3:26 am
sprite
lol rose! It is awesome that you sleep better nowadays, pugs... of course we miss you, but it is nice to think you are sleeping well :D
3:26 am
sprite
working, less tension in the house, standing up for yourself, having a good guy in your life... yeah, all reasons for better sleep :)
3:26 am
puglet
so how are you two?
3:27 am
sprite
I am up, lol. If I am good is not for me to say... doubt it though ;)
3:28 am
puglet
lol--I could never picture as anything but good, Sprite nor our Rose either
3:29 am
sprite
but kidding aside, I am doing very well, pugs. Mentally and emotionally I am strong. The body is giving some trouble, but I can manage.
3:29 am
puglet
is that due to the gym? So very glad for you though
3:29 am
grannyrose
omgosh, sprite what a hoot!!
3:30 am
sprite
funny, isn't it, rose :D I love that vid.
3:31 am
puglet
Rose, your letter seem to say you are pleased with the new doctor--things still going good for you
3:31 am
sprite
the gym is ok for me. I had a day of family constellations followed by a stressy and very busy day, so I got two days of overtaxing after one another. Must heal up and then I'll be fine.
3:31 am
grannyrose
it sure is, sprite. pugs i went into hospital for the day and had my infusion therapy. i feel so good. no pain, i feel the cold and i am sleeping like a log.
3:32 am
puglet
thats so wonderful Rose----so happy for you
3:32 am
sprite
our rose is finally getting some living done, in stead of surviving
3:33 am
grannyrose
sure is. as don said earlier. you're in luck, i have plans for you later...
3:33 am
puglet
Now its your turn Sprite--will have to do some extra praying that it be so for you
3:33 am
sprite
rose, is that X totally ornamental today?
3:34 am
grannyrose
*giggle*
3:34 am
puglet
you two have dinner plans or special events for Easter
3:35 am
grannyrose
*leaves it to sprite's imagination*
3:35 am
sprite
working on it, pugs. Wait, let me send you a quick email about that.
3:35 am
puglet
okay Sprite
3:36 am
grannyrose
i do. my bros and their families are getting together for lunch easter sunday. church is going to take up a lot of the easter break.
3:36 am
puglet
are you sure you really want to do that Rose--lol
3:37 am
puglet
are you going to a park for that Rose? sounds nice though
3:38 am

*tickles rose until she gives up the info on the X*
3:39 am

sounds good, rose. Lovely family lunch. I must ask the kids what they would like. Not much plans yet.
3:39 am

I, myself picture three "x-es" lol
3:39 am
sprite
xxx for pugs
3:40 am
puglet
you coloring eggs and hiding them this year, Sprite
3:41 am
sprite
if the kids still want that. We have this tradition of hiding eggs and one special treat, and the special treat is very well hidden and I write a cryptic clue poem for each to help them find it.
3:43 am
puglet
does this include Rob too-lol Yes I remember last year with your daughter's friend wanting to join you guys on the fun
3:44 am
sprite
oh yes, indeed :) Had forgotten about that. No, Rob leaves it to me and he doesn't want a special treat. But he enjoys the fun. Anyway, if the kids want me to, we will do it this year again. And if not, fine with us.
3:44 am
grannyrose
sorry girls. call of nature. pugs, i have booked a restaurant and will cancel if the weather looks bad.
3:44 am
puglet
I'm sure they will---
3:45 am
sprite
no need to say sorry, rose. If nature calls, we mere mortals must run to the nearest toilet...
3:46 am
grannyrose
dumb, dodo, dumb, dumb. i will cancel if the weather looks GOOD!!
3:46 am
puglet
no need to be sorry Rose---we got a touch of winter upon us right now :(
3:49 am
grannyrose
thus far the weather forecast is for rain right up to saturday. i am thinking the restaurant looks good.
3:50 am
grannyrose
BIG plus is that none of us will have cook or wash-up afterwards.
3:50 am
puglet
yesterday we had snow flurries and last night the temps dipped down into the teens--Old man winter just dont want to give up
3:51 am
sprite
brrrr pugs... let's hope it is his last hurray
3:51 am
puglet
so true Rose and thats nice for everyone(except the workers--lol)
3:51 am
sprite
rose, go to the restaurant. I mean, come on... good chairs. Good food. No cooking. No cleaning. And if the weather is awesome, ask them to open the doors and windows :D
3:52 am
grannyrose
hey, at the moment the workers are being paid double time and a 1/2 for working sunday.
3:52 am
sprite
the workers get paid for their trouble. So they should be happy too.
3:52 am
sprite
snap, rose :D
3:52 am
puglet
right on, on what Sprite says or if its nice a good old fashion walk, holding hands sounds nice
3:53 am
grannyrose
yeah, the restaurant is on the beach. sounds like a good thing with the kids with energy to spare.
3:54 am
sprite
oh absolutely. They can play and build sand castles and run through the shallow waves and all.
3:54 am
puglet
walking on the beach sounds really nice Rose--you are so lucky to have that to enjoy
3:54 am
sprite
and much easier on your body, rose. I would go for it. If the family appreciates your company, they can come to the restaurant :)
3:55 am
grannyrose
yeah, sounds good. i will email the bros tomorrow.
3:55 am
sprite
*hugs rose* Such a wise woman *sighs in admiration*
3:57 am
puglet
Now Sprite, what about you? How can we plan a nice romantic easter day for you--lol
3:57 am
grannyrose
and you pugs!! a nice romantic easter for you is called for i think>
3:58 am
sprite
I am good, darling, thanks. Easter is not something I really want to celebrate. I am ok just thinking of Jesus and his struggle and his death... feeling Him close to me and knowing He cares.
3:58 am
puglet
my guy is almost two thousands miles away--but we will talk and we are hoping in may for him to come here
3:59 am
grannyrose
at least a phone call pugs.
4:00 am
sprite
I am so glad, every time you talk about your guy it sounds good. He thinks the world of you, doesn't he, pugs. As he should :)
4:00 am
puglet
yes the phone is what it will be right now
4:01 am
grannyrose
pugs, how is your sis doing. are the new activities helping her?
4:01 am
puglet
but Sprite, you and Rob having a date day/night would be nice for you
4:02 am
sprite
true, pugs. Must see if the circumstances here will allow it.
4:02 am
puglet
Sister is doing pretty good right now and will write you on that place(which I am not too happy with) but I have went another route
4:02 am
sprite
oh, btw pugs, I sent you an email just now with some personal news :)
4:03 am
puglet
do you need me to read it now and answer right away?
4:03 am
sprite
no sweetie, no hurry. Whenever it suits you, the news will keep.
4:04 am
puglet
okay, will write as soon as I can to you both
4:05 am
sprite
it's all good, pugs. We know you are crazy busy.
4:06 am
puglet
I wish at times it wasent so for I miss being here with you all
4:07 am
sprite
we miss you too, darling. But it is all for a good cause. You being happier than back with W is such a pleasure to see.
4:08 am
puglet
true---I need the extra hours to purchase a new furance before next winter
4:08 am
grannyrose
pugs, love, we know how busy you are, sweetie. and the fact you are sleeping so well is such a blessing. an email to keep us in touch would be more than enough. just to let us know you are still breathing....lolol
4:09 am
sprite
that makes perfect sense. It is quite a job to keep it all going there by yourself. That you are managing is another proof of how strong and resilient you are.
4:09 am

Are there two mo8's? I have the one where the first part is an engine and the second part is not a women. If so, I need a clue for the other mo8, please?

4:11 am
grannyrose
then past tense it for the mo9
4:11 am
Marc Freeman
got it thanks
4:12 am
sprite
whenever you don't feel strong, think of us and what we keep telling you. And realise that you are taking care of a farm, a sister, a job, a household, a relationship and friendships. That takes a LOT of strength, darling.
4:12 am
Marc Freeman
What are the stats for the other 7, I have the to7, please?

*hugs rose and giggles*
4:14 am

I am so glad it does, pugs. But please realise that you are the one doing it all. The book helps, but you are the one reading it, and processing it, and putting it to good use. Take the credit you are due!
4:15 am
Marc Freeman
does the mo7 also start with the engine?
4:15 am

4:56 am

6:53 am
JBV
Hi Trif - I'm here too - but I'm in and out, watching French TV, coverage of the mass at Digne-les-Bains
6:53 am
JBV
if you need clues, let me know
6:56 am
crosshair
I hate "easy-peasy" grids. they tend to be demonic, babblet-filled time vampires that leave you with bloodied fingers:(
7:24 am

Howdy, JBV. My poor beloved choked on a couple of tylenol and ended up breathing in the coffee she was sipping to take the pills with. coffe all over they computer, the keyboard, all over her desk, and there I am trying to help her clear coffee out of her lungs and chasing down the ejected tylenol before the cats eat them.. whew!
7:25 am
crosshair
That's what I like--a nice relaxing Saturday morning:)
7:26 am
crosshair
Now I am trying to save the keyboard. Shook all the coffee out of it , and now I am taking the hair dryer to it:/
7:28 am
crosshair
My beloved gave up on the Tylenol, and the computer, and is now huddled up in her chair with a book, coughing out the last of her dark roast:(
7:35 am
JBV
hi crossy - sorry to hear about your misadventures with Tylenol and coffee - hope the missus is OK!
7:36 am
crosshair
She seems better now. At least she is able to speak without coughing:)
7:36 am
JBV
if you can laugh about it now, all is well
7:36 am
crosshair
I told her that we may have to crush her pills up in a teaspoon and add a bit of honey:)
7:37 am
JBV
some people say it's easier to swallow pills with food than with liquid
7:37 am
JBV
also caplets go down better than round pills
7:37 am
crosshair
I find using a straw with the liquid you are using to take the pill with can help
7:38 am
crosshair
I cannot take pills with hot liquid
7:38 am
crosshair
obv the missus cannot either:)
7:39 am
JBV
i'm pretty lucky (shouldn't say it, not to jinx it) but I don't take any medications at al
7:39 am
crosshair
too bad T3's do not come in caplets or gel-caps:(
7:39 am
JBV
haven't taken advil or tylenol for pain for - can't remember when
7:40 am

I am same. i get one to two headaches a year. They are so rare for me that it takes me a while to figure out what is wrong.
7:40 am
JBV
all-purpose diagnosis: too much Babble! : )
7:40 am
JBV
I read a lot, too, try to limit my time in front of the computer screen
7:41 am
crosshair
As time goes on both the mrs and I enjoy our books more and more.
7:42 am
JBV
but then I always did read a lot
7:43 am
JBV
i'm not attached to "devices" as many are - Babble is my only online game
7:43 am

As do the both of us. We have always averaged at least a book a week. Lately it has been two books a week
7:43 am

nice to have someone to share reading with

JBV
it's a plural, phae
7:45 am
crosshair
I have become a bit jaded about all our electronic devices and being hard wired into the planet. Getting rid of the cable tv was the best thing we ever did:) Now we cherry pick only movies that we like, or perhaps a nice documentary. Our total program viewing is about 6 hours a week now. means more time for books!!

Marc Freeman

8:33 am

mo6 ends with the last 4 letters of a word that starts with an and usually comes before "attack" meaning "stress attack"
8:33 am
Marc Freeman

8:36 am

I was just following the thread of the chat

I don't know nef.. what do you think it'd be worth?
10:47 am
Nef
a buck three eighty, ru
10:49 am
rururocks
well.. whatever I brought in.. i'd send to Lickety for him to take a nice vacation for all the help he gives everyone here
10:49 am
Nef
LOL! True; I've always been amazed he's done it all these years
10:50 am
rururocks
maybe wildcat can take up a collection again for the Aussies and rip off everyone again ?
10:50 am
Nef
LOL! Uhuh; (you have a LONG memory, ru!)
10:51 am
MollyL
I just had a flashback to the 1920's with "a buck three eighty"
: D
10:51 am
MollyL
I'd have a long memory too if she had stolen that much money from me
10:51 am
Nef
why the '20's, Molly?
10:51 am
rururocks
I have a very, very long memory nef
10:53 am
Nef
I donated to that too; but chalked it up to a lesson learned….
10:53 am
rururocks
oh I learned too. I can't believe how stupid I am sometimes
10:54 am
rururocks
<---trusting, kind, generous.... and dumb
10:55 am
MollyL
Trusting only equals stupid if you keep trusting an untrustworthy person. Or believing someone who lies all the time.
10:56 am
rururocks
hmmm. good way to look at that
10:56 am
Nef
well, thanks to that incident, whenever I've donated money online since then I've made sure that 2 people are involved in collecting $$; and they aren't related or even in the same location. I've had no further problem since then
10:57 am
MollyL
Um..there was more than one person involved in the collection here. And I think there is a lot more to that story than we will ever know.
10:57 am
rururocks
all I know is not much made its way to Mr. P
10:57 am
Nef
(I'm in a private group & we've collected $$ for spousal deaths, illnesses and a couple other things like that
10:58 am
rururocks
I will certainly never do something like that again..
10:59 am
MollyL
Paypal is the only safe way to send someone money via the internet. It goes directly to their Paypal account.
11:00 am
rururocks
too bad wildcat didn't go to payjail
11:03 am
MollyL
A very unfortunate incident. She was trusted to pass on money that was sent to her (in her name) and did not. Illegal, maybe not. Immoral, definitely.
11:05 am
rururocks
I'm sure that's why she signed up to accept the monies
11:10 am

"wildcat" attempted to friend my husband on fb not too long ago. I told him to reject and complain. She had no cause to do that. I trust once, but that's all.

People should be careful what they post on line about their financial situation. It can make them an easy target for someone who knows how to "cry poor" in a convincing way.
11:26 am

true.. good thing I let everyone know I'm on welfare

I'm wondering why only certain people are getting red bars lately. Aloy seems to get them all the time, but I think that is her computer.

Buttonman, if you mean the se5,10 it's one of those pesky monetary units - you can try monkeying it with: mailed + vowel
12:08 pm
MollyL
Didn't Ru already clue that one?
12:08 pm
rururocks
oh jwr.. don't complain about monetary units.. you're asking for it
12:09 pm

whaa? Did I insult the coin gods?
12:09 pm
MollyL
I'd guess jwr is safe. I doubt anyone is obsessed with her every comment.

no.. certain players feel that coin word complaints are off limits in the chat

12:14 pm
MollyL
Not really, why?
12:16 pm
jwr
There's a campaign afoot apparently to replace Old Hickory with the face of a deserving woman. A heated debate in some quarters though I don't know if it's being taken seriously by the Treasury Dept.
12:18 pm

oh, ruru it's embarrassing - you just happened to use a phrase that was staring at me from an email a moment before, in quite another context.
