3:11 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Sprite :-)

3:12 am

sprite

hey zooz :) How have you been?

3:12 am

zoozzoom

I am okay thank you. getting ready for the anniversary of my brother's passing.

3:13 am

zoozzoom

How are you? did yu have a nice time away?

3:13 am

zoozzoom

And how is our dear, Rose getting on? Anymore news on that front?

3:13 am

sprite

a year again already... always a sad time, especially the first time. *hugs*

3:13 am

Lizlin

Hi all and hugs and thanks for the email just now sprite

3:14 am

Lizlin

Hugs from me too zooz

3:14 am

sprite

I had a lovely vacation. Good company and lovely weather for the most part, and Rob and I very much enjoyed being away together for a while :)

3:14 am

zoozzoom

Ah yes thanks yes just seen your email too, Sprite.

3:14 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Liz :-)

3:15 am

sprite

I forwarded Don's last email to you, zooz. Rose is feeling better but they still don't know why her bloodcount is off.

3:15 am

sprite

oh ok, lol. Sorry, you read that already.

3:15 am

zoozzoom

I take it your siblings did not have any parties in the house while you were away then..lol

3:16 am

Lizlin

Nor her kids!

3:16 am

zoozzoom

Hope you are well, Liz?

3:16 am

sprite

welllllll yes they did. But all within limits. The house is still standing, the neighbours are still friendly and everything is clean :D

3:16 am

Lizlin

Alls fine here, thanks.

3:16 am

zoozzoom

Her children yes sorry that is what i meant..lol

3:16 am

sprite

*giggles* Yeah I was certain zooz meant my kids.

3:17 am

Lizlin

So happy you and Rob had some quality time but I've missed you here.

3:18 am

zoozzoom

Well that is good that you let them do that.and even better to find that they respected the place and yourselves to keep the home tidy!

3:18 am

Lizlin

Zooz - I've added some Cornish puzzles on jigidi.

3:19 am

Lizlin

Pol dark scenery and Tintagel.

3:19 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* I missed you guys too.

3:19 am

zoozzoom

Cool thank you, Liz, I will check them out later! Thank you :-)

3:19 am

sprite

sounds good Liz, will check them out

3:20 am

Lizlin

They're not large Sprite but can make them larger if you'd like.

3:20 am

sprite

I can make a smaller one once in a while too, Liz, grin. Not a problem!

3:21 am

Lizlin

I know that - I was stymied by the daily limit!

3:21 am

Lizlin

I just haven't got around to making them larger yet.

3:22 am

sprite

yeah, if you want to make several sizes, that limit is reached very quickly

3:22 am

zoozzoom

Larger! they are nearly 300 pieces!!

3:22 am

Lizlin

Most that I do are around 450.

3:23 am

sprite

oh, that is fine then, Liz.
Zooz, I normally only go for the 400+ ones.

3:23 am

Lizlin

Except when I use my iPad then I only do puzzles around 120 or less. Too awkward otherwise.

3:24 am

sprite

yeah a lot depends on your screen resolution. Mine is huge, so it is easy for me to work big ones. You want to have an overview of puzzle and pieces at all times.

3:25 am

Lizlin

I'll make the Amsterdam ones large first but the clogs wouldn't go larger.

3:25 am

zoozzoom

With my laptop screen being about 19" I find the larger puzzles hard as I have to keep making it smaller to fit the edges in.It becomes to small for me to see the puzzles pieces then..lol

3:26 am

zoozzoom

Why do some puzzles not go large?

3:26 am

sprite

yeah that is what I mean, zooz, that is not pleasant. My screen is 24"

3:26 am

sprite

jigidi is programmed to take in account the resolution of the picture and the ratio.

3:27 am

zoozzoom

Ah well that does make sense.

3:27 am

sprite

the biggest puzzles are high res and a 4:5 ratio.

3:28 am

sprite

*giggles* Can you tell I spent time figuring out how to make them big?

3:29 am

zoozzoom

I did attempt a 500 piece puzzle (approx) that was of chopped logs. i got all the edges done and a bit more.But after the times was about three hours i could see i was going to be there way too long and i was starting to not enjoy the puzzle so I gave that one up..lol

3:30 am

zoozzoom

Well glad you did, Sprite.Saved me doing it for a start :-)

3:30 am

sprite

it is good to give up if you are not longer enjoying yourself. I am a sucker for punishment, I think. One of my favorites was the coins one... huge and it took me ages. But FUN!

3:31 am

zoozzoom

Some time, Sprite not today but when you have time.Find a link for me so I could take a look :-)

3:33 am

Lizlin

OK - just put up 4 larger puzzles.

3:34 am

Lizlin

One was not there previously - my mistake. Couldn't find the folder, where I'd put the Jigidi pics!

3:34 am

sprite

the money one is this one, zooz:
http://tinyurl.com/n4e7arv

3:34 am

zoozzoom

wow 494 .

3:35 am

Lizlin

We have a really challenging 1000 piece one on our dining room table right now - wolves - but all in shades of blues, purples and pinks.

3:35 am

zoozzoom

EEEk! I can see what you mean by a glutton for punishment, Sprite..lol

3:35 am

sprite

awesome, Liz, I am gonna work the big ones :)

3:35 am

sprite

ohhhh Liz I wanna come over and help!

3:35 am

zoozzoom

It is UK money too I see :-)

3:36 am

zoozzoom

Sounds like a nice puzzle, Liz.I bet crossy would like that one too.Being the subject of wolves :-)

3:36 am

sprite

lol zooz, I know... took me over 6 hours, that one. But not in one sitting. It fascinates me to see how my brain works... and does NOT work... the things you start focusing on when details are not obvious.

3:38 am

Lizlin

http://tinyurl.com/k6raq4h You can see the puzzle here.

3:39 am

sprite

omg I love it!

3:39 am

zoozzoom

Looks wonderful!

3:39 am

Lizlin

Yes, Zooz - I reckon Crossy would love it. It's so difficult though!

3:41 am

sprite

just the kind I love. A little bit mystical, tough and rewarding. And wolves :D

3:42 am

zoozzoom

The ar (bum word) should be allowed to be PT as in "I can't be AR____ to do this anymore" :-)

3:42 am

sprite

yeah I agree. Guess enable didn't catch up with nowadays lingo yet

3:43 am

Lizlin

I love the picture - so does hubby.

3:43 am

Lizlin

Brick wall hit - 50 left.

3:45 am

*smug* greyed out entire top row

3:45 am

Lizlin

WTG Sprite

3:46 am

sprite

*giggles* yay me

3:47 am

zoozzoom

Not my sister I see regular but a different one well her husband shouted upto her the other night as he was watching a late film..That he thinks he is having a heart attack.she shouted back down don,t be stupid and take a tablet for heartburn. A little later he had phoned an ambulance and he let them in and collapsed on the floor.they had to revive him.He is now in hospital!

3:48 am

sprite

omg zooz... oh she must feel horrible about herself. How is he doing now?

3:48 am

Lizlin

Wow! Thank goodness he phoned the ambulance.

3:48 am

zoozzoom

To say my sister is very ashamed of her self is an understatment!

3:49 am

Lizlin

Hope he makes a good recovery.

3:49 am

Lizlin

Yes - bad call!

3:49 am

zoozzoom

He is stable and they might have to do something like open an artery up like a stent I am not too sure.

3:50 am

sprite

ah good he is stable, that is reassuring at least. Oh your poor sister. Is he mad at her?

3:51 am

zoozzoom

He has not spoken since, Sprite so I have been told.

3:51 am

sprite

not at all, or not to her?

3:51 am

zoozzoom

Not at all as far as I am aware.

3:52 am

zoozzoom

Oh he would not be mad at her like that.He is not the type to not speak to her.

3:52 am

sprite

I hope he can forgive her. I'd be mad as hell in his place, lol.

3:53 am

Lizlin

That's good cos I'm sure the extra stress that'd cause wouldn't be good for him.

3:53 am

zoozzoom

No I think he is not like that to be honest.he is such a gentle person. But who knows after a stroke.i have heard people can change.

3:54 am

sprite

I hope she will apologise wholeheartedly to him as soon as he can hear her. That should help.

3:54 am

zoozzoom

Not a stroke sorry.She said heart attack.

3:55 am

zoozzoom

I will find out more today when I visit my parents soo.Will let you know next time on babbleland :-)

3:56 am

zoozzoom

soon*

3:56 am

sprite

ok zooz! Will hold both of them in my prayers.

3:56 am

Lizlin

Well like I said, hope he makes a good and speedy recovery.

3:57 am

zoozzoom

Yes thank you both for the kind words.

3:57 am

sprite

*hugs zooz*

3:57 am

zoozzoom

Oh I am ok :-)

3:58 am

zoozzoom

I can be rather cold at times like this when it does not affect the very close family.i do not mean to be cold and hard it is just how i am.

3:58 am

Lizlin

Still, hugs never hurt :)

3:58 am

sprite

you are not cold at all, zooz. I think it is a good thing to be able to differentiate between real close ones and the more distant relatives.

3:59 am

zoozzoom

I love hugs so all will be greatfully taken :-)

3:59 am

Angelsong

hi, all. does anyone have grannyrose's email address?

4:00 am

sprite

yes I do, angel

4:00 am

zoozzoom

Yes I see it that way too, Sprite. But what pushes me more that way is when it is self inflicted as in heavy smoker lots and lots of booze and fatty takeaway meals.Not a great combo.And told by his doctor on many occasions to change his health style.

4:01 am

Lizlin

BBL - almost dinner time. Hugs and happy to have caught up with you both.

4:01 am

Angelsong

sprite, she asked me to e mail her about my cat. I've been missing her here for a while.

4:01 am

zoozzoom

Have a wonderful evening, Liz :-)

4:02 am

sprite

things are often more complex than that, in my opinion. Underneath such a life style often hides some trauma or problem. Like low self esteem or high sensitivity and trouble with boundaries.

4:03 am

sprite

Angel, she is in the hospital at the moment. Maybe it would be best to wait until she is back home?

4:03 am

sprite

Liz, have a grand evening! *hugs* for you both

4:03 am

Angelsong

yes, sprite. I did not know she is ill.

4:05 am

sprite

it was rather sudden, Angel. She felt off, sounded like a virus. Doctor ordered bloodwork and when it came back, some markers that indicate inflammation or infection were through the roof. She was admitted to the hospital overnight. She is feeling a little better, but they still don't know what is wrong.

4:06 am

Angelsong

my goodness!

4:06 am

sprite

yeah, we are worried too :(

4:10 am

zoozzoom

I was not ignoring you, Sprite.Just letting the other convo develop.I agree with what you say. I do nt know what has gone on in his life years ago or even now really.But I have known him for a few decades and has always been the same.I may have formed an ill judged opinion of him.

4:10 am

zoozzoom

I wonder how, Don, is handling all of this, Sprite too?

4:14 am

sprite

I didn't feel ignored at all, zooz :)
Yeah you know, I am overweight, very much so. And I know it has never been a lack of willpower. It is a complicated mechanism that has caused it and for me, losing weight is a process that is taking many years... therapy, learning to set boundaries, speaking up for myself, medication, food allergies to figure out... etc etc etc. So that is why I am not quick to judge.

4:15 am

sprite

I don't know, zooz. Just emailed him and gave him an opening to vent, in case he wants to.

4:15 am

zoozzoom

Oh good lets him know that there is an outlet if he needs it!

4:19 am

zoozzoom

On the not quick to judge part.i have known him for just a tad over thirty years so I feel I was not quick to judge him.

4:19 am

zoozzoom

Still might of got it wrong though :-)

4:19 am

sprite

yeah, that was what I thought too. He may not want to, and that is perfectly ok. But in case he can use a listening ear, mine is available, grin

4:19 am

zoozzoom

lol

4:21 am

zoozzoom

I should think he is spending a lot of time at the hospital to think of anything else.

4:21 am

sprite

oh, I wasn't saying you were quick to judge, zooz! I think you are a beautiful man with a loving heart. I just meant that my own experiences make me look for underlying problems. But if in 30 years he has never TRIED to change things... that would make me a little judgemental too, lol

4:24 am

zoozzoom

I know you wasn't, Sprite.As you said YOU were not quick to judge :-) I just wanted to say I have watched on and off for that amount of time but i still do not know what has happened in his life to want to live so un healthily.

4:25 am

zoozzoom

Although it looks like he is paying the price for it now. I do hope he pulls through okay.And asks for help if needed.

4:25 am

sprite

sometimes it takes a very rough waking-up call for someone to start changing things around. This might be his.

4:27 am

sprite

fireflies. Quite an enjoyable grid!

4:27 am

zoozzoom

I hope so, Sprite..not nice for all the other people around him if he does not grab his chance let alone for himself.

4:27 am

zoozzoom

Congrats, Sprite!

4:28 am

sprite

very true. I hope he will find the courage to change things around. I'll certainly pray for him :)
Zooz, it was lovely to catch up with you. Have a great day, and I hope to see you tomorrow.

4:28 am

zoozzoom

I still need 81 words!

4:28 am

sprite

and to you all, a peaceful night and a blessed day.

4:29 am

Angelsong

this grid clearly has not decided which way it is going...debate is between **** to the orient, or **** to North America...lol

4:29 am

zoozzoom

Have a wonderful day, Sprite.Sorry for all the glum talk.

4:29 am

sprite

I hit a brick wall about halfway, zooz. Took me a while to find the other letter combinations, lol. Like gn and ts and such.

4:29 am

sprite

lol Angel

4:30 am

sprite

not at all, zooz. I value your sharing stuff with us. Very much. *hugs*

4:30 am

zoozzoom

4:49 am

Angelsong

Lizlin

Thinking how to clue it.

6:44 am

Alleyn58

candid - doesn't work!!

6:44 am

Alleyn58

a girdle or belt, especially as worn by women of ancient Greece.

6:44 am

Lizlin

Means a belt worn in ancient Greece

6:44 am

Lizlin

Alleyn - the last 2 letters are wrong - what do you go through to enter a room. Then lose a vowel.

11:05 am

cybernan

beautiful photo, molly

11:05 am

MollyL

Alas, even though I have switched to warm, fuzzy icons, I'm still getting bitch comments in the chat. You just can't please some people.

11:06 am

cybernan

assuming that was the ca 6/30

11:06 am

rururocks

ce 6 sounds like the material that isn't used to insulate houses any longer

11:06 am

cybernan

sawdust?

11:06 am

Uneaixoise

cabestos?

11:07 am

rururocks

you are? For what molls?

11:07 am

MollyL

My stalker, Serenity Now was back today.

11:07 am

cybernan

didn't know there was something besides fiberglass - think pink and all that

11:08 am

rururocks

oh..

11:08 am

rururocks

look up mesothelioma nan

11:08 am

cybernan

wasn't that from asbestos?

11:09 am

rururocks

YAY... now use a c

11:09 am

cybernan

ty --- never heard of it -- a brand name maybe?

11:09 am

rururocks

now that I think about it .. they should have named it asworstos

11:10 am

Uneaixoise

*snort*

11:10 am

Jadeomoan

Morning!

11:10 am

rururocks

sounds heavenly sort of.. or astral doesn't it

11:10 am

MollyL

Is there a brand name girdle called ce6?

11:10 am

rururocks

Morning Jade

11:11 am

cybernan

don't know molly - have never owned one and don't intend to start now!

11:13 am

rururocks

My mom wore one when I was little.. It always looked so uncomfortable

11:13 am

MollyL

Smart of you Nan

11:14 am

cybernan

didn't know asbestos was used to insulate houses -- insulation for hot things like pipes or around stoves and those electric fireplaces from the 50's.

11:14 am

rururocks

I think Serenity Now is an oxymoron

11:15 am

cybernan

not smart Molly -- just was a skinny minnie up until the time I reached an age when comfort was more important than not showing middle aged spread

11:16 am

cybernan

come to think of it - asbestos paper was used at one time in the roof

11:17 am

cybernan

anyway, that was my last word and I have some errands to run this am, so I should get on my horse. Hagd everyone

11:18 am

rururocks

hence the saying .. and the horse you rode in on :D

11:23 am

MollyL

Well, anyone who pays for a second log in to bash someone has some serious problems of their own.

11:24 am

MollyL

Bless it's heart

11:24 am

rururocks

Dr. God must love you for driving all these extra personalities :D

11:25 am

rururocks

more dough!!!

11:26 am

MollyL

Happy to send Dr. God some extra bucks. And bless all the multiple personalities.

11:29 am

rururocks

I'm sure he could use it.. since the JC crowd is mostly doing free stuff nowadays

11:51 am

MollyL

Oh, don't count the JC crowd out. I think there are still remnants here.

11:55 am

rururocks

sure.. but they tend to do the free thing nowadays

11:59 am

MLFAN17

cyber I know you wont see this but asbestos is in a lot of earlier building materials. roofs insulations etc. Its not a good thing to have in your home anywhere

12:01 pm

MLFAN17

halfway

12:05 pm

MollyL

Didn't Nan post that she knew what asbestos was?

12:07 pm

doseffing

...I believe she knew what asbestos was but she didn't know that it was being used to insulate houses ... only thought it was being used for pipes ...

12:15 pm

doseffing

... in that case ... I'm off to the great outdoors to pull weeds ... do they ever not come back? ... oh well ... 'til next time ...

12:20 pm

rururocks

I shouldn't have used that stupid clue to begin with

12:22 pm

MollyL

Not a stupid clue. The back end works.

12:23 pm

rururocks

I was asswaging nan's guilt :D
