1:17 am
hurshy
my dad used to say that if there were three pizza places in town and one said, "best in town", and one said, "best in the state" and one said "best in the world", you should choose the one that says "best in town", because it has the best chance of actually having been verified.
1:17 am
grannyrose
well, my vicar won a car !!!
1:17 am
gapeach
I probably should consider going to bed, but it is way too early for sleep.

1:21 am
sprite
the mind images are killing me, LOL
1:22 am
Lizlin
Not advisable mid-air, Rose.
1:22 am
flosey

1:23 am
sprite

1:25 am
flosey
or post it in your bio, Liz?
1:28 am
Lizlin
Too complicated Flosey and I don't do that. If Rose or Sprite has your email and you would like the recipe, if they share the email, I'll send it to you - if you'd like it.
1:29 am
flosey

Lizlin
Thanks, Rose
1:38 am
flosey

1:38 am
Lizlin
Good - ignore the bit that says What I Do - don't know what I meant to write.
1:39 am
Lizlin
I love the way things like recipes can just whiz across the world in the blink of an eye.
1:40 am
flosey
no problem, will look forward to making it
1:40 am
sprite
me too. Am sitting here with a big smile, just because of it
1:41 am
grannyrose
me three... big smile cos i get to eat it with sprite...
1:41 am
Lizlin
Wow! Hope you like it - though if you like cheese cake it's difficult to imagine what you may not like. It might take a 2nd pair of hands to help form the triangle.
1:41 am
flosey
just made a, new to me, large bar recipe - looked so good, it was not good!!! tossed it all out and destroyed the recipe
1:41 am
sprite
making it together, rose, that is where the fun will start. And then the eating... yum!
1:41 am
Lizlin
And me 4 - knowing it's sitting in the fridge, just waiting for the white chocolate drizzle.
1:42 am
flosey
oooooooh, that sounds good
1:42 am
sprite
what a shame, flosey. Such a disappointment when it turns out the recipe is nasty.
1:42 am
Lizlin
That must've been disappointing, Flosey.
1:44 am
sprite
flosey is checking her cupboards to see if she has all the trappings :D
1:46 am
Lizlin
Time for me to go - hugs to all and safe flight, Rose. Sleep well.

6:17 am
bichon
No holiday picnics here
6:18 am
MollyL
We may get some sunshine today. That would be nice. The ground is saturated from all the rain and all the waterways are overflowing.
6:18 am
bichon
es + a ***ent show
6:18 am
MollyL
I think there is an R in that word, Peri
6:19 am
bichon
sorry, need another letter there. Having to do with the reproductive cycle
6:19 am
periwinkle
ty. got it
6:22 am
MollyL
I'm sure all the retailers at the seashore are happy. When people can't lay out on the beach and fry, they go shopping.
6:24 am
periwinkle
I have friend who are at the beach for the weekend. but it is much too cold for me. too windy.
6:24 am
periwinkle
friends, even
6:25 am
MollyL
I love the beach in this kind of weather. I like to walk on the beach when no one is on it.
6:25 am
periwinkle
I love to walk on the beach, just wish one was closer.\
6:25 am
periwinkle
better chance of finding shells after a storm
6:26 am
MollyL
Early in the morning too, after the tide has gone out.
6:26 am
periwinkle
If I had a place at the shore I would be there but not worth for just a day in this weather.
6:27 am
periwinkle
may look into AirBNB
6:27 am
periwinkle
for a few days or long weekend
6:27 am
MollyL
No, this is definitely not day trip weather.
6:27 am
periwinkle
I need to find some friends who have a place at a beach. any beach
6:28 am
MollyL
It is pretty cheap to rent a place at the beach if you go in on it with a few people.
6:29 am
periwinkle
none of my friends want to do that and my sister does not like the beach, ergo, need to find some new friends.
6:30 am
periwinkle

6:32 am
Jacula
ol8 = ol + religious festival, peri.
6:32 am
periwinkle

6:34 am
periwinkle
ah, ty Jacula
6:35 am
Jacula
Y/w, peri. It's a shrub, btw.
6:36 am

7:05 am
penquis
hi molly...
7:06 am
MollyL
What are you up to on this holiday weekend?
7:07 am
penquis
nothing special....waiting to hear if we have a fourth for tennis at 11....i did go to a high school conference track championship yesterday....my great nephew competed....long, long day!
7:09 am
MollyL
Track meets are forever long.
7:09 am
penquis
yes, and he was in three events....one at the beginning....one in the middle and one at the end....and it was an hour's drive away....
7:10 am
penquis
at least it was not hot....i had three layers on and i was not hot....
7:11 am
MollyL
We have a sports-plex near here and people come from three and four states away for soccer games. There is no way I would ever spend that much time in the car for a kid's soccer game.
7:12 am
penquis
my other great nephew is in a travel baseball team....he will play in Mass., CT., NH., and NY....perhaps others if his team does well....and each stop is a multiple day tourney....it's expensive...
7:17 am
MollyL
Just having a kid in sports is expensive, what with uniforms, equipment and such. Adding travel expenses on top of that seems really pricey.
7:18 am
penquis
yes...he is a great player and my niece is lucky she can afford to do it...
7:18 am
penquis
what do you have on tap this weekend?...
7:25 am
bichon
My daughter was a figure skater. We traveled a lot to competitions. And all the lessons equipment etc. I could have bought a mansion
7:27 am
penquis
my niece has three boys....all are involved in sports....school year and summers....though the oldest is graduating from HS this spring and he has an internship at a bio research lab this summer....and he will be paid and receive room and board...
7:42 am
MollyL
Jeeze Bich, no kidding. Those skating costumes are not cheap. Pen, just the usual barbecuing and hanging out by the pool, if the sun ever comes out.
7:45 am
penquis
sounds nice...
7:53 am
penquis

8:36 am
penquis

8:36 am
MLFAN17
true they don't do they
8:38 am
MLFAN17
which tennis is it?
8:39 am
penquis
which tennis?....they usually don't broadcast doubles in any tournament...only once in a awhile...
8:40 am
MLFAN17
i was thinking one of the tournaments had started but maybe its too early?
8:42 am
penquis
i think the early qualifying rounds for the French Open may have started....if not, they are starting soon....

two weeks ago it was cold, rainy and we still had the furnace running at night. Today it's supposed to hit 30C
8:49 am

8:49 am
penquis

After this tough winter, I'm grateful for every ray of sunshine
8:54 am
cybernan
what events does your nephew compete in, pen?
8:59 am
MLFAN17
it was really hot here yesterday got a thunderstorm last night. Another hot day i think today and because of temps probably another thunderstorm at some point.
9:01 am
rubyfoo
I love field events (those huge guys throwing the hammer) but couldn't sit through a whole meet
9:01 am
rubyfoo
It's like the Tour de France, better on TV
9:01 am
penquis
my nephew does two relays and the 400m....
9:02 am
penquis
he's also a soccer player and a cross country skier....good kid....he was the captain of all three teams this year....
9:02 am
MLFAN17
i don't understand people standing outside watching a bike race at all. agreed much better on tv
9:02 am
cybernan
one of our sons was a high jumper and the other was a 400m hurdler (but also competed in relays)
9:03 am
cybernan
we spent many days sitting in bleachers when they were competing
9:03 am
penquis
he's also a good student....94 average....
9:03 am
MLFAN17
cyber and pen did either of them try for any of the Olympics?
9:03 am
rubyfoo
I've done it a couple of times, mainly to see Lance, but it's over in a blue of colorful spandex
9:04 am

9:04 am
cybernan
our younger son competed at the world junior level
9:04 am
cybernan
It's not all that easy, mlf -- the athlete has to meet world standards before they are allowed to compete
9:05 am
MLFAN17

9:05 am
MLFAN17

9:05 am

9:06 am
cybernan

9:07 am
penquis
i am sure...
9:07 am
MLFAN17

Lots of early veggies, meats, eggs, baked goods, cheeses, crafts, food trucks. It's a party.

10:06 am

10:07 am

I have rabbits and birds out back all the time. They never bother my vegetable plants. We have an understanding, me and the wildlife.

10:10 am

My retirement plan is to plant a large field of tall sunflowers. Then, in the middle, I would plant marijuana (where it wouldn't be visible). However, knowing my luck, some douche with a drone would out my crop to the authorities.

Yes. I'm aware.

2:08 pm

Okay Bich, you win. It's not cold here.
2:08 pm
rubyfoo
Or calling me short LOL
2:08 pm

hmm.. I don't agree ruby..
2:09 pm

There are anatomical tems, like breast, etcetera and then there's cunt
2:09 pm

The power of bad language is using words that you know offend someone. Whether they offend you or not.

2:11 pm

package because many men put bows on them bichon...of course :D
2:11 pm

family jewels will testes one's patience

2:14 pm
rururocks
I could never call a woman the c word.. it is just too rude to me
2:14 pm
MollyL
Women have been taught that cunt is the nastiest thing that can be said to them. It is a word, thrown out in anger. It means what you allow it to mean.
2:15 pm
rubyfoo
That's how I feel; it's more a question of intention to hurt
2:16 pm
bichon
My daughter uses the word koochie to mean female parts. I thats bad slang, and worse that's what my g'daughter does. The must be another word other than "down There"
2:17 pm
rubyfoo
"lady parts"?
2:17 pm
rururocks
*rolls eyes*
2:17 pm
MollyL
There are a lot of dumb words for female genitalia. Va-jay-jay, lady parts, lady town, whoo ha...

2:18 pm

I'd be afraid to yell whoo ha.. you'd think I was Al Pacino
2:19 pm
