Hiya Sprite! How are you? Long time, no "see"!
1:08 am
sprite
*hugs Kam* I was in germany for an OA retreat, came home Sunday night, then in nail training all of yesterday. Finally coming up for air now, lol. I am good, had a very inspiring and encouraging retreat. How are you and your beloved doing?
1:09 am
Kamanjah
Glad to hear you enjoyed the retreat, great news! We're just kinda sliding into fall weather and enjoying.
1:10 am
sprite
cooler weather?
1:11 am
Kamanjah
yay, yes! Low 80s is the warmest it has been - I turned off the AC a couple of days ago.
1:12 am
sprite
that is great, you were ready for that
1:13 am
Kamanjah
Oh yeah, more than ready! It is so nice to be able to go outside and not start sweating immediately! And hubby can work in his shop comfortably. I know it's a good day for him when his radio is on out there all day.
1:14 am
sprite
oh, same as with my Rob :)
1:16 am
Kamanjah
We also have a new/old addition to the household - a Siamese we adopted maybe 6+ years ago who wandered off came home! He's quite the character! Took him 3 days to dare to enter the house, now he's acting like he's the king cat, lol! The dog and other cats don't know what to think, lol!
1:17 am
sprite
oh WOW! Came home after that long? That is amazing.
1:19 am
Kamanjah
He has been in the area, just "moved" - he ate next door for a while, but her cat crossed the Bridge, so no more food. That was a year ago, and none of us had seen him till last week. Boom, he's back in my lap. He needs to calm down enough to learn to be brushed again - he's been semi-feral for years. Crazy.
1:20 am
sprite
I love it :D Such a great thing to happen. He will love all your cuddles and hugs, and learn to be loved and cared for again soon enough
1:23 am
Kamanjah
I'm thrilled! He was my cat, then...poof. Hubby's cat is always with him, now I have a very jealous dog - the cat 'moved' before I got the dog! Dog is doing pretty well, but got huffy when I was fixing dinner and the cat was begging too. Cat is named Nebi - aka Mr. Nibs
1:24 am
sprite
dog will adjust, they always do. Learn to share his lego, lol.
1:27 am
Kamanjah
Cat only dared to march into the house about 3 days ago, so all will adjust. He was talking to me for about 3 days before he came back inside - we have a dog door.
1:28 am
Kamanjah
I hate to think that it is only due to food - but the amount of talking and affection is more than just being fed, I think.
1:29 am
sprite
oh absolutely. Food is imporrtant, but he needs more from you than that and is asking for it.
1:30 am
Kamanjah
Well, I hope he sticks around this time!
1:30 am
sprite
me too. For your sake, but especially for his
1:31 am
Kamanjah
Yes, he will be well cared for here!
1:31 am
sprite
ki5 heaven, no doubt
1:32 am
Kamanjah
But you can't keep a cat if they don't want to live with you - not unless you live in an apartment and cats can't get out.
1:33 am
Kamanjah
We love our critters, but they do have the freedom of the dog door.
1:33 am
sprite
indeed. Let's hope he will be able to settle down now.
1:34 am
Kamanjah
fingers crossed...
1:40 am
Kamanjah
Nice chatting again, and glad to hear you had a good time in Germany! Take care, I'm over and out.

roooseeeeeee! Hello my dear friend, I missed you
1:53 am
sprite
the retreat was awesome. Very uplifting and inspiring, and very encouraging.
1:53 am
sprite
how are you and Don doing?
1:55 am
grannyrose
we are well. hydro was really good. i managed to increase my exercises slightly with no ill effects. don is finally going to see GP tomorrow. hopefully she will help him.
1:56 am

definitely ewwwww
2:01 am
grannyrose
brb. getting don to put my knitted socks on my cold footsies.
2:01 am
sprite
added it anyway, lol
2:06 am
grannyrose
sprite, we are having some much trouble here. some disgruntled person has been putting needles into strawberries before they hit the shops. also a case of a banana and an apple.. when you think of the number of babies and toddlers who are given whole pieces of fruit to eat, te thought makes me sick.
2:07 am
sprite
wth???? omg that is awful. How sick can a person be to do something like this... to even think it up?
2:07 am
grannyrose
we are being advised to cut all fruit into small pieces.
2:08 am
sprite
yes, that is the only way. I am baffled. Cannot understand such crime
2:09 am
grannyrose
let's face it. all acts of terrorism are baffling. because there is no rhyme nor reason behind them.
2:13 am
sprite
don't know how things like this work in someone's mind. How can it possibly make one feel better about anything, to know that countless innocent people (let alone children!) are hurt and endangered by your actions?
2:15 am
grannyrose
the person simply doesn't care about that, i am sure. all they want to do is create chaos.
2:17 am
sprite
yes but HOW does that make them feel better? I just do not get that part.
2:21 am
grannyrose
neither do i, honey.
2:24 am
sprite
all I can think is it somehow makes them feel powerful and they use that to compensate for their helplessness in some other area of their lives. But really. I mean... how can you think you and your feelings are important enough to justify hurting lots of other people?
2:26 am
sprite
hm how come 'henge' is not valid? As in stone henge?
2:27 am
grannyrose
lolll. urshy or maybe it was hurshy asked the same question.
2:28 am
grannyrose
nope, it was cybernan. lolll
2:29 am
sprite
ah well, all we can say is... 'enable'
2:31 am
grannyrose
and finally nursing staff in aged care facilities are standing up and speaking out about the poor staffing ratios, and how funds are used for food etc. some homes are allocating Au$6/day for food.
2:33 am
grannyrose
when i worked night shift in aged care, i was the only nurse there with 30 people to take care of. they wormed their way around the issue by saying the 'matron' was on-call when in fact she slept all night in her flat.
2:36 am
grannyrose
and i was not allowed to waken her. then the home was taken over by asians. they would not buy salt to cook the porridge with, and then they wouldn't leave me any bread to make toast with.
2:38 am
grannyrose
i had to resign. i couldn't work li4 that. my last night, i had to empty all the salt shakers on the dinner trays just to cook the porridge for the breakfasts.
2:38 am
sprite
really crazy conditions. Poor people.
2:42 am
grannyrose
btw, sprite. what does Rob do when you are away for the weekend?
2:43 am
sprite
feel lonely, poor man. He has worked his ass off getting more stuff thrown out and sorted. Overdid things enough to retrigger his bursitis. And he was so tired (and I was too) that we got into a fight on the way home after he picked me up. Sigh.
2:44 am
grannyrose
oh dear. not a good picture. have you made up?
2:44 am
sprite
yeah we did, yesterday evening.
2:46 am
grannyrose
good. xoxox
2:47 am
sprite
it is hard, when we both are too tired. Glad we managed to sort things out.
2:52 am
sprite
I am gonna write you a long email about the retreat and all soon. Have to find a time when I have the energy, but it will come.
2:53 am

Carol Susan Jane Danvers is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Gene Colan, Danvers first appeared as an officer in the United States Air Force and a colleague of the Kree superhero Mar-Vell in Marvel Super-Heroes #13 (March 1968) and later became the first incarnation of Ms. Marvel in Ms. Marvel #1 (cover-dated January 1977) after her DNA was fused with Mar-Vell's during an explosion, giving her superhuman powers.
