cooee and g'day from me. what a magic grid!

2:07 am

Lizlin

Hi Rose. Pt hanks for the email.

2:08 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} liz girl. just keeping you inthe loop. how's things up there?

2:08 am

Lizlin

Very dark and thundery.

2:09 am

grannyrose

* prays that rain comes to liz's area*

2:09 am

Lizlin

So I guess you'll be looking at hip replacement next. Soon be calling you the bionic woman!

2:10 am

Lizlin

We've had lots of rain. Lots more to come today and tomorrow.

2:10 am

grannyrose

nice liz....hope you don't get too much, hin

2:11 am

grannyrose

should help fill the pool...

2:11 am

Lizlin

Almost 2 tiles since yesterday.

2:12 am

Lizlin

Should be sunny by next week. Hope so. Annual Chanukah celebrations in the park next Thursday.

2:12 am

grannyrose

wow!!! hear that knocking on the front door?? it's me...let me ion, it's wet out here....lol

2:12 am

grannyrose

ugh....in....

2:13 am

Lizlin

Lol

2:13 am

grannyrose

oh, how lovely, liz. praying for good weather for Chanukah.

2:13 am

Lizlin

How are things down your way?

2:14 am

grannyrose

still cold and wet. but the sun did break through briefly this arvo. no break really until saturday.

2:14 am

Lizlin

Monday here I think.

2:14 am

Lizlin

Are you feeling less achy today?

2:15 am

grannyrose

it is nice to find out i genuinely have pain and its cause. i was starting to doubt myself.

2:16 am

Lizlin

Glad there's a reason but sort of wish there wasn't. From your reading of the X-rays, do you think they'll want to do a replacement?

2:17 am

Lizlin

Are all 4 of the 9s co 9?

2:17 am

Cosmo Kramer

3 are. i dont know about the 4th. dont have it

2:18 am

Lizlin

Me neither. Have 3 co 9s

2:20 am

grannyrose

other 9 is pl9/66

2:20 am

grannyrose

compound word

2:20 am

Lizlin

Thanks. Looking.

2:21 am

grannyrose

liz, bilateral hip replacements are definitely in the cards...*sigh*

2:22 am

Lizlin

Sigh indeed. You'll be setting off all the me5 detectors at the airport.

2:23 am

grannyrose

i am trying to work out if i should have the surgery before i go overseas, or after.

2:23 am

grannyrose

i already do THAT....lol....not a new experience at all.

2:24 am

Lizlin

Depends on your pain level. It'd be a real shame if pain stopped you doing stuff you wanted to do.

2:24 am

grannyrose

luckily, with hips, doing both at once is considered a good idea.

2:24 am

Lizlin

:) sort of!

2:24 am

Lizlin

Clue for that 9 pls.

2:25 am

grannyrose

oh, we are looking in earnest at our next car. i love toyota, and don is quite happy with the corolla, as am i.

2:25 am

Lizlin

Saw a woman climbing all the steps at tintagel castle this summer, who'd had both hips done. She was so fit!

2:25 am

grannyrose

pl6, plural of large flat areas of land + not women

2:25 am

Lizlin

Thanks

2:26 am

Lizlin

Wouldn't have thought of that word.

2:26 am

grannyrose

liz, going up is not a problem, and coming down is not so bad. it's the long time standing and/or walking.

2:27 am

Lizlin

Well I guess she went down too!

2:27 am

Lizlin

Very steep.

2:28 am

Lizlin

So you can't walk or stay still. Confusing!

2:29 am

Lizlin

Seriously though, so unpleasant.

2:30 am

grannyrose

*giggle* walking makes the joints hurt, standing still makes the muscles spasm..and YOU'RE confused? try living with it.

2:31 am

Lizlin

Very hard but like you said, at least the docs can't doubt the truth of it now.

2:33 am

grannyrose

my GP is flummoxed. she said if it was my hips, the pain should be at the front. my pain is along my thighs on the outside. also, i get excruciating pain just sitting in the car, or lieing in bed.

2:33 am

Lizlin

Referred pain?

2:34 am

grannyrose

ah, well, liz. there is certainly some-one who is worse off than i am. i will not co8.

2:35 am

Lizlin

Great attitude but I wish you were without pain.

2:35 am

Lizlin

Great attitude but I wish you were without pain.

2:35 am

grannyrose

as i said in the email, maybe this will get her off my back re my usage of endone.

2:35 am

Lizlin

Perhaps but how long term can you use it and how much? Is it addictive?

2:36 am

grannyrose

it is addictive. but i take about once every two weeks only. and only one tablet then. i am not taking it everyday.

2:37 am

Lizlin

Sounds OK TO ME

2:37 am

Lizlin

Sounds OK to me.

2:37 am

Lizlin

Sorry for repeating.

2:38 am

grannyrose

i am thinking once she sees the x-rays, she will be a little more gentle with me.

2:38 am

Lizlin

Hope so. No reason why you should suffer.

2:40 am

grannyrose

the box of endone i am currently using was dispensed last june. that's 6 months ago. so 20 tablets have lasted me all that ti4.

2:42 am

Lizlin

Sounds like you're being very careful in your use of them.

2:43 am

Lizlin

Taking a break, Rose. Going cross eyed. Have a great evening. Hugs.

2:43 am

grannyrose

which is why i can't understand why she is so jumpy about my use of it.

2:44 am

grannyrose

you too, liz girl. enjoy your evening

3:01 am

sprite

good morning all :)

3:03 am

sprite

your gp knows how many people become dependent on the endone, rose, and she is very afraid to give it for long term use. She is not used to people who know the risks and can manage their intake to extreme moments of pain.

3:03 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} my darling friend.

3:04 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend. Sorry to have missed you yesterday.

3:04 am

grannyrose

i hope you have had a good night, and that yesterday was kind to you.

3:05 am

sprite

am struggling at the moment, lots of bad nights, lots of pain, low energy.

3:05 am

grannyrose

np's, sprite. i emailed you re x-rays and ultrasound.

3:06 am

grannyrose

sprite, do you think tim's accident has been the trigger?

3:06 am

sprite

yes I read it, rose, will answer email after babble. *hugs* So hip replacements are next, down the line?

3:07 am

grannyrose

the jury is still out on that, sprite....lol

3:07 am

grannyrose

i just wanna be there and hug you, and stand between you and life, hin.

3:08 am

sprite

I have a friend who has had a stance correction, 2 knee replacements and 2 hip replacements. She said the hips were a breeze, after what she suffered with the knees.

3:08 am

sprite

you and me both, rose! Sometimes I am really frustrated we aren't neighbours. Would be so awesome to hop over for a cuppa and lots of hugs.

3:11 am

grannyrose

giggle...the junior technician offered me tissues while his superior confirmed his ( the junior's ) findings.

3:12 am

sprite

aw :( Kind of him, but hell, not fun to be in such pain during examinations.

3:16 am

grannyrose

dinner ready, will be back in about 20 minutes...i have a sneaky suspicion you will still be here.

3:16 am

sprite

most likely, lol. Big grid. Enjoy your dinner, darling.

3:23 am

sprite

oh dear God it is so cold!

3:24 am

sprite

*puts on second sweater*

3:31 am

grannyrose

and back....turn the heating up, for goodness sake.

3:32 am

sprite

too early in the day. I try and postpone it until the family comes home. Saves a tremendous amount of gas.

3:32 am

sprite

I mean fuel.

3:32 am

sprite

Or whatever.

3:33 am

grannyrose

*giggle* my darling....while you are sitting so quietly....TURN THE HEATER ON!! when you are moving around turn it off.

3:34 am

sprite

lol :) I just put on a second layer of extra clothing. I look like the michelin man... your pits-something dough boy. But it is toasty.

3:35 am

grannyrose

okay, sweetie. please don't freeze to death...

3:36 am

grannyrose

where's terra? cuddle him...

3:36 am

sprite

no I won't, don't worry!

3:36 am

sprite

hehehe Terra is at my feet, as usual. Very sweet.

3:36 am

grannyrose

just tuck the toes under him....

3:37 am

sprite

lol! Just tried and he looked up at me with a very disturbed face.

3:38 am

grannyrose

tough.....tuck them under him...

3:39 am

sprite

sorry Terra.... Rose made me do it.... I swear.

3:39 am

grannyrose

lolol....terra wear it, mate.

3:40 am

sprite

lol

3:41 am

sprite

oh rose, I have started knitting again! I have this huge project which is simply too hot to have on my lap in summer. But it is lovely warm now, lol, and I enjoy doing it again so much.

3:42 am

grannyrose

nice, sprite. go for it, hun.

3:42 am

sprite

yeah, after babble and email and laundry and toiletcleaning.

3:43 am

sprite

I feed the dvd player some series and then sit down and knit. Love it.

3:45 am

grannyrose

tomorrow my friend june is coming. she is going to motivate me into doing some gardening. * sigh *

3:45 am

sprite

oh, I think I have a scan of the pattern... let me see if I can send you a picture. Only the picture is in pastel, while I am knitting with a yarn in autumn colours.

3:46 am

sprite

take care of yourself, sweetie. Don't be pushed into more than you can handle physically.

3:47 am

grannyrose

sprite, an hour at the most. my friend knows that. and a few rests in that hour, i promise.

3:48 am

grannyrose

june has seen me at my worst. she knows how much i can take...and is very conscientious about me taking a break.

3:52 am

dizgrannie

diving back into the grid.....91 left and a big day tomorrow.

3:52 am

sprite

3:53 am

4:17 am

Clash of clans

4:18 am

4:19 am

Clash of clans

4:22 am

grannyrose

and wb clash...enjoy your game

4:22 am

rubyfoo

{{rosie}} I read your mail and feel very sorry about your no-cartilage hip. It sounds like mine.

4:22 am

sprite

I am here. Tim is doing remarkably well. Mostly healed up. Sometimes still headaches. And some scarring. But minor compared to what it might have been.

4:23 am

rubyfoo

I will be bACK AFTER LUNCH BUT TODAY IS dil'D LAST DAY AND WE'VE INVITED OTHER FRIENDS TO JOIN US AT sPRITE'S RESTO

4:23 am

grannyrose

xoxox ruby...that was both hips...

4:23 am

rubyfoo

sorry for caps

4:24 am

rubyfoo

Mine is just the left one and it's probably more spine than hip but I certainly understand pain meds

4:24 am

grannyrose

nice ruby....what a lovely plan. i hope you enjoy.

4:25 am

Clash of clans

Sprite, I used to be up really late in the u.k talking about my bad back, ring any bells

4:26 am

vaguely, yes I think so, Clash. How is your back nowadays?

4:28 am

sprite

4:31 am

saanichcat

4:32 am

grannyrose

g'day matty

4:34 am

sprite

lol almost fell asleep on the space bar

4:34 am

grannyrose

ugh, sprite....

4:35 am

sprite

yeah not good, grin. I think I'll start a laundry load. Back in a few.

4:36 am

grannyrose

do it, dear. how long before you get back?

4:41 am

sprite

back

4:44 am

grannyrose

wb dearest

4:45 am

sprite

thank you :) Oh, did I tell you my daughter is being a total pesky teenage atm? So unkind and bitchy, ugh.

4:45 am

grannyrose

clash, saan, matty, ruby??? you all here?

4:45 am

sprite

all sucked in by the grid, lol

4:45 am

grannyrose

ugh, sprite. is it her ti4 of the month?

4:46 am

saanichcat

here lost in the grid

4:46 am

grannyrose

saan, it is a lovely grid....enjoy it.

4:46 am

sprite

if so, she has the same issue as I used to have... periods that last for weeks, lol. No, it is hormones but the teenager ones. She had me close to tears day before yesterday.

4:47 am

sprite

's okay, saan! Nice feeling to be lost in babble.

4:47 am

saanichcat

yes rose, so far it's been fun, began just a while ago

4:47 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, sprite. i am so sorry for your loss.....the loss of your sanity that is.

4:48 am

sprite

what was left of it, anyway, lolllll. Yeah, a whole new world to discover. Teenager girls are so different from teenager boys, aren't they!

4:49 am

grannyrose

absolutely, dearest. google it and be prepared. and poor caya...

4:50 am

sprite

she came down to ask my opinion on her clothes for Xmas at school... a very classy dress with nylons, then (brace yourself) red stockings up to her knees and sneakers.

4:51 am

grannyrose

poor you, poor Rob and poor Tim. they will never know what hit them...

4:51 am

sprite

so... I gave my opinion... then got burned for doing so.

4:51 am

grannyrose

oh, dear...poor you. and of course you want to be honest...

4:51 am

saanichcat

I hope you take lots of pictures sprite, many later laughs!

4:52 am

sprite

Rob and I always have been honest with our kids. I don't want to change that now.

4:52 am

sprite

lol saan, good one

4:52 am

mattygroves

I am here, on and off

4:53 am

grannyrose

maybe ask caya .....do you want my opinion...or the opinion of the fashion guru's?

4:53 am

sprite

real life being demanding your attention, matty? :D

4:54 am

sprite

nah, next time she asks my opinion about her clothes, I will say "nice" and then nothing more. Lol.

4:54 am

grannyrose

sprite...sometimes you need to try and second guess just where your kids want the opinion to come from....i know...hard at the easiest of ti4s.

4:55 am

sprite

well, the problem wasn't with my opinion in itself, the lady declared. It was the fact that I gave it right away, without taking my time to think about it.

4:56 am

rururocks

You just need to invite some bitchy queens over sprite to comment

4:56 am

sprite

oh, good idea, ru! :)

4:56 am

mattygroves

Yeah - real life is a bit demanding at the moment, but that's what happens ;)

4:57 am

grannyrose

whoot!!! g'day ruru. what are you doing up at this hour?

4:57 am

sprite

ain't that the truth, matty, grin

4:58 am

saanichcat

good grief ru, you are up late, hello!

5:00 am

grannyrose

ruru, what ti4 is it? and which day? lolol

5:01 am

sprite

it is noon in france, not that late, lol. I see you have adapted your nationality to one that suits your sleeping pattern, ru ;)

5:02 am

saanichcat

did anyone else have red boxes?

5:02 am

Clash of clans

Sprite, I keep trying neat

5:03 am

sprite

yeah, the server resets at 5 am grid time, saan. The hiccup.

5:03 am

saanichcat

oooh thanks sprite

5:03 am

sprite

it should update now, clash, or try again now. The hiccup ate the word, I think.

5:05 am

sprite

the rankings got updated then... and the game 'hangs' for a few minutes. Chat messages and words are lost in cyberspace.

5:07 am

sprite

fireflies. Last words: the japanese business man/men.

5:07 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

5:08 am

saanichcat

congrats sprite, well done

5:08 am

grannyrose

i hope your day is kind to you sprite. hopefully i will catch you tomorrow at the flip. xoxox

5:10 am

sprite

*hugs* my dear friend! Sleep well. And have lots of fun with your friend tomorrow.

5:10 am

mattygroves

Japanese business men?

5:10 am

I just finished an old favorite the other day; Q Clearance by Peter Benchly, the author of Jaws. Great little story of a low level office drone for the White House . He normally writes speeches for the President, but due to an error in paperwork, he is suddenly bestowed with the highest security clearance available and unwillingly becomes the President's right-hand man.

We are not seeing many dresses around here lately, trif:)

6:49 am

crosshair

Guess the ladies do not wish a minus 20c wind with snow blowing off the bay and up their kilts

6:50 am

Trifioso

my friend actually tease me about my dress affections. I wear them ALL the time - gardening, mowing, whatever. People have to ASK me not to wear them to things like outdoor concerts....but I do what I want. What can I say? I like me a dress

6:51 am

crosshair

If you are in an environment where that can work, go for it, I say:)

6:51 am

Trifioso

but no, I don't think I would like a 20c wind up there crossy

6:52 am

crosshair

thats minus 20 lol. things tend to freeze;)

6:52 am

crosshair

speaking of which, it is time for me to head out and clean off the sleigh.. tc all and happy babbling

6:52 am

Trifioso

I am giggling....I have a few gay friends who refer to that particular area on a woman as a "b*tch whistle" - a rather ghastly term, but it does make a funny visual, when paired with the idea of wind blowing up a skirt....

7:01 am

MollyL

Now see, "whistle" brings to mind male anatomy, not female : D

7:04 am

Trifioso

hahhah.....anyway...that's my free period gone. See you laters, gators!

Hope you enjoyed your 9 1/2 minutes : D

I've seen them up in my neighborhood right after Halloween. I truly don't get that at all.

10:44 am

MLFAN17

i wonder what is wrong with people who actualy do that? i heard you are supposed to keep a tree up until about the 4th or 5 of jan

10:45 am

MLFAN17

ruru decorations were in the stores here right around that time

10:45 am

MollyL

Live trees don't stay fresh that long. The advent of artificial Christmas trees has made people put them up earlier.

10:46 am

aslindy

Yes... found out cat Sunny is diabetic, started insulin shots and changed his diet - turns out diet was enough so we had to stop shots. Dog Raven injured his leg, but today he's much better.

10:47 am

MLFAN17

exactly why i wondered hwo that could be with trees having to stay up that long? I dont know many who do real trees anymore

10:48 am

MollyL

Our tree comes down New Years Day

10:48 am

rururocks

out with the de5's and in with the saints I guess molly

10:49 am

MLFAN17

i think thats when most people take them down

10:49 am

MollyL

I've noticed a lot more outdoor lights this year. For a while there, it seemed like people had quit putting them up.

10:50 am

rururocks

one of my neighbors goes all out on xmas lights

10:50 am

MLFAN17

and some put them out later and later into december and take them down right away

10:51 am

helensgirlkid

Lots of LED options for outdoor lights now - I think that's brought a lot of people back to it,

10:52 am

MollyL

People have gotten so lazy about everything. Outdoor lights take some work.

11:49 am

zoozzoom

MLFAN17

marilyn992

348

12:50 pm

Poppers

Thank you!

12:50 pm

MollyL

I disagree with the definition for bo5/14 given next to the word. It's a place where they rent slips for the night, not a ship that functions as a Holiday Inn.

12:51 pm

marilyn992

i read it as being a clue rather than a definition

12:52 pm

MollyL

I wasn't talking about Nan's clue. I was talking about the definition given next to the word.

12:53 pm

cybernan

there is a bo 5/14 in the historic district of Sacramento. It is an old paddle wheeler that acts as an inn.

12:54 pm

MollyL

Maybe it's both then Nan. The people I know who have boats use the word in the other way.

12:55 pm

crosshair

if mo-tel is short for motor hotel, bo-tel does work as a boat motel

12:55 pm

cybernan

mmm - had a look at the new icon, molly -- guess it's time to change mine!

12:56 pm

cybernan

anyone have a clue for the mo 8, please?

12:57 pm

cybernan

are you looking for a serving of chocolate cake, liqueur or something, crossy?

12:58 pm

crosshair

no..why?

12:58 pm

MollyL

mo8...starts like French for high peak, ends like Mr. Urban of country music

12:59 pm

cybernan

12:59 pm

crosshair

1:03 pm

crosshair

It is a great micro-brewery:)

1:03 pm

cybernan

the others would have for most people too -- I just have never been into country or rock music

1:04 pm

1:06 pm

1:07 pm

crosshair

1:07 pm

crosshair

1:07 pm

MollyL

I was only half betting the name clues would go over. I figured the punch bowl would be a true shot in the dark.

1:09 pm

cybernan

so many words I've never heard of before!

1:09 pm

cybernan

Don't what I would do without a list on this one

1:10 pm

MollyL

Yes, and if I'm going to learn new words, I would prefer they be words I can use (without being looked at in a funny way)

1:11 pm

crosshair

They pulled all the buses and cabs off the road today:( Had to ferry a few people home when they closed the school... I love winter:)

1:11 pm

cybernan

getting a blizzard, crossy?

1:12 pm

crosshair

got about a foot and a half since this morning, but it is the wind off the bay whipping up snow drifts that is the real problem

1:12 pm

cybernan

dare I mention that it is over cast but 6C here this morning?

1:13 pm

crosshair

You can mention it. Crossy is having fun playing in the snow:)

1:13 pm

cybernan

1:15 pm

Can I use you all as a thesaurus? I need a word to describe someone who has apologised for causing uncomfortable situation by getting offended at someones comment and then leaving for a while - and then apologising the next day.

9:13 pm

licketySplitAUS

Something like - being brave, but honest

9:15 pm

MLFAN17

HA 5/16 clue please?

9:16 pm

MLFAN17

is that for me maggie?

9:17 pm

licketySplitAUS

Someone apologised to me (as I was a witness) and I want to say something, but want to use the right words, so do I say : "Yes, you were a mercurial hot head, but that is who you are."

9:17 pm

maggiej

no mlfam

9:17 pm

welki

'course then someone else would get offended and have to apologize the next day for causing an uncomfortable situation :D

9:17 pm

maggiej

change last letter of 5/12 above it

9:17 pm

MLFAN17

can anyone help with a clue please?

9:18 pm

maggiej

to a sometimes vowel

9:18 pm

maggiej

9:19 pm

licketySplitAUS

This is what I was sent : " Was a good night last night apart from the small H/D incident. Apologies for that. I reacted badly to H's comment, rightly or wrongly."

9:21 pm

welki

then just say, 'thanks for apologising,' and add some platitude if you feel you need to

9:21 pm

MLFAN17

EM7?

9:22 pm

welki

or just, 'you don't need to apologize to me, but thanks just the same'

9:23 pm

welki

em7 = ***ty nesters + cans

9:23 pm

licketySplitAUS

Welki - well it was an uncomforatble situation for me for a little while.

9:23 pm

licketySplitAUS

Maybe something like : "Yes it was uncomfortable, hopefully it won't happen again."

9:24 pm

licketySplitAUS

"but thank you for apologising"

9:24 pm

licketySplitAUS

Thanks for the sound board, I gotta go - learn how to spell

Dorens

parents were not at all religious. we liked the look and smell. think about it.. back to the celebration of solstice... i maintain they are not religious. of course if we had an angel on tip (instead of the capiz shell star i have) and mangers , etc.. it would be religious.
