12:33 am

12:33 am

negativeneil

Well, some nights I sleep ok and actually get enough sleep. But not often enough.

12:34 am

rururocks

I start thinking about work and then can't go back to sleep

12:34 am

negativeneil

I'd be asleep already, but waited for a load of laundry I now have to transfer to the dryer. Then I can crash... but wanna finish this grid first. :P

12:34 am

negativeneil

Yeah. I do that too a lot.

12:34 am

rururocks

12:51 am

flosey

off to bed, 24 to go but very sleepy

1:35 am

flosey

well, so much for sleepy!! back to finish up

1:49 am

grannyrose

poor flosey. i am about to go out for dinner. i have a drink for you....lol

1:50 am

flosey

please do, and enjoy

1:50 am

grannyrose

i am celebrating turning 21 for the third ti4 today.

1:53 am

flosey

rose, I had an injection of triamcinolone acetonide this afternoon, for pain relief - I came home and slept for a couple of hours, had a cup of tea and slept again!! would that be normal for such med.?

1:53 am

flosey

well, you have every right to celebrate, Rose, enjoy and cheers!

1:55 am

grannyrose

if the pain has subsided due to the injection, then yes. it is perfectly normal. when we loose that pain our body allows us to nap/doze in order to catch up on lost sleep.

1:57 am

flosey

ah, well, I sure did!

1:57 am

grannyrose

i am so looking forward to bedtime tonight. i have been pain-free since the infusions yesterday. i am a little stiff, but no pain and no aches.

1:58 am

flosey

happy for you - you will really enjoy your evening out !

1:58 am

grannyrose

i haven't had any paracetamol or ibuprofen since yesterday morning.

1:59 am

flosey

very good, rose

1:59 am

grannyrose

now for you. do you have a favourite prayer or poem which makes you happy and relaxed?

2:00 am

flosey

no rose, that would probably be a good idea, otherwise my mind wanders and keeps me awake

2:00 am

sprite

good morning all

2:00 am

grannyrose

i simply adore reciting the Gloria, a prayer of praise. sometimes after only once, i am aslepp, sometimes it takes 3-4 repititions.

2:01 am

sprite

my darling rose, what wonderful news! *hugs*

2:01 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} sprite. i am only here for about 30 minutes dear. don is taking me out for dinner.

2:02 am

grannyrose

i wish you could have seen me after the bolus. you would have been in stitches.

2:02 am

sprite

all good, darling. Dinner out sounds wonderful. And being pain-free even better. Am so so happy for you. Good advice from the nurse, btw. Just enjoy it.

2:02 am

flosey

bolus?

2:02 am

sprite

nah, your reaction to the bolus sound scary, to be honest. Very important to have a nurse with you to tell you it is all normal and just relax and let it happen.

2:03 am

grannyrose

they gave me a 5ml bolus of the ketamine infusion flosey. i was off the planet....lol

2:04 am

grannyrose

i felt like i had been anaesthetised, and not fallen asleep. i had ringing in my ears, my speech was slurred and i couldn't remember the right words to say.

2:04 am

flosey

had never heard the term 'bolus' rose, just looked it up

2:04 am

grannyrose

but my nurse stayed right th5 beside me until the effects wore off, and reassured me all the way through the process.

2:04 am

flosey

wow, must have been a heavy dose

2:05 am

flosey

I had been told I'd be safe driving after the injection - otherwise would have had to wait, hubby was off island

2:05 am

grannyrose

that was a 20mg dose of ketamine, in one dose. doc wanted to build up the effect.

2:06 am

sprite

lol, here in the netherlands, the word 'bolus' is also used to refer to poop... because of the shape that is similar to a 'zeeuwse bolus' which is a melasses pastry snack.

2:06 am

grannyrose

i'm not going to drive until i am told it is okay to do so.

2:07 am

flosey

wow, sprite, meds or poop, strange confusion

2:08 am

sprite

meds or poop or a pastry snack, yes. Very weird.

2:09 am

grannyrose

gee thanx sprite.the mind pictures are killing me.

2:11 am

flosey

quite a giggle

2:12 am

sprite

*giggles*
Look:

2:15 am

grannyrose

oh my, killing myself laughing...i hope they taste good.

2:16 am

sprite

very very sweet, of course. But yes, they taste good. Famous treat in the netherlands.

2:17 am

flosey

oooooooooooh! they look yummy, Sprite

2:17 am

grannyrose

sweet is good.... so long as they don't taste poopy....roflol

2:17 am

flosey

next time I find a Dutch bakery, I'll ask for them

2:17 am

sprite

*grin* But not to take away attention from our rose... so they injected a bolus into you. And now you are pain-free. And going out for dinner. Whatcha gonna have?

2:18 am

sprite

good idea, flosey!

2:18 am

grannyrose

what?? ask for poopy rolls??

2:18 am

flosey

I believe there is one in Victoria, so next time I'm over

2:18 am

sprite

lol

2:19 am

grannyrose

2:19 am

2:20 am

flosey

zoozzoom

I hate these new washing machines.if i put just a little too much washing in for the machine..it does not spin fully.So when the washing machine has finished..the clothes are still wet.I then have to put the clothes back in bit by bit and put it on spin to dry then better..Stupid thing.

5:45 am

grannyrose

nope...nopt gonna do that, zooz. he did eat the last of the mango chicken and the last of the naan.

5:46 am

I put a bit of creamery butter in my cast iron pan, then add diced green onions, 3 finely diced cloves of fresh garlic, and 8 strips of crumbled hickory smoked, maple kissed bacon. i fry that for a few moments just until the garlic bits start going brown, then i add a generous dollop to top shelf vodka. i then flambe the entire works for 30 seconds, and put out the flames with a 1/2 pint of 35 cream. i let all that simmer for a bit them mix it with my aldente penne pasta. i serve this dish with a simple spinach salady and crusty italian bread

5:59 am

sukee

Trying to use everything in my fridge before going shopping. I'm economizing. I had put my self employment earnings into the wrong box on my tax last year and just had to pay them an extra $375. An I haven't even done this year's taxes yet.

sukee

I know I will have to pay over $1,000.

6:00 am

sukee

Lol zoo.

6:00 am

zoozzoom

Wow that is a lot of money..I don't blame you being frugal, sukee.

6:00 am

sukee

Hearing more about the French plane crash. An opera singer, her husband and baby were all killed. So sad.

6:01 am

zoozzoom

I bought an excellent book from one of our babblers called, Angelsong. On being frugal..very informative!

6:01 am

sukee

That means no ordering in food for a while too.

6:01 am

zoozzoom

Also there was a school party on the plane too :-(

6:01 am

sukee

Yes, just seeing that now.

6:02 am

zoozzoom

I think they were saying yesterday that there might of been some britons on the plane too.

7:28 am

suefrad625

There is a Christian song called Broken. It is about everyone being broken is some way and being afraid to ask for help. No matter who we are, we are never not broken. I believe this game is so wonderful because it forces us to see that also. We ask each other for help without fear of belittlement. I have been playing here for, wow, probably 7yrs and have learned that i can not only ask for help in the game, but in life too. We share so much, it is our support group. What an amazing gift God has given us. I am so blessed to know you are all there to pray with and for me. Thank you all.

7:29 am

You bless us too, sue

Bugsaw

Hi PIni

9:13 pm

Pinikula

hiya bugs :)

9:16 pm

Nef

Good Evening Everyone. Is this a tough grid?

9:16 pm

Bugsaw

hi Nef

9:17 pm

Bugsaw

I can't remember that far back to the time I started Nef. I am finding it quite boring now

9:17 pm

Nef

Hi Bugs. How are you doing tonight? (I was trying to chat in the wrong box again; I'm getting worse at that again lately)

9:17 pm

Pinikula

it's doable...just a few twists and turns, but not many....

9:20 pm

Bugsaw

lol Nef. I am well but tired a lot lately so I had a nap. Hence, forgetting about the grid

9:20 pm

Nef

Thaks for the encouragement, Pini. How're you doing these days?

9:20 pm

Pinikula

busier than ever this term...and the next 8-10 weeks are going to be a whirlwind! :-/

9:21 pm

Pinikula

... and ra7 was my last! *sparklers*

9:21 pm

Bugsaw

YAY PIni!

9:22 pm

Nef

I just have to mke it through this Friday; THEN my life will be easier. (We are closing on the Aunty's condo then; I need it off my back!)

9:22 pm

Nef

YAY, Pini!!!! WTG!!!

9:22 pm

Pinikula

feeling kinda foolish tho...shoulda found that one a long time ago...

9:23 pm

Bugsaw

I couldn't see it forever either. I love the genre

9:26 pm

Nef

Well, I found an ra 7/40; is there only 1 ra7? (Thanks for the stats!

9:26 pm

Pinikula

yes, nef :)

9:27 pm

Pinikula

it's a great genre, bugs! :)

9:27 pm

Nef

Thaks! :-)

9:29 pm

Bugsaw

I will be off on asearch for food now. happy Babbling Nef

9:29 pm

Pinikula

take care, Bugs :)

9:30 pm

Nef

My Goodness! I see I can't spell tonight either! Maybe I should stop before I get too involved with this grid.

9:30 pm

Nef

Bye, Bugs! Enjoy the food & evening!

9:30 pm

Pinikula

oh, you're doing great, nef!

9:32 pm

Nef

I've got 2 fingers with cuts and splits ; so I have bandages on them and I keep missing those letters. You should see some of the words I've tried entering

9:33 pm

Pinikula

oh no! (well, take youre time and let me know if you need something - otherwise, I'll say ciao for a bit [to work on IronSudoku] and return later) :)

9:34 pm

Nef

Could you please give me the stats on aan 8 letter word; then I'll keep plugging away for a while

9:35 pm

Pinikula

eq8/70 and te8/50

9:35 pm

Pinikula

(the latter presses two common words together) :)

9:35 pm

Pinikula

(for that matter, the first one does, too)

9:36 pm

Nef

Thaks! I'll keep working,

9:36 pm

Nef

Thanks, I mean

9:38 pm

Nef

"i got the te 8! thanks!!!" (till chatting in wrong boxâ€¦â€¦.

9:39 pm

Nef

still

9:39 pm

Pinikula

:)

9:40 pm

Nef

And the other 8!!! THaNk you Pini!!!

9:41 pm

Pinikula

YEAH!!!!

9:41 pm

Pinikula

(PS: I'll keep an eye on this chat box while I do the sudoku puzzle on the other screen!) [forgot I could do that] :)

9:43 pm

Nef

Thnks Pini. THe way I'm going; I probably won't either a.) stay awake until done; or b.) not finish before the flip. But I will try..

9:44 pm

Pinikula

Well, I'll stick around for ya! Just hollar!!! :)

9:45 pm

Nef

Thanks! :-) Good Luck with your Suduko!

9:45 pm

Pinikula

It says "easy"...but I'm not so sure :)

9:47 pm

Nef

Are the Iron Sudukos ever easy? It's been so long since I've tried playing it that I don't remember (then again; maybe it would be easier for me than trying to spell tonight)

9:48 pm

torgone

Today's is quite easy ..

9:48 pm

Pinikula

I'm just getting into them...

9:48 pm

Nef

Hi tor. That's good to know

9:49 pm

Pinikula

I even built an Excel spreadsheet that helps me manage what "could be" in each squares! (pretty sad, eh?)

9:50 pm

Nef

I've been doing suduko in the daily paper for years but haven't tried playing them here

9:50 pm

Nef

If it helps you, Pini, it isn't sad; it's something I've never considered

9:50 pm

torgone

There's actually a script that someone wrote that will fill in all the possibilities ..

9:51 pm

Pinikula

but I don't have a paid subscription over there ... yet!

9:52 pm

torgone

Ah

10:00 pm

Pinikula

it's always so hopeful when I start out doing pretty good...and then *bam* the wall...

10:03 pm

Nef

That sounds like me and this grid! 58 left & repeating myself too often

10:06 pm

Nef

(And I say that in chat and suddenly find 5 more words. I should keep aying that

10:07 pm

Nef

"Saying!" not aying

10:12 pm

stidmama

((((hugs all))))

10:13 pm

Nef

Hi stid! How are you?

10:14 pm

stidmama

AGH. UGH. URG. babbling on a school night, was too tired to go to orchestra rehearsal. Middle of testing the third graders with a poorly conceived and worse-executed new test. Any other questions?

10:14 pm

stidmama

Other than that, life is hunky-dory! LOL You?

10:14 pm

Nef

((((stid))))

10:15 pm

Nef

I'll be fine once the closong is over on Friday (finally selling AUnty Jean's condo! I'll be so releaved when this is done!)

10:16 pm

Pinikula

hiya stid!

10:17 pm

stidmama

wow -- good for you! I imagine selling a house is even worse than buying one!

10:17 pm

stidmama

*****pini hugs***** you have YOUR meningitis shot, young lady????

10:18 pm

Pinikula

um ... no ... but I've already experienced it, too - my eldest had it when she was 20 months old :-/

10:19 pm

stidmama

yuck. I have been reading in the news about the outbreak there. I suppose if you aren't around a lot of students you are probably okay...

10:20 pm

Nef

We seemed to attract the crazies with this. The first couple baxcke d off at the very last moment because "the garage door was too noisy!" This couple that re buying it now are crazy pushy: they are worried about "cooking smells" (their first showing was the day after Valentine's Day - my daughter had fixed crabs for her boyfriend that night

10:20 pm

Pinikula

We're so disassociated, it's a wonder they still consider us "on campus"

10:20 pm

stidmama

ah, yes -- no telling what scents a person is "scent"sitive to! *grin*

10:21 pm

Pinikula

speaking of houses -- Camo Boy and his parents just bought their first! (started moving in last weekend)

10:21 pm

Nef

(& I can't type tonight - "worked my fingers to the bone" getting things packed & cleaned so have bandaids on a couple of them)

10:22 pm

Pinikula

...and CB2 is due in about 8 weeks

10:22 pm

Pinikula

Nef, you gotta take it easy...get the kids to do more! :)

10:23 pm

stidmama

woo-hoo!!!! *Ready with camo brushes and camo paint* I know I put it around he4 somewhere....

10:24 pm

Pinikula

PS, Nef: I didn't really notice anything until you said something...so you're doing great!

10:24 pm

Nef

Pini, I did get lots of help; it's just eczema acting up after either the cleaning or the rubber gloves

10:24 pm

Pinikula

camo in CB2's room, but CB1 is getting blue and grey (superhero neutral colors)

10:24 pm

stidmama

I had a child the other day wearing camo. For some reason I hadn't realized he was next to me.... He surprised me. LOL I told him I hadn't seen him because he was too well camouflaged!

10:25 pm

Pinikula

oh my, nef!

10:25 pm

Nef

ANd that's such great news for the camo family!

10:25 pm

Pinikula

ROFL, nice one, stid! :)

10:25 pm

stidmama

oh, sorry about your fingers, nef -- I keep saying you work too hard!

10:25 pm

Nef

cute, stid! (not one of your students, I hope?)

10:27 pm

stidmama

yes, one of my darling set!

10:28 pm

stidmama

they are wonderful kiddos... we have class pictures next week. I shall have to get my hair "done" before then. So much gray showing these days that I will totally throw off the light balance!

10:28 pm

Nef

It's funny, I was using the rubber cleaning gloves, too. But I never had trouble with my hands while working (but I wore either latex or nitrile gloves there

10:28 pm

Nef

LOL, stid! :-D

10:30 pm

Nef

I remember when you were worried about teaching younger kids, stid. You sound very happy with this age of kids now

10:34 pm

stidmama

I LOVE this age (knew I would, but was worried about the physicality of it). Some days I resort to my cane, haven't needed crutches at school this year (yet). I have a relatively easy-to-teach class, 23 all-day students, 1 part-day and 2 who are out of the room most of the day. It is tricky to teach that many students and reach them all, but I am improving. This week their behavior is below-par, but I think it is a response to the stress of this testing, the very bizzare (stormy) weather and the upcoming spring break.

10:35 pm

stidmama

We'll be fine as soon as the kids return from break in April. We have three half-days to end next week and then a lovely week-long breather.

10:35 pm

Pinikula

Sounds like you're on your way, Stid...so happy for you! :)

10:35 pm

mcurlschool

we lover her!

10:35 pm

Nef

It's crazy to put this test right at spring break.

10:36 pm

stidmama

for NBT the E on the bottom row please? I am up to 64 and SO ready to go to sleep...

10:36 pm

stidmama

thanks pini -- feels like a logn

10:36 pm

stidmama

thanks pini -- feels like a logn

10:36 pm

stidmama

MCURL!!!!! you sneaky you!!! ****hugs and hugs****

10:36 pm

Nef

:-)

10:36 pm

mcurlschool

back at ya stid

10:37 pm

stidmama

I didn't get to harass you today, I am so frantically trying to pull things together each day for the kiddos. You look fabulous though in the new hairdo (forgot to tell you already).

10:37 pm

Pinikula

hey mcurl! :)

10:37 pm

mcurlschool

hey pini

10:37 pm

Nef

ep7/36.

10:37 pm

stidmama

okay, thanks nef *thinking*

10:38 pm

Nef

(let me know if you need a hint

10:38 pm

mcurlschool

I find not seeing you at least once in my day makes it kind of long! the hair do is my normal

10:39 pm

stidmama

hm.... I think I DO need a hint... and you probably just colored it or something. It looked different to me the last couple days (mostly from a distance).

10:40 pm

mcurlschool

yep, colored and cut. It's the length I really love

10:40 pm

stidmama

:-) It's a great look for you.

10:41 pm

mcurlschool

thanks

10:43 pm

Nef

it can be used as a form of contempt; it's like a characteristic of a person used in place of the actual name

10:45 pm

Nef

ep + pronoun + to r**c* is like the dry heaves (sorry, my nursing background

10:45 pm

Nef

10:47 pm

Nef

(the pronoun isn't personal)

10:47 pm

Pinikula

...and here I was thinking it was that phrase one might use to describe a past loved one...

10:48 pm

Nef

That's what I thought too, Pini; but after looking it up that isn't what it is

10:49 pm

Pinikula

Yeah, I looked it up and found out I was way off...but it "sounded" good! :)

10:50 pm

stidmama

*thinking and monkeying*

10:50 pm

stidmama

oh! cuss word!

10:51 pm

stidmama

LOL

10:51 pm

stidmama

shoulda just said so, kept monkeying in the wrong direction...

10:51 pm

Pinikula

*giggel*

10:52 pm

Pinikula

* giggle

10:53 pm

Pinikula

gads - now I can't type either!

10:53 pm

Nef

Well Pini, I just went to another dictionary, and the word you & I were thinking of is epitaph not this word!

10:54 pm

stidmama

well, a nice even 66.... NBT and NBS. I think I should tell you how happy it makes me to find you all here and well. Pini, I won't make it down your way until summer.... but hope we can connect at some point again. I will be going through at least once or twice to see my grandfather and go to some plays.

10:54 pm

Pinikula

I know...it's just when you try and say either one, they sound pretty close, but definitely aren't

10:55 pm

Pinikula

Oh, I so look forward to it, stid...and I will be sure to let you know if I'm able to make it up your way again... ;)

10:55 pm

stidmama

Nef, once the condo sells I hope you get a little breathing room. And maybe, someday... I have a decent house now, although no dedicated guest room there is more than enough space! In the kitchen alone...

10:55 pm

stidmama

Yes please, pini -- you will love the new house.

10:56 pm

Pinikula

*smile*

10:56 pm

stidmama

speaking of which... mcurl -- you haven't seen the house yet! LOL and you are almost next door!

10:56 pm

stidmama

(comparatively speaking...)

10:57 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams all - happy babbling! *poof*

10:58 pm

Nef

LOL! Once this darn condo is sold, I'm going to do some traveling (but I can't tell DH about it until we drive to the airport! He has gotten sick the last 4 vacations we've planned; so I'm going to try not telling him until the last minute

10:58 pm

Nef

Niters, stid! Good luck with this testing stuff!

10:58 pm

stidmama

good plan, nef! *repoof*

11:01 pm

Nef

11:16 pm

Nef

Oh My. THat's weird since I thought I read it in my word list already!

11:17 pm

Nef

(Must be tired or somethinig

11:17 pm

Pinikula

it's really weird...it means "wampum" (noun)

11:19 pm

Pinikula

ohhhhhhh....cylindrical beads made from shells...used by north american indians as a medium of exchange

11:19 pm

Nef

NE US even! :-D

11:19 pm

Pinikula

I've heard that word in that context, but never the pe4 word!!!

11:20 pm

Pinikula

learn something new everyday! :)

11:21 pm

Nef

same here, Pini. THis is such an great educational game (and people who play a lot are very smart, too!) ;-)

11:22 pm

Nef

BRB.

11:22 pm

Pinikula

we're either smart or some of us have some really lucky monkey friends!

11:25 pm

Nef

LOL! I think I fall into the latter groupthen. :-)

11:26 pm

Pinikula

I know I do!! LOL

11:28 pm

Pinikula

btw: how are you comin' along with the grid?

11:28 pm

Nef

Okay, I'm trying to figure out why pitter isn't a word.

11:29 pm

Nef

25 left, Pini. You don't really have to hang out if you don't want to just for my sake.

11:30 pm

Pinikula

Oh, no worries here, Nef...I'm here for ya (wathing American Idol in the background)

11:30 pm

Pinikula

(PS: finished the sudoku grid, too)

11:30 pm

Nef

I'm enjoying the company (forst good fun I've had all week!); but I don't want to keep you from your sudoku

11:31 pm

Pinikula

beat ya to the punch!

11:31 pm

Nef

You just can type faster than I can tonight! ;-)

11:32 pm

Pinikula

I'm not worrying about the finishing the grid (except to help you out) and my fingers are damaged right now...

11:32 pm

Nef

so was it as easy as tor said?

11:32 pm

Nef

what have you done to your fingers?

11:33 pm

Pinikula

*are NOT damaged (my bad)...perhaps I need to slow my typing down!

11:33 pm

Pinikula

or hurry up my brain!

11:34 pm

Nef

LOL!

11:34 pm

Pinikula

as for the sudoku grid...it was OK...I had to make a few guesses and a couple of corrections, but it all worked out...I'm still working on trying to get one done per day ... ah, the challenge...

11:35 pm

Pinikula

*cracking whip* let's git 'er dun, girlfriend!!! don't get too distracted now! LOL

11:35 pm

Nef

11:36 pm

Pinikula

Yes, I'm here to help (if you want it)

11:36 pm

Nef

Or are you cracking that whip over my back?

11:36 pm

Pinikula

11:37 pm

Nef

DUH! I did congratulate you on your firewords, didn't I!

11:37 pm

Nef

Okay, I'll buckel down then

11:38 pm

Pinikula

ROFL ... I think you're trying to multi-task too much when you should be finishin' the grid...you're on the home stretch...finish up and then we can banter (don't want to be the weight that holds you back) :)

11:38 pm

Nef

okay. I'm buckled

11:39 pm
