12:41 am

flosey

thanks ru, found it

12:41 am

dcseain

Having grown up in a region that had no fewer than 5 wig shops, that's not a state to which i am accustomed. :) Thx for that, ru

12:42 am

rururocks

A little spritzing up flosey?

1:18 am

flosey

lol, I guess there's nothing there to damage?

1:18 am

flosey

remember son told me about a friend of his who put his keyboard in the dishwasher!!! can't imagine it getting that dirty

1:19 am

rururocks

When i do it. It just washes out the coolie crumbs

1:22 am

flosey

cookie?

1:24 am

Bugsaw

uusue, I am so sorry that Frank is getting sicker. Holding you both in the light of love and peace.

1:25 am

flosey

hi Bugsy

1:26 am

Bugsaw

hi flosey. Did you get some rain this weekend? We got a few drops but not enough to stop anything or help much.

1:26 am

flosey

yes we did, not as much as is needed for the gardens but much appreciated

1:27 am

flosey

true, our forests need a good soaking

1:28 am

Bugsaw

we need SO much more to even get to the roots of the plants

1:28 am

flosey

true

1:30 am

flosey

I have found so many of the odd words just by monkeying tonight

1:31 am

Bugsaw

that is a helpful clue in itself flosey, thanks

1:31 am

flosey

finally got the un7, really!! how does one do that

1:35 am

flosey

finally monkeyed no6!! and that's fw

1:36 am

flosey

I always use Lickety's list, wouldn't get very far without it

1:37 am

Bugsaw

well done flosey. Did you have to use the list tonight?

1:38 am

flosey

yes, Bugsey, always use it

1:39 am

Bugsaw

I wont use it until I at least half way and stuck. Most often I work until I am stuck and then call it a night. The next day I can see so many more.

1:39 am

flosey

it would take more time than I'm prepared to give, without the list

1:40 am

Bugsaw

good point. I don't play every day, especially when I am busy

1:41 am

flosey

I do play most days, unless away from here without access

1:41 am

Bugsaw

you are still much quicker than I to find words. Have a good day tomorrow

1:41 am

flosey

thanks, and you

1:42 am

flosey

can I offer any clues?

1:43 am

Bugsaw

something to help with the un word please.

1:44 am

flosey

it doesn't sound like good english, not open

1:44 am

flosey

how does one do that?

1:44 am

Bugsaw

thanks, now your earlier clue makes sense.

1:45 am

flosey

or, perhaps as not near?

1:51 am

flosey

I must get to bed, nice chatting

1:52 am

Bugsaw

good nite. I have 23 left for tomorrow which is a busy one for me

2:36 am

mrpresident

2:40 am

rolin

2:41 am

mrpresident

hi rolin! Oh no... listening to that would makes my teeth grind

2:41 am

mrpresident

and hi rolin! nice to see you

2:42 am

rolin

and you... i was like that til i saw the show... im cool with the word now...

2:43 am

mrpresident

ah so it softens the crassness of it... ?

2:46 am

rolin

it just logically presents the idea of ownership... how a word has been misappropriated... just another part of a woman being used to denegrate

2:47 am

rolin

its like when the phrase....you're such a girl.. is used... that really infuriates me

2:48 am

mrpresident

if someone called me a cu4, I would deck them!

2:48 am

rolin

i'll remember that...lol

3:59 am

mrpresident

i am actually going to need clues

4:13 am

mrpresident

oh hunny... hope you don't suffer too much

4:13 am

grannyrose

it should be interesting experience.....

4:14 am

grannyrose

and workcover have already sent back their approval for denervation of the nerve. * sigh *

4:15 am

mrpresident

I tend to think that it is an experiment more than anything... just be prepared for anything I guess :)

4:16 am

grannyrose

4:17 am

mrpresident

yes, make an appointment quick

5:24 am

5:24 am

sprite

hi sukee!

5:25 am

zoozzoom

Yes we have had rain rain winds more winds.And today it is blustery and cloudy.

5:25 am

sukee

Doing good, got kicked out of the bedroom last night :)

5:26 am

sukee

I also found an old tea bag on the bathroom floor :)

5:26 am

zoozzoom

Oh dear going for your feet and knocking things over were they..lol

5:26 am

sprite

hehehe they are feeling right at home

5:26 am

sukee

I forgot one of these cats can jump up on counters.

5:26 am

sukee

It was the feet especially.

5:27 am

sukee

I got so used to a cat who did not jump up that high.

5:27 am

zoozzoom

Don,t be fooled.All cats can jump so much higher than we think they can jump.

5:27 am

sukee

But, they both just came for cuddles after eating.

5:27 am

sprite

you're forgiven then, grin

5:27 am

grannyrose

cooee and g'day friends.

5:28 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend :)

5:28 am

zoozzoom

Hello, ((Rose))

5:28 am

sprite

how was your day?

5:29 am

sukee

I put out a couple of boxes for them and at least one was sleeping in one yesterday. I have to get something like a laser pointer to tire these guys out.

5:29 am

zoozzoom

Teehee good idea!

5:29 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} sprite. had my visit with the lawyer's orthopod. he was just lovely. he thinks that my perineal nerve has been damaged and wants me to have neurological exam and nerve conduction studies done.

5:30 am

sukee

I feel so much better having a cat (cats) back in my apartment.

5:30 am

grannyrose

hello zooz. g'day sukee

5:30 am

sukee

Hi Rose

5:30 am

sprite

oh, I had those for my feet. I think it is a great idea, rose.

5:30 am

sprite

oh I believe it, sukee. A home without pets can be so empty

5:32 am

grannyrose

and would you believe it? i received the letter from workcover approving the funds for the nerve denervation. so now i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.

5:32 am

sprite

first get the examination done, then progress, I think

5:34 am

grannyrose

my thoughts too. i want to know exactly which flipping nerve is giving me all this trouble.

5:35 am

sprite

yes, the examination will give you a lot more information and that can only be good for further treatment. Plus the neurologist can give you his/her take on denervation or other option.

5:36 am

grannyrose

oh that too. i hadn't thought of that.

5:37 am

rururocks

I think neorologists have a lot of nerve.

5:38 am

grannyrose

haha ruru. hello mate

5:38 am

sprite

always good to have around when in a pinch

5:38 am

sprite

and hiya ru

5:39 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Ruru :-)

5:43 am

rururocks

Hi mr. Z

5:45 am

zoozzoom

Ruru, I am guaranteed to at least laugh out loud when you are in the chat log with your sense of humour!

5:45 am

sukee

We just had a play round with leaping and jumping after a toy, now we are all tired out :)

5:45 am

sukee

All of us :) They are both stretched out on the floor.

5:46 am

rururocks

Cats wear me out too.

5:46 am

zoozzoom

Sprite have you heard of a dutch singer called 'Racoon'?

5:46 am

sukee

Tobey won't jump up on the windowsill but he can sure jump high after a toy.

5:46 am

sprite

they will be rested long before you

5:46 am

zoozzoom

Aww that is weet, Sukee.

5:47 am

sukee

I know, I know.

5:47 am

crosshair

Once you adjust to their schedule, sukee, things will be fine;)

5:47 am

sprite

I thought it was a band, zooz

5:48 am

zoozzoom

http://tinyurl.com/o23u4mc

5:48 am

zoozzoom

this is one of their songs.

5:49 am

zoozzoom

Oh you could well be right, Sprite.

5:50 am

sprite

nice sound, zooz

5:51 am

zoozzoom

Yes I think it is a very nice song too :-)

5:51 am

zoozzoom

I bet your daughter could sing it just as good too :-)

5:52 am

sprite

oh yes, indeed! I'll send her the link too, see if she likes it.

5:53 am

zoozzoom

If she does sing it and puts it on YT let me know.Would like to hear how it turns out.

5:55 am

zoozzoom

I think I have killed the chat log. Will try and get my last few words.

5:55 am

sprite

will sure do so :)

5:55 am

sprite

thanks for thinking of her

5:56 am

sprite

5:56 am

grannyrose

i must say ttfn my friends. i still have some paperwork to do for the occ. rehab. bloke tomorrow. * sigh * it would be such a help if my brain would stop shutting off.

5:56 am

sukee

I am actually looking for words :)

5:56 am

zoozzoom

LOL you are so funny ((Sprite))

5:56 am

crosshair

Crossy is back. Had to go feed the kitties and put the kettle on:)

5:56 am

zoozzoom

((Rose))

5:56 am

grannyrose

pfft, sprite. wanna swap. you do the paperwork.

5:56 am

sukee

I have learned, I have to feed the cats as soon as I get up :)

5:56 am

crosshair

tc ((rose))

5:56 am

sprite

your brain is shutting off because it is too much for you, rose. It is a signal that you are overly stressed again. *hugs* Love ya. Take care there.

5:57 am

crosshair

Your training is going well then, sukee:)

5:57 am

sprite

*grin*

5:57 am

sukee

Any stats for that U?

5:57 am

sprite

all I can say is, rose, I have been there too. It is a rotten place to be. Hold on, things will calm down in time.

5:57 am

grannyrose

xoxox. thanx sweetie. hope you all have a wonderful day/night. * pick the right answer*

5:58 am

zoozzoom

grannyrose

* poof * xoxox

5:58 am

crosshair

I have some nice half-and half for you zooz:)

5:59 am

crosshair

I do not keep skimmed milk in the house. Life is too short to be swilling that crap

6:00 am

zoozzoom

*Clink* cheers!

6:00 am

sukee

One cat, Damon, has claimed the window in my bedroom, he likes to sit up there and look out.

6:00 am

zoozzoom

Agreed. Might as well drink water.

6:00 am

sprite

aw that is sweet

6:00 am

crosshair

They will both end up with their favorite spots:) You bed is just one of them:)

6:01 am

sukee

The other won't or can't jump that high, they are quite high and he is quite small.

6:01 am

zoozzoom

The cats around here do the same, Sukee, in about six of the houses around here all have cats in the top window looking out..lol

6:01 am

crosshair

get them on of those kitty jungle gyms

6:01 am

crosshair

then he can climb up

6:01 am

sukee

They say the cats are 1 year old but the guy at the store where I picked them up thought they might be younger, I may agree.

6:01 am

sukee

Yes, I need to get something.

6:02 am

sukee

They came from the Humane Society but they spread their cats out all over the city.

6:02 am

crosshair

Ours foster out cats as well

6:02 am

zoozzoom

sprite, Do you have the le8?

6:02 am

sukee

Yes, that too.

6:03 am

sprite

yes I do. start with a name and end with male child

6:03 am

sukee

I thought of fostering but you need a vehicle.

6:03 am

sukee

And of all time for this, I don't have a working camera.

6:03 am

crosshair

Fostering is great but you have to have a strong heat to let go every month or so

6:03 am

zoozzoom

Oh yes! there it is.Thanks, Spritey!

6:03 am

crosshair

heart

6:04 am

sukee

Zooz; :P

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Same birthdate as another friend, Hurshy, so that is how I remember.

6:14 am

hurshy

sadly i am not really able to celebrate this year, in frantic moving prep mode, moving weds

6:14 am

sukee

It is still humid here, just emptied the cat box and I'm sweating buckets.

6:14 am

zoozzoom

Happy Birthday to You...Happy Birthday to You...Haaappppyy Biirrrthdaayy dear HURSHY..Happy Birthday tooo Yooouuuuu!

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Well, be grateful for another birthday. No need for a big celebration.

6:15 am

zoozzoom

Oh yes how is the packing going, Hurshy?

6:16 am

hurshy

it's going. it's more the fixings of things around the house that are a pain.

6:17 am

zoozzoom

Yes I can understand it is a nightmare trying to get everything done in a short space of time.Hope it all goes well for you though.

6:17 am

sukee

Moving is hard.

6:18 am

hurshy

could i get a U clue?

6:19 am

zoozzoom

UN+ not open

6:19 am

sukee

I am not moving for a while, possibly 2 years, but I just got rid of a bunch of junk that has been hanging around the house, old computers, a chewed chair, old microwave, etc. Feels great to unclutter like that.

6:19 am

sukee

Just called some guys and they came within 3 hours and did all the work :) I didn't cost that much either.

6:20 am

hurshy

thanks

6:20 am

crosshair

It would take me 2 years to unclutter...

6:20 am

zoozzoom

Welcome :-)

6:20 am

MollyL

Happy Birthday Hursh. Hope you get a chance to take a break from the packing and celebrate yourself.

6:20 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Molly :-)

6:20 am

MollyL

Hi Zoom

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Me too, Crossy.

6:21 am

hurshy

so you know how a lot of adults became sick of the song "let it go" because their kids watched/listened to it so much? well my niece sang it (shouted it) all the time before i ever saw frozen. but then since i've seen it, i just love it. it like, brings tears to my eyes when i listen to it.

6:21 am

sukee

Ty for the U clue, just could not see it.

6:22 am

zoozzoom

That is sweet, Hurshy :-)

6:22 am

Scrabbler

I haven't seen the movie.

6:22 am

hurshy

it's really good scrabbler

6:22 am

zoozzoom

I watched despicable me on TV the other day and nearly cried at the end..how sad am I..lol

6:23 am

Scrabbler

I read a children's book, well, my friend's daughter showed it to me so I learned who the characters are.

6:23 am

Scrabbler

*the Frozen book is what I mean

6:24 am

rubyfoo

He got home at 12:45, to that's iyt for the day care!!

6:24 am

zoozzoom

Oh dear ((Ruby)) sorry to hear that.

6:24 am

hurshy

well it will be interesting to see how i hold up today. didn't get much sleep, i guess i'm just having too much moving-adrenaline

6:25 am

rubyfoo

I was still reading to my son after hw already knew how (it was a nice moment before sleep time) AND WHEN WE READ cHARLOTTE'SS wEB, I WAS CRYING SO HARD AT THE END, THAT HE READ IT TO ME.

6:25 am

zoozzoom

Maybe try and get some power naps in, Hurshy.That might help.

6:25 am

rubyfoo

Sorry about the caps but HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HURSHJY in caps anyway

6:25 am

sukee

Taking a break, time for breakfast.

6:25 am

hurshy

lol thanks ruby

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Cute story RUby.

6:32 am

rubyfoo

my I have the stats for the 8, pls?

6:32 am

zoozzoom

LE 8/60

6:33 am

hurshy

so i got the un7 from the clue, can someone tell me about the other 7's?

6:33 am

zoozzoom

HA 7/32 get strapped in?

6:34 am

hurshy

thanks

6:34 am

rubyfoo

nice clue, ty

6:34 am

zoozzoom

Wi7 could wear a toupee but have non??

6:35 am

hurshy

lol thanks

6:35 am

zoozzoom

:-)

6:35 am

rubyfoo

cute

6:37 am

bichon

Hi ruby, hurshy, zooz

6:37 am

Scrabbler

Ty for those clues

6:38 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Bichon :-)

6:38 am

bichon

hi Scrabs

6:39 am

bichon

ha 7/32, sorry, didn't understand the clue

6:39 am

MollyL

Ruby, any chance you can still keep giving the day care a try? Maybe it will take him a week or so to acclimate.

6:39 am

hurshy

a horse wears a ha7

6:40 am

bichon

ty hurshy

6:40 am

hurshy

and it makes me cry when Matthew Cuthbert is dying and says he'd rather drop in ha7...

6:40 am

rubyfoo

no, they won't accept him a third time

6:40 am

MollyL

Well that is unfortunate. It usually takes elders a while to get used to that kind of situation.

6:41 am

rubyfoo

We took him there once for le***ing ther place and twice for lunch, but it was worse this time than the last.

6:42 am

rubyfoo

and no9w that he's home, all he can say is that I don't love him any more. He takes no responsibility

6:42 am

zoozzoom

I agree, Molly. They should be understanding of his problems and realize it will take time for him to settle into a routine.

6:42 am

rubyfoo

I've explained that if I have to be admitted to the hospital, even over night, it would be a good place to ave available.

6:43 am

MollyL

But Ruby, if you have to be in the hospital, he will need round the clock care.

6:44 am

rubyfoo

They can't devote their whole time to one recalcitrant patient. It's a really nice, attractive placer and right in our village

6:44 am

rubyfoo

Yes, I know that

6:44 am

MollyL

I'm sorry you have all this to be concerned about on top of your health issues. It's too much for one person.

6:44 am

rubyfoo

I'm trying to get his daughter to come, but her broken toee prevents it!

6:45 am

ivesy3

ruby dont mean to sound cruel, but he needs to be in a nursing home.he is too much for you to handle at this time

6:46 am

rubyfoo

It's going to take the police or something to get him out of here

6:47 am

ivesy3

if his daughter is against it. let her take care of him. my brother had to make that decision with my mother.. she was getting to hard to take care of.she hates it but she is there

6:47 am

MollyL

Ruby it is better that you make decisions about his care now, while you can. If you get too sick to do that it will be up to people who don't know and love him.

6:48 am

ivesy3

all i heard was how hard it ws to take care of her. and i didnt do enuff.. kept telling them to place her in home.. they finally did.. course i am the bad daughter but hey i can live with it

6:49 am

rubyfoo

The physical reality of moving him from one place to another is, in itself overwhelming. It's not like I feel guilty or anythingh

6:50 am

MollyL

Well, generally you decide on a care place and they assist in making the transition. And the move doesn't have to happen all at once.

6:50 am

rubyfoo

His daughter likes to visit, but I think it's because 1) I pay for the ticket and 2) she enjoys hanging out with me. I'm not sure she cares about her father

6:51 am

MollyL

Ivesy, you are not the bad daughter. That is a hard decision to make, but the time comes when it is time to make it. You did what was best for your Mom.

6:52 am

rubyfoo

Molly, that was the idea of having him go there for two afternoons (plus lunch); it's the same place, but a different section. And it's lovely, set on top of a local mountain with a splendid view of the lake, etc.

6:52 am

MollyL

Ruby if that is the case with his daughter, I think waiting around for her to come and make decisions is not the best idea.

6:52 am

rubyfoo

No, but she is big and strong and could take some of the physical burden off me

6:53 am

MollyL

I see Ruby. But once you have placed him in a full time nursing facility, they can't send him home.

6:53 am

ivesy3

i thought so molly. but all i heard was i didnt go see her enuf...blah blah blah.. like that was going to change anything...they dont know how she was to me growin up.. i dont forget that.. i sound cruel but my mother was very mean to me , and later to me and my son when we were struggling..

6:53 am

ivesy3

molly is right ruby. u start the process. then they take it from there..and they cant say they wont keep him

6:54 am

rubyfoo

I think I'll call his gp today and start the process that way since my "easy" way was a flop

6:55 am

MollyL

That is a good idea Ruby. It always feels good to take a "step in the direction of".

6:55 am

zoozzoom

((Ruby)) I tink you are making the right choice in doing so.

6:55 am

ivesy3

wonderful ruby!! you take care of you..

6:55 am

zoozzoom

Think*

6:56 am

MollyL

Ivesy, I'm sorry to hear about the relationship between you and your Mom. That kind of thing leaves it's mark on you long after it is over.

6:56 am

rubyfoo

thank you all for your support and for listening to my endless whining. I just want to be well again, even if I have to take the meds forever. At leastmaybe there's a forever!

6:57 am

ivesy3

ty molly.. it does... some people just dont get it..but i survive !! off to get ready for work.. and as ruby says thanks for listening to me whine...

6:57 am

rubyfoo

I'm sorry about your relationship with your mother, Ivesy. Burt was crippled by his passive-aggressive mother. I guess that's why he's been married so many times.

6:58 am

rubyfoo

No no Ivesy, I'm the "WHINE QUEEN"

6:58 am

zoozzoom

I am more than happy to listen to problems babblers have.I have vented mine enough times too :-)

6:59 am

MollyL

Girls, girls, there is room for two of you. : D
Ruby, passive aggressive people are master manipulators. It often takes a great deal of therapy to get over a relationship with one of them.

6:59 am

zoozzoom

LOL

6:59 am

rubyfoo

AND HE'S NEVER HAD ANY THERAPY BUT HAS CERTAINLY LEARNED THE P-A TECHNIQUES!

6:59 am

zoozzoom

To the first part, Molly :-)

7:01 am

MollyL

Wow Ruby, you probably didn't know it at the time, but you got a lot of emotional baggage with him when you married him, huh?

... phantom ... very rude Quebecois word that you would never say anywhere around your mother in the grid ... ... but the dictionary won't accept it ... darn

2:00 pm

dcseain

i saw that too, doseffing. It's really no worse than many of the words the dictionary already accepts. :)

2:01 pm

doseffing

... well I might let a "merde" slip around my grandmother but I'd never let the c-word go ...

2:03 pm

dcseain

i learnt SO many vulgar things from my mother, her mother, and her mother.

2:04 pm

dcseain

So my inhibitions about such language are lower than average.

2:04 pm

... yeah but I'm absolutely pur laine french catholic on my mother's mother's side ... I'd never get out of purgatory ...

i went to a Catholic funeral mass last week. It was fascinating and utterly weird. I viewed the mass rather analytically.

2:11 pm

hego

You forgot medieval.

2:13 pm

dcseain

well, i've been to a lot of Anglican Catholic/high church Episcopal, which is 16th century. The Roman Catholic liturgy has evolved more than the Anglican one. The Roman one creeps me out. The Anglican one does not.

2:13 pm

doseffing

... got raised on my father's side ... middle church Anglicans (i.e. Episcopalian) ... lived in a Catholic college at university (it was least expensive) ... except that the Catholics were asking for blessings on the pope and the college of cardinals instead of the queen and the royal family and they burned more incence ... didn't notice that much of a difference ... I could follow right along ... married a Catholic ... there are relatives from my father's parent's generation who are gonna be pleased to watch me burn in hell

2:14 pm

hego

The waving of incense burners creeps a lot of people out.

2:15 pm

hego

It scared the heck out of my Jewish husband.

2:16 pm

dcseain

i was raised w/out church at the intersection of Lutheran, Methodist, Sephardism, and native american (Delaware). End result, i have nothing in terms of religion, with a highly syncretic deism.

2:16 pm

dcseain

i like the incense/censors a lot.

2:16 pm

the smoke always makes me cough.

Car will be paid off before Christmas so will have extra money next summer so planning a trip to DC or Vermont

Oh good for you. Sounds like fun. I hope the car doesn't start eating up your money in repairs once it is paid off. That has happened to me, alas.

4:11 pm

OH that happened spring break lol

4:12 pm

I've been going through a bad spate of home repairs. One thing right after another. The plumber comes tomorrow.

Im sorry its rough I know.. plumber came last week,and again last month. and now the dryer isnt working...

nope definitely not!

4:53 pm

cosdem

Ah nice they pay up to 150.00 for glasses..thats new.

4:54 pm

MollyL

Health insurance coverage exhausts me. You have to go to their doctors, jump through their hoops if you have a special problem, and you pay and pay and pay.

4:55 pm

cosdem

Adding a spouse skyrockets the cost too., ridiculous

5:13 pm

You are lucky you don't have kids. You should see what that does to the cost.

i've never had them side by side, so really can't say - i'd bet that there are differences, though

one thing I really really love about summer is this time when the farm stands REALLY get cranking, and there is just so much wonderful local produce around
