g'day crossy. was thinking of you two days ago.

4:53 am

crosshair

Back down into the deep freeze here. Tis minus 31 with the wind chill:)

4:53 am

crosshair

((rose))

4:53 am

grannyrose

ugh, crossy, not my kind of weather at all

4:54 am

grannyrose

it was pancake day, shrove tuesday. we met at the church for pancakes. plenty of pure maple syrup, and no bacon in sight. felt very let down....lol

4:55 am

crosshair

How are you and your loved ones, rose? I seemed to have missed chatting with you of late:)

4:55 am

crosshair

NO BACON???!!

4:55 am

grannyrose

we are all good, thanx mate. and yes, NO BACON...

4:56 am

crosshair

Those are the two most depressing words i have seen in weeks:(

4:58 am

grannyrose

ROFLOL, crossy...mine too. but the pancakes were scrumptious. i had lemon juice and coffe crystal sugar. if i cannot have bacon and maple syrup, i must have the lemony, crunchy flavour.

4:59 am

grannyrose

however, bacon, in one form or another will be consumed tomorrow when i go out for lunch with my friend.

5:04 am

sprite

good morning all

5:05 am

grannyrose

ROFLOL.... i think my darling has lost the plot....he just asked me about hte killing spray we got from the chemist. my response..???? he meant the chilling spray, for killing ticks...and we haven't bought it yet....egad!!!

5:05 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} darling sprite

5:06 am

*takes Don's head between her hands and shakes gently, to put everything back in its place*

5:06 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Good morning dear friend. Evening for you.

5:07 am

grannyrose

hello sprite.

5:07 am

sprite

um.... hello rose?

5:07 am

grannyrose

i was about to leave. i have to make up the bed with clean linen.

5:08 am

sprite

you will let Don help, won't you?

5:08 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} not the same as hello....lol

5:08 am

sprite

lol! *hugs* and hello rose!

5:08 am

sprite

where did crossy go?

5:09 am

grannyrose

are you better today, my darling?

5:09 am

Scrabbler

My bunny Gandalf just died 90 minutes ago. :-(

5:10 am

grannyrose

crossy prolly ducking out to make a cuppa tea...

5:10 am

sprite

yeah, no head-tail collisions of panic attacks, thank god. Finally settled down in bed last night, with food, and binged until I couldn't feel anymore. Not a good day. Today looks a lot better.

5:10 am

crosshair

On my end of things all is well, rose. Mrs is fighting her migraines again but is fighting the good fight, my boy is still eating me out of house and home, and I write my final exams on Monday and I am all done with classes!!

5:10 am

crosshair

((sprite))

5:10 am

grannyrose

awww scrabs...hugs dear. so heart-breaking.

5:10 am

sprite

oh dear, Scrabs, I am so sorry. That hurts :( *hug*

5:11 am

sprite

wow crossy, nice going *hugs* to you and Elegant.

5:11 am

crosshair

(((scrabby))) I am so sorry:(

5:11 am

Scrabbler

I woke up at 4:30 and heard a ruckus in his room, next to mine. It was noisier than when he chews his cardboard boxes. I found him collapsed and breathless, but heart still beating. Within 2 minutes he was gone.

5:12 am

Scrabbler

At least it was quick and I did not have to make the euthanasia decision. He was an old man. He would have been 12 in April.

5:12 am

crosshair

Was he an old rabbit?

5:12 am

grannyrose

at least you were with him, scrabs. it is awful to find our animal friends gone without our presence.

5:12 am

crosshair

nm.. I should read

5:12 am

Scrabbler

My oldest bunny ever.

5:12 am

sprite

aw you will miss him so much.

5:13 am

Scrabbler

That is 3 bunnies gone since last June 7th. But I still have Gulliver (5) and Remy (almost 2.)

5:14 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} scrabbler. you were a good mistress of him. he died knowing he was loved.

5:14 am

sprite

they all had the bestest of homes, Scrabs. But not an easy thing for you, so much loss in so short at time

5:15 am

Scrabbler

He was skittish and therefore not a bunny I could hold and cuddle, but he had his own room and a nice life.

5:16 am

sprite

he was lucky to live with someone who respected his personality

5:16 am

Scrabbler

I will not be able to bury him in the pet cemetery in the woods next to my house until at least April.

5:16 am

Scrabbler

It is so hard to lose our beloved pets.

5:17 am

sprite

yes it is. It hurts so much.

5:18 am

Scrabbler

He will be the 8th bunny in my pet cemetery.

5:19 am

Scrabbler

So, everyone, give your pets extra hugs, treats, and love today in memory of my Gandalf.

5:20 am

sprite

will do, Scrabs. Terra does a very slow and low wag and sends you a doggy hug.

5:21 am

5:28 am

crosshair

Our three cats, Sirius Black, Abakadabera, and Amos, give a salute to Gandalf as he crosses the rainbow bridge

5:29 am

sprite

rose, are you still with us? Or are you seeing a squirrel?

5:33 am

grannyrose

sorry, darling. have been crying my heart out. i have \made the bed with clean linen, with don's help....and sarcastic remarks as to my ability.

5:33 am

crosshair

Our ramblin rose has toddled off...:)

5:33 am

crosshair

((rose))

5:34 am

crosshair

Tell him that he can make the bed next time if he feels that he can do better

5:34 am

sprite

what? Is he out of his mind? {{{{{{rose}}}}}} give him hell from me! He has no right to do that to you.

5:35 am

sprite

yep, that is it. No doing anything at all for him until he apologises and means it. No tea, no coffee, no clothes clean or ironed, nothing.

5:35 am

grannyrose

bless you both. i have been professionally trained one way, he has been taught another way. my lower back was in such spasm....

5:36 am

crosshair

I had a natural failing as well where I sometimes am sarcastic with i mrs. i have no idea where it comes from , and I intend no true hurt. it is been a failing in me for years that I am fighting to correct. i cannot explain it, but it is forever getting me in troubble

5:36 am

sprite

doing things differently is not the point here, rose. The sarcasm is uncalled for and wayyyyy out of line. Please don't accept that, you deserve better.

5:36 am

Scrabbler

((Rose))

5:37 am

sprite

aw crossy... sarcasm can be so hurtful, much more than the one saying it realises. I know, I have this tendency too. It is called after me, ya know? Sarcassm ;)

5:38 am

grannyrose

thax all of you. my darling is a wonderful man...he is STILL learning to LIVE with another adult human.

5:38 am

crosshair

It is really odd. I have no idea where it comes from. My mouth just gets me in trouble.

5:39 am

sprite

rose, my darling... yes he is, but he has to learn that he has no right to hurt you this way. I hope you are drawing the line here, and not letting him do this to you because usually he is a darling.

5:39 am

grannyrose

but it does not diminish the hurt...

5:40 am

sprite

amen, rose, so please please please be mad at him and let him know that you are.

5:40 am

grannyrose

sprite, the pain is so bad....i cannot fight back....you alone would know how that is.

5:41 am

sprite

I learned from my father... narcissist, cutting sarcasm. But most of the time I am doing much better now. Much better to just say what you feel and not hide behind sarcasm. Or so I find.

5:42 am

crosshair

As a guy, all I can say is just do not hold onto the anger too long. We chastise quickly , but do not do well with a long freeze as we just get angry ourselves. We are more like a puppy you whack on the nose with a newspaper. We learn best if it is short and to the point.. woof!

5:42 am

sprite

I know, rose, I know. And now that you are sitting down again and your body settles a little bit, you have to stand up for yourself. You have the right to react later, like now, and tell Don that he is way out of line and that you don't accept this from him.

5:44 am

sprite

true, crossy, true. The best way is to let you have it right away. But we women aren't always able to react immediately.

5:44 am

grannyrose

crossy, sprite....thank-you. he keeps asking if there is anything he can get me....i can hear he is concerned.

5:45 am

crosshair

Yes, we try to make ammends quickly, as he is now and feel hurt if we are rebuffed for too long.. we are insane, what can i say?

5:45 am

grannyrose

okay...tears over...pain has subsided...

5:45 am

sprite

rose, sweetie... speak up! Yes, you can get me something... an apology for your uncalled-for and hurtful sarcasm. You hurt me and you have no right to do that.

5:46 am

grannyrose

i hear you sprite.

5:46 am

crosshair

Let him bring you something, tell him his words hurt and allow him to make ammends

5:46 am

grannyrose

and thanx cro9ssy.

5:46 am

sprite

lol crossy... no, not insane. It is just like dogs and cats... men and women have different language, body and otherwise, and we have to learn to understand what the other half says!

5:47 am

crosshair

Of course sprite makes more sense. crossy has all the tact of a steamroller sometimes

5:47 am

sprite

also, crossy... rose and I have been cowed in our youths until we didn't dare to speak up for ourselves at all anymore. It takes a lot of courage to learn to do so again at a late(r) age.

5:47 am

grannyrose

crossy, you are an incredible fiend. thanx for being here. xoxox

5:48 am

sprite

roflollll for that typo, rose, roflollll

5:48 am

sprite

sorry... that was funny.

5:48 am

crosshair

lol! been together 24 years the wife and I. 22 of them married, and all I really understand about women is that it has something to do with chocolate!

5:48 am

grannyrose

oh, my...*friend* of course

5:48 am

sprite

crossy, you make lots of sense. And it is great to hear from a man, so we women don't go overboard with the emotional rollercoaster rides.

5:48 am

Scrabbler

Hahaha, Crossy the Fiend.

5:49 am

sprite

chocolate is good. Yeah. Wow crossy, that is pure wisdom. ;)

5:49 am

grannyrose

crossy, chocolate is good...flowers better

5:49 am

sprite

snap, rose, my dear sister. And best is flowers with chocolate.

5:49 am

crosshair

I am glad I am a help. Just make the punishment short and sweet or us guys get bitter and hurt. I react exactly the same way your man is now, rose

5:50 am

sprite

good call, crossy. One that I will take to heart again as well.

5:50 am

grannyrose

thanx crossy.

5:50 am

Scrabbler

Let this be a learning experience for your man, Rose.

5:50 am

sprite

so... have you spoken up yet, rose?

5:51 am

grannyrose

scrabs....does the term ' crusty old bachelor ' mean anything to you? it describes my man so perfectly.

5:52 am

crosshair

I know it well; I am yammering away, then i say something sarcastic and hurtful, or am otherwise out of line, I get cut and wonder where the heck did that come from? We are wired differently:(

5:52 am

Scrabbler

Let him know that this is a teachable moment, Rose.

5:53 am

sprite

ain't that the truth, crossy! I swear, my marriage was saved by reading the book of the Peases couple.

5:53 am

grannyrose

sprite, one thing i have learned...24 hours is a good time to bring up a new topic....let him calm down..

5:53 am

sprite

what scrabs says!

5:53 am

crosshair

Half a day of a cold freeze is more than enough for crossy

5:54 am

grannyrose

lol...crossy...yes men are wired differently...i try to take that into account.

5:55 am

sprite

um ok, sweetie. Only... not pushing or anything, just want to say it is not a new topic. I would at least tell him you are angry at him, and hurt. That is standing up for yourself... but I know that is very hard.

5:55 am

grannyrose

xoxox sprite

5:55 am

Scrabbler

Just say, I feel ____ because ____."

5:56 am

sprite

great formula, Scrabs.

5:56 am

grannyrose

thanx scrabs.

5:56 am

Scrabbler

I teach parents and kids to say that. "I" statements are far more effective than "You" statements. As in "You are such an ass."

5:57 am

crosshair

brrr... back down into the keep freeze we go. We are aiming for minus 36 by tomorrow night! Minus 20 with a wind chill of minus 30 atm. Might move in with rose;)

5:58 am

sprite

one of our rules of engagement here as well. Say "I" and not "you". Also, don't say 'ev4' or 'ne5' or always. Don't bring up old shit. And don't turn tables as in "but you do that too".

5:58 am

Scrabbler

Same here, Crossy, then a warmer weekend.

5:58 am

sprite

ouch crossy, that is so cold!

5:58 am

grannyrose

scrabs...i try so hard to miss the "you" statements. they are so accusatory.

5:59 am

grannyrose

crossy, second bedroom always available.

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Yes, they make the other person angry and defensive.

5:59 am

sprite

especially the 'you are' statements. It is ok to say things like "when you say .... I feel ...."

6:04 am

sprite

that wasn't supposed to be a stopper though

6:08 am

grannyrose

*giggle* sprite, my dearest friend...i always try to use "i " instead of " you " the 'you' can be so accusatory.

6:08 am

crosshair

All is better on this front. I had my nose slapped with a newspaper this morning as well. I am forgiven and my training continues....

6:09 am

grannyrose

another red wine in the hand, and meds taken....probably close to night-night time.

6:10 am

grannyrose

6:11 am

sprite

6:11 am

grannyrose

ugh....'bow'

6:11 am

sprite

hehehe good man, crossy :)

6:12 am

crosshair

Rule #1 : When she is not happy. nobody's happy, so I hung my head in shame, brought her things, made her a coffee and awaited forgiveness.

6:12 am

sukee

Good morning

6:12 am

crosshair

Howdy, Sukee

6:13 am

hi sukee :)

6:14 am

sprite

crossy, for me a sincere 'sorry' makes it all good again.

6:14 am

sukee

Hi crossy, sprite

6:14 am

grannyrose

6:14 am

sukee

Hi Rose

6:15 am

sprite

will write to you right after these last few words, rose.

6:15 am

grannyrose

g'day sukeee. on my way out, dear.

6:15 am

sukee

Have a nice sleep.

6:15 am

The man vs woman thing always reminds me of this picture when it comes to understanding one another sometimes... http://tinyurl.com/ox4dvb3

lollllllll nah we are not THAT bad!

6:17 am

I like the Google doodle today.

6:17 am

xoxoxox to all of you.

6:18 am

crossy tentatively reaches in to adjust a dial... nope, that's not it..:(

6:18 am

6:20 am

Take care.

6:21 am

tc ((sprite))

6:21 am

crosshair

Back into the deep freeze for us the next 3 dats sukee:(

6:22 am

sukee

Yup.

6:23 am

sukee

It's snowing a bit here too.

6:23 am

crosshair

Oh yes, I do not even bother reporting the snow much anymore as it is an everyday thing now. looks like 6 more inches of it last night.

6:24 am

sukee

I guess when I heard as a kid that it was too cold to snow that was false. :)

6:24 am

crosshair

We still have open water out of the bay and it is a snow generating machine

6:25 am

sukee

We miss the worst since we are not close to the lake.

6:26 am

crosshair

Not long now though. Another 8 weeks or so we shall be wading through mud in the spring thaw.

6:27 am

sukee

I'm ready :)

6:28 am

crosshair

One day is is minus 25 and the next it is ten degrees and the river is overflowing into your back yard:)

6:29 am

sukee

So, the latest change in my apartment is that they are changing all the door locks. They said they would be in yesterday, but now changed it to today.

6:29 am

crosshair

Oh what happened?

6:30 am

crosshair

Have a break in?

6:30 am

sukee

I don't know, but they are changing everyone's locks.

6:31 am

sukee

Maybe they are changing it to card entry, who knows. They never tell us anything in detail :)

6:31 am

crosshair

they must have lost key control. When a landlord does a sudden key change that usually means he is unsure who has a set of keys that should,nt

6:32 am

sukee

Oh, that is not a good thing to know :)

6:32 am

crosshair

I have had the same apartment key for 21 years now:) poor lock is worn to a frazzle

6:33 am

sukee

But, in our building they have a revolving door around management assistants (ie superintendants)

6:34 am

crosshair

And heaven help you if they go to key cards. We had those at the ski lodge I used to work at. they are tempremental, fiddly things that eat batteries like crazy and deny your card at the worst possible time crazy

6:35 am

sukee

They probably will stay with keys.

6:35 am

crosshair

If you have a choice, request to stay with a key

6:35 am

sukee

Keys are probably cheaper for them

6:36 am

crosshair

So you have a new super/ or manager all the time. great; nobody knows the building well then:(

6:37 am

sukee

We have had one couple that has been here for a long time, that couple seem to be the ones that chase others away. Management loves them.

6:37 am

crosshair

Whenever i hear rumor that the manager is changing, i get all the little things taken care of in the apartment before he goes. We have had 4 in the time of my residency so far.

6:37 am

Anniebrook

Our keys were just changed. No more keys. It's a little giizmo that you hold to a light and the door opens. It's great. We changed to this news system because the locks were always breaking and people had trouble getting intothe building.

6:38 am

sukee

One building I lived in had cards at the front door, it was great.

6:39 am

crosshair

All I now is that my experience with key-cards was a year long nightmare from start to finish.

6:39 am

crosshair

know

6:39 am

sukee

But, my apartment door was still keyed.

6:40 am

Anniebrook

So far this is working perfectly. You still need a key to your apartment. This is entry to the building and the laundry room

6:41 am

sukee

The best change they made in our front door is that it now has a button to press to open it automatically.

6:41 am

Anniebrook

caffeine calls, be right back

6:42 am

crosshair

We have a inner security door where if you turn the key to the left instead of the right it opens by itself hydraulically. Handy if you are lugging grocery bags

6:43 am

sukee

I think they did it because one guy in a wheelchair kept breaking the glass. There are several wheelchairs here and walkers.

6:43 am

crosshair

We are also a mostly senior building

6:44 am

crosshair

Other than 2 couples that I can think of, we are the youngest family in here with a 21 year old son

6:45 am

crosshair

The boy is 21 today as a matter of fact. Makes crossy feel a bit old:(

6:45 am

sukee

We have all ages, lots of kids.

6:45 am

sukee

Well, congratulations to him.

6:46 am

crosshair

he is just hanging around till i kick off so he can steal my chair and my computer:)

6:46 am

sukee

lol

6:47 am

sukee

Well, I'm going to go make some breakfast. I will be back.

7:08 am

waiting patiently to see if library is closed cuz of cold wind chill.. all schools are closed again.

7:31 am

MollyL

It's bitter cold here, but all schools are open. We haven't had as much snow as you folks up north.

7:34 am

Uneaixoise

breaking all-time temp record here today -- schools closed for the week -- still an inch or more of rockhard ice everywhere -- sunshine at least makes it a little less depressing!

7:34 am

MollyL

I'm looking forward to Sunday, the forecast is 51 degrees. I think people will be outside singing songs of praise to the sun.

7:35 am

Anniebrook

Nashville has been hit pretty hard.

7:35 am

Uneaixoise

such thick ice on most vehicles, yesterday many local drivers had windshields smashed by sheets of ice flying off trucks in front of them on interstate

7:36 am

Anniebrook

wow!

7:36 am

Soodle

Hello everybody. I'm just recovering from one of the nastiest flus I ever had. Hope you guys are all well:-)

7:36 am

Uneaixoise

yes, molly, sunday will be rainy but that's RAIN at least and not ice :-)

7:36 am

Anniebrook

Poor Soodle, glad to see you back in the fold

7:37 am

Uneaixoise

glad you're better, soodle -- sorry you got hit with the bad stuff

7:38 am

Soodle

I wouldn't wish it on anybody. I had to psych myself up to leave the bed to visit the bathroom. On the mend now, thank goodness.

7:39 am

Soodle

On the plus side, I got to watch 3 whole seasons of Sons of Anarchy! Tis an ill wind....

7:45 am

Soodle

And so saying, Islither off to the PB!

7:46 am

phaeton

You can rest there Soodle. ;:-)

7:46 am

Soodle

7:56 am

I always thought the chat was the sick ward?

8:31 am

car.eeyore

Clearly, it is bath day for the parrot...water spraying all over the kitchen....

8:32 am

Judi

Fun, car! Do you blow dry the parrot when it's done bathing?

8:33 am

car.eeyore

Nope. She does it all by herself.

8:33 am

Judi

Pretty bird.

8:33 am

car.eeyore

I offer her a nice round low bowl of water for bathing, but she insists on using the water from her dish and splashing it all over.

8:33 am

Judi

What is your bird's name?

8:34 am

car.eeyore

Bertie...she came with it, but it meant a lot to the gentleman who gave us the bird, so I will not change it.

8:34 am

Judi

Does she talk?

8:34 am

car.eeyore

Constantly. And makes a variety of noises, my least favorite being the piercing Dremel drill noise.

8:35 am

Judi

You must post a pic. We don't get many parrots here.

8:35 am

car.eeyore

I will change my icon pic...please hold...

His head was face down on the carpet and his legs were still in the bed.

6:11 pm

Looks as if he was trying to get out of bed. he had a hotwater bottle between his legs as Manchester is so cold at the moment.

6:12 pm

He had dropped a paving slab on his big toe the week before so I suspect that had something to do with it

6:52 pm

6:53 pm

7:31 pm

Douglas

Esther is in the grid, getting ready for Purim in March

7:33 pm

7:37 pm

hi all. i have re 8. what is other 8 please and clue?

7:38 pm

rbud

not sure to which you refer, Douglas, but I found es7 and es8 thanks to one of your sentences, so ty!

7:38 pm

mkg

glancing back i see an issue with clues. i thought the purpose of the chat was clues right? it is a lovely thing to play and to communicate with others and get very clever brilliant clues. i love it.

7:39 pm

Douglas

I was thinking about es5, but I'm happy for you.

7:39 pm

mkg

rbud, is the es 8 plural of the es 7? would love a clue for it. dont know what you are referring to.

7:39 pm

rbud

aw, just good old TO, I remember her not liking clues too early in her playtime, no big deal, to each their own, I say.

7:40 pm

mkg

es plural of the purim queen, is es 6. still missing the es 7 and 8

7:41 pm

mkg

so any clues for the es 8? ty in advance.

7:42 pm

rbud

yes, mkg, I got the inspiration from the lady's name in Douglas' 7:31 hint - most of that name, drop the last letter, add most of what Brits drink in the afternoons, then pl. I think it has an alt. spelling with a A at the start.

7:43 pm

sugs

did you all get the ts 6, the flies? cute eh?

7:56 pm

rbud

yes! I like using my brain, and it's hard to find anyone around here to have an adult conversation with, so I resort to online pursuits and friends. :)

Superman's arch enemy is in the grid, I was hoping he would get out of the arch enemy business and into the musical instrument business

8:00 pm

I don't see why they'd spread, but if the first batch does so in the oven, I'd say let the dough sit a while in the fridge, my choc. chip ones always stiffen up when I do that.
