sprite

hi rbud :)

1:45 am

sprite

lots of tiny grids, lately :(

1:47 am

rbud

this one's not easy, though, I don't think. odd words.

1:49 am

sprite

ah good, that makes up for it at least. Yesterday's was enjoyable!

1:51 am

puglet

Greetings Friends

1:51 am

sprite

heyyy pugs *hug* How are you? Did you manage to sleep and are you feeling any better?

1:53 am

puglet

Hugs Sprite. Feeling about the same--got a fever al little--and I did sleep some---How are you

1:54 am

sprite

the fever will help your body burn away the infection. But sorry you are feeling rotten :(
I am fine. Slept well, no bad dreams.

1:55 am

puglet

so glad, I pray for you on that every night--you got a big week end planned

1:56 am

sprite

aw sweetie, you are the best. I truly think the Big Guy is listening to you.
No, nothing big. Rob is organising a canoe event this weekend, he has Terra with him and is away until Sunday. So I have kid duty. But not going to work hard at it, grin.

1:57 am

puglet

You mean they are spending the whole week-end with you? wow! lol Has our Rose been on yet

1:59 am

sprite

haven't seen Rose yet, no.
And hey, you know teens... they will be in and out, emptying the fridge, asking for money, forgetting their chores.

2:00 am

puglet

just lock yourself in your room and have a me week-end--lol Use some of your new polish and just pamper yourself :)

2:01 am

sprite

oh, lol, you read my mind. Yes am gonna pimp my nails this weekend. And monday I am gonna spend with a friend, she is gonna teach me to play Colonists of Catan, we are gonna craft a bit and talk and laugh a lot.

2:02 am

puglet

Oh how nice! Do enjoy! Carol will more then likely be down tonight so will go to campgrounds if she does

2:03 am

sprite

oh that is great too. Did you read my email about what she said?

2:04 am

puglet

yes, maybe you are right. But I hope thats what it was

2:05 am

sprite

I really think so. She is your friend, so she cares about you.

2:06 am

puglet

I ran into a old horse club friend and she is to call me when the next meeting is but they are putting on a show the 19th so I will be going to that

2:06 am

sprite

your lovely magnet is sitting right next to me, did I tell you that? I put it on my computer.

2:07 am

sprite

oh wow, nice going! And yay for meeting an old friend. You are doing so great, pugs. Expanding your social circles again.

2:07 am

puglet

glad you liked it :) I would send you the real thing if I could-lol maybe something that looks like one of the dark hunters-lol

2:07 am

sprite

ooooo I wouldn't mind one of those, LOL

2:08 am

puglet

yeah! me either--lol

2:10 am

sprite

how are we on getting the books on your reader? And the music?

2:10 am

puglet

do you have a favorite one? I dont remember his name but the one from the old book, so far, I havent read all them yet

2:10 am

sprite

oh, Julian :)
My favorite... hm I have a couple of those. But maybe the wolf guy. Vane.

2:11 am

puglet

The reader I took to friend just yesterday and shes going to figure it out and then teach me and havent gotten to the music yet

2:11 am

puglet

oh yeah, hes good too :)

2:11 am

sprite

ok sweetie. Yay for the friend and let me know if I can help in any way.

2:12 am

puglet

okay will do!

2:12 am

puglet

Hope our Rose is feeling okay--and no headaches either from those meds

2:13 am

sprite

I have sent you an email with a link to the music folder.

2:13 am

puglet

good---thank you

2:13 am

sprite

Rose seems to be online. But maybe she isn't at the computer at all.

2:13 am

puglet

Sprite, I think this xp is causing me alot of the problems

2:16 am

sprite

it is quite possible, honey. Time to save up for a new computer. Now with the job and the insurance and your own banking account, you may have a chance, maybe?

2:17 am

puglet

yes, but it will be a while yet. Iam trying to catch up on things but its in the list

2:19 am

puglet

Iam sending out the gift today after work, and I ask what I can do to fix things so I hope it goes well there--I have been so sad over all that--will you pray for me on this, please

2:22 am

puglet

the place I get my computer work on, they have a lay-away plan there, so as soon as I can I will go put one in and make payments

2:23 am

sprite

oh yes I will, I already do, sweetie. You are high up in my prayer list :)

2:23 am

sprite

awesome, about the computer

2:23 am

puglet

thanks Sprit

2:23 am

sprite

will be right back, must help Caya with an email

2:23 am

puglet

okay

2:31 am

puglet

Sprite, when I go to download your music, the music thats already on the mp3, will it over ride them or will it go to where those ends or do I need a card to record them on?

2:34 am

sprite

am back. The music will go to the player, it will not override any other music unless it has exactly the same name.

2:34 am

sprite

I don't think you need a card yet. Most players have a lot of space. Enough for 1000 mp3 songs or something like that.

2:35 am

puglet

Beth said she didnt have very many on there--thanks for the imfo

2:37 am

sprite

mp3 is a condensed format. It doesn't take up much computer space at all. Very practical :)

2:37 am

puglet

Iam not sure of the right spelling of this but I was thinking it might be fun for you and caya to buy one of those karaokie machion and have your own singing nights :)

2:38 am

puglet

they are so small too! Much smaller then the old walkmen's

2:38 am

sprite

lolllll it's an idea. My girl just bought herself a whole recording studio. She saved her wages all year and then spent it all on a new guitar and this recording stuff. Quality stuff too.

2:39 am

sprite

oh yes, the size of the players is mostly dictated by us having to be able to use them, lol... we need to push some buttons to get it to our liking.

2:39 am

puglet

good for her! Now you will have to get some kind of music instrament to join her--Drums maybe? lol

2:40 am

sprite

hm no not anymore. I used to play piano... must brush it up again. And flute, but don't have one anymore, gave mine away. And a little bit guitar, but by now Caya is wayyyy better than me.

2:41 am

puglet

Is she a good singer too

2:41 am

sprite

very much so, pugs. A voice like a crystal bell. She needs to work on her volume, she often sings too softly. But she is learning.

2:42 am

puglet

well Iam sure you could get back into the swing of it with a little pratice there

2:42 am

sprite

I have to say, the recording stuff works miracles in that respect, lol! She has to wear special headphones and can't hear her own volume, so she sings stronger with it.

2:42 am

puglet

well a microphone would help that

2:42 am

sprite

yeah I could. Should make it a daily thing again.

2:43 am

puglet

it would be a nice mother and daughter thing

2:43 am

puglet

you and caya could put on a show for us when we get to come-lol

2:44 am

sprite

she likes to do it with friends, as she should at her age

2:44 am

sprite

oh I will certainly ask her to play and sing for you.

2:44 am

puglet

true

2:44 am

puglet

I hope you will at least join her in one or two songs

2:45 am

sprite

if she is willing to play some that we both know, I will

2:45 am

puglet

I get over there, I might not want to return-lol

2:47 am

puglet

have you went and spoke to your group yet again

2:48 am

sprite

aw sweetie :) We'd gladly keep you, lol.

2:48 am

sprite

errrr which group? The eating disorder group?

2:48 am

puglet

yes

2:50 am

sprite

I saw a couple of them 2 weeks ago, and am gonna spend Monday with one of them. We have another get-together with all of them somewhere in August, I believe.

2:51 am

puglet

I hadent realized how long it had really been since I have been away from the horse world until I talked to the friend yesterday :( Her kids were just little now they are 28 and twenty

2:51 am

sprite

fireflies. Cute grid. Too small though.

2:51 am

puglet

that will be nice for you and I know you enjoy doing that stuff

2:52 am

puglet

congrats!

2:52 am

sprite

Amazing, isn't it, pugs? And we just don't FEEL that old. Most of the time, anyway.

2:52 am

puglet

I know--LOL

2:53 am

puglet

you have a beautiful week end and hugs and love--and all the blessings you can hold :)

2:53 am

sprite

thanks my dear friend. Same to you. *hugs* and have faith. Things will work out.

2:54 am

puglet

bye friend :) have a grand day

last day was on tuesday and I already was given my final mark for law class;)

8:01 am

crosshair

and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!

8:02 am

crosshair

Spiral staircases in medieval castles are running clockwise. This is because all knights used to be right-handed. When the intruding army would climb the stairs they would not be able to use their right hand which was holding the sword because of the difficulties of climbing the stairs. Left-handed knights would have had no troubles, except left-handed people could never become knights because it was assumed that they were descendants of the devil.

8:02 am

Scrabbler

I got here just in time!

8:02 am

car.eeyore

Nice one!

8:02 am

car.eeyore

Hello Scrabs

8:03 am

Scrabbler

Thanks, Crossy. That makes me think of Casa Loma in Toronto, which I have visted a few times.

8:05 am

Scrabbler

So Car, what are the plans for your boys and family this summer?

8:06 am

car.eeyore

A little bit of scheduled activities, a little bit of down time....beach vacation at the end of August.

8:06 am

Scrabbler

And how is that cute pup, Archer?

8:06 am

car.eeyore

He's a good boy!!!!!

8:08 am

Scrabbler

Which beach?

8:08 am

car.eeyore

Its in Delaware...not sure of the name.

8:09 am

Scrabbler

Nice! I hope to go to the Adirondack Mtns in 16 days, to meet my youngest sister, but my mother comes home from rehab in 4 days so I hope all goes well with her at home again. It's scary for all of us.

8:09 am

car.eeyore

{{mom}} you have so much on your plate Scrabs. Do try to take that vaca for you!

8:10 am

MimiCat

Morning, everyone! Going to go look at the house in the mountains today that I want to buy. It has been a long time since I've been up on the Rim.

8:10 am

car.eeyore

Wonderful!

8:11 am

crosshair

crossyis deep into the novella he is writing:) Feels good. I had to put it on the back burner for school , but am now hitting my 1000 word a day target and hope for 40,000 words for a novella in a collection of stories i have planned. It may, however morph into an actual 80,000 word book. Time will tell:) it is good to write just for the sake of creation once again;)

8:11 am

crosshair

((mimi))

8:11 am

Scrabbler

I NEED to go and must balance guilt if I go but resentment if I don't. My mother, brother, and local sister should be able to manage. I live 45 minutes away and I work, so I cannot be there all of the time anyway.

8:11 am

car.eeyore

Absolutely

8:11 am

MimiCat

((car)) Good to see you! If I can get that house, I'll be getting a dog again...miss my dog.

8:11 am

Scrabbler

Wow, Crossy! Sci-fi? Fantasy?

8:11 am

Scrabbler

Mimi, how exciting!

8:11 am

car.eeyore

Excellent Crossy!

8:11 am

crosshair

I am in the midst of elder care issues as well scrabby:(

8:12 am

Scrabbler

It is stressful, isn't it, Crossy? And Car, you take care of your mom too.

8:13 am

MimiCat

((crossy)) Yes, just writing for writing's sake is a good idea. Wish my book was coming along more quickly but can't rush it.

8:13 am

car.eeyore

Yup

8:14 am

Scrabbler

My mother's major health issue is terrible arthritis in knees impairing her mobility.

8:14 am

MimiCat

It's near impossible for me to write after a day of working at the computer so I must do so in my free time and there isn't much of that these days.

8:14 am

crosshair

it is hard to slot into a particular genre, scrabby. if anything i would call it Suspense/ mystery fiction

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Work sure gets in the way of our desired endeavors!

8:15 am

MimiCat

She should live here in AZ, Scrabs...the dry heat is excellent for arthritis. I hardly ever notice mine but sure do when I change climate.

8:15 am

crosshair

it is scrabby. My da is bull headed and will self-destruct rather than listen to sound advice from those around him

8:16 am

car.eeyore

Fireworks!

8:16 am

MimiCat

Yay, car!

8:16 am

crosshair

his mobility is terrible and he does himself damage by haphazardly taking care of his diabetes

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Yay, Car!

8:16 am

crosshair

yaa for car!

8:16 am

car.eeyore

Off to take mom to her day program. Call me if we get a bigger grid! LOL!

8:16 am

crosshair

tc car and hagd!

8:17 am

car.eeyore

Take care everyone and have a great day {{group}}

8:17 am

Scrabbler

That is so common, Crossy, and why I had no interest in adult medicine.

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Bye, Car.

8:17 am

MimiCat

He really needs to take care of that, crossy, as you know. Diabetes is nothing to neglect.

8:18 am

crosshair

yes,mimi. his eyes and legs are already beginning to suffer because of it, but he is stubbon

8:19 am

crosshair

i told him that when he dies an early death, I am going to carve "IDIOT" nice and deep into his headstone so people will know about it for hundreds of years.

8:20 am

MimiCat

If his kidneys get damaged, he may need to go on dialysis. I was on it for a while when I nearly died 15 yrs. ago and I can tell you it's no picnic. And it's difficult to find places that offer dialysis.

8:21 am

hego

Hi All.

8:21 am

MimiCat

I always thought if I was buried I'd want my stone to read "I TOLD you I was sick!"

8:21 am

What's with the teeny weeny grids this week?

8:21 am

hego

lol Mimi

8:22 am

MimiCat

Hi, hego!

8:25 am

8:29 am

hego

Hi Scrabs!

8:30 am

Scrabbler

Hi Hego. Are you home now? You are always traveling somewhere. What is your next trip?

8:30 am

hego

I will go to Florence in Sept.

8:30 am

crosshair

8:30 am

crosshair

lol

8:30 am

hego

I am home now.

8:31 am

hego

Attached garage is a wonderful thing.

8:31 am

hego

This house is my first and I am loving it!

8:33 am

Scrabbler

My garage abuts my house but I must exit front door and then open a door into the garage. I had this garage built a few years after I bought the house 25 yrs ago. But I just got a new garage door AND--finally--an electric opener!

8:34 am

hego

My old house had a manual door. What a pain.

8:37 am

Scrabbler

Yes! BRB, must grab breakfast.

8:38 am

crosshair

Crossy still uses a manual can opener:).. at least I no longer have to open them with my hunting knife:)

8:39 am

hego

lol, I use a manual can opener too. The electric ones are always malfunctioning.

8:39 am

crosshair

yup. I just bought a real good manual opener. needs almost no effort at all to get the cans open

8:40 am

Scrabbler

I have a naula can opener--easy.

8:40 am

crosshair

thing cost me 10 dollars, but it was worth it

8:41 am

hego

I have a very good can opener. His name is Bill. lol

8:41 am

Scrabbler

8:41 am

Scrabbler

Don't work too hard, Crossy.

8:48 am

12:22 pm

Hi ruby. How's the weather where you are?

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

It is wonderful. Up to the 80's in the afternoon, cool at night. Loads of fruit this year.

12:23 pm

ChrissieDee

Daughter and hubby have crossed the channel today on a motorbike road trip round Europe

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

That sounds like a great adventure.

12:23 pm

ChrissieDee

That sounds lovely. It's dreary and damp here :(

12:24 pm

ChrissieDee

Yes, she's more adventurous than her mum!

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

When I was married the first time, we spent a year travelling around Europe while he did research and I took care of our 4 yr old. It was grand!

12:26 pm

ChrissieDee

I could go for that. It's just the motorbike bit that terrifies me.

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

Me, too. I rode on the back of a dirt bike once and vowed "Never more!"

12:27 pm

ChrissieDee

But then, you have led a colourful and adventurous life by the sound of it

12:27 pm

ChrissieDee

Still waiting for the book :)

4:50 pm

Soodle

Is it safe? Can I come in?

4:50 pm

rururocks

I think so.. you're from Ireland :D

4:51 pm

Soodle

Or maybe not! See my updated profile, Ru. Wink wink nudge nudge

4:52 pm

rururocks

cute.. around here .. one really never knows. :D

4:53 pm

Soodle

How's that ole car of yours going, Ru?

4:54 pm

rururocks

it's really fun.. I have been zipping around in it a lot.

4:54 pm

rururocks

It is SOOOOO me :D

4:55 pm

Soodle

I'm so utterly jealous of you that I'm finding it hard to think of something nice to say to you.

4:55 pm

rururocks

aw.. don't feel that way. I've earned it

4:56 pm

Soodle

Psshh. If that was the case, I'd be travelling in a Lear Jet!

4:57 pm

Soodle

'Reining in the green eyed monster'... I'm happy you are having fun Ru!

4:59 pm

rururocks

LOL.. I am.. after I'm divorced.. I think I'll try and fill the passenger seat too :D

5:00 pm

Way-Hay! Dylan, shove over!

It's quiet here tonight. Small grid = less chat.

5:05 pm

rururocks

yes. or people are not really here

5:05 pm

rururocks

I kinda took today off to do stuff around the house and thought I'd take a break from that.

5:07 pm

Soodle

Ugh. I hate taking time off to do housey stuff. You do it, then a couple of days later, it needs to be done again. Ugh

5:09 pm

Soodle

As I was going up the stair, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today... I wish that man would go away!

5:22 pm

rururocks

? I don't get that?

5:23 pm

rururocks

I better get rolling. Have to go shopping.. have a great weekend soodle.

5:25 pm

Soodle

Have a good one, Ru.

5:26 pm

jaxx7

Hi, Soodle

5:27 pm

MollyL

Soodle is just quoting poetry from the 1800's.
: D

5:27 pm

jaxx7

I have fireworks - does anyone want clues? some strange words today

5:27 pm

Soodle

Hello (((Jaxx)))

5:28 pm

Soodle

Vintage, Molls!

5:28 pm

jaxx7

hello, soodle and Molly.

5:28 pm

MollyL

Soodle, you and my mother would have gotten along famously. She loved obscure poetry like that.

5:29 pm

jaxx7

Molly, I know the oem but didn't know it was 19th century.

5:29 pm

jaxx7

poem even

5:30 pm

Soodle

:-) I love nonsense verse. Ogden Nash is one of my favourites.

5:30 pm

jaxx7

I remember reading it at school in the 1950s. Do you know who wrote it?

5:31 pm

jaxx7

Lewis carroll wrote some good ones too.

5:33 pm

jaxx7

That prolific poet anon wrote good stuff too.

5:33 pm

Soodle

Hughes Mearns, according to Google! And Jaxx, I love Lewis Carroll's stuff as well. The Walrus and the Carpenter, You are old, Father William.... great stuff!

5:33 pm

jaxx7

Did he write the Jabberwocky?

5:34 pm

Soodle

He did!

5:35 pm

jaxx7

We used to have an Eisteddfod every spring term at school. It was the subject of the 'Dance' House event.

5:36 pm

jaxx7

Twas Grillig and the Slithy Tove did gyre and gimbol in the mire

5:36 pm

Soodle

Ogden Nash's masterpiece is to this day:- Candy is Dandy, but Liquor is Quicker. 7 words - says it all!

5:38 pm

jaxx7

I have decided that I am uneducated where some things are concerned. I didn't know Nash wrote that.

5:42 pm

Soodle

Jaxx...me too. Thank goodness for Google!

5:43 pm

jaxx7

How do things go for your daughter who is a rep?

5:45 pm

Soodle

Well, week one is over now, and she is still gung_-ho!. It's a tough gig, but, seriously, that is why they are paying her big bucks! She is still very much in learning mode, but she is very very positive & up-beat, so, what else can a Mammy ask for?

5:46 pm

Babs1

clues for d words?

5:46 pm

jaxx7

Nothing, soodle. I am happy for her.

5:47 pm

jaxx7

and you

5:47 pm

Babs1

gane

5:47 pm

Soodle

The house is awful quiet without her, though. Sarah is a larger than life personality and I miss her like crazy.

5:47 pm

Babs1

oops

5:48 pm

Soodle

But... you know all about that, Jaxx. :-(

5:48 pm

jaxx7

That is probably why she will make an excellent sales person

5:48 pm

Soodle

Hey Babs :-)

5:48 pm

jaxx7

Hi, Babs.

5:50 pm

jaxx7

Yes, we do, but it wasn't for such a positive reason. I am past that now as my grandson more than makes up for it with his noise!

5:50 pm

Babs1

hey...just in from tidying garage...progress! with help of a new roommate..

5:51 pm

jaxx7

How would you like to come to England and clear our house out when you have finished, babs?

5:54 pm

jaxx7

We have acquired a baby seagull courtesy of Ashley. We told him to leave it where it was but he went and caught it anyway. The only place with a clear space for box and bird is the utility room.

5:55 pm

jaxx7

You could start there, babs

6:04 pm

Babs1

Clearing space to just get more organized and so I work better etc. Would be fun to help someone else clear though...want to clue the a and d words

6:04 pm

jaxx7

Nite all, I am off to my bed. look after yourselves.

6:06 pm

Dorens

My walls in my bedroom were decorated with posters I'd hu 4/8 of him.Thought Swayze was the hottest hu4/10. Just looking at his posters st4/4red up knots in my belly. I made up love songs about him that I su 4/7 to myself. Husband is being his ev 4/7 self and taking away the computer. Now that I have gi 5/20 my story of clues I am going to go watch the movie Deep Impa4/6.Bye!

10:22 pm

rururocks

That is true

10:25 pm

rururocks

We adopted an abused golden and he was tge greatest

10:26 pm

LeslieAnn

Hello stidmama!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.

10:54 pm

stidmama

so. how's by you, ruru?

10:54 pm

stidmama

hey min -- didn't see you there!

10:54 pm

stidmama

are you enjoying summer yet?

10:55 pm

Minveryork

I just came back. Took a break for an hour. How are you

10:55 pm

Minveryork

My last day of school is Mon.Start summer school on Tues

10:56 pm

stidmama

wow -- I guess that is because of snow days? such a long year for you!

10:57 pm

stidmama

I am well, Min -- tired, but starting to get a few things done around the house. SO happy to be home. I even managed to get the hoses to the veggie garden connected (about 250 feet from the house spigot) yesterday to water... and then of course it rained - a lot! - last night and today.

11:01 pm

stidmama

poor ruru disappeared... *looks for ruru in the game room*

11:02 pm

Minveryork

We could use some rain in MY. Been very dry, hot humid!

11:02 pm

rururocks

I am here

11:03 pm

stidmama

aha! has it rained any down your way ruru? My great-aunt in Pismo says it's still just as dry as anything down there.

11:04 pm

stidmama

I hope it will rain for you both -- but not the big stormy rain, the nice gentle rain that washes off the roads and polishes the trees.

11:05 pm

rururocks

No rain..it is hot here now

11:08 pm

rururocks

Drought in Calif this year

11:09 pm

stidmama

I was hoping the el nino would bring you rain -- we are going to be warmer and dryer than normal, and usually you start to get more rain when that happens. I am going to hope so, anyway.

11:10 pm

rururocks

I doubt it

11:11 pm

rururocks

El nerdo is more like it

11:15 pm

stidmama

sadly, true

11:15 pm

stidmama

well, I should go be sociable with my menfolk. Grant is here this evening instead of with girlfriend, so we should be conversing instead of online.

11:15 pm

Have a lovely weekend, all! *poof*
