3:50 am

rubyfoo

I used to be 5'1" but not any more :(

3:54 am

grannyrose

how lovely ruby....that would have made your day!!

3:55 am

rubyfoo

They even made a marzipan and chocolate "card" and lit it with a sort of little Roman candle/sparkler thingie

3:55 am

rubyfoo

It was really nice and I heard from almost everybody, ESPECIALLY my son

3:57 am

rubyfoo

I guess, though, except for the decade ones, birthdays shouldn't be so important any more, but I am spoiled

3:57 am

rubyfoo

I like the words in the grid with the yl ending

3:58 am

grannyrose

as it should be, dearest.

3:59 am

rubyfoo

how did McL get 40 so fast? I only have 32....not very swift today

4:02 am

rubyfoo

almost half but too many c's

4:06 am

grannyrose

ruby, there are three cy words.

4:07 am

rubyfoo

just found them and have 37 now

4:07 am

grannyrose

it's don's 60th this year. BIG party on the 10th may.

4:08 am

grannyrose

nice, ruby, well done, hun.

4:08 am

rubyfoo

my big ones were 30 (remember, "Never trust anybody over 30"? lol and 50, 2 1/2 yrs after my cancer. That was the biggest deal because I knew I had survived

4:09 am

grannyrose

i am cooking a cod casserole for dinner tonight as it is good friday. and you are into day 3 passover? or day 4?

4:11 am

rubyfoo

we don't celebrate because 1)husband is a non-believes and 2) we have no famiy here and 3) although my relatives were observant, my family wasn't

4:11 am

rubyfoo

My last big family seder was a Good Friday and my 19th birthday, just before I got married

4:13 am

rubyfoo

must go and see to old Burt. See you tomorrow, sweetie

4:14 am

grannyrose

i am so sorry, ruby. that you are unable to celebrate as your heart dictates. burt needs to get a life...your religion is a part of you.

4:16 am

*hugs rose* Hello my darling, how are you today?

4:16 am

grannyrose

4:17 am

sprite

4:17 am

sprite

smallish grid, I see

4:17 am

grannyrose

sprite, had an episode of pain in church. fortunately i had one tablet of strong pain relief in my handbag. i was so nauseated, and shaking like a leaf.

4:18 am

sprite

were you standing again?

4:20 am

sprite

guess that was the timer, lol

4:35 am

grannyrose

back briefly...yes it was the timer..lol...can i please put it out there? ...I HATE INDUCTION COOKERS!!! the milk i was poaching the fish in has caught on the bottom...*sigh*

4:36 am

sprite

oh god, me too. Give me cooking on gas anyday.

4:36 am

grannyrose

we/i now have to scrub the pan clean, before i/we can make the sauce for the casserole.

4:36 am

sprite

that so sucks

4:37 am

grannyrose

*giggle* the new kitchen is going to be all gas...oven, grill and cook-top.

4:37 am

sprite

so, revenons a nos moutons... were you standing again in church???

4:41 am

sprite

don't you dare squirrel on me now...

4:41 am

puglet

Howdy friends

4:41 am

sprite

*sigh* Saucepan, I guess...

4:44 am

sprite

pugs! *hugs* Sorry, overlooked your post for a sec.

4:44 am

puglet

did I miss everyone :(

4:44 am

sprite

no darling, I am here and I am pretty sure rose will come back.

4:45 am

puglet

NOW MY Day is started off on a grand note

4:45 am

sprite

how are you today? You don't 'sound' too great.

4:45 am

puglet

Iam just sick to my stomach--but other then that Iam okay

4:46 am

puglet

How are you? Such great news about your day yesterday

4:46 am

sprite

poor pugs :( Sorry to hear that.

4:46 am

puglet

I still think its the meds

4:47 am

puglet

My sister will be here for easter--shes flying in for a week

4:48 am

sprite

could very well be, pugs. Sometimes it takes some time to get used to meds. And when it does't pass, they will have to find a similar med that hasn't those side effects

4:48 am

sprite

oh that is marvellous! Can she help you get the reader going too?

4:49 am

puglet

I swear I feel like I got morning sickness--I cant stand the site or smell of food--but that isnt possibe so that out, thank god-lol

4:49 am

puglet

yes she will :)

4:49 am

sprite

lolollll thank God indeed

4:50 am

puglet

LOL

4:50 am

sprite

awesome. Make sure she shows you how, lol. Am so looking forward to keeping you in books for the rest of your life :)

4:51 am

puglet

You already gave me a list to last a year--lol----Iam hoping I can take it with me to the hospital if I have to have this hernia repaired

4:52 am

puglet

do you know if I can babble on it

4:52 am

sprite

you will love both series, lol. Yes, would be ideal in the hospital. Bring the charger cord!

4:52 am

puglet

okay, will do

4:52 am

sprite

no, I don't know. Does it have internet options?

4:53 am

puglet

Iam thinking it does cause it says I can put my email on it--so is that a yes

4:53 am

sprite

yes, then you can babble on it too :)

4:54 am

sprite

you probably will have to connect through the hospital's wifi. Might be smart to ask about that beforehand, so that you know the codes etc.

4:54 am

puglet

great---now if the hospital is equip to let me use it

4:55 am

sprite

probably... I think nowadays it is pretty much everywhere.

4:55 am

puglet

okay I will

4:55 am

grannyrose

*giggle* sprite...and {{hugs again}} miz sprite. the sous=chef is hopeless...but the casserole is in the oven...no buns...

4:55 am

sprite

lol rose

4:55 am

puglet

Hi Rose---how was your dinner with the son and wife

4:55 am

grannyrose

aagghh...where is my head???? hugs again, miz pugs

4:56 am

sprite

so... revenons a nos moutons again... WERE you standing in church again???????

4:56 am

grannyrose

tomorrow dearest, pugs.

4:56 am

puglet

oh Iam behind --sorry

4:57 am

grannyrose

lolol, only for a short period. when i felt the nausea building, i sat down...recognised what was happening.

4:57 am

sprite

ok rose, that is progress. But what will it take for you to LISTEN to me and sit down from the start, until you are a lot better? Hm?

4:57 am

puglet

did you en;joy the service other then that

4:58 am

grannyrose

after the service, i took a quick release pain killer...within 15 minutes felt good again.

4:58 am

puglet

I say have Don chain her to a wheelchair-lol

4:59 am

sprite

rose, I will say this again... you go SIT DOWN from the start. God wants you to connect with Him and pay attention to what goes on in church, and not have you focussed on your pain and nausea. Standing at this point is stupid.

5:00 am

grannyrose

roflol, pugs...and sprite, i HAVE to try, sweetie. but at least i now understand what is happening. our priest/vicar continues to pray for me.

5:05 am

puglet

will you knee not let you bend them to sit?

5:05 am

sprite

yes, you have to try. Try again in a month. Jeezz woman, what is a month on your whole life? Sit down already!

5:05 am

puglet

will you knee not let you bend them to sit?

5:06 am

puglet

darn reset

5:07 am

sprite

a long one today

5:07 am

puglet

yes it was

5:08 am

puglet

did we lose Rose

5:08 am

sprite

rose is hiding from my wrath, I think

5:09 am

puglet

I was thinking the same thing--lol

5:09 am

grannyrose

yes, you did. my last chog has disappeared...and it was sooo witty, and clever....not

5:09 am

puglet

maybe we or you need to talk to Don

5:09 am

grannyrose

and dinner is finally ready...i am positively drooling here

5:09 am

sprite

I think so too. Ask Don to do what you suggested, pugs. Tie her to a wheelchair for church.

5:10 am

puglet

do enjoy then-lol

5:10 am

sprite

Enjoy your dinner, rose. And next time for church, imagine me standing behind you.

5:10 am

grannyrose

bbs, my darlings. hope you grid is successful.

5:11 am

grannyrose

*shudders* nope not going there, sprite

5:11 am

puglet

maybe sitting in her lap Sprite will keep her down-lol

5:11 am

sprite

evil, rose. Evil. :)

5:11 am

puglet

LOL

5:12 am

sprite

lol did you guys see that my daughter and I are both in the grid?

5:12 am

puglet

not until you just said and right together too

5:13 am

sprite

yes :D

5:13 am

puglet

did you get alot of easter goodies yesterday

5:14 am

sprite

yes, a big thing for each of my kids, a load of small eggs for in a bowl on the table and a load of bigger hollow ones for the egg hunt.

5:14 am

puglet

thats kind of cool that your daughter's friend wants to come---we use to have a adult hunt at one time too

5:15 am

puglet

you are not going to color any real ones

5:15 am

sprite

I love it. Makes me feel so good about how we went about this all those years.

5:15 am

sprite

no, I never do, pugs. Might do some with shrink foil though.

5:16 am

puglet

stuff your kids will probbally carry on in their own families when that time comes

5:16 am

sprite

oh yes, indeed they might. Oh that would make me so happy :)

5:18 am

puglet

it makes me sad that OO has to spend holidays alone and other people in that same boat

5:19 am

sprite

bless your heart, pugs. You are such a beautiful person. Yes, it is saddening, I agree. Let's think of them often and hold them in our prayers.

5:19 am

puglet

do you stay up late to hide them or how do you with them all there

5:19 am

sprite

fireflies

5:20 am

puglet

I do pray for him all the time, I just wish I could do more

5:21 am

sprite

I get up very early. Kind of tradition too. I hide the eggs while Rob makes breakfast, then we call down the kids, eat breakfast and then do the hunt.

5:21 am

puglet

You cant leave yet, Rose isnt back to say bye-lol and I hate to see you leave too :(

5:21 am

puglet

thats so neat Sprite

5:21 am

sprite

you do more than enough, darling. You know yourself how much difference it makes when someone thinks of you with good intentions.

5:22 am

sprite

aww sweetie, I will hang on a bit longer then :)

5:22 am

puglet

if you got things to do I understand but I do enjoy your company

5:24 am

sprite

and I enjoy yours. Nah, I don't have a lot of stuff to do. No laundry even, lol, I have a basket with one pair of trousers and a pair of socks. My daughter just claimed the washing machine... I bet she has collected a load of her own laundry in stead of throwing it in the basket. Again :)

5:25 am

puglet

so what are you going to do today then

5:26 am

puglet

My friend carol has been put on oxigen and if her lungs are no better in a couple of weeks they are sending her to a lung doctor, so Iam a bit worried about her too

5:26 am

sprite

good question. Game a lot, maybe, lol. Walk Terra this afternoon. See if I can help Rob with anything. Take a shower and wash my hair. Prepare the cryptic rhymes for Easter Monday.

5:26 am

sprite

oh pug, that is worrisome. Poor Carol.

5:26 am

puglet

oh a good day to spend on yourself

5:27 am

puglet

you will have time to even paint your nails like easter eggs-lol

5:27 am

sprite

lololllll Did you see the nails in my last puzzle? Those little chicklets nails? So cute.

5:28 am

puglet

I did--you going to try that

5:28 am

sprite

no, not at the moment. My nails broke off and they are too short now.

5:29 am

puglet

it might be easier to paint false ones and then put those on for work like that

5:30 am

puglet

are you sure they broke and not that you chewed them off like Rose-lol

5:30 am

sprite

I think so too. That is an idea... might do stick-ons. A good way to spend time on myself. Thanks for the idea!

5:30 am

sprite

I don't chew nails at all.

5:30 am

puglet

oh good! I wonder if Rose has nails now-lol

5:31 am

sprite

my friend Cobi is coming to stay next week. I have a lovely nail polish for her too, as a present.

5:31 am

puglet

I dont have the teeth to chew mine(which I never did chew either)

5:31 am

puglet

oh that will be really nice for you

5:31 am

sprite

I didn't know that, pugs. Don't you have teeth at all?

5:32 am

puglet

all my bottoms but just one back one on top

5:32 am

sprite

wow that must be hard with eating.

5:33 am

puglet

they didnt rot, just got loose and I pulled them----it is very

5:33 am

sprite

sounds like you need fake teeth.

5:33 am

puglet

one day I might be able to get some wooden ones-lol

5:35 am

puglet

I told you my whole body is falling apart--lol

5:35 am

sprite

*hugs pugs* Your body just shows how stressful things have been for you, darling.

5:37 am

puglet

Rose must of been starved-lol

5:37 am

puglet

and hugs back and lots of em too

5:37 am

sprite

lololllll stuffing her face

5:38 am

sprite

oh I have an idea... am gonna ask my neighbours if I can hide the egss in their garden as well! That would make for a lot of new hiding places. I bet they say go right ahead... and if your kids leave some, they are ours :)

5:38 am

puglet

I still cant see her returning to work at the end of the month--I think its to soon and too much for her right now

5:39 am

puglet

great ideal!

5:39 am

grannyrose

so true...my friends...this casserole is to die for....and i very well may do so. this year i did double the sauce...it worked beautifully. i am soooo full.

5:40 am

puglet

welcome back Rose

5:40 am

sprite

yeah well, you know rose... not sure if you have a saying like this in english, but a dutch one goes like this: what she has in her head, she doesn't have in her ass.

5:40 am

Enomis65

5:40 am

grannyrose

mornin' enom

5:41 am

puglet

5:42 am

puglet

Rose, Sprite and I were talking about nails--do you still have yours chewed off

5:43 am

grannyrose

nope, darling...the stress levels are waaay down.

5:44 am

puglet

5:44 am

sprite

grannyrose

5:44 am

puglet

5:45 am

puglet

5:47 am

sprite

btw, pugs, I have a favor to ask of you.

5:47 am

puglet

go ahead

5:48 am

sprite

my girl has found a perfect birthday gift for a friend of hers on amazon.com, but now I try to order and they say they don't ship this item to europe. Could I have it sent to you instead and ask you to send it to me? I will pay for all costs.

5:48 am

puglet

sure you can

5:49 am

sprite

it is a mug, earthenware, so I don't think there is any shipping problem.

5:49 am

puglet

just tell me what to do or whatever

5:50 am

sprite

will do, and thank you so much, also from my daughter :)

5:51 am

puglet

you are very welcome

5:51 am

puglet

dont forget it takes about a month for it to get to you from me it seems

5:53 am

sprite

yes, I told my girl that already, and she says that is ok. Just placed the order and payed for it. They will deliver it to you. Once you got it, we will figure out how to best get it to me and how I can pay you for the shipping and all, ok?

5:54 am

puglet

okay--amazon is pretty quick

5:54 am

puglet

Ive order from them before and it only takes about two days

5:58 am

puglet

well Ladies, I need to go eat a bite--already off an hour in doing so --though I hate the ideal I know I must---so I wish you all a blessed day and evening--hugs and love :)

5:58 am

sprite

this is the mug:

Scrabbler

Good day, kids.

7:13 am

72 Temple Owl

morning, scrabs. how are things with you?

7:13 am

Scrabbler

I am doing well. How about you?

7:15 am

crosshair

howdy, scrabby:)

7:15 am

Scrabbler

Hi Crossy. How much snow is still around? The last piles in my front yard should melt away today.

7:16 am

72 Temple Owl

i am well.

7:16 am

crosshair

we still havesome snow on the hill, but the rest of it(other than what is in the shade under trees is gone

7:17 am

crosshair

that 15cm we received a few days ago is long gone

7:17 am

Scrabbler

The hills of the ski resort across the valley still have tons of snow. It is always fascinating to see how late into spring that it lasts.

7:17 am

crosshair

that is ok. we are more than ready for canoeing and hiking

7:18 am

crosshair

they will ski/snowboard untul they are churning up mud

7:18 am

Scrabbler

Yes!

7:19 am

crosshair

I alrady have my walking stick and day pack organized to go at a moments notice:)

7:19 am

crosshair

already

7:20 am

crosshair

just add water bottle and eats for the day and I am all set

7:23 am

Scrabbler

I have 3 packs--small, medium, and large, depending on the hike. What I must do is organize my gear into pouches for easy transfer.

7:23 am

crosshair

yes, those small stow bags are handy for that

7:24 am

crosshair

that way you know if you are grabbing food,gear or meds

7:24 am

Scrabbler

And some hikes do not require ALL of the survival gear.

7:24 am

crosshair

no, on day trips, I leave much of it behind

7:25 am

Scrabbler

And it depends if I can maintain a cell phone signal. In one park several miles from here we lose our signal deep in the woods.

7:25 am

crosshair

but always med kit, firesteel, lifestaw, fox 40 whistle, and 8x8/ 4 mil poly tarp

7:26 am

Scrabbler

Yes. And snacks.

7:26 am

crosshair

we get no signal on many parts of Blue Mountain. Must do it old fashioned way

7:27 am

crosshair

silva compass and good topographical map:)

7:27 am

crosshair

though the bruce trail makes things much easier

7:27 am

crosshair

lots of crossy snacks;)

7:28 am

crosshair

I make my own gorp anyways

7:28 am

Scrabbler

I want to make my own energy bars--oats, nuts, etc.

7:29 am

Scrabbler

Have you ever done that?

7:29 am

crosshair

raisins,dried apples, peanuts,sunflower sees, M&M's etc

7:29 am

crosshair

no, I have not made my own bars

7:31 am

crosshair

i try to keep it simple

7:31 am

Scrabbler

Maybe just tossing my faves in a bag or container is easier, like you do.

7:31 am

crosshair

some quality beef jerky to feed my inner carnivore

7:31 am

crosshair

yup just a couple thick zip lock baggies and yer good to go

7:33 am

Scrabbler

Great idea, Crossy. Easier than using coconut oil or honey to make a bar.

7:34 am

crosshair

bars are fine, but when i am hiking i found i am burning tween 5000 and 6000 cals on a full day, so i do not give a darn about portion sizes:)

7:34 am

crosshair

now Talc and moleskin is of utmost importance to crossy.

7:35 am

Scrabbler

I want simplicity--a bar is easier to eat but throwing ingredients into a bag is easier.

7:35 am

crosshair

yup, bag it and tag it

7:35 am

Scrabbler

I use a special tape--Nexcare--foam, stretchy--I love it!

7:36 am

crosshair

i mix it up, dried banana slices maybe, or dried cranberries

7:36 am

crosshair

but ALWAYS M&M's

7:36 am

crosshair

they take a beating

7:36 am

Scrabbler

Dark chocolate!

7:36 am

crosshair

and you cannot beat sunflower seeds

7:37 am

crosshair

mm, yes, get those flavanoids

7:37 am

crosshair

green tea..

7:37 am

crosshair

i always bring some tea as well, since i do not do coffee

7:39 am

crosshair

what i do want is one of those biolite camp stoves

7:39 am

crosshair

for weekend trips

7:39 am

Scrabbler

I have looked at those too.

7:40 am

crosshair

they weigh next to nothing, pack small and generate power for devices

7:41 am

crosshair

better than making a big firepit, especially when many areas do not allow that. biolite uses twigs already laying on the ground and leaves not environmental footprint, or next to none

7:41 am

Scrabbler

Or the solar chargers.

7:43 am

crosshair

with that unit, i can have a hot tea in under 5 minutes;)

7:43 am

Scrabbler

And I just finished the grid. I had not intended to do that at all. The Resources tab on Babble Expert simplifies the word search.

7:44 am

crosshair

i cannot remember the last time i used expert. i should break it out once in a while

7:45 am

crosshair

there we go. it looks odd to me after all this time:)

7:46 am

Scrabbler

I had not used Babble Expert for 2-3 yrs then resumed a few months ago.

7:47 am

crosshair

good thing is not posting my mistake when using this

7:49 am

crosshair

lol, now i want to go hiking!. I know i must give it one or 2 more weeks, however. still lots of snow in the bush

7:51 am

MollyL

Another plus for Biolite is thatthe proceeds from it's Camp Stoves to fund a non-profit project that builds and donates fuel efficient and clean homestoves based off of the Biolite technology to developing countries like Uganda, India, and Ghana.

7:51 am

MollyL

*they donate

7:51 am

crosshair

indeed

7:52 am

Scrabbler

We hiked 1 wk ago and walked on much snow and ice. I used trekking poles and, of course, a helmet! I do not want another head injury.

7:52 am

crosshair

as does Lifestraw, they donate one to one with developing countries

7:52 am

Scrabbler

That is good stewarship by Biolite.

7:53 am

crosshair

you see pictures of the kids carrying one in their school packs. it is so easy now to have clean bug free water

7:54 am

Scrabbler

I bought a Sawyer filter and bags last summer but will add a Lifestraw to my bag soon. I ran out of water on a 9 mi hike last summer.

7:55 am

crosshair

the lifestraw is good for 1000 litres:)

7:55 am

crosshair

and auto stops when done

7:56 am

crosshair

20 dollars per unit. good investment

7:56 am

crosshair

i drink a lot more water than my Mrs. so i am always looking to suppliment what i carry in with me

7:58 am

crosshair

i carry a half lite on my hip in hard containerand a litre in my day pack in collapsable bag.

8:00 am

Scrabbler

We hiked in 90+ temps, high humidity, and I ran out of water last summer. A learning experience about preparation.

8:01 am

crosshair

yes, you can be prepared in all other things, but you run into water issues and you are done

8:01 am

crosshair

better to run short of food than water

8:02 am

Scrabbler

We stopped at the Sacandaga River for lunch so a water filter would have been so useful. A swim cooled me off. That was wonderful.

8:02 am

crosshair

yup.a lifestraw and you would be using that river as the worlds largest sippy cup;)

8:03 am

Scrabbler

And the Sawyer filter allows me to refill my water bladder. So I learned a lesson.

8:04 am

crosshair

just make sure your hard water container has a mouth opening greater than 1 inch

8:04 am

crosshair

then i just drop my straw right into the container, because i drink while on the move. make life easier

8:05 am

Scrabbler

Oh, that works too!

8:06 am

crosshair

yuppers!. The litire and a half i bring in when it is high summer is often gone by days ends

8:07 am

crosshair

and since i do not want to hump in ten litres of water for a weekend hike, i take the lazy way out:)

8:08 am

Scrabbler

Thanks for the advice, Crossy.

8:09 am

crosshair

crossy loves his water. My mrs seems to get her water by photsynthisis! lol. I would perish on her water intake

8:10 am

Scrabbler

A friend of mine and my sister both drink far less than I do, but I am moving an oversized body.

8:10 am

crosshair

lol, as am i

8:11 am

crosshair

at home? 2 litres a day, easy.

8:11 am

crosshair

i keep my Brita personal water filter bottle on hand at all times

8:12 am

MimiCat

Does anyone know how Soodle is doing now? And good morning, everyone!

8:12 am

crosshair

((mimi))

8:13 am

MimiCat

Gnarly little grid today.

8:13 am

crosshair

I have not heard specifics, Mimi. But she is working her way through some issues. Our soodles is a tough gal and i am sure she will triumph

8:13 am

crosshair

i told her that she owes me a pub crawl and best be ready for it when i get there

8:14 am

MimiCat

Many of us sent her emails in support...she said they really helped. This is an amazing community of compassionate and supportive people.

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Hi Mimi

8:16 am

MimiCat

Hi, Scrab! Good to see you.

8:16 am

Anniebrook

I sent Soodle an email wishing her the best not knowing what has happened to her.

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Good morning, Annie.

8:17 am

Anniebrook

Morning, Scrabbs

8:17 am

MimiCat

I was having a tough time with the dictation my dr. was doing the other day and was complaining out loud (to myself) until I reminded myself that even with her mouth full of marbles and underwater she's better than the alien chipmunk doc...return to a place of gratitude...

8:17 am

MimiCat

Annie!

8:20 am

Scrabbler

Bye, Mimi

8:22 am

Scrabbler

I must get on with my day--lots of yard work such as raking.

8:24 am

crosshair

lol, out snow is JUST going now. Much too wet yet to rake anything

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Parts of the yard are swampy. There are so many branches and twigs to rake away into the woods.

8:28 am

periwinkle

hi all, help with bottom c pls

8:30 am

MimiCat

Back for a minute...hi, peri! Could I get some input on something I'm considering, please? I'd like to move into a little house in the country and in the mountains but am a bit nervous about doing so since I'm a woman living alone. Opinions?

8:31 am

MimiCat

Peri...I'm seeing lots of deals for staying at Niagara...will keep you posted. Sorry it's going to be later than I thought but my court date isn't until the end of June.

8:32 am

Scrabbler

Hi Peri and Hego

8:35 am

hego

Hi Scrabs

8:35 am

hego

weird grid

8:37 am

Scrabbler

Mimi, I live in a house in the woods at 1400 ft above sea level, so not a real mountain, but in a development with 180 homes. Each home is surrounded by trees on circular lots and common property = trees. I live alone but have neighbors. find a place like this.

8:37 am

crosshair

if you are way into the mountains and you think that emergenty treatment or contacting emergency pesonel may be an issue, mimi, get yourself a gps beacon. The are self contained power wise and good for 5 years.

8:37 am

MimiCat

Indeed, hego...no fun at all.

8:37 am

crosshair

also a single-side band radio is a good idea

8:37 am

periwinkle

where are you seeing the deals, Mimi. I need to look too

8:38 am

Scrabbler

Peri--cy5/20 = cy + US Naval ***et

8:38 am

I would love to live at or near a beach but I am not able to afford a house and rent would have to be pretty lowl

8:38 am

hego

ty Scrabs!

8:38 am

MimiCat

Seeing things on Deal Chicken and some of the travel sites, peri. If I find a good one, I can get it for both of us if you like and we can "settle up" later.

8:38 am

yes Mimi but can you let me know first. my e-mail is in my profile. I can also put my phone number in there briefly so you can call me. do you want me to do that?

8:40 am

Scrabbler

ce4/6 = plural for portion of large bowel

8:40 am

MimiCat

I wanted to live way out in the woods, Scrab, but I've started to think you're right and perhaps I need to consider having some neighbors around. Would need to get a German shepherd again, though, for protection.

8:40 am

periwinkle

have you checked kayak.com. what is the time frame for the trip?

8:40 am

periwinkle

and how long did you plan to stay in Niagra Falls area

8:41 am

crosshair

but when i think mountain living, i am thinking 1 hour drive just to find a paved road and another hour just to get a loaf of bread;)

8:41 am

MimiCat

Peri, send me all your info to my email, please. Yes, I would certainly consult you first.

8:41 am

periwinkle

ty crossy

8:41 am

MimiCat

Currently, I'm thinking August or September, peri...not sure when the money will come to me after court.

8:41 am

periwinkle

8:41 am

Scrabbler

I live an hour southeast of Niagara Falls!

8:42 am

hego

Nice area Scrabs.

8:42 am

periwinkle

oh, I would love to meet you Scrabs.

8:42 am

MimiCat

Scrab! You'll have to join us! Crossy will be there, too, and planning to follow him home for a couple of days.

8:42 am

crosshair

i live 2 hours north of niagra:)

8:43 am

MimiCat

I was only planning to be in Niagara a couple of days, peri and then on to crossy's for a couple of days.

8:43 am

hego

when are you doing this?

8:43 am

periwinkle

Mimicat, I am leaving now, going to e-mail you my info.

8:45 am

MimiCat

Hego, sometime in August or September...don't know exactly when yet.

8:45 am

crosshair

i say my location with pride;)). Actually, of late, it has begun to feel like i am still too far south;)

8:45 am

MimiCat

No need to pity ruru...he lives in the area I'd LOVE to live in myself...miss California every day of my life.

8:45 am

hego

I may take a trip in August, but have not decided where.

8:46 am

rururocks

Yeah hego..but it ain't as nice as. Jersey

8:46 am

mrs and i have been looking at locations in the Muskokas (5 hours north of the falls)

8:46 am

Oh, stop.

8:46 am

You know I'd love to move there.

8:46 am

MimiCat

I still have to get my passport...sad...needing a passport for Canada.

8:47 am

8:47 am

I will be kayaking and hiking in the Adirondack Mtns from Aug 12-19.

8:47 am

8:47 am

Have they tried dristan hego?

8:47 am

MimiCat

I would like to get out of the August heat here for a few days.

8:48 am

hego

lol might work.

8:48 am

crosshair

mmm, i can see my typing skillz are going to be an issue today:)

8:48 am

Scrabbler

Yes, you need a passport or an enhanced driver's license to get into Canada.

8:48 am

Scrabbler

Silly, Ruru.

8:48 am

hego

Crossy's monkeys have gone wild.

8:49 am

MimiCat

Had not heard of an enhanced driver's license...will look into that since I need a copy of my birth certificate from Ohio for the passport.

8:49 am

hego

You can get into Ca, but you can't get back.

8:49 am

crosshair

hard to believe i got a 98% on my last English paper by what I type in here.. lol

8:50 am

Scrabbler

Here in NY state we can get an enhanced driver's license for easy travel to and from Canada without using a passport.

8:50 am

Scrabbler

Crossy, you just hit the enter button here before you have edited your words.

8:50 am

crosshair

i am looking into it scrabby, because i can take the greyhound on the cheap to visit my brother in vegas;)

8:51 am

Get a passport Mimi, it's always good to have these days.

8:51 am

hego

And not difficult either.

Good morning!

9:23 am

bichon

hi car, how'd the puppy sleep last night?

9:23 am

car.eeyore

barked and whined for about 45 mins and then settled.

9:24 am

bichon

Yes, we fostered two bichons [not puppies]. That was the pattern.

9:24 am

bichon

My dogs whine a lot, but they were strays

9:24 am

car.eeyore

It is tough. not a good way for humans to settle down for the night.

9:25 am

bichon

We have earplugs

9:25 am

bichon

I have tuned out the whining

9:26 am

car.eeyore

God bless you. I am not good at tuning things out at all. And, of course, my husband gets up so early so that is his time to go to sleep too.

9:27 am

bichon

Mine have terrible fears from a former life. Whining is the least of them

9:27 am

car.eeyore

poor babies.

9:28 am

car.eeyore

I hate that for them. :(

9:29 am

bichon

You have to make do with what you have. There are mostly pluses though

9:30 am

car.eeyore

But Archer is still young enough that we can help him break this habit, so I am hoping that we can.

9:30 am

Babs1

soft music or tickng clocks help? or recording of heartbeat?

9:30 am

car.eeyore

He is a wonderful dog and we want him to be the best that he can be!

9:30 am

car.eeyore

Hi Babs1!

9:30 am

car.eeyore

His issue is that he wants to be with us...all the time.

9:31 am

Babs1

ahh..don't blame him!

9:31 am

bichon

Housebreaking is easy. Just keep him in a confined space and use rewards for eliminating outside.

9:31 am

car.eeyore

so, even when we put his crate in our room the other night, he whined and howled because he couldn't be on the bed with us. disaster!

9:31 am

Babs1

never did get good at crating any of mine

9:31 am

bichon

That's something that has to be broken. Make his time away from you pleasant. A toy, a chew

9:31 am

car.eeyore

He was doing great with that, bichon, but then backtracked, so I am just starting all over again.

9:31 am

I've seen some stories about having on a leash by your bed

9:32 am

bichon

We love having them sleep with us, but they are small.

9:32 am

car.eeyore

My Dad and stepmom did that, but, again, he will just whine.

9:33 am

Babs1

my little one snoring on my bed right now...6# yorkie, lhasa, poodle...

9:33 am

car.eeyore

I won't mind having him sleep with us at all, no matter how big he gets, but he has to be potty trained~!

9:34 am

bichon

Have you tried having him on a leash tied to your belt. That way they cannot squat to eliminate

9:35 am

car.eeyore

He is in his play pen right now and he likes it in there. It has been great!

9:36 am

car.eeyore

Stats please for the 4th column L?

9:36 am

bichon

Dogs won't eliminate in a crate [unless there's something wrong with him]. That way you can take him out at regular intervals

9:37 am

MollyL

Doesn't having a dog in your bed eliminate a *cough* certain part of your relationship with your husband?

9:37 am

car.eeyore

the kids 10' away from our bedroom eliminated that a long time ago!

9:38 am

car.eeyore

We only have relations when no one is home!

9:38 am

2:17 pm

Trifioso

I am reminded of my favorite line from the Full Monty - anti wrinkle cream there may be, but anti fat bastard cream there is naught

2:17 pm

MollyL

Not fannystick. That is something else entirely that we cannot speak of.

2:18 pm

Trifioso

crackstick?

MollyL

And for your extra dollars, anti-fat arrogant bastard cream.

2:19 pm

Trifioso

Good Afternoon, Everyone. How are you all today?

2:23 pm

Trifioso

unfortunately, wicked lazy nef

2:25 pm

Nef

LOL! I feel like that too, Trifi, but I started a "project" and have to finish before tonight (having family for Easter and need to do all that prep too.

2:25 pm

Trifioso

ah. yes. I had such great plans for today....

2:26 pm

Babs1

clue for bottom c?

2:26 pm

Nef

That's the problem with my "project"! I didn't plan to do it!

2:26 pm

Trifioso

if other babblers could see the absolute nonsense I enter into the grid, in the hopes of finding words, I would be exiled.

2:26 pm

MollyL

No Trif, I think arrogant people are so in love with themselves that they have no clue.

2:27 pm

Trifioso

i do wonder, molly. sometimes I think they MUST know they are acting in a way that is not the social norm

2:28 pm

Nef

Well, at least you put them in the right box; I've managed to embarrass myself by putting gibberish in the chog, up to 8-10 entries before I found out I was in the wrong box!

2:28 pm

MollyL

Could be, but I think they are too busy thinking everyone loves them to ponder such things.

2:29 pm

Trifioso

(( snort )) nef said "box"

2:29 pm

Nef

I wish I could say I never had to deal with an arrogant arseâ€¦.

2:30 pm

Nef

???? I guess I missed something before I entered chat?

2:30 pm

Trifioso

example: I was in my car, CLEARLY waiting for someone to pull out of a parking space, so I could pull in. A man came from the other angle and I cut me off. I gestured and mouthed to him "Sorry, I am waiting for this space." to which he shrugged and said "I DON"T CARE" and pulled in. tell me he DIDN"T know he was being an arrogant jerk?

2:30 pm

Nef

(but I can still guess at what it was I thinkâ€¦.)

2:30 pm

MollyL

No Nef, Trif is just being a dirty girl. : P

2:30 pm

uusue2

hi all!

2:30 pm

Trifioso

nah, I was just being juvenile, nef

2:31 pm

Trifioso

hi sue!

2:31 pm

Nef

hi sue. How are you and Frank doing today?

2:31 pm

uusue2

hi nef, Frank is doing ok, I am still recovering from whatever I had earlier in the week

2:32 pm

Nef

Trifi, I'd call that downright Rude.

2:32 pm

uusue2

started out as a sore throat, then congestion, now I am just tired

2:32 pm

MollyL

Trif, that is where we all wish we had the guts to be Evelyn Couch from Fried Green Tomatoes.

2:32 pm

Trifioso

but he knew, right?

2:32 pm

Nef

oh, my. Get better soon!

2:33 pm

uusue2

I have been taking it easy, nice to be retired :-)

2:33 pm

MollyL

I don't think they do know. I think they think they are deserving because THEY think they are so great. (But no one else does)

2:33 pm

Nef

it is, isn't it?

2:34 pm

Trifioso

sigh

2:34 pm

jaxx7

babs cy5 tree fern

2:35 pm

Nef

Trifi, he knew he was rude. I just think arrogant people think that they are so much better than others. (My soon to be ex-DIL referred to everyone else as "sheeple"

2:35 pm

MollyL

Life would be better if darts worked on big egos.

2:35 pm

Nef

LOL, Molly!

2:35 pm

Trifioso

i was so surprised. people I usually cross paths with are genuinely nice. To meet such an outwardly uncaring man was quite upsetting

2:36 pm

MollyL

Oh wow, soon to be ex-daughter in law? I am behind on the story of Nef.

2:36 pm

Nef

The divorce is final on April 29th. Thank goodness!

2:37 pm

uusue2

fireworks!

2:37 pm

Trifioso

huzzah for sue!

2:37 pm

Nef

YAY, sue!!! WTG!!!

2:37 pm

MollyL

I hope that means better days for your family Nef.

2:39 pm

Nef

My friend brought her new grandson over the other day and she said that the tension was gone from our household nowâ€¦. :-)

2:39 pm

uusue2

hoping for better times for nef too...

2:39 pm

rururocks

you should have aimed the car at him and yelled Tuwanda Trif

2:39 pm

Trifioso

did they have children nef?

2:39 pm

Trifioso

I have enough troubles nef!

2:39 pm

uusue2

ok, I am off again, bbl

2:40 pm

Nef

Yes, my almost 5 yr old grandson (he turns 5 May 2nd)

2:40 pm

Nef

Bye sue. HAGD!

2:40 pm

Trifioso

be so careful you don't lose contact with him!

2:41 pm

Nef

Right now, he and our son are living with us. I'm his main chid care person

2:41 pm

Trifioso

oh what a relief! try to keep it that way!

2:41 pm

Nef

(she's bipolar, plus toxic; there is no way that she could take care of him)

2:41 pm

MollyL

See, Mr. I Hate Chick Flicks seems to know a lot about them. : P

2:42 pm

Trifioso

huh?

2:42 pm

Nef

Molly, lots of guys like that movie though

2:42 pm

rururocks

*pounce - cuddle molly*

2:43 pm

MollyL

Ru's reference to Fried Green Tomatoes.

2:43 pm

MollyL

Yeah Nef, but more guys like The Princess Bride and, well, we won't go there again.

2:43 pm

Trifioso

oh, duh, sorry

2:44 pm

2:44 pm

Trifioso

okay, I have to go make SOMETHING out of this day...bye all!

2:44 pm

Nef

I'm not into movies, so haven't seen that one. I'll take your word on that Molly.

2:44 pm

Nef

Bye Trifi! Enjoy the day!

2:45 pm

Nef

Sorry Marc, I don't have it but am looking now

2:45 pm

MollyL

Oh barf, I can't stand Anne Hathaway. And for the one thousandth time THAT IS THE PRINCESS DIARIES NOT THE PRINCESS BRIDE.

2:46 pm

Nef

Are you yelling at yourself Molly?

2:46 pm

rururocks
