I see ruru is being naughty again...

1:29 am

rururocks

Which case jilli?

1:30 am

grannyrose

fang and her sister turned up here, out of the blue this morning. no phone call, nothing. after me repeatedly asking her about MIL's clothes, and her saying, no, no, no. we gave them to the charity shop on the weekend. now she turns up demanding a jumper and blouses she had bought MIL. and we had loaded the car with all the odds and ends, in boxes. you should have seen her, arse up, going through boxes in the drive-way, souveniering (sp)stuff.

1:30 am

jillibus

1:26 ru

1:31 am

puglet

why didnt you just move all of it into her car! How rude of her

1:31 am

grannyrose

pugs, thanx for that. and gapeach emailed me, and asked if you had applied for disability through social security.

1:32 am

Lizlin

HI all - just here for a very short time tonight.

1:32 am

puglet

no I havent but I have applied for what nef sent me

1:32 am

grannyrose

lol, i was sitting at the kitchen table, no teeth in, in my pajamas, eyes barely open...really good look.

1:32 am

Lizlin

I agree with pugs - should've given fang all the boxes and left her to it!

1:32 am

puglet

Hi Liz

1:33 am

Lizlin

And that didn't frighten her off, Rose?

1:33 am

puglet

hope it was hot while she was doing that---but thats not nice to say is it

1:34 am

grannyrose

and then fang found out, she had thrown her husband's mini tape recorder into the rubbish...so she was climbing through our garbage bin. i so wish i had taken photos.

1:34 am

Lizlin

Hope she smelt after that!

1:34 am

flosey

and send the photos to her framed

1:34 am

grannyrose

yup, she did, and serves her right...

1:35 am

Lizlin

Or use them as a dart board.

1:35 am

puglet

sounds like you were well entertained this morning--lol

1:35 am

flosey

lol Liz, and got her, right in the butt

1:36 am

puglet

I picture Mrs Bucket of keeping up apperence--lol

1:36 am

grannyrose

then she took off, leaving her sister and sister's husband to follow. and when i asked them, would you like a cuppa, they hopped back into the house quick as you like, for another couple of hours. fang was left hanging, waiting for them to turn up.

1:36 am

Lizlin

I love your style, gal!

1:36 am

puglet

so is she done now?

1:37 am

grannyrose

poor don, he is going to be the one who has to field fang's calls which are sure to come. he said he is going to serve it back at her this time. i think he has had a gutful.

1:38 am

Lizlin

Poor Don - tough on him too.

1:38 am

grannyrose

lolol, sure hope so...the furniture is going in 10 days. don has made room in the garage for it. we are gonna move in on the weekend. *happy sigh*

1:39 am

puglet

why in the heck dont she just take it all then?

1:39 am

Lizlin

That's really exciting for you, Rose. Very happy for you.

1:40 am

grannyrose

exactly pugs. it's not her home which has been so severely invaded.so i am guessing she doesn't give a damn.

1:40 am

puglet

no its not Liz---she'll be too busy to come and play babble--lol

1:40 am

Lizlin

Rose will always play babble!

1:41 am

grannyrose

roflol, miz pugs...anyone ever tell you, you have a very naughty mind?

1:41 am

Lizlin

Best type of mind!

1:41 am

puglet

I didnt say one thing naughty--lol

1:42 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah...i agree.

1:42 am

2:22 am

2:23 am

joso

well go on already

2:23 am

grannyrose

2:23 am

Lizlin

Hi again - til my friend arrives for dinner!

2:23 am

puglet

re hi Liz

2:23 am

sprite

hi joso, hi Liz *hugs*

2:24 am

2:24 am

puglet

Hi Sir Joso

2:24 am

jillibus

hi joso

2:24 am

Lizlin

Hope you're feeling much, much better sprite :)

2:24 am

grannyrose

and all the boxes of stuff, packed and in the car? she got don to pull them all out....there she was, arse up, going through stuff in our driveway.

2:24 am

sprite

Liz, remember the nail polish I wanted? Sold out here in the shops. And can be ordered in the uk, and they do deliver worldwide... except this nail polish!

2:24 am

Lizlin

Jilli - I loved your carved Great Dane puzzle - as well as loving the carving too. You clever lady!

2:25 am

joso

hi sprite, pug, jilli, liz.

2:25 am

puglet

I think her temp is rising now--lol

2:25 am

jillibus

I can't see a word from the middle of the bottom row T.

2:25 am

sprite

omg rose. I can't believe he pulled them down for her... is the good man nuts?

2:25 am

jillibus

Thanks, Liz!

2:25 am

Lizlin

That's so irritating sprite. If you send me the details, I'll see if I can find it for you.

2:26 am

grannyrose

then she took off in a huff, expecting her sister to follow as promptly. when i asked them if they would like a cuppa, they hopped back into the house for another couple of hours. it was hilarious.

2:26 am

sprite

oh would you, Liz? That would be so awesome. Will do!

2:26 am

Lizlin

np sprite.

2:26 am

joso

I hope she is still alive, it my take years but the police do seem to find those bodies burried at the back edge of the north forty rose

2:27 am

puglet

Rose, you left out the best part! Her digging in your trash--lol

2:27 am

Lizlin

lol, joso

2:27 am

sprite

rose, it is beyond belief. That lady needs to have a personality transplant stat. Are the sister and husband nicer?

2:27 am

grannyrose

sprite, don just wanted her outta here.

2:27 am

sprite

roflol joso, totally truel.

2:28 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah. she threw her husband's mini tape recorder into the rubbish. and there she was, digging through our bin, looking for it.

2:28 am

sprite

Don needs to stand up to her, rose. Seriously. This has to stop.

2:29 am

sprite

you should have filmed it. I mean it. Would be wonderful to replay it at her 25th marriage anniversery or something.

2:29 am

jillibus

Please -- can anyone clue the T in the middle of the bottom row? I need my pillow-time!

2:29 am

Lizlin

LOL sprite

2:30 am

sprite

2:30 am

Dianne

2:30 am

grannyrose

2:30 am

sprite

2:30 am

puglet

Hi dianne

2:31 am

jillibus

2:31 am

grannyrose

2:31 am

sprite

yvw jilli

2:31 am

Lizlin

OK - friend due now, so I'll say bye for now. Hopefully I'll be back later or tomorrow. Sprite, don't forget to send those details. Hugs to all.

2:31 am

jillibus

NBT/NBS, halfway and so to bed -- goodnight all and ...*poof

2:32 am

sprite

forgive me for saying so, rose, but she is a real bitch. And not in a good way. You and Don need her out of your hair now.

2:32 am

Lizlin

Sleep well Jilli

2:32 am

puglet

2:32 am

sprite

2:32 am

sprite

2:33 am

joso

2:41 am

sprite

Ks killed at last

2:41 am

grannyrose

yay you sprite.

2:41 am

lynxxx

there's Ks?

2:41 am

grannyrose

9 of the little darlings, lyn

2:41 am

sprite

lol, thanks my friend. Small victories are all I aim for today.

2:42 am

sprite

*giggles* Indeed, lyn

2:44 am

sprite

and one is not so little. Hmph.

2:51 am

grannyrose

oh, forgot to tell you, the real down-side of this morning's raid by fang. i was supposed to have the day in bed. feet like balloons. and she was up and down to me, asking, where is this or that. tomorrow is MY day, i promise.

2:52 am

sprite

rose, my darling... when will you and Don learn to say a clear and distinct NO to that lady?

2:52 am

lynxxx

missed opportunity Rose...you should have flung yourself into bed and when she appeared ask for (a) a cup of tea (b) a bed-pan (c) a sponge bath

2:52 am

sprite

I am with lyn

2:53 am

grannyrose

roflol, lyn. i know sprite. just trying to keep the family peace.*sigh*

2:53 am

puglet

Iam not saying nothing for I got nothing nice to say to that

2:53 am

sprite

there is no family peace, rose. That is an illusion. There is one person raping all limits and boundaries, and two people letting it happen to them.

2:54 am

sprite

forgive me for being blunt

2:55 am

grannyrose

s'okay sprite. don is forever the peace-maker. he knows from experience what fang is like. this time he is ready for her. as i said, he has had a gutful.

2:56 am

sprite

I certainly hope so, rose. I mean it, he should have stopped her right here and now. This is way beyond rude.

2:57 am

grannyrose

and you are right about one member raping the rest of the family's boundaries. she is not nice. once probate is through, that's it. don and i are going to get on with our life together

2:57 am

puglet

shes a person that only thinks of one thing ME!

2:58 am

grannyrose

okay, don is back with dinner. catch you a little later if you are still here. xoxox

2:58 am

sprite

please please do, rose. And keep her out of it. This lady has serious issues. Narcissistic? I don't know but whatever it is, you need her out of your life.

2:58 am

sprite

enjoy, hun

2:58 am

sprite

amen to that, pug

2:59 am

lynxxx

BBL going to do something about dinner too

2:59 am

sprite

bye for now, lyn

2:59 am

puglet

bye Lyn--hope you find something yummy

3:00 am

joso

you are right sprite... except sun szu says you should pick your battlegrounds, perhaps suprized at first dawn shortly after sergery with your teeth still out is not optimal timing

3:00 am

sprite

btw, what is probate? Is that when the inheritance is cleared?

3:00 am

puglet

Rose maybe you and Don should move--like here to the states :)

3:00 am

sprite

very true, joso. I was thinking more of Don standing up to his sister.

3:02 am

joso

yes, varries by nation but basicly a cout or court aperatus that rubberstamps a will as executed properly

3:02 am

sprite

ah ok, thanks joso

3:02 am

joso

*court noy cout, don't know what a cout is

3:03 am

sprite

don't know either, lol. Can't think of something funny either, brain is kinda dead here.

3:04 am

puglet

youre sick Sprite

3:04 am

sprite

yeah, stupid flu bug

3:05 am

puglet

are you the only one with it in the family

3:06 am

sprite

so far, yes.

3:06 am

joso

if she thought of something funny for cout you would probably tell her she is sick for another reason

3:06 am

puglet

you probably got it while out on your outing

3:07 am

puglet

while putting on my coat I found a cout in the pocket

3:08 am

puglet

that sounds okay using it like that--lol

3:09 am

joso

well 50 to go, back to the grid

3:10 am

puglet

bye for now then

3:12 am

sprite

bye joso, have fun

3:12 am

sprite

roflol at being sick for another reason :)

3:13 am

puglet

Iam not asking--lol

3:13 am

grannyrose

oh, good grief, you aren't are you sprite? again?

3:13 am

sprite

am what again?

3:14 am

grannyrose

well what causes nausea, and feeling sick??? especially in the morning?

3:14 am

puglet

oh poor Sprite! lol

3:14 am

sprite

roflolololol no thank God, thank God, I am not pregnant!

3:14 am

puglet

we can have a on-line shower for her!

3:15 am

sprite

I'll take my shower in private, please, and that is the only one I'll take :)

3:15 am

puglet

just a plain party pooper--lol

3:15 am

grannyrose

*skyping sprite in shower* very interesting

3:16 am

sprite

it's my party and I'll cry if I want to

3:16 am

sprite

nobody is allowed to watch me bathe, rose. I am afraid they'd start pushing me back into the sea.

3:16 am

grannyrose

lolol

3:18 am

grannyrose

they would have to push you over me, girl.

3:18 am

puglet

how far of a trip would that be Sprite-:)

3:19 am

grannyrose

*giggle* over me?? like mt everest..lololol

3:19 am

sprite

in that case I wouldn't mind, rose :)

3:20 am

sprite

over TO you, I mean

3:20 am

sprite

to sea, pug? Not as far as you'd think. We are not so far from the coast here. About 30 km I think.

3:21 am

puglet

you might feel better going for a ride in the red wagon--lol

3:22 am

grannyrose

brb, just remembered i need to send a message to my sons...no...not in a bottle..lol

3:22 am

puglet

okay Rose

3:23 am

sprite

as long as I can sit here, quietly, and chat with you guys, I am ok

3:23 am

sprite

yeah, tell them about their dear auntie, lol

3:24 am

puglet

yeah, we dont get you on mondays very often

3:24 am

sprite

nope, won't happen again, God willing, until half of May

3:25 am

sprite

half of March, I mean. The id4 of March.

3:25 am

sprite

detike: when the kids leave home

3:25 am

puglet

thats not too far off

3:26 am

sprite

no, I am over halfway with the therapy, pug. It is 26 weeks in total.

3:26 am

puglet

then what? you go into something else

3:29 am

sprite

no, I don't think so, pug. I will continue with my psychiatrist for a while longer, I think. But a full year of therapy at the farm and then half a year for the eating disorder... I think it should be enough.

3:29 am

grannyrose

lolol. sprite, love detike...

3:30 am

sprite

added it to the dictionary, rose :)

3:30 am

puglet

I know the group helps but I think just the outing and away from the house is help too

3:31 am

puglet

Rose, it didnt escape me while ago---why are your feet so swollen

3:31 am

sprite

that is true, pug. I think I will try and go out more often by myself. Have discovered that Amsterdam is doable for me, by train and street car.

3:32 am

puglet

do you have a friend that could go out with you sometimes

3:32 am

sprite

yes, I even have one in the same city. Must reach out to her again and renew our contact. Have been navelstaring for too long.

3:33 am

puglet

its much funner walking with someone you enjoy

3:33 am

sprite

because. rose. is. on. her. feet. too. much!

3:33 am

puglet

and safer too--I would think

3:34 am

sprite

if only you lived closer by, pug, we could go together

3:34 am

puglet

thats what Iam thinking too! Sprite

3:34 am

sprite

oh it is safe, here at all times and in Amsterdam by day for sure.

3:34 am

puglet

I know Sprite! wish I did too

3:35 am

grannyrose

um...'cos i've been doing too much?? *ducks behind don*

3:35 am

puglet

and if we could get OO out of the hammock he could join us too--lol

3:35 am

puglet

WE KNOW! Mis Rose

3:36 am

sprite

YES rose, because you have been doing TOO MUCH! *crosses arms and gives rose a very stern mama look*

3:36 am

sprite

would love to take a walk with o-o. Wouldn't even have to talk much. Just being together and enjoying the view.

3:36 am

puglet

no no she needs the tigerbunny stare down

3:37 am

sprite

don't make me bring out the tiger bunny stare, rose!

3:38 am

puglet

Ive never been outside of the states and I know I would love the new sites and the train of course

3:38 am

sprite

if ever I get rich, I will bring you here, pug. And give you the big tour.

3:38 am

grannyrose

now there is nothing to stop me having tomorrow 'off'. have found a catherine gaskin book i haven't read. and there are all the bryce courtney books don bought me for christmas. so looking forward to them. and someone in france keeps sending me the most amazing books. yup, lying in bed, reading. not gonna be difficult to do.

3:39 am

puglet

ALRIGHT! :)

3:39 am

sprite

good girl, rose. To speak with captain Picard: make it so.

3:39 am

puglet

that sounds very good if YOU just do that

3:40 am

grannyrose

*giggle* sprite.

3:40 am

puglet

of course you will have to cause you are so swollen you cant walk now

3:42 am

rubyfoo

My friend and I finally found a decent sushi place in town but, unfortunately, I can't get there very often.....

3:47 am

puglet

3:47 am

rubyfoo

3:47 am

rubyfoo

It isn't cold here (5C or so) but it's endlessly grey and drizzly.

3:47 am

sprite

3:48 am

rubyfoo

and the mud and stinky dogs!!!!

3:48 am

puglet

3:48 am

sprite

3:48 am

rubyfoo

When I lie down after lunch, I keep a lamp on, pretty much in my face, so I'm not depressed, just want it to be Spring

3:49 am

sprite

that sun lamp is doing miracles for me. I use it every day, and even halfway january I still don't feel any winter depression.

3:49 am

joso

3:49 am

puglet

3:56 am

puglet

its just stuff like that Rose that has you in the shape you are in now

3:57 am

sprite

3:58 am

sprite

joso: always. Other people call it kicking up grass, of course, or sand, but I know he flushes.

3:58 am

puglet

dont forget the knee is involved too

3:58 am

joso

thats right, rose should never get off her back

3:58 am

grannyrose

hey did any of you see the latest research results? apparently rats/mice who have regular sex have increased memory ability. sort of like an anti-alzheimers thing. don was very interested.

3:58 am

sprite

lolol joso

3:58 am

3:59 am

4:07 am

sprite

I know, rose, just fooling around here

4:07 am

sprite

4:23 am

grannyrose

4:23 am

zoozzoom

Oh good as i have the EI 4/5 :-)

grannyrose

was it you zooz who was having the problem with neighbourhood cats?

4:25 am

zoozzoom

Yeah little buggers.

4:26 am

grannyrose

am guessing here...problem not yet resolved?

4:27 am

zoozzoom

It is mt next dor neibours cats..they keep crapping in my garden & killing the birds...and to top it all when they crap..they do not cover it up like other cats do for some reason...it is not as bad as before though, Rose since i put down the cat repellant.

4:28 am

grannyrose

that is good, zooz. nothing so frustrating as neighbours who will not take responsibility for their pets.

4:29 am

puglet

You need a big dog!

4:29 am

joso

a few half scale bear traps baited with tuna will solve your problems

4:30 am

Yes it is ashame...there are about 30+ cats in just my street alone..most are kept in at night..but next door leave theirs out all night.

4:30 am

zoozzoom

I use a water squirter to keep them out when i am about..so now when they just see me..they run for it.

4:31 am

joso

so you need a scarecrow you for the yard

4:32 am

zoozzoom

I would love a dog, Pugs, but if i get a job (if) it would not be fair on the dog to be on its own for long periods of time.

4:32 am

grannyrose

yay zooz, as they should. or set out possum traps, catch them and take them to the local pound. but then, why should you to have to go to that much trouble to protect what is on your property?

4:33 am

zoozzoom

LOL yes i could get a scarecrow with a water pistol attached to it...that would keep the little buggers out.

4:33 am

puglet

then get 2, they can keep each other company--lol

4:34 am

zoozzoom

As far as i know, Rose, there is no such thing as a local pound in England...if i took the cats to the RSPCA..they would ask what the hell i am doing...and bugger off with the cats...lol

4:34 am

zoozzoom

I like your way of thinking, Pugs..lol

4:35 am

puglet

If you got a humane ss near you maybe you could foster Zoom until you decide on to or not to add to the family

4:35 am

Tell me to bugger off wiith the cats*

blueheron

Sometimes I feel the same way Ruby.:)

7:10 am

rubyfoo

am I imagining it or are the grids getting easier (not that I ever finish.....)

7:11 am

rubyfoo

it is embarrassing because my son is a data bate administrator, a real expert, and he gets very frustrated with my lack of ability

7:11 am

blueheron

You 're just getting better Ruby.

7:11 am

doseffing

... last couple of days have been somewhat easier ... ... I keep track by how many letters I finish before listing

7:11 am

7:21 am

crosshair

I just hit the Qeubec border in the early afternoon,sleep till midnight then gas up and drive right through. too much of a pita fighting with the locals with my limited French. this does not apply to old quebec city however:))

7:23 am

crosshair

though translater programs for smart phones are making things much easier

7:23 am

doseffing

... that was reason number three for putting the kids through french immersion ... we'd have someone who could get us room service when we stayed in a hotel in the old town ... or tried to buy gas in Trois Rivieres

7:24 am

7:24 am

god bless the pay at the pump with the cards. now you can gas up and not have to speak to a soul

7:25 am

doseffing

... certainly helps if you're driving from Toronto to P.E.I

7:25 am

crosshair

I can read enough instructional French for that and I can order Smirnoff in 40 languages, so I am good to go

7:26 am

crosshair

indeed,doseffing,but the non- stop drive through is still very popular

7:28 am

crosshair

P.E.I is amazing...as long as you do not need a job:) good place to retire if you have the cash. houses are half price there compared to Ontario

thanks liz! (and o-o for cluing the last one i needed before i wandered off)

6:02 pm

jaxx7

To turn fahrenheit to centigrade take the temp in F, subtract 30 and divide by 2. It is an approximation but close enough, penquis

6:02 pm

Lizlin

yw - I also liked that last clue from o-o

6:03 pm

Lizlin

I learnt that jaxx - and it does work but these days, I just google the conversion!

6:04 pm

jaxx7

It takes as much to google as it does to use your brain!

6:04 pm

crosshair

I gave that in centegrade

6:05 pm

crosshair

but at these temps both scales sort of meet

6:05 pm

LeslieAnn

sp 6/21? my last. i have ms. britney and what her clothes usually look like

6:06 pm

Lizlin

sp 6 / 21 - lack of something or sp + rear end

6:06 pm

penquis

so 15 F is about -7 C?....

6:07 pm

Lizlin

Or sp + first 4 of a war time US president (I think)

6:07 pm

LeslieAnn

that was it! thank you kindly liz. fireworks!

6:07 pm

there are many conversion charts out there,penquis. we just need the U.S to join the party with the rest of the planet;))

6:07 pm

6:08 pm

penquis

well it's not in my control, crossy.... ;o)

6:08 pm

6:08 pm

penquis

i subtracted 30 and divided by 2...

6:08 pm

anyone want clues before i wander off?

6:09 pm

0f = - 18c and the scales meet at minus 40 I believe

6:09 pm

I'm also wandering off - so have a good evening, everyone.

As an OAP, Crossy, I still find myself using pre decimalisation money. It gives you a clear idea of how much things have gone up since 1971. My grandmother said the world would end if a loaf of bread cost more than 10 shillings. Is it a sign of doom that it now costs Â£1.35 for a loaf of stodge and a lot more for a decent loaf.

6:12 pm

crosshair

do not know what a OAP is but I still use the old imperial measure for a few thing. beer will always be in pints,a fish you caught will always be in pounds and breast sizes on women will forevermore be in inches lol

6:12 pm

jaxx7

Ten shillings converts to 50 pence

6:13 pm

jaxx7

An old age pensioner.

6:15 pm

crosshair

oh and penis sizes. using millimeters to measure a penis is just depressing for us guys lol

6:15 pm

jaxx7

We use a hybrid weighta and measures. Beer is still in pints as is milk from the milkman. babies are weighed in lbs, Horses are bartered in guineas Â£1 05, and busts are still measured in inches you will glad to hear.

6:16 pm

jaxx7

be glad even.

6:16 pm

crosshair

yes, we have to be clear about the important stuff.:))

6:17 pm

jaxx7

As someone with the name Jackie (short for Jacqueline) I get a lot of offers for penis enlargements and Viagra. Most come from Canada.

6:18 pm

lol, never understood that Viagra. kind of like putting a brand new flag pole on a condemned building:))

6:18 pm

pretty sure penises are measured in either centimeters or inches, crossy :P

6:18 pm
