hey liz, can i please have a few degrees of your temperatures. it's freezing down here. :-(
1:02 am
Lizlin

You're welcome to some degrees Rose - but I think you'd prefer us to keep the thunderstorm that we've got right now.
1:02 am
grannyrose

ewww, nah you can keep it there, lol
1:02 am
Lizlin

Read on the news about the huge temp drop in Melbourne.
1:02 am
Lizlin

Something like 15 degrees in 10 minutes!
1:03 am
grannyrose

1:04 am
Lizlin

OMG! Yes it is hot!!!!
1:04 am
Lizlin

Poor you :(
1:04 am
grannyrose

i so want to get out into the garden...roses are desperate for their summer pruning.
1:04 am
Lizlin

At least you have roses down there!
1:05 am
grannyrose

yeah, true.
1:05 am
Lizlin

I love flowers (though they don't love me too much) and we don't have many up here. Tree blossom is beautiful in spring though.
1:06 am
Lizlin

Please note, not asking the obvious question - will wait until you're ready to say that you're feeling wonderful ;)
1:07 am
Lizlin

And that wasn't a covert question!!!
1:08 am
Lizlin

Is the q used other than for the 2 words that start with q?
1:09 am
grannyrose

liz, suffice to say, don't hold your breath, dear. still tearing up at the slightest provocation. knee not too bad, will be an interesting appointment next week with surgeon. pain under control, but that is with the use of oxycodone. and i cannot work under the 'influence' of narcotics.
1:09 am
puglet

Hello Liz and Rose and everyone else
1:09 am
Lizlin

Hi Pugs :)
1:09 am
grannyrose

{{hugs}} miz pugs. so glad to see you, dear. are you safe? are you okay?
1:09 am
Lizlin

Rose, I realise and understand how p****d off you must feel, so really, unless you want to talk about it, I won't ask.
1:09 am
Lizlin

Except perhaps after you've seen the surgeon.
1:10 am
Lizlin

Pugs - as Rose said!
1:10 am
grannyrose

thanx liz. and the q is only used for those 2 words
1:11 am

Lizlin

BBS - have just photographed the latest bear in our collection. She (named Winnie after the people who gave her to us) makes me think of you Rose, so I'll send it to you soon.
1:13 am
Lizlin

Hi jbp and Pugs - glad you'll have some peace for a while.
1:13 am
grannyrose

oh, goodie...on both counts. so apart from the storm, you're doing okay. and that is not to belittle what you have to contend with re the storm.
1:13 am
puglet

1:14 am
puglet

1:14 am
jbp

1:14 am
grannyrose

1:15 am
puglet

How is everyone else today or evening
1:15 am

cosdem

I forgot how.
1:16 am
grannyrose

oh, jbp, thanx hun. all hugs gratefully accepted. and you dear? how are you doing?
1:17 am
jbp

i'm ok. still stressed about not having a job etc.
1:17 am
jbp

but i'm working on it
1:18 am
jbp

in the larger scheme of things, it's not really a big deal
1:19 am
grannyrose

jbp, tobe unemployed when one needs to be employed is a major thing. you must be going through so much stress, hun.
1:21 am
jbp

yeah. there's just so much else going on. it's just, I've been laid off (I'm sorry, part of a 'workforce reduction' as they are calling it) since beginning of October. Have had several interviews, but because of the holidays no one could decide anything until no one was on vacation. So this week will either bring good news, or.,. not so much.
1:21 am
jbp

the not knowing makes me nuts (-er)
1:22 am
grannyrose

my inheritance should come through sometime this month. i will be looking at if/when i can retire. this body of mine is worn out.the tendons are all like cheap elastic, just waiting to go 'ping'.
1:22 am
jbp

well, don't go 'ping' just yet, please
1:23 am
grannyrose

absolutely, jbp. it is the not knowing...and wondering if at the end of the wait, is there a place for you?
1:23 am
jbp

yep, you hit the nail on the head
1:24 am
grannyrose

{{hugs}} just for you, jbp. and prayers for your emotional and physical health to endure.
1:24 am
jbp

but hey, i just found the ut 7/36, so it's all good

jbp

i think this may be one of those grids that kicks my butt before I reach halfway...
1:31 am
grannyrose

nah, jbp. it's not too bad. are you stuck, dear? can i help you over the hump?
1:32 am
jbp

yeah, there are multiple humps. don't feel bad./ i'm happy if I get either half way or to nbt... and I'm close on both.
1:32 am
grannyrose

yay, jbp. well done.
1:33 am
jbp

how about the lower right i?
1:34 am
grannyrose

i don't believe how well you all do when you're body is screaming for sleep.
1:34 am
grannyrose

jbp, a little bit and it's plural, io4/4, 5/10
1:34 am
jbp

well, there is that. the most stressful thing for me is to try and go to bed, and then not fall asleep
1:34 am
jbp

ugh.
1:35 am
grannyrose

yeah...i go to bed, sleep a few hours, then toss and turn until it is time for my next lot of pain-killers. i try not to turn my lamp on.
1:36 am
jbp

yeah, I get that
1:38 am
jbp

got the i... it was such a little thing
1:38 am
grannyrose

i also 'burn'. my fibromyalgia effects my body-temperature control. and my skin burns, so off go the sheet and blankets, off goes the pajama top, and i lie there waiting for everything to cool down enough for me to sleep.
1:39 am
grannyrose

yay, jbp...next???
1:39 am
rururocks

I can never get over the hump.
1:39 am
jbp

well, i haven't been diagnosed with fm, but i do have chronic pain and numbness and whenever I roll over, that wakes me up
1:39 am
jbp

I thought as much ruru
1:39 am

1:41 am
grannyrose

1:41 am
jbp

oh, wait, I need the top middle i still (dang! thought I was nbt)
1:42 am

1:45 am
grannyrose

did you not, ruru?
1:46 am
rururocks

Nope
1:47 am
rururocks

Not really my scene in high school
1:47 am
grannyrose

no i am not going to write what i originally wanted to write. rur, was there any reason why you didn't have a prom?
1:47 am
grannyrose

ah, you answered me
1:48 am
grannyrose

proms have only come into being over the last decade here, and the same for debuts.
1:48 am
rururocks

I was too busy doing other things...
1:49 am
grannyrose

same here. i was totally involved with ballet and music.
1:50 am
grannyrose

oh and tennis. was playing competition tennis also at that time of my life.
1:50 am
rururocks

Wow. I wish I played tennis earlier in my life
1:51 am
rururocks

I started at 40.
1:51 am
grannyrose

did you play any sort of sport, ruru?
1:51 am
rururocks

No I was a hippy and a slacker.
1:52 am
grannyrose

good for you, ruru. it is hard to pick up a new sport when you are older. people look at you and expect you to be able to play .
1:53 am
rururocks

I got pretty good in tennis till I did my knees in.
1:54 am
grannyrose

hey, nothing wrong with being a hippy...to my memory, it took a lot to do the hippy scene properly.
1:56 am
rururocks

I got good grades in school but didn't have to work hard at it.
1:59 am
grannyrose

and after school, what then?
1:59 am
rururocks

I fumbled around a long time in college
2:00 am
grannyrose

did you have any idea where you wanted to go then?
2:00 am
rururocks

Yes..I really wanted to be a teacher
2:01 am
grannyrose

so what happened?
2:01 am
rururocks

Wasn't in the cards...for me..I got diverted into the wine biz...
2:03 am
grannyrose

and so what is stopping you from being a teacher now? in the wine culture? you know lots, and people will pay lots to learn how to know a good wine.
2:04 am
rururocks

I did get to teach wine courses for 11 years. I loved it.
2:06 am
rururocks

Work is now in the way. ..maybe later in life.
2:06 am
grannyrose

and now? why not now?
2:06 am
grannyrose

yeah, i get you, mate. life sometimes sucks.
2:07 am
rururocks

I don't have the freedoms I used to have
2:10 am
grannyrose

yup, i know, mate. maybe later??
2:10 am
rururocks

I hope so.
2:11 am
rururocks

After travel.
2:11 am
grannyrose

me too, for your sake...absolutely...you have to come and visit don and i
2:13 am
rururocks

I will have to how my life goes in the next few years
2:16 am
rururocks

4:42 am

I cannot wait until spring but we have Jan. Feb and March to contend with. I feel for the folks in the Midwest, their temps are below zero. Poor o-o, he probably gave up lounging in his hammock
4:44 am
zoozzoom

Yes not nice way up north i am sure..i do not know how people can live in such cold conditions...I suppose you get used to it...but when you do not expect such harsh conditions i think it is even tougher...as you are not that prepared for it...body wise.
4:46 am
Anniebrook

this is has been an especially brutal winter so far. People manage. I heard on the TV that police and agencies are looking for homeless people and bringing them into shelterss for food and warmth.
4:49 am
zoozzoom

Yes i saw that too...then they showed you some people sitting on these big wire meshes with lots of steam coming up from the ground.
4:50 am
Anniebrook

I am very grateful for my home, food in the fridge. I am going out later.. The only thing that bothers me is ice on the streets.
4:50 am
zoozzoom

Damn i have no milk left..popping out to the local shop to get some milk..bbs
4:50 am

take care
5:05 am

I had hoped the grid would be larger
5:22 am

Oh i am so with you on that one..i love large grids.
5:24 am

I would of loved it if bable was like the iron sudoku where you can complete old sudokus...so when you have tiny grids like today ...you could always go and do another one from the past that you may not of done before.
5:24 am
o-o

I talked to a driver from Dallas yesterday ... first trip up north in winter ... said I am crazy to live here. Had to smile ... he looked miserable
5:25 am

do you like Winter there o=o?
5:28 am

Has been my home all my life ... the winters have been mild for several years ... I know I have to be cautious, dress appropriately, etc. ... the winter I spent in vietnam was more of shock .... monsoons
5:32 am

I haven't been that far north but I remember my first visit to Northern Queensland in November- couldn't believe the humidity. We have a very mild climate down here. Not sure how I would cope with your cold although I do like colder weather
5:32 am
Anniebrook

I was at the Brookyn Museum Saturday and they had an exhibit of war photography. There was a picture of a wounded soldier sitting and covered in mud with a glazed eyes. The medic trying to help him had a desperate look on his face. It was shattering. I used to write to Dean Rusk all the time to stop this damn war that we had no business being involved in. I also marched. Pres. Johnson finally caved but so many lives were damaged.
5:37 am
o-o

Nixon's peace with honor accounted for more than 5000 dead ... despite what anyone says ... the troops are treated similarly to tanks and jeeps ... commodities to be used, abuse and tossed aside
5:38 am
Anniebrook

yes, I agree
5:38 am
o-o

the stop loss program in my view is criminal
5:39 am

I just checked on conscription for both our countries...seems it was to provide additional fodder for Vietnam and both countries stopped about the same time

Oh, Ruby. What a mess. So sorry.

oh no! def stolen? or perhaps lost
6:09 am

he even had his SS card! Who knew?
6:10 am
lynxxx

what do you mean a target? has it happened before?
6:10 am
rubyfoo

He had his residency card, driver's license, insurance card for the car, Amex card as well. What a mess!
6:10 am
rubyfoo

I think if he's just dropped it, someone would have turned it in
6:10 am
rubyfoo

Yes it has. He's old and oblivious to his surroundings.
6:12 am
rubyfoo

I have no idea what to do about his SS card, but it leaves him open to identity theft and I probably have to re-pply for the residency card, which took 3 months in 2012
6:12 am

More problems for you to deal with - I am sorry
6:12 am

even if I were on the border though, I do not think I would wish to spend half an hour clearing customs just sitting there idiling in a line up. the savings would be lost
