12:32 am

rururocks

nice here today.. but we've been having hot weather.

12:34 am

stidmama

glad it was pleasant today -- too many warm days in a row and I find I am pretty useless. More so, even, than normal! ;-)

12:35 am

rururocks

in the 80's here today.. very mild

12:37 am

stidmama

{{hugs}} my darling sprite

1:18 am

sprite

hello sweetie :D Glad to see you. My girl has gone. In tears. Ugh.

1:19 am

grannyrose

oh no, you poor love. here snuggle up to grannyrose and here's a tissue... in fact take the whole box.

1:20 am

sprite

Caya was in tears. I was strong. Mostly. And now I don't know what to do with myself, lol.

1:20 am

sprite

*cuddles up to rose*

1:21 am

grannyrose

it's a big change for both of you. and rob as well.

1:21 am

sprite

yeah, but Rob is with her now, helping her move. His moment of truth will be tomorrow evening when he leaves her there.

1:22 am

grannyrose

oh boy that has to smart. poor man. i hope he will be okay driving.

1:22 am

sprite

yeah he will be. We are strrrrrrrong parents. We can do this.

1:23 am

grannyrose

*soft chuckle*<---- pulling a wry face.

1:23 am

sprite

*grin* Fake it till you make it, right?

1:24 am

grannyrose

i saw your email. i can't wait for the next chapter.

1:24 am

sprite

so... how are you, my darling?

1:25 am

sprite

oh! Glad to hear it! Will work on it every day I can

1:25 am

grannyrose

not too bad sweetheart. i am more concerned for you. this has to bring on those ghastly nightmares again.i have been sitting with feet up for better part of the day.

1:25 am

grannyrose

my left ankle actually fits into my other shoes again.

1:25 am

sprite

oh, sweetie, one thing... could you please do your editing in another colour or underlined? It is a little hard to find your valuable contributions this way. And please, be as pedantic as you can be :D

1:26 am

sprite

I am so proud of you. You are taking good care of yourself. I know that is tough. Glad the pain isn't too devastating atm.

1:26 am

grannyrose

np's sprite. this is my first time as an editor.. do you want me to send them again, marked appropriately?

1:27 am

sprite

oh if you could? Yes please!

1:27 am

grannyrose

np's. will do it later, after you have gone. xoxox

1:28 am

sprite

all good, no hurry :)

1:29 am

grannyrose

i seem to have a triangle of pain when standing and/or walking. between both hips and my lower back. i really must get my act together and have the MRI for the orthopod.

1:29 am

sprite

after babble, I am gonna do some moving of boxes etc to Caya's old room. I am gonna sleep there. It will be lovely to have a bed on the floor, in stead of one I have to climb in with a ladder.

1:29 am

sprite

oh! Yes you do. That is a rotten triangle.

1:30 am

grannyrose

oh good lord, you have had to climb a ladder to go to bed? how awkward.

1:30 am

sprite

yes, my bed is actually hanging from the ceiling. Quite the space saver, but with my body it has been kinda hellish to get in and out of bed.

1:31 am

grannyrose

when she comes home on the weekend will she be okay with using your old bed?

1:31 am

sprite

nah when she comes home, I will move to my old bed and let her have her own.

1:31 am

flosey

fw and off to bed, has been a busy weekend, goodnight all

1:31 am

sprite

wouldn't want her to feel her place here has been taken

1:32 am

sprite

night night flosey

1:33 am

grannyrose

maybe for the first few times sprite. but Caya also has to learn mum and dad are moving on. it would be good for her to realise what you have sacrificed for her. and don't hide behind but, but, but.

1:33 am

grannyrose

sweet dreams dear flosey

1:34 am

sprite

maybe. We will see. For now, it will be a huge difference to use her bed on week nights. She will be home every weekend for the next 6 weeks because her work is still here until that time.

1:34 am

sprite

inlaw is bugging me. Needs a dash, I take it?

1:36 am

grannyrose

roflol. just went out for a drink, gave don a quick hug on the way past to which he responded help i'm being molested again in a tiny voice.

1:37 am

grannyrose

when i laughed he added... please?

1:37 am

sprite

lolollll lovely man

1:38 am

grannyrose

yup sprite apparently it does. never mind the hundreds of words enable says don't need an hyphen, and i jolly well know they do need one.

1:38 am

sprite

enable is arbitrary as can be. Gotta love it though.

1:39 am

grannyrose

well i have learned a lot of new words in other languages. so it can be very educational.

1:40 am

sprite

true. Makes me feel so eclectic, to know all those crazy words

1:40 am

grannyrose

strange... no dutch words... or icelandic...lolll

1:41 am

grannyrose

not sure how enable would translate a grunt

1:41 am

sprite

oh there are a few dutch words in there too. Like 'kaas' = dutch for cheese

1:41 am

sprite

and 'haar' = dutch for hair

1:41 am

grannyrose

oh so there are...

1:42 am

sprite

of course, words like 'apartheid' and 'kraal' are dutch too, but made it into the english language through south africa

1:42 am

grannyrose

so is the double a pronounced like ar as in hard?

1:44 am

sprite

no it isn't. It is a longer sound. You don't have the equivalent in english. If you say BAAAAAA and open your mouth as wide as you can, you are making the right sound

1:44 am

grannyrose

so more breathy?

1:45 am

sprite

hm yeah I think so, and with more power behind it

1:48 am

grannyrose

i can see himself and i will be on a very strong learning curve when we visit.

1:48 am

sprite

it will be such fun

1:57 am

grannyrose

we finally received all our held mail today. form in it which was supposed to be returned by the 30th July... like that is gonna happen.

1:57 am

sprite

ugh no. Darn administration. The energy it consumes... yuck.

1:58 am

grannyrose

they weren't to know we weren't home. ah well, will take my time, get it right and call into the office in person

1:59 am

sprite

it will work out

2:00 am

grannyrose

did i ever tell you how much i hate filling out forms??

2:00 am

sprite

you may have mentioned it once or twice *cough*

2:01 am

grannyrose

lollll... love ya

2:02 am

sprite

*grins* I know how it is... it drives me batty too. My brain resolutely shuts down and refuses to come up with the answers

2:02 am

grannyrose

you and i are going to be like liz and i...endlessly talking and laughing together

2:03 am

sprite

oh yes. we won't start yapping until after the plane has lifted off again

2:03 am

grannyrose

ikr?? i was trying to do a sudoku the other day... brain shut down. don was amazed when i threw it to the other side of the room.

2:04 am

sprite

I totally understand. They have no idea how frustrating it is when your normally sharp mind goes AWOL

2:07 am

grannyrose

it drives me nuts. on e minute i am totally absorbed in what is happening, the next... glazed eyes and non comprehendi

2:08 am

sprite

I hear ya. Bugs me no end.

2:08 am

grannyrose

our poor spouses... we do try them to the most ut!

2:09 am

sprite

to the very most ut

2:09 am

grannyrose

lolll you understood what i was saying... gosh... you are so amazing.

2:09 am

sprite

*grins*

2:10 am

grannyrose

mind you...if you have never watched the Jetsons you haven't lived.

2:10 am

sprite

amen!

2:10 am

grannyrose

roflolllll

2:13 am

sprite

flippin' pa8 had no singular... how is a simple dutch girl to know?

2:13 am

grannyrose

and a simple aussie girl...

2:14 am

sprite

she neither

2:14 am

grannyrose

hmmmm...

2:14 am

grannyrose

especially as there is no definition !!

2:16 am

grannyrose

ahhh, a different spelling of wise as in sidewise

2:16 am

sprite

it means "vertically -- in a vertical direction; "a gallery quite often is added to make use of space vertically as well as horizontally""

2:17 am

grannyrose

really ???? how interesting...

2:17 am

sprite

english is a fascinating language

2:19 am

grannyrose

yes it is. my darling grandfather opened my eyes. he was an amazing teacher.

2:19 am

sprite

fireflies

2:19 am

grannyrose

he died just as i was able to quote the english poets.

2:20 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE !!!!

2:20 am

sprite

what a shame... you'd have loved to have him around for longer, I bet

2:21 am

grannyrose

sprite, the darling man went swimming in port phillip bay when he was 88 years old.

2:21 am

sprite

amazing. Love him already :)

2:22 am

grannyrose

i knew you would love him.

2:22 am

sprite

sweetie, I am gonna do some physical lifting etc to get my mind off Caya's leaving. *hugs* and lots of love. I hope you will sleep well tonight.

2:23 am

grannyrose

7:37 am

Riverdance

7:37 am

HarryHood

ty rd :) nbt

7:37 am

HarryHood

it's also a common word for me to miss

7:38 am

Riverdance

I still don't have a 7.

7:38 am

HarryHood

I have no 7s or 8s :)

7:38 am

HarryHood

just got here

7:38 am

LuvWordGames

pa 8/75

7:39 am

Riverdance

I have that one but don't know what the other 8 is yet.

7:39 am

HarryHood

is that one a "normal" word?

7:40 am

Riverdance

not that I have heard but it is a compound if that helps

7:40 am

HarryHood

got it!

7:40 am

Riverdance

and a plural but no singular

7:40 am

HarryHood

and no singualr!

7:40 am

HarryHood

and no definition!

7:42 am

movieman

clue for the in7 plz

7:42 am

Riverdance

inlaw should be accepted as a word....ugh

7:42 am

Riverdance

I don't have any 7's yet but will look

7:44 am

Uneaixoise

pa8 . . . googled meaning of pa4: heraldry term: a band running vertically down the center of a shield

7:44 am

Trifioso

hello friends! River, you and I have something VERY wonderful in common now!!!

7:45 am

Uneaixoise

so pa8 must mean "in the direction of" the pa4

7:45 am

Uneaixoise

hey trif :-)

7:45 am

Riverdance

do tell Trif....do you have a art school graduate by any chance?

7:45 am

Trifioso

no - I met soodle!

7:45 am

Trifioso

and, yes, I DO have an art school grad, so I guess that is two things!

7:45 am

HarryHood

ty une. those heraldry folks have a word for everything.

7:45 am

Riverdance

oh that is right.....I saw the picture. That is wonderful. She is the best!

7:45 am

Trifioso

hi une

7:45 am

Uneaixoise

:-)

7:46 am

Trifioso

she is AMAZING. I was tickled pink

7:46 am

Riverdance

We talked for hours as if we had known each other for years.

7:47 am

Trifioso

we only had the pleasure of one hour (she was at work, and graciously took a long lunch). I can imagine a looooong night chatting if we get another chance

7:47 am

HarryHood

having an 8 ad no 7 is making me very uncomfortable. It feels like an unstable configuration of my screen.

7:47 am

Trifioso

she charmed the absolute hearts of my children in an instant, as she hugged each one with great warmth and exclaimed "Hello! I'm you auntie mary!"

7:47 am

Trifioso

they BEAMED

7:48 am

Riverdance

I was very luck she came to Galway while I was there and met me at my hotel. We enjoyed a couple drinks at the bar and then took a cab to a very nice restaurant. So yes I was lucky to have several hours with her.

7:48 am

HarryHood

got a 7!

7:49 am

Trifioso

she is the first babbler I have met, other than those I am related to, of course

7:49 am

Riverdance

she is a very warm and loving person

7:50 am

Riverdance

my first babbler too and last year I had the pleasure of meeting carleekat

7:50 am

Trifioso

my youngest daughter was convinced I was nuts for meeting a "stranger" from the internet, and was sure we were all going to end up in her freezer. BOY was she wrong! But apparently soodle's kids said much the same!

7:51 am

movieman

does anyone have the in7?

7:51 am

Riverdance

my daughter thought it was normal because she has been doing it for years meeting her flicker friends.

7:52 am

HarryHood

have a nice day all

7:52 am

Riverdance

still don't movieman

7:52 am

Trifioso

my kids apparently don't think anything I do is "normal" - nothing like a week's vacation to underscore THAT

7:52 am

Riverdance

they are very lucky you took them along

7:53 am

Trifioso

to be fair, they did pay their own way....I had to do ALL the driving, being the only one old enough to actually drive a rental car. 1255 km in six days!

7:53 am

Trifioso

oh poop - PB for me

7:54 am

Riverdance

and its not easy to drive there.

7:54 am

Trifioso

I actually found it fairly easy, once I got used to the left side factor

7:54 am

Trifioso

the GPS was a lifesaver, that is for sure

7:55 am

Riverdance

left side is weird especially when you enter those roadabouts

7:55 am

Riverdance

I was thankful I didn't have to drive. I was on a bus tour and that was scary enough in some areas

7:55 am

Trifioso

having a giant hedge an inch away from the car most roads was the biggest hassle. might have found a few (!!!) stray leaves in the mirror now and then....

7:56 am

crosshair

Good morning, everyone :)

7:56 am

Riverdance

good morning crossy

7:56 am

Trifioso

good morning crossy dear!

7:56 am

Riverdance

I have to get to work now - have a great day everyone

7:57 am

Trifioso

take care river

8:01 am

fo5 means a ditch or trench...but i also think of bob...

10:32 am

ch1212

Good point, cy! I usually think of a 'church' as a place of worship for any religion, but you are right -- it's defined as primarily Christian worship. I need to rethink my use of the word. :)

10:56 am

cybernan

just read your profile ch1212 - do you live anywhere near stidmama or stidmere?

10:57 am

ch1212

I do! In the greater Seattle area. We haven't met up in person yet.

10:59 am

cybernan

hubby and I met with both of them, husbands and stidkids 6 years ago when we were on our way to China for a cruise. We also have friends on Whidbey that we met on that cruise -- small world!

10:59 am

cybernan

I haven't been a stranger to Bellisfair either!

11:00 am

ch1212

Indeed! Speaking of cruises, I took my first one a few months ago. Beloved and I sailed to Alaska.

11:01 am

cybernan

not one we have done yet, but plan to one of these summers. Did you take one of the small cruise ships, or the 2000 passenger + ones?

11:02 am

ch1212

We sailed Norweigian, which is considered mid-size, I believe. Not too much walking, lovely ship, excellent service. I didn't know what to expect, and now I'm sold on vacation cruises.

11:02 am

mari

we

11:06 am

cybernan

we did an Adriatic cruise with Norwegian last fall -- loved the on shore excursions, but didn't like Norwegian -- felt like we were being nickle and dimed to death with all the extra charges for everything. We have always done all inclusive cruises with Viking before and would do that again. Also, we love PBS and because Viking spends their advertising dollars there, I would choose them over any equivalent cruise line

11:06 am

ch1212

Whidbey is a ferry ride away, and we take off for the day to browse the shops and enjoy the views. This past weekend there was a 3 hour wait for the ferry at one point, so we stayed on this side of the Sound.

11:07 am

cybernan

when we visited our friends there, we went over by ferry but came back on the bridge and headed north to Vancouver

11:08 am

ch1212

Mmm... I haven't heard of Viking before, but will definitely look into them. Because it was my first-ever cruise, we saved up to have a lovely penthouse suite, and everything was included for us, with priority boarding and all that. I told my husband, "This was probably a mistake on your part because now I won't want to go for less than first class!" lol!

11:09 am

hurshy

i've seen Viking's ads on PBS!

11:12 am

cybernan

I can identify with that -- we save up for business class flights if we are going to europe -- 9 hours is just too long not to have a flat bed, lots of rooms and decent meals. With viking, any of the veranda cabins are good --- you really don't spend that much time in your cabin anyway, other than to sleep! Viking does both river and ocean cruises now, so we may do another one yet.

11:14 am

ch1212

Yes, we went to Italy for 3 weeks several years ago and flew economy. NEVER AGAIN!

11:19 am
