1:07 am

grannyrose

1:09 am

puglet

1:09 am

puglet

It is!

1:10 am

grannyrose

no, we have white lacy sheers in both rooms. soft pinky beige in the bedroom, a soft cream in the dressing room. a sort of self-patterned material. and all floor to ceiling length.

1:11 am

puglet

Isnt this your dream job Cos--LOL and Hi

1:12 am

cosdem

lol.. the kid had a bad day so its ok . filed appropiate paperwork. school staff will deal with it tomorrow :)

1:12 am

puglet

whats your plans for tomorrow Rose

1:13 am

grannyrose

cos, do the kids have emotional/mental/physical problems? i'm sorry i am out of touch with a lot of my fellow babblers.

1:14 am

cosdem

no they dont rose but this one kid has no language at all and he did not understand why he was being punished. the other kdis went to the pool at the Ymca and he couldnt. (he hit 2 kids at dinner)

1:14 am

cosdem

i dont blame him at all. not his fault he has no language

1:14 am

grannyrose

bed again at least until about the same time, pugs. all the washing, shopping, ironing etc up to date. a kick-back day for both of us.

1:15 am

grannyrose

awww, cos. but if he doesn't understand, why is he being punished?

1:15 am

puglet

very good!

1:15 am

cosdem

because he can't get away with it.

1:16 am

cosdem

he needs to learn there are consequences. we have been very flexible with his behavior last two weeks. he has learned the routine and he does know better/

1:16 am

grannyrose

is it a language problem? or just that he hasn't yet been taught how to communicate?

1:17 am

cosdem

he moved from mexico a month ago so he doesnt know american sign lang. but. he does understand what we are saying. its just.. its so complicated lol

1:18 am

cosdem

mexican sign is similar to american but.. thre are barriers. he does understand hitting is not tolerated. we decided he needs to see there are consequences.

1:20 am

puglet

How do these kids get to you Cos? Are they sent from other schools

1:20 am

grannyrose

okay, he has been naughty by deliberately ignoring the rules. okay...still think, poor kid...but, as you say, he needs to learn consequences.

1:21 am

cosdem

parents have the choice of sending kids to district schools or the school for the deaf. if they choose the deaf school., district school pays for it all.

1:21 am

cosdem

yes rose poor kid. but we cant let him keep hitting other kids and myself

1:22 am

o-o

the bacon you are takin is makin your cholesterol inflatin

2:40 am

grannyrose

o-o....lovely to see you. how are you, mate?

2:40 am

sprite

well forgive my french, rose, but that is about f*cking time. Both for the solicitor's last visit and for don to get fed up with her.

2:40 am

joso

I am a kind and genorous soul pug, but there are limits, want some popcorn

2:40 am

puglet

good morning Mr. OO----but its sooo good

2:40 am

sprite

lol o-o, ain't that the truth. But sinning in moderation is a healthy thing mentally.

2:41 am

puglet

yuck Joso! well maybe if its bacon flavored

2:42 am

grannyrose

*thinks* do i have permission to go out for brekky with himself tomorrow? instead of sitting/lying on bed?

2:42 am

sprite

the person who ever manages to invent healthy bacon will be rich as sin in less than a month

2:42 am

grannyrose

roflol, joso...me too, me too

2:42 am

sprite

yes rose. As long as you go back home after and put your feet back up.

2:42 am

puglet

How far are you going to have to walk? And what else do you plan to do?

2:43 am

grannyrose

ugh, okay...* pouting *

2:43 am

grannyrose

pugs, not far to walk, and nothing else...is that okay?

2:43 am

sprite

you can pout all you want. Girls who wanna go out for breakfast need their feet up before lunch.

2:44 am

puglet

how about ordering in and eat in bed with the feet up and Don beside you?

2:44 am

o-o

death by moderation is still hard to reverse

2:44 am

grannyrose

o-o...where are you? can't you protect me from these harpies?...lolol

2:44 am

joso

bloated feet or bacon, not even really a choice is it

grannyrose

yeah...what joso said...pfft

2:45 am

joso

oh i like that one 0-0, very good

2:45 am

sprite

2:46 am

sprite

oh roflollll o-o... your profile text is priceless.

2:46 am

puglet

OO, please dont say you dont like bacon--lol----bacon or ham(or both) eggs, toast and juice---cant get much better than that

2:48 am

sprite

I'll trade my bacon for smoked salmon. With toast and juice, and strawberries. Wiener melange coffee. Best breakfast (or lunch or brunch or what the heck I can eat that for dinner too) there is for me.

2:49 am

puglet

I havent had smoked salmon so cant say yay or nay

2:49 am

sprite

never? Oh dear, must find a way to have you taste it, pug. Sooooo good.

2:50 am

2:54 am

puglet

thanks OO--and hope you are fit as a fiddle too

2:55 am

puglet

I guess can is far from fresh in taste, isnt it

2:56 am

sprite

canned salmon has quite another taste, yes. And smoked salmon is a whole other ballgame too.

2:56 am

o-o

I can't keep canned salmon lit either

2:57 am

puglet

there is no way of getting fresh salmon here unless its frozen--would that make a different too

2:57 am

grannyrose

3:04 am

o-o

I did not inhale

3:04 am

puglet

ahhh--duh on me

3:04 am

joso

I was hungry too, but 4 eggs on english muffins, 1/2 lb of bacon, fried ham, grapefruit juice, tea, a bran muffin, 2 croissants, a danish with rasberry jam and marmalade seems to have eased the hunger a smidge.

3:05 am

sprite

roflolllll joso, never! That is food enough for a week.

3:05 am

puglet

well I would hope so Joso--lol

3:05 am

sprite

never duh on you, pug.

3:05 am

sprite

3:06 am

joso

3:06 am

puglet

Aww. My cat's name is in the grid. "Norman".

7:53 am

Riverdance

of course the grid only has 67 words

7:54 am

Riverdance

speaking of cats - mine are keeping me up all night....purring in my ear...one on each side of me....they sound like racing engines....and then Sampson starts to knead my shoulder.....had to lock them out of my bedroom a couple nights ago so I could get some sleep

7:55 am

Riverdance

Cassanova just about pushes me off the bed.....I have a queen size bed and last night slept right on the edge.....had about 6 inches of space while the cats were spread out in the middle

7:56 am

Wolvie

i shut my door lol- no kitty raids for me

7:56 am

Riverdance

God I love them but I do need my sleep!

7:56 am

Judi

Hee hee. They do tend to take over like that.

7:56 am

Kaplan the Magne

My kittens still suck my eyelids. Too young to sleep with but they have each other.

7:56 am

same thing in this house. So impudent. And they get away with it

7:56 am

Wolvie

hello kaplan and bich

7:56 am

Riverdance

my door doesn't latch tight so they can push it open....2 nights ago I actually had to put something heavy against the door to keep them out

7:57 am

Judi

Yeah. I would have to draw the line at eyelid sucking!

7:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

It's gross

7:57 am

Wolvie

lol- i would get a new latch

7:57 am

Riverdance

lol.....

7:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

But they did let me clip their nails. But they still scratch.

7:58 am

Riverdance

its just that the house settled so some doors dont latch tight.....

7:58 am

Kaplan the Magne

They run in and out of their cardboard boxes with their fake mouse toys like two maniacs.

7:58 am

Judi

Nail clipping is the worst. My husband and I have to tag team the little cat to do hers. She's only 5 lbs, but she squirms like crazy.

7:58 am

Riverdance

my cats still have their claws but they are pretty gentle

7:58 am

Kaplan the Magne

They were very docile.

7:59 am

Kaplan the Magne

They think I am their mother.

7:59 am

Riverdance

mine need that done now too.....

7:59 am

Kaplan the Magne

They think my computer is their motherboard.

7:59 am

we cannot shut them out of the bedroom as they will miaow and knock at the door all night

7:59 am

72 Temple Owl

7:59 am

Wolvie

mine have theirs and behave well- they destroy cat trees but that is much better than furniture :-)

7:59 am

Riverdance

yes so do mine but banging on the door for 1/2 hour was better than no sleep all night

8:00 am

Kaplan the Magne

They are less than 3 months.

8:00 am

Riverdance

my boys are 10 years old

8:00 am

72 Temple Owl

did you not have an occurrence that affected your memory?

8:09 am

Judi

Oh no! Wolvie has amnesia!

8:11 am

Wolvie

must have - lmao-- seriously- yes- a long time ago i did- the only thing it cost me that i am aware of was a major headache for awhile, and loss of eidetic abilities

8:11 am

Wolvie

i was trying to figure out when we were talking about accidents- perhaps i have short term recall issues too lol

8:12 am

o-o

with some retrograde amnesia?

8:13 am

Wolvie

probably- seems like it anyway :-)

8:14 am

Judi

Sorry to joke about that, wolvie. No malice intended.

8:15 am

Judi

Fireworks, by the way!

8:18 am

Wasted efforts on my part. I have no idea how he will get to work tomorrow though cause there is lots of snow and ice in the back and I am not doing anything today. He got rid of snow on the sidewalk and path in front of front door with snow blower this am.
