and that's bingo, right column!LOL
1:45 am
rbud
we moved in here 22 years ago, had a friend do the entire downstairs interior with an airless sprayer, all in off-white - several rooms are still that same color, haha - high time for a change.
1:45 am
m9f9l
Oh.. you have oatmeal ceilings??LOL
1:46 am
m9f9l
22 years doesn't seem as long as it used to.... I was thinking of the oatmeal ceilings (textured) of my youth, and then realized 22 years ago is after I had children.
1:47 am
rbud
as a matter of fact, the (old) living room has the popcorn ceiling, I hate it! can't get the spiderwebs off it. It's getting replaced with tongue and groove wood.
1:47 am
m9f9l
Oh that will be nice!
1:48 am
m9f9l
finally 1/2 way!
1:48 am
rbud
we did that in the old bedroom, which is now the new living room, it looks great.

I am waiting for DHL to pick up more documents -- going quckly crazy
2:13 am
rubyfoo
oh, sorry. I'll be quiet now
2:14 am
grannyrose
i would like everyone's opinion on something. at the moment i am on a return-to-work program, under workcover. i have been told that if i become ill/sick in anyway due to my injury, while i am at work, i am allowed to go home, on sick leave, and not workcover.
2:14 am
rubyfoo
but doesn't that ean you would lose the sick leave days that are coming to y ou anyway?
2:15 am
rubyfoo
when I was a teacher, we had 5 days of sick leave a year and if you didn't take them, they didn't accrue
2:15 am
grannyrose
i mean if i am in so much pain/discomfort i have to go home and take pain meds too strong to work with, i have to use my sick leave hours
2:16 am
grannyrose
exactly, ruby. it doesn't sit right with me.
2:16 am
gapeach
Somehow that doesn't seem fair. Who made these rules?
2:16 am
rubyfoo
are you in a union? It sounds like something for a union rep to sort out
2:17 am
grannyrose
peach, it has come from the DON and my manager. i am going to ask the return-to-work co-ordinator tomorrow.
2:18 am
grannyrose
ruby, work-cover and union are 2 different bodies. but if i have to do so, i will go to the union.
2:19 am
rubyfoo
I wasn\t keen o the teachers' union, but I ould see how it could help you in this very unfair situation.
2:20 am
rubyfoo
I did it again. Bad nel!

grannyrose

2:47 am
grannyrose
hey ruby like a duck, calm and serene above water, paddling like fury below?
2:47 am
rubyfoo
it's funny, people here keep saying that swimming is the best exercise but what if you can't swim....I'd sink like a stone in this frezing lake
2:48 am
Lizlin
Your friends will throw you a rope
2:48 am
grannyrose
ruby, my DH is the same, no matter what the temp. is, he sinks like a stone, he simply cannot float.
2:48 am
rubyfoo
one can hope.
2:49 am
rubyfoo
The only place I could ever swim (and not well at all) was in teh warm ocean at Miami Beach
2:49 am
grannyrose
oh, my dearest one, no need to hope, know that it is true.
2:49 am
grannyrose
lol, one day i am going to take himself to the dead sea.
2:50 am
rubyfoo
I guess it's a question of bone/fat ratio.... my father was the same but my mother could float wy on top of the water. Maybe she was closer to heaven.....
2:50 am
rubyfoo
that's where I would like to go
2:50 am
Lizlin
It's an awesome experience
2:50 am
grannyrose
good, will pick you up on the way through...lolol
2:51 am
rubyfoo
you were there, liz?
2:51 am
Lizlin
Want to go back with my hubby
2:51 am
grannyrose
liz, you have swum in the dead sea? what was it like?
2:51 am
Lizlin
Yes but a long time ago
2:51 am
rubyfoo
I'm sure it's still as salty lol
2:52 am
Lizlin
Can't swim - you just float hands and fett sticking up in the air.
2:52 am
grannyrose
my guess is nothing has changed, liz
2:52 am
Lizlin
The waters kind of oily
2:52 am
rubyfoo
I would love that
2:52 am
Lizlin
And it's warm!
2:53 am
grannyrose
hmmm....question....if the water is so salty, how long can you stay in it? i wouldn't want to be pickled...
2:54 am
rubyfoo
it's reputedly wonderful for eczema and psoriasis
2:54 am
rubyfoo
I'm already pickled, anyway
2:54 am
Lizlin
The mud baths there are good too.
2:54 am
grannyrose
rofl, ditto, ruby
2:55 am

i didn't mean that pickled, i meant as in pickled pork or corned beef....
2:55 am
grannyrose

thanks , what a weird word
3:45 am
grannyrose
okay, just checked the definition...si4 of the board where qu5 is situated...must be a chess term
3:46 am
Dianne
Rose, how are things going?
3:54 am
grannyrose
dianne, having difficulties, in that managers will not recognise workcover claim...they say if i have trouble getting through a shift, i must use sick leave, not workcover...:(
3:56 am
lynxxx
Hello everyone
3:56 am
Dianne
what exactly is "workcover"?
3:57 am
lynxxx
Hi Rose, that doesn't sound right - your case manager get involved surely?
3:58 am
lynxxx
Workcover - 'insurance' paid by a company to the government to cover workers who get injured on the job
3:58 am
Andree
its what we call workers compensation
3:59 am
Dianne
Well if you were hurt/injued on the job then it seems reasonable that the workcover would apply.
3:59 am
Andree
i paid out many thousands over the years for my drivers and never got to claim a single cent
4:05 am
grannyrose
dianne, management are now saying if we are unable to get through a whole shift, we are to go home, using our sick leave, not work=cover payments.
4:06 am
lynxxx
hi Rose - that must be upsetting for you. (hugs) And your WC case manager says?
4:07 am
grannyrose
which from my perspective is totally wrong. i wouldn't be going off sick/sore if the injury had not happened in the first place.
4:07 am
grannyrose
liz, will hopefully talk to her tomorrow, when i am supposed to work my next shift.
4:08 am
Dianne
Wel, let us know the outcome of your conversation. Good luck.
4:09 am
grannyrose
aww,thanx dianne. will definitely do so tomorrow night.

good morning, babble friends
4:12 am
Andree
i think it crazy that they expect you to work a full shift
4:13 am
grannyrose
{{{{sprite}}}} xoxoxox
4:13 am
sprite
hi Andree :)
Hiya rose *hugs*, what a nonse5 you have to battle with at work :(
4:14 am
grannyrose
andree, i'm supposed to work 10 hours, am only working 9 hours...lol
4:14 am
grannyrose
*sigh* yes i know....but i have God on my si4...;)
4:14 am
sprite
they are so full of it, rose. Get all the help you can get and make sure they don't bully you into doing more than you can, or in going home.
4:15 am
Andree
i think you should be home and not using up your sick leave either
4:16 am
grannyrose
not a lot management can do, considering my surgeon is the medical director of the facility. :)
4:16 am
sprite
yay for that
4:17 am
lynxxx
is it all the management or just your new supervisor?
4:17 am
grannyrose
and btw, i was told on tuesday, i wasn't allowed to wear dangly earrings. only studs and hoops...lol...some of my studs are pretty flash..
4:17 am
sprite
hi lyn :) xxx
4:18 am
grannyrose
liz, all management...but as i said i am going to check in with my return-to work officer. she is so good.
4:18 am
sprite
she better stand up for you. This sounds like bullying to me.
4:20 am
lynxxx
I think the new supervisor is trying to prove how 'capable' she is and the others are just too lazy to say anything
4:20 am
grannyrose
so...we are not allowed to wear our own hats, restricted on our earrings, and our shoes must not have any holes/gaps in them, like crocs, they must also have a heel and a strap to hold them in place...talk about 1984, georger orwell.
4:21 am
sprite
offer to show her your underwear, so she can decide whether that is up to her views?
4:21 am
lynxxx
Kevin is in! s**t!
4:21 am
grannyrose
can we see a trend here?
4:22 am
grannyrose
good grief, liz!!! really????
4:22 am
sprite
yeah, what lyn says... an overachiever.
4:23 am
grannyrose
wonder what she is going to say to one of our surgeons who does not wear knickers???
4:24 am
sprite
my bet? She won't, cause he/she is a surgeon.
4:24 am
lynxxx
Geez - Kevin or Tony - what a choice (not that personality has any bearing!)
4:24 am
grannyrose
yeah!!! and the surgeons rule because???
4:25 am
sprite
I am out of the loop... what's with the Kevin and the Tony thing?
4:25 am
Andree
i am wondering the same thing sprite
4:25 am
lynxxx
Government here Sprite...elections coming up and our current PM has just been voted out by her party
4:25 am
grannyrose
*giggle* lyn....sprite, 2 of our politicians...they are striving for prime ministership of our country...
4:26 am
sprite
often I wonder how it comes to be, that the future of our country will be decided by such little men...
4:27 am
grannyrose
okay, dinner ready...will bbl. {{hugs}} and {{kisses}} to all
4:27 am
sprite
enjoy, rose :)

Too many repeat letters are confusing my brain--I's, E's, N's...

6:00 am
Scrabbler
Wowee! My nephew has a Wrangler. I can't remember if it is a Sahara.
6:01 am
crosshair

6:01 am
crosshair

6:01 am
crosshair
or omfg even
6:02 am
Scrabbler
It's a tank.
6:02 am
crosshair
you get used to it very very fast.we took it all up blue mountain and down every goat path i could think of
6:03 am
Scrabbler
Yesterday I made my decision--time for a new car! I brought my car to the auto shop and, when I was told that the rear suspension needed to be dismantled and rebuilt, I knew it was time to ay goodbye to this car. :-(
6:03 am
crosshair
tip start feture,auto hill decent assist,ac,sirus sat radio,cruise control,heated seats,freedom to..etc,etc
6:04 am
crosshair
yes,you told me it is starting to become amoney pit
6:05 am
crosshair
you were debating a jeep as well i remember.IF you lean that way,you better move fast.the stable of 2013,s is amost sold out and they will be taking orders for the 2014 year..at 8k more
6:05 am
Scrabbler
168K miles, and I bought in 8 yrs 3 mo ago
6:06 am
crosshair
must be nice when an entire model year sells out:)
6:06 am
Scrabbler
I will get another SUbaru--probably another Forester.
6:06 am
crosshair
my current car turned 9 years this may just past
6:07 am
Scrabbler
I had hoped to pass 200K with my Subaru but our winters are brutal
6:07 am
MimiCat
Hi, crossy and Scrabbler! It's only 4 am here but am trying to get in a bit of grid play before starting work this morning...second day on new job.
6:08 am
Scrabbler
Hi Mimi. Getting better at interpreting the fast-talking doc?
6:08 am
crosshair
howdy,mimi:))
6:09 am
MimiCat
I haven't had her yet. But it's always difficult at the beginning learning a new system. By the end of yesterday I was getting the hang of it.
6:09 am
MimiCat
((crossy))
6:10 am
Scrabbler
I am looking at the Subaru Legacys--compact/non-SUV--but then I would need a new kayak roof rack.
6:10 am
crosshair
hehe,i will be able to toss my kayak right on top of the jeep:))
6:11 am
crosshair
out the door price,with all the add ons,taxes,extended warranty and a set of winter snows on rims is 29k
6:11 am
Scrabbler
The Legacys have naked roofs. Imperzas too, I think.
6:11 am
crosshair
for reference,my 2004 echo was 21 k out the door
6:11 am
Scrabbler
*Impreza
6:13 am
Scrabbler
I am hoping to spend less than 22K for a gently used SUbaru. I will shop Saturday and my local sister will come along to help. Usually my Dad did all of the research and went to all of the dealerships first, then told me my best options.
6:13 am
crosshair
i bought my echo at a bad time however,just before the big 3 went belly up.it was not a buyers market
6:13 am
crosshair
i want minty fresh this time.love that new car smell
6:14 am
Scrabbler
I'll see what my options are.
6:14 am
crosshair
so how used? a demo model or one 2 years old?
6:15 am
crosshair
i have to return my demo by 9 am this morn cause even that was sold
6:15 am

moonwoof
Honestly... I cant see the clock, atm, but Im still up and it prolly counts for someone ^^
6:17 am
MimiCat
Hey, crossy, we're expecting 117 degrees Saturday and Sunday...may break the record for the dates....UGH!!
6:17 am
crosshair
yup,it does moonwolf.for our west coasters,it is still 4 am;))
6:18 am
moonwoof
Youre in AZ, too, huh? lol

6:19 am
Scrabbler
Hi Moonwoof
6:19 am
crosshair
mimi,you guys should all just bail out and let the place go to toal desert
6:19 am
Scrabbler
Crossy, I would like a pre-owned vehicle with < 20-30K miles unless I can get a better deal on a new car.
6:19 am
Scrabbler
117 degrees!
6:20 am
crosshair
so,1-2 years old
6:20 am
Scrabbler
We have 3-4 days of thunderstorms ahead.
6:20 am
MimiCat
Am just hanging on until early next year. Then hoping to move either into the mountains or to northern California where I can become a nuisance to ruru.
6:21 am
Scrabbler
There is a 2012 Forester--RED!--with just under 8K miles, but manual transmission. How quickly can I learn to use that?
6:21 am
MimiCat
I was here the day it hit 122 degrees years ago...if you went outside it was actually difficult to breathe.
6:21 am
crosshair
ruru needs a mother figure to keep an eye on him anyways
6:21 am
crosshair
less that a month you will have it down pat scrabby
6:22 am
Scrabbler
Yeah, go live near Ruru!
6:22 am
MimiCat
All these years of being in Phoenix I've constantly missed California.
6:22 am
moonwoof
most people I know who've learned a stick only took a week or two to get comfortable with it
6:22 am
Scrabbler
Crossy, I want my new car on Saturday! My auto mechanic said that my rusted rear ball bearings are rather dangerous.
6:23 am
crosshair
it is not a bad thing scrabby
6:23 am
moonwoof
aside from the heat, Im actually really enjoying phoenix
6:23 am
Scrabbler
But I would need to drive home (90 minutes) from the dealership with manual transmission.
6:23 am
crosshair
they can be indeed.ever have an entire rear end go out of a car while driving it??? it is not pretty...
6:24 am
crosshair
good training for you scrabby
6:24 am
MimiCat
Moon, are you here visiting for a bit?
6:24 am
moonwoof
Nope! This is where Ive landed for a little while. Im still travelling a little bit for work a cpl of months a year, but we'll be in AJ for at least a cpl of yrs
6:26 am
MimiCat
Phoenix has a lot to offer in many ways. I've been here 30 years. What part of town are you living in? I'm at 7th St. and Bell Rd. in northern Phoenix.
6:26 am
moonwoof
Apache Junction
6:26 am
moonwoof
But close enuf to phoenix that I dont hate it and can get a phone signal lol
6:27 am
MimiCat
Have you gone on the Apache Trail yet?
6:27 am
moonwoof
Ive been working here a cpl of months a year for the last 18, or so, but we've moved here from MN for a bit
6:27 am
moonwoof
yup. and peralta and all thru the superstitions. I was a big hiker for a while
6:28 am
boatierra
I was wondering if AJ stood for Apache Junction. I live in Phoenix as well, all my life.
6:28 am
MimiCat
It's nice out there. My son and his family live in Mesa. When I first moved here I was located in Tempe. For 17 years lived next door to Cave Creek/Carefree.
6:29 am
Scrabbler
Three Phoenicians here at once!
6:29 am
moonwoof
Ive traveled most of my life, for the most part. So this is an excellent change
6:29 am
moonwoof
lol nice! Ms Scrabbler!
6:29 am
MimiCat
Yep, Scrabbler...three of us at the same time...what are the odds against that?
6:30 am
MimiCat
A bit of trivia....there are more boats per capita and more golf courses in Arizona than anywhere else in the U.S.
6:31 am
moonwoof
Weird huh?
6:31 am
boatierra
On my profile it says I'm from "tierra del calor" which means 'land of heat' in Spanish.
6:31 am
boatierra
And we have more pools than anywhere in the US.
6:31 am
MimiCat
People are always surprised about the boats but they forget we have lots of lakes, especially heading north.
6:32 am
Scrabbler
Boats in Phoenix? Aren't you in the desert?
6:32 am
moonwoof
Very much desert, yup
6:32 am
moonwoof
But with what mimi said, plus the snow birds, etc, the boats add up.
6:33 am
boatierra
List of lakes in AZ: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_l\nakes_in_Arizona
6:33 am
MimiCat
Can you believe it's going up to 117 this weekend? I just wish we'd see some real monsoon activity soon. I so much miss thunderstorms. Can't even remember the last time we had rain.
6:33 am
moonwoof
I even know people who own boats here, but only use them in other states.
6:33 am
Scrabbler
We had more rain in the first 2 wks of June than we usually get in an entire June.
6:33 am
moonwoof
the last time we had rain out here (tho thats a bit different than phoenix) was only a month or so ago
6:34 am
moonwoof
But it was early morning and brief. Definately not monsoony
6:34 am
boatierra
I'm looking forward to the monsoons as well. Make for gorgeous skies.
6:35 am
MimiCat
You always get more rain there than I do here, moon. Early next year I'm planning to move either to northern CA or up into the mountains on the Mogollon Rim....will see how bad real estate prices are in CA....already know it's much higher there.
6:36 am
moonwoof
It is, yea. But still. If its where you want... That may well be worth it. The mountains there are gorgeous too
6:36 am
Scrabbler
I finally passed halfway, just in time to get ready for work. Bye, kids. Enjoy the day.
6:36 am

Bye Scrabbler :)

I'm pleased that DOMA is unconstitutional and the CA Prop 8 case has been voided and remanded with insturtions that no standing. It's been a verklempt kind of morning.
9:35 am
lbdawger
ty, kje and moonwoof
9:35 am
kje
I wouldn't have either without the clue!
9:35 am
lbdawger
I was pleased to hear that too, DC
9:36 am
kje
yep, dc... not pleased with many of SCOTUS decsions this week, but glad to see DOMA overturned... wasn't sure it would happen!
9:36 am
Bethjt
I'm disappointed that it only applies to California!
9:36 am
moonwoof
agreed. About both DOMA and some of the other moronic choices, this week.
9:37 am
dcseain
With the current court, that's rather the best i was hoping for at this time. Lack of DOMA will make the state laws much more easily challengable.
9:37 am
kje
also cool what happened in Austin last night, though suspect that will not be the end of that bill
9:37 am
moonwoof
So *far* beth. It always has to start somewhere
9:37 am

Fully agreed, kje. I got little sleep due to following that last night.

in case anyone has not seen the news, both the US supreme court rulings on gay marriage were pretty definitive. DOMA is overturned, and the opponents of same-sex marriage do not have standing to appeal the overturn of the ban on prop 8 by the lower court.
9:58 am
lbdawger
tadone!! finito!! challenging grid for me today.
9:58 am
hurshy
kennedy wrote the decision re: DOMA.
9:58 am
mixi6
i'm back. had to go read about DOMA and Texas. NC has backed off on clean water requirements from Lake Joran, where my drinking water comes from. more stupidity.
9:58 am
hurshy
so sorry to hear that mixi!
10:00 am
mixi6
They are also setting rules for tracking which is still illegal. The coal companies own the southern bit of this county too.
10:00 am
mael
ding dong, the DOMA witch is dead!
10:00 am
hurshy
i have a friend in NC and from what i hear from him you guys have been having to deal with a lot of stupidity lately there. he's been arrested in the protests.
10:01 am
hurshy
(i bask in the vicarious glory of having a friend arrested for protesting)
10:07 am
hurshy
speaking of the wizard of oz, am i the only one who looks at the edward snowden thing and feels like dorothy watching toto leave the witch's castle, going, "he got away! he got away!" (ok yes, it may not be over yet)
10:07 am
mixi6
sea levels can only rise so much with out the approval of the legislature. after that what can you expect???
10:08 am
hurshy
*hugs mixi in sympathy*
10:08 am
Judi
So far, he's gotten away, Hurshy. I hope he makes it to Ecuador.
10:09 am
hurshy
i heard he was also thinking about iceland. if i had to be exiled, i think i could go for iceland. my grandparents visited there and said good things.
10:09 am
kje
def iceland over ecuador
10:09 am
Judi
Obviously, he doesn't want to go anywhere that has an extradition agreement with the U.S.
10:10 am
hurshy
right but i'm assuming if the news mentioned iceland as a possibility that means they don't
10:10 am
mixi6
I'm near chapel hill with a high percentage of PhD.'s, ...and some sanity.

Im with you, Hursh--but look at the court and the voting law! Roe vs Wade can go down next---
10:12 am
hurshy
the voting law *groan*
10:12 am
Judi
Cheaper cost of living in Ecuador. I'm assuming, as well as revoking his passport, his accounts have been frozen.
10:12 am
hurshy
did you see the daily show thing on banking in canada vs the US the other day? i said to my husband, you are so looking at jobs in canada.
10:13 am
kje

10:13 am
Judi
No, missed that report.
10:13 am

it's different here as i've seen people write en6/7 as officers in the army here but in the uk, it is a flag on a naval ship
5:01 pm
lilliann
so it does sometimes get confusing with the different meanings over the pond for you and us
5:03 pm

But don't you Brits and Canadians spell things the same way. (My husband used to say Canada was a beard of England)
5:04 pm

en6/7 is also what most ships flags are named too

Glad we are all here now.
5:22 pm
lilliann
it was a very tough time for all the countries involved and families of all servicemen/woman,doctors,nurses etc, they gave us the lives we have today and i know that i am very grateful for what they all sacrificed for us, it's a shame that a lot of the young peopl today don't feel that

5:48 pm
Anniebrook

5:48 pm
lilliann
that is from the centre n
5:49 pm
lilliann
the other one repeats itself,
5:49 pm
lilliann
it's from the first column n, you want
5:49 pm
uusue2
ah, got it, it's the ne6/21 past tense that comes from the center, thanks!
5:49 pm
lilliann
you can get the word we all have from all n's so it is confusing
5:50 pm
Anniebrook
the ne6 comes from theN below the central N
5:50 pm
uusue2
so finally I have nbs and nbt, this grid has too many n's, e's, and t's in it
5:50 pm
Anniebrook

7:17 pm
Lizlin

7:17 pm
lilliann
that is a silly word, as in he5 what we have instead of walls

7:18 pm
Lizlin
Duh! Of course!
7:18 pm
lilliann
i've never heard of it that way though

Lizlin
But a silly word, as you said!
7:19 pm
Lizlin
Must've tried the e ending on that a number of times!
7:19 pm
Lizlin
And then there were the s's and the t's!!!! Another 13 of them!
7:20 pm
lilliann
lol for the ratio, i never understood that either, in fact i didn't understand alot in maths. i could do it in my head and then one day i got all my answers wrong in primary and i got upset and never could do it after that. i could do it ion my head but not write all the workings out on paper
7:21 pm
lilliann

7:24 pm
Lizlin
That's great. Bet she's looking forward to the holidays though. Even though I know she likes school.
