The 10s are all similar
4:02 am
Jivingjenny0

I'm rather glad you are finding it hard Dachef as I certainly am!
4:02 am
Dachef

mind you, its all relative: I have sat here and done a grid in minutes that some people find difficult and then struggled like a maniac at others that some finish in minutes. I guess its just the way different minds work.
4:02 am

Does your DIL make your hubby a bit more even tempered?

yes, i'm a "sort of" - if i am at someone's house and they have made something and whatever, i'm not going to cause difficulties. and if i'm at a restaurant that i know sources humane meat, i will eat that. stuff like that. also, i'm fine with fish. my primary complaint is factory farming, i'm not opposed to the eating of animals in and of itself.

the problem i have is this. one or possibly now two of my indoor cats have taken to "going" on the stairs down to the basement where their litterboxes are kept. now, they have very nice self-WASHING litterboxes, which are ALWAYS clean. cinder, she has had this problem for a long time, just cause she was taken from her mom too young. marty, it's a kidney issue. but i have tried putting down various things hoping they will not want to go on them and nothing works!

Since I am not a cat person, this is probably a dumb question, but why not keep the litter boxes upstairs? If they are older cats, maybe it's joint problems negotiating the steps.

that would mean SIX boxes??? no way.

my cats are fine with the steps. the one who has a touch of arthritis is the ONLY one who is not being troublesome about using the boxes. and why not keep them upstairs is - THE SMELL.

Lol. I totally understand not wanting to add litterboxes. Six litterboxes would be ridonkulous. Why not just convert the whole room to litter?

*Hands glasses back to Jill* It's not my vision, it's that I'm trying to do too many things at once. BFS...Busy Female Syndrome.

Thankfully not multitasking today...but that is rarely my reason for misreading/misclueing...
12:56 pm

My clues are no good today anyway, even when they are for the word that is asked for.

1:05 pm
MollyL

Jill is lucky, she has a house boy for the summer.

oh, thanks peri, I still see the iris, will go out and come in again
1:46 pm
flosey

isn't that the strangest, I still see the iris but when I check back the dahlia was there
1:47 pm
MollyL

Just a suggestion, but if you hit refresh, after you update your icon (while you are still in MY ACCOUNT) it might work better. I see the update profile Flosey.
1:48 pm
Riverdance

I see the dahlia - sometimes it takes more than one refresh for it to change
1:49 pm
flosey

thanks river, have refreshed 3 times, still the iris - will go out for a bit and try later
1:49 pm
MollyL

I think this is an Expert thing.
1:50 pm
Riverdance

I dont have expert
1:50 pm
MollyL

I meant I think Flosey may be in Expert. People who use Expert often say it takes a while for their icons to update.
1:51 pm

I knew what you meant. I dont have expert and sometimes it takes several refreshes when I have changed mine

1:58 pm
Riverdance

Thanks....her sister came down from Maine to stay with her this week. She needs to go home this Sunday. If Gail still need someone there, then I will stay with her for a week or so - I do need to work during the day but can be there to make supper etc.
1:58 pm
MollyL

Ah, those are the tough years. As in "who are you and what did you do with my delightful child?"
1:58 pm
Riverdance

I have a 16 year old - he is the easiest kid. My daughter was much harder but now that she is 20 she is great....
1:59 pm
onyx

nice for you. mine was a delightful child, that all ended at about 13
2:02 pm
Riverdance

I went through the temper tantrums with my daughter....could always tell when she was having her monthlies....screaming and slamming doors...
2:02 pm

2:11 pm
MollyL

It is an uncomfortable age. It's as hard as them to deal with the transition to adulthood as it is for us. The sudden eruption of sexuality doesn't help either.

Sometimes I think it would be handy to have a monthly menu and just fill the order like in a restaurant. It's the creative part of what to have that gets me.
4:49 pm
crosshair

they make them so small now:)
4:49 pm
stidgmere

Oh, you could just leave the bacon on the back porch and then eat the wolves that come to snatch it up.
4:49 pm
MollyL

That would work if I had unlimited funds. A lot of my meals depend on what is on sale.
4:50 pm

i could,but i like our wolves.i can eat the bears maybe
4:50 pm

Right, bear bacon.

< What Molly said. When I do my weekly shop, each days' meals are planned & shopped for. It drives me nuts to throw out unused foodstuffs. Of course, unexpected guests usually throw a spanner in the works....
4:56 pm
stidgmere

Oh. We can freeze things until we want to use them. And most of the time I'm cooking for two of us.
4:57 pm
MollyL

I make good use of my freezer. Two or three individual servings of soup will go in there later.
4:57 pm

i also shop for a week at a timebut i leave enough wiggle room to change up a meal or 2 if need be

6:04 pm
crosshair

ready
6:05 pm
uusue2

he hasn't had any changes in taste, and his appetite is good, but he can't put on any weight due to the constant runs - he is looking forward to not having that any more!

7:00 pm
jmcnrick

i would make it out more as an agatha christie title. . .
7:01 pm

Lobby Hobby - another good title!
7:01 pm
jmcnrick

I wonder if there is a hobby lobby. . .
7:01 pm

My potatoes are roasted with herbs tonight. I was thinking about imaginative potatoes and ruled out Mr. Potato Heads but maybe later this summer.
7:01 pm
Lizlin

Sounds yummy - what herbs did you use?
7:01 pm
jmcnrick

i was happy to he** that Mr. Potato He** gave up smoking
7:02 pm
MollyL

Herb potatoes sounds good Gran Mere, but I will show up for Mr. Potato He4 dinner for sure.
7:02 pm
jmcnrick

what is a mr. potato he** dinner?
7:02 pm
stidgmere

Yes lizlin. We can come up with great titles but its the rest of the book that is work. I used Italian herbs such as sage, thyme, onion, and parsley.
7:02 pm
jmcnrick

sounds canabalistic
7:03 pm
Lizlin

True but that's what ghost writers are for! I love those herbs - add a good amount of garlic - heaven!
7:03 pm
stidgmere

My goodness. We can work on the attachments for the Potato He** on our moments during lobbying that involve waiting.
7:04 pm
jmcnrick

hmmmm i wonder what the staff will think as we sit in the entry working on mr. potato he**
7:04 pm
MollyL

*Puts the pipe back in the Mr. Potato He4 kit...for medicinal purposes*
7:05 pm
stidgmere

I would add garlic but my husband does not care for garlic. I should have added the garlic question to my prenuptual survey. Now it is part of the "for worse" part of the contract.
7:05 pm

7:06 pm
Lizlin

And avocado and olives
7:06 pm
stidgmere

All for me, too. I have over half and nbt so that is good. Best wishes to all. I shall make garlic ice cream one of these days.
7:06 pm
MollyL

You could always add a little garlic to just your serving.
7:06 pm
stidgmere

No, he doesn't like the smell of garlic on my breath.
7:06 pm
Lizlin

Bon appetit to you too, stidg
7:06 pm
stidgmere

absolutely, good night. poof and all that.
7:07 pm

My girlfriends and I were kibbitzing about how EVERYTHING has cilantro in it all of a sudden. One of them said "there is a time and a place for cilantro and bean salad is not one of them." : D
7:10 pm
Lizlin

I love that too - call it coriander here. Have put it in a salad which contains chickpeas though - Barefoot Contessa recipe
7:11 pm
Lizlin

30 left for later. Time to get challah in the oven :)
7:12 pm
MollyL

Wait, I'm confused. Cilantro is cilantro and coriander is coriander. : O
7:13 pm
Lizlin

I'd never heard of cilantro until I watched a US cooking show. Googled it and it came up with coriander!
7:13 pm
Lizlin

Just did it again - said coriander, also known as cilantro!
7:14 pm
Lizlin

Wikipedia -Coriander
Coriander, also known as cilantro, Chinese parsley or dhania, is an annual herb in the family Apiaceae. Coriander is native to regions spanning from southern Europe and North Africa to southwestern Asia.
7:14 pm
Lizlin

Coriander seed though is different.
7:15 pm
Lizlin

But from the same plant.
7:15 pm
Lizlin

OK - got to go! Bread calling!
7:16 pm
MollyL

Yeah, I'm thinking of coriander seed. Never heard cilantro called anything but cilantro.
7:17 pm
MollyL

Dhania will be in a grid someday.

LOL aloyisius! I discovered almost by accident a couple weeks ago that a particular gut issue I have is soothed immensely by a couple tablespoons of red wine (we had merlot). Usually I really detest the stuff, but when I was in pain, it actually tasted good. weird how sometimes our bodies know that something will help.
11:20 pm

add the o in the last vowel sequence, Jee
