nice one for the dictionary
3:15 am

how are you doing, mel?
3:16 am

Doing great but only 20% battery so not chatting much ((hugs))
3:16 am

and g'day melia
3:17 am
sprite
*hugs rose* A very good evening, my dear friend. How was your day?
3:18 am
grannyrose
rather lovely. we had the jazz communion service followed by a brunch at the church.
3:18 am
sprite
ah that sounds very good
3:19 am
sprite
earpet - tame earworm
3:20 am
grannyrose
and an earpen is where you keep it.
3:20 am
sprite
oh! Of course.
3:20 am
grannyrose
*giggle* put them in.
3:21 am
sprite
mel had a fun one too. To unbo5 - to disembark
3:21 am
grannyrose
yeah, it's a good one too
3:24 am
sprite
monday will be fun... hospital most of the day. Bloodwork, psychologist and dietician.
3:25 am
grannyrose
is it all in the same building?
3:25 am
sprite
I hope so. My checklist says to ask at the reception where I have to go.
3:28 am
sprite
no eating from 10 pm the day before... all the way till about noon the next.
3:29 am
grannyrose
yeah, that will be for fasting blood work, and scans. they don't like anything in the gut to muck up their pretty pictures.
3:30 am
sprite
yeah exactly. All good, I can manage. Only, after that, I have to see one of them still. So what to bring to eat there... no carbs... does not make for easy take-along food
3:33 am
grannyrose
surely if you took a container of your soup and explained you were on a preparatory diet pre-op, the cafe there would heat it for you.
3:34 am
sprite
hm that is an idea, yes
3:34 am
grannyrose
or you could take it already in a vacuum flask. it should stay warm for quite a while
3:34 am
sprite
even better. Thanks darling. I was thinking how to keep things cool. Temps are tropical here atm. But keeping it warm is easy, lol.
3:35 am
grannyrose
glad to be able to help you. even from here... lolll
3:36 am
sprite
lollll you do, more than you realise
3:41 am
grannyrose
to keep cool, if it is a drink you want to keep cold, put it in a vacuum flask too.with lots of ice cubes.
3:45 am
sprite
yes, that is actually the best idea. I can bring a shake that way. Water, skimmed yoghurt and ice... and then put it the powder when I am gonna drink it.
3:48 am
grannyrose
yes, and you can shake it up in the flask. just make sure you put the lid back on firmly. don't want to share the shake with all and sundry
3:49 am
sprite
roflollll happened to me once. In the original shake beaker. Yes, I had put on the lid very firmly and carefully. Just forgot to close the drinking opening as well.
3:51 am
grannyrose
oh my. were you at home?
3:52 am
sprite
yes, luckily. I had to change clothes and mop the whole kitchen, lol
3:53 am
grannyrose
i bet. it was probably dripping from the ceiling..
3:56 am
sprite
it was. I have a talent for shaking :)

If you can imagine, a lady from the mayor's office called to see if we needed anything. I guess they're afraid that old people (LIKE ME) WILL DIE IN THIS CANICULE.

Yes, I can see Macy's fireworks from my terrace, The view is unobstructed but in the distance.
5:51 am
MollyL
Oh, but so nice not to have to fight crowds and traffic.
5:52 am
Anniebrook
That is something I wouldnt do. The crowds get there early in the day for a good viewing spot.

Good morning, and happy Independence Day to my American babble friends.

That sounds like fun, Annie. Drive safe and enjoy.
5:56 am

Thanks. Laura has been doing this for years and it is always a blast. When the sun goes down, my nephew does the fireworks. Really great time.
5:57 am
Anniebrook
They have a big crowd and they cater the party.
5:58 am
Anniebrook
Bobby loves the party. You can't get him out of the pool except to eat. Enough from me.
6:06 am
MollyL
I don't blame Bobby. If I had a chance to go to a backyard pool party I would find one of those floating lounge chairs and someone to fetch me drinks and be in heaven for the day.
6:20 am

Isn't it? It is so simple in one way yet a psychological thriller.

Viagra helps with those who unbone
11:40 am
TraderKate
a case where you would NOT want to de bone
11:41 am
hego
wouldn't unbone mean to put the bones back in?
11:41 am
rururocks
yeah.. like popsicle sticks or something
11:41 am
MollyL
No, unbone would be to take the bones out
11:41 am
hego
I was thinking chicken....
11:42 am
hego
But if you bone a chicken you take the bones out.
11:42 am

11:42 am

Julia Child once declared on national tv that Jacques Pepin was the best boner ever.
11:44 am

That would be a t-shirt
11:44 am

The prefix "un" usually means to take away from. Unwrap for example.
11:44 am

if i try parapet one more time.... grr
11:46 am

But he is, actually
11:46 am

why not?
11:47 am

Because he seems more inclined to the British.

maybe because he pays so much in taxes to Britain ?
11:57 am
MollyL
Well, all the people who live in countries usurped by the British have to pay homage to them.
11:58 am
rururocks
you mean taxes?
12:00 pm
MollyL
No, I mean their country is not a country because the British took over.
12:01 pm
rururocks
isn't a vote coming up soon in Ireland like Scotland?
12:03 pm
MollyL
The Scotland vote failed. Not sure how the Ireland vote will fare. These people seem to forget their heritage and actually "like" the country that robbed them of that.
12:05 pm
rururocks
ok.. I thought that I read they had a vote coming up soon. I was surprised that Scotland didn't secede
12:07 pm
rururocks
missing two b's.. there must be a couple of weird ones
12:08 pm
MollyL
I would have loved to see Scotland become an independent nation. Sadly, they have been suckled at the teat of England for so long, many can't figure out how they would survive on their own. No independent thinkers left there.
12:09 pm
rururocks
Scotland does have a vibrant tourist industry doesn't it?
12:09 pm
rururocks
I sure want to go there
12:10 pm

Yep, a vibrant tourist industry. That has nothing to do with their lack of interest in becoming their own nation though.

what a load of hogwash, so your saying Australia , Canada & all the rest who still have Lizzy as their queen are not really countries. The majority of Ireland is a Republic & of the bit in the north 41.5% class themselves as British. Maybe if you think like that you should have let your South break away, instead of slaughtering thousands. I think the Scottish would be very insulted with you negative attitude to their way of thinking.

The majority of Eire is a Replublic with a small part 41.5% still thinking of themselves as British. If your so fond of breaking up countries maybe you should have let the south go when they wanted to rather than slaughter thousands. I'm sure the Scottish would be really pleased with your negative attitude to their way of thinking.

Happy 4th to the yanks. As for the status of the former colonies, Canada and Australia are members of the Commonwealth. We are very much sovereign nations and are not under British rule. Our systems of government are based upon the Westminsterian parliamentary system but we are quite independent and make our own laws and have membership in the United Nations as sovereign states. The Queen is a figurehead and nothing more. Three days ago, we celebrated Canada Day, commemorating our severance from British home rule as a free Dominion in 1867. Molly, you live in a country that was ruled by the British, against whom you revolted. The main difference is that you went to war for independence and we went to the negotiating table.

"Independence" is a relative term. Again, you are all entitled to your opinions.
12:35 pm

Th locale 4th of July is always filled with unabashed militarism. People keep saying that all the wars were fought for our "freedom" but in recent years, a lot of it has been oil.

And yes, we revolted. That is what independence is all about.
12:35 pm
Kaplan the Magne
We are revolting.
12:37 pm

Negotiating table, what is there to "negotiate" about being an independent nation? You are either under the thumb of another country or you are not.
12:37 pm
mattygroves
Actually, no - independence can be gained from the negotiating table, or over time. Most grown children hopefully gain independence not with open revolt. Zimbabwe gained independence relatively peacefully (though we know how well that's turned out). Also, the Colonies were not a country 'taken over' by the British - rather, they were a British colony, who chose (quite rightly) to form their own country. However, what's right for one nation, country or area isn't necessarily right for another
12:37 pm
mattygroves
What if Texas wanted to be an independent nation?
12:37 pm
Kaplan the Magne
It is difficult for me to idealize this history, because I can't relate to the "we." And at the same time "we" were fighting taxation without representation, "we" were decimating the native population and generally not doing nice things.

The facts are not relative. We are sovereign nations. Britain has no power over us or our laws. The Commonwealth is a treaty arrangement not a system of rule. We are no more under the thumb of Great Britain than we are Brazil.

Whilst everyone has the right to their own opinion, that opinion carries more weight if it's backed up by facts. I might opine that Jibbers the Lobster God circles the earth. Doesn't make it right.
