1:46 am

grannyrose

okay. no response was the reply. *leaves a special hug just for sprite in chog*

2:07 am

sprite

good morning all

2:11 am

gapeach

Hey there, sprite.

2:12 am

sprite

*hugs peach* Hello dear one, how are you doing today?

2:12 am

gapeach

Not too badly, thanks dear. And you?

2:13 am

sprite

about the same, thank you. Rose and I have a quiet day planned, so that is good.

2:14 am

gapeach

Hope the weather is great for you all.

2:15 am

gapeach

At least you would be able to look out at the sunshine. LOL

2:15 am

sprite

could be better, it is mostly overcast. But it is not raining a lot, which is a good thing :D

2:17 am

gapeach

Oh, yeah. Indeed. We've had a few days of sunshine lately.....greatful for those.

2:19 am

sprite

tomorrow we will meet up with family members of rose, very very far removed. I found them for her last time she came over. It is rather exciting :)

2:20 am

gapeach

Oh, that is so nice. Sweet of you to think to do that. I know she is pleased.

2:21 am

sprite

rose deserves the best and we are trying to give it to her.

2:22 am

gapeach

Well, you have a true friend there. They don't come into ones life every day.

2:23 am

sprite

so very true. Rose is like my soul sister. Am ever so grateful she came into my life.

2:25 am

gapeach

I'm sure she feels the same. She seems like a great person.....and a lot of fun....but she can be serious when the need arises.

2:27 am

sprite

absolutely. We laugh until we cry and we talk about anything and everything, sometimes deadly serious, sometimes lighthearted. And it all comes so very naturally. Nice bonus is that our guys bond as well.

2:28 am

gapeach

For sure. Oh, is your ankle feeling better today?

2:29 am

sprite

quite a bit of pain today, but bearable. Am not at all displeased by how well it is healing.

2:29 am

sprite

healing is often painful, isn't it? But worth it.

2:29 am

gapeach

Your attitude is really contributing to its' healing.

2:30 am

sprite

thank you, that is a very sweet thing to say. I do what I can.

2:32 am

gapeach

You are prayed for every day.....and you WILL get through this. It is wonderful that Rose and Don are there with you also.

2:34 am

sprite

your prayers are so very much appreciated, peach. They work miracles :)
And yes, it is wonderful to have Don and Rose here. They are amazing company. Will miss them like crazy.

2:40 am

gapeach

Well, dear, I need to check on my critter.....she's being awfully quiet. Have a wonderful time today. Blessings.

2:41 am

sprite

*hugs peach* Blessings to you as well, dear one.

2:45 am

sprite

fireflies. A blessed day and a peaceful night to all, and *hugs* for rose.

8:42 am

m9f9l

Which is actually french "floor" in this case.

8:56 am

MollyL

French class is now in session. *Gets the French wine and croissants.

8:57 am

m9f9l

mmmm... croissants. I could totally go for those.

8:58 am

rururocks

too early for wine for me

8:59 am

BzznBea

How about a mimosa, then?

8:59 am

rururocks

that sounds ok

9:01 am

BzznBea

Still doing weak coffee?

9:02 am

rururocks

not weak coffee.. just low acid coffee..

9:02 am

rururocks

it's helping ... i fear i will have to give up coffee at some point

9:02 am

rururocks

i guess i can resort to snorting ground up espresso beans if i get desperate :D

9:03 am

MollyL

*Grinds up a line for Ru

9:03 am

BzznBea

I just can't imagine...

9:04 am

rururocks

me neither.. it's my second to last vice

9:04 am

MollyL

Does taking an acid reducer before drinking coffee help?

9:04 am

BzznBea

What's your last vice?

9:04 am

rururocks

yes..

9:05 am

rururocks

do you really have to ask bzz? :D

9:05 am

MollyL

I was thinking that very same thought.

9:15 am

BzznBea

Enjoy the Preakness, Molly. Hope it doesn't end like the Derby. Off to start on the long list of chores...

9:20 am

MollyL

Preakness was a big deal when I was in college. People were well on their way to drunk at this time of the morning.

9:23 am

MollyL

If I were betting, I would put money on Bourbon War at 12-1 odds. I like long shots.

9:33 am

cybernan

good morning, everyone :)

9:34 am

rururocks

hi nan..

9:34 am

rururocks

i don't follow the horses molly.. i'm not a gambler though

9:35 am

rururocks

i do know the Roths who own the horse that won the Derby.. through the organization i work with out her

9:35 am

rururocks

here

9:38 am

MollyL

I'm not a gambler and I don't follow horses. I do check out the line up for the Triple Crown races though. Horse racing is big here in Maryland.

9:40 am

rururocks

gambling I regard as an illness for a lot of people

9:43 am

hokie carla

9:43 am

rururocks

sorry, maybe I'll need another later :D

9:46 am

hokie carla

oh, the ho6. can't believe I missed that. at least I got the te6. feel like they are always in the grid together.

9:47 am

MLFAN17

I don't think I could give up coffee either

9:47 am

MLFAN17

my husband drinks It too and more then I do

9:47 am

rururocks

i'm down to two cups a day now .. it's a drag

9:48 am

hokie carla

I didn't start drinking coffee until about 5 years ago. I can skip a day but I don't really like to. I can quit anytime. haha

9:48 am

MLFAN17

i only drink two a day its the pod versions and i think it ups my heart rate

9:49 am

MLFAN17

i used to drink coffee and soda

9:49 am

MollyL

I don't like pod brewed coffee. It's not strong enough.

9:49 am

hokie carla

I actually miss coke zero more than coffee if I skip it.

9:49 am

bichon

I'm a tea drinker and diet soda

9:50 am

rururocks

diet soda is awful for you

9:50 am

MLFAN17

hokie i have discovered in the past few years that i get too full and cant finish a soda

9:51 am

hokie carla

well I would prefer mexican cokes or regular cokes but that's just too much sugar

9:52 am

MollyL

The only time I drink soda is with a burger and fries. It's a beach food thing.

9:52 am

MLFAN17

bichon, i have had iced tea at times, raspberry or others but not sweet tea or just regular tea. i on occasions have had a chai tea latte or a green tea frappucino both from Starbucks

9:52 am

hokie carla

I cannot like tea, no matter how hard I try

9:52 am

MLFAN17

molly to me that is a fast food thing but if i had coffee already i wont get a coke

9:53 am

MLFAN17

hokie i don't drink the hot versions at all

9:53 am

MollyL

I drink herbal tea when I'm sick and iced tea on a rare occasion, but regular hot tea gives me the eebie geebies.

9:54 am

hokie carla

I tried chewing on teabags when I had a toothache. gag.

9:54 am

MLFAN17

eww

9:54 am

MollyL

I'm sure it is all about what you grow up with. My parents were hard and fast coffee drinkers.

9:54 am

hokie carla

My mom has made iced tea my whole life but yuck.

9:55 am

MollyL

My iced tea has so much lemon and sugar in it you can barely taste the tea. : D

9:55 am

hokie carla

weird, my comment looks like a reply to Molly's but I typed it before hers was there. we must've been thinking on the same line

9:55 am

MLFAN17

my parents were too btu they drank iced tea too. My mom drinks hot tea

9:56 am

hokie carla

yeah, see my mom makes unsweet and then adds sweet n low and lemon to hers. maybe if I tried sugar in it.

9:57 am

MLFAN17

hokie i just don't like regular tea to me it doesn't even smell good. My mom makes sun tea too

9:57 am

hokie carla

I have tried some flavored teas too and that was no bueno

9:58 am

MLFAN17

its the only kind i like but its the bottled versions or from restaurants that i will drink

9:58 am

MollyL

Tea drinking is one of the few "very Irish things" I do not participate in.

9:59 am

MLFAN17

it is?

9:59 am

MLFAN17

i thought ti was British

9:59 am

hokie carla

I'm a bad Irish, I don't even drink alcohol

9:59 am

MollyL

No, the Irish are tea drinkers as well.

10:00 am

MollyL

No worries Carla, I drink your share for you.
: D

10:00 am

MLFAN17

hokie you are weird but smart lol

10:01 am

hokie carla

:D

10:02 am

MLFAN17

i don't drink much alcohol either

10:02 am

hokie carla

I will rarely have a cider.

10:03 am

MLFAN17

i hate apple cider

10:04 am

hokie carla

I don't like wine or beer. I like mixed drinks but it's too much work to figure out which ones I can have (have to be gluten free due to celiac). Ciders are usually tasty. I don't like the really dry ones. They have to be sweet.

10:05 am

MLFAN17

i hate wine and beer too. However give me an ale and i am happy. or a wine cooler

10:05 am

MLFAN17

i have also had raspberry beer

10:06 am

cybernan

there are all kinds of ciders, as there are all kinds of wine. not all of the dry ciders taste like strongbow, which I don't like (too much like beer). There are some lovely lighter dry ciders out there.

10:06 am

hokie carla

My fave cider is Bold Rock.

10:07 am

cybernan

not familiar with that one -- we have several local cideries as we do estate wineries.

10:07 am

hokie carla

I think wine coolers are malt beverages, which are not gluten free.

10:08 am

MLFAN17

we have some wineries close to where i live i have no interest whatsoever

10:09 am

hokie carla

Bold Rock has two cidery locations, one in VA and one in NC. I live in NC so it's pretty easy to get in the stores. The VA one uses VA apples, and I think I like them better, but NC is still good.

10:10 am

MLFAN17

i just looked that up hokie

10:11 am

cybernan

Is the Bold Rock malted?

10:11 am

hokie carla

no

10:11 am

hokie carla

I couldn't drink it if so!

10:11 am

MLFAN17

not gluten free either

10:11 am

cybernan

I will try some the next time I'm in the states

10:13 am

hokie carla

interesting, looks like they are launching a hard seltzer that is gluten free

10:13 am

hokie carla

I don't think I even looked in the grocery at the cider selection when we were in Canada.

10:14 am

cybernan

Tried a new cider a couple of days ago - Maverick is made locally from granny smith and braeburn apples, no malt

10:14 am

hokie carla

I think I had one at a restaurant but don't remember if it was a brand I knew or not.

10:14 am

hokie carla

I've only seen one cider that is not GF and I can't think of what brand it was.

10:16 am

cybernan

our grocery stores just have estate wines -- you need to go to a liquor store for anything else.

10:16 am

hokie carla

Ah, we went to a Safeway and it did have a separate liquor store.

10:17 am

MLFAN17

Safeway? how long ago was that hokie?

10:17 am

cybernan

yes -- but only wine in the store - costco also has a separate liquor store

10:17 am

hokie carla

April in Canada

10:18 am

hokie carla

My husband bought beer somewhere!

10:18 am

MLFAN17

ohh they are out of business in US as you know

10:18 am

cybernan

safeway still goes by that name even though it has been bought out by sobey's

10:18 am

hokie carla

I did not know that, I just thought they were a west coast thing

10:18 am

MollyL

We have four grocery stores in our area that have beer and wine licenses. Fortunately, one of them is down the street from me.

10:19 am

MollyL

We have a lot of Safeways here

10:19 am

hokie carla

In NC we have ABC stores for hard liquor but grocery stores have beer, wine, everything else

10:19 am

MLFAN17

sobey's.. i have heard of that

10:20 am

MollyL

Safeway is not out of business in these United States

10:21 am

hokie carla

yeah, I think I have a customer card from Safeway from our cross country trip a few years ago

10:22 am

MLFAN17

I think they all went out of business in the Washington metro area

10:23 am

rururocks

what do you mean by "estate" wines nan?

10:24 am

MollyL

No, they didn't. I live in the Washington metro area and there are a ton of Safeways here.

10:25 am

cybernan

farmgate and estate wineries are limited in the amount of wine they can produce.

10:25 am

mixi6

My mother put orange juice in the ice tea, not lemon.

10:26 am

MLFAN17

i haven't been to one in years they used to be the one to go to besides Giant

10:26 am

MLFAN17

mixi that sounds so good!

10:26 am

cybernan

They are smaller privately owned businesses - like burrowing owl as opposed to inniskillen

10:27 am

hokie carla

We do not have Safeway since Harris Teeter & Food Lion are based here.

10:27 am

rururocks

ah ok got it.. so they're allowed to be sold in Grocery stores.. but they don't have enough wine for the liquor stores run by the government

10:27 am

rururocks

i like the burrowing owl wines.. especially the pinot gris and merlot

10:27 am

MLFAN17

hokie Harris Teeter is based here?

10:28 am

MollyL

I love Harris Teeter

10:28 am

bichon

co 7/32, first one, pls

10:28 am

mixi6

Harris teeter was bought by kroger.

10:28 am

MLFAN17

me too Molly haven't been to one in a few years.

10:29 am

MLFAN17

i had no idea mixi

10:29 am

hokie carla

HT is based in Charlotte but Kroger bought them a few years ago. There is still an HT hq building in CLT but IDK how it works now with Kroger in the mix.

10:29 am

rururocks

people tend to totter around krogers

10:30 am

mixi6

Person who co5

10:30 am

MollyL

MLF don't you live in North Carolina? Giant Food is a DC based food store chain

10:30 am

hokie carla

honestly it has kinda gone downhill since Kroger bought it

10:30 am

hokie carla

but we have Publix now so I go to that a lot

10:31 am

MLFAN17

yes it is Molly but i grew up in the Washington Metro area

10:31 am

bichon

We have Price Chopper and Stop and Shop and Shop Rite

10:31 am

MLFAN17

i have yet to go to a Publix

10:32 am

cybernan

no - most of them are in the liquor stores as well. Some sell their entire stock to restaurants. Another criteria besides the size of the operations is that the farmgate wines must be produced from vines grown on the property and the estate wines must be produced mostly from locally grown grapes (80% I think)

10:32 am

mixi6

Me too

10:32 am

MLFAN17

hokie i also want to go to Lidl

10:33 am

MollyL

I don't care for Aldi and Lidl and the "discount grocery stores". They are usually poorly stocked and I'm not big on "off brands".

10:33 am

hokie carla

there's a newish one near me. we've had an Aldi for like 15 years. they are very similar. I'm not a fan of Aldi. I have been to lidl once and it was okay.

10:33 am

hokie carla

ditto on the off brands

10:33 am

MLFAN17

molly usually the store brands are fine in any stores

10:34 am

bichon

Not a fan of Aldi. Too much processed food

10:34 am

MLFAN17

I have not been in an aldi either

10:34 am

hokie carla

aldi does have some good gluten free store brand products

10:34 am

hokie carla

I don't like having to put a quarter into a shopping cart to use it

10:35 am

bichon

amen

10:35 am

MollyL

I refuse to do that quarter for cart thing.

10:35 am

mixi6

Ouch

10:35 am

bichon

co 7/32, first one, pls

10:35 am

MLFAN17

Hokie do you like any of the gluten free products from Food Lion? They have a fairly big section for it

10:35 am

MLFAN17

quarter for cart?

10:35 am

wvteach

Aldis is the closest store t our house and I am there constantly. I always have quarters in a slot in the car and it trains people not to leave carts in the middle of the lot

10:35 am

hokie carla

the one time I did it, the cashier gave me the cart at the end and it had the slot taped over so I didn't even get a quarter back!

10:35 am

MLFAN17

bichon i don thave any co 7's sorry

10:36 am

cybernan

one who uses a crayon

10:36 am

MLFAN17

ohh geez yes i did have that one sorry

10:36 am

hokie carla

I have only been in a Food Lion at the beach in recent years. They did have some GF products I can't find elsewhere but they weren't store brand.

10:37 am

bichon

sorry, need the 2nd one

10:37 am

MLFAN17

hokie i don't even know if store brand gl exists in Food Lion oor not

10:37 am

bichon

How many people really can't eat gluten? I bet it's not that many

10:38 am

mixi6

I only have 2. The second adds a consonart inth middle of th co6

10:38 am

MLFAN17

the co 6 is that the one that is part of a wall?

10:39 am

cybernan

10:39 am

MLFAN17

bichon its fairly high from what i have heard

10:39 am

mixi6

No womens under garmet

10:39 am

bichon

10:39 am

hokie carla

10:39 am

cybernan

last one is the small girdle

10:39 am

MLFAN17

mixi what?

10:40 am

bichon

I think it's far less than people think

10:40 am

MLFAN17

i add a cons in the middle of the woman's garment?

10:41 am

mixi6

Yup make it smaller

10:41 am

mixi6

Ty for the 8. Nbs 25 left

10:42 am

hokie carla

according to this one website, 1% of Americans have celiac. 1 in 133. I know 2 people besides me. they also estimate 83% of Americans that have it are un or misdiagnosed with something else.

10:42 am

MLFAN17

i saw in an article too that it is on the rise? A lot of people eat gluten free and they don't have to

10:43 am

cybernan

*!*~*!* hagd everyone :)

10:43 am

MLFAN17

10:44 am

wvteach

congrats nan

10:44 am

MLFAN17

wv en8/40

10:44 am

hokie carla

well, it's very trendy right now, but that's ridiculous. there's nothing wrong with eating it if you don't have celiac and it does not help with weight loss.

I totally get people with gluten intolerance eating gluten free. I don't understand people who "jump on the bandwagon" because it is trendy.

10:47 am

MLFAN17

trendy? geez

10:48 am

MLFAN17

agreed molly

10:48 am

wvteach

thnx nan - missed that clue in the middle of it all

10:49 am

MollyL

When you can't manage a dinner party because one person is gluten free, one is vegetarian and another is vegan, entertaining becomes a chore.

10:52 am

hokie carla

I don't get the trendy either. I would eat all the gluten around if I could. It's kind of a double edged sword right now - many restaurants offer GF items but don't take any care to keep cross-contamination from happening because they just do it to keep up with the trendiness and don't understand it's a medical necessity for some.

10:52 am

hokie carla

but they will break their necks to make something is vegan

10:52 am

hokie carla

which is not a medical necessity

10:53 am

hokie carla

in our camping group, we have me (GF), lactose interolant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic. oh, and one with RA who can't have red onions.

10:57 am

MollyL

I didn't know about Rheumatoid Arthritis and red onions.

11:01 am

hokie carla

I think that's specific to her. She did an elimination diet and found that caused her a lot of problems

11:02 am

MLFAN17

i hadn't heard of that either. i know someone with ra though

11:31 am

rbud

haha, just got back inside - had a scrapper come by and get some junk I had lying around - should have seen how his truck looked leaving, with a junked old golf cart, snowmobile, and dryer wedged in it. :O

rbud

hope he makes it to the junkyard!

11:38 am

I just looked up The Botanist. Expected it to be way more than it is.

1:50 pm

rururocks

i used to buy it for $30 now it'$40

1:50 pm

rururocks

Gin isn't as expensive as whiskey

1:51 pm

MollyL

Probably because good whiskey is yards better than good gin.

1:53 pm

MollyL

Closing in on a million signatures on the petition to remake Game of Thrones season 8, due to the crappy writing. I love it.

1:54 pm

rururocks

i haven't ever watched GOT.. not my thing

1:55 pm

MollyL

I didn't think it was my thing either, but I liked it once I started watching.

1:56 pm

rururocks

i only drink Gin in the hot summer.. my petsitter drinks it year round :D

1:57 pm

MollyL

I do not, however, like shows that string you along through 7 seasons and then let the writers shit the bed in the final season.

1:58 pm

rbud

isn't GOT based on a book series? Does it not have a final book, then?

1:58 pm

MollyL

I have all the makings for Mojitos, including fresh mint, and have yet to make one.

1:58 pm

rururocks

they're good.. especially if not too sweet

1:59 pm

MollyL

No, the Game of Thrones book writer has not finished his series yet. The TV writers took it beyond the books.

1:59 pm

rbud

oh, wow, didn't know that. Haven't watched it myself, but of course have heard plenty about it all.

1:59 pm

rururocks

some of my friends are freaks about the show

2:00 pm

rbud

I've seen folks ranting about spoilers on facebook, makes me giggle, such obsession

2:00 pm

MollyL

There are people as freaky about Game of Thrones as there are people freaky about Star Trek.

The whole lot.

5:09 pm

lynxxx

Do you like the Australian girl? I think she has an amazing voice and the act was terrific

5:11 pm

Soodle

Yes. I thought she was great. But I put a tenner on Malta to win earlier today. I think it's the best song.

5:11 pm

lynxxx

Here we go

5:13 pm

lynxxx

Be nice if Australian won - cause we didn't in last nights Federal election IMHO

5:20 pm

Soodle

Just finding it hard to get my head around Australia winning a EUROvision song contest. Of course - it being held in Tel Aviv in the first place is a bit weird. (I voted for Australia just now!!!!)

5:22 pm

lynxxx

I know - its a bit weird. Possibly because we have been such strong and avid supporters of Eurovision - it has had a cult following for many years. I guess because we have a huge proportion of recent immigrants from Europe. Otherwise I don't get it either!

5:30 pm

lynxxx

Think you might have done your money nthough

6:17 pm

rururocks

And HI Jess.. long time no see

6:21 pm

MollyL

Continued weirdness in the Triple Crown races. A horse in the Preakness Stakes today ran the whole race without a jockey, who fell off at the gate.

6:23 pm

rururocks

how the heck does that happen to a professional

6:24 pm

MollyL

Oh, I am suddenly reminded of that old adage, "when somebody points a finger, there are three pointing back at them."

6:24 pm

MollyL

Apparently the horse reared up in the starting gate and the jockey got wedged in somehow.

6:24 pm

rururocks

oh wow.. bad luck

6:25 pm

rururocks

did the horse win the race ?

6:27 pm

MollyL

No, but it was exciting to watch.

6:44 pm

jesdraggon

Hey ru - yeah, i've been overworked and spending more time on words with friends because I can carry that with me.

6:59 pm

rururocks

I did rescue a new dog though

6:59 pm

jesdraggon

hmm. that could hamper that plan

6:59 pm

rururocks

and really saved her life

7:00 pm

she lost her home in the fires here in the valley and got aspergillus and we had to do multiple surgeries to get her well

7:01 pm

MollyL

*Can't see the sheep person as a cat person

7:02 pm

i'm glad she got adopted! so many people and pets (and wildlife) displaced by the fires last year. and we're already over the record for fires in the state this year again :(

7:08 pm

rururocks

I have to feed the dogs.. are you in Canada now full time?

7:08 pm

jesdraggon

Several dogs got adopted by clinics that helped health check them all at intake. I kept one that a rescue just didn't need to cope with.

7:09 pm

jesdraggon

no; i have utterly failed at moving to canada. can't find anybody to buy the clinic so i'd have to declare bankrupcty to get out
