hurshy

ahhh the dreaded 14

12:40 am

hurshy

cnan, ever since i switched to going systematically left to right, top to bottom, instead of random finding, i find that i may be a little slower at the start, but i keep on more steadily and get more words in one pass - well there IS such a thing as one clear pass, too

12:41 am

hurshy

we have one 7 and one 8 left uncalled

12:42 am

vashongin

hmmm....I have all the 7s

12:47 am

hurshy

12:49 am

hurshy

12:50 am

hurshy

B's Banished!

12:50 am

vashongin

12:50 am

hurshy

i may need a bit of a pointer for that an7

12:52 am

Gillie

It

12:53 am

Gillie

It's another name for an aardvark.

12:57 am

hurshy

had to google but once i saw it i remembered seeing it in previous grids, thanks Gillie

12:58 am

hurshy

are you a Gillie as in Gillian or a Gillie like the Scottish person who guides people when they fish or hunt?

1:00 am

dcseain

i'm be7.44 :)

1:00 am

sprite

good morning all

1:01 am

dcseain

morning, sprite

1:01 am

sprite

hello dcseain

1:04 am

Kamanjah

Hi Sprite! How are you doing today?

1:04 am

sprite

*hugs Kam* Okayish, still in a lot of pain. But otherwise okay. And you? And your beloved?

1:05 am

Kamanjah

Not bad. It just started raining again, and we hadn't gotten everything closed up...oops! Wet stuff...it happens.
Sorry you're hurting.

1:06 am

sprite

oops! Hope it is all stuff that will not hurt from the wetness.

1:07 am

dcseain

It started rainng here at noon on Thursday, it's still rainng, and will into the afternoon here -- another 12h or so.

1:08 am

Kamanjah

We weren't expecting rain for 2 more days...it will dry eventually. Michael went out and covered up and closed up.

1:09 am

sprite

weather forecasts... never trust them, lol

1:09 am

Kamanjah

We had our driveway redone, and it changed the water flow of the yard. It was supposed to keep water off the driveway...have to call the guy to come back out and see what he did... and fix it. We're flooding right where we park, ugh!

1:11 am

sprite

that sucks :(

1:12 am

Kamanjah

I wouldn't have even known it was raining if a cat hadn't come in...soaking wet.

1:12 am

sprite

aw poor thing

1:13 am

Kamanjah

Yeah, this guy did our neighbor's driveways, and they're perfect! I don't guess he could have known from the lay of the land - it's really an odd way that it's flooding, and he trenched it well. We think we have a spring somewhere, and it seems to be "leaking" closer to the house this year.

1:14 am

Kamanjah

Cat didn't mind, lol! He wasn't too happy about getting his feet "wrung out" - I squeeze the water out with a towel.

1:14 am

Kamanjah

He knows the routine, and lifts the next foot...

1:14 am

sprite

thinking: let's get it over with, stupid humans...

1:15 am

Kamanjah

hahaha

1:17 am

ursh

haha kam my old ginger boy spits and hisses while you drying him off and when you stop he comes back for me and spits and hisses again !!

1:18 am

ursh

*for more

1:18 am

grannyrose

cooee and lots 'n' lots of hugs and kisses to two very special ladies. {{{sprite}}}} {{{{kam}}}}

1:18 am

sprite

*giggles* so cute

1:19 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello my dearest friend. Great to see you. How are you doing? Any news on the prescription?

1:20 am

grannyrose

nope.... nothing yet, and before you ask, there is no-one i can pester. wish there was...it is a government department..

1:20 am

Kamanjah

My guy is about 12, and is used to the routine when he's wet. We don't get all that much rain most years, and he hasn't come in completely drenched in several years, but he doesn't care if his feet are sopping mud pies. I have towels all over!

1:21 am

grannyrose

we finished wrapping the kiddies presents today. just all the chocolates and money gifts to go, and our two KK gifts.

1:21 am

sprite

ugh rose :( So... to the gp for another shortterm script?

1:22 am

ursh

Mine is now 17 and you would think he knows the routine but still finds the process worthy of hissing and spitting - gotta love them

1:22 am

grannyrose

i am not sure if my boys are gonna be talking to me after the gifts are unwrapped. lots of noise makers...loll oh i love being a granny.. i can escape...loll

1:23 am

sprite

it is a matter of principle, ursh :)

1:23 am

grannyrose

sprite, have a short term script already, have another weeks worth of tabs on habd.

1:23 am

sprite

lol rose! Parents will curse you, kids will love you forever.

1:24 am

ursh

this is true sprite and he has very high principles

1:24 am

Kamanjah

Ursh, each one is different, too. I've had cats all of my life - and so has hubby. When we first got together, we each had four! We're down to one each now - old age and illnesses took their toll over the years.

1:25 am

grannyrose

penny whistles, thunder drums, football rattles, little asian drums which you spin between your hand to make the little ball hit the drum.

1:25 am

sprite

okay rose, as long as you won't be left stranded in the middle of the festivities.

1:25 am

ursh

Yip me too Kam - we have 4 now - just recently lost an 18 year old - and the 17 year old is on borrowed time - he is very large and back legs not coping with old age :(

1:26 am

sprite

it is always tough to say goodbye to longtime pets... they are our fur babies.

1:27 am

grannyrose

then there are the kites, and an internal combustion engine model for Deacon, lego for Braxton and Sophia, a book on how to balloon animals, paper plane folding. yup, the daddies are gonna be very busy ...loll

1:27 am

sprite

*is suddenly very happy the children are grown and left the house... and grannyrose cannot do her magic there...*

1:27 am

sprite

good. Dads should work their asses off for their kids with projects like that.

1:27 am

Kamanjah

Sorry to hear, ursh. I lost my favorite boy a few years ago - he was the most awesome cat ever - for me. Hubby has his own character cat now, and that boy is Daddy's Boy!

1:28 am

grannyrose

oh hurshy, that's so ha4 to know it is in the near future. i still weep a little when i look at the portrait of my two fur babies..

1:29 am

sprite

ursh* :D

1:29 am

grannyrose

just you wait sprite..... you become a granny and i will be there like a shot. that grandkiddie is gonna have THREE grannies.

1:29 am

hurshy

(don't mix up ursh and hurshy haha)

1:30 am

sprite

*grins* Hello dear Hursh!

1:30 am

grannyrose

ugh...*urshy* sorry love

1:30 am

sprite

oh, please do, rose. Will love to share!

1:30 am

grannyrose

and heerrreeees HURSHY....

1:34 am

grannyrose

and i solved the DIL's christmas gifts. soft pink tulle skin scourers with some nice smelling bath salts. i just wanted to make a gesture, nothing more.

1:36 am

sprite

that is a very sweet and thoughtful gift, darling

1:39 am

grannyrose

it's very difficult. my instinct is to splurge ++++, but the kids feel very uncomfortable with the idea. the boys are getting metal plaques, about the size of a car number plate, aged and rusted, with old-fashioned pics of women in 1940's clothes, pretending to tinker with motors etc.

1:40 am

sprite

the day after christmas (27th) caya and tim and lisa are gonna visit us here, and we are gonna make a late alternative christmas dinner. Tim and caya will do the appetizers, rob and I the main course and tim and lisa the desserts. Yes, Tim has volunteered for two!

1:40 am

sprite

oh, lovely!

1:40 am

grannyrose

*faints* take the boys temperature....is he feverish?

1:41 am

sprite

growing up, I think, rose :D :D
Seems we are gonna have an italian-themed dinner. Am really looking forward to it.

1:41 am

grannyrose

tell Tim i said to google christmas cheese cakes. the one Kerry made for our parish lunch was to die for.

1:42 am

sprite

nah, I am letting them do their thing. Much more fun for them to not feel pushed by mother.

1:43 am

grannyrose

not being pushed by mother, being pushed by "granny"

1:43 am

sprite

*giggles* true, dat.

1:46 am

sprite

tomorrow is the workshop on self-sufficient housing! Looking forward to it. As a former university student I have offered to take notes, and asked Rob to take pictures of slides etc and ask questions.

1:48 am

grannyrose

wow !! can't wait to he4 what you are found out.

1:49 am

sprite

me neither. And the nicest thing is, the man is so enthusiastic, he is available for questions ever after. We can email or app him and he will try to help. His network is huge, so... good contact to have too!

1:51 am

grannyrose

good one sprite. btw, what are you going to do for network access when you are in the tent?

1:51 am

Kamanjah

That should be interesting! I'm glad there's extra support for questions that crop up later, too.

1:52 am

sprite

we also learned there is a 'tiny house academy' that offers interesting courses as well. We might go for that once we are in the caravan (and have money for it, and much lower costs of living)

1:55 am

grannyrose

i don't think i ever told you, sprite. a friend of mine lived with her husband, AND two young children in a tiny house for 2 years while her DH was building their house.she seemed to cope very well.

1:56 am

sprite

awesome, rose! If she has any great advice, we are eager to hear it :D

1:57 am

grannyrose

mwah, darling. unfortunately she died 15 years ago... cervical cancer. she thought she was immortal, and did not find time for her pap smears.it tore my heart apart .

1:58 am

sprite

omg rose, I am so sorry!

1:59 am

sprite

shouldn't have commented so carelessly. *hugs*

1:59 am

grannyrose

hence my empathy for others who are dealing with the loss of a friend or family member. i have been through it all.

1:59 am

grannyrose

aww sweetheart, you weren't to know.

2:00 am

sprite

yeah, I hear ya. After losing my friend Jom, I know how it feels when someone is taken long before their time.

2:03 am

grannyrose

hey Kam... where are you? please put your two bits worth in too...

2:04 am

sprite

and hursh and ursh and all others :D

2:05 am

grannyrose

lolll... yeah... hey you lot..... please join in.... so much fun when we are all here.

2:05 am

Kamanjah

I had to run off to the other room for a bit...

2:06 am

sprite

tsk tsk, Kam.

2:07 am

Kamanjah

I have a bit of an upset tummy...drinking ginger tea to help settle it

2:07 am

grannyrose

heart-breaking. two melbourne companys have closed down. one of them are not even paying their workers for the last week worked.

2:08 am

sprite

aw sweetie :( Never a moment of peace for you, it seems. *healing vibes to your tummy, sore muscles and other aches*

2:08 am

sprite

true baa humbug employers :(

2:08 am

grannyrose

*praying for comfort within Our Lord's arms for Kam*

2:09 am

sprite

but here on earth for a while still, Kam!

2:09 am

Kamanjah

Thanks, much appreciated.

2:09 am

Kamanjah

I'm not planning on leaving...too much to do yet!

2:10 am

sprite

good :D Or else! Don't make me come to get you back!

2:16 am

Kamanjah

I won't.

2:16 am

grannyrose

*grin*

2:16 am

sprite

;)

2:18 am

sprite

fireflies. Easy grid, fun to work!

2:19 am

sprite

a blessed day and a peaceful night to you all, *hugs* to my friends and an extra big hug for rose.

2:19 am

Kamanjah

Have a good day, and I hope you feel better!

2:20 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!! enjoy your day honey. praying that your pain eases soon. xoxox

2:21 am

grannyrose

kam, honey, time for my dinner. love and hugs and prayers to you and DH.

2:21 am

Kamanjah

Enjoy dinner! Looking for my last word...

2:22 am

Kamanjah

and done!

2:32 am

grannyrose

WTG KAMANJAH !~!!~lolll *poof*

Bonjour!

6:54 am

rubyfoo

Nasty, grey, windy, rainy, cold weather here.

6:55 am

rubyfoo

lt feels like winter LOL

7:08 am

Trifioso

good morning friends. LAST DAY BEFORE BREAK!!!! Yay!

7:18 am

rubyfoo

l think the light rain here is probably binging tons of snow to nearby ski resorts

7:19 am

Trifioso

for their sake I hope so! We are getting a WEIRD storm today - up to 5" of rain in 24 hours, with high, wailing winds up to 65 mph. I cannot even IMAGINE how much snow it would be. Strangely, it is going to be in the 60s today, very unusual for december in New England.

7:21 am

rubyfoo

That's crazy weather (and temps!) Here it's just ordinery dreary December

7:22 am

Trifioso

SO much red clothing here at school today! Mind you, the school colors are red and white anyway, so we are always rather christmas-y. All of Massachusetts looks like the first 30 minutes of the Wizard of Oz.....

7:22 am

mael

hah, I got a nine right away, that's always fun

7:22 am

mael

yeah trif, it's going to be extremely soggy today

7:23 am

rubyfoo

lremember qhen l was teaching in Binghamton, NY, howmy son andlwouldpray for snow days so we could go skiing

7:23 am

Trifioso

well done mael!

7:23 am

Trifioso

yeah, well, it's been so dry here lately (eye roll)

7:23 am

rubyfoo

We need the rain

7:24 am

mael

if I could send you some of ours I would, ruby

7:25 am

rubyfoo

Lake Annecy is at its lowest, ever, and all the little rivers and streams are dry

7:30 am

rubyfoo

Trif, do you know how to use the translating function? l have a close friend who would greatly benefit from the poem in your profile

7:31 am

Trifioso

uh....maybe? What language do you need it in?

7:31 am

rubyfoo

The only English she knows are the bad words l use when l bumpinto thingsâ€¦..

7:31 am

Trifioso

I am assuming French but maybe not?

7:31 am

rubyfoo

French, for my friend Nathalie.

7:31 am

Trifioso

OMG Mael, those kids in your icon are PRECIOUS!!!!

7:32 am

rubyfoo

She's going through a very rough time

7:32 am

Trifioso

Ruby, I know how to copy and paste, but I have found the translations are often quite clunky. please hold.

7:34 am

rubyfoo

You're many steps ahead of me. l'm a small, inept dinosaur

7:36 am

mael

those are my munchkins, trif! thanks :)

7:38 am

rubyfoo

So cute! My munchkin is 55 and was raised on OZ books

7:44 am

Trifioso

Ruby - WIN!!! The french translation can be found here....

7:44 am

Trifioso

7:44 am

tyank you so much!!!

7:45 am

Trifioso

mael, I am costuming two shows right now, and one is the Wizard of Oz, so I am ALLLLL about the munchkins right now!

7:48 am

welki

'morning everyone

7:50 am

rubyfoo

HELLO WELKI

7:50 am

welki

ruby, that link - take the \n out (right before femme)

7:51 am

rubyfoo

Triif l copied the aaddress,and will try to mail it to Nat

7:52 am

rubyfoo

Thanks Welki, clearly, l need all the help l can get!

7:54 am

Trifioso

ooo sorry about the address thing.

7:55 am

Trifioso

definitely read it first ruby, just in case anything is weird in there.

7:56 am

Scrabbler

My munchkins here have long ears and cottontails.

7:57 am

rubyfoo

L just sent the link to Nat. l hope it will helpher with her depression

7:57 am

welki

hi, scrabs

7:58 am

Scrabbler

Hi welki. Tell me about your progress.

7:58 am

rubyfoo

My munchkins weigh 80 lbs

7:58 am

rubyfoo

Hello scrabs

7:58 am

Scrabbler

You have very fluffy munchkins, ruby.

8:00 am

Scrabbler

*wondering if welki is doing jump shots yet*

8:00 am

welki

walking without assistance (unless I get fatigued) for short distances. more than, say, a block will cause swelling, as will sitting with foot on the floor. (so ice and elevate when it swells) scar is healing nicely (mederma extra gel 1x day + lotion later on). pain is minimal early in the day, but increases after activity. physio is uncomfortable, but short of painful (i'm instructed to stop if there's any pain)

8:01 am

welki

no running, no jumping for at least six months

8:01 am

welki

(not that i do either on a regular basis anyway :)

8:01 am

welki

...so, all in all, doing well (and thanks for asking)

8:02 am

Scrabbler

Grrr. I would way past insanity, although deciding to have the surgery meant a knowledge of the recovery process.

8:03 am

welki

yes, i did a lot of research and was as prepared as i could have been. i followed surgeon's instructions to a tee after reading about people who cheated on their recovery and paid the price

8:03 am

welki

recovery, on average, takes at least a year

8:03 am

LuvWordGames

just finished, any clues needed?

8:03 am

Scrabbler

A setback would be so disappointing.

8:03 am

Scrabbler

No, thanks, lwg, I am doing well.

8:04 am

welki

many folks who rush the process end up with additional surgery

8:05 am

welki

discussion about the second surgery on the other foot will happen in a few months' time

8:05 am

LuvWordGames

Ok, HAGD everyone

8:05 am

welki

thanks, luv

8:05 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no, welki. You have to go through this AGAIN?

8:06 am

welki

probably, although surgeon holds out some hope that, because non-surgical foot has been picking up the slack for the other for so many years, after everything calms down, surgery may not be necessary *let us pray*

8:07 am

welki

but wouldn't that be the pits? at least i have all the paraphernalia

8:14 am

mael

fingers crossed you don't need the surgery, welki!

8:14 am

welki

thanks :)

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Back after a phone call.

8:15 am

Scrabbler

I hope you can be lucky to avoid a 2nd surgery.

8:16 am

welki

heh - i could use a little luck :)

8:19 am

I felt my ears burning, Une (and welki and origami checked up on me too)

8:28 pm

Nef

My brother has ALS; I've spent most of my spare time trying to help him find a clinical trial for some drug that might help him. But I haven't found any trials he'd be able to do & his health is going downhill fast.

8:29 pm

Uneaixoise

Oh, nef, I'm so very sorry.... For you and for your brother :-(

8:31 pm

Hi Nef - I was asking about you earlier here since I hadn't seen you. Thanks for the messages :D

8:31 pm

Nef

I live 1100 miles from him (almost all of our other siblings all live within the same town though); I've been to see him 4 times this year; but I'm not able to help on a day-to-day basis; and he thinks he can still be "cured."

8:35 pm

Nef

So I do this for him. Unfortunately, he's losing ground too fast.
And Thanks, Une, ori, and welki for thinking of me. I've been her a few times but haven't been in chog & seem to be here when no one else is around

8:36 pm
