hi guys and gals!

hi pav!

12:56 am

This is strange dictionary. It takes miso, not bento (another puzzle) It won't take spam--maybe it thinks its a brand name, not a tech term?

12:57 am

It won't take spam .. because no one around here eats it... yuck

12:57 am

yes, marai, enable is strange indeed. Scroll down in my profile...

12:57 am

*marais -- sorry

yeah, it is apparently an old pre-computer dictionary. won't take a lot of common (newish) words

12:58 am

according to my grandson, spam is a poper noun and a food group. he says most college kids are aware of thes

it won't take internet or email, for example

spam is also a tech term, and wordsplay takes it

12:59 am

@jill - I saw your profile. Very odd selection procees. I guess it's still in the 1970's. oops, dating myself.

1:00 am

soundslike good dating, marais, lol!

1:01 am

I'm grumpy about the me 6/27

re 7/36

and re 8

1:03 am

1:12 am

1:12 am

you can google it

1:13 am

hope she doesn't get turf toe

1:13 am

turf toe?

1:13 am

does it involve cocktails?

1:14 am

I doubt it

1:14 am

seems like a lot of activities in Salt Spring center around good cocktails..lol

1:15 am

and wine ;-)

1:25 am

nice write-up in your profile ru!

1:29 am

Yay, I've found 100 words...time for a long nap!

1:29 am

ditto to what Pav said.!

1:29 am

and very true.

1:30 am

worried about what group I land in lol

1:31 am

I reckon you'd be in the chatters group,Katie.

1:31 am

But maybe you can be in one group to begin with and then progress to another.

I think I change groups depending how my "real" life is going :)

1:32 am

I'm hoping so diz :) I certainly not a serious and hoping not a holier than thou :)

1:32 am

(((((Haz))))))) long time no see, how are you and yours?

1:32 am

evening/ morning all. well i definitely know which group i fall into. lol

hi haz!

1:32 am

Morning granny & Dee

1:33 am

which one Granny - the holier than thou....hehehehe

1:33 am

hey katie, dee, haz, diz, pav, ruru

1:33 am

Good morning/evening all. I usually observe silently at this time... I refuse to be called a lurker, it makes me sound shifty.

hi katie

1:33 am

lol diz

1:33 am

naughty girl, diz. but of course.

1:34 am

Hello, Katie, I'm fine, just waiting to do the morning run to the station with my daughter. The only running is done by the car.

1:34 am

hi Granny!

I agree haz... never liked that term "lurker"... some are just introverted and come for the peace and quiet

1:34 am

I'm about to make hubby's lunch - really not sure why this is my job but it appears to be so :)

1:35 am

hey dee, you called me a lurker the other day/night. ;P

1:35 am

I keep pushing for either 'interested onlooker' or 'silent observer' but it doesn't seem to work for most.

ooops, so sorry granny... didn't mean it derogatorily

1:36 am

i think i probably have a toe in just about all the groups. lol

depends on the day for me, gran...

1:36 am

i know dee, was having a lend of you. i know YOU wouldn't say anything to hurt me.

we need another category "all of the above"

:)

1:37 am

We have to find out which is ruru's favourite group and aim for it.

1:37 am

lol. nice one dee. and haz, ruru doesn't need any help with aiming, i'm sure.

I think ru probably likes the lively conversationalists

I get enough of that from hubby lol

1:38 am

after a couple, all guys have trouble aiming...

1:39 am

dee, physio very pleased with me today. swelling just about completely gone. range of movement excellent. just have to get pain under control. hydro days are killers.

LOL LOL

1:39 am

if the shoe fits haz...lol

sooooo happy for great progress!

1:39 am

pfft....bourbon all over keyboard...PAV

speaking of hubby... he said any time you want to come visit ru and cook lamb, you are invited :)

1:40 am

ruru, what inspired you to categorise the groups?

1:40 am

don't get your tongue stuck between the keys!

1:41 am

hmmm...long story Haz

1:42 am

i needed to get it off my chest so to speak

1:42 am

and btw, hopefully going to catch up with mrp on the wekend, via phone. any messages?

1:42 am

Which you're not going to tell.

1:42 am

granny, please let her know I am very much alive...I miss her too!

1:43 am

I think it says a lot

1:43 am

I can read between the lines, I think.

hugs for her from afar :)

1:43 am

hi grannyrose - send my best wishes to mrp and tell her she's missed.

1:44 am

I bet you can

1:44 am

roach

1:44 am

sorry - takes cup of tea to PB

1:44 am

lol

1:45 am

what was that about giving direct clues? ! or needing them?

1:45 am

Okay, have to head to the station, back later.

1:45 am

lunch done, time for a concentrate attack on the grid

1:45 am

1:47 am

Hi Katie

1:49 am

This one is for the british - hubby has just left for work and has left the TV on Daybreak - surely this is grounds for divorce?

1:50 am

1:50 am

wtg granny

wtg

1:51 am

thanx you all. i am so getting sick of c words.

we have sure had a lot of them in the last few weeks

1:54 am

Katie - chuck the TV and restore harmony

1:55 am

I just turned over to breakfast :)

1:55 am

*giggle* when i told Don there were 59 c words in today's grid, he said...i don't think i know 59 c words.

know that feeling

1:57 am

I'm just trying to get half way through them

fireworks

1:57 am

yay, Dee! and hi all

1:57 am

Wow WTG!!!!!

1:57 am

WTG DEE!!!!

hi rb and ty

1:58 am

hey rbud

ty... well I must be off busy day tomorrow; kids coming for weekend; want to bake some cookies; made pumpkin bread today

2:00 am

well done dee!!

ty flask

2:00 am

sounds lovely Dee, have a good day with them :)

2:00 am

night, dee. sounds yummy, can i come over to your house? for a sleep over?

congrats on the great progress granny

2:01 am

tell your hubby dee.. I'll be happy to come cook a meal someday

come ahead, gran!

If I tell him, he'll hold you to it, ru.

2:01 am

thanx, hun. hope you have a good sleep tonight.

2:01 am

hips

ty katie; they haven't been home for 6 mos, so I am super excited!!

2:01 am

... ok.. i love cooking for people

ty, you, too.

He loves eating LOL... drinking scotch and good wine, so you, two, would be a pair :)

2:02 am

blink....oh ...FOR people.....my eyes skipped that 'for'

2:02 am

scotch.. my kind of guy

single malt

lol gran

2:03 am

oh.. better yet

2:03 am

fantastic Dee, I miss Mari when she goes on holiday I would be besides myself if I was seeing her after 6 months

2:03 am

my last name isn't Donner granny jeezus

fortunately, we have seen her, Katie, but at her home, not ours, so this will be fun...only her 2nd time in our new house

2:03 am

I have bought hubby a limited edition bottle for his birthday (1 of 180) a one barrel lot, it cost a fortune but I'm hoping he will enjoy it

2:04 am

I'm sure you will have a fantastic time

oooh, sounds amazing, Katie. Hubby is member of the Scotch Society in Scotland... he hoards his money, so he can purchase some of their special bottles like that.

What a great gift!

2:04 am

lol, ruru...

happy they are coming this weekend, got disappointing news today that my brother won't be able to come for Thanksgiving, so I have been in a snit all evening.

2:05 am

it was an impulse buy but on reflection I'm really pleased with it. Hubby now has 3 decent bottles of peaty malt. I might get him a membership to an appreciation society for Christmas

2:06 am

how disappointing, dee. there's nothing like a family get together with everyone there.

2:06 am

Oh I am sorry Dee, so disappointing when you have been looking forward to it.

My hubby loves the peaty ones I like the clear ones like Dalwinnie (sorry I can't spell that)

2:06 am

i think you on4 said you had quite a large extended family like me?

Definitely... felt he could have declined the "commitment" that came up, so miffed and disappointed...

Most of my family (my side) has died, but large family on hubby's side.

and my nieces and nephews and sis live very far away

okay, I am done bitching... ty for letting me blow off steam... all better now :)

HUGS to all my babble buds!!!

2:09 am

*covers ears*

2:09 am

s'okay, dee. we all need to do it.

2:09 am

{{hugs}} for dee

lol ru

waving!!!

2:10 am

rant receiving is only one of the many services we offer :)

2:12 am

oh, in that ca4...*pulls up soapbox, and climbs on*.....

2:12 am

I must also go and start work. We are getting communicator at home soon so we can 'face to face' when working at home so I'm going to make the most of being able to work in my fluffy pink robe whilst I can.

2:13 am

later, kate. hope you have a good day.

2:13 am

Katie - it was only a matter of time before the shirt-and-tie / little black frock invaded the home!

2:16 am

*grabs popcorn, waits for g'rose's soapbox speech*

2:16 am

lol, rbud.....please don't hold your breath, blue just isn't your colour.

2:17 am

rats, you mean you were only kidding? I was ready...

2:19 am

oh, yeah, right....maybe another night when i get really worked up about something.....then again.....nah, will leave it.

2:20 am

lol! well then, carry on as usual! :)

2:20 am

i tried so many ways for that ph7*shakes head* got it NOW....

2:23 am

wow, that's an odd one

2:23 am

told you so...

2:27 am

aha! just over half now, a couple of 8's... may have to go back to curtain making. I was delayed by a lack of materials - store didn't have quite enough of what I wanted. have had to change plan a bit.

2:28 am

but the ironing board and sewing machine are beckoning again.

2:28 am

so frustrating rbud. especially when you have your heart set on a particular material, pattern, colour.

2:29 am

must be a pressing subject rbud

2:29 am

* giggle* i shut the door on my ironing board this AM. if i can't see it.....it just might disappear.

2:30 am

my eyes are burning.. good night granny

2:31 am

should be your ears, ruru...lol

2:31 am

or are you really saying goodnight?

2:34 am

my ears?

2:34 am

guess it was goodnight...sleep well, mate

2:38 am

yes, dear...i was sharing your witticisms with Don

2:40 am

my witticisms? like what?

2:41 am

pressing subject for one. he is a great punstertoo, as you know.

2:41 am

lol.. oh.. thanks

2:42 am

I'm re-pleat with ironing jokes

2:42 am

you do realise if the 2 of you ever get together, you had better have 911 on speed dial.

2:42 am

lol

2:43 am

okay.. off to bed. night granny

2:44 am

sleep well, mate. see you at the flip. if not before.

2:44 am

whew! what'd I miss - night ru, thanks for the giggles I'm just seeing... had a little dog-at-large problem to deal with, now going to go back to the curtains

2:44 am

depends on whether the chog police are out in force....

2:45 am

The chog police or the icon warriors, you mean?

2:46 am

haz, chog police, i'm under attack at the moment. it's all so silly and pathetic.

2:46 am

Oh dear.

2:47 am

I've been in the same position and I know it's hurtful and probably takes up more time in your brain than you want.

2:47 am

nah, it's np's. i just laugh at them, and carry on in my usual way. i know who my friends are, and i value them highly.

2:48 am

Keep calm and babble on.

2:49 am

initially i was worried, then i remembered who i am. if peeps don't like what i say, well tell me to my face.don't skulk around. i love this game, and chogging is part of it.

2:52 am

Skulking sounds so conspiratorial, doesn't it?

2:52 am

lovely word....exactly, haz.

2:53 am

I wish I could stay, granny, but I've got to get ready to go out. I'll look forward to coming back to this nice big grid. Enjoy your day.

2:54 am

you, too, haz. see you at the flip, hun

2:54 am

Toodle-oo!

3:04 am

5:28 am

My father grew up speaking Yiddish at home and he never spoke it with me ((((

5:29 am

What a shame. It's such a colorful language.

5:29 am

Hi all - I need some help. I;m looking for an sc5/12. It is one of the two before the sc4 singing. Any help>

5:30 am

Yiddish is old low German. Outside of its colorful words and expressions, it's not that interesting. When my German husband's aunt first heard it, she thought it "funny"

5:30 am

sc + small black bug

5:31 am

sc + picnic pest

5:31 am

I have sc + ***s and crafts

5:32 am

thanks Molly

5:32 am

I have that one. And I have the sc ike shopping trolly.

5:33 am

To frighten someone?

5:35 am

Thanks Molly - I was looking up, not down.

5:35 am

Time to take the dogs out for their early AM walkies...in the pouring rain Ugh bbl

5:36 am

Soggy fluffs.

6:09 am

oh my, a big grid on a day with little time

6:10 am

today is a "cooking day"

6:10 am

paeilla and gazpacho for DIL

6:13 am

G'day, Ruby.

6:13 am

hello BR

6:14 am

Hi ruby, BR

6:14 am

Hello, bichon

6:14 am

{{bichon}}

6:14 am

is today your "stinky dog day"

6:14 am

but nothing can be worse than a wet chow chow

6:15 am

wet Bichons smell pretty

6:15 am

like flowers lol

6:19 am

phantom: fey

6:20 am

Of course, when it rains, they refuse to poop [there gets to be a point]

6:20 am

my chows all smell different. Rufus smelled like peaches, wet or dry

6:20 am

Max had sweet breath

6:20 am

Ruby is stinky, wet or dry, but has the best coat imaginable

6:21 am

I've never had a Bichon with sweet breath

6:21 am

and Rufie has a really strong "male" smell (at least that's what the vet said. She said that he'll always smell like that

6:21 am

all the dogs have had pleasant breath and very white teeth

6:22 am

are your dogs neutered ruby?

6:22 am

Bichons tend to have rotten teeth. Chewing on a stick is foreign to them

6:23 am

we haven't neureter the previous two males and are loathe to do it to Rufie as he is such a magnificent specimen.

6:23 am

Ruby was spayed because DH couldn't deal with "het"

6:23 am

PLEASE!

6:23 am

heat*

6:24 am

I thought you only had males

6:24 am

no, we alternate. Two dogs at a time, one male and one female

6:24 am

I don't think neutering is as prevalent outside North America

6:25 am

not necessary here as there are so few people in our village and our dogs are either in our garden or on leashes

6:25 am

and neither Rufus nor Max ever noticed girls

6:25 am

"gay chow chows"

6:25 am

The dog license fee is higher for unaltered dogs.

6:25 am

we don't pay a fee here

6:26 am

One of my Bichons, Biscuit used to hump boys

6:26 am

Rufie has tried to mount Ruby and she says "Are you crazy?"

6:27 am

(she's rather spinsterish)

6:27 am

Biscuit, despite having been neutered, still would show signs of not, if you know what I mean

6:28 am

one time, dear sweet dopey Max, showed his pipi which was quite red compared to his blackness, but I never saw it again

6:29 am

Rufie, on the other hand, sports his "vcouilles" proudly and they are black and large and very obvious

6:29 am

I was very embarrassed as the dog next door was a puppy. and, it didn't go away. Had to call the Vet for instruction on what to do.

6:30 am

I deal with so much stuff that the dogs had better work it out themselves

6:30 am

Rufie is so cute and funny that I wouldn't ever tell him "no", I leave it to Ruby to growl and discipline him

6:32 am

but I can imagine how embarrassing that could be....

6:32 am

I need a rest. Talk to you later

6:32 am

have a good rest, sweetie

6:32 am

as6/24 plz

6:33 am

hello ivesy

6:41 am

6:42 am

6:48 am

And last night I spoke with soodle and we talked (fondly) about you, Molly!!!!

6:48 am

and Bobby has a letter on the way....

6:49 am

It's so nice to hear that people still send letters.

6:51 am

my sister (in NY) writes to me and sends clippings, some of which I forward to Bobby and others

6:51 am

there's nothing like getting "real" mail (not that I mind e-mails.....)

6:52 am

Letters are a part of how we have kept track of history. I doubt it will be the same with emails. Especially since emails are usually full of deplorable spelling.

6:52 am

hopefully, not the ones I send (or receive)

6:52 am

There is something very personal about getting something in someone's handwriting.

6:53 am

very true

6:54 am

If you have ever seen the Civil War movie, "Glory" that story was based on letters from Colonel Robert Gould Shaw to his mother.

7:26 am

Perhaps the best cure for the fear of death is to reflect that life has a beginning as well as an end. There was a time when you were not: that gives us no concern. Why then should it trouble us that a time will come when we shall cease to be? To die is only to be as we were before we were born. -William Hazlitt

7:26 am

you never read the blog about the chicken?

7:27 am

there is a blog about a steel chicken?

10:56 am

The Swiss

10:56 am

It's really Guandong

10:57 am

The Chinese Swiss

10:57 am

Almost lunch time on the East Coast

10:57 am

haz still here?

10:57 am

just checked the dict - seems its also a technological term in heraldry

10:57 am

Not making any comment about Guan and his...

10:57 am

I am.

10:57 am

Should I have ******ese food?

10:58 am

but i guess there are more swiss /peops who know switzerland on this planet than experts in flags ...

10:58 am

in case you were wondering.. you're at the top of my chatters group.. although you don't chat much anymore.. you are sort of a new group the lurk / chatters.. but so far you are the only one ..lo

10:58 am

Damn, now I want Chinese food.

10:59 am

me too ...

10:59 am

Me too. I'll place an order. What's your fave?

10:59 am

i had ducks tongues once ...

10:59 am

Gosh, I am in a class of my own, is that what you're saying?

11:00 am

Half way. I'm going out to pick up my order

11:00 am

I really miss the days of you, fm, and ata and vicuna bantering in the chat.. it was so fun and hysterical

11:00 am

I'm a strategic chatter.

11:00 am

I'll take combo fried rice and an egg roll. Mmm.

11:00 am

We were in Hong Kong once and there was Essence of Toad on the menu

11:00 am

you are right now.. until someone joins you..lol

11:00 am

Haz, you are in a class of your own. : )

11:00 am

I know, ruru, I have very happy memories of those times.

11:00 am

essence of Toad would taste like Newt Gingrich I'd guess

11:01 am

okay - thx guys, now I'm hungery

11:01 am

ah.. a new category .. strategic chatters

11:01 am

I think the chat log is more serious now. We used to go off on flights of fancy. It probably annoyed lots of people but I enjoyed it.

11:02 am

Very little chat in the morning these days. Lots of AM players just lurk now. Sad.

11:02 am

Yes, the strategic chatter chooses his/her moments.

11:02 am

I know.. I get some started and then someone shuts it down..

11:02 am

the other meaning of babble

11:02 am

:)

11:03 am

I used to love picturing Vicuna's children abseiling down to clean the windows and the men in white coats hovering outside FM's door.

11:03 am

I don't get "serious chat". Aren't we all here to have fun?

11:05 am

I think lots of people are here for different reasons, as explained by ruru. Some like to talk about quite personal things - that's never been something I would do, but lots of people feel that it's helpful. Chacun a son gout as they would say in many ca6 in Switzerland.

11:07 am

I guess I can hang with to each his own, until it comes to making bitter comments about people having fun. Then I am lost.

11:07 am

Now waiting for ruru to come back with some remark about people with sore toes.

11:09 am

i say talk about whatever you want - just don't be too vulgar - and most importantly - be kind

11:09 am

I don't mind talking sometimes about personal things..some times is lends validity to the conversation

11:09 am

<---pushes the vulgar limits sometimes..

11:10 am

teehee- it's ok ru - you never forget the be knid part

11:10 am

teehee kind not knid

11:10 am

He's knid sometimes too

11:11 am

I have been forbidden to correct any typos now.. effective 9/27/12..

11:11 am

hi ruru, haz, molly, bichon, smores, and all the lurkerz.

11:11 am

*Opens up The Sensitive Room*

11:11 am

LOLOL

11:11 am

I take it grammar and punctuation are not to be remarked upon either?

11:12 am

once I figure out what knid is .. i'll go with it

11:12 am

tough for you Haz. lol

11:12 am

I just silently correct everyone's typos and grammar.

11:12 am

Well you can Haz, but look out for people to get all crybaby on you.

11:14 am

2:02 pm

See...I'm right about men. You have to get them young and train them right.

2:03 pm

ah.. the way to a woman's heart is through Lasagna

2:03 pm

just like any creature

2:03 pm

hey Ru!

2:03 pm

Depends on the woman. For some women, the way is through the high end jewelry store.

2:03 pm

we all love a man who cooks

2:03 pm

hi hego

2:03 pm

yup.. he made his first major family dinner at the age of 12........... incuding home made bread and pasta sauce and salad dressing from scratch

2:04 pm

th improtand thing is that he CLEANED UP after.. lol. did i do good or chat?

2:04 pm

what?

2:04 pm

WOW!!

2:05 pm

you win the award samsmom -- clean up? wow!

2:05 pm

I'd be happy if mine would just pick up after himself

2:06 pm

unlike his number 34 sister.. who at the age of 14 said she did not want to learn how to cook and would not have to

2:06 pm

i said well, if you get married , who will cook and she said" the cook will cook"

2:07 pm

34 th sister? is he a DUgger?

2:07 pm

brian did great for the 7 years they were married. then i taught her how to cook

2:07 pm

Oh, she was aiming high I see.

2:07 pm

3rd sister that is

2:07 pm

YAY!! halfway!!

2:08 pm

I know a couple of guys who have had to learn to cook because their wives will not.

2:08 pm

her fiance now is a great cook so i have hopes for them-lol

2:08 pm

yeah those guys married jewish american princesses

2:08 pm

Nope, just lazy women : D

2:09 pm

Said wives all have cleaning ladies too.

2:09 pm

i always thought men should be able to do everything in the house because they may have to.. he can even sew and he is a helluva a plumber /electrician/landscaper.

2:09 pm

just found the Hebrew human being. me 6,27

2:10 pm

i alwasy wanted a cleaning lady.. almost had one too, but she got married and moved out

2:10 pm

I agree SMom. And women should know how to fix things and change a tire. You may not always have someone to do things for you.

2:10 pm

Nan, did you find the me7?

2:11 pm

not yet, bea

2:11 pm

SMom! : D

2:11 pm

Bea do you have it?

2:11 pm

would you mind ru dispensing with the jewish american princess comments? they are odious.

2:12 pm

me+3/4 of a lasso + two vowels

2:12 pm

Ru, why don't you just go to the stockade and get it over with. You've had a hellofa week in here.

2:12 pm

I was surpised how much I learnt by just watching my husband. And, when he was alive he did all the sewing machining - and ironing - and I had the cheek to complain about him!!

2:12 pm

tyBea

wow just got a strange phone call - i met a guy while ushering the kenny wayne shepher robert cray concert and he asked the coordinator if i would call him

2:12 pm

ty bea

2:12 pm

and they date you

2:13 pm

Aw Deeha, sounds like a great guy. I bet you miss him a lot.

2:13 pm

3rd se 6/24, please?

2:13 pm

I married one Mab.. I have experience at this

2:14 pm

I do miss him but he was very controlling and I have to admit I am really enjoying making my own decisions and going where I want to go

2:14 pm

29 years today

2:14 pm

lucky you deeha. my husband made a cup of coffee once............... i think it was about 30 years ago

2:14 pm

whatever. it's offensive, as a slur is offensive

2:14 pm

lol Ruru

if you married an african american, dies that allow you to use racial slurs?

2:15 pm

okay.. I'll knock it off.

ty mab for having the balls

2:16 pm

thanks

2:16 pm

is that stockade still available?

2:16 pm

balls??? huh.. if i had balls, I"D be king

2:16 pm

i find that offensive.

2:16 pm

:D

2:16 pm

you're a me6 ru

2:16 pm

Happy Anniversary to Mr. and Mrs. Ru. Doing anything special? (That you can talk about)

2:17 pm

what would you do with them smom?

good

2:17 pm

Ruru is a true Me 6

2:17 pm

*Opens all doors to The Sensitive Room. Puts on zen music and strews rose petals*

2:18 pm

Good evening all.

2:18 pm

*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :)

2:18 pm

Congratulations on your anniversary Ruru

there is senstive and there is righteousness

2:18 pm

congrats Nan

2:18 pm

You're very fortunate too Ruru

2:18 pm

same thing as those who gottem i guess hego.. not much

in this case i am on the side of the latter

2:19 pm

I envy all who are married a long time.

2:19 pm

I would like to aks a question, as a non US person.

2:19 pm

And thank you Ru, for posting that it's your anniversary without adding any Hallmark schmarmy stuff.

2:19 pm

anyone want clues before I leave?

2:19 pm

Could somebody explain why calling soembody a princess is a slur?

2:20 pm

Go for it Glant.

2:20 pm

groan.....

2:20 pm

in this case it means someone who is a spoiled brat

2:20 pm

It's not a slur. All Jewish American Princess indicates is spoiled.

2:20 pm

that's what mrs ru calls herself.. beats me

2:20 pm

Thank you for the explanation Molly.

2:21 pm

back for a bit more

2:21 pm

it is an unattractive stereotype

2:21 pm

and Happy Anniversary Ru and Mrs. Ru

2:21 pm

I am the mom of 2 of them and they enjoy their princess state immensly.

2:22 pm

doesn't look like anyone needs help, so I will be on my way -- back at the flip. hagd everyone and happy anniversary, ruru and mrs. ru

2:22 pm

and remind me of it all the time.

2:22 pm

I think of princess as a positive word, which is why I was confused.

2:22 pm

i guess there is a difference if one is within the tribe.

2:22 pm

tell that to hollywood Mab.. I won't ever say it again though I respect that it bothers people

2:23 pm

sigh..ruru,leave you alone for 10 minutes.here,come on over and proof my first draft..it is safer:)

2:23 pm

the condition is not confined to that particualr tribe, believe me!

2:23 pm

There is a less obvious Jewish community here in the Uk, and much of the nuances escapes me

2:23 pm

Ru, you are going to be down to puppies and kitties by the end of the weekend.

2:24 pm

right Moll.

2:24 pm

i already skin the babies...

2:24 pm

reading back, Hego - 51 years here and still going strong and happier than ever

2:25 pm

51 years..wow congrats flosey

2:25 pm

You're very fortunate to have each other so long Flo.

2:25 pm

thanks crossy

2:25 pm

yes hego, I agree with you there

2:26 pm

a great blessing.

2:26 pm

our 19th is this monday..lol,sounds puny after that:)

2:26 pm

as a Jew I can only tell you that being singled out and called a name is offensive. you wouldn't like it if you were part of a much maligned minority

2:26 pm

I never made it beyond 14 :-(

2:26 pm

but from what you've said in the past crossy, still going strong

2:26 pm

Try being Italian

2:26 pm

Clue for br8

2:26 pm

it is indeed flosey

2:27 pm

I lost my husband after 23 years Glant.

2:27 pm

part of a tree+ 2 vowels

2:27 pm

then you know what I mean hego

2:27 pm

br8 - like a tree limb with 2 vowels on the end

2:27 pm

I am a member of a much maligned minority and so I believe is Galnterell - we are Welsh

2:27 pm

I've learned to ignore it all mab.

2:27 pm

Ty

2:28 pm

good point Dee.

2:28 pm

And everybody knows that Welsh people speak Welsh whenever an English person enters the room, just to be offensive :-)

2:28 pm

hubby is of Welsh stock and is very proud of it Deeha

2:29 pm

I am in awe that anyone can speak Welsh. lol

2:29 pm

i am of welsh stock as well

2:29 pm

I wish I could speak Welsh - I'm not that Welsh - I dont go the whole hog!!!!

2:29 pm

cannot speak a word of it however

2:29 pm

Jewish, Italian, Welsh, Puerto Rican...all groups get their slams. It is an unfortunate way of life. I'm with Hego. Ignoring it is best. And to clarify, I don't think Ru was being a slammer when he made his comment.

2:29 pm

Glant gives lessons

2:29 pm

I can speak enogh to hold conversations but would not describe myself as fluent

2:30 pm

Right Molly

2:30 pm

thousands of years of pogroms and exclusion and hatred are a bit wearing.

2:31 pm

You don't look that old mab.

2:31 pm

lol

2:31 pm

sorry, couldn't resist.

2:31 pm

I think it's better to be proud of your heritage than to take umbrage at those who disparage it.

2:31 pm

I was just thinking the same, hego :-)

2:32 pm

I think the Jewish people are incredibly resilient and should be proud of that

2:32 pm

some of my best friends...

2:32 pm

I knoe Mab... are Welsh!!

2:33 pm

I don't think that is what Glant meant. I took her comment as a compliment.

2:33 pm

i have an italian friend,but he is 3rd generation living here,but he loves it all so and is so patriotic,that it often brings others to respect their own home countries just a tad more just by being around him.it is nice

2:33 pm

My deceased husband was Jewish, so I've spent many years as a member of a Jewish family.

2:33 pm

those who died in the shoa were likely proud Jews (six million, can you conceive of it)

2:34 pm

Even my husband called me a nanny goat!! And a Welsh friend of mine found a blow uip sheep wearing a suspender belt on his doorstep one Christmas!!!

2:34 pm

They have a great sense of humor about who they are and that's hoe they get by.

2:34 pm

Definitely meant as a compliment.

2:34 pm

Now don;t start with the sheep jokes...

2:34 pm

And actually, some of my best friends ARE Jewish and Hego, it's great fun to be included in their family traditions.

2:34 pm

a sheep and a scotsman walk into a bar....

2:34 pm

Ah, yes, the sheep.

2:35 pm

no,best not tell that one

2:35 pm

we have many of those here on our Island, Glant - known for SSI lamb

2:35 pm

Hi hego! I'm just sitting down after lunch to begin the grid. Glad to see you and the other Babblers discussing life today.

2:35 pm

Hi Gran Mere.

2:35 pm

Hiya Honey!

2:35 pm

hi Stidgmere

2:35 pm

I miss you!

2:35 pm

Mmm, salt marsh lamb. Yum!

2:36 pm

Hi flosey didn't see you here!! Hi Molly.

2:36 pm

Does Crossy want to get in trouble too?

2:36 pm

have been in and out, sgm

2:36 pm

my da used to try and feed us lamb as kids.never got the taste for it

2:36 pm

I live near Rye so we all know about salt marsh lamb yum indeed

2:36 pm

hego,i am on the sidelines today.ruru and i switch off days

2:36 pm

I had never eaten it until I met hubby

2:37 pm

You can't be a Brit and not eat lamb.

2:37 pm

lol Crossy

2:37 pm

Lamb is a good with rosemary (which I grow just for that purpose.)

2:37 pm

hego.was born there.do not care for it.sorry:(

2:37 pm

Funny story about the Welsh & sheep. There are more sheep in Wales than people. The European Union started goveng farmers subsidies and then changed the system to pay per head of sheep. Some naughty farmers awere claoming for more sheep than they had. The authorities send planes up to take photos to count the sheep. Farmers made fake shee and ut them in the fields....

2:37 pm

If you havent had a good lamb stew you havent lived!!

2:37 pm

it's terribly expensive here though, oddly enough

2:38 pm

gmere, my mom made it with rosemary also

2:38 pm

it is crazy expensive here

2:38 pm

oh Glant, that is funny - fake sheep

2:38 pm

Lamb is trribly expensive here too, despite it being the most commonly farmed animal

2:38 pm

I like rosemary on new potatoes.

2:39 pm

that sounds interesting Molly, have always used mint here

2:39 pm

I like a little rosemary on salmon just poached in foil in the oven

2:39 pm

I love lamb, but rarely eat it, just can't being myself to pay for lamb chops! Rosemary is good, redcurrant jelly is good, mint sauce is good too.

2:39 pm

also used to use mint

2:39 pm

bachia

2:39 pm

hello Yvo

2:40 pm

Can we change the subject I am on a diet and this is making me hungry!!

2:40 pm

sorry wrong box not a word anyway

2:40 pm

we use garlic and RM

2:40 pm

I was able to make redcurrant jelly this season. Lamb is definitely for festive occasions.

2:40 pm

Changing subject.

2:40 pm

I put dill on salmon.

2:40 pm

lol glant deeha.here a good cut of lamb is roughly twice the cost of a top cut of beef

2:40 pm

So, what shall we talk about now?

2:40 pm

gmere, Billy says Hi

2:41 pm

<---Would rather go vegetarian than eat lamb

2:41 pm

why Molly?

2:41 pm

lol glant.we can dive right into politic and religion

2:41 pm

I can't stand the smell of it.

2:42 pm

Ahh. If you make Cawl - a very traditional Welh dish, you hardly smell it at all...

2:42 pm

Think we have done religion Crossy!!

2:42 pm

now there's a safe topic crossy......not

2:42 pm

it tastes better than it smells

2:42 pm

I'm the same way about venison.

2:42 pm

Tell Billy hi back. Our little orchestra played a concert on the boardwalk (played the piece, too) and it was so Americana!! I looked up Billy's band. Quite famous.

2:42 pm

So we could try money or sex?

2:42 pm

we can talk about nexts years looming bacon shortage

2:43 pm

sounds lovely gmere

2:43 pm

have you bought all the supplies corssy?

2:43 pm

sex is always a good fallback topic

2:43 pm

The bacon shortage reports are a hoax.

2:43 pm

i have indeed glant.put my farmer friend to work

2:43 pm

Seriously, if any of you like/use olive oil, buy it now. there really is a looming olive oil shortage - the spanish crop has failed

2:43 pm

THought no one would ever bring that up!!

2:44 pm

someone said you started the rumor Crossy

2:44 pm

Money is pretty inflamatory. Sex is probably a good choice if weather has been covered. Shirtsleeve day here in the NW.

2:44 pm

They are sayin g they think it may double in price over the next few months, and it's not cheap already

2:44 pm

What kind of shelf life does olive oil have? I always use it up pretty quickly.

2:44 pm

If you keep it in a cool dark place, years and years

2:44 pm

GACK!!!!!! No olive oil!

2:44 pm

bacon shortage!! olive oil!!..arrgh! run!! sky is falling!

2:45 pm

one year Molly

2:45 pm

Thanks Hego and Glant.

2:45 pm

right Crossy

2:45 pm

I am adjusting form ten days of temperatures in the 90s in Cyprus down to Welsh weather of temperatures in the 40s...

2:45 pm

Hadn't heard about olive oil. We use it quite regularly. It smells so lovely.

2:46 pm

Already in the 40's? That is coool.

2:46 pm

The Spanish grow between a third and half of the olives used to make oil

2:46 pm

*Hands Glant a sweater*

2:46 pm

must all be obamas fualt.bet that evil man is stockpiling olive oil for military use!!

2:46 pm

Olive drab, useful for uniforms.

2:47 pm

hehe

2:47 pm

Sorry, messing up my conversions form C to F. My heating came on yesterday, only does that when it hits 59F

2:47 pm

my eyes are beginning to go , need a rest from the screen bbl

2:47 pm

But the sweater is most appreciated and needed

2:47 pm

someone has just planted olive trees here on our island, wonder how they'll do in our climate

2:48 pm

you can drive for miles in eastern Spain and see nothing but olive trees.

2:48 pm

Nowadays the uniforms are so tesalated it is hard to tell what color they are.

2:48 pm

do not worry glant,est of the planet is fluent in metric.we will toss the amarican a conversion chart

2:48 pm

they can't freeze Flo.

2:48 pm

apparently the cold spring and the drought have ruined the crop

2:48 pm

That must be pretty to see, Hego.

2:48 pm

Just say it is cold, or cool, or warm . . . We'll get it.

2:49 pm

yes, I should stop bothering to covert form C to F and let you all work it out for yourselves LOL

2:49 pm

very peaceful

2:49 pm

I was looking at the pomegranate orchards in Cypris last week - really pretty trees with red flowers and giant pink pomegranates

2:50 pm

or do you call then grandines?

2:50 pm

* grenadines

2:50 pm

we call them pomegranates, and that must be a beautiful sight

2:51 pm

must be pretty indeed

2:51 pm

I've seen grenadine syrup in stores, didn't realize what it was

2:51 pm

they are lovely

2:51 pm

Oh hey Mab...if you're still around...American's get slammed here all the time. I just ignore it and consider the source. : )

2:51 pm

when my mother in law used to do her snowbirding,she would go on and on about how she could walk into the back yard and pick an orange or a grapefruit for breakfast

2:51 pm

*grin*

2:52 pm

snowbirding?

2:52 pm

Canadians who go south for the winter

2:52 pm

a term used for canadians who flock south to armer climates for the winter

2:52 pm

went to Florida for the winter

2:52 pm

warmer

2:52 pm

interesting

2:53 pm

migratory canadians - are they a pretty species?

2:53 pm

Half of Canada shows up there in the South

2:53 pm

2:53 pm

They are called snowbirds.

2:53 pm

We put on another sweater (woolie). We pretend nobody has better weather than we do. The whole world is gray for 9 months out of the year.

2:54 pm

2:54 pm

white socks and sandals lol

2:54 pm

We just have more rain than the rest of you. But it keeps our conutryside beautifully green, and we use less moisturiser and grow fewer wrinkles :-)

2:54 pm

yes,socks with sandals.do not forget

2:54 pm

oh crossy, what a picture

2:55 pm

and they always,always drive down in the biggest caddy or old lincon they can find even if they have to use 3 phone books to see over the steering wheel

2:58 pm

When I was a child, it was common for English men to wear a white handkerchief, knotted at all four corners, on their heads if they were caught on a very sunny day and didn;t have a hat woth them. It is a sight to remember LOL

2:58 pm

and pay a zillion dollars for gas!

2:58 pm

When I walk outside, I enjoy the quiet. I don't care to walk and talk.

3:23 pm

I enjoy th quiet too, but I realised in the spring when I went for a walk in the nearby hills, that if I was to hurt muself mI wouldn;t be found for a long time and had no way of calling for help. Mobile phone signal is not reliable

3:23 pm

my typing is terrible tonight

3:23 pm

I understand that Glant. I don't walk in remote places and always have my cell with me.

Take care of yourself, ivesy .... you and he shall remain in my thoughts.

5:52 pm

do you attend al-anon meetings ivesy?

5:52 pm

to6 please

5:52 pm

Deep breaths Ivesy. Deep breaths. Don't let his screw up mess with your health.

5:53 pm

no . non around here. i was in an online support group , a great one. but they went off line. have to find another

5:53 pm

5:53 pm

i know molly. just tears me apart though

5:53 pm

it is so helpful. do you have the literature? i actually have an extra copy of courage to change which I'd be happy to send to you

5:54 pm

Ivesy, Sober 24 at Hazelden and Soberrecovery.com have great on line Anon discussions.

5:54 pm

tyvm moly

5:54 pm

oh ty dorens. i have those. they are great. ty molly will look at those

5:54 pm

think i just got an email from hazelden , will check it out

5:55 pm

it is so hard to let go isn't it Ivesy. We love our kids so much. My prayers for you and your loved ones too.

5:55 pm

and that's that. ty all

5:55 pm

i think online support group can be terrific

5:55 pm

Ivesy, I have run out of sympathy for addicts and alcoholics who can't learn their lesson. But I will never run out of sympathy for the loved ones they hurt.

5:55 pm

http://psychcentral.com/stress/

5:56 pm

very hard to let go, but very hard to love them. i fell the same way molly. i dontn have sympathy for him. i try to tell him. nothing changes, if nothing changes

5:56 pm

only when he's ready ivesy... on his time, on his terms. when you have totally given up on him, that might be the time. might not

5:57 pm

3x in rehab dorens. now on the suboxone which keeps him off hydros. now abuses the suboxone.

5:58 pm

Ivesy, here is something a friend of mine wrote. It's tough, but very true. http://tinyurl.com/9gonhok

5:58 pm

i know. i've seen it. and more. when the time comes, it's his time

5:58 pm

he will always be a drug addict , i dont belive he will ever be a recovering drug addict

5:59 pm

it might happen. i've seen it when all hope had been lost. you just never know. it is truly maddening

5:59 pm

Mayo Clinic: http://tinyurl.com/cbhn2qa

6:00 pm

You have no reason to believe in his recovery Ivesy. Obviously, he doesn't.

6:00 pm

need supper. no one here to make it for me, so i guess that leaves me. later, all

6:01 pm

bye Dorens

6:01 pm

molly, that site piiece was wonderful! so true. i bookmarked it.. it speaks the truth

6:01 pm

ivesy, please remember to make your well-being the first priority.

6:01 pm

Jon wrote that about himself Ivesy. He has been up and down the addiction ladder.

6:02 pm

well, going to go and see if i can eat something. ty all for listening. and your concern. i will try br.

6:02 pm

You are in my prayers Ivesy. I will light a candle for you.

6:03 pm

Please DO, ivesy, not try, DO.

6:07 pm

I truly hate addiction. It is such an awful, destructive thing.

6:08 pm

just popped in before bed, the piece is amazing for it's honesty. prayers and love to you ivesy

6:08 pm

Hi Katie

6:09 pm

hi Molly :0). I'm off to bed now but will keep addicts and more importantly the ones that love them in my prayers

6:10 pm

You are a good soul Katie. Sleep well.

6:14 pm

Sometimes, especially when your own health is in jeopardy, all you can do is say, "There is the door. Don't come back until you are able to manage your affliction."

6:17 pm

It sounds to me like he hasn't found his bottom yet.. and that's the first step to recovery.

6:19 pm

That is true, Ru. And it's very difficult for parents to do the tough love thing. That parent/child bond is very strong. Especially in Ivesy's case.

6:21 pm

it's a difficult tightrope to walk....for parents

phantom bacon!

6:24 pm

I don't recommend tough love to parents of addicts and alcoholics. I know someone who did that with her son, and he commit suicide two weeks later. She will never be the same again.

6:25 pm

yes.. those were my thoughts too Molly. I have seen it too many times going the wrong direction with tough love..depends on the level of addiction.. it's a tough call either way

6:30 pm

bacon?? where??!

6:30 pm

my thoughts and prayers go out to you ivesy in this difficult time of yours

6:31 pm

i think i told you that was also hooked on street drugs many years ago and can relate

6:35 pm

did not know that crossy. I am so glad you were able to make the break

6:37 pm

and i pray ivesy son reaches his point to make the change as well.i had to go pretty low to get to mine

6:39 pm

i actually had to do a locale change in addition to the rest of it,just to make the drugs less available to myself

6:41 pm

I agree crossy. It never works if you try to hang around with the same people and same places.

6:46 pm

finally right column gray, hi all

6:46 pm

i moved 5.5 hour car ride north of the city,quit my high end job,sold my car got a lower end job and lived smaller for 4 years made it almost impossible for myself to get down to the city,knew nobody up north,had zero contacts,work,home,work back to my rooming house,back and forth for 4 years

6:46 pm

yaa for peri

6:46 pm

good for you, crossy

6:46 pm

yay peri.

6:46 pm

:)

6:47 pm

so many addicts return to the same environment which makes it impossible to stay clean

6:47 pm

That sounds pretty grim crossy. Did you meet Mrs Crossy in that time period to brighten things up?

6:48 pm

and it was truly one day at a time,just like AA says.."i will not take drugs..today" and every day is a pearl,every day you say "maybe tomorrow,but not today,and it is another day,another pearl or chip and one day you blink and find you have enough pearls for a necklace.then you move on to the next month

6:49 pm

no,i was fortunate to spare her all of that,i was clean by the time we got together

6:50 pm

i will always be an addict,but i will not take any..today

6:50 pm

An excellent success story crossy - good for you! Glad you are keeping to the program :)

6:51 pm

so you met when it was not a slog any more? it helps people on that path to know that not every day will be a "one foot in front of the other" day.

6:51 pm

bbs

6:51 pm

Hi firefly. bye peri

6:52 pm

actually now that i think about it,it all ende4d at the time my son was born.mrs was in labour,i was still smoking weed and patting myself on the back tyhat i had given the rest up and that this was 'recreational" but the day i first saw my sons face i quit the last of it

6:52 pm

Hi bugsaw

6:52 pm

i must be honest in all of it

6:53 pm

That is a terrific story Crossy. No wonder your boy is so important to you!

6:53 pm

Another good decision crossy - honesty, and integrity, as well as being completely clean

6:53 pm

you must break the time down when quitting any addiction,seconds turn into minutes,minutes into hours and hours into days,weeks, months and years and you are clean

6:55 pm

but each case is unique and i should not "hold forth" about it all

6:55 pm

crossy gets down from the soapbox...

6:56 pm

it is only by sharing our stories that we give each other hope crossy. Thanks for sharing yours.

6:57 pm

if you could do it, maybe our loved ones will do it too

6:57 pm

you are quite welcome bugsaw

6:57 pm

many consider it all 'DRAMA" so i often withhold

6:58 pm

Doesn't sound like drama to me, sounds like life to me.

6:59 pm

i have cancer stories,addiction stories,escaping death stories..i should get me a ghost writer lol ,one without fat fingers like mine

6:59 pm

there are all kinds of opinions reflected here. I try to ignore the ones that don't fit with mine

7:00 pm

I think sharing stories is good, when they teach a lesson. When stories are just complaining, and nothing more, that's not productive.

7:01 pm

agreed

7:01 pm

Stories told in hopes of support are fine too. We all need support some time or another!

7:02 pm

wow! that is pet love! ashow about a woman adopting some pets from overseas from war areas.the cats only know chinese,so she is learning the language so the cats understand her

7:02 pm

Back again, hello crossy, firefly and bugsaw

7:02 pm

howdy jilly

7:02 pm

oh wow, seriously? chinese for cats...

7:02 pm

yup she is taking the full language course

7:03 pm

I agree to a point. Sometimes people complain here because they need support or to test the waters -- is this problem really something to address or not. Not every problem is solved. I get tired of hearing "yes but...." when people are being offered support tho. It tells me they want the problem more than they want support.

7:04 pm

Hi Jillyjill

7:04 pm

yes,some wallow in the misery of it all and the attention

7:05 pm

Not Drama, Crossy. Drama is "woe is me, woe is me" or useless bickering. Your story is just sharing, and I appreciate it.

7:05 pm

hi jilli and all lurkers

7:05 pm

Hi nrkii

7:05 pm

there is a facebook girl like that from australlia..will not say her name,but i have been trying to get her to a dr for months,but she loves self diagnosis

7:05 pm

agree with nrkii

7:06 pm

ty nrkii

7:06 pm

ty, I'll go back to lurking now... ha!

7:06 pm

((nrkii))

7:07 pm

i dislike complainers that are only seeking attention - have to share the bus stop with a mom like that...really? She knows MY story too - you'd think she'd be quiet about her petty problems...LOL

7:07 pm

Empathy is a key. Even those who are perceived as attention seekers may have something going on that is not apparent. Each day is a new opportunity.

7:09 pm

I agree BR. That is why I try not to ignore opinions that don't fit with mine because we all have a right to our opinions.

7:12 pm

We each have our own genes .... we each have a different environment growing up .... we each have our own personalities ... we each have our own way of perceiving the world and deciding our own truths.

7:14 pm

very we4ll put br!

7:14 pm

well

7:15 pm

Some great points BR

7:16 pm

yes,well said

now,back to this bacon supply problem...

7:17 pm

I had bacon last night, plenty here ;)

7:17 pm

As for the grid lacking it, I also found it's lacking an "escape"

7:17 pm

i ordered 30 ponds of maple hicory,20 ounds of apple wood smoked and 20 pounds of lean pealmeal bacon from the farm..not gonna catch ole crossy short!!

7:18 pm

7:18 pm

YUM!

7:18 pm

ponds of bacon... interesting idea

7:18 pm

butcher

7:19 pm

you can translate nrkii..have faith in you

7:19 pm

I got some bacon once, via a pig purchased at the local county fair, and whatever the butcher did to it, he ruined it. The ham too. Tasted awful. Or maybe I'm just so used to store bought, with added whatevers, that the good stuff doesn't taste right...

7:19 pm

u can do it

7:20 pm

not sure I want to... ponds of bacon could have business potential

7:20 pm

lol,crosy swimming in bacon ponds

7:21 pm

what do you mean you "monkeyed it" ?

9:26 pm

It's a term we use when a word is found by working different combos...monkeying it..

9:26 pm

It refers to the idea that if you put a million monkeys in front of typewriters, eventually they will type shakespeare.

9:26 pm

wht has a better definition...

9:27 pm

I think the rejects from the monkeys forms the basis of Enable.

9:28 pm

okay, guess I've been "monkeying around" quite a bit :)

I hope to have around 300 pages in final form when all is done.
