rururocks

nice to have her back I bet

12:38 am

VolleymomDee

keep pinching myself, cannot believe it is real.

12:38 am

VolleymomDee

She has been gone for 13 years :)

12:39 am

meliae

That is great Dee, I have the grandkids here for one more week. They are home schooled so I have been having fun teaching science and geography.

12:39 am

rururocks

wow.. dee

12:39 am

VolleymomDee

They have always lived in Indy, so pretty surprised they wanted to move back to our small town.

12:39 am

VolleymomDee

Oh, mel, how cool!

12:39 am

meliae

Wow I bet super nice then!

12:40 am

VolleymomDee

We told them if they did this, they had our permission / blessing to move back to big city at any point (in case they hate it).

12:40 am

VolleymomDee

They love boating / lake sports, and our county has over 100 lakes... so they might be content here... we'll see.... fingers crossed.

12:40 am

meliae

I found a national geographic volcano lab at the thrift store for 5 dollars so we have been studying those.

12:41 am

VolleymomDee

Great idea, and so interesting! Did you make an exploding volcano?

12:41 am

meliae

They are probably ready for some kick back life.

12:41 am

VolleymomDee

May, be, mel :)

12:41 am

meliae

Yep it is set to erupt Wednesday, after they finish the other studies about it.

12:42 am

rururocks

I would lava the volcano alone if I were you

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

She'll have quite a bit of driving for her job, so praying she stays safe on the road. That was such a fun study in social studies, and the eruption was soooo fun!

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

LOL ru!

12:43 am

rururocks

one shouldetna mess with volcanos

12:43 am

meliae

They are 8 and 11 so have to do almost 2 different sets of study

12:43 am

meliae

Lol Ruru

12:43 am

VolleymomDee

3 years diff would be a big one for that study. Two lesson plans :)

12:43 am

VolleymomDee

12:44 am

rururocks

12:44 am

flosey

yes ru, was only in Ontario for 3 weeks

12:44 am

VolleymomDee

Nice to see you; we haven't been here at the same time lately. I missed you!

12:44 am

rururocks

oh.. ok

12:45 am

VolleymomDee

Were you in Ontario at the time of the shooting?

12:45 am

flosey

was a bit rough on hubby, very busy time for him

12:45 am

rururocks

was that where the shootings were in Canada?

12:45 am

flosey

thanks Dee

12:45 am

grannyrose

cooee and g'day from me

12:45 am

VolleymomDee

Her territory is entire state, mel, so she will be making a "circuit"... lots of miles on the road :(

12:45 am

rururocks

hi gr

12:45 am

VolleymomDee

yw, flosey

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

(((rose))))

12:46 am

meliae

Science is easier to teach for both geography is 2 total different lesson plans.

12:46 am

grannyrose

{{{dee}}}

12:46 am

flosey

yes ru, shocking, my sons both worked there when it opened, weekends and thru summer, while still at school

12:46 am

rururocks

I love geography

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

Yikes, flosey...

12:47 am

rururocks

I don't understand how someone can just shoot innocent people.. it boggles my mind

12:47 am

rururocks

It's not like they're hunting with Dick Cheney and have to defend themselves

12:47 am

VolleymomDee

Me, too, ru...that kind of crazy is mind boggling.

12:47 am

flosey

too many crazies around - that's 2 for Ontario within a week

12:48 am

meliae

Oh wow, my DIL starts that soon she cleans surgical instruments and has some kind specialization where they go from hospital to hospital on a contract. Not totally sure how that works but it will be 5.00 raise plus traveling expenses.

12:48 am

rururocks

wow.. really sad

12:48 am

VolleymomDee

I can fathom the passionate shootings, occurring from angry explosions, but the innocent slaughters make no sense at all. Heart breaking.

12:48 am

rururocks

passionate shootings? what's a passionate shooting?

12:49 am

meliae

I love geography too Ruru

12:49 am

VolleymomDee

Neat, mel... our daughter works for a large orthopaedic company and has similar type of set up... Anger as result of violent domestic abuse... passionate response to that situation.

12:50 am

rururocks

oh..

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

I don't approve of shooting anyone, but I can at least get how that type of shooter got to that point... these other hideous shootings are unfathomable.

12:51 am

rururocks

I was kind of picturing being shot after sex

12:51 am

VolleymomDee

LOL

12:51 am

rururocks

:D

12:51 am

flosey

guess that means you'd die with a smile on your face?

12:51 am

rururocks

LOL

12:51 am

rururocks

or a smirk

12:52 am

VolleymomDee

Too funny

12:52 am

meliae

Lol

12:52 am

grannyrose

so long as it's not egg on your face, ruru

12:52 am

rururocks

Ru: that was fabulous Girlfriend.. yeah.. but now I have to take you out

12:53 am

VolleymomDee

sounds like a Godfather script

12:53 am

rururocks

talk about hitting the mattresses :D

12:53 am

meliae

Washington had a school shooting as well sheer madness

12:53 am

meliae

Groan

12:53 am

rururocks

yes.. that was tragic too

12:53 am

grannyrose

we went and saw the movie ' thisis where i leave you ' today. talk about a gamut of emotions.

12:54 am

flosey

wow, another school shooting, that is frightening

12:54 am

rururocks

I can't imagine killing another human being.. for any reason

12:54 am

grannyrose

??? mel, another school shooting? when?

12:54 am

rururocks

in seattle granny

12:55 am

meliae

4 students shot one died, 3 in intensive care and shooter is also deceased, they are still sorting it all out. Me neither Ruru unless it was life and death situation.

12:55 am

grannyrose

oh, dear. that is so tragic. do you know how many were hurt this time?

12:56 am

VolleymomDee

haven't heard of that one, rose. Do they have any clue why, mel?

12:56 am

meliae

A teacher 'i think' grabbed the gun it went off in the struggle and shot the kid who was shooting.

12:57 am

VolleymomDee

Was she female?

12:57 am

meliae

Yes

12:57 am

rururocks

wow

12:57 am

mkg

i feel that the world has become such a crazy place today. 25 years ago i would not have believed it if someone told me what would be with all these killings and what is going on with beheadings in the world. if you want to read something, go to the new york times and front page article on what happened in syria with the reporter etc. who was beheaded. it is hard to believe that this is really going on. are we humans worse than the animal world??????????? seems so.

12:58 am

VolleymomDee

I think I did read about her.

12:58 am

meliae

Well the school shootings are off the norm, the other stuff has been going on for years, we just hear about it more now.

12:59 am

rururocks

I agree mkg..these beheadings are totally barbaric and should be punished

1:00 am

VolleymomDee

We don't cherish life in this age... that attitude seems to be seeping everywhere. Folks get old and a burden, let's just euthanize them.... people get pregnant because they are too lazy or stupid to use birth control, so they kill the babies... too much disrespect for life in general.

1:00 am

rururocks

I hope we capture the culprits and try them appropriately

1:01 am

VolleymomDee

So do I, ru.

1:01 am

rururocks

wow.. if we euthanized old people.. babble would hardly function :D

1:02 am

rururocks

maybe euthanize them if the DON'T finish the grid :D

1:02 am

VolleymomDee

Well, I need a cookie and my bed. Busy day tomorrow. Rest well all.

1:02 am

rururocks

they don't that is

1:02 am

rururocks

night dee.. take care

1:02 am

rururocks

i'm just giddy from the ballgame

1:02 am

meliae

I really think the kids killing kids is a break down of family values, and kids not being raised to value and appreciate things, be it human or just being polite and considerate. That is why my 2 grandkid do not go to public school because of how horrible they are getting

1:02 am

VolleymomDee

you, too... stay safe on the road, ru

1:03 am

grannyrose

hope you rest well, dee. xoxox

1:03 am

meliae

Nini Dee sweet dreams

1:03 am

VolleymomDee

(((rose))), you, too. Have fun teaching them, mel!

1:03 am

grannyrose

mel, they are also not taught self-control.

1:04 am

meliae

I will Dee :)

1:05 am

meliae

They are not taught how to deal with anything disappointing, conflict resolution, nothing, it's a give it to me now bunch of kids

1:06 am

meliae

And throw a tantrum if they don't get it, then the parents give in.

1:06 am

grannyrose

exactly, mel. that is why newly weds want every thing their parents have. totally forgetting it has taken same parents nearly 40-50 years to get those things.

1:07 am

flosey

re

1:07 am

meliae

I say paddle their asses and take away there gadgets.

1:08 am

rururocks

I say take away their violent computer games and movies

1:08 am

meliae

I watched a family at the restaurant the other night 3 kids and their parents. All of them on phones, never talked to each other

1:09 am

grannyrose

true ruru. the kids use these games and watch those movies, and the violence becomes the norm for them.

1:09 am

rururocks

what restaurant allows that?

1:09 am

flosey

that is so rude

1:09 am

rururocks

they were ordering take out flosey :D

1:09 am

flosey

total disrespect

1:10 am

meliae

Think about our cartoons, how many times did coyote blow himself up, yet we didn't play with dynamite

1:10 am

rururocks

We couldn't get our hands on dynamite meliae :D

1:10 am

flosey

lol ru, trust you to find a giggle in our present day society

1:11 am

rururocks

you and mr Flosey better not be on your phones when I'm cooking dinner

1:11 am

grannyrose

speak for yourself ruru. my dad's shed would have been a terrorists heaven...lol

1:11 am

flosey

hubby won't even use a cell phone

1:11 am

meliae

They texting or playing games not talking on them it was weird. Check out kids walking home from school, they are not playing and chasing each other, they have their faces buried in their phones.

1:12 am

meliae

Little zombies walking down the street.

1:13 am

grannyrose

what makes it harder still is the fact a lot of restaurants/cafes offer free wifi.

1:13 am

flosey

that is just too silly, rose

1:14 am

grannyrose

i am so close to snatching don's phone and putting it down the nearest loo.

1:14 am

meliae

We made bombs from match heads and pipes sheesh feds would haul you away now. We only blew up stumps and stuff like that. Well mailbox one time rofl

1:15 am

meliae

Yep granny I hate it.

1:15 am

grannyrose

*giggle* mel, you rebel, you.

1:16 am

grannyrose

it is becoming more and more difficult to buy a phone that is only that...a phone

1:16 am

meliae

We got beat for it but it was worth it, he was an ornery old frat and used to scream at us kids if we made too much noise, so we took out his mailbox.

1:17 am

flosey

oh, it was a personal mailbox, I was thinking like the ones where we post letters and parcels!

1:18 am

meliae

We used to get chunks of sulphur from the railroad tracks, crush it up, roll it in toilet paper and make the most wonderful stinky so

1:18 am

meliae

Smoke bombs lol

1:18 am

meliae

Yeah it was on a wooden post way away from his house

1:19 am

meliae

Oh no flossy we were ornery bunch but not that bad, lol

1:19 am

grannyrose

back in my single parenting days, i used to have a 3 foot long wooden spoon on the dashboard of my car. once when i put it in for service, when i came to pick it up, i found all the mechanics in stitches with laughter. one of them asked...what is that...pointing to the sppon. i answered, oh haven't you ever seen a christian parents chastising tool before? that did it. they collapsed all over again.

1:20 am

flosey

lol rose, bet that story went around a few homes

1:21 am

meliae

Lol Granny, my son told his wife she was not allowed to have wooden spoons, like he ever got really beat with one. A pop on the butt was it.

1:21 am

grannyrose

well it was difficult having to drive with 3 boisterous boys in the car.

1:22 am

grannyrose

ditto mel. the threat was enough for my 3

1:22 am

meliae

Oh I bet one boy was enough for me, and these 2 grandkids get there mom going with their shenanigans lol

1:23 am

rururocks

My mom didn't threaten

1:24 am

grannyrose

mine either ruru. she just lashed out, nothing said, just a punch or hit over the head with the heel of her shoe.

1:24 am

meliae

My mom was a thrower, if you were going to mouth off you had better check to see what was in her hand first, hairbrush, spatula, and in the rare case she would take off her shoe and throw it.

1:25 am

meliae

Followed by wait till your father gets home

1:25 am

rururocks

My mom was like a powder keg

1:25 am

flosey

my mom used a stick - once sent brother out to get one for her, he dragged in a dead tree - think that was the end of the anger - that time

1:26 am

meliae

Lol Flossy

1:26 am

grannyrose

roflol, that sounds like my home when i was still married to first hubby.

1:27 am

rururocks

Glad he dudn't go out on a limb for her flosey.

1:27 am

grannyrose

my dad never hit any of us in anger. my bros sometimes got a clip around the ear for being cheeky.

1:27 am

meliae

Oh and holy hell don't smart off when she was doing your hair, I still remember getting whacked with the hairbrush.

1:28 am

flosey

my mother's eyes could shoot daggers when she was angry

1:29 am

grannyrose

dad's favourite trick at the noisy dinner tabel, was to quietly unbuckle his belt, then flick it out of the trouser stays and crack it like a stockwhip over the top of our heads. 5 kids, instant silence...lolol

1:29 am

meliae

As you can tell I had a smart mouth lol but I was never outright disrespectful to her or anyone, I would not have lived out the day.

1:29 am

meliae

Lol Granny

1:29 am

flosey

but wouldn't it have been funny if his pants fell down

1:30 am

flosey

or did he wear suspenders as well??

1:30 am

meliae

Hahaha Flossy

1:30 am

grannyrose

never thought about it like that flosey.

1:31 am

grannyrose

he was sitting down the whole time, which is why we never saw it coming.

1:32 am

meliae

I remember my one and only spanking with a belt, someone broke moms lamp (to this day no one has confessed) so they lined all 5 of us kids up no one would confess, so they took us one at a time to the kitchen to either tell or confess, we all said we did it, and we all got spanked.

1:33 am

meliae

Dad said 4 got spanked for lying and one for the broken lamp.

1:33 am

flosey

good bunch of kids Mel, backed each other

1:34 am

meliae

Yep we were a rough and tumble bunch for sure.

1:39 am

rururocks

My brother and i were beaten often

1:39 am

rururocks

With belts and ciat hangers mostly

1:40 am

rururocks

Coat hangers that is

1:42 am

grannyrose

you poor guy. that's a tough childhood for you.

1:43 am

flosey

presuming they were the wooden coat hangers, ru?

1:43 am

rururocks

I really think it is part of the story as to why i never had children

1:43 am

flosey

not wire ones?

1:43 am

rururocks

Wire coat hangers flosey

1:44 am

negativeneil

1:47 am

rururocks

She was too clever for that neil

1:47 am

grannyrose

quietish. we went and saw ' this is where i leave you '. full gamut of emotions.

1:47 am

negativeneil

How horrible. It's sad some people become parents when they just hate their own kids. :(

1:48 am

grannyrose

liz, we have had the worst storm short of a hurricane. it thundered all night, and well into the morning.

1:48 am

rururocks

True. My mom hates kids

1:48 am

Lizlin

Yup - I can see that it would bring out the emotions.

1:48 am

rururocks

True. My mom hates kids

1:48 am

Lizlin

Yes, my niece said that too - lives in Melbourne - dog was petrified. Her parents are on vacation, so she had to dog sit!

3:28 am

grannyrose

so are you vitamin d supplement?

3:29 am

grannyrose

ditto with mine, and so is don's. we both take vitamin d tabs, mine have calcium in them too.

3:29 am

sprite

she gives me a combination of vitamin D and calcium. For 2 months a double dose, and then new bloodwork. If it is better then, we go back to sustainable dose of one tablet.

3:29 am

sprite

maintenance dose, I mean. Sorry, still a bit woozy.

3:30 am

grannyrose

i knew what you meant, dear.

3:30 am

sprite

wow, sounds rather intense, that movie. You ok, honey?

3:31 am

grannyrose

i am now. a few tears, a bit of laughter, and a lot of recognition of stuff.

3:31 am

sprite

*hugs rose*

3:32 am

grannyrose

jane fonda is amazing in it. my god, her figure!!

3:32 am

grannyrose

i was absolutely green with envy.

3:32 am

sprite

lol so jelly...

3:33 am

grannyrose

the only thing she doesn't have is the skin.lots of wrinkles....meow, meow, meow

3:37 am

sprite

I like wrinkles. So much more character than those empty facelifted faces

3:38 am

grannyrose

i don't have wrinkles. the one good thing my mother gave me was her beautiful skin.at least on my face. from the chin down, don't look....lol

3:39 am

sprite

roflollllll well I don't have many wrinkles either yet, but that is because I fill up my skin so beautifully, lol. Being fat has its perks.

3:39 am

grannyrose

yeah....roflol

3:41 am

sprite

was stressy, I found out that my love took our car to work when I wanted to get the car key and leave... so pretty late to take the bike instead.

3:42 am

grannyrose

oh, dear. how frustrating for you. didn't he know about your appointment?

3:43 am

sprite

he forgot. Had told him, but you know how that goes, lol. Just rescheduled my physiotherapy for friday. That was this afternoon. Sigh. But his work car didn't start this morning so he had to do something.

3:44 am

sprite

was secretly glad our doctor always gives you time, and is often a little behind schedule.

3:44 am

sprite

ohhhh my favorite thing is in the grid!

3:45 am

grannyrose

why couldn't he have ridden the bike?

3:46 am

sprite

lol, way too far for the bicycle. He works in Amsterdam. Would never have made it in time.

3:47 am

grannyrose

ahhh. okay, how about a motorised bike for him....lol

3:48 am

sprite

lol yeah. We tried that, years ago. When he had his 3rd accident, NOT his fault, I told him to get rid of the flipping thing and take a train or a car. Too dangerous.

3:48 am

grannyrose

or a small powered scooter for you? i can just see you buzzing in and out of traffic....

3:49 am

sprite

Hell on wheels, they'd call me, lol. Yeah, I could see myself do that too. Well who knows.

3:51 am

grannyrose

sprite, are you on a disability pension?

3:51 am

sprite

yes dear, a full one

3:52 am

grannyrose

is there any where you could go for a scooter to try? like your local council?

3:53 am

sprite

yeah I could. Am just holding that off as long as I can. Better for the ole body to ride the bike for now.

3:54 am

sprite

rose, does an extremely low vitD belong to the whole css thing?

3:55 am

grannyrose

i don't think so. it links to not enough sunshine. people in england have village paths which the whole village uses to saunter along after a meal etc.

3:56 am

grannyrose

over here we have had a campaign called slip, slop, slap. it has worked so well, that we now have a whole generation lacking vitamin d.

3:56 am

sprite

yeah I know that, was just wondering. Just like I seem to burn through medication faster than the average person. My doctor actually gave me permission to experiment with the dosage of the lyrica myself.

3:57 am

sprite

I take 4 tablets a day now, and I can go to 8 if needed. I think I would benefit from 6. One extra intake in the middle of the day.

3:58 am

grannyrose

as kids we spent massive amounts of time, outdoors, in the sunshine. no protection.

3:58 am

sprite

what is slip, slop, slap??

3:58 am

grannyrose

but since that campaign, we all cover up, wear hats, and use sun-screen 15+

3:59 am

grannyrose

ahhh. slip on a t-shirt, slop on the sun-screen, slap on a hat

3:59 am

sprite

ah right. Yes, skin cancer is a serious thing. Very aggressive. But we need exposure to sun as well.

4:00 am

grannyrose

it was aimed at lowering the incidence of melanoma and skin cancers.

4:00 am

grannyrose

exactly. there has to be a balance some where.

4:01 am

sprite

yeah, very good, I think. But a bit of exposure is still needed, for that darn vitamin D at the very least. And I have been taking supplements, rose, that is the weird thing. Guess I need the calcium too.

4:02 am

sprite

brb, doorbell

4:03 am

grannyrose

our anti-cancer council has taken a massive back flip since then. my gp advised at least 10 minutes sunshine every day.

4:05 am

sprite

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{rose}}}}}}}}}}}}}} thank you thank you thank you :D
Oh that is so sweet of you. *hugs*

4:06 am

grannyrose

lololol.....happy unbirthday!!

4:06 am

sprite

*giggles* Goodies :D That would be 5spice and allspice, right?

4:06 am

sprite

aw and such a sweet card. Thanks, dear one.

4:07 am

grannyrose

yup. enjoy sweetie

4:07 am

grannyrose

my handwriting is getting worse. i hope it is still legible.

4:07 am

sprite

totally legible, no problem there

4:08 am

grannyrose

i am totally loving this. i had hoped we would be chatting when it arrived. xoxox

4:08 am

sprite

it had actually arrived earlier, but the neighbour who took it for me was away for the weekend and forgot.

4:08 am

sprite

she just came to my door with it :) Told her her timing couldn't have been more perfect.

4:09 am

grannyrose

*ear to ear grin here *

4:09 am

sprite

oh that wonderful feeling of an unexpected sweet gift. I have this huge smile on my face.

4:09 am

sprite

snap, lol

4:14 am

grannyrose

like when i received my bracelet. i hope it brings you much joy, dear.

4:15 am

sprite

it will, rose. You will be with me in the kitchen whenever I cook now :D Will buy me two pretty containers.

4:16 am

sprite

oh and I will tell Rob how he could use them too... he will love it.

4:16 am

grannyrose

these spices will open up a whole new world for you, dear. just a little warning. the chinese 5spice is quite strong. but knowing how the dutch love their licorice....

4:17 am

sprite

everything in moderation, lol. Except sex.

4:17 am

grannyrose

lol....except sex, of course.

4:18 am

sprite

yeah. No fun in moderation there, grin.

4:19 am

sprite

yeah, licorice is good. We have hundreds of different kinds here.

4:21 am

grannyrose

and the dvd, dear. do you have a copy? if so, please feel free to sell/gift it on.

4:22 am

sprite

I can't wait to watch it. I didn't have it, no. I just hope it will play on our dvd player. But if not, I can convert it. Am gonna settle in with my knitting to watch it :D

4:22 am

grannyrose

we checked and got a dvd for your region.

4:23 am

sprite

oh brilliant! Then it will play without a doubt. Am so looking forward to watching it.

4:23 am

sprite

such a wonderful cast, that movie.

4:23 am

grannyrose

and i am tipping you are going to laugh at all the same lines/scenes as i did. looking forward to your critique.

4:24 am

gran

pr 7/32 and pr 8/45?

4:24 am

sprite

oh I don't doubt it. Have you ever seen the series Coupling?

4:24 am

grannyrose

gran, large grassy plain and its plural.

4:24 am

sprite

hello gran, open grass plains and someone in jail.

4:25 am

grannyrose

no sprite.

4:26 am

sprite

I recommend it. You can find some episodes on youtube, I believe. But there is this one scene... picture this.

4:26 am

grannyrose

sprite, just hold this thought...green bananas

4:27 am

grannyrose

i hope the rest of your family enjoy it too

4:27 am

sprite

someone talking through a sock puppet. Somebody else who gets so irritated by that that they rip off that sock from her arm. And she, quick as can be, pulling her arm inside her blouse and her hand out of the headopening.

4:27 am

sprite

will do, rose :D

4:28 am

grannyrose

oh, my. it sounds hilarious

4:28 am

sprite

we all cried from laughter at that one. Replayed it a hundred times, lol

4:28 am

sprite

and the dialogues are to die for. So smart.

4:30 am

grannyrose

there is an episode of fawlty towers, which i have to say is my absolute fave. ' mrs richardson ' i swear, i nearly laugh myself into an asthma attack every time i see it.

4:30 am

sprite

never seen that series. Heard it is fabulous.

4:31 am

Dachef

"You can see the sea. Its over there between the land and the sky."

4:31 am

grannyrose

darling, dinner is nearly ready. xoxox

4:31 am

sprite

enjoy :D

4:31 am

sprite

hi Dachef, and lol

4:32 am

grannyrose

yes dachef, and ...what no herds of wildebeests? and...is this a piece of your brain?

4:32 am

Dachef

Classic

4:36 am

sukee

Good morning, up doing laundry again.

4:36 am

sprite

ain't it an endless task, lol. Hi sukee :)

4:37 am

sukee

And I always put it off until I don't have a choice.

4:37 am

sprite

I had an empty laundrybasket. Then my daughter cleaned up her room.

4:42 am

sukee

I keep wanting that biting fish to be there..

4:42 am

sprite

so close and yet so far

4:44 am

sprite

and fireflies. Cute grid. Those musical biggies were a doozy though.

4:44 am

sprite

anything I can help with before I go?

4:45 am

sukee

Not yet, still working on my own for a bit. Thanks :)

4:45 am

sukee

Down to put laundry in the dryer

4:45 am

sprite

ok :) Have fun! Bye all, may you all have a blessed day and a peaceful night.

5:35 am

crosshair

good morning everyone:)

5:38 am

sukee

Hi Crossy, was away for a bit

5:38 am

sukee

Doing laundry, making breakfast.

5:38 am

sukee

still boiling an egg :)

5:39 am

crosshair

ugh... don't say laundry:(

5:41 am

sukee

Yep... such a 4 letter word

5:43 am

sukee

So, I get up early, put it in, come upstairs have coffee, go down put it in dryer, come upstairs, finish coffee, take shower, make breakfast, then downstairs to pick it up at 7 and then get ready to go out to gym.

5:44 am

sukee

And meanwhile worry about the cat who seems to want to poop but can't.

5:46 am

crosshair

poor kitty

5:46 am

grannyrose

5:47 am

sukee

Hi Rose.

5:47 am

crosshair

((rose))

5:47 am

sukee

Today is the day that the Ford's say goodbye to Toronto... we hope...

5:47 am

grannyrose

crossy, you would have been so proud of me. the bully was in chog, and i kept on chatting like it wasn't.

5:48 am

sukee

wtg

5:48 am

grannyrose

thanx sukee.

5:48 am

sukee

I don't think I have seen the bully.

5:49 am

crosshair

best way to handle it, rose:))

5:49 am

grannyrose

sukee, i am not going to influence you dear. it needs all the friends it can get.

5:49 am

crosshair

If we are all so evil and vile, why keep coming in, why not just lurk?

5:50 am

crosshair

Though I wish the bully well.

5:50 am

grannyrose

*shaking head* i don't know crossy. the perversity of humans...lol

5:51 am

sukee

Just like the trolls on Facebook.

5:51 am

grannyrose

me too crossy. it's so sad, isn't it? it could have so many friends, but it chooses to alienate us.

5:52 am

grannyrose

*giggle* i was just thinking of the expression on its face when it realises everyone it chats with, is doing so at my wish.

5:53 am

grannyrose

cro9ssy, are you able to chat with it? or has it burned its bridges with you too.

5:54 am

crosshair

I burnt that bridge

5:54 am

grannyrose

*sigh* you would have been such a positive influence on it too.

5:54 am

crosshair

decided it was time to move on and did not net the drama-in-a-teapot

5:55 am

crosshair

I held out for a long, long time, rose

5:55 am

grannyrose

as did i, crossy.

5:56 am

grannyrose

oh, crossy, did i tell you?? the approval for my pension has come through. not much in the way of money, but the card allows me access to a lot of reduced fees etc.

5:58 am

crosshair

very nice, rose. it is often not about the cash as we know, but all the perks that come with it. Do you get help with rx costs as well?

5:58 am

grannyrose

plus i have the senior's card, which a lot of businesses recognise.

5:59 am

crosshair

I had a temp card once due to injury and though it I managed to get all my dental work that had been pending for the last decacde taken care of:)

5:59 am

grannyrose

yes crossy. i now pay nothing for meds. and dr's and physio are at much reduced rates.

5:59 am

crosshair

very nice:)

6:00 am

crosshair

We are allowed 26 physio visits/year though our standard health card

6:00 am

crosshair

I know once every two weeks is not enough, but it is better than nothing

6:01 am

crosshair

My beloved is on permanent disability so I get my drugs through her plan, so I cannot complain.

6:02 am

crosshair

and one pair of glasses every 2 years

6:03 am

grannyrose

oh, i forgot that benefit...i need new glasses...

6:03 am

crosshair

Yes, make sure you update your spectacles:)

6:04 am

grannyrose

once i have the actual card in my hand, i will flash it every where....lol

6:04 am

crosshair

I think you pay a token ammount for the frames like 5-10 dollars and the lenses are covered

6:05 am

grannyrose

i have been able to use the same frames for the last 6 years.

6:06 am

crosshair

I learned that I have a funny eye condition when I had my first exam. My eyes operate totally independant of each other to a certain degree. Now that does not cause any real issues, but it has the effect of making 3-D movies totally useless to me.. I saw 2 and wondered what all the fuss was about lol.

6:06 am

grannyrose

i have some over-the-counter magnifiers which are quite good. cannot drive in them, but okay for reading.

6:07 am

grannyrose

good grief, crossy.

6:07 am

crosshair

I have rx readers only now and just for one eye--the other lens is clear glass

6:08 am

grannyrose

amazing isn't it? how each of us develops so differently.

6:08 am

crosshair

regular pharmacy readers were straining the good eye so it is a good thing I had it checked out

6:08 am

crosshair

it is indeed

6:10 am

grannyrose

sukeee?? hun?? please...i hope you don't feel left out. we loves ya!

6:10 am

crosshair

I think she had to grab her laundry at 0;700 then head to the gym

6:10 am

grannyrose

darn...sukee has gone. :-(

6:11 am

crosshair

Off to get all healthy:)

6:11 am

grannyrose

aaahhh, that explains it then.

6:11 am

crosshair

I must go put some tea on,brb

6:11 am

grannyrose

xoxox crossy. and me also...well not healthy...bed-time

6:15 am

sukee

I'm back :)

6:16 am

sukee

Have a few minutes to kill

6:17 am

MimiCat

Morning, everyone! Going through "cat wars" here...found a stray yesterday and put up signs so hope this one will be reunited with his mama. This is one of the most beautiful and soft cats I've ever seen and he's very affectionate and engaging. I'm sure he actually belongs to someone here since he wasn't at all dirty and didn't seem to be starving.

Nice to see you too, ((Liz))

6:53 am

Hello, Trif :-)

6:53 am

Lizlin

Which explains why i usually just say hi all!

6:53 am

Lizlin

Hi trif

6:53 am

bichon

Babbling on the job Trif? Brings back memories of the old days

6:53 am

Trifioso

hello to everyone

6:54 am

Lizlin

If I'd known about babble when I was teaching, I think there'd have been a lot of silent reading time in class!

6:54 am

zoozzoom

lol

6:55 am

jwr

okay, Bichon? Or a classic b&w tv show about a secret agent (Patrick McGoohan) waking up in a strange village ....

6:55 am

Trifioso

hahaha liz....better than that - I am watching over an empty library this period...hit the ground running full tilt next period, but it is nice to have this quiet prep time

6:55 am

Lizlin

Sounds good, trif

6:56 am

howdy Liz, ((mimi))

High quality in those olden days, huh

6:57 am

MimiCat

Liz, can't remember if you were here last week when I announced my daughter's marriage.

6:57 am

Lizlin

No! congrats, Mimi - that's such lovely news :)

6:57 am

jwr

Something sad about an empty library, T -- nobody reads anymore.

6:57 am

zoozzoom

Congrats to your, daughter, Mimi!

6:58 am

Trifioso

I love it in here. I would be a librarian in a second....

6:58 am

bichon

hint for the ri 7/8, pls

6:58 am

jwr

congratulations on your new in-law role, Mimi

6:58 am

MimiCat

He's upset that it wasn't romantic...they bought a house on Monday, needed her income to qualify for the loan, the VA wouldn't do it unless they were married, so Wed. they went to the justice of the peace. Now he's looking for an engagement ring. None of the women in my family do anything in a conventional way!

6:59 am

MimiCat

The funny thing is she's exactly the age I was when I married her father...at a justice of the peace!

6:59 am

zoozzoom

three letter word for tear + 3rd 2nd vowel + opp of yes plural.

6:59 am

Trifioso

oh, that IS funny mimi! Congrats!

6:59 am

zoozzoom

Sorry..best I can do.

6:59 am

MimiCat

They're considering having another ceremony, though.

6:59 am

Lizlin

Conventional is boring - I think it's lovely that he wants to do the romance now. Can do romantic wedding without the stress

7:00 am

Trifioso

worked for me zooz....

7:00 am

MimiCat

They've been together 3 years, living together 2 of those. The house they bought is GORGEOUS.

7:01 am

Lizlin

They're lucky to have got the house - that can sometimes be a real stumbling block for young people starting out.

7:01 am

MimiCat

I agree, Liz...never been keen on going with the flow myself...always seem to be totally going against the grain...but I like it that way.

7:01 am

zoozzoom

Glad you got it, Tif!

7:01 am

MimiCat

He's a former Marine so they got a VA loan at 3.8%!!

7:01 am

Lizlin

Me too - thanks, zooz.

7:01 am

Trifioso

nbt, nbs, and duty calls....good day all. If car.eeyore wanders in, do tell her I was here, please?

7:02 am

Last message before I get back to work -- Tri, I grew up going to the NY public library and used to dream about having it all to myself. .... that's it, hi and g'bye all.

7:02 am

Bye Trif!!

7:02 am

Trifioso

Im right there with you, jmr....

Welcome, Bichon.

7:03 am

MollyL

It's sad the way we are losing libraries due to e-readers

7:03 am

Lizlin

have a good day trif and jwr

7:04 am

zoozzoom

Thankfully here the libraries are always used and never empty.So happy about that.

7:05 am

zoozzoom

This might sound weird but hey ho. I love the smell of books.

7:05 am

zoozzoom

New ones not used ones!

7:05 am

MimiCat

I agree, Molly. Books provide a more tactile and sensory experience...the feel of the book, the smell of the book...guess I'm dating myself!

7:05 am

Lizlin

That's true Molly and I still love books but I also very much love reading on m iPad.

7:06 am

MollyL

Trif, you should have a pet named Ri7. It would go so well with Primo, Secondo and Tertiare

7:06 am

MimiCat

I write that before I saw your post, zooz...we're definitely "on the same page!"

7:06 am

zoozzoom

LOL very good, Mimi!

7:06 am

crosshair

howdy trif:) was off getting a tea:)

7:06 am

MollyL

Not weird at all Zoom, I love the smell of books too

7:06 am

MimiCat

Ruru would have liked that one, I think!

7:07 am

zoozzoom

I do prefer hardback over paperbacks but that is just me.

7:07 am

rubyfoo

hello hello

7:07 am

Lizlin

Me too - but I also like the convenience of the iPad when I travel.

7:07 am

MimiCat

Ruby!

7:07 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs, Ruby - thanks for your email

7:07 am

zoozzoom

Hello, ruby :-)

7:07 am

bichon

hi ruby

7:07 am

rubyfoo

It looks like most of the gang is here! Yay

7:07 am

MollyL

It's funny, I have never found it inconvenient to have a paperback in my purse.

7:08 am

People will probably just get actual books for the works they consider most important.

7:08 am

Lizlin

I used to take 4 large paperback with me on a 4 week holiday - took up a fair bit of my luggage allowance!

7:08 am

MimiCat

I always carry one in mine, too, Molly...especially since I take the bus.

7:08 am

MollyL

Oh I see Liz. I don't read that much when I'm on vacation.

7:08 am

Lizlin

That should have said a 2 week holiday!

7:09 am

zoozzoom

It amazes me how much stuff ladies can stash into their handbags!

Thankfully, our new-ish public library is one of the cornerstones of our community. There are book clubs going on there, writers clubs, kids reading groups, local art presentations as well as full computer facillities and e-book loans just to name a few things. Our town council also made the wise choice to store all the towns archival records there in original document form as well as digital copies for anyone to reference at any time.

7:10 am

Lizlin

I used to read more when I did lazy holidays - lots of sitting by the pool but now tend to want to see more stuff and sit much less. But still read in the morning and evening.

7:10 am

Lizlin

I still think libraries are a great institution and hope they continue for many more year.s

7:11 am

zoozzoom

Nice to hear it is being put to good use, Crossy :-)

7:11 am

crosshair

it is indeed. it also has a "green roof" that has solar collectors and a full tranquil reading garden with benches

7:11 am

rubyfoo

When I used to travel, I carried whatever books I could read in the allotted time and then give them away. I love giving away books

7:12 am

crosshair

though that part is pretty well done for the season

7:12 am

Lizlin

Love the sound of a reading garden :)

7:12 am

zoozzoom

ooh I like the sound of the quiet garden area.Wonderful!

7:12 am

MimiCat

On a different note, I really let my ex have it full force on the phone yesterday. Won't mention content but I'd been saving that stuff up for 30 years!! I feel somehow "lighter" today.

7:12 am

zoozzoom

Snap, Liz! lol

7:12 am

Lizlin

That's a good idea Ruby but I tend to hoard books - hate giving them away.

7:12 am

Lizlin

lol

7:12 am

rubyfoo

Whenever we have houseguests, I encourage them to read many of the books I've read and tell them they can take them away with them

7:12 am

Lizlin

WTG Mimi - liberated woman :)

7:13 am

MollyL

Mimi is emotionally purged

7:13 am

crosshair

nothing like a good venting

7:13 am

zoozzoom

Same here, Liz. I have every book I have ever bought.Would never give them away. I just can't find it in me to.

7:13 am

rubyfoo

When the post office offered M-bag service from the US, my sister used to send me 10-11 books/month, so we have a huge number of books in the house.

7:13 am

zoozzoom

I am proud of my very own little library!

7:13 am

crosshair

I cannot part with a book--loan them, yes, but part with them--sadly not.

7:14 am

Lizlin

I culled a fair number when we moved here but still have a lot of them.

7:14 am

MimiCat

I've been a really good sport for a really long time...decided that now I'll be raging bitch for awhile.

7:14 am

Lizlin

I now prefer not to loan - I've lost too many books that way!

7:14 am

rubyfoo

My husband has his own library upstairs. Mine is a bit more spread out....

7:14 am

Lizlin

Even when I've put my name in them!

7:14 am

MollyL

That would make a good t-shirt Mimi

7:15 am

zoozzoom

I also have a 1st editions shelve..lol

7:15 am

rubyfoo

I keep books wherever I may end up, so will frequently have more than one going

7:15 am

crosshair

5 years ago, I gave my brother two very used books, now I miss them on my bookshelf:(

7:15 am

zoozzoom

LOL, Molly

7:15 am

Lizlin

:(

7:15 am

MimiCat

I just ordered one that says "I've learned so much from my mistakes I think I'll make some more".

7:16 am

Lizlin

lol, Mimi

7:16 am

Lizlin

fins

7:16 am

zoozzoom

I would change that for me..to I know i'll make some more..lol

7:16 am

MimiCat

A friend of mine had one made for me that says "Be very careful or I'll put you in my book!"

7:16 am

Lizlin

Sorry - the sad thing is, could've sworn I entered that ages ago!

7:16 am

zoozzoom

Congrats, Liz!

7:16 am

crosshair

potato pancakes with fresh sour cream or apple sauce for dipping is on the menu for brekkies today:) Come and git some!

7:17 am

zoozzoom

Oh OK not finished yet then..lol

7:17 am

Lizlin

Sounds yummy, crossy

7:17 am

rubyfoo

My beautiful boy just came into the studio to visit; he is starting to get his winter coat so looks fluffier and whiter and is very soft again.

7:17 am

MimiCat

I'm having the second half of a meatball sandwich for breakfast, crossy!

7:17 am

MollyL

"Being a good sport" will only get you so far in life.

7:17 am

crosshair

have a pile of leftover tatties to use:)

7:17 am

Lizlin

But I'm heading out of here now - 20 left for tomorrow. enjoy your days :)

7:17 am

crosshair

lol, mimi

7:17 am

rubyfoo

Have you ever made sweet potato pancakes, crossy? Also good with sour cream

7:17 am

crosshair

tc liz

7:18 am

zoozzoom

Nice to see you, Liz. sleep well.

7:18 am

rubyfoo

bye Liz

7:18 am

MimiCat

Yes, Molly...you can't be a doormat unless you lie down...I'm standing tall now!

7:18 am

MollyL

I make sweet potato yeast rolls that are very good

7:18 am

MimiCat

Bye, Liz!

7:18 am

zoozzoom

Need to get some food now. Thanks for chatting about books.Really enjoyed that. Toodle pips for now.

7:19 am

crosshair

I make a very basic potato pancake, ruby, some egg added, a bit of flour, make a dredge with herbs and spices then fry it all golden brown in peanut oil . Sour cream dip has diced green onions in it and the apple sauce is my own from a bag I bought last week

7:19 am

MollyL

And pumpkin pancakes with maple/apple butter syrup

7:19 am

rubyfoo

I would love those, Molly. How about sweet potato pie? I've never made it, but had it in Miami

7:19 am

MimiCat

Bye, zooz!

7:19 am

MollyL

Oh my God, sweet potato pie is to die for

7:20 am

rubyfoo

I used to do a lot of baking but since Burt doesn't eat any sweets or care much about baked goods, I've stopped unless we have houseguests

7:20 am

MimiCat

...with toasted marshmallows on top...

7:21 am

rubyfoo

When I planned this kitchen, I put in granite counters for baking.

7:21 am

rubyfoo

And made everything 2 inches lower for me!

7:21 am

crosshair

I can take or leave sweet taters

7:21 am

MimiCat

I'm not much for sweets, either...I love salty things. And since I got my Celtic sea salt, I really love it.

7:22 am

crosshair

I use a coarse Mediterranean sea salt

7:22 am

crosshair

I find I use less salt overall if i grind it as I need it

7:22 am

MollyL

*Sniff* I hate the thought of a great but unused kitchen. I know someone who has a state of the art kitchen and rarely cooks in it. How sad is that?

7:22 am

rubyfoo

they're better for you than white ones (more vitamins, less starch), but I eat a lot of both kinds

7:22 am

rubyfoo

I still cook, just don't bake much

7:22 am

MimiCat

Same thing, crossy...mine are from France. The minerals in them are very healthy and there's less sodium than regular table salt. The taste is amazing, though...I like the coarse as well.

7:23 am

rubyfoo

Trust me, the kitchen gets used!!!!

7:23 am

crosshair

I am still gasping over the fact that burt does not care for fresh baked bread and such!

7:23 am

MollyL

I am always flabbergasted at anyone who does not care for fresh baked bread.

7:24 am

MimiCat

I got a great loaf of sourdough last week, crossy, and cut some in chunks and placed french opinion soup and cheese on it and baked...yum!

7:24 am

rubyfoo

When my son was a baby (long long ago), and before he had teeth, I used to bake bread and put on honey butter and he would happily "gum" it

7:24 am

crosshair

I like making soda bread, easy to do and take less time

7:25 am

crosshair

mm.. sounds delish, mimi

7:25 am

MollyL

I love my bread machine. It takes a lot of the work out of making bread.

7:25 am

crosshair

I have been debating a bread machine for years

7:26 am

MimiCat

I used to feel that way about my pasta machine.

7:26 am

MollyL

Mimi! Love the typo : D French opinion soup

7:26 am

crosshair

does yours use the granulated yeast in an auto-dispenser, molly?

7:26 am

rubyfoo

I used to like the hole process, even the kneading. My son has a bread machine and says it's wonderful

7:26 am

MimiCat

ROFL...Freudian slip?

7:26 am

rubyfoo

whole* sorry

7:26 am

MollyL

I thought you bought a bread machine. I remember seeing pictures of the model you got. At least I thought I did.

7:26 am

MimiCat

...or Freudian sip...

7:26 am

crosshair

I just read through the tyops these days.

7:27 am

crosshair

Nope, came on the edge of getting a nice panisonic model but never went through with it

7:27 am

crosshair

typos

7:27 am

MollyL

Ruby, I never seemed to get the kneading part down. That is why I love the bread machine.

7:28 am

rubyfoo

Must be all those years of art school!

7:28 am

rubyfoo

I even used to make Indian breads

7:28 am

MimiCat

OK, kids...gotta get some work done. HAGD and hugs all around.

7:28 am

crosshair

tc mimi

7:28 am

MollyL

Well there you go Ruby. I was never much good at wedging clay either.

7:29 am

rubyfoo

I could wedge but couldn't turn, always wound up with my elbows in it.

7:29 am

MollyL

My ceramics were a laughing stock in high school.
: D

7:30 am

rubyfoo

I used to make ceramic heads, sculptural, rather than round since I couldn't do the rest. I didn't have ceramics until grad school but sold most of the pieces I made

7:31 am

rubyfoo

I think I am too short to use a potters' wheel

7:31 am

crosshair

brb, i have some oatmeal-chocolate chip muffins that are supposed to be baking..

7:31 am

MollyL

I find it very sad that music and art are falling by the wayside in the lower schools

7:33 am

rubyfoo

Absolutely, generations of children are being "educated" with no appreciation of music or art.

7:34 am

doseffing

... I question if they're even being educated ... the numeracy skills of many kids getting out of elementary school aren't worthy of the word "skills"

7:35 am

rubyfoo

I agree, dose, and it's evidently no better in France. Everybody complains that the children don't know how to write or spell correctly

7:42 am

doseffing

... generally the kid's parents don't ask to see if homework is done or check that it's done so the kids know that they don't need to do it ... so they don't learn ... and the parents complain ... sorry, that' s my rant

7:42 am

crosshair

My son was rushed through high school , so, since he was just laying around the house and doing nothing but eating me out of house and home, I sent him back to school.

7:43 am

doseffing

... sure ... but you're an exception

7:43 am

rubyfoo

I taught art for a long time and, since there was no curriculum and I could do as I pleased, I developed an art history course fo elementary school students

7:44 am

doseffing

... generally the parents are too busy to raise their kids so they want the schools to do it ... except schools can't ...

7:45 am

doseffing

... now everything is on the curriculum ... except the provincial curriculum for math was drafted by a history major ... who knows who drafted the histroy curriculum ... and the kids aren't interested anyways because it's not related to their jobs ... at McDonalds

7:46 am

crosshair

try and pay a mortgage with a McJob...

7:47 am

doseffing

... heavens ... try to buy a car ... or do anything which takes time like start a family ... ... those things just aren't going to happen ... lordy I'm pessimistic today

7:48 am

rubyfoo

quick, dose, I'll bake you some bread!

7:49 am

doseffing

... I'll be right over to eat it

7:49 am

crosshair

mmm,fresh baked bread:))

7:49 am

rubyfoo

you'd be welcome!

7:49 am

crosshair

my muffins will be out of the oven in 15 min..common over:)

7:50 am

rubyfoo

I thought I smelled something wonderful.....

7:50 am

crosshair

I use the jumbo 6 muffin tray:) No tiny muffins in crossy's house!

7:51 am

crosshair

...problem is I need to make three trays:)

7:51 am

rubyfoo

I'm feeling inspired; I think I'll bake something this afternoon

7:51 am

doseffing

... sorry ... I eat them too fast ... need small ones or I put on too much weight

7:51 am

doseffing

... excellent news

7:52 am

MollyL

Ruby, you can make cookie dough, freeze the dough in small scoops and bake as many as you want at a time.

7:53 am

rubyfoo

and then I would eat them all

7:53 am

doseffing

... and the problem with that is ... ?

7:53 am

MollyL

Oh and that would be a problem, why?

7:54 am

rubyfoo

hahah

7:54 am

doseffing

... the only problem that I can think of is you'd eat them all and then would have to bake some more ... still don't see a problem

7:55 am

MollyL

That is what I love about this place. It runs the whole gamut. 18 giant muffins to being afraid to eat cookies.

7:55 am

MollyL

Or no milk, no milk might be a problem.

7:55 am

rubyfoo

Molly, you know I'm a binge eater! lol

7:56 am

MollyL

Oh yes Ruby, I forgot about your eating disorder (among your many other problems, according to Mr. Judgmental)

7:57 am

rubyfoo

I can always count on you, Molly! I would send you a hg but \i'm not much for hugging....

lol! turns out everybody feels that way!

9:00 am

Judi

The pursuit of money... yada yada yada.

9:01 am

MollyL

I could forego my pursuit of money...but I'm not feeling much like a "lily of the field" lately

9:03 am

Judi

It ain't cheap to be a lily of the field. The fertilizer cost alone could break the bank.

9:33 am

Judi

Breaktime. Gotta get a nibble.

9:48 am

For the first time ever (I think) I had a Â£20 sandwich at lunch. Mind you, I don't often have a lobster club at lunch. It made a change from canteen food

9:49 am

stevedallas

ri8 clue plese

9:50 am

stevedallas

please

9:53 am

stevedallas

nm got it

9:53 am

mkg

i need that clue please.

9:54 am

stevedallas

ri+ sounds like a stringed instrument and pl

10:00 am

MollyL

I always think of that as a keyboard instrument (yes, I know it has strings too)

10:00 am

rolin

oooh matty...where did you have that?

10:15 am

crosshair

a 20 pound sandwich??!! omg!. Do the exchange rate and that is about $35.00 CAD! That better have been one fine sarnie!

10:17 am

MollyL

Yeah, I can't say I've ever paid $35.00 for a sandwich.

10:20 am

crosshair

I normally do not take much notice on such thing, but I saw that the Can/U.S rate was just about par yesterday. Big difference from 20 years ago when we were almost paying $1.50 for a U.S dollar.

10:21 am

crosshair

Makes on-line ordering much easier.

10:27 am

crosshair

I remember when the ski-tour buses used to come out of Michigan and the bus drive would wave 4 U.S 50 dollar bills around like a dog treat trying to get the best exchange rate. The bank rate at that time was about 40%, so I offered 20% more diesel and the other 20% was mine:) Better this way. It grew tiresome them thinking you were Pavlov's dog awaiting a command.

10:29 am

crosshair

Glad to be out of the petroleum business altogether:)

10:30 am

crosshair

and of course they would want a receipt for $300.00 to give back to their office...

10:32 am

crosshair

anyways.. flashback is over and back to the grid

10:35 am

crosshair

Last name of a famous singer is in the grid. used to work a lot with Steve Goodman.. John ***** name him for a free crossy brunch! lol

crosshair

Like I said, MLF, i would love 30 minutes with your clogged machine:) You have so many issues going on that unless you can get a computer guru in your door, i recommend you just save what you wish on a flash key, wipe the hard drive, reset everything and re-install your OS..

11:07 am

MLFAN17

what is a flash key?

11:08 am

crosshair

UBB key

11:08 am

You can get the for 8 dollars for 5 gig at wally-mart

11:09 am

11:09 am

MLFAN17

thats what i think too computer is not much good and hubby is having different issues then i am as well

11:09 am

crosshair

then start saving important stuff

11:10 am

MLFAN17

where or how would i save anything? i cant een get into my email to get photos i have on an email there? Not much important stuff that i know of for either of us so..but it is an option of course;)

11:10 am

MollyL

You can save it all to a cloud drive and then it's there from whatever computer you work from.

11:11 am

crosshair

that is an option as well.. though cloud has proven less that secure of late..

11:11 am

MollyL

You can get free cloud space through Amazon.

11:11 am

MLFAN17

Separate right Molly?

11:12 am

MLFAN17

i have heard of it and i do know what it is

11:12 am

crosshair

You have to decide what is of dire importance. if you can get to it, fine. if not you will have to call in a tech before you wipe the hard drive

11:13 am

MLFAN17

true cross:)

11:14 am

crosshair

Most newer computers (less than 4 years old) have a re-set to factory settings option and you can use that when you are ready

1:28 pm

periwinkle

bbl

1:51 pm

penquis

obviously the creators of Enable never watched Law and Order....perp is a word!

2:00 pm

MollyL

It won't take perp, but it will take repo. The Enable Word List is a farce.

2:00 pm

penquis

too true....

2:25 pm

mattygroves

Too many PR words

2:33 pm

penquis

yes, working on those now...

2:33 pm

mattygroves

Just so many - and the Rs look a nightmare as well. Siigh :) How's you, Pen?

2:34 pm

penquis

fine here....you?

2:34 pm

mattygroves

Muddling along! Shall go and see my OH play music tonight in an excellent pub

2:35 pm

2:36 pm

mattygroves

Nice!

2:38 pm

mattygroves

Onto the RAs - have four, need four

2:39 pm

penquis

there are two ri words i cannot find...will have to return to them later...

2:41 pm

mattygroves

RA done - onto RE

2:43 pm

penquis

only have those two elusive ri words to find....

2:43 pm

mattygroves

I doubt I have them, else I'd help. I only have seven of those, and the longest I have is six letters

2:44 pm

penquis

i am missing the ri 7/8....i think it's a combo but i am not sure...

2:49 pm

mattygroves

Looking - but not hopeful

2:52 pm

penquis

ty...

2:57 pm

mattygroves

Found it!

2:57 pm

mattygroves

D'ya want a clue?

2:58 pm

penquis

yes, please....put me out of my misery...

2:58 pm

mattygroves

OK - ri + foodstuff with pastry (apple, for example) + not yes and plural

2:59 pm

penquis

ty....could have looked forever for those....i am done!

3:00 pm

mattygroves

Yaaay! I have 6 left and about 15 minutes to find them

3:00 pm

penquis

it doesn't take perp but it takes that word...go figure...

3:00 pm

mattygroves

I know - gawd knows what it means

3:01 pm

mattygroves

It doesn't take internet. Go figure indeed

3:01 pm

mattygroves

3 left

3:01 pm

penquis

it's a musical term referring to the full orchestra...

3:01 pm

mattygroves

I shall try to use it in conversation

3:02 pm

penquis

yes....impress your friends!

3:02 pm

mattygroves

two left

3:03 pm

mattygroves

My mother was so upset when she found out etui was pronounced 'etwee' and not 'e-tooee'

3:03 pm

mattygroves

Fireworks! I can go to the music with an easy mind

3:07 pm

MollyL

Oh, too bad for me. I don't have any friends that would be impressed by a word like ri8

3:09 pm

penquis

congrats!

3:16 pm

MollyL

OH? Old husband?

3:20 pm

penquis

that was my guess...

3:21 pm

hego

ri 8 in Italian also refers to stuufed foods.

3:22 pm

hego

like pollo (chiken) ri 7.

3:22 pm

hego

chicken

3:23 pm

penquis

ah...did not know that....

3:24 pm

hego

:)

3:24 pm

hego

I can see how that would relate to the full (stuffed) orchestra.

3:26 pm

penquis

yes...

3:44 pm

Marc Freeman

4:31 pm

Marc Freeman

pr5 written poetry, pr6 one who writes poetry

4:31 pm

MollyL

Yes Teach

4:32 pm

MollyL

And a 3rd vowel makes it a more so ending

4:33 pm

zoozzoom

I like your icon, Molly :-)

4:33 pm

Marc Freeman

But there is no vowel around the last letter which is a 'r'.

4:33 pm

MollyL

'Tis the season Zoom : )

4:33 pm

wvteach

found it - it's the second (at least for me) PR 6/21

4:33 pm

Marc Freeman

ahh add the vowel earlier thanks

4:33 pm

zoozzoom

PR 6/21 A person who talks or writes in a dull or tedious fashion.

4:34 pm

zoozzoom

Yes add the 3rd vowel as the 5th letter.

4:34 pm

MollyL

You wrote some pr5. I wrote some pr5. My pr5 is pr7.

4:34 pm

MollyL

More so ending

4:34 pm

zoozzoom

Yes it was a beautiful day here also.Sorry about you having to go to work tomorrow, but you got to keep the money rolling in :-)

4:56 pm

Ah, Molly! Slainte!

4:57 pm

MollyL

Here's to the rich stuff

4:57 pm

Soodle

Hoo-eeee! Lol

4:59 pm

MollyL

I am trying to savor the last week of evening light before we get slammed with the darkness for four long months.

4:59 pm

Soodle

I don't like these early dark evenings, do you, Zooz?

5:00 pm

Jillyjill

Hello babbleworld!

5:00 pm

zoozzoom

Nope not at all.Dark by 4pm YUCK.

5:00 pm

MollyL

Oh my God, it is never dark at 4PM here. I would be clinically depressed.

5:00 pm

Soodle

..... Summer time ended on Saturday night round these here parts. It got dark at about 5.30 today. Yeuch

5:00 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Jilly :-)]

Soodle

Hey Jill. :-)

Jillyjill

5:01 pm

Jillyjill

Hi there soodle!

5:01 pm

Soodle

I'm that bit further west than you, Zooz..

5:02 pm

MollyL

You know, I have a ton of Celtic literature about how we need the dark time of the year so that we can go within and be introspective. Guess what? I can do that just fine on a dark Summer night as well.

5:02 pm

Soodle

But it's a mole-like existence!

5:02 pm

zoozzoom

Also I would like them to leave the clock alone.Stop changing the hour forward then back then forward etc

5:02 pm

Jillyjill

AMEN to that!

5:02 pm

MollyL

I agree Zoom.

5:03 pm

Jillyjill

hi molly!

5:03 pm

Soodle

Yup, Molls! I can inspect my navel in sunshine just as easily as in murky gloom!

5:03 pm

zoozzoom

lol

5:05 pm

Jillyjill

Hubby still asleep when I get and go to work...no fun fumbling around room in the dark!

5:06 pm

Soodle

Isn't there a recognised medical condition caused by lack of natural light? Season affected disorder, or somesuch?

5:06 pm

periwinkle

Molly, I am also savoring the last week of evening light. I hate it when it gets dark early

5:06 pm

periwinkle

yes SAD. seasonal affective disorder, soodle

5:07 pm

Jillyjill

yes soodle SAD

5:07 pm

Soodle

When do your clocks go back, 'Mericans?

5:07 pm

zoozzoom

5:08 pm

Soodle

Ah! Thanks Zooz :-)

5:08 pm

zoozzoom

Welcome :-)

5:08 pm

MollyL

Apparently Soodle is not reading along about how this is our last week of evening light. *Pours Soodle another drink*

5:09 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Peri :-)

5:09 pm

Jillyjill

Hi peri!

5:09 pm

periwinkle

5:09 pm

You'd imagine that the 'world' could synchronise stuff like that....

5:09 pm

Jillyjill

Hey Mollly....I could use a drink... ;)

5:10 pm

MollyL

I highly recommend Seasonal Affective Disorder lights for anyone who struggles with that.

5:12 pm

Most people here blame it on their cats, Lexi

5:12 pm

Jillyjill

Kinda soodle, staffing was poorly communicated by my supervisor. Having a real rough time interacting with her...frustrated!

5:12 pm

Jillyjill

Hi lexi

5:12 pm

I have a crappy laptop, when my sleeve or hand gets anywhere near the pad it thinks I'm hitting enter...

5:13 pm

5:13 pm

Jillyjill

My laptop's mouse pad is off center to the left...really causes issues.. I know what you mean!

5:13 pm

MollyL

Ah, that is troublesome Lexi. I use a regular mouse with my laptop to avoid that stuff.

5:14 pm

Soodle

All the whiz kids are on tonight. No call for any ham fisted clues from Soodle. Sorry things are hard at work Jilly. I'm off to my (freshly laundered) bed. Night all.

5:14 pm

MollyL

But then I'm one of those freaky people who uses a laptop at a desk, not curled up in bed.

5:14 pm

Goodnight Soodle. Here's to the good life.

7:06 pm

MollyL

The NPR crowd would get "think Home Companion"

7:07 pm

rururocks

That is the ONLY kind of NPR I can handle
: D

7:13 pm

rururocks
