12:33 am

dizgrannie

we don't usually have anything to do with Halloween, but this year our 15 yr old g/dtr dressed as a ghost and gave lollies to the 3 kiddos next door who all have varying types af autism - they thought it was fantastic.

12:34 am

sammysmom

for the first time in my life, we will not be giving candy out from my house... our neighborhood has changed so and there are so few small children , and with wakter 1 being so frail we feel that it is nit a wise thing to do

12:35 am

sammysmom

yup

12:36 am

rururocks

good morning all

2:48 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and good morning sweetie. can only stay for a few minutes. dinner nearly ready. xoxox

2:48 am

sprite

hello my dear friend *hugs* Enjoy your dinner :)

2:49 am

grannyrose

and here it is. bbs

3:06 am

grannyrose

and back. how are you, honey?i have had a quiet day, only did a little pile of folding and sorting of clean washing.

3:07 am

sprite

that was quick.Yay you for taking it easy today. Are you feeling ok?

3:09 am

grannyrose

yup. i'm okay. i still can't slow down when eating. *sigh*

3:10 am

sprite

lol. Give it time... you will learn.
I am sick :( Coughing, fever, pain all over, general feeling of YUCK. And couldn't keep my food down yesterday.

3:11 am

grannyrose

sounds like the flu

3:11 am

grannyrose

did you have your flu vax this year?

3:11 am

sprite

some cold virus probably.

3:11 am

sprite

yeah got my shot6

3:13 am

sprite

and my love is rather fed up with being a caretaker... can't handle an additional sickness like this. So I am on my own, sigh.

3:14 am

grannyrose

pffft, tell him to step up to the mark right swiftly. and what about when you have been so sick and still taken care of him and the kids and the house?

3:16 am

sprite

I know. Seems they don't realise. They don't volunteer any help and when I ask, I get attitude. So I don't ask, can't handle much attitude when feeling so lousy. But I think next time one of them is ill... you get the idea.

3:16 am

grannyrose

yeah i know. but you are the mum and wife....

3:17 am

sprite

yeah... so probably I will take care of them anyway... we mothers/wives are weird creatures, aren't we?

3:18 am

grannyrose

absolutely....so long as you know that how you are feeling is quite okay.

3:20 am

sprite

yeah :) Had a fight with my love over this yesterday. Can't make him see. Makes me feel lousy. *insert pistol on temple and POOF*

3:23 am

grannyrose

what a pity, sprite. you really shouldn't have to fight for your right to be looked after when you are unwell.

3:26 am

sprite

yeah. It isn't the first time though. So for now, I am gonna accept it as is, don't have the energy to spare to fight it. It is just a severe cold, nothing serious, so it will pass :)

3:33 am

sprite

fireflies. *hugs* my darling. Am back to bed for now. Sleep well :)

3:33 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} my darling. hope you feel better soon. xoxox WTG SPRITE!!!

rubyfoo

Good morning!

4:40 am

zoozzoom

Hello, ((Ruby))

4:40 am

rubyfoo

4:41 am

rubyfoo

things are looking up here! I may have succeeded in getting husband into the best (private) nursing home in Annecy. I'll know more next week.

4:42 am

zoozzoom

Oh that is good news, Ruby. I hope he will settle nicely in there. I also hope it helps you to get yourself fit and well :-)

4:43 am

rubyfoo

Actually, he settled in very well at the temporary place. Everybody likes him as he is very sweet during the day. It is only the nights that are the problem, when he gets agitated and falls a lot

4:44 am

rubyfoo

He walks a lot, with and without his walker, and seems to be a favorite of the crazy old ladies

4:44 am

zoozzoom

Then I am sure it will be the same for this new place!

4:45 am

zoozzoom

That must take a load off your mind knowing that he can settle into other places. How about yourself? How are you?

4:45 am

rubyfoo

The gov't people are being wonderful to me. From what my friends here say, it is unusual for them to be so nice

4:46 am

zoozzoom

Then take it while it lasts lol.

4:46 am

rubyfoo

I'm OK but struggling a little. The pain is under control most of the time, but the cancer will probably have to be treated as a chronic disease, rather than a curable one.

4:48 am

zoozzoom

Try and ask for all the help you can get, Ruby. No point in just coping when there is help out there to make it easier for you. There must be organizations who help people with this type of illness?

4:49 am

rubyfoo

Yes, zzoozz,believe me when I say that |I ask for and receive lotsof help, both from agencies and friends.

4:50 am

rubyfoo

When a neighbor offers to help, I accept

4:51 am

zoozzoom

((Ruby)) Excellent I told you you were strong! Now time to try and get better day by day!

4:53 am

zoozzoom

Of course there will be lots of times when you do not feel like being strong but then talking to friends helps even if it is babble friends!!

4:53 am

rubyfoo

I feel very lucky!

4:56 am

zoozzoom

you (as in people) make your own luck most of the time so it is only what you make it to be. You have worked hard at this and you will come out better as a result of your determination, Ruby.

4:57 am

rubyfoo

Thank you for your kind words.

4:57 am

rubyfoo

I don't feel like a strong person, but more like a talented juggler

5:06 am

zoozzoom

Life is a juggling act, Ruby, we are all constantly juggling with Children..homes...food...bills..insura\nnce...holidays...birthdays...cars...il\nlnesses...bills...other people...bills...etc it is how you cope with all these things that makes you a strong person :-)

5:06 am

zoozzoom

Sorry for the delay the babble freeze swallowed my posts into a void!

5:07 am

zoozzoom

Oh I am very sorry I seem to have made the chat box all skewed!!

5:07 am

zoozzoom

Not sure how? I did not post any links?

5:09 am

zoozzoom

Looks like, Ruby , has gone anyway :-(

5:09 am

MollyL

Hi Zoom. When you post one big
long phrase, with no spaces, the
chat expands. Your post with the
"..." instead of periods and spaces
was the culprit. : D

5:09 am

rubyfoo

aha. I had the red boxes

5:10 am

rubyfoo

Hello, Molly

5:10 am

MollyL

Hi Ruby

5:10 am

zoozzoom

Ah Thanks for letting me know, Molly. I will remember that in future!

5:13 am

MollyL

It is a coding error that inserts that \n after
30 or so characters in a row with no space.
(Not sure exactly how many, I've never counted)

5:14 am

zoozzoom

Well I will not be doing that again lol

5:15 am

rubyfoo

See you la***, kids, need to lie down

5:16 am

zoozzoom

Bye for now, Ruby :-)

5:16 am

MollyL

Not a problem Zoom.
The chat flushes it eventually.

Hey! I thought you were going?

zoozzoom

5:17 am

rubyfoo

It's the meds, sorry

5:17 am

rubyfoo

Gone!

5:17 am

zoozzoom

Yeah yeah heard that before :-)

5:19 am

MollyL

It's Halloween on a Saturday here, so
a big party night.

5:20 am

zoozzoom

I like your halloween icon, Molly!

5:21 am

zoozzoom

Yes as it being on a Saturday I can see it being very busy tonight with all the door kKnocking that will be going on!

5:21 am

MollyL

In the Pagan/Celtic tradition is Samhain,
the day on which we welcome the darkness
of the year.

5:22 am

zoozzoom

A festival of the dead.

5:23 am

zoozzoom

Or Summers end. I think that sounds less morbid lol

5:24 am

MollyL

Well, I prefer to think of it as the
time in which we turn within and cultivate
the self. Much the same as the Earth goes
to seed and cultivates itself for Spring

5:24 am

MollyL

Although there is merit in honoring
the Ancestors

5:25 am

TheByzantine

I sometimes wonder how the ween got hallo?

5:26 am

TheByzantine

alec

5:26 am

MollyL

It is a combination word of All Hallows Een.
Een being an older word for eve.

5:27 am

MollyL

The Pagans and the Celtic have great respect for
those who came before them.

5:28 am

MollyL

I keep seeing words that are one letter
short of being actually there

5:28 am

zoozzoom

I have always had respect for my elders. It is a shame that seems to be disappearing.

5:29 am

MollyL

5:31 am

zoozzoom

Yes it still has a way to go though, Molly :-(

5:32 am

MollyL

The original jack-o-lanterns (made from
turnips, not pumpkins) were made to ward off
evil spirits on All Hallows Eve

5:33 am

zoozzoom

Well at least you could hollow out a lot more being much smaller :-)

5:34 am

zoozzoom

I can not make my writing go underneath like yours,Molly?

5:34 am

mattygroves

Use ctrl+return or shift+return
Then you can make poetry style lines

5:35 am

zoozzoom

I will try and see If I can Make

5:36 am

zoozzoom

Enter or back space?

5:36 am

zoozzoom

I am feeling dense here lol

5:36 am

mattygroves

Floppity flappity flip
the mouse went round the mobius strip
The strip revolved
The mouse dissolved
In a chrono dimentional skip

Shift + enter

5:37 am

zoozzoom

Hello
Ah I got It.
I did CTRL & En5 And that
Did not work.

5:38 am

zoozzoom

Oh I did like your little poem, Matty!

5:38 am

mattygroves

:D I've known it since uni days - way back when

5:39 am

zoozzoom

And thank you for telling me how to do the poem style
Text :-)

5:39 am

zoozzoom

Do not did sorry :-)

5:39 am

mattygroves

Probable, possible my black hen
She lays eggs in the relative when
She doesn't lay eggs in the positive how
Because she's unable to postulate how

5:39 am

ivesy3

an 7 plz

5:40 am

MollyL

Shift + return is easier
then you can make your
lines of chat shorter

5:41 am

zoozzoom

Oh, Matty I really like them. Is there somewhere I
Can find more?

5:41 am

zoozzoom

Sorry, Ivesy, I do not have that one :-(

5:41 am

mattygroves

Probably - but I don't have a link off hand. Back when I was at uni in 1985 we had VAX/UNIX machines (made by Tektronix, hark). When you typed 'fortune' into the command prompt, it gave you little gems such as those two

5:43 am

Jayk

i have thr book but i'm not at home and can't remember title. those 2 are the best ones. will find on monday

LOL

5:51 am

MollyL

Never let it be said that useless, and irrelevant to most people, Celtic Halloween trivia doesn't come in handy sometimes.
: D

5:51 am

Jayk

that's the one zoos

5:52 am

zoozzoom

Thank you, Jayk. I will order it from amazon.

5:53 am

MollyL

I have been spoiled by Amazon. Their shipping is freakishly fast. I ordered from another vendor recently and my item took over two weeks to get to me.

5:53 am

zoozzoom

A. E. Housman wrote a lot of that type of poem
I just found out by google.

5:54 am

zoozzoom

I ordered a book from amazon and it was with me the
very next day.I was amazed!

5:56 am

MollyL

Most items on Amazon ship very fast. They really have cornered the market on the quick ship thing.

5:57 am

MollyL

Most of their prices are hard to beat as well. I had dropped my prime membership because I felt like 99 dollars a year was too much. But they ran a special for 67 dollars so I renewed again.

6:00 am

zoozzoom

Jayk Or Matty. Here is a link that gives you many more lyrical poems by A.E Housman if you are interested.
Just click on the links on the page and it gives you them.

Ta - thank you!

6:00 am

zoozzoom

Most welcome :-)

6:01 am

zoozzoom

I agree, Molly. They are very very good.

6:02 am

MollyL

If you ever have a problem with Amazon, be sure to let them know. I have gotten many a 5 or 10 dollar gift bonus by doing so.

6:04 am

zoozzoom

Oh! I did order a book by Angie Sage from amazon but when it arrived it was in German. There was no indication on the front cover that it would be in a different language. And i being in the UK was expecting it to be in english. I sent it back and got a replacement. But no gift card/bonus :-(

6:05 am

MollyL

You need to send a note to customer service. They usually apologize for the error and throw in a gift bonus of some sort. I even got my Prime membership extended for one year once.

6:07 am

zoozzoom

Oh now that is a gold nugget of information.I will put that into my memory banks for next time.Many thanks!

6:07 am

sukee

Finally made it to half way.

6:08 am

Oh gosh I have been chatting at looking at links so much I have only gotton 76 words!

because et is latin for and, and cetera is latin for... whatever it's latin for...

11:46 am

MollyL

I see the pumpkin. Expert has a million flaws in it.

11:47 am

rururocks

cetera means remaining in latin

11:48 am

MollyL

et cetera means "and other things"

11:48 am

rururocks

I am loving taking it easy today

11:49 am

MollyL

et is "and" in Latin, as in "et tu Brute"..."and you Brutus"

11:50 am

you know, I think one of if not THE favorite role of Pacino, for me, was in Angels in America -- he was just phenomenal

8:50 pm

Dorens

I love him in just about everything. But this play, which is in previews, is just a showcase for his talent. Only two characters in the play. He's on the phone a lot with various different people, going through different emotions... all over the place. I think the play will probably get panned, but it was a thrill to see him live!

8:50 pm

soup kitchen is a good idea Une. I give mine to the kids I tutor but they already have so much.

we are too far off the beaten path, and even the newest neighbors apparently went elsewhere. :-)

10:29 pm

My son and his girlfriend have moved to their own house now so all is quiet here.

I take lots of snacks to the guys in the kitchen and the ones who set up and take down the tables and chairs :-)

10:30 pm

Bugsaw

Yes, it used to be about being outside at night but it was a neighbourhood thing. Now it is about greed so the kids bypass our house to get to all the duplexes in the subdivision down the road.

10:31 pm

stidmama

yep, I agree, bugs -- it's not much good

10:31 pm

Uneaixoise

here in Nashville most kids now go to parties or to the mall -- all the stores hand out candy

10:32 pm

Uneaixoise

aahh and add a vowel to the be7 for an 8

10:32 pm

Bugsaw

stores in town do that here too Une but it never looks like much fun for the kids. They are just in a live taking treats, not interacting with us old folks about their costumes and how wonderful they look.

10:33 pm

Uneaixoise

i agree -- doesn't look like much fun

10:35 pm

stidmama

when I drove home last night through the small town I teach in, the kids and their families were all out promenading. The cuteness overload was so intense! I didn't have any holiday-specific nonsense in the classroom, but in deference to the distractedness of the kids kicked it up a bit in the classroom Thurs and Fri (and will finish Monday) a unit on BATS! :-D

10:35 pm

Uneaixoise

clue for ce9 please?

10:35 pm

stidmama

I think the kids honestly had a lot more fun, and felt greatly relieved to know they were safe and at least one thing was normal, ie, grumpy old Mrs. S!

10:36 pm

rururocks

no.. not really.. but it is sad that people lost their lives.

10:51 pm

rururocks

i'll investigate our boat a little more though.. just in case :D

10:51 pm

rururocks

Of course I'd give you and saanich my life jacket

10:51 pm

Bugsaw

it is so sad but that company does not have a good safety record. Mr Bugs has already okayed the boat you want to ride on.

10:52 pm

rururocks

oh good.. he'd know better than anyone

10:53 pm

Bugsaw

you mean you wouldn't have a moral dilemma over which one of us gets it? A clue that my first husband would eventually become my first husband was when he said he would give it to his mother and hope for the best with me

10:53 pm

rururocks

I would rescue the other :D

10:54 pm

Bugsaw

ever the diplomat. You are a quick thinker

10:55 pm

rururocks

I rescued a guy in a lake in Oregon once

10:56 pm

rururocks

he'd been drinking and tipped his canoe over

10:56 pm

Bugsaw

well done ruru! Does he still send you presents?

10:57 pm

Bugsaw

it is hard to get back into a canoe, especially when there is only one of you and you have been drinking. You did a good thing

10:57 pm

rururocks

no.. he staggered off with his family who did nothing but watch him almost drown

10:57 pm

Bugsaw

my mother would say They deserve each other.

10:58 pm

rururocks

I don't even remember them saying thanks

10:58 pm

Bugsaw

I am finally done and need a cup of tea. Does anyone need any bad clues before I go?
