ok. 42 left. I'm gone. *poof*

1:29 am

joshuavorbis

hi everyone

1:29 am

lynxxx

Hi Jac...how is the healing going?

1:32 am

Jacula

Slowly but surely, lynxxx. Crutches not needed now but a stick for any distance, unless I can lean on my Old Lady 4-wheeled shopping trolley.:-(

1:32 am

Jacula

Hi Josh.

1:33 am

lynxxx

Good news - bet the armpits are glad to see the last of the crutches too

1:35 am

Jacula

No armpits involved, they were the elbow and wrist crutches. I had to put our knee bandage on the right hand handle of the crutch because it was killing my hand.

1:37 am

Jacula

I now a have a small but painful nodule just below my right hand little finger. I assume it's through having to compensate for my left side, which is my dominant side.

1:38 am

lynxxx

crazy isn't it - all from a simple fall

1:39 am

Jacula

Yup! But even from a simple small bone break, if you don't notice it, and it leaks, can lead to death. EEK!

1:40 am

dizgrannie

just a question...anyone heard of mitral valve prolapse???

1:41 am

joshuavorbis

no, but i can't imagine any prolapse being a good thing

1:41 am

Jacula

tHAT'S WAT MY SON TOLD ME FROM WATCHING 'hOUSE'. hOWEVER, WHEN i BROKE MY TOE, i did NOTICE STRAIGHTAWAY AND WAS SO HORRIFIED BY THE ANGLE MY TOE WAS AT THAT i RE-SET IT IMMEDIATELY.

1:41 am

lynxxx

what on earth leaks - or should I remain blissfully medically ignorant?

1:42 am

Jacula

Sorry for shouting. caps lock got stuck.

1:42 am

lynxxx

hi DizGrannie, I haven't heard of that either.

1:42 am

dizgrannie

josh, its what my g/dtr has just been diagnosed with - tis not life threatening - just wanted other peeps input

1:42 am

Jacula

lynxx - bone juice (marrow??) - don't rally know.

firweorks

1:43 am

lynxxx

I think I brought my toe in my 20s , didn't hurt or bother me for a long time...but now aches

1:43 am

dizgrannie

the mitral valve is in the heart - hers doesn't shut properly and blood leaks back thro to the other side of heart

1:43 am

anike

or should I say - fireworks

1:44 am

joshuavorbis

surprising that something relating to the heart prolapsing is not life threatening, that is good news

1:44 am

joshuavorbis

what are they going to do about it?

1:44 am

lynxxx

DizGrannie - I have an idea that that is what was wrong with Riverdances son

1:44 am

lynxxx

congrats Anike

1:45 am

dizgrannie

Josh, nothing as is very minor, just wondered if there was anyone else out there with the prob

1:45 am

joshuavorbis

interesting. i have learned something new today

1:45 am

Jacula

MV disease is not normally life threatening, but the person suffering from it should listen to all advice given by senior medical staff.

1:45 am

dizgrannie

GJ Anike

1:46 am

TY. I'm off now - happy babbling

1:46 am

lynxxx

DizGrannie, No, I was wrong, not what Riverdances son had -different heart complaint

1:47 am

dizgrannie

g/dtr has been told to carry on as normal - shes 10

When I retired, in 2001 it was 65years ( I retired six months early) now it's upped to 73 for people of my daughters age. She's now 4.6

thank goodness, it

it's scary out in the dark.

*there there it's OK now* and I am sure some other will be along soon.

3:03 am

Christine

About 40years ago, I saw a televisio show about an astronaut who was left on a dying planet(?) the only one out there, and I remember thinking that would be the worst thing ... well, duh!

3:03 am

FMitch

I was out in the garden v early this morning and it was so dark but the stars were incredible.

3:03 am

Christine

Are you away from a large town?

3:04 am

FMitch

Yes I am, so very little residual light.

3:04 am

Haz1558

Move up, ladies, I'm here as well.

3:05 am

FMitch

Good morning Haz!

3:05 am

Christine

Los Angeles, like most large towns, is never dark enough to see many stars, but go out to the desert, and you'd swear you could reach out and touch them.

3:05 am

Haz1558

Good morning - it's COLD!

3:05 am

FMitch

plenty of room on the sofa infront of the open fire as it is v chilly!

3:06 am

Christine

Hello, Haz. It's raining here, has been (on-and-off) for almost a week.

3:06 am

Haz1558

I'd say winter has definitely arrived. You can cling onto summer for only so long, unfortunately.

3:07 am

FMitch

summer clothes back in the wardrobe 'til next season then *le sigh*

3:07 am

jibiibear

Good evening everyone!

3:07 am

Haz1558

(wondering if FM should go to the PB for so4)

3:07 am

jibiibear

Looking for ra4/4 any ideas?

3:08 am

Haz1558

ra plus a couple of vowels

3:08 am

FMitch

yup I should Haz ... pootle into the PB.
Hi jib.

3:08 am

Haz1558

Or first three letters of what falls from the sky (moisture) ending in a vowel.

3:09 am

FMitch

and don't forget to pl it.

3:09 am

Christine

I remember that when I was a child, we had coal or coke fires. Best of times was a rainy day, when you had no reason to leave the house, playing on the rug in front of the fire, waking in a darkened room, with the coals glowing red, and looking for castles or faces in the coals. Poor little children of today, they'll never know about that.

3:09 am

Haz1558

And then remember it for again because it appears often, jibi.

3:10 am

FMitch

Oh yes Christine I remember that too. An open fire is just so comforting.

3:10 am

FMitch

Did you get a frost this morning Haz?

3:10 am

Haz1558

Ah yes, but then you weren't fetching the coal or clearing away the ashes, Christine. However, I agree that a fire is very comforting, just a lot of work.

3:10 am

jibiibear

Thanks a lot Haz!

3:11 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, jibi.

3:11 am

Haz1558

If there was a frost it must have cleared very early, there's certainly no sign of it any more.

3:11 am

FMitch

It is worth the work, I was my job from an early age to clean the grate and as I grew up Dad taught me to chop logs, loved it.

3:12 am

Haz1558

We must call you Cinders from now on.

3:12 am

FMitch

Started with a small hand axe chopping kindling but still remember the day he said I could use the big axe on a log for the first time.

3:13 am

Haz1558

What age were you?

3:13 am

FMitch

Cinders Ermintrude has a certain cachet about it I guess :)

3:14 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, it's unique.

3:14 am

FMitch

with the big axe? probably about 12.

3:15 am

Haz1558

They must have been happy that you wouldn't run amok in the neighbourhood. Someone with the name 'Cinders Ermintrude' would have had a hard time in prison.

3:15 am

Christine

chilkdhood memories, we didn't notice our Mum was working 23 hours a day, just that everything was how it should be, for our comfort. Selfish little beasts, but it made your Mum happy.

3:16 am

FMitch

ROFL Haz

3:16 am

Christine

Chop a way out, Cinders -- would they let you keep your axe? I'm not sure of the rules governing personal possessions.

3:17 am

Haz1558

FM would have found a way.

3:17 am

Haz1558

And I agree, Christine, I think it's only when you're older that you truly appreciate the work that went into raising you.

3:18 am

Christine

A nice Victoria Sponge, concealing an axe.

3:18 am

FMitch

I am sure Mum was terrified at some of the things Dad let me try but he tought me how to use a drill and be self sufficient in basic DIY things and he let me drive a car for the first time at about 8.

3:18 am

FMitch

LOL Christine that would have to be one BIG cake!

3:19 am

Haz1558

Driving at 8? Well, at least you were prepared to make a swift getaway if any of your axe exploits had gone too far.

3:19 am

Christine

We had a caravan on Canvey Island, where we spent almost the whole school holiday. My sisters and I ran about all day, coming back to eat and sleep. It was years later that I realised my Mother was cooking three meals a day, cleaning up after us, and never sitting outside - just like home.

3:19 am

Haz1558

It's amazing how the secrets are tumbling out this morning.

3:19 am

FMitch

My Dad was brill unfortunately he died when I was 17.

3:20 am

Haz1558

Too young to lose your dad. Mine died when I was 21 so I can sympathise.

3:20 am

Christine

You're never old enough to lose your parents. Is your Mother still with you?

3:20 am

FMitch

Lovely memories there Christine - summers spent on the beach.

3:21 am

FMitch

Yes Mum is ticking along although she and my step dad both admit that if it weren't for modern medicine they would both be gone.

3:23 am

Christine

My sister and I were reminiscing, about going to Nottingham to get away from the raids. We, with my Mother, stayed with my Father's sister and her family ... and we remembered walking alon, balancing on the railroad lines - I was four, she was three, and our older cousins who were supposed to look after us, were the ones that taught us the secret of 'walking a tightrop'. My parents, and theirs, would've scalped them.

3:24 am

FMitch

Cripes I be they would have Christine!

3:24 am

FMitch

*cripes* now where did that come from I feel like I have just quoted from a Bunty comic!

3:24 am

Haz1558

So, we have Christine dicing death on the railway, FM wielding an axe. It's a wonder you're both here.

3:25 am

Christine

I lost my Father in 2007 and my Mother in 1996. Although they were so far away, I knew they would always be ther, but life happens.

3:25 am

FMitch

or an Enid Blyton book

3:25 am

FMitch

and what can you offer us in the dicing with death stakes Haz?

3:25 am

Haz1558

I remember the scales falling from my eyes when I realised that Enid Blyton used far too many ! in her books.

3:26 am

Haz1558

I nearly drowned when I was 8!

3:26 am

FMitch

eeek, what happened?

3:26 am

Haz1558

You want details?

3:26 am

Christine

Enid Blyton's Five go Adventuring, from which I learned the art of writing with invisible ink, and getting out of a locked room.

3:27 am

FMitch

*makes mental note that Christine is a handy person to have around when needing to escape from anywhere*

3:28 am

FMitch

yay found a word for the first time in the last 20 mins - foundations wear and pl :)

3:29 am

Haz1558

We were on holiday, went to a local swimming pool, my mum spectated while my sister and I joined my dad in the pool. I had got ready early, came out and saw the poolside with 8 - 12 on the side. I thought it was your age, not the depth. I was sitting by the side of the pool, a nasty boy pushed me in and I sank. I can still remember opening my eyes and seeing people's legs waving in the water. Fortunately someone saw what was happening and fished me out. NOT a pleasant experience and I had swallowed half the pool.

3:30 am

FMitch

Heavens, thank goodness for that someone!

3:30 am

Haz1558

It left me with a lifelong fear of the water. I've tried to learn to swim but hyperventilating and turning to jelly doesn't make it a pleasurable experience.

3:30 am

Haz1558

Thus, like my mother, I spectate while others swim.

3:30 am

Frances

r

3:31 am

Haz1558

You always need someone to mind the coats and picnic baskets. I am that someone.

3:32 am

FMitch

lol that goes back to the roller coaster convo the other day - I am the one that minds coats there.

3:32 am

Christine

Wow, how scary. When I was a kid, I was very sickly, couldn't go out for gym or games, but one time they needed one person to play a victim when the class was getting some kind of lifesaving instruction. After the class, everyone swam to the sides, leaving me (the nonswimmer) in the middle of the pool. I was soooo certain they'd all gone back to school without me - but they had forgotten I can't swim.

3:32 am

Haz1558

I know, why risk life and limb unnecessarily?

3:33 am

Haz1558

If these things happened nowadays, we'd be suing all and sundry.

3:34 am

Haz1558

I could have been Rebecca Adlington but for that mishap. My Olympic dreams were rendered null and void. Would that argument get me anywhere, do you think?

3:34 am

FMitch

BRB need one more mug of tea.

3:36 am

Christine

I'd saay find the boy and sue him, his parents, children & grandchildren and the owners of the pool.

3:36 am

Haz1558

If only I'd taken better note of what he looked like.

3:37 am

sprite

morning all

3:37 am

Haz1558

He'll have gone one of two ways. He'll either be racked with remorse and trying to make it up to his family by being a model father and grandfather, or, more likely, he'll have spent most of his life in jail having displayed murderous tendencies at an early age.

3:37 am

Haz1558

Good morning, sprite.

3:38 am

Christine

People sue over almost anything, it seems. A man in prison in US, sued the prison because his toothbrush was misplaced when he changed cells - this though he received a new toothbrush immediately, and gets a new one every three months so it

3:38 am

Christine

it's not as though he had childhood memories of this brush.

3:39 am

Christine

Morning sprite

3:39 am

Haz1558

Did his claim succeed?

3:40 am

Haz1558

One of the more ridiculous claims I heard of was when a father sued the hospital for not letting him film every moment of his wife giving birth. She had to have an emergency C-section, the midwife asked him to stop filming and he claimed this breached the agreement he had for artistic rights and the need to have every moment of his child's life on film. The judge (Irish) told him to have a bit of sense and threw the case out.

3:41 am

Christine

Probably not. They're trying to put an end to the nuisance claims. One man in prison has sued everone in sight, and out of sight, including the space program, the planet Pluto -- give 'em something to do in priaon, and they wont have time to mess around. But then you run the risk of denying legitimate claims.

3:42 am

Haz1558

I think lawyers have a resonsibility to say to the nuisance people that they're mad. The same way plastic surgeons should tell some people 'enough is enough'. Common sense is priceless, but of course doing work for people brings in cash.

3:42 am

FMitch

Morning spritey sprite

3:43 am

sprite

hi FM, Haz, Christine

3:44 am

FMitch

Hope this cold but sunny morning finds you well sprite?

3:44 am

Haz1558

Have you had any fr5/16 today, sprite? There's a definite chill in the air here.

3:45 am

sprite

not quite, but very close. We have icy rain now.

3:46 am

Haz1558

Icy rain isn't nice, there are no redeeming features.

3:46 am

FMitch

icy rain yuck.

3:47 am

sprite

exactly. Terra and I were both chilled after our walk. But much better now, in this nice warm house.

3:47 am

FMitch

... and the clocks go back soon - that to me is the indicator that winter is soon to arrive.

3:47 am

Haz1558

Watch out for the alpine wind.

3:48 am

FMitch

Aparently the fact that Siberian geese have landed in the UK already is an indicator that we will have a very hard winter *oh joy*

3:48 am

Haz1558

Apparently the Buick swans have arrived early in this country so they're predicting another cold winter.

3:48 am

sprite

I like the clock change this time of year. As opposed to the one in Spring, which I fervently despise.

3:48 am

FMitch

lol snap Haz

3:48 am

Haz1558

FM and I have been watching the same news reports.

3:49 am

FMitch

*meant swans not geese but got carried away as usual.

3:49 am

Haz1558

The advantage of a really cold winter seems to be incredibly good fruit later on. Apple trees are laden.

3:50 am

FMitch

I must buy a shovel this year incase of a repeat of the snow of last year.

3:50 am

FMitch

True Haz, my crab apple tree has been laden but I have left the fruit on there for the birds.

3:51 am

Haz1558

I know, remember the dramas last January.

3:53 am

FMitch

In W.Sussex the council has already done bad weather tests and scenarios. Just hope they have more grit/salt than last year.

3:54 am

Haz1558

We have a salt mine near Carrickfergus which was stretched to the limit last year in trying to get enough produced to satisfy demand. I once knew their sales rep who liked to introduce himself as a salt seller.

3:54 am

Hi Haz Hi FM

3:58 am

herinfernallady

I had a test, I had a huge sleep last night and then I was annoying all day. I had my friends looking at me oddly because I was eating a salad

3:59 am

sprite

ah well, they know you longer than today

3:59 am

Christine

Haz, is that the salt mine where y'all toil to pay my lavish compensation?

4:00 am

Haz1558

The very one.

4:00 am

Haz1558

And you thought I was joking.

4:00 am

herinfernallady

Why is it you say salt mine I think salt lick

4:00 am

sprite

your salad was too bland?

4:01 am

Haz1558

If you google Kilroot salt you'll find it.

4:02 am

Haz1558

There's even a video clip from the BBC if you scroll down enough.

4:03 am

FMitch

The BBC really does cover everything :)

4:03 am

herinfernallady

I never eat salad

4:04 am

you did today

then maybe a few croutons and some crispy bacon ... ...

4:06 am

your love is waving at you again today, FM

4:07 am

eek Im turning into crossy!
Yes sprite I thought of him when I found the word :)

since you told me, the word reminds me of you :)

4:07 am

jhb

Good evening friends and sister. I have just read the comments about winter - ha ha we are gokng into our summer here. But do you remember Christine the signs in the London Underground. Various sayings and quotations - the one that sticks with me is from Percy Byshe Shelley that said "if winter comes can spring be far behind?"

4:07 am

FMitch

*grin*

4:07 am

sprite

FMcrossy. It is interesting.

4:08 am

FMitch

Oh good quote jhb.

4:08 am

sprite

hi jhb, nice quote.

4:10 am

Haz1558

I'm going to take a five minute break but I'll be back shortly. It's nice to have a grid with a bit more oomph, isn't it?

4:10 am

FMitch

I wonder what it would be like to follow summer or spring around the world? Would one get bored with it and crave the change of seasons?

4:11 am

FMitch

TTFN Haz

4:11 am

sprite

Absolutely. Very much enjoying it. And will be back very shortly too, need some kind of breakfast.

4:11 am

sprite

never, FM, because you'd be in different areas all the time

4:12 am

jhb

Hi FMitch. I did just that for 3 years after my husband died. I had summer here then in the northern hemisphere and then back here. It was good except that I never seemed to be in sinc with my friends. They had all been doing things while I was on the other side of the world.

4:13 am

Christine

I think'd be wonderful - just like living in So.Cal.

4:14 am

FMitch

mmm good point jhb but I have to admit as much as I gripe about the weather I wouldn't live permanently anywhere else than the UK.

4:14 am

jhb

rockent

oops - at the making up word stage. Sorry

4:15 am

Great to visit other places but my heart is always in England.

Bon apetit spritey.

oh darling - I missed that. I have been entertaining a very upset friend. Problems with her kids. So while she went to have her hair done earlier, I looked after her dog. Can you imagine an Afghan hound with my tibetan Spaniel? Talk about the sublime to the ridiculous. Any way she felt better after having her hair done and a bowl of my world famous soup.

4:17 am

sprite

thanks :)

4:18 am

sprite

soup. I'd kill for soup.

4:18 am

Christine

Did you ever complete the Soup Book for the charity event, or was it shelved?

4:18 am

FMitch

oh world famous soup??? Love making soup - do tell.

4:19 am

jhb

The book was completed but then the publisher went belly up and so the project is still sitting in my computer. Will get to it someday.

4:19 am

sprite

yesss over the halfway mark

4:19 am

Christine

Sprite, don't say kill - FMitch has a concealed axe.

4:20 am

FMitch

in a BIG cake cooked by Christine :)

4:20 am

jhb

Amd FMitch - my children will tell you that their mother can make soup from an onion and a potato. I can actually do a lot better than that. And brag time - I started the Great NZ Soup Kitchen Restaurant with a friend many years ago.

4:20 am

sprite

uh-oh, FM on bacon hunt again

4:20 am

Christine

Can't go wrong with soup. Do you remember Lyons Corner house, we'd have tomato soup, roll and butter.

4:21 am

jhb

Yes but wasn't the soup made with powdered soup. I can still taste that.

4:21 am

FMitch

Wow now that is a blast from the past - I remember Lyons Corner Houses and their vanilla ice cream.

4:21 am

Christine

I don't know, but when Vanessa was small, I took her there, and she still remembers it.

4:21 am

jhb

But Christine - what about the little Italian restaurants in Soho where we would go for lunch when we worked close by.

4:22 am

sprite

we just had pumpkin soup. I love pumpkin soup.

4:22 am

jhb

That was where I first had Minestrone soup. We thought we were so so sophisticated.

4:22 am

Christine

And, FMitch, the nippies in their black dresses and white aprons.

4:22 am

jhb

Hi Sprite. Do you do pumpkin with blue cheese?

4:22 am

sprite

nippies?

4:23 am

FMitch

lol I need to get my eyes tested as I read that word wrong

4:23 am

jhb

Nippies were the waitresses. Why were they called that Christine?

4:23 am

sprite

I have several recipes, but none with blue cheese. Sounds good though.

4:23 am

sprite

same here, FM :)

4:23 am

Christine

When we were kids, people didn't eat out as often. I doubt my grandparents ever went to a restaurant, but my Mother always took us to Lyons in Leicester Sqare (?), after a visit to the dentist.

4:23 am

jhb

You just put the blue chees in a piece just as you serve the soup. Makes a totally different soup.

4:24 am

sprite

oh cool! Just like a drollop of cream.

4:24 am

jhb

Yes exactly.

4:25 am

sprite

will try that next time, jhb, thanks

4:25 am

FMitch

I must tear myself away as much as it pains me as the chat hs been the best for ages. But I shall return :) after work emails and errands have been done.

4:25 am

sprite

*hugs* FM, good luck with the chores.

4:25 am

herinfernallady

Bye FM

4:26 am

Christine

Judith, I think for their fast service - I'll google it.

4:26 am

Christine

Bye FMitch.

4:26 am

jhb

By FMitch. I too must go. The chat is better than the grid, but now have to clear up after dinner. Friend has gone home happier I hope than when she arrived. G'ightall. And Christine - just saw your message. Let me know.

4:27 am

sprite

bye jhb

4:27 am

Christine

By luv. I'll email you after I get through to Marianne.

4:27 am

Christine

4:30 am

sprite

I want to binge and there is nothing in the cupboards here.

4:30 am

herinfernallady

I am eating pizza. I want to lie down

4:31 am

herinfernallady

And my blood sister is in Afghanistan :(

4:32 am

sprite

am seriously considering braving the cold and getting myself a treat.

4:33 am

herinfernallady

I think I have to raid the deep freeze if I want something

4:33 am

herinfernallady

I was super annoying today due to sleep

4:35 am

sprite

and now the doubting phase starts. Shall I go out in the cold and get something..... or shall I stay in where it is warm and do without....

4:35 am

redturtlehead

stay inside sprite, it is far too cold out there.

4:35 am

redturtlehead

sunggle up in blankets.

4:35 am

sprite

it really is, isn't it red!

4:35 am

herinfernallady

Sprite have you heard of Mug Cake?

4:36 am

redturtlehead

it is. get a tea, you dont really want to eat a bunch of junk anyway.

4:36 am

sprite

never. What is that?

4:36 am

sprite

well.... yes I do, red, but I know it isn't wise.

Hi Red

4:37 am

redturtlehead

hi herin.

4:37 am

redturtlehead

Like I wanted to when the dog woke me this morning.

4:38 am

jhb

Hi Fmitch and Christine. Just had to come back. Was in kitchen tidying up and had this flashback. Eastman's Dental clinic and the awful rubber aprons they put on one if they were taking out teeth. Nightmare memories.

4:38 am

herinfernallady

Hi JHB

4:38 am

sprite

lol that is fun, lady. We don't have a microwave or I would have tried that.

4:38 am

redturtlehead

that is awful jhb.

4:39 am

sprite

argh jhb

4:39 am

herinfernallady

Um what else can I think off. Do you ahve those ingrediants?

4:40 am

sprite

yes, except for the choc chips

4:40 am

jhb

And we wonder why people of my generation hate the dentists.

4:40 am

herinfernallady

What time is it?

4:40 am

sprite

am very scared of them too, jhb

4:40 am

sprite

it is 11.40 am here

4:40 am

jhb

Where are you in this world Sprite?

4:41 am

herinfernallady

Make a cake

4:41 am

herinfernallady

Make a cake

4:41 am

sprite

in the Netherlands, jhb

4:41 am

jhb

It's 10.40pm here in NZ and whoever suggested making a cake?

4:41 am

herinfernallady

JHB try the Mug Cake

4:41 am

jhb

What is that? I thought it was a typo for mud cake.

4:41 am

sprite

not enough butter for a whole cake, but I think I have a small baking errrrr container (?) somewhere. Good idea, lady.

4:41 am

redturtlehead

also afraid of dentists, though I am of a different generation, we never had a rubber aproned dentist.

4:42 am

redturtlehead

It's 5:41 here....cake would be alright but I have to try running again in a bit.

4:42 am

sprite

check out the link, jhb, it is fun:
http://tinyurl.com/l54xpo

4:42 am

jhb

No the dentist didn't wear the rubber apron. The victims did.

4:42 am

jhb

Thanks Sprite. Will do. Now should really go back to kitchen but this is so much more fun

4:43 am

herinfernallady

No Mug Cake

4:43 am

redturtlehead

Oh, we never wore a rubber apron either. just those stupid little paper things, like the size of a plcemat, btu I never had a tooth pulled either.

4:43 am

herinfernallady

How much Butter do you have?

4:43 am

redturtlehead

yet!

4:43 am

sprite

about 4 spoons full

4:44 am

herinfernallady

Let me see

4:45 am

redturtlehead

Oh sprite, make some lovely toast, butter it and melt some sort of sugar on top. I always love that.

4:45 am

jhb

Sprite - I did check it out and will certainly try it. I know my grandsons will enjoy making it themselves. Then I really will have to clean up the kitchen after they finish.

4:45 am

sprite

hmmmmm that sounds good too.

4:45 am

sprite

lol yes jhb, but fun!

4:46 am

jhb

Oh Sprite - that is a good suggestion from redturtlehead. Try some Golden syrup or treacle. That will really set the taste buds off.

4:46 am

redturtlehead

yes and my original goal was to steer sprite away from eating junk, oops.

4:46 am

herinfernallady

SpriteL http://tinyurl.com/knha2n This is my favourite recipe

4:47 am

sprite

you guys are saviours. Thanks!

4:47 am

herinfernallady

This is the worlds most awesomeest pudding. Left a day it is better

4:48 am

sprite

looks lovely too

4:49 am

jhb

Aren't friends here to help each other? When someone needs some junk lets help her.

4:49 am

redturtlehead

Ok, I am off to try to get dressed and run. very un motivated, but we will see....

4:49 am

redturtlehead

well,jnb, thats one way to look at it.

4:49 am

sprite

it is really helping, and much better suggestions than eating loads of junk.

4:50 am

herinfernallady

I didn't say it wasn't healthy (you just need to look at it from another point of view). It is healthy because it is home made and the calories fall out when you cut it

4:50 am

jhb

Good night guys. The kitchen calls and then bed. Back tomorrow.

4:50 am

herinfernallady

Night JHB

4:50 am

night jhb, sleep well

4:50 am

roflollll good one, lady

4:50 am

Love the idea that the calories fall out when you cut the cake. I will remember that in future.

4:50 am

sprite

have a good day, red *hugs*

4:51 am

herinfernallady

It is true. When you make food they never have a cal count (That is what I think)

4:52 am

sprite

a great rule to live by

4:53 am

herinfernallady

only live once

4:53 am

Have you seen teh fantastic site Newdressaday

bye Christine!

4:54 am

no, what is it, lady?

4:55 am

Christine

Herinfernallady - also bear in mind, calories [calories/color] add color, so stick to ice cream, angel food cake,

4:55 am

herinfernallady

I like that Christine and it is Herin to save your fingers

4:55 am

herinfernallady

It is a website were a lady has made a dress a day recycling $1 dress every day

4:56 am

herinfernallady

http://www.newdressaday.com/ when you get a chance

4:57 am

sprite

wow, creative lady

4:58 am

herinfernallady

SHe is. And I am going to go find some of my train wrecks that I have and make a skirt

4:58 am

And I'm back. I read that $1 dress as being 51 dresses and couldn't believe her efficiency.

Hi Haz

Christine

I'll try to remember but I'm really obsessive about abbreviations.

5:00 am

herinfernallady

Haz all the remands are recycled too. It is Ok Christine

5:00 am

herinfernallady

I swear I am going to force feed these cats of mine charcoal if they don't stop farting

5:01 am

Haz1558

My younger daughter had a handbag made for her using leather from a much loved pair of boots. I couldn't believe how creative the lady had been.

5:02 am

herinfernallady

I like that idea

5:02 am

Haz1558

I must see if I can find a link - it was featured on her website for a while as an example of what can be done.

5:02 am

sprite

vowelless word alert

5:04 am

herinfernallady

One of the girls in my class today was wearing this skirt that was similar to one of my 90's dresses with a white top attached it was very pretty

5:04 am

herinfernallady

But as the weather is heating up I am going to make this skirt

5:05 am

Haz1558

Daughter's bag isn't featured any more, but the website is www.dazeddorothy.co.uk The handbags are delicious.

5:06 am

herinfernallady

I love the thought of Upcycling

5:07 am

Haz1558

Yes, you end up with something better than what you had.

5:07 am

very good ideas

5:07 am

Haz1558

It has to be done by experts though. In my hands it would be a different story.

Excellent, glad you've seen progress already.

*worried look*

6:42 am

Haz1558

Brain transfusion - she was giving brain cells to others.

6:42 am

Haz1558

Some donate blood, Ata gives brain cells. She's very sharing and caring.

6:42 am

Atalante

oh yes. helping spread geniusness around the world

6:43 am

Atalante

but really, sorting out my cruciate ligament

6:43 am

jmcnrick

cute haz == i am surprise you didn't volunteer with all your extra brain

6:43 am

Haz1558

I need all the brains I have, Ata's the one who can afford to donate extra.

6:43 am

Atalante

she knew she couldnt compete

6:43 am

jmcnrick

i thought probably something like that

6:44 am

Haz1558

Sorry, Ata, your knee op was just a cover-up for the real business. Get well soon!

6:44 am

jmcnrick

i am surprised at all this modesty haz

6:44 am

Haz1558

Oh, I know my limitations.

6:45 am

Haz1558

Any talk of maths and science and I glaze over. Ata laps it up.

6:45 am

Atalante

not that there are many

6:45 am

jmcnrick

ah so it is a subject matter limitation

6:46 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. There are subjects where my brain will not go.

6:46 am

jmcnrick

perhaps you could arrange a guided tour

6:47 am

Atalante

ah but you know everything about the Titanic

6:47 am

Haz1558

I don't mind too much. I just admire those who understand the stuff.

6:48 am

Haz1558

Maybe not everything..

6:48 am

Atalante

nearly everything

6:48 am

jmcnrick

i love watching someone who is very good at something work -- it is a joy

6:49 am

Haz1558

Exactly, jmc, I don't care whether it's a cook or a bricklayer or a plasterer or whatever, if they're an expert, it's a treat to watch.

6:50 am

Atalante

even an accountant?

6:50 am

jmcnrick

even that ata

6:51 am

Atalante

not even a lawyer? *gasp* :P

6:51 am

Haz1558

I'd enjoy knowing that they know what they're doing while I'm standing glazed and amazed.

6:51 am

jmcnrick

there is this guy on a finance committee with me who just analysises things in a flash

6:51 am

jmcnrick

yes I love to watch myself work! lol

6:55 am

Haz1558

FM revealed earlier today that she is a dab hand with an axe. She could have been a lumberjack.

6:55 am

jmcnrick

really -- that must be something to see

6:56 am

Atalante

goodness me

6:56 am

jmcnrick

pete seeger is good with an axe too -- still

6:56 am

Haz1558

It was a surprise to me but apparently her father started her off with firewood. She had to clear the ashes from the fire as well.

6:57 am

Atalante

started her off ... what did she graduate to?

6:57 am

jmcnrick

and child protective services didn't intervene?

6:58 am

Haz1558

She eventually got her own axe. Vast swathes of deforestation can probably be put down to her.

6:58 am

jmcnrick

*imagines FM in diapers welding an axe*

6:58 am

Haz1558

And he taught her to drive at 8 so she could drive her own logging truck.

6:58 am

jmcnrick

I wonder if she would take out my ceder trees for me

6:58 am

Haz1558

She's had such an extraordinary life.

6:59 am

Atalante

wonder if she had mini lumberjack shirts

6:59 am

Haz1558

I don't know whether she's allowed out of the country any more, jmc. Something about protective custody.

6:59 am

jmcnrick

would either of you condescend to give me the stats for the N?

7:00 am

Haz1558

ne4/4

7:00 am

jmcnrick

hmmm hope that axe has bee confined to trees

7:00 am

Atalante

I would, but seeing as I've only been back for about half an hour ....

7:00 am

Atalante

but it's a ne4/4 lol

7:00 am

Haz1558

How long will it be before your brain cells regenerate, Ata?

7:00 am

jmcnrick

rats

7:01 am

Atalante

well I did just get a word on request ...

7:01 am

jmcnrick

there -- nbt

7:01 am

Haz1558

That's pretty good going, Ata.

7:02 am

jmcnrick

ty you both I can start my day with a sense of accomplishment

7:02 am

And may the day continue to be as good, jmc.

7:03 am

ty haz -- i best be going about it too see you tomorrow perhaps

7:03 am

Bye, jmc.

7:04 am

jmcnrick

*poof*

7:04 am

I'll try not to :)

7:04 am

Haz1558

And I'd better go and get some lunch. See you later, Ata, and rest up a little. Bye!

7:26 am

Mom

7:26 am

Mom

Nono, want to share a fish?

7:26 am

Trifioso

8:28 am

Anniebrook

Nono, out in the cold again..just got back in

8:28 am

NonoNanette

geesh Annie, sorry your having problems

8:29 am

NonoNanette

its frustrating, i know

8:29 am

Anniebrook

i keep getting a message that says word could not be added and the puter freezes..then i am out..LOL

8:30 am

NonoNanette

thats usually a server problem

8:30 am

Anniebrook

thanks nono, then I will not take it personally

8:31 am

NonoNanette

I had it happen one day. I use babble expert and I could put words into the clues list but got the red message for babble list.

8:32 am

Anniebrook

yes, that has happened to me too

8:32 am

NonoNanette

I completed the grid, saved the clues list and came back later and transfered everything over

8:32 am

Anniebrook

good to know, thanks nono

8:33 am

NonoNanette

your welcome

8:33 am

Anniebrook

nono, do you have a clue for the first co6?

8:34 am

NonoNanette

8:34 am

Anniebrook

thanks nono

8:34 am

NonoNanette

yw

8:38 am

Ouwachita

any clue for the fa7 after the one meaning quicker?

8:39 am

Anniebrook

dont have it, Ouw

8:39 am

FMitch

There isn't one Ouw - that is an extra word on Licketys list.

8:40 am

Ouwachita

then have you got the last up7 ?

8:40 am

Anniebrook

FM, Hi...and thanks

8:40 am

Ouwachita

ok fitch

8:40 am

FMitch

pl of the up6

8:40 am

Ouwachita

never mind...I got it

8:41 am

NonoNanette

hadn't even noticed the extra word... thanks FM

8:41 am

Ouwachita

so then, there are 249 words today?

8:41 am

Anniebrook

yes

8:42 am

FMitch

yw Nono I only knew about it as I noticed some chat this morning.

8:42 am

Ouwachita

great, then i am finished

8:42 am

Ouwachita

anyone need a clue before i leave?

8:42 am

NonoNanette

woohooo wtg Ouw

8:42 am

FMitch

Congrats Ouw!

8:42 am

Anniebrook

congrats, ouw!

8:43 am

Anniebrook

hi FM!

8:43 am

FMitch

Hows the back today Annie?

8:43 am

Anniebrook

FM, Much better, thanks

8:44 am

FMitch

oh good, glad to hear that!

8:45 am

Anniebrook

thanks, I am glad too

8:45 am

FMitch

Something else I picked up in the log some while ago from Lickelty is that when his list throws in an extra word until he tweaks his program the automatic list generator will not work properly.

8:46 am

NonoNanette

so we may not have his list tomorrow, i remember that now that you mention it FM

8:46 am

FMitch

spots the extra word today there won't be a list tomorrow - or at least that is how I read his dialogue. :(

8:46 am

Anniebrook

yes, I was on when he explained that..he has to know the extra word

8:46 am

NonoNanette

perhaps someone should email him what the extra word is?

8:46 am

FMitch

Oh good glad I wasn't dreaming that!

8:47 am

Anniebrook

I dont know the word,....anyone here know it?

8:48 am

FMitch

am presuming it is the pl of the fa6/27?

8:49 am

NonoNanette

yes its an fa7 its a pl word that went to lickety's

8:50 am

Anniebrook

Isnt the plural of the fa 6/27 fa 7/40? or is there another word...

8:50 am

NonoNanette

thats the one Annie

8:51 am

Anniebrook

according to my list...there are 6 fa's

8:51 am

Anniebrook

Am I not understanding this correctly?

8:52 am

FMitch

There are only 5 x fa's Annie

8:52 am

carleekat

hi again all

8:52 am

MollyL

This is weird. I only see on fa 6 on my list. When you all say "extra word" does that mean that it will or will not be recognized?

8:52 am

FMitch

as i can't access his page at the moment my PC is playing up.

8:52 am

NonoNanette

I have only 5 in "My Word List" but there are 6 in lickety's

8:53 am

Anniebrook

FM ---I have 6 fa's and they were all accepted

8:53 am

carleekat

ok...i just checked my "list" there are 6 fas

8:53 am

NonoNanette

not recognised by babble Molly but is on lickety's list

8:53 am

carleekat

exactly nono.....

8:53 am

Anniebrook

hi Molly

8:54 am

MollyL

Morning all. This extra word thing is confusing. But since I hardly ever finish a grid this big, no worries.

8:54 am

FMitch

I've finished the grid and have fa4/7, 5/16, 4/7, 6/27 and 5/16.

8:55 am

Anniebrook

okay, I got it....thanks nono...then it is the plural of fa6 as FM said...FM is never wrong....but you can still blame her

8:55 am

carleekat

88 to go here...

8:55 am

NonoNanette

thats what I have also FM

8:55 am

FMitch

LOL Annie (())

8:55 am

NonoNanette

42 left for me

8:56 am

FMitch

and Hello carlee and Molly

8:57 am

FMitch

Oh carlee I thought that was a great idea that Trif came up with and was delighted to read that the troop have embraced it too.

9:00 am

carleekat

yeap..they liked the idea..now..to find 10 distinct colours of nailpolish

9:00 am

NonoNanette

that shouldn't be too hard Carlee

9:00 am

carleekat

we will see...

9:02 am

NonoNanette

I can think of at least 9 that I have seen....

9:03 am

carleekat

( ok....let me rephrase...10 distinct colours that us as leaders own so that we dont spend money on this )

9:04 am

FMitch

I bought the most brilliant blue colour last year to paint and protect some paper beads I had made.

9:04 am

NonoNanette

well that might be a bit different... but a suggestion.... check halloween items in store for cheap sets of weird colors

9:05 am

FMitch

ah thats fair enough carlee.

9:05 am

carleekat

we only get about 5-600.00 from guiding/ year for program stuff... and when you have 23 girls...that doesnt go far

9:05 am

carleekat

out of the 150.00 reg fees we get 11.00/ girl

9:06 am

carleekat

and then cookie money we get out of the 48.00 per carton of 12 boxes we get 9.00

9:06 am

NonoNanette

geesh that's not much at all. Are you allowed to do fund raising things for special projects?

9:07 am

FMitch

failing that then, how about good old watercolour paint or similar just mix it up thick.

9:07 am

carleekat

only if all your girls selll cookies... we have one girl whose parents refused...they are sending in a donation chq....so not..we cannot fund raise

9:07 am

NonoNanette

that sucks

9:07 am

FMitch

or perhaps not, it might stain.

9:07 am

carleekat

we have to charge the girls for extra activities

9:08 am

carleekat

our system very diff here then in states...there..reg fees are somehting like 25.00 /year and that covers everything and most of $ comes from cookies...we dont have the population/ variety to support that system

9:09 am

FMitch

Nono can you access Licketys page and email him as I still can't get to it.

9:09 am

NonoNanette

sure FM, not a problem

9:09 am

NonoNanette

will do that right now before I forget

9:10 am

FMitch

Ta on behalf of all list users :) fingers crossed he picks up the email of course :)

9:10 am

carleekat

ok..what to do today...not sure....i have so much i could do!!!!...i think an infusion of caffeine and then i can tackle the house etc

9:11 am

carleekat

( what up with lickety's list fm?) i have been popping back and forth

9:12 am

FMitch

Nothing major car it just has 1 extra word today and that will impair the program running tomorrow until he clears that down.

9:12 am

carleekat

oh.ok... i c... cool

9:12 am

carleekat

alright....gone for caffeine...and cleaning ( yack)

9:12 am

carleekat

ttfn * poof*

9:12 am

it's been a long hard day but that's no excuse. my abject aplogies

10:38 am

MollyL

I have a problem with the plural of ro 6/33 not being accepted.

10:38 am

Kallia

lol ruby, can't you give me my missing p's please!

10:39 am

FMitch

Hi Kallia and dear crossy and a hug for poor ruby :)

10:40 am

rubyfoo

and now husband wants to have washing machine fixed, not replaced he originated the expression good money after bad!

10:41 am

FMitch

Ignore him and get a new one before you spend any more money on the darn thing!

10:41 am

rubyfoo

so far, 220euros

10:41 am

rubyfoo

insane

10:41 am

crosshair

that IS crazy

10:41 am

rubyfoo

I think that 13 years of almost daily use isn't so bad!

10:41 am

Kallia

I agree with FM Ruby...comes a point when reppair is not economic

10:41 am

FMitch

Tell him that yo have been told it will be cheaper to buy a new one ;)

10:42 am

Kallia

and O KNOW that repair has only one p...honest

10:42 am

rubyfoo

it's ridiculous, but he is the least mechanically adept person I know.

10:42 am

Kallia

that is good life span for a washer Ruby

10:42 am

Haz1558

How old is the washing machine? Have you found a competent repairman? Would he accept your explanation that you bought a new one on e-bay by accident - a slip of the finger?

10:42 am

Kallia

gosh my typing is getting worse!

10:43 am

rubyfoo

an doesn't "get it". He says that Amana washing machines lasted forever. duh

10:43 am

Kallia

hello Haz

10:43 am

rubyfoo

hi haz

10:43 am

FMitch

Greetings Haz.

10:43 am

rubyfoo

I need crossy to shake some sense into him!

10:44 am

FMitch

13 years is lasting forever in the washing machine cycle for heavens sake!

10:44 am

Haz1558

Hello! ruby, I'm not usually one for confrontation, but I think I'd just down tools until you get a new washing machine. He wants clean clothes? Let him wash his own.

10:44 am

crosshair

lol,get it running just long enough to put about 2 pounds of fine sand thru it.that will finish it once and for all,and he will have no choice

10:44 am

rubyfoo

hah hah haz; he would be oblivious

10:44 am

Haz1558

He will refuse to call the repairman - so will you. And stick it out.

10:45 am

Haz1558

Back shortly!

10:45 am

rubyfoo

he can't as it's all in French!

10:45 am

Kallia

does he control all the cash Ruby? I'd just go and get one , and field the aftermath as and when it happened

10:45 am

FMitch

In which case you can tell a small white lie and say it is beyond repair.

10:45 am

rubyfoo

good idea, kalia, I'll just order one on the phone

10:46 am

Haz1558

Exactly. He's going to be stuck good and proper and smelling to high heaven. Get that credit card out and do it some damage.

10:46 am

Haz1558

*gone*

10:46 am

Kallia

yep go do it now :)

10:47 am

Kateq

fa 7/40?

10:47 am

crosshair

put a old was tub and scrubbing board by his chair and tell him that he is doing the laundry now;))

10:47 am

rubyfoo

I think I need to go the the store and try to negotiate some of the repair charges against the price of a new machine

10:47 am

FMitch

well tomorrow morning seeing as it is coming up to 6pm in France.

10:47 am

rubyfoo

dinner time for us farmers....hahah

10:48 am

FMitch

Oh even better idea crossy - put the scrubbing board and a big old stone next to the fish pond *giggle* See what he makes of that!

10:48 am

Kallia

ah yes, good idea to try that Ruby, but you may still get it cheaper on line

10:48 am

crosshair

lol

10:48 am

rubyfoo

he'll think the heron brought it!

10:48 am

FMitch

LOL ruby :)

10:48 am

11:38 am

carleekat

ok...what is caster sugar?

11:38 am

varumba

it's just plain sugar

11:39 am

varumba

lil granulae

11:39 am

carleekat

granulated sugar..plain old used for cereal/ etc

11:39 am

carleekat

okie kokie

11:39 am

carleekat

we call granulated

11:39 am

varumba

ok

11:39 am

Vicuna

caster sugar is finer than regular granulated

11:40 am

Vicuna

Hello, all.

11:40 am

carleekat

icing sugar?

11:40 am

rururocks

have some with coffee in the PB everyone

11:40 am

varumba

icing sugar is when you blend caster sugar, so it turns into a fine powder

11:40 am

dcseain

i thought caster sugar was powdered sugar

11:40 am

varumba

nope, caster is the granulated one

11:41 am

carleekat

ok...cannot make either fairy cakes..nor victoria sponge as we do not have caster sugar here

11:41 am

Vicuna

nope, not quite as fine as confectioners, but finer than our usual table sugar in the US

11:41 am

varumba

what sugar do you have?

11:41 am

carleekat

i oculd get in toronto likely....but that is 3 hours of freakish hway driving on an at times 18 lane freeway going 130 Km /h....for sugar..i think not

11:41 am

Vicuna

But you could use regular and see what happens!

11:41 am

dcseain

castor/caster is super fine, not powdered :) http://www.ochef.com/580.htm

11:42 am

dcseain

you could grind regular to fine but not powdered easily with blender or food processor

11:42 am

carleekat

granulated... brown, dark brown, raw, fruit, icing and demerra

11:42 am

varumba

so you're fine then!

11:42 am

carleekat

alas..no...caster... or and i have coarse as well

11:43 am

varumba

you see, sugar is being iced so it mixes beter with the rest of the buttermix... so if you think your plain sugar is too "big" then use the icing one

11:43 am

carleekat

i dont have a blender nor a food processor...i whip by hand..chop/ mince etc... by hand

11:43 am

FMitch

HAve you got apples carlee?

11:43 am

dcseain

did you see my comments below, carlee?
http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-caste
r-sugar.htm is another resource

11:43 am

dcseain

oh, i see, carlee

11:44 am

I just like freshly baked things in the PB so they are still warm when I get there.

11:46 am

11:52 am

carleekat

cus... just cus caster is on the list... does not mean i will not say..caster... time and again because i am on a quest to find a recipe ...or an explanation for what exactly caster is

11:52 am

carleekat

( but i keep the pb well stocked with chocklit and wine and other tasty things all the time)

11:52 am

varumba

carlee, replace caster sugar with icing sugar: will not affect the recipe at all

11:52 am

11:53 am

varumba

that sugar is to go in the buttermix, right?

11:53 am

Vicuna

Thanks, FM. I can't complain. I guess I was spoiled by the irrational exuberance of the art-buying public a couple years ago! lol

11:53 am

carleekat

11:54 am

carleekat

i KNOW... i think it would be fun...for one day..but alas the purists object :(

12:00 pm

MollyL

I'd like to see someone use 0 7/32 in a sentence that makes sense.

12:00 pm

FMitch

perhaps we could use words from the day befores grid?

12:01 pm

Vicuna

Are you implying that my sentence didn't make sense, MollyL???? lol

12:01 pm

FMitch

then it wouldn't offend anyone.

12:01 pm

MollyL

Purists are like Puritans...no fun.

12:01 pm

carleekat

well..that is boring..and there no fun inthe hunt...i actually think we would learn more forcing urselves to use them properly in sentences

12:01 pm

bichon

there's an o7?

MollyL

I must have missed your sentence Vicuna.

12:01 pm

carleekat

os+ what you do with thin paper and a pencil with last letter changed

12:04 pm

varumba

it is the bit of paper on which - in ancient greek - they wrote the name of the person to be ostracized

12:05 pm

varumba

and it is the plural form here.....

12:05 pm

varumba

You ca never trust what Haz says

12:24 pm

Haz1558

I was telling them about your exploits with your axe. We can blame FM for the rain forests disappearing...

12:24 pm

Atalante

we want to know what your father taught you when progressing on from a big axe

12:25 pm

jmcnrick

my dreams are always funny

12:25 pm

carleekat

well we blame her for everything else..( haz....it was all fm's fault with the sugar..she suggested that i bake fairy cakes and victoria sponges )

12:25 pm

jmcnrick

where is the fun in not trusting haz

12:25 pm

FMitch

Haz is the master or mistress of making a story into an epic tale of hollywood proportions (in technicolour).

12:25 pm

carleekat

i blame Fm for the rule breaking :p ~~~~~

12:25 pm

jmcnrick

I just want to make sure you only aim at trees with that axe

12:25 pm

carleekat

12:26 pm

12:26 pm

carleekat

#D is where its at now

12:26 pm

FMitch

OK back in a couple of mins and I will teach you all you need to know about a chain saw and a petrol driven strimmer ... make sure you have your goggles ready.

12:26 pm

Haz1558

I just let my imagination run with a few details.

12:26 pm

jmcnrick

*opens archives in new tab*

12:27 pm

jmcnrick

i have a chain saw but what is a stimmer? *on pins and needles*

12:27 pm

Haz1558

A chain saw? This is worse than I had imagined!

12:27 pm

carleekat

3D pardon me*

12:27 pm

jmcnrick

that is what an imagination is for haz!

12:27 pm

Haz1558

A strimmer is a mechanical means of trimming long grass.

12:28 pm

Atalante

weed whacker!

12:28 pm

Haz1558

It buzzes and whines and snags itself every five minutes.

12:28 pm

carleekat

ok..going for a moment to find some late season catnip out in my garden...

12:28 pm

Atalante

americans calling them weed whackers always makes me laugh muchly

12:29 pm

Haz1558

Do they really call them that?

12:29 pm

Atalante

yes!!

12:29 pm

jmcnrick

a weed whacker I knew the guy that invented it and held the prototype in my dainty little hand

12:29 pm

jmcnrick

it was invented in the U.S. so we can call it anything we want

12:30 pm

Atalante

they dont understand the hilarity we all find in the nae

12:30 pm

Haz1558

Dear me, we are in the presence of greatness.

12:30 pm

jmcnrick

*worried that carlee is on the catnip again*

12:30 pm

jmcnrick

the prototype was a tennis ball can and fishing line

12:31 pm

jmcnrick

it always seem descriptive to me

12:31 pm

carleekat

ok....kitties are chowing dow on catnip ( i can hear one litterally crunching it like one would lettuce leaves )

12:32 pm

Atalante

it is ... it's just very funny

12:32 pm

MollyL

Chain saws and weed whackers. The chat log has gotten dangerous.

12:32 pm

Haz1558

I think a strimmer sounds more dignified.

12:32 pm

FMitch

Back again

12:33 pm

jmcnrick

*offers molly a Kevlar jacket*

12:33 pm

Haz1558

I could imagine Percy Thrower advocating the use of a strimmer (just about) but he wouldn't be able to force the term 'weed whacker' over his lips.

12:33 pm

FMitch

Chain saw was my graduation from the big axe - so much fun and sawdust

12:33 pm

jmcnrick

a strimmer sounds like something you clean teh pond with

12:33 pm

carleekat

but to the macho men who wield these instruments of destruction strimmer is far too...dainty weed whacker on the other hand...

12:33 pm

Haz1558

(Percy Thrower - dignified TV gardenerO

12:33 pm

MollyL

Thank you jmc.

12:34 pm

jmcnrick

*puts on Kevlar jacket*

12:34 pm

FMitch

Strimmer was good until I realised that there was the remains of a 19th centuary greenhouse at ground level.

12:34 pm

jmcnrick

okay molly and I are ready for the demonstration FM

12:34 pm

carleekat

i can hear tim the tool man grunting....

12:34 pm

Atalante

12:34 pm

jmcnrick

12:35 pm

FMitch

12:35 pm

jmcnrick

12:35 pm

carleekat

12:35 pm

FMitch

12:36 pm

jmcnrick

okay a person who fa*** is a fa6/27 so why is there not a pl accepted?

12:36 pm

MollyL

I agree jmc.

12:36 pm

jmcnrick

19th century glass does not break into relatively safe little beads

12:36 pm

FMitch

cos enable doesn't like it jmc and it is the extra word on licketys list today.

12:37 pm

jmcnrick

well lickety was right!

12:38 pm

FMitch

It was after my Dad had died and Mum bought a house with 2 acres of land and so much of it was overgrown.

12:38 pm

jmcnrick

good thing dad taught you how to use power tools

12:38 pm

Atalante

ohhhhhh! I was wondering how you had a 19th century greenhouse in your current garden!!

12:38 pm

FMitch

Someone had left a dumper truck on the back bit of land and that was fun trying to drive is as it has opposed steering.

12:39 pm

jmcnrick

opposed steering?

12:39 pm

FMitch

so you had to steer left to go right.

12:39 pm

jmcnrick

steering on the left side?

12:39 pm

jmcnrick

12:39 pm

FMitch

jacq

12:42 pm

Haz1558

Thank you, jmc. However, as you can see (glaring in Ata's direction) some love to tease me.

12:42 pm

carleekat

i have never really taken notice of !! or the lack...or over use...

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

Max is the autistic chow chow

12:42 pm

carleekat

12:42 pm

jmcnrick

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

No, he ate his dinner like a champ, just had trouble getting his head in the right direction

12:43 pm

jacq

ahhhh, perhaps it is a tic, like some autistic humans get

12:43 pm

FMitch

How would you feel if we took your pruple crayon away from you car?

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

12:43 pm

carleekat

12:43 pm

Haz1558

Jillyjill

2:19 pm

redturtlehead

Flying is very unpleasant.

2:19 pm

carleekat

i love flying rth....

2:20 pm

Scrabbler

It sure is, Red. Recurrent frustration and discomfort.

2:20 pm

Jellen

Particularly when you're trying to hold the memories of a great holiday...

2:20 pm

Jillyjill

Flying down here wasn't too bad, but getting back has been a hassle, from driving in traffic to going thru security, to gate changes

2:21 pm

carleekat

finally done

2:22 pm

Scrabbler

Yippee Carlee! I finally look at the word total. This is rather big.

2:22 pm

Jellen

Huzzah and hooray for carlee!!!

I agree, Red

2:24 pm

I agree, red

2:24 pm

jacq

wtg carlee!!

2:25 pm

Uneaixoise

i agree, red

2:25 pm

Scrabbler

Red, you will appreciate this being an ED nurse. Mother brings baby in today, with numerous concerns one of which is "smelly fa5 like my husband does."

2:26 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Une

2:26 pm

Uneaixoise

LOL!!!

2:26 pm

redturtlehead

ahhh nice.

2:26 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, scrabs :-)

2:26 pm

redturtlehead

Since my last child interaction, I am really unpleased with them....

2:26 pm

redturtlehead

numerous complaints are always difficult!

2:26 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Unea

2:27 pm

Scrabbler

Does she think the baby's farts should smell like roses? Geez, there's waste material + fermenting gas in there!

2:27 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, red :-)

2:27 pm

carleekat

why is it parents freak out over the silliest of things...cripes..the kid goes through hell to get there/ here....they are pretty resilient little packages

2:28 pm

carleekat

resilliant*

2:28 pm

carleekat

anyway

2:28 pm

redturtlehead

well, you know how people gush about the "new baby smell"

2:28 pm

carleekat

i never got that when i had my kids as babies

2:28 pm

carleekat

ewwwwwwwwwww,,,,puke , spoilt milk...and babypowder..yack

2:28 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Red. We say that one of the greatest dangers to many children = their mothers. Such anxiety, fretting, micromanaging, drama--over the last 10 yrs or so. No criticism to Babble mothers at all. But we see so many Munchausen by proxy cases everyday.

2:29 pm

Uneaixoise

omg, really??

2:29 pm

carleekat

i had little kids/ babies..didnt like my own

2:29 pm

Uneaixoise

i assumed that was extremely rare

2:29 pm

redturtlehead

I think that the fretting though is not really munchausens, just anxious parenting, which robs kids of independence and learning that they can do things for themselves.

2:30 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Carlee, you understand. So much is normal--puking babies, fussiness, rashes, routine illnesses, defiance.

2:30 pm

Uneaixoise

I was thrilled when my niece finally decided it wasn't going to be fatal for her little girl to sit on the floor with my dogs

2:30 pm

carleekat

i knew a woman here whom we ( peers but not friends) thought she had maunchaussen

2:30 pm

Scrabbler

We have many kids that are in the office at least once weekly with nutty mothers requesting blood work, etc.

2:31 pm

redturtlehead

exactly. there was a man I dated for a while but I drew the line when I found out his 7 yr odl son slept in the same bed with him all the time.

2:31 pm

Uneaixoise

jeez, scrabs . . .

2:31 pm

carleekat

eventually she killed herself..we never knew if intentionally or by accident

2:31 pm

Uneaixoise

good lord!

2:31 pm

Jellen

Oh, carlee!

2:31 pm

redturtlehead

ugh

2:32 pm

Scrabbler

No boundaries between parents + kids anymore--parents are friends with their kids so don't want to say no or set limits.

2:32 pm

Jellen

That is disturbing, red...

2:32 pm

Uneaixoise

ick

2:32 pm

Scrabbler

Sorry, I am venting now. Most parents are wonderful but those loonies are scary.

2:32 pm

redturtlehead

I found it very disturbing, but its really just bad parenting, as an adult he should be teachign his son that he can be OK alone, which would take some putting kid back into his own bed a few times for a week or so...

2:33 pm

Uneaixoise

understandable, scrabs

2:33 pm

Jillyjill

Becoming friends is only for when they are on their own!!

2:33 pm

redturtlehead

Scrabb, all I emet seem to be the loonies, and kids who have typical accidents.

2:33 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Red. There is an epidemic of "wimpy parents."

2:33 pm

jacq

the scariest parents are the ones who don't care and who don't ever set boundaries

2:34 pm

Jillyjill

That was one of the things I hated about working in ED...seeing the abused children...especially the babies...

2:34 pm

carleekat

exactly...kids have lots of friends..they dont have lots of parents..be a parent

2:34 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, jacq. No guidance, no supervision, no consequences.

2:34 pm

redturtlehead

I am very tired of parent telling me they can not medicate a 3 yr old. the child is 3... you are an adult....

2:35 pm

Scrabbler

My partner who has had fo6 kids x almost 20 yrs, in addtion to 2 sons and one adopted son, took in a bro + sis (6 + 5) last wk. Child neglect. The kids protect each other and want to share bed.

2:36 pm

Scrabbler

I so admire fo6 parents!

2:36 pm

jacq

i know of one mother with 9 kids, no guidance the house is a tip, she sits and drinks and smokes all day and they run wild the oldest boy was trying to keep the kids clean, he was 9 and dropped the baby in a bath of scalding water, baby is fine thankfully but the household is still the same, social workers hands are tied because they aren't physically or sexually abused

2:36 pm

Scrabbler

Yikes, jacq!

2:37 pm

carleekat

horror stories everywhere....i know of lots of cases at the office....if the kids had have been shown even the slightest of guidance...their lives could have been so different

2:37 pm

Jillyjill

My son was married to one like that...breaks my heart to think of my stepson growing up in that... child protective had removed him, but back he went...

2:37 pm

jacq

neglect is abuse, emotional and physical neglect scar kids for life

2:38 pm

Jillyjill

all kids need is love and direction

2:38 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, it leads to alcohol + drug abuse to hide the pain, failed relationships, chronic depression, and anger which is taken out on their own kids.

2:38 pm

Uneaixoise

and consistency

2:39 pm

Jillyjill

So true...my ex dgt in law was also abused

2:39 pm

Scrabbler

Well, Moms, I must head up to the cancer ctr and do my volunteer work. I shall return to Babble this evening.

2:40 pm

Uneaixoise

later, scrabbs

2:40 pm

Scrabbler

*throwing waves & kisses*

2:40 pm

Jellen

*waves and kisses back*

2:40 pm

jacq

when i did child development i read about a king from somewhere i can't remember, who was practicing his own theories on language development, he thought that kids would develop their own language so he had a group of 20 babies put in a large room and cared for by nurses who were forbidden from speaking to the babies or singing or anything, according to records every baby died because they couldn;t thrive without contact, despite being fed and cared for in every other way

2:41 pm

Uneaixoise

:-D

2:41 pm

Scrabbler

"psychosocial neglect"--we see it in failure to thrive babies. OK, I really must poof now.

2:42 pm

jacq

bye scrabbler

2:42 pm

Jillyjill

Well, flight may board here soon, going to sign off and maybe bbl in Seattle...

4:11 pm

bethn

4:13 pm

dcseain

my niece SCREAMS if her diaper is the least damp. we're hoping she'll potty train easily and early.

4:13 pm

bethn

4:14 pm

Jellen

Hi, dc

4:14 pm

m9f9l

or you could do diaper free seain;-)

4:14 pm

dcseain

be well, bethn

4:14 pm

Jellen

Bye, beth

4:14 pm

dcseain

hi, m9 and jellen

4:14 pm

m9f9l

bye beth

4:14 pm

dcseain

well, she had a growth spurt, so now it's BIG pee diaper, plus that much again if you're not fast enough :)

4:14 pm

m9f9l

I've actually known a diaper free family.

4:15 pm

dcseain

huh. Lots of laundry then.

4:16 pm

m9f9l

nope.

4:17 pm

JBV

hi seain

4:17 pm

m9f9l

she learns her baby's cues, and the baby goes in a little pot.

4:17 pm

dcseain

hi, jbv

4:17 pm

m9f9l

and for pee..she just holds baby over sink or toilet.

4:18 pm

Jellen

brb...speaking of lots of laundry...

4:18 pm

m9f9l

oh Jellen... that's what I was going to do right when I got home.. and I forgot!

4:20 pm

JBV

m9 - can I ask you a question about FHC that may save me some money??

4:22 pm

m9f9l

what JBV?

4:22 pm

JBV

I couldn't figure it out from the website, but do I have to go to NYC to look up a birth certificate or can I do it at the FHC and will they order the microfillm for me?

4:22 pm

JBV

1907

4:22 pm

m9f9l

you order them.

4:23 pm

m9f9l

you found a record of it?

4:23 pm

JBV

no, I mean do I have to pay the $15 that NYC is asking for

4:24 pm

m9f9l

oh! Yes, if you want an actual copy from the source you usually have to pay for that.

4:24 pm

JBV

no, I want to search for it, but do I have to go to NYC to search or can I search at FHC and then order by mail from NY? (sorry I think I asked you 2 questions)

4:24 pm

m9f9l

so the image wasn't online?

4:25 pm

JBV

I don't know where to look - sorry, I'm not being clear

4:26 pm

JBV

I think I'm saying where can I search the index to the NYC municipal archives so I can find the record number, and then order by mail

4:28 pm

m9f9l

ah. that's a little trickier. You can only search at ancestry or such sites for things that have been digitally indexed. I don't know offhand if NYC records are available.

4:28 pm

JBV

oh, ok, thanks, I can go back to FHC on Saturday - they have Ancestry online there

4:31 pm

m9f9l

is it your father's?

4:31 pm

redturtlehead

4:41 pm

here's what would be cool about being psychic - if you could know what people were going to say to you in advance, then you could come up with a good pretort!

4:43 pm

jacq

lol hurshy

4:43 pm

redturtlehead

too funny!

4:44 pm

JBV

very funny and thanks, hurshy, you just gave me two words I didn't have :)

4:44 pm

redturtlehead

4:44 pm

redturtlehead

err with it.

4:44 pm

hurshy

:)

4:45 pm

m9f9l

so jbv, who's birth certificate you looking for?

4:45 pm

Aloyisius

fireworks - did anyone figure out why the grid has 249 words but Lickety's list has 250?

4:46 pm

JBV

my father's, m9 - I think if ancestry has the index, I can get the record number and then order it. My question was can FHC order the microfilm for me at no charge or do I still have to pay the $15?

4:46 pm

m9f9l

wtg aloy! lickety has an fa7 that's not on the grid

4:46 pm

redturtlehead

lickety has the fa 7.

4:46 pm

Aloyisius

ah, tyvm m9 and red

4:47 pm

m9f9l

depends.. some of those types of microfilms, the church has in their own collection. so it depends.

4:47 pm

Aloyisius

off to cook up some gourmet delight.. happy Babbling all, see you next grid!

4:47 pm

lynxxx

10:47 pm

jillibus

Whoa, jellen, that sounds good, although I'm not a Scotch fan.

J. C.

Enjoy, Jellen...

10:53 pm

jhb

Hi Christine. A whole swathe of messages arrived together. I have responded. Jean Beaton was a friend who died last year and with whom I went to Europe in about 2006.

10:53 pm

nrkii

hi all!

10:54 pm

Christine

I wonder how she got into my email addressbook?

10:54 pm

nrkii

this grid is too much for me tonight, so I'm just unlurking briefly to say howdy and to wish you all a lovely evening

10:54 pm

jhb

Small dog is asking to go out for a walk. Unfortunately for her it is pouring and while I loive her to bits I dont do rain!

10:54 pm

Christine

If I hit reply all, instead of reply, would that add a name to my address book?

10:54 pm

J. C.

Hello and a lovely evening to you, nrkii - ours was over a few hours ago. :P

10:54 pm

Christine

Hi, nrkii

10:55 pm

jhb

No but maybe I didn't delete it when I forwarded a message from her. I am usually so very careful about that.

10:56 pm

nrkii

J.C.... I've been working with teams in India for last 9 months, and have gotten used to just using "evening" and "morning" and terms like that in a very generic sense

10:56 pm

jhb

Oh yes - Christine. If I showed her name on the email and you replied all it would then have put her into your address book.

10:56 pm

nrkii

instead of substituting with even more generic, "happy whatever time of day it is for you guys there"

10:56 pm

nrkii

:)

10:56 pm

J. C.

Hahaha...

10:57 pm

nrkii

they work till about 4AM their time, and at the end of the day, I feel bad saying "good night" but what else can you say at 4AM when the work day is done?

10:57 pm

jhb

Hi nrkii - were you in India or just working with them from home?

10:58 pm

nrkii

I work in Pennsylvania, and my company has a team in India as well

10:58 pm

nrkii

so I spend most of my day on instant message and email with team members in India

11:00 pm

KoolGamer01

Hi, I'm new. I spoke before but got no reply.

11:00 pm

nrkii

okay, down to 60 and exhausted

11:01 pm

nrkii

this grid is too much for me... good night all!

11:01 pm

jhb

Hi KoolGamer01. I am new too but these guys make one feel right at home and part of the Babble family instantly.

11:02 pm

Jillyjill

Well, shouldn't have started this grid in San Fransisco as I am only now getting back to it and no chance of finishing... :(

11:02 pm

Christine

Hi, KoolGamer01

11:02 pm

KoolGamer01

Thanx jhb. Good to meet you.

11:02 pm

Pinikula

back...

11:02 pm

KoolGamer01

Hi Christine good to meet you too.

11:03 pm

Pinikula

hi Kool

11:03 pm

Pinikula

welcome to the grid, beware: you will be assimilated, resistance is futile...

11:03 pm

KoolGamer01

Hi Pinikula.

11:03 pm

jhb

Hi Pinikula - did you take your pooch for a walk? You are a better dog owner than me if you did.

11:04 pm

Pinikula

just let him out the door...kinda cold to keep him company this late

11:04 pm

KoolGamer01

I like this word game. Though I thought it would be a one on one instant match lol.

11:04 pm

Pinikula

I take him for a 10-15 minute walk when I get home from work.

11:04 pm

Christine

jhb is my sister, and we have members of other families here, and Jillibus and another discovered a possibly family relationship. If you don't have family here, we'll make you feel like part of the Babble family.

11:05 pm

Pinikula

sorry to dissappoint, kool...but we're friendly and you can chat to your heart's content and still play!

11:05 pm

jhb

Well I cant let mine out of the door unlessd she is on a long lead. She is the greatest escapologist known to man (or should that be woman).

11:05 pm

Pinikula

That's right, Christine...Jilli and I might be distant cousins (still working out the history to see where, if at all)

11:05 pm

KoolGamer01

Thanks for the rundown Christine. I appreciate it. :> )

11:06 pm

jhb

Have to agree with Pinikula - I thought I would just come in and see what went on. But it is not only addictive it's very friendly.

11:06 pm

KoolGamer01

OK Pinikul lol. Thanks.

11:06 pm

Pinikula

I try, jhb...but come the rain days, he might just have to walk himself and dry off in the garage! :) (maybe)

11:07 pm

Pinikula

11:10 pm

Christine

11:11 pm

Pinikula

11:11 pm

Christine

I still need 111 - I think I can, I think I can

11:11 pm

Pinikula

I'd love to retire...but I still have quite a few years to go :(

11:11 pm

jhb

Well I still have 100 to go. Have never finished yet - and have not mastered licket's list so think I shall retire gracefully and just chat.

11:11 pm

Pinikula

do you have any questions about the list, jhb, that we can help with?

11:11 pm

stidmama

considering making pini an olive drab camo jacket with twigs and strings hanging off it...
