1:08 am

monster donster is hokay. i didn't do him in yesterday. i slept last night so feel marginally better. how are you honey?
1:08 am
sprite
good to hear, Aloy! And yes, we are doing well and Terra is getting on in age but a very happy little dog. Sleeps a lot, but always in for an adventure or a long walk.
1:09 am
sprite
*holds rose close* Glad you slept, that does make a difference. Take it easy today, okay?
I am goodish. Darn weather is still making me feel ill. Today I need to be up and about to arrange for Rob's BD tomorrow, so no rest for the wicked. But morale is still high :)

you 'sound' a bit down, rose. Wanna vent?
1:13 am
grannyrose
most hateful thing happened last night. my central incisor decided to break. no sign of decay thank heavens so hopefully dentist will be able to glue piece back on. meanwhile the broken tooth is ulcerating nside my top lip.
1:14 am
sprite
aw darling :( That is so nasty! When will you see your dentist?
1:15 am
grannyrose
tried to this morning. no go... so will have to wait until Monday. really not happy.
1:16 am
sprite
that is really horrible. Make sure you take enough painkillers, sweetie, or you will go ballistic from the FM. Paracetamol at the very least.
1:16 am
SueMagee
I’ve heard that chewing gum helps, rose.
1:16 am
sprite
if possible, a painkiller that is also errrrr... whatsitcalledinenglish.... one that reduces inflammation
1:17 am
grannyrose
am taking paracetamol already, three times/day. Sue, i cannot chew gum. it pulls my plate out. but if you were to offer ???
1:18 am

hiya Sue :)
1:18 am

Hi all and hugs, ladies
1:18 am

Certainly, rose. It would be my pleasure.

Hiya, sprite.

Sorry about your tooth, Rose :(
1:18 am

*giggle* at least i can laugh here. you can't see the horrible gap.
1:19 am

*hugs Liz* Hello dear one! How are you and your beloved today?
1:19 am
Lizlin
Still really good. Glad to be home. It was a long time to be away.
1:19 am
grannyrose
heyya lizgirl. there is no pain related to it all. as i said, no decay. the toth just became leached of calcium enough to break.
1:19 am
Lizlin
How's your ankle doing?
1:20 am
grannyrose
*tooth*
1:20 am
Lizlin
Hi Rose - glad it's not hurting. Toothache and earache are the worst
1:20 am
sprite
if it is ulcerating, pain will follow, I think
1:21 am
sprite
sounds like your journey was just long enough then, Liz... happy to be there, and happy to be back home.
1:21 am
Lizlin
Bit too long really but no regrets.
1:21 am
grannyrose
i am gong to try a wad of cotton wool under my lip tonight.
1:22 am
sprite
the ankle is doing okay. If I wear Rose's pressure socks all day, there is hardly any swelling. If I don't, things get ugly at the end of the day. So am wearing them every day. And using the TENS machine. It looks like the screws and plate will have to come out in time, they are very painful. But movement is improving every day.
1:22 am
Lizlin
But that sounds ungrateful.
1:22 am
sprite
we will need a picture of that, rose :D
1:23 am
Lizlin
That's not good. Is that normal?
1:23 am
sprite
nah it doesn't, Liz. It is good that you are happy to be back home. You deserve to enjoy the feeling.
1:24 am
sprite
not sure what normal is. Now that the swelling is down, there is only a thin layer of skin over the screws and everything that touches it, hurts. Some people don't have trouble with it, others do. I do. Guess I am lucky that way ;)
1:25 am
Lizlin
Lucky you ;)
1:25 am
sprite
phantom: initial
1:27 am
grannyrose
yup, sprite. it depends on the position of the screws. mine, for instance. buried deep into the bones yours, however, are more superficial and hence you would be very aware of the pressure from the inside of the screw heads pushing against the under-side of the skin.
1:28 am
sprite
exactly. And when something pushes down on that skin, it is very painful. Even when it is just the weight of the foot/leg itself. Ah well, I can manage a third operation. won't be for a while, things have to be fully healed before they will remove things.
1:28 am
sprite
lots of things in that post. Sorry.
1:34 am

1:42 am
sprite
it is raining cats and dogs here, and thunder and lightning going on. And I look out of my window and think: I do NOT wanna go out today!
1:42 am
sprite
but I have to, for my beloved, he is worth it. Will go by car, though!
1:43 am
grannyrose
he is too worth it. and the car sounds good. where will you go?
1:46 am
sprite
I need to go to the butcher's for meat for the BBQ, to the supermarket for the rest of the BBQ and drinks and all I need for a festive breakfast, to the wildlife rescue to pick up his present. Think I am gonna ask Tim to bring beer, that will save me a lot of weight.
1:47 am
grannyrose
good idea re Tim.
1:47 am
grannyrose
btw, did Rob tell you what the other people thought of his new hat?
1:50 am
sprite
app sent. Lol rose, you should have been there. People who know him are laughing their socks off. People who don't are even funnier to watch, because you see them go WTH that guy is crazy! He looks like an idiot! And then schooling their faces to not show their thoughts. Which makes US laugh our socks off.
1:52 am
grannyrose
*ROFLOLLL* I wish i had been there, and ta5 pics.
1:54 am
grannyrose
you know what? the sad thing is, th4 style of hat is quite popular over here as the flies are such pests. you only have to watch a doco on our indigenous people to see how plagued people in the outback are by them.
1:56 am
grannyrose
it is invariably worn by the swagmen in the outback too.
1:57 am
sprite
oh but I am pretty sure Rob will discover the benefits of the corks. And if not, he will remove them and wear the hat without them. It is a great hat!
2:01 am
sprite
flies are total pests. I hate them buzzing around me. Yesterday it was so muggy, with pending thunderstorms, lots of rain and high temps, that we had the infamous thunder flies... tiny tiny black things that keep flying around you, then land and sting. I hate them.
2:01 am
grannyrose
you never know... he may set a new trend.. loll
2:02 am

either the biggies are easy today, or I am improving. Got 4/5 7s already

Rob says it will stop raining this afternoon. Guess I will rest this morning and go all out this afternoon, lol.
2:06 am
grannyrose
hmmmm, i hope you don't miss the shops. i would rather you went sooner rather than later. th4 way you can rest after.
2:07 am
sprite
so true. You are right. Bring on the rain then, I won't melt. Not right away, anyway. :D
2:07 am

nah you wont melt... you're not made of sugar....
2:08 am

I can't begin to tell you how thankful I am we are in a caravan and not in a tent! Things would be miserable in a tent in this weather. Now we are high and dry, we can put on the heat if we are cold, we can cook easily indoors... Rob has taken possession of the picnic table and turned it into his office/drawing table. He is working on our design.
2:14 am

2:25 am

2:26 am

I'm reading a book that uses the word "arhat". Finally, a connection to a weird Babble word in real life.
5:49 am
rubyfoo
What does it mean?
5:51 am
MollyL
It is a Buddhist word that means one who has achieved Nirvana.
5:51 am
MollyL
The book is "The Overstory" and one of the characters is Buddhist.
5:51 am
rubyfoo
l'll have to use it when l speak with my Buddhist relatives
5:55 am
rubyfoo
They keep trying to get me to chant to help with my condition
5:58 am
MollyL
You should try it. That kind of healing work has been around a lot longer than medicine.
6:22 am
Marc Freeman
fa6, please?
6:24 am
Marc Freeman
My wife has studied and does Hebrew Chanting. She has a chant group one a month. They sometimes do chanting for healing.
6:24 am
MollyL
There is no fa6. I have an fa7 that begins like where your eyes and nose are and ends like not enemy
6:25 am
MollyL
And there is an fr6 Take the last two letters off of a number with a slash in between two numbers
6:27 am
MollyL
I think chanting can be very healing. It is, after all, a repetitive expression of a belief.
6:29 am
Marc Freeman
I agree. In any case, I was looking for both those fr's. But I am sorry to say that I didn't get either clue. Could you try and recluse them, please?
6:30 am
MollyL
A fr8 of something is a tiny portion of it. Take the last two letters off for fr6
6:31 am
MollyL
fa6 would be "in your f4" without the E + the last three letters of not enemy
6:31 am
Marc Freeman
there is no fr8 only an fr6
6:31 am
MollyL
If someone is not your enemy, they are your fr5
6:32 am
MollyL
The fr8 was for the purposes of cluing. A fr8 of something is a tiny piece. I am trying not to give the whole word away
6:33 am
MollyL
fr5 is not in the grid either, also for the purposes of cluing
6:35 am
Marc Freeman
I got the fr5 so I have the last three letters. I keep looking for fragment but there is not 'g' for tiny portion. I must be really frustrating you.
6:36 am
Marc Freeman
It has to start with fra then a letter then the end of fr5 correct. I have tried the 'd' and the 'c' and neither work.
6:37 am
MollyL
fr8, it is a number represented by two numbers with a slash in between them
6:37 am
lil*monkey
fa + the first 4 letters of what the director shouts, when filming starts
6:37 am
lil*monkey
sorry FR not fa
6:38 am
lil*monkey
Is it fr6 you need, or fa7 ? I'm so confused.
6:38 am
MollyL
Thank you lil*monkey. I don't think my cluing was getting the job done.
6:38 am
lil*monkey
Molly I don't even know which word needs a clue, so I'm probably not very helpful haha
6:41 am
Marc Freeman
finally got the fr6 now I am working on the fa7 but maybe we should start with the fa5 before it.
6:41 am
MollyL
Beautiful morning here on the right coast
6:41 am
Marc Freeman
Which coast is that?
6:42 am
lil*monkey
Coastal Virginia! So gorgeous here today
6:42 am
MollyL
fa5 is everything BUT THE L of a treatment women get at the spa
6:42 am
lil*monkey
ah! thank you Molly
6:43 am
Marc Freeman
Got the fa5 thanks and thanks for your help on the fr6.
6:43 am
MollyL
For the fa7 take the fa5, take OFF the last letter and add not beginning
6:44 am
Marc Freeman
got the fa7 I just followed both of your clues. Thanks so much. Going back to the grid now and not going to ask too many questions for awhile.

It's never odd to hear a Blazing Saddles quote .... or it hasn't been in the past. The PC police are looking to shut it down. My favorite: "Mongo only pawn in the game of life." or "...am I black?"
2:56 pm
cosdem
"what in the name of the whole wide world of sports is going on here? I hired you to lay rails not dance like a bunch of kansas city fa****" and "aww no mongo straight" are among my favorites

"No mongo straight?" Forgot that one. Guess it's time for another look. sorry I didn't see your comments earlier though - I try not to look at the chat until I've met my Babblegoal (half+one). Now off to work in the Frameline office.
3:03 pm
cosdem
