1:01 am

not too bad, thanx dee. magnesium infusion has worn off. back on the tablets. and you, dear friend?

1:03 am

VolleymomDee

odd day today; a friend's husband died unexpectedly earlier this week. We went to the viewing this afternoon - sad about his death, but saw so many people from my old work life. Seeing them brought back alot of wonderful memories and times...

1:04 am

VolleymomDee

He died less than a month after a cancer diagnosis... so family didn't feel like they had enough time to say goodbye

1:04 am

grannyrose

am so sorry to hear about the loss, dee. not easy to deal with. was it expected?

1:04 am

grannyrose

oh, just read.

1:05 am

VolleymomDee

They thought he had about 9 months; he was diagnosed 3/12 and died 4/7

1:05 am

grannyrose

just like my dad. diagnosed, and gone within 6 weeks. i was grateful that he died still looking like my dad.

1:05 am

VolleymomDee

A definite reminder today that we have no control ...

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

Valid point, rose

1:06 am

VolleymomDee

He was an ornery guy... 40 years ago he introduced me to Drambuie LOL

1:07 am

grannyrose

our church organist is grieving badly. he was to go interstate for his niece's wedding this weekend. but she was murdered 4 days ago. they have only just found her body. the police have the murderer in custody.

1:07 am

VolleymomDee

Let me tag along with my friend during a time my hubby was working and gone alot

1:07 am

VolleymomDee

Oh, how totally awful, rose. Was the murderer someone she knew??

1:08 am

grannyrose

yes. he was the cleaner at the school where she taught.

1:08 am

dizgrannie

OH NO Granny not Stephanie

1:08 am

VolleymomDee

What on earth motivated him to kill her?????

1:08 am

grannyrose

diz... :-( you know her?

1:08 am

Lizlin

Aw Rose - how awful - so sorry :(:(:(

1:09 am

dizgrannie

no Granny, just hearing about her this past week - God Bless her soul.

1:09 am

grannyrose

we don't know yet, dee. but suffice to say he is one very sick puppy. he took pictures of her burnt body on his phone.

1:10 am

VolleymomDee

makes me sick to my stomach... hideous

1:11 am

grannyrose

our organist has been sharing with us pictures of her, and stories about his family, waaaay before this happened. we sort of feel we know her and his family quite well.

1:11 am

Lizlin

So sorry to read about your friend's husband, too, Dee :(:(

1:11 am

VolleymomDee

Sure makes you wonder how he was hired to work in a school.

1:11 am

VolleymomDee

Thanks so much, Liz!!

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

Life is surely precious.

1:12 am

Lizlin

Back to lurking - doing Passover clean up now.

1:12 am

grannyrose

yeah, dee. especially would like to know how he passed the Working With Children checks.

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

Bet that is taking some time :)

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

Exactly what I was thinking, rose.

1:12 am

Lizlin

Very stressful - fitting stuff back into boxes!

1:13 am

grannyrose

liz, loved the cartoon of the birds...lolol

1:13 am

Lizlin

2 more hours -then bread, here I come!

1:13 am

VolleymomDee

Definitely know that feeling after our Christmas celebration here.

1:14 am

rururocks

bread?

1:14 am

Lizlin

It's a major thing, if like us, you change over everything - totally different crockery, cutlery pots and pans etc.

1:14 am

Lizlin

Shouldn't really be doing it either before passover ends or on the sabbath, but there you go! Such heathens!

1:15 am

VolleymomDee

no yeast, ru

1:15 am

rururocks

oh.. you don't have to Challah liz :D

1:15 am

Lizlin

lol, Ru. Looking forward to making challah again on Thursday and regular bread tomorrow.

1:15 am

VolleymomDee

have a few friends in pittsburgh that are very strict, liz... double appliances in kitchen

1:16 am

VolleymomDee

beautiful traditions

1:16 am

rururocks

double appliances don't sound kosher to me

1:16 am

Lizlin

Same here - 2 dishwashers!

1:16 am

VolleymomDee

lol, ru, you are a brat

1:16 am

rururocks

:D

1:17 am

VolleymomDee

Definitely creates a lot of work; have great respect for you

1:17 am

rururocks

Hmmm does that mean I can have a regular mistress and then a kosher one too?

1:18 am

Lizlin

Don't know about that! My "line" is wiggly by the standards of many others, but I'm consistent in what I do.

1:18 am

Lizlin

As long as you don't mix them up, Ru!

1:19 am

VolleymomDee

Still a beautiful sentiment, Liz.

1:19 am

VolleymomDee

did you have a lot of guests, liz?

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

oh, congrats, rose... stuck with 26 here

1:20 am

Lizlin

Only on Thursday night - don't have that many close friends here -haven't really lived here that long.

1:21 am

Lizlin

Need to go and help hubby, who's doing all the packing up - I'm just reading lists from the computer! What goes where etc. BBL

1:22 am

rururocks

*wonders if liz has a kosher computer too*

1:22 am

dizgrannie

FWs

1:22 am

VolleymomDee

Enjoy, Liz.

1:22 am

VolleymomDee

wtg, diz

1:23 am

Lizlin

Apple's aren't kosher or not kosher

1:23 am

Lizlin

Sorry about the rogue apostrophe!

1:24 am

corih

What makes an Apple not kosher? I don't know that rule.

1:24 am

Lizlin

That's what I'm saying -they're neither kosher nor not kosher. They're just OK

1:25 am

corih

oh, ok

1:25 am

Lizlin

Was just joking about my computer - but really going now.

1:26 am

grannyrose

3:05 am

3:11 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} my dearest sprite.

3:11 am

sprite

cooooooeeeeeee rose! Quit kissing your delectable man and join me here!

3:11 am

grannyrose

;-P

3:11 am

sprite

lol! Good girl. *hugs* my dear friend. How was your day? And how was the movie yesterday?

3:12 am

grannyrose

movie was great....bicentennial man. a robin williams film. there are such a lot of one liners in it.

3:13 am

sprite

robin williams is niceeeee!

3:13 am

sprite

and I think it is based on an Asimov story... always good

3:14 am

grannyrose

have achieved a lots today. three loads of washing, both bathrooms cleaned, dishes washed, bed stripped but not remade yet...no pain, and spasms under control with the magnesium.

3:14 am

sprite

wow rose, that is so good!

3:14 am

grannyrose

yes it is, sprite. well done. * points tp sprite. THAT's my friend*

3:15 am

sprite

wow :) *grins proudly*

3:15 am

grannyrose

and how are you? how was the night? and yesterday?

3:16 am

sprite

I slept pretty well. And yesterday was good. I was pooped after the shopping, but I had planned an easy menu and it all went fine. Kids ate late, they had a school night. So it was just rob and me at dinner time... nice and quiet, lol.

3:17 am

grannyrose

next film is to be ' the book-thief'. do you know it?

3:17 am

sprite

no, but I think I read the book. By Zumak or Muzak or something like that

3:18 am

grannyrose

Zusak

3:19 am

sprite

ah. Close but no cigar. Yeah. About a girl that steals books and shares them, to counter the nastiness of the war.

3:20 am

grannyrose

yes, you got it. only the mistress of the house left books out for her to take.

3:21 am

sprite

ah ok. You view great movies there in church. Not really churchy movies.

3:22 am

grannyrose

yes. as the vicar said...the narthex/foyer is not the same as the worship room. swearing is allowed, with some limitations.

3:22 am

sprite

aw I like your vicar. Very good. Makes it easier to find good movies to share. Those that give insight in what it is to be human.

3:23 am

sprite

woooot found a 7-8-9 combo!

3:24 am

grannyrose

have you ever seen 'the commitments' ? the 'f' bomb is dropped all through, but the vicar said that it's okay.

3:24 am

sprite

no, haven't seen it and I don't think I know anything about it. Let me see.

3:24 am

grannyrose

and her personal choice is ' the blues brothers'.

3:25 am

sprite

awwwww that is sweet! She is a wonderful woman, isn't she.

3:26 am

sprite

out of the blue, but here is what I thought: have you guys seen "Yentl"?

3:27 am

grannyrose

with barbra streisand?

3:27 am

sprite

yes

3:28 am

grannyrose

sprite, she one of the best people i know.....well....after you of course....col

3:28 am

grannyrose

yes, i have seen it, dear. it's a ripper of a film.

3:28 am

sprite

roflol I am pretty sure she is a much better person than I. But thank you, my dear friend. I feel ten feet tall :D

3:29 am

grannyrose

see how slim you look??

3:29 am

sprite

I love that movie. And so inspiring to see a woman in that country, in that faith, in that time, aspiring to learn.

3:30 am

sprite

*giggles* I still pack a wallop, even at 10 feet.

3:30 am

grannyrose

sprite, you would have been so proud of me. i found that he7/8/9 combo just after the flip. i was stunned.

3:30 am

sprite

oh wow rose! Well done you!

3:31 am

grannyrose

i posted, and une was knocked off her chair...lol

3:31 am

sprite

roflol! Une is a good 'un.

3:33 am

grannyrose

i have no idea how many times he has watched this film....but....don is watching casa blanca AGAIN!! if this keeps up, i will be word perfect on the dialogue just as he is.

3:33 am

sprite

some movies are like that. You can just watch them over and over until you know them by heart.

3:34 am

sprite

lol... it is not of the same level... but I know each and every line of Ghostbusters. Now that is a movie that is one series of one-liners.

3:34 am

grannyrose

*rolls eyes* can i come over to your place? pleeeese

3:34 am

sprite

sure sweetie. Give Scotty a prod.

3:35 am

grannyrose

oh yeah, and aladdin, with robin williams as the genie...or good morning vietnam.

3:35 am

grannyrose

a cattle prod??

3:36 am

sprite

oh yes, aladdin. Not sure about Good Morning Vietnam. I really shouldn't watch war movies.

3:36 am

sprite

a cattle prod might incapacitate him. Remember he isn't that young anymore. Start with poking him between the ribs. With one finger.

3:37 am

grannyrose

sprite. there isn't a lot of war stuff in that film. only one scene i can recall where the viet cong blow up a cafe frequented by GI's.

3:37 am

grannyrose

but the nasty stuff is very limited.

3:37 am

sprite

hm ok, sounds like I could manage that one. My friends once took me to watch Platoon, in the cinema. I left after half an hour. Had nightmares for months.

3:38 am

grannyrose

the first time i saw aladdin i nearly laughed myself inti ICU.

3:38 am

sprite

lol yes, aladdin is absolutely awesome.

3:39 am

grannyrose

ugh...don't blame you honey. and the thin blue line or was it the thin red line...they all make me sick.

3:39 am

grannyrose

and catch twenty-two. i read the book, walked out of the movie.

3:40 am

sprite

at some point I have learned not to expose myself to that kind of movies. Books are not as bad. But some books... nope, not for me.

3:41 am

grannyrose

i know, our imaginations are enough, right?

3:41 am

sprite

oftentimes even too much, yeah

3:41 am

grannyrose

it's strange...but the oriental action movies i can watch.

3:42 am

sprite

I can watch most action movies. As long as they are not based on any real stories.

3:42 am

grannyrose

like ' house of flying daggars '

3:43 am

grannyrose

ugh... daggers

3:43 am

sprite

don't know that one

3:43 am

grannyrose

sprite, it is really beautiful. the photography leaves you breathless.

3:43 am

sprite

omg... 13 Ks? How did I miss that darn K?

3:44 am

sprite

will keep that one in mind then :)

3:44 am

grannyrose

i simply cannot watch anything that demeans women, or explicitly tortures another human. it is too much.

3:46 am

sprite

anything that demeans people, or torture, or war.

3:48 am

grannyrose

exactly.

3:49 am

sprite

I don't watch much tv. And when I do, I want to be entertained. If I want exposure to real world suffering, I can watch the news. Which... I don't.

3:50 am

grannyrose

liz was here earlier. she was hanging for some decent bread...lolol

3:50 am

sprite

aw poor girl! She was so ready for passover to be... over.

3:50 am

grannyrose

she should be tucking into some sort of sandwich about now.... *giggle*

3:51 am

sprite

Ks killed.

3:51 am

grannyrose

whoot sprite. you rock gorl!!

3:51 am

grannyrose

ugh!!! girl

3:52 am

sprite

* am a ricking girl*

3:52 am

grannyrose

*giggling* and don is looking at me as if i am strange...

3:53 am

sprite

tsk. he is strange. You are perfectly normal.

3:54 am

grannyrose

yeah, right! the only two positive words which together make a negative.

3:54 am

sprite

or normally perfect. Or both.

3:56 am

sprite

lol, normal is just a measure that none of us are.

3:57 am

grannyrose

don says normal is just a setting on a washing machine. wanna spin with me??

3:57 am

sprite

I like that!

3:58 am

grannyrose

which?? don's definition? or my invitation ?

3:58 am

sprite

both!

3:59 am

grannyrose

* giggle * how did i know you would say that?

3:59 am

sprite

cuz you're my soul sista!

3:59 am

grannyrose

and i knew you would say that!! *sigh*

4:00 am

sprite

but you didn't know how I would spell it :P

4:00 am

sprite

I should have typed: cuz yo ma soul sista

4:01 am

grannyrose

*rolls eyes* i can just see us tring to have a conversation...you filling in my blanks, and i filling in yours.

4:01 am

sprite

and giggling all the time. Our guys will go crazy.

4:02 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Rose, Sprite :-)

4:02 am

sprite

4:02 am

sprite

hello zooz, dear man! How are you this morning?

4:02 am

grannyrose

omg. can you see it? darling, says Rob, ....and me answering or vice versa. our men are going to go nuts.

4:03 am

grannyrose

ooooh! {{hugs}} dear zooz

4:03 am

zoozzoom

I am well thank you..Had some trolls on here last night.

4:03 am

sprite

yep. Cannot be helped. They will have to adapt.

4:03 am

sprite

ugh, that sucks, zooz. I hope they were ignored?

4:03 am

grannyrose

ugh, zooz. not nice.

4:04 am

zoozzoom

They had disgusting monikas..But at least they have gone now :-)

4:04 am

sprite

probably asleep, lol

4:05 am

zoozzoom

Not seen 0-0 on here for a long time.

4:06 am

sprite

no, I heard he went through a very bad phase. Down with severe depression. I hope he is doing a little better now.

4:07 am

zoozzoom

Not a nice place to be at all.

4:07 am

grannyrose

btw zooz....the film last night? it was ' bicentennial man '.

4:08 am

grannyrose

so his new meds weren't 'holding' him? poor man.

4:08 am

zoozzoom

Never heard of it, Rose.But glad you had a great time!

4:08 am

sprite

no, o-o has darker spells than most of us. Not an easy thing at all to live with.

4:09 am

grannyrose

zooz, it is a robin williams film. he plays a robot.

4:09 am

zoozzoom

He was a fantastic actor!

4:09 am

grannyrose

and comedian!!

4:09 am

sprite

amen to that

4:09 am

grannyrose

his one liners are hilarious!!

4:10 am

zoozzoom

I loved mork & mindy LOL

4:10 am

sprite

me too me too nanu nanu!

4:10 am

zoozzoom

LOl

4:10 am

grannyrose

zooz, a lot of his script in that series was adlibbed.

4:11 am

sprite

awesome, isn't it? To have such wit, and to be allowed to use it in a series.

4:11 am

zoozzoom

Yes i had heard that before.Shows how talented he was!

4:11 am

sprite

" If my knees knock any louder, I'm gonna look inside my pants and see who's there."

4:12 am

zoozzoom

Teehee!

4:12 am

grannyrose

we have read several reviews of bicentennial man. it appears he had to stick to the script. but i swear there are some one-liners in that film which could only have come from him.

4:13 am

sprite

he may have convinced the script writers to include them :D

4:13 am

zoozzoom

Is it a long film, rose?

4:14 am

grannyrose

one line, where a grown-up son of one of the characters was being particularly obnoxious. he walked off the scene.... saying...no wonder some animals eat their young.

4:14 am

sprite

Mindy: Why are you building a tower of Cheerioats?
Mork: Because it's hard to stack oatmeal.

4:14 am

sprite

lolll I like that one

4:15 am

grannyrose

zooz, it runs for just over 2 hours.

4:17 am

zoozzoom

Sorry about that bloody computer did an update and restarted without asking me first.will have to have words with it!

4:17 am

sprite

but after those 2 hours it drops dead of exhaustion and you can watch it at your leasure

4:19 am

grannyrose

*giggle* sprite. zooz, you gotta watch those updates, mate.

4:19 am

zoozzoom

Did you go the whole experience and have the popcorn too, Rose :-)

4:19 am

sprite

change your settings for automatic updates to automatically download, but ask for install.

4:20 am

grannyrose

is now a good time to go and get my meds ready?

4:20 am

zoozzoom

I would sneek my food in as a small box of popcorn is about £7 and the drinks are about the same.

4:20 am

sprite

sure sweetie. Whenever you like.

4:20 am

zoozzoom

Go get those meds, Rose!

4:21 am

grannyrose

*giggle* zooz. strange you should ask that. we are thinking of buying a popcorn maker.

4:21 am

sprite

we go to the cinema about once a year. And we smuggle in our own drinks and goodies. No popcorn. Don't like popcorn. But M&Ms with nuts, yummie :D

4:22 am

zoozzoom

Nice!

4:22 am

zoozzoom

I had a packet of the nut m&ms yesterday :-)

4:22 am

zoozzoom

They are on offer £1 for a packet.

4:23 am

sprite

very nice. I shouldn't eat them, they are really bad for diabetes. Sugar, chocolate and nuts. But once in a while...

4:24 am

sprite

poopcorn. Now that is an image.

4:25 am

zoozzoom

Yes a treat I think is good for you, Sprite.

4:25 am

zoozzoom

I know right! hahaha

4:25 am

sprite

:D

4:26 am

zoozzoom

Did you have the bolognese the other day in the end, Sprite?

4:26 am

sprite

yes I did! Made it from scratch and it was awesome.

4:26 am

zoozzoom

Good for you!

4:27 am

zoozzoom

Hope the family appreicated it too.

4:27 am

sprite

4:29 am

zoozzoom

What are you having tonight, Rose?

4:29 am

grannyrose

4:29 am

grannyrose

chicken in satay sauce, zooz

4:30 am

sprite

oh yummy

4:30 am

zoozzoom

Very nice, Rose..yum yum

4:30 am

grannyrose

butter... not at all good for the cholesterol levels...but NOTHING tastes like it.

4:30 am

zoozzoom

A lot of the popcorn makers these days do not require any oil or butter.

4:31 am

sprite

never could figure out the appeal of popcorn. But then I don't like butter at all.

4:32 am

grannyrose

oh, thank goodness...casablanca has finished..

4:32 am

zoozzoom

I love both ..And if I do have popcorn at the cinema I will have salted & honey ones mixed together :-)

4:32 am

sprite

grannyrose

4:34 am

zoozzoom

Teehee! And I still can not put on weight so I wil take those with thanks and shove them down my throat..yum yum!

4:34 am

sprite

fireflies

4:44 am

puglet

I was upset with the place I told you all about to work with sister on her mental health for they came once about 2 months ago and then just stopped. No call or nothing and I stopped in their office and called a few times and then yesterday while at work they came at last and have started a program so I feel allot beter towards them for right now

4:44 am

zoozzoom

Congrats, Sprite!

4:45 am

sprite

jeezz how nonchalant of them, pugs. Glad you went there and told them to get their act together. Did your sister enjoy it?

4:45 am

sprite

thanks zooz :)

4:45 am

puglet

congrats Sprite. He is still states away and working on the move(more problems there) will email you on that but we are good

4:46 am

sprite

4:47 am

puglet

so how are you and how did the cooking go?

4:49 am

sprite

cooking went well, again. I am starting to get the hang of it, lol.
I am fine. Really fine. Even managed to lose about 4 kg. The coming appt with the surgeon inspired me, hahaha.

4:50 am

puglet

so very happy for you and I wish you all the best on that too

4:52 am

sprite

thanks dear friend. I know you do and it means a lot to me to have that support.

4:53 am

puglet

4:53 am

grannyrose

and back. WTG SPRITE!!!!

4:54 am

puglet

yahoo Rose!

4:54 am

puglet

How is your pain Rose? Is the new meds helping

4:55 am

grannyrose

sprite, over here the surgeon expects the patient to consume optifast prducts to reduce the fatty liver.

4:55 am

grannyrose

pugs....magnesium infusion has worn off. the tablets are holding me. no pain to speak of.

4:56 am

Lizlin

Hi all and hugs :)

4:56 am

puglet

sorry Zoom, didnt mean to take over chat and cause you to feel left out blowing in the wind

4:56 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Liz :-)

4:56 am

grannyrose

and yahoo!! here is liz girl back. xoxox my dear.

4:57 am

puglet

Hugs and Love Liz! YEAH the whole gang is here

4:57 am

zoozzoom

Not at all, Puglet...I am busy looking for words :-)

4:57 am

sprite

hi Liz! *hugs*

4:57 am

grannyrose

except our beloved ruby.

4:57 am

Lizlin

So we're all here, including Zooz. Wow! Long time since that's happened

4:57 am

zoozzoom

I never feel left out, pugs...believe me i have more than my fair share of the chat log..lol

4:57 am

Lizlin

Yes, except Ruby

4:58 am

sprite

will email you about that, rose

4:58 am

puglet

How is Ruby? Last I heard from her she wasent well nor her hubby either

4:58 am

sprite

still about the same, pugs

4:58 am

Lizlin

Things seem very tough for her

4:58 am

sprite

she should get help soon, Burt's daughter is coming for a couple of weeks

4:59 am

Lizlin

Hopefully she'll be a help

4:59 am

puglet

that will give her a nice break I hope

4:59 am

zoozzoom

On the plus side.Her husband can now eat downstairs.

5:01 am

sprite

ah, that is progress.

5:01 am

sprite

I hope ruby will let daughter do things :D

5:01 am

puglet

do they not have in-home health care there for the elderly

5:03 am

grannyrose

i don't think so, pugs

5:03 am

sprite

yes they do. But ruby thinks it will kill Burt to be there. It will certainly be hard on him. But the way things are now, this is too hard on ruby.

5:04 am

Lizlin

It's very difficult for her. I think she'd feel very guilty to put him in care.

5:04 am

grannyrose

oh... are we talking of help coming to burt in his home, or burt moving into a nursing home?

5:04 am

Lizlin

But she also needs to think about her health.

5:05 am

puglet

I was talking about help coming to their home

5:05 am

Lizlin

Either!

5:05 am

grannyrose

over here we have healthcare pro's visiting the elderly in their own homes.

5:06 am

Lizlin

I don't think the language differences help either :(

5:07 am

puglet

we do too and also for those who cant get out of their home and on goverment health care

5:09 am

sprite

ah, yes, she has a nurse visiting once a day, I believe. But that was to watch his wound.

5:09 am

sprite

ruby speaks very good french. But Burt does not.

5:10 am

Lizlin

That's what I mean, so he isn't happy with non English speaking carers - very frustrating.

5:11 am

sprite

yeah. On the other hand, he has lived there for ages. And he is wicked smart, and can read russian. So he could easily have learned french in that time.

5:12 am

Lizlin

Stubborn, I guess?

5:13 am

sprite

hahahaha you got him to a T. Yes, very stubborn. A lovely man, don't get me wrong. And gentle and fragile in a way. But darn stubborn.

5:14 am

grannyrose

liz, sprite, pugs, we have a lot of elderly patients whose first language is not english. we, patients and nurses manage very well. what is the difference for burt in france?

5:15 am

puglet

I think he should give a thought to Ruby's well being

5:15 am

Lizlin

I got the impression from Ruby's comments that it's more to do with Burts understanding of everything now.

5:15 am

sprite

wellllllll let's just say that um... french people... and I know this is a generalisation... aren't inclined to do their best to communicate with other languages. Most don't even slow down their speech if you ask them to.

5:16 am

grannyrose

btw, youngest son and wife dropped i today. they have come up with the idea that i provide the deposit for the house and they pay off the loan, in their names.

5:16 am

Lizlin

Sad to say that's certainly the generalised feeling in the UK.

5:17 am

sprite

yeah, that is true, Liz, Burt is also speedily growing worse that way. But that is something nurses are used to.

5:17 am

puglet

why would they think its your place to do that Rose

5:17 am

grannyrose

* by * not * i *

5:17 am

sprite

how do you feel about that, rose?

5:18 am

grannyrose

pugs, if they take on the house, it would be a terrific load off my shoulders.

5:18 am

Lizlin

What security would you have

5:19 am

grannyrose

and in my will, the first $xx,xxx goes to his brother.

5:19 am

puglet

well lifting any stress from your life is a plus, I would say

5:20 am

Lizlin

I agree with you there pugs.

5:20 am

sprite

as long as they take over the loan, on their names, it sounds like a good deal then. But make sure they SIGN.

5:20 am

grannyrose

liz, i would have the equity in the property.

5:21 am

Lizlin

OK

5:22 am

grannyrose

i bought the property for $80K it is now worth over $300K.

5:22 am

Lizlin

How long ago did you buy it?

5:22 am

grannyrose

liz, over 12 years ago.

5:23 am

sprite

wow, that is awesome, rose. But hm... I don't really understand which deposit you are talking about, if the house has been in your name for so long

5:23 am

Lizlin

Fantastic

5:26 am

grannyrose

yeah, lol, sprite. josh did have an enormous grin on his dial when we talked about me giving them the deposit for the house. i am going to get a couple of evaluations on the property next week.

5:27 am

grannyrose

josh's grin was at the thought that i would be putting down the deposit on a property i already 'own'.

5:29 am

grannyrose

with all the monies pouring in from my ex-employer...i really do have money to spare.

5:29 am

Lizlin

Just check you spend plenty on yourselves ;)

5:30 am

grannyrose

abso-bl***y-lutely liz

5:31 am

puglet

if it makes you feel better and you wish to help out your family and it removes stress from your life, then go for it! Just protect yourself on matters like this--family or not

5:31 am

puglet

I dont mean for that to sound rude--sorry

5:31 am

grannyrose

the principal on my 'loan' has dipped well below $AU 70K

5:32 am

grannyrose

pugs, i hear you sweetie

5:33 am

Lizlin

Time for me to go. Hubby's been watching a programme about Aussie comedy - couldn't really relate to it! Finished now so time to be sociable! Really happy to have caught up with all of you. Hugs :) xx

I have most of the day off today :) Just some laundry and a walk with Terra. Which is a good thing since the fridays with shopping and cooking give me afterpain. But it isn't too bad today.

5:57 am

grannyrose

nice, sprite. i hope you get comfort from it. and that your poor body gets some relief. xoxox

6:00 am

crosshair

And now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day. Today I wish to share last words of famous authors. Oscar Wilde was born in 1854, and passed away in 1900, uttering as his last words: "Either this wallpaper goes, or I do." let this be a lesson , gentlemen not to interfere with the ladies when it comes to home decorating!

6:00 am

josephjames

Or a lesson to the ladies to take statements like that seriously?

6:01 am

crosshair

Yes, there is that, but the gentlemen only wins the battle, but loses the war:(

6:01 am

grannyrose

* giggling * crossy. xoxox to a very dear man.

6:01 am

6:01 am

and g'day jj

6:01 am

Unless you consider that the lady might rather lose the wallpaper than the man. Then they've both lost the war.

6:02 am

crosshair

Thoughts to ponder for a Saturday morning as the Mrs shows you wallpaper samples....

6:04 am

crosshair

I think a spot of tea is in order, brb

6:07 am

And now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day! I have been sitting here since early this morning, while the rest of my family sleeps in on this quiet Saturday morning. I have been listening to music, which, unfortunately, I rarely get to do as often as i would like, and started listening to some old John Denver tunes. Listening to John has always been a guilty pleasure for me, because by and large those who were born after his tragic death little note or care for his style of music. I would like to share a video with you of John singing one of his lesser-heard tunes. What strikes me the most about this recording of "The Wings That Fly Us Home" Is the unvarnished state in which he gives it to us. there is no fancy production, no back-up singers, no huge orchestra hovering behind him as he sings. We get to hear every dropped beat, every chord that is not quite perfect, and every moment his timing is off; we hear what he has to say through his music with crystal clarity, and to me, that just makes this song even more special... http://tinyurl.com/kglb6oc

You are quite welcome, Mubner:) I know that people can just surf the net for everything I go on about here in the chog. However, I hope that those who enjoy my tidbits look forward to them as a small present for the start of their day; perhaps it is nothing but an odd bit of information I bring to you, or a quote from some author from long ago, or, like today, a beautiful song from a talented singer taken from us far too soon. If you enjoy what I share, then I am content:)

lol,Cybernan. he like to hunt for "cheat" apps for hsi favorite games. The problem is those apps are garnered from dubious 3rd party sites that have nothing to do with the original game designers whatsoever. So, they generally come loaded with ad-ware or viruses:(

72 Temple Owl

hello, jax

6:26 pm

lynxxx

hi Owl...finally got round to making the cookies...very nice. TY.

6:27 pm

Lizlin

Hi all :)

6:27 pm

lynxxx

morning Liz

6:28 pm

Lizlin

Hi Lyn - how have you been? Haven't seen you for a while.

6:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi, lyn. i am glad you liked them.

6:29 pm

lynxxx

I have been very well. And you? haven't been effected by the weather over the last few months?

6:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

what was the texture, and wee they flat?

6:30 pm

Lizlin

I've also been fine - no, none of the cyclones actually got here. It was just a pretty wet, humid summer.

6:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

lynn, i am hanging in there. the weather has been awful,but nothing compared to the midwest tornadoes

6:31 pm

Lizlin

Hopefully summer will be better for you TO

6:31 pm

lynxxx

Slightly soft inside, not really flat, about a one cm in the middle. I may have made them a bit large - got about 24 from the batch - does that sound right?

6:33 pm

lynxxx

Our summer was Ok - only a few really hot days - but we continue to be dry. Still watering the garden.

6:33 pm

Lizlin

How are the dams? Enough water in them?

6:33 pm

Lizlin

Is winter your wet season?

6:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, that sounds spot on.

6:34 pm

lynxxx

I looked the other day - 76% from memory. All good. I think we were all trained pretty well over the days few years to be more frugal with water

6:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

did you reduce the chocolate chips? the recipe called for too much

6:35 pm

Lizlin

That's good. We also take care - I think that's inbuilt if you live in Aus! Our dam has always been pretty full though.

6:35 pm

Lizlin

The cookies sound lovely - will try them sometime.

6:36 pm

lynxxx

Chocolate - marginally reduced only - used dark and milk chips as that was what I had....I liked them because they were not too sweet

6:36 pm

Lizlin

BBS - got to hang washing out

6:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

hope you like them, liz

6:37 pm

lynxxx

They are quite messy to make - but worth the effort Liz. They turned out much better than I expected. And I would not have tried except I trusted TOwl

6:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

awww. i do not find them messy though

6:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

i thought they were comparatively easy,compared to what i make for christmas.

6:39 pm

lynxxx

I should have explained - I rolled the mixture into a tube shape then cut pieces off, then rolled into a ball. (no cookie scoop) hence oily chocolate hands!

6:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh, i see! yes, sticky dough.

6:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

could you have used a tablespoon measure?

6:42 pm

lynxxx

possibly but it worked out OK, olive oil would be good for my dry hands anyway.

6:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

i did not have high expectations for them. they surprised me.

6:46 pm

lynxxx

know what you mean

6:48 pm

Lizlin

I look forward to trying them. They sound really yummy

6:48 pm

Lizlin

I hate it when a rogue tissue gets into the washing machine :(

6:49 pm

lynxxx

especially in the black wash!

6:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

liz, i reduced the chips to a third of the amount. i would not use more than half of what it calls for

6:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh yuk.

6:49 pm

car.eeyore

Hello again friends

6:49 pm

Lizlin

Good advice about the choccy chips.

6:49 pm

lynxxx

hi Car

6:49 pm

Lizlin

Hi car

6:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi, car. time to go. skipping dancing tonight.

6:50 pm

car.eeyore

Have fun!

6:50 pm

lynxxx

Although I didn't reduce so much but used mostly dark chaocolate - so not overwhelmingly sweet

6:50 pm

Lizlin

Have a good evening :)

6:51 pm

lynxxx

bye Owl

6:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

i will turn in early. perhaps watch the hbo special on scientology. anyone see it?

6:52 pm

lynxxx

only heard about the reactions to it

6:52 pm

Lizlin

More good advice, Lyn - also prefer dark chocolate, so a mix like that sounds good.

6:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

i used 60% cacao ghirardelli

6:54 pm

Lizlin

clue for ma 5/6 pls - before what you might do to potato

6:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

it is very much a dark chocolate lover's cookie.

6:54 pm

Lizlin

Ghiradelli chocolate - yum! Remember that from my visit to SF years ago.

6:54 pm

Lizlin

Have printed recipe - good occasion to use it in 2 weeks :)

6:55 pm

car.eeyore

I don't have it but will look with you Liz.

6:55 pm

Lizlin

Thanks Car

6:55 pm

lynxxx

6:55 pm

Lizlin

Thanks Lyn

6:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

Lizlin

6:56 pm

Lizlin

A meal after the synagogue service - we'll all take some food

6:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:57 pm

Lizlin

Also sounds nice - but with passover just finished, I'm almond-ed out right now!

6:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

i love almond flavoring. but will try with vanilla and lemon next. lemon and vanilla is a match made in heaven

6:59 pm

car.eeyore

<----- drooling on keyboard

6:59 pm

Lizlin

I love both vanilla and lemon

6:59 pm

lynxxx

I made a fantastic cake - I'll just find the recipe for you

7:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

aw, poor car! and me with a broken heart and no appetite. shame on me.

7:00 pm

car.eeyore

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that :(

7:00 pm

Lizlin

Aw! What happened, Car?

7:00 pm

Lizlin

Ooops - misread that! TO - what happened.

7:00 pm

Any clues needed before I go?

7:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

my keyboard is so hard, i have to pound on it to type.

7:03 pm

Lizlin

I'll just wait for Lyn's recipe, though.

7:04 pm

Lizlin

Time for a new keyboard??

7:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

new laptop

7:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh is she getting it now? I wlll wait as well.

7:05 pm

Lizlin

Ah! So a totally different feel to the old one.

7:05 pm

lynxxx

Tried to find one with a short URL. Liz - search on River Cafe - hazelnut and coffee cake . It is very very rich and moreish!

7:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty.bye, all

7:06 pm

lynxxx

Would feed a cast of thousands as you only need a small piece

7:06 pm

Lizlin

Ah! River Cafe! Good recipes there. Time to go and make some bread. Have a good day / evening.

7:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:10 pm

harpjane

the s's are tedious. I have most of them now, dan

8:11 pm

good evening all - also working on Ss

8:12 pm

8:14 pm

dan2bit

ty harp!

8:14 pm

harpjane

the sh is a type of massage, also sound like a dog breed.

8:15 pm

harpjane

starts like a sect of Islam

8:15 pm

dan2bit

and that's firewords! tx harp and all cluers. I tried the dog breed earlier :-)

8:16 pm

Good Enough

wow good job dan! that was fast

8:16 pm

dan2bit

can clue for a bit, though pretty tired - did one of my 2 favorite DC things today

8:16 pm

harpjane

what was that dan? cherry trees?

8:16 pm

dan2bit

thanks GE- getting to 53 took a lot longer :-)

8:17 pm

dan2bit

yep the blossoms and the fireworks are my favorites

8:17 pm

harpjane

I'd like to go there in the spring some time.

8:18 pm

harpjane

It's better for the locals, though, because it's hard to plan the actual peak time, isnt' it?

8:19 pm

dan2bit

it is tricky, because they're only at peak for 3-4 days, that could fall anywhere in a 3-4 week window

8:20 pm

dan2bit

usually the first half of April, but not always

8:20 pm

harpjane

right, so someone from Montana would not want to make non-refundable plane reservations, if that was the only reason for the trip.

8:20 pm

harpjane

at6?

8:21 pm

dan2bit

a + author & satirist Mark

8:21 pm

harpjane

thanks that gave me a T word also!

8:23 pm

dan2bit

and perhaps a W4 ?

8:23 pm

dan2bit

yes you'd want to have some other things on the agenda for a Spring visit. Luckily, there are a few other things to do for visitors. Also, the magnolias and forsythias come out around the same window...

8:23 pm

wvteach

my son was born in DC the middle of March and my parents came to visit and we have beautiful pictures of the cherry blossons the 3rd week in March

8:24 pm

harpjane

I had a great time on the only visit I made to that area. The gov'mint was shut down but we still had too many choices!

8:24 pm

dan2bit

today was gorgeous for them - 2bit family photos at http://tinyurl.com/o2gt48r

8:26 pm

harpjane

te8?

8:26 pm

dan2bit

we have some of the same yoshino cherries in our neighborhood as well, so we can time our trip perfectly

8:27 pm

dan2bit

te8 starts with a number, ends like a skin condition

8:27 pm

dan2bit

related to the previous te5/6 combo

8:28 pm

harpjane

oh, of course..... thanks

8:32 pm

harpjane

beautiful photos, dan! which park is it>

8:38 pm

dan2bit

2 spots - one the Enid Haupt garden in front of the Smithsonian "castle" - the other the Tidal Basin north of the Jefferson Memorial

8:38 pm

dan2bit

the garden has the magnolias and the "weeping" pink cherry - the basin has the white yoshinos

8:40 pm

dan2bit

and you can get a sense of the great weather and huge crowds

8:43 pm

harpjane

It looks like fantasy land. Does it smell good?

8:43 pm

harpjane

We didn't get to go to the Smithsonian. The guvmint was closed.

8:45 pm

dan2bit

smells fantastic. yes it's a shame when they pull those kind of stunts. the city government is often impacted as well
