Hi and hugs, Sprite

1:27 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* I hope you and your beloved are well?

1:29 am

Lizlin

Yes thanks - got stuck in Melbourne last week because of the cyclone. Better to be stuck there than on an unsafe flight but could've done without it. Too much to do getting ready for Passover.

1:29 am

Lizlin

How's life been treating you?

1:30 am

sprite

:( I am really glad you are safe, but not a pleasant experience for you

1:31 am

Lizlin

For us it was just a nuisance - stressful because we'd left all the windows open (obviously they've got security screens). There's been a huge amount of flooding close to here.

1:31 am

sprite

all good here, just a little too busy. I need a couple of days without appointments.

1:31 am

Lizlin

Is that within your control?

1:31 am

sprite

hasn't been, but next week should be much more manageable.

1:32 am

Lizlin

Good. Look forward to next week - this one's almost over :)

1:33 am

sprite

:) don't want to complain, life is good to us and we feel blessed. Just a little overrun.

1:33 am

Lizlin

Meant to say - I'm reading the last of the Chosen series (Denise Grover Swank). It took time to get going but once it did, I've really enjoyed it. More so than the Rose Gardner ones.

1:34 am

Lizlin

They were cute but a bit predictable.

Lizlin

It was strange - could work out most words but a couple were tricky.

1:36 am

Lizlin

Time to go - take it easy if possible and look after yourself. Hugs.

Hello, Love!!

Trifioso

I am a ZOMBIE today!

7:02 am

car.eeyore

I'm a zombie every day

7:02 am

car.eeyore

Did you have fun?

7:02 am

Trifioso

lol....That 5:45 wake up was a shocker.

7:02 am

Trifioso

We did indeed, until about the seventh inning, when the cold really sank in.

7:02 am

car.eeyore

I get up at 2 now...when Lucy starts barking to go out :(

7:03 am

car.eeyore

I'm sure. It was a raw night for baseball

7:03 am

Trifioso

ugh!

7:04 am

car.eeyore

Actually, this morning it was 5, so that was nice.

7:05 am

Trifioso

valentine said, during the game "Yeah, I think I will work from home tomorrow." So I said "Yeah, I think I will too. I'm bringing 60 kids over to take the MCAS in the living room, so keep it down."

7:05 am

car.eeyore

Are you in the bathroom again today?

7:05 am

Trifioso

no. six classes of students, covering for proctoring teachers. the new guy WILL NOT let me proctor. Which is okay, I guess.

7:06 am

car.eeyore

LMAO! Good one

7:09 am

Trifioso

really, those tickets were a gift from the universe. there is NO WAY we could ever afford seats like those, so to have them handed over was beyond amazing. There were a million reasons to bow out, stay home, "be adults" and get things done. But screw it. We threw it together, headed to town, threw caution and reason to the wind, and it was terrific.

7:09 am

car.eeyore

Wonderful...you needed a fun night out!

7:10 am

Trifioso

who doesn't?

7:10 am

car.eeyore

Dang it...now I have "Nothing like a DA**" stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

7:10 am

Trifioso

oh hey there enable? Trust me on this one - "meds" is a word!!!!

7:10 am

Trifioso

there is nothing I can name, that is anything like a da4

7:13 am

car.eeyore

Hah! Vlad is in the grid today!

evanonut

7:44 am

72 Temple Owl

no, i've decided not to spin.

7:44 am

evanonut

why not?

7:45 am

72 Temple Owl

it took 2 weeks to feel better, and still smarts a bit

7:45 am

72 Temple Owl

because i can get what i need via other means.

7:46 am

evanonut

i had to give it up and switch to recumbant bike, something about spin bike did bad things to my bad neck

7:46 am

72 Temple Owl

hmmm

7:48 am

72 Temple Owl

i did not realize you had neck issues. today will be a light day for me, haircut day. and i am taking a guest to the gym today.

7:49 am

evanonut

i didn't realize i had a neck issue either, i thought i had arthritis in my hands, that random stabbing pains were normal things everyone had and that when it hurt i must have just slept on it funny.

7:51 am

72 Temple Owl

ah yes, at one point i could not hold my arms up without getting tired. neck issue.

7:51 am

72 Temple Owl

pinched nerve?

7:52 am

72 Temple Owl

disc?

7:53 am

evanonut

degenerative discs

7:53 am

72 Temple Owl

that sucks.

7:53 am

72 Temple Owl

you are young, they will come up with a fix hopefully by the time you need it.

7:54 am

evanonut

true, but complaining never got me anywhere. doing my exercises does.

7:58 am

72 Temple Owl

time to get ready. have a good day.

Yeah. Kind of the same here. Not too cold. About 48 deg.

8:42 am

yesterday was glorious so i ran out with sandels on. my legs are cold and i am going to change.

8:43 am

Judi

Bi-polar weather. You get points for optimism, tho.

8:44 am

mkg

how far are you to the ocean?

8:45 am

Judi

Rehoboth beach is about 80 miles from us. However, I could spit and hit the Delaware River right now.

8:46 am

mkg

gee i didnt know you were 80 miles from rohoboth. i love that beach.

8:46 am

mkg

is the delaware river nice? i think of rivers as being horrible and dirty and rat infested.

8:46 am

mkg

but that is because in my youth they were so horribly polluted.

8:47 am

Judi

It is very nice. We never go in the summer, though. Traffic is hell and it gets too crowded. We usually hit it in early spring (before Easter) or after Labor Day.

Unfortunately, the Delaware River is pretty gross. They've done a lot of dredging in recent years. That has stirred up a lot of gunk and trash.

thank you so much that finally gives me fireworks!! :D

9:46 pm

dianedecoder

You're welcome....I have 19 to go and then must go watch hockey!

10:01 pm

Pinikula

good evening all

10:02 pm

dianedecoder

Pin!! So nice to see you :-)

10:02 pm

Pinikula

Hiya di!

10:02 pm

Pinikula

Thanks...it's been awhile...how are things around here?

10:03 pm

dianedecoder

......my very first acquaintance when I first joined Babble. I think you answered many of my questions about how the game worked....and that was all on the first evening!

10:04 pm

Pinikula

Well, I'm so glad it was enough to keep you coming back as a frequent flyer! :)

10:04 pm

Pinikula

I'm flattered you remember me in such a nice way! :)

10:04 pm

dianedecoder

I think things are fine here....I seldom have the chat open but I still enjoy playing the game!

10:06 pm

Pinikula

I think of the game (more so the friends I've met here) often, but have found it difficult to catch a break long enough to stop in ... so, I'm giving it the ol' college try this evening. :)

10:08 pm

dianedecoder

Well, I'm glad I was still here....only have 2 words remaining and then off to watch hockey.
Although I don't chat much on here, I do keep in touch with quite a few Babble friends on Facebook. I'm thankful for that because quite a few of them don't play any more. How is everything with your life? It sounds like you are busy...as usual ;-)

10:11 pm

Pinikula

Busy, as usual, is an understatement - but that's always another story. I've connected with a few people via FB, but an relatively quiet on that front, too (although slightly more frequented because I get to see what my kids and grands are up to). I could look for you there sometime - are you friends with Bugs or Stid? If so, I can probably find you...

10:17 pm

dianedecoder

I'm friends with Bugs, Jill Evans ( jillibus ) , Jill Deppel, Floesy, Soodle and a few others you would know.

10:18 pm

Pinikula

Absolutely...I'll look for you! I don't want to keep you, but am so pleased to have seen a familiar face during my visit.

10:21 pm

Pinikula

Found you ... will send a friend request!

10:21 pm

dianedecoder

I found you :-)

10:23 pm

Pinikula

Yeah!!! :)

10:23 pm

dianedecoder

do you remember a player named anniebrook? She passed away recently and I know that quite a few people were very saddened. I didn't know her well, but in the few times we exchanged conversation, she seemed to be a sweet person.

10:24 pm

Pinikula

I know the name and know she frequented the game, but I'm sad to say I didn't know here well. All the same, still sad to lose another player!

10:25 pm

Nef

Good Evening. Hi Pini & diane!

10:25 pm

Pinikula

Hiya Nef!

10:25 pm

dianedecoder

It always is.

10:25 pm

dianedecoder

Hi, Nef!

10:26 pm

Nef

How are you 2? I haven't seen either of you in a long time; I'm not always able to come on here & cahtLike I'd like either.

10:27 pm

Nef

(that was chat like I'd like to...)

10:27 pm

cookiebaker

ved

10:27 pm

Pinikula

I'm in the same boat, Nef...it was nice to log in and see a familiar! and now another!

10:27 pm

cookiebaker

weaves

10:27 pm

dianedecoder

I've finished my game but it's in between periods in the hockey game so will chat until it starts again.
I play just about every day, Nef but don't often have chat open.

10:28 pm

Pinikula

hi cookiebaker... (thanks for the "hint," but I already have that one!) :o)

10:28 pm

Nef

Which hockey game are you watching diane? & who are you rooting for?

10:29 pm

Pinikula

<-- hockey is above my head...

10:29 pm

dianedecoder

We live just east of Edmonton, Alberta, so of course cheering for the Oilers. Hubby says that are playing stupidly ....he's done a little light cursing at the TV....as if THAT will help! LOL

10:30 pm

Pinikula

ROFL

10:31 pm

dianedecoder

They are playing the San Jose Sharks tonight, and finally, after quite a few years, the Oilers have made a playoff spot!

10:31 pm

Nef

Thanks, cookie baker. I didn't have that one; but I started this grid last night by putting words in the wrong box too ("words" go in the Word box; chat belongs here. I usually quit when I get the 2 mixed up myself; once I start wrong, it's so frustrating.

10:32 pm

Pinikula

Not much of a sports-watcher, but did last weekend for the college playoffs. My uni made it to the Final Four (the first time since 1939), but lost going to the final game by ONE whole point!

10:32 pm

Pinikula

(well, 1 to tie, 2 to win)

10:32 pm

Nef

I'll cheer for the Oilers then too. (For some reason,I think San Jose having a hockey team just sounds wrong!)

10:33 pm

dianedecoder

The game is back on so will go cheer them on ( I've found encouragement works better that cursing!)
Have fun everyone...good to see you Pin and Nef!

10:33 pm

dianedecoder

p.s. California has three NHL teams and they do well!

10:33 pm

Pinikula

Ditto, Di! See you again !

10:33 pm

Nef

Bye, diane!

10:33 pm

dianedecoder

Las Vegas joins the league next year!

10:34 pm

dianedecoder

"See" you soon.....night night ~ ~ ~ ~

10:35 pm

Nef

Well, when our North Stars had the "North" removed from their jerseys; I thought that was bad enough; but then they moved to TX and I just don't think it's right that so many warm states have hockey teams \

10:36 pm

Nef

So, Pini, any more grand kids?

10:36 pm

Pinikula

I kind of agree, Nef...north should have cold, south should have hot!

10:36 pm

Nef

YES!!! :-D

10:36 pm

Pinikula

Well, I'm up to 3 now! The youngest will be 2 in May

10:37 pm

Nef

Awww. Apparently; I will only have 1. He's now 7 & the apple of my eye.

10:38 pm

Pinikula

One is good! I think these are all I'm getting...unless grandsons get a sister! :)

10:38 pm

Pinikula

My oldest granddau is going to be a world traveler...well, at least to Europe...she's going to be an exchange student in Denmark next school year. :)

10:39 pm

Nef

I've always wanted to try your "Shrinking Bear" directions, but I haven't seen or heard of anyone having babies since I read about that

10:40 pm

Nef

Oh, My! How old is she?

10:41 pm

Pinikula

Aw, shucks!!! You're so kind to have remembered it! Each of mine has their own (she with a teddybear; the boys with a black bear and moose, respectively). Oh, she's 16 now.

10:41 pm

Nef

they sure grow up fast, don't they?

10:42 pm

Pinikula

Yep, they grow faster than weeds!!!

10:43 pm

Pinikula

You know...you can still do it with your grandson! Just start taking a photo every 6 months or at least once a year on his birthday. You'll be surprised how he grows between now and then! (also, it makes a great "wedding" gift! - something they definitely wouldn't expect!)

10:45 pm

Pinikula

(the stuffed animal and the photo book proving how it shrunk!)

10:45 pm

Nef

:-)

10:46 pm

Nef

I wonder if I have photos of him with a specific stuffed animal over the years? I'll have to check...

10:46 pm

Pinikula

What a fun treasure hunt you have on your hands! :)

10:47 pm

Nef

And he's growing like a weed right now; he went to school with some pants that were way too short today!

10:47 pm

Pinikula

uh oh!

10:48 pm

Pinikula

I have faith you can do it and capture some fun photos! :)

10:48 pm

Nef

Hey, Pini, are you retired yet?

10:48 pm

Pinikula

Oh, gosh, no...but boy do I wish I was!!!

10:49 pm

Pinikula

I still have another 10 or so years to go before I can do that :-/

10:49 pm

rururocks

(<---less than ten years)

10:49 pm

Pinikula

hiya ru!

10:49 pm

Nef

I find it to be quite different than what I had planned it to be... it's Much harder than it looks.

10:50 pm

Nef

Hi ru!

10:50 pm

Pinikula

Really, Nef... so, I should take my time?

10:52 pm

Nef

When you're working, you always think that "once you retire you will have time for all those projects and travels you have planned.

10:53 pm

Pinikula

no such concept, eh?

10:53 pm

Nef

Most people (including myself) really over-commit to too many different things; & then end up not being able to travel for 1 or another reason.

10:54 pm

Pinikula

Oh, I would love to have the ability to travel, but don't think retirement income would allow me to do as much I'd like! :-/

10:54 pm

Nef

Take your time before retiring; and take time to figure out if your visions of retirement are really what you want to do

10:55 pm

Nef

YES! You hit that nail on the head!

10:55 pm

Pinikula

My main goal is NOT to be accountable to anyone but myself...

10:55 pm

Nef

(So do it before you retire!) ;-)

10:55 pm

rururocks

i'm going to volunteer at stuff to keep busy

10:56 pm

Pinikula

They don't pay me enuf to travel now and if I take time off I have that much more work to come back to.

10:56 pm

Nef

the thing is, ru; start doing some of that now so you know what & how you want to volunteer.

10:56 pm

Pinikula

I'm already volunteering away my evening and weekends (to 3 different entities)...OY!!!

10:57 pm

Nef

Oh, dear.

10:57 pm

Pinikula

<-- glutton for punishment I guess...

10:58 pm

Pinikula

I need to do more side work for my old boss - he at least pays me for the projects I do!

10:58 pm

rururocks

I know where I want to volunteer already

10:58 pm

Pinikula

where's that, ru?

11:00 pm

Nef

do tell, ru

11:01 pm

rururocks

i'm hoping to work at animal rescue and with abused kids

11:01 pm

rururocks

two issues close to my heart

11:02 pm

Pinikula

That's awesome, Ru! You'd do great at both!

11:02 pm

rururocks

I think so.. I would like to be helpful

11:03 pm

Nef

Wow, ru; that's pretty cool. (I was expecting something less serious from you tonight)

11:03 pm

rururocks

like punner's anonymous Nef?

11:03 pm

Pinikula

ROFL

11:03 pm

Nef

I think you'd be great at both volunteer places.

11:04 pm

Pinikula

(brb)

11:04 pm

Nef

LOL! Yes!

11:05 pm

rururocks

"forgive me lord for I have punned"

11:07 pm

Nef

I've helped out at the elementary school just 2 blocks from me. I dragger DH along to help with vision testing for the past 2 years; I've always enjoyed working with kids. DH; however, doesn't have the same feelings for kids (he's short-tempered at times)

11:07 pm

Nef

Oh, oh. I've unleashed the runner now....

11:08 pm

rururocks

the runner?

11:08 pm

Nef

Punner; not runner.(Darn autocorrect!)

11:09 pm

rururocks

I'm on best behavior lately nef

11:09 pm

rururocks

:D

11:11 pm

Pinikula

back

11:11 pm

Nef

That isn't a good sign; when you're on good behavior, it kind of feels like a sorts of trouble is building up.

11:11 pm

rururocks

hi again pini.. nice to see you back by the way

11:11 pm

Nef

wb, Pini

11:11 pm

Pinikula

Just noticed the time, too...I have a volunteer day tomorrow (bright and early), so I'd best be heading out. Has been great seeing ol' friends!

11:12 pm

Pinikula

Thanks, Ru! It's been a really pleasant visit. :)

11:12 pm

rururocks

*waves happy trails to the ol' cowhand"

11:12 pm

Nef

Take care; Pini! & come play more often!

11:12 pm

Pinikula

Aw, shucks..."I'll be back!" Have a great evening!!!

11:13 pm

Nef

11:16 pm

Nef

Pini; not Mini! (I leave auto correct on because this keyboard is quirky; but then I forget to look at what I've typed & it changes everything.

11:19 pm

rururocks

minikula is kind of cute too

11:19 pm

rururocks

so would rurukula too though

11:22 pm

Nef

LOL! If I remember correctly, she was on another board or game and someone there died, so several members added the "kula" to their names in remembrance of that person.

11:23 pm

Nef

And it does seem to be easy to add to names, doesn't it?

I'd be Nefkula -- which also doesn't sound bad

11:25 pm

Nef

I suppose you're just waiting around until the "Flip" tonight?

11:25 pm

rururocks

yep.. just bopping in and out

11:25 pm

rururocks

nefekule

11:26 pm

rururocks

nefekula

11:26 pm

Nef

So when did you finish the grid, ru?

11:28 pm

rururocks

a half hour after the flip last night

11:28 pm

rururocks

I like to bang them out when possible

11:30 pm

Nef

I know you said that you had 90 words or something close to that when I quit & went to bed

11:31 pm

Nef

I thought you were joking

11:31 pm

rururocks

this was an easy to see grid for me for once lately

11:32 pm

rururocks

no.. I don't joke at the flip.. I bang out the words as fast as possible

11:34 pm

Nef

Okay. WHO am I really talking to? ;-)

11:34 pm

Nef

You sound WAY too serious. (Are you okay?)

11:35 pm

Nef

(That last sentence was real concern, BTW)

11:37 pm

rururocks

lol

11:38 pm

rururocks

I love seeing how fast I can get most of the grid done.. that's just me.. some are way too hard to make a lot of progress though

11:38 pm

rururocks

i'm kind of a competitive person by nature

11:40 pm

rururocks

and definitely OCD when it comes to this game

11:40 pm

Nef

I try to stay up & finish the grids; but I no longer can stay up as late as I used to when I was working.
And this grid is harder to me tonight.

11:42 pm

Nef

I just can't compete with all the speedy Babblers anymore; I fall asleep instead

11:43 pm

rururocks

yeah.. there are a bunch of us nuts at the flip

11:44 pm

Nef

:-) true

11:44 pm

Nef

lovable nuts; but still nuts.

11:48 pm

Nef

I hate to leave you all alone; but I'm falling asleep now so should head off to bed again.

11:49 pm
