7:24 am

BzznBea

I'm making plum jelly today...Best get on with it.

7:26 am

MollyL

Mmm, homemade jelly.

7:30 am

jmcnrick

hi all

7:30 am

jmcnrick

whoo hooo bzzn

7:32 am

bichon

We have a quince tree, but the jam was terrible

7:32 am

jmcnrick

quince needs lots of extra sugar.

7:33 am

bichon

The consistency was awful

7:33 am

jmcnrick

rubbery?

7:33 am

bichon

Mostly the birds ate the quice fruit

7:34 am

bichon

Yes jmc

7:34 am

jmcnrick

like the pawpaw quince is high pectin. . . better for jelly than jam

7:35 am

bichon

Don't know which type it is.

7:35 am

rastapopolous

try making membrillo. easier, hard to go wrong.

7:35 am

jmcnrick

sorry I needed a comma in that sentence. Like the pawpaw, the quince is

7:36 am

jmcnrick

membrillo? never heard of it. . . do tell

7:37 am

rastapopolous

basically you just chunk all the quince into water with a ton of sugar, and boil it down till it's really thick, spread it out in a pan.

7:37 am

jmcnrick

sounds like fruit leather. . . gotcha

7:37 am

rastapopolous

It sets up almot like fruit leather because it's so full of pectin - well, I guess it probably is fruit leather

7:37 am

bichon

Has to be Splenda for me

7:38 am

Judi

I was going to say... and that's where Brillo pads come from.

7:38 am

rastapopolous

more jellylike. You'll se recipes with lemon juice or cinnamon etc.

7:38 am

jmcnrick

hahaha

7:38 am

rastapopolous

I'm sure it's spanish lol

7:39 am

jmcnrick

cut a square and put it on your toast?

7:39 am

rastapopolous

I know, it's too much sugar for me, trying to stay lo carb. But makes a nice gift for those who aren't - quince has a lovely flavor

7:40 am

jmcnrick

it does hidden behind the sour. . .

7:40 am

rastapopolous

yes, it works great for toast.

7:41 am

rastapopolous

IIt turns bright orange curiously enough

7:42 am

rastapopolous

people plant quince as ornamental a lot because its flowers are so nice, but then the fruit just languishes, always seemed like a waste.

7:43 am

jmcnrick

i seem to recall the few times I made jelly from the fruit on my bush it was pale yellow. . . but I may be misremembering

7:43 am

rastapopolous

Maybe the long cooking time for membrillo.

7:44 am

jmcnrick

it's been quite a few years. My busg generally provides three or four small fruit so not worth dealing with.

7:44 am

jmcnrick

the leather may be worth it.

7:53 am

LuvWordGames

72 Temple Owl

i saw two deer on my morning walk today. one blocked my path then crossed the road. the other bolted when i walked past her bed.

8:53 am

Scrabbler

Have you seen any fawns? There is a mama and fawn here and that baby is so tiny.

8:54 am

72 Temple Owl

no. i would not see any tiny ones, since i am not walking in the woods.

8:55 am

72 Temple Owl

frankly, i stopped walking in the park because they all come out in the late afternoon and hang out in groups. they make me bervous.

8:55 am

Scrabbler

Deer are skittish and will run away.

8:56 am

72 Temple Owl

nervous. once i was walking the nature trail at dusk and they all just came out to dine in the cornfield. i was totally spooked, there were so many

8:56 am

72 Temple Owl

not here. they are bold. used to humans.

8:56 am

Scrabbler

They wanted to watch you.

8:56 am

cybernan

good morning everyone

8:56 am

72 Temple Owl

casually strolling scorss the sidewlk and the street at 8AM

8:57 am

Scrabbler

Hello up there, Nan.

8:57 am

72 Temple Owl

that dusk encounter, they just kept coming amd coming...i n herds. and there i was, a mile from the car.

8:58 am

Scrabbler

Are there reports of attacks on people?

8:58 am

cybernan

Not in our yard scrabs -- they stand there and look at me as if they have every right to be eating/sleeping/pooping in my yard. I have to chase them off with a broom -- they don't move until I am about 5 feet away and then only over the property line.

8:58 am

72 Temple Owl

i have workmen coming for an estimate today. i really need to let them inspect the basement. i am very nervous.

8:58 am

72 Temple Owl

no. i would think that would be the bucks, which are rarely seem.

8:59 am

Scrabbler

I live in the woods and the deer are fairly calm, but I am not afraid that they would hurt me.

9:00 am

72 Temple Owl

you don;t need to be int he woods anymore. city of 40,000 and there they are.

9:01 am

72 Temple Owl

should i be nervous to have an estimator come in to isnpect the basement?

9:01 am

cybernan

TO - we live in a city of 150,000 in a gated community and they still come in

9:01 am

rururocks

if his name is hannibal TO.. yes

9:01 am

PastorJ

I think the deer might feel the same about us - we keep multiplying and taking over their territory.

9:02 am

72 Temple Owl

my brother had a big buck standing in the street aoutside his house. now THAT is a sight.

9:02 am

72 Temple Owl

um, 350 years ago...

9:02 am

cybernan

true, pastor

9:02 am

Scrabbler

Owl, be on the phone (pretend) and tell the person to hold while the estimator enters the house.

9:02 am

72 Temple Owl

i say, GET OVER IT!!!

9:02 am

72 Temple Owl

no, scrabbler, it's disease that scares me.

9:03 am

Scrabbler

Oh, that. Masks for both of you. Give him hand sanitizer before entry.

9:04 am

72 Temple Owl

i will open the doors and turn on the lights for him. then all i will need to sanitize will be the hand rail afterwards.

9:04 am

Scrabbler

Tell him to not touch anything.

9:04 am

72 Temple Owl

i do not have hand sanitizer except a small bottle for the car.

9:05 am

72 Temple Owl

living alone obviates the need for lots of sanitizing.

9:05 am

Scrabbler

Vinegar?

9:05 am

72 Temple Owl

vinegar will sanitize? i know it is a great cleaner.

9:06 am

72 Temple Owl

i am hoarding my alcohol and i have one bottle of spic n span difinfecting spray. that's it.

9:08 am

cybernan

soap and water will do it for covid, but if you want vinegar, awesome makes a great glass cleaner with vinegar in it -- 99 cents for a 1/2 gal bottle at the 99 cent store.

9:09 am

72 Temple Owl

oops, phone

9:10 am

Scrabbler

I do not know if vinegar has been tested against Coronavirus, but it may work.

9:11 am

Scrabbler

I have to shop for my mom and visit her. See you tomorrow.

9:12 am

cybernan

me neither scrabs -- I just use my regular cleaning products -- I don't think an antiseptic is necessary.

9:14 am

72 Temple Owl

bye scrabbler.

9:28 am

jmcnrick

hi all

9:32 am

MollyL

Just a mention, vinegar is a great cleaner but it does not disinfect or sanitize.

9:33 am

Flask1

9:33 am

rururocks

but if the covid wants to make a salad...

9:34 am

Flask1

Hi jmc....hope you're well

9:34 am

cybernan

the experts keep saying that you don't need a disinfectant for the covid virus -- soap and water will do it

9:38 am

MollyL

I agree. People are taking this way too far with hoarding alcohol and bleach.

9:39 am

cybernan

9:51 am

jmcnrick

9:52 am

cybernan

no - the di 7

9:52 am

origami

I would love to take out my tub and replace it with a walk-in shower. But I only have one bathroom and it would drop the value of my property not to have a tub.

9:52 am

MollyL

9:52 am

jmcnrick

oh okay I have that one. . . lost the thread of the conversation

9:53 am

Flask1

10:06 am

rururocks

or a covid david?

10:06 am

MollyL

I have noticed a big drop off in people wearing gloves. I guess people are starting to take it to heart that this thing doesn't pass by touch.

10:07 am

rururocks

i wear gloves at the grocery store and bank

10:07 am

rururocks

all that latex and no fun

10:08 am

MollyL

I wonder if we are going to have a population decrease. I mean, people can't possibly be having sex with all this distance and covering up.

10:08 am

hokie carla

I wear gloves at home when I'm touching raw meat

10:08 am

hokie carla

but they are nitrile instead of latex

10:09 am

rururocks

we are having a population decrease.. Millennials are not having that much sex

10:09 am

hokie carla

well, a LOT of millennials don't want to have kids

10:10 am

rururocks

that's because they are still kids themselves

10:10 am

MollyL

That is really sad

10:11 am

hokie carla

no, they say things like "I don't want to add to this out of control population" or "I would never bring a kid into this world"

10:12 am

hokie carla

unbelievable, I missed the russian ruler again

10:14 am

Uneaixoise

True, hokie

10:15 am

10:21 am

MollyL

I guess that is why there was no Mrs. Ed

10:22 am

penquis

or little Eddies... ;o)

10:22 am

rururocks

i guess he couldn't pony up

10:22 am

hokie carla

is the re7/8 regular?

10:22 am

rururocks

yes

10:23 am

hokie carla

finally, was thinking about it all wrong

10:24 am

hokie carla

now just the in7 and all those horrible di's

10:24 am

MollyL

That happens here a lot

10:25 am

penquis

the in 7 rhymes with the in 8....

10:25 am

hokie carla

thx, always think of that as en

10:26 am

penquis

10:29 am

hokie carla

My crazy neighbor is outside talking on the phone about how her kids are sick but she's not afraid of viruses because she doesn't vaccinate them.

10:38 am

hokie carla

10:38 am

hokie carla

10:39 am

hokie carla

I mean how can you argue with that kind of logic

10:39 am

rururocks

i did the grid without too much trouble and didn't use lickety...

10:39 am

origami

Now she's moved on to how her kids will not wear masks because she doesn't want to teach them to be afraid to breathe.

10:39 am

origami

Well done, ru

10:39 am

rururocks

I think the anti-vaxxers should tour china

10:40 am

MLFAN17

korea is just as bad

10:40 am

KnightTime

Not to needle you ru, but I get your point

10:40 am

origami

10:40 am

hokie carla

10:41 am

MLFAN17

10:41 am

rururocks

10:42 am

10:44 am

KnightTime

Yes a good dose of puns always helps, if you get my point

10:45 am

rururocks

and your humor is not in vein

10:45 am

KnightTime

I cc you

10:49 am

rururocks

why do I feel like I'm getting hosed?

10:52 am

jmcnrick

Apparently I need a mask in the chog!

10:53 am

jmcnrick

what has been interesting is the number of children of anti-vaxxers who reject the anti-vaxx position

10:56 am

mixi6

One can only hope. Took my walk today with no mask, but only saw a couple of people and they were across the street.

10:56 am

rururocks

i ride my bike without a mask.. but i stay more than 10 feet from people

10:59 am

mixi6

Yup.

Had a mask in my pocket, in case there was someone closer

So is this the new normal? Will people wear masks everywhere from now on? If so, no more eating in restaurants, no more dentist or doctor visits, no more cocktail parties, or any kind of party that involves eating or drinking...pretty limited existence.

11:09 am

origami

God, now she is going on and on about how they are just going ahead without wearing masks, going to the store, etc. Our state is under a mandatory masks in public order. Neighbor from Hell.

11:29 am

Yes, she is outside talking very loudly. I'm in my office/guest room/studio which is pretty close to their back patio.

11:29 am

rururocks

she's not taking her medications I'm guessing

11:30 am

origami

She sure needs some mood stabilizers. I like her a lot more when she is in depressed mode.

11:31 am

rururocks

12:34 pm

origami

Thank you.

12:35 pm

jmcnrick

thanks molls

12:35 pm

MollyL

I didn't know if a clue would help. The "a Babblet" thing never helps me as I don't have those memorized.

12:36 pm

rururocks

<---has all the babblets memorized

12:36 pm

jmcnrick

I have a few memorized like etna.

12:36 pm

jmcnrick

ru's the man

12:38 pm

rururocks

well.. playing this game everyday for 13 years has to account for something

12:38 pm

JaxH66

I have no idea what comes after New. York, year, baby, house!. Site of mardi gras - google is no help and the answer in a crossword clue gives an answer that isn't in the grid. Is it possible to have another clue pleas

12:38 pm

jmcnrick

haha more dedicated than I

12:39 pm

jmcnrick

It is a city in Louisiana. . . Madri Gras is also in Brazil and other places. . . but that is the main place in the U.S.

12:40 pm

JaxH66

Ok. Now I understand the clue. Thanks

12:41 pm

jmcnrick

I was just about to dive in** Joan of Arc! hahaha

12:46 pm

MollyL

hmm, when I do a Google search on mardi gras, the first thing that comes up is mardi gras New .......

12:47 pm

JaxH66

I was getting about Fat Tuesday and didn't understand what the clue given meant

12:47 pm

jmcnrick

on the other hand you are in the U.S. and google knows it. Jax is in England so probably gets some place else.

12:48 pm

MollyL

I had no idea the results of a Google search depended on where you search from

12:49 pm

origami

If I could work these babblets into a conversation I would be able to remember them. But, then, people think I'm strange enough already. :D

12:49 pm

MollyL

Seriously, the day I start speaking in Babble words is the day someone can feel free to commit me.

12:50 pm

jmcnrick

absolutely. That is why, among other reasons, I use duckduckgo or something ese.

12:51 pm

jmcnrick

They don't track where you are or what you ask

12:52 pm

origami

I hadn't heard of duckduckgo, jmc. I will start using it.

12:52 pm

MollyL

It's so funny how I just take for granted that movies that feature Mardi Gras and that city it is in, have made them popular enough to be common knowledge.

12:52 pm

hurshy

i switched to Ecosia because they plant trees for every search you do

12:52 pm

jmcnrick

my boy keeps me up to date on privacy issues

12:57 pm

Maybe it will cut down on the ads I get on Facebook and other sites.

12:58 pm

jmcnrick

facebook has it's own system. as does yahoo.

12:59 pm

jmcnrick

microsoft also tracks you (and before anyone gloats and Apple)

12:59 pm

hurshy

well, i found ae7 & 8 but that's it, anyone got any others?

1:00 pm

jmcnrick

other 7s and 8s?

1:00 pm

the other di7 comes after them

1:06 pm

hurshy

got the in7!

1:06 pm

hurshy

and 8!

1:07 pm

jmcnrick

WD!

1:08 pm

hurshy

when you say the other di7 comes after them, you don't mean like, RIGHT after them, i assume?

1:09 pm

jmcnrick

sorry. not sure I still am looking for 10 d words

1:10 pm

hurshy

ok

1:14 pm

jmcnrick

increasingly likely it is right after as I only have one word left to find on the D

1:14 pm

hurshy

i have that and one other D, from top D

1:15 pm

jmcnrick

happy to give a clue or the di7 if you want

1:15 pm

hurshy

yeah, that'd be great :D

1:15 pm

PastorJ

I would love a clue for both di7s, please and thanks!

1:15 pm

jmcnrick

end it with an explosive

1:18 pm

jmcnrick

haha the other one is sometimes the start of glycerin

1:19 pm

hurshy

ahhhh thanks

1:19 pm

hurshy

tis just unfortunate that TNT is so very prominent in the grid

1:19 pm

jmcnrick

yeah hahaha you weren't the first person who guess that with that clue

1:20 pm

PastorJ

sheesh - got the movie one

1:20 pm

jmcnrick

I said it was a bad movie

1:20 pm

PastorJ

(had to google it!)

1:20 pm

PastorJ

ah, got the explosive one too. thanks much!!

1:21 pm

hurshy

i mean, i also thought, surely a word can't end with TNT, but...

1:22 pm

jmcnrick

of course Ishtar was even worse. . .

1:22 pm

PastorJ

yeah, you say 'explosive' and there's tnt in all its diagonal glory!

jmcnrick

a fair question I say

1:39 pm

moolingwa

and if he was on glycerin as well, then you would want him to lose his temper

1:39 pm

MollyL

I often think kid questions are fair. It's the adult ones that make no sense. : D

1:40 pm

MollyL

Well, the medication is actually ni5glycerin

4:05 pm

jmcnrick

yw bichon

4:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

they have many nice options for pants and leggings. not good for shorties though.

4:07 pm

jmcnrick

so why not just wear long sleeves and leggings. Have you gotten sun through solid leggings?

4:08 pm

jmcnrick

sorry got to drop out for a bit. bbl

4:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

regular fabric too hot. i especially need protection for my arms.

4:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

i nearly died walking at 8AM today, so humid.

4:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

and they also have hand protection built in.

4:12 pm

harpjane

I've never used coolio but I always wear complete coverage, usually just lightweight long pants and shirts

4:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

do you walk three + miles in the summer every day? before covid, i used a gym, but doctor forbids it till next year.

4:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

and also i garden.

4:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

I highly recommend Leslie Sansone's indoor walking workouts and they are available on You Tube.

4:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

how much room is needed for them?

4:23 pm

MollyL

Not much

4:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

i miss the gym so much! but i cannot see myself there for the activities i enjoy. too risky.

4:23 pm

MollyL

My son does them in his room and it is a fairly small room

4:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

i do miss the classmates though.

4:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

ah.

4:24 pm

MollyL

I'm curious. When will you consider the gym "not risky"

4:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

i don't trust the y to clean properly. they didn't before.

4:25 pm

MollyL

So never?

4:25 pm

MollyL

I'm just wondering if people are content to live this way for the rest of their lives. We were talking about this at work today.

4:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

some people have said they are not resuming social interaction until there is a vaccine. i think each person must assess and do what makes the person comfortable.

4:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

i don't want a new normal. so far it sucks.

4:33 pm

4:47 pm
