3:04 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} my dearest sprite. loved your pics. xoxox

3:05 am

sprite

hello my dear friend *hugs* Great to see you. Am glad things are still okayish at your side. How did today go?

3:05 am

grannyrose

not too bad. have been resting on the bed most of the day.

3:06 am

sprite

very good. It will take time for you to come back to full strength after this ordeal.

3:06 am

grannyrose

how was your night, and what shape is today taking?

3:07 am

sprite

tonight was fine, and today is busy... cooking day. Must shop soon, and then cook. Already picked a dish. Curry with cauliflower-'rice'.

3:07 am

grannyrose

sounds yummy. not too difficult to put together?

3:08 am

sprite

no, pretty easy. And I am tossing a simple salad as a side dish. Not at all in the mood to work hard today, grin.

3:09 am

grannyrose

good, please take it as easy as possible, right?

3:10 am

sprite

yes I will. Once the shopping is done, I will be fine. *hug* Thanks for caring.

3:16 am

sprite

left and right column greyed out. So symmetrical, lol

3:17 am

grannyrose

yay you sprite

3:27 am

sprite

back. Sorry, I just got terra pushed into my hands with the message that he had poop stuck to his behind. And then my girl had to run off to school, lolol

3:27 am

sprite

nice job, cleaning diarrhea before breakfast

3:27 am

sprite

ain't it good that we mothers can handle anything?

3:28 am

grannyrose

roflollll... poor you. why do you think terra has has diarrhoea?

3:28 am

sprite

I bet he snacked on something he shouldn't.

3:31 am

sprite

and oh, the drama, grin. He is ever so pathetic when we have to wash him. But sweet as pie once it is done, and he seems happy to be clean again.

3:33 am

grannyrose

*giggle* i can imagine.

3:34 am

sprite

he has this weird tendency to poop on top of some sticky bushes... imagine that with diarrhea. Quite the mess.

3:36 am

grannyrose

yuck!!!

3:36 am

sprite

amen, sister. Amen.

3:39 am

sprite

oh the kids' exam went fine. Caya was finished first of all, lol. Walked out after 50 mins and they all went WHAT??? They checked their answers and it looks like they both at least scored an 8 out of 10. Probably higher.

3:40 am

grannyrose

well done kliddos

3:42 am

sprite

yeah. Amazing how much the extra effort in their early years to read english with them has rendered later on. Even Tim, who is SO not an alpha brainiac, is very good at english.

3:48 am

sprite

that yu5 is odd

3:49 am

sprite

the second one, I mean

3:50 am

grannyrose

yeah, i haven't seen it spelled like that before.

3:51 am

sprite

I had to list for it. And then had to monkey like mad, lol

3:54 am

sprite

fireflies. un5 the final word.

3:55 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

3:55 am

sprite

thanks my darling :) Guess I should go shop now. You have a good rest, ok? And a lovely, long night of sleep.

3:56 am

grannyrose

3:56 am

sprite

bye sweetie! *HUGS*

5:06 am

crosshair

Good morning everyone:)

5:09 am

crosshair

And now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!! Feeling down? Have the blues? Ever feel that the world is steamrolling over you in everyone else's quest to look out for #1? Well all you have to do is remember poor Ronald Wayne. In 1976 Ronald Wayne sold his 10% stake in Apple for $800.00 and a used car--now, that same 10% is worth $58,065,210,000.00... Kind of make you feel a bit better about the day eh? :)

5:16 am

feenixcat

Wow that little tidbit is really doing the rounds. First it was on Reddit a couple of days ago, and now it's everywhere.

5:26 am

crosshair

*Disclaimer* Dues to curcumstances beyond our control, and the fact that there are billions of people with a computer, there will be times when a specific bit of information is repeated more than once on the internet. All 5 billion of us apologize for the inconvenience;)

5:26 am

crosshair

:)

5:27 am

feenixcat

:P

5:27 am

feenixcat

I wasn't having a dig or anything. Trust me, I'm not a doctor.

5:28 am

crosshair

besides, if you are selling your own blood on a monthly basis just to be able to have ketchup[ soup and kool-aid, that story kinds of brightens up the day:) Most likely why it is so popular:)

5:29 am

crosshair

it is all good, I just think of Ronald, and I am all set for the day:)

5:29 am

feenixcat

I suppose so yeah :) Whatever helps.

5:30 am

crosshair

beat weeping and gnashing of teeth any day

5:31 am

crosshair

Speaking of teeth, I should see what this tiny grid is up to:)

5:34 am

feenixcat

Of course it could be worse. You could walk around every day with a name like Tokyo Sexwale. Or Dick Bong. Or Harry Baals. (all real people)

5:43 am

crosshair

Wife new a girl named Zippety-doo-dah

5:44 am

crosshair

She liked to be called "Zip"

6:01 am

crosshair

mm:( small grids are always like this-- nasty, and babblet-filled horrors:(

6:06 am

lbdawger

tadone!! this little grid was quite challenging.

6:07 am

lbdawger

and good morning, everyone!

6:07 am

sukee

Morning all.

6:07 am

lbdawger

hi sukee

6:18 am

sukee

Crossy is right, nasty grid.

6:18 am

sukee

Yay, I notice Rose was back!

6:19 am

Marc Freeman

Does the uv5 use both 'u's?

6:19 am

crosshair

Howdy, LBD, Sukee:)

6:19 am

lbdawger

6:19 am

crosshair

Yes, our Rosie is back:)

6:19 am

lbdawger

yes, Marc

6:19 am

lbdawger

hi crossy

6:19 am

Marc Freeman

got them both thanks

6:19 am

sukee

All is well now.

6:19 am

crosshair

ty for the uv words;)

6:21 am

sukee

Think the U words will have to wait for later.

6:22 am

crosshair

mmm.. best way to work this grid is to just randomly type in 4 letter nonsensical words until you get a hit:) I have found 5 "words' that way so far:)

6:24 am

Marc Freeman

What are the stats for the lone 'm' in the bottom right corner?

6:24 am

doseffing

mi 4/5

6:24 am

sukee

MI 4/5

6:25 am

sukee

First name of Aston Kutcher's baby mama :)

6:26 am

Marc Freeman

thanks

6:27 am

sukee

sort of...

6:28 am

crosshair

crossy shudders at the term "Baby mama" about as bad as the word "aksed" as in "Yo, baby mama, I aksed you not to mess up my kitchen"

6:28 am

sukee

I know, but I can't remember if they are married or not :)

6:29 am

crosshair

Sounds like they are saying "axed"

6:31 am

sukee

Okay, gotta get ready to go out. Talk soon.

6:31 am

crosshair

Watching orange is the new black with the mrs and I almost need a translator for the bit of stuff that is not a curse word> additionally, I have never seen so much "diving" in my life without the benefit of a swimming pool:)

6:33 am

crosshair

My pick after this--think I will pick Mad Men:)

6:34 am

crosshair

Now that the final episode is airing, the Mrs and I can binge watch it from start to finish over the summer:)

6:35 am

Marc Freeman

I have uv6, what are the stats of the other 6's, please?

6:35 am

doseffing

6:37 am

6:38 am

lbdawger

Marc Freeman

periwinkle

Marc, ha6. do you have ha5/16?

6:50 am

crosshair

A perfect single "peri" is a beautiful thing. There was barely a ripple in the pool when she nailed that one perfectly for the judges;)

6:51 am

periwinkle

:-)

6:51 am

Marc Freeman

OK I have the un5/14 what are the stats for the other u? I have the uv5 and uv6?

6:52 am

6:52 am

Marc Freeman

I have those and a un5 so I need the last u, please?

6:53 am

periwinkle

don't have it

6:53 am

crosshair

I had a grading system for "Peris" once. Anything that rolls over into the next minute after posting does not qualify as a peru, but everything within that time qualifies. They are graded in 15 second increments, with the most valuable "peri's" falling into the 2-15 second range;))

6:53 am

periwinkle

LOL crossy

6:54 am

crosshair

I am not being naughty. the peris, like my tidbits, add depth, fun, and character to the babble chog:)

6:55 am

Yippee for Primo! It seems like he just started college.

6:57 am

Trifioso

6:57 am

Trifioso

I am a symphony of emotions

6:57 am

Scrabbler

Any job lined up yet?

6:58 am

Trifioso

LOOOONG story there, scrabbler. short answer: he had one, and then the offer was rescinded a day later. They told him to come back in September.

6:58 am

Scrabbler

((Trif))--pride, love, ...sadness that time flew by so quickly...new chapter in life for both of you...

6:59 am

Trifioso

the mom in me is pissed at the company for doing that, but also worried - he wants to work there SO much that he will wait until September, and then what if they dont' offer him something then? he will have missed out on three months worth of chances....

6:59 am

Trifioso

but it's his life now, isn't it?

6:59 am

Scrabbler

My Secondo nephew just graduated last Saturday and is moving to Las Vegas in a few weeks. Computer science major. He will be an Android Developer at Zappo's and starting salary is MORE than what I now make!

6:59 am

periwinkle

7:00 am

Scrabbler

Aw, Trif, not a nice way for Primo to be treated.

7:00 am

periwinkle

wow, Scrabbs

7:00 am

Trifioso

wow scrabbler! not loving the moving far away part, but man - great start!!!

7:00 am

crosshair

better "Come back in September" that the old "We will keep your resume on file for 6 months, should an opening that suits your qualifications becomes available" letter

7:00 am

Scrabbler

I will miss my Jason so much.

7:00 am

Trifioso

tell him to stay away from those show girls! (or show boys....I don't judge)

7:01 am

Scrabbler

Oldest nephew cannot get decent job after college graduation 4 years ago. Making $12/hr.

7:01 am

Trifioso

what did he study?

7:01 am

Scrabbler

Jason and his longtime girlfriend are moving together. He is not interested in the casinos.

7:01 am

periwinkle

at least he is working, Scrabs which is more than I can say for some people I know

7:02 am

crosshair

My bothers eng degree from Mcmaster ended up not being worth the paper it was printed on. 60K later he found it best to stay home and raise the kids while the mrs made the money with her nursing degree;/

7:02 am

Scrabbler

Peter majored in Criminal Justice and Psychology---no law enforcement jobs here. Also, he created 2 unplanned pregnancies with former girlfriend. Grrr.

7:02 am

Scrabbler

Child care (day care or babysitter) is VERY expensive.

7:03 am

crosshair

was 12K for them. he crunched the numbers and stayed home with the kids

7:04 am

crosshair

her nusrsing degree, on the other hand was solid gold. the U.S hospital admins were waiting at the step of Mcmaster U like vultures.

7:05 am

crosshair

ignore typos please

7:06 am

crosshair

A Texas hospital set them up with a car, an apartment and paid the moving expenses. This was in the early 90's when the brain drain was at its worst

7:07 am

crosshair

biab

7:08 am

Scrabbler

Wow, Crossy, wonderful for them.

7:08 am

Trifioso

7:09 am

Scrabbler

7:09 am

Trifioso

ask about their package pricing - 8x10s and wallets!

7:10 am

Scrabbler

Actual size would be quite large. Scrabbler gets the jumbo plates!

7:10 am

Trifioso

pro pic!

7:10 am

Scrabbler

I always hope for no power failure during the big squeeze.

7:11 am

Scrabbler

Bye kids. Congrats to Primo, Trif!

7:13 am

Trifioso

7:14 am

Trifioso

7:15 am

MollyL

7:37 am

Trifioso

the lead teacher in my class room is doing a bbq life skills activity for our kids this week. she wondered what we should make for a dessert for the kids, and automatically I blurted out "For kids? At a bbq? Hoodsie cups, what else?"

7:37 am

HarryHood

seems to me one should be able to tack an S on the end of that word.

7:37 am

bichon

bbq life skills. Now I've heard everything

7:38 am

HarryHood

heh

7:38 am

Trifioso

7:38 am

Trifioso

7:38 am

HarryHood

I take my advisees out to frozen yogurt for "team building"

7:38 am

Trifioso

7:40 am

Trifioso

hello penquis

7:40 am

Trifioso

yes

7:40 am

Anniebrook

bye HH, hello pen

7:41 am

Trifioso

it is for kids who can't participate in the majority of the regular curriculum, don't take the state tests, will be on disability for their lives, etc.

7:42 am

penquis

i worked many years in schools as a school psychologist...spent a lot of time working with life skills students...

7:42 am

Trifioso

the hope is that with basic life skills, like cooking, cleaning, budgeting, simple, practical math skills, at least some of them could hope to live independently, at some point.

7:42 am

Anniebrook

Trif, do you work in a private school?

7:43 am

Trifioso

I wish you would come work at mine, penquis!!! I like our school psychologist, kinda, but she is lacking in the warmth department

7:43 am

Trifioso

no, annie, a public school

7:43 am

penquis

ah....that's too bad...

7:44 am

Trifioso

it seems an unusual vocational choice for her personality...she would be a great private therapist, though. and god knows she would make more money that way....

7:44 am

penquis

what state are you in?

7:44 am

Trifioso

massachusetts

7:45 am

penquis

maine here....

7:46 am

Trifioso

I'm going to maine (one of my FAVORITE states) for a wedding in September!

7:46 am

penquis

7:46 am

Trifioso

I spent almost all of my childhood summers in Alfred, ME at a wonderful girls' camp....ahhhhhh the memories

7:47 am

Trifioso

I don't actually know - it's in a state park, and I think it's near Portland?

7:47 am

penquis

7:48 am

josephjames

Anniebrook

That's where I learned all my silly songs

8:02 am

Anniebrook

and we slept in tents

8:03 am

Trifioso

We sang and sang and did all sorts of cool activities, crafts, sports, you name it. I learned to swim real strokes there, canoe, hike, and everything a girl needed to know about tampons :)

8:04 am

Anniebrook

yes, all those activities too...they had to pull out of the lake..loved swimming to the raft..was a super Jacks player

8:04 am

72 Temple Owl

Judi

Down to 17 and no 6s yet.

9:10 am

penquis

i think most if not all of the 6's are plurals....

9:12 am

penquis

only one that isn't is ca 6/24...and that builds on the previous word...

9:13 am

Judi

Off to run the errands of the day. 15 remaining. *POOF*

4:18 pm

rururocks

wow.. a miracle

4:19 pm

jesdraggon

indeed. and the bruces have gone into spokane, so i am home alone (well, except for the cats and coons).

4:20 pm

rururocks

there's more than one bruce?

4:21 pm

rururocks

gosh.. one is never enough I guess :D

4:21 pm

jesdraggon

yah, he reproduced. bruce the younger is 18

4:21 pm

jesdraggon

did you miss my lamentations a couple years ago about the crazy he brought home in girlfriend form?

4:21 pm

jesdraggon

he's much better now though.

4:22 pm

rururocks

oh.. no.. I didn't know of Junior..

4:22 pm

rururocks

yours? or a previous engagement ?

4:23 pm

jesdraggon

not mine... i have a long standing goal of avoiding both pregnancy and jail.

4:23 pm

rururocks

in that order ?

4:24 pm

jesdraggon

eh, yes, actually. You get over jail faster, unless you go for a spectacular reason.

4:24 pm

jesdraggon

but they're both very high on my do-not-do list.

4:25 pm

rururocks

kids weren't on my short list either

4:26 pm

rururocks

but I have to say .. I'm really enjoying a relationship with my nephews... I might have been decent father material .. but I didn't think so..

4:26 pm

jesdraggon

weren't?

4:26 pm

jesdraggon

oh, i adore my niece and nephew, and my cousins' kids, but am very glad they are not mine.

4:29 pm

rururocks

I figured if I tied it in a knot I'd be safe :D

4:29 pm

jesdraggon

yah, i couldn't ever find anybody to knot mine. Freaking catholic-controlled health care. Happily, Bruce got his done

4:30 pm

jesdraggon

and speaking of bebbies - the coons are awake. back in about 20 after they're fed and put back to bed.

4:30 pm

rururocks

a lot easier than holding aspirin in-between your knees :D

4:48 pm

jesdraggon

little gluttons

6:11 pm

harpjane

Amazingly, incredibly & fantastically, it's looking increasingly likely that Ireland will become the first country in the world to allow same sex marriages as a rsult of a public referendum. If this was Facebook, I'd click the 'Feeling Proud' button.

rururocks

good for Ireland.. and hopefully the entire USA will follow
