ah, so there are two en7s, I have to find the other (1st) one.

flosey

hi jilli

12:27 am

jillibus

I hate to be so repetitive, but again I'm half asleep

12:28 am

jillibus

so forgive me if I've negleted to say hi to everyone

12:28 am

can;t even find one en 7, nevermind 2

12:29 am

got the other one. OK, may I give clues for the 7s and 8 of asked?

12:30 am

cybernan

go ahead, melon

12:30 am

VolleymomDee

I have en 7/28; can you please help with the second one

12:30 am

cybernan

have the 8, but missing the en 7's

12:31 am

jillibus

yes please melon

12:31 am

melonheadjujube

The en7s: One might remind you of begging for a Butterfinger, let's say. The other ends in a continental fashion.

12:31 am

ARB

lovely clues, Melon

12:32 am

melonheadjujube

tx, ARB (:

12:32 am

ty melon

12:33 am

rururocks

not getting the continental one

12:33 am

cybernan

the continental clue went right over my foggy head

12:33 am

jillibus

same here

12:33 am

melonheadjujube

ac7 is what the best might charge. if you use sw7 on a bu3 in the grid, you will no doubt sp7, possibly in an artful pa7. OK, that's the rest of the 7s (;

12:34 am

melonheadjujube

one of 7 jilli and nan.

12:34 am

melonheadjujube

and ruru.

12:34 am

melonheadjujube

ruru, I can't believe I stumped you!

12:35 am

melonheadjujube

OK, otolaryngologist from India, does that help???

12:36 am

jillibus

very clever clues, I'm sure, melon, but my brain isn't functioning

12:36 am

cybernan

not getting the ac and continental en -- too tired to think so signing off with 33 to go

12:36 am

melonheadjujube

aw, I just handed it to you. Somebody?

12:37 am

jillibus

I'd settle for nbt, but am missing the top row A and the 4th row A. Please clue (not stats)

12:37 am

hi flo

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

ce 6 x 2

12:46 am

sandyloo

were you in the storm Flo?

12:46 am

flosey

no sandy, we haven't had storm on west coast, that was east coast

12:46 am

sandyloo

aah didn't know which side you were on

12:47 am

sandyloo

They have reported a lot about the storm here

12:47 am

flosey

originally from Ontario, and they did get dumped with a fair bit of snow

12:47 am

flosey

2 sons still in Toronto area

12:48 am

sandyloo

it is over 100 degrees farenheit here today so I would like snow

12:48 am

flosey

oh wow, is it humid too?

12:49 am

sandyloo

no very dry and hot but it is our summer

12:49 am

flosey

ah, that is pretty warm alright

12:50 am

sandyloo

we have moved further south and now have a farm in Margaret river which is cooler than Perth

12:50 am

flosey

sounds lovely

12:51 am

flosey

had a bit of rain today but was inside playing bridge all afternoon

12:51 am

sandyloo

I have just rediscovered my babble expert icon which is great

12:51 am

lynxxx

nice wine country too. Hello all and especially Sandy. Long time no see

12:51 am

flosey

hi lyn

12:51 am

sandyloo

hi lynxx it is great to see all the old faces still here

12:52 am

flosey

what a peaceful sight, sandy

12:52 am

lynxxx

not so much of the old TY!

12:53 am

sandyloo

that is our old little farm flo, I will try and put one up of our new larger farm- and it definitely is great wine country- we even overlook a large vinyard

12:55 am

flosey

we have a couple of vinyards about a mile or so up the road, small time ones on this island

12:55 am

flosey

they make a delicious blackberry port

12:55 am

sandyloo

ooh sounds nice

12:56 am

flosey

blackberries grow wild all over the island

12:56 am

sandyloo

Blackberries are a huge problem here and the local government has a programme in place for spraying them out- I love the fruit but the plant is sooo thorny

12:57 am

flosey

yes, they do get nasty

12:57 am

sandyloo

Our blackberries here on the farm are under good control

12:58 am

flosey

we have a lot on the property - friends come to pick them so they're not really in our way and are kept under control

12:59 am

sandyloo

the thing I dont like about the dead blackberries is that they are still thorny - here they are along our creek line

12:59 am

sandyloo

not in the main paddocks

1:00 am

flosey

have to run down to get clothes out of the dryer

1:01 am

sandyloo

lynxx, how have you been?

1:03 am

lynxxx

OK - have gotten quite involved w. a local group which keeps me more than fully occupied. And you...moved house/farm I gather...with chooks/horses etc? and your daughter is well now?

1:04 am

sandyloo

we did move but we had to get rid of the chooks as for now we have no chookyard but one is coming horses came too and dogs

1:05 am

lynxxx

You decided not to build on the old property, thats what you were planning weren't you?

1:05 am

sandyloo

Thanks for thinking of Nicky- she has had a shoulder fusion now and is not going up to the hospital all the timebut she says she is still in pain but not nearly so much so it is a little better in that area

1:06 am

lynxxx

wow - that has been years now - she must be so over it all - poor kid

1:06 am

sandyloo

What is the local group? I have found here in the real country that the neighbours and the community are fantastic and so helpful and friendly its great

1:07 am

lynxxx

flooding - we are subject to flash flooding where we are. In years to come will be compounded by rising sea levels - at least I will be long gone by then

1:07 am

sandyloo

We had a wedding for Diana (no3 daughter) in England which was fantastic and all the kids came (including Nicky) which was a great opportunity for her to see a bit of the world

1:08 am

lynxxx

How wonderful!

1:08 am

sandyloo

Lyn are flooded at the moment there has been so much of it over east?

1:09 am

sandyloo

are you . I mean

1:09 am

lynxxx

Yes Queensland & NSW - again! No, we haven't flooded for 2 years - but it will happen again

1:10 am

sandyloo

Have you personally been flooded in the past? and if so what damage?

1:11 am

lynxxx

ours is a 100 y.o. storm water drain issue all ending up down here.

1:12 am

lynxxx

00 homes at Extreme Risk

1:12 am

sandyloo

so I take it you are working with local government to right the issue?

1:12 am

sandyloo

so I take it you are working with local government to right the issue?

1:12 am

lynxxx

mmm...have my typing dissappeared.

1:14 am

sandyloo

I got disconnected

1:14 am

lynxxx

7500 homea at extreme risk of flooding. Actually responsibility is with State Government/Water and even Federal as Climate Change will make it worse. $192m for quick fix...lord knows how much for sea level rises

1:15 am

sandyloo

Sounds like something urgently needs to be done - in the big picture 200 million is not so much

1:16 am

sandyloo

flooding is very scary as is fire

1:16 am

lynxxx

We shan't be like Qld and Northern NSW where they are talking about a Retreat policy. Our property values are too high

1:17 am

lynxxx

think I would rather have flood than fire

1:18 am

sandyloo

I agree, fire is all destroying

1:19 am

lynxxx

So we aim to provide immediate advice & products to local residents (bacause authorities ain't!) and to be a thorn in the side of those different levels of government who can actually implement the remedies

1:19 am

sandyloo

I have to go and have a rest, I am very tired- I had to trim the horse's feet this morning (can you believe it) I am learning and it is sooooooo hard

1:20 am

lynxxx

I'm impressed! I've got to go too - cake and coffee at friends. Bye

1:20 am

sandyloo

very worthwhile Lynxx, well done you!! You should have some success with al the attention given to the latest flooding but bye for now!

1:36 am

gapeach

Thanks much, ursh. I don't have the first ra......will hunt for it. Thanks again

1:37 am

gapeach

Found it.....now have the one you clued....thanks

1:39 am

gapeach

I really like the bigger grids with lots of endings....these smaller ones seem to be more difficult....for me, at least.

1:40 am

ursh

I like them about 200 big ones sometimes take too long to finish

1:42 am

gapeach

I like them around 200 also. What kind of weather are you experiencing

1:43 am

ursh

overcast - we had thunderstorm at 7.30am with lots of lightening - which is strange - but then the weather is strange all over the world

1:43 am

gapeach

Indeed.

1:44 am

gapeach

We got a lot of rain last night....about 3 inches.....but we really needed it.

1:44 am

ursh

we are in late summer so can get very hot and humid but so far this year lots of rain which has kept us a bit more comfortable

1:45 am

gapeach

Is it beautiful there?

1:45 am

ursh

very green and lush

1:46 am

gapeach

Oh, my. Have you lived there long?

1:47 am

ursh

grew up inland and moved to coast about 35 years ago - so yes have lived here a long time

1:47 am

ursh

where are you peach?

1:49 am

gapeach

I'm in Augusta, Georgia....our only claim to fame is the annual golf tournament.(The Masters Tournament) It draws people from all over the world.

1:50 am

ursh

oh nice - men in family watch that tournament every year - both golf nuts

1:52 am

gapeach

I live less than a mile from the course. Traffic is horrible during that week. If we have to go anywhere we have to skirt one section of the city.

2:11 am

flosey

hi again, grid was down for a while, Dr.G. working on it

2:11 am

flosey

just back for a few more before heading off to bed

2:12 am

flosey

hi peach and ursh

2:35 am

flosey

looking back, hope I didn't interrupt a lovely conversation there

2:46 am

ursh

no you did'nt flo - i lost my connection

2:48 am

flosey

oh dear, sorry about that

2:49 am

flosey

11 left and must get to bed, be back in the morning

2:50 am

flosey

goodnight ursh, hope you don't lose connection again

2:51 am

ursh

night flo sleep well

2:55 am

rbud

whew, finally here after a long stretch of cleaning up Hubby's face and hands - he took a header out of his mobile chair (hit a big bump) on his way to a friend's house.

2:55 am

rbud

think he's fine, but it was a mess. will need a new pair of glasses.

2:57 am

rbud

told him he needs to quit trying to take shortcuts, and to stick to the flat streets and walkways.

3:03 am

ursh

ooh ouch rbud - sorry

3:05 am

rbud

can't tell him anything, it seems he will insist on doing silly things.

5:36 am

zoozzoom

My parents think i am mental when i tell themi can sit here for hours playing this game, And still not get bored.

5:38 am

sprite

hahahaha! Yeah, it is kind of hard to explain to people who haven't tried or are not into word games.

5:39 am

sprite

5:40 am

zoozzoom

7:40 am

hurshy

there are only two reasons to stay in the states - 1) to be near family 2) if we can't get another country to let us in and let us work.

7:40 am

worzel

our government is implementing a tax where people in housing associations have to pay Â£25 a week for each spare bedroom they have. They are also doing it to disabled families. Nice people!!

7:40 am

crosshair

are you back on the grid yet annie?

7:40 am

sounds great crossy...except the -12 part :)

7:41 am

turn the spare room into an office or library

7:41 am

lbdawger

keeping warm thoughts for you, annie

7:41 am

Anniebrook

crossy, we are hooked into our own power plant with temporary transformers

7:41 am

worzel

The housing associations have to declare to the govt exactly how many bedrooms were installed at the building time. We're not allowed to do that

7:41 am

smores

a spare bedroom tax...really?!

7:41 am

crosshair

ahh

7:41 am

Anniebrook

thanks, dawg..appreciate it

7:42 am

worzel

Although we are allowed to take in a lodger, but we will have to pay Â£20 a week tax for the room even in that instance.

7:42 am

gramma

Do they check as to who sleeps where?

7:42 am

crosshair

i would be building myself a nice single floor open concept then.fix those buggers

7:42 am

worzel

haha if only I had the money - they'd probably tax me for owning a hammer!!!

7:43 am

smores

So when your kids move out your have to pay a tax on the then spare rooms? wow

7:43 am

gramma

Can a husband and wife sleep in seperate rooms w/out a atx?

7:43 am

gramma

or tax*

7:44 am

worzel

private householders dont have to pay but council and housing association persons do. And it doesn't matter if you sleep in separate rooms either. Gits!!

what's the nature of a council/housing association? what is the logic behind taxing them specifically?

7:44 am

lbdawger

nbt, nbs!!

7:45 am

Mom

(Annie)) good morning to you. Are you and Bobby digging the car out today?

7:45 am

Mom

hooray for LBD!

7:45 am

Anniebrook

Mom, yes we are and it doesn't look too bad

7:45 am

worzel

council/housing association is USUALLY for people who cannot afford to buy their own homes. So therefore it obviously makes sense that if you can't afford to buy then you can easily afford to pay Â£25 a week per room on top of your rent.

7:45 am

Mom

I am so glad to hear that, Annie

7:46 am

lbdawger

hoa's are suppose to be the council of "reason" keep the common grounds neat and tidy, keeps the home owners from painting their exterior walls atrocious colors, general up keep.

7:46 am

worzel

Basically, its for people who are on state benefits. Not always, but quite often. And the benefits are meagre enough as it is. Some people say 'go and get a job' but unemployment here is so deep at the moment

7:46 am

lbdawger

(((MOM)))

7:47 am

Mom

(((((LBD)))))

7:47 am

lbdawger

worzel, what country are you in?

7:47 am

worzel

to be fare dawger it's not the hoa's fault - they have to do what the government tells them to do

7:47 am

hurshy

so they don't want you to use it as a means to get more house than you could afford on the market, so they are incentivizing you to get only what you need

7:47 am

gramma

31 left and I'm blank. BBL

7:47 am

worzel

united kingdom - although most of us are not united with our government lol

7:47 am

So this doesn't affect people who own their homes

7:47 am

Mom

bye bye Gramma

7:47 am

lbdawger

take care gramma

7:48 am

crosshair

here,worzel, that is called subsidised housing and if for whatever reason there is one bedroom that becomes available in your unit,you will be moved to a smaller one with the exact rooms needed so the larger ones can be cleared for families with more people

7:48 am

worzel

they aren't though, hurshy - because a couple usually only need one bedroom and there are no one bedroom properties on the housing associations lists so we HAVE to pay - we have no escape route

7:48 am

lbdawger

i can understand trying to live within your means, but to tax you for extra rooms? sheesh. how about paying you to lease them out?

7:48 am

worzel

i agree families need the bigger houses, but my partner and i only need one bedroom and they have no one bedroom properties

7:49 am

hurshy

yeah, i mean, i guess i can see why they do it and also why it's tough on people.

7:49 am

worzel

besides which my partner lived here for 23 years with her mum b4 her mum passed away in November so there are lots of emotions running high too

7:49 am

hurshy

if we were stuck with one bedroom, i'd never be able to sleep though! my husband and i have to have separate rooms.

7:49 am

crosshair

well,if they have no one room units,you should definatly not be penalized

7:50 am

worzel

hurshy the problem is that our goverment don't do it for incentiveness they do it because they always have taxed the poor and give major tax relief to the rich

7:50 am

lbdawger

oh, subsidized housing...and you're penalized for the govt not enough properly sized rooms. argh!

7:50 am

hurshy

ah well we have that problem in spades

7:50 am

hurshy

maybe canada really is the only way to go.

I choose my layers knowing I will be sweating profusely within 10-15 minutes of skiing or snowshoeing. So, I start out chilly but then am hot.

9:19 am

crosshair

no,aloy,i do not.i snow shoe in winter and hike in summer

9:20 am

Aloyisius

9:21 am

Aloyisius

hi Judi

9:22 am

Scrabbler

I use hand warmers on the below 25F days.

9:22 am

crosshair

9:22 am

Aloyisius

how nice you live near groomed trails, Scrabbler

9:23 am

crosshair

we have the bruce trail that runs right through our area,so i pick a chunk of that and away i go.no grooming

9:23 am

Scrabbler

I love living next to this park. I do everything there except paddle. (No paddling allowed on the 3 ponds.) I ski, snowshoe, mountain bike and hike. It is my sanctuary!

9:24 am

crosshair

breaking a trail is nasty

9:24 am

Scrabbler

I use backcountry skis so do not need groomed trails, but it is nice.

9:24 am

Aloyisius

hubby went first, lol

9:24 am

Aloyisius

but the dog would mess up tracks

9:25 am

Scrabbler

I might do the races just for fun and chances to win door prizes...and maybe meet a nice guy?

9:25 am

Aloyisius

there you go, Scrabbler.. good thinking!

9:27 am

Scrabbler

I briefly talked with a guy yesterday as he exited his car and I was returning to my car. I regret not talking to him longer. He was alone.

folks who work with machinery often don't wear rings either - not a good indicator (unless there's a tan-line where the ring is supposed to be!)

9:33 am

Scrabbler

I figure, if I ever meet the right guy, it will be through a common activity.

9:34 am

medusa

9:34 am

I have been shut out of babble on two browsers- can't log in.

1:31 pm

uusue2

hi kap! Good to see you found one that works!

1:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

ye, but wtf?

1:34 pm

MollyL

Check your computer for malware. You should be able to log into any site from any browser.

1:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

oh, no- not more malware. And does anyone know what a clickjacking attempt is?

1:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Tell me how to do this- I thought I got rid of all the Browse-to-saves.

1:38 pm

MollyL

It's getting you to click on something you think is innocent when it really isn't. Basic rule of thumb is never, ever click on a link in an email, even if it is from a trusted source. People forward all kinds of crap that could be a link to a malicious site.

1:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I didn't do it, I swear. But now what?

1:39 pm

MollyL

You need to have good malware protection on your computer, especially if you have a web site that makes your email address very public.

1:40 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I thought I did.

1:40 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Iave norton and all kinds of protection. Condoms, the whole bit.

1:42 pm

rururocks

Condoms can come in handy I bet

1:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

look, it's an unsafe world. I use hand sanitizer, everything.

1:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I checked my fiefox and chrome and there are no suspicious extensions.

1:43 pm

rururocks

HA Kap...

1:44 pm

rururocks

that's what the condoms are for

1:44 pm

rururocks

<---heads to gutter

1:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Iactually haven't been able to play babble on firefox for months

1:47 pm

MollyL

Norton is virus protection. You need malware protection. Malware Bytes is free. You should have someone look at your computer. No one can diagnose it via the internet. No matter how computer savvy they pretend to be.

1:48 pm

MollyL

Oh and I agree. Condoms should always be used on suspicious extensions.

Our road is still not plowed, driving is dangerous anyhow, everything is closed and I'm getting cabin fever. all I've done in the last 2 days is shovel snow.

3:33 pm

bichon

Hi everyone

3:34 pm

MollyL

It gets old after a while Bich. Hope you get plowed out soon.

3:35 pm

bichon

They say we'll be plowed out by tonight, but the forcast is for freezing rain tonight. No driving anywhere till that all melts. But, I do have Babble and all youse guys

3:38 pm

MollyL

It's supposed to be 55 here tomorrow. Maybe some of that warm air will work it's way toward you.

3:39 pm

bichon

Yes, it will be warmer. Maybe winter is over

3:40 pm

3:58 pm

FW. Thank you Molly

3:59 pm

MollyL

Peri, in Dead Poets Society, the teacher told his students to make a sound that started with Y. Two of the g words rhyme with that.

Well done, Bichon.

3:59 pm

periwinkle

hi all!

5:12 pm

crosshair

suze!!

5:12 pm

uusue2

hi crossy!

5:12 pm

uusue2

it was getting a little lonely here!

5:13 pm

crosshair

how is frank doing these days?

5:13 pm

crosshair

well i am here now to cause mayhem and chaos

5:13 pm

uusue2

Frank is good, crossy, right now he is out shoveling slush

5:14 pm

crosshair

if he is shovelling,he is taking the chemo very well.i am glad

5:14 pm

uusue2

we had snow and then freezing rain and now things are sort of melting so he wants to get it out of the way before it freezes again

5:14 pm

MollyL

And how are you doing these days Sue?

5:14 pm

uusue2

he is indeed, the worst side effect he is having is dry skin

5:15 pm

uusue2

I am good too, Molly, I finished my big freelance projects so actually have some time to relax now

5:15 pm

MollyL

Good, so all your health problems are on the mend?

5:16 pm

uusue2

they are although apparently I have to stay away from caffeine, sigh

5:16 pm

MollyL

Oh God, that's rough. : (

5:16 pm

uusue2

also we just looked at the house we are going to be moving into, and it looks really nice

5:18 pm

MollyL

That's good, is it bigger or smaller than your current house?

5:19 pm

uusue2

bigger if you include the finished basement, and newer

5:19 pm

MollyL

Perfect. Then you don't have to get rid of a lot of stuff to fit in. When do you move?

5:20 pm

uusue2

It will be ready March 1, and we have to be out of this house by the end of March, so we'll spend March moving things over gradually

5:20 pm

MollyL

That's the best way to move.

5:20 pm

uusue2

it's less than half a mile away so most things won't really even have to be packed

5:21 pm

uusue2

once we get all the little stuff moved, I'll get movers to move the big things.

5:26 pm

crosshair

a change is nice.time to get rid of old clutter.we have been in same place for 20 years now and really need about 3 yard sales back to back

5:27 pm

uusue2

yes, I'm starting to go through stuff and get rid of a lot of things

5:27 pm

uusue2

also I hired the sister of a friend who has been decluttering and organizing all our stuff, which has been a big help too

5:28 pm

crosshair

problem is here in tourist country we get "flea market trolls" they will come by 3 minutes after you set up and offer you one price for everything,load it all up and resell it at their table they have at the market on saturdays

5:29 pm

uusue2

I'm mostly donating stuff, books to the church for book sales, clothes to goodwill, and the like

5:29 pm

crosshair

and it is tempting,but they generally offer about half of what you would get if you stuck it out all day

5:29 pm

MollyL

I gave up on yard sales. I was appalled by the way people wanted to dicker down to nothing on things I had reasonably low prices on.

5:29 pm

crosshair

yes,clothes are always donated

5:30 pm

crosshair

i price nothing in my sales.if you come up i say"well,what would you thing is a fair price for that" you say a price and if needed i counter offer.i tend to do better that way

5:32 pm

uusue2

I'm not planning to try to sell anything, most of my stuff isn't worth it. I may freecycle some things (want an old organ?)

5:32 pm

crosshair

no,thank you lol

5:32 pm

MollyL

Yard sales are a lot of work too. I never found what I made worth the effort.

5:33 pm

crosshair

for example,right now i am staring at 3!! complete stereo systems on the top shelf of the coat closet;(

5:33 pm

uusue2

me either, Molly.

5:34 pm

uusue2

we wil have to buy a bunch of new furniture but that will be kind of fun - a way for Frank and me to have a place that is really ours

5:35 pm

MollyL

It must be nice now that it is just the two of you. Certainly less drama what with the girlfriend situation.

5:35 pm

uusue2

indeed it is! we'll have a place where Leo can stay if he needs to; the finished basement is actually really nice

5:37 pm

uusue2

fireworks!

5:37 pm

MollyL

Good. You can rent it to him if he wants to move back in. : D

5:37 pm

uusue2

there you go :-)

5:37 pm

MollyL

I'll go tend bar in the PB now.

5:38 pm

uusue2

Did I mention that there is a bar in the basement?

5:38 pm

uusue2

Dry, but still...

5:38 pm

Lizlin

Hi Molly and Sue - the house sounds good Sue :)

5:39 pm

uusue2

hi liz! It's going to be great!

5:39 pm

MollyL

I can work around a dry bar.

5:39 pm

Lizlin

And congrats on the fireworks :)

5:39 pm

Lizlin

BYO parties!

5:41 pm

MollyL

Or, instead of a house warming party, have a "stock the bar" party. : D

5:42 pm

Lizlin

:)

5:42 pm

uusue2

that is a good idea! I may very well do that :-)

5:42 pm

Lizlin

clue for the 2nd ar pls?

5:43 pm

MollyL

My nephew gave up the most beautiful, brick walled bar when he moved. I got teary thinking about it.

5:43 pm

Lizlin

As long as he took the stock with him!!!!!

I had no idea there were British Academy Awards. Never heard of them before this year.

5:54 pm

Lizlin

Baftas have been around for years but I guess in the US at this time of year, the build up is towards the Oscars!

5:54 pm

Was just looking at some of the dresses worn to the baftas - and Helen Mirren's hair.

Hello Babble Land!

6:18 pm

MollyL

I just realized that my brownie in a cup recipe is different from Smores recipe, so I put mine in my profile. Mine calls for cocoa, not hot chocolate mix. And it has vanilla in it.

6:30 pm

MollyL

Oh dear God, forget the BAFTA dresses. Go look at what Adele showed up to the Grammy Awards in. I think I have retinal damage.

6:34 pm

ch1212

oh dear, she looks like a teacup. Well, let's face it: she makes up in vocal talent what she lacks in fashion sense. :)

6:34 pm

Lizlin

Sounds yummy! Going to look at Adele now!

6:35 pm

Lizlin

Definite teacup! But I do love her voice!

6:40 pm

9:35 pm

MollyL

Smores, I looked at your brownie in a cup recipe and mine is different, so I posted mine too.

9:35 pm

smores

Cool Molly, I'll check it out.

9:35 pm

cosdem

Just realized one of the actors in zero hour was on this abc family show I liked... but he dresses the same in ZH as he did in Greek. exactly the same.

9:36 pm

cosdem

9:37 pm

cosdem

9:39 pm

9:40 pm

torgone

We never have obsolete monetary units here, cos ..

9:40 pm

smores

:)

9:44 pm

MollyL

For the odd, freakish person who does not like chocolate chips. Or the baking impaired who thinks they can't make it without the chocolate chips.

9:45 pm

smores

The chips are a must :)

9:48 pm

Nef

Good Evening All. We've got the Grandson; and will have him through Tuesday; so I haven't been online the past few daus again. How are you all tonight? Hunkered in; staying warm and out of the weather I hope?

9:48 pm

cosdem

sp7 please? (hi nef)

9:49 pm

smores

Your recipe is similar to the original one I had, except it was regular not brown sugar. I think it was also 4T each as well. Not sure though, I still have is somewhere.

9:49 pm

cosdem

it just started snowing pretty heavily here

9:49 pm

smores

Hey Nef :)

9:50 pm

smores

same as sw7 if you have it cos

9:50 pm

Nef

Hi cos and smores.

9:50 pm

MollyL

4 tablespoons = 1/4 cup

9:50 pm

cosdem

thanks didnt have sw7 too.. got both now

9:51 pm

smores

:) Molly

9:51 pm

cosdem

i need to try these recipes molly and smore

9:52 pm

Nef

thanks cos and smores for the clues (22 words found thus far; should know better than to start a game this late n the day)

9:53 pm

Nef

and Molly; since I've always thought that 3 TBS = 1/4 cup; that may explain why I'm a lousy baker! :-)

9:53 pm

cosdem

4 tbsp = 1 cup is the only measurement i have memorized sadly

9:54 pm

smores

lol...cos

9:54 pm

MollyL

I've never understood why a recipe calls for 4 tablespoons instead of 1/4 cup. It's a lot easier to measure 1/4 cup than to measure 4 tablespoons.

9:55 pm

smores

true...

9:55 pm

Nef

very true, Molly

9:55 pm

cosdem

only because i see a lot of recipes that call for 4 tbsp..

9:55 pm

MollyL

*Makes a note not to eat Cos's baked goods*

9:55 pm

smores

lol...I don't think he caught it Molly

9:56 pm

cosdem

lol. i follow recipes precisely.. but when i have to convert i look it up.. except for the 4 tbsp one :P

9:56 pm

cosdem

i meant 1/4 cup :P

9:56 pm

smores

<---rarely follows recipes

9:56 pm

cosdem

baked goods I follow strictly.. others I improvise

9:57 pm

cosdem

te6/21 please?

9:58 pm

smores

I was out of unsweetened cocoa and wanted brownies is how I came up with the cocoa mix idea :)

9:59 pm

cosdem

9:59 pm

smores

10:00 pm

cosdem

10:00 pm

smores

If unsweetened then use Molly's recipe cos

10:01 pm

cosdem

10:02 pm

cosdem

pooo i dont have brown sugar.

10:02 pm

cosdem

found a recipe.. brb making it now

10:02 pm

smores

It'll work with regular sugar

10:07 pm

MollyL

Brown sugar...
LIGHT â€“ 1 cup sugar and 1 tbsp molasses
DARK - 1 cup sugar and 2 tbsp molasses

10:07 pm

MollyL

Most people don't keep molasses around though.

10:08 pm

cosdem

ugh forget it i dont have sugar. just sugar cubes lol tried smashing them but.... too much work

10:09 pm

cosdem

I had a jar of molasses but threw it out last week due to never using it :P

10:09 pm

cosdem

te6/21 please

10:10 pm

MollyL

That's funny Cos. Reminds me of a party I was at in college. The next morning, there was no sugar for coffee. This guy was trying to knock the powdered sugar off a doughnut into his coffee. : D

10:10 pm

10:55 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

10:56 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Book Doctor Gwen

11:02 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

11:09 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

11:09 pm

Nef

11:09 pm

Nef

oops! Off to the PB for me.

11:11 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(tossing some tostitos over the wall into the PB)

11:12 pm

Nef

thanks, Gwen. I've got guac and salsa and fresh veggies; but some salty carbs are good too

11:13 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(and some nice cold coke) (?)

11:15 pm

Nef

no thanks. I've finally given up soda pop; and I don't drink alcohol; but I love my teas and coffee. (drinking some Good Earth Original right now)

11:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

last week i gave up milk. it gives me indigestion (!) although i think i could probably take it in small amounts

11:16 pm

Nef

can you have yogurt?

11:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

as for digestion, i don't know, since yogurt is too disgusting for me to eat 8-)

11:20 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i'm a bit neurotic about food . . .

11:21 pm

Nef

LOL! My sone was lactose intolerate and couldn't drink milk til he was 7 yrs old; now my daughter (who's 30) just informed me she can't drink milk anymore! Just wondering if it's a lactose intolerance for her (and you)

11:22 pm

Nef

neurotic? How so?

11:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

lactose intolerance is just a descriptive, not an actual disease, so, yes, my guts are becoming intolerant all right LOL

11:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

neurotic in that i can't manage to eat anything that has the consistency of snot, for one thing

11:24 pm

Nef

I'll agree it isn't a disease; but it definitely was a medical condition that had severe effects on our son!

11:24 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well, cow milk wasn't meant for humans anyway . . .

11:24 pm

Nef

oh, dear (I Had to ask; huh?) ;-)

11:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(nor is curdled cow milk)

11:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i have often wondered, the person who invented cottage cheese, how did they know when they were done inventing it?

11:25 pm

Nef

true. I read somewhere that there was a genetic change just 7000 years ago that allows humans to digest milk

11:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

cows and horses and cats can eat grass but i'm thinking i would have a hard time with that, too LOL

11:27 pm

Nef

It does make one wonder; doesn't it?

11:39 pm

Nef

Okay; too tired to do anymore. Good Night, Gwen; and good Luck!

11:40 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

night night nef

11:55 pm
