hi, sprite! I have 3 x ke4/8, what's the last one?
1:48 am

hiya rbud! The last one is kr5/18
1:49 am
rbud
ty! not sure I've seen that one before. Well, with a C, but....
1:50 am
sprite
most likely a coin :)
1:51 am
sprite
yep, a coin. To be precise: "an aluminum bronze coin and monetary unit of Estonia from 1928 to 1940 and from 1992 to 2010, when it was replaced by the euro, equal to 100 marks or senti"
1:53 am
rbud
what! dr5er isn't a word? whatever do they think babies are? I tested, it would accept "slobberer", haha!
1:54 am
rbud
makes sense. seems a lot of odd coins start with K. :)
1:54 am
sprite
*grins* too true
1:54 am
sprite
ikr? Tried it several times, certain I mistyped and it should take.
1:56 am
rbud
expecting my first ever official grandbaby any day now, speaking of dr5. Wish Hubs had lived to see her. (they found out the sex already.)
1:56 am
sprite
oh wow, how exciting, rbud! And I am so sorry your beloved is no longer there with you to enjoy it together. I bet he is watching over them though.
1:57 am
rbud
have a couple of sort-of step grandsons, they belong to daughter's boyfriend, and since they've been together for like 12 years, the boys count somewhat, but live with their mom most of the time.
1:58 am
sprite
I am sure you love them to pieces. This baby-to-be will be something different though... very precious!
1:59 am
rbud
we've had these two kids around since they were like 4 and 6. :)
1:59 am
sprite
I am sure you are very important to them, as semi grandparent.
2:00 am
rbud
yes, and I'm trying to get creative and make something for her, but so far just holding off - doesn't quite seem real just yet. I'm sure it will hit me like a brick, though!
2:01 am
sprite
oh yeah :D
2:02 am
rbud
this is our son's girlfriend doing the expecting, and those two have a pretty tumultous relationship. Hoping it hits HIM like a brick, too, haha!
2:03 am
sprite
would be nice if it gave them a reason to stabilize their homelife.
2:06 am
rbud
he still lives here, for all intents and purposes, but spends the rest of his time with her at her apartment. When they're not steamed up at each other. He's unfortunately very self-centered and easily bored, and his dad's big shop is his now, and full of his various "toys". All with wheels. And loud, sigh.
2:06 am

2:07 am

he's 26, how long does it take, bwahaha! :P
2:07 am
Maisie
I'm fine thank you. How are you two?
2:07 am
sprite
with boys? A little longer than with girls, mostly, lol. Our son is 21 and is finally showing signs of maturing.
2:07 am
Maisie
Congratulations on the expected granddaughter bud
2:08 am
sprite
I am well. Was feeling a bit under the weather yesterday, but slept well and that makes a lot of difference :) Good to hear you are fine.
2:09 am
Maisie
Had to go to the hospital with hubby yesterday, he had a fall while I was away and damaged his muscle. He asked the doctor if he could still wash up and hoover, you can tell it was a male doctor because he told hubby that it could be fatal lol
2:11 am
sprite
roflollllll good answer! But am sorry to hear your hubby hurt himself. A torn muscle is so painful. I hope he is okay and that he is not driving you crazy?
2:13 am
Maisie
He damaged it before about 10 years ago and was off work for a year, drove me mad. Seems to be the same arm, he just can't move his arm forwards. Seems my kitchen won't be finished for quite a while
2:13 am
sprite
so sorry to hear that. Will pray that he may recover soon.
2:14 am
Maisie
Make sure you mention the kitchen!
2:15 am
sprite
oh yes! That first! Kitchen, not driving you mad, soonest recovery. Like that. :D
2:16 am
Maisie
Exactly like that, thank you sprite
2:18 am
rbud
just back from a domestic disturbance involving a couple of our kitties... laughing at hoovering being possibly fatal, haha!
2:18 am
sprite
fur flying, rbud?
2:19 am
Maisie
Yes load of tosh, he doesn't even know where I keep the hoover!
2:20 am
rbud
lots of unhappy loud carryings-on by the empty food dishes, also concerning who owns which dish, apparently.
2:21 am
sprite
cats are so much fun.
2:21 am
rbud
we have one verrrry old fellow, quite set in his ways. Resents the younger ones. I know the feeling! :D
2:22 am
Maisie
like children, fun till they start arguing
2:22 am
sprite
fireflies. *hugs* to you both and my best wishes to your hubby, Maisie.
*leaves a big hug for rose to find*

Nov is the worst for me as the days are so short. Happily, there are still flowers in the garden: spitea, sedum, buddleia, roses, geraniums, snap dragons.
4:48 am
rubyfoo
I see the oncologist on Thurs and am trying to stay optimistic
4:48 am
MollyL
How nice to have flowers in November. Most of what grows here gets killed off by an early frost by then.
4:48 am
MollyL
Hoping for good news on Thursday
4:49 am
rubyfoo
No no, by Nov, they're all gone, but it's still Sept and l'm hoping for some indians!
4:49 am

Ah, I misunderstood your comment. I don't like the short days either.
4:51 am

Ane here, because it's so far North, by Dec it's dark from before 5PM until after 8AM. I never noticed it in Florida, maybe brecause l worked such long days
