7:03 am

crosshair

howdy, angel

7:03 am

Aloyisius

hi wvt and Angelsong

7:03 am

crosshair

I know all about dental issues this year, angel. I hope you are near the end of it all

7:03 am

rubyfoo

hi angel

7:05 am

Angelsong

crossy...justbeginning, really, but I am so glad to have my natural teeth gone. they were making me sick.

7:06 am

crosshair

there are so many ways a bad set of teeth impact our overall health:(

7:06 am

rubyfoo

must makea pureed but tasty soup for the PB!

7:07 am

crosshair

mmm, crossy will make a nice French Canadian split pea soup with chunks of smoked ham

7:07 am

rubyfoo

make sure the chunks are in small pieces lol

7:07 am

crosshair

will do:)

7:08 am

crosshair

will be so tender that angel can gum them to death:)

7:09 am

crosshair

first day back at classes for crossy. Was a long march break

7:09 am

Angelsong

lol, crossy!m one oral surgeon I met with wanted 10k just to extact my teeth...

7:09 am

crosshair

!!!!

7:10 am

rubyfoo

unbelievable!

7:10 am

crosshair

here, a single tooth pull is $75 so multiply that by the number of teeth in yer head. $10k is insane

7:10 am

rubyfoo

Although I love split pea soup, I've never made it. Will have to see if those dried peas are available here.....

7:11 am

Angelsong

got the extractions done, temporary and pernanent dentures and after care and adjustments done for around 4k, though...

7:11 am

wvteach

love making split pea soup - maybe that's what i will do today since i will be at home

7:12 am

rubyfoo

Angel, is your town in TX near to Austin?

7:12 am

crosshair

it is the staff of life, ruby. Add a nice Greek salad with it and a loaf of Crusty Italian bread slathered in creamery butter.

7:13 am

Aloyisius

7:13 am

Angelsong

yes, ruby

7:13 am

crosshair

ahh yes, today is the big day. I almost forgot

7:13 am

rubyfoo

7:13 am

Angelsong

I'm less than an hour from Austin, which is my hometown

7:13 am

wvteach

7:15 am

Aloyisius

my son loved Austin too, but cedar fever drove him away

7:15 am

rubyfoo

my son has that, too, but he is sufficiently stubborn not to be deterred

7:16 am

wvteach

what is cedar fever?

7:16 am

rubyfoo

It's funny because he never had allergies, either in NY state or in Miami

7:16 am

rubyfoo

Cedar fever must be really pernicious

7:16 am

Aloyisius

allergic reaction to pollen

7:17 am

Aloyisius

yes, when the inlaws visited, they both became quite ill and neither had previously had allergy problems.. bronchial reaction that lasted a long time

7:19 am

rubyfoo

I think I'm somewhat allergic to my dogs, but \I'm stubborn too and just wash my hands all the time

7:20 am

rubyfoo

The leprechauns came and ate up all the soda bread & honey we left out for them. They drank up all the Irish whiskey we left out for them too. Alas, the little buggars left 4 inches of snow behind.

7:38 am

MollyL

But they left some gold as well, so I won't complain.

7:38 am

12:49 pm

crosshair

well, it is all, nitpicking and nuances when you go from 90 -98% so everything helps

12:50 pm

crosshair

I tell the kids in class that 70-90% is the easy part, it is all rough brush strokes

12:50 pm

Mary

12:50 pm

Jillyjill

12:58 pm

crosshair

they have till the end of the week to get in all assignments. It is separating the wheat from the chaff. Yhe slakers for the first 5 weeks are going down in flames as they come to the sidden realization that they will not get done two of the key papers that are worth 15% each

I was sitting in mcdonalds today whe a teenaged girl was showing her friends her brand new iphone5 her mother gave her the money for..then she promptly dropped it on the floor and cracked the glass cover...to say she was not a happy bunny would be an understatement.

1:56 pm

Deeha

I worked in a school and during rebuilding they were putting a shower in. One colleague planned to run at lunch time, she nipped to the loo saw there were no workmen there so she ran in, stripped all her clothes off and as she did so a spanner fell at here feet. She looked up and there was a big hole in the ceiling. I said the only way that could happen was that it was an a blokes top pocket and as he leant over for a better look0 it fell out!!

Soodle

And so.... My Lenten abstinence continues. Things didn't go my way today, so for the first Paddy's Day in years, you see before you a totally sober Soodle. I hate it.

5:00 pm

crosshair

good afternoon my friends

5:01 pm

Soodle

It gets worse.... Nobody cares....

5:01 pm

crosshair

I feel for you , soodles, poor Crossy is as sober as a judge as well.

5:01 pm

crosshair

tis a horrible thing

5:02 pm

crosshair

everything is terribly in focus, if you wish it to be, or not

5:02 pm

stidgmere

Hello crossy and Soodle. Here in the great, Sunny Northwest we are also sober as judges. Glorious weather and fudge in the fridge awaiting dessert time.

5:02 pm

crosshair

howdy, stidmere

5:02 pm

MollyL

Beannacht Día Lá Féile Pádraig, Soodle. And my condolences.

5:02 pm

Soodle

Thank you Crossy. I know you feel my pain. :--)

5:03 pm

crosshair

mmmm, fudge...

5:03 pm

Soodle

Agus tu fein, Molls.

5:03 pm

MollyL

*Takes down all the St. Patrick's Day party decorations in the PB and sets up a dry little tea party with boring sandwiches. Ugh. *

5:04 pm

Soodle

Hey gMere. :-)

5:05 pm

stidgmere

Hi soodle. There, there, we are full of consoling sounds for you.

5:05 pm

crosshair

lol, just scrolling through webs sites and it says "38 million North American's drink too much".. wish I could drink to that.

5:05 pm

Soodle

I guess I don't really deserve condolences. My liver is hopping out of my body, saying Thank You.

5:07 pm

crosshair

my liver is like a pickled egg. even if you suddenly remove it from it's long time bath of pickling brine, it remains pickled forevermore;)

5:07 pm

stidgmere

We shall just have to have fun now that we can remember what we did that was funny.

5:08 pm

Soodle

I spent the afternoon riveted to Darby O Gill & The Little People, in the company of about 20 old folk. My! How the mighty have fallen.

5:08 pm

MollyL

*Drowns a shamrock or two for Soodle...looks for a more lively party*

5:09 pm

stidgmere

Molly is going to make up for our shortcomings. Thank you Molly.

5:09 pm

Soodle

Yay Molls! I hope the Tullamore Dew has been broken out?

5:11 pm

crosshair

mmm.. Tullamore Dew....

5:13 pm

MollyL

Nothing wrong with watching Darby O'Gill on St. Patrick's Day. It's a tradition here.

5:13 pm

crosshair

tape a whole bunch of those excellent commercials they make and pour a wee dram and sit back and relax.

5:15 pm

MollyL

A bartender who knows what an "Irish and Irish" is...is my best friend. (Bottle of Harp and a shot of Jameson's)

5:16 pm

MollyL

Also, I fail to see why a day spent with the elders prohibited you from at least a pint at the pub.

5:17 pm

Soodle

I was driving, Mollls :-(

5:18 pm

MollyL

Well, yes, but we are not too off the charts to drive after one drink.

5:18 pm

MollyL

And is there some reason why you could not have had a wee sip at home?

5:19 pm

Soodle

Not here, you wouldn't. Zero tolerance. And by the time I got home, I couldn't be bothered.

5:20 pm

MollyL

This is far and away the saddest St. Patrick's Day tale I have ever heard. Off to weep in my glass o'Dew.

5:21 pm

Soodle

Enjoy, my friend! Enjoy. :-)

5:21 pm

MollyL

*Hears ancestors rolling in graves at "couldn't be bothered" *

5:22 pm

Soodle

I know! I'm a disgrace.

5:23 pm

MollyL

Well, *sigh* Happy St. Patrick's Day to you and your happy liver. *sigh*

5:23 pm

Soodle

G Mere, is Stidmama back in her house yet?

5:24 pm

stidgmere

Not yet Soodle. She has cabinets in the kitchen and baths, doors in doorways and the trim needs putting in. Waiting for appliances and counter tops. Paint is pretty much completed. I think we can talk in terms of a few weeks.

5:26 pm

Soodle

The poor old pet. What an awful time she has been through. Please pass on my best wishes to her & hers.

5:27 pm

stidgmere

Thank you Soodle. I shall be happy to give her the wishes from you.

5:28 pm

stidgmere

Hello Trif.

5:28 pm

Trifioso

why thank you molly! It looks charming!

5:28 pm

Soodle

Well spotted, Molly

5:28 pm

MollyL

I was going to give one to Soodle for "Sood" and "Trim" but she earned her way out of that.

5:29 pm

Trifioso

so hey - primo is turning 21, at midnight tonight. In Boston. On frigging St. Paddy's Day. That should go well, eh? God help us all

5:29 pm

Soodle

Wah. :-(

5:29 pm

MollyL

I was thinking about him earlier today Trif. What a gangbusters way to turn 21.

5:29 pm

Soodle

Lol, ztrif. Auspicious!

5:29 pm

Trifioso

what takes out green beer vomit stains?

5:30 pm

MollyL

At least SOMEONE knows how to properly celebrate The Day.

5:31 pm

MollyL

Rule Number 1 Of Turning 21: Momma no longer cleans up after your puke fest.

5:31 pm

Trifioso

In other news: valentine is having dinner tonight with his ex wife. Im trying not to obsess, but ITS HARD

5:31 pm

Soodle

I'm ashamed. And happy for Son of Trif. And unconcerned about the puke.

5:32 pm

crosshair

do not know, trif. I select carpet colour based on the shade of hairballs our 3 cats like to puke up. seems easier that way

5:32 pm

Trifioso

I have no intention of cleaning it up! Just wanted to know

5:32 pm

Trifioso

good to know crossy, ta

5:32 pm

Soodle

May she have the slightly out of date seafood Trif....

5:33 pm

Trifioso

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

5:33 pm

MollyL

*Ties fingers about the Valentine/ex wife dinner*

5:33 pm

Trifioso

I am SO IN LOVE with you right now, soodle!

5:33 pm

Trifioso

I told him to make sure he calls her ElizaBeth.

5:35 pm

Soodle

It's a tricky old time for you, Trif, but I have no doubt he will be so happy to come home to you.

5:36 pm

Trifioso

we don't live together soodle

5:36 pm

Soodle

Yet..........

5:38 pm

MollyL

Oh crap...unties fingers...it's St. Patrick's Day...he should be spending it with the Irish woman that he loves...kill me now

5:39 pm

Trifioso

His son is in town, Molly....they are all getting together, it's a nice thing.

5:40 pm

Trifioso

actually, funny you should say that. He is getting ready to move apartments, and tertiare said "why doesn't he just move in here?" and when I answered "we are at that stage yet honey." She rolled her eyes, said "adults! Jesus!" and flounced out of the room. It was SO FUNNY

5:41 pm

Soodle

Out of the mouths of babes......

5:41 pm

Trifioso

Im not really ready either

5:44 pm

MollyL

Ah, I must have misunderstood the "I'm trying not to obsess" comment.

5:44 pm

Soodle

Well, my opinion, for what its worth, is that life is short. If you get a shot at happiness, go for it.

5:44 pm

Trifioso

no, Im obsessing even though it is a good thing

5:45 pm

Trifioso

I agree soodle, but I am a package deal

5:46 pm

Soodle

I'd rather be sorry for something I did, than for something that I didn't do. With apologies to Kris Kristofferson for misquoting him.

5:46 pm

Trifioso

again, for the most part I agree, but I feel I must be very, very careful here, for all our sakes.

5:47 pm

stidgmere

All for now here. Not finished, but done. Enjoy your St. Patrick's Day!!

5:48 pm

Trifioso

you too stid!

5:48 pm

MollyL

I'll take the other road on that one. I've been sorry for something I did, really sorry. And that kind of damage can last a long time. Nothing wrong with proceeding with caution.

5:48 pm

Trifioso

in other news - is anyone here watching the new series of Cosmos? I am SO HOOKED

5:51 pm

Soodle

Trif, I've been single now for almost 7 years. Yes, there have been a few dalliances, but, nothing or nobody I would consider a 'keeper'. I have fallen into a very nice pattern, where I am master ( or mistress) of my own destiny, and I'm very comfortable with that. Maybe I'm just kazy.

5:51 pm

Soodle

Lazy!

5:52 pm

Trifioso

sounds perfect to me, soodle! I love that valentine of mine, but I like my private time too, and my time with my girls. They will be grown and gone soon enough.

5:55 pm

crosshair

I have yet to see the new series, but wish to check it out asap

5:55 pm

rururocks

I am almost never sorry for anything :D

5:55 pm

Trifioso

crossy, you will fall into it like a rabbit down a hole. it's great.

5:56 pm

crosshair

Nat Geo was airing the original series with carl Sagan a week or two ago:)

soodles is "Invictus" and the captain of her soul:)

5:57 pm

Trifioso

I can't quite believe Fox is airing it here in the US....feel certain they are getting all SORTS of hate mail from those who are convinced the earth is only 6000 years old

5:58 pm

rururocks

yeah.. those are the same people who buy tea bags but don't use them to make a beverage

5:59 pm

crosshair

everyone who mails in a complaint now gets, at no additional charge, the full set of Darwins works in a deluxe tooled leather jacket set!

6:00 pm

Soodle

Not only is Soodles captain of her soul, but she is in charge of her home, her finances(God help us) and her heart. And has never been as content.

6:01 pm

Trifioso

rock ON soodle! I so want to be you when I grow up!

I can say, quite proudly, that I have almost paid off one whole credit card - the one that had Secondo's ticket to Australia on it. I'm pretty proud of myself, I must say

Alternately, I see a lot of words that aren't there.

“Picking five favorite books is like picking the five body parts you’d most like not to lose.”
― Neil Gaiman

7:23 pm

o-o

The quote is a non sequitur. It does not preclude having more than five favorite books ... while limiting the body parts.

Goood Evening, jes.

10:45 pm

jesdraggon

How goes, Nef?

10:46 pm

Nef

are you tonight (I'm just getting here, got 30 words last night between sleeping, now I return knowing this is another grid I won't finish!

10:46 pm

Nef

How about you?

10:47 pm

jesdraggon

i've got 42 left. no work tomorrow, cuz I'm taking Bruce to the dentist to get an estimated 4-5 hours of dentistry done. He'll be too drugged to drive himself home...

10:48 pm

Nef

YUK! (Well, for him, anyway; I'm glad you have the day off)

10:49 pm

jesdraggon

yup. looking forward to a relaxing day of reading in the lobby :)

10:49 pm

Nef

Just take some good reading material with you!

10:50 pm

jesdraggon

I've got about 150 unread books in my ereader :)

10:50 pm

Uneaixoise

just finished The Invention of Wings -- really good

10:50 pm

Nef

Good! :-) At least you have a good choice then!

10:51 pm

rururocks

like chicken wings?

10:51 pm

Nef

What's it about Une?

10:51 pm

rururocks

I'm guessing it is a flight of fancy nef :D

10:52 pm

Uneaixoise

based on true story -- Sue Monk Kidd -- two sisters in SC in early 1800s who became anti-slavery activists

10:53 pm

Nef

good answer, ruru.

10:53 pm

Nef

Where does the name come from, Une?

10:54 pm

Uneaixoise

I believe it's from a blackbird pattern used by one of their family slaves who was a brilliant seamstress

10:55 pm

Nef

okay, it sounds interesting to me....

10:55 pm

Uneaixoise

I listened to the unabridged audiobook -- very well done

10:56 pm

Nef

I always like to know where weird titles come from; some don't seem to have any connection to what the book is about these days

10:58 pm

Uneaixoise

Kidd's audiobook version of her "Secret Life of Bees" won Best Audiobook the year it was released -- fantastic narrator

10:59 pm

Uneaixoise

ok, back to finding my last 12 words :-)

10:59 pm

jesdraggon

i've heard secret life of bees was great, but haven't gotten around to reading it

11:00 pm

Nef

I've heard of that one, it's on my list to be read too.

11:00 pm

pida 1

The invention of wings is the story of an 11 yr old girl in the south, who was given a slave for her birthday, and the following 30 something years of their lives together

11:00 pm

Uneaixoise

the movie was NOT great but the audiobook WAS!

11:01 pm

Uneaixoise

pida, she was given the gift of a slave girl but in reality, the girl died soon after -- the story of Sara and her sister is very close to fact

11:02 pm

Uneaixoise

In any case, it's very well written and quite moving

11:02 pm

Nef

I'm going to bow out for now; trying to watch the new "Cosmos" and the 2nd episode just came on again (I missed it yesterday & earlier tonight)

11:03 pm
