1:59 am
rbud

1:59 am
puglet
giggles---no---hadent talked or seen you here for a few days and was wondering how you were doing and how the stress was
1:59 am
grannyrose
if i could only get the fibromyalgia under control...*sigh*the stiffness and pain are friving me nuts...short drive, i know. lol
1:59 am
puglet
well hi Rose2
2:00 am
grannyrose
hey rbud. how are the both of you?
2:00 am
puglet
Iam doing great right at this time
2:01 am
grannyrose
puglet, mother mac home, extremely institionalised...not helped by the fact DH has given her a wireless bell to push when she requires assistance. my own mother has admitted herself to full-time care in a nursing home only 15 minutes from me.
2:02 am
grannyrose
we( the sibs and i ) now have the task of cleaning out the old family home, in order to sell it.
2:03 am
rubyfoo
hello, Im back
2:03 am
rbud
oh, wow, mother mac still around and problematic? I feel for you. (((hugs)))
2:03 am

2:05 am
puglet
thats good isnt it> You got enough on your plate
2:06 am
rubyfoo
I'll send you a reporyt on the visit, Rose, if I never hear another word of "baby talk" I'll be v ery happy. All I can say is that it's Lucky they don't have children!
2:07 am
puglet
Ruby Iam sorry your visit didnt go so well
2:08 am
rubyfoo
I was really looking forward to it, too.
2:09 am
puglet
yes I knew you were
2:09 am
grannyrose
yes, puglet it is good. these guys need to understand just what is involved with taking on the full-time care of a geriatric. one of the bro's is in a snit because we have encouraged mum to go into full-time care. but i didn't see him standing there with the welcome mat out, to take her into his home.
2:10 am
rubyfoo
yoou are so right, Rose, let them do their share for a change, t sounds like you are always the one who does everything
2:10 am
puglet
unless you've done it you dont know what t takes to take on that job
2:10 am
grannyrose
awww, ruby, such a shame. probably will be a long whiles before you see him again. so sorry, hun. sons can be such a handful, even in the best of times.
2:11 am
rubyfoo
and my sweet lovely boy terrified him and would recoil every time John tried to touch him. Doggs sense so much
2:12 am
rubyfoo
sweetovely boy = Ruffino!
2:13 am
grannyrose
*giggle* took mother mac to see a specialist physician, a doctor i had worked with many ye4s ago. he knew my hubby(her son) was primary carer, but insisted that, at least on his records, i was the primary carer.
2:13 am
rubyfoo
control-freak son = John
2:13 am
puglet
Families can be so wonderful of a blessings and such a heartache too--lol
2:14 am
rubyfoo
only 14 words left, but all I see are vowels
2:14 am
grannyrose
ahhh, explains a lot, ruby. poor ruffino, he knows you are the alpha dog...and here was another, in the same pack...must have confused ruffie so much.
2:15 am
puglet
Iam down to 15 and I keep starring at this grid hoping a word will pop out--lol
2:17 am
rubyfoo
cn't find the lower y, the middle t and the i

*giggle* ruby
2:22 am
rubyfoo
I', not a yeller, but at one point I spoke VERY sharply to my son, really rare for me
2:22 am
grannyrose
puglet, you remember i pruned my cecil brunner, hard, a month or 2 back?
2:22 am
rubyfoo
I got fed up with his ridicule nd sarcasm
2:23 am
grannyrose
well, it's gone ballistic....again...i need to prune it again, before it goes dormant for the winter.
2:23 am
puglet
Ruby is that your only child
2:23 am
rubyfoo
when you prune, so you go all the way down, or leave a certain number of growth points
2:24 am
grannyrose
awww, ruby....was it all directed at you personally, or some at your life-style?
2:24 am
puglet
thats wonderful
2:24 am
rubyfoo
yes, puglet, he is, his father is, my husband is, my sister's husband is and her son is. And they are all somewhat like that
2:25 am
grannyrose
ruby, first pruning i leave lowest possible growth points, as the first pruning is at the end of summer.
2:25 am
rubyfoo
at how crazy I am about dog care, stuff like that. He's the "expert" but has never had a dog
2:26 am
rubyfoo
I'll havve to remember that in the fall, Rose, s my rose bushes are ll sort of cock-eyed
2:26 am
rubyfoo
(I keep missisng the elusive a with my pinkie)
2:27 am
rubyfoo
aaah, husband is back
2:27 am
puglet
do you have harsh winters there rose
2:28 am
grannyrose
lol, ruby, try taking a pinch of salt, hun. experts who are only text book perfect, do not count. sweetie, you are the expert on the care of your dogs...not him. try imagining you are inside a bubble made of the same perspex as riot shields....you can see his lips flapping, but you can't he4 the words. just grunt every 5 seconds or so.
2:28 am
puglet
is that good or bad Ruby--lal
2:29 am
puglet
thats funny rose--hehe
2:29 am
grannyrose
puglet, not harsh in the way you probably mean. we don't have snow in my part of australia, well not a lot anyway. but we do have 'cold snaps'. where the temperature drops rapidly.
2:29 am
puglet
Im gonna try that with hubby when he acts like that
2:30 am
grannyrose
yay, puglet. it's what i do whenever my mother is in my vicinity. life is so much easier.
2:33 am
puglet
our weather right now is on a yoyo fling---Up and down--be glad when it settles down into a steadier stream
2:36 am
puglet
I can not figure out that darn W--Ive look in the dict. and still cant find it--uuggg
2:37 am
grannyrose
yeah, puglet. same here. on his side of the bed, DH has 2 blankets and a quilt, on my side just the 2 blankets. DH in warm night attire, and me in shorties.

I was hoping that you were stl here.
5:59 am
rubyfoo
John and DIL are gone, another day of them would have done me in!
6:00 am
Anniebrook
ruby, Im back. In the kitchen getting coffee. How was the visit or do I get it from your chat? How long were they there?
6:03 am
rubyfoo
Fortunately, the visit was pretty short, only 4 days, but it wasnt fun. John has turned into his father which largely explains why I got my divorce.
6:03 am
rubyfoo
I was really looking forward to it and I am sad and relieved that it's over.
6:04 am
Anniebrook
It's hard to take. Were they able to help you in other ways.
6:04 am
rubyfoo
John helped a little with the computer, but not enough, an they both helped a little with kitchen chores.
6:05 am
Anniebrook
That is something. I am sure it was nice to see John, you get to see him so rarely. Are they supportive?
6:06 am
rubyfoo
The two of them are experts on absolutely everything e.g. health (she's an anaemic vegetarian and he is waaaay too fat)|
6:07 am
rubyfoo
and Burt fell yesterday, just adding to the woefullness of the (rainy) weekend
6:08 am
Anniebrook
Oh dear. Did he hurt himself? How was Burt with John and dil? I love experts, they know everything!
6:09 am
rubyfoo
I thin Burt is OK but his head hit the pavement. He was able to get u0, so I guess he's OK
6:10 am
Anniebrook
That's quite a fall. Did he complain of a headache? What is your dil's name?
6:10 am
rubyfoo
can you imagine, John was giving me dog advice, how they should be trained, etc. He's never owned a dog! I finally blew up at him very rare for me, and told him tht he didn't know sh** about dogs, especially chows
6:11 am
rubyfoo
John's wife is Denise and she's an uneducated expert as well. Her shtick is vitamine -- for everything and everybody
6:12 am
rubyfoo
she takes many vitamins but is always sick, so go figure.
6:12 am
Anniebrook
Good for you. There's a limit on being stepped upon. Sometimes it is better to let off steam. LOL, I also have a friend who is an expert on vitamins, takes the entire alphabet.
6:12 am
rubyfoo
like Denise, LOL
6:12 am
Anniebrook
Less vitamins, more food?
6:13 am
rubyfoo
I just read that calcium suppléments actually increase the risk of heart disease. Why not just drink some milk everyday?
6:13 am
rubyfoo
they're a couple made in heaven; I'm just gl** they didn't have kids!
6:14 am
Anniebrook
How are Ruffie and Raffie? Are they still best friends? I only take Vit. D and a regular vitamin tablet.
6:15 am
rubyfoo
I buy sterilized milk (just because it tastes better) but also because it has added D. The fresh milks here don't. And whenever there's any sun, I go outside and bake
6:16 am
rubyfoo
Rufie has more hot spots and Rafie looks like a monster with her wet chesdt, but if it ever gets warm enough I'll try to bathe her and get some kind of bib around her neck
6:16 am
Anniebrook
No sun here today. It's early..7:15am but it is drizzling. I thought you had trimmed Raffie..the doggie monster.
6:17 am
rubyfoo
they are adorable together, but whenever they would jump on each other, J and D would say "bad dog". How stupid is that? I f Rufe wnted to Hurt Raffie, she'd alredy be dead
6:17 am
Anniebrook
What do you mean..Rufie has "hot spots"?
6:17 am
rubyfoo
I trimmed her but not enough and she looks ridiculous. Hopefully she'll grow out of the problem
6:18 am
Anniebrook
Dogs do jump on each other. They are playing. It's a good thing J & D do not have dogs. They would be neurotic.
6:18 am
Marc Freeman
Could I get a clue for tu5/12 I have the one with two constanants followed by two vowels, please?
6:18 am
rubyfoo
Yes, he had them last spring (which was how vet and I found Ruby's hert problem) and he has them again. He bites himself to the point of bleeding and is on antibiotics (yet again) and steroids.
6:19 am
Anniebrook
marc, same 4 letters followed by sometimes vowel
6:19 am
Anniebrook
Poor Rufie.
6:20 am
rubyfoo
I think whatever dynamics exist between the dogs, it will all work out. Most of the time, Raffie just follows him around and it's adorable
6:20 am
Marc Freeman
Wouldn't that give the word too may points. I have the tu5/16 it is the other tu5/12 that I need
6:21 am
rubyfoo
and she has practically double in size in less than a month
6:21 am
rubyfoo
tu5/12 same first letters but ends with a vowel
6:21 am
Anniebrook
Marc, just went to the list. I do not have the first tu 5/12
6:22 am
Marc Freeman
hi ruby, sorry you had to go through such a hard time. I don't know the characters involved but I can tell you from my experience, know-it-alls are usually pretty insensitive and not pleasant to be around.
6:22 am
rubyfoo
and when Raffie would bite (puppy bites, no big del) they would both try to discipline her. All very annoying
6:23 am
zoozzoom
Marc it ends with a vowel..try starting from a different T.
6:23 am
zoozzoom
Hello, All :-)
6:23 am
Anniebrook
Hi zooz, havent seen you for a while
6:24 am
rubyfoo
Rufie is so sweet that when the puppy bites him, he just lets her, even when she grabs his ankles (or worse)
6:24 am
rubyfoo
{{zoozz}}
6:24 am
zoozzoom
I have been here..just stealth mode :-)
6:24 am
rubyfoo
an "worse" happens quite a lot! lol
6:25 am
Marc Freeman
Does it end with two vowels?
6:25 am
zoozzoom
Ends in third vowel.
6:25 am
zoozzoom
No just the one.
6:25 am
rubyfoo
no, marc, same first 4 letters and then a vowel on the end
6:26 am
Marc Freeman
Finally got it thanks
6:26 am

personally i would have loved standing up last but they called me and i took her hand and had here walk down with me since she didn't want to stand alone. . . the words were said about me and then i was to do the gauntlet of the profs who hugged everyone else and at the first one i said. . .no I am maintaining my no hugs rule (because two of them were new and i didn't know them at all--I hate hugging stangers)

taking the photos, editing them, writing the entries...it all takes a sort of mental energy that im not sure i have anymore! i used to have a lot of down-time at work, so i would do a lot of it here, but i dont have that anymore.
11:22 am

11:23 am
72 Temple Owl
and i can relate to the work being more busy thing
11:23 am
EvaNadine
well, thanks. :) it certainly was fun for a little while...but then i felt like i had to dress a certain way or buy things so things were always new. like i couldnt wear the same thing more than once. and i felt like i had to post just about every day.

Just looked at a video (video jug) from Gareth Jameson (sp?) that teaches how to use a Geordie accent. Wow. It has a lot in common with some Canadian speech, and some of our Northern U.S. accents too.

2:25 pm

her vision and my understanding are hundreds of miles apart; my suggestions are met with "I just don't see it!" Finally told her to just put the girl in the dress and figure it out. I needed to go home (8:30pm) and still had to do the grocery shopping I had attempted to do since this started last wednesday!
2:26 pm
stidmama
good for you -- sometimes it's hard to communicate a three-dimensional idea to a two-dimensional person.
2:26 pm

Mother and I used to have interesting conversations when we sewed together. I could "see" the rotations to make the fabric drape "just so" and she couldn't. We were both frustrated sometimes.
2:27 pm

she would be the 3D and I'm the 2! I could see what I wanted it to do but I just couldn't get it there

Straight from the internet...dictionary definitions of a Geordie typically refer to "a native or inhabitant of Newcastle upon Tyne, England, or its environsâ€, an area that encompasses North Tyneside, Newcastle, South Tyneside and Gateshead.
4:32 pm
MollyL
I'm not deeply interested in linguistics so I had to look it up.

Well, are all the taxes done now jmc? Can you breath?

wow this grid is a mix of the really simple and the really stupid. . .
10:12 pm
Jillyjill
And the really strange...
10:13 pm
jmcnrick
i was including the strange under the stupid category but am will for it to have a category of its own. . .

And we can always include the undefined category...

i am now getting calls from clients who forgot to give me information for their 2011 returns and the IRS has taken umbrage. . . and dealing with the returns the IRS has rejected. . .but things are less hectic

My son had an incident like that, he and his then estranged wife, now the ex, decided they should file together to get a better return. She failed to report income...my son got stuck with that.
10:17 pm
Jillyjill
No, jmc, just reliving that nightmare
10:17 pm
jmcnrick
yes. . .it is often an honest error but it sucks anyway
10:18 pm
Jillyjill
I did note that you did not put forgot in quotes
10:18 pm
jmcnrick
no, most of my clients intend to do their best with their returns. . .if i suspect otherwise they are no longer my clients. . .

WE got royally screwed this year. With hubby's settlement for disability, the SS adjustments gave him a $25,000 check. Between that and the cost of the tax preparer, $5000.

I agree, that and the rh4/5
10:21 pm

I agree jmc....what about 'fixed income' does not translate?

ty i hadn't thought of the rh4/5 yet. . .
10:22 pm
jmcnrick
did you not have medical expenses to deduct?
10:22 pm
Jillyjill
Not this year, sadly. But next year should be better. We are filling quarterly.
10:23 pm
jmcnrick
always a good plan. . .
10:23 pm
Jillyjill
Hmmm, did I actuallly say SADLY about no medical payments...shame on me...
10:24 pm

no no tell yourself it is a good thing that you did not have high medical payments even if you didn't get to reduce your taxes . . .
