good morning all
4:09 am
grannyrose

{{hugs}} my darling sprite. i hope you have had a good night, my darling. how is rob today?
4:10 am
sprite

he is feeling totally rotten. My night was okayish, but I don't feel up to orchestrating the whole Xmas dinner by myself. I think I will postpone it, sigh.
4:11 am
grannyrose

nothing wrong with a postponement dearest.
4:12 am
sprite

true, dat. But I feel there is a difference between doing a Xmas dinner the day after Xmas, and doing it a month later.
4:12 am
grannyrose

hin...let it go sweetie.
4:12 am
sprite

yes I will. Thanks :) How are you today?
4:15 am
grannyrose

stuffing plum pudding into my face as we speak....lol
4:16 am
sprite

*grin* that sounds tasty. But that does not answer my question at all.
4:16 am
grannyrose

if i wasn't well, i wouldn't be eating...duh!!...lolol
4:17 am
sprite

details, lady, details. Pain level, activity radius, emotional state, behaviour of man and manary. Give!
4:18 am
grannyrose

*snort* christmas pud all over the room.
4:18 am
sprite

:D
4:20 am
grannyrose

pain manageable, no endone needed, have spent most of the day seated, feeling pretty good emotionally(so long as i don't think of eldest son)...my man is an angel in disguise...manary has gone to bed. enough detail??
4:22 am
sprite

yeah :D Wtg on not needing the endone. I know how frustrating it is to not be able to do what you want to, but you managed! Don't think of the little lost boy inside the man's body, he has to fight his own battles now. Don rocks, and yay for a sleeping manary, grin. *hugs* for you.
4:24 am
grannyrose

i will email on the latest of eldest's antics. i have decided that he is not a very nice person...and as such i do not need him in my life...despite a grandchild i will probably never see.
4:25 am
sprite

ok sweetie, am so so sorry to hear the guy is still being a jerk. Yeah, you really don't need anyone in your life who makes you feel so sad and hurt. Too bad he doesn't realise what a blessing you are in someone's life.
4:27 am
grannyrose

sprite, i only offered him an opening because i was told his de facto wanted me in her and sophia's life. and he has responded with threats and menaces...and besides...telling me my out-laws are genuinely nice people...for goodness sake.
4:28 am
sprite

your out-laws?
4:29 am
grannyrose

my ex's parents. the ones who walked out while their son had a strangle hold around their grandson's throat.
4:30 am
sprite

oh, those guys! Oh yes, genuinely nice people. So caring. Producing such lovely offspring too. I am totally with that.
4:30 am
grannyrose

my heart aches for my son....they are so going to let him down yet again....
4:31 am
sprite

yes, and apparently he needs to go through that again. God will keep on offering learning situations until a lesson is learned... it is out of your hands now, my darling friend. High time to start protecting yourself from his poison.
4:33 am
grannyrose

that's what i thought also. as i said, i will email you with all the words...what i sent and his response. if i am out of line, please tell me...at the moment i feel very threatened.
4:35 am
sprite

knowing you, you did all the right things. But you cannot be responsible for how they are received. That man needs to have his behind kicked. By a camel.
4:37 am
grannyrose

sprite, i am afraid his father has filled him such a lot of garbage, as well as the heads of his two brothers. they are not responding to the rubbish, but as he has never taken on board all the counselling form the pro's his mind was open to all sorts of poison.
4:39 am
sprite

in the end, sweetie, it is his choice. If he prefers the poison over the love, there is nothing you can do. Let him go, he has to travel his own painful path. You have done all you can for him.
4:40 am
grannyrose

it is well known...his father expressed utmost contempt for me...but i think the fact he called his second wife by my name constantly shows me my ex never let me go.
4:42 am
sprite

lolllll oh that is rich. Yeah, that definitely shows how he holds on to you. Looking forward to reading your email, and will get back to you about it.
4:42 am
grannyrose

thanx dear friend. i value your opinion as always..
4:43 am
sprite

*grin* Yeah, everybody has a right to my opinion.
4:43 am
grannyrose

roflolo....don just said do we have to go to church again tomorrow. and i am....well, yeah, it's sunday. and he said wasn't it saturday and sunday the last two days?
4:45 am
sprite

lollllll yep it kinda was, Don. And now you get to do it all over again... except for the festive dinner.
4:45 am
grannyrose

*sigh* i so loooove chatting with you.
4:46 am
sprite

it is mutual :)
4:46 am
sprite

ooo I need to tell you about my girl... she can be so funny
4:47 am
sprite

she was at work, and had to tell her boss that she would fill in for a co-worker. But she had forgotten the co-worker's name..
4:47 am
grannyrose

oh, lolol...don says he is confused enough without going to church mid-week.
4:47 am
grannyrose

ooh...spill girl
4:47 am
sprite

and she felt it would be painful to ask right out and let him know she didn't remember his name...
4:48 am
grannyrose

oh, no...
4:48 am
sprite

so she said, semi casual, to him: "How do I spell your name again?"
And the guy just looked at her and said: "My name is Sander."
4:49 am
grannyrose

oh, i feel her shame
4:49 am
pippingeek

ouch
4:50 am
sprite

hey pippin :) Yeah, that was ouch. She handled it well though.
4:50 am
grannyrose

dear, oh, dear, oh, dear
4:51 am

how are you delightful ladies this morning?
4:51 am

4:51 am

all good here, thanks pippin! And how are you today?
4:52 am
pippingeek

should be my last day of statistics, so that will bring much gratitude and a little play and relaxation
4:52 am
sprite

ah good! Well earned.
4:52 am
grannyrose

tomorrow is sunday for me....the best day of the week for me.
4:53 am
pippingeek

it's been a tough 3 weeks, but i have accomplished something darn near superhuman with this course
4:53 am
pippingeek

that's always a pleasure, granny
4:53 am

g'day pippin, xoxox
4:53 am

wtg pippin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4:54 am
pippingeek

:)
4:54 am
grannyrose

pippin, may i ask? statistics on what? for who?
4:55 am
pippingeek

i've applied for Physician Assistant school and it's a pre-requisite, so it's stats for health professionals
4:55 am
sprite

wow awesome.
4:56 am
grannyrose

sounds complicated...in which case...wtg pippin!!!!!!!!!!
4:57 am
grannyrose

so what sort of stats did you have to collate?
4:57 am
sprite

fireflies
4:57 am
pippingeek

well done sprite!
4:57 am
grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!
4:58 am
sprite

am sorry to leave you guys, but I have to go. Keeping things running while hubby is ill is time- and energy consuming. *hugs* dear ladies. May you have a blessed day and a peaceful night.
4:59 am
grannyrose

xoxox my dear and lots of gentle cuddles. hold on sweetie. small steps...and lots of rest.
4:59 am
sprite

will do. You too :)
4:59 am
grannyrose

yup. will email you tomorrow.
5:03 am
pippingeek

ah, tea steeping. that will make things nicer for the day
5:08 am
grannyrose

nothing like a well-brewed cuppa, pippin
5:09 am
pippingeek

my friend gave me packets of thai tea for christmas, and with sweetened condensed milk it's like i died and went to heaven it's so good
5:09 am
pippingeek

don't have time to have it on work days, so i'm enjoying it on the days off
5:09 am
grannyrose

what sort of tea, pippin?
5:10 am
pippingeek

i don't really know what goes into classic thai tea but it brews dark orange and smells very sweet, it's extra fragrant
5:10 am
pippingeek

i'm sure the base itself is good old black tea
5:11 am
grannyrose

hmmm, sounds like my type of cuppa. aha... a black tea. any name on the packet?
5:12 am
pippingeek

it just says "thai tea" - he got it at Bed Bath & Beyond. It's definitely a style of tea, lemme see if i can look it up for you
5:13 am
grannyrose

on google it says a black ceylonese type of tea.
5:14 am
grannyrose

there is an iced tea recipe, a thai milk tea.
5:14 am
pippingeek

yes, wikipedia went into some of the other ingredients and styles of serving it
5:15 am
pippingeek

kitty wants to help with the grid. has crawled into my lap and now i cannot see the keyboard
5:16 am
grannyrose

okay...i need to check it out...we have a Bed Bath and Table. i am hoping it is a simimlar store.
5:16 am
pippingeek

good thing i can mostly touch type
5:16 am
pippingeek

sounds like the kind of place that sells just about everything? that what ours is...
5:19 am
grannyrose

a sort of specialised everything, pippin
5:20 am
pippingeek

sounds good, i am a fan of housewares, they never fail to make me happy
5:20 am
grannyrose

with you my dear. in my store the quality is top notch.
5:21 am
pippingeek

yes, ours as well, plus all the kitchen gadgets a girl could want
5:21 am
grannyrose

DH cannot understand my wanting to spend a little extra to get a better quality.
5:22 am
grannyrose

mind you...himself...is a tight-fisted scotsman....
5:22 am
pippingeek

but it lasts longer and gives you so much more pleasure to use when it works properly or is designed elegantly
5:23 am
pippingeek

i am undeniably frugal -- i've had to be, because i've been quite poor and renting beyond my means, but i am a firm believer in paying for quality
5:24 am
pippingeek

oh look at me finding the 7 letter word!
5:24 am
grannyrose

lolol....pippin...exactly how i think. he is forever carrying on because something has broken or fallen apart.
5:25 am
pippingeek

and I would always rather buy $100-200 shoes than $40 shoes, because I won't have to replace them in 6 months, and I will have them for years and years
5:25 am
grannyrose

he simply cannot undestand what you get is what you have paid for.
5:26 am
pippingeek

plus then I have really nice shoes that feel good and make me happy to wear them, and that counts more than people understand
5:26 am
pippingeek

besides, when you have to save for a really nice item, it means that much more
5:26 am
grannyrose

he keeps buying cheap tools, and when they do not perform to his expectations, he chucks a wobbly.
5:27 am
pippingeek

there's a place for cheap stuff - but it's certainly not in the toolbox
5:27 am
grannyrose

so agree, pippin
5:29 am
grannyrose

okay...it's now 10:30pm. goodnight, pippin. hope your day is kind to you, dear.
5:29 am
pippingeek

i want to get up and get my tea, but my cat is so happy draped across my lap I haven't the heart to move her
5:29 am

ski tourism is a love/hate thing anyways; we charge them big bucks to ski, and add on what we think it will cost to fix everything once the citiots are done destroying it... I once had to help fix a chalet that was destroyed to the tune of $30,000.00. Will never forget that:)
7:01 am

I had to laugh, we had rain here and it snowed in Hawaii.

We have one interesting wetland preserve here. We rescued it from a developer who wanted to put in a golf course. The great thing is that it contains, of all things, a rare species of turtle. The kicker is that the entire thing is not open to the public--ever.
7:07 am

You may apply for a permit to go in for research and documentation, but that is it.

we've changed his diet to one that is allergy sensitive, am giving him salmon oil supplements, have medicine for flare ups (which is fine, except i don't want to keep him on them continuously) - and he takes benadryl. don't know what else we can do :(

welki, we see kids with horrible atopic dermatitis. Underlying cause is usually food allergies.

The first clue worked. I never heard of mojitos

do la5 and 6 go together?
9:09 am

at this point, i don't know what food it could be - we've limited his diet to kibble with restricted ingredients

they used to slather me down in a crisco like cream here called eucerin... I was extremely atopic as a kid.
9:10 am

9:12 am
kje

wow, prednisone doesn't shut it down?
9:12 am
welki

probably bothers us more than him, but i'd hate to think he's uncomfortable
9:12 am
welki

it does, but very temporarily
9:12 am
kje

then I would question the diagnosis... does he have some other skin condition, cuz prednisone should shut down an allergy flare
9:13 am
Scrabbler

Mange?
9:13 am
welki

no, not mange
9:13 am
welki

not scabies
9:13 am
kje

if it doesn't seem to bother him, I would let it go, I think... the side effects of all those meds aren't pleasant either
9:14 am
Scrabbler

Do dogs get autoimmune problems? Psoriasis?
9:14 am
kje

yes, they can get most conditions humans can, at least similar ones
9:14 am
kje

poor puppy
9:14 am
welki

yes, they do - this isn't psoraisis either, though
9:15 am
welki

and he's such a big goofball - whatever it is, i sure am glad it's not contagious and he's not shared it with our other dog
9:16 am
kje

well, I will say as a kid, that my rashes looked worse than they felt. Maybe bc I was just used to them? I don't know, but the eucerin can shut a lot of it down (dry skin exacerbates atopic conditions and scratching), and topical steroids when needed. But I really don't remember them slowing me down much
9:16 am
welki

i think ru's dylan has it worse than my dog

Argh. You can have wampish but not wamp. Surely wamp should mean a dangle or a flop.

11:48 am
rubyfoo

tough day today. Husband opened the big gate accidentally while I was running errands and both dogs ran off. It was our first snow so at least cars were going slowly
11:49 am
crosshair

Dont know. I sometime vebally mis-label things and it is frustrating
11:49 am

11:49 am

It took more than a slushy half hour to round them up. AAArghh
11:49 am
rubyfoo

hello hego
11:49 am
hego

Glad you got them back Ruby.
11:49 am
crosshair

It is like my mind is going 1000 miles and hour and I am tripping over words trying to get them out correctly... a writers issue i suppose lol
11:49 am
rubyfoo

It was horrible and pretty much ruined my day
11:49 am
hego

Heck, Crossy I do that all the time.
11:50 am
hego

Sorry Ruby.
11:50 am
crosshair

Have to slow my mind down:)
11:50 am
hego

Yes
11:50 am

he let one dog out the other days as well as I recall
11:50 am

Breathe, Crossy, breathe!

this was worse but, fortunately, Rufie came back on his own and Raffie stayed in (distant) sight of the house
11:51 am

I should take up meditation:)
11:51 am
hego

good idea!
11:52 am

Poor Ruby.
11:52 am

Actually a good tequila bender will do the same thing:)))
11:55 am
rururocks

ha.. ruby.. it was really good. I was happy to be out of the house doing something else
11:55 am
hego

What about the after effects Crossy?
11:55 am
hego

Ruru dines well.
11:55 am
rubyfoo

I remember those, crossy
11:56 am
rururocks

I have my bubbly picked out for New Years
11:57 am
crosshair

lol,hego. I do not get after effects any more. Tis one of the reasons i tapered off. As long as you are still capable of getting a hangover, you are basically still ok
11:57 am
rururocks

I gave up on benders in High School :D
11:57 am

I'll bet you do. :)
11:58 am

11:58 am

Have some champers laid in for New years eve and that is about it:)
11:58 am
hego

I'm basically a wine only person anymore.
11:58 am
hego

I avoid New Year tv.
11:58 am
rururocks

I had a small glass of cognac last night.. was really yummy
11:58 am
rubyfoo

sadly, red wine gives me a headache. I miss it
11:59 am
crosshair

Who is kathy Griffin, and why is she a coke-head? lol
11:59 am
hego

I do like brandy once in a while.
11:59 am
rururocks

if you took a Benadryl about a half hour before red wine ruby you might not get a headache
11:59 am
hego

Crossy, believe me, you don't care.
11:59 am
rubyfoo

that would conter the tannin? I'll try it
11:59 am
rururocks

the histamines
11:59 am
hego

good tip Ruru.
12:00 pm
rubyfoo

I thought that Benadryl + alcohol was lethal
12:00 pm
hego

Someone gave me a nice chianti for a gift.
12:00 pm
rururocks

yeah if you drink the whole bottle .. just try a small half glass to start
12:00 pm
rururocks

ohh. I love Chianti
12:00 pm
rubyfoo

my Sicilian friend gave me a bottle of coffee liqueur which is Molto Bene!
12:00 pm
hego

I doubt that Ruby. Might make you sleepy though.
12:01 pm
hego

anice docg bottle.
12:01 pm

I should get a giant bottle of Absinthe and start writing a new book. lol
12:01 pm
rururocks

who is the Chianti producer hego?
12:01 pm
hego

I'll look
12:02 pm
hego

It's a Babfi riserva 2010
12:02 pm
hego

Banfi
12:03 pm
rururocks

solid wine.. I love the Banfi Brunellos too.. they're yummy
12:03 pm
rubyfoo

my favorite wines are white Burgundies, but my husband doesn't drink wine any more
12:03 pm
hego

Brunellos are special.
12:04 pm
rururocks

I love white burgundies too ruby
12:05 pm
rururocks

with a husband like yours I wouldn't have any trouble having a couple glasses of wine though
12:05 pm
crosshair

Wine is a waste on me. It is like feeding a pig a strawberry. lol
12:05 pm
rubyfoo

actually, that sounds like a good idea. On |Monday, I'm buying MYSELF some Puilly Fume and some Corton-Charlemgne
12:06 pm
hego

you need to develop a taste for wine crossy. It's worth it.
12:06 pm
rururocks

could be I guess
12:06 pm
rururocks

pouilly Fume is sauvignon Blanc though ruby
12:07 pm
rubyfoo

I didn't remember, ru, it's been so long
12:07 pm
rururocks

I bet Corton Charlemagne is much cheaper in France than here
12:07 pm
rururocks

Pouilly Fuisse is a white burgundy
12:07 pm
hego

That is a nice one.
12:07 pm
rubyfoo

Do you know anything about which years would be good? I'm ready to splurge, since it's just for me!
12:08 pm
rururocks

2010, 2013 are both great years
12:08 pm
hego

Enjoy, Ruby.
12:08 pm
rururocks

skip 2011 and 2012
12:08 pm
hego

You're such a great resource Ru.
12:08 pm
rubyfoo

I'll let you know what I find
12:09 pm
rururocks

for Pouilly Fuisse.. you'd be better off buying a nice Macon Villages or St Veran.. same quality in most cases and a lot less money
12:09 pm
rururocks

I recommend Verget (guffens Heynen) as the best in Pouilly
12:09 pm
rubyfoo

some years ago I had a friend who would always get us Chateau Margot, 1970 (I think), with our dinners
12:10 pm
rubyfoo

I forgot about St.Veran. I used to drink that, too
12:10 pm
rururocks

nice friend
12:11 pm
rubyfoo

waonderful with a T-bone
12:11 pm
rururocks

I love St Veran.. as much as Pouilly. YOu might also try to find the Heritiers de Lafon Macon Village wines.. they are extraordinary and really reasonable
12:11 pm
hego

now, that's a friend!!
12:11 pm
rubyfoo

I am writing all this down.
12:11 pm
hego

A friend with Bordeaux is a friend indeed!
12:12 pm
rubyfoo

Yes, hego, he was quite a friend!
12:12 pm
hego

:)
12:12 pm
rururocks

for Corton Charlemagne.. My faves are Tollot Beaut and Coche Dury (although Coche is now priced out of this world).. Bonneau du Martray is also a solid and reasonable Corton-Charlemagne
12:12 pm
rubyfoo

I almost married a Frenchman some years ago and when I spent 3 weeks with him, he brought me a different wine and a different cheese every day
12:12 pm
rururocks

2010 Bonneau du Martray is superb
12:13 pm
hego

And you didn't marry him?
12:13 pm
rururocks

oh sounds like he didn't cut the cheese ruby :D
12:13 pm
rubyfoo

Almost with the Frenchman, but his mother got in the way
12:14 pm
hego

too bad
12:14 pm

I was a long time between husbands.....

12:20 pm
rururocks

it's like South Park On heavy doses of Prozac
12:21 pm
rubyfoo

For a short while they showed South Park here but I think it was too profane for French TV (although they do show Ray Donovan, with sanitized subtitle)
12:21 pm
rururocks

i'm not a cartoon type guy.. so I never really watch shows like that
12:22 pm
rubyfoo

South Park was nasty and funny, skewered all the stereotypes.
12:23 pm
rururocks

never really watched it to be honest
12:24 pm
rururocks

I did see their Book Of Mormon show and liked that on Broadway
12:24 pm

tough humor, not for the faint of heart
12:25 pm

yeah.. I get that.. that's my understanding of it too

apparently we are! good thing you noticed. Last time she got mad at me it took her 4 years to get over it and I missed seeing the grandkids. At least if that happens again they won't approach me for money again for 4 years. I like to find the good side , Pollyanna that I am

I have a virus, I think -- so not getting much done today. Feeling better now the tylenol is working -- "warming" up to make some review worksheets for my kiddos. I just checked, and we have actually introduced all the basic skills they are supposed to learn by the end of January, but now I need to reinforce and extend. *proud teacher look*
5:23 pm
Bugsaw

We had a lot of fun yesterday and especially last night when she disappeared.
5:24 pm

*hugs* Bugs, I know about making the best of it (we save SO much money now that one child no longer lives at home), but I also know it makes a mama's heart sad. I will hope that healing will come faster this time.

Matthew has said he will come to school with me tomorrow, so glad he wants to help. I need to wash the boards, rearrange desks and computers, and put up some bulletin boards. Found some snowman wrapping paper to use as backer -- think it will be fun for the kids. I want to showcase some of their math work on the doors to the cabinets. Set theory for multiplication makes for some amazing graphics!

Oh! and BIG NEWS (sort of) I decided to join the orchestra that Mother and Grant play in. I think I can do some percussion, and Grant will teach me how to play the trombone and violin so I can help out some. Have to get the violin fixed, though, two of the keys slip so it doesn't keep tune.
5:29 pm

that is big news! well done

I played tenor drums in a pipe band for a while when Thomas was a snare drummer. I was fun to be flamboyant.

sorry. Mr Bugs was talking to me me and I have to say every thinkg 3 times before it all makes it thru the deafness. He is gone and I am back

Sorry his hearing is fading... I like talking with him. He has good ideas.

I played board games with my kids a lot when they were little so they could learn to take turns and because we didn't have a lot of money. Young ones today just entertain themselves on machines. When the older boy, his girlfriend and I started playing Scrabble and sounding like we were having fun (because it was) the little ones came out and got involved too. It was the best night.
5:35 pm
stidmama

Scrabble is fun! We played Catan with Grant and his GF last night, and that was fun, too. I almost won...
5:37 pm
Bugsaw

I started out well but faded. Little Charlie was being the scorekeeper for us and he kept putting his hand on my shoulder to comfort me when he saw his old Grandmas was loosing. Uncle and Zoe did not get that treatment when they were loosing. It was hilarious.
5:37 pm
stidmama

rofl, what a great kid!
5:38 pm
Bugsaw

I should look oup Catan. We only have Scrabblel, Risk and Monopoly left for groups and now the kids know what fun it can be at my house I hope they come back.
5:39 pm
stidmama

oooh. FW!
5:40 pm

Catan is a fun game with possibilities to expand. Takes about 45 minutes to an hour for a standard game. catan.com if you are interested

Problem was that they didn't tell me they were coming for more than the day so there weren't enough beds for them all. I suppose I was supposed to put them up in a hotel but I had no money left for that. The kids all wanted to sleep in the van but Mum wouldn't let them and she wasn't happy out there hereself.
5:42 pm
Bugsaw

There lots of ways to solve the problem and they didn't try one of them!
5:42 pm
stidmama

that's rough -- we won't be overnight guest ready until next summer, I think, now that we have all the boxes from the storage locker on top of the ones from the fire. We have an air mattress, but Tom's office and mine are pretty cluttered, too much for guests!
5:46 pm
stidmama

We had Tom's parents here one night this last year, but they weren't really comfortable. Next time they come, we WILL put them up in a hotel, and maybe they will stay a little longer. I like having them visit, but they tend to go see all their other kids rather than us. And when I have time off to travel, they aren't at home! LOL
5:46 pm
Bugsaw

We have 2 double beds, a twin mattress and two couches. The couples were offered the double beds, and the 3 kids (one is 19 so they would have been safe) all wanted to sleep in the van in the driveway when I offered it. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to offer it so she just told the 3 kids to take over the office which was fine with me. I thought she had talked to her kids and worked out something that worked. Who knew.
5:50 pm
stidmama

*rolling eyes* That's rough. Bad when people won't communicate.
5:52 pm
Bugsaw

This morning when she got up scowled and snarled at everyone until we were all sure she was really mad, (imagine a spoiled 4 year old who would be told to go settle down for a while and come back when she was civil), she gathered up her poor husband and kids and left in a huff.
5:53 pm
Bugsaw

He has to drive so my poor kid puts up with it. Sad thing it is often his turn to be the pouting 4 year old having a fit so it is the kids who suffer.

thanks for listening so it is out of my system. Mr Bugs is looking for things they might have stolen. He has never seen any one behave like that before. I have 2 words so have a lovely day.

I can help if you like?
5:59 pm
stidmama

My heart is sad for you, Bugs -- I know too well what it is like to deal with difficult family members.
5:59 pm
Bugsaw

ap word escapes me.
6:00 pm
Bugsaw

I know you do. And you know what it is like when you do so much for them, don't hear a thank you and then get the treatment. I think that is one reason why we feel like another version of our own selves when we are together. It is such a lovely feeling.
6:02 pm
Bugsaw

I think ho4/9 is a farm house? (Read Arthur Ransome)
11:03 pm
stidmama

hello roundbarn! long time no see
11:05 pm
arleneehm

according to the dictionary, it can be a hollow or the hold of a ship. (as she checks to makes sure the words aren't in the puzzle).....
11:05 pm
RoundBarn

I usually lurk--usually take a half hour eating my breakfast. Then get to work--I have to finish Vol 4 then can breathe again! Thanks for the greeting, Stidmama. I have watched your house situation over the last year or two.

safe there, arlene

I think the hollow does it--the Swallows in Swallows and Amazons lived at Holly Ho4.

nope, not much. Was pricing fencing today... wishing and hoping. *sigh* I don't have the budget even for budget fencing yet.
11:12 pm
jesdraggon

yeah; tough to put in fence in the cold anyway
11:13 pm
stidmama

well, not so cold here, but yes, not a lot of fun in the soggy season
11:13 pm
stidmama

How is the season up your way, arlene? It has been unseasonably warm and dry for the Puget Sound/Salish Sea region.
11:15 pm

hoovering around 32F, today dropped down to around 20F with some flurries.... not too bad.

any clues for the 6s?
11:25 pm
stidmama

my last word was the LA 7, the penultimate word for me was the AP 6.
11:26 pm
stidmama

ap 6/21 -- a sleep-breathing disorder, spelled the British way
11:26 pm
jesdraggon

last word was yo4/10
11:26 pm
stidmama

LA 6 is plural of the LA 5 girl name
11:27 pm
stidmama

that is a latin plural, btw
11:27 pm
arleneehm

would not have gotten that one, and I have it
11:27 pm
stidmama

feeling sad about the AirAsia flight that has gone missing -- seems like too many planes are going down in that general region
11:28 pm
mkg

ty for ap. got it. still searching for la 6.
11:29 pm
stidmama

go mkg go!
11:29 pm
arleneehm

haven't seen the news lately... it's too depressing seeing people pulling religion and race as reasons to be crooks

dont have la 5 girls name.

i need words for the two A's on bottom row. have none of those words yet. ty.
11:31 pm

wait a sec...........religion as reasons to be crooks? i dont mind that as much as the murdering for religion that goes on.
11:31 pm
arleneehm

ok, just the a's
11:31 pm
mkg

do you know that in the entire muslim world you can be murdered for being gay?
11:31 pm
arleneehm

thanks for the l's
11:31 pm
mkg

thats one example of what i think is horrible.
11:33 pm
arleneehm

murder is a crime.... and I don't particularly think that using religion as your excuse to do so is valid.
11:34 pm
stidmama

yes, jes -- it's on CNN and BBC
11:35 pm
mkg

arlene i totally agree.
11:35 pm
mkg

the ten commandments says thou shalt not murder.
11:36 pm
mkg

so how can any religion coming from the old testament, which includes christianity and islam as well as judiasm, profess that murder is permissible for any reason other than self defense?
11:38 pm
jesdraggon

have you read the bible, mkg? god kills people for all kinds of things all the freaking time in that book!
11:39 pm
jesdraggon

religion can justify killing people any time they want.
11:40 pm
arleneehm

so not going there - God is not mankind, so he/she/it get's do whatever it wants. .. it's very much a case of "Do what I say, not what I do."
11:41 pm
arleneehm

and to et bac kto the origianl thought, I'm sorry that another plane had gone down somewhere. I realy hope that it gets found, and the peole are as ok as they can be.
11:41 pm
arleneehm

3 words left, hopefully I spell them better than I just did
11:42 pm
stidmama

I am going to wander out -- unless someone wants a clue? Didn't mean to start such an intense discussion... just feeling sad about all those people who are not accounted for, their families must be so frantic.
11:42 pm

have a great night mama. I didn't mean to escalate it either.
11:44 pm

not as long a flight/over as deep ocean as the missing malaysia air flight ... hope they find it.
