1:31 am

cosdem

1:31 am

scouser

Quantities and order unknown for Ma's eggnog.

1:31 am

sammysmom

scouser

I think the order mattered a good deal.

1:32 am

scouser

I still have the glasses - hold about 30ml max

1:32 am

cosdem

you should sell that.. you'd make mooola

1:33 am

I'd need volunteers as I don't drink alcohol now.......

westford

1:38 am

cosdem

awww the cat is in the closet and is trying to get out lol

1:39 am

scouser

hmmm we can do long-distance testing of course. I bet the cabin is just the place we need. No-one will hear the shouts of delight.

1:39 am

westford

true and if they do they can join us

1:40 am

westford

cos why did you put the cat in the closet?

1:40 am

cosdem

i didnt mean to.. i closed it without checking... and now i see a little paw underneath the door.. i let him out

1:40 am

westford

oh good !!

1:41 am

scouser

ahh poor kitty .... I thought it was some sort of Babbleish code!

1:41 am

westford

cats are funny people

1:41 am

scouser

Hey westford - that is really true

1:41 am

cosdem

then the dog ran in.. they like to sleep on the laundry basket.. ill leave the closet open for the night :(

1:41 am

scouser

I miss my cat

1:41 am

cosdem

its christmas. i'm sure the boogeyman is off tonight

1:42 am

cosdem

aw im sorry scouser :( i miss my 2 cats i had to give up when i moved to colorado.. i lived in a house in iowa and now i live in an apartment.. i could only have 3 small pets here... so i had to choose two cats to give up.. they were the younger ones so my friend took them

1:42 am

westford

scouser are you thinking of getting another?

1:43 am

westford

sorry cos..they are like family aren't they?

1:43 am

westford

I'm happy you found homes for them

1:44 am

mrpresident

yeah, i wanted a cat but the landlord wouldn't allow pets, so had two kids instead

1:44 am

cosdem

yes it broke my heart... i still miss them.. i told ryan he can't talk to me about them... but at least i have the other 2 cats and my dog

1:44 am

cosdem

lol mrp :)

1:44 am

scouser

not yet westford. I too live in an apartment. Lack of catlitter-duty is a bonus just now. I have a friend who has far too many cats (5) so no problem about a source!

1:44 am

mrpresident

LOL!! ((hugs all))

1:45 am

scouser

Happy Christmas MrP and I hope 2012 is a better year for you and yours.

1:45 am

westford

we have 2 strays and just adopted our daughter's cat plus there's an old guy who sleeps in our garage so I feed him

1:45 am

mrpresident

I miss my Lia... she was just sooooo beautiful. Lost her 8 years ago and think of her always

1:46 am

westford

what a pretty name mrp

1:46 am

mrpresident

Merry Christmas to you too! Great to see such a nice crowd here tonight :)

1:46 am

scouser

presume you mean an elderly cat, west?

1:46 am

westford

lol yes..I just realized what I wrote

1:46 am

cosdem

its funny because our apartment complex .. we're very close knit.. and when we moved in we were the first ones to have a dog or cat.. now every single one of them has either a cat or a dog

1:47 am

cosdem

lol west... i was wondering about that

1:47 am

mrpresident

LOL! My girlfriend posted on FB that she adopted a 6 year old girl called Zoey, and no one knew she was talking about a cat! She got many questions!

1:48 am

cosdem

i was thinking "old guy? wow.. shes a nice person to let some old man sleep in her garage"

1:48 am

westford

I'm married to one

1:48 am

scouser

Here pets are against the general rules and dogs are definitely out. There is just one permanent cat on the floor below, and a wonderful Kliban-cat (rings of stripes in black and grey and short stubby ears) in the block opposite that travels with owner.

1:49 am

rbud

Hi, all, happy day! :)

1:49 am

scouser

Hi rbud

1:49 am

westford

hello rbud

1:49 am

mrpresident

hi rbud! Merry Xmas :)

1:49 am

cosdem

here in the states a deaf person can have a dog in an apartment even if it's generally not allowed. the landlord will either have to allow a dog or install intercom system for the deaf.. they usually opt for the dog since its cheaper

1:49 am

cosdem

merry christmas rbud :)

1:50 am

westford

that's a good idea cos

1:51 am

cosdem

ok its safe to go to the bedroom.. its almost 1am, santa's gone i can go thru the living room :)

1:51 am

cosdem

good night all!

1:51 am

westford

I have to find my bed..might be back later..Merry and Happy to you all.

1:51 am

scouser

Time for more tea here. Cos - I could understand for the blind person but untrained yapper with deaf owner ....... that friend I mentioned below has also got two of those yappers (shi-tzu with the hyphen displaced) as well

1:51 am

mrpresident

nite cos! enjoy your xmas!

1:52 am

rbud

night, cos! don't let the jingle bells keep you awake! :)

1:52 am

mrpresident

isn't it a shit's u?

1:52 am

cosdem

well.. the dog will bark at the door if osmeone knocks on it.. its cheaper than a new intercom system :)

1:52 am

scouser

A difficult dog to keep clean

1:52 am

scouser

OK cos

1:52 am

cosdem

i have an ankle biter so he does his job :)

1:54 am

scouser

I remember a brilliant comedy sketch with a headband and lamp that lit up in front of deaf person's nose when phone rings. Deaf person goes to phone and attempts answer

1:54 am

cosdem

2:43 am

hurshy

2:45 am

scouser

and to continue the Christmas theme, there is a nice clue for the st6/21: it probably was in the bag with the frankinc5/12 and myrrh but didnt get given

2:46 am

hurshy

ok i'll think about that i'm almost at the first S tile.

2:47 am

herinfernallady

6:39 am

the music playing all morning is a big part for us:)

6:39 am

rubyfoo

when i WAS YOUNG, IN ny, MY GRANDMOTHER USED TO TAKE ME TO SEE THE nUTCRACKER (whoops, sorry for caps) every year

6:39 am

melonheadjujube

I resent this board not having an "iest" suffix!

6:39 am

kje

gm

6:39 am

melonheadjujube

or even "ier" it looks like it ought to.

6:39 am

rubyfoo

hello KJE

6:39 am

crosshair

when i was young my da used to make us all have a big sit down breakfast before on thing was touched lol

6:40 am

Kaplan the Magne

Saw Nutcracker ...again...fridy night at Boston Opera. with both nearly grown up daughters...

6:40 am

melonheadjujube

rubyfoo, how neat. I'll bet you got all dressed up. I loved when kids would visit the orchestra pit at intermission.

6:40 am

rubyfoo

it's my favorite ballet

6:41 am

Kaplan the Magne

I really like Copelia- which I could see it more

6:41 am

melonheadjujube

nice, Kaplan. Cleveland no longer has a ballet Co. :`/They exist now as Ballet Silicon Valley in San Jose.

6:41 am

Eva

my mother used to take me to see the NYC Ballet version of it. Got to see the dress rehearsal once which was magical

6:41 am

Kaplan the Magne

That sounds wrong somehow.

6:41 am

rubyfoo

growing up in NY was lucky.

6:41 am

melonheadjujube

Coppelia is a perfect ballet. Divine music. The closing gallop is the happiest piece of music ever, My stand partner and I would almost bust out laughing.

6:41 am

Kaplan the Magne

I grew up in NYC and that is the best on Xmas.

6:42 am

Kaplan the Magne

The part that sounds wrong is the silicon valley balley

6:42 am

rubyfoo

and yesterday, Messiah was my earworm all day! Very hard to do more than one voice

6:42 am

melonheadjujube

NYC Christmas is for everybody!

6:42 am

Eva

I grew up there too Kaplan. Where did you live?

6:42 am

Kaplan the Magne

I keep picturing all kinds of Jessica-simpson types dancing ballet

6:42 am

Kaplan the Magne

I am a Flushing girl.

6:42 am

rubyfoo

hahah, kaplan

6:43 am

Eva

Ah-I was in the city

6:43 am

rubyfoo

Queens is the city (said sternly), Eva.

6:43 am

melonheadjujube

CLE was there 1st, then a joint venture, then philanthropy here pretty much fell apart. No Valley girls, I know you meant it in jest. We were a very diverse company.

6:44 am

Kaplan the Magne

So Flushing doesn't count for you---my dad was born on the Lower East Side and his store was in the Village

6:44 am

littlebit

Merry Christmas Babble buddies!!!

6:44 am

Eva

if you haven't see the you tube video of the high school kids in alaska doing the silent monks sink the hallelujah chorus you must

6:44 am

melonheadjujube

to you too lilbitty!

6:44 am

rubyfoo

Big merry christmas, littlebit

6:44 am

Kaplan the Magne

Queens is the city if you lived on the Island. If you were a manhattanite, they banished us

6:44 am

rubyfoo

that is a funny idea, eva

6:44 am

Eva

it's funny, but now NY is considered all the burroughs, but when I was growing up NY was ONLY the city.

6:44 am

Kaplan the Magne

I did mean the silicone valley in jest-

6:45 am

rubyfoo

right, kaplan, Nassau and Suffolk, pfui!

6:45 am

Eva

very snotty of us

6:45 am

rubyfoo

and I was just kidding, we used to say "going into the city" on the subway from Queens

6:45 am

Kaplan the Magne

Technically it's all the boroughs, and has been for a century, but manhattanites were territorial.

6:46 am

Kaplan the Magne

But now don't most Manhattanites come from wabash?

6:46 am

melonheadjujube

And i love how my friends from NJ say they're from"just outside NY"—you're not fooling anybody!

6:46 am

Kaplan the Magne

THE city.

6:46 am

melonheadjujube

Were? Are! And provincial. Most barely leave they're 20 square block territory.

6:46 am

Kaplan the Magne

IRT #7 to Times Sq.

6:46 am

rubyfoo

it's funny to watch the CSI mannhattan program because they seem to assume that nobody realizes that Queens and Brooklyn would not be covered by the same crime scenes.

6:46 am

Kaplan the Magne

And people from Weschester think they're New Yorkers. Phooey- Scarsdale.

6:47 am

rubyfoo

scarsdale, another pfui!

6:47 am

melonheadjujube

Love it, ruby!

6:47 am

melonheadjujube

sharing.

6:47 am

Kaplan the Magne

Is Yonkers called New City now?

6:47 am

melonheadjujube

feh, I say!

6:48 am

Eva

I don't think we were territorial so much as, like all kids, thinking our neighborhood was the center of the universe

6:48 am

melonheadjujube

sharing video, feh to scarsdale. clarifying.

6:48 am

rubyfoo

needless to say, we are pretty hard up for American programs here. Has anybody watched the Big C? It has just shown up here and is wonderful!!!!

6:48 am

Kaplan the Magne

I'll take Manhatten, the Bronx and Staten Island too/it's fun going to the zoo

as a child we lived much further north than we do now on a quiet dirt side road 15 minutes from a small town.the weather was harsher up there and more extreme than today and the december storms would often bury us in snow and keep us all housebound for the week of christmas.it was a fine time,everything was at hand and we would have the wood strove going,the house smelling like christmas cooking even before 9 am,music playing on the shortwave set and me in my footte jammies on the hardwood floor tearing apart my stocking my da doing a humongus brekkies while mum prepped christmas dinner:)

just rambling...

6:49 am

Eva

she's a great actress ruby

6:49 am

rubyfoo

on Yom Kippur, my best friend and I (and this is adults) used to walk all day and would take the Staten Island ferry, figuring that didn't count

6:49 am

Eva

good rambling cross

6:49 am

Kaplan the Magne

It's very fancy/on old Delancey street you know/the subway charms us so/where balmy breezes blow.to and fro

6:49 am

Eva

how does the ferry not count(-:

6:50 am

Kaplan the Magne

And tell me what street/compares with Mott Street in July/sweet pushcarts gently gliding by...

6:50 am

Eva

reminds me of the woody allen scene where his father goes to the neighbors on Yom Kippu and eats pork chops

6:50 am

rubyfoo

because it was free and you didn't pay anything for the great ride and wonderful views. We made it up as we went along, being pretty secular....

6:50 am

Kaplan the Magne

That was Lerner/Loew's toungue in cheek song

6:51 am

Eva

have you ever seen Crossing Delancey Kaplan?

6:51 am

rubyfoo

I was trying to remember those lines, Kaplan, but couldn't

6:51 am

rubyfoo

and then we'd eat dinner in Chinatown!

6:51 am

Kaplan the Magne

New york New York, it's a wonderful town!

6:51 am

rubyfoo

with Carole Kane?

6:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

Years ago i saw it.

6:52 am

Eva

which we will probably do today-or INdian...but in Boston instead of NY

6:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

Anyone who ate at Ratner's, raise your hand.

6:52 am

Eva

hand up

6:52 am

rubyfoo

I miss New York: the people first, the food next, and then all the rest, but haven't been to Manhattan since 9/11 which broke my heart

6:52 am

Kaplan the Magne

I''m in Boston, where re you?

6:52 am

rubyfoo

hand up!

6:52 am

Eva

anyone who can remember LIchtman's bakery on 86th and Amsterdam hands up

6:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

Ratner's rolls and a waiter named Abe.

6:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

I was more of a downtown girl.

6:53 am

Eva

JP. Used to live here full time, but now live in Vermont and come down every once in a while

6:53 am

rubyfoo

and the pickles!

6:53 am

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, I'm in somerville.

6:53 am

rubyfoo

I made a cheesecake today, for the first time, but it looks more like a souffle... :(

6:54 am

Kaplan the Magne

my dad's store was on Washington place.

6:54 am

Eva

will still taste great!

6:54 am

rubyfoo

what kind of store?

6:54 am

Eva

which store kaplan?

6:54 am

rubyfoo

I used mascarpone and speculoos for the crust

6:54 am

Eva

you just have to be careful not to beat too much air in

6:55 am

Kaplan the Magne

It was next to NYU and had a display of college jewelry- rings and trophies and such. It was called Scholastica. little hole in the wall.

6:55 am

rubyfoo

I think I left it in the oven too long and it turned brown on top. I'll probably eat the whole thing myself

6:56 am

Kaplan the Magne

If you got a college ring between 1950 and 1980 or so, chances were you ordered it through Scholastica.

6:56 am

rubyfoo

time to uncover and brown the humongous capon

6:56 am

rubyfoo

we just had a typical Queens candy store

6:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

City College, NYU, Pace, any of those. here I am remembering my dad on Christmas and we don't even celebrate.

6:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

I used to mail the boxes.

6:57 am

rubyfoo

my parents' birthdays were right around Christmas and it was the busy time at the store. They would both be past 100, had they lived that long

6:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

my brother and I once sent an empty box to someone we really hated, i remember.

6:58 am

rubyfoo

nice, kaplan!

6:58 am

crosshair

lol it warms my heart to hear you speak of your fond city memories,but cities are a mystery to crossy.we would wake up and look out at a huge mantle of snow that would of fallen overnight the trees heavy with the weight of it..all silent and cold and still with beauty perhaps you would spot a deer at the feeder if the winter had been real harsh and the feeder station set up,the sun turning the icicles hanging off the roof into a million diamonds and the nearest neighbour just a smudge of wood smoke in the distance...

6:58 am

Kaplan the Magne

And the college kids who worked for my dad -taught me about rock n' roll

6:59 am

Kaplan the Magne

must go have coffee

6:59 am

rubyfoo

that sounds wonderful, crossy!

6:59 am

Kaplan the Magne

ah, crossy is a poet.

11:50 am

periwinkle

11:50 am

rururocks

11:51 am

periwinkle

11:51 am

ivesy3

11:51 am

rururocks

I've been loaded on Potato vodka

11:52 am

MollyL

A passel of baked potatoes, scooped out into a buttered casserole dish with bacon, cheddar cheese, chives, scallions and sour cream.

11:52 am

rururocks

oh wow.. does that sound good

11:52 am

11:57 am

11:57 am

MollyL

No, not for at least a month and some serious treadmill time

11:58 am

rururocks

man does that sound delish though

11:58 am

MollyL

I only make it once a year, so I excuse the fat and calorie count.

11:58 am

rururocks

good thing crossy's not here

11:59 am

MollyL

The nice thing is, you can make it the night before so all you have to do is heat and eat.

12:00 pm

rururocks

how many are your cooking for?

12:01 pm

YadNivek

Merry Christmas to all!!

I'm cooking for five Ru.

12:02 pm

YadNivek

so far I like this board ;)

12:03 pm

MollyL

DeNiro, 68 and the father of a new baby.

12:04 pm

MollyL

His wife is 58. Not something I would choose at that stage of life.

12:04 pm

rururocks

that's sad.. that's really sad

12:04 pm

rururocks

58 are you kidding me?

12:04 pm

MollyL

It was through a surrogate.

12:04 pm

rururocks

the risks are incredible at that age

12:05 pm

rururocks

whew

12:05 pm

MollyL

Go ahead and throw stones at me, but I think it's selfish to have a baby at that age. The kid will be lucky to get ten good years with the parents.

12:06 pm

rururocks

I agree completely with you

12:06 pm

MollyL

Of course, with the money involved there, that kid will be raised by nannies.

12:07 pm

rururocks

I think the whole hommage to hollywood is stupid

12:49 pm

hootowl

How will that straighten the list?

11:06 pm

jmcnrick

11:06 pm

oh good idea welki! it is a wooden deck

11:07 pm

bleugirl2

ok then i need a clue

11:07 pm

welki

ta 6/18 = sounds like peppermint pa****** or hamburger *******

11:08 pm

welki

jmc - ours has a mesh cover for it, it's pretty good at keeping big cinders from flying out

11:08 pm

jmcnrick

it means ragged i think

11:08 pm

jmcnrick

shop worn

11:08 pm

bleugirl2

sounds british. what about the 7

11:08 pm

bleugirl2

6

11:08 pm

11:08 pm

jmcnrick

i haven't really looked at it yet--it is in a box and i have no intention taking it out until the construction guys leave

11:08 pm

bleugirl2

oh nevermind. singular.

11:09 pm

jmcnrick

pl

11:09 pm

jmcnrick

even with the mesh i think the firemat is a good idea

11:10 pm

cybernan

any clues wanted before I leave?

11:10 pm

welki

all you need to do is look the other way when a cinder silently pops out and finds a home in some dried leaves or a flower pot -- only takes a second.

11:11 pm

welki

yep, the firemat is a good idea, too

11:11 pm

jmcnrick

no i am giving up cyber but ty

11:11 pm

welki

anyway, just wanted to pop in and say hi - now it's time to pop out ... g'night everyone! "see" you tomorrow :)

11:12 pm

jmcnrick

well if i have in on my second floor deck i don't think there will be leaves on the other hand it could leap a long way -- i will have to think about this

11:12 pm

cybernan

ok -- good night all -- will have a look at the next one tomorrow some time :)
