I like the way the Swiss deal with the hyphen - one way round before the divorce, other way afterwards! So my cousin was Mme C. P-B and then afterwards Mme C. P-B !

Hi ruby. Prune roses? How often do you do that? I have a rose bush out front I was going to cut out this summer, and then if bloomed like crazy this year (after 3 yoears of very few blooms)

I planted a Peace rose out front about 10 years ago. It had beautiful yellow with blush pink flowers; but about 5 years ago it must have been hit with frost and then I've had deep red (and thorny) roses since. It's had some marvelous flowers, but the past 3 years it didn't do much at all; so I was thinking I'd dig it out and replace it. But over the past 2 months it's been spectacular with tons of flowers again

Scrabs, I'd have to be at work about an hour before our first pt. at our prenatal clinic; setting things up, etc. Our Midwives would come in about 20 minutes before the 1st client too. But to have 3 No Shows at the start of the day would set the whole rhythm of the day off. Or, they'd come in the late afternoon saying that they'd forgotten til then (or couldn't get a ride or whatever) and we'd end up there late.

I think that many poor, uneducated/unemployed people do not have a calendar (paper or on phone) because everyday is the same--no schedule to life. No work days/weekends. etc.

no no, nef, it was pre-emptive -- thinking about 5 may makes me want one!
8:48 am
Nef

okay, ruby! :-)
8:49 am

Scrabs, that's so true. Among my clients, if they do have a calendar, it may be in their phone -which is often shut off due to unpaid bill

We took her to the ER and she had 15 stitches put in (our steri-strips didn't do the job and the CNM didn't think she could stitch her up without scarring her). The girl was "Styling her guys' hair and puleed it;" he pulled out a knife and sliced her for that

yeah it's weird he LOVES it SO MUCH. so, i got one of those crinkle sacks where it sounds the same but it's enclosed in fabric.

sure sounds like it, carlee! I am so impressed with your preparations. And inspired. Thinking I might try dehydrating a few things this summer for use in the winter when I don't have energy to cook. Also, the freezer is going to be premium space this year (Mother is buying half a pig and 18 chickens, so some of that is coming our way), so I have to learn some new food saving strategies! LOL

dehydrating may take forever. And I need to make space in the freezer if I go that route.

why need freezer space for jam?...just get some certo and sugar.. boil....oh is sooo yummmm
11:59 am

I've dried on cookie sheets and a rack over the pilot light of my oven, but have had a dehydrator for years now, fruit leather and dried apples are my grandsons favorites! but wild leeks, corn, string beans, even zucchini and tomatoes, work well.

okay. DH made fried green tomatoes (after the movie came out) and we "sort of" like those; but the grits sound--- different.
12:10 pm
hurshy

ah, thanks. so they did not have peace signs and tie dye
12:10 pm
carleekat

but in asheville hip and hippie are synonomous
12:10 pm
Nef

I guess I can't get past the idea that grits arereally boiled breakfast cereal.
12:10 pm
hurshy

hmm that is odd
12:11 pm
carleekat

nef..if u put some cayenne in the bread crumb mixture...zips them up
12:11 pm
carleekat

asheville is a city unto itself...very trendy... artsy... with a whole underground hippie culture
12:12 pm
Nef

I guess I need to go down south and have some of these thingsdone up right. DH is the adventerous gourmet cook in this house; but the grits he's made just didn't excite us....
12:12 pm

7:22 pm

7:24 pm
redturtlehead

how is your hubby?
7:25 pm
Nef

I need to share... DH decided to clean his keyboard on Saturday. He took ALL the keys out to do it; it took him 2 days to put it back together (and I had to get him an old one to copy; but his keyboard had a lot more keys that the rest of them around here.
7:26 pm

Oh WOW...

7:27 pm

Nef, it's really easier to just get a new keyboard. They aren't expensive.
7:27 pm
redturtlehead

I have a mac, i think its a little different thank Molly!
7:27 pm
Nef

macs are different
7:28 pm
MollyL

Oh, okay. I am not MAC proficient. But I'm sure it has a similar feature. You will just have to look it up.
7:29 pm
Nef

cleaning helps too if there's something under it
7:33 pm
redturtlehead

I think it may just be a bit wet....we are a little wet here. BUt if it continues, I will have to deal with it...
7:33 pm
redturtlehead

I am glad there are none of that letter in the grid.
7:34 pm
redturtlehead

It would be easy to get a new keyboard, but its a lap top....alas alack alay.
7:34 pm
Nef

it's in at least 2 F words
7:35 pm
Nef

red, you can plug a regular keyboard into a laptop and it works just fine. That's what we did when I worked in triage....
7:37 pm
MollyL

I hate to break it to you Red, but the last letter of the alphabet is used in some words in this grid.
7:37 pm
redturtlehead

I could... somehow this will work out. I'm waiting for the trial coverage to start again...running!

I have almost attained fi 4/7works.Here is a story ri 4/7 with clues. My niece just learned how to cr 5/20. She is so cu 4/6! However, she is also a little de 6/30 because she goes to places she knows she isn't supposed to go to She has become very de 4/8 at disappearing. The more she cr5/20s the de6/30 she gets.Sometimes we have to do 4/5 on her to get her toys so she does not disappear. If we take our eyes off my niece for just a little minute, she will dr5/18 off to places unknown.She moves about with such fi6/30ness & speed, we have to put the gates up by all the stairs.Once my brother was ir4/5 when the babysitter let my niece cr5/20 outside toward the road. If her brother hadn't seen her, she might have fl4/8 the front yard. My brother was so angry that he fi 5/18 the babysitter. Of course he would not give the babysitter a reference le 6/18 to get a new job. Husband wants the computer. I fr 4/7 what he'll do if I do not give it to him so I will give it to him. Now that I have to 4/5 my story I am going to go watch the Eastwood movie "High Plains Dr 7/44".I will be back after the movie to help w/clues.

Dorens

once my (then) husband was piloting a small private plane with me and (our then) two year old son. and he lost power to an engine and was looking for a place to emergency land. And i was afraid to ask him how bad it was so i assumed the very worst. I made so many bargains and promises in the form of prayer that day!

what ended up happening?
9:07 pm
Dorens

it was kind of an insane moment. never went happily in a plane with him again after that. and yay nef!
9:08 pm
rururocks

That would pretty much keep me out of small planes too
9:08 pm
Nef

me too!
9:08 pm
Nef

With that I bid you all a good night.
9:08 pm
Dorens

he found a very small airport not far from where we were and he landed there. we got friends or family to come pick us up, we were about two hours from home. i don't remember what was wrong with the plane, but i certainly remember my emotions and thinking. and pleading with my mythical god of the moment
9:09 pm

don't remember ru, but if so i could always blame it on jeremy... he was just two and in diapers then. But this past friday he coauthored the lead article for th New England journal of Medicine's 200th anniversary issue (by invitation)
9:13 pm
Minveryork

Congratulations wht on your sparklers tonight! Way to go!
9:13 pm
rururocks

wow.. that's a big deal
9:14 pm
rururocks

you have such bright kids..
9:14 pm
Dorens

yeah... he is a hot shot medical historian, so it would make sense.
9:14 pm
Dorens

thanks.. i used to take partial credit, but lately i am more of the mind that they get it all from their father (even if he did idiotically insist on flying those tin cans with wings)
9:15 pm

Congratulations to Jeremy and his proud Mom.
9:15 pm

Let's keep that between you and I, Wht. It would ruin my "Black sheep Babbler" reputation. But thanks.

Dorens, Molly is a prophet. When I started I said that I didn't know if I would finish, and she said I would.
9:16 pm
Dorens

(he also went off to the 200th anniversary gala and left me to babysit. next night was a reception at the Museum of Fine ARts and i was supposed to bring the kids, but Levi was under the weather and slept too late

I do finish more than I don't, but I didn't give myself all day, today.
9:18 pm
Dorens

this one doesn't seem so bad, though, is it?
9:18 pm
wht

And I didn't finish the 700 word grid. :^)
9:18 pm
wht

No this one was pretty straighforward.
9:19 pm
MollyL

It is my contention that the 744 drew the line between the hard core Babblers and those of us who consider it sport.
9:20 pm
Dorens

nice term there," hard core". has a nicer ring than mine, which is "truly insane" (of course i am one of them)
9:20 pm
rururocks

744 wasn't for sissies that is for sure
9:20 pm
wht

Well, I had to start that one just to see what I could do, even though I only had an hour or two to work on it.
9:21 pm
wht

I wonder how long it took gremlinn to finish that one. 45 minutes?
9:21 pm
rururocks

it certainly was challenging
9:21 pm
Dorens

i had to finish it, just because i am "truly insane"
9:22 pm
rururocks

<---in the loony bin too
9:22 pm

Good for you dorens. That is a good kind of insanity.
9:23 pm

9:25 pm

really ru? why can't i just be normal and do this in moderation?
9:25 pm
wht

Did you enjoy your dinner, Dorens. I haven't been there in a while. But Arlington has a lot of great restuarants.
9:25 pm
MollyL

Hard core, it's like the difference between alcoholics who drink straight out of the bottle and the rest of us, who use a glass. : P
9:25 pm
Dorens

yup. surprisingly good. a nice salad with black beans, avocado, etc. and chocolate goat cheesecake for dessert. even the coffee was good
9:28 pm
Dorens

so mol, are you accusing me of drinking straight from the bottle, now?
?
9:28 pm
wht

Sounds great, Dorens. I might have to give it another try.
9:29 pm
MollyL

No Doren, I know you use lovely glasses and lift your pinky just so. : )
9:29 pm
Dorens

(and the pizzas were good too, but i let jeremy order and he got things like pickle pizza with swiss and chorizo. and goat cheese, arugala, strawberries and balsamic reduction. strawberries!! on pizza!
9:30 pm
Dorens

lovely glasses from time to time, mol. but finish it up straight from the bottle from time to time
9:31 pm
MollyL

Oh my GOD! Those are the grossest pizza toppings I have ever heard of.
9:32 pm
Dorens

i know! but believe it or not they still tasted good. i think i was very hungry
9:33 pm
MollyL

Sorry, but I'm a non-believer when it comes to things like that. Pizza is sacred and should not be messed with in such a way.
9:33 pm
wht

They have to be good, because in addition to all the good restuarants, there are something like 27 pizza places in Arlington. So Za tries to combine the two.
9:34 pm
Dorens

no need to apologize molly. it did seem sort of gross, even tho it tasted good. at least they didn't order the mac n cheese pizza. and yes, they really are good
9:35 pm
MollyL

Doren, if I have pizza nightmares tonight, I am going to hold your son responsible. : O
9:35 pm
Dorens

what are your favorite places wht?
9:36 pm
Dorens

haha, molly, go right ahead. but don't hunt him down when he moves to md and stalk him, ok?
9:36 pm
wht

Punjab, Scutra and Acitron.
9:37 pm
MollyL

I won't. But they are going to laugh his ass right out of Little Italy if he ever tries to order pizza that way there.
9:37 pm
Dorens

i like sofra
9:38 pm
wht

I don't think I have been there, Dorens. What kind of food do they serve?
9:38 pm
Dorens

he only ordered it that way cause it was on the chalkbaord as specials
9:38 pm
Dorens

middle eastern, which is one of my favorite cuisines
9:39 pm

oh the menu at acitron looks good! hope to try it sometime
