4:00 am
grannyrose

LOL, mimi...my heart goes out to you...so know where you are coming from.
4:02 am
MimiCat

Though I've certainly had a tough time, it's nothing compared to some of our Babble friends who've had much more to deal with...I feel blessed to have had the support of my friends and family in such a trying time. In most situations there is still something to be grateful for, right?
4:02 am

have another 2 weeks to go, wearing this blessed splint. and the painful area on the medial aspect of my knee is no better. * sigh* if my surgeon says more surgery, you will find me in the rubber room.

But it's still OK to complain a bit...we have that right, too! Will hold good thoughts for you, rose, and you are included in my prayers.
4:04 am

good heavens sprite...i hope you had some lovely down time while they were away.
4:05 am

So you and hubby had some alone time, sprite....was it good or were you too worried about the kids?

we did, grin. Just the two of us... quite enjoyable. But happy to have them back too.
4:05 am
grannyrose

LOLOL, snap mimi
4:06 am

I'm going to try to get a bit more sleep. Bye for now and hugs all around.
4:06 am

it was a blast seeing them prepare for their trips, ro4. Caya started about a month ago, making li5, telling us what to buy and when to bring her etc. Tim started one day before and had to run upstairs to put his last things in his bag during the evening meal just before leaving, lol. We didn't know if we had to pick him up from Schiphol or not.
4:14 am
grannyrose

lol, sprite...and the battle of the sexes never changes...right?
4:15 am
sprite

absolutely true, lol. Tim is 17 yo now, so I didn't feel like I had to tell him to prepare better. And he went, came back and didn't complain, so I guess it went well without my prodding, lol.
4:16 am
grannyrose

that's the way they learn, sprite. males i mean...all 3 of my sons did the same
4:17 am

4:20 am

yayyyy for education! We are teaching them that as well. Basic survival skills in the jungle of today's world.
4:24 am
grannyrose

*giggle* sprite, i believed that they should know the basic survival skills.
4:25 am

4:33 am

lolol ro4... but didn't you have to clean the seat before sitting down yourself?
4:34 am

Tourists were able to climb up to the precarious perch until 1916, when those privileges were revoked in response to the Black Tom incident. Around 2 a.m. on July 30, Black Tom, once an island in the New York Harbor, was rocked by the explosion of two million tons of war materials such as TNT, black powder, shrapnel and dynamite. The blast was the equivalent of a 5.5-on-the-Richter Scale earthquake; shrapnel flew across the night sky and embedded itself in the Statue of Liberty. Windows shattered as far as 25 miles away.It was later determined that German agents intent on stopping the munitions from getting to their English enemies had ignited the supply. The Statue of Liberty’s torch was closed, partially due to infrastructure damage from the blast and partially just out of concern for terrorism. It’s been closed ever since—but you can still appreciate the view from the top with this TorchCam, installed in 2011.

3:43 pm

I think you are thinking of a different word,molly? -- visc***
3:44 pm
jesdraggon

gonna have to side with molly on this one nan. "Vi8 humor" is the gel part of the eyeball contents...
3:45 pm
jesdraggon

the word you are thinking of can certainly describe the texture of the vi8 though.
3:45 pm
Marjetta

the one you are thinking of Nan is the first one I thought of too. But it tells the density or thickness of any fluid.
3:45 pm
cybernan

but vi 8 means hard, brittle, like glass
3:46 pm
mael

also means the gel-like substance inside the eye
3:47 pm
mael

a substance which I assume is rather visc**** :)
3:51 pm
cybernan

yep -- as in floaters on the eyeball (just looked it up)... vi 8 humour whereas the actual gell substance in the eyeball is aqu**** humour. Had never heard of that before -- always associated it with high-fired pottery, as in vi 8 glazes.
