12:24 am

pretty much any. i'm on a laptop so about 250 pieces is about my limit.
12:25 am
saanichcat
oh, not the cardboard ones then?
12:26 am
grannyrose
no where to do them. i have several, some up to 4,000 pieces. i like the scenery ones best.
12:27 am
grannyrose
BUT....once all the reno's are done, i will have a room where i could sit and do them as much as i like.
12:27 am
saanichcat
I like those big cardboard ones…but so does my cat

12:29 am
grannyrose
my dad was so funny. as kids we would all do a huge jigsaw together. everyone stopping to put a piece or 2 in. my dad would quietly pocket a piece, and wait to see the fun when we were searching for it.
12:30 am
grannyrose
of course we never missed it until the jigsaw was nearly finished. he was such a wag.
12:30 am
saanichcat

morning all
2:18 am

{{hugs}} my dear sprite. how are you this morning?
2:19 am
sprite
*hugs rose* Hello dear friend. Am ok. Back hurts and am tired, but I think that is residue of the stupid flu. It will pass. How are you today?
2:21 am
grannyrose
had a quiet day....i can't seem to move on with decisions at the moment. i think it's because of the conciliation hearing
2:23 am
grannyrose
union rep called. she has spoken to lawyer who thinks i will get a settlement on the day. whether it will be enough i don't know.
2:23 am
sprite
yes, I think so too, rose. I know that feeling. I hope you can be gentle with yourself and just breathe through the whole thing. I think it is normal to feel like this. It is like a huge exam but worse.
2:24 am
sprite
you can always say no, rose. Let's see what they come up with. And let your lawyer and rep make the decisions.
2:24 am
grannyrose
:-) there are so many little things i could be doing, but making the decision to do them is beyond me.
2:25 am
sprite
yes exactly. You find yourself staring into space instead of moving and doing. Or doing something that definitely does NOT have any priority... and take hours over it.
2:26 am
grannyrose
as i told the rep i am missing 2 1/2 years of income, i will have on-going costs for docs, and therapies. not to mention the 'pain and suffering'
2:27 am
sprite
yes, they will have to come up with a substantial offer, otherwise you'll see them in court.
2:28 am
grannyrose
yup....we will see what the lawyer says anyway.it will be good to have it all over.
2:29 am
sprite
*hugs* it is a tough road to travel, my friend. But you will make it. Don't settle for too little just to have it over with, you will hate yourself later on.
2:29 am
grannyrose

2:36 am
grannyrose
sweetie, how are the new meds going?
2:37 am
sprite
still wrestling with the loperamid. The other one goes pretty well.
2:37 am
grannyrose
loperamid not helping?
2:38 am
sprite
if I take one a day, I become obstipated. If I take one every other day, I still have bouts of diarrhea.
2:39 am
grannyrose
ugh, you poor love.
2:41 am
sprite
yeah it is a bit of a struggle. Had physical therapy again yesterday and focusing on that whole pelvic area brings me lots of bad dreams. Not surprising, but pffff such a drag.
2:42 am
grannyrose
as it would, hun.
2:43 am
sprite
sometimes I wish I could hide in a little corner, with a soft blanket, and only reappear when it is all over :) Sounds familiar?
2:43 am
grannyrose
:-) it sure does.
2:44 am
sprite
and instead, we breathe, straighten our spines and face the music. We are freakin' heroes.
2:45 am
grannyrose
*giggle* my new saying....getting old isn't for cowards...
2:45 am
sprite
lol it is something Haz said once: "Aging is not for the timid." Brilliant quote. I still use it.
2:46 am
grannyrose
yeah, i like that too.
2:47 am
sprite
well, I am happy that I have finally learned to be more gentle with myself. I recognise that I am struggling and I allow myself to take it easy, leave things undone, ask for help a little earlier. Progress!
2:48 am
sprite
fireflies. That was over before it really started, wasn't it.
2:49 am
grannyrose
good for you, hun. i still have problems with being so darn independent. but i am mindful that stress in any shape or form, brings on don's vomiting migraines.
2:49 am
grannyrose
WTG SPRITE!!!
2:50 am
sprite
we'll get there, rose, step by step. And without stressing our spouses too much. *hugs* for you, and I hope you will sleep well tonight. Not too much cramps etc.
2:50 am

and to you all out there, a blessed day and a peaceful night. In any order.

5:25 pm
Anniebrook
congrats, and my best wishes to Frank..he is still in my prayers every night
5:26 pm
uusue2
thank you! It will still be a long road to the end of chemo, and we don't really know if it's working yet, probably will have a scan after the next cycle
5:27 pm
Anniebrook
I hope he is able to tolerate this round of chemo..It is a trip worth taking and will be successful.
5:28 pm
uusue2
I hope so too! It's hard on him but so far he is coping.
5:28 pm
Anniebrook
Good to hear.

It's more like Spaceship Babble - not quite big enough to be a planet.
5:59 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
projet, french word for toy, phantom
6:03 pm
gremlinn
Seems to have a different meaning too - a plan or proposed design (which is what I thought it meant, being somewhat like "project")
6:04 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
oh, cripe, maybe it does mean project. i'm just a bookdealer, not a french translator 8-)
6:05 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
still a phantom, whatever it is. i need one more P
6:05 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
(three more, actually, but only one from the bottom P)
6:05 pm
gremlinn
French for toy seems to be "jouet" - it has letters in common. :)
6:07 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
somewhere areound here i have abook in french about toys. now that you mention jouet, i think both of those words are in the title.

Bugsaw
Hello friends. Just want to lament that so many of us are afraid to chat in the chog any more. You are still all my friends and I hope you are all well.
10:19 pm
rururocks
afraid of what?
10:20 pm
Bugsaw
hurt feeling and getting shut down, I think ruru. Don't you find it odd that there is so little chat when there used to always be visiting and sharing of stories?
10:20 pm
Bugsaw
I feel it too
10:20 pm
rururocks
no. I don't see that. .it's always pretty quiet around her about this time
10:20 pm
Bugsaw
oh crap...........
10:21 pm
rururocks
around here that is
10:21 pm
Bugsaw
I hope that is true because I often come here at this timr
10:22 pm
rururocks
I think it's late for a lot of players at this time
10:22 pm
rururocks
Although there are some players who SHOULD get shut down.. just sayin' :D
10:22 pm
Bugsaw
Oh I hope that is true. I feel better now.
10:23 pm
Bugsaw
Just agreeing with you but we probably are thinking of different people. ;)
10:24 pm
rururocks
I think so.. you could yell olley olley oxen free
10:24 pm
Bugsaw
So, are you doing better now that things have settled down with the earthquake tremors? Frightening experiences can take hold if you let them.
10:24 pm
rururocks
see if that rousts any abused and shut down players
10:25 pm
rururocks
no.. no more quakes lately.. thankfully
10:25 pm
Bugsaw
We never did that in Canada and have no idea what it means. I only know it has to do with Hide & Seek
10:25 pm
rururocks
we must have had a hundred aftershocks though
10:25 pm
rururocks
I think that's when the person seeking the people gives up after they've found some one
10:26 pm
Kizah
I'm not here a lot anymore. May be for the next few days though. Up at Mayo Clinic where my husband is starting a drug trial.
10:26 pm
Bugsaw
Oh. We are made of tougher stock. The game is not over until everyone is found.
10:27 pm
Bugsaw
Hi Kizah. You have been quiet while I have been on. I hope things go well for the two of you with the drug trials.
10:27 pm
stidmama
Hey all.
10:27 pm
Bugsaw
STID!!! Hello . I was just bemoaning the lack of people in the chog
10:28 pm
stidmama
Do you have a moment for chog therapy?
10:29 pm
Bugsaw
If you need it.... or can I get some?
10:29 pm
stidmama
I hope your husband's drug trial goes well, Kizah.
10:29 pm
stidmama
We can trade... Grant has hand surgery tomorrow. NOTHING like you needed, but still. *worried mama look*
10:29 pm
stidmama
your turn
10:29 pm
Kizah
He's been stage four for seven years. Got to the point where no chemo was working. Then this drug trial came up. We have high hopes.
10:30 pm
Bugsaw
Oh no! What did he break? I hope it doesn't stiffen up and interfere with his music
10:31 pm
Bugsaw
Stage 4 for 7 years, Kizah! That man is a fighter! You must be truly loved.
10:31 pm
Kizah
He is. He's very strong and very positive. Has had cancer since he was 38...10 years ago.
10:32 pm
Bugsaw
Well, stay positive and I and others will send healing thoughts to you both.
10:32 pm
stidmama
geez, kizah! that's amazing! *impressed mama look* what an incredibly strong will he must have.
And of course, he has you, which probably helps, too!
10:33 pm
Kizah

Grant sliced the back of his right hand open on Monday at work. Saw a surgeon today about the tendons that were impacted, and he needs to have surgery to be certain they are intact (and if they aren't fix it). He will be out of work for a while... which means he can come help in my classroom some *trying to see the silver lining*
10:36 pm
stidmama
How about you, Bugs? *worried friend look*
10:37 pm
stidmama
Kizah, just posted on your page, you're having quite an "adventure" as we call it in our family!
10:37 pm
Bugsaw
I am well stid but just going through a period where too many people I care about are either dying or getting horrible diagnoses. Both Mr Bugs and I are well and have even lost weight!
10:38 pm
Kizah

Sorry for all the links though.

Kind of nervous tonight.

Naches girl
Can anyone clue the second li 5/12 and the last li 4/5? I must be blind...or too weary!
10:39 pm
stidmama
oh -- grid! LOL hold on...
10:41 pm
stidmama
hm. down to 66, I have a plural li 5/12 after an li 6/21, but not sure if its the first or the second one
10:41 pm
stidmama
the second li 5 I have is a plural (like the first)
10:42 pm
Naches girl
It's the first one
10:42 pm
stidmama
the li 4/5 at the end of my list is a slurring of speech, usually with "s"
10:42 pm
stidmama
and that's all the L words...
10:43 pm
Naches girl
Thanks! I'll look.
10:45 pm
Bugsaw
I was just at Facebook too Stid and see that you are taking a day off tomorrow.
10:45 pm
rururocks
day off? wth?
10:46 pm
stidmama
yep. I thought about taking today off (also Tuesday when he had his first follow up from the ER), but then decided to wait in case I wanted to be at the hospital for the surgery.
10:46 pm
rururocks
teachers are such slackers :D
10:46 pm
stidmama
Fortunately, we know the hospital well. It's where Matthew spent the first two weeks of his life in the NICU.
10:46 pm
Naches girl
Thanks, Stid. Fireworks at last!

10:50 pm
rururocks
well I'll take that over BFH
10:50 pm
rururocks
I never comment on Facebook
10:51 pm
stidmama
I do love my job, LA. So many things I am going to be working on for a Loooooong time, but that's okay. I think most of the worries I had at the beginning have already worked themselves out!
10:51 pm
stidmama
LOL ruru -- you old fogie. I could send you an invite to "ello" if you want?
10:51 pm
rururocks
what's ello?

*bugs is desperate*
10:53 pm
Bugsaw
sorry. Mr Bugs just came in to show me the head cheese he is making and I choked.
10:53 pm
rururocks
ewwwww
10:53 pm
Bugsaw
and I am desperate. I can't find 3 pr 4 words
10:53 pm
rururocks
mr. bugs can go eat that in the garage
10:54 pm
stidmama
I bet it's going to taste good, though... what animal(s) is he using?
10:54 pm
stidmama
I have more than three PR words, would be happy to share. I am down to 16 now.
10:54 pm
rururocks
stid do you feel shut down here?
10:55 pm
Bugsaw
I am with ruru on the eating of it stid. He is using all the good white meat that I love from the turkey since he only likes dark meat. I have to get what I want before he starts creating. BBS
10:55 pm
Bugsaw
well I can find 7 ways to spell pren but it is not a word....
10:56 pm
rururocks
i'm not sure exactly what headcheese is but my dad ate it .. and it always smelled awful and looked disgusting
10:56 pm
brandyjack
i prefer the german recipe with pork myself....
10:57 pm
meliae
There are 7 pr words
10:57 pm
rururocks
what is headcheese bj?
10:57 pm
LeslieAnn
i thought it meant showing her what was in the kleenex after a sneeze
10:57 pm
rururocks
ewwww LA
10:57 pm
rururocks
*barfs*
10:57 pm
brandyjack
basically it's spiced meat in a gelatin
10:57 pm
LeslieAnn
haha i thought it was a bit rude of mr. bugs
10:58 pm
rururocks
that is one cute dog in your icon LA
10:58 pm
rururocks
one of my neighbors has the cutest Lab ever
10:58 pm
LeslieAnn
her name is moxie
10:59 pm
stidmama
referring to your earlier conversation, ruru? Yes, sometimes I do and I avoid "speaking" in the chog when certain folks are in evidence. But mostly I am absent because when I am teaching I don't have the time and energy to babble.
10:59 pm
rururocks
aww.. she's really cute
10:59 pm
LeslieAnn
were you going to get a lab? or am i mixing you up with someone else?
10:59 pm
rururocks
oh.. "certain folks?"
10:59 pm
meliae
Same here Sturdy
10:59 pm
rururocks
I am getting a lab.. when I buy my new home
10:59 pm
stidmama
wait wait! ((((((((BJ)))))))) hello! Miss you!
11:00 pm

11:00 pm
rururocks
i'm going to try to get a guide dog reject
11:00 pm
stidmama
yes, but not you. You're too much of a softie to shut me down (or up, apparently).
11:00 pm
stidmama
hello meliae!
11:00 pm
LeslieAnn
ah ok.
11:00 pm
LeslieAnn
haha, so one that gets lost all the time?
11:00 pm
stidmama
I like headcheese, just can't eat it anymore because of the allergies.
11:01 pm
brandyjack
the gelatin comes from the stock bones it's boiled with, and the head is a very large bone. Entire thing has the consistency of cheese. Folks today are too squeamish about what they eat. Folks 2000 years ago ate anything they could get their hands on and didn't sneer at its provenance.
11:01 pm
stidmama
ruru, that sounds like a nice way to find a wonderful companion animal.
11:01 pm
rururocks
I'd get allergies just thinking about eating headcheese ewwwwwwww
11:02 pm
rururocks
yes.. I worked with Guide Dogs for the Blind for a long time.. hoping it will pay off and land me a nice buddy for Dylan
11:02 pm
stidmama
LOL poor, poor delicate ruru... with the right wine, headcheese would be a real delicacy.
11:02 pm
brandyjack
basically its a way to use up scraps, and to provide something that is spoil resistant without refrigeration.
11:02 pm
rururocks
Like I said BJ.. my dad would make it and it would turn my stomach.. it smelled awful
11:03 pm
brandyjack
He needs to change, or add, some spices then.... but then my icicle pickles can clear the house when they are boiling up....
11:04 pm
rururocks
My dad would eat anything.. it totally grossed me out as a kid
11:05 pm
brandyjack
and when i make queso con chile, ouch. the fumes... I know how the people complaining abour Sriracha feel. My kitchen can be just as foul.....
11:07 pm
Bugsaw
LeslieAnn, what you thought was head chease is eactly what I think when I hear the name so I told Mr Bugs and he laughed as well! He is i Finn who grew up poor and he will eat anything gross and slimy
11:07 pm
stidmama
?? icicle pickles? I know you live in the frozen wastelands of the north, BJ, but still!! *astonished mama look*
11:08 pm
brandyjack
They are called icicle pickles because they are boiled 10 times to the point of transparency, then green food coloring is added to them so they look like big chunks of deep green sea ice....
11:09 pm
brandyjack
Bugs,
does he go for lutefisk?
11:09 pm
stidmama
well that is even more astonishing than I was imagining... WOW. I bet they are an interesting texture, too. :-)
11:10 pm
rururocks
*this is like a weird food reality show tonight*
11:10 pm
rururocks
I can't eat slimy things
11:11 pm
brandyjack
oh, indeed. very crispy. and very acidic as well as very sweet. sandwich with sliced roast beef and a few of them is just heaven....
11:11 pm
rururocks
*feels sorry for Bugs now*
11:12 pm
kimberblue
fireworks yay!
11:12 pm
stidmama
oh gee... *trying to not drool* sounds DELICIOUS, BJ
11:12 pm
stidmama
YAY kimber!
11:13 pm
Bugsaw
Brandyjack, he says he doesn't like lutefisk. I didn't know because it is not in my limited repertoire of recipies
11:13 pm
stidmama
oh no, ruru -- mr. bugs is amazing and kind...
11:13 pm
stidmama
it's fermented scandinavian fish, bugs. I have never been brave enough to try it.
11:14 pm
rururocks
*wonders if there's a harpefisk?*
11:14 pm
Bugsaw
well he eats green meat but I don't think it has a name. I am glad he call a halt somewhere!
11:14 pm
brandyjack
fermented in lye no less. lye + fat = soap. no way i would ever eat it...
11:15 pm
rururocks
I hear if you don't cook harpefisk right.. it gets stringy
11:18 pm
rururocks
some people pluck the bones
11:18 pm
stidmama
rofl ruru! too funny!
11:19 pm
Bugsaw
ruru you never give up
11:19 pm
rururocks
me.. ? no.. never
11:20 pm
rururocks
I eat olives and they go through lye.. I can't imagine what fish would taste like treated with lye
11:20 pm
brandyjack
black olives or green stuffed olives?
11:20 pm
rururocks
all kinds. I love olives
11:21 pm
rururocks
I love black more I guess
11:21 pm
brandyjack
never met an olive i didn't like...
11:21 pm
rururocks
me neither
11:21 pm
Bugsaw
What do you mean, olives go thru lye
11:21 pm
rururocks
that's how they treat them bugs
11:22 pm
rururocks
i'm not lyeing
11:22 pm
rururocks
in Berkeley BJ they don't call them Black Olives though
11:22 pm
Bugsaw
well that is a fact I could have lived without but I will still eat them
11:23 pm
brandyjack
Kalamata or black, still taste the same. as long as they aren't pitted... hate soggy olives. just gross.
11:23 pm
LeslieAnn
i'm heading out. nice chatting with you all! night.
11:24 pm
rururocks
no they call them African American olives in Berkeley.. they're very politically correct there :D
11:24 pm
rururocks
Night LA.. have a nice night
11:24 pm
Bugsaw
thanks for the huge laugh leslieAnn
11:25 pm
stidmama
sweet dreams LA ((hugs))
11:26 pm
brandyjack
isn't 'politically correct' a contradiction of terms? How can lies and damn lies possibly be correct....
11:26 pm
Bugsaw
oh, I found another pr. that helps
11:28 pm
rururocks
i'm with you on that one BJ
11:28 pm
Bugsaw
