3:58 am

sprite

he who makes dead and the top of a volcano?

4:00 am

Lizlin

I'll have to think about year.

4:00 am

Lizlin

That. Wrong fingers.

4:01 am

sprite

*giggles*

4:01 am

Lizlin

Probably will have to think that long too!

4:01 am

sprite

the 3rd one is ki + not a tortoise but a tu****

4:01 am

Lizlin

I have the ki words

4:02 am

Lizlin

So what am I missing?

4:02 am

sprite

ah, then you are missing kr6, top of a volcano.

4:02 am

Lizlin

Found it. Thanks

4:03 am

sprite

good! And my clue was not correct, I just found out. It is the DUTCH word for top of volcano... but in english it means "a mixing bowl characterized by a wide mouth and body with two handles projecting vertically from the juncture of the neck and body, used to mix wine and water"

4:04 am

grannyrose

hang on!! i have one in the back of my cupoard... lollll

4:04 am

sprite

lolllllll

4:04 am

Lizlin

I just thought it was a sounds like - different first letter. Extinct volcanoes have them at the top.

4:04 am

sprite

of course, mixing wine and water would be illegal in this house...

4:05 am

Lizlin

Why dilute?

4:05 am

sprite

ah right. Of course. THAT is what I meant, Liz (cough cough)

4:05 am

grannyrose

absolutely.

4:05 am

Lizlin

Just agreeing

4:06 am

sprite

a waste of good wine

4:06 am

Lizlin

As long as it is GOOD wine

4:06 am

grannyrose

but if it was a bad one, diluting may be the only way to drink it. i mean, you would dilute vinegar wouldn't you?

4:07 am

sprite

*giggles* Yeah, with bad wine it would just be contaminating good water.

4:07 am

Lizlin

Or not bother?

4:07 am

sprite

actually no. I would drink the water then.

4:07 am

grannyrose

how about adding orange juice?

4:08 am

sprite

orange juice and mineral water. Sooooo good together.

4:08 am

Lizlin

To champagne?

4:08 am

sprite

hm I think that would work too

4:08 am

grannyrose

liz, proper french champers needs no help...

4:08 am

zoozzoom

Bucks fizz

4:09 am

sprite

champagne is wasted on me. never managed to acquire a taste for it. Give me beer, any time, over wine.

4:09 am

Lizlin

Some do! But not a Bolly!

4:09 am

sprite

hiya zooz :) *hugs*

4:09 am

Lizlin

hello dear ruby :) How did it go yesterday and how are you feeling?

4:30 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} ruby. good morning. how did you go yesterday?

4:31 am

grannyrose

was it as unpleasant as you expected?

4:31 am

rubyfoo

I took my first pill last evening and the doctor told me I had to adhere to the morphine schedule. I had let the pain get ahead and was losing badly, to the point where I had to use a wheelchair at the hospital

4:32 am

rubyfoo

My friend, Catherine, took me and stayed weith me, so it was almost a "girls' day out|"

4:32 am

sprite

sounds like a good idea to stick to the schedule, ruby

4:32 am

grannyrose

listen to your doctor ruby. take the pain meds please darling.

4:32 am

sprite

am so glad it went ok.

4:32 am

sprite

yes you must. Pain eats energy, as you well know. And you need your energy to fight the cancer.

4:33 am

rubyfoo

I was trying to get by with fewer because of the side effects. But the pain totally saps me and yesterday morning, I could hardly walk.

4:33 am

rubyfoo

I've started eating again and have already gained a lb.

4:33 am

sprite

good, ruby! Wow, you are such a hero. Goooo girl!

4:33 am

rubyfoo

Meals on wheels started yesterday and B. and I split it. I loved it' he didn't

4:34 am

sprite

he'll just have to bear it. He is spoilt rotten, now he has to adhere to normal treatment, lol

4:35 am

grannyrose

yay for you ruby. well done.

4:36 am

rubyfoo

And I'm sending him to ault daycare, starting at lunchtime, tomorrow. He won't want to go, but I'll try to force him

4:36 am

sprite

4:36 am

grannyrose

4:36 am

zoozzoom

4:36 am

rubyfoo

4:36 am

sprite

ah, right. Very good, ruby. Yes, make him go. Too bad if he doesn't want to. Things have changed and right now you and your needs have to come first

4:37 am

sprite

oh how lovely, rose. Enjoy it :)

4:37 am

rubyfoo

Not much to say about him, beyond what we already know.

4:37 am

zoozzoom

wow those two years have flown by, rose!

4:37 am

rubyfoo

Our Oldies station plays Inna Godda Da Vida, the long version, interspersed with ads about enlarged prostate and assisted living. I have arrived at, um, a very strange version of Old Age.

10:25 am

Yeah..just means if you are desperate I am still available..lol

10:26 am

HarryHood

abba is kind of like bubble gum. a little flavor, but once you get past the first few chews, there's nothing there, and it's just this annoying rubbery thing stuck in your mouth. and it makes holes in your teeth. and gets stuck to the bottom of your shoe.

10:27 am

penquis

but somehow, it's still fun to chew once in a while... ;o)....like Wang Chung, my guilty pleasure...

10:27 am

10:34 am

TraderKate

10:34 am

rururocks

yeah.. tom has to go

10:34 am

Judi

Technically, Tom Jones is not a rock star/band.

10:34 am

Judi

He's more of a lounge lizard.

10:34 am

rururocks

neil young for sure

10:34 am

zoozzoom

hahahaha!

10:35 am

TraderKate

he still pulls in the ladies...

TraderKate

10:35 am

zoozzoom

Oh good grief, Tk..Really?

10:35 am

rururocks

Kaplan the Magne

Amy Winehouse for jazz vocals.

10:38 am

rururocks

I loved roxie music

10:38 am

MollyL

You all are lucky that Trif isn't here. She adores Bowie.

10:38 am

zoozzoom

Not into marilyn manson what so ever.

10:38 am

Judi

And you might as well carve out the entire genre of Disco and throw that into the volcano as well.

10:38 am

rururocks

well Amy already beat you to it kaplan

10:38 am

TraderKate

nothing worse than old metal bands with thickening middles and thinning hair...

10:41 am

rururocks

10:41 am

MollyL

TraderKate

10:41 am

rururocks

Kaplan the Magne

Tom Waits for no one and it wont wait for me

10:41 am

TraderKate

10:42 am

zoozzoom

Is tom waits still going..wow?

10:42 am

MollyL

Disco, what a horrible time in music history

10:42 am

rururocks

<--not that he's memorized beegee names to begin with

10:42 am

Kaplan the Magne

Not all bad. Gloria Gaynor?

10:42 am

TraderKate

10:43 am

TraderKate

10:43 am

Kaplan the Magne

Richie Valens.

10:43 am

rururocks

I had some gay neighbors that would blast Gloria Gaynor at their backyard parties

10:43 am

Judi

No. All Disco must go to the Island. Buddy and Richie are staying.

10:43 am

zoozzoom

Well I don't care what people think. Disco, michael jackson etc is all good to me.

10:44 am

MollyL

The only thing Gaynor is famous for is the tribal song of the sisterhood

10:44 am

Judi

... must deprogram zooz...

10:44 am

zoozzoom

buddy Holly..classic!

10:44 am

Judi

A disco intervention is in order.

10:44 am

Kaplan the Magne

Michael had an enormous talent.

10:44 am

zoozzoom

LOL, Judi.

10:44 am

harpjane

This is starting to sound like an Umberto Eco novel I read once. Stranded on an island where time got lost.

10:44 am

TraderKate

you are entitled to your opinion zooz, perhaps you would like to be deported to the island as wel, lol... just kidding - you MUST stay

10:44 am

rururocks

some musicians end up in a videophile library.. Michael Jackson ending up in a pedophile library

10:44 am

zoozzoom

Oh gosh that has left it wide open for, ruru, Kap!

10:45 am

rururocks

that's what the little boy said kaplan

10:46 am

zoozzoom

Hey, TK, with all these great talents going to the island..send me there!

10:46 am

zoozzoom

eww, ruru!

10:46 am

TraderKate

10:46 am

rururocks

10:47 am

zoozzoom

Teehee!

10:47 am

TraderKate

ah, you would be gr5ly missed zooz

10:47 am

Judi

MJ was a wasted talent once all the pedophile stuff became public. He creeped himself out of recognition.

10:48 am

rururocks

he was a great entertainer that's for sure

10:48 am

TraderKate

yes, |will give kudos for the talent.. but what amangled specimen he became -so sad really

10:48 am

MollyL

I agree Judi. Michael Jackson was as talented a musician as Prince, who is equally weird.

10:48 am

rururocks

we can send his brothers to the island though.. and that creepy latoya

10:49 am

rururocks

especially that greasy Jermaine

10:49 am

TraderKate

wasn't she the one with the "wardrobe malfunction"?

10:49 am

rururocks

no that was Janet

10:49 am

Judi

Yeah. That is one effed up family.

10:49 am

zoozzoom

good grief hope this is going to be a big island.

10:49 am

Judi

Obviously, it will have to be HUGE, zooz.

10:49 am

rururocks

*wonders if they'd take Nicole Kidman too*

10:49 am

TraderKate

which of course, brings us to the Osmonds...and Donny dearest (though I saw him in Joseph and the technicolour dreamcoat and he was fantastic)

10:50 am

MollyL

Kidman goes to the island of untalented actors.

10:50 am

zoozzoom

No good here then.This island only holds 90,0000 people.i think we are nearly upto that already..lol

10:50 am

rururocks

She did one great movie that's it

10:51 am

MollyL

Yep, The Hours. The extent of her talent.

10:51 am

Judi

Oh no. Can't send the Osmonds. They are too squeaky clean. And nice. And Donnie keeps getting better looking.

10:51 am

TraderKate

no room for actors on the island - they will have to find their own

10:51 am

rururocks

exactly molly

10:51 am

Judi

Yes. Actors must be segregated.

10:52 am

MollyL

Yeah, well they said the Duggars were squeaky clean too Judi.

10:52 am

rururocks

(sends Mitt Romney to Judi's house)

10:52 am

rururocks

send aging actors to Scientology.. that' just as good

10:52 am

Judi

Mitt can come over. As long as he brings his money.

10:53 am

TraderKate

polititians get their own rock to cling to - in shark-infested waters

before i go, has anyone ever heard of washing fresh cherries in vinegar water?

11:24 am

cybernan

no -- why would you do that?

11:24 am

zoozzoom

Not me, T Owl.

11:24 am

rururocks

sweet and sour cherries?

11:25 am

72 Temple Owl

because they are heavily sprayed

11:25 am

TraderKate

to clean or as prep before cooking?

11:25 am

zoozzoom

it is to keep them fresh.

11:25 am

72 Temple Owl

to prep for eating

11:25 am

rururocks

I buy organic cherries

11:25 am

zoozzoom

It kills any mould spores that might be there.

11:25 am

zoozzoom

Just googled it.

11:26 am

cybernan

best way to keep cherries fresh is not to wash them until you are ready to use them -- that is true for most fruit since the tap water certainly isn't sterile.

11:26 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, esp for tender fruits like berries

11:27 am

We have a huge cherry tree in our garden. We planted it as a miniature one but no-one told the tree. The cherries are big and black and called 'sweetheart', something similar to your Bing cherries. We don't use sprays in our garden so we just rinse and use the fruit. We are in the middle of making jams and jellies.

11:57 am

TraderKate

Hi Aussie, how was hubby's tea?

11:58 am

Aussieme

Yummy!

11:58 am

TraderKate

hi jaxx, yummy!

12:00 pm

jaxx7

Indeed. Picking the fruit is a problem as the 'miniature' tree is now over 30ft high. We have to fight the pigeons off when the fruit is green and small and the blackbirds when it is ripe. Plenty to go around tho'
