2:43 am
sprite

2:49 am
puglet

2:51 am
joso

japanese, are you an anime fan sprite
2:51 am

no, words can consist of several characters as well. Compound words. And maybe they are cryptograms and every puzzle post is a sentence :)

HEY, SLEEPY!!! get over here, i need to get you...
3:06 am

3:06 am
puglet

I always wanted to see Ireland
3:07 am

I want to go to 17'th century feudal japan, I don't suppose that will happen
3:07 am

oh yes, me too. Ireland and Scotland.
3:07 am
puglet

hold on Iam coming right over
3:07 am

btw, don is becoming very insistent. once probate has been given for my mother's will, he wants me to retire...
3:07 am
sprite

you need to hitch a ride on the tardis then, joso
3:07 am
joso

I've seen it, it's green
3:08 am
sprite

rose, he is perfectly right. You should. If you get bored, there is always work for a volunteer somewhere. But you need to think of yourself now.
3:08 am
joso

a very nice shade of green
3:08 am
puglet

Well why not Rose? Enjoy time with Don, traviling or whatever else
3:08 am
sprite

I like green
3:09 am
puglet

My favorite color too
3:09 am
joso

I do to, Yugoslavia was grey, but it's gone now
3:09 am
puglet

actually I like bright colors
3:10 am
grannyrose

i know sprite...and if it turns out that this prothesis has to be replaced, i will be suing the company. you are only allowed 2 joint replacements per joint. ( it's to do with the amount of bone left). and replacements last about 15 years, if you're lucky.
3:10 am
grannyrose

that means in 15 years i will be unable to walk, without pain.
3:10 am
joso

oy, let's not have that happen
3:11 am
sprite

yes, I know, rose. A friend of mine had to have knee protheses as well and at too young an age. They told her she will be in a wheelchair later on because they cannot keep on replacing them.
3:11 am
puglet

brb
3:12 am
sprite

yes, do sue them. It is only fair. Money won't make up for the pain and suffering, but it is justice at least.
3:13 am
grannyrose

sprite, the money would be invested, so that in the future i will be able to buy services/appliances i need to help me through everyday life.
3:13 am
sprite

sounds like a good plan, rose. Very wise.
3:15 am
joso

got to go folks, need rest, you all keep yourselves well

in the netherlands that isn't much of a problem, pug. But where you live... I can imagine that takes a lot of precautions to not get sunburned.
3:27 am
puglet

it does in the summer but I also am easy to get wind burnt too
3:28 am
puglet

Is the n-lands a cool climate
3:30 am
sprite

wind burns, yes those too. The netherlands has a mixed climate. We are cold in summer, warm in summer. We go from around -10 Celcius till +40 Celcius, max.
3:30 am
sprite

cold in WINTER of course. tsk.
3:31 am
puglet

do you get deep snows there too
3:32 am
sprite

rarely, but they do occur.
3:33 am
puglet

do you go out to build a snowman when you do get snow?
3:34 am
sprite

yes, most years we do. The funny thing is, when it starts to thaw, the snowmen keep standing for much longer than the normal snow.
3:35 am
puglet

thats because its packed and thick probaly
3:36 am
sprite

yes. Always such a funny sight.
3:36 am
puglet

wonder if Rose has ever built one there?
3:37 am
puglet

My mom use to make snow icecream and that was sooo good
3:37 am
sprite

doubt it, lol. Too hot for snow? I think?
3:38 am
puglet

too bad we cant send her one of ours-lol
3:38 am
sprite

oh wow! Never heard of snow icecream, must try this when it shows again this year.
3:39 am
grannyrose

pugs, yes i have. it snowed years ago in the mountain ranges on the outskirts of melbourne. i drove around with a miniature snowman on my bonnet.
3:39 am

3:40 am
sprite

awwww that is so sweet!
3:40 am
grannyrose

3:40 am

3:40 am

3:40 am

3:41 am

Between 1973 and 2008, 129 inmates on death row have been exonerated and freed. The most common reasons for wrongful convictions are mistaken eyewitness testimony, the false testimony of informants and “incentivized witnesses,” incompetent lawyers, defective or fraudulent scientific evidence, prosecutorial and police misconduct, and false confessions. In recent years, DNA played a role in overturning 12 of these wrongful death row convictions.
4:01 am
grannyrose

well, g'day o-o.

Hi pink
6:14 am

they cut open the gum on that side liz,drained a crap load of infection out, were able to examine the tooth in question better and it seems the tooth is actually sound.so they have me on these super-duper antibiotics and once the infection is gone they can see if it attacked the tooth from underneath.
6:14 am
crosshair

these antibiotics are so strong,i must take two pro-biotics a day and 250ml of yogurt
6:14 am

I can understand it when the southern states get snow why people drive crazy. But when you live in the north it hasn't been that long since we've had snow. And yet they seem to forget how to drive in it.

well.i hope the insurance company is quick and helps things get repaired fast
12:22 pm

good,good.this is why you pay them the big premiums.to step in at times like this and make it all better
12:24 pm

it can always be worse, sounds bad enough as it is, sorry for your troubles mael
12:24 pm
mael

thanks all, I'm stuck in a clean room with the cat at the moment, and I'm very thankful our house didn't burn down to the ground and nobody got hurt
12:25 pm
crosshair

so,the room with the fireplace is entirely cordoned off now?
12:25 pm
joso

chimney is the last place you expect fire troubles
12:25 pm
mael

yeah, and the one adjacent to it that also had wall damage. Unfortunately that was our library so we lost a lost of books to the fire/fire extinguisher/water
12:26 pm
stidmama

(((((((mael))))))) take photos of everything that is left... we did and it has meant that even though the people the insurance company hired to list what was lost didn't do a good job we have proof for some of the things that we lost.
12:26 pm
crosshair

yes,get the camera phone going
12:27 pm
mael

thanks for the advice, stidmama! My husband took a ton of pictures but I'll take more, I'll try to get as many of the books photographed as possible
12:27 pm
crosshair

yes,doccument more than you think you need to,cause they will be going over it all with a microscope
12:28 pm
joso

absolutely, and be wary of the insurance companie's first offer, or anything they want you to sign, if you have a broker call him
12:28 pm
stidmama

I am so glad that nobody was hurt. I actually ripped title pages (the one with copyright info) out of books I wanted to replace. I had catalogued a lot of my library, but many that were in the worst-affected room hadn't been. So... the title pages provided proof I had owned the book as well as gave me the specific edition info for replacements.
12:28 pm
crosshair

good idea stidmama
12:28 pm
mael

that's a fantastic idea!
12:29 pm
mael

I've been freaking out about the books, now that the worst of the freakout over people/house/cat/baby is over
12:29 pm
stidmama

Now I am going to the house to paint sample boards for exterior colors... and what joso said, about don't sign things unless you are satisfied. We lost so much more than we were insured for, but we are getting enough to cover the basics and will just rebuild as we have money.
12:30 pm
stidmama

I will keep you in my heart, mael, and if you want to commiserate, my email is my screen name at gmail.com. Be well, friend. *poof*
12:30 pm
mael

thank you, it means a lot! :)
12:31 pm

yes,never let them pressure you into signing anything until you are satisfied
12:32 pm

I won't, thanks a lot for all the advice! It means a lot!

is this you or a dress like the one you had
1:15 pm
jmcnrick

and $20 for my homemade head band. . . too bad you can't see the long ribbons in the back. . .
1:15 pm

it is me about 30 years ago. . .
1:15 pm

wow.. looks like a hippy wedding :D

what do the quakers do differently in the weddings?
1:17 pm

I really don't know much about the quaker religion actually
1:17 pm

It's lovely, jm .... my dress, 53 years ago, cost me $14 for the fabric and a friend made it for me as a gift !
1:17 pm

well we don't have a minister so we marry ourselves. . .
1:17 pm
jmcnrick

my friend made my carrot cake wedding cake. . .
1:18 pm
rururocks

that's different..is it considered legal without a minister?
1:19 pm
jmcnrick

the couple walk into the meeting together as equals (the woman is not chattel given away by her father to the keeping of the husband) and we exchange equal vows "before god and these our friends" and then everyone signs the certificate as a witness
1:19 pm
jmcnrick

wv was the last state to recognize it. . . .
1:19 pm
jmcnrick

we do have people who sign the license though. . .
1:20 pm
dianedecoder

sounds good to me
1:20 pm
jmcnrick

if you ever come to DC you can see my wedding certificate. . .quakers tend to frame them and hang them on the wall of their houses. . .
1:21 pm
jmcnrick

we have been doing it this way for 350 years. . .
1:21 pm
rururocks

hmm.. very interesting
1:21 pm
jmcnrick

as for the general religion it is that each person has that of god in them. . . everything flows from that. . .
1:22 pm
rururocks

we had a minister (non denominational) and didn't mention god in our ceremony.. much to the dismay of several of my aunts who have still never forgiven me
1:22 pm
jmcnrick

so if each person has that of god in them the relationship with god doesn't ne** to be filtered or transmitted through someone else. . .and everyone. . .even women and indians and african americans are equal. . .
1:22 pm
rururocks

we had all the other love and cherish stuff though
1:24 pm
rururocks

I figure that God was too busy to be involved in my wedding .. he had bigger fish to fry
1:25 pm

we promised that with divine assistance to love, care and support each other as long as we both should live. . .

The Soodle kitchen was revamped over the Summer. Bright sunshine yellow on the walls & a Mediterranean (sp?) blue on the ceiling. Unbelievably.... It worked. Sitting in said kitchen now, in harmony with my surroundings. Or maybe its the wine.........

It seems here unless something is prebuilt (kit or precast concrete etc) that it takes around a year for a home to be built from scratch

6:23 pm
rururocks

as much as I'd hate to admit it.. I do like a lot of Michael Jackson's stuff.. he was an amazing talent.. just screwed up
6:24 pm
Lizlin

I liked some but not much of his stuff. I agree. An amazing talent but incredibly screwed up from a very early age.
6:24 pm
rururocks

tortured person.. really ill
6:24 pm
Lizlin

But the Osmonds - way too sweet for me!
6:25 pm
rururocks

too goopy.. I agree
6:25 pm
Lizlin

Absolutely - and if the press is to be believed (joke) his father had a lot to do with it.
6:25 pm
rururocks

I believe a lot of it.. but the whole family including the mom is nuts
6:26 pm
rururocks

very tragic story
6:26 pm
Lizlin

That's true. Showbiz is the name of the game - at any price!
6:26 pm
Lizlin

Agree.
6:26 pm
Lizlin

Sadly that's also true of many people in showbiz - all areas. Just don't seem to have very happy lives. I'd rather live in my world!
6:27 pm
rururocks

I would never want to be famous.. I think it would be awful
6:28 pm

People are also out to get you. Weird story here about Justin Bieber!

6:28 pm
Lizlin

Our mayor is out to get him for graffiti at the hotel, where he stayed. Other side of the story is that the hotel asked him to tag or graffiti an area - publicity for them!

7:05 pm

not the rural area but the me5
7:06 pm

Buttonman: First part no means no in French, then the subway is called the short word meaning citified.
7:17 pm
Buttonman

Mab & Stid, finally got it...thanks so much
7:18 pm
stidgmere

I found that word a strange one, Buttonman. I've been on that means of transportation and felt like agenius everytime I arrived at the correct destination. (If you don't get to the right place, you just find the correct platform and get back on the merry-go-round.)

nothing happened this week, mcurl -- I did paint a couple large samples for the outside, three blues, a golden brown and a trim color "dover white" ... not sure which will look best. If we hate them all I can try again tomorrow with other colors.
8:36 pm

I didn't get it yet liz... *sigh* I think I need a clu4dumz

those decisions are always hard. You'll find the right one! How's school been?

I love teaching, mcurl. There are parts here and there (supervising "spirit" activities for example) that I am not fond of. LOL but in general I am loving this.
8:38 pm

House progress sounding good. Choosing colours always fun but hard. Small patches then trying to imagine the large space.
8:39 pm
Lizlin

Have a good evening both of you :)
8:39 pm
mcurlschool

well, we're one quarter through and in just a couple weeks we'll be off for winter break which by that time will most likely be most welcome!
8:40 pm
stidmama

I am not enjoying choosing the colors. I LOVE color, but the neighbors are pretty color-averse. Their houses tend to be brown or muted greens...
8:40 pm
stidmama

three weeks, and then two weeks off. I will likely be spending my two weeks tiling the bathroom because I don't think I can afford to hire a professional.
8:40 pm

thanks lizlin. :-)

In that case, I would choose something totally not what the neighbors would; just to be different but then again I'm a little defiant ;-)
8:43 pm
stidmama

well, Tom really likes the idea of a blue house -- I had thought it would be green, but he likes blue (I do too, and I think in ten years a lot of people will be painting their homes blue), and we have several nice ones. But I need to see the big patches to be sure. We can always revert to something very plain if he thinks the blue is too bright.

8:51 pm

8:52 pm
stidmama

thanks LBD -- we did, and that is why we decided to try blue... but I want to see what the colors we like look like in our light and in the setting next to the other houses. Tomorrow I will have Tom and Grant carry my sample board outside so I can take a look. :-)
8:54 pm
lbdawger

Meant stiddy not stuffy. Lol
8:54 pm
stidmama

my last house was a light color, that looked similar to the color of aged stucco, with a deep deep red (almost brown) trim. I loved it, but that was too bright for one neighbor (although I think it wasn't so bad, nothing was going to look right after decades of living next to a stand of third-growth.
8:54 pm
stidmama

rofl, I figured!
8:55 pm
lbdawger

Whoo hoo, stiddy!
8:57 pm
lbdawger

This house was blue. It's now beige with forest green trim
9:00 pm
stidmama

I am half tempted to go with beige (the contract we signed is for a single paint color and single trim color) and then paint accents in the blue we like best, which would go easily over beige...
9:02 pm
stidmama

Tom needs to "send" me the pics he has taken of the house with the roof on... I took a few, but he has the better camera. We chose "Pabco" roofing shingles in the Prairie Wood color. A warm, but lighter color brown that will help ground the home visually.
9:17 pm
stidmama

okay, two pics up. I will take a couple tomorrow that show how pretty the gables look now that the roof is on.
