2:06 am

sprite

good morning all

2:07 am

sprite

lolol peach... young men picked them everyone...

2:08 am

sprite

wth, 16 ks??

2:08 am

sprite

I do not even KNOW that many k-words

2:13 am

Kamanjah

the one I just looked up is an Australian bird...never have seen that one before...this is a frustrating puzzle for me
BTW, Hi Sprite and Peach!

2:13 am

sprite

*hugs Kam* hi there! How are you doing?

2:14 am

sprite

ah right, the cuckoo, thanks

2:14 am

Kamanjah

OK here, how are you?

2:14 am

sprite

hah, ks killed

2:15 am

sprite

I am okay. Very painful hands due to an allergic reaction, but the rest is okay. Busy day ahead!

2:18 am

Kamanjah

Sorry to hear that, hope you make it thru. Allergies are awful, I have something weird going on - doc and I both thought it was a reaction to a med, but I've been off over a week and it's getting worse. At least mine is just itchy, not too painful if I remember not to scratch, lol!

2:18 am

sprite

itch is awful too. I hope it will go away quickly for you, Kam!

2:19 am

Kamanjah

I tried a different oil this afternoon, and it calmed everything down for about 4 hours, so reapplied. So far, so good!

2:20 am

sprite

ah, that is great! I am wearing white cotton gloves all day. It is very impractical, but it helps protect the hands and it keeps the salve in place.

2:20 am

Kamanjah

My nettles are just starting to grow, can't wait till I have enough to harvest and make a tincture! They're good for so many things - allergies and pain and rashes!

2:20 am

Kamanjah

My nettles are just starting to grow, can't wait till I have enough to harvest and make a tincture! They're good for so many things - allergies and pain and rashes!

2:21 am

sprite

true, nettles are good stuff

2:21 am

Kamanjah

Good idea, the gloves.

2:21 am

Kamanjah

How did that post twice? I can't type *that* fast, lol!

2:22 am

sprite

lolol you probably gave an extra enter when it didn't appear quickly enough

2:24 am

Kamanjah

lol, probably did hit the enter key too hard. I never had that happen before. Must be gentle with my ancient keyboard...I counted up the blank keys today - 18 blank letter keys. I need a new keyboard methinks

2:25 am

sprite

*grins* sounds like it. Good for your touchtyping skills though

2:26 am

Kamanjah

hinting to hubs for Christmas...but the old ergomomic style seems to have disappeared into history, so they're all used, and expen$ive now. I can't type on a flat keyboard now unless I poke at it

2:28 am

sprite

I hope he will hunt one down for you

2:28 am

Kamanjah

I think he got the hint...I hope :)

2:28 am

sprite

:D

3:00 am

sprite

fireflies. Apart from the Ks, not a bad grid. Sleep well, Kam, and a lovely day tomorrow. I hope your itch will disappear very soon.

3:07 am

Kamanjah

Whew, me too, that last de7 was new to me.

3:07 am

Kamanjah

Hope your hands are better soon, Sprite!

Ancestry.com has a sale on DNA testing. I think I will place an order for myself and my mother. Or should I do all of my siblings. $69 x 5 is a lot of money but the info will be interesting.

8:15 am

mael

that's cool, scrabs

8:15 am

Judi

My BIL just sent my husband a DNA test. However, my BIL already had his DNA test done. Seems redundant to have all siblings done.

8:15 am

mael

I just ordered 23 and me when they had a sale over thanksgiving

8:16 am

mael

I know nothing about my birth mother so I'm actually kind of excited

8:16 am

Scrabbler

That's neat for you, mael.

8:17 am

Scrabbler

My mother's parents were from Naples, Italy and Sicily, and Sicily has a fascinating history of ownership.

8:17 am

Scrabbler

23 and Me is $79 per kit.

8:19 am

mael

it was 49 over thanksgiving, I got one for my husband too

8:20 am

mael

my father was italian, but my birth mother was (is?) american, I only know her name

8:21 am

bichon

I did that test at the urging of my cousin. She's a geneology freak. I have a family tree done by my older relatives.

8:22 am

Scrabbler

We have a tree for the Italian side going back to my mother's grandparents. Some of my GF's siblings (and his parents) stayed in Sicily.

8:23 am

bichon

I also did DNA testing for the BRCCA gene. Breast cancer runs in my fathers side of the family. I am negative as was my Mom. However, she had breast cancer thrice.

8:23 am

mael

I can trace my father's family back to the 1200, it's really neat

8:23 am

Judi

Wow, mael! That is exceptional.

8:24 am

mael

small town, good records :)

8:25 am

mael

people only moved a couple valleys over

8:26 am

mael

except for one particular incident with an ancestor knocking up the daughter of the bishop and fleeing to the czech republic for a while...

8:26 am

Scrabbler

Wow, mael! How did you do that?

8:27 am

mael

one of our cousins is a historian so she already had all the info

8:27 am

mael

I just grew up with the stories :)

8:30 am

Scrabbler

My mother has told the "mal occhio" story = evil eye hex placed on someone.

That's a big question, bichon, and l don't have an easy answer. My Fr friends range fromtrue feminist to traditional housewives

10:21 am

10:21 am

Bugsaw

Hello Pini. Long time no see. Ihope you are well

8:33 pm

Pinikula

hiya Bugs!!!

8:33 pm

Pinikula

Yes, it's been awhile...been trying to get back in every now and then more often... doing OK...yourself?

8:34 pm

Bugsaw

I am retired now and love the freedom of it.

8:35 pm

Pinikula

Oh, I'm jealous and wish I were in the same boat!!!

8:35 pm

Pinikula

...and so glad to hear you're doing well!

8:37 pm

Bugsaw

I feel like I paid my dues and earned my retirement. When I left the school district I worked for years as a tutor so I got a higher hourly salary and only worked with kids whose parents were interested. Much more fulfulling.

8:38 pm

Bugsaw

After I got OAP I didn't need to tutor any more so now I am truly retired.

8:39 pm

Bugsaw

How are your grandkids? Must be huge by now.

8:50 pm

Pinikula

Congrats on the full retirement. I still have a "few" years to go. The grands are getting big...17, 8 and 2 now. The eldest in studying in Denmark this year. (I'm jealous of that, too.)

8:57 pm

Bugsaw

17! wow!

8:57 pm

Pinikula

That's what I keep saying!!! LOL

9:02 pm

Pinikula

...and now off to get ready for an online meeting. Until next time...enjoy!!!

9:03 pm

Pinikula

(oh, one quick question...Bugs, if you're using Babble Expert, would you mind sending me a link - I purchased a new laptop and would love to get it installed there - Thanks!)

9:03 pm

Pinikula

*tootles*

9:04 pm

I would if I could be my computer exploded last weekend and I lost all kinds of stuff too. So sorry but I am sure someone out there can help Pini, please@

Hiya kiddos.

Bugsaw

Hi origami.

9:05 pm

origami

How are you doing bugs?

9:05 pm

Bugsaw

Are you away from the fires?

9:05 pm

origami

Yes, a long way away this time.

9:06 pm

Bugsaw

good to hear. California has had a terrible time this year

9:07 pm

origami

No kidding. Ru's situation was iffy at times.

9:09 pm

Bugsaw

it must have been terrifying to be forced to evacuate. Not-knowing is the worst.

9:14 pm

origami

Indeed! I had to evacuate my home in the Santa Cruz mountains once because of mud slides and didn't know for 2 weeks. Oh, California. People think we worry about earthquakes. It's fire and freaky weather that scares us.

9:21 pm

Bugsaw

Fires and freaky winds are a terrifying combination that seems to happen every year. We are waiting for "The Big One", meaning huge earthquake, up here but it could come anytime in the next 100 years so it doesn't seem as imminent. We are supposed to have earthquake kits and most people do.

9:24 pm

origami

I am woefully unprepared for any catastrophe. I need to get a go bag together and water, etc.

9:26 pm

Bugsaw

I hope it never comes to the point where you need it. I often believe being prepared is a protection in itself.

9:27 pm

Bugsaw

Like how it never rains when you remember to take an umbrella

9:29 pm

origami

Maybe that is why there has been so many drought years in CA. I always have an umbrella in my car :D

9:30 pm

Bugsaw

love that attitude origami!
