1:05 am
grannyrose
we had such a long day yesterday. st5ed with the community lunch th4 rolled over into the film night. we we4 out by 9:15am and home again 11pm. i slept until 9:30 this morning.
1:06 am
grannyrose

1:07 am
flosey

nice flosey. any particular group of people aimjed for?
1:14 am
grannyrose
oh my!! lord, give me patience, but i want it right now... just went into kitchen and there is a sinkful of dirty dishes waiting th5. ah well. a few more minutes he4 and i will go and clean the kitchen up. *sigh*
1:15 am
grannyrose
i am so tired of being the only adult in thiks house... grrrf
1:15 am
flosey
I don't know Rose, it was the University Women's group - I would guess possibly those needing funding?
1:22 am
grannyrose
from the sounds of it, flosey, it must be those aspiring to an university education but cannot afford the full fees.
1:23 am
flosey
that's what I would presume, Rose
1:23 am
grannyrose
how lovely. people here are too cynical for such efforts.
1:24 am
grannyrose
our government has put tertiary education fees out of the reach of ordinary australian families, but help overseas students with HUGE grants. so unfair!!
1:25 am
flosey
wow, great to help others - ONCE things are attended to at home!!!
1:27 am
grannyrose
which is why you may hear/read of australian uni students protesting.
1:29 am
flosey
you'd think any country would want to see their young people educated
1:33 am
grannyrose
you have forgotten the almighty dollar!!
1:34 am
flosey
but the more they earn, the more they pay in taxes
1:35 am
grannyrose
i'm afraid the government cannot see into the future and see our next work force. all they see are the dollars poured in by overseas people.
1:36 am
flosey
money talks!!!
2:19 am
sprite
good morning all
2:20 am
sprite
*hugs flosey* I hope you had a lovely day
2:21 am
flosey
yes I did Sprite, played bridge all afternoon
2:21 am
flosey
and did you have a good night's sleep?
2:21 am
sprite
awesome! You must have such a great memory.
2:22 am
flosey
the failing part of my memory is showing now in bridge!!
2:23 am
sprite
slept okayish. Have the flu, so not feeling too great.
2:23 am
sprite
lol... I think bridge is a great way to keep exercising that brain.
2:23 am
flosey
ah, that's nasty, hope you get over that soon
2:24 am
sprite
rose, get back here. No running away when I come in, ya hear?
2:25 am
sprite
sorry about that
2:26 am
grannyrose
{{hugs}} and good morning my darling sprite. how was your yesterday and last night?
2:27 am
grannyrose
nasty flu... give it back to Rob right now, you hear?
2:28 am
sprite
*hugs rose* Missed seeing you yesterday. I am rotten. Got Rob's flu. But my nail appointment went terrific. I even got a tip from her, lol. And she paid for her daughter, who she is gifting with a nail session... and her other daughter is going to come too.
2:28 am
grannyrose
oh wow!! it looks like you are off and running. xoxox
2:28 am
sprite
poor Rob, lol. He has had enough, I am sure. I was grateful he felt up to walking terra, shopping for groceries and cooking. All I could manage was eating a bit of soup.
2:29 am
grannyrose
i missed you too, honey.
2:29 am
sprite
yeah :) All positive vibes welcome to make this grow and grow.
2:29 am
sprite
so... how are you, my bestie rose? How was your day yesterday and are you still feeling well?
2:30 am
grannyrose
community lunch was a bit of a bummer, and so was the film night.. you can't win them all i guess.
2:31 am
grannyrose
i am feeling well. yesterday was very busy. out at 9:30am and not home until 11pm. slept until 9:30am this morning.
2:32 am
sprite
am sorry lunch and film night were disappointing. I guess it is true, cannot win them all. Still, if you put effort into something, it is nice if it is rewarding.
2:33 am
sprite
great to hear you are good! Woot, such a busy day and still doing well, it is so lovely and I am so happy for you. Good job on sleeping in :)
2:33 am
grannyrose
honey, just knowing we made the effort is enough.
2:34 am
sprite
luvya. That is definitely the spirit.
2:37 am
sprite
looks like a total waste of a perfectly good X
2:38 am
grannyrose
sprite we have had the loveliest of spring days he4. i did another two loads of wash and don hung it out in the sunshine and breeze. it is now 6:30pm and we still have front and back doors, and windows wide open.
2:39 am
sprite
oh that sounds great. Wish I could share it with you. We have landed in autumn here with a big plunge. Lots and lots of rain, cold wind, grey skies. Miserable weather.
2:40 am
grannyrose
i have also folded and sorted another 4 loads of clean washing, and done 75% of the dirty dishes.
2:41 am
sprite
you are really cruising, darling. Can't tell you how happy I am for you. I know how great it feels when you can do what you want without extreme pain during or after.
2:41 am
grannyrose
and don has been through a drawerful of cables etc, sorting and throwing away. we have been seriously bitten by a case of spring cleaning.... loll
2:42 am
sprite
that is wonderful too. Throwing out the old and making room for the new is important. If you do it in your home, you do it in your mind and energy too.
2:43 am
grannyrose
i heah you sistah... xoxox
2:50 am
grannyrose
how are you doing with the grid?
2:50 am
sprite
115 words in, 6 x 7 and even one 8. So not too bad.
2:51 am
grannyrose
yayayay sprite. well done
2:51 am
sprite
:) Not bad for a snot head
2:52 am
grannyrose
*mind pics are not good*
2:53 am
sprite
picture me with watery eyes, lots of tissues, orange juice at the ready and a brain that refuses to work. Fever too. Better mind pic?
2:53 am
sprite
if I will try sonnet one more time, I will have to kick myself
2:54 am
grannyrose
nope... no aspirin an honey in hot water with the lemon juice not seen.
2:55 am
grannyrose
no you wont dear heart... i will kick you myself... loll
2:55 am
sprite
oh I take those too. And with a nice dollop of whiskey in the eveing.
2:55 am
sprite
lolllll ah, better. You are such a good friend, that you are willing to do that for me.
2:56 am
grannyrose
don found the aspirin were the best of the pain-killers/anti-fever drugs.
2:57 am
grannyrose
more than willing... rofloll
2:57 am
sprite
yeah, I think I agree. I have paracetamol with vit. C sachets, I take them with hot water, honey, fresh lemon and before bed with whiskey.
2:58 am
sprite
I hate the taste though. Especially with the whiskey. Not my thing, hard liquor.
2:58 am
grannyrose
so... get rob to pick up some fresh lemons, ripe. for goodness sake , add the honey, honey.
2:59 am
sprite
yes I do! But still.
2:59 am
grannyrose
i put about 50ml of honey into don's drinks.
3:00 am
sprite
will put in a little more next time, I promise :)
3:00 am
grannyrose
when you are suffering, diet considerations go out the window.
3:01 am
sprite
very tr4. I am drinking orange juice by the liter. Usually an absolute no-go, but idgaf atm.
3:02 am
grannyrose
nope, orange juice doesn't do it. vit c tabs do. drink the fresh lemon juice sweetie.
3:03 am
sprite
I do that too. I take the orange juice just because it is so good for my throat. But will take more lemon :)
3:04 am
grannyrose
better that you sould sip on a spoonful of honey for your throat, sweetie.
3:05 am
sprite
ok darling, I will
3:10 am
grannyrose
are you running a temperature?
3:11 am
sprite
yes, rather feverish
3:11 am
grannyrose
okay... so the aspirin should help with that too
3:12 am
TheByzantine
Is temperature an enthusiastic runner?
3:12 am
sprite
yes. It will just take time. As my love always says, with medication and doctors help it will be over in a week, and without it will take 7 days.
3:12 am
grannyrose
*giggle* theB.... unfortunately... yes
3:13 am
sprite
lol Byz. Yes, very enthusiastic. It is a hottie.
3:16 am

first column greyed:)
1:08 pm
ch1212
I'm not a fan of either candidate, but I do like to fact check, and was curious about why Hillary is so strongly disliked. Several polls and studies boil it down to 4 things: 1) the email thing, which more than 1 investigation by Republicans concluded nothing criminal, just stupid. 2) The Benghazi issue, which she took responsibility for. 3) She's a woman. 4) Trump's repeated (and repeated) called her 'crooked Hillary' and his efforts to make her misdeeds look worse than his own. Those were the main reasons. Very few (including Trump supporters) doubt her credentials or ability to be President.
That said, I still wish we had a different choice for both parties.

Oh my. I am a woman, so I would be determined to use my vote in the forthcoming electiom. Personally, I would welcome a third option.....neither Trump nor Clinton inspire confidence in me.
4:53 pm
hurshy
i don't think the four suggested reasons below for why people don't like Hillary can be it, because other than being a woman, they are all too recent. people have disliked her for far longer than that. i think it's that people have a sense that she's very "politician-y". like, i mean, with Barack and Michelle Obama, you feel like, what you see is pretty much what you get. you feel like they speak from their hearts and you get they way they think and you feel like they are not hiding their true selves. which is the opposite of "politician-y". of course, trump also is hiding nothing, but what he has to reveal is so horrifying that in his case, it's not an advantage.
4:54 pm
hurshy
bernie sanders is also non-politician-y, which is why he was far more popular with non-establishment liberals than with, say, superdelegates.

I think it must have been difficult for him growing up there. He's smart, not athletic, reads and is gay. His father more or less disowned him (but his step-father is very accepting). He is changing his last name to his step-father's.
