12:07 am

VolleymomDee

We had an amazing 2 week vacation in the Outer Banks (Corolla, NC). I soooo did not want to come home!!

12:07 am

harpjane

nbt

12:08 am

rururocks

oh great

12:08 am

Aloyisius

wonderful

12:08 am

rururocks

that's great

12:08 am

harpjane

found a bug, no mammals yet

12:08 am

VolleymomDee

I did hurt my knee on vacation :(... big bummer... hoping it is just a sprain, but we will see.

12:09 am

VolleymomDee

May have torn something. Weather was beyond amazing.

12:09 am

Aloyisius

ouch, hope it heals quickly

12:09 am

cybernan

hello everyone

12:10 am

Aloyisius

hi nan

12:10 am

VolleymomDee

Me, too, aloy... couldn't walk first 24 hours.

12:11 am

VolleymomDee

ty for the re 7

12:11 am

cybernan

finished planting all the pots on the lower deck this afternoo...not 3 hours had gone by before the 3 pesky deer that hung around all last summer showed up again. I swear they just wait for me to get the garden in shape.

12:12 am

VolleymomDee

how frustrating!

12:13 am

Aloyisius

try
Liquid Fence.. stinky, but it works

12:13 am

MimiCat

Nan, try planting a "garden" in another location in your yard specifically for the deer. Maybe that will satisfy and distract them.

12:14 am

cybernan

our yard isn't that big, mimi

12:14 am

cybernan

and it's all landscaped

12:14 am

MimiCat

Too bad. Maybe just put out some already cut produce?

12:15 am

cybernan

they have open fields with lots of shrubs all around us, but they have developed a taste for begonias, impatiens and roses

12:15 am

rururocks

wouldn't that just bring more deer mimi?

12:16 am

flosey

Hi everyone, enjoyed our tea out on the deck tonight - starting to chill a bit now, time to come in

12:16 am

cybernan

should have asked for a pellet gun for my birthday!

12:16 am

MimiCat

When I lived in the country I fed everything...it was amazing. I actually had a racoon that practically knocked on the arcadia door if I wasn't on time with the pecans!

12:16 am

VolleymomDee

hi flosey!

12:16 am

MimiCat

May be right, there, ruru. But worth a try?

12:17 am

flosey

Hi Dee, haven't seen much of you lately, have you been away?

12:17 am

Aloyisius

hi flosey and ruru and Mimi.. want to stay up but getting t

12:17 am

rururocks

deer to doe:: oh I just had the most fabulous brunch at Nan's house

12:17 am

MimiCat

When I had a deer issue there was a lot more land to manipulate so I could put food out for them a long way from the house and deck.

12:17 am

Aloyisius

oops.. too sleepy, obviously, lol.. g'nite, all

12:18 am

flosey

Hi rose. Are you better?

grannyrose

hi flosey

1:10 am

grannyrose

hi ruru. temps have gone down. sweats are much better. they still don't know what happened.

1:10 am

rururocks

Wow

1:11 am

rururocks

Are you back home?

1:11 am

grannyrose

yes, mate home again

1:11 am

grannyrose

docs think i have had a drug reaction.

1:12 am

rururocks

To what?

1:12 am

grannyrose

the tegretol for the nerve pain.

1:13 am

rururocks

Ok. Well i am glad you are home.

1:13 am

grannyrose

thanx ruru. i am so looking forward to sleeping in my own bed.

1:39 am

flosey

back again, can't beat sleeping in your own bed, Rose

1:42 am

grannyrose

too true, flosey.

1:46 am

flosey

darn, have been searching high and low, bought a card and signed it, etc, can't for the life of me find it now!

1:46 am

Lizlin

Hi all and hugs (lots of 'em) Rose. So happy to see you back babbling :)

1:46 am

grannyrose

in your purse ready to post?

1:46 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} liz girl

1:47 am

flosey

no, not to be posted, just handed to!

1:47 am

Lizlin

So bet you're really happy to be back home.

1:47 am

Lizlin

That's so frustrating, Flosey!

1:48 am

flosey

of course I'll find it after the fact !! isn't it the way

1:48 am

grannyrose

poor flosey. it must be somewhere obvious. like on a mantlepiece, table near front door

1:48 am

Lizlin

It's probably with the trainer sock I've lost!

1:48 am

grannyrose

yes liz, happy to be home again.

1:49 am

flosey

ah Rose, with me, it's liable to be anywhere! this memory thing is very frustrating

1:50 am

grannyrose

in the toaster, behind the milk in the fridge?

1:50 am

Lizlin

In the oven?

1:50 am

flosey

now those sound quite likely

1:51 am

grannyrose

can you see yourself writing the card?

1:52 am

flosey

yes, bought it, signed it, but then I was out all day, hmmm, could be still in the car, don't think I've driven since - tks, wll check there tomorrow

1:53 am

grannyrose

that's a good possibility, flosey

1:56 am

Lizlin

Need to get my post-gym snack. Hope you find the card, Flosey. BBS. Hugs

1:59 am

flosey

thanks Liz, if I don't find it in time, can use it next year!!

2:14 am

flosey

32 to go and falling asleep, bb tomorrow morning - briefly, have to be on the noon ferry to Victoria

3:49 am

sprite

*pounces* Roseeeeee!

3:50 am

Lizlin

Softly, sprite. She's still delicate!

3:50 am

sprite

lol. Hi Liz *hugs*

3:50 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs to you too

3:51 am

Lizlin

Good to hear from rose today :)

3:51 am

sprite

indeed. Still too little clarity on the cause though.

3:52 am

Lizlin

That's what I said to her too.

3:53 am

sprite

where did our rose go? chasing squirrels again?

3:53 am

Lizlin

Having a sleep I'd suspect.

3:54 am

sprite

without signing off here? Could be, of course.

3:54 am

Lizlin

I'd imagine she's exhausted. Also wanting some home time with Don.

3:54 am

grannyrose

nooooo, i am here. {{hugs}} darling sprite.

3:54 am

sprite

I bet Don is over the moon now that she is home again.

3:54 am

Lizlin

Might just've fallen asleep.

3:55 am

Lizlin

He must've been soooooooo worried.

3:55 am

sprite

rose, my dear friend. *hugsssssss* So good to see you again. How are you feeling?

3:55 am

sprite

I know I was. still am, to be honest.

3:55 am

Lizlin

Me too.

3:55 am

grannyrose

a touch delicate. but wide awake, and enjoying being home. * sigh *

3:56 am

Lizlin

Home food :)

3:56 am

grannyrose

don keeps coming over and kissing me to make sure i am really here.

3:56 am

sprite

am glad, rose. Hospitals are bad places, especially when you feel ill, lol.

3:56 am

Lizlin

That's so lovely and what I'd expect.

3:56 am

grannyrose

sprite, i was pretty much out of it for the first 3-4n days.

3:57 am

sprite

aw good man, Don

3:57 am

sprite

I believe it, rose. You were really sick. And such high fevers too.

3:59 am

sprite

Don did a wonderful job with keeping us up to date too, Rose.

3:59 am

Lizlin

Almost dinner. So hugs to you both

4:00 am

sprite

enjoy your dinner, Liz. Hugs to you both.

4:00 am

grannyrose

bless him. so he did. he came in twice/day. in the morning he helped me to have a wash, and the last few days helped with having a shower.

4:00 am

grannyrose

{{hgs}} liz girl and to peter too.

4:00 am

sprite

he really stepped up to the mark, didn't he! Am so glad, rose. It is so important.

4:01 am

grannyrose

still sweating at times. the nrses said it because i was still so weak and moving around will do that to me.

4:02 am

sprite

ok, sounds reasonable. Is the fever down? Otherwise that would cause sweating too.

4:02 am

grannyrose

no high temps for three days.

4:03 am

sprite

good girl! God lovey, it is so great to see you here again. Was really worried about you. *hugs*

4:04 am

grannyrose

* grin *i am so sorry for worrying you so much.

4:04 am

sprite

don't be sorry, silly, it is not your fault. Only apologise for things you could have done differently :)

4:05 am

grannyrose

how didn the kayaking trip go?

4:05 am

sprite

canoeing trip. It was awesome. Rob and I had a great time together, away from the kiddoes. And the rest of the company was nice too, and they were so glad that I was there, it made me blush. Good feeling.

4:06 am

grannyrose

i did briefly flirt with the idea of not letting you know....i did say briefly.

4:06 am

sprite

that better be very very briefly.

4:07 am

grannyrose

how lovely sprite. how nice that you were welcomed so nicely.

4:08 am

sprite

yeah it was nice. I always think people hardly notice if I am there or not. Quite a discovery to realise I have been missed all those years.

4:08 am

sprite

you must always let us know, darling. We may worry, but better to worry informed than uninformed. Plus, you need our prayers and good thoughts.

4:08 am

grannyrose

how are you doing with the diet?

4:09 am

sprite

still going strong. Another kg lost in that vacation, and another half just now. It is going slow, but at least it is going.

4:10 am

grannyrose

whoot!!! well done you, dear.

4:11 am

sprite

yeah I am proud of me. And of Rob too. He is willing to cook carb-free as long as I help him find recipes. We ate lovely dinners the whole week, he enjoyed them too, and with most he didn't even add carbs for himself.

4:11 am

grannyrose

yay for Rob!! what a man!!

4:12 am

sprite

rob is a good 'un. As is your beloved. We picked great husbands, darling.

4:12 am

grannyrose

yeah!! i'll drink to that.... lolll

4:12 am

sprite

phantom: requiem. Darn little pesky bugger.

4:13 am

sprite

easy on the alcohol with that liver, lady, lol.

4:13 am

grannyrose

yes mum.

4:14 am

sprite

oh, oh, oh... tomorrow my hair goes off, rose. Am gonna donate it to charity. Since it will most likely fall out during the first year after surgery, I thought I'd better donate while there is still something to donate.

4:14 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Good girl! ;)

4:14 am

grannyrose

roflollll.... will need pics please.

4:15 am

sprite

yeah, will ask caya to take some pictures of me now, with my hair down.

4:19 am

sprite

how is the pain, rose? Since your medication has changed?

4:19 am

grannyrose

not too bad. i still have brufen and endone if i need it.

4:20 am

grannyrose

dinner ready, sweetie. bbl if you are still here. xoxoxox

4:20 am

sprite

ok, that should be doable. Is there any rumour of the infusions having anything to do with this?

4:20 am

sprite

ok darling, enjoy your dinner

4:32 am

sprite

fireflies

4:46 am

grannyrose

and back. WTG SPRITE!!!!

4:48 am

sprite

wb darling. How was dinner?

4:51 am

grannyrose

yum, but tummy still can't handle volume. home-made hamburger

4:52 am

sprite

sounds delish. And even a little bite should be better than hospital food, grin

4:52 am

grannyrose

absolutely.

4:53 am

grannyrose

honey, i think i need to go and lie down. xox

4:54 am

sprite

good plan, darling. *hugs* and have a good rest. Am so glad you are back home :) Tell Don thanks, and *hugs*.

4:54 am

grannyrose

will do sweetie. hope you have a good day. xoxox

crosshair

Good morning, everyone:)... brrr... Had frost last night and there was a wind chill of minus 1:( Planting is only 4 days away so i hope mother nature gets this out of her system:)

6:10 am

sukee

2 here right now :)

6:10 am

sukee

But they say 22 for May 24.

6:11 am

crosshair

Good stuff. Any longer and we may as well slide from spring right into autumn

6:12 am

sukee

Still waiting for the thunderstorms they have been predicting for over a week.

6:12 am

Scrabbler

We will have a frost Friday night. Brrr. Good thing that I won't plant tomatoes til the weekend.

6:12 am

crosshair

Not with the air temps this cool. We need the air warm and muggy to bounce of the ice-cold water--then we will get some good boomers

6:13 am

sukee

It has come close a few times then just fizzled out.

6:20 am

crosshair

Q's quashed:)

6:20 am

sukee

wtg, I still need 3

6:20 am

Scrabbler

I just finished them too.

6:21 am

crosshair

what makes it a bit tough is one of the base q words runs in both directions in the grid. Was o.k after that

6:21 am

sukee

almost missed that British lineup :)

6:22 am

sukee

So, now I need 1

6:22 am

Scrabbler

qu8 = the state of no noise

6:23 am

sukee

Got it, ty :)

6:23 am

sukee

I swear, 2 days ago I was sweating in my flannel pj bottoms, now I have goosebumps :)

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Same here.

6:24 am

feenixcat

Hello everyone :)

6:24 am

sukee

Morning.

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Hi cat

6:24 am

Scrabbler

55 left and I must get ready for work. Enjoy the day.

6:25 am

sukee

Take care.

6:25 am

feenixcat

Have a good day

6:26 am

sukee

What! The news just said there was actually snow flurries in this area.

6:27 am

feenixcat

I haven't seen snow in years :( and the last time it was only a light dusting.

6:27 am

crosshair

We had flurries in meaford just up the road, but we were spared

6:27 am

sukee

Oh well, the last gasp.

6:27 am

crosshair

Hope so. it has "gasped" on quite long enough.

6:28 am

crosshair

You Know what this mean of course? i means it will most likely be 45C for all of July and August and we will roast

6:29 am

crosshair

Then we will get down on our hands and knees and kiss the ground when it cools off again;)

6:29 am

sukee

Yes I guess :) Just got a flyer from the building management asking if I have an air conditioner. They charge about $100 for the season. Unfortunately, I don't have one.

6:30 am

sukee

The hot hot weather makes my muscles feel so good that I put up with the heat. It relaxes me so much and there is no pain.

6:30 am

crosshair

They want $125.00 in our building for this year. I do not think I am going to bother

6:30 am

sukee

Of course, if it is too humid and wet it hurts.

6:31 am

crosshair

Paid it last year when it was 100 dollars, and I think i turned the a/c on a grand total of three times;(

6:31 am

crosshair

You need to relocate to one of those "dry heat" areas down south, sukee:)

6:32 am

sukee

And we can only have air conditioners in a specific place in the living room, where there is a cut out. Which avoids them falling and dripping, easier to catch the water.

6:32 am

crosshair

My brother is turning into a raisin in vegas. Sun down there makes you skin look like a fine tooled leather saddle;)

6:32 am

sukee

I just wish we had dry heat in Canada. I don't think I could live in Arizona :)

6:33 am

sukee

I did see a story on Sun City, Arizona. A community where you have to be 55 or over, but everyone they talked to seemed to be exactly the same, I would never fit in :)

6:35 am

sukee

Okay, 46 left. Should go make breakfast.

6:40 am

crosshair

My brother says that in the height of summer, when it is 100F-115F the humidity often sits at something silly like 45-- heck, you can make beef jerky just by laying a roast outside on the picnic table:)

6:40 am

crosshair

4%*

7:01 am

crosshair

Sukee, we do not have "cut outs" for the a/c's we either put window- mounted units in, and take the responsibility for any water drainage damage, or do what i did and by a free-standing a/c unit that can be moved at will from room to room. it has a dryer hose attachment that fits to a template that in turn mounts into the window you wish to use. That way I do not have to worry about any water damage or mounting damage

7:02 am

crosshair

and buy*

7:03 am

crosshair

Thing is about the size of a bar fridge

7:22 am

bichon

crossy, did you brother ever have a swamp cooler. They are perfect for low humidty climates

7:34 am

bichon

Is anyone else finding this an easy grid? Almost half way.

7:35 am

Anniebrook

yes, It's a friendly grid

7:35 am

bichon

Hi Annie

7:35 am

Anniebrook

hi bichon, I am finally in the positive numbers in QP

7:36 am

bichon

Yeah. One step at a time. I've had a bad couple of days.

7:37 am

Anniebrook

I see your name in the top 10

7:37 am

bichon

Not for the last couple of days

7:38 am

Anniebrook

I didnt play for a few days, I was in CT.

7:38 am

bichon

We should have gotten together. Your daughter's in western CT

7:39 am

Anniebrook

SW, I believe. That would have been nice. The name of the town Is Wilton.

7:40 am

bichon

Yes, know where it is. On the shoreline

7:40 am

bichon

Darned Enable. Won't take meme

7:41 am

Anniebrook

I tried that too. Enable is living in the past.

7:41 am

bichon

It's taken me a while to finally understand what a meme is

7:42 am

Anniebrook

lol. me too

7:42 am

bichon

I guess we don't get out too often

7:43 am

Anniebrook

As far as I am concerned, that is true.

7:43 am

Anniebrook

Im going to start breakfast. Be back soon.

8:07 am

MollyL

What I find interesting about meme is that it is pronounced MEEM but spelled like mémé, French for grandmother. Which I believe is pronounced may-may.

8:07 am

josephjames

but it isn't etymologically connected to french for grandmother

8:14 am

grant

enable doesn't accept meme, does it?

8:16 am

josephjames

Guess not

8:18 am

lbdawger

it would memes.

8:33 am

josephjames

Anybody have either of the 8 letter words?

8:38 am

lbdawger

ma8 product of the Y chromosome + abbrev for state where Detroit is + abbrev state where Salt Lake City is.

8:39 am

josephjames

Wow thanks I never heard of that before

8:39 am

josephjames

Is it another spelling for that dog breed ?

8:39 am

lbdawger

qu8 essence of silence?

8:40 am

josephjames

the definition clicker doesn't come up with anything

8:40 am

lbdawger

dictionary dot com doesn't have a definition for it.

8:40 am

josephjames

Thanks lbdawger

8:40 am

lbdawger

yw. glad to be of assistance.

8:40 am

rastapopolous

maybe just a weird spelling variation of malamute?

8:41 am

josephjames

that's what I was trying to ask, yeah

8:43 am

lbdawger

who knows with enable. it could be some obscure word meaning spring. lol

8:44 am

josephjames

here's a free one: ci6 du soleil

8:45 am

lbdawger

and I'm done. any other clues needed before I go?

8:48 am

lbdawger

okie dokie, i'm off to do other things. hagd!

8:50 am

hego

Hi All!

8:50 am

rastapopolous

a search on google would indicate it *is* the dog

8:52 am

aslindy

according to wikipedia, that ma8 word is a native alaskan tribe

9:02 am

Marc Freeman

Could I get a clue for qu8, please?

9:02 am

hego

state of silence, Marc
