1:02 am

Ive been running into problems with people I thought were friends and turns out they arnt as well as the rest of my problems--:(

1:04 am

I hate that when that happens pugs

1:04 am

it makes me feel like such a dummy not noticing it before

1:05 am

same with me Ru

1:05 am

but it is good to learn, even though hard to take at the time

so very sorry to read of your challenge pug; I feel like ru, and I am sorry I didn't notice before now (((pugs)))

1:07 am

it is Flosey and thanks Dee--hope all is well with you

hopefully, all of our troublesome issues will pass quickly... like the blink of an eye :)

1:08 am

Iam sure it will--just a matter of time--lol

2 of my classmates from high school died last week... put some "stuff" into perspective for me.

1:09 am

1:09 am

imagine how free you will be sooner or later pugs.. that's my mantra

3:14 am

hehehe poor you.

3:14 am

roflol, sprite a squirrel would be most welcome.

3:14 am

well dont feel bad Rose, my housework is stacking up too

3:14 am

But you don't have to do it all today!

3:14 am

there's one on your wrist, grin

3:15 am

if it can help with cleaning I want one too-lol

3:15 am

back again!!! Morning pugs hunny (((((hugs)))) xxx

3:15 am

housework is secondary. We are all together again, that is what counts.

3:15 am

you got coffee, pugs, grin. Works better than squirrels.

3:15 am

Hi worz :)

3:15 am

hugs Mr Wor! how are you friend

3:15 am

we've watched Mr Pip, with hugh laurie and The Descendants with george clooney. both quite moving for different reasons.

3:16 am

I would like a magic wand-lol

3:16 am

i'm very well ms pugs but more importantly how are you? xx

3:16 am

Don't know either movie

3:16 am

lovely, rose. Very good for both of you. Relax and enjoy.

3:17 am

Phantom triskaidekaphobia

3:17 am

But relaxing, watching movies is far more fun than housework.

3:17 am

Iam doing okay Wor, thanks---baby steps-lol much like everyone else here. Thanks for the emails Wor

3:18 am

yw - it's good to keep in touch and it's so good to hear your coping ok xxxxxx

3:19 am

lol my son came home late last night (or rather early this morning), drunk as a skunk, dropped down on the couch and is still sleeping right there. Fully dressed, feet still in shoes, draped over the armrest.

3:19 am

did you get rid of your bug problem? Wor

3:19 am

pugs, we all expect a detailed email please. not pushing you at all, but yesterday would have been great.

3:19 am

lol rose :)

3:19 am

lol Rose---I get it

3:19 am

oh lord, sprite. get the hangover cure ready...

3:20 am

D'you know I thought it was bug bites but it turned out to be an outbreak of psoriasis. Doctor gave me some real strong antihistamines and other stuff. It cleared a lot of it but it's coming back again and apparently it's induced by stress so I'm going back for a stronger zap by the doctor on Tuesday - fingers crossed!

3:20 am

not me, rose. If he is man enough to drink too much, he is on his own coping with the results.

3:20 am

Yay for Rose. Straight to the point!

3:21 am

psoriasis isn't a temporal disease, alas, worzel.

3:22 am

with work, house up keep and yard and campground care my hours are not enough

3:22 am

worzel...psoriasis is a blood disorder... its not an allergy

3:22 am

well according to my doctor it is just an outburst, but like you say I too believe it is a permanent thing - once you have it you have it forever. Still, let's hope, eh?

3:22 am

no, I bet, pug. That is way too much.

3:23 am

Hi rolin

3:23 am

whoot!!! g'day rolin

3:23 am

Hi Ro

3:23 am

Wor for someone who never visits the doctor, you sure seem to be going alot--lol

3:23 am

hi ro :)

3:23 am

hey all..

3:24 am

hi rolin x

3:24 am

Hi rolin, Hi Liz, Hi all

3:24 am

Hi Demi

3:24 am

my husband has psoriasis. It can be made worse by stress. But antihistamines? Nope.

3:24 am

Hi demi

3:25 am

hello demi!

3:25 am

sorry didnt mean antihistamines meant antibiotics

3:25 am

kl

3:25 am

hey demi...

3:26 am

Sprite, the last I talked to you, you were into deep cleaning of your room--did you get it finished

3:26 am

I was quite healthy down south! I went to the dr twice in 23 years between the ages of 16 and 39 and in the last 18 months I've been to the doctors 12 times and been hospitalised twice. Must be the northern air lol

3:26 am

but again... psoriasis is not bacterial...

3:26 am

hi all ltns

3:26 am

sorry about that. As you can see I am working on that rotten K tile.

3:26 am

hi pink!

3:27 am

Hey Pink, great to see you too

3:27 am

Hi pink

3:27 am

sprite pugs liz darlings

3:27 am

I know Wor! Sounds like aging to me--lol

3:27 am

not finished, pugs, but it is a totally different room now. We will continue the project soon. Working through old papers,mostly.

3:28 am

yayayayay!! pink....pink.....pink.....

3:28 am

hi dear rose

3:28 am

antibiotics don't make sense either. Ointments with hormones, maybe.

3:28 am

whats new here

3:28 am

that must make you feel good though, Sprite--yeah for you

3:28 am

*hugs pink* How have you been?

3:29 am

antibiotics do work because it can be exacerbated by environmental issues. It doesn't cure the actual cause - i.e the T blood cell disorder, but it does clear the secondary effect i.e the skin lesions

3:29 am

been ok just trying to sleep more at night miss seeing u fine folks

3:29 am

it sure does, pugs :D So much space around me again. So much thrown out. It feels like starting over fresh :D

3:29 am

not a lot, pink. we are all still silly as wheels....lol

3:29 am

silly is goooood

3:30 am

Very good

3:30 am

speak for yourself, rose, hmph! I am not silly. I am a police light. Blue! Blue!

3:30 am

lol the silliest yet

3:30 am

but sleeping at night is a good thing, pink.

3:30 am

3:31 am

it has been better

3:31 am

3:56 am

Zoom, how is school going

3:57 am

thanks pugs :) Took a lot of work but the results are worth it.

3:57 am

Yes there is somethng therapeutic in cooking.Especially when people enjoy your efforts too!

3:57 am

yeah :)

3:57 am

do you cook Zoom

3:57 am

Urggh hating it, Pugs.Still plodding on. I am on ratios & percentages at the moment :-(

3:58 am

No, Pugs. I am a chef by trade but I have not worked since 2009 and I have also not cooked since that time either.

3:58 am

well give yourself a pat for hanging in there and not quiting Zoom! Proud of you, I am

3:59 am

*hugs zooz* You are a true hero, my friend.

3:59 am

Thanks, Pugs. I find math boring but essential too..lol

3:59 am

I have been meaning to ask... did you make an appt with the medical centre yet?

4:00 am

you will get it Zoom---you are very smart

4:00 am

who Sprite

4:00 am

I have, Sprite.Awaiting a response from them.

4:00 am

zooz, for the appt, pugs.

4:00 am

awesome, zooz. Well done.

4:01 am

I am not holding out any hopes, Sprite.But we will see..lol

4:02 am

as long as you don't settle for someone who doesn't click with you, zooz... you are entitled to help that will benefit you.

4:03 am

I won't settle for anyone who I don't click with.That is where the I will see comes in.I am rather fussy whom I open up to with personal feelings..lol

4:04 am

that is ok, zooz. Your personal feelings are vulnerable and precious. You should have someone you feel ok with.

4:04 am

I need to bow out--got lots to do--love and bye to you all and wish you all the best of all thats good in the world :) hugs by the thousands

4:05 am

Take care, Puglet.Hope you get everything done you got set out for you today :-)

Nice to hear, Sprite!

4:10 am

I do LOL.I think we are all used to Rose going off and having a quick blast at jigidi and back again..lol

4:12 am

*grin* Too true. And rose, don't just sit there... answer zooz!

4:12 am

zooz, i doing okay, mate. hope to have another go at all the paperwork tomorrow.

4:12 am

I must admit When the chat is slow I will often go off and do a sudoku or puzzle.

4:13 am

In fact I have now nearly completed the whole of 2006 sudoku!

4:13 am

wow, well done, zooz!

4:13 am

Yes I can see how that would be over bearing, Rose.I hope you can get through it all without tearing all your hair out!

4:14 am

rose, in your pace and only for as long as you can handle. Don't let anyone rush you.

4:14 am

I odten find it hard to understand the leagal written language.It can be very daunting trying to understand exactly what they mean..lol

it isn't good for our rose. One part makes her focus on the way work is treating her, which makes her feel bad. And the other part makes her focus on her handicaps, which makes her feel bad too. It is a rotten job.

4:16 am

good thinking, rose!

4:16 am

Can the union rep not help you with all the paperwork, Rose?

4:17 am

back, ids.

4:17 am

not the social services stuff, zooz. just the workcover stuff. and that's not so bad.

4:17 am

Hello, Ruby :-)

4:17 am

elcome ack, uby!

4:17 am

I made ggazpacho on Thursday and it was wonderful, if anyone wants the recipe.

4:17 am

lol

4:18 am

hahah, sprite

4:18 am

roflol, sprite. wb ruby...naughty sprite....

4:18 am

;)

4:18 am

sprite is a tease, but I like it

4:18 am

I only tease people I like a lot, to be honest

4:19 am

and I can only take teasing from people I like a lot, so there! lol

4:19 am

Ruby, We once served gazpacho soup at the hotel where I once worked.And a customer complained and sent the soup back saying it was cold LOL

4:19 am

hehehe we're good, ruby!

4:19 am

roflolllll zooz! Omg that is bad.

4:20 am

fireflies. Pfui, tough one.

4:20 am

when they make it in France, it's yucky. Mine is in the style of Madrid bbut is basically original with me. The recipe looks complicated, but it really isn't so bad IF you have a blender or food processor

4:20 am

The customer AND the waitress went rather red faced when explained it is supposed to be..Teehee!

4:20 am

WTG SPRITE!!!

4:20 am

Congrats, Sprite!

4:21 am

ruby is a great cook

4:21 am

they put avocado in it here and it's thin and bland. Mine is very garlicky and a little bit spicy

4:21 am

oh I bet, zooz! Tough one to explain to a customer.

4:21 am

Ruby is indeed!

4:21 am

ty, sprite, unfortunately, only now and then

4:22 am

Agreed, Sprite.But I always say the waitress/waiter also should know what is in the food we cooked .And how it is made.

4:22 am

am off to get some stuff done here. *hugs* to you, my friends. And to all a blessed day and a peaceful night.

4:22 am

{{sprite}}

4:23 am

Nice to see you, sprite.Have a great day!

4:23 am

sprite, you should see the studio!

4:23 am

*pops back in* What about the studio?

4:23 am

It is clean and emptied of more than 200 lbs of paper!

4:24 am

oh wow ruby! Awesome! More breathing space :) *poof*

4:25 am

(sprite saw hw bad it was but was too nice to say OMG)

4:26 am

Did you shred your paperwork, Ruby or just throw it in the bin?

4:26 am

just threw it out

4:27 am

I didn't throw away much incriminating stuff

4:28 am

I had a ton of very old paperwork to throw and decided I would shred it all.I was there for over an hour shredding it all.Should of just taken it into the garden and set fire to it.Would of been much quicker and less boring..lol

4:29 am

Although that was over a year ago now..lol

4:29 am

Thankfully I have kept on top of it since.

4:29 am

now if I an keep from accumulating more.....

4:29 am

6:48 am

I keep giving one more glance at the grid and seeing just one ... more ... leetle ... word

6:54 am

Hard to focus and prevent peripheral sight at the same time but 183 is enough, especially since it's the weekend. Truly poofing awaaaaaaay...

I can be more obvious if you'd like.

7:23 am

7:23 am

hi ibd

7:23 am

Hi lbd

7:24 am

actually liz i think i know the first 4 letts but the last 4 i am not getting

7:24 am

OK - so do 8 - a place for ships + not the sea

7:25 am

is it boon****?

7:26 am

I think so! + I originally come from Eng****

7:27 am

ah ty lizin i couldnt figure out the last part of that

7:27 am

yvw

7:28 am

It's a British word for the area around a port. That is my "learn something new today"

7:28 am

cool

7:28 am

I didn't realise the word was Brit specific.

7:28 am

i didnt either

7:29 am

Who knows, that is what the dictionary says

7:29 am

aa clue please?

7:30 am

never mind

7:31 am

7:34 am

AF 6/7?

7:35 am

7:36 am

If someone is not in prison, then they are ****

7:36 am

never mind

7:36 am

ty lizin i figured it out:)

7:36 am

Sorry if clues not clear - been a tiring day!

7:37 am

Brain getting blurry - well, more blurry than usual!

7:37 am

lol lizin i am not awake yet

7:38 am

lizin i just didnt understand what you meant by that part of the clue it was actually a good clue if i had used my brain a little better:)

7:38 am

Got a very busy day tomorrow, so trying to get as much done tonight as possible.

7:39 am

lizin sounds like fun

7:40 am

No it's not a particularly fun day unfortunately - cleaning, a memorial service and then a meeting.

7:40 am

uggh terrible

7:41 am

Meeting's an AGM - suspect it'll be very boring!

7:41 am

AGM?

7:42 am

Annual General Meeting - of my synagogue. Sort of a duty thing to go, showing support.

7:42 am

ohh:)

7:43 am

<---Had no clue about AGM either

7:44 am

I'm surprised - used in Aus and Britain - for official bodies. Election of officers etc.

7:44 am

Here is my take on duty things that you go to, to show your support. They should not be long and boring.

7:44 am

pa6?

7:44 am

True but it's a small community and so I go and put up with it!

7:44 am

i agree molly they should be fun and informative

7:45 am

Sorry don't have it.

plural of that thing above your tongue MLF

7:45 am

small should be relaxing

7:45 am

Sometimes people just like to hear the sound of their voices!

7:45 am

Thanks, surra.

7:45 am

ty sugrr

:)

7:46 am

You are so right about that, Liz

7:46 am

Small sometimes means contentious - especially if there are egos involved!

7:46 am

But I'll come home to babble and that will relax!

7:46 am

Ugh, I suggest several drinks before attending

7:47 am

lizin isnt that what meetings are really for? so people can run their mouths lol

7:47 am

Good idea but have a 30 min drive!

7:47 am

So I guess the drinks will have to wait!

morning...no idea on last st6 and st7.

7:47 am

give them the alcohol right before the meeting starts lol

7:48 am

Good morning people, nice big grid for a Saturday

7:48 am

Ah drinks for them! No, i wouldn't waste it on some of them!

7:48 am

RH - kind of monkey

7:53 am

Forgot about the monkey!

7:53 am

Here's a good one. Smaller baby showers for Mom's of second or third babies are now being referred to as "sprinkles". Sorry, but that is a little too goofy for me.

7:54 am

Definitely goofy!

7:54 am

does it extend from the rh4/6?

7:54 am

ty for rh monkey:)

7:54 am

Hi crossy.

7:54 am

howdy, sukee

7:54 am

How is the monkey word a blood type word?

7:54 am

Hi Crossy

7:54 am

sprinkles? makes no sense

7:55 am

hi cross

7:55 am

rh 6 negative describes a blood condition - blue blood babies

7:55 am

never said it was. Just thanking sukee for the clue anyways. already had the blood

7:55 am

hoiwdy mlf

7:55 am

My question was for Liz

7:56 am

The RH comes from the name of the monkey.

7:56 am

ahh, I see...

7:56 am

I just thought about the blood type - forgot about the monkey.

7:56 am

and i thank you for it sukee:)

7:56 am

Thank you folks, I never knew that is where the RH in RH factor came from.

7:56 am

lol. going to be an interesting grid:)

7:57 am

And I also thank Sukee for reminding me of the monkey

7:57 am

It just popped out at me :)

7:59 am

8:00 am

Rhymes with Reeces

i, car

8:58 am

thanks for the grin, crossy - gotta be an oldie, say 20 years back when there were still newspapers ...

8:58 am

and people knew how to write whole sentences with fully spelled-out words

8:59 am

lol

8:59 am

oops - no critique of "lol"ling

9:00 am

lol. omf.. and other fun grunting words for net-speak

9:01 am

give it another 50 years and when we are all not on computers, we shall be banging rocks together to communicate face to face:)

9:02 am

:)

9:03 am

Here's a riddle back atcha/ How can you tell the difference between a chemist and a plumber?

9:03 am

the plumber makes more per hour

9:05 am

good try. But Ask them to pronounce "U-N-I-O-N-I-Z-E-D

9:05 am

do not get me going on unions:)

9:05 am

Oh, I like that one!

9:05 am

try the chemist's pronunciation - you'll feel better

9:06 am

yes, much better

9:07 am

oh duh that took me ages to figure out - very clever

9:07 am

Whee...less than 100 to go!

9:08 am

ursh, that's just because when babbling one does not sound out the words

9:09 am

Up here the darn unions win the battle but lose the war by bleeding large companies dry with labour disputes so that , in the end the company in question just closes its doors and moves to mexico, leaving a empty building where there used to be jobs... ok, rant done

9:09 am

it is cute indeed, jwr

9:10 am

yaaa for car!!

lots of long absent babblets today

9:11 am

rant post-script: there is no longer any discernable difference between union and corporate leaders.

9:12 am

mm, yes, food for thought

9:12 am

Good morning, all. It's Saturday, and the weather is swampy!

9:12 am

howdy ((judi))

hi, judy.

9:12 am

<--- hands Judi a fan and mint julep...

9:12 am

Good morning Judi

9:14 am

Gracious sakes, I am perspirin'.

9:14 am

ok. Time to stop thinking and play. I'm off when I reach 200, seven to go - gotta leave some weekend room just in case the next grid is a shorty.

9:15 am

No, honey, you are per-spirin'

9:15 am

That too, car!

at an outdoor gathering last night and only lasted two hours. hot hot hot and humid.

9:17 am

Yuck

9:17 am

Yep. This is the weather we usually get in August.

yet thursday ight was heavenly...just the right amount of sultry. i enjoyed it, might be the last of the year

9:19 am

I am loving the 17c and overcast today. Good day for a hike later on.

9:21 am

hi all, and me too Crossy - this cool/overcast is very pleasant after the humidity of yesterday

9:21 am

Hi Flosey

9:21 am

(9flosey)) how are you today?

9:22 am

Pffth. Canadians. Tell me how much you love it when you're shovelling your way out of 2 feet of snow.

9:22 am

the storm last night was exciting - we seldom have lightning/thunder

9:22 am

bring it on. I cannot wait for the snow. I have my snowshoes all ready to go and the jeep is raring to climb through the snowy hills

9:23 am

yes, that was a dandy storm. it rattled the windows

how are you feeling, flosey?

9:23 am

great thanks crossy, today is our "cousins reunion" - looking forward to seeing cousins I haven't seen in many years

9:24 am

great thanks TO, and you?

9:24 am

lol,Judi. I DRIVE over 2 feet of snow now:))

9:24 am

Ha ha. Yes, how could I forget? Oh, master of the Jeep.

9:24 am

Actually, I do too with my Subaru.

9:24 am

yes, all hail the Jeep

9:25 am

Subaru make fine cars as well

9:25 am

I"m lovin mine.

9:26 am

I took a long look at the Outback Sport model when I was shopping

9:27 am

I feel bad for by BIL. He just crashed his Outback a few weeks ago - while in the Adirondacks. He passed out while driving and hit a telephone pole. Fortunately, low speed and he was not injured. The Subaru, however, is getting a makeover.

9:27 am

OK...left column grayed. Time to mow the lawn. HAGD everyone! {{group}}

9:28 am

What caused him to pass out?

9:29 am

Unknown medical issue. Tests all came back normal. I think he just had a low blood sugar moment. Was on his way to Dunkin Donuts.

9:29 am

borderline diabetic?

9:29 am

I told him his story was really boring. I said you should have told people you hit a bear or a moose while in the Adirondacks. A telephone pole is just so pedestrian.

9:30 am

No, diabetic issues. He's healthy as a horse. Don't know if it was a medication issue or just some weird neurological thing. He still waiting for some test results from his doc in CT.

9:31 am

yes, passed out, went into a ravine and spent three days clawing your way out of the bush, subsisting on raw fish and berries and sleeping under the stars...

9:31 am

... while fighting off wolves...

9:31 am

of course, we cannot forget the wolves

9:31 am

Well, we can't all be fiction writers.

9:31 am

He can train them to hunt for him

9:32 am

The Wolf Whisperer

9:32 am

Alas, most Dunkin Donuts' are not located near wilderness ravines.

9:33 am

I am sure a Wal-mart will soon be...

9:33 am

once they plow under that pesky nature that keeps getting in the way

9:33 am

Pffth. Wal-mart sucks.

9:34 am

Most in this area avoid them like the plague

9:34 am

of course we have had to live with them for less years than you have

9:35 am

I despise Wal-mart for the way they treat their employees and all the crap they import from China - which is about 99%.

9:36 am

I think of them as a leech on a healthy body. the attach thenshelves and bleed dry small business and when there is nothing left, they detach themselves and leave the dried out husk

9:37 am

Such is life in our free market society. I try to shop local as much as possible. Trying more and more to find things made in the USA and by friendly allies.

9:38 am

yes, support small mom and pop stores

9:39 am

so true Judi, we need to support our own economy first

9:40 am

love the mom & pop stores, almost a thing of the past

9:40 am

Time for breakfast. I'm down to 168 words. Actually found all the U's!

9:41 am

wtg Judi

9:41 am

yaaa for judi!

9:42 am

I couldn't settle down last night - humidity, so managed to get a good start on this grid - slept until 8:30

9:42 am

I couldn't settle down last night - humidity, so managed to get a good start on this grid - slept until 8:30

9:42 am

oh dear, sorry

9:43 am

I was up at 06:45. could not sleep in for the life of me.

9:43 am

isn't that maddening

9:44 am

it is ok. The afternoon power nap will be that much sweeter:)

9:45 am

ah, I think our afternoon gathering is going to be quite a noisy affair - everyone with old memories to share, etc

9:45 am

I get more real, deep sleep between the yours of 1pm and 2:30 pm than i do by sleeping all night lol

9:45 am

Sounds like a good time shall be had by all

9:45 am

hours

9:45 am

wow, great when you can take advantage of that

9:47 am

ah crossy, daughter put our wedding pic in FB on our 50th anniversary - heard from a cousin I hadn't seen in 30+/- years

9:48 am

100

9:49 am

very nice! the big 5-0!

9:49 am

well done curi

9:49 am

Hello, everyone! Hey, I'm not good at sleeping ANY time and wish I could do so, especially since I am not back in afib again...the ticker just won't behave.

9:49 am

that was 3 years ago, crossy

9:49 am

(9mimi))

9:49 am

naughty ticker

9:49 am

50th anniversary!! Whoa. I could only do 23...and never again.

9:50 am

our 21st is next month

9:50 am

((crossy)) Yep....it's very annoying and disconcerting. Can't do much when this happens.

9:50 am

going to send the boy to the movies and make a candle-lit dinner for tow with all the trimmings

9:51 am

Mimi, isn't there any way of handling that problem? meds?

9:51 am

two

9:51 am

Congrats, crossy! I would have had 35 next March.

9:52 am

ah Crossy, HAPPY 21ST NEXT MONTH - great idea

9:52 am

Yes, flosey...I went back on the medication...again. I keep it on hand. Maybe should stay on it but don't want to if I don't need to. Cardiologist says it's OK for me to take it just when it happens and then stop after a week or so, and that's what I'm doing.

9:52 am

poor mimi:(

9:53 am

I agree with you there, no sense taking meds all the time if not totally necessary but awfully good to have them on hand

9:53 am

Thanks, crossy. It's very frustrating for someone like me...not my personality AT ALL to be "weak." But heart disease runs strong in my family and I expected it would happen at some point. It waited longer for me than it did for my bio father and grandmother, at least.

9:54 am

I better get myself ready, brother is picking me up - he said before noon so may be back for a few while I wait for him - we have a 2 + hour drive

9:54 am

There is the opinion that continuing to take the meds would avert the problem altogether and I may end up doing so at some point but not yet.

9:54 am

have a good day everyone

9:55 am

You, too, flosey!

9:55 am

I am going to make chicken cordon bleu with steamed veggies and stuffed baked taters with cheese and secret herbs and spices and a nice "death by chocolate" black forest cake for dessert with the perfect bottle or 3 of wine to accompany it all.

9:57 am

Sounds great. Always wanted a man who could cook. My ex used to make beef stew with a "broth" that was kind of thick and had no color whatsoever...yep...NO color...then loaded it down with ketchup.

9:59 am

yuck!

9:59 am

Had a boyfriend decades ago who was a bit of a gourmet, though, and we had a good time cooking together. That was really nice. And we had dinner parties often with friends. Sigh...but I'm still in touch with him. He's a big guy in the internet world and lives in Palo Alto.

9:59 am

I am the main cook for the household. My beloved has had eye issues for decades now

10:00 am

If you want a brunch recipe that is incredibly decadent but really easy to make, let me know. It's a family recipe and just as good the second day.

10:02 am

will do. I made some bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast cupcakes the other day:)

10:04 am

All you do with this one is get shredded Swiss cheese and put it in a loaf pan, make 6 indentations for egg pockets, break the eggs into the pockets, salt and pepper lightly, cover with sour cream/brown sugar mixture and bake until eggs set, about 20 minutes or so, and sour cream topping is just browned. YUM. I like to serve it with a spinach, bacon and mandarin orange salad.

10:04 am

Of course if you even have to ask about its calorie/fat/ nutrition value, you should not be eating them:) but oh were they tasty!

10:04 am

reading mimi...

10:05 am

sounds interesting

10:06 am

When my mother first told me about it, I thought it sounded TERRIBLE! But it's amazingly good. One must be willing to try new things, right?

10:06 am

now i want to make a bacon and egg pie:)

10:06 am

yes, indeed. always try new things

so the eggs are baled but like a fried egg, yolk and white separate?

10:07 am

It's incredibly rich.

ah, i take it you reached your weight goal and there is no longer feast then famine.

10:07 am

TO, just plop the entire egg in the pocket, sunny side up and cover with the sour cream mixture. It bakes kind of like a Scotch egg.

i see.

10:08 am

Oh, no....still trying to lose and starting a program to do so. I haven't made this in YEARS for myself.

i meant cross

who was doing a feast then starve diet

10:10 am

I lost 35 pounds in the end, but am not keeping up the maintinence at this time other than continuing to hike as much as i can

10:10 am

Don't know but sounds like a really bad idea...and very hard on the kidneys.

10:10 am

That's the best plan, crossy. I wish I could exercise mine away but, alas, the heart will not allow it.

i strive for moderation, but it is not hard for me. i hate fatty things.

10:11 am

Well, then, you'd despise me, TO!!!

aw, lol

things, not people!

10:11 am

it is not fat that is my nemesis as much as it is starches. i love baked breads and buns. they are my Kriptonite.

10:12 am

:)

hate poultry skin, fat o n meat, oils

sausage, aggs with cheese.

10:13 am

I do have one thing going for me....I don't eat a lot at any one time, so no portion control issue. Also, don't really snack and don't have much of a sweet tooth. But, like you, crossy...love my pasta and taters! Have cut way back, though.

hate lunch meat, too. ugh.

10:15 am

People often make the mistake, however, of nearly eliminating fat entirely from their diet and that's a mistake...bad for your nervous system. I like "good" fats, like avocados. And I use real butter instead of margarine as we're finding out it's actually better for you.

yes, i use butter. and olive oil

things that are very oily creep me out. like americanized pizza with all of that fake low fat cheese so that is is covered with grease.

10:17 am

Please tell me I'm not the only one who starts a grid and even at the same sitting forgets the words I already entered and tries them AGAIN!!!

10:17 am

yes, real butter and a quality olive oil;)

you are not alone, mimi.

10:18 am

you are not alone in that, mimi

10:18 am

Thank you. :)

and sometimes they don't take, for reasons unknown,

ah, the word coleus is taunting me. my phantom today.

10:19 am

OK...I've hit the wall with this one. Going to get breakfast and then, hopefully, write all day today and tomorrow as I have no work this weekend. Hold a good creative thought for me, crossy! Bye, TO.

breakfast sounds good, think i will get some as well. happy babbling.

10:20 am

Know what you mean, TO...I've often thought we should engage in a separate grid each time with nothing but phantoms.

10:20 am

will do, mimi!! 10,000 words today right?

10:21 am

....we'll see...you know I'm no good with "goals!"

10:23 am

I have lots of good "new" old music to put me in the mood...Stevie Wonder anthology, Bonnie Raitt, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac...you get the picture.

10:23 am

sounds like a perfect accompaniment to a perfect writing atmosphere.

10:24 am

Just ordered a k.d. lang collection, too. Have you heard her sing Skylark from Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil? It will haunt you forever.

10:25 am

We supposedly have a huge storm moving in this afternoon, too...perfect!

10:25 am

I have not listed to much by that artist

10:26 am

She's a Canadian, too!

10:27 am

Has anybody seen the dog/spider video? My sister saw it on the news in NY and it's hilarious

10:27 am

and hello

10:28 am

Her and Shania make up for the horror that is bieber I suppose..

10:28 am

((ruby))

my lastest canadian find is del barber. i love him

10:28 am

Pull her up on Amazon and listen to some of the cuts they have...her voice has amazing tone...and I'm probably overly critical in that area, with my background. I'm a big Streisand fan, but, imho, the best female voice I have ever heard is Martina McBride...great tone, great strength, interprets very well.

10:28 am

((ruby))

if you get the chance to see martina, do it. she gives an amazing show.

10:29 am

I'd really love to see Garth this time around and Trisha is with him. I sing some Trisha songs when I perform. For me, bar none, Garth Brooks is the best entertainer EVER.

10:31 am

I know nothing about current popular music. I'm stuck back in the 70's and 80's

10:31 am

Saw Tina Turner on her last tour (which I'm sure was her LAST tour)...68 yrs. young and rocked the house...with NO opening act! That was 6 years ago.

10:31 am

hi mimi and TO

10:32 am

I try to stay current...my daughter helps with that. Though I just heard Ariana Grande the other day and HATED her....very nasal and no idea how to "interpret" a song.....she's young, though.

10:33 am

my boy is a musician but either plays blues or with a U2 tribute band or a Tin Lizzy band

10:33 am

Tina kicks butt!

10:34 am

OK---now must have breakfast, especially since I skipped dinner last night. Good for him, ruby...love U2. Yep, she sure did, crossy. Bye y'all...

10:34 am

tc mimi

10:35 am

Most of the so called female vocalists of today sing through their nose. And I'm being generous using the term "sing".

10:41 am

Breakfast cooking...I just hate that, Molly. I am classically trained in voice and have a 3-octave range and am very much a stickler on tone, enunciation and interpretation, no matter what the type of music.

10:41 am

That having been said...I do love to rock it out!

10:41 am

Miley Cyrus sings out of her butt I thought

10:42 am

If you can't understand the lyrics, you get very little out of a song.

10:42 am

((ruru)) It's in the genes....or, in this case, jeans.

10:43 am

well.. if we're using Billy Ray as a clonal model.. errr

10:43 am

these days it is 3/4 pole dancing and 1/4 music

10:44 am

The Tractors' ♪baby likes to rock it like a boogie woogie choo choo train♪

10:46 am

OK---brekkie ready! Bye again...really, Molly...

10:51 am

I remember weekends like that. Have a few friends over, fire up the BBQ at three , then it is a drink or 6 or 8 while frolicking in the hot tub and before you know it, it is stupid-time as the witching hour of 9 pm rolls around as the sun falls to bed in a ball of fire and you wonder what in the heck just happened to the weekend lol

12:31 pm

I don't mind having a drink with my neighbors from time to time, but certainly not 6 or 8. And frolicking in the hot tub with them? Um, no.

12:31 pm

12:32 pm

those were the days; all the wives were 20-somethings and everyone had buns of steel lol

2:12 pm

Im back from the movies

2:14 pm

What did you see Annie?

2:15 pm

Guardians of the Galaxy. It wa Star Wars squared. If you like action this is your movie.

2:16 pm

Have heard good things about it from others. Will add it to my Netflix list. Rarely go out to the movies any more.

2:21 pm

I have an st 6/18 ...it's a plural....not sure if it is the last one...

2:22 pm

ty penq..the one i found was st +re 4/7 then plural

2:23 pm

ty....

2:24 pm

Star Wars squared...good description Annie

2:25 pm

Hi Molly, that was how I saw it

2:27 pm

Since I don't go to the movies anymore, I always enjoy hearing your thoughts on what you have seen.

2:27 pm

:)

2:28 pm

We don't go to the movies anymore either. Both of us have hearing problems and it's either too loud or to soft.

2:28 pm

But we love movies and watch them on TV with the captions on.

2:29 pm

I've never had a problem with too soft. Always too loud, which is one of the reasons I don't go to the movies anymore.

2:30 pm

Yes, when your hearing is about gone those loud sounds are actually painful.

2:31 pm

Will the F's ever end?

2:32 pm

I've only got half of them and am just not seeing any more.

2:32 pm

Hope so, Annie.Although I only have 32 of them.

2:32 pm

I need 10 more

2:32 pm

Hi zooz :)

2:32 pm

Hi, Annie.Glad you liked your movie :-)

2:33 pm

I really went because Bobby wanted to see it but I like it too.

2:35 pm

Good for you.I always took my own refreshments.As here in the UK you need to take out a mortgage to buy in the cinema!

2:37 pm

It's similar here zooz. I think they make most of their money off the concessions.

2:37 pm

Same here Zoom. Movie snacks are priced in the absurd range. We always brought our own too when we went.

2:37 pm

Here too. I paid almost $12. for popcorn and a small soda. They do not allow outside refreshments in the movies theatres here. That is how the concession stand can bankrupt you.

2:38 pm

Oh Annie, you have to be sneaky with your outside snacks. : D

2:38 pm

I even had a special big purse for carrying our drinks and snacks.

2:38 pm

See, Tabby and I are sneaky girls.

2:38 pm

Must admit, that is part of the fun sneaking in your own foods!

2:38 pm

I tried once and was caught. They actually look inside your purse or any tote you are carrying.

2:39 pm

Bloody cheek!

2:39 pm

I agree with you, zooz.

2:39 pm

Oh they don't do that here Annie. And when I can get a box of Raisinettes for a dollar at the grocery store and the movie theater wants 3.50 for them, it's a no-brainer

2:40 pm

I could also fit a nice big bag of homemade popcorn in my "special movie purse"

2:40 pm

Maybe they do that here now too, with crazy people with guns nowadays.

2:40 pm

They can do it here. I wonder where people hide the refreshments. I wont go there.

2:41 pm

Movie purse LOL love it!

2:41 pm

Molly, does it have a hidden compartment?

2:41 pm

Eww best not, Annie. Put it this way..I would not want any if they offered any to me..lol

2:42 pm

LOL

2:43 pm

166 before listing, my personal best !!!

2:44 pm

Good going, Lexi!

2:45 pm

Everyone repeat after me, listing is not a crime, or something bad...it's just help from Lickety.

2:45 pm

Without Lickety, I am a dead duck.

2:46 pm

I can go so far and then Lickety is my savior.

2:46 pm

I feel no shame using lickety, but I like to last as long as I can without doing so.... ;o)

2:46 pm

Our afternoon thunderstorm is about to arrive. Time to turn off the computers and unplug them.

2:46 pm

Later...

2:46 pm

found 185 words so far, no list and still going strong

2:46 pm

No agreed, Molly.But it is still nice to see many you can get without clues via chat or lickety :-)

2:47 pm

Stay safe, Tabby :-)

2:47 pm

189, nbt and nbs, time for a break anyway.

2:48 pm

201 for me, Annie. Slowing now.But I have time on my side.

2:48 pm

I've never understood why people post when, or if they use Lickety. This is not a competitive game.

3:05 pm

EVeryone plays this game in their own way - has their own goals - and i will never question how others choose to play the game - we are all here to do our own thing

3:06 pm

Not questioning, just curious. Everyone can feel free to play the way they want. I was just making a comment...which never seems to go well.

3:09 pm

it is easy to understand, much in the same way it is easy to understand why people post when the achieve NBT or NBS in the chat. it adds depth and interest to what after all is a pretty basic game, as does the chat board itself.

3:13 pm

I am always trying to "one up" myself hahahaha :)

3:13 pm

:)

3:13 pm

lexi, congratulations on the birth of your little girl

3:14 pm

yaaa for lexi!
