ooooh no!!! When Dan had several cracked ribs, it was terribly painful, hard to breathe, move, etc. How did you fall again?

tripped and took the last 8 stairs in a few bounces off various body parts
1:17 am
VolleymomDee
I second that josh
1:19 am
VolleymomDee
aww now I remember... I remember when Lindz took a similar tumble... she only broke her foot though, no stitches, no cracked ribs... you need to be really careful about lifiing anything heavy, if you cracked ribs... you have to make sure they don't move, slide apart, or break completely

HI Babble Rabble ((hugs))
3:37 pm
lilliann
hope you feel better soon TO
3:37 pm
72 Temple Owl
what are you making, lil?
3:38 pm
Mom
Lilliann, I would use plain flour. I would use the buttermilk if it is available since it is so thick
3:38 pm
Mom
you don't taste it in the bread. (I hate buttermilk)
3:38 pm
Mom
Or you could sour regular milk
3:38 pm
Mom
I think you use vinegar for that
3:38 pm
72 Temple Owl
down to 2
3:38 pm
lilliann
banan bread TO
3:39 pm
72 Temple Owl
i think one can also use lemon
3:39 pm
lilliann
sorry i was talking to hubby
3:39 pm

what are you cooking? banana bread??
3:39 pm
Mom
Hi Mr. Lilliann
3:41 pm
lilliann
he says hi back mom :) he's busy watching masterchef!
3:41 pm
72 Temple Owl
oh no, i don't want to refresh but i think babble is not registering a word i entered
3:41 pm
lilliann
hi snags
3:41 pm
lilliann
can i use regular full fat milk or any milk?
3:41 pm
Mom
I suppose so Lillliann, I have not tried it that way before, I have always used the buttermilk
3:42 pm
Mom
but it is only 5 tablespoons, wouldn't think it would make that much difference
3:43 pm
lilliann
that's a pain in the butt (excuse french) TO, that happened to me most of the day which is why i'm having to put in words i already did!!
3:43 pm
lilliann
ok, so i'll try it with normal milk and plain flour. do i need vinegar?
3:44 pm
Mom
no I dont think i would use the vinegar, might make it taste funny
3:44 pm
Mom
I will have to try it next time with regular milk
3:45 pm
Mom
My mom loves buttermilk so I have a way of getting rid of what I don't use.
3:45 pm
cybernan
di 8, please?
3:45 pm
Mom
What do you think TO? Do you think Lilliann would be ok to use just regular milk in the bread?
3:46 pm
Mom
there's a di 8? Oh geez. Hi Nan, sorry I don't have it
3:46 pm
BabbleRabble
which di 8?
3:46 pm
72 Temple Owl
welll i entered every mo6 and had them all so here goes...what't that,mom? hat are you making?
3:46 pm
cybernan
there is only one in lickety's list
3:47 pm
lilliann
well we drink semi and skimmed milk here, i use to drink soya milk but stopped as at the time hubby lost job and we couldn't afford it as it is alot more expensive than dairy milk and i never went back. plus i don't drink alot of milk now, just cook with it
3:47 pm
Mom
Banana Bread. The recipe calls for 5 tbs buttermilk. Lilliann want to know if using regular milk would be ok
3:47 pm
BabbleRabble
extend the di 7 -- -great dislike
3:47 pm
snags
probably, but you can sour it with vinegar
3:48 pm
BabbleRabble
wrong one __ _
3:48 pm
lilliann
so it needs to be sour?
3:48 pm
cybernan
are you looking at the de's babrab?
3:48 pm
72 Temple Owl
does it have leavening? i think the acid works to leaven, with naking soda instead of baking powder. but i agree with snags

5:57 pm
BabbleRabble
the red menace was active.
5:57 pm
MollyL
I would have said sh*t fits, but then we all know I have no couth.
5:57 pm
Soodlebum
When I tried to log in earlier, I got a message saying the server was having temper tantrums. I had visions of a 3 year old server laying on the floor, flaying its arms and legs.
5:58 pm
Soodlebum
Em..flailing...
5:58 pm
cosdem

5:58 pm
jmcnrick

jmcnrick

5:59 pm
Soodlebum

MollyL

MollyL
Jmb, you can turn the chat off if it's bothering you.
6:08 pm
jmbdobie2
akkk problems adding words.... not you all. Too many words sre too distracting. i need to focus on small areas.
6:09 pm
MollyL
That's why I just pick at these big ones, like a big bowl of popcorn I know I won't finish.
6:09 pm
Soodlebum
Surely you have been decrowned, Moll, rather than defrocked? .....Or are you just looking for an excuse to frolic unclad in the chog?
6:10 pm
MollyL
No, the greedy Queen JMC has taken back my Jester attire. Fickle she is, very fickle. I shall go find another Monarch to entertain.
6:11 pm
Soodlebum
...(I still think Moll wants to frolic naked in the chog)....
6:12 pm
MollyL
No, actually I stopped stripping in front of people around the age of 4.

6:19 pm
cosdem
confused. when i enter a word in expert it goes to the list and grid at the same time
6:19 pm
lilliann

6:19 pm
Mom

jmbdobie2
31o left... all vowels found ...bbl
6:41 pm
uusue2
He really has, Soodle. He served in the army in WWII, in New Guinea and the Philippines (behind the front lines; never really saw combat).
6:41 pm
lilliann
that's only because of all the problemd mom, i should have finished lunchtime (brit time) now it's nearly iam as i'm having to go through my list!!
6:42 pm
Mom

6:43 pm
Soodlebum
Jeepers, Sue. He must be such good company, with such tales to tell. My Grandfather fought in The Somme in WW1, but refused to speak about his experiences. When I was a kid, that always puzzled me, but now I understand.
6:43 pm
lilliann
i'm seeing words, words words!!! oh god i need help! i have the words but can't see them!!
6:44 pm
MollyL
Sue, I could sit and listen to your Dad tell stories all night. I love hearing about the way the world was before I came here.
6:44 pm
Soodlebum
'nother glass of wine, Lillann....
6:44 pm
MollyL
*Passes Lilliann a sedative*
6:44 pm
Mom
can I help you Lilliann?
6:45 pm
uusue2
He's writing his memoirs, which make really interesting reading (at least to me, since they're about my family). My partner has read them, and my son wants to read them too. (He's up to the end of WWII now :-)
6:45 pm
Soodlebum
Sedative/Wine Wine/Sedative same difference!
6:45 pm
lilliann
no, i need slerp!! hubby kept me up all last night snoring and then chuffing cat wanting to sleep on or near me!!
6:45 pm
MollyL
By the way, for all you people who bought that blarney about how Soodle isn't on the beer tonight...notice she ONLY mentioned beer.
6:46 pm
cosdem
R's done!!
6:46 pm
lilliann
sue, that sounds great! i love reading peoples true life stories
6:46 pm
MollyL
Alert! Alert! Lilliann needs a slerp!
6:46 pm
BabbleRabble
Wars are terrible things ... I wish those who start them had to be in the front lines.
6:47 pm
uusue2
I agree, BR.
6:47 pm
Soodlebum
Sue, my uncle wrote a book about his experiences as a policeman in the Murder Squad in Ireland. Very interesting and all that, but the beginning of the book focused on his childhood, parents etc, which was all new to me.... It was a strange feeling reading about my own flesh and blood in a best-seller. Bizzare.
6:47 pm
MollyL
BR, that would be a very quick way to end war entirely.
6:47 pm
Soodlebum
I'm with you 100% there, BabbleRabble.
6:48 pm
uusue2
that would be weird, Soodle :-)
6:48 pm
lilliann
soodle, can we get that book?

7:25 pm
cosdem
after refreshing 10 times
7:25 pm
dcseain
hi, zooz, lilliann, cos, et al
