zoozzoom

Hello, Sprite :-)

4:12 am

sprite

hi zooz :) How are you this fine morning, dear man?

4:12 am

zoozzoom

Haha I have just this second sent you an email!

4:12 am

sprite

oh wow :D

4:12 am

zoozzoom

I am well thanks. How are you fairing?

4:13 am

sprite

pretty well, thanks. Bit of a bumpy night with bad dreams, but otherwise all good! Thanks for your email :)

4:14 am

zoozzoom

I am afraid I can not tell you about my dream..just say it was not unpleasant..lol Not often I have those types of dreams.

4:15 am

sprite

*giggles* good for you! Enjoy the afterglow :)

4:17 am

zoozzoom

I do hate those bad ones though so hugs to you for your bad night. How was your husbands vacation? Did he have a great time?

4:18 am

sprite

thanks for the hugs. Yes, Rob had a wonderful time. He very much enjoyed the alone time and all. Even the fighting against the weather some days did him good. He is much more relaxed now and happier.

4:19 am

zoozzoom

that is good to hear. Sometimes it does not matter what the weather is doing, like you said just the 'me' time is all that is needed to recharge the batteries :-)

4:21 am

zoozzoom

I really shoud invest in a thermal cup. My cup of tea seems to go cold to quick whilst looking for words.

4:21 am

sprite

exactly. He is much happier now :)

4:21 am

sprite

they aren't too expensive, I think. Sounds like a good investment.

4:22 am

zoozzoom

Have you prepared a to do list ready for your main day?

4:22 am

sprite

lol yes indeed I have! Made a list of things I should bring to the hospital.

4:23 am

zoozzoom

You are so organized, Sprite. I would probably leave it til the day before then rush around like mad..lol

4:25 am

sprite

a tad OCD, I guess, lol. I have a folder that contains every bit of paper that concerns my operation. The people in the hospital were totally happy with me, hahaha.

4:26 am

zoozzoom

I bet it made a change for them to have it all in order for them.save them a lot of time too..lol

4:26 am

zoozzoom

I just looked.rose is online but probably doing jigidi..lol

4:27 am

sprite

that is what they said... they said they should give each new patient a folder from the start, lol.

4:27 am

sprite

yeah, rose is always off chasing squirrels... she will look in at some point and join us :D

4:28 am

zoozzoom

Looks like you have changed hospital policy already hahaha!

4:28 am

sprite

lollll

4:28 am

zoozzoom

Harpjane will be happy.There are animals in the grid :-)

4:29 am

sprite

I found a feline, for starters.

4:29 am

zoozzoom

Me too!

4:30 am

sprite

how are your parents doing, zooz?

4:31 am

zoozzoom

I keep trying 'Tiara'

4:31 am

sprite

same here. Darn phantom

4:31 am

zoozzoom

They are doing well thanks, Sprite.Dad is always puffed out and tired.

4:31 am

grannyrose

whoot!!! here i am. {{hugs}} and good morning sprite and zooz. * guilty as charged*

4:31 am

zoozzoom

it was my youngest sisters birthday yesterday.

4:32 am

sprite

poor man. Does he know what causes it?

4:32 am

zoozzoom

LOL how is jigidi, rose..Teehee

4:32 am

sprite

and there she is :) Hello rose *hugs* good to see you, dear friend. How are you coping today?

4:32 am

grannyrose

fascinating, thanx zooz. ;-P

4:32 am

zoozzoom

Yeah old age I think, sprite. Not had an easy upbringing.

4:32 am

sprite

ah, gratulations on your sister's birthday.

4:33 am

sprite

not an easy thing then, zooz.

4:33 am

zoozzoom

My sister is also expecting another baby!

4:33 am

grannyrose

too cold to do much other than computer stuff.sitting in our bed-sit area with heater on full.

4:34 am

sprite

woweeeee! Good news, zooz!

4:34 am

zoozzoom

No not for him Sprite. He does not take kindly to old age at all.

4:34 am

sprite

brrrrr rose, not comfortable for you.

4:34 am

zoozzoom

I hate winter time so much, Rose. Keep those extra layers on!

4:34 am

sprite

quite a tough battle, zooz :(

4:35 am

zoozzoom

It is for all of us really, Sprite.We love him dearly but man does he moan about being old and not able to do what he used to do.

4:35 am

grannyrose

i am still trying to balance meds so that i can walk without back spasm. tomoorow i am going to take magnesium, 2mg valium and a brufen when i wake up.

4:35 am

sprite

best way to stay warm is to move... but our rose cannot move without pain so that is a no-go

4:36 am

sprite

yeah, not easy to handle for you all, zooz.

4:36 am

sprite

sounds like a plan, rose. Looks good to me.

4:37 am

zoozzoom

Have you thought about a wheelchair for really bad days, Rose, or is that a backward step?

4:37 am

grannyrose

hey sprite!! have you got your bag packed ready for hospital yet?

4:37 am

sprite

lollll almost, rose! I made a list, for starters.

4:38 am

grannyrose

zooz. wheelchair for when i simply cannot stand up.

4:38 am

grannyrose

yay sprite ! good start.

4:38 am

zoozzoom

Sprite has made a list a mile long, Rose in readiness for the hospital stay.Her husband is going to be busy..lol

4:39 am

grannyrose

*giggle* does the list wheels for his feet?

4:39 am

sprite

roflolllll actually a very short list... I am pretty good at leaving out non-essentials. It is only for one day, so I don't need much

4:40 am

sprite

I had to buy myself a nightgown, since I usually sleep in the nude. Washed it already, so it can be packed now.

4:40 am

zoozzoom

Yeah yeah they all say that Spritey but once you ladies get pampered there is no stopping you all.Grapes for Monday at 10:23am...foot massage for 11:00am etc

4:40 am

grannyrose

ahhh the optimist. me?? even if it is for day only, i take everything....meds, clothes, toiletries, etc. i leave it all in the car. that way i don't have to rely on don to pack my bags... lolll

4:41 am

sprite

hehehe zooz, that is not me :D

4:41 am

zoozzoom

I must admit to not wearing anything in bed.I find it so restricting.And clothes go in olaces I do not want them to go..lol

4:42 am

grannyrose

when i was in with the hepatitis, i asked for some more knickers. he brought in pairs which are nearly ready for dusters. skipped right over my pretty new stuff.

4:42 am

zoozzoom

rose takes a couple of suitcases with her for a day stay in hospital..lol

4:42 am

sprite

well I am bringing meds, clean underwear and toothbrush and -paste, of course.

4:42 am

zoozzoom

LOl typical man, Rose teehee!

4:42 am

grannyrose

and your point is????

4:43 am

zoozzoom

Never know what you might need? rose :-)

4:43 am

sprite

he just didn't want you to flash your pretty undies to strangers, rose

4:43 am

grannyrose

well yeah. .i pack for every contingency.

4:43 am

zoozzoom

lol

4:44 am

grannyrose

but i drew the line at crutches/sling/knuckle dusters

4:45 am

zoozzoom

Good grief..lol

4:45 am

rururocks

Gives a whole new meaning to Victoria's secret

4:45 am

sprite

well that's a start. You may want to leave out the swimming wear and running shoes too, rose

4:45 am

sprite

hiya ru

4:45 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Ruru :-)

4:46 am

grannyrose

WHAT??!!?? no roller blades ??olbut how do i beat the 90 year old on a walking frame to the loo?

4:46 am

zoozzoom

hahaha! I like that one, Rose!

4:46 am

sprite

bring tena ladies instead, lol, and take your time.

4:47 am

grannyrose

g'day ruru

4:49 am

zoozzoom

What are the hospital food like in your country, Sprite.People complain about the food service here for the NHS?

4:49 am

zoozzoom

is not are?

4:50 am

sprite

this hospital has pretty good food. I won't partake of it though, lol.

4:50 am

grannyrose

pack the vitamiser sprite. even picnic bars can be drunk that way... lolll

4:51 am

zoozzoom

Well no of course I knew that...but just wondered.

4:52 am

sprite

I have a simple solution for the liquid diet, tbh. We are making soups the next few weeks, and freeze in small portions. That will be dinner. For the rest, yoghurt will have to do the trick.

4:53 am

zoozzoom

Live yoghurt is really nice!

4:53 am

grannyrose

sprite, do you have rennin tablets over there to make junket with?

4:54 am

sprite

now I have to look up rennin and junket

4:54 am

grannyrose

*giggles* yoghurt : look out!! she's taken the lid off!! oh no!! she has a spoon! doesn't she look mean with that.

4:54 am

zoozzoom

Curdle curdle

4:55 am

zoozzoom

hehehe I could just imagine it, Rose....NO!!!! she is going to kill us!!!!

4:57 am

sprite

sprite the yoghurt killer

4:57 am

grannyrose

when you do sprite, you make the junket, of course using sweetener instead. also make a low calorie jelly at the same time. when they are both set, use equal amount of each, blend together and let set again. you then have a delicious low calorie dessert which tastes like a fruit fizzy candy.

4:58 am

sprite

sounds good, rose. Not sure we have those tablets here though. Let me check

5:00 am

sprite

nope. But no problem, we have very good fresh yoghurt in the stores here.

5:02 am

zoozzoom

Glad there is not a gerund in the grid today.Otherwise, ruru would of had a field day with the word DO7

5:02 am

sprite

we can't even ask for hi4s for this gr4

5:02 am

sprite

lol zooz!

5:03 am

zoozzoom

A bit naughty of me....Sorry But could not resist it.

5:03 am

sprite

naughty is good

5:04 am

zoozzoom

Has your son gone to uni yet, Sprite?

5:04 am

grannyrose

5:05 am

sprite

5:05 am

5:05 am

zoozzoom

5:05 am

hi ru

9:15 am

jmcnrick

i was called by the 25 hours service center of Windows about an "error" report on my computer. . . .

9:16 am

jmcnrick

i played with the guy like a cat for a while. . .had him excited and confused and then. . . i got bored and told him i was not an idiot and don't call me again. . .

9:17 am

jmcnrick

sometimes i ask the guys if they are proud of themselves for trying to scam old people. . .but i didn't even feel enough affinity with this guy to do that. . .

9:24 am

cybernan

When they call me, I get a phone number to call them back, then e-mail the information to the RCMP fraud centre.

9:25 am

cybernan

9:27 am

therealblah

9:27 am

jmcnrick

9:28 am

cybernan

I guess when you reapply a non slip surface you do not regr4 it

9:28 am

Anniebrook

I always ask them if anyone calls them about a problem with their computer.

9:28 am

therealblah

i downloaded windows 10 the other day and they want you to allow MS to monitor everything you do (i declined...)

9:29 am

jmcnrick

i am about to download it but my son already warned me about opting out. . . .

9:30 am

jmcnrick

i bought a new computer and its windows system doesn't have a start menu (or at least it is not easily accessible) so Windows 10 will be needed to solve that particular problem...

9:30 am

cybernan

windows 8.1 wanted to control that too no way am I going to sign in to everything using my windows account!

9:30 am

therealblah

yeah windows 8 was horrible.

9:31 am

jmcnrick

4:09 pm

crosshair

"Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before." -- Jacob Riis

Falling off your bike as an adult is a whole different thing than it was when you fell off your bike as a kid. We elders are less resilient.

Something got caught in my spokes, so it was not a sideway fall, it was an over the handlebars fall

7:33 pm

Molly, may I suggest that you put your humourous explanation in the same grid box as the first comment? On its own, it sounded like you were being critical.

7:34 pm

Clue for GE 5/16 please?

7:35 pm

Well, yeah, I always "sound like I'm being critical" here. But Cos gets my humor.

Hi Stid!

Thanks Cos, I was pretty sure you got it. Funny how when Ru makes comments like that, he doesn't get called out for being "critical".

7:38 pm

Bugsaw

Hi stid!

7:39 pm

Bugsaw

Because he explains that it is meant to be humourous.

7:40 pm

Bugsaw

I amwell now that I have a day off from working at the Walking With Our Sisters exhibit. It is so good. I wish you and car could just pop up to see it.

7:41 pm

stidmama

I am taking a few minutes before I get ready for rehearsal. I predicted this week would be overly busy and it is... but I think a BIG push tomorrow at school and I can take three days "off" to refocus on house things. Trying to get all the cleaning/arranging/shopping done before the end of next week so I can relax for a few days with a clear conscience.

7:41 pm

Bugsaw

When does school start for you stid?

7:41 pm

stidmama

I see the exhibit goes until the 15th... *thinking*

how are things going in the new house?

7:42 pm

stidmama

Kids in seats on Sept. 2, Aug 31-Sept 1 mandatory on campus days. The week before is an optional week, but there are three days (usually) that they will pay extra if I am there. :-D And I can use the "exposure" to the other teachers.

7:43 pm

stidmama

(((TO!!)))

Things are getting better as I have been able to go through 2/3 of the boxes from the fire. We finally have room to swing a (small) cat -- if I did things like that and weren't allergic to cats... LOL

7:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

no cat swinging. please.

7:45 pm

stidmama

It's nice, really -- the yard is so dry because of the drought. I don't like to water anything except the few beds I put veggies and tender perennials. The annuals didn't make it... so thinking about ways to make next year

7:45 pm

stidmama

next year's garden more self-sufficient in terms of water.

7:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

we are dry as well.

7:46 pm

Bugsaw

the 15th is the last day when there will be closing ceremonies in both the west coast and the plains traditions. I will be a greeter that day. Beginning the next day we (volunteers) begin the take down and packing up. You could sit in a chair to help with that if you want.

7:47 pm

Bugsaw

My trees are suffering with the drought and watering restrictions.

7:47 pm

stidmama

Have to be here on the 16th. promised Grant we'd do something. But I will check my schedule and let you know.

Hi all.

8:09 pm

Lizlin

Just made granola - drying out in the oven.

8:10 pm

Lizlin

Hi Sukee. How are the little ones?

8:10 pm

sukee

Great, running around chasing a ball and each other right now.

8:10 pm

Lizlin

Cute. Have you adjusted to having them around?

8:11 pm

sukee

Yes, it hasn't been too bad. I just have to make sure nothing is left on the counter overnight. I do have to lock them out of the bedroom at night but they seem fine with that.

8:11 pm

Lizlin

Sounds just right :)

8:12 pm

MollyL

Homemade granola is so much better than the packaged stuff.

8:12 pm

Lizlin

I love the photo of them - which is which?

8:12 pm

sukee

Damon is the grey one and Tobey is the black one.

8:13 pm

Lizlin

I agree Molly - also other than pine nuts and ground almonds, I avoid nuts because I'm slightly nut sensitive.

8:14 pm

Lizlin

so I pile in loads of fruit.

8:15 pm

MollyL

The homemade stuff just tastes so much better than what you can buy in the store.

8:16 pm

Lizlin

Especially when just made and it's so easy to make too.

8:16 pm

sukee

It was cute with the cats earlier, they were sleeping on the couch and Damon had his arm around Tobey.

8:17 pm

MollyL

I have a friend who makes granola and gives it out as holiday gifts to co-workers.

Very cute.
