Hi there, sprite.

1:27 am

gapeach

et al

1:28 am

sprite

*hugs peach* I talked to zooz yesterday and he said to thank you for your concern, he appreciates it. He is okay, not great but plodding along.

1:37 am

gapeach

Thanks, sprite. I'm sending vibes and prayers. I feel badly for what he is going through. I guess we all have our "bears to cross" and vice versa. LOL

1:38 am

sprite

*giggles* Nice one. Yeah, it is true, we do. In some way, each of us is fighting a tough battle.

1:40 am

gapeach

Yep. The wonderfulness of it is that we have great people to talk with.

1:41 am

sprite

the babble community is a rare place, with an amazing amount of support and caring

1:42 am

Kamanjah

True, that!

1:42 am

Kamanjah

I just came back and finished up, so good morning, or evening, depending on your location!

1:42 am

sprite

*hugs Kam* Hello dear one, how are you today? How is the eye and the overall aches and pains?

1:43 am

gapeach

Good morning, Kam.

1:43 am

Kamanjah

Eye opened a bit, overall...well, I'm more sore. At least I'm a little more balanced with the eye starting to open, lol!

1:43 am

gapeach

I need food.....brb.

1:43 am

grannyrose

cooee and {{{{sprite}}}}} {{{{{kam}}}}} {{{{peach}}}}}

1:44 am

sprite

easy does it, Kam, gentle movements throughout the day.

1:45 am

sprite

Well finallllllly there she is! LOL.
*hugs rose* Was starting to think I lost your love ;)
How've you been and how are you doing today?

1:45 am

Kamanjah

Hubs helped get his jeans washed. That's all I did today.

1:45 am

sprite

plenty for one day, Kam, right now.

1:47 am

grannyrose

you can never lose my love sweetie... it is yours forever and ever... lolll have been very tired. appointment with doc john next wed. sleep has been decidedly interrupted feel like i moving through wet concrete.....

1:48 am

sprite

I know, sweetie, just kidding. I already thought you were very tired, said as much to zooz yesterday. *sending you energising vibes*

1:48 am

grannyrose

kam, prayers are with you my dear.

1:51 am

grannyrose

what have you and Rob been up to, sprite? and how are you feeling? flu on it's way out, i hope?

1:53 am

harpjane

found a flightless bird

1:54 am

sprite

yes it is. Still coughing too much though. But less often. Rob is working and comes home pooped. I feel out of energy after getting groceries and cooking, so I am taking things a little easy still too. Signed the sell contract day before yesterday. Now the 3 days' legal time for the buyers to change their minds are running. Tuesday, the sale will be final on condition of financing.

1:54 am

sprite

lol, good one, jane

1:55 am

sprite

rose, is this the appointment you already had with dr John, or are you going in for your infusion wednesday? And if not infusion, when?

1:57 am

gapeach

I'm back.

1:57 am

sprite

wb peach

1:58 am

grannyrose

not for infusion. stuff got out of hand last week... too tired. when i see him, i will book in for infusion. i really need to get the paper work into workcover for the procedure on my knee.

1:59 am

sprite

*crosses arms and stares at rose in a very stern-mum-way* You promised you'd set an appointment for the infusion, little lady.

2:01 am

grannyrose

i know i did, but other stuff got in the way, as life does. i just grit my teeth and swallow more endone. if i don't get the paperwork into workcover i may have to wait until next year for a response to have my knee nerve desensitised. and i don't want that...

2:03 am

sprite

call tomorrow for the infusion, honey. Not smart to wait another week. And yeah, I hear ya, that darn paperwork has to be done asap. Let Don help you. Paperwork is bad enough, and I know your head does the same thing as mine and goes on strike when confronted with it.

2:04 am

sprite

no worries, Pearl, and hi

2:05 am

grannyrose

2:06 am

grannyrose

lol... we spell them with a k instead of the qu

2:06 am

sprite

am gonna sit down and make a tough phonecall and write two tough emails. Will be better to get things out of the way.

2:06 am

sprite

yeah, I think the Q is another of enable's quirks.

2:07 am

grannyrose

when you can email about what you are having to do... meanwhile holding you close to my heart, honey

2:08 am

sprite

lol, will do that first :D
Bye all, *hugs* for who wants them. Kam, I hope you will start feeling a little better soon.

2:08 am

grannyrose

xoxox dearest.

2:08 am

sprite

to you all, a blessed day and a peaceful night. And an extra hug for my bestie Rose

2:14 am

gapeach

Sweet dreams, sprite. Yes, I would love a hug. Thank you.

Sad news out of California. When will we start addressing the sad state of mental health in our world?

6:46 am

mkg

what happened in calif please?

6:48 am

ChampFit

Gunman in a country western bar...13 dead.

6:48 am

ChampFit

He is too, btw.

7:23 am

Trifioso

hello friends! administering state testing for the next five days, so hoping for HUGE grids....please take note, dr god!

7:27 am

welki

morning, trif

7:28 am

Trifioso

good morning welki - so sad about california, just checking on news now

7:28 am

bichon

good morning marvelous babblers

7:28 am

Trifioso

good morning bichon

7:28 am

welki

horrible news yet again

7:28 am

welki

hi bich

7:29 am

Trifioso

everything in the us seems determined by money, sadly - when people stop coming here, when people stop going out, when the money train dries up - THAT is when the powers that be will start addressing the violence

7:33 am

welki

i wish i could do an i dream of jeannie move, snap my fingers, and get rid of personally owned semi-automatic weapons and explosives.

7:35 am

welki

wouldn't take care of everything, for sure. like molly said, the mentally ill need to be taken care of

7:35 am

Uneaixoise

This time it was a handgun

7:36 am

welki

how'd he get off that many shots?

7:36 am

Uneaixoise

No idea :-(

7:36 am

Trifioso

and yet our fool in charge continues to rant about foreigners and terrorists with brown skin - meanwhile, mass murderer after mass murderer is what? A white conservative.

7:37 am

welki

maybe a semi-automatic pistol - some can shoot up to 16

7:37 am

welki

bullets

7:37 am

ladycece920

and it sounds like he changed clips during the rampage

7:38 am

welki

*big sigh*

i need more than one fingersnap from jeannie

7:39 am

Trifioso

if he was sane enough to plan the attack out, go there, execute the attack, AND change clips, the "mentally ill" excuse doesn't hold much water with me

7:39 am

welki

we had a bombing in edmonton a couple of days ago - lots of rumors, but little factual information being provided

7:40 am

ladycece920

i agree Trif

7:42 am

welki

i hear you - torn between the anger and wonder (that if they are ill, and had been diagnosed, if these massacres would lessen)

7:43 am

Trifioso

in other news, I got yet another side gig, as the costume designer for a local high school theatre program. They are doing Mamma Mia, and the show opens next weekend - I am up to my eyeballs in fabulousness, and it seems they followed me to the grid! se6.27

7:44 am

Trifioso

i have so many jobs it's STOOPID but it is how I make ends meet, so there you go

7:47 am

Uneaixoise

Feather boas aplenty, Trif? :-)

7:47 am

Trifioso

funnily enough, we aren't really using many feathers! LOTS of sequins, satins, neoprene, hologram fabrics, and ohhhhh the ruffles!

7:48 am

Trifioso

thank GOD for local thrift stores! Found absolutely PLATFORMS for each of the lead ladies, seven inches high! Those poor girls having to dance in them, oy!

7:48 am

ChampFit

I just saw some black and white feather boas in my garage yesterday! Sorry you don't need them. :)

7:48 am

welki

i can't sew for love or money - tried to make my kids dolls when they were little and they came out looking like mr. bill

7:48 am

Trifioso

lol champ, you have fun with them!!!!

7:49 am

Trifioso

mr bill was delightful!

7:49 am

ChampFit

How can you not have fun when you're wearing a boa? Now that I think of it, may need to pack them for my girls' trip this weekend. They'll love it!

7:52 am

Trifioso

im thinking mr champ, (or mrs champ, I don't judge....) might enjoy you wearing them - and ONLY them - as well!

7:53 am

ChampFit

Ooooh...now there's something to spice things up! Then I only need to keep a couple. We ARE empty nesters finally, after all! :)

7:53 am

Trifioso

GET IT GIRL!!!!!

7:54 am

ChampFit

HA!!!!!!!!! Was just thinking this morning, thank GOODNESS he's funny! The man can still make me laugh. How boring it would be otherwise!

7:56 am

Trifioso

I know, right? My beloved and I are fooooools, and it works for us, and we are so giggly and silly

7:57 am

ChampFit

:) Forever is a long time...might as well enjoy it!

8:13 am

phaeton

hello...stats for the corner i pls

8:13 am

Trifioso

two ir4s, both having to do with anger

8:14 am

phaeton

ty

8:14 am

Trifioso

no problem at all, phae - its rare when I can help, or give a worthwhile clue, so I am happy to do it

8:17 am

phaeton

Wow...if you want to help, come help me pack up my house and my car for my temporary move. ;-)

8:20 am

Trifioso

funnily enough, I am GREAT at packing other people! Myself, no so much.

8:21 am

Trifioso

We are off this weekend, in fact, to go see my stepson's new house in vermont - which he does not plan to heat until the absolute dead of winter, so this should be interesting. Like indoor camping

8:21 am

phaeton

Supposed to snow here, hoping not too much. Traveling through the UP on Saturday

8:23 am

Trifioso

I am so NOT a princess, but even I have my limits - one time we went to visit son in a house he was renting with six other guys. We were given a fold out couch to sleep on, whatever. it was not at all comfortable,but we went with it. The next morning, the guys asked how it was, and, trying to be good sports, we said fine, no problem, whatever.....to which they answered "Oh, that is good! We found it in a dumpster behind a diner, and no one has tried it yet."

8:24 am

Trifioso

Sometimes there just isn't enough soap. OR hot water.

8:24 am

phaeton

I got one of those once, but it smelled like the dumpster and I made the guys take it back. lol

8:25 am

Trifioso

I will say that I took one look at the bathroom at that house, and chose to bathe in the river behind the house. It seemed less risky.

8:25 am

SamanthaJoy

You're cracking me up, Trif

8:26 am

Trifioso

im a good time, for sure. lol

8:26 am

bichon

Know it all to well Trif

8:27 am

welki

where in vermont, trif? one of my kids is in bennington

8:27 am

SamanthaJoy

I have ra and re 8s. Does anyone know which I'm missing?

8:27 am

Trifioso

im serious about the river thing, though - between being seen naked by strangers and chancing that shower, I chose the neighbors. God help them, if a glance at my 50 year old fat ass was the highlight of their day

8:27 am

Trifioso

8:39 am

Trifioso

8:39 am

72 Temple Owl

8:39 am

8:40 am

72 Temple Owl

8:40 am

welki

i'm okay, owl - thanks

8:40 am

72 Temple Owl

it's been a bit slow lately, though, don't you think?

8:41 am

Trifioso

I just googled the town, the population is 1099 people, so with our arrival we will put them over the 2k mark, wahoo!

8:42 am

Trifioso

we are bringing the idiot dog with us, this will either go just fine or be a disaster. There really is no middle ground

8:42 am

72 Temple Owl

o.0

8:42 am

welki

my daughter adopted her dog from a rescue in w. windsor

8:43 am

welki

and yes, owl, the show has been plodding along

8:43 am

Trifioso

good grief - "in keeping with the town's rural character, 90% of the roads are unpaved"

8:44 am

72 Temple Owl

oh my! do they gave wifi? cell?

8:44 am

welki

cover your windshield with kevlar!

8:54 am

MLFAN17

I am not asking for a specific clue..is the 9 a compound word?

8:55 am

72 Temple Owl

seinfeld fans: can you pot the classic trivial pursuit answer that sparked the bubble boy brawl?

m9f9l

Now I really want crÃ¨me brÃ»lÃ©e

9:05 am

MLFAN17

hi judi

9:06 am

Trifioso

m9f9l - if you can find it in a store near you, RUN do not walk to try Oui yogurt -- the little minis, especially the salted caramel flavor, it is HEAVEN

9:10 am

m9f9l

I'll have to try it, the ingredients look ok. I just finished off a tub of ZOI honey yogurt a few minutes ago. MMmmmm

9:11 am

MLFAN17

clue for the 9 pls?

9:11 am

Judi

I think I missed what the 9 started with. Can someone replay that for me?

9:12 am

9:13 am

rururocks

it's RA9 in case you're still wondering

9:14 am

welki

phooey - neither of those yogurts are available here

9:14 am

72 Temple Owl

oui yogurt - the pineapple is like no other. i love it.

9:15 am

Judi

Isn't Oui the one in the glass jar?

9:15 am

MLFAN17

owl I haven't tried that brand of yogurt yet..actually haven't ha d yogurt in quite a while

9:15 am

MLFAN17

yes it is judi and its French

9:16 am

Judi

I've seen it. I'm sure it's probably good, but the glass jar thing is rather pretentious.

9:16 am

m9f9l

I love the ZOI plain yogurt with a little honey drizzled over it and some walnuts. THat is SO god.

9:16 am

rururocks

did the oui tip you off on that mlf ? :D

9:17 am

m9f9l

*good

9:17 am

MLFAN17

and if I am not mistaken they are not cheap?

9:17 am

rururocks

I didn't know you could find god in the dairy section

9:17 am

72 Temple Owl

wish it weren't so costly, but the glass is more recycleable than plastic, i like that.

9:17 am

MLFAN17

no ruru it didnt

9:17 am

MLFAN17

anyway, I have to go will be back..

9:18 am

m9f9l

it says it's "french style" it's made by General Mills.

9:18 am

72 Temple Owl

reminds me, it;s on sale at shoprite this week.

9:18 am

Judi

The have some in plastic too. It's called "Non".

9:18 am

m9f9l

You can find God anywhere ;)

9:19 am

72 Temple Owl

i wish they would go back to waxed paper cartons. they went back to them for milk.

9:20 am

welki

as long as you're wishing for that, could you also ask for the old, bigger size cups of yogurt?

9:21 am

72 Temple Owl

why yes. yes i can. 8 oz. *sigh*

9:21 am

welki

all we can get here is those teeny cups

9:21 am

rururocks

those are for models welki

9:22 am

72 Temple Owl

yogurt is so light, it's certainly not a matter of calories. it's $$$

9:22 am

72 Temple Owl

but then again, it's been bastardized like so many other things that achieve commercial success.

9:23 am

welki

this portion control thing has gotten out of hand - instead of eating decent portions at mealtime (and waiting until the next meal to eat)

9:23 am

72 Temple Owl

and yet in us, people are heavier than ever.

9:24 am

welki

people eat tiny portions and expect the energy from them to last 6 hours. i get the small, frequent meal thing - but ....

9:24 am

welki

as you know, owl, i'm no lightweight :D

9:25 am

72 Temple Owl

aww... i am putting on weight to look healthier as i age. taht's my story and i'm sticking to it.

9:26 am

72 Temple Owl

or maybe to fill out all the wrinkles and creases ;)

9:28 am

welki

feh. i get too stressed out about diet - low carbs, watch the sugar, blah blah blah

9:29 am

rururocks

it's really hard to drop weight when you're older.. the metabolism is just screwy

9:29 am

72 Temple Owl

me too. it's to the point where i do not enjoy cooking and meal planning. so then i snack.

9:29 am

Judi

I'm thinking of hiring a personal trainer at the local gym. I need someone to motivate me to exercise and lose weight.

9:29 am

welki

but i do wish i'd had developed better eating habits as a child

9:30 am

Judi

There's just too much temptation out there, Welki.

9:30 am

72 Temple Owl

judi i think that is a great idea. i've thought of that as well.

9:30 am

welki

i don't need a personal trainer, i need a locked-down program for a few months *lol*

9:31 am

72 Temple Owl

hahahahahaha

9:31 am

welki

*pictures herself wailing at the barred windows*

9:31 am

Judi

Fatty Boot Camp. That's what I need.

9:31 am

welki

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease - just one kitkat!

9:32 am

72 Temple Owl

poeple PAY big $$$ for that. it's called spa retreat

9:33 am

Judi

Pffth. Spa my butt.

9:33 am

welki

cut and pasted joke:

I went to the doctor and he said "don't eat anything fatty."
I asked " No bacon? No burgers?!"

To which he replied "No fatty, just don't eat anything! "

9:33 am

72 Temple Owl

they pay to be shamed into exercising and wating beautiful plates of organic veggies.

9:33 am

72 Temple Owl

well, yes. exactly.

9:33 am

72 Temple Owl

uh oh.*groan*

9:33 am

welki

(waits to be shamed for posting that)

9:34 am

Judi

LOL, Welki! If only it were that easy.

9:34 am

72 Temple Owl

you have offended nearly the entire of the USA you cheecky canadian.

9:34 am

welki

but it did make me laugh when i read it - must have identified with it *LOL*

9:35 am

welki

i've probably offended most of canada, too - go big or go home, welki!

9:35 am

72 Temple Owl

i was jeggings shopping and i have gone up 2 sizes. not that i need to, just "for comfort" and "in case they shrink"

9:35 am

Haz1558

I think the problem is that women of a certain age don't wear corsets any more. Once you're all sucked in you don't feel so lumpy, apparently.

9:36 am

welki

i'll try not to make fat jokes - overweight people have too much on their plate already :)

9:36 am

Judi

There's gotta be a 12-step program. "Hi. My name is Judi and I'm... sedentary."

9:36 am

Haz1558

My mother came through the 2nd world war, but apparently always put her corsets on during an air raid. She was in her teens at the time!

i am just getting back to the gm after my broken toe. it's difficult to begin again.

9:37 am

Haz1558

'Pleasantly plump, welki.

9:37 am

Judi

They still have corsets. Now they're just called Spanx.

9:37 am

welki

oh owl, probably scared you'll injure it again! i'm not looking forward to physio when i can walk again

9:37 am

welki

ok, haz - pleasantly plump - built for comfort, not speed

9:38 am

72 Temple Owl

lol haz! i can remember a college classmate struggling into one. but then again, we all wore something along those lines. now it's time to be free. free to jiggle like a bowl of jello.

9:38 am

Haz1558

You probably use up calories getting those Spanx things on and off.

9:38 am

Haz1558

The absolute WORST is trying on clothes in a dressing room with a rear view mirror. Horror.

9:39 am

72 Temple Owl

lol have you seen the video of a women doing just that?

9:39 am

Judi

I had one experience with Spanx. It ended up in the trash and I ended up sweaty and red in the face.

9:39 am

72 Temple Owl

bathing suits. i got into one first time i 10 years to go to a water class.

9:39 am

Haz1558

I have a slip thing. I honestly thought I was going to have to be cut out of it. Pride does feel pain.

9:40 am

72 Temple Owl

ROFL

9:40 am

welki

hehehe - some of you know i like to flyfish. flyfishing sometimes involved wading in the water, wearing a pair of neoprene waders...

9:41 am

welki

my husband thought it would be a good idea to see if his fit me - he was a skinny thing then. well, they were so tight, and i began to sweat which made it nearly impossible to get them off - i looked like a brown pillsbury doughboy

9:42 am

welki

there i was, lying on my back with him pulling at the feet - there should have been video

9:42 am

Judi

*** giggling ****

9:42 am

welki

neoprene is elastic - if they'd come off suddenly, he'd still be orbiting the earth

9:42 am

Judi

The struggle is real.

9:43 am

72 Temple Owl

omg

9:43 am

MLFAN17

hello again

9:43 am

Haz1558

What on earth would you have put on the insurance forms, welki?

9:43 am

welki

there'd have been no need, haz. i'd have died of shame

9:43 am

Haz1558

(a) my husband is missing (b) it was the waders that did it.

9:43 am

Judi

Cause of death: neoprene suffocation.

9:44 am

Haz1558

What a mystery. One man missing and a dead wife with neoprene waders.

9:44 am

72 Temple Owl

has anyone ever had to get a saleswoman to help them out of a garment?

9:44 am

Haz1558

NO! Have you?

9:44 am

welki

not yet, owl

9:45 am

Judi

Oh, dear. Never had that experience, TO.

9:45 am

MLFAN17

oh sorry you were talking about the oui yogurt not the 9

9:45 am

MLFAN17

true French style

9:46 am

welki

*waiting for owl's evacuation story*

9:46 am

Trifioso

Im excited now - fifteen minutes til lunch, and my darling little yogurt ,waiting for me!

9:47 am

welki

headline: woman forcefully evacuated from body shaper. assistance from saleswoman futile. heavy extrication crew called in.

9:47 am

72 Temple Owl

um, jus tasking.

9:47 am

MLFAN17

I just had meatballs with noodles and gravy

9:47 am

72 Temple Owl

it was a sports bra. it happened to a friend.

9:48 am

Haz1558

(Settling down for the story)

9:49 am

Judi

Suuuuuurrrre it did.

9:49 am

72 Temple Owl

walmart is a bad place to look for assistance of any sort.

9:49 am

Judi

Sports bras can be a bitch to get off. I had a struggle with one. Threw out my back.

9:49 am

72 Temple Owl

so i'v e heard,

9:51 am

72 Temple Owl

anyway, it pales in comparison to death by neoprene.

9:51 am

Haz1558

A bit ironic that you get an injury from a sports bra that then stops you exercising.

9:52 am

welki

thinking the same thing. perhaps the sport is in the garment - a new olympic venue

9:53 am

Judi

Yes. The irony was not lost on me. Easy to put on, nearly impossible to get off when you're sweaty.

9:54 am

Haz1558

I know. The more you sweat and struggle, the tighter the grip from the blessed garment.

9:54 am

Judi

Might as well just wear duct tape.

9:54 am

rururocks

well at least you got that story off your chest

9:55 am

Judi

It was the breast workout ever!

9:56 am

welki

it was a DDDelightful chat this morning

9:57 am

Judi

If I hire a personal trainer, does that mean I need a training bra?

9:58 am

welki

if you want to rein the girls in, yes

9:59 am

Judi

They do tend to get in the way if they aren't trapped in spandex.

10:00 am

rururocks

this certainly has been a titillating discussion

10:00 am

Trifioso

it is good to keep abreast of the lastest news in women's clothing

10:01 am

Trifioso

10:06 am

MLFAN17
