3:44 am

flosey

3:45 am

grannyrose

really, flosey...why don't you know these words....* maniacal laughter here*

3:45 am

flosey

hahahah

3:46 am

flosey

we had a top notch fishery here - owner just sold out, haven't shopped there since but must try it

3:46 am

flosey

actually, I've gone off fish for a while

3:47 am

flosey

when we first moved out, we ate a lot of fresh caught salmon - guess I had my fill!

3:48 am

grannyrose

i hear you friend. fortunately i enjoy fish all year round...and my thyroid gland says thank-you.

3:48 am

flosey

ah, it's good for the thyroid?

3:49 am

flosey

I do love halibut though - as prepared by the fish & chip shops - deep fried in batter

3:49 am

grannyrose

absolutely. any food which puts iodine into your body is good.

3:50 am

flosey

oh, ok, I understand - mom was very ill when we were kids, she had to take iodine

3:50 am

grannyrose

and i loooove blue grenadier...grilled....fried...i don't care...just give it to me...* laughing*

3:51 am

flosey

never heard of that one

3:51 am

grannyrose

flosey, deep fried....my gut does not like it....

3:52 am

flosey

thought grenadier was a guard

3:52 am

flosey

well, I should have it occasionally

3:53 am

grannyrose

i am so trying to blot that pic out of my mind....

3:54 am

grannyrose

flosey, just find which fish give you the iodine your body needs.

3:54 am

flosey

I just say 'be still my gut because I am going to enjoy this'

3:55 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah?? and how often does it listen to you?

3:55 am

flosey

I don't have a problem - and, at my age, I will not anticipate it

3:56 am

flosey

mom had that problem when we were kids

3:58 am

flosey

Rose, I'm down to 35 so will keep these for tomorrow - will try to sleep now

3:58 am

flosey

4:00 am

5:43 am

sprite

good morning all

5:44 am

sprite

aw poor rose. Sleep well, darling. Sorry to be so late.

5:52 am

sprite

a 'grenadier' in dutch is a soldier, one that is especially trained to throw grenades, flosey. So I guess it means that in other languages as well. I bet we stole it from the French, lol.

6:18 am

sukee

Happy Sunday all.

6:19 am

sprite

hi sukee :)

6:19 am

sukee

Clocks went forward last night so I feel I got up too early.

6:19 am

sukee

Hi sprite

6:20 am

sukee

Now this is a much better sized grid than yesterday.

6:20 am

sprite

ugh yes, not fun, going into DST. Let me see when we go.

6:21 am

sprite

3 weeks from now

6:21 am

sukee

It seems early here this year.

6:21 am

sukee

I wish they would get rid of it, no need today.

6:22 am

sprite

yes. We usually go around the start of Spring. I hate it. Messed up my system for weeks on end. Even worse now that I have to take all kinds of meds.

6:23 am

sukee

Same here, just when I get used to waking up without an alarm clock the time changes.

6:23 am

sprite

yes. And you are so right, it doesn't serve any goal nowadays. Sigh.

6:25 am

sukee

Watching my cat, lol. Sometimes he seems to walk into a room and forget what he came for :)

6:26 am

sprite

lol sukee :) They can be so silly, our pets.

6:26 am

sukee

And, it usually involves going to eat :)

6:27 am

sprite

chatted with a man when walking Terra and he told me his rescue dog insisted to be carried to bed every evening. When he switches off the lights, the dog lies down, turns his belly up and the man has to pick him up and carry him to his bench, and cover him with a blanket.

6:28 am

sukee

That is a spoiled dog :)

6:28 am

sprite

lol indeed. But so sweet.

6:28 am

sukee

When I don't go to bed on time, Boo sits beside my chair and stares at me until I get up.

6:29 am

rubyfoo

I love that story, Sprite, my first smile of the day. Talk about spoiled, I've just gone up and down the stairs at least 20 times to serve husband in bed. I know he does't feel well, but neither do I!

6:29 am

sukee

Hi Ruby.

6:29 am

sprite

Terra does something similar. He sits down next to the door and starts making tiny sounds.

6:29 am

rubyfoo

Hi Sukee

6:30 am

rubyfoo

I had one good day and thought I was getting better, but the pain is back

6:30 am

sukee

Sorry.

6:30 am

sprite

hi ruby! I am afraid your husband does not really realise you are in pain, darling. He is in his own little world, confused and kinda lost. Not easy on you at all.

6:31 am

rubyfoo

Fortunately, the housekeeper comes on her days off and makes a fire, feeds the birds and walks the dogs. It is lucky that she lives in the village

6:32 am

sukee

That is nice.

6:32 am

sprite

aw she is a blessing!

6:32 am

rubyfoo

Can you imagine walking two such big dogs at the same time?

6:32 am

sukee

No, that is why I have cats :)

6:32 am

sukee

A cat.

6:32 am

rubyfoo

They love her and are very well-behaved

6:34 am

sukee

I see this man out every day taking his dog just out to pee. He has a cane and it is a big dog, sometimes you think he is going to fall.

6:34 am

sprite

scary, sukee

6:34 am

rubyfoo

I don't even try to walk the saller one. Even though she is good, I can't risk it

6:34 am

sukee

I actually see a lot of people in this building with big dogs who don't walk them, they just take them out to do their business and bring them back in. So unfair to the dogs.

6:35 am

sukee

In some cases I can understand it, but not most.

6:35 am

sprite

very. At some point one will have to decide not to get another big dog. Or enlist a walker service, if available.

6:35 am

rubyfoo

smaller* (only 32 kg)

6:36 am

rubyfoo

Luckily, we have a big, enclosed garden so dogs can stay out as much as they like. The only reason to walk them is so that they can "read the morning paper"

6:36 am

sprite

but the dogs have free roaming of the garden with you, ruby. They don't need hour-long walks to stay happy and fit.

6:38 am

sukee

woo hoo, got an 8 letter word by myself :)

6:38 am

sprite

lol, snap at that. Your dogs live in doggy heaven, that is for sure.

6:38 am

sprite

wtg sukee!

6:38 am

sukee

All dogs should have a yard.

6:39 am

rubyfoo

very sart, sukee. I have one 7 and that' my biggest but it's nice to sit here and not have to go upstairs again

6:39 am

rubyfoo

even smart*

6:39 am

rubyfoo

that was one of the main reasons for buying this house, along with the view

6:40 am

sukee

I usually only get 4 and 5 letters words at first.

6:41 am

sprite

me too. Biggies usually last. But this grid is friendly, biggie-wise. Apart from the odd fish.

6:41 am

sprite

fireflies. Lovely grid.

6:41 am

sukee

wtg

6:42 am

rubyfoo

yay, sprite!

6:42 am

sukee

I don't have all day to work on it sadly, have to do some writing that I put off from yesterday :)

6:42 am

sprite

have to be off. *hugs* to you both and take care.

6:42 am

sukee

Take care

6:42 am

rubyfoo

sprite, my favorite puzze (aside from the chows) is pinwheels. Have you been able to locat "Ruby"

6:43 am

sukee

Haven't heard of that one.

6:47 am

rubyfoo

have to lie down. Bye sukee

6:47 am

sukee

You take care too.

4:38 pm

great!....went to three places and all were good....one more to go this week....it's a two week event this year....

4:39 pm

welki

tell me what you had

4:40 pm

welki

(because, as you know, i covet your seafood availability)

4:41 pm

penquis

go to Mainerestaurantweek.com.....i went to Solo Bistro...40 Paper....and Cappy's.....will go the Hartsone Inn this week....if you click on the restaurants, you scroll down and see menus...

4:42 pm

welki

will do

4:42 pm

penquis

most places offer three course meals for $35...a few are more (i won't go to those) and a few are a little less (like Cappy's)...

4:43 pm

welki

the menus are lovely

4:43 pm

penquis

ironically, i did not have seafood for a main dish yet....had pork, pasta, and beef....my bro had calamari stuffed with sausage as an appetizer and a baked seafood dish with greek elements as a main course...

4:44 pm

penquis

had a wonderful appetizer with grilled artichokes and goat cheese...

4:45 pm

BzznBea

Clue or the first re6/18, please?

4:45 pm

looking forward to the Hartstone Inn.....nephew used to cook there....it's the fanciest place i will go to....

4:46 pm

welki

you would be re**** if you forgot your anniversary

4:46 pm

penquis

that's the 6/21...

4:46 pm

welki

i think i like cappy's menu best, so far - but cod with lobster risotto? that's right up my alley

4:46 pm

re 6/18...part of your eye...

4:46 pm

welki

<-- crappy cluer (apologies)

4:46 pm

BzznBea

Thanks!

4:47 pm

penquis

my brother like's cappy's....it was an interesting menu there this year....lots of choices....

4:47 pm

welki

there are fish on the menus that you just can't find anywhere else - fluke, for instance

4:48 pm

penquis

all the places i went to are within 8 miles of where i live except for Solo Bistro....that's an hour away....my neighbor wanted to go... very nice place...

4:48 pm

penquis

yes, there are some interesting dishes....

4:48 pm

penquis

we are lucky that some of our area restaurants participate.....

4:49 pm

welki

cod cheeks - here, walleye cheeks are delicacies, but there's such limited fishing for them, you could live a lifetime without ever seeing any

4:49 pm

welki

if i came for restaurant week, i'd have to reserve two seats on the plane for the ride home *lol*

4:50 pm

welki

... and refinance the house :)

4:50 pm

penquis

lol....

4:51 pm

welki

... we can't get fresh flounder here, either (mr. fluke's cousin)

4:51 pm

penquis

i am doing more this year than last....but it only comes once a year...

4:51 pm

penquis

we often see flounder on menus here....not always but often enough....

4:52 pm

steamed flounder with ginger and leeks -- one of my favs from mom

4:52 pm

penquis

sounds nice!

4:55 pm

welki

i have to stop looking at those menus! so many restaurants!

4:56 pm

penquis

i may go to 3 Crow this week, too....3 courses for $25....can't beat that with a stick!

4:56 pm

welki

we're having salmon tonight with asparagus and fried rice

4:57 pm

penquis

that sounds good....i am having stuffed peppers....i did not make them.....had them before and they were good.....

5:01 pm

welki

i like stuffed peppers. do you like stuffed cabbage? there's a recipe floating around called 'unstuffed cabbage.' haven't tried it, sounds 'deconstructed,' but that's okay with me. easy is (usuallly) good :)

5:03 pm

penquis

7:46 pm

MollyL

This winter has been awful. There is a funny (but fake) story going around about a guy in Fargo being arrested for using a flamethrower to melt snow. I'm sure many people have fantasized about that though.

7:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello, all.

7:48 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

funny -- but why would he be arrested? flamethrower illegal?

7:49 pm

MollyL

Well like I said, the story is fake, but I imagine it's illegal for a civilian to use a flamethrower.

7:50 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

without a flamethrower license
