2:18 am
grannyrose

2:18 am
grannyrose
ugh... *today* and * ago*
2:18 am
sprite
oh good grief, I didn't even realise the date. Sorry! How lovely, darling, am so glad it worked out.
2:21 am
sprite
was it horrid?
2:21 am
grannyrose
i'm still very sleepy. but must try to keep to my routine. how was your night? that wretched fly still bad?
2:22 am
sprite
slightly better this morning. Bit of a bumpy night but slept in, so that should even out a bit.
2:23 am
grannyrose
in recovery it was pretty sre. the nurse gave me 2 endone. after about 10 minutes started to ease.
2:23 am
sprite
ugh, I know that feeling. Those 10 minutes seem like years.
2:24 am
grannyrose
is the flu all in the head? you know, stuffy nose, headache, and sore sinuses?
2:25 am
sprite
nope, it is mostly in the joints and muscles, overall tiredness and rebellious bowels.
2:26 am
grannyrose
you poor kid... at least if you sit on the loo and sneeze you are reasonably safe...loll
2:28 am
sprite
but on the plus side, after days of being a couch potato, I managed to cook dinner yesterday. Yay me.
2:29 am
sprite
so... how should things go for you from here out? Sleep, tonight, and then tomorrow, should you feel (or rather not feel) the effects fully?
2:29 am
grannyrose
wow!! yeah, yay for you. well done. btw that superstorm is actually missing us.
2:29 am
sprite
am so glad. I was rather worried about the weather at yours.
2:30 am
grannyrose
i am hoping i will feel heaps better. without the pain in my kne, my gait should be more normal.
2:30 am
sprite
that in itself should make a difference for your whole body. No more compensating to manage the knee pain.
2:41 am

Hey, Zooz
3:53 am
rubyfoo
Good morning!
3:53 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Ruby :-)
3:53 am
Aussieme
Morning Ruby!
3:54 am
rubyfoo
We're almost circling the globe!
3:55 am
rubyfoo
lt's really cold here but l'm counting on the fire and 12 layerrs of clothes to keep me warm enough
3:55 am
zoozzoom
Been rather chilly here too. Although it is supposed to warm up to around 10c tomorrow.
3:56 am
zoozzoom
4.7c here at the moment.
3:56 am
rubyfoo
l think it's -1 here and the house isn't much warmer
3:56 am
zoozzoom
Brr! keep yourself warm, Ruby.
3:57 am
rubyfoo
l look like a child in a snowsuit, arms straight out
3:57 am
zoozzoom
I thought it was cold in my house yesterday when it go no warmer than 13c I had a hat on and fleece around me with a hot water bottle. Thst is with my crappy economy 7 electric heater on full.
3:58 am
zoozzoom
LOL Bless you! As long as you are keeping warm who cares what you look like. No one can see you :-)
3:58 am
rubyfoo
l'm still onvinced that it's better to be cold in the house
3:59 am
rubyfoo
l haven't had a cold in more than 20 years and never flu
3:59 am
rubyfoo
(l hope that's not a jinx!)
4:00 am
zoozzoom
Well I am not lol I do prefer natural heat to manmade heating as it dries my skin up.But when it is cold I need heat.
4:00 am
zoozzoom
I hope not, Ruby you do not want that.
4:03 am
zoozzoom
I thinnk you get a lot of colds and flu from contact with other people. Schools seem to be a germ factory to take home to the family. My sister's children always seem to have a cold going around their home.
4:05 am
rubyfoo
That's true but l didn't get colds or flu when l taught little kids, even once during an epidemic when they closed the school
4:06 am
zoozzoom
Some people are lucky like that they seem to have a well built imune system! Either that or they are a carrier lol
4:06 am
rubyfoo
Thee only thing l've ever had is cancer, LOL
4:07 am
zoozzoom
Which is under control! ((Ruby))
4:07 am
rubyfoo
Yes, for now l am VERY Lucky!!!
4:08 am
rubyfoo
no moree chat for me
4:08 am
zoozzoom
I am not that far down the grid yet so will take it. Thanks!
4:08 am
zoozzoom
Poor excuse not to talk, Ruby :-)
4:08 am
rubyfoo
((zzoozz))
4:09 am
zoozzoom
I do only have 10 more minutes before I must go though.
4:10 am
MollyL
Ruby, I would rather see your grid words in the chat than read about the state of someone's bowels.
: D
4:11 am
rubyfoo
Ya think?
4:11 am
rubyfoo
Now, with Molly here, we are truly circling thee world! Yay
4:13 am
zoozzoom

4:14 am
rubyfoo
We had an aussie, that's close enough for jazz!
4:14 am
rubyfoo
but who's counting?
4:14 am
MollyL
It is not even winter yet and I am already hating this cold/dark thing
4:14 am
zoozzoom
Same here, Molly!
4:15 am
rubyfoo
l think it's much colder this year than last
4:15 am
zoozzoom
Still gets darker for longer here until 21st December.
4:15 am
rubyfoo
l got through Novembeer withpout depression, so that's a great thing!
4:15 am
MollyL
Mild winter, mild winter, mild winter
4:16 am
rubyfoo
I am very fortunate
4:16 am
zoozzoom
Good news, Ruby!
4:17 am
rubyfoo
When the dogs grew an extra layer of fur l expected a bitteer winter. Rufie actually has a beard this year!
4:17 am
MollyL
I am using a plant light on my plants this dark season and they seem to be doing better. We all love the light.
4:18 am
zoozzoom
I love light and warmth :-)
4:18 am
zoozzoom
Bless, Rufie. will have to buy him a beard trimming kit as a prezzie, Ruby LOL
4:19 am
rubyfoo
Happily (l've lost the comma) my house has lots of South-facing Windows so excep on the darkeest days it's bright
4:20 am
rubyfoo
Andd l've learned to build the fire without help (found it!), thank God!
4:20 am
zoozzoom
My garden is south facing so lovely in the Summer months.
4:20 am
zoozzoom
Did not get to the tile B yet but I need to get going. Plus it is much warmer round my parents home LOL
4:20 am
zoozzoom
Nice to talk to you, Ruby & Molly! Happy babbling everyone!
4:20 am
rubyfoo
There was shmutz on the keyboard, so the comma looked like a semi-colon DUH
4:21 am
rubyfoo
l'm working on the T
4:21 am
rubyfoo
Bye zzoozz
4:21 am
MollyL
Shmutz, I love that word
4:22 am
rubyfoo
lt's versatile
4:23 am
rubyfoo
lf you add ig, it becomes an adjective (l think)
4:24 am
rubyfoo
lt's either German, Dutch or Yiddish -- or maybe all three
4:25 am
rubyfoo
We'll have to ask an "expert"
4:26 am
rubyfoo
Do you know any linguists?
4:27 am
MollyL
Just Google, and Google says it is German
4:28 am
rubyfoo
lf l knew how to open another box, l'd stop assking so many questions
4:29 am
MollyL
Ruby, do you see a grey rectangle (tilted) right next to the white tab that says Babble: The Ultimate Word Game?
4:30 am
MollyL
At the very top of your screen
4:30 am
rubyfoo
ln there? l'll try
4:31 am
rubyfoo
DONE! Thank you, Molly
4:31 am
rubyfoo
Lunch arrives!
4:32 am
MollyL
It is referred to as "tab browsing". That way you can have Babble, Lickety, Morewords and any other screen available all at once.
4:33 am
rubyfoo
l was wrong, just dogs barking at nothing
4:34 am
rubyfoo
l figure that if l learn one new thing every day, whether it's a French word or a skill, l won't grow old. LOL
4:36 am
rubyfoo
<-- kidding myself, already old!
4:36 am
MollyL
It is remembering what you have learned that is the trick : D
4:39 am
MollyL
My new word for the day is an9. And I was a Psych major. But never heard that one.

May l pls have stats or a clue for the 9?
6:27 am
Lizlin
I was happy to finish the a's.
6:27 am
Lizlin
I had to use forewords for the an 9 - never heard of it.
6:28 am
Lizlin
an 9 - most of what a person does when they are trying to understand all about you and ends in the white stuff I love walking on when I go to the beach. But I'm sure there's a much better clue out there.
6:29 am
Lizlin
*of course that should read morewords
6:29 am

Hiyas, kiddos! The Christmas tree has been slain and is waiting to be installed in the front window.
1:16 pm
dan2bit
huzzah Judi! We have hung the outside lights, and the advent calendar, but otherwise are dawdling
1:17 pm
rururocks
did you saw off and buy one judi.. I hear they're expensive this year
1:17 pm
Judi
Hubby started on the exterior lighting last night. Told him he shouldn't plug them in until they were done. Nope. We have half a tree lit up - it's a white trash Christmas.
1:25 pm
Judi
We paid about $43 for ours. About average.
1:26 pm
rururocks
I don't do all the xmas stuff... it's like a regular day for me.. (actually it's a day off)
1:28 pm
Judi
It if was up to me, we wouldn't do much of anything, but... hubby loves the whole scene.
1:30 pm
rururocks
yeah.. it just being me and no kids or family.. it just is depressing to do all that stuff for me
1:31 pm
Judi
I understand. I'm just rather sick of the crass commercialism of the whole thing now.
1:32 pm
rururocks
(loves judi's icon)
1:35 pm
Judi
Perhaps I really am delusional. I put in an adoption application for a male cat yesterday. My husband fiercly misses our recently departed boy cat. I'm sure I'll get approved (as we have adopted from this organization before). Then we'll be right back to having another mouth to feed.
1:36 pm
dan2bit
haha Judi. We are fostering a rescue tom as we speak. On top of our 2 female permanent residents.
1:37 pm

Good for you, Dan. We also have 2 female cats and one husky/border collie mix dog.
