hi hi hi, just got here...

1:32 am

grannyrose

helloooo rbud

1:34 am

rbud

what's new with you? nothing much going on here, just moldering away as always, lol

1:37 am

rbud

ahhh, we're in the grid, yay, us... :D

1:37 am

grannyrose

diito. had a phone call today to tell me my claim for disability support pension has been granted.

1:38 am

rbud

oh, that's a relief! at least it was here for hubs, whew! long process.

1:39 am

grannyrose

not going to get too much in the way of cash until i use up some of my assets. but i will have the pension card which now gives me access to all sorts of discounts.

1:41 am

rbud

so does this mean you're retiring? or is it something that fills in during convalescence and you'll try to return to work?

1:42 am

grannyrose

i am now officially retired. the disability pension flips over to the aged pension in 2 1/2 years.

1:42 am

rbud

haha, not used to the K being so easy - tried a bunch of silly monkeying...

1:43 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

1:44 am

Lizlin

Congrats on the disability pension coming through! Yay!

1:44 am

grannyrose

g'day liz girl. how was your walk this morning?

1:44 am

Lizlin

Sunny and lovely!

1:44 am

Lizlin

Just back from the gym now.

1:45 am

Lizlin

So a day full of exercise! So unlike the real me!!!!

1:45 am

grannyrose

liz, did you see my post at 1:37?

1:46 am

Lizlin

Yes, just as I came back to the computer - that's why i said congrats!!!

1:46 am

grannyrose

ugh...sorry i missed that. thanx * huge grin *

1:47 am

ChrissieDee

Rose, so glad something has gone your way at last

1:47 am

Lizlin

nm! You saw it in the end.

1:47 am

grannyrose

thanx chrissie. yeah finally, hey!

1:47 am

Lizlin

Hi Chrissie - don't think I've said congrats on your beautiful granddaughter :)

1:47 am

ChrissieDee

Thanks Liz :)

1:48 am

Lizlin

Did your hip pain finally settle?

1:48 am

Lizlin

that was to ro4, of course!

1:48 am

grannyrose

yes it did, thanx.

1:48 am

Lizlin

Good - so how was your day after that?

1:49 am

Lizlin

How on earth can you plural en 6/18? It's either the complete thing or it isn't!!!

1:49 am

grannyrose

i took it quietly. don dashed out and did most of the shopping.

1:50 am

grannyrose

we hit over 30 in our little valley today.

1:50 am

Lizlin

Good for Don and I'm sure that was good for you too. Mine's out picking up a few bits of fruit now before we get ready for the sabbath!

1:50 am

Lizlin

Phew! Also hit 30 today here.

1:50 am

Lizlin

But walking with feet in the sea compensated for the heat!'

1:51 am

grannyrose

it's got too hot too quickly here, and we are still getting quite cold nights. crazy weather.

1:52 am

Lizlin

Same here, though our nights not as cold as yours but I prefer the nights cooler, so not complaining.

1:52 am

Lizlin

When are you off to Lakes Entrance?

1:52 am

grannyrose

the 23rd november

1:53 am

Lizlin

Bet you're looking forward to that.

1:53 am

grannyrose

very much so, liz.

1:53 am

Lizlin

How far is the drive from you?

1:54 am

grannyrose

don is checking.

1:55 am

Lizlin

don't let him go to any trouble - just curious.

1:57 am

grannyrose

it's no trouble, he is sitting in front of the laptop anyway

1:57 am

Lizlin

:)

1:57 am

Lizlin

Are the h words obvious?

1:58 am

grannyrose

only one, the hu6, the others are hy words

1:58 am

Lizlin

thanks

1:58 am

grannyrose

okay, marlo is nearly 4 1/2 hours of non-stop driving.

1:59 am

grannyrose

that's the furtherest away, then we come back towards melbourne via orbost, and then lakes.

1:59 am

Lizlin

Will you take it slowly - is it a pretty route or will you just head straight there or is it just too early to think of such stuff!!!

2:01 am

grannyrose

we usually do take it slowly. we will probably have a couple of stops along the way. and yes, all through that part of victoria is pretty.

2:01 am

Lizlin

I know that we talk about one day driving the coast route from Melbourne to home or the other way!

2:02 am

Lizlin

So is this an area you both know well?

2:02 am

grannyrose

as we travel, we have the rule...if either of us sees something interesting we stop and have a good look.

2:02 am

Lizlin

Great rule. I'm sure we'll do similar in NZ.

2:02 am

grannyrose

we know it quite well. still exploring.

2:03 am

Lizlin

There's always more to explore.

2:03 am

Lizlin

Hope you'll take loads of pics.

2:04 am

grannyrose

don usually does. i usually get the ones of him emerging from the public loo everytime we stop....lolol

2:04 am

Lizlin

lolol!!!!

2:04 am

Lizlin

Album of loos through Aus!

2:05 am

Lizlin

Time for me to go and get ready - will probably be back later. Hugs

2:05 am

grannyrose

2:54 am

grannyrose

not too bad, thanx hun. approval for my pension is through.

2:55 am

Norma

Mari are you there

2:55 am

grannyrose

did you sleep well last night? and how was yesterday?

2:55 am

sprite

ah that is good news, rose

2:56 am

sprite

I slept okayish. Yesterday was painful but otherwise ok. Kept a very low profile. Today is my turn to shop and cook. I need a very very quick, easy and yummy recipe.

2:57 am

sprite

impossible son made a turnaround and apologised, and even cleaned out his room.

2:59 am

grannyrose

well done boyo. he is starting to grow up, at last.

2:59 am

sprite

yes he is. falls back into bad behaviour when under stress. Which is normal, I think.

3:00 am

grannyrose

it's all about learning self-control, dear. it's a hard lesson to learn.

3:01 am

sprite

indeed. Well, he is learning. And where else to practise than at home?

3:03 am

sprite

you must feel better with the official approval for the pension in your pocket, I think? One part of insecurity gone now?

3:03 am

Dianne

Hi all

3:03 am

sprite

hello Dianne :)

3:04 am

grannyrose

indeed sprite. and g'day dianne

3:09 am

sprite

how are you today, Dianne?

3:12 am

grannyrose

whew, back. getting stuff ready for dinner. also needed to top up my drink.

3:12 am

sprite

wb rose

3:17 am

grannyrose

wow!! another medical break-through. doctors over here have developed a transport system for donor hearts which keeps the heart beating until it can be transplanted into the recipient.

3:17 am

sprite

wow

3:18 am

grannyrose

it means heart can be harvested from the other side of the country, and flown to the recipient's town.

3:20 am

sprite

fireflies

3:21 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!! nice grid wasn't it?

3:21 am

sprite

Very. Relaxing and lots of good words. Funny with that consonant maze in the middle. *hugs* and sleep well, rose.

3:22 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} darling. hope your day is good to you, sweetie.

3:25 am

Dianne

Sprite, just send you a yummy, easy recipe.

3:56 am

rubyfoo

I thik I'm alone in here

4:00 am

grannyrose

sorry ruby. {{hugs}} stuffing my face with food, glorious food.

4:02 am

rubyfoo

lucky you. So far, a frazzling morning. I think Burt is having trouble understanding what he reads as I leave specific WRITTEN instructions for him each AM: what to eat, what to do, until I get up. He doesn't seem to understand

4:02 am

rubyfoo

What are you eating? Maybe it will give me some ideas

4:02 am

grannyrose

penne pasta carbonara, and pizza, bbq chicken.

4:03 am

rubyfoo

I love carbonara! I used to make it for my beloved Ruby (she and I would share). It was her last dinner the night before she died

4:04 am

grannyrose

i bet your carbonara is delicious. do you use cream, in your sauce?

4:05 am

rubyfoo

I add an egg at the end instead of cream, so it's more crisphy than saucy

4:06 am

grannyrose

interesting. you will have to make it for us when we come over....lol

4:06 am

rubyfoo

it's embarrassingly simple, not usually "company fare"

4:07 am

grannyrose

it is for me....

4:07 am

rubyfoo

I will make you anything your little hearts desire, including my "world-famous " gazpacho

4:08 am

grannyrose

ooohhhh, that too...for breakfast...

4:09 am

rubyfoo

hahah

4:17 am

rubyfoo

fast half but nothing big and no nbt

4:17 am

rubyfoo

but at least I'm sitting down and not yelling!

4:17 am

grannyrose

nice ruby. well done you.

4:25 am

rubyfoo

105 and now I have to see to old Burt....aaarghhh

4:25 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} ruby...xxxxx

4:29 am

rubyfoo

{{ro**}} you help me calm down when it's like this

4:29 am

rubyfoo

I really appreciate it!

4:30 am

there! I always do badly with yiddish:(

6:52 am

crosshair

just found the ye 5 and 6 combo

6:52 am

Trifioso

I need some eye bleach....we went out dancing last night, and some CLUELESS woman was there in an unbelievable outfit - beige leggings that exactly matched her skin tone, skin tight. With the lights in the ballroom she looked completely nude from the waist down. It was not a good look for her. At all.

6:53 am

Trifioso

WHY oh WHY do females think leggings are pants????

6:53 am

crosshair

that that usually wear such things should not while those that can don't

6:53 am

crosshair

those that*

6:54 am

crosshair

I usually say " oh! goodie!, a place to park my bike!"

6:54 am

Trifioso

Remember the LOVELY Esquire cover from long ago, with Angie Dickinson, and just a sweater? Imagine that, but horrible.

6:54 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

6:55 am

crosshair

howdy, Liz

6:55 am

Lizlin

Those leggings sound horrible!

6:55 am

Trifioso

Sadly, in this case you could have said that, and also "oh, so that's wear my camel has been walking"

6:55 am

Trifioso

hello lizlin!

6:56 am

6:56 am

bichon

good morning babblebuddies

6:56 am

Lizlin

Hi bichon

6:56 am

crosshair

howdy, bichon

6:56 am

Trifioso

good morning bichon

6:56 am

bichon

hi Liz, any more humbacks?

6:56 am

bichon

hi Trif

6:57 am

Trifioso

the bell is going to ring in a minute, so I will say my fond good byes now. Love to all!

6:57 am

Lizlin

Have a good day, Trif.

6:58 am

Lizlin

Yes, Bichon. We went out yesterday - saw a couple just swimming along but it's pretty much the end of the season for us now, so we won't go out again until next June.

6:58 am

bichon

darn, must be difficult to see them go

6:59 am

Lizlin

Strange we were saying how strange it was that we weren't going out again this year, as we beach walked today. Still kept looking out to the horizon, hoping for a breach!

6:59 am

Lizlin

Sorry about the double strange there!

7:00 am

bichon

They stay in the Antarctic for the summer?

7:01 am

Lizlin

Yes and that's when they eat! There's loads of krill down there. When they migrate they are opportunistic feeders but mostly starve for 6 months :(

7:02 am

bichon

Don't think I'd do well as a humpback

7:02 am

Lizlin

Me neither. Learnt yesterday that the milk that the calves drink, is pink!

7:02 am

Lizlin

Strawberry flavour, perhaps! LOL

7:02 am

bichon

Too cool.

7:03 am

crosshair

mm whale cheese:)

7:03 am

bichon

Probably from the krill diet, like flamingos

7:03 am

Lizlin

Guess that could be the reason.

7:03 am

MollyL

Those six months are the reason those whales have all those fat reserves.

7:03 am

bichon

blubber

7:04 am

Lizlin

That's right - you can see the spine more clearly on their return journey.

7:04 am

crosshair

NBT for Crossy:)

7:04 am

MollyL

Yes Bich, but in these days of political correctness (blech) I'm sure we are not allowed to say blubber

7:04 am

Lizlin

One of the humpbacks yesterday had lost its dorsal fin (careless, I know). Sadly lots of the whales are injured by boat propellors.

7:05 am

bichon

Can it live without it?

7:05 am

Lizlin

Think in the context of whales, you can still say blubber!

7:05 am

Lizlin

Well, i do anyway.

7:05 am

Lizlin

Yes it was swimming happily!

7:06 am

Lizlin

There's one whale known as blade runner because of the distinctive scar it got from an injury from a propellor in Sydney harbour.

7:06 am

Lizlin

The council is still debating building a cruise terminal here - we're very anti that idea because of the damage to the environment and the whales.

7:06 am

rubyfoo

BLUBBR IS SOMEBODY WHO CRIES A LOT, N'EST-CE PAS?

7:07 am

rubyfoo

sorry, didn't mean to shout

7:07 am

Lizlin

Yes Ruby and hi and hugs :)

7:07 am

rubyfoo

<--doesn't get the us....

7:07 am

bichon

yes, another meaning of blubber ruby. Hi

7:07 am

MollyL

Humans and their contraptions can really mess things up for some of nature's most beautiful things

7:08 am

rubyfoo

Thinking of big things in the water, it would be funny to make a "loch ness monster" and pull it through our lake. It would be a hoot!

7:08 am

MollyL

us + first 3 of not far

7:08 am

Lizlin

So true - and there are already cruise terminals in Brisbane (70 km away) and Sydney - so why another. Answer - casino!

7:08 am

rubyfoo

ty molly

7:08 am

bichon

Casinos, hell pits of the world

7:09 am

Lizlin

That would be a laugh, Ruby.

7:09 am

Lizlin

But the businessman's delight! It's all about money!

7:09 am

rubyfoo

Just my sick sense of humour.

7:09 am

MollyL

I have never understood the appeal of casinos. Or Vegas for that matter.

7:09 am

Lizlin

the final en 6/7 pls?

7:10 am

MollyL

en + a word that means work hard

7:10 am

rubyfoo

The locals are rather dopy; they only sail onthis little lake when there's no wind. If they ever heeled (keeled?) over, they'd die of heart attacks

7:10 am

Lizlin

Me neither! Though the local casino is also the home to a very good theatre - have seen a couple of good productions there.

7:10 am

bichon

Every time I've been in a casino [not gambling related] I've been sick to my stomach. All those people mindlessly putting money in and getting nothing out of it

7:10 am

Lizlin

Thanks, Molly

7:10 am

rubyfoo

In my wild and often broke youth, I used to play backgammon for money

7:11 am

MollyL

Yeah, sailing when there is no wind is pretty dopey

7:11 am

bichon

Seriously ruby?

7:11 am

MollyL

When I was in college, there used to be some serious backgammon for money games.

7:12 am

Lizlin

I've only been to a casino once and that was on holiday in Tunisia! We took $10 and when it was gone, it was gone. No desire to go back.

7:12 am

rubyfoo

Yes U also used to be on horses when I had a little extra money. We used to do a lot of ocean sailing off Miami and the Bahamas

7:12 am

rubyfoo

bet*

7:12 am

rubyfoo

I once got hu6d in a chouette by two guys. I learned my lesson

7:13 am

MollyL

I can see Ruby now, at the track in her attractive dress and cute shoes

7:13 am

bichon

I was there last June as a race Mr. Bich was volunteering for and my granddaughter was running in was there. We ate at the buffet

7:13 am

rubyfoo

Ask Annie about OTB. I only went to the track with my father, when I was young, and with a beau, when I was much older

7:13 am

bichon

Once there was a tryout for "Jeopardy" there.

7:14 am

rubyfoo

did you all find the th5? I thought it was a Fr shrub but I guess it's latin

7:15 am

Lizlin

No I don't have that word.

7:15 am

rubyfoo

th5/18

7:16 am

rubyfoo

That's where the baby dog sleeps' she has made a nest there

7:16 am

Lizlin

Looking!

7:16 am

Lizlin

Cute

7:16 am

rubyfoo

she is a character

7:17 am

MollyL

th5 ends with first two of rich person's boat

7:17 am

Lizlin

Thanks Molly. That helped.

7:17 am

rubyfoo

ty, Molly, I couldn't clue it, didn't think of that

7:18 am

MollyL

One of the many weirdo Babble words

7:19 am

rubyfoo

but not weird here, everybody has them in their hedges

7:19 am

Lizlin

Looks like a type of cypress tree

7:19 am

Lizlin

Just googled it.

7:20 am

MollyL

I'm sure if I knew more about landscaping it would be a familiar word

7:20 am

rubyfoo

maybe. They were here when we bought the house aand give lots of privacy WHEN they are healthy

7:20 am

Riverdance

Good Morning Everyone

7:20 am

rubyfoo

7:21 am

Lizlin

Hi River

7:21 am

Riverdance

Happy Friday

7:22 am

Lizlin

And the same to you

7:22 am

rubyfoo

drug for ADD?

7:23 am

rubyfoo

I think it's Friday cocktail time someplace!

7:23 am

Riverdance

bit early for me - only 8:23 am

7:23 am

MollyL

Yes Ruby, but I think that is a proper noun

7:23 am

Lizlin

Friday bedtime here - well, almost!

7:24 am

MollyL

*Mixes Ruby a drink

7:24 am

rubyfoo

River, if you were inBinghamton, you'd have a beer and tomato juice for breakfast

7:24 am

rubyfoo

already had a Ricard with lunch

7:24 am

Riverdance

yuck - maybe vodka and orange juice

7:24 am

Riverdance

or a bloody mary

7:24 am

MollyL

Oh, like one is enough for you?
: D

7:25 am

rubyfoo

hahah

7:25 am

Riverdance

what is a Ricard?

7:25 am

MollyL

Bloody Mary, extra spicy for River

7:25 am

Riverdance

or a bloody caesar

7:25 am

Riverdance

yes I like them hot....

7:25 am

rubyfoo

It's licorice-flavored -- every Mediterranean country has one like it: raki, ouzo, anisette, etc.

7:26 am

MollyL

I assume Ruby means the anise flavored liqueur

7:26 am

rubyfoo

they start out yellow, but when you add water, they turn milky

7:26 am

rubyfoo

I think Ricard is a little less sweet

7:27 am

MollyL

Icky, I can't handle Clamato

7:27 am

rubyfoo

I don't like Clamato, either, but a good Bloody Mary can be super

7:27 am

Riverdance

I like Clamato especially with the rimmer on the glass

7:28 am

Riverdance

Actually I was just introduced to Clamato this year when I went to visit my friend in Canada

7:28 am

MollyL

I've always wondered who came up with mixing clam and tomato juice. Some New Englander no doubt.

7:29 am

Riverdance

and i dont like clam juice but for some reason I clamato

7:30 am

rubyfoo

I used to like clam juice, but it's been years. I think,however, I'll drink almost anything (except Clamato) hahah

7:30 am

MollyL

The beer and clamato combination really gives me the gickies

7:30 am

rubyfoo

tastes change. I no longereat oysters and grew up eating them since \I was a little kid

7:31 am

rubyfoo

beer and tomato juice, specific for Binghamton hangovers

7:31 am

MollyL

Those Binghamton folks are hard party animals

7:32 am

Riverdance

I cant wait for this rain to stop - it is killing my hip

7:32 am

MollyL

That storm came through here the other day. It was miserable.

7:32 am

rubyfoo

does anybody else know about Cidty Chicken and Spiedis?

7:32 am

car.eeyore

Good morning and hello everyone

7:32 am

rubyfoo

City*

7:33 am

rubyfoo

hello car.

7:33 am

Riverdance

hello car

7:33 am

MollyL

Hi Car, is your eldest still among the living?

7:33 am

car.eeyore

Yes

7:34 am

rubyfoo

bye kids, see you later

7:34 am

car.eeyore

When he did apologize, I told him he broke my heart.

7:35 am

Riverdance

bye ((ruby))

7:36 am

Riverdance

oh no car - I did not hear what happened but I know what you mean - my daughter breaks my heart all the time

7:37 am

car.eeyore

I was flipped the bird and told to F off

7:37 am

MollyL

Yeah, kids do that on occasion. But it is usually not their intention. The hormone years are hard.

7:37 am

car.eeyore

Was the first time, but I know it won't be the last

7:37 am

Riverdance

oh boy - that is not acceptable

7:38 am

Riverdance

how old is he?

7:39 am

car.eeyore

11

7:40 am

Riverdance

that is young for that - my best friends son has done that to her many times but he is 17. Loss of privileges is a constant at her house.

7:40 am

MollyL

Yeah, that is about the age my boys started getting that "teenage boy smell".

7:40 am

Riverdance

I remember that smell - awful

7:40 am

Riverdance

1

7:41 am

Riverdance

and the odd part is he really is a great kid. But Mom is always at fault!

7:41 am

car.eeyore

But of course

7:42 am

MollyL

People (including kids) often go for the jugular in fights. It starts with I HATE YOU! when they are kids.

7:42 am

Riverdance

stay strong - their fazes change so quickly

7:42 am

MollyL

*little kids

7:42 am

car.eeyore

Well he picked a really stupid time to do it...dad was home.

7:43 am

MollyL

Why is it any worse to do when Dad is home?

7:44 am

car.eeyore

Someone else to correct him and punish him...very beneficial I believe.

7:44 am

Riverdance

react before thinking - their brains are not developing

7:44 am

car.eeyore

I was emotional and heated at that point...so it was better handled by a cooler head.

7:45 am

Riverdance

you are right car

7:45 am

car.eeyore

Did you all see that report about a teenager's brain being basically back at infant stage?

7:46 am

Riverdance

it wouldn't surprise me

7:46 am

Riverdance

at that age my daughter was a yeller, stomper and slammer......was not pretty

7:46 am

car.eeyore

It has to do with the development and the amount of information they are taking in at school at the time

7:47 am

car.eeyore

stats for the U please?

7:47 am

MollyL

You forgot the eye rolling River : D

7:47 am

Riverdance

we had to take in all the information too but if I had done something like that I would have gotten slapped

7:47 am

Riverdance

us 5/12

7:47 am

car.eeyore

No shit.

7:47 am

Riverdance

She is 21 and has the eye roll down perfectly

7:48 am

car.eeyore

Got it, ty

7:48 am

Riverdance

In all honesty I think she gets that from me -- was a champion at the eye roll when I was still with my ex

7:49 am

Riverdance

I need to get back to work - have a great day - (((Car)))

7:50 am

car.eeyore

Have a great day River!

7:51 am

car.eeyore

I need to get mom to day program. BBL>

9:21 am

Dorens

(Une never gets up to NY anymore these days, but loves the theater-- So when I go I am her vicarious theater-goer, sometimes she even tells me what to see. Not that I go all that often, but now that I'm retired......)

9:21 am

Dorens

So, Edward Albee is best known for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.... but this one should be better known.

OK...since yesterday, I keep writing the number 5 where it does not belong. When writing my work files names down (date, doc, office) I wrote them as 05 (may) instead of 10 (october). I keep typing 2015 instead of 2014....what is up with the number 5?

10:26 am

Is Crossy here? We need Elegant on this one, I think.

Judi

Maybe that's how many eggs were fertilized the last time you had sex.

10:29 am

car.eeyore

If it was just happening today while I was typing I would just think I was tired or distracted. But the fact that I wrote several things down yesterday with the 5 is wigging me out

10:29 am

ChrissieDee

Are you very tired?

10:29 am

car.eeyore

Oh myyyyyyy

10:30 am

Judi

Sorry. Just my sick mind at work. Please don't drop dead.

10:30 am

Oh, there is a God. I just read that Honey Boo-Boo was canceled.

And... Fireworks!

10:43 am

MollyL

It depends on what kind of meaning you are looking for. You can do a Google search on "the meaning of the number 5" and discover what you think it means for you. Having someone else interpret it will only give you their slant on the meaning of that number.

11:03 am

Car asked about the significance of the number 5. Ru made a joke about Subway. It went over like a lead balloon. I should have left it that way. Jokes just don't go over here. Best to keep it simple. How is the weather? How is your puppy? Your kitty?

In the last few days, it has become evident to me that people do not really read the chat. I should remember that and not comment the way I do.

4:10 pm

saanichcat

Molly, I admit to being one of those. However, having said that, I always pay attention to whatever you have to say. (when I see it!) You bring remarkable truths to us all and thank you.

OK even though next to my monika is a little blue person.

4:52 pm

bichon

Well, doh

4:52 pm

zoozzoom

Maybe i am too polite.to be male.Sorry not getting it.

4:52 pm

MollyL

Zoom, I have come to the realization that people don't pay very much attention to chat things.

4:53 pm

bichon

I do, but just not the little person

4:54 pm

Jillyjill

Gotta get this done....going out for beer and pizza with a good friend that's been gone all summer...

5:12 pm

Soodle

Very happy for you, Jill! Here's to the next 40 🍸

5:13 pm

5:21 pm

Soodle

Shhhh Jilly. That's my excuse! Don't tell Molly....

5:24 pm

Soodle

I have those cheap nasty generic specs everywhere around the house. In the bedroom, bathroom, car, office. I am probably blinding myself, but at least I can read.

5:28 pm

5:29 pm

Jillyjill

5:35 pm

Soodle

Not a bit of it, Sue!! It's only as bleak as you make it, and God knows , your not a bleak person! So.. How goes it with Frank?

5:36 pm

Jillyjill

I clued earlier to you mkg...it's the pl of the 8: one who blows up a flat tire

5:36 pm

mkg

sorry jilly i had to go to business calls. . ok so one who blows up a flat tire. hmmm. i will try to find it.

5:37 pm

Jillyjill

or someone who blows up an ego

5:37 pm

mkg

an ego?????? now i am confused.

5:38 pm

Soodle

Free drinks, Jilly? I think I'll have a Brandy & Baileys! (Only if you are paying...)

5:39 pm

mkg

ok i dont know who blows up a flat ti*e other than a ti*e changer. or a mechanic. or the driver.

5:39 pm

MollyL

*Pretends she didn't hear the bleak stuff. Tends bar.

5:40 pm

mkg

jilly is the ego one a real clue? i am confused

5:40 pm

MollyL

Mkg, if you want to get the kiddy pool ready, you have to in5 it.

5:40 pm

MollyL

in5...blow air into it

5:42 pm

mkg

ok i know a word flate. and there is no flate in this grid. i just dont see it. i see in and a fl 4.

5:42 pm

mkg

5:43 pm

MollyL

People often think of explosions when they hear the term "blow up"

5:43 pm

mkg

whew. sorry about that. i thought it was with an e.

5:44 pm

mkg

i was very confused by the ego thing. but yes now it makes sense.

5:44 pm

Jillyjill

5:45 pm

mkg

5:45 pm

mkg

5:47 pm

5:48 pm

uusue2

Sorry, our vegetable delivery arrived!

5:48 pm

mkg

ty. got it but weird word for sure.

5:49 pm

uusue2

anyway, Frank is doing much better now that the kidney stone is gone; he's still pretty worn out, though.

5:49 pm

MollyL

How do you get vegetable delivery?

5:50 pm

uusue2

We are part of a CSA (community supported agriculture) - often these are local farms, but this one is actually a whole set of community gardens

5:50 pm

uusue2

they bring a box every week (or as often as you sign up for)

5:51 pm

MollyL

Oh we have that too but you have to go to the farm and pick it up. Nice that you get it delivered.

5:51 pm

uusue2

THe gardens themselves were started about three years ago by one of our friends; they are on town and county property, including schools and city hall, and also some businesses and individuals

5:52 pm

Soodle

Excellent idea, Sue.

5:52 pm

uusue2

they grow an enormous amount; most is donated to food pantries, homeless and battered women's shelters, and the like, but this year they started the CSA - and you are right, it is very nice to have them delivered!

5:53 pm

uusue2

they've raised enough money through donations and grants that they were able to purchase some property (I think some of it was donated as well) and have planted fruit and nut trees, so in a few years they'll have those as well as the veggies

5:53 pm

MollyL

So how long will this last for you? It has to be close to the end of growing season in your area.

5:54 pm

uusue2

I'm not sure, Molly, I think it was supposed to be 15 weeks. We should be nearing the end of it. We've had a few frosty mornings but no hard freeze yet.

5:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi, all wow , sue, it's been along time, just reading your updates

5:55 pm

uusue2

hi TO!

5:57 pm

uusue2

maybe it's 20 weeks, Molly, I just looked up when we got our 1st one and this one is the 20th

5:57 pm

uusue2

anyway, TO, yes, we're back on the roller coaster

5:57 pm

MollyL

TO, just curious. Has anyone given you a hard time about your icon? I love it, but there are people here who get snooty about icon contents.

5:58 pm

bichon

No hard freeze here. Waiting for it so the leaf mold spores will finally go away

5:58 pm

uusue2

hi bichon! Yes, my friends with allergies are eager for frost :-)

5:59 pm
