2:37 am

sprite

good morning, babblefriends

2:39 am

grannyrose

cooee sprite

2:41 am

grannyrose

no sign of miz pugs...hope she survived her day out.

2:50 am

sprite

sorry, squirrel.... or rather my daughter, grin

2:50 am

sprite

yeah, puuuuuuug! Come! Let's play!

2:51 am

grannyrose

*grin* and how is caya?

2:52 am

sprite

tired... went to Antwerpen with school yesterday, 4 musea in one day, home at 10 in the evening and now back to school. But she had a good time.

2:52 am

grannyrose

and equally important, how is you?

2:52 am

grannyrose

my, the energy levels of the young....

2:54 am

sprite

not too great. Still flu-ey and damn tired, and tense. Did the second half of our bills yesterday and sigh, had to apply for a loan. Will get a call from the intermediair at 11 this morning. And double sigh, wetted the bed again... all fear, I guess.

2:55 am

grannyrose

oh, my poor darling sprite....hugs and kisses dearest one.

2:56 am

sprite

thanks hun, that helps :) Troubled times. Will they ever stop, rose? My love and I said yesterday it should become our time to relax and smell the roses soon... we are due.

2:57 am

grannyrose

sprite, when that happens, you won't know yourselves. when it happened to us, it was such a relief....then we acquired the MIL...*sigh* well at least we had 6 months..

2:58 am

sprite

oh rose... *hugs* Well, at least those 6 months are yours forever.

2:59 am

grannyrose

lol....MIL not good this time...very shaky....we are demanding a new assessment of her needs. as i said to her visiting nurse...we don't even have time to go out for a coffe.

2:59 am

grannyrose

*coffee*

3:00 am

sprite

that doesn't sound good at all. Sounds like more care the two of you can give.

3:01 am

ChrissieDee

Hi girls. What will happen to MIL when you have your next op and recover rose?

3:01 am

grannyrose

if her assessment shows she needs more care, we can access more funds...hopefully to pay for a carer to come in and give us some time off.

3:02 am

grannyrose

lol...chrissie, same as last time...i orchestrated her care from hospital....

3:02 am

sprite

that does sound like a bare necessity indeed

3:02 am

ChrissieDee

You really need time to just care about yourself

3:03 am

grannyrose

chrissie, it might sound selfish...but i want someone to take care of ME....

3:03 am

ChrissieDee

Not at all selfish (((rose)))

3:04 am

sprite

YES! That is what I was thinking. I respect the needs of your MIL. But you have needs too and your situation isn't very healthy for you.

3:04 am

sprite

hiya Chrissie :)

3:04 am

ChrissieDee

(((Sprite)))

3:07 am

grannyrose

i have already spoken to MIL. i told her that on the day of my surgery, i expect her and her daughter to manage. NO calls to DH or myself...for once i would like to have DH to myself...she sort of smiled...will reiterate closer to date.

3:08 am

ChrissieDee

Goodness, surely one day is not too much to ask for!

3:08 am

sprite

very good, rose. And to make sure, don't pick up any of their phonecalls. Screen the calls.

3:10 am

ChrissieDee

Off to work now. Love to you both :)

3:10 am

grannyrose

last time, i was on the trolley, waiting to go into surgery. SIL phoned , frantic, as MIL had not peed much. for goodness sake. she is taking 'water' pills...

3:10 am

sprite

have a good day at work, Chrissie *hug*

3:10 am

grannyrose

hope you have a good one, chrissie. see you at the flip

3:11 am

sprite

make SIL call the doctor in case of panic. Not you or Don.

3:12 am

grannyrose

planning on it, sprite. am going to leave her with alternative phone numbers.

3:12 am

sprite

guess the veleta waltz is capitalised, darn it

3:13 am

sprite

very good, rose. That way, she can't say you didn't prepare her for it.

3:16 am

grannyrose

MIL's dinner gone in....i think ours is soon.

3:16 am

sprite

you ready for dinner? :)

3:17 am

grannyrose

okay, from the sounds in the kitchen...dinner ready....oh, yeah...

3:17 am

sprite

enjoy then, hun. See you later. Pray for me that the loan comes through!

3:17 am

grannyrose

xoxox, sprite, catch you alter...and perhaps miz pugs too

3:18 am

sprite

I hope so

3:18 am

grannyrose

3:21 am

joso

hi all

3:21 am

sprite

hi joso :) How are you today?

3:22 am

joso

good, how is the wide world treating you sprite

3:23 am

sprite

not very friendly at the moment... still flu and it is so cold all of a sudden! The storm ended the long 'indian summer' we have been having here.

3:29 am

joso

yes, no flue here, but temp dropped yesterday, piled on the blankets last night, felt well loved by fabric, but temp bounced back today.

3:29 am

sprite

cuddling up underneath the blankets is nice :)

3:31 am

joso

it is, one of the few good things about the cold.

3:32 am

sprite

true. Not quite ready for the winter, to be honest.

3:35 am

joso

snow scapes are gorgeous, skiing, skating, christmas, and playing with wee kids in snow are also terrific, but waiting for busses and such suck.

3:36 am

sprite

lighting candles in the evening, coming home from the cold and finding a warm home and a warm hug, winter food...

3:37 am

joso

oh, hot chocolate (any hot drinks actually) are better when it's cold.

3:37 am

sprite

:)

3:37 am

sprite

gluh wein :)

3:37 am

joso

fire in the fireplace

3:38 am

grannyrose

aww, my poor chilled friends...sends lots of warm wishes to you both....

3:38 am

sprite

wish we had one

3:38 am

sprite

hiya rose, wb :) How was dinner?

3:38 am

grannyrose

use me, use me...lol

3:38 am

joso

me too, maybe the new place will have a fireplace

3:38 am

sprite

oh that would be awesome, joso

3:39 am

sprite

lolol rose... now how had you planned that??

3:39 am

grannyrose

yummy, chicken sweet potato salad, and lamb sausages. followed by pears.

3:39 am

sprite

sounds really delish

3:40 am

grannyrose

sprite, could blow into post bag....then send it off.

3:41 am

sprite

lol... does not a warm fireplace make, rose

3:41 am

grannyrose

alternatively, could send my own mother over...old dragon breath...she is the cause of global warming...lol

3:41 am

grannyrose

hey, joso...mate...glad to see you

3:41 am

joso

why do you come up with these things when i am being a good boy and gnawing on celery

3:41 am

sprite

oh! I know! We can put her up with my father and they can narcist eachother crazy :)

3:42 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah...sprite

3:42 am

sprite

ouch, joso. Ok... carrots... celery... icewater... dry biscuits...

3:42 am

grannyrose

joso, it's a very low cal. meal...

3:42 am

joso

high rose, fell asleep at the keyboard, just woke up.

3:43 am

sprite

oh rose, lol... I told you about the weird letter from the strange lady I got, right?

3:43 am

grannyrose

the sausages i buy have no bread in them, and very little fat.

3:43 am

grannyrose

yeah, sprite. and did dear ol' dad respond on your behalf?

3:44 am

sprite

no, the only reaction I got on my refusal to come was the letter from the strange lady. And I couldn't decide how to answer her.

3:44 am

joso

oh yea, a miserable meal, my celery is much better, so fresh, so crisp, gaaakkk who am I kidding

3:44 am

sprite

then it hit me, yesterday... I didn't want to answer her, but my father. And I found the perfect card...

3:45 am

grannyrose

ignore her, hun. and any subsequent mail...bin without opening.

3:45 am

sprite

a cow that reaches out her head towards the reader... and I put on the front "Which part of NO was unclear to you?" With the NO on the nose of the cow.

3:45 am

joso

how does the card read sprite?

3:45 am

grannyrose

*hands joso the cheese spread* enjoy, mate.

3:46 am

grannyrose

* and here's the peanut butter*

3:46 am

sprite

and inside I have told my father that I had already said no, that I didn't appreciate him trying to manipulate me into coming by using a lady I don't even know, that my health requires that I don't come and that I, ergo, won't come.

3:47 am

sprite

cards can't read, joso, they don't have eyes ;)

3:47 am

The Soup Nazi

Heh, that ev4 is perfectly timed for today.

3:47 am

grannyrose

yay...sprite....you rock, girl.

3:47 am

grannyrose

hey ya soup

3:48 am

sprite

yeah, it felt right. Took me this long to figure out I didn't need to answer her. Then it all fell in place.

3:48 am

sprite

hi Soup

3:48 am

The Soup Nazi

Hey guys.

3:49 am

The Soup Nazi

glottle

3:49 am

grannyrose

3:49 am

The Soup Nazi

Hey guys.

3:49 am

sprite

not valid, but nice try

3:50 am

joso

yea, not worth your time and effort to bother with a reply. get the practice now, when you are a world famous author you will not be able to answer all your mail

3:50 am

sprite

how silly can you get, rose? Tsk.

3:50 am

grannyrose

how can a 6 year old be ev4??

3:50 am

sprite

3:51 am

sprite

3:51 am

The Soup Nazi

I'm going to end up doing the whole damn grid in the chatbox!

3:52 am

joso

oh six year olds can be evil, than god they are not very good at it yet, lol

3:52 am

sprite

hey, if I ever become famous (and rich!) I will collect you from your doorstep and we will finally get our chance to have time together.

3:52 am

grannyrose

lol...and soup? why should you be the only one??

3:52 am

Lizlin

3:52 am

sprite

3:53 am

Lizlin

3:53 am

joso

3:53 am

Lizlin

Hi Joso

3:54 am

Lizlin

If you're going to clue in the chat box, soup, please make it words I don't have. Btw, you were pretty close with that first gl you wrote!

3:55 am

The Soup Nazi

Yeah I know, I didn't even type in the right spelling just to further my embarrassment!

3:55 am

sprite

3:55 am

3:55 am

Lizlin

Ye sprite

3:56 am

4:01 am

grannyrose

4:01 am

sprite

4:02 am

grannyrose

*giggle*

4:02 am

sprite

4:03 am

Lizlin

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!! nice job

4:03 am

sprite

I'd better go prepare for the loan talk. Pray for us :) *hugs* to you all and have a peaceful evening and/or a lovely day.

4:03 am

o-o

What do you mean by "evil"?

Most of us have our lists of people whom we regard as profoundly evil. And a number of us also think that the people on our lists are mentally ill, deranged, insane, or crazy. But is being evil really a mark of mental illness? Can moral character determine mental health?

Without a clear understanding of what it means to be evil, it is difficult to answer this question. So what, in the first place, does it mean to be evil?

4:04 am

worzel

Gooooooooooood morning all xx Would someone tell me how many words today please? xx

4:04 am

4:04 am

joso

I'm off to find a real bed before i fall asleep again, sorry MIL is having trouble readjusting to home again rose, and that you are getting stressed out sprite, of course it feels right not to answer your dad's missives, just because a salesman goes to all the trouble to come to your door do you feel obligated to buy. G'night all

4:04 am

sprite

hi and bye, o-o... I don't know any truly evil people, thank God. Truly good people either. Most are a mix of both, I guess.

4:05 am

grannyrose

xoxox, sprite

4:05 am

sprite

bye joso, thanks :) Enjoy the reading.

4:05 am

grannyrose

night, joso. sleep well, mate

4:07 am

grannyrose

o-o, i think he meant that because my 6 year old was so innocent, that the man could not corrupt him. hence my son was 'ev4' because this man could not break through his innate sweetness.

4:10 am

o-o

The illogic is if your son could not be corrupted, how could he be evil?

4:12 am

grannyrose

exactly, o-o. which is why i disassociated from this man immediately..

4:15 am

grannyrose

it was almost unreal. after i cut him from my life, i went into spiritual battle against him...asked God to show me all the links he had formed with my sons and myself. i never knew a judo uniform could burn so quickly. and stuff i had completely forgotted literally fell out of cupboards to be destroyed.

4:18 am

grannyrose

and one of my sons, who definitely is NOT the world's best cleaner, actually discovered a record behind his study desk.it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life...when God took over, to protect me and my sons.

2:12 pm

MollyL

We get very few kids. Community trick or treat is the more popular thing here, rather than going door to door. I keep some candy handy in case a few kids stop by.

2:13 pm

We sometimes walk down to the townhouse development a few blocks over where a lot of kids trick or treat. Kids love it that we are walking around, giving out candy.

I used to go to a restaurant in France, near CERN (physics lab in Geneva), which had a dessert called "ce putain d'assiette" which if you know French is a bit rude - it was a sampler of all their desserts and quite tasty, don't know why they called it that

we haven't been getting trick or treaters for some years now, but since hubby ate all the candy this year, I guess we will have to pass out quarters to those who show up in the next hour

6:06 pm

hurshy

we have never really gotten any

6:07 pm

hurshy

the first place we lived, the only one we got was, my professor went out of his way to bring his kid over

6:07 pm

hurshy

so i stopped bothering to buy candy

6:08 pm

Aloyisius

our neighborhood kids have "flown the coop"

6:09 pm

hurshy

there are kids in our complex... but... i dunno if they overlook our unit cause the door is around the end, or what

6:09 pm

hurshy

maybe people just aren't into it anymore

6:11 pm

Aloyisius

we live out in the "boonies" where there are no sidewalks.. parents take kids to developments with good lighting and sidewalks, I think

6:12 pm

MollyL

I think it depends on the neighborhood. In the group I run with, three of us get hardly any kids and three get so many they go through bags and bags of candy.

6:13 pm

penquis

sorry, hurshy....got distracted...

6:13 pm

Same as the ta6/21, but use what you burn in the fireplace for the last three

6:51 pm

Lizlin

Weird word. Thanks. I wanted to add ly to the ta 4 - didn't work!

6:51 pm

MollyL

Sorry, what you burn in the fireplace less the first letter.

6:51 pm

Lizlin

Realised that's what you meant.

6:52 pm

MollyL

I'm distracted with Halloween goofiness by my neighbors. : D

6:53 pm

Lizlin

No one came here! Phew! Heard kids outside saying "have we been to this house?" then they wandered off! Am I complaining?

6:54 pm

Lizlin

Are the lu 5 / 6 connected?

6:55 pm

MollyL

Yes

6:55 pm

Lizlin

Just found them!

6:55 pm

yes, but not plural

Lizlin

Guess there weren't that many options - had the lu 4 and the last lu 6!

6:56 pm

Happy Halloween. We never have trick or treaters since the grandboys grew up. Wrong type of neighborhood for walking along the road at night.

6:57 pm

Lizlin

Hi stidg :)

6:57 pm

Minveryork

Hello stidgmere!How are you doing today?Welcome to grid

6:57 pm

Lizlin

We've never had many here either - last couple of years some young kids with their parents - but this year, zilch!

6:57 pm

Lizlin

Choccys to be donated to PB.

6:58 pm

stidgmere

Hi liz. I am fine, minver. We are getting a little blue skies amongst the clouds and even some sunshine on yellow-leaved maples. I'm baking potatoes and we have pumpkin pie for dessert. Darn. Isn't life just amazing!

6:59 pm

Lizlin

Sounds yummy. With the time difference i can be there before I leave here, so I'll join you!

6:59 pm

stidgmere

I shall set a place at the table for you! Love having company to visit with!

6:59 pm

Lizlin

;)

7:00 pm

Lizlin

Seriously though, I've never had pumpkin pie - not something very common in England.

7:01 pm

MollyL

Apparently, the whole pumpkins for jack-o-lanterns started in America. In olden times, people in the UK made their jack-o-lanterns from turnips.

7:01 pm

stidgmere

Oh. Liz. Shall I send you a can of pumpkin with instructions? Would it be allowed in through customs?

7:02 pm

stidgmere

Have you ever tried to put a candle in a turnip? Just wondered.

7:02 pm

Lizlin

Possibly but we can get pumpkins here. I guess I could always google a recipe! No - we did a pumpkin once or twice when I was a kid but it wasn't a big thing in England then.

7:03 pm

Lizlin

that was a really nice thought, though, stidg. Thanks.

7:04 pm

stidgmere

Oh. You just need a recipe then. Also whipped cream. Must have that on top of the pie. Spices are cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.

7:04 pm

MollyL

So you can get canned pumpkin Liz?

7:04 pm

Lizlin

Love those spices. So I guess I would like it!

7:04 pm

Lizlin

We roast pumpkin for dinner quite often and put cinnamon or nutmeg on it.

7:05 pm

Minveryork

S's Slapped! 10 left

7:05 pm

Lizlin

I've never looked but I'll try to remember to do so. But I guess cooked it and blitz it and add the spices - and possibly a bit more.

7:05 pm

stidgmere

We must get together the next time you visit in Canada, Liz.

7:06 pm

MollyL

I make pumpkin cheesecake pie for Thanksgiving (a layer of cheesecake topped with a layer of pumpkin)

7:06 pm

Lizlin

Sounds good - providing we're not on a tour group again. Don't know when that will be though.

7:07 pm

Lizlin

Hoping to "do" New Zealand next and also the NW area of Aus - so staying a bit closer to home. But not for a couple of years. UK next year to visit friends and family.

7:08 pm

Lizlin

Would love to come back to the Canadian W / NW again - lovely area.

7:08 pm

MollyL

How long has it been since you have been back to the UK?

7:08 pm

Lizlin

Found Aussie website with pumpkin pie recipe - doesn't look difficult making own pumpkin puree.

7:09 pm

Lizlin

3 years Molly.

7:09 pm

if more than 2 bikers want to ride together, they have to phone the police and tell them. a bikie gang, group of people who ride motorbikes. they form clubs.

11:54 pm

rururocks

11:55 pm

patch clubs. these riders have a club patch sewn onto the back of their jackets. it usually says the name of the club, the motto and their logo.

11:55 pm

hello all - we have bike gangs here but they are mostly people over 40 that ride together usually early in the day - they go for a long ride then stop off for breakfast - nothing like the old days - today youngsters prefer to buy cars and these bike groups ride very flash bikes - harleys etc

11:57 pm

grannyrose

one lady who was riding a trail bike was pulled over by the cops, and they demanded she show them any tattoos she had.
