hello everyone :)

12:09 am

jillibus

Stidkid#1 posted that the fire was probably electric, and it was on Monday. Lucky the dog and the budgies were smothered, but the people were okay -- maybe all were out at the time.

12:09 am

mymuseisme

hi nan

12:09 am

jillibus

a

12:09 am

CrackersNTea

she posted it on FB so i think it is ok to share here.

12:09 am

CrackersNTea

She had a house fire and it appears that they lost a whole lot. Their dog and pet birds were killed.

12:10 am

CrackersNTea

They are living in a hotel for now and she had a minor car accident today.

12:10 am

mymuseisme

oh my how awful for Stid

12:10 am

VolleymomDee

12:10 am

cosdem

I feel ill now.

12:10 am

jillibus

pparently the walls and roof are still there, but pets and possessions are gone. I gather the family is in a hotel. Terrible tragedy.

CrackersNTea

12:16 am

cybernan

Are you saying that Stid and Tom's house burned down?

12:17 am

jillibus

One positive note -- they do have insurance.

12:17 am

CrackersNTea

they had a fire and lost all of their possessions and pets, but apparently the walls and roof are still standing, but yes, it's gone

12:17 am

jillibus

Yes, nan -- not totally though. It may be either repaired or replaced.

12:17 am

rururocks

to lose their pets that way.. horrible

12:17 am

cybernan

how awful!

12:17 am

cosdem

poor Lucky :(

12:18 am

jillibus

Stid adored her Lucky -- so terribly sad.

12:18 am

cosdem

what a brave person she is

12:19 am

jillibus

Thinking about it, I'm getting all teary again.

12:23 am

rururocks

i'm kind of stunned

12:25 am

sammysmom

I FEEL BADLY FOR STID AND HE FAMILY... AND I AM GRATEFUL THAT SHE SEEM TO BE A TOUGH PERSON AND WILL WEATHER THIS

12:25 am

cybernan

me too ruru

12:25 am

VolleymomDee

definitely feels unreal... trying to stay thankful for their safety, but the enormous weight of the entire situation takes over... does leave one numb...

12:25 am

sammysmom

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

fire + car crashed into... how did the car crash happen?

12:50 am

mcurlschool

somebody ran into her as she was returning to the hotel with dinner

12:51 am

VolleymomDee

unreal

12:54 am

jillibus

going to FB to see stid -- nbt/nbs but that's enough distraction

12:55 am

CrackersNTea

I'm chatting with her, too -they basically have to start all over again.

1:03 am

stidmama

((((((jill)))))) hello everyone

1:03 am

stidmama

crackers said you were talking about me

1:03 am

vashongin

hi stid...glad to hear you and your family are safe

1:03 am

VolleymomDee

Oh, stid, my heart is aching for you and your family. I'll be praying for you.

1:04 am

VolleymomDee

I cannot imagine how you must be feeling, but so glad you and your family were not hurt.

1:04 am

stidmama

thanks, dee and all. We will be okay.

1:04 am

Aloyisius

stid, I'm so so sorry to read about the fire and the accident, so glad you are all ok.. sending (( )) s of support and good thoughts your way

1:04 am

VolleymomDee

Do they know how it started?

1:04 am

stidmama

I am mostly "okay" with moments of extreme not-okayness.

1:05 am

VolleymomDee

It would definitely take me a long time to even begin to be okay.

1:05 am

stidmama

It was an electrical fire. No official word yet though.

1:05 am

VolleymomDee

So scary.

1:05 am

stidmama

I am just so very relieved my Grant wasn't more badly hurt than needing a couple stitches.

1:06 am

stidmama

Even the loss of cherished heirlooms is bearable because he is okay and Matthew of course doesn't live with us any more.

1:07 am

VolleymomDee

Definitely puts one's priorities in a non-material place.

1:07 am

stidmama

The loss of Lucky hurts the most. I can't think too often of him. But we were able to bury him with Buffy's ashes which were saved in the house, so that felt right.

1:07 am

grannyrose

stiddy, when you have time, no hurry. i have sent you an email.

1:08 am

stidmama

I don't know how I will ever get over that loss, but I know I will. i have after losing other pets. It's just hard for a while.

1:08 am

stidmama

thanks rose

1:08 am

VolleymomDee

Glad you were able to have that closure for some peace.

1:08 am

stidmama

It was important to "take care" of him, even though it was too little, too late.

1:09 am

VolleymomDee

I can imagine.

1:09 am

Aloyisius

how sad for you and your family..

1:09 am

McLeach

Don't know that we've ever spoken, but i am sorry for your losses, stidmama.

1:09 am

grannyrose

stiddy, know what you mean. i still weep in the small hours for my beloved jonah. not a lot, just weep because i miss his loving trust in me.

1:10 am

stidmama

thanks McLeach

1:10 am

McLeach

yw

1:10 am

stidmama

Well, gee. It's easier when people aren't so nice. *sigh*

1:10 am

ursh

hi stid - hugs and good thoughts coming you way

1:11 am

stidmama

I am going to go shopping tomorrow to replace some of my clothes. Have to get some sleep before my friend comes to pick me up.

1:11 am

stidmama

((ursh))

1:11 am

Aloyisius

we are thinking of you, stid.. tc

1:11 am

grannyrose

please be kind to yourself, stiddy. you are a wonderful person.

1:12 am

stidmama

OH! you'll ALL love this...

the friend who "caught" Grant when he was born was out shopping today. She's the one our elder son is staying with the last 8 months. Anyway, out of the blue they showed up at the hotel with a "sampler" of about 9 different types of CHOCLITS!!!!

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

Praying for strength and stamina for you.

1:12 am

stidmama

So if you are inclined to drop by, I can treat you! :-)

1:12 am

stidmama

See, I am really consistent online and IRL.

1:13 am

VolleymomDee

Best kind of friend! Hugs to her!

1:13 am

stidmama

I think I like the "three ingredient" choclit patties the most. Dark choclit, honey, peppermint oil (the only mint I can tolerate). I LOVE those! So you-all can share from the others... choclit covered orange, choclit and almonds, choclit bars, choclit bits... *grin* she wanted to replenish my supply.

1:13 am

grannyrose

choclit is good. and a great friend to realise that you needed some.

1:13 am

stidmama

Yep. She's amazing.

1:14 am

stidmama

anyway. Thanks to you all for being here, and for caring. We will be okay, and I will be back on babble as soon as I can. Maybe in a couple of days. I'll need the distraction more as some of these things sink in.

1:15 am

grannyrose

too true, stiddy. even if it's only for a few minutes.

1:15 am

stidmama

Meantime, unplug electrical appliances when not in use. And tell everyone how much they mean to you when you have the chance. And be patient with the short disheveled woman who smells of smoke. She's having a hard week.

1:15 am

VolleymomDee

I am sure that will be true, and we will be thrilled to "see" you.

1:16 am

stidmama

((((hugs)))) and ***choclits!***

*poof*

1:39 am

flosey

oh darn, just missed stid - my heart goes out to her, we've been there

1:51 am

grannyrose

flosey, stiddy knows that we are praying for her. she actually seems to be in quite good spirits. little flashes of humour breaking through. she certainly is doing it tough at the moment.

1:53 am

flosey

they have a tough row to hoe for a while - takes months to get everything sorted out and back in place - hopefully the home can be restored

1:57 am

grannyrose

i have been blessed, never had to deal with the trauma of physically losing my home.came close once, during the bushfires in the early 80's.

1:58 am

flosey

that must have been very frightening

2:01 am

grannyrose

yup, it was. and you? what happened with your home?

2:02 am

flosey

afternoon, 3 of the kids were home - smelled smoke, one ran down to the cellar and turned off the power while another called fire department - then got out

2:02 am

flosey

hubby, coming home from work, drove up to see the road blocked with fire engines, etc

2:03 am

flosey

I was working late, so received a phone call - not to go into the house, go next door, where we spent the night, then saw insurance next day and they put us up in a local hotel for the next couple of months

2:06 am

grannyrose

what incredible kids!!! and like stiddy's fire, was it caused by an electrical fault?

2:08 am

flosey

no, a chimney above fireplace - that had been approved, fire started between floors, smoke was coming through the joints

2:09 am

grannyrose

good grief, flosey. you could all have been burnt in your beds....

2:10 am

flosey

was January, so cold winter day, one started a fire in fireplace - which was normally absolutely OK, but for the chimney, it was the straw that broke.......

2:11 am

flosey

we were very lucky

2:12 am

flosey

Insurance covered everything

2:12 am

grannyrose

so did you have to rebuild from scratch?

2:14 am

flosey

no, brick home, internal damage, one bedroom floor crashed down into livingroom

2:15 am

flosey

absolutely every piece of cloth in the house was sent out to be cleaned, carpets replaced, etc.etc.

2:15 am

grannyrose

well i guess that was something good. haven't heard how badly stiddy's home has been damaged. but from the sounds of it, it was pretty horrendous.

2:16 am

flosey

it's a dreadful shock to a person's entire system

2:19 am

grannyrose

yay, just had a phone call from don's sister. i don't have to commit murder after all.

2:19 am

flosey

I have a great respect for all firemen - they try their best to salvage items that could be family treasures, etc

2:22 am

grannyrose

she had told us she wouldn't be having mother mac easter sunday. it is a special day for my side of the family, when we all get together and celebrate with a picnic in the park. plus this year it was to be my birthday celebration as well.when she said she wouldn't be taking care of mother mac sunday, i had visions of having to drag her to the park or miss the day's outing altogether.

2:23 am

marigold

fa

2:23 am

grannyrose

as usual, she got her dates and days all mixed up. so....she IS picking up mother mac on easter sunday morning and bringing her back easter monday night. phw!!!!

2:23 am

grannyrose

hey marigold

2:24 am

flosey

oh good rose, glad you'll be able to have a nice time with hubby

2:24 am

flosey

2:44 am

flosey

hi there worzel, and hi sandy

2:45 am

sandyloo

hi flo and gran and worz

2:45 am

worzel

hi flo and sandy xxx

2:45 am

sandyloo

just here for a minute until daughter of evil comes home and forces me to be a farrier to her horse (I am no farrier and I hate doing it, i am learning)

2:46 am

sandyloo

have to do it bit by bit over a couple of days - i am too old and it can be scary

2:47 am

flosey

ah, lots of work there

2:47 am

sandyloo

flo it is not easy and it is dangerous

2:48 am

sandyloo

does save a lot of money tho

2:48 am

flosey

how so?

2:49 am

flosey

you mean by handling it all by yourself rather than hiring someone else to do it?

2:49 am

sandyloo

farriers charge at least $100 to do the feet

2:49 am

sandyloo

and they have to be done every 6 weeks at least

2:50 am

sandyloo

so with 3 horses it saves a lot

2:50 am

flosey

ouch, horses can be quite an expense

2:51 am

sandyloo

they can, you have to do their teeth every six months and worming and feed (feed is down at this time of year)

2:51 am

flosey

one of my bridge partners has horses, rides every day, takes them to various competitions off island

2:52 am

sandyloo

what island?

2:52 am

worzel

how many letters in the longest word please? xxx

2:52 am

flosey

we live on a small island, Salt Spring Is. between Vancouver Island and mainland

2:53 am

flosey

there is 1 x 9 letter word

2:53 am

worzel

ty flosey xxx

2:53 am

sandyloo

she sounds very devoted. we have shown horses for many years- at the moment tho we have just broken in one horse and training another lots of work

2:53 am

flosey

5 x 8

2:54 am

flosey

but it keeps you out of doors lots, which is healthy

2:55 am

sandyloo

it does indeed I think it adds years to your life providing you dont get killed in the meantime

2:55 am

kje

yes, I love playing. That lovely rush of words when you start a big grid, or that weirdly fascinating struggle to find the few words of a tiny tight one. All fun.

5:20 am

grannyrose

yeah...and finding an unword...and your head goes 'what the hey?'

5:21 am

sprite

yeah exactly :) Then looking it up and finding a def that forces you to look up the meaning of the words in the def...

5:22 am

sprite

or the other way around... not finding a word and then finally spotting it and wondering how on earth you missed it

5:22 am

grannyrose

lol, an endless search for the meaning of why.....

5:23 am

sprite

btw... did you know I have started a babble dictionary? It is in my profile. Might be good for a laugh or two.

5:23 am

grannyrose

oh, and missing the obvious plural....what a 'duh' moment is that!!

5:24 am

sprite

I can condone missing the obvious plural. But I really hit myself over the head when I have the plural but not the singular. Happens to me a lot still.

5:27 am

sprite

oh good God... it is snowing again! Shoot that groundhog.

5:27 am

grannyrose

and the times when you know you have typed in a word, and enable says ' no such word in dictionary'. then later you type it in, and it is accepted.

5:28 am

sprite

hehehe indeed... and all those times when you have entered a word and it was accepted, and then at the end they have disappeared from your list...

5:28 am

grannyrose

hey, who lives in a country renowned for it's snow???

5:29 pm

5:33 pm

MollyL

It has to be some kind of emergency for me to be in a grocery store at night. I would rather get up early and be in there at 6AM.

5:34 pm

5:37 pm
