jillibus

smom, you need Babble Expert

1:26 am

sammysmom

1:27 am

jillibus

BabbleExpert is a wonderful thing Lickety made for PCs, where everything is on one page and there is a "Lickety Add" box where if you type one word it goes to both lists, and if you type more than one it goes to the chat. There are other goodies too, like a link to morewords above the grid in the Resources tab. It's free -- just email Lickety and ask for it.

1:29 am

flosey

your cake looks delicious jilli, have copied the recipe

1:29 am

jillibus

hmmm, too bad!

1:32 am

jillibus

more family visiting?

1:35 am

flosey

no, but grandson said he'd love to come out himself next year - maybe bring a buddy

1:36 am

jillibus

wouldn't that be great!

1:36 am

flosey

I know this one buddy and he'd fit in very well

1:37 am

jillibus

42 left -- once through Lickety's list.

1:38 am

flosey

hubby must have left something open, have just battled with at least a dozen moths

1:38 am

jillibus

Time for the banana and milk

1:39 am

jillibus

We seem to be having an inundation of moths around here these days! I find dozens stuck to screens.

1:39 am

flosey

yes, me too

1:40 am

flosey

and banging against the windows

1:40 am

flosey

(unscreened ones)

1:43 am

jillibus

That cat who bit me is breaking my heart. He was at the living room window crying and miaowing to come in tonight. All the lights in his house are out so he can't go home. He spends most days on my deck. I can't let him in because I can't trust him any more but I feel for the poor guy and would love to be able to cuddle him.

1:44 am

flosey

that is awkward, poor thing, but I'm with you, sure don't want another battle there

1:45 am

jillibus

It wasn't even a battle. I was just walking toward my front door and he was following me and just suddenly bit my leg.

1:47 am

jillibus

That was on June 16 and it still hasn't completely healed.

1:47 am

flosey

wow, over a month

1:48 am

flosey

I just heard something interesting, for a mosquito bite, put a dab of toothpaste on to relieve the itch

1:49 am

flosey

just discovered an itchy bite - not mosquito, but tried it and it worked

1:49 am

jillibus

Nice! Must try that next time I get a bite, but mosquitos are rare here.

1:49 am

sammysmom

household ammonia also works well even witch hazel

1:50 am

flosey

thanks s'smom

1:50 am

jillibus

I have some of that AfterBite, which is mostly ammonia I think.

1:50 am

flosey

and not as noticable as a blob of toothpaste

1:50 am

sammysmom

yes jil , it is

1:50 am

jillibus

well, it depends what's at hand

1:50 am

sammysmom

teed

1:51 am

flosey

is that in a small tube with a roll on end jilli?

1:51 am

jillibus

yes flosey.

1:51 am

flosey

about the size of lipstick but thinner?

1:51 am

flosey

and blue

1:52 am

jillibus

oh no, much bigger.

1:52 am

flosey

oh, I have a small one and it works well too

1:52 am

flosey

carry it in my purse

1:53 am

flosey

am going to tour the house to see if anything has been left oopen

1:53 am

jillibus

And white with red writing -- it's about 5" long.

1:54 am

jillibus

Hmm -- I've never seen the one you describe.

1:56 am

jillibus

Going to get that banana...

1:57 am

ursh

hello all - male vervet monkey sitting on my roof declaring territory - very african sound - quite nice actually

1:57 am

sammysmom

2:07 am

jillibus

2:12 am

Jivingjenny0

please could some kind person clue the 8s

2:13 am

flosey

2:14 am

flosey

2:14 am

jillibus

2:15 am

jillibus

ha6 is h + the missile William Tell used

2:16 am

jillibus

2:16 am

Jivingjenny0

2:17 am

flosey

2:17 am

jillibus

glad to help, but now I must head for bed. Goodnight/day all...*poof

2:17 am

Jivingjenny0

3:24 am

rubyfoo

good morning

3:24 am

rubyfoo

everybody or anybody?

3:25 am

ursh

hi ruby

3:25 am

rubyfoo

hello ursh

3:25 am

rubyfoo

are you entering spring yet?

3:26 am

sprite

morning all

3:26 am

rubyfoo

3:26 am

ursh

well we have had a very cold winter for Durban but I see the weaver birds are starting to strip the palm leaves for nests - so must be getting there

3:27 am

ursh

hello sprite

3:27 am

rubyfoo

I am surprised to hear that it was so cold in Durban. I thought that, somehow, the Indian Ocean kept the coast warm

3:27 am

rubyfoo

but no snow, right?

3:29 am

sprite

hi rubyfoo, hi ursh :)
What a nice image, ursh, those birds.

3:29 am

ursh

no snow in Durban - but 45 min inland had a big snow fall this past week which makes our wind cold and we had rain

3:30 am

rubyfoo

in spring, I put out combings from the dogs for the birds to use in their many nest on our property

3:30 am

ursh

we have also had pornographic monkey antics recently - sex on the roof - sex in the trees - lol mating season for vervets - sure sign spring is about to happen

3:30 am

sprite

lol

3:31 am

rubyfoo

we hop0e you'll post a video (only kidding)

3:32 am

ursh

oh ruby the vervet newborns are just the cutest - like little aliens

3:33 am

sprite

must be amazing to see all that right from your home

3:33 am

rubyfoo

barely any animals here (except maybe our neighbors!), just our dogs, huge goldfish and myriad (non-exotic) birds

3:33 am

rubyfoo

we don't even have squirrels or rabbits!

3:34 am

ursh

the monkeys are regarded as a nuisance here - they raid houses and swipe fruit and bread etc - but i enjoy them - they were here first after all and a house is just another food bearing tree to them

3:34 am

rubyfoo

exactly!

3:34 am

sprite

I like your point of view

3:34 am

rubyfoo

we have the most hospitable garden for our limited wildlife

3:35 am

rubyfoo

we planted things specifically for the birds, butterflies and other insects and are happy to share our fruit with all of them

3:35 am

rubyfoo

and having the fishpond gives them a water source

3:35 am

rubyfoo

there is a bat cave on the cliff above the house and the bats come down and drink from the pond as well

3:36 am

rubyfoo

they are beautiful and look like tiny black butterflies at dusk

3:36 am

sprite

we have loads of 'normal' birds and insects, lots of moles, some rabbits, the occasional hedgehog.

3:36 am

sprite

oh! Yes and bats. I love bats.

3:36 am

rubyfoo

it's so different from the UD+S where there are foxes and coyotes right in Manhattan

3:36 am

ursh

mind you it is quite scary to walk into the kitchen and find a large male monkey helping himself the the bread and they are quite cheeky and have huge fangs so you just back off and let him find his way out

3:37 am

rubyfoo

I am glad, sprite, I lvoe bats, too. I think it's why we have no mosquitoes

3:37 am

rubyfoo

I'm not sure if I'd like to have a monkey in the house, would probably ack off, too

3:37 am

sprite

that'd scare me too. I think I'd wait for him to finish eating, lol.

3:38 am

rubyfoo

we've had bats in the house but I am able to get them to fly out and once we had a large hawk make a mistake and wind up in the living room. I rescued her, too

3:38 am

rubyfoo

she was magnificent!

3:38 am

sprite

oh I am glad. Raptor birds are amazing creatures.

3:39 am

rubyfoo

but it's not like SA with its fabulous wildlife; the French have eaten almost everything

3:39 am

rubyfoo

I held her by the shoulders and when I released her she flew straight up. It was thrilling!

3:40 am

ursh

hmmm ruby the africans are also eating their way through the wildlife

3:40 am

beckyj

Good Morning All! :-)

3:40 am

sprite

rubyfoo, have you ever read the books by Mercedes Lackey about the bond birds?

3:40 am

sprite

hi beckij!

3:40 am

ursh

hi beckyj

3:40 am

rubyfoo

that is too bad although I did eat some mystery jerky when I was there, didn't ask what it was, but hungry is hungry

3:41 am

beckyj

Hi! How is everyone?

3:41 am

rubyfoo

hi becky

3:41 am

sprite

I am fine, and you?

3:41 am

rubyfoo

no, sprite, I'm writing down the name

3:41 am

beckyj

I am good thank you!

3:41 am

ursh

ruby we have a huge population of poor and as you say hungry is hungry and meat is meat

3:42 am

rubyfoo

that's how I feel. In my "salad days", I even ate horsemeat

3:42 am

sprite

so very true, ursh.

3:43 am

sprite

rubyfoo: that would be the Storm trilogy and the Owl trilogy, I think.

3:43 am

rubyfoo

I'll see if Amazon.fr has them

3:44 am

rubyfoo

47 words and best one, so far, is or6/24

3:46 am

sprite

I found one 8 by building on the bow missile.

3:46 am

rubyfoo

I didn't even see the bow missile and the 8? haha

3:47 am

sprite

he who bothers you

3:47 am

rubyfoo

but you gave me the ha8

3:47 am

rubyfoo

ty

3:48 am

sprite

yvw lol, you didn't need an extra clue, sorry

3:49 am

rubyfoo

ah, that was it, hahah

3:49 am

rubyfoo

I was looking for something after the missile.....

3:49 am

sprite

that was correct. Something after, something before.

3:53 am

rubyfoo

something old, something new.....

3:53 am

sprite

something borrowed something blue?

3:55 am

rubyfoo

the man is thumping around upstairs; I guess that means I've been summoned!

3:55 am

rubyfoo

big hugs to sprite and ursh, if she's still here

3:55 am

rubyfoo

see you later

3:55 am

sprite

lol... tell him I said hi, and to mind his manners

3:55 am

rubyfoo

fat chance! lol

7:43 am

lil*monkey

Gaaaaaaah! That's bad

7:44 am

lil*monkey

I'm on a dating website and some 25 year old child just tried to "chat" with me

7:44 am

lil*monkey

I told him to go take a nap with his binky

7:45 am

carleekat

i dont think i could do a dating website...mind i am not in the frame of mind for dating...sooo

7:46 am

7:48 am

7:49 am

lil*monkey

7:50 am

lil*monkey

LMAO! LOL just spewed my water

7:50 am

carleekat

i so dont want laundry for another..to have to cook for another..clean up from another or share my big bed with another...i am used to sprawling in my bed..i dont want to be confined to the outer 6inches of a bed ever again

7:51 am

carleekat

and after 20 years of playing nurse/ cook/ maid/ whore i am finished

7:51 am

lil*monkey

ew me neither , since you describe married life so nicely LOL

7:51 am

lil*monkey

I have never been married

7:52 am

carleekat

unless of course he happens to be a bazillionaire..i might be bought for that

7:54 am

MollyL

What freaks me out a bit are the people I know who are also widows/widowers or have lost a significant loved one and are on dating sites three months later. I just don't know how they move on that fast. I guess some people just can't live without a man/woman in their life.

7:54 am

carleekat

they cant molls

7:55 am

lil*monkey

I see it all the time though...

7:55 am

MollyL

What you do with a library book to extend your borrowing

10:19 am

bonkler

took victory once more

10:19 am

flosey

hi Lisa, thanks anyway

10:19 am

LisaG

maybe to re*** a library book?

10:20 am

LisaG

i just got that one

10:20 am

flosey

10:21 am

flosey

yes, that was it Lisa, thanks

10:21 am

LisaG

:)

10:22 am

crosshair

mmmm..nice strong cuppa tea

10:22 am

flosey

lol, that's why I don't use the library, seldom have time to finish book before having to re5 it

10:23 am

LisaG

ha ha, i renew atleast twice per book :) kids keep me too busy...i like to read before I go to bed, but sometimes I am soo tired, forget that!

10:24 am

crosshair

i do not watch much television,so a book a week is average for me

10:24 am

LisaG

i dont watch much tv either lol, but i do come on here a lot

10:25 am

flosey

I picked up, what I thought was Gone with the Wind, at a book sale, had seen the movie but never read the book, turned out, I hadn't looked closely, it was actually "Scarlet" a sequel to GWTW, but by a different author, and just as long

10:25 am

flosey

**that, not what

10:25 am

LisaG

i heard of that before, the scarlet one

10:25 am

LisaG

was it good?

10:26 am

flosey

just reading it now, yes, I'm enjoying it - to see changes in her behaviour

10:27 am

LisaG

nice... I love gone with the wind

10:27 am

flosey

Rhet still weaving in and out of her life

10:27 am

Shirlockc

the actual book is v. good, lots of drama that didn't make it to the movie

10:27 am

LisaG

great story... i love how its dripping with history, yet a love story...and you get to see how naive she really is...i dont think the movie captures that quite as well

10:28 am

flosey

I think I'll get the GWTW next

10:29 am

flosey

came out of that book sale with quite an armload - then had eye surgery and had to stop for a while

10:30 am

LisaG

oh, are your eyes recovered now/

10:30 am

flosey

oh yes, fully, only need glasses for reading and computer

10:31 am

flosey

it seems to be quite routine for people of my age - but even a few months after I had some difficulty reading

10:32 am

ivesy3

when we were cleaning out the library, deleting books and such, i picked up a copy of the anniversary copy of gone with the wind.. old old book and has that old book smell i love it

10:32 am

flosey

only need 1.5 and 2.5 which are available in pharmacies, and such

10:34 am

flosey

that's quite a treasure then ivesy

10:34 am

LisaG

well that is better than most flosey... i work with the newspaper and you wont belive how many subscribers we lose because of eyesight and failed surgeries

10:35 am

ivesy3

yes. i looked up copies on the web , they had one had a letter from clark gable to margaret mitchell, worth $85 ,000 ! i would be so lucky!

10:36 am

crosshair

crossy for the first time starting this january i guess,i hvae had to wear readers,but do not need glasses for anything else..yet

10:36 am

flosey

oh my, wouldn't that be dreadful, my problem was cataract - which is a very simple thing, they do one eye at a time, about a month apart

10:37 am

LisaG

i feel so bad for them when i talk to them :(

10:37 am

flosey

so they use the 'talking' books?

10:38 am

LisaG

lol...i dont know what they use...a neighbor or friend or family member to read mail to them...

10:39 am

flosey

I don't know anything about these "talking' books, except that a friend from the library was getting them for a friend who went blind

10:39 am

ivesy3

we carry quite a few. seem to be quite popular. i use them in a cassette when i walk

10:40 am

flosey

great idea ivesy

10:40 am

crosshair

my wifes vision is 20/400 and will often use her e-book reader audio book function when she is having a bad day

10:41 am

ivesy3

they have such good ideas now for people with limited vison. a girl came in the other day, for books in braille... even got a library card. she was so proud.

10:42 am

flosey

wow, isn't it great that there are such things now

10:42 am

crosshair

it is indeed flosey...before e-book readers,she had been ten years without being able to enjoy a book

10:43 am

ivesy3

that is sad. so glad she can enjoy them again crossy

10:43 am

crosshair

i have even seen a little electronic thinble device,that converts braille to audio speech for those who have a tough time with braille

10:45 am

crosshair

and there are electronic "wands" that scan printed text and read it to yo you line per line as you move it across the page

10:45 am

ivesy3

and the ebooks are big items. people come in all the time for us to set them up for them. unfort. kindle hasnt reached us yet, though i hear they are working on it

10:46 am

crosshair

the kidle is an ok device,but its limiting factor here is that it is amazon dedicated for material and it does not support e-pub files..which all the libraries here have adopted for thier e-book programmes

10:46 am

crosshair

kindle*

10:47 am

ivesy3

i have a sony.. was given to me so cant complain lol

10:47 am

crosshair

i use a nook and the mrs uses a sony product

10:47 am

LisaG

there is a whole lot of po 4/5 going on in this puzzle!

10:48 am

ivesy3

is the nook from borders crossy?

10:48 am

crosshair

they are not available here in canada ivesy,so i have my brother send me one from a barnes+noble store in the states

10:49 am

crosshair

very solid and easy to use device

10:49 am

ivesy3

ok... i know borders is going out of business and having theirs changed to kobo , i think it is

10:50 am

crosshair

ahh yes,the kobo is/was an entry level priced reader with basic functions only

10:50 am

flosey

yes Lisa, doesn't matter how rude or crude a word is, it still counts here!

10:50 am

flosey

Fireworks

10:50 am

LisaG

good job flosey!

10:50 am

crosshair

though it does support e-pub and that is well

12:34 pm

uusue2

well, good for her - sounds like she has a plan :-) (Yale is not cheap - I had a fellowship to start with that paid tuition, and then an assistantship once i started research)

12:35 pm

doseffing

... I believe that's her plan too ... and regretably elderly grandmother's estate can't be too far in the future ...

12:38 pm

ah, that would be handy - my elderly grandmother's estate wound up going to a second cousin, after a lot of family distress

12:40 pm

1:29 pm

carleekat

bye stiddy (( hugs))

1:33 pm

uusue2

<--- did a 75-min commute for 3 years - it is doable, especially if you don't mind driving, but can be stressful if there is a lot of traffic, and in the winter

1:34 pm

I survived with books on tape (actually on CD, mostly, from the library)

1:35 pm

1:37 pm

crosshair

@ $1.30 per lit($5.20) a gallon we cannot afford a commute like that would be 25-30 dollars a day in gas:(

1:37 pm

carleekat

this is a country highway mostly going 90 km/hour but u can push to 98 km/h without ticket ( once ur 10 over u will get ticketted)...and is low traffic I could take the freewway that drives 100 km/hour but it comes out at opposite end of town from the school so the time u save getting to the city u lose and some getting scross town

1:37 pm

LisaG

i jsut got my first fireworks...even though I got lazy at the end of the puzzle and needed a lot of clues :) thanks everybody

I am very very pleased with my choice ot buy a hybrid a few years ago.

1:40 pm

uusue2

1:41 pm

redturtlehead

I fill up like once a month.

1:41 pm

carleekat

<----- carlee has to relearn how to drive standard

1:41 pm

MollyL

Oh have fun with that. I can't stand driving a stick shift.

1:42 pm

carleekat

i will get lots of practise..back and forth for a full year.....

1:42 pm

redturtlehead

I do miss having a stick, but, the gas savings are the most important.

1:42 pm

crosshair

like riding a bike carlle,you never forget

1:42 pm

MollyL

I don't have a hybrid, but I have a very short commute. Once a month fill ups for me too.

1:42 pm

uusue2

ooh, I love it, molly! Would have gotten a stick but the Prius didn't come that way :-(

1:42 pm

carleekat

but if i head overseas to teach..most cars there are standard...soooooolearn now..or later

1:42 pm

uusue2

the original Insight did but it didn't have a back seat so not suitable for me

1:44 pm

MollyL

I didn't realize you were considering going overseas. That will be a big change for you.

1:44 pm

carleekat

dxh has made it very clear that he will never just leave me be...and i have always wanted to travel....so...kills 2 birds with 1 stone

1:45 pm

redturtlehead

yes that is a big change.

1:45 pm

MollyL

What will your kids do?

1:45 pm

carleekat

my son is grown..my daughter lives with her dad

1:48 pm

carleekat

my son will have to go live with his father anyway as dxh has made it impossible for me to afford to have him here...so....he has taken my kids...with my father soon to be gone..nohtingholding me here

1:48 pm

carleekat

i will finish school and travel ...i have nothing else left so i might as well do what i want

1:50 pm

uusue2

well, there you go, carlee - time to start living for yourself!!!

1:55 pm

carleekat

that is the plan

1:55 pm

redturtlehead

sounds like a plan.

1:56 pm

carleekat

i've already been told i am being a selfish bitch...but..after 20 years of giving to everyone else...and never asking or getting in return..fine..i am a selfish bitch

1:56 pm

redturtlehead

it seems unselfish to me, I mean why not do something you want to do, selfish would have been to do this wehn your kids were like 3 yrs old.

1:59 pm

carleekat

yes..well..apparently when i said "i do"....it meant i do everything for u...i do everything you want....i do it whenever u want.....and I do it above and beyond your expectations....and I am to continue to do this after our marriage is over

2:00 pm

carleekat

he has been harrassing my mother...to get her to convince me to do his bidding.... so..i am leaving

2:00 pm

redturtlehead

2:01 pm

Only referring to their immense brain power as in finishing grids in record time. No need to be offended.

4:27 pm

Dorens

ru, the squash I made last night was SOOO good. even if it wasn't the real recipe. I sauteed summer squash with the shallot, garlic, onion, added tarragon, mixed it with the carmelized leeks (which were divine, you were so right)

4:27 pm

periwinkle

sounds delish Doren

4:28 pm

periwinkle

<------has never cooked with shallots

4:28 pm

rururocks

oh good. It's better with delicata.. but really glad you liked it

4:28 pm

Dorens

was a bastardized version of something ru had thunk up, but his was with delicata squash which isn't in season right now... and farro, which i must get soon

4:28 pm

periwinkle

what kind of squash did you use, Doren

4:28 pm

Dorens

they have a very nice flavor peri, should try them. nice in salad dressing too. (i used zucchini and yellow summer squash)

4:29 pm

MollyL

<--- Shuts up now

4:29 pm

periwinkle

I will have to try that, ty Doren and ruru

4:29 pm

rururocks

the farro adds a nuttiness

4:29 pm

periwinkle

what is farro?

4:29 pm

Dorens

why molly? (nice pic, btw)

4:29 pm

rururocks

Immense brain power... (giggles) we fooled you Molly

4:30 pm

Dorens

i had some couscous with it, ru, which is sort of nutty but i'm sure not quite the same. I will definitely try the real one when delicatas come around

4:30 pm

rururocks

still glad you enjoyed it. It's low calorie too

4:30 pm

periwinkle

delicata squash? never heard of them, what do they look like?

4:30 pm

rururocks

yellow with green and red stripes

4:30 pm

Dorens

yes, which is all i want right now. low calorie and delicious

4:30 pm

periwinkle

I like quinoa better than couscous

4:31 pm

periwinkle

will keep an eye out for them

4:31 pm

rururocks

quinoa is so messy to cook.. it's like beach sand it gets everywhere

4:31 pm

rururocks

IMHO

4:31 pm

periwinkle

and farro is a pasta?

4:32 pm

rururocks

no ..it's more like a barley peri

4:32 pm

Dorens

i like both, peri. and cajun brown rice from louisiana. have some of one or the other on hand in the fridge..
and yes ru, it is messy!! i try very very hard not to spill!

4:32 pm

periwinkle

ok,will look for that too

4:32 pm

Dorens

peri, you can google these terms, and then see pictures too probably

4:32 pm

rururocks

it's delish and easy to cook

4:33 pm

Dorens

delicata is very pretty, but usually available in farm markets in the fall. ru lives in CA.. he can get ANYthing ANYtime

4:33 pm

rururocks

well... not ANYThing

4:34 pm

Dorens

costco has farro, but three pound packages. Not sure if i want to buy such a large amount

4:35 pm

rururocks

three lbs? holy cow

4:35 pm

periwinkle

is costco better thanBJ's?

4:36 pm

rururocks

*not gonna touch that one*

4:36 pm

periwinkle

why not ruru?

4:36 pm

rururocks

never mind

4:36 pm

periwinkle

only asking cause BJ/s is closer to me but I can get to Costo if I wanted to

4:37 pm

costco has terriic food (and good thinking ruru)

4:37 pm

Hi all....... is TYIN the 2nd ty4/6

4:37 pm

I must be out of the loop, there is something that I am missing

4:37 pm

rururocks

Supposedly the Italian Farro is supposed to be better. I've not found that

4:38 pm

Dorens

no perri, only that ruru has the mind of 13 year old boys (not that this is such a bad thing, you understand, but some folks get easily offended)

4:38 pm

rururocks

*innocent look* blinks eyes

4:39 pm

periwinkle

Idon't get easily offened and would like to know what he meant but he is not saying

4:39 pm

well i will buy farro the next time i see it i PROMISE< but not 3 # and the second ty4/6 is one who does it flask

anyone know if there are good resources for finding homes for senior dogs? I've searched the internet..found a few things but very limited cities.

5:00 pm

herinfernallady

Babs what area?

5:00 pm

Babs1

Austin, TX

5:01 pm

Babs1

could also move dogs to a new area

5:06 pm

herinfernallady

Babs: http://tinyurl.com/3nqhd6d This is a list of non kill shelter's. I found one but I would hate it to be a kill shelter.

5:06 pm

Babs1

thanks, herin!

5:07 pm

herinfernallady

I have no idea what they are like but this is the first I pulled up that was nonkill

5:11 pm

not sure most will be open to senior dogs, but I'll check...thanks!

5:44 pm

periwinkle

sue, everything ok with your son?

5:44 pm

uusue2

always glad to be of assistance :-)

5:45 pm

uusue2

and my son is well - he now has the offer in writing - 6 month continuance and then they will not prosecute as long as he has stayed out of trouble

5:46 pm

uusue2

then eventually he can get the whole thing expunged (probably after the statute of limitations expires)

5:46 pm

periwinkle

that sounds good, sue

5:47 pm

uusue2

considering what could have happened,it is fantastic :-)

5:47 pm

herinfernallady

Sounds like this person and my ex would make a fine couple. Both a$$hats

5:49 pm

uusue2

well, she is only 19 - maybe if she gets some help she can shape up...not that I am holding my breath

5:52 pm

uusue2

and as my son said, the only reason he was with her in the first place that night was because he was trying to be a good guy - she'd said that she was afraid to walk home alone in the dark so he was giving her a ride

5:53 pm

uusue2

(he really is a good kid, and did not deserve any of this)

5:54 pm

herinfernallady

Awww. See why is it nice guys always get screwed over

5:54 pm

uusue2

well, he's been spending time with a girl who seems much nicer - she

5:54 pm

uusue2

soops

5:55 pm

uusue2

she's in his programming class and belongs to the model UN at the university

5:55 pm

5:56 pm

herinfernallady

Good Sue glad to see he hasn't been too scared off

5:57 pm

uusue2

no, he's actually quite resilient, even though he has been to hell and back with his ex (pardon the language but that's what it was)

5:58 pm

MollyL

Oh good. I didn't realize he was seeing someone else. That must be a thorn in the ex's behind.

Soodlebum

Hi and bye Sue, Lil. And hi everybody else :-)

6:11 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Soodle.

6:11 pm

herinfernallady

I am sitting here trying to work out ways of actually having a proper laundry

6:12 pm

Soodlebum

Proper laundry?? Whats a proper laundry?

6:13 pm

MollyL

<-- Was wondering the same thing.

6:14 pm

Soodlebum

In my world, you bung the dirty clothes into the washer, if its fine out, you hang em on the line, if its rainy, you bung em in the drier, what am I doing wrong?

6:14 pm

herinfernallady

We have a laundry in a closet. The problem is it is dark and useless and irritates me. As we are renting I am thinking of ideas which are cheap. And as it is in the closet the wall's have to be easily removable incase of needing to replace pipes

6:15 pm

MollyL

Some kind of stackable washer/dryer?

6:16 pm

herinfernallady

We don't have a dryer

6:16 pm

herinfernallady

We don't have a dryer

6:16 pm

Soodlebum

That sounds like a plan, Moll.

6:18 pm

MollyL

So is lack of light your problem? Do they sell those stick-up light strips over there?

6:18 pm

herinfernallady

And opps and even if we did it wouldn't fit because of the shelf. It was badly put together and I am forever thinking of ways to make it better

6:20 pm

Soodlebum

I would so love to live my life without a drier. But this wretched country and the wretched rain..... even in July, I'm using the drier (and sending my electricty bill sky high :-( )

6:21 pm

Soodlebum

Guess I better trundle off to the PB now.... :-(

6:22 pm

herinfernallady

I find that using a good anti bacterial wash and using a clothes airer over heating vents in a sunny room works well

6:23 pm

MollyL

You can get retractable clotheslines to use indoors. I have one over my bathtub.

6:24 pm

herinfernallady

I used to have a curtain line on a hook from one side of the bathroom to the other at my old flat. I was not wanting to air my knickers outside

6:29 pm

Soodlebum

Non-airing of one's laundry is always a good idea. <----- speaks the voice of experience.

6:31 pm

MollyL

The only thing I miss about hanging things outside is sun dried sheets. Nothing like that smell.

6:32 pm

herinfernallady

Unless it is super warm there is no hanging out side as our line is on the dark side of the house

6:34 pm

Soodlebum

I'm lucky like that. If there is any bit of dry weather, I wash every shred of bed linen and hang them out to dry. Sadly this summer has seen precious few sunny days.

6:34 pm

herinfernallady

I have done the hang over doors of linen which is tideous

6:34 pm

herinfernallady

and my spelling sucks sory

6:36 pm

Soodlebum

I don't spend money on facials, manicures, or any personal treats. My one luxury is decent bed-linen. I really appreciate Egyptian cotton. (Such a low-maintenance gal, I am...)

6:37 pm

Soodlebum

<----- Batty old lady!!

6:38 pm

MollyL

Agreed Soodle. It took me years to justify buying decent sheets and I will never go back to the cruddy ones again. I am grateful for every cent I spent on my 400 thread count sheets.

6:43 pm

MollyL

Morphine is a good thing. I'm glad they put off the tests. No reason to put him through that. How are you doing Carlee?

6:43 pm

herinfernallady

O Carlee. Hugs

6:44 pm

Soodlebum

Carlee. What an incredibly difficult time you are going through. I will pray for you and your Dad tonight. (Hugs and kisses)))

6:45 pm

Dorens

Oh Carlee you have my sympathy. My dad spent his last months at my house (hospice) and the morphine sometmes wasn't enough. Glad he hasn't suffered. Unfortunately those sounds are with me even now 8 years later.

6:45 pm

MollyL

Is anyone going with you?

6:45 pm

carleekat

6:45 pm

6:47 pm

6:47 pm

carleekat

he has a living will... so...when he goes..he goes

6:49 pm

Soodlebum

Its so good to hear he is not in pain, Carlee. Dorens, your post brought tears to my eyes. (Group Hug)

6:50 pm

Carlee, I will be thinking about you tomorrow and hoping that things go as gently as possible. I'm glad you will have your Mom and your kids with you.

Clue for the er7 please?

To make a mistake + short for hello + not south west

8:00 pm

MollyL

Nastiest word in the grid, I think.

8:00 pm

rururocks

po 7 is the nastiest word

8:01 pm

MollyL

Po7 is the dumbest, most NOT a word, word.

8:02 pm

rururocks

it's dumb and nasty

8:02 pm

wht

ty Molly. Is that even a word?

8:03 pm

rururocks

it is to Larry Flynt

8:05 pm

wht

But po7 can't be the nastiest word since the superlative form would be even nastier. :^)

8:06 pm

rururocks

true.. but just for this grid..:)

8:08 pm

MollyL

It just furthers my belief that these grids are created by demented adolescent boys. As evidenced by how many times tits appears in grids. : P

8:09 pm

MollyL

And all the variations of the Oscar Meyer word.

8:09 pm

wht

Actually, I see a lot of barnyard references in today's grid.

8:10 pm

carleekat

tits... and arse

8:10 pm

mab

I agree Molly - if not tits, teats. Every grid.

8:11 pm

carleekat

penis shows up 1ce for every 30 tits/ teats

8:11 pm

ha ha!

8:12 pm

8:17 pm

carleekat

8:17 pm

MollyL

I think fresh corn is awesome. If I could grow it I would be like Johnny Depp at the end of "Secret Window".

8:18 pm

MollyL

I always default to eggs and toast if I'm feeling unmotivated.

8:18 pm

wht

I don't have to grow it, I have an amazing farm stand maybe a mile from our house.

8:18 pm

carleekat

i give away the rest....or my kids eat ( but they grew up with home made sweets so sweets are so not a "thing") often times stuff gets thrown out..i imagine 1/2 that cake will still be in this house a week from now and i willhave to throw it out

8:19 pm

wht

Farm stand is a bit of a misnomer. We got some papaya there tonight for dessert.

8:19 pm

( in kitchen making hashbrowns in butter ( real butter) and a bread pizza ( using a pita bread )

9:04 pm

Jacula

Hi all. Making a pizza with a potato base is sure to set your smoke alarams off. Lots of flapping a teatowel about to shut it off, but the pizza tastes great!

9:05 pm

Jacula

I haven't done that particular recipe for years and years, but may be I will do in a week or two.

9:06 pm

mab

potato? sounds good (allergic to tomato)

9:06 pm

Jacula

Hashbrowns (which I hate) in butter should be fine, so long as you have your cooker hood on.

9:06 pm

MollyL

I lit a candle for you, for tomorrow Carlee. Hope you get some good sleep. Night all.

9:07 pm

mab

night Molly

9:07 pm

carleekat

he loved to cook... and is a fab cook...

9:22 pm

Jacula

People leave the earthly plane, but they don't really leave us. I've no idea if they really come back in spirit form to help or if it is just our memories and what we learned from them that helps us. But, whilst we live, they're never really done.

9:26 pm

Jacula

My old dog hung on way past the time he was in too much pain to live, just to love me after my husband left. When I finally got my head up enough out of the misery to look at him properly I knew what I had to do. But it broke my heart to do it and, almost a decade lader, I still haven't got over it, nor had another dog in my life.

Dogs and cats know when someone will be home in the next 20 minutes. Humans also have the possibility of knowing that. The only rason most of us fail is that there is far too much going on for us to use our instincts now. I still have my natural instinct, mostly.

9:37 pm

Does anybody have a clue for the st 7/36 word please

Minveryork

Jacula, can you give me another clue for the st 7/36?

9:54 pm

Minveryork

Never mind!

9:54 pm

JenMO16

i felt better the day after surgery!

9:54 pm

Minveryork

I am done! I have fireworks! st 7/36 was my last word

9:54 pm

Jacula

Min - last st7 = pig home beginning,

9:55 pm

Minveryork

Thanks Jacula for helping me get my fireworks tonite.

9:55 pm

JenMO16

i do have another problem related to the surgery; seems the nurse stuck a nerve in my left arm where she put the IV in

9:55 pm

Jacula

Well done Min! *~*~*~*~*~*~

9:55 pm

jillibus

st7 often starts with poly. Think pig house and Ms Zellweger without her last letter

9:55 pm

Minveryork

I'll be here for 30 more minutes to help clue if needed.

9:55 pm

JenMO16

i have been having pins and needles in that arm since

9:55 pm

Minveryork

Hello jillibus! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.

9:56 pm

jillibus

Oh -- jac beat me to it (as usual) -- congrats, min!

9:56 pm

Nef

OUCH, Jen!

9:56 pm

Nef

YAY, Min!!! WTG!!!

9:56 pm

jillibus

Now, what's all this hyst talk I walked in on?

9:57 pm

JenMO16

i am going to mention it to the dr. but i am not sure she will do anything since she is an ob-gyn

9:57 pm

Jacula

Hi Jillibus.

9:57 pm

JenMO16

i had a hyst 2 weeks ago jillibus

9:58 pm

Nef

hi jilli

9:58 pm

Jacula

I must be sure to visit you when I visit my relatives in Canada. Not possible right now, since I've just been made reduandant as from today.

9:58 pm

Nef

(I'm sorry, I'm still a bit slow yet)

9:59 pm

jillibus

Happy healing, jen -- and scrolling back I saw that about the nerve -- hope it goes away soon.

9:59 pm

jillibus

Jac -- where are your relatives in Canada?

10:00 pm

jillibus

And Nef -- happy healing too! It does take a bit of time,as I'm sure you know.

10:00 pm

Nef

what is reduandant?

10:00 pm

JenMO16

i do too, jilibus, i do too!

10:01 pm

Jacula

Ontario but 7 hours drive apart for my uncle & aunt & their son, and Calgary for my ex-bro-i & sister in law and nephew or niece to be.

10:01 pm

jillibus

It will, jen, it will.

10:01 pm

Nef

Thanks, jilli. The pain now is a lot different than before surgery; and at least I know that there is an end to it fairly soon

10:02 pm

jillibus

Well, I think there are direct flights from Calgary to Victoria, jac -- then...a ferry to Salt Spring...

10:02 pm

Jacula

Nef - sorry, I meant to type reduntant - as in job gone, no longer needed or can be afforded etx.

10:02 pm

Jacula

redundant*

10:03 pm

jillibus

redunDant, lol!

10:03 pm

jillibus

oh, of course you knew

10:03 pm

Jacula

Yes, I I don't find it particularly LOL worthy.

10:03 pm

jillibus

sorry about that, jac -- the redundancy, I mean.

10:04 pm

Nef

I was totally confused for a bit; I thought maybe it was some sort of Brit term for being called for jury duty or something!

10:04 pm

Jacula

Look out for my new blog soon - 'Life from a supermarket checkout point'.

10:05 pm

Jacula

Nef - being called for jury duty is the last THING i NEED, SINCE i DON'T HAVE A CAR ANYMORE.

10:06 pm

jillibus

I'm still hoping jmc will show up to see her b'day cake

10:07 pm

Jacula

I'm off to bed hoping that the Snoring Monster is quiet.

10:07 pm

jillibus

10:45 pm

jesdraggon

hi all

10:46 pm

Minveryork

Hello jesdraggon! How are you? Welcome to the grid!

10:46 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Jess

10:47 pm

Minveryork

Thanks for the warning.Hubby gets worried about all the bacteria.I never really though about the powder.

10:48 pm

herinfernallady

Just the stuff in those powders can be toxic. They smell bad when open. unless it is just hot water they are just curious little beasts

10:49 pm

herinfernallady

Min as we have the fur brats I have to be very careful with bleach. Pandora the white cat loves the smell of it.

10:54 pm

herinfernallady

I am going again

welcome sparks it never gets easy but the addiction grows

11:20 pm

R. Sparks

I bet! Have played similar with word cube games at least so have starting point.

11:20 pm

vanillaslice

it took me a month to cough up the money. By then I knew I was well and truly hooked

11:21 pm

R. Sparks

Oh I've been playing free for a few days, but thought I'd support site. I love the tiles at bottom and don't want to lose them.

11:22 pm

jesdraggon

11:22 pm

vanillaslice

yeah they're a great help. Lickety is even more helpful

11:23 pm

vanillaslice

wd Jes

11:24 pm

R. Sparks

Any way to change player name? Looks like r sparks is too formal. Couldn't think of anything else at sign up but now wish I had. Who is Lickety by the way?

11:27 pm

jesdraggon

below the tile stats, there is a link to lickety's babble clues. he gives the first 2 letters and number of letters in each word in the grid.

11:28 pm

R. Sparks

Ah okay, thanks for that! Will have a peek then.

11:29 pm

jesdraggon
