lots of tiny grids, lately :(
1:47 am

this one's not easy, though, I don't think. odd words.
1:49 am

ah good, that makes up for it at least. Yesterday's was enjoyable!

Greetings Friends
1:51 am
sprite
heyyy pugs *hug* How are you? Did you manage to sleep and are you feeling any better?
1:53 am
puglet
Hugs Sprite. Feeling about the same--got a fever al little--and I did sleep some---How are you
1:54 am
sprite
the fever will help your body burn away the infection. But sorry you are feeling rotten :(
I am fine. Slept well, no bad dreams.
1:55 am
puglet
so glad, I pray for you on that every night--you got a big week end planned
1:56 am
sprite
aw sweetie, you are the best. I truly think the Big Guy is listening to you.
No, nothing big. Rob is organising a canoe event this weekend, he has Terra with him and is away until Sunday. So I have kid duty. But not going to work hard at it, grin.
1:57 am
puglet
You mean they are spending the whole week-end with you? wow! lol Has our Rose been on yet
1:59 am
sprite
haven't seen Rose yet, no.
And hey, you know teens... they will be in and out, emptying the fridge, asking for money, forgetting their chores.
2:00 am
puglet
just lock yourself in your room and have a me week-end--lol Use some of your new polish and just pamper yourself :)
2:01 am
sprite
oh, lol, you read my mind. Yes am gonna pimp my nails this weekend. And monday I am gonna spend with a friend, she is gonna teach me to play Colonists of Catan, we are gonna craft a bit and talk and laugh a lot.
2:02 am
puglet
Oh how nice! Do enjoy! Carol will more then likely be down tonight so will go to campgrounds if she does
2:03 am
sprite
oh that is great too. Did you read my email about what she said?
2:04 am
puglet
yes, maybe you are right. But I hope thats what it was
2:05 am
sprite
I really think so. She is your friend, so she cares about you.
2:06 am
puglet
I ran into a old horse club friend and she is to call me when the next meeting is but they are putting on a show the 19th so I will be going to that
2:06 am
sprite
your lovely magnet is sitting right next to me, did I tell you that? I put it on my computer.
2:07 am
sprite
oh wow, nice going! And yay for meeting an old friend. You are doing so great, pugs. Expanding your social circles again.
2:07 am
puglet
glad you liked it :) I would send you the real thing if I could-lol maybe something that looks like one of the dark hunters-lol
2:07 am
sprite
ooooo I wouldn't mind one of those, LOL
2:08 am
puglet
yeah! me either--lol
2:10 am
sprite
how are we on getting the books on your reader? And the music?
2:10 am
puglet
do you have a favorite one? I dont remember his name but the one from the old book, so far, I havent read all them yet
2:10 am
sprite
oh, Julian :)
My favorite... hm I have a couple of those. But maybe the wolf guy. Vane.
2:11 am
puglet
The reader I took to friend just yesterday and shes going to figure it out and then teach me and havent gotten to the music yet
2:11 am
puglet
oh yeah, hes good too :)
2:11 am
sprite
ok sweetie. Yay for the friend and let me know if I can help in any way.
2:12 am
puglet
okay will do!
2:12 am
puglet
Hope our Rose is feeling okay--and no headaches either from those meds
2:13 am
sprite
I have sent you an email with a link to the music folder.
2:13 am
puglet
good---thank you
2:13 am
sprite
Rose seems to be online. But maybe she isn't at the computer at all.
2:13 am
puglet
Sprite, I think this xp is causing me alot of the problems
2:16 am
sprite
it is quite possible, honey. Time to save up for a new computer. Now with the job and the insurance and your own banking account, you may have a chance, maybe?
2:17 am
puglet
yes, but it will be a while yet. Iam trying to catch up on things but its in the list
2:19 am
puglet
Iam sending out the gift today after work, and I ask what I can do to fix things so I hope it goes well there--I have been so sad over all that--will you pray for me on this, please
2:22 am
puglet
the place I get my computer work on, they have a lay-away plan there, so as soon as I can I will go put one in and make payments
2:23 am
sprite
oh yes I will, I already do, sweetie. You are high up in my prayer list :)
2:23 am
sprite
awesome, about the computer
2:23 am
puglet
thanks Sprit
2:23 am
sprite
will be right back, must help Caya with an email
2:31 am
puglet
Sprite, when I go to download your music, the music thats already on the mp3, will it over ride them or will it go to where those ends or do I need a card to record them on?
2:34 am
sprite
am back. The music will go to the player, it will not override any other music unless it has exactly the same name.
2:34 am
sprite
I don't think you need a card yet. Most players have a lot of space. Enough for 1000 mp3 songs or something like that.
2:35 am
puglet
Beth said she didnt have very many on there--thanks for the imfo
2:37 am
sprite
mp3 is a condensed format. It doesn't take up much computer space at all. Very practical :)
2:37 am
puglet
Iam not sure of the right spelling of this but I was thinking it might be fun for you and caya to buy one of those karaokie machion and have your own singing nights :)
2:38 am
puglet
they are so small too! Much smaller then the old walkmen's
2:38 am
sprite
lolllll it's an idea. My girl just bought herself a whole recording studio. She saved her wages all year and then spent it all on a new guitar and this recording stuff. Quality stuff too.
2:39 am
sprite
oh yes, the size of the players is mostly dictated by us having to be able to use them, lol... we need to push some buttons to get it to our liking.
2:39 am
puglet
good for her! Now you will have to get some kind of music instrament to join her--Drums maybe? lol
2:40 am
sprite
hm no not anymore. I used to play piano... must brush it up again. And flute, but don't have one anymore, gave mine away. And a little bit guitar, but by now Caya is wayyyy better than me.
2:41 am
puglet
Is she a good singer too
2:41 am
sprite
very much so, pugs. A voice like a crystal bell. She needs to work on her volume, she often sings too softly. But she is learning.
2:42 am
puglet
well Iam sure you could get back into the swing of it with a little pratice there
2:42 am
sprite
I have to say, the recording stuff works miracles in that respect, lol! She has to wear special headphones and can't hear her own volume, so she sings stronger with it.
2:42 am
puglet
well a microphone would help that
2:42 am
sprite
yeah I could. Should make it a daily thing again.
2:43 am
puglet
it would be a nice mother and daughter thing
2:43 am
puglet
you and caya could put on a show for us when we get to come-lol
2:44 am
sprite
she likes to do it with friends, as she should at her age
2:44 am
sprite
oh I will certainly ask her to play and sing for you.
2:44 am
puglet
I hope you will at least join her in one or two songs
2:45 am
sprite
if she is willing to play some that we both know, I will
2:45 am
puglet
I get over there, I might not want to return-lol
2:47 am
puglet
have you went and spoke to your group yet again
2:48 am
sprite
aw sweetie :) We'd gladly keep you, lol.
2:48 am
sprite
errrr which group? The eating disorder group?
2:50 am
sprite
I saw a couple of them 2 weeks ago, and am gonna spend Monday with one of them. We have another get-together with all of them somewhere in August, I believe.
2:51 am
puglet
I hadent realized how long it had really been since I have been away from the horse world until I talked to the friend yesterday :( Her kids were just little now they are 28 and twenty
2:51 am
sprite
fireflies. Cute grid. Too small though.
2:51 am
puglet
that will be nice for you and I know you enjoy doing that stuff
2:52 am
sprite
Amazing, isn't it, pugs? And we just don't FEEL that old. Most of the time, anyway.
2:52 am
puglet
I know--LOL
2:53 am
puglet
you have a beautiful week end and hugs and love--and all the blessings you can hold :)
2:53 am
sprite
thanks my dear friend. Same to you. *hugs* and have faith. Things will work out.
2:54 am

8:02 am
crosshair
Spiral staircases in medieval castles are running clockwise. This is because all knights used to be right-handed. When the intruding army would climb the stairs they would not be able to use their right hand which was holding the sword because of the difficulties of climbing the stairs. Left-handed knights would have had no troubles, except left-handed people could never become knights because it was assumed that they were descendants of the devil.
8:02 am

So Car, what are the plans for your boys and family this summer?
8:06 am

A little bit of scheduled activities, a little bit of down time....beach vacation at the end of August.

Nice! I hope to go to the Adirondack Mtns in 16 days, to meet my youngest sister, but my mother comes home from rehab in 4 days so I hope all goes well with her at home again. It's scary for all of us.

crossyis deep into the novella he is writing:) Feels good. I had to put it on the back burner for school , but am now hitting my 1000 word a day target and hope for 40,000 words for a novella in a collection of stories i have planned. It may, however morph into an actual 80,000 word book. Time will tell:) it is good to write just for the sake of creation once again;)
8:11 am

I NEED to go and must balance guilt if I go but resentment if I don't. My mother, brother, and local sister should be able to manage. I live 45 minutes away and I work, so I cannot be there all of the time anyway.
8:11 am
car.eeyore
Absolutely
8:11 am

8:12 am
Scrabbler
It is stressful, isn't it, Crossy? And Car, you take care of your mom too.
8:13 am

((crossy)) Yes, just writing for writing's sake is a good idea. Wish my book was coming along more quickly but can't rush it.
8:14 am

My mother's major health issue is terrible arthritis in knees impairing her mobility.
8:14 am
MimiCat
It's near impossible for me to write after a day of working at the computer so I must do so in my free time and there isn't much of that these days.
8:14 am
crosshair
it is hard to slot into a particular genre, scrabby. if anything i would call it Suspense/ mystery fiction
8:15 am
Scrabbler
Work sure gets in the way of our desired endeavors!
8:15 am
MimiCat
She should live here in AZ, Scrabs...the dry heat is excellent for arthritis. I hardly ever notice mine but sure do when I change climate.
8:15 am

it is scrabby. My da is bull headed and will self-destruct rather than listen to sound advice from those around him

Bye, Car.
8:17 am

He really needs to take care of that, crossy, as you know. Diabetes is nothing to neglect.
8:18 am
crosshair
yes,mimi. his eyes and legs are already beginning to suffer because of it, but he is stubbon
8:19 am
crosshair
i told him that when he dies an early death, I am going to carve "IDIOT" nice and deep into his headstone so people will know about it for hundreds of years.
8:20 am
MimiCat
If his kidneys get damaged, he may need to go on dialysis. I was on it for a while when I nearly died 15 yrs. ago and I can tell you it's no picnic. And it's difficult to find places that offer dialysis.
8:21 am
MimiCat
I always thought if I was buried I'd want my stone to read "I TOLD you I was sick!"

8:33 am

My garage abuts my house but I must exit front door and then open a door into the garage. I had this garage built a few years after I bought the house 25 yrs ago. But I just got a new garage door AND--finally--an electric opener!
8:34 am
hego
My old house had a manual door. What a pain.
8:37 am
Scrabbler
Yes! BRB, must grab breakfast.
8:38 am

Crossy still uses a manual can opener:).. at least I no longer have to open them with my hunting knife:)
8:39 am

lol, I use a manual can opener too. The electric ones are always malfunctioning.
8:39 am

yup. I just bought a real good manual opener. needs almost no effort at all to get the cans open
8:40 am

I have a naula can opener--easy.

When I was married the first time, we spent a year travelling around Europe while he did research and I took care of our 4 yr old. It was grand!
12:26 pm
ChrissieDee
I could go for that. It's just the motorbike bit that terrifies me.
12:26 pm
rubyfoo
Me, too. I rode on the back of a dirt bike once and vowed "Never more!"
12:27 pm
ChrissieDee
But then, you have led a colourful and adventurous life by the sound of it
12:27 pm
ChrissieDee
Still waiting for the book :)

4:50 pm
Soodle
Is it safe? Can I come in?
4:50 pm
rururocks
I think so.. you're from Ireland :D
4:51 pm
Soodle
Or maybe not! See my updated profile, Ru. Wink wink nudge nudge
4:52 pm
rururocks
cute.. around here .. one really never knows. :D
4:53 pm
Soodle
How's that ole car of yours going, Ru?
4:54 pm
rururocks
it's really fun.. I have been zipping around in it a lot.
4:54 pm
rururocks
It is SOOOOO me :D
4:55 pm
Soodle
I'm so utterly jealous of you that I'm finding it hard to think of something nice to say to you.
4:55 pm
rururocks
aw.. don't feel that way. I've earned it
4:56 pm
Soodle
Psshh. If that was the case, I'd be travelling in a Lear Jet!
4:57 pm
Soodle
'Reining in the green eyed monster'... I'm happy you are having fun Ru!
4:59 pm
rururocks
LOL.. I am.. after I'm divorced.. I think I'll try and fill the passenger seat too :D

5:05 pm
rururocks

5:05 pm
rururocks
I kinda took today off to do stuff around the house and thought I'd take a break from that.
5:07 pm
Soodle
Ugh. I hate taking time off to do housey stuff. You do it, then a couple of days later, it needs to be done again. Ugh
5:09 pm
Soodle
As I was going up the stair, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today... I wish that man would go away!
5:22 pm
rururocks
? I don't get that?
5:23 pm
rururocks
I better get rolling. Have to go shopping.. have a great weekend soodle.
5:25 pm

5:27 pm
Soodle
Hello (((Jaxx)))
5:28 pm
Soodle
Vintage, Molls!
5:28 pm
jaxx7
hello, soodle and Molly.
5:28 pm
MollyL
Soodle, you and my mother would have gotten along famously. She loved obscure poetry like that.
5:29 pm
jaxx7
Molly, I know the oem but didn't know it was 19th century.
5:30 pm
Soodle
:-) I love nonsense verse. Ogden Nash is one of my favourites.
5:30 pm
jaxx7
I remember reading it at school in the 1950s. Do you know who wrote it?
5:31 pm
jaxx7
Lewis carroll wrote some good ones too.
5:33 pm
jaxx7
That prolific poet anon wrote good stuff too.
5:33 pm
Soodle
Hughes Mearns, according to Google! And Jaxx, I love Lewis Carroll's stuff as well. The Walrus and the Carpenter, You are old, Father William.... great stuff!
5:33 pm
jaxx7
Did he write the Jabberwocky?
5:35 pm
jaxx7
We used to have an Eisteddfod every spring term at school. It was the subject of the 'Dance' House event.
5:36 pm
jaxx7
Twas Grillig and the Slithy Tove did gyre and gimbol in the mire
5:36 pm
Soodle
Ogden Nash's masterpiece is to this day:- Candy is Dandy, but Liquor is Quicker. 7 words - says it all!
5:38 pm
jaxx7
I have decided that I am uneducated where some things are concerned. I didn't know Nash wrote that.
5:42 pm
Soodle
Jaxx...me too. Thank goodness for Google!
5:43 pm
jaxx7
How do things go for your daughter who is a rep?
5:45 pm
Soodle
Well, week one is over now, and she is still gung_-ho!. It's a tough gig, but, seriously, that is why they are paying her big bucks! She is still very much in learning mode, but she is very very positive & up-beat, so, what else can a Mammy ask for?
5:46 pm
Babs1
clues for d words?
5:46 pm
jaxx7
Nothing, soodle. I am happy for her.
5:47 pm
Soodle
The house is awful quiet without her, though. Sarah is a larger than life personality and I miss her like crazy.
5:48 pm
Soodle
But... you know all about that, Jaxx. :-(
5:48 pm
jaxx7
That is probably why she will make an excellent sales person
5:48 pm
Soodle
Hey Babs :-)
5:50 pm
jaxx7
Yes, we do, but it wasn't for such a positive reason. I am past that now as my grandson more than makes up for it with his noise!
5:50 pm
Babs1
hey...just in from tidying garage...progress! with help of a new roommate..
5:51 pm
jaxx7
How would you like to come to England and clear our house out when you have finished, babs?
5:54 pm
jaxx7
We have acquired a baby seagull courtesy of Ashley. We told him to leave it where it was but he went and caught it anyway. The only place with a clear space for box and bird is the utility room.
5:55 pm
jaxx7
You could start there, babs
6:04 pm
Babs1
Clearing space to just get more organized and so I work better etc. Would be fun to help someone else clear though...want to clue the a and d words
6:04 pm
jaxx7
Nite all, I am off to my bed. look after yourselves.

Too bad it wasn't something else, this place could use some livening up.
8:19 pm
Dorens

rururocks
I wish I were still that cute
8:29 pm
Dorens

My walls in my bedroom were decorated with posters I'd hu 4/8 of him.Thought Swayze was the hottest hu4/10. Just looking at his posters st4/4red up knots in my belly. I made up love songs about him that I su 4/7 to myself. Husband is being his ev 4/7 self and taking away the computer.

10:55 pm
Minveryork
I just came back. Took a break for an hour. How are you
10:55 pm
Minveryork
My last day of school is Mon.Start summer school on Tues
10:56 pm
stidmama
wow -- I guess that is because of snow days? such a long year for you!
10:57 pm
stidmama
I am well, Min -- tired, but starting to get a few things done around the house. SO happy to be home. I even managed to get the hoses to the veggie garden connected (about 250 feet from the house spigot) yesterday to water... and then of course it rained - a lot! - last night and today.
11:01 pm
stidmama
poor ruru disappeared... *looks for ruru in the game room*
11:02 pm
Minveryork
We could use some rain in MY. Been very dry, hot humid!
11:02 pm
rururocks
I am here
11:03 pm
stidmama
aha! has it rained any down your way ruru? My great-aunt in Pismo says it's still just as dry as anything down there.
11:04 pm
stidmama
I hope it will rain for you both -- but not the big stormy rain, the nice gentle rain that washes off the roads and polishes the trees.
11:05 pm
rururocks
No rain..it is hot here now
11:08 pm
rururocks
Drought in Calif this year
11:09 pm
stidmama
I was hoping the el nino would bring you rain -- we are going to be warmer and dryer than normal, and usually you start to get more rain when that happens. I am going to hope so, anyway.
11:10 pm
rururocks
I doubt it
11:11 pm
rururocks
El nerdo is more like it
11:15 pm
stidmama
sadly, true
11:15 pm
stidmama
well, I should go be sociable with my menfolk. Grant is here this evening instead of with girlfriend, so we should be conversing instead of online.
11:15 pm
stidmama
Have a lovely weekend, all! *poof*
