1:21 am

grannyrose

yay you indeed. g'day rbud.

1:21 am

Lizlin

Hi all and WTG rbud :)

1:21 am

rbud

hi, rose, hi Liz

1:22 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs, Rose

1:23 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and hi lizgirl

1:23 am

Lizlin

How are you today?

1:24 am

grannyrose

okay. have caught up with all the clean washing. just some folding to do.

1:25 am

Lizlin

Let Don do the folding ;)

1:25 am

grannyrose

monday's infusion has been cancelled. ketamine causes liver problems, so doc decided to wait another week.

1:26 am

Lizlin

Is that what was the cause of all the problems you've had?

1:26 am

Lizlin

But that must be pretty disappointing for you.

1:26 am

grannyrose

ummmmm.... you have seen his idea of folding a sheet. you need a cupboard just for them. he rolls them up into balls and stuffs them on the shelf.

1:26 am

grannyrose

no, liz. the tegretol was the problem.... they think.

1:26 am

Lizlin

Hmm! Not such a bright idea.

1:27 am

Lizlin

Which was for what?

1:27 am

grannyrose

call me anal if you want but i do like neat and tidy sheets in the cupboard... lolll

1:27 am

Lizlin

In that case, call me anal too :)

1:28 am

grannyrose

the tegretol was for the nerve pain, not the FM.

1:28 am

Lizlin

Is there a substitute?

1:28 am

grannyrose

there are plenty of other meds. just have to find one that doesn't upset the status quo in my liver.

1:29 am

Lizlin

Can that only be done by trial and error?

1:30 am

grannyrose

well we do know for certain which ones can effect the liver. my doc will just steer clear of them.

1:30 am

Lizlin

I thought that they'd have some idea of side effects - just have to find what's best for you.

1:31 am

grannyrose

plus my chemist has red flagged my site on her computer. any drugs which potentially cause liver probs will be highlighted.

1:32 am

Lizlin

That's really good - double check

1:35 am

grannyrose

btw, thanx for the great email. the pool area looks terrific. what a great job you and peter are doing.

1:36 am

Lizlin

It's coming along - hubby doing most of it. Rain today so not much done - rain most of the week in fact :(

1:36 am

grannyrose

what a bummer!!

1:37 am

Lizlin

Unusual for this time of year.

1:40 am

2:12 am

grannyrose

oh how lovely, sprite. is caya planning on some time with her friends too?

2:13 am

sprite

I don't think so, she has another week of tests coming up, lots of learning to do. But she is gonna go to horseriding lesson, will be gone most of today.

2:17 am

grannyrose

sorry, honey. had to go get some ibuprofen, hips aching.

2:17 am

sprite

it is a rotten situation, rose. Am ever so sorry the infusion had to postponed.

2:18 am

grannyrose

so am i !

2:18 am

sprite

lol I believe you :D

2:19 am

sprite

*sending soothing vibes to your hips*

2:20 am

grannyrose

thanx darling

2:20 am

sprite

this grid sucks. Lost my speed at 45 in, now at 71 and struggling.

2:21 am

grannyrose

you must be tired, sweetie. although there are some iccky ones in there.

2:22 am

sprite

not a tough grid? Jeezz louise. *tries to shake brain awake*

2:24 am

grannyrose

* hands sprite a cuppa of her favourite poison *

2:25 am

sprite

lol thanks! Wiener melange... at long last... god I missed that.

2:25 am

grannyrose

you poor thing..... there is nothing so hard as to stop having something you enjoy so much.

2:26 am

sprite

yeah it is a pity. But minor compared to what others have to live through.

2:27 am

sprite

halfway, finally

2:28 am

grannyrose

goooooo sprite

2:29 am

sprite

are the hips starting to settle a bit?

2:29 am

grannyrose

yes, thanx. at least sitting down is comfy now.

2:29 am

sprite

very good. ibuprofen and reiki, golden combination, lol

2:37 am

sprite

100 in. Pfff like pulling teeth from a toad

2:37 am

grannyrose

oh, sprite. xoxox my dear.

2:38 am

sprite

*giggles* Oh don't worry, I love it. Always enjoy word challenges.

2:38 am

sprite

any plans for tomorrow?

2:38 am

grannyrose

so long as you are enjoying it.

2:39 am

sprite

oh yes, I do. The only grids I don't like are the short and easy ones. Because they are over too soon and don't make my brain gears groan

2:42 am

Lizlin

Hi again, Rose. Hi and hugs Sprite

2:42 am

grannyrose

like the 45 word grid the other day

2:42 am

sprite

hi Liz! *hugs* How are you and your beloved?

2:43 am

Lizlin

We're fine - and you?

2:43 am

sprite

I am fine too. Looking forward to a lazy weekend, just my girl at home.

2:44 am

Lizlin

Sounds really good - no stress :)

2:45 am

sprite

none whatsoever. And tim leaves for a two weeks' vacation this afternoon, so it is gonna be an easy two weeks here.

2:45 am

Lizlin

Wonderful. He must've been so happy with his results - you too.

2:46 am

sprite

we all are, yes. Such a relief.

2:46 am

Lizlin

And his plans?

2:47 am

sprite

he is accepted at the university of amsterdam, with chemistry as major.

2:47 am

Lizlin

Fantastic

2:49 am

sprite

pretty nice to start off with a 9 out of 10 in chemistry for his finals. I have warned him though... compared to school, university is brutal. Start studying from day one, keep up your notes and go to the classes. Or you will flunk so painfully.

2:50 am

sprite

how are the whales?

2:50 am

Lizlin

Very true - lots of independent learning is expected.

2:50 am

Lizlin

Out there! Lousy weather right now.

2:51 am

Lizlin

Might get out towards the end of the week. Depends on the weather.

2:52 am

sprite

yeah and in school, they are very helpful. "Jeezz Tim, your grades are failing, is something the matter? Can we help?"
No such thing in university. They do have mentors, but it is up to you to enlist their help... and if you don't study, they will kindly tell you to either work or leave, because there are tons of others to take your place. It will do him good, I think.

2:52 am

sprite

I hope the weather clears for you. I always enjoy the thought you are visiting the whales :)

2:53 am

Lizlin

Hope so - it's certainly tougher at uni than most kids expect.

2:55 am

sprite

I remember my first year. Japanese language and culture. Apart from chinese, japanese is the language that is farthest removed from dutch. It was a kind of culture shock. Around Christmas, most students, me included, were certain we would never be able to learn a single thing.

2:56 am

Lizlin

Wow!

2:57 am

Lizlin

I've heard ?Japanese is incredibly difficult.

2:57 am

sprite

yeah. It takes about that long to start building 'coat pegs'... bridges between what you already knew and the totally new things you are trying to learn. Once you have a start, you can start building.

2:58 am

Lizlin

Ground to a halt here :(

2:58 am

sprite

yes it is. You have to learn to think differently. They don't have the same sentence structure as we do... no subject, no object, no verb forms, and then the writing of course.

2:59 am

sprite

I hear ya! This grid stinks. I am struggling. Have been struggling since 45 in.

3:00 am

Lizlin

Taking another break. Have a lovely, restful day.

3:01 am

sprite

sleep well, Liz, and have a lovely sunday

3:03 am

sprite

final word U9. Just like me, ending up with a biggie AND a vowel word. Rose, is it a fish?

3:03 am

grannyrose

enjoy your evening lizgirl. love to you both. xoxox

3:04 am

grannyrose

no way it is a fish

3:04 am

sprite

ok... in that case, may I beg for a clue, please? I think I tried everything.

3:04 am

grannyrose

it means shaped like a pitcher

3:04 am

sprite

rrrrrrrrrrrrright. Um...

3:05 am

grannyrose

ur9. ur + abbreviation for high up executive in a company + not early

3:05 am

sprite

pitchershape... not valid.
pitcherforme.... not valid
pitcherwhatthehecklike... nope

3:05 am

grannyrose

roflollll

3:05 am

sprite

thanks darling. Fireflies. That is a new one for me, what an odd word.

3:06 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!!!

3:07 am

sprite

good grief. Did you look at the def? swelling out like the body of a pitcher and contracted at the orifice, as a corolla. Right. Thanks dictionary, for obscuring that up for me.

3:07 am

grannyrose

* giggling *

3:08 am

sprite

it sounds positively indecent :D

3:10 am

sprite

oh rose, I think one more week of work on the translation of the dance book. And then I can start with Jirelle, my own book. So looking forward to it!

3:10 am

grannyrose

well done sprite.

3:12 am

sprite

sweetie, sleep well and painfree, and hopefully cool enough. I hold you in my prayers. things will work out eventually. The Big Guy knows He is in for it if He lets you suffer.

3:12 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} my darling. enjoy your weekend. xoxox

3:12 am

sprite

will do! To the hilt, grin. Luv ya!

6:22 am

crosshair

Now it is time for Crossy,s tidbit of the day!! Today I wish to introduce you to the ancient Japanese art of "Kintsugi" Simply put it is a beautiful type of broken pottery repair with precious metal that highlights and promotes a traumatic part of the objects life, and makes it a part of its history, rather that something to be hidden away. Seems to me it is like coming out on the other side of a traumatic event with your head held high, and as a person , or an object--you become all the more beautiful despite your scars. I will let you Google this art form, but there is a poem for this that I wish to share with you, since we all have our cracks from life: They Fill the Cracks with Gold
He told her she was pottery; a vase with grooves and cracks.
The patterns of the history she hid behind her back.

Within his words he layered in- like thread upon a loom-
The sweetest undercurrent to illuminate that gloom.

In certain cultures, he decreed, when pottery is cracked
They aggrandize them with gleaming gold to bring their splendor back

For they believe, with certainty, once damage has been wrought
Those tiny cracks, now filled with light, hold truths that can't be taught.--Sarah Spang

6:22 am

found an ec4 and an ec 6, but the 5 remains elusive;)

9:01 am

crossy, I play during breakfst--not as good as yours!--but seldom speak up. I watch your lefe with interest--am waiting to hear about your valedictorian speech.

9:02 am

I will post pics and a blurb on my website on the big day RB:)

9:02 am

Same first four letters of the EC 6/21 + letter.

9:02 am

RoundBarn

or is it already over. your life, classes, tutoring, helping kids--our current news is our evil givernor is closing the whole state musem system.

9:02 am

crosshair

He is closing the museums???!!!

9:03 am

MLFAN17

clue for the te9 please?

9:03 am

crosshair

That is almost as bad as the powers that be in P.A wanting to close the public libraries!

9:04 am

Marc Freeman

zooz don't get the clue it is for a ec5/12 your clue is for a ec7

9:04 am

crosshair

Let me see, RB, I have the date here somewhere...

9:04 am

RoundBarn

that's what he says. its a threat to get his own way, he's one of our billionairres that the dems let in by not voting--and he's after everything cultural with a vengeance--and just may win--so my friends are taking early retirement, looking for other jobs etc

9:04 am

Do you have the chocolate Ec 6/21?

9:05 am

Marc Freeman

Yes I have the ec6/21

9:05 am

Taking away all that is good. Time to move.

9:05 am

zoozzoom

Then just use the first four letters of that word then add a letter on the end.

9:05 am

RoundBarn

of course it will save no money--the collections center has to be guareded around the clock, humidity kept constant, tec--and for a state and town that depends on tourism, he's closing all the historical site.

9:06 am

MLFAN17

wouldn't a museum be a tourist attraction?

9:06 am

Marc Freeman

thanks got it

9:06 am

MLFAN17

TE9 clue please?

9:06 am

crosshair

If it closes, you can be sure they will jam all the artifacts into a unsuitable environment just to save money, and that will be the beginning of the end.

9:07 am

MLFAN17

that is so ridiculous isn't it cross?

9:07 am

crosshair

It is.

9:08 am

RoundBarn

that's the point--he figures if he shuts everything he can get his awful budget through and then let things stay open--but sunce he a has the power to close anything state--but not the power to pass his budget alone--he is closing everything state. Of course he must know we depend on torism.

9:09 am

MLFAN17

without a "reason" to come to any particular area people will not visit

9:09 am

crosshair

It is so bad in some countries, i read that they are re-burying historical sites because they cannot put aside money to preserve the. They plot it all out, note the damage from the centuries, then bury once moe--they say for future generations to preserve.

9:09 am

crosshair

sorry for the typos

9:10 am

RoundBarn

we also have legal agreementw with the native americans and other froups--we take care of their stuff, they let it be here, and on diusplay, etc. This is affecting 6 museum sites around the state. He's shutting historic ones, too. I should post the poem I'm running next week in my column--saying why quit yet, close the libraries, the rest stops, the state parks, etc--let the tourists pee in the rain--

9:11 am

crosshair

may as well build a highway bypass hten and everyone can just avoid the place altogether...

9:11 am

MLFAN17

all libraries will be closed eventually anyway

9:12 am

RoundBarn

looks like it--we've already shut all our branches, where the kids would study after school and use the computers--so why am I writing books? why are you, crossy? No one under 40 now reads--

9:14 am

crosshair

As a town, we run our own library, even though it is part of the Simcoe County library system, and we went by ourselves to ask for funding, got 5 mil from the Govt, raised 5 mil of our own and built it as we wished it to be built. Now, we do not rely on anyone for funding any longer. We raise funds from within, and our precious library prospers.

9:14 am

9:15 am

9:21 am

Selling books, and the idea of the printed page will be a challange with the new generation to be sure, but, in the end, those who love a good story, one that moves them deeply, will always go back to their roots.

9:22 am

A musch cherished tale is all well and good in digital format, but there is nothing like having a beautiful printed and bound copy for that truly tactile sensation.

9:23 am

MLFAN17

cross I agree completely to me its a part of history and that's what I love about books

9:23 am

RoundBarn

hope that's true with one set of g'children, cross--they have their electronci games, get A's in reading but don't read for pleasure. And their mom teaches reading!!

9:23 am

crosshair

And it is not a new idea. Even back in the "pulp' days, those who write looked for a medium that would display the work as it was meant to be displayed, and that is why Arkham Publishers came to be.

9:24 am

August Dearlth (sp) and ray Bradbury contributed heavily to that small press.

At this point I am my own small press--the Beloit College Press decided to close.

2:15 pm

MollyL

Smom, you have to refresh whenever you finish the grid. Otherwise you total points will not be calculated. In the way they are calculated here, which is ancient.

2:16 pm

MollyL

You can go to the Archives and see what points you got for any given day.

2:19 pm

sammysmom

i do not know how to do that molly

2:20 pm

MollyL

Up at the top of the Chat Box is a tab that says ARCHIVES

2:21 pm

MollyL

It keeps a record of what everyone says here. Some people, who don't exactly tell the truth are unaware of that.

2:25 pm

sammysmom

i went into the archives but do not see where i can find oujt if i have not played on a certain day... there were a few days when i did not say anything in the chog ( hard to believe, huh?)

2:27 pm

MollyL

Well, if you didn't refresh after you finished, your word list may have lost words. It is a glitch in the program. Always refresh when you are done.

2:27 pm

MollyL

The archives will show you your total points.

2:28 pm

sammysmom

how do i refresh when i am done??

2:30 pm

MollyL

That depends on your browser. It is usually a little round arrow at the top of your screen. Or hit the F5 key.
