*hugs flosey* Good evening to you, dear lady. How was your day?

12:52 am

Rainiqui

I'm well Sprite, thanks

12:53 am

sprite

that is good to hear, R4iqui ;)

12:53 am

Rainiqui

Flosey - you must be out west?

12:53 am

flosey

has been a good one Sprite, quiet!! but restful - and how was yours

12:53 am

flosey

yes Raini - small island off the coast of BC

12:54 am

sprite

quiet and restful are very good things, in my opinion, lol. I try to get as many of those days as I can. My day yesterday was good, pretty restful too.

12:54 am

Rainiqui

I'm in Canada's southernmost city - Windsor Ontario

12:54 am

flosey

ah, I'm originally from East of Toronto - later from north of TO

12:55 am

Rainiqui

People don't believe me when I tell them we're on the same latitude as the northern California border, lol

12:56 am

flosey

I was unaware too Raini!

12:56 am

sprite

that's a funny thought :)

12:57 am

sprite

ra

12:57 am

sprite

sorry

12:57 am

Rainiqui

Sometimes I speak with a southern accent just to throw people off, lol

12:58 am

sprite

lol

12:58 am

flosey

Took me a long time to reach CA - by train daily, and off to visit and sleep in whatever town we were near - back in my younger years!! girlfriend and I left TO to visit school chums in California

12:59 am

Rainiqui

ah, the good ole days

12:59 am

flosey

indeed!!

1:00 am

flosey

unfortunately, all 3 are no longer with us

1:00 am

Rainiqui

but we're still here for you !

1:01 am

flosey

Rainiqui

tiph

1:01 am

sprite

must be one of the tough things of growing to the ripe old age... having to let go of so many family and friends

1:02 am

flosey

indeed it is Sprite, still quite hale and hearty at 86

1:02 am

sprite

you and jilli are so amazing. I want to be like you when I grow up.

1:03 am

flosey

somehow I get the feeling you will be Sprite!

1:03 am

sprite

from your mouth to God's ear, flosey

1:04 am

Kamanjah

Good to hear that you're hale and hearty at that nice age, Flosey!
Hi everyone!

1:04 am

flosey

I don't see much of Jill - she doesn't seem to be playing as much bridge - some night when my regular partner is not available I must give her a call

1:05 am

Rainiqui

Hi hi

1:05 am

grannyrose

{{sprite}}, {{flosey}} {{rainiqui}} {{kam}} hugs and kisses all round. xoxoxoxoxox

1:05 am

sprite

*hugs Kam* How are you and your beloved today? Did you get to have another peaceful day?

1:05 am

Rainiqui

And we send that your way too !

1:06 am

sprite

jilli must be somewhere in her 90s now... maybe she is finally slowing down a little bit?

1:06 am

flosey

hugs back Rose, always good to see you

1:06 am

Rainiqui

are you talking about Jillibus?

1:06 am

sprite

*hugssssss rose* Hello my darling, great to see you. Is the heat abating a bit by now?

1:06 am

grannyrose

*grin*

1:06 am

Kamanjah

Rather bumpy day, but we both got lots and lots of chores done. He cooked dinner! Yay him!

1:06 am

sprite

yes Rainiqui, jilli - Jillibus

1:07 am

flosey

I wouldn't have thought of Jill as being that age!!!

1:07 am

Rainiqui

Jill told me on Jigidi that she rarely goes on Babble any more

1:07 am

sprite

wow Kam! He must be feeling a bit better to be doing that. Yay for you both!

1:08 am

sprite

her profiles says she is 90 now. Though at heart she can't be a day over 40

1:08 am

grannyrose

still hot as before. i feel totally drained.

1:08 am

flosey

isn't it nice Kam!! Hubby has, more or less, taken over kitchen duties since I was advised to avoid bending over counters, sinks, etc

1:08 am

Kamanjah

He got caught up on the meds at least, so I'm sure he's feeling lots better. He mowed a good portion of the acre today, and I know he enjoys being outdoors. It was a chilly day, so no overheating while working either.

1:09 am

sprite

poor Rose. That kind of heat is so debilitating. And then all that red tape to boot, not a good combination. You are not to go out for any shopping for our sake, ya hear?!

1:09 am

grannyrose

*lalalalalalalalalalalalala*

1:09 am

Kamanjah

Yes, Flosey, it's wonderful when husbands can cook - and do so!

1:09 am

flosey

now Rose, you must listen to common sense

1:09 am

sprite

very good, Kam. So great to see he is able to be a bit more active again. A much healthier feeling too, I bet, which will help even more with recuperating.

1:10 am

Rainiqui

hies

1:10 am

Kamanjah

Rose, we need to equalize weather between the northern and southern hemispheres! You're too hot, we're too cold right now. Six months from now...well...

1:10 am

sprite

*pulls rose's fingers out of her ears and repeats: NO SHOPPING on our behalf, stay indoors and as cool as you can*

1:10 am

flosey

hi there Rainiqui

1:10 am

Rainiqui

Hi Flosey !

1:11 am

Rainiqui

oh - I get it now, LOL LOL LOL

1:11 am

Kamanjah

Poor guy has another doc appt on Weds, and I know he's worrying about it. Sigh, I wish I could make it easier, but I can only do so much, the rest is him and the docs

1:11 am

grannyrose

*raspberries* talk to the hand, 'cos the head ain't listening... loll

1:12 am

sprite

you are there for him all the way, Kam, that is all he needs, I am certain of it

1:13 am

sprite

*sigh* headstrong rose... there we go again... needs another spanking...

1:13 am

grannyrose

hah !! you caaaan't catch me....

1:13 am

sprite

too true. But I'll be waiting when you return.

1:14 am

Kamanjah

Don't be stubborn, Rose, lol!
Yes, Sprite, I'm holding him up as best I can - he knows I'm there for him 100%

1:14 am

sprite

total waste of a perfectly good X there

1:14 am

grannyrose

*blinks innocently* and just where would that be, dear friend?

1:14 am

flosey

just finished my tea, think I'll crawl into bed and get a good night's sleep - much needed

1:15 am

flosey

good night all

1:15 am

grannyrose

sweetest of dreams dear flosey. xoxox darling.

1:15 am

sprite

Kam, that is priceless. Please do not worry about not doing enough. You hold him up, and he feels bolstered to handle the treatment.

1:15 am

Kamanjah

Sleep well, Flosey.

1:15 am

Rainiqui

Good night Flosey

1:15 am

sprite

sleep well, flosey, and dream of nekkid beautiful men and great hands in bridge.

1:16 am

Rainiqui

hmmmm rose... where you expect it least!

1:17 am

sprite

redneck babblet and hairy-nosed dolphin babblet alerts

1:18 am

Kamanjah

already had the dolphin, thanks for the redneck, lol - that one always makes me laugh!

1:19 am

sprite

me too :D

1:19 am

sprite

did you find the babble idiom list at the bottom of my profile, Rainiqui? And of course our very own babble dictionary, with words that should be words but are not (yet)

1:20 am

Rainiqui

yes thanks

1:20 am

sprite

awesome

1:22 am

grannyrose

have a program on, Countdown, it is from the 70's and 80's. full of music, songs, performers which i matured to. what is strangest.... the clothing.... it's all the fashion again... lolll

1:23 am

sprite

fashion returns with about 20-year's leaps

1:25 am

Kamanjah

There are just some styles I can't even think about wearing again, mostly 60s. I just feel too old now, lol! I tried a couple of old things I had left from the early 80s and felt silly. I just hope shoulder pads don't make a comeback.

1:25 am

grannyrose

watch it, sprite. very thin ice under your feet... rofloll

1:25 am

sprite

ughhh I hear ya. Those are UG LY!

1:26 am

sprite

I have never looked at fashion, tbh. I wear what I like to wear, which is out of fashion most of the time, I guess.

1:26 am

sprite

of course, rose, you have seen MANY more of those leaps than I have... *ducks under table*

1:26 am

Kamanjah

and not comfy! I used to cut them out, then the clothes had too much shoulder fabric left and looked worse.

1:27 am

grannyrose

and the looser the better. i simply cannot bear anything tight. never have, since about 6 years old

1:27 am

grannyrose

oooohhh, there's ducks under the table. do bring me one with orange sauce.

1:28 am

sprite

yeah, can't cut out the pads from most of those clothes, they are build around them.
I like loose clothes too, a flowing, swirling style

1:28 am

grannyrose

that goes with the sangria sprite...

1:28 am

sprite

*puts orange on mouth and plays sitting duck*

1:28 am

Kamanjah

I did try to dress nicely when I worked. I still do if we're going somewhere. I got hooked on leggings last year - they are the most comfy things ever, and since I managed to loose a lot of weight over the past few years, I can get away with wearing them. Hubby really likes them, as long as I have a tunic top.

1:28 am

sprite

I thought I was marinated in sangria

1:29 am

grannyrose

ROFLOLLLL sprite

1:29 am

Kamanjah

I've been enjoying a baggy saggy top and sweats the past couple of days, so comfy!!!

1:29 am

sprite

oh yes, love leggings! Cannot wear them yet, but my weight is going down now that I do no longer have binges. So will be able to again some time this year. Leggings with loose, long tops... such a pleasure to wear and so pretty to look at

1:30 am

grannyrose

i saw a female personage in leggings the other day. made me think of two puppies under a blanket... loll

1:30 am

grannyrose

everything rolled and bobbed.

1:31 am

sprite

ohhhh yeah... too short a top, that lady. I like them kneelength myself. narrow at the tits and wide at the hem

1:32 am

sprite

in OA (and AA) they say: Get up. Dress up. Show up. Which is what I am doing today, lol. Though the dressing up part is not that big, just a necklace to go with my baggy pants and cute top

1:32 am

Kamanjah

I hate the light colors - especially the ones that look like skin - those are bad!

1:33 am

sprite

indeed. Why wear leggings when they make you look like you forgot to put on legwear?

1:33 am

Rainiqui

Have to run - good night all !

1:34 am

sprite

sleep well, Rainiqui!

1:34 am

grannyrose

see ya raini

1:34 am

Kamanjah

Night, Rainiqui! Sleep well.

1:34 am

sprite

or have a good day... not sure about your time

1:34 am

Rainiqui

Merci mes amies

1:34 am

grannyrose

kam, ask what my wardrobe is like. sometimes you need sunglasses.... at night

1:35 am

sprite

mine is basically black, with some bright colours here and there, and lots and lots of autumn colours. That is what I like and that is what looks good on me.

1:36 am

grannyrose

yes, but you have that gorgeous skin colour which goes with just about any colour.

1:36 am

sprite

awww what a lovely compliment! Thanks, darling.

1:36 am

Kamanjah

I wear mostly jewel tones, but I have some crazy leggings - worn with demure tops

1:38 am

sprite

oh, talking about crazy... one of my secret sins is that I really love crazy socks. The crazier the better. Whenever someone asks me what to bring me from their holidays, I say, find me the craziest local socks.

1:38 am

Kamanjah

I love crazy socks! I just got some elephant ones. My doctor had on flamingo socks last time I saw him, lol!

1:38 am

grannyrose

what size, sprite?

1:39 am

sprite

oh priceless, Kam!

1:39 am

sprite

38 or 40, rose :)

1:39 am

grannyrose

hmmmm, *secret smile*

1:40 am

sprite

I just got long ones that look like I have ostrich legs. They are really too crazy, and I am gonna wear them anyway!

1:40 am

grannyrose

and no wool right?

1:40 am

Kamanjah

That's obviously a European size, lol! Sounds more like a bust measurement...

1:40 am

sprite

ah, the funny ga mineral is back

1:41 am

sprite

no wool. Cannot wear wool in any way, alas

1:41 am

sprite

yes it is, Kam, lol. Very different, our sizing tables. Let me see...

1:41 am

Kamanjah

That would be a ladies medium here...

1:42 am

sprite

it is about 6.5 UK and 7 US

1:42 am

Kamanjah

fits shoe sizes 7-10 usually, but I don't remember the European size conversions now

1:43 am

sprite

that is around european size 40

1:44 am

Kamanjah

The last sandals I bought I paid to have shipped here from Australia! The last two pair I could find in the world - I LOVE Earth Kalso shoes with the negative heel. I broke the pair I had, and they were the most comfy sandals ever - one pair is still almost new, so I'll have them for at least 2 more summers.

1:45 am

sprite

that bites so bad, when you find something just perfect for you and they go out of production :(

1:45 am

grannyrose

kam, you have my email addy. anything i can find for you, let me know.

1:46 am

Kamanjah

I guess I'm used to socks that stretch? I usually wear merino wool, and I know you said you don't like wool. I'm having trouble finding thick hiking type socks this year for some reason. I've almost worn holes in my favorite pair.

1:47 am

sprite

yeah, I usually wear one-size socks too.

1:47 am

Kamanjah

Thanks, Rose! Do you know any stores that carry the negative heel Earth shoe? The company went off on new styles with heels, and I have one big toe joint that's fused, and the other is a replaced joint - I like my weight on my heels, not my toes!

1:47 am

sprite

I often wear funny socks over my elastic ones, lol

1:47 am

grannyrose

kam, try and log into katmandu site. see if you can find them.

1:47 am

sprite

sidenote: nice to have pe5 and hu7 together

1:48 am

sprite

I used the X, I used the X!

1:50 am

grannyrose

whoot for you sprite.

1:50 am

sprite

and fireflies. Last word ar7/40, rhyming with the ti5 feline.

1:51 am

sprite

got to go, time for the meeting. *hugs* to you both. Sleep well, dream naughty dreams and have a terrific day tomorrow. Rose, you stay cool and indoors, okay? Careful with yourself in that heat.

1:51 am

Kamanjah

yay Sprite!

1:51 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE !! what a woman.... AND she's my friend

1:51 am

sprite

we are friends and will always be, rose. You're da sistah of my soul, ya know :)

1:52 am

Kamanjah

Have a lovely day!

1:52 am

grannyrose

*grins smugly* yeah world. what do think of that? huh ?

Good morning all xx

2:26 am

grannyrose

wow !!! worzel !!! HUGS AND KISSES.... Happy New Year dear man

2:27 am

worzel

Happy New Year to you too mum - I trust you are resting properly? xxxx

2:27 am

grannyrose

and hugs and kisses for our beloved, bless her.

2:27 am

worzel

sept

2:27 am

worzel

oh bugger sorry!!

2:28 am

worzel

Our beloved is still in bed - she was up til nearly 4am playing Facebook games lol xx

2:28 am

grannyrose

i wouldn't dare not rest. my youngest son turned 32 last week. waaahhh. i'm not old enough for a 32 year-old child.

2:29 am

grannyrose

good lord, worzel. what a naughty girl. didn't she know you needed her beside you?

2:29 am

grannyrose

or under, or over... omg...did that come out aloud??

2:30 am

worzel

It's frightening, isn't it, where time goes? I stopped the other day and realised that in just a few weeks I'll be 47. I'm sure it was just a few weeks ago I was 20. And yes she should have been beside me lol. Ooo mum, you are rude!!! xx

2:34 am

grannyrose

all good here with the old ticker, thank heavens. and dad is doing well too. we are steadily working our way through government paperwork for my aged paension, and a card which gives me lower rates for doctor and pharmacy. also we have renewed our passports. nextthing to tackle... our wills

2:37 am

worzel

I'm kind of glad that we have our health service here - I dread to think how much it would cost if I needed another major operation. As for wills I had to have one when I got a mortgage at the age of 29. I only wish I had a big pile of money for it to be worth having haha, then I could leave it all to the Dog's Trust charity

2:38 am

grannyrose

you had better not. i think diane deserves it more.

2:38 am

worzel

Well no, obviously I would give half to Diane and half to the doggies

2:38 am

worzel

And she'd be damned annoyed if I did give it to her anyway haha she keeps telling me that

2:39 am

grannyrose

WORZEL !!! do i have to come over there and spank your bum?

2:39 am

worzel

oooo is that a promise? haha

2:39 am

grannyrose

ummmm, female psychology....leave it all to her... loll

2:40 am

grannyrose

yes, and i might even use a feather, not the whole chook.

2:41 am

worzel

Honestly - she said if I dare to die and leave all my money to her she'd kill me again, then give it all to the Dog's Trust! We're both massive animal lovers so I think I can trust her on her wishes - don't worry though, I'd definitely make sure she was well catered for x

2:44 am

grannyrose

good for you mate

2:45 am

grannyrose

nearly dinner time. hopefully see you next flip. xoxox

2:46 am

worzel

OK mum you take care and I promise to be on here more often from now on. Say hi to Dad for me and you both take care xx

How are you today, Ruby?

8:05 am

Morning, scrabs and ruby

8:05 am

Scrabbler

Bea, how are you?

8:06 am

rubyfoo

hello bzzz

8:06 am

BzznBea

I'm good. Hope you are as well.

8:06 am

Scrabbler

On vacation with youngest sister visiting from NJ since Thursday. She departs tomorrow morning.

8:07 am

rubyfoo

How was the snowshoeing?

8:07 am

BzznBea

What have you two been doing?

8:08 am

rastapopolous

morning all, that 45 just jumps out doesn't it lol

8:08 am

Scrabbler

Lots of snowshoeing and Scrabble.

8:08 am

Scrabbler

Say hello to your mom, rasta.

8:08 am

BzznBea

We have three year ld grandson here for a few days. He is not adjusting well to mom and dad's separation.

8:08 am

rubyfoo

45?

8:09 am

Scrabbler

Separations and divorces are so traumatic for kids.

8:09 am

rastapopolous

Our 45th president, whose name shall not be spoken

8:09 am

rastapopolous

Will do, scrabs

8:10 am

BzznBea

Yes they are. They have been doing a week at dad's and a week at mom's. That is too long for him to be away from mom.

8:10 am

rubyfoo

Women were even marching in Europe!

8:10 am

Scrabbler

Poor little boy.

8:10 am

rastapopolous

I did week on/week off with my daughter, starting at 2 years. She is a very well adjusted adult

8:11 am

BzznBea

Did you start that right away following separation, rasta?

8:12 am

rastapopolous

I was happy her dad wanted her at all. He was a better parent this way because he had to engage when he had her. When we were together he left it all to me.

8:12 am

rastapopolous

Yes, we did.

8:13 am

rastapopolous

She was not at all confused about different sets of rules at mom's house vs dad's house, for instance.

8:13 am

BzznBea

I think part of the issue while staying with dad is they are at dad's mother's all the time and dad is not there. Grandparents run a restuarant and Ben is there all day and night.

8:15 am

BzznBea

Ben is my grandson.

8:15 am

rastapopolous

And as a single parent, it gave me breathing space - just when you were tearing your hair out, off she'd go to daddy's. I'd have a week to catch up on homework, housework, sleep, lol! Do a few grownup thing, and then when I was refreshed back she'd come.

8:17 am

rastapopolous

I did have the preschool teacher tell me that "we were the only joint custody they'd ever seen work" though. It does take putting the kid first. I never spoke a word against her dad - until she started noticing the stuff herself

8:18 am

BzznBea

I think it will just take time for him to adjust. When he is here, he has a regular schedule with naps and bedtime. He also eats meals. I think they forget to feed him at the other grandma's.

8:19 am

Scrabbler

I tell parents in these situations to never speak negatively about the other parent, and that the kids figure it all out someday. The evidence will be apparent.

8:20 am

rastapopolous

yes, exactly.

8:20 am

BzznBea

I agree that that is important, scrabs. My daughters get so mad at their dad for saying bad things about me and they are in their 30's. They just leave his house whan he starts.

8:20 am

rastapopolous

worked for us. The biggest problem was having to live close to one another. I gave up some career options to stay close.

8:25 am

Scrabbler

118 left. I need to get going--shopping for mom and then visiting her. Bye.

1:26 pm

moolingwa

maybe you're using an 8 and not the 9?

1:26 pm

both 9s ends with the gerund

1:26 pm

not a 9

1:27 pm

and it is not accepted

1:27 pm

you want the in9 root word

1:27 pm

cybernan

neither is the same word with a double n

1:27 pm

moolingwa

they're not related to that 8 at all

1:28 pm

no shirl -- I'm looking for the en 9

1:28 pm

they're related to a 7

1:28 pm

cybernan

there is no en 7

nope

1:28 pm

moolingwa

it's a 7 letter word, that does not start with en

1:28 pm

moolingwa
