Busy; had a dr checkup appt, stopped and got flowers to take to a friend, who just had her knee replaced, got home about 5, so I was pretty tired.

hello
4:45 am
rubyfoo

the time change in Europe today? I'm waiting for th3 doctor
4:46 am
rubyfoo

did? I s anybody there?
4:53 am
grannyrose

hello dearest ruby. is doc's visit just routine?
4:53 am
rubyfoo

no, nurse came yesterday and it's possible that B. has an infection, although he has no fever. Just a lot of pain
4:53 am
rubyfoo

I am beside myself.
4:54 am
rubyfoo

And he can't remember where he is or what year it is. That may be the effect of the tramadol plus anesthesia -- I really hope so
4:54 am
grannyrose

pugs had heaps of pain post-op too. besides he's a man dear. they don't have headaches, just migrines
4:55 am
rubyfoo

Did your time change. I have to run errands but am afraid the MD will arrive when I'm gone
4:55 am
grannyrose

is he well hydrated? dehydration can cause weird behaviour in the elderly.
4:56 am
grannyrose

can you ring the doc and ask for an about time?
4:56 am
rubyfoo

I keep giving him water
4:56 am
rubyfoo

he said around noon, but that can mean anything around here

5:11 am

I feel like crying but am afraid that, if I start, I won't be able to stop
5:14 am

a good cry is very cathartic. it helps to clear your mind. try going outside, or somewhere burt can't hear you though...and let her rip. you need to do it.

and you cannot see them at night then - BOOM!
1:39 pm
Trifioso

we were just speaking of this at school the other day - now that the worst of the onslaught is abating, people are beginning to see just how much this winter actually cost - gutters need to be fixed, dents and dings and broken fenders on cars, broken windows, leaks in houses, ice dam damage, perennials, trees, shrubs died....my fish pond is a goner for SURE....
1:39 pm
hego

Nasty!
1:41 pm
Trifioso

my poor fish....I really do hope SOME of them survived, but I doubt it. the little heater that keeps an air hole open to exchange gasses just could NOT compete with the snow fall
1:42 pm
Trifioso

they aren't prize koi or naught - we bought about 20 feeder goldfish 6 years ago for maybe all of a $1.20 and chucked them in there, and they got busy right away, and I had over 60 really good sized fish in there this past fall.
1:43 pm
hego

Poor babies!
1:43 pm
72 Temple Owl

wow. poor things.
1:44 pm
Trifioso

however, if you think it is "fun" to collect up and dispose of bloated, dead fish, frogs, and salamanders on a chilly spring day, then you are wrong. Leave it ONE day too long though, and I swear, every neighborhood dog invades the pond and rolls in the dead things, and oh my god, you. cant. even.

If you see trif again, pls tell her that our ordinary pond fish survived many winters under snow and ice with no heater. They just caoodled to keep warm, I gue, because we started with 23 feeders and, at its peak, had about 300

yes, I did! we had 95% coverage of teh sun. it was great
3:47 pm

A male bear is called a boar or a he-bear. A female bear is called a sow or a she-bear. A group of bears is called a sleuth or sloth.

A group of crows is called a "murder"

a group of apes are called a "shrewdness"
6:13 pm
Eva

ooh like that one.
6:13 pm
crosshair

then there is a "prickle" of porcupines:)
6:14 pm
crosshair

and a "smack" of jellyfish... lol who dreams these up I wonder?
6:14 pm
crosshair

and one I like... A "tower" of giraffes
6:18 pm
Eva

a flamboyance of flamingos
6:18 pm

It's a sting of jellyfish
6:18 pm

and a clowder of cats
6:19 pm

how do porcupines make love?
6:20 pm
Scrabbler

Very carefully.
6:20 pm
Eva

yup
6:21 pm
bichon

lo 4/5, second one, I'm really embarrassed
6:21 pm
Scrabbler

I finished my 2014 taxes! I owe $1330 federal and $335 state. Like I didn't already pay enough.
6:22 pm
crosshair

Just make the duck face before kissing...
6:22 pm
bichon

We had to pay 47 G between Feds and State
6:22 pm

WHAT, bichon??
6:22 pm

6:23 pm

6:23 pm

Sorry, 7 G
6:23 pm

6:23 pm
Scrabbler

That sounds better, way better than 47k!
6:24 pm
bichon

we don't even have $7G in liquid assets
6:25 pm
Scrabbler

Oh, no! Can you borrow the money?
6:25 pm
crosshair

I do not have that problem. Just before tax time I suddenly decided to go on a trip. I would see all that i could see until I ran out of money... i had to turn back once I got to the mail box at the end of the driveway...
6:26 pm
crosshair

What are these "liquid assets" you speak of? lol
6:26 pm
Scrabbler

Haha.
6:27 pm
Scrabbler

Yes, that is hilarious.
6:27 pm
bichon

The liquid assets are what we could put together in a day
6:29 pm
Scrabbler

Was the 7K unexpected?
6:30 pm
bichon

NOt really, it had to do with my mother's death and her estate being combined with ours. I should have paid estimated taxes
6:31 pm
Scrabbler

I will be paying estimated quarterly taxes starting this year because I am now a business partner.
6:32 pm
crosshair

They are relentless are they not? By the time they were done with my beloveds mother's estate there was $700.00 left:(
6:33 pm
Scrabbler

I need to do some estate planning and update my will.
6:34 pm
crosshair

After the 2 year horror of dealing my m-i-l's will, I am determined to get a proper one done for myself so my kid does not have to go through that mess
6:35 pm
Scrabbler

Yes, it is owed to survivors.
6:36 pm
crosshair

The main problem was that half the stuff was verbal, half written down and the last update had been 10 years previous
6:37 pm
Dorens

I'll switch tax payments with you Scrabs
6:37 pm
crosshair

One bit of advice i took away after the 2 years of hell is this: "write it in the will!!!" Verbal bequeaths are not worth the air used to utter them
6:37 pm
Scrabbler

Yes, Crossy.
6:37 pm
Scrabbler

Doren, are you being hit hard?
6:38 pm
Dorens

hopefully not
6:41 pm
snags

Crossy, I just read your profile. I have always enjoyed your tidbits, or what have you, that you post. You know you can't please everyone, so why not just please yourself?? You are what matters and as long as it's not offensive, whom cares?? Bring it on!!!!
6:41 pm
crosshair

Even though my wife was the only female survivor, the remaining inheritors forced us to sell her mums wedding sets so they could squeeze the maximum cash possible out of the estate. Did not matter a whit that mum said she could have them when she was alive:( anyways i shall leave you to your taxes. Think I shall dive in this grid a bit and see if i can finish two days in a row:)
6:42 pm

Ty for your support ,Snags...
6:42 pm

I will keep on due to high response and popular demand. i should have never let a few sour apples get under my skin

I stopped counting the emails on this at 167, Snags:))

6:44 pm

you would be surprised how many very active babble lurkers we have. I got to speak with quite a few of them over the last little while;)
6:45 pm

I lurk because some of the babblers can be unkind. I come out to play when I see friendly icons.
6:47 pm

I love the early morning babblers. i get to chat with all the aussie, U.K, and euro players

Glad to hear it, Bugs. My husband takes after his mother who was the most cussed person I ever met
6:56 pm

lol, bugsaw. My grandad used to turn down his hearing aid so he could ignore my grammy's calls for chores:) She said she used to get so angry lol
6:56 pm

Don't give Mr Bugs ideas, crossy

Our next door neighbour has 5 dogs and he lets them all out at once. Now that is noisy. Then he had the nerve to complain that the crow who visits our birdtable was too noisy.
7:01 pm
crosshair

Well, he will just have to deal with the birds. What does he want? for you to shoo them??
7:01 pm
Bugsaw

I love crows. They are smart and remember nice people as well as the cranky ones
7:01 pm

shoot
7:02 pm

I am feeling inclined to shoot the darn dogs, especially the really yappy one
7:02 pm

7:04 pm

I raised a couple of baby crows that fell out of the nest when I was a kid. They ate canned cat food.
7:05 pm
jaxx7

We never to see crows in flocks but now the families fly together.
7:05 pm
Dorens

they didn't drive you stark raven mad?
7:05 pm

HaHa, Dorens. very good
7:06 pm

good one Dorens!
7:06 pm
crosshair

We raised a robin once:)
7:07 pm
jaxx7

i remember you telling me that, crossy, when we were trying to raise that baby robin last year
7:07 pm
crosshair

The hard par was regurgitating all those worms...:(
7:08 pm
Bugsaw

I found a robin's egg once and put it under my pillow to be the mother bird and keep it warm. Problem was that by bedtime I forgot it was there and slept on it. My mother was not impressed
7:08 pm
jaxx7

You should have tried mealworms, crossy. All nice and crunchy. lol
7:08 pm
rururocks

trying to hatch birds isn't all it's cracked up to be bugs
7:08 pm
crosshair

lol
7:08 pm

What did you feed your robin?
7:09 pm
Bugsaw

well done ruru
7:09 pm
crosshair

We started with baby formulae and an eyedropper
7:09 pm
jaxx7

Mini mealworms. my husband was mummy and the bird came when called.
7:10 pm
crosshair

then it was bugs, worms and high protein dog food as I recall. he used to steal food from the dogs dish
7:10 pm
Bugsaw

omg crossy. I had to do that with a drug addicted baby once. It took forever!
7:10 pm
crosshair

We avoided all bread products including crackers... used to give him the trotts;(
7:11 pm
rururocks

they should never allow babies to try crack..it's too addicting
7:11 pm
jaxx7

Not the bugs, worms and dog food I hope Bugs.
7:13 pm
Bugsaw

sorry jaxx. He was so uncomfortable all the time he just screamed so I had to time putting half a dropper full of milk on his tongue so he could swallow it without breathing it in. There were times we were so tired that I am sure bugs and worms were considered
7:15 pm
jaxx7

Just joking, Bugs. Poor little boy. Why parents do this to their children is beyond me.
7:16 pm
Bugsaw

I alwasy thot of him when I meet adults or teens who were addicted at birth. No wonder they are damaged
7:18 pm
jaxx7

It is a funny old world. There are folk desperate for kids that would give anything to have them. Then there are those who inlict great pain on the chidren they have.

I am going to head off as well. This grid wins over me today,but before I go it is time for Crossy's new "I can't believe people buy this stuff" files! Today's product is a scented candle that smells like--wait for it... freshly signed divorce papers!! http://tinyurl.com/nh5mtzw
