ruru, whenever don gets a new piece of techno, he rarely looks at the user guide. then wonders why he can't work it out. lol. i thought that maybe a problem with you also. it seems to be a male thing.

rbud, i have to admit, the camera on my phone does get a workout. with 3 grandkiddies and a hubby doing the darnedest things, i just snap the moment.
2:27 am
rbud

kid has cracked his screens a dozen times on his latest whatever - he always wants the latest models.
2:28 am
rbud

camera might be cool, but I have one of those. a nice 35 mm old school expensive one. still love it, too.
2:28 am
grannyrose

rbud, hubby has a hard cover for his phone pad which he flips shut whenever he is not actually using the phone.
2:29 am
grannyrose

yeah, i know rbud, but how often do you have lying around ready to use?
2:29 am
rbud

I don't buy our son phones, he gets them here and there. always trading up and around. so they're his problem.
2:31 am
rbud

yep, that's the problem. I do have a decent little digital camera, but the old one's still lots more fun. getting harder to find places to develop the film though! the old school stuff is dwindling away. :(
2:31 am

wish I still had my darkroom equipment, I was serious about photography back in college.

rbud, hubby is going to set up a dark room in our garage. he is a professional photographer.
2:37 am
rbud

oh, neat! I don't claim to be professional, but I did used to enjoy trying for artsy shots... and I went through a B & W phase, still have some of those framed and hanging around the place.
2:39 am
rbud

does he do portrait type stuff? or work for a paper or something? or freelance?
2:39 am
rbud

(so nosy... sorry...) :)
2:39 am
grannyrose

it was so funny! yesterday, we were watching grandson's football match ( aussie rules ) and don was taking photos. as usual he adopted his professional posture, which makes his body a tripod. my son was having a quiet chuckle to himself. but when said son saw the pics, he was gob-smacked.
2:42 am
grannyrose

not nosy, at all. he has been made redundant by the university. i have to admit, he has a beautiful sense of what is worth taking a pic of. one of his photos...the silhouette of a sheep against a gorgeous sunrise. and another was an harbour, full of sailing boats, and the water was so smooth it was like a mirror.
2:46 am
rbud

sounds lovely! there's a lot to be said for old school - too bad so few appreciate it these days.
2:51 am

rbud, he has promised himself never to do another wedding...at least not professionally. but he really can't stop himself when it comes to the grandkiddies.

that is nice, Trif. Sorry you can't sleep, but you seem to have picked a good night for it ;)

all - mr hate had the girls, so I got to spend most of the weekend with my dear valentine. HEAVEN
3:28 am

oh, so wonderful, trif.
3:28 am

oh great, so Valentine is still there for you... am so glad :D
3:29 am
Trifioso

he is so good at knowing when we need to cut loose and have some fun - so saturday night we checked out a absolute DIVE bar near his new house, and ended up having a blast. the band was rocking and a night of dancing like an idiot was just what I needed to shake the cobwebs off.
3:29 am
grannyrose

how long is it now, trif? that valentine has been in the picture ?
3:29 am
sprite

sounds wonderful :D
3:30 am

funny you should ask, grannyrose, we were just calculating that this morning over brekky. Fifteen months and going great.

lucky you, trif. nothing like a wild night to stir up the juices...
3:30 am

such a lucky man to have found you
3:30 am

wow!!! trif...how wonderful.
3:30 am

sometimes you just need to dance like a fo4. At least I do anyway.
3:31 am

dancing is a miracle
3:31 am
Trifioso

sprite, I am the lucky lucky lucky one, believe you me. He is far from perfect, of course, (he has abysmal taste in movies) but he is perfect for me.
3:32 am
grannyrose

:-(....wish i could...my days of vertical dancing are over...unless it's a slow waltz....now horizontal dancing....that's another story...lolol
3:32 am
sprite

tsk, screw that, he is the lucky one. You are a beautiful, fun, wonderful lady.
3:32 am
sprite

I hear ya, rose, lol. Same here.
3:32 am
Trifioso

I heard an expression once: dancing is a vertical expression of a horizontal desire.
3:32 am
Trifioso

thanks sprite - and RIGHT back at you!
3:33 am
grannyrose

*giggle*
3:33 am
sprite

lol almost what we say here in dutch. Dancing is the vertical translation of what is a lot more fun doing horizontal.

One person has written (and there are others):

Relationships are not designed to be a lifetime love nest where you live happily ever after. They are designed to teach you something. In the process of learning, love may come, love may stay, and love may go. But regardless of how it turns out, the odds are already stacked against you. When you meet someone, there's a 99 percent that the relationship will fail.

in any language, it's pretty true. and should tell you a LOT about what being married to an irishman was like

**** o-o ****** hello my dear man. are you coping with life well, mate?
3:34 am
Trifioso

wow, that is very profound, o-o. I have to say, I agree
3:35 am
sprite

hey o-o, great to see you. Yes, and I would add to that, that unless you grow and develop together in a relationship, it is doomed from the start.
3:35 am
Trifioso

truest words ever, sprite. if one of the people seeks only to control and put the other down, DOOM

3:38 am
Trifioso

sometimes - and only in my weaker moments - I find I resent that I only got to me4 valentine now, when we don't have so much time together. but then he reminds me - we had to walk the paths we walked to find each other. had we met 15, 20 years ago, we would not have been the same people, and may have never "happened". And then I teasingly remind him that if we had met in his 20s he would have gone to jail for dating me, a mere child :P
3:38 am
grannyrose

i think that's the key...which so many of our kids lose. make your life-partner your best friend first...
3:39 am
grannyrose

lol, trif
3:39 am

lolol Trif! Yes it is true, sometimes you need to 'ripen' before you are ready for a certain relationship.

yes. he didn't know he liked redheads.

it is what we teach our kids here... forget how he or she looks... can you laugh with him/her? Can you really talk together? Ok, in that case, our blessing.
3:40 am

Morning all. Chris and I have been together for nearly 34 years and when I think of all the ups and downs we have been through adn yet are still together. I believe that you have to truly work at any relationship, not run at the first sign of trouble

hm, no guarantee there, Trif. There are as many hypocritical church goers as consistent ones.
3:45 am

trif, tell her to go to a baptist church...man...those baptists are so horny...lol
3:45 am
Trifioso

see, that is exactly what I mean, sprite. mr. hate is GORGEOUS, wealthy, and seemed so exactly perfect when I was younger. I was head over heels with him, as he seemed exactly what I should want. But I can tell you, from the very start I knew he wasn't as nice as he should have been. he was so...cutting. not encouraging, and SELFISH from day one. If I had been stronger in my sense of self, I would have RUN

lol, is it? Didn't realise we europeans were of one mind about this.
3:48 am
Trifioso

I am only generalizing, of course, but in my experience? Yup.
3:48 am
o-o

Working to make a relationship last is a concept many have no idea how to implement. So many have had bad examples. In my view, all is trial and error, and there is no one exemplar.
3:49 am
sprite

my love isn't a churchgoing man... but he is the kindest, warmest, funniest, sweetest soul I ever met.
3:50 am
Trifioso

they are not mutually exclusive, sprite, in any way! I just sort of sensed she would have better luck in a church than in the scuzzy other places she was trolling. mind you, she never said no to ANYONE that asked.
3:50 am
sprite

oh, don't start me on bad examples, o-o... my parents were the epitome of being hateful to eachother. And to us. Thank God we can learn later in life how to be better about relationships.
3:50 am
grannyrose

hmmm, o-o. if we listen and observe our spouses, there is no guess work involved. one needs to have a loving heart, and a clear idea of what one will accept.
3:51 am
sprite

sounds like she would benefit from some work on herself first, in my opinion, Trif. To value herself more. To find a great partner, you first have to be a great partner :)
3:52 am
Trifioso

mr. hate and I fell into this awful pattern where we bickered and picked at each other all the time. I have made a very, very conscious decision to NOT be that way - ever- with my dear Valentine. if there is something that really needs to be discussed, then so be it. but stuff like bad movies? I could care less. I bring some knitting, and happily keep him company while he watches them. At least I get to be near him, and sometimes I put my foot down and insist that we watch something with a good plot, and where no one catches on fire, which seems to be paramount in his viewing choice....
3:52 am
o-o

That may be true for you, granny. Many have never acquired the skills you speak of.
3:53 am
sprite

I am with o-o on the trial and error. Sometimes you think what you do is just fine, or you don't think at all because to you it is normal. And then you find out it isn't either of those... and you change things... and it gets better.
3:54 am
Trifioso

I am only halfway with you on that one, sprite. there are a lot of shades of normal, and just because I might do it differently, doesnt mean I am doing it wrong. But I also agree that there are always new ways of learning to do things. I guess an open mind and open heart are the key
3:55 am
sprite

sounds good, Trif. Skills my love and I learned are, among others: not to criticise; to speak up about what we need and want and wish and not expect the other to read our mind; to say 'I' in discussions and not 'You'; to support eachother in endeavors that are important to us.
3:55 am
Trifioso

that is beautiful sprite!
3:56 am
Trifioso

I am struggling like crazy with the line between want/need, and how to express same. was absolutely NOT allowed in my marriage, so its a new skill set for me.
3:56 am
o-o

There is no normal except in a statistical sense. Those in a relationship often disagree about what each considers common sense.
3:56 am
sprite

hm no, different doesn't mean wrong. But especially when you have grown up in a very screwed up family, you have some ingrained patterns that are pretty sick and you have no idea that they are patterns, nor that they are sick. Until you learn.
3:57 am
sprite

need = almost impossible to live without.
want = would really really like this to be/happen
3:57 am
Trifioso

I feared that I would be alone too long, and then get so set in my ways that I could not change them.
3:58 am
grannyrose

o-o, it so sad to think there are so many people who cannot communicate their needs...or allow their spouse to voice what they need, without feeling hurt and rejected.
3:58 am
Trifioso

i am not particularly deft at it, granny. I either can't express it clearly, or I DEMAND, neither of which is quite the goal. As I said, I am working on it.
3:59 am
sprite

to communicate your needs, you first have to know yourself well enough to know your needs, and then value yourself enough to feel you have a right to try for them.

*hugs Trif* Nobody is perfect, and we all have things we are not particularly skilled in, lol. And still we are lovable.
4:00 am
Trifioso

its definitely the biggest mine field valentine and I walk on. He was bullied, to an extent, in his marriage, so when he feels he is being pressured, or told what to do, he shuts down. so when I get all demanding, no one is going to have a good day. We are learning.
4:01 am
Trifioso

we talk about landmines all the time - it's how we have come to define relationship explosives left by the previous tenants.
4:01 am
grannyrose

good for you trif. i wish you the best. it is so hard to communicate to another person what you actually need..and even more difficult to stand back, and view your beloved's demands dispassionately.
4:01 am
sprite

Trif, my love and I went into couple therapy early in our relation because we really had to learn how to communicate. Both coming from screwed up families. And now we are married almost 18 years, together at least 2 years longer.
4:02 am
Trifioso

he doesn't demand a thing. which I have to admit, is both lovely, and wicked irritating LOLOL
4:02 am
Trifioso

how lovely sprite!
4:02 am
grannyrose

trif...you and he....slow down....when one of you demands....the other needs to say....time out...
4:03 am
o-o

Concepts like is being right more important that maintaining a friendship/relationship, making boundaries, fighting fairly and knowing when to pick a fight because the issue is so important to you never cross the mind of many.
4:03 am
sprite

timeouts are wonderful.
4:03 am
Trifioso

I am just so happy we both found each other. Of course there are things we have to finesse more than other things. but I thank god EVERY SINGLE DAY for putting him in my path. I have never laughed so hard, felt so loved, felt I had so much love to give, or danced so much in my life. He's LOVELY
4:03 am
sprite

amen to all those, o-o
4:04 am
sprite

yay, Trif! So happy for you!
4:04 am
grannyrose

yes, o-o...so true. and trif...my heart dances with you both.
4:05 am
sprite

oh, one last thing that I think is important: show your love. Touch. Hug. Wink. Smile. Put that silly little note in his suitcase when he goes away for the weekend.
4:05 am
Trifioso

granny dear, that is EXACTLY why he and I don't live in the same house, as yet. I am not ready to give up this independence that was so hard fought, and he needs to be on his own for a bit longer. (he was only divorced 2.5 years ago, and needs to grow into himself as a singleton a bit more. being able to have our own space works very well for us right now.
4:05 am
Trifioso

oh, I am ALL OVER that one, sprite, and so is he!
4:06 am
sprite

great :) I thought you'd be. Just stating it because it is so so so important.

4:19 am
puglet

Arm is fine and yes I did sleep pretty well for a change---How was you day yesterday? Did you get all the things done that you wanted
4:20 am
puglet

And Mrs Rose-the electric went out before I got your answer about yesterday
4:20 am
grannyrose

pugs, did you have to apply a compression bandage, or did it settle down on it's own?
4:21 am
sprite

am glad, pugs! You were due a break. I am fine. Did all I planned to do, cooked dinner and my love was so happy with it all. So all was good. Boy misbehaved, but not into extremes, just rude and lazy and moody.
4:21 am
puglet

it settled on its own and I did watch how I used it

I didn't have them either, pug. It doesn't always work that way, alas.
4:27 am
sprite

we usually are, sister of my soul ;)
4:30 am
sprite

pug, you do know it is ok to rant and rave about it, don't you? And to cry and feel betrayed by your body and all that. It is a bit like mourning, to learn you have such a disease. You kinda have to mourn the loss of your healthy body.
4:32 am
puglet

I dont like being a wet blanket Sprite--and causing everyone to have a bad though on the days
4:33 am
sprite

sweetie, you are not here to entertain us or keep us upbeat. You are here because you belong with us, we are friends. And as your friends, we want you to tell us how you really are and feel.
4:33 am
grannyrose

awww, pugs...you are such a valued friend...if you need to rant and rave....go for it.
4:34 am
rubyfoo

all of us go through rough time, whether it's our marriages, children or health, and since we care for each other, it is great to have this place for talking about how we feel
4:34 am
rubyfoo

we are all long-distance "sisters"
4:34 am
grannyrose

what ruby said...pugs.
4:34 am
sprite

pugs, imagine I would never talk about my issues, only be happy-go-lucky here. Wouldn't you hate it that I kept my pain away from you?
4:35 am
sprite

we are, ruby
4:35 am
puglet

You guys would not like the things that goes through my mind for I dont like it myself
4:36 am
puglet

its you guys on here that gives me hope on the new days and I love each of you very much
4:36 am
sprite

it is not about whether we like it or not, pugs. It is about sharing with your friends, so we can see how it really is with you atm. Please tell us. It is a nasty blow to learn you have diabetes yourself.
4:38 am
rubyfoo

pugs:EACH OF US FEELS NEGATIE AND SOMETIMES AWFUL THOUGHTS FROM TIME TO TIME; IT IS NORMAL. I JOKE WITH MY FRIEND FROM sa ABOUT SHOOTING MY HUSBAND THROUGH THE BATHROOM DOOR. nOT NICE, BBUT IT IS ALMOST FUNNY
4:38 am
rubyfoo

whoops, didn't *** to shout
4:39 am
grannyrose

*hands ruby the gun* my darling...could i persuade you to something more subtle...like poison...
4:39 am
sprite

I'll tell you some of my thoughts at that time.
1. f*ck it all, not this too, what am I living for anyway, I'd just as good could be dead.
2. I'll ignore it, so hell if it kills me quicker that way.
3. Woe me, why me, God or fate or whatever are always out to get me.

So... what are YOUR thoughts?
4:39 am
puglet

since His last bout-I honestly feel my soul and whatever else has just gave up on life and Iam tired of the constant battle and truthfully Iam ready to go home--and if it werent for you all and OO--I have no reason to look for a tomorrow---now thats my thoughts
4:39 am
rubyfoo

she and I talk about that awful Pistorius, that's why we make that joke
4:40 am
rubyfoo

Whe I had cancer, tthere was a group "Whyme?" And my answer ws always, "Why not me?"
4:41 am
grannyrose

pugs, you do so to have a reason to look for a tomorrow...me...sprite...ruby...liz...\nbarbie...
4:41 am
sprite

see, I thought it might be something like that. Pugs, I think it is perfectly normal to have such thoughts and feelings in your situation. It is a helluva job you have there. Please please vent it more... either here or in email or through gmail chat. Please don't try to hide it from us. We want to be there for you.
4:42 am
rubyfoo

and as my Mormon friend used to say "God only gives us as much as we can handle" and "What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger"
4:43 am
sprite

true, ruby! Best answer ever. But it is also important to allow yourself a bit of self pity. Not all day through, but once a day, to vent and cry and let all those feelings out.
4:43 am
grannyrose

ruby...those quotes are straight from the bible...it is non-sectarian.
4:43 am
sprite

But God shouldn't always measure our ability to the very last nanometer!
4:44 am
o-o

You have been abused, pug; criminally. You feel shame. You will not forgive yourself for things you did not choose nor have control over. It is easy to say but so hard to do ... you must find a purpose and put meaning in your life. What you have experienced will be extremely difficult to overcome without professional help. Then again ... I am the last one to lecture you.
4:44 am
grannyrose

o-o...please lecture her...your words are so good for her.
4:45 am
sprite

o-o... exactly. The whole truth in one paragraph. That is it, pugs. So much that wasn't your fault and that you blame yourself for anyway.
4:45 am
rubyfoo

I thank God every day -- for every day. I have lost so many riends and relatives already from cancer that each day is a gift no matter how bad things sometimes get. Unfortunately, I can't cry any more as I am the one who has to hold things together
4:45 am
puglet

thanks guys--you all help me more then you know or I can say
4:45 am

we love you, pug. More than you realise. You are important to me and I need you in my life.

4:49 am

I saw half of it, ruby. Couldn't stand to see more. It was so like my parents' marriage.
4:50 am

amen to that, sprite. We love you just as you are, pugs, and if we can make you smile a little, so much the better, little red-haired friend.

we have a "dog shower" in front of the house but the dogs are so big and strong that it's practically impossible to get them to stand in the tub. Then, when they're clean, they tend to look for the closest dirt to roll in

I can't take them to a groomer for many reasons 1) there's only one in the valley who'll do chows and it's far and 2) the two won't fit in the car at the same time and 3) I can't get them into the car anyway and DH is no help

There are lots of mobile groomers. They have vans with all the equiment. Works out wonderfully.

When we lived in Miami (with two other chows) the groomer would come in his air-cont=conditioned van and take them to his salon. And it cost half what it costs here!

or get one of those power wash wands you can buy for cleaning the sides of buildings. They take a soap cartridge and screw right to you garden hose. Tie the pooch to a handy tree, stand back 15 feet, and wash away!

had the shot in my hip on Wednesday - got a couple days of relief but now after sitting for a while it hurts when I get up. Have to stand for a minute before I can walk and then it is OK. So some improvement as I had pain all the time before. Sitting compresses the hip joint that I dont have any more.

thanks for asking
7:46 am

I am still hopeful

Are you still going to Ireland next month? I hope you are. Quite a trip.
7:48 am

the radiologist that did the injection told me it may take a week or more before I really see any difference. I already do so am hopeful. Just wish it took care of all the pain but nothing they can really do when my joint is gone other than surgery

I am - leaving in 17 days

HI --may I vote for a 2 month summer break? Also think compulsory school years should be extended from 12 to 13 --- there is so much more for kids to learn today than when we were young -- trying to cram it all in to 12 years makes thinks too much more intensive and a lot of topics are skipped altogeter. Not good for a well rounded education.

going to have to think about that one. ty
12:40 pm

but I always thoughtit was a place for a religious retreat

12:41 pm

and I thought the Last Supper was upstairs in a public house.
12:42 pm

is the last supper place the ce 7?
12:42 pm
hootowl

probably named after the fact. It was new to me too.
12:42 pm
hootowl

yep
12:42 pm
Nef

hego, I've been taught it was a private house with the dining room upstairs
12:42 pm

no idea - monkeys not working
12:42 pm

Do you need a different clue, cyber?
12:42 pm
hego

no one really knows.
12:43 pm
hootowl

very true
12:43 pm
Nef

ce=a penny (minus second cons.) +vowel + my un*** Chris raised me\
12:44 pm

very good Nef!
12:45 pm

12:45 pm

thanks hego.

The Catholics say the last supper was held in a private home, possibly that of an apostle, Nicodemus or Joseph of Arimethea.
12:45 pm
hego

a seder
12:46 pm
cybernan

only vowel I can see that works with that is the a, and that's not it
12:46 pm
hego

it is in the middle
12:46 pm
MollyL

Yes it does, look at Nef's clue again.
12:46 pm
Nef

yes it is!
12:48 pm
hootowl

ce + sodium chloride + vowel
12:48 pm
cybernan

only vowel between the t and the c that I can see is the a -- and that word isn't accepted
12:48 pm
MollyL

Kind of odd that the ce7 is defined the way it is. The language spoken by Jesus and his people was Aramaic, not Middle English or French.
12:48 pm
MollyL

There is no T, Nef's clue says minus the last letter
12:49 pm
hootowl

VERY old dictionary is Enable!
12:49 pm
cybernan

oh -- drop third consonant, not the 2nd -- got it - ty
12:49 pm
MollyL

Oh, now I see the confusion. Her clue says minus the second consonant N not the last letter T
12:49 pm
hootowl

hi Moll
12:49 pm
Nef

OOPS! My clue was wrong! I meant the 3rd cons. not the 2nd!
12:50 pm

12:56 pm

12:56 pm
Nef

As a nurse, we have to do the 5 rights of meds and triple check everything else it seemed. But now that I'm retired, I don't NEED to know my right form my left so much and that's where I went wrong this AM

thanks forte ce 7/36 clue
1:20 pm
Nef

I know nurses who have lost their jobs from medication errors; even IF the doctor was the one who made the mistake in the first place! I did see 1 resident (last year of med school) who flunked out for the year due to her trying to make a med error in spite of nurses and the pharmacist refusing to follow her orders.
1:20 pm
MollyL

I have heard that medical care in other countries is sub-standard to US medical care. Which is why so many people come here from other countries to go to medical school.
1:22 pm
Nef

I'm not so sure about that, Molly. The med schools here are considered superior to those in some other countries though; but it may be due to the higher technologies available to med schools here for all I know
1:22 pm

5:11 pm
crosshair

Life is often compared to a roller coaster, but I find the Ferris wheel more metaphorically appropriate. On it, we still go high and low; but the pace is more relaxed because there isn't a point in going nowhere fast. It's enjoyable ride because sometimes, if you're lucky, you'll even stop at the top. - xtine
5:13 pm
