grannyrose

lolol, so welcome, they wouldn't let me leave. everyone kept coming up for a hug and a kiss. it was so nice.
1:13 am
Lizlin

Surely if there's stuff you're not able to do, they'll have to reconsider whether you're fit for work yet.
1:13 am
Lizlin

I was going to say I was sure that they welcomed you back - lol - it's obvious that you were missed.
1:14 am
puglet

at least they just started you out with 2 hours. Sounds like any more then that and you wouldnt had made it

1:59 am
puglet

2:00 am
grannyrose

2:02 am
puglet

2:03 am

2:04 am
sprite

hey, if you don't tell me yourself, pug needs to, silly rose! :)
2:04 am
grannyrose

just the FM exacerbated...
2:05 am
sprite

'just' the FM. Right. So... too much for the old body, rose, take a hint!
2:06 am
puglet

thats what I said--too much to soon
2:06 am
puglet

haha Rose, Sprite can read between the lines-lol
2:07 am
grannyrose

sweat poured off me, and my skin turned red. i can't feel the pain at all, but the FM let's me know.
2:07 am
sprite

so what are you gonna do in order to prevent this from happening again? Hm?
2:08 am
grannyrose

i forgot the magnesium this AM. have packed it already for next time.
2:09 am
sprite

*sigh* Ok, darling, lol. Word of advice: Stick with the 2 hours a week until you can do it while whistling with two fingers in your nose.
2:10 am
sprite

so... if we have my favorite bodypart plural pe5/12, why isn't wank valid?
2:11 am
puglet

did tim behave himself Sprite while your friend was there
2:12 am
puglet

I dont know sprite, I tried that too
2:12 am
sprite

he is being amazing, pugs. Helpful and upbeat and just all you could wish for.
2:12 am
grannyrose

mark it on the calender
2:12 am
sprite

kind of weird, isn't it pugs, that an ugly word like c*nt is valid while a rather innocent word like wank is not.
2:13 am
puglet

good for him! that made you feel good I bet
2:13 am
sprite

*giggles* You got it, rose!
2:13 am
grannyrose

in red...
2:13 am
sprite

yeah, it gives me hope that we all did the right things to bring him up as well as possible.
2:15 am
puglet

sounds like it sprite--right now he and you are just battling youth
2:17 am
sprite

puberty is a weird phase in life. Well, so far so good. My girl is in Spain now, with her friend and parents. Flew there by herself... I had a litter of kittens until she called that she made it there safely, pffffew.
2:18 am
grannyrose

roflol....poor sprite
2:18 am
puglet

I bet so---but Iam sure she is loving it
2:19 am
puglet

how long is she there for
2:19 am
sprite

letting go is hard, lol, rose. My husband brought her to Schiphol airport and made sure she was at the right gate. And the father of the friend was in Gerona when she landed. But still. She is only 16!
2:19 am
sprite

a week, pugs. Sunday till Friday. And then on Monday next she will go to England with school. Busy life they lead!
2:20 am
sprite

oh, you know kids... they think they are invincible and immortal.
2:20 am
puglet

its good they can get out to see the world though
2:22 am
sprite

oh yes, and I am proud as can be that she feels secure in herself that she can do stuff like this. She is lying on the beach now, in the warm sun, I bet. While we here have rain and fog and generally gloomy overcast weather.
2:22 am
puglet

I never had a chance to do any of that
2:22 am
puglet

as you should Sprite
2:23 am
grannyrose

brb, potty break
2:23 am
puglet

its rainy here too and we are to have rain up until first of next week
2:23 am
sprite

don't get me started on your folks, darling... ;)
You deserve so much better than you got.
2:23 am
sprite

and there goes our rose, breaking another potty...
2:25 am
puglet

by being on here I kind of get to see the world through everyone's eyes
2:25 am
sprite

yes, that is true. Oh, did you like your new puzzle?
2:26 am
puglet

I did but havent done it yet
2:26 am

good morning?
3:21 am
Dianne

Hi ruby
3:21 am
rubyfoo

hi dianne
3:22 am
rubyfoo

How is your weather? We've had 3 or 4 days of off and on rain and cool temps. Much colder than it was in March
3:22 am
rubyfoo

I'm afraid to look at the tomato plants which are probably moldering
3:23 am
Dianne

it's over cast and muggy here.
3:24 am
rubyfoo

how warm?
3:25 am
Dianne

in the 70's
3:26 am
Dianne

Ruby, are you a good cook?
3:26 am
rubyfoo

humidity s about 100 percent but it's less than 50F
3:26 am
rubyfoo

I used to be but now, don't do much.
3:26 am
Dianne

So who cooks your dinner?
3:27 am
rubyfoo

My specialty was gazpacho
3:28 am
rubyfoo

I cook, but nothing fancy any more. Something for husband, cooked food for dogs and "whatever" for me
3:28 am
rubyfoo

We used to entertain a lot, but no more
3:29 am
rubyfoo

I didn't realize that you were a New Yorker. From which part?
3:29 am
Dianne

We use to entertain quite a bit as well but some many of our friends have left Hong Kong so there aren't a lot of folks around/
3:29 am
rubyfoo

You must have great food, though. Here, the restos are barely so-so
3:30 am
Dianne

Born in upstate then moved to the Bronx, then Pennsylvania, New Jersey and then here.
3:31 am
rubyfoo

I lived in Binghamton for a long time, but grew up in Queens
3:31 am
rubyfoo

(very distinguished -- lol)
3:32 am
Dianne

We have absolutely fantastic restaurants here and they are mostly expensive (the rents are so high).
3:32 am
rubyfoo

are there dim sum places? or are they just in NY?
3:32 am
Dianne

feals
3:33 am
Dianne

And I knew that wasn't a word.
3:33 am
rubyfoo

try it without the s
3:34 am
Dianne

Dim sum place one nearly every street. Huge section in the froze food part of the supermarket.
3:34 am
rubyfoo

that was my favorite Sun morning thing when I lived in Manhattan
3:36 am
Dianne

We have a neighborhood place that quietly earned a Michelin star (it's a dumpy looking, tiny place). The food is great and for Hong Kong very reasonable.
3:36 am
rubyfoo

you are very lucky!
3:37 am
Dianne

Yes, we get take away from there about every ten days and for 4 dishes it coast about US $35.00
3:39 am
rubyfoo

Sounds like heaven to me. Oriental food is sorely lacking here as there aren't enough Orientals to provide a demand. There is one half-way decent sushi place but no Vietnamese or Thai and the Chinese places are awful
3:41 am
Dianne

You probably can't get the ingredients to make Chinese food at home (except for fried rice).
3:42 am
Dianne

east
3:42 am
rubyfoo

It is too hard for me and all the vegetables would have to be canned (which is what the use in the restos)
3:42 am
Dianne

I have to remeber where I am typing - ugh
3:44 am
rubyfoo

Did you find the k?
3:44 am
Dianne

yes
3:45 am
rubyfoo

stats, pls, I'm stumped
3:45 am
rubyfoo

(also stumped on 60 other words, lol)
3:45 am
Dianne

kn 4/9
3:49 am
rubyfoo

80 words but no 7's, 8's, k, left u or lower left e. Hopeless!
3:49 am
rubyfoo

Maybe later, when I come back, I'll have fresh eyes
3:49 am
Dianne

take care Ruby
3:50 am
rubyfoo

bye, always nice to see you
6:01 am
bichon

There's an 8 letter word in this grid. Hard to believe
6:01 am
bichon

Good morning
6:02 am
Anniebrook

hi bichon, just started too
6:02 am
bichon

hi Annie
6:13 am
rubyfoo

hello, ladies.
6:14 am
bichon

Hi ruby, you're back
6:14 am
rubyfoo

Annie, I'm glad you're here. I am just putting together an envelop for Bobby and can't remember if I sent him the photo of me holding Rufie when he was a baby
6:14 am
bichon

Sorry to hear you don't have good Asian food in your area
6:14 am
rubyfoo

Hah, you read the grid assiduously! lol
6:15 am
bichon

We have many restaurants on Main St. here in Middletown with great Asian food
6:15 am
rubyfoo

The food here is really poor and I'm too tired and lazy to cook anything elaborate at home
6:16 am
bichon

When we first moved here from NYC in 1972, there was hardly an Asian restaurant in this area of CT. Things have changed
6:16 am
Anniebrook

ruby, Im not sure. He has the envelopes on a shelf in his bookcase. He's getting dressed for work. Send it again if it is not too much trouble.
6:17 am
Anniebrook

well then, bichon, they all came from brooklyn. all the good chinese restaurants are gone except for chinatown in brooklyn.
6:17 am
rubyfoo

It is a nice photo of Rufe when he was small enough to hold on my lap. Now I could get on HIS lap.
6:18 am
bichon

In fact, to buy bagels you had to drive 15 miles to a bagel bakery.
6:18 am
Anniebrook

ruby, send it along. How much does Rufie weigh?
6:18 am
rubyfoo

There's a Chinatown in Brooklyn? I thought they all moved to Flushing and worked for the post office
6:19 am
Anniebrook


youre bad, ruby. Yes, on Eighth Avenue in Brooklyn.
6:19 am
bichon

There are no Chinese restaurants. It's all take out. But, there's about 4 of them in Middletown alone. A city of 44,000
6:19 am
rubyfoo

He must be about 80 lbs now and his torso is as long as mine. Otherwise, it's just a question of my legs being longer. lol
6:20 am
Anniebrook

Rufie has grown. He is so handsome.

At least there is finally a decent (not great) sushi resto, so I go there about once a month with my friend Catherine, when we go to the movies

There are many Russian restaurants where I live but I do not care for Russian food. My, how times have changed.

I love Turkish restaurants.

When I last lived in Manhattan, there was a good Turkish place on Columbus avenue

That is sad, Annie, I used to love their borscht with meat dumplings
6:26 am

That's still good. In my mother's Russian kitchen the food was fab. It was Jewish style tho and that is what I like.
6:26 am

We also have too many Italian restaurants to even think of. And great barbecue
6:27 am

My family was from the Ukraine/Romania border and the cuisine reflected that
6:27 am

Maybe hers was, too, bland but delish. I was the only one in our very large family who liked her food.
6:27 am

My parents were from Ukraine.

They used to eat Mama Ligga, which is like polenta

My mother was born in Dnepropetrovsk (formerly Ekaterinaslav) and father's family from a shtetl outside of Kiev named Kanotop

Those names are a mouthful. My father came from outside Odessa and my mother was from Kiev.

My grandparents left the area for two different reasons.
6:29 am

I look at all the Ukrainian faces on the news and can't help thinking about pogroms and all my dead forebears
6:30 am

If you have a glowing sweat you have a *****
6:31 am
bichon

Yes, I think of them all the time. My great grandfather refused to come to the US because he said it was "tref" [unkosher]
6:31 am
Anniebrook

my friend's grandson was supposed to come to NY to celebrate her birthday but they will not let him leave Ukraine. She is quite upset.
6:31 am

My grandmother's sisters were physicials and stayed after the revolution, only to be killed at BabyYar (forgive my horrible spelling of these names)

I don't understand why the Jews in Ukraine don't leave and go to Israel. Certainly a better econmy, to say the least
6:32 am
rubyfoo

It is probably too lte. Did you read that the Jews in Donetsk were told to register?
6:33 am
bichon

My grandfather was sent to the US because he sowed too many wild oats. My grandmother was sent because she was the youngest daughter and the prettiest. All the suitors wanted to marry her and not her sisters
6:33 am
Anniebrook

Yes, I couldn't believe it but then I am being naive. sp?
6:34 am
bichon

My s.i.l's family is Ukranian and there is definitely a lot of anti-Semitism under the surface
6:34 am
Anniebrook

bichon, good reasons to send them off. Did your grandmother marry quickly when she came to the US?
6:35 am
bichon

After she met my grandfather.
6:35 am
bichon

People got married young in those age
6:35 am
rubyfoo

That is a nice story, bichon. My father's parents left (separately) because of the pogroms in about 1903. But my mother's famiy left in 1910. Her father was a tailor and dancing instructor in the army. Father's mother became an actress in the Yiddish theater in Scranton where she met my grandfather, who was quite a roué!
6:35 am

My great-grandfather owned a tavern. Can you believe that? Jews owing a bar.

I am waiting for the TV guy to come and install a new antenna so that \I can watch the World Cup and the Tour de France without lying in bed all day
6:37 am
Anniebrook

My mother's family was wealthy and she was brought up by governesses but they were forced out of Kiev and everything was taken.
6:38 am
bichon

The irony of it. I married a German and our son really isn't into anything Jewish.
6:38 am
rubyfoo

What stories we have! I am lucky that my grandmother gave me all the old photos before she died as I was her fave (probably because I liked her food)
6:38 am
Anniebrook

bichon, don't you have a daughter also?
6:38 am
rubyfoo

My son makes a big point of telling people that he's Jewish as his father isn't and his last name is Irish
6:39 am
bichon

Yes, she's the one with the Ukranian husband [born in the U.S.]. She is adopted

Car, in my experience with Alzheimer's, a visit is always a good thing. The person doesn't need to remember who you are. They are aware that someone caring is there. That is enough.

2:54 pm

Liverpool is very warm this evening and it has been a glorious day with another to follow tomorrow apparently. How is your neck of the woods? xx
2:54 pm
jaxx7

Sunny but chilly. the temp has dropped this evening.
2:55 pm
worzel

I forget where you hail from Jaxx
2:56 pm
jaxx7

Manchester originally, ancestors from Liverpool, married a Devonian salmon fisherman and so I live in Teignmouth now.
2:57 pm
worzel

ah yes, that's right, Teignmouth. Where you the person I spoke to the other night about the development they are doing there?
2:57 pm
jaxx7

That was me
2:58 pm
worzel

We have some development work about to start on the corner of our road. We live in a predominantly poor area and, owing to the bedroom tax, most of the properties have been converted into one bed flats which is fair enough. But what do they decide to build there? On the corner of poor street? 2 and 3 bedroom houses!!!! Go figure!!
3:00 pm
jaxx7

Money talks and when connected with developers it shouts.
3:01 pm
worzel

It certainly does. They haven't even knocked down the old buildings that are there, and yet they reckon they'll have the properties finished before christmas. Can't wait to see that lol
3:02 pm
jaxx7

They will be finished but how good the finish will be is debatable
3:04 pm
worzel

Yes. When you consider how much money is being saved on public sector spending, and the fact that bidding these days is so lucrative, corner cutting is going to be the industry standard from here on in. Unfortunately it's only been the last 10 or 15 years that corner-cutting has been the mainstay, and I fear that in about 20 years time lots of properties are going to have to be demolished!
3:05 pm
jaxx7

You get what you pay for, they say. Look what happened to the buildings thrown up in the 1960s
3:07 pm
worzel

Yes. Plus concrete cancer and asbestosis because of a lack of research. Mind you the research is there today, but so are cheap materials
3:08 pm
jaxx7

All the buildings are the same boxes. You are hard put to it to know which town you are in.
3:09 pm
worzel

True. Having come from Exeter 4 years ago - and having lived in London and other places, the designs for social housing - and quite often private housing - are bog standard. We're all being "house pigeon-holed"
3:10 pm
jaxx7

No real character to towns these days.
3:11 pm
worzel

No. I wish I lived in a nice Cornish or Somerset village sometimes
3:11 pm
ch1212

"Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same."
3:13 pm
worzel

Good old Nina and Frederik lol
3:13 pm
jaxx7

Even those places aren't immune now that 'call me Dave' has decreed that building should be allowed in National Parks and in the green belt.
3:13 pm
ch1212

1962 song about towns and suburbs all looking the same.
"And the people in the houses
All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same."
3:13 pm
jaxx7

Pete Seager was ahead of his time, eh?
3:14 pm
worzel

I went to a place in Florida once called Celebration. It was a town built by Walt Disney and it was literally like stepping onto the set of The Stepford Wives. EVERY house and garden was identical - not a lie, totally identical. All the fittings and all the gardens - all the plants. Absolutely everything. It was horrible
3:14 pm

David Cameron should be put on a bloody bonfire on Guy Fawkes night - Guido would be proud to see that *** burning!!!

Dismal prospects for our children and grandchildren
3:16 pm
worzel

It's a worry the way the country is heading. I think the world is so sad compared to when I was young
3:17 pm
jaxx7

I think the early 60s were the best time to be alive.
3:18 pm
worzel

If I could choose a period to live in it would be the late 1800s - so many prospects and so much happening in the developing world - mainly for the good, too
3:18 pm
jaxx7

Awful if you were poor at that time
3:19 pm
ch1212

ah, but would you know it? Our opinions of past eras are informed by our experience here. People in 100 years might look back and say, the 1980 - 2020 decades were the best. So if I go through a time portal, I want my memories from here.
3:21 pm
ch1212

(the 'would you know it' in response to Worzel's comment about so much happening)
3:21 pm
worzel

To be fair though Jaxx any time is awful when you're poor. I would have enjoyed watching the world develop though. Also I do enjoy my time here today, but there are so many ways in which it can - and SHOULD BE - improved, and dippy Dave certainly doesn't help common folk like me!
3:21 pm
jaxx7

They probably will, ch1212, as we are heading into a very dreary future.
3:22 pm
jaxx7

That is because they have never been without privilege. They give their children what they had re education and wealth while denying the same for us proles
3:24 pm
worzel

I love being a prole!! Every time I win £2 on a scratchard it gives me a little feeling of joy financially. Knowing how well-off Cameron is that's a feeling he probably never gets. Only pleasure he gets is being the reverse of Robin Hood lmao

There have been a lot of changes on campus, wv, I enjoyed looking around - the old physics building (where I spent a lot of time) now houses womens' studies, and there is a big new science building
6:47 pm

I'm sure I wouldn't recognize much of the campus - I was a psychology major and also spent a lot of time at the Gorse Child Center
6:48 pm

Minveryork

Sa 4/8 my teeth in this grid after work. I was able to babble with ea4/4 today. I'm done at la 4/4 and have said my oohs and aa 4/5s over fireworks so here is a story of clues for babblers on the ea4/4 coast and on the west coast. When I was just a te4/4ager, I went to watch the Mets play baseball at Sh4/5 Stadium one Se 5/6ember night. Charlie Sh 5/12 was there. When they showed him on the big screen, he was fe5/16ing on some nachos and sa 5/10. When he saw himself on the screen,he put his he4/6 down and he sa4/8 down in his seat as if to hide.I can he4/5 husband ne4/4by getting impatient waiting for computer.Hubby thinks Babble is a wa 4/8e of time. I fe 4/7 what he will do if I do not give it to him. I will go ah 5/14 and give it to my hubby so things don't get te 5/10. I don't want an argument to en5/12&he la6/21 out at me. Hope that you have se4/4 more words with my story.I am going to get up on my fe 4/7 da 4/6 on into the bedroom to watch the film "Honey I Sh6/36 the Kids".See ya later
