*hugs* hello my dear friend, I am happy to see you. How are you holding up?

1:39 am

I am proud of you! I know it is tough. But it is the only way to bear the waiting time until treatment. *warm hug*
Mwah, night was bumpy. Highly unpleasant dreams.

1:41 am

grannyrose

ugh on bumpy night. will you have a chance to rest later today?

1:41 am

grannyrose

i see.... not a lot of 'me' time then

1:42 am

sprite

not really. Must get groceries and cook dinner today too. My friend, who has been my friend since first grade, is someone who talks a lot... I might take an hour to nap after she leaves, and then go for the groceries.

1:42 am

grannyrose

sounds like a good plan honey.

1:43 am

sprite

yeah :) will find a way to make it all fit. With rest in between. Am happy to see her again, so it is all good. What are your plans for tomorrow?

1:44 am

grannyrose

taking a long time to do the washing. i.e. one load, sit for 30 minutes, etc... lollll if i take long enough himself may take over after he does the shopping.

1:45 am

sprite

taking it slow is the right way. And it won't hurt Don at all to take some of the load off your hands.

1:53 am

2:12 am

grannyrose

are you loving this grid? i had such fun with it. only needed dictionary for about 10 words. i am getting better at recognising words with just the first two letters. once i don't ne4 that prompt i should be close to as good as you, broll, ruru

So the racist, xenophobes and the uninformed masses have helped the non Europeans among you to have cheap (for the moment) holidays in the UK. Oh Discordia.

2:23 am

juniperberet

On the bright side, hey a Dark Tower reference :)

2:24 am

mattygroves

Yep! I'm a bit of a fangirl ;)

2:24 am

mattygroves

Yep! I'm a bit of a fangirl ;)

2:26 am

juniperberet

Me too! I'm bizarrely excited for the film, since they're going for a 'sequel'/last go around the wheel thing so they won't ruin the books (hopefully). And Idris Elba is the gunslinger.

2:27 am

mattygroves

Yes! The thing with King adaptations is they can be a bit hit and miss, though. Fingers crossed....

2:27 am

juniperberet

Lol, that's half the fun of anticipating them. Fingers *definitely* crossed on this one.

2:31 am

mattygroves

Cameron's resigned.

2:32 am

juniperberet

See, things aren't as bleak as we thought when we woke up this morning ;) Arrogant twat.

2:33 am

mattygroves

So we'll get Boris as Prime Minister and Gove as Deputy, with Farage as dickhead on the cabinet. The world indeed moves on.

Me,too, Trif. Something to chew on

4:12 am

The littleones are no fun at all!

4:12 am

How are you?

4:12 am

Trifioso

oh that damned goose has the center all to itself! how excited it must be!

4:13 am

Trifioso

I'm okay. enjoying being off school. how are you?

4:20 am

rubyfoo

We are supposed to have another scorcher and I love it! If hot weatther come, it is almosst always in June.

4:20 am

Trifioso

I love hot weather, I must admit. much better than cold

4:21 am

Trifioso

we are going to Ireland in july, for a week or so. I'm getting really excited

4:22 am

rubyfoo

Currants are almost ready to be picked (not by me, the housekeeper's sons will do the picking). And I think there'll be a lot of figs, but they're late this year because of the cold spring.

4:22 am

rubyfoo

Oh yes, you are so Lucky to hve a chance to meet Soodle!!

4:23 am

rubyfoo

I wish I could travel; I'd be there in a heartbeat!

4:23 am

Trifioso

I am up to my eyeballs in lettuce at present....I planted way too much!

4:31 am

Trifioso

there are some seriously dubious past tense words today

4:34 am

rubyfoo

That's funny, I never plants lettuce or anything soft because I can't use insecticide and there are slugs and other insects who would eat it immediately

4:35 am

Trifioso

I dont' know why it grows so well here...I don't use any sort of treatments either. and we have bunnies hopping all over, but they leave it alone.

4:37 am

rubyfoo

All my Neighbors grow lettuce

4:37 am

Trifioso

I hope they share! that is one of the best things about gardening - sharing it out

4:49 am

rubyfoo

Last year I had so many figs,that I was able to share them. And in good tomato years, I share them, too

4:50 am

rubyfoo

(they don't share)

4:50 am

Trifioso

sorry, I am just reading up on what happened in the UK.

4:51 am

rubyfoo

It is very depressing, watching the news. I think Brexit will impact the whole world

4:51 am

rubyfoo

Xenophobia is taking over, making all of us less safe

5:27 am

rubyfoo

yay, here comes lunch

5:30 am

godthaab

Not sure of the connection between xenophobia and Brexit....

5:36 am

hydra

Many of us are very depressed today. The future suddenly feels uncertain. The ramifications will spread far and wide. Our PM has just resigned.

5:37 am

zoozzoom

Agreed, Hydra.

5:41 am

little mim

well said hydra, struggling to understand peoples reasoning

5:43 am

Jivingjenny0

could some one clue the re9 please

5:45 am

hydra

I have an re8 word, but no re9 yet, Jenny,

5:46 am

zoozzoom

Re9 to put needle into arm again.

5:47 am

Jivingjenny0

thanks zoozzoom

5:47 am

zoozzoom

That is for the RE 8 & 9

5:48 am

hydra

Why can't I see the re9? I have re8 but it ends with ed.

5:48 am

hydra

So you can't pluralise it.

5:49 am

zoozzoom

Different word altogether, Hydra.

5:49 am

Oh! Thanks, zoom

I must get ready for work. Enjoy the day.

6:05 am

bichon

Have you had any rain where you are Scrabs? We've barely had any this month and I am tired of watering my flowers

6:06 am

Scrabbler

A little bit yesterday, a few thunderstorms, but we are definitely behind in rainfall. The ground is dry and I have to setup my sprinkler for my gardens every 2-3 days.

6:08 am

bichon

I've grown some things in compost and they stay moister

6:08 am

Scrabbler

I have 9 tomato plants in large pots and they are doing very well.

6:10 am

bichon

The woodchucks have eaten my neighbor's tomato plants, but not mine

6:11 am

Scrabbler

Woodchucks aren't in our neighborhood but raccoons, deer, skunks, foxes, squirrels, etc are all scavengers for food.

6:12 am

Scrabbler

OK, I must go now.

6:20 am

hydra

Brilliant! Hi all.

6:21 am

rubyfoo

Hi, Hydra, I saw your earlier post and I, too, am disappointed with the Brexit vote. I think we'll all be less safe now

6:22 am

bichon

Why would they want to exit the Union?

6:24 am

rubyfoo

It seems crazy to me but then again, why would anybody support Trumpfff? You can never underestimate the stupidity of the people

6:25 am

bichon

Yes, then there's that. I saw a great sign on a lawn Republican for Hilary

7:04 am

Anniebrook

good for you,bichon

7:05 am

Anniebrook

I just woke up. I thought the sign was on your lawn, bichon.

Working an extra shift this morning and I would rather be kayaking on a beautiful summer day. But I will hike this afternoon.

7:56 am

I have two perfect Trails set up, should you ever venture up this way. :)

7:58 am

Scrabbler

My life has been far too busy for me lately--work, doing art projects, helping to take care of my great-nephews. I need more time for me to hike and kayak...to escape to Ontario!

7:58 am

crosshair

Wife and I hiked the entire Petun Side-trail on the Bruce a week or so ago and it was amazing, and also the John haig Side trail. Both make for a great half-day hike or 3 hours each--give or take

7:59 am

Of three hours each*

8:02 am

I have a nice comfy couch, a bookcase full of books and a scrabble board, waiting for you if you ever can ever squeeze in some time to visit our area to check out our secret hiking paths.

8:02 am

Scrabbler

My sister and I hiked over 8 miles last week and that was more than I like to do. I prefer a morning hike (3 hrs) and then afternoon kayaking.

8:03 am

That is what we prefer--3 to 4 k

8:03 am

half-day hikes

8:04 am

Ones where you can take your time and explore

8:06 am

crosshair

Wife and son each picked up a set of those fancy adjustable hiking poles, but they seem to be fussy things that forever need adjusting. I think i shall stay with my fixed length poles.

8:06 am

Scrabbler

We hiked so long that we had no time for a paddle. But that is because the map was confusing and we couldn't find the lean-to. We finally found it, had a late lunch, and hiked over 8 miles instead of 6. The map appeared to label trails as loops but it was confusing.

8:06 am

Anniebrook

found the de 8/9 by myself *smug*

8:06 am

I adjust mine to 120 cm every time.

The locks on the poles never seem to hold. they will be walking along and one will let go on them.

8:07 am

Anniebrook

thanks, Molly

8:07 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Crossy, that happens to me and it a weight issue. Tighten the screws.

8:08 am

crosshair

I am actually using a old set of bamboo ski poles from the 50's, and they are beautiful things with leather wrist straps and comfy hand grips.

8:10 am

Scrabbler

Nice.

Annie, share, pls

We are also eyeing some new day-packs. The Osprey Talon 22 seems to be very nice.

Hi Scrabs!

8:49 am

Scrabbler

Enterovirus is epidemic in the summer and causes a variety of illnesses, especially in kids, all summer. Mostly we see kids with mouth sores/ulcers, and hand/foot/mouth disease, diarrhea, headaches/fever, and occasionally with viral meningitis.

8:49 am

Scrabbler

I just order a plama re5/5 test on a kid this morning.

Once Poland joined the EU, many men came to work in britain, because our wages were so much higher. In the main, they did jobs British people didn't want - working in abbatoirs, picking crops by hand.

11:00 am

rubyfoo

I think the French have always been anti-Semitic, but not very openly but the UK was always better

11:01 am

Glantarell

But, a lot are also in the bulding trade, and despite people here not liking that, I think they are harder working and better builders than the British ones!

poles who came to the US 100 years ago made many of the highways and bridges

I think people here have forgotten how many Polish men came here in WW2 and flew and maintained our planes - we could not have managed without them

11:02 am

I don't understand Jews living in France. There's anti-Semitism here, but it's not a serious situation. More towards Muslims

I think one of the big differences between immigrantion in the late 1800s and immigration today, is that maybe (because there were so many people emigrating form so many countries in the 1800s) they integrated more quickly than immigrants have done here in the last 40 years

11:06 am

HarryHood

on that note, off the the supermarket.

perogies are a wedge shaped pasta shell about 1.5" long that are stuffed with mashed potato, and sometimes potato with cheese or onion added. You can fry them, but I prefer to boil them until tender then brown them lightly in a fry pan before serving. Toppings can be the same as for a baked potato.

4:02 pm

lilliann

Sorry,now watching news about the referendum

4:06 pm

tabbycat

I was surprised by how the brexit vote came out. When I went to bed it was leaning toward staying in the EU.

4:10 pm

lilliann

I t had been up and down all night Tabby

4:45 pm

periwinkle

hi folks, help with co8 pls

4:45 pm

periwinkle

EU?

4:47 pm

lilliann

hi Peri.no eu's.

4:47 pm

cybernan

silliest

4:48 pm

MollyL

I think she was referring to the EU comment from Tabby, European Union?

4:48 pm

lilliann

Duh!! European union

4:48 pm

periwinkle

yes, Molly thanks

4:48 pm

periwinkle

I have not been watching the news

4:48 pm

lilliann

Aye, i realized that just before you posted Molly.

4:48 pm

periwinkle

ty for cr8

4:49 pm

cybernan

hi everyone

4:49 pm

lilliann

Hi Nan

4:49 pm

periwinkle

hi nan

4:50 pm

lilliann

co is more ofthe vegetable on the cobb

4:50 pm

MollyL

It's kind of nice that the WOW political news is not about the US for once.

4:51 pm

periwinkle

I meant ty for co8

4:51 pm

lilliann

I'm still watching the news about the referendum.

4:51 pm

cybernan

except that trump congratulated scotland on becoming independent when a large majority of scots voted to stay in the eu

4:52 pm

cybernan

I'm thinking he must like the taste of shoe leather!

4:52 pm

lilliann

That made me laugh nan.They want out and northern Ireland

4:53 pm

MollyL

I will never figure out why a country does not want to become independent.

4:53 pm

lilliann

mean they want to remain in Europe but want out of the U.K

4:54 pm

cybernan

yes - well quebec want's out of canada, but they can't afford it! -- same with scotland and northern ireland

4:55 pm

lilliann

The only other places which wanted to stop in was London and newcastle and a few around the country.

4:56 pm

cybernan

going to be a customs hassle for those of us that like to travel through London to get to the rest of europe

4:57 pm

lilliann

Exactly Nan.Scotland and Northern Ireland can't afford it without us, But Scotland wanted their Independence but without us they couldn't get into the EU but now they want to remain!

4:59 pm

lilliann

That won't be any different nan as you've got to go through customs to get across the water.

5:00 pm

cybernan

yes, but right now we don't have to go through customs to go from Britain to other countries in the eu --- no customs stops between any of the eu countries.

5:00 pm

lilliann

Yes you do

5:01 pm

cybernan

once we land in an eu country and go through customs that is it for the rest of our trip.

5:01 pm

lilliann

When you go from Britain to any country you have to go through customs

5:03 pm

lilliann

Aye, but that depends if you're stopping in the same country

5:03 pm

cybernan

we flew from canada to britain to italy --- went through customs when we entered Britain, but don't remember going through customs in Italy -- just a passport check.

5:04 pm

cybernan

no customs between italy and austria either

5:04 pm

lilliann

They'll have custom officers around, normally hidden behind dark windows(two way glass)and will know who is on each flight and who to look for

5:05 pm

cybernan

nor italy and greece

5:06 pm

MollyL

I guess when you have become dependent on another country to run yours for many, many years, it's hard to break free. It's like the 40 year old guy who still lives in Mom and Dad's basement.

5:06 pm

lilliann

The ferry ports will have a few customs people about so you can see them the rest are hidden and watching

5:06 pm

cybernan

we had to fill out a declaration form for Britain, but that was the only one.

5:07 pm

lilliann

Believe me, the customs people are there.I have a family member who is one.

5:11 pm

cybernan

I'm sure they are, Lilliann - my point was we didn't have to fill out a declaration form and go through customs other than on our entry to Britain. We did have to show our passport when we entered a new country, but I don't consider that as going through customs. When we go south, we have to stop and answer questions at customs on our way into the US and again when we come back to Canada. We are supposed to have a free trade agreement, but there are so many "exceptions" we might as well can it.

5:13 pm

cybernan

I think part of it is that everyone's luggage is pretty well screened before you board the plane.

5:14 pm

lilliann

I must admit,when we've been to Europe in the past,passport patrol was more than customs.I think maybe more now in Europe after the past vents of this year.

5:15 pm

cybernan

The problem with "breaking free", Molly, is not having become dependent on someone else to govern, but rather the very high cost of setting up a new infrastructure.

5:16 pm

cybernan

yes -- we saw a lot more people being asked to open luggage on this last trip than ever before.

5:16 pm

lilliann

That was probably because you came from Britain so they know you were screened but that doesn't mean owt.I think alot of European countries got lax

5:17 pm

cybernan

*at airport security, I mean

5:18 pm

lilliann

In fact alot of countries around the world got lax.

5:18 pm

MollyL

Yes Nan, very true. My country did it before they could become forever dependent on England. I'm sure it is easier to do when a country is new than after years of relying on another country for financial assistance.

5:18 pm

lilliann

When did you last travl nan and where?

5:19 pm

lilliann

I don't know whether it's a good or bad thing with the U.K now.we'll see

5:19 pm

cybernan

Last fall we spent time in London, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Croatia, Austria and the Czech Republic

5:20 pm

lilliann

Wow! Did you do coach trips or just your own thing?

5:21 pm

lilliann

How long was your trip?

5:21 pm

cybernan

part was on our own and part was a coach/cruise - part of Italy and an Adriatic cruise.

5:22 pm

cybernan

We were gone for 5 weeks - 3 weeks of that was on our own.

5:24 pm

lilliann

I bet you had a great time.I've never been to Croatia,Austria or Czech Republic but i love Greece,saying that i've only been to Corfu but loads of times.

5:24 pm

cybernan

We've been comng to Europe about every 2 years for the last 16 years - have a cousin in Scotland.

5:25 pm

lilliann

That was alot of Countries in little time.If you come back to the Uk, you'll have to come to the North East

5:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

re8/50 pls? ty

5:26 pm

cybernan

yes we did -- it was our first time for a lot of the places. Greece was just a one day stop in Athens, but took a Greek taxi tour and had a marvellous guide.

5:26 pm

lilliann

Oh cool.

5:27 pm

lilliann

re8/50 is re use sharp needle things in sewing

5:27 pm

cybernan

re 8: attached again -- not sure if it was with the straight or safety variety

5:27 pm

lilliann

Sorry, i'm tired so my clues suck!!

5:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty nan

5:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

something is wrong. is there an 8/50 before that one? i think it us the second re words

5:29 pm

lilliann

Nan, where else have you been in the last 16 years?

5:29 pm

cybernan

oh yes there is: the king's representative + Mr. gore

5:30 pm

cybernan

*ruler for an incapacitated king or queen

5:31 pm

Soodle

Sorry for butting in, but I think the Brexit vote was a HUGE mistake by Britain. I think the campaign for a leave vote was based on scaremongering, I think Nigel Farange is a gob-shite & Boris Johnson is on record as saying he doesn't care about staying in the EU or exiting - he just wants to be PM. It's very scary stuff.

5:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

a clue pls for the first re8/50? ty

5:33 pm

lilliann

re8, r and spy but different vowel and ** gore

5:33 pm

cybernan

oh my goodness, most of Scotland, York, all along the channel coast, Alsace-Lorraine, Paris, the Loire, south of France and cote d'azur, up the east coast of France, Cinque Terra and Florence, Vienna, a river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest and a river cruise from Moscow to St.Petersburg

5:33 pm

lilliann

TO, Nan just clued it for you

5:34 pm

cybernan

see 5:29/30 TO

5:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

no, lil, it is before that one.

5:35 pm

lilliann

((soodle)).I can't be doing with Nigel Farange or boris

5:35 pm

lilliann

That is the first 8 TO

5:36 pm

cybernan

Now you know what most of us think about Trum, Soodle

5:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty all

5:36 pm

cybernan

add mr gore to the first re 6, TO

5:36 pm

cybernan

*trump

5:37 pm

MollyL

I'm not sure how any comment about what is going on with British politics keeps coming back to Trump.

5:37 pm

cybernan

it was the description of the politician, molly

5:37 pm

lilliann

I think alot of people in this country have had enough of Brussels telling us what we can and can't do and the amount of money that is payed to the EU

5:40 pm

Soodle

Lol, Nan! I think the right-minded percentage of the world's population agree on the Trump thing.

5:40 pm

lilliann

I'm not talking about politics or religion.It always causes arguments!

5:40 pm

cybernan

I didn't realize that Brussels had such control -- did all foreign trade agreements have to go through the EU governing body?

5:42 pm

MollyL

I don't think anyone is arguing here. Just expressing different opinions. That is how adults talk.

5:43 pm

lilliann

Nan, you've been to lots of places.My parentslive in the Loire.Did you like York?

5:43 pm

MollyL

I am certainly not a Trump supporter. I just didn't understand why a conversation about what is going on in England ended up with a Trump comment.

5:43 pm

Soodle

I confess to not being right up to speed on the whole Brexit thing. I'm basing my statements on people I spoke to on my recent visit to the UK. I was VERY alarmed by the vitriolic rascism I witnessed firsthand.

5:44 pm

cybernan

Loved York -- we were fortunate to have great weather the week we were there and as we had rented a car for the duration, we covered a lot of territory.

5:44 pm

lilliann

I didn't say anyone was Molly, i just don't like talking about politics or religion because some people get offended and i am an adult!

5:45 pm

cybernan

Same thing for the Loire - we stayed for 2 weeks in a gite on a farm just south of Amboise.

5:45 pm

MollyL

I find political conversations very interesting. And those who get offended are free to turn off the chat.

5:47 pm

Soodle

Technically - the chat about Brexit is no longer political. Its fact. Democracy!! I'm just concerned about the fall-out

5:48 pm

MollyL

There is a lot of disturbing political stuff going on in the world, in several countries. It's only natural that people would want to discuss it. Talking about things helps.

5:48 pm

cybernan

I still don't understand what immigration policy has to do with an economic union.

5:49 pm

cybernan

I didn't think anyone was forcing Britain to take x number of refugees.

5:49 pm

MollyL

Immigration is a huge issue in the US. We have an economy based on unemployed Americans who can't get jobs because employers are hiring illegals.

5:50 pm

cybernan

but as with the polish immigrants in europe, the mexicans are doing jobs no one else will do.

5:51 pm

Soodle

It's not refugees thats the problem, Nan. It's those who, under EU law, are entitled to come and live, work & claim benefits in the UK.

5:52 pm

MollyL

Does all this affect your kids working in England, Soodle?

5:52 pm

Soodle

..... Said the. A.

5:52 pm

Soodle

..... Said the. A.

5:52 pm

cybernan

oh, wow -- I didn't know the union agreement made those guarantees --- wouldn't like that either!

5:53 pm

Soodle

Said the Babbler whose 2 eldest are residing & working in the UK & youngest is working a Summer job in the US...

5:53 pm

cybernan

is it for anyone who wants to emmigrate to the UK or just those who are trained for jobs where there are employee shortages in the UK?

5:55 pm

Soodle

Molly - their Dad was a UK citizen. Therefore, they can claim UK citizenship (over my cold & lifeless body.... Lol).

5:55 pm

lilliann

Just those from Europe and then they can go home and still get their benefit from from UK

5:57 pm

cybernan

by benefits, do you mean company pensions or government pensions and medical as well?

5:57 pm

MollyL

Thanks for explaining Soodle. I am not up on the details of the governments of other countries. I have a hard enough time keeping up with what is going on in my own country.

5:57 pm

lilliann

The brexits want to be like Australia.as in want people that need for jobs and have money to come into the country

5:58 pm

cybernan

in an ideal world, lilliann ;)

6:00 pm

cybernan

sometimes it's hard to know when it is time to close the helping hand

6:01 pm

tabbycat

Lil, did I hear correctly that people coming into the UK from other EU countries, such as Poland, have to live and work there a number of years before they're eligible for full benefits? I was listening to a discussion about it but didn't hear the whole thing.

6:01 pm

lilliann

No, they haven't payed into our system.It's basically benefits for people who don't have alot of money so they can claim all sorts of different ones and then they go home and build houses and get richer.there have been programmes showing this.

6:02 pm

lilliann

That was to Nan by the way.

6:07 pm

cybernan

We take in a lot of refugees on a per capita basis and they are entitled to our medicare benefits as soon as they are approved a landed immigrants - drain on the system to be sure, but most of those immigrants wind up contributing a lot to our economy in the long run. Most are very industrious and anxious to get settled and make a new home for themselves, and wind up paying back more than the initial resourses invested in them.

6:08 pm

cybernan

Like everywhere else, the media only reports the rotten apples.

6:08 pm

tabbycat

True Nan

6:09 pm

MollyL

It's not like this is some new issue. People from countries with poor economies and bad job markets have been moving to more prosperous countries to take advantage for centuries.

6:10 pm

cybernan

Time for me to get the roast prepared for the oven. Its been a cool damp day, so a good time for a hot heavier meal.
