12:15 am
rbud
oh, maybe cause it's a proper noun? aha
12:16 am
hurshy
di4 not used often enough in English, either, not as much as ad5
12:17 am

good morning all
2:34 am
Lizlin
Hi and hugs, Sprite
2:34 am
sprite
*hugs Liz* hi there :) How has your week of celebration been?
2:35 am
Lizlin
Had to think about that! Just 2 days. Fine thanks. Not really celebration , as such.
2:36 am
Lizlin
How was your celebratory me All?
2:36 am
sprite
oh sorry :) Thought it was a full week.
2:36 am
Lizlin
And Robs birthdays?
2:36 am
Lizlin
Sorry iPads being a hit glitchy.
2:36 am
sprite
it was great. We had a good time together. And all presents were received with eagerness.
2:37 am
Lizlin
And is Clever Caya sill on cloud 9?
2:37 am
sprite
*giggles* Oh that autocorrect...
2:38 am
sprite
absolutely. We all still are.
2:39 am
Lizlin
Wonderful!
2:40 am
Lizlin
How's your ear?
2:40 am
sprite
only two months left now... then she will be living by herself. Sigh. Ah well, that is the job parents sign on for, right?
2:41 am
sprite
sorry, fingers slipped
2:41 am
Lizlin
True but then you can look forward to visiting her and her visits home.
2:42 am
sprite
true. It will start a whole new kind of relationship with her. Looking forward to that part :) Will miss her here though.
2:43 am
Lizlin
Of course you will.
2:44 am
Lizlin
But I guess it'd be more worrying if she showed no inclination to leave.
2:45 am
sprite
that would be alarming, yes. She is ready to move out and tackle life by herself. And we are still in the background to step in when she wants us to. So it will all be fine. Having kids hurts... fact of life :) But worth it.
2:46 am
Lizlin
I'm sure. Did you miss my question about your ear?
2:47 am
sprite
oh sorry, yes I did. Looks like the antibiotics are working. Swelling is going down a bit. Pain is a little less too. A bit sick from the AB but not insanely so. Thanks for caring :)
2:48 am
Lizlin
Happy that the antibiotics are working. Hopefully the sickness will pass soon.
2:49 am
sprite
how are you and how is your beloved?
2:51 am
Lizlin
All's good here. Except the weather. Loads of rain all down east coast Aus. Still haven't been whale watching yet :( We'll possibly go on Wednesday.
2:52 am
sprite
will keep fingers crossed you can go
2:52 am
Lizlin
Thanks. I'm sure our proper winter weather will set in soon. Calm weather and blue skies. Certainly hope so.
2:53 am
sprite
summer isn't here yet either. Lots of rain, rain, rain. And too cold for the season.
2:54 am
Lizlin
Similar in the UK I believe :(
2:54 am
sprite
yeah and france too, I understand from our ruby.
2:56 am
Lizlin
Think I need to list soon. Pretty stuck.
2:56 am
sprite
I am halfway with only one 7 so far. But that is normal for me. Is it a tough grid?
2:57 am
Lizlin
I think so. Still missing 4 X 7 and 2 X 8
2:57 am
Lizlin
Preferred yesterday's grid
2:57 am
sprite
that was a nice one indeed
3:00 am
sprite
talia is in the grid :)
3:01 am
Lizlin
People are losing faith in Richard!
3:01 am
sprite
bitter, isn't it. I finished the series, btw. Thanks for the headsup on the last two books.
3:02 am
Lizlin
Good. As you'll realise, I'm about halfway through The Omen Machine.
3:03 am
sprite
:D indeed.
3:04 am
Lizlin
Again some of the descriptions are over the top gory but I don't let that get in the way of the narrative.
3:05 am
sprite
good :D He definitely would be an even better writer if he let someone edit his work.
3:06 am
Lizlin
Agree but I guess enough people read his stuff, so why would he worry?
3:07 am
sprite
very true, no real reason except maybe wanting to be as good as you can be, and staying humble enough to realise you can't edit your own stuff... since you are too close to the flame, so to speak.
3:08 am
Lizlin
Some people are too full of themselves to accept that anything of theirs could be improved!
3:08 am
sprite
yep and that shows in their work, alas.
3:09 am
sprite
but, having said that, I still enjoyed the series very much.
3:10 am
Lizlin
Still, I'm enjoying these even with the faults.
3:11 am
sprite
yeah and even though some things are left loose in the end, I really like his end solution for the series. He works out the prophecy angle very intelligently.
3:12 am
Lizlin
i do like the way he ties things up. He did that well in the last series. I like how this continues but so far, could also stand more or less alone.
3:13 am
sprite
yeah it seems like he tries to make them stand alone more, without making us loyal fans feel like we have to read a lot of repeat text. Well done.
3:13 am
Lizlin
Time for a break from this grid. Really not seeing anything now. Lovely chatting. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Hugs.
3:14 am
sprite
you too! *HUGS* for the both of you

oh dear - one of my smoke detectors is chirping because it needs a battery change I guess. WHY do they always pick the wee hours to do so?
5:28 am
crosshair
he always do that at 3 am I find...
5:28 am
MollyL
Ruby in Windows 8 you just need to search EASE OF ACCESS. OTHER EASE OF ACCESS OPTIONS will give you the magnifier.
5:28 am
crosshair
as I said :)
5:29 am
MollyL
One problem people have with Windows 8 is there is no Start menu. That is why I mentioned it.
5:30 am
crosshair
true enough. I did my best to avoid 8
5:30 am
MollyL
I find it very counter intuitive, which is why I am avoiding Windows 10
5:31 am

I suppose it's a silly thing, but these girls works HARD, and there isn't a lot of news around here, so its a good thing to have something to cheer for

I can't wait for tonight.

basketball ruru?
10:11 am
rururocks
I do have to say .. LBJ has been unbelievable in this contest. he's a truly great player

truthfully, I think the Warriors will win, but truthfully, I'm rooting for the CAVS!!!!
10:11 am

Yay!! Only 10 hours in and finally nbt and nbs!! Go me!!
10:11 am

yay worzel
10:12 am

I think the Warriors take it.. but it is far from a sure thing given the way it's been going
10:12 am
worzel
Thank you fans!!!
10:13 am
rururocks
ten hours? really?
10:13 am
MLFAN17
my husband has said that the series was dragged on so it would end in calif and the players get more money. some are also being accused of cheating
10:13 am
worzel
I know ru, shocking isn't it? I put it down to old age
10:13 am
MLFAN17
yes the game starts at 9pm because it is a 3 hour time change
10:14 am
Aloyisius
my husband believes the same for baseball series, MLF
10:14 am
rururocks
tell your husband the players get the same amount of money no matter how many games they play mlf..
10:14 am
MLFAN17
it can happen in any sport alloy that's for sure
10:14 am
MLFAN17
ruru yes but the more games the play the more money they get
10:14 am
rururocks
hey Aloy.. what did you think about that Gator grabbing that little kid at Disneyworld?
10:14 am
Aloyisius
really, ru? for basketball and baseball?
10:15 am
rururocks
that isn't true in the play-offs mlf.. if they only played 4 games they would be paid the same
10:15 am
MLFAN17
any sport aloy
10:15 am
MLFAN17
ruru yes but they get paid as long as they play
10:16 am
Aloyisius
ru, that was so so sad.. and there are many things that could be done to prevent a tragedy like that in the future.. I hope they are implemented asap
10:17 am
rururocks
that's incredible that they didn't post signs near the water
10:17 am
MLFAN17
I think the resort is closed inst it?
10:17 am
Aloyisius
gators are limbic creatures
10:17 am
rururocks
i read about a gator grabbing a fisherman right out of a boat and killing him
10:18 am
rururocks
what do you mean limbic?
10:18 am
Aloyisius
food seeking.. and if people feed them (they do).. makes the problem so much worse because their primitive brains associate people with food
10:19 am
MLFAN17
reports have also said it hadn't happened in years
10:19 am
MLFAN17
if you stay still and leave them alone they will not bother you
10:19 am
rururocks
yes.. i read that too .. that people kept feeding the gators at the resort from their hotel rooms
10:20 am
MLFAN17
apparently those people are stupid and are pretty much asking for trouble
10:20 am
Aloyisius
not normal behavior for most gators.. but MLF, that is not always true.. our neighbor is having problems with a "nuisance gator".. one that approaches instead of veers away when the dogs bark.. not good
10:20 am
rururocks
much of America is really stupid Mlf.. hence Trump is running
10:20 am
MLFAN17
that is scary aloy
10:21 am
MLFAN17
ruru trump and Clinton if you ask me
10:21 am
phaeton
dang...missed my answer. :-(
10:21 am
rururocks
(agrees with MLF)
10:21 am
rururocks
nuisance gator?
10:21 am
MLFAN17
I think its movement aloy
10:22 am
MLFAN17
ty ruru we are in trouble either way I don't like either of them and am not voting
10:22 am
rururocks
I think internationally we'd be better off with CLinton
10:22 am

for an 8 pls
10:23 am

an8/50
10:23 am
rururocks
ad8/50 i mean
10:23 am
MLFAN17
even though I am female I think she is too women oriented
10:23 am
rururocks
she isn't that oriented on Women's issues really
10:23 am
MLFAN17
ad voweland po4
10:23 am
rururocks
I wouldn't vote for her either
10:23 am
Aloyisius
will be a very interesting convention in cleveland.. back to gators.. ru, we live in gator land here.. they are numerous and we often see them kayaking and boating, etc.. they usually slide off their sun banks and avoid humans when we approach, much to the consternation of visitors who want to get a pic.. but our neighbor is describing a gator that needs watching.. it doesn't move away.. it approaches!
10:24 am
MLFAN17
more so then trump but true not all the way
10:24 am
rururocks
oh.. he wants doggy snacks then
10:24 am
Aloyisius
absolutely correct
10:24 am
MLFAN17
alloy I want the warriors to win
10:25 am

I feel the same way, Soodle. I was one of those "nose to the grindstone" types; working hard to pay off school loans and earn money to do things later -- like travel.
4:45 pm

DH & I used to say that we would buy an RV and travel around the whole continent in our "golden" years; buttery time we plan a trip he gets sick for some reason

Ah, Nef. Whoever said 'Youth is wasted on the young'was right!

It would be great to have the energy & health back when we were young....

But, I salute the kids of today & have encouraged my 3 to spread their wings. I think they are the better of it! On an aside..... This grid is Horrible!

I sure don't miss the hangovers. But I miss the ability to get wasted without feeling like a centerarian the next day
4:53 pm
Nef
Soodle, I gave up drinking years ago because I always "paid for it" the next day. I have an occasional glass of wine (3 or 4 times a year) but more than 1 drink & I'd be "hanging over" the toilet the whole next day; even when I was young.

crosshair
Had to work though :(
10:11 pm
Minveryork
What a bummer crossy! You had to work on Father's Day?
10:11 pm
Minveryork
Oops!
10:11 pm
stidmama
thanks, Min! best clue so far! :-D

hey again Jes (and ruru)
10:12 pm
rururocks
hi stid
10:12 pm
stidmama
why did you have to work on Sunday, cross? Thought you were retired for some reason?
10:13 pm
Minveryork
You're welcome stidmama and hi there! Are you don with school for the year? I still have one more full week left :(
10:13 pm
jesdraggon
how's it, stiddy?
10:13 pm
jesdraggon
how's it, stiddy?
10:14 pm
crosshair
Was a temporary sort of thing, stidmama. I took time off to return to school for a few years.
10:14 pm
stidmama
yes, we finished last Tuesday. Good thing, I was about to collapse this year!
10:14 pm
stidmama
oh, I see -- well good for you then! :-D
10:14 pm
jesdraggon
wow. the lag monster is eating my messages.
10:14 pm
stidmama
It IS, Jes -- thinking we are almost ready to rescue another critter. But not until next month or so, still need a fence!
10:15 pm
stidmama
How are you?
10:16 pm
jesdraggon
pretty well - only critters I currently have are cats (one sweet blind boy, and one enthusiastic calico with extra toes and an auto-immune disease).
10:16 pm
jesdraggon
You just missed the abandoned pomeranian
10:17 pm
stidmama
bummer - although poms are pretty hairy aren't they? need a lot of brushing?
10:18 pm
jesdraggon
yeah, small long-haired dogs. he was a mix, so not as woolly as a purebred.
10:20 pm
stidmama
did he find a good family?
10:21 pm
jesdraggon
yeah, the mother of one of my employees
10:22 pm
jesdraggon
what kind of critter will you be looking for?
10:23 pm
jesdraggon
You'd probably love Eli, but I expect you're still allergic to cats.
10:23 pm
stidmama
VERY allergic. MAkes me sad, since I like them, and they like me.
10:24 pm
stidmama
Canine, of course. There is a mix female who might be coming available locally in a few more weeks -- I have a friend who is at the local shelter. But puppies need to be weaned, of course.
10:24 pm
stidmama
I am actually going to hope for more than one though, since when I am teaching I am gone long hours.
10:26 pm
stidmama
But Tom isn't quite ready... fingers crossed he will be soon!
10:26 pm
jesdraggon
little? big? breed preference? age?
10:28 pm
stidmama
Has to not need regular "exercising" because of my mobility issues. Has to be good with other dogs (my parents' Murphy will visit). I don't care so much about breed or age, but would prefer a critter that doesn't have HUGE health issues... animals with food allergies however would fit right in! LOL
10:29 pm
stidmama
Oh, and one that won't chase cats. There are so many in the neighborhood.
10:29 pm
stidmama
oooh. I am halfway!
10:30 pm
stidmama
But I am patient... I know that the right pup will show up and we will be ready enough.
10:32 pm
jesdraggon
treadmills are great for exercising when you can't keep up with them :)
10:32 pm
stidmama
for REAL? I thought those were just youtube jokes!
10:33 pm
jesdraggon
no, they're great. I mean, you have to train them of course, but it's fantastic for high energy dogs in bad weather :)
10:34 pm
stidmama
hm. Something to consider!
10:35 pm
jesdraggon
I have to admit it's hugely hilarious to watch the corgi plow through the deep snow though.
10:37 pm
stidmama
I have seen photos of that. Too cute!
10:38 pm
jesdraggon
I emailed you a link to pictures of Eli :)
10:38 pm
stidmama
thanks *goes to look*
10:39 pm
stidmama
WOW. TOTES. If I were not allergic, I would drive over tonight!
10:41 pm
jesdraggon
he's just as sweet as he is cute too :)
10:41 pm
stidmama
Posted the link to fb in case someone on my list has room for him. He is precious. Any reason for the blindness?
10:41 pm
jesdraggon
retinal degeneration
10:42 pm
stidmama
oh - like glaucoma?
10:42 pm
stidmama
or like Macular ?
10:42 pm
jesdraggon
no, no pressure change or pain, just the retina doesn't work
10:43 pm
stidmama
oh, okay.
10:45 pm
stidmama
how are things otherwise? WEather clement? We were in Spokane for a reading conference in April, but time was a little tight.
10:46 pm
jesdraggon
so all the front of they eye is normal, but when the light hits the back it doesn't react or transmit signal
10:46 pm
jesdraggon
it's been nice - rainy, but we need it. Swamped at work, desperately need another doctor.
10:46 pm
stidmama
Was hoping to see you at some point this year. :-(
10:47 pm
stidmama
I wish you could find someone!
10:47 pm
jesdraggon
well, i'll try to find you a dog that I have to bring over :)
11:01 pm
stidmama

11:29 pm
stidmama
LOL no worries Jes -- I am having trouble with allergies or a cold tonight. COmpletely fell apart for a few minutes. Time to look pitiful and request a hot lemonade, methinks.
11:30 pm
stidmama
sweet dreams, Jes and all -- I am outta here. *poof*
