good night - see you at the flip!
thanks -- I thought it was sooner. I have an old friend coming to visit on Oct 6 -- staying at Hastings House with a friend.
night jessmom
lovely place for them to stay, Jilli. Grounds are so well kept
Should be nice for them.
She had a stroke a few years ago so needs a walker.
could be a little awkward with the stairs, perhaps there's another way?
she checked about handicapped facilities, so I assume it's ok.
diningroom service is lovely
well, didn't find any more words, goodnight for last time

Quiet here today...
hi Sue, guess everyone has finished
Hi lynxx - they must have done, but it's not often this quiet!
BBS
Me too!

morning all
hi Spritley!
hi lyn :) xxx How are you today?
very well, and you
sprite!
what has happened with your husband sleeping?
am good, apart from back aching. Hi kje :D
still awaiting the test results, will get them on the 29th.
glad it is a small grid for you then, you should not be sitting
hi kje, how have you been!
good spritey, ad you?
I met the most lovely dutch couple in stoinigton, maine
am good.
stonington
sorry, n is sticky
how nice, kje
where oh where are my last 9?
Ata :D *hugs* How is the knee, how are the knots and how are you?
hi Ata, with my 22
knee blech, knotwork good, me good!
could be worse then. Oh, I finished Anathem.
ooooo!
they write rounds together and made me sing with them, sprite - in their 90s
awwwwww kje, they sound like lovely people!
on the street?
is that for me lynxx?
yes
no, they own a little shop called the sign of the purple fish... she is an artist, watercolors
it is a very good read, Ata. I am sure I haven't got all the implications etc, but I think I got quite a few and it is SMART. Very well put together. Gets a bit more exciting in the last part too. And many lines come together at the end, though not like a revelation.
fab!
they sound very interesting
the sign of purple fish... intriguing. Did they tell where they got the name from?
no.... do you kow?
nope, was wondering!
one girl on my ship was born in the netherlands and moved here when she was 9 months, but learned dutch from her mother, and so they sang her all these children's ducth songs
or better grammar - dutch children's songs - LOL
Ata, some basic knowledge of known philosophies will help appreciate the book... Most 'lines' are discussed and even explained, without any obvious link to the names we know.
that must have been great, kje :D
they were very sweet - love to see them out there doing so well
oh and you do know French, right? It has many hidden references to french. Like Rayzun Det. And small little jokes like the word joicetick.
sounds all fun!
yep you will like it. But I think you will be able to put it away easily in between, as I did. It does not sweep you up and drag you along. But it makes one think. A lot.
I will look for a copy!
sometimes I feel like I want to move out of the netherlands as well, kje. I still might if that ugly Wilders has his way.
I could loan you mine, if you want, Ata.
it's ok, I like my own copies :)
well, sprite, if you do, come here...
hehehe I know the feeling. So do I. Our home has books in every room.
i have 3 left ad have nuttin
:D That would be wonderful, kje.
left me all alone kje
du5?
du and most of someone not telling the truth.

ty kje *looks*

oh pffff, should have seen that!
thanks kje
any clues needed before i go?
and something totally different but very good, Ata: Mercedes Lackey's series of Joust, Alta, Sanctuary and Aerie.
yes, clue along, kje, I don't want you to go.
OK, weird word - wa4/12
there are usually 4 in a room
lol
thanks :D

i am going to try and catch a few more zzzzz... 0540 here
TY for the fl7 Ata
bye kje, have a good weekend
sleep well kje! *hugs*
you too, lynxxxx - btw, did you make the banana bread ater "nagging" me for it?
30 left, so far so good. Thanks to you guys of course.
after
ummm, well, hmmm, no actually, it was pecan wasn't it - they are so expensive here, need to find smaller quantity and therefore smaller price - but I WILL make it
oh can I nag you for it too, kje? Sounds so delicious!
its done 9tanks, prethi
make it sans nuts.... or use walnuts.... or wait a couple months and i will mail you some of our harvest - they grow in people's yards here
what is done, jitesh?
walnuts?
pecans
walnuts, can do, thanks
gn
night night, kje :)
Just put that recipe on my profile if you want to take a copy Sprite
wonderful, thanks lyn
lyn, what is shortening?
fat/butter - I need to google what to use as a substitute too
apparently to make milk sour , you put a spoon of vinegar in the milk
lard, I think
ah, was wondering about that too! Usually we try to NOT get our milk to sour.
or lemon juice
margarine or (real) lard for the shortening
ah I found it, difference between butter/margarine or shortening is, that the latter does not contain moisture. But I see that we can replace it with butter anyway.
I noticed in our supermarket they had small boxes of lard - beats making it yourself! I have vivid memories of helping mum render down the fat for lard
how does one do that? Render lard from fat?
boil the great lumps of (say) beef fat until it melts
strain out the imperfections
I see, pretty intensive job!
reminds me of the insult lardarse - very descriptive
can I just say that we should all be in the PB?
of course! how weird is that
ouch, you are right. Ok, PB party then! My girl just made an apple pie.
lol I just realised!
I guess one could call me one, lyn
not alone there Sprite
*grin*
what did your scan show Ata?
that the ACL is too floppy!
darn! You already thought so, I believe. And now what?
lol, and that was the exact medical opinion was it
that's exactly what he said!!! :P
now I get to go see a knee surgeon ...
they will operate? and do you know how long it will take to heal after that? sometimes those things take months and months don't they
operation then. My neighbour's son had such an operation. Took him a few weeks to fully recuperate, but after that the knee was perfectly fine. Hope same will be for you!
they *probably* will. not certain yet
and it shouldn't take too long, they said up to 6 months before absolute perfect (literally) running around
that will be a relief then...hope you can get it done ASAP
me too! hopefully should get appt with surgeon next week / week after
is on,y an overnight stay in hospital
will keep fingers crossed it can be done quickly and it will heal perfectly.
me too!!!
just so crazy that a simple slip could lead to all of this
we'll see what happens!
ditto for Jac
I know!! but apparently most ligament injuries occur in stupid ways like that, not very dramatic problems
I'm off, can't be bothered finding these last few tonight. Goodbye to you both, have a good Saturday
Bye lyn, have a nice evening and sleep well xxx
lol bye dear!
so true, Ata, lol. Like tripping over a threshold, or picking something up from the floor, or wanting to catch something. Small things with huge consequences.
yep!
I once broke a rib because of a coughing fit. Crazy!
oooops!
finally ended up at the hospital and when the doctor said it was broken, I looked at her and said: I just coughed, i did not fight or fall!
and she said: most people don't realise the enormous powers that go with coughing and sneezing.
it makes for a fun party story, grin. I hope your knee will soon too. As a part of the past!
if you didnt close your eyes while sneezing, your eyeballs could pop out with the force
oh I heard that before. Isn't that a fully automated reflex?
must be
bodies are amazing. All the things that go on inside that we don't know half about! Like the power reserves we apparently have. As proven by people on pcp, or mothers that can lift a car when their kid is stuck under it.
absolutely!
Hello, Ata & Spritey :-)
zooz! *huggles!*
hi zooz!
how is today, zooz?
Not too bad, thanks..How are you keeping Spritey?
hello everybody
Hello, Ruby!
jumping into this little grid for a few minutes -- busy busy day!
hi rubyfoo :)
hi ruby!
am good, zooz. One day is better than the other, but that is pretty normal. I will never give up, so it is a given I will eventually go forward even more ;)
A good way of looking at things :-)
pfui, last word is a T6. It is either a fish or a weird one, I bet.
there's a T6 chemical
If you don't mind my debunking a myth, your eyes won't pop out if you leave them open when you sneeze.
thanks Ata, that must be the one *looking*
hello, Lawyer :-)
well, no, cos they are attached at the back. But I think the idea is if they weren't
that was always my assumption anyway!
but suppressing a sneeze can pop a disc!
back later for last 5 :)
Take care Ata, nice to see you :-)
you lot too! *hugs*
ah got it, thanks again Ata, fireflies. Hi lawyer! Good to see you.
Some people sneeze with their eyes open; most do not
I pulled a muscle pulling up my socks..lol
Good morning, all
bye Ata, have a grand day!
nice work, sprite!
WTG Spritey!!
that'll teach you to wear socks, zzoozz!
lol zooz, yes that is another of those small things that lead to bigger problems.
I have never liked not wearing socks..unless camping or on beach :-)
lol rubyfoo!
I agree with you zzoozz; I never go without socks and/or hose!
I used to go barefoot whenever I could. Now with the stupid feet I can't, not even indoors. Life is funny that way.
I never wear socks in the warm weather unless I am expecting visitors at work
anyone here ever watched Coupling, a British series?
it's not on Fr TV
what is it?
but you are right Sprite, amazing how the body can keep going under very stressfull times, as in injuries and things.
I never watched it, Sprite, but I practiced it.
Not seen it myself either.
it needs practice?
it is a series about a handful couples, young people. Very witty, very funny. There is this silly woman who talks through a sock puppet one day. Somebody pulls off her sock. And she hides her arm quickly inside her blouse, saying: Eeeks, I'm nude!"
If I can practice law, I can practice coupling.
lol lawyer... keep practicing it!
but don't try to combine them.
that is a riot, sprite!
will have to google it to see.
yes, and much much better when you see it. The dialogues are hilarious.
hi
hello Lady!!
hi lady :)
hello
Hello, Herin :-)

* yawn * g'morning all
hi Scrabs ;)
Hi Pini!
flit
Free clue!
thx but already have that one :)
* giggle *
How's it going?
scrabs, daniel just dictated a letter to you!
morning weed :)
and he says your bunny is "such a cute one"
I am contemplating getting off the couch, taking a shower, and gathering up discarded computers, monitors + printers in my basement, removing hard drives, and bringing them into town for a fundraiser.
Oh, cool, FeatherBee. *racing to FB*
hi pini! still kicking my butt in lex?
whoops...sorry! :)
I should do that, too, Scrabs!!! Have 3 out in the spare room...
weed, I can assure you it is simply the sheer luck of the draw...and definitely a fluke for me! :)
gotta go get lunch before nick gnaws on my legs. bbs.
enjoy!
Best Buy accepts computers/etc, but our local hospital is having a fundraiser. Somehow they will make $5 for every item donated. I have to remove the hard drives first.
I need to figure how to grab the harddrives and get everything off of them onto (maybe) CD...
I just read about that--removing the hard drive then making it into a "slave driver" and either backing it up or erasing it.
slave drive? like "external drive"?
So, it's time to get a screwdriver to open the CPUs. Bye. 80 words for later.
have fun!
No, take the old HD and place it into another CPU--if the CPU won't function. Or, if CPU works then back it up and erase it.
gotcha! I can handle that ;)
back for a few!
lol, read your letter, and he answered your questions as i was reading. kindergarten is going good. "maybe" there are some more mills around. nick said "hmm?" when we said hello to him for you. LOL
looks and sounds like the two of you had a very nice meet up, weed...and the children, too
hi all
hi m9
Hi folks.
hi hydra
Hi Pinikula
Hi to my fellow babblers!How is everyone doing today
hi min ;)
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
I'm finding it a bit hard, Minver
The list helps a lot! I got 55 listless. I went to list and now I am down to seven words left.Use the list hydra
Good day all!!
Like you, I started using it at 50-something, but am still getting stuck!
Hi Jilly
LOL, I started last night and listed at 25 *wimps out*. But it was the only way to get nbt!!
I listed at 68 and am now down to 1
whatever works, Jilly! :)
Go Pinikula go!
I have 32 left
Being interrupted by next doors very noisy cat!
The monkeys were hard at work even with Lickety's.
44 here
She's grabbing my mouse hand!
yikes! tell her to get her own!
She's won the battle. See you later!
i got to 1/2 word over 1/2way and listed!
Goodbye hydra! I will see you later on in the chat log!
Bye Hydra!!
1/2 word? interesting
(odd number of words today)
gotcha ;)
ga
Hello tceicher! How are you? Welcome to the chat log
f
S's Stomped! 1 left
I'll save my last word for later on today.Be back later
what does your 1 start with? mine's an A
Perhaps I'll save mine for later, too...off for now...
whoops...found it on the way out!
<<--- have this toy.. but ours is NOT in good shape!LOL
my parents have that one, too! among a few other fisher price play spaces...
farm, gas station, etc.
castle was one of our favorites ;)
cool! this one was my husband's family's. the music box in it still works. but that's about all i can say for it.
fisher price had some great toys!!!
(but I'd best be going for now...gotta get ready for a football party in a bit)
i know! I wanted one of those pull toys for my pic.. but didnt find it.
ok. have fun!
Ahh you youngsters! This was my original Barbie doll...needless to say, NOT in this condition.
have a great day! bbl
Bye Pini!
you're not THAT much older than I, unless you wrote your profile ages ago!LOL
No, but it seems Fisher-Price was dividing line..had only pull toys that I remember. Just having the original Barbie make me feel OLD.
looking at vintage toys I kept seeing the cymbol monkey... now I have the ernie kovacs song from those monkeys stuck in my head..
That would be a great choice for babble icon with how much monkeying we do!! LOL
I can help with song...everyone now "This is the song that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends...
true! and i almost used it!
sheri lewis!
Yeah...now THAT was a kids show!! How about Captain Kangaroo?
yer hi lar ee ous jilly
loved the captain. and jp patches
Mr Greenjeans!!
but I'm a Mr. Rogers gal through and through
I became one with my boys...and Sesame Street.
ok.. here's a song: Countin' flowers on the wall..
can anyone name the connection to what we're talkin' about?
:( Cannot recall that.
statler brothers song. .
hello all...something about playing with a deck of 51??? m9?
yes.. here's the chorus:
Countin' flowers on the wall That don't bother me at all Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do
that's it!
lol...NOW I get the connection!
Hiya Nonnie!!
hello jilly!
Have a funny tale about my travails last night...anyone interested?
there should be a line in there about playin' babble!LOL
sure jilly...tell us a tale
sure jilly
Was working our hospital foundation fundraiser as the cashier (raffle and auction). Band playing after auction and lead singer was composer of famous 1980's song...
So I am counting $$ and all of a sudden he's singing "8675309*....good Lord!!
Jenny I've got your number!
lol---messed with your counting???
Try counting stacks of $20 bills...I wanted him to STOP...lol...my head still hurting!!
Too funny!!!! Tommy Tutone
Oh, to make life more fun..not great planning...I had NO light, and NO calculator!!
poor jilly
It's one thing when truly GREAT rockers (like Rolling Stones) continue to perform....but these one hit wonders....bleh/meh!!
lol sort of painful.
some of those small venue concerts can be good though. the firefighters in our little podunk when I lived near seattle had johnny tilitson.. and that was fun!
Remember "Lover Boy"?
The album with him in red leather pants (buns only)?
oh yeah....
and from what i'm seeing.., his fingers crossed.
watching them without sound. kind of painful..LOL
They opened for ZZ Top (who were awesome). To put it nicely...leather pants on a balding beer bellied man....you HAD to close your eyes...
LOL
not a sharp dressed man, eh?
LOL
Watching the Beach Boys perform was a painful experience. Brian Wilson was drunk and couldn't hardly stand on his own. They brought in a stool for support. That work for a while until he finally fell.
yikes!
any of you watched Music and Lyrics?
yep...waste of good money.
They played here a few weeks ago. I had seen them in early and late 70's but didn't even feel any need to see them again!
no, m9 I have not.
Me neither.
it's worth paying a buck to see...
the premise is the old pop star still playing county fairs and such...
It is funny?
his character (hugh grant's) old band is based on wham! I think it's hilarious
I went to HS in CA and we had a fundraiser where the "Monkeys Revisted" played... they had been a big thing when I was in grade school and it really removed naivety from my life!!
watch the opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGLXpIo jJkg
Will put it on our Netflix...sounds like great entertainment.
the character that's kind of a take-off on britney spears -- her scenes are a bit risque if that kind of stuff bothers you... but it's SO funny (to me at least)
OMG..just watched...looks really good m9..thanks
isn't that funny!!??
it's not set in that time period.. it's about his "has been" ness..
and it has drew barrymore
Did the 80's have any really long lasting bands?
with a few notable exceptions,the 80,s was the nuclear wasteland of music
I loved her entering the room dissing the band then she sees his "wall of fame"...to cute
ac/dc?? aerosmith??
hello crossy

huey lewis and the news
hall and oats 70s I beleive
hall and oates were ok,and of course dire straits rose above all that crap
Just happy to have the vision of Lover Boy gone..lol
believe, that is but could be wrong
phil collins was doin' his own thing..
crossy love mark knoflers guitar licks;0
Huey lives here in our valley and pops in on events.
He's verging on the "has been" cliche...
Was Devo the band that wore the funny hats?
they did
Ya, but Phil Collins started with 70's in Genesis
no one's mentioned lionel ritchie!!
heh heh heh
Yes they were Nonnie
whlie all that was going on i kept the wall album and dark side of the moon playing non stop till 1990 lol
lol crossy---my huasband still does
lol
I listened to Bruce Springsteen also
me too actually.
and bruce.
I listened to a lot of records in the 80s joni mitchell, phil och's
zz, santana, billy joel, beatles, etc...
phil ochs...he was late 60,s early 70,s was he not?
im gonna say it now and the like..he hubng himself
hung
memory recall failure
ohhhh i am just a studelnt sir and i would only like to learn,but it hard to read from the rising smoke of the books that you like to burn....strong stuff
yeah ... I thought Phil Ochs had killed himself by 68 or 70
but thats what I was listening to. instead of the radio..
I'm the youngest of 9 kids...
I had a lot of records to choose from
LOL
Gotta run...family is coming and I need to get some stuff done. Take care all.
i did not have a television in the house till i got married,10 grand worth of audio equipment and 600 records in milk crates lol
nice crossy!
then......THE WIFE CAME!!!..insert ominous music here
hey ... it was great music ... my teenager play Beatles 1 ... and my twenty something sits in bars drinking dark ale , smoking cigarettes and listening to Dylan ... ever so 1963 ..
I liked visiting my big sister freda.. they had a lot of records that they treated like babies, and headphones.
LOL
at Freda's I memorized all the songs from Hair. and they had lots of P,P and M and such
lol Crossy...we had custom made cabinets a few years ago to fit my hubby's 500+ albums....LOVE that vinyl sound!!
my bro ralph had average white band, santana, pink floyd and such.
My sister michele was really into punk, new wave.
I bought him one of those mp3 converter turntables and he's gradually copying the vinyl!!
there is something about vinyl and the cover art and the special sleeves..it is a sensory thing ,a visual thing..especially on my old phillips quad system;)))
And angela was into cat stevens, joni mitchell, carol king , feminist artists and local lesbian artists.LOL
My husband named it a "religious experience"
where I babysat I memorized all of one of Carly Simon's albums.
Well, guys...must at least get dressed. bbl to finish the 20 I have left. Really have enjoyed the chat today!
i love cat stephens,used to listen to him in the evenings to unwind
ok.. gotta go! Tim has to do a drive for work and I'm gonna accompany him.
27 words left too!
hey all! Chiming in on artists we love: Neil Diamond is so dreamy!
Sweeeeeet MizHoffle... dun dun DUN
halo, m9!
so good, so good, so good!
I have seen him twice in concert and he never fails to disappoint
allo peeps...back in to finish...perhaps...
hello Pav! yeah, trying to knock off a bit more of the grid, probably never finish though!
oh m9, your turn in the scrabble game!
i think m9 left
oh all right, ta!
gd evening everybody
good evening, ruby
i have a feeling i am not using the Ws to their full potential here
yeah, not listed yet so no clue!
just read over the chog -- too funny reading about everybody's tastes in music. I started with Elvis (who we all thought was black at first) and all the early doo-wop stuff.
how many do you have leslie, I've wanquished the w's
Afternoon everyone, I started this morning after work and only found 28 before I feel shamefully asleep, not I must catch up!!!
Bowie! Bowie! my bedroom walls used to be plastered with posters of him in my teens, ha! had all his albums as they came out and wore them all out as well, lol!
haha. i am doing ok with 6, but i meant i haven't used them in many other words
halo, red!
favorites: (after doo-wop, of course), Led Zep, Canned Heat, Beatles, Rolling Stones, X, The Clash, The Police and on and on
that is amazing rubyfoo about Elvis. When I was a Kid I thought WIlson Pickett was a white country singer kind of guy, my Dad thought that was hysterical...
I a big grateful dead fan...child of my era I suppose.
well yeah, who didn't like The Beatles, eh?
Hi Geroge.
and T-Rex, Marc Bolan -- fab, just fab!!
I was born in '43 so was about 12 or 13 when I first listened to r and r
oh yeah? '61 here
I grew up with a lot of Jazz and stuff like Aretha...
went to the Brokklyn Paramount and saw Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and everybody. I was very lucky
and KISS...I am a fan of Kiss.
thats really neat ruby, the only band I have ever seen in a show was of course, the Grateful Dead...
yeah, always loved Motown, soul, ragga, all that! Stevie Wonder, of course!
I started to like jazz when I was 16. I used to use my older sister's ID to get into jazz clubs and knew a lot of the famous musicians
you can have KISS, red......ha!
ok down to 2 left the last wa4 12, still mponkeying with no end in sight...and the ar7, which looks like a combo, if brain were on might see
my son was a Deadhead for a long time, used to go to their shows all over the place
They look nuuts, but I actually like some of their songs now, I am a child of the 70's and 80's...but not a big fan of 80's pop at all!
his wife likes the Monkees (!!) and the Foo Fighters
well we can't all have taste, ruby, lol!
wa 4/12 has two consonants at the end, one a 5-pointer, pav
you know this gris is not entirely as bad as it was this morning...
but she likes my son!
well the 80's was my thing, New Romantic!
Go Pav go!!!
was in the midst of it all back then when it happened though, it was the best!!
what about Traffic? High Heeled Boys.....
I remember liking Prince a lot, but I am not such a big fan any more.
wa4/12 also sounds like what a room has 4 of
oooh thanks Leslie ann!!
ooh, ta, LeslieAnn -- stupid thing is, I knew that word but couldn't see it!
yeah, I love Prince's music, red!!
play it quite a lot!
thansk Leslie! now one left..
He was really different, for some reason now I am not as fond, but, I think it's just me not his music...
oh yeah?
she wore a rasberry beret......
the kind you find in a second hand store.....
k done!...Happy BD to me! have a great day everyone...no sugar unless I'm there!
oh congrats! and happy day pav!
Happy B-day PAV and also Happy New Year!
happy bday Pav!
hello wildcat!
Is there any flooding in Austin?
my boy lives on Barton Creek
yes, for some reason George I like the music a little less...but you know thts just me.
yes ruby lots
lots of creeks overflowed ... the lakes are way up
have you heard from him this week?
eh, we all like what we like, or not, red!
no, I haven't, wildcat, which is why I was worried. His house backs onto the creek, fortunately high up, but still
he should be ok, may have some flood damage ... there were only a couple of deaths and they were mostly idiots who went around barricades
may be some phone lines still out or something
who's that, ruby?
my son lives in Texas and wildcat lives in the same tow
town*
I'm a mile uphill from our normally little creek. It took some major damage
there's still water everywhere
wow, I had no idea it was so bad. I'm going to try calling him now
we measured a foot of rain here
is your little creek part of Barton Creek?
no I"m north
Wooow Wild, I hope all is OK, though I am sure Muddy!
well, that's it for me for now, going for dinner with a m8, might check in later if there's time to finish!
yes we're ok, yes very muddy, lots of people cleaning up
have fun, kids! xx
usually you can walk across the creek behind his house
have a good din din George.
not right now I"m sure
bye George
when there is a lot of rain animals and snakes come up to his house.....
had trouble at first, then went to list early and flew through 104. ar7 is my last one
hope you reach him ruby
It's a mean one, Leslie - compound ar* + ****of laundry
iI've got him on the phone right now and he's fine
Catching up here - Hope your son's fine and the house not full of snake!
oh thanks helen! fireworks here
Off now - Library has a "read for fines" today - and you can donate the time you read to fines for people who can't afford to pay them, so I hope to read there all afternoon!
congrats leslie
wonderful! did he get a lot of water?
Great Leslie - isn't that an aw** word?
great thing to do helen, have fun!
no water at all, wildcat AND I think he's coming to visit the last week of September!!! yay
great!
read for fines sounds very cool indeed.i download my books electronically from the libraries now..get them for 17 days then the download degrades and you uninstall it..no more fines;))
and on that note, with 59 words, I'll say good night!
Hiya Babble dudes and dudettes!

my day got off to a different start than I was planning... I should get it back on track.. sigh.
that happens from time to time
going to make doughnuts with my daughter for sure today.
and i missed the farmer's market..
ah well.
went for a drive with my hubby instead (he had to do a long errand for work)
has anyone ever made pesto with almonds?
hi everyone...in a quandry about the pesto...no pine nuts to be found in this little berg.
try it - I bet it will taste fine
I've heard of walnuts and pecans but not almonds. Butternuts might be best - closer to the pinenutsa
or sunflower seeds?
no sunflower seeds. i'll try a small batch of the almonds and see how it comes out. then will try with pecans. i don't like walnuts...too bitter.
bbl, and i'll let you know how it turns out.
I agree on the bitter. If you've haven't tasted pine nuts they are kinda sweet with a slightly bitter end. Also soft so may need more liquid
with the almonds
armloft
hi all (try brazil nuts)
that's what a butternut is
thought butternuts were white walnuts .. go figure
hi welk
local names I'm sure
brb
you are correct welki ... brazil nuts come from s. america
(just googled it)
mmmmm .. bet pistachio nuts would be good, too
I think the almonds will taste fine .. may be a little different than she's used to, but it should work out
now I'm hungry! bbl
yipes, no one told me that the church across the street was having some sort of festival today ... LOUD band
looks like it's some sort of kid-thing ... inflatable playground, jumping thing .. and LOUD band *lol*
I'm missing a 7 .. have ar and au
dawg? when are you making this pesto? do you want me to send some pine nuts down to you>
she's working on it right now
fl7
ty
ohhh, too bad. i think she's only about 4 hrs from me .. would have even made a good excuse for a road trip :)
like you need an excuse
if only to tell the customs guy :)
give him some too
hello, mr immigration man ... i'm bringing some pine nuts down to my internet pal in montana so she can make pesto. i've brought enough for you, too. (yep, sounds plausible)
of course it does
sounds like i should have renewed my american passport if i wanted to do that, huh?
wouldn't you drive 4 hours each way to deliver pine nuts?
ummm yeah a minor technicality
i could, but maybe we could meet halfway. (i have a canadian passport, was just thinking they'd be less likely to hassle me going into the states if i had my american one current)
but i do have that nexus card which makes border crossing easier
hehehe, all this while dawg is busy in the kitchen
totally unaware
if i'd had more warning (and knew who she is and where she lives), i could have made a surprise delivery!
more technicalities
hate to interupt but does anyone have au 8/50

ty, redshoes, and congrats
Hello dcseain!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid
I didn't know there was a Philly meet up. When was it
it was at 1 PM today. The last of us got on the road again at 3:30
jmcnrick, nrkii, pamfrad, periwinkle, hego, and one other whose handle i forget were there, and hego's hubby.
oh, and me :">
jmc and i rode together from DC, it was a lovely trip.
woo, greyed the left T in one fell swoop
how's your weekend going, minver?
Glad you had a good time.It was a beautiful day for it
Glad you had a good time.It was a beautiful day for it
love your toy, minver. that was one of my favorits when i was young.
Thanks dcseain.I do not remember if I had one, but I do remember seeing it when I was little. Either I had one or my friends had one.
i was surprised that the one my nephew has -- a new one -- still has the rotary dial on it :)
It wouldn't be the same without the rotary dial on it.
Don't the eyes move up & down when you dial phone?
i totally agree, though it's rare to come across a rotary phone nowadays, though we still have one in our house. I know the eyes go up and down when you roll it, i don't recall whether they do or not when you dial. i can confirm that this week, though :)
Oh yes, they go up and down when you pull it. That's right. I bet it costs more now than it did when I had it. Wonder what toys that are out today will become vintage toys.Maybe the expensive American Girl dolls
i bet several of the Doug & Melissa toys will -- they're well built, and i know my nephew loves his little piano from them.
dc, it was my sister marigold you forgot :)
dc, how was the raide home?
ride, even
hello all
Walmart is a phantom, but it would not be accepted.
Hello periwinkle! How are you? Welcome to the puzzle

hi, peri. the ride back was smoother than the ride up. we got back to jmc's place about 6
i then hit the mall to get new boxes of glasses wipes, and i got home about 7:30
good. I was glad to meet all of you.

Hi all. just got here and now want to leave to see the photos of the Philadelphia meet. jmc has such great stories doesn't she seain?

Goodbye dcseain! I''ll see you later on in the chat log.

So Peri, you have a sister Marigold. I did not know that
back :)
marigold was very, very quiet at the meet-up
when I heard that my mind went off on other family names we could have. Like those 2 might have other sisters Daisy and fern etc. I might have a brother called Bugsquash....etc.
i don't pretend to think like others do.

DR, jake is a handsome young man! (not surprised, just affirming what you already knew)
yeah min!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks! The first thing he said after the haircut was MOM- I think I need hair gel now :)
I am just hoping the 6th grade girls do not notice him. ;)
LOL could be... but would he remember to use it? *grin* the hair gel lasted about three days with one of my boys when the haircut was the kind that worked, but ...
oh DR, prepare to be disappointed!
I know... was just joping ...
Of course, i would be more worried if HE were noticing the GIRLS... *mama to mama wink* if he's anything like my kid, he'll have a set of groupies and not realize anything is peculiar.
* hoping
hm. joke + hope = jope?
LOL stidmama!
that works
He has 2 girls he talks about
How is school for the stid kids
not bad. they have had three days, and seem to be coping okay. Of course, the one has three college classes, and only one high school class. College doesn't start for another couple weeks... LOL so of COURSE he likes things so far!
that is a nice schedule at least for now
yep. and the other one got classes he likes and has at least one friend in each class. The social kid really needs those connections.
down to 48, should I try for a few more words?
Yes, Jake was happy that 99% of the kids in his class were the same as last year
You can get a few more words from my story of clues
that's right! thanks Min.

Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the log

Goodbye rururocks!I will see you tomorrow in the log
now let's see if they are showing up in my profile...
di4-5 please......thanks
who's who though nrkii
di + This **d House
Beard = DCSeain
Thanks so much, nrkii.
sorry i am working on an appeal letter and so keep popping in and out.
JMC = pokadot blouse and light sweater
i say recent ru because you had the nice comments a few weeks ago about the women in the chog.
this being after listening to you make snarky remarks for a year and a half.
blonde with red glasses and denim jacket = Periwinkle
so it is possible that the year and 1/2 was the aberration i suppose ;-)
blue blouse = nrkii
pink blouse = Pam
jeez i told this guy to draft a letter NO longer than 2 pages and so he single spaced and narrowed the margins and didn't make paragraphs and left no spaces and thought that would make it all okay
green jacket = hego (helen)
jmc, that guy, is he young? because thats what I used to do all the time in school for length papers...sort of play with the margins...
I did that also
no he is a retired doctor
Thanks for pics nrkii.So nice to see faces with names
i spend a large part of my time telling him not to write letters
would not surprise me if he thought he was outsmarting you
so he thinks the rules do not apply in otherwords.
fireworks
LOL, red is more direct than I am on this subject, but GMTA
wtg NRKII!!! WOHOO
yyaaayy nkrrii!!!
no he really doesn't think like that -- i think he felt he was within the parameters i set but that ever redundant word was necessary to say so i would agree that what he did was great
whoo hoo nrkii
Congratulations nrkii on your fireworks!Good for you
so he writes: We hope that you will access and become familiar with our website
rather than: check out our website
sigh and i just accidently erased an hour's worth of notes by saving my revised version over his version with comments
ooops.
i should just babble instead
bummer!
i hate it when i do that kinda of stuff
oh wait it is after midnite -- no wonder i am tired
i am going to bed -- see you all tomorrow

YAY, red! WTG!!! (Sorry, head buried in grid for a bit htere)
That is not true. I prefer to drink Diet Coke DR1965.
me too! : )
You can do it, DR!!
Why do I always say goodnight at 12:30 and then 10 minutes go by and I'm tempted to stay up for the flip.
ok my last word is the sm6... does it build on the sm5?
Well, my movie took me longer to make than I thought but I am back....hang on minv!!
Cuz you're addicted??? ;-)
An sm6/21 word is sm 5/12 word plus a vowel DR1965
yes dr...add a vowel at end
Hello Jillyjill! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid!
ty_ Fireworks for the first time in a while!
I would say I am more than addicted.Maybe obsessed
Hiya Nef.. how's the hubby doing?
Yay DR...WooT
I now sleep w/my laptop right next to me so if I have insomnia,I can grab my laptop and babble right in bed
I would rather sleep with my laptop than with hubby!
LOL.....oh Minv...great idea..I will start it!!
Congratulations DR1965 on fireworks! Good for you!
Hubby is doing well, Jilly. He fell once this week over the excitement of having a "real" (to code) ramp put in; he just didn't pay attention to his fatigue I think
thanks for the congrats
YAY, DR!!! WTG!!!!
2 phantom words for me today were awful and lawful.
And Walmart too, but that i n't a "real" word per say.
*isn't
25 left and I've hit a wall
I keep seeing damson.
Hi Christine! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
clues for the du5, please?
That du 5/15 word rhymes with J**** Roberts Nef.
I played on'n'off all night, went to sleep at 8:30 am, now I need to find some of the 30 left.
Well,you have 6 more minutes Christine so go gettem
Thanks, Min. that was a very sneaky word!
Any guesses for the next grid size? I guess 103 words
yw
its been nuts for me ... i finished the grid hours ago and ive been having babble withdrawals
The ti5/12 word goes up & down, just like a real ti*** wave. Did anybody notice that word pattern today?
I guess 250 words, Min
999 words? :)
250 would be nifty, but for me to finish would be iffy.
hello
i agree Min
hello all - i guess 183
yeah, I found that word!
305
i willl say 306
hi all
lol jess
I will say nothing, coz I have no idea!
183
(safer that way)
999 wouldn't be fine. Fireworks would never be mine.
