1:04 am

I was just gonna say that, flosey. those two are unwordable in my book

1:05 am

flosey, do not use thread and needles.

1:05 am

yes, use to do that a lot, have even ripped out but un5?

1:06 am

1:14 am

tu6, tu + a **ore, 20 things + **e-haw says the donkey. then plural

1:18 am

ruby, what did the vet say about ruffie?

1:18 am

WTG FLOSEY!!!!

1:18 am

thanks rose - and thanks for the help

1:20 am

how are you doing Peach?

1:20 am

Rufie has a hot spot like last year's, only bigger. The cornstarch did nothing so he's on antibiotics and prednisone again plus (stinging) betadine on the sors. It is too bad because my son has never seen him and p until Sunday, he was the most magnificent dog anybody ever saw

1:22 am

the good news is that I just got John's confirmation number yay

1:22 am

ah, poor Rufie, hope he heals fast ruby

1:22 am

awww poor ruffie. he will be gorgeous again, i'm sure, ruby.

1:22 am

so today is cooking and cleaning my studio and maybe planting some more stuff

1:23 am

he was in such misery last night, that he attacked the baby girl and really scared me.

1:23 am

darn.....where does that extra f come from...r-u-f-i-e

1:23 am

he has alwys been absolutely the most gentle dog with her

1:24 am

poor dear, it is understandable, we, ourselves, feel like lashing out sometimes

1:24 am

our chosen names are very confusing: Ruffino (Rufie), Rafaella (Raffie). hE IS SO BIG THAAT HE COULD EASILY KILL HER

1:24 am

whoops, sorry

1:25 am

wwnted to sasy hello before i pith in with y day

1:25 am

Yesterday my husband got lost trying to fid our halall butcher where he ha been many many times, just not lately

1:25 am

lol, it's okay ruby.we all need to shout sometimes. *grin*

1:25 am

so your son is coming soon?

1:26 am

He came home very embarrassed and i had to go bak there with him

1:26 am

He's coming tomorrow morning, but just staying 'til Monday when he and DIL will tke the trin to Paris

1:26 am

oh, dear. maybe he will remember that the next time he opens his mouth to snarl at you.....

1:27 am

lovely, enjoy ruby

1:27 am

tke* nd train* -- having trouble with the a's

1:27 am

hahaha, rose, do they ever remember these things

1:28 am

no, en route, when I offered to drive because he was so upset, he told me what a terrible driver I was, etc. Very asty. I guess Rufie is definitely his son s far as lashing out!

1:29 am

not so's i notice....himself is always saying i don't listen to him, because i can't remember what he said to me 4 YEARS ago....and yet he can't remember that i said i wanted to go to the bank, 5 MINUTES after we get into the car....

1:29 am

today I will make humus and baba gaoush as side dishes for tomorrow's couscous\I am tryig to think of vegetarian things for DIL

1:29 am

ganoush*

1:30 am

love both of those, haven't made them in ages

1:30 am

have any of you ever had an eggplant explode in the oven?

1:30 am

they are so easy with food processors

1:31 am

no! but have never put one in whole!

1:31 am

ruby, thankfully no, dear, ihave not....mind you, an eggplant has to make it into my oven in the first place...

1:31 am

the first time I did it, I didn't know you had to pierce it

1:32 am

the only way I use eggplant is in Moussaka, and it's sliced and baked first before putting all together

1:32 am

it's like when my mother was a Young bride and had a pressure cooker of spinach explode and distribute spinach throughout her kitchen

1:33 am

I make both humus and baba without tahini which has a taste I don't like It may be less authentic, but it tstes better, at least to me

1:33 am

I remember when the pressure cookers first came out, after WW2, Mom never had it happen but heard a few friends did

1:33 am

hey, whatever works ruby, no recipe is written in stone

1:34 am

I inherited an old one from y grand mother, but never used it except as a pot

My pressure cooker came with a notice to NEVER cook split peas in it - I forgot, and had split peas all over the kitchen!

Never thought of spinach.

1:35 am

I figure, "I'm the cook and it's y kitchen" Selfish nel!

1:35 am

what an image, helens!

1:36 am

wow Helen, bet it never happens a second time

1:36 am

and imagine how dangerous that coud be

I was a yellow kitchen, too - what a sight.

1:37 am

well, I'm off to the coal mines

1:37 am

71 words and that's probably it for the day

1:37 am

71 words and that's probably it for the day

1:37 am

{{big hug, deawr Babble friends)

IT was a fairly modern pressure cooker - circa 1960 - and had a rubber plug that popped, so it can't really be said to have "exploded" - but it sure sounded like it.

1:38 am

frightening indeed

1:38 am

but get to bed, goodnight all be back at flip tomorrow

1:39 am

butg **must** get to bed

1:41 am

Thanks for the hint

7:47 am

you all have been struggling with it since before I arrived so I thought I would help out :-)

7:47 am

TO, you can download Avast for free.

7:47 am

download microsoft security essentials, TO. It's free and it is the best

7:47 am

"san my pc"???

crap. some people are just such...ninnies. that sums it up, you know? ever have anyone whom you just could not figure out?

7:48 am

OK...must take Mom to day care and then I have a ton of work to do! Have a GREAT day everyone! {{hugs}} all around

7:48 am

Phantom: Schlep.

7:48 am

bye car! :)

7:48 am

((Hugs)) Car.

7:48 am

((hugs)) back car.

7:48 am

TO, all the time :-)

7:49 am

who doesn't, TO? ;)

seriously. drugs? alcohol? head trauma? mental issues. not talking about trivial things. odd behavior.

7:49 am

all this in one person?

total lack of socialization. complaining just does not fit in at work. yes, mom

early demtia? depression?

7:50 am

oh no!

7:50 am

halfway, NBT and NBS - time for a break to make breakfast

7:50 am

I'm sorry, that sounds traumatic to deal with

7:51 am

clue for i word please.

7:51 am

I know some one like that and is diagnosised as bipolar

just...odd things. will put the brakes on friendship.

7:51 am

magazines have them, mkg

7:51 am

hello mkg, I don't have it but I will help you look

7:52 am

hi all.

7:52 am

Coult be anything, TO. Aspbergers Syndrome? Who knows.

7:52 am

magazines have lots of things mael................

7:52 am

so do people like TO's friend, come to think of it

7:52 am

is it im or is or ie?

7:52 am

is, in fact

7:52 am

is, mkg

7:52 am

got it, thanks

7:53 am

Thanks, mael.

7:53 am

mkg, go on the diagonal

really, mom? i mean, this is a nice looking man who is a favorite in the social group. but underemployed and really behavior at odds with education

7:53 am

Good morning all.

7:53 am

hello bzzz

7:53 am

trying

7:54 am

got it. everyone has them not just magazines. great clues. ty.

7:54 am

it sounds like he could be on the spectrum, TO. I've known brilliant people who were not socialized and who had a slew of mental problems

7:55 am

can use some u word clues too.

7:55 am

you us** one in your sentence :)

7:55 am

un5/20 - rip out a seam

7:55 am

TO, the person I know is as smart as a whip, has 2 college degrees, can't hold a job because "she knows everything" can be charming but will also turn on you in a heartbeat, very erratic behavior

7:56 am

Of course, everyone here is perfect in every way ... People who live in glass houses ...

7:56 am

got it ty bea

mael, it sounds as if i need to slowly distance myself from this person. i am no longer in the helping field.

7:56 am

absolutely. Full disclosure, my ex-boyfriend was like that. Brilliant man, but completely off the rails and refusing to get help. I know how hard it is.

7:56 am

morning BR, I for one am not perfect. I am one flawed character :-)

7:57 am

un+ walk in lock ****

7:57 am

Interesting, Mom. Scrabbs was talking about "Narcissistic Personality Disorder" the other day. Sounds familiar.

7:57 am

what is a NPD?

7:57 am

lock what mael?

judi i think it is more. i want to help him but i think that cordiality when in group is where it should stop.

7:58 am

when you climb the stairs you **** up

7:58 am

sorry, I'm terrible this morning at clues

7:58 am

climb.......................

7:59 am

you walk up. not getting it.

7:59 am

un + st 4/5

putting one foot in front of another is you taking a ****

don't want to label him, just want to decide what to do

7:59 am

got it. ty

7:59 am

just found the 9!!!!!

stats for the 9, movieman? :)

8:00 am

Hi movieman, please do share

yay mm!

8:00 am

ch8/9 combo mael

8:00 am

I think you can, in good conscience, tell him you're concerned and that you think he should seek therapy, and then it's out of your hands, TO.

8:01 am

oh, duh, thanks movieman!!

8:01 am

got a ch 7/8 combo

8:01 am

yvw

don't want to be hurtful. will be supportive and cordial while keeping a distance

8:01 am

8:02 am

thanks for all the ch clues ... thanks Movieman and MKG

8:02 am

yw mom

8:03 am

and with that I will go. ((Hugs)) to all of you. ((BR... I am sorry if I offended you, I didn't mean to))

8:03 am

it is supportive, though, sometimes people just down realize how problematic their behaviour is until a friend tells them. You don't need to be accusatory, just matter of fact. And then feel free to pull away to a cordial level of interaction

8:03 am

bye Mom :)

8:03 am

hello, hello, diane! and crossy, and mrlose, et al!

11:21 am

11:21 am

11:50 am

11:50 am

11:50 am

I just finished the last of my planting. What job, even with someone to help

11:51 am

ps4 ... (i found the lower p)

11:51 am

the other sounds like a slang word for vomiting

11:51 am

ps4 no vowels

11:51 am

lol@ planting.we had flurries this morn

11:51 am

And my son is sort of on the way; he and his wife are on standby at Dulles on United

11:51 am

got the ps ty

11:51 am

I can see Dulles from where i am. :)

11:51 am

hi, ruby

11:51 am

yw, mlf

11:52 am

everyone tells me it's too early, but I wanted the garden to look beautiful for my boy. It doesn't, quite, but it's better than a week ago

11:52 am

and planes are taking off over the house today, and takeoffs are much louder than landings here.

11:52 am

anybody have stats for the i?

11:52 am

they stayed at a Marriott last night, probably near to you, too

11:52 am

is5.12

11:53 am

that would be the Dulles Airport Marriott i'm guessing. I think that's the only one in this vicinity.

11:53 am

duhh ty seain

11:53 am

nbt and nbs

11:53 am

if they don't get on the plane, I'll have enough food in the house to feed an army!

11:53 am

the straight-line ones are often the least obvious, at least when they don't jump out at you.

11:54 am

that's not so useful -- not many armies sweeping across Europe these days :)

11:54 am

i heard on the news this AM controllers jobs are being cut so its delaying flights everywhere

11:54 am

i have a deaf friend who has a place in a subdivison that was built before the airport expansion.he had a friend who could hear do the initial look through and early offers and he got the place for a song.does not bother him in the slightest though they are supposed to use noise abatement procedures and throttle back a bit on takeoff over the places,but if i were a pilot i would not be chopping back a 1/3 of my power either

11:55 am

i have actually greyed 7

11:56 am

indeed so, mlf re air traffic controllers. Idiocy these measures.

11:57 am

i've lived most of my life on the flight paths of Washington National and/or Dulles.

11:57 am

too high a burn out rate for controllers as it is for them to be chopping back on them:(

11:58 am

i ahve heard of dulles.it is famous even here.or infamous rather

11:58 am

23 words left but as they're just a little of this and a little of that, I'm going to call it a night

11:59 am

22

11:59 am

yaa for ruby!! you can do it!

12:00 pm

it's funny just when I look away I see words.....

12:00 pm

Dulles (IAD/KIAD) is a decent airport. And in 5 or 6 years Washington Metro will have a station there, as phase two of the Silver Line has been funded and bid out.

12:00 pm

21

12:00 pm

cool

12:00 pm

our peripheral vision is rather amazing like that.

12:01 pm

our Toront airport or pearson or whatever you call it is generally a disaster

12:01 pm

20 hahah

12:01 pm

toronto

12:01 pm

many choose porter airlines off the island now

12:03 pm

I've heard that Pearson is better than Denver, but that's not hard to do. And may you never have to change planes at Atlanta-Hartsfield.

12:03 pm

or save and go as a group in a private 12 seater executive jet from the local regional airport.now that is flying in style.no lineup nothing just show up make sure you have all your paperwork and breeze right onto the plane

12:05 pm

That is a lovely way to travel indeed, crossy.

12:05 pm

add 3-400 each for the cost of the trip,but ohhh so worth it

12:05 pm

oh boy, crossy, that sounds wonderful!

12:06 pm

19

12:06 pm

lots of leg room,comfy seats and one steward/stewardess waiting on your every need

12:07 pm

the last time I flew, it was from London City to Geneva on an Embraer [?] jet and it was almost like that. Very small and comfortable

12:08 pm

always go with the smaller carriers.i find the big one air canada esp,treat you like cattle unless you are going first class

12:09 pm

business clas it not too bad though

12:09 pm

yes, the smaller the carrier usually the nicer the experience. I loved America West and Alaskan Air while they lasted.

12:10 pm

I loved PanAm when I used my biz travel miles to upgrade to first. Those were the days

12:10 pm

Yes they were. PanAm and the old Northwest Orient were both quite nice.

12:10 pm

i ma says the old BOAC did a good job as well

12:11 pm

my da*

12:11 pm

I used to fly to Minneapolis from NY once a month and loved Northwest with their Flying Colors

12:12 pm

i used to take NW from DC to Cleveland several times a year.

12:12 pm

boac was what we flew on when we came to canada,but they are long gone now

12:12 pm

I don't like flying any more

12:12 pm

flying is fine,it is just the landing that sometimes hurts;)

12:13 pm

but like they say,any landing you can walk away from is a good one

12:13 pm

my all-time best flying experience was on South African Airways from London to Johannesburg during a meteor shower and the pilot let me sit on the floor in the cockpit to Watch the display. Naturally, it was long before 9/11

12:14 pm

wow! that must of been amazing,ruby

12:14 pm

yes,now we are lucky they do not strap us down on top of the plane with bungee cords;/

12:15 pm

Wow ruby, hope your book includes pictures :)

12:15 pm

what I never knew before that was that meteors are orange, green and violet, not the white we see from the ground and there were thousands

12:16 pm

do I have to name names, too, Chrissie?

12:16 pm

Did you used to live in the UK ruby?

12:16 pm

we had a large meteor shower here in fall of 1993,just before our sun was born,ruby and we were lucky enough to see all those colours as well

12:16 pm

son

12:16 pm

only for one 5 month period

12:16 pm

No, no names necessary, but heavy hints should be included

12:17 pm

no kidding, crossy, I didn't know that. You must have wonderful clear skies

12:17 pm

do i have to tell what instruments they played or books they wrote?

12:17 pm

17!

12:17 pm

we get lucky sometimes.we missed the one the other night due to cloud cover

12:18 pm

Lovely memory crossy

12:18 pm

there is way too much ambient light here to ever see anything much except jet trails from Geneva airport

12:19 pm

inded chrissie,was a warm night and we walked down to the beach,my beloved was about 4-5 month along and we found a good spot overlooking the water and a clear sightline and there was a large overturned row boat on the shore.i laid out our blanket and we lay down on our back and looking up at the night sky while holding hands we watched the show for hours

12:20 pm

that is the secret ruby,in the boonies where we were there was no ambient light at all

12:21 pm

laid on top of the boat that is,so my beloved did not get sand in her hair

12:21 pm

what a lovely memory crossy

12:21 pm

lol,my memory is like a seive,but what stick are the good things

12:23 pm

that is why i play this game,to keep what is left of my grey matter running:)

12:23 pm

Crossy, you've made my hair stand on end and my eyes fill up, that's so beautiful

12:23 pm

I give up but thanks for that story, crossy.

12:24 pm

aww,tyvm chrissie

12:24 pm

me, too, Chrissie!

12:25 pm

had the beach all to ourselves.was very special time

12:26 pm

that was when she still had all her vision as well and her eye disease had yet to show it's ugly head

12:27 pm

Just popped in for a few minutes, leaving again now, tc ruby and crossy

12:27 pm

tc chrissie

12:49 pm

mi 6/24= not mr

12:50 pm

which ought end in -tress as i was taught. The spelling here is dialectal and not appropriate as i was taught, unless writing in dialect. Yay for Southern educations.

12:51 pm

"lol,we will not even get into the deep south word varriants

12:52 pm

like" ustacould" as in "i an no longer play the pianna,but i ustacould";))

12:53 pm

but then again we say EH a lot,though not quite as much as many are led to think

12:54 pm

too many american were scarred by second city tv back in the day and we never recovered eh?

12:56 pm

as least we not longer get too many southern plates up here in july asking where the ski hill is with a rack of skis on top of the ole vw microbus

12:58 pm

and no longer do we get them coming in and asking where the pump is that dispenses fuel in gallons..after 30 years in the fuel business i could fill a book with stuff just like that

12:58 pm

mm,should stop talking to myself..oh heck with it,at least i will never be lonely

1:00 pm

i will call the book"tales from the dark side of the gas pump" or "gas jockeys,their nozzles and how they use them"

1:07 pm

1:08 pm

PS 4/5

2:26 pm

Yorkshire and Lincolnshire are dear to my heart.

I've just done the vacuuming and set up the bread dough... taking a few moments to relax !

Grandad was born near Halifax and grew up in the village of Luddenden.... Grandma was from Bishopton

2:33 pm

2:35 pm

I have never been to Canada either and ditto :-(

very bad knees.... getting "old" LOL ... but who knows ?? Hubby has no desire to travel there, but maybe one of my globe-trotting granddaughters will go with me one day, IF I get myself feeling better !!

2:35 pm

I'm 66 and will be walking up and down the hills.

hurrah for bichon !! Walk a hill or two for me, will you ?? :-)

2:37 pm

I'm almost 73 and probably could have done it 7 or so years ago.

2:38 pm

I am going to enjoy my visit very much thank you

2:38 pm

At 73 I doubt I would do this kind of trip.

2:38 pm

2:57 pm

7:11 pm

it's pretty close to that gremlin

7:15 pm

A putsch is a coup. I think coup sounds more covert. Putsch sounds, well, putzy.

7:27 pm

Putsch sounds like a Russian Stew
