3:27 am

3:28 am
mrpresident
my phantom: pullovers
3:28 am
rubyfoo
does making 4 pots of jelly count?
3:28 am
rubyfoo
and, at least, 10 flights of stairs?
3:30 am
mrpresident
no ruby... you have to walk fast for at least 30 minutes a day!! that will get oxygen in and get tiredness out!
3:30 am
rubyfoo
I used to be a runner, could run for an hour, but it's been a long time.....
3:30 am

hey Kallia :)
4:53 am
Kallia
you all settled in back home now sprite?
4:54 am
sprite
yes, a lot better now. Trying to work through the house one bit at a time and it seems to work out :)
How are you?
4:54 am
Kallia
Iam good thanks, thinking that I really should do some housework today lol
4:55 am
Kallia
but doesn't really rock my boat!
4:55 am
sprite
hehehe it is not the most fun thing to do, is it.
4:56 am
Kallia
nope, but it is cooler today so I think I will do at least some
4:57 am
sprite
I have this bad habit of doing way too much on one day, then being forced to rest and heal for a couple of days. Trying to learn to do a bit, then stop, lol. Not my strong suit.
4:59 am
Kallia
I've learnt not to work like that Sprite....it will all still be there tomorrow, and as long as the bathroom and kitchen are done daily, it desn't much matter about the rest
5:01 am
sprite
I guess you are right. It's only that when you start, you keep seeing things that aren't clean or in place etc.
5:01 am
sprite
but I have been doing it well for a couple of days already, and will stop in time again today :)
5:01 am
Kallia
yep, I know all about that lol
5:01 am
Kallia
I used to do the whole house in one day
5:02 am
sprite
lol exactly
5:02 am
Kallia
good its much better to conserve your energy
5:03 am
sprite
yes and I console myself with the knowledge that in the end, more gets done this way.
5:03 am
Kallia
but then I used to do lots of silly things, work full time, and stay up all night decorating,,,,,really stupid when I think back...spent 10 years of my life knackered!
5:04 am
Kallia
got made redundant and decided to reassess my lifeand work out what was really important to me and my family
5:04 am
sprite
oh I know! Me too. Full time job, full time study, counselor practice at the side... house always clean as a whistle. Looking back, I am not surprised I collapsed, lol.
5:05 am
sprite
must have been tough, Kallia. But it looks like you made it work for you!
5:06 am
Kallia
oh yes, now I have a small house (no kids at home just me and DH) enough money to live simply and my art
5:06 am
Kallia
and no stresses, unless they are self induced lol
5:07 am
Kallia
buyour lefe get taken over like that again...t you are getting better Sprite, and you will never let
5:07 am
sprite
oh wow, well done! That is what I am aiming for. We are already looking at smaller houses, even though the kids are still living with us and will for another 4-5 years at least.
5:08 am
Kallia
oopsthat got all muddled lol
5:08 am
sprite
I believe you. And I will make it work for me too.
5:08 am
sprite
lol yes but I understand what you said.
5:09 am
Kallia
we have a caravan, and go off and disappear sometimes,away from phones and computers
5:09 am
sprite
I want peace in my life. Time for myself and my loved ones. A bit of health as far as I can influence that.
5:10 am
sprite
that is great too. My phone is usually off. But I still use the computer too much.
5:10 am
Kallia
you will get there sprite.....it isn't material things that give you that
5:10 am
Kallia
oh so do I when I'm at home...research for art you know lol
5:10 am
sprite
no, you are so very right.
5:11 am
sprite
hehehe well I can say truly that when I am away from home, I do not miss my computer much. Only babble.
5:12 am
Kallia
nice having a chat, but I am going now....have 57 left, which may or may not get done. Have a good day and don't do too much :)
5:12 am

Hi Hurshy. How is your summer going? Still in New Haven?
9:38 am

Crossy, I need to set up my doc visits too--internist, gyn, derm...
9:38 am
hurshy
my sister is thinking of getting a rabbit when the kids get a little older. thinks it would be a good first pet. the only thing is, i think she is idealizing what it will be like and maybe thinking it will be significantly easier than, say, cats, which i doubt. would you say a rabbit is about the same amount of work as a cat? any other things she should know?
9:39 am
crosshair
crossy has a funny feeling he is going to be cut off of everthing but distilled water,tofu and bean sprouts:(
9:39 am
hurshy
my summer is going ok and yes, still in new haven for a few more years.
9:40 am
hurshy
oh, and you might have missed me reporting that my cousin lost a leg in afghanistan. he is now at walter reed. he had pneumonia as a result but i guess it's improved, although his temp keeps randomly spiking. i guess one's body can have a lot of crazy reactions to such a major trauma.
9:40 am
Scrabbler
www.rabbit.org This is a good place to start. There are 41 breeds in the US, of different sizes and appearances. Spaying/neutering is essential. Having a rabbit-savvy vet is crucial too. House rabbits are similar to cats--litter box trained, smart, adorable.
9:41 am

I wish our back yard wasn't so jungley and riddled with poison ivy. I'd be crawling around in there at cat level if I could.
9:54 am

And thorns. How could I forget the thorns.
9:54 am
Scrabbler
Oh, no, Judi. How long has kitty been missing?
9:55 am
Judi
Since Tuesday evening of this week, Scrabbs. I am just beside myself with worry.
9:56 am
Scrabbler
I would be crazy too, unable to sleep or think of anything else. I assume you have done searches all over?
9:57 am
Judi
High and low. Everywhere we could think of for the past three days. Put up notices around the neighborhood, but ad on Craigslist. No calls. Not a peep.
9:57 am
Scrabbler
Cover yourself thoroughly and comb the woods. Then wash everything with Tecnu or another similar product that gets rid of rhus.
9:57 am
Scrabbler
Has kitty ever done this before?
9:58 am
Judi
Hubby poked around in some of the more inhospitable hedgerows the last two nights. So, he's been getting the Technu treatment. Have only had kitty three months. She's a year old.
10:00 am
Judi
She's only been out a few times and always stayed within view of the house and always came back in within 30 minutes. She just shot out the slider the other day before we could stop her.
10:03 am

I wish I were there to help. But it sounds like you are doing everything possible. What is her name?

it will be better once the elder kid leaves -- he is telling untruths about his experience in the college-in-high school program he didn't do well in. He was offered significant assistance, but refused it. NOW he is telling someone that I lied to a specialist about what he is like and that he didn't have anyone offering help... *sigh*

11:47 am
JBV
hi cyber - you just reminded me to go and hug my son (live-in tech support!) - he does stuff like that all the time and I forgot how lucky I am
11:47 am
carleekat

11:48 am
JBV

11:48 am
JBV
mrp - sounds like the footprint of someone you know....
11:48 am
mrpresident

11:49 am

11:58 am

11:58 am
rururocks

12:00 pm
crosshair
we used to have people who would "talk" to problem people.we convinced them that our "clients safety" was of prime concern and it was now therr prime concern as well,cause no matter what bothered our client,we would come to them for explanations.very interesting now they have to watch..not us lol
12:00 pm
rururocks
if he is trepassing.. lickety can take the matter in his own hands
12:00 pm
mrpresident
he walked up to the police station at 1am the other night and let them know that if they didn't do something, he would! I was not a smart move

there need to be more places like new haven's Gourmet Heaven! they have this lunch buffet bar where you just make yourself a plate and they charge you by the pound. they have fabulous fresh fruit and lots of dishes to choose from and you can have a little of a lot of things instead of most places where you just pick one sandwich or whatever. it's SO lovely.
12:26 pm

sounds wonderful, hurshy
12:26 pm

We know it best for its unforgettable roles in flameproof insulation and class-action lawsuits, but asbestos got its official start in the first century, when Roman author Pliny the Elder noted the natural mineral fiber’s resistance to fire. Though he slightly discredited himself by also lauding asbestos for being impermeable to attacks by dark wizards, he did point out one trait that modern researchers should have paid more attention to: slaves who worked with asbestos tended to develop lung problems.

hey all! guten tag, inge!
2:17 pm
stidmama
hi sue! was thinking I was going to have to leave without "seeing" anyone! how is your day going?
2:18 pm
stidmama
Mine is getting better -- I just need reassurance that kids really do grow up and eventually figure "it" all out.
2:20 pm
uusue2
pretty good, stid, we talked to the lawyer and I am sort of reassured about monday's hearing (although the bill was a bit of a jaw-dropper)
2:21 pm
uusue2
and I am still waiting for the "grow up and eventually figure "it" all out" part although he is getting better at it...
2:22 pm
stidmama
***many hugs*** if I remind you to keep breathing and taking time for yourself ... (it's what I need, too)
2:23 pm
stidmama
I DID do something that was difficult for me this morning! *proud job-seeking mama look*
2:23 pm
stidmama
I CALLED someone and asked for what I need from them as a reference!!!!
2:24 pm
uusue2
yay, stid!!! that's always tough
2:24 pm
stidmama
especially for me. There are only three people I have ever called without having to "rehearse" in advance -- Mother, Granny and one of my friends.
2:25 pm
stidmama
oh -- and Tom -- I guess he counts as a people too.
2:25 pm
uusue2
wow, i just found out that I can subscribe to Fantasy and Science Fiction magazine for free on my Kindle!!!
2:26 pm
stidmama
for REAL??? *wonders where Tom's Kindle is*
2:26 pm
stidmama
I wonder if I can use the Kindle app on my MAC to get that one.
2:26 pm
uusue2
I've gotten much better about talking to people now that I have been teaching for 29 years....
2:27 pm
uusue2
I don't actually have a Kindle but I do have the app on my phone (life has become quite amazing...)
2:28 pm

*Pats Stid on the back*
2:28 pm

Isn't it cool? Sometimes it makes me think we are living in the Eureka show from the sci-fi channel
2:28 pm

thanks Molly!

It sometimes amazes me that we Mothers have instilled confidence in our kids that we haven't found ourselves yet.
2:30 pm
uusue2
cute, stid :-)
2:30 pm
stidmama
excellent insight, molly!
2:31 pm
stidmama
now all we need is a physicist, a chemist and a baker to test this theory...
2:31 pm
uusue2
I found one in yesterday's grid: sonlag, the time between when my son says we have to go RIGHT NOW and the time when he is actually ready
2:32 pm
stidmama
roflmao!!!! only too true!
2:33 pm
stidmama
well down to a double-nickel score. pretty good for me. I wonder if the paint is dry on the trim ... I am doing two coats of high-gloss on the trim for the doors, and will go buy some 3/4 inch quarter round for a picture rail later. The room is actually coming together!
2:34 pm
uusue2
sounds lovely, stid! You'll have to post pictures when it's done!
2:34 pm
stidmama
it's overcast though, so the first coat is likely to still be tacky...
2:35 pm
stidmama
It will be, sue -- at least nicer than we had. I did one door's trim yesterday to be sure I liked the color and had a decent technique. All those years watching my father do this and I guess some of it "stuck"
2:35 pm
stidmama
I will definitely post pics.
2:36 pm
uusue2
I am not halfway yet but haven't been really pushing it...
2:38 pm
stidmama
I got a start earlier.
2:39 pm
stidmama
I find the words are coming in spurts
2:40 pm
uusue2
especially when there is a spurt of clues in the chog :-)
2:41 pm
stidmama
yes, that helps a LOT!
2:41 pm
stidmama
and of course I only just saw the "backside" ar 4 word. *sigh*
2:42 pm
uusue2
ha - didn't have that one
2:43 pm
stidmama
okay, down to 50. Want to take an eyeball break and check the paint... see you-all later. Thanks for being here, sue! *poof*

Good job Sue!
5:29 pm
uusue2
I now have three things daisy-chained together - the main modem, which provides TV and phone; the wireless modem, which provides internet; and the router, which allows everybody in the house to access said internet. Seems unnecessarily complicated but it works.
5:31 pm
MollyL
Just don't breathe too hard or bump the desk. : )
5:33 pm

5:56 pm
LisaG
thank you annie
5:56 pm
Anniebrook
pluot ??
5:56 pm
uusue2
su7 is like the yellow element, but ends in the first number
5:56 pm
LisaG
i dont have an su 7 yet
5:56 pm
uusue2
it's a plum/apricot hybrid
5:57 pm
uusue2
yellow element is su6, gives the rotten egg smell
5:57 pm
uusue2
(pluot is the plum/apricot hybrid, in case that was confusing)
5:57 pm
Anniebrook
I know the element, putting it together
5:58 pm
Anniebrook
ah, thanks
5:58 pm
LisaG

I swear, I must have the most white bread, generic grocery stores around me. I have never heard of, or seen, a lot of the foods you folks talk about buying in your grocery stores.
5:59 pm

i have had pluots before...
5:59 pm

6:20 pm
LisaG
lol...seems like a lot of work to put every word in...
6:20 pm
uusue2
less work than putting in 5 wrong words for every right one...
6:21 pm
MollyL
You can bulk add and past them Lisa. Copy all the words on this page and use the "Bulk Add" feature at the top of the page.
6:22 pm
LisaG
wow...i enter each word manually, never knew about bulk adding. Probably why I have only got fireworks one time!!
