{{hugs}} and good morning sweet sprite. have just arrived home. have been travelling since 10am and it is now just after 6pm. three stops along the way, the biggest for lunch. how are you dearest?
3:09 am
sprite
hello my dear friend, a good evening to you and welcome home. How are you feeling? Lots of pain?
3:09 am
grannyrose
just bone weary. pain still settled apart from the nerve pain.
3:09 am
sprite
I am fine, sweetie. A few more days before Caya leaves home... preparations in full swing, living room is a depot for boxes and crates.
3:10 am
sprite
I hope you will give yourself time to recover from the very taxing outing. Just dolce far niente, and thinking back to all the great memories you made.

3:12 am
grannyrose
i feel for you love. your emotions must be in such turmoil. xoxox
3:13 am
sprite
it is not too bad, sweetie. I can see she is ready. which means Rob and I did a good job with her, right? Letting go is part of the deal. It is ok.
3:13 am
sprite
it also helps that she is looking forward to it so much. A great energy going here, preparing and all.

doseffing
... just checked a number of cheeses and the only one it seems to accept is cheddar ... my guess is because they called it a type of cheese rather than a cheese from a particular place

Oh my how sad. Thank you for letting us know, Sue!
1:38 pm

I can't think of when I last saw her here... you sue?
1:39 pm
uusue2
I've only been on sporadically since my husband passed away in February, and haven't seen her here in quite a while
1:40 pm
uusue2
She and I chatted quite a bit when she first joined Babble; she was exactly two weeks older than I, and I felt quite a kinship with her.
1:41 pm
kje
so sorry, sue. I haven't seen her in quite a bit. Maybe she was ill and we just didn't know
1:41 pm
uusue2
I kept it anonymous (from her), but I was the one who upgraded her to pro (she was very short of funds).
1:41 pm
kje
maybe you can pass on condolences to her daughter from the babble community
1:42 pm
kje
that was very kind of you, and I'm sure it meant a lot to her
1:43 pm
uusue2
Yes, I will contact her daughter with our condolences
1:44 pm

R.I.P "Mimicat" :(
3:49 pm

We used to have such grand conversations on how she would soon get herself a small cabin in the mountains so she could get away from the heat she hated so much :(
3:54 pm
ch1212
Sometimes I wonder if our deceased babbler's families are aware of how close a circle we are. In Mimi's case, I know Sue is contact Mimi's daughter with our condolences. But others who have passed over the years, I wonder. Then I think, I hope we babblers have let a family member know to sign on and let our online community know. Crossy, I would hate to never know if you just suddently disappeared one day.
3:54 pm
crosshair
Once, we spent a good half hour mentally drawing up floor plans for her new place, and she would send me pictures of likely prospects so i could toss my two cent worth in on it.
3:55 pm
crosshair
we have lost several fine babblers in the time i have been on :(
3:55 pm
crosshair
My beloved already knows and is a member of babbler herself
3:56 pm
ch1212
Glad to hear. I've let my beloved know too. Mimicat is already missed.
3:56 pm
crosshair
I promise to do my best not to just vanish. I value the friendship of too many Babblers on here.
3:57 pm

Thank you, crossy. When that sad day comes, we will all hoist a piece of bacon in your honor.

As far as i know she is still on now and again

Thank you. She is one of our 'oldest' babblers, and certainly wisest!

I am a "newbie' relatively speaking, but I just noticed that my 8th "babbleversary" has come and gone :)
4:04 pm
jesdraggon
how do you tell how long you've been here?
4:04 pm
jesdraggon
or do you just remember when you started?
4:04 pm
crosshair
We seem to get maybe two or three new players per year maximum, so unfortunately, as time goes by, Babble will decline as our group ages. babble is already 'legacy-ware" and will fade away over time :(
4:04 pm
ch1212
Not so new, crossy. I've been here since 2005, and if I remember, the game debuted in 2003 (but don't quote me on that last.)
Jesdraggon, click on your icon picture and look at the top right corner.
4:05 pm

Your start date is in your profile
4:05 pm

You started in 2007, jes
4:05 pm

about a year before i did ;)
4:06 pm

how is it that i started before you, crossy? I thought you were here before me
4:06 pm
crosshair
Nope, june 23rd, 2008 for me ;)
4:08 pm
jesdraggon
weird. also, a demonstration of the fallibility of memory, because I'd have said I remembered you as one of the group that was nice to me when I started.

4:31 pm

yea i still collect stamps. Nothing out of the ordinary really. GB, penny red plate numbers, regionals and machins. Am going to start collecting US stamps again soon. Used to collect them but (long story) lost my US collection so shall be starting to collect them again soon
4:32 pm
Glantarell
It's just that I have a stamp collection dating back to the late 70s, not added to since then. I'd like to give them to someone who cares. They are mostly British, US, Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.
4:33 pm
Glantarell
I'd hate to just give them to a charity shop, and can't really be bothered with the hassle of trying to sell them.
4:34 pm

i just love looking through bags of stamps i find and sorting through them. Gives me hours and weeks of fun!

4:36 pm

well, my email is digondda@gmail.com. If you would like to send me your address, I will take the stamps out of the albums and post them to you. If you want the albums too - they are the heavy cardboard opages with clear plastic strips to hold the stamps in - you would be welcome to them if you pay the postage.

Fine thanks - it's been a great couple of weeks - GrannyRose up here for a holiday and then she left and we went out whale watching on Tuesday and saw Migaloo, the only albino humpback whale.
7:03 pm
lilliann
I hope Granny Rose and you had a great time.I'm sure you did. Albino humpback...Wow!
7:04 pm

It was good but the whale (named Migaloo) was awesome. We also saw him in 2009.
7:04 pm

We say whales in Mexico and apparently we saw the first baby of the season.It was great!
7:04 pm
lilliann
It's good that he's still going then.
7:05 pm

It's fabulous seeing them. We're so lucky. We have a season ticket and go out pretty much every week. We've also seen a couple of calves this year.

7:07 pm

I saw a whale in Bermuda in the 90's and there was a chinese whale ship after it, but as soon as it came into the harbour, they couldn't chase it but as soon as it went back out to see they were after it...I hope they didn't get it!
