1:05 am

rbud

my goodness, you dainty little thing! ;p

1:05 am

flosey

WOW, wtg, hope you can afford to lose so much

1:05 am

flosey

1:06 am

grannyrose

HEY RBUD!!!!! not quite yet, dear. but Don says he doen't remember my legs ever being this thin

1:06 am

grannyrose

oh, flosey, could lose another 40lbs and still be classified as overweight. ( by weight watchers, anyway)

1:08 am

flosey

but what matters most is how you feel at a reasonable weight

1:08 am

grannyrose

yes, dear friend. i will be happy to lose another 20lbs.

1:34 am

grannyrose

grrrr, don't you just hate when you know you typed in a word....but for some reason the grid did not accept it the first time.

1:36 am

rbud

yes, I do, it's happened to me before :P

1:39 am

grannyrose

be warned...there are 8 x sk words in the grid

1:39 am

rbud

O_O

1:39 am

rbud

well, I had two, guess I need to expand the search

1:41 am

rbud

good monkeys, up to 6 now

1:41 am

grannyrose

well done, rbud...i'm impressed

1:44 am

rbud

yay, have 8 now, good to know I can give up on those two first letters. :D

1:44 am

grannyrose

yay, rbud. nice job.

1:45 am

rbud

very many sn words?

1:45 am

grannyrose

1:45 am

flosey

1:46 am

1:46 am

thanks for the sn words

1:49 am

flosey

1:50 am

grannyrose

whoot, my last four words were the run of to6, 8, 8, 9

1:51 am

grannyrose

wow, flosey, well done, at this time if night, too.

1:51 am

rbud

so you're done? congrats!

1:51 am

grannyrose

thanx rbud. th5's like in the old grey mare, yet.

1:51 am

flosey

long way to go rbud, just getting started, 233 to go

1:52 am

grannyrose

* life*

1:52 am

grannyrose

oh, flosey, remember i was complaining of going hot and cold all the time?

1:53 am

flosey

yes rose, please don't say that's happening again

1:54 am

grannyrose

it turns out it has been the pain all along. as soon as i take my pain meds, everything settles down for about 4 hours.

1:55 am

flosey

ah, so the meds calmed everything down - as usual, but then you heat up again?

1:57 am

grannyrose

strange what our bodies do to us. yes, hun. or go into peripheral shutdown, because the pain is so intense. worked it out the ot5 day when my IBS played up.same rule, take something to stop the pain, and everything settles

1:58 am

flosey

any idea how much longer this will go on?

1:59 am

grannyrose

not really, flosey. but now i know how to handle it, it all should be easy. my surgeon was suitably impressed by how little i was using in way of meds.

2:00 am

flosey

that is encouraging

2:00 am

flosey

I mean, the fact that the surgeon is impressed

2:01 am

grannyrose

each week, the physio gives me new exercises. the pain levels go up for a while, then as the muscles get used to being used again, all settles down.

2:03 am

grannyrose

lol, found out the ot5 day, i still don't know how to go DOWN a flight of stairs. was coming out of church, felt pretty cocky, so thought, i will use the steps. yeah, right. got down one step, and then became a frozen moment as i couldn't work out how to step down.

2:04 am

flosey

hope hubby was there with you

2:04 am

grannyrose

poor Don, he was standing right beside me, saying, just put your left foot back on the step, dear....and dear was looking at him blankly, thinking, what do you mean?

2:06 am

flosey

ah rose, at times they can be so tender and understanding

2:07 am

grannyrose

i think he was ready to chuck me over his shoulder and carry me the rest of the way. LOL. i am one very lucky lady, to have him.

2:08 am

flosey

but once into the steps, what on earth did you do to get either back up or down

2:08 am

flosey

can just picture grannyrose being flung over his shoulder

2:09 am

grannyrose

well, i did as i was told(finally). put my left foot back on the step, and proceeded one step at a time, always stepping down with the right foot and walking stick.

2:13 am

rbud

this sounds so much like me trying to help hubs get around... he only has one sort of good leg these days.

2:14 am

grannyrose

oh, and after my appointment with the surgeon? as i was pretty much in the same building, i popped in and was able to say hello to my work mates. they were all suitably impressed with the new grannyrose. one girl said she was going to hide all the smaller sized scrubs when i come back to work, just to see me in the 2xl's i used to wear.

2:15 am

rbud

they want to see you spin around and have them on backwards? ;p

2:15 am

flosey

so you can be proud of yourself and show them just how much you have, in fact, lost

2:15 am

grannyrose

it's so difficult, isn't rbud. watching your loved one not as spry as he used to be.

2:16 am

grannyrose

actually, i can't wait. i wonder which size i am now?

2:17 am

rbud

yes, though he's never really been terribly mobile, has had to bend way over and pull himself up stairs the whole time I've known him. he hates stairs.

2:18 am

grannyrose

which is how long, rbud?

2:18 am

rbud

he broke his back when he was 17 in a car wreck, and hasn't been quite right since - but they told him he'd probably never walk again at all, and he did.

2:18 am

rbud

let's see, since 1987 now.

2:19 am

rbud

our daughter was born in '88, have to count back, lol

2:19 am

flosey

have you known him all that time rbud?

2:20 am

grannyrose

yay, him. i was told over 32 years ago, if i didn't have spinal surgery, i would be in a wheelchair within 5 years. didn't happen!!!!

2:20 am

rbud

no, we met when he was 28 and I was 30.

2:21 am

rbud

he chased me around till I caught him, lol

2:21 am

flosey

lol

2:21 am

grannyrose

lol, rbud.

2:22 am

rbud

now it's muscular dystrophy, though, complicating things. runs in his family. I worry about the kids, sigh.

2:23 am

grannyrose

rbud, th5 are blood te4s which can be done....or is it a muscle biopsy? not sure. ask you doctor.

2:23 am

rbud

so far they don't seem to have the signs, most of his family that got it had a similar gait - but I guess you never know.

2:24 am

rbud

Yes, I know they did that to him, had to snip out a bit and te4 it. I guess I thought it would only show up if you had developed it, don't know if it is th5 all along, hmmm. something to consider.

2:25 am

rbud

he's not on any medication for anything, not sure if there is any.

2:26 am

flosey

really falling asleep, must go, goodnight all, happy babbling

2:26 am

grannyrose

not to my knowledge, rbud. i think the general rule is treat symptomatically.

2:26 am

rbud

night flosey, sleep well

2:26 am

grannyrose

night, dearest flosey, sleep well, hun

2:27 am

grannyrose

just googled it rbud. yes, th5 are genetic te4s which can be done.

2:28 am

rbud

he can't get on medical aid until November, they make you wait 2 years after you can no longer work because of your disability. at least it goes back to then, that's good, because it took over a year to get him on disability.

2:28 am

rbud

well, not sure we want to know. :(

2:29 am

grannyrose

rbud, your kids might want to know. do you have grandkiddies?

2:29 am

rbud

the kids are 21 and 24, they hopefully have a lot of good years to go, though I worry about our daughter, she lives on junk food and sodas, can't seem to convince her to eat right.

2:29 am

rbud

nope, no grandbabies yet.

2:30 am

rbud

diabetes also runs in his family, and she looks to be courting it if you ask me, grrrr.

2:31 am

rbud

she'll drink gallons of soda a day if she can get it.

2:31 am

grannyrose

well, now's the time to consider the te4s. and then your children can make up their minds about having babies. it is always good to have ALL the facts in your hand before a major decision like that.

2:32 am

rbud

would be helpful if any of us had any medical insurance, none of us do. not sure how obamacare is going to work out.

2:33 am

rbud

I'm in the hole between too young to get aid, and the kids being too old now for me to get any.

2:33 am

grannyrose

rbud, they are only young once...you brought her up right, you taught her the right way to eat....it's now up to her to follow what you have taught her.

2:34 am

rbud

they won't get any insurance or aid unless they get good jobs - not looking likely - or have kids, too. then medical kicks in.

2:34 am

rbud

I know, I try not to let it bug me, but I lecture her constantly anyway. falls on deaf ears.

2:35 am

rbud

would be easier if they didn't both still live with us, sigh...

2:35 am

rbud

we just wanna be left alone, lol! no such luck so far.

2:36 am

grannyrose

it all seems so complicated over th5, rbud.( re health care and insurance) and dear friend, stop the lectures. let her mull over what you have said and taught her.

2:37 am

grannyrose

she KNOWS what is right, for her, she will come around. at their age, they seem to think they are immortal.

2:39 am

rbud

I'm working on getting this year's mammogram and checkups, have gotten one annually for 30 years, because of lots of cancer in my family. now have to pay for it out of pocket or work through a local clinic, but it doesn't seem like they can help. so I guess we'll pay. I worry if I don't get it every year.

2:39 am

grannyrose

sometimes allowing something 'naughty' into a diet regime stops the cravings to gorge on the wrong things.

2:41 am

rbud

she's always been a chowhound, she's out of shape and overweight, and nearly six feet tall to boot! not a bit dainty, lol. 6 inches taller than me.

2:41 am

grannyrose

yes, that is a worry, rbud. especially if it runs in the family. you would never forgive yourself if you didn't have the mammogram.

2:41 am

rbud

well, I'm planning to, though running a little later than usual. had a clean bill of health last year, yay!

2:42 am

rbud

mom's had two mastectomies, over 20 years since the first one, she's been lucky.

2:42 am

grannyrose

yes, yay, rbud. but it's alright to be a little behind schedule.

2:45 am

rbud

oh, pooh, now thinking about mom - she's 84 and starting to fuss that everything's confusing, she wants to move into a senior housing unit, though she has a lovely little apartment that costs almost nothing now. she's fine, takes care of herself, pays her own bills, cooks and cleans fine, not showing signs of alzheimer's or any of that, except when it suits her purposes, lol

2:46 am

rbud

"oh, this change of insurance companies is so confusing, and the landlord raised the rent, I'll be broke soon!" (he raised it $20, that's nothing!)

2:47 am

rbud

yet she doesn't want to move in with us, she says. too far from town and it "smells like cigarettes, yuck!"

2:48 am

rbud

ongoing fuss and bother, will have to settle on something soon.

2:49 am

grannyrose

* giggle * you should hear my mum. the way she tells it, we need to be booking the funeral parlour.and the naughty girl, has now involved her grandsons( my sons) into the family mess, by telling them that none of her children want to take care of her.

2:51 am

grannyrose

mind you, when dad died 10 years ago, i gave her 2-3 years to setle down. then asked her to please sell up and move closer to me. i have since begged her, and out-right told her. nope, nothing.

2:51 am

rbud

mom fussed when her last husband died, "don't know what will become of me now, I suppose you'll want to put me in a nursing home!" we told her we couldn't afford it! she'd better take care of things herself, lol

2:52 am

grannyrose

now, the whine is, i'm (she) too sick to do anything. for goodness sake!!

2:53 am

rbud

she has more than enough monthy income, good insurance, money left over each month... what's the problem? she's only a few blocks from the senior center, she can walk fine still, and go see friends... I'd be thrilled if I were in such good shape at that age!

2:53 am

grannyrose

do you know she rang me last week and whined for over 1/2 hour. i was nearly ready to strangle her.

2:54 am

grannyrose

* nodding head * know where you are at, rbud. frustration is a good word.

2:54 am

rbud

I hear that! I get so frustrated with mine, I just want to shake some sense into her. she pretends to be helpless to get sympathy, but I know she's not.

2:55 am

grannyrose

as i said to Don this AM.....if she's so sick, why hasn't the doctor hospitalised her? she has private health insurance.

2:56 am

rbud

I think mine's just bored. she needlepoints endlessly, but now she has a touch of glaucoma, so she's afraid she'll be sitting around blind in no time. I hope not.

2:57 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, rbud. nip that in the bud, so to speak. exactly how much is a touch of glaucoma?

2:58 am

rbud

not sure, but her doctors are monitoring it. she hasn't mentioned them wanting to operate yet.

2:59 am

rbud

haha, maybe she'd benefit from some medicinal marijuana, can just see me trying to convince her of that!

3:00 am

grannyrose

it is a manageable condition, rbud. at least i this day and age.unlike my mother, who refused to take my advice, and didn't have her carpal tunnel syndrome attended to until it was too late. now she has only one functioning hand.

3:02 am

rbud

oh, mom's had her kn5 done, had a cataract dealt with, two mastectomies as I mentioned, and carpal tunnel surgery, too, on both wrists. she's no stranger to getting things worked on.

3:02 am

rbud

she still wears a little wrist brace sometimes, when she's been needlepointing a lot.

3:03 am

grannyrose

you know what, i really enjoy talking with you, rbud, but himself is clattering around me. ( i'm at the kitchen table) i think he wants to start dinner preparations. * sigh* perhaps email me, and we can chat that way.

3:04 am

rbud

oh, well, do tend to him, lol, I think I hear mine out in the kitchen, too, wouldn't you know! (((hugs))) will check out your email addy. :)

3:05 am

grannyrose

love and hugs dearest. will respond at soonest.

good morning sue - are you off on your trip?

6:03 am

uusue2

I am, wv!

6:04 am

wvteach

where are u?

6:04 am

uusue2

I am in a little town in southern Minnesota at the moment

6:04 am

wvteach

enjoy the trip - we drove out west last summer - beautiful country but no babble meet

6:05 am

uusue2

I am having a great time already - slow relaxed trip so far, on scenic byways

6:07 am

wvteach

we stopped at lots of national parks - Devils Tower, Yellowstone, Mt Rainier, Tetons - also parks in British columbia - Manning Park and the Olympic Peninsula was new to us and stayed there longer than planned

6:09 am

uusue2

most of it will be new to me - I've been to Minneapolis a lot but not to the rest of the state, never to the Dakotas or Montana, been to Seattle but flew there, and never to western Canada

6:12 am

wvteach

the Badlands and Mt rushmore in Dakotas are worth wandering through - British Columbia had lots of places to see

6:13 am

uusue2

I *thought* I heard horses! Amish buggy just went down the street!

6:13 am

wvteach

what wonderful memories you will have of this trip

6:13 am

uusue2

taking lots of pictures too!

6:14 am

wvteach

i had never blogged before but did last summer - it is a wonderful memory of the trip - included pictures on it - also family here could know where we were

6:14 am

doseffing

... You might be interested in the dinosaur provincial park in south eastern Alberta ...

6:14 am

uusue2

6:15 am

doseffing

... although I'll bet there are several historic dig sites along the way in the Dakotas i

6:15 am

uusue2

I would, dos! Maybe I can go home that way (don't have the homeward trip planned out yet)

6:15 am

doseffing

and Montana

6:15 am

wvteach

i think it was a Google blog site - showed you how to do it which helped since i had never done it before - heled me to focus on what we did each day

6:16 am

uusue2

there are some in Comox as well, Bugsaw has a fossil-digging trip planned for Sunday

6:16 am

doseffing

... it's near Medicine Hat in the southeast corner of Alberta

6:17 am

doseffing

... if you come back east through the Canadian Rockies ... you'd come out the Rogers Pass on the TransCanada Highway ... go through Calgary ... and then head south east along the TransCanada

6:18 am

uusue2

will look at the map, thanks dos!

6:23 am

wvteach

look at blogspot.com if you want to keep a blog about the trip

The delegates who attended the Constitutional Convention spent much of their time getting drunk. One surviving document is a bill for a party on September 15th, 1787, two days before the signing of the Constitution. Items on the bill were: 54 bottles of Madeira, 60 bottles of Claret, 8 bottles of whiskey, 8 bottles of cider, 12 bottles of beer, and 7 bowls of alcoholic punch. All of this for only 55 people.

10:17 am

hurshy

this day is not going so great

10:17 am

car.eeyore

Oh no Hurshy! Anything we can do for you?

10:17 am

hurshy

not really.

10:17 am

sciencegeek

I am so nervous today. I had to report my step daughter for firing weapons with her children in the house. She and her husband had a small gun fight which was never report to the police.

10:18 am

sciencegeek

of course I am sure that the entire family will hate me

10:18 am

crosshair

good lord!

10:18 am

car.eeyore

Oh my god Science! How horrible!

10:18 am

hurshy

wow i guess that's worse than my day.

10:18 am

sciencegeek

We took the girls on a vacation and they told us about the guns.

10:18 am

crosshair

a small gunfight? my god

10:19 am

hurshy

well you did the right thing.

10:19 am

crosshair

indeed

10:19 am

sciencegeek

I did not call CPS, but I did call the school and talked with the principal. She is also in a custody battle for two other children whom she lost 6 years ago. I called the attorney representing the people who have those children

10:19 am

rururocks

you do have to report it..it's the right thing to do

10:19 am

rururocks

holy cow

10:20 am

sciencegeek

Well my husband is going to be pissed at me. I know itis the right thing to do, but it is an awkard position to be in. Everyone in the family knows this happened, but no one wants to do anything

10:20 am

crosshair

sadly even though it is your son,i would of called cps

10:21 am

hurshy

it often is hard to be the only one willing to do the right thing.

10:21 am

car.eeyore

The safety of the girls is the priority...not hurt feelings. That is something that could have turned terribly wrong.

10:21 am

sciencegeek

They apparently were drunk. She fired a handgun at the husband and he returned with a rifle. She had buckshot in her leg, but did not seek medical attention (the police would have been notified by the doctor).

10:21 am

crosshair

if guns are used in a house this way,you can be SURE they are not stored properly with mome safety in mond and one day the children will get ahold of one

10:21 am

crosshair

home

10:21 am

sciencegeek

It is not my son. It is my husband's daughter.

10:21 am

crosshair

sorry

10:22 am

car.eeyore

Good grief!

10:22 am

crosshair

but yes get the kids and guns out of there.in the past my brother was shot in the arm in this way

10:22 am

sciencegeek

Well, my anxiety level is quite high

10:23 am

sciencegeek

She and I do not get along at all. This is her third marriage in 10 years. The new husband is a freak.

10:23 am

sciencegeek

The only time she calls is when she wants money.

10:23 am

crosshair

loaded guns laying around,brother handed a 22 to his friend so they could look at them and fried fired one right through his upper arm missing his head by a foot..you did right,never doubt it science

10:24 am

sciencegeek

Gee Crossy. Yes, you read about kids shooting each other all the time.

10:24 am

crosshair

and this is not a safe house by your description

10:24 am

car.eeyore

My stomach is lurching just thinking about what could have happened.

10:25 am

sciencegeek

My husband said to me "you don't have to destroy her life." I think she is doing that all by herself.

10:25 am

crosshair

that round from her handgun could of gone right through the wall and killed one of the children

10:25 am

car.eeyore

And she will take those children with her unfortunately.

10:25 am

sciencegeek

The girls said that they locked themselves in the bathroom.

10:26 am

car.eeyore

Science, you and your family are in my prayers.

10:26 am

car.eeyore

How old?

10:26 am

sciencegeek

Thanks. My family needs prayers for wisdom. I need prayers to not be frightened by reporting this

10:26 am

sciencegeek

one will be 12 in November and the other will be 11 in April

10:27 am

car.eeyore

Dear God.

10:27 am

crosshair

women who fire off handguns in the house generally do not get custody here

10:27 am

car.eeyore

Science...the thought of what could have happened to one of those precious girls is the only thing you need to know that you have done the right thing.

10:28 am

sciencegeek

well, I don't know what will happen. Not sure if the other attorney will do anything without having to question the girls. The principal of the school may report it to CPS

10:28 am

rururocks

your family needs to be on the Dr. Phil show

10:28 am

car.eeyore

"You need a license to catch a fish...but anyone can have a child".

10:28 am

rururocks

The Principal HAS to report it to the CPS

10:28 am

sciencegeek

no kidding.

10:29 am

sciencegeek

the weird thing is that the girls are very protective of their mother

10:29 am

sciencegeek

just hoping the husband doesn't divorce me over this

10:29 am

rururocks

that's called co-dependency

10:29 am

car.eeyore

Of course they are.

10:30 am

car.eeyore

If he does, he does not have his priorities straight.

10:30 am

rururocks

children's welfare ALWAYS comes first

10:30 am

car.eeyore

I literally want to get in my car right now and get those girls out of there.

10:31 am

sciencegeek

she has manipulated her father for years. she uses the kids as a weapon. I made her angry before we left on the trip and she told her dad that we could not take the girls. I "apologized" and then we got to take the girls

10:31 am

sciencegeek

he has a lot of guilt with this daughter.

10:31 am

car.eeyore

I wouldn't have given them back.

10:32 am

car.eeyore

I'm sorry...I am spouting.

10:32 am

car.eeyore

You are in an extremly difficult situation, Science. As I said before, I will be praying for all of you. Please let us know if we can be there to support you in any way.

10:33 am

sciencegeek

the older one is obese. they have eating issues which I believe stems from their home environment. They also told us that they never have breakfast before school.

10:33 am

rururocks

<---not liking science's daughter

10:33 am

sciencegeek

step daughter

10:33 am

rururocks

OHHHHHHHH

10:33 am

MollyL

Science, someone had to be an advocate for those girls. I commend you for doing it.

10:34 am

rururocks

your husband needs to grow up

10:34 am

car.eeyore

10:34 am

sciencegeek

I had to buy them clothes. This is always the case. The fat one is less than 5 feet tall and is wearing a size 9 in juniors and a 36 A bra.

10:34 am

rururocks

yes I do too.. you might have saved the children's lives

10:35 am

sciencegeek

I guess she must weigh 120 pounds. Has a huge gut and a double chin. She is always worried about eating.....when are we going to eat?

10:36 am

MollyL

Food issues are common in children who have dysfunctional families. Food becomes their comfort.

10:37 am

sciencegeek

Yes. I know Molly. It is awful. I have taught so many kids like this. It is horrible when it is in your family and you cannot do anything

10:38 am

MollyL

Well, the first step is getting them away from a violent situation. She can get help with the other things after that.

10:40 am

sciencegeek

well my stomach in in a knot. Sometimes I wish I could turn my head and look the other way like the rest of the family. As a teacher, if these kids had told me the story, I would legally have to call CPS.

10:40 am

sciencegeek

Oh, after the gunfight, she kept them out of school for the last week of school. She probably was afraid that they will tell someone.

10:41 am

MollyL

You did the right thing and it took a lot of guts. Those girls need to know someone is on their side.

10:41 am

sciencegeek

They are fed a lot of negative information from their mother about me. She uses those kids emotionally. So, I am not sure how they feel about me being their step grandma. One thing though, they will tell me anything

10:42 am

sciencegeek

I was shocked and angry when I learned of this

10:42 am

MollyL

Obviously, they don't believe what their mother tells them, and they trust you. That is a good thing.

10:42 am

sciencegeek

But they protect her so much.....

10:44 am

MollyL

Emotionally and physically abused people often defend and keep secrets about those abusing them. It's a hard thing to understand, psychologically.

10:44 am

sciencegeek

and my MIL is pissed that I reported this also

10:45 am

MollyL

Well you know what Science? The hell with all those people who are pissed at you. In the next gun fight, one of those girls could have gotten shot.

10:45 am

sciencegeek

I came from an abusive home. left when I turned 16 and lived with a friend and her father. I suppose this is why I have a low tolerance for this type of behavior

10:45 am

sciencegeek

I am sure that another gun fight might occur. She fired first. She is very explosive and unpredictable.

10:46 am

sciencegeek

they drink, smoke pot, and she takes psychotropic mushrooms

10:47 am

MollyL

Those things, and guns is a recipe for disaster.

10:47 am

sciencegeek

she was so high one night, she called her dad and thought she was talking with her brother.

10:48 am

sciencegeek

the girls said that they get drunk and act "weird" almost every night. They don't get up until noon and the girls fend for themselves in the morning

10:48 am

MollyL

Kids in situations like this are helpless unless someone speaks up or steps in. Those girls are lucky that you did.

10:53 am

rururocks

sounds like drugs

10:54 am

sciencegeek

that's what I think. I wonder if they will drug test her in this custody case. She has had to be drug tested by the court several times

10:54 am

sciencegeek

the kids father lives in Chicago. I am hoping that the other step daughter will tell him what has happened. He needs to step up for his children

10:55 am

rururocks

CPS probably would drug test her

10:55 am

sciencegeek

well I did not call CPS. Maybe someone else will

11:02 am

sciencegeek

I am sure she will figure out that it was me. Then, I have to see if she is crazy enough to come here and try to shoot me.

11:04 am

MollyL

Science, I'm hoping that you took the first step in making changes to this awful situation.

11:05 am

sciencegeek

Molly, I reported it to the school principal and the attorney for the other side in her custody battle for two other children from another marraige

11:06 am

sciencegeek

that's all I could do. I was so nervous and scared. I was shaking. I am over the top with anxiety

11:06 am

MollyL

If I'm not mistaken, an attorney is bound by law to report anything told to them that indicated danger to another person, especially children.

11:06 am

sciencegeek

well, there we go.

11:07 am

MollyL

You, my dear, need to take some deep breaths and be confident that you did the right thing.

11:07 am

sciencegeek

Too bad Welkie is not on here now. She would know

11:17 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :)

11:22 am

sciencegeek

Hi nan

11:28 am

rururocks

principals are bound by law as well

11:28 am

sciencegeek

well, the sh*t is going to hit the proverbial fan

11:29 am

rururocks

sounds like it is past due to happen SG

11:30 am

MollyL

Science, something had to change in this situation or one or both of those girls would have ended up injured or dead.

11:30 am

sciencegeek

I hate feeling like I did something wrong and that I will be punished for it by the husband, etc.

11:30 am

oggy

help with the second fe7/40 plz

11:30 am

You didn't do anything wrong.

2:25 pm

crosshair

and him! a shot gun blast in the house!

2:25 pm

jmcnrick

well today the chog has been one to remind me that it is only money. . . what really counts is the ones we love even when they make it hard to love them

2:26 pm

Jillyjill

Kitchen done...time to reward with babbling...hi jmc and crossy

2:30 pm

stidmama

Any time children witness violence, they are harmed. Any time weapons are used in a dispute, there is danger for every person around.

2:30 pm

stidmama

hey jilly

Jillyjill

Hey stiddy!

2:30 pm

stidmama

If people were more willing to get involved, sooner, perhaps things wouldn't get to the point where lives are endangered.

2:31 pm

crosshair

yes,what about the neighbours..no one heard this at all?

2:32 pm

crosshair

though if she has buckshot in her leg,the first dr who sees it will report it,or should

2:32 pm

jmcnrick

depends on where you live. . . house too far apart. . .street noises

2:32 pm

crosshair

here,all weapon wounds are reported to police

2:32 pm

stidmama

in the united states gunshot wounds are a mandatory report

2:33 pm

crosshair

ok

2:33 pm

crosshair

so,if she cannot dig them out,they will get infected and she will have to seek medical aid

Nice day here too, if it wasn't so smoky....

2:37 pm

stidmama

It's warm here... and supposed to hit the 90s again before the end of the week. I am watering every plant in sight.

2:37 pm

Jillyjill

Oh, and deer didn't come back last night...beets still intact...

2:38 pm

crosshair

mmm venison and beets......

2:38 pm

Altagolfnut5

afternoon everyone:)

2:38 pm

stidmama

the deer ate the tops off all the mariposa lilies last night -- right by the front door, and decapitated some of the glads that were about to bloom also

2:39 pm

Jillyjill

Yep, neighbor offered right away to dispatch said deer....

2:39 pm

crosshair

when we lived up north we had to plant a second garden far from the first against the tree line just for the deer and ours was enclosed with chicken wire

2:39 pm

Michnick

Hello everyone. Science, I just wandered through the chog, I am shocked and upset. If you are afraid of your husband, that is a telling thing - do you need protection too?

2:39 pm

crosshair

howdy Altagolfnut5

2:39 pm

stidmama

at least my veggie garden is protected now

2:39 pm

SeaSpray

I just read yesterday that if you cut dryer sheets into one inch strips and hang off plants the deer won't bother them...

2:40 pm

crosshair

howdy mich

2:40 pm

bichon

crossy, don't you already live up north?

2:40 pm

crosshair

not as far as i used to

2:40 pm

bichon

Hi Mich

2:40 pm

Michnick

I can't chat too much. DH is trying to fall asleep; I can chat away once he's asleep but for a few minutes.... SSHHH

2:40 pm

Jillyjill

Dang stid...and yes, bichon, am going to try the dryer sheets

2:40 pm

stidmama

sometimes things like that work, sea -- this year they are eating things they don't even like... they are so thin and hungry

2:42 pm

SeaSpray

awww...poor things...I am a softie when it comes to animals...except ground hogs lol

2:42 pm

crosshair

huh,our deer are fat and round saussages on stilts this year

2:42 pm

jmcnrick

mich i think she is more afraid of the step-daughter

2:43 pm

crosshair

winter ended a month an a half early and they have been eating ever since

2:43 pm

jmcnrick

i can think of lots of animals i don't like. . .rats for example

2:43 pm

stidmama

But mich, you are right -- that is a question that also needs asking.

2:43 pm

jmcnrick

and venison is tasty. . . although i have never hunted myself

2:43 pm

crosshair

yes,says step daughter is a little..off.well of course she is firing guns in the house and the hubby is not better

2:44 pm

stidmama

sorry, I am a little distracted here

2:44 pm

SeaSpray

dang...never thougt about the rats...don't like them either, and snakes don't like snakes

2:44 pm

jmcnrick

I am actually quite good with a rifle...beat the whole family including the now marine at skeet. . .

2:45 pm

jmcnrick

and you didn't even start with insects. . .how about mosquitoes?

2:47 pm

o-o

Takes lot of skill to hunt yourself

2:47 pm

SeaSpray

mosquitoes attacked me over the weekend...and centipedes I really hate yuck!

2:48 pm

jmcnrick

i am crafty that way BR

2:48 pm

Jillyjill

We have an increase of spiders...do they sense an early fall?

2:48 pm

o-o

First thought: The Most Dangerous Game.

2:49 pm

amelu0218

even more to find yourself, BR.

2:49 pm

jmcnrick

i would say more likely all the extra insects because of the mild winter. . . lots to eat

2:49 pm

stidmama

probably -- it's a little early for the indoor migration here (and haven't seen any yet) but the inside spiders are definitely in the end of summer swing of things

2:49 pm

crosshair

we do not have a spider problem here,out cats gobble them up like they are crunchy M&M,s

2:49 pm

jmcnrick

i enjoyed that story when i was young but now it creeps me out too much. . .i have se** too much

2:49 pm

jmcnrick

good point amelu!

2:50 pm

SeaSpray

I agree Jmc...wish I could teach my cat to hunt bugs..he does teenage bunnies and birds

2:50 pm

o-o

hunt to find

2:50 pm

jmcnrick

my brother had a pet spider next to the back door of the house to eat mosquitoes

2:51 pm

jmcnrick

i guess hunting for yourself is the first step in finding yourself

2:51 pm

Jillyjill

I have one cat who's speciality is bugs..the other one likes mice...hey, they pay their rent!

2:51 pm

o-o

I checked lost and found ... no help

2:51 pm

jmcnrick

i just wish i wasn't terrified of bats. . . it would be good to have a bat house. .

2:52 pm

jmcnrick

probably haven't been turned in yet BR

2:53 pm

Jillyjill

They had a women bitten by a bat at a resort near here...thankfully negative for rabies..

2:53 pm

SeaSpray

We have bats in a hedge of cypress trees...they scare me...one night I was coming home from my neighbors whose yard is connected to ours...he is a clown and he started yelling Bats! and I ran home. lol

2:54 pm

Probably that sip from Lethe.

phandmd

or the KE 5/22?

5:31 pm

MollyL

ke5/24 sounds like actor Sutherland (the younger)

5:32 pm

MollyL

ke 5/22 sounds like what you sit on in a park

5:32 pm

ChampFit

5:32 pm

phandmd

I think the ke 5/24 you clued is the first one

5:32 pm

ChampFit

5:33 pm

phandmd

5:33 pm

MollyL

That is a plural. The first ke5/24 sounds like the coral ridges in the sea.

5:34 pm

MollyL

The second 5/24 is ke + the kind of tree you decorate at Christmas

5:35 pm

phandmd

5:45 pm

phandmd

???? hmmm

5:46 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

letters with little flat feet; the feet are called se5s

5:46 pm

ChampFit

If the type doesn't have edges, it's "sans se5/16"

5:46 pm

ChampFit

Excellent description Gwen! I couldn't get there....

Book Doctor Gwen

se + a really cool phrase on a electric guitar is a ***f

5:49 pm

crosshair

phand if it was sh instead of se,ot would almost be a lawman

5:49 pm

ChampFit

It also reminds me of the Sh7 of Nottingham, take off the h.

5:49 pm

crosshair

snap champ

5:50 pm

ChampFit

Great minds, crossy!

5:50 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

wtg perri (she said way too late) !!!!!!!! ~~~~~~~~ !!!!!!!!

5:50 pm

phandmd

thanks! Now off to get those shoes with 55 left. Who knows, maybe later.

5:50 pm

crosshair

gwen,you know you can get a tardis book case now online??

5:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

been there, done that! (well, i've seen the picture anyway, lol)

5:51 pm

ChampFit

Good luck with the running shoes. My daughters' cost more than mine...annoying!

5:51 pm

crosshair

it opens like a real one

5:51 pm

crosshair

spend the money,too late i found out that 30 dollars shoes are not the way to go with heavy walking/running

5:52 pm

ChampFit

...and also have someone fit them so you know they're the right ones.

5:53 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i have a bunch of tardis toys already, and my USB hub is a tardis, very cute

5:53 pm

crosshair

yes,i needed one extra width

5:54 pm

crosshair

i was burning through two pairs of wal-mart specials a summer,but a 150 dollar pair of custom new balance runners are 3 years and still going

5:54 pm

crosshair

and the arch support is superlative

5:55 pm

crosshair

it is almost like they help you run/walk

5:56 pm

ChampFit

crossy, that's too long!!! They're designed to break down around 300-400 miles. You're way past that. Look at the tread...

5:57 pm

crosshair

ahh,yes,i see your point.i do 300-400 mile a month mmm

5:57 pm

crosshair

maybe one a season

5:57 pm

ChampFit

You know what I mean! If you go try on new ones, you'll see the difference immediately. it'll be like walkin' on the moon!

5:58 pm

crosshair

i am sure you are correct,that is how i felt when i first walked out of the store with them,it was almost like they were spring loaded

5:59 pm

crosshair

cheap shoes 9and a tad too much weight) are the reason i have bursitis now i am sure

5:59 pm

ChampFit

(I'll quit after this)...I have aches and pains when my shoes are due for a change. When I get the new ones, voila! No problemos!

5:59 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

finally found another 8

5:59 pm

crosshair

yaa for gwen!

6:00 pm

crosshair

i am still missing four 8,s it tells me

6:00 pm

MollyL

Champ you are spot on about shoes. You need to check the treads on them like you check the treads on your tires.

6:00 pm

ChampFit

I have a friend who writes the month and year on his in Sharpie, so he knows.

6:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i need 7 more eights 8-(

6:01 pm

crosshair

i prefer the new balance because of the width choices

6:01 pm

MollyL

Champ, mine never last more than a year, and sometimes less than that.

6:02 pm

ChampFit

I just switched to them, because I wear a narrow, and Nike was out of my shoe. BUT...this doesn't have as much cushion at the ball of my foot, which is taking some getting used to.

6:02 pm

ChampFit

I run a lot, so I can only go 3-4 months.

6:02 pm

crosshair

i walk mine bald,miles and miles

6:03 pm

ChampFit

Time for a shopping trip, crossy

6:03 pm

crosshair

in all terrain

6:04 pm

ChampFit

You know they make trail shoes? I usually wear old running shoes on trails, but there is a specific shoe for that.

6:06 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well, dinner time, gotta fly, *poink*

6:06 pm

ChampFit

bye gwen!

6:14 pm

crosshair

trail shoes??

6:15 pm

crosshair

i would love a pair of good trail shoes,these days all my walking is now hiking on the mtn

6:17 pm

Trifioso

hello friends.

6:17 pm

crosshair

my doc says now i am semi retired,i have to use my poor knees or lose them\

6:17 pm

crosshair

howdy trif:))

6:17 pm

Trifioso

was out in the garden and got stung by a bee. Took that as a sign that it was time to babble :)

6:17 pm

ChampFit

google them and see what you think crossy. The bottom isn't very cushiony, but supposedly they're better for trails. I dunno...

6:18 pm

ChampFit

Definitely! Bee vs babble? i think not!

6:18 pm

Trifioso

indeed. thanks champ

6:19 pm

Trifioso

crossy, did I tell you about the art project primo and I have been working on? We hung the last of it up this afternoon, and I have to say, it looks SO pretty!

6:20 pm

crosshair

no you did not tell me bout it

6:21 pm

Trifioso

Primo and I collected about 45 blue glass bottles of all sizes and shapes (friends donated tons!) and we took the bottoms off. Then we used galvanized wire, canning jar lids and lots of other bibs and bobs and made them all into hanging lamps, which now hang amongst the grape vines on the pergola over the back deck. There are still a few more spots to fill in, but I am WELL pleased with how they look so far

6:22 pm

Trifioso

we lit them last night.....our very own fireflies! impossible to photograph, but very cool

6:22 pm

ChampFit

Can you take a pic during the day, so we can see the project? Sounds pretty!

6:23 pm

Trifioso

doesn't look quite as cool during the day, but I could try....

6:23 pm

ChampFit

blue bottles are so pretty. I'll bet it's awesome.

6:23 pm

Michelle

That sounds so neat, Trif! What a great idea for beauty!

6:24 pm

Trifioso

I am just so happy with it. It looks exactly like I wanted....

6:24 pm

MollyL

Trif are they electrical lamps or candle lamps?

6:25 pm

Trifioso

I am going to try to upload a photo....and tea lights, molly - teeny candles, they burn themselves out, so no fire concerns

6:26 pm

ChampFit

Now see...I immediately thought electrical! tealights are probably beautiful.

6:26 pm

Trifioso

okay, I changed my profile pic, hopefully that shows it okay?

6:28 pm

ChampFit

Oh I'll bet it's beautiful when lit!

6:29 pm

Trifioso

it really, really is. I love that the bottles are all different shapes and sizes, and that eventually all the labels will weather off.....

6:29 pm

crosshair

sounds very nice indeed trif;)

6:31 pm

Trifioso

let me know when you would like to come over for a nice drink of something lovely....

6:33 pm

crosshair

i once saw an exterior bath room wall on a century stone home done with stone ,mortar and blue and green wine bottle(tops with screw caps facing inwards,it created a rainbow/stained glass effect and if on a cold but sunny day,you removed all the caps you would actuall get heat from the air trapped in the sun warmed bottles

6:34 pm

Anniebrook

Hi everyone, can I get a clue for the first se 6/21?

6:34 pm

Trifioso

what a great idea! I will have to keep saving up! I did save all the blue bottoms....

6:35 pm

Trifioso

by the way, we used physics to get them all off....scored around the bottles first, then boiled them, then took them out with tongs and lowered the bottoms into an ice bath - poof! bottoms popped right off!

6:35 pm

crosshair

yuppers;)

6:38 pm

MollyL

Trif, Sue will be so proud. : )

6:38 pm

Trifioso

thanks!

6:39 pm

MollyL

First se6/21...old game show...I've Got A Se6

6:40 pm

crosshair

there was a company in jamacia(name escapes me now) where the bottles were manufactured in such a way to be intended for home construction9was in 50,s or 60,s as i recall) triff

6:40 pm

Anniebrook

thanks so much, Molly

6:41 pm

MollyL

Glad to help, Annie.

6:42 pm

Trifioso

My front door has a blank glass panel next to it, and I do dream of filling it in with blue bottle bottoms, crossy

6:42 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for cr6-21? Thanks

6:42 pm

crosshair

now there is an idea;)

6:43 pm

Anniebrook

Am I addicted? This morning I had a cataract removed from my left eye and here I am. My daughter was going to spend the night but I sent her home to her family. I am doing well.

6:43 pm

gapeach

Good for you, Annie

6:43 pm

Trifioso

glad to hear the surgery went well!

6:44 pm

Anniebrook

gap, Pants usually have a cr**** . But the word takes a double vowel in the middle

6:45 pm

Anniebrook

thanks trif and gap

6:46 pm

crosshair

and an easy one trif, you make a wooden template the size of the existing window lay out the bottms of the bottles to fill the space and mark them on the wooden panel with pencil,use a jig saw to cut out circlesplace bottoms of bottles into cut out circle using hilti 2-part epoxy to hold them in places and with the remaining wood that shows in the spaces use bits from broken blue plates or jade green

6:46 pm

gapeach

Thanks much, Annie.

6:47 pm

crosshair

we used blue willow plates

6:47 pm

crosshair

they were all chipped anyways

6:47 pm

MollyL

Aw Annie, you should have let your daughter stay and pamper you. I'm glad everything went okay for you.

6:49 pm

Trifioso

crossy, that is a fabulous plan! I am going to remember that, if you don't mind.....

6:49 pm

crosshair

i am glad annie,it makes such a difference,my mrs had 2 cataracts removed and glass lenses place in both eyes

6:49 pm

Trifioso

I used blue willow plates and about a life's worth of sea glass to do my back splash, crossy

6:49 pm

crosshair

6:49 pm

crosshair

sea glass is even better!

9:26 pm

rururocks

k's done.. smugness abides

9:26 pm

stidmama

who knew there were so many S words in the world?

9:26 pm

Dorens

oh smug this!!!

9:26 pm

rururocks

o's done too.. smmmmmmmugo

9:26 pm

Dorens

yes six can be questionable. but of course since my granddaughter is six, i am including it

9:27 pm

Dorens

somebody do something to his insufferable smugness. molly, where are you? kj??

9:27 pm

stidmama

So as I am going through my boxes of things from the office, I am finding little tidbits of materials I have saved for reference and lesson plans I have written. I just need to spend a little time tonight and put them in binders... having things in boxes isn't working for me!

9:30 pm

lbdawger

binders are so handy, i used to tell my students to keep things they were going to reference in binders. better organization than just stuffing them away somewhere.

9:31 pm

MollyL

Smug= highly self satisfied. It's all about Ru, don't ya know. : P

9:31 pm

MollyL

I heard kje was lost in a coffee shop somewhere.

9:31 pm

lbdawger

uh oh...i forgot all about it being about ru.

9:32 pm

stidmama

Yep. A lot of these things were in binders originally, but I had to reuse the binders and was too tired to sort through them at that time. So I am more organized now, and ready to get a handle on it all. Usually I keep things with tabs, cross-referenced, and pretty much high-end records-keeping techniques (which was my background before kids). I just sort of ran out of brains for a while... LOL

9:33 pm

rururocks

<---the world according to RU

9:33 pm

stidmama

DONE with S words.

9:34 pm

MollyL

Smug = contentedly confident in one's ability, superiority or correctness

9:36 pm

lbdawger

you'll get it all together soon, Stiddy.

9:37 pm

*gentle shaking of hokie's shoulders*

11:13 pm

Jillyjill

It's actually pretty fast when you find the 4 and 5 letter words and just add endings to them

11:17 pm

hokie carla

11:18 pm

Jillyjill

Let me know if you need any clues! :-)

11:19 pm

hokie carla

11:25 pm

stidmama

hey hokie et al -- finished eralier, can clue if needed

11:25 pm

Jillyjill

how's your hip stid?

11:29 pm

stidmama

it's "okay" jilly -- still hurts with certain (specific) motion but not as much as even earlier today. It's reproducible, and predictable, so I am assuming it's related to a mechanical issue. Also think the pain is manifesting at a distance from the actual point of owie, so watching where my mechanics may be off.

11:30 pm

Jillyjill

Glad it's getting easier. And sounds like you are doing all the right things!

11:37 pm

stidmama

thanks jilly

11:38 pm

stidmama

hokie carla

Tom and Grant are home -- any last clues before I run away?

11:57 pm

o-o

bananas (adj.) Look up bananas at Dictionary.com
"crazy," 1968; earlier (1935) it was noted as an underworld slang term for "sexually perverted."

11:57 pm

stidmama

okay, clarification: NOT the 1935 version!

11:57 pm
