*hugs rose* Hello darling, how are you today?
2:27 am
grannyrose
doing well. it is father's day here. two of don's three remembered, and my youngest also. don was so pleased.
2:28 am
grannyrose
and you, sweetheart. have you have a good, bad, or indifferent night?
2:28 am
sprite
aw that is good. Tell him Happy Father's day from me as well :)
2:28 am
sprite
rather bad, alas. Ugly dreams. Am dead beat.
2:28 am
grannyrose
don says, ohhh, thank-you
2:29 am
grannyrose
is today going to be busy for you? or can you relax and recover?
2:30 am
sprite
am making it a slow day. Got dishes to wash, dog to walk and laundry to do. I might ask one of the kids to do the dog.
2:31 am
grannyrose
we have spent this afternoon watching a down-load don did of robin williams in the actors studio. it was hilarious. it took nearly 15 minutes before the compere could ask his first question.
2:31 am
sprite
roflol that is so wonderful!
2:31 am
grannyrose
sounds like a good plan, sprite. and take your time to do the dishes.
2:31 am
grannyrose
have you seen that particular episode?
2:31 am
sprite
yes, I did the cooking last night so it isn't a mess, thank God.
2:32 am
grannyrose
strange that! when the woman does the cooking the me4 is less.
2:33 am
sprite
because we clean what we use, throw away the wrappers and stow away the herbs etc after use.
2:33 am
grannyrose
what a lovely evening/morning yesterday when we all were he4. it was such fun.
2:33 am
sprite
our men, being male, focus on preparing the food and go blind for what happens around them.
2:34 am
sprite
wasn't it :D I was so happy our pug was safe and sound. Can't wait to hear the news.
2:34 am
grannyrose
lolol, my de4 old nanna always said...a good cook cleans up after themself.
2:35 am
grannyrose
you and me both, sprite.
2:35 am
sprite
well, most men's brains simply are not wired that way. They see what they focus on and not what is around that. While female brains focus less and see more around them.
2:36 am
grannyrose
* giggle * we even had ruby....what a treat! oh and worzel!!
2:36 am
sprite
just dear joso and crossy missing
2:36 am
grannyrose
and, and, and we had pink...hadn't seen her in a trillion years.
2:37 am
sprite
same. Pink, and Liz, and zooz. It was a good company.
2:37 am
grannyrose
with sir joso being so house-trained nowadays, and crossy in school...it might be a while before they will be he4 at the sa4 time as us again.
2:38 am
sprite
yes. Can't blame them for wanting to sleep, grin
2:38 am
grannyrose
how rude!! babble is miles more important than sleep....lol
2:41 am
grannyrose
hun, have had to re-start the magnesium tabs. overnight cramps again, and burn-ups. the half infusion isn't lasting the full week. i'm going to ask cardiologist on tuesday if i could have the full dose.
2:42 am
sprite
it is worth trying, if the cardiologist gives you the green light. Maybe our bodies burn up magnesium much faster than other people's bodies?
2:42 am
gapeach
Morning all. May I please have a clue for re5-10 the 1st Thanks much.
2:43 am
sprite
hi peach :)
2:43 am
grannyrose

2:43 am
gapeach
Hi there sprite. How you doing?
2:43 am

ugh, no need to rub the salt in sprite...
2:50 am

2:50 am
grannyrose
i am so sorry, sprite. * grovelling, kissing toes*
2:51 am
sprite
That tickles!
2:51 am
grannyrose
* blows raspberries on sprites soles*
2:52 am
grannyrose
sorry, hun...should i trim the moustache??
2:52 am
sprite
omg that is evil!
2:52 am
grannyrose
not as evil as raspberries on the tummy...lolol....come he4 you...
2:53 am
sprite
am laughing so hard here!
2:53 am
grannyrose
*giggle* my job is done...i have blown the nasty dreams away....
2:54 am
sprite
sure did :D
2:55 am
sprite
just realised it has been ages since we had 'toea' in a grid. And 'etna' too, though not as long. Funny, that.
2:56 am
grannyrose
bite your tongue, or in this case, fingers. evil woman!! i always miss those wretched words...
2:57 am
sprite
I have given up spotting them a long time ago. I just enter them in every grid.
2:59 am
grannyrose
we really need jillibus back on-line to give us the heads up
3:00 am
sprite
so true. Our dear jilli.
3:00 am
grannyrose
i hope the book is worth it. hmmm must email her ....i think i owe her one.
3:00 am
sprite
which book?
3:01 am
grannyrose
she's writing a book about great danes.
3:01 am
sprite
oh wow. She is so multitalented, our jilli.
3:03 am
grannyrose
one of her loves, sprite
3:03 am
sprite
I know. She also made an amazing buste of one of them, have you ever seen it on her icon?
3:04 am
grannyrose
yes, i did sprite.
3:04 am
sprite
lovely, isn't it
3:05 am
grannyrose
i could never aspire to such a thing.
3:05 am
sprite
I love that woman. So active still at her age, and such an inspiration.
3:12 am
grannyrose
loverly grid, sprite? i enjoyed it, anyway. not too many weird words...
3:12 am
sprite
yes, it is indeed. Flying through it.
3:19 am
sprite
I'd say a toadame is a lady to4.
3:19 am
grannyrose
yup, absolutely...put it in the dictionary
3:21 am
grannyrose
yay sprite....and so the dictionary grows...
3:22 am
sprite
I love it. So many great words collected already.
3:22 am
Lizlin
Good evening :)
3:22 am
grannyrose
*wonders* would ro4sot be the way home for a drunken person???
3:22 am
sprite
hi Liz :) *hug* for you and your husband.
3:22 am
grannyrose
g'day liz girl
3:22 am
Lizlin
Hugs to both of you.
3:23 am
sprite
how are you and yours, Liz?
3:24 am
Lizlin
We're well - busy day today - memorial service this afternoon, followed by a meeting. Just got home. It's cold and wet out but lovely indoors :)
3:24 am
Lizlin
Hoping you're both well.
3:24 am
Lizlin
Congrats, Sprite
3:24 am
sprite
memorial service? Did I miss some bad news, Liz?
3:25 am
Lizlin
No - it's a Jewish tradition - a year after someone dies. This was the father of a friend.
3:25 am
sprite
and welcome home, where you can leave all cold and damp behind you :)
3:25 am
sprite
ah ok. What a lovely tradition.
3:26 am
Lizlin
It's nice because the person is remembered by family and friends - a bit more distant from the grief.
3:27 am
Lizlin
It's actually a "public" unveiling of the gravestone and is called a "Stonesetting"
3:27 am
sprite
yes, and it means there is support for the nearest survivors on that day too. Which is a tough day, especially the first year. And some people actually think or say here: "It's been a YEAR! Aren't you over it by now?"
3:28 am
Lizlin
And for my friend, it corresponded with Aussie father's day, which made it particularly poignant for her
3:28 am
sprite
am glad she had the support of her friends and family today.
3:28 am
grannyrose
WTG SPRITE!!
3:29 am
Lizlin
Hmmm! Quick first 100 for me. Slowed down now.
3:29 am
grannyrose
liz girl...so many beautiful ceremonies the christians left behind.
3:30 am
sprite
yeah it is a friendly grid today
3:30 am
grannyrose
good grief, sprite...i hope they don't say that.
3:31 am
sprite
I have to be off. A big *hug* to you both, and to your husband too, Liz. And one extra for Rose, cuz I have the feeling you need one :)
To all, a blessed day and a peaceful night.
3:31 am
grannyrose
enjoy your day, sprite. rest...and recover...xoxox
3:31 am
Lizlin
Hugs to you too Sprite - and an extra one for Rose.
3:31 am
Lizlin
Enjoy your day.
3:32 am
Lizlin
Have you had a tough day, rose?
3:32 am
sprite
some do, rose. Have heard it said about a friend of Cobi's and mine, who died way too young. People don't realise that you never really 'get over' losing someone very dear. It just gets more distant in time. Not necessarily easier though.
3:32 am
Lizlin
Sadly, I've also heard that said.
3:35 am
grannyrose
liz, not particularly. my dad died 12 years ago...i do still miss him terribly. don's dad died a year later. still struggling with all the paperwork from centrelink.
3:35 am
Lizlin
Thought it might be paperwork! Like I said before, these places love paper - hate trees!
3:36 am
Lizlin
My mum died 26 years ago - miss her very much.
3:36 am
grannyrose
* giggle * liz...so true
3:38 am
grannyrose
you are one of the lucky ones then, liz. i only miss the concept of a mother, not the person who was my biological mother.
3:39 am
grannyrose
only one of my brothers misses her...but then i think his brain was affected by his birth.
3:40 am
Lizlin
Yes, i know i was very lucky. I feel cheated losing her so early.
3:40 am
Lizlin
She was 61.
3:41 am
grannyrose
i feel cheated with losing my dad. he was 75..awww liz girl...way too early
3:41 am
Lizlin
For both of us - and for them.
3:42 am
grannyrose
{{hugs}} liz girl. you are on my heart, de4.
3:42 am
Lizlin
Same, Rose :)
3:48 am
rubyfoo
good morning
3:50 am
Lizlin
Hi and hugs, Ruby. Have you recovered from your visitor?
3:51 am
rubyfoo
yes, but my husband is sad and weepy but still has time to be nasty....
3:52 am
rubyfoo
My mother died before I came to France, and I miss her every day. But my father, who actually came to visit once when he was past 90 and with whom I wa very close, too, I think of, but not in the same,sad way I miss my mother
3:52 am
grannyrose
{{hugs}} ruby...please my de4...try and stand back...it is not your problem, de4.
3:52 am
Lizlin
It's tough for you, Ruby - sad about the nastiness but it's not down to you.
3:53 am
rubyfoo
This morning, just after he got finished telling me how much he loves e, he called me a lying b***h because I (gently) reminded him that he hadn't filled the birdfeeder.
3:53 am
grannyrose
burt's perspective is not your perspective...
3:53 am
Lizlin
My dad only died 4 years ago - I also miss him but not in the same way, which is strange because in many respects I was a "daddy's girl".
3:54 am
rubyfoo
me, too, liz. I was like the son he never had, did all the sports things with him. But my mother was my best friend. I was very lucky!
3:54 am
Lizlin
Mum became a best friend the more adult I became.
3:55 am
rubyfoo
same with me.
3:55 am
Lizlin
I'd've loved her to have met my hubby.
3:57 am
Lizlin
Taking a break. Hugs and have a good day. Rose, enjoy your evening :)
3:57 am
grannyrose
you two are so fortunate. my mother was a narcissistic parent.
3:57 am
grannyrose
thanx, liz girl. enjoy your eveniong.
3:58 am
grannyrose
ugh * evening *
3:58 am
rubyfoo
it makes a huge difference in your whole life. Burt's mother was passive-aggressive and he learned that behavior from her.
4:01 am
rubyfoo
how did you turn out to be so loving, rose?
4:07 am
grannyrose
ruby, my de4.....i decided very early on...not to be ever like my mother.
4:07 am
rubyfoo
that must have been very difficult but "brava" to Rosie for accomplishing it. Most don'tt
4:07 am
grannyrose
to this day...for me to wear a skirt or a dress....it has to be a major event...
4:08 am
grannyrose
xoxox ruby...you are such a wonderful friend.
4:09 am
rubyfoo
but not suc a good wife....
4:12 am
grannyrose
awww ruby...you are a good wife...it is the male part which lacks the skills, de4.
4:13 am
rubyfoo
I certainly can't make him happy any more
4:13 am
grannyrose
ruby, love...it would appear no-one can make him happy.
4:14 am
rubyfoo
thank you, Rosie, but it's very hard to see him so sad and not be able to help in an honest way.
4:15 am
grannyrose
ruby, love....you know, in your heart...you have tried everything...it is not your fault, hun.
4:17 am
rubyfoo
to change this awful subject, did you see my nudging abut the dog/spider video (found it in google). At least I got him to laugh
4:18 am
grannyrose
no, ruby...didn't see it. and don found a video of a kitten and a statue of a cat...very funny.
4:19 am
rubyfoo
look for the spider/dog one. I laughed 'til I cried
4:21 am
grannyrose
ruby...speaking of laughing until you cry...please google robin williams in " the actors studio "...a must see
4:22 am
rubyfoo
you are a good fiend, rosie! Just wait 'ti you meet my pups!
4:22 am
grannyrose

We always think we are going to find a bargain.But my father finds it hard to walk and there are so many people there, he tends to just about look down to see where his feet are going and not enough attention on what is on the stalls..lol

and now it is time for an early morning Vrossy tidbit of the day!!... In the news I noticed mention of a fella who's puppy was not feeling well, so he had to take him to the vet. Poor thing was a tad listless and he was off his feed a tad which was a bit of a concern since great danes eat like horses. Anyways, they get the puppy in for x-rays and what do they find?... 47 socks!! The dog, over time had eaten 47 socks!! So they made a small incision and one at a time removed each one and now the pooch is doing fine and eating the owner, who now keeps his socks out of reach, out of house and home once again.
5:46 am

6:00 am
puglet
great Crossy and wont hurt your son at all. Is your wife enjoying it
6:01 am
crosshair
My beloved is enjoying it, but is hard at work wrapping her mind around schoolwork once again. You get rusty after 24 years, I know. last year it had been a 33 hiatus for me since I lad sat my but in a classroom
6:01 am
crosshair
33 year*
6:02 am
puglet
thats understandable. Are you two taking the same classes
6:02 am
crosshair
and you are right re: my son. Upgrading his skills will not hurt at all.. lazy slug that he is
6:03 am
crosshair
No, she is taking a computer course to start with followed by a math or two. I am taking a university writers craft course
6:04 am
puglet
maybe he will meet someone there and find a reason to do something with his life and get out on his own. Its nice you all are upgrading your life. Lots of luck to you all.
6:06 am
crosshair
yes, his compass needs a new direction. It is quite enjoyable and something the mrs and I should have done years ago, but life intervenes sometimes and we raised our son and saw him graduate high school first. Now it is our turn to do some things
6:06 am
puglet
Zoom is also back in school and not caring much for it but he's not quit and I also wish him the best as well. Not quiting is a big plus on anything
6:07 am
crosshair
ahh, very nice. i think he told me that he was taking some mathematics courses
6:08 am
puglet
yes he is and he's finding it boring --lol Thats so great Crossy that you and your wife can do this. I wish you both all the best

Every time I think I might try it, there is an accident :)
7:33 am
MLFAN17
cross i am so jealous. every year in Iowa they have a big send off of hot air balloons
7:33 am
MLFAN17
sukee no you are afraid of falling
7:34 am
crosshair
Just remember, to put your mind at ease that if the operator messes up, he is going down with you:)
7:34 am
sukee
Yes, that is it :)
7:34 am
sukee
It's actually coming closer.
7:35 am
MLFAN17
is it two ma 8's?
7:35 am
crosshair
I read somewhere that the skin of a fully inflated hot air balloon can hold 800 pounds of water weight in morning dew condensation alone. As it burns off, the operator must make several adjustments
7:36 am
MLFAN17
i saw on a program once tow peopel sitting on the outside of a hot air balloon toasting with champagne
7:37 am
crosshair
that would be a precarious perch!
7:37 am
sukee
OK, not CTV. Looks like the call numbers of a radio station.
7:37 am
MLFAN17
you couldnt pay me to do something like that. it even showed them climbing up to get to the top of it
7:37 am
sukee
If I went up, I would be sitting on the floor of the basket :)

After my last cancer I did bungee jumping, did the hot air balloon and flew in a bi-plane :)
7:39 am
crosshair

7:39 am
josephjames
the only trouble is the operater being there, i would think that would be awkward for romance
7:39 am
crosshair
ask him to turn around and look at the scenery for 15 minutes lol
7:39 am
MLFAN17
nice ride for an hour:)
7:40 am
MLFAN17
Bungee jumping.. NO thank you

Quote for the day: "My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky." Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams."

So true...good thing to learn. I'm having an inner battle today and am trying to do a lot of self-talk to deal with it. I will be successful.
10:45 am

One of the (very) few benefits of aging is that when we have a history of success we tend to believe in ourselves more and worry less.

10:57 am
MimiCat
The t-shirt I really want to make is one with the word "crap" on it with the red circle with the line drawn through it over the "crap." Since I've often said I've reached my crap quota for life, it would be appropriate.
10:57 am
MimiCat
Yes, Molly...to be concise as well as prophetic..an art.
10:58 am

Once you re-tune 8.1 to resemble XP, it's not bad.

MollyL
I don't like touch screen. I don't like fingerprints all over my screen.
1:24 pm
penquis

1:37 pm
rururocks
I have no Idea why it is in there.. it is really annoying
1:38 pm
MollyL
I have found that no matter what the system, you have to tailor it to your likes and dislikes. And you want annoying? Try the stupid charms bar in 8.1. And there is no way to disable it.
1:38 pm
Uneaixoise
what's it supposed to do?
1:38 pm
cybernan
speaking of preloaded crap -- anyone figured out how to get rid of optimum pro?
1:38 pm

Interesting... I have been using the Google Ad-block and Ad-Block Plus in conjunction with Stumble Upon and random web investigations for well over 6 years now. Up until the last year or two, the total ads blocked on a typical stumble Upon site has been 25-200, and accounts for banner ad, pop-up ads, as well as side-bar ads that vary every time you long on, depending on you internet surfing history. However, in the last 6 months I have seen the total of ads blocked per visit soar to over 500 junk ads per visit!! No wonder our computers bog down on us without ad protection!

Hi Crossy - that's quite a statistic!
6:58 pm
crosshair
I was just watching the number skyrocket here as ad-block was stopping them. I had never noticed till now how high they were getting!
6:59 pm
Lizlin
I had a go at removing all the ads around my fb page - succeeded! But went to the UK and by the time I came back, so had more ads, so I gave up!
6:59 pm
crosshair
you use chrome?
7:00 pm
Lizlin
I use a mac - use safari. Hubby uses start page and has no ads.
7:00 pm
crosshair
ahh ok then. I do not now what the ad block plug-in are for a mac
7:01 pm
Lizlin
It's not too bad though and I clean-up quite regularly.
7:01 pm
crosshair
I have never owned a mac. I like being able to open up the side of my rig and tear the guts out of them if needed:)
7:02 pm
Lizlin
We've been totally mac for about 3 years now - wouldn't go back.
7:02 pm

But if you're into the mechanics, I can understand what you're saying.

I've been on mac air now for about 4 years - can't imagine going back to a hard drive - so slow
7:03 pm

For example, had a cpu fan fail last month. Opened the side of the tower.. 30 seconds.. removed defective fan 1 minute,, went down to store got new fans.. cost 4 dollars time 5 minutes, put new fan in.. 1 minutes total down time less than 30 minutes and cost less that 10 bucks:)
7:04 pm
Lizlin
mac air was our last purchase before we travelled to Canada / Alaska last year - to download all the thousands of pics we took!
7:04 pm

yes, no moving parts often = less heat

I will make it my mission to see how long I can make this 4s last. it will all depend on battery degradation and storage capacity over time. They typicall lose 30% after 3 years
7:22 pm
IndiaJan

7:22 pm

The pros say do not just continually "top up" your phone. totally drain it at least once a week for optimum battery life
7:24 pm
IndiaJan
Yup..i dont purposely do that...it just happens
7:24 pm
crosshair

HI ALL. ANY CLUES FOR THE 8S? just trying now to do some grid.
10:39 pm
mkg
is anyone there to give clues? need clues for the 8s please.
10:44 pm
mkg
hi all. it says 75 players are on line. anyone of you have any clues for the 8s? i dont have any of them yet.
10:45 pm
harpjane
hi mkg, sorry I was multi-tasking
10:46 pm
harpjane
both ma8's are plurals. think when you're name is in lights, it's on a ma7, and noodle around from there
10:47 pm
harpjane
Then think if a raccoon was born without spots on his eyes, she might go to a shop and buy a ma6 from a ma7
10:48 pm
harpjane
for sc7, pluralize a yiddish word, think how you would spread cheese on your bagel
10:49 pm
mkg
jane got the name in lights place and it is a 7. no S nearby. also the raccoon ma**** is a 6 and plural a 7. sorry.
10:49 pm
mkg
sc is indeed an 8. ty.
10:50 pm
harpjane
the person the raccoon BUYS the ma from is also ma7
10:51 pm
harpjane
on the other one, add a double letter to the end
10:51 pm
mkg
hmmm will search. ty.
10:51 pm
harpjane
ma7 has a double vowell, ma 8 has a double consonant
10:51 pm
harpjane
take me seriously when i say noodle around.
10:52 pm
mkg
ty jane. got ma the raccoon one. looking for other. ty.
10:53 pm
mkg
the name in lights clue: i am trying but if i put the double vowel at the end then no S is near. so i am confused.
10:54 pm
harpjane
ok, so put a double consonant on one, and a double vowel on the other one.....
10:54 pm
mkg
got it! double cons. not double vowel. super great.
10:55 pm
harpjane
there IS one with a double consonant on the end. Really there is!
10:55 pm
mkg
the 7 has the double vowel and the 8 has double cons.
10:56 pm
harpjane
no, there is a 7 with a double vowel. it can't be pluralized
10:56 pm
harpjane
oh yah, what you just said....
10:57 pm
mkg
well got all the 8s so i am in good shape.
10:57 pm
harpjane
so do you have all the 8's now?
10:57 pm
mkg
only missing the C word for top row second c. any clues jane?
10:57 pm
mkg
got all 8s. ty jane.
10:57 pm
mkg
that second C on top line is stumping me.
10:58 pm
harpjane
I have it, lemme try to figure out which one it is
10:58 pm
