Ugh. Move him back into the super-heated room for the night maybe?

2:42 am

grannyrose

nah, will finish this grid, email a few friends, do a couple of surveys, then get the hell outta here.

2:42 am

negativeneil

I see. Like jigsaw puzzles?

2:42 am

negativeneil

Because if so:

[scroll down a little and you'll see half a dozen that I've made from some of my photos]

2:43 am

grannyrose

rofl, not tonight, little buddy......oh, well, in that case, i guess i will look in on jigidi

2:44 am

negativeneil

"Little buddy"? Since when am I "little"? Haha.

2:45 am

grannyrose

age, of course....i beat you hands down on that score. the only time, but hey, i can gloat, can't i?

2:45 am

negativeneil

The 4 photos I'm not in are my photography.

2:47 am

negativeneil

How does age make you little, unless you're a kid? I'm just over 6' tall... not exactly little. ;)

2:48 am

grannyrose

ahhhh, there you have it my friend, good things come in small packages....and i'm lucky to hit 5 feet 3.....plus been around the block a few times more than you...

2:48 am

grannyrose

maybe that's why my knee hurts? lol

2:50 am

negativeneil

Could be? ;)

2:51 am

grannyrose

i have lots of D and M's with my 26 year old....he does teach me somethings...it helps to understand where your generation is coming from.

2:52 am

negativeneil

D and Ms?

2:53 am

grannyrose

and i have not forgotten what is was like to be young, and full of raging hormones....you guys think you are the only ones with hormones raging.....i could regale you for hours with stories off my misspent youth.

2:53 am

negativeneil

How is it I think that? Of course I don't.

2:53 am

negativeneil

Don't assume... I know better.

2:53 am

grannyrose

deep and meaningfuls....in depth discussions...on the universe and the meaning of Y

2:54 am

negativeneil

Oh yeah. I used to engage my parents in LOTS of those too.

2:55 am

negativeneil

Hey, have you ever seen that movie called:
"What The Bleep Do We Know"? If not, do.

2:56 am

grannyrose

neil never stop...it makes your parents feel that they are incloded in your life and happenings. your partner, i am sure, talks to you, and you to her...but please, don't leave the old folks out of the loop.

2:59 am

grannyrose

i am very fortunate to have developed a close relationship with my sons. ( well the eldest has gone his own way, thanx to an extremely spiteful spose, apparently i am spineless because i won't argue with her. as you know, i believe everyone is entitled to their opinion etc, and i will fight for their right to have it)

3:04 am

negativeneil

I haven't Rose. We talk a lot... we're a very close family and share everything.

3:05 am

negativeneil

Huh. Your son WANTS you to argue with his wife?

3:05 am

grannyrose

that is great news, neil.

3:05 am

negativeneil

I wouldn't be too happy if either of my parents wanted to argue with my g/f, so I don't understand that?

3:06 am

negativeneil

But so far it's all good... they haven't yet.

3:06 am

negativeneil

And I don't see it happening anytime soon.

3:07 am

grannyrose

neil, i didn't want to argue with her, but her opinion differed from mine, and i said...just let's agree to disagree. was that wrong?

3:07 am

negativeneil

Well no. How can that be wrong?

3:07 am

negativeneil

Sometimes arguing is pointless because neither party is going to change their opinion... so sometimes that's all you can do.

3:08 am

negativeneil

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion and you were just saying you didn't want to argue because she has a right to hers... as you do too.

3:09 am

gapeach

nite nite.

3:09 am

grannyrose

well, dear friend, it was the wrong answer, according to her....my son has not spoken to me, sent me a christmas, birthday, mother's day card since.

3:09 am

negativeneil

Night gapeach.

3:10 am

grannyrose

night peach, did i miss your fireworks?

3:10 am

negativeneil

Wow. That's really sad. :(

3:11 am

negativeneil

He only has one mom... who he won't have forever. He should think about that. What does he plan to do, keep this up indefinitely?

3:11 am

grannyrose

dear, i think... that is not the son i raised....this is a stranger, whose philosophies are now poles apart from mine. there doesn't seem to be any softness in him.

3:12 am

negativeneil

Yeah. Well we're not our parents. We have our own minds and we make of ourselves whatever and whoever we choose to become.

3:14 am

negativeneil

You know... parents teach and influence us when we're growing up, but past a certain point other people and situations do too. And we become our own people. I wonder why he's become like that?

3:14 am

grannyrose

how can i say this without appearing too bitter? when his father was diagnosed with termibal cancer, my son poured all his emotions into supporting his dad..i have NEVER criticised him for that. but somehow, i have become the big bad ogre who broke up his childhood.

3:15 am

negativeneil

Huh? Broke it up how?

3:15 am

sprite

good morning, Babble friends

3:16 am

grannyrose

so totally agree, neil. as a parent our resposibility stops when our children become adults. how else are they supposed to grow and mature?

3:16 am

negativeneil

I'll talk to you via email, Rose.

3:16 am

grannyrose

hey spritey

3:16 am

3:20 am

rbud

My mom had a dbl partial knee replacement, went smoothly and she was up and around in no time.

3:20 am

rbud

she was quite happy with it all.

3:21 am

sprite

I have a friend who really went through the mill... 2 stance corrections, 2 knee replacements, 2 hip replacements. After the stance corrections, the rest was a breeze. She walks very well now.

3:21 am

rbud

so I hope yours goes swimmingly, too, g'rose! (((hugs)))

3:21 am

grannyrose

rbud, i am supposed to be up and weight bearing the following day. anyone want to lay bets on that night? I'M NOT GONNA USE A BEDPAN!!!!

3:22 am

rbud

I hear that, not fun, those pans!

3:22 am

sprite

yayyyyy! Good gal! The ones recovering best are the ones that move.

3:24 am

grannyrose

btw, still do not have a functioning bathroom of my own....he's in deep gunky, i can tell you. he said... i thought you would use the coomode at night....for goodness sake....

3:25 am

sprite

he needs his common sense adjusted. Stat.

3:25 am

grannyrose

you think???? lol.

3:26 am

sprite

most definitely, lol. He'd better get things in shape fast.

3:27 am

grannyrose

hey, he's started tiling the third wall....maybe hope yet.....but i did laugh when he said...oh, you want the new loo working as well? well, yes, duh!!!!

3:28 am

sprite

priorities, dear man... priorities! LOL. Loo. Wash basin. Shower. Very urgent stuff.

3:29 am

grannyrose

lol, spritey, yes priorities are good.

3:30 am

3:44 am

rubyfoo

3:44 am

sprite

3:44 am

grannyrose

3:45 am

grannyrose

JLo was born in the Bronx

7:53 am

Anniebrook

doesnt justice sotomayor call herself a La6 even tho she was born in the US...she is of spanish descent therefore a La6 woman

7:54 am

Scrabbler

Good day to all. I am waiting for my next patient to arrive.

7:55 am

bichon

Being from the Northeast, I've always heard the term Hispanic and La 6 interchangeably. But in CA, it's always La6

7:55 am

Anniebrook

Hi Scrabbs, cosdem was looking for you yesterday. He thinks he has a kidney infection...going to a walk in clinic this morning.

7:56 am

Scrabbler

Hm, it is unusual for males to get kidney infections--mostly in males with an indwelling catheter when ill.

7:57 am

Scrabbler

Aren't females La***as?

7:57 am

Anniebrook

Yes, me too, bichon, Hispanic and La6 in the northeast.

7:57 am

Uneaixoise

popular "women's yogurt" in grid today :-)

7:58 am

Uneaixoise

but missing an i, i think

7:58 am

Scrabbler

I do not understand why that yogurt is touted as "better."

7:59 am

Anniebrook

cosdem "thought" he had a kidney infection....going to check it out today

7:59 am

Uneaixoise

me either!!!

7:59 am

Anniebrook

me scrabbs, yogurt is yogurt

7:59 am

Uneaixoise

all yogurt has good, helpful bacteria in it

7:59 am

Uneaixoise

Annie, I've started working on the 2013 calendar :-)

7:59 am

Scrabbler

That brand is expensive too.

8:00 am

Anniebrook

Une, Great.

8:00 am

Scrabbler

Une, my purple Columbines are blooming and I planted many seeds for a Columbine mix.

8:01 am

Anniebrook

Une, I would be more than happy to pay to defray the costs of helping those beautiful dogs.

8:01 am

Uneaixoise

wonderful!! we had a long dry spell just when mine needed steady water -- not a lot of blooms this year

8:01 am

Scrabbler

Up here in Zone 5 we are not supposed to plant outside til Memorial Day due to risk of frost.

8:01 am

bichon

mine too Scrabs. I think the mild winter helped a lot of plants bloom more profusely this spring

8:01 am

Uneaixoise

BUT my hydrangeas have been beautiful!

8:01 am

Uneaixoise

Annie, you'll be getting a FREE calendar :-)

8:02 am

Scrabbler

Just as my tulips (I planted a few dozen bulbs last fall) were ready to bloom the deer mowed them down. They didn't thank me for their buffet.

8:02 am

Anniebrook

Thank you so much, Une. That is very nice of you.

8:02 am

Uneaixoise

blackeyed susans openng right now -- really really early!

8:02 am

Uneaixoise

oh no, scrabs!!

8:02 am

Scrabbler

I want to plant hydrangeas but I am not sure they are deer-resistant.

8:03 am

Scrabbler

My daffodils were untouched so I will plant those in the fall.\

8:03 am

Uneaixoise

they're so wonderful, scrabs -- just getting fuller and more beautiful every year :-)

8:03 am

Uneaixoise

scrabs, i don't plant tulips due to voracious squirrels and chipmunks -- they seem to partial to them -- ugh

8:03 am

Anniebrook

having never gardened (except on my terrace and deer do not get up to the 23rd floor) I wonder if the deer repellant is harmful to the deer

8:04 am

Uneaixoise

don't think so, annie -- lots of deer repellent is based on human pee LOL

8:04 am

Uneaixoise

(and yes, that would be quite a leap for the deer LOL)

8:04 am

Anniebrook

Well, that should do it, Une.

8:04 am

Scrabbler

*wondering if I should pee on my tulips next spring*

8:05 am

Anniebrook

LOL

8:05 am

Uneaixoise

LOL!!!

8:05 am

Scrabbler

I would have to do it in the dark lest my neighbors see me.

8:06 am

Scrabbler

Did you see the photos I posted on FB yesterday, of my front garden?

8:06 am

Uneaixoise

hmmm, just googled deer and hydrangeas -- not a great result -- evidently it depends on how hungry the deer are :-)

8:08 am

Uneaixoise

scrabs, not sure how to access your facebook page . . .

8:09 am

Scrabbler

I think we are friends there.

8:10 am

Scrabbler

I sent them from my phone and my work site today (Indian Reservation) has not cell signal for me.

8:10 am

Scrabbler

*no

8:12 am

Uneaixoise

8:40 am

Scrabbler

Is it a system-wide issue, BR?

My daughter was so excited when she found out she was having a girl.

4:34 pm

Honestyl? I was relieved all three times when I found out my kids were boys. Not that boys don't go through their hormonal, adolescent thing. But it's nowhere near the hurricane that girls go through.

Spandex seems to be making a bit of a comeback...although those intending to wear it should consider that the ability to wear spandex is a privilege, not a right...

5:15 pm

As with all clothing andrew...just cuz you can find it in your size does NOT mean you should wear it!!

garlic keeps dracula and his minions away therefore garlic is our friend.

11:02 pm

jmcnrick

there is no reason to take it out on the poor garlic that you forgot to get some more

11:02 pm

viajes

well, if dracula comes to your house, and the garlic is off partying, and you get blood-sucked, then garlicire

*puts gold star on viajes forehead*

11:03 pm

viajes

unless we're dealing with a really douchey bulb of garlic.

11:04 pm

viajes

but that's not about the species, that's just the individual garlic.

11:04 pm

jmcnrick

if it douchey it is because you left it unloved and neglected!

cosdem
