110 down -- good night everyone

1:16 am

sprite

good morning all

1:18 am

sprite

brb, need coffee and am gonna turn the heater on, it is freezing in here

1:26 am

sprite

coffee, warmth and babble... my simple needs filled, how lovely life can be :D

1:30 am

Kamanjah

Mornin' Sprite! We haven't even needed to light our heater yet - the coldest morning so far was one day at 66F. Usually we have to around mid-month, but it looks warm for the next 10 days - at least we'll save on propane! Hope you are getting warmed up!

1:31 am

sprite

all good here, I put on some extra clothes and turned the heater on but on a low setting, just to take the edge off.

1:32 am

sprite

*hugs Kam* How are you doing?

1:33 am

Kamanjah

I had a good two days cooking...now I'm pooped out, and the dishwasher is full of clean dishes...and the sink is full of dirty pans. Stuff in the sink drives me nuts, so tomorrow is cleanup, lol! Too tired tonight, plus the stuff in the dishwasher needs to cool off before putting away

1:33 am

Kamanjah

Are you feeling all better yet?

1:34 am

sprite

tomorrow is early enough, lol. Resting up and hopefully getting a good night's sleep in will do you more good than clean pans.
I am good, not fully there yet but getting there. Less coughing, no fever, some energy to get things done again.

1:35 am

sprite

phantoms: judge and fudge and all those others

1:36 am

Kamanjah

I've tried all of those too, lol!

1:36 am

sprite

lol :D

1:37 am

sprite

one of the great things of babble, one is never alone in anything!

1:38 am

Kamanjah

yep - haha

1:49 am

sprite

am glad the darn flu is on its way out. I am crazy busy this month, from 16 through 24 away from home to various activities. In the week after, I only have an appointment with my therapist, lol, and big crossed through all other days.

1:53 am

sprite

crosses*

1:53 am

Kamanjah

I hope it clears up completely - really soon! I was knocked flat for weeks - finally got my massage/chiro appt set, yay! My body needs it - I looked at the calendar - I'm 6 weeks behind schedule

1:53 am

Kamanjah

it=that flu that bit you

1:54 am

sprite

ugh, no wonder you are in heaps in pain, dear one.

1:54 am

sprite

yeah, got that, grin. I hope so too. Have been ill for weeks too, so it should be gone by the end of this week. Am taking things easy, giving my body time to recover.

1:56 am

Kamanjah

I shocked myself when I called for the appt - my calendar was still marked on the first week of Oct. I hate getting knocked down that hard! I'm still not back - Michael told me tonight he's "out of jeans." I asked why he didn't tell me before..."because I knew you weren't feeling well." He is so sweet and understanding!

1:57 am

sprite

he is a sweetheart, isn't he! Maybe teach him to use the washing machine :) If ne4 be, he can make sure he has a few clean jeans.

1:58 am

Kamanjah

He doesn't invade "my" territory - and the laundry area is pretty much MY area - I use the top of the washer for drying herbs, so I would have to go rearrange everything for him anyway. I don't mind doing the laundry - he does so much other stuff.

1:59 am

Kamanjah

He would manage just fine if I was completely laid up. I just have to keep up with him!

2:00 am

sprite

here I strongly discourage my beloved to do laundry. He is absolutely hopeless when it comes to sorting it. I mean... how hard is it to sort reds, blacks and whites? But he merrily keeps them together.

2:03 am

Kamanjah

I rearranged his tshirt drawer a few weeks back and told him that was the LAST time...- and last week I had a full load of tshirts and the ones I had just refolded were all wadded up again...I tell him to put his own shirts away now...not refolding what I already folded, lol!

2:04 am

sprite

good for you!

2:18 am

sprite

today we will sign the contract with our buyers!

2:19 am

Kamanjah

Yay! That's great news! And a new adventure in life begins!

2:20 am

sprite

very true. It may still go wrong, mind, if they cannot get their mortgage. But I have the feeling it will all work out.

2:20 am

sprite

which reminds me... want to read through the whole contract before going in. Right after babble!

2:21 am

Kamanjah

I don't think your realtor would bring an unqualified buyer

2:22 am

sprite

especially because they already enlisted their own realtor, and he has vetted them before even bringing out their bid. So chances are, the mortgage giver will be happy too.

2:23 am

Kamanjah

The paperwork here is crazy - this is the third place I've owned, and I don't really want to go through selling and moving on again. But, we're talking about leaving California.

2:24 am

sprite

I remember you saying that, yes. Political climate, right? :(

2:24 am

Kamanjah

Buyers are usually prequalified here, especially if they're working with their own realtor.

2:24 am

Kamanjah

Yeah, politics suck.

2:24 am

sprite

here, it is almost the same, but a mortgage giver can still refuse, for whatever reason.

2:25 am

Kamanjah

Michael is working the local precinct tomorrow for the election...he has to be up at 5 and is still wide awake. I don't know how he can manage on less than 5 hours sleep, but he just keeps on truckin'

2:26 am

sprite

he is a true hero :)

2:29 am

Kamanjah

He really is. I can't imagine all he has been through...but it seems that PD and fibro have a lot in common. I met a psychologist from England who was misdiagnosed with fibro...and just found out last year that it is early onset PD. We've talked a lot about symptoms.

2:30 am

sprite

imagine being misdiagnosed and -treated like that. Must have been tough.

2:32 am

sprite

fireflies. Nice grid.

2:32 am

Kamanjah

What scares me is that the one supplement that helps me the most with the fibro is the natural l-dopa - mucuna puriens. After meeting him and knowing what doesn't work with my body and what does, and family history of tremors...I get scared.

2:32 am

Kamanjah

WTG! I finished up before you posted about signing papers...have a lovely day, my dear!

2:33 am

sprite

*hugs Kam and WTG!!!!!*
what is your fear, darling?

2:34 am

Kamanjah

I'll email tomorrow.

2:35 am

sprite

okay :) Luvsya. Will hold you in my thoughts and prayers, as always.
*leaves hug in chog for rose to find*
And to you all, a blessed day and a peaceful night.

It's too bad there isn't something in the HELP section about resizing profile pictures. I bet a lot of people could use an assist on that.

People, please stop the electioneering. I know at least two people here who are upset about it. (I know because I upset them and they knew people who left Babble because of it. This should be a place we can ALL be free to relax and enjoy the play and the chat and not be afraid to look over on the right side (no political pun intended) and find anger and disparagement that may equal theirs. End of rant. I love you all.

6:25 am

Good Morning. Gray and Raining here but I Voted!!!

6:33 am

hi mark. Thanks for the backup. I hate to criticize anything on Babble; it always hurts someone's feelings. I have a feeling I might have to turn off the chat for a few days, though.

6:35 am

Hi becky. Is that the Welsh icon

7:14 am

Trifioso

hello friends! Voting day here in the US - get er done!

7:15 am

beckyj

Yes, it's the Welsh Flag! :)

7:15 am

Trifioso

that is a great pic becky!

7:16 am

jwr

And Trifioso is right too. You are the aesthetic winner today, becky'

7:17 am

Trifioso

becky does indeed win the internet today!

7:17 am

jwr

Though I have to admit that when the flag design is so small and my eyes are so old . . . it looked to me the first time I saw it like a Christmas present.

7:25 am

beckyj

Aww, thanks!

7:25 am

beckyj

Yay! Haha, hope everyone is well :)

7:29 am

Trifioso

just fine here - hoping everyone votes!

7:30 am

beckyj

I would be if I was there!

7:36 am

MollyL

Becky are you an American?

7:37 am

beckyj

Originally/yes :) born and raised there and have now lived in Wales for 10 years!

7:43 am

Trifioso

im such a pest about it....lol

7:43 am

Trifioso

becky, if you don't mind me asking, how has the transition to Welsh living been for you? Are expats welcomed in Wales?

7:44 am

Trifioso

I spent many years in ireland, as an american, so I wonder how other expats fare....

7:48 am

beckyj

It's all good! :) haha! How was Ireland with you? It's been great for the most part to be fair! Obviously I'm only 24 now so I had moved here when I was barely just 13 which was a big 'holy crap!' of a transition but loving it more and more the longer I'm here! :)

7:49 am

beckyj

Everyone is really lovely about it! Almost too nice! Haha! (In the sense that the Welsh are nice nosy and very chatty! lol) so good! Feels like home! :)

7:50 am

beckyj

I feel]

7:50 am

beckyj

I feel]

7:50 am

beckyj

Oops!

7:51 am

Trifioso

ah, my experience was an adult, after I married an Irishman, so rather different - you had to be a "new kid" -- dread!!!! For the most part we were okay, there was one summer when my son wore a bathing suit he got at Old Navy that had an american flag pattern, and someone threw rocks at him on the beach, when he was maybe 12, which REALLY vexed me. I'm sorry you don't like Americans, sir, but did you really need to throw rocks at a CHILD? The last time I was in Belfast, about two years ago, I bought some petrol, and the cashier took my credit card, and refused to give it back until she tore me a new one over trump. I tried to explain that I was NO trump supporter, but she didn't care. SHe wanted/needed to rant, and she did

7:52 am

Trifioso

I miss many things about Ireland - the family and friends I had, the lovely shops (OMG Monsoon for ever!!!!!)

7:52 am

Trifioso

The weather though? Not so much

7:55 am

beckyj

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear they did that! :( some people can be so crummy! As you said, I dealt with being the new kid which was so weird! But I have a thick skin and I'm loud so it wasn't hard to make an impression of the happy person I am! Lol. And of course now, I am with a wonderful Welsh man whom I love dearly and we have our own home and 2 cats! So that with now driving and working in the restaurant, it's just... home! :) I feel like I could hand out FaQ's in work though! Haha. People are always so sweet about it but my god they *all* ask the *same* questions day in day out! Haha, they don't mean bad by it, it's nice but a lot lol

7:57 am

beckyj

Even though I know my accent has been dampened down over the years, I still sound really American to Welsh people so they all ask 'ahh! So where you from then? Why'd you move here? How long have you been here?' etc etc

7:58 am

beckyj

Also, I get the same sometimes too with customers, no matter how many times I tell them I have lived here for 10 years they still want to bash me about Trump or Americans in general and it drives me insane! Lol

7:59 am

beckyj

Sorry, that was much longer than I anticipated! <3

8:00 am

rolin

becky... i've been living in Cardiff for just over a year but have been in the UK for nearly 18.. but people are still picking my aussie origin and i get the same questions too... why do you want to live here..etc...

8:01 am

beckyj

Hey Rolin! Oh my gosh, it's so nice to share this sentiment with someone! You feel me! Haha!

8:02 am

beckyj

It's day in, day out, literally everywhere I go and always the same questions! As I said, it can be nice but I just wish some people weren't so bothered by my accent sometimes lol they're always fascinated!

8:04 am

Buggie

Try being a Brit in France. The French consider british cooking to be the worst thing in the world (most stems from school exchange in England where they discovered fluorescent frozen peas, and jelly). The French are ruthless if they find out you're British. Even some of my closest friends still do it, and don't understand why I get annoyed. And going through school here was horrible, as it would come up most days at lunch.

8:06 am

beckyj

Ugh! Yeah, I thought my transition was bad but I can imagine the French being a millions times worse!! :( hahaha. My oh my!

8:07 am

Buggie

Most times I won't mention I'm not French, as they can't tell from my accent (I was 9 when my family moved here)

8:08 am

Buggie

(although due to Brexit I now have dual nationality, so technically I AM French)

8:10 am

beckyj

I like it! Sometimes that's just easier. I make the joke that there are some phrases I've picked up, especially certain words that sound very Welshy! (Lovely, lush etc) and I go quite Welsh when I'm pissed off! Haha. But unfortunately in a general setting I still stick out like a sore thumb!

8:13 am

Buggie

Everyone adapts to new cultures at different rates. I actually new a French guy, born around here. He'd traveled around a bit, US, Japan, etc. For some unknown reason, he now speaks French with an American accent (you usually only pick up a new accent in the one language)

8:14 am

mattygroves

omygod, I've been in the UK 30 years and I STILL get the same questions and trot out the same answers (no, I'm not originally from here - I'm originally from NY but i've been here 30 years now. Nope, don't now what xyz is like in the US - 30 years. Yep, I know where Wiltshire is, remember, 30 years?)

8:14 am

Buggie

30 years !? you're more British than I am French

8:16 am

beckyj

Yes Matt!!! You hit the nail on the head! I can't believe that you still get it too! I forgot about that but I get that question too! "Aww, you probably don't know where it is but we're from xyz!" and it's 30 mins down the road -.- haha!

8:17 am

mattygroves

Yep - since August 1988, married in October '88 (separated in October 2012 and divorced 2 years later, but that's besides the point). And yes, I love it here. Yep, been here all my adult life, and no, I don't know where to drink in NY - left before I was 21 (I spent a year in Germany before I got here)

8:17 am

beckyj

And I get that too "oh wow!!! What do you recommend in Seattle!?" I don't know man!! LIVED HERE SINCE I WAS 13!! I haven't had the chance to go back since (but am planning a trip next year!) and its like they expected me to have been there yesterday!

8:17 am

mattygroves

"Why in the world did you come here"...'married an Englishman. Not this one; I traded up"

8:18 am

mattygroves

I too have dual nationality (American/UK) - have voted in the US, and may renounce (because filing taxes every year is a bitch)

8:18 am

beckyj

Oh my gooooosh, it is genuinely so nice to share this with you guys!! <3 I didn't know anyone else was getting it like me! Haha! Thanks for sharing everyone! :) xo

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Hello matty, buggle, and becky.

8:19 am

beckyj

Hey, Scrabbler!

8:19 am

Scrabbler

And are you still here, rolin?

8:19 am

Buggie

Hey :)

8:20 am

mattygroves

Hiya!

8:20 am

mattygroves

Yeah also: 'no, I don't miss NY.' 'yes, there are things I miss (decent plumbing, wide roads, big washing machines). And yes, I really hate British plumbing, but love most everything else (apart from Brexit)

8:21 am

beckyj

Love it! Haha! Same same same!

8:22 am

MollyL

I'm almost afraid to ask, but what is it that I don't know about British plumbing?

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Visiting the UK is on my bucket list, not the tourist places, but the countryside.

8:23 am

jaxx7

You might be unlucky there Scrabbler as there are so many houses being built on greenfield sites.

8:23 am

beckyj

Come to Wales, Scrabbler! It's beautiful!

8:23 am

jaxx7

Scotland is too.

8:24 am

beckyj

Scotlands on my list! :)

8:24 am

jaxx7

A wonderful craggy country.

8:24 am

Scrabbler

Someday...my mother is 87 and I cannot leave the country. She gets upset if I travel 6 hrs away for a week.

8:25 am

beckyj

One day :) <3

8:26 am

beckyj

Plenty of time later for travelling.

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Yes.

8:29 am

Scrabbler

What a shame that the word egg is there without an s.

8:29 am

Buggie

I think the British plumbing thing is the seperate taps for hot and cold. I don't think any other country still has that. I hate that too.

8:31 am

mattygroves

That and water pressure. Cold water tanks (rather than everything from the mains). The kitchen sink draining into a hole outside which gets clogged with leaves....

8:31 am

Scrabbler

Do you know if newly installed plumbing still has that?

8:31 am

mattygroves

Where in Wales are you, Becky?

8:31 am

Haz1558

We can get mixer taps now but grew up with separate taps. Never saw it as a problem because it was all we had.

8:32 am

beckyj

That's what I was going to say about the plumbing, too! The only thing that really annoys me. Literally everywhere you go is dual taps and it drives me nuts. Just combine them!! They don't need to be separate!

8:32 am

Haz1558

Most people would have mixers, I think.

8:32 am

Buggie

cold water tanks? That's something I've never come across, though admittedly my experience in the UK is limited.

8:33 am

beckyj

We moved into a fairly new house (it's about 10 years old) and they are like that and you have to spend a butt load for a new sink.

8:33 am

beckyj

Also, I'm about 20 minutes from Swansea, Matty! :)

8:34 am

Buggie

I read somewhere that the seperate taps were because of the hot water not being drinkable due to the old heating tanks. So it was to avoid poisoning yourself when drinking from the cold tap. Not sure how true that is

8:35 am

Scrabbler

Hi Haz!

8:36 am

beckyj

That's what I heard to but it seems like such an old wives tale now. Britain is so old fashioned! Pros and cons included of course.

8:36 am

Haz1558

Hello, Scrabbler!

8:36 am

welki

morning, troops

8:37 am

beckyj

On that note, I unfortunately have to get ready for work everyone! Thanks for the wonderful chat! <3 have a nice day everyone! :)

8:37 am

Haz1558

Hello, welki.

8:37 am

Flask1

Hi everyone....just been following the chat, with some interest, now am beginning to feel like I live in a third world country.....because we're so backward!!

8:38 am

Flask1

Hi Haz!

8:38 am

Haz1558

Is your blood pressure rising, Flask?

8:38 am

Haz1558

I feel very defensive!

8:38 am

Flask1

You better believe it, yours too?

8:39 am

Haz1558

Who knew plumbing would have me annoyed?

8:39 am

Scrabbler

Welki, how are you recovering?

8:40 am

Buggie

Oh France has plenty of bad things too. The French prefer to have the toilet in a (tiny) seperate room. Having worked in a hotel here, there are a lot of complaints about that lol - they do have mixer taps though ;)

8:40 am

Haz1558

Not really annoyed, just a bit touchy. Nobody UN's down our tap arrangements...

8:40 am

Flask1

I hope there wereno plumbers here at the time!!

8:41 am

Haz1558

I remember being traumatized by flush and run loos in France.

Yes, ruru, in Reseda. They sent photos from Santa Monica Beach from Sunday.

9:07 am

9:07 am

Scrabbler

I vote at a lodge in a park, about 1.5 miles of hiking from here.

rururocks

9:10 am

rururocks

so much easier.. and mistake free

9:12 am

Scrabbler

Where I go, there are a bunch of little old ladies with baked goods, and a fireplace roaring.

9:12 am

bonkler

i think that with the advent of social media and online echo chambers, the easy dissemination of persuasive lies that democracies around the world are facing unheard of challenges. with the sheer power of force that america wields, it's more terrifying for her neighbours, allies and enemies. the trump era will go down in history as one of the strangest and most dangerous shifts in the presidential history books

9:13 am

rururocks

I can see that.. and we thought George Bush JR did enough damage.. little did we know

9:16 am

rururocks

I think the Republicans pushing Kavanaugh in .. is going to come back to haunt them for a long time

9:18 am

rururocks

baked goods and a fireplace would draw me in scrabs

9:20 am
