stidmama

hey liz!

12:27 am

Lizlin

Hi stid - how are things with you?

12:35 am

stidmama

Things are winding down now Liz -- less than a month now until the end of school for me.

12:35 am

stidmama

How are they for you?

12:36 am

Lizlin

Good here, thanks. That year of school seems to have flown by :)

12:37 am

cybernan

hello everyone :)

12:37 am

Lizlin

Hi Nan

12:38 am

stidmama

hey nan

12:39 am

stidmama

yes, it has, liz -- I am looking for a position for next year already. It's a good thing to be a teacher, though I admit that this particular time may be more challenging than some.

12:40 am

Lizlin

Do you not want to stay at your current school or was it a 1 yr contract?

12:43 am

jillibus

just peeked back in (I keep wandering off) -- sorry I missed une (yes, it's been my bday), and hi ruru, liz, nan, mixi, torg...

12:43 am

Lizlin

Hi Jilli :)

12:44 am

Lizlin

Happy birthday, Jilli. Hope you've had a wonderful day :)

Thanks, Liz -- it's been fun.

12:55 am

saanichcat

Hello Stid!!

12:56 am

stidmama

sorry I wandered off Liz -- it was a one-year contract, AND the funding for my position has been cut. So a miracle could happen and they would hire me back. OR I can use the excellent references they are giving me and find a "continuing" contract somewhere. I am half hoping for both. I really like this school.

12:57 am

stidmama

Saanich, how is Cleo? My mother's dog is so enjoying the warming weather... the local cats seem pretty happy about it, too -- or did you have rain today?

12:57 am

Lizlin

np, Stid - lots of luck with the job search. What's with your house now - is it finished? I've been very out of touch with your news!

12:57 am

stidmama

no, house is still in progress. In fact, that is why I wandered off. I am uploading some pics to use on the blog. Will have a finished post in about 20-25 mintues.

12:57 am

stidmama

minutes.

12:58 am

saanichcat

Clio was put on a diet and and has run all her weight off in the sun/cloudy weather

12:58 am

stidmama

I am really hoping to move in before June begins. But then, I was hoping to move in before March, before April, before May...

12:58 am

cybernan

ground to a halt at 133 -- good night all :)

12:58 am

Lizlin

I'd love to see the pics.

12:58 am

Lizlin

Sleep well nan :)

12:58 am

Lizlin

Hopefully it won't be long now.

12:59 am

saanichcat

Stid, when you move, it will be the right time.

12:59 am

Lizlin

Very true.

Lizlin

Hi Rose. Good to see you. How's your day been?

1:11 am

jillibus

cooee rose!

1:12 am

grannyrose

nice. church, followed by grandson's footy match, followed by some retail therapy, followed by lunch, then home. and you?

1:12 am

stidmama

okay, sorry I vanished again. The post is up. A few pics are blurry... I have more to post tomorrow and Monday -- the kitchen has all kinds of pots and dishes being washed (we got our possessions back from the cleaning service -- they didn't clean much...); and Grant's senior project in the front yard really looks like something now!

1:12 am

grannyrose

~~~~~ Happy Birthday Jilli~~~~~~

1:12 am

stidmama

hey again rose!

1:12 am

Lizlin

Regular Sunday - domestic day - cleaning and shopping. But also had some fun putting together some CDs of music, for when we travel and hire a car without an iPod link.

1:13 am

jillibus

thank you rose!

1:13 am

grannyrose

*giggle* hey again stiddy. can't wait to check the pics out

1:13 am

Lizlin

Stid, can I see your blog somewhere?

1:13 am

stidmama

yes. my screen name dotcom, liz

1:13 am

jillibus

gonna check out stid's blog -- Liz was asking if it's public

1:14 am

Lizlin

Thanks, Stid, I'll check it out later.

1:14 am

stidmama

I put a "more" link so all the pics don't completely bog down people who visit the site.

1:15 am

Lizlin

Found it! So will definitely check it out. Funny how computers think for you. I'd barely finished your screen name, when it suggested your blog!

1:15 am

stidmama

:-)

1:15 am

stidmama

*mysterious mama voice* I am everywhere...

roflmao

1:16 am

Lizlin

lol

1:16 am

grannyrose

good grief, stiddy, i hope not. where were you two nights ago?

1:17 am

stidmama

let's see ... two nights ago I was tiling the <unspeakable> *mutter mutter mutter* shower stall.

1:18 am

stidmama

Also three nights ago, four nights ago, last night, tomorrow night...

1:18 am

Lizlin

Love your kitchen :)

1:18 am

grannyrose

whew!! i mean, oh were you dear? terrible place to be.....lolol

1:18 am

stidmama

Thanks liz -- it is HUGE. But we cook a lot so it will be perfect.

1:19 am

jillibus

back from the stidblog -- even more fabulous. Those who haven't seen it, scroll back to the kitchen. I envy it -- and that shower -- wow!

1:20 am

stidmama

I like jill's kitchen though. It is nicely set apart from the main living space (ours is so out in the open) but still close to guests, and big enough to work in but not so big you need a phone to talk across to the other side.

1:22 am

Lizlin

Your kitchen reminds me of my SILs kitchen. I love the space. Ours is also large but I'd kill for gas to cook with!

1:22 am

grannyrose

stid, it is amazing what you have achieved, dear, considering all the set-backs you have gone through. it looks truly amazing.

1:23 am

jillibus

My kitchen needs re-doing, and I find it too cut off from guests, but I'm $tuck with it.

1:23 am

stidmama

Well, it's propane (not quite as hot as methane) but better than electric.

1:23 am

stidmama

LOL jill -- I "hear" you on that one!

1:23 am

grannyrose

* faints * himself has just walked through to have a shower....his second for the day. it takes a team of wild horses to get him to have one.

1:24 am

stidmama

I am already making a mental list of upgrades, re-dos and improvements for later on...

1:24 am

stidmama

wow. Is it that hot?

1:24 am

jillibus

I'm with you about gas cooking, Liz, but don't have it.

1:25 am

grannyrose

i love gas cooking, in all forms. and when the kitchen is done it will be entirely gas (natural )

1:25 am

Lizlin

We'd have to cook from a gas cylinder if we wanted to cook with gas. There's no natural gas here.

1:26 am

grannyrose

not really, stid. he's been out, cleaning the gutters. it appears every tree within a forty mile radius has dumped it's leaves in our gutters.

1:26 am

jillibus

Ditto, Liz

1:26 am

stidmama

we have our propane trucked in, liz -- a 500 gal tank in the backyard provides heat, hot water, cooking... and power when the electricity fails in the winter.

1:26 am

rururocks

watch out for gutters GR

1:26 am

Lizlin

Huh! Would he like to clean ours? They haven't been done for a while.

1:27 am

stidmama

ah, ya4 work will do that to a person -- First thing Grant and Tom do when they get back from their outside activities is shower!

1:27 am

grannyrose

yeah, i know, they will gut you every time....lol

1:27 am

Lizlin

so how long would a 500 gal container last - approx.?

1:28 am

stidmama

It used to last about 4 - 6 months (less use in the summer of course) at 80% full (the most they can fill it legally). I expect it will be even less usage now with the upgrades to radiant floor heat and all. Although... the fireplace might tempt me to use more than I might otherwise.

1:28 am

Lizlin

Interesting. Might be something to consider one day.

1:29 am

grannyrose

liz, that's close to 1900 litres.

1:29 am

Lizlin

Especially because we need to install some sort of heating in our living area - cheaper than reverse cycle air conditioning, which is what we use now - not that we use heating that much in a year.

1:30 am

Lizlin

Thanks Rose - gals are also OK for me, coming from the UK.

1:30 am

grannyrose

well, you wouldn't liz, not up there. does your unit have ' home leave ' on it?

1:30 am

stidmama

oh -- sorry I always convert the heat units, forgot volume conversion!

1:31 am

Lizlin

Home leave?

1:31 am

stidmama

LOL I don't know what reverse cycle air conditioning is, unless it's like our "heat pump" systems in the states where they use the heat of the earth to heat the house?

1:31 am

Lizlin

We probably need heating on about 20 - 25 days in total - to take the chill off in the morning and at night.

1:32 am

grannyrose

yeah, a setting for when you are out of the house, or at night when you are in bed. it runs at a lower temp. but keeps the house warmish.

1:32 am

Lizlin

Reverse cycle air con can be set to a Heat option.

1:32 am

Lizlin

We have no heating system here Rose, other than the air con.

1:33 am

Lizlin

Last week was cold - down to 6 - 8 C at night. Back to about 13 C at night now.

1:33 am

jillibus

How lovely that you don't need a heating system!

1:33 am

grannyrose

that's what we are using, liz. a reverse cycle unit.

1:34 am

jillibus

But then WE don't need Air con

1:34 am

stidmama

Gee -- we went with radiant floors because I am almost always cold in our climate (except about two weeks in September when I think that the north pole looks pretty good...)

1:34 am

Lizlin

We find that's fine, while it's on - but the living area is quite large and when it's turned off, it cools very quickly.

1:34 am

stidmama

now the floors stay about 17 C (68 F) all the time and the whole house is finally comfortable. On the really hot days where it was over 85 here it stayed about 18-19 C. Loved it.

1:34 am

jillibus

year yearn

1:35 am

Lizlin

My body has acclimatised to Queensland living! I used to laugh at people in hoodies and jeans in the winter - now I'm one of them!

1:35 am

rururocks

Jilli's working the y's now everyone

1:35 am

stidmama

Liz -- there are little propane fireplaces that can be both pretty and useful. We put one in our house for an additional boost in the main living space in the winter if we have guests who need it warmer.

1:35 am

grannyrose

at least until the ducted heating (gas) is put in, and that's not until after the kitchen is done, which is not until after we have emptied said kitchen and laundry, and gutted the rooms....

1:35 am

stidmama

oh rose -- that is a LOT of work

1:35 am

Lizlin

But it will happen :)

1:35 am

jillibus

oh de4 I did it again :-(

1:36 am

rururocks

:D

1:36 am

Lizlin

Yes, Stid - we've been looking at that type of heating - we were going to do it this winter but will probably wait until next winter now.

1:36 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah....we are looking into having some-one do the whole thing from woe to go...

1:37 am

Lizlin

Pleased to hear that Don has given up on doing it himself.

1:38 am

stidmama

some things are just better left to the pros... not because we "can't" do it, but because our time is far too valuable. :-D

1:38 am

grannyrose

* giggle * thank heavens for small mercies, liz. didn't want to be entirely without a kitchen of some kind for 3 ye4s

1:38 am

jillibus

That's another upgrade I want to do -- my gas fireplace doesn't have a remote and is a pain to light -- now they are available with remotes which light them with a mere click, and control the heat given out.

1:38 am

Lizlin

Perish the thought, Rose!!!!

1:39 am

Lizlin

Go for it, Jilli - you don't want to get cold.

1:39 am

dizgrannie

FWs

1:39 am

grannyrose

WTG DIZ!!!!

1:39 am

jillibus

Oh, I don't get cold -- baseboard electric heating is the main thing.

1:39 am

Lizlin

Congrats, Diz.

1:39 am

stidmama

YAY dizgrannie!!!

1:40 am

1:40 am

1:41 am

stidmama

1:41 am

Lizlin

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, STid.

1:42 am

jillibus

Did I mention I got nbt, nbs, and nbg some time ago? But not even halfway yet and heading for bed. Goodnight stiddy -- take care of yourself -- so glad your guys are helping.

1:42 am

Lizlin

WTG Jilli. Sleep well.

1:42 am

jillibus

And goodnight all ...*poof

1:43 am

Hi Liz

1:50 am

puglet

I'm good and you

1:50 am

Lizlin

Good thanks.

1:51 am

puglet

you get a break from your busy schedule at last?

1:52 am

Lizlin

Sort of. Things are still busy but today was a domestic day - cleaning and shopping and I had fun this afternoon compiling some music CDs for when we travel.

1:53 am

puglet

swamped with red boxes-----------how soon are you leaving out

1:54 am

Lizlin

I'll e mail you about that - don't put that sort of thing in public!!!!

1:54 am

puglet

okay

1:54 am

Lizlin

We're lucky though because when we do travel, we have people staying here.

1:55 am

puglet

I wish you loads of good times

1:55 am

puglet

thats good

1:58 am

Lizlin

Just sent you a very short e mail. But have to go now. Been at this for 2 hours - have 45 left, which I'll tackle later.

1:58 am

Lizlin

Definite babble blindness now!

1:58 am

puglet

alright Liz--take care and bye

1:59 am

Lizlin

You too Pugs - I'll probably have my iPad nearby and might make the occasional comment! Take care and hugs.

2:31 am

grannyrose

back in, hello and {{hugs}} miz pugs

2:31 am

puglet

hello and hugs Rose

2:32 am

puglet

did you have a good day

2:33 am

grannyrose

quietish, church, then deacon's footy match, some retail therapy, lunch, then home. and yes, i sat down for most of the service...lol...;-P

2:34 am

grannyrose

have you had a good night? i don't think you answered me the other day about the headaches. are they still happening?

2:34 am

puglet

good for you! I guess you get a big gold star then for doing good-lol

2:35 am

puglet

Rose, I took your advice on that which I wrote you about and I had a visit last night and it was as if nothing happen---lol

2:36 am

grannyrose

i am so glad, de4. good on you...well done. do you feel more comfortable about things now?

2:37 am

puglet

yeah---lol

2:39 am

puglet

she even brought me a new blouse her daughter got her and it wouldnt fit her--she wouldnt let me pay her for it ---sometimes its so hard to figure out people-lol

2:40 am

grannyrose

may be she had a rush of hormones....you would understand that.

2:41 am

puglet

I dont know what it was--shes a few years older then me

2:41 am

grannyrose

ah well. the saying goes...least said, soonest mended. it would seem that it is right.

2:41 am

puglet

what was your message on at church today

2:44 am

puglet

I was watching a pastor on tv and they were stating that one out of two marriges end in divorce but couples that prayed out loud together the rate was one in ten-thousands---isnt that something?

2:44 am

grannyrose

the sermon was about how thomas had to ask where Christ was going, and Phillip asked Christ to show them the Father. from John 14 : 1-14. vicar said they must have been palm-forehead moments for Jesus. when he had spent 3 ye4s teaching them those exact things.

2:46 am

puglet

Ours is suppose to be on Angels today--so I'm kind of looking forward to that

2:48 am

grannyrose

that should be interesting. and amazing facts re praying aloud together. don and i pray together every night.

2:49 am

puglet

you are so lucky Rose

2:50 am

grannyrose

one day i will email you and tell you our love story. it goes back 30 ye4s.

2:51 am

puglet

I cant wait :)

2:52 am

puglet

did your first hubby attend church with you

2:53 am

grannyrose

he did, but wasn't baptised/confirmed until our first boy was born. it was very strange. straight after his confirmation, he rushed out to the toilet and was violently ill, like something evil was trying to get out.

2:54 am

puglet

thats weird--for sure

2:55 am

grannyrose

he didn't practice what he said. we would leave the church, and before we were 50 feet from the church, he would be reaching backwards, punching and pinching the kids for some supposed infraction during service.

2:57 am

puglet

just attending dont make you one with God

2:57 am

grannyrose

no wonder my eldest hates religion. he would remember that.

2:58 am

puglet

I can see that and thats sad

2:59 am

grannyrose

the two younger ones, well simon worships openly, and josh at least believes in the creator god, but doesn't formally worship.

2:59 am

puglet

He may when he gets older Rose

3:00 am

grannyrose

at least he hasn't slammed the door.

3:00 am

puglet

thats a plus

3:01 am

sprite

3:03 am

sprite

yesterday was a lovely day :)
Just got up after a night of bad dreams, will feel better soon.

3:03 am

grannyrose

sprite, i finally got out and bought my new dressing-gown. it's made of polyester polar fleece, but is very light, so i won't get too hot. it is, of course, the most luxurious shade of deep purple.

3:04 am

sprite

oh wowwww sounds wonderful

3:04 am

grannyrose

*gentle hugs and butterfly kisses* fell our love pouring over you, dearest.

3:04 am

3:06 am

grannyrose

* smooooch *

3:06 am

sprite

I love purple too. And I love to combine it with deep deep red.

3:08 am

grannyrose

*giggle* sounds like a marvellous colour combo for a fuschia. are you pa4 fuschia, sprite?

3:08 am

sprite

I think so. I may be channeling my inner fuschia.

3:09 am

grannyrose

3:13 am

sprite

3:13 am

puglet

3:13 am

grannyrose

we are gonna slide straight from autumn/fall and into spring.

3:15 am

puglet

do you have to wear a coat in winter there Rose and hats and gloves and boots-lol

3:15 am

sprite

about the same as here in the netherlands, rose. We didn't have a winter worthy of the name either this ye4.

3:15 am

grannyrose

not me, but the rest of the population does...lolol

3:15 am

puglet

no you guys sent it all to us-lol

3:16 am

puglet

next year is all your guy's turn

3:16 am

grannyrose

3:16 am

sprite

hehehe pugs deserves the best of everything

3:17 am

puglet

and its still ccold--even had a bit of frost last night

3:17 am

puglet

3:17 am

grannyrose

3:17 am

sprite

poor pugs. Stuck in eternal winter. Shoot that groundhog next ye.

3:17 am

puglet

3:17 am

grannyrose

* kiss, kiss * pugs

3:18 am

grannyrose

all 3 are here in the same town as me.

3:18 am

puglet

I'm talking about your adopted one

3:19 am

puglet

things still okay with caya, Sprite

3:19 am

grannyrose

probably slept in...it's all frogface's fault. she probably kept him up late.

3:20 am

sprite

she is living it up this weekend. Went to a friend in harderwijk, then on to riding lessons, then on to another friend for bbq and another sleepover.

3:20 am

puglet

I dont like calling her that--just dont seem right or nice

3:20 am

sprite

omg found the 8 as well. Woot.

3:21 am

grannyrose

yay, caya, you rock girl!!

3:21 am

puglet

good for you too-lol

3:21 am

sprite

she said it helps her to keep occupied. No time to think. So I am letting here, even though I can see it is tiring her out too much.

3:22 am

puglet

I bet it does

3:22 am

puglet

Rose, I cant believe you adopted him and not Sprite and I--lol

3:23 am

sprite

yes I have to say it is good for me to be a weekend on my own. Except for the boy who drops in and out for food, lol. But he is low maintenance atm.

3:23 am

grannyrose

sprite, tired is good. she needs to be drop dead tired, dear. while her head gets around what has happened.

3:23 am

puglet

count your blessings on that-lol

3:23 am

sprite

we are sisters of the soul, pugs. No adoption needed. Closer than this is hard to come by.

3:24 am

puglet

true

3:24 am

grannyrose

right on, sprite

3:24 am

sprite

I know, rose, that is why I am letting her. She has to be able to follow her own wisdom in this.

3:25 am

grannyrose

and caya knows you are there for her, 100%. and that is very important for her to know.

3:25 am

puglet

Iam so glad the others stepped up and supported her--that was a big healing right there

3:26 am

sprite

it really was. And a friend from school called for her yesterday to invite her to another bbq, lol... she could choose and pick. I think that is indeed healing for her.

3:27 am

grannyrose

caya is so fortunate. a mother like you, and friends like hers.

3:27 am

puglet

yes she is

3:28 am

sprite

that is a beautiful thing to say. And she deserves all that, too.

3:28 am

puglet

and its great that she can come to you to talk too

3:28 am

grannyrose

you know what my mother was like...and i was never invited to a friend's home for any occasion.

3:28 am

sprite

that is what she said to me. That she knew, no matter what, she could always talk to us about everything.

3:29 am

grannyrose

God Bless her, i hope she heals rapidly.

3:29 am

sprite

wish we could have locked your mother in a room with my father, rose, lol. And you are invited to my home for anything and everything.

3:31 am

puglet

Rose, is Fang now out of your guy's life? You havent said anything about her for quite some time

3:31 am

grannyrose

thanx hun, and i know pugs wants me over there. hmmmm how to work this out. have to fly pugs to sprite's, and then fly all 3 of us to pugs'. yeah i can do that. just need to work out when.

3:32 am

grannyrose

strange you should ask, pugs. we haven't heard hide nor hair from her since MIL's death. apart from don's birthday party.

3:32 am

sprite

lol indeed, rose. And we need to kick the neighbours out of their house then, so we can find beds for you.

3:32 am

puglet

I have decided to go job hunting, hopfully tuesday

3:32 am

sprite

oh wowwww pugs! What kind of job?

3:32 am

puglet

did she come to the party then

3:32 am

grannyrose

3:33 am

puglet

whatever I can find--not going to be too picky

3:33 am

sprite

awesome, rose.

3:33 am

sprite

what will you do about your sister when you are out working, pugs?

3:34 am

grannyrose

yes, pugs. we didn't have a lot to do with her. but we would have heard it all if we didn't invite her, and she found out. anything for peace, right?

3:34 am

puglet

for right now Im going to try for part time and she how that goes

3:34 am

puglet

I havent said anything but the mentalness is getting worse

3:35 am

sprite

sounds good to me. Am so proud of you, pugs. You are so strong. *hugs*

3:35 am

sprite

might be good for you to be away from it all for a couple of hours a day too, darling.

3:36 am

grannyrose

yay, pugs, re the job hunting. if it's right, you will find it. your sister is too sad.

3:36 am

puglet

thanks--just hope I can find something--jobs are not that easy to find and right now all the school kids are out for summer jobs too

3:37 am

puglet

red boxes again

3:37 am

sprite

pugs, lay it all in God's hands, darling. Just heap it up there and let go of it, and He will sort it out.

3:39 am

puglet

I think to start out Iam going to all the nursing homes and put in for housekeeping--I dont think my body will let me lift people any more

3:39 am

grannyrose

pugs, do you have a minder for her, if you do find employment?

3:39 am

puglet

no Rose

3:40 am

puglet

if I can get a few hours aday--that might work out

3:42 am

puglet

I have to do something to pay for these doctor bills

3:43 am

sprite

it sounds like the right way to go about it, pugs. Will pray for you.

3:43 am

puglet

thanks

3:43 am

grannyrose

pugs, dear....something has to happen, soon.

3:44 am

puglet

I think I would feel better too getting away from here for a little time and I like working

3:45 am

sprite

yes I think it will do wonders for your state of mind.

3:45 am

grannyrose

exactly, pugs. and now you understand why i have to get back to work. i have to get out of here.

3:45 am

puglet

I understand Rose

3:46 am

sprite

we never did not understand, rose. We do. We just ask you to take it really slow and pay attention to your body. You won't be helped by pushing it and then being stranded at home again for ages.

3:47 am

puglet

you do tend to over do it Rose--lol

3:47 am

sprite

what pugs says

3:48 am

grannyrose

*sigh* yes dearest friends.

3:48 am

puglet

I do hate reminding you of this but you are not 18 years old

3:49 am

sprite

we want you to be able to ride out with Don again and have adventures and fun. Rather than going to work, hurt yourself and sit home in pain and nausea.

3:49 am

I like the non-strenuous kind of walking, Peri. Those people who are "power walking" never look like they are enjoying themselves.

12:20 pm

periwinkle

I have never tried power walking but I might. I meant that there were no high hills, just slopes and little hills. I am not a hiker. But I would get better if I did it more. It was a lovely day. This was along the Schulykill river and the whole area was mobbed. Boat racing and other things.

The surgeon says when they take the metal out I will have to be non-weight bearing and wear the boot cast thing for a while but not as long as before. This time we only need the soft tissue to heal itself and the bone to fill in all the screw holes.

Just slipped and dislocated my foot, then tried to stand on it and broke my ankle (the two leg bones at the bottom). Very dumb

5:46 pm

periwinkle

yikes!

5:47 pm

periwinkle

are you having a lot of pain?

5:47 pm

Bugsaw

Yes. Last time was a long tme off my feet because all the tendons and ligaments had to reattach and heal as well as the bones.

5:48 pm

Bugsaw

more discomfort than pain. I get migraines and compared to that it is not too bad.

5:49 pm

Jillyjill

Hello again Babbleworld! Hi to peri and bugsaw! Glad you are healing bugs!

5:49 pm

Bugsaw

What I am most worried about is that because of the unconscious limp my opposite hip is going out much more often! I am considering going to a chiropractor...

5:49 pm

Bugsaw

Hi Jilly. How are all the people in your world today?

5:49 pm

periwinkle

that might help.

5:49 pm

periwinkle

hi Jilly, a belated happy birthday to YOU!!

5:50 pm

jaxx7

If you are in a lot of discomfort, Bugs, try acupuncture

5:50 pm

Jillyjill

Thanks peri....LOL

5:50 pm

Bugsaw

peri is being sympathetic which helps in itself. The best thing is that my husband is FINALLY fixing the back steps so I can get up and down into the house easier.

5:50 pm

Jillyjill

And bugs, my world is pretty darn good!

5:50 pm

Bugsaw

Good idea jaxx. I have never tried it and always wanted to.

5:51 pm

MollyL

Oh I'm dumb. I thought it was Jillibus's birthday.

5:51 pm

Bugsaw

Jilly I didn't realise you and Jilli had birthdays at the same time. Happy belated birthday to you!

5:51 pm

periwinkle

glad to hear about the back steps being fixed, Bugs. You can e-mail me anytime.

5:52 pm

periwinkle

Jillibus didn't you have a recent birthday? or am I confused?

5:52 pm

Jillyjill

We don't, mine was April 30th, hers was this past week.

5:52 pm

Jillyjill

Jilljill not jilibus peri

5:52 pm

periwinkle

ooops. I meant Jillibus and she is not here

5:54 pm

Bugsaw

I love Mr Bugs very much but he sure is slow to get around to things. I have needed the steps fixed since January. He had 3 months before that to fix them. he is only doing it now because his sister-in-law needed her car fixed and he said he would do it. He thought about doing it every day for a long time and finally phoned her to find out she had fixed it and SOLD it a while ago. He was insulted until I reminded him about the steps..... today is the day :)

5:54 pm

jaxx7

I suffer from migraine too. The hemiplaegic sort that mimic a stroke and they are Hell. You must be very stoical if you say the ankle and other bones are less painful than a migraine. My daughter slipped om ice a couple of years ago and did the same thing. She wasn't allergic to the metal but they made a mess of the op and she is still in pain. I sympathise totally.

5:56 pm

Bugsaw

jaxx I am sure the surgery was done properly. I can see that in the Xrays. It is the tissue all around my ankle and half way up the thigh that is bothersome. Then the swelling drops down to my foot and ankle area because of gravity. I still have to wear a shoe 2 sizes too big on that foot. I think that is adding to the limp too.

5:57 pm

periwinkle

Bugs, it sure sounds like you have had a lot to deal with.

5:58 pm

Bugsaw

I feel badly for your poor daughter. At least I have hope that it will feel better one of these days! i will always have arthritis in that joint but it is much worse in my lower back so I guess it is relative.

5:58 pm

jaxx7

My husband's motto is never do anything today you can leave for the next few years. If pushed he will start eagerly but always stops before he has completely finished. When he repainted the house he ran out of paint with about two sq yards to go. It was like that until the house needed repainting 10 years later.

5:59 pm

Bugsaw

LOL jaxx! That almost finished part sounds like me and the slow to get going sounds like Mr Bugs! Our whole house is a semi-wreck.

6:00 pm

jaxx7

Bugs, are you on any pain medication? read the leaflet that comes with it. I read only last week that some meds cause the ankles to swell any way?

6:01 pm

Jillyjill

<---!!FW!!

6:02 pm

periwinkle

yay for Jilly Jill!!

6:02 pm

Bugsaw

Mr Bugs' favourite motto is Start off slow and taper off.

6:02 pm

Bugsaw

YAY Jilly Jill!

6:02 pm

Bugsaw

YAY Jilly Jill!

6:03 pm

jaxx7

My husband , bless him, is so laid back that he's almost horizontal. It can be useful sometimes in that he rarely panics but very annoying if you need something done at once.

6:03 pm

jaxx7

I shall print that motto off and pin it on our noticeboard in the kitchen.

6:04 pm

Bugsaw

Sounds they they were separated at birth. I say my husband moves as fast as advancing glaciers.

6:04 pm

jaxx7

Well done, Jilly.

6:05 pm

Bugsaw

I asked him once if a tsunami was coming and I screamed at him to RUN NOW! would he do it? He thought for a bit and told me I had better prepare to be a widow.

6:05 pm

periwinkle

what a thing to say!

6:06 pm

jaxx7

Your husband isn't a fisherman by any chance? My husband was a commercial salmon fisherman before he retired. he always went by how far the water came up his hand when he put his finger tips on the bottom. Time, no, tides? well now you are talking. lol

6:06 pm

Jillyjill

Pretty easy grid today. May not be on this next week...too much on my plate...studying for Pediatric Advanced Life Support class, painting shed and next weekend heading to Yellowstone!

6:07 pm

Bugsaw

that was when we were trying to get down island for our wedding peri and we had car trouble. He was so laid back I went straight to panic mode. It did make me laugh and I am much calmer now too

6:07 pm

periwinkle

ok

6:07 pm

Bugsaw

I love Yellowstone Jilly. So much variety and wonderous things to see.

6:09 pm

Bugsaw

He has the patience of a fisherman but not commercially. He is a boat builder by hobby

6:09 pm

periwinkle

FW!!

6:09 pm

jaxx7

Your husband must have Devonian fishermen in his family tree!

6:09 pm

jaxx7

Hurray for peri

6:09 pm

Jillyjill

WooT WooT WooT peri!!

6:09 pm

periwinkle

ty bye for now

6:09 pm

Jillyjill

Oldest son working his 3rd season there. About a 6 hour drive from our house. But it's a 3 day weekend.

6:09 pm

periwinkle

Bugs, I will send positive thought your way

6:10 pm

Bugsaw

YAY peri! I should be quiet now and get back to the grid. He is a Swedish speaking Finn jaxx.

6:10 pm

Bugsaw

Right Jilly I remember now that he is working in the park. So you are going for family more than experiences. I wish you all a happy time together.

6:11 pm

jaxx7

So will I, Bugs, that a miracle happens and you get your easy access and that it is completed before that tsunami arrives. lol

6:11 pm

Bugsaw

Thanks Peri for all the good wishes. Some days are rougher than others and everythng helps

6:11 pm

Jillyjill

Oh, we'll have experiences! Yellowstone never disappoints!

6:12 pm

Bugsaw

Blessing to you all

6:13 pm

Jillyjill

Healing blessings to you bugs!

6:14 pm

jaxx7

All that chatting and no spelling. Now it is gone midnight and my bed beckons. Take care all of you. Jilly don't work too hard and Bugs you will be in my thoughts. Peri, I hope to meet up with you tomorrow.

6:15 pm

Bugsaw

nice to meet you jaxx. I will be your way one day

6:15 pm

I do hope so.

Oooh...ty Molly

6:59 pm

MollyL

You're welcome Liz. I figured I had a slim chance of most people getting that since this is not a rock music crowd (for the most part)

6:59 pm

Lizlin

Rock music is my fav!

7:00 pm

car.eeyore

Me too...especially 70's

7:00 pm

Lizlin

Same here.

7:01 pm

MollyL

There was rock music in the 70's?

7:01 pm

car.eeyore

Oh ha ha

7:02 pm

MollyL

Only kidding, but rock was so overshadowed in the 70's and 80's by horrible bands and pop/disco musicians.

7:02 pm

car.eeyore

The Billboard Music Awards just started...talk about NOT rock music. UGH

7:03 pm

car.eeyore

PitBull needs a tuning fork

Billboard is a joke these days. All based on how many teenagers buy what recordings.

In the 1950s, Harper Lee moved to New York to become an author. Her 1960 novel To Kill a Mockingbird won a Pulitzer Prize, but aside from a few nonfiction magazine articles she's published since, sheâ€™s refused to write anything elseâ€”including a foreword for her lone novel.
