rubyfoo

good morning

3:28 am

sprite

good morning all

3:28 am

rubyfoo

3:28 am

rubyfoo

Jon has been here and I've hardly been on the computer at all

3:28 am

rubyfoo

jut many games of regular scrabble with hi

3:29 am

rubyfoo

John*

3:29 am

sprite

hey ruby :) Good to see you. And so glad you have John with you atm. What does he say about Burt?

3:30 am

rubyfoo

He left this morning and says that Burt has full-blown Alzheimer's. But then, of course, John is an expert on everything, and I am chopped liver

3:31 am

sprite

lol. Well, you raised him, grin. He must have got it from somewhere...

3:31 am

rubyfoo

"his father"

3:31 am

rubyfoo

lol

3:31 am

sprite

lol!

3:32 am

sprite

did he have some illuminating advice on how to proceed with Burt?

3:33 am

rubyfoo

He printed about 100 pages from Alz.us ehich is sort of helpful, but many of the things I as already doing

3:33 am

grannyrose

cooee and g'day from me. just finished dinner. {{hugs}} and good morning sprite. {{hugs}} my dearest ruby.

3:33 am

rubyfoo

And the services available there differ completely from what is available here

3:33 am

sprite

yeah. And please keep in mind that it is way too taxing on you, ruby.

3:34 am

sprite

*hugs rose warmly* Hello my dear friend. Just read about your day, you did so well! How are you feeling now?

3:34 am

rubyfoo

John continues to be extremely critical of me (Molly was right, as always) and he'll never change

3:35 am

rubyfoo

He said "Nobody dies from pain" which I found very sympathetic NO|Y!

3:35 am

sprite

oh and does anyone know why our ruru dragged up the picture of 'nancyboy' for his profile again?

3:35 am

rubyfoo

{{rosie}} I've missed you

3:35 am

grannyrose

still upright. feeling good. but i did have a nana nap this afternoon.

3:36 am

grannyrose

nope. ruru does what he does.

3:36 am

sprite

ugh what a jerk, ruby. He should be in your shoes for 5 minutes.

3:37 am

sprite

a nana nap is very very healthy. Smart move, rose. And yay on feeling good after an active day.

3:37 am

rubyfoo

While he was here, I developed an excruciating pain for about an hour and he was basically uninvolved.

3:37 am

rubyfoo

said it was probably gas

3:37 am

sprite

right. Of course. Gas hurts like hell NOT!. As if you don't know the difference.

3:39 am

rubyfoo

I could only sit in a chair and cry until the morhine kicked in and you know I'm used to pain

3:39 am

rubyfoo

The good news is that I'm having my scan (finally) this afternoon

3:40 am

grannyrose

my poor ruby!! gentle hugs for you. our children can be so callous.

3:40 am

sprite

any pain that needs morphine before it becomes bearable is a serious thing. Not at all resembling gas.

3:40 am

sprite

ah good, ruby. Please make sure you tell us the results.

3:41 am

grannyrose

my mum always said... sharper than a serpents tooth is the heart of an ungrateful child.

3:41 am

rubyfoo

amen

3:41 am

sprite

lol rose... as if she was ever confronted with that. But yeah, the saying is correct.

3:43 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, just heard a bad noise from the kitchen [[ and this is the first break I've had

3:43 am

sprite

si4pe4 - veggies that come with a nice steak

3:43 am

grannyrose

oh no ruby.

3:45 am

rubyfoo

phew, it was nothing

3:46 am

sprite

ks killed

3:46 am

grannyrose

good news then ruby. yeah, sprite put it in. * grin *

3:46 am

sprite

ok :D

3:51 am

rubyfoo

sprite, have you had a cold and very windy May? It has been horrible (we actually have a fire today), but th flowers and figs don't seem to mind

3:54 am

sprite

yeah, not a good May month here either. Lots of rain, lots of wind, and cold. Some good days, though.

3:54 am

sprite

ohhh my favorite word of all time is in today!

3:55 am

rubyfoo

pe5??

3:55 am

rubyfoo

lol

3:56 am

sprite

roflol no, that is my favorite toy. But my alltime favorite word is yw4. It is an obsolete word that is related to a similar obsolete word in dutch. Fascinates me.

3:56 am

rubyfoo

now I'll monkey it, but my Welsh is nonexistent

3:56 am

rubyfoo

got it

3:57 am

sprite

oh it isn't welsh. It is old english.

3:57 am

rubyfoo

aaah

3:58 am

sprite

and if you exchange GE for YW, you got an old dutch word with exactly the same meaning.

3:58 am

sprite

sorry, exchange GE for Y I mean

4:04 am

sprite

ah man, those Ts are mean

4:06 am

mattygroves

i haven't found any of those bad boys yet

4:06 am

mattygroves

4:06 am

mattygroves

I have now

4:06 am

sprite

hiya matty! Sneaky little ones, aren't they.

4:08 am

mattygroves

Yarp! I have no idea how I spotted those just cuz you said they were tricky. Heh. I have two of the Ns in the bottom right hand corner (weird words - sounds like what an atomic bomb does but spelled differently) - what in the world are the stats for the third (I have a 4/9 and 5/20)

4:08 am

grannyrose

g'day matty

4:08 am

mattygroves

Morning all!

4:08 am

grannyrose

ni5/10 matty

4:09 am

sprite

ni5/10. A babblet, of course.

4:13 am

mattygroves

Got it. It's amazing how quickly they appear when you know the stats and I think I actually know what it means (as I can count to 10 in Japanese)

4:14 am

sprite

yes that helps, indeed. Second generation of japanese immigrants.

4:20 am

sprite

fireflies. A very high ratio of babblets today.

4:21 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!!

4:21 am

mattygroves

Well done! I seem to be stalling (without the list) at 32 left. I just can't see any more words! I have the right two columns greyed out, the T, the W and both Es greyed out...but struggling now

4:21 am

sprite

a big *hug* to you both. Rose, sleep well and rest even better. Lots of love, darling. And matty, have a grand day.

4:22 am

mattygroves

Have a great one, Sprite!

4:22 am

grannyrose

5:29 am

crosshair

5:30 am

zoozzoom

lol

5:36 am

zoozzoom

Still waiting for summer to arrive here. It is not cold but not warm either :-(

5:38 am

crosshair

15-20C and lots and lots of rain here past few days

5:38 am

crosshair

better than minus 30, so I am content:)

5:39 am

sukee

Good morning.

5:39 am

zoozzoom

Yes I managed to turn my heating off three days ago now. So I should not complain really.

5:39 am

zoozzoom

Hello, sukee :-)

5:39 am

sukee

The rain passed up by yet again.

5:40 am

crosshair

lol. We had the heat off as soon as it popped above 10c for the first time:)

5:40 am

sukee

Hi zoo.

5:40 am

sukee

and crossy :)

5:40 am

crosshair

Howdy, Sukee

5:41 am

zoozzoom

Good grief, Crossy. No way would I not have heating on if it was just 10c.

5:41 am

crosshair

My blood is as thick as tar, zooz. I break into a sweat while combing my hair these days;0

5:42 am

sukee

5:43 am

crosshair

Manopause

5:43 am

zoozzoom

I swear I was born to live in a hot country..lol

5:44 am

crosshair

Cold does not bother me as I can always add layers, but if it is too hot? well, once you are buck neeked, there is nothing more to be done;)

5:45 am

zoozzoom

Go into a tub of cold water..swim in a river...get wet then use a fan to cool you down..so many ways. I find too many layers feels constricted.

5:46 am

sukee

As I said before, cold weather hurts my muscles, I need to live in a more moderate climate too.

5:46 am

zoozzoom

I sound like a naturist..lol

5:48 am

crosshair

I, also, am starting to stiffen up as time goes on:(

5:48 am

sukee

The Get Smart fan in me wants kaos to be accepted.

5:49 am

crosshair

My brother went way over the other way and now endures 115f summers in vegas:/

5:51 am

zoozzoom

Very close, Sukee :-)

5:51 am

zoozzoom

sounds nice to me, Crossy :-)

5:55 am

crosshair

Past 85F I am done. Just drag my heat-rashed carcass into some shade, because I am cooked

5:55 am

zoozzoom

lol

5:56 am

sukee

It's 19C here right now.

5:56 am

crosshair

Another 20 years I can see that I will need to move further north. The weather patterns keep changing and soon we will be the new florida

5:57 am

zoozzoom

Only 15c here :-(

5:57 am

crosshair

Just clicking over to 20c here

5:58 am

sukee

I guess it's a shorts day today.

5:59 am

zoozzoom

I should think it is more like a mankini for , Crossy..lol

5:59 am

sukee

eek.

5:59 am

zoozzoom

Don't want him to over cook in the swealtering 20c..lol

6:00 am

sukee

A woman in a group I belong to on Facebook posted a picture of her husband in a mankini. I can't forget it :)

6:01 am

sukee

He is a man with a rather large beer belly :)

6:01 am

zoozzoom
