VolleymomDee

VolleymomDee

when is the date of that hearing?

12:57 am

saanichcat

congrats dee!

12:57 am

lawyer is very optimistic. he says there is too much evidence pointing to my injury not having been resolved.

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

12:58 am

grannyrose

in about 6 weeks dee. waiting to he4 the exact date

12:58 am

VolleymomDee

fantastic

12:58 am

Lizlin

LOL! He says that does he?? Fairly obvious I'd've thought!

12:58 am

Lizlin

So are you and Don going to take that much needed break now?

12:59 am

grannyrose

6 day break already booked in Gippsland. we will venture further abroad when this is sorted.

1:00 am

Lizlin

Really happy you've got that sorted - when are you off?

1:00 am

grannyrose

2 nights in Marlo, a night in Orbost, then 3 nights in Lakes Entrance.

Dianne

Hi all. I had breakfast with Marc Freeman this morning. I haven't seen him in a gazillion years and had forgotten how handsome he is !

1:51 am

Dianne

weeps

1:51 am

grannyrose

nice dianne. and hello

1:51 am

rururocks

that moved seeing him Dianne?

1:51 am

Dianne

Sorry

1:52 am

rolin

has anyone else noticed there were lots of wed. words in thursday's grid...and lots of thursday's words in today's grid?

1:52 am

Dianne

It was so nice to see him and catch up all the people we have in common.

1:53 am

grannyrose

yes rolin, i quite often find words from the previous day's grid in the current one.

2:31 am

sprite

good morning all

2:33 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} sprite.how was your night and how was yesterday?

2:34 am

sprite

hello my dear rose. Mwah, could have been a lot better. Still in pain. How about you?

2:35 am

grannyrose

*gently holds sprite* and kisses it better.

2:35 am

sprite

thanks :D

2:36 am

grannyrose

good consult with lawyer. have decided to go before a medical board. it is all or nothing. lawyer is quite positive that the evidence is overwhelmingly in my favour.

2:38 am

sprite

wow rose! Am so proud of you. Yeah, stressful, but once it is behind you... a medical board should see how things are, for sure. And how majorly your employer and that doctor have messed up.

2:40 am

grannyrose

the board is just two doctors. a GP and an orthopaedic surgeon. it can reinstate my weekly payments, plus all medical costs, plus a compensation payment for all i have been through.

2:41 am

sprite

oh wow. I wish you could get that without going through this extra stress thing, but it sounds doable. And worth it. If they have half a brain between them, they will see how mistreated you have been and how you deserve compensation.

2:47 am

grannyrose

nature calling. will brb

2:47 am

sprite

ok sweetie

2:51 am

grannyrose

and i am back

2:51 am

sprite

wb rose. So how are you feeling about it all?

2:52 am

grannyrose

i'm okay sprite. at least it will be settled once and for all. if the board decides in my favour, workcover have to bide by that decision. there is noappeal.

2:53 am

sprite

ok, that is a good thing, in all honesty. You need to get this behind you. Here's to hoping that board will consist of reasonable people.

2:55 am

sprite

any idea how long this is gonna take?

2:56 am

grannyrose

hopefully in about 6 weeks...and then don and i can begin to live again.

2:56 am

grannyrose

and it is just the one session.

2:56 am

sprite

indeed. It definitely takes its toll on you both. Well, the end is near, my darling. *hugs*

2:59 am

grannyrose

so what's on your agenda for today?

3:00 am

sprite

busy day. My day to shop groceries and cook.

3:00 am

grannyrose

yeah, i did our shopping today on the way home from the lawyer's.

3:01 am

sprite

taxing, rose

3:02 am

grannyrose

i could ha4ly walk when we got home. but it is done for another week.

3:02 am

sprite

poor rose *healing vibes your way*

3:03 am

grannyrose

and back at you sweetie. what a couple of old crocks we are...lol

3:04 am

sprite

lol indeed. We will end up as old ladies who always nag about their aches, lol.

3:06 am

grannyrose

don't know about you, but pain makes me feel 20 years older. oh, and my left hip was hurting when i woke up this morning. i was still lying on my right side. i am gonna have to get this sorry bag of bones into my doctor's and ask for an x-ray.

3:07 am

sprite

aw :( That sucks, sweetie. Yes, pain is debilitating in so many ways. And it eats up your energy faster than anything.

3:16 am

grannyrose

are you enjoying the grid, sprite? i thought it was pretty good.

3:17 am

sprite

a bit easy. When I slowed down, I only had 30 left, lol. But good words.

3:17 am

grannyrose

*nodding head* that's what i found.

3:28 am

sprite

yay, re words done

3:29 am

grannyrose

i was stunned when i found all the u words....lol

3:29 am

sprite

lol have we been babbling for too long? Nahhhh neveer.

3:30 am

grannyrose

ahem...that was before i listed.... just pat gently, feeling a little fragile.

3:30 am

sprite

*warm hug*

3:31 am

grannyrose

ah....nice....

3:32 am

grannyrose

ugh...state elections are for the day we are travelling home from our holiday. * sigh *. don looking it up now...we may have to absentee vote.

3:33 am

sprite

your holiday is more important, rose. It won't hurt if for once you don't vote.

3:34 am

grannyrose

um, sprite...it is compulsory here in australia.

3:35 am

sprite

oh? Ok, didn't know that. Here, that would be considered the opposite of democracy.

3:35 am

grannyrose

i haven't an opinion on that. i have grown up with this law, and accept it.

3:36 am

grannyrose

maybe because our population is considered small compared to countries like the UK or US of A?

3:36 am

sprite

dutch people are headstrong, lol. Very much so.

3:37 am

grannyrose

and that is one of their endearing qualities, sprite.

3:37 am

sprite

*giggles* Don't know about that. But it is the way we are wired. Freedom above all.

3:39 am

grannyrose

one always knows exactly where you are with a dutch person. i cannot stand people tiptoeing around. it makes me gag

3:40 am

sprite

lol, true. We are definitely not known for our tact.

3:40 am

grannyrose

maybe that is why we get along so famously.

3:40 am

sprite

possible, grin. That, and sharing a soul.

3:41 am

grannyrose

yeah....{{hugs}} and heaps of xxxxx

3:42 am

sprite

{{{{{{{rose}}}}}}} it is amazing, how close we are without having met.

3:42 am

sprite

fireflies. Last word was the last word, lol.

3:43 am

grannyrose

exactly, sprite. oh my...someone pass me the tissues....i haven't been this close to another woman since robyn died.

3:43 am

grannyrose

exactly, sprite. oh my...someone pass me the tissues....i haven't been this close to another woman since robyn died.

3:43 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

3:44 am

sprite

oh my dear friend... it can hit so suddenly, can't it, missing a person. *hugs*

3:44 am

grannyrose

please don't push yourself dearest. try and think of a one pan meal for dinner.

3:45 am

grannyrose

sprite, she and i sh6 so much....people will never understand just how close we were.

3:45 am

sprite

and you take care and have a good night of sleep, rose... *hugs* and lots of love.

3:45 am

sprite

and to you all out there, a blessed day and a peaceful night

3:45 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and lots of love sprite

4:32 am

jaxx7

4:32 am

rubyfoo

So when are you coming to Europe? As the year winds down, I think of Spring

4:32 am

rubyfoo

4:34 am

grannyrose

Bonjour, Rose

4:35 am

jaxx7

That is about my all my vocab. lol

4:35 am

grannyrose

ruby, looking at next june/july.

4:36 am

rubyfoo

4:36 am

rubyfoo

(I can speak French but can't type for sh**)

4:36 am

grannyrose

ugh, probably not a good idea, ruby. roflol...although i was able to make myself understood on Lifu.

4:37 am

jaxx7

Good word for today's grid!

4:38 am

rubyfoo

off I go see you later!

4:38 am

grannyrose

4:39 am

jaxx7

That was short and sweet ruby. Bye for now

4:40 am

jaxx7

keep wanting to type slurp

4:41 am

jaxx7

How are you doing, Rose?

4:42 am

grannyrose

jaxx, doing okay thanx hun. going before a medical board for a final decision re my injury. in about 6 weeks. i will bide by their decision.

4:42 am

grannyrose

and you? how are you coping?

4:43 am

jaxx7

Long wait, though, Rose.

4:44 am

grannyrose

jaxx, even longer if i go to court. that would be 6-8 months. * sigh *

4:44 am

jaxx7

The news is good. Ashley has gone back to his mum for good. jessica has been removed from the care programme and described as 'a delightful student' and I have my bed back

4:45 am

grannyrose

as you say, good news. yay!!!

4:48 am

jaxx7

I, though, am definitely regressing. I decided to stand on my bed to reach something down from the top of a wardrobe. Now I had forgotten that I am 68, not 21 any more so muggins jumped off the bed. I hit the floor , tipped forward, and grabbed at a stepladder (that I should have used, stupid cow) and fell head first into another wardrobe hitting my head in the process. I must have a hard head because that was OK but my right arm bore the brunt of it. Still hurts this morning.

4:50 am

grannyrose

oh, jaxx. you poor darling! yeah, i know...the frustration of when our bodies start to let us down...*sigh*

4:50 am

grannyrose

any bruises?

4:51 am

jaxx7

I think it is my mind that is going - why stand on the bed in the first place.

4:51 am

grannyrose

darn!!! dinner ready...just as this conversation was getting interesting.

4:51 am

jaxx7

No bruises that show, only to my dignity. HeeHee

4:52 am

grannyrose

hugs jaxx carefully..

4:52 am

jaxx7

Thanks, Rose. Go and get your dinner. Enjoy your meal and thanks for not laughing,

5:15 am

crosshair

good morning everyone:)

5:15 am

grannyrose

and back...jaxx, would never laugh at your hurt dignity.

5:15 am

grannyrose

g'day crossy

5:15 am

crosshair

((rose))

5:16 am

sukee

Morning people.

5:16 am

crosshair

howdy, sukee

5:16 am

grannyrose

5:20 am

sukee

Think i am taking a break from Facebook. It's getting too annoying.

5:21 am

grannyrose

sukee. hubby has disconnected himself from facebook. and i never use my account. too many snags and snares.

5:21 am

sukee

So many negative people too.

5:21 am

crosshair

I used to be on it every day up until a year or so ago. Now I am hardly ever on it.

5:22 am

crosshair

FB has becone too "big brotherish" for my liking

5:22 am

sukee

Not the people I follow but on news stories, everything becomes controversial and argumentative

5:23 am

sukee

That is true, I was searching for something off Facebook and now all the ads I see are for that.

5:24 am

sukee

The ads on Facebook that is.

5:24 am

crosshair

I starting hating that I knew that I was their product and they were gleaning every scrap of info about me they could and basically selling me to advertisers.

5:25 am

sukee

When you can't sleep due to some stupid argument on Facebook you know it's time to take a break :)

5:25 am

crosshair

Google is guilty of that as well but I cannot stand some of the alternative search engines with greater privacy

5:26 am

crosshair

indeed, sukee

5:26 am

sukee

That is one think about using Tunnel Bear, when it is on I can browse anonymously.

5:26 am

crosshair

yes, it is a lot like the Tor browser in that regard

5:27 am

crosshair

though that also has its own issues

5:27 am

sukee

Oh, and I figured out the extra network connection on my computer, it was Tunnelbear. So no evil hackers :)

5:28 am

sukee

Well, Boo is off to the vet this afternoon. He has been having some stomach issues and he does need a check up.

5:28 am

crosshair

ahh, very good then

5:29 am

crosshair

poor boo:(

5:29 am

crosshair

must be a dog:)

5:30 am

sukee

He also seems to not want to poop and has been going in inappropriate places. He may have gotten a slight infection down there but he does not seem to have a fever. But, he was more like himself last night and cuddy.

5:31 am

crosshair

Me and You and A Dog Named boo by Lobo :)

5:31 am

crosshair

it is worth a check-up

5:31 am

sukee

Yes, I loved that song. But Boo came with that name. I have added Radley to his name.

5:32 am

crosshair

but get tea going and wake my better half up, brb

5:32 am

crosshair

must*

5:42 am

Jivingjenny0

5:49 am

juniperberet

5:49 am

Anniebrook

5:54 am

sukee

5:54 am

sukee

5:57 am

evanonut

5:58 am

evanonut

tough crowd this morning

5:58 am

sukee

Good morning.

5:59 am

evanonut

hello sukee one of the many babblers I know not anymore

6:00 am

Anniebrook

remember me, nutty?

6:01 am

evanonut

there's my annie! a reply I first typed into the grid

6:02 am

Anniebrook

nutty, are you still in Pennsylvania?

6:03 am

evanonut

sure am, for at least five years id say

6:03 am

Anniebrook

you doing okay?

6:04 am

evanonut

doing great! I lost my job in the big government contract investigations scandal, but I found a better job.

6:04 am

evanonut

and no, I've done nothing scandalous of course

6:05 am

Anniebrook

and I bet it pays much more, I bet. Good to hear no scandals.

6:05 am

evanonut

not up front, but with the bonus, yes

6:06 am

crosshair

Crossy is back:))

6:06 am

Anniebrook

my keyboards is going crazy...I type, nothing shows, then it all comes up at once.

6:06 am

Anniebrook

morning, crossy

6:06 am

evanonut

ha! keyboard or the computer can't keep up with your brilliance?

6:07 am

evanonut

crossy my lord *deep bow*

6:07 am

crosshair

Howdy, Annie:)

6:07 am

Anniebrook

I guess that's it.

6:07 am

Anniebrook

I guess that's it.

6:07 am

crosshair

Don't bow, just throw money:)

6:07 am

evanonut

shoot, I can't throw money, all I can throw is a debit card

6:08 am

sukee

Well, I'm off to the gym. Depressing, it's still dark out.

6:08 am

evanonut

work out for me too please

6:08 am

crosshair

A debit card is fine as long as there is the green to back it up in the bank vault:)

6:08 am

sukee

Sure

6:08 am

crosshair

Not going to get any better, sukee:(

6:09 am

MollyL

Evan, that is the fattest turkey I have ever seen. It's a wonder those skinny legs will carry it.

6:09 am

evanonut

hmmm, enough to buy groceries and take a chunk out of the credit card, that's all I view the rest as anyway

6:09 am

crosshair

Those January days where it is dark till 08:30 am and the sun is gone at 5 pm:(

6:10 am

evanonut

lol molly, the formatting skewed him a little, he was a big tom, one of two that spent at least an hour intimidating each other in my yard

6:11 am

evanonut

then the in-laws requested a repeat performance for their visit. wouldn't you know at 7am I was waking them up telling them that "as per their request I have arranged a repeat performance"

6:11 am

MollyL

Well, they have to get all that alpha male behavior out before someone makes them Thanksgiving dinner.

6:17 am

evanonut

aw man! blue screen of death on the work computer!

6:17 am

crosshair

nasty! Have not seen one of those in years:(

6:18 am

evanonut

and in the background, the soothing rumble of a fracking well being burned off

6:23 am

crosshair

Ahh... the melodious sound of the land being destroyed.

6:23 am

MollyL

Ah, peaceful country life

6:23 am

crosshair

and all that fresh water contaminated:)

6:23 am

Anniebrook

bucolic

6:24 am

crosshair

But I do not want to get into that or I will end up ranting about the Embridge pipeline

6:24 am

MollyL

Ooo Annie, great descriptive.

6:25 am

Anniebrook

the thought of fracking makes my hair frizz. so far, new york has been spared.

6:25 am

evanonut

I feel you crossy. I signed my rights over because all the large farms around have. so basically, if something like my water was destroyed I'd have funds to fix what they would claim was not their fault.

6:26 am

evanonut

that's because you don't have Corbett for a governer annie, who has had great financial gain from this through his wife

6:27 am

crosshair

they do not need your land anyways; they will just slant-drill from two properties over and be under your home in a flash

6:27 am

Anniebrook

I wish boils on him and his wife

6:28 am

Anniebrook

brb

6:29 am

evanonut

wish granted, he looks like one

6:31 am

MimiCat

Morning, everyone! I have news (Annie, you already know about this). My daughter got married Wed.

6:31 am

MollyL

Long live Jambi

6:32 am

evanonut

oooooooooooooooooh, LOVE is in the air

6:32 am

car.eeyore

Congrats Mimi!

6:32 am

crosshair

(9mimi))

6:34 am

MimiCat

Thanks. They have been together 3 years, living together for 2 and are 28 and 30 years old. They bought a house Monday and needed both incomes to qualify for the loan, so just went ahead and got married. My daughter is a very practical person. They're planning to have an actual wedding a bit later and he's now shopping for an "engagement ring for her." She's MY daughter, all right...doing things backwards! Buy a house...get married...get engaged.

6:34 am

crosshair

Yaa for mimi's daughter!

6:34 am

car.eeyore

LOL!

6:35 am

bichon

Mimi, at least you don't have to add, had a baby

6:36 am

MimiCat

I was the first one my daughter told...that makes me happy. They're trying to not tell anyone yet so I'm sworn to secrecy...but since none of you know anyone they know, this is acceptable.

6:36 am

MimiCat

Bichon, their new house has 4 bedrooms and I told her not to be too eager to fill those up with babies too soon. She said not to worry...that's not in the plan for quite some time.

6:38 am

crosshair

large house for a first home:)

6:38 am

crosshair

4 bedrooms, so at least 2500 sq ft

6:39 am

Trifioso

good morning

6:39 am

Howdy, trif

6:39 am

car.eeyore

Someone's kitty is hunting in my backyard....I love to see animals doing their natural thing!

Hi Trif....all hell breaking loose here this morning. :(

6:40 am

Trifioso

It is a beautiful house, too. They got a great deal and all appliances including washer/dryer are included, the owners are paying all closing costs and providing a warranty! And...get this...they're getting a VA loan since he was a Marine and their interest rate is locked in at 3.8%!

Hi, Trif!

HI Ruby

6:43 am

MRI's have become a quick thing now anyways. Once upon a time an MRI appt used to eat up half a day, but now they get me in and out in less than 30 minutes:)

6:43 am

crosshair

((ruby))

6:43 am

MimiCat

Yes, I am. After such a terrible time in the past, I'm breathing a sigh of relief now and hoping I can put all that behind me. Moving forward is definitely my direction of choice!

6:44 am

crosshair

Let us know the second you find that perfect cabin in the mountains, mimi!

6:44 am

Trifioso

oh, well said, mimi good for you!

6:44 am

MimiCat

I remember when I first saw MRI technology...since I work in that field. The pictures are so amazing that even I could read the results!

6:44 am

car.eeyore

It is lying down on the hard table and not being able to move that is worrying me...my back will knot up and I will then be very uncomfortable. <sigh> But I have to do it.

6:45 am

car.eeyore

come read mine today, Mimi!

6:45 am

car.eeyore

OK...I'm off. HAGD all!

tc car and good luck

6:46 am

MimiCat

Have them give you the "cushion" they have to put under your knees, car...you'll be more comfortable.

6:46 am

MimiCat

Thank you, crossy. Definitely something to look forward to. Then...I can invite everyone to come and visit!

6:47 am

rubyfoo

I'm not sure I know the difference between an MRI (IRM, here) and a "scanneur*. Which one has the nice BOOM noise which always puts me to sleep

6:47 am

crosshair

I have issues with the MRI table because I have to be flat on my back for them to get a clear image of my neck. No head elevation allowed! I end up choking on my own saliva half the time.

6:48 am

rubyfoo

I like being closed in and still

6:48 am

crosshair

The mri is magnetic imaging and you lay inside the Doughnut and the cameras rotate around you bombarding you with magnetism

6:48 am

MimiCat

I hope they keep improving them so that one day that awful, loud crack, crack goes away!

6:49 am

crosshair

Crossy is a tad claustrophobic

6:49 am

rubyfoo

Aftr my doctor visit yesterday, I think that's what she said I need for my unexamined chest pain -- either a torn muscle or (no no no) much worse

6:49 am

MimiCat

At least they now have "open" MRI as an option instead of being totally enclosed. That's very difficult for many people.

6:49 am

1 second flash of Ben in full frontal shot.

3:32 pm

Jillyjill

*covers eyes*

3:32 pm

hego

If you blink, you'll miss it.

3:33 pm

MollyL

That's what all the girls say

3:33 pm

Soodle

Lol, Hego. Could you pinpoint the exact time in the movie? (Camera phone primed & ready...)

3:33 pm

hego

When they get in the shower.

3:34 pm

MollyL

It's official. Soodle keeps junk pictures on her phone.

3:34 pm

hego

lol Molly!

3:35 pm

Soodle

Psst...anyone wanna buy a dodgy picture...

3:36 pm

hego

uh, oh!

3:38 pm

Jillyjill

Dang, getting the red box...brb going to reboot

3:40 pm

Soodle

I had a really lovely chat with our Rubyfoo on the phone last night. I just love her to bits!

3:40 pm

Jillyjill

BAck...how did the MD appointment go...and how is she?

3:40 pm

hego

That's so nice Soodle.

3:41 pm

Uneaixoise

wow -- what fun, soodle!

3:46 pm

Soodle

Yeah - no surprises at the MD appointment, Jill. No doubt, in the fullness of time, Rubes will fill everybody in.

3:46 pm

MollyL

Hmm...we went from pictures of junk to Ruby...hmmm

3:46 pm

Jillyjill

I think we walk the same path.... :( but I have great support

3:47 pm

hego

Hoping Ruby is okay....

3:47 pm

hego

and Jilly.

3:47 pm

MollyL

I feel bad for Ruby that she is dealing with this all by herself.

3:48 pm

Jillyjill

It's surprising how fast one finds out true friends

3:49 pm

hego

It's the reason I never would move far from my folks, no matter how great the spot.

3:49 pm

hego

I hope she has some Jilly.

3:50 pm

Jillyjill

Cannot imagine being that far away.

3:50 pm

Jillyjill

Well, 41 left. Quick break...bbs

3:50 pm

hego

Jilly you have a great group out there.

3:50 pm

hego

Bye...

3:52 pm

MollyL

It's unfortunate that most people are only "friends" when it's convenient or beneficial to them.

3:53 pm

hego

Sometimes people can surprise you, though.

3:55 pm

Soodle

I don't believe I'm breaking any confidences when I say that Ruby's dogs are her lifeline. They are a constant source of joy to her. A

3:55 pm

hego

them and her garden keep her going.

3:57 pm

Soodle

Oh yes!! Her garden! God!! I wish I had something I was as passionate about. My 'garden' is a stress factor in my life.

3:57 pm

hego

mine too. :)

3:58 pm

Soodle

When I say 'my garden' I actually mean Jurrasic Park.

3:58 pm

hego

Bullying my husband to weed is my biggest effort in that area.

3:58 pm

hego

lol Soodle.

3:59 pm

hego

Things do grow quickly on the auld sod.

3:59 pm

MollyL

I knew it. Spread the word. Hego is a bully.
: D

4:00 pm

Soodle

Quickly?? Good grief..

4:00 pm

hego

:O

4:00 pm

hego

All that water does it.

4:02 pm

Soodle

At least you have a bully-ee, Hego! I have nobody to nag/cajole/bully. And the wilderness that is my garden is right there in my face every time I come home..

4:03 pm

hego

Pull the curtains. :)

4:03 pm

hego

Why do you think I remarried, Soodle.

4:03 pm

Soodle

Lol, Hego!!

4:04 pm

Soodle

If I ever remarry, it will be to a man with a ride-on mower & a green thumb!

4:05 pm

hego

Being widowed made me very tough. I no longer sweat the small stuff.

4:05 pm

hego

Or one who bullies easily.

4:09 pm

Soodle

Lol, Hego. I hear you. After I suddenly became single, I had to renew my car insurance. I punched the air when I completed it! I had never in my life done something like that before. (I have had less success with various DIY jobs)

4:10 pm

hego

But it's fun to try.

4:12 pm

Soodle

Hmm. Renewing insurance is fun. Bleeding radiators - less fun. Taking the garbage out - less fun. Seeking out the source of the leaky roof - less fun. :-/

4:13 pm

hego

Hmmm... true. I think I meant when you succeed.

4:16 pm

Soodle

Ah yes. Appreciate all victories!

4:16 pm

hego

:)

4:16 pm

Jillyjill

Hello again...

4:17 pm

Jillyjill

I have such respect for single women!

4:17 pm

Soodle

Your icon is delightful, Hego!

4:18 pm

hego

It was in tribute to my trip to Florence last month.

4:19 pm

JBsAnno

Evanonut, crossy, sorry, got called away. {{ â™¥â™¥ }} back atcha!

4:19 pm

MollyL

Soodle, doesn't the rich husband come with a gardener? If not, why bother?

4:21 pm

Soodle

Lol Jilly. Two choices. (A) Get on with life, or (B) lie down and die.

4:21 pm

hego

True, only one way to go there.

4:22 pm

Soodle

Crikey, Molls. I'd forego the rich husband for a gardener!

4:24 pm

hego

It was amazing Soodle.

4:24 pm

Soodle

Jillyjill

TY soodle....

4:32 pm

ivesy3

4:33 pm

Jillyjill

LOL Molly.. I thought the same thing! Rich husband should equal having a paid gardener!

4:33 pm

MollyL

Thank God Ivesy still has the good sense God gave her.

4:34 pm

ivesy3

periwinkle

hi all. speaking of single women. I am fiercely independent. it comes from living many years by myself. I can change a fuse and know what to do with a fuse box. change a lightbulb, unclog a drain, etc.

5:02 pm

periwinkle

but it is nice to have someone to lean on a times too

5:02 pm

MollyL

Good for you Peri. I think it's good for women to know those kind of things. It keeps them from being clingy, whiny, needy partners.

5:03 pm

periwinkle

now listen here assed is a word and it is in morewords but alas enable will not accept it.

5:03 pm

MollyL

I once knew a woman who depended on her husband for everything. She said that when he left her, she didn't even know how to write a check.

5:04 pm

periwinkle

that is sad but not uncommon especially in older women who have been married a long time

5:04 pm

periwinkle

I had no choice, there was no one to help me.

5:04 pm

periwinkle

but I am better for it

5:05 pm

MollyL

You are better for it. Back in the day when there was full serve gas, my Mom didn't know how to pump her own. Now that is sad.

5:06 pm

periwinkle

I have a friend in her late 40's who has never lived alone. lived at home married young, divorced after 20 years of marriage, lived with a girlfriend and then with the man she is now engaged to.

5:07 pm

periwinkle

Molls, no G&T today. had a hair dresser appt. maybe tomorrow after the gym

hello everybody. The night owl has let out the crazies. They both sleep about 26 hrs a day ut whe they aren't eating in the other two hours, they wrestle wildly and tonight it was in the bedroom. Fun to watch but I have to flatten myself against a wall to avoid being inadvertently mowed down.

5:10 pm

rubyfoo

160 lbs of dog at knee level is definitely a hazard!

Congrats, Peri!

5:36 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Jaxx :-)

5:36 pm

jaxx7

How are you?

5:37 pm

zoozzoom

I am okay :-) And yourself?

5:40 pm

jaxx7

I have decided that I am not safe to let out. We went buying fireworks today. On the way out of the store I went to get us a cup of tea. On the way to the car one of the lids came off and scalding hot tea ran over me left hand. I dropped the other tea and it scalded my leg. It is very, very sore and I am very sorry for myself. BooHoo

5:41 pm

zoozzoom

Good grief! Hope you managed to put your scalded hand under water for a good ten minutes.Very sorry to hear you did that to yourself.#

5:42 pm

zoozzoom

Did either your hand or leg come up with blisters? If so I think they say do not pop them.

5:43 pm

jaxx7

In the middle of a superstore carpark? Nigel went to get bottled water and i trickled that over the reddest areas. It wasn't until we got home I looked at the 'water' and it was Fruit Shoot Hydro, blackcurrant flavour! So I am very sweet and sticky as well.

5:45 pm

zoozzoom

Oh yes sorry.A bit tired here.Sounds like it just has not been your day :-(

5:45 pm

jaxx7

No blisters as yet but I find I get them the day after. At the moment it just hurts like H***

5:47 pm

zoozzoom

Yes I can imagine.When I used to work in the kitchens as a chef.I had scalded myself a few times over the years.I did find that after about two hours the pain went away.Not sure why.

5:48 pm

zoozzoom

Maybe you should go to the chemists in the morning and let them know.They might have a cream or something you could use to help heal the wound or stop the pain quicker?

5:49 pm

zoozzoom

Not going to be a comfy night for you now though.I feel for you :-(

5:49 pm

jaxx7

This follows on from yesterday when I stood on the bed to get something off the top of the wardrobe. I then forgot that I am 68 and not 21 and jumped off the bed. I hit the floor feet first, grabbed the stepladder (that I should have used before. Thhis pulled my arm across and the momentum carried me head first into another wardrobe. So I now have a pulled arm muscle on the rightand a scalded left les and hand. I am definitely a danger to myself.

5:50 pm

jaxx7

leg and hand. Sorry about the typing.

5:52 pm

zoozzoom

Ouch! What on earth are you doing to yourself! I think you need to slow down and think before doing things.Probably got a lot on your mind and not thinking logically.S.L.O.W D.O.W.N before you do yourself some serious harm.You will be no good to anyone then!

5:53 pm

jaxx7

This follows a week of severe vertigo and perhaps this slight off centre feeling is a remnant of that. Doctor's on Monday I think.

5:54 pm

jaxx7

hura

5:54 pm

zoozzoom

Yes I feel the doctors might be a good way to go.Vertigo must be an aweful thing to have.And like you say could have something to do with it.

5:55 pm

jaxx7

That is not a comment on my stupidity!

5:55 pm

zoozzoom

Hu 5/16 and Hu 4/6 are the only two HUs

5:56 pm

zoozzoom

HU 5/16 is plural of what sounds like a name for a group of cows.

5:57 pm

zoozzoom

The other hu is the HU 4/6 what you did when you Hu4 ed yourself of the bed.

5:58 pm

jaxx7

Thanks, Zoom. I am now off to my bed with one arm stuck up in the air like an aerial. Night.

5:58 pm

zoozzoom

Good job you did not jarr your back as well.That would of been even worse. Hope you can try and get some sleep, Jaxx.

5:59 pm

jaxx7

Thanks. I might read before I try and sleep properly.

6:02 pm

zoozzoom

That is what I am about to do too.Reading the second book of the Septimus Heap series (seven books) so far. By Angie Sage. Happy reading then, Jaxx.I too am off to read.

6:08 pm

Good Enough

enable did not go to college obviously cuz rewear is totally a word ;)

6:36 pm

penquis

heh heh....certainly one in my vocabulary!

6:45 pm

sukee

Hi all, going through Facebook withdrawal so hanging around here more :)

6:54 pm

stidgmere

Hello all. Just getting started on this grey, rainy, windy day in the great American Northwest. This was my day to reorganize paper work for the past two months. Argh.

6:55 pm

Lizlin

Hi all, hi stidg :)

6:55 pm

Lizlin

Need to find my last 4 words - was just too tired last night!

6:55 pm

stidgmere

Hi Lizlin. Nice to see you. I have the two d words from the left column but that's all.

6:56 pm

Lizlin

That's a good start! I searched for those for quite a while!

6:56 pm

Lizlin

Just found a really simple dr 5 that I'd missed!

6:57 pm

stidgmere

I like to work across the grid from left top, down, then the next column down and so on. My brain works best that way.

6:57 pm

stidgmere

Which is not to say excellently, but optimum for me.

6:58 pm

Lizlin

I start off random, just typing in words as I see them, then become more logical when I eventually list. But if I find a particular pattern, I work on that too.

6:58 pm

Lizlin

Any method is good, as long as it works for you!

6:58 pm

Lizlin

Need to find an sa 5/6 combo now to finish!

6:59 pm

stidgmere

Go, go, go, lizlin.

6:59 pm

Lizlin

Hm! From 2 different s's!

6:59 pm

Lizlin

Duh! Indian dress!

7:00 pm

Lizlin

Sorry - shouldn't have typed that in - unwanted clue!

7:00 pm

Lizlin

Fireworks!

7:00 pm

Lizlin

And pb at the same time! Time for a beach walk, methinks! Good luck with the grid :)

7:01 pm

stidgmere

Goodbye, liz. Thanks for the company.

7:35 pm

jzw

So no one is there?

7:35 pm

jzw

Here?

7:36 pm

stidgmere

Yes, I'm here. Quietly doing the grid.

7:36 pm

jzw

East Coast Mid or West?

7:38 pm

stidgmere

Early evening or late afternoon. Still with daylight.

7:38 pm

jzw

Night here

7:38 pm

jzw

But our weather has been fantastic

7:39 pm

stidgmere

Well glad your weather suits you. We are going to have a dark and windy night. So wonderfully seasonal!

7:41 pm

jzw

Fall in New England is so colorful and cozy, but it reminds me of what is to come and I have learned not to like winter. But our summer was not great, but we are making up for it now.

7:44 pm

stidgmere

I think lots of people have a dread of driving in snowy conditions. Right now so many people are having to drive to work before daylight and when it is rainy, the multiple reflections make everyone more ill-at-ea**.

7:45 pm

jzw

Thanks! Didn't have the ea4/4

7:46 pm

stidgmere

And I'm not in the pb eating bonbons because of giving you the word!

7:47 pm

jzw

I don't understand the short hand, but I've just finished a bag ap\

7:47 pm

jzw

of Cappuchino Lays which I highly reccomend

7:49 pm

stidgmere

pb means penalty box. If you use a word in the grid in the chat, that means you must go into the penalty box (variously described) until whenever. It is virtual. Virtually no where and for no time.

Could I get a clue for wr6, please?

8:05 pm

Flume of Ware

Fishy?

8:05 pm

wr + word for butt + vowel. I had no idea it was a fish.

8:06 pm

Marc Freeman

thanks got it

8:09 pm

Flume of Ware

First time I've been on here so was that too specific (even though you didn't know it was a fish!)?

8:11 pm

MollyL

Nope, not too specific at all. People often clue with the definition of the word.

8:13 pm

Flume of Ware

I think this is going to take a lot more practice, I've still got 69 words to find!

8:23 pm

there is always lickety to help you...

hi...

9:07 pm

9:08 pm

oops Hi penquis. I just arrived and forgot to pay attention before starting......... This could be a long grid for me

9:15 pm

penquis

hi...

9:19 pm

stidgmere

Finished our dinner and now to watch TV. Hi to you all and good night.

9:20 pm

Bugsaw

waves to stidgmere. Sorry I missed you tonight

9:21 pm

stidmama

hey all

9:21 pm

stidmama

just checking in...

9:22 pm

stidmama

Comme est la grid aujord'hui?

9:22 pm

Bugsaw

too early to tell for me stid. How are you today? I just missed your Mum

9:23 pm

stidmama

LOL better than the last couple of days... had multiple classroom and playground crises this week. All managed, and no kids permanently damaged, but I REALLY needed the weekend!

9:24 pm

stidmama

and it's raining, so it's not as much fun to drive or be outside... but otherwise things are going well. You?

9:24 pm

Bugsaw

I am so sorry. Little things are so huge to little kids.

9:25 pm

Bugsaw

We are having lots of rain too but I am happy to have an excuse to stay inside. I am trying to rearrange and paint my office at the same time. Not the best plan.

9:25 pm

Bugsaw

the kids must have been fascinated to meet Grant.

9:25 pm

stidmama

well, a bigger space might be easier. LOL lots of lovely tarps and painter's tape!

9:25 pm

stidmama

They LOVED meeting him! And the best part was, he loved meeting them, too.

9:26 pm

Bugsaw

When I was that age I had no idea that teachers had families. Somehow I just thought they appeared at school every morning.

9:27 pm

stidmama

:-D me too...

9:27 pm

stidmama

and then this week I found out that two of the teachers at the school are married to each other! LOL They have a common enough last name, I assumed they weren't... so they had a chance to tell me their love story and it was so sweet...

9:30 pm

Bugsaw

The kids at one school had an elementary principal whom they loved named Mr Allan. The secretary at the middle school was his wife. They day they realised that they all came to me exclaiming, " Did you know that Mrs. Allan is married to Mr. Allan?" I couldn't understand why they were so astonished by that until she explained it to me.

9:31 pm

stidmama

Funny!

9:31 pm

stidmama

oooh. found a 7!

9:32 pm

Bugsaw

good job. I can't find much tonight.

9:37 pm

stidmama

I can help some, I am down to 74. Resting my hips, feet up (haven't been able to do that for two days!). Didn't bring work home, but will go to school in the morning and take care of some grading and organizing. We have three weeks until conferences. I am a little nervous...

9:38 pm

Bugsaw

no need to be nervous. you can wing it with parents because you know their kids so well.

9:39 pm

stidmama

I hope so, because I know so few of the parents!!!!

9:40 pm

Bugsaw

You aren't supposed to know the parents. They just want to know how their kids are doing at school -- do they have friends and are they struggling with anything.

9:40 pm

stidmama

I asked the kids what they want my new "teaching vests" to look like (I make vests with large pockets to hold a timer, pens, markers....). Here are some of their ideas: "the vest I want is kinda like web and stuff"

9:42 pm

Bugsaw

suggestions like that will get your creativity on edge

9:42 pm

stidmama

"bugs on the front and animals on the back"
"musical instermints or heats [hearts] or spider fabrick an stars"
"birds" "books" "buterflie"

9:43 pm

stidmama

I am having so much fun with these kiddos. They are creative and interested in so much of life! Some of the suggestions are sketches... they are great artists at this age.

9:45 pm

Bugsaw

You may have to make a patchwork vest with little bits of these fabrics. Can you buy 1/5 of a yard of fabric? or is that just too cheap?

9:46 pm

stidmama

I really should have several vests for this age group anyway, and I always make them reversible... and "patchwork" pockets. :-)

9:50 pm

gapeach

I am really ashamed to ask this again....puter went crazy and I lost lickety's list. Many have told me how to do it but I just get stupid....I can bring up the list but I can't put them together and get the little orange things to send words to the list or the grid. If someone will REALLY dumb it down I will try again....as is I am just doing it without lickety.....thanks so much.

9:52 pm

Bugsaw

I think you just have to highlight all the words you have, copy them and then drop them in the first box at the bottom of Licketys List for Bulk add.

9:52 pm

gapeach

Thanks Bugs, I will try that.

9:53 pm

Bugsaw

I can

9:53 pm

Bugsaw

I can't get them on the same screen but it is easy enough to open the list in a new tab and just switch

9:55 pm

Bugsaw

hope you are well peach

9:56 pm

stidmama

hello peach!

9:56 pm

gapeach

I got as far as highlighting the words but I don't know how to copy them....

9:57 pm

gapeach

Hi there, stidmama.

9:57 pm

Bugsaw

hightlight them, right click, find Copy and click that, go to the box on the list, right click Paste. They should all appear there.

9:57 pm

gapeach

I am much better that last week, Bugs. Thanks for asking.

9:58 pm

stidmama

glad you're here bugs, I am trying to just think how to do it... and not managing to get my head around anything!

9:58 pm

Bugsaw

glad to hear it. Did it work for you yet

10:00 pm

Bugsaw

I need the list tonight stid.

10:00 pm

penquis

hi peach...long time no see....

10:01 pm

gapeach

Hi there, pen. Hope all is well with you.

10:01 pm

stidmama

I would need it if I wanted to finish... I am trying to find words, but I know I won't be up much longer.

10:03 pm

penquis

ok here....getting PT for a sore arm, but otherwise fine...

10:12 pm

gapeach

Sorry about your arm, pen. Did you fall or injure it somehow?

10:13 pm

gapeach

Bugs, I have tried everything....obviously not doing something right. I will write down your instructions and try again later. Thanks so much.

10:15 pm

penquis

no, don't know how it happened....overdoing i guess...

10:15 pm

penquis

what are you trying to do, peach?

10:16 pm

gapeach

Trying to bring Lickety's list back up.....had computer trouble and it was erased.

10:17 pm

penquis

ah....so you were trying to copy your list here to lickety?

10:17 pm

Bugsaw

Can yo get them to land in the box peach? Then you just click Add Words on the box

10:18 pm

Bugsaw

It is easy to bring the list up. Just look at the bottom in the green words where it says Licketys Babble clues. Click on that and it will open in another tab.

10:20 pm

stidmama

there. I am down to 50 and going to sleep now... back later on the weekend. **choclits and good thoughts to all**

*Poof*

10:25 pm

Bugsaw

waves to stid. I am watching Doc Martin andneed to pay more attention to the chog

10:26 pm

gapeach

Bugs, I am able to bring up the list with just the two letters and word points......that is better than I have been doing. Thanks so much for your help.

10:27 pm

Bugsaw

Good, now try the highlighting of the words you have found. Are you clear on how to do that?

10:32 pm

gapeach

Yes, I can do that and click on "copy".....I've tried clicking onto the first box in lickety's list but it dosen't come up as part of the same page as it used to.

10:32 pm

Bugsaw

you are looking for the big box at the end of Licketys List of words. It is called Bulk Add.

10:33 pm

gapeach

Oh, OK.

10:34 pm

Bugsaw

put the cursor in that box, right click to find Paste and then click on Paste. They should all land in the box. Then click the yellow Add Bulk button on the lower edge of the box and they will all go to where they belong.

10:43 pm

Bugsaw

how is it going peach?

10:43 pm

gapeach

Have done that....it gives me the number of words that I have and the number I have left. When I hit the ADD BULK nothing happens.

10:45 pm

penquis

your list does not appear in the lickety word list?

10:46 pm

gapeach

No, pen. I must be the dumbest thing going.

10:46 pm

gapeach

Going to try again.

10:47 pm

Bugsaw

^Did a little box appear that says how many words were added? You just have to say OK

10:48 pm

gapeach

Will do that now.

10:52 pm

gapeach

Clicked "OK' and nothing happened.

10:52 pm

gapeach

Will try again.

10:54 pm

Bugsaw

I can't figure out what step we are missing peach. I am sorry.

10:55 pm

gapeach

Bugs, all of the words I had came up but don't know how to get them transfered over.

10:56 pm

penquis

transferred to where?

10:57 pm

Bugsaw

there are 2 big boxes at the bottom of the list. Are you dropping in the first one labelled Add bulk ? The other one doesn't work the same way

10:58 pm

gapeach

Yes, I am using the first one, Bugs.

10:58 pm

Bugsaw

NOT the Bulk Grab box. Use the Bulk Add box to get them to stick in the correct spots.

10:58 pm

Bugsaw

So you can get them to land in the Bulk Add box and then what happens?

10:59 pm

Bugsaw

are you able to see what step is not clear penguis? Please help

11:00 pm

MollyL

Peach, are you on Lickety's Babble Clues or are you in Expert?

11:00 pm

gapeach

Molly, I am on Lickety's Babble Clues.

11:03 pm

gapeach

I tried it again and got as far as the OK box, clicked on it but nothing happened.

11:03 pm

When you click on OKAY, it just makes that popped up box disappear. You have to actually scroll up the screen to see where your words landed on that page.

If you are using Babble Expert, you don't need to use Lickety's Clue Page. Link to Expert:
