3:17 am

Lizlin

How's your day been?

3:18 am

grannyrose

busy. managed to get the laundry under control. have packed an overnight bag in case. still a few last minute things to be packed.

3:18 am

grannyrose

and your day, dear friend?

3:18 am

Lizlin

Didn't realuse overnight was a possibility - not for this one.

3:19 am

Lizlin

My days been good. Beach walk, gym - feel very noble and fit!

3:19 am

grannyrose

if pain control is not achieved, doc is going to admit me until it is under control.

3:20 am

grannyrose

tomorrow you can do it twice, once for you, once for me...roflol

3:20 am

Lizlin

Ah! I knew that was a possibility but not that it would be tomorrow.

3:21 am

Lizlin

Lol! Hopefully a walk tomorrow New carpet being fitted in the lounge in the morning.

3:21 am

grannyrose

i really am not sre. but better to be prepared is it not? can you imagine don rummaging through my drawers?

3:21 am

Lizlin

Only go to the gym 3 times a week.

3:22 am

grannyrose

well you can another 3 days for me can't you?

3:22 am

Lizlin

Not a pretty picture! Actually I'm sure he'd domit with love and consideration.

3:22 am

grannyrose

* giggling *

3:22 am

Lizlin

NO! Deliberately shouted. Not for anyone. I know it's good for me but don't really enjoy it.

3:24 am

grannyrose

liz, you do realise, if all this works out, it brings our holiday near you and hubby that much closer to fruition?

3:24 am

Lizlin

You should see the big smile at that thought.

3:24 am

grannyrose

as big as my smile?

3:25 am

Lizlin

At least.

3:25 am

grannyrose

don is actually considering driving up. how many days do you think? to drive up?

3:25 am

Lizlin

As much for your lack of pain as for seeing you.

3:26 am

Lizlin

Depends how hard he pushes and how many nights you want to spend. Just a minute.

3:28 am

Lizlin

Google maps reckons 17 - 18 hours driving - that's from central Melbourne.

3:28 am

grannyrose

i think we need to start planning in earnest. as you are my johnny on the spot i will be counting on youto let us know where to look for accommidation.

3:29 am

grannyrose

so two days at the least.

3:29 am

Lizlin

No probs!

3:29 am

Lizlin

Yes or take longer and stop at lovely coastal places en route.

3:30 am

grannyrose

i will email you closer to the time.

3:30 am

Lizlin

Sure. Much easier than being on my iPad.

3:30 am

grannyrose

liz girl we have done the sapphire coast as high as sydney. depends on how don feels i guess.

3:31 am

Lizlin

Would think so. How would his shoulder cope with so much driving?

3:33 am

Lizlin

Funny but the coast I was thinking of was the other stretch - from Sydney to here.

3:34 am

grannyrose

liz, dear we have the knew car. automatic. no probs for his shoulder.

3:35 am

grannyrose

aaagghhh!!! * NEW *

3:35 am

Lizlin

That's good. Never thought about that.

3:36 am

grannyrose

and i can 'spell' him if he needs it. it is such a luxury to drive.

3:37 am

Lizlin

So good that you love the car.

3:37 am

grannyrose

did i tell you about the button marked 'sport'?

3:37 am

Lizlin

No.

3:38 am

grannyrose

you push it, and the car goes into turbo mode. can't wait to try it....lolol

3:38 am

Lizlin

Ooooooh! Sounds awesome! Can just see you charging up the motorway full throttle.

3:39 am

grannyrose

3:39 am

Lizlin

With the cops hot on your tail - lol!

3:40 am

3:40 am

grannyrose

3:40 am

Lizlin

grannyrose

3:48 am

Lizlin

Thanks for the offer though.

Lizlin

One of 5 of them!

3:51 am

Lizlin

S I mean.

3:52 am

Lizlin

Not Spirado then.

3:52 am

grannyrose

sp7/32....pretty close to impossible. unless you are up-to-date with plants

3:53 am

Lizlin

Not so up to date with plants!

3:54 am

Lizlin

Suddenly knew it. More up to date that I thought.

3:54 am

Lizlin

Yay!

3:54 am

grannyrose

sp7. s + first part of sea-going robbers + two vowels. this word ends with 3 vowels

3:54 am

grannyrose

yay!

3:54 am

Lizlin

That was a big help. Thanks.

3:54 am

Lizlin

Must've seen the word in Bunnings!

3:55 am

grannyrose

probably...lolol

3:57 am

Lizlin

Almost time for dinner. 36 left now. Will probably try to get some more before bed tonight or tomorrow. Will be thinking of you and sending big positive vibes your way. Hugs to you (and sprite)

5:41 am

grannyrose

5:42 am

rubyfoo

I'm waiting for a woman to arrive, to interview for a couple of afternoons a week and maybe make dinner. We'll see if Burt likes her

5:42 am

rubyfoo

grannyrose

Sugrraleona

sukee

Good morning, thought I was going to have to do without game when I couldn't get in for a minute :)

5:48 am

grannyrose

g'day sukee

5:48 am

crosshair

Howdy, sukee. broke out in a sweat for a moment eh?

5:49 am

sukee

Really :)

5:49 am

sukee

Hi crossy, Rose

5:50 am

sukee

This weather is doing my head in -11 here right now. Tomorrow will be 3 in the morning.

5:51 am

grannyrose

sukee, wanna change places with me??

5:51 am

crosshair

minus 14 here, sukee:) wind chill of minus 22:)

5:51 am

sukee

Not sure, is it under 90?

5:52 am

crosshair

even notice how we always go to F when talking about how hot it is down under? lol

5:52 am

grannyrose

crossy, you can keep it...sukee's temps more to my bod's liking....

5:52 am

sukee

Lol, that is true crossy.

5:52 am

crosshair

No wonder our kids look at us funny:)

5:53 am

grannyrose

sukee tomorrow to be 82.4F here. wanna move in..

5:53 am

sukee

Well, 90 sounds so much better than 45 or whatever.

5:54 am

crosshair

There are several kids in the school I volunteer at that cannot tell time on an analog clock. If it is not a digital readout they get confused, especially if you say half-past three or quarter-to six

5:54 am

crosshair

82F by the water sounds just nice

5:55 am

sukee

Yes with a nice cool drink and a fan.

5:55 am

grannyrose

yeah, crossy. sad to say we had the same problem with our eldest son...and he is 40 years old this year.

5:55 am

sukee

Cat made my day by throwing up a hairball right in the middle of my bed. After I got up thankfully.

5:56 am

grannyrose

ugh, crossy...you can keep that one.

5:56 am

crosshair

Don't you love that, sukee? Ours cat just started dry-heaving at 2 am just to keep us on our toes;(

5:56 am

sukee

Oh well, had to change the sheet anyway :)

5:57 am

grannyrose

sorry...that was...ugh sukee

5:57 am

sukee

It was such a minor hair ball too.

5:57 am

sukee

I keep trying to type in small.

5:58 am

grannyrose

* laughing out loud * properly

5:59 am

sukee

Not liking this grid particularly.

6:01 am

grannyrose

i think i had better put this very sorry butt into bed. i have to be up and at 'em in less than 8 1/2 hours. not enough for someone who seems to need 9-10 hours at the moment.

6:01 am

sukee

You take care and have a good sleep.

6:01 am

grannyrose

xoxox crossy and sukee.

6:03 am

crosshair

have a good sleep ((Rose))

6:04 am

sukee

Woo hoo, Ted Cruz is running for president. Comic relief...

6:05 am

crosshair

I try to not look too closely to politics. It makes me nauseous.

6:06 am

sukee

Just one more chance that Hilary might be the next President if she runs. I'm not that crazy about her but when you consider the alternative in the other party...

6:06 am

sukee

We have our own election coming up.

6:08 am

crosshair

I have no opinion on Hillary one way or another. may as well. it is always a crap-shoot anyways

6:09 am

sukee

If I were in the US there is only one party I could support. I want the world to go ahead, not backwards.

6:11 am

car.eeyore

Good morning

6:11 am

sukee

Hi car.

6:42 am

crosshair

Howdy, Car

6:42 am

crosshair

sadly, I do not follow U.S politics, so I shall defer to you on that topic, sukee;)

6:45 am

crosshair

I really should start getting a newspaper every day again now that I no longer use cable tv:)

6:47 am

crosshair

On that note we (Ontario) are FINALLY getting a la carte cable programming. Only took them 6 years of looking at it. Even still it will not be fully operational until dec 1016;(

6:48 am

crosshair

We will be able to pay 25 dollars for the basic pack, then we can cherry pick our favorite channels individually after that.

6:49 am

Uneaixoise

sounds GREAT!!

6:51 am

crosshair

Ineed, Une. out of the hundreds of channels available, there are about 5-8 that I really like.

6:52 am

crosshair

and the C.R.T.C even went so far as to cap that basic cable pack price.

6:52 am

Uneaixoise

i know what you mean -- i would probably be completely happy with 15 max . . .

6:53 am

crosshair

Of course, they are only doing it noe because of the pressure coming to bear on them from internet entertainment streaming.

6:53 am

crosshair

now*

6:53 am

Uneaixoise

oohhh ok

6:53 am

crosshair

They are taking a beating from netflix.

6:54 am

Uneaixoise

yeah, i've heard Netflix is really putting the pressure on . . .

6:54 am

crosshair

Well, 8 dollars vs 100 per month--it is no contest

6:54 am

Uneaixoise

no kidding! :-)

6:55 am

crosshair

it will be interesting to see what Rogers charges for the individual selections.

6:56 am

crosshair

Btu they instituted this long roll out:( Almost another 2 years to go:(

6:56 am

crosshair

But*

6:57 am

crosshair

By that time they will be lucky to have any users left:)

6:57 am

Uneaixoise

right now I get (later, when DVD's are released) I pay for HBO but get series that I really like -- on Showtime for example-- from my local library

6:58 am

crosshair

yes, you can got to site like HBO and History and buy shows directly:)

6:58 am

Uneaixoise

here in the US Comcast will certainly hold out till the very last second!

6:58 am

crosshair

TLC used to be a good channel but it is now nothing but a daytime talk show drama-fest

6:59 am

Uneaixoise

I have History as part of my basic cable package

6:59 am

crosshair

see, we have to get the next tier to get history and Discovery. thats why 100 per month:(

7:00 am

crosshair

That business practice is what we have been fighting against for years.

7:00 am

Uneaixoise

wait, you're right -- i do too . . . it's the next notch up

7:00 am

crosshair

I just gave up waiting 2 years ago.

7:01 am

crosshair

of course, Netflix will not be your cup of tea if you are into sports and news programming.

7:01 am

Uneaixoise

i also pay extra for the Tennis channel -- but it's gone from $5 to $8 and will probably keep climbing -- so frustrating -- ESPN and ESPN2 USED to carry the big tennis tournaments

7:02 am

Uneaixoise

tennis is my only TV sports interest

7:02 am

Uneaixoise

and my interest is waning . . .

7:04 am

Uneaixoise

need to get going . . . HAGD!!

7:08 am

crosshair

Ouch! if our single picks are to be $8/month then this new program is doomed to failure before it starts!

7:10 am

crosshair

I was thinking more lie 42/month would be about right for the single picks

7:10 am

crosshair

otherwise if you get 6 channels there is no savings at all

7:11 am

crosshair

25 for the core pack and 48 dollars for 6 channels is $73.00 plus 13% tax and you are back up to the old price point .

7:13 am

crosshair

So it better not be $8/channel:(

7:15 am

crosshair

more like $2/month

7:18 am

Marc Freeman
