flosey
that's great, Rose

seems to me the patches hit the right spot much faster than taking pills

i am darling. how are you coping? how is burt?
4:00 am
rubyfoo
Burt came through the surgery well, but was in recovery for hours. He said that he was all fixed and could come home today. I spoke with his surgeon this AM and he said tomorrow or even Sat., so then Burt and I had the usual fight. He hates being there, but the longer he stays, the better for e as there is no way I will be able to get him up without help and I think that post-hernia surgery, walking is important and I can't risk re-opening my pleural tear. (selfish moi!0
4:01 am
rubyfoo
Neighbors are being wonderful - bringing me soup, driving me around.
4:02 am
grannyrose
not at all selfish, tu. glad that burt is through it all. but do not allow hospital to discharge him until he is fully independent, ruby. you simply cannot take the risk, with either of you.
4:03 am
grannyrose
it is a constant battle i have here. don has a torn tendon in his shoulder, and everyone expects him to be capable of all sorts of things.
4:03 am
grannyrose
g'day sandy
4:04 am

Hello Sandy. I owe you a long letter, but probably not today. Thi has been a tough winter
4:04 am
sandyloo
sorry to hear burt is in the wars, just make sure that you take care of yourself and hi rose , i have been playing lately but not chatting as i find myself getting too addicted
4:04 am
grannyrose
ruby, list all the things burt was capable of doing for himself before his surgery. take it into the hospital and tell them this is what you expect of him when he comes home.
4:06 am
sandyloo
you both sound like you are in the wars - remember my daughter Nicky? She is the one with the fused shoulder- the plate broke through her skin and she had to have it removed and now has to have the whole refusion again , so I guess we are all struggling against something
4:07 am
grannyrose
oh, sandy!! what a wretched thing to happen!! your poor daughter. i feel for her, and you
4:07 am
sandyloo
Ruby, can you get some help in the home? We have an organisation here called Silverchain do you have anything like that?
4:07 am
rubyfoo
who ever said life would get easier.....poor Nicky
4:08 am
sandyloo
Silver chain nurses come and will bath the patient and administer care ect. We also have provision for cleaners to come and help in the house and for meals to be delivered
4:09 am
sandyloo
Yes poor nicky.... just got to get on with it I guess.
4:11 am
sandyloo
How is the weather for you Rose, are you in the path of any cyclones?
4:11 am
grannyrose
it's hard to watch our kids so traumatised either emotionally or physically. i pray you keep strong too, sandy. how long before the next lot of surgery?
4:12 am
sandyloo
About six weeks , it is hard as she is up in Perth with my mother and I am down here in Margaret River but still I just go with the flow as I guess we all do. I try not to focus on the bad
4:13 am
grannyrose
a bit of a hike, but doable if you are needed. how old is Nicky?
4:15 am
sandyloo
she is 40 now , all this has really ruined her life but I keep telling her that life has so much to offer you just need to reach out
4:16 am
sandyloo
On the up side I have a little grand daughter who is 8 months old and we all love her to bits
4:18 am
grannyrose
sweetie, i am so sorry she has to go through this. and yes, that is one way to look at it. but it is hard to be positive when you feel like hell. oh?? did i know this?? i don't think so...i try to keep tabs on all new grannies. it is so lovely to be a granny. i adore it.
4:19 am
sandyloo
I feel bad that I haven't chatted for ages but I do keep my eye on you all. I have to go and feed the horses and do their waters, collect the eggs and water the vege garden and get the alpacas out of the horse paddock ...la la la ...Keep safe and take care - give burt a big hug from me Ruby! Lovely to talk I will try and chat a bit more often so bye for now

Or increase them.
11:59 am
Judi
Just got back from Arizona yesterday. Gorgeous warm weather. Took in some spectacular hiking. And the tequila wasn't bad either.
12:01 pm
harpjane
That's my alma mater, Judi. Hellgate High School. They are seeded 1st in the state boys BB tournament.
12:02 pm
harpjane
I'll need meds if they lose....
12:02 pm
rururocks
spring training judi?
12:02 pm
Judi
Ah. Hellgate is an unusual name for a highschool. Let me guess. Their logo is a devil.
12:02 pm
harpjane
Nope. Hellgate Knights. Named after a landmark in the area. Look it up!
12:03 pm
Judi
Nah. We were just there on coincidence, ru. Could care less about baseball.
12:03 pm
Judi
The Knights of Hellgate. I think that was a Monty Python skit. ;-p
12:04 pm
rururocks
crap.. I pictured you like Susan Sarandon with a big hat..flirting with all the ball players
12:05 pm
rururocks
with blond hair of course
12:05 pm
Judi
Well, I was wearing a hat in the hot sun, if that makes you feel better.
12:06 pm
rururocks
did you do the bathtub scene with the candles?
12:11 pm
Judi
Was chatting with a sales girl in a shop and she asked if we were there for spring training. When I told her no, she said, "I don't get that whole cactus league, grapefruit league thing. What does that mean, anyway?" Amazingly, she wasn't even blonde.
12:18 pm
rururocks
I don't get the grapefruit thing either .. too pithy for me
12:22 pm
Judi
Off to do some chores. Later! *POOF*

Good evening my friends:)
7:25 pm

And now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!! (I promise, only two tidbits in a day; one in the morning and one at night...well, perhaps with the odd inspiration quote tossed in... and maybe a dirty limerick or two if I am in my cups one evening, but that is it)...
7:25 pm
crosshair
More Monopoly money is printed in a year, than real money throughout the world.
7:27 pm
jaxx7
and most of it is British £s.
7:28 pm
jaxx7
Glad to see the tidbits are back. Way to go, crossy
7:29 pm

Night all. Just passing through. tc

am listening to golden raindrops.. we need them so badly!
8:23 pm
crosshair
We have yet to have our first rain of the season.
8:24 pm
crosshair
been in the plusses yesterday and today for the first time, but back down to minus 8c for tonight
8:25 pm
crosshair
I cannot remember the last time it rained.. probably some ice cold rain last October I would imagine
8:25 pm
crosshair
Howdy, penquis
8:25 pm
penquis
aloy, do you play at WordSplay?....someone with your name does...
8:25 pm
crosshair
I cannot wait till we get out first good thunderstorm!
8:26 pm
Aloyisius
ooch.. our ground is so dry.. hi penquis.. are you kidding.. someone has the name "aloy" or aloyisius?
8:27 pm
Aloyisius
aah.. yeah! harder rain.. hope it keeps up
8:28 pm
Aloyisius
rats, seemed to be a passing cloudburst :-(
8:28 pm
penquis
aloyisius or something close to that....
8:30 pm
Aloyisius
h'mm, no.. I did "Words for Friends".. forgot my handle.. I just stick to Babble and Scrabble and FB and email and that is about all I can handle in a day without becoming glued to my chair
8:32 pm
Aloyisius
get so many requests re games, but I think the requesters get points for that, so I don't mind.. I just don't respond
8:33 pm
Aloyisius
wahoo.. another cloudburst.. sorry if I'm boring you, but I am so delighted
8:34 pm
penquis
no problem....i was just curious when i saw your name there....
8:35 pm
Aloyisius
of course.. maybe I will check that site out.. do you play?
8:39 pm
crosshair
Do not worry about rejoicing the rain. You should see all of us Canucks on the first true day of spring. We are all outside in shorts(even though it is only 10C) standing still with our faces upturned to the sun, and tracking its arc across the sky like desperate sunflowers seeking nourishment.
8:40 pm
Aloyisius
(-: I can understand that, crossy!
8:41 pm
penquis
yes, i play at WordSplay....i have only seen two names that i recognize there...
8:45 pm
penquis
it's very different from here....everyone plays boggle at once in a timed round....
8:47 pm
Aloyisius
sounds interesting.. I noted the site
8:47 pm
Aloyisius
but like I said, I'm hesitant to get into anything more that takes up computer time!
8:49 pm
penquis
i hear ya....
8:51 pm

8:53 pm

9:02 pm
Aloyisius
yay, congrats wvteach!
9:04 pm
penquis
congrats!
9:06 pm
crosshair
No wonder it took me so long to find the last W word I needed. It is such terrible English that the mind revolts just spelling it! wo6/30= more of a bad thing(like a young child might say it)
9:07 pm
crosshair
Though it may have a different meaning altogether
9:08 pm
Aloyisius
LOL crossy.. that is my last word too! fw and I am outta here.. see you all tomorrow..

Good point.

Nef
Good Evening and thanks for that clue!
11:21 pm
rururocks
it's likely a grave situation as well
11:21 pm
Nef
good one ru.
11:24 pm
RoundBarn
ruru, crossy tried to pull a ru this morning--said so--but he left off the "dammit!" Hi, Nef! and all.
11:25 pm
rururocks
ah.. imitator!!!
11:25 pm
Nef
Hi RoundBarn. How are you tonight?
11:26 pm
rururocks
I would guess some people urn a ride in a hearse
11:26 pm
Nef
Somehow, the idea of crossy trying to pull a ruru--- I can't imagine that! :-)
11:26 pm
RoundBarn
fell asleep after writing group, woke up at 10 30, thought it was morning!
11:27 pm
Nef
LOL! That sounds like something I've been doing lately!
11:28 pm
RoundBarn
I guess you could look it up way back in the chat--there's a way--but I saw it after he'd left, or I would have told him it wasn't complete. so stayed silent.
11:29 pm
Nef
I was trying to carry on an online civil "discussion" with my cousin and fell asleep on the keyboard! I had a lot of gibberish; he didn't appreciate it!
11:31 pm
RoundBarn
yeah, I better get to bed so I don't mess up tomorrow. Instead of discussing a book in our tiny reading group, the lawyer in our midst is taking us through "wills" For our usual good food we're "letting the church ladies do it."
11:32 pm
Nef
Now that sounds lik it should be interesting.
11:33 pm
RoundBarn
Our next session will be end of life issues. They are all alot younger than me. Then we'll go back to books.Penelope Lively coming up.
11:35 pm
RoundBarn
seeing as how my kids have no inclination to deal with any of this (except get the book done for gods sake mom) I figure I better take it into my own hands. My will is so outdated, etc, and lots more choiced for how you want to be he*****.
11:35 pm
Nef
I was wondering if you were all writing your obituaries but thought that that sounded a little too crude
11:36 pm
RoundBarn
Mine's already written--at least the tomstone--written by my friends--"It's Around Here Somewhere."
11:37 pm
Nef
Personally, I know what I want; but I'm not sure what needs to be in a will.
11:38 pm
RoundBarn
It's all spelled out on the internet--we're all to bring our laptops and the template per instruction from the internet. I can forward Pat's directions if you want them.
11:38 pm
Nef
I hope it's complimentary! (I'm afraid some of my friends would put that I talked a lot - but was the quiet one in my family! :-)
11:39 pm
rururocks
mine is all dressed up and nowhere to go
11:40 pm
Nef
Well, that's good news, ruru. Then that means you're still alive & kicking, right?
11:43 pm
rururocks
so far
11:45 pm
RoundBarn
I sounded off to nef t'other night about people I wartch on the chat--usually I lurk and watch--sshe didn't respond to my email so I thought she might disagree with my remarks--but you--ruru--were close to the top. Maybe at the top. Present company excepted.
11:45 pm
Nef
Seriously, I always wonder if you don't have any valuables (other than a house, car, or other mundane stuff); do you really need a will?
11:46 pm
RoundBarn
yes, to divide among your children. You can't leve to your cat, by the way--it can't sign. You have to leave it to a friend of your cat--one you trust.
11:47 pm
Nef
RoundBarn, I've got a half-written response to you; but between trying to sell this condo and helping my daughter pack & get her out of there (and she's made an offer on a house too that she wanted us to advise her on) I haven't finished it yet.
11:48 pm
rururocks
close to the top of what?
11:48 pm
Nef
I'll send you what I've written so far….
11:48 pm
RoundBarn
my problem, I have things I value and don't want them in a dumpster--what do I do with a collection of 500 v old childrens books? I mean Elsie Dinsmores and St Nicholases. They can sell my cello, but who wants the collection or can even house it? Or know which ones are valuable?
11:49 pm
Nef
CLose to the top of fun, ruru. (She was very complimentary about you
11:49 pm
RoundBarn
the top of the list of people I like on the chat, ruru--I confided in Nef on an email.
11:49 pm
rururocks
oh.. thanks
11:49 pm
rururocks
I like to make people laugh
11:50 pm
rururocks
not everyone gets my humor however
11:50 pm
rururocks
I'm always kidding around.. it's my nature
11:51 pm
RoundBarn
your humor is my sort. My favorite author just died--do you know his humor? It's your sort. Terry Pratchett. I am grieving.
11:51 pm
rururocks
no. I don't .. I can check it out though
11:52 pm
rururocks
maybe I can quote my own tidbits of the day and imitate crossy :D
11:52 pm
RoundBarn
he was only 66--the major seller in UK till Harry Potter--but his are adult books and you have to know something. And be able to get his humor.
11:52 pm
Nef
Okay, RoundBarn; I just sent the first half of my response to your email. (I'm sorry, I never know when to stop in emails.
11:53 pm
Nef
I have never heard of him either Round Barn, so I'll have to check him out too.
11:54 pm
RoundBarn
he had early onset alxheimers, yet has a final book coming out soon--he wrote his own epitaph, according to the Wall St Journal. Dont read his masterpiece till you've gotten to know Sam Vimes, the head of the Watch. Try Jingo--
11:55 pm
rururocks
that's too bad then
11:55 pm
rururocks
horrible disease
11:55 pm
RoundBarn
thanks Nef I'll go read it and then go to bed. Goodnight, Nef and Ruru. Ru, your ridbits might be fun in a tidbit challenge with Crossy. His was v funny today.
11:56 pm
Nef
That's so sad about him developing early onset Alzheimers. Especially in a writer.
11:56 pm
rururocks
I might call them Rubits
11:56 pm
rururocks
night RB
11:56 pm
Nef
Good Night, Round Barn. I'll work on finishing my emails!
11:58 pm
RoundBarn
hard to go to bed when you guys are on. But I'm leaving, not being able to think up a pun to go with rubits--it's a good one in itself. goodnight, I'm gone, if I wait for the flip I'm lost.
11:58 pm
Nef
GO, RoundBarn! :-D
11:59 pm
Nef
ANd I like that, ru; rubits fits!
11:59 pm
rururocks
I'll use that then
