she is very hunched over, and when she ea4, the food doesn't go through her tummy and gut well. we have to remind her to try and sit up straight.
1:36 am
puglet
Hey Peach!
1:36 am
gapeach
Hey there puglet.
1:36 am
sprite
she is lucky to be with you, rose, and get such excellent care.
1:37 am

And Rose also.

sprite
*hugs peach too*
1:37 am
puglet
Sprite-How are things going for you?
1:38 am
grannyrose
thanx sprite, sometimes i really have to push myself. talk about the reluctant hero/ine. so don't praise me too much, 'cos i am not always willing.
1:38 am
grannyrose
hi peach
1:38 am
gapeach
Thanks, sprite, needed that.
1:38 am
sprite
I praise you anyway, rose. You may not be willing, but you are doing.
1:38 am
puglet
You having a bad time Peach?
1:39 am
sprite
am good, pug. Spent a very quiet weekend alone and loved it. Ready for another week of shocking developments ;)
1:39 am
sprite
had the feeling you did, peach. Can we help? By listening, if nothing else?
1:39 am
grannyrose
i feel such a fraud. sometimes i could just smack her, *wry grin*
1:40 am
puglet
Are the changes youre making getting a bit easier as the time passes
1:40 am
grannyrose
sprite, alone down ti4 can be so precious.glad it went well for you.
1:40 am
gapeach
Same old stuff, sprite, different day....LOL
1:40 am
sprite
rose, that makes you human, not a fraud. The fact that you keep on doing it makes you into that hero for me. And by all means, complain! Get it off your chest. It is NOT easy at all.
1:41 am
grannyrose
awww, *hugs sprite*
1:41 am
sprite
aw peach, dear one! *hugs*. That feeling huh... that sucks.
1:42 am
sprite
I hope so, pug. Too early to tell. I can say, very proudly I may add, that I was home alone and did not indulge in binge eating.
1:42 am
ursh
hey rose - can empathize - and it is MY mother I take care of - patience sometimes very stretched
1:42 am
puglet
No it isnt Rose!Taking care of someone is not all peaches and cream. There are times I want to snap at my sister but I know she cant help the things she does and I feel bad about myself when I feel that way towards her
1:42 am
gapeach
You help, just by being in the world at the same time.
1:43 am
puglet
thats wonderful Sprite!
1:43 am
sprite
am glad, peach. Wish we could do more though.
1:44 am
puglet
Im sorry Peach you are down but we can all pray for you
1:44 am
grannyrose
yay, sprite, no bingeing, now that is an amazing plus
1:44 am
sprite
ursh and pug... don't feel guilty for that. It is taxing, what you do, and we are only human, remember. No need for feeling bad.
1:44 am
sprite
thanks :) I am kinda proud I did so well.
1:44 am
gapeach
I know you are sending positive energy and it does so much good. And you know I am sending to you.
1:45 am

1:45 am

holding you in my thoughts and prayers, peach, every day :)
1:45 am

Oh, thanks pug.....it does wonders.
1:47 am

1:47 am

It was back in the early 19oo about a woman who cared for an older man.after his death he left her a large sum of money and she used it to travel by stagecoach. She turns into kind of a match maker along her travels
3:02 am
grannyrose

I kind of got burned out on love stories but I do like a well written one, and if its got a bit of humor with it so much the better
3:15 am
sprite
the Agatha Raisin series by Beaton are fun too, pug
3:16 am
puglet

3:17 am
puglet
I knew a lady(she has passed on) that tat. Never seen anyone do that since. I wish I could do that
3:19 am
sprite
omg... I need to learn that! That looks so fun!
3:20 am
puglet
are you good at stuff like that Sprite
3:22 am
puglet
I wish now that I had took the time to learn better needle skills from my mom and grandma but wasent interested then. I wanted to be outside with the horses. I did do knitting in 4-H one year.
3:22 am
sprite
yes, I love knitting and crocheting and all. My grandmother used to make lace... not by tatting though... I don't know the word in english. She did it on a board with little wooden pegs, and pins to keep it in place.
3:23 am
sprite
if we ever get to meet, pug, we can teach you some skills :)

3:24 am
grannyrose
hey up lyn
3:25 am
sprite
hi lyn :) xxx
Thanks, will remember. Am still sad she didn't give her tools to me. Gave it to the second wife of my father's who never uses them.
3:25 am
sprite

3:25 am
puglet
I remember most of the knitting but dont know how to read the books
3:25 am
grannyrose
we see both ways of making lace at our agricultural show he4 in melbourne.it's so amazing.
3:26 am
lynxxx
You should ask for them - for your daughter (just a little white lie)
3:26 am
puglet
not much lace in todays clothing but its still beautiful
3:27 am
puglet
I need to move close to you sprite-lol
3:27 am
sprite
I can't, we are not on speaking terms, alas. My father and her have done everything they could to make sure my sister and I didn't get a single memento of our grandparents.
3:28 am
sprite
you sure do, pug, lol
3:28 am
grannyrose
pugs, just wait a little longer. i had to laugh the other day. the latest fashion is leggings with sloppy to4 ...lol...i did that 25 years ago. nothing new under the sun, hun. lace will come back into fashion, you just watch.
3:29 am
puglet
I got a brand new sewing machion in the closet still in a unopen box. Been there for about 4 or 5 years
3:29 am
lynxxx
sounds like a good reason to start quilting Pug
3:29 am
puglet
I remember lace on collars
3:31 am
sprite
fashion repeats itself about every 20-25 years.
3:31 am
puglet
I go to some of these Amish sales and the quits that they make are to die for and with a price to put you under-lol
3:31 am
grannyrose
and lace on mittens, lace in dewdrops , and lace on kittens..these are a few of my favourite things.lol
3:31 am
sprite
roflol rose
3:31 am
puglet
giggle Rose
3:32 am
grannyrose
hmmm, lace on kittens?? but it rhymes.
3:32 am
sprite
the mother of a very close friend of mine makes quilts, by hand mostly. Very very beautiful. She made us one by machine that is great too.
3:32 am
puglet
well they could wear a lacy bonnet
3:32 am
sprite
lace on kittens = a mess of loose threads
3:33 am
puglet
ahh how nice Sprite--have you made on yourself
3:33 am
grannyrose
and you provide the lace..th5 you go, an outlet for you.
3:33 am
ChrissieDee
Cute idea pug
3:33 am
lynxxx
my mother got into quilt making when she retired - some done by hand but most done on machine. I still have quite a few
3:33 am
grannyrose
oh, you mean the kittens in lacy bonnets?
3:34 am
puglet
I found a baby bonnet for my pug-but shes not keen on wearing it though she looks cute in it
3:34 am
sprite
we use the one she made us a lot, as a blanket or throw, and she always says she loves the idea it gets used.
3:34 am
puglet
I bet they are beautiful Lynx
3:35 am
sprite
do you know of comfort quilts? They make them for people who are ill. Every part of the pattern is unique, except for one pair... and the sick person gets to find the pair.
3:35 am
grannyrose
hey, did i tell you?? my mother found my baby shoes when we were cleaning out the house. leather, with a button strap. they are about 2 inches long.
3:36 am
puglet
How nice Rose
3:36 am
lynxxx
There was a place down near me that used to bronze baby shoes - pity they have closed now
3:36 am
grannyrose
hard to believe these plates of me4 were ever that small, lol
3:36 am
puglet
Sprite thats interesting indeed. I read that in the olden days that quilts were made to tell a story
3:37 am
ChrissieDee
OK, gonna say something really soppy now... babble prayers and kind words are like a comfort quilt that wraps around the world, used by each of us as we need
3:37 am
puglet
couldnt you just see Rose's story quilt-lol
3:37 am
puglet
thats so sweet Dee and smart of you to come up with
3:38 am
grannyrose
awww, chrissie, that is so nice. and we all have benefited by the babble quilts
3:38 am
sprite
not soppy to me. I agree.
3:38 am
ChrissieDee
Would also like to see Ruby's story quilt :)
3:38 am
lynxxx
hi Chrissie - soppy but sweet
3:38 am
sprite
and awwww @ the baby shoes!
3:38 am
puglet
I think it would be nice to have a quilting time like they did back in the old days
3:38 am
grannyrose
and around we go again...pugs...
3:38 am
ChrissieDee
glad you all agree
3:39 am
sprite
*grins* and rose and I are the matching pair ;)
3:40 am
grannyrose
hey, wonder if we could start a world-wide quilt...imagine the story behind that one....stands in awe!!!
3:40 am
puglet
that would be great! Rose
3:41 am
sprite
oh my God... that would be so awesome.
3:41 am
puglet
I got my thimble ready--its a nice pretty one too
3:41 am
grannyrose
we could send a piece of material to a central person, to attach to the quilt, with a history behind the piece of the material
3:42 am
grannyrose
well, pugs, are you up to it? a postal addy would be essential. perhaps open a post office box, in lieu of your personal addy.
3:43 am
ChrissieDee
Lovely idea rose. There's probably a web based solution too.
3:43 am
grannyrose
chrissie, would you like to explore that avenue?
3:43 am
puglet
sure I am--I got a big mailbox
3:43 am
lynxxx
Sorry if I am repeating this story - when Mum retired they moved down to a largish island where they had a holiday home. Mums first achievement was to get together a lot of women on the Island to embroider and quilt a BiCentennial (or was it a Centennial?) quilt of local flora and fauna for the islands original school and now it sits in the Community Hall. It certainly cemented a lot of friendships and hundreds a local people attended her funeral in that Hall and 'under' the quilt. Very moving and special
3:44 am
ChrissieDee
Mental picture of pug buried under thousands of quilt squares, lol
3:44 am
puglet
my stitches may not be the neatest
3:44 am
ChrissieDee
Lovely story lynx
3:45 am
puglet
Nice story--do you have a picture if it lynx
3:45 am
grannyrose
hey, may not be squares...could be triangles...would need each sample to be large enough to cut to fit in..

grannyrose
lyn, it is so beautiful.
3:58 am
lynxxx
Yes - I saw it whilst being made and of course when finished and have many photos - and I organised a fairly life size photo to be mounted for Mum which is still in the family
3:59 am
puglet
what a nice peice of history to leave and pass on
4:01 am

It is lovely to know that the quilt holds a special place in the Community down there - and what Mum started will always be remembered as long as it is around - She would be very very happy with that

4:06 am

4:06 am
lynxxx
(if a tad too fixated on bacon)
4:06 am
sprite
very true, lyn, lol... both the computer stuff and the bacon :D
4:07 am
puglet
He is so much better then the book for dummies-lol
4:08 am
puglet
now dont put down bacon-thats my favorite! I could eat it everyday
4:08 am
sprite
hehehe crossy beats you easily, pug :)
4:09 am
puglet
I seen on tv where they were deep frying it and I so want to try that!
4:11 am
puglet
and I love cracklings! They closed our butcher several years ago and now I cant find them.Those in the store are yucky!
4:11 am
sprite
ask crossy for recipes, pug... he will set you on the right track :)
4:12 am
puglet
wow he knows the hows on them?
4:12 am
sprite
absolutely. He is THE expert.
4:13 am
grannyrose
hey, pugs, you can make your own...just trim the rind off the bacon, and fry gently in pan until they crackle.
4:13 am
puglet
will do for sure! thanks
4:13 am
puglet
you like them too Rose
4:13 am
puglet
are you a bacon fan too
4:14 am
grannyrose
was always the best part of sunday brekky he4.
4:14 am
grannyrose
pugs, what gives you that idea, lol???
4:15 am
puglet
if you know how to make cracklings thats a pretty good clue
4:15 am
puglet
I like crackling cornbread too
4:16 am
grannyrose
the best way to make crackling on a pork roast? criss-cross the rind into diamond shapes, with a very sharp knife. rub plenty of salt into said rind before baking.
4:17 am
puglet
I will try that--just regular salt or sea salt
4:17 am
grannyrose
bake in a very hot oven for 15 minutes, then lower temp. for remaining cooking ti4.
4:17 am
grannyrose
regular salt works well, pugs
4:18 am
puglet
Sprite I hope we are not making it hard on you talking about this
4:19 am
puglet
I bet you are a great cook Rose
4:19 am
sprite
oh no, absolutely not. I enjoy food talks.
4:19 am

sprite is strong, pugs. i know, i have talked to the Man upstairs.
4:19 am
puglet
we roasted a hog and 2 turkeys underground before and it was so good
4:20 am
sprite
aw rose... shucks!
4:21 am
puglet
I like turkey very well too but not as much as bacon
4:22 am
puglet
I think you and Sprite are strong women
4:22 am
sprite
I love bacon, but in moderation. My favorite is bacon in salads.

the humane soc. is letting anyone adopt a cat or dog that got some age due to them being depressed for fifteen dollars. This includes them being fixed and shots and micro chip. Thats really a good deal
4:29 am
sprite
wow that is a great idea
4:30 am
puglet
Iam losing my short term memory-lol dont remember her leaving
4:30 am
rbud

4:30 am

4:46 am
puglet
my goodness Rose how late do you guys eat supper
4:46 am
sprite
tell him to be careful, lol. My husband did the same a couple of years ago... dropped the salad... tried to catch it in a reflex... and the big knife sliced him open badly so we had to go to the ER.
4:46 am
grannyrose
it sounds like he is cutting up something more difficult than cheese, and salad vegetables
4:46 am
grannyrose
it's only 7:45 he4...is that late?
4:47 am
sprite
well, here in the netherlands around 18.00 is standard dinner time. But I like 20.00 just as fine.

I dont know those military hours Sprite
4:49 am
sprite
oh sweetie, sorry. 18.00 is 6 pm, 20.00 is 8 pm.
4:49 am
grannyrose

4:49 am
puglet
Isnt it darkish there Rose
4:50 am
sprite
yes, that would work fine for me too, rose. I ate well the last few evenings and not so early, and I didn't feel like having to binge later on.
4:50 am
grannyrose
absolutely, pugs. but who notices the darkness when babbling to friends.
4:50 am
sprite
babble shines like a beacon
4:51 am

5:25 am

yes, he is the best. He has camped out and canoed this weekend, rose, and it went very well. No pain. But he also said that he realises some things are just too taxing now for him... he is nearing 60 and that is not the same as 20 :)
5:27 am

he had a lovely time, zooz, and all went well, but he also discovered that some things are over the top for him now. I think that is good, to realise and adapt to our advancing age.

pre approved buyers are not guaranteed a mortgage. say they go out and buy furniture; if it is tight, they will be denied
8:18 am
72 Temple Owl
but i do have an interesting story, cannot share it here though
8:18 am
Dorens
so what's the point of pre approving them?
8:19 am
Dorens
ok, email me the interesting story. i'm leaving shortly tho
poo to annie

9:40 am

I found an st 7 and 8 related to endurance/strength, not a flower part.
9:41 am

9:41 am
Scrabbler
Crossy, I am reading about the Bruce Trail now and I see it begins in Queenston.
9:41 am

Oops, that was my bad. I put flower and I should have put endurance/strength. I looked at the wrong word when typing out the clues.
9:41 am

I have the st5/7/8 combo.
9:41 am

it is a very long trail indeed,scrabby
9:42 am

Oh no wait. My clue for the st 8 flower part is right, according to Dictionary.com.
9:42 am
phaeton

te 6/8 combo - to be unsteady.
9:43 am
crosshair
the bruce is 900k long:)
9:45 am
crosshair
and that leads into a good crossy tidbit of the day!! The Bruce Trail has also attracted other long distance events. In 1995 distance runner Scott Turner set a record for running the brucetrail end-to-end in 14 days, 5 hours and 58 minutes
9:45 am
Scrabbler
I got it now. Past tense for wobble.
9:46 am

I can't watch preseason. Regular season stresses me out enough. I'm glad the Skins are looking good though.

penquis
my pet peeve is spelling grid words with ** in chat....only draws attention to the word...seems like it's clueing without being asked for a clue....
8:47 pm
phandmd
I wouldn't be watching if it weren't for the husband.
8:49 pm
MollyL
You mean people who chat in grid words? Yeah, that seems unnecessary. As for cluing without being asked for a clue, people blurt out clues that are not asked for all the time. That I don't get.
8:49 pm
penquis
me either...
8:51 pm
phandmd
If no one needs any clues, I will go and fold the laundry I washed earlier today...
8:51 pm
phandmd
but I would be more than happy to stay and clue...
8:51 pm
MollyL
I don't need any clues, thanks Phan.
8:51 pm
uusue2
well, I need about 184 of them, phan, so I will just keep looking :-)
8:51 pm
mixi6
I just need 8
8:52 pm
phandmd
the usual 1st 3 ltrs + a metal and a vowel.
8:52 pm
MollyL
Oh...I just got Pen's joke. Using a grid word to respond to my statement. Cute.
8:52 pm
phandmd
haha, I hadn't caught that...
8:53 pm
penquis
see?....people would not normally notice....as it should be....
8:53 pm
penquis
em + most common vowel + the prong of a fork....
8:53 pm
phandmd
point excellently made.
8:53 pm
penquis
drop the last letter for the shorter word
8:58 pm
MollyL
The way it used to be, part of being clever with your words was to avoid using the grid words. Like saying "I don't get that as well".
8:58 pm
phandmd
That is what I try to do...
8:58 pm
Nef
Good Evening All. I opened this and started the grid sometime either last night or early this AM and now just realized houw big this grid is....
8:59 pm
penquis
i like that way of being clever, molly...
8:59 pm
MollyL
But then you can fall right into it when commonly used th words are in the grid.
8:59 pm
phandmd
well, I guess I better fold that laundry, it isn't going to fold itself...
9:00 pm
phandmd
like Nef just did...
9:00 pm
MollyL
Let me know if it does : D
9:00 pm
penquis
well if no one calls attention to words in chat, they often don't make much of an impression....
9:00 pm
phandmd
I sure wish it would.
9:01 pm
Nef
DUH. Off to PB for me (but I have choclits and ingredients for s'mores too.... ;-)
9:01 pm
MollyL

9:02 pm
phandmd

9:02 pm
phandmd
if there is, it might get crowded...
9:02 pm
penquis
there is now!
9:02 pm
penquis
nef....i don't think you should have to go to the PB...;o)
9:03 pm
Nef
phan, my laundry sat here for 1 1/2 days before I had to fold it myself (DH was "supposed" to do it; but he "forgot"
9:03 pm
phandmd
not nice!
9:04 pm
MollyL
"Forgetting" is not an option in my house.
9:04 pm
phandmd
alright, good night folks. Poof
