1:00 am

taking it quietly still. just the laundry done, dishes all done, bins emptied and wa4ed, mother's soup made, bed stripped and re-made with clean linen, showered, hair washed...yup...just a typical quiet saturday

1:01 am

puglet

well enjoy, we both know that you dont get many days like that-lol

1:01 am

grannyrose

and did you notice?? huh, huh?? i finished in under an hour, without using a list, just the enable dictionary list i sent you. you know? i think i might actually be getting the hang of this game..

1:02 am

grannyrose

it's only taken me 6 years..lolol

1:02 am

puglet

I had a wonderful day friday cleaning out kitchen cabnets(not)-------yes I did, you are on the ball today

1:04 am

grannyrose

i'm so chuffed. i have been watching others like dee, ruru, aloy, dart, oh, so many. they all finish way ahead of me, no list....

1:04 am

puglet

today sometime my friend and her hubby are coming and we are making the campground ready for winter

1:05 am

grannyrose

ugh, pugs, can think of better ways to spend a day. but i guess with the weather turning cooler, you feel more like moving around.

1:05 am

puglet

yeah I know! I feel like a 1st grader and them(and) are like seniors

1:06 am

puglet

I meant and you

1:07 am

grannyrose

meanwhile,i have been catching up on all that sleep. i am actually motivated to start spring cleaning. must try and get as much done as possible before the surgery. ( looming somewhere in my future)

1:07 am

puglet

they have a camper there and we got to drain everything,tarp stuff and those kind of goodies

1:07 am

grannyrose

batten down the hatches so to speak

1:08 am

puglet

I like spring cleaning---love it when I can open the windows and let fresh air in

1:08 am

puglet

yep, you got it

1:09 am

grannyrose

exactly, pugs. like the other friday, when i opened the back do4 and the house was filled with the perfume of my rose. * sigh*

1:10 am

puglet

it suppose to be in the 5o's and sunny so I hope its not real windy. Kind of hard trying to tarp down things with the wind trying to rip it out of your hands--lol

1:10 am

grannyrose

do you have heavy duty winters pugs? like multiple feet of snow?

1:10 am

puglet

sometimes Rose--we never know what we will get

1:11 am

grannyrose

why miz pugs, didn't know you could hang-glide? when did you take that up?

1:11 am

puglet

I rather have the snow then the ice

1:11 am

puglet

lol! thats about what it is too :)

1:11 am

grannyrose

hope you have good heating, sweetie. not liking the thought of my dear friend being cold.

1:12 am

puglet

well know on wood--we have a good furnace as long as it stays in working order

1:12 am

puglet

(knock)

1:13 am

grannyrose

is your furnace gas or wood?

1:13 am

grannyrose

and does that mean you have ducted heating?

1:14 am

puglet

its gas-----if something goes wrong, it usually happens at the worse of times--lol

1:14 am

puglet

yes mam

1:15 am

puglet

you probally never get ice, do you?

1:16 am

grannyrose

*sigh* i would give my left one for ducted heating. sometime we are going to go all ducted...heating, aircon and vacuum.

1:17 am

puglet

what is it you heat with? Wood?

1:17 am

grannyrose

lolol...pugs....every winter..our cars get so iced up we can't unlock the doors, never mind the windscreen...

1:17 am

puglet

I always thought assy was a hot country

1:18 am

puglet

I hate walking out on that stuff

1:18 am

grannyrose

we use gas...it's just a little heater in the lounge room, and at night DH turns the b.... thing down...mother mac has 2 electric thermostat controlled heaters in her rooms.

1:19 am

puglet

my worse fear in the winter is having our electric go out.Living out in the country is happens quiet a bit

1:21 am

grannyrose

2 years ago my last car was written off by the insurance company because of hail-stone damage. DH and i were out in it in his car..he wanted to park under a tree, for goodness sake...i said 'no, we have to get home to mother mac. she will be terrified'

1:21 am

puglet

But we cook with gas too and its a lifesavor during bad times.But it cant keep waterlines from freezing if the electric is out for very long

1:21 am

grannyrose

ditto here re power outages, which is why i want to go all gas in the kitchen.

1:22 am

puglet

did the hail break any windows in your home

1:22 am

puglet

brb coffee

1:22 am

grannyrose

we are registered with the power company, because of taking care of the MIL, and plus, i use a CPAP machine when i sleep.

1:23 am

rururocks

Doesn't Don have enough gss?

1:24 am

puglet

what does registering do for you?

1:25 am

rururocks

Gas that is

1:26 am

puglet

Ruru, you are such a stinker--lol

1:26 am

rururocks

Naw...just an old fart

1:28 am

puglet

I bet Rose is doing her jigsaws

1:28 am

grannyrose

pugs, it lets the power company know that we have a hi4 priority when it comes to restoring power supply

1:28 am

rururocks

Ignoring my jokes. .

1:29 am

grannyrose

pfft, pugs

1:30 am

puglet

Ru, do you get snow where you live

1:30 am

grannyrose

let mt tell you something, mr ruru. * arms akimbo here* if you are half as good as DH when you reach his age, you will be one heck of a stallion....LOLOL

1:30 am

Lizlin

What a great statement! Hi all :)

1:30 am

rururocks

No pugs. Not really

1:31 am

puglet

Hello Liz! how are you today

Great thanks. All's good here.

1:31 am

rururocks

What is his age?

1:32 am

puglet

Liz, did you paint your icon

1:33 am

Lizlin

No it's a copy of one of the original paintings by AA Milne, who wrote Winnie the Pooh.

1:33 am

grannyrose

liz, saw you on earlier today. we do have fireflies in ozland. they are on the great ocean road, victoria. and the 'glow worms' are found in old mines dotted around the country. if you google you will see where

1:33 am

Lizlin

Found it on the internet.

1:33 am

rururocks

??,?,,????????

1:33 am

rururocks

Granny?

1:34 am

grannyrose

ruru....older than you, but younger than me...he had to be younger, in order to keep up with me...lol

1:34 am

Lizlin

Yes, Rose, you're right. They're up here in Purlingbrook National Park - but I wouldn't be there at night. There are also glow worm caves near here.

1:34 am

puglet

Rose, I think Ru is waiting on a answer

1:34 am

Lizlin

I just haven't seen any.

1:35 am

grannyrose

and he got it......*giggle* i am one very lucky lady. i have a 3 in 1 man...husband, lover, friend

1:35 am

Lizlin

I have one of those too! We're very lucky.

1:35 am

rururocks

......ahem...how old?

1:36 am

grannyrose

very close to 60

1:36 am

rururocks

Uh rose. I am his age...:D

1:36 am

puglet

we use to have more fireflies than we do but they say because of all the lights that they are not breeding as much cause they need darkness

1:37 am

Lizlin

Nothing wrong with that age. That describes me too.

1:37 am

grannyrose

nah, not going to say what i was going to say...will save it for GT or an email...lolol

1:37 am

rururocks

Three in one? He sounds like a swiss army knife :D

1:38 am

grannyrose

and just as penetrating

1:38 am

Lizlin

And just as useful!

1:39 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah, that too, liz

1:39 am

Lizlin

Penetrating is very useful.

1:39 am

puglet

good one Liz

1:40 am

rururocks

I I will stay outta this one

1:40 am

puglet

kind of like the corkscrew blade? lol

1:40 am

Lizlin

Does that mean you're not useful?

1:41 am

Lizlin

First 60 words came quickly but no large ones!

1:43 am

grannyrose

liz, would you like a hand with the biggies?

1:43 am

rururocks

You have to penetrate further to get tge karger ones

1:43 am

Lizlin

Not just yet - stats would be helpful though.

1:44 am

rururocks

Larger

1:44 am

grannyrose

1:50 am

puglet

1:50 am

grannyrose

Lizlin

How about your kitchen? Did that ever get done or is it still in the garage?

1:50 am

Lizlin

1:50 am

grannyrose

1:50 am

Lizlin

grannyrose

grannyrose

2:27 am

puglet

2:28 am

Jayk

2:28 am

Hi Pugs

2:28 am

puglet

hows your neck,Crossy

2:29 am

crosshair

still very sore,puglet.my doctor called me 2 days after my CT scan and he has now ordered a MRI scan for me

2:29 am

crosshair

though i must wait a month for that

2:29 am

puglet

so that thing you got didnt help

2:30 am

crosshair

helped,but in a limited way.i still use it as perscribed,twice a day

2:30 am

puglet

well I hope you find a cure for it soon

2:31 am

sprite

good morning, babble friends :)

2:31 am

puglet

Hugs Sprite! How did it go

2:31 am

crosshair

at least my mri time is nice.it is on a sunday at 10:45 am.these machines never stop and run 24/7, so it is not all that odd to get a MRI time for 2 am or 3 am on a tuesday

2:31 am

crosshair

((sprite))

2:32 am

Jayk

good grief.

2:32 am

sprite

it went ok.

2:33 am

grannyrose

LOLOL....DH just found out that we are at the end of our roll of foil..." we haven't enough to cover the pasta" . on checking, he found the new roll already bought and in the cupboard..." bite me" i said. when will he learn...i am so on top of the demands of this household....

2:33 am

sprite

will keep my fingers crossed for you, crossy.

2:33 am

puglet

rose and I were wondering about it

2:33 am

sprite

roflol... so you bit him?

2:33 am

crosshair

you showed him granny!

2:33 am

grannyrose

oh, oh, sprite...*gentle hugs and kisses rained down all over*

2:34 am

crosshair

i told my wife to 'bite me" once, she just said she does not like old,tough,fatty meat

2:34 am

sprite

pug, it really went ok. The therapists had made an agenda, but I took hold of the proceedings and demanded they first listened to how very very angry I was at Tim.

2:34 am

sprite

aw crossy...

2:35 am

crosshair

ahh first meeting?

2:35 am

sprite

yeah first meeting with the whole family. We have had individual sessions already.

2:35 am

crosshair

we did the same, sprite.we had to vent first

2:35 am

puglet

good Sprite! Rose was afraid you might be behind bars--lol

2:35 am

grannyrose

yay, sprite. you rock, girl

2:36 am

sprite

lolol well I was close, grin. So I vented.

2:36 am

crosshair

vent that spleen!

2:36 am

grannyrose

ugh, crossie...hope your MRI results are all good, mate

2:37 am

sprite

Tim and Caya had a talk about their issues together, with all 4 of us watching... that went well too. And we have formulated the goals we all had in common. Tim has promised to start doing his tasks again, to keep his hands to himself and to stop harassing me.

2:37 am

puglet

I bet with your neck hurting so much it makes it hard on you at school, crossy

2:37 am

sprite

me too, crossy. Pain in the neck is such a pain in the butt... no it isn't... but you know what I mean.

2:38 am

crosshair

i hope so as well granny,but there is sometyhing nasty going on in there,i am sure.the mrs is a full foot shortet than is, so that when we have hugs,it is not uncomon for her to rest her chin on my shoulder just in the hollow by my neck.she did that yesterday,just resting her chin lightly in that area and i felt the most ungodly pain. and it lasted for several minutes

2:38 am

grannyrose

yay....sprite, i do so hope tim keeps to his word...tell him, he back steps, i will be all over him like poison ivy...

2:38 am

puglet

for your sake Sprite I hope he does as he promises

2:38 am

sprite

oh dear. Not good, crossy.

2:39 am

crosshair

i hope you and time and the rest of your family can with the professionals work things out spritre

2:39 am

crosshair

tim

2:39 am

grannyrose

oh, crossie. dearest man, my email addy in profile. please keep in touch

2:39 am

sprite

yeah, here goes hoping. Caya told him that if he ever lifts a finger to hurt her again, she is gone and it will be over between them. And I thought: no way, if that happens, he is out of the home permanently.

2:40 am

sprite

we will do all we can to make that happen, crossy. I am much more worried about you.

2:40 am

crosshair

caya? his gf?

2:40 am

puglet

thats sure dont sound good Crossy, will keep you in my prayers

2:40 am

sprite

caya is his sister.

2:40 am

grannyrose

good on you, sprite. and is tim aware how close he is to being clobbered majorly?

2:40 am

crosshair

ahh ok.got it

2:40 am

crosshair

how old is tim again?

2:40 am

sprite

yes, he is. I got the impression it kinda scared him.

2:41 am

sprite

17, crossy, and caya is 15

2:41 am

grannyrose

he's a teen...and that says it all

2:41 am

puglet

did it help you Sprite to be able to vent

2:41 am

crosshair

and she is a mature 15 i take it

2:41 am

sprite

it did, pug, to vent and be heard. And taken seriously.

2:42 am

sprite

yes crossy, she is. A little too much even, sometimes. Taking on more than she should.

2:42 am

puglet

was your hubby able to vent too

2:42 am

crosshair

i thought so.last thing you want is for her to feel so uncomfortable in the house that she leaves at that age

2:42 am

grannyrose

good, sprite....tim needs to know just how much you and rob are holding back.

2:43 am

sprite

yes he was. And he cried. That kind of shocked Tim too.

2:43 am

sprite

crossy, exactly. And if it is a choice between agressor and victim, I know who is moving out pronto.

2:43 am

crosshair

i am sure.the pressure must be horrible for both you and hubby

2:43 am

grannyrose

good...tim needs to know his dad is only human....

2:44 am

sprite

funny thing is, in their personal goals they both expressed the wi4 to be closer to one another and do more things together. That gave me hope.

2:44 am

grannyrose

and tim needs to know his mum is super-human...she is gonna do all she can to protect her offspring.

2:45 am

puglet

seeing how you all felt about his shortcoming may open his eyes

2:45 am

crosshair

yes.always find common ground first

2:46 am

sprite

very much so, rose. And yes, pug. Though the therapists did a very good job of not letting Tim become the scapegoat. Even though he is the one acting out, blaming only him will not help.

2:46 am

crosshair

no indeed,find common ground rising up from the swamp,then build bridges

2:47 am

grannyrose

good therapists...sprite , it would appear you have definitely taken the correct road.

2:47 am

sprite

lol crossy, aptly put!

2:47 am

crosshair

as i told you,sprite,we did this exact same thing when our boy was 12-16 and it saved our family

2:48 am

sprite

I hope and think so, rose. We will see. One thing that came up was that everybody in our family feels the strain of having an invalid in the house they are taking care of... me. So we will have to figure out ways to relieve them more without overtaxing me.

2:48 am

sprite

am very very happy to know that, crossy. It gives me hope.

2:48 am

crosshair

now,hte "boy" is 19 and if he has an issue we just show him where all exit doors are;))

2:49 am

sprite

*giggles* Good job, crossy.

2:50 am

crosshair

i am sorry,sprite.i did not know.how are your disabilities limiting you? are you wheelchair bound or using walkers etc?

2:51 am

sprite

can't walk far, can't stand for more than a few minutes, need to lie down after a few hours. Plus ptsd.

2:51 am

crosshair

ahh ok,got ya.

2:51 am

grannyrose

*sigh* sprite...i guess that had to come up...your weakness, i mean. but did anyone focus on your strengths?

2:52 am

sprite

nope. I guess that will have to wait till another time. I recognize that it is taxing for my caretakers... and that in a family they all are caretakers. But so am I.

2:53 am

crosshair

if i was intruding too far into personal info there,please forgive.mrs says i have about as much teach as a baseball bat sometimes

2:53 am

crosshair

tact

2:54 am

sprite

lol crossy, never. You are free to ask and I appreciate your caring!

2:54 am

grannyrose

i have to share something with you all. you know how youngest son and wife are living infamily home? and they are thinking of buying it? the garden had at least 10 established camellias, 6 fully grown rhododendrums, and a mature jacaranda tree.

2:54 am

crosshair

i am a taurus however,so that explains much:)

2:55 am

sprite

oh dear... I feel a but coming on...

2:55 am

crosshair

sounds like a pretty garden

2:55 am

sprite

*loves crossy*

2:55 am

grannyrose

weel darling son attacked them all.....with a chain saw....they are no longer....

2:55 am

crosshair

!!!!!

2:56 am

Lizlin

Silly man!

2:56 am

sprite

what????? to bring down the value of the property???

2:56 am

grannyrose

he is only 'renting' at the moment....my heart is breaking...

2:56 am

crosshair

what was his reasoning in destroying your garden?

2:56 am

Lizlin

Extra hugs to you rose

2:57 am

sprite

well as someone renting the property, he had no right doing that. Have you considered contacting the police?

2:57 am

sprite

hi Liz *hugs*

2:57 am

grannyrose

crossie, he sees it as his garden...and sprite, he is living in the family home...

2:57 am

Lizlin

Hi sprite. Sorry, was here before but forgot I hadn't seen everyone. Hi to Crossy too.

2:58 am

crosshair

howdy,liz

2:58 am

sprite

so? It is not his property, rose. I would certainly press charges. He devaluated your property very much with his demolition act.

2:59 am

sprite

np Liz, a good hug goes both ways ;)

2:59 am

Lizlin

Surely then in a FAMILY home, the family should be consulted before major changes to house or garden.

2:59 am

crosshair

indeed,rose.it is your home.even though he is your son,no changes should happen in your home without your permission

2:59 am

grannyrose

not sure where to go with this latest development. one of the major selling points of the property was the garden. i8f he and his wife dont buy it next year, i will have his guts for garters.

3:00 am

crosshair

once he signs the papers,he can do what he likes,but till then...no

3:00 am

Lizlin

Take a very deep breath!

3:00 am

sprite

have you contacted DIL? I seriously think you should. See what can be done. If nothing else, this should force him to buy it stat.

3:00 am

grannyrose

exactly, crossie

3:00 am

crosshair

yes,work on this through DIL

3:01 am

grannyrose

yeah, liz..i know...and count to 10

3:01 am

crosshair

if she is receptive

3:01 am

grannyrose

oh, crossie, don't start me...

3:01 am

Lizlin

Then head for the jugular! But not if he'll need sweet talking to be sure he buys!

3:01 am

crosshair

uh oh..:((

3:01 am

sprite

your darling ex DIL I mean

3:02 am

crosshair

then i can see some heads are going to roll here

3:03 am

sprite

am so so sorry, rose. Just what you don't need at the moment. The boy should have his arse kicked from here to jericho and back.

3:03 am

grannyrose

sprite, i know who you meant...and wouldn't you know it? this dearest son has turned his back on ex-DIL...why, oh, why, can they not see?

3:03 am

crosshair

well,then lay it on the line.he is not to so much as change a lightbulb from here on out untill he signs on the dottend line

3:03 am

grannyrose

sprite, send tim over....maybe they will sort each other out....lolol

3:04 am

crosshair

do not get crossy mad,i will hop a plane and come over there lol

3:04 am

Lizlin

Rose obviously knows her son best but if antagonising him means he won't buy .....

3:04 am

sprite

she is too good for him, grin. And hun, make sure you get DIL's help over this... and don't be afraid to stand up for your rights as owner. Your son just lowered the chances of you selling the house a lot.

3:04 am

crosshair

agreed,liz,but he cannot destroy the home either

3:05 am

Lizlin

Wrong foot him! Tell him how much better it looks now it's cleared.

3:05 am

sprite

lol rose... great idea. We will put the bad guys together and let them sort eachother out.

3:05 am

grannyrose

LOLOL...crossy, wade in, mate...feel free!!!

3:05 am

Lizlin

I know, Crossy.

3:06 am

crosshair

well,4 am here.will try for a little more sleep i think

3:07 am

crosshair

take care my friends

3:07 am

grannyrose

i was really counting on the pair of them buying the house...but i didn't make a big thing of it...

3:07 am

Lizlin

Sleep well Crossy :)

3:07 am

sprite

I hope you will be able to sleep, crossy. Sweet dreams *hugs*

3:07 am

puglet

night Crossy, hugs

3:07 am

grannyrose

*gently cradles crossy, and sings a lullaby* sweet sleep, mate.

3:07 am

sprite

evict them and sell it on the market.

3:08 am

Lizlin

Did he say anything about why he'd done it or you not spoken?

3:08 am

sprite

awww pug, you have an autumn pug in your icon. How sweet!

3:08 am

grannyrose

not yet, liz...but am definitely planning on asking him...

3:08 am

puglet

thanks Sprite

3:08 am

Lizlin

Yes I meant to say I like your new icon, pugs.

3:09 am

puglet

thank you too Liz

3:09 am

Lizlin

I guess some people don't like plants.

3:09 am

Lizlin

Loads of people in the Uk concrete over the front garden for extra parking space.

3:10 am

Lizlin

Not something I'd do.

3:10 am

grannyrose

they were 'old-fashioned' plants. maybe they are planning on planting a 'drought-resistant' garden.

3:10 am

puglet

I wouldnt like no trees or flowers nor green grass

3:11 am

Lizlin

Charitable thought.

3:11 am

sprite

and people underestimate how much cooler things are with a garden around the house

3:11 am

sprite

rose, hun... I hope you are not trying to be understanding... they did wrong and should be made to feel it.

3:12 am

puglet

not counting the oxigen they put out for us to breath

3:12 am

Lizlin

We love having a garden and overlooking a park.

3:12 am

grannyrose

sprite, i tried to point out to him...the natural air-con of the trees and shrubs.

3:12 am

Lizlin

I hope Rose is right about replanting.

3:12 am

sprite

they will feel it when it gets hot, rose

3:12 am

grannyrose

as i said, if he and wife buy, no probs.

3:12 am

puglet

not much you can do now that they are gone but he could replace them

3:13 am

Lizlin

do they have a lease or is it all done as family?

3:13 am

sprite

let have your ex DIL look into the options, rose. Maybe this can be used to force their hand into buying.

3:13 am

puglet

but it is very sad and I feel for you Rose

3:14 am

ursh

rose did you say large jacaranda was chopped down?

3:14 am

Lizlin

Thinking about protecting the rest of the property.

3:14 am

sprite

hiya ursh :)

3:14 am

puglet

morning ursh

3:15 am

ursh

hi all

3:15 am

grannyrose

pugs, these were established trees and bushes. all he had to do was provide them with water in the hotter months.

3:15 am

Lizlin

Hi ursh :)

3:15 am

grannyrose

ugh, yes urshy

3:15 am

grannyrose

and hello, hun

3:16 am

ursh

we have lots of jacarandas in SA and they are regarded as alien trees and always talk of chopping them down because they suck up a lot of water and dont belong in a "dry" country - maybe that was what he was thinking ?

3:16 am

grannyrose

liz, done as family. but my brother, who is a chartered accountant is looking into it all for me.

3:17 am

grannyrose

urshy, the property is in the mountain ranges...lots of water to sustain it.

3:17 am

Lizlin

Good. The rest of it must be protected against further damage in case of your son not buying.

3:18 am

sprite

please keep us informed, rose. Am mad on behalf of you. Very mad.

3:18 am

grannyrose

as i am for you, dear sprite

3:19 am

ursh

Our capital city has streets lined with jacarandas - absolutely stunning when they are in flower

3:19 am

sprite

:) We mama lions are pretty intense when it comes to hurting our loved ones, aren't we ;)

3:19 am

Lizlin

Love jacaranda. In flower now here.

3:20 am

grannyrose

okay, the pasta is out of the oven. the salad is ready...will bbl. and urshy, if you google Grafton jacaranda festival, you will see why it is such an important tree down here in victoria.

3:21 am

ursh

Here too Liz - so lovely and every year there is a hoohah about ground water

3:21 am

sprite

Thanks also to Molly for posting Dee's list! Saves me putting in the gaps between the different letter combos!

5:14 am

grannyrose

yeah...but still have 10kg ( 24lbs) to go. :-(

5:15 am

Lizlin

Easy peasy Rose - you'll do it!

5:15 am

grannyrose

it's amazing how fast the weight goes on when you aren't active.

5:16 am

Lizlin

Your fingers are very active! But I know what you mean!

5:16 am

A*n*i*t*a

i lost 2.5 stones over a period of 6 months when i was diagnosed as diabetic! stress i think just fell offf me

5:18 am

Lizlin

Husband, lover, friend- as you said. So I can guess!

5:18 am

grannyrose

anita, the next op. will be a ' revision total knee replacement '. fingers crossed, the current prosthesis can remain untouched. skin pain i can handle...bone pain is another issue.

5:18 am

Lizlin

31 left here.

5:20 am

grannyrose

can i help liz?

5:20 am

Lizlin

Yes but not sure how! Possibly with some o words - have oo 4 and os 5.

5:21 am

grannyrose

od5, 4, 5...also another oo

5:21 am

Lizlin

Lacking a's still too - only have one out of 4 in 2nd column, top a!

5:22 am

Lizlin

Funny how vowels at the beginning of words seem to cause lots of people some difficulty!

5:22 am

Lizlin

US spellings of course!

5:23 am

Lizlin

Suddenly remembered the other oo word - seen it once or twice before.

5:23 am

Lizlin

Thanks.

5:26 am

grannyrose

ag4, 5, 6, ...aw5

5:27 am

Lizlin

So, I have the aw word.

5:28 am

Lizlin

Also have the seaweed cooking stuff.

5:28 am

grannyrose

ag's are ag4, 5, 4, 4, 5, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6

5:28 am

Lizlin

But perhaps it's a different ag 4?

5:29 am

Lizlin

Think I have the first five of those ag words! OMG! Still another 5 to find!

5:29 am

grannyrose

ag + short laugh, and it's plural

5:29 am

Lizlin

Have that!

5:29 am

grannyrose

ag4, ag + 2 vowles

5:30 am

Lizlin

ty =- now have that. Knew there was a double vowel combo but kept trying the wrong one!

5:30 am

grannyrose

ag + m***, fog

5:31 am

Lizlin

ty again - made sense when I tried pronouncing it properly!

5:32 am

grannyrose

ag + ring + decay

5:32 am

Lizlin

ty - should've known that one - Israeli currency!

5:33 am

Lizlin

Your clues are wonderful!

5:34 am

Lizlin

24 left now - have to go. Enjoy the rest of your evening and thanks again :)

7:45 am

hurshy

Too American!

7:46 am

lynxxx

Lizlin

Who's hank aaron anyway?

7:46 am

hurshy

oh, well you didn't specify what kind of stats we could ask for

7:46 am

hurshy

baseball player, Runs Batted In

7:47 am

hurshy

i actually hate baseball, but, it just popped in my head

7:47 am

Lizlin

It's tough enough trying to learn all the Aussie teams! Aussie rules and rugby!

7:48 am

lynxxx

Is a run the whole square - or just from one base(?) to another

7:48 am

Lizlin

Never really understood baseball - bit like rounders i think!

7:48 am

lynxxx

isn't rugby a British thing too?

7:48 am

hurshy

the whole square. a run batted in means, if you hit the ball, and someone scores a run as a result.

7:48 am

rbud

hi all! can I get a nudge for the O in the second row for nbt?

7:49 am

Lizlin

Yes so I'm OK on the game but sorting out which teams are rugby and which aussie rules, when I hear the news - very confusing!

7:49 am

lynxxx

7:51 am

Lizlin

Sleep well Lyn - I'll be off too even though it's an hour earlier!

7:51 am

Lizlin

Funny hurshy!

7:52 am

MollyL

Hursh, I think you really are a displaced Brit. What with the coffee hate and baseball hate. : D

7:52 am

hurshy

maybe i can give it to alanis morrisette for her "isn't it ironic, vol 2" song

7:52 am

hurshy

and, i don't like american literature, i like british.

7:53 am

Lizlin

Hm! Hi Molly - I'm an Aus / Brit - love coffee and always have!

7:53 am

hurshy

and then, i grew up loving star trek and then i discovered doctor who and i like it EVEN MORE!

7:53 am

Lizlin

Love Doctor Who and also enjoy star trek but love doctor who much more. Roll on Nov 23!

7:54 am

Lizlin

Grew up with Doctor Who - remember watching very first episode with my parents!

7:55 am

MollyL

*Wonders if Hursh is a descendant of some redcoat family who didn't leave after The Revolution*

7:55 am

hurshy

there is a petition to light up the empire state building in NYC blue like the tardis for nov 23

7:55 am

Lizlin

That'd be so cool!

7:55 am

hurshy

actually i am a descendant of roger williams, and also of some revolutionary war fighter on the american side, and also of john and priscilla alden

7:56 am

hurshy

i could be in the DAR, blech

7:56 am

Lizlin

And I really am off to bed now - enjoy your days :)

7:57 am

hurshy

not but what i don't appreciate some american things. just, you know, not all.

7:59 am

hurshy

like the idea of settling on canada as a happy compromise

7:59 am

hurshy

still loyal to the crown, but not so far from family

8:03 am

hurshy

if anyone wants to sign that doctor who empire state building petition, it's here: http://tinyurl.com/q7kjua8

8:03 am

MollyL

Yes, it must not be fun to live in New England with all those pesky American patriot types.

8:04 am

hurshy

no, new england is good, because we're not so crazy conservative.

8:06 am

hurshy

what i really like is the idea of living in a country where, say, one doesn't have to imagine a crazy gunman coming in and shooting one could happen at any moment, and there is nothing anyone can do to change the fact that you have to live like that because half the country WANTS to live like that

8:06 am

Wolvie

hahahaha- just signing on- good tidings hursh- i will go sign that petition. I agree with you wholeheartedly btw. on all. :D

8:07 am

Anniebrook

I see the Empire State Building from my apartment

8:08 am

hurshy

and wouldn't you like to see it tardis blue on nov 23? :) :) :)

8:08 am

MollyL

Annie, it sounds like you have a beautiful view

8:08 am

Anniebrook

The blue is a patriot blue...I have no idea what tardis blue is

8:09 am

hurshy

the point is, if you sign the petition, you can make geek fans of a television show happy. now isn't that a noble cause?

8:10 am

Anniebrook

A very noble cause and I will sign.

8:10 am

hurshy

we have a golden retriever and a border collie, haz. the collie is a rescue, but we went to a breeder for the retriever. she picked out a puppy for us because he was more 'independent' and 'aloof' than his littermates (we work and spend hours away from home) - hahaha, joke's on us, this guy is anything BUT independent and aloof, he's like hairy velcro :)

9:39 am

Jillyjill

Well, THAT paints a picture welki!! I am chuckling away!!

9:39 am

Haz1558

You didn't test him for left paw/right paw? There's a whole theory going round that depending on which paw the pup favours for starting to walk indicates what his/her personality is going to be like.

9:40 am

Haz1558

Hairy velcro is so descriptive.

9:40 am

welki

haz, he's a golden retriever - pretty certain they're all fairly similar in personality - big goofuses

9:40 am

Haz1558

We have a golden retriever living next door. Very amiable!

9:41 am

Jillyjill

Okay, nbt/nbs, halfway and met the bar set previiously to have left column greyed out. Now off to roust hubby up and enjoy this final warm fall day.

9:41 am

welki

(that said, i have known some goldens who don't fit the goofus description, but most of the ones i've met do)

we're getting snow tomorrow, jilly - you, too?

good morning everyone ! Snow here tomorrow too!

Good morning, diane.

Hi welki, Jilly, Haz, Bichon and everyone else :-)

9:43 am

diane :) we were going to take my daughter and grandkids to the royal tyrrell tomorrow - that may not work if the weather turns

9:43 am

bichon

hi diane, Haz

9:44 am

dianedecoder

I still have some geraniums to pull... could not bear to do it while they were still blooming :-(

9:45 am

dianedecoder

I guess it depends on the roads.... I hope it works out. I've never been. I think most of the display is inside, isn't it ?

9:45 am

Haz1558

I know, you feel if they have the strength to bloom you shouldn't deprive them of life.

9:46 am

bichon

My Spirea is still blooming

9:47 am

welki

yes, there's a lot to see inside, but part of the fun is scrambling out in the park to see if you can find a specimen - we have a 4 yr old who tells me she wants to be a paleontologist

9:47 am

Haz1558

I'm impressed that a 4 year-old can say the word!

9:48 am

dianedecoder

cute :-) How's that little baby?..... probably growing too fast, as they all seem to do these days !

9:51 am

welki

haz, she amazes me - yesterday, she told me all about diabetes.

9:51 am

welki

and the baby, diane, is 8 months old, a cutie - very happy little girl :)

9:51 am

Haz1558

Goodness me, you've got a prodigy on your hands.

9:52 am

dianedecoder

Our two year old great granddaughter was over last night and she's such fun..... going to miss her when we go south, but we "facetime" most nights at bedtime.

9:52 am

welki

she's like her mother, haz - i used to wish she'd have a child just like the one she was, and that's what she got

9:53 am

welki

i saw her pics, diane - i remember when the first little baby photos were posted, two years old already!

9:54 am

dianedecoder

.... darn old "time".... passing MUCH too quickly !!

9:54 am

Haz1558

It's a lovely time when you can just see children developing. We used to feel like freeze-framing our girls when they were at an especially nice stage but learned that each stage is exciting and just to go with it.

9:55 am

dianedecoder

Exactly, Haz!!.... you are so right :-)

300 dollars for a regular blue ventolin rescue inhaLER??? THAT IS INSANITY!!!

sorry caps

2:18 pm

crosshair

now some of our steroid inhalers can be 100 or so,but a standard ventolin inhaler for rescue purposes is 24 dollars

2:23 pm

crosshair

i have thought for a long time that the time has come to take the blue Ventolin rescue inhalers off the list and make them non-perscription. heck i can remember when Monostat needed an RX. for some meds it just makes more sense to have them redily available to the public at a low cost for all

2:27 pm

crosshair

since i use both the ventolin and becolovent inhalers myself;)

2:31 pm

Jubi, Sam's Club and Costco have discount prescriptions. I would try there if you can. This is just the beginning of the health care catastrophe.

Pretty sure health care has been a catastrophe for years.

2:33 pm

Hi all!

2:33 pm

Indeed, but it's going to get a lot worse.

2:35 pm

magazinemom

To each his own opinion, but I'll finally be able to buy insurance at a reasonable price after 5 years without it.

2:36 pm

MollyL

To each their own opinion on what a reasonable price is and what you get for that price.

2:37 pm

magazinemom

Well for me $300 a month for a very good covereage policy is better than $600 a month (which I could not afford when I was single) for a plan with a $5000 yearly deductible before they paid anything.
