rubyfoo

good morning. (I typed goof first, which probably made more sense)

2:19 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} dearest ruby

2:20 am

rubyfoo

2:21 am

rubyfoo

I start out the day tired, but at least the work is progressing pretty fast. Yesterday and Wed, he did the ceilings in the kitchen and B.'s bathroom and painted over the old kitchen wallpaper which was only dirty, not peeling or anything.He wanted to remove it and staryt fresh, but \I felt that would take longer, be more messy and cost more

2:21 am

grannyrose

i keep meaning to ask you if the chain on the pendant is long enough.

2:22 am

rubyfoo

It is awful having somebody working in the house all day and between the painter and my clingy husband, I have no privacy at all.

2:22 am

grannyrose

wow, ruby. you won't know your home.

2:22 am

rubyfoo

Yes, I love my lizard!!!! It fits and I am a bad friend fr not having written to you at length.

2:23 am

grannyrose

never a bad friend, ruby. and that's okay. with all that is going on, i am surprised you have time to breathe.

2:24 am

Lizlin

Hi all and hugs :)

2:24 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} liz girl. how was your day?

2:25 am

rubyfoo

2:25 am

Lizlin

OK. Onto the next question!

2:25 am

rubyfoo

The good news is that the house should be lovely again by the time you and Don arrive in the Spring/early summer

2:25 am

grannyrose

oh dear....

2:26 am

Lizlin

How was your evening last night, Rose?

2:26 am

grannyrose

that was to liz, not you ruby...lol.

2:26 am

rubyfoo

Today we have to shlep the kitchen drapes to the dry cleaner but, although they are cotton, I don'tthink my little washer could handle the load and I'm afraid they'd shrink

2:26 am

grannyrose

liz we have had a lovely cool change. it was still 26C at midnight.

2:27 am

grannyrose

oh, liz, to die for. the food was glorious.

2:27 am

Lizlin

It wasn't that bad really - just got off to a frustrating St 5 thru an email and I let it get to me all day!

2:27 am

Lizlin

Lucky you Rose - temps of 40 C predicted for the weekend.

2:28 am

Lizlin

I'm happy it was a good evening.

2:28 am

grannyrose

we didn't wait much more than 5 minutes for our first 3 courses. and the flow was kept up. the waiter was incredible. the restaurant was nearly 3/4 full, and he was on his own.

2:28 am

Lizlin

It sounds as tho your renos are making really good progress ruby

2:29 am

Lizlin

Sounds wonderful :)

2:30 am

grannyrose

it was worth the drive. and we took the opportunity to inspect a different park for our boxing day celebrations.

2:30 am

grannyrose

do you want to share about the email here?

2:31 am

Lizlin

No! Thanks for asking. Nothing serious, just frustrating. Business stuff from the UK.

2:33 am

grannyrose

np's, liz. {{hugs}} for you in your frustration

2:34 am

Lizlin

Thanks - I'm over it! Well, more or less!

2:36 am

Lizlin

How was your day and where's Ruby gone?

2:37 am

grannyrose

ruby is still on-line. my day has been quiet. a few spasms in back which were inconvenient.

2:38 am

Lizlin

Did Don get over his post hydro aches?

2:39 am

grannyrose

yes he did, thanx for asking. he has taken it easy today as well. it was so hot overnight, even with the aircon going.

2:39 am

rubyfoo

The painter had a question.

2:39 am

rubyfoo

do 30-40 flights of stairs a day

2:39 am

grannyrose

we didn't sleep too well.

2:40 am

Lizlin

Hopefully better tonight with the cool change!

2:41 am

grannyrose

no wonder you are thin as a rake, ruby

2:41 am

Lizlin

Keeps you fit too:)

2:42 am

rubyfoo

What's odd is that I still get breathless and my heart pounds

2:43 am

Lizlin

Don't overdo it!

2:44 am

rururocks

Being breathless and having my heart pounding sounds good to me..

2:45 am

Lizlin

Better than not!

2:45 am

rubyfoo

aaah, ru, a man after my own (but old) heart!

2:46 am

rubyfoo

ooh, just found a nifty th8, almost by accident

2:47 am

Lizlin

WTG ruby :)

2:51 am

grannyrose

ruby, don't forget to plural it.

2:52 am

rubyfoo

(I forgot lol)

2:53 am

grannyrose

most of the words ending with T or R can be pluralled

2:57 am

Lizlin

rubyfoo

3:07 am

sprite

babble, doing dishes with Rob, shopping groceries, cooking dessert, resting, cooking dinner, resting, eating dinner and talking with friend who comes for dinner again. Also listening to daughter who goes protesting the new study finance system, and son who made it into the top 3 of national science competition and has a meeting about that today.

3:07 am

sprite

lol, crazy spell checker. Nice Liz, earthy pleasures :) Enjoy dinner *hugs*

3:08 am

rubyfoo

111 abd a kuttke breaj ti naje syre nthng is burning up or down

3:08 am

grannyrose

eeeek...sprite.

3:09 am

sprite

lol ruby. That was almost perfect Klingon.

3:09 am

grannyrose

oh, and tell caya i found her song "downside up" ??? i think it was.

3:10 am

sprite

yeah, packed day. I picked an oven dish for tonight, so that I only have to start the oven tonight.

3:10 am

sprite

downside up? Wth.... a new one?

3:11 am

grannyrose

*sigh * i can't remember...waaahhh, and now i can't find it. hang on

3:11 am

sprite

ups and downs? Back to front?

3:12 am

grannyrose

back to front....LOL....

3:12 am

sprite

hehehe great! That is a cover. Well done, isn't it? :)

3:12 am

grannyrose

i knew it was two opposites

3:13 am

grannyrose

absolutely

3:15 am

sprite

am so doggone proud of them. They really put themselves out there. I never did. Too scared. But they are going to make a success of themselves.

3:15 am

grannyrose

which is a tribute to how you and rob have brought them up.

3:16 am

sprite

thank you, darling. That means a lot to me.

3:19 am

sprite

fairytale is her last original. Haunting.

3:19 am

grannyrose

okay, must remember to look for it

3:21 am

grannyrose

aha, found.

3:21 am

sprite

:)

3:26 am

grannyrose

i wonder how our pugs and her sister are doing? another 36 hours at least until we may hear. how dare she sleep and leave us in suspenders like this?

3:28 am

sprite

sister was doing better, bs leveled again. Seems to be related to food intake.
pugs was frustrated. Doctor said he needs an ultrasound first, with the insurance must ok. So no news there.

3:28 am

sprite

which* not with, sigh

3:29 am

grannyrose

yeah i heard the same. i am wondering if sister is helping herself to foods which she isn't allowed to have. in the hospital there would be no access to extra food.

3:30 am

sprite

that is the idea now. Sounds like she needs constant care, more than pug can possible give her.

3:31 am

grannyrose

i hear don home with dinner. sprite, love, will be back as soon as i inhale it.

3:31 am

sprite

eat at your leasure, darling. *hugs* and enjoy

3:37 am

sprite

brb, potty break

3:43 am

sprite

back. Potty still well and whole.

3:48 am

grannyrose

back, glad to hear it....lol. tummy full again.

3:48 am

Lizlin

Tummy full here too, but only back for a minute or two

3:49 am

sprite

good :) Simple pleasures here... two cups of coffee in stead of one this morning. Almost ready to go shopping now.

3:49 am

grannyrose

nice liz girl.

3:49 am

sprite

hey Liz :) Enjoy the good feeling.

3:49 am

rubyfoo

I think my fingers were in the wrong place. It almost looked like Dutch (or Klingon, like sprite said)

3:49 am

grannyrose

take it slowly sprite. and try a rest between shops.

3:49 am

rubyfoo

I just had to write two enormous checks to the painter for the wallpaper. Unbelievable!

3:50 am

Lizlin

And brain obviously fired by food - found that th8/9 combo!

3:50 am

sprite

lol hi ruby, yes it did. More Klingon than Dutch.

3:50 am

sprite

yay Liz! Good job!

3:50 am

grannyrose

two such combos liz

3:50 am

Lizlin

Both with th?

3:51 am

sprite

ah, indeed, thanks rose and Liz

3:51 am

rubyfoo

This is exhausting both on the wallet and on me. But, hopefully, it will be nice when finished

3:51 am

sprite

yeah, same prefix

3:51 am

grannyrose

yes liz

3:51 am

Lizlin

I have the ao ones

3:51 am

Lizlin

3:51 am

Lizlin

3:51 am

Lizlin

3:55 am

rubyfoo

3:55 am

sprite

3:55 am

rubyfoo

3:56 am

sprite

*hits ruby over the head with the tiniest guppy in the tank*

3:57 am

grannyrose

hope you have a good night, liz girl. {{hugs}}

3:57 am

sprite

what are your plans for tomorrow, rose?

3:59 am

grannyrose

first thing, down to medicare, to lodge that claim for my prescriptions, then the shopping on the way home. also lodging redirection of mail for while we are away. then collapse....lol

4:00 am

sprite

hm, too much too. Collapse sounds about right. Take care of yourself, ok?

4:01 am

grannyrose

yeah, lots of sitting. if i can't 'do' the second supermarket, don will have to do it on his own. at least the list is written.

4:02 am

sprite

ah, good thinking.

4:02 am

sprite

when will you be leaving, rose?

4:02 am

grannyrose

early, about 8am. want to be at medicare first thing.

4:03 am

sprite

lol no I meant on your trip

4:04 am

grannyrose

when i showed chemist my pension card, she rang medicare ( government health insurance people) and they said i was due for all the monies from over 140 prescriptions to be returned. we are talking close to AU$1000.

4:04 am

mattygroves

The word of the day (not babble word) is YAWN

4:04 am

ahh... there is life:)

6:39 am

crosshair

sort of..:)

6:41 am

jwr

don't be a snowhog, crossy -- send some of it down the coast

6:43 am

crosshair

I will if I can.. lol!, really blowing and drifting out there atm:)

6:44 am

crosshair

everyone gets to learn how to drive all over again:/

6:44 am

Trifioso

morning all. library coverage, my favorite!

6:44 am

jwr

are you snug and warm inside?

6:44 am

Trifioso

slic

6:44 am

Trifioso

whoops

6:45 am

crosshair

yup, still in my jammies with a nice cuppa tea

6:45 am

crosshair

howdy trif

6:46 am

jwr

crossy, do you have to go out and shovel or put chains on the car or something ... or can you stay indoors and enjoy

6:47 am

crosshair

lol, not anywhere near the chains-on-the tires-stage, but yes, I have a three day weekend ahead of me.

6:48 am

jwr

Terrific! Hope we get a nice 400-worder for you

6:48 am

Trifioso

I am going to a party tonight, and have NO IDEA what the dress expectations are....such a quandary! :)

6:48 am

Wolvie

morning all :-)

6:48 am

crosshair

This little dust up is just winter's way of saying "Howdy, I am back again for seven months!"

6:48 am

mattygroves

Trif, my advice is to wear...clothes. Nudity is usually remarkable at such events.

6:49 am

crosshair

Overdress with a jacket removal option to bring it to dress casual

6:49 am

crosshair

howdy, wolvie

6:49 am

Trifioso

matty, normally this is true, but these are some fine party animals. Nudity can and HAS happened at their gatherings!!!

6:50 am

Trifioso

zoar

6:50 am

crosshair

Oh them just go with your favorite spray-on party dress:)

6:50 am

Trifioso

sorry again. whoops

6:50 am

jwr

I miss real winter -- used to spend winter vacations in the laurentians, Ste. Adele, Ste. Agathe... rope tows and wooden skis.

6:50 am

Trifioso

Crossy, you are SPOT ON - I actually kept threatening to do that one year at one of their Halloween parties

6:50 am

crosshair

dating yourself with tow-ropes....

6:50 am

Trifioso

and I still might

6:51 am

jwr

nah. 74th birthday coming up tomorrow

6:51 am

crosshair

our ski resorts will already have the snow-guns going full blast:)

6:52 am

ladycece920

happy birthday jwr!

6:53 am

jwr

that's good. The situation in Tahoe and elsewhere in the mountains in this part of the world is looking worse every year

6:53 am

Wolvie

happy day to you jwr :-)

6:53 am

jwr

thanks, lady - waiting for next year, though. Somehow "75" just seems more important, doesn't it

6:53 am

crosshair

Though, saying that, jwr, our winters are a shadow of what they used to be:(

6:54 am

ladycece920

yes it does - 3 quarters of a century !!

6:54 am

jwr

and a ty to you too, wolvie. ... Crossy, didn't know that. (memory going ... didn't someone say something about warmer temperatures>>??

6:56 am

crosshair

we used to get minus 30c- minus 40c in Jan-Feb quite a few times. These days we are lucky if it dips below minus 20c all winter long; plus, the winters seem to end a month earlier than years ago.

6:56 am

sukee

Good moning

6:56 am

jwr

best get back to work, calls coming in. Feel better about running off now that crossy has good company. happy babbling all

6:56 am

Housecleaning interspersed with outdoor activities.

9:43 am

car.eeyore

Will the weather cooperate, Scrabs?

9:44 am

zoozzoom

To be honest I would not know the names of many of them now.The last wierd named cocktail I remember was one called salty dog. No idea what was in it or what it taste like.With a name like that..I did not want to find out..lol

9:44 am

car.eeyore

Vodka and grapefruit juice with a salted rim, I think

9:44 am

zoozzoom

weird*

9:45 am

car.eeyore

Yup! Just looked it up

9:45 am

zoozzoom

Ahh good job I did not have one then.Not keen on grapefruit.

9:45 am

hego

I love mojitos and cosmos

9:45 am

hego

and margaritas!

9:45 am

hego

I do well on Key West.

9:46 am

car.eeyore

Oooh...sorry....typically gin, not vodka. Vodka makes it a greyhound.

9:46 am

CiociaJudy

OMG Hego. Cosmos and Margaritas are my favs. And we're close enough to meet up for cocktails!

9:46 am

zoozzoom

Oh i have heard of margaritas!

9:46 am

zoozzoom

LOL are you kidding me, Car?

9:46 am

hego

Yes we are Judi!

9:46 am

car.eeyore

Captain morgan and diet coke or flavored martinins are my thing

9:46 am

car.eeyore

Nope!

9:47 am

zoozzoom

Good grief..lol

9:47 am

hego

I lured Judy out of lurk with that one. :)

9:47 am

car.eeyore

Salty dog is typically gin (but vodka may be used) with grapefruit juice and a salted rim. A greyhound is vodka with grapefruit juice, no salted rim.

9:47 am

zoozzoom

9:47 am

It's also in the shadow of a cliff, so may not be able to recharge its batteries.

I have alerted my kiddos that something that was optional for this past report card is now a requirement and that I will expect them to take (and pass at or above a certain percentage) some online reading assessments... some of them were looking really worried.

10:01 pm

We do not live for the latest fashions as you know but we do have hoarding tendencies. I think a compromise would be a limited amount of space for hoarding. When it is full, do something!

10:02 pm

stidmama

I am very unhappy -- a catalog came in the mail with a "scented page" that I didn't know about. So I was paging through and now I am miserable and starting to itch. DUMB STUPID DUM-BASS marketers!!!!! *very allergic mama look at catalog*

Bugsaw

I am well. It was very cold today so I was glad to be inside most of the day, tutoring and preparing for shelves in the closet

10:07 pm

stidmama

yes, GR (was off taking antihistamine) but more likely to need the inhaler than the epipen for this.

10:07 pm

stidmama

Go bugs go!

10:08 pm

grannyrose

never can be too prepared, stidmama.

10:08 pm

stidmama

did you have hydrotherapy today, GR? I always picture you in a swimsuit with a skirt feature and one of those silly little swim caps from 50 years ago -- you know, the ones with the fake rubber flowers all over them! LOL

10:09 pm

Bugsaw

poor granny! what a vision!

10:09 pm

stidmama

oh, and a fancy cocktail of some sort being handed to you by the exceedingly handsome cabana boy ....

10:10 pm

grannyrose

our stupid computer has been down-loading stuff we didn't know about, and pushed us over our down-load limit and it's only halfway through the month. *glares daggers at himself* DH decided to try a new windows app, and this is the result. grrrr

10:10 pm

stidmama

;-) Probably better for him to hand you cocktails than trim trees, eh?

10:10 pm

Bugsaw

I will keep the cabana boy in my vision.

10:10 pm

grannyrose

roflol, close stid. not the hat, but if i had one.....

10:10 pm

stidmama

oh oh, that's too bad, GR

10:11 pm

Bugsaw

I would hate a computer that downloads all by itself. Smacks of ghosties and ghoulies

10:12 pm

grannyrose

btw, i am exceedingly proud of my 'granny' swimsuit, skirt and all. no more bikini line waxing for me....or is that too much information?

10:12 pm

stidmama

I am glad you could be inside today bugs -- it has been bitter cold in the town I teach in, I am letting the kids into my classroom as soon as they start arriving instead of making them wait until 8:15 (their official arrival time).

10:13 pm

Bugsaw

I have been to those classes and all the ladies are very kind about looking into each others' eyes only.

10:13 pm

grannyrose

*giggling * bugs....and in the showers later ???

10:13 pm

Bugsaw

8:15 seems early. Is that for a 9:00 beginning?

10:13 pm

stidmama

I think that we get too hung up on our body shape and stretchmarks and are too little concerned with the love that our bodies hold.

10:14 pm

stidmama

It's for 8:30 start time.

10:14 pm

stidmama

Many kids arrive at 8, but we feed them breakfast, so they start filtering out of the cafeteria around 8:10

10:15 pm

stidmama

oooh! I just got NBT! :-)

10:15 pm

stidmama

it's a tough grid today

10:16 pm

Bugsaw

It is a tough grid. I am tired of it so I went to Morewords to finish.

10:16 pm

stidmama

how about you, tor? did the cold air affect you in the sunny south at all? It actually SNOWED about 80 miles south of us today!

10:17 pm

Bugsaw

I am glad their is a meal program at your school. It always helps when they are not hungry and very few of them are willing to tell about it.

10:17 pm

stidmama

I haven't listed yet, not sure I am that interested in finishing. Was just glad to have some time to play tonight.

10:17 pm

torgone

It's seasonably cool here ..

10:18 pm

stidmama

Our school received a grant to feed ALL the students breakfast and lunch for free this year -- we have so many who need the help anyway that we qualified for a full-school program.

10:18 pm

Bugsaw

I was always proud of those who could admit that some food would definately help them feel better. I had a stash in my desk or locker.

10:18 pm

Bugsaw

It is below freezing here torgone and has been for days

10:19 pm

stidmama

I keep some snacks, but I cannot afford to feed 25 children once a day... not even with little snacks. So I dole them out sparingly.

10:20 pm

torgone

That's great about the school meals. Kids do so much better with adequate nourishment.

10:20 pm

stidmama

I agree, tor -- their growing minds and bodies cannot function when they are thinking about empty tummies.

10:21 pm

Bugsaw

not so much of a need if there is a food program. I worked in middle schools that had canteens where they could pay. If they couldn't pay, tough luck

10:22 pm

stidmama

we have that happen sometimes, too -- in the more affluent schools (like the one last year) some children were always "volunteering" at lunch in order to earn a meal.

10:22 pm

stidmama

I don't understand how we can live in a society that so little values our children.

10:25 pm

Bugsaw

I am glad they found a way to meet their needs while helping others. Smart kids

10:26 pm

stidmama

they were smart kids! :-) I just regret that they missed all the clubs that met at lunch. :-( Maybe someday...

10:32 pm

Bugsaw

I must take my leave. I am too distracted by Doc Martin to care about this grid. Good night

10:33 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams bugs -- love to mr bugs

10:40 pm

stidmama

I am also heading out. have a good evening, all. *poof*
