cooee and g'day from me

1:11 am

flosey

Hi everyone, glad to see it's a small one, we have to get to bed because the kids are getting the early ferry home tomorrow morning 6:15!!! we have to be up at 4:45 am, comes too early

1:12 am

grannyrose

hi flosey dear

2:32 am

sprite

good morning all

2:32 am

flosey

hi sprite, and wow, nothing has happened since I left! guess most finished before I started

2:33 am

sprite

hi flosey :) How are you today?

2:34 am

flosey

good thanks sprite, just can't sleep and have to be up in 4 more hours, so will see if I can find a few words

2:34 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} sprite. bad timing hin. dinner is on and cooking. darn it!!

2:34 am

sprite

yeah chat is very quiet. Maybe an easy grid?

2:34 am

flosey

and how are you sprite?

2:35 am

sprite

ugh, that insomnia. Am so sorry you have to struggle with that.

2:35 am

sprite

I am fine, thanks :)

2:36 am

sprite

hello my dear friend :) Go eat dinner, sweetie. I'll be here after.

2:36 am

grannyrose

not yet. i need a spritey hug. i have had to take extra magnesium and valium for the spasms in my rib cage. waaahhh!

2:37 am

grannyrose

when i rub my ribs it feels like i am rubbing big bruises, 'cept i'm not.

2:38 am

sprite

*gives rose a gentle but very warm spritey hug*

2:38 am

grannyrose

latest update....workcover insurers have formally accepted the medical panel's decision. now i play the waiting game yet again...when all i want to do is shout.....show me the money!!

2:39 am

sprite

yeah that is not bruising, that is muscles which are screaming from being overstressed by the spasms. Poor you!

2:39 am

sprite

waiting sucks, no doubt about it. But at least that is good news. Seems they finally managed to find back that one braincell they are sharing there.

2:40 am

sprite

do you have a busy day ahead of you, flosey?

2:40 am

grannyrose

roflolol...sprite. thanx dearest, i so needed that laugh.

2:41 am

flosey

just have to be up at 4:45 when the kids leave to catch early ferry

2:41 am

grannyrose

since last august my income has been AU$33/ fortnight. fortunately with my mum's money, and don's help too, i have managed.

2:41 am

flosey

then we can try to sleep after they go

2:41 am

grannyrose

flosey, how long is the ferry ride?

2:41 am

sprite

oh and rose, absolutely, go ahead and give stiddie my email addy. It is in my profile as well.

2:42 am

sprite

wow flosey, that is soooo early!

2:42 am

grannyrose

oh, i miss read....kids on ferry, not flosey.

2:42 am

grannyrose

thanx sprite.

2:42 am

flosey

depends on stops, if non stop, it's about 1 1/2 hr - but add 1/2 hr. for each stop at other gulf islands

2:43 am

sprite

sounds like a cruise :D

2:43 am

flosey

it might feel that way the first time, sprite

2:44 am

grannyrose

i have just finished a hammond innes book called ' high stand '. gave me some insi5 into the canadian mountains etc.

2:45 am

sprite

hehehe laughing is good, rose. But it is criminal, I think, to leave somebody without income, knowing they are in pain and handicapped... it is one reason to sue them for all they are worth.

2:45 am

flosey

they're so beautiful, rose - but not enough snow this year, hardly any skiing

2:45 am

grannyrose

<-------wants sprite in my corner.

2:46 am

sprite

yeah I can imagine it becomes like a train or bus trip when you do it often, flosey. And then the extra time is just a drag.

2:46 am

flosey

yes Sprite, you'd have made a good lawyer

2:46 am

sprite

rose, I will always be in your corner. Swinging an axe and screaming like a banshee.

2:46 am

sprite

*grin* missed my calling?

2:47 am

flosey

just found the up6 and 7

2:47 am

sprite

I have yet to start entering words! *blinks* Lo and behold, there is a grid here!

2:48 am

grannyrose

typing quickly....timer just went off.

2:48 am

sprite

and thanks for the ups

2:48 am

sprite

ok sweetie, enjoy your meal

2:48 am

grannyrose

*hands sprite her coffee* big sips dear

2:48 am

sprite

ahhhh coffee :D

2:49 am

grannyrose

bbs, my dear. flosey if you leave before i come back, sweet dreams, hin

2:50 am

flosey

tks Rose, enjoy your dinner

2:53 am

sprite

my son has managed to oversleep again, for his 'second chance' exam. He is incredible, sigh.

2:54 am

sprite

:( and God's winged helper + what grows on our head is not a word. Guess it is two words in english.

2:57 am

flosey

but thanks Sprite for 2 words

2:57 am

sprite

yvw :)

2:58 am

sprite

you know, my son and I made a deal that on exam mornings, I would wake him if he slept through his alarm. So... he didn't tell me he had his second chance exam today. I swear, that kid will never learn. He is 18, for crying out loud.

2:59 am

sprite

brb

3:00 am

flosey

agree, at 18 he should be able to get himself up and out when necessary - you need your rest too

3:00 am

flosey

going to try to sleep now, bb sometime tomorrow

3:03 am

sprite

I hope you will sleep quickly and well, flosey

3:04 am

grannyrose

and back...

3:04 am

sprite

I can do without sleep and rest... I will gladly rise early in the morning to wake him... but he will have to tell me he has another exam. He really does not take any responsibility for himself. And I refuse to do it for him anymore.

3:04 am

sprite

welcome back darling. How was your dinner?

3:05 am

sprite

phantom: titular

3:05 am

grannyrose

yummy. fisherman's pie. a sort of white fish casserole with broccoli, corn kernels, cauliflower, and topped with mashed potato, browned.

3:06 am

sprite

sounds delish

3:06 am

grannyrose

oh, and a bechamel sauce, of course.

3:06 am

sprite

nice :D

3:08 am

sprite

tell my teenager kids that puhleas is not a word

3:08 am

grannyrose

lolol....it isn't?? what a shame!

3:09 am

sprite

enable is so behind the times, lol. Did you read what I posted about Tim?

3:10 am

grannyrose

yes, the idiot. communication is a two-way street. he has to open his mouth and flap his gums.

3:10 am

grannyrose

you are Supermum, but telepathy not in the job description.

3:10 am

sprite

for some reason they lose their common sense at 12 and as a mother you can only hope for them to find it back before they are 72.

3:11 am

sprite

you got it right, rose. And I refuse to treat him like the 12 yo he is acting like. In the end, it is his responsibility. I am willing to help, but I am not gonna think for him.

3:13 am

sprite

which inspires me for another babble dictionary word. How about antiapt - intentionally inept ?

3:13 am

dizgrannie

is there any Parents out their that can shed some light on a 12 yr old boy being soooo emotional.....the poor bugger, you tell him off and he cries....not like him. Me reckons puberty???

3:15 am

sprite

sounds like, dizgrannie, yes. When the hormones start raging, things get crazy. But worth checking if anything else is going on. Like bullying or the end of a kid's love or a broken friendship.

3:15 am

grannyrose

it could be puberty....is everything okay at home?

3:17 am

dizgrannie

Kods is a ADHD/OCD kiddo and has just had his 12th birfy. Mums b/f finally moved out, but Kods has a great relationship with his Dad

3:17 am

sprite

or, as rose says, something going on at home. Too many fights, pending divorce, some kind of abuse even... not likely, but worth checking for.

3:18 am

sprite

ah. Could very well be his reaction to a lot of stress at home then. When you say 'finally moved out', it means it took some doing... and that you are glad he left.

3:18 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

3:19 am

grannyrose

ahhhh, it certainly sounds like a bit of grief there.

3:19 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} liz girl

3:19 am

sprite

hi Liz! How are you two today?

3:19 am

Lizlin

Hugs Rose and Sprite

3:19 am

dizgrannie

spot on Sprite. but Kods thought a lot of th b/f

3:19 am

Lizlin

Very well thanks. All's good in our world.

3:20 am

Lizlin

Hope things are good with you too.

3:20 am

grannyrose

nice, liz.

3:21 am

grannyrose

diz...it really sounds like Kod liked his mum's bf. he is grieving. extra hugs if he will allow it.

3:21 am

sprite

that would only make it harder on him, I guess, dizgrannie. Sounds like his father left in divorce, and now the live-in b/f left, leaving Kods all over again. Not at all an easy thing to handle for a kid his age.

3:22 am

sprite

not sure how your relationship is with them, dizgrannie, or how close to you they are living... it might work to go do something with him. An outing, something active, and he might open up during the activities.

3:22 am

grannyrose

perhaps diz.....you could say something along the lines....b/f's departure must have hurt you. try and get him to open up.

3:22 am

Lizlin

Just popped in to say hi - won't interrupt. Stuff to do. Have a good day sprite. Rose and Diz enjoy your evenings.

3:23 am

grannyrose

ta liz. xoxox

3:23 am

sprite

you never interrupt, Liz! And I still wanna hear how you and your husband are doing today!

3:23 am

dizgrannie

Kods dad is only ever there for 'pick up and drop off'

3:23 am

sprite

oh nm, I missed your post, sorry. Glad you are fine :) *hugs*

3:24 am

Lizlin

Like I sais, we're really well and have had a lovely couple of days - keeping very busy!

3:25 am

Lizlin

Will email later in the week. Wifi difficulties right now, so using too much data like this! Catch you soon.

3:25 am

sprite

all in all, Kods has many good reasons to be emotional. Lots of love, and yeah, take him out, do stuff with him, anything that involves being together without focusing on talk. Even doing the dishes tiogether might work. Boys his age tend to start talking then.

3:25 am

sprite

bye Liz! Wifi can be so irritating when it fails you.

3:27 am

dizgrannie

Sprite, me g/dad and Kods spend every Tuesday night together, but he seldom talks about his probs, but he enjoys our 'one off' nights

3:28 am

sprite

ah wonderful! Maybe you can do something totally different with him next time. Go someplace else, walk in the woods, make a fire, roast some marshmellows. And gently nudge if he doesn't talk.

3:29 am

berr1

hi everyone

3:29 am

dizgrannie

lol Sprite....middle of summer here but I get ya grift.

3:29 am

sprite

hello berr

3:30 am

sprite

*grins* sorry dizgrannie,s hould have realised!

3:30 am

grannyrose

g'day berr1

3:30 am

dizgrannie

*drift

3:31 am

grannyrose

you can still make a fire, just not in the open air....lol

3:32 am

sprite

something to bear in mind... when things are rough for kids and they have no control over what happens, psychologically they tend to blame themselves and they feel guilty. It is a mechanism that makes it more bearable for them... because being powerless is much worse than being guilty.

3:32 am

sprite

no open fires in woods in aussie in summer, lol, I understand :)

3:32 am

sprite

far worse*

3:36 am

dizgrannie

Kods needs stabilitiy and with the b/friend leaving....things are unpredictable.

3:36 am

sprite

what I mean to say is, he might feel that since his dad and the b'f left them, he is not worth staying for. It wouldn't hurt to let him know that he is in no way to blame for either ma4 role model leaving them.

3:38 am

grannyrose

what sprite says, diz

3:38 am

dizgrannie

Sprite, thankfully he looks up to his g/dad more than his dad or anyone of his Mums b/fs

3:42 am

sprite

that is a very good thing, I think, dizgrannie. The influence of grandparents is enormous.

3:46 am

grannyrose

hmmm, diz. Kods may open up to g'dad. i know my sons did. their father was no help. talk to your hubby, hin.

3:46 am

sprite

what rose says :)

3:47 am

sprite

yep, an outing with granddad, doing manly stuff. Working side by side on something. Kids (and men in general) talk more easily when they are not facing you but are beside you doing something with their hands.

3:50 am

grannyrose

my sons adored their Pop. i will never forget the knot of grief at dad's funeral. the three of them, arms around each other.

3:51 am

sprite

*hugs rose*

3:51 am

grannyrose

so at my mother's funeral, i stepped into a teeny gap, and wept with them.

3:52 am

sprite

very good, rose *another hug*

3:53 am

grannyrose

it's such a pity Dan decided to be so nasty and exclude me from their father's funeral. i am their mother and it is partly my responsibility to comfort my children. that young man needs to be smacked....HARD

3:54 am

sprite

he had no right to do that, rose, and you had no reason to comply with his nastiness. The man was the father of your children, you were just as entitled to some closure and ri6 as they were.

3:56 am

grannyrose

i know, honey. but the kid said he would forcibly remove me from the funeral. i just didn't think it was appropriate to make a point.

3:57 am

sprite

nobody needs fights during funerals, I agree, darling. Just saying it was highly unfair and unreasonable.

4:07 am

sprite

rose, not asking for a clue yet, but just say yes or no: is the ea4/10 a fish?

4:07 am

grannyrose

hmmmm, sort of.....

4:08 am

grannyrose

look at the point count

4:08 am

sprite

ok, thanks my dear friend :) *determined to find the lil' bugger*

4:08 am

sprite

ahhhh of course. Hit me with a guppy!

4:09 am

rubyfoo

good morning. I am trying to hide from my husband who is driving me crazy. I just wnt him to leave me alone!

4:11 am

grannyrose

* gets out the guppies *.....*swings right arm back *....oh hello ruby....

4:12 am

grannyrose

* bats eyelashes innocently * sprite wants me to hit her with a guppy...

4:13 am

grannyrose

that ea4 shouldn't be an issue for ruby....lol

4:13 am

rubyfoo

he just followed me down here!

4:14 am

grannyrose

hide, ruby, hide.

4:22 am

sprite

jeezz rose, me gal, you gotta aim!

4:22 am

sprite

hi ruby :)

4:23 am

sprite

awwww a trespasser in your domain! Set the dogs on him!

4:23 am

rubyfoo

I am in so much pain and he goes on and on

4:23 am

grannyrose

but you caught it so beautifully with your teeth....col

4:24 am

grannyrose

you didn't tell me you were half se4....,

4:24 am

sprite

*chews guppy, trying not to get nose hit by flapping of tail*

4:25 am

sprite

poor ruby. Time to tell him you need time for yourself and to go back upstairs, and wait for you to come back up later.

4:25 am

grannyrose

now clap your flippers....lolol

4:25 am

sprite

*clap clap clap*

4:26 am

grannyrose

and say....arf, arf, arf......

4:26 am

sprite

*refuses to say arf but bounces beachball on nose*

4:27 am

rubyfoo

it is nice that there's a circus in here

4:27 am

rubyfoo

cheerful

4:27 am

grannyrose

* belly laughing * i want pictures....

4:27 am

sprite

yeah, we go out of our way to cheer you up, ruby :)

4:27 am

rubyfoo

French dogs say Ooof

4:27 am

sprite

dutch dogs say woef and waf

4:28 am

grannyrose

aussie dogs bark.....

4:28 am

grannyrose

oh and yap....

4:28 am

sprite

dutch dogs blaffen

4:28 am

rubyfoo

Raffie sometimes howls like Crossy's wolf

4:28 am

sprite

oh, or keffen :)

4:28 am

grannyrose

which i am sure you have noticed is pay backwards....

4:28 am

sprite

english dogs say may I please have my dinner now

4:29 am

rubyfoo

hahah (hurts when I laugh, but it's still the best medicine)

4:29 am

sprite

that is what you will get at the v ery least, rose... the pay of all your wages backward :D

4:30 am

sprite

when your spirit is lifted a bit, the pain is a little more bearable, ruby. Rose and I both know this to be true :)

4:30 am

jwr

according to the dogfood ads, American dogs say "bacon, bacon, bacon" ... only the could be crossy too

4:30 am

jwr

that

4:30 am

rubyfoo

hahah

4:30 am

sprite

ergo, jwr, crossy is a dog :)

4:30 am

rubyfoo

no bacon in France

4:30 am

grannyrose

poor ruby, try the post appendicectomy laugh....sort of all in the throat...

4:30 am

sprite

and hi, great to see you

4:31 am

rubyfoo

I think he's more of a wolf, but a lovely one

4:31 am

sprite

crossy rocks

4:31 am

grannyrose

g'day jwr

4:32 am

grannyrose

only with maple syrup.....<-----loves maple syrup

4:32 am

jwr

weird logic you Nederlanders! Hi Spritey - and ruby and rose. And yes. I figured it was okay to talk behind someone's back as long as we were stroking it.

4:32 am

sprite

*slides towards rose on her belly and then rears up to hit her with a flipper* You are IT!

4:32 am

rubyfoo

my mother used to make me snow ice cream with maple syrup

4:32 am

sprite

absolutely, jwr. Who knows, we might entice crossy out of hiding!

4:33 am

grannyrose

lol, jwr. i am sure crossy appreciates it....along with the stroking of his ego.

4:33 am

jwr

now there's a twist, Rose - I can afford bacon, but not real maple syrup.

4:33 am

rubyfoo

I can imagine what is said behind mine "ruby, the whine queen"

4:33 am

grannyrose

never darling ruby. you are always spoken of with the greatest of love and respect.

4:33 am

jwr

is that red or white whine, ruby?

4:34 am

sprite

there is this lovely quote that goes "What other people think of you is none of your business."

4:34 am

jwr

ha. never heard that one. I love it.

4:34 am

rubyfoo

the waiter says "would you like a little whine with your diner? Aaaawww"

4:34 am

sprite

lol and then ruby says: Thanks, I already have one ;)

4:35 am

jwr

ouch. I'm sorry, did I start this? shame on me.

4:35 am

rubyfoo

no, ouches are reserved for me

4:35 am

grannyrose

hint...hint...have just taken my meds.

4:35 am

sprite

no you didn't, jwr. No shame anywhere.

4:36 am

rubyfoo

And I just tried to reach my doctor as the weekend was desperatey bad and she's on a holidasy for another week!

4:36 am

sprite

lol... at any moment, rose may drop off the chog... either flatfacing the keyboard or making it all the way to bed

4:36 am

sprite

omg ruby... doesn't she have a replacement?

4:36 am

sprite

substitute... whatever

4:36 am

grannyrose

how dare she, ruby? i mean...a doctor on holiday?? whoever heard of such a thing?

4:37 am

rubyfoo

yes, but as she's ot the sharpest knife in the drawer I can't imagine that her intern will be better.

4:37 am

rubyfoo

This is France,Rose, everybody goes on loooong holidays]

4:37 am

rubyfoo

not*

4:38 am

grannyrose

you never know ruby. give it a go. i have been pleasantly surprised at times.

4:38 am

rubyfoo

now I have to decide whether to take Burt to lunch or not. He will probably say he doesn't feel like eating

4:38 am

grannyrose

often the new doctors are more up to date.

4:39 am

jwr

If people can leave treats in the PB, I don't see why we can't leave medicine ... (I know, we're not supposed to share them, but if the doctor's away ....)

4:39 am

sprite

you need to eat, rose. Tkae burt to lunch and make sure you eat something. If burt doesn't want to go, tell him YOU want to eat something.

4:39 am

rubyfoo

I have enough painkillers in the house to kills an army, but they don't work on me

4:39 am

grannyrose

* explosive laughter * jwr

4:40 am

sprite

oh good idea, jwr! *Puts panacea in pb*

4:40 am

jwr

That's great, rose -- Laughter, they say, is the best medicine!

4:40 am

sprite

ruby, what exactly is hurting? Muscles, organs, nerves or bone?

4:40 am

rubyfoo

what out for those commas, sprite -- eats shoots and leaves

4:40 am

grannyrose

ummm sprite? i have already eaten....but i am quite willing to oblige.

4:40 am

rubyfoo

watch*

4:41 am

sprite

so true, jwr.

4:41 am

sprite

lolllll ruby! Indeed.

4:41 am

jwr

run that by me again: eats, shoots, and leaves??

4:41 am

rubyfoo

It's the pleurisy inflammation of the pleura, the membrane across and around the chest. It is torn and the pain is excruciating at times

4:41 am

sprite

sorry sorry sorry. I meant ruby. My fingers automatically typed rose.

4:42 am

jwr

oh, that's so painful ruby. What is being done?

4:42 am

rubyfoo

jwr{ it is the title of a book. The author had seen n article about pandas with that quote, without commas

4:42 am

rubyfoo

only trying to control the pain. Bedrest would help, but that's not an option in the Ruby circus

4:43 am

jwr

what's the prognosis, ruby?

4:43 am

rubyfoo

"Wait 'til summer, it should get better when it's warm"

4:43 am

sprite

it is a joke about punctuation, jwr. A panda goes into a bar, orders some snacks, eats them, then pulls a gun and fires it in the ceiling. Then he makes for the door. The bartender stops him and says, what the heck is that all about?
And the panda shows him a book and says, it is all here in black and white. "A panda eats, shoots and leaves."

4:44 am

rubyfoo

eats shoots and leaves, without the commas! hahah

4:44 am

sprite

ugh right, without the comma

4:44 am

jwr

good grief! I thought I was inventing a joke and it turns out to be real!

4:45 am

sprite

leave it to me to ruin the punchline of a joke

4:45 am

grannyrose

i thought it was wombats who eats, shoots and leaves.

4:45 am

jwr

never apologize for telling the truth

4:45 am

sprite

lol jwr

4:45 am

sprite

good one, jwr

4:45 am

jwr

wombats can't get licenses in this state

4:46 am

grannyrose

and pandas can?

4:46 am

4:47 am

grannyrose

4:47 am

jwr

oh, lovely chattering with you all but I need to get back to work. ... oh one more. After 3 months in the waiting room, sprite, they are too weak to hold the weapons.

4:47 am

sprite

4:47 am

jwr

4:49 am

grannyrose

4:50 am

sprite

lol my ever optimistic son... "Mum, a good thing in this crisis: if it had been the science exam I'd missed, I wouldn't have been allowed to do the final exams."

4:50 am

sprite

right here. See? Not a word about wombats. Might be because on the cover it says: All you need to know about pandas.

4:51 am

grannyrose

stupid publishers...the word should be wombats...

4:52 am

sprite

panbats

4:52 am

grannyrose

4:56 am

grannyrose

how is the grid for you sprite? i promise to stick to stats.

4:56 am

grannyrose

absolutely, sprite.

4:57 am

sprite

4:57 am

grannyrose

yeah, a twisty one for sure

4:58 am

grannyrose

5:07 am

7:29 am

car.eeyore

Ugh. I hear ya.

7:29 am

Dorens

No, Annie don't let that happen again. Have you thought of taking a cane when you go out just to have a bit more stability?

7:30 am

Anniebrook

Dorens, Thank goodness, I really dont need a cane and I hope it is not in my future. I just was cocky and was walking on a sheet of ice without looking. Just ambling along. Ach.

7:31 am

Dorens

I get it. The ice scares me, and sometimes I wonder if something to grab onto would be helpful. So far, I just make sure I have shoes with good soles to grab, but sometimes that isn't enough.

7:33 am

Anniebrook

I was in the parking lot and I should have walked from car to car holding on. Now, at my age, I am finally afraid of ice.

7:33 am
