2:16 am

Ruru turning off auto correct is usually in the message/text settings.
2:17 am
grannyrose
ruru, whenever don gets a new piece of techno, he rarely looks at the user guide. then wonders why he can't work it out. lol. i thought that maybe a problem with you also. it seems to be a male thing.
2:17 am
rururocks
Let me look at that
2:17 am

rbud
thanks! got it. :D
2:21 am
rururocks

2:22 am
rbud

2:22 am
rururocks
What a relief
2:24 am
rbud
it rings, I answer, I want to call, I call. No camera, no internet... all I want in a cell phone. :)
2:24 am
rururocks
Ok off to bed...to plot for tomorrow
2:24 am
grannyrose
with you, rbud. phones are for making phone calls and sending/receiving text messages ONLY. my nokia has a QUERTY keyboard which i fi4 so easy to use.
2:25 am
rbud
g'nite ru, plot well. :)
2:25 am
grannyrose
*giggle* ruru. hey, mate...i am so pleased about you and mrs ru.
2:26 am

Glad it help ruru
2:26 am
rbud
plus my phone is so tough - it's taken a lot of abuse over the years and just keeps on working. amazing.
2:27 am
grannyrose
rbud, i have to admit, the camera on my phone does get a workout. with 3 grandkiddies and a hubby doing the darnedest things, i just snap the moment.
2:27 am
rbud
kid has cracked his screens a dozen times on his latest whatever - he always wants the latest models.
2:28 am
rbud
camera might be cool, but I have one of those. a nice 35 mm old school expensive one. still love it, too.
2:28 am
grannyrose
rbud, hubby has a hard cover for his phone pad which he flips shut whenever he is not actually using the phone.
2:29 am
grannyrose
yeah, i know rbud, but how often do you have lying around ready to use?
2:29 am
rbud
I don't buy our son phones, he gets them here and there. always trading up and around. so they're his problem.
2:31 am
rbud
yep, that's the problem. I do have a decent little digital camera, but the old one's still lots more fun. getting harder to find places to develop the film though! the old school stuff is dwindling away. :(
2:31 am
rbud
wish I still had my darkroom equipment, I was serious about photography back in college.
2:33 am
grannyrose
lol, like us...
2:34 am
grannyrose
rbud, hubby is going to set up a dark room in our garage. he is a professional photographer.
2:37 am
rbud
oh, neat! I don't claim to be professional, but I did used to enjoy trying for artsy shots... and I went through a B & W phase, still have some of those framed and hanging around the place.
2:39 am
rbud
does he do portrait type stuff? or work for a paper or something? or freelance?
2:39 am
rbud
(so nosy... sorry...) :)
2:39 am
grannyrose
it was so funny! yesterday, we were watching grandson's football match ( aussie rules ) and don was taking photos. as usual he adopted his professional posture, which makes his body a tripod. my son was having a quiet chuckle to himself. but when said son saw the pics, he was gob-smacked.
2:42 am
grannyrose
not nosy, at all. he has been made redundant by the university. i have to admit, he has a beautiful sense of what is worth taking a pic of. one of his photos...the silhouette of a sheep against a gorgeous sunrise. and another was an harbour, full of sailing boats, and the water was so smooth it was like a mirror.
2:46 am
rbud
sounds lovely! there's a lot to be said for old school - too bad so few appreciate it these days.
2:51 am
grannyrose
rbud, he has promised himself never to do another wedding...at least not professionally. but he really can't stop himself when it comes to the grandkiddies.
2:56 am
rbud
well of course! :D
3:09 am
rbud

and I have today off from work, as a personal day. was supposed to be visiting a college with secondo, but she has changed her mind about it, which is fine with me, as that one was a five hour drive away
3:27 am
grannyrose
tell all, trif...c'mon spill...
3:27 am
sprite
that is nice, Trif. Sorry you can't sleep, but you seem to have picked a good night for it ;)
3:27 am
Trifioso
all - mr hate had the girls, so I got to spend most of the weekend with my dear valentine. HEAVEN
3:28 am
grannyrose
oh, so wonderful, trif.
3:28 am
sprite
oh great, so Valentine is still there for you... am so glad :D
3:29 am
Trifioso
he is so good at knowing when we need to cut loose and have some fun - so saturday night we checked out a absolute DIVE bar near his new house, and ended up having a blast. the band was rocking and a night of dancing like an idiot was just what I needed to shake the cobwebs off.
3:29 am
grannyrose
how long is it now, trif? that valentine has been in the picture ?
3:29 am
sprite
sounds wonderful :D
3:30 am
Trifioso
funny you should ask, grannyrose, we were just calculating that this morning over brekky. Fifteen months and going great.
3:30 am
grannyrose
lucky you, trif. nothing like a wild night to stir up the juices...
3:30 am
sprite
such a lucky man to have found you
3:30 am
grannyrose
wow!!! trif...how wonderful.
3:30 am
Trifioso
sometimes you just need to dance like a fo4. At least I do anyway.
3:31 am
sprite
dancing is a miracle
3:31 am
Trifioso
sprite, I am the lucky lucky lucky one, believe you me. He is far from perfect, of course, (he has abysmal taste in movies) but he is perfect for me.
3:32 am
grannyrose
:-(....wish i could...my days of vertical dancing are over...unless it's a slow waltz....now horizontal dancing....that's another story...lolol
3:32 am
sprite
tsk, screw that, he is the lucky one. You are a beautiful, fun, wonderful lady.
3:32 am
sprite
I hear ya, rose, lol. Same here.
3:32 am
Trifioso
I heard an expression once: dancing is a vertical expression of a horizontal desire.
3:32 am
Trifioso
thanks sprite - and RIGHT back at you!
3:33 am
grannyrose
*giggle*
3:33 am
sprite
lol almost what we say here in dutch. Dancing is the vertical translation of what is a lot more fun doing horizontal.
3:33 am

One person has written (and there are others):
Relationships are not designed to be a lifetime love nest where you live happily ever after. They are designed to teach you something. In the process of learning, love may come, love may stay, and love may go. But regardless of how it turns out, the odds are already stacked against you. When you meet someone, there's a 99 percent that the relationship will fail.

Trifioso
in any language, it's pretty true. and should tell you a LOT about what being married to an irishman was like
3:34 am
grannyrose
**** o-o ****** hello my dear man. are you coping with life well, mate?
3:34 am
Trifioso
wow, that is very profound, o-o. I have to say, I agree
3:35 am
sprite
hey o-o, great to see you. Yes, and I would add to that, that unless you grow and develop together in a relationship, it is doomed from the start.
3:35 am
Trifioso
truest words ever, sprite. if one of the people seeks only to control and put the other down, DOOM
3:36 am
grannyrose
i married my best friend...after my beloved robyn, of course.
3:37 am
sprite
*hugs rose* And you deserve double happiness.
3:38 am
Trifioso
sometimes - and only in my weaker moments - I find I resent that I only got to me4 valentine now, when we don't have so much time together. but then he reminds me - we had to walk the paths we walked to find each other. had we met 15, 20 years ago, we would not have been the same people, and may have never "happened". And then I teasingly remind him that if we had met in his 20s he would have gone to jail for dating me, a mere child :P
3:38 am
grannyrose
i think that's the key...which so many of our kids lose. make your life-partner your best friend first...
3:39 am
grannyrose
lol, trif
3:39 am
sprite
lolol Trif! Yes it is true, sometimes you need to 'ripen' before you are ready for a certain relationship.
3:39 am
Trifioso
yes. he didn't know he liked redheads.
3:39 am
Trifioso
rats. sorry
3:40 am
sprite
it is what we teach our kids here... forget how he or she looks... can you laugh with him/her? Can you really talk together? Ok, in that case, our blessing.
3:40 am
xeiluj
Morning all. Chris and I have been together for nearly 34 years and when I think of all the ups and downs we have been through adn yet are still together. I believe that you have to truly work at any relationship, not run at the first sign of trouble
3:40 am
Trifioso
absolutely sprite! what great advice!

you know, friends? when i look at photos of don, as a young man, and he looks at photos of me, as a young woman...we have decided...if we HAD met at that time...we would have been just as much in love as we are today.
3:41 am
Trifioso
I can honestly say this - what I was looking for in a later in life person was a FAR cry from what I thought I wanted and needed as a young'un
3:41 am
grannyrose
xei...your words are so true.
3:41 am
sprite
interesting, o-o.
3:41 am
sprite
awww that is so sweet, rose
3:42 am
Trifioso
oh, that is lovely, granny.
3:43 am
sprite
I have a friend my age who still is looking for a partner... and is still focussed on how he looks. I told her to grow up and go for someone to share life with, not someone to look at.
3:43 am
Trifioso
the recptionist at my old job met loser after loser after loser. I told her to look for a church going man. worked for me, anyway
3:44 am
grannyrose
thanx, o-o. will check it out tomorrow. not that i devalue what you have written. but don is pretty stringent on costs...and our download limit is past the time of this month. i have to use off-peak time.
3:44 am
sprite
hm, no guarantee there, Trif. There are as many hypocritical church goers as consistent ones.
3:45 am
grannyrose
trif, tell her to go to a baptist church...man...those baptists are so horny...lol
3:45 am
Trifioso
see, that is exactly what I mean, sprite. mr. hate is GORGEOUS, wealthy, and seemed so exactly perfect when I was younger. I was head over heels with him, as he seemed exactly what I should want. But I can tell you, from the very start I knew he wasn't as nice as he should have been. he was so...cutting. not encouraging, and SELFISH from day one. If I had been stronger in my sense of self, I would have RUN
3:46 am
Trifioso
but I have three beautiful children that I will never forget. so there is that
3:46 am
Trifioso
granny, my goodness! hahahahaha
3:46 am
grannyrose
ditto trif...
3:46 am
Trifioso
and spoken like a true european, sprite :)
3:47 am
grannyrose
well i should know...i married one...
3:47 am
sprite
lol, is it? Didn't realise we europeans were of one mind about this.
3:48 am
Trifioso
I am only generalizing, of course, but in my experience? Yup.
3:48 am
o-o
Working to make a relationship last is a concept many have no idea how to implement. So many have had bad examples. In my view, all is trial and error, and there is no one exemplar.
3:49 am
sprite
my love isn't a churchgoing man... but he is the kindest, warmest, funniest, sweetest soul I ever met.
3:50 am
Trifioso
they are not mutually exclusive, sprite, in any way! I just sort of sensed she would have better luck in a church than in the scuzzy other places she was trolling. mind you, she never said no to ANYONE that asked.
3:50 am
sprite
oh, don't start me on bad examples, o-o... my parents were the epitome of being hateful to eachother. And to us. Thank God we can learn later in life how to be better about relationships.
3:50 am
grannyrose
hmmm, o-o. if we listen and observe our spouses, there is no guess work involved. one needs to have a loving heart, and a clear idea of what one will accept.
3:51 am
sprite
sounds like she would benefit from some work on herself first, in my opinion, Trif. To value herself more. To find a great partner, you first have to be a great partner :)
3:52 am
Trifioso
mr. hate and I fell into this awful pattern where we bickered and picked at each other all the time. I have made a very, very conscious decision to NOT be that way - ever- with my dear Valentine. if there is something that really needs to be discussed, then so be it. but stuff like bad movies? I could care less. I bring some knitting, and happily keep him company while he watches them. At least I get to be near him, and sometimes I put my foot down and insist that we watch something with a good plot, and where no one catches on fire, which seems to be paramount in his viewing choice....
3:52 am
o-o
That may be true for you, granny. Many have never acquired the skills you speak of.
3:53 am
sprite
I am with o-o on the trial and error. Sometimes you think what you do is just fine, or you don't think at all because to you it is normal. And then you find out it isn't either of those... and you change things... and it gets better.
3:54 am
Trifioso
I am only halfway with you on that one, sprite. there are a lot of shades of normal, and just because I might do it differently, doesnt mean I am doing it wrong. But I also agree that there are always new ways of learning to do things. I guess an open mind and open heart are the key
3:55 am
sprite
sounds good, Trif. Skills my love and I learned are, among others: not to criticise; to speak up about what we need and want and wish and not expect the other to read our mind; to say 'I' in discussions and not 'You'; to support eachother in endeavors that are important to us.
3:55 am
Trifioso
that is beautiful sprite!
3:56 am
Trifioso
I am struggling like crazy with the line between want/need, and how to express same. was absolutely NOT allowed in my marriage, so its a new skill set for me.
3:56 am
o-o
There is no normal except in a statistical sense. Those in a relationship often disagree about what each considers common sense.
3:56 am
sprite
hm no, different doesn't mean wrong. But especially when you have grown up in a very screwed up family, you have some ingrained patterns that are pretty sick and you have no idea that they are patterns, nor that they are sick. Until you learn.
3:57 am
sprite
need = almost impossible to live without.
want = would really really like this to be/happen
3:57 am
Trifioso
I feared that I would be alone too long, and then get so set in my ways that I could not change them.
3:58 am
grannyrose
o-o, it so sad to think there are so many people who cannot communicate their needs...or allow their spouse to voice what they need, without feeling hurt and rejected.
3:58 am
Trifioso
i am not particularly deft at it, granny. I either can't express it clearly, or I DEMAND, neither of which is quite the goal. As I said, I am working on it.
3:59 am
sprite
to communicate your needs, you first have to know yourself well enough to know your needs, and then value yourself enough to feel you have a right to try for them.
4:00 am
sprite
*hugs Trif* Nobody is perfect, and we all have things we are not particularly skilled in, lol. And still we are lovable.
4:00 am
Trifioso
its definitely the biggest mine field valentine and I walk on. He was bullied, to an extent, in his marriage, so when he feels he is being pressured, or told what to do, he shuts down. so when I get all demanding, no one is going to have a good day. We are learning.
4:01 am
Trifioso
we talk about landmines all the time - it's how we have come to define relationship explosives left by the previous tenants.
4:01 am
grannyrose
good for you trif. i wish you the best. it is so hard to communicate to another person what you actually need..and even more difficult to stand back, and view your beloved's demands dispassionately.
4:01 am
sprite
Trif, my love and I went into couple therapy early in our relation because we really had to learn how to communicate. Both coming from screwed up families. And now we are married almost 18 years, together at least 2 years longer.
4:02 am
Trifioso
he doesn't demand a thing. which I have to admit, is both lovely, and wicked irritating LOLOL
4:02 am
Trifioso
how lovely sprite!
4:02 am
grannyrose
trif...you and he....slow down....when one of you demands....the other needs to say....time out...
4:03 am
o-o
Concepts like is being right more important that maintaining a friendship/relationship, making boundaries, fighting fairly and knowing when to pick a fight because the issue is so important to you never cross the mind of many.
4:03 am
sprite
timeouts are wonderful.
4:03 am
Trifioso
I am just so happy we both found each other. Of course there are things we have to finesse more than other things. but I thank god EVERY SINGLE DAY for putting him in my path. I have never laughed so hard, felt so loved, felt I had so much love to give, or danced so much in my life. He's LOVELY
4:03 am
sprite
amen to all those, o-o
4:04 am
sprite
yay, Trif! So happy for you!
4:04 am
grannyrose
yes, o-o...so true. and trif...my heart dances with you both.
4:05 am
sprite
oh, one last thing that I think is important: show your love. Touch. Hug. Wink. Smile. Put that silly little note in his suitcase when he goes away for the weekend.
4:05 am
Trifioso
granny dear, that is EXACTLY why he and I don't live in the same house, as yet. I am not ready to give up this independence that was so hard fought, and he needs to be on his own for a bit longer. (he was only divorced 2.5 years ago, and needs to grow into himself as a singleton a bit more. being able to have our own space works very well for us right now.
4:05 am
Trifioso
oh, I am ALL OVER that one, sprite, and so is he!
4:06 am
sprite
great :) I thought you'd be. Just stating it because it is so so so important.
4:07 am
sprite
where is our pug, btw?
4:07 am
Trifioso
in grid news - those upper left o's are poopy little buggers
4:07 am
sprite
lol indeed
4:10 am
puglet
Hello Friends--had a wind storm here and it knocked out the electric here in the neighborhood
4:10 am
sprite
ah, glad to see you, pug! Just was asking about you.
4:12 am
puglet

4:12 am
sprite
hehehe *hugs pugs*
4:12 am
puglet
hugs back :)
4:12 am
Trifioso
any damage puglet?
4:13 am
o-o
everyone needs to raise their hands ... since many hands make light work.
4:13 am
grannyrose
i have to admit...i found it very strange that our pugs was so quiet...*giggle*
4:13 am
puglet
its still dark out--wind must of blowed a tree over the lines somewhere
4:14 am
grannyrose
pugs is not one to stay in the background...
4:14 am
grannyrose
roflol, o-o
4:14 am
puglet
lol-yes that wind just came all at once in a big blast
4:14 am
puglet
Morning OO and Tri
4:14 am

4:15 am
Trifioso
morning puglet
4:15 am
Trifioso

4:15 am
puglet

4:16 am
puglet

4:17 am
grannyrose

4:17 am
puglet
Iam almost always up at this time Tri
4:18 am
puglet
got a double dose of OO in the grid today-:)
4:18 am
sprite
did you get some sleep, pugs, and did your arm behave this time?
4:19 am
grannyrose
good question, sprite.
4:19 am
puglet
Arm is fine and yes I did sleep pretty well for a change---How was you day yesterday? Did you get all the things done that you wanted
4:20 am
puglet
And Mrs Rose-the electric went out before I got your answer about yesterday
4:20 am
grannyrose
pugs, did you have to apply a compression bandage, or did it settle down on it's own?
4:21 am
sprite
am glad, pugs! You were due a break. I am fine. Did all I planned to do, cooked dinner and my love was so happy with it all. So all was good. Boy misbehaved, but not into extremes, just rude and lazy and moody.
4:21 am
puglet
it settled on its own and I did watch how I used it
4:21 am
rubyfoo
good morning, however late
4:21 am
sprite
good morning ruby :)
4:21 am
puglet
Morning Ruby
4:21 am
grannyrose
ohhhhh, and here's our ruby...
4:22 am
grannyrose
good for you, pugs
4:23 am
puglet
tomorrow I go to the doctor over the sugar thing--so hopefully I will know what is going on there
4:23 am
grannyrose

4:24 am
puglet
nice Rose--is he spending the night too
4:24 am
Trifioso
geesh, nbt at LONG last!
4:24 am
grannyrose
pugs, that is so in the fore-front of my mind...i hope the doctor has some answers, hun.
4:24 am
puglet
did I run OO off
4:24 am
sprite
yay for babysitting! Remember that it is only a matter of speech, rose, or Deacon will end up too flat.
4:25 am
rubyfoo
late morning for me, Godgather 2 and 3 were on and I stated up long past midnight....dumb
4:25 am
puglet
I still cant believe I got it
4:25 am
rubyfoo
But I thought part 2 was etter than the 1st one
4:25 am
grannyrose
nah, pugs...Lucinda is picking him up mid-afternoon.
4:25 am
Trifioso
falling asleep at last. nap time for me. lots of love all
4:26 am
puglet
Hugs Tri--hope you can rest now
4:26 am
sprite
*hugs pugs* I know, right? Such a crazy thing to happen. Seems it runs in your family.
4:26 am
grannyrose
nice, trif. hope you sleep well, dear. don't forget us. xoxox
4:26 am
sprite
nice, Trif! Sleep well, sweet dreams and lots of *hugs*
4:26 am
Trifioso
I wont', not ever!
4:26 am
puglet
I guess so Sprite--but looks like I would have had some signs
4:26 am
grannyrose
aagghhh, sprite...we are so in sync...
4:27 am
sprite
I didn't have them either, pug. It doesn't always work that way, alas.
4:27 am
sprite
we usually are, sister of my soul ;)
4:30 am
sprite
pug, you do know it is ok to rant and rave about it, don't you? And to cry and feel betrayed by your body and all that. It is a bit like mourning, to learn you have such a disease. You kinda have to mourn the loss of your healthy body.
4:32 am
puglet
I dont like being a wet blanket Sprite--and causing everyone to have a bad though on the days
4:33 am
sprite
sweetie, you are not here to entertain us or keep us upbeat. You are here because you belong with us, we are friends. And as your friends, we want you to tell us how you really are and feel.
4:33 am
grannyrose
awww, pugs...you are such a valued friend...if you need to rant and rave....go for it.
4:34 am
rubyfoo
all of us go through rough time, whether it's our marriages, children or health, and since we care for each other, it is great to have this place for talking about how we feel
4:34 am
rubyfoo
we are all long-distance "sisters"
4:34 am
grannyrose
what ruby said...pugs.
4:34 am
sprite
pugs, imagine I would never talk about my issues, only be happy-go-lucky here. Wouldn't you hate it that I kept my pain away from you?
4:35 am
sprite
we are, ruby
4:35 am
puglet
You guys would not like the things that goes through my mind for I dont like it myself
4:36 am
puglet
its you guys on here that gives me hope on the new days and I love each of you very much
4:36 am
sprite
it is not about whether we like it or not, pugs. It is about sharing with your friends, so we can see how it really is with you atm. Please tell us. It is a nasty blow to learn you have diabetes yourself.
4:38 am
rubyfoo
pugs:EACH OF US FEELS NEGATIE AND SOMETIMES AWFUL THOUGHTS FROM TIME TO TIME; IT IS NORMAL. I JOKE WITH MY FRIEND FROM sa ABOUT SHOOTING MY HUSBAND THROUGH THE BATHROOM DOOR. nOT NICE, BBUT IT IS ALMOST FUNNY
4:38 am
rubyfoo
whoops, didn't *** to shout
4:39 am
grannyrose
*hands ruby the gun* my darling...could i persuade you to something more subtle...like poison...
4:39 am
sprite
I'll tell you some of my thoughts at that time.
1. f*ck it all, not this too, what am I living for anyway, I'd just as good could be dead.
2. I'll ignore it, so hell if it kills me quicker that way.
3. Woe me, why me, God or fate or whatever are always out to get me.
So... what are YOUR thoughts?
4:39 am
puglet
since His last bout-I honestly feel my soul and whatever else has just gave up on life and Iam tired of the constant battle and truthfully Iam ready to go home--and if it werent for you all and OO--I have no reason to look for a tomorrow---now thats my thoughts
4:39 am
rubyfoo
she and I talk about that awful Pistorius, that's why we make that joke
4:40 am
rubyfoo
Whe I had cancer, tthere was a group "Whyme?" And my answer ws always, "Why not me?"
4:41 am
grannyrose
pugs, you do so to have a reason to look for a tomorrow...me...sprite...ruby...liz...\nbarbie...
4:41 am
sprite
see, I thought it might be something like that. Pugs, I think it is perfectly normal to have such thoughts and feelings in your situation. It is a helluva job you have there. Please please vent it more... either here or in email or through gmail chat. Please don't try to hide it from us. We want to be there for you.
4:42 am
rubyfoo
and as my Mormon friend used to say "God only gives us as much as we can handle" and "What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger"
4:43 am
sprite
true, ruby! Best answer ever. But it is also important to allow yourself a bit of self pity. Not all day through, but once a day, to vent and cry and let all those feelings out.
4:43 am
grannyrose
ruby...those quotes are straight from the bible...it is non-sectarian.
4:43 am
sprite
But God shouldn't always measure our ability to the very last nanometer!
4:44 am
o-o
You have been abused, pug; criminally. You feel shame. You will not forgive yourself for things you did not choose nor have control over. It is easy to say but so hard to do ... you must find a purpose and put meaning in your life. What you have experienced will be extremely difficult to overcome without professional help. Then again ... I am the last one to lecture you.
4:44 am
grannyrose
o-o...please lecture her...your words are so good for her.
4:45 am
sprite
o-o... exactly. The whole truth in one paragraph. That is it, pugs. So much that wasn't your fault and that you blame yourself for anyway.
4:45 am
rubyfoo
I thank God every day -- for every day. I have lost so many riends and relatives already from cancer that each day is a gift no matter how bad things sometimes get. Unfortunately, I can't cry any more as I am the one who has to hold things together
4:45 am
puglet
thanks guys--you all help me more then you know or I can say
4:45 am
sprite
we love you, pug. More than you realise. You are important to me and I need you in my life.
4:46 am
grannyrose
ruby, my darling...it is the pits...when you can't cry....
4:46 am
rubyfoo
with a big hug for all you friends, now I must make lunch for Mr. Nasty lol
4:46 am
sprite
ruby... call me up and cry with me... I am there for you, you know that.
4:46 am
rubyfoo
I only cry at movies....lol
4:47 am
puglet
as I need you all too :)---and if I can make you guys smile or feel good that makes me feel worthwhile
4:47 am
sprite
tell him hi from me, ruby. And take good care of yourself as well. *hugs*
4:47 am

puglet
thats gross
4:48 am
rubyfoo
did you every see "War of the Rose?" They do worse! lol
4:48 am
sprite
pugs, you are worthwhile just the way you are. You don't have to do anything or make us feel anything for it. Just being you is enough.
4:49 am
sprite
I saw half of it, ruby. Couldn't stand to see more. It was so like my parents' marriage.
4:50 am
rubyfoo
amen to that, sprite. We love you just as you are, pugs, and if we can make you smile a little, so much the better, little red-haired friend.
4:51 am
puglet
a person has to have something to look forward to to want to continue on and though I might drive you all crazy with cards and stuff it gives me a reason to go on
4:53 am
puglet
I think the sky has ripped open---its a pouring--lol
4:54 am
sprite
you don't drive me crazy at all, pugs. Please keep on writing and sending cards, I love it :)

No, no pix. They were so tired they slept all the way home and then for the rest of the afternoon
6:28 am

I spend at least an hour/night combing Rufie, partly to cuddle him and partly to look for ticks

baby girl is less patient and needs most grooming than she'll permit, but she's getting a little bit calmer every day
6:29 am

have you seen the mini doggie shower/wash off areas you can buy pre-made for your patio, porch or outbuilding. I wish we had one of those when we used to raise pure-bred shepards!
6:30 am
rubyfoo
we have a "dog shower" in front of the house but the dogs are so big and strong that it's practically impossible to get them to stand in the tub. Then, when they're clean, they tend to look for the closest dirt to roll in
6:30 am
bichon
Mine don't really like the brushing, especially their power puff tails. But, they'll put up with it
6:31 am

we're waiting 'til it's a bit warmer to wash Raffie as there's no way she can be dried
6:31 am
crosshair
poor ruby, for a little gal, you chose some big doggies:(
6:31 am
bichon
I don't have the patience to bathe and dry them. They just get baths when they're grromed, every 8 weeks
6:32 am
rubyfoo
I use a comb as brushing doesn't get deep enough. As for Rufie's tail, I comb it like you would a horse's tail as it's about the same texture (and length lol)
6:32 am
bichon
First I brush, then comb.
6:33 am
crosshair
lol 16 and sunny today, minus 3c and snow and ice pellets tonight:(
6:33 am

I can't take them to a groomer for many reasons 1) there's only one in the valley who'll do chows and it's far and 2) the two won't fit in the car at the same time and 3) I can't get them into the car anyway and DH is no help
6:33 am

that's why we never plant till May 24th
6:34 am

poor ruby:) naughty puppies
6:34 am
rubyfoo
The "baby" weighs more than 30 kg already (Moose-girl) and has never been in the car and Rufie weighs about 36 kg (80 lbs, so no way with him)
6:34 am
bichon
There are lots of mobile groomers. They have vans with all the equiment. Works out wonderfully.
6:35 am
rubyfoo
When we lived in Miami (with two other chows) the groomer would come in his air-cont=conditioned van and take them to his salon. And it cost half what it costs here!
6:35 am
crosshair
or get one of those power wash wands you can buy for cleaning the sides of buildings. They take a soap cartridge and screw right to you garden hose. Tie the pooch to a handy tree, stand back 15 feet, and wash away!
6:36 am
rubyfoo
Nobody is that enterprising here, but it would be great. I'd be happy to pay for that convenience!
6:37 am

you can even get those wands with a foaming , soapy rotating brush
6:37 am

With cold water. No way for these babies

River, Did the shot for your back help?
7:46 am
Riverdance
had the shot in my hip on Wednesday - got a couple days of relief but now after sitting for a while it hurts when I get up. Have to stand for a minute before I can walk and then it is OK. So some improvement as I had pain all the time before. Sitting compresses the hip joint that I dont have any more.
7:46 am
Riverdance
thanks for asking
7:46 am

I am still hopeful
7:47 am

Glad youre getting some relief.

Are you still going to Ireland next month? I hope you are. Quite a trip.
7:48 am

the radiologist that did the injection told me it may take a week or more before I really see any difference. I already do so am hopeful. Just wish it took care of all the pain but nothing they can really do when my joint is gone other than surgery
7:49 am
Riverdance
I am - leaving in 17 days
7:49 am

I did get a prescription for pain killers in case. I haven't taken them yet but it will be good to have.

There's such a song?
9:51 am
Scrabbler
I never heard that joke before, aeb.
9:51 am
MollyL
It's one of those silly songs...ce6 mixer, putti, putti...the version she was stuck on was popular in the 40's by Alvino Rey & His Orchestra

Ok, before my time

She did sing some songs I do remember, "You are My Sunshine" and something with little lambs eat ivy

MollyL
My Mom loved the silly songs. Hut Sut Ralston, Mares Eat Oats, etc.

10:19 am
Aloyisius

10:20 am
MimiCat
This deal was $17 for dinner for two including beverage and dessert..not alcoholic beverage, though.
10:21 am

I had a thought (and that doesn't happen often)....you could sign up for the Amazon Local in this zip and find deals for your daughter and her family.
10:21 am

You can always add muscle. And sincerely, obsessing over two pounds is not necessary.

11:46 am

Kids do not break up here in the UK untill about 19 July..lol
11:49 am

Sorry if I came on too strong Ruby. But I know a lot of people who have suffered with eating disorders and I'm sensitive to people using the term "getting fat".
11:49 am

When I was a kid in NY, we went to school until the last Friiday of June and started on the day after Labor Day
11:50 am
cosdem
we start 2nd week of august
11:50 am

which is stupid becuase we get a week off for labor day.
11:51 am
MollyL
Our school year ended at the beginning of June and started at the beginning of September. We had a full, three month summer.
11:51 am
rubyfoo
I just weigh myself every day and try to eat accordingly. I am just much hungrier than usual which is a little bit scary. Maybe I have a tapeworm. Just kidding
11:51 am

That is a big chunk of time off school, Molly, bet you loved tht when you were a child.

My weight has beeSorry to mention it.n stable for so long that this seems dramatic.
11:52 am

Kids should have a summer vacation to unwind and have fun. I am very opposed to year 'round schooling.
11:52 am
rubyfoo
When I was a teacher, I used to take summer jobs to fill in the "paycheck blanks"
11:54 am
MollyL
I think most teachers and people in the education field get paid year 'round now. At least those in the higher levels.
11:54 am
cybernan
hello everyone :)
11:54 am

when I was a teacher, that wasn't the case and summers were very tough
11:55 am

hello Nan
11:55 am
MollyL
I know they advertise jobs in our county as "9 month and 12 month" positions. The grunt jobs are 9 month.
11:56 am
rubyfoo
Teaching art in a small town was definitely "grunt"
11:57 am
cybernan
HI --may I vote for a 2 month summer break? Also think compulsory school years should be extended from 12 to 13 --- there is so much more for kids to learn today than when we were young -- trying to cram it all in to 12 years makes thinks too much more intensive and a lot of topics are skipped altogeter. Not good for a well rounded education.
11:57 am
jaxx7
We have term time only positions -39 weeks. These are paid over 12 months. this stops Teaching assistants and the like getting benefits in the holidays.
11:57 am
cybernan
*things, not thinks
11:58 am
rubyfoo
I think many, maybe most, districts have eliminated art and music education altogether
11:58 am
rubyfoo
andmaybe even gym
11:59 am
cybernan
along with ancient world history
12:01 pm
MollyL
Nan, I think an extra year of high school would be great. Most kids are not ready for college at the age they go.
12:02 pm
MollyL
Society, as a whole, is going to pay dearly for the elimination of art and music in school curriculums.
12:02 pm
zoozzoom
Here in the UK they want to put the age for leaving school to 18 instead of the now 16 years of age.
12:04 pm

I think you will find they already have. OK for the academic child but hard on the disaffected one
12:04 pm

I've been finding large white grubs, c-shaped, in my little bit of digging. I've been putting them into the fishpond (filled with heron-traumatized fish). Does anybody know if that's a good idea?
12:05 pm
zoozzoom
Yes, Ruby, Goldfish love grubs.
12:05 pm
rubyfoo
and what will the grubs become when they grow up
12:05 pm
rubyfoo
ty, zzoozz
12:06 pm
zoozzoom
Koi carp love them too :-)
12:06 pm
jaxx7
They could be vine weevils or cockchafer grubs. The fish will love them. Our hanging baskets were full of vine weevil grubs this year. the Robin loved them!
12:06 pm
zoozzoom
Damn..sorry...going stealth mode..lol
12:06 pm
MollyL
The only grubs we have here are the ones who hang out in front of the 7-11 : D
12:07 pm

: D Zoom. Don't forget the sponge : )
12:08 pm

I'm getting over my worm phobia except if they're in vegs

I can't stand centipedes, Ruby. Imagine my horror when my son decided to keep a tropical one. There was no anti venom for it either. I used to throw the ironing in from the door
12:10 pm
MollyL
Oh, a big thanks but no thanks to the lizards.
: O
12:11 pm
rubyfoo
Once, in SA on biz, I stayed in a rondevel and there was a huge poisonous (I think) centipede in the tub and I had to call the (handsome) game warden totake care of it
12:11 pm
jaxx7
That's a good excuse, Ruby
12:12 pm
rubyfoo
I guess we are all afraid of different things, but NEVER game wardens
12:12 pm
jaxx7
You were not a poacher then?
12:12 pm
rubyfoo
I was still running at that time, and the warden used to run behind me with a rifle, saying "You look like breakfast to a lion" lol
12:13 pm
jaxx7
bet that filled you with confidence
12:13 pm
rubyfoo
I thought he was kidding
12:13 pm
rubyfoo
I actually ran, solo, in downtown Johannesburg
12:14 pm
jaxx7
Good, because he probably wasn't
12:14 pm
rubyfoo
but I think that was just stupid
12:15 pm
rubyfoo
I was a BRASH, TOUGH GAL IN THOSE DAYS....NOT ANY MORE
12:15 pm
jaxx7
and running in the African bush isn't?
12:16 pm
rubyfoo
I was a bit compulsive about running but it paid off in the end

12:36 pm

clue for the pl 7;36?
12:36 pm
Nef
Good Afternoon, Everyone. (Or should I say "Anyone"?)
12:37 pm
hootowl
pl7 is a flat mountain?
12:37 pm
Nef
Sorry, Nicky, I don't have it yet (just starting) But I will look for it with you
12:37 pm
hego
Nicky, do not have that one.
12:37 pm
Nef
thanks hootowl
12:38 pm
Nef
Hi hego and hootowl
12:38 pm
cybernan
2nd ce 7, please?
12:38 pm
Nicky6
Thanks hootowl!
12:39 pm
hootowl
first is vowel added to previous, second is
12:39 pm
hootowl
listed as "place where last supper was served
12:40 pm
hego
going to have to think about that one. ty
12:40 pm
hootowl
but I always thoughtit was a place for a religious retreat
12:40 pm
hootowl
yw Nicky
12:40 pm
hego
that makes more sense.
12:41 pm
hootowl
I think I monkeyed it
12:41 pm
hego
and I thought the Last Supper was upstairs in a public house.
12:42 pm
cybernan
is the last supper place the ce 7?
12:42 pm
hootowl
probably named after the fact. It was new to me too.
12:42 pm
Nef
hego, I've been taught it was a private house with the dining room upstairs
12:42 pm
cybernan
no idea - monkeys not working
12:42 pm
Nef
Do you need a different clue, cyber?
12:42 pm
hego
no one really knows.
12:43 pm
hootowl
very true
12:43 pm
Nef
ce=a penny (minus second cons.) +vowel + my un*** Chris raised me\
12:44 pm
hego
very good Nef!
12:45 pm
hego
hard to clue
12:45 pm
Nef
thanks hego.
12:45 pm
MollyL
The Catholics say the last supper was held in a private home, possibly that of an apostle, Nicodemus or Joseph of Arimethea.
12:46 pm
cybernan
only vowel I can see that works with that is the a, and that's not it
12:46 pm
hego
it is in the middle
12:46 pm
MollyL
Yes it does, look at Nef's clue again.
12:48 pm
hootowl
ce + sodium chloride + vowel
12:48 pm
cybernan
only vowel between the t and the c that I can see is the a -- and that word isn't accepted
12:48 pm
MollyL
Kind of odd that the ce7 is defined the way it is. The language spoken by Jesus and his people was Aramaic, not Middle English or French.
12:48 pm
MollyL
There is no T, Nef's clue says minus the last letter
12:49 pm
hootowl
VERY old dictionary is Enable!
12:49 pm
cybernan
oh -- drop third consonant, not the 2nd -- got it - ty
12:49 pm
MollyL
Oh, now I see the confusion. Her clue says minus the second consonant N not the last letter T
12:49 pm
Nef
OOPS! My clue was wrong! I meant the 3rd cons. not the 2nd!
12:50 pm
MollyL
Hi Hoot : )
12:51 pm
MollyL
No worries Nef, we all goof on clues : D
12:51 pm
hootowl
If it helps any...there are a lot of 3 letter combo words and usege od double e
12:51 pm
hootowl
usage of ee
12:52 pm
cybernan

*Scared that Nef is a nurse : O
12:54 pm
Nef
don't worry, Molly, I'm retired (and nothing has been life-threatening -- yet)
12:56 pm
cybernan
last me 6, please?
12:56 pm
Nef
As a nurse, we have to do the 5 rights of meds and triple check everything else it seemed. But now that I'm retired, I don't NEED to know my right form my left so much and that's where I went wrong this AM
12:57 pm
hego
I hear you, Nef!
12:57 pm
Marc Freeman
I am confused which doesn't take much. I got the ce7 that was where the Last Supper took place. But could someone clue again the other ce7, please?
12:57 pm
cybernan
concrete + vowel
12:57 pm
kje
concrete + vowel, marc
12:58 pm

when my husband had his dog bits, they mistakenly ave him 5 tetanus shots in the ER
1:12 pm

that's like amputating the wrong leg
1:12 pm
hego
I can't imagine how that could happen.
1:13 pm
rubyfoo
he's very passive and was shocky
1:13 pm
MollyL
Unless they mistook tetanus for rabies
1:13 pm
hego
still, they are responsible, gosh!

sorry, had a phone call there; but ruby, that's terrible! Someone really blew it (and it had to be written up and reviewed and whoever made that mistake was probably in deep doodoo too!
1:18 pm
MLFAN17
thanks forte ce 7/36 clue
1:20 pm
Nef
I know nurses who have lost their jobs from medication errors; even IF the doctor was the one who made the mistake in the first place! I did see 1 resident (last year of med school) who flunked out for the year due to her trying to make a med error in spite of nurses and the pharmacist refusing to follow her orders.
1:20 pm
MollyL
I have heard that medical care in other countries is sub-standard to US medical care. Which is why so many people come here from other countries to go to medical school.
1:22 pm
Nef
I'm not so sure about that, Molly. The med schools here are considered superior to those in some other countries though; but it may be due to the higher technologies available to med schools here for all I know
1:22 pm
cybernan
had to go talk to the gardener -- last me 6/24, please?

I've never tried to take naps before; but the last time I saw my doc he advised me to try taking a short nap during the day (no longer than 1/2 hour); so I do try every so often. I'll be back in a bit!

5:11 pm
crosshair
Life is often compared to a roller coaster, but I find the Ferris wheel more metaphorically appropriate. On it, we still go high and low; but the pace is more relaxed because there isn't a point in going nowhere fast. It's enjoyable ride because sometimes, if you're lucky, you'll even stop at the top. - xtine
5:13 pm

Okay, heading out to make dinner...bbl...maybe...have a nice evening everyone! Nice analogy crossy dear!
