There is some flooding throughout the province. Camrose is close to Edmonton and I heard of problems there. Red Deer was put on alert. Calgary is where the army has been sent to help out. Saw them on the road today.

Morning, everyone! Hey, I'm finally getting the hang of how to get more words. Let the monkeys enter everything and anything and, lo and behold, they are actually words!
7:35 am
Scrabbler

Hi Mimi. Yes, type in all combos of letters.
7:36 am

i was always "embarrassed" to have all the non-words from monkeying then realized that only i could see it - now keep monkeying all the time
7:36 am
MimiCat

Hey, Scrab and teach...in case you didn't see it earlier, I finally got a job! Doing radiology transcription at home, which is what I've done for most of the past 30 years.
7:36 am
Scrabbler

Yay! Working from home is great, and a paycheck is even better!
7:37 am
wvteach

glad you got the job and that it is something that you like to do
7:37 am
MimiCat

Doing that part-time along with my retirement income (first check comes next month) will finally give me much needed finances. It has been a long, stressful time.
7:38 am
wvteach

neat to be able to work from home - saves all inds of costs and hassle
7:38 am
wvteach

i'm sure that was stressful for you
7:39 am
MimiCat

Actually, teach, I don't really like transcribing but I am very good at it and it pays well. The only problem is that the main dr. I'll be transcribing is the worst I've ever heard in 30 years! The owner of the service actually asked me to listen to this dr. first before agreeing to take the job....she warned me. But I don't have much choice and will simply look at it as a challenge!
7:40 am

7:40 am
MimiCat

It's especially good to work at home for me since I have no car and must take public transportation. That is extremely difficult this time of year in Phoenix. Walking to the bus stop in this heat and waiting for it are just too much, especially after my heart attack last year. I'm totally drenched after 5 minutes in 106 degree heat.
7:40 am
Jivingjenny0

sorry
7:40 am
Scrabbler

That doc should know to speak clearly so that the proper words are typed. That is so crucial medicolegally.
7:40 am

No 7's or 8 for me yet

7:42 am
MimiCat

You would think so, Scrab. This group of doctors has already gone through 3 other services. Those services simply said they didn't want the business because this woman isn't worth it. They've tried talking to her but I guess to no avail. Makes no sense to me. I think the service I'm going to work for should charge them double to do her.
7:43 am
Scrabbler

But that doc must have to do corrections which are time-consuming, thus she should learn to speak clearly and slowly
7:43 am
BzznBea

TY, pablo.
7:43 am

hi kids! does she have an accent? does she have a speech impediment? or just mumbles and needs to take allocution lessons?

7:44 am
MimiCat

She dictates so fast she's like an alien doctor! Apparently, she converses that way, too. No, dawg, she's American with no accent I can discern yet...just talks like a chipmunk!
7:45 am
BzznBea

<-------- Will wear the tiara proudly
7:46 am
lbdawger

perhaps a note attached to her transcriptions...Dear Cindy Chipmunk, Please speak slower, and clearly, your transcriptions are a bear to listen to.
7:46 am
MimiCat

If I could work directly with her I could talk to her and probably get her to modify her style. But I won't be able to speak with her at all...just the owner of the service can do that. I much prefer working side-by-side with the doctors but gotta take what I can get these days.
7:46 am
Scrabbler

Yay, dawg, good note.
7:47 am
MimiCat

It's just another one of those things in life that makes no sense....as I get older, I'm finding many of those. If only Babblers ruled the world!
7:48 am

One of the worst things for me to endure in life is being confused. Anyone else hate that as much as I do?

11:46 am
MollyL

I saw a mosaic garden bench the other day and thought of you. : )
11:46 am
rubyfoo

What colors was it and id it have a theme?
11:48 am
MollyL

Blues and earth tones. It had a sundial on it.
11:48 am
rubyfoo

Nice
11:49 am
rubyfoo

I would love to have a sundial in the middle of the flower bed, especially since I don't wear a watch
11:50 am
lilliann

sounds lovely molly and hi to you and ruby:)
11:50 am
MollyL

I think sundials look pretty in a garden.
11:50 am
MollyL

Hi L
11:50 am
rubyfoo

Hello Lilliann
11:50 am
lilliann

i have 2 female peacocks sitting on my shed roof at the moment :D
11:51 am
lilliann

they must have come from the local farm as i know they have peococks there
11:51 am
rubyfoo

how lovely (and I get ecited when I see tiny birds....)
11:51 am
rubyfoo

excited*
11:52 am
lilliann

i got a shock when i looked out of the kitchen window ruby because i didn't have a clue what they were to start with has all i can see is their back end until they move their heads
11:53 am
MollyL

What a nice surprise, L
11:53 am
rubyfoo

they had peacocks where we loved before as it was an island and they could go free. My first dog used to chase them onto the roofs.
11:53 am
rubyfoo

Freudian slip?
11:53 am
lilliann

i've taken some pictures on my phone to show the bairn tomorrow.i keep looking out to see if they're still there
11:53 am
rururocks

*until she has to clean the crap off the roof*
11:53 am
lilliann

it was molly
11:54 am
rubyfoo

some résidents actually complained, if you can imagine, because of the squawking
11:54 am
rururocks

peacocks are messy birds
11:54 am
lilliann

i won't be cleaning any crap off as i can't get into my back garden, that'll the bairn's job:D
11:55 am
rubyfoo

but beautiful
11:55 am
lilliann

that's a shame ruby.saying that we can sometimes hear them when they are on the farm so it must be noisy for the people who live next to the farm
11:56 am
lilliann

the males are beautiful but the females are boring brown but pretty coloured heads
11:56 am
rubyfoo

my husband feeds many birds and most of them just squawk and chirp, only the merles, the drabbest of them a, have lovely voices
11:57 am
rubyfoo

I used to like the adolescent one, iridescent blues and greens but no showy tailss
11:57 am
rubyfoo

ones*
11:57 am
lilliann

i've just looked and they have gone into a neighbour's garden and luckily no crap ru
11:57 am
MollyL

I feed the birds too. I get chickadees, cardinals and an occasional blue jay.
11:57 am
Judi

Howdy, neighbors!
11:58 am
MollyL

Hi Judi
11:58 am
lilliann

we have loads of collared doves and they coo at 4am, normally outside my bedroom window as they like to sit on the sky dish
11:58 am
lilliann

hi judi
11:58 am
rururocks

I like humming birds
11:59 am
MollyL

Oh, L reminded me of the mourning doves. Man, they are dumb birds.
11:59 am
lilliann

i feed the birds too and always make sure there are plenty of fat balls for them in the winter
11:59 am
Judi

Our cat likes to eat the birds. *sigh*
11:59 am
rubyfoo

the birds are all different from American ones here, except for the sparrows. We have red tails, red throats, 3 kinds of mesonges, merles, verdier (a sort of chartreuse finch) and the occasional fany bird like hawks, red-throated pigeons, woodpeckers and somethings called a Geai which is multi-colored and about the size of a chicken
12:00 pm
rubyfoo

fany*
12:00 pm
rururocks

good thing Mourning doves don't play babble :D
12:00 pm
MollyL

I have woodpeckers in the woods out back. I never see them though, just hear them.
12:00 pm
lilliann

mine likes to chase them judi and occasionally gets one or two. we have blue tits nesting in a bird box and it's lovely seeing them take food in and out for their chicks.i hope our cat doesn't get them when they start to fledge
12:00 pm
rubyfoo

we tried putting up suet balls on a metal thingie, but I watched two crows carry the whole thing away
12:01 pm
MollyL

Are you sure about that Ru? : D
12:01 pm
rubyfoo

I can hear a cuckoo and an owl at night, but never see them
12:01 pm
Judi

Our cat has easy pickins. Our neighbors have a birdfeeder that is fairly close to the ground. The cat hides in a nearby shady wood pile, then pounces at will.
12:02 pm
lilliann

i put mine in my hedge so the little birds can get them as we have horrible rook type birds and they are huge and nick any food you put out, we also have alot of magpies
12:02 pm
rururocks

bird sushi
12:02 pm
lilliann

it's a shame you don't get to see the woodpeckers molly
12:03 pm
rubyfoo

although I've seen magpies around here and in neighboring villages, we've never had one in our garden
12:03 pm
rururocks

magpies are smart birds
12:03 pm
Judi

We have lots of warblers this time of year. The songs are just amazing. Here's a cool website for you birders: www.birdjam.com.
12:03 pm
rubyfoo

our hedges and shrubs are full of nests
12:03 pm
lilliann

we have black birds, sparrows and starlings nesting in our 2 fir trees judi and our cat sits underneath them
12:03 pm
lilliann

magpies are thieves and killers
12:04 pm
rubyfoo

I knew about the st***ing but not about killing
12:04 pm
rubyfoo

are your blackbirds all black or do they have colorful shoulders?
12:04 pm
lilliann

they eat other birds eggs
12:04 pm
rubyfoo

no warblers here
12:05 pm
rururocks

they get red shoulders during breeding time here
12:05 pm
rubyfoo

I didn't know that
12:05 pm
rubyfoo

12:05 pm
rururocks

it's no yolk ruby
12:05 pm
lilliann

the males are black and the females are all brown.i've never noticed any other colour on the male ones ruby
12:06 pm
rubyfoo

the yolk's on me
12:06 pm
lilliann

ty for the st word ruby:)
12:06 pm
lilliann

ty judi, have written it down and look later
12:06 pm
rubyfoo

so they're like our merles. American blackbirds have colorful shoulders
12:06 pm
MollyL

I found a dead bird on my patio once. I suspect the mangy cat who roams the neighborhood.
12:07 pm
rururocks

it could have been Alfred Hitchcock Molly...
12:08 pm
rubyfoo

we find dead and stunned birds, usually the green ones, who crash into the window. Yesterday, I rescued one from the living room but had to grab it by the foot because Rufie was after it
12:08 pm
MollyL

: O I never thought of that.
12:08 pm
lilliann

our black birds don't sit still long enough to have a good look at their colouring
12:08 pm
rururocks

*note to self.. don't call Molly "Tippy" ever
12:09 pm
rubyfoo

I keep a bird guide by the window near the feeder
12:09 pm
Judi

Birjam is fun, lilliann. You can download their apps and make ringtones out of bird songs. Also lots of pics and info about birds on the site.
12:09 pm
lilliann

we also have birds nesting in the eaves and sometimes we find a dead chick on the patio because they've fallen out of the nest:(
12:09 pm
rubyfoo

there is a nasty Fr word in here, salo4
12:09 pm
rururocks

what does it mean ruby
12:10 pm
lilliann

i might have to download some ring tones for my father in law as he loves birds and he's like you ruby, he has a bird book near his kitchen window, he also like to drive to picnic areas around here and bird watch with his binoculars(the winged variety ru) :D
12:11 pm
rubyfoo

it's similar to the c word, but a little less nasty
12:11 pm
lilliann

atleast you rescued it ruby, what is the green bird?
12:12 pm
rubyfoo

it looks like a finch, charteuse with a pale violet beak but I couldn't find a green finch in google
12:13 pm
rubyfoo

it is a verdier
12:13 pm
rubyfoo

the only big bird I've rescued was the hawk that flew into the living room
12:13 pm
MollyL

I thought that word meant bitch
12:13 pm
Judi

S'okay, Molly. If the birds start to attack, just head for the nearest phone booth. ... Oh wait...
12:13 pm
rubyfoo

oh and the woodpecker that got stuck in the garage
12:14 pm
rubyfoo

I think it's a little stronger than that, but maybe not. I don't know anybody who uses it, though
12:14 pm
MollyL

Eh, my French is not that great. I thought fils de salope meant son of a bitch.
12:15 pm
rubyfoo

hahah, never heard that expression
12:15 pm
lilliann

that reminds me ruby, i must phone my parents,i don't know why a swear word would remind me, i think it's the french thing :)
12:15 pm
MollyL

<---Will go to the PB for using French swear word
12:15 pm
rubyfoo

My lady friends must be very refined.
12:16 pm
rubyfoo

it sounds like lilliann is another bad girl!
12:16 pm
lilliann

i only know 2 swear words in french:)
12:17 pm
rubyfoo

there are some funny and colorful local expressions, however, like "drinks like a pig" which generally comes with a slurping imitation
12:17 pm
rubyfoo

what's the oter one, LA?
12:17 pm
lilliann

i'm not repeating them in here as i'm too much a lady:D
12:17 pm
rururocks

*says three "hail Marys"*
12:18 pm
rubyfoo

just the first letter, like giving the stats
12:18 pm
lilliann

that's not really swearing molly, so we'll let you off :)
12:19 pm
lilliann

me is one and en is a two worded one ruby
12:19 pm
Judi

Go ahead, lilliann. It's okay if it's only for educational purposes.
12:19 pm
rubyfoo

If I have to swear at somebody here, I do it in English
12:19 pm
lilliann

well it's 2 words in english the en one
12:19 pm
rubyfoo

They use me in subtitles, substituting it for much worse words
12:20 pm
rubyfoo

sort of an all-purpose bad word
12:20 pm
lilliann

merde is one and encoulez is the other.encoulez is not nice though(FO in english)
12:20 pm
rubyfoo

hmmm, running through all my en words
12:21 pm
rubyfoo

ty, LA, I will add that to my lexicon
12:21 pm
rubyfoo

the one I like best is espece de cochon
12:22 pm
lilliann

i know the pig bit but not the start ruby
12:22 pm
rubyfoo

and, early on, when I was Young and cute and would get followed, I learned to say "Fiche-moi le camp" (at least it sounds ike that or "fiche moi le paix"
12:22 pm
rubyfoo

it's just "type of"
12:23 pm
Judi

Translations, please?
12:23 pm
lilliann

phone to parents:)
12:23 pm
rubyfoo

they're like FO but startling to hear, evidently, as they always worked. Basically "Get lost\'
12:24 pm
rubyfoo

12:25 pm
rururocks

1:26 pm
hego

yup
1:26 pm
hurshy

and i'm checking out and the cashier says, "can i have your email address?" and i'm like, "um... no?"
1:26 pm
hego

done that too
1:27 pm
hurshy

i mean i got in my car, used my gasoline, came to your store, walked around to find the things i wanted, like, the one thing i don't have to do is give you my email address. that is the beauty of the Store.
1:27 pm
hego

right
1:28 pm
hurshy

chutzpah even to ask
1:28 pm
hego

I think they have to.
1:28 pm
hego

I just refuse.
1:28 pm
hurshy

i know, i mean the store, not the person.
1:28 pm
invictus

Yeah, it isn't the cashier's fault. She was just doing her job.
1:28 pm
hego

agree
1:29 pm
invictus

And generally it is a benefit to the customer. i.e. emailed coupons, etc
1:29 pm
hego

I always say no, tho.
1:30 pm
invictus

And the cashier's ability to retain her job may be based, in part, on how many email addresses she collects from customers.
1:30 pm
72 Temple Owl

MollyL

Wheelchair line dancing...I can see it. Swivel right, swivel left, spin around, clap. Up two, back two, shake your head, clap.
3:43 pm
lilliann

4:14 pm
rururocks

*thinking my chowder is better*
4:23 pm
lilliann

4:23 pm
MollyL

4:24 pm
lilliann

i only like certain seafood pen , so i'm preferring mine :)
4:24 pm
MollyL

4:24 pm
pippingeek

4:24 pm
lilliann

beans in the oven moll;y?
4:24 pm
lilliann

4:25 pm
MollyL

Pip is here. Time to break out the tequila.
4:25 pm
MollyL

Yes L. Generally you "bake" baked beans in the oven.
: D
4:26 pm
lilliann

ooohhh, lovely,he can be a sommelier at my house too as long as i don't have to pay for the wine :D
4:26 pm
pippingeek

actually i might go with wine.
4:27 pm
lilliann

i take them out of a tin and out them in a bowl and microwave them molly, sometimes re-heat them in a pan
4:27 pm
pippingeek

tho the doctor did give me a bottle of ouzo this week. but i'm a little scared of it
4:27 pm
pippingeek

hi lilli and milly
4:27 pm
pippingeek

ack, i mean molly
4:27 pm
MollyL

You should be scared of it.
4:27 pm
pippingeek

(the i and the o are right next to one another, you know)
4:28 pm
lilliann

lol pip, i'm loving milly :D
4:29 pm
lilliann

we could have a programme molly, the 2 that disagree lilly and milly :)
4:30 pm
lilliann

why would your doctor give you ouzo pip?i can understand tablets but alcohol and a very strong one at that
4:30 pm
pippingeek

i am starving, and i have salad in the fridge, but just want to eat potato chips
4:31 pm
pippingeek

hah, lilli, i mean the doctor i assist at work. a patient gave him 2 bottles, he gave me one
4:32 pm
lilliann

oh,lol, well a glass or 2 will definitely get you dancing and doing the hip hop :)
4:32 pm
pippingeek

i may be young, but i'm far more likely to do the lindy hop than the hip hop
4:33 pm
lilliann

lol, i was going to say it'll help you get up a mountain quicker
4:33 pm
MollyL

That stuff will have you dancing naked in the street.
4:34 pm
pippingeek

well, it would for sure help me get DOWN a mountain quicker. (but probably not safer)
4:34 pm
lilliann

by the way molly, i disagree as you're one of the few babblers i actually get on with :)
4:36 pm
lilliann

i meant as in what i wrote at 4.29 molly
4:37 pm
lilliann

naked rock climbing...painful :0
4:37 pm
lilliann

naked rock climbing...painful :
4:37 pm
pippingeek

ouch!
4:38 pm
MollyL

L, what I put in the oven is not canned baked beans. I made them from scratch.
4:39 pm
lilliann

definitely 'ouch' pip! how is your job going?
4:39 pm
lilliann

so how do you make them and what type of bean do you use molly? cannelini?
4:40 pm
lilliann

i just always buy the low sugar ones from a shop but i do like to buy the mixed beans in a tin in water and then i mix them with garlic, onion and chopped fresh tomatoes, like a salsa
4:41 pm
lilliann

and a tiny bit of chilli flakes
4:41 pm
pippingeek

job is going well, lilli. they did assign me to the super-jerky doctor, but he likes me
4:41 pm
lilliann

super jerky?
4:41 pm
MollyL

I use navy beans. You soak them overnight, then cook them on the stove for a while. Then bake them in a brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion and bacon sauce.
4:42 pm
pippingeek

he yells all the time, it seems his greatest pleasure is to be outraged, and woe until they who make mistakes
4:42 pm
lilliann

i've never heard of navy beans or bacon sauce
4:42 pm
pippingeek

unto, that is
4:43 pm
MollyL

Not bacon sauce. All that stuff are the ingredients for the sauce I bake them in.
4:43 pm
lilliann

well, i'm ghlad he likes you pip.
4:44 pm
lilliann

oh ok, but i still don't know what navy beans are. will need to google
4:45 pm
MollyL

They are white beans, smaller than cannelini.
4:45 pm
lilliann

haricot beans which is what we use as baked beans
4:47 pm
lilliann

that's what i buy a can of, as in haricot, cannelini and another bean, which i forget and mix with what i said at 4.40 but i have that cold with a salad
4:48 pm
lilliann

i've never made proper baked beans, probably better as alot less salt and sugar than in the cans and probably more flavoursome molly
4:48 pm
lilliann

i'll have to write down your recipe
4:50 pm
pippingeek

mmm, potato chips
4:51 pm
lilliann

aye eat the chips as you can have salad tomorrow :)
4:53 pm
lilliann

or crisps even.what flavour are they pip?
4:54 pm
pippingeek

just finished 2 small half-eaten b ags. one was salt and vinegar, the other onion and garlic
4:55 pm
penquis

i wish chips were full of vitamins... ;o)
4:55 pm
lilliann

we don't get onion and garlic here, i would love them.i like prawn cocktail, cheese and onion and beef flavoured crisps
4:55 pm
lilliann

well, potatoes do have some :)
4:56 pm
penquis

prawn cocktail chips or crisps/fries?
4:56 pm
lilliann

crisps here
4:56 pm
lilliann

chips are cooked potatoes
4:56 pm
penquis

are chips crisps?....or are fries crisps?
4:57 pm
lilliann

fried even and from the chippy are the best
4:57 pm
lilliann

no pen
4:57 pm
lilliann

your chips are our crisps
4:57 pm
penquis

well....either they are chips or fries, right?
4:57 pm
penquis

ah...ok....
4:57 pm
penquis

what do you call fries?....
4:57 pm
lilliann

your fries are our chips but normally our chips aren't thin they are chunky
4:58 pm
penquis

chips are fries.....crisps are chips....got it
4:59 pm
penquis

ours can be all sizes really.....steak fries are larger fries, for example....but we also have shoestring fries and curly fries....
5:00 pm
lilliann

we only get thin chips/fries from macdonalds and kfc etc but from our chippies, which we call our fish and chip shops we get lovely chunky chips, none of them look the same or are the same size, and then we have loads of salt and vinegar on them.especially loads of malt vinegar
5:00 pm
penquis

sounds yummy...
5:00 pm
pippingeek

mmm, vinegar. i like them with curry sauce
5:00 pm
lilliann

if we go to our food shops then we can buy loads of different types in the freezer section
5:01 pm
penquis

i like them with all sorts of stuff....like seasoned mayo
5:02 pm
lilliann

we also get them with curry, cheese sauce or mush peas pen
5:02 pm
MollyL

I can't eat vinegar chips. They smell like dirty socks.
5:02 pm
penquis

in canada, they have "poutine" ....it's fries served with gravy and melted cheese...
5:03 pm
MollyL

Cheese curds...blech
5:03 pm
lilliann

lol, molly, i've never thought of vinegar has smelling like dirty socks and i have to smell the bairn's socks and they definitely don't smell like vinegar...if only!!:)
5:03 pm
penquis

i like "crottes"...(turds)....but it's an acquired taste...
5:04 pm
lilliann

we do have chips with gravy too, but i don't like that. i just like salt and vinegar on mine
5:04 pm
pippingeek

turds? that doesn't sound delicious at all
5:04 pm
penquis

sometimes i just like a little salt....
5:04 pm
lilliann

turds pip?? really???
5:05 pm
penquis

cheese pieces that are irregularly shaped....
5:05 pm
lilliann

what is turds apart from what i know that it is here
5:05 pm
penquis

you have to chew them well to get the flavor....and they tend to be a little rubbery....
5:06 pm
penquis

lillian....your answer appears below your question.. ;o)
5:06 pm
lilliann

omg, stop it pen...lmao, here turds mean poo :)
5:06 pm
penquis

well it means that here, too, lol......but the French Canadians call that type of cheese "crottes" (means turds)....
5:07 pm
pippingeek

i thought that was curds
5:07 pm
lilliann

oh god really? they need to change the word
5:07 pm
lilliann

curds is what cheese is made from or how it turns into after the milk is added
5:08 pm
lilliann

as it curdles
5:08 pm
pippingeek

but the curds are also the chunks of cheese after they drain off the whey
5:08 pm
penquis

yes...i don't know much about how cheese is made...but crottes are little irregularly shaped pieces of cheese, pale yellow in color....
5:08 pm
pippingeek

like cottage cheese comes in small curd or large curd varieties
5:09 pm
lilliann

it's a good thing ru's not here as he'd have a field day, but saying that, he's missing all the good chat :D
5:09 pm
lilliann

i like cottage cheese
5:09 pm
penquis

heh heh....
5:09 pm
MollyL

I'll take chili fries over poutine any day.
5:10 pm
pippingeek

i find poutine a bit much
5:10 pm
pippingeek

but then i feel the same about chili fries
5:11 pm
lilliann

so what is poutine?
5:11 pm
pippingeek

i mainly just eat all the bits of cheese out of it
5:11 pm
penquis

i don't care for poutine myself, though i like the crottes....
5:11 pm
MollyL

We get chili fries as an appetizer when we go out and share them.
5:11 pm
pippingeek

fries w gravy and cheese curds
5:11 pm
penquis

poutine is fries with gravy and melted cheese
5:12 pm
lilliann

sorry, i read it in the chat earlier, i don't know about gravy and melted cheese?
5:13 pm
lilliann

in fact neither of them float my boat!
5:13 pm
pippingeek

it's not a hard cheese, more soft, like bigger chunks of soft cotrtage cheese
5:13 pm
lilliann

so is that just fries with dried chilli over molly?
5:14 pm
lilliann

when we have cheese on our chips it would be like cheddar which is melted
5:14 pm
MollyL

No, fries with chili, like Texas chili, and cheese
5:14 pm
pippingeek

chili fries are fries covered in chili (you know the stew-like food with meat and/or beans) and usually cheese melted on top too
5:15 pm
lilliann

it wouldn't be cottage cheese as we have that in a sandwich.i didn't think you could melt cottage cheese
5:15 pm
penquis

in contrast, crottes are fairly hard....
5:15 pm
lilliann

we don't have chilli on our fries here
5:16 pm
penquis

we don't have that much around here either
5:16 pm
MollyL

From what I have read here, people in the UK and Canada are not big on Mexican food
5:16 pm
lilliann

i'll have to google texas chilli, is that like mincemeat with cheese?
5:16 pm
pippingeek

huh. that is a shame
5:16 pm
MollyL

*Just fainted at the thought of mincemeat and cheese*
5:17 pm
lilliann

no, we're not molly. we do have mexican restaurants
5:17 pm
penquis

lol...
5:17 pm
pippingeek

it's tomato-based sort of mince-meat (but it may only have beans and no meat depending on who makes it) and flavored with lots of chili powder
5:17 pm
jmcnrick

no it if you take stew meat and cut into eights. . .
5:17 pm
penquis

same here, lillian...we have mexican restaurants but not much chili fries...
5:17 pm
lilliann

i meant savoury mince not sweet mince used in tarts at christmas
5:17 pm
pippingeek

my dad's has beans and several kinds of meat, and we eat it over rice with cheese and sometimes sour cream
5:18 pm
jmcnrick

brown it with onion and garlic and then slow cook it with a cup of chili powder and some tomato paste and a little water. . . .
5:18 pm
jmcnrick

*faints at the thought of beans in chili*
5:18 pm
pippingeek

and some people use proper slices or chunks of meat in theirs, every region and/or family has their own style
5:19 pm
MollyL

Right picky you are. No sugar in cornbread, no beans in chili...
5:19 pm
lilliann

so many recipes.ty jmc,the problem is that the bairnm and i don't like too much chilli but we will eat a little
5:19 pm
jmcnrick

well i have standards. . . .
5:19 pm
pippingeek

speaking of which, tomorrow i will bike to coney island and go for a run on the beach, then get a coney island hot dog (which means with chili and cheese) before i bike home. yay!
5:19 pm
jmcnrick

sounds tasty pippin
5:20 pm
MollyL

Oh really Pip. I guess you can afford the calories in a Coney Island dog with all that biking and running.
5:21 pm
pippingeek

eh, it's one dog. i only live 5 miles away so it's a short bike ride, but a beach run is a lot of work, it'll be worth it.
5:21 pm
jmcnrick

goodness this talk of chili has made me hungry!
5:21 pm
lilliann

jmc, it's basically how i would make spag bol but without chilli, but i will add some next time.
5:21 pm
MollyL

5 miles...a short bike ride...ahahahahahaha!
5:22 pm
lilliann

i thought chilli always had beans in?
5:22 pm
MollyL

JMC has high falutin' Texas standards
5:22 pm
jmcnrick

not in true texas chili! that is an anathema!
5:23 pm
pippingeek

it's 30 minutes and all flat. i guess i bike a lot. i used to go that far to work every day up a giant hill
5:23 pm
jmcnrick

well i am impressed pippin!
5:23 pm
MollyL

The only time I make chili without beans is when it's to go in dip or on hot dogs.
5:23 pm
jmcnrick

of course i nearly died the time i walked (fairly slowly) six miles
5:23 pm
pippingeek

beans on hot dogs = giant mess
5:24 pm
jmcnrick

well you probably use ground meat. . .
5:24 pm
jmcnrick

which is the wrong place to start anyway
5:24 pm
pippingeek

jmc, that's because you're so sweet that if you get wet even from sweat, you start to melt!
5:24 pm
MollyL

*Laughs at the thought of chili dog chili with chunks of meat in it*
5:24 pm
lilliann

well, i've been to mexico and i must admit, i liked their food but didn't have anything too chillified :)
5:24 pm
jmcnrick

hahahahahahahahahahahahha!
5:24 pm
pippingeek

i like ground meat in chili, but then my dad's chili is a thing of beauty
5:25 pm
lilliann

ground meat is our mince
5:25 pm
jmcnrick

i cut my meat myself for my chili. . . .
5:25 pm
jmcnrick

yes lill
5:25 pm
jmcnrick

about 1/2 inch cubes
5:25 pm
MollyL

Chili is such a personal thing. I ate a neighbor's chili once and almost gagged because it had big chunks of green pepper in it.
5:26 pm
lilliann

i know jmc, that is what i was saying :)
5:26 pm
MollyL

So what do you eat on a bun, L. Mince burgers?
5:26 pm
lilliann

if we have chunks of meat it's called a stew or casseerole
5:26 pm
jmcnrick

weird molls
5:26 pm
pippingeek

ew! i know a lot of people do that, esp for vegetarian chili (hahahaha, oxymoron?) but i am not a fan
5:27 pm
72 Temple Owl

helllo all.
5:27 pm
jmcnrick

i am not a fan of vegetarian chili. . .
5:27 pm
jmcnrick

hi TO
5:28 pm
pippingeek

hey TO
5:28 pm
lilliann

beef burgers, turkey,lamb,chicken but it is all minced down. i make my own burgers, with lean mince pork and add chopped onion, mushroom, garlic, mixed herbs, pepper and chopped sweet(bell) redd or whatever other peppers i have in
5:28 pm
jmcnrick

call it spicy stew veggie stew. . . .
5:29 pm
lilliann

hi TO :)
5:29 pm
MollyL

What y'all refer to as "mince" we call "ground". As in ground beef, ground turkey, etc.
5:30 pm
MollyL

Here, mincemeat only goes in pies at Christmas.
5:30 pm
pippingeek

and here mincemeat has nothing to do with meat either
5:30 pm
lilliann

we have savoury mince and sweet mince
5:31 pm
pippingeek

but it's good in cookies
5:31 pm
jmcnrick

the original mincemeat that the mincemeat we know was based on minced meat.. . .
5:31 pm
jmcnrick

that is what my mother said. .. . but who knows
5:31 pm
lilliann

see our mince meat is minced, so like your ground
5:31 pm
pippingeek

mince is a funny word
5:32 pm
lilliann

the mince meat we know is sweet and then savoury mince is known as mince
5:32 pm
jmcnrick

stats for the corner o please
5:32 pm
pippingeek

see, we do our ground meat in a meat grinder, so how do you make your mince meat?
5:32 pm
MollyL

Have some ouzo Pip. It will get funnier.
5:32 pm
lilliann

we do the same pip
5:32 pm
lilliann

but i don't as i buy it already minced from the supermarket
5:33 pm

5:38 pm
MollyL

5:38 pm
MollyL

See! Dry fried???
5:38 pm
jmcnrick

5:40 pm
MollyL

*Imagines a dried up egg white with a runny yolk in the middle*
5:40 pm
lilliann

5:41 pm
jmcnrick

5:41 pm
lilliann

it definitely isn't molly, i put my egg in a pan and then i will cover it with a pan lid to cook the white and then the yolk is still gooey
5:41 pm
jmcnrick

another 10 minutes before i wander off to the garden. . .
5:42 pm
MollyL

No eggs cooked in oil in my house, only butter.
5:42 pm

5:43 pm
lilliann

that's it, jmc sunny side up and then all the other terms, i get confused when i go to the carribeanand mexico as they don't know what we're talking about. all i want is a fried egg with a runny middle :) that's not too much to ask?
5:43 pm
jmcnrick

repeat after me: sunny side up
5:44 pm
MollyL

How do you like your eggs? Looking at me.
5:45 pm
lilliann

why do i have to say sunny side up? :)
5:45 pm
jmcnrick

my favorite is blind-folded . . .but few cooks know how to do them anymore. . .
5:45 pm
lilliann

so what are they when you turn them over, which is what my hubby and bairn like
5:45 pm
lilliann

over easy?
5:46 pm
MollyL

Go ahead and order a dried egg in the Caribbean L and see what you get.
5:46 pm
pippingeek

yes, over easy, or over hard if no longer runny
5:46 pm
MollyL

Yes, over easy. As in turn them over, but don't cook the yolk hard.
5:46 pm
lilliann

i like my eggs in the carribean as they are on a flat type griddle pan but not too much oil
5:47 pm
jmcnrick

i would like anything in the carribean. . .
5:47 pm
lilliann

very confusing to me, we just say flip them over
5:48 pm
MollyL

A blind folded egg is now called shirred.
5:48 pm
lilliann

i like how our countries speak the same language!! :D
5:48 pm
MollyL

Wait, no, basted.
5:48 pm
jmcnrick

oh ty moll. . . .

lilliann

5:50 pm
MollyL

Basted is the same, whether you use bacon fat or butter.
5:50 pm
jmcnrick

blindfolded is a sunnyside up where you put a little water on the grill and then a lid over the water and the egg. . . kinda looks like a cataract . . .
5:50 pm
lilliann

hi gypsy
5:51 pm
sammysmom

THANKS... you know i can't see the tree for the forest
5:51 pm
pippingeek

5:52 pm
lilliann

5:52 pm
jmcnrick

the ramekin is what i would call shirred. . .
5:52 pm
pippingeek

5:53 pm
jmcnrick

yes the vinegar helps stay together. . .
5:53 pm
lilliann

5:53 pm
pippingeek

5:54 pm
72 Temple Owl

5:56 pm
72 Temple Owl

5:59 pm
lilliann

6:00 pm
MollyL

Well L, we like diversity here. Beef and yorkshire at every meal gets boring. : P
6:00 pm
penquis

no rocks...
6:00 pm
pippingeek

it's because we season with more than salt
6:00 pm
lilliann

yorkshire pudding with any meal never gets boring :)
6:00 pm
pippingeek

sadly, english cooking gets quite a bad rap
6:01 pm
lilliann

cheek pip, so do we..:)
6:01 pm
MollyL

Mushy peas...I rest my case.
6:01 pm
lilliann

6:01 pm
lilliann

6:03 pm
pippingeek

6:04 pm
lilliann

6:05 pm
tabbycat

They even have an acronym for it - SAD - standard American diet. And it can be pretty sad, lots of junk food and fast foods
6:05 pm
MollyL

Most "American food" comes from other countries anyway, as we are the "melting pot".
6:05 pm
lilliann

but rice and noodles only fill you up for so long and then your'e hungry again
6:07 pm
lilliann

6:08 pm
penquis

6:11 pm
lilliann

i've heard of stories from my nan who has eaten bread and dripping, golden syrup and bread and bread and sugar with butter and she is 96 this year, so it hasn't done her any harm
6:11 pm
MollyL

What is the point of eating if you don't enjoy what you eat?
6:12 pm
72 Temple Owl

i ate oven fired chicken tenders, home fries and broccoli.
6:12 pm
lilliann

i would try the chowder pen, but if it's too fishy tasting i wouldn't like it but the rest i would eat
6:12 pm
penquis

6:13 pm
lilliann

6:18 pm
lilliann

i've never had mako
6:18 pm
MollyL

The best fish is freshly caught fish. The longer it's out of the water, the blander it gets.
6:19 pm
pippingeek

marinated and grilled or roasted shark is lovely
6:20 pm
MollyL

It's because of all the ganga they add to the food TO.
: D
6:20 pm
72 Temple Owl

6:23 pm
lilliann

6:26 pm
pippingeek

hey, clue on the re6?
6:26 pm
lilliann

TO, i think your cup custards would be our custard tarts? it would be custard in a pie case
6:27 pm
pippingeek

6:27 pm
lilliann

lilliann

i'll have to get a bike made for my daughter where she pedals and then i can have an added bit onto hers but mine goes on the ground with a bucket seat and i can pedal, so when i get dizzy, the bairn does all the work :D
6:40 pm
lilliann

it would be funny TO, apart form the fact we don't play baseball
6:41 pm
MollyL

Oh that's right, y'all like those prancy sports like cricket and polo : P
6:42 pm
lilliann

there's nowt wrong with cricket and atleast with our rugby union, we don't wear shoulder pads and helmets :P
6:43 pm
lilliann

and try riding a horse quickly whilst hitting asmall ball at the same time :)
6:43 pm
MollyL

Easy girl, we have rugby over here too. I dated a rugby player in college.
6:43 pm
pippingeek

and here in the cities they play polo on double-tall bikes
6:43 pm
lilliann

did he have a broken nose?
6:44 pm
lilliann

double tall bikes?
6:44 pm
MollyL

And the rugby players are all insane from getting bashed in the head too many times not wearing a helmet.
6:44 pm
lilliann

but rugby isn't a big sport in your country though molly, like ours is it?
6:45 pm
lilliann

my dad and brother are alright, tyvm :D
6:45 pm
MollyL

No, our big sport is football. But there are plenty of rugby teams.
6:46 pm
lilliann

i think there are some insane ones in all sports, with or without helmets
6:46 pm
MollyL

Not like rugby. Have you ever drank with those guys? Holy mother of God.
6:47 pm
lilliann

you don't play football molly, you play american football which is similar to rugby. football is totally a different sport, what you would call soccer
6:47 pm
lilliann

yes, and i kept up with them :) i don't know if i should say that :D
6:48 pm
MollyL

8:11 pm
stidmama

I am so sorry he had to learn that lesson the hard way... I hope he will not have lingering problems!
8:13 pm
lilliann

no, he's just found out that he has a bad heart and has to take warfin but we have to remind him to take it at the same time every day. he went into hospital with bad neck pain which is unrelated and then they found out that he had an irregular heartbeat
8:14 pm
stidmama

oh, so glad it was something else that got him the help he needed... but still... ((hugs)) glad he'll be okay!

i love him to bits but when you talk to him and he doesn't have senile dementia or owt like that but when you talk he is on bbc radio and the rest of us are on cnn.he just doesn't listen as he's too busy telling you his live story or whatever.he was the same in hospital with the doctors
8:18 pm
lilliann

he's more worried about his bad neck which isn't bad but he needs to move it more but because it hurts he doesn't so that makes the spasms worse
8:19 pm
stidmama

sounds like perhaps perceptual impairments? Is his hearing going? mid-range perhaps?
8:20 pm
stidmama

he might think he's listening, and he might be hearing something, but if it's hard to fill in the missing bits he might not really be hearing.
8:20 pm
lilliann

everything is good stid, it's just him and he's been like that for years and years...it's just him
8:21 pm
stidmama

wow... LOL I cannot imagine existing like that, actually. Bothers me when I have allergies that clog my ears.
8:21 pm
stidmama

That's when I have trouble connecting and retaining information.
8:22 pm
lilliann

he's always talked over people and his life is more important.he did it when the bairn was knocked over, bless him. i don't think he means to do it, he just does#
8:23 pm
lilliann

and he has loads of mates and when we drive pass people, he'll say 'that's my mate' but he doesn't know their name and they've never shown up when he's needed them so...
8:25 pm
lilliann

as you know i have problems with my ears which is why i have all my dissabilities, but he doesn't bless him.his ears and eyes are ok
8:29 pm
lilliann

he's a lovely man stid and if you met him you would like him but you'd also understand...probably not his accent though..:)
8:30 pm
stidmama

rough to have people like that, isn't it lilliann? And yes, I know you also have trouble with hearing, which is why I mentioned it. As a teacher, sometimes it seems a student (or a parent!) is just rude and doesn't pay attention when it really is a hearing or vision issue.
8:30 pm
stidmama

LOL I am pretty good with accents, lilliann... after a while. Or is he Geordie too?
8:33 pm
lilliann

he has more of a pronounced accent and the ol4 geordie words that aren't used so much now
8:34 pm
stidmama

oh, yes -- that's a funny thing about accents, they turn into generational oddities, too. My grandmother spoke the German of "50 years ago" ...
8:35 pm
lilliann

i think some of the bairn's teachers might of thought i was rude on her parents' evening as i couldn't hear everything and then i was leaning in so i could lip read :)
8:36 pm
stidmama

:-) I refused to go to many conferences that were held in the gymnasium. I couldn't hear what was said, too much background noise.
8:36 pm
stidmama

They thought originally it meant I didn't care, but the reality was that I simply couldn't hear.
8:36 pm
lilliann

i should have taken off my glasses..:)
8:37 pm
lilliann

do you have hearing aids stid?
8:37 pm
stidmama

No, I have "perfect" hearing, lilliann according to the tests, but I have a problem with background noise because my brain isn't able to sort the important things out.
8:38 pm
lilliann

i have hearing aids but when out in public with all the noise it makes it worse for me so i don't wear them out in public
8:38 pm
lilliann

oh ok, is there something that can be done?
8:39 pm
stidmama

yes, I know there are some hearing aids that claim to avoid that, but I don't think they are very good.
8:41 pm
lilliann

when i wear mine i can hear every one else but the person i'm talking too, and then all the noise gives me pressure in my head and then i end up lying down for hours,so sod the hering aids :)
8:42 pm
stidmama

I don't know, lilliann -- one of these days I will give docs a try again. I am still so disgusted with the way I have been treated for other issues that I just have developed coping mechanisms. Which include things like trying to meet with students when all the other ones are busy and quiet. :-)
8:45 pm
lilliann

i'm like you stid, i've had enough of doctors just passing the buck or not listening and after the 10 years i did i just get on with it now and see them when i have too, but i should say that no all doctors are bad and alot do listen and will try and help and thankfully i've found a few but the others haven't helped
8:49 pm
lilliann

i think it also depends on what you have wrong with you as i had signs and symptoms are similar for alot of ailments as i found out even though i ended up having the both they told me i wouldn't have, so it is tough for doctors but some just don't seem to care.my local gp is crap

thanks lilliann -- and yes -- I have multiple (at this point usually minor) issues that could be many things, and they aren't interested in looking at the totality of symptoms, just treating each thing separately. Oh well.

Just reading the chog, and wanted to mention Stid that if you try a DO instead of an MD, you might get a doctor who is more likely to look at the whole instead of one symptom at a time.
9:14 pm

Any clues for the ba 6-24?
11:40 pm
Uneaixoise

plural of ba4 just above
11:43 pm
RoundBarn

well maybe it's the dog spelled with 2 t's
11:44 pm
RoundBarn

the plural of ba4 is only 5.
11:45 pm
Uneaixoise

no, the ba4 that ends in s
11:50 pm
RoundBarn

I'm missing some then. I jave a ba6-24 tat ewnds in 2 t's--a spelling of a dog that I hadn't heard, but it took it. However now I've found a ba4 that ends in s and it has a 6 plural. there are 2 6-24s.

interesting--I just pulled up the ba 6 24 thqt has the doubkle vowel, and the dictionary didn't have it. Boes the grid use a different dictionary than the one we can get with the question mark?

yes
