In the UK they're gritters - perhaps that's why enable doesn't recognise the word.

grannyrose

jbp. i'm doing okay, hun. have been plugging away at MIL's rooms. nearly finished her wardrobe. found a heap more of old photos.
1:08 am
jbp

1:08 am
puglet

Photos of Don as a child?
1:08 am
jbp


and hi pug. didn't see you there
1:08 am
puglet

re HI ibp
1:09 am
puglet

oops jbp
1:09 am
grannyrose

my body doing it's usual reaction to pain. appetite way down. so weight now starting to slide off. all good, of course. yes, pugs, photos of them all as babies.
1:11 am
grannyrose

i have decided what to do with my own mother's jewellery. have decided to leave it all to my niece, as the next female in line, in my will. i think it is important to keep it all together as a collection.
1:11 am
puglet

the pain isnt nice but since you are wanting to waste away then I guess the weight loss is good
1:12 am
grannyrose

lol, pugs, lots of me to waste away.
1:12 am
puglet

and will she?
1:13 am
grannyrose

i have to speak to her. she is away at present. when she comes back, will corner her..
1:13 am
Lizlin

Hope you're able to keep the weight off.
1:13 am
jbp

I hope she appreciates what a gift that is.
1:14 am
Lizlin

It's a fantastic gift.
1:14 am
grannyrose

liz, once i am active again, will be no problem.
1:15 am
Lizlin

You'll feel much happier for that.
1:16 am
grannyrose

can't wait to get into the hydro-therapy pool again...only place i can exercise without excruciating pain.
1:16 am
puglet

how soon will that be
1:17 am
Lizlin

How long should the pain last or is that like asking about the length of a piece of string?
1:18 am
grannyrose

i have to discuss with her what to do with the earrings. they are screw-ons. and i want to use them for pierced ears. so need to change settings to something more suitable.
1:18 am
puglet

did you buy you a nice polka dotted bikini to wear :)
1:18 am
jbp

I used the therapy pool after back surgery. indescribably awesome
1:18 am
Lizlin

1:23 am
grannyrose

i have to remain on basic pain meds due to arthritis and fibromyalgia. but will continue to challenge myself until i get off the oral morphine. just remember i am only just over 4 weeks post-op
1:24 am
jbp

yes, you don't want to try and stop taking the meds too early. otherwise you just end up with more pain (trust me. but i'm sure you already know that)
1:24 am
grannyrose

*giggle* make that just under 4 weeks post-op
1:24 am
Lizlin

Lol

1:40 am
grannyrose

just loaded 4 bags of shoes, underwear, dressing gowns into the ute for an op. shop bin.
1:41 am
puglet

how close are you Rose to getting that project finished
1:41 am
o-o

I get plenty of sleep .... when I am tired, I take a nap before I fall asleep
1:42 am
o-o

well? for me, well is a deep subject for a shallow mind
1:44 am
grannyrose

a few weeks, pugs. bedroom nearly finished. problem is where to store every thing until the siblings are ready to look over the 'loot' and decide what they want to keep.
1:45 am
puglet

if you drop the bucket down into the well---whats it to bring up
1:46 am
puglet

do you have rental storage near you
1:47 am
puglet

Iam sorry guys, my head is hurting so much for the minute I cant think right, right now
1:48 am
Lizlin

Rose, just answered your email :)
1:48 am
Lizlin

OK - BBL - time for a shower and to get ready for the Sabbath.
1:48 am

Hope you get some relief soon, puglet
1:48 am
puglet

bye Liz
1:49 am
puglet

I should OO, just took some meds--thanks
1:49 am
grannyrose

thanx liz
1:51 am
grannyrose

yes, pugs...but i don't think it's an option...you would be able to hear the screams from there, when the sibs find out don and i are charging them for storage..
1:52 am
puglet

how long do they expect you guys to hold the stuff? I mean you guys to move on too
1:53 am
puglet

I left need out of there--sorry
1:54 am
grannyrose

yeah, i know, pugs. don't forget we are talking about 3 very self-centred, selfish people.
1:55 am
puglet

then give them notice that after a certain date the stuff is going into storage
1:56 am
grannyrose

or we could say we are going to throw it all out...that would make them come running. *sigh* they really dont understand that don and i need to have a life, finally.
1:56 am
o-o

It is your property. When I practiced law, I advised the owners to have an auctioneer itemize and put a value on the property. Then tell the people who may have an interest that they must decide what they want, the value of which will be deducted from their share upon probate. Any stuff not chosen will be auctioned off.
1:58 am
grannyrose

hmmm, very interesting, o-o. will pass that bit of wisdom on to himself. i have to remember i am a johnny-come-lately in this family.it's like walking on egg-shells.
1:59 am
puglet

I didnt know you were a lawman OO---how awsome
2:00 am
grannyrose

one of the most complicated professions, in my opinion. veterinary science is close behind it.
2:01 am
puglet

It was my youth dream to be a vet
2:02 am
grannyrose

lol, when my middle son announced he wanted to be a vet...i said to him...choose something easier, like law. of course, i was saying that with tongue in cheek.
2:02 am
o-o

I stopped practicing many years ago. It is a cutthroat business ... very stressful
2:02 am
puglet

and what did he end up chosing
2:03 am
grannyrose

o-o, just what is your hat size? i bet it is huge...
2:03 am
puglet

I can just inmagine OO
2:03 am
grannyrose

pugs, he went into banking.
2:04 am
puglet

thats not even close to either one--lol
2:04 am
grannyrose

o-o, just what is your icon tonight? can't make head nor tail of it.
2:05 am
puglet

I think its a planet--or thats what it looks like to me
2:05 am
o-o

the remains of a life that never was.
2:06 am
grannyrose

huh??? o-o, i think the meds have befuddles my brain. could you please explain?
2:07 am
grannyrose

*befuddled*
2:07 am
puglet

death of an sperm egg?
2:07 am
o-o

It is intended to complement my profile quote
2:08 am
grannyrose

aha! now that you explain it, it makes sense.
2:10 am
puglet

Rose, how did Decon like the wheels(did I get his name right)
2:13 am
grannyrose

almost, sweetie. deacon loved his quad bike, and so did everyone else below the age of 8...lolol
2:13 am
Lizlin

You'll have a lot to live up to next Xmas!
2:14 am
puglet

lol--does this mean grandma needs to buy a few more
2:15 am
puglet

2:15 am
Lizlin

2:18 am
grannyrose

yeah, i know. am already looking for one for claudia's birthday...lol
2:19 am
Lizlin

At least there'll be no arguments then! MUM! Claudia won't give me my bike back!!!! lol
2:19 am
grannyrose

liz, when deacon started doing wheel stands on it...i swear every male in the park turned green with envy.
2:19 am
Lizlin

I'd've loved to have seen that! I can just imagine!
2:21 am
puglet

so how many do you need? LOL
2:21 am
grannyrose

it was amazing...watching this 5 year old hooning around the park..and all the male eyes were on him. you could hear all the wheels clicking and whirring.
2:21 am
Lizlin

Where's Ru? I bet he wants to know why ti 7 (comparative) isn't a word!
2:22 am
puglet

Rose and Jbp sung him to sleep :)
2:22 am
Lizlin

Can't use hoon in babble! Enable won't like it!
2:22 am
grannyrose

i think my nephew( the one in the photo of deacon ) was pretty envious too.
2:22 am
Lizlin

You should've photographed all the dropped open jaws!
2:22 am
Lizlin

It really was an awesome pressie.
2:22 am
grannyrose

stupid enable..what does it know? hoon is so too a word.
2:23 am
puglet

they have some of the coolest things to ride out on the market
2:23 am
Lizlin

I agree. It so is. I felt so Aussie the first time I entered it!
2:23 am
grannyrose

lolol, liz. good for you!
2:23 am
Lizlin

And then was rejected!!! :(
2:24 am
grannyrose

never mind, liz. i still enter it every time i see it..lol...to no avail.
2:24 am
puglet

and in one grid it even had aussie and it wouldnt take that either
2:24 am
Lizlin

believe me, there are many hoons around here - just have to see the tyre marks on the roads!
2:24 am
Lizlin

What does enable know?
2:25 am
puglet

and what is a hoon
2:25 am
grannyrose

not real life, that is obvious.
2:25 am
Lizlin

lol
2:25 am
grannyrose

oh, dear. we have to heducate pugs
2:25 am
Lizlin

Hoon is a derogatory term used in Australia and New Zealand, to refer to anyone who engages in loutish, anti-social behaviours. From wikipedia
2:26 am
Lizlin

You mean heducmecate?
2:26 am
Lizlin

hedumecate! Sorry can't spell!
2:26 am
puglet

Liz, did you see the puzzle Crossy put on yesterday
2:27 am
grannyrose

*giggle*...your spelling is atrocious. fancy!! can't spell hedumacate!!
2:27 am
Lizlin

Yes, pugs - I've done the babble one - loved it but was glad I wasn't on babble then and I've started the river mountain one! Crossy's evil!!!!
2:27 am
Lizlin

True Rose!
2:27 am
grannyrose

but, then, neither can i. lolol
2:28 am
Lizlin

Or ture roes
2:28 am
Lizlin

A bit like a young man that Ru and I and some others think tries too hard to misspell words!
2:29 am
puglet

Hes not on much anymore
2:29 am
grannyrose

aagghh, don't go there, hun. from your lips to God's ear...
2:30 am
grannyrose

is it close to school holidays over there, pugs?
2:31 am
puglet

they started friday(before xmas) and they return the monday after NY
2:31 am
grannyrose

we are thinking of hanging onto mother mac's electric bed...if her usual respite centre doesn't want it, that is.
2:32 am
puglet

like a hospital bed?
2:32 am
grannyrose

oh, such a short break. over here they don't return until the end of january/early february.
2:33 am
Lizlin

You mean a bed that you can raise the head?
2:33 am
grannyrose

yes, pugs. almost. it allows you to raise the head or feet.
2:33 am
Lizlin

Don't forget it's winter " oop north" the long break is in July August, the summer.
2:33 am
puglet

I bet its one of those vibrating beds :)
2:34 am
grannyrose

what we were thinking was to be our bedroom, we are going to turn into a bedroom/playroom ar4.
2:34 am
Lizlin

Shades of grey! Lol
2:35 am
grannyrose

naughty liz!!!
2:35 am
puglet

can you and don fit into the bed together
2:35 am
Lizlin

Of course, rose
2:35 am
grannyrose

i wish, pugs..but it is only a single...then again we could fit...hmmm.
2:35 am
Lizlin

Life would be too boring otherwise!
2:36 am
puglet

all kinds of positions with a bed like that
2:36 am
Lizlin

Lol pugs
2:36 am
grannyrose

and all supported...lolol
2:38 am
puglet

2:42 am
grannyrose

2:43 am
grannyrose

hey, anyone hear from the joso lately?
2:43 am
puglet

2:43 am
grannyrose

2:46 am
Lizlin

2:47 am
puglet

2:48 am
Lizlin

2:48 am
puglet

2:49 am
Lizlin

Wash? What!
2:49 am
Lizlin

Do you sleep during the day pugs?
2:49 am
puglet

I got it
2:50 am
puglet

sometimes---cat naps---if I sleep more then a couple of hours I get terrible headaches
2:51 am
Lizlin

That's tough for you. I couldn't function on so little sleep!
2:51 am
puglet

I bet living where you do is very relaxing
2:52 am
Lizlin

It is! I'm very lucky. It's such a contrast after living in London all my life! I love it!
2:53 am
puglet

How did you end up moving there--if you dont mind me asking
2:54 am
Lizlin

Because my hubby's an Aussie and he was homesick. I fell in love with this ar 4 when we came on holiday here in 2004.
2:54 am
puglet

it must of been a bit scarey to move to a new country and new culture
2:55 am
Lizlin

Actually not too hard. I miss my family and friends though. I know some people here and then I've got rolins family, who've adopted me!
2:56 am
puglet

that was nice of you to go with him to return home
2:56 am
Lizlin

The good stuff makes up for the rest.
2:57 am
puglet

do you stay in contact with friends from your homeland
2:57 am
Lizlin

I was ready to give up teaching and make a change in my life. It all happened at the right time.
2:57 am
puglet

do you not work now
2:57 am
Lizlin

Yes and some have been to visit. We've also been back and will go back next year.
2:57 am
puglet

what did you teach
2:57 am
Lizlin

No. Took early retirement.
2:58 am
Lizlin

Primary but specialised in English.
2:58 am
puglet

thats nice. So many times you lose friends when there are great distance
2:58 am
Lizlin

Skype also helps.
2:59 am
puglet

I dont know what that is--sorry
2:59 am
Lizlin

Speaking on the computer, like a phone but it's live and you can see each other.
3:00 am
puglet

was your hubby a teacher as well
3:00 am
puglet

ahh okay
3:00 am
Lizlin

Yes. We met at the school where we both taught.
3:01 am
puglet

so you became the teacher's pet then--lol
3:01 am
Lizlin

Lol
3:01 am
Lizlin

Or he did!
3:02 am
puglet

I bet you got the biggest reddest apples--lol
3:02 am
Lizlin

Got to go now, pugs. iPad battery is getting low. I'll be back in a few hours. Hugs.
3:02 am
Lizlin

Lol
3:02 am
puglet

did he also teach english
3:03 am
puglet

hugs and bye Liz
3:03 am
Lizlin

No. Or yes. We both taught all primary subjects but I moved school and that's when I specialised.
3:03 am
Lizlin

Bye now :)

good morning, anyone/everyone. Yesterday's grid was delicious, but it was a particularly busy day andI could only do a little more than half before my "playtime" ran out.
3:53 am

Morning ruby. Hope you've had a lovely Christmas :)
3:53 am

Morning Ruby

3:54 am

it was quiet and white, both good things, but yesterday was crazy
3:55 am
ChrissieDee

Oh, why was that?
3:55 am
rubyfoo

the snowbirds are back, so, on top of outside appointments, we had "drop-in" company
3:56 am
puglet

are the snowbirds white Ruby--------and hi Chrissie
3:57 am
rubyfoo

my housekeeper went to Turkey on holiday, so her sister is helping out, but it's not the same
3:57 am
ChrissieDee

Morning pugs :)
3:58 am
ChrissieDee

Googled snowbirds - are they people ruby?
3:59 am
rubyfoo

they are friends from Sweden and from Ireland who have houses I our village for winter sports. So far, the weather hasn't cooperated for them. Too bad LOL
4:00 am
rubyfoo

they are all skiiers and there are several ski areas about 1/2 hr from here
4:01 am
puglet

that gives you some company then for a while
4:01 am
ChrissieDee

Are you supposed to entertain them when they can't ski, or was it a welcome visit
4:02 am
rubyfoo

yes I had a lovely visit yesterday with my Irish friends. They have 2 daughters whom I have known for about 12 or 13 years. They are lovely young women now, and great appreciaters of my pups
4:04 am
puglet

thats really nice for you Ruby--kind of someone to take your mind off of things for just a bit
4:05 am
puglet

and I be t the pups enjoy the extra pets too
4:05 am
rubyfoo

exactly! Unfortunately, because of the protracted rain and accompanying mud,the dogs looked pretty scruffy, especially that baby
4:05 am
rubyfoo

she looks like an orphan
4:07 am
puglet

does your chows like the rain Ruby
4:09 am
rubyfoo

Rufie stays surprisingly dry, but Raffie doesn't seem to care and gets soaked and uddy. Her fur is so dense that it's impossible to dry her and she looks awful
4:09 am
rubyfoo

My old boy, Rufus, would not go out in the rain and once went 26 hours without peeing!
4:10 am
rubyfoo

I can't imagine life without dogs!
4:10 am
puglet

Oh me either Ruby
4:11 am
rubyfoo

boor
4:11 am
rubyfoo

sorry. Is there any Christmas pudding in the PB?
4:12 am
puglet

Elsie is the only one that dont mind getting wet or muggy--but being a boxer shes not too hard to dry and clean
4:12 am
puglet

I dont know Ruby
4:13 am
rubyfoo

that's the problem, of course, with long =haired dogs. Rufie is a "rough chow", so his fur is crisper and straighter and he doesn't have the dense undercoat. He's also smart enough, not to roll around in the mud
4:16 am
puglet

I have times when Beulah has rolled Elsie in the mud and man then I have a mess--lol
4:17 am
rubyfoo

andmuddy footprints in the house? Happily, they don't ever get on the furniture
4:17 am
puglet

will she let you use a blow dryer on her Ruby

4:32 am

4:34 am

4:35 am

4:37 am
puglet

4:38 am
sprite

4:39 am
puglet

I started taking a low dosage asprin the first of the month and I thought that that was helping until this morning
4:40 am

I figured out how it works. But don't understand clues like ai6 etc.
8:17 am

That means: The word starts with "ai" and has six letters.
8:18 am
zophas

Ok thanks.
8:20 am
zophas

And what about something like gr5/20?
8:20 am

The 20 is how many points are in the word.
8:20 am

That means a fie letter word starting with gr worth 20 points.

A Brown Betty is a traditional American dessert made from fruit (usually apple, but also berries or pears) and sweetened crumbs. Similar to a Cobbler or Apple Crisp, the fruit is baked and in this case the sweetened crumbs are in layers between the fruit. It is usually served with lemon sauce or whipped cream.

Frank Crowninshield or Alec Woollcott or somebody told everyone how good the Brown Betty was, and had such a craving for it, but when it came time to order it, the waiter said, I'm sorry sir, we're all out, it was unusually popular tonight. So he never got the Brown betty.

tyvm,liz.every single photo was taken with a old i-phone 4s
6:38 pm
Lizlin

I went into a camera shop when I was in Jasper this summer because my point and shoot wasn't coping too well with the snow and skies and they told me that my iPhone would probably take better shots!
6:39 pm
crosshair

it is not so much the camera as the light and positioning and she was right.untill you get up over 1000 dollars in a digital camera, you are just as good to stay with your i-phone
6:40 pm
Lizlin

For my birthday I got a canon power shot - still point and shoot but much more adaptable and programmable! I'm getting used to it but I love it.
6:41 pm

correct light is everything. now i know why the pros will sit for hours for that perfect light situation

10:19 pm
jesdraggon

She got really pissed when I finally said you know, you're right, we're in a small town. And because we're in a small town, I've heard from several other people how unreasonable your husband is and how he treats people like this all the time, and I think ou need to keep in mind that the "communication problems" you have at future clinics may not be entirely the fault of the staffs there.

What is troublesome is how teachers and students have do fundraisers to supplement appropriations
10:29 pm
featherbee

I know. I think back to when I first started teaching, and could order things like this with my yearly budget. Now I have to decide if I really need as much finger paint as I ordered, or am I over-ordering.
10:30 pm
featherbee

Even 2 years ago, I still could order one "luxury" item on my list of necessities. Now we're on an "as needed" budget. Meaning we're not told a certain amount we can each use, we only order the basics of what we need.
10:32 pm
featherbee

For example, three years ago my budget was $360ish, and I could order anything from the supply catalog I felt I needed. Now we order as a grade level only those things we absolutely need, and the order must be approved.
