flosey

hi there Sprite and Rose

1:19 am

grannyrose

excellent news sprite. and lolll flosey.... good eve to you too.

1:19 am

sprite

it went pretty okay. At one point he looked at me, and I looked back without any expression, and he blinked, looked down and turned away from us.

1:19 am

sprite

*hugs flosey* Good evening to you! I hope you are well. How is the head?

1:19 am

grannyrose

whoa !! WTG SPRITE !!!

1:20 am

sprite

and my sister was soooo happy we came. That alone made it all worth it. It meant the world to her.

1:20 am

sprite

thanks for your thoughts and prayers, hun. I felt them and they helped a zillion. The Big Guy helped too, all the time.

1:21 am

flosey

head is back to normal thanks Sprite

1:21 am

grannyrose

wow !! how lovely to have that reaction from your sister.

1:22 am

sprite

that is good to hear, flosey. Doctor soon, right?

1:22 am

sprite

yeah, my sister always feels like she is in the middle, which she is... and this time she was not. She invited us all and we all came. That made her day.

1:23 am

grannyrose

don has another cold. it is so weird. no infection there. has seen doc. just a non-productive cough and a runny nose.

1:23 am

flosey

yes Sprite, Thursday

1:23 am

sprite

will think of you, flosey

1:24 am

sprite

how odd, rose. Almost sounds like an allergy.

1:25 am

grannyrose

that's what i think. i have been giving him antihistamines and my magic concoction of, lemon, honey and soluble aspirin.

1:25 am

sprite

defence on all fronts, should work

1:27 am

grannyrose

and doc suggested salbutamol nebs via the nebuliser, just to open up the airway enough so nothing pools in the bottom of his lungs.

1:27 am

sprite

smart thinking

1:31 am

grannyrose

i was so scared. there have been a lot of deaths from the flu over here lately. one was a 30 year old man. took ill on the monday, died on the friday.

1:32 am

sprite

wow how horrible, rose! Not a common thing, nowadays, to die of a flu.

1:37 am

grannyrose

new strain of the flu, honey. any babbler heading towards the cooler weather really must have the flu vaccine before leaving home. come to think of it, a lot of you are moving into the cooler months soon. please take care of yourselves.

1:39 am

sprite

no worries, rose. Will get the flu vaccine as a matter of routine here, because I am diabetic. Probably next month. I expect an announcement any moment now.

1:46 am

flosey

seeing Doc this week Rose, will ask about that - It's been so many years since I've had flu, can't remember! But do remember it can be quite unpleasant

1:47 am

grannyrose

please flosey, put it second on your list. xoxox

1:47 am

sprite

usually that is all it is, a couple of very unpleasant weeks. But with complications, it can be very worrisome.

1:48 am

grannyrose

this new strain cause body systems to shut down.

1:48 am

flosey

ouch!! very nasty indeed

1:50 am

sprite

lol, caught myself an ambling horse

1:53 am

sprite

fireflies. A few oddball words today. Good for my new-word-learned routine though

1:54 am

sprite

*hugs to you both, and to Don too* I wish you a lovely evening, a peaceful night and a blessed day.

1:55 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE !! xoxox honey. hugs for you both

1:57 am

grannyrose

Name the stuffing you can buy that is in the grid today!

3:55 am

Lizlin

Hi Zooz - Paxo :)

3:56 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Liz :-) Correct!! You win a day full of sunshine and happiness!

3:56 am

rubyfoo

Good morning

3:56 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Ruby :-)

3:57 am

Lizlin

Hi Ruby. Thanks, Zooz. Just had one of those. Hopefully another tomorrow. We have friends from the UK staying with us and the weather has been just perfect.

3:58 am

rubyfoo

I've thought of a very cynical epithet for CNN's coverage of the hurricane: disaster porn!

3:58 am

zoozzoom

Sounds like you will be having lots of fun then, Liz. Glad they are having a wondeful time!

3:58 am

Lizlin

I think that it's everything that they hoped for. We went up to the Barrier Reef last week - it's just amazing snorkelling there.

3:59 am

Lizlin

Nice one Ruby - I haven't watched much but of course have been reading about it.

3:59 am

rubyfoo

Naturally, l watched obsessively all weekend, their hysteria fed perfectly into my concerns for all the people l know throughout Florida

4:00 am

zoozzoom

Wow I bet it was! Liz, sounds lovely.

4:00 am

rubyfoo

Some of my friends evacuated, others hunkered down

4:00 am

Lizlin

The sister of my friend who's here lives in the path of the hurricane. As far as I know, she's fine but of course it's a frightening situation for those there and for those who know people there.

4:00 am

rubyfoo

Wow, l would love to see the Barrier Reef but l think it's too late for me!!!

4:01 am

Lizlin

Perhaps one day ... hopefully.

4:02 am

zoozzoom

I did watch a few hours of it last night, Ruby. I did see the reporter in Naples when the hurricane was gusting around 141 mph it was so powerful and I felt so sorry for the people that had to endure all of that without power so not knowing how long it was going to continue battering them with all the noises going on outside. Must of been Terrible.

4:02 am

rubyfoo

l can live vicariously through the expÃ©riences of my friends and with the help of National Geographic

4:03 am

zoozzoom

I could only watch CNN as sky has removed Fox news from the channels.

4:04 am

rubyfoo

I know people in Miami, Hialeah, Naples, Ft Meyers, Ft Lauderdale, Tallahassee, Tampa and points north along the coast

4:05 am

zoozzoom

They said they removed it as it was not viable and the viewing numbers was too low.... I thought...It had nothing to do with 21st century fox trying to buy sky then..lol

4:07 am

zoozzoom

Just think how the caribbean islands faired then as they had the full force of Irma.

4:10 am

zoozzoom

Sorry did not mean to kill the chat.

4:10 am

Lizlin

I'm just working as fast as I can to finish the grid because we're off whale watching tomorrow morning, so I won't have time then.

4:10 am

zoozzoom

Anyone have the stats for the lone E please?

4:11 am

Lizlin

Not me! But I'll look

4:11 am

zoozzoom

You live in a beautiful part of the world, Liz. Glad you are making the most of it!

4:12 am

Lizlin

eg 4/6 - simple when "I" looked.

4:12 am

zoozzoom

And it is nice to see you appreciate the beauty too!

4:12 am

Lizlin

It is beautiful, zooz and I know how lucky I am.

4:13 am

zoozzoom

I swear I had entered that word already. Many thanks, Liz!

4:13 am

Lizlin

How can go 6 be acceptable! That's not the plural I know for those birds!

4:13 am

Lizlin

yw

4:16 am

zoozzoom

Ah found out why, Liz. It is not the plural of the bird. it is a handle of an iron.

4:17 am

zoozzoom

So you can have plural of those.

4:17 am

Lizlin

Thanks for checking that. It makes more sense now I know.

4:17 am

Lizlin

Or of course, thinking about it, it could be a verb!!!

4:18 am

rubyfoo

Back, Rufie insisted on a massage!

4:18 am

zoozzoom

For when you have time the link is here.

4:22 am

rubyfoo

4:22 am

TO - definitely a good time for those cookies!
crystallized ginger is also called candied ginger. i just get it at my regular grocery store, so im sure wegmans would have it...mine is semi-hidden in the produce area, but id bet they may also have it in the baking aisle.
if nothing else, a store employee should be able to tell you where to find it.

SamanthaJoy

The bear was named "after" (named similarly to) a baseball player who was famour for witticisms and malapropisms.

rururocks

like the famous catcher for the Yankees

11:04 am

I was watching a little bit of the 9/11 they are showing on TV but it was just too upsetting for me to watch.

4:04 pm

mkg

i cant bear to watch it. no tv today for me.

4:18 pm

MollyL

It is a day that people should remember the horrible things that were done to this country and to remember all those lost, and those mourning the ones they lost. If it upsets you, turn your thoughts to the positive and hope for better days to come. And send a little light to those who still have deep wounds from what happened.

5:55 pm

tabbycat

Well said, Molly

molly, what do you know about resizing images that come up too large in this application>

8:08 pm

hurshy

it's really weird teaching elementary school on sept 11

8:09 pm

hurshy

my students were born years after it happened! so i gave them 15 mins to ask questions about it because their knowledge of what happened is rather fuzzy

8:12 pm

hurshy

these two absolutely darling, sweet, lovable fourth grade girls were completely set on the fact that they would have done what the passengers on the fourth plane did - take it back from the hijackers and crash it in an empty area rather than into a place full of people. in fact, not only were they set on that, when they knew they would die either way, but they both said that EVEN IF it were a choice between THEM surviving but lots of others being killed, or dying themselves, they would sacrifice themselves rather than let a large number of people die. blessed their little advanced ethical souls!

8:14 pm

dan2bit

wow

8:24 pm

dan2bit

noogie is so a word

8:24 pm

hurshy

yeah that is what i said this morning to myself

8:25 pm

hurshy

8:25 pm

dan2bit

right!

8:25 pm

dan2bit

listing with 30 to go. that's a great reflection hursh

8:27 pm

hurshy

what, noogies plural, or my wonderful students?

8:27 pm

dan2bit

I was actually on the Potomac River fishing with my Dad in 2001. We noticed that the planes had stopped landing at DCA, then we saw the smoke. Like fools we zoomed up the river to check it out (we were at the Southern tip of DC) and we saw the Pentagon evacuation under way from the marina next door. The crash site was on the inland side

8:27 pm

dan2bit

(your students)

8:28 pm

hurshy

wow, so you were really on the spot

8:28 pm

hurshy

one of the spots

8:29 pm

dan2bit

we were eventually approached by a police boat who told us what had happened in NYC and that there was still a plane in the air (Flight 93), and if we were perhaps not insane we should get the he double hockey sticks off the river

8:29 pm

hurshy

yeah those girls are the kind of kids who really give you hope for the future of humanity

8:35 pm

dan2bit

argh - stuck on 99 words. Would really like to find 1 more before listing

hurshy

8:37 pm

hurshy

not that you wouldn't. it's just easy to clue.

8:38 pm

dan2bit

I do. I could use stats for the 8?

8:38 pm

hurshy

perhaps the do5/20 that describes how you're lying if you're lying in such a way as to avoid notice, like a soldier in one of the world wars

8:39 pm

hurshy

ah the 8 is ap8/55, in a combo with 7/40

8:39 pm

dan2bit

rubyfoo

Can't sleep, the sadness never goes away. I ws already here when my life changed forever<<

10:10 pm

rubyfoo

I was in those buildings so many times as l did some work for the Port Authoritu

10:16 pm

Nef

Hi rubyfoo.

10:18 pm

Nef

I'm sorry to see that you have been that close to ground zero that it has affected you emotionally like that.

10:25 pm

rubyfoo

I think being a New Yorker but being here made it worse. It never goes away

10:38 pm

Nef

I've never been in New York (yet); but I've been in D.C. a number of times although I've never seen or noticed the Pentagon before.
To me, it was just the fact that our country had such terrible things happen; and that people would hate us so much that they would die trying to destroy us.

10:42 pm

Nef

(I really don't know how to express my feelings about this; I know that I'm horribly naive about world politics & such; but I too have had terrible nightmares about what happened that night for me; even though I was here in MN and personally didn't know anyone in any of those planes or buildings.

10:49 pm

rubyfoo

My sister sentmeall the lists of names of the dead, but, somehow, none of the people l had worked with on the LaGuardia project, was killed.

10:49 pm

rubyfoo

I've never been able to go back to Manhattan

10:51 pm

Nef

I can understand that.

10:52 pm

Nef

And yet many people *have* gone back there (after not being there for many years)and for some it sounds like the memorial at Ground Zero has had a healing effect for them.

10:54 pm

Nef

I don't know how it would affect me if I had personal ties with anyone there or even the buildings there.

11:39 pm

rururocks

I'm going to new York next month.. can't wait

11:40 pm

Nef

Business trip, ru?

11:40 pm

Nef

or fun?

11:41 pm

rururocks

fun.. just fun and more fun

11:42 pm

Nef

okay; What's with the Canadian Flag?

11:42 pm

Nef

(And the birds?)

11:45 pm

rururocks

I'm thinking about buying a house in Canada

11:46 pm

Nef

I didn't think you liked the cold climate?

11:47 pm

rururocks

BC's climate is somewhat similar to what we have here

11:47 pm

rururocks

I'm not tough enough for Calgary or WInnepeg

11:48 pm

Nef

Ahh; and how is the grape growing up there?

11:49 pm

rururocks

there are some nice wineries in the Okanagan Valley

11:49 pm

rururocks

on Vancouver and Salt Spring Island, winemaking leaves a lot to be desired

11:51 pm

Nef

(I was wondering if it was Salt Spring Island that you were interested in

11:52 pm

rururocks

nope.. Vancouver Island is the most fascinating place for me

11:53 pm

rururocks

Salt Spring is too hippy-ish and a little too isolated

11:55 pm

Nef

I have a nephew who lives a bit farther north than that; but he really gets snowed in during the winter. (& he works just outside Vancouver, so it isn't *that* far north

11:56 pm

rururocks

I like the area that Bugsaw lives in.. maybe about 1/2 an hour south of her

11:57 pm

rururocks

I'm likely to look at houses next year

11:58 pm

Nef

(he lives in Squamish, BC. I just checked)
