de 6/27

did I kill the chat?

12:56 am

hi Dee, was just off to change icon

welcome back

12:57 am

flosey, how about giving a couple of letters which start your icon clue?

12:57 am

oops, was hurrying!

12:59 am

I left because I don't see the point of calling 2 letters and a number. which are already listed in Lickety. I just find it distracting when I'm trying to find my own words. Others seem to like it, not wanting to open Lickety for some unfathomable (to me) reason), so I' mjust closing the chat when this is going on.

I quite enjoy that part of babble... interesting how we all like different parts

1:00 am

I know you do, dee.

1:00 am

me to jilli, I seldom pay attention to the chat, what's the difference in asking for a clue and using lickety

1:00 am

yup. me too

1:01 am

unless ru is punning, lol

1:01 am

a clue to me is a hint as to the actual word, not just "ab3/56"

1:02 am

yes.

1:02 am

I couldn't agree more, jilli. I try to avoid playing this early because of it.

1:02 am

hi sprite

1:03 am

good morning. Having a wonderful spa day planned with friend, so must play early or not ;)

1:03 am

hello sprite, we very seldom see you at this hour

1:04 am

it used to be my set play time, but I quit because of the nonstop spoilers

1:04 am

Anyway, I've said my piece. Those who like the "calling" can go ahead and do it. I'll be absent, and sorry, because the real clues are such fun. But I can wait.

1:05 am

Glad you hear your opinion, sprite -- so I'm not alone and just a spoilsport.

1:06 am

no hun, you are nothing of the kind. Several people stopped playing at this hour for the same reason.

1:07 am

Very interesting.

1:07 am

of course you are not a spoilsport jilli, we all have the right to our opinion without seeming to sound - what was the word used? cranky!!

1:08 am

lol, had to look back to find the remark!

1:08 am

beautiful icon clue, btw, flosey

1:09 am

btw, thanks, flosey for the icon clue's beginning

1:09 am

thanks sprite

evening almost everyone :)

1:09 am

hey mrP :)

1:09 am

hi mrp :-)

1:09 am

hi mrp

as in almost evening everyone!

it came out wrong first time!

1:10 am

grin I know you meant that.

1:11 am

mrp, I read your bio -- not another taunt from that guy -- jeez!

hi everyone are we all happy/ seems like a bit of niggling going on between the babbling sisters

1:11 am

hello vanilla

hi jilli, sprite, flosey et al :)

yes jilli... it just keeps on coming

The sun is shining here and all is well with this end of the owrld

1:12 am

hi vanilla

the police are dealing with the Mole today

1:12 am

hi vanilla, it is an old argument...

hi vanilla! good to hear!

is there an argument?? sorry, I didn't know

1:13 am

he seems relentless, mrP. This guy needs a major problem in his own life so he will stop focusing on you.

Mind you it means that I'll have to get back to the weeds soon

1:13 am

no hun, argument was already over again

1:13 am

no, mrp and vanilla, just different strokes for different folks

1:14 am

ah vanilla, no beautiful garden without having to weed :P

good, the best part is kiss and make up

ah, fair enough

1:14 am

I never put on make up ;)

sprite, I haven't even been able to drive in the terrible weather! but my friend did take me shopping, so I have the TimTams!!

you're a natuiral

1:15 am

flosey -- wich ge5/16 is your icon?

1:15 am

a natural homely! :D

1:15 am

I have the first one.

1:15 am

mrP, that is yummy! Remember to take your time and save your energy for the important things.

1:15 am

the first one jilli

I spent a few hours enjoying your Koopman Sprite

1:16 am

my Koopman?

i have tried every bloody 'or' monkey and nothing!!

Ton Koopman

1:16 am

ok, thanks flosey -- didn't know it was so pretty!

1:16 am

oh lovely! Lovely music, isn't it.

1:17 am

mrp, do the math!

Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra BAch Cantatas

1:17 am

they can be quite beautiful, had a friend back in TO who was a rock collector, travelled all around Canada and US searching

just got the bugger!!

1:17 am

well oregano is a phantom, mrP ;)

tried every other combo on those two!!

1:18 am

oh the bach cantatas.... (jealous)

Must look up about Klaus Metser soloist excellent

1:20 am

don't know that name, but very glad you enjoyed yourself so well

We miss out on good concerts in our neck of the woods but we just had a classy hall built so here's hoping

1:22 am

having a good place with good acoustics will help draw good orchestras

indeed

1:23 am

refresh, please, if you want to see my icon clue (for mrp's benefit)

1:23 am

vanilla goes straight to the PB :D

1:23 am

T vanilla! morning all

80 wds thats enough for the mo, must go to the weeds hagd all

1:23 am

oh good one, mrP

1:23 am

good one jilli

oops after I come out of the PB

1:24 am

bye vanilla, you too

1:24 am

and thanks vanilla, didn't have that one

1:24 am

ok. fw and i'm to bed!

1:24 am

lol vanilla, just grab some goodies and be on your way... PB is as much a reward as a punishment ;)

1:24 am

hello glant

1:25 am

night m9, sleep well

1:25 am

and hey glant :)

1:25 am

*poof*

1:25 am

wow m9!

what did my icon do??

1:25 am

Hi Jilli, Sprite

1:25 am

and wtg m9!

on ya m9!!

hi glant :)

1:26 am

yikes, mrp! Just took a good look at your icon!

1:26 am

Hi Mr P

1:27 am

omg that is brilliant. And am I glad I don't have that in my storage!

1:27 am

lol, did that come from a school Chem. lab

you like!??

1:27 am

as long as the lid stays on mrp

it is a word in the grid... but just spelt different and a part of a foot instead!

1:28 am

well, not exactly LIKE...

1:28 am

it is also a cryptic clue for a grid word!

it is for sale in wal-mart....

in china!

1:28 am

oh my, mrp -- slightly farfetched!

1:28 am

nah, works for me, jilli, lol

1:29 am

ewweewewew

oh jilli! must forward you the email!! is your email in your profile??

1:30 am

may I have it too, mrP? Am not at home so cannot steal your icon pic now :(

i see the email... will forward now

1:30 am

oh yuk! Although I did like frogs' legs...

yes sprite, it will come shortly

1:30 am

poor flosey, *grin* Here, dear, let me cover your eyes...

1:30 am

yes, mrp, down at the bottom -- but you already have it anyway

1:31 am

(I hope we didn't scare dee away)

1:32 am

well sprite, at least I'm not AFRAID of them, unlike snakes - when the kids were here they were taking pictures in the garden, amongst them was a snake with his head about 3 - 4 " in the air

1:32 am

that must be awful when you are afraid of snakes. I think they are beautiful, but I steer clear from them in real life.

1:33 am

shouldn't think so, jilli, volleymumdee said she found the different opinions interesting.

1:33 am

I've tried forever to get over it, but no luck, I just avoid gardening

1:34 am

yes, but she's been very silent ever since. Wouldn't want to spoil her fun.

1:34 am

oh darn flosey, what a shame! So sorry that took away the fun of gardening for you. But I can imagine how it would.

1:34 am

thankfully we only have two kinds of snake here - both rare - and the only one likely to be found in gardens is harmless

1:34 am

she does leave early sometimes though Jilli

1:35 am

true, flosey, but rarely without a "goodbye"

1:35 am

we do have snakes in the netherlands, but I have never seen one in our garden or actually anywhere near houses.

1:35 am

yes, that's true jilli

1:35 am

on 2 separate days, Dave came in and said he saw 5 while he was there

1:36 am

so sorry flosey :( And there is probably no way on earth to make a garden snake proof

1:36 am

our property is quite large and much of it is wild, heavily treed

1:36 am

I don't mind snakes at all -- at least not the little ones I see sometimes in the garden -- they always glide away and hide.

1:36 am

sprite, they do more good for a garden than I can

1:37 am

would it be possible to snake-proof a part of your property, flosey? So you can still enjoy gardening without having to be afraid?

1:37 am

what a charitable thought aboutsomething that scares you, flosey!

1:37 am

not easily, sprite

ok, sent... check emails girls

jilli I had a saltspring email for you??

1:38 am

can't until I am home again, mrP, but thanks, will find it after the vacation :D

but sent it to the one you have on your profile

1:38 am

oh -- that doesn't work any more, mrp -- did you get the new one from my bio?

ah, vacation time!! I still get my bloody emails during vacation... lucky you!

1:39 am

I see you did -- good.

yes jilli

1:39 am

phantom android keeps getting in my way

1:40 am

flosey: I got it! You probably have something like a veranda, anywhere you can hang and put big plant pots. You could make a mini garden with those and tend to it close to the house without having to worry.

1:40 am

tried it too Glant

1:40 am

in6, Glant!

1:41 am

oh yes sprite, we have a large deck on east side of house and a small deck outside of my office

1:41 am

and thankyou Sprite, for being so concerned

1:42 am

I even have roses on the deck

1:42 am

my friend used to have only a very small balcony and she always turned it into a real garden of eden.

1:42 am

miniature roses

1:43 am

and now i have a phantom ardent - the ardent android ;-)

1:43 am

aw that is sweet! They are so pretty. Yes of course I am concerned, I know how important it can be to be able to play with soil and seeds and flowers.

jilli, I can't get over the crocodiles!

1:43 am

hahaha Glant, I am right with you!

1:43 am

tyro

1:43 am

got your email, mrp -- what a selection! I'll be forwarding it around.

1:43 am

darn darn darn off to the PB with me, sorry. missing my Expert!

1:44 am

oh oh sprite

1:44 am

thx, sprite, and what would you like in the sin bin?

thanks jilli!!

1:44 am

putting soem Welsh cakes in the PB for Sprite

1:44 am

a cup of coffee would be nice... and some fruit.

*throws TimTams at sprite as she heads to the PB*

1:44 am

yummy Glant!

1:45 am

*jumps high to catch the TimTams... wow can that mrP throw a mean cookie!*

1:45 am

what is a TimTam mrp?

hehehe !!

flosey, it is heaven on a biscuit!

1:45 am

flosey, we have them here in Country Grocer -- cookies.

1:45 am

mrP says it is the mother of all cookies, flosey

1:46 am

oh, thanks jilli, will look for them

but the ones you have are not the originals :((

1:46 am

well, being a bit of a cookie monster, I must try them

1:46 am

No? What's the difference, mrp? We have several varieties.

1:46 am

how would they differ mrp?

am sending the timtam slam info as well as the timtams sprite

they are not made by the same manufacturer as here

they taste different

1:47 am

lovely mrP, thanks so much

if it is Arnott's TimTams, then they are the original and the best

1:48 am

we don't have tim tams at all :-(

1:49 am

I'll have to check. They might well be -- we get lots of imports from OZ.

in my next shipment glant... remind me and email me... i will send you some if your are allowed to received food products to your country

1:50 am

we are alllowed certain foodstuffs - just no meat, dairy products of fruit - packaged biscuits, sweets, cakes etc are fine

we are allowed nothing!

1:52 am

i know - i sent a piece of art with a dried fern frond on it and Australian Immigration & customs offered to irradiate it fir her for $40 so she could receive it

1:53 am

I visited Australia by ship 3 times in the 1970s, and we were pretty fed up of immigration coming on board and fumigating us before we were allowed to dock :-)

1:53 am

wow that is sick

1:53 am

it made us feel dirty when we were actually quite clean!

yep, planes are self fumigated now... passangers from overseas don't even know it!

it goes through the aircon system now

1:55 am

don't they import any stuff either, mrP?

1:55 am

halfway

1:55 am

yet people still seem to catch bugs on planes

they do sprite... lot's of stuff, but it has to go through strict quarantine

1:55 am

63 left here but slowing down

1:55 am

well, the tantrum time approaches rapidly and i need to go to work so i will bid you all farewell until this evening when i come back for the last 90

and if you want to bring your dog here... you have to wait 6 months to get it

1:56 am

oh, sprite, I thought you'd have finished by now, lol!

1:56 am

*poof*

see ya glant! good luck with witching hour

1:56 am

and there is no way to send a package that first goes through same quarantine? I am frustrated I cannot send you dutch goodies.

1:56 am

bye Glant, have a good one

i would have to pay quite a sum to have it irridated sprite

1:57 am

bye glant -- have a good day

it just isn't worth it hun

1:57 am

ridiculous. And what does irridating do to food stuff? Make it uneatable? inedible?

1:57 am

lol jilli, silly!

I suppose it ensures there is nothing contaminant in it?

1:58 am

yes of course, but would it spoil the contents?

1:58 am

no, sprite

no, don't think so

1:59 am

ok... then there is still hope :D

2:00 am

lots of foods are irratiated to preserve them. People confuse the term with radiation -- a totally different thing.

still can't believe this helicopter crash!! they have abandoned the recovery effort due to the weather... it nearly smashed into the netball courts

so so sad for the families of the two men

2:02 am

helicopter crash? Hadn't heard about it...

2:03 am

35 to go but brain has turned off, better get to bed, goodnight all

bad bad crash... only km's from us

2:07 am

wow! And also see people are going over waterfalls and dying in national parks... what are they thinking??

2:09 am

yeah people are insane

we have severe weather warnings still to come... on top of the severe weather warnings we already have... not driving anywhere!

2:11 am

hi cosdem

2:12 am

2:14 am

2:23 am

Enjoy your day, sprite.

morning all. how many words today please

141, but most of them start with vowels *shudder8

thanks

I've typed in "android" three times because I can't believe it's not there. But then I found myself wondering . . . is it a word? Is it too new?

Joke time! TEACHER: Glenn, how do you spell 'crocodile?' GLENN: K-R-O-K-O-D-I-A-L' TEACHER: No, that's wrong GLENN: Maybe it is wrong, but you asked me how I spell it.

2:55 am

2:55 am

3:48 am

Samanthajoy, are you not using the same "D" twice

Fireworks.

5:25 am

good morning all! i Haven't come in here for aaaaages

6:15 am

Hi Varumba, welcome back. Oh Samantha, you were so close. : )

6:21 am

hi all....much nicer here today..its only 21C out

6:29 am

Whee! Haul out the sweaters! : D

6:38 am

having gone through horrible withdrawal symptoms, I'm back.

6:40 am

what a nuisance, more than a week withut an internet connection and now, even though I'm (tenuously) connected, my husband stil isn't and is VERY unhappy. In this bad week : 1. I've lost my typing skills but 2. have been enjoying the Tour de France

6:41 am

how close to where you are is it today? Haven't looked at a map lately ... but it's fairly close isn't it?

6:42 am

so glad you're back, ruby!!

6:42 am

this year, it hasnt been close. However, on \Saturday, the individual contre-la-monte is one hour away. It's stil better on TV

6:42 am

merci beaucoup, une.

6:43 am

Soodle and I talked on the phone and realized that if one of us died, it would be unlikely that anybody would know.,....

6:43 am

montre*

6:43 am

I haven't been able to watch this year ... Does anyone have a chance to beat the Shlecks?

6:44 am

(((((((RUBY))))))))) Missed you.

6:45 am

I am still rooting for Cadel Evans as I think Andy Shelck, although a terific rider, lacks character and charm.. Thank you Molly, I missed you, too

6:46 am

... Must cheer for Team Garmin and RyderHesjedal and Thor Hushovd ... as close to a Canadian team as exists anywhere ...

6:46 am

It was good to hear from Soodle and know that you were okay, just having computer problems.

6:47 am

I watch the Tour 4 hrs/ day and if I hadn't had that, without an internet connectrion, I ould have gone crazy (craxier!)

6:47 am

<-- loves Hesjedal!!!

6:48 am

Well, if no computer, boys on bikes with tight shorts on is a nice second choice. : P

6:48 am

and, also, team Garmin - that Hushovd is a lovely, huge monster

6:48 am

too old to look at the shorts

6:50 am

molls...is 21 c feels like 30 C...but feels so much cooler..who'd have thunk 30 c feels cool

6:51 am

... never too old to look ... ... ... must take wife to work ... thanks for the update

6:51 am

is there any big news in the chog? how is uusue\s son (and uusue, of course); and mrp?

6:51 am

it is cold but pretty here

6:51 am

and fruit!!!!

6:53 am

They dropped the charges against Sue's son, pending that he has no contact with the girl for six months, which is no problem. There is lots of relief in Sue's house.

6:54 am

Carlee, it's like they say, we have the hot days so we can appreciate the cooler ones more.

6:54 am

that is happy news, Molly, the last thing Sue needed was problems with her son. And if he can't stay away from that pisonus girl, he has to be aware of the consequentces!

6:54 am

that was poisonous*

6:55 am

Poisonous is a good word Ruby. It is frightening how poisonous some people can be. I suppose that is why they are referred to as "Toxic People".

6:56 am

I never hear that expression before but it is truly apt!

6:56 am

I'm sure you know the type Ruby. Always seeking attention, drawing you into their drama, creating drama when there is none.

6:57 am

but we, as adults, can handle int. But a young fellow, in thrall to his ormonses,is definitely less capable.

6:58 am

heard*

6:58 am

in a week my typing has deteriorated, too

6:58 am

sorry

7:06 am

Well, to put a positive spin on it, it's a good thing he got this lesson young in life. Perhaps it will help him make better choices in the future.

7:06 am

let us hope!!!!

7:10 am

sista time and the, back on the pedals!

7:10 am

sista time and the, back on the pedals!

7:10 am

see you later

7:47 am

how is "maxed" not a word? she maxed out her credit card...

7:47 am

lotta M propers... marx, manx, mary, marne, mardi, mandie...

7:48 am

i agree re maxed -- pretty nuts

7:48 am

thought of you when I saw Edouard M**** :-)

7:49 am

ah yes!

7:49 am

bye une

Good morning babblers!

8:15 am

Hey Red, how are you today?

8:24 am

That missing "M" is probably the alternate spelling of what you do with your money, when you budget. It's some horsey word.

8:28 am

great clue molly

8:29 am

8:38 am

hi all. clue for the 8?

8:38 am

Money is legal te6...past tense that.

Or, te6 is the night.

8:38 am

... start with the te4/5 that means too sort of follow along a path ... then make the 6 and the 8

Name that Thesaurus.

Morning friends

8:52 am

hi mr bob

8:59 am

good morning! it is raining!!!!!!!

9:00 am

... may we have some please?

9:01 am

I'll send it right over :-)

9:01 am

... thanks ... maybe it'll get here by tomorrow

9:02 am

except for a brief but very nasty windstorm last week this is the first rain we've had in a long time

9:03 am

... it did nothing but rain here for April and the first half of May ... ... hasn't rained since ...

9:04 am

crazy weather :-(

9:05 am

we had a lot of rain earlier as well, you can see in the corn fields where the farmers couldn't plant because they were underwater

Clue for an7 please?

9:06 am

... is there a water situation developing there? ... I drove from here to Las Vegas in '06 and it seemed that if it wasn't for the irrigation there'd be no crops growing through Iowa and Nebraska at all

9:07 am

... an + a hesitation + robot ending

Tx dose

9:10 am

I think we are ok so far, due to the earlier rains we are just about even for the year. We did have horrible drought a few years ago, and most of the fields here are not irrigated (not cost effective as we don't get drought that often, although that may be changing)

9:11 am

and thx for the an7 - think I will put it in the physics babblets

9:12 am

... I kept seeing these massive lines of sprinklers putting out tons of water ... I was surprised that there was any left in the Missouri ... ... coming back it seemed that the Arkansas was getting smaller as I came downstream

9:16 am

The Rio Grande disappears before it gets to Albuquerque due to irrigation!

9:16 am

Good morning, dahlinks!

9:16 am

... I noticed that too

9:16 am

but the only sprinklers right around here are on the turf farms

9:16 am

hi, Judi1

9:17 am

Smurf farms?

9:17 am

Judi! (don't like the shift key on this new rubber keyboard)

9:17 am

turf farms, where they grow grass for sod (more green than blue :-)

9:17 am

... in Kentucky ... for the blueness

9:18 am

Am horrified to know that Smurfs are back on the scene. A new movie. Errrgh.

9:18 am

don't tell me - I had to sit through a preview of it! Awful!!

9:19 am

If you ever watch "Robot Chicken", they always rank on the Smurfs - blow them up, etc. It's awesome.

9:20 am

... they may be subversive ... ... but better them than Family Guy ... ...

9:21 am

the thing that bothers me about the smurfs (among other things) is smurfette - the female one - like being female is just another odd variation of the norm

9:22 am

... true ... but then the most intelligent male on television is the dog, Brian

9:22 am

... perhaps the only intelligent male on television

9:22 am

Believe me, I've never thought so deeply about smurf culture. They are just squeeky voiced, annoying, intellectually insulting little characters.

9:23 am

<---Bangs head against wall to get Smurf theme out of it.

9:24 am

Everything from my older sons childhood is coming back. Transformers, Smurfs. What's next? He-Man?

9:25 am

back in the 80s the daughter of the guy I lived with watched them incessantly. Blerg.

9:25 am

Probably. Along with the Smurfs trailer, we also saw a trailer for Thunder Cats. Took great effort not to run screaming from the theater.

9:25 am

and didn't he-man already come back? (I don't actually pay that much attention to new movies)

9:27 am

If it did, I missed it. I will say that the He-Man live action movie was one of the best cartoon to film transfers I've seen. But how could they go wrong with Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella.

9:28 am

maybe I am confusing he-man with the X-men (told you I don't pay much attention!)

9:31 am

Must have been He-Man. Dolph & Frank weren't in the X-Men movies.

9:31 am

Need a clue for the de6/27, please.

9:31 am

Oh yeah, it's hot. One of UDC's campuses is closed today because of excessive heat. Apparently their chiller is "antiquated".

9:32 am

... de6/27 ... I think it's a middle eastern coin ... ... or de +na4

9:34 am

Morning all - I saw He-man on Toon one day when flipping channels.

9:34 am

Really bad cartoon!

9:34 am

This was this winter

9:36 am

It may seem like a bad cartoon to adults. But when my older two were younger, it was all the rage with the boys. They all had the action figures and played with them constantly.

9:37 am

Got it, dose. Ty.

9:37 am

I imagine some people think "Hercules" was a bad cartoon as well. I thought it was pretty cool when I was a kid.

9:37 am

Well I don't mean the story line, that was generic. But the pics were amateurish

9:38 am

Robot Chicken also always goofs on He-Man for its (ahem) homo-erotic tendancies.

9:38 am

whaaaaaa?

9:39 am

You have to watch Robot Chicken. It's hilarious.

9:39 am

When they started going PC on cartoons they took out all the fun

9:39 am

What? Is there speculation that He-Man and Man-At-Arms were more than co-defenders of justice? : P

9:40 am

I bow out -

9:41 am

and never mind Batman and Robin...

9:41 am

I want the Justice League back!

9:42 am

Batman has gotten too dark for me

9:42 am

Yes, Hoot! Old school Superman and Aquaman!

9:43 am

Actually, Batman was always dark in the comic books. It's the cartoons and the 60's TV show that made him "lighter".

9:43 am

Yeah!

9:43 am

No - never as dark as now

9:43 am

lol, Molly. I think "campy" would be more accurate.

9:44 am

Wonder Woman was to The Justice League what Smurfette was to the Smurfs.

9:44 am

Ans Spiderman had some angst in the comics but made it the be-all in the movies. Very stupid and unpleasant

9:45 am

the TV show was rediculous

9:46 am

Wonder Woman - another really bad TV show!

9:46 am

Well Wonder Woman can fight, and she was there, so she could not be left out

9:46 am

I didn't like the Spiderman movies. I never bought Toby Maguire as Peter Parker.

9:46 am

Have ANY of the tv shows been good?

9:47 am

Linda Carter lives around here and she has a reputation as a first class bitch.

9:47 am

I think he was good at it, but script doed him in!

9:48 am

Well look into her eyes. I think that's why they picked her.

9:48 am

steely eyes

9:50 am

stats for the central e?

9:50 am

For some reason, I liked The Incredible Hulk TV show. Maybe because of Bill Bixby.

9:50 am

I could see why Linda Carter would be bitchy. She was a one-hit wonder woman.

9:50 am

ed 4/5

9:51 am

How are you feeling today Sue?

9:51 am

*thinks Molly liked the Hulk just to see guys bussting out of their pants*

9:51 am

Who is being a putz now? : P

9:51 am

The Hulk was done right. Ienjoyed it too.

9:52 am

:D

9:52 am

MOLLY....ed4.... the rim

9:52 am

still pretty crappy, molly, although I am convincing myself that I will be well enough to give my talk tonight (should be, it's only 1/2 hour)

9:54 am

eger

9:54 am

and duh, thx for the middle e, my brain is obviously still not working well - that gives me nbs and nbt. maybe i will go back to bed for a while (and I had the rim but it comes from the e on the right)

9:54 am

sorry - any coffe in there?

9:54 am

Thanks Maryte, but I wasn't asking, I was giving stats for Sue.

9:55 am

And I just used the wrong box

9:55 am

I really liked the Hulk TV show. Had a major crush on Bill Bixby.

9:55 am

Mr. Eddie's Father.

9:56 am

wasn't he in My Favorite Martian too?

9:56 am

Yep, Ru. That's where he got his start.

9:56 am

The Courtship of Eddie's Father.

9:56 am

I loved that show as a kid

9:56 am

People let me tell you 'bout my best friend...

one left a clue please for the re 6/21?

9:57 am

I used to run around with antennas on my head as a kid... little did I know I'd need them here

10:00 am

I didn't do cassoulet until my teens

10:00 am

Well, that was in the days before cell phones. Antennae were very common.

10:00 am

I cooked more simply in those days molly...lol

10:00 am

10:03 am

wow.. I am really stuck

10:04 am

hi all, went to the local Borders early this am expecting to get brgains. I missread the e-mail. It said UP TO 40% off. Only bought one book at 10% off. bought a magazine and a greeting card that were 40% off tho.

10:05 am

Hi, Peri. I'm so bummed that Borders stores will be closing.

10:05 am

I would have expected better bargains than that Peri.

10:05 am

The prices will drop the closer they get to shutting thte doors. *sigh*

10:06 am

I know the prices will go down but less selection. it is a trade off. some people were still buying lots of books.

10:07 am

will go again if the prices are more than 20% off and see what they have left. the cafe was closed and people were complaiing about that. can

10:07 am

can't please everyone

10:07 am

Great article by Mitch Albom on the closing of Borders... http://tinyurl.com/3vc7z99

10:08 am

Ru - I would be interested in that Sloppy Joe recipe please

10:09 am

FIREBOIDS!

10:10 am

BF got the idea that they were just going to move stuff fron store to store, close the empty store and so on. No real bargain til final cloing and if they sell to a liqidator - no bargains period!

10:10 am

I dont think so but he looked the car over and said my air conditioner only works on High and a resistor for $60 would fix that so I told him to go ahead.

uusue, I was asking about you, how are you feeling?

11:04 am

better, annie, thanks! still not 100% but should be fine for tonight

11:05 am

You will. May I ask if you are taking Cipro?

11:05 am

I am.

11:06 am

Yes, that works for me too. You will definitely feel better tonite. If there is a next time, (I hope never) ask the doctor for Pyridium..that will ease the pain while the antibiotic kicks in.

11:06 am

Doc's office just called; they cultured the bacteria and the cipro should do it.

11:07 am

good!

11:07 am

they offered me the pyridium but i declined - it wasn't that bad and I like to know the antibiotic is working

11:08 am

I am glad you feel better.

1st word not accepted today: mnx is a tailless cat

Apparently, Enable considers manx a proper noun.

11:49 am

Why breeds of dogs are acceptable (terrier) and breeds of cats are not, I have no idea. Enable is schizo.

12:02 pm

The internet is melting.

12:03 pm

it's actually not bad here yet, this morning's storms cooled things off

12:04 pm

We are at 97F, feels like 113F.

12:06 pm

yeah, that was how we were all week, now it is 72 (nyaah)

12:06 pm

it is 99 at my dad's, though

12:07 pm

Amazing fact I read: Heat is the number one weather related killer. I think people underestimate what it can do to your body, and how quickly.

12:08 pm

only 141 words today?

12:08 pm

I agree. We had a heat wave in Chicago a few years ago that killed a lot of people (I don't remember how many but it was hundreds or thousands)

12:08 pm

we have been heat waving the last week

12:09 pm

I think that heat deaths are less spectacular than other kinds of weather-related deaths so they don't make the news unless there really are a lot of them

12:10 pm

That's probably it Sue. It's amazing that it ranks above hurricanes, tornadoes and the cold though. I never would have guessed that.

12:14 pm

According to Wikipedia - The 1995 Chicago heat wave was a heat wave which led to approximately 750 heat-related deaths in Chicago over a period of five days.[1] Eric Klinenberg, author of the 2002 book Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago, has noted that in the United States, the loss of human life in hot spells in summer exceeds that caused by all other weather events combined, including lightning, rain, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes.[2][3] The heat wave heavily impacted the wider Midwestern region, with additional deaths in both St. Louis, Missouri[4] and Milwaukee, Wisconsin,[5] as well.

12:14 pm

well, I have about maxed out on the number of hot days I am willing to put up with - and I can type this here because Enable doesn't think that maxed is a word :-P

12:15 pm

thanks for looking that up, wv!

12:16 pm

Chicago has changed its policies as a result - they have a lot more cooling centers now, people are encouraged to look out for their neighbors, and the electric company can't cut off service during heat waves even if you have been delinquent

12:17 pm

just back from a trip out west. Had to wear my fleece or sweat shirt each day. They had record snowfalls so there was still much snow around - 4th of july two ski areas reopened for the weekend. Saw people packing in skis to other areas Then came across the midwesdt in the heat and certainly wished to go back

12:17 pm

We had a bit of a heatwave a few weeks ago. Two policedogs died as a result of being locked in a van. The guy that 'forgot' about them was chief dogtrainer for the Metropolitan Police. It was the second time he was involved in a dog death. They picked him up and he jumped from a moving car and was found later having tried to commit suicide.

12:18 pm

I'll bet, wv!

12:29 pm

deeha, that is awful! He certainly should have known better.

12:35 pm

ge

12:39 pm

I have gotten into huge arguments with people on message boards about people who "forget" animals and children in cars. I don't for one minute believe this is a case of forgetting.

12:41 pm

oh man.

12:41 pm

people who "forget" are bad enough, but then there are those who "run into a store to pick up a couple of things" -- hard to figure . . .

12:42 pm

no, there legitimately are parents who have forgotten and their kids have died and they are SO devastated. it usually happens if there is a change in routine, where the normal day care drop off is happening differently or something, and people are so much on auto-pilot...

12:42 pm

I used to work with someone who ran into the store, leaving his sleeping infant daughter in the car. The claim was that the baby was colicky and waking her would start her crying. He got arrested for it.

12:43 pm

i think awareness has been raised big time -- people are more observant and are reporting these incidents more often

12:43 pm

Hursh, THAT is what I respectfully disagree about. There is something much more going on than "forget" when someone claims "auto pilot" and leaves a child in a car.

12:46 pm

any parent who lives a child in the car is guilty of negligence no matter what the reason!

12:51 pm

i don't even care if it is a new routine or a new baby, parents should put something in the front seat to remind them they are in the car!

even Maine is hotter than hell!

12:57 pm

Greetings from a cold, wet, miserable Ireland!

Ah! Thank you!

They used to put them in coal mines to test for lethal gas. It's also a Sting song.

Oh wait, that was The Police.

4:34 pm

Oh Sea, that's not good for older folks.

4:34 pm

swimming a mile is nuts enough

4:34 pm

4:34 pm

4:37 pm

4:38 pm

Hi sue

4:38 pm

4:38 pm

<==can rarely solve own problems

4:38 pm

toyed

4:38 pm

Hi Soodle, Hi Sue, Hi JMC and Ruby.

4:38 pm

Hey Sea and everybody else! I was so glad to see Ruby I forgot to say hi to everyone else!

4:39 pm

I guess I had better go to bed. Ruby is up to her old habits.... :(

4:39 pm

:D

4:39 pm

Sea, no rain. It looked like it might for a while, but so far, nothing.

4:39 pm

<---loves soddle

4:39 pm

the program is: I give a reasonably short talk about telescopes and how they work (with lots of snappy visuals); they get to assemble their own telescope from a kit; they go up to the observatory to use the "big" telescope (we have a 14" reflector)

4:39 pm

same here

4:39 pm

Soddle!!!!! Rubes.... go to bed!

4:39 pm

but my talk is at 7 pm and it won't be dark until 9

4:39 pm

we have rain, roses, tomatoes and figs and almosdt mirabelle plums

4:40 pm

maybe a should turn on the light

4:40 pm

and I only have to stay for my part of it, which is good because I am still feeling a bit under the weather, although better than yesterday

4:41 pm

Sue, so glad to see it was an 'alls well that ends well' scenario with your son and his ex.

4:41 pm

anyway, hi and bye, all, now I need to see how my talk looks on the big screen :-)

4:42 pm

maybe tomorrow somebody could fill me in. I've missed lots of news, I'm sure....

4:42 pm

ah yes, soodle; it isn't quite over yet - for one thing, we don't have the offer from the state's attorney in writing - but things are looking about as good as possible at this point

4:42 pm

ruby, if I see you tomorrow I will give you all the details :-)

4:42 pm

now I really am off, at least for half an hour or so...

4:42 pm

{{sue}}

4:43 pm

bye uu

4:43 pm

Bye Sue. Take care ((()))

4:43 pm

Hey JMC - How you doing?

4:43 pm

hey soodle how are you

4:44 pm

you and ruby are both up and running!

4:44 pm

good night everybody

4:44 pm

(((((((Rubes))))) I am delighted you are back in Babble-Land! Good night. X

4:45 pm

goodnight ruby

4:45 pm

I still can't get my poor husband wirelessly connected, though, maybe tomorrow

4:45 pm

Yup, JMC, all good here. And you?

4:46 pm

my computer died and then my laptop so i went out and bought a new computer so of course my computer came back to life except the shift key

4:46 pm

but it is on the way out so i am glad i bought the new one before it's final demise

4:47 pm

did you buy a desktop or laptop jmc? I need a new one for work and am thinking I will just get a laptop

4:47 pm

a laptop--that is what i have gotten for my law office for the last several years

4:47 pm

howdy everyone:)

4:48 pm

Bloomin' typical! But best of luck with your new 'puter. My son turns 21 in August, and I am desperately trying to figure out a way to afford to buy him a laptop... If I don't pay the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker, I just may do it.......

4:48 pm

ahhh, think I will do that

4:48 pm

then if i ne** it on the road it is easier than copying files etc.

4:48 pm

Hey crossy

4:48 pm

good thing they are so much cheaper these days

4:48 pm

hi crossy

4:49 pm

((Crossy)). Hi! :-)

4:49 pm

Yes they are

4:50 pm

i got a fairly fancy laptop and it was $800

4:50 pm

When I think about buying them for $3500 for a stripped down model....

4:50 pm

what brand did you get

4:51 pm

i got dell in part because the founder of dell was a conscientious objector during vietnam

4:51 pm

but mainly because they are good computers

4:52 pm

I have been looking at prices, and I can get a very very basic netbook for €200. But my young lad is not a computer geek, and would only be using a computer for internet use.

4:52 pm

The one I use here at home is a Dell and am thinking Dell for the office as well...been through HP's, Acers...

4:54 pm

bought daughter a Dell for graduation to take to college 7 years ago and it was a good one

4:54 pm

ah well then a netbook is the way to go. I used mine in Kenya and was very happy.

4:54 pm

hello all -- I just got this eamil and thought you might all enjoy the link: Ever wonder what the cockpit of the Shuttles looks like? You might find this overwhelming, but it's just a few gauges, and you get to sit down, too! This is definitely a classic to save and remember how it was ten years from now. If we are still here... Follow the link below and click on the far right icon to go full screen and sit back and ponder the end of an era You can use your mouse to move around the cockpit as well as just watch it rotate. Up and down will show you the entire upper flight deck. Hint: Drag your cursor for horizontal or vertical scanning and use your scroll wheel to zoom in or out. Enjoy. Bang it here http://360vr.com/2011/06/22-discovery- flight-deck-opf_6236/index.html

4:54 pm

hi jilli

4:55 pm

I guess I should tinyurl that link -- just a minute...

4:55 pm

I have seen it in person jilli...very interesting

4:55 pm

hey everyone, back from running errands

4:56 pm

here you are:

4:57 pm

hi jen

4:57 pm

are you suppose to be out running errands already?

4:57 pm

Oh Jilli, my proposed €200 netbook for my son's birthday pales into insignificance as I look at that link!!

4:57 pm

Hi Jen

4:58 pm

trying again: http://tinyurl.com/3ggyx6n

4:58 pm

i am sure you son will like it better!

4:58 pm

That's pretty cool Jilli, thanks for sharing it. Soodle, I have had good luck with Dell products, but our laptops are both Toshiba. No complaints about them either.

4:58 pm

:-)

4:58 pm

Which do you prefer Molly?

4:59 pm

Oh thats good to hear, Molls, cos the netbook I'm looking at is a Toshiba!

4:59 pm

I like my HP laptop ok, except for the Canadian bilingual keyboard, which is a bit confusing.

4:59 pm

oh -- you're looking at netbooks.

4:59 pm

one of the netbooks i have is a toshiba and i like it a lot

5:00 pm

I was a bit apprehensive because it was so cheap.. erm...inexpensive!

5:00 pm

Actually Sea, I don't prefer one over the other. Both brands have stood the test of time.

5:01 pm

Thanks Molly

5:01 pm

I'm pretty hooked on having a screen horizontal in front of me, so netbooks hold no appeal for me.

5:01 pm

As I was searching for a netbook for his 21st birthday, I couldn't help remembering my own 21st. I got a digital watch from my parents.......My! How technology has moved on....

5:02 pm

probably cost about the same too

5:02 pm

I understand, it's like me and reading a book, don't think I could do an e reader

5:02 pm

horizonal??

5:03 pm

The 2-part, 45 degree angle of a laptop as opposed to it being flat in my lap.

5:03 pm

Sea, I'm with you there! The feel, smell and experience of a book would be hard to replace.

5:03 pm

especially at the beach lol

5:03 pm

Molly -- are you thinking of a tablet (iPad)?

5:03 pm

I have a Kindle, but don't use it much. I like real books a lot better.

5:04 pm

Probably Jilli. Netbooks are the teeny, tiny laptops?

5:04 pm

Except when you come out of the sea/pool, and your dripping wet, and drip all over the book, and the book disintegrates in front of your eyes!

5:05 pm

Well, I imagine it's not very cool to drip all over an e-reader either. Snap, crackle, pop.

5:05 pm

hmf -- "android" is ok in morewords but not here.

5:06 pm

Yes, Molly, netbooks are the mini-laptops.

5:06 pm

LOL Moll. True enough!

5:07 pm

So, I understand lots of you guys over the pond are suffering from a heatwave?

5:23 pm

It has yids, but not wops, go figure

5:24 pm

actually it does have wops, sad to say...

5:25 pm

I think there's some perjorative ethnic word it doesn't have

5:26 pm

if a bra is known in slang terms as "over the shoulder boulder holders" would that make mens briefs "under the butt nut huts?"..sorry to those with delicate sensetivites and to any minors who may be lurking but i had to lol

5:56 pm

hello all, tech question. I have three windows open, babble, morewords and lickety list from the bottom of the page but I cannot get them together at one time. they all revert to just the babble screen, any help?

6:01 pm

Not tech but have you tried re- sizing each one manually (usually click on the box right hand upper corner to minimise - then get your size holding down on the bottom left hand corner - a triangle of dots) hope that makes sense!

6:01 pm

I have them miminized at the bottom

6:02 pm

You need to get each screen up individually then get the size you want manually

6:02 pm

not sure what you mean by the triange of dots tho

6:04 pm

Try grabbing the bottom left corner with your mouse when the screen is on small

6:04 pm

shoot! bottom RIGHT hand corner - sorry

6:05 pm

size is not the issue, I can get more words and lickety to the right size. but when I click on IE icon to get babble back just babble shows up and not the others

6:05 pm

I appreciate your help tho, lyn

6:06 pm

Can't you resize Babble to be narrower?

6:06 pm

what I am doing at the moment is pulling up lickety and looking at one part of a group of words ie. all the di words and then try to find them and then go to the next group, very tedioius. I have requested babble expert but have not received it yet

6:07 pm

the size is not the problem.

6:07 pm

New link to mended Babble Expert: http://r46.me/BabbleExpert2011 0410.zip

Really quite well Lynxxx, it would be extremely well, except I keep like a fool trying to run on my leg and it then hurts. duh.

Hi Peri! It is about 102-108 here, but thats pretty typical for us, but for you northerners, especially those without central air. wow.

6:13 pm

patience is a virtue Red

6:13 pm

Red, didn't you say that you weren't supposed to run until September? Did I miss part of the story?

6:13 pm

the a/c is on high. but there are folks without a/c around

6:14 pm

Sorry about that Peri - maybe Crossy will be able to help you - seems quite switched on with PCs

7:07 pm

7:07 pm

again

7:07 pm

this is the recipe I made and it came out great.. if you hve a meat grinder it helps.. or if a friend does that you can borrow it saves a lot of time.

7:08 pm

Ooo la la, c'est chic recipe.

7:08 pm

daughter has ru, she is making her own sausages, and she will be so happy to get this recipe

7:08 pm

:P molly

7:08 pm

mmm sausages....

7:09 pm

I was disappointed that there was no Coke in it though. : P

7:09 pm

I would have a nice Pinot with this too Flosey.. brioche toasts and Saint Andre cheese.. (don't get your chlorestorol checked any time near eating these though

7:09 pm

What? No cheese whiz? : P

7:10 pm

7:10 pm

or if you send some to Molly you can sub the Pinot for Coke

7:10 pm

7:12 pm

that's good flosey..these are artery blockers for sure...lol

7:12 pm

ah, well, I'd probably substitute a red wine

7:13 pm

the favorite ruru seems to be the white jumpsuit

7:23 pm

I couldn't eat squirrels.. they are too cute

7:23 pm

I can't even think of eating rabbit

7:23 pm

they put all kinds of crustaesians,corn,sausage,veggies....m mmmm

7:24 pm

Pork rinds are low carb. I run them through the food processor to make a "flour" then use it as a coating

7:24 pm

hungry enough, you'd eat squirrel, or rabbit ...

7:24 pm

I suppose welki, but would really have to be starving

7:24 pm

lol! pork rind flour!!! i love it!! can you make a load of pig bread with it?

7:24 pm

7:25 pm

No mare fat than potato chips.

7:25 pm

7:26 pm

ru, in a bag, there are good ones and not so good ones, like potato chips. the ones that are a little overdone are the best

7:26 pm

I can imagine! I'm feeling a bit squeamish

7:26 pm

(((crossy!))) :)

7:29 pm

I have had bear also, they tried to tell me it was like beef - I did not think so, was quite dry

7:29 pm

<-- likes catfish fried in cornmeal with a home made blackberry/cayenne ketchup

7:29 pm

Love fried okra

7:29 pm

and snake,groundhog,gopher,crawfish,bison, moose,deer,porcupine..etc

7:29 pm

hi, mrp

7:29 pm

lol, welki

7:30 pm

Don't like black-eyed peas either and had to eat them every New Years. Yumm ... but do so love catfish fried in cornmeal.

7:30 pm

oh, your ketchup sounds interesting, welki

7:30 pm

ohhh, i used to use those icons of yours, flosey, in some stained glass work

7:30 pm

and always remember people,if needed,porcupine can be eaten raw

raw porcupine with ketchup??

7:30 pm

i can try to find the recipe, flosey, but it may take a day or two. it's been years since i prepared it

7:31 pm

they are so beautiful, aren't they welki

7:31 pm

for you, mrp, with vegemite

7:31 pm

well,the ketchup is an option

7:31 pm

welki, I will pass on an email to you if you like... what is sold in wal-mart in china

flosey, you wanna make a shirtload of money?? package them, iratiate them and export them here!

7:34 pm

wow, I sure could mrp, we freeze them on trays then vacuseal them, make jam, etc, even a type of port - or whatever you'd call it.

darn, now I feel like raw meat with vegemite on it!

7:36 pm

7:38 pm

hi all

7:38 pm

howdy jmc

7:38 pm

am on the keyboard without a shift key again

hi jmc :))

you have no shift keys at all??

7:40 pm

use the on screen windows keyboard if you need a shift key in the interm

7:40 pm

if we are talking about worst food ever it would have to be the chicken i ate in kenya

7:40 pm

well they are there mr. p they just don't shift

kenyan chicken??

7:40 pm

too hard crossy

pointless shifters

7:40 pm

my teeth bounced off the meat it was so old and tough

7:41 pm

worst food ever is chilled monkey brains in greece

7:41 pm

they were trying to be nice to the white folks

7:41 pm

i think it is in greece

well, that is just vomitous!

7:41 pm

let me check

7:41 pm

but i will say head cheese came a close second

7:41 pm

but okra if it is pickled or fried is heaven

7:42 pm

i am sorry those of greek decent..it is india that serves up chilled monkey brains'

7:42 pm

and i have only missed one year in my life without black-eyed peas on new years--i was in california and could not find them for love nor money

7:43 pm

that is more logical cross since there are monkeys in india

7:43 pm

and indonesia

7:43 pm

nasty little brutes like rats

7:44 pm

i now travel with dried black-eyed peas if i am have any chance of being away from home on new years

worst thing I ate (in my minds eye anyway) was duck tongue... I was eating it to be polite and it was ok, but geez! a plate full of those looks ick!

7:44 pm

wow you have to kill a lot of ducks to get a plate of them

they do in hongkong jmc

7:45 pm

that figures what with peking duck and such they probably have a lot of tongues let over

7:46 pm

ok,lets talk good food now..

7:46 pm

fried okra hahaha

7:46 pm

slice tomatoes with basil and olive oil

crossy, have been looking for your email addy... will just use message in FB?

8:01 pm

not me personally i always drink it without sugar but i know enough to ask if the tea is sweet when i am in the south

8:01 pm

Well, time to see how the dinner cooked. We're having left overs. Well, really a freezer dish that I made two of and now it's time to use the second batch. In any case, eat well and enjoy for evenings. (Or morning as the sunshines.)

8:01 pm

sweet tea is everywhere

8:01 pm

*Joins Lil for sweet tea and cornbread with honey*

Feeling better Sue?

8:16 pm

I am, molly, thx!

8:24 pm

re-hi (is flosey still here? ohhhh, flosey, i found the recipe!)

8:25 pm

Glad to hear it Sue. Sometimes, it feels like forever waiting for those antibiotics to kick in.

8:25 pm

What recipe Welki?

8:25 pm

they seem to be working well,molly, thank goodness!

8:25 pm

for blackberry ketchup (or catsup) - to serve with catfish fried in cornmeal

8:26 pm

all my cookbooks are in the basement, but i found it pretty fast

8:26 pm

I love fried catfish. Not sure I would go for the sweet and sour ketchup though. I know plenty of people who would like that, however.

8:27 pm

an7?

8:28 pm

an + him not h** + robot ending

8:28 pm

ty molly

8:30 pm

fireworks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8:30 pm

8:31 pm

hi everyone

8:32 pm

hi, lu!

8:32 pm

hi lu

8:32 pm

babbling to avoid school work

8:33 pm

whoooohooooo UU!!!

8:33 pm

hi everyone!

8:34 pm

hi lb

8:35 pm

hi doxy!

8:35 pm

molly, who said sweet and sour? only a little bit of vinegar in the recipe, it's deelish

8:36 pm

hi, lbd and doxy and welki!

8:36 pm

I think the fried catfish sounds great!

8:36 pm

hi UU, hi Welki, hi Moly

8:38 pm

Hey LBD. Welki, I would probably try the ketchup. Who knows, I might just like it. : D

8:40 pm

I think the ketchup sounds good. If it is anything like huckleberry vinagrette it would be great

8:41 pm

it's now in my profile .. if anyone sees Flosey, please let her know

8:42 pm

molly, leave the vinegar out if you don't like it - just use the product a little quicker

8:43 pm

and psssst ... in a hurry, just add 1/2 tsp. cayenne to a jar of blackberry preserves, heat it up and *voila* cheater's ketchup!

8:43 pm

I read that as 1/2 cup of cayenne and almost fainted. : D

8:44 pm

but the real recipe doesn't take long, so unless you'r ready in a hurry or don't have the ingredients, no reason to shortcut

8:44 pm

hot stuff!

8:45 pm

ready = really (sheesh)

8:45 pm

and for the catfishaphobic, it would probably be great on any solid fish like cod or haddock

8:48 pm

sounds really good welki

8:49 pm

my take on new recipes is, what's the worst that could happen? *lol*

8:53 pm

i guess the worst that could happen is that i kill the chog

8:54 pm

lol

8:55 pm

You didn't kill the chog Welki.

8:58 pm

nope, checking out the recipe, sounds really good!

8:59 pm

brb

9:00 pm

a little tiny bit on top of a cracker with a white crumbly cheese would be nice

9:00 pm

mmmmm, sounds good

9:00 pm

you could substitute distilled vinegar, i presume

9:01 pm

sure .. just not anything stronger than cider vinegar

9:02 pm

b

9:03 pm

I wonder if it would work with elderberries? I have a gazillion elderberries.

9:03 pm

this recipe looks awesome.....can you seriously substitute it for catchup? Say for fries too?? Love the cracker idea...!!!!

9:04 pm

sue, I would bet you could use any kind of berry - raspberry, black raspberry, etc

9:04 pm

maryte, it would be good on some meats, too - maybe lamb or pork chops

9:05 pm

but i don't think i'd use it on fries or a burger .. i am a purist in that regard *lol*

9:05 pm

mmmm - I'll have to try it when the elderberries ripen

9:05 pm

I would think pork chops or roast would be good

9:06 pm

Hi all, especially doxy. I haven't seen you in ages! How are you?

9:06 pm

try halving the recipe for the elderberries, so you don't waste much if it doesn't turn out well

9:06 pm

hi jacula, doing pretty good

9:06 pm

hi, jac!

9:06 pm

Elderberries aren't in season here in UK until about September.

9:07 pm

oooooooooo........lamb!!! I am going to make this....please leave it up for a while?? with cheeses.......

9:07 pm

it will probably be close to that when mine get ripe, they are just starting to form

9:07 pm

leave it up? hahahahaha ... it'll be ages before i remember to take it out of the profile!

9:08 pm

Mary - lamb, one of my favourite meats, is a bit of a sore point with me here in UK at present. The price is very high and likely to stay that way, so my butcher tells me.:-(

9:08 pm

hi shoo

9:08 pm

btw, this is one of my most awesome cookbooks. in another life, i collected them and spent a LOT of time cooking

9:09 pm

Fireworks

9:10 pm

9:10 pm

I'm really hungry right now. Everything sounds good

9:10 pm

If you've got enough elder trees around, don't forget to take the flowers to make elderflower cordial.

9:10 pm

night, welki!

9:10 pm

howdy

9:10 pm

Goodnight, Welki.

9:10 pm

Night Weiki!!

9:11 pm

too late, the flowers are done, I'll have to look up a recipe for next year, though - I have elderberries sprouting like weeds all over my yard (the birds must like them)

9:11 pm

9:16 pm

hi jen

9:16 pm

poof

9:16 pm

hey lbd not talking to me???

9:16 pm

How are you, lbd? Your roses look in fine fettle!

9:17 pm

hi shoo, i said hello earlier, but you must have been in the grid

9:17 pm

hi ibd

9:17 pm

those are last year's roses, jac. this years are just barely in bud.

9:17 pm

ahh

9:18 pm

wanna skype, shoo?

9:18 pm

Can't see any sign of greenfly or blackspot on them, lbd, last year's or not!

9:19 pm

yea

9:19 pm

I know 'wanna Skype' means 'want to chat privately' but it still sound faintly porno to me! LOL

9:19 pm

it's been so wet here, we barely had a spring. so the plants are all late in blooming.

9:20 pm

I can't find my Skype, which is a nuisance, nor remember my user name, which is a double nuisance, since both my kids are abroad at the moment.:-(

9:22 pm

Jac..hahaha...agreed about "wanna Skype".

9:22 pm

Hi Molly. Yes, it does sound kind of 'rude'.:-)

9:23 pm

Lbd, my roses are not doing well this year either.

9:24 pm

My roses rarely do well, since my garden has become a sump in the past decade or so, home to fungi, slugs, snails etc.

9:27 pm

Oh Jac, what a shame.

9:31 pm

Molly - I still grow a few, but other plants do well.

9:33 pm

As for my garden becoming a sump, that's mostly down to people paving their drives over to park more and more cars on, council not cleaning drains, ditches and rivers as often as they should. It resulted in 4 house floods a decade ago, so the council, having being stung financially by that, are a little more vigilant now. Though they do seem to be slipping again in the past couple of years.

9:37 pm

I've noticed that they've gone back to the old penny-pinching way of sending a chap out on a ride-on mower to cut grass verges etc., but not either getting him to rake the cut grass up and take it away, or sending out another chap with him to do that. The result of that is that the cut grass ends up going down the drains when it rains and blocking them eventually, causing floods.

9:38 pm

But the council is only concerned about hw much it can get away without paying for on this year's budget, and not what the getting away with might lead to.

9:47 pm

try coke on your roses molly

9:48 pm

ruru - coke? The drink or the drug??

9:48 pm

the soda

9:48 pm

it works on everything

9:49 pm

Coke, the drink/soda - rots teeth, cleans drains, cleans toilets etc., but I had no idea it was a plant food!

9:49 pm

works? as in making things sticky sweet?

9:50 pm

It's not Jac. Just more white trash comments directed my way. Night everyone.

9:50 pm

no.. it's just a joke.. a long

9:50 pm

a long running gag..

9:50 pm

I"ll stop now molly sorry

9:51 pm

White trash?

9:51 pm

dem's fighting words in my neck of the woods

9:51 pm

10:31 pm

for a while i worried about it then i thought what the heck who cares question mark

10:31 pm

Yep! and the written word does not always convey the spirit of what is being said

10:31 pm

on the other hand i offended br one time and he left in a huff--i was new and panicked but now i figure whatever

10:32 pm
