1:21 am

one of the ugliest things in the world in the grid today :(
1:21 am
sprite

make that 2
1:22 am
jillibus

Flosey and partner were 3rd North-South, my partner and I were 3rd East-West :)
1:22 am
flosey

guess I haven't found them yet, Sprite
1:22 am
puglet

kids? lol
1:22 am
sprite

woot jilli, congrats to you both then
1:22 am

ra6/24 and ra4/5
1:23 am
jillibus

thx sprite, and good to see you here
1:23 am
sprite

glad to be here, jilli. It is a lovely start of my day, with you all.
1:24 am
joso

so jilly beat your hubby too flosey
1:26 am
flosey

in totals, I don't know joso - in Mitchell movement the n/s and e/w are scored separately
1:27 am
sprite

funny how bridge has its own language... I don't understand half of what you are saying, grin.
1:27 am
joso

ah, so jilly faced your hubby
1:27 am
flosey

with 7 prs N/S, 6 prs. E/W you'd have to average it out, N/S plays 4 more hands
1:27 am
puglet

Sprite, Iam starting book 3 now
1:28 am
flosey

yes, joso
1:28 am
sprite

wow pug, you are flying through them! Am so glad you enjoy them :)
1:30 am
jillibus

I faced both flosey and her hubby
1:30 am
puglet

yesterday, I was sitting outside at the table(trying) to read and Annapooh kept inchingin between me and the book until she covered it completely and I had to stop and give her some pets-lol
1:30 am
sprite

which one is book 3?
1:30 am
sprite

awwwww that is so sweet!
1:31 am
puglet

night embrace
1:31 am
puglet

by reading the back I thinks its going to be about Talon
1:32 am
sprite

ohhh that is Talon, and Sunshine. You will love them.
1:33 am
puglet

I cant wait until I get to the story on Ash
1:34 am
sprite

lollll you will have to wait for much longer! And once you get there, it is the best read of them all. Amazing book. Far above the normal fluff level. But heartbreaking too. Poor Ash.
1:34 am
joso

in compeditive bridge you play what is called duplicate bridge. basicly you play a certain number of hands, like 7 or 14 in jilly/flosey's case, and everyone else plays the exact same hands. then you compair how you did vs how everyone else did. but you have 2 cometitions, the partnership that plays e-w positions, and those that play n-s
1:34 am
puglet

but I got a ways to go cause there are several books before his story
1:34 am
sprite

ah, thanks joso, that makes sense. Quite different from full robbers then.
1:35 am
jillibus

the scoring is quite different from rubber bridge too, sprite. Have you heard of Chicago scoring?
1:36 am
sprite

no... I am a bridge virgin. All I know about the game is what I picked up from you guys.
1:37 am
joso

yes, the scoring system reflects rubber bridge but a bit different, however after you score there is the next step of compairing scores to the other players
1:38 am
jillibus

Well, never mind, sprite. It's a game of infinite variety, hence its fascination. It involves cooperation (with your partner) and competition (with your opponents) -- wonderful game.
1:39 am
sprite

if I ever get in quieter waters, jilli, I will set out to learn to play it. It sounds fascinating.
1:40 am
puglet

Hope nothing is wrong with Rose--she way late
1:40 am
joso

It's the cooperation with partner that i find most facinating, in no other game has trust of your partner ever been so important, and it is so easy to screw that up
1:41 am
sprite

pug, am reading The Guardian now, one of the newest books of the series.
1:41 am
jillibus

never too late to start, sprite. My partner has only been playing for about 5 years and is one of the better players in the club. She has a looseleaf book full of what she has learned. Of course, as a retired lawyer she's no slouch.
1:41 am
sprite

true, am missing her too. Hope she is ok and just doing good stuff.
1:41 am
puglet

written by kenyon
1:41 am
sprite

yes, same writer
1:42 am
sprite

would hate to make mistakes that would let my partner down, though. And I know I would make them. Am not as smart as that lawyer for sure.
1:42 am
puglet

does it go with the hunters or a whole different story line
1:43 am
flosey

you get over that quickly sprite - when you discover that they also make mistakes
1:43 am
sprite

it is one of the dreamhunter books, pug. You will get there in time. Same world. Different corner of the pantheon.
1:43 am
puglet

oh okay
1:44 am
sprite

as long as you can laugh about it together, it would be ok, I think. Well, I will certainly give it a go when I get time. It sounds like a rewarding game.
1:44 am
jillibus

Everybody makes mistakes in bridge, and partners must remember that and cast no stones.
1:44 am
puglet

well Sprite you are going to make mistakes on anything new, thats how you learn
1:44 am
sprite

hehehe wouldn't worry about it while still new. But once I should know better, that is where the problems start.
1:45 am
gapeach

Puglet, I believe Rose is online.....she will, hopefully, come to us.

Good morning, Glantarell.
1:46 am
joso

hi glant
1:46 am
jillibus

Sprite, even the super-experts make mistakes and acknowledge them. When hubby and I started playing duplicate, were were told nobody cares how badly you play as long as you're not slow.
1:46 am
sprite

ah, sounds good, jilli. Will definitely give it a go.
1:46 am
sprite

hiya Glant, good morning
1:47 am
flosey

brb, going to get ready for bed so I don't disturb hubby - he'll be asleep
1:47 am
puglet

Sprite on pogo they have bridge there that you can play against computer or players.That might be a place to get your feet wet,but I dont know how much it is like what Jilli and flosey plays
1:47 am
sprite

ok, glad you will be back, flosey
1:47 am

Hi giant
1:47 am
Glantarell

1:47 am

I think I would enjoy playing IRL, pug. There must be bridge workshops or schools.
1:48 am
Glantarell

Hi Pug, sprite, joso, peach, flosey - and all you lurkers
1:48 am

we will learn in time, pug, grab a plane and go visit jilli and flosey, and practise :)
1:49 am
Glantarell

I'd like to learn to play it too, must find out of there are bridge clubs in the area
1:50 am
jillibus

Glant, there are bridge clubs just about everywhere
1:50 am
rururocks

1:50 am

Ive never heard of any around me...Poker,yes but not bridge
1:50 am

sprite's hubby likes poker
1:52 am

my love isn't into games, usually. But it is worth a try.
1:52 am
sprite

lol ruru
1:52 am
joso

if you want to learn I am happy to teach the basics on line, but we must get a table to ourselves so we can pause and chat without annoying other people, so we would need 4
1:52 am
jillibus

pug, go to acbl.com and I bet you'll find some
1:52 am
rururocks

the kind without cards >:D
1:53 am
jillibus

behave yourself, ruru
1:53 am
sprite

ok joso, will keep that in mind! Thank you :)
1:53 am
flosey

you can do that in Yahoo bridge, joso, go into social lounge
1:53 am
sprite

ruru means he likes to poke 'r. Which is true.
1:53 am
jillibus

I know, sprite
1:54 am
puglet

Iam not saying this to poke at anyone but I might find some bridge players at our senior cit. home
1:54 am
sprite

*grin*
1:54 am

*blinks innocently*
1:54 am
flosey

I bet you would pugs
1:54 am
joso

That's what I was thinking flosey
1:54 am
flosey

could easily be arranged, joso
1:54 am
sprite

certainly, pug. Being senior is an honorary title, to me, not a poke ;)
1:55 am
Glantarell

there's a bridge club 10 miles away, but meetings are daytime, while I am working. It seems that there are 4 bridge teachers between me and the club. Wonder what that signifies? :-)
1:55 am
sprite

lol Glant! For one, that you can get what you want, if you should want it
1:55 am
jillibus

bridge needs more younger players.
1:55 am
Glantarell

wonder how much thye charge
1:56 am
jillibus

Probably not much, glant, and they can tell you where evening clubs are.
1:56 am
flosey

the bridge teachers might know of other groups that are not listed
1:56 am
rururocks

I would play more bridge.. but I can't take the tolls
1:57 am
sprite

you can be our bridge over troubled waters, ruru
1:57 am
Glantarell

I may get in touch with the nearest one - who also happens to live in a nice part of the coty
1:57 am
jillibus

:) glant
1:58 am
flosey

lol, or into troubled waters
1:58 am
sprite

jilli and flosey, you are an inspiration to us all. We might be able to play babble bridge in time.
1:58 am
Glantarell

thinking this might also solve the 'lack of social life since moving' problem
1:58 am
puglet

well it sounds like a game played world wide
1:58 am
sprite

oh absolutely, Glant. The best way to make new friends is by doing something you like in a club.
1:58 am
jillibus

oh, very much so, glant.
1:59 am
jillibus

It is indeed played world wide, pug.
2:00 am
joso

it is pug, kind of took the world by storm shortly after it was developed
2:00 am
Glantarell

I moved form a pretty rural area, where there were clubs of all kinds, and foolishly assumed that in suburban areas there would be more clubs - but it seems not - there are things in the city 15 miles away, but very little within a 10 mile circle of home - struggling to even find yoga
2:00 am
flosey

one of our dear friends was playing bridge just a day or so before she died at 101 or 2, can't remember exact age
2:00 am
Glantarell

and I'd rather not deal with city traffic after a day's work!
2:00 am
sprite

how frustrating, Glant :( And the worst thing is that probably there are some right in your street, but how to find out about them?
2:01 am
puglet

wow Flosey
2:01 am
sprite

oh, I remember, flosey. You told us about it then. Quite a great way to go!
2:01 am
flosey

really! wow Sprite, what a memory you have
2:01 am
jillibus

Before I evenmoved here from across the continent, I went online to the ACBL (American Contract Bridge League) website where allied clubs are listed, and found this one, so as soon as I could when I got here I called and arranged for a game. Never stopped.
2:02 am
puglet

How long have you been playing Jilli
2:02 am
flosey

we took a break from bridge when we moved here - had the house built to lock-up, so busy finishing it
2:03 am
sprite

it fascinated me, flosey. I love it so much when people stay active when growing older. You told us she was a very sharp player.
2:03 am
flosey

she was, and what a memory she had
2:04 am
puglet

yeah and the history they have lived through. I loved hearing their stories
2:04 am
sprite

well, this would not be the right time for me, because of the clinic and Tim and all. But once the water clears, I can join a club nearby that organises beginners courses.
2:05 am
jillibus

puglet, I first played bridge with my parents in about 1938, when bidding was very different. I wonder if joso knows about Ely Culbertson, the bridgbe god at that time.
2:05 am
sprite

me too, pug. Always have. I always say that when I grow up, I wanna be like jillibus.
2:06 am

Then I didn't play again for a long time -- started again in about 1944 when Goren was king, continued that way for many years until the early 1980s when we started playing duplicate and learned the current American Standard ways.

2:19 am

roflol.... ruru refers to a clue I gave earlier, rose. I had to remove a quarter of a male organ. That was hard on the men. Or rather... limpy.
2:20 am

no problem there, joso! You make perfect sense.
2:20 am

lolol, sprite, you didn't?

reminds me of that joke about the man and the elephant sitting in the sauna. And the elephant looks down at the man from the corner of its eye, and moves a little closer for a better look, and even closer for yet another look. The man gets irritated and asks what the heck the elephant wants.
And the elephant sigh full of compassion and says: "Do you really have to eat with THAT?"

thanks for making me laugh so much, guys. What a start of my day :)
2:58 am
puglet

here is a up date on gradyn--his dad took him to get his hunting li.--the class was 10 hours long and he passed with flying colors. (I wasent aware that kids had to do this,so I know nothing about it) but he was so proud!
2:59 am
grannyrose

just a trigger release?, joso?
2:59 am
grannyrose

ohhh, wtg gradyn!!
2:59 am
sprite

oh wow pug! What a lovely thing for him. Please tell him his babble sprite is wayyyy proud of him.
3:00 am
puglet

will do
3:00 am
sprite

since he talked to you about his problems, his life has become a lot more fun, pug. You be proud. You are exactly what he needs.
3:00 am
joso

well done gradyn
3:01 am
puglet

thanks guys---yeah he had to call me and tell me all about it
3:01 am
sprite

oh, btw, did I tell you guys that my abusive narcissistic father sent me an invitation for his 80th birthday, out of the blue?
3:01 am
grannyrose

pugs, does he fully understand the responsibilty of owning a hunting licence?
3:02 am
grannyrose

sprite, how do you feel about this?
3:02 am
puglet

well I hope so--the way I understood that was part of the testing. And his dad is really good on teaching him too
3:03 am
sprite

I had this extensive correspondence with him a few years ago, rose, which I had to cut off because even in letters he was still abusive and narcissistic.
3:03 am
puglet

I think hes a bit young but I stay out of it
3:03 am
puglet

are you going Sprite
3:03 am
sprite

haven't seen him in at least 20 years. And then, out of the blue, this invitation with the information that he wants to have a nice dinner with his family and friends.
3:04 am
joso

what are you feeling about it all sprite
3:05 am
puglet

Sprite maybe this is a message from above to face this and put closure to it for your own healing
3:05 am
joso

or have you had enough time to sort out all your feelings?
3:05 am
sprite

no way, pug, lol. Only a narcissist can do this in this way. Very unhealthy for me to go. But the good thing is, it didn't ruffle my feathers much. Am calm about it, accepting that he has narcissistic personality disorder and that I have to stay away from him for my own health.
3:05 am
grannyrose

sprite...am thinking on my feet...i think you need to avoid this at all costs. consider where YOU personally are at.
3:05 am
sprite

yeah, I think I have, joso. Even though many things from the past still trigger my ptsd. But that is separate from what I feel about him now.
3:06 am
puglet

then maybe a letter telling him just how you feel
3:06 am
sprite

am right with you, rose. I sent him a ca4 yesterday, to thank him for his invitation which I gracefully declined. And if he wanted reasons, I referred him to our extensive correspondence.
3:07 am
grannyrose

oh, read your response to pugs...atta girl...you haven't let me , or yourself, down
3:07 am
sprite

pug, I agree, gradyn seems kind of young for this. But his father should be the best judge of it and maybe it was just wat gradyn needed to feel proud and manly.
3:08 am
joso

Glad it hasn't disturbed you overmuch. I think I agree with rose, don't know him at all but can imagin caustic comments about what you choose to eat and not eat due to diabeates
3:08 am

must get to bed, not finding many words - but have enjoyed the chat, goodnight all

I dont really know what a narcissist is

3:09 am
sprite

a narcissist is someone who is fully focused on himself, pug. Often very charming and manipulative people, who live behind a mask. Everything has to be about them and they need to be in control of everything and everyone around them.
3:09 am
grannyrose

much as i disagree about children having shooting licences and access to guns...i step back in acquiescence to pug's judgement.
3:10 am
flosey

you are all so sweet, hugs
3:10 am
puglet

I walk carefully so as not to lose connection with Gradyn
3:10 am
sprite

actually, they are not self-loving. Deep down behind the mask is a very insecure and self-hating person. But the sad thing is, a true narcissist cannot reach out and get therapy, for instance, because that would ruin his/her mask.
3:11 am
grannyrose

night, flosey, hope you have a good rest.
3:11 am
flosey

thanks everyone
3:11 am
grannyrose

sprite, absolutely. my mother is a narcissist.
3:11 am
sprite

I would trust his father's judgment, rose and pug. I have the feeling his father is pretty careful with him.
3:12 am
sprite

*hugs flosey on her way out*
3:12 am
sprite

argh rose, yes. And you, as well, have the scars to prove it.
3:12 am
joso

I can see it for a countyboy, good that they have a class, presumably on gun safty
3:13 am
grannyrose

* small giggle * i know, hun.
3:13 am
puglet

He is. I havent seen a guy to be so fatherly.---Sprite was either of his parents like that
3:14 am
sprite

no, pug, they were not. His father was very very strict and his mother thought the sun rose and set on the boy. Bad combination.
3:14 am
puglet

Joso Iam not sure what all it was over but I do know saftey was a big part of it
3:14 am
sprite

*hugs rose* You are beautiful. Very very beautiful. And I love you to pieces.
3:15 am
sprite

I bet, safety must be the main dish in a hunting course. I think it is good for Gradyn. He needs some antidote to his mother's poison.
3:17 am
puglet

I hope she hasent scarred him towards women
3:18 am
sprite

she probably has, pug, but since he has more role models than just her, he will also pick up many good things about women. From you, for instance. You showed him he can reach out to a woman when in trouble and she will take him seriously and try to help him... and it worked out great to boot.
3:22 am
sprite

back in a few minutes
3:22 am
puglet

rose, how did you do at work today
3:22 am
puglet

okay sprite
3:23 am
grannyrose

perhaps, pugs, graydn will need to work through some issues. but having you as a pa4 of his history will help him so much to grow and become the man God wants him to be.
3:24 am
grannyrose

pugs, it was pretty quiet. started at 7am, with the ward meeting..
3:25 am
joso

7am, and you like this nursing gig
3:25 am

back in time to hear about rose's day
3:25 am
grannyrose

am working with the quality control person...
3:26 am
grannyrose

lol, joso...as i said to DH...caring about and for other people is my sole aim in life..
3:26 am
puglet

are they trying to push you towards that job
3:26 am
grannyrose

not at the moment, pugs
3:27 am
sprite

as long as you don't forget to care about you too, rose
3:28 am
joso

I'd have trouble caring about my own kids at 7am
3:28 am
grannyrose

sprite...one doesn't want to be a nurse from the age of 5 years, to back away at the age of 61....
3:28 am
sprite

one doesn't, rose, true. Told you you were beautiful.
3:28 am
grannyrose

my dear, joso...i care...no matter what or who or where
3:28 am
sprite

lol joso! I have almost always have jobs that started at 7 am. I like it.
3:31 am

3:33 am

3:33 am
sprite

very true, joso. And I for one am glad.
3:34 am
joso

well pug is in this time zone, but basicly doesn't bother with human frailties like sleep
3:34 am
puglet

Nights and 2nd shift are okay but it plays hetic with sleeping
3:35 am
joso

I did night shifts, the shifs were ok, but cut me off from my friends and social life
3:37 am
puglet

never really had a big socail life. My horses was mine mostly
3:38 am
joso

so back to rose, sorry to interupt, all these calls you got, news about surgery, DIL, MIL, exDIL, DH?
3:39 am
sprite

yes, I wanna know as well. They want to discharge your MIL. So what is next?
3:39 am
puglet

sprite, you have to spend all day at the clinic friday
3:39 am
grannyrose

to sum up my tomorrow...i have 3 loads of laundry already done, which need to be sorted, folded and ironed, 2 weeks of grocery shopping done and put away (about 2 hours) , a MIL to be brought home and settled into her rooms...and a prepaid 3 course indian dinner to use at some time...and a DH who hasn't been ion his bed for 10days...am i missing something? ...or should i be emigrating?
3:40 am
sprite

pug: I have to go to the clinic this thursday, to meet with the psychiatrist and get the paperwork done for the start on Monday.
On Friday I will be on the farm the whole day, to finalise my year of therapy there.
3:40 am
sprite

you should say no, rose. Loud and clearly.
3:41 am
puglet

is that all Rose? lol
3:41 am
grannyrose

joso, i am waiting til the end of the week re my own surgery, MIL may be home tomorrow,DH still coughing in the most gagging way...
3:42 am
puglet

so we wont see you for "2" days! :(
3:42 am
sprite

am sorry, pug. Real life can be such a drag :)
3:42 am
puglet

too much for you Rose'
3:42 am
sprite

rose, why the heck are you letting MIL come home already? You are about to get surgery and your Don isn't well yet.
3:42 am
joso

waiting to get news , or waiting to get it done?
3:42 am
grannyrose

pugs...am on the next plane over.. will email you with the details
3:43 am
puglet

and it sounds like Rose is going to be gone too :(
3:43 am
grannyrose

joso, waiting for news
3:43 am
sprite

there is always email, pug... *hugs*
3:44 am
puglet

ok Rose! if you like I can set you up at the campgrounds to enjoy mother nature and peace and quiet
3:44 am
grannyrose

sprite...the staff just don't seem to understand...
3:44 am
grannyrose

nah..pugs..want 3 meals laid on..lol
3:45 am
sprite

but can't you just tell SIL that she is still on the ball for now... that you cannot have MIL yet?
3:46 am
grannyrose

yes, sprite...it is DH's call...:(
3:46 am
sprite

argh, I forgot. Of course. And of course he believes he can manage. Rather that than having his mother and sister nagging at him.
3:48 am
grannyrose

himself is coughing up his lungs as we speak...and now he is using his asthma puffers...well, duh, dear. what do you NOT understand about you are still too sick to take care of your mother?
3:48 am
joso

nice to be needed, but sheesh rose
3:48 am
sprite

amen to that, rose.
3:48 am
puglet

poor Rose and Don--too much on your plate!
3:49 am
joso

hopefully fang will keep her phone on in case she is needed
3:49 am
puglet

that coughing could break a rib if hes not carefull
3:49 am
sprite

happened to me once, pug. Not a pleasure ride, that.
3:50 am
puglet

I passed out cold once from coughing
3:50 am
grannyrose

i think, seriously, that SIL will have to take care of her own mother. DH has just been able to use his inhaler for the first time, without coughing.
3:51 am
sprite

I am with you on this, rose. It is not a good idea to have your MIL home yet. It would give trouble in your own healing.
3:51 am
puglet

that or put her in a home for a short time until Don is well if she wont
3:51 am
grannyrose

lol, joso...ditto...will call her tomorrow.she simply has to step up to the mark.
3:51 am
joso

I cracked a couple of ribs once, didn't realize it untill a couple of years later
3:52 am
sprite

wow joso, didn't it hurt like hell?
3:52 am
sprite

very good, rose. Keep firm and say no.
3:52 am
grannyrose

sprite, we do have that option open to us, thank goodness!
3:52 am
grannyrose

sorry, pugs...
3:53 am
sprite

ah, awesome, rose. That would be helpful.
3:53 am
puglet

dont forget Rose, that after surgery you will have to be down too again
3:54 am
grannyrose

yeah, i know, pugs....we will just have to play it by ear...
3:54 am
puglet

Iam kind of worried for your Don on his heavy coughing
3:55 am
joso

not enough to remember, vaguly remember a sore side, can't remember what the cause was. At a phyical got a chest x-ray and the doc casually said, your chart diosen't mention your broken ribs, and i replied, never broke them.
3:55 am
grannyrose

we can get the mother into care from monday to friday...weekends she would have to go to SIL.
3:55 am
puglet

You are going to need him for yourself and is he going to be able to do that
3:55 am
sprite

there you are, that is a good resolution for now.
3:56 am
grannyrose

not as much as me, pugs. it is so frustrating, not being able to help him.
3:56 am
puglet

yes it is! it will give sil a break
3:56 am
sprite

wow joso. Really hurt me like hell when I had one cracked rib.
3:56 am
puglet

I know Rose---you must be worried yourself
3:57 am
joso

if you can't get MIL to stay with fang for a while, can she be pressed into helping with the setup to recieve MIL
3:57 am
puglet

know on wood, Ive never had a broken bone
3:57 am
sprite

who is fang?
3:57 am
joso

maybe my cracks were smaller
3:57 am
grannyrose

lol...he asked me last weekend...'why do you care?' and i told him it was my life's aim, since i was 5 years old...to take care of people.
3:58 am
puglet

knock
3:58 am
sprite

aw that is so beautiful, rose
3:58 am
grannyrose

sprite..fang is the nickname which DH gave to his step-sister.
3:58 am
joso

rose told me DH labled DIL fang
3:58 am
sprite

ah! Doesn't that say it all, lol.
3:59 am
puglet

I feel sorry for the elderly--I think they get a raw deal in their later life
3:59 am
sprite

our society doesn't honor age as it should
3:59 am
puglet

and alot of the time families dont either
4:01 am
sprite

yeah... but I would hate to have to care for my own parents... that would be kind of sick, after all they have done to ruin my life.
4:01 am
grannyrose

well as far as DH and i are concerned...his elderly mother will not put into residential care...we will take care of her.
4:02 am
joso

I tended to my dad for the last 3 years of his life, wouldn't trade that time for anything.
4:02 am
sprite

that makes you beautiful people, rose.
4:02 am
sprite

wow joso, that is beautiful as well
4:02 am
puglet

Sprite you have a good reason but not all does
4:03 am
puglet

Yeah for you Joso
4:04 am
puglet

a few times when someone was on their death bed, I would hold their hands so as they wouldnt be alone,when family should of been there.
4:05 am
grannyrose

joso,my hat is off to you, mate. takes a very special person to do that
4:05 am
sprite

I have done that with my grandmother and with a friend, pug. Very special.
4:05 am
joso

of course he self immlated rather than hang arround for a long time, who knows what I would feel if it went on for 10 or 20 years. And his mind was basicly fine, which makes a difference too.
4:06 am
puglet

Iam not afraid of death but that second when you transfer from life to death
4:06 am
sprite

not afraid to die. Just learning not to be afraid of living.
4:06 am
grannyrose

yeah, joso. that is one of the hardest things to accept. our parents do not remember us, or lose all memory of us as adults.
4:08 am
puglet

I have often wonder if the people that are just kepted alive(like those in comas or brain dead) if God has already took their souls
4:08 am
joso

he had minor short tem memory issues, nothing crippling, no wrestleing with someone who thinks you are a stranger

8:02 am
72 Temple Owl

i asked if that was the best he woulc do. unless the other guy lowballed it last year
8:02 am
Anniebrook

could you find another arborist and sort of shop around for a better price?
8:03 am
72 Temple Owl

well, i just found this one after a bad experience. this guy said he would trim so i could go two years or three
8:04 am
72 Temple Owl

the other guy came half an hours early the other AM and left in a huff when i was not ready. i took 5 minutes to get dressed and he was gone
8:04 am
Anniebrook

I would go with with him esp. if you had a prior bad experience with another.
8:04 am
72 Temple Owl

they both work for the same company.
8:05 am
72 Temple Owl

i could not believe it was the same person, he was so awful, so i asked the co to send a different one out.
8:06 am
72 Temple Owl

the price was great and the job was fine. it was just the way he acted the other day. and he could have been starting the esitmate while i dressed.
8:06 am
Anniebrook

ask them to call you before they start out
8:08 am
72 Temple Owl

he will call the day before he can schedule. i will call before but i think i will hear that is why it was so low, that the other arborist did not trim as extensively as he will.
8:09 am
72 Temple Owl

i can always delay until spring
8:09 am
Anniebrook

then delay if you are not sure about this

You guys need to get graham crackers and Hershey bars into the UK. I think it's a crime against nature that you don't have the makings for s'mores.

the sa 7/32 & sa 8/40: I sa* in a chair + my ***s is the colored part of my eye + consonant

Over 30 yrs ago my mother, stepfather and little sister surprised me with the Trail trip. I am afraid of heights, especially sheer drops, and had heard of this drive. Instead of telling me where we were going, they just got on the Trail and didn't say a word. At one point I said "Wow, the Apache Trail couldn't be any worse than this" and they all snickered which is when I knew where I was. I spent a lot of time on the floor of the car.

Jillyjill

It can be typed/staged by biopsy...doesn't sound good though...
5:03 pm
72 Temple Owl

i was afraid of that. exploiratory surgery was done, dr.s thought they may have seen gallstones or something else
5:03 pm
72 Temple Owl

i thought it was a very curable disease.
5:06 pm
Jillyjill

It depends on the type, there are, if I recall correctly 11 or 12 types. Treatment and outcomes vary greatly.
5:07 pm
72 Temple Owl

i had an uncvle with hodgkins . he did well but eventaully developed a different type of cancer years later.
5:07 pm
Jillyjill

Not all are Hodgkins...
5:07 pm
72 Temple Owl

5:07 pm
72 Temple Owl

is hodgkins more curable than non?

Mostly, but dependent on stage. The multiple sites are NOT good.

I sta4/4ed babbling at flip time.I sp5/12 a long time on this grid. It took me eo 4/4 to find 183 words. I ca 4/5 finish grid so here is a story with sc5/14 of clues for you to sc4/5.I was involved in jury selection that lasted over a sp 4/5 of 3 days. Someone was suing his boss because he thought that his boss was ra6/21 when he fired him. I tried to upset their apple ca4/5 by thinking of excuses to esc5/14 from jury duty.The first day,I told them that I was an ESOL teacher and it was very important for me to get back to teaching my ki 4/9. I also told them that no4/4 of my students were learning anything w/out me When they called me back the second day,I wore ripped pa5/12 and a stained shirt to look unprofessional. They still told me that I had to take pa4/5 in the third day of jury selection. Today, I told them I had a suspe 7/32 on my driver's license and I would not be able to get myself to court house.I also told them I refuse to take public tr 5/10portation for jury duty. They finally pa4/6oned me from jury duty today. They are insa 4/4 if they believed all my lies, but I don't care. I got out of it. Hubby wants computer. I will give it to him so we do not get into a sp 4/5 & te 7/28 arises. Although I om 4/5ted many words from this story, I hope it still helped you out. I am going to da4/5 on into the bedroom and watch the movie The Ca6/21ball Run starring Burt Reynolds.Goodbye for now

They must be uneventful, since you aren't answering.
8:18 pm

Hmm, maybe I've turned myself invisible?
8:18 pm

good.
8:18 pm

I'm sorry.. interupted with a phone call.

Good that I'm invisible? You haven't met IRL...

in real life

I'm doing okay..

oh.. I never get those.. too many options
8:20 pm
rururocks

how are you?
8:20 pm
SpellCheck

Excellent. Last time I was here you were talking about selling your property, and maybe having a buyer. How's that going?
8:21 pm
SpellCheck

I can't complain (no one wants to listen ;-) )
8:21 pm
rururocks

no word. yet..two people interested .. they didn't like that the property had a egress
8:22 pm
joso

didn't like having an egress, they want a man trap property?
8:22 pm
rururocks

everything in napa has an egress mostly
8:23 pm
SpellCheck

We have an easement (same thing?) for the power company. It's annoying once every year or three when they insist on trimming the trees over the power lines. But otherwise, a total nonevent.
8:23 pm
rururocks

:D spell
8:23 pm
rururocks

:D spell
8:25 pm
SpellCheck

I like the power line to be hidden. Otherwise I have to photoshop it out of my pix when I'm sending obnoxious email photos (sunsets and palm trees) to my friends back east.
8:26 pm

Anyway, I hope it all goes quickly and well for you.

What are you making Mrs Ru for dinner tonight?
8:27 pm

mm.. chicken and farro with cilantro and shallots and corn
8:27 pm
rururocks

with a mozzerella and basil/tomato salad with truffle oil and balsamic vinegar
8:28 pm
rururocks

I have some chicken breasts to use
8:28 pm
SpellCheck

Sounds rather yummy.
8:28 pm
rururocks

it's simple and filling
8:29 pm
SpellCheck

I haven't tried faro yet. I assume it's more like wheat berries than rice?
8:29 pm
rururocks

twenty five minutes to make .. max
8:29 pm
rururocks

it's really nice grains to work with.. earthy/nutty and goes great with squash and all kinds of things
8:30 pm
rururocks

I never considered an easement issue to be an issue to be honest
8:30 pm
SpellCheck

We're having friend for dinner on Sat, and I'm making a (vegan) spanakopita and salad for dinner. w chox mousse and berries for dessert. Not sure about appetizer. Hubby is lobbying for hummus and olives. What do you think?
8:30 pm
rururocks

It kind of struck me weird.
8:31 pm
SpellCheck

Perhaps you should ask the realtor to explain what a non event it is.
8:31 pm
rururocks

hmm veggie?
8:31 pm
rururocks

do you do cheese of any kind?
8:31 pm
rururocks

I just had some spanakopita in San Diego Monday
8:31 pm
SpellCheck

We have many "public" stairs on our hill. Thankfully we don't live on one, that would really be annoying
8:32 pm
SpellCheck

No, no cheese. No dairy, no meat of any kind, no fish (yes that needs to be spelled out), just honey, which some people argue is not vegan
8:33 pm
rururocks

wow.. I would die in your household :D
8:33 pm
SpellCheck

I'm sure yours was MUCH better than mine will be. But we like the recipe.
8:33 pm
SpellCheck

Well, you can always drink your agony away here.
8:33 pm
rururocks

*poor ruru.. wasted away to nothing.... *
8:34 pm
SpellCheck

It's actually not difficult, once you get past the concept of a "meat" as your main dish.
8:34 pm
SpellCheck

Believe me, we haven't wasted away!
8:34 pm
rururocks

hmm..
8:34 pm
SpellCheck

You just have to like cooking, or live in Portland!
8:34 pm

I love cooking.. but I'd never live in Portland
8:35 pm
SpellCheck

Suffer from SAD do you?
8:35 pm
rururocks

i just prefer nicer weather..
8:36 pm
MollyL

So fruit and vegetables, that's it?
8:36 pm
rururocks

I do like Oregon a lot though .. I lived there for 5 years
8:36 pm
SpellCheck

We're talking about moving to coastal WA next spring (which is probably more like 2015)
8:36 pm
SpellCheck

Yes Molly, but it really isn't a sacrifice.
8:36 pm
rururocks

hmm that could be nice
8:37 pm
rururocks

I am thinking of retiring up that way someday too
8:37 pm
rururocks

considering it actually
8:37 pm
SpellCheck

We can be neighbors. But I would be too intimidated to cook for you!
8:37 pm
rururocks

PULEEEASE
8:38 pm
rururocks

I eat almost anything .. graciously too
8:38 pm
SpellCheck

Why don't I believe the please....
8:38 pm
rururocks

+ there are other benefits
8:38 pm
MollyL

It would be a sacrifice for me. I don't like fruit and vegetables enough to live on them alone.
8:38 pm
rururocks

I bring really good wine
8:38 pm
SpellCheck

Perhaps, but you eat gourmet often... and blush to the other
8:38 pm
rururocks

:D
8:39 pm
joso

what type of wine, high pitched in the e register
8:39 pm
SpellCheck

Molly - getting used to no cheese is the hardest thing for most people. But if you don't like fruits and veggies, I don't think it would work for you! ;)
8:39 pm
rururocks

I do eat vegan a lot.. we eat a lot of salads.. I tend to make meals from whatever is in the fridge
8:39 pm
SpellCheck

LOL jos
8:40 pm
rururocks

or looks good at the store
8:41 pm
MollyL

It's not that I don't like fruit and vegetables, I just couldn't live on ONLY fruit and vegetables. Most people who go vegan are very happy with it.
8:41 pm
SpellCheck

Here's my favorite dessert recipe: One tub silken tofu, drained. Equivalent amount of good quality chox chips, melted. Tofu in food processor, till smooth, add chocolate (and amaretto). Done. YUMMY
