I have added the icelandic coin to the babblet list

3:23 am

sprite

puggggssssss! *hugs*

3:24 am

puglet

ALRIGHT!!!! love and hugs to you both

3:24 am

sprite

lovely to see you. How are you doing?

3:24 am

puglet

I'm doing very good now and you both sound up and good

3:25 am

grannyrose

whoot. it's like the old days before pugs started sleeping....lolol

3:25 am

sprite

ah that is wonderful news :)

3:25 am

sprite

rose, got a vid clip for you:
http://tinyurl.com/beww7jw

3:25 am

puglet

I guess working does that to one--lol

3:26 am

sprite

lol rose! It is awesome that you sleep better nowadays, pugs... of course we miss you, but it is nice to think you are sleeping well :D

3:26 am

sprite

working, less tension in the house, standing up for yourself, having a good guy in your life... yeah, all reasons for better sleep :)

3:26 am

puglet

so how are you two?

3:27 am

sprite

I am up, lol. If I am good is not for me to say... doubt it though ;)

3:28 am

puglet

lol--I could never picture as anything but good, Sprite nor our Rose either

3:29 am

sprite

but kidding aside, I am doing very well, pugs. Mentally and emotionally I am strong. The body is giving some trouble, but I can manage.

3:29 am

puglet

is that due to the gym? So very glad for you though

3:29 am

grannyrose

omgosh, sprite what a hoot!!

3:30 am

sprite

funny, isn't it, rose :D I love that vid.

3:31 am

puglet

Rose, your letter seem to say you are pleased with the new doctor--things still going good for you

3:31 am

sprite

the gym is ok for me. I had a day of family constellations followed by a stressy and very busy day, so I got two days of overtaxing after one another. Must heal up and then I'll be fine.

3:31 am

grannyrose

it sure is, sprite. pugs i went into hospital for the day and had my infusion therapy. i feel so good. no pain, i feel the cold and i am sleeping like a log.

3:32 am

puglet

thats so wonderful Rose----so happy for you

3:32 am

sprite

our rose is finally getting some living done, in stead of surviving

3:33 am

grannyrose

sure is. as don said earlier. you're in luck, i have plans for you later...

3:33 am

puglet

Now its your turn Sprite--will have to do some extra praying that it be so for you

3:33 am

sprite

rose, is that X totally ornamental today?

3:34 am

grannyrose

*giggle*

3:34 am

puglet

you two have dinner plans or special events for Easter

3:35 am

grannyrose

*leaves it to sprite's imagination*

3:35 am

sprite

working on it, pugs. Wait, let me send you a quick email about that.

3:35 am

puglet

okay Sprite

3:36 am

grannyrose

i do. my bros and their families are getting together for lunch easter sunday. church is going to take up a lot of the easter break.

3:36 am

puglet

are you sure you really want to do that Rose--lol

3:37 am

puglet

are you going to a park for that Rose? sounds nice though

3:38 am

sprite

*tickles rose until she gives up the info on the X*

3:39 am

sprite

sounds good, rose. Lovely family lunch. I must ask the kids what they would like. Not much plans yet.

3:39 am

puglet

I, myself picture three "x-es" lol

3:39 am

sprite

xxx for pugs

3:40 am

puglet

you coloring eggs and hiding them this year, Sprite

3:41 am

sprite

if the kids still want that. We have this tradition of hiding eggs and one special treat, and the special treat is very well hidden and I write a cryptic clue poem for each to help them find it.

3:43 am

puglet

does this include Rob too-lol Yes I remember last year with your daughter's friend wanting to join you guys on the fun

3:44 am

sprite

oh yes, indeed :) Had forgotten about that. No, Rob leaves it to me and he doesn't want a special treat. But he enjoys the fun. Anyway, if the kids want me to, we will do it this year again. And if not, fine with us.

3:44 am

grannyrose

sorry girls. call of nature. pugs, i have booked a restaurant and will cancel if the weather looks bad.

3:44 am

puglet

I'm sure they will---

3:45 am

sprite

no need to say sorry, rose. If nature calls, we mere mortals must run to the nearest toilet...

3:46 am

grannyrose

dumb, dodo, dumb, dumb. i will cancel if the weather looks GOOD!!

3:46 am

puglet

no need to be sorry Rose---we got a touch of winter upon us right now :(

3:46 am

sprite

lol

3:49 am

grannyrose

thus far the weather forecast is for rain right up to saturday. i am thinking the restaurant looks good.

3:50 am

grannyrose

BIG plus is that none of us will have cook or wash-up afterwards.

3:50 am

puglet

yesterday we had snow flurries and last night the temps dipped down into the teens--Old man winter just dont want to give up

3:51 am

sprite

brrrr pugs... let's hope it is his last hurray

3:51 am

puglet

so true Rose and thats nice for everyone(except the workers--lol)

3:51 am

sprite

rose, go to the restaurant. I mean, come on... good chairs. Good food. No cooking. No cleaning. And if the weather is awesome, ask them to open the doors and windows :D

3:52 am

grannyrose

hey, at the moment the workers are being paid double time and a 1/2 for working sunday.

3:52 am

sprite

the workers get paid for their trouble. So they should be happy too.

3:52 am

sprite

snap, rose :D

3:52 am

puglet

right on, on what Sprite says or if its nice a good old fashion walk, holding hands sounds nice

3:53 am

grannyrose

yeah, the restaurant is on the beach. sounds like a good thing with the kids with energy to spare.

3:54 am

sprite

oh absolutely. They can play and build sand castles and run through the shallow waves and all.

3:54 am

puglet

walking on the beach sounds really nice Rose--you are so lucky to have that to enjoy

3:54 am

sprite

and much easier on your body, rose. I would go for it. If the family appreciates your company, they can come to the restaurant :)

3:55 am

grannyrose

yeah, sounds good. i will email the bros tomorrow.

3:55 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Such a wise woman *sighs in admiration*

3:57 am

puglet

Now Sprite, what about you? How can we plan a nice romantic easter day for you--lol

3:57 am

grannyrose

and you pugs!! a nice romantic easter for you is called for i think>

3:58 am

sprite

I am good, darling, thanks. Easter is not something I really want to celebrate. I am ok just thinking of Jesus and his struggle and his death... feeling Him close to me and knowing He cares.

3:58 am

puglet

my guy is almost two thousands miles away--but we will talk and we are hoping in may for him to come here

3:59 am

grannyrose

at least a phone call pugs.

4:00 am

sprite

I am so glad, every time you talk about your guy it sounds good. He thinks the world of you, doesn't he, pugs. As he should :)

4:00 am

puglet

yes the phone is what it will be right now

4:01 am

grannyrose

pugs, how is your sis doing. are the new activities helping her?

4:01 am

puglet

but Sprite, you and Rob having a date day/night would be nice for you

4:02 am

sprite

true, pugs. Must see if the circumstances here will allow it.

4:02 am

puglet

Sister is doing pretty good right now and will write you on that place(which I am not too happy with) but I have went another route

4:02 am

sprite

oh, btw pugs, I sent you an email just now with some personal news :)

4:03 am

puglet

do you need me to read it now and answer right away?

4:03 am

sprite

no sweetie, no hurry. Whenever it suits you, the news will keep.

4:04 am

puglet

okay, will write as soon as I can to you both

4:05 am

sprite

it's all good, pugs. We know you are crazy busy.

4:06 am

puglet

I wish at times it wasent so for I miss being here with you all

4:07 am

sprite

we miss you too, darling. But it is all for a good cause. You being happier than back with W is such a pleasure to see.

4:08 am

puglet

true---I need the extra hours to purchase a new furance before next winter

4:08 am

grannyrose

pugs, love, we know how busy you are, sweetie. and the fact you are sleeping so well is such a blessing. an email to keep us in touch would be more than enough. just to let us know you are still breathing....lolol

4:09 am

sprite

that makes perfect sense. It is quite a job to keep it all going there by yourself. That you are managing is another proof of how strong and resilient you are.

4:09 am

Marc Freeman

Are there two mo8's? I have the one where the first part is an engine and the second part is not a women. If so, I need a clue for the other mo8, please?

4:10 am

puglet

lol--I will sure try keeping in touch for sure

4:10 am

sprite

Marc, the other means having an engine

4:10 am

grannyrose

marc, mo8, car + r*** to the occasion

4:11 am

puglet

thanks Sprite but sometimes I dont feel so--lol and then I think how strong Rose was and she had all those boys too

4:11 am

grannyrose

then past tense it for the mo9

4:11 am

Marc Freeman

got it thanks

4:12 am

sprite

whenever you don't feel strong, think of us and what we keep telling you. And realise that you are taking care of a farm, a sister, a job, a household, a relationship and friendships. That takes a LOT of strength, darling.

4:12 am

Marc Freeman

What are the stats for the other 7, I have the to7, please?

4:12 am

grannyrose

mo7/32

4:12 am

sprite

4:13 am

puglet

I do Sprite and your book helps very much too

4:13 am

sprite

*hugs rose and giggles*

4:14 am

sprite

I am so glad it does, pugs. But please realise that you are the one doing it all. The book helps, but you are the one reading it, and processing it, and putting it to good use. Take the credit you are due!

4:15 am

Marc Freeman

does the mo7 also start with the engine?

4:15 am

grannyrose

no marc, go the other way

4:15 am

I am in the middle of tests for, wait for it, hyperthyroidism.

4:52 am

jaxx7

4:53 am

grannyrose

ugh....poor you. but the meds are available. and the surgery is relatively simple.

4:53 am

jaxx7

My bones are strong so no osteoporosis.

4:53 am

ditto what i said for para hyperthryroidism.

4:55 am

On the bright side, the Social workers are gone. My grandson is doing well at school, and the rest of the family are well.

4:56 am

grannyrose

nice jaxx. when do you get the results back?

4:56 am

jaxx7

Still going through them, Rose. The NHS is not what it was.

4:57 am

How are you?

4:58 am

hi crossy

7:24 am

Howdy, JBV. My poor beloved choked on a couple of tylenol and ended up breathing in the coffee she was sipping to take the pills with. coffe all over they computer, the keyboard, all over her desk, and there I am trying to help her clear coffee out of her lungs and chasing down the ejected tylenol before the cats eat them.. whew!

7:25 am

crosshair

That's what I like--a nice relaxing Saturday morning:)

7:26 am

crosshair

Now I am trying to save the keyboard. Shook all the coffee out of it , and now I am taking the hair dryer to it:/

7:28 am

crosshair

My beloved gave up on the Tylenol, and the computer, and is now huddled up in her chair with a book, coughing out the last of her dark roast:(

7:35 am

JBV

hi crossy - sorry to hear about your misadventures with Tylenol and coffee - hope the missus is OK!

7:36 am

crosshair

She seems better now. At least she is able to speak without coughing:)

7:36 am

JBV

if you can laugh about it now, all is well

7:36 am

crosshair

I told her that we may have to crush her pills up in a teaspoon and add a bit of honey:)

7:37 am

JBV

some people say it's easier to swallow pills with food than with liquid

7:37 am

JBV

also caplets go down better than round pills

7:37 am

I find using a straw with the liquid you are using to take the pill with can help

I cannot take pills with hot liquid

a buck three eighty, ru

LOL! True; I've always been amazed he's done it all these years

10:50 am

maybe wildcat can take up a collection again for the Aussies and rip off everyone again ?

10:50 am

Nef

LOL! Uhuh; (you have a LONG memory, ru!)

10:51 am

MollyL

I just had a flashback to the 1920's with "a buck three eighty"
: D

10:51 am

MollyL

I'd have a long memory too if she had stolen that much money from me

10:51 am

Nef

why the '20's, Molly?

10:51 am

rururocks

I have a very, very long memory nef

10:53 am

Nef

I donated to that too; but chalked it up to a lesson learnedâ€¦.

10:53 am

rururocks

oh I learned too. I can't believe how stupid I am sometimes

10:54 am

rururocks

<---trusting, kind, generous.... and dumb

10:55 am

MollyL

Trusting only equals stupid if you keep trusting an untrustworthy person. Or believing someone who lies all the time.

10:56 am

rururocks

hmmm. good way to look at that

10:56 am

Nef

well, thanks to that incident, whenever I've donated money online since then I've made sure that 2 people are involved in collecting $$; and they aren't related or even in the same location. I've had no further problem since then

10:57 am

MollyL

Um..there was more than one person involved in the collection here. And I think there is a lot more to that story than we will ever know.

10:57 am

rururocks

all I know is not much made its way to Mr. P

10:57 am

Nef

(I'm in a private group & we've collected $$ for spousal deaths, illnesses and a couple other things like that

10:58 am

rururocks

I will certainly never do something like that again..

10:59 am

MollyL

Paypal is the only safe way to send someone money via the internet. It goes directly to their Paypal account.

11:00 am

rururocks

too bad wildcat didn't go to payjail

11:03 am

MollyL

A very unfortunate incident. She was trusted to pass on money that was sent to her (in her name) and did not. Illegal, maybe not. Immoral, definitely.

11:05 am

rururocks

true

11:05 am

rururocks

I'm sure that's why she signed up to accept the monies

11:10 am

"wildcat" attempted to friend my husband on fb not too long ago. I told him to reject and complain. She had no cause to do that. I trust once, but that's all.

People should be careful what they post on line about their financial situation. It can make them an easy target for someone who knows how to "cry poor" in a convincing way.

There's a campaign afoot apparently to replace Old Hickory with the face of a deserving woman. A heated debate in some quarters though I don't know if it's being taken seriously by the Treasury Dept.
