Morning Sprite! HUGS
1:33 am
sprite
*hugs pug* How are you today, hun, and how is your sister?
1:34 am
puglet
We are all good and you and your family
1:34 am
sprite
not too happy about my girl, the rest of us are fine
1:35 am
puglet
OH NO, not having probems there are you?
1:36 am
sprite
nothing new, she is just so very tired and a bit too stressed. She looks like a raccoon, bags under her eyes. Had to pick her up from school yesterday because she was too dizzy to ride home on her bike. But she refuses to stay home from school. sigh.
1:37 am
puglet
Is there any off days coming soon
1:38 am
flosey
good morning sprite - sorry to hear about problems with daughter, poor dear, but you really don't need this right now
1:38 am
sprite
no, just the weekends. Waiting for the Xmas holidays. The smart little lady told me I shouldn't tell her to stay home from school, because.... drumroll... she had to learn to watch her own limits and there was no way she could learn that if I stepped in and ordered her...
1:39 am
flosey
wow, how old is this little lady?
1:39 am
sprite
hi flosey *hug*
No, I don't, but we don't get to pick the timing, do we... Just worried about her.
1:39 am
sprite
she will be 16 in february.
1:39 am
puglet
TEENAGER! could the dizziness be from not eating right
1:40 am
sprite
no, she eats pretty good. I think it is a combination of stress, asthma and being overly tired.
1:41 am
puglet
maybe she can recooperate when the week end gets here
1:42 am
sprite
I hope so. We reached a compromis... told her I will give her time until the end of next week, and if she still looked this bad, I would keep her home.
1:42 am
flosey
and possibly trying to be strong herself, so you don't have to worry?
1:42 am
puglet
I dont blame you
1:43 am
sprite
yes, she has a tendency to do that, flosey.
1:44 am
puglet
does she take a daily vit. Sprite? If not that might help a bit
1:44 am
sprite
she should... but good point. Will check if she actually does that or let it slip.
1:45 am
puglet
and maybe she has picked up that cold from you last week and its just not came out fully
1:46 am
sprite
possibly. Thanks. It always helps to share our worries here, doesn't it :)
1:46 am
puglet
yes it does for sure
1:47 am
grannyrose
back briefly. hey ya sprite. and pugs, and flosey
1:47 am
puglet
dont know where our Rose is--she was here before the flip and has vanished
1:47 am
grannyrose
lololol
1:47 am
sprite
lol... speaking of timing. Hi rose *hugs*
1:48 am
grannyrose
peek-a-boo...i see you
1:48 am
puglet
wha la and there she is! lol
1:48 am
flosey
aha, welcome back rose
1:48 am
sprite
pug has the magic touch!
1:49 am
grannyrose
*giggle* still a little fragile here. but starting to think again. *sigh* head feels like it's full of pudding..
1:49 am
sprite
*hugs rose big time*
Small wonder, hun. Quite a week, you have behind you.
1:49 am
grannyrose
sprite teen girls ought to have a warning label on them...
1:50 am
puglet
what flavor? lol----hows that baby Braxton? Bet hes getting big too
1:50 am
sprite
don't they just! Smart mouthy moodswinger at full speed, approach at your own risk, handle with extreme care!
1:50 am
grannyrose
awww, sweetie, {{hugs }} to you too, *quickly adding* and {{hugs}} to pugs, and {{hugs}} to flosey
1:51 am
flosey
yes rose p BUT - the boys pay no heed to such warnings
1:51 am
grannyrose
pugs he is absolutely gorgeous. his mum and dad brought him over for a visit last night. very good antidote to the trauma of the day.
1:52 am
puglet
Sprite just try remembering when you were at that age
1:52 am
flosey
my posts aren't coming through
1:52 am
sprite
I let her 'win'... about the school thing... not because I think she is right... but because I thought if it mattered so much to her, she deserved to feel victorious over her mother for once.
1:52 am
puglet
You are going to have to put up some new pictures Rose
1:52 am
sprite
lol true, the boys only see the... let's call it highlights... of the girls.
1:53 am
sprite
when my MIL died, I was standing at the funeral with my HUGE belly full of Caya.
1:54 am
puglet
well Sprite it looks like to me shes going to have good work etics
1:55 am
sprite
she will, pug. It is crazy. We have to learn the boy how to act responsibly and the girl how to act a little less responsible.
1:55 am
puglet
what does the name caya mean
1:55 am
sprite
it is related to Gaya, Mother Earth.
1:55 am
sprite
I mean Gaia.
1:56 am
puglet
Is that a dutch name
1:57 am
sprite
no, not really. More universal.
1:57 am
grannyrose
i know, pugs. but it's been a tad difficult to motivate myself. once i'm home after surgery, will have plenty of time to do all the fiddly bits i haven 't done.
1:57 am
puglet
flosey must of lost her connection
1:58 am
puglet
I know Rose, youve been through so much here lately
1:59 am
puglet
the surgery is kind of a godsend--at least you will have to rest
1:59 am
puglet
How is MIL doing now
1:59 am
grannyrose
flosey just emailed me, she can't get any of her messages to enter the chog.
1:59 am
sprite
no pressure from us, rose. You take your time and will do it when it suits you. No problem. As long as it is before the weekend :)
2:00 am
sprite
I have seen her messages, though. Even the one where she said they weren't coming through. And the one before that about the boys.
2:00 am
grannyrose
pugs...don't start me....she has over-used a laxative, and now she is blocked high up in the bowel, with faecal fluid only getting through. grrrr
2:00 am
puglet
wonder if shes having bad weather over there?
2:01 am
sprite
omg poor woman.... and poor you as well.
2:01 am
puglet
Is she there with you
2:01 am
grannyrose
the smell is burning the hair in my nostrils....lol and don says his eyes are watering...
2:02 am
sprite
I can imagine. So awful.
2:02 am
grannyrose
pugs, she lives in our home, in her own suite of rooms. because the weather is warming up, she leaves the connecting door open....and the aroma wafts through.
2:03 am
rururocks
No shit granny?
2:04 am
grannyrose
exactly, ruru...no shit....at all....
2:04 am
puglet
I knew she lived with you but didnt know if she was there now or at the care center
2:04 am
rururocks
I am sorry I couldn't pass that entry up..
2:05 am
grannyrose
she's home until last week of january, when we will have our regular 3 week break from each other.
2:05 am
puglet
at least its not hitting the fan et
2:05 am
sprite
rose, how about when you have the surgery? You cannot take care of your MIL and yourself at the same time then. neither can Don, I think.
2:05 am
sprite
lolol pug!
2:05 am
grannyrose
oh my, pugs....roflol
2:06 am
rururocks
I can't top that one...
2:07 am
puglet
its got to come out some how---is she on something to help besides the pot
2:07 am
grannyrose
same as last year, dearest. yes i will be taking care of her, by phone or email. she and SIL are under strict instructions not to try and contact don on m onday. SIL has to make the decisions herself.
2:08 am
grannyrose
pugs, i have reviewed her use of laxatives. once she is unblocked, we have an action plan in place. just got to get her to poop first.
2:08 am
puglet
well it looks like SIL would step in to help---I know we are talking about fang--so that says alot
2:09 am
sprite
is she in pain?
2:09 am
flosey
aha, back again - that lasted all this time - chatbox was totally white - nothing coming through - or going out
2:09 am
puglet

2:09 am
sprite
hi flosey, how frustrating! Glad you are back.
2:10 am
grannyrose

2:10 am
flosey

2:10 am
puglet
Rose has that problem with MIL too-lol
2:10 am
sprite
poor, poor woman! Nasty pain.
2:11 am
rururocks
We didn't have anything to say flosey
2:12 am
sprite
you missed ruru being out-punned by puglet
2:12 am
flosey
no bad weather, just a little computer glitch I guess
2:12 am
flosey
oh dear, must read back
2:12 am
sprite
a crooked byte, flosey
2:12 am
rururocks
Hangs head in shame
2:13 am

2:16 am
sprite
I love it too, it is brilliant. Oh, glad you liked it :)
2:17 am
flosey

2:17 am
puglet
brb--refill needed
2:18 am
rururocks
They're setters flosey :D
2:18 am
sprite
you'd expect to see one or more jump around with their paws between their legs
2:19 am
flosey
that first one must be having Rose's MIL's problem
2:20 am
sprite
lol flosey
2:21 am

this is what you do rose, you get a single long rubber glove, past the elbow, vets have them if not hospitals. Then you hand it to fang, and say "you know what needs to be done"
2:27 am
sprite

2:43 am
grannyrose

2:43 am
joso
am5 makes no sense, how can you have a single plural
2:44 am
sprite
lol joso... It is french word, meaning friend.
2:44 am
sprite
thanks my friends. With your good wishes, how can it fail :)
2:45 am
grannyrose
umm, joso, am5 is the garment worn by priests
2:45 am
joso

2:45 am
sprite

2:46 am

groan....emergency root canal job for crossy this afternoon.poor left side of face is swollen twice its size
5:48 am
Lizlin
Big groan - but perhaps this will be an end to all the trouble you've had with that tooth!
5:49 am
crosshair
i hope so!was on the phone with doc yestteday and i said "i cannot go till dec 23rd this way!!"
5:50 am
Lizlin
I'm glad you did that. it was ridiculous for you to be in pain for so long, with nothing being done!
5:50 am
crosshair
my own fault of course.first order of business after this tooth is fixex and the left side is cleaned to math the right is a nice new wter pik
5:51 am
Lizlin
Sounds like a good idea - don't mess around with teeth. Toothache and earache must be amongst the worst type of pain.
5:52 am
crosshair
this hurts worse that when i got chunks cut off of me for my seminoma!
5:52 am
Lizlin
And that's saying something, I'd think!
5:53 am
crosshair
i have been run over by a car as well,and that is just a tad more painfull than this lol
5:54 am
crosshair
at least i got morphine for the car injuries:P
5:54 am
Lizlin
Well I really hope that after the root canal treatment settles down, you feel much better.
5:54 am
crosshair
ty,liz.i am sure things will be much better in a day or 3
5:55 am
crosshair
so,liz,hor are things down under? tis a balmy minus 10c here and snow squalls coming off the bay
5:55 am

I'm sure your lovely wife will spoil you til you feel better :)

Temps of about 27 C!
5:57 am

lol,nice swimming weather
5:57 am
Lizlin
Don't know how you cope with such cold temps for so much of the year.
5:57 am
Lizlin
Yes, we did go swimming this afternoon!
5:57 am
Lizlin
Water matched the air temp!
5:58 am
crosshair
it is all aclimatization,liz.i can at need, work in minus 40c all day,but get me over there with you when it is 40c and i am ready for the hospital
5:59 am
crosshair
i start falling apart at 35 c and become one big heat rash
5:59 am
Lizlin
Thankfully it never gets to 40 C here. Average about 30 in the summer. Can be humid but fans and air con deal with that. And there's always a sea breeze at the beach.
6:00 am
crosshair
i do not know how my brother endure Nevada.was 114 for an entire month for him last summer
6:00 am
Lizlin
It's funny how quickly you acclimatise. I find it cold here in temps that I'd never have thought cold in the UK. But I guess it's partly because we don't have central heating!
6:01 am
Lizlin
OMG! Just went to a site to convert 114 into C! That's 45 C! I also don't know how your brother coped with that!
6:01 am
crosshair
it is insane there in summer ,liz!! he tells me that the low humidity helps(often less than 10%)
6:03 am
Lizlin
I guess that would help. I've been on holiday to Turkey and it was a hot dry heat there - as long as we drank loads of water, the temperature was manageable!
6:04 am
crosshair
this grid looks like it is going to be evil
6:04 am

Nah .. easy grid
6:05 am

I listed earlier than I often do! I had about 80 left! Now down to 64 but I'll leave some for tomorrow!

Life n. A spiritual pickle preserving the body from decay. We live in daily apprehension of its loss; yet when lost it is not missed. The question, “Is life worth living?” has been much discussed; particularly by those who think it is not, many of whom have written at great length in support of their view and by careful observance of the laws of health enjoyed for long terms of years the honors of successful controversy. “Life’s not worth living, and that’s the truth,”
Carelessly caroled the golden youth.
In manhood still he maintained that view
And held it more strongly the older he grew.
When kicked by a jackass at eighty-three,
“Go fetch me a surgeon at once!” cried he. Han Soper

It's important to accept that we create the world we live in. When we cultivate compassion instead of turning cynical, we feel better. We feel closer to the people we care about and more fulfilled within ourselves. By being open and understanding, we relieve ourselves of our own destructive attitudes, and we draw out the best in those around us.

All the kids at school say they want to be treated like they treat others, then I show them how they are treating me as a sub. Then we talk about treating people with respect in the face of disrespect. That is the most powerful action they can take against the disrespect they will most likely get from a lot of teachers.

8:55 am
bichon
Don't sweat it Jindigo
8:55 am
Scrabbler
No, she hasn't even seen a doctor in 25 or more years, She distrusts doctor. Doesn't want a mammogram, colonscopy, meds, etc.
8:55 am
Scrabbler
I needed that, so TY, Jindigo
8:56 am

Scrabbler
And I remind my mother that I cannot be her doctor.
9:01 am
bichon
And even if you did give her medical advice, would she follow it.
9:01 am
bichon
My d.i.l. has the same problem
9:01 am
Scrabbler
She gets her medical knowledge from Reader's Digest and the newspaper.
9:02 am
hurshy
not sufficient?
9:02 am
bichon
Yes, and the "People's Pharmacy".
9:03 am
Scrabbler
She loves the People's Pharmacy and listens to their radio show. That fuels her distrust of doctors.

Mom Scrabbler is talking to me on the phone. She is talking about how her feet are growing and her winter boots feel tight.

I know. I'd love to know how much time affects the score - top letters I'm always racing against the clock and maybe I'd be better taking my time.
9:40 am

Triplet Scramble is my toughest--I just don't grasp the need for word order.
9:41 am
Haz1558
I don't always do it, I must admit and I tend to leave honeycomb alone as well.
9:41 am

HoneyComb is maddening but I give it a try everyday anyway. I don't try too hard or I go crazy.
9:42 am
Scrabbler
My favorites = Top Letters and WordBuilder
9:42 am
Haz1558
And my favourites are Speed Phrase and In and Out.
9:43 am
Scrabbler
Interesting. And I too frequently screw up QP itself and then quit it.
9:44 am
Haz1558
It's surprisingly easy to make wrong assumptions on it, isn't it? Or to hit the wrong key and oops, you get an inaccuracy hit.
9:45 am
Scrabbler
Yes, and I learned that as soon as you make a mistake your score plummets, so I see no point in continuing after making an error.\
9:45 am
Haz1558
Sometimes I just want to see what the quotation is so I persist!
9:47 am
Scrabbler
Yes, I will finish puzzles but not submit lousy scores.
9:47 am
Haz1558
Do you think all the others are busy trying out QP? They've gone awfully quiet.
9:48 am
Scrabbler
I think they are all paying to join QP. Aloy and Bichon and our other Babble Buddies will excel.
9:48 am
Haz1558
Goodness, more people to try and beat!

You can probably claim commission from the site - you were the one to mention it first.

9:53 am
Aloyisius
bye Haz, bye Scrabbler.. have to also scoot but hope to bbs..
9:53 am
Haz1558
It is fun, Aloy, but it doesn't take up a huge amount of time. Some of the games are timed so you're under pressure to finish quickly. I enjoy the site a lot.
9:54 am

Have a good day, Aloy - *gone*

2:45 pm
Soodle
Champ, he's about an hour & a half's drive away, which limits my visits to about 2 -3 a week. But enough about me....... Describe Thanksgiving Day to me.... What am I missing?

3:32 pm
phandmd
Glad the cooking made you feel good.
3:33 pm
phandmd
I made a slew of Mashed potatoes for the dinner our neighborhood provided to our local firehouse. Baked a Pumpkin pie from a fresh pumpkin and roasted the seeds. That is the extent of my cooking.
3:34 pm
72 Temple Owl
well that is a lot. i made a pe as well but put a cookie sheet under it and it refused to cook. well see in a few hours how it is.
3:34 pm
phandmd

3:35 pm
72 Temple Owl
heat from the bottom blocked
3:35 pm
phandmd
I have used a cookie sheet under my pie tins before
3:36 pm
72 Temple Owl
this was RIGHT under, racks not spaced
3:38 pm
72 Temple Owl
it was an impossible pie, to lazy to mess with anything else today.
3:38 pm
phandmd

3:38 pm
72 Temple Owl
i also make just a custard some times, i prefer that.

3:39 pm
phandmd
that does sound yummy!
3:40 pm
72 Temple Owl
it leaves out nearly all of the warm spices, more delicate.
3:40 pm
72 Temple Owl
oh crap i just remembered i did not use any vamilla inj the pie. do you add that?
3:42 pm
phandmd
no. I just use cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and nutmeg.
3:44 pm
72 Temple Owl
i made my own pumpkin pie spice with few cloves, i often use the lighter spicing of the custard in my pies. for christmas, walnut sour creram pie and chess pie!
3:44 pm
phandmd
chess pie?
3:46 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes, southern thing, i love lemon chess pie. google gayle ganfs recipe

9:20 pm

I enjoy Thanksgiving too
9:21 pm
welki
don't know how important Thanksgiving is to you, diane, but from what i've experienced up here, Thanksgiving is a much bigger deal down below
9:22 pm
welki
here, people even have their thanksgiving dinners the sunday before thanksgiving - that doesn't fly in the states (except in extreme circumstances)
9:22 pm
welki
(course, it helps that thanksgiving is always on a thursday and most people either have the friday off, or take the friday off)
9:23 pm
dianedecoder
Yes.... it seems to be. We don't have the buildup , including Black Friday, but it is important to our family. We do have our dinner usually on the Sunday, to allow the the travellers to get home on the Monday.
9:24 pm
welki
black friday means the same to me as boxing day - absolutely nothing :)
9:25 pm
penquis
means nothing to me either...just a reminder to finish up my shopping....but i avoid shopping on Black Friday....too many people...
9:26 pm
dianedecoder
same here ! I "accidentally" experienced IT the year we went to Arizona early. I just wanted a few things at Joann fabric and craft store. I could NOT believe the lineups.... we left and came back the next week !
9:27 pm
welki
pen, i avoid shopping all year
9:27 pm
phandmd
I was not planning on going shopping tomorrow, but I have unexpected guests coming on Saturday that if I shop tomorrow, I can avoid having to ship my gifts...
9:27 pm

I don't shop on boxing day either, but my girls and granddaughters love the "rush".... I just stay home and enjoy the quiet house!
9:30 pm

welki.... I loved your nurse's Christmas tree.... I copied it and sent it to my daughter :-)

replace? nothing :) I had roasted root vegies and broccoli and latkes and mashed potatos and dressing and wine.
11:27 pm
Jillyjill
sounds yummy...I only recently discovered the joys of roasting vegies....
11:28 pm
dcseain
braising and roasting really are the nicest way to cook veggies in my view.
11:29 pm
Jillyjill
So much flavor and releases all the sugars in them. Don't think I will ever boil a beet again!
11:30 pm
Jillyjill
hi harp...want any turkey...LOL!
11:30 pm
harpjane
the key to cooking beets is to cook them whole. don't cut them until they are cooked. this retains the juices
11:31 pm
dcseain
and roast beets, don't boil them.
11:31 pm
Jillyjill
Think ya gotta cut them up when roasting...
11:32 pm
Jillyjill
Even my hubby liked them roasted...
11:32 pm
dcseain
nope. Poke with a fork, wrap in foil, peel when cool enough to handle. :) Rub with oil before wrapping if you wish.
11:32 pm
Jillyjill
Good advice
