never realised how much one relies on both hands to do things....the past 3 weeks have taught me a lot, having to rely on just my left hand.....very frustrating

12:43 am

cybernan

stuck with 51 to go

12:44 am

VolleymomDee

I remember when I broke my elbow and was in a sling for 6 weeks, just how frustrating that was, diz. I empathize. Silly things like putting on a bra LOL

12:45 am

VolleymomDee

Cooking was almost impossible. I did learn how to pour a gallon of milk or orange juice by balancing the bottom of the bottles on the middle of the kitchen sink.

12:45 am

dizgrannie

lol Dee, hubby has to dress/ shower/ everthing for me

12:45 am

VolleymomDee

I hated that part... definitely humbling experience, and frustrating, but the time will pass pretty quickly.

12:47 am

dizgrannie

I can't do any cooking....luckily I had plenty of pre cooked meals in the freezer, but they are slowly diminishing.

12:48 am

VolleymomDee

How are you feeling?

My main thing I am upset about is that I can't do all my little treats for Chrissy.

12:48 am

VolleymomDee

ty ru, looking

12:49 am

VolleymomDee

you will just have to make up for it when you are all healed :)

12:50 am

dizgrannie

G/dtr said to me 'don't worry Grannie. you can still make them when your shoulder gets better'

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

awww, precious!

12:51 am

rururocks

grrr two missing s's

12:51 am

dizgrannie

poor ole hubby is getting as frustrated as me, thankfully I taught him well in the cooking dept...lol

12:54 am

rururocks

finished

12:54 am

VolleymomDee

That was smart. We ate a lot of omelets, pancakes, grilled cheese, grilled meats, chili, and takeout when the freezer emptied and my hubby had to cook. His repertoire is a bit limited.

12:54 am

VolleymomDee

12:54 am

1:56 am

We had quite a lot of rain yesterday. A cold front is coming now. It has been unusually warm, for this time of year.

1:57 am

flosey

1:58 am

gapeach

2:37 am

sprite

2:39 am

flosey

lol Sprite - he really is a great dentist, have never been happier when I think of all the dentists I've had over the years! But yes, this was indeed quite a surprise - a delicious one

2:39 am

sprite

hehehe yeah it is a sweet gesture. Just struck me as funny. But in a good way.

2:41 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybody

2:41 am

grannyrose

2:42 am

flosey

2:42 am

grannyrose

2:42 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello my darling, good evening to you. How are you doing?

2:43 am

sprite

it is later in canada than it is in australia, isn't it?

2:43 am

grannyrose

not too badly. have spent most of the day in the air-con, on the bed with my compression stockings on. hot weather = swollen ankles.

2:43 am

sprite

yeah I know that feeling. Thank God for airco.

2:45 am

rubyfoo

whwith too great friends in the game!at a pleasure, huddled in front of the fire (I think I should move to OZ lol)

2:45 am

grannyrose

how are you all?? flosey....i see you are nearly ready for xmas, wtg, honey. ruby?? are you improving with your dietary intake?? sprite, are feeling less tired, sweetie?

2:46 am

sprite

ruby, a care package is in the mail. Sent it off yesterday.

2:46 am

rubyfoo

I lost the beginning of that -- I was saying that it is a pleasure to have my friends here!

2:46 am

sprite

a little, rose. Sleeping quite a lot at the moment. I think my body has decided to catch up on energy.

2:46 am

sprite

ruby, when is the big day?

2:47 am

grannyrose

finally you are able to do so sprite...that's good.

2:48 am

sprite

yeah it is ok. I try to rest a lot, walk terra every day, and try and keep my obligations to a minimum. I trust I will feel chipper soon.

2:48 am

rubyfoo

urYour package arrived this AM, sprite; I will need Flosey's dentist! Many thanks!

2:48 am

sprite

omg for real? That is amazingly fast.

2:49 am

rubyfoo

I saw the new doctor on Wed. and although the cancis stable, she wants me to have more scans before I see her in Janer

2:49 am

sprite

they may charge a fortune for postage, but at least they deliver fast for it

2:49 am

rubyfoo

And she thinks radiation (which scares me) would relieve the pain

2:50 am

sprite

wow ruby, yayyyy for the cancer being stable. well done. And it is a good thing she is careful and wants to have scans done.

2:50 am

rubyfoo

but what is your opinion about radiation?

2:50 am

sprite

I can understand not liking the idea of radiation. But anything that relieves your pain is worth considering.

2:51 am

rubyfoo

I am afraid that I will be burned

2:51 am

grannyrose

ruby, radiation can be daunting. it does have it's positives. it can be very accurately focussed for a start.

2:52 am

sprite

what I think is that you might want to write down all those questions and worries about radiation. And when you see her next, go over the list and make sure you get informed info.

2:52 am

sprite

informed info? Ok, that is odd.

2:53 am

rubyfoo

She was suepeised that they didn't do radiation when I had cancer before

3:01 am

rubyfoo

see you later, kids, I have to get dressed for my haircut.

3:01 am

rubyfoo

It's actually less expensive, having my hair cut at home

3:01 am

sprite

bye ruby, take care *hugs* and enjoy the goodies. Just brush your teeth after, lol

3:02 am

grannyrose

bye dearest ruby. hope you have a nice day. xoxox

3:03 am

rubyfoo

My housekeeper has been on the phone since she arrived.

3:03 am

sprite

she better not charge you for those hours then

3:03 am

rubyfoo

she gets here, but doesn't do much and the house isn't clean enough

3:03 am

grannyrose

dinner ready. xoxox to you. will check in later and see if you are still here.

3:04 am

sprite

enjoy your dinner, darling. *hugs*

3:04 am

rubyfoo

but she walks the pups, even on her days off, so I shouldn't complain

3:04 am

rubyfoo

((rosie))

3:05 am

sprite

ruby, maybe you can ask her to do specific tasks today. That way she will have to work for her money without you getting into an argument about it.

well, it is NOT the house of representatives

7:17 pm

Aloyisius

tyvm, Molly, great clue

7:19 pm

cybernan

ok - I guess you are referring to the upper house, but I've tried everything close

7:19 pm

cybernan

ah got it -- ends in the bug eg

7:19 pm

MollyL

There is The House Of Representatives and the other body of American government. Starts with sen...not hard to figure.

7:19 pm

Aloyisius

yes, wtg

7:20 pm

MollyL

Not spelled the same, but that is why these are "hints"

7:21 pm

cybernan

yes your upper house is called the same as ours -- keep forgetting that congress is just another word for parliament

7:22 pm

MollyL

No, American government is nothing like Parliament. Hence, The Revolutionary War.

7:22 pm

cybernan

now for the 6/18 before that one

7:23 pm

cybernan

I meant that you have the 2 houses, Molly

7:25 pm

cybernan

I always thought your revolutionary war was because you wanted representation in the British parliament

7:26 pm

Aloyisius

phantom: innuendo

7:26 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da *!*

7:26 pm

Aloyisius

congrats, nan!

7:27 pm

Uneaixoise

congrats, nan!!

7:27 pm

MollyL

Um, no Nan. Our Revolutionary War was because we wanted to be a country free of the British. And we accomplished that.

7:28 pm

cybernan

then what what was all the no taxation without representation rhetoric about?

7:30 pm

Aloyisius

fw, fun grid.. nan, I think that was the straw that broke the camel's back.. so the tea was thrown in the drink and the militias formed. See ya next grid, poof

7:30 pm

MollyL

Well that was what happened before the American colonists got tired of England and decided to form their own Union. People get tired of being oppressed by others.

7:30 pm

cybernan

ah - an excuse to start a war, then

7:31 pm

cybernan

on my way --- back at the flip

7:32 pm

MollyL

No, not an excuse to start a war. People wanting their Independence. (Try a Google search for The Declaration Of Independence)

7:35 pm

MollyL

It's so funny that elders who still believe in the sovereignty of the British crown have no idea why countries want to be free of it.

Hi Dan and Welki.

Greetings fellow babblerrs

good bye all

hi scrabs and owl (on the chance you're back)

8:27 pm

welki

oh! and origami :)

8:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

working the grid

8:31 pm

Hi Welki!

8:32 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Owl. I got sidetracked with a phone call

8:33 pm

welki

are you on call this weekend, scrabbler?

8:34 pm

Scrabbler

Nope. I was on call 2 weekends ago, and the last 2 nights. I can finally sleep in tomorrow after setting the alarm for 0600 for 5 days in a row.

8:35 pm

dan2bit

still here! hiya Scrabs & welki & TO & origami & all

8:35 pm

welki

hehehe - i'd bet that 'sleeping in' means you'll wake up at 6, try to get back to sleep and give up (and get up) at 6:20

8:36 pm

origami

I like the Billy Collins poem in your profile TO. I like his poetry.

8:37 pm

origami

Hi dan

8:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

it's a new years poem.

8:38 pm

Scrabbler

I do often wake up at 6 anyway. But maybe I can sleep til 7 or 730. Depends how much later I stay up. Not much later.

8:39 pm

origami

I always wake up at 5:45 unless I forget to set my alarm on a week night :-)

8:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

i got up at 7:30and was shopping by 8:15. best decision of the week, the crazies were on the road by the time i left.

8:40 pm

welki

we get up at 5 on workdays - not much later other days, because of the dogs

8:40 pm

Scrabbler

We brought my greatnephews to see Santa at the mall early last Sunday--smart idea.

8:40 pm

origami

I haven't done any Christmas present shopping and am now in deep doo-doo.

8:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

no5/14 pls?

8:40 pm

welki

i saw the photos - very handsome little boys (and yes, very smart to do that LAST weekend!)

8:40 pm

Scrabbler

Loud, Owl

8:41 pm

dan2bit

we got a *reservation* to see Santa tomorrow. We'll see how well it works

8:41 pm

Scrabbler

I love those boys so much, welki, and think of them all of the time.

8:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

there were two howlers in the mall today on the santa line. my, how that echoes!

8:42 pm

welki

it's evident that you love them, so easy to see in the way you write about your escapades with them

8:42 pm

Scrabbler

I just ordered Ryder some extrawide sneakers. He truly has hobbit feet. He will be a year old on Jan 4th.

8:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

they are very handsome lads

8:43 pm

origami

One of my best friends (a 30-something male) is having a baby in a few weeks. The closest I will get to a grandchild. I can't wait.

8:44 pm

Scrabbler

As I have gotten older I appreciate young kids much more. Kids know how to live life--playful, candid, innocent, etc. Childhood seems to peak at 4-6, in my opinion.

8:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

before the age of reason.

8:45 pm

origami

yeah, reason screws up everything :-)

8:45 pm

Scrabbler

So I treasure all encounters with kids from about 2.5-6 or so. I love talking with them, asking them questions, hearing their replies and comments.

8:47 pm

origami

The young kids possess such honesty and joy of ordinary things

8:47 pm

Scrabbler

Something changes by age 6-7 and it makes me sad.

8:48 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, true joy and exuberance. I suspect that the school just squashes the joy right out of them. Their creativity and imagination get crushed, they get judged, graded, and criticized. It makes me sad.

8:49 pm

welki

it's magic, scrabbler. the magic begins to dissipate when they start grade school. very sad, but part of the rites of passage, i suppose.

8:49 pm

Scrabbler

* the school experience

8:51 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, the magic disappears when reality of "grill and drill", and being graded and judged starts. The educational experience is so negative for many kids, the ones that struggle academically and socially.

8:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

do you not think it is the development of the ability to reason? the world is different then

8:52 pm

welki

i don't think it's just the indoctrination children receive when they start school, but the interaction with other, older (or meaner) children who suck the joy of fantasy from the young ones

8:53 pm

Scrabbler

There are many factors--deeper thinking, peer relationships, emotional development.

8:54 pm

Scrabbler

But one of my mottos is "What would a 4 year old do?"

8:54 pm

welki

there is no santa claus. there is no tooth fairy. that sort of stuff. (and you're right - kids learn early on about hardship, academic and social, but also about financial hardship if they're not of 'the means' to participate in all activities or even wear the 'right' clothes.

8:54 pm

origami

We start building cocoons around ourselves. It protects us, but cuts us off to some degree from others and the joy in the world.

8:55 pm

Scrabbler

Reality bites, and some kids face it quite early on.

8:56 pm

origami

I actually think kids would go through that if we lived in a cabin in the woods and home schooled them. I think it is the way we are built.

8:56 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, look at the stages described by Piaget.

8:57 pm

origami

Welki ... are you saying there is no Tooth Fairy? I am teary now ;-)

8:57 pm

welki

i work in a place in which children simply do not belong, yet people bring them for a variety of reasons. so, for them, i stock stickers and it still gets me when the little ones get excited about a Dora, Hello Kitty, Cars or Toy Story sticker - the simple things :)

8:57 pm

origami

Yes Scrabs, Piaget described all of that a long time ago.

8:58 pm

welki

yes, origami, there is a tooth fairy. (you can read about it in the new york sun's editorial)

8:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am done, ty for clues. i am so drained, family can do that to you.

8:59 pm

Scrabbler

It is fascinating for me to watch kids develop, and to see the differences between kids of the same ages. Some kids are very immature, other are sadly sophisticated at young ages. e.g. kids exposed to far too much at a young age.

8:59 pm

Scrabbler

Yay Owl.

8:59 pm

origami

Oh, thank goodness welki. You had me worried there.

8:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

welki, you crusher of dreams. :P

8:59 pm

welki

g'night owl - get some rest. i'll bet the next week will be busy for you

9:00 pm

Scrabbler

I have 62 left and am ready for bed. Tomorrow night is our Tomfoolery Tennis Club Ladies Xmas Party. We laugh hysterically for 4 hours straight.

9:00 pm

welki

yeah, that's me, the dream crusher. ask anyone :D

9:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

actually, i am not done shopping and i am having company tomorrow, i think

9:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

if i may, i am put out about my heater needing replacement. the bill sent me reeling.

9:01 pm

welki

oil furnace?

9:01 pm

Scrabbler

Oh, no, Owl.

9:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

the bill was probably more than enough for a new bathroom. or whole house flooring.

9:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

gas boiler.

9:02 pm

Scrabbler

Yikes!

9:02 pm

origami

Yikes! And it is COLD where you live.

9:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

on the bright side, it was replaced before the cold snap, and i am not freezing.

9:03 pm

welki

whoa boy - you can spend 10G on a system :(

9:04 pm

Scrabbler

Is that a once in a lifetime replacement?

9:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

it was going and i did not want to be in an emergency situation. exactly, welk

9:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

this is the third in nearly 31 years. the old one should have had 5 or so more years but the original expansion tank rusted and ruined the boiler.

9:05 pm

origami

I am going to have to replace my HVAC systemsoon. The thought scares me.

9:05 pm

welki

you're wise to replace it before it shuts down, pipes freeze, something bursts and there's water damage

9:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am still in the stages of grief.

9:06 pm

Scrabbler

3rd in 31 years? Wow!

9:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, 18 years ago it only cost about $4K. but that tank was not replaced then

9:06 pm

Scrabbler

Being a home owner is expensive.

9:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

so, it was the original then 2 replacements

9:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, but i had picked out flooring and was hiring a painter...

9:08 pm

Scrabbler

I got a new furnace for $6K maybe 8 years ago, I got a metal roof for $6K in 2003, I have had the house painted twice and will do that again next summer, ...

9:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

and i need a new car.

9:08 pm

origami

Ah shucks TO. Every time I want to make an improvement on my hovel something comes up.

9:09 pm

welki

*queues up Pink Floyd's MONEY*

9:09 pm

origami

I did just get a new car though! I love it. A Subaru Forester. I have big payments though :-(

9:09 pm

Scrabbler

That is always difficult: postponing a desired purchase because of a needed purchased. I hope to get laminate flooring installed in the next few months and I should have done it 10 years ago or more.

9:10 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, welki!

9:10 pm

Scrabbler

Origami, I had a 2005 Forester and loved it, then got a 2013 Corsstrek and love it even more!

9:11 pm

Scrabbler

* Crosstrek

9:12 pm

origami

I have always bought cars that were the cheapest or could get a good deal on. I have always wanted a Forester. This is the first car I really wanted and was able to get. I LOVE IT.

9:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am considering subaru. we get them at invoice.

9:13 pm

welki

i've had two subarus - loved them

9:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

scrabs, i have heard they have mechanical issues

9:13 pm

origami

I highly recommend them

9:13 pm

Scrabbler

I will stay with Subarus--perfect for where I live.

9:14 pm

Marc Freeman

do8 the first one, please?

9:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

they are a big sponsor of our non profit radio station, so members get no haggle pricing

9:14 pm

Scrabbler

Well-made cars, Owl, highly-rated, with high safety ratings too. Subaru owners tend to be very loyal.

9:14 pm

welki

all cars are subject to mechanical issues - you just have to decide what you want, what you can afford and buy it. everyone knows someone who'll try to burst your bubble - or 'has read' or 'heard' something negative

9:14 pm

sciencegeek

never had problems with my Subaru.... on second Forester

9:14 pm

Scrabbler

Yay, SG!

9:14 pm

origami

Consumer Reports ranks Subarus very highly.

9:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

i was looking at crosstrek but then thought i would try the legacy

9:15 pm

Scrabbler

Alright, kids, I really must enter the REM zone. See you tomorrow.

9:15 pm

welki

the first do8 sounds like something you'd make, like a comment, in the margins of a manuscript

9:15 pm

welki

hi geek

9:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

but i fee i need an suv just to keep up, all those big lunks o n the road overwhelm a simple car
