Morning all. :-)

1:41 am

rubyfoo

1:41 am

rubyfoo

hello grannyrose, how is yur fever?

1:41 am

jillibus

We have a terrible "Chinese" restaurant here.

1:41 am

grannyrose

ruby, has been down for the last 4 days.

1:41 am

jillibus

Hi granny and soodle

1:41 am

rubyfoo

that is good news!

1:42 am

grannyrose

today i actually felt like doing some household chores

1:42 am

jillibus

Wow, granny!

1:42 am

Soodle

I have a big old-fashioned solid-fuel cooker/heater in the kitchen. Its great for making soups and stews and casseroled.

1:42 am

grannyrose

hi jillie, soodle and ruru...i know you're there

1:42 am

rubyfoo

that is wonderful, so the AB's are kicking a**

1:43 am

grannyrose

yup, we now have a loo that twinkles

1:43 am

rubyfoo

what is a solid-fuel cooker?

1:43 am

rubyfoo

beware the twinkling loo!

1:43 am

m9f9l

a wood stove??

1:43 am

Soodle

Its an old-fashioned range - an Aga. I burn turf and peat in it in the winter. Its messy, but throws out amazing heat.

1:44 am

m9f9l

i tinkle in my loo...but no twinkling...

1:44 am

m9f9l

bet you can make great pizza in that!

1:44 am

jillibus

Wonderful, gremlinn!

1:45 am

rubyfoo

I wanted a viking stove when we did this kitchen, but it was just too expensive, especially in Europe

1:45 am

gremlinn

ty

1:45 am

rubyfoo

but I was still doing big-deal cooking then.....

1:45 am

rubyfoo

gremlin is amazing

1:46 am

Soodle, my lovely new neighbours are Irish -- Northern, though

1:46 am

1:46 am

gremlinn

1:47 am

grannyrose

my bathroom now has 3 walls, does that count?

1:47 am

m9f9l

oh yeah?? well floccule too!

1:47 am

Soodle

I think you may see more Irish soon, Jilli. There seems to be a mass exodus from this country - Recession-related.

1:47 am

gremlinn

haha

1:47 am

rubyfoo

I hope they move here!

1:47 am

grannyrose

LOL, m9

1:47 am

it does sound like F you all, doesn't it?

1:48 am

rururocks

tinkling loo.. sounds like M9 has a piano bar in her bathroom

1:48 am

jillibus

Soodle, these people have been living here part-time for some years.

1:48 am

grannyrose

anyone want to hear the saga of my new bathroom?

1:49 am

rururocks

sure

1:49 am

m9f9l

uh sure~!

1:49 am

Soodle

Wellm I'm glad they are nice, Jilly.

1:49 am

grannyrose

when we pulled out the old bath, we discovered that the floor ended mid-air, through that hole they had put the power cables and the plumbing

1:50 am

gremlinn

Was there a secret dungeon?

1:50 am

m9f9l

makes sense.

1:50 am

grannyrose

thank goodness, NO.

1:50 am

m9f9l

makes sense.

1:51 am

jillibus

Have you ever read "And Irish Country Doctor" by Patrick Taylor? It was a best-seller and delightful. My neighbour is the author of that and a whole lot more.

1:51 am

m9f9l

there's a bathroom word in the grid

1:51 am

rururocks

(granny's chamber of torture)

1:51 am

grannyrose

now we have to re-wire and plumb the whole room.well, we did anyway, but poor hubby's eyes nearly came out on stalks.

1:51 am

gremlinn

cr4 smells fo4?

1:51 am

rubyfoo

Is the grid Dr. God's chamber of torture

1:51 am

jillibus

*"An Irish Country Doctor", not "And..."

1:52 am

grannyrose

in the garage sits a brand new claw-foot slipper bath, huge shower and new handbasin, * sigh *

1:52 am

m9f9l

if it's not co4 it smells fo6

1:53 am

rururocks

my bathroom is done as of last year

1:53 am

Soodle

I haven't heard of it Jilly, but both my brother and sister are 'Irish Country Doctors', so one of them may have it. I will certainly look it up. Thank you.

1:53 am

grannyrose

yay ruru, did you have any probs?

1:53 am

jillibus

What fun, Soodle!

1:53 am

m9f9l

at least the plumbing and wiring is accessible!

1:54 am

rururocks

just waiting for the lights to arrive from Italy

1:54 am

Must go now -- bye all and... *poof*

Bye Jilli, and thanks again

1:55 am

m9f9l

you're not in that movie "sideways" are you??

1:55 am

rururocks

yes.. we had to have "certain" lights.. ahem

1:55 am

rubyfoo

I am v impressed, ruru!!

1:55 am

grannyrose

ummmm, not touching that one

1:56 am

rururocks

<---- not really a home depot kind of guy

1:56 am

rubyfoo

I did the reverse, when we were doing the house here, I bought most stuff in the US and had it shipped over!

1:56 am

rubyfoo

and hates Jamaica! lol

1:57 am

grannyrose

* giggle * that figures, ruby....grass is always greener....

1:57 am

Soodle

I'd settle for lights in my bathroom! The shade is stuck over the bulb, and I think TNT is needed to shift it so I can replace the bulb. Candle baths chez Soodle these days!

1:57 am

rubyfoo

sounds romantic! lol

1:57 am

Soodle

Its a pain in the a**!!!!

1:57 am

m9f9l

the shade is stuck?? does it have little screws?

1:58 am

grannyrose

oh, soodle, where i8s your romantic side gone?

1:58 am

gremlinn

clue for the i8?

1:59 am

gremlinn

islecule, a molecule of island

1:59 am

grannyrose

hubby was really chuffed, a week after we bought them, the price on the bath went up $300, the basin $ 200.

1:59 am

Soodle

No, its a screw on shade, and I think it got put on hte wrong threads last time, and Granny, bumbling around in the dark is less than romatic, searching for all the 'little necessities' required for my ablutions!!!

1:59 am

grannyrose

2:06 am

It was a BMW X5 jeep. And our house at the time was tiny - like a doll's house. The house cost 24,000, and the jeep cost 30,000!

2:07 am

m9f9l

we'll stay at Ruru's and then we can go have my sister cut our hair!LOL

2:07 am

fireworks.

3:26 am

oh dear, not again :D LOL.
Of course I need to see that one too.
Oh m9, I called my love in yesterday to see the QI of how many moons the earth had and he loved it!

3:26 am

m9f9l

I watched that too! I was laughing SO much at the QI vids

3:27 am

gratz on the fireworks, m9!

3:27 am

the colour purple too. Brilliant.

3:29 am

rhyming purple!?! that was wonderful

m9f9l

thanks!

3:30 am

sprite

hehehe the kid is cute

3:31 am

m9f9l

and such stamina!

3:31 am

sprite

that too :) The moves aren't at all childlike, are they?

3:34 am

m9f9l

I'm guessing his dad dances the haka or something

3:35 am

sprite

I was wondering about that. Amazing, the moves aren't childlike, but it looks so natural anyway. The kid has a wonderful time.

3:35 am

sprite

makes me wanna dance too

3:36 am

m9f9l

have you seen the one of the baby watching beyonce?

3:36 am

no?

we have had a very bad day, husband is ok but he had a car accident this morning , ran into the back of a car - his brakes didnt work - dont know what happened maybe they locked or something- he is very upset tho

3:40 am

sandyloo

fortunately insurance. licenses etc were all up to date

3:41 am

m9f9l

oh sandy!!!!

3:42 am

sandyloo

he is very depressed about it all but I pointed out that we have food and shelter and do not live in a war torn country so we can be happy - he can use my car while it is getting fixed , but he is still upset

3:42 am

m9f9l

glad he's ok!

3:42 am

sandyloo

life is hard sometimes but there are worse things, much worse

3:44 am

sprite

Wiping tears from my eyes from laughing, m9, totally brilliant. That kid has tremendous body awareness for some so young.

3:44 am

sprite

oh sandy :(

3:44 am

m9f9l

I like it when the little leg starts going

3:44 am

sprite

just reading back chog and seeing what you guys went through. Am so sorry.

3:45 am

sprite

yes, he really tries to imitate, it is amazing. Also when the hand comes out :)

3:45 am

sprite

isn't your husband hurt, sandy?

3:45 am

sandyloo

seems like babblers are having a hard time lately

3:46 am

sprite

yes, many bad things happening :(
Better times for Babblers are overdue.

3:46 am

sandyloo

no sprite only his pride and he worries about everything so much, I wish he would be grateful for the good things

3:47 am

sandyloo

I was panicked over whether I had the insurance and license paid, so I was very relieved tofind I had been uncharacteristically efficient

3:48 am

sprite

but 'only' his pride can be very hard on a man, sandy. Looks like he feels responsible and is afraid something bad may come from it... like him not providing well enough for you.

3:48 am

m9f9l

yay! that's a relief sandy!

3:49 am

m9f9l

you may need a little laugh. this is one that my kids think is hilarious: http://tinyurl.com/dfumbt

for me it was huge! imagine if I had let that bill go unpaid, I only paid it about 10 days ago

3:50 am

hello again. {{sandy}}

3:50 am

m9f9l

yeah, i need to pay my water bill...

3:50 am

m9f9l

and my puter bill...

3:50 am

sandyloo

hi ruby, I have had the babblers curse on me

3:52 am

rubyfoo

I just read back over the chog. I am so sorry, Sandy, I can imagine how your husband feels. Rear-ending another car makes you feel embarrassed, but I think it happens to everybody, at least once!

3:52 am

sprite

hi rubyfoo

3:53 am

rubyfoo

At least nobody was hurt, but it's very hard to get some people to look on the bright side (like Sprite, the perpetual optimist, does)!

3:53 am

sprite

m9 it is cool, the vid. Very positive training!

3:53 am

rubyfoo

Sprite, hello, and you have the best buoyant spirit! You should be "Spirit Sprite!"

3:54 am

sprite

sometimes people need to be allowed to feel rotten at first, need to allow themselves that even. If it doesn't take too long, it can be very healthy.

3:54 am

sandyloo

thanks ruby and sprite and m9,

3:54 am

sprite

thank you rubyfoo :)
Be certain that I have my moody moments too.

3:54 am

sandyloo

I watched it m9 it did bring a smile

3:54 am

rubyfoo

but you don't make everybody else feel bad.....

3:55 am

sandyloo

I agree sprite he will slowly rise from the depths, but I will remain cheerful

3:55 am

sprite

I used to though. Life can be a tough teacher.

3:55 am

sandyloo

sure can , there is no doubt

3:55 am

m9f9l

well, my little 4 yo is still going strong here at 2 am!!! I'm going to really try and get him to settle down.. later!

3:56 am

sprite

that is the way, sandy, don't let his depression get to you.

3:56 am

sprite

aw m9! Good luck! And sleep well, I hope.

3:56 am

m9f9l

night all!

3:57 am

sandyloo

I had a friend over for coffee this morning she stayed for 4 hours..... I really like her but I needed to do things

3:57 am

sandyloo

nite m9

3:57 am

sprite

oh that sounds familiar. It is very hard to tell a friend she needs to go.

3:58 am

sandyloo

she used to be a pony club mum, and really helped Diana a lot - she sold us a fabulous pony when she could have got triple for what we paid. She is a very caring person with lots of hard times herself

3:59 am

sandyloo

she is an example of never letting things get her down

3:59 am

sprite

in that case she is a friend worth losing some chore time over, I guess

3:59 am

sprite

how is your husband today, rubyfoo, and how are you?

4:01 am

rubyfoo

sorry, I was on the phone with the pharmacy

4:01 am

sandyloo

Ruby, has he finished with the shots?

4:02 am

rubyfoo

he is still dpressed but doctor is coming back today while the nurse is here, which is a good thing. I looked at the big wound yesterday, and it looked a little bit better to me. I keep telling him that he's luck, that the fact that it hurts means there is no nerve damage

4:02 am

rubyfoo

He doesn't quite see it that way, LOL

4:02 am

rubyfoo

lucky*

4:02 am

rubyfoo

also that the dog bit him and not a little child

4:03 am

sandyloo

I think men have a problem with looking on the bright side sometimes

4:03 am

rubyfoo

he has one more set of shots on Friday which I think is silly, but it's not my choice

4:03 am

sandyloo

Once all that is finished, he may start to feel better

4:03 am

sprite

hehehe I bet! It is a nasty thing to have happened to you. He will need some time to get over the shock. Maybe the doctor can explain to him the physical and neurological effects of shock - coming from a professional male, it may be easier for your husband to understand?

4:03 am

sprite

sorry, not understand, accept

4:04 am

rubyfoo

the dog is still in custody, they're watching him for his comportment, but I think they'll have to destroy him or the women of the village will go to the people's house with their pitchforks!

4:05 am

rubyfoo

the problem is that his communication skills are poor because of his hearing (NOT!) and I have to do all the translation

4:05 am

rubyfoo

so coming from his doctor or not, it will be hard to get the message across

4:05 am

sandyloo

can he speak french?

4:06 am

sprite

do you girls know the book by the couple Pease: "Why men don't listen and women can't read maps"?

4:06 am

sprite

if the dog can be rehabilitated, I think it should be, but far away from your village, by professionals.

4:06 am

sandyloo

haven't read it Sprite, but believe it

4:07 am

rubyfoo

he knows French but is too afraid of making mistakes. His vocabulary is probably triple mine which I think is another impediment. While he's looking for the "perfect" word, the conversation has passed him by

4:07 am

sprite

you should, sandy. It is an amazingly accurate and funny, scientific work about the way human brains work, and why there are differences between men and women in how the brain functions.

4:07 am

sandyloo

non non Ruby, that dog should be put down , it could kill next time - People's lives before the dog

4:08 am

rubyfoo

I don't think it's possible to ever trust a dog like that. Don't forget, it was abandoned once and left at a shelter and the woman took it in as a rescue dog. How can anyone ever know what the dog went through before

4:08 am

sprite

oh dear, a perfectionist. I sympathise with him! It is so hard to settle for good enough when you drive yourself to perfection.

4:09 am

rubyfoo

and it could have killed a child or even him, if it had gotten an artery.

4:09 am

sprite

yes, it would take an immense amount of time and effort to make relatively sure about the dog's behaviour. Once a dog has eaten human flesh, things change.

4:10 am

rubyfoo

I am fluent but VERY far from perfect. However, I understand almost everything and the people understand me and truly appreciate my efforts. After all, we're in a little village, not exactly "downtown"

4:10 am

sprite

oh rubyfoo, and you too. Please read that book. It will make you look differently at men and women and your relation.

4:10 am

sprite

and it is FUN reading, I promise.

4:11 am

sandyloo

One thing I have inherently understood Sprite, is that men are wired differently from women. They live on a different planet to what we do, that is for sure

4:12 am

sandyloo

That dog can never never be trusted. That was a very vicious unprovoked attack

4:12 am

rubyfoo

I'll order the book; it sounds like fun! But my husband can't (or won't) read maps; I'm always the navigator

4:13 am

rubyfoo

did I tell you that the wife said that my husband was lying and that her husband had held onto the dog?

4:13 am

sprite

it is not as much a different planet, it is the result of tens of thousands of years of evolution, and difference in responsibilites and tasks. It is only very short (in evolutionary terms) that men and women have been able to do the same things.

4:13 am

sandyloo

LOL

4:14 am

sprite

rubyfoo: yes, it isn't black and white, some men and women have capacities from the 'other' side.

4:14 am

rubyfoo

they want me to drop the charges so the dog won't be euthanized but no way! The man came to the house and said they could put him in jail for 4 months.

4:14 am

sandyloo

well Ruby, that would make the whole thing a lot worse if he was telling the truth, he disappeared and did not offer help and the police had to track him down

4:15 am

sprite

yes you did, and the woman is crazy. If that had been the case, and he HAD acted responsibly, you would have had his name and address from the start. So excuse my french, but BULLSHIT.

4:15 am

rubyfoo

and they only got the woman to admit the attack AFTER they saw bloody dog prints on her steps

4:15 am

sprite

have you reported to the police that he came to your house and pressured you to drop the charges?

4:15 am

rubyfoo

how do you say that in Dutch? hahah

4:15 am

sprite

Flauwekul!

4:15 am

rubyfoo

no, I guess I should do that

4:16 am

sandyloo

They should be in MORE trouble if he is telling the truth!!

4:16 am

sprite

yes you really should, I think. It shows they are guilty as hell, for one thing, and I think it may be illegal.

4:16 am

rubyfoo

I will e-mail the gendarme

4:16 am

sprite

true, sandy!

4:17 am

rubyfoo

I think the mayor is coming to call today or tomorrow

4:17 am

rubyfoo

I love this place!!!!

4:18 am

sandyloo

Ruby when TO told you not to speak to him, she was absolutely correct. Your words to him could be used in a court of law and twisted. Do not converse with him

4:18 am

sprite

at least it is over and done with your isolation there, rubyfoo :) People know you better now, and I really hope you will have more friends from now on.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

I wouldn't again, that's for sure, I was taken by surprise, especially when the wife telephoned

4:19 am

sprite

it is almost impossible to be prepared for such things, rubyfoo. We learn as we go, so I think, just report it and don't feel bad you talked to them.

4:20 am

rubyfoo

the only isolation comes from me, I think, and the fact that my friends here don't speak English and although they are kissy and all that, it is pretty formal in the end

4:21 am

sandyloo

That is the trouble , it is the natural thing to do to respond, next time just say it is in the hands of the law and hang up

4:21 am

rubyfoo

this chog is more open then the communication amongst local ladies, even though I've been here 12 years

4:21 am

rubyfoo

and only in babble since December

4:21 am

sprite

it must be hard to live in a place where they do not speak your language.

4:22 am

sprite

yes, but this is a special place, I think.

4:22 am

rubyfoo

I can't complain as I am the one who chose it!

4:22 am

sandyloo

I think Babble is fabulousd

4:22 am

sprite

no need to complain, but no need to ignore the consequences either, maybe

4:23 am

rubyfoo

I always wanted to live here and think that the villagers accept us very well and, BTW, like my husband who always greets them in the street

4:23 am

rubyfoo

and they love my Ruby!

4:23 am

sandyloo

and the Tour is nearby LOL

4:23 am

sprite

and do they love you?

4:23 am

rubyfoo

first and foremost, Sandy!

4:23 am

sandyloo

I bet they do

4:24 am

rubyfoo

I hope so!

4:24 am

sprite

that is the most important thing, lol

4:24 am

sandyloo

How could they not!!

4:24 am

sandyloo

Do you have nice neighbours Sprite?

4:25 am

sandyloo

We have a mix, but I get on with them all.

4:25 am

rubyfoo

They certainly telephone often and have done so since the beginning. The main problem is that we are on a very American schedule; when I am cooking, they are having coffee. When I could come over, they are cooking. Dinner is totally out, because we eat at 6, they eat at 8.

4:25 am

sprite

I have wonderful neighbours. At one side a couple with 3 grown children, who are loving, caring and always willing to help... more like parents to me than my own ever have been.

4:25 am

rubyfoo

that is wonderful, Sprite!

4:25 am

sandyloo

I am very happy to hear that Sprite, and how could they not love you?

4:26 am

sprite

and on the other side a young couple with a baby and a 4 yo. Friendly, helpful, just extremely noisy, but they are worth the frustration from that.

4:26 am

rubyfoo

I also think, given this recent mess, that it is very important to accept help when it is offered

4:26 am

rubyfoo

it makes everybody feel better and is very welcome on my side. And I share fruit and jam whenever anybody visits

4:26 am

sprite

and the little square where we live is special, we have square parties every 5 years, just celebrated the 30 year's existance of the square. People all know eachother and get along.

4:27 am

sandyloo

That is very important Ruby, people like to feel that they can give support

4:27 am

sprite

wow rubyfoo, that is a wonderful insight.

4:27 am

rubyfoo

that is lovely. Our village is a little bit spread out for that, but we certainly know everybody (and like all of them) whose houses are near to ours

4:28 am

sandyloo

also, think of how it makes us feel when we help, I think I get more out of that than the person I help

4:28 am

rubyfoo

my husband, for example, sees accepting help as weakness

4:28 am

rubyfoo

but maybe that's another "male" thing!

4:28 am

sandyloo

Once again, a male thing

4:28 am

sprite

read the book, read the book, read the book!

4:29 am

sprite

LOL :D

4:29 am

rubyfoo

and if you both visit me this week, I will share warm tomatoes from my garden and wonderful, big blackberries!!!!

4:29 am

rubyfoo

SNAP!

4:29 am

sprite

I'd love to, rubyfoo. It is quite a drive though, for me, lol.

4:30 am

sandyloo

One day, I will be visiting Ruby, so make sure that the blackberries are in season(quite a drive for me)

4:30 am

rubyfoo

I know, but you both know that you would be welcome!!! That's what is important

4:30 am

sandyloo

and Sprite , I will be seeing you one day too

4:30 am

sprite

hahahaha sandy, you cannot drive, you will have to swim.

4:30 am

rubyfoo

I'll make sure that I have at least one jar of each kind of jam set aside with Sandy's name on it!

4:31 am

sprite

I really want to, sandy. I want to so much!

4:31 am

rubyfoo

I think that it will happen! You see, another optimistic woman

4:31 am

rubyfoo

if women weren't brave and optimistic, the human race would have died out a long time ago

4:31 am

sandyloo

We will be going to Europe in the next few years so be prepared for a lunch together

4:32 am

sprite

that is true, rubyfoo, that that is the important thing. I don't see some of my friends much. But with some, I can really feel we often think of eachother, and so do they, and it doesn't matter we don't get to see eachother. We feel connected anyway.

4:32 am

sprite

and if men (generalising now) weren't reckless and fearless and protective, women would have disappeared a long time ago.

4:33 am

rubyfoo

that is very true, Sprite, and the Internet has been a great help. I have actually made old friends closer with this tool and since I retired. That helps, too

4:33 am

sprite

oh wonderful sandy. I am prepared. Will do what I can to make that meeting happen.

4:33 am

sprite

yes, internet is a splendid thing.

4:33 am

sandyloo

Sprite, if we disappeared so would they , we need eachother

4:33 am

sandrafrances

FIREWORKS

4:33 am

gratz sandra

4:33 am

sandrafrances

does anyone need clues before i go

4:34 am

rubyfoo

and we have a lovely guestroom and bath on the same floor as my studio and the garden

4:34 am

sprite

not for me, thank you sandra, but thanks for the offer.

4:34 am

sandyloo

well done there Sandra, I have 53 left and Sprite and ruby are stopping me from getting there

4:34 am

rubyfoo

yes, please, for the right-hand e

4:34 am

sprite

yes sandy, we need eachother, and though we are not equal, we are of equal value :)

4:34 am

sprite

*whacks sandy's hands away from the keyboard*

4:34 am

sandyloo

Ruby, I would not impose , but I would think of staying at a guesthouse or something

4:35 am

sandrafrances

or el..

4:35 am

rubyfoo

it would not be an imposition! And that goes for you, too, Sprite

4:35 am

sandyloo

But if you ever came here, and our house was built, I would insist you stayed with us

4:35 am

sprite

hehehe nice cl** :)

4:35 am

sandrafrances

or el.. =4-4

4:36 am

rubyfoo

don't get it....

4:36 am

sprite

thank you, rubyfoo. That is really special.

4:36 am

sprite

sandra is speaking in a threatening voice. Do what I say... or el**

4:36 am

sandrafrances

el 4 4 = "you give me that or el..

4:37 am

sandrafrances

rubyfoo go down to the left diagonal

4:37 am

Ihave to go and feed horses, rug horses, light the fire and cook dinner and try to cheer everyone up

4:37 am

rubyfoo

4:38 am

sandrafrances

bye all

4:38 am

sprite

sandy, good luck with that all! And remember to not try and cheer everybody up. Just be cheerful. *hugs*

4:38 am

sprite

thank you sandra, bye

4:38 am

sandyloo

I need both e s for nbt

4:38 am

rubyfoo

sing to them sandy! And tell your husband how much worse it could be; you could give him my "pep talk" hahah

4:38 am

sandyloo

but I have to go bbl , love chatting with you

4:39 am

sprite

lol better not, telling how much worse things could be tends to make them worry even more.

4:39 am

rubyfoo

that was ty now*, not not

4:39 am

rubyfoo

{{{big hugs sandy!!!}}}

4:39 am

sandyloo

LOL Sprite

4:39 am

rubyfoo

hahah

4:40 am

rubyfoo

making lunch now {{sprite}} this was a lovely koffee klatsch!!

4:40 am

sprite

it sure was. Bye rubyfoo, all the best :)

4:42 am

redturtlehead

morning, I think this must be an easier grid, as I have gotten to half in less than one hour.

4:42 am

sprite

hi red :) Yes it is relatively friendly. A bit unflexible around the P, for me anyway.

4:43 am

redturtlehead

yes, i only have haf the p so far. its 77 degrees where, I am getting a chill!

4:44 am

sprite

*throws a nice, soft blanket over red's shoulders*

4:45 am

redturtlehead

Awwww thanks, its a good chill, but accepts blanket anyway!

4:45 am

sprite

:D It will come in handy one day, for certain sure ;)

4:45 am

redturtlehead

How is terra and the restof the family?

4:46 am

sprite

terra is having the time of his life. My husband has taught him to sit in a basket on the steer of the bicycle. He goes everywhere and gets to explore new places, new smells, everywhere they go.

4:46 am

redturtlehead

Sounds like husband is also having the time of his life!!!!!

4:47 am

sprite

my love has his holiday now, so lots of time for fun things. We went to the woods yesterday, I even walked a little bit. Delightful. Kids are fine, enjoying the school holidays, sleeping in, going out to stay with my sister, doing camps, etc.

4:48 am

sprite

oh yes, my husband, who was strongly opposed to getting a dog and agreed finally only on the condition he wouldn't be bothered with it, is the most besotted of the whole family :)

4:49 am

redturtlehead

Of course that is often the way things work... and perfectly too!

4:50 am

sprite

yes it is so lovely to see. I am going to put up a load of pictures on Flickr again, so you will be able to see for yourself soon. They are cute together :D

4:51 am

redturtlehead

Oh, I must now go enjoy the cold weather running....still feeling sleepy so hopefully will get a lot done before I awaken.

4:51 am

sprite

of course it helps that Terra is such a sweetie.

4:51 am

sprite

ok, enough about me, lol. Red, how are you?

4:52 am

sprite

fireflies !

4:54 am

sprite

red, have a great run, and *hugs*

5:32 am

sandyloo

sprite, is it hard to put things on flickr

5:32 am

sandyloo

bye the way, I am back , all jobs done or underway

5:32 am

sandyloo

well done sprite

5:33 am

sandyloo

am I all alone?

5:35 am

herinfernallady

pounce

5:35 am

sandyloo

lol hi herin

5:35 am

herinfernallady

I could have done my usually

5:36 am

sandyloo

Herin, is it hard to put things on Flickr

5:36 am

herinfernallady

No but i don't find it secure

5:36 am

sandyloo

I might try

5:36 am

herinfernallady

I use it for fluff pics not pesonal pics

5:36 am

sandyloo

I dont care who sees my photos, they would be quite respectable

5:36 am

herinfernallady

You can use your yahoo account

5:37 am

sandyloo

Herin, that is a foreign language to me (computer illiterate)

5:37 am

herinfernallady

I mean I don't use it for personal stuff as I have got a really creepy comment before.

5:37 am

herinfernallady

Do you have a Yahoo email account?

5:37 am

sandyloo

no I dont

5:38 am

herinfernallady

Ok you shouldn't have too much help

5:38 am

herinfernallady

trouble

5:38 am

sandyloo

I will work it out , I have never tried - but keep in mind I cant even put messages or pics on facebook ..

5:38 am

herinfernallady

Ok

5:39 am

sandyloo

working out the icon thing was a major step forward in my life LOL

5:40 am

herinfernallady

bless you

5:40 am

sandyloo

Husband had a car accident today (he is fine) ran into the back of someone , his brakes locked or something and he skidded a couple of car lenths

5:40 am

sandyloo

lengths

5:40 am

sandyloo

he is really upset about it , (you know what men are like) and he will have to use mine for a while

5:40 am

herinfernallady

O gees

5:41 am

sandyloo

luckily (I panicked for a mo) the insurance, licenses etc, are all paid up

5:42 am

herinfernallady

I am watching Rescue Special Ops talk about giving me the irrites

5:42 am

sandyloo

what is that?

5:43 am

herinfernallady

On Channel 9. I watch it because it is usually good today it is stupid.

5:43 am

sandyloo

ah, I guess we always watch what we have recorded on foxtell

5:44 am

sandyloo

we can zoom through the ads

5:44 am

herinfernallady

There is some key things that make me go der ovbious

5:45 am

herinfernallady

Can't afford Fox tell

5:45 am

sandyloo

neither can we at the moment, but we are .......

5:45 am

herinfernallady

Just have to suck it up for us

5:45 am

rubyfoo

hello again. Lunch is over and I just made myself an after-lunch drink of smushed blackberries, sugar and a little bit of vodka

5:46 am

herinfernallady

Hi Ruby

5:47 am

sandyloo

just what i need Ruby- I made icecream with strawberries soaked in strawberry liquer last night, it was so yummy

5:47 am

sandyloo

We dont eat lunch here , just nibble during the day, not good for the metabolism tho

5:49 am

rubyfoo

I eat a big breakfast, a so-so lunch and very small dinner. Husband eats a bigger lunch and dinner and not enough breakfast. But since we all (dogs, too) eat differently, I don't care

5:49 am

sandyloo

sounds healthy

5:49 am

herinfernallady

Ok I am going to go play games

5:49 am

rubyfoo

The blackberries are phenomenal that way. Fruit is wonderful in France in the summer, so it's the only time I eat it (bad Nel)

5:50 am

herinfernallady

loves

5:50 am

sandyloo

my art teacher has lost weight by eating his dinner in the morning and his breakfast at night

5:51 am

sandyloo

Ruby, I was lurking earlier on and I see that you are an artist

5:51 am

rubyfoo

I spoke with my son yesterday and where he lives, in Austin, the "locavore" food movement is very big and there are lots of local farmers who bring their produce to town. His wife is a (rabid, if you'll pardon the expression) vegetarian, so they eat wonderful stuff at home. My slightly chub son eats his burgers when he's out or with his band

5:52 am

rubyfoo

and I was just going to ask you, what kind of art lessons are you taking?

5:53 am

rubyfoo

Next year, I'll have my own strawberries, Sandy, so keep that in mind!

5:53 am

sandyloo

LOL , my Diana is a vegetarian but I think it is unhealthy for her but she has been since she was 10 years old, I have not been able to change her but she does eat fish and cheese and eggs etc

5:53 am

sandyloo

I am doing drawing at the moment but I want to paint, I have done a couple of paintings which I like and a few more which I hate

5:54 am

rubyfoo

his wife started when she was a child, too; she came from a very large (7 kids) poor Irish family and I think had terrible food at home. She is too extreme, though, doesn't eat fish or eggs, so she's always been anaemic

5:54 am

sandyloo

and she is slightly chub

5:54 am

rubyfoo

so is John's wife which I find very funny

5:55 am

rubyfoo

I think they fill up on bread and cheese and are never quite satisfied, so they nibble

5:55 am

sandyloo

I know a lot of people who went that route who have recently changed back and say they feel so much better, I dont think it suits women, they need some meat

5:56 am

sandyloo

I believe everything in moderation except wine

5:56 am

rubyfoo

I majored in Fine Arts in college with a minor in Art History and then got an MA in Fine Arts and was an elementary art teacher for my first career.

5:57 am

rubyfoo

I'm lucky about food. I get very specific cravings, like for eggs, which I never ignore, and basically eat whatever I want.

5:57 am

sandyloo

Wow , you have more than one career? My daughter Rebecca is a good artist

5:58 am

sandyloo

I eat what I want, my thing is that if i dont do exercise i put on weight, so the farm helps (but not as much as i would like)

5:58 am

rubyfoo

However, I have the advantage of having grown up in a candy store and having had all the candy and ice cream and sweet soft drinks I wanted, so now don't much care about sweets. A litre of ice cream lasts 2 months in the freezer

5:58 am

sandyloo

I believe in not suffering and I love food

5:58 am

rubyfoo

In what medium does she work?

5:59 am

rubyfoo

I love food, but mostly when others cook it. I used to be a serious cook, but it's too much trouble since B likes his stuff one way, dogs eat another way and it's hard to bother about what I eat.

5:59 am

sandyloo

she has done some great ceramic work and alsosome pieces where she has used a lot of funny sorts or materials which she sticks onto the canvas or whatever, she is the architect

6:00 am

rubyfoo

I have a bad back and what they say is "Every lb. on your body is 10 on your spine!"

6:00 am

rubyfoo

Does she have any photos in FB or in her e-mail?

6:01 am

sandyloo

You are quite small tho , I think - she doesnt she is not that serious

6:01 am

rubyfoo

I would love to see her stuff

6:01 am

sandyloo

she has photos of herself LOL

6:01 am

sandyloo

I would love to see your stuff, you are obviously a serious artist

6:02 am

rubyfoo

I am very short and weigh less than 100. When I was in college, I was a little taller but very muscular (ran track and danced) and weighed about 120!

6:03 am

rubyfoo

I will try to e-mail you some photos of drawings that I have in my TOO VAST photo file. I am a terrible pack rat and have a computer filled with stuff. If I ever lose my files, my life will disappear!

6:04 am

sandyloo

I will also send you some more photos but only know how to send one at a time (duh)

6:04 am

rubyfoo

I don't do anything any more except for one set of drawings of quince which I gave to John and which are in facebook.

6:04 am

rubyfoo

Would you like flowers and house and dogs, too?

6:05 am

sandyloo

in drawings?

6:05 am

sandyloo

hmm, am I your friend on facebook?

6:06 am

rubyfoo

Tell me the truth, do you think I am a bad person letting my husband drive alone to Geneva to his dentist tomorrow? He has been 4 times in the past month and I find the trip exhausting, but if you say I should go, I will listen to you.....

6:06 am

rubyfoo

no, in photos

6:06 am

sandyloo

Ok, the most important thing is - does he want you to go?

6:07 am

sandyloo

yes, I love all photos

6:07 am

rubyfoo

I have most of my photos in a form for e-mail but my son put the quince in my FB wall. I don't think we're FB friends

6:07 am

rubyfoo

no, he wants to go alone as a way of showing that he's OK

6:08 am

sandyloo

can you send me a request, I dont go on facebook much as I prefer emails but will go and look at photos

6:08 am

rubyfoo

my FB name is Nancy Kelley but I think there are 100's of others with the same name

6:08 am

sandyloo

If he feels confident to go, I think you should let him as long as you feel he will be ok- if not make sure his insurance is up to date

6:09 am

rubyfoo

should I use your e-mail address for that? I never invite anybody...you are not the only computer illiterate. Perhaps we should same computer illiterati!!!

6:09 am

rubyfoo

hahah

6:09 am

rubyfoo

say, not same*

6:09 am

sandyloo

I think so , dont ask me , I dont know how to send a request LOL

6:09 am

Anniebrook

please count me in the computer illiterati club

6:09 am

rubyfoo

I'll try it and we'll see what happens

6:10 am

sandyloo

I think I am the only one on this site!

6:10 am

sandyloo

hi annie

6:10 am

Anniebrook

hi sandy

6:11 am

Anniebrook

I cant even change my icon, how pitiful is that

6:11 am

rubyfoo

hello annie! illiterati it is, then. It's funny because my son is a data base administrator, whatever that means, trained by Oracle.

6:11 am

rubyfoo

Neither can I. It's embarrassing. And people keep explaining how to do it. Son's wife was here and changed my icon in 5 minutes

6:11 am

Anniebrook

hi ruby..

6:12 am

rubyfoo

All I can is type fast

6:12 am

rubyfoo

can do*

6:12 am

rubyfoo

I didn't say accurately, lol

6:12 am

Anniebrook

ruby, inquity sent me the instructions how to get on Babble Expert and I couldnt do it. when my daughter was here she did it in 5 minutes. I stood there in frustration.

6:13 am

sandyloo

Ruby and Annie , do you have babble expert?

6:13 am

rubyfoo

is it worth the trouble, do you think?

6:13 am

Anniebrook

I do.

6:13 am

sandyloo

Ruby it is fablulous, and really worth having

6:13 am

rubyfoo

I don't, but I don't even list as I never bothered to figure it out and decided that what I get, I get

6:14 am

sandyloo

do you still have the email Annie?

6:14 am

Anniebrook

ruby, you have the clues on the side of the grid which you can hide and have them when you want them

6:14 am

Anniebrook

I think I do

6:14 am

rubyfoo

Is it safe to put my e-mail address in my profile? I am always reluctant

6:15 am

sandyloo

How about you forward it to Ruby, I dont have it anymore, I am sure she would love it

6:15 am

sandyloo

Annie you could send it to me and I could forward it to Ruby

6:15 am

rubyfoo

OK, putting address into my profile (hahah)

6:16 am

Anniebrook

ruby, if you want babble expert, give my your address (afs2820@gmail.com and I will send it to you

6:16 am

Anniebrook

sandy, right now I am on babble if I want to go to AOL where I think I still have the instructions I have to close expert and open AOL, am I correct?

6:17 am

rubyfoo

I just put my address in my profile

6:17 am

Anniebrook

okay, ruby, will send it to you in a bit..have to close expert, I think.

6:18 am

rubyfoo

I wrote down yur address Annie, thank you.

6:18 am

sandyloo

Annie all I can say is LOL - I always open another thing to do anything else, that is all I can say

6:18 am

rubyfoo

Every time I try to do anything but play, I have to go all the way out and back. I am really dumb at computers!

6:19 am

sandyloo

I diminish expert and open another window in IE or Mozilla

6:19 am

rubyfoo

I've loved the chat, but only have 68 words. I'm sending a note to Annie and will send you some photos later, Sandy.

6:19 am

it was a wonderful time.

7:02 am

Mom, she is going to be a great daughter in law!

7:02 am

Mom

Alex, our youngest came over also but I didn't get to spend much time with him. :(

7:02 am

7:07 am

Mom

that sounds like a great time

7:07 am

Anniebrook

Mom, yes it is and we had a great lunch in their cafeteria.

7:08 am

Mom

how many children do you have Annie, I think (if memory serves me correctly) a son and a daughter?

7:09 am

Anniebrook

Mom, I have a daughter who is 42, she has 2 sons. My son is 44. He has Down Syndrome and he still lives with me. Bobby is a great human being and is accepted by all my friends. I take him all over. He works.

7:10 am

Anniebrook

Well, I dont take him all over but you get the picture.

7:10 am

Mom

oh Annie, you have a wonderful family

7:10 am

Mom

I get the picture

7:11 am

Anniebrook

(((Mom))) LOL

7:11 am

Mom

What type of work does Bobby do?

7:12 am

Anniebrook

Mom, He works in a sheltered workshop and he takes the city bus back and forth from work. It is only one bus so it is easy for him.

7:12 am

Mom

Our grocery stores employ a great many people with Down's, they are all a lively bunch.

7:13 am

Anniebrook

Bobby has had the opportunity to work in supermarkets but he prefers to stay in the workshop.

7:14 am

Mom

that is so wonderful Annie. When I was growing up, they tended to put the Down's children in institutions. I could never imagine giving one of mine up.

7:14 am

Mom

Well he should stay where he is happiest

7:15 am

Anniebrook

Mom, I was told to do that but I couldnt and I am so happy I didnt. Yes, Bobby is polite and always in good humor.

11:56 am

Afternoon, all. Une's post just prompted me to read Jellen's last entry. Heart breaking. I guess Tim didn't want to be bothered with that nursing home.

11:56 am

Nancy Boy

Hiya, NB.

I propose we all change our icons to lighted candles.

11:57 am

wildcat17

judi you picked the same flowers I did

11:58 am

Nancy Boy

I'm for that, Judi. I didn't actually know why everyone had changed their icons into flowers before it was too late..

11:58 am

Judi

Oh, jeech, wildcat! I didn't even notice. Copycat!

11:59 am

crosshair

Good to hear it, Eva! I was thinking about you yesterday - my flatmate was giving me a much-needed head massage, and I was hoping you were feeling as indulged as I was ;)

12:14 pm

Mom

12:15 pm

Judi

See ya,Mom!

12:15 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Mom! I'm sure Crossy would have objected to sharing a womb with me, I tend to stretch out when I'm asleep.

12:15 pm

EvaNadine

ooh, i think you may have been even more indulged that i!
though i also thought of you when we passed a posse of young asian boys at the sushi place in our neighborhood. ;)

12:15 pm

12:15 pm

Mom

Good choice of flat mates, NB! Hope he doesn't send you his bill at the end of the month.

12:17 pm

12:38 pm

rubyfoo

I'm too old! I knew punk the first time around: Sid Vicious, B52's, X

12:38 pm

dcseain

anachronistic Victorian emphasizing the Vic-era tech and combining it with modern electronics and touches.

12:39 pm

crosshair

12:39 pm

Anniebrook

Damn, I just got the bad news about Tim. I wish I could change my icon to a candle but i can't do it. I have been trying for two days.

12:40 pm

stidmama

Annie, it's okay.

12:41 pm

Nancy Boy

Well Stid, basically, you do a handstand over a keg (friends usually hold you up) and, in that position, glug down as much beer as you can. So...messy, but funny to watch.

12:41 pm

stidmama

sounds, um. juvenile. *shrug*

12:41 pm

stidmama

thanks for letting me know, Nancy Boy!

12:41 pm

crosshair

My heart has rooms that sigh with
dust and ashes in the hearth.
They must be cleaned and blown
away by daylights break.
But i cannot essay the task,
For even dust to me is dear;
For dust and ashes still
recall, My love was here.
I know not how to say farewell,
when farewell is the word that
stays alone for me to say
or will be heard.
But I cannot speak out that word,
or ever let my loved one go.
How can I bear it that these
rooms are so empty so?
I sit among the dust and hope
that dust will cover me.
I stir the ashes in the hearth,
thou cold they be.
I cannot bear to close the door,
to seal my loneliness away
while dust and ashes yet
remain of my Loves day.

12:56 pm

lexophile

now that I have an actual icon, I'm not so embarrassed to chat! I feel like I almost know many of you ;)

12:57 pm

2:18 pm

redturtlehead

Wonders if she would like it.

2:18 pm

daykat

2:18 pm

wildcat17

2:18 pm

daykat

feather - did we raise that much money?

2:18 pm

wildcat17

I'm so glad you sent the flowers when you did

2:18 pm

featherbee

2:19 pm

featherbee

2:19 pm

redturtlehead

I think she owuld appreciate it.

2:19 pm

EvaNadine

2:19 pm

daykat

featherbee

2:20 pm

daykat

2:21 pm

wildcat17

6:42 pm

pam

As feather has heard me say, I have to wait for the iPhone to leave AT&T, so I live vicariously

6:42 pm
