rubyfoo

hello

4:45 am

rubyfoo

the time change in Europe today? I'm waiting for th3 doctor

4:46 am

rubyfoo

did? I s anybody there?

4:53 am

grannyrose

hello dearest ruby. is doc's visit just routine?

4:53 am

rubyfoo

no, nurse came yesterday and it's possible that B. has an infection, although he has no fever. Just a lot of pain

4:53 am

rubyfoo

I am beside myself.

4:54 am

rubyfoo

And he can't remember where he is or what year it is. That may be the effect of the tramadol plus anesthesia -- I really hope so

4:54 am

grannyrose

pugs had heaps of pain post-op too. besides he's a man dear. they don't have headaches, just migrines

4:55 am

rubyfoo

Did your time change. I have to run errands but am afraid the MD will arrive when I'm gone

4:55 am

grannyrose

is he well hydrated? dehydration can cause weird behaviour in the elderly.

4:56 am

grannyrose

can you ring the doc and ask for an about time?

4:56 am

rubyfoo

I keep giving him water

4:56 am

rubyfoo

he said around noon, but that can mean anything around here

4:57 am

grannyrose

can the errands wait til after? is your housekeeper available for however long it would take you?

4:58 am

rubyfoo

She came for about ten minutes to make a fire and feed the birds, but she doesn't work for me on Sat and had stuff to do with HER sick husband and her 3 sons

4:59 am

grannyrose

oh, dear. i don't know what else to say?

4:59 am

rubyfoo

I think I'm just having a rough morning. I can run the errands AFTER the doc gets here

5:01 am

rubyfoo

I am just frazzled, sorry to vent on you, dear friend

5:01 am

rubyfoo

I am just frazzled, sorry to vent on you, dear friend

5:02 am

grannyrose

that's what i'm here for. the good, the bad, and the ugly

5:03 am

rubyfoo

ugly it is and I even had the red boxes, briefly

5:03 am

grannyrose

is burt well dosed up on his pain meds? i don't think it is the tramadol. we quite often have probs with the elderly post-op, both sexes.

5:04 am

rubyfoo

He is taking tramadol + paracetemol, advil, all of his heart meds and his eye drops. I haven't been bothering with his vitamins

5:05 am

rubyfoo

I feel like I need a nursing degree

5:06 am

grannyrose

good for you, ruby, you are doing fine. now go make yourself a cuppa and take a deep breath.

5:11 am

rubyfoo

I feel like crying but am afraid that, if I start, I won't be able to stop

5:14 am

grannyrose

a good cry is very cathartic. it helps to clear your mind. try going outside, or somewhere burt can't hear you though...and let her rip. you need to do it.

5:16 am

rubyfoo

I just called the local Italian resto and he's bringing Burt's lunch! Amazing!

5:16 am

grannyrose

what a kind man he is! be sure to give him an extra hug...

5:17 am

rubyfoo

I love him, his wife and their dogs! They could not be kinder.

5:18 am

rubyfoo

AAt least that takes care of part of the pressure

5:20 am

grannyrose

good for them then. now about that cuppa....or do already have one to hand?

Enjoy, Dan!

7:22 am

wvteach

are you working this weekend Scrabs?

7:23 am

Scrabbler

I am meeting a contractor at the local hardware store to look at bathroom vanities, vanity tops, laminate flooring, etc. Big decisions to make.

7:23 am

Scrabbler

I work Easter weekend, including Good Friday, when everyone else wants to be off.

7:25 am

wvteach

But fun decisions to make

7:25 am

Scrabbler

This is the year of home improvements! I have delayed so many projects but now I found a home improvement guy to do the work. I am a DIYer but I just don't have the time, so it is now time to pay someone.

7:26 am

wvteach

DIY takes time - a lot of it

7:27 am

Scrabbler

And at age 55 I realize time matters more to me than saving $ by doing projects myself. So, I will help a young contractor earn $ for his family.

7:29 am

wvteach

it's good you found someone reliable - we got someone to put on a new roof and are now suing him for not finishing the job - will no longer return phone calls

7:29 am

Scrabbler

And I must get going now. I shall return here this afternoon or evening. Enjoy the day!

7:30 am

Scrabbler

Terrible, wv!

ugh; no fun TO

1:38 pm

hego

The potholes are everywhere!

1:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

and you cannot see them at night then - BOOM!

1:39 pm

Trifioso

we were just speaking of this at school the other day - now that the worst of the onslaught is abating, people are beginning to see just how much this winter actually cost - gutters need to be fixed, dents and dings and broken fenders on cars, broken windows, leaks in houses, ice dam damage, perennials, trees, shrubs died....my fish pond is a goner for SURE....

1:39 pm

hego

Nasty!

1:41 pm

Trifioso

my poor fish....I really do hope SOME of them survived, but I doubt it. the little heater that keeps an air hole open to exchange gasses just could NOT compete with the snow fall

1:42 pm

Trifioso

they aren't prize koi or naught - we bought about 20 feeder goldfish 6 years ago for maybe all of a $1.20 and chucked them in there, and they got busy right away, and I had over 60 really good sized fish in there this past fall.

1:43 pm

hego

Poor babies!

1:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

wow. poor things.

1:44 pm

Trifioso

however, if you think it is "fun" to collect up and dispose of bloated, dead fish, frogs, and salamanders on a chilly spring day, then you are wrong. Leave it ONE day too long though, and I swear, every neighborhood dog invades the pond and rolls in the dead things, and oh my god, you. cant. even.

1:44 pm

hego

:P

1:45 pm

Trifioso

I promise I will stop talking aboutitnow

1:45 pm

2:27 pm

rubyfoo

If you see trif again, pls tell her that our ordinary pond fish survived many winters under snow and ice with no heater. They just caoodled to keep warm, I gue, because we started with 23 feeders and, at its peak, had about 300

Hello. Just back to the grid after lunch and dessert. I made a white cake for a change as I rarely bake cakes, any cakes lately.

3:43 pm

Atalante

I lvoe that americans have white cakes adn yellow cakes

Just egg whites in the white cake.

3:44 pm

stidgmere

Did you see the fancy eclipse Atalante?

3:44 pm

Atalante

ahhh, makes sense!

3:45 pm

Atalante

yes, I did! we had 95% coverage of teh sun. it was great

3:47 pm

stidgmere

Wow, we would have had clouds and that makes viewing impossible. But, this time it wasn't even in our neighborhood so we just thought about how lucky folks were in England.

5:29 pm

crosshair

!! we just got 3 inches of wet, heavy snow in under 2 hours!.. ugh... Nice that it is spring;)

5:30 pm

crosshair

still coming down:(

6:08 pm

crosshair

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

6:09 pm

crosshair

A male bear is called a boar or a he-bear. A female bear is called a sow or a she-bear. A group of bears is called a sleuth or sloth.

6:09 pm

Eva

and a flock of ravens is called an unkindness

6:11 pm

crosshair

A group of crows is called a "murder"

6:11 pm

Eva

and a group of whales is a pod

6:11 pm

crosshair

a group of teens are called an I-pod:)

6:12 pm

Eva

lol

6:12 pm

Eva

i have an unkindness of ravens behind my house. Never had them before.

6:13 pm

crosshair

a group of apes are called a "shrewdness"

6:13 pm

Eva

ooh like that one.

6:13 pm

crosshair

then there is a "prickle" of porcupines:)

6:14 pm

crosshair

and a "smack" of jellyfish... lol who dreams these up I wonder?

6:14 pm

crosshair

and one I like... A "tower" of giraffes

6:18 pm

Eva

a flamboyance of flamingos

6:18 pm

bichon

It's a sting of jellyfish

6:18 pm

Eva

and a clowder of cats

6:19 pm

Eva

how do porcupines make love?

6:20 pm

Scrabbler

Very carefully.

6:20 pm

Eva

yup

6:21 pm

bichon

lo 4/5, second one, I'm really embarrassed

6:21 pm

Scrabbler

I finished my 2014 taxes! I owe $1330 federal and $335 state. Like I didn't already pay enough.

6:22 pm

crosshair

Just make the duck face before kissing...

6:22 pm

bichon

We had to pay 47 G between Feds and State

6:22 pm

Scrabbler

A lo4 is used in textile factories to make fabric

6:22 pm

Scrabbler

WHAT, bichon??

6:22 pm

bichon

doh

6:23 pm

crosshair

47g??!!

6:23 pm

bichon

Sorry, 7 G

6:23 pm

bichon

ty

6:23 pm

Scrabbler

That sounds better, way better than 47k!

6:24 pm

bichon

we don't even have $7G in liquid assets

6:25 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, no! Can you borrow the money?

6:25 pm

crosshair

I do not have that problem. Just before tax time I suddenly decided to go on a trip. I would see all that i could see until I ran out of money... i had to turn back once I got to the mail box at the end of the driveway...

6:26 pm

crosshair

What are these "liquid assets" you speak of? lol

6:26 pm

Scrabbler

Haha.

6:27 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, that is hilarious.

6:27 pm

bichon

The liquid assets are what we could put together in a day

6:29 pm

Scrabbler

Was the 7K unexpected?

6:30 pm

bichon

NOt really, it had to do with my mother's death and her estate being combined with ours. I should have paid estimated taxes

6:31 pm

Scrabbler

I will be paying estimated quarterly taxes starting this year because I am now a business partner.

6:32 pm

crosshair

They are relentless are they not? By the time they were done with my beloveds mother's estate there was $700.00 left:(

6:33 pm

Scrabbler

I need to do some estate planning and update my will.

6:34 pm

crosshair

After the 2 year horror of dealing my m-i-l's will, I am determined to get a proper one done for myself so my kid does not have to go through that mess

6:35 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, it is owed to survivors.

6:36 pm

crosshair

The main problem was that half the stuff was verbal, half written down and the last update had been 10 years previous

6:37 pm

Dorens

I'll switch tax payments with you Scrabs

6:37 pm

crosshair

One bit of advice i took away after the 2 years of hell is this: "write it in the will!!!" Verbal bequeaths are not worth the air used to utter them

6:37 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, Crossy.

6:37 pm

Scrabbler

Doren, are you being hit hard?

6:38 pm

Dorens

hopefully not

6:41 pm

snags

Crossy, I just read your profile. I have always enjoyed your tidbits, or what have you, that you post. You know you can't please everyone, so why not just please yourself?? You are what matters and as long as it's not offensive, whom cares?? Bring it on!!!!

6:41 pm

crosshair

Even though my wife was the only female survivor, the remaining inheritors forced us to sell her mums wedding sets so they could squeeze the maximum cash possible out of the estate. Did not matter a whit that mum said she could have them when she was alive:( anyways i shall leave you to your taxes. Think I shall dive in this grid a bit and see if i can finish two days in a row:)

6:42 pm

crosshair

Ty for your support ,Snags...

6:42 pm

crosshair

I will keep on due to high response and popular demand. i should have never let a few sour apples get under my skin

6:43 pm

crosshair

I stopped counting the emails on this at 167, Snags:))

6:43 pm

crosshair

And they are still trickling in:)

6:43 pm

snags

So glad you have reconsidered. :)

6:44 pm

jaxx7

There you are, crossy, 167 supporters.

6:44 pm

crosshair

you would be surprised how many very active babble lurkers we have. I got to speak with quite a few of them over the last little while;)

6:45 pm

jaxx7

I lurk because some of the babblers can be unkind. I come out to play when I see friendly icons.

6:47 pm

snags

see, it only takes a few to ruin a good thing.

6:47 pm

crosshair

I love the early morning babblers. i get to chat with all the aussie, U.K, and euro players

6:48 pm

crosshair

I promise not to let them get under my skin like that again. they are only a handful anyways> perhaps the perfect tidbit will break off thier hard crust one day:)

6:48 pm

crosshair

darn typos

snags

We can only hope.

6:49 pm

My fingers rebel every now and again:)

6:51 pm

rururocks

I believe I've ever seen a comment in the chat about the tidbits.. but then I'm not here all the time either

6:51 pm

Bugsaw

hello friends. I like crossy's tidbits

6:51 pm

jaxx7

Mine do it all the time. The brain goes faster than the fingers

6:51 pm

crosshair

Howdy, bugsaw and ty:)

6:52 pm

crosshair

That is exactly it, jaxx. i am often thinking faster that the fingers will type

6:53 pm

jaxx7

And the d*** cursor often forgets to move at all

6:53 pm

Bugsaw

I agree with jaxx tho. I only come out when I feel comfortable and lurk most of the time.

6:53 pm

rururocks

maybe your fingers are just drunk crossy? :D

6:53 pm

crosshair

I wish... this place is dryer than a popcorn fart atm;(

6:53 pm

jaxx7

Hi, Bugs. how goes it?

6:53 pm

Scrabbler

I look forward to your tidbits, Crossy! Ignore the meanies. If they don't like what they see in the chat they can ignore it. I ignore the snarky comments.

6:54 pm

Bugsaw

things are going better here jaxx. Mr Bugs finally got hearing aids and our lives are transformed! My sympathies to all of you who live with an equally stubborn, tho loveable person.

6:56 pm

jaxx7

Glad to hear it, Bugs. My husband takes after his mother who was the most cussed person I ever met

6:56 pm

crosshair

lol, bugsaw. My grandad used to turn down his hearing aid so he could ignore my grammy's calls for chores:) She said she used to get so angry lol

6:56 pm

jaxx7

Don't give Mr Bugs ideas, crossy

6:56 pm

crosshair

and he would act all innocent and turn it back up once he knew she was coming into the room

6:57 pm

Bugsaw

as long as he turns it on when he sees me coming, we are all good

6:58 pm

crosshair

do the new ones still have volume control settings?

6:58 pm

Bugsaw

the other day he came in from outside claining that blue jays should be banned -- they are too darn noisey!

6:58 pm

rururocks

<---thinking of better turn-ons

6:59 pm

crosshair

easy ruru. Hit the showers:)

6:59 pm

Bugsaw

one kind leads to another ruru.

7:00 pm

jaxx7

Our next door neighbour has 5 dogs and he lets them all out at once. Now that is noisy. Then he had the nerve to complain that the crow who visits our birdtable was too noisy.

7:01 pm

crosshair

Well, he will just have to deal with the birds. What does he want? for you to shoo them??

7:01 pm

Bugsaw

I love crows. They are smart and remember nice people as well as the cranky ones

7:01 pm

crosshair

shoot

7:02 pm

jaxx7

I am feeling inclined to shoot the darn dogs, especially the really yappy one

7:02 pm

Scrabbler

52 left and I have had enough of this grid. See all of you in the morning. Sleep well, folks.

7:03 pm

jaxx7

Corvines as a species are very clever. My sister had a baby magpie that she rescued. He used to answer the phone!

7:03 pm

Bugsaw

bye Scrabbler

7:03 pm

jaxx7

Night, scrabbler. take care and pleasant dreams

7:04 pm

Bugsaw

I raised a couple of baby crows that fell out of the nest when I was a kid. They ate canned cat food.

7:05 pm

jaxx7

We never to see crows in flocks but now the families fly together.

7:05 pm

Dorens

they didn't drive you stark raven mad?

7:05 pm

jaxx7

HaHa, Dorens. very good

7:06 pm

Bugsaw

good one Dorens!

7:06 pm

crosshair

We raised a robin once:)

7:07 pm

jaxx7

i remember you telling me that, crossy, when we were trying to raise that baby robin last year

7:07 pm

crosshair

The hard par was regurgitating all those worms...:(

7:08 pm

Bugsaw

I found a robin's egg once and put it under my pillow to be the mother bird and keep it warm. Problem was that by bedtime I forgot it was there and slept on it. My mother was not impressed

7:08 pm

jaxx7

You should have tried mealworms, crossy. All nice and crunchy. lol

7:08 pm

rururocks

trying to hatch birds isn't all it's cracked up to be bugs

7:08 pm

crosshair

lol

7:08 pm

Bugsaw

What did you feed your robin?

7:09 pm

Bugsaw

well done ruru

7:09 pm

crosshair

We started with baby formulae and an eyedropper

7:09 pm

jaxx7

Mini mealworms. my husband was mummy and the bird came when called.

7:10 pm

crosshair

then it was bugs, worms and high protein dog food as I recall. he used to steal food from the dogs dish

7:10 pm

Bugsaw

omg crossy. I had to do that with a drug addicted baby once. It took forever!

7:10 pm
