3:07 am

I just had to run upstairs because Burt was afoot and I was trying to keep him away from where the painter is working.

5:51 am

good morning everyone.

5:51 am

Mimi, if you are around, I have send you a e-mail.

5:51 am

heyyy crossy :) *hugs*

5:51 am

((sprite))

5:52 am

how are you and mrs Elegant?

5:52 am

Cats got me up at 05:00 and it is not quite 7 am and my beloved is still abed.:)

5:52 am

but we are both doing well:)

5:53 am

ugh, too early. Glad your love is still asleep :)

5:53 am

We have one cat that chews on my fingers when i am asleep to inform me that he would like some breakfast

5:53 am

lolol! Oh those cats...

5:54 am

if I put that hand under the covers, he will go for my oher hand. if I bury that hand he will lick my nose.

5:54 am

priceless :)

5:55 am

When the kitten was younger he would sit on my chest and groom my beard

5:55 am

hehehe how cute

6:02 am

Good morning, I'm here for about 10 mins :)

6:03 am

hey sukee :) Good stuff planned?

6:03 am

Just the gym :)

6:03 am

oh very good :)

6:04 am

Had a scare when getting my laundry, got light in the head and felt like I was going to pass out.

6:05 am

Don't know if I inhaled something.

6:05 am

did you bend down or stand up quickly?

6:06 am

Nope.

6:06 am

how is your blood pressure?

6:06 am

It was okay last time it was checked. I got a buzz in my head :)

6:08 am

worth checking up on, I think. Might be as simple as a shortage of some vitamin or something.

6:08 am

Yes, I hadn't had breakfast. Came back up and drank an Ensure.

6:09 am

ah, there you go. Low bloodsugar could do it.

6:10 am

I always keep a bit of fresh fruit around for the morning when my sugars are low. That way i can eat some peaches, relax, wake up a bit before worrying about rattling pans in the kitchen

6:10 am

I felt fine before though. Oh well it was a short period.

6:11 am

I go downstairs, take my meds, bring up two apples and sit down to babble.

sukee, not sure of your age - and don't want to scare, but if you have not had a check up lately, please go to the doc - sometimes a little dizzy spell can mean a small heart thing - just saying . .

6:11 am

hi sugrr

6:12 am

I just had a full check up about 2 months ago.

hi sprite

6:12 am

gm, everyone! fun grid. tadone!

ok, good sukee . . just take it easy - drink fluids, could be a little dehydrated - as we all are when we wake up.

6:13 am

hi dawg, it is, and wtg!

6:13 am

I'll take it easy at the gym.

6:13 am

hiya, sprite! how are you? hi sukee and sugra

6:14 am

Hi lbd

6:14 am

am fine, and you? And yours?

6:15 am

I'm doing well. family is doing well from last report. just trying to stay warm.

6:15 am

Well, time to go get ready. Take care all.

6:15 am

ugh, same here, it has become so cold all of a sudden. The old bodies have trouble adapting.

6:15 am

take care, sukee

6:17 am

take care sukee. yes to the old bodies slow acclimation to the weather. it's currently 1°F and I'm sure there's a windchill but it's still bloody cold!

6:18 am

fireflies. Friendly grid.

6:18 am

9:36 am

Yeah, but what a cow.

9:36 am

moo

9:36 am

at least she isn't pretending she likes me. That is something, I guess. I will give her points for honesty

9:37 am

Fireworks

9:38 am

wahoo!

9:38 am

OK...now I have to be productive...at least 1 load of wash and pick up the fall decor outside since it is 60 degrees today.

9:38 am

Later, I will go to the greens workshop

9:39 am

I hope you have a wonderfully quiet day!

9:39 am

{{hugs}]

9:39 am

BTW..It was cool to see them setting up the town as a movie set. Flocking the trees as I was leaving.

9:41 am

so cool

9:46 am

I wonder.....would anyone notice if I just HID for the rest of the day?

9:47 am

pity...enable has no love for Rotel tomatoes.... food of the gods

9:48 am

Enable is an enigma:)

9:49 am

i think of it as having a life of its own;perhaps with a touch of evil malice:)

9:51 am

Gave two of our kitties a bath yesterday with some Aveeno oatmeal bath sachets... the youngest cat tried to escape and clawed my wrist open in 4 places... the wounds make it look like i tried to off myself lol

9:51 am

I like the evil menace part...

9:51 am

damn. bell. see ya

9:52 am

Good morning all!

9:52 am

howdy judi

9:53 am

ty car

9:53 am

Egad, Crossy! How dirty could those cats be?

9:54 am

Not dirty per se, but they have been scrating some and have raised scabs on their skin. They are indoor cats so no fleas or the like.

9:54 am

I just wanted to ease their itches

9:55 am

Ah. Dry skin, maybe? Perhaps a fish oil supplment might help.

9:55 am

also have some benadry topical spray. I do not know the cause of thier itching just yet though

9:55 am

Bebadryl

9:55 am

darn

9:55 am

cannot ype today

9:55 am

lol. I know what you mean.

9:55 am

crossy waves the surrender flag to the keyboard

9:56 am

Please! For everyones sake!

9:56 am

Will just let you interpret:)

9:57 am

All three cats are itchy:(

9:58 am

Hmm. Strange. Change in food? Maybe a bad batch of food?

9:58 am

hi all. any clues for the 8 out there and the stat?

9:58 am

I'm not aware of any contageous skin diseases among cats.

9:59 am

mm, Think not. This has continued on through two different purchases of food and they get Iams, not cheap food..:(

9:59 am

if it continues much longer i shall have to get a loan and let a vet look at one of them

9:59 am

Very mysterious. A call to the vet is in order.

10:00 am

$$$.. big money

10:01 am

Pffth. Believe me. I know. Online research might yield the answer.

10:01 am

I think I can get the vet to peek at one for a gen exam for $85+tax.. so a 100 dollars for a look see

10:01 am

Not quite as expensive here. An office visit is about $50.00. Treatment extra of course.

10:01 am

Wow, that is expensive. Especially for people with more than one pet.

10:02 am

sadly, the net is a overload of info;everything from skin rashes, to scabies, to dozens of deadly or life threatening illneses.

10:03 am

I am guessing the vet will have to do a skin scraping and pop it under the microscope

10:03 am

itchy kitty sounds like Japanese

10:03 am

that is itchi-ban kitty-san

10:04 am

:)

10:04 am

Is there a cat doctor in the house???

10:04 am

{{crossy}}

10:04 am

I was talking with our resident vet, but it can be so many things.

10:04 am

I had portraits done of two of the dogs for DH's Christmas present and they are wonderful

10:04 am

i will have to suck it up and bring one in

10:05 am

very nice, ruby:)

10:05 am

did you dress the puppies up for the studio pics?

10:05 am

She did one of Ruby (RIP) and one of Ruffino and absolutely caught the essence of each

10:05 am

If they are all indoor cats, it would seem like it would have to be something environmental or something they all ate or are eating. Otherwise, something they are all getting bitten by.

10:06 am

She used watercolors and colored ink

10:06 am

Well, i only need to get one diagnosed at least. the treatment for all three will be the same no doubt

10:08 am

Gotta restart the computer. Calculator keeps popping up. May be something to do with the cat spilling my coffee on the keyboard earlier. Oy. Be back in a few....

10:09 am

bad kitty-san

10:09 am

dried sugar in the keys will do it all the time:(

10:09 am

Had the same thing with my mouse yesterday because I spilt a cup of tea on it.

10:11 am

I am brain numb today, not doing well on this little grid at all (though only looking intermittently)

10:25 am

Okay. We'll see if we're cat and coffee proof now.

10:25 am

Does anyone know what the 8 starts with?

10:27 am

to

10:27 am

Ty, grant.

10:27 am

yw

10:30 am

Still don't know what the word is, but...

10:31 am

Damn calculator!

10:38 am

Clue for that to..

10:38 am

Certain keys activate the calculator. Grrrr.

10:42 am

to + what you catch fish in + frozen water plural without the last vowel

10:42 am

Ty, Molls! Can always count on you!

10:53 am

Time to clean this keyboard with some alcohol and a q-tip. Bye for now.

3:15 pm

do you have to pay for improving your building?

3:17 pm

Yes, it is a log cabin on two acres by the ocean on the west coast of BC, self-contained, so I pay for every improvement, sigh. Now back to finish up here, it has been great sharing experiences with you!

3:20 pm

a lot of people here get government help, but we didnt qualify.good luck with babble.

4:56 pm

We have to use a landromat, so to make it worth my while so I can use the large load machine, i let it build up for a couple of weeks

4:56 pm

I can fit 4 loads in each large front loader

4:57 pm

ah. But doing all that laundry in a laundromat - ugh!

5:08 pm

oh for heaven's sake - I had the to7/8 combo but not the to4 it's built on. Sigh.

Hi Ru, lurkers...

hi lurkerista

10:13 pm

Oui, c'est moi

10:14 pm

How was thanksgiving? What did you cook. (Make my mouth water...)

10:16 pm

I didn't cook much.. my lovely SIL did all the doing

10:17 pm

I made a simple carrot dish with carrots cooked in chicken stock with grilled shallots, nutmeg, thyme and reduction of the chicken stock. Came out nicely. my Nephews are fussy eaters

10:18 pm

Sounds interesting. I wouldn't think to pair carrots with nutmeg, but it probably tastes yummy.

10:19 pm

it was really good. Do you have a Pensee's (sp?) down your way.. I got my nutmeg there.. really fresh

10:19 pm

and they have the BEST cinnamon EVER.. from Viet Nam

10:20 pm

I saw a recipe on MSN and thought .. gee that sounds light, and flavorful and EASY

10:20 pm

my nephews actually ATE some.. I was shocked

10:21 pm

I do mail order from them. I ordered their Ceylon cinnamon last time.

10:21 pm

what did you veggies do for T-Day

How old are the nephews...

10:21 pm

I like the Vietnamese cinnamon.. it is incredible

10:22 pm

they are 19, 23, 25..

10:22 pm

the youngest is the most like me

10:24 pm

We had a gardein Holiday roast as our "turkey." I made red cabbage (cooked with apples, vinegar, brown sugar), mashed cauliflower, mashed yams, cranberry sauce, cumin-braised Brussels sprouts, salad, and a KILLER stuffing with roasted poblano peppers and corn - southwest flavors

10:25 pm

that sounds good

10:25 pm

I taught my SIL how to make Amaretto crusted yam casserole

10:25 pm

I'll try the Vietnamese cinnamon next time I order (if I remember).

10:26 pm

totally veggie

10:26 pm

Now that sounds good. Share the recipe?

10:26 pm

you won't regret it or ever buy another

10:26 pm

The nephews sound too old to be fussy.

10:26 pm

sure. I can write it up. Do you have my email address?

10:27 pm

Nope...

10:28 pm

they ARE too old to be fussy.. they are spoiled rotten.. they won't eat anything green.. (except the youngest).. they won't eat any vegetables, except Corn, and carrots. It's unbelievable. I told them that the world doesn't revolve around Pizza

10:28 pm

i'll post it in my profile and then delete it ok?

10:28 pm

Especially since pizza only exists in NYC.

10:28 pm

Sounds good. Tell me when to look

10:29 pm

it's there.. let me know you have it and I'll delete it

10:29 pm

Got it

10:29 pm

I'm a Chicago pizza guy myself

10:30 pm

drop me a note and i'll type up the recipe .. it's easy and delicious .. got it from Cuisine or Silver Palate cookbook as I remember

10:32 pm

WRONG!. That is soooo wrong.

10:33 pm

Previous comment re pizza. Sent you a short em. I used to have Silver Palate cookbook a hundred years ago.

10:45 pm

helloout there

10:45 pm

Hello

10:48 pm

hey Doren.. how was the show?

10:48 pm

do you need help finishing?

10:49 pm

show was good... This very talented girl can channel Janis Joplin. Ball and Chain, Piece of My Heart, Summertime..... it was cookin!!

10:49 pm

I like the Silver palate.. recipes.. but you have to flavor them up a bit as many of them are a little bland

10:49 pm

I saw Janis in person as a teenager Doren.. that's how freakin' old I am

10:50 pm

Just got in, down to 6 so I guess I'll finish. we used to pick stuff up from their shop sometimes and bring into Central Park for concerts...

10:50 pm

actually Big Brother and the Holding Company

10:51 pm

She is the reason I have my kids.. I had seen her (we went to NYU) and then Wayne had great tickets for another show a few weeks later so I deigned to go out with him. 6th row center and i swear Sam Houston Andrews was looking right at me during that whole concert.

10:52 pm

oh.. isn't that something

10:52 pm

just loved janis....

10:52 pm

I saw her at the Fillmore. I still have the poster

10:53 pm

She was amazing

10:53 pm

that's for sure

10:53 pm

10:53 pm

fillmore east, and some college auditorium, can't remember who I saw her at Fillmore with. But I do remebe her!!

10:54 pm

mine was Jim Kweskin and the Jug Band and Big Brother was the headliner

10:54 pm

ta 6/27 please?

10:54 pm

heard a good NPR interview with someone who travelled with her and just published book...sounds like she had lots of insecurity issues even though people loved her..

10:54 pm

Thanks for the recipe ru. Sounds great. I'll let you know after I try it.

10:54 pm

I was like 13 or 14

10:55 pm

tight + most of big pig

10:55 pm

You guys are making me feel sooo young. Which is refreshing after spending the afternoon with a 26 yo

10:55 pm

anybody do any recipe posts on the Babble FB page?

10:55 pm

I was 18. well, Babs, she really was picked on in high school. Not a pretty girl, and quite the misfit

10:55 pm

great. I think you'll like it.. you can add a little orange zest too if you like that.. makes it a tiny bit bitter though

10:56 pm

I don't do facebook babs

10:56 pm

I'm on my countdown to 65 spellcheck... One month from tomorrow.

10:56 pm

oh my god.. you're a capricorn

10:56 pm

yes...sounds like when she went to her 10 year reunion she was expecting to be better received and wasn't

10:56 pm

I've been putting Satsuma mandarins in my cranberry sauce... nice twist.

10:56 pm

ty for ta

10:57 pm

lime and lime zest are great with cranberries too

10:57 pm

Congrats Dorens. Medicare yay!!! I turned 50 this year. Looks like many of babblers are hitting milestones this year.

10:57 pm

hey lme and lime zest are great period

10:57 pm

I love mandarin oranges

10:57 pm

I hit 60 this year

10:57 pm

head on..

10:57 pm

almost in my 7th decade here

10:57 pm

or did 60 hit you?

10:58 pm

I hit it and it has since kicked me in the ass

10:58 pm

good job Babs, I have decided today that I intend to get there too

10:58 pm

you didn't answer my diet coke question doren :D

10:59 pm

I hope to make it to 70.. .otherwise there are going to be really big shoes to fill around here

10:59 pm

which question? I bought it to serve. Certainly not to drink. But it makes sense to have it in the house.

10:59 pm

that was the question :D

11:00 pm

i have evolved. No need to try to manipulate or change.

11:00 pm

ah.. that's good of you.

11:00 pm

Of course my first instinct is to revile the stuff and talk about how unhealthy it is.

11:00 pm

I'm not taking him to Per Se however :D

11:00 pm

but each to his own, I always say. (for the lasst two months perhaps)

11:01 pm

oh God no, that would be such a travesty.

11:01 pm

Is evolution a function of aging?

11:01 pm

that was my read on it too

11:01 pm

it is in this case. Sort of a natural progression of things. And a conscious effort to repair, heal, improve when I retired from work

11:01 pm

hmmm good question spell.. I think that evolution and wise-ness go hand and hand

11:02 pm

I was going to commit myself to a monastery when I retire

11:02 pm

Rurumonk will be my new call name then

11:03 pm

Ha! Not buying it.

11:03 pm

*tries on orange robe for size*

11:03 pm

well some sort of commitment might be in order

11:03 pm

*shaves head.. lights incense*

11:03 pm

Orange... oh, you were talking prison.

11:03 pm

LOL doren

11:03 pm

no.. like the dalai lama spell

11:04 pm

I'll invite you to the ashram I go to in India then

11:04 pm

ru in an ashram.........scary vision

11:04 pm

rusachitnanda doren :D

11:05 pm

maybe with a little more evolution first

11:05 pm

India doesn't interest me .. too poor a country

11:05 pm

asceticism and ruru... not a combination I would put together

11:05 pm

and lousy wine

11:06 pm

I'm going to be a special monk

11:06 pm

and done.... night folks, and hasta la vista well special, yes ru

11:06 pm

night ms. D.. you rest well

11:06 pm

so, what does satchitananda mean...ruru...just checking

11:07 pm

without looking it up in Google

11:07 pm

it's some kind of peace greeting I think in Indian

11:07 pm

jai satchinanda is the term I think

11:07 pm

not quite

11:07 pm

i'm hoping to.. sat night i slept four hours, sunday two 1 1/2 intervals, last night 2 hours.

11:07 pm

god.. I hope that changes Doren

11:08 pm

I had a few friends in Cults Babs.. and they use to say that to me all the time.. I wanted to smack them on the head and tell them to shut up

11:08 pm

it will.. tapering off the prednisone started today.... from 60 to 50, tomorrow 40, etc.

11:08 pm

that's pretty rapid isn't it..

11:10 pm

jai sachidanand is the term.. means something with god

11:10 pm

go with god.. be with god.. etc

11:10 pm

yes it does sound rapid, but he thinks it should be fine... and with a bp of 200/98 I'm all for it....

11:10 pm

well..won't explain then -- rather not be accused of being cult like nor wanting to get smacked in the head :-)

11:10 pm

shoot the sh** with god..etc

11:11 pm

LOL Babs.. never

11:11 pm

that's probably right doren.. but your breathing may change no?

11:12 pm

sounds like the prednisone wasn't helping it... it just has to work itself out. But my lungs didn't sound bad, and that is good. Such a relief

11:12 pm

I'm not big on cults babs

11:12 pm

that is good news doren

11:12 pm

nor am I

11:13 pm

what are you getting over, doren?

11:16 pm

chronic obstructive bronchitis, babs...

11:16 pm

sat (existence) chit (consciousness) ananda (bliss) fyi

11:16 pm

ugh...doing anything to support your immune system differently now?

11:16 pm

11:17 pm

11:18 pm

I'm in for all the ananda I can get then babs :D

11:18 pm

I can skip the satchit :D

11:18 pm

ha ha...too bad, it comes with the territory of being human

11:23 pm

Not necessarily Babs, especially\ not the chit

11:25 pm

yeah.. republicans aren't full of chit that's for sure

11:26 pm

they are full of something similar sounding though :D

11:27 pm

hah! :D

11:32 pm
