good morning all

1:29 am

grannyrose

and good morning to you too mrs sprite. xoxoxox

1:30 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello my darling, good to see you. How did your day go? And how are you feeling?

1:30 am

sprite

also, how is Don? Cough done with yet?

1:31 am

grannyrose

been achieving today. sorted all the clean washing and put away. so feeling a tad smug. don still barking every now and again. not so full on now.nasal spray definitely helping.

1:32 am

sprite

very good. And is he taking his medicine, that is your magic potion, as a big boy now?

1:32 am

grannyrose

what did you learn yesterday at your nail lesson?

1:33 am

sprite

wtg on the laundry. So... how ARE you feeling?

1:33 am

grannyrose

yes he is. thank heavens. i was about to tell him to go sleep in the lounge room.

1:34 am

sprite

acrylic french, normal and reversed, plus glitter fade, all on nail forms. And a fun way to do nail art to add to my repertoire

1:34 am

sprite

lol, good for you. Silly Don ;)

1:34 am

grannyrose

feeling tired, and muscles are a bit achy. we got back into the hydro yesterday. i shortened my session a little as i felt i had been too long out of the pool to go straight back to what i was doing before.

1:35 am

sprite

very wise, that is the way to go. Go back a bit, and build up gradually again from there. And now listen to your lovely body and rest up... and take the magnesium.

1:36 am

grannyrose

wow sprite, you are going to be in hot demand by the time you are finished. so many new things, and of course you are blitzing them.

1:37 am

sprite

wish I managed to get clients. As I have been saying all along... marketing is my weak spot. Acquisition... arrrrgh no idea what I am doing.

1:38 am

grannyrose

okay then. maybe a short course on marketing when you are finished. there might be some good suggestions on-lone.

1:39 am

sprite

not a bad idea. Thanks hun.

1:39 am

grannyrose

how is Rob going? still behind the eight ball with the de-cluttering and packing?

1:40 am

grannyrose

and how did the inspection go with the real estate person?

1:41 am

sprite

yes he is. Doing very well, keeping it up and taking rest when needed.

1:41 am

sprite

also very good. Not much to fix, much less than we thought. The market is so good for sellers atm that they are willing to overlook little stuff.

1:43 am

grannyrose

yay!! sending a stream of prayers to the Big Guy. sending thanx to Him as well.

1:43 am

sprite

you and your beloved are both in the grid today :D

1:43 am

sprite

indeed, on both counts

1:44 am

grannyrose

oh, and this technophobe actually sat down and used gmail's calendar, and entered all her appointments, and all the birthdays for the next year.

1:45 am

sprite

wow, good job, hun

1:45 am

grannyrose

8-) wasn't so hard. just had to overcome my phobia of new techno.

1:45 am

sprite

now if only I could get you to start with an android smart phone... we could app throughout the day for free :D

1:46 am

grannyrose

lolll.... don't push it honey.

1:47 am

sprite

but the rewards, sweetie... imagine being able to send me messages whenever and getting answers pretty soon... like in chat... :D

1:47 am

grannyrose

yeah i know. give it some time, like about 10 years or so.

1:48 am

sprite

roflollll

1:48 am

grannyrose

*grin* good, i've started your day with a giggle

1:48 am

sprite

you did. Which is pretty awesome, cuz I am hurting all over.

1:49 am

grannyrose

i bet your are. you poor thing. i wish i could send you the spa from our pool. it is awesome.

1:50 am

grannyrose

do you have a spa centre or such near you?

1:50 am

sprite

*travels to rose instead and makes it a full day there with her*

1:50 am

sprite

yes, I do, and I even have a freebee voucher from my kids for my birthday. Just to find time, lol

1:53 am

grannyrose

better use the voucher before it expires sweetie.

1:53 am

sprite

got a full year, no worries

1:55 am

sprite

ugh, those training days are lonnnnnng. You know why? No banter or fun among us at all. The trainer and I do not share the same kind of humour and the other trainee does not have a sense of humour at all. When I crack a joke, one is staring at me glassily and the other tends to be offended. I spend most of my days there in silence... and you know how uncommon that is for me :D

1:56 am

grannyrose

oh dear.... not the best scenario for learning.

1:58 am

sprite

nope. Will be glad when the training is over. Though she is a very good teacher! I just hope that in future, when i go back for more progressed learning, there will be some fun ladies to fool around with :D

2:01 am

grannyrose

*giggle* when you have finished take along a stripped lamb bone and tell her you have bought her a funny bone to help her humur.

2:01 am

sprite

roflolllllll

2:01 am

grannyrose

oh dear, did that come out aloud??

2:01 am

sprite

*giggles* Yep, it did.

2:02 am

flosey

love it Granny

2:02 am

flosey

and, by the way, hi Granny and Sprite

2:02 am

grannyrose

or tell her, your friend from australia is coming to give her a wet willie.

2:02 am

sprite

*hugs flosey* Hello dear lady, good evening/night to you. How have you been?

2:02 am

grannyrose

hey flosey, lovely to see you. xoxox

2:03 am

flosey

have been well thanks Sprite. not enjoying this grid though!! slow going

2:03 am

sprite

o.m.g. they would get SO mad at you for a wet willie! LOL.

2:03 am

grannyrose

rofloll

2:03 am

sprite

good to hear you are doing well, flosey. And I hear ya about the grid. Slow for me too.

2:10 am

Lizlin

Hi all. Just looked in to say thanks for the card Sprite. Not late at all. Really thoughtful.

2:10 am

grannyrose

hey ya lizgirl

2:10 am

Lizlin

Hi Rose. All good I hope

2:12 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* Am glad. How are you and your beloved doing during the holy days?

2:12 am

Lizlin

All good thanks.

2:12 am

Lizlin

Full of good food

2:13 am

sprite

good to hear. Pretty busy, no doubt!

2:13 am

Lizlin

Not really. Synagogue and food. Day of Atonement next week.

2:14 am

sprite

all work for the food done beforehand then?

2:15 am

Lizlin

We were well organised and we both enjoy cooking.

2:15 am

sprite

awesome :D Glad you are celebrating in style.

2:16 am

Lizlin

Itâ€™s a pretty serious time - not really celebrating and youâ€™d think of it.

2:17 am

sprite

celebrating is probably the wrong word then. Not sure which one is better... thinking of observing?

2:18 am

Lizlin

I know what you mean. No worries!

2:18 am

sprite

:)

2:20 am

Lizlin

Anyway just wanted to say thanks. Have a great day. Rose, enjoy the rest of your day. Hugs all

2:20 am

grannyrose

you too dear liz. xoxox

2:21 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* Lots of love to you both.

2:21 am

sprite

oh ro4, I found your ro5!

2:23 am

grannyrose

just had to smack don. an hour ago i said to him, would you like me to remind you to have your shower, in an hours time. which i have just done. his response ?? i wish you had reminded me an hour ago. *sigh*

2:24 am

sprite

2:30 am

grannyrose

2:30 am

sprite

2:32 am

sprite

finally greyed out the G. The gr words are new to me.

2:33 am

grannyrose

yeah. apparently they are a polish coin. 100th of a zloty.

2:34 am

sprite

yep. Made of aluminum. Can't be worth a thing, lol

2:36 am

sprite

fireflies. Took some doing. Not as easy a grid as it seemed.

2:36 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE !!!

2:37 am

sprite

*hugs* my dear friend. Must go and get groceries for two days, because if I do, I won't have to go out tomorrow at all. Second day after overtaxing... you know how it goes :) Love ya.

2:38 am

grannyrose

what's on your agenda today, honey?

2:38 am

sprite

groceries, cooking, singing lesson, laundry. Maybe fill up one or two boxes, but not sure yet if I will have the stamina.

2:38 am

grannyrose

2:39 am

lil*monkey

HA!

6:35 am

rubyfoo

Bonjour

6:36 am

doseffing

... good afternoon ruby

6:37 am

lil*monkey

Bon matin from coastal Virginia, where we are expecting Hurricane Florence

6:37 am

rubyfoo

l'm back in the care of the HAD (hospital at home) and they are beginning to take charge again

6:38 am

lil*monkey

I'm glad you are being cared for, rubyfoo

6:38 am

rubyfoo

Are you in a safe place, monkey-girl?

6:38 am

lil*monkey

Yes, I hope so ruby

6:39 am

lil*monkey

It's expected to make landfall in North Carolina, which is about 1.5 hours south of me, but we will get rain, wind and flooding.

6:39 am

rubyfoo

l Don't know how long l'll be able to manage, but they arrange all tests (blood, scans, appointments, etc) and l can worry less

6:40 am

doseffing

... sounds like the safest place to be is Tennessee or Kentucky

6:40 am

rubyfoo

or France

6:41 am

doseffing

... that'll do

6:41 am

lil*monkey

or Hawaii on the beach

6:41 am

doseffing

... they had their hurricane last week didn't they?

6:42 am

lil*monkey

Yes I believe so

6:42 am

rubyfoo

There are many storms devzloping in the Paacific, too

6:42 am

lil*monkey

Too many to count in the Atlantic AND the Pacific right now

6:42 am

doseffing

... heavens ... Florence looks like it's taking the same root as Hazel in 1954 ... we're looking to a lot of rain here

6:43 am

rubyfoo

l lived on Fisher Island before coming here, and w e had to evacuate when a storm was coming

6:44 am

ChampFit

I hope it's easier for them to evacuate than it is for us. We have too many people and it ends up being a nightmare.

6:44 am

lil*monkey

I was in coastal NC for Hurricane Isabel, we did not have power for 3 weeks after.

6:44 am

rubyfoo

l loved Florida, but lt's much safer here and the healthcare is better and free

6:46 am

rubyfoo

Fisher Island is only accessible by ferry so we had to take our dog and sleep in the office

6:53 am

MollyL

We had major & extended power outages here after Isabel too. And lots of tree damage.

6:53 am

rubyfoo

more and more storms; it's all very frightening

6:57 am

mixed feelings. Trying to decide to go to Greensboro Symphony Thursday night. Using it as excuse to get the trash out of the yard and drains cleaned. With Fran we had no power for 4 days, next door had no power for 7. (advantage of being on the main line.)

10:36 am

72 Temple Owl

both of you are in the path?

10:43 am

cybernan

what is the current status of Florence? --- we get info on the evening news, but not in the morning.

10:44 am

therealblah

category 4 and still strengthening; heading toward n/s carolina; mandatory evac in effect

10:45 am

mixi6

I'm 150 miles inland and in the path.

10:45 am

72 Temple Owl

predicted to stall. very bad scenario.

10:45 am

therealblah

potential to be a major disaster

10:46 am

cybernan

I hope you are preparing to get out of there, blah!

10:46 am

72 Temple Owl

rain amounts huge, way inland

10:46 am

therealblah

yes, that's what happened in TX last year with Harvey - 50 inches of rain

10:46 am

therealblah

the region is still trying to recover

10:47 am

72 Temple Owl

blah are yor eatern or piedmont/

10:47 am

72 Temple Owl

10:49 am

therealblah

ah.

10:49 am

mixi6

I'm in shelter in place. Way too far inland for evacuation. I'm not in or near a flood zone.

10:49 am

72 Temple Owl

10:50 am

therealblah

10:50 am

cybernan

glad to hear that mixi -- hope mlf is safe also

10:51 am

72 Temple Owl

i am concerned here with the remnants. the ground is saturated and there are little streams all around here.

10:52 am

therealblah

yes if it stalls inland and dumps rain...

10:52 am

72 Temple Owl

it's a huge concern for the east coast

10:52 am

72 Temple Owl

but no where as concerning as the carilinas and VA

10:53 am

therealblah

i saw in the news yesterday that some areas of delmarva/pa have already gotten 300% (!) more rain than usual this year, so ground is saturated

10:53 am

72 Temple Owl

pls i am not minimizing and am very concerned for them

10:53 am

cybernan

a terrible year -- the west is burning up and the east is under a deluge

10:53 am

therealblah

true nan

10:54 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, blah, the east has been saturated. we had flood warnings this past Monday.

10:54 am

cybernan

I think all but one of our fires are either out or under control --- new one in CA is really bad though

10:54 am

bichon

give me something positive to hope for

10:54 am

72 Temple Owl

10:54 am

10:58 am

10:58 am

72 Temple Owl

after a while, it all gets blurry with the details, blah.

10:59 am

therealblah

i know, there are so many options

11:00 am

cybernan

we just bought a cr-v --- best milage we've ever had on a car. Love the way it drives, too.

11:00 am

72 Temple Owl

edmunds says one thing. car and driver another...etc etc etc

11:00 am

bichon

We have twwo cars. One's is an '01 and the other an '03

11:00 am

72 Temple Owl

well the trans is slipping on mine. no choice

11:00 am

bichon

what's a cr-v?

11:01 am

cybernan

its a honda -- their mid-sized suv

11:01 am

72 Temple Owl

uh oh here comes latest hurricane news

11:01 am

cybernan

was one of the top rated suv's last year and this -- lots of great driving assists and safety features.

11:02 am

therealblah

it's on here too TO, and it's not getting any better

11:02 am

bichon

I don't think we'd be interested in a SUV

11:02 am

cybernan

will see if there is anything on CNN

11:03 am

therealblah

do you have the weather channel nan, i'm sure it is the main news there

11:04 am

cybernan

we were used to driving vans, Bichon, but don't need anything that big anymore so went to the suv. It is hard to go back to a sedan when you are used to being higher up off the road with the increased visibilty that gives you.

11:04 am
