Erda

Several actresses have portrayed that role...

Glantarell

I'm down to 97

2:58 am

Glantarell

but i did resort to al list at half way

2:58 am

worzel

You seasoned pros make me smile - I've only got 47 and my eyes have gone completely!!!

2:59 am

Glantarell

'seasoned pros' has a good ring to it, sounds better than 'addict' LOL

2:59 am

puglet

If I get to the halfway point I feel thats a wonderment in itsself

3:00 am

puglet

If I ever got em all they would have to pick me up off the floor

3:00 am

puglet

but each day I learn a new word or two

3:00 am

Glantarell

when you're been playing a while you gte to know the 'babblets' - odd words that crop up again and again, but which you never use in everyday speech

3:02 am

puglet

I just found this site at the end of last month

3:02 am

Glantarell

nice bunch of people here and because it's worldwide, there's always somebody around, day or nigt, whatever your time zone

3:02 am

Glantarell

it's well worth the once on a lifetime fee to go 'pro'

3:03 am

Glantarell

where in the world are you puglet?

3:04 am

puglet

I though so just after a few days here.Everyone seem so nice and all. I just wish I was a tadbit smarter on lest common words

3:04 am

puglet

Im slow--sorry

3:04 am

puglet

Im in the US

3:04 am

Glantarell

the thing that often catches me out is that both US and UK spelling thing

3:05 am

Glantarell

and remembering to add an S to the end of all my words if there's one in the gridLOL

3:05 am

Glantarell

so for example, the rubber things a car runs on is spelt 2 ways today

3:05 am

Glantarell

and pluralled both ways

3:05 am

puglet

I dont know how to get my flag by my name---------OK thanks for the imfo

MollyL

Well, yeah, in British folklore.

uusue2

morning all!

7:20 am

MollyL

Hello Sue, eerily quiet in here this morning.

7:20 am

Trifioso

morning all - nbt in 23, I must admit, that one feels good

7:20 am

uusue2

it is, isn't it?

7:20 am

uusue2

hi trif! good for you!!

7:21 am

Trifioso

it doesn't happen very often, as I struggle with determining which word comes from which letter, so I am happy

7:22 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

7:23 am

Trifioso

hello liz

7:23 am

uusue2

hi liz!

7:23 am

MollyL

Hi Liz

7:23 am

Trifioso

is liz your real name?

7:23 am

Lizlin

I'm happy to be called liz :)

7:23 am

Trifioso

I only ask because elizabeth is my real name...

7:24 am

Lizlin

Ahhhh! A good name :)

7:25 am

Trifioso

to be fair, only a very few people call me liz, I usually go by the whole thing

7:25 am

Lizlin

I made the decision at about age 10

7:25 am

Lizlin

But I'll answer to Elizabeth too - but only to people who've known me a very long time.

7:26 am

Trifioso

I made mine when I went to college out of state. I grew up being called "beth" or - dread- "bethy"

7:26 am

Anniebrook

my daughter's name is elizabeth ( I still call her by that name) but her friends call her liz

7:26 am

uusue2

hi annie!

7:26 am

Trifioso

how funny, lizlin! I am just the opposite, then. People who have known me a long time call me beth, people who I have met since college call me elizabeth

7:27 am

Lizlin

Never was called by either of those. Most of the family call me Liz.

7:27 am

Anniebrook

hi uu, How is Frank?

7:27 am

Trifioso

its a great name annie - I am glad its mine. you can do a lot with it.

7:27 am

Anniebrook

I love the name.

7:27 am

uusue2

he's struggling more with the chemo, annie, it is really starting to wear him out

7:27 am

Lizlin

I'm also happy with my name and certainly think of my initial as being E not L!!!

7:27 am

Trifioso

im sorry to read this news, uusue. I have been thinking of you both

7:28 am

Lizlin

Sorry to hear that Frank's struggling with the chemo - lots of warm wishes from here.

7:28 am

Anniebrook

I think of Frank and you too. Frank is in my prayers.

7:28 am

uusue2

thanks, trif and liz! four more cycles and then he gets a rest from it.

7:29 am

uusue2

thank you, annie!

7:29 am

Lizlin

That'll be a welcome break for both of you.

7:29 am

uusue2

it will indeed, liz!

7:33 am

MollyL

Mental note: No Lizzy or Lizbet : D

7:34 am

Trifioso

speaking of prayers, yikes! I need to leg it to church....I will tell god you all said hi.

MollyL

Hmm, anyone nicknamed Teeny is usually anything but.

NonoNanette

7:43 am

Lizlin

Hi to those who've just joined the chog :)

7:43 am

Mom

I have finger marks on mine all the time from trying to make words so I can type them in

7:43 am

Anniebrook

good morning, nono, how's the shoulder?

7:44 am

Mom

Hi Liz. My mom's middle name is Elizabeth as is my cousin who is called Beth

7:44 am

NonoNanette

getting slowly better Annie

7:44 am

Mom

Nono, what happened?

7:44 am

Lizlin

Lots of us around it seems :)

7:44 am

Mom

7:44 am

Lizlin

Yet, I've only met 2 others in "real" life!

7:44 am

NonoNanette

7:45 am

Mom

oh Nono, I am so sorry to hear that

7:45 am

Lizlin

Ow! You poor thing!

7:45 am

NonoNanette

ty

7:46 am

Mom

My mom's first name is Nina and I have only met one other person with that name

7:46 am

MollyL

I never use a name for anyone that they haven't introduced themselves as. I find that very presumptuous.

7:47 am

Mom

Margaret is one name here that no one ever calls them self that. It is always some variation

7:48 am

NonoNanette

have never 'met' anyone with same first name as mine but have seen or heard the name in the news

7:49 am

MollyL

The only people I ever met who went by Margaret were nuns. : D

7:49 am

Lizlin

As an ex teacher, I always asked the kids what name they wanted to be known by - sometimes parents didn't like the names the kids chose! Nothing nasty - but a Josh for example, who was only ever known by family as Joshua!

7:49 am

Mom

:-) Molly so true

7:49 am

Anniebrook

Liz, that was thoughtful of you

7:49 am

Mom

Nono, is your first name Nanette?

7:50 am

Lizlin

I guess it stems from my preference for Liz.

7:50 am

NonoNanette

No, it's Noreene

7:50 am

Mom

I think that is the way it should be, Liz.

7:50 am

Mom

What a pretty name, nono

7:51 am

NonoNanette

most people seem yo think so mom, but
i

7:51 am

NonoNanette

don't really like it

7:51 am

Mom

:-)

7:52 am

Mom

no way to make a shortened name of it, is there?

7:52 am

NonoNanette

not really, thats how the Nono evolved

7:52 am

MollyL

Reeny

7:53 am

MollyL

A lot of Irenes go by Reeny.

7:53 am

Mom

don't hear many Irene's any more either

7:53 am

NonoNanette

in college everyone tried to shorten it,,,i got Noti, Renie, etc and kept saying No don't call me that

7:53 am

Mom

7:53 am

Anniebrook

My sil's name is Renee but we call her Reenie

7:54 am

NonoNanette

Nori *

7:54 am

MollyL

Yee Gods, my husband's grandmother was named Regina and they pronounced it like female anatomy.

7:54 am

NonoNanette

so they started calling me nono

7:55 am

NonoNanette

I always tell little kids to call me nono, because it's easier to say and remember

7:56 am

Mom

I knew a person who was the last one born in his family (we are going many years). When he started school the teacher asked him his name and he said his first, middle and last name and added mommy's baby darling because that is what she always called him

7:56 am

Good day to all.

8:32 am

72 Temple Owl

buying FOUR new ti4/4

8:33 am

Anniebrook

owl, that's a good idea

8:33 am

Scrabbler

I had to buy 2 a few weeks ago so I could pass my state inspection.

8:34 am

Scrabbler

Hi Bobby--watching NCAA basketball or focusing on baseball?

8:35 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, He is following both sports

8:35 am

BzznBea

Who does he hope wins the championship, Annie?

8:35 am

Scrabbler

Aha.

8:35 am

BzznBea

In basketball.

8:36 am

Anniebrook

Louisville Cardinals, ( I just asked him)

8:37 am

BzznBea

That's who I think will win too. Unfortunately.

8:38 am

Anniebrook

bea, when I told him what you wrote, he said, "Oh boy" and smiled

8:39 am

BzznBea

Tell him I am a HUGE Kansas Jayhawl fan.

8:39 am

BzznBea

Jayhawk

8:39 am

Scrabbler

My mother went to Syracuse so we always root for the Orangemen.

8:40 am

Dorens

morning all

8:40 am

Anniebrook

He said, Michigan beat them. ( did they?) I just want to know if he is on top of things.

8:40 am

Scrabbler

Hey Doren

8:40 am

Anniebrook

hi Dorens

8:40 am

BzznBea

I got my MA from WSU and it is only about 25 miles from "home". I was tooring for them last night.

8:40 am

Scrabbler

Yep, Michigan beat Syracuse.

8:41 am

BzznBea

rooting...I am dyslexic today.

8:41 am

Anniebrook

thanks scrabbs.

8:41 am

Scrabbler

I root for underdogs too. Wichita State was ahead in the 2nd half then Louisville came alive.

8:42 am

BzznBea

Yes, Louisville seemed to be stunned by the Shockers that first half.

8:43 am

Anniebrook

I do not follow basketball, Bobby keeps me in the loop

8:43 am

BzznBea

Didn't want to go with the obvious..."Shocked by the Shockers".

8:44 am

72 Temple Owl

hi doren

8:45 am

Dorens

i am recovering from a crazy day. yesterday, picked up my grandkids from central park, took them to french restaurant for lunch with my daughter (their aunt Rachel), then saw Lion King, then great Greek restaurant with their parents and my best old friend, then Leonard Cohen with the latter. Got home at 12:30 and tried to complete the grid. Haha! and now i'm bleary.

8:45 am

BzznBea

Sounds like a fabulous day, Dorens.

8:45 am

72 Temple Owl

how was, he, doren?

8:46 am

Scrabbler

Whoa!

8:46 am

Dorens

crammed a whole lot into it, that's for sure.. And exercise class in the morning too

8:46 am

hurshy

ah, some of my favorite words, pu4 and 5

8:47 am

Dorens

oh owl he was just fantastic. voice deeper and better than ever.. 78 years old, ran onto the stage and skipped off. played for three hours with one intermission. i love him.

8:47 am

72 Temple Owl

wow, i envy you. he is not playing here. but i am looking forward to seeing rodriguez tomorrow

8:48 am

Dorens

i don't know rodriguez. i don't know many of the new musicians. it must be what keeps you young, keeping up with new music, and i'm an old fogey.

8:49 am

Scrabbler

Hurshy, I am not sure if I found those

8:49 am

72 Temple Owl

rodriguez is not new; he is new again. or for the first time. he is sugarman of searching for sugarman film

8:50 am

Anniebrook

meow

8:50 am

Dorens

that's cause you have rabbits instead of cats, scrabs

8:50 am

hurshy

:)

8:50 am

72 Temple Owl

and you are not an old fogey.

8:50 am

Scrabbler

Found 'em!

8:50 am

Dorens

oh, yes i never saw that film and wanted to. will have to find it on netflix when i have time.

8:51 am

72 Temple Owl

i heard it was great, but then again i heard that from my music friends. but he is sold out and I will see him courtesy of the station. or hear him more likely

8:52 am

Dorens

that's great owl.. i'm sure it will be great

8:52 am

72 Temple Owl

i just keep wondering why we never heard him? it was the kind of music that fit right in to the times.

8:53 am

72 Temple Owl

if you get a chance, check it out. take you back to the day

8:57 am

Dorens

talk about taking you back to the day, check out a book called true believers by Kurt Anderson. i'm chuckling throughout (not that it's funny.. just such nostalgiaa, and it is clever) well i've passed halfway and need to find some breakfast. bbl. happy babbling all

phaeton

hello jes

10:51 am

jesdraggon

how goes?

10:53 am

phaeton

good...U?

10:57 am

rururocks

hello everyone

10:58 am

phaeton

hello ruru

10:59 am

rururocks

I was thinking Jess.. that there seems to be so much more drama in teenagers lives these days.. than when I was a kid...

10:59 am

Jillyjill

Morning all! Hello ruru, phaeton, jess, welki and ruby

11:00 am

phaeton

hi jilly

11:00 am

MollyL

Oh I don't know. West Side Story and Rebel Without A Cause seem to document that there was plenty of teen angst in days gone by. : D

11:00 am

phaeton

ayin

11:00 am

rururocks

good morning ms montana

11:01 am

phaeton

oops...how did that get there?

11:01 am

Jillyjill

oh, how sweet of you ruru!!

11:01 am

MollyL

He's darling

11:02 am

Jillyjill

Jess, as a adult involved for more than 16 years in hs youth ministry, I can tell you...the teens today live in a much more stressful world than even my kids did 10 years ago...

11:03 am

rururocks

i'm trying all sort of non-words

11:03 am

rururocks

irgasm and angry climax

11:03 am

rururocks

irgasm an angry climax

11:03 am

rururocks

that is

11:04 am

Dorens

ditto that-there's always been teen angst, but Facebook has added an absurd new level, jilly

11:04 am

rururocks

ah.. I bet you're right Doren

11:04 am

phaeton

the internet has added more...not just FB

11:04 am

MollyL

Regasm, better than irgasm.

11:04 am

Jillyjill

As is almost overwhelming expectations of teens by families, schools and society

11:05 am

rururocks

come again?

11:05 am

welki

missing the original post from jess about teenage drama - where is it?

11:05 am

Dorens

so i saw leonard cohen last night and I'm in love all over again

11:05 am

MollyL

I think this is a continuation of last night's discussion.

11:05 am

rururocks

<---doren likes old farts.. doren likes old farts

11:05 am

Jillyjill

The teens I work with are running from sunrise to midnight...little sleep. It's a travesty...

11:06 am

welki

lucky gal - i know a couple of people who were at the concert last night - he's pretty amazing (did he sing 'closing time?")

11:06 am

rururocks

:D

11:06 am

MollyL

Hmm, Dorens likes you.

11:06 am

rururocks

oopsie

11:06 am

welki

thanks, molly

11:06 am

Dorens

ru is younger than me---cant be an old fart in my eyes

11:06 am

rururocks

<---now categorized

11:06 am

MollyL

Oh, hence the arrow. I am so slow.

11:06 am

hootowl

Jilly - How can they have any expectations when they never taught their kids to be anything but moochers?

11:06 am

Jillyjill

Love Closing time.... "every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end"...what great lyrics

11:06 am

hootowl

morning everyone

11:07 am

MollyL

Excellent point Hoot.

11:07 am

Jillyjill

Oh, I heartily disagree with that overy broad based statement hootowl

11:07 am

Jillyjill

Not the teens I see...

11:07 am

rururocks

I do like Leonard Cohen too though.. great song-writer

11:07 am

Jillyjill

Not in the least

11:07 am

hootowl

Thanks I expected to be dumped on.

11:08 am

Jillyjill

That's an unfair assumption

11:08 am

hootowl

Maybe it comes from growing up in NY and now living in Tenn!

11:08 am

MollyL

Many kids have no expectations whatsoever. They are given cars, not expected to get jobs, and have all things paid for. I see where Hoot is coming from.

11:08 am

welki

not dumping, i don't think, owl - just that we don't see the majority of hard-working and ambitious teens because they don't draw attention to themselves (like the moochers, the lazies and the trouble-makers)

11:08 am

Dorens

dont think i heard closing time, and missed a lot of my very old favorites but three encores beginning with So Long Marianne. And his voice is sublime now. can't believe he is 78 though

11:09 am

welki

(and, like you, i grew up in ny, too, owl!)

11:09 am

Dorens

I work with kids who don't have all that much... parents losing jobs, or working two to try to make ends meet. but still mucho problemos

11:10 am

hootowl

I realise that welki. I don't usually make blanket statements either. But it's gotten completely out of hand!

11:10 am

rururocks

kids where I live are pretty much given everything

11:11 am

welki

could be - because the 'haves' have problems, the 'have nots' have problems - everyone's having problems :(

11:11 am

rururocks

the kid around the corner drives a nice car than I have

11:11 am

hootowl

Hey they throw people in jail for stealing from the government and then re elect them when they are released.

11:11 am

hootowl

What am I missing here?

11:11 am

Erda

I don't think anyone playing this game lives in a slum...

11:12 am

welki

i hear it at work, too - can't make their financial obligations because 'they go to school' - don't have part time jobs, and yet i see they have iphone 5s and coach bags and ....

11:12 am

Jillyjill

or has worked in one..

11:13 am

Dorens

i worked in east orange for 15 years... west philly years before. methadone clinic on the other side of the fence of our school's playground. think it qualified as a slum

11:13 am

rururocks

it was tough for me growing up poor and black...

11:13 am

MollyL

If kids are exhausted, I wonder if it's because parents have laid the groundwork for that. Run to soccer, run to dance class, run to karate lessons, grab fast food, cram homework time in...etc...etc...

11:13 am

MollyL

Patches, we're depending on you son.

11:14 am

rururocks

LOL:D

11:14 am

hootowl

I don't really think the majority worry about homework

11:14 am

welki

east orange is a rough place

11:14 am

rururocks

<---I smoked my "homework" in high school

11:14 am

Dorens

and middle school was the roughest, welki. by hs the kids had either settled down or dropped out

11:16 am

welki

or some are exhausted because they take care of their siblings before school, go to school all day themselves, take care of their brothers/sisters after school, try to do homework, maybe play a little sports after the folks get home - so many different scenarios

11:16 am

MollyL

No matter the locality, or the amount of "privilege"...teen angst has always been borne out of the passage from childhood into adulthood and the drama that ensues. I think that is cross generational.

11:17 am

MollyL

And some kids never go through that because they became "mini adults" in order to deal with dysfunctional parents.

11:17 am

Dorens

exactly. so many different scenarios. kind of hard to make generalizations. I'm just glad I already raised my kids.. it is harder these days, for sure

11:17 am

hootowl

But the subjects of that angst has changed tremendously!

11:17 am

welki

dorens, the majority of my school years were spent in jamaica, queens - not the nicest area, but we did okay

11:17 am

rururocks

jamaica today isn't like then though

11:18 am

welki

it very much is, ru

11:18 am

Dorens

jamaica did have some diversity, right? It has changed some now (had cousins there back in the day)

11:18 am

Jillyjill

And please do not forget that the MAJORITY of teens (yes even my Catholic ones) come from divorce and blended families

11:18 am

rururocks

really.. I heard it's getting pretty rough now

11:19 am

hootowl

Well back then divorce was a nono. My parents were a perfect example.

11:19 am

Dorens

everything is getting rough now (except napa valley :-)

11:19 am

rururocks

I have friends that live in Syossett

11:19 am

rururocks

I have friends that live in Syossett

11:19 am

welki

there was a co-op complex built right in the middle of jamaica - on the old jamaica race-track - the diversity came from the white folks who lived in some (probably most) of those apartments.

11:19 am

rururocks

Napa is getting rough..

11:19 am

rururocks

:D

11:19 am

MollyL

Divorce was a no no and kids lived with unhappily married parents. Many of whom turned to drugs and alcohol. But that was not spoken of either, back then.

11:20 am

welki

the kids of those white folks, once they finished elementary school, were bused into schools outside the neighborhood - was an interesting time, i can tell you

11:20 am

hootowl

Whe I went for mine , it was not about getting rid of a prison but 'what will the neighbors and the relatives 'think!'Me? No sweat!

11:20 am

welki

me too, owl - if you lived with your mom, she certainly wasn't invited to any of the parent functions

11:21 am

hootowl

Parent function? Never happened at all. I think I raised myself

my parents couldn't function after 7 oclock

11:22 am

welki

that's not what i meant - my mother was a single mom in the 60s and was ostracized for being a divorcee (and like you, i was a latch-key kid who pretty much was responsible for my sister and myself - parents were like ru's)

11:23 am

welki

hehehe - so maybe it wasn't the divorce that caused her to be ostracized - ossified, that's what i meant

11:23 am

rururocks

we spent more time alone as kids than we saw our parents really

11:23 am

rururocks

this grid just got snarky

11:23 am

Dorens

snarky for me too. and i still have 80 left

11:24 am

hootowl

Mine never divorced. We moved to the island and we saw him on sundays when he brought mom the paycheck.

11:24 am

welki

86 here

11:24 am

periwinkle

hi all, 92 here

11:24 am

rururocks

I think I need to list after all

11:24 am

MollyL

Well, I think the point has been made that no generation has cornered the market on angst or drama. : D

11:25 am

welki

so i guess the punch lines are: teenagers, now as in the past, are troubled.

11:25 am

hootowl

I found out after he died that he had a steady in the city. My uncle told me, I think expecting a denial. I said good for him!

11:25 am

welki

sheesh - and: the times, they're not a-changing

11:25 am

MollyL

We just hear more about it now, due to media bombardment.

11:25 am

Dorens

sorry. angst always has existed, but I think most people involved with kids these days have made the point that facebook has increased the drama exponentially

11:26 am

rururocks

I agree with you doren.. i believe that's true

11:27 am

welki

<-- thinks dorens should know, that's her schtick. not like the 'old days' when a 'slam book' was the ancient equivalent of FaceBook

11:27 am

hootowl

Don't know how to explain this - she complained about everything I did or said and expected me to drop everything to do something for her!

11:27 am

jesdraggon

wow. I wander away to read comics and everybody comes out of the woodwork to vent about the kids :)

11:28 am

Jillyjill

LOL Jes....that'll show you not to step away

11:28 am

welki

too bad you couldn't put her up on craigslist, hoot

11:28 am

jesdraggon

I guess so, jilly :)

11:29 am

Dorens

actually, it's the parents that bother me, more than the kids

11:29 am

hootowl

No one would have her

11:29 am

rururocks

we've tried that.. "Available..used MIL.. can be cranky, and uppity.. will never accept son in law.. etc"

11:29 am

rururocks

no one took us up on the offer

11:29 am

Dorens

but does mrs ru concur?

11:30 am

rururocks

yes

11:30 am

Dorens

ah, that does make it worse

11:30 am

hootowl

You get very, very tired of being constantly told that you are wrong about everything! She even complained that my hair was to curly when I have always had naturally curly hair! My aunt heard it a just shook her head.

11:31 am

Dorens

poor hoot - glad you survived

11:31 am

welki

ditto

11:31 am

jesdraggon

Are you talking about my gramma, hoot?

11:31 am

welki

gotta run for a bit - later, good people

11:32 am

jesdraggon

have a good one, welki

11:32 am

hootowl

Can't believe there is more than one of her. Suffice it to say that the whole family is that way and that is why I finally left NY!

11:33 am

Jillyjill

By welki hagd

11:33 am

hootowl

I met the Bf, cut them all off when they started complaining on-line and I am very happy now!

11:33 am

jesdraggon

heh. yeah, there's more than one of her - my gramma used to chide me non-stop about drinking more water and less milk, because milk would give me kidney stones.

11:34 am

rururocks

it must be difficult being a pariah

11:34 am

jesdraggon

then the first time i asked for a glass of apple juice instead of milk, she started in on how I need to keep drinking milk because it's good for my bones.

11:34 am

hootowl

I'd have settled for kidney stones!

11:34 am

Judi

Good afternoon, Babblers!

11:35 am

jesdraggon

G'morning Judi :)

11:35 am

rururocks

*waves towel..heads for list*

11:35 am

hootowl

I bought a sweater once..Multi-color horizonal stripes. Was roundely denpounced as an abomination by mom and 2 siteres

11:36 am

hootowl

When I wanted to wear it I would have to rescue it from one of them!

11:36 am

hootowl

But according to them it was a horrible sweater

11:38 am

hootowl

You really get tired of being told that you are wrong about everything! And now I will shut up!

11:38 am

jesdraggon

they were just trying to protect you from the horror by taking it away :)

11:38 am

hootowl

riiigghhhttt!

11:39 am

jesdraggon

My mom has sa4 that the reason she got married so young was so she could move out of her mom's house.

11:39 am

hootowl

Out of the frying pan and into the fire!

11:40 am

jesdraggon

truly they just had your best interests at heart, hoot

11:40 am

jesdraggon

hah. yeah, my dad is pretty damned infuriating. but they are still married and will likely stay that way.

11:40 am

hootowl

Didn't work for me. He just started doing the same things they did an addition to his own little jabs!

11:41 am

jesdraggon

well that's not much of an escape then... :(

11:42 am

hootowl

No - I was the rebel who didn't do what they told me to, especially when I knew it was wrong. There seemed to be a big target on me and they made sure there was never any peace!

11:45 am

Judi

Oy, family. Can't live with 'em and can't be totally cured by years of psychiatric therapy! :-p

11:46 am

Judi

:-p (rather).

11:50 am

jesdraggon

i suppose i should go brave the ra4/4 to feed critters and haul in firewood. back in a bit.

11:52 am

Judi

Time for me to scoop the litter boxes and catch a nap. Later, kiddos! *POOF*

12:17 pm

car.eeyore

Good afternoon!

12:21 pm

MollyL

Hi Car, how is life up New England way?

12:22 pm

car.eeyore

Having a very quiet afternoon. Watching the Sox.

12:22 pm

car.eeyore

How are you?

12:23 pm

MollyL

I'm fine. I heard Fenway's sell out streak was about to end. I was shocked.

12:23 pm

car.eeyore

Ticket prices are very high.

12:24 pm

car.eeyore

It is nearly impossible to take the family in for a game anymore without dropping @ $400

12:24 pm

car.eeyore

And that does include food, parking, tickets, etc.

12:24 pm

MollyL

I figured it was a combination of that plus so many people being out of work.

12:24 pm

car.eeyore

Yup.

12:25 pm

jesdraggon

back again. anything important that i missed?

12:25 pm

car.eeyore

The boys have each been to a game with their dad, but we have never all gone together.

12:25 pm

car.eeyore

Hi Jesdraggon!

12:25 pm

MollyL

Prices will never go down until people start refusing to pay them.

12:27 pm

MollyL

All the sports big wigs are now stuck with pricey arenas they built expecting to pay for them with high dollar tickets...and the tickets are not selling.

12:28 pm

jesdraggon

how're you, car?

12:28 pm

car.eeyore

I am well. You, jes?

12:28 pm

jesdraggon

could be worse, could always be worse

12:28 pm

car.eeyore

I agree Molly. It is ridiculous.

12:29 pm

1:20 pm

flosey

I do love to watch figure skating

1:20 pm

LOL... I just need one more g word :-)

1:56 pm

MollyL

Weirdest g???

1:56 pm

flosey

1:56 pm

m9f9l

hmm.. I have that one flosey

1:56 pm

cgypsy

hmm... the ga5/14 is kind of unfinished word....to dress up a dinner plate

3:15 pm

Soodle

Ok. I wasn't sure how far his fame went. He is playing an 'intimate cabaret' gig in the hotel my daughters work in, tonight. He's a Major Diva!!!!

3:15 pm

bichon

no, I stopped listening to pop music after the Beatles

3:16 pm

MollyL

He's a HUGE diva. He is the only artist whose people asked for any unpaid for reference of his (lyrics specifically) to be taken off my husband's web site.

3:17 pm

Soodle

My girls are going to infiltrate his room, snifle some personal article, and put it on EBay. (No they're not, but they're tempted!!)

3:18 pm

Tupelo Honey and Moondance were pretty popular singles of his as well.

3:25 pm

MollyL

Oh yeah, forgot to take out the \n

3:26 pm

MollyL

Unfortunately there are celebrities that think they
are too grand for the common folk. He is one of them.

There is a special "feel" when you visit a place
with a lot of history. Many people who visit
the Gettysburg battlefield say they get that "feel".

Deliberately ignoring RuRu's comment!

4:24 pm

crosshair

and in those two months you are bombarded with massive garden fresh tomatos for next to nothing,then they are gone..sniff

4:26 pm

Jillyjill

I do freeze mine if I have enough; they get mushy, but still the taste beats anything store bought during winter

4:26 pm

MollyL

The greenhouse tomatoes I get at the Amish market in the winter are almost as good as summer ones.

4:27 pm

crosshair

years ago we made the mistake of planting 4 beefsteak tomato plants.we thought "what harm could come out of 4 itty bitty plants,maybe have a few nice nights of sammiches and some pizza sauce" but OMG! ,we had tomatos everywhere! mounds of them.the poor plants had to be tied up with old hockey sticks.we game them out all over town and it never seemed to end hehe

4:27 pm

crosshair

gave

4:27 pm

bichon

We only eat the cherry types of tomatos. The ones I get at Costco are great

4:27 pm

Jillyjill

No winter markets here molly...

4:28 pm

Jillyjill

And crossy, that was a mistake???

4:28 pm

MollyL

I chop up my extras and freeze them and then use them in chile, soups and stews.

4:28 pm

crosshair

well,no,but we learned fast the art of canning tomatos and put up 35 1 quarts jars of them

4:29 pm

Jillyjill

And I dry mine too...great in pasta

4:29 pm

Jillyjill

Oh and can salsa too

4:30 pm

crosshair

had a lady from next door donate a few boxes of canning jars,i ran out and got some new rubber gaskets and she worked with us all day and we canned the lot

4:30 pm

MollyL

Mmm, salsa is the best with fresh tomatoes.

4:30 pm

Jillyjill

It is a chore to can. Unfortunately a lot of mine is done after work in the evening. But it is worth it!

4:31 pm

crosshair

her price was 10 jars of product.good trade and we learned from a pro

4:31 pm

Jillyjill

That is true molly, I do that as well...but then I have salsa to give as gifts at christmas...

4:31 pm

crosshair

i still have a few of the old crown jars around with the glass lids:)

4:32 pm

MollyL

No I meant even canned salsa is great with fresh tomatoes.

maybe Colorado was jealous?

6:19 pm

periwinkle

6:22 pm

uusue2

sorry, peri, don't have it

6:25 pm

MollyL

To state something again?

6:25 pm

7:14 pm

crosshair

yes,i am sure.when i was to that point ,i almost did not give a damn about what was going on around me or what i was trying to eat or even if i ate or bathed.wanted to just curl up in a ball and lay there.takes a strong woman to do the home care and my beloved was like a rock and i am sure you are doing amazing suze, just make sure you take some time for yourself as well

7:16 pm

smores

Hey Sue...sorry to hear Frank having problems, you are both still in my prayers

7:17 pm

Lizlin

So many people have commented that this is an easy grid - not for me :(

7:17 pm

crosshair

speaking of the titanic.you guys should look up current news on your S.S United States. she has been in storage basically since 1969 and they are doing a fundraiser to restore her.she is the last of her kind and longer than the titanic and still hold the time record for the atlantic crossing

7:17 pm

DR1965

not for me either Liz

7:17 pm

uusue2

thanks, smores, these last 2 months are going to be rough, I'm afraid

7:17 pm

Lizlin

Glad I'm not the only one!

7:18 pm

7:19 pm

Lizlin

7:19 pm

DR1965

I am not even half way

7:20 pm

7:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:21 pm

smores

Yes TO...recipe is in my profile :)

7:21 pm

stidgmere

I'm done cooking for the day but will make the pie recipe Crossy gave me very soon.

7:22 pm

crosshair

"i was giving stimere a nice recepie for one,smore

7:22 pm

crosshair

i would use flour vs bisquick

7:22 pm

stidgmere

All for now, my brain is fried even if my custard pie isn't. Love to all.

7:22 pm

Lizlin

Enjoy your evening stidg :)

7:22 pm

smores

lol..bye stidg :)

7:27 pm

smores

I just looked and have it at 45 min. hmmm...it should be 35

7:28 pm

Lizlin

Is bisquick what I'd call nesquick - a chocolate drink powder?

7:29 pm

uusue2

no, Liz, Bisquick is a baking mix, unflavored, with flour and a leavening agent

7:29 pm

smores

lol...no liz...Bisquick is a baking mix

7:30 pm

Lizlin

OK - not something I've come across! ty for explaining.

7:30 pm

smores

If you substitute flour instead add 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

7:30 pm

uusue2

the "bis" stands for biscuit, it's supposed to be a faster way of making them

7:31 pm

Lizlin

I'll have a look in the baking section here - out of interest but I never came across it in the UK either.

7:32 pm

crosshair

bisquick used to be huge here for biscuits and making dumplings etc but it seems to have fallen by the wayside lately

7:33 pm

smores

Here is the substitution for Bisquick...although when I have used flour I just add the baking powder.

7:33 pm

crosshair

i also think you can make pancakes with it

7:33 pm

smores

One cup of Bisquick can be substituted by a mix of one cup of flour, 1½ teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of oil or melted butter.

7:34 pm

Lizlin

ty for that info :)

7:34 pm

smores

yw :)

7:34 pm

crosshair

8:08 pm

it is an historic vessel,welki and they want to save it from the scrap heap

8:08 pm

crosshair

they have 2 months to do it.then it is gone

8:09 pm

8:09 pm

crosshair

8:14 pm

crosshair

the uss hope was sold for scrap in 1978

8:14 pm

welki

so, while reading about the SS United States, I ran across a site that's advertising it as a real estate development opportunity, that the ship will be 're-purposed' to house at least a museum and some educational facilities - http://tinyurl.com/c4gdzz6

8:14 pm

I think I saw a news report on it. They do surgery on people of a certain culture who have large tumors from overgrowing tooth enamel.
