I was almost asleep playing this when my phone rang. My friends' father is coding right now, so she needs moral support via text on her way to hospital.
12:49 am

12:50 am

Hugs to you and your friend and hope her father pulls through.

He is dying.

oh gosh.. so sorry ormal
12:53 am
Ormal
Yeah bugs, they have no choice but to drive. They are taking their kids too. :( Their kids are younger than mine.
12:55 am
Bugsaw
She needs to concentrate on driving alone. I have done that drive myself. I knocked 20 minutes off the regular time and had 20 minutes with my father.
12:56 am
Bugsaw
I hope she gets time too
12:57 am
Ormal
Her husband will be doing the driving.
12:58 am
Bugsaw
Keep texting with her then. I was concerned there would be even more people coding.
12:58 am
saanichcat
me too bugs
12:59 am
Ormal
Well, it's her FIL, his father, but he always drives them.
1:05 am

Bugsaw
I hope they have time to say goodbye but if not, I believe his soul is still there and can hear them.
1:12 am
Ormal
Lol, thanks bugsaw, I didn't have that yet.
1:16 am
Ormal
They didn't make it in time. I'll need to cook them some food tomorrow morning.

Sorry to read that, Ormal. Condolences.

Bugsaw
I am sorry Ormal but they can still say their goodbyes. It will help.
1:21 am
rururocks
That is tragic
1:22 am
Ormal
Yep. I'm okay, but I appreciate your sentiments. He's been sick a very long time. At least he's out of pain now. I will just see what I can do to help them.

2:18 am

he wasn't much pleased and kept trying to get his way. But I held firm and didn't give in to feelings of guilt. This mum is entitled to a few days a year without children, right?

phantom: creasote
2:29 am
grannyrose
i had to walk to one of the furtherest away theatres twice today. when i came back the second time, my knee was hurting, but i felt pretty good. so i couldn't understand when one of my co-workers kept urging me to sit down at the desk, and she would take over the care of my patient.
2:30 am
sprite
uh-oh rose, will you ever learn?
2:30 am
grannyrose
it wasn't until aout 30 minutes later in the tearoom, she told me i had gone as white as a sheet, and she thought i was going to faint.
2:30 am
puglet
that was nice of her--but bad bad Rose-lol
2:31 am
sprite
such well-trained patterns of repressing pain, sigh.
2:31 am
grannyrose
sprite, i have to keep on trying. i am documenting every thing in my diary, so the lawyer will have something to work from.
2:32 am
puglet
what good is all that if you are not here :(
2:32 am
sprite
I know, sweetie. Just worried about you. Last thing you need is fainting and then hurting yourself all over again.
2:33 am
grannyrose
ya think, sprite? i have taken endone today for the first time in 3 weeks. and magnesium may as well be jelly beans, the rate i'm swallowing them.
2:33 am
puglet
if you are going to faint wait until theres a nice doctor around to catch ya
2:33 am
sprite
magnesium can only do so much. Sorry you are in such pain, dear friend.
2:34 am
puglet
are you out of your other pain meds Rose
2:35 am
grannyrose
lolol, or a bed to fall into....plenty of those. only problem is...there is usually some lazy patient lying in it....lol....how dare they??
2:35 am
sprite
only one remedy then: all get out of bed and curtsy when rose passes by!
2:36 am
grannyrose
pugs still on the regular stuff. but i am trying to not take the strong stuff. i don't want to get so used to them, that they don't work. with all my drug allergies, i am very limited in what i can use.
2:37 am
grannyrose
*giggles* sprite
2:38 am
puglet
Rose, you are just going to have to watch and not overdo things--as hard as that is for you---be careful!
2:38 am
grannyrose
i know, i know...i think we have had this conversation before. i just had a flash of deja vu....lolol
2:39 am
puglet

2:39 am
sprite

2:40 am
grannyrose
oh, my, roflolol
2:41 am
puglet
well if you would do as YOU SHOULD we would not have to go over this every few weeks-lol
2:42 am
sprite
but in all seriousness, rose, I know you are doing what you have to do. Just, please, limit yourself so you don't do any extra damage. Nothing is worth revisiting the last year, my friend.
2:42 am
grannyrose
as long as that between takes, is it?? could have sworn it was within the last few days....lolol
2:42 am
puglet
nope! I have memory lost anyway and dont recall alot of things-lol

2:48 am
Trifioso

g'day trif, dear. poor you, sleepless again.
2:48 am
puglet
good luck Tri!
2:48 am
sprite
of course! Holding you in my thoughts and prayers. Best of luck to you. Remember they are lucky to be able to hire you.
2:49 am
grannyrose
trif, what sort of work?
2:51 am
Trifioso
same as what I am going now, instructional support at a school, but a GOOD school - I am talking a seriously HUGE step up from the one I work at now, and my boss wouldn't not be the worst tyrant bully to ever walk the earth.
2:52 am
sprite
that would be awesome, Trif. Don't worry, they will love you. And hire you.
2:52 am
grannyrose
is that the same as a remedial teacher?
2:53 am
Trifioso
sort of.
2:54 am
Trifioso
im actually not sure which position I am interviewing for today - there are five open. Some will be one on one aides for particular students, which is what I do now. Some will be support for lots of students who only need a little help. mostly taking notes, getting organized, test prep, etc.
2:54 am
sprite
do you help teachers do their job better?
2:54 am
Trifioso
I am happy with either job. And yes, I hope to help teachers do their job better
2:54 am
grannyrose
now that would be so challenging, trif. i so hope it all goes well for you, hun. you deserve it.
2:55 am
Trifioso
I have to be honest - the student I worked with this past year was so adorable, and I will miss her something fierce, but I really really dont want to have to go back to that horrible boss
2:55 am
sprite
can't make an omelet without breaking eggs, Trif. Go for it.
2:56 am
puglet
Its time for me to retreat, ladies--blessings to you all and bunches of hugs--so glad I got to catch you all
2:56 am
grannyrose
thank heavens you break the eggs, sprite. otherwise it would be a very crunchy omelet....
2:56 am
sprite
bye pugs, have a good day at work *hugs* and lots of love.
2:56 am
grannyrose
lovely to see you, pugs.
2:57 am

2:58 am
sprite
might be a whole new recipe, rose... crunchy omelet!
2:59 am
Trifioso

2:59 am
sprite
see? Great for your calcium levels as well.
3:01 am
grannyrose
what?? crunchy omelets??
3:01 am
sprite
yes. Just what the doctor ordered for healing up that knee.
3:07 am
Trifioso
count for the lone e in the fourth column please?
3:07 am
grannyrose
i'm actually thinking the pain was more tendon related. my physio thinks most of my discomfort is stemming from the muscle attachments, rather than the muscles themselves.
3:07 am
grannyrose
ess6/18
3:07 am
sprite
makes sense, rose. But you go eat those crunchy omelets nevertheless.
3:08 am
grannyrose
lolol...my clue is better than sprites...
3:08 am
grannyrose
*giggle* loves ya, hun
3:09 am
sprite
*insert crossed arms, tapping foot and drumming fingers*
3:09 am
grannyrose
*tickle, tickle. smoooooch*
3:11 am
sprite
any luck, Trif, or do you want more of a clue?
3:12 am
grannyrose
i could give her the last 3 letters if she likes...
3:12 am
sprite
as in crying veggie but dropping one consonant?
3:13 am
grannyrose
crying vegetable minus the negative response
3:14 am
sprite
or last three letters of crying veggie, switch vowels
3:15 am
grannyrose
*giggle* trif don't mind us, we are being very naughty.
3:15 am
sprite
rose is being naughty. I am just being helpful.
3:16 am
sprite
*smug smile and wide innocent eyes*
3:16 am

Trifioso

3:18 am

3:18 am
sprite
if I am not mistaken, it is some obsolete juridic phrase
3:18 am
Trifioso
anyway, thats nbt for me.....just checked on my interview frock, which I had washed last night and hung up in the bathroom to dry...it looked linty or something, so I am washing it again....
3:19 am

3:42 am
Lizlin
Hate it when I know I've entered a word and it disappears!
3:43 am
sprite
too true. And near the end you just don't see it anymore, because you know you entered it already.
3:45 am
grannyrose
i used to enter words tile by tile, nowadays if i see a word i enter it as soon as i see it.
3:45 am
zoozzoom
I am still doing that, Rose..lol
3:45 am
grannyrose
sometimes it takes several enters before i realise i am spelling it incorrectly.lol
3:46 am
sprite
I always start with a free for all, until the well dries out. And then I go tile by tile.
3:46 am
sprite
takes quite some talent to spell it incorrectly, rose
3:47 am
grannyrose
see, i have hidden talents!!

Just discovered that I haven't entered any tr words! Missed them completely!
3:55 am
zoozzoom
haha well no when you put it like that I am not either.
3:55 am
Lizlin
Can't say I love them either.
3:55 am
sprite
16 to find then, Liz, lolol
3:55 am
zoozzoom
I do tend to be a very jumpy type of person.
3:55 am
grannyrose
poor liz, and there are 16 tr words. happy hunting, hun
3:56 am
Lizlin
Word blind!
3:56 am
Lizlin
Getting there! Halfway!
3:57 am
sprite
go go goooo Liz! Try for longer words.
3:58 am
sprite
zooz, so am I. And with the darn ptsd, once the adrenaline starts to go, it takes ages to settle down again.
3:59 am
Lizlin
I guess a few with the 3 prefix then.
3:59 am
zoozzoom
I understand, Sprite. In fact i am seeing my doctor on Friday about me being over sensitive.
4:00 am
sprite
yes Liz. There is a 4-5-6-7 combo and a 4-6-8 sort-of combo.
4:00 am
sprite
smart move, zooz. Good luck :)
4:01 am
Lizlin
Have the 4 5 6 7. Looking for the 4 6 8
4:01 am
sprite
start with the journey and make them rhyme with the other biggies there.
4:02 am
zoozzoom
I seem to be getting a lot of anxiety again..I feel like telling myself to bloody man up and stop being such a stupid bloody whimp. But it does not work like that..lol
4:02 am
Lizlin
Have the journey. Looking further.
4:03 am
Lizlin
Zooz - you are what you are. It is being a man - that you are going to the doctor and dealing with the issue that concerns you.
4:03 am
zoozzoom
I seem to be slow today I only have 52 words found hahaha
4:03 am
sprite
oh zooz... dear man. The very very first thing you need to do is STOP beating yourself up about it. You are man enough, and not a whimp at all. Anxiety is a disorder, or dysfunction, or something like that. You cannot will it away.
4:03 am
Lizlin
Found the 7
4:04 am
Lizlin
Have them. Thanks. Even though the first time I entered the 8 it didn't work.
4:04 am
sprite
the journey kinda-combo goes 4-6-8, Liz
4:04 am
sprite
wooot well done Liz! Odd ones, huh.
4:05 am
Lizlin
Just missing 2 x tr now - but they'll have to wait. Time for dinner. Glad to have caught you all. Hugs :)
4:05 am
sprite
enjoy your dinner, Liz, and a hug for you and your husband.
4:05 am
zoozzoom
Yeah I know you are both right. But sometimes I look out and see everyone getting on with their lives. And I am still stagnant..lol..still back to the grid for me :-)
4:06 am
zoozzoom
*hugs back* enjoy your meal, Liz!
4:06 am
grannyrose
zooz, you are not, and never will be a bloody wimp.
4:06 am
sprite
zooz, you only see the outside of those people. Everyone has their cross to carry, trust me. And you are doing something about it, that is awesome. Be proud of yourself. See how far you have come since the black pit of depression.
4:07 am
grannyrose
later liz, hun
4:07 am
zoozzoom
Very true, Sprite, I am just having a little down moment Teehee!
4:08 am
zoozzoom
OK, Rose, omit the bloody then lol
4:08 am
sprite
we are all entitled to some of those, zooz :D
4:08 am
sprite
no zooz, you are a hero. Nothing less. It takes a damn load of courage to pull yourself out of despair. And you did that.
4:09 am
grannyrose
sorry for the delay in responding, zooz. just answered a phone call from my younger bro re my inheritance from my mother's estate. probate is finished. and i may well be able to retire.
4:09 am
sprite
whooooooooooohoooooo! Yayyyyyyyy! Yippeeeekayayyyyy!
4:09 am
zoozzoom
YaY for, Rose!
4:10 am
sprite
zooz, if the doctor should recommend medication, ask him/her about mirtazapine. That turned the tide for me. Might be very different for you, but worth asking about at least.
4:10 am
zoozzoom
Will you not wait untill the insurance pays out first, Rose, Otherwise you might have to foot all the doctor fees?
4:10 am
sprite
rose, that is so totally awesome. Am so happy for you. *hug*
4:11 am
grannyrose
LOLOL my friends...you amaze me. enough to pay off the investment property, enough to invest, enough to buy a new car, enough to start planning our 2 overseas tr4s.
4:11 am
sprite
yes, workcover needs to pick up the medical bills
4:11 am
grannyrose
zooz, i am seeing a lawyer on friday. i really need his advice.
4:12 am
zoozzoom
I am trying not to have any medication, Sprite, I am going to ask him is there anyone in a professional basis to talk to to help me through my mental state.
4:12 am
sprite
that is brilliant, zooz. Best way to go.
4:12 am
sprite
rose, smart move. Step by step, and not letting workcover off the hook too easily :)
4:13 am
zoozzoom
I would not let them off just because you have got some money coming to you.As you said before it has got to last you at LEAST 20 more years.
4:13 am
sprite
but you might want to write it down anyway, zooz. If talk does not help enough, this might give you support until you can do without again.
4:14 am
zoozzoom
Good point, Sprite, I will.
4:15 am
sprite
yeah. At least 20. Make that 40. And yayyy for the journeys, rose. I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to seeing you for real. And pugs.
4:16 am
sprite
dear friends, I am off for now. A big *hug* and lots of love to you. And to all, a blessed day and a peaceful night.
4:16 am
grannyrose
i am also going to make an appointment with our social services department. they have a completely unbiased advice service which i am eager to tap into.
4:17 am
zoozzoom
Toodle pips, Sprite.And thanks for the advice :-)
4:17 am
grannyrose
{{hugs}} and xxxxx to my dear friend. sprite i hope you have a wonderful day, my dear.
4:18 am
Dianne
Rose, how would the social service department be of help to you? About work cover?
4:19 am
grannyrose
dianne, they have a financial information service. as i said completely unbiased. they will let me know if i am eligible for a disability pension. if workcover will not pay me out for the last 2 1/2 years of my active working life.
4:21 am
Dianne
Rose, who is responsible for the hospital's neglect for not putting out the "slippery floor" sign. Who is liable for this?
4:21 am
zoozzoom
That is a very good idea, Rose!
4:23 am
grannyrose
dianne, the hospital is liable. through their workcover insurance. which is what is keeping me afloat at the moment. between centre link and my lawyers, i am hoping to get all to which i am entitled to receive.
4:23 am
zoozzoom
I need to get going. Nice to see you, ((Rose)) ((Dianne)) Toodle pips for now.
4:24 am
Dianne
They damn well should own up to the pain, suffering and god knows what else they have caused you.
4:24 am
grannyrose
lovely to see you, too, mate. hope your day is kind to you.
4:24 am
grannyrose
dianne, that is why i am seeing the lawyers.
4:25 am
Dianne
If this wee any other liability situation you would be getting over and above what your are "entitled to" becasue the pain and suffering aspect would be taken into consideration.
4:27 am
grannyrose
i think there is a great fight to make workcover realise i was working, with no problems when i fell. they are going to try and say it is my co-morbidities which are delaying my return to work. my argument is, my co-morbidities were not affecting me before i fell.
4:28 am
Dianne
They are just doing what they have been told to do, delay, aggravate, delay again, put up another road block, etc.. etc., etc.
4:29 am
rubyfoo
what time is it, pls? My babble has taken over the entire screen and I don't know how to make it smaller
4:29 am

yes, dianne. unfortunately for them....i am going to be ready for whatever tactics they want to pursue.
4:29 am

4:30 am
rubyfoo
This has been the worst morning; this is the first time I've been able to sit down! I am frazzled
4:30 am
Dianne
or you Rose. Don't let them get the better of you. You were in good working shape before this happened and you have tried your very best to get back to that working shape. The hospital is responsible and they need to own up once and for all.
4:30 am
grannyrose
*babble*

Time to refuel
7:44 am
crosshair
Crossy never just "refuels" Brekkies is an event. It is creating a taste sensation using the freshest and most perfect ingredients. it is the one time the family sits together and shares with each other the goings on for the day. The smells; bacon, fresh coffee/tea, bread or biscuits hot out of the oven, the aroma of home made apple jelly and fresh squeezed ice cold orange juice that awakens all your senses as you drink it and drives the last of the night-time fuzziness away. Breakfast is almost a religion for crossy:)

11:08 am
dianedecoder
;-)
11:08 am
MLFAN17
lol diane did you need a clue or stats?
11:08 am
dianedecoder
Hi zooz
11:08 am
zoozzoom
I do like your emblem, Diane.Is it a local one?
11:08 am
dianedecoder
No, thanks anyway, MLF .... I never ask for clues
11:09 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Diane :-)
11:09 am
dianedecoder
Yes zooz.... it is the Alberta coat of arms.
11:09 am
MLFAN17
oh ok diane.. i know that icon is an emblem but when you look at it from a distance on this page it looks like an upside down hamburger to me
11:10 am
dianedecoder
It represents the grain fields, the prairies, then the foothills, leading up to the Rocky Mountains.
11:10 am
dianedecoder
You must be hungry, MLF !!
11:10 am
MLFAN17
that is so cool
11:12 am
zoozzoom
It is a nice one. Our local flag too is pretty much self explanatory.
11:12 am
MLFAN17
actually diane lol i had sloppy joe's already
11:13 am

Eeww that does not sound appealing, Mlf.

11:14 am
zoozzoom
I do like a good cooked breakfast type of meal too.But not greasy & sloppy. Yuck.
11:14 am
dianedecoder
There is a fancier one but I prefer this simple one. The cross at the top is St George's Cross, an allusion to the arms of the Hudson's Bay Company, which once controlled what is now Alberta.
11:15 am
MLFAN17
i have co 9 and at 9 what does the other 9 begin with?
11:16 am
dianedecoder

MLFAN17
i dont know what those are?
11:22 am
dianedecoder
if you were a cabinet maker, it goes along with tenon ( the root word, that is ) Google the word "tenon" and you'll come up with a bunch of ideas.
11:23 am
HarryHood
ty diane - I had the 7/8 of that, but that gave me another 8/9
11:23 am

1:21 pm
cybernan
yes - got it -- why do people have to make the english language more complicated than it is already?
1:22 pm
cybernan
such teeny little nuances in meaning that it really doesn't make much difference!
1:23 pm

I discovered this past week during my daughters visit that she has lost the ability to verbally comunicate -- and she is not young (has grown children). She spent most of her time here on her tablet - just as her children do. Makes one wonder why they come if they are not here to visit.
1:41 pm
MollyL
I'm all for that Nan. Maybe people will once again go to the tedious trouble of spelling out YOU instead of using U
1:42 pm
MollyL
Personally, I find it rude to be visiting with someone and be glued to your electronic device.

Hey, the English language incorporates all the people who have defeated this green and pleasant land thai is now being covered in concrete. The US have added their share of words while retaining a purer form of English from the 18th century. technology has removed the need for the young to communicate verbally when all they have to do is press a button. Something that has taken thousands of years to evolve will be useless within a generation.
1:42 pm
cybernan
me too, molly -- but figured it wasn't worth the battle that such a comment would initiate
1:43 pm
MollyL
I can appreciate that Nan.
1:43 pm

qajaq is being added to the official Scrabble Dictionary. For when you have Q and a blank and no U.
10:13 pm
dcseain
hi, phaeton and penquis
10:21 pm
MollyL
Seain, you must have read the same article that I read. This caught my attention..."One of the new Canadian words creating excitement in hardcore Scrabble circles — “quinzhee,†a shelter made by hollowing out a pile of settled snow — could give a player a total of 401 points (if it is played in the top row of the board, ending on the top right square, through a previously played letter U.)"
10:22 pm
dcseain
Though, that would require adding ZHEE to QUIN, as that's an 8-letter word.
10:22 pm
dcseain
i heard about it on the radio this AM and just shared the article from a friend on FB
10:23 pm
MollyL
Well, as it says, you would have to play it through an already played U
10:24 pm
dcseain
ah! duh, that makes sense. or a previously played other letter depending on what one is holding.
10:25 pm
