grannyrose

hello everyone, and a Happy New Year to all of you.

12:17 am

jillibus

ruru, I missed a red light and banged into a car crossing in front of me. It was dark and drizzling. Both airbags in my Toyota Corolla deployed and the front end wa bashed in. The other driver was not hurt -- no passenger.

12:17 am

VolleymomDee

ty, rose, you, too. Hi flosey!

12:17 am

rururocks

oh geez jilli

12:17 am

12:19 am

VolleymomDee

Oh jilli so sorry for you!

12:19 am

CiociaJudy

Hi Flosey and Rose. Fireworks for me. Have a Happy New Year everyone!

12:19 am

12:20 am

VolleymomDee

you, too, judy, and congrats!

12:21 am

rururocks

ugh.. I hate driving at night in the rain

12:21 am

rururocks

it's hard enough in daylight

12:21 am

jillibus

wtg judy!

12:21 am

NonnieLight

I agree, ru!

12:22 am

Bugsaw

hi Jilli. I just looked up and got your news. I am so sorry. Did you get to have Christmas with family?

12:22 am

jillibus

flosey, you're so right about the shock to the system.

12:22 am

rururocks

*orders armored tank for Jilli to tool around iN*

12:22 am

jillibus

Yes, I did, bugs, although I wasn't very comfortable.

12:23 am

NonnieLight

I was in an accident in October and my nerves are still on edge. I'm hyper sensitive to noises and any sudden movement. I'm driving my family nuts!

12:23 am

Bugsaw

Something like that is a terrible shock and not having a car is no fun.

12:23 am

rururocks

that's PTSD nonnie

12:23 am

jillibus

I've posted the story on FB for friends.

12:24 am

you weren't cruising for a bruising were you Jilli?

12:24 am

jillibus

Insurance says I can get a rental and/or taxis until I replace the wrecked car.

12:24 am

NonnieLight

That is what the doc said. I caught myself dodging a shopping cart in the grocery store the other day...sheesh!

12:24 am

jillibus

Spare me, ruru!

12:24 am

sammysmom

12:25 am

sammysmom

if the devil danced in empty pockets, he'd have a ball in mine

12:25 am

Bugsaw

wow you guys are fast!

12:26 am

NonnieLight

Jilli, will your insurance pay for the entire rental or just a portion? Mine would only pay $20 a day which wasn't half the cost of the rental.

12:26 am

IndiaJan

Well..i would say that this one was a bit too easy

12:26 am

jillibus

I'm told they'll pay it all, Nonnie.

12:26 am

grannyrose

couple of bits of news. first...i'm gonna be a granny again, number 3 on it's way....second, my step-daughter has just had her appendix removed, poor kid, she's gonna miss the NY celebrations.

12:33 am

rururocks

well done.. keep going jilli

12:33 am

jillibus

Nonnie, the car is totalled -- front end bashed in.

12:33 am

rururocks

this is an easy one

12:33 am

jillibus

ty ruru

12:34 am

rururocks

oye..it's a toyota totallo

12:35 am

NonnieLight

Ugh...well, my heart goes out to you because it is a nightmare dealing with insurances and the lender. I'll be thinking of you and hoping for a speedy and full recovery.

12:37 am

jillibus

I really loved that car -- the dealer called it a "baby Lexus". It was a silvery colour and didn't show the dirt -- leather seats, sunroof (they called it a moonroof for some incomprehensible reason), just a perfect car for me.

12:37 am

rururocks

good night and good luck everyone.. i'm off to go read

12:37 am

NonnieLight

night night ru Happy New Year

12:38 am

grannyrose

night, ruru, hope you are able to rest and sleep well.

12:38 am

Bugsaw

it was a lovely car Jilli and it kept you safe when you needed it. I know how you will miss it.

12:38 am

jillibus

People tell me I should get a Subaru (all wheel drive for our possibly snowy hills) -- I'll try for a secondhand Legacy sedan, I think, although that's bigger than I need.

12:39 am

melonheadjujube

just got here. oh, my, jilli! areYOU all right?

12:39 am

jillibus

I'm shaken, melon, and a bit stirred but ok, thanks.

12:40 am

NonnieLight

Mine van wasn't anything special but it served me and my grandchildren well. Auto sliding doors, stow-n-go seats, I could haul a small army, if I had to. I wasn't looking to replace it so trying to select a new car was awful. My heart wasn't in it and I was afraid to drive.

12:41 am

melonheadjujube

Sounds as if you could use something shaken and/or stirred. No surprise your good humor remains intact.

12:42 am

NonnieLight

lol melon :o)

12:42 am

jillibus

I did that already melon <wink>

12:45 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

12:47 am

12:48 am

grannyrose

12:48 am

Lizlin

That's so special, Rose :)

12:49 am

melonheadjujube

I need the 4th row S for NBT, have NBS already. No clue yet, please, only this: is at least on of the two a word I should know?

12:49 am

grannyrose

it sure is, liz. she is a very reticent child. she even cuddled into me, trying to avoid my mother.

12:49 am

Lizlin

congrats peach :)

12:49 am

grannyrose

melon, sy4

12:50 am

Lizlin

No - because it was you she wanted to snuggle!!!

12:50 am

gapeach

Thanks, Lizlin.

12:50 am

melonheadjujube

rightmost row grey, or gray. I'm on a freakin' tear!

12:51 am

jillibus

wtg peach

12:51 am

melonheadjujube

thanks g-rose, I did figure it was an sy, and my attempt after your chiming in was the good guess. NBT for me, 18 to go.

12:53 am

grannyrose

yay, melon. and yay me, just had a call from work, very quiet so i have wednesday off as well, on pay.

12:53 am

Lizlin

Paid leave is always good :)

12:53 am

grannyrose

oh, and peach...WTG GAPEACH!!!!

12:54 am

Lizlin

Probably good that work is quiet too, as you're medical!!!

12:54 am

grannyrose

mental more like it, liz.....

12:55 am

grannyrose

melon, there's an fy4, same as sy4

12:55 am

melonheadjujube

days off are great. I'm halfway through a two week break as I work for a school district. Mostly nursing a very sore hip, possibly a labral tearâ€”that's with an R! :D

12:56 am

Lizlin

Wish you better melon :)

12:56 am

grannyrose

lol, you're safe melon...ruru not here.

12:56 am

NonnieLight

lol melon

12:57 am

melonheadjujube

lolX2!

12:57 am

grannyrose

how did you do that, melon?

12:58 am

melonheadjujube

tx Lizlin. It all started with a turned left ankle, which is not better either, then the R hip. Not even sure how it happened, just proof I've hit that age where my warraty has run out and I'm responsible for my own parts and maintenance. MRI Weds, pain doc next week, ortho 24 Jan. Eh.

12:59 am

grannyrose

awww, melon, understand what you are saying. ditto here.

1:00 am

NonnieLight

ouch, melon! I hope you get some good and quick relief from your pain.

1:00 am

melonheadjujube

What's weird, or maybe not as less weight bearing is involved, is that I can ride a bicycle for 20 miles, but can barely walk around the block.

1:00 am

Lizlin

I hate these aches and pains that seem to come about this age - I'm similar to both of you, having read your profiles!

1:00 am

melonheadjujube

tx, gr. I'm always in simpatico company here.

1:01 am

melonheadjujube

15 to go, time to consult lickety.

1:01 am

grannyrose

don't forget dee....she is nearly there also.

1:02 am

Lizlin

Lots of people around the same age!

1:02 am

grannyrose

and there is ruru....and dart.....the list goes on

1:02 am

melonheadjujube

I am so used to being active. I miss salsa and tap dancing, and just getting around. Hell I miss tying my shoes, it's all clogs and slip ons for me for now.

1:03 am

melonheadjujube

jumping, taking the stairs with alternating feet instead of left always leading. I got a cane :(

1:03 am

grannyrose

hmmmm, what does this say about babbleland?

1:03 am

melonheadjujube

That we've hit the age where playtime is precious, that's why we're all here!

1:04 am

grannyrose

melon, i'm actually contemplating trying to mow the lawns, that's how good my new knee feels.

1:04 am

melonheadjujube

Where's Neil to bring the average age down a decade or two? ;)

1:04 am

Lizlin

That's awesome!

1:04 am

grannyrose

probably getting over celebrating his birthday.

1:04 am

melonheadjujube

Good to hear. Surgery is a possibility here, arthroscopic repair to the hip.

1:05 am

Lizlin

Great that there are some younger people, who love words :)

1:05 am

jillibus

FW thanks to the baby swan(s)

1:05 am

Lizlin

18 left - just about to ask for a clue for the en 7, when it just jumped out at me!!!

1:05 am

flosey

back in time to see you FW jilli, wtg

1:05 am

Lizlin

Congrats Jilli :)

1:06 am

NonnieLight

aha...fw's also. I was hunting for the swans also only I didn't know it! lol

1:06 am

grannyrose

i'm up for the other knee and both hips. i told my ortho surgeon, if they don't hurt, you don't get to play with them.

1:06 am

grannyrose

WTG NONNIE!!!!

1:06 am

NonnieLight

1:08 am

melonheadjujube

1:09 am

grannyrose

1:09 am

NonnieLight

1:12 am

NonnieLight

Heading to bed...night all and an early Happy New Year!

1:12 am

melonheadjujube

Aha, so my many performances of Swan Lake have equipped me for this grid! 5 to go, all 4-letter words, 4 tiles.

1:12 am

Lizlin

Sleep well Nonnie :)

1:12 am

grannyrose

1:13 am

1:14 am

melonheadjujube

1:14 am

grannyrose

and you, also, melon. i learned ballet until i was 16. i then had to make a decision...the dance or nursing...nursing won.

1:15 am

grannyrose

often wonder what may have happened if i chose the dance....

1:15 am

Lizlin

You wouldn't be dancing now!!!

1:16 am

Lizlin

I only say that because a friend who's got to have her knee replaced in Jan, has always been physical - it didn't keep her supple!

1:17 am

Lizlin

She swam several times a week!

1:17 am

melonheadjujube

I know choosing music was a happy decision for me. I never made more than 1/3 of my living playing, but i got to chase the dream and take a little bite.

1:17 am

grannyrose

i mightn't need to be, liz. i might have been a world-famous danseur...it was on the cards..

1:17 am

Lizlin

Sorry if it sounded v harsh! Wasn't meant that way! Sounds like you were very good.

1:18 am

grannyrose

aww, melon, so glad you were able to do that. me? i sit there and watch the dance...and dream a little.

1:18 am

Lizlin

I hope that you've still been able to enjoy dance, even though you chose nursing.

1:18 am

melonheadjujube

feu d'artifice!

1:18 am

Lizlin

My step son is a musician but teaches to make money!

1:19 am

grannyrose

yeah, liz, my teacher had me ready for the australian ballet school. she was so sure i would choose that career.

1:19 am

grannyrose

yeah, liz, my teacher had me ready for the australian ballet school. she was so sure i would choose that career.

1:19 am

Lizlin

I guess that means congrats melon :)

1:19 am

melonheadjujube

gr, when I do my water exercise I pretend I'm a ballerina. Why not?

1:19 am

melonheadjujube

yep, Lizlin. Now to bed, unless anyone wants a clue or two.

1:20 am

Lizlin

Oh wow! That must've been such a difficult decision! Why the nursing route? I've got 2 left feet, so am quite envious, though I do dance with hubby when opportunity presents!

1:20 am

Lizlin

Sleep well melon - til next year! :)

1:20 am

melonheadjujube

2013, 100th anniversary of The Rite of Spring!

1:20 am

grannyrose

lol, melon. so true. we all feel elegant and graceful in the water. except moi...i had to exercise with flippers on. not elegant at all!

1:21 am

grannyrose

night, melon, hun. hope you sleep well.

1:21 am

Lizlin

No - I'm not elegant! Unbalanced more like! :)

1:22 am

grannyrose

liz, the way i saw it, i needed a career which could carry me through to my dotage....i didn't see dancing as that.

1:23 am

Lizlin

A decision from the head rather than the heart?

1:23 am

grannyrose

yes, liz...still love to watch the dance though.;)

1:24 am

Lizlin

Does Don share the love of dance?

1:25 am

grannyrose

and i'm hip enough to enjoy modern ballet. and no, don does not share my love. so this is one area of my life where we go at tangents.

1:26 am

Lizlin

But I guess you have friends that you can share it with - it's good to be able to indulge your loves and I would think there's some good ballet in Melbourne

1:29 am

grannyrose

liz, the only friend i could share with, died 3 years ago. but i am very patient. one year i will be able to afford the season's ticket again. then i will wallow, luxuriate, indulge in the dance. * sigh *

1:29 am

Lizlin

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :)

1:30 am

grannyrose

thanx liz.

1:33 am

Lizlin

I make really good fresh ground coffee at home, so it never occurs to me to go out for it.

11:54 am

cosdem

I usually get mine free at 711 at ryans store .. theyre not too bad for a gas station lol

11:55 am

MollyL

7-11 coffee is okay if it is fresh. If it has been sitting around, it tastes like gasoline.

11:57 am

cosdem

right, ryan always brews it fresh for me

12:03 pm

cosdem

12:04 pm

Nef

12:05 pm

cosdem

12:06 pm

Nef

"hows your back today, cos did you get moved" was not found in the dictionary

12:06 pm

cosdem

for some reason i have jerry springer on and this guy is leaving his wife for his first cousin..

12:06 pm

Nef

(just thought I'd end the year the way I started I guess--- chatting in the wrong box

12:07 pm

cosdem

back still sore a bit.. but all i have left are boxes from junk drawers and pictures to put up..... so im about done

12:07 pm

cosdem

(hides from molly as she finds out i lifted things)

12:08 pm

Nef

good for you. just take it easy on your back; ice when you rest if possible

12:08 pm

cosdem

yeah and i do need to break in the bathtub :)

12:08 pm

Nef

oops! Sorry to mention it then

12:09 pm

MollyL

Hey, if you were dumb enough to lift with a bad back, you deserve what you got. So there. : P

12:09 pm

cosdem

lol yeah... i just felt bad for ryan dragging the hidea ed up 2 flights alone

12:10 pm

cosdem

no worries nef id have told her anyway lol

12:10 pm

MollyL

You need to get one of those back braces that the FedEx guys wear.

12:11 pm

cosdem

ugh his store has these.. why didnt i think of that? next time for sure

12:11 pm

Nef

"next time?"

12:11 pm

Nef

how often are you moving?

12:12 pm

MollyL

They are great for any time you are going to be doing a lot of lifting or moving things around. Or anything else that aggravates your back.

12:12 pm

MollyL

<---Has lower back issues

12:13 pm

cosdem

we only got a 6 month lease here. we needed a place close to his store asap. theres another complex down the street we want more (the treehouse) and will be avail. in 6 months.

12:13 pm

cosdem

thanks for the tip molly ill have to rememberin june

12:13 pm

Nef

I do not envy you at all, cos. I hate moving

12:14 pm

cosdem

so do i.. im at the point where im saying if i like it here in 6 months im staying.. ryan says no but.. i have 5 months to convince him :P

12:15 pm

MollyL

Damn, I'm not sure how much I would unpack if I was only living somewhere for 6 months.

12:15 pm

cosdem

fireworks

12:16 pm

Nef

I think I'd put everything in storage (esp if you're going up 2 flights!) and just have my bed, a chair and some clothes out for 6 months

12:16 pm

Nef

YAY, cos!!! WTG!!!

12:17 pm

cosdem

lol id go crazy.. im sadly materialistic.. trying to change that though :)

12:21 pm

Nef

I'd like to pare down and get rid of stuff. I'm not materialistic; but I am sentimental and have been sorting through stuff this past year (but my DIL thinks my place is full of junk!)

12:22 pm

MollyL

Well, I was just forced to clean out the laundry room for a hot water heater repair, so I am in "throw it away" mode. : D

12:23 pm

Nef

(We had ALL of my DH's AUnts' stuff dumped here on Dec. 11th last year after her fire and then she'd died and the storage comapny was through storing stuff)

12:24 pm

MollyL

Nef, that is extra tough, having to sort through someone else's stuff.

12:24 pm

Nef

It's been a huge job; but we're getting through it. My DIL is the type that wants to throw everything (including antiques) and buy new (what I consider "junk") furniture (made out of particle wood or whatever)

12:25 pm

MollyL

Ew no. Keep the antiques.

12:25 pm

cosdem

yes keep them!

12:25 pm

cosdem

id rather have antiques than ikea :)

12:26 pm

MollyL

I have a low boy and a china closet that belonged to my grandparents. I will never get rid of them. They are gorgeous.

12:26 pm

cosdem

ok im off to the thrift store to buy vhs movies :)

12:27 pm

Nef

Yeah. We have numerous charities that do curb side pick up here. So we've had bags of stuff that we've given away every week. Plus 12 bags of clothing at one haul to a women's shelter (Aunty was very stylish for an 86 y/o!)

12:28 pm

Nef

And I'm speaking of huge garbage bags, not paper grocery bags!

12:28 pm

Nef

You like vhs movies cos?

12:29 pm

suz01

it's always good to re-purpose things if you can

12:29 pm

MollyL

That's nice that you donated to the women's shelter. They always need clothing.

12:29 pm

suz01

stued

12:29 pm

suz01

opps so sorry

12:31 pm

Nef

It's a women's shelter for battered women and their kids. Our church and my women's group are always asking for donations for them.

12:32 pm

Nef

Our last "clothing" drive at church asked for single sheets and towels and blankets for them. We got 21 brand new single sheet sets for them (I can't remember what else; but I thought that was impressive)

12:34 pm

Nef

suz; if it isn't a word; don't worry. But you could warn us! ;-)

12:34 pm

MollyL

That was nice of you Nef. Those places rely on donations.

12:37 pm

Nef

our womens group works really hard at helping that center and also the pregnancy center I worked at.

12:41 pm

Nef

I have 12 words left; but I need to go get dressed and try to find my fondue pot. We're doing fondue tonight and my pot is missing for some reason. (It's probably out in the garage in a box of pots and pans ; and it's COLD out there today!)

Ps4/5 babblers! I ac4/6 this grid in no time so now here is a story of clues as I always te4/5 to do when I'm done When I was in college I got bu 6/30 trying to steal a cup of coffee from a ca 4/8 that I worked in. I'd just gotten to work and needed my early dose of ca4/11eine. Even though I worked there,I still had to pay for the coffee. I decided to de4/10 the stupid store rules and took a cup of coffee without paying for it. When I didn't pay for my coffee, a ge 4/6leman named Te 5/8, who was also my boss, caught me taking it.I denied any wrong doing and told him I had already paid. He said, "it really ge4/6 my goat when people steal & then lie about it!" Things got really te4/4e & we argued for about ten minutes. Then he threatened to get the fe 4/8 involved so I decided to conce4/6 and gave in. I had to fa4/8 the consequences of my actions. I was also fa 5/20 with criminal charges. Fortunately, I did not go to jail.I got fired from that job and got no more pay st4/7s. This en 4/5 my story. I am going to go watch the Gwyneth Paltrow film "Du 5/14".

Before you moan and complain about the lorries on the motorway, take time out to remember who delivers what you want, where you want it to be, all year round. A Trucker is for Life, not just for Christmas. xxx

It's been a strange NY Eve here due to family stuff, but thinking back over the past year I think the positives and negatives were fairly equal. Would quite like more positives in 2013 though.

cosdem

Its silly but I always have bad luck in odd numbered years and this coming year ends with the number 13!

11:41 pm

Jillyjill

2012 brought a lot of bad things, lost 4 good friends and hubby diagnoesed with Alzheimers...so am looking forward to 2013 being better
