4:21 am
grannyrose

looking forward to seeing what you put in your profile. i enjoy a good laugh, and yes, dear, the colours suit you beautifully.
4:22 am
worzel

Well I've done a wee profile already but I shall of course update it and expand it. Then I shall have to find a way of putting up pictures - oh the fun of it all!!
4:23 am
grannyrose

and she is gorgeous!!! tell me, are all the diane's over there blonde?
4:23 am
grannyrose

you use flicker to put photos in your profile.
4:24 am
worzel

I don't know any other Dianes but I don't think Diane Rigg is blond. Oh hang on, she's Diana not Diane - d'oh silly me. As for flicker i'm a total numpty technology wise but I am going to find out later today from Diane how to do it so you shall see more of me as the days progress (you poor people!!)
4:26 am
grannyrose

well there was the lovely princess di...and i work with a fantastic english woman, called diane and.....she'd blonde. and has the most amazingly wicked sense of humour.
4:28 am
worzel

Yes, Princess Di, but again she was a Diana not a Diane, of course. Seems to me that there are more Diana's than Diane's. Also Rose is a beautiful name. We used to have a programme over here called Keeping Up Appearances and the four sisters were named Hyacinth Daisy Rose and another flower which slips my mind at the moment
4:29 am
worzel

violet!!!
4:30 am
grannyrose

lol, funny you should mention that show. my mother always said i was daisy, and i called her hyacinth
4:31 am
worzel

that tickles me that does because my ex sister in law was called Rose and although being a lovely person she was something of a Hyacinth herself. And fancy saying you're Daisy - that's just mean!!!! lmao!!!!
4:31 am
worzel

is Don like Onslow then? (joking, Don!!)
4:32 am

body shape, yes, but clear as all get out. and a non-drinker
4:32 am
grannyrose

sorry, please read *clever*
4:34 am
worzel

I've got to the age now where my body shape is a given fact - I used to fret about it but then again I guess that's the shallowness of youth. Now I'm an old fart I realise I'm happier looking like I do at 43 as I was when I was worrying about what I looked like at 23!!

Well, I guess I should get out of my lazy bed (it's 9.40am here) We have a little gap of sunshine poking through and I have (more) weeds also poking through so whilst I have the opportunity I should go get the little devils!! Mum once again I can never thank you enough for your amazing gift xxxxxx

and now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!!. Have you ever had to write an application paper for a college or university? If so, you know the feeling of doing one of these, of sweating every phrase, nuance or intended meaning, of pouring your creative soul into those blank pages , until, you think that it should shine with its own inner force. You feel like you have leaned over those snowy white pages and held out your arm and opened up a vein. With that in mind , here is the most interesting application paper that I have seen in a long time!

10:37 am

10:37 am
hego

I saw that Dose.
10:37 am
rururocks

hadn't thought of that
10:37 am
rururocks

you have to wait for Bruce to grind?
10:37 am
hego

I never miss Big Bang.
10:37 am
hego

Shut up Ruru.
10:37 am
MollyL

She grinds without disturbing him?
10:38 am
rururocks

I try to never miss one when they come up either hego
10:38 am
hego

hmmm.. wonder what he meant.
10:39 am

10:40 am
rururocks

10:40 am
hego

10:40 am
rururocks

maybe Jes NEEDS bruce to grind
10:41 am
hego

I can believe that.
10:43 am
hego

must go...bbl
10:43 am
rururocks

bye heg
10:44 am
hego

bye....
10:45 am
jesdraggon

because the grinder is loud, and would wake him otherwise.
or, yes, i need bruce to grind, but last time I went that direction you told me it was too much ;)
bye, hego!
10:46 am
MollyL

?? Are you grinding the coffee in the bedroom ?
10:46 am
rururocks

you could grind it the night before.. does it really make that much difference?
10:47 am
rururocks

*items on Jes' nightstand" Massage oil, tissues, lip gloss, coffee Grinder*
10:48 am
rururocks

I can't imagine having to wait for someone to wake up to have coffee .. yikes :D
10:49 am
MLFAN17

can anyone tell me stats for the two d words on the 5th column are?
10:49 am
rururocks

i'll shut up now
10:50 am
MollyL

Mine is ground and brewed before I hit the kitchen in the morning.
10:50 am
MLFAN17

ruru sometimes my husband tries to entice me with coffee if i am not up yet lol
10:50 am
rururocks

I was just thinking my cappuccino making days are over for now..
10:51 am
MLFAN17

why ruru?
10:51 am
rururocks

I have mine set.. but I don't set the timer. I just push the button. I think it would be better to have it preset to brew
10:51 am
MollyL

da6/27 and da6/36
10:51 am
jesdraggon

I usually do grind it the night before, but got distracted last night.
10:52 am
rururocks

oh.. tell me more ? :D
10:52 am
jesdraggon

no lip gloss for me, ruru - I don't do makeup. And tissues? that's wasteful; we have a pile of towels :)
10:52 am
MollyL

There is something wondrous to waking to the smell of freshly brewing coffee
10:53 am
rururocks

how'd I do on the massage oil?
10:53 am
rururocks

I agree molly ..its the BEST smell in the morning
10:53 am
MLFAN17

DA 6/27 clue please and thank you Molly:)
10:53 am
jesdraggon

I've got a basket of different scents, plus some lotions :D
10:53 am
rururocks

AH HA
10:53 am
MLFAN17

ruru i agree with you and Molly
10:53 am

Mental note: NEVER volunteer to do Jes's laundry
10:54 am

10:55 am
MLFAN17

10:56 am
rururocks

<---does the laundry
10:56 am
rururocks

doing the laundry is NOT a big deal
10:57 am
rururocks

ya dump it in.. you drop in soap and you push a button
10:57 am
MollyL

I agree. It's not like we are with washboards down by the river.
10:57 am
jesdraggon

heh. sure, but then he hangs it to dry, and folds it, and puts it away... and all while I'm at work so I don't have to deal with it when I get home.
10:58 am
rururocks

I wonder if women who washed by the river spun to do the spin cycle
10:58 am
rururocks

he's a keeper jes
10:58 am
jesdraggon

He's good to me. :D
10:59 am
rururocks

11:15 am

Picky picky picky.
11:16 am
rururocks

Dragging myself away to do some laundry, etc. etc.
11:21 am
jesdraggon

But South Park says to blame Canada
11:31 am
rururocks

I never really have watched South Park.. but I think the creators are hilarious
11:32 am
jesdraggon

Bruce is watching it all from the beginning...
11:33 am
jesdraggon

so there is lots of south park in my life right now
11:35 am
jesdraggon

we are planning to go see Book of Mormon this summer :)
11:40 am
rururocks

me too
11:40 am
rururocks

I'm going in May to NYC
11:41 am
jesdraggon

maybe we'll see you there?
11:41 am
jesdraggon

oh, well, no...we're going to Seattle
11:42 am
rururocks

I have a deal with my friends.. they get tickets to the show and I buy dinner. I couldn't afford the tickets on my last trip to NY.. as the day of tickets were over $700
11:42 am
jesdraggon

egads
11:43 am
rururocks

I think they are more like $250 for great seats if you order ahead
11:43 am
jesdraggon

still... ouch
11:44 am
rururocks

that's not bad for Broadway.. I really am looking forward to it. really only done one show and it was simply amazing.. Broadway is the best.. anywhere
11:45 am
jesdraggon

yeah... but $500 for tickets, and the same for flights there, and then hotels and meals and ....
11:45 am
jesdraggon

I'm too cheap for Broadway
11:46 am
rururocks

that was the problem.. my hotel room was so expensive .. I didn't feel like blowing more money
11:47 am
rururocks

so I met up with Doren and we had lunch in Central Park that was just as much fun
11:48 am
jesdraggon

that does sound fun
11:49 am
rururocks

it was.. a beautiful day.. we had lunch at the boathouse on the lake in the park and just chatted for hours
11:50 am
rururocks

we babblers have a lot in common.. it's really easy to talk once you meet other players.. there are so many things we're all interested in in the same ways
11:50 am
dcseain

That's true about meeting in person, ruru, very true. :)
11:50 am
rururocks

Doren is out here next month.. we're doing dinner with KJE and her "le Boyfriend"
11:50 am
jesdraggon

today in south park we le5 to hide our emotional problems with math problems... :D
11:51 am
jesdraggon

I dunno, ru... I can't imagine talking easily to you, you're so difficult to get along with...
11:51 am
rururocks

well.. I try to be nice jes.. and more accommodating in person :D
11:53 am
jesdraggon

even more in person? is that even possible?
11:54 am
rururocks

yep..we'd meet someday jes if I could ever figure out where Chewbaka is in Washington :D
11:56 am
jesdraggon

middle of nowhere, really... though if you ever come to Spokane you should let me know
11:57 am
rururocks

Oh I will.. sometime this year. I have to go to Walla Walla to meet one of my wineries this spring
11:58 am
jesdraggon

meet a winery? I thought a winery was a business...
11:59 am
rururocks

I represent a great Washington winery and need to go up and see them.. and walk the vineyards etc
12:01 pm
jesdraggon

Spokane's still 2 hours from Walla Walla.... unless you're flying in and driving to WW from Spoko?
12:01 pm
rururocks

yes.. that's the closest I can get. I don't like driving through the Gorge from Portland
12:02 pm
jesdraggon

but that's my favorite stretch of highway in the state! it just BEGS for driving fast :)
12:03 pm
rururocks

it's beautiful.. but I prefer a straight shot to Walla Walla..
12:04 pm
jesdraggon

well, works out for me then, cuz I can meet you for dinner or something in Spokane :)
12:05 pm
rururocks

okay.. maybe that will work out. I'll probably spend a day and a night in Walla Walla and then come back to Spokane. we'll see.
12:05 pm
jesdraggon

excellent :)
12:06 pm
rururocks

maybe i'll stay one extra night in Spokane and fly out in the morning.
12:10 pm
jesdraggon

I'd offer hotel recommendations, but I usually just stay at my brother or Bruce's friends' house.
12:14 pm
rururocks

I know the hotels
12:16 pm
Judi

Back for a brief stretch while my veggies sa5.
12:17 pm
jesdraggon

welcome back, Judi :)
12:20 pm
jesdraggon

huh. how did I miss the ne6?
12:22 pm
Judi

A little bird didn't inform you.
12:22 pm
jesdraggon

I guess! but you'd think that word would be obvious, since I spend so much time trying to convince people to do it...
12:23 pm
Judi

Most people aren't inclined to ne6 themselves. ;-p
12:24 pm
jesdraggon

nah, but it would be good if the ne'd their cats!
12:24 pm
Judi

True. Then again, some people should be ne6ed.
12:25 pm
jesdraggon

indeed; sadly I haven't the authority to push that. I do think it would be good to off low-cost vasectomies though....
12:26 pm
Judi

Gotta agree with that one.
12:27 pm
jesdraggon

I heard there was someone a while back going to low-income areas and offering to pay for people's tubal ligation or vasectomy if they wanted one. This somehow pissed off a bunch of people.
12:28 pm
jesdraggon

I'm mostly pissed nobody ever offered to pay for one for me, cuz I'd absolutely have taken them up on it!
12:28 pm
Judi

But free birth control is perfectly fine, as long as the government is paying for it. Oy.
12:29 pm
jesdraggon

well, unless you ask the Catholic Church or Hobby Lobby...
12:29 pm
Judi

Veggies are done. Now I can take a brief nap with the cats before I have to go out and run few errand. I'm out of wine!!
12:29 pm
jesdraggon

enjoy! give the kitties skritches :)

Good for you cross! I have a question: what did they provide for the dippers to warm up afterwards?
2:41 pm

there was a warming hut with propane hear and thick fluffy housecoats at the ready
2:42 pm
crosshair

heater
2:42 pm
Nef

My daughter has done this for 5 years now; they've always had a hot tub after the dip; but this year when it was way below zero with a wind chill of -20(F), they had a "steam tunnel" without heat!
2:43 pm
Nef

TPTB said the hot tub "wasn't sanitary" this year!
2:43 pm

well, we all just sat in the warming hut, wearing fluffy robes and drinking hot beverages
2:45 pm

were all back in shape and ready to get dressed again in 20 minutes
2:46 pm

that sounds better than what she had to do. She said they ran through the "steam tunnel" and toweled off and got dressed and she went home to warm up; no hot beverages (I don't think they've ever offered that); when I saw her on her way home her hair was frozen and her lips were blue; she said she had no feeling in her toes either

very true, welki. we finished eating a bit after 9; and then thought about going and doing something else. We sat in the hotel lobby while I checked what was going on in town for entertainment; but after finding some things that started at 8PM, I looked up and noticed that DH was worn out ; so I told him that everything we would have liked to do started earlier and we came home.
I think that that was a good idea; he's still pretty worn out from that

for a special dinner and an evening out, I do not consider 200-300 out of the range of reality. for our 20th , as my babbler friends know, we did that sunset dinner cruise aboard the R.M.S Segwun steamship. was very memorable.

Crossy, all we did was eat. A dinner cruise would have been nice, or a supper show or something, but (even though we talked and enjoyed each others' company) 3 hours for a meal without any extras? I guess the price and time were worth it (maybe); I just was amazed at it.

dice then scoop most of an avocado out...squirt just a bit of lime juice in the shell and set aside. Mix 1cup favorite rice mix ( I used minute rice multi grain medley) 1 roma tomato diced with the avocado fill the shells, top with feta cheese and bake 375 about 12 min. I put them in pyrex custard cups
3:12 pm

It's the 2nd time in 39 years we've gone that "fancy" like that; for our 35th anniversary we went to a small town on the Mississippi River and stayed at a B&B and had dinner there and it was cheaper!

BTW, welki, I just reread my posts, I sound like I'm whining; but the truth is it was very nice. I'm just surprised about the cost and time. And the time shouldn't matter since I was with DH and we TALKED, right? :-)

okay, so I guess there is enough moisture in the other ingredients to swell the rice. ( I have never used instant rice.... just jasmine or basmati.
3:22 pm

you cook the rice before mixing it with the other ingredients?
3:22 pm
smores

no ... you have to cook the rice first....jasmine would be good. Sorry, guess I should have specified 1 cup cooked rice
3:23 pm

crossy, you are so right. I was Executor of his dear Aunty Jean's estate; and while she didn't have much and there wasn't much fighting; her remaining older sister called once while I was gone and tried to get some things that were left to us informally AND the mantle clock of their parents (which Aunty Jean had left in her will to my DH!) DH was going to give her the clock and I had to be the one to say No.
3:30 pm
crosshair

my son, comes after the mrs, and since he is an only child, I forsee no problems in that regard.
3:31 pm

and NEVER, EVER, EVER, leave anything informally. they are fighting tooth and nail to get MIL's jewellery and they are all guys!

DH can't get life insurance or even those cheap "no physical required" policies because of his MS; so we decided to make plans for pre-paid funerals now. I do have life insurance, so it won't be too tough on him; but if he should die suddenly, I might be in a pickle trying to pay for the funeral costs even if it's a cheap funeral and burial.
3:34 pm

yes, smores, sometimes it is a blessing. thank god there were no heavy duty investments or houses or property involved
3:35 pm

my folks and my aunt and uncle who raised me had nothing and I didn't get anything either (never expected it, so I was lucky that way too). Aunty Jean didn't have much of anything, and she didn't leave anything to her older sister because the older sister was always telling Jean that she should throw stuff out. Besides, that sister had money and Jean didn't
3:41 pm
Nef

crossy, Aunty Jean was creamated (as were her mother and her oldest sister (Jean had lived with them their whole lives); but it still cost around $2500 for cremation, burial of the urn, and all of the various fees etc. (and this was back in 2011)
3:41 pm

only member of our family that had money was my grammys sister and her and my da hated each other. she died a spinster and left all her money to a home for wayward cats.

3:45 pm

We took Aunty Jean to the family plot up in a very small town where she (and the family) grew up. Very little cost there; the cemetery manager came out about 1/2 hour before the family gathered , dug a 4 foot hole, and put the urn in after. He used a post hole digger to do it!

very good, Kap. :-) I think it cost less than $50 to bury Aunty Jean.

What is the system called, then the non designated keepsakes need to be dispersed? My brother numbered everything of Mom's and we all chose in turn ( being 5 of us ) I was eldest and chose first, and then not again until #10. It worked beautifully.
3:47 pm

Just a head's up to people who wish to be cremated, you should mention where you would like your ashes scattered. And do a little research because there are very specific laws about where ashes can be scattered and where they can't.
3:48 pm

i learned the hard way, that if it is not down in the will, they will dispute everything. lawyer fees will eat it all up
3:48 pm

that sounds like a good plan, diane
3:48 pm

there are indeed, molly, both sets of the remains we have have a numbered certificate and that information must be used when making application to scatter the remains
3:55 pm

Molly, when my dad was cremated, we discovered that. He wanted his ashes scattered in a specific river at a special place he always went fishing at. My BIL worked in the BLM at the time and it was quite an involved process to do it.

heck, typos are how I get some of the weirder ones
4:36 pm

very true, smokes. I find some words that way too; but if I'm looking at the grid and not checking for typos, I "think" I got a lot of the words but have goofed instead
4:37 pm

okay. AND then there's Spellcheck screwing me up I did type SMORES; but it doesn't like that
4:38 pm

I've found (in the past) that I can get spellcheck to accept odd spellings just while I'm on a page for that one time. I haven't found a permanent fix yet
4:43 pm
MollyL

Usually, something that has spell check has a dictionary and you just add the word to your dictionary. I don't know what kind of device you're using and how it works, though.
4:44 pm

I'm on a Mac. I don't know how it works either! ;-)

it's underlined in red, all right; but there isn't an "add to dictionary" choice on the menu, welki.

4:56 pm

my son still has a little Mac orange laptop (one of the first ones I think). But the power cord is obsolete; he thinks that if he could find aone the old machine would still work (But I did tell him it's no longer supported anymore)

stid, do you have a fever? If so, you definitely should not be around others (and I know you know that). I do think it's necessary to take sick days when you are sick; as a teacher, you can make many others ill if you are still that sick
5:23 pm
Soodle

Wow. I'm going to have to devote a whole day to viewing your website Stidmama. It looks super.
5:23 pm

how did you make that meat loaf and how did it taste, peri? (I just can't imagine that at all)
5:23 pm

it is a wonderful site, Soodle.
5:24 pm

I do have a fever, of course I caught this from my students (a lot of the teachers have it right now)... but today is the only day it is not well controlled with OTC meds. I have things arranged at the moment -- I can have Tom drive me to school later and set things up just in case I have to call a substitute for tomorrow.

I used to make a lovely red lentil loaf when the boys were little, peri -- I don't know if I still have that recipe though. Haven't made it in years. Although the loaf itself was fairly dry, a nice tomato sauce over the top was a great complement.

6:17 pm
jaxx7

It took me 5 hours to make that card. needless to say, I gave up and continued today, finally finished at 5pm. I made the mistake of choosing an appropriate decoupage that had so much cutting out that it took all day.
6:18 pm
lil*monkey

I still don't have either D word from far-right column
6:19 pm
lilliann

i don't cut out decoupage anymore because of my arthritis, which is why i love it when it is die cut.well it was late/early when you went off.Let's hope he appreciates all your hard work:)

I only have 1 from that d lil, but not sure what it is

Lilliann, I am a pastor and today just drained me so I am near exhaustion and my brain just will not cooperate with the rest of me
6:33 pm
Minveryork

I am so bummed that my printer decided to croak on me after I spent over $100 ink. I have a lot of useless ink.
6:33 pm
lilliann

Neither is babble Jaxx!! :( i don't do alot of colouring and stamping now but i do have Pro markers and Specctrum noirs so it is easier as they are thicker
6:33 pm
jaxx7

Try selling it on E-Bay
6:34 pm
lilliann

We all know that feeling Button:) I hope you have a good rest
6:35 pm
Buttonman

thanks
6:35 pm

I have just bought Joanna's latest which is Jayne Netley Mayhew Digistamps. Beautiful and I should think perfect for you as you could leave them black and white.
6:35 pm
Nef

Min, we have the same problem. And (of course) there isn't a printer that uses our ink cartridges for sale now; so we had to buy new ink and printer.
6:36 pm
jaxx7

I was answering Min about her ink. :)
6:36 pm
Nef

lilli, I think Jaxx was telling Min to try selling her ink supply on eBay
6:37 pm
jaxx7

Yes, I was
6:37 pm

It's not all about you, L : P
6:37 pm

I'm doing some chip board butterflies to go on my wall aswell as some chipboard photo frames and i'm colouring them with my spectrum noirs and then stamping some flowers onto them and then putting guilding flakes onto them
6:38 pm
jaxx7

They sound lovely
6:38 pm
Minveryork

I did think about selling the ink on either craigslist or e-bay. Does craigslist do little things like ink? tried to sell my car on craigslist. First time ever posting on CL
6:38 pm
lilliann

Oh, sorry!:P to Molly and yes, Min, i agree with jax, sell them unless you get another printer which will use the same cartridges
6:39 pm
jaxx7

Can you get Gumtree in the States. They do swaps as well as buying and selling
6:39 pm
Minveryork

Also found a nice couch on Craigslist that bought as well.
6:40 pm

I must look up Gumtree
6:40 pm

When I had the same problem, I used my inks in a part-exchange with the computer tech who came to sort my PC out.
6:41 pm

That sounds dodgy - don't get excited Molly. He gave me a dsicount on the repair bill

Dorens

far right
7:33 pm
lilliann

ahh and you are 64?? Get out of it!!i hope i look as good as you when i get to your young age:D
7:34 pm

well lil, i look young, that's true... but about thirty pounds beyond what used to be too heavy for me!
7:34 pm
lilliann

Sorry, that sounds awful, but i still think you look great
7:34 pm

Sorry for telling everyone your age..

Majority of us get bigger as we get older....

not a problem... i tell everyone my age myself - nothing to be ashamed of... i've earned the years and the wisdom that came with them (not that i'm that wise)
7:36 pm
crosshair

true words indeed, lillian
7:37 pm
Minveryork

Thanks Dorens for being discrete about my identity. I told other babblers who I was.I've been curious about previous babble meet-up pictures so I understand the curiosity. It is always nice to put a face with a name.
7:38 pm

Dorens and I have freely posted our ages in our profiles.
7:38 pm

hi all. any clues for the i word bottom corner i? i thought i had it but i dont.
7:39 pm
Dorens

oh i agree min... somewhat saner to know what these people look like... spending years chatting and thinking you know someone but no idea of how they look.
was just telling my friend from high school who i'm bunking with the night that i dine with kj and ru about them. and he doesn't really understand how we know each other...
7:39 pm
mkg

oops sorry. i do have it. ouch.
7:39 pm
Minveryork

Don't understood why we're ashamed/embarrassed to say how old they are. Getting old or older is a part of life. It happens to all of us no matter what.
7:39 pm
Dorens

same here
7:40 pm
mkg

ditto min. i am 66 and have always be proud of my age. i have accomplished a lot. i have had a good life. i have lots of kids and 18 grandkids. i am thrilled to be alive and mostly well at this age.
7:40 pm
