2:55 am

grannyrose

sprite please shut your eyes. ;-)

2:55 am

sprite

ugh

2:56 am

grannyrose

gran, is it possible you can give sprite a few minutes to have a go first?

2:57 am

gran

OK

2:59 am

grannyrose

sprite, i'm glad that cartoon made you laugh. i nearly laughed myself silly when i saw it. and you the first person i thought of....lolll

3:04 am

grannyrose

gran, sh7. not he + i am going to *** my slippers to put on + high scoring tile

3:06 am

sprite

*reopens chatter box* coast clear yet?

3:07 am

sprite

ughhhh no smack in the middle of the clue. I was gone for 10 mins!

3:07 am

grannyrose

*giggle* i bett you already have it anyway

3:07 am

sprite

nope I didn't. do now. Thanks, I guess.

3:08 am

grannyrose

i'm sorry sweetie. i tried to give you some time to find it yourself.

3:08 am

mattygroves

Good morning campers! How is everyone?

3:09 am

sprite

lol, I am just reading it. And I was already gone and thought 10 mins should be enough.

3:09 am

sprite

hiya matty :) All good here.

3:09 am

grannyrose

morning matty.

3:09 am

grannyrose

good here. had magnesium infusion yesterday.

3:10 am

sprite

muntate - to make coins change shape or value

3:10 am

mattygroves

I'm ok except for a toothache :( Rose, what does a magnesium infusion do? Apart from infuse magnesium, obviously...?

3:10 am

sprite

ouch matty, that sucks. Any clove oil handy?

3:11 am

grannyrose

it calms my muscles which quiver all the time. (i have fibromyalgia) the quivering cause some really bad spasms and cramps.

3:11 am

mattygroves

No :( I've taken ibuprofen so we'll see

3:11 am

mattygroves

Ouch Rose! I hope the infusion helps

3:11 am

mattygroves

Does anyone have the stats for the U?

3:12 am

sprite

not yet, it is a little stubborn

3:12 am

Lizlin

us 5/12 us 6/21

3:12 am

Lizlin

Just popped back to say hi and hugs :)

3:13 am

sprite

Liz! *hugs* and hi, to you both :)

3:13 am

sprite

how is your body? All on the mend?

3:13 am

grannyrose

sprite?? oh for goodness sake. stop answering my question before i ask it. *rolls eyes*

3:13 am

sprite

lol

3:13 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} lizgirl

3:13 am

Lizlin

Slowly - still sore.

3:13 am

Lizlin

How are you all?

3:14 am

sprite

those deep bruises are nasty. What helps is a deep massage... hurts like hell, but shortens the sore period by 2/3 at least.

3:14 am

Lizlin

Sneezing last night didn't help at all :(

3:14 am

sprite

I am fine, thanks.

3:14 am

grannyrose

much better here. had my first infusion of magnesium in doc.'s new rooms.

3:14 am

sprite

ugh sneezing when in pain... not fun

3:15 am

gran

Thanks for that clue I would never have found that word without your help

3:15 am

Lizlin

That's good Rose - hope this will be the beginning of regularly feeling better.

3:15 am

sprite

a working knowledge of yiddish really helps in babble

3:16 am

grannyrose

doc. had to rush off to theatre before it was finished. he asked me to show his receptionist how to remove the cannula. afterwards she said i was a great teacher.

3:16 am

grannyrose

yw gran

3:16 am

Lizlin

True but I'd never have spelt it that way - Diz saying it was Yiddish made me look for it.

3:16 am

mattygroves

Thanks for the Us. More strange words

3:16 am

sprite

lol! Ok, watch my prediction: in a year Rose will have the keys to his office and is free to infuse herself with whatever she needs whenever she wants

3:17 am

Lizlin

lol - you could be right there :)

3:17 am

Lizlin

yw matty

3:17 am

Lizlin

Have you heard from your travelling daughter?

3:18 am

sprite

only the first 2 days. She was having a grand time.

3:18 am

Lizlin

Speaking English, i hope.

3:18 am

Lizlin

So happy she's enjoying herself.

3:18 am

sprite

only english :)

3:19 am

Lizlin

Is she getting to see any of the country?

3:19 am

sprite

tomorrow she will move to a daughter of a friend/colleage of the people she is staying with now. The girl wants to show her around, and is born and raised english.

3:19 am

grannyrose

sprite do you think lizgirl would appreciate my cartoon?

3:19 am

Lizlin

BTW Sprite - thanks for the email - will answer sometime soon. I also owe Pugs and email - not feeling much like writing.

3:19 am

sprite

I think she will love it, rose :)

3:20 am

Lizlin

That'lll be great for her.

3:20 am

sprite

take your time, Liz, whenever you feel like it will be soon enough. *hugs* (gentle ones)

3:21 am

Lizlin

Appreciate the gentle hugs

3:21 am

sprite

*grins* Yeah, squeezing you is out for now.

3:21 am

Lizlin

Pretty fed up really - it's been over a week. I want to stop hurting. I don't like hurting!!!!!

3:22 am

sprite

hurting sucks. It takes a truckload of energy. Be nice to yourself, Liz. It takes time to recover and lots of energy, even though nothing much shows on the outside.

3:23 am

Lizlin

That's true. We've taken it very easy today and not too bad yesterday either. Haven't even thought about going to the gym and won't before next week at the earliest.

3:23 am

grannyrose

btw, lizgirl, be warned. if you feel the urge to laugh, try holding your sides for support. email sent.* grin *

3:23 am

Lizlin

Didn't even walk today. Walked 5 km on Monday and felt it on Tuesday :(

3:23 am

sprite

very smart. Walking would be good, though. Calm pace, no pushing it.

3:23 am

Lizlin

I do Rose, I do! Can't avoid laughing here though.

3:24 am

sprite

and lollll NOT 5 km! Half a km maybe.

3:24 am

grannyrose

just remember when you read my email.

3:25 am

sprite

omg I found the at the ocean word for once.

3:25 am

Lizlin

Loved it Rose - it arrived really quickly - unlike the one I sent to sprite last week.

3:25 am

grannyrose

yay sprite. that is one i miss so many times. it's a real palm/forehead moment isn't it?

3:25 am

Lizlin

Me too - found that ocean word. I also always miss arena - but found that yesterday (or whenever it was)

3:25 am

sprite

yeah that one got lost in cyberspace. No explanation for that.

3:26 am

sprite

it is, rose. I can't understand why my brain refuses to spot it.

3:26 am

Lizlin

OK - time to love you and leave you - only popped in to say hi! Finished this grid quite a while ago. Look after yourselves and hugs. Ouch - coughing fit!

3:27 am

sprite

love you right back, Liz. All the best. *hugs*

9:05 pm

stidmama

(((hugs all))) *relurk*

9:06 pm

Bugsaw

hugs back attcha. I think I am invisible even when in the chog now stid

9:06 pm

jmcnrick

nope i sees you right there bugs

9:07 pm

Bugsaw

glad you do jmc, I think of you often and hope you are well

9:07 pm

jmcnrick

it's been kinda a rough year with either too much work or not enough. . . but i survives

9:08 pm

Bugsaw

you are a survivor, for sure. I am sorry about the work situation. I find an unstable paycheque disconcerting.

9:10 pm

jmcnrick

well being more or less self employed (being the boss of a non-profit has some of the same issues) i am used to unstable but then I had more control. . . .now i am at the mercy of others. . . .being a contract worker is perhaps the worst of all possible worlds. . . but it keeps the wolf from the door

9:11 pm

Bugsaw

and you are close to being able to collect a pension which will give you something for the work to subsidize. I am waiting for that day myself.

9:11 pm

jmcnrick

9:12 pm

Bugsaw

9:13 pm

Bugsaw

good to chat with you again but I must be off. Called for supper. Can I wear my star at the table?

9:13 pm

jmcnrick

hi nef!

9:14 pm

Nef

bye Bugs Enjoy your supper!

9:14 pm

Nef

Hi jmc; how are you lately?

9:14 pm

jmcnrick

i think it is acceptable table manners to wear a newly won star. . . but not for breakfast because that is too long. . .

9:14 pm

jmcnrick

bye bugs

9:15 pm

jmcnrick

how's life treating you nef? I haven't seen you in an age

9:15 pm

Nef

(GEEZ! For some reason I have to hit "enter" to chat tonight - just like always; but I'm forgetting to do it)

9:16 pm

jmcnrick

haha i forgets things like that too. . .

9:16 pm

rururocks

*worries about players*

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

what is worse is that i got a new computer with a touch screen and so i spend even more time than i did before trying to get my old computer to respond to my fingertips. . .

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

how sweet of you to worry ru!

9:17 pm

Nef

it's "okay;" I'm having a total knee replacement in 3 weeks & DH has been in & out of the hospital again. But we're doing okay for all of that.

9:17 pm

jmcnrick

i was already trying to get the non-existent touch screen on my old computer to work because of my smartish phone. . .

9:17 pm

Nef

LOL, jmc! DH has a touch screen now too & he can't remember how to use it half the time

9:18 pm

Nef

hi ruru; how are your knees doing these days?

9:18 pm

jmcnrick

well i can use the touch pad or the screen except some things work better with one method and some with the other. . .

9:19 pm

jmcnrick

having or had nef? Should you be asleep on the operating table?

9:19 pm

Nef

I like the keyboard; but I like the tablet with a touch screen too.

9:19 pm

rururocks

knee is ok.. I haven't been begging as of late

9:20 pm

stidmama

*gently sets nef in PB (see 9:15) -- with MJCL*

9:20 pm

rururocks

9:20 pm

rururocks

9:21 pm

jmcnrick

9:23 pm

jmcnrick

9:23 pm

Nef

9:27 pm

Nef

You aren't playing much lately, are you, jmc?

9:29 pm

Nef

I'm very slow at finding words here tonight. ANyone else have that problem or is it just me?

9:32 pm

jmcnrick

9:32 pm

jmcnrick

i only have 21 words nef. . . but i have never been very fast. . . .

9:33 pm

Nef

feast or famine, jmc? That's tough. Sorry to hear that

9:34 pm

Nef

I have 57; but I started earlier while on hold on the phone for half an hour

9:36 pm

Nef

Finally got NBT!

9:36 pm

jmcnrick

well its okay nef. . . i am in better financial shape than i have been most of my adult life. . . so i really shouldn't get all muffty about it. . .

9:36 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hooo nef!

9:36 pm

jmcnrick

i found the U word very difficult myself. . .

9:36 pm

Nef

Medical term (+ pl)

9:37 pm

jmcnrick

i have a beautiful house. . . an adorable niece and great-niece. . . and a thoughtful son. . . life is actually really very good. . .

9:37 pm

Nef

Oops! I'm wrong! (I just looked it up!)

9:38 pm

jmcnrick

but we humans so often lose sight of that and get all wrapped up in our woes instead of celebrating our joys. . .

9:38 pm

jmcnrick

yeah i had never heard of it myself nef. . .

9:38 pm

Nef

jmc, I've found that it helps each day to look at the positives in life. Otherwise; it's Hard......

9:38 pm

jmcnrick

but i will say that whenever i see a Z in the grid I look longingly for zarf. . . my all time favorite word. . . .

9:39 pm

stidmama

okay, translation done.

9:39 pm

Nef

zarf? what is it?

9:39 pm

Nef

What are you translating, stid?

9:39 pm

jmcnrick

yes. . .when my hubby was alive we ended each day telling each other what we appreciate about the other and what we had done as a gift for the other. . . a positive end to some otherwise rough days. . .

9:39 pm

stidmama

*singing lustily: ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGGHHT SIDE OF LIFE -- whistle whistle whistle....*

9:40 pm

jmcnrick

wtg stiddie

9:40 pm

Nef

LOL, stid! I agree

9:41 pm

Nef

I've never heard of zarf before, jmc; but now I like that word too!

9:41 pm

stidmama

my weekly newsletter. Have some parents who don't speak english very well, who benefit from some support. I use Google translate, then revise it myself to make it more clear. I still make lots of mistakes, but I generate so much text that it would swamp the interpreters if I asked them to do all the little bits and bobs.

9:41 pm

jmcnrick

it's better than the theme song i took for myself most of my life. . . .born under a bad sign. . . i've been down since i could crawl . . . weren't for bad luck. . . i wouldn't have no luck all. . . .

9:41 pm

jmcnrick

isn't that a great definition duo nef?

9:42 pm

stidmama

Life can be harsh. Right now we're in a good place, Tom and I, but we know how quickly that can change!

9:42 pm

Nef

Oh, jmc; that'a a bad theme song

9:42 pm

jmcnrick

i gave it up nef. . . decided i could find a better one. . .

9:42 pm

Nef

yes; and I can see it's a very necessary word too (in some situations)

9:43 pm

jmcnrick

haven't found it yet but i am still looking. . .

9:43 pm

jmcnrick

hehe it is a very good word sometimes. . . .

9:43 pm

jmcnrick

well i am off. . . early morning for me tomorrow. . .

9:43 pm

jmcnrick

bye all! *poof*

9:44 pm

Nef

My life theme songs: Tomorrow,(from Annie); Over the rainbow, and

9:44 pm

Nef

niters, jmc

9:45 pm

jmcnrick

MAAAAAANAna manana te amo manana tu es un nueve dia!

9:45 pm

Nef

:-D

9:46 pm

Nef

my other one was from "Man of LaMancha" but danged if I can remember it right now.....

9:46 pm

stidmama

Let's see if I can remember:

As I was a walkin'
I heard a complainin'
and spied an old woman the picture of gloom.
She stood on her doorstep
and (something something)
(tw4 raining)
and this was her song as she wielded her broom:

Oh life is a toil
and death is a trouble
Beauty will fade
and riches will flee

9:47 pm

stidmama

(finishes song)

pleasures they dwindle and prices they double
and nothing is as I would wish it to be!

(from a songbook of American Folksongs compiled by ??Alan Lomax? )

9:49 pm

stidmama

disclaimer: I am in NO way comparing jmc to either an "old" woman *youthful mama smile* nor to a "picture of gloom" as in real life she is an inspiration and a delight to be around!

9:49 pm

Nef

I have never heard that one before, stid.

9:50 pm

stidmama

It's a lovely, catchy tune, actually and I used to sing it to the boys when they were little. I got a replacement copy of the book after the fire, but can't think where it is at the moment.

9:51 pm

Nef

That's an interesting song to sing to kids.

9:51 pm

stidmama

I think "sneezish" is a wurd: a hybrid sound made by people in denial of their allergies.

9:51 pm

stidmama

LOL well, a little bit of realism isn't a bad thing!

9:53 pm

Nef

I used to babysit a lot when I was young; I'd sing lullabysfrom the time I was 11 on: Summertime (from Porgy & Bess), Irish Lullaby, and others.

9:53 pm

stidmama

also faeish: resembling or appearing to belong to the good folk...

9:55 pm

Nef

I think faws should be a word; sounds like it should mean sleepy in the fall

9:58 pm

stidmama

oh, I like that one! :-D

9:58 pm

Nef

for some reason, I keep seeing (& typing) "agate" & it doesn't work!

9:58 pm

stidmama

hm. I "saw" that one too!

10:00 pm

Nef

a couple of those "P" words are very questionable to me

10:06 pm

stidmama

hm

10:10 pm

stidmama

I am down to 18 and not progressing for the last 20 minutes. I think I will list.
