2:18 am

Lizlin

Hi everyone else too ;)

2:18 am

Lizlin

Impressed? Why? Did she not expect you to win?

2:18 am

grannyrose

hi saanichcat

2:19 am

grannyrose

* giggle * she has never had a patient who won before..

2:19 am

Lizlin

Still each case is individual.

2:20 am

grannyrose

oh dear all sorts of noise coming from the garage. and it sounds angry. i am NOT going out to check.

2:20 am

Lizlin

Take cover!

2:22 am

grannyrose

i have no id4 what he is doing, and i don't want to know. he has been snippish all day. i think he is building up to a migraine.

2:22 am

Lizlin

Oh dear! Tough for you. But migraines sound very nasty. Never had one thankfully.

2:24 am

flosey

hi Liz and Rose

2:24 am

2:24 am

grannyrose

hi flosey

2:25 am

Lizlin

Is the tu 10 a common word?

2:26 am

grannyrose

nope, but it is a compound word

2:26 am

saanichcat

no really, at least to me, begins with the slow guy

2:27 am

Lizlin

I'd like to say that's helpful but as yet ...

2:27 am

Hi Diz

2:27 am

2:32 am

Lizlin

Sorry about typos! Auto correct!

2:32 am

dizgrannie

Angel, scroll back

2:33 am

grannyrose

apparently it is a plant belonging to the genus chelone

2:50 am

grannyrose

angel, did you find the tu10?

2:51 am

grannyrose

okay, angel has gone. hope she found it.

2:52 am

Lizlin

Finally half way. Seems difficult for a large grid.

2:54 am

grannyrose

ummmm...not boasting, really i'm not. i was 70 short after my first run through.

2:54 am

grannyrose

lots of more and most endings

2:54 am

Lizlin

That's awesome. The only help I've used so far is for the 10.

2:57 am

grannyrose

liz, i think i am becoming one of the old hands at this game. nothing like haz, sprite, dee , ruru....oh heaps of others. but for me to reach 332 with no help...i am chuffed to say the least.

2:57 am

Lizlin

You should be. I meant it when I sais awesome.

2:58 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} dear liz girl. you know i am not one to blow my own trumpet. but i am astonished sometimes at what i can achieve.

2:59 am

Lizlin

I'm not surprised! Don't underrate yourself.

3:13 am

grannyrose

okay, himself seems to have calmed down somewhat. he just calmly asked me what time i want to eat. i think the crisis has passed. whew!! and inwardly chuckling.

3:14 am

Lizlin

Phew!

3:14 am

grannyrose

angel?? did you find the tu10?

3:14 am

grannyrose

i try very ha4 not to react to his dramatising of events.

3:15 am

Lizlin

Good for you but it must be ha4 sometimes.

3:15 am

Lizlin

Depends on how you're feeling.

3:17 am

grannyrose

i he4 you liz girl. but i am NOT going to take on his dramas...not unless i see them as life threatening.

3:18 am

Lizlin

Like I said, that's really good. Very few dramas here, except from me!

3:24 am

grannyrose

ah ha....a prima donna in our midst...self-confessed no less

3:25 am

grannyrose

roflmao....

3:25 am

Lizlin

Lol! Not often. Only tends to happen when I get frustrated if something I'm doing isn't working! Like my computer!

3:26 am

grannyrose

okay....you are excused.....

3:26 am

Lizlin

Close call!

3:26 am

grannyrose

*hands liz hanky to wipe sweat off brow*

3:27 am

Lizlin

4:57 am

zoozzoom

I am well thank you :-)

4:58 am

zoozzoom

Hope you are doing good too?

4:58 am

sprite

good to hear. Did you spend some quality time with your parents yesterday?

4:58 am

sprite

I am fine, thanks :)

4:59 am

zoozzoom

I did indeed.Gave mother a card, flowers & chocolates for mothers day :-)

4:59 am

zoozzoom

Was it mothers day there too?

4:59 am

sprite

awww sweet. Our mother's day is in May.

5:02 am

zoozzoom

Ahh okay then :-)

5:02 am

zoozzoom

Ahh okay then :-)

5:03 am

5:05 am

crosshair

Good morning , everyone:)

5:06 am

sprite

hiya crossy :) How are you? And Mrs Elegant?

5:06 am

zoozzoom

Sorry keep forgetting the babble freeze has changed to 10:00am here.

5:06 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Crossy :-)

5:06 am

crosshair

((sprite)) we are both fine. it is going to be a chore-filled day, but we are up early and have a bit of time yet to Babble and enjoy a coffee or tea:)

5:07 am

crosshair

Howdy,Zooz

5:07 am

sprite

that is what you get for not doing DLT, zooz, lol.

5:07 am

sprite

ah, at least a good start of the day then, crossy

5:07 am

zoozzoom

Ours change on the 29th March :-(

5:07 am

crosshair

Yup, Just coming up to 6 am now, and we are due for an amazing sunny day of 6C!

5:08 am

sprite

wow, that is positively tropical.

5:08 am

sprite

ours too, zooz :D

5:09 am

crosshair

We have all the living room windows open already:) Nice to get some air for a change instead of being frozen inside a box

5:09 am

zoozzoom

I think it should be left alone now..farmers do not need this time change anymore...or do they?

5:09 am

zoozzoom

What at 6c I would still have my windows firmly shut, Crossy!

5:10 am

crosshair

Time change does not bother me one way or another:)

5:10 am

crosshair

lol, zooz!

5:10 am

grannyrose

hellooooo. have taken meds so if i don't make sense please forgive.

5:11 am

zoozzoom

My parents will still have their heating on in the summer when it is over 21c

5:11 am

crosshair

((rose))) wow! just noticed that it is a big, chunky grid today.

5:11 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Rose :-)

5:12 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} crossy and zooz. enjoy the grid. i had a delightful time.

5:12 am

zoozzoom

Only just started so have just 80 words..lol

5:13 am

zoozzoom

How are you keeping, Rose?

5:14 am

sprite

hello my darling rose :) Email sent!

5:15 am

sprite

I dislike being in a room where the heater is at 21C. Too hot for me.

5:15 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} darling sprite. himself has settled down. i swear...i was nearly ready to give him one.

5:15 am

zoozzoom

Yes it cam get over bearing at times.But they are always cold..bless them.

5:15 am

sprite

was he being panicky, rose?

5:16 am

sprite

it is hard for elderly folks to keep warm. Best they can do, if physically able, is go for a walk every day.

5:16 am

grannyrose

nope, just snippy. all day...i don't know how i held onto my temper.

5:17 am

sprite

is he out of his sweet little mind? You need him to be supportive, not snippy at all.

5:18 am

grannyrose

sprite, he is male. full stop. no offence crossy and zooz.

5:19 am

zoozzoom

Non taken -)

5:19 am

zoozzoom

none*

5:19 am

grannyrose

thanx dear man

5:19 am

sprite

lol. Male is never an insult. Just an observation that yes, men are different from women and react in different ways.

5:20 am

crosshair

Men are from Mars, women from Venus. it is all quite understandable:)

5:20 am

grannyrose

i just wish i knew which box he was in today. it didn't matter what i said or did, it was wrong.

5:21 am

sprite

exactly, crossy. As I have said before, read the books by the Peases. Delightful reading and so true. Saved many a marriage, those books.

5:21 am

crosshair

vive la difference!!

5:21 am

grannyrose

ah, well. all quiet on the western front at the moment, and we are watching midsummer murders. so he is happy, and doesn't notice i am chatting here.

5:22 am

crosshair

Also try Playboy's guide to the erotic massage:)

5:22 am

crosshair

lol

5:23 am

sprite

rose, one of the differences is how we deal with problems. A typical male will feel like you need a solution when you share a problem with him. A typical female will feel like you need hugs and comfort. And when a man isn't able to produce said solution, he can become snippy. Out of frustration.

5:23 am

rubyfoo

hello hello

5:23 am

sprite

lol crossy, yeah that too

5:23 am

crosshair

That is what i refer to as the pickle analogy, Sprite.

5:23 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Ruby :-)

5:23 am

sprite

hello ruby *hug* How is Burt doing? Is he back home already? And how are you holding up?

5:24 am

crosshair

Men will open that pickle jar, while a woman want to tell him how it ruined her day because she could not get any pickles.

5:24 am

sprite

exactly that, crossy, exactly that!

5:25 am

crosshair

How she broke a nail trying to get it open., how she had to cancel lunch with her friends, and dropped the jar on her foot...etc

5:25 am

crosshair

The worst thing a man can do is waltz in and pop it open in 3 seconds!

5:26 am

sprite

you got it! And all she need from you is: "Uhuh... oh darling, how awful... aw darn it, come here, you deserve a hug!"

5:26 am

crosshair

yup!

5:27 am

rubyfoo

Burt came home on Saturday and is doing very well physically but is pretty confused about days, years, places. I hope it's just the pain meds!

5:27 am

sprite

and the mirror side is this: when a man has a problem, he is typically stewing on it and during that, he wants to be left in PEACE! No asking what is the matter, are you mad, is something troubling you... leave him be and when he is good and ready, he will tell you.

5:27 am

crosshair

I learned of the "Pickle Analogy" in year 7 of our marriage:)

5:27 am

sukee

Morning all

5:27 am

rubyfoo

And he awakened me at 4AM, thinking it was dinner time (aaarghh) I am tired beyond tired

5:27 am

crosshair

Howdy, Sukee

5:28 am

crosshair

((ruby))

5:28 am

rubyfoo

hello sukee

5:28 am

sprite

am glad he came through it so well physically, ruby. Most likely the confusion is more than just the meds, he was confused going in already, alas.

5:28 am

sprite

hi sukee :) *hug*

5:28 am

sprite

you are a quick study, crossy, grin.

5:28 am

crosshair

Yup...only took me 7 years...

5:29 am

rubyfoo

I'm trying to be optimistic

5:29 am

crosshair

poor ruby:((

5:29 am

sprite

most people never learn. Vive la differance, is a hard lesson to take in.

5:30 am

sprite

good girl, ruby, lol. So... how are you holding up? How is your ch5?

5:31 am

rubyfoo

ch5 is much better than before, just a st***y 4-5 (with meds) but I think |I'll have to be very careful for a long time.

5:32 am

sprite

I think so too. Glad to hear you came down from top pain to moderate. Take care of yourself in the whole Burt mess, sweetie.

5:34 am

sukee

I wish this grid had been on Saturday when I had all day to do it :)

5:34 am

grannyrose

hokay.....it's just gone 9:30pm....i think i'll swan off to bed. xoxox to you all dear friends.

5:34 am

rubyfoo

I agree, sukee, but yesterday would have been better

5:35 am

sukee

Hi Rose, bye Rose

5:35 am

crosshair

and now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!!

5:35 am

sprite

poor sukee! I actually have more time today than saturday. But I agree it is a weekend-sized grid.

5:35 am

crosshair

In Quitman, Georgia, chickens may not cross the road.

5:35 am

grannyrose

thanx sprite and ruby for emails.

5:35 am

rubyfoo

I answered your mail Rosie, TY

5:35 am

sprite

bye rose, sleep well, my dear friend.

5:35 am

sprite

lol crossy! Why the heck is that?

5:35 am

crosshair

I have no idea! lol

5:36 am

crosshair

Repressed chickens:(

5:36 am

maybe they jay-walk...

5:36 am

sukee

Going to be a lovely day today

5:38 am

sprite

I am picturing this legislator that was totally fed up with the question of why did the chicken cross the road?

5:38 am

crosshair

to get from the left to the right of course;)

5:39 am

sprite

yeah well, you know legislators. That answer never entered his mind, of course.

5:40 am

sukee

Maybe only Yankee chickens can cross the road :)

5:40 am

sprite

lol sukee.

5:41 am

sukee

Or is that Georgia near Russia? :)

5:41 am

crosshair

Someone actually emailed the town hall of Quitman asking about this chicken law, but they are awaiting a reply

5:41 am

sprite

there are so many absolutely crazy laws in the world.

5:43 am

crosshair

I was going through some of our town archival pictures last time I was in the library, and we once had water fountains spread out along our main street for use by dogs and horses. Not just troughs, but actual fountains

5:43 am

sprite

aw that is sweet, crossy. Keeps the water much fresher

5:44 am

crosshair

There were 6 of these units and they were removed in the 1920's. sadly, nobody knows where they ended up.

5:45 am

rubyfoo

It would be lovely to have one of those old fountains in the garden (orr even a trough!).

5:47 am

sprite

oh yes!

5:47 am

crosshair

They were a three-tiered affair with humans being able to get a dring off the top fountain

5:47 am

crosshair

drink

5:48 am

rubyfoo

Ilooked for a bench to cover with a mosaic of old, broken blue and white pottery and glass that \I've been collecting for years but could only find a trough. I've turned it over and now the trough and the shards just sit, collecting dust.

5:49 am

sprite

in time, ruby, in time. Right now you don't have the energy to spare.

5:50 am

flosey

What a lovely project to look forward to doing, when things slow down a bit for you

5:50 am

flosey

and hi again everyone - haven't slept a wink yet!!!

5:50 am

it will be there for you when you are ready

5:51 am

hi flosey, insomnia is a lady dog :(

5:51 am

flosey

it's nasty!

5:51 am

crosshair

I once did a table top for the mrs with shards like that. it was from a "Blue Willow" dish set I dropped:( I had to make amends..fast!

5:51 am

jaxx7

I was going to tackle the grid before we left for Manchester and the funeral. It is a biggie so I won't start.

5:51 am

rubyfoo

mayb this summer (although I've been saying that for a couple of years)

5:52 am

crosshair

Howdy, Flosey

5:52 am

crosshair

This grid is perfect for a sleepless night

5:52 am

rubyfoo

hello jaxx and flosey.

5:52 am

sprite

aww jaxx... why not do a part? You can get the speedy part done. And a funeral? Someone close to you?

5:52 am

Uneaixoise

indeed it is, crossy . . . morning everyone :-)

5:52 am

rubyfoo

Must go and serve the mister in the bed. I made veg soup for his lunch.

5:53 am

crosshair

Howdy, Une:)

5:53 am

flosey

hi crossy, yes it is - will probably fall asleep in my easy chair while attempting to read

5:53 am

sprite

good luck, ruby

5:53 am

sprite

hi Une :)

5:53 am

rubyfoo

Sprite" yesterday I went to "your" resto to pick up something for his lunch and they made me sit down, have a drink, and then comped me for his meal. Truly touching!!!!

5:53 am

crosshair

nothing like a good book:))

5:54 am

sprite

aw ruby that is so sweet! They are truly lovely people.

5:54 am

Uneaixoise

how lovely, ruby!

5:54 am

sprite

I hear ya, crossy :)

5:54 am

rubyfoo

bonjour une, haven't been in ch** much lately, but it's nice to see you and BTW, my dogs are now on a mostly-meat diet and their coats look magnificent. I keep my eyes peeled for furriers

5:54 am

sprite

I like your St Pat's icon, Une

5:55 am

crosshair

it is nice that the locals are helping where they can, ruby

5:55 am

rubyfoo

And I've learned that when people offer to help, I ask. I think it helps me and makes them happy

5:56 am

sprite

wtg ruby. Yes and yes, on both. A tough lesson to learn.

5:56 am

crosshair

Furriers are mostly extinct here. The vast majority of the local population take a dim view of a lady waltzing around in a mink, ferret or harp seal coat

5:57 am

Uneaixoise

bet your pups are loving being majorly carnivores :-)

5:58 am

crosshair

Although this country was built on just that with the Hudson's Bay Company being the oldest registered business we have

5:58 am

rubyfoo

I hope it doesn't hurt them, but it's much easier for me

5:58 am

sprite

I have Terra on a pure meat di4. Full meat though, including a bit of pelt and bones and innards. Keeps him healthy as can be.

5:58 am

Uneaixoise

re asking for and giving help, yes, ruby, absolutely

5:58 am

crosshair

Dogs need their meat

5:59 am

sukee

I can't stand it when people try to make dogs and cats vegetarian.

5:59 am

crosshair

It is not good for them

5:59 am

sprite

I hear ya, sukee! Their digestive system is not made for that at all.

5:59 am

sukee

Then again, some of the same people don't let their kids get vaccinated either.

6:00 am

Uneaixoise

true, crossy -- lots of articles out there about how harmful it is

6:00 am

Uneaixoise

sukee LOL

6:01 am

sprite

oh my, found the 10. Niceeeee.

6:01 am

crosshair

I think the anti-vaxxers are being a tad selfish when their choices affect other peoples health. I can see they are going to have to make it mandatory because of a select few who do not have common sense

6:01 am

Uneaixoise

Ruby, you've been in my thoughts - so very sorry for all that you're dealing with at the moment

6:01 am

car.eeyore

Good morning! Wish we had this doozy yesterday!

6:01 am

Uneaixoise

hey, car :-)

6:01 am

sprite

hi car.ee :)

6:01 am

sukee

Well, when I was in school you had to get vaccines or you did not go to school. And we had to have a mandatory TB test too every year.

6:02 am

crosshair

Anti-vaxxers should be forced to talk with a few people who lived through the polio epidemics of the 50's...

6:02 am

Uneaixoise

same here, sukee

6:03 am

Uneaixoise

indeed, crossy -- when i was 7 or 8 we had a neighbor -- young girl - in an iron lung -- so awful

6:04 am

crosshair

yup. Those iron lungs have faded from our memories now, but it was a huge deal at the time

6:04 am

sukee

So many have a romantic idea of things like measles, don't realize how people did die and many lost sight, etc.

6:05 am

sukee

Was arguing with someone who was saying no one had died of measles lately, but I was trying to tell him that that was because most people were vaccinated... You can't win with some people.

6:06 am

jaxx7

It is my cousin. His 92 year old mother is my god mother. He literally died in and out of bed. He was clearly trying to get out. My Auntie is devastated as no-one should lose a child like that even if the child was 66

6:07 am

crosshair

Indeed, sukeed. Yes, you are free to make your own choices for your children, but only up until the point where it threatens the health of other children in the area...

6:07 am

car.eeyore

How awful. {{jaxx7}}

6:07 am

sprite

oh jaxx, am so so sorry. What a sad thing. *hugs*

6:08 am

crosshair

((jaxx))

6:09 am

Uneaixoise

so very sorry, jaxx :-(

6:09 am

jaxx7

there was a fascinating programme on BBC 4 last night about the development of a vaccine for polio in America and the 'March of dimes'. It seems scientists work on the assumption that if, say, 86% of a population is vaccinated then the others will be covered too by contact.

6:10 am

sukee

Yes Herd immunity :) When enough people don't vaccinate they destroy it.

6:10 am

crosshair

I heard that the number must be higher--in the ninetieth percentile for country-wide protection... but there are a lot of number floating around now

6:11 am

crosshair

But common sense dictates that you get the vaccination

6:12 am

crosshair

it is amazing the damage that one doctors error-filled report can do...

6:13 am

jaxx7

What we are finding in this country (and this is not racist but a fact) is that many of the immigrants have not been vaccinated in their own countries. When you go to A&E now they give you a booster shot for Diphtheria and other diseases. the Rate for measles has shot up here since the immigration rate increased.

6:14 am

sprite

here we find that many of the immigrants came from poor countries and they take all the shots they are offered. They have a very good memory of how horrible some diseases are and don't want to take the risk.

6:14 am

jaxx7

Not everybody has common sense, crossy, sadly

6:16 am

jaxx7

I must away folks, coffee awaits. Thanks for your condolences. i will be back like Arnie but not until Wednesday.

6:17 am

sprite

all the best, jaxx. Will think of you.

I'm so tired its not even funny.....ugh. Monday.

6:45 am

Trifioso

AND it's snowing again. Eyeroll

6:45 am

Anniebrook

hectic weekend

6:45 am

Trifioso

sorry - I meant "it snowed" again....

6:45 am

Anniebrook

Oh no!

6:47 am

Trifioso

hectic, but not in a good way...EVERYONE is sick. boo

6:47 am

Anniebrook

Oh dear, not fun

6:47 am

Lizlin

Wish you all better, very quickly, Trif

6:47 am

Trifioso

apparently there is a such a thing as "snow mold" that causes severe allergy like symptoms. I am SO DONE with this winter.

6:48 am

Trifioso

thanks lizlin.

6:48 am

Trifioso

poor secondo - she has her first day of track season today. how are they supposed to run? Everything is frozen and slippery....apparently those training for the Boston marathon are facing the same problem.

6:50 am

Trifioso

all apologies friends - I realize how grumpy I am coming across today. Not my usual sunny self at all....Im' really sorry

6:51 am

Anniebrook

We understand and sympathize. Had a lousy winter here in Brooklyn too. Weather from Hell.

6:51 am

Lizlin

You can have an "off" day - sounds like you need one. Spring will come soon for you.

6:52 am

Anniebrook

Saturday is the first day of spring.

6:52 am

Lizlin

Well, officially yes, (though here, Autumn has already started - 1 March) but I meant in reality!

6:53 am

Anniebrook

Liz, I forgot we are opposites. Interesting.

6:54 am

Lizlin

Even after 6 years here, I still get seasons muddled sometimes. Talk about July being next summer, when I logically know that it's winter here!

6:55 am

Trifioso

annie, my name is ElizaBeth, and the people at work call me Liz...for a second there I was "what? We are opposites?" lolol.

6:56 am

Lizlin

lol!

6:56 am

Anniebrook

Trif, that post was for Liz. My daughter's name is Elizabeth.

6:56 am

Trifioso

I know, I figured it out

6:57 am

Anniebrook

lol

6:57 am

Trifioso

It's a really good name. I like it very much.

6:57 am

Lizlin

Me too but I've been Liz for many many years now - only close family occasionally call me Elizabeth.

6:58 am

Anniebrook

I love the name, Trif. She is also called Liz. I still call her Elizabeth at times.

6:58 am

Trifioso

I'm the other way, actually - I am never EVER called Liz, except at work - another legacy of the dragon lady. She REFUSED to call me ElizaBeth - said it took too long

6:59 am

Lizlin

Stupid woman! As a teacher, I always called the kids by the names that they wanted to be called - and the same would obviously apply to colleagues.

6:59 am

bichon

My Mom was an Elizabeth but no one ever called her that. She was Elaine

6:59 am

Anniebrook

bah on the the dragon lady

6:59 am

Trifioso

okay, on a positive note: My White Flower Farm catalog came this weekend, and what a gift it was! I turned the pages SO SLOWLY, just imagining all the things I could plant, and where....

6:59 am

Lizlin

Hi bichon

7:00 am

Anniebrook

morning, bichon

7:01 am

Lizlin

Just googled that Trif. it looks lovely.

7:01 am

Trifioso

true fact: My older daughter had a boy in her class that asked, in second grade, to be called Susie, as he insisted that is who he really was. The kids didn't blink an eye, and Susie he was, for the rest of his school career. I am waiting for the day he becomes Susie for good, bless his heart....

7:01 am

Trifioso

its FABULOUS Lizlin...

7:01 am

bichon

Hi Annie, Trif. We are leaving for CA on Wed for a week. No snow

7:01 am

Trifioso

oh well done bichon! What part?

7:01 am

Lizlin

I really miss flowers here. We get great blossom in spring but it's a really difficult climate for flowers to survive.

7:02 am

Anniebrook

bichon, lucky you. San Francisco?

7:02 am

Lizlin

Sounds good, bichon.

7:02 am

Trifioso

is it too hot lizlin?

7:02 am

bichon

Not too hot or too cold

7:03 am

Lizlin

It can be hot - but more because it's really dry in the winter and at times, really wet in the summer! There's another cyclone brewing off the Queensland coast right now - don't think it'll affect us!

7:04 am

Trifioso

that would be tricky gardening conditions indeed. I am interested to see what survived this long freeze

7:04 am

Lizlin

I remember the first crocuses and tulips appearing through the snow at times, in London.

7:05 am

Trifioso

the trampoline died, and I have quite a lot of car damage to get repaired. But so does half the state. I swear, more than 50% of the cars on the roads here have a crushed bumper, or dimpled rear panel from hitting snowbanks

7:05 am

Trifioso

and yes, I know, I have to go the PB for about 8 of the words I just typed

7:05 am

bichon

A lot of people had to evacuate their homes after collapsing roofs

7:05 am

Lizlin

That's always the case with large grids!

7:06 am

Lizlin

Seems like you've all had a really tough winter :(

7:06 am

Trifioso

yes, bichon....my favorite local nursery lost an entire greenhouse....I was so upset.

7:07 am

bichon

Scrabs had a big problem. When the snow and ice fell from her roof, the debris rebounded and hit her house causing damage

7:08 am

Trifioso

I remember her saying that. Several people I know had terrible damage from water getting in their walls, and either rotting the walls, or the water then froze and expanded, cracking and bursting everything.

7:08 am

grant

Hey, Trif. Could you recommend a local contractor?

7:09 am

Anniebrook

Mass. and CT were hit hard. We had a bad winter but not closed to you two in damage.

7:09 am

Anniebrook

*clodr

7:09 am

Anniebrook

*dammm.----close

7:09 am

Trifioso

absolutely Grant! PMH construction. Matt Henry, owner. his number is (617) 347-2069

7:10 am

Trifioso

Can you recommend a plumber for me? One that actually a) returns calls, b) shows up when scheduled and c) can do plumbing related to heat ducts?

7:10 am

bichon

That is a tall order Trif

7:11 am

Trifioso

I guess so.

7:12 am

Uneaixoise

scrabs' description of what happened to her house was amazing -- ice bouncing as it hit the ground and breaking windows -- at least her sweet bunnies were ok

7:12 am

Lizlin

Sounds like basic courtesy to me!

7:12 am

Trifioso

grant, tell matt I gave you his number. ElizaBeth

7:12 am

grant

Need to look up plumber

7:13 am

Trifioso

I have called so many. They don't want work, I guess. boggles my mind

7:13 am

Lizlin

Well perhaps there's an overload of work because of the weather - doesn't help you though.

7:14 am

grant

More later

7:14 am

Trifioso

I have a radiator that burst. A plumber came to look at it, told me it needed to be replaced, and I haven't heard from him since. Meanwhile four gallons of hot water a day are coming out of it.

7:14 am

Trifioso

I rigged up this catch system to deal with the water, but it's a huge PITA

7:15 am

Uneaixoise

omg trif!!

7:15 am

Lizlin

Yikes!

7:15 am

Trifioso

Im trying to save the hardwood floor in the room, but I fear it's too late

7:16 am

Trifioso

Im a fairly good DIYer, but it's a really old, all one piece cast iron hot water job, and I have NO CHANCE at tackling it myself

7:16 am

bichon

Wow Trif. Sounds like you need a different and better plumber. But during this time, it's hard to find one.

7:16 am

Uneaixoise

crap crap crap -- soooo sorry!

7:17 am

Trifioso

yup. called all the ones I could find in the area. They either don't do heaters, or they are all too busy.

7:17 am

Lizlin

Really hope you find a good plumber soon.

7:17 am

Trifioso

thanks. bell is going to ring. see you third period :)

7:18 am

bichon

Who knew that plumbers were going to earn more than doctors. Reason to go to a technical high school

7:18 am

Trifioso

oh hey! We have one of those around here....maybe they could send a team over? Field trip!!!!

7:20 am

rubyfoo

I just read over the ch** and regarding the name Elizabeth, when my immigrant mother entered elementary school in Pittsburgh, her elder brother took her and said her name was Libbie (actually it was \Luba). The teacher said "That's not a real name" and henceforth she was Elizabeth on all her work records,etc.

7:21 am

Lizlin

Hi Ruby - how's Burt doing and more importantly, how are you holding up?

7:22 am

rubyfoo

He's doing surprisingly well, as long as I control his pain meds. I am tired beyond tired, but managing with elp from my friends and neighbors and housekeeper

7:23 am

Lizlin

That's good - on all counts. Happy that you've got help - I hope you don't overdo it. Try to get some rest whenever you can (I'm sure you are doing that!)

11:36 pm

harpjane

My kind of place. Everything is closed on Sunday. Also everyone stops for quiet prayer at 6:00 p.m. No large carnivores or poisonous snakes.

11:37 pm

grannyrose

sounds good. now tell me about the mosquitos, the ones that make jumbo jets look like gliders.

11:38 pm

harpjane

and three foot fruit bats!

11:38 pm

11:38 pm

grannyrose

*giggle* silly, aren't we?

11:38 pm

harpjane

I actually could not find the answer to that question, granny. i assume the resorts are open. And probably McDonalds

The tourism information specifies that there are no nude beaches, and tourists should plan on wearing a t shirt over their bikinis.

11:48 pm

nice...is it a predominantly catholic area?

11:56 pm

harpjane

Christian, but not strictly Catholic.

11:57 pm

I think the largest single denomination is LDS (Mormon).

11:57 pm

harpjane

Some say it is more Polynesian than Samoa.
