Hi and hugs Sprite.

12:54 am

Kamanjah

*hugs* sprite! Hope all is going along well ;)

12:54 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* Hello dear one, how are you and your beloved today?

12:54 am

sprite

*hugs Kam* And the two of you, how are you doing?

12:55 am

sprite

I am good. Slept like a baby and feel a lot more human this morning, lol.

12:55 am

Lizlin

As ever, we're fine. Hope all's well with you. With you and your hubby too, Kam. Hope he's making good progress.

12:55 am

Kamanjah

Bizzy! He's working the polls tomorrow for our election. LONG day for him!

12:56 am

Kamanjah

Sleeping "like a baby" is so great! Glad you got good rest.

12:56 am

sprite

oh wow, interesting though! I hope he is having a good time while doing it.

12:58 am

Kamanjah

He really enjoys doing things that need volunteers, this year they asked him to be "inspector" (no clue really) but he has to be in charge of several people and take the ballots to the county after the polls close. He's gonna be wiped out, but he loves doing stuff like this

12:58 am

sprite

good to hear, Liz.

12:58 am

Lizlin

That's amazing, Kam. Good for him.

12:58 am

sprite

he may be wiped out, but it will also give him energy.

12:58 am

Kamanjah

Thanks, Liz!

12:59 am

Kamanjah

Oh yeah, it's good for him, gives him back his sense of "civil duty." He worked for the county until they ran him out b/c of his PD, yet he still volunteers

1:00 am

sprite

he must be a wonderful person, Kam.

1:01 am

Kamanjah

I think so! He has a huge heart

1:01 am

sprite

:D Those are the best guys. We are lucky, all four of us... rose and you and me

1:02 am

Lizlin

So true.

1:02 am

Kamanjah

I know I'm *extremely* lucky - this man is very special...7th anniversary coming up next week.

1:04 am

sprite

I realised once again how incredibly lucky I am, when I was at family constellations last week. Several people telling about not wanting to go home, because at home they constantly had to be alert and didn't feel safe or loved or even wanted. When I come home, there is a warm hug and kisses and someone who even makes me dinner...

1:04 am

sprite

yay Kam! Make sure you scratch eachother's 7-year-itch ;)

1:04 am

Kamanjah

Awww, that's sweet! I love having him cook!

1:04 am

Lizlin

That's lovely - and congrats for next week, Kam.

1:05 am

Lizlin

This year we've been together for 15 years and married for 10 - can't believe how fast time flies.

1:05 am

Kamanjah

Lol, oh yeah, Sprite. We've been together much longer, but married for 7

1:05 am

Kamanjah

I know, time does fly!

1:06 am

sprite

Rob and I have been married for almost 22 years now... together for 2 more.

1:06 am

sprite

amazing, isn't it, Liz? When you look back, it seems like nothing.

1:08 am

Lizlin

Completely amazing.

1:08 am

flosey

hi all, we're coming up to our 57th anniversary in August - It's been a wonderful marriage with 4 super kids and now I'm heading off to bed was late coming in after bridge but l03 words so far, be back tomorrow to hopefully finish

1:08 am

Lizlin

That's wonderful Flosey. Hope you've had a lovely evening. Sleep well.

1:08 am

Kamanjah

WOW, Flosey! 57 years is amazing! Congrats! Sleep well.

1:09 am

flosey

thanks Liz and Kam

1:09 am

sprite

wooooot flosey! That is wonderful too! Sleep well, dear lady, and gentle sweet dreams

1:09 am

flosey

and Sprite - and now to sleep

1:10 am

Lizlin

44 left here. I'll be back later or tomorrow to finish. Hugs, all.

1:10 am

sprite

1:10 am

Kamanjah

Hey, I just found me in the grid, haa
Night, Liz, take care

1:11 am

sprite

1:11 am

Kamanjah

*grins* okay Kam

1:12 am

sprite

hiya hursh, how is life for you?

1:12 am

grannyrose

cooee sprite, liz, kam, flosey, {{HUGS}}

1:13 am

hurshy

it's... interesting

1:13 am

sprite

ouch. Interesting... chinese curse, isn't it, may you live in interesting times?

1:14 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello my dear friend! How are you today?

1:15 am

hurshy

lol

1:15 am

grannyrose

okayish. early start... yes, ANOTHER one. don's procedure today. turns out he has diverticulitis, undiagnosed since childhood.

1:15 am

sprite

what is that?

1:16 am

grannyrose

the bowel develops 'pockets' along the wall of the intestine. all good so long as nothing, ie food, gets caught in them.

1:17 am

grannyrose

the diverticula can become inflammed, infrected, and even rupture, causing enormous problems.

1:17 am

sprite

and if it does? Inflammation?

1:18 am

sprite

ah, right. Not a good thing. Can they treat it at all?

1:19 am

grannyrose

treatment is predominantly diet, but there a few drugs which can help. we are waiting for the official report to reach gp who will very likely call him in for a 'discussion'.

1:19 am

Kamanjah

Oh, geez, Rose, that sucks. He's had issues for a long time then. I just got an odd diagnosis Friday, will email you two. I've probably had it for 40 years, now it's an issue, and repair is "cosmetic"

1:20 am

sprite

well, better to know and find out how to live with it as best as you can... did he make it through the procedure okay? Seeing how highly unpleasant it is?

1:21 am

sprite

cosmetic as in, it does not really solve it?

1:21 am

grannyrose

yeah, all was good. i was most afraid that he would cough up his airway while under.

1:21 am

Kamanjah

No, insurance doesn't cover it. But it will have to be fixed if I'm to feel better.

1:23 am

sprite

that sucks, Kam. Always so expensive, medical stuff. I just found out I have to pay almost 1000 euro myself for my psychiatric treatments :( No idea where I will find that kind of money, and just when I had all my ducks in a row financially.

1:23 am

Kamanjah

Hell, it's nothing really personal, it's called diastasis. My belly muscles are split. NOW it decides to hurt. Gaah!
Rose, I'm sorry to hear about Don's diag...I know diverticulitis can be terribly difficult to deal with

1:24 am

Kamanjah

You guys don't have mental health coverage, Sprite?

1:24 am

sprite

that is nasty, Kam.

1:24 am

sprite

Yes I do, and I thought it would cover everything, but it does not. They will pay about 3000 euro and I have to cover the rest.

1:25 am

Kamanjah

We even have some in the US, even though we have zero dental unless employed and covered through employer

1:25 am

Kamanjah

I have to laugh, pregnancy is the cause for the majority of women. My daughter is over 40

1:26 am

grannyrose

but Kam ifit is causing pain, how can it be 'cosmetic'?

1:26 am

sprite

oh rose, Caya was briefly home for Tim's birthday this weekend and got her presents from you! She asked me to tell you THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! Her favorite was the cuddly owl :D

1:26 am

Kamanjah

I guess limited coverage is better than none...

1:26 am

sprite

I have the same thing, Kam, but so far it almost never hurts.

1:27 am

grannyrose

lol.... sprite, i thought it might be.

1:27 am

Kamanjah

Rose, I will be making some noise...it is only fixable by surgery, but I really don't want my gut cut open, so, maybe the extreme symptoms from overexertion will resolve if I slow down a bit

1:28 am

sprite

what I hate most is that every time I manage to create order in my finances, something comes up that swings it out of control yet again. I so long for peace in that regard.

1:29 am

Kamanjah

It never hurt until 10 days ago, so I asked the doc. What can I say, I know it's been there forever, but hurting and cramping isn't supposed to come with it. I'm calling doc if I'm not better in a couple of days

1:30 am

Kamanjah

Hear ya on the finances, Sprite. Our insurance is due next week. But, we worked a savings plan into our budget, so the money is actually there! Yay!

1:30 am

sprite

I hope slowing down will resolve the symptoms

1:30 am

Kamanjah

Thanks, me too

1:31 am

grannyrose

1:34 am

grannyrose

3:31 am

zoozzoom

Oh I bet they love them!

3:33 am

rubyfoo

They eat anything but at the moment they are alldown at the bottombecause the heron comes for a meal every day.

3:33 am

rubyfoo

Chez Ruby

3:33 am

zoozzoom

I was in the garden yesterday and when I was weeding the robin that lives very near by came right next to me and was picking insects as I was weeding! I was amazed at how tame it seemed to be. i think it was gathering food for its little ones.

3:34 am

zoozzoom

Oh yes the heron ould have a feast if it manages to get one of your fish.

3:34 am

rubyfoo

That's so cute! l think they distinguish between friend and foe

3:35 am

rubyfoo

l'msure he getsone every day. Some of themat over a foot long

3:35 am

3:36 am

rubyfoo

3:36 am

zoozzoom

Ah I thought something was amiss. No worries, Ruby, you nap when you feel like it!

3:37 am

rubyfoo

ldon't mind because there are many fish and he is a magnificent, bold creature

3:37 am

rubyfoo

Sometimes he stands next to the pond and looks at me

3:38 am

zoozzoom

I love the look of herons I tried to get a photo of a couple on a nest but they did not seem too keen on it and stayed away.

3:39 am

zoozzoom

Probably waiting for you to tell the fish to come to the surface so he can have a meal LOL

3:41 am

rubyfoo

When he flies off, since l'm on a hillside and he flies down toward the lake, l can see him from above. He is really beautiful and huge

3:41 am

zoozzoom

I bought a book last week called 'Best British short stories 2017' Well if that is the best for 2017 geez what a load of tosh. I am not impressed.

3:41 am

zoozzoom

And PB for me. sorry everyone.

3:42 am

rubyfoo

3:42 am

zoozzoom

That would make a great photo, Ruby!

3:42 am

rubyfoo

3:43 am

rubyfoo

3:43 am

zoozzoom

Looks like it is going to rain here today :-(

3:44 am

zoozzoom

3:44 am

rubyfoo

Stupid multi spellings of cat sounds. Just spend about 10 minutes trying to find that one!

6:35 pm

6:56 pm

7:05 pm

MollyL

This game is not based on an English dictionary. It is based on a "word list" made by strange people who include some foreign language words, but not others. Not to mention all the obscure foreign currency and alias, other country mammals.

7:07 pm

doseffing

.... I'm sure that if you read a book in advanced linguistics that you could find that word being used ... because it describes a situation common to any number of languages ... if you disallow it then you must disallow all those currencies and tropical plants and animals

7:08 pm

doseffing

... it's a game involving words ... not just words in everyday usage ...

7:08 pm

penquis

it is what it is... ;o)

7:09 pm

doseffing

... very true

7:09 pm

MollyL

What is "allowed" is interesting in this word list. Some French words, but not others. Merde is allowed (not so well known) merci is not allowed (very well known). I always wonder about people who defend this word list.

7:10 pm

penquis

i don't defend it....just have to live with it if I want to play the game...

7:10 pm

penquis

can anyone clue the al 6/21?

7:12 pm

doseffing

... same starting three letters as the al5 before it ... I think it means a person who gives

7:14 pm

MollyL

We all have to live with this word list if we want to play this game. However, there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.

7:14 pm

penquis

i have tried those same four letters in countless attempts...still going around in circles....

7:15 pm

penquis

found it....ty, dose...

7:17 pm

7:18 pm

TallMike

So why do we all want to play this game if there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the word list?

7:19 pm

penquis

because we are gluttons for p unishment?....

7:20 pm

MollyL

I agree with Pen. Playing this game is like an exercise in masochism.

7:21 pm

7:24 pm

TallMike

I play because it's not addictive. Each day I play till I hate it enough to stop. The weird thing is that I come back the next day.

7:24 pm

penquis

congrats, dose...

7:24 pm

penquis

well some people are more easily addicted than you are, mike... ;o)

7:25 pm

TallMike

I think I'm conflicted, which may be worse.

7:26 pm

harpjane

I can get addicted if I let myself play too many days in a row. Once I've gotten, say 10 finishes in a row, I want to keep going until I get 30.

7:26 pm

harpjane

Fortunately my life cirsumstances don't usually allow me to play that often.

7:26 pm

penquis

i just play....most every day...

7:27 pm

harpjane

I'm getting addicted to sudoku thought
