For those interested in my beloved Elegant's grad photos from yesterday, here are a few for you to enjoy on a slideshow in FB http://tinyurl.com/j2dc46r
7:59 am
Judi
Congratulations to Elegant! Well done!
7:59 am
Judi
Are you having a graduation party, Crossy?
8:00 am
crosshair
There is a party in our building because we have a person living in the building who was also part of that graduating class. think we shall combine them.
8:02 am
Judi
*Holds out champagne flute* Let's get on with it then!
8:03 am
crosshair
Another good thing is it will be all people from within the building, so should anyone over-indulge, it is a simple matter of stumbling down the hall, careening into the elevator, and making sure you enter your own apartment and not someone else's. ;)
8:04 am
crosshair
You are always welcome, Judi. Will save you a glass or 3
8:06 am
crosshair
Pot-luck and B.Y.O.B, so i will do the sensible thing and bring a large bottle of vodka and a package of fig newtons--will keep the scurvy away while I party. :)
8:07 am
Judi
LOL. Vodka and fig newtons. Interesting combo.
8:08 am
crosshair
I am told they pair better with single malt whiskey, but I adapt as needed.
8:08 am
Judi
Fig Newton infused vodka.
8:09 am
Judi
Personally, I despise fig newtons. Hubby loves them. Never could understand the appeal.
8:09 am
crosshair
well, infused in the stomach
8:09 am
hurshy
i'm with you judi
8:09 am
hurshy
fresh figs with a nice cheese, i can go for
8:10 am
hurshy
but newtons, blech
8:10 am
Judi
They came in handy when we needed to hide a pill in them for the last dog.
8:10 am
crosshair
I do not care for "infused" spirits. I am old enough to remember when vodka only came in vodka flavour, and that is how i prefer it. :)
8:10 am
Judi
Aren't you the one who made bacon infused vodka???
8:11 am
crosshair
er... I may have...
8:11 am
crosshair
it was just an experiment
8:11 am
crosshair
a tasty one :)
8:11 am
crosshair
Now bacon is way too expensive
8:11 am
crosshair
yes, you busted me.
8:11 am
Judi
I bought some bacon marmalade recently. It is to die for!
8:12 am
crosshair
saw my first $7 dollar 3/4 of a pound of bacon the other day. they are not even "pounds" anymore at 454 g, they cut them to 375g and spread the meat out in the package more. But $7 ??!! no thank you!
8:13 am
Judi
Yowch. That is some pricey pork.
8:13 am
crosshair
it must have golden hooves.
8:14 am
Judi
Although... I admit to recently purchasing a 2 lb loin of ostrich for the outrageous sum of $52.00.
8:14 am
crosshair
Pound for pound, a lean, Angus roast of beef is less expensive now...
8:15 am
crosshair
lol, Our stores, sadly, do not carry ostrich meat
8:16 am
Judi
I had to go to one of the butcher shops in Little Italy in Philadelphia to find it. My husband refuses to try it, but it is soooooo delicious.
8:17 am
crosshair
Though, even if they did, I do not think my family would go for it. Would be like offering them koala frittes :)
8:18 am
Judi
Have you ever had it? It is akin super tender filet mignon. Not a white bird meat by any stretch.
8:18 am
crosshair
Nope, I cannot say that i have had the experience.
8:18 am
Judi
Better than emu, I might add.
8:19 am
crosshair
Nor have I had emu. I must live a sheltered carnivore life lol
8:19 am

There is more to life than pea meal bacon, you neanderthal.

crosshair
generally it is a survival meat only and not commonly eaten. :)
8:24 am
phaeton
help with the an8 pls
8:24 am
Judi
Haven't had snake yet. Willing to try it. Porcupine would be difficult to dequill/skin. Too much effort. The quills are quite pretty though.
8:25 am
crosshair
Snake is very tasty, You clean it much like you would prepare a fish, skin it, cube it and batter it as you like, then you deep fry or pan-fry the chunks
8:26 am
crosshair
Apologies to all the vegetarians in our midst, btw.
8:27 am
Judi
My husband would be horrified ( he's deathly afraid of snakes ). I'll try just about any type of food.
8:28 am
bichon
We watch "Naked and Afraid". Lot of times someone catches a snake or an eel
8:29 am

Shark fin soup is very nice(yes we used the entire fish) and used traditional methods in catching and preparing) Was many years ago.

Your icon is showing up fine here Nan. Expert has a problem with updated icons. Maybe someone who uses Expert should let Lickety know.

I'm on a borrowed laptop at the moment, but my old desktop has been resuscitated...
8:24 pm
crosshair
Last year or so, I have been resurrecting old ,broken computers from my electronic junk closet. Playing on a venerable Eight year old machine that has vista on it as its last os :)
8:25 pm
crosshair
Has a whopping 40 gig hd as well :)
8:25 pm
Jellen
My desktop is eight years old as well...slow as molasses!
8:26 pm
crosshair
Lol, I just keep jamming parts from different old machines together till I get one that works--frankenputer :)
8:28 pm
crosshair
Wish you were closer, would give your old machine a d&c for you
8:28 pm
Jellen
I might try upgrading the RAM if I'm brave.
8:29 pm
crosshair
Ram is a fast way to revive old machines :)
8:29 pm
crosshair
Stuff the dimm slots with as mush as your os can handle
8:29 pm

It was slow before, but a friend put Windows 10 on it.

8:31 pm
Jellen
I think Windows 7
8:33 pm
crosshair
Mm, I am still using 7 pro on all my machines. Ihave a "builders copy" so I can throw it on multiple units as needed:)
8:34 pm
Jellen
I know just enough about pcs to be frustrated. lol
8:35 pm
crosshair
10 is a tad invasive for my liking; you really have to delve deep and adjust those settings
8:35 pm
crosshair
I know just enough to be dangerous :)
8:36 pm
Jellen
Oh really?
8:37 pm
crosshair
Was ripped off by a repair shop many years ago, and I vowed to never let that happen again, so I learned enough to build my own and maintain the.m

Hello all. I got laptop use back just today when a new charging cable came in the mail!
10:57 pm

My desktop is out of commission at the moment, and that is sad, because that's where I deal with my phots.
10:59 pm

Ah.. those were old comments and there is no one he4! LOL

I am so glad the little ones are doing well. :-) Those first years dragged by when my kiddos were little, but I have a million happy memories of those days.
11:20 pm

m9, what is wrong with your desktop? I know how important your photos are to you!
11:28 pm
jesdraggon
how's things?
11:30 pm
stidmama
for me - doing a LOT better than I was. I was able to go outside a few times -- drove to town once to get berries, and rode in with Mother later so she could run an errand. My face only hurts a little bit, occasionally, now.
11:30 pm
stidmama
how about in your corner of the world?
11:33 pm
jesdraggon
glad it's getting better, stid :) I have only had 1 bad allergic outbreak (rash on face, neck, chest). It was sucky. I'm really glad I don't have them more, and sad that you do
11:35 pm
stidmama
I am glad it's resolving -- was worried for a while I would have to cancel a silk painting day next week... but although the house and yard won't be as beautiful as I would like, I will have the energy to have my friends over, which is the real point. :-D If you were closer, would invite you!
11:36 pm
jesdraggon
silk painting?
11:36 pm
jesdraggon
crap, sorry
11:37 pm
stidmama
Yes, you know -- the silk scarves I used to paint. Just got new paints and brushes since the fire. Looking forward to having fun again.
11:38 pm
jesdraggon
oh, that sounds fun :)
11:38 pm
stidmama
Mother also decided to get me new stretchers and some pre-framed silk (circles and squares) for hanging in windows.
I think it WILL be fun -- always good to have art in the summertime.
11:39 pm
stidmama
Hoping to do another session in August, too.
11:39 pm
stidmama
Love the pic of Ozy -- what a handsome cat!
