12:32 am

rururocks

I haven't had a whiskey sour in like forever

12:33 am

jillibus

yeah, I remember whiskey sours -- they were nice!

12:33 am

rururocks

wow.. how'd you get that to happen jilli/

12:35 am

jillibus

The insurance company will pay the ferry fare to return my car-stuff to me. Son wanted to get to Victoria on business anyway, so is combining the errands.

12:36 am

rururocks

has she been nicer to you lately

12:37 am

scrambler

no but i have a gl 7/36

12:37 am

jillibus

D-i-l is a very busy full-time head of the high school drama department and seldom has time off to get here. They go to Tadoussac, Quebec, the moment school is out in the summer and return just in time for school opening. They don't love near me.

12:37 am

rururocks

if they don't love near you you won't hear their noises.. i guess

12:38 am

rururocks

:D

12:38 am

jillibus

Yes, ruru -- she's been much nicer -- seems to have forgiven my sins, whatever they were. (Dang -- I keep writing love instead of live. the i and the o are next to each other)

12:40 am

rururocks

12:40 am

VolleymomDee

12:53 am

jillibus

Not yet, granny -- didn't feel up to driving even though I got a rental car. Just did a few errands and came home with it. Got a lift today from my bridge pal for the car-hunt.

12:53 am

sammysmom

great idea rose... arnica is very soothing

12:53 am

grannyrose

{{{urshy}}}

12:53 am

rururocks

16 pounds.. holy cow he's a puma

12:54 am

jillibus

The trouble is I never know just where it's going to hurt next, and I can't reach my back to apply the arnica.

12:54 am

grannyrose

jilli, arnica is absolutely the BEST for soft tissue injuries.

12:54 am

sammysmom

sammy is only 10 pounds .. also black

12:54 am

jillibus

I live alone.

12:55 am

grannyrose

jilli, use the arnica on your shoulder joint...you will be amazed.

12:56 am

jillibus

shoulder doesn't hurt it's part of the deltoid and part of the pectoral, I think.

12:56 am

jillibus

Next time I'm in town I'll get some arnica

12:57 am

sammysmom

thats what a back scratcher is fr jil. mine is useful as a conealong, a scooper upper, shoehorn, cream applicator for the back hard to reach places , kid smacker pointer ..etc

12:58 am

jillibus

I do have a long wooden spoon I've used for suntan cream in the past.

1:32 am

Glantarell

if I am lucky t is just a little bit of repair, if the whole thing is usafe I am probably looking at thousands

1:37 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, not good news. i saw a picture in the 'metro' where someone's entire backyard was now a part of the severn river.

1:38 am

Glantarell

it does occasionally feel as if the whole of britain is drowning...

1:39 am

Lizlin

My friend in Oxford posted a similar picture of her house, with the river in her garden!

1:39 am

Glantarell

the trouble is that now everywhere is totally waterlogged, there's nowhere for the water to go so it sits on top

1:39 am

grannyrose

liz, did you know you could receive 'the metro' on-line?

1:40 am

Lizlin

BBL :)

1:41 am

melonheadjujube

A very late hello. I was decanting perfume samples this evening. 45 little vials, to be packed and shipped tomorrow.

1:41 am

Lizlin

No - I didn't know that Rose. Strangely I still have my BT yahoo account and so read the UK news from there! Strange because we did inform them that we were leaving!

1:41 am

grannyrose

and over here, it feels like the whole of australia is burning up!!! weird world/times we are living in.

1:41 am

grannyrose

72 Temple Owl

9:37 am

carleekat

no...the blister itself is a cushion..the body's way of proteting the site of irritation

9:37 am

Scrabbler

I tried that on Tuesday without success. I will try large nonstick Bandaid then duct tape.

9:37 am

jmcnrick

good point carlee but i never go anyplace that cold! haha. . a mat on the cot would serve

9:37 am

Hi smores

9:38 am

Scrabbler

Hi Smores

9:38 am

11:56 am

Routers suck.

11:57 am

MollyL

Well, if she is only getting kicked off on one device, the wireless router and the device are probably not talking to each other correctly.

11:57 am

Judi

No deal, Ruby. I'm not paying to import your husband. I have one of my own.

11:57 am

rubyfoo

no no, I'll pay! lol

11:59 am

Judi

LOL. Okay then. I suppose I can just peel off his tags and leave him in unclaimed baggage.

11:59 am

Oh, thank you all :) It's really nice to see that he's so remembered. As things move on, it's easy to feel like I'm the only one still remembering and missing him, especially because his family aren't in the picture. But he was a fantastically sweet person. I'm glad he's remembered.

1:42 pm

cybernan

We were anything but quiet -- the younger grandchildren here. One of the twins has started to crawl, so had to barricade one room off to keep her contained!

1:42 pm

mamabear

Poor Grant... doesn't he know pulled teeth go under the pillow for the Tooth Fairy, not under the tree for Santa??

1:43 pm

stidmama

LOL mamabear! He got a BIG flat-screen TV to replace the one that failed and we weren't going to fix; as a way to give him a little comfort while he recuperated. It worked...

1:44 pm

stidmama

I had enough going on with one crawler at a time -- cannot imagine the excitement with two!

1:44 pm

mamabear

I would say so!!!!!

1:45 pm

I got on a pl4/5 and flew to California to get a Master's Degree in Education.I pl4/5ned on becoming a teacher. Currently,I ea 4/4 a living working in an urban ar4/4 helping kids le 5/10. I hope that the students are gl 7/36s and gl 5/14 the information that I teach them. It fills me with gl 4/6 to see kids le4/4ning. I think that no 4/4 of my students realize how important education is though.Hubby is ne4/4by le 4/4ing at me because he wants the computer. Now I am going to go watch an Al 4/5 Baldwin film.I will le4/5 into the chog later to help with clues. By the way, only part of this story is re 4/4.

Minveryork

Thank you lillian & smores!I love doing them. However, yesterday it was a challenge with the hard grid. It took almost an hour to do. It usually does not take that long.

WTG COS!!!!

8:01 pm

lilliann

i was here when she was on and i didn't see any comment that should be taken wrongly. the problem with babble, and it's not a problem as such is that all babblers come from all over the world, so different words mean something entirely different to others...i.e, probably not he greatest one to use..fanny( i don't know how my american friends spell it) means something entirely different to us in the uk.don't ever apologise smores, as even though we are from all over the world, we are all different people with certain attitudes and personalities

When I was in Vermont for X-mas it was ten below at night

9:08 pm

Lizlin

Turning the babble into words is an important step ... First words of a newspaper article on bt yahoo - about babies speaking really but it made me laugh!

9:09 pm

Minveryork

That is funny Lizlin.What is bt yahoo though? British yahoo?

9:10 pm

Minveryork

Hello Lizlin!How are you doing? Welcome back to the chog

9:10 pm

Yes - it's the British Telecom yahoo site - I had an account in the UK but still seem to have access now, even though we closed the account.

9:10 pm

Lizlin

Was just checking out the world when I saw that headline and thought I ought to share it!

9:17 pm

Jillyjill

Hello all and good bye minv!!

9:48 pm

uusue2

night min, and hi jill!

9:55 pm

Jillyjill

Hi uusue, how are you and Frank holding up?

9:59 pm

uusue2

pretty well, Jill

9:59 pm

uusue2

his appetite is getting worse again but otherwise he doesn't seem to have much in the way of side effects

10:03 pm

Jillyjill

Is he maintaining 1) fluids 2) his weight?

10:04 pm

uusue2

his weight seems to be pretty stable (although rather low); he should probably be getting more fluids than he is, but he isn't significantly dehydrated

10:06 pm

Jillyjill

And I read his labs are good...so I would think it's pretty much par for the course. He will have his up and down days...

10:06 pm

uusue2

indeed. It is all rather wearing...

10:07 pm

Jillyjill

And how is your shoulder?

10:08 pm

uusue2

it's actually a little better after Friday's physical therapy appointment, which is nice

10:08 pm

Jillyjill

Yay!!

10:09 pm

uusue2

indeed :-)

10:09 pm

uusue2

and how is your Frank doing?

10:10 pm

Jillyjill

Hubby doing really well, has some moments, is a little easier to 'set off' than he used to be...

10:11 pm

uusue2

glad he is doing well. I remember he had some setbacks after his surgery.

10:11 pm

Jindigo

good evening everyone - back for my last one and I am desperate need of a clue. NA 5/12 - please and thank you!

10:11 pm

Jillyjill

10:16 pm

cosdem

10:16 pm

Jillyjill

Animals are really good for older folks, gives them something to care for; a reason to exist

10:17 pm

cosdem

I told her we would come visit or she could come visit any time. Im just worried I guess but she does have friends and shes always on the phone. so shes ok im sure
