Hi all. Not been here for a long time - thought I'd pop in and see what's happening :-D

1:02 am

sprite

good to hear. I just had a long shower in our very own bathroom. What a luxury after two months of bathroom repairs!

1:02 am

flosey

hi there Denny, welcome back

1:02 am

wb Denny

1:03 am

grannyrose

{{sprite}} hugs and kisses sweetie. g'day flosey. sitting here in front of the A/C AND a fan.

1:04 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Good girl. Too hot for action there. I sent off your package yesterday! Am excited as a little girl, lol.

1:06 am

grannyrose

*giggle* and i did a little more shopping from the comfort of my armchair....see?? didn't go out, hence obeying your command

1:06 am

sprite

:D that's the ticket. I do most of my shopping the same way.

1:06 am

grannyrose

aaarrgghhh, don has just black dubbined his leather jacket..... ON OUR BED !!!

1:07 am

sprite

oh good grief! Where has the man hidden his common sense??

1:07 am

flosey

ohhhhhhhhhhh, naughty!!!

1:08 am

grannyrose

well he was sitting down at the time so his brain may have been a tad squished... loll

1:09 am

grannyrose

*sigh* remember the tax return form, rose, remember the tax return form

1:09 am

sprite

my love and I are in a fight :(

1:10 am

grannyrose

oh dear sprite, and you have been doing so well.

1:11 am

sprite

yeah. Stupid guy :(
He couldn't walk from the pain in his knees. I said it was not smart to go kneel down in the bathroom with those knees. Things went downhill from there.

1:12 am

grannyrose

*palm to forehead* oh dear, i am keeping well out of this one.

1:12 am

Kamanjah

Oh, I'm sorry Sprite. They can take offense so easily if we don't say what they want to hear.

1:13 am

sprite

so very true :(
He got angry and said the bathroom had to be finished, and he also had to finish a canoe before our canoeing trip next month.
I said he wouldn't be doing a lot of canoeing if he didn't mind those poor knees. At that point he realised I was right, turned his back on me and went upstairs. *sigh* I am pissed as hell!

1:14 am

sprite

*hugs Kam* How are you and your beloved doing today?

1:15 am

Kamanjah

*Hugs* back! We're sore and tired from yard work, and tomorrow is another trip for more "testing." This is getting tiresome, but the sooner he gets an ok for surgery, the better for our future.

1:17 am

sprite

well done, both of you! I will think of you tomorrow. This round of testing is with meds, right? At least there is that?

1:18 am

Kamanjah

Yes! With meds, and he's pretty good tonight, who knows what tomorrow holds - he has a MRI after the testing. He says MRIs don't bother him, which is good - I'd be a mess, I get so claustrophobic! I finally learned that if I just don't open my eyes, I'm fine, but I still hate them.

1:19 am

Kamanjah

I hope your canoe gets finished! Can't go canoeing on a log too well...

1:19 am

sprite

I hear ya! Can't stand the darn things myself either. The combination of being locked in and those horrible loud sounds, it is a nightmare.

1:21 am

sprite

well, if my dear husband cannot walk from the pain in his knees, we will not even start out on the canoe trip. The problem is not that the stuff does NOT have to be finished, it does. But how he seems to think he is the only person on this planet who can possible do it. Not even allowing Tim and me to help think things through. The idiot.

1:22 am

sprite

(rant over now)

1:23 am

grannyrose

*peeks around PB door* is it safe to come out now?

1:23 am

flosey

feels good eh Sprite

1:23 am

sprite

tsk. Running off one of the very few times I am miffed :P

1:24 am

Kamanjah

Fireflies! Hang in Sprite - I've had days like yours...just a couple of days ago. It's my tone of voice when I'm annoyed that gets me in trouble, oh boy! He got so mad at me over something stupid, but came and apologized 10 minutes later. That's about how long our tiffs last, fortunately.

1:24 am

sprite

sure does, flosey :D

1:24 am

Kamanjah

Miffed at a tiff, eh? haha

1:24 am

grannyrose

i was watching, truly i was.

1:24 am

sprite

lol yes Kam

1:24 am

grannyrose

WTG KAM!!!

1:24 am

Kamanjah

Not laughing at you, just being silly

1:25 am

sprite

wtg Kam!!!!!!!!!

1:25 am

grannyrose

sprite did i ever send you a jar of Painaway cream? for joint pain? it's all natural.

1:25 am

sprite

hey, laughing is good. Well, usually our tiffs are short too. But not this one. I got so mad at his attitude, I stopped speaking to him, mostly.

1:26 am

sprite

no, have never heard of it, rose. Is it any good?

1:26 am

Kamanjah

I have to go to bed now. Early, long day tomorrow. Have a lovely day if it's morning, and for Flosey, I hope you sleep well. Hugs for Sprite to get over the miff, at least the rant felt good!

1:26 am

sprite

sleep well, Kam, and best of luck for tomorrow. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

1:26 am

Kamanjah

Thank you <3

1:27 am

grannyrose

9:42 am

Trifioso

jude is a lovely name

9:44 am

ch1212

I think so :). Sometimes people mistake the name for a girl; one time I mentioned my 'beloved', and the person asked carefully, "What's your beloved's name?" After I told her, she nodded and reassured me that she thought it was wonderful that same-sex couples could get legally married now. !

9:48 am

ch1212

We had a good laugh about it when I got home. So did one of my friends who is married to her wife.

11:02 am

bichon

ty nan

11:03 am

cybernan

I don't think global warming is going to cause our temperatures to rise so much as more extremes in our weather patterns and the rising of sea levels as the polar ice caps melt

11:03 am

cybernan

we are already seeing the extremes with droughts, floods and super storms

11:05 am

Wolvie

i agree nan- going to make changes in temp enough tho to change how and where food is grown. at least that is what the best models out there today show. frightening stuff

11:05 am

cybernan

any walls we build should be dykes around our coastal cities!

11:05 am

Shirlockc

amen to that cyber

11:07 am

Shirlockc

i wish we could do a national referendum on that stupid wall with how much it would cost per tax payer

11:08 am

Wolvie

would be nice Shirl. a physical wall just makes no sense. but nothing does at the moment. november and a chance to reclaim some sanity can't come soon enough for me

11:08 am

Wolvie

at any rate- i am off to the store- bb to finish later- have a good one all

11:08 am

12:44 pm

KnightTime

The US does not have federal no-confidence votes because it does not have a parliamentary democracy and does not have a prime minister. It is a representative republic with an electoral college to elect its president. The president can be removed via the impeachment and conviction process, voluntary resignation, or forced resignation under the 25th amendment. The government and constitution can be changed thru the amendment process or by a constitutional convention. These processes are slow on purpose so that changes are carefully considered instead of reactionary changes.

12:59 pm

Bethjt

Excellent synopsis Knight!

1:00 pm

KnightTime

So far after reading the Constitution countless time, I have not found anyplace where whining and wishing are effective ways of changing the government.
