so would I. twisty feet :)
2:18 am
grannyrose

how are you feeling about the diet now? are you still comfortable with it?
2:20 am
sprite

sorry sweetie, my girl needed me for a spell. back now
2:21 am
grannyrose

np's sprite. is she okay?
2:21 am
sprite

yeah am ok with the diet so far. giving it a serious chance.
2:22 am
grannyrose

good for you, dear. i am so proud of you.
2:22 am
sprite

she is fine :D She is helping the kids that have their finals this year to organise some pranks in school. Their theme is superheroes. I made her a SuperMario hat yesterday.
2:23 am
grannyrose

oh, no.....lol.....i hope she gets pics.
2:24 am
sprite

usually, the school is closed in the evenings and nights. But the theater group perform their musical and so some kids could get into the school at night... set up a zillion cups with a bit of water in the classroom of their most hated teacher.
2:25 am
grannyrose

*chuckling for real* very inventive
2:25 am
sprite

and harmless fun.
2:26 am
grannyrose

absolutely.
2:26 am
sprite

lol, caya wears a blue pair of trousers and a red shirt, and has her Mario cap in her bag. She has programmed her mobile phone to ring with the Mario tune
2:27 am
grannyrose

clever girl... what a hoot!
2:27 am
sprite

another girl is gonna tie-rip the bicycles together, and once that is done, she will ring up Caya, who will put on her cap in class, stand up and walk away, opening all classrooms on her way out
2:28 am
sprite

wish I could see the faces of the teachers, lol
2:28 am
grannyrose

such fun...
2:29 am
sprite

I remember we took revenge on our math teacher, who was, to put it mildly, an evil witch of a bitch. No kidding. And she liked her classroom to be very warm, around 25 C.
2:30 am
grannyrose

uh oh.... what did you do ?
2:30 am
sprite

and we always asked to lower it, or open a window. Which she ignored. So we turned down the wand heater, which she turned back up high. So we used to hide the knob. About which she always made quite a scene
2:31 am
grannyrose

lollllll
2:31 am
sprite

and for our prank, we collected ALL the heater knobs of the whole school and put them on her desk. She had a litter of kittens, she was so mad.
2:32 am
grannyrose

oh, no..... i bet she turned purple.
2:32 am
sprite

yeah she was livid. Wish we had thought of those cups with water. That would have been perfect, as an added bonus, lol.
2:33 am
grannyrose

what a pity the snow season is over... you could have filled the ro4 with snow.
2:38 am
sprite

ohhhh that would have been cool too
2:38 am
sprite

ohhhh LOL.... Caya just told me that she heard yesterday there will be job interviews at school today!
2:39 am
sprite

imagine, going to a job interview and landing in the midst of a finals prank!
2:41 am
grannyrose

you would probably turn around and head for the hills, thinking that the whole school was actually a nut-house.
2:41 am
sprite

yeah, lol. I am picturing someone doing their best to convince the school to hire them... and then turning around and saying: good luck finding people who want to work here!
2:42 am
grannyrose

roflol....
2:42 am
sprite

actually, I think it should help the selection process. If people can handle this, they can handle everything.
2:43 am
sprite

it is lovely, btw... my girl has this bouncy energy now, having so much fun in advance :D
2:45 am
grannyrose

i bet it is lovely to see. i can imagine all the giggling .
2:45 am
sprite

she has one final exam this year, taking her English exam a year earlier. So the final class said she qualified for being part of the pranks!
2:46 am
sprite

she just showed me her outfit. It is brilliant. You wouldn't think of Mario without the cap at first. But once she puts that cap on, you cannot see anything other than the Mario outfit.
2:48 am
grannyrose

brilliant sprite. very clever both of you.
2:49 am
sprite

oh this is all Caya. All I did was make her the cap to her specifications
2:52 am
grannyrose

bless her. she is so clever.
2:53 am
sprite

*proud mum*
2:53 am
grannyrose

as you should be, sprite. and how's the boyo? has he settled yet ?
2:55 am
sprite

mwah, not really. Tried to talk it out with him, got only more attitude. So I decided he could suit himself, and told him in clear terms what I will and won't accept from him, since he is NOT my equal.
2:56 am
grannyrose

yay you sprite. little twerp... let me get my hands on him...
2:56 am
sprite

he hates it when I point that out to him, but as long as he is not willing to talk things out like an adult, he will have to accept being treated like a child.
2:57 am
grannyrose

of course, sprite. and has he made a decision about education versus going out to work?
2:58 am
sprite

yeah, he will go to the university next year. Let's hope it will work out.
2:59 am
grannyrose

*fingers crossed*
2:59 am
sprite

you and me both. Stupid git. Sigh.
3:04 am
grannyrose

and i am back. was looking up info on the waler horse.
3:05 am
sprite

waler horse? Wb, btw
3:07 am
grannyrose

yes, the waler horse. apparently a breed developed in the 19th century by cross-breeding several breeds. it is what thelight-horse brigade rode into battle.
3:08 am
grannyrose

an australian breed of horse.
3:08 am
sprite

they are beautiful
3:10 am
grannyrose

aren't they just? and a good ride too.
3:14 am

*giggles* Just like us.

3:16 am

it is a very easy grid today, isn't it?
3:16 am
grannyrose

yes it is. i flew through it.
3:17 am

same here. And I found all biggies before halfway and by myself too. Rarely happens.
3:18 am

3:21 am

WTG SPRITE!!!
3:21 am

thank you, darling
3:22 am
grannyrose

so do you have to shop first?
3:23 am
sprite

yeah :(
3:23 am
grannyrose

ugh....
3:27 am
sprite

and I have to go to the pet store too, to get new food for terra. Ah well, can't be helped.
3:27 am
grannyrose

are both stores/shops close together?
3:29 am
sprite

no, not at all. Other side of town.
3:29 am
grannyrose

oh, that's not good.
3:32 am
sprite

my dear friend, I am off to make my list and get the groceries. Sorry about not emailing the last few days... don't have the energy to spare, tbh. Will catch up with you soon. *hugs* and enjoy another painfree, hotflashesfree night :)

I love you ladies in the morning, so do not get me wrong, but I find that whenever you all go on about how easy a particular grid is, I get my ankles chewed up by it:))
5:15 am
grannyrose

*chuckling for real* okay....keeping my fingers zipped.
5:15 am
crosshair

You are my inspiration for each and every grid:)
5:19 am
crosshair

This particular grid remind he of one of those yappy, tiny, over-bred Yorkies, or even worse one of those Chihuahuas they used to pump out of puppy mills that bare their teeth at you all the time while going bug-eyed :)
5:19 am

But then again I have not had my tea yet:)
5:20 am

Though i am improving;people do not reach for the pepper spray near as much as they used to. good thing too; I was tired of everything tasting like tex-mex:)

It is cold, -2.

I ditched my spring jacket for my fleece.
5:30 am

gosh, i thought you were heading into spring.
5:31 am
sukee

So did I :) It will be in the double digits next week so they say.
5:31 am
grannyrose

i had my second infusion therapy 3 days ago.i have no pain, no cramps, and no spasms.
5:31 am
sukee

That is good to hear.
5:32 am

double digits are good.

yeah ... in 2017
5:47 am

yes, in august, just before the trees shed their leaves in preparation for winter:/
5:50 am
crosshair

But when it gets me down, I just think of my bother in Vegas who is even now battening down the hatches for 3 months of 100+ F
5:51 am
crosshair

His electric bill in summer is commonly $1200/ month plus because of the two central air units bolted to the side of his place
5:52 am
sukee

That would be tough.
5:53 am
crosshair

says he tries to keep it 85F in the house for June, July, August
5:53 am
sukee

If I lived there I think I would spend a lot of time in the casinos :)
5:54 am
crosshair

I think that was the point of it all. I mean what a god-forsaken place to build something lol
5:55 am
crosshair

You look at the old pics when the first few buildings went in and it is nothing but a sand blasted, sun scorched bit of desolation.
5:58 am
crosshair

But my brother loves the night-life and the poker table. Seems to suit him. I, on the other hand need greenery, forests, a nice body of water or a mountain stream. i would wither and dies in Vegas.
5:58 am
sukee

Okay, I have to go get ready to go out.
5:58 am

I think Las Vegas is a place to visit for a weekend :)

for heavens sake, crossy. just a touch of raspberry jam?? slather it on, man !!
6:43 am

I have a beard, rosie. I have to make all things like jam, honey and peanut butter "just a touch" or I end up saving it all in my beard for afternoon snacks;))
6:45 am

and the problem is?? don has a beard also. i love going through his beard for the afters.

6:53 am

Made everyone laugh one time by whipping out a bendy straw and working on my soup that way
6:55 am
grannyrose

i promise to make you my split pea and ham soup. served with frankfurters and croutons. so thick, the spoon stands up in the middle of the bowl.
6:56 am
grannyrose

you just about need a fork to eat it.
6:57 am
crosshair

ohh.. that sounds so good...
7:00 am
grannyrose

i used to serve it on stormy saturday nights. it was full of pureed carrots, celery and onions. the kids never knew they were eating so much vegetables.
7:01 am
crosshair

Sounds like a soup capable of feeding an army
7:02 am
grannyrose

of course, the other version doesn't have frankfurters i n it. it has a whole meat pie floating in the bowl and is called a south australian floater.
7:02 am
crosshair

If you get time, rosie, would you email me the recipe for that?
7:02 am

I remember late april being a glorious time
7:16 am

I have memories of that too bichon, would like to live it in real time
7:19 am
Trifioso

hello dear friends - feeling your pain, riverdance.
7:20 am
Riverdance

Hi Trif...yes you are not that far from me and you actually got hit worse with the snow over the winter.
7:20 am
Trifioso

I actually remember last spring being much worse - I remember being wrapped up in quilts to watch my daughter in a track meet - in MAY
7:20 am
Riverdance

I work for an insurance company and the claims coming in for collapses and ice dams in Mass are incredible
7:21 am
Trifioso

I'll bet. I actually started totting up all the things that were damaged beyond repair at my house, and its a surprising amount!
7:23 am
Trifioso

but other things survived - my perennials, for one, although I feared many would be lost, being under the snow cover for three straight months with no light or air
7:23 am
Trifioso

the snow acted like insulation - they are fine
7:23 am
Riverdance

I had quite of bit of winter kill with my plants. Worked in my gardens last weekend when spring WAS her for 2 days.
7:24 am
Trifioso

me too. I have so many things to dig up - mr. hate never met an invasive he didn't love, and Im still trying to put it all back to rights
7:25 am
Riverdance

I think the sand and salt is what got to mine. I had to have my driveway sanded many times and then the plows would push the next storms snow with sand up on the gardens that border the driveway.
7:25 am
bichon

I think everything in the garden survived
7:25 am
Trifioso

oh yuck. I guess you should plant onions next to your driveway?
7:25 am
Riverdance

lol...
7:26 am
Trifioso

that's great bichon!
7:26 am
bichon

But it's so wet out there, I can't imagine doing anything. I have been pulling up maple tree seedlings
7:27 am
Riverdance

my crabapple tree and barberry bush did just fine. Lilies are coming up. Forsythia is starting to bloom. I cant complain really. I did notice alot of beebalm died and my black eyed susans but over all I guess it is OK
7:27 am
Trifioso

wet is good - much easier to pull stuff out of wet ground
7:27 am
Trifioso

the stuff I wish would die did just fine - isn't that always the way?
7:27 am
Riverdance

me too bichon and so many acorns that were taking hold. I ripped out vines that took over that I couldnt do last year with all my pain.
7:28 am
Trifioso

I worked one hard day last Saturday, and blew my sciatica out. it's SO frustrating, as I have a lot to do, and, as you all know, gardens wait for no one.
7:29 am
Riverdance

I have really not done anything with my garden since my ex left 3 years ago. I just couldnt with my hip and back. But I am alive again and enjoyed working out there last weekend. I do know I have muscles that havent been used in a long time as they said hello this week.

wow!!!! my goodness! where did she end up going?
7:41 am

River, How wonderful! Congrats to her.
7:42 am
Riverdance

First year was at Chester College. But they closed for lack of money. She transferred to the New Hampshire Institute of Art and has been there since. She moved back home a couple weeks ago so my house is a disaster zone with her stuff everywhere.
7:43 am
Riverdance

She didnt want to pay rent for April. So has been commuting her last three weeks.
7:43 am
Trifioso

oh, I know that scenario all too well....but congratulations! what a wonderful right of passage for you all
7:43 am

And my Keith starts college in the fall. Big year for both my kids.
7:44 am
Trifioso

well done you only having to pay tuition one at a time!
7:44 am
Riverdance

I have set up the kids playroom in the basement for her office. They didn't use it anymore. So she has her space for her business.
7:45 am
Trifioso

she started a business already? that girl is on top of things!!!
7:45 am
Riverdance

True, but they will still have debt coming out. I cant afford it all. Keith will have less debt as he plans to commute his first two years and live at home.
7:46 am
Riverdance

She started her business a couple years ago but hasn't actually done the legal stuff. She is a photographer and has been doing weddings and such. Once she graduates she will have to register her business name and all that goes with it. Getting paid under the table days will be over.
7:47 am
Riverdance

She has actually been working as a second shooter for another photographer for 4 years. This other woman is extremely busy and has been referring Sarah on weddings she herself cant take. She is mentoring her.
7:48 am
Trifioso

that is so great
7:48 am

what a blessing
7:48 am

I hope it all works out for her because she will drive me crazy if she has to live we me for life.....lol!

Too many Cs and Ws today.
8:50 am

Hm, I have just 1 W.
8:51 am
Judi

I'm missing 5 Ws.
9:06 am

I am missing 9 W's now.

Hi Judy :)
9:07 am
Scrabbler

Buona mattina, Hego!
9:08 am
hego

Scrabs, aren't your window guys there?
9:08 am
Judi

Don't forget Wh and Wr, Scrabbs.
9:09 am
Scrabbler

Yes, they are here--6 feet away working on window #2 of 5. It is freezing in here because it is 33 outide.
9:09 am
Scrabbler

*outside
9:09 am
hego

yes, cold morning here too.
9:09 am
Scrabbler

Fresh snow too.
9:10 am
hego

really?!
9:11 am
Judi

lol. Sounds brisk, Scrabbler. Figures, right? I remember the day we had our new windows installed. It was mid-February. Literally the coldest day of the year. It was about 18 degrees. I was more worried about the cats escaping. Fortunately, the cats were smart enough to huddle next to my husband for warmth.
9:12 am
hego

smart cats
9:19 am
Anniebrook

hego, love your icon
9:19 am
hego

lol, ty Annie.
9:26 am
Scrabbler

I was just talking with the one guy. He is a kayaker and saw my kayaks in the garage.
9:27 am
hego

is he married?
9:28 am
Scrabbler

Yes, Hego, great icon. I wanted to smack my office computer yesterday. We are installing flash drives that allow e-prescribing of controlled substances. It wouldn't work after multiple attempts. I was ready to cry.
9:28 am
hego

Soooo frustrating!
9:28 am
Scrabbler

Hm, he is wearing work gloves so I cannot look for a ring. We talked about all of the rivers we have each addled on. He does the white water crazy stuff.
9:29 am
Judi

Just what we all need. A computer program that makes it even harder to get drugs. Oy.
9:29 am
hego

And if you smack it, you only hurt your hand.
9:30 am
Scrabbler

I don't even prescribe controlled substances such as narcotics or amphetamines, but I do refills for my partners that prescribe amphetamines. (I stopped putting kids on amphetamines 10 years ago and do not regret that decision.)
9:30 am
hego

Good for you Scrabbler
9:30 am
Scrabbler

Well, Judi, the system (using a programmed flash drive with our password) prevents forgeries.
9:30 am
hego

we hope
9:31 am
Scrabbler

I get criticized for "not helping kids" but I never felt that using amphetamines helped a kid to change their behaviors.
9:32 am
Scrabbler

And I do not want to participate in the game of using amphetamines for every kid with school and behavior problems. "ADHD" is now the default term for any struggling kid.
9:33 am
Scrabbler

I am old-fashioned--teach parents and kids the skills to adapt and thrive in school and life.
9:33 am
hego

true. An easy answer.
9:34 am
Scrabbler

Aaaah, window #2 just went in.
9:34 am
hego

Have a problem? Take a pill. Make it better.
9:34 am
Judi

Good for you Scrabbs. Okay, now lets try to figure out a way to make the kayaker dude take his left glove off!
9:34 am
hego

Nobody wants to do the hard work.
9:35 am
hego

YAY! for window #2
9:35 am
Scrabbler

Maybe I will ask him for his name and number. Maybe.
9:36 am
hego

when there's an ere in the grid I keep typing in Italian verbs.
9:36 am
hego


Go Scrabs!!
9:36 am
Judi

Find out where he goes kayaking... and then stalk him! Oh wait, bad idea.
9:37 am
hego

Big help, Judi :)
9:37 am
Judi

Purchase loch ness suit and swim up on him. Surprise!
9:38 am

9:44 am

There's a good pair of tires on that bike.

11:30 am

No warden duty
11:30 am

ah challenging but so satisfying when you make a break through
11:31 am
doseffing

... Just leave them to the EAs ... read a story with them ... and let them play video games
11:31 am
crosshair

Was easy. the teacher who was off today has all her curriculum set up already. Just a matter of following her schedule
11:31 am
crosshair

Today was movie day with a small assignment
11:32 am
doseffing

... the small assignment is unusual ... it's usually just movie day
11:35 am
crosshair

They are doing well. Penmanship is the real issue. Would be nice to get them doing this in Word, but they shy away from computers for anything other than playing games.
11:37 am
crosshair

The assignment was easy. Just a bunch of premade sentences and they had to decide if "many" or "much" was the correct word to make the sentence work.
11:37 am
crosshair

Small victories;)
11:38 am
doseffing

... I must admit to having no idea of how to work with a class of these kids. I'm sure that the teachers claim small victories but how many times must you claim the same small victory?
11:40 am

11:40 am

Filling in is easy, doing this full time takes a true professional with the creds behind him/her
11:40 am
doseffing

... They can be wonderful people but how do they function in society once they "graduate" ... The kid was 21 ... he can add single digit numbers but counting on his fingers ... I watched him do 30 of them ... But I'm sure he had no idea of what he was doing or why ...
11:42 am
crosshair

There is one here that cannot tell time but is an ace at video games. there is another here that can add sums like a calculator but can hardly read at the 5th grade level. it is interesting.
11:42 am
crosshair

I have a 3rd that is making Microsoft Excel just dance but will not communicate.
11:44 am
doseffing

... That one sounds like autism ... they can be really smart ... but the others are probably working at the highest level that they'll ever attain ... it is interesting work but if it wasn't for the EAs I'd find it utterly discouraging
11:44 am
crosshair

May get her to give me some excel pointers;)
11:45 am
doseffing

... if she'll talk that's an excellent idea ... it often helps to ask things which you already know ... ...
