Kamanjah

Hi Sprite!

1:03 am

sprite

*hugs Kam* Good evening, dear one. How are you and your beloved today?

1:04 am

Kamanjah

Pretty good tonight - and our weather is supposed to cool off by Thursday (it's still Tues nite)

1:04 am

Kamanjah

And how are you and Rob?

1:05 am

sprite

fingers crossed re. temps. Great to hear you are pretty good!
Rob and I are okay. Apart from the stupid vertigo, but that, as the man said, will pass...

1:07 am

Kamanjah

Gosh, that vertigo thing is so annoying. Mine comes and goes, but my chiro can fix it every time. I just wish he was nearby - his office is 55 miles each way. But SO worth the drive. I have to get hubby to take me if I'm really messed up

1:09 am

sprite

I hear ya, I cannot drive myself yet either. Highly frustrating. Ah well, as things like this go, this one is merely annoying and not at all serious. Will count my blessings ;)

1:10 am

Kamanjah

Be safe, hope you can get it fixed quickly.

1:10 am

sprite

am doing the exercises several times a day, and it seems to be improving a little

1:11 am

Kamanjah

Good to hear - at least it's a start. Hang in there! *Hugs!*

1:11 am

sprite

foodept - good at eating or cooking (or both)

1:12 am

sprite

I'll be fine :) *hugs* to you too... are you off to bed? Or just an intermittent hug?

1:13 am

Kamanjah

Just a hug to feel better <3

1:13 am

sprite

thanks :D It works!

1:17 am

flosey

good morning Sprite. I'm ready for sleep myself!

1:17 am

flosey

be back in the morning to hopefully complete this biggie!

1:17 am

sprite

*hugs flosey* Good evening, dear lady, I hope you are well today. Sleep well and dream sweet dreams... or naughty ones...

1:18 am

sprite

a trip

1:18 am

sprite

sorry about that

1:22 am

sprite

*gently rattles rose's cage* Come out, come out, whatever you think you are doing in stead of talking to us...

1:22 am

Kamanjah

Sprite, your daughter was in last night's grid, my last name is in tonight's.

1:23 am

sprite

oh! True! Good grids, both of them :D

1:23 am

Kamanjah

Rose likely has her nose buried in the grid...sometimes I don't see you come in for 30+ minutes, lol!

1:23 am

sprite

lol, you have good focus.

1:24 am

sprite

I know rose... she is probably done with the grid and busy chasing squirrels.

1:25 am

Kamanjah

sometimes...other times, no focus at all, lol! I finally learned how to play sudoku this week. I didn't think I'd ever figure that one out!

1:26 am

sprite

oh that is so cool! I love sudoku. I hope you will have lots of fun hours with the game.

1:28 am

Kamanjah

I spent most of my cold recovery time messing with figuring it out, voila! Finished puzzles from the NY Times in less than 15 minutes - the easy ones helped me figure out the "procedure"

1:29 am

sprite

that is the best way to learn. So many interesting laws of logic to be discovered.

1:30 am

Kamanjah

I love logic puzzles too - the hex logic ones for the phone/tablet have been so much fun!

1:33 am

sprite

googled hex logic puzzles. Not that I need another addiction :D
Looks like fun, am gonna try them

1:35 am

Kamanjah

Enjoy! I've done animals, and am finishing up carnival masks. There are several, some for phone, others for kindle

1:35 am

sprite

will need some for android

1:36 am

Kamanjah

Zoo and Carnival are the ones I have on my phone right now.

1:36 am

sprite

I found Zoo.

1:38 am

Kamanjah

Apologies in advance...sometimes I get started on those and can't stop, but they're fun!

1:38 am

sprite

ah, some are paid games. Will see about that at some later time, first the zoo puzzles.

1:39 am

Kamanjah

I only get the freebies - you can get them via Amazon Prime if you have it. Sometimes downloading to my phone is a hassle from Amazon though.

1:40 am

sprite

I found Zoo in Playstore.

1:42 am

grannyrose

cooee and g'day from me. {{{{sprite}}}}} {{{kam}}}

1:43 am

grannyrose

1:44 am

sprite

coming along very well. Glad you are in not too much pain today. How is Don?

1:45 am

grannyrose

1:45 am

sprite

roflol :D

1:45 am

sprite

am so so so not going there... commenting on Don and his sausage in one sentence... nope...

1:48 am

grannyrose

vicar and i had a meeting today with a member of our parish council. it seems people are getting miffed as i am banking any donations made to our community lunch in order to pay for kitchen reno's at the church. people cannot grasp the concept that i NEVER bill the church for all the food i buy. and they think i should be using the money towards supporting the church finances. *sigh* i am so frustrated.

1:49 am

grannyrose

if i billed the church for the food etc i buy, well, the donations do not even cover half of the cost.

1:49 am

Soodle

Morning ladies. Excited to be meeting up with our Bugsaw later on today! :-)

1:50 am

sprite

aw poor darling :( Time to start writing down the costs of food you are giving to the church each time. Make it visible to the stupid people.

1:50 am

sprite

morning Soodle, how wonderful!

1:50 am

grannyrose

oooooohhhh, soodle. what a lovely thing to look forward to doing. {{soodle}}

1:51 am

Soodle

As you pair know, Babble meets are awesome!

1:51 am

grannyrose

i have sprite. it is all documented in a book, and all the receipts have been photocopied.

1:51 am

sprite

very good, honey. Copies to the nagging people in case.

1:52 am

sprite

they are. I wish you both a splendid time, Soodle. And please hug eachother from me :)

1:52 am

grannyrose

yeah. i am thinking of just leaving the book on the table. opened at an appropriate page of course.

1:53 am

sprite

too subtle, honey. Go for it in all openness. "I heard you are worried about how the donations are distributed. Please have a look at these copies and be reassured."

1:53 am

grannyrose

soodle, perhaps when don and i are over next, we can do another meet. i will drag mattygroves and sprite along too.

1:54 am

sprite

no need to drag me. I come along gladly

1:54 am

sprite

or, in english, I will gladly come along

1:54 am

grannyrose

both versions good honey

1:54 am

sprite

ah okay, thanks hun

1:55 am

Soodle

What Sprite said!!! Rub their suspicious noses in the book, Rose. And yes!!! I'd love to meet you guys! Did I tell you I'm to be a Grandma?

1:56 am

sprite

wooooot Soodle, how exciting!

1:56 am

Kamanjah

Congrats, Soodle! That's great news!

1:56 am

grannyrose

NOOOOO !!! you didn't... congratulations !!! and the ETA is ?

1:57 am

Soodle

I always thought that a big win on the lottery would make me the happiest I could be, but this news beats it by a million miles. Spring next year, Rose. I am over the moon :-)

1:58 am

grannyrose

*squealing, hand-clapping, cartwheels on the keyboard* that is soooo exciting. it is the most gorgeous moment you will ever have.

1:58 am

sprite

yeah she did, rose, but a lonnnng time ago. This time around, it is the children that did it.

1:59 am

grannyrose

when you hold that baby in your arms, you will feel all the pain, hurt, bad stuff float away. how can any of that matter when you are holding the next generation?

2:01 am

Soodle

Happy dance :-)

2:01 am

sprite

4:46 am

mattygroves

I loathe winter. My OH says that the change of the seasons is a good thing; me, I'd happily never see another flake of snow as long as I live

4:46 am

Flask1

Can either of you please explain to me how I add my words to the list.....all the years I have been babbling, I have never managed to work it out,

4:46 am

MollyL

I still have a few miniature red roses. And a purple celosia that is giving the patio some great color. And I TOTALLY agree with Matty about winter.

4:47 am

rubyfoo

Hardly any sow last year butmonths of bitter cld and the house has no heat

4:47 am

Flask1

Oh I prefer when its cooler outside...

4:48 am

Flask1

Lots of snow up here last year

4:48 am

rubyfoo

<My magenta celosia on the deck are all floppy ad finished, but l busied a couple of spent flowers, hoping they'll make new plants

Does anybody here have a fishpond? l can't reember if l wait 'til the first frost to stop feeding

5:02 am

Flask1

Sorry Ruby, mine is an indoor tank!

5:07 am

MollyL

My friend Google says you stop feeding when the water reaches 50 degrees

5:09 am

rubyfoo

hmm, the water is always cold and the fish (all 300 of tehm)nare still very active and gettihg bigger and fatter, visibly, each Week Either they're full of eggs or just preparing for hibernating in the mud at the bottom

5:11 am

rubyfoo

lt's like a miracle every spring when they emerge. The same with the waterlilies

5:12 am

rubyfoo

The pond was my husband's hobby, so l ever paid it anough attetion

5:12 am

MollyL

I don't know Ruby. I know nothing about fish ponds. That is just what I found in a Google search.

5:13 am

MollyL

And to be more specific, it says when the water reaches temperatures below 50 degrees.

5:14 am

rubyfoo

l'll call the store where l buy the food ad the origina 23 tiy fish. Last year l asked them if they wanted to buy some back, but they declined

zoozzoom

Hello, ((Ruby))

5:38 am

rubyfoo

l'm just too lazy to do anything!

5:39 am

5:40 am

zoozzoom

5:41 am

rubyfoo

no doubt!

5:41 am

zoozzoom

I am trying not to turn my heating on untill the 1st October lol

5:42 am

zoozzoom

It is okay during the day as it warms up to around 17c outside. But it does get nippy during the night time.

5:44 am

rubyfoo

l'm waiting as long as l can to start having a fire

5:44 am

rubyfoo

l think last winter enured me (somewhat) to the cold

5:45 am

zoozzoom

Hey don't you let yourself get cold. I am just being a tight wad. You need to keep yourself warm.

5:46 am

rubyfoo

lt's OKK; l'm not suffering YET and the (cold) Sunshine and lovely roses warm my heart. Also my babble friends

5:46 am

zoozzoom

I personally can not see the point in spending Â£700 on heating bills and not even keep warm. So I am just putting it off untill I need to put it on. Hoping to save a few pounds in money.

5:47 am

zoozzoom

((Ruby)) you are so sweet.

5:47 am

zoozzoom

I hope we do not get another cold Winter like last year!

5:48 am

I wouldn't mind if a harsh winter meant we could have another summer like this year.

5:49 am

Oh gosh yes I so hope we get another hot Summer! And still no to the cold Winter :-)

5:50 am

Haz1558

You're being greedy, zooz!

5:50 am

zoozzoom

Teehee!

5:50 am

rubyfoo

l Don't think there's any correlation. the weather seems to be getting more andmore random

5:51 am

zoozzoom

Just want it to be warm all year. Is that too much to ask! :-)

5:52 am

zoozzoom

misdo

5:52 am

rubyfoo

My goal is getting through it to see all the new things l had plante most of which were chosen by the gardener, so there'll be many surprises

5:52 am

zoozzoom

oops sorry everyone

5:53 am

zoozzoom

I think the garden will look beautiful come Spring, ruby!

5:54 am

rubyfoo

He planted 5 azaleas in front where the old ones quit plus plus plus

5:55 am

rubyfoo

I work in the Coroners Service. Recently bereaved people who have never had to deal with coroners before frequently confuse coroners with pathologists, inquests with post-mortems etc. They are vulnerable, confused & grieving. I do my best!

4:14 pm

dcseain

i'm sure you do, Soodle! I have family who are coroners and undertakers. It's hard, but being calm, attending to, and explaining details, etc are part and parcel of the job. They are bereaved, and often confused, as you point out.

Indeed Seain. On a happier note, I met Bugsaw today. What a delightful lady. :-)
