*leaving hug in chat for my bestie, sprite*

1:48 am

sprite

good morning all

1:49 am

Kamanjah

Hi Sprite! A few more minutes till midnight here. I just popped in!

1:49 am

sprite

hi Kam :) *hug*

1:50 am

sprite

I am just back home from the gp, just took my meds so things should be better in about 30 mins

1:52 am

Kamanjah

Hope all will be better soon, then. I'm having a bit of a rough time...Michael's dad passed last night.

1:52 am

Kamanjah

I'm grateful he's finally at peace.

1:53 am

sprite

aw sweetie! I am so sorry, for your loss. No matter the situation, it is still a big loss.

1:55 am

Kamanjah

He had 94 years here, and most of them good years. The last one, not so good. The last few days he kept talking about seeing his wife again - I so hope that's what happens when we start our next journey.

1:56 am

sprite

ah yes, I hope so too. It makes sense in a way, doesn't it... love is the one thing that never ceases.

1:57 am

sprite

how is Michael doing with it?

1:58 am

Kamanjah

I think he grieved a long time ago when dad started going downhill. Everyone handles it differently. I asked him today how he manages to stay so calm..."years of practice."

1:59 am

Kamanjah

He walks the Red Road.

1:59 am

sprite

yeah I do understand that. We lose people in other ways than through death. I have seen it in my friend with Alzheimer.
Your beloved walks his talk :)

2:04 am

Kamanjah

I'm so distracted - took me forever to find the 2nd Z

2:04 am

sprite

small wonder, honey

2:07 am

Kamanjah

My attention span is like a 3 yr old today. Can't sleep, having trouble relaxing. I keep thinking about my mom - at least we had a final goodbye - Dad was unconscious the last two days. Guess that was a blessing for him though.

2:08 am

sprite

death brings back memories and emotions of other deaths as well. Please be kind to yourself, Kam, it will take time.

2:11 am

Kamanjah

Yeah, it's not something you deal with on a regular basis unless you're in the health care field. When I lost my dad back in the 80s, I was a basket case for at least a week - couldn't work, couldn't *not* work...just couldn't....

2:12 am

sprite

yes and even when you work in the health care, it is still different when it is someone close to you

2:13 am

Kamanjah

We'll be ok, but thanks for the input. I'm just feeling a little lost. I'll let it rest for now, but if I need to email you, I will.

2:14 am

sprite

please do. *hugs* Give my condoleances to your beloved as well.

2:15 am

Kamanjah

I shall, thanks. *Big hugs*

2:18 am

sprite

fireflies. To you all, a blessed day and a peaceful night.
*extra hug for Kam*

Hey Ru, I was online briefly the other day when the Babbleland attack occurred. I just want to chime in and say that I consistently find your brand of humor to be spot on. You make me chuckle (and I guess you should add at least 100 groans to your count, just for me). I am sickened by the politically correct climate of today when no one is allowed to have a thought that is not group sanctioned. I happen to enjoy off-color (not profane), clever comments and you are the king. We are all adults here and can choose to close the browser at any time. The kinds of comments that ARE offensive are the personal attacks. THAT is never ok.... You just keep on being Ru :)

10:37 am

bichon

What happened?

10:38 am

doseffing

gl 4/6 5/14 7/40

10:38 am

Flask1

Well said lexophile...

10:39 am

doseffing

... 4/6 ... happy, singing ... tv show .... add a consonent for the 5 ... past tense for the 7

10:45 am

lexophile

Bichon, Ru was punning around and made a comment that was directly related to the topic of discussion, but made someone squirm. That person (to whom the comment was not directed) threw an absolute hissy fit and lectured about propriety, etc. I found the diatribe shocking and offensive. Anyway, our little Babbleland has its own Peyton Place moments.

10:48 am

bichon

I hope peope here take it easy, and not be provocative.

10:49 am

bichon

ty dose

10:49 am

doseffing

.... welcome

10:50 am

rururocks

gosh.. thank you lexophile.. that's nice to read

10:52 am

rururocks

the funniest thing about it was i was trying to write pussycat but hit send before i read it.. but it doesn't take too much to rile up certain people here

10:53 am

lexophile

I must say that I did initially grimace, but you were talking about a cat!!!

10:53 am

bojazz

yeah, ru created quite the kerfuffle... :)

10:55 am

lexophile

Yep, Ru is King of the Kerfuffle :)

10:55 am

bichon

I wasn't here at the time. Cringe worthy to hear

10:55 am

rururocks

as long as I make people laugh.. that's the point.

10:55 am

rururocks

i JOKE

10:55 am

rururocks

all the time

10:56 am

bojazz

referred to as "ruffle"...

10:56 am

rururocks

but thank you for commenting

10:56 am

rururocks

lol boj

10:56 am

bichon

I am not a pun lover. But, being married to Mr. B, that's hard

10:57 am

MollyL

I always appreciate Ru's humor. As previously stated, those who don't are free to turn off chat while he is here.

10:57 am

rururocks

not that i haven't run the red line or up to the edge of tolerance here most of the time.. but i rarely go over the edge.. in this case it was a mistake in typing and not a rude comment

11:00 am

rururocks

god bless mr bichon..

11:01 am

lexophile

I should have spoken up at the time, but I was literally on my way out the door

11:02 am

rururocks

i'm not sure it would have helped anyway.. lexo.. that person just has her agenda and stalks the chat for an opportunity to jump on people for nearly anything

11:02 am

rururocks

i have to run out to work now.. thank you lexo.. have a nice day

11:03 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :)

11:03 am

Hi nan

11:05 am

11:05 am

rubyfoo

If our beloved president can say it, it must be an acceptable word!

11:06 am

cybernan

I've decided to post any comments in my profile -- those who are interested can look and those that aren't can be left out

11:07 am

rubyfoo

Think of all the limericks w could write incorporating that word, trump and hussy

11:08 am

rubyfoo

Melania the hussy, Trump who grabs p****, etc

11:09 am

Earlier, he wedged himslf into a narrow space between an armchair and a table and had to back out

3:23 pm

Do you see your mom much over the year?

3:24 pm

lil*monkey

Yes about 1-2 times/ month. But this time I have brought here to where I live. Usually I go visit her where she lives, which is about 3 hours away.

3:26 pm

zoozzoom

Nice! I bet she is enjoying the new surroundings. And it is always nice to show your loved ones all the nice places you like to go to.

3:26 pm

lil*monkey

She is not easily impressed haha
