Hi Sprite! How are you?!

ti7/28 is a synthetic mineral, used as a gem.
ti7/32 is of or containing a metallic element (-ium), especially in the tetravalent state.
12:52 am
sprite
hiya Kam :) I am okay. Been a bit too busy and am paying the price, but I'll be fine in two more days. How are you and your beloved?
12:54 am
Kamanjah
I hear ya about too busy. My honey took his dad to see dad's lady friend, and now they're with other friends...coming home soon. He'll let me know tomorrow. His dad is fading and wants to see his friends one last time...they're both sweethearts. I've never seen a son and father so close - especially two super stubborn men!
12:55 am
sprite
wow, that sounds so special, Kam. Pretty taxing, but worth it, right?
12:56 am
Kamanjah
I'm hating it, his cats are hating it, and even my dog sat in the driveway all day waiting for "dad to come home." I'm just glad hubs is there for his dad.
12:57 am
sprite
not fun to have to miss him. But yeah, great to see how he is there for his dad and making his wishes come true.
12:58 am
Kamanjah
And I'm tired of cats in my face and on my keyboard, lol! I love 'em, but not on the desk. Can't wait for a hug when he gets home!! But I KNOW I have one LOYAL man <3
12:58 am
sprite
:) Yay for loyal men. Worth their weight in gold.
12:58 am
Kamanjah

{{sprite}} {{kam}} hugs and kisses. thom's place today was nearly a disaster. i cooked up a pot of chicken and corn soup as the tarter to our chinese meal. when i came to pulling the chicken part one it was cooked, it so smelled off i had to chuck it all out. mwah !!
1:06 am
grannyrose
*starter*
1:07 am
sprite
aw darling, how frustrating. *hugs* and it is great to see you. How have you been the last few days?
1:07 am
grannyrose
*apart* *once*
1:09 am
grannyrose
still a little stiff and sore from rehab. settling today. and you honey ? today a rest day i hope. and kam, men, you can't live with them, you can't live without them
1:11 am
grannyrose
as often as i wish DH would just please BE QUIET, i miss him when he's not. perhaps because he's not here making a noise.... loll
1:11 am
sprite
you are a hero. Did Don go with you into the pool as he'd said? A bit of exercise will be good for him too.
I am okay. Hips and lower back are killing me, have trouble sleeping because of it. But otherwise not too bad here. Another good session with Noud.
1:12 am
sprite
lol yeah, isn't that often how it goes? The things that bug us are also the things that make them dear to us.
1:13 am
Kamanjah
I live quite well with him around, rose! I'm spoiled. He's been gone since Sunday (it's Thurs nite here) and I want him back.
1:14 am
grannyrose
no pool. not allowed to get in the water yet. so exercised sitting down in the gym. very gentle with only half a kilo.
1:14 am
sprite
ah okay, still early stages of course. You rock, honey.
1:16 am
Kamanjah
It's good you're doing what exercise you can, that's good...and brave!
1:18 am
sprite
when will he be back, Kam?
1:19 am
Kamanjah
Hopefully on Sunday. Was supposed to be Sat, but I think dad wanted to stay an extra day where they are now - more old friends he misses. Poor hubby, he wants to come home, but this is kinda dad's last hurrah...sad, but he's 92 and fading.
1:20 am
Kamanjah
So, let him have fun. He's lucky to have a son who loves him - and I'm lucky to have such a dedicated man, so no complaints.
1:21 am
sprite
it is a beautiful thing he is doing for his dad. Quite a gift from the both of you.
1:21 am
grannyrose
it's lovely what DH is doing. tough on you, but could you have gone with them, or was this also to be a 'boys' time together.
1:22 am
Kamanjah
You're right, it is. Dad knows it's hard on me. We just can't afford the boarding of all of the animals - 3 cats don't crate up well!
1:22 am
sprite
and you have us to keep you company :)
1:23 am
grannyrose
lolll... one of don's favourite sayings.... like herding cats
1:23 am
Kamanjah
I could have gone, but the animals just don't do well in a kennel.
1:25 am
Kamanjah
Cats don't herd, lol! They have minds of their own. I put food out this morning to last them all day, but one likes to hear the food go in the bowl...6 times a day! So he came and fussed at me in the garage while I was trying to do laundry. I went inside and shook the food around, and he was happy. Cats!
1:28 am
sprite
I think that is what that expression means, lol. Like herding cats... something impossible to accomplish.
1:29 am
Kamanjah
Exactly! I just hadn't "herd" the expression before
1:30 am
grannyrose
oh hahaha kam
1:30 am
sprite
lol... good one... where is ru, he'd like that pun
1:35 am
sprite
ru is not online... otherwise he'd be thinking up a good pun to come into chat with :) 'How are you, ru?' 'I am feline good!'
1:35 am
Kamanjah
That's Ru!

A person who loves words is a logophile. There is no word for a person who always looks up words, so here is a made up one. Dictionarian. And by the way, the weirdo Enable word list does not recognize logophile.

In other humorous news: Turned on TV last night to watch some of the Olympics. Only figure skating was on (yuck). So, I went into the laundry room to fold some sheets. When I came out, my boy cat was furiously swatting at the figure skater on the screen.
8:43 am

that cat sounds like a lutz

Cracked me up. I was torn whether to scold or praise him.
8:46 am

hi cyber
7:00 pm
cybernan
these words are ridiculous -- trying everything -- the only le 5/16 I know live in Toronto and play hocke
7:03 pm
MehNameIsHannah
well two of them are plural of the le4 above them, one is turn of a new le**, and the second one is lo** of bread
7:03 pm
MehNameIsHannah
oops i clued a lo
7:03 pm
cybernan
yes, but the plurals are ves
7:04 pm
MehNameIsHannah
there is only one le5/16
7:05 pm
MehNameIsHannah
and I clued it
7:05 pm
cybernan
yes the ones that I assume are supposed to be plurals are misspelled -- the correct spelling for those plurals end in ves not fs
7:06 pm
MehNameIsHannah
oh
7:06 pm
MehNameIsHannah
they won't allow pennys, but they allow le5/16??
7:07 pm
cybernan
the maple le 5 is a Toronto hockey team in the NHL
7:07 pm
MehNameIsHannah
ok
7:09 pm
cybernan
exactly, but then pennys is not a word either unless you are referring to Penney's
7:09 pm
MehNameIsHannah
true
7:11 pm
cybernan
and the sn 5/18 is an anacronym, not a word
7:11 pm
MehNameIsHannah
yep
7:11 pm
MehNameIsHannah
I have actually already got fireworks, I'm just here to give hints
7:12 pm

this is my bridge day, so I'm just finishing up from where I crashed last night. 21 to go

MehNameIsHannah
cool
7:13 pm
MehNameIsHannah
go go go
7:14 pm
jaxx7
The reason that the le4 and the lo4 allow s as a plural is because they are being treated as verbs
7:14 pm
MehNameIsHannah
ok
7:15 pm
cybernan
ah -- hadn't thought of htat jaxx -- don't use them as verbs very often, but a valid explanation
7:16 pm
MehNameIsHannah
agreed
7:17 pm

Personally I love to lo4
