2:16 am
sprite
hm... let's see... 9.15 in the morning... ah what the heck, so could I
2:16 am
grannyrose
sprite, one up on that, or rather two up on that. try either maple syrup or honey on icecream...to die for!!
2:16 am
sprite
oh yummy too!
2:17 am
grannyrose
the coldness of the icecream turns the syrup/honey almost into a toffee consistency.
2:17 am
flosey
maple syrup or honey stirred into Greek yogurt is yummy
2:17 am
grannyrose
eek, flosey is awake still...lol, hello hun
2:17 am
sprite
oh yes, I lvoe that too, flosey. With some walnuts added.
2:18 am
flosey

grannyrose
and if you are my mum, who doesn't touch alcohol, drambuie on icecream. lol
2:19 am
sprite

2:19 am
sprite
lololollll
2:19 am
grannyrose
oh, yes, spritey.
2:19 am
flosey
what is Twix icecream, Sprite?
2:20 am
sprite
my husband likes to drink drambuie with ice. With his coffee. And he always orders like this: "A coffee and a drambuie with an icecube. In the drambuie, not in the coffee."
2:21 am
sprite
hm, how to explain... Twix is a candy bar here, it is a delicious cookie with caramel on top, coated in chocolat. The icecream is a similar bar, but with vanilla ice on top of the caramel and inside the chocolate. Soooo yummy.
2:22 am
flosey
that does sound very good, Sprite

Dachef
hi all - havent got any of the other 10's yet. Contrary to what someone said earlier, I am finding this grid to be a bit of a stinker.
4:01 am
rubyfoo
only one day, so far, but I am not used to the onstant noise!
4:01 am
Lizlin
I'm finding it slow going too.
4:01 am

at least it's big enough to keep us tyros entertained for a while
4:01 am
Lizlin
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
Lizlin
Does your DIL make your hubby a bit more even tempered?
4:03 am

I agree dachef

4:05 am
Lizlin
How could anyone resist hugging them
4:05 am
Lizlin
we talk and stroke to the dogs we meet when we walk!
4:05 am

Yep yep. I never too Latin, but I did take a HS class in which we learned Latin roots. Very helpful. I also aced the verbal in the SAT. On the other hand, I totally plotzed on the math portion.

Have a veggie burger. It's loaf-like.

I mean, yes, maybe he was off playing a lyre, but it's apocryphal.

You are a "sort of" vegetarian?

You should try reading the QI Book of General Ignorance.....it'll help to clear up a lot of those so-called 'facts'

I can easily eat vegan food, but every now and then....gotta have a hunk of meat!
9:32 am
hurshy
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.
9:32 am
hurshy
but also i have high cholesterol so i would have to limit in any case.
9:34 am
Jillyjill
THere is a lot of debate on the whole cholesterol issue....

k.d. lang, a vegetarian vocalist said, "We all love animals. Why do we call some 'pets' and other 'dinner?'"

I am fortunate to be able to access wild game meat, which is really low in cholesterol.
9:34 am
Jillyjill
LOL...Love that quote helen!
9:34 am
mael
because some animals are very tasty
9:34 am
hurshy
yeah, it really is puzzling to think about, hk
9:35 am
Judi
Yes. There are options for low cholesterol meat. Ostrich is a really good one. Bison another.
9:35 am
hurshy
luckily, i love seafood, and, well, fish are neither all that smart nor all that cuddly.
9:36 am
hurshy
AND they're good cholesterol wise!
9:36 am

I am fortunate to be able to source local pasture raised meat, I try to be an ethical eater in terms of suffering and ecological impact.

9:41 am

also. if the cow hadn't proved useful they'd have gone the way of the aurochs or we'd be getting pleas for their syrvuival. We just eat them too much, and have them in CAFOs.

can I please have the count for the e in the top row?
9:55 am
hurshy
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!

I took off work yesterday and today while my sister is here, so I slept til 0930.

it has to be something that we can all still walk on, you see. it's just on the landings, not the stairs themselves.
9:56 am

hurshy, my sons cats have the same problem. it's AWFUL and has caused a lot of damage to the floors in his room
9:56 am

My one bunny is now peeing and pooping AROUND her litter boxes--one set in 2 different rooms at each end of the house.

i can't, they are hooked up to plumbing

i think with marty the problem is that if the boxes are both washing and he can't wait with his kidney issue...
10:03 am

maybe i just need to not use the genies for now and go back to regular litterboxes... GROAN
10:03 am
hurshy
(can't use both because if you get regular litter in the genie you can really damage it)
10:04 am

That is what I would do, hursh. And put the litter boxes on the landing where they are going.

10:13 am

no, we've had the genies for years and they are fine with them. like i said, cinder has always had issues off and on, no matter what the type of litterbox, and for marty, it's a recent problem, with his kidney disease.
10:14 am

Hmm. Very vexing. Maybe doubling up on your litterboxes is in order. Our vet said that two boxes per cat is ideal. (Yeah right).

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.
10:17 am
hurshy
that would mean SIX boxes??? no way.
10:18 am
hurshy
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.
10:18 am
Judi
Lol. I totally understand not wanting to add litterboxes. Six litterboxes would be ridonkulous. Why not just convert the whole room to litter?
10:19 am

12:55 pm
MollyL
*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.
12:56 pm
Jillyjill
Thankfully not multitasking today...but that is rarely my reason for misreading/misclueing...
12:56 pm
MollyL
My clues are no good today anyway, even when they are for the word that is asked for.
12:57 pm
Jillyjill
You usually are so spot on...give yourself a break...
12:59 pm
MollyL
I'm also trying to be inconspicuous at work because I can tell our Big Drama Queen is revving up to burst with another one. *Sets timer*

MollyL
She hasn't been getting enough attention lately (other people have DARED to have problems) and she is as predictable as a summer thunderstorm.
1:04 pm
Jillyjill
that is why my relationship with a very good friend is tenuous....she lives from one crisis to the next. However, is NOT a drama queen tg!
1:04 pm
rubyfoo

1:05 pm
Jillyjill
I got my strawberry bed cleaned out, fertilized and mulched this morning. Now waiting for eldest son to get out and plant garden.
1:05 pm
MollyL
Some people thrive (in a negative way) on that stuff. In this case, 98% of the drama is made up.
1:05 pm
Jillyjill
LOL...we have johnny jump ups!
1:05 pm
rubyfoo
what are johhny jump ups?
1:05 pm
MollyL
Jill is lucky, she has a house boy for the summer.

1:06 pm
Jillyjill

1:06 pm
rubyfoo
when I try to weed the flower beds, both dogs lie down on the flowers

flosey
darn, didn't take, checking
1:42 pm
MollyL
Pretty flower and good advice. : )
1:43 pm
flosey
thanks Molly, but my flower didn't change, checking
1:44 pm
MollyL
Yes it did, try refreshing.
1:44 pm
periwinkle
I see a beautiful dahlia, flosey
1:45 pm
flosey
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
Riverdance
I knew what you meant. I dont have expert and sometimes it takes several refreshes when I have changed mine
1:53 pm
MollyL
I am so juvenile. I laugh every time Peri posts bs.
: D
1:54 pm
Riverdance
I know....I chuckled too!
1:55 pm
MollyL
How is your friend River, the one who had surgery?
1:55 pm
onyx
Being a parent sucks
1:56 pm
Riverdance
she is doing well, when home from the hospital yesterday. Lots of bed rest in order. and heavy duty pain meds
1:57 pm
MollyL
Glad to hear she is doing well. From what you posted, it sounds like she has a good support circle around her.
1:57 pm
Riverdance
I actually love being a parent...
1:57 pm
onyx
so did i then he turned into a teen
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
Riverdance
but that all changed when she graduated high school. Now she is back to being that delightful girl!
2:05 pm
ursh
hmmmm river - sounds like 14yr old g/daughter - will hold out for a few more years - maybe the sweetie will come back too

2:07 pm
ursh
yep boys different kind of moody - not quite as dramatic as girls
2:11 pm
onyx
mine is pretty dramatic today
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.
2:11 pm
MollyL
*as hard on them
2:12 pm
MimiCat
Mine were late bloomers....fine as teens but all went nuts in their 20's and still are.
2:13 pm
onyx

2:16 pm

I've always thought that when teen angst kicks in, parents should be given a prescription for Valium.

i wish he would get a girlfriend...

Glantarell

bichon

TraderKate

3:40 pm
TraderKate
ho 9/72 is the pl
ho 10/91 is also pl... as if the root word ended with a "y"

We just discovered that the bathroom in our room has a separate toilet button for #1 and #2
4:07 pm
MollyL
Toilet button?
4:08 pm
bichon
A button on the toilet that you use to flush. Funny plumbing here
4:09 pm
jmcnrick
i have seen those. . . they save water. . .
4:10 pm
bichon
yes, bt you have to push it forever before the "stuff" goes down
4:11 pm
jmcnrick
the toilets at the baseball stadium here have levers that are low flow up and hi flow pushed down. . .
4:11 pm
bichon
adds to the quaintness of the Cotswolds
4:11 pm
jmcnrick
not the ones that I have seen. . . you push both buttons
4:12 pm
bichon
Think I'll call it a night More tomorrow
4:12 pm
jmcnrick
i think the ones at the stadium were clearly designed by a man since i don't know any women who uses her ha** to push the lever. . . hard to push up with my toes
4:12 pm
jmcnrick

Hello just starting. Here it is 77 degrees in the great Northwest. Murphy and I went for a walk (by ourselves) and to the fish market (by myself.) Now we are cooling off and he is thinking of his din din.

Hi Gran Mere. I wish we had a fish market around here.

If you're going to baseball, couldn't you just sleep during the game?
4:38 pm
Soodle
Bye JMC. Happy napping. And Hi Grand mere. :-)
4:39 pm
MollyL
Hope she has a Nats rain jacket
4:40 pm

Is it misty back in DC?
4:41 pm
MollyL
Yes, we are in for a rainy spell.
4:41 pm
periwinkle
we are too
4:42 pm
Soodle
Dunno about DC, but we are basking in glorious sunshine here! Blank strangers are actually smiling at each other. Tis wonderful!
4:42 pm
MollyL
It's dreary here. I made chicken soup this afternoon and the house smells good.
4:43 pm
BzznBea
24 left and the critters think I have ignored their dinner time long enough...pfft.
4:43 pm
MollyL
Time to break out the Soodle Tanning Trampoline.
4:44 pm
stidgmere
We are going to have trout for dinner along with a salad and some type of inspired potatoes. Crossy will notice the lack of bacon.
4:44 pm
Soodle
The smell of burnt sausages & underdone chicken is wafting in my kitchen window! Molls is right. Its Frying Pan time! :-)
4:44 pm
MollyL
Who is abusing their grill?
4:45 pm
Soodle
Them pesky neighbours!
4:46 pm
crosshair
evening everyone;))
4:46 pm
MollyL
Gran Mere, your dinner sounds wonderful.
4:47 pm
stidgmere
Hi crossy. Shall I defrost some bacon in case you can arrive before dessert tonight?
4:47 pm
crosshair
sounds like a plan,stidmere:))
4:47 pm
Soodle
Hello ((((Crossy))))
4:48 pm
crosshair
you freeze bacon?? funny,i have never had the need as i personally have never had the stuff have time to reach it's best before date:)))
4:48 pm
crosshair
(((soodles)))
4:48 pm
stidgmere
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
crosshair
i could,but i like our wolves.i can eat the bears maybe
4:50 pm
stidgmere
Right, bear bacon.
4:51 pm
crosshair
actually,bear meat is very,very gamey.do not like it
4:55 pm
Soodle
< 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
crosshair
i also shop for a week at a timebut i leave enough wiggle room to change up a meal or 2 if need be
4:58 pm
MollyL
I shop twice a week to keep the fruit and vegetable rotation fresh.
5:01 pm
stidgmere
I love our Farmers' Market in the summer and our local fruit stand also.
5:03 pm
MollyL
Me too Gran Mere. It's so nice to have fresh tomatoes and corn again.
5:03 pm
crosshair
our farmers markets are all opening up:)))) no more fruits and veggies that have to cross borders and have been ripening on a truck for a week;))))

the thing that bugged me the most while on chemo was not the massive weight loss,not so much the throwing up all the time because i was rady for that.the problem was i love cool clear water,and chemo made water taste terrible
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!
6:06 pm
crosshair
yes.i am sure when that eases he will feel more like his old self
6:08 pm
uusue2
I finally got him set up on my insurance, so now he has a primary care doctor, and will be seeing a gastroenterologist

6:59 pm

6:59 pm
MollyL
It does sound good Liz. Next time someone asks me what I'm doing this weekend, I'm going to use that as my response. : D
6:59 pm
zoozzoom

Let me know what answer you get to that, Molly!
6:59 pm

Meaningful Errands...it sounds like a Dickens title.
: D
7:00 pm
Lizlin
Thanks zooz - should've known that!
7:00 pm
stidgmere
We could all lobby. It would make a lobby hobby and that could be fun.
7:00 pm
jmcnrick
well since i am not eating at the ball park i guess i have to go make some supper. . .
7:00 pm
jmcnrick
i would make it out more as an agatha christie title. . .
7:01 pm
Lizlin
Lobby Hobby - another good title!
7:01 pm
jmcnrick
I wonder if there is a hobby lobby. . .
7:01 pm
stidgmere
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
jmcnrick
okay i am hungry so i am off for supper bbl
7:05 pm
stidgmere
Good night jmc.
7:05 pm
Lizlin
Bon appetit
7:05 pm
jmcnrick
*faints at the thought of food without garlic*
7:05 pm
Lizlin
I taught my hubby to like garlic!!
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
MollyL
Likes ice cream...likes garlic...don't think I would like them mixed together.
7:07 pm
Lizlin
Me neither
7:08 pm
MollyL
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.
7:33 pm

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
kje
add the o in the last vowel sequence, Jee
11:20 pm

di9 made me sick to my stomach
