if thats true tonight mrp you have to pick up your (my) friend chrissi and then drive you both to kerrys house, okay?

4:39 am

mrpresident

oh for a bodyswap!

4:39 am

mrpresident

not nice for them sprite! hope the wake is warm for them :(

4:40 am

sprite

hope so too. It is the 25+ years long concierge of her school, it is probably overloaded with people from school too.

4:42 am

mrpresident

what does a concierge do at a school? (sorry to ask at this delicate time)

4:44 am

sprite

not so delicate for me, darling, it is very sad, but I didn't know him very well. This man did everything to keep the building running, all papers ready, all supplies going, all logistics, etc etc etc. He spent most of his time at school and he is missed sorely by kids and personel.

4:44 am

sprite

you know the type, kind of central figure in the whole practical running of the school.

4:44 am

mrpresident

ah, that is a school engineer here...

4:45 am

sprite

thanks, learned something new :)

4:46 am

sprite

he died of lung cancer, has been really ill for about a year now, but still did odd jobs on his sickbed for the school.

4:46 am

mrpresident

the other name is a janitor, but it isn't used anymore.

4:47 am

sprite

started as helping parent, stayed on as volunteer and soon became the school engineer. I think it is wonderful, if you have to go, to be so universally loved and appreciated and missed as this man is.

4:47 am

mrpresident

wow that the kids went to his funeral!

4:48 am

sprite

janitor I know, the word I mean, but I thought it only applied to someone in a building with rentals or something.

4:48 am

sprite

tim is on school camp, he doesn't even know yet, didn't think it necessary to spoil his week there. But I think a lot of kids and parents are there now. He was that kind of person.

4:49 am

mrpresident

and concierge only applies to hotel doormen here! But we digress... is amazing that the kids were invited to his funeral, very sweet

4:50 am

sprite

he asked to be driven past the school on his last ride.
Yes, the words are a digression, but an appreciated one :) Concierge for hotels, janitors out of use, school (or, I guess, building) engineer for what I meant.

4:52 am

mrpresident

children are very much discouraged from attending funerals here... it is considered 'uncouth'
there have been people from the school who have passed, but the children don't get told till after the funeral

4:55 am

sprite

very different from he4 then. His being ill and his dieing, and the whole issue of organ donorship etc (related to his illness) has been talked about in all classes, each on their own level of understanding. There has been room for mourning and questions and they all made lovely things for him while he was ill. And last week they made a very special book that is given to his wife now.

4:57 am

mrpresident

was he a young man?

4:57 am

sprite

no, not young. Too young to die like this, of course, but he was in his early 60s.

4:57 am

mrpresident

that is young

4:58 am

sprite

way too young to go yet, anyway. But he was not 20-30 young.

4:58 am

mrpresident

illness and dying are almost taboo here... it isn't discussed unless you are family or very close friends. weird, but it is how it is

5:00 am

mrpresident

did you know that my children were not invited to their great grandmother's funeral?? we were 'told' to not bring them

5:00 am

sprite

there are good reasons to be found for both approaches, I think, mrP. Personally I am glad it is not a taboo he4 anymore. The school has been very careful and thoughtful about the whole painful affair and all kids have had the chance to mourn and be comforted and be a comfort to others.

5:01 am

sprite

hey, there they are, I am going downstairs to hear about it all. *hugs* and talk to you soon.

5:01 am

sprite

oh mrP, that is terrible! Sorry to be sounding this judgemental, but I think that is so tough on the kids :(

5:01 am

mrpresident

bye for now

5:01 am

sprite

tough on you too

5:02 am

my father believed that women and children were taboo at funerals but my mother in law insisted i went to her fathers and i was glad i went at the age of about 30 for the first time

5:35 am

niksforjaff

5:36 am

sandyloo

5:37 am

5:37 am

bichon

I was 10, going on 11 when my beloved grandmother died. I knew she was very sick, but my parents didn't think I should go to the funeral. Mom told me afterwards that she had died. I really think I was mature enough and was always sorry I hadn't been able to go

5:39 am

sandyloo

mr pres is right about attitudes here to children at funerals but it is getting more tolerated - moving with the times

sandyloo

LOL finally it's clicked thankyou one and all!!

6:25 am

Haz1558

Hello Lori! We hear that you keep cats in sheds. Ata was horrified.

6:25 am

LoriP

Men re 5/28 their cars all the time, to avoid their wives.

6:25 am

sandyloo

lori, is that true?

6:25 am

LoriP

Good Lord. That girl is even softer and mooshier than I am when it comes to pets.

6:25 am

sandyloo

on both counts

6:26 am

crosshair

or women re*** thier legs to get hubbys away from re***ing thier cars;)

6:26 am

Atalante

oh yes! you out-evil Haz there

6:26 am

sandyloo

(Sandy gathers up her much loved cat)

6:26 am

LoriP

heh heh heh cross

6:26 am

Haz1558

I was pleased to hear it - makes me feel less alone when Spangle is sent to sleep in a kennel.

6:26 am

LoriP

It's only multiple cats, and it's not THAT cold right now.

6:26 am

Atalante

outrageous behaviour

6:27 am

LoriP

I feed them occasionally.

6:27 am

sandyloo

Our cat has a bed by the fire so do the dogs

6:27 am

sandyloo

Well Lori, I believe it helps to keep the snakes out of the shed

6:27 am

Atalante

I bet Uni has to creep out of bed at 3am to feed them really

6:28 am

Haz1558

Don't feed them too often, Lori. They get to expect it and that would never do.

6:28 am

bfsog

hey all

6:28 am

LoriP

I know animals being outside is rare. No, no, I lock Uni in a room at night so the animals don't get used to food every day.

6:28 am

sandyloo

Just throw them a mouse from the pet shop every now and then

6:29 am

LoriP

wb bfsog

6:29 am

Haz1558

Hello bf.

6:29 am

Atalante

bet she sneaks out of the window

6:29 am

redturtlehead

morning. :)

6:29 am

Eva

there is some sort of rodent in our living room wall gnawing away. This happens every year and we have searched high and low for holes to no avail. Merp sits mesmerized, staring at the wall, willing them to come out and become dinner

6:29 am

sandyloo

we were thinking of getting a rabbit for our Jack russels

6:29 am

elder

back,hello red and bfso.

6:30 am

LoriP

I did catch her throwing cat food out the window once. That's when glass was replaced with Lexan, and nailed the window shut.

6:30 am

bfsog

workmates have took a pub lunch with some clients, they have left me to hold down the fort

6:30 am

elder

Lorip. lol

6:30 am

Atalante

oh you think of everything!

6:31 am

LoriP

Nobody will ever accuse me of condoning kindness.

6:31 am

Atalante

so why are you letting Uni have one of the kittens?? huh? huh??

6:32 am

Haz1558

It's one less mouth to not feed.

6:32 am

Atalante

true

6:33 am

LoriP

If I fed them, her taking one might be an issue.

6:33 am

Atalante

bet she's given Uni the really evil one

6:33 am

LoriP

Now she has it to not feed, so she's saving additional money by not feeding it.

6:34 am

redturtlehead

this is confusing to me. I admit to feeing my dog on a very regular basis.

6:34 am

Haz1558

You can be sure that the kitten won't turn into a fussy eater.

6:34 am

Atalante

or an eater at all

6:35 am

Haz1558

Very foolish to feed pets too regularly. You've got to let them know who's boss. It's like children - gruel and grovel - the key to discipline.

6:35 am

Atalante

does Spangle just have gruel each morning?

6:35 am

sandyloo

I agree with Haz

6:36 am

redturtlehead

Yes, but if you dont feed teulu he starts sitting in you lap.

6:36 am

redturtlehead

lol

6:36 am

sandyloo

Spangle has scrambled egg with spinach and feta cheese

6:36 am

Haz1558

Food in the morning? Are you crazy? Keep them waiting.

6:36 am

sprite

good afternoon all

6:36 am

LoriP

Every morning? You mean daily food? I've never heard such tripe.

6:37 am

redturtlehead

hi sprite!

6:37 am

LoriP

wb sprite

6:37 am

sandyloo

good evening sprite

6:37 am

Uniquity

Oh dear. You mean, if I feed her, she'll stop chewing on my ears at night? Emma seems to thing earrings are just realy tough treats..

6:37 am

Haz1558

Good afternoon sprite.

6:38 am

Atalante

nah, Uni, the opinion seems to be no feeding

6:38 am

LoriP

G'd morning Uni. Don't give her too much of yourself.

6:38 am

Haz1558

That's where the taser comes in handy, Uniquity.

6:38 am

elder

Hello Sprite, is your lad due back form camp soon ?.

6:38 am

LoriP

If I bought cat food, I can assure you it would last a long time.

6:39 am

elder

hello Uni.

6:39 am

sprite

tomorrow, elder! Am to pick him up at 13.00 :)

6:39 am

redturtlehead

is it me, or is this grid rather OK?

6:39 am

Haz1558

Oh, and Uni. Why is the kitten gnawing on your ears? Is Emma not outside in a shed?

6:39 am

LoriP

This grid was quirky, but a gooder.

6:39 am

sandyloo

I have stopped with 38 left

6:39 am

6:42 am

sprite

I hope he enjoyed himself

6:42 am

LoriP

naming pets? I dunno' where I went wrong with that girl.

6:42 am

Atalante

after all Uni is really just daughter #1

6:43 am

LoriP

Perhaps my mistake was naming her. It set a clear precedent of expectation.

6:43 am

Dorens

hot steamy icon there, ata

6:43 am

elder

Sprite, I am sure he would have.

6:43 am

sprite

9:34 am

kje

bee, even if you are "out of sorts" you know we are always happy to re-sort you here, right?

9:34 am

missbeeze

I know! thanks KJ!! Babble buds are the best!!

I will indeed, wouldn't miss it, especially considering my travels haven't taken me there just yet FM, and many of our favorite Babblers are there!

9:45 am

kje

unfortunately FM, UK is not known for their fine cuisine

9:45 am

missbeeze

I already had figured food and Nadal in your decision KJ!!

9:48 am

bichon

jewish woman who gossips is actually this. a real ye***. but i would put an a at end, but they put another vowel. oh well. yiddish is not with english letters so it is a guess. think of fiddler on the roof, the woman who was the matchmaker was named this. but it is not the word for matchmaker. that is a shodkin. as you can tell i speak some yiddish.

11:23 am
