accoutrement
11:10 am
Nancy Boy
truly, Pini ;) especially since my se4/9s always seem to hit the wrong target. I mass-texted one once. Embarrassing..

rururocks

11:18 am
Dorens

11:18 am
rururocks
I digress more than I regress however
11:18 am
Dorens

11:18 am
Dorens

Pinikula
howdy ru (again)
11:25 am
Dorens
i have one maple out front that is changing and dropping red and yellow leaves, but the oaks will take forever, and i have zillions of tall oaks. hi pini
11:25 am
lbdawger
we're having fall in stages throughout the city. some areas are nearly done, others are just beginning
11:26 am
rururocks
Dylan is doing well.
11:26 am
Dorens
any recent pics ru?
11:26 am
lbdawger
need pics, ru!
11:26 am
Pinikula
My neighbor has a huge oak tree in the back yard at our shared fence and it drops all it's leaves on my side :(
11:26 am
Dorens
I had a beautiful fox right outside my back door friday morning, i wish it had stuck around long enough for a picture
11:26 am
rururocks
I have a roll I'm taking in to be made into a CD
11:27 am
rururocks
when I get back from San Diego
11:27 am
lbdawger
lol, that's what trees do, pini. drop their leaves on others property.
11:27 am
Dorens
oh i wish mine would
11:27 am
Pinikula
it's probably easier to move the fence than the tree...
11:28 am
lbdawger
we rake up more cottonwood and elm than maple and alder.
11:28 am
rururocks
Our Idaho Honey Locust is droppng leaves faster than the gardener can blow them
11:28 am
Pinikula
...I wonder if I could spray the darn thing with super glue and just make the leaves stay on the branches
11:28 am
rururocks
<--- wishes I hadn't planted that tree
11:28 am
lbdawger
naw, they need to shed so they can produce next spring.
11:29 am
Dorens
my "gardner" is a live-in right now, and he blows the driveway and the area around that maple every other day. The acorns are the real problem though. there are zilliions... can't sit outside for fear of getting clonked on the head. and they come withgreat speed since they are from so far up
11:29 am
lbdawger
one of my favorite trees is the horse chestnut tree. such pretty leaves in the fall. wicked "fruit" tho
11:30 am
rururocks
live -in? *curious*
11:30 am
Pinikula
I know what you mean, dorens...we have a couple of those right outside our building at work...need a helmet to walk to the building next door!
11:31 am
lbdawger
we don't sit under any of the pine trees because the squirrels like to drop cones shards down them. OWIE
11:31 am
Pinikula
maybe that's what I need is a blower...has to better than a rake and sore muscles!
11:31 am
rururocks
has anyone ever tried acorn mash like the indians ate?
11:31 am
Dorens
hah! old boyfriend from 1992 - 2003 or so. he has cleaned up his act and we've been friends for years.. now, who knows? the house he was renting got sold, and i agreed to let him back here for now
11:31 am
Pinikula
not me, ru
11:31 am
lbdawger
oooh, the thot plickens! go dorens
11:31 am
Pinikula
that's gotta suck, lbd!
11:32 am
Dorens
he doesn't drink, so more wine for me!
11:32 am
Dorens
can't bring myself to try the acorn mash, have you, ru?
11:32 am
lbdawger
it just mostly hurts if you aren't watching out for the shards...no barefootin' either
11:32 am
rururocks
I did once.. it's fairly bitter and unedible
11:32 am
lbdawger
never tried the acorn mash, ru
11:33 am
rururocks
and one other thing
11:33 am
Dorens
right, i can't go barefoot right now.. too many acorns unless he just blew within 24 hours
11:33 am
rururocks
.... it doesn't taste like chicken either...
11:33 am
lbdawger
i'm not sure i've ever eaten an acorn
11:33 am
Dorens
i did try to eat raw acorns when i was a kid... very bitter
11:33 am
Pinikula
acorns in the grass is like walking on gravel!
11:34 am
rururocks
we ate everything as kids..
11:36 am
rururocks
so.. Doren.. what did you prepare with the Rol Valentin?
11:36 am
lbdawger
had to look them up, nope, never have digested an acorn.
11:37 am
Dorens
it was a mish mash of a meal, but delicious. I made scallops with basil, garlic and lime, served over mixed baby greens and avocado.. brown rice with sauteed onions and walnuts, peruvian chicken done on rotisserie, broccoli rabe, and apple crisp for dessert
11:38 am
rururocks
you haven't squirreled some away this winter have you LBD?
11:38 am
rururocks
did you sear the scallops.. that sounds good
11:39 am
Dorens
we also had a white, but i never touched it, the st. emilion was too good
11:39 am
rururocks
Hey pamster
11:39 am
Dorens
yes.. just salt and pepper and seared... then a bit of the dressing mixed into the greens, the rest on the scallops
11:39 am
lbdawger

11:43 am
pam
I really like it. Much more than I thought I would... I was prompted by the spicy falafel i planned for dinner one night... remembered reading about shiraz paired... found a nice WS review...bingo
11:44 am
rururocks
oh.. a whole case?.. good for you.. I am sure Ted and heidi appreciate it.
11:44 am
pam

I know, I have to get over there, Dor!
11:48 am
Dorens

11:48 am
pam

11:49 am
Dorens

Exactly, Dor!

Pinikula
hiya Jellen ;)
12:54 pm
Pinikula
how's it goin'?
12:55 pm
Jellen
Oh, it's going okay...not finding this as easy as everyone last night was...
12:55 pm
Pinikula
it's not too bad; can I help?
12:56 pm
Jellen
Other than that, it's going pretty darn well!
12:56 pm
Jellen
cl 6, please?
12:56 pm
Pinikula
It's pretty slow here...cold/wet outside...and I'm not interested in spending my day just doing chores :(
12:56 pm

It's a beautiful day here...should be outside!
12:57 pm
Jellen
Thanks, Pini
12:58 pm
Pinikula
I'd rather it rain during the work week so I could enjoy the sun on my 'time off'...
12:58 pm
Jellen
I think I'm just distracted...got men issues...
12:58 pm
Jellen
Actually, just man issue...
12:58 pm
Pinikula
Anything I/we can do to help?
1:00 pm
Jellen
Not really, I've semi-consciously have been flirting with an old friend, and now he's responding and I wonder if I'm doing the right thing...
1:02 pm
Pinikula
I don't know that I'd question it, Jellen, if you like each other and fill a void in each other's lives, then I don't think you're doing anything wrong...makes sense? Wish I could flirt with someone and see where things lead...
1:03 pm
Pinikula
Besides...finding "happy" is not a bad thing :)
1:03 pm
Jellen
He knows about Tim, so I don't think that would be a big issue...
1:04 pm
Pinikula
I'm sure Tim would want you to be happy again, yes?
1:04 pm
Jellen
True, finding "happy" would be a good thing...
1:04 pm
Jellen
Yes, he would...
1:05 pm
Pinikula
...in that case, I hope to hear of regular updates on how 'happy' is coming along. * smile *
1:06 pm
Jellen
Ooh, 4 left!
1:06 pm
Pinikula
I'll be sure to do the same should it ever appear over here...
1:06 pm
Pinikula
you can do it!
1:06 pm
Jellen
Just have to look out for it...
1:07 pm
Pinikula
I'm open to it, Jellen, just been focusing more on my kids and grandkids than on myself...figuring if it's meant to be, then it will come along... know what I mean?
1:08 pm
Jellen
Yes, I understand...
1:09 pm

Oh, our talk made me feel better, as did your cllues!
1:11 pm
Pinikula
Oh, gosh...didn't realize...you're welcome...glad it helped! :)
1:13 pm
Pinikula
so, any exciting plans coming up? how's your packing going?
1:14 pm
Jellen
I was just thinking of packing...I'm moving at a snail's pace...and I've got to clean out my kitchen cabinets for the exterminators by Thursday!
1:15 pm
Pinikula
yikes! might have to increase the 15-20 minute rounds to 30-45 before taking a deserved break!
1:15 pm
Pinikula
or call in a friend...to help pass the time...
1:15 pm
Jellen
But this afternoon, I'm going to a interdenomiational choir concert...
1:15 pm
Pinikula
...even if they do nothing but chat with you while you do that deed
1:15 pm
Pinikula
that sounds like a lovely break!
1:15 pm
Jellen
And tomorrow night, I'm going to a folk concert
1:16 pm
Pinikula
<-- love folk music ;)
1:17 pm
Jellen
Tuesday's support group, Thursday's online support group and Friday is a bluegrass concert (if tickets aren't too expensive)...
1:17 pm
Jellen
It's Celtic folk music...I know the harpist...
1:17 pm
Pinikula
I need to move closer to you; however, earlier this week I learned Celtic Thunder is coming to our performing arts center in Nov.
1:18 pm

If I get a chance to go, I want to hear their traditional music not celtified pop music...
1:19 pm
Jellen
Oh, and on the 25th, I go on jury duty...
1:19 pm
Pinikula
now, THAT's a distraction, Jellen! :)

I've only started playing this 5 days ago, and I never expect to finish a puzzle because my vocabulary isn't as extensive as everyone elses
1:21 pm
Jellen
A lot of it is educated guesswork!
1:21 pm
Pinikula
Mine isn't either, grad10, but I've definitely learned a ton of words by playing!
1:22 pm
Pinikula
you will be assimilated; resistance is futile! :)

3:14 pm
Jindigo
oh - thanks Judi
3:14 pm
Gеогgе

many thanks
3:16 pm
Jindigo
CA & CL 6/21 please.
3:17 pm
Gеогgе
ca6/21 is a girl's name I think, feline start
3:19 pm
Gеогgе
cl6/21 is descriptive of the word after it I think, if you have the cl5/12 that follows? if not, starts like a place you'd get medical treatment then last two letters are short for a man's name
3:19 pm
Jindigo
TY George.
3:19 pm
Jindigo
ok - ill monkey it. I have the CA 5/12

3:21 pm
Gеогgе
yeah, it is if it helps I suppose, ha!
3:21 pm
Jindigo
LI 5/10 - the first one.
3:22 pm
Gеогgе
that one sounds like a girl's name and like the name of a vine, I think it is!?
3:22 pm
Gеогgе
whole word is like a girl's name that starts with D instead of L
3:23 pm
Jindigo
i tried every combo but that - thanks!
3:24 pm
Jindigo
got my last one by myself - FIREWORKS! Thanks for the help George.

Soodlebum
Hello everybody :-)
4:22 pm
Jellen
Hi, Soodle!
4:22 pm
Soodlebum
(((Jellen)))) How are you?
4:23 pm
Jellen
I'm good...a little excited/nervous...
4:24 pm
Soodlebum
Ooooh? what has you exited<
4:25 pm
Soodlebum
Oooh Jellen...... Looks like theres only us on line. Please tell me...
4:25 pm
Jellen
I've been kinda flirting/stalking him (he's in a band...I'm just going to gigs), and he's started to respond..
4:26 pm
Soodlebum
You know what, Jellen? You might just need a distraction right now.
4:27 pm
Jellen
So I'm nervous...
4:27 pm
Soodlebum
But, the tingle of a new possibilithy is always such a buzz.... I'm right there with you, Jell
4:27 pm
Jellen
Yes, it is...
4:27 pm
Soodlebum
So.... Is he nice?????
4:28 pm
Soodlebum
Tell me about him....
4:29 pm
Jellen
I've known him since high school...he's a drummer in a rock band, but also freelances...and he produces music for other musicians...I'm not sure if he has a studio set up or not...
4:30 pm
Jellen
He's taller than me, a little chunky, but very nice...with a wicked sense of humor...
4:30 pm
Soodlebum
And, (not trying to get personal,or anything), is there a tingle there,Jellen?
4:31 pm
Jellen
Yes, I think so...definitely a comfort-feeling...
4:31 pm
Soodlebum
Thats good. That makes me happy.
4:32 pm
Jellen
We haven't kissed yet, but he said he was going to work up the courage to next time he saw me...
4:32 pm
Soodlebum
Yee-Haw!!!
4:34 pm
Soodlebum
Jell - I have been on my own for 3 and a half years, since my husband ran away. I hooked up with a ex on Facebook some months ago, and its all good. Like your guy, Paddy makes me laugh and laugh and laugh. Its early days, but (fingers crossed) so far go good...
4:34 pm
Jellen
Oh, how exciting for you!
4:35 pm
Soodlebum
Of course, needless to say, my kids are horrified. The thought of Mam actually enjoying herself is totally alien to them. I told them to build a bridge and get over it!!
4:35 pm
Jellen
I haven't asked him one important question yet...is he allergic to cats?
4:36 pm
Jellen
lol...Mams have the right to have fun, too!
4:37 pm
Soodlebum
Jell - one day at a time. Get over the cat thing when you come to it. You just be aware that you are very vulnerable right noe. I'm not dissing this guy - but you take care, OK?
4:38 pm
Jellen
Yes, I'm trying very hard to take it slow...and I also want to be up front with him...he knows about Tim, and even met him once...
4:39 pm
Soodlebum
Life is bloody difficult. We both know that Jellen. Just take it easy, and one day at a time. ((((((Thinking bout ya,Jell))))))))))))
4:39 pm
Jellen
Thanks, Soodle!
4:40 pm
Soodlebum
((((Jellen))))
4:41 pm
Jellen
So your guy is Paddy? Mine is James...not Jim or Jimmy...
4:41 pm
Soodlebum
Jellen. I'm Irish. What else could he be called, only Paddy? James is a lovely name. Both my grandfathers were called James, so James abound in my family.
4:43 pm
Jellen
I think I have an ancestor named James that was sent to Australia in the 1800's...
4:44 pm
Soodlebum
Jell, I hadn't seen Paddy for 24 years, til yesterday. It was nervewracking.... but it turned out good in hte end. 24 years take their toll on people.....
4:45 pm
Jellen
I hadn't seen James for about the same amount of time...he used to be skinny, lol...
4:45 pm
Soodlebum
In my case...the t
4:45 pm
Jellen
Yesterday!!! Wow!
4:46 pm
Jellen
I used to be skinny, for that matter...
4:46 pm
Soodlebum
Yup. (between you and me, I'm still on a bit of a high). After our 'date' he phoned me, and said that my eyes still haunted him.... No wonder I couldn't sleep last night....
4:48 pm
Soodlebum
Hmm. Two sad middle-aged singltons chasing after their youth............
4:48 pm
Soodlebum
(Bu I'm enjoying it)
4:50 pm
Soodlebum
Jell, If I had a drink in my hand right now, I'd clink you, and say Cheers! Consider yourself Cheered'!!!!
4:50 pm
Jellen
Same to you, Soodle!
4:52 pm
Soodlebum
Jell - its almost 11.00 here. Time I hit the sack. I really enjoyed our chat, and I'll be thinking bout ya. You take care. XXX
4:52 pm
Jellen
Well, I'd best try to get a few things done...
4:52 pm
Jellen
Take care! XXX
4:52 pm
Soodlebum

Yes - Wellington New Zealand. It's supposed to be summer here - today it's down to about 38 degrees. Very chilly. So am sitting at pc at 3.30pm instead of doing all the things waiting for me.
9:31 pm
Jillyjill
That was me yesterday! But somehow house got cleaned despite babble!! It was a lovely fall day here today. We also did not have much of a summer!
9:32 pm

So where are you? I have friends in various States and have visited most of them.
9:32 pm
Jillyjill
Have you finished today's grid? If you need any clues I'll try...

Jillyjill
I'm in southwest Montana. Live in the same town with Harpjane and south of Lbdawg.
9:34 pm
Jillyjill
Nobody is hopeless, I started with getting about 20 words a grid. Now can finish small grids nightly, the bigger ones only on weekends.
9:34 pm
Jillyjill
then there's the learning curve of babble lingo
9:35 pm
Jillyjill
Hi Jellen!!
9:36 pm

Hi Jilly - all I know about Montana is that the capital is Helena. So all that expensive education wasn't wasted after all.
9:36 pm
Jillyjill
Thanks Jellen...still needing the hugs and prayers. Hubby in medical tests, but no answers yet
9:37 pm

10:09 pm
Jacula
Hi all. The more you play this game, the easier it gets. You learn all the Babblets and lots more. Putting the once weird words in first becomes the norm and you end up overlooking the easy words, so you last word found it often a stupid plural like 'lots'.

Hi Jillyjill.

Hi Jellen. I've just left you a comment on FB.
10:12 pm
Jellen
I saw it Jac, thanks...
10:13 pm
Jacula
Jellen - can I say something else here rather than on the more public FB?
10:13 pm
Jacula
Or would you prefer me to send you a private message on FB?
10:13 pm
Jellen
No, it's okay...
10:15 pm
Jellen
What I meant by my status change is that it's complicated...I'm not widowed, but I don't really feel single yet...
10:15 pm
Jacula
Oh okay, Jellen. Well, obviously I've no idea what your relationship status referred to, but if it's to do with somone who has been helping you or grieving with you... sometimes, that shared grief, because only you two know how it really feels, can be misplaced in each other's arm on each other's lips. I hope I'm not speaking out of turn by saying this.
10:16 pm
Jacula
I've probably got the wrong end of the stick!
10:17 pm
Jellen
No, you're not that far off the mark...
10:18 pm
Jacula
Jellen - I hope what I said centres you then. You're not widowed, because you hadn't had the chance to get married, but, no, you're not single either. It needs tiime.
10:20 pm
Jacula
Jellen - please allow yourself time. You might not need a decade like I did, but just be kind to yourself.
10:20 pm
Jellen
There is someone I'm interested in, and he's interested in me, but for the time being, we've decided friendship is the best course...
10:21 pm
Jacula
Jellen - that'd be best.
10:23 pm
Jellen
You'd approve of him, though. He's currently a drummer in a rock band...they do lots of 70''s covers...
10:24 pm
Jacula
My decade of not being ready was over the sow death of a long marriage rather than the actual death of a partner, and my did I make some horrendous mistakes and kiss a few frogs on the way before I was ready to love again. As for a man I loved actually dying, well, it's been 7 years since my Dad died physically, after slowing dying from Altzheimer's for yeara. But a parent dying is not something you ever actually 'get over', I think.
10:24 pm
Jacula
Jellen - LOL. I'm sure I would. Any youtube films of his band's stuff?
10:24 pm
Jacula
*sLow not sow. LOL
10:25 pm
Jellen
No, I agree...I've lost both my parents, my mother to Alzheimer's...
