I wouldn't mind shopping, but he insists on going to the hypermarche which is way too big and much too cold
3:06 am
rubyfoo

I just make the lists
3:07 am
rubyfoo

and cook, so I thik it's a fair trade-off
3:07 am
Lizlin

Lol - same with ours but that's air con and contrast to outside
3:07 am

Very fair
3:07 am

they keep the whole store the same temp as the coolers; it's awful

4:22 am
BabbleRabble

A scientific solution is not one I often resort to.
4:22 am

no, especially not the last one
4:25 am
sprite

I think this grid qualifies as a puny one as well, wouldn't you agree?
4:25 am
BabbleRabble

Not much substance
4:26 am
sprite

Never knew puny could be this enjoyable
4:27 am
BabbleRabble

the re 7/40 is one I might try to use in conversation.
4:28 am
BabbleRabble

this has gone on long enough .... go to your doctor and get some re 7/40
4:28 am
sprite

hmmmzzz... nope, don't have it yet. I have the 9 (smug) but not yet re7. As usual, the re- words are slow in coming. The valid ones, that is.

bananas for your monkeys
4:32 am

ah... obsolete of course.
My monkeys thank you (peeling the bananas upside down and stuffing their mouths)
4:33 am
BabbleRabble

I can see me asking my doc and asking are you able to provide some re 7/40
4:34 am
sprite

:D And he would answer: "Of courso, bro!"
4:34 am
BabbleRabble

Hahahah
4:43 am

I always want to keep all words in active use. Such a waste, obsolete words.

BabbleRabble

Nicely done, ivesy. Hope your day is going well.
4:51 am
sprite

BabbleRabble: it is a bit dark for my taste, but I can certainly relate to the ambiguity. I also agree that animals don't have that problem... all I need to do is watch Terra to see the proof of that.
4:51 am
sprite

good job, ivesy :)
4:53 am
BabbleRabble

Who among us has been told our job is to build death?
4:53 am
sprite

I don't agree that we are only an object to eachother, though. I also exist when I am all alone. And I experience a difference between interacting with a real object, or with a person.
4:53 am

hm, not me. But memento mori, yes, that I have been taught.
4:54 am

I know my ponderings solve nothing yet I will never understand why beings were place on a revolving sphere without any obvious purpose thant the amusement of the thing that put us here.

I hope all will check out fine, ivesy. Have a good day too.

Hi and bye ivesy ;
4:58 am

yeah... in kabballah they say that the purpose of creation is for god to learn to know him/her/itself.
4:59 am
BabbleRabble

I imagine that free will has no role?
5:02 am
sprite

I think it does. Seeing how things play out would be a learning experience. Of course, in kabballah everything in creation is a facet or aspect of god. So how it all interacts is the interesting point. Would be useless without free will.
5:04 am
BabbleRabble

I find it incredible a god needs us lowlies to learn to know him/her/itself.
5:06 am
BabbleRabble

What could we possibly teach a god?
5:08 am
smores

Being created for God’s pleasure does not mean just made to entertain God or provide Him with amusement. God is a creative Being, and it gives Him pleasure to create. God is a personal Being, and it gives Him pleasure to have a genuine relationship with us.
5:10 am
sprite

sometimes I feel that is true, smores. And sometimes I just cannot understand God, especially when it comes to all the suffering I see.
5:11 am
smores

As His creation we also have pleasure, and the pleasure of knowing Him
5:12 am
smores

Agreed sprite, very difficult to understand all the suffering
5:12 am
sprite

what could we teach a god? They say we are created in his/her image. So I would imagine it is something like we do, learning about all our inner aspects and how to balance them and make us creative and whole.
5:14 am
BabbleRabble

Does the god of kabballah have the omnis:

Omnibenevolence (God is all-loving)
Omnipresence (God is present everywhere in space and time)
Omniscience (God is all-knowing, past, present, and future)
Omnipotence (God is all-powerful)

5:19 am
BabbleRabble

On more than one occasion I have gone into a church during the gloaming and yelled at god ... they tell I am evil and surely will go to hell? Yet, what have I done, god, but try to understand. What have I done?
5:19 am
sprite

not sure. I am not at all an expert. Looks like it, though, I think it does subscribe to those ideas. But if I am not mistaken, in the kabballah they also say that God cannot be known, and therefore not be defined.
5:20 am
smores

Isn't Kabballh a Judaism school of thought, if so than I would say yes to the omnis
5:21 am
BabbleRabble

If god cannot be defined than have so many forests been destroyed for the paper used to explain the unexplainable?
5:22 am
sprite

whatever people say, it is not what god says. Of that I am certain. People judge and condemn. If there is a god, and I feel there is something that could be called that... it is about love. And not about judgments.
5:22 am
sprite

yes, it is, smores.
5:23 am
sprite

because people need to define, I think, BabbleRabble. People want to turn what cannot be defined into certainties, because they are scared of uncertainties.
5:23 am
BabbleRabble

Well, the solution is to have faith and toss the dogma
5:25 am
BabbleRabble

I do not believe in free will. I cannot conceive of a situation where I can god what you want you will not get.
5:25 am
BabbleRabble

i can tell god
5:26 am
smores

I think the most basic and important words in all that paper is " God is love.." If we always remember that and try to imitate that we will be o
5:26 am
smores

*ok
5:27 am
BabbleRabble

I was brought up being told: "Thy will be done." Not mine, god's
5:27 am
smores

<---definately believes in free will
5:29 am
smores

BRB
5:29 am
BabbleRabble

So, ask and you shall receive? You do not receive because god's will shall be done. We are told we asked for the wrong thing. Why even ask when god's will shall be done
5:31 am
BabbleRabble

I told a therapist god created the world as its outdoor toilet .... I still believe that
5:31 am
sprite

very true, BabbleRabble. Without free will, the whole purpose of creation is lost to me.
5:32 am
sprite

smores, I agree. If love isn't the core and essence of God, I don't want anything to do with him/her/it.
5:35 am
BabbleRabble

sin has an element of intent ... centuries after the original sin, people are born with its taint even though they could not have the intent to commit the sin. We are supposed to be joyous god's son saved us ... but why would be joyous about being saving from a sin we had no part of? Especially since god knew what was going to happen? How ludicrous!
5:36 am
sprite

I SO do not believe in the original sin. That whole story is so darn judgemental, it smells of humans to me, and not god.
5:37 am

Jesus is definately my saviour

I enjoyed the talk, BabbleRabble. I have more doubts and questions than certainties and answers, that is for sure. It is nice to exchange some of them :)
5:41 am
smores

lol..BR 5:29 just it just depends on what you're asking
5:41 am
sprite

isn't that in Brave New World... the neon ad for Shell with the letter missing, saying "hell is here" ?
5:42 am
smores

* guess
5:42 am
sprite

I can't get into the saviour idea. My heart tells me Jesus was a remarkable person with a deep understanding of love. An example for me. But human. If he had not been human, he could never be an example, because I cannot strive to be divine.
5:43 am
BabbleRabble

Having early on been told I shall go to hell, I spent many hours thinking about how long eternity is and how I was going to get out of this mess.
5:45 am
sprite

you were really dealt a lousy deal there, weren't you? Such a dark way to bring up a child. I am pretty sure hell doesn't want you, BabbleRabble. If I only think of all the times you reached out and helped me or somebody else here, it already shows you to be much too loving and caring to be eligible for hell.

If that is what you truely believe great, just from our previous conversations I'm fairly certain you do believe in a divine being...just unfortunately were given a rather grim view of Him as a child.

The split-fingered Vulcan salute from Star Trek is derived from an Orthodox Jewish ritual called the Blessing Hands, which is used to anoint congregations on holy days. Leonard Nimoy, whose grandfather was Orthodox, remembered the hand gesture from his childhood visits to the synagogue and borrowed it for his role as Mr. Spock.

You're going to put panties on your headphones???
7:53 am
hurshy

yeah i have headphones that you hook up with the TV and the person who is watching puts them on to listen - because if you're on a treadmill you would have to put the volume up sooo loud to be able to hear over it, and then you disturb people, so it's better to have it in headphones
7:53 am

absolutely br, and I have done so, in the past, but things have changed a fair amount, and it's not so easy to relocate her now

my Mom is 87 and she believes I am the only that understands her
8:00 am

hi Trif. What kind of dog?
8:00 am
car.eeyore

No...listen....we are going to get a dog...not a puppy...perhaps a displaced one from the hurricane. Mom is going to be devastated when Lucy passes and we feel if we incorporate another dog into the house in the new year, it may lessen that shock and pain down the road.
8:00 am
BabbleRabble

only one
8:01 am

a displaced or otherwise rescued dog will very much appreciate that

8:01 am

you can do whatever you feel is right, but think long and hard on this one - mom does not do well with change, and you already have WAY too much on your plate. She may surprise you. We all thought jean would be lost with out Bobbie, but in a week she had forgotten him entirely

make sure you have a foster option first - lucy does NOT do well with other dogs, and the stress of the two dogs not getting along will not help mom at all

I would say it is mandatory given the diagnosis. Be an advocate for Frank. Know that the treatment plan chosen is truly the correct one based on the correct diagnosis and staging.

tumor pathology calls it mucinous but the pathology report from the colonoscopy (done at Quest) says signet ring cells, and has pictures of them
10:22 am

You have many outstanding resources on Chicago, so start making appts and getting pathology slides, imaging CDs and medical records to other docs.

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

Wow, I only brine mine for 24 hours. You must do 48.
2:29 pm

my father ate like a bird after his lung cancer op and ensures did a good job of filling the gaps
2:29 pm
crosshair

f.i.l*
2:29 pm
mael

yeah, we're trying 48 this year. We got an heirloom turkey and they're supposedly leaner, and therefore benefit from more brining
2:31 pm
crosshair

ladies,i have never brined a turkey before(actually never heard of it before this) what are the benifits and what is the procedure?
2:31 pm
mael

catch you guys later :)
2:31 pm
MollyL

With only one refrigerator, I have a hard enough time juggling space for 24 hours. Maybe when I have two, I will try 48 hours.
2:32 pm
mael

it's moister, you plop the bird in salt+sugar+spices dissolved in water, and leave it to soak in the fridge 24/72 hours
2:32 pm
mael

we have our old fridge in the basement, that's where the turkey and the extra beer lives :)
2:32 pm
MollyL

Well, you get a 5 gallon bucket and you fill it up with water and kosher salt and a mixture of seasonings, garlic, celery, onion, syurp, etc and soak it.

3:12 pm
TraderKate

i never heard of it until last year... maybe from the popularity of deep frying them instead of roasting... my mother used to soak in a bit of plain salt water for a couple hours, but said it was to get any extra bllood out of the bird
3:13 pm
hego

she was brining without knowing it!
3:14 pm
TraderKate

no spices, sugar etc though.. and only for a little while
3:14 pm
TraderKate

she wasn't a great cook
3:14 pm

a couple of hours might make a difference.

hego, and great to see you too, are you having a crowd on TG Day?

I don't buy Butterball turkeys. Turkey is a dry meat, so the brining really helps make it more moist and juicy.

Hard to believe, since most of it is surrounded by water, but New York was not built to deal with the storm surge it got.
3:24 pm
Anniebrook

No, foolish me. I stayed, no heat, water, electricity/ My daughter came to get us and we walked down 24 floors in the dark with flashlights.
3:25 pm
hego

Oh, my.
3:25 pm
Anniebrook

It was the storm surge that did us in. When I looked out of my window the ocean was below us.
3:25 pm

6:42 pm

ty. Just read the update Sue - I guess it will take a long time.
6:42 pm
Jillyjill

*fingers crossed* I agree with your thought that there is a psychological component to eating..
6:43 pm
uusue2

also, since he had an almost complete blockage for several months, (I am trying to put this gently) there is backed-up material that needs to get out, and that is starting (big time).

7:48 pm

That's great Sue. I thought you might have trouble getting in home care with no insurance.
7:49 pm
uusue2

his insurance will cover it! Yay!
7:49 pm
uusue2

he has major medical, which we thought only covered hospitalization, but since he has cancer it will now cover all costs associated with the cancer, whether they are inpatient or not.

Sure it counts. Glad you like your new cut.
8:15 pm

Nice, bugs! :-)
8:16 pm
Bugsaw

Hi Sue. I feel so badly that Frank has so many emotions wrapped up in the getting well process. It must be very hard on you.
8:17 pm
uusue2

thanks, bugs. He's mostly in a pretty good place; justneeds to eat
8:20 pm
Bugsaw

doesn't he have favourite bland food that always helps? maybe a lick of two of pumpkin pie filling or pudding
8:24 pm
MollyL

I know someone asked about this earlier but I didn't see the answer. Is he getting Ensure?
8:25 pm
Bugsaw

Molly I think he has been on IV nutrition so he is not feeling the need to eat more than water. Ensure would
8:26 pm
Bugsaw

.... be a good start if he can have it.
8:26 pm
MollyL

Okay. I swear I thought I saw a post that said he was having broth and such things earlier.
8:27 pm
uusue2

he had some broth this morning
8:27 pm
Bugsaw

you could be correct. I only just arrived now. I sure hope so
8:27 pm
uusue2

but they just removed the IV nutrition a couple of hours ago
8:28 pm
uusue2

he is getting Ensure Enlive, which is a high-protein, clear version, the regular Ensure didn't use to agree with him and we don't want to risk a gluten reaction
8:28 pm
Bugsaw

that shud help uusue. he will feel hungrier and thirstier now
8:29 pm
uusue2

presumably with all the IV stuff gone he will get hungry and thirsty but I want to encourage him to eat and drink before it gets urgent
8:30 pm
uusue2

snap, bugs :-)
8:30 pm
Bugsaw

yes but it gets wearing to be a coach all the time. Men don't get sick very well
8:31 pm
uusue2

that is certainly true, bugs!! but I love him anyway :-)
8:33 pm

yes, that doesn't stop even when you feel like yelling

Yes. True Molly. We have a generator so any power outages will be a temporary inconvenience.

I meant Thanks ruru. don't know where the other came from

8:47 pm
stidgmere

We are advocates of the simple life but sometimes we wind up being a little extravagant, hence the generator.
8:48 pm
MollyL

Nothing extravagant about a generator. Not with all the money it can save you in spoiled food.
8:49 pm

All rulers think they are benevolent ruru. Most are known by those they rule as Benevolent Despots

hello... stidgmere, what sort of generator do you have? I am having a hard time deciding
8:50 pm

hey doren
8:50 pm
rururocks

I have a cummings doren
8:50 pm
Dorens

hi stid.... how are you doing out there with the weather?
8:50 pm
stidmama

not bad.
8:50 pm
Dorens

is it whole house ru?
8:51 pm
rururocks

I liked their slogan.. yes the whole house
8:51 pm
stidmama

we have a honda generator, technically a portable, but it runs the well, the furnace and the lights, we have an extra plug at the power box to plug it in, and it's propane, so we have a line from our tank to the generator as well as the one to the house proper.
8:51 pm
Bugsaw

Dorens are you home yet or are you in the line up for house repairs. They never talk about that on the news
8:52 pm
Dorens

don't think i want to spend that much... what is their slogan? i have heard of hooking up an in line generator to the fridge and a few cords (space heaters, tv,s and the like) that might ddo it for me. Don't know how much longer i'm going to be in this house after retirement Yes, i'm in the house bugs. damage wsn't that bad
8:52 pm
stidgmere

We have a Honda gasoline powered generator.
8:52 pm
rururocks

"I would rather be Cummings than Goings"
8:53 pm
Dorens

i want to get it hooked into the natural gas line. i hate dealing with gasoline (i'm a jersey girl. we can't pump our own)
8:53 pm
stidmama

you can get a generator like ours now for about $600, and it has served us well for over ten years.
8:53 pm
Dorens

oh, really? or are you just making that up
8:53 pm
stidgmere

Run like a Deere, ruru.
8:53 pm
stidmama

however, next generator we buy will be the kind that is hard-wired to the house and doesn't need shlepping out with a power cord in nasty weather...
8:54 pm
rururocks

ours is tied to the gas.. that's the way to go
8:54 pm
stidgmere

Wander into a generator store and just take a field trip asking about options, Dorens. Our motto, "It never hurts to look."
8:54 pm
gemini_J13

we have a big one,,, runs off the tractor JD.... but then we soemtimes have cattle to consider
8:54 pm
Dorens

it's times like these that a man comes in handy. i definitely need the hard wire if i live alone. and all the feminists can say whatever they want.
8:55 pm
Dorens

yup -- guess i'll join the hordes. I have been looking on line, but going into a store does make more sense. power mower stores, that sort of thing, i guess
8:55 pm
Bugsaw

I think Mr Bugs has lots of generators but they are all buried out in the shop. When the power goes out he doesn't want to go get them in the dark and cold so I have lots of sweaters and blankets
8:55 pm
stidgmere

Exactly, Dorens. They have all kinds of power stuff in those stores.
8:56 pm
stidmama

rofl... practical Mr bugs...
8:57 pm
Dorens

guess i have my friday planned now. thanks
8:58 pm
stidgmere

yw Dorens.
8:58 pm
stidmama

always glad to help with plans, doren... *wicked mama grin*
8:58 pm
stidmama

oh! ask about generators that do their own self-checks periodically... they need to turn over once a month or so, no matter what.
8:59 pm
rururocks

we have ours serviced
9:00 pm
rururocks

it runs a test run every wednesday
9:00 pm
rururocks

I sure like the security of having it.
9:00 pm
rururocks

especially in the HOT summer
9:01 pm
Dorens

i will. just looked at the local place's ads and the honda's look expensive. i suppose they have some in the store for less. and i do want one to test itself, cause i would surely forget to do that stuff
9:01 pm
stidmama

we take ours in once a year or two for a quick once-over, but mostly Tom can do it, no different from keeping any other small engine going
9:02 pm
Dorens

well, i have no tom. and i need it taken care of. just one more expense. oh well!
9:02 pm
uusue2

my dad's looking into generators too, Doren
9:02 pm

Hello jes. Just visiting and as you say chillin
9:09 pm

pretty well. Bruce made chicken tikki masala for dinner. it was yummy
9:09 pm

Sound very delicious.

ooh, that does sound yummy, jes!
9:12 pm

yum, indeed! the amazing bruce strikes again!
9:20 pm

I'm wondering what he has in store for dessert :)
9:20 pm
stidgmere

Mango sherbet?
9:21 pm
MollyL

No way Jes, not going there. : P
9:21 pm
jesdraggon

heh. I doubt it... though he did make mango ice cream a while back. sadly, it turned out kind of bland.
9:21 pm
uusue2

mango sticky rice?
9:21 pm
jesdraggon

the dark chocolate raspberry ice cream, on the other hand...
9:22 pm
stidgmere

Will the ice cream melt by the time our plane touches down? This is the type of math problem they don't do enough of in school. A plane traveling at 500 mph leaves at 8:00. Does the ice cream remain solid when the travelers arrive?
9:23 pm
jesdraggon

heh. we'll keep it in the freezer for you, stidg, as you forgot to calculate the 90 minute drive from the airport.
9:23 pm
stidgmere

Ah. That's why I am about 90 minutes wrong in my equation.
9:27 pm

Good night all.

Hi there, Min. Would you be so kind as to clue me the last word for this grid: ni5-10.....Thanks

well you can lobby your state legislature to be ready to radify a constitutional amendment that i think is likely to come down the pike. . . and look at my webpage so you can explain why "corporations aren't people" is a good sound bite but not good law
