cherlyq

10:11 am

cherlyq

1:52 pm

hokie carla

does she sew or just wants to get into it?

1:52 pm

hokie carla

and what is she going to do, quilts, garments, or home decorating?

1:52 pm

moolingwa

She had a very old one she inherited, and has done limited sewing as a result, but I think she's been reluctant to get one herself

1:53 pm

cherlyq

made it past half way

1:53 pm

moolingwa

2:07 pm

2:07 pm

moolingwa

t7 was the 7 I found

2:07 pm

hokie carla

2:07 pm

moolingwa

nice

2:07 pm

hokie carla

2:08 pm

moolingwa

oh, or more likely the other t7

2:08 pm

hokie carla

not unless there are 2

2:08 pm

hokie carla

I have te7 and tr7

2:09 pm

moolingwa

moolingwa

betrow - to give someone pants

2:16 pm

2:39 pm

cybernan

found the an 8, but still no luck with the pe 7-8

2:40 pm

moolingwa

sounds like a city in Illinois with a letter inserted in for P7

2:40 pm

hokie carla

well, hurshy's clue was back to the future related but can't imagine that would help

2:41 pm

hokie carla

good one moo

2:41 pm

cybernan

only city I can name in Illinois is Chicago

2:42 pm

moolingwa

starts like the group of cyclists (and home fitness company) ends in a mosquito borne illness

Look for cities on Shasta Bay.

well, the definition is clear as mud

2:42 pm

for the 7

2:42 pm

I'm a Canadian - I don't know any more cities or land features in the states than you do in Canada!

2:43 pm

moolingwa

sorry, needed to clarify that

2:43 pm

BzznBea

Hey, Carla.

2:43 pm

moolingwa

I know a few Canadian landmarks and cities...been to a few too :)

2:43 pm

cybernan

ty mool

2:43 pm

hokie carla

yeah, but you watch/read US news all the time per your own statements. I've never been to IL either

2:43 pm

BzznBea

That's a big assumption, nan.

2:44 pm

moolingwa

probably know more towns and cities from my interest in hockey

2:44 pm

moolingwa

I lived in Illinois for a short while

2:44 pm

moolingwa

From Thunder Bay to Moncton....from Halifax to Regina an on to Kootenay

2:44 pm

cybernan

perhaps Bea, must most of the contestants on quiz shows I watch know very little about Canada

2:45 pm

moolingwa

I recently learned Canada was a native american word for Big Village (or somesuch) is that true?

2:46 pm

cybernan

yes - except Kootenay is a region in BC not a city

2:47 pm

cybernan

probably - have no idea. A lot of names of towns and areas in our country are derived from indigenous languages

2:47 pm

moolingwa

ah, appreciate the clarification

2:48 pm

HarryHood

I was in a town called Swastika once in northern Ontario

2:48 pm

moolingwa

I've only managed to visit southern Ontario, Montreal and parts of Nova Scotia

2:54 pm

*at Lac Brebeuf

2:55 pm

hokie carla

my bread machine is baking in there. smells so good.

3:09 pm

hokie carla

even for gluten free

3:25 pm

BzznBea

What else is for dinner?

3:26 pm

hokie carla

well, we do meals from Home Chef, so one of those

3:26 pm

hokie carla

the bread is afternoon snack 😜

3:26 pm

BzznBea

Is that Rachael Ray?

3:27 pm

hokie carla

no, but there were some RR meals last month or so

3:27 pm

hokie carla

I didn't order many of those, though they looked good, because they all had gluten.

3:29 pm

BzznBea

I'd like to try some, but I just don't want to commit. I have issues. =)

3:32 pm

hokie carla

well, you really don't have to commit. I have skipped weeks and stopped for months when we were moving.

3:33 pm

hokie carla

email me if you want to check it out, I can get you and me some $ off for referral

3:38 pm

BzznBea

I will. Thanks. I'm trying to clean out my freezers right now.

3:39 pm

BzznBea

But if I could get one meal a week, that is a meal I do not have to plan.

3:46 pm

cherlyq

Carla I am gluten free as well but have not found a bread recipe yet

3:46 pm

hokie carla

we usually do 4 or 5 a week. not sure shipping would be worth it for one

3:47 pm

BzznBea

I do some research.

3:47 pm

hokie carla

cheryl, pamela's bread mix makes the best. and they have very good bread machine instructions if you have one

3:48 pm

cherlyq

thank you I will check it out

3:48 pm

cherlyq

dont like the expensive store bought stuff

3:49 pm

hokie carla

bea, some harris teeters and krogers carry some home chef meals if you want to try them or just get one here and there

3:50 pm

BzznBea

Thanks. I look at that too.

3:50 pm

hokie carla

I'm having trouble finding pamela's stuff now that I live in the country, cheryl, so I just ordered from their website. I think if you google pamela's products you will find their website. can also get some on amazon but I wasn't sure about some of those sellers.

3:51 pm

hokie carla

the krogers in hilton head had a huge, huge home chef section

3:52 pm

BzznBea

It is nice to have a dog in the house again, but he is taking a lot of retraining!

3:52 pm

hokie carla

and they had stuff I hadn't seen on the website, like dips and stuff. it was nice to cook at the beach but not have to think about it.

3:53 pm

hokie carla

oh, hopefully he'll get the hang of it soon, bea

3:54 pm

BzznBea

He has come a long way already.

4:15 pm

cherlyq

this dog snores lol

4:26 pm

hokie carla

winston does too, and has nightmares

4:27 pm

hokie carla

I imagine the only thing he would be scared of in his dreams is not eating

4:29 pm

cherlyq

yeah I looked it up and it said some yorkies do but if it gets too bad to take him to the vet we will see

4:41 pm

harpjane

4:41 pm

hokie carla

my brother is on his 3rd yorkie. he had 2 at once and now this one. one of the earlier ones and the current one had something where he sounded like he was snorting but that was while awake more I think.

4:41 pm

hokie carla

4:44 pm

cherlyq

Or, for us Friends fans, the blond.

7:00 pm

penquis

it's a bird, i think....

7:01 pm

hokie carla

you know, every male of a certain age associates that name with a certain scene from fast times🤣

7:01 pm

ch1212

aahh... this is where I confess I've never seen that movie.

7:02 pm

hokie carla

well, you were a little older than the target demo at the time I think

7:03 pm

cybernan

hi again again -- got an invite to a Burns Night gathering -- byob and a contribution to the snack table, so ran off to make a batch of shortbread.

7:03 pm

hokie carla

she is topless in it

7:03 pm

hokie carla

what is Burns Night?

7:03 pm

ch1212

Oh, no wonder, hokie! Nan, Burns Night sounds great. Will there be Irish whiskey?

7:04 pm

cybernan

Celebration of Robbie Burns birthday -- I think it is 2019 this year

7:04 pm

cybernan

sorry --- 219

7:04 pm

hokie carla

okay, question 2: who is Robbie Burns?

7:05 pm

cybernan

I would hope not ch1212 --- single malt scotch maybe?

7:05 pm

ch1212

I know he was Scots (I'm half and half), but Irish whiskey is always good for toasting poets. :)

7:06 pm

cybernan

none the less, I think I'll take along a little of the macallan!

7:07 pm

ch1212

Also excellent. Have fun!

7:07 pm

cybernan

Sure I will -- not until the 28th though

7:08 pm

hokie carla

you are making shortbread now for the 28th?

7:08 pm

cybernan

yes a little on the late side -- it really should mature for at least three weeks.

7:08 pm

penquis

well i made it through the list and still have 9 to find....ugh....

7:09 pm

westford

I took my four kids who are in their 50's now and a bunch of their friends to see Fast Times. They couldn't get in without an adult. I enjoyed it.

7:09 pm

hokie carla

must be different than what I am thinking of

7:09 pm

hokie carla

pen, I'm still skipping words left and right

7:10 pm

hokie carla

I was a little young when fast times came out but saw it on TV several times in the 80s. I have 2 older bros so watched a lot of things in the 80s I shouldn't have.

7:11 pm

westford

Times have changed.

7:11 pm

cybernan

scottish shortbread: 1 cup butter, 2 cup sifted flour, 1/2 cup of icing sugar. Knead until silky, form in blocks, prick with fork, chill one hour, bake at 300F for one hour (til edges turn golden), slice into1" strips, store in metal container 3 weeks before serving.

7:12 pm

hokie carla

yep. I remember watching ET with my kids and thinking wow, this isn't really great for young kids.

7:12 pm

ch1212

westford, I took my 12 year old daughter to see Thelma and Louise, because I had heard it was about female empowerment. I had no idea until it was too late there would be nudity and abuse and breaking the law...and then of course the ending lesson of, "If things get too bad, just commit suicide." We both laugh about it now!

7:12 pm

hokie carla

interesting, thanks, nan

7:13 pm

westford

Thank you nan. Is icing sugar confectioner's sugar ?

7:13 pm

hokie carla

I believe powdered = confectioner's = icing sugar

7:15 pm

cybernan

yes -- two blocks from the batch (1/34" wide by 3/4" high) Prick with picle fork so that you have a double row of holes down the center of each slice (cut when hot out of the oven and cool on racks)

7:15 pm

penquis

ba 6/30 anyone?

7:15 pm

cybernan

originally berry sugar was used, but it is almost impossible to find now

7:15 pm

hokie carla

no, pen. one of my 7.

7:16 pm

cybernan

the fly that goes from drinking hole to drinking hole

7:17 pm

hokie carla

7:17 pm

7:17 pm

westford

I have always wondered. I could have looked it up. ch1212 great Thelma and Louise story. Driving back from Ohio with my cousin after we dropped her daughter off at college. Pulled into a gas station and Susan said to the young cutie pie, "Hi, we're Thelma and Louise."

7:18 pm

penquis

ty, nan....

7:18 pm

hokie carla

still couldn't see that. finally looked it up.

7:18 pm

7:19 pm

hokie carla

7:20 pm

hokie carla

7:20 pm

cybernan

7:21 pm

7:21 pm

cybernan

7:21 pm

7:21 pm

7:42 pm

nope, no lickety for me today. most days now it won't come up for me. curious.

7:44 pm

hokie carla

weird, mab

7:46 pm

mab

it is. my caches are always clear. it might not like some of my anti-cookie sorts of things or my vpn, maybe.

7:47 pm

hokie carla

I quit using my vpn because certain websites just wouldn't work

7:50 pm

mab

yeah, could be that, but why would lickety care about my ip address?

7:51 pm

hokie carla

yeah, no idea

7:51 pm

hokie carla

he might be around at the flip if you can stay up

7:52 pm

hokie carla

actually, I think I can get his email off the lickety site for you if you want to ask him by email if that could be the problem.

7:53 pm

mab

that's a good idea - he must know everything about computer stuff.

7:53 pm

mab

oh yes, that would be great.

7:54 pm

hokie carla

lickety split AUS at gmail dot com (without the spaces and with the appropriate symbols)
