12:16 am
jillibus
dee, since March I've had a whole lot of unexpected expenses and things! The heavy snowfall broke my giant old oak, so I had to have that aken care of -- I wanted to light my gas fireplace during a power outage -- no gas, so had to get the propane tank filled. Then I found I had carpenter ants and had to get the pest control people in and spend 6 hours away from the house, so I had my car serviced off island. Had a routine doctor'sa ppointment the next day, and stupidly backed out of the garage and hit the gardener's truck , so big repairs needed. Came home from that to find my hot water tank had leaked so I had to get a new one. Oh yes, and then there was home inusrance to renew and community sewer fees to pay -- I've probably left something out, but enough, awreddy!
12:16 am
VolleymomDee
I saw your post on FB. I was hoping you had gotten some help with your leak.
12:17 am
jillibus
Oh yes, my wonderful neighbours helped out a lot. I really had a meltdown but they were soothing.
12:18 am
VolleymomDee
Really glad for that. Sure sounded like a plateful of challenges.

ty rose... red boxes here for a minute. (((rose))) (((flosey)))
1:16 am
flosey
I had a couple Dee, but not bothersome
1:16 am
grannyrose
flosey, i posted a congrats and nothing happened, like it got lost in cyberspace. so i typed it again, and then both came through at the same time...weird
1:17 am
flosey
sometimes, strange things happen in here
1:17 am
grannyrose
yeah, the bermuda triangle has moved to our house.
1:18 am
grannyrose
i think don is losing it...he has lost several keys, singly, for different cupboards etc. the other day he lost the garage keys.
1:19 am
grannyrose
and he has the nerve to look at my accusingly...lol...then we found the keys. he had locked them in the garage..*sigh*
1:20 am
flosey
lol, safely locked out!
1:20 am
grannyrose
*shaking head, and grinning ruefully* yes.
1:20 am
saanichcat
actually, and not to make light of it, the time to worry is not where you lose you keys --- it's when you forget what they'ew for
1:21 am
grannyrose
lolol, saani....been there, done that. we have a box of keys, and no id4 what they are for.
1:22 am
saanichcat
what I ment was, what a key does, what it is!
1:22 am
flosey
we have several in the drawer where all keys are kept - many could have been replaced but not destroyed! a bad mistake
1:23 am
grannyrose
oh....of course you did, dear...*giggling furiously* i can be so slow, sometimes it drives don crazy.
1:23 am
saanichcat
my Mum, a chain smoker, suddenly out of the blue, forgot what a cigarette was! (she has AL)
1:24 am
flosey
ah, sorry about that, but cigs a good thing to forget
1:25 am
grannyrose
good grief...well at least there wont be any danger of fire with her. but not to minimise her condition...my mum didn't know me at all just before she died. it cut deep.
1:25 am
saanichcat
agreeeed. As soon as she forgot, out went anything to do with smoking. We were concerned about fire.
1:25 am
flosey
that would hurt, rose
1:26 am
saanichcat
My Mum actually died in my arms a few years back and she didn't know who I was, only that she liked me.
1:26 am
grannyrose
flosey, i realise now that she was hypoxic. her poor old heart just wasn't working hardly at all. her brain wasn't getting enough oxygen, even on oxygen therapy.
1:28 am
grannyrose
saani, believe it or not, you were fortunate. my poor mum died with only strangers around her. she was in hospital, having fallen and broken her arm.
1:28 am
saanichcat
oh I am so sorry rose.
1:29 am
grannyrose
i never got to say good-bye.
1:29 am
flosey
such a tough way to go - and for loved ones to see
1:31 am
grannyrose
but thankfully i had visited her the day before, and i was getting ready to visit her again, when the hospital called.
1:31 am

did you find anything worthwhile
2:50 am

good morning all :)
2:50 am

I wouldnt think you would ever be like that
2:51 am

good morning Sprite
2:51 am

*uncrossing eyes* have just started a 360 piece jigsaw. cooee and g'day from me
2:51 am
sprite
*hugs pugs* How are you today, my friend? Did you get some sleep?
2:51 am
puglet
so happy for your good news! You got to be proud of that
2:52 am
puglet
yes I did, too much I think-lol
2:52 am
sprite
hello o-o, good to see you :) I hope you are ok.
2:52 am
sprite
lol hi rose *hugs* They are so much fun.
2:52 am
grannyrose
pugs, although your news was not the best, at last something is happening for you. sprite?? WAY TO GO, GIRL!! what wonderful news.
2:53 am
sprite
thank you, pugs! Yes I was a bit proud indeed, and so very happy with it. Shows that I did really good with eating this last half year.
2:53 am
puglet
Howdy Rose --hugs to all three of you guys
2:53 am
sprite
thanks rose :)
2:53 am
sprite
hehehe no such thing, pugs. You really needed a good sleep to start recuperating (sp?) from it all.
2:53 am
grannyrose
now if we can just get pugs and o-o both sorted out, life would be grand.
2:54 am
puglet
it wiped me out yesterday---besides going to the doc I had to go get xrays done at the hospital on the hernia
2:54 am
sprite
alas, some issues are a lot harder to resolve than mine. But yes, my wishes go with yours, rose.
2:55 am
sprite
pugs, I really understand that it is exhausting to go through the medical mill. But I am so happy you finally get the help you need.
2:55 am
grannyrose
oh, and the fella from workcover came...he just couldn't believe what the last 3 years have been like for don and me.
2:55 am
sprite
really? What did he say, rose???
2:57 am
grannyrose
lol. he said when he hears stories like don's and mine, he can't believe we still get up in the morning.
2:57 am
puglet
so is he for you
2:57 am
sprite
aw and he is so right about that. So what was his verdict?
2:58 am
grannyrose
yes, pugs. and he said the company have a snowball's chance in hell, getting the builders to pay for my workcover claims.
2:58 am
puglet
is it normal for workcover to pay you a visit
2:58 am
sprite
lol did you tell him you have to get up because we are here and we need you? :)
2:58 am

May I please have a clue for se6-27? Thanks

May I please have a clue for se6-27? Thanks
2:59 am
puglet
I cant see how they could be held in fault either
2:59 am
grannyrose
no, pugs. it is out of the ordinary.
2:59 am
sprite
yay yay yay, he got it nailed on the head.
2:59 am
sprite
hi peach :) Sorry, nothing over 5 here yet, lol.
2:59 am

2:59 am

I thought those were called seals.

sprite
or seels... jeezzz what's with me this morning.
3:00 am
gapeach
Thanks so much, rose.
3:00 am
grannyrose
pugs, it wasn't the builders fault. it was the environmental service, employed by the hospital who were at fault.
3:00 am
puglet
thks Rose, what a weird word
3:01 am
grannyrose
pugs, it is an old name for a sailor
3:01 am
puglet
who ever wet the floor and then not mark it wet are the ones at fault
3:01 am
sprite
I really think they are trying to cover their own butts, rose, which means they know they are so screwed when you decide to sue them.
3:01 am
puglet
thanks for the info
3:02 am
puglet
seems like they are going to spend more money trying to tag someone else with the screw up
3:02 am
grannyrose
*nodding head* you are so right. i am going to ring my union tomorrow, and get the name of the firm they use. as a member, i free access to a lawyer through them.
3:03 am
puglet
thats a good ideal Rose
3:03 am
grannyrose
lol, pugs, exactly...this guy wouldn't come cheaply, i can tell you.
3:03 am
sprite
very good, rose. I think if you are up to the hassle, it would be good to sue them. They were clearly in the wrong, but more importantly, they still try to blame you and force you to go back to work before you can... give them something to think about.
3:04 am
puglet
is all this getting to you Rose
3:04 am
sprite
I hope you are still with us, o-o, even though quietly. Just wanted to say that you are in my thoughts and prayers a lot these days.
3:04 am
grannyrose
sprite, i have been up front and quite blunt with them. i have told them i will give it a b****y good try, but if i can't do it, i can't do it.
3:05 am
sprite
good for you, rose! And please please please don't go to extremes. If you ask me, you should only do about 1/4 of what you think is normal!
3:06 am
puglet
sounds like Rose they are going to drag this out as long as they can
3:06 am
grannyrose
a few months ago it would have...but now i've got the gloves on, and i'm coming out of the corner, swinging.
3:07 am
sprite
well the nice thing is that the union can hold on for very long as well. Longer than you could privately handle.
3:07 am
puglet
Iam more worried about the toll on you Rose---you dont need more drama while you are trying to heal yourself
3:07 am
grannyrose
oh, and i drove the car today for the first time. went really well too. also finished the supermarket shopping. also did the easter shopping for the kids. and hydro, and physio, and, and...nope nothing else.
3:08 am
sprite
true, that, pugs. That is why I say, if you can handle the hassle.
3:08 am
sprite
omg rose... that is quite the program. And how are you feeling, how is the pain?
3:08 am
puglet
good for you Rose! now we will see how it effected you tomorrow
3:09 am
grannyrose
i'm just a little stiff, is all. i think i will sleep tonight.
3:10 am
sprite
sounds good. If your FM doesn't play up tomorrow, you are really on your way to mend. How is the pain medication going?
3:10 am
puglet
maybe this will be our year of healing for us all--including OO too--:)
3:11 am
grannyrose
still only one slow release tablet every 36hours. needed one endone today, as i did hydro on monday as well. no hydro now until next wednesday.
3:11 am
sprite
amen to that, pug. From your mouth to the Big Guy's ear.
3:11 am
sprite
wow rose, you are doing so well!
3:12 am
grannyrose
did i ever tell you i was obstinate, stubborn, tenacious???
3:12 am
puglet
yes you are Rose and I hate for all that with the workcover to screw all that up for you right now
3:12 am
sprite
not in so many words, but I knew nevertheless
3:13 am
puglet
well those are words I wouldnt say out loud about you-lol
3:14 am
sprite
usually we abbreviate it and just say 'rose'
3:14 am
puglet
good one Sprite
3:14 am
grannyrose
roflol, awww spritey....* bats eyelashes* moi?
3:14 am
sprite
*giggles* Toi, ma fille, toi.
3:15 am
puglet
we need a r word--lol
3:15 am
sprite
and we wouldn't want you any other way, rose. Just, please, be careful with yourself.
3:16 am
puglet
so sprite where do you go from here on
3:16 am
grannyrose
sprite, pugs, i am taking care. i'm now listening to my body.
3:17 am
puglet
just now? lol
3:17 am
sprite
that is all we ask :) Am glad, rose. You are precious.
3:20 am
puglet
I so dont want to get the op on the hernia and Iam trying to figure a way out of it--I had that once and it was no picnic
3:20 am
sprite
I think I will do the dishes, to prevent issues tonight. A bit of laundry. And a lot of resting. And you?
3:21 am
sprite
I know, pugs, it sucks. But if it is necessary, it is necessary. You can't go on like this.
3:21 am
puglet
I got to make out a schedule for myself on eating and exercise--getting things in order so to say
3:22 am
sprite
that is awesome! and be easy on yourself when you do it, ok? An easy, relaxed schedule.
3:22 am
grannyrose
PUGS!!!! you have that surgery, young lady. besides, the drugs nowadays are vastly improved, and nurses and doctors understand a lot more about pain control.
3:23 am
puglet
I know I do but I just HATE the thought and all theses meds :(
3:23 am
gapeach
May I please have a clue for ga5-14 Thanks
3:24 am
sprite
that's ok, pugs, as long as you do it anyway. We will back you up every step of the way.
3:24 am
grannyrose
the pain meds will be short term only. just think, once the hernia is repaired, it won't hurt you again. and the post-op pain is getting better pain. it will go away.
3:24 am
grannyrose
peach, used in cooking, bouquet ga5
3:26 am
sprite
thanks rose :)
3:26 am
gapeach
Thanks much, Rose.
3:28 am
puglet
and Sprite I did tell the doc all you told me to tell her and she said one thing at a time and in a few months we are going to work on the smoking too
3:29 am
puglet
and I did get a woman doc, which Iam pleased with too
3:29 am
sprite
wow pugs! Soooo good. Am so proud of you that you got the courage to tell her everything. *hugs* Yes, a woman doc is very good for you. Necessary, even.
3:30 am
grannyrose
yay, pugs. that is splendid.
3:32 am
puglet
she wanted to put me on anti-depression meds but I asked if the sugar could cause it and she said yes so I told her I will wait and see if I can do it myself by getting that down first
3:33 am
puglet
and the stress too can cause the sugar to be as it is so I got alot to work on it seems
3:33 am
grannyrose
absolutely, pugs. with the diabetes under control, the hernia repaired, and that other problem dealt with, you will be a new woman.
3:33 am
sprite
hm ok, I can see your point. But don't wait too long. Antideps can make a big difference if you get the ones that are good for you.
3:33 am
sprite
God yes. My sugar spikes like crazy as soon as I get stressed. It is worse than eating sugar candy, I sw5.
3:37 am
puglet
Rose, do you think you are going to be able to make it to your easter service
3:38 am
puglet
sprite you got all this free time now..whatever will you do with all of it-lol
3:38 am
sprite
squirrel :D
3:38 am
grannyrose
i am thinking that while you, pugs, are adapting to the new diabetes meds, you don't need the antideps. because they too can cause dizziness etc. but, and i do mean but, if you do need them, then take them.
3:39 am
sprite
I don't know yet, pugs. I'd like to do something worthwhile again, helping other people. But it is a bit complicated to make it work with the benefit.
3:39 am
grannyrose
pfft, sprite, was typing. ;-P. yes, pugs. we have a good friday service, and we go to the easter sunday as well.
3:39 am
sprite
*giggles* Sorry rose :D
3:40 am
puglet
I will Rose but Iam going to try to let my own body handle it if it can with out aids---I think if I take care of the sugar and the stress and me I will make it
3:40 am
puglet
that will make you feel better too Rose
3:40 am
grannyrose
sprite, what happened to the training for the counselling thingy you all went to? is it out of the question, financially?
3:40 am
sprite
sounds like a great battle plan, pugs. And remember we are here for you, any time. Email me if you need me. I have your back, and so does rose.
3:41 am
puglet
thanks guys and I will Sprite
3:41 am
sprite
no rose, but the trainer said she wants me to finish my own therapy first. So am going to wrap things up this year, and try to join her course next year.
3:42 am
sprite
am gonna try and put money aside for it. Don't know the price yet. But it will be expensive and maybe that will make it impossible. We will see.
3:42 am
grannyrose
oh, good sprite. i am so glad that that option is open still.
3:43 am
sprite
even if I can't do it with that trainer, rose, I will find a place where I can... this IS going to happen, one way or the other.
3:43 am
puglet
could I help some Sprite---I could send you what Ive saved for the W7---and I mean it too
3:43 am
grannyrose
good on ya, sprite
3:44 am
sprite
no way, darling, no way. Thank you so much for offering. But you need every cent you have. Please spend it on yourself. And I mean that too.
3:45 am
puglet
well if you need it the door is always open
3:45 am
grannyrose
and so can i....in fact i would insist on it, if that was the only thing stopping you from doing it.
3:45 am
sprite
am really touched by the offer, pugs. *hugs*

Sprite-that will be a life long thing for you and to help would mean alot
3:46 am
sprite
thanks rose, that is awesome. I will keep it in mind. But if I can manage to ea4 some with counselling, I think I will be able to manage. *hugs*
3:46 am
puglet
and how are you and the window 7 doing Sprite
3:46 am
grannyrose
as far as i am concerned, it would be a great investment.
3:47 am
grannyrose
np's gran
3:47 am
puglet
I feel the same way Rose
3:48 am
sprite
we are becoming friends, pugs. I was able to tweak things a bit so I have my handy QuickStart bar back, and the Show Desktop button on it. Email is working the way I like, too.
3:48 am
sprite
remember I went to my old teacher, for that reunion and supervision/intervision thing?
3:49 am
puglet
is it a big change from the xp
3:49 am
puglet
yes I remember that--not been too long ago
3:49 am
sprite
so far I am thinking not so much, pugs. Things look a bit different, but once you start using it, it pretty quickly grows on ya.
3:51 am
grannyrose
if you have any issues with windows 7, sprite, email don. among other things he is computer savvy.
3:51 am
puglet
do you still have the same email that you had or did you have to change
3:51 am
sprite
well, was talking this through with my teacher and he suggested to write a letter to all my friends and relations, and ask them to invest in me. I could give out coupons, so to speak, for sessions with me. He called it crew funding.
3:51 am
sprite
no, the email address you get from your provider, that does not change.
3:51 am
puglet
thats a good ideal
3:52 am
puglet
so have you done that
3:52 am
grannyrose
sounds interesting, sprite.
3:53 am
puglet
do me and Rose get a coupon? lol
3:53 am
sprite
it scares me shitless, tbh, to write such a letter. But I think I will. I can offer people a lot of choice... they can either buy a coupon for a meditation session, dream work, counselling or reiki treatment now, or invest in a coupon for Family Constellations after I finish my training.
3:53 am
Jayk
we call that crowd funding here--what an interesting difference! and GM
3:54 am
sprite
awesome, Jayk! Maybe I heard wrong and he said crowd funding. Good morning :)
3:54 am
puglet
morning JayK
3:54 am
grannyrose
mornin' jayk
3:55 am
sprite
lol pugs, you could get a coupon for free... just have to find a way to use it!
3:55 am
puglet
well you know your father could use several--lol could you handle that?
3:55 am
grannyrose
i'll bring her over with me....
3:55 am
Jayk
Hi all. No, I bet you heard right. There are a few internet sites for that sort of thing--and they seem to work.
3:55 am
sprite
my father is a narcissist, darling. He thinks he is perfect and all those weird other people are crazy.
3:56 am
sprite
that would be so awesome, rose
3:57 am
puglet
I think you would be good for OO, You wouldnt give up on him like his docs have
3:58 am
sprite
I would never give up on someone as dedicated as o-o.
3:58 am
puglet
people like that shouldnt even be helping anyone but searching help for themselves
3:59 am
puglet
I know you wouldnt and thats why I said that
3:59 am
sprite
if only I could start working without losing the benefit completely right away. Must figure out a way.
4:00 am
sprite
so true, pugs. There are so many needy therapists in therapy land.
4:00 am
puglet
I hope you can too--got to be carefull who you ask advice from too when in that boat
4:01 am
sprite
oh, I didn't tell you guys that... that is what my psychiatrist is going to do, together with the psychiatrist who does the family constellations. They are gonna offer therapy to therapists.
4:01 am
sprite
indeed pugs... it is a scary thing. I have found out before that they often punish you for trying to get back on your feet.
4:01 am
puglet
that would be good Sprite for after all they are human too
4:02 am
puglet
they do Sprite and I think its very unfair
4:02 am
sprite
yes and they often are afraid to go to a therapist... afraid their own patients find out... etc etc.
4:03 am
sprite
the benefit office has left me in peace for a couple of years now. I am afraid to call them, lol... afraid they suddenly remember me. Much better to be forgotten.
4:03 am
puglet
sad but its true
4:04 am
grannyrose
and that may well be where you are needed most, sprite. offering counselling to therapists only. giving them support, counselling in safety.
4:04 am
puglet
Rose as a nurse do you have to attend things like that at work
4:06 am
sprite
I might end up working with them, rose. I have a feeling it might work out that way. But I still have a way to go before I can do that... I lack the papers, you know.
4:06 am
grannyrose
what do you mean, pugs?
4:07 am
puglet
dealing with illnesses and death do you have to go to classes to handle such things to ease you own mind and well being
4:08 am
puglet
I mean after a while those things can lay heavy on ones soul and mind
4:08 am
grannyrose
oh, well that is part of our training. and the company does offer free counselling service to it's employees. remember don and i went to that grief counsellor? well, that was through work.
4:09 am
puglet
oh--do you have to pay for that or is it offered free
4:10 am
grannyrose
some nurses can't handle death and dieing...they find that out very early in their career. they usually move onto something else very quickly...like horticulture.
4:11 am
sprite
roflolllll
4:11 am
puglet
I know at the nursing home, you get attached to those people and when several goes in a row and then dealing with the famlies too it can take a toll on you
4:11 am
grannyrose
it was free, pugs. like our flu vax. the company sees it has a responsibility to the emotional and physical welfare of it's employees. unfortunately, that does not extend to workcover cases.
4:12 am
sprite
it is especially hard if you don't see death as a part of life. If you can accept that death is a part of life, handling death and grieving people becomes less hard.
4:13 am
sprite
lol I found ra8. Past tensed it just for the fun of it and it took!
4:14 am
grannyrose
you know, with my faith, i found that i am not afraid of death. yes it makes me sad, but i am not scared. i recognise that my grief comes from a sense of loss.
4:14 am
puglet
what bothered me the most were the ones with no family and they just wanted someone with them as they passed..
4:14 am
grannyrose
oh, pugs, that is so sad
4:14 am
o-o
many are dead long before the grim reaper comes to get you
4:15 am
grannyrose
too true, o-o.
4:15 am
puglet
welcome back OO and so true
4:15 am
sprite
that is the same way I feel about it, rose. Yes, it does make me sad. But it is not scary or unbearable. What we lose, is the possibility to interact with our loved one. And getting used to that takes time and mourning.
4:15 am
sprite
so very true, o-o
4:16 am
sprite
that is really sad, pugs. Wonderful if you could be with them at such a time.
4:16 am
puglet
it is Rose--help severals hands as they left here--its was hard for me to take--I cant stand for someone to be alone
4:16 am
puglet
held not help
4:17 am
puglet
we were not allowed to pray there but I always asked and I did so if they wanted it
4:18 am
sprite
good job, pug. As long as they want you to, it shouldn't be forbidden.
4:19 am
puglet
thats how I felt too--some things are more important then job and money
4:19 am
grannyrose
good for you, pugs. i did have a patient who, once she was awake, wanted to say the lord's prayer. i was the only one in the room who knew the words, and could pray with her. too sad.
4:19 am
sprite
I wouldn't know the words in english either. Should look them up.
4:20 am
o-o
pug, is being alone the better option even when those with you do not respect you? I fight with everyone.
4:21 am
grannyrose
and another time, i was 'specialling' a patient who had had a kidney removed. in the wee small hours of the night, she woke up and asked for her rosary beads. when i asked if she would like me to pray for her, she said yes. months later, she came into the ward, to say thank-you.
4:21 am
puglet
let me think on that a sec-OO
4:21 am
sprite
aw that is beautiful, rose
4:22 am
grannyrose
o-o, is it you doing the fighting, or those who are with you?
4:22 am
sprite
if you fight because they don't respect you, you are right to fight, I think.
4:22 am
rubyfoo
good morning everybody
4:23 am

hi ruby :)

4:24 am
grannyrose
*giggle* ruby
4:24 am
grannyrose
oh, dear, o-o. i so wish i had an answer for you, mate.
4:26 am
sprite
me too, o-o. No simple solution there, alas. Just my heartfelt wish you'd be less alone and able to interact with someone nice and kind and respectful.
4:26 am
rubyfoo
we had a scary morning. I woke up with the worst headache I've ever had, not a migraine, but my whole head and neck. I took a double dose of paracetimol and codeine and drank coffee and it finally went away
4:26 am
puglet
first why are you fighting OO? And if your illness is causing these things then you can not help it. And those that loves you OO will do so as you are not what they want you to be. As for myself I hate, hate being alone inside and out==I dont think anyone should be alone to face whatever goes in life
4:26 am
rubyfoo
I just sat and cried. Poor Burt!
4:27 am
sprite
and poor ruby too. I sometimes have a horrible headache when I get up too, that goes away with paracetamol with caffeine and coffee.
4:27 am
o-o
that assumes that life is worthy of attention ...
4:28 am
rubyfoo
is it your whole head, sprite, or half, like a migraine
4:28 am
rubyfoo
It was worse than a hangover an I had nothing to drink yesterday
4:28 am
sprite
in some way it must be, o-o, since you are living it. Heroically, but still.
4:28 am
sprite
no, not like migraine. Temples, brow, top of the head, backside, neck.
4:28 am
Marc Freeman
I suggest mediation and coca cola
4:29 am
sprite
also a good cure, Marc, and hi :)
4:29 am
puglet
You and your life is worthy of all things good OO--if there wasent a reason for you to be here, you wouldnt. You are important to me and more than I can say as well as for you others
4:29 am
sprite
I am with pugs on that, o-o. You matter to me. A lot.
4:29 am
o-o
only because I am not in a hurry to take a ride on the river styx
4:30 am
grannyrose
dear o-o, know this. it takes more courage to go on living, when all around you falls.
4:31 am
sprite
hm, reading more closely... do you mean mediation, Marc, or do you mean meditation?
4:31 am
puglet
Thank God for that, OO---you ever think that your words that you share give meaning to us
4:31 am
grannyrose
and for that, i am eternally grateful. you witticisms and words of wisdom are so appreciated.
4:32 am
sprite
very much so. I have several of your posts copied on my hard disk, to read over when I need them.

And, I changed my icon pic again, but it's not showing. Dammit!
9:03 am
zoozzoom
I see your icon as a cat with a yellow bunny thing, Judi.
9:03 am
Judi
*pouts* *guzzles more coffee*
9:03 am
Judi
That is the correct picture, zooz. Cat vs. Peep.
9:04 am

I see it too. It really puzzles me why refresh does not work for some people regarding icons.
9:04 am
zoozzoom
Looks like cat is going to win :-)
9:05 am
Judi
Alas, Babble mocks me.
9:05 am
MollyL
By the way, you need to refresh while you are in MY ACCOUNT and when you return to chat.
9:05 am
Judi
Been there, done that, Molls.
9:06 am
zoozzoom
Where the chat comes up, Judi right click on tat bit and click on reload..that should sort it out for you.
9:08 am

Well then I can only imagine that it's a matter of browser history settings and/or a full load in cache/cookies.

lilliann
Sorry, Peri, hubby was on phone and the bairn has fallen asleep on the sofa.Aye, the train went well thanks.Someone was sitting in the bairn's seat so she had to sit opposite me, where she was practically ontop of me as the seats opposite the wheelchair space are kept empty because of no leg space with a wheelchair.we could have told her to move but the train was that full that there were people stood up inbetween the carriages...saying that there was a reserved ticket in my name behind her head, so how she missed it!
4:45 pm

On demand is included in your cable service. Other than some movies you need to pay for. TV shows stay on for a few weeks and then slowly drop off. I live with On Demand. If I forget to record then I just watch it from the on demand TV show postings.

It amazes me at how many people used to wear hats in days gone by...as now most people only wear hats in winter.
5:29 pm

Lilliann. I have been very good and made three cards before I came to babble
5:29 pm

OOh, are you feeling ok Jaxx!! :D
5:29 pm

my father in law told me all about that in the years before he passed. I had no idea of the serious consideration and yes, money that went into the descision of buying a hat
5:30 pm
crosshair
in the 40s*
5:30 pm
lilliann
I made one the other night, or i should say nearly one...it was a pop up box card
5:30 pm
jaxx7
They still tipped their hats to ladies then, crossy
5:31 pm
lilliann
I loved seeing the ladies in the 30/40's wearing hats.I look awful in a hat
5:31 pm
crosshair
they did indeed, spring hats, summer hats, straw hats, winter hats. Three well made custom hats for the gentleman was considered the minimum.
5:31 pm
zoozzoom
Yes very true...the different styles too..like a bowler type hat for bankers..top hats for the wealthy.
5:31 pm
jaxx7
I wear specs and it is so hard to find a hat that suits
5:31 pm
lilliann
The hats then were very elegant, not like now with men wearing tea cosies and women wearing animal hats with plaits
5:32 pm
crosshair
and the ladies with the big hats, the tiny hats of the 40,s and lots, and lots of hat pins to keep that rakish angle just so
5:32 pm
zoozzoom
Tea cosies..LOL
5:32 pm

All the knitting mags seem to concentrate on knitting those and little else
5:33 pm

my mil had a wide variety of hat pins still in her jewellery box. thay are quite decorative and interesting

They are still collected, crossy and might be worth something
5:33 pm
lilliann
I know jaxx, and they are awful!
5:34 pm

Yes i think the hat pins were beautifully made...And Lilliann you are right the ladies in those days looked so elegant.
5:34 pm
lilliann
Us card crafters use hat pins now
5:34 pm

Quick to knit and warm, though
5:35 pm

Although i am sure it was a nightmare to wear half the clothes they used to wear....very heavy and tight fitting in some cases.

the da6 is more of a derogatory term for spaniards really

Probably depends on what kind of neighborhood you grew up in.

Beyond the Latin plural--to the past tense
5:55 pm

to6 past tense of Roman garb

Every time she went down South she got them or when my nieces came up here they would pass them on, but that was because of one of my niece's friend's alway had them and my ex S.i.l never did anything much about it but tell them to put a nit comb through their hair and they didn't know what they were doing as they were kids but she never used the proper nit shampoo
6:19 pm

I will check and i've been scratching all night and i hugged them all....

my son caught them twice from the public school when he was small. It was a nightmare.

but better than with the young girls. I just shaved my kid right down to a buzz cut that would make a military man proud
6:21 pm
crosshair
then all the shampoos, the nit combs and bagging and washing everything he owned
6:21 pm
Bugsaw
now they just have you wash the hair and then put lots of conditioner on. Don't rinse it off for an hour or two. It smothers the live ones without a lot of cost and the you can use the comb to get the nits out.
6:27 pm
MollyL
It's not the hair treatment. It's the absolute fumigation you have to do to your home to keep them from re-infesting.
6:33 pm

Bye all and tc as i now have to go and treat nits!!!! Thank god i have some stuff in...but isn't it great that i'm getting shouted at because of them....It's all my fault apparently as i'm the one that always treats her!!I'm so glad she is Back.....am of and scratching head:D bye and tc all

Now it is time for crossy's amazing tidbit of the day!! Google has applied for a patent for a contact lens with a built in camera. The camera itself does not process the picture, but instead will send it to Googel glass or your I-phone. This will be invaluable for blind people as it will take snapshots of anything around you such as traffic, crosswalks, obstructions, people around you as well as street signs and building address numbers and give the vision disabled real time info to assist in navigating the area around them!
7:16 pm
Lizlin
That's really interesting. I love your tidbits of the day.
