they both are expressions of disgust

12:46 am

Rainiqui

12:46 am

i should jolly well think they've not been called!

12:47 am

12:49 am

rbud

totally new ones for me, thanks again!

12:49 am

hurshy

so we just need that other 9, then all 8 and bigger will have been called

12:50 am

Rainiqui

I hope my hint helps\

12:51 am

hurshy

it helped me learn it since that made me click the question mark by it and find out what it is

12:52 am

Rainiqui

what do you mean about question marks Hursh?

12:52 am

hurshy

once you have the word, there's that little question mark to the left of it that takes you to the definition

12:53 am

hurshy

except for those times when it doesn't because dictionary.com hasn't got that word

12:53 am

Rainiqui

oh thanks, I never knew that

12:54 am

hurshy

there are two kinds of people. those who click everything just to see what it is, and those who don't. :) lol

2:27 am

SueMagee

I donâ€™t do that often! How are you doing, sprite?

2:28 am

sprite

pretty good. Less pain and more mobility. And how are you doing today?

2:29 am

SueMagee

Oh thatâ€™s good news. Iâ€™m fine, thanks.

2:29 am

sprite

that is great to hear.

2:34 am

grannyrose

goody goody goody. {{{{spritey}}}}} i am so looking forward to tomorrow. i have a "don' free day. he has been in a very 'yoyo' mood for nearly a week. i need a break.

2:35 am

grannyrose

good news re your ankle honey.

2:35 am

grannyrose

heyya sue. xoxox

2:36 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend, good to see you. Uch about the yoyo mood, that is taxing. And yay for a day alone!

2:36 am

sprite

yep, ankle is doing its thing, I think. Lots of healing going on.

2:37 am

grannyrose

i am gonna walk myself around to the nail technician and have my nails done. *huge grin*

2:37 am

sprite

oh wowwww am jealous! My nails are awful, overdue for many weeks and no way to solve it quickly too.

2:38 am

grannyrose

and don has been doing some checking. looks like we are going to hire a renault, automatic.which means even if you are still in plaster, you can drive.

2:38 am

sprite

and woooot for walking... you are doing so well. Could not have predicted years back that you would be able to say that again.

2:39 am

grannyrose

lolll i know sweetie. say yay for hydro and gym.

2:39 am

sprite

wooooot! That is awesome. Well, not if I am still in plaster, because I will not be insured then. But yeah, when out of plaster, I can drive even if I do not have enough power back in the leg.

2:42 am

sprite

pantom sequence: -ench-

2:44 am

grannyrose

yeah tat one caught me out several times. i wriggled with glee. and then it would say such-and-such-ench is not in the grid. and i peered closely, tracing the letters with my finger... and poo... blasted thing ISN"T there.

2:45 am

sprite

lol glad I am not alone in that

2:46 am

sprite

worst is, it gives whole series. So off I go, typing in series faster than lightning... and then grind to a halt realising I see lickety's Addbox light up red.

2:51 am

grannyrose

*giggle* me too

2:51 am

grannyrose

late response i know.... ma nature yelled.

2:52 am

sprite

darn that Rob... friday mornings the laundry man comes to drop off and pick up our laundry... I keep trying to get Rob to get up and he just drags his heels... and then the guy comes and Rob is still half nekkid and not all the laundry is in the bag yet... I hate that.

2:52 am

grannyrose

rofloll.... put Rob in the bag...

2:54 am

sprite

good idea. We are arguing now, lol. He goes: "I want to sleep in once in a while too."
And I say: "Not on friday mornings, when the laundry man comes. Can't sleep in when we have an appointment, you know."

2:56 am

sprite

and... btw... 'too'? We live in a caravan, for crying out loud. If he gets up at half past 5, so do I.

2:56 am

sprite

there...rant over

2:56 am

grannyrose

ugh.... sleep ins.... i can't sleep in any more. i have to take my pain meds on time or my entire day is thrown into the pits. tell him that. EVERY morning, 8am is the latest i can sleep.

2:58 am

sprite

same for me. Has been that way for ages. Men... :D I will have a Rob-free 10 days or so, when he goes to sweden. Love him to pieces, but once in a while, being apart is not a bad thing.

2:58 am

grannyrose

amen sistah.

3:02 am

sprite

*giggles* Sometimes, timing is all... Rob was dragging his heels, saying : "I am not awake yet."
I said: "Is that what you are gonna say to the laundry man too, when he comes calling?"
And right then, the guy called out: "Hello there?"

3:03 am

sprite

and of course I make this disgustingly smug face at Rob and said: "Well?"

3:04 am

grannyrose

roflllolll

3:04 am

grannyrose

roflllolll

3:04 am

grannyrose

ugh sorry. ha Rob. well?

3:04 am

sprite

not very gracious, I know, but what can I say... sometimes I love to be proven right

3:06 am

sprite

Rob went racing through the caravan, putting on underwear and trousers, adding the last things to the washing bag... meanwhile talking to the guy that he was on his way... hold on... wait a second... And I said: "Come on in!" And of course Rob made big eyes at me and mimicked NOOOOOO

3:06 am

grannyrose

yeah.... i have been keeping my mouth shut lately... himself loves telling me i am wrong... so i am being silent and watch as he comes a cropper...i don't say anything, just look at him....his face tells all.

3:07 am

sprite

hehehe that is priceless.

3:09 am

grannyrose

oh and did i tell you about last Monday night? about 9pm don turned to me with a stricken look on his face saying..today's not your birhday is it? i couldn't resist and just looked at him. he was so distraught. then i laughed... and said... it's next week sweetheart. the look of relief was unbelievable.

3:10 am

sprite

oh for crying out loud!

3:10 am

grannyrose

i nearly had an accident from laughing so hard...

3:11 am

sprite

he better make up for that blooper by treating you really really well on your BD!

3:12 am

grannyrose

hmmmm. haven't heard from the boyos yet...could be interesting.

3:12 am

sprite

perhaps they will surprise you

3:17 am

grannyrose

hey, we were watching a show last night about gardens around the world. we saw the gardens of the Dutch royal family's castle. can we see that?

3:17 am

sprite

must check it out, but if possible, of course

3:18 am

grannyrose

wheelchair for you, walker for me. we could manage it.

3:18 am

sprite

would that be at Palace Het Loo?

3:19 am

sprite

that's a national park, we can definitely go there.

3:19 am

grannyrose

maybe...it has beautifully laid out gardens with geometric designs.

3:19 am

sprite

or Soestdijk? For Soestdijk we need a ticket. Do you remember the name?

3:20 am

grannyrose

yep. palace het loo.

3:21 am

sprite

lovely. Putting it on our list of things to do

3:23 am

sprite

am so so looking forward to it. Have you heard from Belgium or Scotland yet?

3:23 am

grannyrose

this time we don't really want to see things which require a lot of planning. i am looking forward to being impromptu.

3:24 am

sprite

sounds great to me

3:24 am

grannyrose

nope. i will give them another few days. say after the weekend. will email them then.

3:25 am

sprite

would be nice to know when you will be here and when in scotland, and when you (or maybe we) will be in belgium

3:26 am

grannyrose

AND..... the sister-in-law who turned up her nose at my attempts to organise a family 'do' over the Easter break?

3:26 am

sprite

oh? Yes?

3:26 am

grannyrose

she has come up with an idea, and she and i are waiting to see what the rest of the family think.

3:27 am

sprite

how nice!

3:27 am

grannyrose

i hope she learns just how difficult it is to organise such a big family get together.

3:28 am

sprite

she might, if you let her pull her own weight.

3:28 am

grannyrose

oh yeah....i am just sitting here watching the developments.

3:29 am

sprite

great :) I love it how you are learning you do not always have to do all the work. You are amazing at it, don't get me wrong, but it is healthier for you to be able to lean back and let others try and sort it out, once in a while

3:32 am

grannyrose

btw, you do realise i am coming over to you for a rest, don't you?

3:32 am

sprite

lol... Rob was a little pissed at himself, but as we humans tend to do, is taking it out on me. He is taking a lonnnnnnnng shower now, while I am still waiting for coffee. He knows I am not that mobile until my painkillers kick in.

3:34 am

grannyrose

ugh.... yeah, and 'cos you can't get to the showers easily he feels safe that you won't turn off the hot water... right?

3:35 am

sprite

exactly :D Ah well, he is usually wonderful and very caring. And I know it is hard for men when their dignity is hurt... as in being totally wrong about something... so I kinda understand

3:35 am

grannyrose

lollll... yeah... like we are never totally wrong, right?

3:36 am

sprite

I found both 9s without prompting... and so far half of the 8s. I might be learning! 10/13 7s too.

3:36 am

sprite

bless your heart :D Yeah, we are, occasionally, just as wrong. It is human.

3:37 am

grannyrose

what about the 10?

3:37 am

sprite

got that too!

3:38 am

grannyrose

whoot! you rock !!

3:41 am

sprite

*happy dance*

3:41 am

grannyrose

gently dearest, gently

3:42 am

sprite

ah Rob is back. I have a very clean husband now :) And of course he forgot to put his thermoshirt in the washing bag in the hurry, which is on the list... so I just called them and said not to worry when they are one short, lol

3:43 am

grannyrose

*puts hands over eyes* Rob, for goodness sake.. cover up that manly chest... my heart can't take it...

3:44 am

sprite

lolololllllll

3:44 am

grannyrose

I SAW THAT ROB !!

3:44 am

sprite

he is a handsome man, isn't he :)

3:44 am

sprite

and now working on my coffee... bless his heart

3:44 am

grannyrose

*peeking between fingers* yup

3:45 am

sprite

oh... have you ever watched the series Queer Eye?

3:45 am

grannyrose

no ??? do tell.

3:47 am

sprite

it is on netflix. It is a makeover series, but with a wonderful twist. The makeover people are 5 homos, and the makeover is not so much about appearance but about improving life, and especially about regaining self confidence. They are amazing. So respectful and full of love, and also so very funny. You will love the series. And I was thinking... wait I will email you that one.

3:49 am

grannyrose

okay...

3:54 am

sprite

email sent

3:55 am

grannyrose

and it has arrived. can't wait to watch it... and tomorrow with a don free day...it will be deal.

3:57 am

sprite

they are 5 gay guys, and one does the grooming, one is about your living space, one about food, one about clothes and one about psychology. It is a powerful formule for sure.

3:57 am

grannyrose

sounds incredible.

3:57 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs ladies. That show is on TV here too.

3:58 am

sprite

let me see if I can find that episode, will tell you which season and number

3:58 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* It is amazing, isn't it? Makes me feel real good every episode.

3:58 am

grannyrose

dinner ready. catch y'all after the next flip. xoxoxox

3:59 am

Lizlin

To be honest Iâ€™ve not watched it. Donâ€™t really do makeover shows

3:59 am

Lizlin

Bye Rose. Enjoy your evening.

3:59 am

sprite

season 2 episode God bless Gay

4:00 am

Lizlin

Howâ€™s your leg doing Sprite?

4:00 am

sprite

neither do I, Liz. My daughter said to watch it though, and I did, and it is totally different from other makeovers. This is about how we humans can get into a funk, or have a fear of something, and how to get past that and start feeling good about yourself and about living life.

4:01 am

sprite

pretty good, I think, Liz. Pain is down, mobility is up, and my 'inner sense' is telling me there is a lot of healing going on there.

4:01 am

Lizlin

Sounds interesting but Iâ€™ve got enough ther stuff I enjoy.

4:02 am

Lizlin

That all sounds good.

4:02 am

sprite

no biggie :) Keep it in the back of your head in case you feel like watching something at some point. Now with my ankle I am watching more tv than normal.

4:04 am

Lizlin

I tend to watch while hubby is processing photos. Thatâ€™s mostly UK catch up stuff and then we watch dramas together. The more unusual the better.

4:05 am

sprite

sounds very good too. I have some craftwork I do for the wild life rescue, and I watch a series while my hands do the crafting. I like the combination.

4:06 am

Lizlin

Of course I also have my DP. Just about to start my dragons. Huge! 60 x 60! Probably too big for the space I have.

4:09 am

sprite

ohhhh sounds lovely. I have a bunch of projects waiting for me. Mostly smallish, 30x40. Two even smaller, those were gifts. And a big one, 50x60. Not sure I can manage that one while still on the bed. The wildlife rescue has brought me two dps too. One was blech. A partial cover, round diamonds. And small and ugly. I did that in one day. Now am working a bigger one and it is fun.

4:10 am

sprite

and I ordered a few more from aliexpress, lol. Very beautiful wolves. Looking forward to those.

4:10 am

Lizlin

Iâ€™ve ordered 2 more wolf designs.

4:10 am

Lizlin

Ha! Similar ideas.

4:11 am

sprite

how do you organize your diamonds? I like the tictac boxes best so far. I take my time labelling them, it makes working the painting so much easier and faster.

4:11 am

sprite

hehehe I like that :)

4:11 am

Lizlin

Both are 30 x 40. Easiest size for my space.

4:12 am

sprite

same here. I can work those on my bedtable, with my foot up, so that is great.

4:13 am

Lizlin

Iâ€™ve got little screw top pots I bought and I store them in a plastic box. I also sort first and bags up the spare diamonds too.

4:14 am

sprite

I bag up the spares as well. I have considered the screw top boxes, but I prefer the rectangle boxes that I can open with one hand.

4:15 am

Lizlin

These stack easily too. Iâ€™ve just emailed you pics of the 2 new ones Iâ€™ve ordered.

4:15 am

sprite

oh thanks! Gonna check it out right away

4:16 am

sprite

omg those are beautiful! I would order that top one myself if I saw it somewhere too. So beautiful.

4:16 am

Lizlin

OK I remembered the dimensions wrong!

4:17 am

sprite

*grins* will be even more beautiful bigger.

4:17 am

sprite

I will send you an email with my new ones after babble.

4:18 am

Lizlin

I love them. There are loads more I want but Iâ€™ve now got 3 spare and thatâ€™ll have to do for a while. Too easy to go over the top. BTW my finished tiger is lovely, even with round drills and partial coverage.

4:18 am

Lizlin

Yes please.

4:18 am

Lizlin

Almost dinner time here. Itâ€™s 7.20.

4:19 am

sprite

enjoy your dinner, Liz. *hugs* for you both. Enjoyed our chat!

4:19 am

Lizlin

Hugs, Sprite. Have a lovely day.

4:21 am

sprite

okay found the ps biggies. Thank God for Lickety and a2z. Must look up def.

4:23 am

sprite

4:27 am

10:24 am

10:55 am

bichon

no idea mlf

10:57 am

rururocks

Real housewives on TV are silly gooses

10:59 am

Aloyisius

was that a clue, ru? or are you referring to the ole time shows where housewives mopped in high heels?

11:00 am

Haz1558

ne9 - mix up the number before two (three letters), add the number after nine (three letters) add the three letters that are often used to pluralise a word ending in y.

11:00 am

rururocks

don't all women mop in high heels?

11:01 am

Aloyisius

yay, tyvm Haz! good to see you, btw (-:

11:01 am

Haz1558

Hello, Aloy, glad the clue worked for you.

11:01 am

Aloyisius

right, ru ! better traction on a wet floor and oh so comfy on the toes

11:02 am

Aloyisius

it was a great clue, Haz. Just wondering... any grandkiddies yet?

11:02 am

Haz1558

No, not a one.

11:03 am

Haz1558

Husband is now retired from full time work, so that's a big change for us.

11:03 am

bichon

ty Haz

11:03 am

periwinkle

hi all. help with bottom E. I have the color

11:03 am

periwinkle

which is not from that E

11:03 am

Aloyisius

aww, well.. I remember when my MIL gave me a big clue as to her wishes.. she gave me a lacy negligee, lol

11:04 am

Haz1558

Subtle!

11:04 am

Aloyisius

peri, it is the eagle's nest I think, ey5 and pl

11:05 am

Haz1558

Peri, look for the infamous eagle's ne**.

11:05 am

Aloyisius

oops, off to the PB for me

11:05 am

Haz1558

You have to keep your wits about you, Aloy.

11:06 am

Aloyisius

so true, Haz... I get carried away in this game

11:07 am

Haz1558

Well, when there are normal words abounding, no wonder the odd one slips into chat.

11:09 am

Aloyisius

congrats to your hubby on a wonderful career. Do you have travel plans?

11:10 am

Haz1558

We hop over to London twice a year to visit our younger daughter who's living and working there. We usually have a holiday in September, just haven't decided where to go yet.

11:11 am

Aloyisius

well, did your husband have a heir apparent for his practice? Bet he had some sad clients when he retired.

11:11 am

Haz1558

He's still doing a little work, just not at nights any more. No more 3 am phone calls.

11:12 am

Aloyisius

whew, glad about that!

11:12 am

Haz1558

Yes, the practice has 8 full time vets and his partnership has been handed over.

11:12 am

Aloyisius

ok, didn't realize he was with such a large group

11:13 am

Haz1558

It's just a relief for him not to be worrying about nights on call. He's getting no younger, and his knees aren't in the best shape.

11:13 am

Aloyisius

aw.. and what does he enjoy for fun? Golf?

11:14 am

Haz1558

Bird watching!

11:14 am

Aloyisius

He deserves some FUN

11:14 am

Aloyisius

yay, I love him, another bird nerd

11:14 am

Haz1558

His parting gift from the surgery was a scope which he can lug about the place.

11:15 am

Aloyisius

ooh, a spotting scope - nice !

11:16 am

Haz1558

He's had a few expeditions with it and is going to the Isle of Skye in May for a few days.

11:16 am

Vicuna

Oh, just passing through, but I thought I'd better take advantage of the opportunity to say hello, Haz and Aloy! And it's nice to see your news, Haz.

11:16 am

bichon

Sounds heavenly Haz

11:16 am

Haz1558

Hello, Vi. Lovely to see you!

11:16 am

Aloyisius

fantastic: now he has to take pics through it.

11:16 am

Aloyisius

Hi Vicuna, good to see you too

11:17 am

Vicuna

Likewise, Haz. We don't seem to overlap much any more.

11:17 am

Haz1558

He and his sister are going together, they're both keen bird watchers. I will stay home and keep the dog company. I can enjoy seeing the odd bird, but not 4 days!

11:18 am

Vicuna

We were in Costa Rica this past summer and all the nature guides are adept at helping people take pictures through the spotting scopes. It works surprisingly well and we got some amazing pictures.

11:18 am

Haz1558

Plus, the midges in Skye in May may be troublesome..

11:18 am

Aloyisius

lol, do you have a Springer Spaniel?

11:18 am

Aloyisius

oh, that is heaven, Vicuna

11:18 am

Haz1558

He's a cocker spaniel.

11:19 am

Haz1558

He's my velcro dog.

11:19 am

Vicuna

Haz, am I remembering correctly that your current dog is no longer Spangle?
Yes, Aloy, it was wonderful.

11:19 am

Aloyisius

I swear this chat is waking my brain up, seeing more words now

11:19 am

Haz1558

Husband gets exasperated when he comes back from taking the dog for a walk. The dog practically knocks him down to find out where I am.

11:19 am

Aloyisius

Spangle was precious

11:20 am

Vicuna

Ha ha, your husband is evidently NOT chopped liver! ;)

11:20 am

Haz1558

Yes, Vi. Spangle had to be put to sleep, we were dogless for a year until husband could contemplate getting another dog and then Dempsey arrived.

11:21 am

Haz1558

I don't know if it's the breed, but he just attached himself to me and makes no bones about preferring to see me. The rest of the family are a bit put out. Honestly, I don't bribe him.

11:21 am

Aloyisius

yw, yw, yw, lol peri

11:22 am

Vicuna

I'm sorry about Spangle. I hope Dempsey can find a little love to share with the others!

11:23 am

Haz1558

Oh, he is affectionate with the rest but if I move, he's after me, it doesn't matter who else is around.

11:23 am

bichon

My Marco is like that

11:24 am

Haz1558

I think some breeds are 'one man' dogs, and there's no way of persuading them differently.

11:24 am

Haz1558

Do you find it annoying or endearing, bichon, or a mixture?

11:27 am

bichon

endearing

11:28 am

Vicuna

Well, I'd better be on my way to other tasks, but I just wanted to say hello while I had the chance.

11:28 am

bichon

he sleeps under the blankets with us

11:28 am

Haz1558

I swither between the two, depending on my mood.

11:28 am

Aloyisius

have a great day, Vicuna: thanks for stopping by!

11:29 am

Haz1558

It was lovely to see you, Vi. We'll meet again!

11:30 am

Vicuna

I trust so, Haz! I miss our silly discussions.
Bye, all.

11:42 am

Haz1558

Bye for now!

11:42 am

Aloyisius

good idea, would be so fun to play it against my Scrabble friend. She and I have been playing so long we tend to read each other's minds, and I'd love to play a newbie like that one!

11:42 am

Yes, go for the kill!
