2:47 am

sprite

good morning all

2:48 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and good morning dearest sprite. how was your night?

2:49 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend :) It was ok. Dreams still very intense but not as horrible. How was your day?

2:50 am

grannyrose

good thanx. pain minimal. went out for meeting with vicar, youth worker, and others on the field committee.

2:50 am

sprite

am so glad, darling. It is great that you are in less pain most days :) How did the meeting go?

2:51 am

grannyrose

did you manage yesterday okay? you had several tasks to get through.

2:52 am

grannyrose

it went well. and my choice of fellow committee members has proved correct. young Tim (30) put in some very useful info.

2:52 am

sprite

yeah it was a bit muchish. And it ended in another fight with son, sigh. He can be such an ass. It is his birthday tomorrow. I received his wish list 3 days ago, and I haven't been able to do much with it. My heart isn't it in, tbh. He makes it so hard.

2:52 am

sprite

aw good :D

2:53 am

sprite

phantom: innovator

2:53 am

grannyrose

oh, sweetie. i so understand. when they acting so mean it is hard to think generously and buy them gifts.

2:54 am

grannyrose

what was he acting up about this time?

2:54 am

sprite

that is exactly it. Also, I have been asking for his wish list for over a month. I need TIME to find something good, y'know?

2:57 am

grannyrose

i know. and he thinks you will just pop down the street and find what he is asking for. * eye roll*

2:57 am

sprite

it was about his wish list. I reached out to take it, then he went and took it back, started writing on it, while I was waiting to be able to take it. Then, when he was done... he put it down on the table, just out of my reach. You know I cannot move easily, with my rotten pelvic girdle. I kept my hand out for the list, and he gave it to me... then said "is there something wrong with your arm?" I said 'No, with my pelvic girdle." And Rob was mad at him about being such a dense ass and off we went.

2:58 am

grannyrose

oh dear!! i can just picture it.

2:58 am

grannyrose

how did Caya go with the car and her german exam?

2:59 am

sprite

yeah and on that list there are things like 'portable box'. Right. As if I know what that is. Do you think a cardboard box from the grocery store will do? :D

2:59 am

grannyrose

roflol. try it and see what his reaction is...

2:59 am

sprite

omg rose... Caya made only 1 mistake in the whole exam! And she did great driving, and taking her friends through the rain without them getting wet :D

3:00 am

sprite

it is a box and it is portable

3:00 am

grannyrose

well done Caya!! not only beautiful but clever to boot. xoxox

3:00 am

sprite

hehehe so sweet... one of her friends told her to say to me: Thank you for letting Caya take the car so that we could go to the exam in style". Priceless kids.

3:01 am

sprite

she is, rose. She is scary talented and with a beautiful character too.

3:01 am

grannyrose

how lovely! what lovely manners.

3:01 am

sprite

ikr! Very sweet.

3:04 am

sprite

the rotten thing is, Tim has a beautiful character too. But he can still be such an ass, as if he is still a hormone-driven clueless teenager.

3:04 am

grannyrose

i am so excited. new door being installed tomorrow morning... at 8am... aaagghhh!

3:05 am

sprite

eeeek how early. But yay for the door coming so soon.

3:05 am

grannyrose

don has taken the before photos.

3:05 am

sprite

ah great. Looking forward to see the before and after ones.

3:06 am

grannyrose

and the merbau looks gorgeous. don is doing such a wonderful job.

3:06 am

sprite

oh, remember the friend I told you about, who received 3 miracles and then declared not to believe in them and that those who do are only driven by fear?

3:07 am

sprite

yay for Don too!

3:07 am

grannyrose

yes i do honey...

3:08 am

sprite

I wrote to her yesterday. A very gentle and kind mail, in which I explained my own reactions and feelings and also stipulated we couldn't work together this way. It feels good to have done it.

3:09 am

grannyrose

good for you sprite. a very necessary thing well done. i am glad you have done it.

3:10 am

sprite

me too. Thanks for your support, honey.

3:11 am

sprite

phantom: orrery

3:12 am

grannyrose

yes, and (sp) ornery

3:12 am

sprite

right. That one too.

3:14 am

sprite

erotoy - fun item used during sex

3:14 am

grannyrose

like my purple thingy??

3:15 am

sprite

like those :D

3:15 am

grannyrose

put it in.... not the purple thingy, the word

3:16 am

sprite

ok will do

3:17 am

sprite

caya has her last exam today. Biology. That is a tough one, but as far as we can see she has done a great job on all the others.

3:17 am

gemini_J13

the chat is kind of sexy tonight

3:17 am

sprite

hiya gemini, yes it is :)

3:17 am

gemini_J13

;)

3:17 am

grannyrose

oops.... ahem.... hi gemini *blushing, just a tad mind*

3:18 am

gemini_J13

I needed a smile!

3:18 am

sprite

hey a bit of eroticism is healthy for a person

3:19 am

grannyrose

thank heavens ruru isn't here. he would be having a ball.

3:19 am

sprite

he has two, to be precise

3:19 am

grannyrose

oh no, that didn't come out right, did it?

3:20 am

grannyrose

LOLOLOL

3:21 am

sprite

oh, a smile... here's what I overheard from kids playing outside my garden... I think they were about 4 years old.
"I am the man so I get to wear nail polish."
"Girls wear nail polish, not men!"
"No men!"
"Girls!"
"No, men, because girls are beautiful already, and men are... men!"

3:22 am

gemini_J13

smart boy

3:22 am

grannyrose

*giggle* that is so sweet. and that kid is well on his way to being our next casanova

3:22 am

sprite

isn't he just! I stood there smiling and also melting a little bit

3:27 am

sprite

oh where is our Liz? Da5/18 is a word she knows so well but hardly ever sees written... so she tends to miss it in grids :)

3:28 am

grannyrose

where is she indeed? i don't think she was here earlier.

3:29 am

sprite

fireflies. Last word: na5/16. New one for me. Tough job for my monkeys *breaks out a cardboard box of bananas* (hey, that box could come in handy tomorrow!)

3:29 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

3:30 am

grannyrose

*giggle* SPRITE!!! don't you dare tempt fate...

3:31 am

sprite

thanks darling. *hugs* to you and hardworking Don. Good luck with the installation of the new door! And lots of love as always. Sleep well.

gemini, have a grand day!

3:31 am

grannyrose

Scrabbler

It's a Babblet.

5:55 am

rubyfoo

5:55 am

rubyfoo

5:55 am

Scrabbler

He is a guest in your home and he is being rude?

5:55 am

rubyfoo

5:56 am

rubyfoo

yes

5:56 am

Scrabbler

Then why welcome him back?

5:57 am

Scrabbler

Well, that is up to you.

5:58 am

rubyfoo

It will be a long time! I thought he was coming bcause he was worried aboutmy health but I was wrong

5:58 am

Scrabbler

Ah, did he just want a nice vacation in France?

6:00 am

rubyfoo

I think he wanted to go through my husband's things and make sure that I'm moving my dreaded fisc proble in the right direction

6:00 am

sukee

Have you guys seen the woman with the Chewbacca mask? Hilarious. She is all over US TV now.

6:00 am

Scrabbler

Yes, sukee, I saw that. She is funny.

6:01 am

rubyfoo

This was no vacatioin for him as he was just in Europe last month with his wife. THAT was a vacation

6:01 am

sukee

She was on the Late, Late Show last night.

6:01 am

rubyfoo

I'll try to find it on YouTube later

6:02 am

sukee

I think what made it go viral was because Peter Mayhew commented on the original.

6:02 am

Scrabbler

That woman is full of joy and unrestrained laughter. I like people like that.

6:02 am

sukee

I will make you laugh ruby

6:02 am

Scrabbler

Hi Peri

6:09 am

rubyfoo

hello car and peri

6:09 am

car.eeyore

O

6:09 am

car.eeyore

I'm ok. some bad days, but mostly good. Endo visit today.

6:09 am

car.eeyore

you are very thoughtful to ask...and keep tabs!

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Get extra sleep and do not push yourself too much.

6:10 am

rubyfoo

<-- didn't even know, sorry ((car))

6:10 am

car.eeyore

LOL...my dad said the exact same thing to me yesterday...a retired surgeon!

6:10 am

car.eeyore

Ruby, no worries.

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Sorry, car, for bringing it up here.

6:11 am

car.eeyore

NOt a problem for me.

6:12 am

rubyfoo

This is the best place -- friendliest, safest, most caring!!

6:12 am

car.eeyore

Thank you, Ruby, but not all feel that way and would prefer I not discuss it.

6:13 am

Scrabbler

And I must hop in the shower and get to work--Indian Reservation, then local school for sports physical exams, then a few hours off, then evening session at the office...on a beautiful, sunny day when I would rather hike in the woods.

6:13 am

car.eeyore

Ugh. How did the on call weekend go?

6:13 am

Scrabbler

((Car))

6:14 am

rubyfoo

So no discussions of health, politics, religion, relationships -- are those the new parameters?

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Migraine disappeared Saturday evening. Overall quiet weekend.

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Bye kids!

6:14 am

car.eeyore

Good I'm glad. HAGD Scrabs!

6:15 am

rubyfoo

bye scrabs

6:15 am

rubyfoo

I think that anybody too sensitive for open discussion, should just turn off the chat!

6:15 am

car.eeyore

I have always found this chog to be one of support and comfort for those who need it, so you can talk about anything you want to me!

6:16 am

rubyfoo

exactly

6:16 am

car.eeyore

So, Ruby, because you asked, I had thyroid cancer and had to have my thyroid out, which turned out to be a good idea because there was more growing.

6:16 am

ladycece920

i chat very seldom, but have always thought the people here are, as Ruby said, the best and caring. No one should be allowed to put parameters on that.

6:17 am

car.eeyore

Thank you, Ladycece

6:17 am

rubyfoo

Thank you and Hello, Ladycece

6:17 am

ladycece920

and, btw, glad you are doing better car.

6:18 am

car.eeyore

Thank you! Honestly, I could not have made it through without Scrabs! She was so supportive and encouraging. A wonderful doctor and person!

6:18 am

ladycece920

car.eeyore

6:44 am

Lizlin

Down to my last few now and have resorted to more words - too tired to think. Have had a stressful few days - nothing serious though (at least not for us)

6:44 am

car.eeyore

Oh dear...anything I can help with?

6:45 am

Lizlin

And can't see words even with looking! en 6/18 pls - probably obvious but can't find it!

6:46 am

Lizlin

Duh! Thanks! I knew it was obvious!

6:46 am

car.eeyore

I hope things quiet down for you and you can relax and rest.

6:47 am

Lizlin

Should be easier from tomorrow - thanks.

6:47 am

car.eeyore

Lizlin

But even better from next week!

6:48 am

Lizlin

Lizlin

Oh dear - kids will be kids!

6:49 am

car.eeyore

They were so scared when I got home. I looked like frankenstein.

6:49 am

Lizlin

Self centred little creatures!

6:49 am

Lizlin

That's quite an image!

6:50 am

car.eeyore

I went from frankenstein's monster to a pez dispenser.

6:50 am

Lizlin

Hmmm! Interesting. Can't quite imagine you as a pez dispenser.

6:51 am

car.eeyore

I try to keep it "fresh" ...LOL

6:51 am

Lizlin

car.eeyore

I need the 2 center O's please.

6:51 am

car.eeyore

Looking for na 6 for you....

6:52 am

Lizlin

I think one is or 4 - with a vowel at the end

6:53 am

Lizlin

or 4/4 that should've read.

6:53 am

car.eeyore

Yes! That was the center O..tyvm

Thanks - also thanks for the help.

7:04 am

mattygroves

Got the ro - thanks!

7:04 am

Trifioso

7:04 am

Lizlin

Excellent - would love to be in the UK at the end of June! Will be there virtually!

7:04 am

car.eeyore

I had a such a great conversation with a woman yesterday who fosters birds and does rescues. I'm in a good place with it all.

7:04 am

mattygroves

I can do you a 'ticket' for the housewarming - sadly, travel is not included :)

7:05 am

Lizlin

Aw your bird flew off?

7:05 am

car.eeyore

Yup.

7:05 am

car.eeyore

It's been a really rough springtime for us.

7:05 am

mattygroves

May I have a nudge for the in8, please? Then I MUST do my errands

7:05 am

Lizlin

Hope you find it soon

7:05 am

car.eeyore

I have to shower, so I'll join in for that nudge.

7:08 am

Lizlin

I'm off for an early night - have a good day all!

7:09 am

car.eeyore

I figure the worst that will happen today is that the doc will tell me i have to do the radioactive iodine treatment. This would mean a 2-3 day hotel stay for me...not too shabby.

7:09 am

Lizlin

Peaceful, I'd think. Still no further treatment necessary would be best :)

7:10 am

car.eeyore

OK...just pitiful...Archer is lying right on the spot where the bird cage used to be looking all sad. Breaking my heart :(

hi annie. i was in brooklyn a week ago.

8:34 am

Anniebrook

oh, what part?

8:34 am

72 Temple Owl

red hook

8:35 am

72 Temple Owl

actually all of it, we took a wrong turn. on the opposite side of the water as well

8:35 am

Anniebrook

red hook has been gentrified. my ex-husband grew up in red hook.

8:36 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, very hip. was at jalopy

8:36 am

Anniebrook

nice. hope you had a great time.

8:36 am

72 Temple Owl

we accidentally came in via the holland and on the opposite side from the destination at first

8:37 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, great venue. good acoustics, good food

8:37 am

Anniebrook

the holland tunnel is in new york. did you have a hard time finding red hook?

8:38 am

Anniebrook

glad you had a blast

8:38 am

72 Temple Owl

not after the driver realized that he had set the car gps and the phone gps for different destinations. harder going through lower manhattan, streets were packed

8:39 am

Anniebrook

next time take the tunnel, you will come out near red hook

8:40 am

72 Temple Owl

which tunnel?

8:40 am

Anniebrook

brooklyn battery tunnel now known as the hugh carey tunnel. but to brooklynites it will always be the brooklyn battery.

8:41 am

72 Temple Owl

we went over a bridge. coming home was easy, via 287/78, goethals

8:41 am

72 Temple Owl

that was the way we missed on the drive up

8:42 am

Anniebrook

then you went over the brooklyn bridge. glad it was easier getting home.

8:42 am

hurshy

goethals prob named after guy who was in charge of building panama canal. his grandson was one of my profs in college :)

8:42 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't think so. is there another bridge?

8:43 am

72 Temple Owl

because the gps was set for the manhattan side and we really wanted the staten island side.

8:43 am

72 Temple Owl

hi hursh

8:44 am

hurshy

hi :)

8:44 am

Anniebrook

anybody know why Brits consider bloody to be a cuss word?

2:09 pm

Farruska

hi all

2:10 pm

hego

Hi Farruska

2:11 pm

MollyL

A little trivia about "bloody"... By one theory, "Bloody" in this context is a contraction for "by our lady", essentially swearing by the Virgin Mary (Bloody in Wikipedia). Other similar oaths include "blimey" (God blind me) and "gadzooks" (by God's hooks (hands)). As to why "Bloody" is considered obscene/profane in the UK more than in the US, I think that's a reflection of a stronger Catholic presence, historically, in the UK than in the US, if we're accepting the above etymology, as Catholics venerate the Virgin to a greater extent than Protestants.

2:13 pm

hego

sounds like a stretch but probably true. Interesting. Thank you.

3:03 pm

Farruska
