hiya Sam! How are you today?
12:59 am
SamanthaJoy

Fading a bit. It's 1AM and I ought to have been in bed an hour and a half ago.
12:59 am
SamanthaJoy

But it's a good grid and I'm interested here.
12:59 am
sprite

ouch. I know that feeling. When going to bed is the wise thing to do... but other things are so much more interesting :D
1:00 am
SamanthaJoy

Pretty sure that one is universal. :D
1:00 am
sprite

think so too
1:01 am
SamanthaJoy

OK. I have all the sevens and eights and I can leave the last 50 for tomorrow. I'll need something to do in the mechanic's waiting room.

1:13 am

been here since 8, lol. *hugs rose* Hello my darling, how are you doing today?
1:14 am
grannyrose

no, no, no.... where ya bin.... i needs to empty out the trash
1:14 am
sprite

roflololllll
1:15 am
sprite

I have a new one for the dictionary... it is a bad one though... discunt - pay less for a hooker
1:15 am
grannyrose

*grin* hello my darling friend. have been to hydro... was difficult to be enthused about it.
1:16 am
sprite

aw sweetie, that is a tough deal when on the downslope from the treatments.
1:16 am
grannyrose

ummmm, would you be disappointed if i said, nope, don't like it....doesn't make me feel good in any way.
1:16 am
sprite

yeah I agree
1:22 am
grannyrose

i am trying very hard to be up-beat at the moment. i think it may also have to do with Raffaella's new appointment. there is one old biddy who has wasted no time in calling all who left our church for one reason or another to do with Raffaella. some people just cannot see that as a family (God's family) we AREN'T always going to agree and storming away in anger is not the answer. same old biddy thinks she is now running the show. i am going to remind her next week that Raffaella is still priest in charge, she happens to be on leave.
1:23 am
sprite

ugh I so so hate that kind of thing. Some people simply have to ruin a good thing, don't they.
1:24 am
sprite

jealousy, power plays, politics... ugly shit
1:24 am
grannyrose

it makes me physically ill seeing all these supposed christians running back to our church now that they have heard Raffaella is moving to a new post.
1:25 am
sprite

yeah. Nothing at all jesus-inspired about them.
1:29 am
grannyrose

lolll... it's International Womens Day next friday. i asked don if that meant he was going to do all the cooking for our community luncheon... his answer?? NO!
1:29 am
sprite

well he should
1:30 am
grannyrose

remind Rob and tell me all about his reaction...
1:31 am
sprite

right now Rob is doing more than his share, with me not even able to stand, let alone cook. Yesterday we had a fridge delivered and Rob got us a thriftstore microwave. I ordered a meals on wheels kind of deal for the week to come, should arrive today.
1:32 am
sprite

tomorrow afternoon is back to the hospital. So so so hope I will get a walking cast.
1:32 am
grannyrose

well done sweetie. you both need that sort of support.
1:33 am
grannyrose

oh... prayers being sent now. darling i hope it is all the best of possible news for you.
1:34 am
sprite

yeah we do. Am doing all I can to help lessen the load on Rob's shoulders. It is not an easy thing. Especially with him being so headstrong. No match for me though :D
1:34 am
sprite

thanks my dear friend.
1:34 am
grannyrose

are these meals through your local council?
1:35 am
sprite

no, it is a private company. I did some research, wanted one that offers healthy meals. This one was tested best by one of our unaffiliated testing agencies. Lots of veggies in every meal. Freshly made and home-cooked.
1:39 am
grannyrose

sounds good.... i hope the meals are nice.
1:41 am
grannyrose

lolll this reminds me of mother mac. when she was discharged from hospital, the social worker set up delivery of 'meals on wheels' mum hated the food, and used to feed the dog with them.
1:41 am
sprite

ughhhhh and LOL
1:43 am
grannyrose

before i forget... tomorrow is fang's birthday and we are going out for dinner with her. so prolly wont see you.
1:43 am
sprite

I think it is smart not to expect food that tastes like you cooked it yourself. But as long as it is okay, and healthy, I will not complain.
1:44 am
sprite

Happy fangy birthday!
1:44 am
grannyrose

lolll
1:46 am
sprite

nice detail is that you can order S, M or L portions. Since Rob is a big eater, I ordered him the L ones.
1:47 am
grannyrose

good one.
1:48 am
sprite

I think Rob forgot to turn the heater on this morning :( It is colllllld here.
1:50 am
grannyrose

ugh.... can you reach to do it youself?
1:51 am
sprite

I would have to hop to the other end of the caravan on my contused ankle.
1:54 am
grannyrose

oh honey. is there someone you can call? what about somebody from the rescue centre?
1:55 am
sprite

I hope they are willing to walk terra this afternoon. I think if they are, I will ask them to turn on the heater then too. Good idea.
1:58 am
grannyrose

this afternoon is too long for you to be so cold...
1:58 am
sprite

true. Okay, hold on, am gonna give it a try
1:58 am
grannyrose

and i am sure they would be most upset to find out you have waited that long to be warm.
2:03 am
sprite

mind over matter! Hopped to the heater and back, with the help of my walker.
2:04 am
sprite

should be warmer very soon now
2:05 am
grannyrose

good girl... i am proud of you.
2:06 am

I Googled "gerschlumpf" and what came up is that it is German for "my last name means Smurf"? Is that accurate? Just curious.
10:27 pm

you're very close! LOL
10:30 pm
KIMMYDEE

Please, do tell me what the proper English translation of the word is. It sounds like a fun word to know.
10:34 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

yeah, um, i just made it up. sort of fake german. to dive in, or maybe to make a belly-flop
10:36 pm
KIMMYDEE

Oh - well job well done then :)
10:37 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

tanx
10:41 pm
KIMMYDEE

You clued the word shtetl last night - I like yiddish and thought maybe gerschlumpf was one I hadn't heard before. But I don't smurfing blame you for making up a word. All words were made up at one point or another anyway - right?
10:41 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

yepper!
10:42 pm
KIMMYDEE

:)
10:42 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

and the meaning and use of words is constantly changing. not every word, of course
10:42 pm
KIMMYDEE

yes
10:44 pm
KIMMYDEE

I love that it changes, but at the same time I hate it. Not to sound cliche, but the smurfing kids abuse the smurf out of this language and can't even write it.
10:45 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

don't blame the kids. we have had 40 years of rightwings defunding public education, and foisting crap textbooks on us, and crap like that.
10:46 pm
KIMMYDEE

Not sure if you know the Smurfs cartoon or not...they substitute every other word in their vocabulary with "smurf"...
10:46 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i never had one solid, clear explanation of the difference between its and it's in school (i went to public school K-12) -- learned it after i was out of college
10:46 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

yes, i partly blame the smurfs for our deplorable slang LOL
10:46 pm
KIMMYDEE

Totally agree that the defunding didn't help.
10:47 pm
KIMMYDEE

inner city schools have always been and will always be at a disadvantage and they are the ones who need the most help but get the least.
10:48 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

yep. we need to equalize school funding. get more $ to poor schools.
10:49 pm
KIMMYDEE

Yes - and I don't think that people understand where their tax dollars go.
10:49 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

most of it goes into pockets of defense contractors
10:50 pm
KIMMYDEE

Oh - yes. That.
10:50 pm
KIMMYDEE

Whole big can of worms.
10:52 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

then again, most school fuding is from property taxes which are local taxes.
10:53 pm
KIMMYDEE

Honestly, my viewpoint on everything that the military does (that I am aware of) shifts from time to time.
10:55 pm
KIMMYDEE

Yes - local taxes are what covers our public schools, I'm not sure how much federal funding my city gets, but it can't be much because our schools are constantly doing fundraisers and half of the computers in the classrooms that do have them are broken.
10:56 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

Our military is bloated. We could do the job with half the funding. Take the leftover $ and fund schools, roads, medical, renewable energy, etc
10:56 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

get the freakin football out of the school. lot of $ savings right there.
10:59 pm
KIMMYDEE

That's a blanket statement though. How is the military so bloated and how would we do the same job with half of the funding? I'm seriously asking. I've heard this before - but with no solid answer on what to cut and what to give.
11:00 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

they pay $1000 for a toilet seat and $2000 for a wrench (give or take) while our veterans can't get a stinking opioid pill
11:00 pm
KIMMYDEE

I am registered as an independent. I do not bow to either party. Just saying
11:00 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

the pentagon refuses to allow itslef to be audited. we keep fighting wars "off the books." money just walks out the door and disappears.
11:00 pm
KIMMYDEE

I've heard that too - but that doesn't solve the problem of how much money is allocated to each department.
11:01 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

this is not partisan.
11:02 pm

I agree that this is not partisan - I just felt that I should share my personal stance for fear, I guess, that someone did think that I was on one side or the other as it goes.

Congress holds the purse - we the people vote for the people in congress. How, do we the people, really fix this crap when most

convince non-voters to vote. convince voters to stop voting for politicians who bloat the budget and cut programs that help people (yeah, i know, not easy)
11:06 pm

outlaw private money in elections. serious penalties for cheaters. eliminate electoral college.

I think the major disappointment is that even when we follow politics very closely and the candidate that we voted for wins, is very rarely does that politician do as promised

I have to ask - do you like any of the potential candidates for 2020 yet?

That's personal, so nevermind.

i would happily vote for any of the dems. the other party is so corrupt it is hard to believe it. i also support down-ticket greens as much as possible
11:10 pm

remember, there are elections happening every year, not once every 4 years
11:10 pm

i would outlaw campaigning any earlier than 2 months before the election.
11:11 pm

Yes, BUT - local districts do not make it very clear who or what you are voting for or how and where.
11:12 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i know. newspapers just print candidate's own press release which are often hype and gibberish. best thing to do is listen to candidtaes directly, debates or interviews on local radio, etc

Right now, I personally favor Warren. Honestly, at first look I didn't think much of her. She's my preference right now. She is one SMART cookie. She would kick Hillary's ass!
11:15 pm

hillary is not running (tey) and i would certainly vote for warren. have you noticed . . .
11:16 pm

some people become politicians in order to serve We the People and some in order to stuff their faces at the public trough. i refuse to vote for the face stuffers

wow - will that always be the thing?
11:24 pm

I legitimately hated Hillary since she was married to Bill and he cheated on her and she just said "Oh, that's ok" I guess she was ok with it because she always had her own political agenda. I honestly detest her. China gate and everything. She promised young women in the middle east that they would remain safe. She made a lot of promises.

apparently bill cheated a lot -- not just that one time -- divorce would mean neither one of them would ever get any votes, or i guess that's what she was thinking. IMO there are far worse things than having sex out of wedlock

I am pretty sure that with the whole China-gate thing they were guilty of many crimes.

Of course the cheating thing wasn't the worst but the public humiliation of it all for Hillary was awful. I couldn't stand it. That just shows you that she is a cold hard B and will do whatever it takes to advance her own career.
11:35 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

as i recall she did not do a lot of public appearances for a time, while they were fighting or making up or whatever. i don't expect politicians to be perfect. some acts are a lot worse than others. anthony wiener, for example, if he had done it once, i'd e it slide, but he did it hundreds of times

China-gate was a long time ago. I can't state specifics on it anymore, but when I read all of the facts from the case I was convinced that the Clintons were guilty.

The cheating wasn't really the point though :( It was just that Bill humiliated Hillary but she chose to "plow" ahead in the "game", People thought that she was real trooper for it - I think she was just a manipulative cu5/6 (from last night's grid).

And that's all that I have to say abou that.

It came down to either HER or HIM - which I NEVER imagined would even be possible. I did not vote in the primary races. I felt like I hated her so much based on what I knew about her that I had to vote for him.
