3:57 am

zoozzoom

How is your husband doing? Still doing as he is told LOL

3:58 am

3:59 am

4:00 am

grannyrose

*grin* yeah... and surprise, surprise my blood pressure has dropped heaps to the concern of my GP and cardiologist.

4:00 am

zoozzoom

I hope now you can have more peace of mind after ll the hassle and stress they put you under.

4:01 am

zoozzoom

Well I am not surprised at that at all, Rose. I think anyone under those pressures would have very high blood pressure too!

4:01 am

grannyrose

absolutely zooz. i now have enough to retire on, with not a lot of support from the government. also, europe and the UK are looking really good.

4:02 am

zoozzoom

Well I know you will but please plann your money wisely, Rose. As we all know it is very hard to get money but very easy to spend lol

4:03 am

zoozzoom

Plan plan and more planning is the key.

4:03 am

zoozzoom

Sorry did not mean to tell you what to do. Just care that is all :-)

4:04 am

grannyrose

honey, all good. my DH is well versed in what to do. and yes planning is the key.

4:05 am

zoozzoom

We have a new rule in the UK now that when you retire you can now take all your pension out in one lump sum if you want. Hate to think what will happen to those who do and blow the lot on a boat or something they do not need!

4:05 am

grannyrose

lolll... i have so many plates in the air.... i hope i don't drop any!

4:06 am

zoozzoom

4:07 am

zoozzoom

What your home or their own home?

4:08 am

grannyrose

4:08 am

grannyrose

4:09 am

zoozzoom

Well these are nice things to have to think about and I am sure you will make the right choices that is best for all of you concerned, Rose :-)

4:10 am

grannyrose

4:11 am

That is the best policy, Rose, take it nice and easy.

4:12 am

zoozzoom

How is the pain management going, rose? Still having the infusions?

4:12 am

4:20 am

zoozzoom

I will need to go soon, Rose, But It was very nice to catch up with you. And to hear the good news you have recently had!

4:21 am

grannyrose

4:23 am

Marc Freeman

THANKS

4:23 am

grannyrose

Caya is having trouble settling into her new school year. sprite is running around trying to smooth Caya's path. bless her

4:24 am

zoozzoom

Ah I see. Then I do hope all can be sorted out for Caya. nothing worse than not getting the school support you need when you are having trouble.

4:25 am

grannyrose

exactly. poor kid. she is now a little fish in a big pond plus she wants to move out of the family home.

4:27 am

zoozzoom

Ah yes that can be very hard on the parent to let go of their young adults. It is very hard to let go I know that for sure.

4:28 am

zoozzoom

I need to get going then, Rose. Great to have caught up with you. Hope you gat a nice deep sleep tonight now that the weather has cooled for you. Bye for now!

4:52 am

sukee

Starving a bit this morning, I have to go for an ultrasound that was cancelled last week. It's at 10 and I can't eat anything before

4:53 am

sukee

4:53 am

rubyfoo

How about chewing food and spitting it out?

4:53 am

sukee

4:54 am

sukee

I'll survive, there is a Tim Horton at the hospital so I will load up on food after :)

4:55 am

rubyfoo

Too bad you don't have the gristly meat I was served all weekend; you could have chewed it for an hour with no discernable break-down lol

5:24 am

rubyfoo

I am waiting for spring to really arrive. There are flowery glimmers, but it's freezing at night, too early to plant stuff

5:24 am

sukee

Our weather was lots of rain yesterday and about 10C. Today is supposed to be sunny but right now it is -1.

5:25 am

sukee

Our planting season doesn't start until almost the end of May :)

5:25 am

rubyfoo

Today is just grey....flowers, dogs and I all need sunshine!

5:27 am

gran

cr 5/18 clue please

5:27 am

rubyfoo

That's like where I lived in upstate NY. I tend to plant too early (or have planted, no longer can do it myselfÂ°. One year in Binghamton, I planted tomatoes in my tiny garden and then it snowed in May

5:27 am

lynxxx

Gran cr & opposite of hard = s***

5:28 am

How did I not see that!

5:28 am

5:31 am

MollyL

I put tomatoes in and planted some Morning Glories yesterday. I love the planting season.

5:33 am

rubyfoo

I think it's warmer there; we still risk frost at night

5:33 am

rubyfoo

I oinly feed the fish every couple of days

5:34 am

rubyfoo

and the heron comes for his lunch, Chez Ruvy, evry day. I don't mind because he's magnifique!

5:35 am

rubyfoo

and there are plenty of fish in the pond; we started with 23 tinies and now there are 100's, some of them a foot long

5:42 am

rubyfoo

waiting for lunch; the regular lady is on Holiday, so the sub must be struggling

5:54 am

MollyL

Ruby, maybe if you hired someone to cook for you, you would get better meals.

5:54 am

rubyfoo

23 left, taking a (hopefully) lunch break

5:56 am

rubyfoo

I pay the commune and this way there's no shopping or clean-up or planning involved. And, occasionally, it's very good

5:57 am

rubyfoo

I have someone to shop, someone else to clean and walk the dogs, someone to cook dogs' dinner -- that's all the "someones" I can stand

5:59 am

rubyfoo

I'm Lucky to have so much help, but it's tiring having people in and out all day

6:00 am

rubyfoo

(I must sound like a spoiled brat, sorry)

6:03 am

rubyfoo

There once was a spoiled brat named Nellie, Preoccupied with her small belly, She wanted good good, But was in a bad mood, And for her lunch spooned out jelly

9:39 am

Scrabbler

Haha, two "sick" siblings just arrived and are so boisterous. They are clearly not really sick. An example of worried mothers with not-so-sick kids. These kids are here with colds for a week.

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

it can be hard, sometimes to know when to doctor and when not. some are better at this than others.

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

but boisterous behavior is a big clue

9:40 am

Scrabbler

These kids won't even cooperate to get weighed in.

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

hahah how old? boys?

9:41 am

hego

I hate that.

9:41 am

Scrabbler

Boy and girl, 4 and 2. Most sick visits to pediatricians are what we call "peace of mind" visits. These keep us in business.

jaybo33

is Licketys cheating?

11:06 am

crosshair

Many player have their own interpretation of what constitutes 'cheating. " Some feel that even the type of cluing done in the chat is excessive, while others welcome the help. Lickety's is a tool like any other. Each person will play the game differently. Use what works for you.

11:08 am

jaybo33

Good answer! Even 83 words is TOUGH to ace.

Not all of us aim to finish the grid every day, either; I often go for nbs, nbt, and at least half the words; then I declare victory and go do something else :-)
