12:59 am

wondering what I missed...
12:59 am
cybernan

nothing too overpowering dee or you lose the taste of the turkey.
12:59 am
rururocks

white pepper, thyme, sage, powdered garlic,
12:59 am
cybernan

are you making turkey soup from scratch?
12:59 am
dcseain

lovage is great with turkey, as are thyme and rosemary and marjoram and sage
1:00 am
VolleymomDee

so far... onions, celery, carrots, teeny bit of garlic, pepper, salt, turkey, rice, carrots, canned tomatoes... yes nan
1:00 am
cybernan

have you made the stock yet?
1:00 am
VolleymomDee

forgot the thyme, rosemary, marjoram... not fond of sage...
1:00 am
VolleymomDee

yes
1:00 am
VolleymomDee

leftover from Thksg
1:01 am
rururocks

rosemary is a bit too strong for turkey
1:01 am
VolleymomDee

how about marjoram?
1:01 am
cybernan

I think all you need to add is basil, a couple of bay leaves and some parsley
1:01 am
rururocks

(tiny bit of sage dee.. just a tiny bit)
1:01 am
dcseain

yes, sage can overpower if too much
1:01 am
VolleymomDee

saw one recipe with cumin but that seemed aggressive... ok ru... you have never steered me wrong yet
1:02 am
VolleymomDee

yum nan that sounds good, too... decisions, decisions
1:02 am
VolleymomDee

oh, I do have parsley already
1:02 am

yes with tomatoes the basil is a good call
1:03 am
VolleymomDee

k, so vote is basil? Should I use marjoram, too?
1:03 am
cybernan

If you do, don't use much -- it is also very overpowering
1:04 am
VolleymomDee

sounds good... we like marjoram and basil in spaghetti sauce...

I only know that because we have a Michelin factory near here who help to sponsor RDA and who used to send along a man dressed up in an air-conditioned Bibbendum suit to present prizes. The horses weren't impressed.

I bet he spooked the horses!

dfm needs to shut his mind to babble and apply himself to the paper.
3:55 am

Shocking!

I have a husband and a daughter who always work to the limit of the deadline. My other daughter and I get things done before they are due. Neither of us can understand the others' way of working.
3:58 am
Haz1558

Old in the most positive sense of the word....
3:58 am
FMitch

lol
3:59 am
Haz1558

Did she evenutally go and make the waffles or did she just get cross at herself for having mentioned the word waffle?
3:59 am
dfmchfhf

I usually (key word: usually) get 80% of something do4 in the first 10% of the time... then forget about it until the last 10 of the time I have x.x
4:00 am
dfmchfhf

*last 10%
4:01 am
Haz1558

I don't know what I do but I get things do4. With the honourable exception of anything involving needles and thread.
4:01 am
dfmchfhf

she stopped speaking after a while :o/
I presume to make waffles, but that assumption may be erroneous.
4:02 am
Haz1558

She may have fallen asleep again.
4:02 am
FMitch

or got fed up with you telling her to go and make waffles :)
4:03 am
Haz1558

Any troll activity last night?
4:03 am
dfmchfhf

yaay, my introduction is now within +200% of the word limit.
4:03 am
dfmchfhf

Didn't notice any, but I may have been asleep.
4:04 am
FMitch

HAven't seen or heard of any for about 24 hours .
4:04 am
Haz1558

That's good, he/she/they may have moved on.

I missed the big kerfuffle a few days ago but the ones I have seen are nothing like the ones we used to get.
4:06 am
Haz1558

No, thank goodness.

lynxxx

What have I been missing? Hello all
4:06 am
dfmchfhf

hi lyn! :o)
4:06 am
FMitch

Good evening lynxxx
4:06 am
Haz1558

Hello, lynxxx. We've been trying to encourage dfm to knuckle down to his work.
4:07 am
dfmchfhf

redacting a 3500-word introduction to 500 words isn't fun though x.x
down to 1200... can't see it getting much shorter...
4:07 am
FMitch

Will you stop using the w word Haz and reminding me what I too should be doing.
4:08 am
Haz1558

I'd start again. Think what you want your introduction to say (it's an introduction, not the whole piece) and say it in short, snappy, grammatically correct manner.
4:08 am
lynxxx

some-one pass the boy Carlee's purple highlighter!
4:08 am
FMitch

dfm have you written the rest of the paper yet or just the intro?
4:09 am
zoozzoom

Phantom: Condolence.
4:09 am
zoozzoom

Hello, All :-)
4:09 am
Haz1558

Sometimes it's easier to start again than to try to rip up what you've already done. The ideas are there, it's just a question of being disciplined.
4:09 am
Haz1558

Hello, zooz!
4:09 am
FMitch

Morning zooz :)
4:09 am
lynxxx

hi Zooz!
4:10 am
zoozzoom

Thankfully only the odd snow shower that lasts about two mins..nothing settled at all.
4:10 am
dfmchfhf

hi zooz! :o)
4:10 am
FMitch

How is it over on the IoW?
4:11 am
dfmchfhf

Just the intro... and the conclusion... apparently I misunderstood the topic and thus my original body (which also exceeded word limits -.-) is invalid :o(
4:11 am
FMitch

oh thats good zooz
4:12 am
Haz1558

That's disappointing, dfm.
4:14 am
Haz1558

So, is the whole thing to be rewritten?
4:14 am
FMitch

What is the topic dfm?
4:14 am
dfmchfhf

approximately...
4:15 am
Haz1558

I bet we won't even understand the title.
4:15 am
FMitch

Probably, but I had compelling urge to ask.
4:16 am
Haz1558

I know, showing interest is polite. And who knows, it might be right up our street?
4:16 am
Haz1558

It won't be an appreciation of Elvis Presley, I know that much.
4:17 am
Haz1558

He hadn't heard of him until yesterday.
4:17 am
dfmchfhf

it's supposed to be an analysis and reflection of learning styles (i.e. Stirling's and Fleming's VARK system) and how it applies to the co-op (and university classroom) environment.
4:17 am
Haz1558

I'm awfully fond of Stirling, myself.
4:17 am
Haz1558

Lovely castle.
4:17 am
dfmchfhf

I wrote an explication instead :o(
4:17 am
FMitch

LOL
4:19 am
FMitch

Start again dfm pick out an salient points you had in your intro and get stuck in.
4:19 am
FMitch

*any not an
4:20 am
Haz1558

Well, dfm, I can offer no help on the topic, but FM is right.
4:21 am
Haz1558

Don't allow yourself to find any more babble words until that intro is done.
4:22 am
dfmchfhf

I can so4 of morph and squeeze the explication into an analysis... I think...
4:22 am
FMitch

and that is lecture time over. Do you realise I haven't put a single word in the grid yet! sheesh.
4:22 am
Haz1558

Actually, we should be refusing to talk to you. We should be sending you to temporary Coventry and boycotting you.
4:23 am
Haz1558

Anyone know the origin of the word boycott? Five points are on offer.
4:23 am
FMitch

from the cricketer.
4:23 am
FMitch

?
4:23 am
Haz1558

No!
4:24 am
FMitch

darn
4:24 am
dfmchfhf

I know! >.>
4:24 am
Haz1558

Tut, tut, you haven't been doing your Irish history lessons.
4:24 am
Haz1558

Sing out, dfm.
4:24 am
FMitch

Do enlighten us as dfm is NOT allowed to partipate.
4:24 am
FMitch

Haz, he is supposed to be working!
4:25 am
zoozzoom

a landlord agent.
4:25 am
Haz1558

Is he not? zooz or lynxxx, any wisdom from your end?
4:25 am
dfmchfhf

Charles Boycott :o)
4:25 am
Haz1558

But if we allow him to explain and make him promise to work after that?
4:25 am
zoozzoom

some who collects rent.
4:25 am
FMitch

oh you are too soft
4:26 am
Haz1558

Excellent, we're on the way to an explanation. Captain Boycott, land agent. Where? Which century?
4:26 am
FMitch

I have no idea so I will just watch and learn.
4:26 am
zoozzoom

1880
4:27 am
dfmchfhf

late something-teen hundreds... seven? eight?
Ireland
4:28 am
Haz1558

Ireland, yes, Co Mayo. He tried to undermine Parnell's system of land reform and what did the natives do?
4:28 am
FMitch

become restless?
4:28 am
Haz1558

Very restless, but specifically?
4:28 am
Haz1558

It's like dragging blood from a stone.
4:29 am
Haz1558

Or pulling hens' teeth.
4:29 am
zoozzoom

lol
4:29 am
FMitch

someone put me out of my misery!
4:29 am
dfmchfhf

natives? o.0
4:29 am
zoozzoom

demanded a reduction in their rents.
4:30 am
Haz1558

They refused to cooperate with him. Wouldn't serve him in shops, wouldn't work for him, wouldn't deliver letters.
4:30 am
Haz1558

It was the first instance of a boycott - refusal to work or associate with someone.
4:30 am
zoozzoom

they did a boycott :-)
4:31 am
Haz1558

Exactly, zooz.
4:32 am
Haz1558

So, now you know. History lesson completed and have you started your introduction, dfm?
4:32 am
zoozzoom

So who got the 5 points..lol
4:32 am
FMitch

Suddenly I have this love of Stirling's and Fleming's VARK system, I'm sure it would be less painful.
4:32 am
dfmchfhf

>.> in the process of writing it
4:33 am
Haz1558

I think the 5 points would have to be shared.
4:33 am
Haz1558

And I'd retain most of them!
4:33 am
FMitch

The quiz mistress can not retain points for her own benefit.
4:33 am
zoozzoom

lol
4:34 am
Haz1558

You're such a stickler for the rules.
4:34 am
FMitch

:) I see that Gillian Mcthingy has been evicted from the jungle.
4:35 am
zoozzoom

Thank goodness.
4:35 am
Haz1558

Do you know, I haven't watched a single minute of it, but the papers have been giving reports. She's not exactly endeared herself to the nation, it would seem.
4:35 am
FMitch

HAven't been watching the show but from clips I've seen am amazed she lasted so long.
4:36 am
Haz1558

And I love the McThing name, that sums her up.
4:36 am
zoozzoom

Put it this way, i would not want to eat at her house..lol
4:36 am
Haz1558

No, she's always come across as a bit strident. The sort you'd want to boycott.
4:36 am
zoozzoom

lol
4:36 am
dfmchfhf

I'd ask who that is, but... busy!
4:36 am
FMitch

lol
4:37 am
zoozzoom

she also sews food items into her knickers.
4:37 am
Haz1558

Wee shrewish sc5 woman.
4:37 am
FMitch

how hygenic
4:37 am
Haz1558

That's one way of making sure nobody asks for a share.
4:39 am
lynxxx

I keep coming back into 'strange' conversations
4:39 am
zoozzoom

They other so called stars knew whe was putting extras into the food, to make it taste nice. But did not know it was from her knickers..LOL
4:39 am
zoozzoom

4:39 am
Haz1558

Poor lynxxx, it's what happens when you chat with Brits.
4:40 am
FMitch

WE were talking about "Im a Celebrity, get me out of here"
4:40 am
Haz1558

Or 'I'm in need of television work, I'll do anything for publicity, lock me in a fake jungle to let me annoy everyone'
4:40 am
zoozzoom

Finding this grid rather nice, found 111 words already.
4:41 am
lynxxx

I have managed to avoid that one - something about the title warned me
4:41 am
Haz1558

You are a wise woman, lynxxx. You might be fit to join with FM's and my wise old biddies club.
4:42 am
Haz1558

FM doesn't like the title, that's a bit of a problem.
4:42 am
FMitch

Im not old!
4:43 am
Haz1558

Nor am I! We're just mature in thought.
4:43 am
lynxxx

Haz is just getting ready to be a 'gran'
4:43 am
dfmchfhf

you're both older than I am ;o)
4:43 am
FMitch

and by default that makes you not old either Haz and lynxxx is a spring chicken.
4:43 am
Haz1558

Do you know something I don't, lynxxx?
4:43 am
zoozzoom

you could substitute the `old` for `ole` :-)
4:44 am
lynxxx

you are old when shop assisants start calling you madam
4:44 am
FMitch

darn, I just thought they were being polite.
4:44 am
Haz1558

Oh well, that's a while off - here, the ones I know call me by my name!
4:45 am
Haz1558

Phone...
4:46 am
FMitch

yup we are older than you dfm but the joy is we do not have to battle with meeting a dealine for a paper. WE have been there done that and already got the qualifications.
4:46 am
lynxxx

won't accept dosh
4:47 am
FMitch

my caps lock is getting very choosy on what letters to stick on.
4:47 am
FMitch

I'll accept dosh lynxxx :)
4:47 am

on laptop?
4:48 am
lynxxx

I would too!
4:49 am

no on cheap keyboard - I have to have a proper keyboard.
4:49 am
lynxxx

come on - you can change
4:50 am
Eva

good morning everyone. I feel that my day has been justified by learning where "boycott" came from. And yes, amen to be old enough to probably never had to hand in another paper in one's life!!
4:50 am
FMitch

LOL and greetings dear Eva!
4:50 am
lynxxx

This from some-one who's calculator even had a paper roll in it
4:50 am
lynxxx

hi Eva
4:51 am
FMitch

How are you Eva and of course I must ask after Merp too :)
4:51 am
Eva

I liked those old calculators. They made such a satisfying sound. You really felt you were getting somewhere. They should program that sound into the new calculators. I'm fine...just wondering what I'm doing up for hours in the blackness of the winter morning. Merp is snoring at my feet having already tried once to take a chunk out of me this morning.
4:52 am
zoozzoom

Hello, Eva :-)
4:52 am
lynxxx

Oh dear, still doing that
4:52 am
Eva

Hi everyone. How are all of you this morning? Is it bleak and chilly where you are?
4:53 am
dfmchfhf

hi Eva :o)
4:53 am
FMitch

I remember the 'calculators' where you keyed the numbers and commands in on what looked like a cash register and then pulled the handle down to make the calculation.
4:53 am
lynxxx

Not down here - very pleasant weather
4:53 am
zoozzoom

Yes cold, lots of snow in parts of the UK.
4:53 am
Eva

yes-exactly FM. And they would go "katching"
4:54 am
lynxxx

Hey - I worked one of those when in the Bank - my first job!

Eva

I
4:55 am
Eva

I'd love to be in Australia right now. But can't stand the process of getting there. Could you maybe nudge it a bit closer?
4:55 am
FMitch

I think I must have worked at some archaic companies before I found silicone valley.
4:56 am
lynxxx

Also worked on a ledger machine - at least you could fix broken bits with paper clips. That won't work on modern day laptops/computers
4:56 am
lynxxx

I'll get out the paddles Eva
4:56 am
Haz1558

Good morning, Eva - I'm just back from my phone call but have to take a break. I'll be back shortly...
4:56 am
Eva

and thwacking things no longer makes them work
4:57 am
Eva

4:57 am
FMitch

that is true Eva but sometimes it is very satisfying.
4:58 am
Eva

Thwacking a Macbook could be quite costly
4:58 am
FMitch

lol true
4:58 am
Eva

maybe if I turn on my light box I'll feel less like something from the ooze
5:00 am

there. Now I'm being enlightened.

Zooz - I still have that suet site you pointed me to. Would you make suet pastry for mince tarts or is that an overkill?
5:08 am
zoozzoom

Yeah might be ok, but would not be nice light & crumbly.
5:09 am
lynxxx

OK sounds like I should just do my old one - thanks

Speaking of foxes, have you ever seen/heard a red fox bark/call/howl or whatever it is they do? I believe there's a youtube video and it's the freakiest thing ever.
10:41 am

It is the female fox that makes the most scariest sound when she calls for her mate.
10:42 am
cgw8

Ok, yeah, that's what I was thinking of. It's like something out of your nightmares. D:
10:42 am

I didn't know that about foxes
10:42 am
FMitch

Have to feel sorry for the male fox when they mate but that is a whole other story.
10:42 am
cgw8

Dude, I'm gonna see if I can find a youtube video of it. It's scaryyyy. D:
10:43 am

I feel sorry for preying mantis males when the mate. o.o
10:43 am

11:38 am
EvaNadine

sammich was SUPPOSED to have grilled turkey + swiss with russian dressing and cole slaw. i asked for them to add avocado.
i come back to turkey (it wasnt hot by the time i got back) with avocado and tomato.
no slaw, no cheese, no dressing.
11:38 am

11:39 am

hi Haz

11:40 am
cgw8

Dude.
11:40 am
EvaNadine

i never knew "with avocado" = "without everything else"
11:40 am
crosshair

make up about 8 of your different favorite sammiches on post it notes.go to the camera shop,get them laminated and keep them in your desk to give to the deli
11:41 am
crosshair

lol,but it is harder if it is one of their own they are messing up:((
11:41 am
EvaNadine

yknow, now that i think about it... i think a gal a few people behind me ordered plain turkey with tomato + avocado.
i bet they gave me hers...
11:42 am
crosshair

sounds like it then
11:42 am
EvaNadine

hope she likes swiss, russian + slaw!
11:42 am

Good morning, all. I suppose I should not have read the headlines on MSN before coming here. Now I'm all bummed out. Hence the change of icon.
11:51 am
Haz1558

Hello, Judi.
11:51 am
cgw8

Hi. What was the headline?
11:53 am
Judi

Uhg. Two actually that were particularly awful. A father in Michigan who (most likely) murdered his three young sons then failed at his own suicide. The other was a grandmother who threw her todler grandaughter over a railing at a mall. Child fell six stories to her death.
11:53 am
Haz1558

Awful, Judi.
11:54 am
cgw8

Oh my god. That's so depressing. D:
11:54 am
MollyL

Lets all practice random acts of kindness to balance that stuff out. Nice icon Judi.
11:54 am
Judi

So, I'm suggesting that everyone go out and perform some acts of kindness today. Let's try to restore each others faith in humanity.
11:55 am
cgw8

Good idea. :D
11:55 am
EvaNadine

speaking of random acts of kindness, i love this gal and her site:
http://www.secretagentl.com/
11:55 am
Haz1558

It's horrendous to know what people are capable of doing when the mind is unbalanced.
11:58 am
Judi

Anyone who murders a child most certainly must be possessed by the Devil himself.
12:03 pm
MollyL

Eva, that's a great web site. She must have a lot of fun doing those kinds of things.
12:05 pm
EvaNadine

molly -- she used to actually keep her identity a secret, but her little project has exploded to epic proportions, so she finally revealed her identity. but she still keeps those of her affiliated agents a mystery!
and people have performed little acts of kindness all over the WORLD in her name. its amazing!
12:06 pm
Judi

That is very cool. Paying it forward. Way to go.
12:08 pm
Judi

My connection keeps bonking on me here.
12:13 pm
MollyL

When I win the lottery, I have a non-profit I want to start and I'd like to keep it anonymous. But people tell me that once it takes off, it would be hard to keep that way.
12:14 pm
MollyL

I accidentally performed a random act of kindness last month when I forgot to take my 20 dollars cash back at the grocery store. I hope someone who really needed the money found it.

Hello, Dorens.
12:18 pm
EvaNadine

i tried to perform a nice act of kindness here at work, but people were SO cynical about it.
why are we so jaded?
12:19 pm
Haz1558

Maybe it's because they keep getting the wrong sandwich from that shop.
12:19 pm
Haz1558

That's bound to affect them.
12:21 pm
Dorens


my job is just so insane today - i am grateful for the peace of the grid
12:21 pm

heh, maybe thats it, haz.
12:21 pm
Haz1558

It's quite peaceful in here today, Dorens and a nice grid as well.
12:21 pm

getting the wrong sandwich can be quite disturbing
12:22 pm

hello hello :)
12:22 pm
Dorens

hi there ata!
12:22 pm
MollyL

Eva, that's like when you smile and say hello to a cute child in the store and the parents look at you like you are some kind of pervert.
12:22 pm
EvaNadine

i (anonymously) left inspiring notes in the ladies room...
when i came back into the office, people were more or less saying "what kinda weirdo does that?"
thankfully, they didnt know it was me, but i was surprised it made such an impression on them -- just not the kind of impression i was hoping to make!
12:22 pm
Haz1558

Hello! Getting warmed up, Ata?
12:23 pm
Atalante

just about!
12:25 pm

Eva, I wish I worked in your building. I would have thought that is the coolest thing.
12:27 pm
EvaNadine

i thought it was kinda fun. but now i know to leave my RAKs *outside* the workplace...heh
12:28 pm
Haz1558

When you say 'inspiring' what sort of inspiring do you mean? 'Let's work hard, girls' or 'Chocolate in each hand = balanced diet'
12:29 pm

Sorry for my lapse. Had to restart. I think the US Govt. is screwing up the whole web while they try to thwart WikiLeaks. Oy.

Yes, Wikileaks has hit the headlines over here.
12:30 pm
Dorens

or "Remember the Little Engine that Could... I think I can, I think I can!"
12:30 pm
Judi

Sorry to hear your RAK's weren't well received at work, Eva. Jaded co-workers probably think you're trying to suck up or want something in return.
12:30 pm
EvaNadine

haz, for example, i left a note on the mirror that said "you are beautiful"
12:31 pm
FMitch

wb Judi and by the way bonking is not a computer term - it has a whole different meaning over here *grin*

Evening all.
12:31 pm
Judi

Funny, Dorens. I was thinking of "that little old ant. What makes him think he can move that rubber tree plant?"
12:31 pm
EvaNadine

FM, would bonking be akin to shagging?
;)
12:31 pm
Judi

Of course it does, FM. Just like snogging. Although, I think that's a UK original.
12:31 pm
Haz1558

When I was a teenager snogging meant not going "all the way".

12:33 pm

Snogging is a wet kind of kissing, though, FM.
12:33 pm

*dissapointed*
12:34 pm

snogging = kissing in the rain
12:34 pm
Sally-catlover

Here in mid Wales we had about 2 inches of snow on Saturday night and another inch last night. Severe weather warning for today/tonight but think it must be bnorth and east of me
4:07 pm
stidmama

it's rainy here, and gusting some pretty big wind from the southeast which is unusual at our house
4:08 pm

I only JUST emailed off my final final version of the proposal for the master's project to my faculty advisor...
4:09 pm
Mom

well done Stid
4:09 pm
Glantarell

woo hoo - ridiculous joy that the north of engkland has iot worse LOL -we've been down to -14C for the last 3 nights, hope it's warmer tonight - we don't usually get this cold until January, if at all
4:09 pm
stidmama

thanks Mom! Glad to have that finally off my chest.
4:09 pm
stidmama

oh that is so cold....
4:10 pm
Mom

I imagine you are
4:10 pm
Mom

Stid, are you still making that horrible drive?
4:10 pm
stidmama

we were feeling awfully chilly last week, and I think it was only down to about -10
4:10 pm
stidmama

no Mom, that ended Nov 10. *relieved look* I am so glad!
4:11 pm
Mom

I hope you are talking celcius Stid
4:11 pm
Soodlebum

Stid - did you use the words 'Just' and '-10' in hte same sentence?
4:11 pm
Mom

oh good, I hated that you had to make that drive
4:11 pm
Glantarell

The temperature is pretty poor for the time of year here. I have a 34 mile drive to work, over a mountain pass, have not driven in for last 2 days.
4:11 pm
mo

it is the worst weather we have had here in the 16 years we have been here!!!
4:11 pm
stidmama

when I do my next student teaching in the spring it will A) be a LOT nearer home, and B) in the opposite direction! LOL
4:11 pm
stidmama

yes, Mom -- our home runs in C
4:11 pm
Mom

good deal Stid
4:11 pm
Mom

okay
4:12 pm
Soodlebum

Ditto Mo. I bought solid fuel at the beginning of November, thinking it would last til February. I had to go and buy more this afternoon. :-(
4:12 pm
stidmama

the distance doesn't seem too awful, but mountain pass wouldn't be any fun at all right now!
4:13 pm
stidmama

oh gee soodles! (is solid fuel peat, or coal?) *Innocent mama look*
4:13 pm
mo

and they say it is "GLOBAL WARMING" PHOOEY!!!!
4:13 pm
Mom

two innocent looks
4:13 pm
stidmama

they have finally closed the northernmost pass in Washington... LOL
4:13 pm
Glantarell

No, the mountain pass is not good in the snow. For most people, a 34 mile commute is a lomg way LOLbut we are talking windy roads here.
4:14 pm
Soodlebum

A combination of both, Stid.... I have oil central heating,but my kitchen is very big, and is heated by a solid fuel stove. So I use turf and coal.
4:14 pm
stidmama

LOL mo -- would be better termed "global climactic instability" some places are much much hotter than normal, and at the wrong times of the year
4:14 pm
Glantarell

I think the current phrase is 'climate change'
4:14 pm
stidmama

*wonders what burning turf smells like* around here we use wood -- but I don't have a wood stove
4:14 pm
Mom

**dreamng of a very big kitchen**
4:15 pm
stidmama

I dream of someday adding a room to the house and putting in a really big wood-burning cookstove.

well, where we live we have propane trucked in, and use that for all heating needs -- hot water, cooking, furnace. AND we have a generator that runs off propane to power the house (and the well) if the power dies. But I would feel more self-sufficient with a wood stove as well. Also, the house would be drier. We have serious mold issues up here.

6:54 pm
Kaplan the Magne

6:54 pm
redturtlehead

JBV is such a love, I really hate that she and her husband went through all that they did.
6:54 pm
MollyL

I was too busy mad crushing on Captain Von Trapp to notice Rolf.
6:55 pm
Kaplan the Magne

6:55 pm
MollyL

I'm glad she has friends here too. As someone who has been where she's at, I can tell you that words of support are a blessing.
6:56 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Seeing that movie as an adult- it's kind of whacky. Like the wedding scene when the chorus starts singing How do you solve a problem like Maria in the cathedral.
6:56 pm
Kaplan the Magne

We had a moment of silence this morning.
6:56 pm
Kaplan the Magne

The Curtains, Maria!
6:57 pm
Kaplan the Magne

This is a bizarre conversation. Typical chogbabble.
6:57 pm

6:58 pm
redturtlehead

Seeing the movie as an adult, I was much more aware of the actual situation involving Nazi's and such... I dont know how but I missed it..when I was ten.
6:58 pm
MollyL

The Von Trapp children DO NOT WEAR PLAY CLOTHES!!! *Cue smoke to come out of Christopher Plummer's ears*
6:58 pm
m9f9l

yes.. they get married and you think.. that was a nice movie... and then there's a whole 'nother part!
6:59 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I've been reading about the real Maria- it sounds like she was kind of crazy-
6:59 pm
redturtlehead

My favorite part now is when the Nuns show the car parts...
6:59 pm
m9f9l

There was 'a statue of Liberty', which looked scarey, and a 'finding Nemo' with a glow in the dark tip (Nemo was the tip). I think, if I saw that advanced towards me glowing in the dark, I would dissolve with a fit of the giggles.

Hi Nef.

Nef

Jac, I was driving to work several years ago and noticed how many vehicles had intimidating names: Ram Charger, Talon, Firebird, etc. I decided right then and there that if the car companies wanted an intimidating name, they should make a silver one (with doors like the Delarion -sp?) and call it a speculum

My ex, with large camera slung around his neck, was about to go into the Men's Room, when he collided gently with another man also on his way in there. The other man said, 'Sorry!' and then went to go through the door, my Ex said, 'I'm coming in with you!' Then, realising what he'd said, backpedalled a bit and said, 'Well, not actually WITH you.' The last thing daughter and myself heard, as they disappeared through the door was the other man saying, 'Well, it WASN'T an invitation!' Cue laughter outside for us two the needed repairs to eye makeup afterwards. When Ex returned and saw us gasping, he told us that the other man didn't stand 'in a stall' by him, but went into a cubicle. 'Can't say I blame him!' I said.
