Hi Matty. Hi all. I have one hy 5 - laughing animal

Hi and hugs sprite
2:44 am
sprite
hey Liz! What a lovely picture of you and rose! Love it.
2:44 am
Lizlin
:) will email you
2:44 am
Lizlin
Probably in a couple of days!
2:44 am
sprite
please do. I am so excited about the 4 of you meeting!
2:45 am
sprite
sure, whenever suits you, I will be here :D
2:45 am
Lizlin
How are you today?
2:46 am
sprite
not too bad. Bit of a bad day yesterday, since I forgot to take my morning meds and then was away for the whole day :( Stupid. But I slept well and feel better today.
2:46 am
sprite
how are you and your husband?
2:47 am
Lizlin
We're well thanks. Ally's very good.
2:47 am
sprite
that is great to hear.
2:47 am
Lizlin
Sad that your day wasn't so good yesterday.
2:47 am
Lizlin
Auto correct strikes again!
2:48 am
sprite
yeah well, only got myself to blame.
2:48 am
sprite
lol yeah, the magic of the autocorrect
2:49 am
Lizlin
Lol! Ally is my friends son!
2:50 am
sprite
that is why the autocorrect has her name memorized as priority, no doubt, lol
2:51 am
Lizlin
Bobs just remembered I need to email my nephew. Doing finals at uni so need to wish him good luck - not that he needs it.
2:52 am
sprite
of course he does. We all need good luck at final's time!
2:57 am
sprite
wb! Say hi to Bob and Ally from me, lololol
2:58 am
Lizlin
I noticed that. Hope it had slipped by unnoticed!
2:58 am
sprite
*giggles* I was laughing here, strike another one for the autocorrect.
2:59 am
Lizlin
Yeah! Me too. Lots of laughter today ;)
2:59 am
sprite
good days, that start or end in laughter
3:03 am
Lizlin
No argument from me on that.
3:04 am
sprite
a fast halfway today
3:05 am
Lizlin
Meant to tell you- enjoying the 5th Nick book more.
3:06 am
sprite
oh wow! I might give them a try after the Rina series. Am at book 18. The one with the blind interpreter.
3:06 am
Lizlin
Yes but now I've slowed right down. Missing 1 x 7 :( the others were easy.
3:06 am
sprite
wow good job! I have only one 7 so far. As usual, lol.
3:10 am
Lizlin
I liked that one with the blind interpreter. Mind you, I like them all. I also like Jonathan's books - have one lined up to read next - The Golem of Hollywood.
3:10 am
Lizlin
Am also re reading the Rina series.
3:10 am
sprite
yeah he is a great writer as well. I love both their books.

hello my dear rose! You are so beautiful! Loved the picture of you and Liz.
3:15 am
grannyrose
hi ya liz. what have you been up to? how are you both?
3:16 am
Lizlin
We're really well. Great day. Met very good friends for lunch - that went much too fast, then walked and now babble? And you?
3:16 am
Lizlin
Lol sprite!
3:16 am
sprite
'tis the truth!
3:17 am
grannyrose
what a coincidence. i had lunch with some very good friends too. i had the loveliest time.
3:17 am
sprite
nothing like a lunch with such good friends.
3:17 am
Lizlin
Lunch, hugs and laughter. What more could you want?
3:18 am
grannyrose
too true sprite. liz, what a pity we couldn't have been all together..... lol
3:18 am
sprite
not much, that's for sure. And it gives memories that will last for years.
3:18 am
Lizlin
Except an easier grid. Brick wall here - far too many left.
3:18 am
grannyrose
oh we had a few tears too.
3:19 am
sprite
one day, we might. Time for the Big Guy to send us a shipload of dimes...
3:19 am
Lizlin
Them too - but happy ones of course.
3:19 am
sprite
I hear ya, Liz. One of those odd grids where you simply run out of words to try.
3:20 am
Lizlin
That would be soo amazing.
3:21 am
sprite
tears are good. Some things are too beautiful to experience without tears.
3:21 am
Lizlin
And that was deliberate soo
3:21 am
sprite
yeah I thought it was, grin
3:27 am
sprite
mushroom soup with bread and greek meatballs... how does that sound?
3:27 am
grannyrose
so sprite, are you on your own yet? and how was your lunch out with your friend?
3:28 am
grannyrose
oh nice sprite.
3:29 am
sprite
Rob and Caya will leave tomorrow morning. They will be back a week later. Tim and I are home together that week.
And the day at my friend's was lovely, I only ruined a bit of the fun by forgetting to take my morning meds. It was a bit of a struggle. But great company and we had a lot of fun together.
3:29 am
sprite
thanks girls. Then that's what I am gonna cook today.
3:30 am
Lizlin
On the next flight!
3:30 am

3:35 am
grannyrose

3:35 am

Sprite, do you have that hy 7? If so, can you or rose clue it pls.
3:36 am
sprite
first 4 of the laughing carrion eater, Liz, and end with the robot ending
3:36 am
Lizlin
And that was my cue to find it!
3:37 am
sprite
asking is finding... lol I always wonder what that says about the way our minds work.
3:38 am
Lizlin
Doing a peri, in other words!
3:40 am

Just sent you both a photo
3:41 am

hi, all one of our elder cats is having a biopsy today. Hoping for no malignancy. She had surgery nearly 3 years ago for mammary cancer and now has another area that needs to be checked.
4:54 am
grannyrose
hi angel. would you like prayer for puss, or if not that some healing vibes?
4:55 am
Angelsong
prayer is most welcome.
4:56 am
grannyrose
np's. what is puss's name?
4:57 am
Angelsong
her name is Duchess. She will be 13 in mid-September, along with her sister, Darla.
4:58 am
grannyrose
okay, dear. consider the prayer said. xoxox
4:59 am
Angelsong
thank you most kindly.
5:02 am
Angelsong
these cats are our babies.
5:02 am
grannyrose
angel would you be so kind to email me and let me know the result, please?
5:03 am
Angelsong
sure, grannyrose
5:05 am
grannyrose
thank-you dear. i know how it feels when one of our pets become unwell or have the health threatened. my heart also goes out to you and yours too.
5:07 am
Angelsong
when we adopted our four girls, Duchess, Darla, DeeDee and Dixi, we did so for their lifetimes, not just if it is convenient.
5:09 am
Angelsong
they go to the vet regularly, too, and they are indoors only.
5:10 am
grannyrose
i bet they are gorgeous. are they a particular breed?
5:11 am
Angelsong
all four of them are American shorthairs, and all four are black. I have to check their collars to tell them apart.
5:12 am
Angelsong
my neighbor says they look "like movie cats"...
5:13 am
grannyrose
lol.... talk about making it hard for yourself. we had two tortoiseshell, a black tonkinese with blue eyes, and a grey and white moggy who was the boss of them all.
5:14 am
mattygroves
I hope your cat is ok and the biopsy comes up clear.
5:15 am
grannyrose
hello dear matty
5:15 am
mattygroves
I have one word left - qu5 - can you guys give me a hint?
5:15 am
Angelsong
I'm not sure which of these girls is Alpha....but Darla was the smallest of the litter. She is hard-wired to eat. She steals my spinach if I don't watch her.
5:15 am
grannyrose
stand in line, matty
5:15 am
mattygroves
Oh dear god, I feel stupid
5:16 am

I tried quemp. Quems. Quend. And various other nonsense words
5:16 am

Good morning kids.

Well, I have to get going. Also have to go apply for my new health card again since the last one was lost in the mail.
6:06 am
Scrabbler
Phew, I greyed out the Q.
6:14 am
crosshair
Ugh. I must also get a new heath card for both myself and my son:/ at least they are totally free now and can be had at any licencing office. No more driving to the city to get one:)
6:14 am
Scrabbler
Hi Crossy
6:15 am
crosshair
Howdy, scrabby:)
6:16 am
Scrabbler
Usually I have Fridays off but I am working all day today.
6:17 am
crosshair
I remember the horrors of the old O.H.I.P syste, those little brown cards that cost on average 300 a month plus and hug my new universal heath care card whenever I renew it:)
6:17 am
crosshair
Filling in for another doc, scrabby?
6:18 am
Scrabbler
I wish the US could develop an effective, affordable health care system, but health care and the government are out of control and beyond repair, I am afraid.
6:18 am
Scrabbler
Yes, some people are off so me and another doc will man the office all day.
6:19 am
crosshair
Well, ours is not perfect by any means; we just all pay at tax time, each and every one of use. no matter if we use it in a given year or not. It works out, since we all need health care. it should not be optional like insuring your house against a flood
6:19 am
tuco
add the insurance agencies in that mix Scrabbler and their lobby
6:19 am
tuco
agreed crosshair!!!
6:20 am
crosshair
Insurance companies are dangerous enough with insuring our cars!!
6:20 am
Scrabbler
Yes, tuco, the insurance companies now are the bosses in health care. Doc's choices are dictated by the insurance companies--meds, tests, etc.
6:20 am
tuco
I think the U.S. is the only country in the world where the #1 cause of personal bankruptcy is getting sick.
6:20 am
crosshair
everyone from the poorest hobo who has been on the street for ten years right up the our wealthiest billionare is entitled to the very same health care card
6:22 am
Scrabbler
At 77/77 I must get ready for the work day. Bye kids. Enjoy the day!
6:22 am
tuco
hehe Don't get me started. I know the U.S. health care system too well. As a patient. Yes I have had some great care but I had to travel to a larger city and wait for it.
6:23 am
crosshair
Take care, scrabby
6:23 am
crosshair
Our best hospitals are also in the city(Toronto), tuco
6:24 am
crosshair
2.5 hour drive south for me:(
6:24 am
tuco
one of the propaganda points used here is to tell people that we have better health care than anywhere else in the world. They point to waiting lines etc. I know that is all bull crap
6:25 am
tuco
If you have enough money here the waiting lines disappear and you probably own a home or can afford to stay in luxury in a large city.
6:26 am
crosshair
You CAN have better health care than anywhere in the world.. you just have to pay for it up fron each and every time. We just pay through the nose at tax time. that way everyone is covered, even if they have nop job, because, in the end, dead people do not pay taxes;)
6:27 am
tuco
Amen! It is a sorry state of affairs here. We have lost the whole idea of The Commons. Hopefully Bernie Sanders can remind people how we used to work together as a people instead of blaming the poor and disadvantaged.
6:27 am
crosshair
Like you say, the line disapears for some. We get that was well, but to a lesser extent. Siome get addition insurance like Blue cross etc, and suppliment the normal care that the card provides
6:29 am
tuco
Which is fair. I like Germany's model. The insurance companies have to provide a level of service and are highly regulated. They compete by holding down their costs and salaries not by cutting care.
6:29 am
crosshair
Once the powers that be get it into their head that EVERYONE needs health care and gets rid of the "why should I pay for him with my taxes" attitude, things will progress
6:29 am
tuco
well there are "some" in this country that believe that health care is not a right but a commodity.
6:30 am
crosshair
Once again I come back to my point that dead people pay very little tax:)
6:31 am
tuco
yep. instead they profit off the sick. Yes it is expensive to become a doctor but whose taxes paid for the educational system they were trained in?
6:31 am
crosshair
I am sure scrabby and her colleagues are very tired of doing the insurance company dance every-time they need to bill a patient
6:32 am
tuco
haha. They should speak up and stand with the people. But they are getting paid and dont want to rock the boat. Not speaking specifically about scrabby here of course.
6:33 am
crosshair
it must be very difficult for the doctors
6:33 am

well enough of me venting. After all I am a member of the IWW and my views are not shared by the majority of my fellow citizens.

6:34 am
crosshair
it is easy to say tow the line and change nothing when you can afford the insurance premiums.
6:36 am
tuco
Or when you believe the propaganda that it is all the fault of the poor. While the CEOs of the insurance companies are richer than God and the Governor of Florida was the CEO of the health care company that paid the highest medicade fraud fine of all time.
6:37 am
tuco
see I told you. dont get me started. :-)
6:38 am
tuco
I am not happy with our President since he refused to say Genocide last week, but thank God for him and Nancy Pelosi. At least the Affordable Care Act is a start.
6:39 am

Blaming the poor is "Why should I pay for him with my taxes" all over again. Why not just grind up anyone who makes less that 25k/year and turn them into a food suppliment? lol

Soylent Green is people!!!!!!
6:40 am

He has started you on the road to real health care. The AVA is basically a rough version of what our old O.H.I.P system once was
6:40 am
tuco
Then they wouldn't have anyone to blame. Oh wait. They would just raise the limit to 50K/year
6:41 am

The they would soon. off anyone over 40 and ease the healthcare burden even more:)

Trif...is a quick puppy play date OK today? Anybody home?
7:30 am
car.eeyore
Oh, Molly! Don't get me started! LOL!
7:30 am
Trifioso
no one should be home, for the love of god, tell me if someone is!
7:31 am
Trifioso
and yes, puppy play dates are ALWAYS welcome!
7:31 am
MollyL
Party at Trif's house!!!
7:31 am
car.eeyore
Well if someone is home, I feel awkward
7:31 am
Trifioso
that's not as funny as you think, molly
7:31 am
car.eeyore
No time for a party...Avengers this morning!
7:31 am
Trifioso
if by someone you mean valentine, hes in Braintree, as he should be
7:32 am
MollyL
Yes Trif, is she still on probation?
7:32 am
Trifioso
no, but if car catches her home when she should be at school, I'm breaking out the irons
7:33 am
car.eeyore
She will have to deal with me first. I told some of the Scouts last night to keep an eye on her at prom.
7:33 am
car.eeyore
I said if there is a problem to call me and then you.
7:33 am
Trifioso
the good thing about car is that she is every bit as much of a mother to my girls as I am, and they take her corrections just as if they came from me.
7:33 am
MollyL
Dear God, you would think The Wrath Of The Sisters would keep her in line.
7:33 am
Trifioso
case in point, thank you car....
7:33 am
car.eeyore
You would think...
7:33 am
Trifioso
you would think that molly, but tertiare is a FIERCE one.
7:34 am
car.eeyore
The force is strong in that one...
7:34 am
Trifioso
mind you - secondo is more than enjoying her time at school, apparently - she sent me a photo of herself participating in the "Naked Mile Run", an annual UVM tradition
7:34 am
MollyL
Trif, I think you should start running the track at her school in your green sneakers again.
7:34 am
car.eeyore
But...I have done most of what she is pulling and more, so....she can't get much by me.
7:35 am
car.eeyore
tee hee...I will get pink ones and we can walk together....
7:36 am
Trifioso
I cant win at that one. I had to pick her up the other day, but didn't have time to go all the way home first. Figured I would drive to the school early, wait in the parking lot, and get some work done. So much for sneaking - drive in JUST as tertiare was running out the drive, leading the track team. She was all, "mom?"
7:37 am
car.eeyore
I need stats for the i in the fourth column please?
7:37 am

HarryHood
got it! ty car :) nbt
7:45 am
Buggie
you should see the french translation of that. When Steven comes out, in french it got changed to "I'm ill" rather than "I'm gay"
7:45 am
HarryHood
got that too trif! ty!
7:46 am
Trifioso
oh dear buggie - really?
7:46 am
car.eeyore
Oh my god! No?!??!?!
7:46 am
Trifioso
I saw the lion king in French with two of my kids, back in the day - that was a trip.
7:46 am
Buggie
and his adorable sister who's the only one who will say the words "Steven's gay" becomes this bitch who turns on him and says "Steven's ill"
7:47 am
Trifioso
how does that even work, buggie? "Dad, I'm ill, and the only cure is to sleep with men!" Like the FRENCH couldn't figure that one out?
7:47 am
Buggie
At the time it was completely taboo in France
7:47 am
Trifioso
and that may be the ONLY time someone has referred to Fallon as "adorable"
7:47 am

I like that your kindle will have to be pried from your cold, dead hands, Hego. I have totally worn out my original first gen nook reader, and now have a 2 year old nook HD. So much nicer having the touch screen instead of all those page turn buttons that wear out.
9:23 am

Mine is still going strong.
9:24 am

I also have my asus transformer tablet but it is a tad heavy for long reading sessions
