first and second course and footwear rolled into one - willy wonker eat your heart out

1:43 am

I woke up this morning at 5, thinking I could call the bakery to have a BD made for our admin assist...only to find out the phone numbers listed were all for the pharmacies at each grocery store...so I just stopped by a place on the way in to work...was delayed another hour going back to pick it up, had a meeting with the Gov's office and then had "lunch" too late...got home just a few mins before ten...and now am pooped...

2:27 am

I'm well thank you. Almost the end of the cricket season. Just two more matches (weather permitting) and then I go into housework mode for the winter.

I would rather watch the cricket than housework

2:29 am

Me too. But if I don't do it I haven't anyone else to do it for me! Needs must.

I say hire a kid to do it (apparently they accept cheap payments)

2:30 am

I like that Kate

2:32 am

i refuse to let house work rule my life.

I have a fairly clean house.

6:08 am

Of course I could be leaving now but I need to finish my coffee

6:08 am

6:55 am

find me a nice fossil

6:55 am

Fossils?!?!?!?! My oldest would pass out!

6:56 am

from excitement or boredom?

6:56 am

Excitement! He is a future palentologist!

6:56 am

as i wanted to be

6:57 am

just looked back on clues, bonk that was a great clue for the st8

6:57 am

very fond of all things ancient

6:57 am

*still just about here* does he like maths?

6:57 am

hello all

6:57 am

morning sue

6:57 am

*is a palaeontologist for my sins*

6:57 am

hi sue, how is your little one today?

6:57 am

He is only 6, so I am not too sure about math yet! We shall see...

6:58 am

wishes i could atone for my sins through paleontology...

6:58 am

lol tell him to be good at maths and biology :P

6:58 am

I will!

6:59 am

didn't think maths would be so important ata..

6:59 am

He finds rocks and sticks and calls them his "fossils" and makes up stories/history for the "dinosaur" they came from!

6:59 am

very, for most branches of palaeo

6:59 am

wonderful imagination!

7:00 am

And of course...he LOVES to dig!

7:00 am

lol a lot of palaeo people wo't ever go near a proper fossil dig

7:00 am

We have a new show here on Public Television called "Dinosaur Train". It is very good and has a lot of actual dino facts!

7:01 am

I know Ata! There are so many aspects to the science!

7:01 am

how does he feel about cleaning the school yard with a tooth brush though? about the same

7:01 am

ahhh, the baby moles where born....my cats are bringing me a dead one each day, yuck. and nobody tell me that shows me how much they love me.

7:01 am

Icky Sue!

7:01 am

It IS nice to be loved though!

7:02 am

lol

7:02 am

someone I did my PhD with didnt look at a single fossil for 3 years. I had to tell what trilobitesactually looked like "in the flesh" when he had been working with trilo data for years

7:02 am

where are you car? we get pbs buffalo here..no dino train

7:02 am

Boston.

7:03 am

Trilobites...from the ocean?

7:04 am

I would wake Zach up and ask him..but my darling boy is sick today with a fever and sore throat, so I shall let him sleep!

7:04 am

something not quite right about that? trilobites are soo common..anyone knows them

7:04 am

oh yes, but have most ppl ever actually seen most of theescrewed up trilo fossils? most don't look beautiful

7:04 am

boston..the other really good pbs station..

7:05 am

They are referred to on most of the documentaries on PBS/History/Discovery...how did this person miss them?

7:05 am

I keep typing shelter

7:05 am

My phantom today: stealth

7:05 am

True Ata!

7:06 am

I have to let my neighbors dog out, bbs

7:06 am

have a bunch at my mothers i found as a kid

7:06 am

I often wonder...how do the scientists/palentologists KNOW they got the information/data right?

7:06 am

cos we are brilliant lol

7:06 am

That goes without saying ATA!

7:06 am

and really, because everyone works on the theory of only discussing what we are really quite sure about. anything else goes down the bottom o the papers as guesses

7:07 am

then people like Nat Geo read the papers and turn the guesses into Facts

7:07 am

and then everyone thinks we know these things

7:07 am

heffa is too a word, That kid is a Heffa

7:07 am

someone has to

7:07 am

LOL

7:07 am

But what if the original guesses that were turned into facts were incorrect?

7:07 am

LOL Sue!

7:08 am

it usually happens

7:08 am

happens all the time..they revise

7:08 am

every 10 or so years everything gets shaken up

7:08 am

but remember that the guesses only ever remain as guesses in the science world

7:08 am

so it's only the TV channels that do major revisions!

7:08 am

I have the same questions about space.

7:08 am

they are car. dont you remember someone said they had a bone from like 3000 years ago, and it turned out to be a dog bone from 50 years

7:09 am

not too long ago they thought all the sauropods dragged their tails around on the ground...now they know they were supporteed in the air...all the world's museums had to re do their skeletons

7:09 am

I just find the whole palentology/dinosaur/science world so fascinating!

7:09 am

t-rex and raptors too

7:09 am

and to be really honest, a lot of scientists work on gut instincts. things that feel right. things that when you think of them make you stop and just feel that bit more correct

7:09 am

See, but I am not sold on radiocarbon dating. Those numbers are just too big for me!

7:10 am

then you find the facts to go around them

7:10 am

Anyone have the point totalplease?

7:10 am

radiocarbon is ok. not hugely accurate, but ok

7:11 am

better dating methods now

7:11 am

The Museum of Science in Boston used to have this T-rex model and it was a "big" deal. It is now used to mark the spot where the Duck Tour bus comes outside of the museum! The updated T-rex model is almost 3 stories tall!

7:11 am

well, it depends on timescale, kate

7:11 am

1534 lori

7:11 am

anyway rly must poof now!

7:12 am

Thank you for the conversation Ata!

7:12 am

I hope you have a wonderful day...and please let me know if you find anything!

7:12 am

bye ata..you come and go so quickly

7:13 am

how things change eh car?

7:13 am

Truly! But again...I question the theories sometimes! But I certainly don't know any better, so i roll with it!

7:14 am

Mercy Buckets

7:15 am

you are entitled to question any theory you want. that is the basic tenet of sciencde..it has to swtand up to scrutiny and bear out the proposed theory

7:15 am

typos

7:15 am

No worries Kate!

7:16 am

But sometimes I just think...What if Einstein was wrong? How many theories have now been built off his theories....and then it just goes from there!

7:17 am

however, as much as I enjoy and find science fascinating, I am not blessed with a scientific mind...just curiosity!

7:17 am

our understanding of dinos is growing hugely very quickly. wasn't long ago that it was thought that they laid eggs and left..now know they were"good parents' caring for young in family groups- mom and dad for the meat eaters..herds for the veggies

7:17 am

i know! amazing!

7:18 am

they're still working on einstein..he was working on the problems right up to the end...still need a grand unifying theory...the thheory of everything. still

7:19 am

We did get to go see the Walking With Dinosaurs show when it was in Boston...simply AMAZING!

7:19 am

that's what i love about the sciences..they're not static..always evolving, changing very dynamic!

7:20 am

it was fantastic wasn't it? it was up here for a long time. just ffascinating!

7:21 am

you must have some really good museums down your way,

7:22 am

Yes we do! There is actually 2 dinosaur fossil/parks in connecticut which we are planning to take weekend visits to!

7:23 am

ok, back

7:23 am

And if we ever get the chance to take a vacation for real...off to the badlands we go!

7:23 am

wb sue

7:24 am

I actually wanted to be an astronaut...but again...not a science minded person...and I suffer from horrible vertigo, so that is out!

7:24 am

want to go to the badlands and dig dinos for life!!!! jealous of BR cause he's out there..someone else is from n/ dak as well, but noit into dinos

7:25 am

but you are tenascious (sp) that count for a ot

7:25 am

counts for a lot..otherwise you couldn't play babble

7:26 am

But so not cool to throw up and stagger about on your first day at astronaut school!

7:26 am

Oh! I am just here for the food and drinks in the PB!

7:26 am

astrocar...has a certain ring to it...i always wanter to dig dinos

7:27 am

I would be very happy to dig for dinos as well!

7:27 am

I just realized...I am cuddled up in bed with my sick little boy and 3 sleeping kitties!

7:27 am

7:30 am

Also have a Phineas & Ferb marathon on the TV...so life is good!

7:30 am

when you get a bit of free time we can go dig..dakotas or alberta...lots of good stuff there...and the u>k> actually has quite a lot too, though you don't hear of it..some wonderful if small museums with all the locla stuff

7:30 am

8:11 am

I am teaching my older grandaughters to knit and taught d i l a couple of years ago

Jai, similar thing happened to my husband. Several of the metal sutures (sp) traveled around inside of him and showed up years later in another area and had to be removed. He just had a spot removed and last week the incision was healling nicely. But as of last night he has a suspicious area that has now opened up and I'm afraid will have to be redone.

bye bye aloy

8:12 am

fe5?

8:12 am

Nonnie, i love your icon

thank you sue!

8:12 am

Yep. I can relate, Nonnie!

That is great, Andree!

8:15 am

fe5 please?

8:16 am

I it a thing?

8:16 am

I had no luck teaching my own daughter when she was growing up, tried and tried, she can't even sew on a button,am sure its because she knows i will do it

8:17 am

A fish part- adjective describing many flippers

8:17 am

fowel to ee5/16 to fall in a f**** change first v

lol Andree--how do you have your "students" :o) start? I learned late in life (last year) and we were shown to knit in the round first. Our teacher gave us bulky yarn and large needles.

8:18 am

that came out strangely

8:19 am

fe5/16 sounds like to fall down in a fa***

8:20 am

my D I L with large needles and bulky as she only wanted to make scarves[ she knows i will knit for her kids] but am teaching grandchildren properly

8:22 am

a pass in fencing is called a fe5- pl for fe6- rhymes with paint

8:22 am

I just took up crocheting again... and I admit I am a little obsessed.

I enjoyed knitting in the round but really liked when I learned with regular needles and then double points. I found I could do so much more!

I can relate, mom :o)

8:23 am

I am going to the store today.... might pick up some knitting needles.. used to do that, too... just don't remember how, LOL....

8:23 am

So far I have made a hat, a basket, and a scarf. Am working on a poncho and an afghan right now.

8:24 am

the only time i have ever used round needles is for the neck

8:24 am

But I found a knitted pattern for a nice, heavy poncho that I really liked... so I want to see if I can manage it.

8:25 am

The scarf I made was really cool.. kind of spiral-y. I really like it.

8:25 am

I am working on an afghan too mom, get side tracked with the vest i am knitting so am never bored, i never watch t v without my computer in my lap or my wool and needles

8:26 am

I hear ya... I feel like I more listen to tv, rather than watch it... It also helps with not eating at night

Same here and if I know I'm going somewhere and I'll have a wait, like the doctor's office, I take my knitting bag so I can entertain myself.

8:27 am

and i always take mine when babysitting

8:28 am

yeah... I hear ya... years ago when I crocheted and worked in the city I used to get a lot done on the bus

8:29 am

OMG... my teenager loves to act helpless.... she wants hot cocoa and is lazy... so she is trying to get me to make it by buttering me up... telling me I make it better than she can... not buying into that one this morning, LOL.

I've found that it is a conversation started too. People are naturally curious and like to ask what I'm working on.

8:29 am

bedtime for me, bye for now

good night andree...sweet dreams

8:29 am

bye Andree... nice chatting with you.

8:30 am

gn andree, sleep well

8:30 am

I found this nice pattern for an afghan that calls for octagons and small squares... five different colors... so I made several octagons last night... went pretty quickly.

Sounds pretty, mom

8:31 am

OK... now she has made the cocoa, but I NEED to bring it to her, as she cannot possibly walk with it for 20 feet without spilling it... LOL!

8:31 am

We shall see... I had some cream yarn, so I did them in cream... now I have to find 4 more colors at the yarn store today...

8:32 am

I like those kinds of things because they are more portable... you can throw a small amount of yarn and a needle into a ziploc and stash it in your bag... work on it while waiting for things...

True and I need simple ones to cart around--ones where I don't have to do a lot of counting otherwise I'll mess it up for sure.

8:33 am

what time is it in england now?

8:34 am

yes... these are fairly simple octagons and squares.

8:34 am

2:34

8:34 am

It is 7 hours ahead of NYC, isn't it?

hi ruru

8:34 am

25 to 3 in the afternoon ruru

8:35 am

8:35 am

Forgot about daylight savings time.

8:35 am

thank you Fm.. early to bed for andree I guess

8:37 am

hello FM

8:37 am

oh she's in austrailia..

8:37 am

I didn't look closely enough at her flag

8:38 am

lol ruru are you awake?

8:38 am

Aussies are 15hours ahead of CDT here in USA

8:38 am

not yet..

8:38 am

*blinks*

8:38 am

so it's about 1 AM there

8:39 am

not gone yet, just thought for nonnie and mom of what i started the kids off with

8:39 am

*leaves a pot of coffee on the table* TTFN :)

8:39 am

8 ply wool, 4mm needles

8:39 am

no, 8+ 15 is 23- that means it is 11 pm there

8:40 am

toodles FM

8:40 am

cast on 2 stitches and increase a stitch at beg. of each row until you have 64 stitches

8:41 am

then cast off a stitch at beg. of each row till 2 stitches left and cast off

8:41 am

gives a nice diamond shape for rugs

Gotta run...take care all.

8:42 am

i hope nonnie and mom are getting this hate to think ruru thinks i am teaching him to knit

8:43 am

ruru has secret desire to knit

8:44 am

lol kate, now i really am going to bed

8:44 am

must go to bed now folks, suddenly got vry sleepy..good night / day all ***poof***

8:44 am

gn andree

8:48 am

bye Kate!

8:48 am

Thanks Andree... I got it!

8:49 am

I was away for a few minutes... but I know diamonds are much easier/cleaner to do in knitting than crocheting...

8:50 am

Mom, are we the only ones here?

8:51 am

maybe

8:51 am

The knitting/crocheting chog has stopped... so I guess nonnie and andree left.

8:51 am

10:15 am

inge got crossy and me off to a good start though

10:50 am

crossy, read vp's comment again :)

10:51 am

When you get back at someone in a relatively even way, it's called t** *** tat. Now slightly mispronounce the middle word (that's the southern part)

10:52 am

10:53 am

ti 6/27, 7/40 southern beginning to retaliation in kind: ti* *** tat, and plural

10:56 am

southern thing just threw it is all vp,but ty for trying for me

12:34 pm

hi and bye christa

12:41 pm

The "TE" family: te+ ** Gore; te+ up in the air train; what you chew with te***; add a vowel (babies do this and get fussy); add a consonant to that and you have one who IS getting te***- te&; plural of te7 is many babies all getting te*** te8. Hope this will help!

12:43 pm

it helped me alot-thanks!

12:43 pm

hi jai - what does the other 8 start with, do you have it?

12:45 pm

no problem - I found it. :-)

12:45 pm

but ty

12:51 pm

Now let's knock off the rest of the TE's: te+ Abb. for famous CA city te** Te4; add a vowel to that word te5; beginning of formal word for phone te** te4; te*l a story+ ***ocious lion te 6; te 7 plural of te 6; te4 a bird- sounds like teacher tellingkids to "Take your Tu**: plural for te5; te+ **e End another TE4; add ending to that for te6- you get a type of tied rope; plural that for te 7; go back to the te4 just above and plural it for te5; te+ abb for swear phrase tough sh**- you get te 4; and that is all the te's. Hope you can get them all!

1:02 pm

4:58 pm

the one 6/7 combo after the TV?

4:58 pm

Busy day today. Gave into the kids, and went into a pet shop (against my better judgement). Walked out with a beautiful Budgie...who has been named Babble!!!

4:58 pm

This morning I was cluing Crossy and another babbler Gave the advice that there are at least 15 words with th in the middle. It helped

4:59 pm

* looking jilli *

4:59 pm

pini, that's the one I just clued

4:59 pm

that's the clue I'm working on, jilli...our comments just crossed ;)

5:00 pm

I'll try another clue *thinking*

5:00 pm

got 'em! thx

5:00 pm

oh good!

5:02 pm

yet another creature to add to the menagerie in this house. but Babble is as cute as a button - the kids are already trying to teach him to say swear words!!!

5:03 pm

now, that's a die-hard game fan when you can name your pet, "Babble"!!! :-)

5:04 pm

I have a tall circular cage you can have, soodle. My finches all died

5:04 pm

The budgie brings the tally to : 3 dogs, 4 cats, 1 Vietnamese Pot-bellied Pig (porky spice), one ferret and now a budgie. Is it any wonder I am demented?

5:05 pm

lol

5:05 pm

I guess you were demented before you collected the menagerie! :D

5:05 pm

do you charge admission to your zoo?

5:07 pm

Thanks, Inge, but we bought a cage. Anyway, the postage would probably be more than what I paid! Entrance to the zoo is free - but, you my just catch the dementia by being here!! I don't have public liability insurance!! At your own risk!!

5:09 pm

My childhood cartoon-watching is catching up on me.... I keep hearing Tweety-Pie saying 'I tawt i taw a puddy-tat'........as I watch the cats inspecting the bird cage...........

5:09 pm

I will donate it to a school, I think. Gave some aquariums already

5:09 pm

Good plan, Inge.

5:10 pm

If nobody needs clues, I have other things to do . . .

5:10 pm

first ti6? fish?

5:11 pm

I remember "Sylvester" -- no way to write how that was pronounced.

5:11 pm

Thanks Jili, but I have just started. You enjoy you 'other things'.

5:11 pm

Our finches always had flight freedom, ergo no cats so far. But daughter is coming home from Vegas with three cats in a few months

5:11 pm

ti6 -- Cockney slang for hat

5:11 pm

and pl for the 7

5:13 pm

need help with that clue?

5:14 pm

As I babble, my 14 yr old is repeating swear words to the budgie. O M G!! :)

5:14 pm

yeah, I'm not too familiar with cockney

5:14 pm

apple vinegar spray will eliminate that, soodle ;)

5:15 pm

a touch of tobasco should terminate it all together! :)

5:15 pm

when you get even with someone you might call it t** *** tat. change vowel in second syllable

5:15 pm

- I have no idea how to explain Cockney to you.

5:15 pm

ti6 - tat (rhyming slang) --- boob + plant minus last letter

5:16 pm

hmmm...I think I have internet connection deficit...

5:17 pm

can y'all see me now?

5:17 pm

yes!

5:17 pm

yes, loud and clear

5:17 pm

A scupper is an opening in the side walls of an open-air structure, for purposes of draining water. They are usually placed at or near ground level, and allow rain or liquids to flow off of the side of the open-air structure, instead of pooling within the walls. There are two main kinds of scupper: 1. Sailing ships would have scuppers at deck level, to allow for ocean or rainwater drainoff 2. Buildings with railed rooftops can construct scuppers to let rainwater drain off, instead of pooling within the railing of the roof. Scuppers can also be placed in a parapet, for the same purpose. The transitive verb "to scupper" (British) means to overwhelm or destroy.

5:44 pm

put him in the scuppers with a hose pipe on him Earlye in the morning!

5:45 pm

now that is resolved!

5:45 pm

5:57 pm

you are right jmc on that. I am not well-versed in Iraq politics to know if that is good or not.

5:58 pm

Bill C-440, a bill in support of US Iraq War resisters, was introduced in the House of Commons today. MP Gerard Kennedy (Parkdale-High Park) introduced the bill, seconded by Bill Siksay (Burnaby-Douglas).

5:58 pm

hey Kate, are you writing?

5:59 pm

I am on a lot lists connected with this issue

5:59 pm

got it from some Friends in canada who are supporting the resisters

6:00 pm

It is way more complicated than Vietnam resisters.

6:01 pm

I am not lobbying here just passing on information -- the babble crowd has many different view points

6:02 pm

but pretty much everyone knows what I do so no one could be surprised by my passing on this information

6:02 pm

wow, I just scrolled down and the converstion suddenly got Very Serious since I came on. sorry.

6:02 pm

well it is an improvement to the pirate talk!

6:03 pm

6:04 pm

I am always happy to spend the day without listening to the news

6:05 pm

my son was out racing his car today

6:05 pm

6:05 pm

6:05 pm

I've found that not being a news juky for a few days gets me a better sleep...

6:05 pm

*junky

6:06 pm

the interesting thing is that if it is really really important some one will always mention it

6:06 pm

no, jmc, I was glad I could do this one Quite easily at last!

6:07 pm

6:10 pm

6:12 pm

JB, that is a clever icon -- Cat9x also uses it :)

6:13 pm

saan, tell Dr. him/her that you are genetically gifted!

6:13 pm

not all pbs runs the same stuff though..the buffalo station caters to the canadian crowd a lot more than most lots of bbc and all things uk

6:13 pm

I think I know more about US politics than Canadian [blush]

6:14 pm

is it a hebrew letter?

6:14 pm

TK -- ditto Seattle PBS here.

6:14 pm

ty, jilibus, I think about changing it, but I just love how 3 simple lines represent the soul of the cat (couldn't think of a way to get it into pirate slang!)

6:14 pm

jmc, don't know what that was. I am such a slow typist that the whole page has rolled by before I can read it.

6:14 pm

No, TK, just a calligraphic cat

6:15 pm

catahrrh

6:15 pm

ah, i see it now...;-)

6:15 pm

I agree -- keep it JB! Cat doesn't come to chat much so it's not really confusing.

10:18 pm

by robbie

10:19 pm

you said you were publishing on amazon.com angel?

10:19 pm

and now it is finished!!!! how will you celebrate?

10:19 pm

I declared yesterday the last day I would be adding any content to the book, except for graphics, which were added today.

10:19 pm

more clues ali ?

OH I got to hold a real bird yesterday and it sat on my shoulder. I was a real pirate for a moment. Angel have you looked at lulu.com for publishing

10:19 pm

yes, I'm going to publish on Amazon,

10:20 pm

celebrate? before or after I collapse from exhaustion? :)

10:21 pm

after of course, you'll need your strethht

10:21 pm

I looked at Lulu, but they seem a little more expensive.

10:21 pm

^_^

Angel I didn;t know that. Best wishes hun

10:21 pm

does no one send gaeys to a brick and mortar publisher anymore?

10:22 pm

galleys

10:22 pm

I really hadn't thought of how to celebrate. I'll be shocked speechless if the book sells!

10:22 pm

well looks like a few around here seemed inteested :-)

10:22 pm

it isn't easy to get in the door with brick and mortar publishers.

10:23 pm

the old catch 22? no name , so can't get published..can't get published, so no name?

10:23 pm

what did you write about angel

Angel you will have to give us a link when you sort it all out

10:24 pm

It was great fun to write. I used to be in the chog all the time with my latest organizing ideas...kje knows! so, I decided to just write it all down...and now I have a manuscript. It's on organizing, personal finance and frugality.

10:25 pm

I will. actually, ch1212 was the one who convinced me to really write it...she was frantic...she said she wanted a book she could HOLD.

10:25 pm

cool I love books like that. one of my favorites is by the woman on pbs..i forget her name now..juilie morgenstern?

10:26 pm

must tend to food, bbs

Good Angel. The women that did 4 ingredients book now sell a lot

10:26 pm

correct, Kate. I hate that Catch-22!

10:27 pm

I especially like frugality tips. I am getting real cheap iin my old age. I made my own shampoo today.

10:28 pm

ali, you would really like my book, then. I have all sorts of Make Your Own tips

10:28 pm

Cool! What do you make yourself?

10:28 pm

I go to play with my boyfriend for a while. Talk to you later.....

10:29 pm

by jade

Angel I would love to look at it. Enjoy Jade. I may run off I seem to be drooling and looking at nothing

10:30 pm

I will put a link in my profile when it's ready to be purchased.

YAH Angel that would be awesome

10:31 pm

I make many of my own recipes; I make salsa, and homemade bread, and I make my own household cleaner.

10:32 pm

I haven't spent a dime on commerical cleaners in two years.

10:32 pm

I live among many diy'ers and I learned how to make soap (from lye) over the years.

10:33 pm

I tried bread but it got to be a hassle.

10:33 pm

I make my own laundry detergent also

10:33 pm

lalundry det?

10:33 pm

and I know how to fold a fitted sheet as flat as it is when it comes out of the packaging

10:33 pm

ooh...that is on my todo list. I have all the ingredients. Just need to do it.

10:34 pm

wow..is your name Martha?

10:34 pm

oooh that i can do...but i have been called ocd for that..sigh no one understands me

10:34 pm

I made bread and soup today for dinner. And, I keep a container of bread mix that I put together myself in the freezer so it will be very quick to use next time I need bread

Some of the girls were stunned that I made my own Damper as I ran out of bread and money

10:35 pm

no, I am not Martha :) I'm just me.

10:35 pm

what is damper

10:36 pm

damper? please translate herin

10:36 pm

where are you ali?

10:36 pm

making your own laundry det saves lots of money.

10:37 pm

I am in michigan

10:37 pm

but how?

10:37 pm

my interest in organizing and frugality/saving money began just before we bought our house in 2007.

10:37 pm

detroit?

10:37 pm

we grow a garden and just put in some lavender plants and r considering extracting the oil

10:38 pm

tk..no west michigan

10:38 pm

laundry det = borax, castille soap, washing soda

10:38 pm

Kate, the ingredients in homemade laundry detergent are very inexpensive. You pay mostly for advertizing when you buy it in the stores. and it really is mostly water.

Sorry Damper is like bread

10:39 pm

if you do a search online for laundry det you'll find lots of recipes..or check out Angels book

10:39 pm

ali, I even have a US phone number in the book for ordering washing soda

Its flour and water mostly

10:39 pm

ok..now I am impressed. it is hard for people to find some of these ingredients

10:39 pm

I never use chlorine bleach any more, either.

10:40 pm

my homemade cleaner is amazingly versatile and very eco-friendly.

10:41 pm

I have links for all kinds of helpful tips and information, too. about half the book is a resource list.

10:41 pm

can't remember the last time i saw borax on the shelf in a store..like laundry blueing(for whites) it has gone the way of the donosaur here

10:41 pm

Well i tried the no 'poo' shampoo today on my daughter. water and baking soda and then rinse with vinegar and water and some lavender oil for smell

10:41 pm

I just bought blueing!

10:41 pm

I buy borax all the time locally.

10:41 pm

washing soda = baking soda? know it can be used to treat stains

10:42 pm

you have to search tk but its there

10:42 pm

baking soda and washing soda are not the same, Kate

10:42 pm

washing soda doesn't = equal baking soda

10:42 pm

washing soda doesn't = equal baking soda

10:43 pm

I can even make my own dishwasher detergent.

10:43 pm

baking soda can also be used to boost your regular detergent and destinkify clothes

10:43 pm

I have not tried that angel

10:43 pm

oh my..too much info for my tired little brain to absorb...must tend to food again..bbs

10:43 pm

when I go to the market I don't buy much there anymore

10:43 pm

herin still here?

10:44 pm

ali, have you ever burned anything in a pan on the stove when you cook? I know how to get all of the burned on gunk/stains out of a scorched pot.

10:44 pm

so do I. :)

yes I am here

10:44 pm

you're preaching to the choir here angel. I have friends that make ketchup!

10:45 pm

I don't ever buy fabric softener any more, either. and I use fabric softener sheets for lots of things...but never in the dryer.

Angel i use bi carb and vinegar

10:46 pm

I wonder what percentage of supermarkets now are processed foods. We don't buy much of that anymore

10:46 pm

:) herin

10:47 pm

a lot is processed. that's why people have so many illnesses and allergies

10:47 pm

ohhhhhhhhhhh don't start talking illness and allergies! I have a brainful of that.

10:48 pm

so, I do a lot myself. it's cheaper and tastes lots better.

10:48 pm

We started doing raw goats milk but decided I am not going to chance the ecoli bit.

10:48 pm

entire aisle devoted to crisps/chips and the like...what a sad commentary on our shopping habits and western culture in general....instant gratification in a bag....sigh

10:49 pm

I agree tk. although i must admit it is tempting for me, especially passing the donut area!

10:50 pm

love sweets, don't get me wrong , but am never in that aisle at all

10:50 pm

if only instant gratification wasn't such a killer!

10:50 pm

there is an entire generation that thinks cooking is taking something out of the freezer and zapping it in a microwave oven.

10:51 pm

I'm off to bed...see you tomorrow.

10:52 pm

just got a new korean bakeshop here.. lots of sweet breads made into buns with really nice fillings..unless you had to have choclit, you'd never eat another donut again, at least not from a groc. store...don't you get your fix at dunkin's anyway????

10:53 pm

point well made angel. gn

loves Angel

10:54 pm

herin loves everyone

A lot of my food comes out of the freezer and is dinged in the MIcrowave. Difference is I make it then freeze it

Trader

10:55 pm

10:55 pm

10:56 pm

10:56 pm

10:56 pm

10:56 pm

10:58 pm

Well, babblers. I am off for now too! nite. Maybe I'll see you at the flip.

10:58 pm

Pini. I told him i am a hazard in the kitchen. We cooked breaky together and i dropped an egg. He said he was going to look after me on Friday night (awwwww)

Hopes kate can find yummy food

11:39 pm

what a good "himself"! and still sorry you're not feeling well.

Its just a stupid head cold but I can't take the usual drugs as they either clash with anti depressants or send me hyper. If you know the drug Ritalin just give me that and I am a humming bird

11:41 pm

wow, herin...cold-turkeying the cold...that's gotta suck, but, then again, a good dose of something that makes you loopy for a little bit could be a good thing! ;-)

11:41 pm

done and waiting? or racing to beat the clock?

I have taken a cough syrup but that does enough to stop me sounding like I am trying to remove my lungs

11:42 pm

hey, kje...

11:42 pm

I think we're all waitin' for the flip ;)

11:42 pm

11:46 pm

Saw my name was in the grid once.It would be sa5/12

I make the suggestion of buying the same moose incase that one gets lost, misplaced or needs a bath

11:46 pm

so we will call you sa5/12 from now on - LOL... weed has taken to calling me di7

11:47 pm

tradewre was in grid 2/ weeks ago!

11:47 pm

oh, good idea, herin...I'll have to remind my dau to get another one!

11:47 pm

am eating /lurking for a bit...

My friends little one lost Teddy the other day she wouldn't go to sleep

11:47 pm

I wonder what mine would be...hmmm...I'll have to take a moment to figure it out...

11:47 pm

ju5/11 - that's me!

because sometimes Mosses the moose will need a bath

11:47 pm

(and I'm a phantom in this grid!)

11:48 pm

impossible to be 5/11

11:48 pm

no kidding, herin!!!! LOL

11:48 pm
