1:32 am

sprite

*hugs rose* I am good, but soooo busy. We are almost done with the attic, can you believe it? About 35 huge boxes sorted, and 90% thrown out or given away, or ready to put up for sale.

1:32 am

sprite

how are you and how is Don?

1:33 am

grannyrose

i have had a quiet day, didn't go to church as i am in the middle of prepping for blood tests tomorrow.just doing small things that have been on the back burner for a while.

1:33 am

sprite

sounds good, darling. What are the blood tests for?

1:34 am

grannyrose

don is much better. and a double WOW WOWfor getting the attic done.

1:35 am

sprite

am glad the nail training is almost over now. Two more mondays, and then maybe a half day for electric filing.

1:35 am

grannyrose

tests for everything under the sun... loll. ordered by endocrinologist to try and ascertain what is causing my heavy sweats.there must be nearly 30 of them on the request slip... loll... i wonder if i will have any blood left afterwards.

1:36 am

sprite

omg lollllll. Okay, sweetie, I know I do not have to tell a nurse how to prepare... bring orange juice and let Don do all the heavy lifting that day, lol.

1:38 am

grannyrose

yup... lolll... and also bring breakfast as the tests are for fasting levels. i'll be ready to bite the crutch out of a low flying kookaburra afterwards.

1:39 am

sprite

omg yes. Are you to take your meds beforehand? Here we must wait until the tests are done. In that case, also bring your meds :)

1:40 am

grannyrose

i am allowed to have my meds, and lots of water too. they like the blood volume to be a little on the high side when they bleed you.

1:41 am

sprite

they call it modern medicine, but they are no better than the old bloodletters, lolllll

1:41 am

grannyrose

*giggle* welll.... a little better i think.... no bowls needed to catch the blood. ugh !!!

1:42 am

sprite

1:43 am

grannyrose

i have been sorting out earrings etc. pinning them to black satin ribbons ready for sale at the church garage sale next month. geezz... some of them are so small. i had cramps in my fingers trying to hold onto them.

1:44 am

1:44 am

grannyrose

1:45 am

sprite

nope, did not see, was it recent?

1:45 am

grannyrose

and he managed to remove a leech 3 inches lng from her nostril.

1:45 am

Isn't he goudunov for you?

6:21 am

jwr

ow -

6:22 am

godthaab

I've been waiting years to say that.....

6:23 am

jwr

now you can die? I had a classmate named Warren Peskin. Some older kids called him War 'n Peace. We didn't know what they were talking about.

6:24 am

jwr

I'll think of a return pun later today and next time I see you . . . .

6:24 am

godthaab

At least die happy!

6:25 am

jwr

Too bad you didn't get to try it on ruru - but I think he'd have had something ready on the return stroke.

6:26 am

godthaab

Yea, but you set me up nicely.

6:27 am

jwr

Oh. Of course. Yees, indeed. I did it on purpose. (forgot to tell you that)

6:27 am

jwr

By the way, I know why I'm up at 4:30 am - What are you doing here, or rather, where are you doing here?

6:30 am

godthaab

I am EST. It is 7:30 am here. I am usually here at this time every day with a morning coffee. Are you in the L.A. time zone?

6:30 am

jwr

Please! LA, indeed! This is San Francisco, my friend.

6:31 am

godthaab

Aaaahhhhh........ I have always wanted to go there.

6:32 am

jwr

It's a different time zone - socially speaking.

6:32 am

godthaab

hahaha

6:32 am

jwr

I understand. That's why I finally moved here. It's not a bad place to grow old in.

6:34 am

jwr

Great meeting you, but what do I call you for short? Our own Dr. God has already taken the first syllable.

6:36 am

godthaab

I prefer to remain anonymous, even though NSA, Google, and all those other guys have my number.(We were all hacked my Google last week) Most people called me God or Thaab - forget the Dr.

6:37 am

jwr

I was talking about your anonymous Babble name. We never intrude.

6:37 am

jwr

Well, most of us don't.

6:38 am

jwr

Thabb is fine. EST gives me a general idea of when to expect you (with or without puns).

6:40 am

godthaab

God is fine. I just went to Google to find out about the battery hack, and I can't find it!

6:40 am

jwr

Sorry about your Google invasion. A friend of mine is one of the original IT guys; they have a different (better) definition of "hacker"

6:40 am

godthaab

I am rarely a punster, and only very occasionally a conversationist.

6:41 am

jwr

No more of either, I'm afraid. Gotta get back to work. Nice meeting you.

6:42 am

godthaab

Nice meeting you too!

10:41 am

I'm not sure I could keep up with Mrs. HO at 90 myself

10:46 am

rururocks

stock for what Molly?

10:49 am

MollyL

Chicken stock. I freeze the bones from chicken I cook and then make stock with them.

10:50 am

rururocks

oh.. i do that all the time too.. I've been thinking about buying a small stand alone freezer to store them.

10:50 am

MollyL

I didn't know ho's every became Mrs.
: D

10:51 am

rururocks

i started roasting my chicken bones in the oven before putting in the water.. it makes a darker and richer stock

10:52 am

MollyL

Ooo, good idea, thanks.

10:53 am

rururocks

makes it a darker golden color

10:53 am

rururocks

i buy these little sacks (cloth) to put the herbs in so that the broth is clear too..

10:55 am

rururocks

i love the smell of stock cooking in the kitchen.. but that's just me

10:57 am

mkg

making chicken soup now. but i dont do stock. i like to make a meal of the soup stuff.

10:58 am

rururocks

that stuff usually has too high of a salt content MKG..it is better to do your own

11:03 am

rururocks

if you have time.. that is.. it is a time killer

11:04 am

MollyL

We are having all day rain here today and there is nothing I like more than making sauce and stock on a rainy day at home. It smells so good.

11:06 am

rururocks

well.. now we know you're saucy molly

11:06 am

MollyL

I don't think that was ever in question.
: P

11:09 am

Judi

*waves to the masses* Hello to all this rainy Sunday.

12:09 pm

MollyL

*Waves to Judi* I think the right coast is just going to saturate and float out into the Atlantic. We have had so much rain this summer.

12:17 pm

Judi

Whoopsie. Computer froze up there. Had to re-boot. Yeah, we're over-saturated and damn sick of the rain. Although, yesterday was fabulous.

12:18 pm

MollyL

The sun has gotten to be a wondrous site in the sky these days.

12:18 pm

BzznBea

Any one seen mixi lately? I haven't seen her and was wondering how she was doing after the hurricane.

12:21 pm

Judi

Took a lovely ride to an apple orchard yesterday. Got all kinds of organic fruits. Also bought two sweet potato vines to plant in our shady planter.

12:22 pm

BzznBea

I have to find something to do with all this eggplant I harvested today. Sick of eggplant parm...

12:22 pm

BzznBea

Off I go...bzz...

12:23 pm

Judi

Eggplant makes good compost. Good goat food. Otherwise, it's pretty useless.

12:23 pm

lil*monkey

Bea have you made baba ghanoush? Not sure of spelling. It's a roasted eggplant dip, delicious with pita bread or crackers.

12:24 pm

bichon

Yummy!

12:25 pm

lil*monkey

Also, if you have Trader Joe's or Harris Teeter, they have eggplant hummus. I love it.

12:25 pm

lil*monkey

It's very garlicky.

12:25 pm

Sev

That's the only way I can eat eggplant!

12:26 pm

bichon

My mom and I used to make chopped eggplant. Was considered back then as a Jewish delicacy

12:26 pm

lil*monkey

I like to roast slices of eggplant & let it cool. Then layer on a sandwich with goat cheese, fresh tomatoes and balsamic vinegar.

12:27 pm

8:22 pm
