12:49 am

VolleymomDee

I just added that one to my queue the other day

12:49 am

5:52 am

Cats got me up at 05:00 and it is not quite 7 am and my beloved is still abed.:)

5:52 am

crosshair

but we are both doing well:)

5:53 am

sprite

ugh, too early. Glad your love is still asleep :)

5:53 am

crosshair

We have one cat that chews on my fingers when i am asleep to inform me that he would like some breakfast

5:53 am

sprite

lolol! Oh those cats...

5:54 am

crosshair

if I put that hand under the covers, he will go for my oher hand. if I bury that hand he will lick my nose.

5:54 am

sprite

priceless :)

5:55 am

crosshair

When the kitten was younger he would sit on my chest and groom my beard

5:55 am

sprite

hehehe how cute

6:02 am

sukee

Good morning, I'm here for about 10 mins :)

6:03 am

sprite

hey sukee :) Good stuff planned?

6:03 am

sukee

Just the gym :)

6:03 am

sprite

oh very good :)

6:04 am

sukee

Had a scare when getting my laundry, got light in the head and felt like I was going to pass out.

6:05 am

sukee

Don't know if I inhaled something.

6:05 am

sprite

did you bend down or stand up quickly?

6:06 am

sukee

Nope.

6:06 am

sprite

how is your blood pressure?

6:06 am

sukee

It was okay last time it was checked. I got a buzz in my head :)

6:08 am

sprite

worth checking up on, I think. Might be as simple as a shortage of some vitamin or something.

6:08 am

sukee

Yes, I hadn't had breakfast. Came back up and drank an Ensure.

6:09 am

sprite

ah, there you go. Low bloodsugar could do it.

6:10 am

crosshair

I always keep a bit of fresh fruit around for the morning when my sugars are low. That way i can eat some peaches, relax, wake up a bit before worrying about rattling pans in the kitchen

6:10 am

sukee

I felt fine before though. Oh well it was a short period.

6:11 am

sprite

I go downstairs, take my meds, bring up two apples and sit down to babble.

6:11 am

Sugrraleona

sukee, not sure of your age - and don't want to scare, but if you have not had a check up lately, please go to the doc - sometimes a little dizzy spell can mean a small heart thing - just saying . .

6:11 am

sprite

hi sugrr

6:12 am

sukee

I just had a full check up about 2 months ago.

6:12 am

Sugrraleona

hi sprite

6:12 am

lbdawger

gm, everyone! fun grid. tadone!

6:12 am

Sugrraleona

6:13 am

sprite

hi dawg, it is, and wtg!

6:13 am

sukee

I'll take it easy at the gym.

6:13 am

6:15 am

sukee

Well, time to go get ready. Take care all.

6:15 am

sprite

ugh, same here, it has become so cold all of a sudden. The old bodies have trouble adapting.

6:15 am

sprite

take care, sukee

6:17 am

lbdawger

take care sukee. yes to the old bodies slow acclimation to the weather. it's currently 1°F and I'm sure there's a windchill but it's still bloody cold!

9:41 am

Trifioso

9:46 am

Trifioso

I wonder.....would anyone notice if I just HID for the rest of the day?

9:47 am

Trifioso

pity...enable has no love for Rotel tomatoes.... food of the gods

9:48 am

crosshair

Enable is an enigma:)

9:49 am

crosshair

i think of it as having a life of its own;perhaps with a touch of evil malice:)

9:51 am

crosshair

Gave two of our kitties a bath yesterday with some Aveeno oatmeal bath sachets... the youngest cat tried to escape and clawed my wrist open in 4 places... the wounds make it look like i tried to off myself lol

9:51 am

Trifioso

I like the evil menace part...

9:52 am

Judi

Good morning all!

9:52 am

crosshair

howdy judi

9:53 am

bichon

ty car

9:53 am

Judi

Egad, Crossy! How dirty could those cats be?

9:54 am

crosshair

Not dirty per se, but they have been scrating some and have raised scabs on their skin. They are indoor cats so no fleas or the like.

9:54 am

crosshair

I just wanted to ease their itches

9:55 am

Judi

Ah. Dry skin, maybe? Perhaps a fish oil supplment might help.

9:55 am

crosshair

also have some benadry topical spray. I do not know the cause of thier itching just yet though

9:55 am

crosshair

Bebadryl

9:55 am

crosshair

darn

9:55 am

crosshair

cannot ype today

9:55 am

Judi

lol. I know what you mean.

9:55 am

crosshair

crossy waves the surrender flag to the keyboard

9:56 am

Judi

Please! For everyones sake!

9:56 am

crosshair

Will just let you interpret:)

9:57 am

crosshair

All three cats are itchy:(

9:58 am

Judi

Hmm. Strange. Change in food? Maybe a bad batch of food?

9:58 am

mkg

hi all. any clues for the 8 out there and the stat?

9:58 am

Judi

I'm not aware of any contageous skin diseases among cats.

9:59 am

crosshair

mm, Think not. This has continued on through two different purchases of food and they get Iams, not cheap food..:(

9:59 am

crosshair

if it continues much longer i shall have to get a loan and let a vet look at one of them

9:59 am

Judi

Very mysterious. A call to the vet is in order.

10:00 am

crosshair

$$$.. big money

10:01 am

Judi

Pffth. Believe me. I know. Online research might yield the answer.

10:01 am

crosshair

I think I can get the vet to peek at one for a gen exam for $85+tax.. so a 100 dollars for a look see

10:01 am

Judi

Not quite as expensive here. An office visit is about $50.00. Treatment extra of course.

10:01 am

MollyL

Wow, that is expensive. Especially for people with more than one pet.

10:02 am

crosshair

sadly, the net is a overload of info;everything from skin rashes, to scabies, to dozens of deadly or life threatening illneses.

10:03 am

crosshair

I am guessing the vet will have to do a skin scraping and pop it under the microscope

10:05 am

crosshair

did you dress the puppies up for the studio pics?

10:05 am

rubyfoo

She did one of Ruby (RIP) and one of Ruffino and absolutely caught the essence of each

10:05 am

Judi

If they are all indoor cats, it would seem like it would have to be something environmental or something they all ate or are eating. Otherwise, something they are all getting bitten by.

10:06 am

rubyfoo

She used watercolors and colored ink

10:06 am

crosshair

Well, i only need to get one diagnosed at least. the treatment for all three will be the same no doubt

10:08 am

Gotta restart the computer. Calculator keeps popping up. May be something to do with the cat spilling my coffee on the keyboard earlier. Oy. Be back in a few....

mine was really old, from the 40s, in a small cabin. Like to do it where I am but the cost is too prohibitive not to mention the building permits

3:15 pm

mo

do you have to pay for improving your building?

3:17 pm

saanichcat

Yes, it is a log cabin on two acres by the ocean on the west coast of BC, self-contained, so I pay for every improvement, sigh. Now back to finish up here, it has been great sharing experiences with you!

How was thanksgiving? What did you cook. (Make my mouth water...)

10:16 pm

rururocks

I didn't cook much.. my lovely SIL did all the doing

10:17 pm

rururocks

I made a simple carrot dish with carrots cooked in chicken stock with grilled shallots, nutmeg, thyme and reduction of the chicken stock. Came out nicely. my Nephews are fussy eaters

10:18 pm

SpellCheck

Sounds interesting. I wouldn't think to pair carrots with nutmeg, but it probably tastes yummy.

10:19 pm

rururocks

it was really good. Do you have a Pensee's (sp?) down your way.. I got my nutmeg there.. really fresh

10:19 pm

rururocks

and they have the BEST cinnamon EVER.. from Viet Nam

10:20 pm

rururocks

I saw a recipe on MSN and thought .. gee that sounds light, and flavorful and EASY

10:20 pm

rururocks

my nephews actually ATE some.. I was shocked

10:21 pm

SpellCheck

I do mail order from them. I ordered their Ceylon cinnamon last time.

10:21 pm

rururocks

what did you veggies do for T-Day

10:21 pm

SpellCheck

How old are the nephews...

10:21 pm

rururocks

I like the Vietnamese cinnamon.. it is incredible

10:22 pm

rururocks

they are 19, 23, 25..

10:22 pm

rururocks

the youngest is the most like me

10:24 pm

SpellCheck

We had a gardein Holiday roast as our "turkey." I made red cabbage (cooked with apples, vinegar, brown sugar), mashed cauliflower, mashed yams, cranberry sauce, cumin-braised Brussels sprouts, salad, and a KILLER stuffing with roasted poblano peppers and corn - southwest flavors

10:25 pm

rururocks

that sounds good

10:25 pm

rururocks

I taught my SIL how to make Amaretto crusted yam casserole

10:25 pm

SpellCheck

I'll try the Vietnamese cinnamon next time I order (if I remember).

10:26 pm

rururocks

totally veggie

10:26 pm

SpellCheck

Now that sounds good. Share the recipe?

10:26 pm

rururocks

you won't regret it or ever buy another

10:26 pm

SpellCheck

The nephews sound too old to be fussy.

10:26 pm

rururocks

sure. I can write it up. Do you have my email address?

10:27 pm

SpellCheck

Nope...

10:28 pm

rururocks

they ARE too old to be fussy.. they are spoiled rotten.. they won't eat anything green.. (except the youngest).. they won't eat any vegetables, except Corn, and carrots. It's unbelievable. I told them that the world doesn't revolve around Pizza

10:28 pm

rururocks

i'll post it in my profile and then delete it ok?

10:28 pm

SpellCheck

Especially since pizza only exists in NYC.

10:28 pm

SpellCheck

Sounds good. Tell me when to look

10:29 pm

rururocks

it's there.. let me know you have it and I'll delete it

10:29 pm

SpellCheck

Got it

10:29 pm

rururocks

I'm a Chicago pizza guy myself

10:30 pm

rururocks

drop me a note and i'll type up the recipe .. it's easy and delicious .. got it from Cuisine or Silver Palate cookbook as I remember

10:32 pm

SpellCheck

WRONG!. That is soooo wrong.

hey Doren.. how was the show?

10:48 pm

rururocks

10:49 pm

Dorens

show was good... This very talented girl can channel Janis Joplin. Ball and Chain, Piece of My Heart, Summertime..... it was cookin!!

10:49 pm

rururocks

I like the Silver palate.. recipes.. but you have to flavor them up a bit as many of them are a little bland

10:49 pm

rururocks

I saw Janis in person as a teenager Doren.. that's how freakin' old I am

10:50 pm

Dorens

Just got in, down to 6 so I guess I'll finish.
we used to pick stuff up from their shop sometimes and bring into Central Park for concerts...

10:50 pm

rururocks

actually Big Brother and the Holding Company

10:51 pm

Dorens

She is the reason I have my kids.. I had seen her (we went to NYU) and then Wayne had great tickets for another show a few weeks later so I deigned to go out with him. 6th row center and i swear Sam Houston Andrews was looking right at me during that whole concert.

10:52 pm

rururocks

oh.. isn't that something

10:52 pm

Dorens

just loved janis....

10:52 pm

rururocks

I saw her at the Fillmore. I still have the poster

10:53 pm

rururocks

She was amazing

10:53 pm

rururocks

that's for sure

10:53 pm

rururocks

did you get the recipe Spell?

10:53 pm

Dorens

fillmore east, and some college auditorium, can't remember who I saw her at Fillmore with. But I do remebe her!!

10:54 pm

rururocks

mine was Jim Kweskin and the Jug Band and Big Brother was the headliner

10:54 pm

Dorens

ta 6/27 please?

10:54 pm

Babs1

heard a good NPR interview with someone who travelled with her and just published book...sounds like she had lots of insecurity issues even though people loved her..

10:54 pm

SpellCheck

Thanks for the recipe ru. Sounds great. I'll let you know after I try it.

10:54 pm

rururocks

I was like 13 or 14

10:55 pm

You guys are making me feel sooo young. Which is refreshing after spending the afternoon with a 26 yo

10:55 pm

Babs1

anybody do any recipe posts on the Babble FB page?

10:55 pm

Dorens

I was 18. well, Babs, she really was picked on in high school. Not a pretty girl, and quite the misfit

10:55 pm

rururocks

great. I think you'll like it.. you can add a little orange zest too if you like that.. makes it a tiny bit bitter though

10:56 pm

rururocks

I don't do facebook babs

10:56 pm

Dorens

I'm on my countdown to 65 spellcheck... One month from tomorrow.

10:56 pm

rururocks

oh my god.. you're a capricorn

10:56 pm

Babs1

yes...sounds like when she went to her 10 year reunion she was expecting to be better received and wasn't

10:56 pm

SpellCheck

I've been putting Satsuma mandarins in my cranberry sauce... nice twist.

10:56 pm

Dorens

ty for ta

10:57 pm

rururocks

lime and lime zest are great with cranberries too

10:57 pm

SpellCheck

Congrats Dorens. Medicare yay!!! I turned 50 this year. Looks like many of babblers are hitting milestones this year.

10:57 pm

Dorens

hey lme and lime zest are great period

10:57 pm

rururocks

I love mandarin oranges

10:57 pm

rururocks

I hit 60 this year

10:57 pm

rururocks

head on..

10:57 pm

Babs1

almost in my 7th decade here

10:57 pm

Dorens

or did 60 hit you?

10:58 pm

rururocks

I hit it and it has since kicked me in the ass

10:58 pm

Dorens

good job Babs, I have decided today that I intend to get there too

10:58 pm

rururocks

you didn't answer my diet coke question doren :D

10:59 pm

rururocks

I hope to make it to 70.. .otherwise there are going to be really big shoes to fill around here

10:59 pm

Dorens

which question? I bought it to serve. Certainly not to drink. But it makes sense to have it in the house.

10:59 pm

rururocks

that was the question :D

11:00 pm

Dorens

i have evolved. No need to try to manipulate or change.

11:00 pm

rururocks

ah.. that's good of you.

11:00 pm

Dorens

Of course my first instinct is to revile the stuff and talk about how unhealthy it is.

11:00 pm

rururocks

I'm not taking him to Per Se however :D

11:00 pm

Dorens

but each to his own, I always say. (for the lasst two months perhaps)

11:01 pm

Dorens

oh God no, that would be such a travesty.

11:01 pm

SpellCheck

Is evolution a function of aging?

11:01 pm

rururocks

that was my read on it too

11:01 pm

Dorens

it is in this case. Sort of a natural progression of things. And a conscious effort to repair, heal, improve when I retired from work

11:01 pm

rururocks

hmmm good question spell.. I think that evolution and wise-ness go hand and hand

11:02 pm

rururocks

I was going to commit myself to a monastery when I retire

11:02 pm

rururocks

Rurumonk will be my new call name then

11:03 pm

SpellCheck

Ha! Not buying it.

11:03 pm

rururocks

*tries on orange robe for size*

11:03 pm

Dorens

well some sort of commitment might be in order

11:03 pm

rururocks

*shaves head.. lights incense*

11:03 pm

SpellCheck

Orange... oh, you were talking prison.

11:03 pm

rururocks

11:04 pm

Babs1

I'll invite you to the ashram I go to in India then

11:04 pm

Dorens

ru in an ashram.........scary vision

11:04 pm

rururocks

rusachitnanda doren :D

11:05 pm

Babs1

maybe with a little more evolution first

11:05 pm

rururocks

India doesn't interest me .. too poor a country

11:05 pm

SpellCheck

asceticism and ruru... not a combination I would put together

11:05 pm

Dorens

and lousy wine

11:06 pm

rururocks

I'm going to be a special monk

11:06 pm

Dorens

and done.... night folks, and hasta la vista
well special, yes ru

11:06 pm

rururocks

night ms. D.. you rest well

11:06 pm

Babs1

so, what does satchitananda mean...ruru...just checking

11:07 pm

Babs1

without looking it up in Google

11:07 pm

rururocks

it's some kind of peace greeting I think in Indian

11:07 pm

rururocks

jai satchinanda is the term I think

11:07 pm

Babs1

not quite

11:07 pm

Dorens

i'm hoping to.. sat night i slept four hours, sunday two 1 1/2 intervals, last night 2 hours.

11:07 pm

rururocks

god.. I hope that changes Doren

11:08 pm

rururocks

I had a few friends in Cults Babs.. and they use to say that to me all the time.. I wanted to smack them on the head and tell them to shut up

11:08 pm

Dorens

it will.. tapering off the prednisone started today.... from 60 to 50, tomorrow 40, etc.

11:08 pm

rururocks

that's pretty rapid isn't it..

11:10 pm

rururocks

jai sachidanand is the term.. means something with god

11:10 pm

rururocks

go with god.. be with god.. etc

11:10 pm

Dorens

yes it does sound rapid, but he thinks it should be fine... and with a bp of 200/98 I'm all for it....

11:10 pm

Babs1

well..won't explain then -- rather not be accused of being cult like nor wanting to get smacked in the head :-)

11:10 pm

rururocks

shoot the sh** with god..etc

11:11 pm

rururocks

LOL Babs.. never

11:11 pm

rururocks

that's probably right doren.. but your breathing may change no?
