Lizlin

Haven't been to SF since I was in my 20s.

12:54 am

rururocks

I give great tours of SF

12:56 am

Lizlin

It'd be good to get back to the West coast of the USA one day - as long as I can avoid LA airport! Nightmare place!

12:58 am

grannyrose

g'day liz girl. how are you holding up?

12:59 am

Lizlin

12:59 am

grannyrose

1:00 am

Lizlin

Was disappointed - will see if hubby knows how to convert the file.

1:00 am

Lizlin

He says that he will be able to do that.

1:01 am

grannyrose

don says he can convert it to a mov file.

1:02 am

Lizlin

So, whichever hubby does it first!!!

1:02 am

Lizlin

I'll look forward to seeing it.

1:02 am

rururocks

I hope Rose sent the right video..

1:03 am

Lizlin

That could be interesting.

1:03 am

rururocks

don't let the nurse outfit fool you liz

1:04 am

Lizlin

I thought that was just for Don

1:04 am

rururocks

Don stars as the helpless patient

1:05 am

Lizlin

Well, if that's the video, I'll forward it to you

1:05 am

rururocks

Nurse Rose: where do I ever hang this IV bag

2:55 am

sprite

hi sweetie *hugs* Yeah I think so. I slept like crazy yesterday. All afternoon, then to bed early and all the night through till now. Guess I had some catching up to do after that darn flu. How are you today? How was the St. Francis service?

2:56 am

worzel

Goooooooood morning fellow Babblers xx

2:56 am

grannyrose

2:56 am

sprite

grannyrose

Good morning Mum xxxxxx ((((hugs)))) xxxx kisses xxxx

2:57 am

sprite

2:57 am

grannyrose

lolol, that tickles...go and shave

2:57 am

sprite

Ks killed

2:57 am

worzel

hee hee

2:57 am

grannyrose

yay sprite....

2:58 am

worzel

Well this is a twisty little grid, I must say!

2:59 am

grannyrose

don and i turned up 45 minutes early. the vicar was already there...hanging balloons, putting out bowls of water, bbq fired up, putting out chairs....she never stops

3:00 am

sprite

wow some lady, rose. I bet she was happy to have your help.

3:02 am

grannyrose

don was more of a help. he set up the music and microphone. all i did was a bible reading. oh, and kerry who runs the playgroup had a table set up for the little ones, with face-painting, colouring.

3:02 am

sprite

brilliant. That way the parents can focus on the sermon for once. I love the idea.

3:03 am

grannyrose

some of the people just walked in off the street. they were out walking their dogs, and seemed to think why not?

3:03 am

sprite

well exactly, why not?

3:04 am

grannyrose

it was amazing. so relaxed. people sitting around munching on sausages in bread, sipping on cans of drink. the weather was beautiful, so it was all out of doors.

3:04 am

sprite

Jesus would have loved it too. Much more His style than churches.

3:05 am

grannyrose

one of our ministers said, most people don't have a problem with faith, just the vessel it's served up in. i so agree.

3:06 am

sprite

oh I couldn't agree more. I always say I am deeply religious. Just not a church person.

3:11 am

sprite

that wasn't supposed to be a stopper

3:11 am

grannyrose

sorry sprite. i'm still here, hun

3:12 am

sprite

:) Did I say something too weird there?

3:12 am

grannyrose

no, dear. it's lovely to know that we agree on yet another thing.

3:13 am

sprite

*hugs* I'll get my ass in gear and start checking out B&B places here next week. Stupid flu messed up my plans.

3:13 am

worzel

im here too lol - im busy making curtains so I'm stitching as I watch the chat lol

3:14 am

grannyrose

*giggle* yay for you worzel

3:14 am

sprite

very important for a home, curtains

3:15 am

grannyrose

how's great aunty diane?

3:15 am

worzel

I'm thinking that my real mum will be looking down on me (or up, depending where she went!!) and having a good laugh at my terrible stitching. Mind you it's the first time I've done it in nearly 30 years and I think I'm doing rather a good job!

3:15 am

worzel

Great aunt Diane is absolutely beautiful and wonderful as always I'll let her know you asked after her mum xx

3:15 am

sprite

let the machine do the work, just guide... that is all there is to it

3:16 am

worzel

and thank you for asking! xx

3:16 am

worzel

I don't have a washing machine

3:16 am

worzel

or a sewing machine pmsl!!!!!!!!

3:16 am

sprite

tell her hi from me as well, please

3:16 am

worzel

washing machine - hahahahaha

3:16 am

worzel

I will sprite xx

3:16 am

grannyrose

roflol....

3:17 am

sprite

you're stitching by hand? Lol, that will be a lot of meters for curtains.

3:17 am

worzel

right I need to go make a fresh pot of coffee to wake me up for the rest of my stitching I'll see u all in a little bit *mini-poof*

3:17 am

grannyrose

you threw me with that one, worzel. i'm sitting here going huh??? i thought he was sewing...

3:19 am

sprite

am rather glad I can't remember the time I had to do curtains by hand, lol.

3:21 am

grannyrose

ditto....i was just thinking, instead of trying to hide the stitching, why not make it obvious and become a part of the decor.

3:21 am

sprite

lol indeed

3:24 am

grannyrose

aacckkk!! it's only 7:30pm, and i'm yawning my head off. our clocks went 1 hour forward overnight, so we had an hour less sleep. we are both feeling the effects.

3:26 am

sprite

lol of course, you guys are entering spring. I hate the spring forward thing. Getting up before you are done sleeping, eating before you are hungry and going to bed before you are sleepy. Crazy stuff.

3:27 am

sprite

we will put the clock back where it should be at the end of this month. Much better.

3:29 am

grannyrose

brb, spasms in rib muscles

3:29 am

sprite

aww sweetie :(

3:30 am

mattygroves

Small grid! Good morning all

3:31 am

grannyrose

*gulping down magnesium tablet* i'm back!

3:31 am

grannyrose

g'day matty

3:31 am

sprite

hi matty! Yes it is. Rather twisty though.

3:31 am

sprite

wb my dear rose :) I hope the spasms will settle soonest.

3:32 am

grannyrose

thanx hun. they're the worst

3:33 am

sprite

I can imagine. Impossible to stretch and cajole into relaxing.

3:34 am

grannyrose

lolol....just how do you massage between the ribs?

3:35 am

sprite

exactly. Breathing is the only way. And guess what is cut short when the rib muscles cramp up? Right.

3:35 am

grannyrose

right!

3:45 am

mattygroves

I found I word I wasn't expecting - who knew that there was an actual word for that type of person

3:45 am

mattygroves

ritman

3:45 am

mattygroves

sorry

3:46 am

sprite

hehehe good one, matty

3:46 am

grannyrose

lol, almost matty. try a different starting consonant

3:47 am

mattygroves

Yep, that's my person I got - now just trying every other possible occupation :)

3:47 am

sprite

it means the runt of the litter, actually. You remind me of that cartoon of a tennis game, with a kid whose shirt says "ball boy". And a guy saying to him: "I am more of a leg man myself"

3:47 am

mattygroves

I like it Sprite!

3:48 am

sprite

:)

3:48 am

grannyrose

*giggle*

3:49 am

sprite

fireflies

3:50 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

3:51 am

sprite

thank you :) Not too hard a grid, but tricky in places. Lots of good words.

3:51 am

mattygroves

Cograts!

3:52 am

sprite

I hear my love is awake (again). *hugs* to you both. And to all a blessed day and a peaceful night.

3:52 am

grannyrose

hope you have a good day sprite. xoxox {{hugs}}

3:55 am

mattygroves

Sigh - think I need Lickety now (got 50 words)

3:58 am

mattygroves

Still, I got one 7 on my own - that's quite good for me :) Perhaps I shall shower (living the dream, I am)

4:46 am

crosshair

4:49 am

grannyrose

4:56 am

mattygroves

5:05 am

Lizlin

Thanks, Rose for both words.

5:05 am

mattygroves

Still looking for the second (I stroke or pet a cat, so desperately trying to think of what else I might do to it)

5:06 am

crosshair

5:06 am

crosshair

took me a minute as well

5:06 am

grannyrose

mattygroves

5:50 am

mattygroves

Thank you! How do you find these?!

5:50 am

grannyrose

ap6, not breathing, ap + not yes + first 2 letters of not west

5:51 am

grannyrose

5:51 am

mattygroves

grannyrose

5:52 am

Uneaixoise

howdy rose :-)

5:54 am

mattygroves

Hah! Did three loads yesterday - I've no more room to hang it! It'll take a year to dry :)

5:54 am

crosshair

Please--do not say laundry..it will hear you:(

5:54 am

grannyrose

well pop over here and do mine...lol

5:55 am

grannyrose

do you know that stuff breeds in the dark? it's insidious!

5:55 am

crosshair

It must!! I did 5 loads yesterday and did not even make a dent in what remains!

5:55 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, crossy. how frustrating.

5:57 am

crosshair

I did the math and there are 4 large gunny sack type bags remaining with 3 loads in each, so that's 12 loads and to do each sack at the laundro-mat from wash to dry is around 8 dollars. I miss having a washer and dryer on site:(

When you do not have your own machines, you do not drive 5 miles for one load you let a few loads add up. It is a pain

And now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!! This has been on the net for a bit now and i may have mentioned it before, but it is so interesting and something that the rest of the planet should pay attention to that it bears repeating-- Sweden is so efficient with its recycling program that it imports garbage for its energy program because it has used up all of its own.

7:05 am

rubyfoo

where an \I contribute? We produce more garbage than is possible for such a small household

7:05 am

Sciatic back, hip, leg pain...getting worse instead of better. No matter what I do

Oh, sorry.

9:29 am

Judi

Uh oh. Sounds like surgery might be in your future.

9:29 am

car.eeyore

Tried an exercise yesterday that was supposed to help...just hanging from a bar at the gym...no upper body strength so I couldn't hang on and landed hard on the ground, thus aggravating it even more.

9:29 am

hego

Hi Judi

9:29 am

car.eeyore

Judi! Sssssssh!

9:29 am

car.eeyore

Not to mention pulling my upper back muscles now

Gyms are dangerous that way! Have you tried an inversion table? I love mine.

Oh, my.

Had a horrible night sleep because Zack wasn't feeling well and was in bed with us...he's now 11 and the size of a small adult.

9:30 am

I don't think I can use them because of my vertigo

9:30 am

hego

Have you tried acupressure or massage?

9:31 am

car.eeyore

I had leg twitches in my thigh so bad during the night my leg was bouncing off the bed

9:31 am

Judi

What is the cause of all the pain? Ruptured discs? Arthritis?

9:31 am

car.eeyore

I am going to see my PCP this week...can't do anything until I do that. My dad, former doc and also sciatic pain sufferer, would like me to have an MRI to make sure there are no disc issues'

9:32 am

hego

good idea.

9:32 am

Judi

Yep. Get that MRI. Probably more than one problem going on.

9:32 am

car.eeyore

And, of course, I need to exercise to become stronger...which I cannot do at all right now. Vicious cycle.

9:33 am

car.eeyore

Now I have noticed, when I drop something, which I seem to do a lot lately, if I bend to pick it up, i get awful reflux and get very nauseous.

9:33 am

hego

I have that problem also.

9:33 am

car.eeyore

So, I think there may be a variety of issues going on

9:33 am

Judi

Yeah. I hear you on that one. I'm the same way. Everything in the exercise realm causes aggravation.

9:33 am

hego

Need exercise but it worsens pain, blah, blah, etc.

9:34 am

car.eeyore

Yes! Blah, blah, blah. That is how I feel at this point. So tired of it.

9:34 am

Judi

Chiropractic might help ... or make it worse.

9:34 am

hego

I did aquacise during the summer and that was great!

9:35 am

hego

And it reaaly was good exercise.

9:35 am

hego

and painless.

9:36 am

car.eeyore

OK. Thanks for the support and the input. I'm going to at least try to get the dishes done. Hubby is helping with the laundry. maybe I can get him to take out my dresser drawers and I can thin out my unused clothing.

Hey, people can support anything they want, but breast cancer is not the #1 killer of women or even #2...let's start support efforts to erase lung cancer and heart disease.

Good grief! I cannot put my thoughts in type properly today!

I'm with you today, crossy...better not actually speak to anyone today for fear of getting my tongue wrapped around my eye teeth so I can't see what I'm saying!

10:59 am

11:01 am

MimiCat

Tons of work today and not really in the mood...sigh. Glad for the work but this whole working 7 days a week is kind of getting to me.

11:01 am

rururocks

I used to work 7 days a week.. and now .. not any more

11:03 am

crosshair

Bank it while you can mimi!

11:03 am

MimiCat

I'm trying do as much as I can to earn now while I'm capable of working. Don't ever want to be dependent on anyone in the future. Since I'll probably be alone from now on, it's all up to me.

11:03 am

11:04 am

rururocks

that makes total sense Mimi

11:04 am

Stockpile that cash in good investments and simplify your life and you will be happier.

11:05 am

rururocks

I wish I could get paid to pun in babble

11:05 am

MimiCat

Already putting that in place with my financial advisor regarding the settlement money I just got, crossy. Not touching much of it now...letting it make money for me for later plus having an emergency reserve for now.

11:06 am

MimiCat

But, ruru...you'd go broke! :P

11:06 am

rururocks

emergency reserve is smart Mimi

11:06 am

rururocks

:D

11:07 am

MimiCat

I've already made many financial mistakes through the years, but now I have to get very smart and very serious as I've run out of time to make mistakes and regroup from them.

11:08 am

rururocks

yes.. but don't ever completely trust your financial advisor.. study up and see if their decisions make sense to you

11:08 am

crosshair

I no longer "keep up with the Joneses" and find that my simple pleasures keep me happiest. Books, music, jig-saws, walking the Bruce Trail we have here. Heck the computer I am on is one I rebuilt and its core is 8 years old:)

11:08 am

MimiCat

Absolutely, ruru. The one I have works for my bank and has a very strong background. He has also advised me NOT to use them for certain things saying I can do them less expensively elsewhere.

11:09 am

rururocks

11:11 am

12:20 pm

rururocks

I think I would have put him in his place

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

not worth it; he'll never change. And then he can be sweet as can be. I think he just has his own issues and takes them out on me

That is what he needs - a few home truths about pots and kettles

12:21 pm

No one every got angry?? Ruby was raised by robots? This is disturbing to know.

Elephants in the room that get ignored only grow bigger

12:26 pm

Judi

Well you were very fortunate then.

12:26 pm

I was very lucky. When I had the chance to go away to university, I decided to stay home and go to school locally

12:26 pm

Judi

Hey! Somebody get the elephant out of the Penalty Box. He's hogging the hot tub.

12:26 pm

MollyL

Wait, back up the Soul Train. Nice and loving homes are great. But there is always something to get mad about. Anger is a part of human nature.

Hiya Pen

2:18 pm

For things like bread or soup, I don't mind the extra work to make my own. When it comes to pumpkin, I'm happy to let someone else do the work.

2:18 pm

Love the smell of freshly baked bread!

2:25 pm

MollyL

I make pumpkin bread for Thanksgiving. It's kind of a religion in my clan to have that for breakfast on Thanksgiving morning.

4th vowel is the extra vowel.

2:47 pm

MollyL

Pen, it's tricky to cook in a slow cooker for one. You almost have to find recipes that you can freeze in portions.

2:47 pm

mkg

great clue pen.

2:47 pm

mkg

ty got both now.

2:47 pm

I don't cook chicken in a slow cooker, I find it gets too mushy for my taste. I do like it for tougher meats though.

2:52 pm

I just read an article with slow cooker breakfast recipes. They all sounded like they would be mush when they were done.

2:52 pm

penquis

i should try to do hearty soups....

2:53 pm

hego

Later!!

2:53 pm

Soodle

Fatted calf # 2 was cooked today. Roast chicken, stuffing, ratatouille, roast potatoes,gravy & broccoli, cos Son of Soodle loves broccoli!

2:53 pm

Some things, like oatmeal and eggs, just don't need to cook for 12 hours.

2:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

2:53 pm

penquis

sounds good, soodle....

2:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

don't most co4ers have timers?

2:53 pm

MollyL

I roast chicken with herb butter under the skin. It's very good.

2:53 pm

penquis

i agree, molly....

2:54 pm

penquis

i just want easy to make main courses or soups....

2:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

2:54 pm

ChampFit

I made an "unstuffed cabbage" recipe from FB in the crockpot, and it was awesome! Seasoned ground beef, cabbage, fire roasted tomatoes...hubby loved it!

2:54 pm

Soodle

No complaints here, Pen, so i count that as a result!

2:54 pm

crosshair

If anyone is interested in my Jamaican pulled pork slow cooker recipe you can email me and I will be happy to share. it is a favorite in this household:)

2:54 pm

penquis

ooouuu...champ, it sounds really good!

2:54 pm

MollyL

I have had that unstuffed cabbage Champ, it's very good.

2:55 pm

penquis

ty, crossy, i may do that....anyone have the unstuffed cabbage recipe?

2:55 pm

ChampFit

My MIL used to make the "real" version, so it was a nice surprise for my hubby. So easy this way.

2:55 pm

MollyL

Soodle, your dinner sounds divine. Son of Soodle is always well fed when he comes home.

2:55 pm

ChampFit

I can send it to you Pen.

2:56 pm

penquis

i am going to a Russian dinner this month....i am hoping that they serve cabbage....

2:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

2:56 pm

penquis

champ....i will try to put my email address in my profile for a few minutes....

2:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

actually, a lot rusty

2:56 pm

ChampFit

Will do it now...

2:56 pm

Soodle

Please do, Champ.

2:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

2:58 pm

Ah, Molls, Son of Soodle's a creature of habit. He expects a full monty dinner when he comes home & I'm only too happy to oblige! #IrishMammies

2:59 pm

rururocks

oh.. I can't say anything about that

3:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

here is the cia recipe from usa today:http://tinyurl.com/mjm8kcj

3:02 pm

ChampFit

Done! gtg...back later!

3:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty champ,pperhaps later some tips on sizes?recipe very loose ty

3:04 pm

MollyL

I suggest using the chicken stock instead of the water in that recipe. The flavor is much better.

3:05 pm

MollyL

There is a hashtag in front of Irish Mammies? Oh dear.

3:06 pm

penquis

ty champ and ty TO...

3:06 pm

penquis

i love those sticky notes on this new computer!...

3:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

thr lsck of proportions in the recipe for a dish i have never made is a deal breaker.

3:08 pm

MollyL

What proportions do you need? The can sizes?

3:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes and the size of the head of cabbage

3:10 pm

MollyL

I usually assume that unless a recipe says "large head of cabbage" that it calls for a medium/normal sized head.

3:11 pm

MollyL

For a pound of ground beef, a 15oz can of tomatoes would be sufficient. As for the tomato sauce, that is a matter of how thick you want your dish. A small one for thick, a larger one for runnier.

3:12 pm

penquis

i would think that a bit more or less would not make much of a difference in a slow cooker recipe...

3:12 pm

MollyL

And yes Pen, slow cooker recipes are kind of open to interpretation.

3:13 pm

penquis

and i was referring to the amount of cabbage...

3:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty. i will see if everyone can eat cabbage and if so i will try it.

3:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

so you serve it with or over rice?

3:19 pm

crosshair

penquis. I sent you an e mail

3:21 pm

penquis

ty crossy!

3:21 pm

3:24 pm

crosshair

we are indeed, cybernan

3:24 pm

penquis

ty, crossy...

3:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

molly, is the cabbage dish served over rice?

3:27 pm

MollyL

Yes TO, served over rice.

3:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty. rice is big in ths house.

3:28 pm

penquis

ty for asking that, TO...:o)

3:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

grr, yahoo mail is not working properly .

3:28 pm

cybernan

tried a new one from a friend for puff pastry: 4 cups flour, 1 pound butter or marge, 1 cup club soda. Makes enough for 120 hors d'ouvres. Can be frozen. Made the full batch last night -- froze half and made the other 2/4 into brie & fig jelly filled hors d'ouvres and sausage rolls. Bake at 400F for 10 min (hors d'ouvres) - a little longer for full size sausage rolls. I par-cooked the sausage first.

3:28 pm

MollyL

The original stuffed cabbage is a meat/rice mixture stuffed into a rolled cabbage leaf.

3:28 pm

penquis

sounds yummy....but i don't do anything involving flour....too much work for me...

3:29 pm

MollyL

Frozen puff pastry is my friend.

3:29 pm

crosshair

ty cybernan I needed a good pastry:) Crossy love sausage rolls:))

3:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

too chicken to try puff pastry.

3:32 pm

cybernan

This one is easy, TO -- just mix and knead with hands until texture is consistent, then roll out 1/4 of the full batch at a time

3:33 pm

cybernan

*When thawing, let dough come to room temp before rolling it out

3:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

that club sode must add lightness

3:35 pm

crosshair

noted, cybernan. I think sausage rolls will soon be on the menu:)

3:35 pm

cybernan

I think so

3:35 pm

MollyL

It does TO. I have a biscuit recipe that calls for club soda and they are very light.

3:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

i keep seeing "aperitif"

3:37 pm

3:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

3:42 pm

penquis

3:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

3:43 pm

MollyL

All new recipes go on a notepad file until I have tried them. If they are good, I add them to my recipe file.

3:43 pm

Hello penquis! How are you? I di my laundry yesterday. It was a very rainy day so stayed inside and got things done

Hello MollyL! How are you? Have not been here all week.

6:01 pm

Minveryork

One day last week there was a small puzzle. I babbled incognito in middle of night when I had insomnia.Then I forgot to enter the last word later that night! Was so mad at myself!I remembered when I woke up next day

6:06 pm

MollyL

Min, you have to get out of that habit of not entering your last word.

6:08 pm

Minveryork

It was the first time ever where I forgot to enter last one

6:10 pm

Minveryork

I guess it did not affect my ranking too much. I am at 914 which is good for me since I never complete grids&I don't babble very much during the week anymore.I'm too busy.

6:10 pm

MollyL

The middle of the night is a good time to play Babble incognito : D

6:11 pm

Minveryork

Yes, it was like 3:30 a.m. I did not even look at the chog,

6:12 pm

MollyL

Better that way, trust me.

6:13 pm

I better not forget to enter my last 2 words tonight Molly

rururocks

7:07 pm

rururocks

7:07 pm

MollyL

I'm glad Denver won today because tomorrow night is going to be a blood bath

7:08 pm

rururocks

you mead the "rouge skins?"

7:08 pm

rururocks

mean

7:08 pm

MollyL

And just so it doesn't go without saying, it is always a bad idea to pull out too early

7:09 pm

rururocks

LOL

7:09 pm

phandmd

I am hoping for a surprising upset tomorrow night!

7:09 pm

rururocks

<----choking

7:10 pm

phandmd

Look I realize the chances are very slim, but surpising things happen all the time!

7:11 pm

phandmd

7:11 pm

rururocks

7:13 pm

rururocks

gurgle.... no wine?...accccck

7:13 pm

phandmd

from, Ru?

7:16 pm

rururocks

I was kind of hoping Alex Smith would do better.. in the oddest way I really admire him as a player.

7:18 pm

rururocks

*imagines Molly with a brown bag.. sitting on the sidewalk*

7:20 pm

MollyL

Yes, that's me. The slumming it girl.

7:23 pm

phandmd

no worse than walking down the road with a brown bag...

7:26 pm

rururocks

yeah.. especially over ones head

7:29 pm

phandmd

well, I guess that's all for me.

7:29 pm

rururocks

you finish phan? congrats

7:44 pm

Nef

Good Evening. It looks like I've missed a good chat a bit ago….

7:44 pm

Bugsaw

Hi Nef. I just got here and it is good to see a friendly face

7:45 pm

Nef

Hi Bugs; How are you doing tonight?

7:46 pm

penquis

hi nef....long time no see...hi bugs...

7:46 pm

Bugsaw

I am doing well thanks. Another lovely fall day

7:46 pm

Bugsaw

hi penquis

7:47 pm

Nef

Hi penquis, how are you tonight?

7:47 pm

penquis

ok, thanks....you?

7:47 pm

Bugsaw

How are you and yours Nef? I do hope all is calm today.

7:49 pm

Nef

well, pen, between DH "ruining" another vacation (2 hospitalizations in the past 6 weeks) and a road trip (without DH) to see my siblings; it's been kind of crazy here;

7:49 pm

penquis

oh wow....how is DH now?

7:50 pm

Nef

I've been here a couple of times but didn't chat or even start to do the grids just because too much thinking involved.

7:50 pm

penquis

i hear ya...

7:51 pm

Nef

He's better again. When a person is immune-suppressed; simple things can have bad effects.

7:51 pm

Bugsaw

My stats were working their way up for a while until I had a couple of days like that and forgot to finish the grid because it took too much thinking

7:52 pm

Bugsaw

I am sorry about DH's hospitalizations.

7:52 pm

penquis

i don't pay attention to mine....used to finish via lickety and i am sure that ruined my stats...

7:53 pm

Nef

Luckily, the urine infection was caught early enough that he did pop back quickly; but the gall bladder issue was such a puzzle (he had atypical chest pain)

7:53 pm

Bugsaw

I have decided to become less anal about it too penquis. My days are more full now.

7:53 pm

penquis

same here....

7:53 pm

Nef

gosh, I don't even pay attention to stats anymore.

7:54 pm

Nef

I should look; I bet I'm not on any of the charts now….

7:54 pm

stidgmere

Nobody told me this was a thinking game. No wonder I'm in the basement!

7:55 pm

Bugsaw

Hi stidgmere! Long time no chat!

7:55 pm

penquis

lol...

7:55 pm

stidgmere

Was away for a little visiting my relatives in California. Great change and sooo happy to be back in the great Northwest.

7:56 pm

Nef

Hi stidgmere! How are you doing?

7:57 pm

penquis

well i am off.....want to watch Resurrection without distractions....bye all!

7:57 pm

stidgmere

Doing just fine Nef. Gearing up for doing indoor projects for the fall and winter that I've put off. Also trying to put some order in our house. It looks more and more like a house with way too many catalogues and magazines.

7:57 pm

crosshair

good evening everyone:)

7:57 pm

Nef

It's always nice to go; but even better to come home; right?

7:57 pm

Bugsaw

I hope it was a good trip. I have an American cousin in California but I have never been to see her yet.

7:57 pm

Nef

bye pen! HAGD!

7:58 pm

penquis

hi and bye crossy...

7:58 pm

Nef

hi crossy!

7:58 pm

penquis

ty....*waving*...

7:58 pm

stidgmere

Right! I'm going to play some games with Murphy. He likes to play at sit, down, crawl, and so on. Bye to all.

7:58 pm

Bugsaw

Bye pen and hi crossy

7:58 pm

crosshair

howdy nef and tc penquis

7:58 pm

crosshair

howdy bugsaw

7:58 pm

Nef

niters, stidg!

7:58 pm

Bugsaw

bye stidge. Say Hi to Mr Stidge for me please

7:59 pm

crosshair

tc stidmere

7:59 pm

crosshair

funny, I never noticed the g in her name all these years lol

8:00 pm

Bugsaw

she is the grandmere of the stid family

8:00 pm

crosshair

tc stidGmere

8:00 pm

Nef

crossy, I had to check out your icon close up! I thought you had a picture of a caterpiller with something on it's back!

8:00 pm

crosshair

life is funny..

8:01 pm

crosshair

no, that is a First Nation drawing of a spirit wolf and my favorite icon

8:01 pm

Nef

So I noticed once I enlarged it

8:01 pm

crosshair

:)

8:03 pm

Nef

you never saw the G before crossy? Wow; as long as you 2 have been here (but maybe you don't "see"each other because you're on at different times

8:03 pm

crosshair

I tired a number of different wolf icons during my babble tenure and this one won out over all the others

8:03 pm

crosshair

tried

8:04 pm

Bugsaw

the Nuu-cha-nulth people consider the wolf a guardian. He is doing well for you crossy

8:04 pm

crosshair

He has been my guardian for just over 22 years now.

8:05 pm

crosshair

actually 23 years

8:06 pm

crosshair

had to look that one up. west coast they are:)

8:07 pm

Nef

I don't know much of anything about the Canadian First Nations…. :-(

8:08 pm

Bugsaw

They are on the west coast of Vancouver Island. My daughter-in-law and grandkids and Nuu-chah-nulth. They were great whalers

8:08 pm

Nef

But I do feel that Canada gives more respect to them than the US gives to our Native Americans

8:08 pm

Bugsaw

Not as much as they deserve though Nef. Racism is still pretty strong here.

8:09 pm

Bugsaw

It is very sad.

8:09 pm

Nef

I understand; it's pretty bad here too.

8:09 pm

crosshair

My godmother is First nations and it is an honor. My own mother passed in 1991\ We can never say to them enough times how sorry we are. it will take many lifetimes to make up for past wrongs

8:10 pm

Bugsaw

From which people is your godmother, crossy?

8:11 pm

crosshair

That i do not know. Bugsaw. it has been a dacade since I last saw her, but her family has been in the Nippising area of ontario near algonquin park for many genarations. i imagine her people would of been tof those from that location

8:11 pm

crosshair

decade

8:13 pm

Nef

I agree that it will take many lifetimes, crossy. But I don't know if we can make up for past mistakes; but until we start respecting them now I don't think we'll ever make up for the past

8:13 pm

crosshair

As a child i remember her making me pike cakes for lujch. She would spend hours picking the tiny bones out of the snow white meat and make battered cakes out of it for us.

8:13 pm

crosshair

lunch

8:14 pm

Nef

Wow. Pike cakes? those are really bony fish!

8:14 pm

crosshair

They are, the bones are many and so small. I have never had the patience for it

8:15 pm

crosshair

I have only ever done catch/release when i get a pike

8:16 pm

crosshair

But, she had the skill to make the substandard or plain into a wonder.

8:16 pm

Bugsaw

She is from proud people then. Probably Anishnabe. They used to be Objibwa but apparently they called themselves Anishabe. The story is the explorers asked their neighbours who lived over there and they called them the Ojibwa so that is how they were know for generations. Now they are reclaiming their name along with their pride. I love that story.

8:16 pm

Nef

Yeah, my uncle would always throw them back and only bring home walleyes.

8:16 pm

crosshair

mm, pickerel

8:16 pm

Nef

(sorry, on phone)

8:19 pm

Nef

the Ojibwa were also in Minnesota

8:19 pm

crosshair

In the last 20 years a lot of work has gone into restocking lake Nippising with pickerel:) One year alone 50,000 fingerlings were placed in the lake and there was one point where fishing was banned for 4 years to allows things to come back somewhat to the way it used to be. it was a great achievement. that lake was fished very heavily from the early 60's into the 90's

8:20 pm

Nef

We knew them better as Chippewa here

8:20 pm

Bugsaw

They are a different people altogether Nef

8:20 pm

Nef

do people really eat the pickerel/ pike?

8:21 pm

crosshair

oh yes! both are very tasty

8:21 pm

crosshair

but pickerel moreso than piuke due to the cleaning issues/bones

8:21 pm

crosshair

pike

8:22 pm

Nef

Bugsaw, the Chippewa aren't the Ojibwa? I'm confused I think...

8:22 pm

crosshair

that particular lake also gets bass and brown trout on occasion

8:23 pm

crosshair

there is a lake near Bangcroft where you can fish for mukelunge:)

8:24 pm

crosshair

Thing are basically freshwater sharks of the north:) They scare the crap out of me when i hook one and I am in a little aluminum boat at the time

8:24 pm

crosshair

muskelunge*

8:25 pm

Nef

Crossy, aren't pike and muskies both considered part of the pickerels?

8:26 pm

Nef

They are related, right?

8:26 pm

crosshair

i think there is a relation there, but unlike pike, muskies can remove your fingers faster than a saw and can often weigh tween 40 and 75 pounds

8:26 pm

Bugsaw

I stand correctly Nef. thanks. I just learned the chippewa is another Anglicized version of Anishnabe that is mostly used in the USA.

8:27 pm

Bugsaw

I was thinking of the Chippewayan people. My mistake and I learned a new fact.

8:28 pm

crosshair

In lakes that are known to have muskies we do not trail our fingers in the water while canoeing !

8:29 pm

Nef

I just was looking that up myself, Bugs. I've always known that Minnesota had Sioux and Chippewa tribes, I was starting to wonder if I had the wrong tribe there.

8:30 pm

crosshair

I get easily confused with the different tribes so will leave you two to organize it:)

8:31 pm

Bugsaw

There are lots of Sioux people too. Lakota, Dakota etc

8:31 pm

Nef

Very true about the muskies, crossy. I do know that we never used the right kind of bait to catch muskies when I was young; they required much stronger line and bigger bait if we really wanted to catch them

8:32 pm

crosshair

I used to use 30 pound Trilene test with a 3 foot steel leader and a #4 Mepps. heavy duty gear all the way

8:33 pm

Nef

LOL, I'm just easily confused about LOTS of things; so what am I doing trying to figure out First Nations and fish at the same time?

8:33 pm

crosshair

lol

8:34 pm

Bugsaw

lol Shutting up now so I can finish too Nef.

8:34 pm

Nef

We didn't have heavy fish line, crossy; (I think we couldn't afford to lose any! We would fish with bamboo poles as kids; I only remember my uncle having 1 fishing rod and reel)

8:34 pm

crosshair

lol, sorry i pulled you both out of the grid, but yakking with me can have that effect. You never know where the converstaion will head.

8:35 pm

crosshair

it is part of the crossy charm!

8:36 pm

Nef

LOL,crossy!

8:37 pm

Bugsaw

no arguement about charm

8:37 pm

crosshair

awww..shucks... Well I have classes tomorrow so i will bid you both a good night and happy babbling!

8:38 pm

Nef

Niters, crossy

8:53 pm

Nef

could I please have the stats for the lower F? It's invisible to me

8:54 pm

8:55 pm

Nef

Thanks tor. I'm slow tonight

9:03 pm

torgone

9:07 pm

Nef

How are you tonight, for?

9:22 pm

torgone

I am well. Just got back from Canada yesterday. Work tomorrow. Life goes on.

9:26 pm

Nef

I hear you. My sister & I took a 1 week road trip out to Montana to see our siblings; my older sister had rented a cabin right outside the west gate of Glacier National Park and the 6 of us really had a nice visit. It was hard to come back; but we really pushed hard & --- I needed 5 days to recover! :-)

9:27 pm

Nef

(I SO needed a break from everything; I was getting burnt out!)

9:29 pm

torgone

I still need a break. My trip was for work.

9:31 pm

Nef

How long was your trip? (I do understand; a work trip is tougher than a personal trip)

9:32 pm

torgone

13 days, but I did get a little down time.

9:33 pm

Nef

YOWSER! That was a LONG business trip!

9:43 pm

torgone

A did get the weekend off in the middle, and it was a nice place, so it was not terrible.

9:43 pm

Nef

Which area were you in, for?

9:44 pm

Nef

TOR. (sorry, spellcheck doesn't like me )

9:47 pm

torgone

Sidney BC, near Victoria

negativeneil

Hi Min and Nef.

11:10 pm

Nef

hi neil. I haven't seen you in a long time!

11:10 pm

Nef

(probably because I don't hang out here as much anymore)

11:10 pm

negativeneil

Yep. Been kept very busy. And away a lot, too.

11:10 pm

negativeneil

Well me either... for a looong while.

11:11 pm

negativeneil

Have a little more time now, before I start my course up in San Francisco at Dev Boot Camp.

11:11 pm

negativeneil

Hope you're well?

11:13 pm

Nef

I am well; have been too busy for too long. But things should get better in a month or so

11:13 pm

Nef

what is Dev Boot Camp?

11:15 pm

negativeneil

A school where I'll be studying an intensive 3-month crash course, to become a web developer and create cool things. And get a much higher-paying job with my certification, when it's over.

11:16 pm

negativeneil

I've already been learning to code in Ruby on my own, with the help of books and online tutorials, over the past few months.

11:16 pm

negativeneil

I've been experimenting with a boggle game.

11:17 pm

Nef

OH! A Developers' Boot Camp! (My mind was going Dev+ deviant; devils,

11:17 pm

Nef

etc.

11:17 pm

rururocks

make sure you go to the right "boot camp" in SF neil

11:17 pm

negativeneil

Haha! Yes. No devils... that I know of. :P

11:17 pm

rururocks

11:17 pm

negativeneil

There, anyway.

11:17 pm

negativeneil

11:17 pm

11:21 pm

11:21 pm

11:23 pm

Nef

Good for you, ruru

11:24 pm

negativeneil

Yay, ru!

11:24 pm

negativeneil

But what else is new?

11:24 pm

negativeneil

I was there earlier, but didn't see you.

11:24 pm

negativeneil

Jeez. All this rhyming. :P

11:25 pm

Nef

you've been practicing, neil

11:25 pm

negativeneil

Practicing what, Nef?

11:27 pm

Minveryork

Hello Neil! Long time no see!
Welcome to Babbleland with Nef and me.
Good to see you, but I have to go.
Must get up early to make the dough.

11:27 pm

Nef

rhyming (from the looks of it)

11:28 pm

Nef

LOL WTG, Min! (Sleep well)

11:28 pm

negativeneil

Haha, Min! :D

11:29 pm

negativeneil

And no, Nef. But guess it's in the genes... my Dad is a poet. And short story writer.

11:30 pm

Nef

:-) I was teasing; but - maybe it is in the genes then

11:30 pm

negativeneil

Could be?!

11:34 pm

Nef

My DH's parents were divorced and he didn't see his Dad from the age of 2 or 3 until he was 38. When we met his father; they rubbed their eyes in the exact same strange way (so who knows what's genetic and what isn't?

11:36 pm

negativeneil

Oh wow. That's sad... they wouldn't even have known each other. Yep, who knows? It's interesting.

11:38 pm

Nef

His dad died about 6 years later; they did get to know each other fairly well. But the very odd way they rubbed their eyes (kind of rubbing both eyes back & forth several times and then round and round then back & forth -- with both index fingers only!

11:40 pm

negativeneil

Aww. That's even sadder... they only knekw each other for less than 10 years in total, and his dad missed him growing up. And he had to grow up without a dad. :( But yeah... that eye-rubbing thing sounds kinda odd?

11:41 pm

negativeneil

"knew", even.

11:43 pm

Nef

oh, Man! I was going to stay up for the flip; but I'm tired and suddenly feeling it.
When I rub my eyes, if I use both hands I rub in and out mirror -image like. Not them they'd rub both eyes to the left, then the right, then left & right &left and right and then around clock wise at the same time. I'm very observant of things & it was really weird seeing them

11:47 pm

Nef

SOrry I'm such a bore tonight, but I'm too tired and am afraid of falling asleep & falling out of my chair.

11:47 pm

Nef

Good Night All. Happy Babbling
