rururocks

12:40 am

Lizlin

Ah! That might make a difference.

12:41 am

rururocks

I'd be a wise-guy

12:41 am

Lizlin

A child genius - ahead of all his friends in school.

12:42 am

2:13 am

sprite

good morning all

2:22 am

Lizlin

Hi Sprite :) hugs.

2:22 am

Lizlin

How's Tim today and how are you?

2:22 am

sprite

hey Liz :) *hugs* right back at you. Feeling any better?

2:23 am

Lizlin

Yes - it was just one of those days where everything I touched seemed to go wrong :(

2:24 am

sprite

Tim is still asleep, am letting him sleep as much as he wants. And I am feeling better, less tired. Already drove my love to his work and got the groceries!

2:24 am

sprite

ugh I know, right? Nasty days, that. Have been thinking of you and sending you loving thoughts.

2:25 am

Lizlin

Sounds like a good start to the day. Good idea for Tim to sleep as much as possible.

2:25 am

Lizlin

Gratefully received :)

2:26 am

sprite

yeah, most healing takes place when sleeping... and he loves to sleep, so that is great, lol. Got him some yoghurts and soups and juices. The boy is set for today.

2:26 am

sprite

*hugs*

2:26 am

Lizlin

Sounds good and healthy. What about the naughty stuff - ice cream?

2:28 am

sprite

I asked him yesterday and he was adamant: no ice! Rather unexpected, but apparently cold isn't a pleasant thought for him. So I brought him a chocolate bar. He can break it in tiny pieces and suck :)

2:29 am

Lizlin

OK. He knows what feels right for him.

2:29 am

sprite

yeah, that is my thought as well. He is the expert on what he feels.

2:30 am

Lizlin

I'm sure if he wants ice cream, he'll ask.

2:30 am

Lizlin

And when he's ready for anything solid too.

2:30 am

sprite

lol indeed! He loves icecream, so he would grab the chance with both hands if it had felt right.

2:31 am

Lizlin

How does he feel about possible (probable) op on Monday?

2:31 am

sprite

solid is a bit of a problem, since he cannot open his mouth wide enough nor can he chew well.

2:32 am

Lizlin

Has the pain lessened with the removal of some stitches?

2:32 am

sprite

he said yesterday he wants the op. He is vain enough to want to keep looking good and I agree. It is rather weird, that flat cheek.

2:32 am

Lizlin

Good for him, though I saw what Rose said about it being a long, slow process.

2:33 am

sprite

yeah, a little bit. But the cheek and his mouth are really giving him hell still. At least the eye is somewhat better.

2:33 am

Lizlin

And painful, I imagine.

2:33 am

sprite

the specialist only mentioned the one operation. Not sure if there is anything more involved than letting it heal up afterwards.

2:34 am

Lizlin

Hopefully not.

2:34 am

sprite

but several people who have had this, say they still have pain in the cheekbone when the weather changes.

2:34 am

Lizlin

Not more than one op, that is.

2:35 am

Lizlin

Everyone is different though and hopefully Tim will have no problems.

2:35 am

sprite

yeah. We just have to take it one step at a time, I guess. Back to the specialist on Monday, talk with him, let Tim have his say and then we will see.

2:35 am

Lizlin

Is Caya ok with it all?

2:36 am

sprite

she has had a bad shock as well. But is recovering, just as we are. Lots of hugs and some little goodies, and of course talking about it. It all helps.

2:37 am

Lizlin

For all of you - that's why I asked.

2:38 am

sprite

yes, it has its impact on us all. When you get such a close call, you realise again how fragile it all is.

2:39 am

Lizlin

Sure do. Close calls really make you think about life.

2:41 am

sprite

and how little you can do to protect the ones you love

2:42 am

Lizlin

You do what you can. You as a parent, can do no more.

2:43 am

sprite

it is true. Sad but true. First Terra, then Tim... ugh, I wish I could hover over them as a guardian angel all day and night. Wouldn't they hate me :D

2:44 am

Lizlin

Tim might, Terra would just love the attention.

2:44 am

sprite

lol indeed. He is at my feet now, snoring like a boss

2:45 am

Lizlin

Cute.

2:45 am

sprite

how is the renovation coming along?

2:47 am

Lizlin

On hold for a few days. Pest spraying means we can't wash the edges of the floors for a week. which means no wiping up paint drips!

2:47 am

sprite

did the spraying go well?

2:48 am

Lizlin

Yes and thankfully no snake skins or snakes in the attic. We've never had one (phew) but apparently carpet pythons in the attic are quite common.

2:49 am

sprite

wow, that would be something! I like snakes... but not living in with me!

2:49 am

Jivingjenny0

any chance of a clue for the C7 or C8 please

2:49 am

Lizlin

I don't like the at all!

2:50 am

sprite

hi Jjenny, think of twisting.

2:50 am

Lizlin

Co 7/8 - twist your body Iain strange shapes.

2:54 am

sprite

that th is sneaky!

2:54 am

Lizlin

Caught me out a number of times!

2:55 am

sprite

me too. Am searching for the last few words and several of them ended there.

2:55 am

Lizlin

As did the "shun" ending for a while.

2:55 am

Lizlin

I've got 7 left, which I'll think about later.

2:56 am

sprite

am down to 3, all Ts. Getting there.

2:57 am

Lizlin

To 7 is one of my missing words

2:57 am

sprite

it has that ending and is related to the co words you clued

2:58 am

Lizlin

Thanks

2:58 am

sprite

yvw :)

2:58 am

Lizlin

6 for later!

2:59 am

sprite

hehehe, so close!

3:00 am

Lizlin

true but I needed a break and often find words if I leave the grid for a few hours.

3:01 am

sprite

yes that works, same for me. But usually I don't really have time to play later on the day, so I like to finish in one go.

3:01 am

sprite

fireflies :)

3:01 am

Lizlin

I sometimes go back before I go to bed.

3:01 am

Lizlin

Congrats, sprite :)

3:02 am

Lizlin

Or in the morning.

3:02 am

sprite

A big *hug* for you and for your husband, Liz. And I will leave a hug for our Rose as well, who is hopefully enjoying a great goodbye dinner with her colleagues.

3:02 am

Lizlin

Hope you gave a good day and that Tim feels a bit better. Hugs

3:02 am

sprite

and to all of you, a blessed day and a peaceful night.

5:59 am

grannyrose

i have worked with these people for nearly 13 years. they are almost like my other family. one person i had worked with at another hospital nearly 20 years ago.

6:01 am

lbdawger

wow! that's a long time in one place. I'm amazed at folks who retire from being at one location for over 10 years. It's almost unheard of to have longevity

6:02 am

6:19 am

grannyrose

reminds me of when we first babysat my then 5 year old grandson. poor DH was really worried. the kid had the attention span of a gnat, and DH was exhausted trying to keep up with him. when he went home, DH said...is g/son normal?

6:40 am

bichon

hi dawg

6:41 am

Anniebrook

morning, dawg

6:41 am

bichon

hi Annie

6:42 am

Anniebrook

morning, bichon..better weather today

6:43 am

bichon

a tad warmer, but did you see the temps for Monday, 60's and rain

6:43 am

Anniebrook

crazy!

6:43 am

bichon

Feel blessed that we don't live in Buffalo. I don't think Scrabs has been as badly hit

6:44 am

Anniebrook

I feel badly for them. They are expecting more snow by this weekend. They estimate 3 more feet. Ugh!

6:45 am

bichon

We once got 3 feet and we were paralyzed

6:47 am

ivesy3

and no work again today as we brace for another two feet of snow.

6:47 am

bichon

You're near Scrabs, right?

6:48 am

ivesy3

yes, i believe she lives about 20 mins away. last time i talked to her, we had more snow.i am right near lake erie. so we get it bad.esp with water still being warm

6:49 am

bichon

And it's going to get worse. Then cabin fever sets in. But you have power, at least

6:49 am

bojazz

In 1973 in South Carolina, we had 24 inches of snow in the center of the state. Talk about problems. At most we get an occasional 4-5 inches that last maybe 12 hours. Farmers with tractors went out on the interstate to rescue stranded motorists...

6:49 am

Trifioso

good morning friends

6:49 am

bichon

I wonder if she can get to work?

6:50 am

bichon

hi Trif

6:50 am

ivesy3

i have power, heat, coffee and smokes...oh yea and food . we went yesterday while it was clear.semis all over the roads near thruway bcuz they cant get on.

6:51 am

bichon

CT send crew to Buffalo

6:51 am

Trifioso

Massachusetts is sending heavy equipment

6:51 am

bichon

*sent

6:52 am

ivesy3

quite a few states sending help. plus national guard. at this point our road crews are handling it, but that may change after this storm

6:53 am

bichon

What was really scary when we had 3 feet and were snowed in for days was no emergency help could reach people

6:53 am

MollyL

I'm sending Saint Bernards with kegs of liquor

6:53 am

ivesy3

yes!! let me give u my address molly lol

6:53 am

bichon

Only you Molly

6:53 am

Trifioso

I was bemused at the panic over the stadium not being cleaned out in time for sundays game...if the streets are not clear, who will be attending the game?

6:54 am

ivesy3

yes trif..that should be the least of their concerns. bills are asking for help...let them go shovel it lol

6:55 am

Trifioso

seriously

6:55 am

MollyL

I'm guessing a whole caravan of rabid football fans with four wheel drives (plows attached) will get the way to the stadium cleared

6:56 am

Trifioso

im betting.

6:56 am

ivesy3

you are probably right molly. same ones that wont help anyone else

6:56 am

Trifioso

plow out a grocery store? I think not! Keep a road open to the stadium? YES MAAM

6:57 am

MollyL

Car, Car...the liquor stores always get plowed out first.

6:57 am

MollyL

Or "packies" as y'all call them

6:58 am

bichon

Football rules in this country. College football players don't really have to attend classes, rape and get away with it, not stop after they cause accidents. Rant mode off

6:58 am

Trifioso

you are preaching to the choir, bichon

6:59 am

Trifioso

I work at a public school....

6:59 am

ivesy3

its disgusting.. special rites just becuz they bring in the money

7:00 am

Trifioso

to be fair, I have had to listen to my share of people ranting at me for the "unsustainable benefits" teachers get, and how "my union" is ruining their town.....

7:00 am

ivesy3

veterans get less rites than football players. and help

7:00 am

Trifioso

I don't even make minimum wage

7:01 am

ivesy3

i make mimimum wage at the library. and put up with some violent people...homeless camp out there and act like we owe them everything

7:02 am

Trifioso

I used to say that boston must have the best-read homeless population on earth....the BPL is a homeless shelter with books

7:02 am

Trifioso

bless their hearts....if I was homeless I would TOTALLY go to a library

7:02 am

MollyL

Step right up to the podium ladies and gentlemen, it's Rant-O-Rama : D

7:03 am

MollyL

The word "sustainable" is so over used. People need to be shocked every time they use it.

7:03 am

ivesy3

dont mind that they come in but i dont owe them anything....they get downright nasty

7:04 am

ivesy3

rant o rama...we can start a new board game molly.. make millions lol

7:04 am

Trifioso

my son gave money to a homeless man last week - the man actually handed it back to him and said "is this is the best you can do?"

7:04 am

Trifioso

isn't that what Festivus is for? The airing of the grievances?

7:05 am

MollyL

Ivesy, Mark Zuckerberg already did that

7:05 am

ivesy3

oh chit...another idea gone lol

7:05 am

bichon

That reminds me of a sign a homeless man had in Palo Alto. Organic food only. Only in CA

7:05 am

Trifioso

THAT is hilarious bichon!!!

7:06 am

MollyL

I guess that homeless guy only takes Birkenstocks from the clothing bin too

7:07 am

bichon

I love visiting CA. Such a different perspective

7:07 am

ivesy3

lol.. and lobster from the food pantry

7:08 am

MollyL

I think you get a contact high just breathing the air in California

7:09 am

ivesy3

surprised my son hasnt moved to colorado yet......

7:09 am

Trifioso

billy Crystal used to do a GREAT bit about how different it is visiting a ball park in California versus New York..."Avacado here!"

7:12 am

Anniebrook

funny!

7:12 am

bichon

True, my grands were eating avocado as some of their first foods

7:12 am

Trifioso

more news coming across regarding bill cosby...more and more women stepping forward...so upsetting

7:13 am

ivesy3

knew he was to good to be true.

7:13 am

bichon

A shame that this has come up so late

7:13 am

bichon

Has his wife divorced him yet

7:13 am

Anniebrook

another role model shattered

7:13 am

Trifioso

I feel for his wife....

7:14 am

ivesy3

naah prob one of those that stand by their man no matter what they do

7:14 am

bichon

Stand by your man

7:14 am

Trifioso

and his daughters, and those that have known him all these years. just very, very upsetting

7:14 am

bichon

Just the image of him as a gynecologist on the Cosby Show

7:15 am

Anniebrook

Dr. Huxtable

7:15 am

Trifioso
