i have the funniest story to tell. the other night a wood-beetle found it's way into our sitting ar4 and climbed up onto the little table where i have my laptop. i screamed, and pushed the table away from me. when i looked over at don, he was sitting, pedalling his feet in the air....saying what, what?
12:38 am

2:32 am
worzel

OMG I just had a flashback to the mid 80s then! When you said sausages I remember watching Neighbours in the mid 80s and they talked about snags and as soon as I saw sausages I remembered lol. Haven't watched Neighbours for about 25 years!!

hey worzel
2:58 am
sprite

ah, progress was made, rose :) Glad you slept better. That is where the healing starts. And yeah, it takes a couple of days to bounce back from overtaxing and overstressing like that. Alas.
2:58 am
sprite

how've you been, worzel?
2:58 am
worzel

Not too bad thanx and yourself?
2:59 am

*giggles* No I had not, but have now. Your knight in shining armour, huh...
3:04 am
grannyrose

sprite, it was so funny. i don't know if you have wood-beetles over there. just think of a cockroach on steroids. this bug was a big as my thumb.
3:04 am
sprite

oh jeezzz for real... un7/52? Is that the same thing as blacken??
3:05 am
grannyrose

*giggle* wait until you find the at7....i nearly fainted.
3:07 am
sprite

we do have wood beetles. They are big, indeed, and they make so much noise too.
3:07 am
grannyrose

not as much as me screaming...lol
3:08 am
sprite

hehehehe. Am checking images now... wondering if it is the beetle we call 'flying deer' here. Or the normal 'houtkever'
3:11 am
sprite

ok, my biology knowledge is not enough to know for sure. But yeah, BIG beetles. Not really scary but if you don't see them coming, they make you jump :)
3:12 am
grannyrose

sorry, googling frantically....cannot find a pic of this particular beetle. don calls them wood beetles...
3:14 am

rose, this is the 'flying deer' : http://tinyurl.com/mq9m28d

flat footed wood runner...don just found it
3:18 am

i looked at your link...that is what we call a stag horn beetle
3:18 am

found at7... a state of freedom from emotional disturbance and anxiety; tranquillity... I knew that word.
3:18 am

ok checking
3:19 am
grannyrose

how could you know that would....seeing as we both spend a major part of our nights/days in an opposite state...lol
3:20 am
sprite

lol yes... something to wish for, grin
3:21 am
sprite

nope, totally different species, but about as big and noisy. I don't blame you for jumping a mile high. Nor Don for being scared of your reaction ;)
3:21 am
grannyrose

aha....they ARE a part of the cockroach family.....yuck, yuck, yuck
3:21 am
sprite

in New Zealand they call it the Gisborne cockroach.
3:23 am
grannyrose

okay....have definitely decided....no more bug pictures
3:24 am
sprite

hahahahaha especially not just before bed. You'll dream of a 2-hands long cockroach tickling you with its feelers...
3:26 am

omdg no... construction work going on in the house next to ours... we share a wall with them. Such noise.
3:26 am

3:27 am
grannyrose

poor sprite....is there somewhere you can go? like a library?
3:28 am
sprite

yeah but not for a whole day. Can't sit that long. Ugh. And it looks like they will work on more houses in our block too. They are getting new windows and ummm whaddayacallums... the things into which the windows fit.
3:29 am
grannyrose

window frames?
3:30 am
sprite

rrrrright! Window frames. There is a whole bunch of them sitting on our parking ar4. More than would fit in one house.
3:30 am

ah well. What cannot be helped, should be complained about, right?
3:31 am

don's bro gave us a large boxful of low-sugar sweets for christmas. we are sampling some tonight. don is checking each packet to see how much we can eat....
3:35 am
sprite

oh rose, I didn't tell you yet... we found a very very cheap dish washer in the thriftshop where we got the microwave. We decided to take it home and give it a good place to live. Our kids are over the moon.
3:36 am
sprite

aw good man Don!
3:37 am
grannyrose

yay, sprite....what tremendous news. now the kids have something new to fight about...like whose turn it is to load the wretched thing, and whose turn it is to empty it...
3:38 am
grannyrose

how do i know this? i watched my god-daughters squabbling like anything over their dishwasher...
3:38 am
sprite

oh no, no fighting. We have a schedule here. They used to do the dishes by hand, on alternating days. And I did it on the Mondays.
3:39 am
sprite

now, they load it on alternating days, and I empty it daily.
3:40 am
grannyrose

wise woman.
3:42 am

I try to be, lol. Managing our household to the best of my abilities.
3:43 am
sprite

new word for the dictionary, if you like it: ewwy - rather yucky
3:44 am
grannyrose

i once suggested to my friend she should get the girls to hand-wash a few sinkful of dirty dishes and let them find out how lucky they were to have a dishwasher.
3:44 am
grannyrose

like it...put her in....
3:45 am
sprite

our dishwasher died about a year and a half ago. I think our kids know exactly how blessed they are :D
3:46 am
sprite

in it goes :D
3:46 am
grannyrose

i have to admit, i have NEVER had a dishwasher. but there is going to be room for one in the new kitchen
3:48 am
sprite

I have to say, I enjoy having one again. In stead of having dishes stacking up during the day, I have this nice looking empty sink and kitchen. Also, I very much enjoy how the kids love it.
3:50 am
grannyrose

as you do, sprite.
3:52 am
sprite

:D
3:54 am
grannyrose

how is your pain today?
3:54 am
sprite

lol the very first thing Tim said when we brought the thing home: "Yayyyyy and I am gonna be good with it... I will rinse everything becore putting it in... I will treasure it!"
3:55 am
sprite

bearable, darling. Breathing into it, trying not to tense up, will be ok.
3:55 am
grannyrose

i'm surprised he didn't get down and kiss it...lol
3:55 am
sprite

he almost did, lol.
3:58 am
grannyrose

like i said to a friend at church...there are two people who dirty dishes, dirty clothes, dirty the bathroom, dirty the floor....but only one who remembers to get off their arse and do something about it all.
3:59 am
grannyrose

and he has the gall to glibly tell all and sundry he looked after his kids for 10 years, his mother for 10 years, and now he is taking care of me. sometimes i could really hit him hard.
4:00 am
sprite

ain't that the truth! And it is 3 for 1 here. I mean, really! They drop their stuff and let it lie there, and when I complain about having to pick up after them they are all innocent and claim they never TOLD me I had to pick it up...
4:00 am
sprite

well in his way, he is taking care of you. But you have to mastermind the whole thing or nothing gets done.
4:01 am
grannyrose

do like i did to mine many years ago...i wrote them a note which said...everything i have picked up of yours is under your pillow.
4:01 am
sprite

and my love actually complains about having no free space on the table and hating the clutter. And when we make stacks of the stuff, guess who has the biggest stack by far?
4:02 am
sprite

oh I am worse. I put it in a garbage bag and tell them they have 1 week to empty it, or it goes out.
4:03 am
grannyrose

not only mastermind, sprite. i have to do a lot of the everyday chores myself. he simply does not see the need for cleaning up each day.
4:04 am
grannyrose

it is passive manipulation in all it's glory.
4:04 am
sprite

you should set him tasks, I think. Not ask him, but simply dividing the chores and telling him what you need him to do.
4:05 am
grannyrose

lol....i wish you could see his face when i do that....and then the guilt is loaded straight back on my shoulders as he claims he wants to get something else done, like mow the lawn.
4:07 am
sprite

hehehe simply tell him: "You will have to do that after this."
4:08 am
sprite

ahhhh and I see you use the word guilt! That means that in your heart you still feel like you should do all the chores, as the woman of the house!
4:10 am

are you two still here?
4:10 am

no, I am hiding behind my keyboard
4:11 am

Since my tegeraria gigantea (and I'm emphasizing GIGANTEA) appeared I my sink amidst the soaking pots, |I now clean the whole kitchen before going upstairs.
4:12 am

And a pre-wash all that goes into the dishwasher as scraping off dried-on crud does not appeal.....
4:12 am
sprite

omg that is bigger than my hand!
4:13 am
rubyfoo

I am not afraid of spiders, but this one was trying to get me and I was afraid to do anything but spray it with the sink hose. The whole kitchen (and I) was wet but at least I got him down the drain.
4:14 am
sprite

ugh and they have a nasty bite too. Am not usually scared of spiders either, but this one, I would want out of my house stat.
4:14 am
rubyfoo

I felt guilty (the Buddhist in me? lol), butgroundhimup I the ggrinding thingie

You have sasll hands, sprite!
4:15 am

4:16 am
sprite

don't really blame you. Especially if he was trying to bite you. I think I would have given him the same ultimatum I give flies: "Either you leave my house NOW or you'll become a very very flat fly. Or wasp. Or spider!"
4:16 am
sprite

aw poor ruby. Is the weather so nasty there too? It is so cold and wet here. Rain and mist and hail, and just around the freezing point.
4:17 am
rubyfoo

As the Scottish would say, it's murring. Nasty and cold but very little snow so far this year
4:18 am
sprite

no snow here so far, thank God.
4:18 am
rubyfoo

The spider (I think it was a female, was trying to climb out of the sink and there were still pots in it. I certainly learned my lesson
4:20 am

what happened with our rose? Squirrel?
4:20 am
rubyfoo

ROSIE!!!!
4:20 am

nope, still here, watching with interest, and nothing to contribute.
4:21 am

yes you have. Come on, girl, you live in Australia! You have more scary poisonous animals than all of Europe together.
4:21 am
rubyfoo

You probably have much worse spiders in Australia, but probably not in the house.
4:22 am
grannyrose

like the beetles, spiders do not increase my calm.
4:22 am
rubyfoo

funnel spiders, etc
4:22 am
grannyrose

not in my house....lol
4:23 am
sprite

hm ok. Calm is good. Calm is nice before bed. Let's talk about little lambs. You know, with those insanely wiggling tails whenever they nurse. Like they have to keep the engine going that way.
4:23 am

4:25 am

i have had huntsmen spiders run up my arm, run across the interior roof of my car, across the dashboard of my car, make venetian blinds in my baby's nursery rattle..nope don't like spiders at all.
4:26 am

looking up huntsmen spiders
4:26 am

I am googling them
4:27 am

Usually, the outdoor spiders are lovely, like the Argiope (named Caliope) to whom \I used to give flies
4:27 am

O.M.G. I am so not coming to Aussie ever.
4:27 am
grannyrose

don hates the golden orb spiders. their webs are quite strong and sticky.
4:28 am
sprite

not afraid of dutch spiders at all. But this size, and then hunting... actively running towards you? Noooo that is scary.
4:28 am
grannyrose

roflol, sprite.
4:28 am
rubyfoo

The huntsmen is similar to "my" spider, but much bigger
4:30 am
rubyfoo

It's the "running toward" that gets to me. I don't mind spiders when they are quiet and in their webs.
4:30 am
grannyrose

the one which crawled over the 'ceiling' of my car was while i was driving in peak hour traffic. i stopped the car and got out of it. and left the car right where it was...in the middle of a solid stream of traffic.
4:30 am
rubyfoo

And we have beautiful tiny wh*** ones in the garden from time to time. Lovely little things
4:31 am
rubyfoo

I would have done the same thing, Rose
4:32 am
sprite

So would I.
4:32 am
grannyrose

and where there is one, there is always another. they mate for life....like birds. if you kill one, you have to spray everywhere for the other.
4:33 am
rubyfoo

I thought they ate their mates....
4:33 am
sprite

some spiders do, but not all
4:33 am
rubyfoo

seems like a good idea to me
4:34 am
grannyrose

i remember just after MIL moved in, we had a terrible time with the spiders. when don rang one day, to see if we were both okay. i told him we are okay, but our 8 legged boarder was not to good. he drowned.....in a tinful of mortein..
4:34 am

what is mortein?
4:35 am

lol ruby! Quite the meal, honey
4:35 am

When we were kids, my sister usd to spray they with hair spray and then yell "Daddy"
4:35 am
grannyrose

an insect spray....one version is for only crawling things...like spiders
4:36 am
sprite

ah ok. Thanks rose.
4:36 am
grannyrose

hair-spray is good...but neither the MIL or i used it.
4:36 am
rubyfoo

have to go now. It was lovely to "see" you two. XX
4:36 am

It only slows them down, doesn't kill them

In my office I must not be judgmental with adolescents or I would not form an alliance with them. I encourage them to set goals. It is hard to not say, "You do what?" or "You don't use any birth control ever?" "Seven lifetime sex partners and you're 16?"

The heartache is always a part of it, so is the patience to deal with the recidivism.

8:09 am

jwr, I live in a rural area and there is so much poverty and ignorance. We see "hillbilly" folks here. It is sad and alrming.

but some parents, omg.....

the stories I hear!

Just watched Oranges and Sunshine - about the woman who uncovered the scandal of the 150,000 children deported from the UK up to 1970 - kids of poor parents or moms who were told they would be adopted in the US but were sent all over the world told their mothers had died and put into slave labor.
8:10 am

hi all
8:10 am

correction: adoped in the same country: UK, not US
8:11 am
pippingeek

that sounds heartbreaking
8:11 am
pippingeek

hi jmc
8:11 am
Scrabbler

I try to explain it to my friends but they don't understand. We see truly simple people. IQ's probably 60-80, lack of education....
8:11 am

how was yesterday's nap?

Hi je
8:12 am
Scrabbler

So sad, jwr
8:12 am
pippingeek

i know, scrabs, i can recall trying to explain to an orthodox woman in the ENT clinic that her son's hearing had nothing to do with his poor eyesight, and that if he didn't get tubes his infections would continue and possibly leave him deaf
8:12 am
jwr

Scrabs, m'dear - one step at a time works for you and me, too, remember?
8:13 am
pippingeek

but she was fixated on the eyesight and wouldn't hear of putting tubes in
8:14 am
jmcnrick

the nap was lovely especially since i sent two emails before it and my legal research was done when i woke
8:14 am
Scrabbler

It is so difficult to educate people that believe in myths and tales.
8:14 am
jwr

too bad, pippin. The health education in this country is so sex phobic that they've never even put in a good anatomy lesson.
8:14 am
pippingeek

best kind of work, jmc!
8:15 am
jmcnrick

not only poor people scrabs. . . thus the renewal of measles. . .
8:15 am
Scrabbler

Yes, so many people alow their emotions to overwhelm rational thinking and scientific evidence.
8:15 am
pippingeek

it's true, jwr and jmc, people believe some terrifying things and are so ignorant of what's actually going on in their bodies
8:16 am
jwr

I don't mean for teaching sex - just for letting kids know how their bodies work. The ignorance is appalling and lies (folk tales) rush in to filll the vacuum.
8:16 am
pippingeek

don't even get me started on the antivaxxers...
8:16 am
Scrabbler

I see it everyday, pippin.
8:17 am
jmcnrick

haha i remember when i was in high school in houston one of the other students said that the baby's big toe was in the mother's belly button. . .
8:18 am
pippingeek

at least telling girls to keep an aspirin between their knees had some practical purpose
8:18 am
Scrabbler

Parents just say, "I don't believe in vaccines." What is there NOT to believe in? Look in old cemeteries and see how many babies and young kids died, in families, within days and weeks of one another.
8:18 am
jwr

good, pip. And "mad money" too
8:19 am
pippingeek

yup, mom taught me about mad money as well
8:19 am
Scrabbler

Mad money?
8:19 am
jmcnrick

*sigh* psuedo science has a lot to answer for. ..
8:19 am
pippingeek

one of my coworkers refuses to get the flu vaccine because she thinks it's a government conspiracy
8:20 am
pippingeek

this is someone studying to go into nursing who works in health care. i can't even
8:20 am
jwr

That was a coin for a phone call (back in the day!) or taxi fare in your shoe so you could walk away from a questionable situation.
8:20 am
Scrabbler

I hear that too, pippin, although I do believe that the government does many covert things to harm Americans.
8:21 am
Scrabbler

Ah, TY, jwr.
8:21 am
pippingeek

i don't disagree, but vaccines aren't one of them
8:21 am
jmcnrick

i have perfect teeth at 63 because of the government conspiracy of fluoride in the water in houston
8:22 am
Scrabbler

Good example, Je.
8:22 am
pippingeek

i sadly do not - three more fillings in the last 2 weeks. that's 6 this year alone
8:22 am
jwr

Pip, the person going into health care will not get very far -- there are mandatory vaccines for health care workers at every level. She's in for a surprise.
8:23 am
pippingeek

on the other hand, i lived on Camp Lejeune during my formative years and it's now reported that it's one of the worst public contaminations in the country, and went on for a good 30 years
