no time to play, just looking for news of Rose

this is a fairly nice grid for being so short.
5:19 am
crosshair
good morning everyone:) just finished a nice walkabout with the mrs at the arbouretum to get the blood going and now a nice cuppa tea
5:57 am
rubyfoo
hello again
5:57 am
doseffing
... g'morning ruby
5:57 am
crosshair
morning ((ruby))
5:58 am
rubyfoo
{{crossy}}
5:58 am
rubyfoo
hello dose
5:58 am
rubyfoo
not quite half but almost
5:59 am
crosshair
half way now
5:59 am
doseffing
... pushing three quarters ... but they're pushing back
5:59 am
rubyfoo
your days must be even longer than ours, crossy. I love June for that reason
!
5:59 am
rubyfoo
brace those feet, dose!
6:00 am
crosshair
we are at our full solstice now ruby,start seeing first light just after 5 am and have lisght till almost 9:30 pm
6:00 am
rubyfoo
here it is still (barely) light until 11PM and is light at 5AM
6:00 am
rubyfoo
but it changes very fast
6:00 am
crosshair
makes up for winter days in january when it is light at 9 am and dark at 4:45 pm
6:01 am
rubyfoo
I thought you were further north, but maybe it's partly a question of time zones.....
6:01 am
rubyfoo
that's like here, the winter, that is
6:01 am
rubyfoo
in the US, living in Miami, I never realy noticed
6:01 am
doseffing
... nope ... people forget just how far south Canada comes ... and just how far north Europe is
6:01 am
crosshair
not sure..but this is as good as it gets for us daylight wise
6:02 am
rubyfoo
true, dose, but I love these long days, especially after our dark and rainy and cold spring
6:02 am
crosshair
the days are long and fine,50-60 at night 65-75 in day and you feel like there is time to do everything before the sun goes down;))
6:02 am
rubyfoo
AND the Tour de France starts on Saturday! yayay
6:03 am
doseffing
... Toronto is on about the same latitude as southern France ... Sudbury which is well north of Crossy is on the same latitude as London England ...
6:03 am
rubyfoo
I am rooting for the one Canadian: Hejdesdal
6:03 am
doseffing
... yeah but Ryder can't win it as well as the Giro
6:04 am
crosshair
sudbury is 1 hour 45 min drive north of me and i am 2.5 hours north of toronto
6:04 am
rubyfoo
I am hoping!
6:04 am
doseffing
... close enough
6:04 am
rubyfoo
or Cadel again
6:04 am
rubyfoo
I was happy that Andy, the whiner, wont participate!
6:04 am
doseffing
... most likely
6:05 am
doseffing
... didn't know that ... I was figuring that he was the front runner
6:05 am
doseffing
... seeing as Alberto C. is out
6:05 am
rubyfoo
he was injured in one of the other races, talked about the excruciating pain -- boo hoo
6:06 am
rubyfoo
and yay to Alberto being out -- he was my least favorite
6:06 am
rubyfoo
now if they would just leave Lance alone.....
6:06 am
rubyfoo
Lance is my hero!
6:07 am
doseffing
... I was wondering what happened to Andy in the Giro ... he just never got going ... and then disappeared ... I missed that he had dropped out
6:07 am
rubyfoo
he fell, rode for another day, but I think he fractured his pelvia (not sure), but I always prefered his brother
6:08 am
rubyfoo
Andy is no gentleman
6:08 am
doseffing
... Lance is just too easy a target ... they can keep going at him and the results are so old that nothing can be proven (I hope) ... so until he sues somebody he's fair game
6:08 am
rubyfoo
pelvis* {3 is a charm}
6:08 am
doseffing
... careful ... they'll stick that in the grid ... it's probably a latin plural
6:09 am
doseffing
... nope ... it's not there
6:09 am
rubyfoo
he was using EPO when I first startedf watching the Tour, but it wasn't illegal then. I don't understand why storing up your own blood and then re-transfusing it should be illegal
6:09 am
rubyfoo
dangerous, maybe, but so what?
6:10 am

Hey Nef, I saw that you're gonna cruise the Mississippi checking out BBQ. If you happen to make it to the coast, take the time (if you can fit it in) to visit the Shed (http://theshedbbq.com/) in Gautier MS. It's about 80 miles east of New Orleans... Definitely an experience!

By the way, in case anyone is wondering why we had such a tiny grid today..."Someone" declared last night that he hoped we had a really small grid because he would be tied up with business all day. (And then, I think money changed hands). I won't say who that "someone" is, but his name starts with Ruru and ends with Rocks. : P

Easy peasy? Exactly how do you pick up all those tiny grains of rice? Hmmm?

That's why they call it sticky rice!

I ac4/6 this grid no problem. It was easy to find th 5/12 words today. Even though most don't need it, I think a story of clues is a good id4/5 anyway.My hubby de6/21s Babble. He se7/32 everytime I babble. I always de 6/24 sarcasm in his voice when hubby talks about Babbleland Sometimes I have to hi 4/6 my babbling from him. But I do not give a di4/5 I will always babble. Husband wants to plant some se 4/5s on Farmville. I am going to go sit on the se6/18 and watch some TV. Then I'm going to go jump into my sh 7/36 bed and go to sleep for the night. I will stay insi4/5 to babble on this websi4/4 tomorrow. I did not ed4/5 this story so there might be some errors.

Big news in our family is that our DIL went into the hospital for psych reasons volunarily this afterneeon! We'll have our grandson for "several days" (what-ever that means); but this is a big decision on her part. I hope and pray that they help her.
10:05 pm

Nef,you are a lefty? I LOVE lefties! I grew up wanting to be a lefty a lot. Tried to force myself to become left-handed.

herin, can you believe it>>>
10:07 pm
herinfernallady
Nef the first step to recovery is admitting YOU and only you have a problem. that is great for her

jes, she's been ill for so long... but right now whe is in bad shape againand this is a HUGE step for her
10:07 pm

Did you know ever since Reagan,every single president has been left-handed?Reagan,Bush,Bush Jr.,Clinton & Obama.
10:08 pm

Nef, I'm glad to hear that your daughter-in-law is trying to get help. That is a good thing. I will keep her in my good thoughts.
10:09 pm
Minveryork
I wish my husband would get help for him problem. He is a severe alcoholic, however, he refuses to admit it. Tough to live with. Alcoholism runs througout his family though.
10:10 pm
Nef
thanks,jes, herin, and Molly. She needs all the help she can get. My grandson is concerned, but his perception of the hospital is that both me and Papa went to the hospital and got better.
10:10 pm
MollyL
Oh (((Min))). I know that must be hard for you to live with. I will keep you in my good thoughts too.
10:10 pm
Minveryork
Thanks MollyL
10:10 pm

Min, I didn't know that about the presidents
10:11 pm

My birth father died a broken man. At a young age too. Alcohol and gambling did him in. I found this out recently and it isn't a wonder I don't really drink or gamble
10:11 pm
Minveryork
Anyway,going back to lefties,I can list all of the actors and actresses who are left-handed. Julia Roberts, Anne Heche, Kelly Sullivan just to name a few.
10:12 pm
cosdem
bill clinton is a lefite
10:12 pm
Nef
(((Min)) Please join Al-Anon if you haven't already done so. It's probably the best support that you can get for yourself. Whether he admits it or not; you need to take care of yourself and not get sucked into that either (guilt, enabling, alcohol, etc)
10:13 pm
uusue2
Cos, how are you? What is up?
10:13 pm
MollyL
I agree with Nef, Min. Please remember how this affects you and seek help where you feel comfortable.
10:14 pm

Cosdem,look at my 10:07 message. I listed lefty Presidents

Although he was never President, Ross Perot is also a lefty.

Not really Min because he refuses to admit he has an issue

ah sorry min havent been paying attention to the chog
10:16 pm

it's an easy little grid too... 12 left
10:16 pm

That's true Min, but that doesn't mean you have to keep doing that. One step at a time.
10:16 pm
Minveryork
Do not blame you cosdem. You have much more important things to pay attention to or worry about. Any updates yet?
10:16 pm
herinfernallady
Jes you need a fb page on your rescues
10:17 pm
Nef
I was in Al-Anon when my son was on drugs (there wasn't a Narc-Anon that I could find back then). And when we had my alcoholic brother here in 2007 while he was doing his "90 meetings in 90 days" thing; I went to Al-Anon and continued it for 2 years after that because of the help and support I got there (my family and DH's family both have lots of alcoholics)

i'm missing a 7 - i have se7x3 and sh7, what's still lurking?

badly, lady. he's still lame, and his hoof grew back weirdly, so x-rayed his foot and he's foundered badly at some point in the past. he'll be lame permanently.
10:19 pm
jesdraggon
thanks, nef
10:20 pm
Minveryork
The consequences of me leaving would put my husband on the street and homeless with no medical insurance. I can't do that to him. I have to wait until he get a better job. My husband would go into the deepest depression.
10:20 pm
jesdraggon
found it
10:20 pm
herinfernallady
Are you going to keep him or PTS if he is in pain
10:21 pm
jesdraggon
probably put him down if nobody takes him this summer - can't see feeding him forever, when it means i'll not be able to support a rideable horse because i haven't enough pasture.
10:21 pm
herinfernallady
That is understanderable Jess. It is realistic and sad
10:21 pm
jesdraggon
he's only 14, so that could be another 20 years of feeding a non-rideable, non-adoptable horse.
10:22 pm
jesdraggon
he's only 14, so that could be another 20 years of feeding a non-rideable, non-adoptable horse.
10:22 pm

Min, that will hold you hostage in this relationship for a long time. Maybe you can talk to someone about other options. I'm wishing the best for the both of you.
10:22 pm
jesdraggon
stuff like this is why so many horse rescues are overwhelmed. *sigh*
10:22 pm
herinfernallady
Can he find food on his own like if someone adopted him that had a large paddock?
10:23 pm
Minveryork
That is why I am meeting with someone. It is just a consult
10:23 pm
jesdraggon
sure, but there are too many horses in rescue already; i can probably get a useable horse free, who would adopt a broken one.
10:23 pm
herinfernallady
Min you have to do what you need to do in a non judmental way.
10:24 pm
MollyL
That's good Min. Do what you can in do-able doses. Just remember that how you feel counts in all this.
10:24 pm
herinfernallady
So he needs a home that someone doesn't mind having a lawn ornament?
10:24 pm
jesdraggon
good luck, min. sounds like a crappy situation.
10:24 pm
jesdraggon
exactly, lady
10:25 pm
herinfernallady
It is a pity he can't be used as a riding for teh disabled horse
10:25 pm
Minveryork
What do you mean hereinfernallady?
10:25 pm
herinfernallady
What the lawn ornament coment?
10:26 pm
jesdraggon
means he makes your pasture look pretty but isn't good for much else, min
10:27 pm
Nef
Min; I still use my daily meditations as needed. The book is called "courage to Change" and the thing is that whatever happens; it's how you preceive the situation and your relationship that matters most. (and I'll shut up now)
10:27 pm
herinfernallady
It means an animal that is past its best by date - like a cow that is too much like a pet and the farmer can't let her go.
10:27 pm
Minveryork
Oh yes that is true. But he says do not appreciate anything
10:27 pm
MollyL
Nef, do NOT shut up. You are saying helpful things to Min.
10:28 pm

Really dumb question but does brown rice go soggy like white rice?
10:36 pm
stidmama
how are you, phand?
10:36 pm
stidmama
brown rice usually holds up better than white rice
10:37 pm
stidmama
because the hull is mostly intact it stays together and doesn't mush
10:37 pm
herinfernallady
So it is meant to be crunchy?
10:37 pm

Molly i am doing an experiment hence the brown rice
10:39 pm
phandmd
Indeed, Herin. The goal of having children is to raise them into productive adults. That she is!
10:39 pm
MollyL
I did a similar experiment Herin. The brown rice ended up in the trash.
10:39 pm
stidmama
and yes, it tends to feel a lot crunchier than white rice.
10:39 pm
phandmd
I like brown rice.
10:39 pm
stidmama
phand, congrats on your daughter's marriage -- it's rough letting go, isn't it? Our elder son just has moved out (for the first time), but at least it's local.
10:40 pm
herinfernallady
Molly I am hopping that isn't the case
10:40 pm
stidmama
jes, we have cedar waxwings coming in finally! they are usually only here for a short time (until the last of the elderberries are done). I am sorry about your horse.
10:41 pm
phandmd
Thank you, Stid, I am thankful that I like the young man she married. And thankful also, that he has a good job in San Diego.
10:41 pm
stidmama
both, good things, indeed
10:41 pm
phandmd
I have only seen cedar waxwings once, it was such a thrill!
10:42 pm
phandmd
And, San Diego isn't such a bad place to visit...
10:43 pm
stidmama
phand, in a week the shrubs will look like a giant kinetic sculpture. They will be covered in waxwings! The first time it happened I was pretty worried, then I realized what was going on and enjoyed watching. They are like little kids let loose in a room like a Willy Wonka factory!
10:43 pm
herinfernallady
Mmmmmmm Elderflowers are good
10:43 pm
stidmama
I have never been to San Diego
10:43 pm
stidmama
but DR lives there, and so does tor (I think) so it can't be all bad.
10:43 pm
phandmd
me either! But I will go soonish
10:43 pm
phandmd
I would love to see that!
10:44 pm
herinfernallady
Stid has stidkid senior moved out?
10:44 pm
stidmama
I will try to get some video this year, phand -- the berries aren't all ripe yet.
10:44 pm
stidmama
pretty much, lady -- I am trying to decide how much of his stuff to shift so I can shift some of the "family clutter" in.
10:45 pm
phandmd
sounds great!
10:45 pm
herinfernallady
Were did Stidkid Senior go? Wasn't he only ten last week?
10:45 pm
phandmd
Well, I am thinking it might be time to hit the hay.
10:46 pm
stidmama
there are a few pics of the garden up at my website, phand -- my screenname.com but I will have a few more up tomorrow; it's going to be sunny, and I have several new plants blooming that I haven't recorded yet.
10:46 pm
phandmd
oh, I will check it out! Thanks
10:46 pm
stidmama
sleep sounds good, phand -- hope you have a wonderful rest of your week!
10:47 pm
stidmama
LOL lady! sometimes it feels that way, but he has been a fully fledged (legal) adult for well over a year.
10:48 pm
phandmd
Aww! You have a german shepherd too! What's his/her name?
10:48 pm
phandmd
duh, it's Lucky
10:48 pm
phandmd
how old?
10:49 pm
stidmama
:-) he is... 9? 8? about 8 I think. I can't remember how long ago we brought him home, he was almost 2 that summer.
10:50 pm
phandmd
lovely! What is the story of how you got him?
10:51 pm
stidmama
He was being kept in a horse stall by the owners of the stable where Grant took lessons. They were about to take him to the pound because the person they thought was going to buy him backed out. I couldn't let a lovely boy like him go to the pound. He was 1 year, 8 months old, and weighed only a little more than 50 pounds. He was very skinny and very traumatized.
10:52 pm
stidmama
I never wanted a shepherd, but he is about the most beautiful boy in the world (imho)
10:52 pm
phandmd
aww, he was "lucky" to find you!
10:52 pm
phandmd
I love GSDs
10:52 pm
phandmd
and he IS GORGEOUS!
10:53 pm
stidmama
indeed - he named himself, you know -- the stable owners called him "big dog"; I thought he looked like a Michaelangelo; but he wouldn't respond until we sat in a circle around him saying names. He alerted every time we said "lucky"
10:54 pm
phandmd
interesting!
10:54 pm
stidmama
he's allergic to beef... very expensive to feed a 90 lb dog on specialty food! I didn't know these high-bred critters were so high-maintenance. :-)
10:55 pm
herinfernallady
Awww Stid
10:55 pm
stidmama
I love the pic of your puppy -- looks pretty content
10:55 pm
phandmd
she is! she is 3.5 now.
10:56 pm
phandmd
she does miss her girl when she is away at school though.
10:56 pm
stidmama
maybe you can help me, phand. Lucky is VERY skittish with his paws, and so I don't trim his nails as often as they really need it (the first few years the vet had to sedate him to trim them). Do you have any advice for how to get him to hold still?
10:56 pm
herinfernallady
Phan how old is the pup in yhour icon?
10:56 pm
phandmd
she is 3.5, Herin.
10:56 pm
herinfernallady
Stid you tried the food bribe?
10:57 pm
stidmama
Yes, Lucky will sit at the window and wait for the school busses. Now the boys don't come home on the bus, but he still always hopes. Grant usually stays longer in town to do taekwondo. So whenever I can I let Lucky come with me to fetch his boy
10:57 pm
stidmama
food bribe? as in, teach him to expect a treat when he gets his toes trimmed?
10:57 pm
phandmd
Herin, she was a less than a year in that pic
10:58 pm
phandmd
Jazz also doesn't like her nails clipped. I try to get her when she is relaxed and I have lots of treats with me.
10:58 pm
phandmd
Every nail I clip, I give her lots of treats. Seems to help. I actually need to do her nails again.
10:58 pm
herinfernallady
Awww Phan cute. Stid. You pick up his paw in a non threatening manner - feed him a treat, do this for a while then get the scissors in hand then do the same thing, then do one nail and feed and leave him
10:59 pm
stidmama
I will try that, then. I never had trouble with our lab when she needed trimming, and Buffy I just turned upside down on my lap to trim.
10:59 pm
stidmama
I got most of his front toes the other day, but need to do the back now.
10:59 pm
stidmama
brb, it's time for Lucky's "nine o'clocks"
11:00 pm
herinfernallady
Maybe someone hit his feet that is why he doesn't like it
11:00 pm
phandmd
or he had a bad experience with clipping, someone got his quick. That part always makes me nervous.
11:00 pm
stidmama
speaking of time...
11:01 pm
herinfernallady
I need to trim the cats claws but I am so not game
11:01 pm
stidmama
yes, lady -- I am certain that is part of it. He was severely traumatized as a young dog. It took YEARS for him to be comfortable around Tom and our friends who are men.
11:01 pm
herinfernallady
I never understand people that hurt animals
11:02 pm
stidmama
neglect and abuse of animals and children really makes my blood boil... and I cannot take them all in. I wish I could, but. I am stuck doing what little I can in the moment when I am with them.
11:03 pm
stidmama
anyway -- have to go get Grant from a friend's house. will be back tomorrow, hopefully with some pictures. (((hugs and happy thoughts for all))) see you-all then! *poof*
11:03 pm
stidmama
and thanks for the trimming advice... *fades out*
11:03 pm
phandmd
good night then.
11:05 pm
