Hi all
hi Dianne
Hi Dianne
ruru - I haven't been on for a while so....did you move?
not yet.. still looking for a house
ta7 x 2 - if not called.
What area are you look in?
the town of Napa
Are you looking for a place with a lot of land?
no... just a smaller house with a guest house and a smaller yard .. room for a pool
I'm kind of done with a big house and a lot of land
Nice - I hope you find just what you want. How big a town in Napa?
about 75,000 people by now I'd guess or 55-75
thanks I hope so too. I am waiting for the market to cool off a bit.. it's been a little bit nuts
What size qualifies as a city vs. a town?
boy.. that I don't know
According to what I just read on Google size is not the qualifier. It has to dowith incorporation. A city can collect taxes.
oh... lucky me then
finally got those ta 7's

yay Dianne.. I should have been more clear
hello friends
g'day trif if you're still here
still here
cant sleep
poor you, honey. very frustrating. any particular reason which you can pinpoint?
stress I think. Nerves. I will be fine.
may I please have the count for the n in the first column?
no9/72
thank you
what care you nervous about trif? or is that a silly question?
have a big meeting tomorrow. many decisions to be made.
and all the different scenarios are racing around your head?
more like "what am I walking into?" and wanting to be prepared for each one. Don't like surprises, or feeling ill-footed, so I have a tendency to try to think of everything that could happen, so I can mentally prepare myself. foolish, but hard as all hell to switch off
thank you for asking - very kind
not foolish at all dear. and i am not going to tell you not to worry or any of the other flip remarks people make. that's a lot of old cobblers. but i could suggest that you jot down a few notes as you think of things.
I did wonder if I should prepare talking points....even just to get them out on paper and out of my head
exactly. part of your concern stems from wondering if you will remember what you want to say.
very very wise
on a totally unrelated note - some friends of mine have relocated from Massachusetts to new Zealand with their three children. watching their journey (via facebook) has really been something - brave, brave people!
sweetie, i have been there, done that several times in my life. writing stuff down really does help.
wow!! what a sea-change!! i'm with you...very, very brave people.
good morning all
they are enjoying the beauty of course, and seeing totally new animals and plants and being so close to such a beautiful sea, but I know it's been quite lonely for the mum. she hopes to start meeting some new mummy friends once school starts, in two weeks, I think
good morning sprite! what a treat!
oops
{{hugs}} and good morning my lovely friend.
*hugs Triffles* Good to see you!
*hugs rose* Hello my dear friend, how are you feeling? And how did it all go?
today all is good. i did email you.
oh I didn't get an email yet, I just looked
yep, there it is. Brb, am gonna read it
is the no9 an anti - something word?
it's a not word
thought so. found the 11 no problem....
uses double consonant
back. Awesome, rose :) Glad your pain is so much less now, and yay for the magnesium too.
got it! feeling highly smug, thanks rose
*giggles* ye4... i think so too
I keep seeing scratch
yay trif. well done
starve is my big phantom today
ugh yes that one too, now. Thanks.
carve was mine. maybe mine could feed yours. ;-)

oh rose, good news from ruby... Burt is in another home now and it looks all good.
*giggles*
that is good news, sprite. now if she will only leave him there and give herself time to heal.
yes, sprite, I was lucky to have some time with ruby yesterday. I think she is so amazing, how she handles thing with such grace.
amen, from your mouth to God's ear.
we were teasing her because a neighbor wants to "use" her dog, and we were calling it his booty call. Convo quickly went south from there!!!
yes I would say fighting cancer is bad enough without having a demented husband to care for
*giggles* I just read that, Trif, and was thinking along the same lines :D Ruby is pimping out her dog, huh...
apparently he is famous
*giggles* reminds me. when jun e and i were out for lunch, some guy stopped to admire her dog and asked her if he had been de-sexed.
it was the way she put it that was so charming - she said her neighbor wanted to use the dog to "cover her bitch"
lol rose. What did she say? He has, but I haven't?
she said later...terrific, the first time i have had a proposition in ye5, and it was for the dog!!!
roflolollll
lol sprite!!!
hahahaha
Im gonna wake up tertirae!
I had better settle down in here
lol rose... poor June!
being woken by laughter is healthy for her
waking her in unhealthy for all!

dingdingding Trif wins the kiss from the hot guy
oh dear!! i need new glasses. thought you said the pot guy...
oooh fun, if memory serves....
the toke from the pot guy, the kiss from the hot guy. Jeezz rose, let's keep the men sorted, ok? ;)
bbl. dinner
enjoy, darling
Im in no position to argue - a nice kiss from a nice guy would be lovely
enjoy dinner rose!
*hands in Trif's wish at the Big Guy's* Here, make it happen. Stat. Thanks.
thank you.
love is soooooo complicated
He is known to listen to me, He knows how unsufferable I become when He doesn't ;)
im picturing Him up there, rolling His eyes....
it is, Trif... at least the people involved usually make it that way.
yep, that would be correct. He does that a lot at me. I have no idea why.
I haven't seen my valentine in a month. we are meeting tomorrow to discuss what we should do from here.
not to overshare...
sweetie, share all you like. I am here to listen. Doesn't sound comfortable at all... if you are no priority in his life, he should take a hike.
(and have his stupid head examined)
have his stupid head examined is the key to it all. he either goes....or he goes.
we were doing great until may. I don't know what changed, but he went into this spiral, there was a HUGE confrontation in the beginning of September in which he TOTALLY f'ed up, and I haven't seen him since.
good for you, Trif. Keep strong and hold out for the one that will love you like you deserve.
But I will say this - I am proud of how strong I have become over the last few years. I am finally, after 50 years, no longer willing to beat dead horses, or feel like it's my job to fix everyone. after 50 years. that's something, anyway.
oh, but I will be lonely for him....and he will always regret me. when it worked, it was GREAT
Spiral, ok. Confrontation, ok. F'king up, well, ok. But not fixing it afterwards and staying away for weeks and months? No freakin' way. That is respectless and stupid.
well, to be fair - I told him to leave me alone. I needed time to breathe.
and I hear ya, Triffles... it hurts. And yes, lonely and missing the good stuff. But you sound wonderfully strong and self-reliant and mature. Yay for you. And hear's to the guy that is just as great but then for keeps.
tsk, no matter what you said... he should have tried.
yes. I agree.
im curious to see how he approaches things today. if he is still trying to blame me for "causing" what he did, it's going to be one short convo.
causing what he did? Is he out of his silly head? Is he a wind-up mouse that you can cause him to do things he doesn't want to do? Come on, guy, you are an adult and responsible for your own actions all the way.
absolutely.
and I am with you... if he goes that way again, bye-bye and don't come back.
that's what I wrestle with the most - end it now, and save myself having to do it later, or believe in him, give him another chance, risking that he can do the work that he needs to?
and back. ugh trif, like you need this. xoxox
follow your he5, Trif. Listen to him, and feel deep down what is the right course for the two of you. You will know. Beneath the fear of being hurt and the anger of being mistreated, there is this inner wisdom that will tell you whether or not to give him another chance.
I saw a medium today, which I don't normally do, but a friend of mine knows one, and set up this sort of gathering where we all had readings done. she told me flat out he was an anchor around my neck, and was holding be back. I immediately thought "no he isn't! he can be very supportive!" which used to be true, but isn't now. I am struck by how I really, really didn't want her to say Anything bad about him - that to me is a bigger indication of how I really feel than whatever she said.
the first two years we were together he was my CHAMPION - encouraging, helpful, unerringly kind. he has changed since may....
oh yes, absolutely. If he is an anchor, you will feel that yourself. I would say, trust yourself, all the way. No medium, however gifted, can know better than you do.
anyway....can we please discuss something else? Im sick of myself, at this point. have been obsessed with this for a month, what to do, what to do....
it would be interesting to know what happened to him in may that changed things. But no matter the cause, he has to take responsibility for his actions or lack thereof.
yes. I sort of wish she hadn't said that about him being an anchor. now that is in my head
throw it out, Trif. You are the only one who can decide and judge what he is to you and what not. And sure, we can discuss something else. But feel free to vent here anytime you like, ok?
ok, and a million thank yous. is there anything YOU need to vent about? my ears work too!
wb rose :) Was your dinner lovely?
hehehe no I am fine. Still steadily losing weight and coming to terms with the new food requirements. All peaceful.
beef rissoles, mashed potato, vegs and a splash of gravy.
oh, good for you! are you trying to reduce?
lovely, rose!
sounds lovely rose!
snap sprite
*grins*
lollll, get used to it trif. sprite does it to me all the time.
had a gastric bypass end of august, have lost lots of weight since then.
sure, blame it on me :D
oh wow, I missed all that! congratulations!
((Hugs)) to all but be right back forgot my juice in the kitchen. Best get it before the wardens tosses it out.
thank you!
*hugs mel* hurry back with that juice :)
the medium did tell me I needed to hop on the treadmill....
hello mel!
with all due respect for the medium, Trif, but that is a truly generic advice. So far I am not impressed with her vision :)
wouldn't you be better off walking on the treadmill, trif??
tbh, I wasn't exactly blown away....she NAILED tertiare though!
hahaha rose
hop skip and jump on the treadmill
hop, skip, or jump, surely I DO need to get my fat ass on one!
well, to be honest, trif... if you were talking with a regular person, would you take each and every word as gospel? So why would you do that with a medium? They are just as prone to mistakes and misjudgements etc as the rest of us.
i have a mini trampoline. i was bouncing on it before i hurt my knee. it's surprising how much your he5 rate goes up just bouncing.
good point! it was just for fun, wasn't it? I need to not take it so seriously
I have a mini trampoline too. His name is Rob. We bounce and yes, it is great for my heartrate.
.....getting amazing visual of you ladies bouncing.....
good grief!! sprite, is nothing sacred?
um let me think... (quick memory of Monty Python's Meaning of Life) Yes, every sperm is sacred!
ROFLOLOLOL
woke up the dogs, laughing....
we are dog sitting one of tertiare's teachers dogs...he is SUCH a little character! half beagle, half jack Russell, ALL personality! His name is Toby, but we keep calling him all sorts of other silly names like Toblerone, Sir Tobias, etc.
as for mediums... I can do that too. Let's see. "You need to get some exercise" (yeah duh, who doesn't). "You need to pay attention to what you eat, there is something you eat that doesn't agree with you" (easy to say in this age of food allergies). Etc etc etc.
omg that is quick the mix, Trif :)
that is QUITE the mix *
he is so great. I sort of wish the guy would just leave him here
oh gosh, I am all over the PB tonight....sorry ladies
don't worry about it. We'll have an old-fashioned PB party. Rose brings the snacks, I bring the booze.
ye4. *offers trif my thumb* have a bite on that, dear
I can bring apples! my neighbor up the street has a tree that is fair groaning with them
rose is smart not to offer me the same thing :D
apples. I love apples. Apples from a garden must be even better than the ones in the stores. Gimme!
they are so crisp, and the flesh is bright, bright white. NOTHING like fresh apples
We pick apples from a local orchard every October
oh how lovely, bichon. How do you keep them?
those are the best, Trif. My mouth is actually watering.
I going to do up loads of cans off applesauce this week
I pick as many as I can and store them in either the fridge or in the basement
of
applesauce is great too. My neighbours had some apples to spare from their own little tree and my love made us applesauce... to die for
this guy used to sit with all his buddies under the tree, drinking gallons of beer and smoking constantly. tertiare says the apple sauce will likely taste like a bar!
that is great, bichon, to have a basement. You could dry some too :)
I store a lot in our basement. Especially in the cooler months
Back sorry switched to hot cocoa
alas, I have no basement, just a crawl space, and anything I put in there in the winter would freeze stone solid
we only have a crawl space too. Too wet to store anything, and too cold in winter too.
they keep saying we are in for a much worse winter than normal. I find that amusing. what defines normal anymore?
even better, mel. You brought enough for all of us, right?
It does get cold in the basement, but never below 40
I call my crawl space "man land" - as in, I never, EV4 want to go there. but when I must, I do.
Yes and filched cookies too!
I am ongoing not impressed with forecasts. I simply take it day by day and don't worry about those forecasts anymore.
last winter we had workers down there and they had to bring in heaters
cookies! Mel is my best friend :)
my grandfather used to say the only time they were sure of Tuesday's weather was Wednesday.
hey!!! *offers sprite my big toe* that surely beats cookies...
lol Trif, exactly! And they know it too. Nowadays, the weather forecast here starts with the weather of the past day!
Well I did my stint at the prayer tent tonight so far no westboro Baptist have showed up. Such a nightmare those people, between them and the lying media I wish they would all go away.
*takes a bite* Hmmm as toes go, this one is delish. But cookies!
Lol
*stuffs choc chips under nail* any better?
oh yes. Chocolate beats cookies. Or let me check... they could be chocolate cookies...
btw, we had 31 people b ring their pets to church. it was crazy but lovely at the same time.
awesome, rose. Happy St Francis Day to all our critters.
mel, tell me more about the Westboro Baptists. They're the ones who demonstrate at the funerals of servicemen?
oh, we used to do a blessing of the animals! we brought a chicken one time, and one year a young girl in our congregation brought a baby cow she was raising
they are HORRIBLE people bichon! Jesus would weep.
what's this about demostrating at someone's funeral??? Are they out of their minds?
I think the first of the 9 funerals is monday but we are trying to keep the media from knowing when and where to give the famikies peace and privacy.
when the boston marathon bombing happened, there was a rumor going around that they were going to show up and demonstrate at the interfaith prayer service being held.
Yes Bichon and they are coming to Roseburg to picket the funerals of those killed at our college.
They felt quite strongly that the bombing was a direct result of Massachusetts legalizing gay marriage. my son, who does not even believe in God right now, went and formed part of a human wall to screen participants at the prayer service from the
it always baffles me how people can do loveless and respectless things in the name of their faith. If a religion isn't ultimately about love, it doesn't deserve the name of religion at all.
WBC. I was NEVER prouder of him than I was that day.
good for him, Trif!
They are saying god sent the shooter to kill the college students because they are immoral.
meliae, I am so sorry to all of you in Oregon, what a tragedy
how dare they. Someone should whip them bloody.
So we have been protecting any place we think they may show up.
if you hate someone because of your religion, you are doing it wrong.
Oy vey. Isn't that the opposite of Jesus's teachings?
amen, Trif.
good for you meliae! god bless you
absolutely, bichon. And the opposite of what is at the core of all religions, if you ask me. Love should be our guideline, always.
Our town is such a mess, is it wrong of me to wish they would all go away and leave us to mourn in oeace?
Anyone here have the no's?
Peace
no. no it is not wrong. if you felt that people were there to mourn with you, that would be one thing.
yes, they are both negative words, bichon. Do you want more of a clue?
I have a couple, bichon - no 9 and 11
unrelated thought
Is being immoral your personal issue?
hint pls Trif
no, that is not wrong at all, mel. You all deserve the peace to mourn. You don't need all the extra drama.
not born to the region, and not able to make original things
(those were the hints)
the 11 means boring and derivative, the no9 means foreign
The lying media, the scammers who are trying to say they want money for the victims, the politicians with their agendas just so sick of it all.
Trif, ty you, but I don't get the 11
unable to produce original things.
got it, ty trif
not able to make original things, bichon
unable to make art?
snappity snap! sprite
no11. not + able to think of something new
lol
now I can go on with Babble
I try and try, but go unnoticed, lol
snap Trif :)
yay bichon. well done
the thing that really gets me is that the WBC is basically all one family, with maybe less than 20 members. but MAN to they make a noise
Hello everybody!!@@@
isn't that often the case? The small groups are the loudest.
Bon jour. Quelle jolie le petite chien
wow!!! hugs (gently ) and g'day dear ruby
ruby :) *hug* Will write back to you after babble. Glad to hear the good news.
ruby!!! big hug
I'm adjusting to bering alone here but the dogs are still acting very odd.
They are sick in their beliefs I refused to call them religious, they are a cult.
did you arrange your dogs booty call?
it will take a lot of getting used to, ruby. But it should bring peace as well.
Not yet. I'm waiting to find out if he'll be paid in eurosd, not with a puppy.
lol indeed! Cash on the deal up front, or no booty.
tell her to leave the money on the nightstand in the doghouse
lolol Trif!
Iam feeling much better and Burt, though confused and agitated ast night, is safe and comfortable. The sadness for me comes with his not knowing why he is there.
Lol speaking from experience Sprite? /hides
His daughter is outraged but "tant pis" for her.
ruby, maybe it will help a little to think he didn't understand being at home either, clamping on to you every step and every minute.
lolol mel :D
did she offer to take him in? NO? then she can shut it
oh, just tell her you will be happy to bring him to her house then, ruby
I hope I can find a more lasting solution as this place is available only for one or two months
Techno is so a word!!
I remember visiting my Mom in the memory unit of the assisted living. There was one woman who said over and over "I want to go home" But they always reacted well to my granddaughter and dogs
thanks mel! I tried that too!
there was a lovely gentleman who stayed for a while at the facility my ex MIL is in in Ireland. in his meticulous pajamas he would always approach my ex and ask him to take him to a pub.

Morning Annie
morning to you too, Molly
your profiles are right on
: D That was yesterday's. I just switched to a Fall scene since it is very Fall-ish around here today.
eat
Not hungry right now, thanks Grant!
oops :(
Good morning all.
good morning, sukee, how are you?
Slowly getting better, still in a bit of pain but it does seem to be lessening, a bit more tolerable.
good news, the start of it getting better
Had a miserable night last night though :) Doctor said to take two pain pills at night but I don't like how dopey I feel in the mornings if I do.
I know. It helps one way and then not the other.
I have cut down my Advil to one a day.
How are you doing?
Did you get the results of you MRI yet?
It was a cat scan, and not yet. I like a cat scan so much better than an MRI, only took 3 minutes :)
Im okay. Was worried we were going to get slammed by Joaquin. Thank goodness that's over.
Yes, I was hearing about that. Good to know.
Im going to start the coffeemaker.
Not liking this puzzle :)
Joaquin, it was like magic. As soon as I went out and stocked up on power outage supplies, that thing changed track. : D
Good for you :)
clue for the no 9 plz...and hello all
hi ives, dont have it
"They" are restless (nana7) stick a prefix in front of that
Oh boy, just na7
Thank you, got both :)
I got it!
got it..ty molly!
I got the no 11
now working on Molly's clue
What are the stats?
no11 is not a word people use very much. Not in the circles I run in anyway.
no 9/72
I meant for the no 11
Molly, I was working on the no 9 and the no 11 was there.
no 11/120
So is the NO11 similar to the no9 (which I now have - thanks!)
I dont have the no9 so I don't know...can you clue the no9...Molly's clue went over my head
Not local, Annie!
I am from the US, but live in the UK. Therefore I am, to the UK, NO9
thanks, will look
What the indigenous people of a country are called by some.
But not that (as it were, for the 9)
yes.
Good morning, everybody:)
Yes to whom, Sukee?
Hello crossy.
I was just adding to your comment :)
Finally got the no 9! Thanks for the clues
Ah hah :) I'm looking for the NO11 but not seeing what in the world it could be
Me neither.
no 11----without imagination
Ah, got it. TY
yw
brb
And that gave me the 8 I had missed.
Not me, yet. Maybe I'm this NO11 myself!
I can't knit, sew or make crafts. I am no11
It builds off the root word of what God did to the world in 7 days
when you paint you are cr******
Got it! Thanks
Time for me to take a break, bbl.
Where is Min when you need her? Today is National Taco Day. Mmm, tacos.
got the no11 ty, but not the no9
Indians are sometimes called na7 Americans. Put a prefix in front of that.
ty Molly, got the no9, dumb word
I agree
help with H under the I pls
and the O in first column, too, pls
Plural of an affectionate term like sweetie, or dear
The o sounds like a bone prefix
ty for ho
If you give a party, you are the ho4 then add a vowel to that
ty for os
ty
eyer
clue for he 7 please
Clue please for no 9/72
gran, Cherokee Na6 American Indians, put 3 letter prefix in front
Annie he7 is a highly cultured courtesan or concubine, especially in ancient Greece. It is rather hard to clue so this will be lame but here goes: he plus a spelling variation of a five letter word for crown
add a vowel to the end for the 8
chris I entered it hetaira and it doesn't exist in this puzzle
wait, wrong vowel, sorry, ty
Well, there is a very specific clue anyway.
annie 3 letter prefix???
can someone reclue the na9 please I have the na6

no idea what it is Trif, but no need, just wishing you all the best
thank you flosey. Just a simple chat to determine the rest of my life, no big whoop. lol
re 5/16, pls
rhymes with what you do when a loved one dies
whoof - c's conquered at LAST
ty hurshy
so the 8s are cr, te, and... ?
st 6/27, first one, pls
Hold it. Back up The Soul Train. This chat DOES NOT determine the rest of your life. It just determines where you go from here.
okay, okay. It feels that way though. so much was determined. plans were made. If none of those happen, my life WILL be very different.
i don't want to pry but, may i ask what we are talking about trif?
meeting with my man today, to decide if we are going on
Yes, and although you may not want that now, very different may be the best thing for you.
Just determining where your life's journey goes from this point...not the whole thing.
im just feeling very frustrated. I thought this was all settled. I was SO happy.
what a pisser.
would this be divorce vs no divorce, or like getting married vs not ?
neither, hurshy. as we are not married, and had no plans to be. we were happy the way we were. until we weren't.
ah
What exactly has gone on to make this situation so?
hes got a HUGE problem and he needs to face it.
Don't all men have problems?
he needs to own it, apologize for the damage done, and make real steps to change. if not? im done.
some problems can't be lived with, bichon
That is right...not YOUR problem to fix. He either addresses it or you move on.
absolutely, and I agree. but it is sad. it IS. he wasn't always like this, and when he was on top of it, we were very, very happy. What a waste.
Help please with the N's in the first two columns?
no9 is foreign. no11 is unable to make anything new, unartsy
st 6/27, first one, pls
oooh! ty
bichon, i only have one of those and it's pretty near the end alphabetically so i doubt mine is it
been trying to monkey more, but no luck so far
ty anyway
lets see, bichon.....its the same letters as the second one, only in a different order
Looking now, bichon....
put the third letter last
ah thanks trif
there you go! if only all problems were this easy to solve....
ty trif!
Trif, just keep your best interests as your priority. I don't think it's in your best interest to move forward with someone who has a huge problem they will not address. And trust me when I tell you (from experience) that people will SAY they are going to address a problem, but then do not.
thank you molly. I am hopeful, but realistic.
Well said, Molly
ty Trif
evening all
Hello ishult!
Erev tov Ishult
looking for 3rd 8. got cr8/60 & te8/50???
he8, but I don't know what it is
hi all, help with E in right column pls
oh you'll get those peri
I must be blind hurshy cause I do not see any of them
i look forward to your nvm :)
they are ev's
duh, ty hursh, got two of them
found a 3rd
found the he7, which builds to the 8, ishult. and it's PUKE. some ancient greek concubine nonsense
it is an odd one to be sure :)
ty trif, I think they have been in grids before
hey crossy
I got the HE 7 & 8
howdy, peri
Good Lord, trif...brain waves ~~~~~~~
wtg car!!!
send loads my way in a couple of hours, will ya?
cans
puke?
its an unpleasant word, mlf
Attempt 247 in getting the parrot to use a bigger bowl for bathing....
drown the damn thing.
I have he5/18?
too harsh?
No, Wade would never forgive me.
they would be reunited? maybe?
He would be so mad. Can't take a haunting with my schedule.
wade would not want you to be miserable either
I'm not miserable. She's a bitch but I love her.
<---Laughing at Trif's response about the parrot
does it have a high point letter in it?
She stayed with the parrot. she hates the thing
the ha mlf? no
Good grief..I still need all the words in the first column. I should really pay attention.
ha4 is a strong word. we didn't bond so much - she needs a LOT of attention!
lol car its the only column I have completed
She wants a lot of attention from ME. If I leave the room and Matt and the boys are in that room, she still screams.
that is the only one that is gray for me too
there you go. my experience as well.
the screaming wore me right out. nope.
It's tough to be the head of the flock.
Sounds like a pet that is too high maintenance for a wife, mother of two and owner of other pets.
PREACH
She really isn't.
I need to take a shower, but I really am in no hurry to start this day....
Clue for the OS 5 please?
sounds bony, to me
car os iner***
I swear I tried that at least 4 times....grrrr.
ty mlf
-----> clearly suffering from iner***
lol trif not good
I only have 20 to go....
There you go! You are being productive, darling!
Hah! Just caught her eating a box on the bookshelf. She looks so ashamed!
if by productive you mean "avoiding any and all required chores and acting like a functioning adult" then yes, I am CRUSHING IT
You go girl!
<---is waiting for football to start in a few hrs
but not the Ducks:)
MLF...It's already started...the Jets are playing from London.
that would rather explain your babble name, mlf
car this is true but not interested in that game
r's routed
15 to go
the Ducks were supposed to play last night they had a lightning delay
OK
You can do it, Heidi!
trif would you like to do my 123 ?
already did
Probably lol
Probably lol
We made homemade meatballs this morning...the house smells so good...from what I can smell with this cold.
I need to get the laundry train going and then get some work done.
s's sunk
pleeeeeez don't go
car my husband and I were going to have meatballs with white rice today but opted for cheese stuffed ravioli
I have a pot of red sauce going. It must be "make Italian" day.
Yup, we have that on the stove too!
I wish I could enjoy raviolis again. :(
Ok, Trif. I'll stay
car we use white sauce
why cant you?
I had an unfortunate "incident" with lasagna. Since then, ricotta and sauce together just don't sit well with me.
what about other types? butternut squash ravioli RULES
car lactose?
You know, Trif, I would be happy to go sit at Wahlburger's and wait for your meeting to be over...
LOVE butternut!!!!
its okay. this is mine to carry
Meat ravioli, lasagne without ricotta (I never put ricotta in mine, I hate the stuff)
<--loves ricotta
You don't have to carry it alone.
Just know that.
thank you.
I do
You are a good sister, Car.
I have to do a couple of dishes...brb...
I have 112 left and have gone brain dead
just found 2
FIREWORKS!!! woot woot
Yay Trif!
OK couple of questions: When does a cookie sheet go from being well "seasoned" to needing to be replaced?
Second: can the bottom of pots/pans wear out?
woo hoo trif!
replace with teflon cookie sheets
I cannot use Teflon with the parrot in the house.
And I think at some point this was a Teflon cookie sheet.
I replace my cookie sheets when they are too seasoned for food to lift off them easily. when everything sticks, they go. However, I will add a caveat (because I can without going to the PB) - I have given some of mine new life by leaving them in my oven and running the self cleaning cycle. they come out ashy, but then I wash them and they are NEW. If you would like to bring them here, I would happily give them a go.
I don't know what to say. It's either the parrot or the teflon
if you are thinking of chucking them anyway, what's the harm?
I always line my cookie sheets now anyway...parchment for baked good, foil for other items.
we are big fans of the airbake cookie sheets at our house
I haven't been baking much as I am on a diet, but will bake for Mr. Bich and the grands
Oh yes, I have a cupcake baker made of that
va 5/16, second one pls
But what about the pot? It's my favorite pot (I think it have had it since 1988). Its a large pot for pasta with a colander in it. Now everything gets stuck on the bottom (when my husband uses it), so he says it needs to go.
yes, and they sell them on Amazon
Waaaaaaaa!
does it have attached handles, or the screwed on kind?
Looking for that VA bichon
ty car
we could try it in the oven....
I covered the wood with VA**ish + a vowel
ok. I can't avoid this any longer. getting up. taking shower. starting slow, but starting. into the fire I go.
You got this! Text/call when you want to.
ty car

Happy babbling everyone. time for me to retire for the evening :-)
hi
hi there
hi all, just checking in...it was a tough grid for me today. my brain must not be functioning well...
hello....
*passes out .. no lobster till MAY !!!*
ha....had a lobster roll on wed....sis in law had one last night...
hello
hi doren
deal at the restaurant tonight....two one and a half pound lobster, corn on the cob and a veggie for 24.95....
hi...
ru, had a really nice sicilian rosso last night. scinniri. (italian friend made a seriously good meat sauce for pasta and was very proud of the wine)
If I lived in Maine.. I would live on lobster
ah pen, I don't even need to check to see where you are... only in Maine!
i eat a lot of it being on the coast....
nice doren.. I'm not too familiar with Sicilian wines
$24.95 won't even buy you a lobster appetizer out here
Oh Doren.. I ate at Torc on Monday.. it was incredible.. took two friends for dinner there.
i thought it was a pretty good deal because they were larger than those often found in restaurant meals...
<---culinary adventures of Penquis and Ru
poor ruru... what's the rule? no lobster in months containing an "r"?
I hardly ever have lobster.. really only a few places out here really know how to cook it.. and those are pretty pricey places I don't often go to
i understand...
torc!! deliciousness!
it was really something this time..
didn't we have lobster at laundry? I have vague recollections
oh, like it was really nothing when we were there?
we did.. that's one of them.. but I don't eat there weekly
Might not be in California this spring... if we're doing a family week there in July, and I'm about to book a cruise of Greece/Turkey that I'm uber excited about.
I'm telling you Doren .. it was even better than when you guys went
oh bummer
ok, i can believe that if you say so. but it was certainly good enough for me! and us!
I'll have to take David to the Laundry instead then
cruel!
you don't "have" to take anyone there, or is Keller putting you in thumb screws?
doren: eating goat cheese David and ru foie gras :D
haha.
I do have to make an appearance there.. soon with the new buyer
but i will enjoy my goat cheese and know that foie gras will occur again someday.
new wine buyer?
I'm still trying to lose weight.. I'm 12 pounds lighter than when you last saw me
yep.. new wine Buyer.. Dennis left to start his own restaurant
hmmm maybe i'll come in february? have to escape the cold in february... was thinking about south, but I suppose I could come west. particularly if you need someone to hang with while wooing the new buyer.
I'm sure Dennis's restaurant will be terrific as well?
<---good at sales technique :D
so am I ( 12 - 15 pounds lighter than last March)
oh.. Dennis' restaurant will be fantastic too. opens next year.
I need to drop another 10 pounds to be happy
i just finished the grid. fw. and going now to get stuff done. I have court tomorrow morning. good luck on that 10 pounds.
wouldn't want you to be unhappy!
thanks.. take care. I have to work on taxes and am avoiding it

i am so ill, i cannot believe i am babbling.
!! what's wrong?
headache neary all day. strnge
ooh, so sorry TO
You don't need to do this with a headache...pull down the blinds and go to bed with some soothing music
i finally broke down and took a tylenol. it is the only thing i am allowed and I use it sparinly
only the headache? no fever or other symptoms?
that's terrible TO... does it have anything to do with low pressure systems?
yup, I get sinus headaches with weather changes
i thought it was lack of sleep. i had a very busy day but about 5 it struck me down. i rarely get a headache
Bye all. Look after yourself TOwl
Does anyone have a clue for the singleton n in the first column?
(are you dehydrated - and i know you well enough to know that you sometimes forget to eat - did you eat?)
i did. i woke up with it
lack of sleep will do it... also dehydration, or less caffeine than usual...common triggers
wht, I think that one is the no9.72, someone who was not born in the country
Thanks aloy. That was a twofer.
wahoo..
And now fireworks
wht...bonus points to you! gettting both of those from one little hint... wow!
congratulations wht!
yay for wht, 9 to go for me
wtg wht
bye lyn. ty for the clue
no other symptom.
I hope you feel better soon TO. take care!
ditto - probably should turn the computer off, can't be helping things
ty. i need 5, i will shamelessly beg soon
you have a headache too welki?
no shame in begging TO...especially when you are trying to soldier on...
no, i was echoing you - that i hope she feels better soon
ty for the clarification; thought I missed something in the chog...
i cannot find a four letter word. :/
That's the worst... so frustrating....
prediction: it will be a fish...
