*out of lurk mode* hello to all, WTG ALL FINISHERS!!!

1:00 am

Lizlin

Hi Rose - good to see you :)

1:01 am

grannyrose

hey liz, can i please have a few degrees of your temperatures. it's freezing down here. :-(

1:02 am

Lizlin

You're welcome to some degrees Rose - but I think you'd prefer us to keep the thunderstorm that we've got right now.

1:02 am

grannyrose

ewww, nah you can keep it there, lol

1:02 am

Lizlin

Read on the news about the huge temp drop in Melbourne.

1:02 am

Lizlin

Something like 15 degrees in 10 minutes!

1:03 am

grannyrose

liz, i am actually getting around with a woolen cardigan on....me....mrs. omg it's hot.

1:04 am

Lizlin

OMG! Yes it is hot!!!!

1:04 am

Lizlin

Poor you :(

1:04 am

grannyrose

i so want to get out into the garden...roses are desperate for their summer pruning.

1:04 am

Lizlin

At least you have roses down there!

1:05 am

grannyrose

yeah, true.

1:05 am

Lizlin

I love flowers (though they don't love me too much) and we don't have many up here. Tree blossom is beautiful in spring though.

1:06 am

Lizlin

Please note, not asking the obvious question - will wait until you're ready to say that you're feeling wonderful ;)

1:07 am

Lizlin

And that wasn't a covert question!!!

1:08 am

Lizlin

Is the q used other than for the 2 words that start with q?

1:09 am

grannyrose

liz, suffice to say, don't hold your breath, dear. still tearing up at the slightest provocation. knee not too bad, will be an interesting appointment next week with surgeon. pain under control, but that is with the use of oxycodone. and i cannot work under the 'influence' of narcotics.

1:09 am

puglet

Hello Liz and Rose and everyone else

1:09 am

Lizlin

Hi Pugs :)

1:09 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} miz pugs. so glad to see you, dear. are you safe? are you okay?

1:09 am

Lizlin

Rose, I realise and understand how p****d off you must feel, so really, unless you want to talk about it, I won't ask.

1:09 am

Lizlin

Except perhaps after you've seen the surgeon.

1:10 am

Lizlin

Pugs - as Rose said!

1:10 am

grannyrose

thanx liz. and the q is only used for those 2 words

1:11 am

puglet

Yes Iam fine ----due to the high winds dont know how long I will be able to stay on line for its flickering

1:11 am

grannyrose

did himself come home yet, pugs? and how is sis's BSL today?

1:12 am

puglet

sugars have came down some and He is vacationing in the county jail as we speak

1:13 am

jbp

hi all

1:13 am

Lizlin

BBS - have just photographed the latest bear in our collection. She (named Winnie after the people who gave her to us) makes me think of you Rose, so I'll send it to you soon.

1:13 am

Lizlin

Hi jbp and Pugs - glad you'll have some peace for a while.

1:13 am

grannyrose

oh, goodie...on both counts. so apart from the storm, you're doing okay. and that is not to belittle what you have to contend with re the storm.

1:13 am

puglet

hi jbp

1:14 am

grannyrose

cooee jbp

1:14 am

cosdem

I wandered off and forgot about this.

1:14 am

puglet

yes Im okay and I have myself under better control

1:14 am

jbp

peace? i also wandered into the doorframe of this conversation...

1:14 am

grannyrose

ow, cos, how could you forget us? *pouts*

1:15 am

puglet

How is everyone else today or evening

1:15 am

cosdem

oh this movie is distracting. :)

1:15 am

jbp

I understand that y'all are dealing with ...um... stuff. So I will just send my hugs {[{[ }]}]

1:16 am

grannyrose

pfft,cos...and you can't multitask?

1:16 am

cosdem

I forgot how.

1:16 am

grannyrose

oh, jbp, thanx hun. all hugs gratefully accepted. and you dear? how are you doing?

1:17 am

jbp

i'm ok. still stressed about not having a job etc.

1:17 am

jbp

but i'm working on it

1:18 am

jbp

in the larger scheme of things, it's not really a big deal

1:19 am

grannyrose

jbp, tobe unemployed when one needs to be employed is a major thing. you must be going through so much stress, hun.

1:21 am

jbp

yeah. there's just so much else going on. it's just, I've been laid off (I'm sorry, part of a 'workforce reduction' as they are calling it) since beginning of October. Have had several interviews, but because of the holidays no one could decide anything until no one was on vacation. So this week will either bring good news, or.,. not so much.

1:21 am

jbp

the not knowing makes me nuts (-er)

1:22 am

grannyrose

my inheritance should come through sometime this month. i will be looking at if/when i can retire. this body of mine is worn out.the tendons are all like cheap elastic, just waiting to go 'ping'.

1:22 am

jbp

well, don't go 'ping' just yet, please

1:23 am

grannyrose

absolutely, jbp. it is the not knowing...and wondering if at the end of the wait, is there a place for you?

1:23 am

jbp

yep, you hit the nail on the head

1:24 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} just for you, jbp. and prayers for your emotional and physical health to endure.

1:24 am

jbp

but hey, i just found the ut 7/36, so it's all good

1:25 am

jbp

thanks, and back atcha rose!

1:26 am

grannyrose

yay, you, jbp. a place where we wanna be, hun

1:26 am

jbp

indeed

1:28 am

flosey

23 to go and think I'll try tomorrow, goodnight all

1:29 am

puglet

night flosey

1:29 am

jbp

nite flosey!

1:29 am

grannyrose

love and hugs, flosey. hope you sleep and rest well, dear

1:30 am

grannyrose

btw, flosey. love your new icon.so true.

1:30 am

jbp

i think this may be one of those grids that kicks my butt before I reach halfway...

1:31 am

grannyrose

nah, jbp. it's not too bad. are you stuck, dear? can i help you over the hump?

1:32 am

jbp

yeah, there are multiple humps. don't feel bad./ i'm happy if I get either half way or to nbt... and I'm close on both.

1:32 am

grannyrose

yay, jbp. well done.

1:33 am

jbp

how about the lower right i?

1:34 am

grannyrose

i don't believe how well you all do when you're body is screaming for sleep.

1:34 am

grannyrose

jbp, a little bit and it's plural, io4/4, 5/10

1:34 am

jbp

well, there is that. the most stressful thing for me is to try and go to bed, and then not fall asleep

1:34 am

jbp

ugh.

1:35 am

grannyrose

yeah...i go to bed, sleep a few hours, then toss and turn until it is time for my next lot of pain-killers. i try not to turn my lamp on.

1:36 am

jbp

yeah, I get that

1:38 am

jbp

got the i... it was such a little thing

1:38 am

grannyrose

i also 'burn'. my fibromyalgia effects my body-temperature control. and my skin burns, so off go the sheet and blankets, off goes the pajama top, and i lie there waiting for everything to cool down enough for me to sleep.

1:39 am

grannyrose

yay, jbp...next???

1:39 am

rururocks

I can never get over the hump.

1:39 am

jbp

well, i haven't been diagnosed with fm, but i do have chronic pain and numbness and whenever I roll over, that wakes me up

1:39 am

jbp

I thought as much ruru

1:39 am

grannyrose

roflol...and what are you doing, still awake?

1:39 am

jbp

the O on the far left.>

1:40 am

grannyrose

oo4/4

1:40 am

jbp

that shall go on my list of words to type before I even look at the grid

1:40 am

jbp

along with etna and nene

1:41 am

grannyrose

you know, ruru? i would have thought the hump would have helped you to sleep...lol

1:41 am

jbp

oh, wait, I need the top middle i still (dang! thought I was nbt)

1:42 am

grannyrose

plural form of beliefs, is4/5

1:42 am

jbp

1:42 am

jbp

thanks rose. ;-)

1:42 am

grannyrose

whoot, jbp

1:42 am

jbp

well, with 64 left, i'm off like a prom dress.

1:42 am

jbp

hope to see y'all tomorrow!!

1:43 am

rururocks

Crap..I never went to the prom

1:43 am

grannyrose

lolol, jbp. hope you have a good one, dear.xoxox

1:45 am

grannyrose

did you not, ruru?

1:46 am

rururocks

Nope

1:47 am

rururocks

Not really my scene in high school

1:47 am

grannyrose

no i am not going to write what i originally wanted to write. rur, was there any reason why you didn't have a prom?

1:47 am

grannyrose

ah, you answered me

1:48 am

grannyrose

proms have only come into being over the last decade here, and the same for debuts.

1:48 am

rururocks

I was too busy doing other things...

1:49 am

grannyrose

same here. i was totally involved with ballet and music.

1:50 am

grannyrose

oh and tennis. was playing competition tennis also at that time of my life.

1:50 am

rururocks

Wow. I wish I played tennis earlier in my life

1:51 am

rururocks

I started at 40.

1:51 am

grannyrose

did you play any sort of sport, ruru?

1:51 am

rururocks

No I was a hippy and a slacker.

1:52 am

grannyrose

good for you, ruru. it is hard to pick up a new sport when you are older. people look at you and expect you to be able to play .

1:53 am

rururocks

I got pretty good in tennis till I did my knees in.

1:54 am

grannyrose

hey, nothing wrong with being a hippy...to my memory, it took a lot to do the hippy scene properly.

1:56 am

rururocks

I got good grades in school but didn't have to work hard at it.

1:59 am

grannyrose

and after school, what then?

1:59 am

rururocks

I fumbled around a long time in college

2:00 am

grannyrose

did you have any idea where you wanted to go then?

2:00 am

rururocks

Yes..I really wanted to be a teacher

2:01 am

grannyrose

so what happened?

2:01 am

rururocks

Wasn't in the cards...for me..I got diverted into the wine biz...

2:03 am

grannyrose

and so what is stopping you from being a teacher now? in the wine culture? you know lots, and people will pay lots to learn how to know a good wine.

2:04 am

rururocks

I did get to teach wine courses for 11 years. I loved it.

2:06 am

rururocks

Work is now in the way. ..maybe later in life.

2:06 am

grannyrose

and now? why not now?

2:06 am

grannyrose

yeah, i get you, mate. life sometimes sucks.

2:07 am

rururocks

I don't have the freedoms I used to have

2:10 am

grannyrose

yup, i know, mate. maybe later??

2:10 am

rururocks

I hope so.

2:11 am

rururocks

After travel.

2:11 am

grannyrose

me too, for your sake...absolutely...you have to come and visit don and i

2:13 am

rururocks

I will have to how my life goes in the next few years

2:16 am

rururocks

I better get to bed

2:16 am

rururocks

Nite

2:16 am

grannyrose

yeah, mate. hope you have a good rest.

2:26 am

grannyrose

2:45 am

Your attitude is one I need to do a better job of emulating

2:46 am

Dianne

Well, there are plenty of folks worrying about the warmth and the food so I am one of the lucky ones :)

4:09 am

rbud

oh! monkeyed it. ep4

4:10 am

zoozzoom

Ahh thank you...to do with poetry i think.

4:33 am

Anniebrook

hello everyone

4:34 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Annie :-)

4:34 am

Anniebrook

hello there, zooz

4:35 am

zoozzoom

Is it still mega cold there, Annie?

4:36 am

Anniebrook

tomorrow and Wednesday, mega cold is predocted. today cold but not brutal

4:37 am

zoozzoom

Oh dear..i do hope you keep well wraped up when going out..Brrr

4:37 am

Anniebrook

*predicted

4:38 am

Anniebrook

zooz, I do. Putting the seat belt on is a chore

4:38 am

Anniebrook

and Im not heavy

4:40 am

zoozzoom

haha yes i can imagine..not nice being bungled up with all those extra layers and thick gloves.

4:42 am

Anniebrook

I cannot wait until spring but we have Jan. Feb and March to contend with. I feel for the folks in the Midwest, their temps are below zero. Poor o-o, he probably gave up lounging in his hammock

4:44 am

zoozzoom

Yes not nice way up north i am sure..i do not know how people can live in such cold conditions...I suppose you get used to it...but when you do not expect such harsh conditions i think it is even tougher...as you are not that prepared for it...body wise.

4:46 am

Anniebrook

this is has been an especially brutal winter so far. People manage. I heard on the TV that police and agencies are looking for homeless people and bringing them into shelterss for food and warmth.

4:49 am

zoozzoom

Yes i saw that too...then they showed you some people sitting on these big wire meshes with lots of steam coming up from the ground.

4:50 am

Anniebrook

I am very grateful for my home, food in the fridge. I am going out later.. The only thing that bothers me is ice on the streets.

4:50 am

zoozzoom

Damn i have no milk left..popping out to the local shop to get some milk..bbs

4:50 am

Anniebrook

take care

5:05 am

zoozzoom

And back...great having a shop just across the road.

5:06 am

zoozzoom

Yes i agree...ice is the worst thing to have on the paths..so dangerous.

5:07 am

o-o

16 reported deaths

5:08 am

Anniebrook

o-o that is awful. Is your place warm? Are you okay?

5:08 am

zoozzoom

Hello, o-o, thats not good..is that where you live or other parts of USA?

5:10 am

o-o

I am fine ... worse on east coast because of snowfall ... we have wind and very cold wind chills but little snow

5:11 am

ivesy3

5:14 am

hi Annie

5:15 am

zoozzoom

Well there are roads here that are flooded and some roads here have also diappeared down big sink holes..but apart from that i am fine where i am, Lynxxx...and today it is 11.3c.

5:17 am

o-o

I stay positive and keep om mind only 353 days until Christmas

5:18 am

zoozzoom

lol yes is it that close to Christmas already :-)

5:21 am

o-o

I had hoped the grid would be larger

5:22 am

zoozzoom

Oh i am so with you on that one..i love large grids.

5:24 am

zoozzoom

I would of loved it if bable was like the iron sudoku where you can complete old sudokus...so when you have tiny grids like today ...you could always go and do another one from the past that you may not of done before.

5:24 am

o-o

I talked to a driver from Dallas yesterday ... first trip up north in winter ... said I am crazy to live here. Had to smile ... he looked miserable

5:25 am

zoozzoom

Yes if you are not used to extreme cold conditions i am sure it will be tough.

5:25 am

lynxxx

do you like Winter there o=o?

5:28 am

o-o

Has been my home all my life ... the winters have been mild for several years ... I know I have to be cautious, dress appropriately, etc. ... the winter I spent in vietnam was more of shock .... monsoons

5:32 am

lynxxx

I haven't been that far north but I remember my first visit to Northern Queensland in November- couldn't believe the humidity. We have a very mild climate down here. Not sure how I would cope with your cold although I do like colder weather

5:32 am

Anniebrook

I was at the Brookyn Museum Saturday and they had an exhibit of war photography. There was a picture of a wounded soldier sitting and covered in mud with a glazed eyes. The medic trying to help him had a desperate look on his face. It was shattering. I used to write to Dean Rusk all the time to stop this damn war that we had no business being involved in. I also marched. Pres. Johnson finally caved but so many lives were damaged.

5:37 am

o-o

Nixon's peace with honor accounted for more than 5000 dead ... despite what anyone says ... the troops are treated similarly to tanks and jeeps ... commodities to be used, abuse and tossed aside

5:38 am

Anniebrook

yes, I agree

5:38 am

o-o

the stop loss program in my view is criminal

5:39 am

lynxxx

I just checked on conscription for both our countries...seems it was to provide additional fodder for Vietnam and both countries stopped about the same time

5:40 am

o-o

Nixon's machinations caused loss of life for allies too

5:43 am

Anniebrook

I have to make a phone call at 7AM to Social Security for Bobby. I have to get all the info ready. see you guys later.

must go to the gendarmerie. husband's wallet, with ALL his papers Inside, was stolen at the supermarket on Saturday.

6:09 am

rubyfoo

He is definitely a target now

6:09 am

BzznBea

Oh, Ruby. What a mess. So sorry.

6:09 am

lynxxx

oh no! def stolen? or perhaps lost

6:09 am

rubyfoo

he even had his SS card! Who knew?

6:10 am

lynxxx

what do you mean a target? has it happened before?

6:10 am

rubyfoo

He had his residency card, driver's license, insurance card for the car, Amex card as well. What a mess!

6:10 am

rubyfoo

I think if he's just dropped it, someone would have turned it in

6:10 am

rubyfoo

Yes it has. He's old and oblivious to his surroundings.

6:12 am

rubyfoo

I have no idea what to do about his SS card, but it leaves him open to identity theft and I probably have to re-pply for the residency card, which took 3 months in 2012

6:12 am

lynxxx

More problems for you to deal with - I am sorry

6:12 am

rubyfoo

This is the 3rd time something similar has happened plus all the times he has just "lost" it in the car or in a pocket

6:12 am

crosshair

good morning everyone from the great white north!:)) foot and a half of snow last night and a fresh blizzard today will dump yet another foot and a half!

6:13 am

I am feeling a little bit desperate

Maybe it is time for him to stop driving/doing the shopping?

6:13 am

rubyfoo

I'm sure it is, but taking away his keys and his few remaining chores will break him, I fear

6:14 am

BzznBea

Maybe the gendarmerie can help you sort it all out.

6:14 am

BzznBea

Good Morning, Mr. White Hair.

6:14 am

lynxxx

Maybe you could use the theft as the excuse. Perhaps say that the gendarmes will not let him drive without his licence

6:14 am

rubyfoo

of course the fact of it's all being in French and his being deaf, make it all the more difficult

6:15 am

rubyfoo

and I have no idea where to start with his SS card which was issued in about 1938!

6:15 am

crosshair

I am sorry to ready about your troubles, ruby;(

6:15 am

BzznBea

You willl hae to contact SSA.

6:15 am

our next two days are supposed to be the worst.sigh

6:19 am

crosshair

and the jeep is fine but when you cannot see where the road ends and the farmer field begins, it is pretty much over as well

6:19 am

puglet

I was just going to ask you Ivesy, how it was there

6:20 am

crosshair

this system seems to be massive and we are sharing it with our American friends

6:20 am

are you getting this mess pugs?

6:21 am

o-o

My tank does not need a road .... but I do not get far with price of gas.

6:21 am

crosshair

by the time we see daylight tomorrow morning, we will have had just about 4 feet of snow in 36 hours

6:21 am

crosshair

gas is dirt cheap in the states, what you paying a gallon o-o?

6:22 am

o-o

2.99

6:22 am

puglet

we lucked out---we got mostly rain and little snow but its very windy with the wind chill 40-50 below and its to be about the same tomorrow

6:22 am

crosshair

lol..I am paying $1.30 a litre or about $5.20 a gallon

6:22 am

lynxxx

1.60 a litre here

6:22 am

puglet

wow OO---ours was 3.48

6:23 am

crosshair

still cheap, puglet

6:23 am

crosshair

our universal health care does not feed itself lol

6:24 am

crosshair

as I recall with the u.s gallon it is 3.78 litres and with the old Canadian gallon it is 4.11 litres

6:25 am

puglet

has it warmed up any there OO

6:25 am

crosshair

$2.99 a gallon..sigh... we would be lined up for miles to get gas for that price

6:26 am

lynxxx

do canadians drive over the border for it?

6:26 am

o-o

now and then ... depending on wind gusts

6:26 am

puglet

how far are you Crossy from the border

6:26 am

crosshair

but it is all relative. my uncle in London is paying the equiv. of $2,00 a litre for deisel

6:26 am

crosshair

3 hours, puglet

6:27 am

crosshair

carlee lives in sarnia and goes over all the time

6:27 am

puglet

guess thats a bit far to drive for a fill up--lol

6:28 am

crosshair

it is indeed

6:28 am

puglet

its good to see you are still safe though OO

6:28 am

crosshair

even if I were on the border though, I do not think I would wish to spend half an hour clearing customs just sitting there idiling in a line up. the savings would be lost

6:29 am

crosshair

as well as my time

6:29 am

o-o

I only go out to check if it is cold

6:29 am

crosshair

it is cold. you can stay in now

6:30 am

o-o

wonder what Three Dog Night would think?

6:30 am

puglet

a breath or two of fresh air is good for you though

6:31 am

crosshair

they would rename the band four dog night

6:32 am

crosshair

just opened a window for a quick breath, could not even see the road 10 feet away from my window

6:33 am

o-o

I can't see anything either

6:33 am

puglet

may I ask, just what is the plural for the large horn animal thats in this grid? Is there not one?

6:33 am

o-o

Maybe I should put up the shade?

6:33 am

puglet

I cant even open my windows--they are frozzen stuck

6:34 am

crosshair

I got one open with a hair dryer, puglet

6:34 am

puglet

sure you should OO if the sun is shining

6:34 am

crosshair

use the hair dryer around the edges and wipe up all the water as it melts and wipe the track when you get it open

6:35 am

o-o

the plural of the mo is the same

6:35 am

puglet

I will if the need come to open one

6:36 am

Hi, Molls. Hell, no! Our temps are supposed to drop about 50 degrees tonight. My to4 are already cringing.

I just heard that overnight wind chills are supposed to be minus 14 to minus 20. Yee Gods.

The entire state of North Dakota is shut down. Everything is frozen solid, schools closed. Sub-zero everything.

11:18 am

This is such awful news. Must have to do with global warming some way.

Ha ha! Quite the opposite, it would seem.

11:20 am

It does seem as if it doesn't have to do with global warming, but I wonder

11:20 am

Blame Canada. It's coming from their direction.

Scientifically speaking, I would think the bacon grease would help seal the hole in the ozone layer. Can we get a ruling from The Science Guy?

Ignore the typos in the above

11:23 am

Judi

After all, bacon do4 make everything better.

11:24 am

bichon

Except most people's arteries

11:26 am

Judi

Sigh. So true. I've given up most B foods on my diet. Bread, beer, bacon, sugar, fried foods, etc.

11:27 am

bichon

It's good to fill up on fruits and vegetable and whole grains

11:28 am

Judi

I do that. Just not as fun.

11:28 am

bichon

No, healthy dies are definitely not fun.

11:29 am

Judi

And, we joined a gym! Just shoot me.

Speaking of which, it's lunch time.

Joing a gym is great. The problem is to keep going
