pink, it's really weird. my brain blocks the pain messages, i felt very hot, sweat pouring off me and nausea +++. my body's reaction to pain at the moment. so i backed right off, started with just one hour, and only increasing in 1/2 hour increments every few weeks.
1:49 am
pink17

1:53 am
puglet

we make gaskets for all kinds of stuff, from semis to faucets
1:53 am
grannyrose

my employer is fi4, my doctor is fi4, my physio is fi4...it's the workcover insurance company who is being an a-hole.
1:54 am
pink17

puglet

sprite

good morning all :)
2:17 am

good morning and hugs and hi Sprite
2:17 am
flosey

that does sound hopeful, pugs
2:17 am
flosey

hi there Sprite
2:18 am
puglet

Sprite did my email come through last night? Just as I hit send the storm hit
2:18 am
sprite

*hugs pugs and flosey*
Sounds good, pugs.
2:18 am
sprite

the short one, pugs? I replied to that one.
2:19 am
grannyrose

whoot, whoot!! spritey's here....{{HUGS}} hun. how are you?
2:19 am
puglet

nope, then it didnt--I will redo it later--sorry
2:19 am
sprite

*hugs rose* Am fine, darling. Had a lovely day yesterday and am now paying the price. But otherwise very well. How about you?
2:20 am
grannyrose

good grief, pugs. mom and boyfriend simply cannot keep their lives on the straight and narrow at all.
2:20 am
sprite

no problem, pugs. It should still be in your Out box in your email program, though.
2:20 am
grannyrose

awwww, *much gentle hug and butterfly kisses*
2:21 am
grannyrose

sprite, just one word...magnesium??
2:21 am
sprite

good word, rose. Yes, will take some extra today.
2:21 am
puglet

I dont know how to do that Sprite--just when I hit send, the storm hit and the thing said dissend or something like that
2:22 am
grannyrose

pugs, in your email server, is there a tag marked 'drafts'?
2:22 am
puglet

yes Rose
2:22 am
sprite

there should be a folder called Out or Concepts in your email program. The email should still be in there and all y ou would have to do is to send it again.
2:22 am
sprite

or Drafts, indeed
2:22 am
grannyrose

open that then, your email may still be in there.
2:23 am
puglet

okay, thanks
2:23 am
grannyrose

or like sprite said...really why do i bother opening my mouth. sprite says it so well....lolol
2:23 am
sprite

lololllll
2:23 am
sprite

killed the Ks.
2:24 am
puglet

yes Rose, she is living with this guy thats on drugs and has several records under his belt, like stealing cars and such
2:24 am
grannyrose

at least pugs gets it in stereo...
2:24 am
sprite

easypeasy court session then, pugs. No way a judge will think that that is a good place for a young boy.
2:24 am
puglet

and I like that too-:)
2:25 am
puglet

I do hope so Sprite
2:25 am
puglet

I just wish she would leave him be--He goes to her house and she brainwashes him
2:27 am
sprite

she is a really toxic mum
2:27 am
puglet

she told him not to long ago that she wish that his stepmom and half brother would die and he came home crying
2:28 am
puglet

its stuff like that, that she does to him
2:28 am
sprite

let me rephrase that. She is a toxic mum that should be kicked in the behind, then gagged - permanently.
2:28 am
puglet

yes!, she dont need any kids
2:29 am
flosey

she doesn't deserve him
2:29 am
sprite

well, make sure you tell the judge about that, pugs.
2:29 am
sprite

amen to that, flosey
2:29 am
puglet

the lawyer knows all this stuff
2:30 am
puglet

no she dont Flosey and shes got two more that are younger then him
2:30 am
sprite

the dad's lawyer, or the mum's one?
2:30 am
puglet

the dad's
2:30 am
sprite

if she isn't careful, the judge may well decide she can't have the other two either
2:31 am
sprite

very good.
2:31 am
puglet

that would be a blessing for the other two for sure
2:32 am
sprite

imagine telling a child that. I could easily do something unlawful to her for that alone
2:32 am
puglet

I talked to Gradyn last night and he does not want to go there at all
2:33 am
flosey

how old is Gradyn?
2:33 am
sprite

it is a great thing he has you for support, pugs, and for telling him healthy things about his right to speak up for himself and be heard.
2:33 am
puglet

He really likes his step mom and little brother, Iam so afraid he's going to have issures later on in life
2:33 am
puglet

hes 8 flosey no and will be 9 the end of sept
2:34 am
puglet

8 now I meant
2:34 am
flosey

in grade 4?
2:34 am
sprite

pugs, he probably will. But he will be able to overcome them. Your support is very important and makes a huge difference.
2:34 am
puglet

he will be going into the 3rd
2:36 am
flosey

all the confusion, commotion must be very unsettling for him
2:37 am
sprite

and he has a good dad. Makes a lot of difference as well.
2:37 am
flosey

absolutely, Sprite, agree 100%
2:37 am
puglet

it is and it started when he was very young. He was late talking and stuff due to all the crap
2:37 am
puglet

yes, thank God for that
2:38 am
flosey

yes, that happens, pugs, but if his homelife gets settled, he'll catch up
2:38 am
puglet

shes not even working and since her boyfriend is in jail no money coming in the home
2:39 am
sprite

all good news for the court session, pugs
2:39 am
puglet

yes it is for us but those other boys, I feel so sorry for
2:40 am
flosey

17 to go but I'm getting sleepy, will do them tomorrow
2:40 am
sprite

night night flosey, lovely dreams
2:40 am
puglet

good night Flosey, take care
2:40 am
grannyrose

nighty night, flosey. hope you have a lovely sleep.
2:41 am
sprite

pugs, you are letting your worry thoughts rule you... try and focus on what you CAN change... you can speak up for Gradyn and make sure the judge knows about the mother. The rest is not in your hands.
2:41 am
flosey

goodnight ladies and my hopes and prayers are with the children's homelife being settled
2:41 am
puglet

I know Sprite, you are so right
2:42 am
puglet

thanks Flosey
2:42 am
sprite

*hugs pugs* I know how that goes, dear friend, I do this myself as well, so that is why I say it
2:44 am
puglet

I been letting things get to me here lately and got to do as you told me before--the stuff going on with friends here and home here and so on
2:45 am
sprite

it is the way we have 'trained' our brains and thoughts to work, pugs. Learning a better way takes time and at first it is so very easy to slip back in the old patterns. Don't feel bad about it, just try and get back into the new one.
2:46 am
puglet

so what are your guy's week-end plans
2:47 am
sprite

today I have to shop and cook. For the rest I plan on taking things slowwww :D
2:48 am
puglet

you say that Sprite but it hardly ever happens for you-lol
2:48 am
grannyrose

praying for some sunshine so i can go out and plant those wretched tulips....lol
2:48 am
sprite

2:48 am
puglet

2:48 am
sprite

2:48 am
sprite

2:49 am
puglet

2:49 am
grannyrose

well i have nearly run out of time....every time i feel well enough to go out, the weather changes and rains...:-(
2:50 am
grannyrose

oooh, sprite, macaroni cheese?? do you add bacon pieces?
2:50 am
puglet

can you not start them in a pot in the house
2:50 am
sprite

bacon or ham. bacon is a good idea, actually
2:50 am
puglet

and make that garlic cheese, yummy
2:51 am
sprite

garlic for sure
2:51 am
grannyrose

*giggle* any level areas in house covered with begonias or cyclamens...

2:53 am
sprite

2:53 am
grannyrose

2:53 am
puglet

I was thinking more of the broom--lol
2:54 am
grannyrose

*knock, knock, knock, knock* darn....sprite is taking forever to open this door!!
2:54 am
sprite

it is open, it is open!
2:54 am
grannyrose

ooohhh, come over here and say th4, madam pugs...
2:54 am
puglet

are you crazy? Not going to ruin it by bringing him--lol
2:55 am
sprite

well we could give W a minute or 5 with my husband... would do him good...
2:55 am
grannyrose

oh, sprite, fang is going to be in the UK/scotland in july. shall i send her over??
2:56 am
puglet

well I think the ocean would put a stop on the red wagon, where as my broom would be np-lol
2:56 am
puglet

yes do Rose, I know Sprite would just love that
2:56 am
sprite

oh please do, rose! *sharpens sarcastic tongue to the max*
2:56 am
grannyrose

oh, YOUR broom, th4's okay th4. make sure you fit the booster rockets....lolol
2:57 am
puglet

will do and are you not traveling with fang Rose? lol
2:57 am
sprite

'oh fang, how absolutely lovely to finally meet you! Heard all about your generous heart from our rose. Yes. You are amazing. Such a support, and so unselfish. A true example for us all. Errr... why are you getting so purple in da face?"
2:58 am
puglet

LOL, Sprite
2:58 am
sprite

some people cannot take a compliment, bless their hearts...
2:58 am
grannyrose

brb, need some magnesium. and to quote a certain friend..." are you crazy? not going to ruin it with her" unquote.
2:59 am
sprite

we wil ask fang to take care of W, and vice versa.
3:00 am
puglet

3:05 am
sprite

oh rose, pug said you had said I was right about something. That is rare enough to get me guessing... please email me about it? :)

3:08 am
sprite

he is definitely a manary, grin.
3:09 am
grannyrose

pugs??? you are NOT stupid...please stop saying th4. it makes me so upset....
3:09 am
puglet

okay Sprite
3:10 am
sprite

lol I played babble when I came home yesterday, after my dinner. One of my first words was yttria. Isn't that worrisome??
3:10 am
puglet

well like I told you both(which sprite didnt get) this is the only place I have interacted with people around the world and Iam not very wise on stuff like that
3:10 am
grannyrose

pugs, you are one of the wisest women i know, the other is sprite, and my friend june.
3:10 am
sprite

I agree, rose, about our pugs being wise.
3:11 am
puglet

Judi

BRB...
9:23 am

No it's not Judi, but you were right about it being a choking hazard. Hope the kids learn to put their pencils out of reach.

The original 13 do have dates...from the State Of Delaware web site...Since 1933, the governors of Delaware have proclaimed December 7 as Delaware Day in honor of that day in 1787 when Delaware became the first state to ratify the Federal Constitution, thus making Delaware the first state in the New Nation.

12:06 pm

I have never heard of Temple Grandin either. Do describe
12:07 pm

She is a brilliant autistic woman who has devised humane means of leading cows to slaughter (!!). I learned a lot from her books
12:08 pm

Would love a clue for any of the et s except for the 4/5
12:08 pm

Thank you all, I will follow it up. The fuss in this country is over the non-labelling of Halal meat which does not include pre stunning. Rather cruel
12:12 pm
rubyfoo

I think the protesters tend to be acting out their prejudices. If they really cared, they wouldn't eat meat
12:13 pm
cybernan

hello everyone :)
12:13 pm
rubyfoo

Labelling here is a scandal. I am very reluctant to buy pre-packaged ood
12:13 pm
jaxx7

Possibly, but there are obviously 'kinder' of ways of bringing animals to slaughter
12:13 pm
rubyfoo

also food
12:13 pm
sukee

Isn't Kosher meat killed the same way?
12:14 pm
rubyfoo

I think so, sukee. After all, both practices come from the same region
12:14 pm
jaxx7

It is a matter of hygiene as well as a religious practice
12:15 pm
rubyfoo

I agree, Jaxx, but I think industrial animal farming is the worst. The killing bothers me less than the way the animals are raised
12:15 pm
sukee

Yay, found all the et words myself :)
12:16 pm

Maybe it has to do with how hot it is in the Middle East. And as for shellfish, oy veh!

Yes, nan -- I will post some pics of the "unpacking" stage we are in... moved the last week of May, finished up teaching a week ago (and promptly got "the virus" the kids had at school). Now starting to really get things organized, but it takes so long. How are you?
12:48 pm

i have 3 t's (different columns) to finish and 8 g words to find and 4 n words
12:49 pm

good -- waiting for partial knee replacements, so not doing any travelling this year -- not doing much of anything! Glad to hear the house is finally finished -- can't believe it took such a long time! Or were you and Tom doing some of the work yourselves?
12:50 pm
MLFAN17

stid how long did your house take to build?
12:51 pm
stidmama

We did some of the tiling and such (pics of the master shower are at my website, I'll post a link for you), and painted the master bath, but mostly it was waiting for the contractor to pull people from other jobs to finish ours. It took about 9 months of actual time after they broke ground, about 6 months of work and three of waiting for things to happen in between.
12:52 pm
MLFAN17

wow. my mom is having her house built. took a while with different contractors involved and a tree situation
12:52 pm

ne 5/12 clue please?
12:54 pm
cybernan

love the shower, stid -- good job!
12:55 pm
stidmama

They were ready to go pretty quick, but because we had to figure out how to pay off the horrible mortgage company that had bought our original mortgage and then arrange all-new financing for construction, that took US about two extra months. And the contractor delayed at the early part too, which cost us another couple of months. We got a GREAT interest rate, but only just got under the wire with the original quote. Meanwhile, the insurance company decided that because we were putting in a stick-built house instead of another manufactured home they would only pay for four months of additional expenses. It was an eye-opener for us. We should, perhaps, have asked a lot more questions early on.
12:55 pm
stidmama

:-D It is very pretty. But there was an issue with the caulk so I had to remove it and waiting for the new caulk to dry. By the end of the weekend it should be useable again. Plus side: I get better and better at grouting and caulking the more I practice!
12:57 pm
MLFAN17

stid did you get caulk happy?
12:57 pm
cybernan

Building always comes with a uniques set of problems (we have build 4 new houses over the 50 years of our marriage so I know how relieved you are to have it over and done with!
12:58 pm
MLFAN17

cyber why did you have every house you lived in built?
12:58 pm
cybernan

just remember -- no regrets and "we should have's" allowed!
12:58 pm
stidmama

yep. Relieved and now figuring out how to fix the things the contractor and subs didn't do properly... fortunately I come from a long line of carpenters, farmers and handmen, so I can fix almost anything!

12:59 pm

stidmama

Thanks, nan -- there are only two things I would change, one of which I can fix when the exterior doors need replacing in about 25 years, and one that I can live with (the hallway is slightly narrower than I would have liked) because it would mean re-engineering a bit.

and they are trying to belittle worz in the eyes of his friends, it is their choice
4:55 pm
frogface

i'm not being aggressive, i'm not being bawdy, i just want to put my point across, but nobody who actually makes comments is actually willing to comment now that i'm here
4:56 pm
jaxx7

I don't think they are being malicious, just interested. It is a small community of people with an interest in Word games. The chat log gets folk involved but there is no nuances to the chat. I suggest you play the game quietly in the background.
4:57 pm
frogface

yeah i'll just shut up and let everyone comment on my relationship, good idea jaxx. thanks for the advice
4:59 pm
frogface

i spoke up now to answer any resonable question about worz, but mostly about me, but since nobody is willing to crawl out of the woodwork i'll just sit quiet
4:59 pm
jaxx7

I didn't mean it that way, frogface. perhaps they should ask Worzel straight out and stop making inferences into private business.
4:59 pm
frogface

ask worzel what, what would you all like to know
5:01 pm
jaxx7

They feel a connection with him and hence with you. I don't need to know anything more than that you are no longer together. It is none of my business and I am sorry that you are upset.
5:01 pm
ChrissieDee

Di, leave it love. No one chased me away, I just logged off ehile getting ready for bed.
5:02 pm
frogface

the ones i'm talking about don't feel connected with him, the ones who are properly connected with him can get in touch with me and ask me anything privately
5:02 pm
frogface

sorry sis, just needed to do this
5:02 pm
ChrissieDee

I put what I wanted to say in my profile.

5:04 pm
jaxx7

I have been away at my sister's for the past few days and my PC was down before that so this is all news to me. Chrissie, I am sorry for all the uproar. I came in at the end. I wish I could do more but it is none of my business. It was just that everyone 'sounded' cross
5:04 pm
ChrissieDee

Di, don't shout at jaxx, she's not done anything wrong.
5:05 pm
xena

please stop the drama
5:05 pm
frogface

she just told me to play quietly
5:05 pm
frogface

sorry
5:05 pm
jaxx7

I told you that so you could take a long deep breath and relax.
5:06 pm
frogface

word for word you told me to play in the background jaxx

Love you too, see you tomorrow - not too early though. Have some messages to get first xx

I do, chrissie. Bright fuschia pink, it appeals to Crossy's sense of devilment. I refuse to grow old gracefully
5:14 pm

Fabulous jaxx!
5:14 pm
jaxx7

Hi, Seaspray
5:14 pm

personally I have no issues with anyone who plays babble; sure molly and I sharpen ourselves on each other once in a while, but I think we have both grown with it and rather enjoy it now:) plus crossy is mellowing in his old fartdom;)

Whoa! My techno-genius daughter (not the one with the big car - the other daughter ) has just tracked the IP addresses of Babblers. Interesting indeed.
5:22 pm
jaxx7

My mother described it as you never having to be alone again and that is so true
5:22 pm
crosshair

chrissie. Just read your profile. i also started up babble due to cancer. The chemo reacked the heck out of my short term memories and I started off using babble to exercise my mind.
5:22 pm
ChrissieDee

Why is it interesting Soodle?
5:22 pm
Soodle

I think from now on, I will block the chat & just search for words solo.
5:23 pm
ChrissieDee

Crossy, you were a godsend to me at that time. Thank you
5:23 pm
crosshair

she tracked the i.p addys?? very cool. See if she can figure out where i am within a 100 mile radius. will be a good challange for her:))
5:23 pm

It was a lot for me, crossy
5:29 pm
crosshair

then you owe me a pretty postcard of a nice scenic view near you. something i can pin up by my desk:))
5:30 pm
jaxx7

Teignmouth is pretty scenic. How do I get the PC to you?
5:30 pm
ChrissieDee

Soodle, have you really blocked the chat?
5:31 pm
crosshair

just email me and i will give you the info.
5:31 pm

Chrissie, where are you in the UK?
5:31 pm

5:32 pm

I was born in Manchester but moved here to Devon in 1955.
5:32 pm
ChrissieDee

Really crossy. Thought you were Canadian through and through
5:33 pm
crosshair

nope we came here in 1966 via BOAC airlines:)
5:33 pm

A babe in arms crossy?
5:34 pm

I was but a wee sprout of 2
5:34 pm
ChrissieDee

Lovely move jaxx
5:35 pm
ChrissieDee

I've moved about 15 miles from where I was born
5:36 pm
jaxx7

It was but it is so quiet here, it can be boring. I had all these plans before I married and met my husband, a Devonian through and through, and stayed. I do still yearn for wider shores, I must confess
5:39 pm
crosshair

Crossy love the rural/country life. Better that urban concrete jungles with too many people:)
5:40 pm
jaxx7

Good job you didn't stay here with all the immigrants changing the British nation forever
5:40 pm
crosshair

I have the best of both worlds where i am now> We are in tourist country, so we have all the ammenities but the hoards of people are transitory in nature and if you have patience, they go home
5:41 pm
ChrissieDee

Controversial but true jaxx
5:41 pm
crosshair

Canada is one big melting pot as to people who move here. we have people from all corners of the globe. It is not so bad. we learn new things from others
5:42 pm
crosshair

as they learn from us
5:43 pm
jaxx7

That could be said for Teignmouth too. There used to be about 10000 folk living here which swelled in the summer and then the 'grockles' went home. Not now though. We are 12.500 and counting. No green spaces as it has all been covered in concrete and 'God's waiting rooms'. That is my next stop.
5:43 pm
crosshair

lol@ grockles, we call them "citiots"
5:44 pm
jaxx7

The Cornish called them emmetts (ants)
5:45 pm
crosshair

we have one town near here, jaxx, called Wasaga Beach. it has the world's longest freshwater beach and although it has about 11,000 year-long resident; in 1992 they had to close the roads coming in because they had 200,000 tourists show up for the July long weekend
5:46 pm
crosshair

I was living there in 1989 and the population was 1100
5:46 pm
ChrissieDee

That's some traffic jam!
5:46 pm
jaxx7

Wow. Our biggest export is 'Muse'
5:47 pm
crosshair

it was utter chaos. We had to call the army in for crowd control and to help keep things moving
5:47 pm
jaxx7

Has it happened again since?
5:48 pm
crosshair

now Wasaga is turing into a retirement community of sort as those who partied here 30 years ago now want to retire here
5:48 pm
crosshair

have never happened to that extent sinse
5:48 pm
crosshair

since
5:48 pm
jaxx7

Teignmouth has gone from tourism to care homes. Sign of the times, I guess.
5:49 pm
crosshair

yup, we all get a bit older and use our party towns to take our ease as we get older
5:49 pm

You'll have to move back to Manchester
5:51 pm

I still have an aunt and cousins there so I could, I guess. I would have to go on my own as my husband is set in concrete where Devon is concerned
5:51 pm

The only problem is, we're not the younger generation now ;)
5:52 pm

My grandfather and his wife moved to Manchester from Liverpool in the 1850s. His grandparents came from Co Cavan in Ireland and set up as grocers in Liverpool.

Co Cavan is on the border between South and North. I have Orangemen ancestors and soodles has only just got over that fact as she is 'the other lot'
5:58 pm

Oh, sorry, geography not my strong point
5:59 pm

Say goodnight to your sister for me. I am sorry she is so upset.
6:00 pm

Thanks jaxx, I know there are a lot here who wish her well

It wasn't mine either until I started tracing my family tree. My knowledge of History was poor too as I was a lab technician all my working life. Preferred Science to Arts
6:02 pm

And it's time for me to leave too. Take care all

Good, just walked to our local brewery, met friends and walked home. Nice evening here. How are you?
9:12 pm
Jacula

Suffering a bit from hay fever at the moment, Jilly, as is my son. Just as well I didn't get it until my mid-40s as I used to have to help with the hay-making etc. The weather's been good here and it's gardening season, atchoo!

Hi in our little corner of the great Northwest the skies are mostly blue and the temperature is very pleasant also jilly. Just had dinner and will watch tv for awhile. Glad to hear you were out and about.

Stidgmere - Would you believe I've never been to IKEA? I do have a set of their dining chairs (which I'm making my own covers for), but my daughter gave them to me.
9:17 pm
Jacula

The thing about the first day of summer though is that it heralds the shortening of the daylight hours again. I love it when it's light until after 10pm.
9:17 pm

I kept thinking in France we should visit the IKEA store but my husband won't go in them anywhere. Our local store is near Seattle.

Hello dear ruru

I remember those days - go out in the dark, come home in the dark. The only thing that brightened it was knowing our dog was waiting to greet me like I was the loveliest person in the world.

We will have to wait until about ten o'clock on July 4th when fireworks go off because any before that can't be seen inthe white skies.

Jilly - I can imagine! Was it the ice-cream seller's attempt at being 'amusing'?
9:20 pm
Jillyjill

Same here. Already heard firecrackers going off tonight...wish they would outlaw them here!

Friends around here were posting other Christmas songs that they had heard it play...

Who is the vendor? Someone from an area that thinks snow is exotic?

Urgh, Jilly. Your ice-cream seller reminds me of one of my friends who loves putting XXX days to Christmas countdown reminders on her Facebook page. She's a real-life friend but my threats to throttle her are just met with a smile. LOL

Does anyone need any clues, by the way?

That would drive me bonkers as well Jacula! It's bad enough to have the advertising start in Sept!

Ask away then ruru - unless you want to know the meaning of life (47).

9:27 pm
Jacula

Actually it's 42 not 47. LOL

Well just want to say that having you around tonight has been delightful! Go have a good sleep!
9:31 pm
Jacula

No tracking device on you, ruru? Pity! I could have put white pebbles down to show you the way out.
9:32 pm
Jacula

Jilly - thank you! I will shortly (with the aid of ear plugs 'cos my OH will probably be snoring).

I was going to write a blog post before I went to bed but I think I'll leave it until Sunday to do now. The essence of it is that I discovered that nipping over to my local store for half a cucumber an hour before the kick-off the the England vs Uruguay match wasn't the wisest of ideas. The store was full of men buying last-minute supplies of beer and crisps... and all I could find was one absolutely massive cucumber. It was really round and fat, and nearly 2 foot long. I wanted it cut in half and I wanted the fat end (because the thin end, the stalk end, always goes off quicker). I was served by a man and had about 7 men behind me in the queue, every one of which was dying to say something... and bursting to laugh... but it's not 'PC' to do that these days. I was quite amused to witness their heroic struggling and very glad that no one's brains burst through their ears from suppressing it all.

Buying phallic vegetables can be a nightmare. LOL
