The Frying Pan

The other day in the parking lot of the grocery store, I overheard one guy telling another that there is no way he could get a decent car for 1000 bucks.

Hmm hmmm

Giddyup for the nation, and runs like Morgan Freeman's voice.

The key is watching Craigslist every 15 minutes :)

Journeyman Geek

lol

Jolenealaska

I actually paid $1,100 for it. It's nice to feel lucky once in a while!

It has all the luxury bells and whistles. In 2001 it sold for $35,000 ($50,000 in today's money), and is clean and smooth! Low mileage too, considering its age.

Journeyman Geek

;p

My friend's selling a 92 honda... with hood painted in blackboard paint

Stephie

8:56 AM

@JourneymanGeek is a box of chalks included in the offer?

Journeyman Geek

@Stephie I believe so yes

Jolenealaska

Since my hood is white, can I treat it like a whiteboard?

Journeyman Geek

800 usd it seems

Jolenealaska

That could be fun.

Journeyman Geek

@Jolenealaska Presumably ;p

Jolenealaska

9:03 AM

I'll have to ask at the craft store. I had an idea about an Alaskan flag, but I've abandoned it. The car is just too classy for that.

But yet it still has a white hood, while the rest of the car is bronze.

Journeyman Geek

You should get a decal for your business on it ;p

Jolenealaska

That would have been fun a few years ago. Today I just can't. I meet dogs in the real world and connect with them. I can't handle more than that.

I've already recently been put the position where had to turn business away.

What a weird feeling that is!

"I'd gladly take your money today, for some dog training on Tuesday!"

Oh please somebody get the reference

Don't allow me to feel this old :-(

Stephie

9:19 AM

Sorry...

Journeyman Geek

ah

Jolenealaska

Well, I can probably cut you some slack for being out of the country.

Journeyman Geek

I'd probably claim the same

Jolenealaska

You too...

J. Wellington Wimpy

J. Wellington Wimpy, generally referred to as Wimpy, is one of the characters in the long-running comic strip Popeye, created by E. C. Segar in 1934 and originally called Thimble Theatre, and in the Popeye cartoons based upon the strip. Wimpy was one of the dominant characters in the newspaper strip, but when Popeye was adapted as an animated cartoon series by Fleischer Studios, Wimpy became a minor character; Dave Fleischer said that the character in the Segar strip was "too intellectual" to be used in film cartoons. Wimpy did appear in Robert Altman's 1980 live-action musical film Popeye, played...

His oft repeated line was, "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday, for a hamburger today."

Stephie

Ah....

Jolenealaska

9:26 AM

And if you grew up watching 60s after-school television in the US, you would know that.

I don't think I can stay up anymore. Now that I think of it, this is been a really long day!

Good night all. As is my custom, you may see me again in a few hours (or minutes).

Stephie

Good night, jojo!

ElendilTheTall

9:52 AM

@Stephie Still here?

Stephie

@ElendilTheTall sure!

Playing Florence Nightingale...

ElendilTheTall

@Stephie bless your cotton socks

Stephie

ElendilTheTall

"I just show up and let the lord work through me"

Stephie

I just hope that they won't "share" their various viruses too much. Especially not with me.

ElendilTheTall

10:04 AM

Hazmat suit

Negative pressure system

Chicken soup

Stephie

@ElendilTheTall I have been known to use distinctivelv non-christian language these days....

ElendilTheTall

Islamic?

:D

Stephie

Haha.

But coughing + wandering around in pajamas and barefoot on stone floors raises my hackles, for example.

Are your offspring ok, @ElendilTheTall?

Looking forward to Christmas?

ElendilTheTall

10:35 AM

Yeah, they're OK.

Isildurette is definitely looking forward to it

Anarion is still more or less unaware

Journeyman Geek

>_>

@ElendilTheTall Oh, damn my karma. I must have been terrible in a previous life....

Stephie

10:52 AM

@JourneymanGeek just a convenient trend ;-)

Seriously, you can believe whatever you choose to.

Journeyman Geek

@Stephie Oh, I was meaning that jokingly

Stephie

I know ;-)

Journeyman Geek

(I'm the sorta hindu who dosen't go to the temple except on super special festivals ._.)

Stephie

Ah. Very comon approach among German Christians, too.

Vishal Kumar Sahu

Hi Everyone

Journeyman Geek

10:56 AM

Hi

Stephie

hi!

And welcome! Don't think I've seen you here before, @VishalKumarSahu?

(but that may be just me and my shaky memory)

Vishal Kumar Sahu

document.write('Something');
var d = document;
d.write('Something');
var w = write;
d.w('Something');

Journeyman Geek

>_>

Vishal Kumar Sahu

No I have not been here

Journeyman Geek

ITS PROGRAMMER! GET HIM!

Vishal Kumar Sahu

10:58 AM

Its first time

I need something in javascript

Journeyman Geek

Oh, its JS, never mind ;p

Vishal Kumar Sahu

d.w() is not working

Journeyman Geek

@VishalKumarSahu ... you can't be serious

PLEASE tell me you arn't serious

Vishal Kumar Sahu

Partially

I am not dude

Stephie

And you are asking COOKS?

Vishal Kumar Sahu

10:59 AM

No idea about cooks

Journeyman Geek

I'd have you know sir, this happens to be a chatroom for a cooking site.

Vishal Kumar Sahu

d.[w]('Something'); is not working too...

Journeyman Geek

And as someone of indian decent, I'm somewhat embarassed by this.

Vishal Kumar Sahu

Seriously :D

Journeyman Geek

You really should learn how to ask questions, and more importantly, where.

Vishal Kumar Sahu

11:00 AM

I searched for JS

but

Stephie

Journeyman Geek

THIS IS A COOKING SITE!

Vishal Kumar Sahu

and this room was listed

Sorry

Ciao Fellas

Journeyman Geek

TBH, I'd have been a lot less shocked if it was a site even remotely related to computers ;p

Stephie

Are you going to tell the poor bloke that we do talk computers now and then?

Journeyman Geek

11:01 AM

@Stephie >_>

No?

Stephie

^_^

ElendilTheTall

yeah, but not Javascript

Stephie

jk

Journeyman Geek

@ElendilTheTall well, I suppose that's not programming...

ElendilTheTall

we're not perverts

Stephie

11:03 AM

Javascript. Another word for "when I was young and didn't know better"

ElendilTheTall

everyone still asks for it though

Stephie

And they are welcome to. But here?

ElendilTheTall

if it was PHP I might have been able to help xD

Journeyman Geek

@ElendilTheTall: "You need to use a better language, kid" ;p

actually I run a ton of PHP stuff, and my personal server stuff's heavily PHP based. Its just fun to make fun of ._.

ElendilTheTall

It's accessible and widely supported ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Journeyman Geek

11:09 AM

yup

ElendilTheTall

I use Laravel, which helps mitigate the worst of it

Journeyman Geek

and tbh, kinda is less annoying that having to run a seperate port for each thing (like python and ruby), and isn't showhorning JS into a server side language

I don't code ;p

My passion's more about hardware and the less low level side of things

ElendilTheTall

there's nothing lower level than hardware...

:D

Stephie

@ElendilTheTall, you know what's really making me sad?

I have this huge pot of stewed beef&mushroom for a pie.

And can't serve it.

ElendilTheTall

warum?

Stephie

11:17 AM

Hubby: GI trouble.

Minors: still heavy cold.

ElendilTheTall

tut

Stephie

Neither is interested in real food.

ElendilTheTall

portion some off for yourself, freeze the rest

Stephie

That's roughly the idea.

But just as stew, not real pie.

ElendilTheTall

make dumplings instead

Stephie

11:19 AM

?

ElendilTheTall

stew and dumplings

you still get nice comforting carbs, without having to make a pastry lid

Stephie

Hm... That's an idea.

ElendilTheTall

you can't beat some nice fat dumplings ;)

Stephie

11:36 AM

Spätzle trumps everything!

Carb lovers unite!

ElendilTheTall

hmmm

I prefer a nice herby, mustardy, moist dumpling

Stephie

Next time we meet, you make dumplings & I serve Spätzle ^_^

ElendilTheTall

that's just crazy talk

Stephie

And we let rumi and jojo be the judges ;-)

ElendilTheTall

and cindy, to break any deadlock

Jolenealaska

11:43 AM

It looks like I missed some fun!

ElendilTheTall

Rumi will side with Germany, and Jojo will side with me because she's madly in lo... hello Jojo!

(¬‿¬)

Jolenealaska

Spaetzle rocks.

Spaetzle is super fun to make too.

ElendilTheTall

ah, but you've never tried my dumplings ;)

Jolenealaska

You're killing me:)

ElendilTheTall

Spätzle is just pasta with weight issues

my dumplings are tasty and satisfying

Stephie

11:46 AM

@Jolenealaska, is this "not an answer" or just "spam"?

Jolenealaska

I'm famous on two continents for my dumplings.

Stephie

At least it has nothing to do with zoodles.

spam

spam

spam

11:48 AM

I might have a benevolent day, that's the only explanation why I hesitated.

Journeyman Geek

zoodles and spam and spam spam spaaaaaaaam

ElendilTheTall

this is beginning to sound like a monty python song

Jolenealaska

Yeah, that's blatant

...and gone

Journeyman Geek

@ElendilTheTall why I never. We'd need a few vikings then...

Jolenealaska

I'm only half awake - was thirsty

Have fun all - I may see you in a bit and not remember any of this.

ElendilTheTall

11:54 AM

ok hon

ElendilTheTall

1:36 PM

tum tee tum

c'moooooon Friday

Stephie

Only hours until this work week is over.

"C'mon, you can do this!"

ElendilTheTall

Can I @Stephie? CAN I?!

Stephie

Yes!

I have great confidence in your abilities.

@Catija this is also for you ^_^

ElendilTheTall

@Stephie unfounded

Catija

@Stephie ha ha. I was actually watching that earlier... Someone posted it on Facebook.

Stephie

1:51 PM

^_^

@Catija so how's our favourite FP baby doing these days?

ElendilTheTall

2:07 PM

sleeping, apparently

I wonder if he does that thing all babies do

where they breath so shallowly you think... "wait. a. minute....!!!"

"oh"

Stephie

Don't I remember....

ElendilTheTall

nowadays it's more like "Guess what position they're in"

I'll quite often find my daughter upside down amongst the stuffed toys, snoring like a gutted walrus

Journeyman Geek

>_>

Human babies are just like dogs.

ElendilTheTall

though hopefully less hairy

Journeyman Geek

Depends on the breed. Of the dog, not the baby

ElendilTheTall

2:14 PM

some babies don't shed their lanugo

having said that

Stephie

2:46 PM

Aaaaaand another very easy craft done.

White stars / snowflakes from paper sandwich bags.

ElendilTheTall

4:41 PM

@rumtscho the third book in the Stormlight Archives will be out November 2017!

first draft is finished

Catija

6:03 PM

@Stephie Stuffy nose. Otherwise happy. He doesn't like it when we use the nasal syringe on him

Stephie

6:23 PM

@Catija lol! He'd be the first...

Poor sweetie!

Mine undergo the full treatment - cough syrup, rub on chest and back, nose-drops, ... I'm brewing a herbal tea right now (which they will probably hate). Best part: almost unlimited TV / amazon video access.

Oh well, A spoonful of sugar... 🎶

Catija

7:30 PM

Awww. You've got quite the regimen! I'm still not sure what all I can give him. We're going to the pediatrician next week, so I'll be able to get more info but when I talked to the nurse on the phone yesterday, it seems like the saline drops and syringe is good unless he gets a fever.

Stephie

Totally fine. As long as you can keep the nose sort of clear, you do the best in preventing coughs and ear infections.

Never use stuff with essential oils for babies.

Catija

Yeah. I also feel like he's not nursing quite as well but he's doing fine with the bottles at school. It will be interesting to see how nursing goes this weekend.

We got a humidifier, too!

Just water.

Stephie

Cool!

Oh, if you are still bf'ing: a few drops of breast milk work great as nose drops. Not sure why, but it does.

(And yes, I know this sounds weird.)

Catija

Oh, I do that for his eyes when they're really gummy. I didn't think of trying it in his nose.

Stephie

Now we have probably grossed out everyone else ;-)

Catija

7:39 PM

HA HA Its' just milk... not sure why it would be gross. People are weird about bodily fluids.

Stephie

They sure are!
