3:30 am

sprite

good morning all

3:35 am

sprite

those two left colums are odd

3:39 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} my darling sprite...dinner is being served. will be back in about 20 minutes

3:40 am

sprite

ok sweetie, enjoy

3:54 am

grannyrose

sprite? i am back.

3:54 am

sprite

wb darling

3:54 am

sprite

how was your dinner?

3:55 am

grannyrose

sweetie, how was your night? and what are you plans for today?

3:55 am

grannyrose

roast lamb, mint sauce, and the most divine vegs...

3:55 am

sprite

I fell yesterday, hurt my ankle and hip. Lots of pain today :(

3:56 am

sprite

oooo sounds delish :)

3:56 am

grannyrose

awww, sprite...that is not good.

3:56 am

sprite

no kidding. Couldn't make it out of bed, almost. But moving around helps a little.

3:57 am

grannyrose

sprite, i am having to start each morning with endone. holding out til 8:30 am.

3:57 am

grannyrose

a hot shower might help, dear. after the cold packs of course. how did you fall?

3:57 am

sprite

that is not good either :( Am sorry to hear it, sweetie. That hip is a bitch, isn't it. As if you didn't have enough already.

4:00 am

grannyrose

* giggle* not getting out of bed util the pain is under control. still....one tablet each day is not a lot. don was quite angry with me. " if you are in pain, take the endone" he said.

4:00 am

grannyrose

ugh...until..

4:01 am

sprite

I am with Don. No, one a day is not a lot, and it is not giving in to an addiction. It is using the stuff for what it was designed for. Take the @(#*)@# endone.

4:02 am

grannyrose

i texted my eldest yet again the other night. apologised for what i have sai8d and done, apologised for what i have NOT said or done. absolute zip. *sigh*

4:03 am

sprite

my love stacked the whole hall with crates and boxes. I couldn't see thebottom step and missed it (I have no feeling in my feet) and fell down amidst the crates.

4:04 am

grannyrose

according to my youngest, oldest's partner just wants me to step in and acknowledge my grand-daughter.

4:04 am

sprite

it is a problem, with eldest. Since he is barking up the wrong tree with his anger, there is nothing you can do to make it better. He is like the guy that goes bezerk at the butcher's for not selling him bread.

4:04 am

grannyrose

oh, dear...{{hugs}} to rob...he must be feeling crap.

4:05 am

sprite

yeah he did, poor guy. He would go miles out of his way to spare me any pain.

4:06 am

grannyrose

sprite, just how many times must i apologise for hurts, real or imaginary?

4:08 am

sprite

my dear friend... I cannot answer that for him. This is my view of things: as long as there is love, and acknowledgement of hurts and pain, there should be easy forgiveness.

4:11 am

sprite

fireflies

4:17 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

4:17 am

grannyrose

apologies dearest. went off to prepare meds.

4:19 am

grannyrose

sprite, my dear, i know you cannot answer for him. it is so frustrating.

4:21 am

sprite

yeah well, it is as I said, I think. He is yelling at the butcher to sell him bread, and the butcher keeps offering all the kinds of meat he can think of. And it is not going to work.

4:21 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs, ladies :)

4:21 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} liz girl

4:21 am

Lizlin

Just here for a few minutes.

4:22 am

Lizlin

How was the son's visit?

4:22 am

grannyrose

exactly sprite. youngest son seems to think i need to contact eldest's de facto directly. she is desperate for a grandmother for her baby.

4:23 am

sprite

hello Liz, dear friend :) Lovely email with beautiful pics. Will reply shortly.

4:23 am

Lizlin

Well, that was a quick visit - being called! If I don't catch you both tomorrow, have a lovely Christmas (and your loved ones too)

4:24 am

grannyrose

liz...youngest son and DIL are the world's beautiful people. they are trying so hard to bring about a resolution to this problem.

4:24 am

sprite

same to you and yours, Liz. *hugs* for you both.

4:28 am

crosshair

4:59 am

crosshair

I am 6 foot 2 inches tall and no longer weigh myself. Last time i stepped on the scales i was 240 pounds, but I console myself with the fact that I and stoutly built regardless.

5:03 am

crosshair

Sad about, Joe Cocker too.

5:11 am

sukee

It was, my youth is disappearing one person at a time.

5:12 am

Trifioso

hello dear friends

8:41 am

MollyL

Hello dearest, darling, beloved friend

8:42 am

Trifioso

(((Molly))))

8:42 am

Judi

I had Slim Fast and Christmas cookies for breakfast!

8:43 am

MollyL

That's my kind of combination. Could only have been better if it was coffee with Bailey's and Christmas cookies

8:43 am

Judi

Well, I had coffee too.

8:43 am

MollyL

They probably frown on Bailey's in your coffee at your place of business

8:44 am

Trifioso

I need a coffee IV today....stayed up WAY too late

8:44 am

Trifioso

tis the season

8:45 am

MollyL

After doing way too much baking this year, I have come to this conclusion. Better to hand people a half pound of butter and some sugar, get yourself a bottle of something and enjoy yourself.

8:46 am

Judi

Butter them up and get them drunk. A simple and time-tested gift.

8:49 am

Judi

Yeah. No Bailey's at work. Grinches.

8:49 am

Trifioso

bell is gonna ring - come on Christmas vacation!!! A mere 4 hours to go!!!!

8:52 am

Scrabbler

Yay, Trif!

8:56 am

mixi6

I don't get vacations any more.

8:57 am

Scrabbler

Why? Are you retired?

8:57 am

Judi

Retirement will do that for you.

8:57 am

mixi6

hubby did first half of year with no vacation (lots of overtime). To no more vacations.

9:06 am

Scrabbler

I hope he isn't burned out.

9:09 am

mixi6

said he hated his job. no end in sight for overtime. we went and did a financial plan, and he retired. Then he felt somewhat guilty about leaving them even more shorthanded, but his blood pressure is now normal.

9:09 am

Scrabbler

Good for him.

9:10 am

mixi6

he is still at lo5 ends. and hasn't found enough things to do.

9:11 am

Scrabbler

Does he want to find another job?

9:11 am

Judi

He shouldn't feel bad, Mixi. One: it's a job he hated and was negatively affecting his health; 2: Companies these days are only short-handed because they are too cheap to hire and/or pay employees fair wages. So, they work the employees they have to the bone and keep asking for more.

9:12 am

Scrabbler

Yes, far too many people are overworked and underpaid.

9:14 am

mixi6

he was on a job that if someone went on vacation, someone else had to do overtime to cover. One was out with short term disability, so they couldn't replace him. He asked to go to a short work week and they ignored him (didn't think he meant it), so he took an early retirement.

9:14 am

crosshair

Howdy my babble buds!

9:14 am

Judi

Our municipality, for which I work, is trending toward not replacing people who quit or retire. If they hire a replacement, they hire a part time worker and expect them to do a full time job. Our municipality has plenty of money for salaries. They just want to cheap out on salaries and benefits.

9:15 am

Hiya, Crossy! Are you on holiday break from school?

they discovered a lot of structures .. they're planning to build a tunnel to bypass the location (due to traffic) but the archeologists want time to investigate.. they've discovered some important finds

our neighbourhood is tiny so a group of us carol around the neighbouthood, with many drink spots on the route. It's like Hallowe'en for grown-ups. We have trucks full of hay etc. Really fun.

11:52 am

I can't carry a tune, so I drone

11:52 am

rururocks

awww.. holiday cheer

11:53 am

and play harmonica

11:53 am

rururocks

it's not cold out when you do it?

11:54 am

saanichcat

sometimes we have snow; some clear starry nights but mostly cloudy.

11:55 am

rururocks

I would think playing a harmonica in the cold would be a little difficult

11:57 am

saanichcat

We used to all gather at my place to have mulled wine to warm up and practice. Once we took out the fire truck with the loudspeaker blasting.

11:57 am

saanichcat

oh I just drone on the harmonica too, like bagpipes. Usually I can get on key but that's about it

11:58 am

I can't stand bagpipes.. the most awful instrument of all time

I kind of gave up on beef for the same reason crossy.. too many other options at better prices.. although I see it as a treat like Molly does.

12:31 pm

Hi All

12:31 pm

saanichcat

hi hego!

12:32 pm

yes, As a treat, it is fine, but even a crappy, small beef roast, pieced together with bits and welded together with enzyme spray is costing 15 dollars for a 2-3 pounder:(

12:32 pm

remember rib roasts?

12:32 pm

mmm, rib roast...

12:32 pm

I do make a good pot roast, they are cheap(er)

12:33 pm

A good cut, top end roast is about $40.00- $50.00 from the butchers "special" case

May as well buy Kobe beef if I am spending that much:)

I've had more expensive steaks than that crossy

12:37 pm

crosshair

wow

12:38 pm

MollyL

I buy cheap beef occasionally throughout the year and use it in slow cooker recipes to make it tender. The tenderloin is a once a year treat and I blow way too much money on it. But it's worth every bite, and then some.

12:38 pm

hego

you can pay as much as you like for specialty meats.

12:38 pm

hego

Molly, do you it in the oven?

Soodle, when you coe to visit, I hope you aren't expecting a spotless house.....

12:58 pm

So it will be a full house at Chez Soodle. Mother of Soodle, Soodle, Son of Soodle, Daughters of Soodle and perhaps a midnight visit from Stud of Soodle

12:59 pm

Oodles of Soodles, Molls! Oodles of them!

Turkey & ham & all the trimmings. Yum

1:02 pm

With Mother of Soodle coming, I imagine there will be lots of wine as well (for the cook, that is)

1:03 pm

rubyfoo

perhaps you can put some Xanax in your Ma's wine

1:03 pm

rubyfoo

to make her less critical

1:04 pm

MollyL

The nice thing about elders is that their eyesight is not what it used to be. You can get by with a missed spot or two of cleaning.

1:05 pm

Soodle

Ooooh yes! I invested in a rather nice bottle of Chateau Neuf de Papes today. And I also have a big bottle of Baileys...

1:05 pm

8:58 pm

crosshair

Howdy stidmama:)

8:58 pm

crosshair

Mm mm... bacon is too expensive to buy here now:((

8:59 pm

stidmama

oh, this is from the pig we bought this year. and VERY expensive (but worth it!)

9:00 pm

crosshair

Costing us $5.50/ 3/4 pou d plus tax... I can no longer justify it in the grocery budget...sniff:(

9:01 pm

crosshair

When iget the shakes I buy a jar of bacon bits and make em last lol

9:02 pm

stidmama

bummer, cross -- I hope the prices moderate for you. I don't suppose you know people who raise pigs? That is how we get ours, our neighbor.

9:03 pm

crosshair

I am working on a local source as we speak:) this bacon drougjt cannot be allowed to continue.

9:04 pm

Bacon is now pound for pound more expensive that a beef roaxt!

9:06 pm

crosshair

Roast

9:06 pm

stidmama

9:06 pm

crosshair

Take crossu typing skillz and add a tablet and this is what you get:)

9:07 pm

stidmama

I heard that in Spain there are people making "bacon" using beef... perhaps we can find someone who can do the same for you?

9:08 pm

crosshair

Lol somehow I think it will not be the same..

9:09 pm

stidmama

I suspect not....

9:10 pm

crosshair

On bright side butterballturkeys are a good price this year:)

9:11 pm

crosshair

9:16 pm

crosshair

And gas is down to 95 cents a litre from a high of $1.33/ litre:))

9:17 pm

10:40 pm

stidmama

I guess your messiah performance rocked? I was hoping to go to the one here, but I was really tired by the time Tom got home last night and not interested in long drives to and from town. How's the grandkid?

10:41 pm

m9f9l

grandkids.. plural!

10:41 pm

m9f9l

Gage apparently thought so.lol

10:41 pm

stidmama

really? congrats!!!

10:41 pm

m9f9l

Yup. gbaby number 2 just turned a year.

10:41 pm

stidmama

Gage is a keen observer and clearly has a good ear, too.

10:42 pm

stidmama

wow. I guess I haven't been online often enough! :-)

10:43 pm

m9f9l

Yup..life gets busy. Too bad you couldn't go to the Messiah. For me that gets the holiday spirit going. You could watch the special online about the events leading to it's inspiration. It's really good.

10:44 pm

stidmama

I don't actually observe that day, m9, but thanks. I like the music, but that is about it for me.

10:47 pm

stidmama

or did you mean the inspiration for the music specifically?

10:50 pm

m9f9l

For the music.

10:50 pm

m9f9l

I sent you a link

10:50 pm

stidmama

oooh. thanks!

10:51 pm

m9f9l

Really an interesting story. I knew a little of it, but not most!

10:52 pm

stidmama

I will watch it tomorrow when I have some time. :-)

10:52 pm

m9f9l

Sweet! Let me know what you think.

10:54 pm

stidmama

I will. My friend's son, the one you met when we got together for the dance festival, left for his mission (the training part) on the 17th. He will be in Japan. :-D We miss him already -- will go to his house on Thursday for brunch. Help fill up the house a little bit.

10:58 pm

m9f9l

Oh wow. Japan! Amazing. My son-in-law's parents are gone right now, but they are not so far away as Japan. May as well be though. They are in Missouri.

10:59 pm

stidmama

oh, that's a fair way away, too -- I hope the weather back there isn't affecting them much

11:00 pm

m9f9l

It's cold.LOL

11:01 pm

stidmama

brrr -- glad it isn't cold here, we scorched the bacon earlier, and had to open ALL the windows!

Got your note -- glad to hear you are enjoying grade 3 -- it used to be my favourite as well. Like the idea of taking them from spoon fed babies to students in one year.
