8:09 am
Wolvie

YAY!! you must be walking on air
8:10 am
Trifioso

on the "legal front" no good news at all. They put their "big offer" on the table - state minimum child support, no alimony, no health insurance. Gee, thanks honey. Obviously I didn't accept that, but we are sort of at a stalemate now. I don't understand where his intolerable hatred of me comes from.
8:11 am
Wolvie

wow - that is bad news Trif. not too cool, especially given the kids
8:11 am
Trifioso

yes, I am quite happy about my dad. I am going to try to sneak down and see him today. Probably will do what I did last time - bring a book to read to him, and some music for him to listen to, even if he is not aware when I am there. Knowing he was awake for a little while is such balm to the soul though
8:12 am

Let's not forget that some divorce lawyers are major assholes, too. I know. I used to work with one.

yes, his lawyer is quite rude, judi. clearly not interested in settling, wants to get all he can out of us.
8:12 am

Hi Trif - long time no see. Sorry about the hassle on the legal front.
8:13 am

That's their job, Trif. I don't know how they sleep at night.

It was the mid-life crisis to end all mid-life crises!! He had his own building business which went pear-shaped, couldn't stand the thought of the bank repossessing all his vehicles etc, so he just walked. Left me to pick up the pieces! What a guy!!

Thing about SF is that she got into debt and more or less had to get herself out of it but thinks she really knows what it is to be 'poor' and how she can help 'real poor people' get out of debt. PSHAW! (There's an old upper class English exclamation for you!)

Well, if you need any clues be quick and ask, 'cos it's 4.25am here and I may well zzz again soon.
10:27 pm
Nef

okay, what a clue for that bottom row A please?
10:27 pm
Jacula

ur8 = mycology word for the rust sporeson fruit. U + scarlet + hairy-nosed dolphin Babblet.
10:28 pm
Jacula

Heck! Now which one was it?
10:28 pm
harpjane

jac, you are such a night owl!
10:29 pm
harpjane

we figured out the bottom row a this morning, which one do you need nef?
10:29 pm
Minveryork

Hi harpjane! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
10:30 pm
Jacula

I know Harp, hence my net nick. 'Things' have been keeping me restless lately, like new info on the saga of stepdaughter's journey in life leading her to live with us (me and her Dad).
10:30 pm
harpjane

good min, we've had snow for a week now lol
10:30 pm
Nef

Oh dear. I already have the right one, I didn't *see* that one. I need the one on the bottom row left
10:31 pm
harpjane

let me ponder that nef, see if i can figure it out
10:31 pm
Jacula

I just do the grid randomly and don't notice where the words stem from. I guess I could work it out, having done the grid, but...
10:31 pm
harpjane

try at5/10, part of a room or the heart
10:32 pm
BabbleRabble

am + abbr for des moines' state
10:33 pm
Nef

harp, where do you live? In Msla? if you've had snow for a week, isn't that awful early for you?
10:33 pm
harpjane

yes it is a bit early, it's pretty much all melted now. i'm 50 miles south of missoula in Hamilton
10:33 pm
Jacula

Which Babbler is it that works it out mathematically and asks for clues that way? I'm a poet and a writer, not a mathematician.
10:34 pm
Nef

BR had the correct word for that A; but I thank you also for that clue Harp as I didn't have it yet
10:34 pm
Nef

Is Hamilton at a higher elevation?
10:35 pm
harpjane

yes a bit higher, not much
10:36 pm
Jacula

Oh, I remember, it's Hurshy.

10:36 pm
Nef

I have siblings in Missoula and Helena; they are continually telling me it's warmer out there (I'm in the Twin Cities)
10:37 pm
Jacula

She reminds me of 'Brennan' from the tv series 'Bones'. as does my only son.
10:39 pm
Jacula

Life's strange, isn't it? My long-for first child, after the one I lost, turned out to be a computer personified and my daughter, who I'd also longed for and named before I met her (like I did with my son) is the total opposite; far too emotional sometimes.
10:41 pm
Nef

Life IS strange, Jac. Good thing we can't forsee the future, isn't it?
10:41 pm
Jacula

And now I also have my 14-yr-old stedaughter to try to understand. Ain't life fun?
10:41 pm
Jacula

Nef - it sure is!
10:42 pm
Jacula

Whole new set of 'bogeymen' to understand re stepdaughter, though.
10:44 pm
Nef

I'm trying to adjust to a mentally ill daughter-in-law myself, Jacula. Somehow we have to learn a new way of communicating with these strange new family members
10:45 pm
harpjane

di6?
10:46 pm
Jacula

IF the teachers, child protection agency. police HAD been told the latest bit of information re her Mum's b/f, he'd now be serving a custodial sentence. Thing is, her Mum DID know the info, that's what causd her to disappear into thin air for 10 days befor coming back and deciding to stay with her b/f and forsake/betray her only child.
10:47 pm
BabbleRabble

tom, dic* and harry; + mashed po***oes

Thanks, Jac. Same to you
10:48 pm

10:50 pm
Nef

Seain, it is hard to do. Have you had to deal with that type of a situation before? It's like 2 steps forward, 3 steps back
10:51 pm
dcseain

oh, yes. His whole family was there for the surgery. He listed me as primary POC. And his family dynamic entirely unlike either side of my family. We're MUCH more stoic.
10:52 pm
dcseain

with all of us stressed, no fun
10:52 pm
Jacula

family dymanics. Yup, that is the main difference, I'd say.
10:52 pm
Nef

and is Tom stoic or more emotional?
10:53 pm
Jacula

My family favours black humour, but some don't underrstand that.
10:53 pm
dcseain

more stoic than they are
10:53 pm

10:54 pm
dcseain

welcome, nan
10:54 pm
Nef

then that's a blessing, isn't it? It's also why he chose you as his POA
10:54 pm
Jacula

seain, it's the oly way to go when life looks bleak!
10:54 pm
dcseain

that, and 3 months of drilling about his issues and desires :)
10:55 pm

10:55 pm

hi nan. Where have you been?

Jacula

Hi cybernan.
10:56 pm
cybernan

we were in Europe for 6 weeks, nef, home for one week when my husband was airlifted to Victoria for a quintuple bi-pass -- just got back home today.
10:57 pm
Nef

LOL, Seain! I think most nurses are like that. I *think* my Living Will is about 5 pages longer than anyone else's I've ever seen. I'd suspect Tom's done the same with his
10:57 pm
dcseain

is he doing alright now, Nan? How stressful
10:57 pm
cybernan

yes -- he is doing really well considering that his surgery was just 11 days ago.
10:58 pm

10:58 pm
Jacula

What might I say to my stepdaughter, who I caught stirring ametal spoon around in the water soaking the remains of a sausage pasta meal from this evening? 'Don't ruin my non-stick pan, those big deep ones are hard to find these days!' Or maybe, 'STOP strangling my toothpaste tube! You're driving me mad!'
11:00 pm
Nef

Jac, buy her her own tube of toothpaste. Don't sweat the small stuff.
11:00 pm
Jacula

I guess I should do a Last Will & T soon,since family life got more complicated.
11:01 pm
dcseain

i'm well, jane, thank you. I've an interview tomorrow, to top off an already stressful week. :)
11:01 pm
Jacula

Nef - I intend to! But that might not stop her driving me and her Dad (we both have different tubes) mad anyway by 'trying to share and be Part of the Family', as she perceives it.
11:02 pm
Nef

Oh, my Seain! You should be sleeping so you will be on top of your game tomorrow
11:02 pm

11:02 pm

11:08 pm
Nef

Jac, sit down with her and talk to her; I was 15 when I was forced to live with my 26 y/o step mother and father. Tell her The Rules, find out what's she's used to and be sure and let her know what's permitted or not'
But be sure to let her know you care
11:09 pm
dcseain

last ta6, pls?
11:09 pm
Jacula

In truth, there's Me and Her Dad (we're a couple) annd there are my 2 kids (22 and 25 years old). Youngest has left home and eldest intends to remain at home 'cos his Mother's 'a great cook'. Neither has ever accepted the fact that me and their Dad won't get back together again in the end. Neither has accepted their Dad's 'new' g/f as his wife (they marrid 6 years ago) OR as their stepmother. Neither sees eitherof her daughters as their stepsisters. What chance does my b/f's daughter have when she asks them, 'Do you see me as a sister, step-sister or just your Mum's b'f's daughhter?' I do wish she wouldn't kep asking us all things like that.
11:10 pm
Nef

sorry, Seain, I don't have it yet
11:10 pm
Jacula

Nef - she knows I care.
11:10 pm
Jacula

But she keeps asking if I love her.
11:11 pm
harpjane

seain bye bye and 3rd note of a scale
11:11 pm
Nef

and that is what she needs. She sounds very alone.
11:11 pm

Like Bones' Brennan, I'm an honest person, and so I remain silent when she asks me that. I don't love easy.

I, not a (I accidentally wrote in dialect)
11:27 pm
Nef

but do you like her? I'm not getting what it is that bothers you so much about her?
11:27 pm

If I can't 'take to her', there's probably a reason why, but I don't know what that is yet.

11:30 pm

11:31 pm
Jacula

AndI also need to see that, due to her being mostly ignored as a small child, she's naive in some ways and I need to bring her up to speed, if my kids aren't doing it for me.
11:31 pm
Nef

please tell her that, Jac. She's just a child who doesn't know her face from her feet; and what she needs is some honesty and love

It's hard sometimes when I see how quick and intelligent my own kids are and how 'slow' she seems to be. But my kid make up for my menopausal impatience at suddenly having a kid I never asked for again, by being kind a patient with her and they make me proud of them.
