3:04 am

sprite

3:05 am

grannyrose

how lovely dearest....

3:06 am

sprite

how have you been? Did you take it easy in church and has the pain subsided a bit?

3:07 am

grannyrose

i am trying a new regimen with my diuretics. i have them beside my bed, and as soon as i wake at around 6am, i take them. effect worn off by about 10am, and i feel more like doing stuff.

3:08 am

sprite

very nice! Good thinking, rose.

3:08 am

grannyrose

i did take it easy at church, and it was the church christmas lunch. so much food....and of course the company was great. ;-P

3:09 am

sprite

hehehe :D am glad, dear friend. You are being so wise!

3:10 am

sprite

phantom: poncho

3:11 am

grannyrose

and i so wanted bocci....but alas, not to be, no matter how i twisted the grid around...lol

3:12 am

sprite

*shakes grid* Hm, no, no dice here either.

3:12 am

grannyrose

*giggling*

3:15 am

sprite

we had agreed here not to do gifts and 'surprises' (funny trick presents) for Sinterklaas, just traditional dinner and goodies to snack on and a fun movie. But I gave each of them one small gift anyway and a poem... was so much fun :D

3:15 am

sprite

even Terra, hehehe. Made a poem out of dog sounds and made Rob read it to us :)

3:17 am

grannyrose

btw, yours truly nearly killed her hubby this am. went to use the loo, and realised there were just 3 sheets left on the roll, looked in container, nope, none there. i had to get the new pack of rolls out of the cupboard and replenish all BEFORE i sat down. lucky i wasn't in too much of a hurry.

3:17 am

grannyrose

what a great way to celebrate, sprite.

3:18 am

sprite

ohhhh oh God I HATE it when they do that. They do that here as well. I mean, wth? As if it is so much trouble to change it... but no... they leave 2 or 3 sheets and just leave!

3:18 am

grannyrose

what movie did you all watch?

3:19 am

sprite

a fun one. "Now you see me" about 4 magicians who rob a bank as part of their tricks.

3:19 am

grannyrose

i think it is worse if there is none on the roll, and no new rolls in the container, and you are already in full swing, so to speak.

3:20 am

sprite

I usually barely make it to the loo in time anyway. So yeah, I hear you. Happened so often here. I have had to make them bring me some. Lazy #@$*)#

3:21 am

grannyrose

not lazy, they just don't think about who is going to be there next. or they have something else going on in their brain....and oops....i forgot....grrrr

3:22 am

sprite

:D Yeah. Either way, it stinks to be the next one... literally.

3:22 am

grannyrose

lol, i hear you sister.

3:23 am

sprite

I think this grid stinks as well

3:24 am

grannyrose

hmmmm, some pretty tricky ones in it, but not a lot. i'm sure you will winkle them out.

3:24 am

sprite

running out of words before halfway!

3:25 am

grannyrose

do you have both spellings of not breathing?

3:26 am

sprite

neither of them, I think, lol

3:26 am

sprite

dead.... no. Choking.... no. :D

3:26 am

grannyrose

ap5/12, and ap6/21

3:26 am

grannyrose

and now i'll stop, unless you ask...but knowing you....

3:27 am

sprite

oh, the snoring disease! Thanks darling. And I will ask when I get too frustrated.

3:34 am

grannyrose

sprite?? i have a little problem. and i do have an optometrist's appointment tomorrow. for the last 6 months, gradually becoming more obvious, i have had a sort of spot in my right eye. it moves when i move my eye. sometimes it's sort of like looking through cooked tapioca.

3:35 am

sprite

oh sweetie :( How frustrating. Are you worried? Could be one of a number of things, most of them treatable and not serious.

3:36 am

grannyrose

not really worried...i am hoping it is just the beginning of a cataract, which i know to be completely operable.

3:36 am

sprite

will be thinking of you. What time is the appt?

3:38 am

marigold

bo

3:38 am

sprite

marigold plays ghost with us :)
Boooo right back at ya!

3:41 am

grannyrose

sprite, appointment at 2:30pm. about 4:30am your time.

3:42 am

sprite

no way. You are much farther ahead of me. What time is it now for you?

3:42 am

grannyrose

*giggle* she usually does. marigold...we loves ya. come and play

3:42 am

sprite

oh.... nm.... stupid me. am. pm. Right.

3:43 am

grannyrose

roflol....took the words right out of my mouth...blows raspberries

3:43 am

sprite

I'll think of you, rose. And hold you in my prayers as well. *hugs*

3:44 am

grannyrose

thanx, hin

3:44 am

sprite

pffff finally the biggies. They are twisty. Not hard. Just twisty.

3:44 am

grannyrose

*groan* IBS has just taken on a life of its own...*sigh*

3:45 am

grannyrose

yeah, but i had such fun finding them

3:45 am

sprite

oh yuck that is so uncomfortable. Go and take your time, honey.

3:46 am

grannyrose

s'okay, taken the meds....but if you feel like you are talking to the air.....you prolly are...lol

3:46 am

3:49 am

sprite

ah, the ni.

3:50 am

sprite

hey Dachef :D

3:50 am

grannyrose

tr6 x 2 ?

3:50 am

sprite

no, it was the ni :D

3:50 am

grannyrose

you missed the ni6??? good grief!!

3:50 am

sprite

rule of thumb for sprite: usually missing a relatively easy one. Or a really easy one. *facepalm*

3:51 am

grannyrose

*ducks behind don* just kidding, dear, just kidding.

3:51 am

Dachef

I missed the ni. and the tr. and all the others apart from the 1 I clued.

3:52 am

sprite

I sometimes worry... how weird is it to spot words like rotl and toea and inia right away, and miss obvious ones?

3:53 am

grannyrose

just a slight one, sprite. i mean...why should i be the only one with a warped brain?

3:53 am

Dachef

agreed, but the very fact that we know words like rotl and toea as if they were common means we usually win at scrabble over xmas.

3:54 am

sprite

true, dat. True. At least we share a warped brain, lol.

3:54 am

sprite

also true, Dachef, lol!

3:54 am

Dachef

although I dont anymoe cos I'm banned from scrabble because I put the bo5 down last year and then had to explain what it meant to grandma.

3:55 am

sprite

lolol Dachef. Did she get it from your words or did you have to show her? *blinks innocently*

3:56 am

Dachef

no, she understood what it meant, but apparently you cant use 'curse words' in scrabble. 12 months later and Im still sulking.

3:56 am

sprite

fireflies. Last 3 words were words I was certain I had entered earlier.

3:56 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

3:57 am

sprite

oh unfair! Ofcourse you can. As long as they are in the dictionary, they are valid. Tsk.

3:57 am

sprite

I am always frustrated when clit is in the grid. I mean, co4 on.

3:58 am

Dachef

funnily enough, the latest version of enable (i.e. not the one from 1954 that babble uses) has clit in it.

3:58 am

sprite

yay! Progress was made!

3:59 am

Dachef

its somewhere on page 205, but a lot of men are still looking for it.

3:59 am

grannyrose

* gurgling in4 drink* omg...is it really?

4:00 am

sprite

most women would be willing to give them a bo... a pointer.

4:00 am

grannyrose

omg...dachef....yeah my hubby and about 6 billion others...roflol

4:08 am

sprite

ok, time to get active here... some domestic chores to be done. *hugs* for rose and dachef and Liz and pugs and my other friends. And to all a blessed day and a peaceful night. Rose, good luck tomorrow.

8:09 am

Matches

8:16 am

pippingeek

only the two, and the first one already rejected me, but i was not very taken with the school

8:16 am

pippingeek

everything i learnt about the program was kind of the opposite of what i want

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Do you have a "for sure" school?

8:16 am

pippingeek

no, the two backups i applied to haven't asked me for interviews, which is shocking to me

8:17 am

pippingeek

which is why i am sending them emails today that say "here are things i love about your program, i do hope you are still considering me"

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Any more interviews coming up?

8:49 am

8:49 am

Dorens

wow... one of the many advantages of retirement.... Didn't even realize that it is Monday Morning...........la la, la la

8:50 am

Judi

Hi, Une!

8:50 am

Dorens

how is everyone this morning

8:50 am

hego

Doren, isn't it great!

8:50 am

Dorens

?

8:50 am

Judi

Oh. Shut. Up. Dorens!

8:50 am

hego

hahaha

8:51 am

Dorens

oh , it gets worse! I'm in love...... which I had totally given up on

8:51 am

Judi

I say that in the most envious way possible.

8:51 am

hego

WOW! Doren! Congrats!!

8:51 am

Dorens

Judi, I just checked.. You're 50... Your time will come
My medicare arrived in the mail on Saturday...

8:52 am

Judi

Oh no! Smug and starry eyed.

8:52 am

hego

Medicare is the bomb!

8:52 am

Dorens

medicare card..... a most important little piece of paper

8:52 am

Judi

Only 15 more years! If I'm lucky.

8:52 am

hego

That's our Doren!

8:53 am

hego

Really, I am very happy for you Doren.

8:53 am

Dorens

well, starry eyed yes..... not smug.... that was the old Doren. New Doren is much more compassionate. I apologize for my apparent gloating... it was inconsiderate, if unintentional

8:53 am

hego

No, no problem.

8:54 am

Judi

You go right ahead and gloat, baby.

8:54 am

hego

Right!

8:55 am

hego

Hi Pip

8:55 am

Dorens

The first few months of retirement have included two trips (one with 92 year old aunt of my exhusband, the other a retreat in Sedona), much soul searching, much change, much forgiveness, and this wonderful man as my reward for all the hard work. It's been mindblowing and not even three months..

8:55 am

MLFAN17

i was hoping for bigger

8:56 am

hego

Good thing Ruru isn't here.

8:56 am

Judi

Sedona is beautiful. Did you experience a vortex while you were there?

8:56 am

hego

Doren, all the best to you.

8:56 am

Dorens

hi pip and everyone else.
ah yes, hego... so true!!! another of my new revelations.. priorities. taking care of things that matter and leaving the rest of it .... (hence babble just might not get done somedays and that's just fine)

8:57 am

Dorens

I don't think so Judi, but was fortunate to be able to stay at Enchantment which is nestled right inside Boynton Canyon It was magical.

8:57 am

Judi

Stunning scenery in Sedona. So beautiful it almost hurts your eyes.

8:58 am

hego

I have been to places like that.

8:59 am

Judi

Would love to go back to Arizona some day. Was soooo hot the first time we were there.

8:59 am

Dorens

Hego, the funny thing is that Ru and I refer to him as "diet coke" He doesn't particularly like wine so doesn't bother with it. I actually have bought diet coke to keep in the house for when he's here... And he sees food as a means of subsistence.. He eats what I cook but he might as well e eating Lean Cuisine. Just doesn't care about food and wine. Can you imagine???? Me??? with that? and I have no desire to try to change him.

8:59 am

hego

I can't imagine.

9:00 am

hego

Bill does not drink, but He does love food.

9:00 am

Dorens

I should find one of my sedona pics from October and change my icon. Later though... Need to go take my friend to the oncologist and find out the results of her lung scan post chemo. So, nice to see you all... Hasta la vista

9:00 am

Judi

Obviously, his "taste" is concentrated on hot babes like Doren.

9:01 am

hego

Bye Doren

9:01 am

pippingeek

bye

9:01 am

hego

He does have good taste in women.

9:02 am

Scrabbler

Doren, I missed you. Good to hear about your life.

9:03 am

hego

She has been very happy since retiring.

9:04 am

Scrabbler

I dream about retiring in 15 years but I don't want to be 70.

9:04 am

hego

It's not so bad. You get used to it. lol

9:05 am

Judi

:-) I'll be 65 in 15 years. I'm mentally ready to retire now. Financially.... *laughs hysterically*

9:05 am

hego

:D

9:05 am

Scrabbler

Financially---hahaha! I agree.

9:06 am

Scrabbler

It has been so difficult to save for retirement.

9:06 am

hego

I think you boomers have it tough.

9:07 am

Judi

Tell me about it. I've been saving since my early 30s. Kind of depressing how slowly it builds up.

9:07 am

Scrabbler

I use my money to help my mother, my nephews and great-nephews.

9:08 am

hego

You have to start thinking of you, Scrabs.

9:10 am

o-o

The VA will find me a home and make all the decisions ... I just have to be apathetic and dysfunctional.

9:10 am

Scrabbler

Aw, o-o.

9:11 am

o-o

I do both quite well.

9:12 am

Judi

Hmm. Sounds like my sister, o-o. Only she's not a veteran.

9:12 am

hego

there's a lot of that going around.

9:14 am

hego

Must go. bbl

9:15 am

o-o

Vietnam was the highlight of my life ... I would not be the person I am without all the lessons it taught me.

9:19 am

Scrabbler

Any good lessons?

9:20 am

o-o

Many would choose death over an existence of nothingness.

9:23 am

Scrabbler

My neighbor is a Vietnam vet. He sustained a hip injury which has plagued him, as well as the psychologic wounds. War is hell.

9:24 am

o-o

Are you buried in snow, Scrabbler?

9:27 am

Scrabbler

We were but then had a warm spell. Soon though, then I can cross-country ski and snowshoe.

9:29 am

10:28 am

MollyL

Hey now, I'm just being clever and using clues about where cats sit from what I read here : P

10:28 am

rururocks

well.. you know how my mind works

10:28 am

MollyL

But now I have a rugby song stuck in my head

10:30 am

rururocks

rugby song?

10:31 am

MollyL

Rugby players are dirty, dirty boys. And not just from what they pick up on the field.

10:32 am

rururocks

are you insinuating I'm dirty >? :D

10:33 am

Erda

Let's hear the rugbysong!!

10:35 am

MollyL

Oh Erda, I get enough crap for what I post here without going out on that limb. : D

10:36 am

rururocks

*nods head*

10:37 am

Erda

I'd still like to hear it...

10:38 am

rururocks

no.. I don't think you would Erda

10:39 am

rururocks

*WONDERS... how many rugby parties Molly has been to?*

10:39 am

Erda

Oh dear...THAT bad, huh?

10:39 am

rururocks

10:40 am

10:40 am

I dated a rugby player in college. Ooo boy, that ought to fire up the Babble email gossip hot line.

boom, work place technological crash leads to midday nut babbling

10:47 am

Scrabbler

How nice!

10:47 am

evanonut

yes! well except that last time something like this happened I was unemployed for two months

10:48 am

Scrabbler

Why?

10:48 am

evanonut

cause last time it was because my employer had been, uh, yanked from all access due to a Russian hack

10:49 am

Scrabbler

Grrr. What a mess. Poor internet security.

10:49 am

evanonut

actually, I was glad to watch them fold and felt they deserved worse

10:50 am

Scrabbler

Aha.

10:50 am

evanonut

I'm not a fan of defrauding the government, that's my tax money

10:51 am

Scrabbler

And the boss probably wanted to cut corners so didn't have a good IT worker.

10:52 am

evanonut

google usis lawsuit and you'll find some lovely reading

10:52 am

Scrabbler

IT is so essential to any business--firewall, security, encryption.

10:53 am

Scrabbler

I will later. I am done here and must leave here (on Indian Reservation where gas is $2.53/gallon !) and go to main office now.

10:53 am

evanonut

nice price!

10:53 am

Scrabbler

Smooch the puppy for me. I had fun with my friend's Choc Lab on Fri. He has long legs and runs like a racehorse.

10:54 am

Scrabbler

I am here once weekly and fill up my tank. No taxes on gas.

10:54 am

Scrabbler

Be well, Nutty. And warm.
