2:29 am
grannyrose
xoxox zooz, {{hugs}} sprite, and hi chrissie, xox
2:31 am
grannyrose
just about, sprite. starting to feel my old self again, although muscles are still a little achy. don took me out for lunch today which was very nice.
2:32 am
sprite
good man Don. Am glad you are almost over that darn cold, rose. Please remember to keep things relaxed for a couple more days, so you can build your strength back up.
2:32 am
grannyrose
how's your back, sprite?
2:33 am
sprite
yucky. Guess the stress isn't helping, lol.
2:33 am
grannyrose
no chance of me doing anything strenuous, sprite. hips are still really sore. i'm starting to get a tad worried, hun.
2:34 am
sprite
oh no need for that, rose, dear friend. Nothing worrisome. Just the normal pain.
2:34 am
grannyrose
have things settled a little, dear?
2:34 am
sprite
they are not talking now...
2:34 am
sprite
which means no arguments, but no solutions either
2:35 am
grannyrose
oh, good grief!! yeah, well, male ego/dignity and all that.
2:36 am
sprite
you got it, lol. And I am not playing middle man, at their request in therapy some months back.
2:36 am
grannyrose
give them both a shot of oestrogen, then they will want to talk it all through, like good sensible females...
2:36 am
sprite
lol! Mwah, the silent treatment is a female thing as well, I believe
2:36 am
grannyrose
and neither should you be middleman, sprite.
2:36 am
ChrissieDee
lol, and you'd have more family to go shopping with
2:37 am
sprite
lol Chrissie! Too true!
2:38 am
grannyrose
roflol....yeah sprite....what chrissie said.
2:39 am
ChrissieDee
Rose, i seem to recall at the beginning of the year that you were talking of retiring in August. Is this still an option? You have been in pain for so long and I am sure working is hampering your progress.
2:41 am
grannyrose
totally agree, chrissie, work is definitely an impediment to my retirement. i have to sort out this workcover thing first. i will have the resources to retire in august, but if i do, workcover will no longer pay for any treatment i may need.
2:43 am
ChrissieDee
Oh, I see. Yes, you definitely should get workcover to pay for all your treatment as the accident happened at work.
2:43 am
sprite
no need to let them off the hook that easily, I agree. They should stay responsible for the damage they caused.
2:44 am
ChrissieDee
...and work is an impediment to my retirement too :) ...never mind only 10 years to go
2:45 am
sprite
funny thing, how works seems to get in the way of our free time
2:45 am
grannyrose
either that, or pay me out.....with my hips and muscles i'm not sure that i can get back to my original work.
2:45 am
sprite
yeah that'd be a good solution as well.
2:46 am
grannyrose
chrissie, i'm closer than that. 2 years & 7 months to go for me....but i'm not counting....lol
2:46 am
ChrissieDee
If you even try to go back to your original work, standing and on the go for 12 hour shifts will destroy you
2:48 am
grannyrose
* snort * you think? and what do you think started the rot in the first place? but will workcover see that? nooooo
2:48 am
sprite
let that next independent specialist tell them :D
2:49 am
ChrissieDee
Then sue the pants off them
2:49 am
grannyrose
and that is next monday, sprite. the way i physically feel at the moment, he is going to get an eyeful.
2:49 am
sprite
very good. He should see how things really stand
2:50 am
grannyrose
lolol, want to put that another way? sprite
2:50 am
sprite
*giggles* Bad rose, you
2:51 am
ChrissieDee
I was going to say the same to you Rose - an eyeful!
2:52 am
sprite
things must be standing indeed if he gets an eyeful
2:54 am
grannyrose
brain just went into over-drive....
2:54 am
sprite
yeah I heard some men think with it
2:55 am
grannyrose
as ruru says.....tying fingers up

3:00 am
puglet
I think this is the smallest one I have ever seen
3:00 am
grannyrose
no pugs, but has been braxton's first birthday this week, and his mother's birthday is on monday.
3:00 am
sprite
not really, pugs. Am gonna get groceries and cook today. Tomorrow we will pick up Caya from her friends. And maybe knock the men's heads together a couple of times.
3:01 am
puglet
trouble with your men again Sprite
3:01 am
sprite
Pugs, I believe grids with less than 25 (or 20, not sure) words are rejected.
3:01 am
puglet
what did you get him rose
3:02 am
sprite
our son has been being an ass again, rob broke down and cried and cried, and now they are not talking...
3:02 am
sprite
how about you, pugs? Any good things planned for your weekend?
3:02 am
grannyrose
we have a couple of small things, just toys, but am thinking of putting some money in the card to go into his bank account.
3:02 am
puglet
oh no! how sad and for you too to have all that going on
3:03 am
sprite
nice gifts, rose!
3:03 am
sprite
yeah, it doesn't help, that is for sure, pugs. Stupid Tim, sigh.
3:03 am
puglet

3:04 am
puglet
thats nice Rose--is he walking good now
3:04 am
sprite
ah good, please let us know how the checkup goes.
3:04 am
grannyrose
almost, pugs, looks like a drunken sailor....
3:04 am
puglet
I will and Iam still having trouble with my darn foot
3:05 am
sprite
what is with your foot??
3:05 am
puglet
I think its so cute when they start walking
3:05 am
puglet
my left foot keeps going numb on me Sprite
3:06 am
puglet
Rose thinks it might be due to my back but its not hurting any longer
3:06 am
sprite
sounds like a nerve being pinched.
3:06 am
grannyrose
you just make sure you mention it to the doctor, pugs. have you written your list of things to ask/tell her?
3:06 am
puglet
so I will tell the doctor
3:06 am
sprite
yes, put it on the list
3:06 am
puglet
no not yet but I will
3:07 am
puglet
Iam really feeling good right now besides the foot thing and it dosent hurt me just shouldnt be that way
3:09 am
sprite
just let the doctor look into it. It might be nothing. But you don't want nerve damage in any way.
3:10 am
puglet
yes I will be sure to tell them
3:10 am
sprite
:) And will your insurance cover things now, pugs?
3:10 am
grannyrose
PUGS!!!! WRITE IT DOWN!! please.
3:10 am
puglet
do you know right now what you are cooking Sprite
3:11 am
puglet
yes Sprite, but I dont know how much
3:11 am
sprite
yeah am thinking of making indonesian rendang with rice
3:11 am
puglet
I did Rose
3:12 am
puglet
that sounds good. Last weekend Carol made me a stuff green pepper with a rice dish stuffed in it and it was so good
3:12 am
sprite
sounds very tasty!
3:13 am
puglet
it was! I miss you guys alot
3:14 am
sprite
miss you too, dear friend. But am happy you can manage work, and that you are sleeping more nowadays.
3:15 am
puglet
its getting in my babbling-lol
3:16 am
puglet
lol--yes it is!
3:19 am
sprite
but sleep is good, and work is necessary and in its own way very good for you as well. How are things going with the bigger responsibilities?
3:19 am
puglet
actually going very well beter now that time is passing
3:20 am
sprite
woot that is quickly, pugs. Am so darn proud of you!
3:21 am
puglet
next month I go before the judge to make it final and the first of the week his papers were sent to him
3:22 am
sprite
awesome, pugs. Freedom at last. But sad as well. I hope you will allow yourself to feel both sides.
3:23 am
puglet
your book has helped with alot of those feelings and I do feel good about it
3:23 am
sprite
am so glad! It really helps to change the way we think about things, doesn't it.
3:24 am
puglet
I feel bad I feel Iam hurting someone(him) but I cant help that
3:25 am
puglet
and its not that he cares about me but that I provide everything he needs
3:25 am
sprite
I think you will have to let go of that thought. He hurt you all those years, every day, in so many ways. You are not out to hurt him, you are just trying to make a better life for yourself. As you should.
3:25 am
grannyrose
but pugs you aren't hurting him. if he was really truthful about how he is feeling, he will tell you how relieved he is.
3:26 am
sprite
and I think he is trying to make you feel bad about it. So don't let him. He has it coming. He should count his blessings that you are not kicking him out yet.
3:26 am
grannyrose
or maybe he doesn't have any pride....i hadn't thought of that before.
3:27 am
puglet
I dont have any regrets now after all the bad feelings have left
3:27 am
sprite
very good, pugs. And don't you dare feel guilty. He is good at pulling your strings and throwing pity parties.
3:28 am
puglet
and those feeling were not from ending the marrige but the fear of the future and that has gone
3:28 am
sprite
good! *hugs*
3:29 am
puglet
yes he is Sprite and I have stood firm in doing what Iam doing
3:29 am
puglet
hugs right back to you and Rose as well
3:29 am
sprite
you have become so strong, pugs!
3:30 am
puglet
with the help of you and Rose
3:30 am
puglet
no one could want any better friends then you two that is for sure
3:30 am
sprite
sweetie, it is 100% your own doing. Each step of the way.
3:31 am
puglet
I so hope peace comes to your home Sprite. That stuff is so hard on you all
3:31 am
grannyrose
aww, pugs, please, take some credit, you have changed you, not us. nothing we said would change you, you changed you.
3:32 am
sprite
yeah. He is a handful, that one. I think I will make him go study abroad... in Australia... and make him live near rose :D
3:32 am
puglet
no Rose, you guys gave me strength and support along with my silent friend here and if not for that I would not be as Iam now
3:33 am
puglet
there you go Sprite!
3:33 am
sprite
pugs, all we can do is be there for you. You are the one who decides what is helpful to her, which steps she wants to take. So take the credit. You did it. You are still doing it. You rock.
3:33 am
grannyrose
well, we do need a house sitter for when we come over there, sprite....
3:34 am
sprite
*grins* No way, rose. No way. I wouldn't have a peaceful moment! What if he wrecks your house?
3:34 am
puglet
then Rose will get her a new home
3:35 am
puglet
I dont think Ruru would like me claiming part of his name-lol
3:36 am
sprite
sure he would, lol. Pugletrocks!
3:36 am
puglet
well that rock should be apart of each of our names
3:37 am
sprite
we could be the rockettes
3:37 am
puglet
there you go! Iam sure Ru would just love us as part of his group--lol
3:38 am
sprite
ruru is a good one
3:38 am
puglet
yes he seems to be
3:39 am
puglet
well friends its that time again--;( I got to shower and stuff--I love you guys and I hope all that is good befalls on you each

howdy gwen. Question for you ,gwen: Do you do book rebinding in your work?
10:11 am
Book Doctor Gwen
hi crossy! no, for rebinding you need a bookbinder. although i can do some minor repairs
10:11 am

lol, alleyn, I was just thinking the same thing this morning.. "yes, the hebrew alphabets! Twas just talking about that in the line up at the grocers!"

a rare book is a fine thing, but when it gets the the point where you are afraid to open it and read it that something must be done

back to rare books, sometimes repairing them can be the wrong thing to do. depends on the book and what the owner wants to do with it
10:17 am

I have too many windows going on my desk and these things will happen;)
10:17 am

I am sure you can guide them in the right direction
10:18 am
crosshair
personally, If I am unable to read it, and enjoy it, there is no sense in even having it, imho
10:19 am
Book Doctor Gwen
yes, but some people do buy books for investment, in which case, you do not want to repait it, because that will lower value
10:19 am
crosshair
yes, if you are just a reseller i can see that
10:20 am
crosshair
did you see in the news last month, gwen? The very first book ever written in the English language went up for auction
10:21 am
Book Doctor Gwen
however, if you want to be able to open it, read it, lend it to people to read, or otherwise show it off, and you don't care about investment value, then repairing is a good idea
10:21 am
Book Doctor Gwen
yep, saw that. drooled a bit LOL

jesdraggon

2:30 pm
jesdraggon
hmm. sailing thing?
2:30 pm
crosshair
horse latitudes, two belts of latitude where winds are light and the weather is hot and dry. They are located mostly over the oceans, at about 30° lat. in each hemisphere, and have a north-south range of about 5° as they follow the seasonal migration of the sun. The horse latitudes are associated with the subtropical anticyclone and the large-scale descent of air from high-altitude currents moving toward the poles. After reaching the earth's surface, this air spreads toward the equator as part of the prevailing trade winds or toward the poles as part of the westerlies. The belt in the Northern Hemisphere is sometimes called the "calms of Cancer" and that in the Southern Hemisphere the "calms of Capricorn." The term horse latitudes supposedly originates from the days when Spanish sailing vessels transported horses to the West Indies. Ships would often become becalmed in mid-ocean in this latitude, thus severely prolonging the voyage; the resulting water shortages would make it necessary for crews to throw their horses overboard.
2:31 pm
crosshair
there ya go:)
2:31 pm

thanks :)
2:32 pm

and tbh, they never threw them overboard. instead they were butcherd and the meat dried and cured with sea salt and placed in ships stores

Snail mail in Devon is painfully slower that anywhere else in the UK

If I had to hazard a guess, i would say our very own Canada Post has mislaid it.
3:49 pm
crosshair
I am off for a bit of a hike. back in two hours..poink
3:49 pm
jaxx7
Give it a little longer, it might turn up.
4:22 pm
Soodle
Just back from a bit of a hike. Actually, No. Just back from a hot n sweaty traipse with the dog. She stopped & sniffed every bloomin blade of grass. I'm happy to be home & unhealthily in front of the puter.
4:25 pm
jaxx7
Have you collapsed in a sweaty heap?
4:25 pm
Soodle
Hiya Jaxx. Maintain safe distance! I showered @ 8.00am, again @ 4.30 pm & I honk to high heavens again. Stay downwind of me!
4:27 pm
jaxx7
No worries. I can't smell you from here
4:28 pm
jaxx7
sadly, the social workers are back. I now have to decide if we should go for parental responsibility
4:29 pm
Soodle
God help us, Us Paddies are not built for extreme heat. My iPad shut down earlier, with a message telling me that it had overheated. Typical! I get the only menopausal iPad ever made.
4:29 pm
Soodle
And what does that entail, Jaxx?
4:30 pm
jaxx7
it separates Ashley from his siblings and their parents being chased by these hounds from Hell
4:32 pm
Soodle
But, do you & hubby get custody? I'm confused.
4:33 pm
jaxx7
it means we are the ones who give permissions and act as his parents. Not that they think that much of me. Apparently, Ashley is being deprived of his own space to sleep in.
4:36 pm
jaxx7
I think that is right. I am confused too as they have found a document from 12 months ago that wasn't given to them. They won't let us see it which is suspicious in itself. They say it shows a 'pattern'. So no more help for Ashley, he is the subject of an interim care order and his mother is chased all over the place to show she is unfit to be his mother.
4:39 pm
jaxx7
I am not sure that, at my age, I can cope with being totally responsible for a young child.
4:40 pm
Soodle
Oh goodness. Documents, patterns, bullshit. The issue here is the child. Either he is being cared for in a stable, drug free environment, or he is not. It's a no brainer. If his biological parents cant care for him, then a responsible adult must assume the task. Full stop.
4:42 pm
jaxx7
Mind you, he is here five days a week anyway and we feed, clothe, and protect him so perhaps he is in our custody already. I think they are after Julie myself
4:45 pm
jaxx7
She is very forthright and doesn't mince words. She puts the school backs up. This is all based on info from the school.
4:46 pm
jaxx7
So here we go again. Wish us luck.
4:46 pm
Soodle
Not good enough Jaxx. There are 7 days in a week.
4:47 pm
jaxx7
The regime would remain the same with Ash spending weekends with his parents.
4:55 pm
jaxx7
On top of this, my sister is going through a marriage crisis and keeps phoning me for advice and comfort. I could do with some of my own.
4:55 pm
sukee
Anyone here? And do you have a clue for de 6/33? Last word I need.

4:59 pm

5:00 pm
sukee

The heat has got to my brain. I can't remember any shakespeare.
5:00 pm

Only the do.
