its OK. darn red boxes. Usually they delete my comments but this time they multiplied yours!
1:09 am

I have problems on both firedox and safari. I don't think it is our problem - site wneeds a tweak
1:10 am
flosey

the other night a word was accepted but in both the tile and word stats it showed missing
1:11 am

I definitely think site needs some tweaks. I have problems on chome and on IE, too.

1:42 am
rururocks

Dunno....is it?
1:44 am
grannyrose

not the last time i looked, ruru....i actually finished about a minute after you. it is one sweet grid except for all those words finishing with ana. very disconcerting.
1:47 am
rururocks

I had trouble with the ab words
1:47 am
rururocks

What about when you tell a fib granny ...does the schnozz grow then?
1:49 am
grannyrose

fortunately no, ruru....but i blush something dreadful. i have to be truthful at all times otherwise my body gives the game away. it's an unfortunate thing, as i cannot even tell a 'white' lie to protect another's feeling's.
1:51 am
rururocks

Bet you suck at poker :D
1:52 am
grannyrose

lolol...how did you guess? and othello...don can tell which move i am about to make, just by watching my face...think i'll wear my harlequin mask next time i play the game with him. * sigh *
1:53 am
grannyrose

and forget playing chess, he is always about 6 moves ahead of me...he is one clever man.
1:54 am
rururocks

I used to be a good chess player
1:54 am
saanichcat

that is actually a good idea - the mask. see if your playing improves, nice experiment
1:55 am
flosey

falling asleep, off to bed, goodnight all
1:55 am
saanichcat

not that would also give you a huge advantage if you wore a creepy mask
1:55 am
rururocks

I haven't played in years though
1:56 am
grannyrose

* giggle * saanichcat....can you picture it.....don, with full beard and moustache, and me, my gorgeous mask complete with feathers, hovering over a chess board.
1:56 am
saanichcat

2:01 am
grannyrose

okay, all you clever people out there in babble land. please explain this new discomfort i am experiencing.
2:02 am
rururocks

What is that granny
2:02 am
grannyrose

i have had lo\wer back muscles spasming for 2 days. that has settled. now, although the skin is still numb, i have sharp, needle-like stinging just below my knee on the outer aspect.
2:03 am
VolleymomDee

torn meniscus?
2:03 am
grannyrose

the stinging is not continuous. it comes at irregular intervals. and it is really sharp.
2:04 am
grannyrose

oh, great! from falling the other night, maybe?
2:04 am
saanichcat

sounds like a nerve issue
2:04 am
rururocks

That is from nerves near a bulging disc
2:04 am
VolleymomDee

sure could be... sounds like my hubby's first knee injury - his repair was a breeze
2:04 am
VolleymomDee

sure could be... sounds like my hubby's first knee injury - his repair was a breeze
2:05 am
rururocks

Is there a burning sensation too gr?
2:06 am
rururocks

Sounds like sciatica (sp?)
2:06 am
saanichcat

whatever it is please get it checked out - those things can get worse and sometimes an easy fix
2:06 am
grannyrose

no, ruru. just this sharp stinging below the skin. and as i said the skin is still quite numb.
2:06 am
Dachef

2:07 am
grannyrose

ROFLOLOL...dachef
2:07 am
VolleymomDee

have to be careful with physio, if it is a torn meniscus, you don't want to tear it further
2:08 am
grannyrose

*snort* dee....i am so over this *b* knee.
2:08 am
rururocks

With artificial knees there isn't a meniscus
2:09 am
saanichcat

agreed dee, and rose can you get an ealier appt?
2:10 am
grannyrose

physio=hydro. won't do any exercises until i talk to the physio. deep water therapy may help...she noticed knee was darker than usual, and slightly more swollen.
2:10 am
grannyrose

and ruru...i still have my original knee-cap. so there could be some bursitis.
2:13 am
VolleymomDee

so sorry for all of these hurdles, rose...know you are sick of them
2:14 am
grannyrose

and you all must be tired of hearing about them. anytime you want me to shut up, just say so. no offense will be taken.
2:16 am
VolleymomDee

I think I speak for everyone; we are never tired of hearing your updates. We care about your progress and about you.

dutch for pineapple is in the grid: ananas. Not valid though.
3:03 am
grannyrose

xoxox chrissie
3:04 am
grannyrose

sprite, ananas is the generic term in english, so not valid as it starts with an upper case letter
3:05 am
sprite

ah lol, cool. They took that from the dutch then.
3:05 am
grannyrose

lolol, so not going there, sprite.
3:06 am

3:25 am
sprite

no idea, never happened to me, lol
3:26 am
grannyrose

chrissie, the adrenaline rush is amazing...and you can see so much more from the back of a bike, than in a car.
3:27 am
grannyrose

besides a goldwing is like sitting in an armchair.
3:29 am
grannyrose

now if you were on the back of a moto guzzi california...you would understand what i feel.
3:30 am
sprite

start with the armchair, chrissie, lol
3:30 am

Trifioso

I am having some visitors from Perth in a couple of weeks - so excited!!!
5:22 am
grannyrose

i am so good...all pain has subsided...sooo good.
5:22 am
grannyrose

whoot, trif. family or friends?
5:23 am
Trifioso

hmmm. used to be family, now friends? it's my ex brother and sister in law, and their daughter, who I guess is still my niece
5:24 am
Trifioso

My ex husband lives 20 minutes away. the fact that HIS brother is flying half way around the world and staying with ME should tell you quite a lot.
5:24 am
grannyrose

*giggle* trif. lovely. my ex's family are so obnoxious...wouldn't want them as friends. i envy you.
5:25 am
Trifioso

my oldest daughter did a semester in Australia when she was a sophomore and lived with them. I am DELIGHTED to host them here in an even small repayment for all they did for her
5:25 am
grannyrose

yeah, trif. in my case, my ex died 2 years ago of brain cancer. it devastated our boys..
5:26 am
Trifioso

oh, I am sorry to hear that news, for your boys' sake
5:27 am
grannyrose

trif...you must be delighted that your daughter can be so comfortable in their company.
5:27 am
Trifioso

they are lovely people, particularly my sister in law
5:29 am
Trifioso

they are on their way to France for a summer holiday with the other brother and his family, and routed the trip this way to stop in for a week. now - how to decide what to do?
5:29 am
Trifioso

I mean, sight seeing wise
5:29 am
grannyrose

yeah...i try so hard to not let my ex influence my judgement on his family. i stand well back when my son's make their decisions re their father's family.
5:29 am
Trifioso

I am very, very lucky in that regard, they have been completely supportive of me.
5:30 am
grannyrose

trif...what have they seen already? and what do you think will give them the most pleasure?
5:31 am
Trifioso

I figure I will get in lots of brochures, info about local sites, etc...and then let them choose. One day is taken up with a big party we are throwing for my daughter's recent graduation. She is SO EXCITED to have them here for it.
5:32 am
Trifioso

and I suppose at least one day will be dedicated to jet lag recovery for their girl, who is ten. Can't just pour coffee down her!
5:32 am
grannyrose

yes, you are so fortunate, trif. my ex's family completely abandoned me after 17 years of marriage. AND they knew/witnessed what their son was capable of doing.
5:33 am
Trifioso

in this case, they have pretty much abandoned him. which I suspect is EXACTLY what his husband wants - cast off any attachment to his old life, so that the new one dominates
5:33 am
grannyrose

* giggle * yes, you do have to let them all recover.
5:35 am
grannyrose

oh, trif. my heart goes out to you, darling. my husband's wife left him for another woman. it is too sad.
5:35 am
Trifioso

my niece is SO CUTE. I don't know what it is about little kids with accents, but they just knock me out

((crossy)) you're kind of in the grid today! Though I agree one must speak to the masses when writing, I still think it's awful we must constantly "dumb it down" in both written and spoken language all the time now. No one seems to care about being literate or articulate anymore. :(
8:19 am
crosshair

you are correct, Mimi, but it must be done. people just give up on your story if you make them run to a dictionary every 5 minutes.
8:20 am
MimiCat

I do understand. It just aggravates me that every time I read ANYTHING now, no matter what it is, there is always either a typo or incorrect grammar.
8:21 am
crosshair

When i edit, I go though and simplify complex portions and remove any weak or passive portions to aid in ease of readability
8:21 am
MimiCat

I've always believed a culture's use of language says a lot about that culture...what is this now saying about us?
8:21 am

....that we have become lazy and indifferent.

Dean Koontz has book out now that is such a pleasure to read called "Innocence." His use of language is nothing short of melodic and I can't remember the last time I read something so beautifully written.
8:27 am

I used to think of Koontz as 'Stephen King lite" a book to eat up while on a bus or a road trip , something that can be breezed through with little effort. However, I have grown to enjoy his style of writing and have several of his books in my bkkcase.

He certainly is prolific. He comes out with at least two books a year spanning decades
8:32 am

I'm certainly doing that with my book since I'm writing about my life experience. It's daunting, though, writing about the really painful times. Important to do so, though, since pain is at least as relevant to who we become as happiness and success.

I will now read more of his work. Which ones do you especially recommend, bichon and crossy?
8:33 am
crosshair

He does what other authors do and "bank" books. In a good year, they may write 5-10 books, but the contract may only demand two books a year, so the good writers will store them like nuts and compensate for off-years.
8:33 am

let me check my bookcase, mimi. one sec...
8:34 am

I have one by him waiting for me called From The corner of His Eye.

How wonderful to be so prolific with writing. I'm a good writer but cannot seem to be disciplined enough to produce.

an 7 clue please?
8:36 am
Uneaixoise

definitely read Intensity . . . O M G . . . both print and audiobook . . . one of the best books of suspense I have EVER read . . .
8:37 am
MimiCat

Thanks, Une...appreciate the suggestion. Will put it at the top of my list.
8:37 am
crosshair

With this novel I am writing now, mimi, I find the key is to do some each and every day. A writing mind is very much like a muscle, and must be trained and used every single day. Even if it is only 50 or 100 words, as long as you get something down each and every day.
8:39 am
crosshair

It is like grains of sand on a beach; one at a time they are nothing, but before you know it they combine and you have something resembling a novel
8:39 am
MimiCat

I've always been very weird about writing, crossy, and still wake up in the middle of the night and must write down thoughts/ideas. They actually make sense the next day, too!
8:39 am
angelinaxox

Not sure if there is more than one but the one I have is an + two letter ** the extra terrestrial + dig a ***e in the ground
8:39 am
crosshair

for example, at my current pace of 500-1000 words a day my book will be done in rough draft by christmass
8:40 am
MLFAN17

i had a poem/story in my head not long ago and never wrote it down.. cant remember any of it to save my life unfortunately
8:40 am
Uneaixoise

yes, angel, there are 2 an8's
8:40 am
MimiCat

I'm hoping to get a lot of writing done during my upcoming break. I need to get this book written as so many have expressed an interest in reading it. I think of it as my legacy so future generations of my family will really know who I was.
8:41 am
angelinaxox

That was for an 7. I have two an8s thanks.
8:41 am

Abbreviation for extra terrestrial
8:42 am
MimiCat

Oh, no, ML...how frustrating. That's why I keep a tablet with me at all times so I can jot down ideas as they happen. Pulling then together later can be a challenge, however!
8:42 am

8:42 am
crosshair

It is funny, Mimi, once you get into it, you novel becomes a place of welcome and salvation from the trials of day-to-day life. You are god within those pages and have full control..for the most part. Tales do take on a life of their own however, and even i do not know when it will end, just that when it is fined, then it will be done.
8:42 am
MLFAN17

mimi and sometimes i just dont know when to stop lol

I have found it is much easier for me to write fiction than this autobiography. Obviously don't have the same kind of "license" when writing about real events and people.
8:45 am
crosshair

Yes, fiction is much easier
8:45 am
MimiCat

I wrote a segment recently that had tears rolling down my cheeks and filled me with so much remembrance that it was painful all over again. Difficult but necessary to write about it, though.
8:45 am
crosshair

there is less structure involved and you are not restrained. I do keep a concordance hoever, as i must keep the timeline of things in order.
8:46 am
crosshair

however*
8:47 am

There are too many cases of otherwise talented authors using a song in their books what was not written in real like until decades after the timeline in the story lol
8:48 am
crosshair

that* life**
8:49 am
MimiCat

The painful experiences of my life will be the most valuable for others to read because I can show that it is possible to overcome extreme pain and hardship and illustrate how I was able to do so. Aloy convinced me this was something I should do and spurred me on. I was feeling weird about writing about myself...seemed a bit egotistical and indulgent until she explained the benefits to me.
8:52 am
crosshair

It is a rare person who will put forward the rough times in their life as a lesson for the rest of us to help overcome the trials in our own lives. It is well we have people like you, mimi, who are willing to share their experiences to help others.
8:53 am
MimiCat

Thank you so much, crossy...it means so much to me that you feel that way.
8:54 am

Once it is finished, my life will truly be an open book!

He is a very sensitive one too, so it was better that I not go to drop him off.

car. you will turn around and he will be coming home. my older grandson loved camp (now a CIT) and my younger grandson hated it. So who knows?

I don't think American can speak with a British accent

Bich, my very favorite 24 scene is in the last season. Where Jack goes into the underpass, all dressed in a flak suit and a black helmet and mask and Charles Logan looks like he's about to mess himself.
4:49 pm
bichon

I don't remember much from the last season. I'll have to look it up. It was Season 8, right?
4:50 pm
MollyL

I don't think too many American actors play parts in British shows, but a lot of British actors (Hugh Laurie) play American characters.
4:50 pm
MollyL

Yes, Season 8...aka...Jack Gets Revenge
4:50 pm

Charles Logan was the best thing about the later "24" seasons

Yeah. Good enough here. My work colleague just phoned me to inform me he won €4,120 on the lottery. I almost strangled myself trying to be enthusiastic for him. In fact, I am jealous in the extreme.
5:55 pm
jaxx7

Your lottery win will be bigger, soodle. Just be patient
5:57 pm
Soodle

€4,120 would fill a gap right now, Jaxx. And this guy is 43. Still lives at home with his parents!!!! The injustice of it!
5:59 pm

We won £2750 on the Eurolottery just as we would have been broke. Someone looked after us and will look after you too.
