Glantarell
food was really cheap when she was there last time - as long as you ate food grown on the island rather than imported
2:10 am
Glantarell
so i guess the pizza she saw was imported
2:11 am
sprite
probably, yes. That is usually a problem with islands.

2:46 pm
welki
hi folks (i sure like real bacon from real pigs way over the kind from those fake pigs :)
2:46 pm
stidmama
well... I feel guilty on the rare occasions I buy from factory-farms. The bacon we have been buying recently is from a farm further away, but that is known for humane and organic animal husbandry.
2:47 pm
welki
but - i love hego's giant cannoli much better
2:47 pm

nothing like fresh meat;)
2:47 pm

I know welki, just wanted to clarify my stern mama position on meats. *stern mama look at factory farms*
2:49 pm
crosshair
i know what you mean stidmama.we also buy our pork products from a local farm with good husbandry practices
2:50 pm
welki
yep, but on the other hand, most people can't afford to (or live too far away from in order to) purchase their meat from local slaughterhouses
2:50 pm
stidmama
My great grandfather (apparently) was very interested in taking good care of his animals -- had a degree in animal husbandry, which was rare for those days.
2:53 pm
crosshair
that why mennonite and amish food is always so good 9 times out of ten they are the source
2:53 pm
stidmama
True welki, so we feel fortunate to live in a rural area where it's not uncommon for people to have a few animals still. These smaller farms actually have the slaughter on site to minimize trauma to the animals who don't travel well. And then there is a local butcher shop that prepares the meat. Of course, there are "us" the local folks and the city people who are moving in because it is picturesque but don't know a hock from a butt...
2:54 pm
stidmama
Our place is too small for anything but chickens, but Tom has put his foot down on chickens... LOL so we buy our eggs and meat from our friends.
2:54 pm

Yep. It's labor-intensive and with my health I can't take on something like that without someone who is willing to do the work when I can't. So it's a no-go.
2:57 pm
crosshair
yes,the biggest pain is if you do not get the grit correct.then they may go for theri own eggs and once they get a taste for eggs
2:57 pm
stidmama
Well, I would send you the jar of it, but I honestly don't know if it's any good! I have no way to compare it to what it should taste like. And I don't actually eat jams and jellies very often...
2:57 pm
stidmama
oh, I did NOT know that!
2:58 pm
crosshair
and they are not smart birds,one night the heat lamp faied and when we went in there in the morning,two of them had stood in the water trough long enough so that it froze around their feet!

an foot diseases!
2:59 pm
crosshair
and rickets!
2:59 pm
stidmama
oh no! Well I know meat chickens tend to be pretty stupid. I thought layers were a little more intelligent, though.
3:00 pm
crosshair
and you cannot let old removed bedding lay around,cause it is ten times as nasty has horse/cow/sheep manure
3:01 pm
stidmama
yes, I know that chicken excrement is quite powerful. Going to go buy some this afternoon (well aged) to put in my cold frame so I can plant again for a fall crop.
3:01 pm
crosshair
crossy likes moo poo for fertilizer
3:02 pm
stidmama
I am hoping that next year I will have made enough money working that I can pay for a half yard or so of good horse manure (can't do cow with my allergies).
3:02 pm

(we had to take our shoes off before going into the chicken coop - ugh)
3:02 pm
stidmama
*shudder* I can only imagine the squishiness...
3:02 pm
crosshair
horse poop is fine as well
3:04 pm
stidmama
okay, the women's 1500 is almost over. I should head back to work... down to 37 (was at 53 when I came in). See you-all again soon. *poof*

sorry for the slow response my roommate just walked in to tell me about the non-repair of her car
3:12 pm
welki
Ohhh, I love it short!!! You wear the cut and color well, my friend!! It's a fun hairdo - lasso that hairdresser and make sure you live a long and happy life together! (I KNOW how you hate going)
3:13 pm
jmcnrick
he is older than i am!
3:14 pm
jmcnrick
but he is a good hairdresser and doesn't want to make conversation so i can just sit and read
3:14 pm
welki
i like that, too - don't much care for the chit-chat either
3:15 pm
jmcnrick
i don't mean to sound like a snob but i rarely have anything in common with the hairdressers.
3:16 pm
crosshair
read your bio on that site jmc..you be one smart cookie:))
3:16 pm
welki
i know exactly what you mean - and when we come up empty like that, the conversation resorts to stuff like, 'so where are you going for vacation," or "busy day at work?" - i understand the pleasantries, but would rather just have my hair cut and go home
3:17 pm
welki
i talk all day at work - by the end of the day, i'm tired of yakkin'
3:17 pm
jmcnrick
i struggle enough making conversation with the trainer at the gym. . . a nice enough guy but i don't really care about the dumbbell lifting tournaments . . .so we chat about baseball

hi red. I'm fine.
6:07 pm
rururocks
not sure if anyone else is here
6:09 pm
redturtlehead
Well, glad you are fine. I often seemto hurt the chat into silence.
6:09 pm
rururocks
that's my main forte too
6:09 pm
rururocks
as well as eliciting groans
6:10 pm
redturtlehead
Not you ru, we heart you.
6:11 pm
rururocks
well.. they were sure groaning last night
6:11 pm
redturtlehead
I must have missed.

Wow, I still have 46 left. Did everyone hadve the day off or babble at work?
6:13 pm

Groaning? It's like I've said, this place has a minimal sense of humor. Shame about that.

hi again all!

Exhausted and can not have any sense of humor. nuts.
6:16 pm

hello sue and stid and mollyL
6:17 pm
rururocks
stid ..your life sounds crazy
6:17 pm
uusue2
sorry you are worn out, red - do you get to relax over the weekend?
6:17 pm
stidmama
Don't give a durn about humor, just want to finish. And finish all the tasks I started today. Neither looks likely.
6:17 pm
stidmama
it is, ruru, but for what reason are you thinking?
6:18 pm
redturtlehead
It should be a good weekend uusue. I had some issues with our lab and the health department today, and it really wore on me. I could not get either one of them to converse with each other.
6:18 pm
rururocks
you always seem to be rushing around.
6:18 pm
rururocks
not a comment.. just an observation
6:18 pm
uusue2
ah well - I am supposed to give the publisher another 11 chapters on the 15th but I told them there is no way (partly their fault, they got me the material late). So I am going to relax and enjoy myself and get them done efficiently but not frantically.
6:18 pm
stidmama
wouldn't a person who goes to a hootenany be a hootenanier?
6:19 pm
uusue2
I think there are more n's in that, stid
6:19 pm
stidmama
I am usually rushing around, ruru -- stealing time from life to babble.
6:19 pm
stidmama
good for you sue!
6:19 pm
rururocks
<---would rather have a hooternanny
6:19 pm
redturtlehead
I wondered if anyone else had seen the word Hootenanie!
6:19 pm
stidmama
oops! RURU!!!
6:19 pm
uusue2
red, I'm glad you will have a good weekend - sounds like you could use some decompression time!
6:20 pm
MollyL
Appreciates the sense of humor that created hooternanny, even if no one else does. : P
6:20 pm
redturtlehead
Oh my Ruru, well ne of our Florida Law Makers...is a promoter for Hooters...
6:21 pm
uusue2
well, I was thinking about hooters and nannies, and wondering if ruru was going to be in Canada, and somehow didn't get a response typed
6:22 pm
uusue2
I heard a rumor that you were going to try to get up to Bugsaw's, ruru
6:22 pm
rururocks
ne 5/`18? is it obvious
6:22 pm
redturtlehead
oooh. babbler meetup.
6:23 pm
uusue2
yes, stid and I will be there, as well as hego
6:23 pm
rururocks
found it
6:23 pm
rururocks
*smacks head*
6:23 pm
uusue2
so was it obvious, ruru?
6:23 pm
stidmama
don't have to rush off as fast as I thought... Grant is not going to taekwondo (again) He'll go tomorrow or I will throw one heckuva fit
6:23 pm
rururocks
I don't have a passport. I forgot you need a passport to get into Canada now
6:24 pm
uusue2
oh, bummer.
6:24 pm
rururocks
but I do hope you all have a great time
6:24 pm
redturtlehead
I can not find anything, I still have 46 here.
6:24 pm
uusue2
32 here, red, still looking for the ne5/18
6:25 pm
stidmama
crumbs, ruru! Well, for next time, there are other options -- cheaper is a passport card which is good for land and sea crossings to Canada and Mexico. Our state also has an enhanced driver's license which can be used for the same purpose. I went with the passport card...
6:25 pm
redturtlehead
I need to renew my passport...
6:26 pm
stidmama
I have a real passport (again) too, but the card can just hang out in my wallet in case I have a sudden urge to visit Jillibus or Hetty or Saanichcat or Flosey or Bugs, or...
6:27 pm
uusue2
I lost mine and getting a new one was quite a hassle - turned out the things I'd been using as a birth certificate (successfully in the past) aren't good enough any more, so I had to get a new birth certificate as well. Was glad I started the whole process 3 months before my trip last December.
6:27 pm
rururocks
how do you get a passport card?
6:27 pm
MollyL
*Note to self: Cancel plans for Ruru award.
6:27 pm
stidmama
same way as a passport, ruru -- it's just cheaper
6:28 pm
uusue2
is it any quicker, stid?
6:28 pm
rururocks
guessing it's not a good idea to wear a turban when you get one?
6:29 pm
stidmama
there is an application you can fill out online, then you need a current photo ID like a driver's license, an official copy of your birth certificate and a passport photo.
6:29 pm
stidmama
It's not quicker, sue -- but it's not a long wait, either. Just a few weeks.
6:29 pm
uusue2
well, you should probable wear *something*, ruru, but maybe not a turban.
6:30 pm
stidmama
Only if you wear a turban all the time, ruru *frowny mama face* There are some exceptions to the "no headgear" rule for religious people.
6:30 pm
uusue2
Although there was a guy in Florida who insisted he was a pastafarian and got them to allow him to wear a strainer on his head for his drivers license picture.

I am good, min! We went to the steam show today - I put a bunch of pictures on Facebook. Lots of 100-year-old steam-powered farm equipment (maybe you have to be a farm geek to think this is cool)
6:35 pm
uusue2
gee, I just totally made up the bi6/24! A round of drinks for the monkeys!
6:35 pm

okay, down to 29, will check one more thing online then back to work *stern mama look at self* I think taking a migraine pill right now would be a good idea, too. *poof*

I'm just waiting for another surgery on my knee.
6:35 pm
uusue2
bye, stid!
6:35 pm
rururocks
ugh blue.. i haven't had mine yet even
6:36 pm
uusue2
oh, bummer, blue, knees can be such a nuisance
6:36 pm
Minveryork
Goodbye stidmama! I'll see you later in the chog maybe.
6:36 pm
uusue2
do you have it scheduled, ruru? You've been talking about it for a while...
6:36 pm
rururocks
no.. i'm not there yet
6:37 pm
uusue2
ah, waiting for it to get worse? (I did that with my first one; with the second I said the heck with it, do it now)
6:38 pm
rururocks
I just can't be invalid for a while.. I'm too busy
6:38 pm
uusue2
ah yes - I had one of my knees replaced over Christmas for that reason
6:38 pm
blueheron
Its funny, but it really isn't, I had a knee surgery one year ago to this date. I'm sick and tired of not being able to take a walk down the street without the pain.
6:39 pm
blueheron
invalid ruru?
6:39 pm
rururocks
an invalid
6:40 pm
uusue2
is it a total replacement, ruru?
6:41 pm
rururocks
on one knee
6:41 pm
blueheron
I'm going in for 2 more tears in my cartilige (sp)\
6:41 pm
rururocks
my good praying knee :D
6:41 pm
uusue2
ah, that's a minimum of 3-4 weeks, in my experience
6:41 pm
blueheron
I want a total replacement.
6:42 pm
uusue2
it's not a fun surgery, blue, but I'm glad they can do it - otherwise I wouldn't be able to walk.
6:42 pm
blueheron
how was your recovery time?
6:43 pm
uusue2
first one was a good 8 weeks. second one they did a newer, less disruptive procedure, and it was more like 4 weeks
6:44 pm
blueheron
what was the disruptive procedure?
6:45 pm
uusue2
they cut the muscle - otherwise they push it aside (at least that is my rather superficial understanding)
6:46 pm
blueheron
less distruptive?
6:46 pm
uusue2
that's where they push the muscles out of the way rather than cutting them - it makes for a faster recovery but I guess it must be trickier or something
6:47 pm
uusue2
(sorry this is a little explicit)
6:50 pm
uusue2
anyway, if you have it done you have to be really good about the rehab - it is hard but you need to do it to get full range of motion
6:51 pm
blueheron
ok honey
6:51 pm
uusue2
and I am not 100% pain free (although it would probably help if I lost some weight) but I am a lot better than before the replacements
6:54 pm
uusue2
ok, I have discovered that the key to this grid is to put an a on the end of any word that ends in a vowel, and sometimes add an e to that
6:54 pm
blueheron
I just want to be able to go out and take my dog for a walk, walk the beach, work in my flower gardens.
6:55 pm
uusue2
I hear you, blue! :-)
6:58 pm
rururocks
I have lost some weight.. so hopefully I"ll lose more before I have this done
6:59 pm
rururocks
<---looking semi-svelte
6:59 pm
uusue2

6:59 pm
blueheron
I just saw your beautiful face on your profile:))
6:59 pm
rururocks
my greek half
7:00 pm
rururocks
you mean uu's
7:00 pm
uusue2
I don't think that's ruru's face on his profile (although I suppose it could be his teeth)
7:00 pm
rururocks
that's me!
7:00 pm
rururocks
I'm Baaad to the bone
7:01 pm
uusue2

7:02 pm
uusue2
aww - you are very sweet, blue!
7:03 pm
rururocks
did you hear about the vibrator give away in NYC?
7:03 pm
uusue2
No! Did I miss it?
7:04 pm
rururocks
they made them stop giving them away.. and shut down the booth
7:04 pm
rururocks
...talk about a buzz kill...
7:06 pm
Bugsaw
I laughed out loud
7:07 pm
Bugsaw
hi everyone
7:07 pm
rururocks
<---can't help himself.. but it is a true story
7:07 pm
uusue2
so I DID miss it. Rats.
7:08 pm
rururocks
it's in the papers.. no big sodas and no big.. er...well..
7:10 pm
Bugsaw
thanks for the laugh. Off to see if my car battery is cured
7:10 pm

good luck with it, bugs! See you in a week!
7:14 pm

Ru, I don't know what is funnier. The jokes you make or the reactions they get. : D
7:31 pm
MollyL
The funniest part of that story is that the "vendors" did not have the proper permits. I bet the New York City permitting office had never seen an application like that before.
7:44 pm

I have be4/6 babbling, with breaks in betw5/18,since ni 4/4 this morning. I am pulling my ha 4/5 out trying to find the last four words.Monkeys just we4/8 on a break.So I will write a story.Wish my hubby would get off his he 6/21 and get a job already! I do not give one io4/4 if it is a job at McDonald's. Hubby hasn't contributed anything financially for 2 years.Feel like he's a te6/18 living here rent-free. He has this in5/10 idea that because I am an he4/5 to a fortune, he can live off of me. He might think that is a ne4/4 idea, but I don't! I ha4/5 to break it to him, but if that's his in6/18ion,it isn't going to happen.He has had some interviews,but no one has hi4/5d him yet. My monkeys have returned with re 5/18ed energy. So we are going to jump back in4/4 the grid. I'm going to be 4/6 this grid. I am hell be 4/6 on getting my last four words. Hope you have made no4/4 of my clues and obta4/4ed some more words. If hubby does not cause a ri4/4 and demand the computer in a nasty to 4/4 later, I'll be back later toni4/4 to help out w/clues if needed.Bye for now.

I"m a terrible troll, I can't be grammatically incorrect unless I"m not trying....
10:37 pm

10:38 pm
torgone
But it got you the word, yes?
10:38 pm
harpjane
enable says the one b word is a grape and the two b word is bonier
10:40 pm

Hello cosdem!How are you doing? Welcome to the chog
11:40 pm
Minveryork
Oh,maybe that is the reason for my giddiness stidmama
11:42 pm
stidmama
could be, middle schoolers, especially, are susceptible to candy-derived behaviors
11:42 pm
stidmama
hey cos
11:43 pm
stidmama
hoping for another moderate grid -- 120-150 would be lovely
11:44 pm
Minveryork
My guess for next grid size is 428 words. We're about due for a whopper size grid.But I do not want a big one
11:45 pm
cosdem
i do i do i do
11:46 pm
stidmama
That's true, we are in statistical whopper territory, though we might get another 40 word grid just to spite the fates.
11:46 pm
stidmama
LOL cos!
11:47 pm
cosdem
i have the news on. theyr'e all going wild
11:47 pm
stidmama
why, cos?
11:48 pm

romney to announce VP tomorrow morning. all sources saying its congressman paul ryan
11:49 pm

cosdem
300 and we
11:50 pm
cosdem
will call it even
11:50 pm
stidmama
oh that -- *sigh* I am so tired of the politics already. The really intelligent people are ready reliable news (NOT the evening news!) and aren't going to be swayed by the insane campaigns. But they are really playing to the lowest common denominator in the last few election cycles.
11:50 pm
stidmama
nope. 278 and that;s my final offer...
11:51 pm
torgone
Pick Paul Ryan and then try to convince us you care about the middle class .. Yeah ..
11:51 pm
stidmama
sorry about typos, I burned my index finger on a griddle tonight and ... let's just say the bandage is making it hard to type
11:53 pm
Minveryork
OUCH stidmama!
11:53 pm
gapeach
Stiddie do you have an aloe plant? They are very good for burns. Good for facials too.
11:53 pm
stidmama
that's what I said, Min! only a little louder, and with some embellishments...
11:53 pm
cosdem
agreed torgone. its a gift to obama and the democrats
11:53 pm
stidmama
I managed to kill off the last aloe, we don't get enough sun in the winter for them to make it, peach, but it was my first thought.
11:54 pm
Minveryork
Paul Ryan was the name of a soap opera character on ATWT.Bet the real Paul Ryan is nothing like the fictional.
