12:43 am

12:45 am

bad ru

12:46 am

:)

12:46 am

isn't flotsam one of her kids names?

12:47 am

BTW, I don't seem to be able to delete what I wrote about my icon, or add anything to it!

12:47 am

Off to bed, I will try to log on in the morning to get the last 61. But so far, this grid is much gentler than the last couple.

12:47 am

well done jan, sweet sleep

12:47 am

what you wrote is a classic jilli.. maybe Dr g doesn't want it to change

12:48 am

ah my sweet daughter... she just called me before going to bed... she is exhausted... she worked at her church's food bank all day and she has a broken ankle .. in a cast and still did her thing

12:49 am

that's going to be some swelling now

12:49 am

smom, your daughter has my total admiration!

12:50 am

yep.. she said she laid on the floor with it elevated for 3 hours before she could function again

12:50 am

she's one determined kid

12:51 am

mine too. she is 55 and had her grand daughter ( 5 months old ) to care for as her daughter was at work

12:52 am

yes ma, i can bag food with the kid strapped to my chest

12:52 am

12:52 am

12:52 am

12:52 am

good grief, what a gal!

12:52 am

yay me. am doing this on the laptop, not a big deal to those of you who are used to it, but to someone who wished to die computer illiterate, it is a BIG deal.

12:53 am

we will pampeer her tomorrow... they will all be here for a cookout and celebration for number three daughter she graduated last week from college

12:53 am

wtg rose!

12:53 am

12:54 am

Hi people.

Hi flosey.

12:56 am

hello neil

Hi jilli.

12:57 am

for sure Rose, in such situation, glad to have laptop

12:57 am

12:58 am

my sister's visiting, she lost her wireless mouse for her laptop - found it in my freezer in her bag of groceries after she left, lol - think it'll be okay?

12:58 am

no , i'm not tired and bleary -eyed............ not atall

12:58 am

hey neil, jilli, flosey, smom, arb

12:59 am

as long as it didn t get wet rose, probably

12:59 am

how does a wireless mouse get into a bag of groceries anyway? I couldundeerstand a real live mouse doing so, but...?

1:00 am

i do not question it.... have fould many strang and wonderful things in the oddest places

1:00 am

well, we were unloading a bunch of stuff from the truck after a major trip to the laundromat, and then straight to Goodwill with most of it... she was throwing it all in together, I guess

1:00 am

lucky it didn't go to Goodwill with the rest!

1:03 am

I'm too nice, I washed all the stuff before I took it, cost a small fortune - glad I don't have to go to the laundry very often. it was mostly stuff left by people who stored stuff in our back shed.

Hey grannyrose. See the email I sent you?

1:03 am

i wondered about a stick that i found under my pillow a few weeks ago.... until yesterday when sam ( 4 year old great grandson) asked me.... hey g'nan did you like the present i put under your pillow?? i allowed as how i did indeed like it and it in on my bookshelf in a placed of honor

1:04 am

not yet, neil. will look later,ok? or would you like to me look now? ...

I'm wondering if I'll find my ATM card in a wonderful or odd place... if I find it at all. Been searching all day. :( A friend of mine who is usually pretty psychic for some reason tole me where it is though: "in the last place you'll look". :P Great. So helpful!

"told", even

1:04 am

that's really funny neil

Up to you, grannyrose.

But I think you'll really like it.

Hey ru!

Yep. She's a card... too bad she can't tell me where mine is though.

1:06 am

lo

1:06 am

what you should do is get your visa card in your hand and spin and spin and throw it.. and it will land on the Atm

1:06 am

hi mari

Then I'll lose that too. :P Knowing my luck.

1:06 am

or should I say ....

1:06 am

HI

1:08 am

hi all - Jilli compleated the jigsaw of the stag in your drive what a super picture

1:08 am

why do I keep seeing lasagne in the grid

I have several jigsaw puzzles on that site too, mari.

1:09 am

oh jilli?

1:09 am

under the same name neil?

http://tinyurl.com/6pjwfkh

Yes.

It's the only online ID/moniker I use, for everything I do on the web.

1:16 am

wonders if there's a positive Peter out there

1:17 am

Thanks, mari -- it was a surprise to see the guy there, just relaxing!

1:19 am

sorry -- I was changing some light bulbs

1:19 am

Watt?

1:21 am

hello dear friends - can't sleep again, so might as well babble!

1:22 am

maybe we can bore you to sleep, trif?

1:22 am

I very much doubt it! ruru just had me giggling like a doof

1:23 am

Good morning, Trifioso.

1:23 am

morning ga!

1:23 am

Sleep is overrated ..

1:23 am

did torgone make this grid? ti4s everywhere you look...

1:23 am

oh, SNAP son!

1:24 am

Yowza!

1:24 am

lol

1:24 am

Hi torg!

1:25 am

phantom: tarantula

1:26 am

good one!

Positive Peter, ru? No. But there is an Affirmative ____, you know. Seriously. When I came up with this moniker a few years ago, he promptly thought of that one and he uses it for a few of his accounts.

1:28 am

gosh, the oldest car in the known world seems to be having negotiating the hill in town center, and I can hear it from here on this clear night....poor old thing!

Just because we're polar opposites.

1:29 am

andy? arthur? allen?

1:29 am

you would have liked tonight's dinner jilli

Anything you like. :P

1:30 am

what was it, ru (drooling in advance)

1:30 am

the grid just got harder

1:31 am

I made seared scallops with a saffron cream sauce.. forbidden rice and steamed snap peas

1:31 am

mrs ru ate too much again

1:31 am

oh yum! -- but what's forbidden rice?

1:31 am

it's a small grained black asian rice.. nice texture

1:32 am

must look for some!

1:32 am

easy to cook with some peppercorns

1:32 am

that sounds delicious, ruru! and thanks for asking, jili, I didn't know what that was either

1:32 am

mmmm

1:33 am

the sauce took a while

1:33 am

sounds wonderful ru

1:33 am

I made Jambalaya out of a box, but with chorizo sausage, chicken pices, and prawns.

1:34 am

that sounds good too

1:34 am

*pieces

1:35 am

I love cajun food

1:35 am

what went into the sauce you made besides saffron? Recipe, please!

1:36 am

white wine, butter, half and half..teaspoon of lemon, saffron, salt, fish stock, and a touch of white pepper

1:37 am

oh wow! Calori free, I see.

Oh man. You're making me hungry.

1:37 am

hello everyone... after that ruru I am about to lick my lap top to get a taste....

1:37 am

do you make your own fish stock, ruru?

1:37 am

LOL.. yes lo cal...lol

1:37 am

Calorie too

1:37 am

Molly, are you here?

1:37 am

hi grandy

1:37 am

just a little sauce on each plate jilli.. not a lot

Uhhh, that's only if it's online jilli... in r/l there's probably a million calories in that. :P

1:38 am

calories... did you not know that once you stir... all the calories... go up in steam....

How come only Mrs. Ru eats too much, ruru? You never do I guess huh? lol

Haha, grandy.

1:39 am

would that that were true, grandy!

Yep. If only.

1:39 am

So good to know, grandy -- and broken cookies don't count, either.

1:39 am

it is where the calories come from not the amount..

1:40 am

(well over halfway, btw)

I thought calories are calories.

1:40 am

I firmly (or perhaps "firmly" is not the right word to use,..) that food you eat at church has no calories

1:40 am

yeah jilli

I mean 1,000 calories is still 1,000 calories, whatever the source.

1:41 am

is food at the church pastorized trif?

Oh man. That's bad, jilli. So bad.

1:41 am

that is technically true, Neil, but there are calories that do more than others. Some foods burn more calories to consume than others.....

Sorry, ruru!

1:41 am

oh gawd

1:41 am

LOL ruru!

Ugh. Why did I think I saw jilli saying that?

That's such a ruruism if ever there was one.

1:41 am

I keep seeing words that are not there... silly grid...ruru that is funny...

Or is that ruism?

1:41 am

too tru, neil!

1:42 am

and 1000 calories of a lean turkey sandwich on multi grain bread with tomatoes and dark lettuce will get you MUCH farther in life than 1000 calories of say, pork rinds

Haha. :P

Well yeah Trif... probably.

1:43 am

I think I read somewhere that pork rinds are the worst possible thing you can consume

1:43 am

feh. anything in moderation, right?

1:43 am

but gooood!

Especially since I don't eat pork. ✡

1:43 am

well, I mean...not arsenic....

1:44 am

really it is about healthy choices... and eat NOthing you can not pronounce in the ingredient list... and balance your blood sugar... I find it really helps.

Gee. That's too small to be seen!

Yep grandy. Those preservatives will not presrve you forever.

preserve, even.

I should give up on typing for tonight.

1:45 am

It made the point, neil

1:45 am

or pont

That could've been pint. I like that better.

Especially if we're talking beer.

1:46 am

ugh

1:46 am

that is more true than perhaps you realize, neil....my neighbor is an undertaker, and we were chatting one day, and he was just back from a conference where they were presented with findings that show that we are now taking a MARKEDLY longer period to decompose after death, due to the fact that most of us, when we die, are so full of preservatives that we are ourselves preserved. ugh.

Whoa. Seriously?

1:47 am

yeah.. ever seen Joan Rivers up close

1:47 am

yes, seriously. its the dirty little secret of his field at the moment

Gotta wonder what that shit's doing to your body.

Haha, ru!

I can't say that's someone well preserved though.

1:48 am

maybe it's just people who are decoffinated

1:48 am

It really is all that oil of olay...

1:48 am

rim shot for rurur

*whacks ruru*

Haha! Who owes who a beer?

1:48 am

or maybe sunscreen.... LOL I could use some anti wrinkle cream by the barrel.

1:48 am

:D

Oh nm... rim shot, yeah. Not a shot to the head... which he probably deserves a little more. ;)

With a pillow of course.

1:49 am

grandy, did you ever see the full monty? the film, I mean

1:49 am

a very long time ago

1:50 am

I always remember that line..."anti wrinkle cream there may be, but anti fat bastard cream there is not"

1:50 am

trifoso.... that is very very funny...

1:51 am

I liked that movie

1:51 am

neil, mate, trying to open your email...taking forever( that special link you sent me)....himself has been on-line for up to 16 hours per day, now we are on slow download.

1:51 am

Silly Little2bit!

7:59 am

Annie, someone here (Trif I think) raved about that movie.

7:59 am

she's definitely in the toddler mode of not wanting to miss anything that anyone might be doing! :-)

8:00 am

oh good, Molly

8:00 am

Yep, toddlers are very busy exploring their world.

8:00 am

Got that sa8: start w/ planet minus n, add bug

8:00 am

Ah, I remember that stage. "What are you eating?" "Toast" "Why?" "Because I'm hungry." "Why?" And so on and so forth.

8:04 am

she's not so much with the why as with the play with me and the bossing around. She's definitely the eldest child of two eldests :-)

8:05 am

Toddlers do believe they are supreme rulers of their world.

8:06 am

Hail Queen 2Bit!

Hi welki. How has the fishing been?

8:20 am

non-existent so far - weather hasn't been cooperating, silly 'must-do' projects have stood in the way - BUT next weekend, the rod's in the water or my name isn't welki!

8:21 am

gm, welki, scrabs, dan2, gr5, and all lurkers and anyone i missed.

8:21 am

Yay for you. Our weather has been so summery that I have been staying in the yard doing gardening rather than clean inside. The inside NEEDS cleaning.

8:23 am

might have made it out in the boat last weekend except that a cat decided to have kittens in one of the compartments - a litter of 4, 3 were alive - so there had to be some SERIOUS cleaning and disinfecting, if you get my drift

you are it booted you again :(

Do you have Yahoo IM?

It's been rude lately.

9:38 am

It likes to boot people off but usually doesn't last too long. This is weird.

9:38 am

the page shut sara.

You could get it.

9:38 am

still saying i have to enter my email!

If you do, same name on there... as here, as MSN.

Yeah. You have to enter your Hotmail address and password to log in.

9:39 am

it comes up automatically. there is nothing wrong with it!

9:39 am

it works for hotmail but nt for msn

9:40 am

ok, I have hit half way, and nbs and nbt. Time to check out of the motel and get on the road.

9:40 am

9:41 am

ttfn sue

yumm roast lamb for tea :)

9:50 am

nice

9:52 am

can i have a clue forat5/10 please

Oh sorry H, was answering email.

Well for antivirus/firewall/anti malware, I'm using "Norton Internet Security 2012". It's very good and hasn't conflicted with anything yet.

9:57 am

I swear by Kaspersky...

That's good too, Erda. And hi.

Oh damn, I think I forgot to forward that other email to you last night after all, in my tireness. Ugh.

I'll do that now.

9:59 am

Hi Neil. I'll write to you a little later...

Ok it's sent, Erda.

10:05 am

might try that then

I'm sorry about that. I was having fits yesterday because I lost my ATM card and needed it... so even up until I went to sleep last night, I was still searching for it. And like my kind of smartassed "psychic" friend told me, sure enough, I found it in the last place I looked. :P

So I got sidetracked looking for that and guess I forgot to send that forward... but done now.

10:05 am

i usually use avg but it wont let me download it!

What won't let you download AVG, H?

10:07 am

Hi Neil, glad to hear you found it

10:08 am

good morning my babble friends:)

10:08 am

10:08 am

hi crossy

HI flosey and thanks! So am I... you don't know how glad of that I am. Now I don't have to get my old one cancelled and get a new one.

Hey crossy. :)

10:09 am

howdy neil,flosey:)

Hey crossy... can you get on MSN? medusa is having a problem with it and I'm wondering if you might know of any possible solution, other than what I've suggested. Googling might find one too.

10:15 am

niel,soon debit cards will be a thing of the past.just before i closed my last station,i was given a sneak peek of a prototype cred/debit/fleet card reader that uses your fingerprint only.you fill out some information with your bank,give both thumb prints,then do the same wish fuel station/s that are in the program.now you are ready.next time you need gas, you place your thumb on the sensor,fill up and drive away when done

medusa, you could try this forum for help: http://tinyurl.com/7hv6qvx

10:15 am

firing up msn

Wow, crossy.

10:16 am

Hopefully one will not lose one's fingers...LOL Good morning all!

10:17 am

wow crossy, I'm impressed with that new system - sounds like the safest yet

10:17 am

that is why 2 prints,in case you lose a hand i suppose:)

10:18 am

it waorks amazing!!.secure,no pin numbers to remember nothing

10:18 am

of course they are working on the secuity of the fingerprint data base that will need to be created and stored

Next it will be an eye scan.

Hi Neil, Aloyisius, Medusa (welcome to pro!) and everyone...on this beautiful afternoon :)

But yeah. I know that.

Andrew! :)

11:00 am

confusing, but good

11:00 am

hi there andrew

You're not on IM. I'd "drag" you in if you were.

11:00 am

Hi Andrew

11:00 am

hi andrew

11:00 am

*groan*

11:00 am

Ha! look who's graoning!

11:01 am

uh groaning

ho ho ho, Neil :P no, I'm not...on-and-off skyping with family as well as writing another essay, so I have about all I can manage on the go right now :)

Well into one window ru... you can do that. Party.

11:01 am

thinking the same, hego

Oh well.

Yeah. I actually made ruru groan for once?

Amazing.

11:02 am

ooh the gun sound is acceptable, yay

11:03 am

I guess 38 is as far as I get.

Huh ru?

11:03 am

you will do it Ru!

You only have 38 words? Don't believe it.

11:03 am

why ruru?

11:03 am

no.. I have 183.. missing 38

You should see ru boggle. He's full of it. ;)

11:03 am

I have to list now.. hate listing

Oh I see. That makes a little more sense.

11:04 am

37

It doesn't hurt to list when stuck. It's amazing how easy it is to find words even just knowing what there is left to find.

Gosh, I keep seeing Stalin today.

Yep. See?

11:04 am

oh, but if time is of the essence.. you are allowed, ru

In the grid, of course; not in person.

11:04 am

I wish I were smart enough to not have to list

You're not lacking in smarts, ru.

Everyone has to list occasionally.

11:05 am

saves a lot of time, though

11:05 am

hah, monkeyed the ru5 - newbie for me

11:05 am

at5/10 please

11:05 am

who in the world would know all the obscure words?

Yes and nothing wrong with it. It isn't giving you the words... just letting you know what there is to find.

11:07 am

Bye love. hagd

Ha. Yeah, doseffing. I saw it appear as I was typing and nearly finished and about to post. :P

But no probs... yours was a great clue. :)

Distracted? One can always cover the chog.

Oh. Elsewhere! Duh... need to wake up.

according to the website I tried, I don't look like anybody famous. I must be utterly unique :P

I'm sure I don't either.

Which website is that?

11:36 am

I have never heard of any ultra-utterlies .... so you must be

http://celebrity.myheritage.com/FP/Com pany/try-face-recognition.php that's the link, Neil. give it a go :)

11:37 am

maybe uber-utterly?

Yep. Thanks Andrew... I'll try that. If my face doesn't crack something and damage the server. lol

haha! surely not, Neil...

11:39 am

nah .. I don't see oleo in that

oh lord, it just compared me to Lauren Bacall. I'm in love.

11:39 am

...gotta match..?

11:40 am

with Bacall or the site?

with anyone who says I look like Lauren Bacall, BabbleRabble ;)

11:40 am

gonna try that myself. should be fun!

11:41 am

in the old days some would answer "your breath and a buffalo fart"

yay, I've started something!

Holy crap. Vincent D'Onofrio? There's no resemblance between us, haha.

11:41 am

to "gotta match"

Haha Andrew. Your result was better than mine.

11:42 am

told me I look like rin tin tin

I uploaded this photo: http://tinyurl.com/72gzzj6

11:42 am

here,s a dog cookie for you then;)

Only cropped closer around my face.

11:43 am

at least you're trainable babble

11:44 am

as rin tin tin.. at least you'd be fetching

I used a photo of me as a boy. I'm not sure if Lauren would be flattered.

11:44 am

OMG! mine came out as margaret thatcher!!!

Oh weird. And it doesn't ask you what your gender is either. You'd think it would.

11:45 am

I belong to the non-fetchers union

Haha, medusa!

just as well; I'm never sure what answer to give :P

wow, Medusa!

Haha, Andrew!

I'm not sure whose match is less flattering medusa... yours or mine?

11:47 am

that facial recognition matched me with Ringo starr

11:47 am

wonders if Meryl Streep will take medusa's role

11:47 am

the funny thing is i have a friend who kept calling me marge last night!

Well could be worse I guess, crossy. ;)

Oh really H? Why?

11:47 am

11:47 am

gender: in process; confused; in transition

11:48 am

Well rest assured... you don't look like her.

11:49 am

thanks neil

11:49 am

I put in a photo of my sister and it gave her Tata Young. I don't know who that is! I guess 'Young' is an East-Asian name.

It has to be rather stressful, Andrew. I wish you well.

11:52 am

tata: http://tinyurl.com/79jfzd5

Hi viajes!

Hey red.

what's new everyone! hey, medusa has a picture now!

12:15 pm

Have fun medusa. :)

how is everyone?

Bye, Medusa! Enjoy your company :)

Well thanks and you, red?

12:15 pm

you too neil.

I'm well. trying to get organized for the work week...even though I do have Monday off..

Good, red. I'm always trying to get organized... and stay that way.

the staying that way thing is the worst. Right now I am trying to clip video bites, and then get them into a format that will go from my mac to a regular PC. I wish I knew anything about computers!

the worst new task I have though is ironing...

Oh. What video format?

Because most popular video formats play on both PCs and Macs.

I pulled some files off the net using graboid? and I am wondering If I can dump it into imovie, clip to the 30 sec clips I want and then somehow put them into an email and then insert into a power point...

They don't teach this in nursing school.

at least the grid is pretty easy.

12:43 pm

congrats, medusa, wtg!!! hi all.. back with some watermelon.. passes juicy slices around..

hubby goes back on June 7th

12:51 pm

ah, so safe from this one! good. they are saying (out here) that it's likely just to feel like a series of thunderstorms over several days... but I remember big rains when we lived in Puerto Rico and Virginia, so very glad to be well away from it!

12:52 pm

NBT!

12:52 pm

well, we were having an awful drought, so Fla. def needs rain!

12:52 pm

why is hubby going back? un-battening the hatches?

12:52 pm

yes, florida, texas, everywhere in between it seems is too dry.

12:53 pm

he has to maintain the grove.. during the rainy season, the grasses/weeds grow like crazy.. can't let it get out of hand.. vines would grow over the trees, etc..

12:54 pm

oh, yes that makes sense -- do you have kudzu infestation?

12:54 pm

no, thank goodness.. but lots of potato vines and other species

12:55 pm

that's good -- kudzu is scary! I keep thinking we should be eating it, then it will stop growing...

12:55 pm

wish there were some good kudzu dishes to fix.. a kudzu cookbook, lol

12:55 pm

kudzu kookbook

12:57 pm

5:40 pm

they are doing okay, a little peeved because I am spending a lot of time today working inside on an online course (free) that I really want to get through. The last two online multi-day courses I signed up for I didn't actually stick with. The class is on designing courses that use technology, something that I am hoping to grasp before I have my own classroom. This is my chance to make the most of this sort of excellent professional development until the next school year.

5:41 pm

lucky won't lay with you while you watch the internets?

5:41 pm

he paces and whines

5:42 pm

hmm. what a booger.

5:42 pm

LOL and the birds screech at just the right moment to bust my concentration. *sigh*

5:43 pm

stopped in to enjoy some babble chat between laundry loads

5:43 pm

And Tom mowed down a rose that was only just now getting back to health after being defoliated by the deer over the winter. I dug it up and put it in a pot with rich dirt hoping it can regenerate one more time. *heavy sigh* it wasn't on purpose, but it makes me sad.

5:43 pm

hy jilly

5:43 pm

or hey jilly

5:44 pm

they're just commenting on the show :)

5:44 pm

hi stid and jes

5:44 pm

LOL -- well there is a lot of built-in redundancy, to be sure, but I need the repetition to help me internalize the concepts and terminology.

5:45 pm

Oh, I know all about that stid, my hubby once helped weed the garden and pulled up ALL my cilantro...thought it was a weed

5:46 pm

sa8,45 clue?

5:46 pm

ack. yep. And I am pretty sure the "ragged robin" plant that my mother in law gave me years ago was weeded out too, but that could have been me, forgetting where it had been placed.

5:46 pm

there's an SA 8? oh dear...

5:47 pm

assume you mean the one after the hunger word

5:47 pm

there are two sa8

5:47 pm

jes, the sa8 you want is something that is absorbent

5:47 pm

sa8/45= noun for something that soaks in

5:47 pm

thanks for the hunger word jilly and hey peri

5:47 pm

or something that absorbs

5:47 pm

hey stid

5:48 pm

oooh, GREAT clue peri!

5:48 pm

stiddy I made an untuna spread with garbanzo beans. did I ever give you the recipe. it is really good

5:48 pm

Hi again peri

5:48 pm

I don't know if you did, peri, but I can check. hold on

5:48 pm

hi jily

5:49 pm

or jilly

5:49 pm

yes, you did! I still have the recipe, and glad you mentioned it because I am getting nervous about all the tuna we eat! LOL

5:50 pm

oh good. it is easy to make and delish, imho

5:50 pm

I have a lot of Coba beans to use tonight, not sure what I am going to make with them, but they should be a nice change of pace from pinto beans. I might spice them up and then make tamales tomorrow.

5:51 pm

untuna?

5:51 pm

never heard of Coba beans

5:51 pm

I am planning tamale pie made with antelope

5:51 pm

basically use the garbanzos in place of a can of tuna fish. it's yummy!

5:51 pm

antelope meat?

5:51 pm

thanks for the sa clue (belatedly- distracted by phone)

5:51 pm

hm. that would be different, jilly -- home-grown? were they eating your roses?

5:51 pm

you have made it, stiddy?

5:52 pm

yes, when you reminded me and I looked, I remembered when I made it. but it was a while ago, almost four years!

5:52 pm

anglo is not a word?

5:52 pm

oh my, that long ago?

5:53 pm

LOL, nope. Gift from a friend.

5:53 pm

robwhy..I had that same sentiment

5:53 pm

yep. can you imagine we have been online friends for so long and still haven't met? someday, I hope..

5:53 pm

hey rob. it would be a proper noun

5:53 pm

I hope so too, stid

5:53 pm

aha

5:54 pm

with game meat it's good to use a strong sauce like mexican or italian...takes the gaminess down a bit...

5:54 pm

wish I could do some traveling like sue this summer but there is no one to look after my cat even tho there are several other people living here at the moment :(

5:54 pm

I can't eat anything like that any more, but I had elk meat once about 25 years ago, is it like that?

5:54 pm

Speaking of that, had better scoot and get dinner started...bbl...nice chatting *poof*

5:55 pm

I don't eat red meat and would never,ever had eaten antelope meat

5:55 pm

5:55 pm

5:57 pm

6:05 pm

stidmama, I have misplaced that recipe you have in your profile. how can I transfer it from you profile to me?

6:07 pm

I can email it to you peri -- LOVE this recipe, and have some blackberries all thawed out to make a topping for dessert this evening!

6:07 pm

are you still at verizon for email?

6:07 pm

thanks, would appreciate that, stid

6:10 pm

hi - was reading about un-tuna and found an alternative to the garbanzo beans, if you're interested - frozen and thawed tofu - different texture, maybe a little more like tuna

6:10 pm

okay, sent it off, will come from me at gmail

6:10 pm

yes I am stid

6:10 pm

hey welki! is it fishing season yet?

6:10 pm

here's the recipe site: http://hungryvegan.blogspot.ca/2009/07 /great-untuna-saladcenter.html

6:10 pm

I am not crazy about tofu

6:10 pm

but I will check out that site, welki

6:10 pm

it is, stid, but we've been too busy. maybe next weekend

6:11 pm

will look for it stiddy

6:11 pm

Hi everyone, could I please have a clue for the as 6/21. Thanks

6:11 pm

bbs

6:11 pm

6:12 pm

that looks like a good recipe, welki.

6:12 pm

hey girlie

6:12 pm

i thought so, too - bet even peri would like it ;)

6:13 pm

Thanks! I hate words beginning with vowels.

6:13 pm

yw :-0

6:13 pm

I am watching a video on instructional design that is using "fishing" as the example skill set. LOL so it's funny you should show up!

6:14 pm

merci bien, chere Une! comment sa va? Fait pluie aujord'hui?

6:14 pm

i worked with a man who's in d.c. this week - he has seain's and jmc's info - he's looking for restaurants, things to do and i really hope he can connect with them

6:14 pm

oh man, we could sure use some rain -- dry as a bone and 95 today

6:15 pm

and here, there was snow to the west of us - it's in the high 40s, low 50s now

6:15 pm

(hard frost last night)

6:16 pm

watered and watered and watered today -- plants AND to cool down the thirsty birds! LOL

6:16 pm

maybe Beryl will bring you some rain soon, Une, i hear she's a big storm.

6:16 pm

welki, that's amazing

6:16 pm

oh welki, that's not a lot of fun... but probably better a little warm than freezing. I planted (optimistically) our hubbard squash today. Hoping that 110 days from now we will be baking seeds and eating pies!

6:16 pm

yep - and that's following what seems like weeks of rain. wish i could bottle up the surplus weather and send it down to you

6:18 pm

Hi. Just getting the fireplace to blaze again. Damp and cool today.

6:18 pm

i don't know how the farmers up here cope with our insane weather - i am so appreciative of them, they really must love what they do because boyhowdy, it's hard, hard work

6:18 pm

stid, doesn't look like Beryl's gonna influence our weather . . . sigh

6:19 pm

BUT thanks to all the spring rains, my hydrangeas have been LUSH!

6:20 pm

(love hydrangeas)

6:21 pm

hello Mother

6:21 pm

hey, stidgmere :-)

6:21 pm

Hi mama.

6:21 pm

I like hydrangeas, one of these days I'll get a couple for the wooded area in the back. They'd do well there.

6:22 pm

once they're established, they require no care at all except an occasional drink in dry weather

6:23 pm

I've had enough blooms this year to be able to share bouquets with a number of folks :-)

6:23 pm

yes, it's the type of shrub I really try to plant -- low maintenance. I am trying to get the only beds that need attention to be the veggies and a few flower beds up by the front entry. Everything else I try to plan so it's a once-a-year touch up.

6:23 pm

I have lovely snowball bush blooms this year.

6:24 pm

i had some back east - miss them, forsythia, peonies, azaleas, pussy willows - sigh

6:24 pm

cool!!

6:24 pm

welki, my peonies were very happy this year too -- one of my favorites

6:24 pm

I like forsythia, but Mother is allergic -- I have lilacs and roses in the yard, so am avoiding planting forsythia. (although down by the road a bush might work...)

6:25 pm

sounds beautiful, stiddy

6:26 pm

ok - if i start now and swing south to pick une up, we can be there by - thursday, if we drive straight through, stid :)

6:26 pm

it's nice, but somewhat wild after all those years unable to keep things up. By next year the yard will be functional again I think.

6:26 pm

:-) I'll put the kettle on for tea, and we can visit Mother, too -- she has a "garden room" that is just delightful.

6:26 pm

welki LOL!!

6:27 pm

ooohhh, delightful, stid!

6:27 pm

hello everyone :)

6:28 pm

hello nan!

6:28 pm

hey, nan!

6:28 pm

could someone please help with the an7/28 cannot find it at all please and thanks

6:28 pm

sorry, don't have it yet

6:28 pm

speed, it was clued for me as AN + vowel + an electric shock used by police

6:29 pm

We sat in the pergola yesterday but today we're fireside. I made a red velvet cake which is supposed to be made with oil but I made it with butter. Everything is better with butter. I should have put bacon in it too for corssy.

6:29 pm

thanks you stid with your help got it!!

6:29 pm

bacon would be gilding the lily, Mother

6:29 pm

yw speedfreak

6:30 pm

I have a yellow and white iris blooming. It also needs no gilding.

6:30 pm

oh, I am envious! my iris aren't even thinking about blooming yet

6:30 pm

my iris came and went a couple of months ago :-)

6:31 pm

Everyone's yard has its own timetable for blooms.

6:32 pm

We should have a Babble Iris tour. Sort of guess when you should arrive at any particular spot.

6:32 pm

:-D

6:33 pm

we could post our current blooms as profile pics...

6:33 pm

It will be fall before I figure it out again--how to change the portrait picture.

6:34 pm

ok, hang on . . .

6:36 pm

<<<<<<<<<<<<< tada!!

6:36 pm

6:37 pm

6:38 pm

stid, those blooms are all on one little hydrangea in my backyard -- crazy colors, eh?

6:38 pm

hello every one

6:38 pm

it's a native berry, manages to show up in lots of unexpected places -- thimbleberries which are nice, but full of seeds.

6:38 pm

hey, onyx :-)

6:38 pm

they are crazy, don't hydrangeas usually pick one color, based on acidity of the land?

6:38 pm

hey onyx

6:39 pm

thimbleberries . . . charming flower and charming name!

6:39 pm

yes, stid . . .

6:39 pm

THIMBLEBERRIES? I HAVE A BLACKBERRY OF SOME SORT IN THE BACK YARD. DOESNT HAVE THORNS

6:40 pm

oops didn't mean to shout

6:40 pm

ok, ladies, am taking a break -- loved seeing you all! *poof*

Good for you! I skipped oly before carmon started on the birthday cake project again today!

8:05 pm

mcurl...gaining quite the reputation eh?

8:06 pm

Oh, it was really good...not gamey...very lean..perfect for the tamale pie! And have enough left for a second meal!!

8:06 pm

hmph. home. you sound fuddy-duddy like me! LOL

I don't mind helping with the projects but sometimes they get a bit intense

8:06 pm

so glad it turned out well jilly

8:06 pm

home is where you babble?

absolutely! Although I can babble on my nook away from home

8:07 pm

anywhere I hang my grid is home... *singing off key*

didn't sound off key to me1

8:08 pm

My home's in Montana, I wear a bandana, my spurs are silver; my pony is gray...

8:09 pm

My luck never changes With foot in the stirrup I'll gallop away Yip-ee-tie, yip-ee-tie-yeh! Yip-ee-tie, yip-ee-tie-oh!

8:09 pm

wow jilly! that's some great lasso work there.

8:10 pm

When valleys are dusty My pony is trusty He lopes through the blizzard The snow in his ears The cattle may scatter But what does it matter My rope is a halter for pig-headed steers

8:10 pm

*quietly closes door to corral after jilly*

8:10 pm

Yip-ee-tie, yip-ee-tie-yeh! Yip-ee-tie, yip-ee-tie-oh! I whistle a merry old song of the trail My home's in Montana I wear a bandana My spurs are silver My pony is gray When riding the ranges My luck never changes With foot in the stirrup I'll gallop away

8:11 pm

Okay, I'm done...just couldn't resist with the topic of home....

8:12 pm

*checks jilly's temperature*

8:13 pm

it's a fine song, jilly -- I can smell the beans and the campfire, and burnt boiled coffee

8:13 pm

hey ruru

8:13 pm

hmmm.. thought those spurs were for later jilly

8:13 pm

I'll blame it on ra7/28 combo....

8:13 pm

ROFL

8:14 pm

Oh ruru...how ever did you know *wicked wink*

8:14 pm

just a wild guess

8:25 pm

So true!

8:25 pm

Hello gwenski!How are you doing?Welcome to the grid

8:25 pm

hi folks!

8:26 pm

Of course, these kids are in a different time zone (six hours behind me), so it could mean my phone going off in the middle of the night sometime.

8:26 pm

Helllo welki! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog.

8:26 pm

jm - thanks for the hospitality, i hope he calls, too.

8:26 pm

8:29 pm

8:29 pm

I am fine. It was a beautifule day. We had lunch with old friends. And I am down to 63 left in the grid.

8:29 pm

st 8/50?

8:29 pm

yes it just blew thru. . . seems mostly done already

8:30 pm

sa 8/45 is sa plus some people eat out in a res*a*****.

8:30 pm

st8/50=pool of still water...build on the 6/24

8:30 pm

Thanks Min

8:30 pm

y

8:30 pm

yw

8:31 pm

st 8/50 is st 4/6 word plus Mr. Hawthorne's nickname

8:31 pm

Oh! I was trying to use a word with two N's. Thanks!

8:32 pm

ty Min.

8:33 pm

yw

8:33 pm

well, I am under 60, so feel good about my performance today. off to study some more. have a great evening, all! *poof*

8:34 pm

bye stid...

8:34 pm

wd stiddie and bye

8:34 pm

Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the log.

8:36 pm

jm? will you have 'off' from your studies during the summer?

8:37 pm

yes. . . friday was my last day for that so now i will be focused on my organization and maybe making some money

8:37 pm

although i do have 2 papers left 15 pages and 20 pages

8:37 pm

What are you doing now jmc?

8:37 pm

so almost done :)

8:38 pm

see my profile jilly

8:38 pm

i was suppose to have another class but it got canceled . . .

8:38 pm

Hey, jmc. We finally got our solar panels turned on this week.

8:38 pm

wd wht

8:38 pm

Of course, until today, it has been mostly cloudy.

8:39 pm

mine have decided to die

8:39 pm

i have sent an email and who knows when they will get back to me. . .

8:39 pm

I thought they were supposed to live forever, or at least 20 years. What happened?

8:40 pm

Good for you jmc...our state constitution dealt with the corporation/politic issue nearly 100 years ago...

8:40 pm

i have no clue. . .it may be the monitor rather than the panels. . .

8:41 pm

we will see how that turns out . . . your state constitution is before the supremes shortly

8:41 pm

Does your electric meter still run backwards?

8:41 pm

Yep, *fingers crossed*

8:41 pm

i haven't looked. . . it is outside

8:41 pm

popping out. Thanks for the clues. Bye

8:41 pm

bye gwen

8:42 pm

i think it looks pretty good for montana but that doesn't solve the federal issue

8:42 pm

Ah, yay. A little rain here too. Forced all the loud, drunk, barbecuing neighbors indoors. : D

8:42 pm

Our oldest (History major) is home visiting and we have had many a conversation on it..

8:42 pm

bye gwen...catch you later!

8:42 pm

yay rain!

8:43 pm

Sometimes rain has more benefits than moisture!

8:44 pm

jmc, do you think there is a chance that the supremes will admit to having made a mistake?

8:44 pm

well it is possible. . . that is why they took the montana case. . . but there is more to it than that

8:45 pm

your neighbors are the Donner Party Molly?

8:45 pm

I tell you, the history behind our MT aritcles should give them pause for cause....the War of the Copper Kings was a really black eye in the history of Montana..

8:46 pm

jmc, I actually think that the real problem was not corporate personhood as much as equating political contributions to speech.

8:47 pm

are there any books or articles about that jilly? I am interested in as much information as possible

8:48 pm

Yes, Ru, the Donner party. Much louder though.

8:48 pm

I think it's a snapshot of what's evil in our political system, heck, our nation in general...the WRONG people have all the influence

8:48 pm

wht it is a collision of two problems. . . corporate personhood is a problem and campaign finance is a problem. . . this case is the crossroad.

8:48 pm

yikes

8:48 pm

I'd hate that

8:49 pm

I agree jilly which is why i want to spend the rest of my career dealing with these issues. . . and then redistricting. . .

8:49 pm

this is the best kind of learning

8:50 pm

jmc: The War of The Copper Kings by Glassock

8:50 pm

(The War of The Copper Kings, C.B. Glasscock and The Battle for Butte, Michael P. Malone - gosh, I love Google!)

8:50 pm

ty both. . . i will read them

8:50 pm

http://www.amazon.com/War-Copper-Kings -Carl-Glasscock/dp/1931832218

8:51 pm

what a last name on that writer

8:51 pm

fragile even

8:51 pm

MIchael Malone was the President of my alma mater

8:52 pm

i should have paid better attention in school

8:52 pm

why welki? its not like they tell you about this stuff in most schools

8:54 pm

maybe not, but perhaps if a spark had been lit, i'd be better informed. it wasn't until college that i learned how to 'learn' history - the only way i could retain any of it was to associate art and music with a particular era

8:54 pm

another interesting one is Collapse by Michael Diamond...on the societal implications in general

8:54 pm

already had that one in my sights jilly but ty

8:55 pm

good evening, all, we are in Elmira NY, on our way back home tomorrow!

8:55 pm

so - the punchline is that i'm grateful that you folks open my eyes on a daily basis :)

8:55 pm

hi uu

8:55 pm

hi sue

8:56 pm

True for all of us welki!

8:56 pm

hahahahaha great punch line

8:56 pm

hi uusue!

8:56 pm

hi welki and jmc!

8:56 pm

*innocent look*

8:56 pm

*not so innocent look*

8:56 pm

and Jilly!

8:56 pm

:)

8:56 pm

Jilly, Collapse is pretty scary when you realize that it applies to us, now.

8:57 pm

I too am glad that my eyes open on a daily basis :-)

8:57 pm

Sure does...

8:57 pm

me too, sue - yep, when they open, i think, 'it's a good day'

8:57 pm

Welki, so if you need music to learn history, start listening to the likes of Woody Guthrie.

8:58 pm

yes three years ago i went to a baptist peace fellowship called "when the empire fails"

8:58 pm

and pete seeger

8:58 pm

glad I was not in Illinois today, high temp at home was 97F!

8:58 pm

wht - exactly what i mean. if you listen to the lyrics of, for instance, Deportee, you really learn more than a song

8:59 pm

pete seeger :)

8:59 pm

<-- has a stack of Sing Out! magazines

8:59 pm

so uu am i to understand i won't be able to see the transit of venus anyway? there is a baseball game that night and i am torn

9:00 pm

Peter Paul and Mary too...

9:00 pm

yep - and the weavers

9:00 pm

That would be make a great history course. History from Sing Out Magazine.

9:01 pm

ooo i would take that course!

9:01 pm

you need a telescope with a solar filter, Jmc

9:01 pm

Me too!

9:01 pm

or there may be places that will live stream it (which is how I saw the eclipse)

9:01 pm

so i should just go to that game

9:01 pm

you can listen to alan lomax's archives online

9:01 pm

no telescope or filter

9:02 pm

I think so, jmc

9:02 pm

wht: http://www.npr.org/blogs/therecord/201 2/03/28/148915022/alan-lomaxs-massive- archive-goes-online

9:03 pm

<<-- would travel to take that course

9:04 pm

maybe we could make it a babble meet up

9:04 pm

so instead, i'll eat a piece of cake - g'night good people (and don't forget tom paxton)

9:04 pm

(and phil ochs)

9:04 pm

Babble Meet Up with Alan Lomax and Peet Seeger?

9:04 pm

niters welki

9:05 pm

hmmm pete seeger is a possibility . . . he has been at several quaker things

9:05 pm

(and eric anderson - who taught me what a horrible thing strip-mining can be)

9:05 pm

bye all i need to hit the hay

9:05 pm

hehehe -- seems i'm having a little difficulty leaving.

9:05 pm

night, jmc!

9:05 pm

By jmc

9:05 pm

*poof*

9:06 pm

but i'm going out singing - byeeeee

9:06 pm

9:06 pm

10:47 pm

10:47 pm

i suggested that to ryan. he says no its easier to use the remote

10:48 pm

ok . . . LOL

10:48 pm

it is odd though how it has disappeared. we have looked everywhere.

10:48 pm
