12:27 am
melonheadjujube

been a rough week. Son in hospital again. Dual diagnosis. Should be home by the end of the week.
12:27 am
Uneaixoise

so sorry, melon
12:27 am
VolleymomDee

so very sorry, mel
12:27 am
justafreep

that sounds rough indeed
12:29 am
melonheadjujube

He has periods of irritation that escalate to agitation and even rage. The substance use side was hdden from me for a long time because it was happening when he was at his dad's. Accepting the magnitude of the situation was hard. I cried all weekend. But fading up is the start to amking things better.
12:30 am
justafreep

yuk, mel. hope this is the start of a good change, though.
12:30 am
VolleymomDee

The facing up part is a huge step. How old is he now?
12:30 am
melonheadjujube

He's actually "triple dx"—learning disability, mental health issues (still no firm dx), and using. I was beginning to worry whether I could handle him at home. this, my sweet considerate kid.

Meds are being adjusted and the psydoc is finally on board re SSI. Finding appropriate housing is the next step, though not right away. I am so grateful for the Magnolia Clubhouse, a remarkable organization.
12:31 am
VolleymomDee

I would think at this point being in the hospital is a positive.
12:32 am
melonheadjujube

It is. It's actually good that I called 911 and that the ER didn't send him home. The hosp I wanted was full up, but where he is is good enough. I had to bang heads to get some family therapy though. Nothing like a mom who sure she's right... (;
12:32 am
VolleymomDee

Have never heard of them, but glad you have a solid organization to help!
12:33 am
melonheadjujube

They are part of what is called the Clubhouse Model for Psycho-social Rehabilitation. ICCD.org has lots of info. The first such clubhouse was Fountain House in NYC.
12:35 am
melonheadjujube

What is über-cool is that the membership sits on the board and helps run the place, so client and social worker are peers. They have a resale shop, a full commercial kitchen, and provide employment support. It is a beautiful thing, and changed ME as to how I view mental illness.
12:35 am
Uneaixoise

sounds amazing . . .
12:36 am
melonheadjujube

Best thing to happen to him after HS.
12:36 am
VolleymomDee

Fantastic! Do they have an inpatient offering?
12:39 am
melonheadjujube

No. They aren't a hospital; they have a clinic in a back building, but the focus is not medical, it's social. He'll be going there daily when he is discharged. They are right in Cleveland's University Circle, our "other downtown", home to Case western Reserve University, The Cleveland Orchestra, the art museum, hospitals, etc. On Magnolia drive, they occupy two former mansions. A linking atrium is being built.
12:39 am
melonheadjujube

babble and basenotes are two fantastic online communities for providing moral support. I luv you all (:

1:11 am
rururocks

oh.. come on.. really?
1:11 am
flosey

and that is darned annoying - and not necessary
1:11 am
Lizlin

Time for another partner!
1:12 am
jillibus

but she is a really good player -- it's just embarrassing.
1:12 am
Lizlin

Can you have a quiet word with her for the future?
1:12 am
rururocks

good player with bad manners
1:13 am
VolleymomDee

Ignoramus... someone needs to teach her some manners.

That goes without saying :)

*giggles at jillllli's joke*
1:18 am
jillibus

oh yes, we play regularly with the partners we choose, if available. She isn't always like that but has a tendency to be annoying, not just to me. But thereisn't a lot of choice -- people like flosey have regular partners, such as Mr flosey or another friend.
1:18 am
rururocks

time to have mr flosey take on this player
1:19 am
flosey

not likely ru

Sounds like a good idea - or when you travel up there ru - even if you don't play bridge!
1:19 am
jillibus

ty ruru -- all I have to do now is think of a plain in Spain where it doesn't rain.
1:19 am
Lizlin

Negative ending, Jilli
1:19 am
flosey

there'd be quite a LOUD argument if that were to happen
1:19 am
rururocks

as long as you don't have disdain for the plain in spain where it doesn't rain
1:20 am
jillibus

mr flosey taught her the game, lol!

i'm sure he'd have the correct re-tort
1:21 am
flosey

I don't think so jilli, I think she became more aggressive after hearing Audrey
1:21 am
jillibus

did I tell you who supplied "the rain in Spain fall mainly on the plain" to the movie Pygmalion, on which My Fair Ldy was based?
1:22 am

Try system restore..to an earlier date , when the computer was working fine.
4:40 am
sprite

yeah. Dem thing started rebooting spontaneously all of a sudden yesterday. It doesn't reboot when I am in safe mode. So probably software related. Scanning now.
4:41 am

4:46 am
ivesy3

dr recommended melatonin for me rose,was worried i would feel drowsy next day. any side effects?
4:46 am
grannyrose

sprite, use the magnesium for the tremors....it sure settles them.
4:46 am
zoozzoom

(((Rose))) Does not sound very nice.
4:46 am

well needed rain
6:45 am

Really? Do you live in a desert area?
6:46 am
bichon

no, we get, usually about 36" of rain a year. It has been a drought.
6:46 am
Lizlin

In that case I hope the forecasters are right.
6:47 am
bichon

This time of year the grass grows real fast and everything is very lush
6:47 am

Is rain seasonal for you? Here the summer is our wet season.
6:48 am
MollyL

I am intoxicated by all the lush green at this time of year. It's just gorgeous.
6:48 am

No, we get rain all year round, even in the summer. We don't have a Mediterranean climate

the ta 4.5 always makes me chuckle....when I was in college, in a chemistry class, the prof told us to add a "ta*" of sodium to a formula. One of the foreign students was puzzled at the word, and asked him how much a ta* was. The prof told him it was "1 over a sh*tload" which of course caused an uproar of laughter
7:25 am

Yes, molly, that was indeed unfortunate

Me too, Molly..i know one of the young ladies has a child of 6 now..so the news has reported.

my officemate once had someone break into a hotel room she was sleeping in, and considered jumping out the window to her death rather than be raped. (turned out it was a little old woman thief so it was fine)
10:11 am
MollyL

People pay so little attention to their surroundings these days. It's sad.
10:11 am
hurshy

honestly though, if they were quiet usually, what were the neighbors supposed to notice?
10:13 am
rururocks

well.. I hope they throw a hefty jail sentence for those jerks
10:14 am

i think if you psychologically scar someone for life, you should get life in prison.
10:15 am

rape, child abuse, etc
10:15 am
rururocks

I concur
10:16 am

i don't know why the sentences for these things can be lighter than i think they should be when on the other hand we have ridiculously overdone sentences for drug possession

10:46 am

I think it was one of those things that hid the smell of alcohol during prohibition or some such.

Somewhere there is a website that features the grossest candy and gum ever created. Can't remember the name of it, of course.

The Old Time Candy site is pretty cool. They even sell age appropriate gift boxes.

Uneaixoise

they like to sit on top of the soil and bake in the sun

2:30 pm

Also Hagan-Daz is making gelato. I tried the limencello. it is delish.
2:32 pm
bichon

I have never had any problems with my Japanes Irises. They like sun, but I haven't experienced grubs. They multiply, so I have them all over the place
2:38 pm

lemon curd is fabulous!!
2:38 pm

indeed! I have just used it on raisin toast. what do you use it on Une?
2:38 pm

I bought it at Trader Joes
2:39 pm

Peri, try putting lemon curd on top of your blueberry muffins before you bake them.

4:44 pm
Buggie

Hmmm, must be a cultural thing. I've heard of tipping cows but it's just cruel to do that to waiters
4:44 pm
MollyL

Always tip your server. Otherwise you get weak drinks and warm beer.
4:45 pm
MollyL

Boy howdy Tor, let's go on out and tip us some cows.

I hope so too lilliann -- the wind shifted a few hours ago so it's not as awful as it was.
5:24 pm

Because we are still getting dewy mornings, many out here are fooled. all they have to do is dig an inch and it's bone-dry. I have prepared evacuation plans now for years. Involves boats and a lot of friends!

5:29 pm

wonder why not, jilly -- have they been in the same place a long time? they can deplete the micronutrients after a while.
5:29 pm

Ursh is in da grid!

No stiddy, put the bed in 2 years ago...
5:30 pm

Next year, I will test our garden soil again. It was time already, but that's on hold for now. Too many plants heeled in! you should have seen how the bluebells took off after I put them in the lovely loamy veggie beds.
5:30 pm
lilliann

my strawberries are growing but now flowering yet but alot of the trees around us don't even have leaves on yet.apparently we are atleast 4 weeks behind with our plants and trees
5:30 pm
stidmama

oh, probably not that then -- do you notice any mold or discoloration around the leaves? there is a slime mold that sometimes attacks the strawberries around here.
5:31 pm
phandmd

I just checked our local pick your own farm says strawberries should be ready to pick 5/20
5:31 pm
phandmd

I was hoping for sooner than that...
5:31 pm
lilliann

i take my strawberries out every year and get rid of all the dead leaves and then re-plant them in fresh compost
5:31 pm
Jillyjill

May be an issue of dryness like everything else...just NOT used to having to water so early in season
5:31 pm
MollyL

Probably due to the chillier than normal Spring here, Phan.
5:31 pm
stidmama

mmmm. that would be so nice to have to memorial day over sponge cake, with home-made ice cream... *drifts into dream land*
5:32 pm

there is a toddler throwing an insistent tantrum in the next building over... I think it's nap time. LOL for the parent, perhaps, if not for the kid!
5:34 pm
phandmd

yes, but that really puts a rush on things, That whole week I have to be at school all day for NCLEX review. I am going to have to ask someone to pick for me.
5:35 pm

5:36 pm

5:37 pm

Oh wow, I wish I could get someone to pick for me. My strawberry picking days are behind me. Too much wear and tear on the back.
5:38 pm
phandmd

agreed. I have a neighbor that might be willing, I also have my daughter in town from San Diego for a visit, maybe she will do it.
5:38 pm
stidmama

ah. yes, that's going to be intense, I am sure - hopefully though the review will feel very simple because you are that prepared and brilliant. "-)
5:39 pm
MollyL

I get fresh strawberries from the farmer's markets when they are in season.
5:39 pm
phandmd

hopefully! :^)
5:39 pm
phandmd

But to make the quantity of jam I need to make, that would be too pricey. Picking your own is a good bit cheaper.
5:39 pm
lilliann

i'll lob you some of mine over when they grow molly, along with my homegrown raspberries, bluberries and blue berries, so i'd take cover and also wear protective clothing from staining :P

5:42 pm
lilliann

my back garden doesn't look so lovely as i can't get into it with my chair now so hopefully this year sometime i'll be able to get it levelled for me so i can have planters i can reach.normally alot of my fruit goes to the birds as i ask my daughter to pick them but she doesn't.so i now grow alot of fruit and veg in tubs in the front yard as i can get around that
5:43 pm
MollyL

Raised beds would be perfect for you L. Maybe your husband can build you some.
5:44 pm
stidmama

you need the key to the secret garden, lilliann -- where you will find a swing and magical plants just waiting for your hand to bring them back to life. :-) and raised beds for planting wouldn't hurt! LOL
5:44 pm
lilliann

and i love the fact that now i can get blue currant and rasperries that grow in tubs, so i'm going to have to treat myself this year to some. i have apple/pear and plum miniature trees in pots but didn't get any fruit last year so hopefully this year but with our bad winter i'm not holding out for much
5:46 pm
stidmama

I hope the trees in the pots made it through... I really love my fruit trees.
5:46 pm
lilliann

he's never here molly so he did say last year that we'd get someone in to re-do the garden for me. i want to keep some grass and the rest will have to be on 3 levels with ramps and raised beds all around. i need to design what i want

I am not fooling: once the temp gets above 40 or so here; kids stop wearing their winter coats. I've seen kids going to school in just their T shirts for over 3 months now
6:17 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

kids these days . . . lol
6:17 pm
MollyL

Sorry Nef, but that is just abnormal. And I see it here too. My next door neighbor wears shorts all year round. Even when it's in the 20's.
6:20 pm
Nef

When my kids were young; I insisted that they wear their jackets til the temp was above 60 degrees (F). They always complained I was the Only Mom who did that
6:21 pm
MollyL

You weren't, I did too.
6:22 pm
Jillyjill

Mine tried to pull that on me too nef
6:22 pm
Nef

LOL! We just didn't live close enough I guess. ;-)
6:22 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i assume the "only mom" comment came from a brief survey of 2 or 3 friends, not a scientific sample LOL
6:22 pm
MollyL

They had light jackets for that kind of weather though.
6:22 pm
Jillyjill

I would tell them, "I used to think I had the meanest mother in the world...I was wrong...YOU do."
6:22 pm
Nef

yeah; I didn't make them wear heavy winter jackets that long.

when we were on holiday in egypt a few years ago.the bairn caught a puffer fish and then when it was brought on board the boat it puffed up and the guy said i'll put it back, so he dived in the water with it and i wondered why he had a knife, then he came back and said it swam away and when i said'why did you have a knife' he said i had to pop it so the air would come out...so we were all happy, thinking that this fish swam away and then after wards my hubby said to me'what do you think he did with the knife, he can't pop a fish without killing it'. ! the man didn't want to say anything in fornt of the bairn
6:50 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

ewwwwww
6:51 pm
MimiCat

I second that ewwww!
6:51 pm
lilliann

i felt upset and so stupid, thinking, well i didn't think he could :) apparently once puffer fish puff out they will die. i don't know how true that is
6:51 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

poor little (and/or inflated) fish!
6:52 pm
MimiCat

Nope, not true, lilliann...they can puff up and deflate over and over.
6:52 pm
lilliann

hi mimi
6:52 pm
MimiCat

Hello, dear.
6:52 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

it's bees that die when they sting, so they can only sting once
6:52 pm
MollyL

That is about as funny as a tourist like friend of ours telling us that they saw the "chimney sweeps" on top of The White House.
6:53 pm
lilliann

i thought so mimi, but this fish had puffed out so much and these men do fishing trips every day of their lives so maybe it had puffed too much and that was the best thing to do
6:53 pm
MollyL

Or maybe he just didn't want to kill the fish in front of the little girl L.
6:54 pm
MimiCat

Sorry, lil, but they were either lying or stupid...killed it for no good reason...hate that.
6:54 pm
lilliann

maybe, but he never brought it back up to the surface, unless he has a hid-e-hole under the see full of dead fish
6:55 pm
lilliann

no, he never told us he'd killed it. he said it swam away
6:55 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

maybe he was lying about "popping" the fish, hoping you were an ignorant tourist
6:55 pm
MollyL

Sure L, sure. You just keep believing that happy, shiny story. : P
6:55 pm
lilliann

it was my husband that told me he's killed it
6:55 pm

6:58 pm

The puffers get even sometimes, though, when the Japanese don't prepare them properly and someone dies because they're poisonous. It's considered a delicacy called fugu....stupid, in my opinion, to risk that.
6:58 pm

then there was the summer camp counsellor who picked up an operculum and said it was a fish scale . . .

when we've been to egypt before there were 2 animation guys who were egyptian and one said he was from mexico and the other said he was from jamaica.i didn't believe them but alot of women did. if they were mexican or jamaican they would have been better off staying in those countries than trying to work in egypt

7:05 pm
lilliann

i just like to think the best of people, but i'm not so stupid, i normally know when someone is taking the pi**, but sometimes some stories can be plausible and i suppose it also depends on what mood i'm in and whether i'm listening or not :)
7:06 pm

Sadly, the really slick talkers can fool just about anyone. As in the Nancyboy scam.

Gwen, if you post it in your profile here, and include a PayPal address, you could make some serious money.
: D

yes, that would be good gwen, so we can see how many would believe it.i'll have to remind myself that it isn't true though as with my memory i'd forget :)

i might say i would, but i never do
7:11 pm

Oh you should have heard the sob story L. It was enough to make a cynic weep.
7:12 pm
lilliann

it looks good to others if you say you'll send money but i'm not that gullible. i only send to proper charities and i know they are proper registered ones
7:13 pm
lilliann

i never knew about the money side of it molly. i must have totally missed that
7:13 pm
MollyL

The thing is, you never know about what you hear on the internet. People can make things up and get you to believe just about anything, if you are so inclined. Unfortunate, but true.

I just found it sad that this group of mostly nice people got taken when it came to donating money. And there was no way to say anything about it, because the person in question was a big favorite here.

Short version: A former poster here was posting woe is me stories about family financial problems. Another poster said "I am raising money for her, to donate, here is a PayPal address". Alas. the poster lived in a country that has US currency exchange issues. So people started sending checks to the "collector". The PayPal money went through (according to the story) but the checks did not. So anyone who sent a check to the collector lost their money. Some to the tune of some big bucks.

Changing how you eat or drink is a lot like changing anything else. The more you focus on what you are "not having" the harder it is. Just a thought.

Sue, happy to hear your good news. Will be politically correct and throw bird seed. : D
8:42 pm
uusue2

Are you working for Pearson, smores? I do a lot of freelance work for them.
8:42 pm
lilliann

why do people throw rice...it hurts
8:42 pm
lilliann

and bird seed will be just as bad :)
8:42 pm

Yes Sue...just started yesterday..that's cool :)
8:42 pm

i'm having all the flags of places i've ben to and loved
8:44 pm
MollyL

Okay, now we have to blow bubbles so L won't get hurt. Perhaps release a flock of butterflies too?
8:45 pm
lilliann

well, i suppose it's better than doves, they could sh** on your head
8:45 pm
lilliann

paper confetti will do molly
8:46 pm
smores

LOL
8:46 pm
MollyL

: D Imagining the charming wedding photo
8:47 pm
lilliann

yes, it wouldn't look good, especially if it ended up in an eye, it would be like a pirate with a white patch :)
8:48 pm
lilliann

then all you'd need was the dove landing on your shoulder and you'd definitely look the part, especially if you had too many drinks before the ceremony and were leaning a bit
8:48 pm
MollyL

Psst...Sue...Montana is pretty and all that but hope you go somewhere a little more romantic for your honeymoon. And visiting a Babble player while on your honeymooon....um...no. : D
8:49 pm
lilliann

i'm going to shut up now be3fore i upset people or more people and find some words :(

8:49 pm
uusue2

Well, we bid on a vacation at our church auction, so it will be either Hilton Head or Hawaii.
8:50 pm
smores

wonderful :)
8:50 pm
MollyL

Ah, beautiful, both of them. Good for you.
8:50 pm
lilliann

hawaii, i've always wanted to go there.where is hilton head?
8:50 pm
Jillyjill

LOL Molly, uusue and i have already met. And may I remind you of Chico Hot Springs? Purrfect honeymoon place...
8:53 pm
uusue2

Hilton Head is an island off South Carolina.
8:53 pm
Jillyjill

I think I'd choose Hawaii....
8:54 pm
uusue2

Yes, we're leaning that way although its a lot more expensive to get to
8:54 pm
Jillyjill

done 'traveling' and now back home....
8:55 pm
Jillyjill

Allegiant Air flies to Honolulu...then GoAir is pretty cheap to island hop
8:55 pm
uusue2

True but we can drive to Hilton Head
8:56 pm
lilliann

thanks sue, i'll google it later
8:57 pm
uusue2

Whew! Just spent an hour and a half with Comcast trying to get my service sorted out. Glad that is over!
8:58 pm
MollyL

The drive to Hilton Head would be a lot more fun than the 8 million hour flight to Hawaii. : D
8:59 pm
uusue2

Yes, and getting food for Frank on the plane won't be easy
8:59 pm
MollyL

And probably a better bet for Frank, all things considered.
9:00 pm
uusue2

also, Hilton Head we would have to ourselves (although we could invite another couple if we wanted), Hawaii we'd be with the minister and her partner
9:01 pm
uusue2

whom I love dearly but it would be a different kind of experience
9:01 pm
MollyL

Um, sharing a honeymoon with a minister. I vote for Hilton Head! : )
9:02 pm
smores

definately would go with Hilton Head :)
9:02 pm
lilliann

hilton head :)
9:02 pm
uusue2

:-) of course we are Unitarians so pretty relaxed about everything - also Hilton Head would be in November, Hawaii would be January
9:03 pm
MollyL

Sue, you are so nice. "A different kind of experience".
: D
9:03 pm
uusue2

well, I'm old, I've had a lot of different kinds of experiences :-)
9:03 pm
lilliann

you're on your honeymoon.have time to yourselves for a change
9:05 pm
lilliann

my honeymoon was with 3 children 1, which was mine and my parents :)fun was had by all...but me :)
9:05 pm
uusue2

well, whichever we do it will be several months after the wedding
9:05 pm
lilliann

well, not in the way i was thinking a honeymoon should be :)

I have one that's the plural of a mo5/14, penquis
9:08 pm
MollyL

I don't care how old you are, or how many years ago you got together, you two deserve a romantic honeymoon. Especially after all you have been through.
9:09 pm
lilliann

i had chicken livers for the first time a couple of weeks ago at a pub and i bought some but i'm not sure what to do with them apart from a pate
9:09 pm
uusue2

that is very sweet, molly!
9:09 pm
penquis

guess i don't have the mo 5/14, lol....
9:10 pm
uusue2

well, you can wrap them in bacon and grill them, lilli
9:10 pm
uusue2

it's like the go5/16, penquis
9:10 pm
lilliann

i agree with molly whole heartedly sue :)
9:10 pm
penquis

just found it....thanks
9:10 pm
lilliann

hi pen
9:10 pm
uusue2

or I used to have a recipe for a macaroni casserole that involved cheese, tomatoes, and chicken livers although it would probably be just as good without the livers
9:12 pm
Jillyjill

Hawaii in January would be a nice break from winter...
9:12 pm
MollyL

Oh, excuse me, I just ralphed at the thought of chicken livers in macaroni casserole. : O
9:12 pm
lilliann

i've never done that with liver before, i do cook other liver with bacon and onions but that's dry fried as the fat on the bacon gives enough fat out. i had chicken livers in a vermouth sauce in a puff pastry basket(basically a vol-a-vent case)
9:13 pm
lilliann

i must admit i'm not a macaroni person and i don't think i could eat it with liver
9:14 pm
penquis

hi lillian
9:14 pm
MollyL

Notes that Jill is still pushing hard for Hawaii.
9:14 pm
lilliann

but i didn't think the liver went with pastry
9:14 pm
uusue2

well, Hawaii is pretty nice
9:16 pm
MollyL

Hawaii = Nice, very nice. Sharing a Hawaiian honeymoon with a minister...not so sure about that. No matter how much love and all that is there.
: D
9:16 pm
lilliann

the bairn hates liver so i'm trying a different liver which isn't strong tasting and i need to do it in a way she will eat it, but saying that if she doesn't she won't get a sweet after(i'm a tough mam)
9:17 pm
MollyL

Oh good luck L. I would rather die of starvation than eat liver.
9:17 pm
smores

kids in bed..dog and cats are back in..gonna try for a few more
9:17 pm

could I get a clue for the 7?
9:18 pm

uusue2

ah, thanks! got it.
9:18 pm

I like liver :) with lots of carmelized onions...yum
9:19 pm

although I am 20 years past that and still think of myself as no older than middle aged...
9:19 pm
smores

9:20 pm
lilliann

she hates veg now aswell molly, since she started high school and her friends don't eat this or that, but she always ate every meat and veg we fed her without a complaint.now she's just a fussy teenager.she'll say she's full up after 5 mouthfuls but she can eat biscuits and icecream...well, none of that unless she eats proper food!! :)
9:20 pm
MollyL

We are as old as we feel. No question about that. Some feel young at 60, others act old as the hills at 30.
9:21 pm
lilliann

me to smores. i like lambs, calves and pigs liver.
9:22 pm
lilliann

no molly. we are as young as the person we feel :) sorry lowered the chat again!
9:22 pm

hey folks (lillian - wrap the chicken livers in some bacon, secure with toothpicks (our kind of bacon, if you can find it) and fry them up - sprinkle with a little cayenne and serve with some sour cream on the side
9:22 pm
penquis

hi welki
9:22 pm

9:25 pm
welki

((sue))
9:26 pm
lilliann

sounds nice welki ty.your bacon is streaky isn't it.i like more bacon than fat which is why i like our back bacon especially when wrapping food as it covers all and keeps the meat underneath moist
9:26 pm
lilliann

night jill, tc hin and sweet dreams
9:26 pm
welki

yes, it's like streaky
9:27 pm
welki

you need the fat to keep the liver moist
9:27 pm
welki

(we have back bacon, too (and peameal bacon) - not sure if it's like yours)
9:28 pm
lilliann

my hubby and bairn like your bacon as they lie it cooked to a crisp i dlike my bacon just cooked
9:28 pm
welki

our back bacon is very much like ham - solid meat, little or no fat
9:29 pm
lilliann

my daughter will have me burn her bacon i cut all the fat off mine and microwave it for a minute
9:29 pm
lilliann

like ours then welki
9:30 pm
lilliann

saying that, ours is thinly sliced.our ham joints are chunkier
9:31 pm
lilliann

i don't know peameal bacon though. i've heard crossy talk about it
9:31 pm
smores

must head to bed...50 left
9:31 pm

Night all :)
9:31 pm
lilliann

night smores, sweet dreams and tc hin

uusue2

night smores!
9:31 pm

peameal is back bacon with a coating of cornmeal. keeps it from drying out
9:32 pm
uusue2

and I will be off as well, see you all tomorrow!
9:32 pm
lilliann

we have ham like that, but not bacon
9:32 pm

i've written it down and will look when i've finished welki
9:35 pm
lilliann

are you off aswell teach or just saying good night to people?
9:35 pm
MollyL

I've never thought of the peameal stuff as bacon. My husband said it was a Canadian/US difference. But he preferred the strip bacon over the peameal stuff.
9:36 pm
welki

different meats for different sorts of breakfast - eggs benedict wouldn't be the same without back bacon, diner bacon and eggs would only be diner bacon and eggs with strip bacon
9:37 pm
welki

i like it all - which accounts for my roundness :)
9:39 pm
lilliann

see, we have smoked bacon, back bacon and streaky and i would only have back bacon with breakfast and smoked in soups and other meals where the smokiness brings more flavour, but i don't like streaky as too much fat
9:39 pm
welki

(and, for the record, i like maple sausages with pancakes)
9:40 pm
MollyL

Okay, I get back bacon (the hammy stuff) for eggs Benedict. And I get strip bacon for traditional diner bacon and eggs. What is a traditional peameal bacon dish?
9:40 pm
lilliann

i also use the back bacon to wrap around other meats
9:40 pm
welki

then i'm not sure what you'd do with the chicken livers, lilliann - maybe saute some onions with a little bacon fat and toss the livers in until they're (almost) cooked - by the time they reach the plate, they'll be perfect
9:41 pm
lilliann

nowt against my friends across the pond but do you really eat bacon with pancakes and maple syrup on the same plate?
9:41 pm
penquis

heck yes!
9:41 pm
welki

peameal and back bacon are used interchangeably up in alberta - they're the same cut of meat. one is rolled in cornmeal, the other isn't. just double checked with husband. he said, 'i'd call them the same thing"
9:42 pm
lilliann

i would maybe griddle the livers with a tiny bit of olivce oil but i like my livers black on the outside but moist on the inside
9:42 pm
lilliann

what's that about!!
9:42 pm
lilliann

sorry, but how can you eat meat with maple syrup?
9:43 pm
welki

hehehe ... and that was sort of my reaction the first time i had a scotch egg. you actually roll a hard boiled egg in sausage, coat it in bread crumbs and bake it?
9:43 pm
penquis

moi?....i eat bacon with pancakes and maple syrup on the same plate...
9:43 pm
penquis

well it's with the pancakes....sweet and salty
9:43 pm
lilliann

that's better than coating it in maple syrup
9:44 pm
penquis

well it all goes down the same tube as my brother used to say
9:44 pm
welki

to each their own
9:45 pm
penquis

any clue for as 6/24?
9:45 pm
lilliann

like my hubby says' if it doesn't stick in your throat it won't stick in you're arse' excuse vulgarity
9:45 pm
welki

nope, sorry. another grid i won't finish.
9:45 pm
lilliann

i like my sweet sweet and savoury savoury
9:45 pm
MollyL

Oh, L has the same aversion to maple syrup as my husband did. And he was from Canada. : D
9:46 pm
penquis

got seven left but i have hit a brick wall....
9:46 pm
lilliann

i don't mind maple syrup but not with meat
9:46 pm
penquis

my grandparents on both sides were French Canadian
9:46 pm
lilliann

i don't want pineapple on a pizza either
9:46 pm
penquis

i don't like that either
9:47 pm
welki

agreed. no pineapple on pizza, but husband loves it - pineapple and ham (like back bacon!)
9:47 pm
penquis

and i usually don't like meat cooked with fruit
9:47 pm
lilliann

i don't have any as's sorry pen
9:47 pm
penquis

np..
9:47 pm
lilliann

neither do i pen
9:48 pm
welki

ohh, but i love country style ribs with sweet and sour sauce, pineapple, onion and peppers
9:48 pm
MollyL

I don't get meat and fruit. I'm like L. I like my sweet, sweet and my savory, savory.
9:48 pm
penquis

i like pork ribs in Montreal at Bar B and they are sweet....but no sour....and no tomato
9:48 pm
lilliann

i like plum sauce and sweet and sour sauce with different meals but i don't want pieces of fruit with my savoury
9:49 pm
welki

no tomato in mine either, penquis
9:49 pm
lilliann

i don't like waldorf salad as it has nuts and apple with lettuce
9:50 pm
penquis

there is one thing i like with meat and fruit in it....chicken salad with grape halves and either walnuts or pecans....
9:50 pm
lilliann

duck with orange or plum sauce is lovely
9:50 pm
MollyL

Don't get me started on all that gelatin salad with nuts, fruit and marshmallows in it. : O
9:50 pm

not a duck fan
9:50 pm
lilliann

i couldn't eat that pen
9:50 pm
penquis

don't like any gelatin salad
9:51 pm
lilliann

marshmallows in a salad?
9:51 pm
welki

i confess. i like ambrosia (but have never had it with nuts in it - only coconut, mandarin oranges and marshmallows)
9:51 pm
MollyL

To me, chicken salad is chicken salad. It's not fruit salad, it's chicken salad.
9:51 pm
penquis

it's more like jello with salady things in it and marshmallows
9:52 pm
lilliann

so like jelly with salad in it?
9:52 pm
welki

(oh, and pineapple)
9:52 pm
MollyL

Marshmallows are a salady thing?
9:52 pm
penquis

well they put fruit and marshmallows in it....other stuff, too, i think.....but i don't like it
9:52 pm
lilliann

exactly molly. i want what is on the 'tin' i don't want any extras
9:53 pm

9:54 pm
lilliann

writing it down for later welki
9:54 pm
MollyL

I've never gotten into the "gourmet groove" of adding raisins, cranberries, grapes or nuts to meat salads.
9:54 pm
lilliann

oh, a fruit salad then?
9:54 pm
welki

mmmm ... sweet potatoes with some marshmallows tossed in
9:54 pm
welki

yes a fruit salad
9:55 pm
penquis

usually at Thanksgiving someone in the family makes a sweet potato dish that has marshmallows on top...one year someone didn't have marshmallows and put peeps bunnies on top instead
9:55 pm
lilliann

i like sweet potatoes and i can't think of the other thing i like.it's peachy coloured with a big bulbous end and has seeds in the bulbous end
9:56 pm
lilliann

neither have i molly. meat is lovely on it's own, it doesn't need fruit so just leave it alone
9:56 pm
MollyL

L. it's Jell-o and fruit and marshmallows and just that kind of congealed concoction. I'm getting queasy now.
9:56 pm

butternut squash?

Her ears fell when she teethed and never stood back up again. One of her adult teeth never came in and I wonder if that has something to do with it as apparently it is common for the ears to flop during teething.

No, I meant a cheat clue as in clues that include "hump letter" or "cross letter" and the like.

i know what a cheat clue is molly but i wondered why you said it as your clue didn't have a hump or cross letter in it.your's was normal
10:26 pm
MollyL

I meant that my clue was like a cheat clue, because it had more than the first two letters in it.
10:26 pm
lilliann

lilliann

MollyL

You have to make sure that your icon picture is resized to 350 x 350 before you upload it. Otherwise, it's GIANT.
11:04 pm
lilliann

i wouldn't know how to do that molly, as i'm crap with computors.the bairn tells me what to do but then i forget
11:05 pm
lilliann

Photographs straight from a camera are usually 1000 pixels or above and blow the profile out of proportion.
11:08 pm
lilliann

oh ok, so then you need to put it on the computor first and then upload?
11:08 pm
MollyL

Re-size a photo you want to use in an icon in Paint, or any other image editing software you have.
11:08 pm
lilliann

11:09 pm

11:11 pm
lilliann

the bairn when she is in a good mood and not anti me...mmm...that won't be very often then :P
11:12 pm
lilliann

i've written it down and aslong as no-one moves my book away from the computor i'll be fine, saying that i have books all over the place to write on and the bairn writes on them and moves them
11:13 pm
lilliann
