dinner (!!) is cooking and I have a couple of minutes
3:45 am
rubyfoo

3:45 am
sprite

back. Hi rubyfoo
3:45 am
rubyfoo

I make a spicy chicken dish which is better if it sits all day, after being cooked the first time
3:46 am
sprite

dinner? good gad. Haven't even had breakfast. Haven't even had coffee!
3:47 am
rubyfoo

if I do the dinner in the morning, then I can rest after lunch
3:47 am
rubyfoo

otherwise, I can't cook (back, etc.)
3:47 am
sprite

yes, very true. I used to do that, back when I was still doing the cooking. Made some oven dish in the morning.
3:48 am
rubyfoo

husband gets up at 5; I get up at 7:45. He shops in the AM while I cook. Complicated, but it mostly works....
3:48 am
rubyfoo

what I cook at night is the pasta (for the chicken) and the dogs' (elaborate) dinner.
3:48 am
rubyfoo

and something simple for me
3:49 am
rubyfoo

we all eat different things; husband needs his spicy, dogs need theirs rich, I need mine easy
3:49 am
rubyfoo

and when I make this particular big dish, husband eats it for 3 or 4 days
3:49 am
mrpresident

i need thai tonight!
3:49 am
sprite

pfew. We all eat the same things here, except for Terra, but he just gets kibble.
3:50 am
rubyfoo

there is plenty, mrp! grab that next plane
3:50 am
sprite

I need coffee now. But don't have the energy to make it!
3:50 am
rubyfoo

you are smart, sprite. I am a kitchen fool
3:50 am
sprite

guess I am lazy :P
3:50 am
sprite

thai. Now you're talking. I love thai.
3:50 am
mrpresident

oooh! for sure!
3:50 am
rubyfoo

I don't think so, sprite.....I am just silly
3:50 am
mrpresident

i have roast duck curry and green chicken curry
3:51 am
mrpresident

of course there is dahl and basmati rice!
3:51 am
mrpresident

the kids ripped me off and took all the naan bread!
3:51 am
rubyfoo

I love thai food, but Indonesian even more. Unfortunately, no restaurants for either, here. Just bland, miserable food locally
3:51 am
mrpresident

nary a pappadum in sight either!
3:51 am
sprite

darn darn darn. Naan bread is soooo good. Especially the garlic naan.
3:52 am
rubyfoo

I used to do a lot of Indian cooking, but much too tired to do it any more plus we rarely entertain and making Indian food for two is just too sad.....
3:52 am
mrpresident

luv garlic naan!! I get about 4!! 2 for me!
3:52 am
mrpresident

oh ruby, give it another go
3:52 am
rubyfoo

when we first got here, I used to bake bread, make Indian banquets, etc etc. Not any more
3:53 am
sprite

true, rubyfoo. But it IS lovely. Maybe, if I ever come over to yours, we can do some Indian cooking together. I used to cook a lot of Indian.
3:53 am
rubyfoo

I've even given up Thanksgiving feasts, too much work, too expensive, and wasted on French people who didn't understand the holiday or a feast on a Thursday!
3:54 am
sprite

never throw pearls before the swines, rubyfoo :) Save it for people who appreciate it.
3:54 am
rubyfoo

oh, sprite, how I would love that. I designed the kitchen to easily accomodate two cooks as we did a huge amount of entertaining the first 5 years we were here
3:54 am
rubyfoo

exactly
3:54 am
sprite

lol mrP, if we ever go eat Thai together, we must fight over the naan! Or order enough for 12 ;)
3:55 am
sprite

let's remember, rubyfoo. Because if we are gonna do that, I can bring spices and veggies etc. Easily obtainable here.
3:56 am
rubyfoo

I have all the spices and a wonderful vegetable supermarket (Grand Frais, I think it's a European chain) and can get virtually everything
3:56 am
rubyfoo

maybe I'll make some tomato chutney, just in case

What really made me smile is that she said she will 'visit' her friend like she did with her bro, TJ. When TJ died she apparently went to play with him but she didn't like it up there so the angels brought her back down

hi all, still raining?
6:45 am

no at the moment but expected to off and on all day - poured all day yesterday - we need it though - has been a very dry summer
6:45 am
Riverdance

and hello mich
6:46 am
Michnick

Hi. My daughter is in NJ for the summer, she has never seen summer rain.
6:46 am
Riverdance

that is quite a trip - are you from the states originally
6:46 am
herinfernallady

HI Mich
6:47 am
Michnick

Yes, I am grew up in Philly. Her friend's aunt arranged for the niece & 2 friends to be counselors at a day camp. They are having the time of their lives. Hi Herin, River.
6:48 am
Riverdance

how fun for her and her friends - they should try the northeast next time - some great camps up here - my kids went when they were younger
6:49 am
Michnick

Next year she'll be 17 and have more options. Sleepaway camps don't want 16 y.o. counselors and we can't afford airfare and camp prices!
6:50 am
Michnick

I spent summers in the Poconos myself. I loved every minute. My sister (49 y.o.) still is on the summer teaching staff at 'our' camp.
6:50 am
Riverdance

I understand - my daugher wanted to be a counselor at 16 but it still costs - half price but they need to be there a minimum of 6 weeks. We couldnt afford that. Camp was $750 for 2 weeks.
6:51 am
Riverdance

the Poconos are beautiful - went there once about 30 years ago - when I was young and foolish with my ex-husband
6:51 am
Michnick

Right, we could have paid for her to work as a babysitter or a waitress, this way she gets paid and the aunt was happy to put them up.
6:51 am
herinfernallady

River have you thought that your daughter may like to actually do work as a counselor
6:52 am
Riverdance

she doesnt anymore - leaving for college next week - where did the time go
6:52 am
Riverdance

she is now deep into photography and art
6:52 am
herinfernallady

I mean as a counsel person on summer amp
6:53 am
herinfernallady

camp even
6:53 am
Riverdance

I dont want to lose her a whole summer - thats the problem
6:53 am
Riverdance

I am now losing her a whole school year
6:54 am
Riverdance

camps are 2+ hours away from us - not far but far enough not to see her and they only allowed out 1 day every other weekend so its not like she could come home.
6:54 am
Michnick

I think camp is a great microcosm of life. I am glad I was able to give my kids that experience. Camp here is only 2 or 3 weeks but it's still a good experience. Now only my youngest is camper age.
6:55 am
herinfernallady

Ok
6:55 am
herinfernallady

Even as a worker?
6:55 am
Riverdance

my son is 14 now - he stopped going to camp when Sarah stopped. Oldest allowed is 15. He really didnt miss it - lots to do around where we live. He is very independent and rode his bike to the lake (about 6 miles from our house) almost every day
6:56 am
Riverdance

yes even as a worker - kids have to stay so the counselors have to stay. Camps here start the end of June and run through the middle of August. Every 2 weeks is a new session. Kids leave on Friday night and then new ones come in on Saturday morning.
6:57 am
herinfernallady

Ruby, here is what is said about a moth animal totem/spirit guide:
Moth will help in transitions and show how to adapt to new surroundings. He will teach you to find your own light as a beacon in the direction you should go. It is time to pay attention to your feelings to clarify your movement and discern what is real and not. Are you listening carefully to verbal and non-verbal cues,to what is and is not being said? Are you sensing the world around you? or sensing too much? Moth will teach how to be still, rest and listen and balance your being. In finding your own light clarity in the moment of darkness will be found and your sensitivity to Spirit increases.

Jellen, how's your typing speed>
10:35 am

Uhhh... ? that should be.

10:36 am

Haha, kje. You could never be a fraction as annoying as some of the people I have to deal with.

Oh you'll love that, Jellen!
10:48 am
negativeneil

I have one. Nothing like it!
10:49 am
negativeneil

I can't crank mine up very loud because I live in an apartment building, but the sound quality is NICE!
10:49 am
Jellen

I have an ancient one, but it's not compatible with my TV...
10:49 am
negativeneil

Oh I see.
10:50 am
Jellen

I was cutting edge, back in the day... :-P
10:50 am
negativeneil

It feels like you're in a movie theater though when you have that. I wish I could play it louder when I have music videos on the tube. One day... when I'm in a house.
10:51 am
Jellen

You'll get there, neil...
10:51 am
negativeneil

Haha! Yeah, my parents had one when they were a new thing. Dad's right into technology.
10:51 am
negativeneil

He had to have computers in the house when they were new too. We grew up with them.
10:52 am
negativeneil

I dunno about that. Something major has to change for that to happen... not on what I'm earning now.
10:53 am
negativeneil

I have to find another assignment for the end of this month. Fun!
10:53 am
uusue2

good luck with that, neil! (and hi - stopping in briefly again)
10:54 am
uusue2

what is your field?
10:54 am
Jellen

I'm trying to figure out what I want to do next, too...
10:54 am
negativeneil

I'm a journalist and photographer.
10:54 am
Jellen

Hi, uusue
10:54 am
uusue2

hi, jellen!
10:55 am
uusue2

sounds like fun, neil! Very different from what I do...
10:55 am
negativeneil

Also a political writer, but that's just something I do on the side and often without pay.
10:55 am
Jellen

I'm toying with the idea of going back to school...
10:55 am
negativeneil

What do you do, uusue2? How poetic.
10:55 am
negativeneil

Oh really Jellen? To study what?
10:55 am
uusue2

I am a physics professor.
10:56 am
negativeneil

Wow, Sue.
10:56 am
uusue2

<--- is very much in favor of education :-)
10:56 am
Jellen

That's the 64 million dollar question!
10:56 am
negativeneil

So am I, Sue.
10:56 am
uusue2

yes, it tends to be a conversation stopper :-)
10:57 am
Jellen

There's an small university near me that offers a MA in English with a technical writing emphasis...
10:57 am
negativeneil

Which is why I majored in Political Science at UCSC.
10:57 am
uusue2

oh, that sounds interesting, jellen!
10:57 am
negativeneil

Liked the area so much, I decided to stay. I'm from San Diego originally.
10:58 am
rururocks

where do you live in Santa Cruz?
10:58 am
negativeneil

Oh I see, Jellen... what do you hope to do with that?
10:58 am
negativeneil

What, you want my address?
10:58 am
rururocks

no.. what area
10:58 am
Jellen

Um, technical writing :-)...or editing...
10:59 am
negativeneil

I'm kind of careful about posting that on here, rururocks. I have people who try to search for me sometimes... who I'd rather didn't know that.
11:00 am
rururocks

oh okay.. not a problem..it's a pretty area..
11:00 am
negativeneil

I assume anything posted here could be searchable online, using google for instance?
11:01 am
MollyL

Yes it is search-able on Google. And you are smart to be careful. Many people are not.
11:02 am
uusue2

Are the profiles searchable as well?
11:02 am
uusue2

(I don't much care personally, just curious)
11:03 am
negativeneil

Oh I've had to learn to be careful, Molly.
11:03 am
negativeneil

And yes ruru, it's a very pretty area.
11:04 am

I mean one that would give you an opinion on the car you're buying. I would suggest the advice of a mechanic on that, they know what they are talking about as they work on cars all day long.

So you already have a model in mind, ask the mechanic what he thinks about it. Always good to get a knowledgeable opinion. In the end, you are going to get what you can afford, I know that drill.

Well then do your homework on the internet. Look up customer reviews of what you have in mind. As long as it's not on a lot of "lemon" lists, I'm sure it will be fine. And if you are going to be doing that long of a commute, get a membership to a reliable auto service just to be safe.

Lets say the car is 15 and you put 5 down. Then you are financing about 12 with tax and the add ons. That gives you a monthy of around 240. So if you are only keeping the car for a year, you sink 7 into it instead of 15 and leave yourself with extra available cash.

It's the Arnotts Tim Tams and you can get them from Amazon and from import food shops, if you don't live in Australia. I've had them, and they are okay. But they are just cookies. I've never quit understood why people rave about them so.
2:59 pm

my sofa doesnt have cushions lol
9:15 pm

9:17 pm
stidmama

9:18 pm

i think the coin thing and get some cushions for the sofa and turn them
9:19 pm
crystalle

my daughter wants to put salt in the sugar bowl lol
9:19 pm
stidmama

I don't do practical jokes, one kid doesn't "get" them and the other would be inclined to go too far... although at this age the second would be mitigated by maturity.
9:19 pm

That is a great bio, mab. Thumbs up!
9:19 pm

once someone put a chunk of snow the size of a boulder on top of my car. it was funny, but probably wouldn't work in australia

i second the cornflakes. jmc, where are you?
9:23 pm
jmcnrick

uh here
9:24 pm

i don't get the turning the cushions
9:24 pm
negativeneil

Well that's the idea... if you're playing a practical joke on someone. No, I wouldn't wanna be the target of that either but hey? All's fair in love and pranking. ;)
9:24 pm
jmcnrick

cornflakes seems mild enough--clearly you are trying to get his attention without actually pissing him off
9:24 pm
mab

(it's not really funny)
9:25 pm

Exactly, jmc.

Maybe you missed it mab. But I said "great bio". Makes mine look too mild, haha!
9:25 pm
Dorens

what exactly is your objective, crystalle
9:25 pm
LisaG

its simple, and easy, and always works, but you can't say anything when they get up
9:26 pm
jmcnrick

i once wrote a letter to a person who had defrauded my client and then got a call from a young woman who asked if i had sent a letter to her aunt
9:26 pm
LisaG

you have to keep a straight face, and let them go about their routine
9:26 pm
mab

when i was in college a million years ago, my friends and i worked in a cocktail lounge. lots of practical jokes and chasing each other around with the whipped cream dispenser.
9:26 pm
jmcnrick

i said i did and she said her aunt was in a mental hospital and her uncle opened the letter and read it an dropped dead from a heart attack
9:27 pm
Dorens

rather drastic je
9:27 pm
mab

oh no!
9:27 pm
jmcnrick

well what can i say i was writing on behalf of my client
9:28 pm

i am just saying that pranks should be temperate

that's terrible, but not your fault, of course
9:28 pm

there has been a bit of tension in the house lately , he has been working away a lot and my daughter suggested we do something funny to make us all have a good laugh.
9:28 pm

i did finally get the money back though
9:28 pm
crystalle

i think maybe we will just have a comedy movie night
9:28 pm
Dorens

you go, j!
9:29 pm
jmcnrick

well i think the alarm clock may be too much unless he has a watch he can look at too
9:29 pm
jmcnrick

how about a love note in his brief case?
9:29 pm
Dorens

maybe a laugh without it being at his expense, crystalle.... most of these pranks sound like they could potentially backfire
9:29 pm
mab

tinkering with his brakes? no, probably a bad idea.
9:30 pm
jmcnrick

or if he doesn't have one a love note in his briefs
9:30 pm
Dorens

there lies that homicidial streak,eh?
9:30 pm
mab

sorry. bad bad sense of humor
9:30 pm
jmcnrick

you could get a funny card (or make one)
9:30 pm
crystalle

although, the coin glued the floor is something I am definitely doing at the next family gathering
9:31 pm
jmcnrick

i once greeted my hubby with paper chains at the front door going up the stairs and when i hear him coming up the stairs i started singing chains my baby's got me locked up in chains
9:31 pm
jmcnrick

so something to let him know you miss him and want him around
9:32 pm
jmcnrick

but with some humor
9:32 pm
mab

i like that
9:32 pm

and then there's always the go to his office in a trenchcoat and shut the door and take off the trenchcoat and there's nothing underneath it

there is a 10 cent piece stuck in the kurb near our house and my kids never stop trying to pick it up

i didn't tell you what i was (not) wearing when my hubby got up the stairs
9:36 pm

(i figured that out j, which reminded me of the trenchcoat)
9:36 pm
jmcnrick

haha!
9:37 pm
jmcnrick

i still have the chains--we use them on the christmas tree--fortunately my son was not born at the time so he has no idea why i like those paper chains
9:37 pm
Dorens

he never reads this chog, does he????
9:37 pm
mab

that's so sweet
9:38 pm
jmcnrick

nope he found babble once through stumbleupon and immediately recognized it and so left and never came back again
9:39 pm
jmcnrick

although he has instructions to come and tell you if i am really ill or dead
9:39 pm
jmcnrick

*sniff* someone just emailed me a pic of my hubby and me
9:39 pm

hi shoos
9:43 pm
Dorens

it is a good idea actually.... i think my kids would figure it out, but who knows?
9:43 pm
jmcnrick

i got really annoyed this summer talking to people about not spending time on line because they want to talk to their "real" friends
9:44 pm
jmcnrick

babblers are my real friends along with many people i know face to face
9:45 pm
Dorens

it's funny tho.... there is still a difference.. not that you all aren't my friends, but there is a difference in my mind when I
9:45 pm
Dorens

ve sat with people face to face -- like when i've done online dating in the past... sometimes had fantastic emails back and forth and would have loved it to last forever, but after meeting... the click wasn't there.. not always the same in person
9:45 pm
jmcnrick

i spend more time with you than anyone else since i quit my job (and sometimes even before i quit my job)
9:46 pm
jmcnrick

no we tend to be more outgoing online--but most babblers are pretty amusing in person anyway
9:46 pm

11:01 pm

bookwomen

Yes we have indoor plumbing we are even on city sewer and water. We do have a well and pumphouse too though. where is this library sale?
11:06 pm
Uneaixoise

often when that happens, it's a relative bringing in books from the estate of someone who's recently deceased . . .
11:07 pm
Uneaixoise

ooohhh, stealth dropoffs . . . wow
11:07 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

yep, the house i was in today, about 1,000 books, and two relatives trying to clear the place out. unusual thing was they seem to have no deadline. usually when i go to a place, they want everything out wihtin 3 days, or womething like that
11:07 pm
bookwomen

I am sometimes amazed how relatives donate books that have sentimental value.
11:08 pm
Uneaixoise

book, I now have cartons of Mother's books stacked under a long table with a tablecloth thrown over all!
11:09 pm

when I die, I will be leaving about 1000 books to two nephews who could care less about sentiment. They won't care about any books at all.

my mentor in this biz used to be head of the Livonia (Michigan) public library system, and he always advised customers to with too many books to drop 'em off at the public library "at midnight, like a baby"

As I am going through things I am sending them out to relatives. I sent my grandmother's engraved rosary to the daughter of my cousin. she too has a daughter and I am hoping by doing that a little will be saved. There are other things too that I have sent all over the country, just so they don't get lost.

11:14 pm

i would love to do that, but have to overcome my fear of french food first 8-)
11:14 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

there are bookdealers in alabama . . .
11:14 pm
bookwomen

It is good that you are doing that now. I have been to many sales where the relatives are overwhelmed and just sell everything. I am jealous Une too
11:15 pm
Uneaixoise

fear of French food? are you kidding?
11:15 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

certainly not kidding. and no dumping on people who have food hangups, please, cuz i'm one of them

11:16 pm
Uneaixoise

**French
11:16 pm
joey

ahhh. I understand. People that you know I would assume? It is funny. My mom used to rag me all the time about things that I have saved. In her things I have found boxes of pictures (unnamed of course) from her youth. And her grade school certificates, and 150 pair of pants, and 57 watches, and 83 hand towels. AND, I wish I were kidding
11:17 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

57 watches, yes! there were a lot of watches in this house, too, little dainty ones, many still in the little boxes
11:18 pm
joey

that is too funny....... I think that mom thought it would be cheaper to buy a new watch than to get the battery replaced.
11:18 pm
Uneaixoise

Mother had lots of watches too . . . and I now have a LOT of monogrammed towels, hand towels, washcloths, etc.
11:19 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i was able to tell them how to handle expired pills, at least, and gave them a lead on where to take the paintings. perfume, though, no idea
11:19 pm

Hello all! I'm a pack-rat and I'm sorry for my only "child" (a son) who will have to go through all my stuff when I croak. I' also a procrastinator and keep telling myself to get rid of things, but then I need them or want them...It's hard!

My neice and nephrew will have a chore too. i sell stuff but I hold onto a lot of stiff too. Rummage sale seems like too much work for me. lol

I had a giant garage sale when I moved here from the Montreal area and a big old house to my small one. I hated every minute of it.
11:21 pm

oh, Gwen, I had to toss a mountain of dryrotted stockings and "footies" LOL
11:22 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

down and dirty sale. price nothing. hold it on the same day as a neighbor, so you don't have to make any signs. lay on a lot of beer (or whatever). be willing to haggle a lot.
11:22 pm

i have a scrapbook of the sale/birthday party we had at mom's house when I moved her out of that. It is quite humorous.
11:22 pm

Laying on a lot of beer might cost too much to make it worthwhile though Gwen. Yes, I'm cheap.

11:27 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

so, a few weeks back, lemonade stand at a garage sale. two little kids handling the lemonade with 3 grownups watching. little kid number 1 was putting her fingers inside the cups. little kid number 2 licked the spout of the lemonade pitcher. all while the grownups were watching, and doing nothing. YUCK

It really is amazing for us. Maybe not everyone else. But it does have a lot of family history. I read most of the letters which were written by my great great great grandmother to her husband as he traveled the country looking for work before setlling in Seattle while she stayed with friends in Chicago. If you are in nashville you should drop down and visit. We are around 2 hours south. I just read that an author whose name escapes me is opening an independent store in nashville.
