grannyrose

{{ruby}} hello....how is everything?

4:14 am

rubyfoo

4:15 am

grannyrose

is rafaella settling a little?

4:16 am

rubyfoo

I shouldn't compplain, but it's much harder than I expected. Mud everywhere and Ruffino is terribly jealous, no matter how much extra attention he gets. He literally pushes the baby around. He doesn't growl, though, and she doesn't yelp, so I guess he isn't hurting her.

4:16 am

rubyfoo

But husband is no help

4:16 am

grannyrose

no surprises that DH is no help...sounds like ruffino is just putting the little girl in her place.

4:17 am

rubyfoo

Rafaella is fine. acclimated to the house and garden immediately and is pretty much housebroken.

4:17 am

rubyfoo

as long as he doesn't injure her. I can't bear to Watch when they "horse" around

4:18 am

ursh

hello all - ruby my daughter has two small/medium dog pups and she is finding it a handful (and she is only 41) so can imagine two large dog pups quite a handful on your own

4:18 am

rubyfoo

I spent the whole weekend washing muddy towels and cleaning the muddy steps. Today is sunny, but they are actually predicting rain for the rest of the week. The flowers will be wnderful, if I live that ong and don't Wind up in jail for strangling DH

4:18 am

grannyrose

hey urshy

4:19 am

rubyfoo

hello urshy

4:19 am

rubyfoo

hello urshy

4:19 am

rubyfoo

Maybe I'm just too old t be a "new mother"! lol

4:19 am

ursh

hmmm reading that post daughter would like that i said "she is ONLY 41"

4:20 am

rubyfoo

tell her that 41 was my absolutely best year!

4:21 am

ursh

i enjoyed 40 - 50 - street smart but young enough to do lots

4:26 am

grannyrose

i liked turning 50....realised i was old enough to speak my mind, politely of course. and what i had to say mattered.

4:26 am

rubyfoo

at 50, I was gratefull to have my cancer behind me, but lost my looks soon after

4:27 am

rubyfoo

but aaah, the 40's and single

4:29 am

ChrissieDee

.... waiting for the book of Ruby's 40's .......

4:29 am

ChrissieDee

Hi ruby, rose, ursh

4:30 am

rubyfoo

molly will be my ghost writer and we'll have to work out a nom de plume

4:30 am

rubyfoo

I think after next year

4:30 am

rubyfoo

4:30 am

grannyrose

4:31 am

ChrissieDee

Happy Birthday (belatedly) rose, and thank you

4:31 am

rubyfoo

4:31 am

rubyfoo

4:32 am

rubyfoo

I have to go and see to DH and mud puppies. See you later and big hugs for my Babble friends

4:32 am

ChrissieDee

Just in time, hubby has pneumonia now. Spent saturday at hospital but he is home on double antibiotics. I'm still wiped out but he is totally out of it, what a pair we make!

4:33 am

grannyrose

*giggle* silly ruby...chrissie's news in her profile was on my birthday. thanx anyway, my friend. i had a great weekend, spent yesterday with my bro's, their wives and assorted nephews and nieces, and my own mum as well.

4:33 am

ChrissieDee

Bye ruby

4:33 am

ChrissieDee

Sounds like a lovely weekend rose

4:34 am

rubyfoo

*woof*

4:35 am

grannyrose

oh, and called in to see number 2 son and his family on the way home, to be greeted by a huge smile and open arms from my grand-daughter. she is very reserved, and only 3 years old.

4:35 am

ChrissieDee

Do you see much of her rose?

4:36 am

grannyrose

not as much as i would like chrissie. still working myself, plus trying to run a household which includes a 94 year old, with all the demands she makes on me.

4:37 am

ChrissieDee

That's a shame, but what a lovely welcome :)

4:38 am

grannyrose

DH does what he can, but with no medical background, he can't think on his feet if a problem crops up.

4:39 am

grannyrose

am trying to sort out some sort of schedule where DH and i can visit fortnightly, so the 2 little ones become used to us, before number 3 arrives in august.

4:40 am

ChrissieDee

Is it your mum who lives with you?

4:41 am

ChrissieDee

Sorry, just checked your profile, see it is youe mil

4:43 am

ChrissieDee

I agree with your hubby, you must indeed be superwoman to cope with all that is going on and your own health problems

4:48 am

grannyrose

lol, chrissie, a girl just does what a girl has to do....right?

4:49 am

ChrissieDee

Yes, but still think you are superwoman ;D

4:51 am

grannyrose

awww, go on...we're all super women, chrissie. each and everyone of us does the impossible everyday.

4:58 am

ChrissieDee

Time for a break, bbl. take care rose

4:58 am

grannyrose

*grin* ibd, thanx for the support. as i said earlier...we are all super women. we all achieve the impossible everyday.

6:41 am

sprite

we certainly do. Just a shame our superwoman achievements don't register much.

6:41 am

grannyrose

it's been very exciting and challenging. we have opened our 4 new operating theatres and the new 10 bay PACU.....

6:42 am

sprite

what's a pacu?

6:43 am

grannyrose

P-ost A-naesthesia C-are U-nit

6:43 am

sprite

ah ok, thanks. Sounds very professional, all of it.

6:43 am

6:45 am

grannyrose

and my immediate superior has been on annual leave for the last 6 weeks, and the superior after her has been demoted, "because he can't maintain" the perameters set down by our owners. he was supposedto run 5 theatres on the staff for 3 theatres.

6:45 am

sprite

when I do the math, I think he is right

6:46 am

grannyrose

i am hoping he hasn't thrown the towel into the ring....just recognise he was given an impossible task.

6:47 am

sarah6girls

hi :)

6:47 am

lbdawger

i hope he can get the powers that be to see the impossible task he's been doing.

6:47 am

grannyrose

he is an amazing theatre nurse...i hope the heirarchy haven't destroyed his confidence.

6:48 am

grannyrose

6:48 am

looks like a simple sum to me. Let them set up a schedule to man all theaters with too few people. They will find out it cannot be done.

we always have 2 days of Easter celebration here, bichon. Usually egg hunts are for the first, but we opted for second this year.

7:01 am

I hate vowel words too

ohhhhhhhhhhh

9:31 am

look away, look away, look away, dixieland

9:31 am

welki

would have joined in sooner, but went to get a cup of coffee :)

9:32 am

jmcnrick

coffee is good. . .

9:32 am

jmcnrick

mine is cold for the 3rd time this morning so the hell with it. . .i am drinking cold coffee

9:32 am

welki

put in a couple of cubes and call it iced

9:33 am

jmcnrick

heh heh

9:33 am

welki

i drink cold coffee at work all day long - first sip is hot and then it's downhill from there

9:33 am

jmcnrick

i have done that before. . . still too chilly here though for me

9:34 am

welki

good thing i'm not a coffee afficionado - will drink it hot, cold, lukewarm, iced, from the dregs in the bottom of the pot - all good

9:34 am

BzznBea

Me too, welki.

9:35 am

jmcnrick

i seem to be losing all the snobbery i had when my staffperson brought in the swank fresh coffee beans from his brothers coffee roasting plant. . . thank goodness!

9:35 am

welki

all those years of waitressing when i was young - that late night diner coffee ruins you *lol*

9:36 am

jmcnrick

good times. . .

9:37 am

welki

same with tea and wine - no palate for those, either. gimme a mug of red rose or a glass of the house wine and i'm fine

9:37 am

welki

(red rose tea)

9:38 am

jmcnrick

i actually have some real preferences there. . . but for the wine it is not subtle. . .i just like dry wines. . .

9:38 am

jmcnrick

red rose tea is fine with me but i like earl grey. . . makes a fabulous iced tea

9:39 am

welki

i keep earl grey in the house, along with some herbals, but i always go back to the basics

9:39 am

BzznBea

I never thought of using earl grey iced.

9:39 am

BzznBea

I love it so will have to try it.

9:39 am

welki

i tried - the earl grey is even loose tea - but maybe iced will perk up my dulled senses :)

9:39 am

jmcnrick

only "herbal" i drink is ginger or ginger with lemon and half the time with green tea too

9:40 am

jmcnrick

but ginger tea has proven medicinal effects on your tummy

9:40 am

BzznBea

I like the ginger and lemon as well. Trader Joes also has a yummy rooibos chai that I really like.

9:41 am

jmcnrick

well true true chai makes a great winter tea to me. . . but i must say that the black pepper makes it run right through me. . .

9:41 am

welki

just read about a good ginger beer (alcoholic, not ginger beer soda) - crabbie's - $6 a bottle here, but supposedly excellent and gingery

9:42 am

BzznBea

Would make a fine moscow mule.

9:42 am

jmcnrick

i think that ginger ale would be relatively easy to make. . .

9:42 am

welki

ty helen...i'd been working on that for a while and finally monkeyed it.

11:56 am

crayola

I have only one more word...and I can't get it. Hint? te5/12

11:57 am

dan2bit

crayola - probably the babblet with the double vowel?

11:58 am

crayola

ty dan...is a babblet a funny word often found here?

11:59 am

MollyL

Yes, goofy word.

12:05 pm

crayola

Still can't get it. :| Another hint please for te5/12?

12:09 pm

Smdnjv

te5/12 doubles a vowel that is not usually doubled

12:09 pm

wvteach

begin at the T and locate letters clockwise in a circle

12:10 pm

crayola

Oh! Ty smdnj. I was trying the double e and not thinking beyond that. Geez. Thanks, wvteach

1:50 pm

smores

lol...thanks TK

1:50 pm

zoozzoom

Yes i have many thousands of photos of landscape , abstract etc..but i prefer insects..especially when you are doing very close work...you need to take about 25 shots and blend all the focus points together..called stacking.and you get an excellent photo of say a flys eye.

1:50 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Smores.

1:50 pm

smores

wow...zooz, interesting :)

1:51 pm

zoozzoom

smores

1:52 pm

smores

I've been experimenting in the kitchen again...lol

1:53 pm

TraderKate

do you do the stacking on a computer or do you have to takea bunch of negative and physically get them all lined up... no idea how that would be accomplished... something i'd like to see though.. on thursday we had quite a lively discussion about praying mantises

1:53 pm

MollyL

I did not hear an explosion.

1:53 pm

smores

yes...I recall that TK

1:53 pm

1:54 pm

smores

experimenting with a single serve, microwaveable custard...almost got it

1:56 pm

TraderKate

1:57 pm

smores

agrees with TK, sounds very interesting zooz :)

1:57 pm

zoozzoom

Yes will do that..at some point in the near future..once i have completely sorted myself out :-)

1:58 pm

hi neg....i am actually too tired to finish this tonight...

7:51 pm

penquis

sorry...neF....

7:52 pm

Nef

Aw, pen, It isn't necessary to finish all grids, You need rest more than finishing if you're that tired!

7:52 pm

Nef

NP :-)

7:52 pm

penquis

yes, you are right!

7:53 pm

Nef

take care of yourself; you are the only one who can!

7:54 pm

penquis

very true!

7:57 pm

MollyL

Nef, you need to do the same. : D

7:58 pm

Nef

oh, I am, Molly. I've had a very relaxing day! I told my DH right out this AM that this would be a lazy day and not to expect anything from me.

7:58 pm

Nef

I puttered around doing things that *I* wanted to do all day (none of which was housework)

7:59 pm

MollyL

Good for you!

8:00 pm

Nef

8:33 pm

Nef

why do you say that, TO?

8:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

because mine was not.

8:33 pm

Nef

H Pylori is the bacteria that they've found causes the most stomach ulcers

8:33 pm

hi all!

8:34 pm

did you have a stomach ulcer; or had your GERD caused an esphageal ulcer too?

8:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok, i am sorry , i have cooked my own goose.leaving

8:34 pm

Nef

thanks

8:35 pm

8:35 pm

Stomach trouble can also be caused by emotional problems and stress. Have you explored that avenue?

stidmama,I heard about your fire.I am so sorry about your pets! Also sorry I have not said anything before.

9:32 pm

stidmama

Astonished at how much I am spending to get "immediate needs" taken care of. Now that I am done with the long-term position I have very few "play" clothes because I had to get all new work clothes. Working on sifting through some items I found in the storage locker.

9:33 pm

Nef

(((stid)))

9:33 pm

stidmama

Hey tea -- how was today in kindergarten?

9:33 pm

Minveryork

Hi CrackersNTea!How are you doing? Welcome to grid

9:33 pm

CrackersNTea

fun but tiring

9:33 pm

stidmama

thanks, min. It's okay. It's a hard thing to say anything coherent about, really.

9:33 pm

CrackersNTea

the donuts were a hit!

9:34 pm

stidmama

donuts are ALWAYS a hit! (so are cookies and juice, even in middle school)

9:34 pm

CrackersNTea

especially when you "grow" them - the kids were hysterical!

9:35 pm

stidmama

;-)

9:35 pm

stidmama

you're so clever!

9:35 pm

Nef

wait-- you "grew them?

9:35 pm

Minveryork

So stidmama, you weren't here the other night when I was talking about my school closing next year.I will have to work in a new & different building next year.

9:36 pm

stidmama

oh, I am sorry your school is closing, but glad you will be in a new place! Same age range? Why is the school closing?

9:36 pm

CrackersNTea

we planted donut seeds (cheerios) in the morning and then at noon recess they "grew" sprouts (cilantro) and then at afternoon recess, they became mini donuts on sticks. April Fools!

9:37 pm

CrackersNTea

they so did not believe me at first, then with the green stuff they sort of did. Bu, when they came in from last recess and there were donuts on sticks in each cup, they were in awe - hysterical!

9:38 pm

Nef

LOL! What a neat trick!

9:39 pm

stidmama

it's a marvel of modern science!

9:39 pm

Minveryork

It has been a failing school for several years now and the state is taking it over.School is re-opening under a different name. 50 percent of the staff have to go and 50 percent can stay there. If U want to stay, you have to interview for a position. Not sure if I want to stay since they are extending the school day and the school year. The students will be in school thru July.

9:39 pm

CrackersNTea

they were so cute about it today

9:40 pm

stidmama

yuk, min. I hope things will work out for the staff as well as the students. It's awfully hard to transition like that.

9:40 pm

stidmama

okay, Tom has the last of my school/teaching materials in, I should go try to organize a little bit.

9:41 pm

crosshair

here they are experimenting with the idea of year round schoo, for seconday classes

9:41 pm

stidmama

hey cross

9:41 pm

stidmama

year-round school makes more sense than "extended school year" to me

9:42 pm

Nef

stid, is there anything we can do to help you?

9:42 pm

crosshair

howdy stidmama

9:42 pm

stidmama

right now nef we have what we need. In a month or two, as I wrap my head around what I have lost and what needs doing I will need a LOT of help.

9:43 pm

stidmama

Smilies on my fb are helpful... :-)

9:43 pm

crosshair

we are here for you stidmama in whatever way helps the most

9:44 pm

stidmama

We are OK, about as okay as people can be in a situation like this. My school rallied around me. Tom's work rallied around him. Our neighbors and local friends are rallying... and even people at long distances are pitching in and helping in so many ways. {{{{{curly hugs}}}}} it helps

9:44 pm

Nef

I wish I was closer; I'd help with sorting stuff out or cleaning or moving

9:45 pm

crosshair

speaking of which.do not mean to pry,but will you be picking up mail at the old address regularly?

9:46 pm

stidmama

yes, cross-- we didn't get mail there anyway. The box in town where we had important things sent is just a couple blocks away from the apartment

9:46 pm

stidmama

nothing to clean, Nef -- either servicemaster can salvage it, or not. Anything in the house was basically lost, except a few very surprising and lucky exceptions.

9:47 pm

Nef

lucky exceptions? How do you mean?

9:48 pm

stidmama

My dress shoes and my funny dinosaur-like shoes with spikes were in the original boxes underneath a lot of other things which kept the sooty (poisonous) air off them.

9:49 pm

crosshair

smoke damage is awful.i have been there.items which otherwise would of been fine are non-salavageable

9:49 pm

stidmama

A few quilts and things in space bags in my closet got a little fire smell but the plastic didn't melt on them so we might be able to save those with professional ozone treatments and such.

9:49 pm

Nef

Servicemaster was really good when Aunt Jean's place had the fire. Everything was so clean when we got it

9:50 pm

stidmama

And the wood pieces from Granny that didn't burn should be able to be refinished and a few charred parts replaced.

9:50 pm

stidmama

But most of the things even servicemaster can't clean. My gardening books, cook books, text books, books from the kids, clothes, memorabilia... you know. The works.

9:51 pm

stidmama

We have most of the negatives from film-photos in the storage locker, so can reprint if we want.

9:51 pm

Nef

that's good that you have some good stuff

9:51 pm

crosshair

clothes and books and furniture suffer the worst from smoke

9:51 pm

stidmama

I cannot go in the house very long or very often. Yesterday just being in the room when I opened one bag with something I want servicemaster to do "best effort" on set off a massive asthma attack.

9:52 pm

Nef

my DH is culling our cookbooks and other book shelves. Maybe we have some of the ones that you lost?

9:52 pm

stidmama

And of course most of my personal wealth was in my books and in the art that I have made.

9:52 pm

stidmama

But a local friend has lovingly offered to supply us with all the essentials for cooking -- rice cooker, cutting board, knives, crock pot, mixer... she's amazing!

9:53 pm

stidmama

Vegan cookbooks?

9:53 pm

crosshair

i am sorry stidmama.my books are indeed my wealth

9:53 pm

Nef

YES! I have at least 1 that I can send!

9:53 pm

stidmama

oh well, we have to skedaddle and get back to the house we are occupying while we wait for furniture in the apartment.

9:54 pm

stidmama

ooooh. (Also asian cookbooks, if you are getting rid of any...)

9:54 pm

crosshair

yes, stidmama.keep an eye on your mail:)

9:54 pm

stidmama

:-)

9:54 pm

stidmama

I will be mostly offline for the next couple days, but can now reliably check fb and email.

9:54 pm

crosshair

snail mail that is

9:54 pm

Nef

I also have a number of vegetarian and "almost" vegan cookbooks. I'll set them aside for you if you'd like, then send them when you're ready for them

9:55 pm

Nef

TONS of Asian cookbooks too.

9:55 pm

stidmama

That would be lovely, nef -- we can adapt a lot of recipes.

9:55 pm

stidmama

9:57 pm

And Grant's guitars will be okay, too -- just need treatment to get rid of the awful smell. And new cases. And then they should be fine.
