good morning all

{{hugs}} sprite

2:20 am

grannyrose

i was in the kitchen sorting dinner

2:20 am

sprite

hello my dear friend *hugs*

2:21 am

grannyrose

it's a strange grid tonight/today. twisty words

2:22 am

sprite

yesterday's was evil

2:23 am

grannyrose

some very weird gerunds yesterday.

2:23 am

sprite

yeah... that nursling one was odd

2:26 am

grannyrose

how was your night?

2:26 am

sprite

bad. Ugly dreams and lots of being awake, and my back is a mess.

2:27 am

grannyrose

i thought that would be the case. gentle hugs my dear.

2:27 am

sprite

thanks :) How about yourself? I read you had a good day.

2:28 am

grannyrose

yup, got stuff done but very slowly with lots of rest.

2:28 am

sprite

that is the way. Awesome!

2:30 am

grannyrose

i'm going out with june tomorrow. coffee, lunch and one charity shop. weather starting to warm up again. ugh!!

2:31 am

sprite

always good for you, a day with June. Enjoy, darling! And take it easy while on the way....

2:32 am

grannyrose

haven't heard back from the medical panel, but it has only been 3 weeks.

2:34 am

sprite

I hope they will be quick now. Enough beating around the bush, out with it. It isn't complicated. They only have to decide you are worse off than you claim and should get everything you are entitled to.

2:37 am

grannyrose

okay, don has got dinner on successfully.

2:38 am

sprite

good man

2:40 am

grannyrose

what is the shape of your day like? how are things with the boyo?

2:41 am

sprite

unresolved as of yet. I was beat yesterday, went to bed very early. Have seen him only in passing and at dinner. I just cancelled the money/bills appointment with cobi, and am gonna cancel the shopping too.

2:41 am

sprite

day is gonna be flippin' empty. Can't move :(

2:42 am

grannyrose

poor you, sprite.

2:43 am

sprite

ah well, this, too, shall pass. It is not serious. Just hurts.

2:44 am

sprite

I love the aa words.

2:44 am

grannyrose

just be careful, my dear. i wish there was some way that the boyo could actually experience your pain.

2:45 am

sprite

yeah for 5 mins. It would sure change things.

2:46 am

grannyrose

actually, when you get to sit and talk with him, why not remind him of the pain after his accident. tell him that level of pain is what you experience every day. sometimes the young do'nt understand about pain.

2:47 am

grannyrose

but he has now been through pain and he will remember how wretched he was feeling. it would be a good comparison.

2:47 am

sprite

well, I don't need him to treat me like an invalid, tbh. Just the normal courtesy would be nice. He has to learn he cannot stand over people and yell at them.

2:49 am

sprite

and he has to learn that when he drops something with a lot of noise, and people ask what happened, they want an answer that tells them what happened. Normal communication, would be enough.

2:49 am

grannyrose

if he understood that his treatment of you causes that level of pain, at least he might pull his horns in.

2:49 am

grannyrose

all you say is true.

2:50 am

sprite

yeah I hear ya. Will try and tell him. Will see if I can catch him somewhere today when we both have time.

2:52 am

sprite

but at least, rose, it isn't as bad as it used to be. He is doing his chores, he acts relatively normal, doesn't run away, etc.

2:53 am

grannyrose

it's a start. i mustn't overlook that. it is just heartbreaking to he4 about another bout.

2:54 am

sprite

:) It is great to have you in my corner, darling

2:59 am

grannyrose

how are you doing with the grid?

3:00 am

sprite

5 left

3:00 am

grannyrose

well done.

3:00 am

sprite

for some reason, po**ed is not a valid word, lol

3:02 am

sprite

fireflies. Smooth sailing today.

3:02 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

3:03 am

grannyrose

sprite, can you please try and explain something for me?

3:03 am

sprite

if I can, sure

3:04 am

grannyrose

we have a hamper in our room, on don's sode of the room. why when he takes off his jocks and socks at night, are they left on the floor in front of the hamper?

3:04 am

grannyrose

* side *

3:05 am

sprite

from the top of my head, I would say because you trained him that way... by always picking them up. Leave them there until he runs out... :D

3:06 am

grannyrose

lol.....i don't pick them up for him. the next morning he picks them up and puts them in the hamper. why not do it when he takes them off?

3:07 am

sprite

oh because he can't be bothered at night. He wants to undress and get into bed. Remember, men focus very well on one task.

3:08 am

grannyrose

lol...like hoping i am still awake?

3:08 am

sprite

that too, lolllll. Well, as long as he puts them in the hamper, let him do it at his time, grin.

3:09 am

grannyrose

timer just went off, don is serving up now

3:09 am

sprite

ok darling. Go enjoy your dinner. I hope you will ahve a good night again. *hugs*

3:09 am

grannyrose

thanx sweetie. just relax today, okay. let your body and mind heal.

3:09 am

crosshair

Good morning everyone:)

6:01 am

sukee

Crossy! Where have you been?

6:01 am

sukee

Hi all.

6:07 am

crosshair

howdy, sukee:)

6:07 am

crosshair

I have had internet issues of late:(

6:08 am

sukee

Glad you are back.

6:08 am

crosshair

As am I:)

6:09 am

sukee

Having troubles myself the latest update of iTunes messed up and now I can't even delete the old one. Says I don't have permission, when I am the sole administrator.

6:09 am

sukee

Nothing I try seems to work.

6:10 am

crosshair

If you have a separate pw for admin sometimes it seems to default to your pw for turing on your computer profile. Happened to me one. If that fails try a system restore and go back a week or two and see if that helps

6:11 am

crosshair

once*

6:11 am

sukee

Good idea about the restore.

6:12 am

sukee

Had forgotten about that :)

6:12 am

crosshair

I love the system restore feature:) Has saved me lots of headaches in the past

6:12 am

sukee

Yes, that helped me get rid of a virus once.

6:13 am

sukee

Be right back, time to force medicine in the cat :)

6:13 am

crosshair

I try to fiddle with admin settings as little as possible because it drives me nuts getting locked out of parts of my own computer:(

6:14 am

crosshair

That is always fun. should buy some of those pill pocket treats

6:15 am

sukee

Done, the syringe works well :)

6:17 am

crosshair

We have one of those pet syringes as well. Things are also handy for carrying an emergency shot of Jack Daniel's to a boring social function:)

6:17 am

sukee

Time to go make breakfast, talk to you later.

6:20 am

crosshair

The wide bore on those plastic syringes allows for quick injection of of libations of an adult nature into any glass or stein.

6:32 am

mattygroves

I AM GROOT. Sadly, he's not in the dictionary :(

6:32 am

6:33 am

6:55 am

crosshair

6:56 am

crosshair

hear the news? Harper lee is putting out a new book. It is to be a sequel of To Kill a Mockingbird. Thing has been sitting in storage and forgotten since she finished it in the 1950's.

7:02 am

crosshair

anyways, must head to class. Take care all, and happy babbling. poink!

7:20 am

MollyL

It's interesting that this new book of Haprer Lee's (Go Set A Watchman) was written before To Kill A Mockingbird. Lee's editor liked the first story so much, she asked Lee to write another story, based on Scout's childhood. The manuscript was thought to be lost, until it was discovered in archives last year.

7:30 am

JBV

Hi Babblers - Hi Molly - I heard it differently last night - the editor did not like the story so much and asked her to rewrite it from the point of view of the child

7:48 am

yesterday from my window it looked clear, so I put on my hat, coat, gloves, boats, the whole 9 yards, but when I opened the door I saw the top half of hte driveway was like a skating rink so I came back in

7:51 am

Anniebrook

Anniebrook

I will make an attempt, if too icy, Im back in. I fell last ye4 on ice and it took me weeks to feel better.

7:56 am

MollyL

Yaktrax...they slip over your shoes or boots and add studded traction to your walking. Invaluable when it's icy out and you have to walk somewhere.

7:56 am

Anniebrook

I will look into Yaktrax.....thanks Molly

7:56 am

phaeton

do yak's have studs on their hooves?

7:56 am

Anniebrook

lol

7:57 am

oh!

12:44 pm

ooooooooooooooh. ty. didnt realize

12:44 pm

thank you molly, perfect timing on my part too lol xx

12:45 pm

bichon

hi Annie, hego, Molly, mkg

12:45 pm

bichon

and jacq

12:45 pm

Anniebrook

hi bichon, warmer today, thank goodness

12:46 pm

jacq

hello everybody, sorry am watching the mentalist and playing, very rude i know but it's season 1 again and i missed most of that one lol

12:46 pm

hego

practically balmy

12:46 pm

bichon

Yes, and less ice. But it's back to snow again tomorrow

12:46 pm

hego

Jacq, I love The Mentalist.

12:48 pm

jacq

same here hego, not sure about the seasons after he got red john though, final season starts this week here

12:49 pm

hego

final season was okay. A little different. The early ones were the best, tho.

12:49 pm

jacq

i agree hego, when he was still looking, very good ones

12:50 pm

ChrissieDee

Don't give anything away hego. Final season starts here soon

12:50 pm

hego

I won't

12:50 pm

MollyL

Why is it that good TV shows seem to peter out in their final seasons? Do the writers get lazy or what?

12:51 pm

ChrissieDee

Oh, jacq just said that :)

12:51 pm

hego

Molly, good question.

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

A quick hello from snowy France where the dogs say "oof"

12:51 pm

jacq

i think it's greed, they take them past their natural conclusion and push it beyond believable

12:52 pm

bichon

a quick hello from snowy CT

12:53 pm

hego

and snowy NJ.

12:53 pm

rubyfoo

The pups love it and stay outside most of the time

12:53 pm

MollyL

Interesting point Jac. We have been discussing something similar on another board and several people have said they enjoy short run series better than the ones that go on for season after season.

12:53 pm

jacq

no snow in my wee corner of scotland yet, just lots of wind and rain

12:53 pm

hego

They have excellent fur coats.

12:54 pm

cybernan

the good shows have such short seasons -- madam secretary being one, also downton. Hope Granchester sticks around for a while -- like it better than Father Brown

12:54 pm

hego

Jacq, that sounds like Scotland okay.

12:54 pm

bichon

mine are huddled inside

12:54 pm

rubyfoo

Raffie, especially, has an undercoat that feels like felt and then very long fur over that.

12:54 pm

hego

Grantchester is good.

12:54 pm

jacq

some programs can run on, there is enough variety in the subject matter that they can avoid repetition, but others maybe have a 5 or 6 season run at best before it gets boring

12:54 pm

hego

And the lead is so hansome!

12:55 pm

hego

handsome!!

12:55 pm

cybernan

reminds me of a young robert redford

12:55 pm

hego

better, even

12:56 pm

MollyL

Broadchurch would be a great example, but apparently greed took over because I hear there is a Season 2 coming.

12:57 pm

jacq

sometimes a season two can be better becuase the actors have had time to mature into their roles too

12:59 pm

MollyL

Oh I thought the actors in Broadchurch were just fine in the first season. And the story that was being told, ended.

12:59 pm

jacq

true it did have a conclusion, we will have to wait and see what they do ...

1:00 pm

hego

They will have a new adventure, I guess.

1:00 pm

MollyL

It is the only British series I have enjoyed. Most of them are the same thing, different venue. Some stuffy detective or doctor doing their thing in a stuffy English country town.

1:01 pm

jacq

better go do another wee bit of housework will be back to finish (hopefully) later, take care everyone

1:01 pm

jacq

am addicted to NCIS btw lol

1:01 pm

hego

Bye jacq

1:01 pm

hego

Me too

1:01 pm

hego

Now there's a show that goes on and on.

1:02 pm

cybernan

like the original ncis but not the spin offs

1:02 pm

hego

And is still the most watched scripted show on TV.

1:02 pm

hego

I watch the original.

1:04 pm

bichon

I stopped watching NCIS when ZIVA left.

1:04 pm

hego

I liked her too. Wish they would bring her back.

1:05 pm

bichon

I found it too formulaic. The character did their same thing all the time

1:06 pm

hego

Bichon, I think that may be the secret of their longevity.

1:06 pm

bichon

I've watched L&O SVU forever, and I get tired of it too.

1:07 pm

Anniebrook

The original L &O with Jerry Ohrbach was great

1:08 pm

hego

I like Blue Bloods too.

1:08 pm

bichon

With Sam Waterston

1:09 pm

bichon

I've watched Criminal Minds forever too

1:09 pm

hego

good show

1:10 pm

MollyL

Blue Bloods...I could listen to Tom Selleck read the phone book...

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

We get endless re-runs of L and O and Special Victims and Serious Crimes. All the Dick Wolf series. I just saw Molly's comment" I dream about Tom Selleck!

1:10 pm

hego

lol, it's a good premise too.

1:11 pm

MollyL

Formulaic...that gets tossed around about a lot of TV shows. People say it about 24 too.

1:11 pm

bichon

Bring back Jack Bauer

1:11 pm

hego

He says he won't do it again.

1:12 pm

bichon

Reruns would do

1:12 pm

MollyL

The other comment I hear about shows like 24 (and now, The Blacklist) is..."It's too complicated, I can't follow the plot"

1:13 pm

hego

I like Blacklist. Spader fan.

1:13 pm

MollyL

I guess if you can't play Angry Birds and look at Facebook while a show is on, it's too complicated.

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

Given the choices here, the Dick Wolf series are always enjoyable and we've had several seasons of Blue Bloods. Have you seen any of the Jesse Stone films with Tom?

1:13 pm

bichon

I certainly didn't find 24 difficult to follow, but you had to watch every episode for 24 weeks

1:14 pm

bichon

corot

1:14 pm

hego

uh uh

1:14 pm

bichon

I was thinking of the artis

1:15 pm

rubyfoo

Does anybody like The Newsroom? Tonight will air the final two episodes

1:15 pm

hego

:)

1:16 pm

bichon

Yes, I was very surprised that more people didn't watch Newsroom. It had a lot going for it

1:16 pm

rubyfoo

How many seAsons are there?

1:16 pm

hego

I watched it early on but got bored.

1:17 pm

bichon

Just three.

1:17 pm

rubyfoo

I like the way it integrates real news and names names of politicians

1:17 pm

bichon

It wasn't a popular hit and HBO really gave up on it

1:17 pm

rubyfoo

I don't know which season I've been watching

1:18 pm

bichon

The third is the last.

1:19 pm

rubyfoo

good night everybody

Howdy, turqaz:) I do not see you in the chog very often;)

2:07 pm

until last week i hadn't played for some months!

2:08 pm

redshoes

Anyone have any suggestions on a home security system? I found a local one I like, but Dad wants to look national too

2:10 pm

crosshair

A large doberman:)... no, AdT formerly Brinks security is very good

2:11 pm

crosshair

ADT*

2:11 pm

crosshair

or is it ATI?.. they changed their name and I cannot remember

2:13 pm

o-o

Broadview Security

2:13 pm

turqaz

i can't find an5 or an6. clues, plz?

2:14 pm

crosshair

I will look with you, turqaz

2:15 pm

turqaz

thx!

2:15 pm

o-o

an + pro or ***
an + pine **** (seed)

2:15 pm

LuvWordGames

an + not pro and then add vowel for 6

2:16 pm

crosshair

an 5= Watson! The game's af5!

2:16 pm

crosshair

nm me.. I should not be cluing after that class session today:)

2:19 pm

turqaz

got 'em! thx

2:19 pm

o-o

Broadview Security has since been acquired by Tyco International[3] and has merged with ADT Security Services.

2:20 pm

o-o

You were right, crossy

2:21 pm

o-o

yw, turqaz

2:24 pm

crosshair

So it is now "big brother" in that it has assimilated all the rest of the smaller ones;)

2:27 pm

Actually it is more like the Borg I suppose:)

2:29 pm

crosshair

bbl later my friends..poink!

3:48 pm

redshoes

Sorry, I asked a question and disappeared again. Gotta stop doing that.

3:51 pm

Soodle

Hiya Redshoes - I agree with Crossy. A big, noisy dog is as good a deterrent as any fancy-ass alarm system. We used to have a rothweiller (RIP). He was an old pussycat, but he looked the part!

3:52 pm

redshoes

Can't have pets at my place. :( Wish I could move, but I'm not really even paying rent at the moment (building a tab, if you will) and can't afford it.

3:53 pm

redshoes

(Dad's paying for security system)

3:58 pm

Soodle

Ok! I admit - a rothweiller would be pretty hard to hide - unlike a goldfish! Lol.

4:00 pm

Soodle

I live in an isolated rural area, with lots of space, so it was easy to house a big dog. I hope you find a good system at a reasonable price. :-)

4:14 pm

A teal long distance love affair. lol

5:40 pm

Lizlin

5:40 pm

jaxx7

real even. This grid is getting to me.

5:41 pm

Lizlin

Would've been a better rhyme, if I had still needed that final word!

5:41 pm

bichon

Hi Liz, jaaxx

5:41 pm

Soodle

Jaxx! How nice to see you.

5:41 pm

Lizlin

Hi bichon - hope you're keeping warm in all that snow.

5:42 pm

(((soodle)))

5:42 pm

Douglas

It's the first verse of the first song on Bob Dylan's album "Together Through Life"

5:42 pm

Lizlin

Hi soodle

5:42 pm

jaxx7

You have spoiled the surprise, Doug

5:42 pm

Lizlin

thanks, Douglas - knew it sounded familiar - couldn't place it.

5:42 pm

bichon

5:43 pm

bichon

It's warm in the house, that's about it

5:43 pm

I am just going to say Hi all or we'll be here all night. lol

5:45 pm

Soodle

A bracing minus 7 here tonight! Do I care? No I don't. My heating is fixed :-)

5:46 pm

jaxx7

Soodle, my dear, how are you?

5:46 pm

Soodle

I'm good thanks for asking, Jaxx. And you?

5:47 pm

jaxx7

Ours has developed a longgroan every so often. It sounds as if we are torturing someone. All the use, I reckon, in this freezing weather.

5:48 pm

Douglas

I'm pleased that Orac from Blake's 7 is in the grid

5:48 pm

jaxx7

I am soldiering on with my parathyroid problems. They make me feel tired and listless but I now only have to wait until March 6th.

5:48 pm

Lizlin

Used to love Blake's 7 - the final episode spoilt my birthday, though!

5:49 pm

jaxx7

Turn the last two letters round, Doug, and you have a word from the grid

5:50 pm

Soodle

I go out to my boilerhouse every couple of days, and stroke it & tell it how much I love it. The boiler, that is. I hope to prolong it's life with TLC.

5:51 pm

Lizlin

That sounds like the sort of thing I'd do - TLC is good for everything.

5:51 pm

Douglas

My children recently saw the movie Blackfish, and are persuaded that the or4 at Sea World are horribly abused.

5:51 pm

jaxx7

Should work, soodle.

5:51 pm

jaxx7

There has been a petition on that very subject.

5:52 pm

Soodle

oh, guaranteed! Inanimate objects really respond to the pleas of menopausal old ladies.

5:53 pm

jaxx7

Trying to sever the link between travel agencies and the cruelty dished out to those mammals

5:53 pm

Lizlin

The bad press for Seaworld in the US has also badly affected our sea world here. That's a shame because ours doesn't have orcas in it and also does a huge amount to help the humpbacks and other wildlife here.

5:53 pm

jaxx7

If you heard my boiler shrieking you wouldn't think it was inanimate, believe me

6:04 pm

Douglas

So what is the most interesting word you have found so far?

6:04 pm

jaxx7

It has gone past midnight here. I have almost lost the will to live with this grid so I am off to my bed. Night all
