i also have been having a feast of downton abbey. gosh, maggie smith is priceless.
2:35 am
flosey

tv is downstairs - our house is built into the hillside so downstairs is open one side and front, back is built intothe hill
2:36 am
flosey

downstairs front is 1 bedroom and family room, back is spare room, laundry, freezer/storage, and stairway
2:36 am
grannyrose

lol...at the moment i would need a stair chair to get up and down.
2:37 am
flosey

haven'tneeded anything like that yet
2:38 am
flosey

might be awkward installing here, stairs come half way east, then a landing before they turn and go south
2:44 am
flosey

I watched one episode of D A - couldn't get into it - most of the Brits I know watch it
2:45 am
flosey

always liked Maggie Smith though
2:45 am
grannyrose

i have watched them all. i have the dvd's.
2:45 am
flosey

ah, so you can see quite a run of it - rather than one episode at a time
2:46 am
grannyrose

yes, it helps with the continuity
2:50 am
flosey

my brother (in Ontario) has promised he'll come out for a holiday sometime in the new year - probablySpring
2:51 am
grannyrose

oh lovely flosey. so nice for you. i think i remember he visited last year about the same time?
2:53 am
flosey

no, he hasn't been out for many years, he came while he was on honeymoon with second wife (first died, had been sick for a while, he was devastated - then heard from his old high school sweetheart- didn't take much!
2:54 am
flosey

she had lost her first husband a few years back
2:54 am
grannyrose

oh...i was mistaken then.. still nice to see him though.
2:54 am
flosey

could have been other friends from Ontario, some have been out off and on
2:55 am
grannyrose

one day you will be telling babble world i am there. i am very determined to visit you.
2:56 am
flosey

ah, probably when sons were out - they came at different times, one alone, the other with wife and son
2:57 am
flosey

yes Rose, I picked up some literature about our area to send to you
2:57 am
grannyrose

when i come over, i will probably need you to co-ordinate jilli and saan as well
2:58 am
grannyrose

oh, and crossy and elegant
2:58 am
flosey

before I leave this earth, I want to see all 4 kids and their partners and sons under this roof at the same time
2:59 am
grannyrose

lol....good luck with that...it seems mine are all very much pre-occupied with their lives.
2:59 am
flosey

they all come but at different times
3:00 am
flosey

both boys are still in Ontario, one east Toronto, the other north/west
3:02 am
flosey

Crossy is a bit north of Toronto - he and Elegant came down to meet me once as well as Joso - it was fun meeting them
3:03 am
grannyrose

oh, yes...joso too. any others?
3:03 am
flosey

Don't hear from Joso - he doesn't seem to be on anymore
3:04 am
flosey

in Toronto area a few - Kate (can't think of her last name, she's not on much either) lives west of TO, over Niagara way or maybe not that far west
3:04 am
grannyrose

yes, i know. i must email him. since moving in the his relations, his times have changed dramatically
3:05 am
grannyrose

darn...kate of course. my head is mush.
3:06 am
flosey

ah, I don't remember who he moved in with but it would make a difference - someone to talk to
3:07 am
grannyrose

they keep him on the move. he is keeping more 'regular' hours nowadays.
3:07 am
flosey

and another East of TO, name eludes me, teacher out Pickering/Oshawa way
3:07 am
grannyrose

wvteach?
3:08 am
flosey

don't think so, but drawing a blank
3:08 am
flosey

I draw lots of blanks these days
3:08 am
grannyrose

anyway....when i am planning the trip...i will put out an all points bulletin.
3:09 am
grannyrose

lololol....and why should i be the only one??
3:09 am
flosey

yes, get all the names and #s, they'll organize a get together
3:11 am
flosey

Kate had wanted to come to our meet-up with Joso and Crossy but there was something else, she was pushed for time - she'd have had to stay over - too much for one day
3:11 am
grannyrose

flosey...i thought it would be in 2 years time. but the state of my hips has to be attended to, dear. i am thinking it will be 3 years now.
3:12 am
flosey

we'll be looking forward to it Rose
3:12 am
grannyrose

* wriggles with pleasure*
3:13 am
flosey

lots of time to plan and organize
3:13 am
grannyrose

IF I WAS A PUPPY, MY REAR END WOULD BE A BLUR...
3:13 am
grannyrose

ugh.....sorry
3:13 am
flosey

lol, funny
3:14 am
flosey

but I really must get to bed - just past 1: am
3:14 am
grannyrose

sweet dreams my friend
3:14 am
flosey

*sigh* {{hugs}} dearest ruby. and g'day bojazz
4:40 am
bojazz

4:40 am
rubyfoo

{{rosie}} I have missed you each day and owe you a juicy letter
4:40 am
grannyrose

at the end of an extremely hot day. we are both exhausted.
4:40 am
rubyfoo

send some of that heat over here! Today it's a little bit armer but it's been in the 20'sF
4:41 am
grannyrose

ruby...i have to say thank-you so much for the books. already up to the last one. i loved the p d james sequel to pride and prejudice.
4:41 am
rubyfoo

sl5 describes my lovely baby girl dog
4:45 am
rubyfoo

and sl5 describes me
4:47 am
zoozzoom

Hello Babblers!
4:48 am
grannyrose

ruby, add sometimes vowel to doggy description for sl6
4:48 am
rubyfoo

{{zzoozz}} I haven't seen you since the year started! Happy New Year
4:48 am
grannyrose

hey ya zooz
4:49 am
zoozzoom

And a Happy New Year to you too, Ruby
4:49 am
rubyfoo

have to run, but will be back.....like any monster lol
4:49 am
grannyrose

xoxox ruby
4:50 am
zoozzoom

You are not a monster, Ruby, why do you think you are like that?
4:51 am
grannyrose

*sigh* my beautiful man has brought me an ice pack for my swollen ankle. it's so soothing.
4:51 am
rubyfoo

just kidding, I see too many movies where they shoot a bad guy but not enough, and he always comes back
4:51 am
zoozzoom

Have you been over doing it again, Rose?
4:51 am
rubyfoo

or even she (fatal attraction)
4:52 am
grannyrose

no zooz, our temp has been 104+ today.
4:52 am
zoozzoom

Oh I see, ruby..lol
4:52 am
rubyfoo

I can't imagine 104F
4:52 am
zoozzoom

Good grief that is rather warm...Hope you have lots of fans going.
4:52 am
rubyfoo

The only time I've experienced that was on a construction job in Mesa, Arizona
4:52 am
zoozzoom

me neither, Ruby!
4:53 am
grannyrose

zooz, i have spent the greater part of the day on the bed...a/c on, fans blowing.
4:53 am
rubyfoo

but I was much younger
4:54 am
rubyfoo

8woof*
4:54 am
zoozzoom

Yes I can imagine it being very uncomfortable, Rose. Surley the night time shall bring a slight relief?
4:54 am
grannyrose

lol....enjoy your day, ruby. xoxox
4:55 am
grannyrose

fingers crossed, zooz. cool change has arrived, but not a lot of variation. city center is a lot cooler, but the change moved much further west than where we live. we are on the edge.
4:58 am
zoozzoom

Crosses fingers for you too, Rose :-)
5:04 am
grannyrose

ta crossy
5:05 am
grannyrose

how is elegant? she wasn't at all well the last time we spoke.
5:06 am
zoozzoom

Errm I am zoozzoom, Rose :-)
5:07 am
grannyrose

ugh, sorry zooz. my poor head has been fried today...
5:08 am
zoozzoom

lol...no worries, ((Rose))
5:10 am
grannyrose

are you sure you two aren't interchangeable? would be very handy if you were....lol
5:10 am
grannyrose

then again...maybe not....
5:10 am
zoozzoom

Teehee!
5:11 am
zoozzoom

I do like bacon though :-)
5:11 am
grannyrose

there you go....we are all bacon fanatics.
5:11 am
grannyrose

maple syrup optional....
5:12 am
zoozzoom

lol
5:12 am
grannyrose

i had the most amazing roast pork sandwich yesterday....i thought i had died and gone to heaven. the crackling was done to a turn.
5:13 am
zoozzoom

I love shredded iceberg lettuce, quartered boiled egg,sliced & squared avacado and diced cripsy bacon salad..it is lush!
5:13 am
grannyrose

i swear....it was nearly an inch thick, dripping with gravy and apple sauce.
5:13 am
zoozzoom

That sounds yummy, Rose!
5:14 am
grannyrose

i don't care how you serve it....gimme the pork/ham/bacon.
5:14 am
grannyrose

oh, zooz, your salad sounds like to die for...
5:17 am
zoozzoom

Do you not have any icepop or icepoles as we call them in your freezer compartment to cool you down and refresh you, Rose?
5:17 am
zoozzoom

Strawberry ones are nice :-)
5:18 am
grannyrose

yes we do zooz. but we have just finished dinner. tummy full.
5:18 am
zoozzoom

Yeah but just one to freshen the mouth with won't hurt!
5:18 am
zoozzoom

After all it is just frozen flavoured water!
5:19 am
grannyrose

in about 10 minutes perhaps. room starting to cool down now.
5:19 am
zoozzoom

That is good then. Might become more bearable soon.
5:20 am
grannyrose

we have the frozen fruit juice ones, no added sugar.
5:20 am
zoozzoom

They sound even better!
5:21 am
zoozzoom

What time is it now where you are, Rose?
5:21 am
grannyrose

nearly 10:30 pm saturday
5:22 am
zoozzoom

11:22am here now.
5:22 am
zoozzoom

Saturday also.
5:23 am
grannyrose

so 9 hours behind me
5:23 am
zoozzoom

Gosh you eat late...I can't eat much food after 8pm otherwise I tend to get indigestion when i retire for the evening.
5:24 am
zoozzoom

Yes i will trt and remember that.
5:24 am
zoozzoom

Try*
5:24 am
grannyrose

lol....zooz after years of having to eat when the mother wanted, it is a luxury to eat when we are hungry.
5:26 am
zoozzoom

Sorry, Rose, I was not saying when you eat is wrong. I was just saying I can't :-) and what you say makes perfect sense.
5:27 am
grannyrose

appreciate it, zooz. fortunately don and i have cast-iron stomachs.
5:29 am
zoozzoom

Talking of cast iron stomachs, I tried sushi again in the summer last year. I gagged instantly it touched my mouth. The texture of raw fish for some reason does not agree with me..lol
5:29 am
zoozzoom

My friends found it funny though.They said my face was a picture and a half..lol
5:32 am
zoozzoom

I take it the word 'Mank' must be a slang word.
5:32 am
grannyrose

lol....you should see me trying to eat mashed potato.
5:33 am
zoozzoom

Oh wow isn't it strange..I love mashed potatoes!
5:33 am
zoozzoom

Nice creamy & buttery..oh gosh now I am drooling..lol
5:34 am
grannyrose

the texture of the mashed spuds which my mother made was really gag worthy. nowadays, don and i mash them as you say...mother's were very dry
5:35 am
zoozzoom

Oh yes I agree.Dry potaotes is not nice at all.
5:35 am
zoozzoom

Potatoes*
5:36 am
grannyrose

and i am finding the foam from toothpaste also gagging. i thought it was the head of my toothbrush. switched to an itty-bitty electric one. same result.
5:36 am
zoozzoom

I also love a good baked potato too!
5:37 am
grannyrose

don is constantly rushing into the bathroom, concerned, because he can hear me gagging.
5:37 am
grannyrose

oh, me to, zooz. i love them crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside. and the pumpkin has to be burnt.
5:38 am
zoozzoom

I have been find lately when I have brushed my teeth my throat seem to get a thick mucas type phlem. And I have to keep swallowing to get rid of it. then after a while it goes.
5:38 am
zoozzoom

for the nasty description in there.
5:39 am
zoozzoom

Must be an ingrediant in the toothpaste that my throat re-acts to maybe.
5:39 am
grannyrose

ugh, zooz. it sounds like your sinuses are draining.
5:39 am
Lizlin

Hi all :) H
5:39 am
Lizlin

Hi all :)
5:39 am
zoozzoom

You could be right there, Rose.
5:39 am
grannyrose

{{hugs}} liz girl
5:39 am
zoozzoom

Hello, Liz :-)
5:40 am
Lizlin

Twice for good measure ;)
5:40 am
zoozzoom

A Happy New Year to you and yours, Liz!
5:40 am
grannyrose

zooz, could you try a sinus spray?
5:40 am
Lizlin

And to you and yours zooz. Hope you're keeping warm, while Rose and I are trying to keep cool.
5:41 am
zoozzoom

What type would you recommend, Rose?
5:41 am
zoozzoom

Thank you, Liz I am just about keeping warm..There is another cold front on its way tommorrow :-(
5:42 am
grannyrose

one with an antihistamine perhaps. himself alternates between sinex and telnase. he finds it works better alternating them.
5:43 am
grannyrose

perhaps google them zooz, and find what is similar in your neck of the woods.
5:43 am
Lizlin

Are you managing to keep cool Rose? I saw the temps in Melbourne and heard about the Victorian fires.
5:44 am
zoozzoom

do you thinnk it is connected that sometimes My throat will start to close a little getting an over production of saliva massivley resulting in continuing to swallow and it is rather distressing as it will last all night and for a day or two then nothing again for weeks?
5:44 am
grannyrose

liz, not only victoria, but also south australia. fortunately step-daughter lives on the coast so she is safe. we have had the a/c and 2 fans on all day.
5:45 am
zoozzoom

Sorry for asking..but never thought if i should see my doctor about it.that is also the first time i have tried to describe what was going on..lol
5:45 am
Lizlin

Guess it's that time of year. Hope everyone stays safe.
5:45 am
zoozzoom

Oh no not more fires, Liz!
5:46 am
grannyrose

sounds like sinusitis in a major way zooz. try the alternating treatments. don does a 2 week rotation which seems to work well.
5:46 am
zoozzoom

Bad enough if they are natural ones, Liz. hope you do not get any man made ones this year!
5:46 am
zoozzoom

Thank you very much, Rose, I will try them and hope it works!
5:47 am
Lizlin

Not in Queensland - well, not near us. But as Rose said, in Victoria and S Australia. I believe a 17 yr old has been arrested for starting a fire.
5:47 am
grannyrose

np's zooz. hope your chemist can help you.
5:47 am
Lizlin

loth
5:47 am
Lizlin

Sorry!
5:48 am
zoozzoom

why would they want to do that..even if they are having problems..why put other people and animals at risk?
5:48 am
zoozzoom

Already got that one.
5:48 am
zoozzoom

Have written them down, Rose :-)
5:48 am
Lizlin

I thought I'd entered it this afternoon. But obviously it didn't take then.
5:50 am
grannyrose

liz, zooz...could you please pass my xoxox on to sprite. nearly 11pm here and i am fading.
5:50 am
Lizlin

Sleep well Rose. Happy I caught you :)
5:51 am
grannyrose

and xoxox to you both, dear friends.
5:51 am
Lizlin

Hugs :)
5:52 am
Lizlin

Zooz, have you got the 2nd ma 6/7 combo?
5:52 am
zoozzoom

Sweet sleeps Rose. And thanks for the chat & advice :-)
5:53 am
zoozzoom

yes i do, Liz.
5:53 am
Lizlin

Little clue pls?
5:54 am
zoozzoom

Male+ 3rd vowel + everyday two letter wod.
5:54 am
zoozzoom

word*
5:55 am
zoozzoom

Then plural for the 7
5:55 am
Lizlin

Thanks - thanks pretty much how I originally tried to spell the 8/9 combo!
5:55 am
Lizlin

It didn't work!
5:57 am
zoozzoom

I struggled with the first MA 6 &7 lol
5:58 am
Lizlin

It suddenly came to me! Out of the blue. I must've seen / read the word somewhere.
5:58 am
mattygroves

What is the 8/9 combo - is it also an ma?
5:58 am
zoozzoom

It is, Matty
5:58 am
Lizlin

Yes, Matty. How are you? How was your trip - not too harrowing I hope.
5:59 am
Lizlin

And Happy New Year to you and yours.
5:59 am
nurse1000

anyone please help with to7? monkeys gave up...
6:00 am
Lizlin

Sorry, don't have it yet.
6:01 am
mattygroves

It was as good as could be expected under the circumstances - having a six year old around at Christmas keeps one from getting to mournful. I'm glad to be back though
6:01 am
mattygroves

Could I get a clue for the ma8/9?
6:01 am
Lizlin

Difficult for you I'm sure. But happy you're home safely.
6:02 am
zoozzoom

TO + double consonant + 2nd vowel+ two hile tiles on the end.
6:02 am
gran

to 7/48 ?
6:02 am
zoozzoom

High tile points*
6:03 am
Lizlin

ma 8 - male + abbrev for north + 1st person pronoun + road you pay a fare to drive on minus the last consonant (then plural it)
6:03 am
zoozzoom

Ad when you say it to yourelf it sounds like you are saying Toffee.
6:03 am
Lizlin

Dee's clue from earlier
6:03 am
mattygroves

Thanking you all kindldy!
6:04 am
mattygroves

Hi all. Thanks for the help. Not a kind grid for me today.
6:05 am
Lizlin

Such beautiful dogs, Une. Don't know how you can transport them and then leave them. I've been meaning to say that for a while.
6:06 am
zoozzoom

I was just thinking, Liz.How can anyone abandon such lovely dogs!
6:07 am
zoozzoom

And I always love looking at, Une, icon through-out the year.Such diffrent characters you can see in their faces.
6:08 am
Lizlin

Well, I guess that is the first question. My friend posted something to that effect on Facebook today - about neutering dogs - 67000 potential dogs from one unneutered female dog and her offspring in 6 years.
6:08 am
zoozzoom

I found yesterdays grid to be a bit of a bind, Nurse.especailly the Ss
6:09 am
zoozzoom

especially*
6:10 am
zoozzoom

Typing has gone awry again!
6:11 am
Lizlin

Leaving it for tonight with 20 left for tomorrow. Enjoy your days.
6:11 am
zoozzoom

Sweet sleeps, Liz! Nice to catch up with you :-)
6:12 am
Uneaixoise

Liz, fyi they're all going to rescues, fosters, and adopters that have been VERY carefully vetted . . . very reassuring . . . and yes, i pretty much fall in love with each one even during that short transport :-)
6:12 am
rubyfoo

If we didn't sterilize our females, we would have 10 or 12 pups a year. But I am loathe to "fix" Rufie as he is such a magnificent specimen and NE! lolVER chases girl. Actually, his baby sister mounts him
6:12 am
Uneaixoise

LOL hey, ruby :-)
6:12 am
zoozzoom

I am a dog lover, Une.And am greatful for the transporting you do :-)
6:13 am
rubyfoo

bonjour, un. Our Rufie has a local fan club' they come to the gate and take his picture
6:13 am
Uneaixoise

tx zooz :-)
6:13 am
Uneaixoise

OMG how cute, ruby!!
6:16 am
rubyfoo

Of all of our 7 chows over the years, he is the most beautiful and also the nicest, but is still an excellent guard dog. ( I'm not sure if he'd bite a bad guy, though). Don't tell anyone
6:16 am
zoozzoom

Well as long as it is enough to put these type of people off, Ruby, is all that matters :-)
6:17 am
rubyfoo

We gave a little cocktail party yesterday and he was an angel, checked everybody out and then went snoringly to sleep.
6:18 am
rubyfoo

Of course, he had a little pate
6:18 am
zoozzoom

sweet..lol
6:20 am
rubyfoo

the painter and electrician said they were coming this afternoon but I'll believe it when I see it.
6:20 am
zoozzoom

That bad heh
6:21 am
rubyfoo

they decided that I needed to change the lights in the kitchen as they were high intensity and always going out. But it turns out to be a big (and expensive) job and I am at their mercy
6:23 am
zoozzoom

What just to change the bulbs to a lower wattage one..Or have they decided to keep them and change the circuits instead!
6:24 am
rubyfoo

they are installing LED's (whatever that is) and, therefore, changing the whole (complicated) system
6:25 am
zoozzoom

Tell them to just change the bulbs, Ruby, I am sure you do not need the whole system changing.Are you sure they are not just trying to rip you off?
6:25 am
MollyL

Ruby, have you considered getting a second estimate? I think these guys may be taking you for a ride.
6:25 am
zoozzoom

Snap, Molly!
6:26 am
zoozzoom

My thoughts exactly!
6:26 am
rubyfoo

They already removed a transformer, so I'm stuck, and have already bought the materials. It is possible that they are ripping me off, but I am stuck
6:27 am
rubyfoo

The good news is that the 3 LED's they,ve aready installed are lively, so even if it's too expensive, the end result may be worth it
6:27 am
rubyfoo

lovely (also lively)
6:28 am
rubyfoo

Negotiating all this stuff on my own and in French isn't easy. At least the painter did a very good and clean job with the wallpaper and paint in the kitchen and entry hall.
6:29 am
zoozzoom

Well in future, Ruby, It might be best to get several qoutes before committing to one service.But as long as you are happy. Hate to think you are being made an easy target.
6:29 am
rubyfoo

Also, the day my husband "lost" the car keys, he took me to the dealership nd food shoppig, so maybe he's a friend
6:30 am
rubyfoo

I wS ABLE, HOWEVER, TO NEGOTIATE A LOWER PRICE WITH THE vw DEALERSHIP FOR THE NEW KEY AND WITH THE CAR INSURER FOR A LOWER RATE. sO THERE ARE SOME GOOD THINGS, TOO
6:31 am
rubyfoo

whoops, sorry for shouting, it's that wayward pinkie again
6:31 am
MollyL

Ruby, contractors often see women who make these decisions alone as fair game for expensive work. Can you ask any of your male friends at the restaurant to come over and bargain with them?
6:31 am
zoozzoom

We have had people in the news here, Ruby, For being best friends for an elderly couple..would do anything for them.Turned out..this so called best friend was stealing thousands of pounds from them.Being kind to you.Does not really mean they are being a friend. They could be..but just be wary :-)
6:32 am
MollyL

Yes Zoom, especially wealthy older people.
6:32 am
rubyfoo

Good iea, Molly. The person who got us into all the fisc trouble did itt to my (not yet) husband, also a friend.
6:33 am
rubyfoo

Alas, we used to be wealthy but are still old!
6:33 am
rubyfoo

and he stile a lot of money
6:33 am
rubyfoo

stole*
6:34 am
rubyfoo

<-- NOT YET ELDERLY!!!!
6:34 am
zoozzoom

My parents say they are elderly but still young at heart :-)
6:35 am

Ruby, you may not consider yourself wealthy, but to others you may appear so. Also, the language issue makes you a prime candidate for a swindle.

There is actually a grannyschickensoup.com where you can order chicken soup. I don't know if they ship international though. And it's way cheaper to make it yourself.

7:00 am

are you comfortable working in the registry editor, zooz?
7:01 am

I will give it a stab, Crossy.
7:01 am

zooz:

7:02 am
zoozzoom

you can email me if it is a long winded process. Don,t want me hogging the chogging :-)
7:02 am
crosshair

Well, be sure; one boo-boo in regedit and you can mess up your computer badly. If you are unsure, go to program files inside your c drive instead
7:02 am
sprite

best thing to do is make a backup of the registry first.
7:03 am
zoozzoom

Did that one already, Sprite.But it still had my extensions and add-ons when i re-installed.
7:03 am
pippingeek

Sad that manky is not considered a word
7:03 am
sprite

pippin, what would it mean?
7:03 am
crosshair

I think we will try in program files first. it is less perilous and not long winded. Fist uninstall FF using Ccleaner, then go to c drive/program files and remove the empty FF folder then re-install
7:04 am
zoozzoom

Mank should be, Pipping... but i think the other is mankey.
7:04 am
zoozzoom

Mank as in skanky
7:04 am

7:05 am

and sprite gave you a great link as well:)
7:05 am
zoozzoom

Cool Okay will get started..if you don't hear from me for a while it is because i will be re-starting computer and stuff.
7:06 am
zoozzoom

Thanks, Sprite :-)
7:06 am
crosshair

because if you have never used regedit before it can be dangerous. i have seen people fry a perfectly good computer by making errors in there:(
7:06 am
sprite

yvw zooz :) Good luck.
7:07 am
sprite

too true, crossy. Regedit takes patience. You have to be sure you are in exactly the right spot.
7:07 am
zoozzoom

I have used it before, Crossy :-)
7:08 am
crosshair

Ak. ok, then go in, find the mozilla file under all the software tabs and removes the values
7:08 am
crosshair

then restart computert
7:08 am
zoozzoom

I have noticed that firefox keeps freezing now and again and i have to turn it off and on again..but it gets annoying after a while.Also when i type into the chog and press return it takes a few seconds before it goes.It never did that before.
7:09 am
crosshair

but back up, just in case
7:09 am
sukee

That is why I stopped using Firefox, it kept crashing. I use Chrome now.
7:10 am
sprite

same for me
7:10 am
crosshair

FF used to be the be all-end all but Chrome has surpassed it now
7:10 am
crosshair

Chrome is a tad intrusive though. it is like the Facebook of browsers:)
7:11 am
crosshair

remember though, when in regedit, zooz, there may be more than one instance of the mozilla file. you will have to search them out under all the available software headings
7:14 am
zoozzoom

I will type in %APPDATA%
7:15 am
crosshair

it May be there, but you do not always get the detail you would wish\
7:15 am

In case you were wondering I am using explorer at the moment :-)

11:48 am
rubyfoo

good. I followed your advice as t vintage years and, although I couldn't necessarily find the exact brand names, I found the following, all from 2013: St. Vran - Mollard, Pouilly Fume - Francis Blanchot, Givry - Michel Sarazin something la Roches (a great hit with the guets), and a St Joseph - Vausanne.
11:49 am
MollyL

Ru, you little cutie, I could hug you to bits. xoxoxox
(((((World)))))
11:49 am
rubyfoo

Hello jilly jill. Winter is winter and we get older but make do. At least various Anglophone snowbird friens are in town
11:49 am
rururocks

Sarazin is a good producer.. Givry is a Chardonnay.. that's a nice choice
11:49 am
rururocks

how was the St. Veran?
11:50 am
rubyfoo

haven't had it yet. I didn't realize that a Chardonnay could be red
11:50 am
Jillyjill

LOL...and our snowbirds have left here ruby
11:50 am
rururocks

oh.. Givry rouge is Pinot.. I thought you were looking for Chardonnays Ruby sorry
11:50 am
rubyfoo

These were all from the local supermarket, so the selection was somewhat limited.
11:51 am
rubyfoo

aaa, that's what I thought
11:51 am
rururocks

There are Givry Blancs too those are Chardonnay and sometimes another grape
11:51 am
rubyfoo

I'm saving the Pouilly Fume for moi
11:51 am
rururocks

have some seafood with it thought
11:52 am
rururocks

though
11:52 am
Jillyjill

Ok..79 left...off to be productive
11:52 am
rubyfoo

unfortunately, it's easier to find good wine than fresh seafood around here
11:52 am
MollyL

I made some really good seafood stew for New Year's Eve. The wine was not quite as high falutin' as the ones you all are discussing though.
11:53 am
rururocks

*marks jilly's word count on the chalkboard*
11:53 am
Erda

UNKILT : not in the dictionary ... sheesh
11:53 am
rubyfoo

I'm sure your seafood made up for it. These were not particularly expensive except for the Pouilly
11:54 am
rururocks

is it a Pouilly Fume or a Pouilly Fuisse?
11:54 am
rubyfoo

My little cocktail soiree yesterday was a success. It's amazing what delicious pates and such can be found in little jars.
11:54 am
rubyfoo

Fume
11:55 am
rururocks

wow.. why would that be so expensive.. ? Hmm
11:55 am
rubyfoo

Expensive compared to the other, that is. I think it was 33 euros
11:55 am
rururocks

wow
11:56 am
rururocks

that's pricey
11:56 am
rururocks

so you had unfalutin' wine molly?
11:56 am
rubyfoo

but fallutin' seafood
11:57 am
rururocks

In that case.. yes.. but just keep the Pouilly for you.. it will keep well in the fridge for 2-3 days too opened.
11:58 am
rubyfoo

I also bought a chignon Bergeron which is very local. I don't l'Ike it very much
11:58 am
rururocks

I am hoping this year to have some wine with some fallutin' if you know what I mean :D
11:59 am
rururocks

I like the Chasselas wines up your way Ruby
11:59 am
rururocks

I bet you like that St.Veran a lot too.. that should have been reasonable no?
12:00 pm
rubyfoo

I'm writing that down because I don't know it. This village used to be all vinyards which accounts for my very rocky, hilly garden
12:00 pm
rubyfoo

I don't remember what it cost, but I haven't tasted it yet. I welcome your counsel
12:01 pm
rubyfoo

The view and location were too good, however, sos the vinyards went by the by and it because a fancy little town
12:02 pm
rururocks

I sell the most expensive Pouilly Fume in the world here in California.. most of the appellation is reasonable.. I don't know Blanchot.. so I may have to do a little homework on why it's so pricey
12:02 pm
