No Liz....these kids are aged 12/13 and had to put together a package to help the community - because they are in a low socio environment, the kids came up with the idea of a home package for youngsters about to start school...the package includes pencils colouring books, sight cards etc.

200 down - time for a break. BBL
1:32 am
meliae
I think my new way of doing the grid makes it twice as hard, I start with the first tile and I cannot leave that tile until I find at least half the words.
1:33 am
melonheadjujube
My method is to get to nbt doing the tiles in order, left to right, top to bottom, only one word per tile, then proceed.
1:34 am
meliae
However I ca add words if theyare within that main word from that tile
1:35 am
melonheadjujube
Don't we luv to challenge ourselves (;
1:35 am
meliae
So I fill in some of the other words that way
1:36 am
meliae
I think I miss less words this way, than when I would jump all over the grid.
1:37 am
meliae
For the initial pass that is
1:38 am
melonheadjujube
Sometimes, tho, a word will jump at me, and I'll break that routine to seize the word.
1:39 am
meliae
Yes me too if its a big word I always grab those!
1:41 am
melonheadjujube
halfway and bedtime. laila tov! [poof]

church this morning. we had a soon-to-be five year old girl baptised. she was absolutely gorgeous.
2:09 am
sprite
aw how precious
2:10 am
grannyrose
our vicar made us all laugh. she was about to baptise her, and the little darling hid behind her mother. vicar said....you didn't tell me she was camera shy.
2:11 am
sprite
the night shift was interesting. Pretty intense too.
2:12 am
grannyrose
then came home and have not done very much except watch the BIG motorcycle race on the tv. my thoat is so sore from screaming. those riders have no sense whatsoever of danger.
2:13 am
sprite
at least you had a good time
2:13 am
grannyrose
what time did you actually "work"?
2:14 am
sprite
from 11 pm till 3 am. then home, got up at 6 to say goodbye to my girl who has left for england for a week, back to bed, to be awoken by my noisy husband at 8 am. Sigh.
2:15 am
grannyrose
oh you mean the fairy elephant you live with? his clone lives with me.
2:16 am

2:24 am

2:35 am
sprite
yeah, 3 hours of sleep will not cut it for me
2:36 am
grannyrose
i bet caya was excited this morning.
2:37 am
sprite
she was. She has a fear of flying, so it was extra stressful for her.
2:38 am
grannyrose
oh dear, not the best for her then. perhaps a few short trips which are uneventful will boost her confidence.
2:38 am
sprite
yeah I hope so too. I am proud of her she doesn't avoid it.
2:45 am
sprite
that works better without the space... sorry
2:46 am

I am lucky to have doctors who don't hesitate to give painkillers. They don't want me to have pain
8:19 am
rubyfoo
((crossy))
8:19 am
rubyfoo
And I'm very reswistant to the meds, so it takes a surprising amount to knock out the pain. With the amount of morphine I take, most people would sleep all the time
8:20 am
rubyfoo
I just can't drive safely because my distance perception is compromised and I'm a little bit wobbly
8:20 am
Anniebrook
ruby, I am so happy you have something that helps you with the pain.
8:22 am
rubyfoo
The location of the tumors is too central and I couldn't function with the kind of pain I had last winter with the wrong diagnosis and wrong meds
8:22 am
bichon
Hi ruby. Glad you are doing well, albeit, with pain
8:23 am
rubyfoo
hello, Bichon, the pain is under control and I can function pretty well, just not a lot of walking and nothing strenuous (no lifting because of the sternum)
8:24 am

And I love being in this big empty house!

I'm sure the ffemale will be disappointed as he was certainly said to be her Prince Charming

I agree ruby. Most dogs in the US are neutered

Maybe you can let him become a Dad and neuter him

He is just such a magnificent and unusual specimen and comes from a very distinguished champion family

No, I would never do that. His "coquilles" are lovely, big and black! lol

and hi again, back to finish up - had been wakened in the night by a local dog barking nonstop. He's tied up outside.
11:32 am
rururocks
Report them flosey. That is cruel
11:35 am
flosey
but he guards the chickens - a creek runs through our properties and mink, etc. occasionally come up and will kill chickens
11:38 am
rururocks
Are you saying that the mink stoll the chickens?
11:38 am
flosey
I turned on the outside lights just to be sure there wasn't a prowler - dog eventually stopped, may have been taken inside
11:39 am
flosey
mink will just kill as many as they can and leave them
11:39 am
rururocks
Wow why?
11:39 am
flosey
lol, never asked one
11:39 am
flosey
