stid (hugs) Keeping cool?
12:05 am
stidmama

pretty much -- we were in Ashland earlier this week. Home seems cool in comparison! :-)
12:06 am
stidmama

It is a little too warm for some of the recently transplanted strawberries, though -- Grant watered while we were gone, but wasn't able to give the daily attention I would have because he is working pretty hard.
12:06 am
stidmama

how about you?
12:09 am
saanichcat

all is well, my first summer of freedom since the big reno. Basement is so wonderfully cool. Andyour new place must being feeling like real home by now -
12:18 am
stidmama

nice! I am so happy you are able to enjoy it!
12:18 am
stidmama

Our home is still cluttered. Being sick for a couple weeks after the end of the school really slowed me down. But I have guests coming this next week and both Tom and Grant have committed to helping get things in better order.
12:20 am
stidmama

I have two interviews next Thursday, so have to spend a good bit of time prepping for those, too. Will be glad when NEXT weekend comes! LOL
12:25 am
stidmama

Just got some sad news about a friend. Heading out so I have energy tomorrow to do what I must. Be well, all. *poof*
12:25 am

*hugs pugs* Hello dear friend, how are you today?
2:50 am
puglet

love and hugs Sprite---okay and you?
2:52 am
sprite

I am fine :) Slept well and the rest has done me good. My cooking yesterday was taxing, but very rewarding.
2:53 am
puglet

thats good to hear----what did you cook
2:55 am
sprite

I make an ovendish with leek, mushrooms, eggs, goat cheese and pine seeds. And as a dessert a chocolate-y cook and cinnamon ice.
2:56 am
puglet

I have not heard of either dishes--sounds good--did the family enjoy it
2:57 am
sprite

yes, very much :) I looked up some recipes on the internet, they were new for me as well.
2:57 am
sprite

how was work?
2:58 am
puglet

we had those people quit that I told you about and that puts me as the only punch press operator there
2:59 am
sprite

ouch, that is taxing. So they left? I understood from your mail they'd be around until august.
3:01 am
puglet

they were suppose to be and train me for the shipping--so Iam going to have to do a quick lesson on the shipping part as well---My boss did pay me for the holiday, which he didnt have to
3:02 am
sprite

good for him. He really values you. As he should!
3:02 am
sprite

but not easy on having to learn everything quickly.
3:04 am
puglet

yeah I know----and its stressful to being the only one to run those presses to get out rush orders
3:04 am
puglet

I sure cant get sick or miss, thats for sure--lol
3:05 am
sprite

it sure is. Make sure you don't push yourself too far, pugs. You don't need a burnout on top of everything else. Please remember it is not YOUR problem, but your boss's. You can be part of the solution, but not the whole solution.

On DS, someone thats been there all the time I have posted that they didnt have enough to get all their meds--was short maybe thirty dollars to get them and I offer to help if they needed it and they said they wanted to report me---I am not getting what I did wrong
3:11 am
sprite

doesn't sound like you did anything wrong, if that is all that happened. Only... sweetie, don't go spend your money on everyone who has troubles.
3:13 am
puglet

thats all there was to it--but why post you need help and then do that? I dont get it---I know what it is not to have enough and I dont mind helping another person
3:13 am
sprite

did you ask for her address or bank account number maybe?
3:13 am
puglet

nope
3:14 am
sprite

well I would have to see the original words then, maybe I could see what triggered that response.
3:15 am
puglet

I will have to send it to you
3:15 am
sprite

I should be able to see it on DS. Can you copy the link and send it to me?
3:15 am
puglet

3:16 am
sprite

3:16 am
puglet

I will have to go back and get it for you--can I send it later
3:17 am
sprite

3:18 am

I understand her anxiety but am not allowing it to control me. My two Adirondack vacations every summer are SO important to me.

Scrabbs, You are allowing some guilt to enter but that is understandable. That is what mothers do. If your Dad was still with her this wouldnt be happening. I think I am right. I am sure you will not be away for very long and 2 phone calls a day will relieve her anxiety. I feel bad for both of you.

The great thing about it was that I could look up medical terms and they would automatically be there.

Since I'm on vacation next week, I'll be looking for options.

1:53 pm

It was some odd statement that JK Rowling made, there was nothing in any of the stories that specifically indicated it. Many think it was just a publicity stunt on Rowling's part.

5:14 pm
Soodle

Jaxx! You vanished last night with a cryptic comment about you having a bad day yesterday. Ihope all is ok with you, i searched for your email addy, but I seem to have deleted it.
5:19 pm
Soodle

General Note to all ladies 50+. Do not, I repeat DO NOT buy a magnifying mirror. I did. And I'm horrified.
5:20 pm
jaxx7

It looks as if my grandchildren may be taken into care. The social worker's manager has decided there is a child protection issue with Ashley. We had a meeting with the social worker yesterday and have another with his manager next week. Then a child protection meeting in the next couple of weeks. My daughter is distraught, I can't believe it. They have decided that we are neglecting him. They don't like our domestic arrangements as he has a bed in a room shared with me. We have been labelled as chaotic and neglectful of a child that has 100% attendance at school, is tall for his age, is not obese and is clearly thriving. It was a VERY bad day.
5:21 pm
Minveryork

Congratulations wvteach on your fireworks! Good for U!
5:21 pm
Minveryork

Hello Soodle!How are you doing today? Welcome to chog.
5:22 pm
Soodle

Oh no, Jaxx. How awful.
5:23 pm
Soodle

No wonder yesterday was gruesome.
5:24 pm
Minveryork

Jaxx7,I am sorry to hear about your grandchildren! I wish that the system would work the right way! I see so many kids at work that really should be taken into care and they are not!Looks like you are taking very good care of your kids! How did system get involved?
5:24 pm
Soodle

Sorry, Min. (((Hugs))). Thanks for your welcome. :-)
5:25 pm
Soodle

Jaxx, can you do anything about this?
5:26 pm
jaxx7

The council has been hauled over the coals by the Inspectors over their child protection record and now they are paranoid. The school has reported that Ashley has been sent to school with dirty underwear and smelly socks and on one day with no packed meal. This has prompted the council to track back 9 years when my grandson was just born and my daughter had alcohol problems and decided that she is now doing the same.
5:30 pm
Minveryork

Not fair jaxx7! I wish you all the luck with your meetings
5:32 pm
Soodle

Sheesh. Jaxx, are you 100% happy that Ashley & siblings are well taken care of?
5:32 pm
jaxx7

Julie is sure that they will take him away and wants to run away with him. that will not help but I fear she may well be right. Ashley craves attention and knows what will get it for him. No packed meal means he gets a school dinner. Throwing a wobbly gets him another room with 1 to 1 attention with a teacher. It is not a protection issue but a behaviour issue. The school is full of young women masquerading as teachers. They are not much older than Jess, my granddaughter, and in the last twelve months they hav changed classes and teachers for Ashley's class three times. He lacks stability there and that doesn't help. I just don't know what to do next.
5:36 pm
Soodle

How old is Ashley?
5:38 pm
jaxx7

Julie has had her problems and there have been times when she has not been the best of mothers. That is why we have Ashley for 5 days a week and had Jess when she was small as well. In fact, Jess has told us that we brought them both up and she loves us for it. The family is one of siblings and half siblings from two different mothers and two different fathers so perm any one from three as it were. The other half sibling was living with his mother until her new boyfriend punished him, a vegetarian, for something he said he'd done bu pushing his face into a joint of beef. he has moved into the house and won't go home. It is a right royal mess. I despair
5:39 pm
jaxx7

Ashley is now 9 - on Independence day.
5:42 pm
Soodle

What a mess, Jaxx.
5:43 pm
jaxx7

Indeed. A sordid one too. Modern families!
5:44 pm
jaxx7

I find I can't cope with officialdom. Especially when they have such powers these days.
5:44 pm
Soodle

But, with a bit of stability from their Grands, they have every hope of turning out the finest.
5:44 pm
crosshair

howdy jaxx!. I am sorry for your current issues with family services. i also had dealings with our version of them when my son was younger.. Oh how I long for the days when the teacher used to just teach and not try to raise our kids! ( not saying all are like that, but jaxx tale is way too familliar)
5:45 pm
jaxx7

They don't think our home is a suitable place for them, that's the problem
5:45 pm
crosshair

heck we had a place when we are all kids of a set of bunk beds and a single bed all in one room!
5:46 pm
jaxx7

yes, crossy, but the rules are different now, unfortunately
5:46 pm
Soodle

Sigh. When burocracy kicks in, you may
5:47 pm

Leave logic & common sense at the door
5:47 pm

Hey Crossy :-)

5:49 pm
jaxx7

Our house is a mess. We started renovating, if you remember, and then Nigel damaged his knee and everything came to a halt. We still have boxes in every available corner. It is clean though but we only have one bedroom free for Ashley and I to sleep in. Nigel sleeps downstairs on a recliner beacause that way he can get comfy and sleep better. Wait until they realise that!
5:50 pm
Soodle

Jaxx, if your Fairy Godmother appeared before you right now, what woukd you wish for?
5:50 pm
crosshair

My first excerpt of my novel is now available on Authonomy.com for those who care to read it. It is part one of three in total and has a working title of "Longfellow" I hope you enjoy it and feel free to leave me feedback and suggestions.
5:50 pm
jaxx7

It all to sort itself out without the kids losing out
5:51 pm
Soodle

Wow! WTG Crossy!
5:51 pm
jaxx7

My intuition tells me we are in for a struggle.
5:52 pm
jaxx7

I will certainly have a read, crossy. Is that Longfellow the poet?
5:59 pm
jaxx7

Anyway, folks, I have a busy day tomorrow trying to fit a quart into a pint pot and make the bedroom look twice as big as it is. I am off to my bed and a read of a nice escapist murder story. It might give me an idea of how to deal with social services. Night all
6:00 pm
Minveryork

Goodbye jaxx7! I will see you tomorrow in the log maybe

Just saw an article about triple 0 jeans...so, does that mean they are now making jeans for people who don't even exist?
7:13 pm
MimiCat

...and how do they make money from that...
7:14 pm
aslindy

I heard about that... can't imagine that size
7:15 pm
MimiCat

The fashion industry is ridiculous. I don't even understand the obsession with "fashion" now. Does no one have a REAL life?!!
7:16 pm

Just for the record, a size triple zero fits a 23 inch waist.
7:17 pm

7:17 pm

Hello MimiCat! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog.
7:18 pm
MollyL

To get the full impact of how tiny that is you really need to get a tape measure out and look at 23 inches in diameter.
7:21 pm

gosh I'd be afraid I'd break her
7:23 pm
MimiCat

My new computer monitor is 23"...oh, my. Are we now catering to anorexics?
7:24 pm
MimiCat

In my experience (which, trust me, is vast), men do NOT like really skinny women!
7:24 pm
MimiCat

Hi, Min!
7:25 pm
MimiCat

Nothing to "hold on to."
7:28 pm
MimiCat

Agree, ruru?
7:30 pm
Dorens

Haha! I remember having a 20 inch waistline, 23 would have been lovely. And I wasn't anorexic
7:30 pm
MimiCat

Hello...did I just kill the chog?
7:31 pm
MimiCat

No kidding, Dorens...20 inches...wow. But you weren't trying to be that small, right?
7:32 pm
Dorens

Nope, would have loved 23. I ate and ate and ate, just couldn't gain weight.
7:32 pm
MimiCat

I've never had a weight issue and wore regular clothes home after all three babies were born, but was never that tiny.
7:32 pm
MimiCat

Oh, how I envy and hate you! (Kidding)
7:32 pm
Minveryork

Hello Dorens! How are you doingtoday? Welcome to grid!

just my metabolism when I was young. IT certainly has changed!! Hi min ... Min can tell you I am certainly over 23 inches in waist now, lol!
7:33 pm
MimiCat

Yeah...gravity is not the friend of older women.
7:34 pm
MimiCat

I'm not overweight now....I'm just too SHORT.
7:34 pm
Dorens

oh gravity is not my trouble... in fact my grandaughter commented last week on the fact that older womens' "boobies" usually kind of droop, but mine don't.

That is hilarious! This was on June 9th, and I've tried every which way to send this from my phone to her (she's in black, in the back)-- email, msg, FB, chat, Picassa, Drop box, shutter fly, etc. and nothing worked. Yesterday I went over to her house so we could transfer the videos, and even that didn't work. But *something* posted it to my FB now!

just tired a lot, TO. I rarely stay awake to play lately.
9:57 pm
72 Temple Owl

oh, i ope you are taking care of yourself.
9:59 pm
Nef

Part of that is due to trying to keep up with my 5 yr. old grandson all the time; the other part is I'm anemic for some reason (& we're trying to find out why)
10:00 pm
72 Temple Owl

the babysitting will do it; but the other is worrisome.
10:00 pm
Nef

That's why we're working on it. The good news is it isn't GI bleeding. :-)

Tom and I just got home from Ashland a couple days ago.

10:15 pm

iron pills make me puke - a no-go, sadly I try to eat iron-rich foods when I can.
10:15 pm

That sounds neat, mcurl!
