jeanne314

g'mornin', sprite!

12:51 am

sprite

hiya jeanne!

12:54 am

jeanne314

rather quiet here tonight. Robespierre clued the un8/9...however, I kept staring at the wrong N. Even with the best of help, I can still trip over myself! So a little convo to shake up the brain is in order! I hope all is well in your part of the world!

12:55 am

sprite

all good here. Winter is rather mild, lots of rain but not too much snow and ice. I heard that Rose's part of the world reached 41 degrees celsius today! Ughhhhh.

12:55 am

sprite

I hate heat. I can manage cold. I do not know how to manage heat.

12:56 am

jeanne314

OMG! That is hot! I agree with you...Cold, however uncomfortable, is preferable to too hot. As my dad used to say, you can always put on another sweater, but you can only take off just so much...

12:57 am

ursh

agree sprite - much easier to warm up than to cool off in high heat and humidity - we have summer temps often in the high 30's C but also very humid - very tiring

12:58 am

jeanne314

Hello, ursh! Humidity is difficult as well, although my skin prefers it!

12:58 am

sprite

exactly! And if you move around a bit and wave your arms energetically, you warm up. But what to do when too hot? It rarely gets around 40 here, but it is always humid. So even when it is 30 C, I feel like there is an elephant sitting on my neck. Ceiling fan, lots of cold drinks and not doing much of anything.

12:59 am

sprite

hiya ursh! Exactly!

1:00 am

jeanne314

So winter is my season of woodstove, soup, dogs, sewing, reading, and being with my beloved. To be honest, my summers are the same except no woodstove, LOL!

1:00 am

jeanne314

I live a pretty tame life.

1:00 am

sprite

me too. And the older I get, the more I appreciate and prefer a tame life.

1:04 am

jeanne314

Especially in our country now, too much craziness (seriously, I think most of us have lost our minds) around, and my goal is just to survive until rationality takes hold again. Seems to be happening everywhere. Babble is one of my favorite places.

1:05 am

sprite

the world is a truly crazy place at the moment. Very worrisome.

1:06 am

sprite

and not only in America. I just got invited to donate and join the zentangle benefit for Africa Youth Rising. Wherever you look in the world more closely, whole groups of people need support.

1:07 am

mkg

Jeanne, sounds great. I also enjoy more and more just being home.

1:07 am

jeanne314

it is. I know since the dawn of time people have felt like "end times" are just around the corner...or things have never been worse. And we

1:07 am

jeanne314

...sorry! ...we've always come through to fight another day. So I'm staying positive.

1:07 am

mkg

Be careful wtih the africa youth rising group. They can be doing things you would not approve of.

1:08 am

sprite

most benefits do, tbh. I hope they also do a lot of good.

1:08 am

jeanne314

What's that? I've never heard of them.

1:10 am

sprite

they aim to break the cycle of poverty by giving education, healthcare and other resources to young people. Lots of children are abandoned because their family just cannot feed them. Lots of bad orphanages too.

1:11 am

jeanne314

Is there a centralized group or leadership? They sound like they have great goals. Any hidden agendas involved?

1:13 am

jeanne314

(referring back to your comment about doing things one might not approve of.)

1:14 am

sprite

yes, a non profit with central leadership. They invest into several projects. I have no doubt not every penny will go where I would like and there may be hidden agendas. But overall, looks like a good thing to support.

1:15 am

jeanne314

Thank you for mentioning this. I am going to do a little googling on them now. We learn so little about anything global here. If you're not curious enough to actively find news about the rest of the world, you'll learn very little. You know, we're the center of the universe here (not)!

1:16 am

sprite

my child in law's family is from there and they told me they know several families that were helped.

1:17 am

jeanne314

At least some good reports from near first-hand sources, that is good. I will say good night for now, and do a little reading on this group! Cheers, all!

1:18 am

sprite

lol jeanne, yeah, that is something I have noticed in Americans. I think, when your country is so huge, compasses so many mini countries (states) and your political leader has such a great say in the world politics, it is easy to think that the world circles around you. Or that everybody speaks your language.
Of course, we in the Netherlands are so incredibly small and stick our nose into everybody's business.

1:18 am

sprite

night jeanne, sleep well!

1:20 am

jeanne314

I loved my short visit to Holland back in the '80s...I lived in England at the time. I am fortunate to have lived in a few different countries, and that gives one a perspective on the world...for which I am grateful! Uh, stick your nose into everybody's business? Other that the Dutch East India Company, uh, huh? Never thought of you folks that way, LOL!

1:23 am

sprite

lol well, we do. Every international event or problem, we are there. We have a big mouth for such a small country.

1:25 am

jeanne314

Everybody's favorite auntie or wise uncle, maybe! We all need those as well.

1:25 am

sprite

*grins*

1:25 am

jeanne314

G'night for real...till later!

1:25 am

sprite

night night!

1:38 am

grannyrose

* hugs * sprite. how was your night? any better?

2:01 am

sprite

back! Hi darling *hugs* (very cool hugs!)

2:01 am

sprite

nope, bad night again. System overload apparently. Everything hurts too. I sincerely hope Rob can be more active today.

2:04 am

sprite

how are you managing the heat?

2:06 am

grannyrose

oh sweetie. i am so sorry to read this. i wish and pray that i can find a way to help you.

2:07 am

sprite

you are helping, just by being there and caring, honey. No worries. This too shall pass.

2:07 am

grannyrose

managing the heat sitting in front of the A/C. tomorrow i'm not going anywhere.

2:08 am

sprite

very very wise. We were discussing heat before here in chog. For me, it is staying underneath a ceiling fan. I tell you, our next house WILL have one.

2:08 am

sprite

or two

2:09 am

grannyrose

and you do know that you can vent with me, no judgement, no criticism, right?

2:09 am

sprite

absolutely

2:11 am

grannyrose

how's Rob doing? i hope he can pick up the reins for a few days. could you ask him? i honestly feel you need a couple of days just R&R.

2:14 am

sprite

yeah well, the problem is he seriously hurt himself by dragging all those slabs of stone that were under the container. And I mean seriously. He couldn't walk at all the next day, I had to give him heavy painkillers just to get through the day. He is getting better, he did take Nero for a short walk yesterday and he did the cooking.

2:18 am

sprite

I had the groceries delivered again yesterday, and enough for today as well, so no need to go to the store today

2:19 am

grannyrose

i am sorry he hurt himself but sometimes one just has to suck it up, and put one's own problems on the back burner. you and i do that all the time.

2:20 am

grannyrose

good for you re the groceries. could Nero have 2 short walks in stead of one long one?

2:20 am

sprite

I think women are more inclined to do that. It is probably a genetic trait. When your kids need you, you cannot give in to your own pains and sickness, you have to push through.

2:21 am

sprite

Nero is easy. He loves long walks, but he will accept short ones combined with playing with him in the garden. Tomorrow we will have Lewi here again, that means three long walks at least.

2:21 am

grannyrose

exactly. i was surprised with Don not making a big deal of how sick he was until after i started to recover.

2:22 am

sprite

he is learning! You setting some boundaries works.

2:23 am

sprite

but I will say in Rob's defence, he is inclined to do too much, and not too little. When he is on the couch, white as a sheet and not moving, I know it is BAD.

2:26 am

grannyrose

yes, i hear you.

2:26 am

sprite

and I am so proud of you for doing that. I know it was scary.

2:29 am

grannyrose

egad. temp expected to be 45C northwest of Melbourne. hate to think what it's going to be in our outback areas.

2:30 am

sprite

that is horrid

2:30 am

sprite

fireflies. Fun grid. Much more challenging than I thought at first.

2:30 am

grannyrose

but i am not going to complain considering the cold, wet winter we just had.

2:31 am

grannyrose

* hugs * sprite

2:31 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!

2:31 am

sprite

welllll neither is fun. Moderation, Big Guy. Moderation. Nice gentle winters. Nice gentle summers. Not that hard. Hmmpfff.

2:31 am

grannyrose

some unusual words this flip.

2:32 am

grannyrose

giggles

2:32 am

sprite

yes and some normal ones that were so twisty, I did not see them until the very end, lol.

2:33 am

sprite

*hugs* my darling. Sleep well. Stay cool. Most things can be left undone.

2:33 am

grannyrose

ditto. the un 8,9 combo for instance.

2:33 am

sprite

yes!

2:33 am

grannyrose

yes ma'am

2:34 am

grannyrose

love you honey. will be thinking of you, and my prayers too, of course.

hurshy

i had those as well, welki!

9:54 am

rururocks

really interesting... he is a talented chef and a really nice guy.. there must have been 30 bottles of wine opened too

9:54 am

BzznBea

Wow.

9:55 am

rururocks

he uses a lot of varieties of peppers and pickled stuff to augment his food.. Just the right amount of heat too. he made a bolognese and it was fantastic

9:55 am

hurshy

ack

9:55 am

rururocks

ack?

9:56 am

hurshy

i'm an HSP, my senses are more sensitive than normal, so the right amount of heat for me is pretty much zero. and i hate pickled anything.

9:57 am

rururocks

what's HSP?

9:57 am

hurshy

Highly Sensitive Person

9:57 am

rururocks

oh.

9:57 am

rururocks

that's too bad you're missing out on a lot of flavor

9:58 am

hurshy

well, you can look at it either way. i'm missing out on certain flavors, but you're missing out on others. i'm able to appreciate subtle flavors that you might find too bland

9:58 am

rururocks

he put a lot of nuts in several things so I couldn't eat them though

9:59 am

rururocks

i have a pretty good palate hursh very well trained. I'm good with subtle stuff too

10:00 am

welki

<--- has no taste. ask anyone :D

10:02 am

hurshy

anyone done with the lower A?

10:02 am

rururocks

yes ne

10:02 am

rururocks

me that is

10:03 am

hurshy

i'm missing two - any thoughts on what they are likely to be?

10:04 am

rururocks

one is an old english spelling of butt and the other a an6/18 that's a babblet we have all the time

10:08 am

hurshy

10:16 am

hurshy

10:17 am

swmbo

The G5’s are all plurals

10:17 am

rururocks

oh jeez i had the plural

10:17 am

hurshy

swmbo is in an imaginary world today

10:17 am

swmbo

Oh! Except one, sorry!

10:17 am

hurshy

don't forget the bl5, swmbo, that's not plural either

10:18 am

swmbo

Yes, I was not proofing before sending, sorry

10:18 am

hurshy

as well as the one ruru just found of course

10:19 am

swmbo

What can I say? I am an imperfect person lol

10:20 am

rururocks

just enough fight in this grid to be fun

10:20 am

hurshy

well the funniest part was the fact that you said G instead of B and we haven't even got a G today

10:20 am

Shirlockc

i was v confused by that G/B

10:20 am

hokie carla

have we complained about about the hawaiian goose not being pluralizable?

10:20 am

Shirlockc

i thought i was playing the wrong grid

10:21 am

rururocks

no we haven't

10:21 am

swmbo

Yes, I know. I hate Babbling on my iPad, I seem to hit the wrong letter often.

10:21 am

hurshy

ob7 is a silly word

10:21 am

rururocks

we should tell Dr God to take a gander at it

10:21 am

origami

I complain about it to myself all the time.

10:21 am

hurshy

maybe it's like fish, where the plural of fish is just fish

10:21 am

hokie carla

ob7? I don't see a b next to an o

10:22 am

rururocks

he probably wouldn't give a flock though

10:22 am

hurshy

uh, i meant or7

10:22 am

Shirlockc

you're being drakeconian ruru

10:22 am

hurshy

10:23 am

hokie carla

confused by this F

10:23 am

swmbo

Lol

10:23 am

hurshy

yeah there's an fo4/9 and pl

10:23 am

rururocks

if I ever got the ne plural on a grid I'd get goosebumps for sure

10:24 am

hokie carla

and phantom tsetse

10:24 am

Shirlockc

it'll be a feather in my cap

10:24 am

hokie carla

shut it down, people

10:25 am

rururocks

oh we bugged hookie..that's the coup de foie gras

10:26 am

hokie carla

I realize my pun was very subtle, but if it walks like a duck..

10:26 am

swmbo

Honk honk

10:27 am

rururocks

If we keep it up Hurshy will go quackers

10:28 am

swmbo

Let’s not ruffle her feathers

10:28 am

rururocks

agreed... like a wing on a prayer it is

10:29 am

origami

These puns gave me a gaggle

10:29 am

rururocks

that should be my swan song really I have things to do

10:29 am

Shirlockc

i think it's a grebeous error to stop

10:30 am

rururocks

we're all gosling for positions here

10:31 am

swmbo

As long as no one cries fowl

10:31 am

BzznBea

Went away to fix breakfast.

10:31 am

hurshy

it really doesn't cygnetfy whether you stay or go ruru

10:31 am

BzznBea

Ru, I like pickled veg and such. Seems to be a trend in cooking.

10:32 am

rururocks

that's not the Anser swmbo

10:32 am

Shirlockc

you don't need to crow about it

10:32 am

swmbo

Just trying to feather my nest

10:33 am

Shirlockc

i had a late breakfast myself so i'm not raven-ous

10:33 am

rururocks

yeah bea it seems to be a big deal lately.. i've noticed it.. there's also a lot of nut inclusion that I have to be careful about. I just ate at a restaurant and every single salad and entree had nuts

10:33 am

hurshy

it's weird that that would be the case when nut allergies have been on the rise in general

10:34 am

swmbo

What a bunch of bird brains!

10:34 am

rururocks

I know .. it's a thing out here

10:34 am

rururocks

we're going to have to send you a bill swmbo

10:35 am

rururocks

I found out I'm even allergic to almond extract

10:35 am

Shirlockc

i should have said beakfast instead of breakfast, missed that one

10:35 am

hurshy

wow so you really have to beak careful

10:35 am

hokie carla

we had a neighborhood xmas party and there is another lady with celiac, so we always bring stuff and point it out to each other. another neighbor brought 2 bowls of salad and put croutons in both. I told her, if you had just put them in one, then we could've eaten it.

10:36 am

BzznBea

Whoa. My mom can not have corn. She can't even have corn starch.

10:37 am

hokie carla

that's sad, ruru. I love buttercream with almond extract. and I occasionally use almond milk and flour. but other nuts I don't like.

10:37 am

rururocks

that's a fairly common allergy bea

10:37 am

rururocks

that's life hokie.. look what you have to go through.. i have it easier than you

10:38 am

hokie carla

bea, my charlotte BFF is like that. she also went gf after her daughter was diagnosed with celiac and so now has to be GF and corn free. corn is in everything too!

10:38 am

hurshy

with croutons, would you be able to pick them out?

10:38 am

hokie carla

ruru, nut allergies are usually pretty serious

10:38 am

hokie carla

no hurshy

10:39 am

rururocks

I made a mediterranean salad for my portion of the tasting group and left out the farro because one person is GF... it's not a big deal to make adjustments

10:39 am

hokie carla

people that are GF to be trendy can, but not celiac

10:39 am

rururocks

I think he's on the edge of celiac so we try to be really careful

10:39 am

hokie carla

well, luckily this neighbor is very nice and was not offended when I told her that. she is now very cognizant of things like that.

10:40 am

hurshy

i have a friend with celiac and it sucks when like restaurants charge her extra for a gluten free version of a dish

10:40 am

hokie carla

the gf tax is real

10:41 am

hokie carla

$2 extra for a gf bun, etc

10:41 am

swmbo

My heart goes out to those with dietary restrictions. I have none, I can eat anything but I am a picky eater so don’t like everything.

10:42 am

rururocks

that's just discriminatory

10:42 am

hurshy

i haven't got any allergies that i know of either, but i definitely would have puked if i had gone on trying to eat the sauerkraut i was served one time

10:42 am

hokie carla

one time a place messed up and brought me a regular bun. I told the waitress and she left and came back immediately with it on a gf bun. I could tell she just moved it over and I was like, sorry, but they're going to have to make me a whole new one. I actually hate being high maintenance but what are you going to do.

10:42 am

rururocks

when I cook for people, I always ask about allergies and things they don't like and come up with a menu

10:43 am

rururocks

I hear you hookie.. if nuts touch anything I can't go near it

10:43 am

swmbo

Wrong to charge more for gf. There is enough of a mark up on food as it is.

10:44 am

BzznBea

ru, can you sit by a nut eater?

10:44 am

rururocks

exactly

10:44 am

hokie carla

you are a very considerate host, ruru

10:45 am

origami

Except when it comes to mustard, he is

10:45 am

rururocks

yes.. I can.. bea.. recently there was a cheese plate and it had marcona almonds on it. I didn't touch it.. and the server said did you change your mind? I said I requested no almonds and you ignored me

10:45 am

hokie carla

wonder if we have any aussies lurking right now. I read early on after my diagnosis that they got like tax breaks or something for gf food.

10:45 am

BzznBea

You don't like mustard, ori?

10:45 am

rururocks

oh yeah.. the mustard debate

10:45 am

hokie carla

haha, ori. as a mustard hater, I get it!

10:46 am

rastapopolous

aussie is in the grid, but it won't take it

10:46 am

origami

The vilest condiment

10:46 am

rururocks

how can you not like mustard really?

10:46 am

hokie carla

oh, you're right

10:46 am

hokie carla

I don't what it is. I have actually come a long way in my mustard hatred.

10:47 am

swmbo

My DiL is vegetarian. I have really enjoyed looking for and making meat free dishes. Mind you she is not vegan, I think it would take some real commitment to adjust to vegan.

10:47 am

BzznBea

Whole grain mustard is the bomb.

10:47 am

hokie carla

yeah, our friends we used to camp with had a vegetarian kid who wanted to go vegan but they told her not while she was living with them

10:47 am

rururocks

I've recently had to cook vegan for a friend recovering from hip surgery the cooking is easy, finding the ingredients is the hardest part

10:48 am

rastapopolous

I go to the Maille store every time I'm in pris. they have mustard on tap

10:48 am

rastapopolous

*Paris

10:48 am

rururocks

that's what i need for Ori's next visit mustard on tap

10:48 am

swmbo

I hate mustard as a condiment you put directly on food, but I have several recipes that have mustard in them and they are fine.

10:48 am
