Clues are up

12:01 am

Erda

Thanka, Lickety!

Erda

12:04 am

rururocks

babying the clues along erda?

12:04 am

negativeneil

Hey ru. :)

12:05 am

Erda

ended up in the wrong box...

12:05 am

rururocks

hey neil!

12:06 am

negativeneil

How are you?

12:07 am

negativeneil

Sorry Erda... hi to you too! :)

12:07 am

negativeneil

And how are you?

12:07 am

rururocks

well.. you really don't want to ask

12:07 am

negativeneil

Ohh no... why?

12:08 am

rururocks

took a big fall today and wrecked my shoulders and back and stuff

12:10 am

negativeneil

Ohh man. :( Sorry to hear that!
Think you should be checked out?

12:10 am

negativeneil

That's all you needed. :(

12:10 am

rururocks

maybe tomorrow if i'm still in bad shape

12:10 am

negativeneil

Please? Think it's the best idea.

12:13 am

Bugsaw

do you have epsom salts, ruru? Soaking in a tub of salts as soon as possible really helps to ease the muscles which want to cramp up and put your back out.

12:13 am

rururocks

how are you guys doing?

12:13 am

rururocks

are you done taking classes?

12:13 am

rururocks

I don't have a tub here bugs..

12:14 am

negativeneil

Yep... all finished. We're doing well thanks. :)

12:14 am

Bugsaw

oh too bad. My boy who played football swore by epsom salt baths after a game/

12:14 am

negativeneil

Yeah... that's a good suggestion. Too bad you don't have a bathtub.

12:14 am

Bugsaw

how about a massage tomorrow?

12:15 am

rururocks

probably a hot hot shower tonight

12:15 am

negativeneil

That might hurt with bruising? Better to have a doctor check it all out first.

12:16 am

Bugsaw

hot showers are always good but you have jarred bones too.

12:17 am

rururocks

I feel like such an idiot for falling too

12:17 am

negativeneil

No! Don't be silly. Everyone falls now and then.

12:17 am

negativeneil

Accidents happen... everyone trips sometimes.

12:18 am

negativeneil

I sure fell... at least it was for the right girl. :)

12:19 am

rururocks

I wish

12:19 am

rururocks

fell backwards on some cement stairs

12:19 am

Bugsaw

I know you you feel ruru. It is embarrassing. When I broke my leg I had to phone 911 and say the dreaded lines, "I have fallen and I can't get up"

12:20 am

rururocks

oh...lol bugs.. that makes me laugh and it hurts

12:20 am

Bugsaw

I did that once too. Had the most purple bottom for weeks@

12:20 am

negativeneil

Ouch, ru. :( Well I've done that kind of thing too.

12:20 am

rururocks

*where's the friggin' clapper when you need one :D

12:20 am

negativeneil

Ouch, Bugsaw. :(

12:21 am

negativeneil

I'll be careful not to make you laugh then, ru.

12:21 am

rururocks

well off to try to make my bed.. and take some anti-inflamatories

12:21 am

negativeneil

Tonight, anyway.

12:22 am

rururocks

nice to have you pop in neil.. take care you guys

12:22 am

negativeneil

Ahh. Good plan!

12:22 am

negativeneil

And I'm off too... take it easy!
See the doctor tomorrow... ok?

12:22 am

Bugsaw

shower first before bed ruru just to loosen the muscles. Antiinflamatories are a good idea but you will be sore tomorrow.

12:22 am

negativeneil

Yep.. nice to see you too. :) And will do!

12:22 am

Bugsaw

Good night too Neil

12:23 am

negativeneil

And to you, Bugs. Take care, both of you. :)

3:14 am

sprite

oh that is awesome! Lol!

3:14 am

Lizlin

Clawed my way to half way!

3:15 am

sprite

hat off to you. I have 20 words in and I feel like pulling hairs from a frog.

3:15 am

Lizlin

Agreed!

3:16 am

grannyrose

at lunch today, a tomato spat out it's contents all over my t-shirt...and here i was hoping to wear it tomorrow. ugh

3:16 am

sprite

ugh, nasty stains, that

3:16 am

Lizlin

Hate it when tomatoes attack

3:16 am

Lizlin

,

3:16 am

sprite

the attack of the monster tomatoes, part one

3:17 am

sprite

(they are here to take over the world)

3:17 am

grannyrose

cherry tomato...perhaps it sensed my antipathy??

3:17 am

Lizlin

Should've used your fingers!

3:17 am

grannyrose

hate cherry toms...give me romas or vine toms anytime...* giggle*

3:18 am

grannyrose

isn't it weird? i can taste the difference..

3:18 am

sprite

yeah, that can happen when you first spear it on your fork and then progress to say: "Gotcha, you little red rotten son of a shrub... you can kiss your red ass goodbye!"

3:18 am

Lizlin

Hubby now watching Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!

3:19 am

sprite

roflollllll Liz!

3:19 am

sprite

I love cherry tomatoes. So much sweeter than other ones.

3:19 am

grannyrose

roflol...poor peter...nothing better to watch?

3:19 am

Lizlin

They were better in England - not so sweet in Aus.

3:19 am

grannyrose

sprite...yuck....yuck...yuck.

3:20 am

sprite

ah... here they are about the best tasting there are.

3:20 am

Lizlin

He's gone back to playing photos.

3:20 am

grannyrose

we have mini romas...they are so nice...and the vine toms have such a lovely rich flavour..

3:21 am

sprite

hehehe it is so much fun to 'feel' like he is part of our convo as well

3:21 am

sprite

I think vine toms are what we call trostomaten. They are very good too.

3:21 am

Lizlin

Yup, in Aus, those are the best.

3:21 am

grannyrose

i think...the grosse lisse...ugh...full of water, and very little flavour...once you have vine-ripened toms...you cannot eat anything else.

3:23 am

grannyrose

don and i are known to leave a tom on the window sill until almost too late. fresh white bread, tomato and salt...to die for.

3:24 am

Lizlin

We tried to grow tomatoes but the dreaded fruit fly gets them in QLD

3:26 am

sprite

will try again this year. Have the seeds already, and my veggie garden boxes-on-tables are ready to receive the seeds.

3:27 am

grannyrose

our new gardener is going to set up our above ground vegetable patch. i am so looking forward to it.

3:27 am

Lizlin

We're thinking about a small greenhouse - to beat the fruit fly.

3:27 am

sprite

that is a wish of mine, a small greenhouse

3:28 am

grannyrose

good idea liz

3:28 am

sprite

nice, rose! That is the same thing I have, I think. So you can tend to it without having to bend over or sit down.

3:28 am

grannyrose

sprite, do you have the garden area for that?

3:28 am

Lizlin

They're really good. I've seen them in bunnings

3:29 am

grannyrose

exactly so sprite

3:29 am

grannyrose

and master's, liz

3:29 am

sprite

yeah, I think so, rose, in the front garden. The back garden has been taken over by husband... canoes at one side, a huge sea container at the other. And my veggie garden patches.

3:29 am

Lizlin

Yes, there too

3:30 am

sprite

or we could move the veggie patches to the front and put up the glasshouse in the back.

3:31 am

grannyrose

col...don's sister and her now defunct hubby, planted veges among the flowers etc in the front garden. every morning they got up to another lot of veges missing.

3:31 am

Lizlin

It was the gnomes!

3:31 am

sprite

yeah that is what I am afraid of as well, lol!

3:31 am

grannyrose

sprite, at least the greenhouse would be lockable..

3:32 am

sprite

dem gnomes. Greedy little so-and-sos.

3:32 am

grannyrose

lol, liz...

3:32 am

sprite

indeed, rose. And the front gets morning sun. Back doesn't get sun till around noon.

3:33 am

grannyrose

morning sun is good..sprite

3:34 am

sprite

yeah, so I guess that if we find the resources to fulfill my wish, it will be in the front.

3:36 am

sprite

halfway. Jeezzz. Long time since we had a grid this tight.

3:37 am

Lizlin

Made it to 42

3:37 am

grannyrose

what's the matta with you two?? for once i breezed thru...c'mon gals....put the pedal to the metal...

3:37 am

Lizlin

Really struggling

3:37 am

sprite

good job, Liz

3:38 am

sprite

you just have superior brainwaves, rose

3:38 am

grannyrose

ca6 andta6 were the only ones i had never heard of before.

3:39 am

sprite

those are my missing 6s then.

3:39 am

grannyrose

oh for goodness sake, sprite. you and liz are way out in front of me.

3:39 am

sprite

3:39 am

Lizlin

Have ta 6 and eom6 - missing the others.

3:40 am

Lizlin

Rubbish Rose.

3:40 am

grannyrose

3:40 am

sprite

um no, I have the ta. Ca and one other then.

3:40 am

sprite

right, ra it is.

3:40 am

Lizlin

Same as me then.

3:40 am

sprite

it is not rataxl. Yes, I tried that. Does that tell you something?

3:41 am

sprite

yes, same as you, Liz. At least we suck together, lolol

3:41 am

Lizlin

Nor ratlia

3:42 am

grannyrose

not to be discriminitiary then

3:42 am

sprite

lol indeed

3:42 am

sprite

discriminitiary... wow!

3:42 am

grannyrose

not sure how the di is spelled

3:42 am

Lizlin

OK so it could be that!

3:43 am

grannyrose

ra6, think arpethide

3:43 am

sprite

rose, any compounds there?

3:44 am

grannyrose

apartheid

3:44 am

sprite

I have never even heard of arpethide. *off to google*

3:44 am

grannyrose

nooo, check out my revised spelling

3:45 am

sprite

roflollll oh! Right. Our contribution to the world language.

3:45 am

sprite

ah of course. Thanks rose

3:46 am

grannyrose

lol, rather naughtily....it is pouring rain here

3:46 am

sprite

it is south african, but that is a lot like dutch. Apart = separated from. -heid is a suffix that means the state of, the situation of, being

3:47 am

sprite

a lot like the english -ness suffix

3:48 am

grannyrose

i asked don to remind me this morning, which is when my muscle spasms are at their lowest, to cut his hair. time he finally asked me to cut his hair?? just before 5pm....oh man!!

3:48 am

Lizlin

OK enough for now. 45 down. Time for a break. Hugs

3:50 am

sprite

ah and there is the ca. Finally. 32 left to find

3:53 am

sprite

oh rose, I found something special. A website that allows parents of chronically or fatally ill children to put up their story and ask for postcards. Just to brighten their days. Once in a while I pick one and send an envelope with a lovely card and some small gifts.

3:53 am

grannyrose

sprite, please send me the link. xoxox

3:54 am

sprite

will do!

3:55 am

grannyrose

okay, post before last lost in the blackout. he leaves before i am up tomorrow ...the bike ride?? remember?? back spasms or not...i had to cut his hair.

3:57 am

grannyrose

i am sooo anti this ride...i don't think he understands just how much.

3:57 am

grannyrose

nt the prupose of it...just the fact i cannot join in...

3:58 am

sprite

you don't have to do anything. Tell him no. Too late, very sorry.

3:58 am

sprite

rose... my darling friend... can you try and turn it around in your mind? Make it a gift to Don? Something you can give him to enjoy?

3:59 am

grannyrose

*shrug* too late, sprite. i have already done it...with lots of whimpering i might add.

3:59 am

sprite

*reminds self to talk with rose about limits and boundaries and the power to say no*

3:59 am

sprite

*giggle*

4:00 am

grannyrose

sprite, i hear you...but if he calls and has everyone yell hello rose ito the phone, i will probably die. it really hurts me.

4:00 am

sprite

27 left. Am having a ball here, such a tough little grid.

4:01 am

grannyrose

* into *

4:01 am

sprite

ok, so protect yourself from that, rose. Either tell him not to call, or don't pick up the phone. You don't have to open yourself to unnecessary hurt.

4:01 am

grannyrose

already thought that out, sprite. will tell him as he leaves tomorrow morning.

4:02 am

grannyrose

sprite, daling, apart from those 2 6's, every word you have seen before...i promise you.

4:02 am

sprite

very good, sweetie. Just let him know how hard it is for you to have to stay home, and that you want him to enjoy himself, but that a phonecall will only add to your hurt.

4:03 am

grannyrose

ugh....darling

4:03 am

grannyrose

sprite...that is exactly what i have planned to say to him.

4:03 am

sprite

that might be true, rose. But I am pretty sure they are looping and twisting and doing 4 saltos mortale. Each.

4:04 am

grannyrose

do you have both spellings of al4/7?

4:04 am

sprite

yeah, those I have

4:05 am

4:55 am

zoozzoom

I have finished the grid.And I am ready to give sudoku a go!

4:58 am

zoozzoom

Hope you are enjoyinh your wine on a fine evening :-)

4:58 am

zoozzoom

enjoying*

4:59 am

grannyrose

thanx zooz. absolutely.

5:00 am

zoozzoom

I got the result back,Rose, for the tightening of the throat and thick saliva.It is what he called globus spasm.

5:05 am

grannyrose

zooz...h'okay...have read up on your diagnosis. are you happy with it??

5:06 am

grannyrose

and an your doc help you with it??

5:07 am

zoozzoom

No not at all, Rose.As there is no cure. only muscle relaxants like valium will help short term.But he will not prescribe me any as of the time I OD on them when i was having my funny turn years a go. So I seem to be stuck with it.

5:07 am

grannyrose

*can*

5:08 am

zoozzoom

Eating helps as the the throat muscle is doing its job and helps to relax it.But I can't eat 24/7 lol

5:08 am

grannyrose

oh, for goodness sake, zooz. tell your doc to wake up to himself.

5:08 am

Yep. He said he'd only do it if they'd kill off Spock. Uh oh. Spoiler for whoever hasn't seen that movie.

9:16 am

MollyL

Is it a still a spoiler if the movie is 33 years old?
: D

9:17 am

Judi

Imagine there are some folks who haven't seen it. Can't imagine who. But, we're not all Trekkies.

9:17 am

MollyL

The last thing I saw Leonard Nimoy in was the TV series "Fringe". He was so good in the role of William Bell and it was a lot of fun seeing Anna Torv try and "be" him when his consciousness invaded hers.

9:18 am

car.eeyore

Missing him.

9:18 am

MollyL

I wasn't a Star Trek person and I saw that movie. Peer pressure.

9:19 am

Judi

Loved "Fringe". Hubby and I noticed that he seemed a little out of breath in his scenes. I guess that was the COPD showing.

9:19 am

MollyL

Fringe is a fun series to watch again. It's available for free on Amazon Prime if anyone is a member.

9:20 am

Judi

My favorite character was Walter. I believe he won some Emmys for that role. What a fun character that must have been to play.

9:21 am

I love John Noble. I have enjoyed seeing him on Sleepy Hollow. I hope he will be back.

Magnesium is the new crack

If it hurts you, magnesium will fix it. Whee!

I'm sure it helps with leg cramps and such.. but it can't be a cure all can it?

8:08 pm

welki

hey pen

8:08 pm

welki

oops, didn't notice the last post was at 7:54

8:10 pm

welki

pen, are you on the ocean or are you bayside?

8:12 pm

penquis

i live on the coast....not directly on the water....my town has a deep water harbor...

8:12 pm

penquis

it's open ocean out there....in the pic....

8:13 pm

welki

i've only been to two areas in maine - bucksport and bar harbor (and side trips from there into the park area)

8:14 pm

welki

<--- very jealous of you, pen, living by the sea

8:14 pm

penquis

by road i am about an hour and a half from Bucksport...a little more from Bar Harbor....i am down the coast from those places....

8:14 pm

penquis

there is something comforting about being by the sea....

8:15 pm

welki

i grew up near the sea, know how you feel

8:19 pm

penquis

and i don't necessarily go to the beach all the time....but i do drive by the water whenever i go out....i am maybe an eighth of a mile as the crow flies from the water...

8:25 pm

welki

this is the best time of year to be by the ocean - it's wild and noisy (and pretty much deserted)

8:27 pm

penquis

true....my brother lives across the street from the harbor....i have watched the ocean from his house....how the water changes color, how the clouds and fog move in and out....very interesting...

9:13 pm
