hello scouser
2:14 am
rubyfoo

do you finally have spring? Ours was so late in coming, I had practically abandoned hope
2:16 am
scouser

spring sort of dashed past us and we had a couple of summery days in the week. Now it is rainy and cold. lots of flowers out - a good year for ceanothus I think, some fabulous blue shrubs here.
2:23 am
rubyfoo

I'm back,had to shut down and refresh
2:23 am
rubyfoo

I don't know that plant,but we have lots of roses and peonies asnd there are still iris and tons of pelargonium.
2:24 am
rubyfoo

The fruit is suffering,though, and the tomato plants are sad and shriveled
2:25 am

uh oh, dh is bback and I have to go

good morning/evening Babblers----Hi Sprite
3:06 am

hi puglet :)
3:07 am
puglet

is it morning or evening for you?
3:07 am
sprite

morning... just after 10 am
3:08 am
puglet

its 4 am here
3:08 am
sprite

ouch... insomnia bugging you?
3:09 am
puglet

Iam always up by 3
3:09 am
sprite

:(
3:10 am
sprite

did you hear anything from Gradyn yet?
3:11 am
puglet

so far his mom hasent contacted them
3:11 am
sprite

so he is still with his dad?
3:12 am
puglet

yes---I hope he stays there
3:12 am
sprite

that would be the best solution of all
3:13 am
puglet

yes, until his mother can change her ways
3:13 am
sprite

yes, and when Gradyn is older, things aren't as difficult either
3:15 am
puglet

That will be good. He needs the chance to just be a little boy without carrying adult problems..Life is hard enough without all that
3:16 am
sprite

so very true. And when he is older, it will be easier for him to say he doesn't want to go, or to stand up to her and go to your sister.
3:18 am
puglet

I wish I knew how to help his mother but she dont even speak to me--she was up in church--so she knows right from wronge--I just dont understand her
3:19 am
sprite

people can only be helped when they are ready for it, I think.
3:20 am
puglet

He use to be afraid to play outside at his dads before he got him.Afraid his mom might see him doing anything
3:20 am
puglet

thats true but Iam afraid it might be at the cost of her boys
3:20 am
sprite

sounds like she did quite a number on the boy :(
3:23 am
puglet

Yes, I think she has. He likes to see her now and then, but he dosent like to stay with her for any time. I really think he is afraid to love her to be honest for she has hurt him so much
3:24 am
sprite

all I can say is I am grateful he has such a good protector in you, puglet
3:25 am
puglet

thanks but theres only so much I can do. I think all kids should have a chance to just be kids
3:26 am
sprite

I agree, and so many of them don't get that chance. But, having been there, I know that having an adult who takes you seriously and tries to protect you and tell you good things about yourself makes a LOT of difference.
3:29 am
puglet

thank you for that Sprite--Its nice to know what little I do may help in the long run. I was so hurtful to my heart to see him reaching out for me when he was younger ,wanting me to save him from having to go to his mom after she got out of school or work--and I couldnt do anything
3:30 am
sprite

he will forever know you are in his corner. You proved that clearly when you spoke up for him in court. That is priceless.
3:33 am
puglet

I just hope he grows into a good young man.
3:33 am
puglet

Do you have kids Sprite
3:33 am
sprite

I have 2. A boy of 17 and a girl of 15 yo.
3:34 am
puglet

OH poor you TEENAGERS! lol
3:35 am
sprite

*grin* Most days are ok. They are good people. Just total aliens some days... when the hormones rule, good sense is nowhere to be found, lol.
3:36 am
puglet

these are hard years to attend too. Iam so glad those years are over for me
3:38 am
sprite

my husband and I will be happy when they will be over for us too... it is taxing. But we try to enjoy them too. Seeing the kids grow up to be good adults is a great thing.
3:39 am
puglet

I can remember my parents thinking I was an alien too during my teenage years too--lol
3:39 am
rubyfoo

3:39 am

wb ruby, and hiya
3:40 am
rubyfoo

yay sprite and little pug are here!
3:40 am
puglet

If you dont mind me asking Sprite do you have a relationship with your parents now adays?
3:40 am
rubyfoo

just bback from a haircut, DIL left early this AM and it's sunny again
3:40 am
sprite

I think most teenagers are aliens, lol. It is a world apart from ours.
3:41 am
puglet

HEY RUBY!!hugs to you---it is so hot and muggy here I wish for winter already
3:41 am
sprite

no I don't, puglet. I do have the occasional contact with my mother, but only when necessary. I have corresponded for about a year with my father and then had to cut him off again.
3:42 am
sprite

did you enjoy her stay, ruby?
3:42 am
puglet

thats so sad for you Sprite--they have missed out on your family too I guess
3:43 am
rubyfoo

it was an excellent visit and I think her dad was invigorated a little by it. For me, there is no baggage, so it is just pleasant and she helps a lot and makes no demands.
3:44 am
rubyfoo

And last night I made the best ;gazpacho of my lifew!
3:44 am
sprite

I have allowed my mother to be a grandmother to our children, under strict rules. She lived up to them and the children enjoyed her company when they were small. When they grew older, they started to be bothered by how selfcentered she is though, and decided not to go stay with her anymore.
3:44 am
sprite

awesome, ruby. Just what was needed. Is your stove back to working order yet?
3:44 am
rubyfoo

she made me write down my recipe (which was all just in my head), so now it's in e-mail form
3:45 am
sprite

but you know... may sound stupid for a women of almost 47, but I DO miss parents. Not my parents. Just... parents.
3:45 am
rubyfoo

the repairman who came said it was just in the knobs but when we changed over the outside tanks, the smell stopped
3:46 am
sprite

aw ok, so it was really a dangerous situation!
3:46 am
rubyfoo

sprite, Burt is 87 and misses ever having had a decent relationship with his parents. He is filled with regrets about that
3:46 am
puglet

Its nice to see you in such high spririts Ruby! I can almost see you dancing in the sunshine--lol
3:47 am
rubyfoo

lol, pu! I miss my mother ever day (and I'm 70), but she was my best friend, so that's different
3:47 am
sprite

I can relate, ruby, I really can. And I think, him being so old, he is turning towards his past more and more anyway... which brings up the pain again... and makes him focus in more... it is an endless spiral downwards for him, I am afraid.
3:47 am
puglet

I miss mine as well and my grandmother too--My mom died of cancer at the age of 50
3:47 am
sprite

would you mind sending me the recipe, ruby? I'd love to try it out!
3:48 am
rubyfoo

exactly, sprite. I try to get him to accept his past, all the "AA" steps and the St. Francis prayer, but he can't let go
3:49 am
rubyfoo

{{pug}} that is waaaay too young. My mother lived to be about 84 and my dad to 93, so I have been very lucky
3:49 am
sprite

he would need a lot of love and support for that, ruby, and huge amounts of warmth.
3:49 am
rubyfoo

"done" sprite, as soon as I take a break from seeing you two
3:49 am
sprite

awesome, thanks ruby! :)
3:49 am
rubyfoo

the problem is that I am a pretty cold fish and too impatient, as you noticed when you were here, sprite.
3:50 am
puglet

My hubby has been dried for about 10 years now(with a mess up last year)
3:50 am
rubyfoo

the recipe looks complicated and the quantities are imprecise, so if you just try to "balance" the ingredients visually, it should work
3:50 am
sprite

ruby, sweetie, you didn't strike me as cold at all. But you and Burt have developed a relationship in which it would be really hard to be loving and warm as much as he would need.
3:51 am
rubyfoo

true, but sad
3:51 am
sprite

ouch about the mess up, puglet... that must have been hard. Wtg for him though on being dry.
3:52 am
sprite

and it goes both ways, ruby... you don't get what you need either. Which is just as sad.
3:52 am
puglet

its been a rough battle through out the years thats for sure--but I got strength
3:52 am
rubyfoo

as sprite knows, pug, we drink around here but not to excess (although I was sorely tempted by the Genevre!!!)
3:53 am
sprite

you have a loving heart, puglet... I think that is your strength :)
3:53 am
puglet

are you two close enough for visiting
3:53 am
sprite

no, not to excess at all, ruby, you just know how to enjoy good stuff!
3:53 am
rubyfoo

I can hear your strength, little pug, when you write about Grayden
3:53 am
sprite

yes we are, puglet. It is about 12 hours by train
3:53 am
rubyfoo

it was a long, very hard, trip for sprite. She is very brave
3:53 am
puglet

thats really nice!
3:54 am
sprite

it was worth it. I would do it over right away if I had the money, I swear.
3:54 am
rubyfoo

I have gottn more and more fearful about cities and airports and even train stations, so travelling is hard for me
3:54 am
rubyfoo

{{sprite}}
3:54 am
puglet

I have to admit Iam a red head and after so much I got a pretty good temper when pushed so far--lol
3:55 am
rubyfoo

when I fly (very rarely now) I use wheelchairs in the airports
3:55 am
sprite

yesssss yay for redheads! A bit of temper is a good thing.
3:55 am
sprite

that is so wise, ruby. It makes traveling more doable.
3:55 am
rubyfoo

<-- loves redheads. Many of my closest friends, throughout my life, have had red hair!
3:56 am
sprite

I used to be chestnut. But nowadays I am very dark with lots and lots of gray.
3:56 am
rubyfoo

red hair is very special. We are friends with an Irish family who keep a house on our road for coming to ki in the winter and their younger daughter, a beautiful, green-eyed redhead, dyes her hair black!
3:57 am
rubyfoo

pug sprite has beautiful, shiny, long hair
3:57 am
rubyfoo

ski* in winter
3:57 am
rubyfoo

her hair sparkles in the sun
3:57 am
sprite

arrrrggghh, that is criminal. She will grow over that.
3:57 am
puglet

I bet you both are lovely young women inside and out
3:58 am
rubyfoo

she went through a goth period
3:58 am
sprite

I am fat and not pretty, but a good person at heart, grin. Ruby is small, sl4 and pretty and vivacious.
3:58 am
rubyfoo

I hit my "looks" peak at about 45, puglet, now I'm a little chicken old lady, wrinkled and with greyish hair
3:59 am
puglet

I had long hair all my life and decided about five years ago to go short and dont regret it one bit, I love it
3:59 am
rubyfoo

is your hair curly or straight?
3:59 am
puglet

natural curly
4:00 am
sprite

I can imagine, puglet. I am the other way around. My hair never really wanted to grow long and I yearned for long hair. Then, after my pregnancies, all of a sudden my hair grew like mad and now I have long hair.
4:00 am
sprite

oh I envy you! Must be awesome to have natural curls.
4:01 am
puglet

its nicer with the short hair. My long hair was so thick! Now that Iam older its thinned out alot
4:01 am
rubyfoo

before I got sick at 47 and lost all of it (even eyebrows), my hair was dark brown, curly and very easy. It always looked great and I could cut it myself. After it came back, it was much finer and very !!!thin. But, hey, it's 23 years later and I'm still alive
4:02 am
sprite

and I am very happy you are, ruby :D
4:02 am
puglet

Me too Ruby!

hehehe, great minds, ruby
4:04 am
puglet

ahh thanks--I would love to travel by train--it must be exciting to do so
4:05 am
rubyfoo

when I was working and travelling a lot, I thought nothing of flying from Miami to Dallas to have dinner with a friend
4:05 am
rubyfoo

and European trains are wonderful
4:05 am
sprite

it was. I had invested in first class tickets, knowing that it would be a tough journey anyway. And it was worth it. Delightful to feel the freedom of traveling again!
4:06 am

4:11 am

5:20 am
crosshair

our system is pretty good here and usually the mrs and i do not wait for much of anything,the exception being obgyn,s.we are in an area that has exactly two obgyn,s to serve 5 towns,two over them with populations tween 20 and 35 thousand
5:20 am

so todays appt we have been waiting 6 months for
5:22 am

5:23 am
crosshair

one is so unreplaceable,our local hospital pulled her out of her own private medical centre and she actually has an entire wing of the hospital to herself complete with 2 washrooms and 3 exam rooms
5:25 am
crosshair

her front desk team fills them up and she just goes from one room to the other via interconnecting doors in order of set up.just round and round and round
5:26 am
grannyrose

unbelievable. she must be an incredible doctor. and young??
5:27 am
crosshair

5:28 am
crosshair

been at it for many years,must of really flew through school and set up in her mid 20s.i remember her when mrs and i used to go see her.boys she was sure easy on the eyes;))
5:28 am
crosshair

5:29 am
crosshair

5:34 am

5:37 am
grannyrose

*giggle*have just meandered all over the house looking for my favourite cardigan. DH who did the vacuuming today said ' that's right, something bid did get sucked up by the vacuum cleaner today "
5:38 am
crosshair

hehe.we have three cats,so every time i vacuum,i have to tear down the filter system and remove giant hair balls
5:38 am
grannyrose

yeah, crossy, waiting room times are evil, no matter where you are.
5:38 am
grannyrose

better in the filter system, than in your cats, mate
5:39 am
crosshair

5 years ago,the average wait time for the bone Dr was 5!! hours..and no,even if you did live in town,you could not go home and have them call you.you were signed in,and there you sat
5:40 am
crosshair

along with about 50 others
5:40 am
grannyrose

yeah...ditto here. if i am at work, i am expected to sit there, in my scrubs, and wa4.
5:42 am
crosshair

well,at least you are getting paid.when we made an appt with him we had to take the entire day off for what turns out to be about 5 minutes of face time with the great man himself
5:42 am

5:45 am

6:12 am
crosshair

scrabby! i have told you before how to rabbit proof your wiring
6:13 am
grannyrose

for goodness sake!!! scrabs....hello
6:14 am
crosshair

you go the a auto supply store and ask for however many feet of 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inch wire harness tubing that you need.it slips right around whatever wires you want to protect and the stuff is like 20 cents a foot
6:14 am
Scrabbler

That bunny made his move in a second just as I plugged in my phone and just before I lifted the cord out of his reach. Grrr.
6:14 am
grannyrose

oops1 nearly 9:30pm here. better eat something. lol. i finally have an appetite.
6:15 am
Scrabbler

I have used aquarium tubing in some places of my house.
6:15 am
crosshair

bad bunny
6:15 am
Scrabbler

I will look for that stuff, Crossy. TY.
6:15 am
Scrabbler

I have also used plastic tubing that is used for computer cables.
6:16 am
crosshair

stuff has a slit for the entire length on one side of the tubing.you lat it out,measure and cut the length you need,slide the wires in and put a bit of tape every 3 feet or so and yer done
6:17 am
Scrabbler

I must do that because I purchased yet another floor lamp for my bedroom.
6:17 am
crosshair

yup.would be good for lamp cable
6:18 am
Andree

do they chew the cable scrabbler
6:18 am
crosshair

stuff is so cheap you can keep 30 feet of the stuff coiled up in the closet and when you do you weekly check for break in attempts you can just rplace as needed
6:19 am
Scrabbler

They chew anything and everything even when "chew toys" are available.
6:19 am
Sam

I once had a house rabbit that ate phone wires. I simply taped the wires to the wall so they weren't laying across Harvey's path, so he didn't treat them as vines across his rabbit run.
6:19 am
crosshair

that would be the good thing about living overseas.with the 240v they use,the darn cats/rabbits would only chew it once:)
6:19 am
Scrabbler

Mostly my house is very well bunny-proofed
6:21 am
crosshair

though i never hear of uk/euros talking about it.maybe the critters sense the high voltage:)
6:23 am

I think everybody who was at our wedding in '97 has been here at least once (several 2-12 times\)
9:28 am
trentsnana

Where do you live, Judy?
9:28 am
Judi

They are all within a 6 - 8 hours drive from us. I think it's because hubby and I are both the youngest in our respective families. We are the ones "expected" to make the trek to visit others.

2:34 pm

All I gleaned is that it lowers the cost of the testing. Here is a blurb with where to find more information.
Individuals interested in learning more about either the BRCA1 or BRCA2 tests should ask their doctors for more information. They and their health care providers can also visit the company's website, www.dnatraits.com, or call (713) 868-1438 for more information.

it appears that a company found a gene that would indicate likelihood of breast cancer and tried to patent it so that tests finding that gene would have to pay that company as the "owner" SCOTUS said in legalese: BS

I am trying really hard to stay awake. But I don't think it's working. How are you?

Nice to have the kiddo home at last, no doubt!?
11:52 pm
stidmama

Yes, I am so very pleased he had a good time.
11:52 pm
stidmama

I hope the new place he is living will work out for him. :-)
11:52 pm
Cathyar

Is he happy with it?
11:53 pm
stidmama

Tom and he went out and moved things away from the outside of the house today, I will go with Tom tomorrow for one last push for the inside (there are a few things I still haven't been able to find); and then I will stop going inside, and just wait for a huge empty space to appear in the yard. I have an awful lot of actual gardening to attend to.
11:54 pm
stidmama

I think he is happy with the new place, yes. It's a room in a man's house, and the man is so like one of my sets of grandparents that it is going to feel quite comfortable, I think.
11:56 pm
Cathyar

Well, that's a good start then! Certainly, once he is settled it will all come together for him and you'll be able to rest easy. I can't imagine how I'll feel when the day comes my boy moves out.
11:57 pm
stidmama

It's a bittersweet time, for sure. Of course, Grant is still at home, but at his age he comes and goes mostly as he pleases.
11:58 pm
MLFAN17

hello
11:58 pm
stidmama

By the time the house is complete, he will be very close to graduating from high school; an not long after that I imagine he'll get a job and get his own place.
