2:02 am

cosdem

i was a camp counselor and this one summer a co4 would always come to us at the camp fire and sit on the table and just hang out with us for hours. we dared not touch or feed it but eventually we gave him a name. rob :) rob the raco4. he came back the next summer but the suummer after he did not :( he eventually became the camp mascot :)

2:03 am

Lizlin

Cute story. Shame he didn't come back the 3rd year.

2:03 am

o-o

Listening to a Gregorian Chant ... rather haunting and takes me back to time long ago.

2:04 am

Lizlin

Fine music - I agree, haunting.

2:04 am

cosdem

2:08 am

cosdem

2:12 am

grannyrose

so sad...watching the news from the ukraine. when will all this violence stop?

2:18 am

Lizlin

I wish I knew and could really foresee that time.

2:19 am

cosdem

I watched a live feed earlier today. So scary.

2:20 am

grannyrose

why, oh, why, can we not live and let live?

2:21 am

cosdem

why cant we just agree to disagree

2:21 am

grannyrose

exactly, cos. what is so wrong with that concept?

2:22 am

cosdem

Even I, one of the most partisian Democrats in the world, have many Republican friends. We agree to disagree and not talk politics.

2:22 am

Lizlin

Same here, Cos. I have a similar situation here but just bite my tongue as i haven't known these people too long.

2:23 am

grannyrose

weeelll, you can talk politics...but once one of you becomes over-heated, then the agree/disagrre concept comes into play

2:23 am

cosdem

I have to be tolerant. I live in El Paso County, Colorado - one of the top 10 Republican counties in the USA :P

2:24 am

cosdem

Home of Jerry Fawell, Ted Nugent and Michelle Malkin.

2:24 am

Lizlin

2:26 am

Lizlin

Hopefully later :)

2:26 am

cosdem

My cat is sleeping next to me. I like to watch him and think wow I have a different species next to me and we're co-existing peacefully. Wish the world was like that.

3:32 am

grannyrose

awww, pugs...there is nothing wrong with your brain...it's the way people clue. they presume too much. if i am on, let me know.

3:34 am

puglet

now Rose--there were four or five on here and they all got it---So it had to be me----this was later in the day--but I got over it--lol--its just frustrating

3:36 am

grannyrose

awww, sweetie. as i said...it depends on how a word is clued. mkg often has problems understanding clues.

3:36 am

o-o

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

3:57 am

grannyrose

3:57 am

sprite

ouch o-o, too true

3:57 am

sprite

snap, rose :)

3:58 am

grannyrose

oh, gosh, sprite. for goodness sake. give him a shake, and tell him he is a big boy now, and must fight his own battles.

3:58 am

Kazzer99

3:58 am

grannyrose

3:58 am

puglet

Hi Kazz

3:59 am

sprite

indeed, rose. Am not at all sure what I want to do with this. Madness.

3:59 am

sprite

hi Kazzer!

4:01 am

grannyrose

rob must assert himself. he is supposed to be the 'head' of the household. tell rob he must lead, or tim will get the wrong idea.

4:01 am

Kazzer99

sorry not been on chog but don't get much time so have been concentrating on the words. I help you have all been fine

4:01 am

Kazzer99

oops english going out the window there - hope!

4:01 am

sprite

couldn't agree more, rose. That is what I told him yesterday. Now he won't come home from work and will sleep at canoe club. Sigh.

4:01 am

grannyrose

4:02 am

sprite

hi Kazzer, sometimes real life must take precedence :) Glad to see you, however shortly.

4:02 am

grannyrose

for goodness sake!! * sigh * when will our men folk grow up??

4:03 am

Kazzer99

lives been a whirl since the last time we spoke. Mums finally had her cataract done on her good eye and she is amazed by the amount she can see now - not so good for my sis and son cos she can also see the dirt they don't clean up!!

4:03 am

sprite

I think things are a bit too much for Rob. Work is tough, at home he is been doing a lot of stuff, issues with the neighbours and now this again.

4:03 am

grannyrose

mind you, sprite! rob is going to feel pretty lonely without you beside him tonight.

4:03 am

Kazzer99

how old is Tim?

4:04 am

puglet

Sprite, when you and Tim was having trouble before--if Iam correct, Rob did not stand by you at that time but left you on your own to handle it

4:04 am

sprite

lol Kazzer, good for her though! Great that she can see again.

4:04 am

sprite

yep, same thing basically as now, pug

4:04 am

sprite

Tim will be 18 in 2 months.

4:05 am

puglet

maybe a night or two away will give Rob some me space and time

4:05 am

Kazzer99

aaarghh vile age - think they know it all and parents are horrible and don't know anything

4:05 am

sprite

you got him pegged, Kazzer, lol :)

4:06 am

grannyrose

yeah, kazzer. and in 3 years, they are so surprised at how much the parents have learned...lolol

4:06 am

sprite

lol rose, indeed

4:06 am

Kazzer99

Also chafing at the bit to get out and do stuff you don't want them to. It does get better - not all the time but most times. My sister started at 14 and now Mum and her are best of friends.

4:07 am

sprite

there is hope on the horizon then, Kazzer.

4:07 am

grannyrose

and sprite, my boys have turned out fine.they do survive..

4:07 am

Kazzer99

Sometimes a short sharp shock works. I have a friend whose parents chucked her out at 18 and said you think your and adult well off you go!

4:07 am

sprite

more hope there, rose :)

4:08 am

grannyrose

oh, goodie. it is bucketing down...hoo-bloody-ray.

4:08 am

Kazzer99

My son is lovely - he is 35 now and looks after his gran as well as working full time so the stripy bits do go away

4:08 am

sprite

how lovely, rose!

4:09 am

sprite

I hope it won't have to come to that, Kazzer. will do all I can to prevent that.

4:09 am

Kazzer99

4:09 am

grannyrose

4:09 am

sprite

hehehe a crosspost there :)

4:09 am

grannyrose

and you just answered my question...lol

4:10 am

sprite

England has had it bad indeed. So far we have been spared that.

4:11 am

Kazzer99

see last post. We are lucky because Chard is high up compared to the levels but it is havoc in places. The main railway line from Exeter to the rest of the southwest was washed away and any further weather is just causing more damage. Water levels are still rising as well. There is just no where for the water to go

4:11 am

Kazzer99

only 6 left so I am going to try and get them

4:12 am

sprite

wow that is really bad, Kazzer :(

4:12 am

grannyrose

4:21 am

rubyfoo

She and I both have excellent taste!

4:21 am

grannyrose

sorry friends, am in tears here, trying to reduce pain meds. and it is so sore. trying to get ready for bed.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

that is good news, sprite

4:22 am

sprite

pain sucks, rose. Very gentle hugs for you and healing hands hovering over the sorest spots. Will think of you and hold you in my prayers

4:23 am

puglet

ahh Rose, hugs

4:23 am

puglet

how about just going to bed in your birthday suit?

4:24 am

grannyrose

i will succeed. i am determined. it is just my weak flesh.

4:24 am

rubyfoo

{{gentle hug for Rose}} I have just had my second set of pain meds and am waiting for them to kick in

4:24 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} my darling ruby.

4:24 am

sprite

babysteps at a time, rose. Your flesh is not at all weak, and it needs time to adjust.

4:24 am

rubyfoo

But I'm sure my daily pain isn't even close to what Rose is having

4:25 am

puglet

brb

4:25 am

rubyfoo

5th day of walking my nutsy pup and although she is very good and doesn't pull, she walks faster than I'm used to

4:26 am

sprite

it will do you good, ruby, but right now it is hard on your body too!

4:26 am

grannyrose

for goodness sakes! ruby! what i am going through is nothing to what you must endure.

4:27 am

grannyrose

my pain will get less. what ruby is suffering is constant.

4:28 am

sprite

please darlings, don't compare. Take your own pain seriously and try to go easy, tiny step by tiny step forward.

4:28 am

rubyfoo

your pain is acute, so must be more severe. I just hurt regularly, so can live with it, just somewhat carefully. The good news is that walking th pup is doing me a lot of good. I feel stronger and happier

4:28 am

rubyfoo

and she is an angel-dog

4:28 am

sprite

wow ruby, that sounds so good!

4:29 am

puglet

I was able to take my dog out for a walk too yesterday Ruby

4:29 am

rubyfoo

and she is learning to greet people in the road and not be so afraid of cars

4:29 am

sprite

lovely, pug :)erne

4:29 am

rubyfoo

how bad was the ice?

4:29 am

puglet

Rose, if or when you are in so much pain maybe you should up your pain meds

4:29 am

rubyfoo

fice

4:29 am

sprite

sorry about that :(

4:30 am

puglet

once I got to the road it was good

4:30 am

rubyfoo

sorry

4:30 am

grannyrose

well, i have on the bottom half of my pajamas. and that is where i am going to stop. lolol...half don's luck.

4:30 am

rubyfoo

what pain meds do you take, rose?

4:31 am

grannyrose

ruby, because of the surgery i am on oral morphine. i am trying to reduce it as i cannot return to work until i am off it.

4:31 am

rubyfoo

I take paracetemol + codeine and it works most of the time

4:31 am

o-o

Life is hard ... that is not news to anyone here.

"Sirâ€“A thought to help us through these difficult times: Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." ~Ian MacLaren

4:32 am

puglet

Rose, maybe, just maybe you might be rushing things

4:32 am

rubyfoo

I took morphine after my surgeries and aside for the unspeakable intestinal problem, it was wonderful

4:32 am

puglet

I think thats about right OO

4:32 am

rubyfoo

but it was shots and/or drip, not oral

4:33 am

grannyrose

yeah,ruby, absolutely. but i cannot return to my work until i am off it. and o-o? thanx, mate. your considerate thoughts help me so much.

4:35 am

grannyrose

ruby, i cannot take preparations containing codeine. my body converts it to morphine too quickly..i end up high as a kite...lol

4:35 am

rubyfoo

not me. I have the constitution of an ox when it comes to meds

4:36 am

rubyfoo

the doses I took in the hospital astonished the nurses (or maybe my pain threshold is just too low)

4:36 am

sprite

that is a wonderful quote, o-o. And the truth.

4:38 am

sprite

pain medication is a very personal thing, I have found. We all react differently to different pain meds. You are the only expert when it comes to your body.

4:38 am

rubyfoo

Do you have that wind, fi4, there sprite?

4:39 am

rubyfoo

I can never rember which direction it comes from. All the different winds have ames: mistral, etc

4:39 am

sprite

don't think so but would have to look it up

4:39 am

rubyfoo

it's also spelled foehn

4:40 am

rubyfoo

MollyL

I saw Harvey Bars in the grocery store today
: D

11:22 am

HarryHood

I had to google harvey bars, I'm ashamed to say. Is that a ripoff of klondike, or did klondike rip them off?

11:22 am

MollyL

Since Hood has been around way longer than Klondike, I think Klondike ripped them off.

11:24 am

HarryHood

yeah but I think these bars are a new fangled concoction

Dagnabbit.

MollyL

They are significantly cheaper than Klondikes. I will keep that in mind if ice cream is ever in the budget again.

11:26 am

HarryHood

I buy klondikes when they're on sale - they're quite cheap then. Love the ones with the crispy rice pieces in the chocolate

12:49 pm

bichon

Depends on who is making the outcry. Both teams have their uber and their haterz.

12:50 pm

cybernan

I think technically, the american dancers had a more difficult program and it was executed flawlessly. However, they don't seem to be as smooth or as asthetically pleasing as the Canadians -- it was a close call.

12:50 pm

bichon

And, as fans go, Canadians are the biggest ubers

12:50 pm

cybernan

the biggest what?

12:51 pm

MollyL

That's what I thought Bich. White and Davis did a great job and I can't see why people would begrudge them their win.

12:51 pm

bichon

I've been to international skating events and the Canadian make the loudes noise for their skaters

12:52 pm

cybernan

and you don't think the Americans cheer loudly?

12:52 pm

bichon

Not nearly as loudly and the Canadians

I don't think you are watching enough of the olympics, then

3:33 pm

Minveryork

I've almost finished the en 6/18 grid so here is a story ri 4/7 with clues to en 6/24 your Babble experience. I was very upset when the talk show "The Ch 4/10 took the place of "All My Children". I loved watching Er5/12 Kane! The cr 4/9 at ABC thought they were ca4/5ring to their viewers when they cancelled AMC and fi 4/7d the AMC staff. I wonder if ABC no6/21d that they lost a lot of viewers who je 4/9ed their decision to cancel AMC&the impa 4/6 their decision made on AMC lovers. I, for one, was not en6/21d by the talk show. Suffi4/8 it to say,now the talk show is being cancelled too!I ca 4/5 continue my story since my fe4/7 wants laptop.If I don't give him computer, he will start to yell at me in a nasty to 4/4. How dare he take the computer away from his wi 4/8! He is such a tw 4/8! I hope this story enri4/6d your Babble experience. Hope you were able to deci6/27 my clues and found some more words.I am going to go watch the movie "The No4/4book".I will be back when the computer is fr 4/7 to use again. Adios!

Hello MollyL!I am on winter vacation all week.Yay for me!

3:54 pm

phandmd

how nice, Min!

3:54 pm

phandmd

Hope you are enjoying yourself

3:55 pm

MollyL

Oh that's right. You folks up north do "winter vacation" instead of Spring break.

3:59 pm

Minveryork

We also do Spring break, however, not this year. We had too many snow days! We lost 3 days of our Spring break.

4:00 pm

Minveryork

Yes, phandmd, I am enjoying myself with Babble and CCS.

4:00 pm

MollyL

Really? You have "winter vacation" and Spring break? You must have less required school days than we do.

4:04 pm

phandmd

They have a winter break here in Frederick County, between the 2 semesters. I think it amounts to 4 days, Can't remember for sure how long it is.

4:04 pm

Minveryork

How many days are U required? We're required 180 days.

4:05 pm

phandmd

that is how many we are required.

4:05 pm

Minveryork

We are in school longer than most other districts. My last day is 6-28 if we do not get any more snow days.

4:05 pm

wvteach

all have a minimum of 180 days - there are just different patterns of vacations - and that impacts when you begin and end

4:06 pm

phandmd

we usually get out a 1 1/2 weeks earlier than that.

4:08 pm

wvteach

we are usually out by the first of June, but this year kids will go until June 4th to make up days

4:08 pm

Minveryork

I usually teach 'til close to the end of June&then start teaching summer school July 1st.Don't get my summer break 'til August,but that's ok.Like to work in summer

4:09 pm

MollyL

Our "winter break" is at Christmas time. You folks up north must have less in service days/professional days than we do here.

4:10 pm

Minveryork

We used to have 2 or 3 a year, now we do not anymore.

4:10 pm

Minveryork

Election Day is usually an Professional Development day.

4:10 pm

MollyL

Our last day this year is June 12th.

4:11 pm

We have 1-2 days of PD in September before kids begin.

I agree Min. It's been a long, bitch of a winter.

5:11 pm

phandmd

Molly, did you have a thunderstorm this morning? We did, and the thunder was very loud and long, but there were only 2 rumbles. I guess it was a fast moving storm.

5:12 pm

MollyL

Phan, that was Lady Spring saying I AM HERE, BE GONE SNOW!! : D

5:12 pm

phandmd

yes, but I heard a rumour of a future snow, I don't know the details though.

5:15 pm

MollyL

Rumour? Did you move to Canada?

5:16 pm

Habes

Hubby and I saw four robins this morning. Is that really a sign of spring? I hope so. Pittsburgh area.

5:16 pm

5:23 pm

phandmd

I am well thanks Minveryork, I hope you are well too.

7:14 pm

Minveryork

I am well. I had a lazy day in my pajamas in my bedroom.

7:14 pm

Bugsaw

I LOVE those days! lucky you

7:15 pm

Bugsaw

unless you were sick of course, then it is not so fun

7:17 pm

7:18 pm

uusue2

7:19 pm

Bugsaw

I am much quieter more often now but I have not been on when you are for a long time. Hope all is well at your end of the country

7:19 pm

Bugsaw

YAY uusue

7:19 pm

Minveryork

Hello uusue2! Welcome back to the chog. How's your son?

7:19 pm

uusue2

yes, we are good, bugs

7:19 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations uusue2 on your fireworks! Good for you!

7:20 pm

Bugsaw

always good to hear after your terrible time last year!

7:20 pm

uusue2

he is struggling again, min, but is getting himself back on track quicker than in the past, so I am hopeful for him

7:21 pm

Bugsaw

I am sorry sue, I missed that your boy was struggling now you two are well.

7:21 pm

Minveryork

So sorry to hear that.What is he struggling with uusue2?

7:22 pm

uusue2

he struggles with school, min. He gets behind on homework, worries about whether he's doing the right thing, gets depressed, withdraws from everything, and then doesn't do very well in his classes

7:23 pm

uusue2

he's failed almost half the classes he's started, mostly not because he can't do it, but rather because he gets in his own way - it is very hard to watch

7:23 pm

Bugsaw

poor kid. he needs to get a couple of good friends to form a study group so he knows he is on track

7:23 pm

uusue2

he started doing this again two weeks ago but is getting back to work already so that is good.

7:24 pm

Bugsaw

withdrawing is the worst thing but feels like the best thing at the time. I hope he doesn't loose a course

7:24 pm

uusue2

a study group would be good but so far he hasn't liked the people he's tried to work with - when he's working hard he really works hard, and they were goofing off too much for him

7:24 pm

uusue2

well, if he can get himself back on track now he should be ok this semester

7:24 pm

Bugsaw

may I have a clue for my last word, please? ta 5

7:25 pm

uusue2

ta5 is a large rodent, sort of like a sloth

7:26 pm

Bugsaw

thanks and yay for me now

7:26 pm

Minveryork

ta 5/12 word is ta plus ***ates of the Caribbean Bugsaw.

7:26 pm

uusue2

yay bugs!

7:26 pm

Bugsaw

thanks also to Minveryork. I must go on a search for food now so see you later

7:26 pm

uusue2

take care, bugs!
