1:06 am

sprite

:( insomnia sucks

1:06 am

Lizlin

Hi Trif - sorry you can't sleep. Like Sprite says, that sucks

1:06 am

Trifioso

I will sleep later. thank goodness for babble!

1:07 am

Trifioso

there are worse things than a friendly babble in the middle of a quiet night

1:07 am

sprite

babble is a good thing :D

1:07 am

Lizlin

I think if I started playing babble in the middle of the night, I'd never get to sleep!

1:08 am

Lizlin

How was your night, Sprite?

1:08 am

Trifioso

I does work eventually, lizlin....i think its the quiet repetition of looking, maybe, or the reassurance of friends

1:09 am

Lizlin

Reassurance friends I can understand. But focussing on words would wake me!

1:09 am

sprite

just the fact that there is good company to be had, even in the middle of the night... that is great

1:10 am

Lizlin

That's very true.

1:10 am

sprite

my night was good. No horrible dreams and not waking up every 15 mins. Thanks :)
How are you and your husband doing, Liz?

1:10 am

Trifioso

great indeed

1:10 am

Lizlin

We're fine - he's deep into the house renovations.

1:11 am

Lizlin

That's good, Sprite.

1:12 am

sprite

good to hear. And nice, sounds like he has a good speed going.

1:12 am

saanichcat

I'm happy for you Sprite, for the better sleeeps

1:12 am

Trifioso

yes, that is good to hear sprite

1:13 am

torgone

Sleep would be good ..

1:13 am

Lizlin

He's pretty determined! He finished our bedroom and is now working on the dining room. Don't know what idiots built that - really poor workmanship.

1:13 am

Trifioso

1:14 am

saanichcat

hiya torg!

1:15 am

Lizlin

Little mess and little noise!

1:15 am

sprite

1:15 am

Lizlin

Mostly painting. The noisy stuff - the wooden frames etc. is all outside.

1:15 am

Trifioso

I dont know what that is, tor - explain?

1:17 am

torgone

Commercial vehicle resupplying the International Space Station .. Launched from the USA ..

1:18 am

Trifioso

1:19 am

torgone

Perfectly, apparently

1:19 am

sprite

that is good news.

1:19 am

Trifioso

so good to hear....MAN do I wish you and I lived closer! My sisters gave me two tickets to David Bowie Is...on Tuesday, and you would be so great to see it with, Torgone

1:21 am

torgone

Bowie would be a fun show ..

1:21 am

sprite

torg is checking time tables now

1:21 am

Trifioso

hahaha sprite

1:22 am

torgone

Unfortunately, I'm already booked for a trip to Victoria BC on Monday ..

1:23 am

Trifioso

well, whilst I will of course, miss you terribly, that sounds like a fantastic trip! have you been there before?

1:25 am

torgone

I haven't, but it looks like I may be going that way some more in the future ..

1:25 am

Trifioso

is this a business trip?

1:26 am

Lizlin

I love Victoria - great place. If you have time and like whales, there's a good trip to see the resident Orcas. There are 3 resident pods there.

1:26 am

torgone

Yep ..

1:26 am

Trifioso

that sounds great liz! one of my goals for the last half of my life is to really focus on travel....

1:26 am

Lizlin

Something we've started to do, Trif.

1:27 am

sprite

why wait until then, Trif? Go now :)

1:27 am

Trifioso

even if its local, I want to stop just working on the house weekends. that is important, of course, but I would like more balance

1:27 am

sprite

Liz traveled all the way to the netherlands :D

1:27 am

Trifioso

that is now, sprite

1:28 am

saanichcat

torg, there any many babblers in and around Victoria

1:28 am

lexi

Just me or no Lickety ??

1:28 am

sprite

Lizlin

To see you - it was worth it, sprite.

1:28 am

1:30 am

Trifioso

1:30 am

sprite

1:31 am

Trifioso

thanks lizlin

1:31 am

Lizlin

Bottom o is od 7, trif - more often with a de in front.

1:31 am

sprite

1:31 am

Lizlin

I hope you make that dream a reality, Sprite.

1:32 am

sprite

1:32 am

Trifioso

thanks friends! got the lower one....lets' see....

1:32 am

Trifioso

and the top one! nbt for me

1:32 am

sprite

it is purely a money issue, Liz. Who knows, if my book sells in america :D

1:33 am

Lizlin

WTG, trif

1:33 am

sprite

yay Trif!

1:33 am

Lizlin

That would be soooo good, sprite.

1:33 am

Trifioso

enable has no love for Yoda :)

1:33 am

sprite

yeah it would. *fingers crossed*

1:33 am

Lizlin

On all counts - hope your book sells. Looking forward to reading it too.

1:33 am

Lizlin

Also tried Yoda.

1:34 am

sprite

of course tried Yoda. Even though it has a capital. Because if an8 is valid, all bets are off.

1:35 am

Lizlin

Bet most people tried Yoda.

1:35 am

sprite

hehehe yeah I think so too

1:35 am

gremlinn

I refrained this time, heh

1:35 am

sprite

such self control!

1:36 am

gremlinn

Enable also doesn't have the compound word wo8

1:36 am

Trifioso

oh hey -speaking of books...I tutored a girl all last year in French. Two weeks ago her mom shows up at my door, GUSHING over Outlander, and pressing a copy into my hands, saying I just HAVE to read it...apparently she "thought of me" all through it, and just HAD to get me a copy. Okay. So I read it. Enjoyable enough, but steamy! Seriously- "50 Shades of Plaid" could be the subtitle. Slightly confused that this mom "thought of me" the whole time.....

1:37 am

Lizlin

lol!!!! No accounting for the way some people think!!

1:37 am

sprite

lol Trif! Wonderful series. And nothing wrong with a bit of steam. Lol @ 50 shades of plaid... and maybe she has a hidden crush on you.

1:38 am

grannyrose

cooee and g'day from me

1:38 am

sprite

or, more innocently: the protagonist is a very strong woman... and so are you...

1:38 am

sprite

hello rose *hugs* dear friend. How are you today?

1:38 am

Trifioso

maybe....or maybe she wishes I would just touch a rock and vanish?

1:38 am

Trifioso

hello rose!

1:39 am

Lizlin

Hi Rose

1:39 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} dear sprite. still cruising. another good night and day.

1:39 am

sprite

never, Trif

1:39 am

grannyrose

hello trif, and g'day liz girl

1:39 am

Lizlin

And also bye - don't take offence! Time for me to be out of here for a while. Hugs to all

1:39 am

sprite

oh am so glad, rose! How wonderful.

1:40 am

Lizlin

But good to read that first, Rose :)

1:40 am

Trifioso

good bye lovely lizlin

1:40 am

grannyrose

later liz xoxox

1:40 am

sprite

bye Liz *hugs* for you and yourh usband

1:41 am

grannyrose

i have had just a few muscle tremors in the back muscles, and no pain to speak of in my shins.

1:41 am

sprite

wow, that is progress

1:42 am

grannyrose

and i am still cold....whee!

1:43 am

sprite

awesome :) Lol I had hot flashes all evening (hormonal ones) and went to sleep with the ventilator on.

1:44 am

grannyrose

so this is the end of day 5. tomorrow is when things have been starting to fall down again. but i feel so good today, compared to the same time last week.

1:45 am

sprite

looks like it works longer and better every time

1:46 am

grannyrose

yeah, it would be difficult to differentiate between hot flushes and CSS symptoms. have you had your hormone levels checked?

1:46 am

Trifioso

what is CSS, if you don't mind me asking?

1:47 am

sprite

not really, rose, menopauze is not strange at my age, so I kind of take it as is.

1:47 am

grannyrose

central sensitivity syndrome, trif

1:47 am

Trifioso

ty

1:48 am

grannyrose

might be a good idea, sprite. that's when the penny dropped for me, that i was going through something other than menopause. the 'hot flushes' continued even when on HRT.

1:48 am

sprite

ok rose, will suggest it next time I have bloodwork done

1:50 am

grannyrose

trif, google CSS, hun. i was surprised at the correlation between the symptoms listed and what i was enduring.

1:50 am

Trifioso

absolutely

1:51 am

Trifioso

are the 8 and the 9 related?

1:51 am

Trifioso

i have the nine....

1:51 am

gremlinn

5:47 am

6:23 am

MimiCat

I'm really good, thanks. Had a lovely afternoon with my daughter yesterday. She brought me the most thoughtful little gift just for no reason at all....those are the best kind.

6:23 am

grannyrose

that is lovely, mimi. what did she bring you?

6:25 am

MimiCat

Disneyland used to have these little fiber optic wands that changed colors but the discontinued them. The last couple of times she went she couldn't find them and she knew I really wanted one. She found something very similar which is actually better because it's free-standing. Lights up, changes colors, very cheerful.

6:26 am

grannyrose

lol...i bet it gives you at lot of happiness. as you say...the thought behind the gift is what touches us the most. i hope you gave her a big hug.

6:27 am

MimiCat

I had a few things for her as well. I see things I know she'll like and save them until she comes over and then load her down!

6:28 am

MimiCat

For so long I had no money and couldn't do anything for myself or anyone else. It feels good to be able to show thoughtfulness again.

6:28 am

grannyrose

how perfectly lovely to see such a relationship between you two. i am so envious...

6:29 am

MimiCat

She wasn't talking to me for a couple of years....it's good to have her back and have our relationship on the mend. She's confiding in me again, which is what I really hoped for.

6:31 am

grannyrose

that gives me hope for my son and me. he hasn't spoken to me for nearly ten years.

6:32 am

MimiCat

Isn't that just the most painful thing in the world? My middle child (son) isn't speaking to me currently and that has been going on for over a year....I have no idea why either...I didn't do anything. All three of mine have been very harsh with me and I honestly do not think I deserved it. I love them, of course, but not the same way I used to. My love isn't unconditional anymore because they hurt me so terribly. I was actually suicidal there for awhile.

6:33 am

MimiCat

The only good thing about it is that nothing gets to me anymore because compared to that, I can handle anything.

6:35 am

grannyrose

oh, darling....we could be twins. i have tried to understand what is hurting my son....the other two can shed no light either. it is almost as if he thinks it was my fault that the ex was so cruel and abusive. the sad thing is, when i see him at a family do, i think, who is that stranger?

6:37 am

MimiCat

I was always so close to my daughter, especially, and for her to turn away from me so completely was devastating to me...and after a heart attack! One day they'll realize what they did and be sorry...I hope it's before I die so they can make amends.

6:37 am

MimiCat

For their sake, not mine.

6:38 am

MimiCat

Yes, we could be twins! My other two don't understand my middle child either!

6:42 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} mimi. my sentiments exactly. i have been newly diagnosed with heart failure. i don't want my son to have to carry a guilt because he let me die, without making any moves to reconciliation.

6:44 am

MimiCat

I was raised by my grandmother and she died when I was just 22. I was never mean to her but I was neglectful...she always encouraged me to go and do and be. I never got to tell her how much I appreciate her. I'll carry that regret all my life.

6:46 am

grannyrose

* rueful grin * my dad died before i could tell him i had forgiven him for a childhood abuse. i truly regret that.

6:46 am

MimiCat

OK..here's a woo woo kind of story for you. I'm not religious but am very spiritual. After my mother died, I could "feel" her with me many times. That went on for years and sometimes it was almost like if I turned around really quickly, I'd see her, but that never happened..just the feeling. Then one day I was in the shower and VERY pregnant with my first child and I "felt" her kiss me on the cheek and leave. I never felt her with me again. I guess she felt I was OK now and went on to fulfill her spiritual destiny. I wish my children could have known her.

6:50 am

grannyrose

:-) lovely, mimi. i had a connection with my maternal grandmother. she came to me about 2 weeks after my first born. it had been a tough 2 weeks. i was very tired, and had a bad headache, and there was the little wretch yelling his lungs out...again. grand-ma told me, you have to get up...no-one else is going to care for your baby. she was standing right there beside the bed. i could see her as clear as day. i got up, took care of my son, and fell deeply asleep, as he did also.

6:51 am

MimiCat

That's fantastic, rose! I've never met anyone who has had this type of experience before. We really are twins! I'm so looking forward to you coming to the U.S.!!

6:52 am

MimiCat

All this will be in my book. It's going to be quite a read, I think.

6:52 am

grannyrose

* lolol * it's so nice to meet you too...it's not something you bring up in everyday conversation, is it?

6:53 am

Lizlin

Hi all - hi properly this time, Rose :)

6:53 am

OK....word issue. If you can "retard," why can't you "tard" in the first place?!!

6:54 am

6:54 am

Lizlin

What's this about heart failure, Rose?

6:54 am

MimiCat

Did you hear that I got my settlement award from Social Security?

6:55 am

Lizlin

No I hadn't heard that either - seem to have missed out on quite a bit of news :(

6:55 am

MimiCat

Congrats on the coming baby!

6:55 am

Lizlin

But I'm really happy for that.

6:56 am

grannyrose

liz, i have diastole failure. which means my heart is not pushing the blood through the ventricles as much as it should...hence the build up of fluid in my extremities.

6:56 am

crosshair

You must be with family while the chance is there. My mum and da divorced in 1972. I was 8 and it was the middle of the night when she left. I got a kiss and a long hug... I remember the smell of her hair spray of all things... and she was gone. it was a taboo subject and never brought up or spoken of during my childhood. One day in 1991 the U.K police tracked me down through my drivers permit to tell our family that mum had died of cancer the week before. it seems that privacy laws prevented this contact until after she had passed. All I have are the memories of an 8 year old boy, the knowledge of knitting which she taught me, and a handful of faded kodachorme pictures and ghostly images in my mind. ... Perhaps let your kids read that.. because sometimes, way too soon, it is too late. ok enough of that crapola! let's hunt some words

*Mixes a girlie drink for Pen*

I've been playing with the an for a while but can't seem to figure it out

11:51 am

MollyL

The word list seems to have memory problems lately.

11:52 am

rubyfoo

getting old like me

11:52 am

saanichcat

maybe babble didn't like all the an bush puns

11:52 am

rururocks

I like to wrap up on even numbers or finish so it's weird when you come back and you have to figure out which words popped out

11:52 am

MollyL

Ruby, do a Google search on "constellation an"

11:52 am

penquis

an 9.....an + Data on Star Trek was an an***id, mechanical person + a sit com is a co***y + vowel....

11:53 am

MollyL

The only way to fix the dropped words thing is to copy your word list before you log out.

11:53 am

rururocks

my clue should get her over the hump nan :D

11:54 am

cybernan

an 9: word that means plus + largest city in Italy + british father

Exactly Ruby.

12:08 pm

rubyfoo

hi pini

12:08 pm

Pinikula

I "know" of them, Ruby, but never experienced them...I grew up with the rotary dial :)

12:09 pm

rubyfoo

my first job, when I was 16, was as a switchboard operator, just like lily tomlin

12:09 pm

Pinikula

I bet that was an experience!

12:09 pm

rubyfoo

I loved it and was paid $1/hour

12:10 pm

Pinikula

ONE whole dollar? an hour? WOW!

12:10 pm

rubyfoo

that was the last year of $1 minimum wage. The next year I made $60/wk in the summer

12:11 pm

cybernan

there were still switchboard operators when I was old enough to be making phone calls -- we were on a 4 party line too

12:11 pm

cybernan

* sort of puts network privacy in perspective!

12:12 pm

Pinikula

I remember my grandparents had phone numbers that started with "Emerson ###"...never understood how that worked.

12:12 pm

rururocks

12:12 pm

Pinikula

12:13 pm

12:17 pm

Pinikula

I still have a wall-mounted phone that looks like old crank phone, but has a rotary looking dial on it that is actually push-button (wow, hope that image works)...it's a fun phone the kids always loved to play with.

12:17 pm

MollyL

I use the rotary phone when the power goes out. All the other land lines are wireless and require electricity.

12:18 pm

rubyfoo

We have phones all over the house (no portables) but only one of them works when we lose power. Very weird system

12:18 pm

rururocks
