I think that suddenly having to take care of me while he is not well himself is getting to him

3:02 am

yeah, i can understand that.

3:03 am

me too. Still, not okay for him to be acting out like that.

3:03 am

lol ru, guess not

3:03 am

I was trying to couch that joke just right

3:04 am

you did that very wheel

3:06 am

slept well, rose, but lots of pain this morning. Waiting for the painkillers to kick in. Kinda sucks to have another full week of this to look forward to. Can't wait for that darn surgery.

3:07 am

surgery?

3:08 am

I went and broke my ankle, ru, and bad enough that they cannot set it without surgery and lots of metalworks.

3:08 am

oh boy.. bad news

3:09 am

bad luck for sure. Doc said the leaves will be falling before I can navigate a few steps again.

3:10 am

sounds painful

3:11 am

yeah. It is nasty.

3:15 am

the other ankle got contorted too, so right now I cannot move about at all. Once that one has healed, I should be able to get around on crutches. For now, a wheelchair. Ugh.

3:26 am

ah, the oddbal he8 is back

3:42 am

and back...oh the demands of grandkiddies....loll. dinner is over... bath time soon

3:42 am

quiche a success?

3:44 am

i'm trying to remember what happened when i broke my ankle. plaster for 7 weeks, then a moon boot to my knee for six months. i was weight-bearing after the plaster. surgeon put in three staples and a roofing screw.

3:45 am

quiche no go with Braxton. Claudia ate about half hers. both had toast and now are demolishing a plate of fresh fruit. they have been grazing all afternoon so i didn't expect them to eat a big dinner.

3:45 am

will hear more after monday. But so far, they said they might not put it in plaster after the surgery. Just pressure bandages. not sure what that will mean for mobility.

3:46 am

oh, ye4ah, i had to wear the moon boot even in bed...that was fun......... not

3:47 am

ikr. Not much fun in the whole thing, lol.

3:47 am

i had to swap si4s with don. it was my left foot, and i couldn't bear the weight of the blankets on it.

3:49 am

oh, btw, we do not have the 600+ paracetamols here. But teh

3:49 am

but the 500 will do

4:01 am

have to go.... Brax has had an accident in his jocks. bath time and gloves time... loll... luvsya

4:08 am

luvsya right back :D

4:32 am

fireflies. Have a blessed day, all, and a peaceful night.

5:13 am

te

5:59 am

gm, clue for the he8/55 plz?

6:01 am

The tale of a girl

6:01 am

omg, really? thank you!

6:02 am

I never see that one because it seems so grammatically incorrect : D

6:02 am

it seems rather cliche.

6:08 am

Hi everyone...thanks Molly for that clue.....its ridiculous that they say thats a word...

6:28 am

TX Molly

6:45 am

Well, that word is in the OED :)

6:59 am

It goes back at least to the 70s

7:01 am

and besides coming into common usage, it has a singular definition, a neologism

7:02 am

Personally, I find it absurd and politically speaking, annoying.

7:06 am

Considering that the derivation of the "his" word has nothing to do with males, I'm not a big fan of the "her" version

7:13 am

same as the misuse of "man" as male instead of "manual"

7:13 am

If i remember from those days of the 70s the male word is for whats past and the female is of what is to come.

7:14 am

no, really?

7:15 am

Oh, what ruru could make of that!

7:16 am

"no" ! !.... just my take on it lol.....

7:17 am

ah. You caught me - i lived in Japan for most of the 70s. Frankly, I never thought I'd missed much.

7:19 am

we need to laugh at ourselves occasionally. And i could`nt resist a chance to throw my 2 penith in.

7:19 am

That's it, laydees and gemmun, I'm off work and mentally almost home in bed. 93 left for when I wake.

7:21 am

Ha. (I have a friend who sometimes lisps when she writes)

7:21 am

*poof*

7:22 am

hello

7:22 am

2 penith is an old pre decimal coinage saying

7:25 am

Well, I just have to say that any guy who has two, has more than he can handle. : D

7:28 am

nbt

7:34 am

does the he 8 begin with he 4 ending in a vowel or a cons?

7:53 am

It's a biggie! Just what I needed for such a yucky day!

7:55 am

hi all sunny and windy here

9:57 am

ok

9:57 am

fo 8/70, pls

9:57 am

Making vegetable broth is a great way to get some use out of leftover vegetables. It make the house smell good too.

9:57 am

indeed

9:58 am

fo8 - ends with what you have to mow in summer

9:58 am

and to think I just started making it last year, what a waste of food. oh well

9:58 am

What are you making today, Molly?

9:59 am

lawn or grass are not in the grid

9:59 am

Beef burgandy

But your American way of saying back garden (or front garden) is...

9:59 am

It ends with a football measurement

9:59 am

Where your grass grows, peri

9:59 am

ok

10:00 am

ty Molly

10:00 am

My leftover veg scraps go into the freezer to feed the worm farm.

10:00 am

ty all

10:00 am

Sounds yummy, Molly.

10:00 am

I would love to compost. Not that feasible in a small space though.

10:01 am

You have a worm farm Bea. Would like to have one

10:01 am

what do you do with the worms, Bzz?

10:02 am

I compost and it doesn't take that much space. I bought a compost bin

10:02 am

I have a large compost at the garden and then the worm farm in the basement.

10:02 am

Peri, I use the waste from the worms as a fertilizer.

10:02 am

What do you feed the worms?

10:03 am

ok

10:03 am

It's not the space, it's the smell. If I did composting it would be far away from where my living space was.

10:03 am

Scraps of whatever...

10:03 am

I have thought of composting too but I live in an apt

10:03 am

I only use vegetable matter and there's no odor

10:04 am

I don't use meat scrapts as it would attract vermin

10:04 am

Banana peels, veggie peels, some egg shells...

10:04 am

If you compost correctly, there is no smell.

10:05 am

Don't use egg shells, but everything else. I used to go to a farm to get llama dung

10:05 am

Bichon, do you add your vaccum waste to the compost?

10:06 am

No, have nough compost. At my age, I'm not doing any major garden projects

10:06 am

How is it that rotting vegetable matter doesn't smell?

10:07 am

I also add wet newspaper, spoiled milk, used paper towels...

10:07 am

You add dirt to the compost and turn it. There's no smell, trust me

10:08 am

Don't use milk or wet newspaper.

10:08 am

You have to get a good "burn" going with green matter and soil. Adding cardboard also helps eliminate the smell.

10:09 am

I can't say I've ever had a smell, but my dog likes the smell

10:09 am

I don't use a lot of milk as we don't have it often. I peel my potatoes over newspaper in the sink and then roll it up to throw in the compost.

10:10 am

it is one of the common misconceptions re compost - that it smells. I've never seen smelly ones, lots around here

10:11 am

Disposal at my house is a major production...=)

10:11 am

ty for the fo8

10:11 am

How quickly does the newspaer degrade. I just recycle it

10:11 am

but we compost through city pickup

10:13 am

It degrades pretty quickly, especailly if wet. Last week when I turned the compost, there was no newspaper evident and I usually add some every week.

10:13 am

Ca is great about that. They even take meat scras

10:14 am

We have to scrounge the neighborhood for newspapers. We take them from others recycle bins as we don't take the paper.

10:14 am

anything that once lived is composted

10:15 am

and most take out containers, utensils, straws, etc here now are also composted

10:15 am

That's the way I do it, kje...

10:15 am

good morning all

10:15 am

between recycle here and compost, we have actual landfill to take out only about once/month

10:16 am

California rules

10:16 am

gm cyber

10:17 am

We only have landfill about every two weeks. But it goes out weekly because of doggie poo...

10:18 am

good point

10:18 am

I'd love to have a dog, but with the hours we keep it would be tough

10:19 am

89 left...back for those during basketball...bzz...

10:20 am

wouldn't mind a small dog if I didn't have to walk it in the winter.

10:21 am

doggy treadmill?

10:21 am

lol

10:26 am

hi cyber

10:30 am

no --- have always had cats and love them, but in our new place they have to stay indoors and I can't do that to one -- I think that constitutes cruelty to the animal.

10:31 am

it doesn't nan.. it's better for the cats to be indoors and safer

10:32 am

ask any veterinarian

10:33 am

don't see how they can be happier -- their natural inclination is to establish a territory and hunt. We'd probably have fewer mice and rats around if we were allowed cats!

10:34 am

they also get into fights, and hit by cars and eaten by coyotes and harmed in other ways besides being exposed to ticks and fleas

10:35 am

guess we just never had that happen to our cats

10:36 am

Doesn't the same thing apply to dogs, Ru?

10:36 am

cats are quite happy in a house and set up territory there

10:36 am

i believe in indoor dogs too.. mine are.. i do take them for walks but they're in the house with me 24/7 otherwise

10:37 am

I'm not an animal person, but I just feel like anything that breathes needs fresh air on a regular basis. That's just me. I know a lot of people keep what they call "indoor cats".

10:38 am

they get lots of air .. i take them out often..several times per day.. my dogs like to be where i am .. at my feet and sleeping

10:39 am

ruru, same here. He slees in our bed.

10:39 am

i don't take them out to pee as much as Une does :D

10:41 am

Mine goes out 4 times a day. If we go somewhere isolated, he can roam free

10:42 am

i think une's dogs have tiny bladders :D

10:43 am

hello friends. HIDEOUS cold. happy to have a fat grid to amuse me

10:43 am

budgie bladders

10:43 am

(gives weight watcher pamphlets to grid)

10:44 am

horrors ruru! fat grids rule!

10:45 am

<---wait till trif hits 50 on the grid

10:45 am

10:47 am

ok, time for breakfast - bbl

No matter what is being discussed here (compost) it always works it's way back to food : D

10:52 am

joining kje at the breakfast table...

10:52 am

102 in, ruru, in case you are interested?

10:53 am

10:54 am

10:56 am

those th words were beastly

10:56 am

huzzah for dan2!

10:59 am

all the cats y hubby and I have had are indoor. I agree with ruru cats should be kept indoors its safer

11:00 am

How many cats is that?

11:00 am

trif the j has me stumped I have jo 4 and that's it

11:00 am

gotta be careful with an indoor hubby. we can get cranky

11:00 am

Oh never mind, you said have had. I thought you meant you had many cats now.

11:00 am

ja 4 ja 5, jo 4, jo 4

11:01 am

molly we have had two at once but only one now Both of those died and this one caee from a liter

11:01 am

trif clue thre ja 5 pls?

11:01 am

plural of the ja4.sorry, that's all I have

11:02 am

I know people who keep a lot more than two, and I don't know how they do it.

11:02 am

But I have kids since I was a little girl

11:02 am

molly they are nuts lol

11:03 am

I'm sure you meant cats (not kids) MLF. We don't want to think about little girls having kids. : O

11:03 am

ty trif that is two I didn't have

11:05 am

molly I have wanted both in my life but not too many at the same time. At one int growing up, we had two dogs and two cats. One was a big dog the other a little dog. The cats were of normal size of course lol

11:05 am

kids since you were a little girl.. your husband should be arrested

11:05 am

:D

11:06 am

found my first nine, tra la la

11:06 am

isn't a kid a baby animal of some kind?

11:06 am

congrats trif

11:06 am

a kid is a baby goat, mlf, right you are!

11:07 am

well that is something my mother said she had wanted .. goats I haven't heard anything about that recently and she isn't home enough to take care of them anyway

11:09 am

well if a push comes to a chevre mlf

11:09 am

i would absolutely love to have goats, but I have many, many plants on my land that are harmful to them, poor things.

11:11 am

trif i think the plants would be easier to take care of lol

11:13 am

they grow wild everywhere. it's a bummer

11:14 am

goats are absolutely fantastic with poison ivy, for example they eat it all day, no issues.

11:14 am

I forget that people refer to pets as their kids.

11:15 am

and goats run wild too Goats you have to catch at times plants you don't at all

11:15 am

maybe a pig -- pet and scrap disposal all in one go

11:15 am

molly i never refer to my cats as my kids but a lot of people do

11:15 am

My nephew and his wife have 8 acres. They keep goats. And (alas) it looks like those are going to be their kids as well.

11:15 am

cyber i have always wanted a pig or a rabbit

11:16 am

trust me mlf, there are PLENTY of plants in my yard that have run wild indeed.

11:16 am

Okay MLF, I was confused. You said you have had kids since you were a little girl.

11:16 am

but you don't have to chase those

11:18 am

yay.. i closed out the R's

11:19 am

well done, ruru

11:19 am

11:22 am

molly two humans here and a cat

11:22 am

grew up with cats and dogs mostly cats

11:23 am

we had a slew of animals growing up, from horses on down. I am allergic to cats as an adult, unfortunately

11:23 am

11:27 am

He8 the tale of a girl

11:27 am

we had a cat lady in our neighborhood. no idea how many she had but she passed away. She was a very odd person Couldn't tell you anything about the cats in terms of where they went. Some did roam around in neighbors backyards for a while

11:28 am

it's an illness to have a lot of cats unless you're a rescue organization

11:28 am

molly can you elaborate at all on that please?

11:28 am

ruru very true

11:28 am

I call foul on that he8...goofy!!! Thank you Molly.

11:29 am

Starts with a female word, ends with a word that means tale

11:29 am

Hence, the tale of a girl

11:30 am

Nan, thank you and BuzznBea again for the sewing tips. I just tried the 10 needle on the chiffon pants and I cannot believe the difference!! (Of course, it helped simply that I changed the needle for the first time ... ever - lol!) Anyway, straight, tension free, no snarled thread - thank you again! Oh, and I used the chalk and also pulled the pins as I went.

3:38 pm

I'll have those starches for you...

3:43 pm

We are having potatos soup with grilled homemade pimento cheese sandwiches.

4:14 pm

I love potato soup. Especially on a cold day.

4:19 pm

We got a lot of potatoes and HUDGE carrots in a CSA box this week...

4:20 pm

I walk a thin line on potato soup as my Hubs likes his thick and my mom likes hers thinn.

4:28 pm

I'm in the thick camp. With lots of onion and bacon in it. My potato soup is not for the lo-cal, lo-carb types.

4:29 pm

We have a CSA farm nearby, but you get too much in the boxes for two people.

4:29 pm

My son did a work study program there and loved it.

4:42 pm

Can you not designate how many people you have in your CSA, Molly?

4:43 pm

Are there neighbors you can share with?

4:43 pm

I'm all about feeding hungry people...

4:45 pm

For this farm it's not about how many people are in it. You pay a designated fee and you get so many boxes depending on which program you sign up for. The farm is supported by community donations.

4:46 pm

Most of my neighbors are the "eat out a lot" type. They don't cook much.

4:47 pm

That's nice that you can have fresh produce like that. I assume it is a variety depending on what is in season?

4:49 pm

It is only available during the summer/early fall months. The boxes also contain several things we don't eat, like eggplant and zucchini.

4:49 pm

You don't eat eggplant or zucchini!? WTH?!

4:50 pm

Eggplant and zucchini....yum!!

4:51 pm

On our table weekly!

4:53 pm

I think the only recipe most people think when eggplant is mentioned is eggplant parm.

4:55 pm

to the list i go with 65 left

4:56 pm

I add a generous amount of chopped zucchini and eggplant to veggie chili and veggie spaghetti sauce

4:57 pm

...and am already saying "gah! how did i miss that one"

4:58 pm

I like to make big pots and freeze in summer when homegrown tomatoes abound!!

4:59 pm
