2:03 am

grannyrose

no kn words, you guessed correctly

2:04 am

sprite

good. Thanks hun.

2:06 am

sprite

yay you for doing the rehab. Glad the pain has settled by now, I know it is no fun to do what you need and then be punished with pain. *hugs*
Ugh, the hothothot weather is no fun either. *cooling breeze from the netherlands, where it is freezing right now, bad enough to make your hands hurt*

2:06 am

grannyrose

lollll saw it on the news. even Rome has snow

2:08 am

sprite

yeah it is wintry here. All good, it is as it should be, but ughhhh it is cold! And to think that we have planned a canoe and camping trip next weekend. In Germany. It is gonna be colllllld! Layers, layers, layers... and a friend of ours has made us a heating device, and other friends are bringing a heater that we can keep :)

2:08 am

grannyrose

and the priests in Rome were out in St Peter's Square, having snowball fights

2:08 am

sprite

awesome :D Good priests, then.

2:09 am

grannyrose

so heaping coals on your heads would be welcome? loll

2:09 am

sprite

yes please :D

2:09 am

jwr

YaY rose!

2:10 am

sprite

hiya jwr :) *hug*

2:10 am

sprite

ks killed. Finally. Total K blindness struck here.

2:13 am

jwr

ummm, that was warm. thanks. I have fleece arm-warmers and fingertip-less gloves and and throws around shoulders and knees and a scarf -- I look like the Bird-feeding Woman in Mary Poppins

2:13 am

grannyrose

good for you sprite. * clapping vigorously, rah ! rah ! *

2:13 am

sprite

tuppence a bag! Lol, same here, jwr, all wrapped up

2:13 am

sprite

:P @ rose!

2:13 am

grannyrose

jwr, here's tuppence for you

2:13 am

sprite

snap, rose!

2:14 am

jwr

k's? What k's? I don' see no stinkin' k's.

2:14 am

jwr

Oops, wrong movie.

2:14 am

grannyrose

*splutter* SPRITE !! just stop writing what i am thinking please... lol

2:14 am

sprite

amen, jwr. No ks. Let's erase them from our language.

2:15 am

sprite

now why would I do that, rose? I love sharing your brainwaves :P

2:15 am

grannyrose

no jwr, you were correct. it was Mary Poppins.

2:15 am

jwr

Thanks for the money, you two (and you are both on the same wave-length, you know!) but feeding the birds is against the law here.

2:16 am

sprite

stupid law. Let's be anarchists. Tuppence a bag... oh lookielook, I dropped a bag! Sorry, officer, it was out of my hands... literally.

2:16 am

jwr

these three-person chats do get wildly interwoven

2:16 am

grannyrose

lolll, you noticed jwr.

2:16 am

sprite

we babblers are flexible like that, we are

2:17 am

grannyrose

yeah, i've got my ankles around my ears, in lieu of a scarf...

2:17 am

grannyrose

or ear-muffs...

2:18 am

sprite

good grief, woman, you KNOW you will hurt from that later... put those feet down.

2:18 am

jwr

It's not that I'm not a birdlover in general but they do tend to target me. The last time I got pigeon-goop in my hair it took three washings to get it oout.

2:18 am

grannyrose

*giggle* waves her pinkies at sprite. envy is such a burden..

2:19 am

sprite

pigeons are no birds. They are rats with wings.

2:19 am

jwr

granny - after that remark, you can no longer plead joint pain'

2:19 am

Kamanjah

We just need to even the weather out, too hot and too cold both suck, how's about we all just have perfect weather? And no contortions ;)

2:19 am

sprite

see, jwr says so too :D

2:19 am

grannyrose

awwwww, jwr.... please....

2:19 am

sprite

hiya Kam! *hugs* How are you and your beloved today?

2:19 am

Kamanjah

We call pigeons 'sky rats'

2:20 am

grannyrose

hey ya kam

2:20 am

jwr

ooh, glad you said that sprite. I live in chinatown, though, and all the elderly men spend their days playing mah jongg or feeding the pidges.

2:20 am

Kamanjah

Hiya!! Figured I'd make it a foursome

2:20 am

sprite

I couldn't agree more, Kam. They are filthy. And omg that sound they make... irritating like nails over a blackboard

2:20 am

Kamanjah

We pooped - all day Fri and today at the university clinic

2:20 am

sprite

mah jonng is a lot better then.

2:21 am

Kamanjah

We ARE

2:21 am

sprite

wow Kam... that is taxing. *gentle relaxing vibes to the both of you*

2:21 am

jwr

don't know, sprite - never had a mah jong game dropped on my head

2:21 am

sprite

I love playing mah jonng. Not with chinese old geezers though. They play so fast and smart!

2:22 am

jwr

and the play SERIOUSLY

2:22 am

Kamanjah

He is finished with all the testing and preliminary stuff - next appt he finds out if he is accepted for the surgery. Fingers crossed

2:22 am

sprite

hmz, you have a point there, jwr. It would depend if it dropped in its entirety or in parts, maybe.

2:22 am

sprite

oh yes, very seriously! As we say here, they play with the knife on the table.

2:22 am

grannyrose

oh, you lot must not have the wood pigeons we have. their cooing is so lovely to hear.... except when they become over enthusiastic...the Don, yells out... hey get a room you two...

2:23 am

sprite

ugh Kam, that is stressful! *prayers upwards that he may please be accepted*

2:23 am

sprite

lol @ Don, silly man. Love him.

2:23 am

sprite

when will next appt be, Kam?

2:24 am

grannyrose

poor kam and her DH. so much stress, pysical and emotional. prayers for peace and comfort, kam

2:24 am

Kamanjah

Thanks, Sprite.
Rose, do you guys call the mourning doves wood pigeons? The doves are the ones who coo around here - luckily the pigeons aren't up at our altitude...yet.

2:25 am

grannyrose

oh, could be kam. yeah that describes their cooing well.

2:25 am

Kamanjah

Thanks, Rose.
Next appt is the 23rd of March. I don't know why we have to drive all the way up there to find out, but that's how they do it.

2:25 am

jwr

.... I'd rather have it all at once, thank you. The idea of all those tiles hitting my head one by one by one. By the way, I did slip into another movie, rose. It's an American classic but may not have been popular outside (or anymore, it's an oldie)"Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!" is from a 1948 film The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

2:26 am

sprite

no, I don't know that movie

2:26 am

Kamanjah

DH quotes that one often

2:26 am

Kamanjah

He's an old movie buff, and used to wear a badge, therefore...

2:26 am

grannyrose

isit a bogart film kam?

2:26 am

jwr

People play with that line a lot -- my favorite substitute is "badgers"

2:27 am

jwr

is Bogie, yes

2:27 am

sprite

oh that reminds me, I need to see if Down To Earth is on netflix

2:28 am

sprite

nope :(

2:28 am

Kamanjah

He's the movie buff...I fall asleep most of the time. These days, he takes his grandson to the theater - it's a waste to pay for me to nap

2:28 am

grannyrose

*sigh* wouldn't you know it? himself has a copy of that film, Kam. and now i am suffering through his idea of a synopsis of it.

2:29 am

jwr

Signing off, lovely people -- I'm being pulled into too many directions -- not a complaint, it's all delightful but I'd better see if I can make my goal on the grid (yuck! sounds like American football) and get back to the mystery I'm reading.

2:30 am

grannyrose

loll, jwr. np's honey. you gooo

2:30 am

Kamanjah

I just don't care for old movies. I grew up without a TV in the house. Folks finally got one when I was in high school, but I was too busy with band and orchestra to watch much

2:30 am

Kamanjah

Enjoy the grid, jwr, and then enjoy your mystery!

2:30 am

sprite

*hugs jwr* It was lovely to see you!

2:31 am

jwr

gosh, I'm so glad I can understand your language, rose! gooo y-self. Later alligator.

2:31 am

jwr

huuuuuggggs

2:32 am

grannyrose

kam, ditto here. i was flat out with ballet, piano lessons, pennant tennis....and then there was school. i was in my final years of secondary, studying 10 subjects plus the afore said.

2:33 am

grannyrose

and my mother couldn't work out why i failed in my school exams...loll

2:33 am

sprite

lol

2:34 am

worzel

Good morning fellow Babblers xx

2:34 am

Kamanjah

I did pretty well with my grades too. Just glad I was the oldest of 2 - my younger brother was a straight A student his entire life

2:34 am

sprite

morning worzel

2:34 am

worzel

Morning Sprite

2:35 am

Kamanjah

Well, it is 34 minutes into the morning here, so yes, good morning!

2:35 am

grannyrose

ahhhhhh......whoot whoot...... goooooood morning yourself, you sneaky little .... where have you been ??

2:35 am

worzel

I've been getting up too late to talk to you Mum! How the devil are you? xx

2:36 am

grannyrose

still alive... doing cardiac rehab atm. interesting experience. one hour of gym, then a lecture...

2:37 am

worzel

And I should imagine the lecture is more painful than the gym, am I right?

2:37 am

grannyrose

and you and the gorgeous Diane?

2:37 am

grannyrose

yup....

2:37 am

worzel

Me and the absolutely delightful Di are pretty good thank you. How's Dad? I hope he's looking after you sufficiently

2:38 am

grannyrose

i could've written the book on the subjects they are lecturing us on.

2:39 am

sprite

feel free to tell them you already know and can spend your time better, rose.

2:39 am

grannyrose

Dad is Dad. i keep a close eye on him, mate. he tends to over do it sometimes.

2:39 am

grannyrose

lolll sprite... i think they are beginning to realise that.

2:40 am

worzel

Yes, healthcare "professionals" are all very well but they have only done the theory lol, not the "practical" - they've never been through it. Also, tell Dad that he, too, has to take it easy - as long as he takes care of you haha

2:40 am

sprite

:D

2:45 am

grannyrose

so, dear worzel, are you and Diane both feeling better, and continue to improve?

2:47 am

worzel

Mentally I'm in a good place at the moment - physically not great but nothing serious. Di has been having some very down moments lately but she's worried about her health too and that isn't helping. Some terrible nightmares she's having too - at least she's got her physical health !!

2:49 am

sprite

brb, need some breakfast

2:49 am

worzel

Have a rasher of bacon for me sprite

2:50 am

grannyrose

okay, mate. putting you two in my prayer list. i know you don't believe, but i believe enough for all of us.

2:52 am

worzel

Aha - you know me so well! I remember as a teenager going to see Billy Graham do one of his shows to about 30,000 people at a stadium over here. Let's be honest if Billy himself couldn't convert me nobody can xx

2:52 am

sprite

back with goodies

2:53 am

worzel

Welcome back sprite - pass the bacon!!

2:53 am

sprite

no bacon, alas... simply yoghurt and muesli

2:54 am

worzel

Oh I don't mind a bit of muesli now and again - as long as it's Alpen

2:54 am

grannyrose

you could at least add a bit of fruit, either fresh or dried.

2:54 am

sprite

there is dried fruit in the muesli.

2:55 am

worzel

haha i misunderstood that mum - took that to mean adding fruit to a bacon sandwich lol

2:56 am

grannyrose

ugh, no mate. a bacon sarnie is a bacon sarnie. nothing added... loll

2:57 am

worzel

bit of tomato sauce, maybe a fried egg - ooooo stop it, making me hungry!!

2:57 am

sprite

it's either yoghurt with muesli for me, or 2 apples with yoghurt and specialK flakes.

2:57 am

worzel

Why doesn't bacon taste as nice as it did when I was younger? Mind you, very little does, alas

3:00 am

grannyrose

cos you need to find a country butcher who smokes his own bacon...no.... no rollies *sigh*

3:01 am

grannyrose

good grief.... you have to be a step ahead of kids these days...

3:02 am

worzel

The sad thing is, over here in the UK, due to the supermarkets there are so few butchers around now. I recall as a child a butcher out in the countryside where I lived who had his own smoke house, his own animals from his farm. The bacon was so nice.

3:02 am

sprite

I think you always had to be one step ahead of them

3:02 am

worzel

Have to pop off for a minute need a coffee to wake myself up!

3:04 am

jwr

sprite/rose just pooped back in to say g'night. Well, an hour into the morn but who's counting? Saw the word "bacon" and it reminded me to ask: Where's Crossy?

3:04 am

sprite

lol, yes, crossy loves his bacon.
Night night, jwr, sweet dreams. *hugs*

3:04 am

jwr

but but but where IS he?

3:05 am

jwr

I haven't seen him in a year, I think.

3:05 am

sprite

on a little later in the day, I think

3:06 am

jwr

oh, for heaven's sake - though he'd just disappeared. My silly. Glad. Say hi for me if you see him, please.

3:06 am

grannyrose

dinner nearly ready. hugs and kisses to all. sprite, try and take it slow, honey.

3:07 am

sprite

will do, jwr! *hugs again*

3:08 am

sprite

rose, my dear friend, *hugs* and enjoy your dinner. Love to Don too. And healing vibes to your ole body ;)

3:10 am

worzel

Bye mum! Hope i haven't missed you xx

3:13 am

sprite

fireflies. Bye all, have a blessed day and a peaceful night

4:51 am

zoozzoom

Okay first run through and I still need 92 words. Back later. Happy babbling everyone!

5:14 am

rubyfoo

Good morning. theyve named this "cold snap" the Beast from the East, the coldest EVEFR in many places

5:23 am

MollyL

Did that guy fix your flooring heat? If so, perfect timing.

5:30 am

rubyfoo

l can't tell yet; perhaps it takes a while. l don't care, after seeing the dentist, yesterday, this is te first day without pain in the mouth

5:31 am

rubyfoo

lark

5:32 am

rubyfoo

sorry, the phone rang

5:34 am

rubyfoo

<-- can't multi-task

6:22 am

Sam Snead

"frack" not in dictionary yet?

6:31 am

Mubner

neither is frick, can you believe it?

6:31 am

rubyfoo

both of those should be in here

6:41 am

rubyfoo

lt is so cold in the house that you can see your breath in the kitchen

6:42 am

Mubner

ruby, did you lose your fire?

6:42 am

jwr

trivia: Frick and Frack is for any two people who are closely linked in some way, especially through a work partnership or strong friendship. The origin is from a famous partnership of Swiss comedy ice skaters

6:45 am

rubyfoo

The fire is burning, the little space heater is on, l'm wrapped in shawls, sweatters and blankets

6:45 am

rubyfoo

lt's horrible!

6:48 am

rubyfoo

The good news is that when it's this cold in the house, all the germs die!

6:49 am

Mubner

Reminds me of living on the homestead in Alaska with only a wood stove, the only warm place was right next to the stove. Brrr

6:51 am

rubyfoo

Thank you for makibng me remeber a fly-fishing trip in went on in Bristol Bay in around '93

6:53 am

rubyfoo

lt was even cold in August!

6:53 am

Mubner

Did you catch any fish?

6:54 am

rubyfoo

The best fish was a Rainbow on a fluffy bunny fly! We took pictures, gave it a pat and released it

6:54 am

rubyfoo

Otherwise l thibnk l was catching chaar for lunch

6:54 am

Mubner

Nice.

6:55 am

rubyfoo

Pe** experience!

6:55 am

rubyfoo

UUp to then, l had only done deep-sea fishing off Floridaa

6:55 am

Mubner

The first year we were in Alaska we discovered the king salmon. We had never seen such a huge fish, my oldest brother got his gun and shot it.

6:56 am

rubyfoo

hahah

6:56 am

rubyfoo

How big?

6:57 am

Mubner

We had no scale, estimate between 20-25 lbs. Later we learned to fashion a gaff hook and it saved on ammo

6:57 am

rubyfoo

l mostly caught mackerel in FL, but one time, one was so big that they had to strap me into a chair so l wouldn't be pulled overboard

6:57 am

Mubner

Not a that big of a fish, but we were from upstate New York and hadn't even seen anything like it

6:58 am

rubyfoo

l live in view of a beautiful lake, but only went fishing in France once and it was ridiculous

6:58 am

Mubner

Sounds like halibut fishing, the biggest I even caught was around 40 lbs, but it felt like 100 lbs trying to get it aboard

6:59 am

rubyfoo

Where upstate? l lived in Binghamton foir a long time

6:59 am

Mubner

Just north of Lake George

6:59 am

rubyfoo

Never fished in th Susquehanna, either

7:00 am

rubyfoo

When l was a kid, we used to spend summers at Trout Lake

7:00 am

rubyfoo

above Bolton Landing

7:00 am

rubyfoo

l'm old, so it's nice that l am remembering these things.

7:00 am

Mubner

Bolton Landing was near us, I was born in a little farmhouse at the Glen

7:01 am

Mubner

learned how to swim in the Hudson River

7:02 am

rubyfoo

l always wanted to live in France, but l never thought about getting older and being cold!

7:04 am

Mubner

I would struggle with that as well, because I grew up "cold" it was just normal, after living in Arizona my blood got thinned out and I get really cold now

7:04 am

rubyfoo

Maybe living in Florida did that to me

7:05 am

rubyfoo

it's beautiful here, though, if you send me an e-mail, l can send some pix

7:05 am

rubyfoo

nelliekelley50@yahoo.com

7:06 am

Mubner

mine is jacjkc@msn.com

7:08 am

rubyfoo

ty, l know how annoying for others if we monopolize the chat!

7:10 am

Mubner

True, but nevertheless interesting, I sent you an email.

7:10 am

rubyfoo

see you soon

7:34 am
