I never seem to have any ideas, my brain goes dead after a certain time and I just have to have chocolate to help it out!!

I'm busy this holiday writing letters to all and sundry trying to get help for Tony and, ultimately, all the other ex-Row guys in Illinois, plus my little Whippet is walking on 3 legs at the moment so she has to go to the vet later today. What's the betting she'll walk in on all 4 legs!!!

my plans for the easter days........well, I will watch soccer later, then i will go to my role-playing group, and we're gonna play until 3 am. tomorrow i will go to see an old friend of mine. but no matter what do, i will always think of you .... and of leonidas ..... basically only of leonidas.

how's the weather in this land over there in the west?

Hilde Bogaerts · #**128** 04-10-2004, 06:40 AM

hey Rose...sorry to hear about your dog...(it is a dog right?)and yep, I will be writing a lot as well...and chocolate of course...although it is 14.36 and I have been eating too much already...I might go see a movie with my girl, just to get away..I feel lonley more then ever, on days like thise...and Clinton has been trying to call me, but don't think he is very succesful...he has a new counselor and it all depends on her...so I sit and wait and write...
Hey kiddo...role playing...do tell me, is it just an excuse to drink??the weather you ask...do you nedd to ask??? This is Belgium...the weather is worse then in Seatle..rain and rain...and cold as well...not good for my mood...cheer me up please!!!

Flammenschwert · #**129** 04-10-2004, 07:46 AM

Poor Hilde..... only rain in Belgium. No rain here though.

No it's not an excuse to drink alcohol. Believe it or not, I don't drink much alcohol. Usually not more than 2 beers in one week. That's all. Then we will play at my place today and I will have to give some of my friends a ride home afterwards, so definitely not much alcohol for me today. Maybe one beer.

Hilde Bogaerts · #**130** 04-10-2004, 08:10 AM

right mister kiddo...I believe you....and where is the cheering me up bit in your post????

Rostonhall · #**131** 04-10-2004, 08:20 AM

Yes, the Whippet is a dog, and I'm sure she'll be OK. She's a bit of a drama queen and I expect a lot of it is just for show because they were in kennels!! Trying to make me feel guilty.

Oh Hilde, you are lucky to get calls. Tony's not able to ring overseas, even though I'd be paying for it. I'd just love to hear his voice sometimes and I, too, am feeling lonely right now but trying not to think too hard about it. That's when the chocolate comes in!!

We seem to be having the same weather. It's grey, cold and wet again in London, just the same as usual.

Rose

Hilde Bogaerts · #**132** 04-10-2004, 08:44 AM

yeah...lucky...he has called me one time in all the years I have known him....and I payed for it ...but I would pay lots more if he could call me more...well you know what Rose...this may sound real strange, but the fact that I know you and know that you feel this way as well...is making me feel a bit better...I am really looking forward to seeing you soon!!! tell whippet my dogs bobo and snoepie say hello

Flammenschwert · #**133** 04-10-2004, 09:08 AM

...so you it doesn't cheer you up when I say that it isn't raining here???? I thought you would feel for me and that it would make you happy that I'm doing fine!!!
Okay.... cheering up ..... How about that: It won't rain tomorrow!! Or: You will win in the lottery!!! Then you could invite us all to a first class hotel. So we could sit at the swimming pool sipping some drinks. My cat, who isn't really my cat, says hello to all animals out there.

Hilde Bogaerts · #**134** 04-10-2004, 09:43 AM

right;..you are doing fine...lets see...eeerrrr...naahhhh...does not make me feel any better...and it will rain tomorrow, so the weatherwoman just said...and I don't play lottery...so...my thought on this...you are bad at cheering up..Oh dear, so bad...No wonder your cat is not your cat...whats her name anyway?? my dogs don't like cats, but they will pretend to say hello....

Flammenschwert · #**135** 04-10-2004, 09:55 AM

grrrrrrrr.... i'm not good at cheering up. you're a hopeless case, that's all.

The cat belongs to some family in my neighborhood. i call him trojan but i don't know his real name. usually he sleeps in my bed, and makes me open the door at about 6 in the morning for him to get out. i thought about taking him along to your place. then phil can bring his cat too. 2 cats and 2 dogs in the sauna with us. that will be fun

if the weather is still that bad in september, maybe susan can make a sweet ice hole in a lake for us.

Hilde Bogaerts · #**136** 04-10-2004, 10:11 AM

oh now you really have me crying...i am a hopeless case???!!!!! hey I did se Phil's cat while I was at his place...jessi loved it, but me...naahh I stick with dogs...mind you, my dogs hopelesly hate cats....trojan...yeah, sounds like a name you would give to a pet...so all he really ever does is sleep with you..well you know what they say about sleeping with the cat...(or is that dog???) oh well...have to get back to my chocolate...you know, those nice white ones....Leonidas rulezzzzzzzz, well this weekend it does!!!

Flammenschwert · #**137** 04-10-2004, 10:52 AM

i like dogs better too, but unfortunately it's a cat that comes every day and not a dog. save some of these leonidas thingies for me. especially the white ones!!!!!!

no, you're not a hopeless case. maybe your daughters can cheer you up. what do they say about sleeping in one bed with an animal? no, i don't know what they say. now it looks as if it would start to rain here too. does at least that cheer you up?

Hilde Bogaerts · #**138** 04-10-2004, 11:27 AM

hey since you have been talking about this butter with salt, I have been looking out for it and yesterday I bought some, right here in Kasterlee...I mean, I never bought butter like that before in my life...so...I tried it today...it is salt???!!!! Now what is good about salted butter on your bread, or am I missing something here...I have to put it on something else then bread maybe???anyway...just so you know;..your butter is right here, as are the chocolates...no worries...
right..."he who sleeps with cats gets the flees", got it grashopper?? okay...so it will rain where you live ...Now that can make me feel good??..I just went out with my girl to this new coffee shop in town...we were so looking forward to a nice good cup of coffee and to see what this new place was about...it is called the letterhouse...so I am always into letters and writing and writing paper and coffee...so...we went out...all dressed up and walked to the town center to get there and see...it is closed at 18.00h...so...we just walked back home feeling frustrated...oh dear...someting has to go good today..if not I will just drive to you and come play that role thingie whatever that is....never mind, I will drink beer for the both of us...

Flammenschwert · #**139** 04-10-2004, 11:38 AM

no luck today. poor hilde.
the butter tastes best when you spread it on toast, no matter if toasted or not, and then put some marmalade on it. apricot and strawberry taste best.
never heard about this cat saying before. those people in belgium are so intelligent....

i just went out and smelt the air. the sky is gray, but it doesn't smell like rain.
i gonna pick up my role-playing group in 20 minutes, so if you're quick, you can join us.

you can choose whatever character you would like to play. susi will lead the group today, and she would prefer a character with magic abilities though.

what about susan, have you already seen her today?

Flammenschwert · #**140** 04-10-2004, 11:44 AM

Update: Now it's raining here too

Hilde Bogaerts · #**141** 04-10-2004, 11:47 AM

a character with magic abilities...My oh my...well a friend of mine asked me how I would feel to leave my body and visit him at night....I don't think so...but maybe susi can do that, now that would be magic, right? I don't know whether you could actually do this and cross the ocean as well...i mean, if so then I would be willing to try...oh dear...see feeling down makes me think of all kind of crazy things...hey, you have fun at your role playing night...who ever you play...you must tell me one time just what it is you people do...yo have got me thinking about that now....
right...will try the butter that way in the morning...and sussie...well, she is gone fishing I think...have not seen her all day...good thing Rose was here!! and you of course grashopper...so...go and play and enjoy!!! see ya later or tomorrow!! and as the pope would and will say...urbi at orbi...tomorrow, or something like that......

Hilde Bogaerts · #**142** 04-11-2004, 05:55 AM

susan the finn · #**143** 04-11-2004, 06:24 AM

Thanks Hilde, you have a great Easter too!!

I've been just busy, have had gests and so an. Lot of trolls around, how it's there?

Hyvää pääsiäistä!!

Where are you both? Hildeeeee! Sascha!!!!

Sussie

Flammenschwert · #**144** 04-11-2004, 06:27 AM

HAPPY EASTER Europe
Yes we had a lot of fun yesterday. There is a spell called Transversalis. You must cross your arms in front of your chest and say the words. This will teleport you to a place of your choice in a maximum distance of 10 miles, with 1 mile being one kilometer. If you can find islands that are 10 miles away from each other, you could do the way all across the Atlantic, if you have enough astral energy.

To please Susi who is not very experience in leading the group, I played a white magician yesterday.

Have you tried the butter?

Rostonhall · #**145** 04-11-2004, 06:51 AM

Happy Easter Everyone.

I've got an impossible situation here today. My Whippet, Whisper, has a torn ligament and the vet says no exercise for a week. How do you keep a hound (she's like a miniature Greyhound) from exercising especially when you have another, very young hound in the house? The other one, Saoirse (pronounced Sorsha) is part Saluki and needs to go out everyday, she has so much energy. Poor Whisper will have to be left at home and she's not going to like that as she loves to run in the fields every day!! I've not been out today but did play football with Saoirse in the garden so that gave her a good run around.

It's not raining here (yet) today and I've been able to re-pot some of my Bonsai trees. I have to do that before the leaves come out so I'll be busy if it keeps fine for a few days.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Rose

Hilde Bogaerts · #**146** 04-11-2004, 11:09 AM

hey all of you...I am here...well I was all the time...what have I been doing on this glorius Easter sunday...well, I am sure you can guess...YES!!!! I feel asleep...never mind, I am awake now...woke up an had some bread with salted butter...well, that sure got me awake...I have tried it on bread, rolls, toast, chips,meat,anything I could find in the house...and what is the verdict...?.....""he who puts and eats salt in butter will never have wisdom" right grashopper??.... My astral energy is kinda low now a days...don't think I can make it all the way over this ocean....well not today anyway...
Right, Rose, how many of those trees do you have??? poor dog whippet whisper...now I do feel bad for him...and with reading about him I have decided to go for a walk with my two dogs...so, I will be back soon...and I am awake yes, so I will be looking in here to see who is awake out there with me....Sussie...I am here now, will take the night shift, seeing I don't have guests...so I will make toast with salted butter for all of you...and I will eat some of it now and then, wondering what the hell I am doing...Easter and too much chocolate made me go crazy...and when I went to my coffee shop,the stupid thing was closed again, so I have taken the 18 year old whiskey instead....

Flammenschwert · #**147** 04-11-2004, 11:51 AM

Everybody should eat this salted butter. it tastes amazing, and i'm already looking forward to buying it when i'm in belgium. what will we make to eat at the g2g? something like a bbq? also save some of that whiskey for me. i like whiskey very much if it's a good one. i'm quite picky when it comes to whiskey

Rostonhall · #**148** 04-11-2004, 12:19 PM

Salted butter is the most common over here, we can get unsalted but it's not considered very 'English'. And another whisky lover. I think you'd approve of the bottles I have in the cupboard. Both single malt, I don't like blends, one is 12 years old the other 10, and they taste very, very good.

I've got 21 trees in single pots plus a group of 3 and another of 5, they look like small forests when they're all in leaf.

Rose

Flammenschwert · #**149** 04-11-2004, 12:29 PM

A single malt is a good choice. I drink only single malt whiskys. my favourite is McCallan either 12 or 18 years old. Some time ago, I had a whisky that was called Lochdu I think, and it tasted great too. So you could say these are my favourites.

The first time I ate salted butter was when I was in London in 1998. I doesn't taste good when eaten with cheese or German dark breads, but it's great with all sorts of white bread. Unfortunately I can't buy it here.

Rostonhall · #**150** 04-11-2004, 12:34 PM

I'll have to bring some over in September, butter and whisky. I agree with the butter, I usually buy unsalted myself but a nice crusty white loaf needs the salty type.
