4:14 am

zoozzoom

It is amazing how your vision get worse over a period of time...yet you do not notice it at first.I only noticed it playing babble..when people are chatting i have been finding it more difficult to see the chat clearly.

4:16 am

sprite

good morning, dear friends :)

4:16 am

puglet

I notice it on myself when my arm was no longer long enough--lol

4:16 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Sprite..i was just asking where you were..lol

4:16 am

sprite

lol

4:16 am

sprite

I was being a lazy so-and-so and sleeping in.

4:16 am

puglet

SPRITE! good morning! we were just talking about you

4:16 am

zoozzoom

Teehee, Puglet, you are funny :-)

4:17 am

puglet

feeling better friend

4:17 am

zoozzoom

Having a lye-in is good for you now and again...And i am sure you deserved it :-)

4:18 am

sprite

yeah a little. And you, pug? And how are you, zooz?

4:18 am

puglet

my chat is slow and sluggish

4:18 am

zoozzoom

I am very well thanks for asking :-)

4:19 am

puglet

I was on at flip but once again had to go back to bed :(===did get OO daily quote though)

4:19 am

4:19 am

puglet

zoom and I are have sight problems

4:20 am

puglet

I think I need a ing on have--lol

4:20 am

zoozzoom

I do like o-o's qoutes and profile messages..i always seem to learn from them.

4:20 am

sprite

pug, hun, give in to it. You have a whole lot of catching up to do. Now that you have made some decisions and the evil drinker isn't home, you are finally in the position to let go a bit of all that tension and so... you need sleep.

4:21 am

puglet

me too Zoom

4:21 am

Lizlin

Hi all - back for a few minutes.

4:21 am

sprite

lol I thought you were having short-arm-problems

4:21 am

sprite

same for me, zooz. O-o is a good 'un.

4:21 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Liz :-)

4:21 am

puglet

Hey Liz :)

4:21 am

sprite

hiya Liz *hugs* How is your day? I LOVED your puzzle!

4:22 am

Lizlin

Really glad you loved it! I've put another puzzle up today.

4:22 am

puglet

Sprite, he slithered in yesterday evening

4:22 am

sprite

ah, will check it out straight away

4:22 am

Lizlin

Well perhaps he can slither out again!

4:22 am

sprite

oh dear :( So sorry to hear it. How did it go?

4:23 am

puglet

He went to the spare bedroom--He does this after a episode----It will take him a few days to face me but Iam ready

4:23 am

Lizlin

Perhaps you could lock him in there - only joking, pugs but it would make your life calmer!

4:25 am

sprite

oh beautiful puzzle, Liz! Bookmarked it. Looks like a tough one.

4:25 am

puglet

I think I may be able to get some help(money wise) for caring for my sister. I will know more today I hope

4:26 am

sprite

wow that would be so awesome, pug! Will keep my fingers crossed for you (forgive any future typos pls)

4:26 am

Lizlin

I have no idea. The sights we saw in Alaska were just breath-taking. The photos are from the iPhoto book we made.

4:26 am

Lizlin

I hope you do so, pugs.

4:26 am

zoozzoom

Th4 will be good, Puglet, I hope it works out for you.

4:26 am

Lizlin

BTW, sprite. Spot the dolphin iceberg!

4:27 am

sprite

sure did :)

4:27 am

Lizlin

:)

4:27 am

puglet

yeah me too--I will give him til spring to find him a new home and do whatever with his animal outdoors if it goes through

4:27 am

Lizlin

The colours are as they were too - not enhanced.

4:28 am

sprite

wow pug, that is so strong and sensible of you. You rock, hun.

4:28 am

Lizlin

I think giving him til spring is really good of you.

4:28 am

sprite

they are amazing, Liz. Breathtaking.

4:28 am

puglet

I like the puzzle Liz---I done the smaller one

4:29 am

Lizlin

Icebergs or whales?

4:29 am

Lizlin

Glad you liked it pugs.

4:29 am

sprite

pug... will you add a condition? Until Spring on the condition he behaves? Otherwise, right away?

4:29 am

puglet

Iam not mean enough to send him out in the cold but its temping

4:29 am

zoozzoom

Excellent now you have made your mind up..keep strong and always remember you did not deserve to be treated the way you have ben for so long.

4:29 am

sprite

both, actually, Liz. But was talking about the ice.

4:29 am

puglet

I sure will Sprite

4:29 am

Lizlin

Sensible condition. Even tho it's cold, your safety must come first.

4:30 am

Lizlin

It was the holiday of a lifetime, Sprite.

4:30 am

sprite

you are radiating power, pug. I can feel it from here. So clear, so strong. Am so happy.

4:31 am

sprite

I can imagine, Liz! Such beauty.

4:31 am

puglet

I think Alaska would be just beautiful! I would love taking the train they have through it

4:32 am

Lizlin

We didn't go on the train even tho' a friend recommended it. We did shore excursions from the ship but they were all wildlife based.

4:32 am

Lizlin

We didn't go on the train even tho' a friend recommended it. We did shore excursions from the ship but they were all wildlife based.

4:32 am

Lizlin

We didn't go on the train even tho' a friend recommended it. We did shore excursions from the ship but they were all wildlife based.

4:33 am

Lizlin

Sorry - was trying to paragraph!

4:33 am

puglet

he cant drive a auto and havent been able to for years due to dwi's

4:33 am

zoozzoom

Hic-cups..tehee.

4:33 am

sprite

*giggles*

4:34 am

puglet

lol--got it Liz

4:34 am

sprite

well you can, pug :) And you are.

4:34 am

puglet

I can and its a big plus

4:35 am

Lizlin

Very necessary for you , I'dve thought.

4:36 am

puglet

they all depend on me for everything outside of here

4:36 am

puglet

I have no ideal what they would do if I got down

4:36 am

sprite

well he will have to find a way to be self-reliant or find someone else to do for him, pug. And you and your sister will go on as now in a much more relaxed way.

4:36 am

Lizlin

105 left - I'll be back in about 90 minutes, maybe less. If I don't see you, enjoy your days. Hugs :)

4:37 am

sprite

enjoy dinner, Liz :)

4:37 am

puglet

see you later then Liz

4:38 am

puglet

yes we will Sprite---Iam pass worrying about him on that account

4:38 am

sprite

very good, pug. And rightly so. He lost the right on your worries a long time ago.

4:39 am

puglet

Iam even thinking of selling and moving into town but thats along way down the road---first things first

4:40 am

puglet

are you feeling rested today Sprite and REALLY feeling better

4:40 am

sprite

I think it is wise to take things one step at a time, indeed, pug. You are making such huge steps already, things are bound to look and feel different soon.

4:41 am

sprite

a bit more rested and a bit better. Still a lot of pain and nightmares. Taking it slow here though, so it's ok.

4:41 am

puglet

it is just so hard here in the winters. I would hate leaving the country but I know Iam getting older too

4:42 am

sprite

very true, pug. Maybe you can find something still rural but closer to town, in time.

4:42 am

puglet

I hope you do Sprite----do you guys still have family meetings friday

4:43 am

sprite

no, not at the moment. There will be one in a couple of weeks, I expect. We are getting near the end of the counselling.

4:43 am

puglet

did your hubby have a better day at work

4:43 am

puglet

brb coffee

4:44 am

sprite

don't know yet. He stayed home yesterday and now is at work.

4:47 am

puglet

what kind of work does he do

4:48 am

sprite

he works with people who get an unemployment benefit and tries to help them towards a job again. Using everything from education to learning how to behave in a normal way.

4:50 am

puglet

I bet that is stressfull--people that are down and out so to speak are desperate and down and take it out on people in jobs like you hubby's

4:51 am

puglet

I have not seen our Rose today :(

4:51 am

sprite

well most are just too lazy, pug, to be honest. It is hard to get them motivated to do something. But it is not the clients that bring him down. It is his colleagues. Some of them are worse than the clients.

4:52 am

sprite

she is probably just fine, pug. Busy with other stuff, maybe not in a talkative mood, but she is really on her way up again.

4:53 am

puglet

that makes it bad for him at work Iam sure ---I feel sorry for him. How long has he worked there

4:53 am

sprite

about 12 years now

4:53 am

puglet

maybe Fang is there getting all that stuff :)

4:54 am

sprite

lol wouldn't that be great! Little does she know it is the very last time she will have any say in anything there.

4:54 am

puglet

are jobs hard to get there? They are here right now and have been for a few years

4:54 am

sprite

yes, they are. Not easy to get another job.

4:57 am

puglet

I miss working sometimes---not to brag, but I wasent one to miss unless I just had too and most of the time I gave it my all(but I did have a few days I didnt)

4:57 am

sprite

sounds like you were a wonderful employee, pug.

4:59 am

puglet

we learned to work at home and I think that help alot.

5:03 am

sprite

yes it does. So did we. A lot of Rob's clients have parents who are getting a benefit and all they know is the unemployed way of living. And the mentality of why work when you can get money for nothing.

5:04 am

puglet

reset

5:05 am

sprite

did I ever tell you that sometimes he has to take such a boy to the shops and buy an alarm clock for him and explain to him how they work??

5:05 am

puglet

thats awful!

5:06 am

sprite

yes. Quite a lack of parenting. Or at least that is how I think about it. Basic skills each person should be taught.

5:06 am

puglet

its about the same here too Sprite--most of the youth knows little about labor and I bet most have never had a blister on their hands either

5:07 am

sprite

we tried to raise our children differently. And we still do. At least they both have a little job now outside school hours, and they work it diligently.

puglet

I think its the time of the electronic world

5:08 am

puglet

thats very good Sprite

5:09 am

sprite

partly. And most of these recent generations never knew real hardship or problems in staying alive. Plus the outlook on the world is not a positive one. Hard to stay motivated, maybe.

5:09 am

puglet

did you have to work while at home with your parents

5:09 am

puglet

that maybe very true Sprite

5:10 am

sprite

my parents divorced when I was 6 or 7. From then on I had to take over a lot of household task, because my mother couldn't cope. And when I reached the age I was allowed to work, I started working outdoors too, outside school hours.

5:11 am

puglet

My sister(the one who has not spoken to me since the deal with Gradyn) sent me a letter and a return letter wanting me to fill in what I know of my family.Shes wanting to put together a family tree.

5:11 am

sprite

and when I was studying, I cleaned houses to pay for my study.

5:12 am

sprite

lol, she is nuts. If she is not speaking to you, there is no reason to be writing you a 'letter' about something she wants you to do for her.

5:12 am

puglet

My dad was disabled most of my youth and if we wanted anything we worked.

5:14 am

sprite

same with our children. I am on a tiny benefit and Rob's salary just covers the basics and for things like the children's sports and hobbies. Everything extra needs to be earned.

5:14 am

puglet

now since that deal with the boy she has not only not spoken to me but the other sisters and she has sent us all one of these

5:14 am

sprite

what are you going to do with it, pug?

5:15 am

puglet

right now its in my desk drawer and I dont know

5:15 am

sprite

family issues are always hard to decide upon. We care too much, maybe.

5:16 am

puglet

I kind of feel like doing it and going in person to hand it to her instead of hiding behind the postal service

5:17 am

sprite

wow! Sounds like a plan. Though she may hurt you a lot by rejecting your peace offer. Can you handle that, should it happen?

5:18 am

puglet

of course! Its not the first time us girls have had spats---they know me--Iam bold and honest to a fault--lol

5:19 am

sprite

awesome, pug! You 'feel' so strong and clear to me. I really feel like something has changed in you. As if your power is flowing back into you after a long time where you couldn't really access it.

5:20 am

puglet

Sprite--I hate how I have let Walker make me feel about myself! How I ever let this happen I dont know

5:21 am

sprite

awww my dog is in the grid today

5:21 am

puglet

right now as we speak He is cleaning up in the house to advoid me--lol---

5:22 am

sprite

oh dear. Is that a male thing, I wonder? My husband, on the rare occasion when we are having a fight and he knows he is in the wrong, always starts cleaning the house.

5:22 am

puglet

so are you, but you are scrambled about in it

5:22 am

sprite

lol indeed, how apt. Scrambled me.

5:23 am

puglet

lol---must be

5:25 am

puglet

Ive got a station on that is playing old rock and roll from the 50's---I just love that music

5:25 am

grannyrose

cooee, late flip for me. have been out for dinner at an absolutely yummy italian bar and grill.how are my darlings tonight?

5:25 am

puglet

(((ROSE))) I missed you

5:26 am

sprite

oh me too! My whole late teens and all twenties I went out with my group of friends, and they were all into rock 'n' roll. We did a lot of 50s style things... like dancing and dressing and checking out oldtimer cars etc.

5:26 am

puglet

so happy you got out and got to paint the town red--lol

5:26 am

grannyrose

pugs, all i can say is th4 you must have lousy throwing arm th4..lol

5:26 am

sprite

hiya rose, I already told pug you were ok, even if you weren't online :) How lovely that you had an awesome dinner. Glad to see you. And I am fine.

5:26 am

grannyrose

there's a lot of me to miss...

5:27 am

sprite

the defect it not in her throwing arm, rose. She just has a too kind he5 :)

5:27 am

grannyrose

so what have i missed? tell granny all.

5:27 am

puglet

maybe so but I bet you give great hugs

5:28 am

grannyrose

hmmm, shall i ask don?

5:28 am

sprite

yep. He is the best judge of that.

5:28 am

puglet

well my snake has slithered home and is now housecleaning to advoid me

5:29 am

sprite

oh and tell rose about your decisions and the possibility for getting financial support too!

5:29 am

grannyrose

lolol...all i got back from him was a laconic ' yup '.

5:30 am

grannyrose

what?? pugs?? you are going to stand firm...i am so proud of you, hun

5:30 am

puglet

I think I may get paid for caring for my sister and when he can face me Iam giving him until spring to find him a new home

5:30 am

sprite

hehehe that says enough, rose

5:30 am

sprite

isn't she amazing, rose? So strong and clear?

5:30 am

grannyrose

oh, pugs, that's amazing news...and sprite and i are going to hold you firm to th4.

5:31 am

puglet

right now I cant do much until I find extra help--but I got the wheels in motion

5:31 am

grannyrose

* thrusts already ample chest out even further* that's my friend puglet. he4 her roar!!!

5:32 am

sprite

and don't fall for the pity parties he may throw, pug?

5:33 am

grannyrose

or the wounded male ego...watch out for th4 one...

5:33 am

puglet

oh believe me I wont---have heard all the promises written in that book

5:34 am

sprite

yay! You'll keep firm then. It is not as if you didn't give him a chance (or a 1000) or didn't try. You did more than your part.

5:36 am

grannyrose

yay for pugs, she desrves the hugs...{{{H U G S }}}}

5:37 am

puglet

and Rose my sister that stopped speaking to me over the deal with Gradyn sent me and all my other sisters a letter and a return envelope wanting me to fill in what I know of the family for shes wanting to put together a family tree

5:37 am

puglet

and thanks Rose and Sprite

5:38 am

grannyrose

oh, and i wish you two had been there at my doctor's appointment today. ( GP, not surgeon) she nearly fell off her chair, laughing at the idea of my returning to work on the 20th this month, doing 5 x 4 hour shifts.

5:38 am

puglet

and how are you doing and what about the swelling

5:38 am

grannyrose

oh, pugs, th4 is wonderful. the door has opened a crack, praise God.

5:38 am

sprite

yayyyy for your GP. Right she is. No chance in hell you are going to ruin the effects of the operation that way. Health and safety first now!

5:39 am

grannyrose

swelling under control, stockings are doing the trick.

5:39 am

sprite

ah wonderful, rose. You sure 'sound' a little better too.

5:39 am

puglet

I was telling Sprite, I feel like taking it to her in person and not hide behind the postal service

5:40 am

puglet

and what about the blues and the knee

5:40 am

sprite

our pug prefers her sister going postal over the postal service

5:40 am

grannyrose

pugs, whatever God plants in your he5 to do, hun.

5:41 am

puglet

she and her hubby both work for the postal servie, dont know if I told you guys that

5:41 am

sprite

no, didn't know that. Interesting.

5:42 am

grannyrose

blues seem to be abating. a little teary now and again. the knee?? doc and i had a good discussion about pain. she has upped the ante with the slow-release tabs, hoping to bring me down off the quick-release tabs. and th4's okay by me.

5:42 am

puglet

sometimes Rose Iam confuse if Iam heeding Gods advice or what Iam wanting---I try being careful on that

5:43 am

puglet

is that med whats causing the blues

5:43 am

grannyrose

pugs, whenever you ask, ask in His name. the response which comes, is from Him.

5:43 am

sprite

oh very good, rose. Progress there too. And being teary is normal in your situation. Just cry all the tears that need to be cried now. Saves you a lot of trouble later on :)

5:44 am

puglet

crying is a way to get rid of excess water--lol--isnt it?

5:44 am

Lizlin

Hi again :)

5:44 am

grannyrose

hun, i think the blues are mostly unrelieved grief. yes, the meds can make you teary, but so does the pain. it's a very fine li4.

5:44 am

sprite

or check where you feel it in your body, pug. If it is in the belly or the head, it is ego speaking. Not necessarily wrong either, btw. If you feel it in your heart, it is God.

5:44 am

sprite

lol pug!

5:45 am

grannyrose

g'day liz

5:45 am

puglet

rehi Liz

Lizlin

5:46 am

grannyrose

but i know what sprite meant, and didn't take offence.

5:46 am

Lizlin

I almost said (sang) that!

5:46 am

sprite

goes on and off, pug. Bloodtests were ok, nothing there to explain it. Have to make an appt with the dermatologist next. Not sure why my doc thinks that is the way to go about this. But trusting her judgment.

5:47 am

puglet

I know too. Sprite is to kind for words like that towards friends

5:47 am

sprite

*speaking very primly* Would you guys please note the comma?? Remember the panda bear who eats, shoots and leaves!

5:47 am

grannyrose

brb, meds need to be got ready...

5:47 am

puglet

that is an odd doc to go to for that

5:48 am

Lizlin

Love it!

5:49 am

puglet

Liz got a full tummy now and will have to retire soon--lol

5:49 am

sprite

5:49 am

Lizlin

I thought of your dog today in the grid!

5:49 am

Lizlin

Yummy - salmon cooked in soy, honey and 5 spice. With crispy skin!

Weird, Rose! Or just extremely good taste!

5:55 am

sprite

5:55 am

wvteach

g'day granny and liz and all

5:56 am

Lizlin

Sounds like you had a good evening out, Rose.

5:57 am

grannyrose

5:58 am

sprite

nope, that is the one that ends in the first two letters of your name, rose. I have that one.

5:58 am

sprite

5:58 am

Lizlin

Thanks again.

5:58 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!!

5:58 am

sprite

hiya Scrabs!

5:58 am

Lizlin

Congrats, Sprite :)

5:58 am

Lizlin

Hi Scrabs

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Sprite, I thought of you yesterday when this happened. I collect "quarters"--25 cent coins (and other coins) in a container, grabbed some, and discovered that one was a Nederland coin!

5:59 am

grannyrose

ooohhh, scrabs, long ti4, no see. how are you, hun?

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Doing fine here, enjoying winter--cross-country skiing whenever I can.

5:59 am

sprite

oh yes! How lovely, Scrabs. I still miss the old money. It was so nice to measure in quarts. The eu4 has 20 cents pieces, alas.

6:00 am

sprite

and the coin you have is called a 'kwartje' which means 'little quarter'.

6:00 am

puglet

back and sugars were good-----Hi scrabbler

6:00 am

grannyrose

*sigh* scrabs, one day i will ski...but maybe i shouldn't?

6:01 am

Scrabbler

Somehow it was confused with US quarters and I found it. I was so excited.

6:01 am

puglet

yeah Rose --sitting on a ski board

6:01 am

Lizlin

Don't recommend it Rose. My friend damaged her knee skiing and you don't need more damage!

6:01 am

grannyrose

lolol, pugs...

6:01 am

Lizlin

It's fun skiing - I've been once but I didn't get the bug!

6:01 am

Scrabbler

We get lots of Canadian coins here as we are close to the border, but a Dutch coin!

6:02 am

sprite

we used to have a 2.5 gulden coin too, and a paper bill of 25 and 250 gulden.

6:02 am

puglet

well thats the safest route to go

6:02 am

Scrabbler

Cross-country skiing is not so risky.

6:02 am

grannyrose

but wouldn't it be the ultimate achievement?

6:02 am

sprite

it really traveled a ways to find you, Scrabs

6:02 am

Lizlin

It would be awesome - I want to travel on a dog sled.

6:03 am

Lizlin

But not right behind the dogs!!!!

6:03 am

puglet

oh me too Liz

6:03 am

grannyrose

i mean...i couldn't ski before the surgery, but i can after..what an amazing surgeon....lolol

6:04 am

sprite

lolol rose, silly!

6:04 am

grannyrose

*giggle*

6:04 am

puglet

I cant see Don letting you be so reckless at all

6:04 am

Lizlin

Real achievement! lol

6:04 am

sprite

oh, I know! I am gonna make a puzzle from the old dutch gulden money. It was so beautiful and colourful.

6:05 am

Lizlin

That will be a lovely puzzle.

6:05 am

Lizlin

Your hands look like fun too.

6:05 am

puglet

6:06 am

6:06 am

Lizlin

6:07 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, liz. looking back at your comment about sprite and punctuation, etc. i think she must cringe every-ti4 she sees me. have no use for capitals, except in reference to God.

6:07 am

crosshair

you do, scrabbs?? do you have a Canadian 1948 silver dollar in your jar of Canadian loot?

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Canadian paper money is so colorful and beautiful!

6:07 am

Lizlin

It's so practical! Especially here, where there's such a beach culture!

6:08 am

grannyrose

well, hellooo crossy. ( take th4 as yodeled)

6:08 am

Lizlin

LOL Rose. The English teacher comes out in me, when I'm not rushing to chat.

6:08 am

sprite

*giggles* Oh yes, rose, I cringe and cringe, lol. Good think I love you so much :P

6:08 am

puglet

Crossy has some puzzles coming for us that we will have to wear sunglasses

6:08 am

Lizlin

Sounds like fun! I put a new one up today, Crossy.

6:09 am

crosshair

6:09 am

Scrabbler

I will look, Crossy--I jave a few jars of Canadian coins.

6:09 am

sprite

Liz's newest one is of ice. Very very pretty.

6:09 am

crosshair

if you do find one, let me know

6:09 am

puglet

I havent seen that one yet

6:09 am

Lizlin

Thought those cold Canadians and Americans would relate to that!

6:10 am

crosshair

as it has a bit of numismatic value to it:))

6:10 am

Lizlin

Ssssh! Don't mention Polar Vortex!

6:10 am

crosshair

indeed, liz, but we would be lost without our winters

6:10 am

Lizlin

Hint for ze 6 pretty please!

6:10 am

Scrabbler

I need to come up to visit you, with my kayak and jars of Canadian coins, Crossy!

6:10 am

puglet

Rose,look at my writing--you get a A plus next to mine

6:11 am

crosshair

lol@ polar vortex. to us it is just a real honest old fashioned winter

6:11 am

sprite

just found out that a golden ten gulden coin I own is worth about 250 - 300 eu4 now. Not a fortune, but still a lot of money. Think I will hold on to it for now :)

6:11 am

grannyrose

oh, crossy, a bit like our 1930 penny, huh?

6:11 am

sprite

ze + we will meet ** my place + not out.

6:11 am

Lizlin

Sure but the weather forecasters love to make everything dramatic!

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Sprite

6:12 am

Lizlin

Thanks, Rose. Was nowhere close to it!

6:12 am

crosshair

indeed, granny. in any collecting in any country there are always several 'key" dates to watch for

6:12 am

grannyrose

aww, pugs, i love your writing, simply because it comes from you.

6:12 am

Lizlin

Definitely keep it Sprite. Who knows what it might be worth in the future?

6:13 am

grannyrose

ummm, sprite, liz. yes, i know we are interchangeable, but...

6:13 am

Scrabbler

TY for the Z clue, Sprite. I wondered why I couldn't find it--new word for me.

6:13 am

sprite

indeed. It was a present from my grandparents when they were married for 50 years.

6:13 am

puglet

it might make you a millionaire one day

6:13 am

sprite

it has been in earlier grids, Scrabs, but not often. It is certainly a weird one.

6:14 am

sprite

it is a poison in certain greens, I think

6:14 am

Lizlin

Sorry, Rose. I can tell the difference! You speak with an Aussie accent!

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Haha

6:14 am

sprite

lol pug! No, it is not that rare a coin. Still, a nice idea to have that kind of money sitting quietly here.

6:14 am

Lizlin

Thanks, Sprite!!! LOL!

6:14 am

grannyrose

it's a plant hormone

6:14 am

sprite

lol yvw ;)

Frozen to it, you mean?

6:18 am

puglet

6:18 am

rubyfoo

I've collected mint contition staps, both plate blocks and sheets, for many years I always thought they were Worth a lot of money and, one day, my son and I checked on the interenet. They areworth not very much above face value.

6:18 am

crosshair

no, it gave us a day off after that 3 day blizzard and 3 feet of snow

6:18 am

rubyfoo

stamps*

6:19 am

sprite

aw what a shame, ruby

6:19 am

puglet

thats good you get a break from all that shoveling

6:19 am

rubyfoo

today, it feels like spring -- a bad sign for the fruit trees. They will probably bud and then get frozen

6:19 am

sprite

*sending a hug and a ray of sunshine to o-o*

6:19 am

Lizlin

But did you enjoy collecting them?

6:19 am

rubyfoo

at least thy are beautiful and some belonged to my father who was also a collector.

6:20 am

puglet

Rose, are you starting to drift over there

6:20 am

Lizlin

Sentimental value is good.

6:20 am

Scrabbler

I must depart now and get ready for work. It is also garbage pick-up day so I have to bring everything to the end of the driveway. Bye, kids. Enjoy the day!

6:21 am

rubyfoo

hi and bye, scrabs

6:21 am

crosshair

ruby!! I have a stamp for you! it is on a post card from the RMS. Segwun, That steamship that the mrs and I had our anniversary dinner on? . As north Americas oldest and last official steam powered may ship, they are eagerly sought after for the very decorative counterstamp that the ships postmaster uses

6:21 am

puglet

Sprite is this a day you get to take for yourself

6:21 am

wvteach

hagd scrabs

6:21 am

6:21 am

puglet

bye Scrabs

6:22 am

sprite

wow crossy, sounds special

6:22 am

sprite

pug: it should be. But it looks like I have to go shopping. My love just emailed me he is gonna be late... talk with his boss about the nastiness earlier this week.

6:22 am

crosshair

well.we have our two from our special night,but it was so much fun that the mrs and I are going again this summer,so I will grab an extra one for ruby

6:23 am

rubyfoo

that sounds a lot like the "first day covers" that my dad used to collect, where the decoration is even better than the stamp!

6:23 am

puglet

and are they going to do something for him

6:23 am

crosshair

it is,ruby

6:23 am

Lizlin

Sigh, Sprite. Did he enjoy his day at home yesterday, though? And you?

6:23 am

wvteach

my DH used to collect those first day covers also

6:23 am

crosshair

what happened with your love at work, sprite??

6:24 am

puglet

are you up to shopping Sprite--you worry me sometimes

6:24 am

sprite

yes, he did, Liz. It was much needed. He didn't relish going back to work today either. He has had it with those lazy and insulting people.

6:24 am

Lizlin

It makes a workplace very unpleasant (or worse).

6:25 am

sprite

some stupid colleagues not doing their job, crossy, and when Rob said something about it, they said stuff like he could get cancer etc.

6:25 am

crosshair

mm, I see;(

6:25 am

Lizlin

It's so childish but very hurtful.

6:26 am

puglet

things like that could very well backfire on them

6:26 am

sprite

not really up to it, pug, but willing to pretend to be, lol. First, I must think of what to eat tonight.

6:26 am

rubyfoo

that is rotten, sprite

6:26 am

sprite

yes, very hurtful and so agressive. Not at all called for.

6:26 am

Lizlin

Follow in Rose and my footsteps, Sprite. Salmon!

6:26 am

sprite

Salmon! It is certainly an idea. Never cooked salmon myself though.

6:26 am

Lizlin

Are they younger than him - it just sounds like something someone young might say!

6:27 am

Lizlin

It's not difficult - you can fry, grill or microwave it.

6:27 am

sprite

no, they are his age, for crying out loud. Should know better.

6:27 am

grannyrose

sorry, people, was checking emails. sprite, mab asked to let you know th4 she is holding you in her prayers and he5, hun.

6:27 am

Lizlin

Idiots!

6:28 am

puglet

that would be very good for your sugar too Sprite

6:28 am

sprite

aw that is so sweet, rose! Thanks, mab *hugs*

6:28 am

sprite

true, pug. Ok... Liz, could I please have the recipe? It sure sounds delicious.

6:29 am

salmon....did someone say salmon?? my favourite fruit.

6:30 am

Lizlin

I just put soy, honey and 5 spice together, mix it and adjust to taste. Microwave 100g piece of salmon for 40 - 50 seconds on high power.

6:30 am

puglet

I thought chicken was yours Rose

6:30 am

grannyrose

and since we went to tasmania last year, don has been ordering it from the menu when we go out....and he doesn't like fish..but i'm not going to tell him.

6:30 am

Lizlin

marinade the salmon in it if possible but otherwise just cook it in the marinade.

6:30 am

sprite

ok Liz. I need to find a replacement for the 5spice though. That is not for sale here.

6:30 am

Lizlin

That's funny Rose.

6:30 am

sprite

marinade is possible... for a couple of hours?

6:31 am

Lizlin

Even 30 minutes.

6:31 am

grannyrose

hmmm, chicken...salmon...chicken...salmon..c\nan't make up my mind...i nearly had chicken risotto tonight...but decided on something i don't get a lot of at home.

6:31 am

sprite

awesome. Ok, that is what I am gonna do. And I will toss a wicked green salad to go with it.

6:32 am

Lizlin

Anything vaguely aniseed-ish for flavouring or just use soy and honey or perhaps a very small amount of ginger.

6:32 am

Lizlin

We have salmon once or twice a week. We both love it.

6:32 am

grannyrose

hmmm, wondering if customs will let me send you some, sprite. it is the most amazing flavour.

6:33 am

Lizlin

Let me know how it goes, please. Hope you enjoy it.

6:33 am

sprite

ah, found it. I have the separate spices or can get them.

6:33 am

Lizlin

I'm surprised it's not on sale there. I used to buy it in England too.

6:33 am

grannyrose

i use it when i make special fried rice.

6:33 am

sprite

would be awesome, rose, but probably would cost a lot more to send than it is worth :)

6:33 am

Lizlin

Or in other stir fries.

6:34 am

wvteach

what is in the 5 spice

6:34 am

grannyrose

nah...if it makes my sprite happy, it's worth every cent...

6:34 am

Lizlin

could send it in the refill packets rather than in jars.

6:34 am

grannyrose

th4's what i was thinking, liz.

6:34 am

sprite

star anise, cloves, cinnamon, sichuan pepper and fennel

6:35 am

sprite

aw rose, you are the sweetest. *hugs* Such a sweet thing to say.

6:35 am

puglet

how do you know what you can or cant send in the mail

6:35 am

grannyrose

over to sprite to answer teach's question. i just love the flavour.

6:35 am

sprite

to aussie it is simple, pug... almost nothing is accepted, lol.

6:35 am

Lizlin

cinnamon 33 %, star anise 20 % cloves 20 % fennel 14 % and 4% pepper

6:36 am

Lizlin

Read off the jar - proportions would be important I guess.

6:36 am

puglet

like black pepper Liz or chilli peppers

6:36 am

sprite

indeed, thanks Liz, that is good to know.

6:36 am

Lizlin

I think black pepper, pugs. It doesn't specify.

6:37 am

sprite

no, it is not a 'real; pepper, pug. It is szechuan pepper

6:37 am

Lizlin

I think black pepper would substitute if you couldn't get Szechuan pepper.

6:38 am

Lizlin

Might change the flavour slightly. I'd've thought you could get it in the city, Sprite - next time you're there.

6:38 am

puglet

Sprite, do you street shop there

6:39 am

Lizlin

So many Indonesian restaurants there - the spices would be similar.

6:39 am

sprite

will try, Liz. Google isn't giving me any addresses, but who knows. But I can get all the separate spices and you have given me the ratio, so I am all good.

6:39 am

sprite

pug, what do you mean street shop?

6:40 am

grannyrose

okay, it's after 11:30pm here. this is the latest i have been up since forever. love you all, hope you all have wonderful days/nights. see you at the flip

6:40 am

Lizlin

Lots of luck. Yeah, the ra 5 - without commas!

6:40 am

Lizlin

Sleep well Rose. Hugs.

6:40 am

puglet

having venders set up on the sidewalks

6:40 am

sprite

very glad you were with us, rose, and even happier that you are going upwards in how you feel. Love and *hugs* and sleep well.

6:40 am

rubyfoo

mai is almost sent, rosie

6:40 am

puglet

Night Rose--love and hugs

6:41 am

grannyrose

*poof*

6:41 am

sprite

oh yes, pug, we do. I will try and get the 5spice on the Albert Cuyp, our famous street market in Amsterdam. If anywhere, that is where I will find it. But for now, I will mix myself.

6:42 am

sprite

so, Liz... as side dishes... rice? And a salad? Would that be ok?

6:42 am

Lizlin

http://tinyurl.com/m6z4o - recipe for 5 spice

6:43 am

puglet

that is so cool, Sprite...only seen shopping like that on tv or in the summer with farmers setting up booths in town

6:43 am

Lizlin

That would be yummy - though tonight we had spinach.

6:44 am

sprite

we really need to get you over to Holland some day, pug. You will love the market.

6:44 am

puglet

and dont forget the train---got to ride it too

6:45 am

Lizlin

I think you're right, Sprite. I think Pugs would love not only the market but the canals, the gabled houses, the windmills etc. etc. It's a great place.

6:45 am

sprite

we would take the train and street car to get to the market. No parking there, so the car isn't practical.

6:45 am

puglet

by the time that will happen I will have to walk with a walker

6:45 am

sprite

I feel this strong urge to become filthy rich, all of a sudden. I'd invite you all over and we'd have a lovely time!

6:46 am

Lizlin

That would be real fun!

6:46 am

puglet

Have you been there Liz

6:46 am

Lizlin

One of us will have to win the lottery!

6:46 am

Lizlin

Yes - my hubby and I went there for 4 days back in 2004 - our first holiday together!

6:47 am

puglet

did you get to meet Sprite

6:47 am

Lizlin

We lived in England then.

6:47 am

puglet

ahh how nice Liz

6:47 am

Lizlin

No, I've only known Sprite since I joined babble in 2012.

6:48 am

Lizlin

It was lovely but we went in February and froze!

6:48 am

sprite

or one of my books should become a bestseller.

6:48 am

puglet

who knows you guys may have had passed and didnt know--lol

6:48 am

Lizlin

A more likely option!

6:49 am

Lizlin

Perhaps we did!

6:49 am

sprite

we might have, pug, lol. Am sorry to have missed the opportunity to meet Liz.

6:49 am

puglet

its just a matter of time for that to come true Sprite

6:49 am

rubyfoo

I just got a phone call from a telemarketer who couldn't speak either English or French intelligibly

6:49 am

rubyfoo

aack

6:49 am

Lizlin

Me too. Perhaps one day ...

6:50 am

sprite

wow... my son is home between hours from school, and he just made me a cup of coffee without even asking. Isn't that something?

6:50 am

sprite

argh ruby.

6:50 am

Lizlin

Progress, Sprite!

6:50 am

rubyfoo

that is really nice, sprite

6:50 am

puglet

lol Ruby---did you get what he was selling

6:50 am

Lizlin

I hate that, Ruby.

6:50 am

rubyfoo

no idea. Usually, I just say "I'm sorry, I don't speak French" but this guy was trying to speak English

6:51 am

puglet

dont fall over Sprite! but that was very nice of him to do for you

6:51 am

Lizlin

My hubby is so funny talking to tele-marketers! He leads them on, especially if it's about the computer having a virus and finally he tells them what he thinks of them!

6:51 am

puglet

You are nicer then I Ruby--soon as I know its one of them I hang up

6:51 am

rubyfoo

I try not to be rude but hang up as soon as I determine that it's someone I don't know

6:52 am

Lizlin

He tried to sell one a phone - the guy was trying to sell him a phone, he told another that "his wife had swallowed a rat and was vomitting, so he couldn't speak" etc. etc.

6:52 am

rubyfoo

I'm off to the lawyer now, kids, hope to see you later

6:52 am

rubyfoo

*woof*

6:52 am

puglet

they will call here clear up until 8 or 9 pm

6:52 am

Lizlin

Have a good day, Ruby - hugs.

6:52 am

sprite

ohhhh Liz! My husband does the same thing. He asks them what brand of toothpaste they use, and if they don't want to answer, he goes "But don't you think your teeth are important?" and if they do answer he goes on asking why that brand, and why not another, until they get fed up and hang up on him.

6:52 am

puglet

bye Ruby

6:52 am

sprite

bye ruby, best wishes

6:53 am

Lizlin

My hubby likes that idea, Sprite! Me too!

6:53 am

sprite

*giggles* It always makes me squirm, it is so bad. But so funny.

6:54 am

Lizlin

Someone tried to sell us a stair-lift, so he told them we lived in a cave.

6:55 am

sprite

ok, off with me. Things to do, groceries to buy, spices to mix, dinner to cook. I hope it turns out ok :) Bye all, have a peaceful evening and a blessed day, and thanks for being there *hugs*

6:55 am

For those who enjoy playing with the jigsaw puzzles on jigidi.com, I have put 3 more amazing puzzles up for your enjoyment. They are called Mountain Stream , Snowy fence and Snowshoes required. I hope you enjoy them. The Mrs. and I took these pictures just today.

3:53 pm

Most of them start with ar+vowel

DR1965

5:22 pm

DR1965

Jakester has it too but not as bad anymore

5:31 pm

Scrabbler

I just proved again that I am a moron. I checked on the frozen pizza cooking in the oven and discovered that I am cooking the pizza WITH the cardboard bottom underneath.

5:32 pm

Bugsaw

I did that too once, Scrabbler. It didn't cook in the middle

5:33 pm

Scrabbler

I was slicing the pizza and realized the middle was uncooked and then I saw the cardboard. I am a doofus.

5:34 pm

Bugsaw

but you are not alone in doofushood

5:38 pm

Soodle

All hail doofushood! I've had an interesting evening. My chimney caught fire & I had to call the fire service. Eight (8) burly firemen arrived. Goes without saying I was just out of the bath, sans make-up & that rat-tail hair-do.... The good news is that they put the fire out. I'm on brandy #2 as I type.

5:38 pm

Anniebrook

I have it...mo9, its a plural...to make cash, uses the high tile

5:39 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, geez, Soodle! That is scary!

5:39 pm

Anniebrook

oh soodle, glad you are okay. enjoy the brandy.

5:39 pm

Bugsaw

5:39 pm

Oh dear, soodle. Get any chunky numbers?

5:39 pm

Anniebrook

I was in NY all day, came back in the afternoon, went out again, started the gird, went out and came back to finish. Fireworks

5:40 pm

Scrabbler

And I avoided an oven fire.

5:40 pm

Anniebrook

and I avoided a fire by not cooking.

5:41 pm

DR1965

glad you are ok Soodle.

5:41 pm

Soodle

Thanks, folks. It was scary. My daughters were here, recording the whole thing on snap-chat! 'Hey everybody - guess what? Our house is in fire' sheesh

5:41 pm

lbdawger

Whooo hooo, Annie

5:41 pm

Bugsaw

when I was a teenager we lived where there was snow on the roof and we had a chimney fire on Christmas Eve. It was so much fun on Christmas day to see the kids faces following the footprints to the chimey on the morning!

5:41 pm

Soodle

Aw, cute, Bugs. :-)

5:42 pm

Bugsaw

my sister and I were in the bathroom doing our hair because we knew the burly firemen were coming. My mother was acting like a crazy woman

5:42 pm

crosshair

that creosote sneaks up on you:(

5:42 pm

Bugsaw

the firemen never came back

5:43 pm

crosshair

lol,your house was on fire and you and your sister were in the bathroom getting all dolled up to be ready for the firemen when they arrived?? lol

5:43 pm

MollyL

*HIres several chefs for appropriate kitchens. Sends a chimney sweep to Soodle's house*

5:43 pm

Soodle

We live in the back end of nowhere. No house numbers or area codes. Yet, it only took 14 minutes for the firemen to arrive. Not bad.

5:44 pm

Bugsaw

that is why our mother was acting like a crazy woman crossy

5:44 pm

Scrabbler

Alright, my pizza is now fully baked without the cardboard underneath.

5:44 pm

crosshair

A Soodles as lucky as lucky can be...

5:47 pm

Soodle

Not much point, Bugs, if none of my neighbours have a house number. Number 25, Ballygobackwards is not much use if theres no 24 or 26!

5:48 pm

Bugsaw

it is if you are only looking for 25 Soodle. depends on how you look at it

5:50 pm

Soodle

True! Anyway, brandy #2 seems to have evaporated (!), so I'll head off to bed. 'Nite all.

5:51 pm

5:54 pm

crosshair

just teasing. back in the day, we were so far in the boonies, all we had was general delivery and had to drive to the post office for all of our mail

5:54 pm

Lizlin

Hi all :)

5:54 pm

Bugsaw

Soodle lives in the country crossy. by the time the mail comes everyone on the street already knows what is in it

Hi Bichon in California!

That seems to be the trend Scrabs

5:56 pm

bichon

hi Scrabs, crossy, Bugs, Liz

5:56 pm

crosshair

indeed scrabs. I keep forgetting bout those things

5:56 pm

Bugsaw

Canada is going to make everyone have a central box like that Scrabbler. The elderly and disabled are upset

5:56 pm

Lizlin

Hi bichon - hope you're having a good holiday.

5:57 pm

bichon

Visiting with grandkids and enjoying some milder weather

5:57 pm

Lizlin

Both good things to be doing ;)

5:58 pm

crosshair

i can understand it somewhat, bugsaw. was on a snow packed mountain road today and this particular spur is about 5 miles long but only has two year round residents on it so the poor mailman has to drive 10 miles of bad road to deliver to two houses!

5:59 pm

periwinkle

help with 2nd pe5/12 pls

5:59 pm

Lizlin

Sorry :(

5:59 pm

6:01 pm

she did indeed

6:01 pm

crosshair

perfect execution

6:01 pm

crosshair

i give it a 9.6

6:01 pm

Lizlin

I can only wish to be that proficient at it.

6:01 pm

Scrabbler

A perfect 10 from all of the judges. The crowd is wild!

6:01 pm

periwinkle

*curtsies*

6:02 pm

Bugsaw

I agree with "somewhat" but do worry about the elderly and disabled. Our mailbox is 1 kilometre away and the old man with the hip transplant that didn't quite take would never get his mail

6:02 pm

Scrabbler

Brava! Brava!

6:02 pm

periwinkle

that is a worry re the elderly and disabled

6:02 pm

Bugsaw

love that Peri maneuver!

6:03 pm

periwinkle

:)

6:03 pm

crosshair

he must leave the house sometime though,bugsaw. those who have difficulty will have to let it like up till they are going out for something else anyways

6:03 pm

crosshair

let it pile up for a few days*

6:03 pm

crosshair

though i understand the difficulties

6:05 pm

Bugsaw

true but it means he has to trust people for absolutely everything now. it is disheartening

6:05 pm

crosshair

it can be very hard:((

6:06 pm

Bugsaw

are you mocking me crossy for caring about the sick people? Ha! I will fart in your general direction!

6:07 pm

Bugsaw

(insult curtesy of MontyPython, not real)

6:07 pm

crosshair

i would never mock you,bugsaw

6:07 pm

periwinkle

haha, Bugs

6:08 pm

Bugsaw

peri got it, I feel better for saying it ;)

6:08 pm

crosshair

ewww, a fart attack

6:08 pm

Lizlin

Also a Python fan and got it :)

6:08 pm

periwinkle

I must remember to use that line sometime, Bugs, it made me lol.

6:09 pm

MollyL

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

6:09 pm

6:09 pm

I didn't know you guys were kidding around

6:09 pm

crosshair

of course, bichon;)

6:10 pm

bichon

just jumping in here and saw bubs' comment and didn't know from whence it came

6:10 pm

Bugsaw

I am glad I explained then bichon. Not everyone knows Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail. as soon as I heard it, it became my favourite insult

6:10 pm

Lizlin

Just a flesh wound ...

6:10 pm

crosshair

bugsaw, may the bird of paradice fly up your nose and may an elephant caress you with his toes

6:11 pm

Bugsaw

we are all friends here bichon and sometimes we tease each other in good fun

6:11 pm

bichon

I really have to see that movie

6:11 pm

bichon

I know that

6:12 pm

Bugsaw

I wonder if people coming in in the middle of a session like that is what caused some people to become disillusioned a while ago. I apologize if I was part of it.

6:12 pm

Scrabbler

I am joining a bridge club with some friends. Does anyone have some good websites to receommend? This is a new venture for me.

6:13 pm

bichon

Know nothing about bridge

6:13 pm

crosshair

One fine day as I was walking down the street
I spied a beggar man with rags upon his feet
Took a penny from my pocket in his tin cup I did drop it
And I heard him say as I made my retreat:

May the bird of paradise fly up your nose may an elephant caress you with it's toes
May your wife be plagued with runners in her hose
May the bird of paradise fly up your nose

My laundry man is really on his toes found a hundred dollar bill among my clothes
When he called me I came running gave him back his dime for phoning
And I heard him saying as I turned to go
May the bird of paradisee...

I was way behind one day to catch a train
The taxi driver said we'll make it just the same
A speed cop made it with us and as he wrote out the ticket
I stood by politely waitin' for my change

6:13 pm

periwinkle

maybe flosey or jillibus know some sites since they play bridge

6:13 pm

Scrabbler

No need to apologize. When you enter there is almost always an ongoing conversation.

6:14 pm

MollyL

"we are all friends here bichon and sometimes we tease each other in good fun"...that needs to be a sampler hanging on the wall here, just as a reminder

6:14 pm

Soodle

Donning gasmask to make one final foray.....crossy, our mailman knows who lives where. We are lucky that we have an unusual surname. Pity the poor souls by the name of Murphy, Byrne or Walsh. Everybody gets to read each other's mail.... Bank statements, love letters everything! Repoof

6:14 pm

crosshair

if that little bit of fun was enough to sour someone on babble forever,then they do not have the thick skin needed for some of the session that happen

6:14 pm

Lizlin

Sorry to read about the fire Soodle but glad you're all OK.

6:15 pm

bichon

I can't believe the Post Office returns mail if it's sent to the wrong Zip Code.

6:15 pm

periwinkle

6:15 pm

Lizlin

In England the post code is very specific to a couple of houses - here it covers a huge area!

When Peri does 'a Peri', all is right with the world. It's like a comfort blanket!

6:18 pm

periwinkle

thanks stidgmere but hardly. lots of people finish and much faster than me

6:18 pm

stidgmere

So, Soodle, what happened?

6:18 pm

MollyL

*Scatters incense and bows in Peri's general direction*

6:18 pm

bichon

Soodle, you had a fire at your house?

6:18 pm

periwinkle

aww, I am feeling special tonight.

6:18 pm

stidgmere

You are special Peri. Just like everyone else in Babble.

6:19 pm

crosshair

did you know,there are several types of "peris" ?? if it happens in 10 seconds or less that is called a whiplash peri. any peri that is from 10 seconds to 45 seconds is a standard peri and and anything from 45 seconds to 59 seconds is a just in under the wire peri

6:19 pm

Bugsaw

Soodle's story is at 5:28. She is supposed to be in bed now

6:19 pm

periwinkle

I was not aware of that crossy

6:19 pm

6:19 pm

Haha, crossy

6:19 pm

6:20 pm

I want to judge the ski jumping. One down, two down, three down and so on. I can do that.

6:20 pm

Soodle

A pretty dramatic chimney fire. I have an aga stove in the kitchen & all of a sudden, a scary whooshing noise started coming out of it. I went outdoors & saw flames coming out of the chimney, so I called 999.

6:21 pm

Bugsaw

hahaha stidgmere

Chimney fires make astonishing sounds. Makes you believe in banshees.

6:22 pm

What's an aga?

6:22 pm

MollyL

It's a wood stove Bich

6:23 pm

bichon

Ok, always learning something new here.

6:23 pm

bichon

Hin for the 9, pls

6:23 pm

6:25 pm

And, yikes, mine did some howling this evening. I burn turf in it Gmere.

6:26 pm

bichon

Like grass?

6:26 pm

stidgmere

Ah. We saw turf drying by cottages when we visited Ireland. We were there in the fall and the blue skies rivaled Seattle's and I understand occur about as often.

6:28 pm

crosshair

for those who are interested in these beautiful aga's , here is the web site: http://tinyurl.com/olxfzeo

6:29 pm

Soodle

Bich. I'm going to put my email address in my profile. Will you email me with your postal address & I will send you some turf/peat. Its not grass. Its centuries old..... Bog stuff. Impossible to describe, it must be experienced.... Gmere knows!

6:30 pm

Scrabbler

Some are electric and gas.

6:31 pm

crosshair

yup

6:32 pm

Bugsaw

is it like the peat we buy to put on our gardens? I have always wondered

6:32 pm

i am partial to the 3 oven cooker gas model

6:34 pm

Soodle

O, to have a little house!
To own the hearth and stool and all!
The heaped up sods against the fire,
The pile of turf against the wall!
To have a clock with weights and chains
And pendulum swinging up and down!
A dresser filled with shining delph,
Speckled and white and blue and brown!
I could be busy all the day
Clearing and sweeping hearth and floor,
And fixing on their shelf again
My white and blue and speckled store!
I could be quiet there at night
Beside the fire and by myself,
Sure of a bed and loth to leave
The ticking clock and the shining delph!
Och! but I'm weary of mist and dark,
And roads where there's never a house nor bush,
And tired I am of bog and road,
And the crying wind and the lonesome hush!
And I am praying to God on high,
And I am praying Him night and day,
For a little house - a house of my own
Out of the wind's and the rain's way.

The peat smoke is one of the primal scents that make one glad to be alive.

Primal scents...what a great description

Bye Scrabbler/ I think my typing is deteriorating. Time for me to call it quits too. Goodnight all.

Soodle

I 'performed' that poem at a concert when I was about 8 or 9. I've always loved it. So, Gmere, if you were at my house this evening, you'd have been od'd on peat smoke. I thought our poot old budgie was a goner. But he lives to chirp another day!

Hi crossy. How are you today?

7:02 pm

Nef

reading back, you mentioned jigidi puzzles. I saw someone mentioned them the other day, so I went over there and have been hooked on doing the jigsaw puzzles.

7:03 pm

Nef

I did 2 or 3 of yours; the toughest one I've done (to date) is your picture of the ship (?) ferry?

what's with all the driving Ru? buying or selling?

7:13 pm

Dorens

my grandkids are getting a new whippet puppy next weekend

7:13 pm

Nef

Hi Dorens. How are you doing?

7:14 pm

rururocks

that will come in handy when they need a spanking

7:14 pm

Dorens

very excited, particularly since i'll be going with them to pick it up. oh ruuuuu!

7:14 pm

Dorens

we've all missed Calvin very muchâ€¦ he died in October, and this one has been picked outâ€¦ different look, but whippets are whippets

7:15 pm

lynxxx

They will have lots of fun with a whippet! Stewart had so much fun with them last week he broke a toe!

7:15 pm

Minveryork

Hello Dorens! How are you doing today? Welcome to grid.

7:16 pm

Dorens

they've never had a puppy beforeâ€¦ Calvin was already 5 or so before Phoebe was bornâ€¦ this should be so much fun

7:16 pm

Dorens

hi min good, and you?

7:16 pm

Dorens

how did he break his toe lyn?

7:17 pm

Minveryork

I'm well, but tired.Was up until 1:00 playing Candy Crush.

7:18 pm

lynxxx

He was leading a chase and did a sharp right hand turn (to avoid the fence)...greyhounds aren't as nimble/agile as whippets!

7:18 pm

Dorens

ah, they are a bit larger too

7:19 pm

rururocks

finally found my last h

7:20 pm

lynxxx

There is a group of up to 8 whippets that gather in the evenings at a local school...lots of tumbling and 'mouthing'...they are exhausting to watch

7:20 pm

rururocks

*drinking petite sirah and wrapping up the grid*

7:20 pm

Dorens

goodness. i still need 5â€¦ better get busy

7:20 pm

rururocks

that must be fun lynnx

7:20 pm

Dorens

i mean 5 h'sâ€¦ 65 altogether

7:20 pm

Dorens

i've never seen a group like that lynâ€¦ but when we go to pick up the puppy, i guess i will...

7:31 pm

lbdawger

hi everyone!

7:31 pm

lynxxx

hi Dawg

7:32 pm

lynxxx

I have been doing very badly with most of the grids lately, listing quite early

7:32 pm

rururocks

hello lbd

7:33 pm

rururocks

i went through a couple of weeks without listing too much but latley.. It's too hard

7:33 pm

Dorens

ruru is too smart for his own goodâ€¦ it catches up with him

7:34 pm

rururocks

the only thing smart about me is my ass

7:35 pm

Dorens

well, i won't go thereâ€¦. won't touch thatâ€¦. whatever clever words you want

7:36 pm

rururocks

good call doren :D

7:37 pm

Dorens

had a parent conference today with a truly insane man. have been dealing with him for seven years nowâ€¦ He is certifiable i think. and he won't listen to what anyone says â€¦ just rants and raves and highjacks the meetings. He is convinced his daughter needs no psychiatric helpâ€¦ it is shameful that he can do this. SHe was a selective mute since kindergarten, now morphing into anorexiaâ€¦ has lost 30 pounds

7:37 pm

rururocks

... get it smart ass.. ?

7:37 pm

Dorens

yes, ru, of course i got it## (my ass is big, not smartâ€¦ my only smarts are in my brain)

7:37 pm

rururocks

oh boy that's a problem parent

7:38 pm

lynxxx

oh my. and no mother around? or any other relative?

7:38 pm

Dorens

cps doesn't want to do anything, as long as she isn't being abused!

7:38 pm

rururocks

there always has to be one huh?

7:40 pm

Dorens

the mother is agoraphobic and afraid of him for the most partâ€¦ grandmother died last yearâ€¦ aunt used to always take care.. she and the dad had a major fight (yes, it got physical) and it has him unhinged and they have court orders against each other so the girl can't see auntie since november

7:40 pm

lynxxx

and starving herself to death and not talking isn't an indication of real issues - hardly a protective service

7:41 pm

lynxxx

poor kid - no wonder she has issues

7:41 pm

Dorens

absolutelyâ€¦ i will probably contact the supervisors next and let them knowâ€¦ we finally got in touch with the pediatrician today (since we conned him into signing a release of info document) and she herself had been thinking of calling them.

7:41 pm

lbdawger

good god. I sure hope someone advocates for the poor child.

7:41 pm

rururocks

why isn't the dad in jail?

7:42 pm

Dorens

i might miss this job when i'm retired next year

7:42 pm

Dorens

he hasn't "abused" her. done nothing to get him in jail

7:42 pm

lynxxx

Terrific work you do Dorens

7:42 pm

lbdawger

you'll miss most of the people, and certainly be glad not to be involved with others. :)

7:42 pm

rururocks

I meant the Aunt

7:44 pm

Dorens

he claims (and his wife corroborates) that the aunt "shoved" him first.. they are BOTH lunatics!! who knows what the truth is. he is not a physically violent man generally. just obnoxious narcissistic, manipulative, controlling and paranoid

7:44 pm

rururocks

sounds like a great guy

7:44 pm

lbdawger

but the wife is afraid of him, so of course she's going to side with him

7:45 pm

Dorens

the wife has such anxiety issues, and i finally was getting somewhere with her on the phone, she was going to try to get the girl to see her therapist, but he has squashed that and she doesn't return my calls anymore

7:46 pm

rururocks

sure about that abuser thing?

7:46 pm

lynxxx

How old is the girl?

7:47 pm

harpjane

Dorens, in Montana I would be required to report this to family services.

7:47 pm

Dorens

not sure, but mental abuse absolutely. girl is 12 now. selective mutism was her first problem and he refused to see it. now this kid went to our school for years barely speaking really. and if she decides she wants to starve herself, i really think she could.

7:47 pm

Dorens

i have repeatedly. called and asked for them to come to this meeting so they could see him in actionâ€¦ they have CLOSeD the case, harp

7:49 pm

Dorens

that's why i'm calling the supervisors division tomorrow. particularly since the pediatrician said she was alarmed also. and he refused today, laughed at me, when i said she needs immediate psychological care.. insists she has physical problems due to his sister giving her antibiotics when she didn't need them. now all she needs is probiotics..

7:50 pm

Dorens

pe 7/32 please (last one)

7:50 pm

lynxxx

and the pediatrician must be obliged to call them too surely?

7:50 pm

lbdawger

pe + a pair of mr. hawthornes

7:50 pm

rururocks

pe + a lot of mr hawthornes

7:50 pm

Dorens

ty both

7:51 pm

rururocks

you can't get ahead of me doren

7:51 pm

Dorens

the md said she had "thought" of calling them. don't know why she hadn't.

7:51 pm

rururocks

I had a lot less to go ..

7:51 pm

Dorens

no worries ru, i won't

7:51 pm

rururocks

ok whew

7:52 pm

Dorens

38 left and not thinking straight

7:52 pm

Dorens

got all riled up remembering that issue from today.

7:53 pm

harpjane

dorens, i just keep reporting it even if they aren't doing anything. they can't always tell the person who reports it what the whole story is.

7:53 pm

rururocks

oh... sorry.. but good for us to know

7:54 pm

rururocks

*bangs head on desk*

7:54 pm

Dorens

i know i'll be tied up half the day tomorrow working on it, but now that the md is on our side, i think i might get somewhere. unfortunately nj cps is loathe to do anything unless kids are being physically abused or outright neglect. crazy parents are another story

7:55 pm

lynxxx

I agree with Harp - and I would be calling the pediatrician - and aking her to report as well. She must have an even greater obligation to follow up on this than you have Dorens

7:56 pm

harpjane

fl6?

7:56 pm

lynxxx

34 left - all T. Ts kill me lately

7:56 pm

Dorens

today the nurse got to her . i only got that report shortly before i left. i am calling the doctor myself tomorrow and if i don't' get to speak with her first, i am going to the supervisor of the man i spoke with yesterday (who didn't want to come to this meeting today because they had "closed the case"). they are idiots

7:56 pm

lynxxx

f & not heavies

7:57 pm

harpjane

thanks!

7:58 pm

Dorens

good advice, tooâ€¦ thanks buds

7:58 pm

lbdawger

The girl is lucky to have someone like you caring about her. pooh on the cps that don't want to be bothered.

7:58 pm

lbdawger

biab, need a hot cuppa.

7:59 pm

Dorens

it is just so late in the gameâ€¦ she needed help back in kindergarten and we tried then. have been trying ever sinceâ€¦ but the anorexia will convince people i would think

7:59 pm

Dorens

lost 30 pounds since juneâ€¦ i mean, how obvious is that?

8:00 pm

rururocks

that's awful doren

8:00 pm

rururocks

they're just being stupid

8:00 pm

Nef

Dorens, that's terrible! That poor child!

8:01 pm

Dorens

i think you're right tooâ€¦ the MD should have called before..

8:02 pm

stidmama

Agreed. Some things need to be reported by multiple entitites, but it shouldn't take this many times.

8:02 pm

stidmama

hey all

8:02 pm

lynxxx

hi Stid

8:03 pm

rururocks

maybe the local papers?

8:03 pm

Dorens

hi stid. and yes, ru, i have thought of that but i'd need my principal's clearance first.. that is so political.

8:03 pm

Dorens

that is what i intend to threaten the supervisors with if they do nothing tomorrow

8:04 pm

Minveryork

Hello stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.

8:04 pm

stidmama

hello Min -- hello all!

8:05 pm

lynxxx

Get the principal to contact cps as well - the child is under the schools care and therefore under him/her too

8:05 pm

stidmama

nice to see everyone!

8:05 pm

stidmama

down to 270 now.

8:05 pm

Trifioso

hello dear friends.....dorens, you are a gift. I have been following your thread here....

8:05 pm

Dorens

i will do everything i can tomorrow. will let you know the outcomeâ€¦

8:06 pm

lynxxx

hi Trif

8:06 pm

rururocks

good luck doren.. sounds like you can't win either way

8:06 pm

stidmama

((trifioso))

8:06 pm

Dorens

go stid!!

8:06 pm

rururocks

but since you're retiring .. you still need to do the right thing

8:07 pm

rururocks

As an abused kid.. I wish someone would have spoken up for me

8:07 pm

Trifioso

I ha4 to ask for something so pedantic during such a good chog, but I need help.....count for the fourth column e please?

8:08 pm

Dorens

oh i will. but even so, they move so slowly. and what can they do? insist on therapy? they don't want to take kids away from parents at all these daysâ€¦ lack of foster familiesâ€¦ i've seen them screw up so much.

8:08 pm

stidmama

Continental monetary unit?

8:08 pm

stidmama

(that was the eu4)

8:08 pm

rururocks

like I said.. odds are against you doren

8:08 pm

Trifioso

ugh....fish!

8:08 pm

rururocks

document what you've tried to do

8:09 pm

lynxxx

If nothing is done - the child will die - and everyone will be looking for a scapegoat.

8:09 pm

Dorens

reallyâ€¦ against mary, not me

8:09 pm

Dorens

i've learned to document everything (but i often forget when i get busy)

8:09 pm

rururocks

very sad situation

8:10 pm

stidmama

Emails, doren? At least in Washington, anything we send from school is an official document by definition.

8:10 pm

stidmama

or does your cps only do phone?

8:10 pm

Dorens

true studâ€¦ but they only do phone.

8:10 pm

Dorens

hey studâ€¦ that is my computer doing that, sorry

8:11 pm

Dorens

don't know why, but i have to fight with it to get it to say stid these days

8:11 pm

stidmama

I know, Doren, spellcheck is my nemesis!

8:12 pm

lynxxx

Are you allowed to tape phone conversations if you ask? Maybe tell them you are so concerned about this childs crisis that you want to tape all conversations and are they OK with that?

8:13 pm

Dorens

hmmm. i think i'm okay just taking notes during the callâ€¦ and that's what i tend to do with them now...

8:14 pm

lynxxx

sorry _ I am indignant that you are beig ignored. I'll shut up now

8:14 pm

rururocks

stud?

8:14 pm

Dorens

that's ok. it is only now that i intend to make a big stink, since the MD debunked the whole bullshit the father has been telling us about why she lost the weight. there was a slim chance he was right, but now we know, it's different

8:15 pm

stidmama

I think she means I am dense, ruru -- as in a stud in a wall that is solid enough to pound nails into.

8:15 pm

Dorens

hahaha

8:15 pm

lynxxx

lol

8:15 pm

rururocks

oh.. whew.. thought we were talking about a sex change here

8:16 pm

Dorens

hey why not? spice things up a bit

8:16 pm

rururocks

..maybe if you write to Cher?...

8:16 pm

stidmama

rofl

8:17 pm

lynxxx

why Cher?

8:17 pm

rururocks

she might pay for it

8:17 pm

Dorens

her daughter?/son?

8:17 pm

rururocks

like she did for her kid

8:18 pm

rururocks

stidpapa has a nice ring to it

8:18 pm

rururocks

or even better Stidstud

8:18 pm

lynxxx

oh, I hadn't heard about that payment

8:18 pm

there is ALREADY a "stidstud" (how do you think Matthew and Grant happened?)
