visitor on her way. will be back much later. xoxox

good morning all
3:04 am
Lizlin

Hi sprite and hugs from us :)
3:04 am
sprite

hi Liz! *hugs* for you both. And thanks for your email. Beautiful stuff!
3:05 am
Lizlin

Very glad you approved
3:05 am
Lizlin

How are you this morning?
3:05 am
sprite

sure do.
3:06 am
sprite

I am ok, just sore allover. Getting old, I think, lol. Every morning nowadays my joints all hurt, especially the little ones. Hands, feet.
3:07 am
Lizlin

You're not old! Tell those joints to behave!
3:07 am
Lizlin

How was the gym?
3:08 am
Lizlin

I was amazed at how well my back coped this morning. It's been pretty achy recently.
3:08 am
sprite

lol will do! Gym is going well. I adjusted the program slightly and came home tired, but hurting and today I don't have any bad muscle aches. Just a pleasant sense of having worked them.
3:09 am
sprite

oh wow Liz, that is good! After such a busy day, it is more than good, it is awesome.
3:09 am
Lizlin

That's good.
3:11 am
sprite

not* hurting, lol
3:11 am
Lizlin

Yup, I was happy with that. I know I've not exercised that hard in the gym over the last few months so that should start to improve. Think I hurt my back walking on a very sloped beach!
3:12 am
sprite

yeah, sand and slopes don't go together well. Very hard word for our poor bodies.
3:12 am
Lizlin

it was a weird day - very sloped beach and soft sand.
3:13 am
sprite

kind of a war zone for your back, that is certain
3:14 am
Lizlin

It certainly threw my back out. It's taken a couple of months to get more or less back to normal.
3:15 am
Lizlin

I'm really impatient with myself when I hurt!
3:15 am
sprite

a very good sign then that all your activities yesterday didn't give you a back ache.
3:16 am
Lizlin

Still today here for a few more hours. Time zones are so confusing!
3:16 am
sprite

oh I hear ya! Worst thing to learn for me has been to be patient with myself, and kind to myself, and not beating myself up for being handicapped. I had to learn, mind you, lol, since it won't go away. Not sure I could have learned with 'only' temporal aches.
3:16 am
Lizlin

How can de 4 the antlered animal,,be plural?
3:17 am
sprite

time zones mess with your head, grin. We know, here in babble land.
3:17 am
sprite

I think it is one of those language errors that slowly become accepted
3:18 am
Lizlin

Grrrr!
3:18 am
sprite

ikr! We have several of those in dutch and they bug me no end. Make me wanna bring out my red pencil.
3:19 am
Lizlin

Me too
3:21 am
Lizlin

Time to go! Very happy to have caught you. Have a good day. Hugs
3:21 am
sprite

you too, Liz, and your husband as well. *hugs* for you both.

phantom: pharao
3:31 am
zoozzoom

Does it not have an H on the end?
3:32 am
sprite

pharaoh? Hm yeah, looks good to me. Hi zooz, dear man :) How are you today?
3:33 am
zoozzoom

Hello, Sprite.I am ok.And how are you?
3:33 am
sprite

am fine, thanks! You good or just ok?
3:35 am
zoozzoom

Not sure yet..lol...just got up about 30 mins ago :-)
3:35 am
sprite

hahahaha tea first then, methinks? And a bit of babble...
3:37 am
zoozzoom

I did go for a blood test at the hospital yesterday and the nurse put the needle in my arm.And it sent a tingly shock wave down my arm and into one of my fingers.I told her at the time and she was sorry.But it still tingles and feels slightly numb in the finger still.Hoping it will disappear soon.
3:37 am
zoozzoom

have my tea here now..Sluuuuurp.Ahhh!
3:38 am
sprite

sounds like she hit a nerve :( Very unpleasant.
3:38 am
zoozzoom

Yes she did.I was not impressed to be honest.But I am rather thin so I can see it must of been hard for her.
3:39 am
sprite

everybody makes mistakes... just sucks that it happened to be you she made her mistake on :(
3:39 am
grannyrose

and back...{{hugs}} sprite, g'dayzooz
3:40 am
sprite

hello rose! *hugs* Had not expected you back yet, lucky me!
3:40 am
zoozzoom

Hello, Rose.did you have a nice time?
3:41 am
grannyrose

ugh, i got it wrong...she is apparently coming tomorrow. but have had dinner, so i can just sit here a whiles.
3:42 am
sprite

ah ok :) Don't worry, it is rather normal for elderly ladies to get dates mixed up *hides behind zooz*
3:42 am
grannyrose

ummmm, sprite?? i can seeee you.
3:42 am
zoozzoom

Ha no good hiding behind a stick insect, Sprite :-)
3:43 am
sprite

*blinks innocently* Hm? Oh right. You can see me. But zooz is defending me.
3:43 am
grannyrose

* directs stern look at zooz* yes mister???

3:46 am
sprite

ikr :)
3:47 am
grannyrose

oh, sorry, sprite, forgot to cut fingernails...hope i didn't scratch you.
3:47 am
sprite

*tries to fix ear drum with duct tape* No darling, no problem, all good here...
3:48 am
grannyrose

yuck, what's this under my nail? sprite, when was the last time you cleaned out your ears?
3:49 am
zoozzoom

Oh good grief!
3:49 am
sprite

I never have to do that. I just wait for my friend rose with her too long fingernails to do it for me.
3:49 am
grannyrose

or maybe it's a piece of your brain...you don't need it, do you?
3:49 am
sprite

poor zooz, lol, stuck in the cross fire!
3:49 am
sprite

no sweetie, I have brains to spare. You can keep it.
3:50 am

* belly laughing *
3:50 am
sprite

*grin* goal for today achieved... made rose laugh.
3:51 am
grannyrose

zooz?? you okay, mate? or did you choke on that cuppa?
3:51 am
zoozzoom

I am fine thank you :-) found about 15 words during your little cat fight exchange..lol
3:51 am
grannyrose

and i made you laugh, dearest
3:52 am
sprite

hehehe we are SO inspiring
3:52 am
sprite

you sure did, rose.
3:52 am
grannyrose

zooz, everything we say to each other is in jest. you should see our emails....
3:53 am
zoozzoom

I like the way you can have 'payday'(yesterday) but you can not have stepon.
3:53 am
zoozzoom

Oh I know that, Rose..lol
3:53 am
sprite

ikr! No logic at all in enable.
3:55 am
zoozzoom

And for one brief moment I thought I saw the word stethoscope in the grid.But alas not :-(
3:55 am
sprite

oooo but a wonderful phantom. You win the phantom prize today, zooz
3:56 am
zoozzoom

Cool!..which is?
3:56 am
grannyrose

a cup of snow.....lolol
3:56 am
grannyrose

that cool enough???
3:57 am
sprite

the phantom prize is.... a phantom vacation to the bahamas.
3:57 am
sprite

that IS cool
3:57 am
zoozzoom

Good job I am asking, Sprite then Rose?
3:57 am
zoozzoom

YaY much better prize!
3:58 am
sprite

I can drive my kids crazy with that, actually.
"I'll make you a cup of soup."
"Oh cool."
"Um well I was planning on heating it, but if you prefer it cool?"
"Moohommmm!"
3:58 am
zoozzoom

Rose is a meanie :-(
3:58 am
grannyrose

*blinks innocently* and what's wrong with MY prize??
3:59 am
grannyrose

somehow i don't think a cup of warm snow is cool.
3:59 am
zoozzoom

It is already freezing here thanks.I will let you have my prize as it is very hot where you are :-)
4:00 am
zoozzoom

Do they know how to use the microwave, Sprite..lol
4:00 am
grannyrose

so generous as always, zooz. gee thanx.
4:00 am
zoozzoom

Rose how long does it take for a nerve ending to heal back to normal?
4:01 am
sprite

lol yeah they do, zooz. I think kids nowadays are born with the microwave manual imprinted in their brains.
4:02 am
zoozzoom

Teehee i think you are right, Sprite.
4:02 am
grannyrose

how long is a piece of string? you poor man, i saw your post. that nurse was way out of line. nerve healing does take some time...2-3 weeks if it is going to heal on it's own.
4:02 am
zoozzoom

Now a hoover on the other hand..is like a little alien to them.
4:03 am
grannyrose

mind you, after i had my carpal tunnel surgery, i noticed the difference within 10 days.
4:04 am
zoozzoom

I am sure she did not mean to do it. But non the less I was shocked.
4:04 am
sprite

a hoover is a vacuum cleaner, right? Yeah, they cannot find the power button on their own. But that highly complicated smart phone? They can manage that without even trying hard.
4:04 am
zoozzoom

10 days!! that is a long time.
4:05 am
zoozzoom

Oh sorry, Sprite ..yes a vacuum cleaner.
4:06 am
sprite

no need to apologise, just had to make sure I remembered right
4:06 am
sprite

rightly? Ummmm
4:06 am
zoozzoom

hahaha yeah it is ironic that simple machines they have no idea how to operate.yet give them a computer and they are an expert on them!
4:08 am
zoozzoom

Hoover is a make here in the Uk that at one time in the dark ages..nearly every house hold had one so the vacuum cleaner was just named hoover as in I ma going to hoover the stairs..instead of I am going to vacuum the stairs...so even now i am used to saying a hoover.
4:08 am
zoozzoom

Long winded but you get the picture.
4:09 am
grannyrose

oh, and sprite....there is a sequel to " the best exoctic marigold hotel " it's coming out here soon. i saw the trailer last week...you think the first was funny...
4:10 am
sprite

thanks zooz :)
4:11 am
sprite

ohhhh rose, awesome! I loved the movie. Am gonna watch it with cobi next time she comes here.
4:11 am

4:12 am

yeah, i have watched it 3 times already.
4:12 am

4:12 am
grannyrose

every time i see it i find something more.
4:15 am

I bet I will too.
4:16 am
sprite

rose, not asking for clues, just a yes or no... are the jo words weird?
4:16 am
grannyrose

4:18 am
sprite

ok thanks :)
4:20 am
sprite

hah, found them. Stupid names.
4:20 am
grannyrose

yeah, ikr?
4:21 am

I don't mind so much the names that are valid... but all those names I try that are not valid!
4:21 am
grannyrose

*giggle* like jose?
4:22 am
sprite

yeah. Or recently, anita. I mean, daphne goes, but anita doesn't?
4:23 am
grannyrose

well daphne is a flowering plant, or a form of water nymph development.
4:24 am
sprite

yeah and an anita is a rather trashy kind of woman. In dutch, anyway.
4:24 am
grannyrose

ahhhh
4:24 am

4:25 am

calling pocahontas a phantom is pushing it, isn't it?
4:26 am
grannyrose

sorry sweetie, yes it is. try again
4:26 am
sprite

darn it. Ok, how about phantom? Phantom is a phantom today, right? Hm? Yes?

4:32 am
grannyrose

sprite did a bit of walking today, and guess what? theory proved...walking makes the nerve flair up. it has been stinging like a female dog.
4:33 am
sprite

aw rose, that sucks. You go call that ortho tomorrow, no excuses.
4:33 am
grannyrose

awww, hin. not a problem, sweetie. all in your own good time, and if you want to do so. xoxox
4:34 am

I wanted to do so, that is the joke. I just opened email, noticed I could send some more postcrossing cards and proceeded to do so.

Back to mild temps I see. Tis ONLY minus 18c/ 0F atm:)
5:38 am

For a couple of days :) Our temperature went from -33 to -15 in about 4 hours yesterday.
5:38 am

I was a lot warmer in my apartment without the wind.
5:39 am

5:40 am

On sunday, I wore sweat pants, a t-shirt, a sweater, a fleece jacket, and was covered with a throw and I was still freezing. Yesterday I got by with a t-shirt and sweater over my sweat pants :)
5:41 am
crosshair

Speaking of older movies, Rose, the mrs and I watched a delightful old movie called Sabrina the other day starring Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn. Was a nice change.
5:42 am
sukee

I really like that movie, but then again I like most of Bogart's films.
5:42 am
crosshair

Yes, Yesterday i was puttering round outside with a sweater and my fleece only.
5:43 am
sukee

I tried to watch as many Bogart movies as I could when I was in my 20s :)
5:43 am

Audrey overshadowed him in this particular case. She was definitely the star of that film.
5:43 am
sukee

True.
5:45 am
sukee

The original is much better than the remake, which is usually the case.
5:45 am
crosshair

My favs ,however are old movies with Katherine Hepburn in them. She plays the strong woman and I used to love watching her putting all those leading men in their place like in African Queen.
5:45 am
sukee

Yes, she is my favorite actress :) My role model :)
5:47 am

The way her voice used to modulate was annoying at first, but you got used to her.

5:52 am

Indeed, Scrabby. Beautiful golden brown buttermilk pancakes--I make mine about the size of a teacup saucer and cook them in creamery butter till the edges are golden brown and slightly crunchy them I drizzle Canada grade A light maple syrup over them.

The South grinds to a complete halt when they get weather like that. They are just not used to dealing with it, nor do they have the resources to treat the roads properly.
7:45 am
Uneaixoise

Molly, if it were snow it would be different but this is ice ice, baby -- and with recordbreaking low temps it's a nightmare -- very hard to "treat" roads that are covered in a couple of inches of rock-hard ice
7:46 am

Losing power is the first thing I get concerned about in an ice storm. And they are usually long outages because when ice brings down power lines, it brings them down hard.

Wow. That's further south than us in Delaware. Guess we dodged the worst of it.
9:30 am
bichon

They don't even plow the secondary roads there, that's how bad it is
9:31 am

That is becoming a more common trend, Bichon. Fortunately, our neighborhood has an organization and we all chip in for private plowing in times of winter armageddon.

Hi Scrabs, did you miss this storm?

Salt only works over a certain tempurature. Otherwise, it just lays on top the the ice. Sand is even less effective in cold.
9:36 am

We got snow Fri and Sat--a foot or so, and we have had bone-chilling temps. Minus 15 Sun, minus 10 yest, minus 9 this morning.
9:37 am

Out here in the country our roads are typically well-plowed. And we do not get salted in the winter, just sanded.

we have a snow blower but no one has bothered to get it out of the garage and I wanted to get it done
10:58 am

I did not want to wait cause it will turn to ice when the sun goes down and make it harder to drive on and even harder to shovel
10:58 am

hey stidgmere -- greetings to you from the very frozen South! And no thawing till Saturday -- in fact tomorrow nite's low will be -4 degrees!!
6:49 pm

how is everyone?
6:49 pm
Trifioso

oh PLEASE - greetings from Massachusetts, where my town has enjoyed over 91 inches of snow in the last 21 days.
6:49 pm
stidgmere

We have experienced a Southern deep freeze. Makes Dairy Queen look warm!
6:50 pm
stidgmere

Trifioso, my brother in Webster has snow half way up his windows. We certainly are keeping you in our warm thoughts!
6:51 pm
Uneaixoise

trif, i know -- have watched videos of what you're dealing with--- mindboggling!!!
6:51 pm
Trifioso

I do too. The best part? I have to keep resnowblowing the front walk, which is now the only place my dog has to poop. As a charming result, frozen chunks of dog poop are now up against my kitchen window. RIGHT in front of where we eat.
6:51 pm
Uneaixoise

it's been pretty extreme in Maine where my daughter lives as well!
6:52 pm
Trifioso

secondo got an email from her school, saying it was going to be between -20 and -40 this week, so "cover up on the way to class"
6:52 pm

she is in vermont.
6:52 pm

it's been particularly rough on my 2 senior dogs -- trying to walk, squat, pee, etc.!
6:53 pm

6:53 pm

6:54 pm
stidgmere

My brother has a snowblower and he has cleared a path for the dog to use. He is going to extend the path as the winter continues.
6:54 pm
Uneaixoise

when it's this cold i worry about them finding water to drink
6:54 pm
Trifioso

I had been trying to do that, but with the snow over four feet most places, that is no longer an option
6:56 pm
stidgmere

I read that Washington, DC had closed government offices today. Are you finding businesses and offices closing in your area? Are the schools open so the kids have hot meals?
6:57 pm
Trifioso

the subway is basically crippled, there is NO WHERE to park in the city, they have had to start dumping snow in the ocean, and its basically all hellish all the time. I have never seen the like of it.
6:57 pm
Uneaixoise

all schools closed, many businesses closed
6:57 pm
Trifioso

the kids are on vacation this week, so the schools are closed
6:57 pm
Trifioso

its snowing right now.
6:58 pm
Uneaixoise

the pictures of your snow mountains with nowhere to go are just incredible
6:58 pm
stidgmere

Man, we are just not used to Siberian winters. We have mountains with no snow. Very bad portend for summer drought.
6:59 pm
Uneaixoise

couldn't believe the pics this afternoon on tv of Niagara Falls . . . wow

Hi, Trif - Did you see that last week a 46-foot yacht got stuck in a snowbank in downtown Boston? (I'm from Brookline.)
7:04 pm
Uneaixoise

just saw this: The mayor of Boston is urging cabin fever-crazed residents to stop hurling themselves from their windows into snowbanks. (apparently they're filming themselves and posting the videos online) LOL

Hi TO quiet chog. Lots of folks pretty cold tonight. Not here, though. We are having spring-like weather and my snowdrops and little purple flowers are out already. The camellia next door (spelling) is nearly done with its blooms.
