Marais

This is strange dictionary. It takes miso, not bento (another puzzle) It won't take spam--maybe it thinks its a brand name, not a tech term?

12:57 am

rururocks

It won't take spam .. because no one around here eats it... yuck

12:57 am

jillibus

yes, marai, enable is strange indeed. Scroll down in my profile...

12:57 am

jillibus

*marais -- sorry

12:57 am

Book Doctor Gwen

yeah, it is apparently an old pre-computer dictionary. won't take a lot of common (newish) words

12:58 am

sammysmom

according to my grandson, spam is a poper noun and a food group. he says most college kids are aware of thes

12:58 am

Book Doctor Gwen

it won't take internet or email, for example

12:58 am

Book Doctor Gwen

spam is also a tech term, and wordsplay takes it

12:59 am

Marais

@jill - I saw your profile. Very odd selection procees. I guess it's still in the 1970's. oops, dating myself.

1:13 am

jillibus

turf toe?

1:13 am

rururocks

does it involve cocktails?

1:14 am

dizgrannie

1:30 am

KatieMcG

worried about what group I land in lol

1:31 am

dizgrannie

I reckon you'd be in the chatters group,Katie.

1:31 am

Haz1558

But maybe you can be in one group to begin with and then progress to another.

1:32 am

VolleymomDee

I think I change groups depending how my "real" life is going :)

1:32 am

KatieMcG

I'm hoping so diz :) I certainly not a serious and hoping not a holier than thou :)

1:32 am

KatieMcG

(((((Haz))))))) long time no see, how are you and yours?

1:32 am

grannyrose

evening/ morning all. well i definitely know which group i fall into. lol

1:32 am

VolleymomDee

hi haz!

1:32 am

KatieMcG

Morning granny & Dee

1:33 am

dizgrannie

which one Granny - the holier than thou....hehehehe

1:33 am

grannyrose

hey katie, dee, haz, diz, pav, ruru

1:33 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all. I usually observe silently at this time... I refuse to be called a lurker, it makes me sound shifty.

1:33 am

VolleymomDee

hi katie

1:33 am

KatieMcG

lol diz

1:33 am

grannyrose

naughty girl, diz. but of course.

1:34 am

Haz1558

Hello, Katie, I'm fine, just waiting to do the morning run to the station with my daughter. The only running is done by the car.

1:34 am

PAV3

hi Granny!

1:34 am

VolleymomDee

I agree haz... never liked that term "lurker"... some are just introverted and come for the peace and quiet

1:34 am

KatieMcG

I'm about to make hubby's lunch - really not sure why this is my job but it appears to be so :)

1:35 am

grannyrose

hey dee, you called me a lurker the other day/night. ;P

1:35 am

Haz1558

I keep pushing for either 'interested onlooker' or 'silent observer' but it doesn't seem to work for most.

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

ooops, so sorry granny... didn't mean it derogatorily

1:36 am

grannyrose

i think i probably have a toe in just about all the groups. lol

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

depends on the day for me, gran...

1:36 am

grannyrose

i know dee, was having a lend of you. i know YOU wouldn't say anything to hurt me.

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

we need another category "all of the above"

1:37 am

VolleymomDee

:)

1:37 am

Haz1558

We have to find out which is ruru's favourite group and aim for it.

1:37 am

grannyrose

lol. nice one dee. and haz, ruru doesn't need any help with aiming, i'm sure.

1:37 am

VolleymomDee

I think ru probably likes the lively conversationalists

1:38 am

VolleymomDee

I get enough of that from hubby lol

1:38 am

PAV3

after a couple, all guys have trouble aiming...

1:39 am

grannyrose

dee, physio very pleased with me today. swelling just about completely gone. range of movement excellent. just have to get pain under control. hydro days are killers.

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

LOL LOL

1:39 am

rururocks

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

sooooo happy for great progress!

1:39 am

grannyrose

pfft....bourbon all over keyboard...PAV

1:40 am

VolleymomDee

speaking of hubby... he said any time you want to come visit ru and cook lamb, you are invited :)

1:40 am

Haz1558

ruru, what inspired you to categorise the groups?

1:40 am

PAV3

don't get your tongue stuck between the keys!

1:41 am

rururocks

hmmm...long story Haz

1:42 am

rururocks

i needed to get it off my chest so to speak

1:42 am

grannyrose

and btw, hopefully going to catch up with mrp on the wekend, via phone. any messages?

1:42 am

Haz1558

Which you're not going to tell.

1:42 am

PAV3

granny, please let her know I am very much alive...I miss her too!

1:43 am

rururocks

I think it says a lot

1:43 am

Haz1558

I can read between the lines, I think.

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

hugs for her from afar :)

1:43 am

scouser

hi grannyrose - send my best wishes to mrp and tell her she's missed.

1:44 am

2:02 am

grannyrose

blink....oh ...FOR people.....my eyes skipped that 'for'

2:02 am

rururocks

scotch.. my kind of guy

2:02 am

VolleymomDee

single malt

2:02 am

VolleymomDee

lol gran

2:03 am

rururocks

oh.. better yet

2:03 am

KatieMcG

fantastic Dee, I miss Mari when she goes on holiday I would be besides myself if I was seeing her after 6 months

2:03 am

rururocks

my last name isn't Donner granny jeezus

2:03 am

VolleymomDee

fortunately, we have seen her, Katie, but at her home, not ours, so this will be fun...only her 2nd time in our new house

2:03 am

KatieMcG

I have bought hubby a limited edition bottle for his birthday (1 of 180) a one barrel lot, it cost a fortune but I'm hoping he will enjoy it

2:04 am

KatieMcG

I'm sure you will have a fantastic time

2:04 am

VolleymomDee

oooh, sounds amazing, Katie. Hubby is member of the Scotch Society in Scotland... he hoards his money, so he can purchase some of their special bottles like that.

2:04 am

VolleymomDee

What a great gift!

2:04 am

grannyrose

lol, ruru...

2:05 am

VolleymomDee

happy they are coming this weekend, got disappointing news today that my brother won't be able to come for Thanksgiving, so I have been in a snit all evening.

2:05 am

KatieMcG

it was an impulse buy but on reflection I'm really pleased with it. Hubby now has 3 decent bottles of peaty malt. I might get him a membership to an appreciation society for Christmas

2:06 am

grannyrose

how disappointing, dee. there's nothing like a family get together with everyone there.

2:06 am

KatieMcG

Oh I am sorry Dee, so disappointing when you have been looking forward to it.

2:06 am

VolleymomDee

My hubby loves the peaty ones I like the clear ones like Dalwinnie (sorry I can't spell that)

2:06 am

grannyrose

i think you on4 said you had quite a large extended family like me?

2:07 am

VolleymomDee

Definitely... felt he could have declined the "commitment" that came up, so miffed and disappointed...

2:07 am

VolleymomDee

Most of my family (my side) has died, but large family on hubby's side.

2:08 am

VolleymomDee

and my nieces and nephews and sis live very far away

2:08 am

VolleymomDee

okay, I am done bitching... ty for letting me blow off steam... all better now :)

2:08 am

VolleymomDee

HUGS to all my babble buds!!!

2:09 am

rururocks

*covers ears*

2:09 am

grannyrose

s'okay, dee. we all need to do it.

2:09 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} for dee

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

lol ru

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

waving!!!

2:10 am

KatieMcG

rant receiving is only one of the many services we offer :)

2:12 am

grannyrose

oh, in that ca4...*pulls up soapbox, and climbs on*.....

2:12 am

KatieMcG

I must also go and start work. We are getting communicator at home soon so we can 'face to face' when working at home so I'm going to make the most of being able to work in my fluffy pink robe whilst I can.

2:13 am

grannyrose

later, kate. hope you have a good day.

2:13 am

scouser

Katie - it was only a matter of time before the shirt-and-tie / little black frock invaded the home!

2:16 am

rbud

*grabs popcorn, waits for g'rose's soapbox speech*

2:16 am

grannyrose

lol, rbud.....please don't hold your breath, blue just isn't your colour.

2:17 am

rbud

rats, you mean you were only kidding? I was ready...

2:19 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah, right....maybe another night when i get really worked up about something.....then again.....nah, will leave it.

2:20 am

rbud

lol! well then, carry on as usual! :)

2:20 am

grannyrose

i tried so many ways for that ph7*shakes head* got it NOW....

2:23 am

rbud

wow, that's an odd one

2:23 am

grannyrose

told you so...

2:27 am

rbud

aha! just over half now, a couple of 8's... may have to go back to curtain making. I was delayed by a lack of materials - store didn't have quite enough of what I wanted. have had to change plan a bit.

2:28 am

rbud

but the ironing board and sewing machine are beckoning again.

2:28 am

grannyrose

so frustrating rbud. especially when you have your heart set on a particular material, pattern, colour.

2:29 am

rururocks

must be a pressing subject rbud

2:29 am

grannyrose

* giggle* i shut the door on my ironing board this AM. if i can't see it.....it just might disappear.

2:30 am

rururocks

my eyes are burning.. good night granny

2:31 am

grannyrose

should be your ears, ruru...lol

2:31 am

grannyrose

or are you really saying goodnight?

2:34 am

rururocks

my ears?

2:34 am

grannyrose

guess it was goodnight...sleep well, mate

2:38 am

grannyrose

yes, dear...i was sharing your witticisms with Don

2:40 am

rururocks

my witticisms? like what?

2:41 am

grannyrose

pressing subject for one. he is a great punstertoo, as you know.

The chog police or the icon warriors, you mean?

2:46 am

grannyrose

haz, chog police, i'm under attack at the moment. it's all so silly and pathetic.

2:46 am

Haz1558

Oh dear.

2:47 am

Haz1558

I've been in the same position and I know it's hurtful and probably takes up more time in your brain than you want.

2:47 am

grannyrose

Skulking sounds so conspiratorial, doesn't it?

My father grew up speaking Yiddish at home and he never spoke it with me ((((

5:29 am

MollyL

What a shame. It's such a colorful language.

5:29 am

Dianne

Hi all - I need some help. I;m looking for an sc5/12. It is one of the two before the sc4 singing. Any help>

5:30 am

bichon

Yiddish is old low German. Outside of its colorful words and expressions, it's not that interesting. When my German husband's aunt first heard it, she thought it "funny"

5:30 am

bichon

sc + small black bug

5:31 am

kje

sc + picnic pest

5:31 am

oh my, a big grid on a day with little time

6:10 am

rubyfoo

today is a "cooking day"

6:10 am

rubyfoo

paeilla and gazpacho for DIL

6:13 am

BabbleRabble

G'day, Ruby.

6:13 am

rubyfoo

hello BR

6:14 am

bichon

Hi ruby, BR

6:14 am

BabbleRabble

Hello, bichon

6:14 am

rubyfoo

6:14 am

rubyfoo

is today your "stinky dog day"

6:14 am

rubyfoo

but nothing can be worse than a wet chow chow

6:15 am

bichon

wet Bichons smell pretty

6:15 am

rubyfoo

like flowers lol

6:19 am

BabbleRabble

phantom: fey

6:20 am

bichon

Of course, when it rains, they refuse to poop [there gets to be a point]

6:20 am

rubyfoo

my chows all smell different. Rufus smelled like peaches, wet or dry

6:20 am

rubyfoo

Max had sweet breath

6:20 am

rubyfoo

Ruby is stinky, wet or dry, but has the best coat imaginable

6:21 am

bichon

I've never had a Bichon with sweet breath

6:21 am

rubyfoo

and Rufie has a really strong "male" smell (at least that's what the vet said. She said that he'll always smell like that

6:21 am

rubyfoo

all the dogs have had pleasant breath and very white teeth

6:22 am

bichon

are your dogs neutered ruby?

6:22 am

bichon

Bichons tend to have rotten teeth. Chewing on a stick is foreign to them

6:23 am

rubyfoo

we haven't neureter the previous two males and are loathe to do it to Rufie as he is such a magnificent specimen.

6:23 am

rubyfoo

Ruby was spayed because DH couldn't deal with "het"

6:23 am

rubyfoo

PLEASE!

6:23 am

rubyfoo

heat*

6:24 am

bichon

I thought you only had males

6:24 am

rubyfoo

no, we alternate. Two dogs at a time, one male and one female

6:24 am

bichon

I don't think neutering is as prevalent outside North America

6:25 am

rubyfoo

not necessary here as there are so few people in our village and our dogs are either in our garden or on leashes

6:25 am

rubyfoo

and neither Rufus nor Max ever noticed girls

6:25 am

rubyfoo

"gay chow chows"

6:25 am

bichon

The dog license fee is higher for unaltered dogs.

6:25 am

rubyfoo

we don't pay a fee here

6:26 am

bichon

One of my Bichons, Biscuit used to hump boys

6:26 am

rubyfoo

Rufie has tried to mount Ruby and she says "Are you crazy?"

6:27 am

rubyfoo

(she's rather spinsterish)

6:27 am

bichon

Biscuit, despite having been neutered, still would show signs of not, if you know what I mean

6:28 am

rubyfoo

one time, dear sweet dopey Max, showed his pipi which was quite red compared to his blackness, but I never saw it again

6:29 am

rubyfoo

Rufie, on the other hand, sports his "vcouilles" proudly and they are black and large and very obvious

6:29 am

bichon

I was very embarrassed as the dog next door was a puppy. and, it didn't go away. Had to call the Vet for instruction on what to do.

6:30 am

rubyfoo

I deal with so much stuff that the dogs had better work it out themselves

6:30 am

rubyfoo

Rufie is so cute and funny that I wouldn't ever tell him "no", I leave it to Ruby to growl and discipline him

6:32 am

rubyfoo

but I can imagine how embarrassing that could be....

6:32 am

bichon

I need a rest. Talk to you later

6:32 am

rubyfoo

have a good rest, sweetie

rubyfoo

6:48 am

MollyL

I will Ruby. Hopefully, she's just busy.

6:48 am

rubyfoo

And last night I spoke with soodle and we talked (fondly) about you, Molly!!!!

6:48 am

rubyfoo

and Bobby has a letter on the way....

6:49 am

MollyL

It's so nice to hear that people still send letters.

6:51 am

rubyfoo

my sister (in NY) writes to me and sends clippings, some of which I forward to Bobby and others

6:51 am

rubyfoo

there's nothing like getting "real" mail (not that I mind e-mails.....)

6:52 am

MollyL

Letters are a part of how we have kept track of history. I doubt it will be the same with emails. Especially since emails are usually full of deplorable spelling.

6:52 am

rubyfoo

hopefully, not the ones I send (or receive)

6:52 am

MollyL

There is something very personal about getting something in someone's handwriting.

6:53 am

rubyfoo

very true

6:54 am

MollyL

If you have ever seen the Civil War movie, "Glory" that story was based on letters from Colonel Robert Gould Shaw to his mother.

6:54 am

rubyfoo

my parents and, of course, my grandparents, are long gone but I saved all of their letters

6:55 am

rubyfoo

it is my history and I hang onto it

6:55 am

7:26 am

BabbleRabble

Perhaps the best cure for the fear of death is to reflect that life has a beginning as well as an end. There was a time when you were not: that gives us no concern. Why then should it trouble us that a time will come when we shall cease to be? To die is only to be as we were before we were born. -William Hazlitt

7:26 am

carleekat

you never read the blog about the chicken?

7:27 am

MollyL

11:00 am

bichon

We were in Hong Kong once and there was Essence of Toad on the menu

11:00 am

rururocks

you are right now.. until someone joins you..lol

11:00 am

MollyL

Haz, you are in a class of your own. : )

11:00 am

Haz1558

I know, ruru, I have very happy memories of those times.

11:00 am

rururocks

essence of Toad would taste like Newt Gingrich I'd guess

11:01 am

smores

okay - thx guys, now I'm hungery

11:01 am

rururocks

ah.. a new category .. strategic chatters

11:01 am

Haz1558

I think the chat log is more serious now. We used to go off on flights of fancy. It probably annoyed lots of people but I enjoyed it.

11:02 am

MollyL

Very little chat in the morning these days. Lots of AM players just lurk now. Sad.

11:02 am

Haz1558

Yes, the strategic chatter chooses his/her moments.

11:02 am

rururocks

I know.. I get some started and then someone shuts it down..

Haz1558

I used to love picturing Vicuna's children abseiling down to clean the windows and the men in white coats hovering outside FM's door.

11:03 am

MollyL

I don't get "serious chat". Aren't we all here to have fun?

11:05 am

Haz1558

I think lots of people are here for different reasons, as explained by ruru. Some like to talk about quite personal things - that's never been something I would do, but lots of people feel that it's helpful. Chacun a son gout as they would say in many ca6 in Switzerland.

11:07 am

MollyL

I guess I can hang with to each his own, until it comes to making bitter comments about people having fun. Then I am lost.

11:07 am

Haz1558

Now waiting for ruru to come back with some remark about people with sore toes.

11:09 am

smores

i say talk about whatever you want - just don't be too vulgar - and most importantly - be kind

11:09 am

rururocks

I don't mind talking sometimes about personal things..some times is lends validity to the conversation

11:09 am

rururocks

<---pushes the vulgar limits sometimes..

11:10 am

smores

teehee- it's ok ru - you never forget the be knid part

11:10 am

2:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

2:15 pm

rururocks

hego

You're very fortunate too Ruru

2:18 pm

sammysmom

same thing as those who gottem i guess hego.. not much

2:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

in this case i am on the side of the latter

2:19 pm

hego

I envy all who are married a long time.

2:19 pm

Glantarell

I would like to aks a question, as a non US person.

2:19 pm

MollyL

And thank you Ru, for posting that it's your anniversary without adding any Hallmark schmarmy stuff.

2:19 pm

cybernan

anyone want clues before I leave?

2:19 pm

Glantarell

Could somebody explain why calling soembody a princess is a slur?

2:20 pm

MollyL

Go for it Glant.

2:20 pm

hego

groan.....

2:20 pm

cybernan

in this case it means someone who is a spoiled brat

2:20 pm

MollyL

It's not a slur. All Jewish American Princess indicates is spoiled.

2:20 pm

rururocks

that's what mrs ru calls herself.. beats me

2:20 pm

Glantarell

Thank you for the explanation Molly.

2:21 pm

flosey

2:21 pm

hego

I am the mom of 2 of them and they enjoy their princess state immensly.

2:22 pm

cybernan

2:22 pm

hego

and remind me of it all the time.

2:22 pm

Glantarell

I think of princess as a positive word, which is why I was confused.

2:22 pm

mab

i guess there is a difference if one is within the tribe.

2:22 pm

rururocks

tell that to hollywood Mab.. I won't ever say it again though I respect that it bothers people

2:23 pm

crosshair

sigh..ruru,leave you alone for 10 minutes.here,come on over and proof my first draft..it is safer:)

2:23 pm

cybernan

the condition is not confined to that particualr tribe, believe me!

2:23 pm

Glantarell

There is a less obvious Jewish community here in the Uk, and much of the nuances escapes me

2:23 pm

MollyL

Ru, you are going to be down to puppies and kitties by the end of the weekend.

2:24 pm

hego

right Moll.

2:24 pm

crosshair

2:25 pm

crosshair

51 years..wow congrats flosey

2:25 pm

hego

You're very fortunate to have each other so long Flo.

2:25 pm

flosey

2:25 pm

flosey

yes hego, I agree with you there

2:26 pm

hego

a great blessing.

2:26 pm

crosshair

our 19th is this monday..lol,sounds puny after that:)

2:26 pm

mab

as a Jew I can only tell you that being singled out and called a name is offensive. you wouldn't like it if you were part of a much maligned minority

2:26 pm

Glantarell

I never made it beyond 14 :-(

2:26 pm

flosey

but from what you've said in the past crossy, still going strong

2:26 pm

hego

Try being Italian

2:26 pm

Boobear

Clue for br8

2:26 pm

crosshair

it is indeed flosey

2:27 pm

hego

I lost my husband after 23 years Glant.

2:27 pm

crosshair

part of a tree+ 2 vowels

2:27 pm

mab

then you know what I mean hego

2:27 pm

Glantarell

br8 - like a tree limb with 2 vowels on the end

2:27 pm

Deeha

I am a member of a much maligned minority and so I believe is Galnterell - we are Welsh

2:27 pm

hego

I've learned to ignore it all mab.

2:27 pm

Boobear

Ty

2:28 pm

hego

good point Dee.

2:28 pm

Glantarell

And everybody knows that Welsh people speak Welsh whenever an English person enters the room, just to be offensive :-)

2:28 pm

flosey

hubby is of Welsh stock and is very proud of it Deeha

2:29 pm

hego

I am in awe that anyone can speak Welsh. lol

2:29 pm

crosshair

i am of welsh stock as well

2:29 pm

Deeha

I wish I could speak Welsh - I'm not that Welsh - I dont go the whole hog!!!!

2:29 pm

crosshair

cannot speak a word of it however

2:29 pm

MollyL

Jewish, Italian, Welsh, Puerto Rican...all groups get their slams. It is an unfortunate way of life. I'm with Hego. Ignoring it is best. And to clarify, I don't think Ru was being a slammer when he made his comment.

2:29 pm

hego

Glant gives lessons

2:29 pm

Glantarell

I can speak enogh to hold conversations but would not describe myself as fluent

2:30 pm

hego

Right Molly

2:30 pm

mab

thousands of years of pogroms and exclusion and hatred are a bit wearing.

2:31 pm

hego

You don't look that old mab.

2:31 pm

crosshair

lol

2:31 pm

hego

sorry, couldn't resist.

2:31 pm

MollyL

I think it's better to be proud of your heritage than to take umbrage at those who disparage it.

2:31 pm

Glantarell

I was just thinking the same, hego :-)

2:32 pm

Glantarell

I think the Jewish people are incredibly resilient and should be proud of that

2:32 pm

mab

some of my best friends...

2:32 pm

Deeha

I knoe Mab... are Welsh!!

2:33 pm

MollyL

I don't think that is what Glant meant. I took her comment as a compliment.

2:33 pm

crosshair

i have an italian friend,but he is 3rd generation living here,but he loves it all so and is so patriotic,that it often brings others to respect their own home countries just a tad more just by being around him.it is nice

2:33 pm

hego

My deceased husband was Jewish, so I've spent many years as a member of a Jewish family.

2:33 pm

mab

those who died in the shoa were likely proud Jews (six million, can you conceive of it)

2:34 pm

Deeha

Even my husband called me a nanny goat!! And a Welsh friend of mine found a blow uip sheep wearing a suspender belt on his doorstep one Christmas!!!

2:34 pm

hego

They have a great sense of humor about who they are and that's hoe they get by.

2:34 pm

Glantarell

Definitely meant as a compliment.

2:34 pm

Glantarell

Now don;t start with the sheep jokes...

2:34 pm

MollyL

And actually, some of my best friends ARE Jewish and Hego, it's great fun to be included in their family traditions.

2:34 pm

crosshair

a sheep and a scotsman walk into a bar....

2:34 pm

hego

Ah, yes, the sheep.

2:35 pm

2:37 pm

hego

2:37 pm

stidgmere

Lamb is a good with rosemary (which I grow just for that purpose.)

2:37 pm

crosshair

hego.was born there.do not care for it.sorry:(

2:37 pm

Glantarell

Funny story about the Welsh & sheep. There are more sheep in Wales than people. The European Union started goveng farmers subsidies and then changed the system to pay per head of sheep. Some naughty farmers awere claoming for more sheep than they had. The authorities send planes up to take photos to count the sheep. Farmers made fake shee and ut them in the fields....

2:37 pm

Deeha

If you havent had a good lamb stew you havent lived!!

2:37 pm

flosey

it's terribly expensive here though, oddly enough

2:38 pm

hego

gmere, my mom made it with rosemary also

2:38 pm

crosshair

it is crazy expensive here

2:38 pm

flosey

oh Glant, that is funny - fake sheep

2:38 pm

Glantarell

Lamb is trribly expensive here too, despite it being the most commonly farmed animal

2:38 pm

MollyL

I like rosemary on new potatoes.

2:39 pm

flosey

that sounds interesting Molly, have always used mint here

2:39 pm

Deeha

I like a little rosemary on salmon just poached in foil in the oven

2:39 pm

Glantarell

I love lamb, but rarely eat it, just can't being myself to pay for lamb chops! Rosemary is good, redcurrant jelly is good, mint sauce is good too.

2:39 pm

crosshair

also used to use mint

2:39 pm

Yvo

bachia

2:39 pm

flosey

hello Yvo

2:40 pm

Deeha

Can we change the subject I am on a diet and this is making me hungry!!

2:40 pm

Yvo

sorry wrong box not a word anyway

2:40 pm

hego

we use garlic and RM

2:40 pm

stidgmere

I was able to make redcurrant jelly this season. Lamb is definitely for festive occasions.

2:40 pm

stidgmere

Changing subject.

2:40 pm

MollyL

I put dill on salmon.

2:40 pm

crosshair

lol glant deeha.here a good cut of lamb is roughly twice the cost of a top cut of beef

2:40 pm

Glantarell

So, what shall we talk about now?

2:40 pm

hego

gmere, Billy says Hi

2:41 pm

MollyL

<---Would rather go vegetarian than eat lamb

2:41 pm

Glantarell

why Molly?

2:41 pm

crosshair

lol glant.we can dive right into politic and religion

2:41 pm

MollyL

I can't stand the smell of it.

2:42 pm

Glantarell

Ahh. If you make Cawl - a very traditional Welh dish, you hardly smell it at all...

2:42 pm

Deeha

Think we have done religion Crossy!!

2:42 pm

flosey

now there's a safe topic crossy......not

2:42 pm

hego

it tastes better than it smells

2:42 pm

MollyL

I'm the same way about venison.

2:42 pm

stidgmere

Tell Billy hi back. Our little orchestra played a concert on the boardwalk (played the piece, too) and it was so Americana!! I looked up Billy's band. Quite famous.

2:42 pm

Glantarell

So we could try money or sex?

2:42 pm

crosshair

we can talk about nexts years looming bacon shortage

2:43 pm

hego

sounds lovely gmere

2:43 pm

Glantarell

have you bought all the supplies corssy?

2:43 pm

crosshair

sex is always a good fallback topic

2:43 pm

MollyL

The bacon shortage reports are a hoax.

2:43 pm

crosshair

i have indeed glant.put my farmer friend to work

2:43 pm

Glantarell

Seriously, if any of you like/use olive oil, buy it now. there really is a looming olive oil shortage - the spanish crop has failed

2:43 pm

Deeha

THought no one would ever bring that up!!

2:44 pm

hego

someone said you started the rumor Crossy

2:44 pm

stidgmere

Money is pretty inflamatory. Sex is probably a good choice if weather has been covered. Shirtsleeve day here in the NW.

2:44 pm

Glantarell

They are sayin g they think it may double in price over the next few months, and it's not cheap already

2:44 pm

MollyL

What kind of shelf life does olive oil have? I always use it up pretty quickly.

2:44 pm

Glantarell

If you keep it in a cool dark place, years and years

2:44 pm

hego

GACK!!!!!! No olive oil!

2:44 pm

crosshair

bacon shortage!! olive oil!!..arrgh! run!! sky is falling!

2:45 pm

stidgmere

Hadn't heard about olive oil. We use it quite regularly. It smells so lovely.

2:46 pm

stidgmere

Already in the 40's? That is coool.

2:46 pm

Glantarell

The Spanish grow between a third and half of the olives used to make oil

2:46 pm

MollyL

*Hands Glant a sweater*

2:46 pm

2:48 pm

hego

2:48 pm

MollyL

That must be pretty to see, Hego.

2:48 pm

stidgmere

Just say it is cold, or cool, or warm . . . We'll get it.

2:49 pm

Glantarell

2:49 pm

hego

It sounds to me like he hasn't found his bottom yet.. and that's the first step to recovery.

That is true, Ru. And it's very difficult for parents to do the tough love thing. That parent/child bond is very strong. Especially in Ivesy's case.

it's a difficult tightrope to walk....for parents

I don't recommend tough love to parents of addicts and alcoholics. I know someone who did that with her son, and he commit suicide two weeks later. She will never be the same again.

6:25 pm

rururocks

yes.. those were my thoughts too Molly. I have seen it too many times going the wrong direction with tough love..depends on the level of addiction.. it's a tough call either way

That is a terrific story Crossy. No wonder your boy is so important to you!

6:53 pm

firefly779

Another good decision crossy - honesty, and integrity, as well as being completely clean

6:53 pm

crosshair

you must break the time down when quitting any addiction,seconds turn into minutes,minutes into hours and hours into days,weeks, months and years and you are clean

6:55 pm

crosshair

but each case is unique and i should not "hold forth" about it all

6:55 pm

crosshair

crossy gets down from the soapbox...

6:56 pm

Bugsaw

it is only by sharing our stories that we give each other hope crossy. Thanks for sharing yours.

6:57 pm

Bugsaw

if you could do it, maybe our loved ones will do it too

6:57 pm

crosshair

you are quite welcome bugsaw

6:57 pm

crosshair

many consider it all 'DRAMA" so i often withhold

6:58 pm

firefly779

Doesn't sound like drama to me, sounds like life to me.

6:59 pm

crosshair

i have cancer stories,addiction stories,escaping death stories..i should get me a ghost writer lol ,one without fat fingers like mine

6:59 pm

Bugsaw

there are all kinds of opinions reflected here. I try to ignore the ones that don't fit with mine

7:00 pm

firefly779

I think sharing stories is good, when they teach a lesson. When stories are just complaining, and nothing more, that's not productive.

7:01 pm

crosshair

agreed

7:01 pm

firefly779

Stories told in hopes of support are fine too. We all need support some time or another!

7:02 pm

crosshair

wow! that is pet love! ashow about a woman adopting some pets from overseas from war areas.the cats only know chinese,so she is learning the language so the cats understand her

7:02 pm

Jillyjill

Back again, hello crossy, firefly and bugsaw

7:02 pm

crosshair

howdy jilly

7:02 pm

firefly779

oh wow, seriously? chinese for cats...

7:02 pm

crosshair

yup she is taking the full language course

7:03 pm

Bugsaw

I agree to a point. Sometimes people complain here because they need support or to test the waters -- is this problem really something to address or not. Not every problem is solved. I get tired of hearing "yes but...." when people are being offered support tho. It tells me they want the problem more than they want support.

7:04 pm

firefly779

Hi Jillyjill

7:04 pm

crosshair

yes,some wallow in the misery of it all and the attention

7:05 pm

nrkii

Not Drama, Crossy. Drama is "woe is me, woe is me" or useless bickering. Your story is just sharing, and I appreciate it.

7:05 pm

7:07 pm

firefly779

i dislike complainers that are only seeking attention - have to share the bus stop with a mom like that...really? She knows MY story too - you'd think she'd be quiet about her petty problems...LOL

7:07 pm

BabbleRabble

Empathy is a key. Even those who are perceived as attention seekers may have something going on that is not apparent. Each day is a new opportunity.

7:09 pm

Bugsaw

I agree BR. That is why I try not to ignore opinions that don't fit with mine because we all have a right to our opinions.

7:12 pm

BabbleRabble

We each have our own genes .... we each have a different environment growing up .... we each have our own personalities ... we each have our own way of perceiving the world and deciding our own truths.

I got some bacon once, via a pig purchased at the local county fair, and whatever the butcher did to it, he ruined it. The ham too. Tasted awful. Or maybe I'm just so used to store bought, with added whatevers, that the good stuff doesn't taste right...

7:19 pm

what do you mean you "monkeyed it" ?

9:26 pm

Jillyjill

It's a term we use when a word is found by working different combos...monkeying it..

9:26 pm

wht

It refers to the idea that if you put a million monkeys in front of typewriters, eventually they will type shakespeare.

9:26 pm

Jillyjill

wht has a better definition...

I think the rejects from the monkeys forms the basis of Enable.

hi, all..how's the grid going? I finished very early this morning. I am having such fun working on the rough draft of my book. I almost deleted it at 45 pages...so frustrated that it just did not seem to be coming together. Now, it's 172 pages, and going very well. So glad I persevered! I hope to have around 300 pages in final form when all is done.
