{{{hugs}} and good morning my darling sprite

3:08 am

sprite

hello my dear friend *hugs rose* How was your day?

3:08 am

Lizlin

HI and hugs friends - what good timing!

3:08 am

grannyrose

it was very quiet. apart from church, haven't done very much. how was your night?

3:08 am

sprite

hello Liz! *hugs* for you both. How was your day?

3:09 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} lizgirl.

3:09 am

sprite

sounds good to me, rose. Nice and relaxed. How did you sleep and how is the pain?

3:09 am

Lizlin

Excellent - friends here for lunch. They just left and it's now after 6.00

3:10 am

sprite

oh nice! Sounds like y ou had a good time together

3:10 am

Lizlin

Barbecued - and sat out side all afternoon. Laughed a lot :)

3:10 am

grannyrose

sprite, have gone back to regular analgesia. ibuprofen th5 times/day. slept reasonably well. woke a couple of times, but managed to go back to sleep again.

3:11 am

Lizlin

That sounds as if it's working quite well for you for now. I hope so.

3:11 am

sprite

ah good, rose. I think that is a good decision. You need something to ti4 you over until they think a new infusion is safe.

3:14 am

Lizlin

Back in a minute

3:14 am

sprite

*sets stopwatch*

3:15 am

grannyrose

roflollll. poor liz

3:16 am

sprite

hmpfffff running off while we are together here. Better be back in time!

3:17 am

grannyrose

now hang on!! liz may have been polite and did not give TMI.

3:18 am

sprite

I don't care about polite, lol. I care about having Liz here with us. *angelic face*

3:18 am

grannyrose

oh yeah, right!!

3:19 am

sprite

see, I knew you'd see it my way

3:20 am

grannyrose

in this case dear, the two positives mean a negative.

3:21 am

sprite

*mumblemumble subtleties mumblemumble details pfff*

3:21 am

sprite

*mumble semantics mumble*

3:23 am

grannyrose

lollll you're muttering!!~~~!!

3:23 am

sprite

*mumbles louder*

3:24 am

grannyrose

* really laughing out loud *

3:24 am

sprite

so... what is keeping Liz! It is 10 minutes now. I think it is time to think of a fi4 for her.

3:25 am

grannyrose

how about write us an email with her eyes crossed?

3:25 am

grannyrose

that would be interesting reading.

3:25 am

sprite

yep that would work. Easy reading as long as we cross our eyes as well

3:26 am

sprite

hardiet - very tough food regime

3:26 am

Lizlin

And back - clean sheets now on bed :)

3:26 am

grannyrose

in other words the sprite diet....

3:26 am

Lizlin

Didn't have time this morning, what with cooking etc.

3:27 am

sprite

no kidding... you left us hanging for a couple of clean rags? Tssssssk.

3:27 am

Lizlin

Ah but the comfort tonight ;)

3:27 am

sprite

too true, rose, lol. Shall I add it? Or not funny enough?

3:28 am

grannyrose

add it !!

3:28 am

Lizlin

Definitely a good word - all those tough food regimes.

3:28 am

sprite

oh I know, Liz :) I love clean bedlinen. A quick shower before bed and then clean body against clean sheets... lovely.

3:28 am

sprite

ok, adding it

3:29 am

Lizlin

Didn't want to change sheets before going to bed - then all I want to do is get into the bed.

3:29 am

sprite

aw poor Liz, I was just pulling your leg, lol. No need to explain. Real life comes first at all times.

3:30 am

Lizlin

I know - I didn't take it that way.

3:30 am

sprite

good :)

3:32 am

Lizlin

OK - just read back - I did overrun the stopwatch just a bit.

3:33 am

sprite

just a bit! Times 10! You owe rose and me an email written with your eyes crossed. Just so you know.

3:34 am

Lizlin

Not a hope

3:34 am

sprite

rose thought that up and I am backing her

3:34 am

Lizlin

How's life with the girlie household.

3:34 am

grannyrose

don

3:35 am

grannyrose

don't change the subject liz.... email

3:35 am

sprite

oh quiet. Lovely. Caya went horse riding yesterday, was gone all afternoon. And I slept on the couch, half reading, half napping. We ordered dinner, lol. And spent most of the evening watching some half scientific programs on dinosaurs, and talked and talked and talked.

3:35 am

Lizlin

Forget it! In fact, i wrote the last email to both o fyou.

3:36 am

Lizlin

sounds like a lovely way to spend the day.

3:36 am

sprite

you are too right. And I had promised to answer the next day and I haven't done so yet. Will try and make up for it today.

3:36 am

Lizlin

Seriously, whenever you have the time and inclination.

3:37 am

sprite

I have been lazy. I love emailing with you both!

3:38 am

Lizlin

It still takes the time and being in the right frame of mind.

3:38 am

Lizlin

I love hearing from you too.

3:39 am

sprite

that is true. *hugs*

3:40 am

Lizlin

Must stop trying to enter deficit :(

3:41 am

sprite

am struggling with that Q tile. Are there some weirdos among the Qs?

3:41 am

Lizlin

I only have 3 of them

3:41 am

sprite

yeah me too

3:41 am

Lizlin

Have sort of been avoiding it ;)

3:41 am

sprite

hahahaha that works too

3:41 am

Lizlin

5 now

3:42 am

grannyrose

only one weirdo. qu6/30 uses an old fashioned past tense with a vowel ending

3:42 am

sprite

still 3

3:42 am

Lizlin

2 x qu 6/30?

3:42 am

sprite

4 now

3:42 am

grannyrose

yup

3:43 am

Lizlin

Got it - random guess

3:43 am

sprite

I have 2 of those, yes

3:43 am

Lizlin

qu 8/9, sprite?

3:43 am

sprite

nope, those are my missing ones. Are they odd, or am I just being blind?

3:43 am

Lizlin

Mathematical and pl

3:44 am

grannyrose

qu8, in maths, result of division.

3:44 am

sprite

oh of course! Thanks, both of you

3:44 am

sprite

hah, two grey tiles achieved now.

3:45 am

Lizlin

2 grey here too but still 4 blanks - all vowels :)

3:46 am

sprite

let me see... I have 3 blank vowels still. And not a single 7, lol. Biggies blind as usual.

3:46 am

Lizlin

Oooh, just remembered French shit

3:46 am

Lizlin

Only 1 7

3:47 am

sprite

lol the french shit was one of my first words. What does that say about me... ouch.

3:48 am

Lizlin

I forgot it was accepted.

3:48 am

sprite

rotified cotified quotified... jeeezzz don't they look like valid words to you?

3:48 am

Lizlin

Sure do

3:48 am

grannyrose

lollll i tried them all

3:49 am

sprite

lol :D sister of my soul

3:50 am

Lizlin

Have you heard from Pugs recently?

3:50 am

sprite

no, I haven't. She asked about rose's health not so long ago and I have answered her, but haven't heard back yet.

3:51 am

Lizlin

Hope all's well with her.

3:52 am

grannyrose

yeah, i need to get a move on with writing back to her. mea culpa !

3:53 am

sprite

end of may, she was ok. Her sister not so much, she was hospitalised with crazy sugar ratings.

3:53 am

Lizlin

Her ex hasn't been around, I hope.

3:53 am

Lizlin

Didn't he once have something to do with the sister's sugar rating?

3:54 am

sprite

nope, no ex stuff. Her new love has moved in with her by now. Yeah, the ex gave her stuff she shouldn't eat. The new love has diabetes himself, so he will be a lot better for her!

3:55 am

grannyrose

and Roy was moving in soon

3:55 am

grannyrose

on the 25th she said

3:56 am

sprite

but it seems it is not only what she eats. In the hospital, her BSL went haywire as well.

3:56 am

Lizlin

That's such lovely news - I really wish her all the best.

3:57 am

Lizlin

I'm sure they'll sort it for her.

3:58 am

sprite

she is a powerhouse of a lady. The way she turned her life around... it is amazing.

3:58 am

Lizlin

That's very true - have to admire that.

3:59 am

sprite

I sure do.

4:01 am

sprite

rose, was that the 25th of may or june?

4:02 am

grannyrose

in her email she says 25th june. she wrote on the 25th may

4:03 am

grannyrose

the delay was because i was checking the facts

4:03 am

Lizlin

Whichever - very exciting times for her.

4:03 am

sprite

ah ok, then it is still to happen. Thanks.

4:04 am

sprite

I hope it will mean a bit of relief for her. If Roy is as good as he seems, he should pick up a part of the load she is carrying.

4:05 am

Lizlin

I hope so.

4:06 am

Lizlin

Hardmen not accepted :(

4:06 am

sprite

nor sinman

4:07 am

Lizlin

4:08 am

Lizlin

4:08 am

Lizlin

After 145 words - lol - took some time.

4:09 am

sprite

hehehe I wasn't at all quick with it either today

4:10 am

Lizlin

Funny thing was I thought that the oc 5/14 should be there but instead of trying it, I just kept looking and not seeing it.

4:10 am

sprite

oh lol! In case of doubt, always just type it in. Babble rule # 324

4:11 am

Lizlin

I'm only up to rule #279

4:11 am

sprite

ah that explains it. It's all those clean sheets, of course. Such a waste of good babble time.

4:12 am

Lizlin

True and gym and eating too - not to mention sshhhh The Hubby :0

4:12 am

grannyrose

* giggling *

4:12 am

sprite

ok... we really need to get you prioritised stat!

4:13 am

Lizlin

Talking of which, in spite of large lunch, starting to feel hungry again.

4:13 am

sprite

Lizlin

Hugs always extended to you and your partners

4:18 am

Rose, I think I better be off too. I can do a bit of translation today, getting closer to finalising the ordered translation so I can move on to my own :D

4:18 am

Lizlin

I'm happy for you that you were able to find some attempts at humor that you enjoyed. I am declaring moral victory after getting half the words without Lickety or morewords. Happy Babbling!

10:49 am

it is good for back pain, arthritis, and dietary issues with cancer patients among other things.

10:49 am

crosshair

But moderation is the key:)

10:51 am

Judi

I'll smoke to that. Good morning, all!

10:51 am

zoozzoom

I also heard you can buy it in chemist in some parts of the states. I think, cosdem, was talking about it a while ago.

10:51 am

zoozzoom

LOL Hello, Judi :-)

10:56 am

Judi

Doctors here in some states can prescribe "Marinol" - usually only to cancer patients or those with chronic pain, seizure disorders. Laws from state to state are different. Marijuana oil, which apparently has no THC (the high) can be prescribed as well for children. Delaware (where I live) is inching closer to legalizing it for recreational use. However, there will be age restrictions, etc.

10:57 am

Judi

I think once states embrace the fact that they can regulate it and TAX it, legalization will domino around the country.

10:58 am

Judi

Colorado is a prime example.

10:59 am

zoozzoom

Ah yes I think that is the place, Cosdem, Was saying where you can buy it openly from.

10:59 am

crosshair

Washington state is legal as well now?

11:00 am

Judi

Yes. Folks are setting up boutique stores. Tourism has increased exponentially. Duh.

11:00 am

crosshair

The Canadians are watching with great interest:)

11:00 am

Judi

Don't know about Washington, Crossy.

11:00 am

rururocks

Delaware is only going to legalize pot for gay married couples

11:00 am

MollyL

I think Zoom..."high" would be a treat to see posting. Someone needs to make that happen.
: D

11:01 am

I was under the impression that three state have made it legal

11:01 am

Judi

LOL, Ruru!

11:02 am

Lovely rose con, Molly!

11:02 am

11:02 am

Colorado, Oregon and Washington State are the three legal States so far

11:02 am

rururocks

<---likes to make judi laugh in the a.m.

11:03 am

crosshair

thought so

11:03 am

MollyL

California doesn't bother with legislation since dope smoking is a thing of everyday living there anyway

11:04 am

Judi

Last I read, Delaware was planning on still making it illegal to possess/use in public, but changing the charge from criminal to civil. So, you'll be able to buy it, but you just can't wave it around or subject anyone else to your 2nd hand smoke.

11:04 am

rururocks

it is really stupid in California.. all the tax dollars they could have if they legalized it

11:04 am

crosshair

I figure if you guys get all the states on board, then our movers and shakers will have no choice, otherwise your tourism will be just insane:)

11:05 am

Judi

Honestly, I think it should be legalized. I think the crime rates would go way down. Everyone one would be so mellowed out, they wouldn't want to bother to commit crimes.

11:05 am

crosshair

Snack sales will increase 5000%:)

11:05 am

Judi

lol. Obviously!

11:05 am

rururocks

speeding tickets would drop in California :D

11:06 am

rururocks

I'd buy stock in Haagen Daz if it passes

11:06 am

Judi

Although DUIs would probably increase.

11:06 am

MollyL

Millions of dollars could be saved in policing, court time and prison time if they would just give up laws against marijuana. Really, as a friend of mine often says, I would rather meet a stoner in a dark alley than a drunk. The drunk will probably beat you up. The stoner just wants your Cheetos.

11:06 am

crosshair

All the cops will have to carry thc meters

11:06 am

crosshair

They will have to figure out a legal limit for those behind the wheel

11:08 am

MollyL

Oh, and all the money spent crop dusting to see who is growing what, where.

11:09 am

crosshair

Because back in the day we used to smoke stuff so strong that I would have not know my own name even if the Lord himself parted the heavens, leaned down, and shouted it into my face:) Now, however, just plain old fresh air can be a challenge some days:)

11:09 am

Judi

There will be no more vegetables or fruit at the farmers markets!

11:10 am

rururocks

it's funny .. pot never did much for me.. pretty much stopped after high school

11:10 am

MollyL

And people will not be so grumpy

11:10 am

crosshair

We stopped when we decided to have a family

11:11 am

Judi

Never did much for me either, Ru. However, I'm told the stuff grown now is MUCH stronger. Ah, we should all be so thankful for agricultural progress.

11:11 am

crosshair

Yup. not many fist fights going on at a weed bar:)

11:12 am

rururocks

there's no way I could smoke today's strong pot

11:12 am

Judi

Well, I would imagine things could get ugly if the weed bar ever runs out of brownies or personal pizzas.

11:12 am

MollyL

Hilarious. Dope and French feces discussions. All the old prudes have left the building.

11:12 am

crosshair

Seems you can order it with specific THC levels now

11:12 am

TBH, I would be lost without a true winter. That may change as the aches and pains increase with time, but, for now, it is what I am.

11:32 am

crosshair

Hair gets into everything on the Yeti express

11:33 am

Judi

That's not hair, that's packing material.

11:33 am

rururocks

but they do have big feet

11:33 am

MollyL

Winter...cold, nasty, bitter...I could live without it the rest of my life and be a happy person.

11:34 am

Judi

Ditto, Molls.

11:34 am

MollyL

Big, fat and hairy. The Yeti Express.

11:34 am

rururocks

sounds like valentine's roommate :D

11:35 am

Judi

"When it absolutely has to get there when Hell freezes over."

11:36 am

crosshair

Nothing like taking the snowshoes and heading out on a sunny winter day in January. The light bounces of the crust, and glitters like diamonds( hence the sunglasses to avoid snow blindness) and the snow pack beneath your shoes cracks in the still, crisp air. You are alone, and one with nature as you hike through the trees-- hoping not to freeze solid before you reach a warming station;)

11:36 am

MollyL

Oh *sniff* another Hallmark moment

11:36 am

rururocks

you are alone with nature because no one else is dumb enough to go out in the cold :D

11:36 am

Judi

Sorry, Crossy. No amount of lovely prose can make me like snow.

11:36 am

crosshair

Try to hold it together, Molly

11:37 am

crosshair

Don' fall apart on us:)

11:37 am

MollyL

Lovely prose?

11:37 am

rururocks

I bet Molly can't get out of a Hallmark store without weeping :D

11:38 am

Judi

Nah. She just opens all the singing cards and runs.

11:38 am

crosshair

it is hard to write poetic prose about dehydrating your body in a desert...:)

11:38 am

crosshair

Told my brother he should get into the beef jerky biz\

11:39 am

Judi

Gotta go get my berries! See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*

11:39 am

crosshair

tc judi. I am off as well for a bit.

11:39 am

rururocks

it takes a whole day to get berries?

11:43 am

MollyL

My beloved is like the glittering diamonds of sun reflecting off the snow. The staff that guides me through the perils of my lost life. *Sniff*

11:43 am

Anniebrook

*sniff sniff*

11:44 am

Anniebrook

going out for a while, bye

11:45 am

I'd say it's a Babblet, but it's not

12:31 pm

found a bunny

12:31 pm

harpjane

and some birdies

12:37 pm

mattygroves

Birdies?

12:40 pm

MollyL

Harp is kind of obsessed with any animal iteration in the grid

12:40 pm

ChrissieDee

I have booby birds

12:44 pm

MollyL

T word Matty, rhymes with what you have (plural) on your hands if you scorch them on the stove. Never heard of them called Booby though.

12:45 pm

ChrissieDee

Is that ti4/4 Molly?

12:47 pm

MollyL

My mistake. My clue is not here. I never think of breasts as boobies.

12:48 pm

ChrissieDee

Probably English slang :)

12:48 pm

rururocks

I think of them as love cushions :D

12:49 pm

rururocks

When I think of Boobs.. I think of Ted Cruz

12:50 pm

harpjane

there's lots of birdies today

12:51 pm

harpjane

And they have a place to sleep also

12:51 pm

harpjane

And they have a place to sleep also

12:51 pm

harpjane

And they have a place to sleep also

12:52 pm

MollyL

Birdies and boobs and their place to sleep.
All good.

12:55 pm

MollyL

I think the difficulty of these puzzles is their ability to present words up and to the left. It is not the way most of us were taught to read.

12:56 pm

rururocks

that must be why i'm good at it .. my brains are scrambled :D

12:56 pm

MollyL

That's okay. I have no problem with you, sir.

1:15 pm

mattygroves

Boobies are common slang...

1:19 pm

MollyL

Gorgeous icon and great quote, Ru.

1:19 pm

rururocks

I love his writing. I have read all his books.. he's a great writer

1:20 pm

harpjane

We raised some abandoned birds a few years ago. It was a blast! And a lot of work!

3:42 pm

harpjane

The have to be fed every 20 minutes for the first few days.

3:42 pm

HarryHood

how would I know if they're abandoned?

3:42 pm

harpjane

No parent for an extended period of time.

3:43 pm

HarryHood

need a bird-cam

3:44 pm

bichon

se 6/21, 2nd one pls

3:45 pm

Bugsaw

Harry you can hear when they are being fed by all the gurgling sounds so you don't have to hover and be visible to the parent to keep an eye on things. Good luck with the babies

3:45 pm

HarryHood

3:53 pm

rururocks

yep.. 84 groans .. i'm slacking

3:53 pm

Bugsaw

Hi ruru.

3:53 pm

Bugsaw

I took note of that author you mentioned.

3:54 pm

Aloyisius

howdy ru

3:54 pm

rururocks

morning ms. saw

3:54 pm

rururocks

he's a great writer

3:54 pm

rururocks

many of his books are out of print though.. so you have to buy them on Amazon from some Library sale

3:54 pm

Bugsaw

never been ms. saw before. Mrs. Noah, yes

3:55 pm

rururocks

you have an ARK?

3:55 pm

Bugsaw

we have a great second hand bookstore here where I can often find odd things

3:55 pm

rururocks

of Wolves and Men is another great one he wrote.

3:56 pm

rururocks

I don't lend them out any more as I never get them back and I cherish them

3:56 pm

Bugsaw

two actually. Mr Bugs is building a 42' barge in our back yard. When it arrived all the neighbours came out and called me Mrs Noah, asking what we knew that they didn't.

3:57 pm

Bugsaw

I don't lend out of print favourites either

3:57 pm

rururocks

well neighbors don't like it when you barge in on them

3:58 pm

Bugsaw

another groan for your count. Thing that strikes me funny is that we now have doves in the neighbourhood cooing away!

3:58 pm

rururocks

you should have a few animals walk by house in pairs .. that would create a fuss

3:59 pm

rururocks

the house

3:59 pm

Bugsaw

that would be so cool if it were possible. We have 2 cats but that is all

3:59 pm

Aloyisius

42' barge is huge!

3:59 pm

rururocks

call rent a llama :D

4:00 pm

Bugsaw

I know. He split it down the middle, moved it apart 4

4:00 pm

rururocks

we are supposed to have a very wet year next year.. so it might be good to have a barge around

4:01 pm

rururocks

I have a great line for you for mr. Bugs... bugs

4:02 pm

Bugsaw

4 feet I mean (can't find the button) and filled in the middle all by himself so it would have a wider beam and wouldn't flip. Then he rebuilt some engines and is now working on a 2 level wheelhouse. You can see it above the barn now but the neighbours are all good.

4:02 pm

Bugsaw

I thing they want a ride when the flood comes.

4:02 pm

Bugsaw

I will bite ruru. What is the line"

4:03 pm

rururocks

"well dear.. sure... whatever floats your boat!"

4:03 pm

rururocks

:D

4:03 pm

Aloyisius

you have a trailer for a 42' barge? wow.. hope their are wide turns on the way to the launch site!

4:03 pm

Bugsaw

I must try that with him. Thanks

4:04 pm

Bugsaw

Aloy, heaven forbid he should start building a trailer for it!!!!!

4:04 pm

rururocks

on the house..

4:04 pm

Aloyisius

well... is he building it over the water?

4:04 pm

Bugsaw

I keep asking him to turn it into a house boat so we can live on the water in the summers but he thinks he will have a better chance selling it for a work barge.

4:05 pm

rururocks

then there would be a barge at large?

4:06 pm

rururocks

if it were priced well .. it could be a barge-gain

4:06 pm

Bugsaw

No, there are professional boat movers. They brought it here in the first place. The second one is stored on an acreage place nearer to the water than we are. It is much closer to being finished but I despair of either of them ever being used by us

4:06 pm

Aloyisius

am wondering if you have waterfront in your back yard.. like how do you get such a large barge from the building site to the water? oh..

4:06 pm

stidmama

hey all!

4:06 pm

Bugsaw

You are on a roll, ruru! So glad to have given you a topic you probably have not explored before

4:07 pm

Aloyisius

hi there stid!

4:07 pm

rururocks

hey stister

4:07 pm

Bugsaw

hey stid. You have seen the barge. It takes up a lot of space doesn't it

4:07 pm

rururocks

stidster that is

4:07 pm

Aloyisius

ok, rack up a groan for barge-gain..

4:07 pm

rururocks

LOL

4:08 pm

MollyL

All the ladies groan for Ruru â™¥

4:08 pm

Bugsaw

too funny Molly

4:08 pm

rururocks

here's Hoping!

4:09 pm

stidmama

The barge is a marvelous thing, everyone. I LOVE the innovations and the careful construction. Mr. Bugs is a natural-born artist and engineer. *look of admiration* AND he is a fine cook. AND he is kind (which is the most important thing).

4:09 pm

Aloyisius

I'd saw Mr. Bugs is a Keeper!

4:10 pm

stidmama

But yes, the barge is big. BIG-big. Which will make it perfect for use on the more-open waters of the Salish Sea.

4:10 pm

Aloyisius

"say" that is

4:10 pm

Bugsaw

it is the most important thing to me for sure. I just wish his hobbies did not take up so much room and require so much junk. Still, the junk part keeps the costs down

4:10 pm

rururocks

whoa.. that gives a whole new meaning to my better half alloy :D

4:10 pm

stidmama

:-)

4:11 pm

rururocks

*sends stamp collector kit to Bugs for her hubby*

4:12 pm

Bugsaw

thanks ruru. more virtual stuff is all we have room for

4:12 pm

rururocks

oh..uh oh

4:13 pm

rururocks

<---trying to downsize here..throws stuff out every weekend

4:13 pm

Bugsaw

well don't tell Mr Bugs about it or he will arrive with a truck to bring it home

4:13 pm

Bugsaw

whether he needs it or not

4:15 pm

stidmama

LOL Mr. Bugs and I have a LOT in common!

4:15 pm

stidmama

I am starting to think about what I NEED for next year and try to come up with a plan for disposing of the items I really DO NOT need... I am likely to start the year with only about 22 students. That will be a refreshing change of pace!

4:16 pm

Bugsaw

that is a nice number. Grade 3 again?

4:17 pm

stidmama

YES. I get a "do-over" and already I know so many things to do differently (and better times of the year for other things). AND I am told the kiddos already assigned to me are a nice group. Which I believe will be true. So far, the kiddos I have worked with have been just so nice.

4:18 pm

Bugsaw

I must be off to meet a friend for coffee. Just had a house guest leave and need to catch up with others now.

4:18 pm

Bugsaw

Happy Babbling everyone

4:18 pm

Aloyisius

sounds great, stid.. when does your school year start? Bye, Bugs..

4:18 pm

stidmama

later bugs -- will "see" you again soon!

4:19 pm

stidmama

Our kiddos will come back on June 2. We'll be in the building for mandatory training on Aug 31, but there are a few days of "summer institute" that we can be paid for in August as well.

4:20 pm

Aloyisius

you mean Sept. 2nd.. right?

4:21 pm

Aloyisius

having long lags, but no red bars, yet

4:21 pm

rururocks

stid is on the Mayan calendar alloy..

4:21 pm

stidmama

LOL yep. Sept 2

4:21 pm

stidmama

Sorry -- multi-tasking

4:22 pm

Aloyisius

np.. you need some time away from thinking lesson plans to recharge .. hope you have a wonderful vacation

4:23 pm

MollyL

First lesson plan is Months Of The Year

4:24 pm

stidmama

:-D I loved my year, Aloyisius. So different from middle school (not better, just different). Lots of different challenges.

4:25 pm

Aloyisius

glad you had a good one, stid!

4:27 pm

stidmama

me too! I was awfully nervous going in. :-) anyway, down to 128 and probably should get one more thing done. blog post in progress! have a great summer, all! *poof*

4:28 pm

Aloyisius

bye for now, stid

4:33 pm

periwinkle

hello folks

4:33 pm

Aloyisius

hi peri!

4:35 pm

periwinkle

I am going to check out a walking trail not far from me. Supposed to be a fairly easy walk. Hoping to meet some new people.

4:35 pm

periwinkle

and new friends.

4:36 pm

Aloyisius

sounds great.. is the trail through the woods or around a pond?

4:36 pm

periwinkle

I am not sure. I will let you know.

4:36 pm

periwinkle

It is apparently a very popular trail.

4:37 pm

MollyL

Peri is going on the stroll

4:37 pm

periwinkle

god, I remember that dance, The Stroll.

4:37 pm

periwinkle

I need to get out and do things other than shopping and errands.

4:38 pm

MollyL

Been a long time? (Led Zepplin reference)

4:38 pm

Aloyisius

h'mm, think I know what is going on with the lag time.. advertisements are popping up in the background, (I can hear them).. think I'd better do CCleaner as soon as I finish.. annoying

4:38 pm

periwinkle

altho I did get a nice blouse at Marshalls on sale.

4:38 pm

periwinkle

I am pretty sure it was not Led Zepplin

4:39 pm

periwinkle

I am stuck with 65 left. may have to go to the list soon. Both Doren and another friend of mine are in Paris (but not together)

4:40 pm

periwinkle

and my god daughter is in Paraquay and I am here playing babble

4:40 pm

periwinkle

bbl

4:43 pm

Aloyisius

ok, time to do some maintenance.. poof!

4:45 pm

MollyL

You would be better off installing an Ad Blocker than doing C Cleaner on a repetitive basis.

4:48 pm

bichon

C Cleaner is a real pain. When I do it I have to reset all my passwords, etc

4:49 pm

MollyL

You shouldn't have to clean your C drive if you are regularly using virus and malware protection

4:49 pm

bichon

That's what Norton recommended

4:51 pm

bichon

I don't know if it's really true

it's am 4, i think....common word in babble....

9:41 pm

mkg

he is stable which is great. the largest live tumor he has is not growing much and so no surgery needed. and his fantastic physical therapist is doing miracles with his spine so that it is also stable. we are all very thankful for this. because he is so strong
(amazingly strong), he can do the exercises to have his muscles in back and chest hold him upright where the vertebrae are missing. we pray for continued "status quo". thanks for asking welki.

9:41 pm

Well, it's all a matter of being in the state you are in right now. I would have liked some things to happen differently, but they didn't happen that way. Right now, the people I care about -my kids, are near me, and I am happy with that. What has gone before is done, and where I go from here is my choice.
