1:20 am

rururocks

I had to go to the list for the tr 9

1:20 am

jbp

wanna help clue us mere mortals?

1:21 am

rururocks

most of what a train runs on + consonant + past tense of digested

1:22 am

jbp

great clue, thanks ruru!

1:22 am

melonheadjujube

a section of the Talmud, and the plural are tr 8/9

1:22 am

rururocks

<---needs to bone up on talmud

1:23 am

melonheadjujube

I've done well guessing the big words tonight; that's how I got the nu7X2

1:23 am

Lizlin

Not sure how many would get that clue, melon. Worked for me though!

1:24 am

jbp

I don't get it

1:24 am

rururocks

bbl.. have to go do dishes

1:24 am

jbp

wanna come do mine, ruru?

1:25 am

rururocks

naw.. I have plenty here.. I cooked up a storm tonight

1:25 am

Lizlin

Somehow that helped me guess one nu 7. Still missing one though.

1:25 am

melonheadjujube

If you got the de7 that takes away from , unload the de and finish with consumes, you'll get the tr 8/9

1:26 am

melonheadjujube

change suffixes, Lizlin

1:26 am

rururocks

I"m getting to love melon's obscure clues

1:26 am

jbp

thanks juju. that I got. just not the other nu. I have one that sounds like genetic changed

1:26 am

Lizlin

That worked! Thanks.

1:27 am

rururocks

i did finally figure out that asian clue from the other night melon.. I was lost for a long while though

1:27 am

jbp

nm, it was present and past tense

1:28 am

melonheadjujube

refresh me, ruru. Was it one of my cryptic clues?

1:28 am

rururocks

yes.. it was totally cryptic

1:28 am

rururocks

but i eventually got it

1:28 am

rururocks

but then I'm slower than most

1:28 am

melonheadjujube

ruru, you would probably love cryptic crosswords. There are frre ones all over the net.

1:29 am

jbp

if 'incarnate' is a word, how come for why is 'decarnate' not one? ;-)

1:32 am

rururocks

I like the word carnal

1:33 am

jbp

also not in the grid 'erect'

1:33 am

rururocks

*no comment*

1:33 am

jbp

just sayin.

1:34 am

rururocks

me too

1:34 am

rururocks

sometimes it's hard to spot it

1:35 am

jbp

lol

1:35 am

rururocks

given all the other stiff competition from other words in the grid

1:35 am

jbp

and, we have seltzer dragon

1:35 am

rururocks

:D

1:35 am

jbp

as well as an AN word that is like oral, except not really

1:36 am

jbp

I would love a clue (in general) for the lowest left side R

1:36 am

rururocks

re + not walk

1:37 am

Lizlin

What is a seltzer dragon?

1:37 am

jbp

that's from a higher one

1:37 am

rururocks

nope

1:37 am

jbp

when someone (usually ruru, here) makes me laugh when I have just taken a drinnk of seltzer

1:37 am

Lizlin

Ah! Good visuals!

1:38 am

jbp

ruru, do you mean re + not walk like a horse?

1:38 am

Lizlin

Like the name.

1:38 am

Lizlin

Ty. Didn't have the horse one.

1:38 am

rururocks

no.. not walk like a human

1:38 am

rururocks

past tense of run

1:38 am

jbp

fish slap

1:38 am

jbp

thnx

1:39 am

Lizlin

Weird as I have the linked 8 and 9!

1:39 am

melonheadjujube

1:51 am

Lizlin

Hey Rose. Excuse my ignorance but how come after the last op you had lateral movement? Was that op actually not successful ?

1:51 am

puglet

Am so glad! I didnt want to get into your space if you needed some time

1:52 am

melonheadjujube

I got about 3 or 4 of the 7s from the list, the rest were going thru lickety in Alphbetic order, and some good guessing.

1:52 am

Lizlin

I'm ok thanks melon. 80 left, so don't know yet what I need as haven't listed.

1:52 am

grannyrose

liz, didn't have lateral movement until i fell and tore the ligament which stops the knee moving laterally.

1:53 am

puglet

thanks Melon , Iam okay right now---:)

1:53 am

Lizlin

OK. So glad you seem to be recovering more quickly this time.

1:54 am

grannyrose

ugh, dcs, sounds cold...can i come and live with you??

3:08 am

grannyrose

you won't need any sort of warming device...just stand/sit me in the middle of a room...i radiate heat.

3:09 am

grannyrose

pugs, you done yet, hun?

3:10 am

dcseain

It's been colder than it's been in some years this late Fall here. And based on the squirrels, many of us are anticipating a cold winter. This is very early for snow here -- frozen precipitation before Christmas is rare.

3:10 am

puglet

rotfl

3:10 am

dcseain

rare to the point i thought white xmases were a myth growing up.

3:11 am

grannyrose

*giggle* don't start me on squirrels...ask joso...i'm very bad with squirrels.

3:11 am

puglet

what part of the states do you live in DC

3:12 am

joso

hi all, biggun tonight, but no fear I already have 24

3:12 am

grannyrose

dcs, if we can have snow just before christmas ( it is our summer here ) why shouldn't you?

3:13 am

dcseain

I'm in the Virginia suburbs of DC, in Oak Hill VA near Dulles international Airport.

3:13 am

grannyrose

g'day, mate. nice to see you.

3:13 am

puglet

you know Rose, since Joso started this squirrel things we have had several commericals with them in it attacking people-lol

3:13 am

puglet

Hey there Sir Joso

3:13 am

dcseain

ah, ice storm, no snow is being called for. enough to bring down power lines. So glad i live in an area with underground lines.

3:13 am

joso

hey rose, good to see you too

3:13 am

puglet

we are to get ice and snow too today

3:14 am

dcseain

evening, joso, nice to see you.

3:14 am

joso

greeting m'lady pug

3:14 am

joso

hey dc, how's life

3:14 am

puglet

Iam in the midwest of Indiana

3:15 am

dcseain

you generally get worse Winter weather than we do here by far.

3:15 am

dcseain

alright, joso, thanks. And you?

3:15 am

puglet

we do..we got about 12 inches on the ground right now

3:17 am

dcseain

we learned that our house has a 20Amp electrical circuit that covers: the dishwasher, the dining room overhead, some overhead lights in kitchen and breakfast area, part of the living room, part of my bedroom, part of the bedroom next to mine, the internet, and the sump pump. Weee!

3:17 am

dcseain

Sounds like my family in Cleveland that way, pugs.

3:19 am

joso

seems the same guy that wired the green acres farm got work at your place dc

3:19 am

puglet

must be a older home DC

3:19 am

dcseain

LOL joso

3:20 am

dcseain

Upside, VDOT has pretreated the road. Ah, 3inches of snow, then freezing rain and sleet, chaning to plain rain Monday afternoon. I bet most schools will be closed Monday. Or at least open a couple hours late.

3:21 am

dcseain

1986 home, pugs. The kitchen was redone in January (we moved here in October). I think they did the electric on the way cheap, though.

3:21 am

puglet

I rather have the snow first then that ice!

3:21 am

joso

but no problem, take out the 20 amp fuse, stick in a penny and you will be toasty warm in no time.

3:22 am

dcseain

not fuse, breakers, so no pennies

3:22 am

joso

probably a good thing

3:22 am

dcseain

we get a lot of ice -- often ice, snow ice, or snow then ice, or straught-up ice. We we here in DC call Winter is known as Spring in New England. LOL

3:23 am

puglet

I live in mh and our wiring is about the same--everything on one side is wired together

3:24 am

joso

my old place had no plugs in the kitchen

3:25 am

puglet

was it built before electric was invented

3:25 am

joso

oops, I lie, one massive plug for the stove

3:26 am

dcseain

so small appliances were all n the dining room i bet.

3:29 am

joso

I would guess it was built in the 50's or late 40's. fridge cord ran around the corner into the living room. I bought a 6 foot power bar and attached to to the wall behind the counter, but you could not use the toaster and microwave at the same time

3:31 am

puglet

I have that problem too Joso---it will throw the breaker if both are turned on at the same time

3:32 am

joso

yep, microwave and anything really, but that problem is behind me now

3:36 am

grannyrose

*giggle* you all homes sound like this one. built late 40's early 50's. sometimes when we use the toaster everything stops. maybe we can now afford to get it sorted. will be nice not to plunge into complete darkness in the middle of cooking dinner.

3:36 am

grannyrose

hmmm...joso...you saying the ......shines out of your a...

4:05 am

joso

simpson didn't get a medal due to bureaucratic nonsense, reminds me of your battles with the pen pushers

4:06 am

grannyrose

jack, wouldn't be this strong without my God and friends. i have had so much support.

4:13 am

worzel

Mum you are, as everyone keeps saying, a very strong person. I don't know how you do it. I have a minor tummy problem and all of a sudden it gets me depressed! Well, maybe depressed is an exaggeration, but I ain't one to take to illness - I'm not ur usual man I just get on with it, but I can't complain what with all you've gone through lately xx

4:14 am

ivesy3

cold here too. seems all winter they post storm warnings.... just in case..

4:14 am

rubyfoo

it is brutal, but the dogs don't seem to mind. They prefer being outside to being nestled by the hearth

4:15 am

puglet

I bet they do!--with their heavy coats its paridise to them-lol

4:15 am

grannyrose

worzel, complain away...or not....this strong man image is so passe. trying to make DH understand...it is okay to blurt out how you feel. tummy problem??? spill, dear. if not here, email me.xoxox

4:15 am

ivesy3

i would prefer the hearth ruby

4:16 am

puglet

eee, I dont want puke on my screen--LOL

4:16 am

joso

smoking is my thing right now, moved into a non smoking house so decided now is the time to quit, started a champix prescription and will stop in 2 weeks, but in the meantime I have to step out every time I want to smoke

4:16 am

rubyfoo

baby girl is almost as big as her brother and she's not even full-grownyet. She's a lovely moose of a girl with a wonderful thick an fluffy coat

4:17 am

puglet

or get a electric cig, Joso

4:17 am

worzel

It's not that I'm being all macho man, it's just I can't be doing with illness. I had my appendix out 6 weeks ago in a rather nasty op. Have all but recovered from it, but for at least the last 4 weeks I have had, on and off, very loose movements, shall we say. And last few days quite bad cramps. I'm associating it with a general bug because I feel ok otherwise, but my partner hasn't contracted the bug and we're together all the time so maybe it's not a bug. Probably just being a big old sissy really, aren't i?

4:17 am

grannyrose

yay you joso. use me as you champix buddy if you like. been there, got the t-shirt...

4:17 am

ivesy3

dr. said next appt. i better come in and say i have quit... and mean it.. ..pug, i have the elec cig.. made me sick lol

4:18 am

rubyfoo

the problem, as I've read, with the e-cigs is that they don't know how safe they are, long-term

4:18 am

Jackanory

Night all

Night Jack

4:19 am

ivesy3

yes ruby.. and they do have nicotine ..i want just the vapor one.. no nicotine

4:19 am

grannyrose

worzel...maybe the antibiotics they gave you. try something which will stabilise the normal flora/fauna in your bowel. antibiotics have a tendency to knock them off. check with your local pharmacy.

4:19 am

grannyrose

sleep well, jack, hun

4:20 am

ivesy3

well may nite affect you like that pug.. just get the single one..they go about $9.00 here..

4:20 am

joso

4:20 am

rubyfoo

and eat yoghurt!!

4:20 am

puglet

and wor why you say you are a sissy just cause you dont feel well

4:20 am

worzel

Never thought of that Mum. Mind you I haven't been on the antibiotics for about a month or so, and that was when it started so maybe that's it! Oh ty SOOO much Mum I shall go to pharmacy tomorrow and ask their opinion! See, not only strong as an ox but a true blessing xx ty!!

4:21 am

puglet

Well, I certainly feel "washed out" shall we say!!

4:22 am

4:47 am

puglet

so good to hear Sprite and Mrs Ruby said to tell you hi

4:47 am

grannyrose

okay, leaving initials alone....

4:47 am

PMS

Don't worry. You get used to it as initials.

4:47 am

joso

ah, you must have truly loved him to take his name with this result, or is he filthy rich, hey hopefully both

4:47 am

sprite

aw dear ruby. *says hi back*

4:48 am

sprite

well you can't really hate it, PMS, or you wouldn't have picked it as your nom de plume. Hope you won't hate us for fooling around.

4:48 am

puglet

she went off to eat at your favorite place, she said

4:48 am

PMS

Didn't think about it. Don't think it was invented when I got married.

4:49 am

sprite

rose, darling, you are a marvel, back with us already. I told pug you would be :)

4:50 am

sprite

a lovely restaurant, pug, with not too many different things on the menu (I stink at choosing), a view on the lake, and very kind personnel.

4:50 am

grannyrose

*huge yawn* ....gulp, yes, sprite....whatever you say dear....meeting with funeral directors tomorrow morning...need to sleep...

4:51 am

puglet

4:51 am

joso

4:51 am

puglet

oops. shouldnt of said that--sorry

4:51 am

sprite

4:51 am

puglet

4:51 am

sprite

what, Fang trying to DO something? You gotta be kidding.

4:52 am

grannyrose

okay, if you say so....

4:52 am

joso

4:52 am

grannyrose

4:52 am

grannyrose

xoxox darlings.

4:53 am

sprite

4:53 am

puglet

How are you today Sprite

4:53 am

sprite

am good, pug. Slept well. Calm day ahead of me. Puzzles to create, lol. And you?

4:53 am

joso

don't give don a hug from me, wish him well, no hug

4:54 am

sprite

and you, joso? Not a gaming sunday today, apparently. More unpacking :)

4:54 am

sprite

lol joso, come on now, a good strong male bear hug.

4:54 am

puglet

everything is fine with me now that all the gang has checked in--well havent seen OO for a few days

4:55 am

sprite

no, me neither. Hope he will drop a line soon.

4:56 am

joso

nope, need to know a guy for atleast 5 years before you move on from handshaking (unless you are on the same sport team)

4:56 am

sprite

ah, ok, see, never learned the inside information on maledom.

4:57 am

joso

there are rules

4:57 am

puglet

what about women? 21/2 for them? lol

4:57 am

joso

hehehehe

4:58 am

puglet

Sprite, glad you guys liked the ideal on the shed.

4:58 am

sprite

women? We are quite different. We can hug from day one. But watch your back, because quite a few ladies won't think twice about stabbing you in the back the moment you turn around.

4:58 am

joso

for women, 3 minutes, any excuse to cop a feel

4:58 am

sprite

sure did, pug. Gave my love a whole new idea. Will brighten up the place considerably too... it is a dark hole inside, of course.

5:03 am

puglet

I have had a few friends that their hubby has tried to hit on me(in my younger days, that is) and I hated that uncompfy feeling--:(

5:03 am

sprite

one of our neighbours threw out a whole shelves system from a very good brand, my love could take it away for free (we brought them a big bouquet of flowers for it) and now he is installing it in his container. Sorry, workshop.

5:05 am

sprite

oh dear, yes, that is very unpleasant. Some men are like that.

5:05 am

joso

sorry pug, I jest, didn't mean to make you uncomfortable

5:06 am

sprite

a good hug is not sexual at all. You can hug me anytime, joso, and I know my husband wouldn't mind :)

5:08 am

puglet

turn over---you didnt Joso--I was relating to back stabbers

5:10 am

sprite

have to admit to being an avid hugger. I truly believe that a hug is healing in so many ways. My love is a hugger too, and so are our children now.

5:11 am

puglet

there wasent alot in my family, but have learned to be more so as Ive gotten older

5:12 am

joso

I am much more stand offish, shy away from touching until I trust someone, would hug either one of you on sight though

5:12 am

sprite

not much of it in my family either. Started hugging when I learned to love myself more, early stages, say around 25.

5:12 am

sprite

I would respect your distance, joso, but am glad I don't have to :) Would gladly hug you IRL.

5:13 am

puglet

what about 2 years ago> :)

5:14 am

joso

are you asking me pug?

5:15 am

puglet

No, sprite---I would have no problem hugging you

5:15 am

sprite

would gladly hug you too, pug

5:16 am

puglet

My hair color puts a strike against me with Joso, as he stated long ago-lol

5:17 am

sprite

jeezzz is that un- prefix totally unproductive today?

5:17 am

joso

ah red hair, like a moth to a flame

5:18 am

puglet

just 2 Sprite

5:18 am

sprite

ok, thanks pug, then I will keep looking

5:19 am

puglet

Iam having trouble with the s's today--and I usually get them pretty good

5:20 am

sprite

wow. I always have trouble with the S's. There are always too many of them, lol.

5:20 am

puglet

un7 and a ut5

5:20 am

sprite

ah ok, so only one un-?

5:20 am

puglet

yes, sorry I misled you

5:20 am

sprite

got them both. Praise be. Thanks pug :)

5:21 am

sprite

red hair, a natural trait of beauty.

5:21 am

puglet

alot of big words today

5:22 am

sprite

indeed. Am proud to say I found 3 7s and 3 8s all by myself, and even before hitting halfway.

5:24 am

puglet

Iam down to 113 and Iam about ready to go to lickety soon

5:26 am

sprite

good job, pug!

5:28 am

sprite

ok, even found 2 9s. Am amazing today. Or the grid is that easy, lol... guess which one.

5:28 am

puglet

I dont think so. been here since flip

5:29 am

puglet

Youre amazing!

5:30 am

sprite

*giggles* yeah right. Do you realise how much you learned already, pug? Down to 113 without help, that is something awesome. Would you have believed you could do that the first day you played?

5:31 am

puglet

well no,,and I can see a diferent on my other word game from playing here

5:32 am

sprite

oh I believe that! I have learned so much from babble too.

5:33 am

puglet

what puzzles you planning on making now

5:33 am

sprite

did you see my second Christmas star one? I like making those stars so much, lol... just a child with a new play thing.

5:33 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

5:34 am

puglet

no--I didnt go there yesterday due to reading-lol

5:34 am

Lizlin

I love your star puzzles, sprite - saw the 2nd one today and will do the it when I have some time.

5:34 am

puglet

Hi Liz, wb

5:35 am

Lizlin

Always good to be back and happy that you're still here, pugs.

5:35 am

puglet

Iam about done with Julian--I have liked it very much

5:35 am

sprite

errr let me see... I have 2 halloween themes waiting to be made, Witches & black cats and Skulls & bats. Was thinking of doing a dutch theme one for touristic places in Amsterdam... one of the special canal houses... Any requests maybe?

5:35 am

sprite

hi Liz, lovely that you enjoy them! How are you doing today?

5:36 am

Lizlin

Will enjoy those! I love fantasy puzzles.

5:36 am

sprite

oh wow pug, am so glad :) Yeah, he is quite something, isn't he, that Julian. Nice to know his background, isn't it?

5:36 am

Lizlin

All's fine here, thanks. How are you - enjoying the weekend?

5:37 am

Lizlin

How's your daughter - was reading about her problems - but you weren't online at the time, so couldn't send you hugs!

5:37 am

puglet

yes, it makes one understand more of things in the later books////how about one of your neighborhood

5:37 am

sprite

had a bit of a rough week emotionally, Liz, and since yesterday I feel like I am getting my fe4 back under me, so yes, enjoying it very much :)

5:37 am

Lizlin

With the puzzles, is there a way of having the images onscreen, whilst completing the puzzles?

5:38 am

sprite

oh, I could do that, pug. Would have to make pictures first then... could be a nice project when I walk Terra.

5:38 am

Lizlin

Yes, it sounded like a really rubbish week for you but hopefully this week will be better.

5:38 am

Lizlin

Have you cooked anything this weekend?

5:38 am

puglet

can you show the before and after of the street work

5:38 am

sprite

Liz, not readily. You can either hit the pauze button and see the small one, or you can open the puzzle page on a second tab of your browser.

5:39 am

sprite

I didn't take pictures from that, pug :(

5:39 am

puglet

have you got group in the morning Sprite

5:39 am

Lizlin

I figured that was the case. I did the first star puzzle without looking at the pic! A good challenge!

5:39 am

sprite

no, I cooked on Thursday this last week. Spaghetti with leek, bacon and herb cheese.

5:40 am

puglet

I liked that one too--was so pretty

5:40 am

Lizlin

Leave the bacon out for me and it sounds yummy!

5:40 am

sprite

woot Liz, indeed :) I like doing mosaic puzzles. It is like doing a lot of mini puzzles.

5:40 am

Lizlin

Probably yummy even with the bacon, just not for me!

5:40 am

puglet

WHAT! no bacon! lol

5:40 am

sprite

you a veggie, Liz?

5:40 am

Lizlin

No - not kosher, so I don't eat it.

5:41 am

joso

wow liz, so few are kosher these days

5:41 am

Lizlin

Depends where you are joso!

5:41 am

puglet

Sprite, dont think I ever told this but I have two neighbours with the last name of Bacon-lol

5:42 am

sprite

ah I see. The dish needs something with a strong taste or it will be too bland. Don't know kosher food well enough to think of a substitute. But anything with a bit of oomph will do.

5:42 am

joso

stick you in the same room with crossy and something might implode, lol

5:42 am

sprite

roflolllll pug! Don't tell crossy... he will become a maneater :)

5:42 am

Lizlin

I was at Hebrew School (Sunday School) as a kid, with a kid with the surname of Bacon. Ironic for a Jewish kid!

5:42 am

sprite

oh dear, what a rotten name for a child to have

5:43 am

Lizlin

No - it'd be fine Joso - he'd happily have all the bacon.

5:44 am

joso

true enough, he would't mind having extra, hehehehe

5:44 am

Lizlin

Smoked salmon would probably substitute well for the bacon in that pasta dish.

5:44 am

puglet

I bet poor crossy isnt eating bacon right now

5:44 am

sprite

do you like to read detective novels, Liz?

5:44 am

Lizlin

Yes, sprite.

5:44 am

sprite

oh, smoked salmon is always good, lol. I love it. Yes, that would do just fine.

5:45 am

sprite

there is this series by Faye Kellerman, about a detective who falls in love with a Jewish woman and learns to adapt to the ways of her faith. Very interesting and good reads.

5:46 am

Lizlin

I love Faye Kellerman books - also the ones her husband writes - Jonathan Kellerman.

5:46 am

sprite

crossy has to watch his bacon intake and he does. He does pretty well with making choices... and he is a marvel at making lovely dishes anway :)

5:47 am

sprite

ah, should have know you already knew them, lol. Yes, I love his work too.

5:48 am

lynxxx

their son, Jesse, not so good. Hello everyone

5:48 am

Lizlin

You never know Sprite - in this instance, yes, I knew the books but it's always worth asking.

5:48 am

sprite

hi lyn :) xxx
No indeed, less well.

5:48 am

Lizlin

I agree, Lyn. I've read one by Jesse Kellerman - didn't read any more!

5:48 am

puglet

5:54 am

It really is. I got so much support when Frank was sick - I used my profile as a kind of diary and it was quite therapeutic :-)

uusue2

Hmmm, I wonder if I am her friend on Facebook?

8:36 am

MimiCat

MimiCat

I'm making her favorite...my chicken paprikash.

8:39 am

uusue2

8:40 am

uusue2

11:25 am

periwinkle

oh dear. I am glad you survived all that

11:27 am

zoozzoom

Grabbed the boys head by the hair and repeatedly banged his head against the table...I must admit to being glad it happened at the time (not now) he was such a bully at school.

12:06 pm

rururocks

I tend to think everyone is in my time zone :D

12:06 pm

Dorens

no owl, not the drawing word

12:06 pm

Dorens

change the last letter

12:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

really good for him.

12:06 pm

rururocks

wow.. Folsom is a pretty area

12:07 pm

zoozzoom

Always reminds me of Johnny Cash wehn i hear about that prison..lol

12:07 pm

rururocks

is it dangerous at all for him doren?

12:07 pm

zoozzoom

When*

12:07 pm

Dorens

so, they're looking for a place somewhere near davis ?? so that IF jaime gets a job in Sf they can each commute.

12:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

well then i will search for the other tr5 ty

12:07 pm

zoozzoom

What was the name of the Prison that Cash sang in?

12:07 pm

rururocks

ah

12:08 pm

rururocks

maybe dixon would be better

12:08 pm

Dorens

folsom, zooz

12:08 pm

Dorens

folsom, zooz

12:08 pm

rururocks

there are some nice areas in Dixon

12:08 pm

rururocks

Davis is expensive due to the college

12:08 pm

zoozzoom

Ah so it is the same one..lol

12:09 pm

Dorens

we hope not, ru. it is a maximum security prison. i'm thinking after a few years there, he would be able to write a terrific book

12:09 pm

rururocks

yes he would be bound to write a book :D

12:10 pm

Dorens

expensive due to the college, but then again, it has the sort of places, coffeeshops, etc that they like being able to be near, also due to the college

12:10 pm

rururocks

yes true.

12:10 pm

Dorens

now a lot of puns about books, ru? i am off in a few minutes, just hoping to whittle down what i need to a manageable number for the evening

12:10 pm

rururocks

that would be a hell of a commute to SF though

12:11 pm

rururocks

coming back on 80 east is horrible..especially Fridays

12:11 pm

Dorens

well, she doesn't actually even have a job. i don't know what they're thinking. Her sister's in Napa and they want somewhere closer to them i think, too

12:11 pm

rururocks

dixon is one hour from Napa

12:12 pm

mab

thank goodness for libraries in prisons.

12:12 pm

rururocks

ten minutes from Davis

12:12 pm

rururocks

that's how I read it too Mab

12:12 pm

rururocks

She could find a job in Sacramento easier than SF i'm guessing

12:12 pm

Dorens

yes mab. i agree, for multiple reasons. I will tell him to look at dixon ru. (How far is it from Folsom?)

12:13 pm

mab

my ex is a librarian. in dc. in journalistic setting

12:13 pm

rururocks

without traffic.. maybe 40 minutes

12:13 pm

zoozzoom

Sounds like the travel will be a bind.

12:13 pm

Biltong

Clue for the re8, please?

12:13 pm

mab

he is brilliant

12:13 pm

Dorens

his hours are 7:30 - 3:30 or something like that.

12:14 pm

rururocks

off commute.. that's good

12:14 pm

zoozzoom

Re8 to pour wine into another vessel?

12:14 pm

mab

actually, libraries are as close as most prisons get to providing rehabilitation, i think

12:15 pm

rururocks

lol zoom.. want to TAKE That back :?

12:15 pm

Dorens

my ex is brilliant too. and so are our sons... took david forever to get back to college, then he was very focused and went straight for his MS in library science. He actually prefers archival work, but this is what he got and I'm thinking he'll enjoy it.

12:15 pm

Biltong

ty, zooz, found it :)

12:15 pm

rururocks

it will certain'y not be boring for him doren

12:15 pm

zoozzoom

Sorry that is for the DE..but you can still get there with it.

12:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

does he enjoy working with people?

12:16 pm

Dorens

i'm really looking forward to hearing his stories.

12:16 pm

Biltong

yes, thanks zooz

12:16 pm

zoozzoom

I always make massive clue mistakes when you around, Ru..lol

12:16 pm

mab

i sometimes think of getting a msl; rather late in life, but i would like to do archival work too.

12:17 pm

mab

is the job market pretty tight? for librarians?

12:17 pm

Biltong

Dinner's ready. Happy babbling and thanks for all the great clues.

12:17 pm

phandmd

was just looking at google maps and wow the traffic is terrible!

12:17 pm

zoozzoom

Enjoy your meal, Biltong :-)

12:17 pm

rururocks

you don't mention tight in prisons mab :D

12:18 pm

Dorens

he enjoys helping people... explaining things, he did IT stuff for a while and was great with that. But he doesn't suffer fools gladly, and has issues with authoritative a**holes.

12:18 pm

zoozzoom

LOL, RU

12:18 pm

mab

oh, me too.

12:18 pm

Dorens

I think it is mab.... He had been looking for over 6 months... more intensively after he moved out there in August

12:19 pm

rururocks

12:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

Ive never really understood that phrase.

12:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

traditaonal librarian jobs are very scarce.

12:20 pm

mab

hmm... i wonder if the federal government uses lots of librarians.

12:20 pm

Dorens

don't have to understand it to use it... my feeling is that it means don't put up with them easily

12:20 pm

Dorens

he was working at the fed reserve bank in boston and enjoying it , but no openings in the SF branch

12:21 pm

mab

i think for homeland security issues they do use librarians. creepy.

12:21 pm

Dorens

ok folk. I need to go read... book club tomorrow and I'm only 60 % done. Also have to make curried butternut squash soup.

12:21 pm

phandmd

TO, That's fine. It's just a comfort food kind of day!

12:37 pm

meat load is a good description of what I make. No matter what I do, it is always too dense and tastes live liver. Awful!

12:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

i was in the parking lot and it was so full i just left.

12:37 pm

phandmd

We had no need for milk or TP, never looked at our bread stores. Hangs head in shame.

12:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

72 Temple Owl

12:47 pm

phandmd

Yes, she loves it! She has a blast outside.

12:47 pm

If we in the UK had anything more than a few inches then everything shuts down and we can not cope.

12:47 pm

phandmd

It is still snowing, but seems to have slowed down some.

4:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. lots of excrement issues though.

4:56 pm

welki

uhm - the dogs wearing the labels of shame, not me - although i'm sure some would think i should as well. well hell yeah - i guess there were times i deserved to :)

5:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

it is agood thing i need to clean before the window washer comes tomorrow or i would be baking browmies right about now.

5:08 pm

dianedecoder

And as for the snow situation, we have over a foot on the level and piled up about 2 to 3 feet where we shovel. We had -32 C here the other day with a wind chill of -49..... It's much nicer today... clear, sunny and -16 C

5:09 pm

dianedecoder

I feel bad for the poor folks having the ice storms.... they are devastating :-(

5:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

and if i dare say you are used to it will you whack me with a babblefish?

5:10 pm

dianedecoder

Nope... it's true !! I've lived in this country for 73 years...and I still love winter!

5:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. there is nothing worse. problems even if one stays home.

5:11 pm

welki

lol diane! you love winter from afar!

5:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

5:12 pm

dianedecoder

However, I'm loving our little 3 1/2 month's jaunts to Arizona every year now..... we leave for destinations south on Dec. 29

5:12 pm

rubyfoo

diane, please save some for me or at least send me your recipe

5:12 pm

dianedecoder

snow, or meatloaf ? lol

5:12 pm

dianedecoder

Hi ruby :-)

5:13 pm

rubyfoo

our pups are very discrete, they poop in the shrubbery where no one ever goes I've never seen either dog do it. Chows are very private.

5:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

ruby. in search of the perfect meatloaf.

5:14 pm

rubyfoo

I would welcome any receipes and my address is I y profie 9never been updated 0 bad, lazy el)

5:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

this is a bugger of a grid. still need 41

5:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

ruby, it has to be in the ratios.

5:14 pm

dianedecoder

My meat loaf is very basic.... hubby prefers it the way his mom made it... no fancy spices, no cheese in it etc.

5:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

what is your binder besides an egg?

5:15 pm

dianedecoder

I still have 71 words left

5:15 pm

rubyfoo

bread soaked in milk

5:15 pm

welki

i use breadcrumbs

5:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have used that rarely. use crumbs oats or minced celery and carrot. i make different loaves.

5:16 pm

rubyfoo

bread crumbs here are not like progresso, they're finer and tasteless. I use some good seasons Italian seasoning and ketchup

5:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

actually, use bread in milk for meatballs.

5:16 pm

joso

I use a store

5:16 pm

dianedecoder

I use 2# ground beef, one can tomato soup, 2 eggs, about 1/2 a sleeve of crackers ( saltines ) rolled fine, finely chopped onion... salt and pepper. And yes, like welki, I use my own bread crumbs if I've got any.

5:16 pm

rubyfoo

<-- allergic to oatmeal

5:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

oats work well. one of the best is the bottom of the bag crumbs from bran cereal.

5:18 pm

dianedecoder

aha.... I use bread in milk for meatballs too... makes them so nice and fluffy.

5:18 pm

dianedecoder

The "store" works too, joso :-)

5:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. i changed over to romano parmesan blend as well and that kicked them up at notch in flavor, though i don't like pecorino for anything else.

5:19 pm

rubyfoo

the /French don't eat meat loaf and my friends think I'm crazy

5:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

but back to poor ruby. i remember m first couple of loaves, no recipe just from watching my mother cook it. like bricks.

5:19 pm

rubyfoo

Ah, so I could add some good Paresan?

5:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

they eat pa - TAY . we are now talking meatballs.

5:20 pm

rubyfoo

that was exactly my problem, and hers was always delicious, especially for sandwiches the net day

5:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

heaviness is the ratio of the other ingredients.

5:21 pm

rubyfoo

I've written down Diane's receipe

5:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

how loose is the mixture?

5:21 pm

dianedecoder

hubby likes it cold for breakfast, with eggs and hash browns !

5:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

that is great, ruby. let us know how it turns out.

5:22 pm

rubyfoo

I'll make it on Tuesday with mashed potatoes and let you know

5:22 pm

rubyfoo

good night all, it's very late

5:22 pm

dianedecoder

My girls never used to mix theirs well enough... and they always sort of fell apart... I use my hands, and mix until I can pick the whole "blob" up with my hand.... need to get the egg mixed in well.

5:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

deal

5:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

i make one that uses tomato sauce and surround it with carrots while baking. carrots love tomato sauce.

5:23 pm

rubyfoo

thank you everybody

5:23 pm

welki

i have a standing invitation to the gal who boards my dogs - whenever there's meat loaf, she's here :)

5:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

another quick trick ruby for seasoning is to add mild salsa and top it with same

5:23 pm

rubyfoo

carrots sound like a good idea

5:23 pm

dianedecoder

My son in law makes a groove in the center, puts mozzarella cheese or similar in it, then covers it over with remaining meat. It's good too.

5:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

i hate salsa but it has everythink one might want to use for seasoning.

5:24 pm

welki

i make mine plain and simple - good the first day, great for sandwiches the next

5:24 pm

rubyfoo

these are all good ideas. If it tastes like liver (AGAIN), I'll put it in the pb

5:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

minced vegetables are great binders in lieu of bread products.

5:24 pm

dianedecoder

I'm getting hungry, and it's still an hour 'til supper !!

5:25 pm

welki

if you're in a pinch, salsa added to a can of pinto beans makes a nice side dish - you can spice it up, dress it up with onions/peppers if you want

5:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

gee thanks a lot rubes ! :P

5:25 pm

dianedecoder

same here welki...the plain and simple

5:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

tnx, welk will try.

5:25 pm

cybernan

hello everyone -- ugly grid for me.

5:25 pm

rubyfoo

It's 12"30 and I just ate a duck pate sandwich which will probably make me sick during the night. Allways a smart eater NOT

5:26 pm

welki

yummmmm - pate

5:26 pm

welki

hi, nan

5:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

dear me, you should be dreaming.

5:26 pm

welki

works well with black beans, too, owl

5:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi nan

5:26 pm

dianedecoder

Hi nan.... think "food" ....it makes the grid easier to take !

5:26 pm

cybernan

wish I had some duck pate!

5:27 pm

rubyfoo

there is a wonderful duck pate here from the Dordogne which the local store carries.

5:27 pm

rubyfoo

*woof*

5:27 pm

welki

oh i can see me in the store - do you have any duck pate from the Dordogne? "No, welki, but we have some liverwurst in a tube"

5:27 pm

cybernan

yum -- still miss the fois gras we used to be able to get, though

5:28 pm

dianedecoder

LOL....

5:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

lolol

5:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

there was a big flap about fois gras here. animal cruelty issues.

5:29 pm

welki

seriously

5:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

how about the r that begins the fourth row?

5:29 pm

cybernan

we can get the duck pate from a local italian grocery and sometimes Save-on brings it in at Christmas

5:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

and does the un word use another grid word? would love stats for that grid word

5:30 pm

welki

only animal cruelty issues related to fois gras? other parts are okay? just not the liver? LOLOL

5:30 pm

dan2bit

TO - showed a tv program again re5

5:30 pm

welki

<-- will look for duck pate (but not ask where it comes from)

5:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

apparently

5:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

thanks dan

5:30 pm

cybernan

same here TO -- darned tree huggers couldn't stick to trees. We eat eggs and the laying hens are treated just as badly.

5:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

i will not eat liver. it cleanses the body, how can it be ok to eatno wonder it tastes bad.

5:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry, just a statement, no indictment meant.

5:32 pm

dan2bit

I have tried both pattern and attract multiple times

5:32 pm

welki

i like liver. liver and onions. chicken livers wrapped in bacon. chopped liver. liverwurst. pate of unknown origin. and soon - duck pate!

5:33 pm

cybernan

the problem is that it doesn't taste bad when mixed with lots of heavy cream...

5:34 pm

welki

my son in law is brazilian - we've had skewers of barbecued, marinated chicken hearts - yum!

5:34 pm

welki

(one of my sons in law)

5:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think it is a love it or not thing. i have been urged to taste all variations and all are equally bad to my tastebuds. i don't eat skin or fat either.

5:34 pm

cybernan

2nd nu 6, please?

5:35 pm

cybernan

nm - found it

5:35 pm

welki

sounds like a genetic deviation

5:37 pm

welki

5:37 pm
