Lizlin
That must have been really frustrating - inefficient of them too.
1:53 am

1:54 am
grannyrose

1:55 am
grannyrose

3:23 am

bbl by all be well
3:24 am
sprite
not entirely sure yet, pug. We just cancelled the final session for our family therapy because of the spat between Tim and Rob. But I still have to go out and get presents for Caya. And I don't wanna... it is a big and scary world outside.
3:24 am
sprite
bye pink, you too!
3:25 am
puglet
Is Caya feeling better
3:26 am
puglet
well you could just give her money and stay home
3:27 am
puglet
or wait until I fly over and we can go together--lol
3:27 am
o-o
With what is going on with Tim .. has to be by analogy somewhat akin to secondhand smoke ... some trauma must be there.
3:28 am
sprite
would love to go together, pug :)
3:29 am
sprite
Rob certainly has traumas. He does not handle aggression very well and neither do I. I am afraid we haven't been able to teach our children how to do that effectively.
3:31 am
sprite
not sure if Tim has a trauma too. I hope not.
3:31 am
puglet
No one is perfect Sprite---and too, it seems common for sons and fathers to go through this
3:32 am
o-o
Well, the current circumstances in view of the past must be shocking to all.
3:32 am
sprite
yes, there is that as well, of course. The adult males in the pack need to know who is boss, sigh.
3:32 am
sprite
indeed, o-o
3:34 am
sprite
but on the plus side, Rob and Tim both went with me to an information meeting from my eating disorder therapy and Tim behaved beautifully.
3:34 am
puglet
and Tim is on the threshhole between manhood and boyhood---and theres not much you can do about it Sprite--its natural
3:34 am
sprite
he was totally himself, relaxed, and made me infernally proud of him.
3:35 am
sprite
that is true, pug, not a comfortable period in anyone's life
3:35 am
puglet
no its not---not for any of you------thats was nice for you to have their support
3:36 am

3:37 am

morning ruby, morning ruby!
3:37 am
o-o
How to deal with a relationship of trust and affection to one of distrust and aggression is most challenging
3:37 am
sprite
awesome, ruby, you are doing a great job with her
3:37 am
puglet
hope all goes well Sprite
3:38 am
o-o
An angel? What is that? I was always angry.
3:38 am
puglet
thats great Ruby!
3:38 am

3:40 am
puglet
Hi Rolin and dan
3:40 am
dan2bit
hehe speaking of wi6, sprite. ty
3:41 am

I think so too, pug. The men need to find a way to interact without getting into too much of anger, that is all.
3:41 am
sprite
how is the family doing, dan!
3:41 am

hi Nanette, a good ya to you too ;)

3:45 am

3:45 am

next thing we know, Dan will be standing at the door with a shotgun, keeping the hormonal boys away from LissMiss
3:46 am
sprite
lol ruby, Caya said yesterday that today she will meet up with some friends and hang out in town, chill a bit there... and Rob said no way! Protective dads, lol. I said, sure, and have fun.
3:46 am
o-o
sprite, one thought is to have Rob and Tim deal with one thing at a time ... rather than:
Gunnysacking is when someone silently collects irritations and slights until "the last straw is placed on them" causing an overblown reaction.[1]
Gunnysacking has been described as 'an alienating fight tactic in which a person saves up, or gunnysacks, grievances until the sack gets too heavy and bursts, and old hostilities pour out.
3:46 am
sprite
sleep well, dan
3:47 am
sprite
that is a very good thought and that is exactly what happens with Rob. Will tell him this before their talk, thanks o-o. We call it 'saving coupons'. And then handing them in all at the same time.

there was this young lady named pugs
with a heart filled with loving and hugs
she would reach out to all
gave them friendship so tall
it would kill pain much better than a drug
4:04 am
crosshair
speaking of advancing the thought process, we had one poor young lady totally burn out in class yesterday. We are in the midst of a persuasive essay with a full introduction, a nice thesis statement with 2 main points, three full body paragraphs with three expanded points of each thesis point including at least one in-text quote of each of the statements, then a nice concluding paragraph..poor girl just had a total melt down
4:04 am

Crosshair, what kind of meditation do you do?
5:21 am

it is not after any particular style, mac. I just have this ability to stop, pick a calm scene to look at and unfocus my mind for a bit.

then five minutes later I can tighten my focus again
5:21 am

5:31 am
crosshair
"“What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.â€"

7:13 am
Anniebrook
I hope I am not bothering you by asking
7:15 am
Scrabbler
It is a muscle relaxant so may help if you are spasming or tightening up due to the pain, but it may not help. Aleve and ice are your friends. The first 3 days will be the worst, then you will improve.
7:15 am
Scrabbler
No bother, Annie. I always want to help people navigate medical issues. It sucks to be a patient.

rururocks
I bet you're exhausted from this grid :D
8:24 pm
jesdraggon
they'd just make you open it, probably. unless they also thought of clobbering, in which case they might just take it aw4... the meanies.
8:25 pm
jesdraggon
i am pretty worn out, ruru.
8:26 pm
jesdraggon
but look, pizza! :) bruce is so good to me.
8:27 pm
rururocks

8:27 pm
MollyL
Thank God it's early and everyone can get a good night's sleep before the next tiring grid of 60 words.
8:28 pm
rururocks

8:28 pm
gemini_J13
apparently some people think it is a joke
8:28 pm
rururocks
I had pasta tonight and I feel guilty
8:28 pm
jesdraggon
is there a problem with pork on pizza?
8:29 pm
rururocks
I have never heard of pork on pizza other than salami or sausages
8:29 pm
MollyL
Guilty for having pasta?
8:29 pm
rururocks
I'm trying to stay away from starches and carbs molly
8:30 pm
jesdraggon
canadian bacon? bacon? pepperoni?
8:30 pm
rururocks
we ain't talkin' bacon.. we be talkin' pork
8:30 pm
jesdraggon
where you think bacon comes from, bubba? :P
8:31 pm
LeslieAnn
you walked into that one, jes
8:31 pm
MollyL
*Fixes Ru a stark little plate of carrots and celery*
8:31 pm
jesdraggon
really though, getting inventive with pizza is good. we had some a while back with chicken and figs and apples and balsalmic on thin crust. it was the yum!
8:31 pm
phandmd
good evening! Small puzzle today. My first time in...
8:31 pm
rururocks
LOL Molly
8:32 pm
jesdraggon
heh. that's right, ruru... avoid those nasty carbs and eat healthy food like bacon!
8:33 pm
MollyL
*So not interested in inventive pizza*
8:33 pm
jesdraggon
why not, molly?
8:33 pm
rururocks
Inventive pizza is often.. "wtf is n the fridge to go on the crust honey"
8:35 pm
jesdraggon
hah. no, that's actually not really happened to me since bruce came along. he plans meals and stuff, it's weird but nice
8:36 pm
rururocks
he's a keeper then jes
8:36 pm
jesdraggon
some of the dinners my brother and i had in college though.... 3 different kinds of meat and 2 or 3 different pastas with random 'we think this is sauce'... heheh.
8:36 pm
rururocks
weird means he's experimental.. and that's ALWAYS a good thing :D
8:37 pm
MollyL
Because I'm a traditional pizza person. I don't have any interest in "improving" on what is already a good thing...to me.
8:37 pm
jesdraggon
always? hmm...
8:37 pm
rururocks
although weird here late at night is something entirely different :D
8:38 pm
jesdraggon
late night weird is often great fun, ruru
8:38 pm
jesdraggon
but good could be made great, molly
8:40 pm
MollyL
It's the traditional thing with me. I don't get why there are now 500 variations on a martini either.
8:41 pm
jesdraggon
because variety is the very spice of life, of course.
8:42 pm
rururocks
*ties fingers*
8:42 pm
MollyL
Yeah, me too.
8:43 pm
jesdraggon
must make it difficult to type, ru.
9:33 pm
rururocks
nah.. i'm used to it
9:38 pm
jesdraggon
you often type while tied up?
9:41 pm
rururocks
I can do a lot of things that way :D
9:48 pm
jesdraggon
hmm. *ponders power exchange arrangements*
9:56 pm
rururocks
that depends on the plug I guess
9:58 pm
jesdraggon

9:59 pm
rururocks
