2:02 am
flosey

2:03 am
puglet

I like love stories
2:04 am
grannyrose

flosey, that is so special, hun. i think just maybe this one is a keeper...lol
2:04 am
puglet

Rose what did you do to wear yourself out---or should I ask?
2:05 am
flosey

you bet, rose
2:06 am
grannyrose

hmmm. 3 loads of washing, but himself hung it out, folded, sorted and ironed 3 loads from saturday, then shopping and chemist for 1 1/2 hours.
2:06 am
flosey

wow rose, you have a keeper there yourself
2:07 am
grannyrose

i am trying so hard to get back to 'normal'.
2:07 am
puglet

oh you did have a busy day--But I bet you feel good too to be able to
2:07 am
grannyrose

i know, flosey. for me he is a man in a million.
2:08 am
flosey

had a quick email from daughter along with pics - one of her swimming in the Adriatic
2:08 am
grannyrose

yes pugs....it felt good to be able to do the basic things. tomorrow i drive the car for the first time in 3 weeks.
2:09 am
flosey

they went to England for a wedding, so while that far, took a side trip over to Greece
2:09 am

oh, nice flosey...as you do, hun, as you do.
2:10 am

Mine can be good at times. He likes doing the laundry(though Ive had several things come out looking like ti-ddye)lal
2:10 am
puglet

2:10 am
grannyrose

lolol, pugs...do so know what you mean, hun.
2:11 am
grannyrose

pugs, have review appointment with ortho. surgeon. re splint on right knee.
2:11 am
flosey

the don't get the difference between things that go with this load and other things separately
2:12 am
flosey

at least he hasn't made the mistake I made - as a kid, helping while mom was sick, turned everyone's undies pink
2:13 am
puglet

yep mine just puts a load in..no sorting and he is off limits to using the bleach! And you would die seeing his way of hanging them out. But I guess its the thought thats counts
2:13 am
grannyrose

flosey, and they don't understand, don't hang things in a clump...space the wash out so that the air can blow through easier.
2:14 am
flosey

70 years ago, men weren't wearing pink undies
2:14 am
grannyrose

lol...i should hope not, flosey
2:15 am
puglet

Rose are you going to get to dump the brace since you are doing so good
2:15 am
joso

soon as our backs are turned, you start picking on the guys, lol
2:15 am
flosey

we don't very often hang out, usually use dryer
2:15 am
grannyrose

pugs, not until the surgeon says to do so.
2:15 am
puglet

hehe--Hello Joso
2:15 am
flosey

lol joso, not picking really, just enjoying a chuckle
2:16 am
grannyrose

2:18 am
sprite

hi flosey :) How are you today?
2:18 am
grannyrose

pugs, i say, if it's cheap, iron it to look nice, if it's costly, iron it because it desrves to be taken care of...having said that, i don't iron sheets, socks, pj's, and smalls
2:18 am
sprite

hiya pug *hug*

great thanks sprite, and you?
2:19 am
puglet

I like to iron--we had to iron everything when I was at home
2:19 am
grannyrose

pugs, i did so absolutely pick on the ruru.
2:19 am
sprite

hiya rose and joso! *hugs*
Iron? Haz does the ironing. I don't iron at all. My family knows it: if you want to wear something that needs ironing, you are on your own. Don't buy that kind of stuff!
2:20 am
joso

pug, on the other hand seems to get up earlier and earlier
2:20 am
sprite

I am ok. Feeling more positive today, having faith I can handle the changes.
2:20 am
flosey

good for you, Sprite, hang in
2:20 am
sprite

what did the ruru do? Did he pun you into a pitiful state?
2:20 am
puglet

Iam a 2=3 hour sleeper
2:21 am
sprite

am glad you are great, flosey :)
2:22 am
flosey

thanks sprite
2:22 am
puglet

Looks like Sprite and Rose are getting back upon the horse(so to say)
2:22 am
flosey

how do you get along with so little sleep, pugs
2:22 am
sprite

too true, pug. Even dreamt of getting on horses!
2:23 am
puglet

guess Iam just use to it---If I sleep more I wake with a headache
2:23 am
sprite

you must be so chronically tired, pug.
2:24 am
puglet

no not at all( or I dont think I am)
2:24 am
joso

yes, changing lifestyle is hard at first sprite, if you can keeep at it the changes just become how you live, the more you practice the easier it gets
2:24 am
puglet

did you use to ride Sprite? I miss riding so much
2:25 am
sprite

I will hold on to that, joso, thanks :)
2:25 am
sprite

I used to as a child and young adult, pug. But I was never any good at it. My daughter rides and she has good lessons and rides pretty well.
2:26 am
joso

you can get bike leasons?
2:27 am
joso

*lesons
2:27 am
puglet

Ive rode and shown and worked ground training babies for a stable and even one year my sister and I ran a riding barn at a state park here in our state
2:28 am
sprite

*giggles* Yes, in the Netherlands you can. Bike is a pretty basic means of transportation here. Immigrants can learn to ride one if they want.
2:28 am
sprite

pug, you are in a whole other class than me... I was the child that sat on the horse while it walked its rounds, lol.
2:29 am
puglet

My right knee wont let me make the rotation to ride a bike---I have tried several times
2:29 am
joso

here you get training wheels, which you beg youir parents to take off until they relent
2:30 am
sprite

yeah, we have those too. Also the dads who run with you, holding you until you go too fast.
2:30 am
puglet

I really miss my horses. I even got into driving too.Went on several cross country drives and rides
2:30 am
sprite

that is frustrating, pug. Did you hurt your knee?
2:31 am
puglet

just bad knees from long hours on hard floors working and riding most of my life I guess
2:31 am
grannyrose

{{hugs}} pugs, can so empathise with you, hun
2:32 am
puglet

a few friends and myself started a saddle club (that is still going) several years ago
2:32 am
sprite

what is a saddle club? Do you make saddles? Or put them on horses?
2:33 am
puglet

I bought me a bike and every spring I get it out thinking I can do it and the knee just wont do it
2:34 am
joso

what sort of setup do you have now pug, I think you are not in a major city or town, and know you have a crek to walk along. are you on a farm?
2:34 am
joso

*creek
2:34 am
puglet

we put on shows and had trail rides for members
2:34 am
sprite

perhaps you can train your knee by lying on your back and making bike movements every day?
2:35 am
puglet

I live in the country on about a acre and then have 13 acres on the river
2:35 am
grannyrose

or perhaps use a stationary bike. you can adjust the tension, until it is like riding a 'normal' bike.
2:36 am
puglet

I got one of those Rose. My knee wont take the whole rotation that is needed to peddle
2:37 am
grannyrose

my stationary bike is set on 25% tension. i will increase the tension until it is equal to a road bike.
2:37 am
grannyrose

pugs, you are female...grit your teeth, sweetie. you can do it.
2:38 am
sprite

well, better be careful with the knee then. If it won't do the movement, it won't. Don't force things.
2:38 am
puglet

when I do do it Rose the next few days the knee is so swollen that I have to use a cane to walk with
2:38 am
grannyrose

i remember getting on my bike....after my total knee....i just had to grit my teeth, and let it follow thru.
2:39 am
grannyrose

okay...cold/ice pack it post exercise, plus elevation for 15 minutes.
2:40 am
puglet

I will just try that Rose
2:40 am
grannyrose

good on you, hun.
2:40 am
joso

swollen and unable to walk does seem like the sort of gentle hint to mind
2:40 am
puglet

when I have to get down on knees to clean I pay for that too
2:41 am
grannyrose

lol...i never do that, pugs.
2:41 am
sprite

babble dictionary: medlam - utterly chaotic compilation of songs
2:41 am
grannyrose

pugs, do you have some form of arthritis diagnosed?
2:41 am
puglet

when gradyn comes I like to get down and play in the dirt with him and his cars-lol
2:42 am
sprite

sit on your butt then, pug, and not on your knees. Sitting on knees is extremely taxing.
2:42 am
joso

I recently got knee pads pug, thought they were too wussy for a long time, a godsend
2:42 am
puglet

not that I know of but it runs in our family. My dad,grandfather and two sisters has it and gout
2:42 am
jillibus

sorry I disappeared without a goodnight, but it was time and I got into my jammies, so goodnight/evening/day and hi sprite but ...zzzzzz
2:43 am
sprite

ogood for you, joso!
2:43 am
grannyrose

pugs, i use a garden kneeler. it allows me to kneel, with knees over-hanging the 'cushion' and handles to help you to get up.
2:43 am
puglet

gnight Jilli
2:43 am
sprite

hehehe hi and bye, jilli, sleep well *hug*
2:43 am

g'nite jilly
2:44 am
puglet

I have 2 sisters that got gout while in grade school
2:44 am
flosey

night jilli and congrats on second place tonight
2:44 am
grannyrose

aahh, pugs. as my endocrinologist said...you have hit the jackpot. how you react to that diagnosis, is totally up to you.
2:44 am
joso

Right Idea gran, I was installing a floor and shingling a roof
2:45 am
sprite

so true, rose. same thing I tell myself. Not the illness is central point... I am.
2:45 am
grannyrose

jilli, sweet sleep, hun
2:45 am
puglet

well I dont let pain stop me from doing what I want--I just know that I will pay for it for a few days
2:46 am
puglet

I can take quite abit of pain
2:47 am
flosey

falling asleep, time to get to bed, goodnight all
2:47 am
puglet

I think as we age we all deal with some sort of pain in our bodies
2:47 am
flosey

be back tomorrow for the 25 remaining
2:47 am
grannyrose

pugs, are you on glucosamine and chondritine ? it has kept my rheumatoid and osteo-arthritis at bay for over 12 years.
2:48 am
joso

g'nite flossy
2:48 am
sprite

as Haz once said: Aging is not for the timid.
2:48 am
grannyrose

flosey, sweet dreams, hun. and again, congrats on a wonderful milestone reached.
2:49 am
sprite

night flosey, sleep well *hug*
2:49 am
puglet

Rose I dont take anything but a daily vitamin(for women 50+) and I have not been to a doctor for years
2:50 am
puglet

night Flosey
2:52 am
puglet

Iam really pretty healthy besides the hernea and the usual aches and pains that goes with aging
2:52 am
grannyrose

okay, sorry to break the news to you...but you really need to look at your pain-control regime. you need an anti-inflammatory, i.e. ibuprofen, and a general analgesic, like paracetamol.
2:52 am
sprite

glucosamine/chondritine is a food supplement that really makes a difference, pug. I'd give it a try if I were you. It is not expensive.
2:53 am
puglet

are these things found in the vitamin isle?
2:54 am
sprite

and pug... one of my therapists told me that it was my ability to handle really bad pain that make me go on while I needed to rest... it can work against us, alas. Also, pain steals your energy. If you can bring down the pain, you will have more energy.
2:54 am
sprite

yes pug. Or order it online.
2:55 am
puglet

Rose when my knee swells I do take over the counter pain aids
2:55 am
sprite

I expect my magnesium malate to arrive today, rose :D
2:55 am
joso

my dad swore by glucosamine, for joint pain
2:55 am
sprite

your dad was wise, joso!
2:56 am
puglet

I have that for my dog can I take hers? LOL
2:56 am
joso

he was, was also fun to vacation with
2:56 am
sprite

that is smart, pug. And remember to use cooling pads. My husband swears by cooling everything that swells and is hot (no puns allowed here) and he is so right, it really helps.
2:56 am
sprite

lol pug, yes probably. Though you will need a higher dose than a kitteh.
2:57 am
puglet

if the weather permits I do go to the river to soak(since I dont have a tub) and that helps a bunch
2:58 am
sprite

oh yes, that sounds awesome. Cooling in natural water :)
2:58 am
sprite

side no4: when I have me5 I want to have le5 too... and today we can't, darn it.
2:59 am
joso

at 90 degrees I think I would get a straw and live in the river
3:00 am
puglet

I just about do that Joso--me and the dogs
3:00 am
sprite

god yes. Me too.
3:00 am
grannyrose

pugs, as sprite suggests. ice packs in the freezer are an absolute must.
3:01 am
grannyrose

ice packs and elevation..
3:01 am
sprite

I never bothered with them until I met my husband, rose. But he has convinced me.
3:01 am
puglet

I will have to buy me a couple to keep on hand. I just dont baby myself that much and I guess I should
3:02 am
sprite

yes you should, lolll. It is not babying, hun. It is taking good care of yourself. It will improve the quality of your life and help you to enjoy more the things you do.
3:03 am
joso

I'm kind of like that too pug, but at some point you just have to buy the kneepads
3:03 am
grannyrose

hope i don't bore you, but please google 'pain away' cream...it contains arnica plus lots of other goodies. it , along with paracetamol osteo, was the only thing which kept me mobile until my total knee replacement.
3:03 am
puglet

Iam more on taking care of the others---as I think you guys are too
3:04 am
puglet

okay Rose
3:04 am
grannyrose

pugs, if it is too far out of your reach, please email me your postal addy. i will send you some.
3:04 am
puglet

Joso I got enough fat on my knees I dont need pads--lol
3:05 am
puglet

I will rose if you let me pay you for your trouble
3:05 am
grannyrose

*giggle* pugs...

grannyrose

3:08 am
joso

ah pug, ya know what i mean, I don't have much patience when someone winges at every little thing, If you don't work through things you never toughen up, but chronic pain when their is an answer, just silly
3:08 am
puglet

I have always since childhood have had bad ankles and feet. Iam completely flat-footed
3:08 am

3:12 am
sprite

ok, climbing on the crate: there is a difference between pampering yourself and taking care of yourself. Of course we need to be able to do stuff in spite of pain. But we also need to research the ways in which we can help ourselves function better and easier. Ok, stepping down, you may carry on.
3:12 am
sprite

hi pink, yvw

3:24 am
sprite

rose, I also bought some seeds and stuff that I need to make a healthy bread. Am gonna try that and see if I eat a slice each morning. Or lunch.
3:25 am
puglet

back and ready to carry on
3:25 am
sprite

yayyy wb pug :)
3:25 am
puglet

is it a wheat bread Sprite
3:26 am
sprite

no, it doesn't use any kind of grain. It is a bread that has only good stuff in it. It is from the Gabriel Method.
3:27 am
puglet

did they give you a list of foods for you Sprite
3:28 am
sprite

yes they did, pug, but they also told me that nowadays the idea is to eat as healthy as possible. Not like in the old days when you were prohibited to eat ugh kinds of food.
3:28 am
sprite

I have a handy list... it has for each food group a green list (food you can eat every day), a yellow list (stuff you can eat as a compromis) and a red list (things to eat never or very rarely).
3:29 am
puglet

Just changing to a healthier diet will do wonders
3:29 am
sprite

exactly, that is what they say here as well. Regular eating, healthy food, lots of exercise.
3:30 am
puglet

we are from an era where food was given as award for this and that
3:31 am
puglet

for now I wouldnt even worry about losing wieght cause that will come as you change your diet
3:31 am
puglet

and for me fried foods were a common intake at home
3:32 am
sprite

I have a serious eating disorder, pug. My father used to beat the food into me. I wasn't allowed sweets. My whole experience with food was a mess when I left home at 16 and I never got it right. Having my family and Rob who cooks dinner has saved my life, I think.
3:33 am
puglet

ahh Sprite hugs--how awful--what was his purpose on doing that
3:34 am
sprite

who knows, sigh. Speeding things up, having control... he has narcissistic personality disorder.
3:35 am
joso

different value of food after living in nazi occupied lands?
3:35 am
sprite

anyway, not to complain, just wanted to share... I have a lot to learn and unlearn when it comes to food. That clinic is gonna have its work cut out for us, lol.
3:36 am
sprite

joso: yeah that is probably part of it as well.
3:39 am
joso

for the most part it's pretty simple, lots of veg, some lean meat or fish, some fruit, a little bread or rice, avoid fat, oil, sugar
3:39 am
sprite

if you guys want the recipe of the health bread, let me know and I will translate it.
3:40 am
sprite

thanks joso :) Yeah I know it is kind of simple. But not with an eating disorder. Will get there, though. In a year time, things will have improved a lot.
3:41 am
joso

I understand, the eating disorder will affect things in ways I don't understand
3:42 am
sprite

yeah it complicates things. But in the end I still will have to make the adjustments. And I have enlisted help to get there.
3:43 am
joso

more power to you sprite
3:43 am
sprite

thank you :) I can't fail with so much support from my babble friends.
3:48 am
grannyrose

sorry dearest friends. phone call from himself's bestest buddy, inviting him on a motor-cycle ride next weekend. such a giggle. i am so happy to let him go.
3:49 am
sprite

how lovely, rose. So nice for him. Can you manage with yourself and mother mac without him?
3:49 am
grannyrose

3:52 am
sprite

3:53 am
puglet

sorry guys the computer is being a brat
3:54 am
joso

3:55 am
sprite

*throws a stern look towards pug's pc*
3:56 am
puglet

well I downloaded that site you told me and it knocked me off of here and I had to restart
3:57 am
puglet

it wont let me remove it either
3:58 am
puglet

then my anti viris came up saying it wasent working
3:58 am
joso

which site is that?
3:58 am
sprite

which site is that? Flickr?
3:58 am
puglet

no the babble pro
3:59 am
joso

ah, babble expert, ok hold on
3:59 am
puglet

or what ever the link was on your profile Joso
3:59 am
puglet

yes
3:59 am
sprite

ah ok
4:00 am
puglet

I loaded it but dont know how to use it
4:00 am
joso

are you running windows pug?
4:00 am
puglet

Iam going to work on the picture thing today Sprite
4:00 am
puglet

yes Joso I got windows 98-2000 xp
4:01 am
sprite

great, pug :) Let me know if you need help.
4:01 am
puglet

my computer is old
4:01 am
puglet

okay Sprite I will--thanks
4:04 am
puglet

I was having trouble with this thing shutting down(the tower only) took it to the shop 4 times--changed all the cords and it still done it.Then a friend came and took it out and blowed it all out and it worked fine for several months and so when ever it shuts down thats what I do and it works fine for awhile
4:04 am
joso

ok, this is a bit complicated because your puter is older, thank god we don't age as fast as computers
4:04 am
sprite

that means it shuts down because it gets too hot, pug. As long as you keep all ventilators clean, it will cool the puter and all is fine.
4:06 am
puglet

I have fans blowing in here but as hot as it is I can see that. But the shop charged me everytime and did nothing
4:06 am
joso

the file you downloaded is zipped, zipped means condensed to make downloading shorter. newer windows can unzip files but older windows require a seperate zip/unzip program
4:07 am
sprite

yeah. Google for 7zip. Freeware and it unpacks everything.
4:08 am
puglet

maybe you can help me on this--I have a anti-viris that the shop put on my computer--when I went off the land line they said I have a anti viris that comes with the high speed--should I take the old one off
4:08 am
joso

at http://www.7-zip.org/ you can get a good one, the very first download is the one you want.
4:08 am
sprite

hehehe, joso and I agree on the unzip program 100%.
4:08 am
puglet

okay joso
4:09 am
sprite

not sure, pug. What are you using for antivirus?
4:10 am
joso

tell me when you have downloaded it pug
4:10 am
puglet

I have tried getting google chrome but I cant on this computer and when I go to facebook sometimes not always it comes up I have low visial memories--what is that
4:11 am
sprite

fireflies... and real life calls me to duty, alas. *hugs* to you all, my friends. Thanks for being there. Whenever I count my blessings, you are among them.
4:11 am
joso

the zip program will work, very simple and low graphics need
4:11 am
puglet

right now I got something the shop put in from windows(they had another but it shut my computer down and they had to replace it with this one)
4:12 am
puglet

I think its windows security
4:12 am
puglet

ok Joso I will--
4:12 am
joso

ah, you should get another, let me look arround brb
4:13 am
grannyrose

4:16 am
joso

sorry pug, having trouble finding an antivirus for a 98 machine
4:17 am
puglet

I guess I need to look for a newer model--dont I
4:17 am
joso

not if your machine does what you want it to do
4:18 am
puglet

these computers (like you say age fast) I dont know what to go looking for
4:18 am
puglet

this and facebook is about all I do and now and then look up imfo
4:19 am
puglet

I do know I like the xp but I read that they are going to do away with it--is this true
4:19 am
joso

the cheapest on sale computer will be much better than what you have, I'd just pay attention to screen size if i where you
4:21 am
joso

98, to xp, to vista, to windows 8, to windows 9, is where they are now pug
4:21 am
puglet

do you know how these all built in the monitors are
4:21 am
joso

sure, they are fine
4:22 am
puglet

this is the only computer Ive had and it was given to me
4:23 am
joso

4:23 am
puglet

Hi Joso and Puglet

4:25 am
puglet

4:25 am
puglet

Hi Lyn

puglet

4:27 am
lynxxx

Just ensure they have a decent warranty Puglet
4:28 am
joso

4:28 am
puglet

I know from friends that some dont have enough memories or whatever when you buy from stores like that
4:29 am
puglet

4:29 am
lynxxx

Won't be an issue with the new models Puglet
4:29 am
puglet

thanks Lyn and Joso--I will put that on my x-mas list
4:30 am
joso

depends what you want to do, are you going to run action computer games, edit movies?
4:30 am
lynxxx

Puglet - can I suggest you find a person in their 20s who is into computers and ask that they help you pick out the best one for you
4:31 am
lynxxx

That's what I did when I bought my latest laptop this year
4:32 am
puglet

Joso what action games are you replying to--you know Iam limited here
4:32 am
puglet

I will take that advice Lyn--ty
4:33 am
joso

the fast kill a bunch of zombies type of thing
4:33 am
puglet

I play some bubble games on facebook--is that action?
4:33 am
puglet

well heck no--I dont even like zoombie movies
4:33 am
joso

race car driving, combat pilot
4:33 am
lynxxx

The games my kids play! they wouldn't touch Babble
4:35 am
puglet

no-no and no Joso--word games and bubble games(some games my computer wont let me play)
4:35 am
lynxxx

my kids - and Joso apparently
4:35 am
joso

I didn't think so, I think your needs are fairly simple, so the cheapest new box you can find
4:36 am
puglet

I still have gameboy and ps1 and Iam not good on either of them-lol
4:36 am
joso

no, never got into the twitch games
4:36 am
puglet

I use to be good with pac-man on atri--I think thats out of date now a days
4:37 am
joso

though i do like a good strategy game
4:38 am
A*n*i*t*a

morning all, another sunny day :)
4:38 am
joso

twitch games, games where you need the reaction time of a coked up teen
4:38 am
puglet

I see these sims games and I would like to do them but dont know how
4:38 am
puglet

Hi anita
4:38 am
lynxxx

hi Anita
4:38 am
lynxxx

sims?
4:39 am
A*n*i*t*a

malade
4:39 am
joso

like sims, simcity, etc
4:39 am
puglet

Joso Ive been meaning to ask you what this game is as on your Icon
4:40 am
puglet

friends want me to play this farmville on facebook but I cant due to my computer
4:41 am
joso

its a computer game that would run well on your machine, nurse a civilization through the ages from basic village to world dominating power
4:41 am
puglet

is it like a building game as these sims?
4:42 am
joso

all the facebook games will run on any new box pug
4:42 am
puglet

but just mine-right?
4:42 am
lynxxx

sounds like a time sucking game
4:43 am
joso

a bit like sim city, but handling many cities
4:43 am
joso

it is a big time suck
4:44 am
puglet

my sister bought me a farm game but it drags so much I just put it away until I get a better computer
4:45 am
puglet

it says it will work in mine and it does to some degree
4:46 am
puglet

I did belong to pogo but it got so they wanted you to pay a seperate fee for the better games which I think unfair when you pay 50 a year
4:49 am
joso

computer processing power and memory get twice as fast and big for the same price every 18 months. you are running a 98 box, if you buy last years comp on sale it should have a processor 1000 times faster and 1000 times as much memory.
4:51 am
puglet

I most certainly will be shopping around for something newer
4:52 am
puglet

I do now think alot of the trouble Iam having is due to the age of this one
4:52 am
joso

if you get the stats on something that looks good I will be happy to tell you what it means
4:53 am
puglet

okay Joso and thank you
4:53 am
puglet

I only got 18 words cause Ive been talking so much-lol
4:54 am
joso

lol
4:54 am
lynxxx

You should wait for sale time too Puglet - you would probably save lots of $$s. You have Black Friday in the States don't you?
4:55 am
puglet

yes and after x-mas there are many big sales
4:55 am
puglet

thats a great Ideal Lyn--tyvm
4:56 am
rubyfoo

good morning (almot afternoon)
4:56 am
joso

crossy is also a good source, more up to date than I, but at this stage i don't think you need anything special, anything more current will do well for you
4:56 am
puglet

Hi Mrs Rubyfoo
4:56 am
lynxxx

I saved $200 on a $700 package here by doing it during the sales here. For software and laptop.

hi ruby
4:57 am
rubyfoo

hello, just looked over the chog and I used to love the first simcity but don't like the later ones, too complicated for me
4:57 am
rubyfoo

Is there any way of finding an old one?
4:58 am
puglet

oh that was a great deal of saving Lyn
4:58 am
rubyfoo

tiny grid :(
4:58 am
puglet

I would like to try one whenever I get a computer that will let me play one
4:58 am
joso

too old and it will not run on a new machine
5:02 am
puglet

I dont even buy games any more due to the fact when I do they just run so slow and choppy I dont bother
5:02 am
rubyfoo

have red boxes of doom
5:03 am
rubyfoo

aaah, gone
5:04 am
joso

anyway my carriage is threatening to become pumpkin, time for bed
5:04 am
rubyfoo

h and bye joso
5:04 am
lynxxx

5:05 am
puglet

night Joso
5:05 am
puglet

had red boxes
5:06 am
lynxxx

Isn't this just the new hiccup time?
5:06 am
puglet

I dont know I had red boxes earlier too
5:07 am
puglet

Lyn do you live near Rose
5:07 am
rubyfoo

is the game on Chicago time? so 7 hours earlier than I
5:08 am
lynxxx

Yes - probably about 20-30 miles away
5:08 am
puglet

Have you two met
5:08 am
puglet

what game Ruby
5:08 am
lynxxx

No, not yet
5:09 am
rubyfoo

oh boy, that is nice for you. Australia is so big
5:09 am
rubyfoo

simcity, the first one
5:09 am
rubyfoo

no,no, I meant is babbler on Chicago time?
5:09 am
puglet

I dont know Ruby
5:09 am
lynxxx

and I can't remember Ruby
5:10 am
puglet

I got 6:09 my time and babble has 5:09
5:10 am
rubyfoo

so that's it, pugs
5:10 am
puglet

Have you been to Australia Ruby
5:11 am
puglet

where does babble come from? do you know?
5:11 am
rubyfoo

no, and it's surely too late for me....
5:12 am
lynxxx

Babble - owned by DrGod - is American
5:13 am
puglet

at the bottom I have a list of sites are these all to do with babble
5:14 am
lynxxx

Not officially - usually just other Babble players who have written programs or something to do with Babble
5:14 am
puglet

like angelsongs babble and babble anony
5:15 am
lynxxx

Angelsong / Montreal / Lickety - are all other players.
5:15 am
rubyfoo

I've never seen montreal
5:15 am
puglet

ahh thanks Lyn
5:16 am
lynxxx

Babble Anon is another chat site where some people write things (predated Facebook as I remember)
5:16 am
puglet

are they help sites like Lickety's
5:16 am
lynxxx

Montreal is another gorgeous Canadian guy - plays every day but doesn't chat much anymore
5:16 am
rubyfoo

I just picked an enormous bouquet of goldenrod
5:17 am
rubyfoo

for the living room
5:17 am
lynxxx

Nothing is like Lickety! PS Lickety is a gorgeous Australian guy
5:17 am
puglet

do they grow wild there Ruby
5:17 am
rubyfoo

the flowers aren't impressive, but the scale of the arrangement works in the room
5:17 am
puglet

nothing like fresh flowers in the house
5:17 am
lynxxx

how lovely Ruby
5:17 am
rubyfoo

they grow in a damp, hidden corner of the bottom garden
5:18 am
rubyfoo

husband always buys roses at the market on Wednesdays, but these are nice because they're so tall
5:18 am
puglet

I love the spring when my lilacs are out-they smell so good
5:19 am
rubyfoo

I guess they're weeds, but so what
5:19 am
lynxxx

sometimes the humblest shrubs/branches and even weeds make the best arrangements
5:19 am
puglet

alot of weeds has pretty flowers Ruby
5:19 am
rubyfoo

I have one small lilac, but it has only flowered for 2 years and you can't see it from the house
5:20 am
rubyfoo

when he buys roses, I always cut branches of "whatever" to make the bouquet prettier
5:20 am
puglet

even my herbs have flowers that I plant just for that
5:20 am
rubyfoo

that's a good idea, pug
5:21 am
puglet

I got 6 lilac trees cause I love them so-lol
5:21 am
lynxxx

I quite often cut a bunch of mixed herbs for an arrangement - looks good and smells great
5:21 am
rubyfoo

wow! Are they different colors, pug?
5:22 am
puglet

five of the trees are close enough I get the odor through out the house with the right breeze
5:22 am
puglet

no all purple Ruby
5:22 am
rubyfoo

for cutting, I have hydrangeas on the sifde of the house, so for about a month I have enough hydrangeas for me and for my friends. Otherwise, I don't cut roses or peones for the house
5:23 am
rubyfoo

It must smell heavenly, pugs!
5:23 am
puglet

I even like chives as a fill in--and my bee balms has the prettiest flowers that draw hummingbirds and butterflies
5:23 am
puglet

it surely does Ruby
5:24 am
rubyfoo

I have chives on the deck and they're very pretty when they flower, like the alliums
5:25 am
puglet

I have 2 butterfly bushes that has a simular smell as the lilacs
5:26 am
rubyfoo

there was one butterfly bush here when we bought the house but my husband set it on fire (by accident, of course) and it had babnies alll over the garden
5:26 am
puglet

Ive never tried alliums Ruby--but I like onions too--they have a nice flower
5:26 am
rubyfoo

Do you get big butterflies, pug? I only get small white ones and frittilaries (sp?)
5:26 am
puglet

I bet thats pretty with them all over
5:27 am
rubyfoo

I started with 5 allium and now have about 30
5:27 am
puglet

once in a while but mostly small ones too Ruby
5:27 am
rubyfoo

and have had 2 hawk moths
5:27 am
puglet

I will have to try some
5:28 am
puglet

do you have to plant the allium every year Ruby
5:28 am
rubyfoo

They're almost as big as hummingbirds and feed in the daytime so they're easy to identify. The little ones are impossible
5:28 am
rubyfoo

no, just once, and it spread by itself if it's happy
5:28 am
puglet

do you have the ruby-throated hummingbird like me,Ruby?
5:29 am
puglet

do you buy the seeds or bulbs
5:29 am
rubyfoo

supposedly there arehummingbirds here,but I've never seen one in 15 years
5:30 am
rubyfoo

I think the allium were little bulbs like tiny onions
5:30 am
puglet

we have several here during the summer months
5:30 am
puglet

okay I will look for them

8:06 pm
Minveryork

I am well,besides the fact that I'll no longer be able to play Letterblox.It's not as bad as Babble becoming unavailable.
8:06 pm
negativeneil

Well Letterblox isn't available now... and hasn't been for oh, at least a few months anyway. Not working.
8:07 pm
negativeneil

Oh it's worse for me, because I played a lot of the games on that site.
8:07 pm
negativeneil

But I game on Steam Community and other sites too.
8:07 pm
Minveryork

Actually,Letterblox works again. I have been playing again
8:09 pm
negativeneil

Oh wow, so it does! And I was on there earlier and just assumed it wouldn't because no one's been fixing anything on that site in a long time! Thanks for telling me. :)
8:09 pm
Minveryork

I would make an attempt every single day and then VOILA! It worked one day!
8:13 pm
negativeneil

Wow. I gave up even checking it, because I'm friends with the former crew and was told Zynga didn't even know how to fix anything on that site. No idea if one of the crew actually did it or not... gotta ask now! Interesting.

hurrah for both of you!
10:05 pm
jesdraggon

I have a serious staffing problem. Who here needs a job and wants to move to the middle of nowhere?
10:08 pm
stidmama

hey jes! :-)
10:09 pm
stidmama

But for the middle of nowhere, it's a lovely place... if you like endless fields of grasses and rocks!
10:10 pm
jesdraggon

NO! we have trees and mountains and rivers and weather
10:10 pm
jesdraggon

we are not the palouse....
10:10 pm
stidmama

hold on a second...
10:11 pm
stidmama

east of Wenatchee and North of Kennewick is about as close to desert as I will EVER drive through...
10:12 pm
jesdraggon

you must keep going north until you hit trees!
10:12 pm
stidmama

but at least it's not Cheney...
10:13 pm
jesdraggon

heheh. indeed. i did my time south of here, and much prefer the trees
10:14 pm
stidmama

well, okay, you have a few shrubs (from a person who lives where the average tree is almost 200 ft tall)
10:15 pm
jesdraggon

What?! shrubs? *indignant sputter*
10:15 pm
stidmama

*wicked mama grin*
10:15 pm
stidmama

I owe you choclit chip cookies now...
10:16 pm
stidmama

AND... one of the things I lost in the fire was that lovely scarf you made. Are you still marketing those?
10:17 pm
stidmama

wow! how did that happen? past halfway and down to 38 already!
10:18 pm
jesdraggon

I will send you pictures of our trees, you doubtful thing you.
10:19 pm
jesdraggon

I haven't been doing any crocheting lately, but I could whip you up another... what colors/type of yarn/width and length do you want? fringe or no fringe?
10:19 pm
stidmama

Love pics of trees.
10:19 pm
stidmama

Also pics of flowers...
10:19 pm
stidmama

Does piggy like her new home?
10:20 pm
jesdraggon

As far as I know; I haven't actually heard back from them
10:22 pm
jesdraggon

did email work?
10:26 pm
stidmama

hold on, I will check.
10:26 pm
stidmama

YES!! I see green things! :-D
10:26 pm
jesdraggon

many trees, no wheat fields
10:27 pm
stidmama

And you really have to come visit me next summer... by then I will have some actual pretty things in my garden again. And we can take the canoe out on the water and look at the view there...
10:27 pm
stidmama

So, here's the difficulty. I can COUNT the trees in your pictures... *grin*
10:28 pm
jesdraggon

you need to send me a new doctor so I have time to travel :P
10:28 pm
stidmama

roflmao

on our side it's hopeless to tally trees
10:28 pm
stidmama

well, I wished myself a job, maybe I can wish you an employee?
10:29 pm
jesdraggon

You can only count the trees in the clearing where I was standing, brat. Look at the hill and count THOSE trees.
10:30 pm
stidmama

who are you calling a brat?


MOOOOOOOOM!!!!!
10:30 pm
stidmama

And yes, I see entire green hills. You are farther north than I realized!
10:30 pm
stidmama

It's raining here.... (again)
10:31 pm
jesdraggon

oh, c'mon, you gotta be able to handle a little 'brat' level language if you're teaching remedial reading :D
10:32 pm
stidmama

do you have lodgepole and ponderosa pine? Or are those farther to the east? I love pines, and they don't do so well over here.
10:32 pm
stidmama

I can handle a lot worse than "brat" to be honest... and when not in school dish it out, too! LOL but not in my classroom *stern teacher look* we will be polite and appropriate!
10:32 pm
stidmama

feels nice to say "my classroom" and mean it...
10:34 pm
Minveryork

I used to be able to say that, but with my new placement, I lost my classroom. Now I have to share a room with others.
10:34 pm
jesdraggon

we have both, and fir, and tamarack
10:34 pm
jesdraggon

cedar too, and sporadic deciduous stands (aspen, birch)
10:35 pm
stidmama

Tamarack won't grow here at all, too wet. Aspen are rare in the lowlands at least.
10:35 pm
stidmama

Actually, I might be sharing a room, since I am part-time.
10:35 pm
stidmama

But when I am in the room, it WILL be mine! :-D
10:36 pm
jesdraggon

well then, ms. language arts teacher, you should know that 'brat' is russian for brother. :D
10:36 pm
stidmama

really? didn't know that!
10:37 pm
stidmama

hm. I will have to try that out on my friend from Russia...
10:37 pm
jesdraggon

it's pronounced a bit different, more like bratwurst, but spelled the same
10:37 pm
stidmama

He's pretty close to "brat" status anyway. *wicked friend grin*
10:38 pm
jesdraggon

What do you teach in language arts, anyway?
10:39 pm
stidmama

English, jes -- reading, writing, communications (spoken word). Literature. Poetry.
10:40 pm
stidmama

I also fit in a little bit about visual arts as well -- anything that communicates emotion or meaning is fair game as far as I am concerned!
10:41 pm
Minveryork

Were U looking for something part-time?Or are you hoping that this turns into full-time maybe next year stidmama?
10:42 pm
stidmama

I actually wanted part-time work this year, because of the house construction and it being Grant's last year in high school. So I was not actively applying to jobs that were full-time since the end of June. I would have been content to substitute until the house was done and then seek replacement full-time status until the end of the year. NEXT year I hope to get a full-time, continuing position.
10:43 pm
stidmama

This position is only for this year, but I think if I do well I will put me where I can get a permanent full-time slot.
10:45 pm
Minveryork

Glad you got what U wanted. This is definitely a good start
10:46 pm
stidmama

I hope so, Min -- I wish things were more settled for you, though!
10:46 pm
jesdraggon

you're never gonna come be my receptionist... :D
10:47 pm
stidmama

probably not, jes... unless I don't get a position for the following year, in which case I shall muck out kennels to pay for room and board.
10:48 pm
stidmama

although, I would love to see your area of the state. Truthfully I haven't been over there in about 30 years.
10:48 pm
Minveryork

Thank you! It will definitely be an adjustment for me, but I will adjust.This is the third time where I have had to adjust to a new school, so I can do it again.
10:49 pm
jesdraggon

you're welcome to come visit any time. You can compare the foundation of our house to yours :)
10:49 pm
jesdraggon

though we got told today no construction lo4 :(
10:50 pm
stidmama

that stinks!!!! *indignant mama look*
10:51 pm
stidmama

I guess practice makes perfect, Min? At least you get to sample a lot of different schools, so you are learning how to get along with a wide variety of people and conditions.
10:52 pm
stidmama

Grant just called for a ride home from band practice. Back soon. *poof*
10:52 pm
jesdraggon

too much land, apparently. So Bruce will call planning dept tomorrow to see if we can do some paperwork magic to make the bank think we only have 20 acres instead of 30.
10:52 pm
jesdraggon

bye, stid, have fun :)
10:56 pm
Minveryork

Goodbye stidmama! I will see you tomorrow in the chat log

11:56 pm
stidmama

okay, time to go try to calm down enough to sleep. Do I wear jeans tomorrow for the training, or a skirt? All my "teaching pants" are in the storage locker -- was going to pull them out this coming weekend! LOL
11:57 pm
jesdraggon

how formal is the training?
11:57 pm
jesdraggon

and how hot is it over there? I'd go skirt here, because I don't like heat strokes
11:58 pm
jesdraggon

and shorts would probably be inappropriate even for a fairly casual training.
11:59 pm
stidmama

I don't own shorts, fortunately! I think I will wear a skirt tomorrow, and judge what the other teachers are wearing, just in case. I suspect jeans would be fine for Thursday.
11:59 pm
flosey

hi stid, you can't go wrong with a skirt - jeans might be questionable
