Maisie

oops sorry wrong box

1:45 am

sprite

blame the silly layout of the site :)

1:46 am

Maisie

No blame me for not concentrating

1:46 am

grannyrose

day was busy. started with dishes and cleaning jars ready for the ladies at church. then i cleaned out the cupboard in the bathroom, removing out of date stuff, and then i cleaned the bathroom itself. whew !! don has started up again, removing bricks from the fireplace between the kitchen and laundry.

1:46 am

flosey

hi there Rose and hugs to you and Sprite - and hoping that your next trip will be to western Canada???

1:46 am

grannyrose

yay !! maisie!! hugs and kisses for you too dear lady.

1:46 am

flosey

wow, busy lady!!

1:46 am

sprite

wow, going strong there, rose

1:47 am

Maisie

All that cleaning then he starts making a mess, not good

1:47 am

sprite

lol

1:49 am

grannyrose

and i had a great idea for the kitchen. when we remove current cupboards we are going to put in a floor to ceiling display unit, with cupboards at the bottom. this way we don't have to move the current door into the kitchen.

1:49 am

sprite

wow nice, sounds like a good idea

1:49 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs, friends

1:50 am

flosey

Big job Rose but sounds lovely

1:50 am

grannyrose

{{liz}} hugs and kisses for both of you.

1:50 am

Maisie

Hi Liz

1:50 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* Hi there, I hope the both of you are okay and had a nice day?

1:50 am

Lizlin

Like your idea for the kitchen, Rose.

1:51 am

Lizlin

Quiet day here. Hubby had an appointment, so I cooked him a surprise b'day cake. Just back from the gym.

1:51 am

Maisie

Hope it does take as long to finish as mine is

1:51 am

sprite

happy birthday to hubby!

1:51 am

grannyrose

it would empty two display units currently in the loungeroom, and would probably take all out good china and glassware.

1:51 am

flosey

hi Liz - lovely birthday surprise!

1:52 am

grannyrose

*our*.

1:52 am

Lizlin

Not til the weekend but I wanted it to be a surprise. Then our anniversary on Sunday. Busy weekend! But thanks.

1:52 am

grannyrose

Lizlin

Thanks also, flosey

1:52 am

sprite

and a happy anniversary to you both

1:52 am

grannyrose

and wow!! happy anniversary too

1:53 am

Lizlin

We deliberately got married the day after his b'day, so he'd remember the date!

1:53 am

sprite

lol!

1:54 am

grannyrose

roflolll, and did it work?

1:54 am

Maisie

Good idea Liz, mine neverremembers our anniversary

1:54 am

Lizlin

Yes!

1:55 am

Lizlin

Well, I learnt because I always had to remind him of my birthday!

1:55 am

grannyrose

mwah..... had my pneumovax on Monday. it is now the size of a serving spoon. so hot, and quite tender.

1:56 am

Maisie

He remembers my birthday, it's too close to Christmas to forget

1:56 am

sprite

what is a pneumovax?

1:56 am

grannyrose

vaccination against pneumonia

1:56 am

Lizlin

Mine too but we don't celebrate Christmas, so that doesn't help!

1:56 am

Lizlin

Good idea, Rose

1:57 am

sprite

aw, poor Rose. *cooling kisses*

1:57 am

grannyrose

over 65's get it for free.

1:57 am

Lizlin

Yes, loads of sympathy too.

1:57 am

Maisie

I hate needles but due to have my travel injections next week

1:58 am

Lizlin

Oooh! Where are you off to?

1:58 am

Maisie

China

1:58 am

sprite

not fun, Maisie, but necessary.

1:58 am

grannyrose

*hand up in the air* pick me to give them, pick me

1:58 am

Lizlin

Exciting.

1:58 am

Maisie

Are you gentle then Rose

1:58 am

sprite

I bet Rose can give them without you even noticing

1:59 am

Maisie

That I would like

1:59 am

Lizlin

Nurses are always better than doctors in my experience. Apologies to any lurking doctors!

1:59 am

grannyrose

absolutely, besides it would mean another trip over there... loll

1:59 am

Maisie

Now that would be good

1:59 am

sprite

very true, Liz. They get a lot more experience for sure

1:59 am

Lizlin

Aha! Good scheming.

2:00 am

grannyrose

lots of my patients would ask, when are you doing it? and i would say, all done

2:00 am

Maisie

You're booked!

2:00 am

sprite

:D

2:00 am

Lizlin

Not surprising, You're a gentle person.

2:01 am

grannyrose

my patients were never used as a dart board.

2:04 am

Lizlin

2:29 am

sprite

sounds like a plan

2:31 am

grannyrose

what's on for you today, honey?

2:32 am

sprite

nothing much, methinks. Internet meeting at 10, I hope. Bit of writing and translating, bit of pebble painting. Walking Terra. And baking bread.

2:33 am

sprite

oh, and cleaning the kitchen :)

2:33 am

grannyrose

good luck with the bread. the only bread i ever tried to make we used as door stops.

2:34 am

sprite

am making spelt bread atm, so far it looks like Rob can eat that without triggering gout attacks. It is very tasty. But in the bread machine, am still learning to bake without the machine.

2:35 am

grannyrose

you will succeed at it i am sure.

2:36 am

sprite

in the end, yeah. It takes lots of practise.

2:37 am

sprite

fireflies. Not a bad grid. We might be in for a real biggie soon, if the gerund will form.

2:37 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE !!!

2:37 am

sprite

*hugs* and lots of love for the both of you, darling. Sleep well tonight and have a wonderful day tomorrow.

2:38 am

ut5/12 - a useful French word.

6:09 am

periwinkle

hi Haz and thank you

6:10 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, peri - and hello.

6:12 am

periwinkle

good to see you Haz

6:12 am

periwinkle

bbl

6:12 am

Haz1558

Bye, peri.

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Hi Haz! How are you? I miss seeing you here!

6:18 am

Haz1558

Hello, Scrabbler, I'm well, thanks. How are you?

6:19 am

Scrabbler

I am doing well. How is your husband? Do you have a dog?

6:20 am

Haz1558

Husband is fine, still working but starting to think of retirement in a couple of years. I have a little blue roan cocker spaniel (5 years old).

6:21 am

Haz1558

He's called Dempsey and is very handsome. We've just come back from a rainy walk and he's having a nap.

6:21 am

Scrabbler

I just looked at Google photos--beautiful dog.

6:22 am

Haz1558

His beauty causes him to be excused most things.

6:22 am

Scrabbler

Same with most animals and very young children.

6:23 am

Haz1558

I know. I'm something of a pushover with him. He's the living embodiment of the Olivia Newton John song 'Hopelessly devoted'.

6:24 am

Haz1558

How about your bunnies, still hopping along?

6:26 am

Scrabbler

I currently have 2 rabbits: Remy Martin is a 3 yr old tri-colored mini-Rex and Sir Gulliver Rabbit is an 8 yr old helicopter boy--one ear up, one ear lop.

6:27 am

Haz1558

That must look quite endearing (the lopside ears).

6:28 am

Haz1558

I know you looked after your grand-nephews for a while. I thought you were heroic. They're doing well?

6:28 am

Scrabbler

It is.

6:29 am

Scrabbler

I see the boys every Monday afternoon and they are doing well. Their parents (long separated) both need to mature into respectful adults though.

6:29 am

Haz1558

The parents growing up seems to be a harder problem than the boys. I'm sure the boys appreciate all you've done for them.

6:30 am

Scrabbler

That was a very tough 6 months for everyone--me, the boys, and the entire family. I still cannot believe that I was a foster mother for 6 months.

6:30 am

Scrabbler

The boys are just 5 and 2.5 so too young to understand, and I am not sure they will remember that they lived with me.

6:31 am

bichon

The older one will

6:31 am

Haz1558

Sometimes you just have to do things because it's the right thing to do and taking things one day at a time is probably the only way to get through it.

6:31 am

Scrabbler

Hi bichon.

6:31 am

Haz1558

If you stay in contact with them, they're bound to remember you and be thankful. If they have any sense, that is!

6:32 am

bichon

Hi Scrabs, Haz

6:32 am

Scrabbler

That is what I did, Haz. I did what I had to do, knowing it was finite, and I just loved those boys everyday.

6:32 am

Haz1558

Hello, bichon.

6:32 am

Haz1558

I know it was tough for you but I was really rooting for you.

6:33 am

Scrabbler

I lost 20 lbs and was exhausted.

6:33 am

Haz1558

Goodness, I must see about fostering boys immediately. I could do with some weight loss.

6:34 am

Haz1558

The exhaustion I could do without.

6:34 am

Scrabbler

Yes, it was a very effective weight-loss program--foster 2 toddlers for 6 months.

6:35 am

Scrabbler

I was a single, working mother at age 56. It was challenging.

6:35 am

Haz1558

I w onder if that could be worked into a maths exam question? If a woman loses 20 lbs in 6 months with 2 toddlers, how much weight would she lose in a year with 4?

6:35 am

Scrabbler

And now I must go to work and earn money.

6:35 am

Haz1558

Hope your day goes well, Scrabbler.

6:35 am

Scrabbler

Good one, Haz. I need to lose more weight still.

6:36 am

Haz1558

But you're fit and active, that counts for a lot.

6:53 am

HarryHood

... good morning ruby

7:27 am

rubyfoo

128 words this morning, but fell asleep after lunch

7:27 am

rubyfoo

Do is still licking and it seems to be his "dewclaw" (is that the right word)

7:28 am

rubyfoo

Your were all very kind yesterday

7:28 am

doseffing

... too many w ... unless that's the French

7:29 am

rubyfoo

I was just guessing, no idea of the French

7:34 am

rubyfoo

I just looked it up. I think he must have caught the dewclaw on something

7:37 am

doseffing

... I imagine that a dog would have trouble with that ... I'll bet it is prone to infections from trapped dirt and such ... probably quite annoying for the animal

7:39 am

bichon

ruby, did he hurt his dewclaw Can it be removed?

7:54 am

rubyfoo

I looked at it but it doesn't look odd, just wet. But if it hurts, that must be why he's licking it.

8:16 am

mael

I keep seeing sinister, that would have been a good word

8:17 am

suefrad625

morning all

8:19 am

suefrad625

me too mael

8:20 am

suefrad625

ruby, it is an easy operation to take off the dewclaw.

8:20 am

suefrad625

give him the benedryl again, it might help to keep him calm when you take him to the vet

8:21 am

suefrad625

or, they can give you drugs for that purpose

8:21 am

suefrad625

how is it posible to not see any N's

8:22 am

suefrad625

and then they come

8:22 am

lynxxx

Are you sure Sue...I asked once about my 3 y.o. dog and was told dew claws can only be taken off when they are very young - too painful otherwise

8:22 am

suefrad625

at least 4 of them

8:23 am

suefrad625

Lynxxx, if it is causing an issue, i think they would have no choice.

8:28 am

suefrad625

after reading a bunch, it is best to let him smoke a joint, and then throw him in the car and take him to the vet. and then like most kids, take him for ice cream after.

8:29 am

suefrad625

ruby, i waited on an absess on my dog until it was a huge surgery and very painful for her. I feel so guilty.

MLF - you need to add a vowel in the middle

9:21 am

Uneaixoise

9:21 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, the scientists say if there are clouds it may be avoided by going over the mountains
