grannyrose
it's okay sprite. at least this time with this man my interest stayed, no brain fog which was a blessing. and don has taken on board his advice re don's finances.
1:16 am

1:17 am
sprite

1:34 am
medusa
Why is it when you want time to go slow it speeds past but when you want it to go fast is drags? lol
1:35 am
sprite
the perverse imp of time management is responsible for that
1:35 am
medusa
Wait til I get my hands on the little swine! lol
1:36 am
sprite
you hold him and I will kick his nasty little butt!
1:36 am
medusa
Sounds like a plan to me. Bloody postman wont be here for a while yet and should get a nice little package. lol
1:37 am
grannyrose
and i'll smack his ears together
1:37 am
sprite
ooo I love packages. Even when I have ordered them myself, they still feel like presents.
1:37 am
medusa
I will ripo his legs off so he can't come and find us again!
1:37 am
sprite
yay rose! We'll teach him!
1:38 am
medusa
Don't they? I just bought myself a sewing pattern for a bag and my handbag is falling apart. lol
1:38 am
grannyrose
strange medusa. i get that reaction every time i say that. except for himself... he just shudders.
1:39 am
sprite
oh, nice, medusa! Wow, sewing your own bag, awesome.
1:39 am
grannyrose
yeah, what sprite said.
1:39 am
medusa
If it can be sewn I will have a go. There are 2 designs on this pattern, a rucksack style one and a basic one.
1:40 am
sprite
*enjoys sharing a brainwave with rose, as usual*
1:40 am
medusa
Can't get enough of my needlecrafts.
1:40 am
grannyrose
i'll just sit here and let sprite flap her gums. she always says what i want to say.
1:40 am
sprite
I hear ya. Am into crotcheting at the moment, very much enjoying doing it while bingewatching tv series
1:41 am
sprite
only difference between us is I type faster, rose, lolol
1:41 am
medusa
Once I have moved I will be making dogs beds for my gang and going to see if I have room to make them their own little row of houses too with a penthouse on top for the cat. ;)
1:41 am
grannyrose
hmmm crotcheting... folks, sprite likes to fiddle with her crotch...
1:41 am
sprite
oh wow, that should be fun, medusa
1:42 am
sprite
darn it! crocheting. I always check my spelling with that one... and now I didn't. Sigh.
1:42 am
grannyrose
and she uses a hook to do it....
1:42 am
sprite
and well, yes rose, I do, but only in private and not while watching tv.
1:42 am
sprite
playing hookie :P
1:43 am
medusa
Will be a mission but fun. Will probs crochet the main pieces coz it will be fasster! Gonna see if I can get some plastic tubing for the frames. My dogs are all small so not so bad
1:43 am
grannyrose
<-----wonders just how kinky sprite really is
1:43 am
medusa
LMAO rose!
1:43 am
sprite
sweetie, you have no idea :D
1:44 am
grannyrose
i can hardly see the screen i am laughing so hard
1:44 am
medusa
Well I need the laughs right now so this is cool for me. ;)
1:44 am
sprite
as they say here, laughing is healthy, it shakes up your liver ;)
1:45 am
medusa
That is does. Like I say, been down a lot recently so need the laughs.
1:45 am
grannyrose
in that case i have a very healthy liver.
1:45 am
medusa
Mine is recovering well to right now. lol
1:45 am
grannyrose
medusa, just log in when sprite and i are here, necer a dull moment
1:45 am
sprite
*hugs medusa* I know that feeling, honey. It can be a tough battle, uphill all the way. Am so glad we can make you laugh :)
1:47 am
medusa
Well it dosn't help that I have such a nasty, intimidating landlord that live in a house on the same plot as me and parks right by my front door in the parking area.
1:47 am
sprite
ouch! That certainly doesn't help. But you are moving out?
1:47 am
grannyrose
what a nasty little man!!! why is he set on intimidating you?
1:48 am
medusa
I am and had someone from environmenal health round a couple of days ago and told her everything. She works in the housing depertment at the council too. She is going to get someone to talk to him, get him investigated and get me some help out of here as soon as she can. ;)
1:49 am
medusa
On top of that he nearly lost me one of my dogs which broke my heart but found out yesterday that once I have moved and she has had her op she will come home!
1:49 am
sprite
ah am so glad, medusa. If you can't have peace in your own home, it is way too hard to feel ok.
1:50 am
grannyrose
medusa, what a terrible tale of woe. and your poor pet is caught up in it too!! how vile.
1:51 am
medusa
It is sprite. I get the feeling half my little village is scared of him rose. He owns half of it but acts like he owns it all. Not 1 person I have spoken to likes him but they wont do anything about it. I was planning to once I moved but then this laady came and is going to see what she can do. She was lovely.
1:51 am
sprite
am so glad, medusa. You need your pet babies with you.
1:51 am
medusa
He is just nasty.
1:51 am
grannyrose
ummm, what sprite said.
1:52 am
grannyrose
is he british medusa?
1:52 am
sprite
sounds like he is a sorry little excuse for a man and someone who has no business being a landlord, or in any position of power, or in any situation involving human beings
1:53 am
medusa
I have my cat and the boys here. The woman that hes Purl came to see the puppies and he came over, in front of her, her friend that brought her and her 3 children, and started yelling at me. When the woman asked if we could go a bit further up he said he owns this plot and I was not allowed on it!
1:53 am
sprite
ohhhh found a biggie combo that brings A Christmas Carol to mind.
1:53 am
medusa
He is just a vile man and hopefully he will lose his properties and be struck off as a landlord.
1:54 am
medusa
He is brittish rose.
1:54 am
medusa
lol sprite. wtg
1:54 am
sprite
so sorry, medusa. What a bully.
1:54 am
grannyrose
such a shame that one bad apple has to spoil the whole barrel
1:55 am
sprite
*plugs said landlord into that barrel, adds rotten fish and throws it down a waterfall*
1:55 am
medusa
He is a bully. It is rose. Sad thing is I get on so well with everyone but him in the village. It is so pretty and friendly but he makes it so ugly.
1:55 am
medusa
LMAO sprite.
1:55 am
grannyrose
yay sprite. good for you
1:56 am
medusa
So you can now see how needed these laughs are. Today is the first day I have woken with a smile for a few days.
1:56 am
sprite
it is a shame we are living in modern times. Back in the day, you could have found willing knights to put down that dragon for you.
1:56 am
grannyrose
yay sprite. medu7sa hyas laughed... not for the first time... our job is done sweetie
1:56 am
sprite
medusa, it is impossible to keep a good woman down. He can try, but you will win.
1:57 am
medusa
Well if all goes well I think I might have just done that myself. The good thing about modern times is that women can be knights too. ;)
1:58 am
medusa
I never stay down long. Once I have moved and got my baby back I will bounce back so fast.
1:58 am
sprite
absofreakinlutely. I have the feeling lots of knights back then were women too. Who could tell behind the closed visors, right?
1:58 am
grannyrose
<---- polishing medusa's armor until it bedazzles the horrible troll
1:58 am
medusa
Thing is when I knock someone down they very rarely get back up. When they do it is very slowly
1:59 am
medusa
lol rose. ;)
1:59 am
grannyrose

1:59 am
sprite
hehehe, good for you, medusa.
2:00 am
grannyrose
and you have an iron knuckle-duster hidden in your gauntlet.
2:00 am
medusa
Yep. Surprised i have not snapped I bounce back so fast. I nearly died a few weeks ago, I bounced back a week later with a colostomy bag but that will be going soon.
2:01 am
medusa
Thanks for that rose. Do ou want it back when I am done with iit? lol
2:01 am
sprite
you are amazing, medusa. You are woman hear you roar!
2:01 am
medusa
Sorry for all the double letters that should not be, shaky hands. ;)
2:01 am
grannyrose
good for you medusa. keeping you in my prayers.
2:02 am
sprite
you make perfect sense to me. To hell with spelling. And shaking hands might actually improve your babble skills. Seeing how some words are crazy.
2:02 am
medusa
lol. Thanks sprite. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I think I am so solid now nothing can get through. lol
2:02 am
medusa
Thank you rose. :)
2:02 am

Am hoping to be nearer a church that opens on Sundays when I have moved. ;)

4:36 am
zoozzoom
well thank you. How about yourself?
4:36 am
rubyfoo
It's still a little chilly in the AM but no rain! Yay
4:39 am
zoozzoom
This time of the year it takes a while for the sun to burn through the sea mist here. But by the early afternoon the sun is out in force :-)
4:40 am
rubyfoo
I read in the chog yesterday (was lurkig), that you had no weeds. Were you being facitious or are you re**ly that good?
4:40 am
zoozzoom
Ah I did post after that comment that i do have a few weeds :-)
4:41 am
zoozzoom
And no I am not good at garening at all but I do try!
4:41 am

Gardening*
4:42 am
zoozzoom
I am not that good at spelling either by the looks of it lol
4:42 am
rubyfoo
I do a few minutes each day, but lack the energy to do very much. But the garden is beautiful, nonetheless
4:43 am
rubyfoo
hahah Otyerwide you'd be too perfect!
4:43 am
zoozzoom
Just googled it and it says it is called a wild carrot?
4:43 am
rubyfoo

4:43 am
zoozzoom
LOL you are funny, Ruby :-)
4:45 am
rubyfoo
Related to parsnip and hemlock, which "crops up" in UK crime programs from time to time
4:46 am

Subtle but deadlyy poison. Personally, unlike Socrates, I would just take Benadryl and morhine and wash it down with vida
4:47 am
rubyfoo
morphie* (I should know how to spell it by now) and vodka* (ditto)
4:47 am
zoozzoom
I take benadryl at certain times of the year for hay fever. But have not worked out what it is that sets me off yet.
4:47 am
rubyfoo
morphine* duh!
4:48 am
zoozzoom
lol I knew what you meant, Ruby :-)
4:48 am
rubyfoo
Benadryl, another Wonder drug, but dangerous if combined with alcohol
4:49 am
zoozzoom
No often I drink alcohol so I am okay!
4:50 am
zoozzoom
Don't drink alcohol due to other tablets I take. But do not miss it much anyway :-)
4:52 am

I used to drink with mu husband, but since I take morphine, I oinly drink when I go to restaurants
4:54 am

The only catch last night was the cats were chasing each other and one of them practically pulled the entire blanket off of me.
6:06 am
zoozzoom
They are, Sukee. So soft and warm. And you can swap them for a heavier tog or a lighter tog for the summer months!
6:06 am
bichon
I like duvets too, but it gets so hote here in the summer, I just use a top sheet and maybe a light blanket
6:07 am
zoozzoom
lol they like to play at nights and don't care if you are asleep. you should be joining in lol
6:07 am
sukee
Yes, I usually just use a top sheet in the summer.
6:07 am
sukee
Sure zoo, I just wish they didn't treat my bed as a launching point :)
6:08 am

Unfortunately we do not get many very warm nights so that is not a problem I would love to have here.

The history of "pop" V.S soda is quite interesting, really. It stems for the way in which we used to bottle so4 it in the early days. We used thick, heavy glass bottles called "cod stoppers." Instead of a cork or cap, these cod-stoppers had a rubber ring with a glass marble inserted in the neck. The carbonation seated the marble up against the rubber washer, providing an effective seal. the way to open one of these was to use a pencil or a stick wand rap sharply on the top of the marble to break the seal. this made a loud "pop" sound hence the name. Unfortunately, kids began braking the bottles instead of returning them for deposit so as to get the colorful glass marbles trapped within. The bottles were soon discontinued.
7:07 am
crosshair
excuse typos
7:07 am
Scrabbler
Aha. Around here we call it pop.
7:08 am

I have some of those cod stoppers in my kitchen :-)

Katz is a common Jewish name

I would just think, being so close to NY, that they couldn't use that name (Katz's deli) without trademark infringement

just googled it, no connection... interesting
11:23 am
EvaNadine
id think the same, kje -- interesting to know it's not!
11:23 am

the NYC one is Katz's delicatessen rather than Katz's deli as in CT...

She is very fortunate Soodle. Both of my older kids wanted to travel overseas when they were her age, but it wasn't financially feasible.

Uneaixoise
Soodle, there were nearly 90,000 fans here for last year's festival! LOL
4:37 pm
MollyL
Ack Une. Stay in the house and hide until it's all over.
4:37 pm
Soodle
Hey!! She is 21. One of my biggest regrets is that I didn't do something similar when I was her age. She worked 2 jobs plus college all year to finance this trip. Bon Voyage, I say!!! (I'll still miss her like crazy....)
4:38 pm
MollyL
Like I said, she is very fortunate. Good for her.

4:39 pm
ChampFit
Good for her! She's going to have a great time, I'm sure.
4:43 pm
Soodle
Now, all I have to do is find something to entertain/occupy me in her absence, that costs zero! Hmm
