Hello everyone, Hello, Sprite :-)

3:56 am

sprite

heeee zooz :) *hugs* dear man. Long time no see... how have you been?

3:56 am

zoozzoom

All well so far this end..lol

3:57 am

zoozzoom

Congrats to your son for his good grades!

3:57 am

zoozzoom

How have you been keeping?

3:57 am

sprite

thanks! So glad he made it.

3:58 am

sprite

and good to hear all is well in zoozland :)

3:59 am

zoozzoom

How are you doing these days, Sprite?

3:59 am

sprite

I am fine here. Still going pretty strong with the darn diet, but afraid to test the effect on the scale, lol.

4:00 am

zoozzoom

Nah you will be fine. A little bit at a time is all good.

4:01 am

sprite

as long as it is a little bit, I'll be happy. But unless my wishes deceive me, I am definitely losing weight.

4:02 am

zoozzoom

How is the hair doing.Have you let it grow again or are you keeping it shorter?

4:03 am

sprite

still short, and I like it this way. So for now, I am not letting it grow out again.

4:03 am

zoozzoom

Better for the summer too!

4:03 am

zoozzoom

How is caya doing?

4:04 am

sprite

hehehe yes. Caya is doing better. Much more movement and no pain. And no fainting either.

4:04 am

zoozzoom

Easier is NOT in the grid (note to self)

4:05 am

zoozzoom

Glad to hear it, Sprite :-)

4:05 am

sprite

close. Very close. But no cigar.

4:06 am

zoozzoom

How is, Rob, and the canoe doing..lol

4:08 am

sprite

rob is stressed because of changes at work... we even had a fight, he was that moody. Talked it out but... "I don't feel supported by you, but I don't know what you should differently so that I would feel supported by you." I mean... jeezzzz!

4:08 am

sprite

the canoe, though, is fine

4:09 am

zoozzoom

Oh dear...sorry to hear that, ((Sprite)) Glad you both managed to talk it through though!

4:11 am

sprite

yeah me too. To me it looks likehe is heading for another burnout. But if he has to, he has to...

4:12 am

zoozzoom

Well you know what most of us men are like..we will not listen to reason and we will have to learn the hard way if we learn it at all!

4:13 am

sprite

too true, grin. Well, I love him to pieces, so I'll be there for him all the way. Even if he doesn't feel it, lol.

4:13 am

sprite

how are your parents?

4:14 am

zoozzoom

Of course he knows you are there for him, Sprite, Stress does silly things to men.

4:14 am

zoozzoom

They have their ailments but otherwise they are doing well.Thanks for asking :-)

4:15 am

sprite

stress does silly things to us all. It is a tough thing to handle, for us poor humans.

4:15 am

sprite

ah good to hear, zooz. Yeah, Haz once said that aging is not for the timid. She is right!

4:15 am

zoozzoom

I agree with that saying!

4:17 am

sprite

we are all freakin' heroes to handle life the way we do. I truly feel that.

4:19 am

zoozzoom

All we can do is do our best. I know a lot of times we feel we are not doing it right.But to be honest who is? I am sure we all feel the grass is greener the other side. People look at other people and think I bet their lives is going better than mine.when tht person whom you are looking at and thinking that about is probably thinking the same thing about you..lol

4:21 am

sprite

so very true! For some reason, people often talk to me and unload some stuff. And often I would never have guessed looking at them, that they were going through such rough stuff. Who was it, who said "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a tough battle"?

4:22 am

zoozzoom

Yes I have heard that saying before but can not think of who said it.

4:23 am

sprite

wiki says Ian Maclaren, but often misattributed to Plato or Philo of Alexandria. The oldest known instance of this quotation is in the 1897 Christmas edition of The British Weekly: 'Be pitiful, for every man is fighting a hard battle.'

4:24 am

zoozzoom

Ah thank you for the info!

4:25 am

sprite

:) Now we will belong to the happy few who know it wasn't plato or philo, lol

4:26 am

sprite

fireflies. Am sorry to firefly and run, zooz, but it is my turn to cook today and I need to get the groceries... blech. *hugs* and have a lovely day.

4:27 am

zoozzoom

No problem, Sprite, Have a wonderful day.Nice to catch up with you :-)

Sorry, was trying to type with one hand.

5:33 am

Good morning, everybody:)

5:34 am

sukee

Hi crossy.

5:36 am

MimiCat

Hello, everyone! Just popping in for a minute as I am tired. Just got back from the hospital and have nearly lost the use of my legs. Must use a walker now. Really hate this.

5:37 am

crosshair

Howdy, sukee, ((mimi))

5:37 am

crosshair

Waht is going on, Mimi?

5:37 am

sukee

Hi mimi. Hey, I use a walker too, it is not so bad.

5:37 am

sukee

Sorry to hear about your problems.

5:38 am

MimiCat

((crossy)) They did every test you can think of and still don't know what is wrong. I am in constant discomfort so they just give me pills. Must go to a neurologist as soon as my stupid insurance is finally correctly in place.

5:39 am

MimiCat

Thanks for the empathy, sukee.

5:40 am

sukee

I hope they can find out exactly what is going on.

5:41 am

crosshair

mm, we do not worry about coverage, but we have a long wait sometimes for specialists. The brain drain is not as bad as it was in the 80's, but we still have too few of those high end docs.

5:42 am

crosshair

For us, most of them tend to gather in the south, in Mississauga and Toronto.

5:42 am

MimiCat

Sukee, how do you manage trying to carry something using a walker? I can walk on my own for a time so that is what I do when I need to carry something from the kitchen. The hard part is getting up...I must roll onto the arm of my couch on my stomach and push with my arms to stand. It is exhausting.

5:43 am

crosshair

For my mother-in law, I got a small bike hamper and mounted it to the frame of the walker:)

5:44 am

crosshair

Big enough for a book or other odds and ends

5:45 am

MimiCat

I just want to get fixed. This happened rather suddenly and there must be a reason. They did two MRIs, two CAT scans, two ultrasounds and lots of blood work on me and still don't know what is wrong, just that I don't have MS and other things.

5:45 am

crosshair

I hope they find out the cause soon, Mimi.

5:45 am

MimiCat

That's great. crossy.

5:45 am

sukee

Well, luckily I don't need the walker in the house. I have a walker with a seat and when I have to I put things on it. I also have a real hard time getting up from a sitting position.

5:46 am

MimiCat

My cats are going crazy with worry. They missed me while I was gone and now stick to me like glue and constantly give me love. Wish I could explain to them what is going on but don't know if that would help since I'm still infirmed.

5:47 am

MimiCat

Sukee, do you know why it's hard getting up?

5:47 am

sukee

Nope I don't, just weak legs.

5:48 am

sukee

I'm not fully diagnosed either. I know I don't have MS or MD.

5:48 am

sukee

In my case I have had it all my life but it only got worse in my 40s.

5:50 am

MimiCat

My legs feel like lead weights and are a combo of numb and painful. Making me crazy. Luckily I didn't get this until now and I'm 64. But it certainly makes me feel old.

5:51 am

MimiCat

At least I can still work since I work from home and at my computer. I'm thankful for that.

5:53 am

crosshair

That is a blessing.

5:53 am

MimiCat

Thanks for the support and must try to get some sleep. I seem to be sleepy at odd times but not when I should be sleeping. Exhausting. Hugs to all.

5:54 am

crosshair

tc ((Mimi))

5:54 am

sukee

Take care. Tiredness is part of muscular weakness, I know :) I now take regular naps.

5:55 am

MimiCat

I'm falling asleep while working which is annoying. Takes me much longer to get my work done. Must adjust though...no choice.

5:59 am

MimiCat

Going to try to sleep now. poink!

6:02 am

sukee

I'm off too, see you later

I did not know. I am so sorry.

9:06 am

rururocks

did zooz tell you the coast was clear now?

9:06 am

hurshy

i still miss him tons every day, he was my soulmate i think

9:06 am

lynxxx

I am sorry Hurshy - you were very attached I know. I hope he did not suffer

9:06 am

hurshy

no, zooz didn't tell me anything, i just thought i'd try and see

9:06 am

periwinkle

I know the feeling, hursh.

9:07 am

rururocks

oh.. he was going to.. on sudoku

9:07 am

rururocks

the creep stopped playing on March 3rd... it's been so much nicer here since

9:08 am

hurshy

he did not suffer much at all, he was pretty functional right up until the last day or so, then he was just sleeping like all the time, and then he wet the bed. i took him to the emergency vet cause it was a sunday to find out if it was time. as they were setting up the stuff to put him to sleep, i think he had a heart attack on my lap. so they didn't end up having to do it and i never had to wonder if it was really time, either.

9:08 am

periwinkle

I have no idea who you are talking about but glad he/she is not here.

9:09 am

rururocks

it doesn't matter peri.. they are gone

9:09 am

lynxxx

very sad but what a lovely way for him to go - for you both

9:10 am

rururocks

I can tell you Hurshy.. losing the soul mate pet in your life ... the sadness never goes away... I tell myself that I was blessed for the years I had and glad it was me that had that wonderful dog

9:11 am

hurshy

i dream about him a lot, so then i feel like i'm seeing him. and it's funny because in the dreams i generally am aware that he is dead, but he's just there anyway. and one time in one of them, people were like, why is he here, he's dead? and i said well just because he's dead doesn't mean he doesn't still want to be AROUND me

9:11 am

rururocks

I think about my dog .. everyday too

9:11 am

Babs1

sorry for your news hursh...I've lost 2 dogs over the last couple of years and miss them so much too!

9:12 am

rururocks

9:12 am

hurshy

sometimes i've also felt him jumping up on the bed and walking on the bed and then i look and there is no cat

9:12 am

helensgirlkid

We've had several cats, and all of them jumped on my bed and walked on me at night - all are gone now, but I still have a cat visitor in bed some night - I always know which one! Only three return this way, but the were very different, so I know which one has come by!

9:27 am

9:29 am

hurshy

that's cool helen

9:30 am

helensgirlkid

I think the three that visit are the only ones that didn't just jump on the bed and settle - they had to walk across to get to just the right spot! And yes a couple of them went in for kneading me - but they don't do that now.

9:30 am

MLFAN17

helensgirlkid

One of them did it all his life - but he had come to us a little too young, and he took me for mama right off - as a kitten he sucked the ends of my hair in his sleep. Never before had to wash my hair every morning! I was glad when he started settling for just kneading my shoulder. But he was kind enough to let me have a sheet and blanket in the way!

9:35 am

car.eeyore

Awwww

9:35 am

Bich, you have seasonal affective disorder in the winter? It is a disorder based on lack of light.

10:49 am

periwinkle

yay for Car!!

10:49 am

bichon

no in the summer. Due to the high humidity and temps. Doesn't go away til late Sept

10:49 am

MollyL

Sorry, I meant you "don't have" seasonal affective disorder in the winter

10:49 am

bichon

Right

10:50 am

bichon

I get very hot. Mr. Bich grew up in south Florida. There's lots of strife regarding the AC and overhead fans

10:50 am

MollyL

Oh, never heard of that. Most people I know are depressed in the winter, not the summer.

10:51 am

bichon

I grew up at the beach in NYC. I was used to the cool sea breezes. We rarely had a bad day

10:51 am

MollyL

You should send Mr. Bich out to live in a back yard tent if he loves the heat so much. Then you can keep yourself comfortable with fans and air conditioning.

10:52 am

bichon

That might work out. He's going to Costa Rica in a week. He should love that

10:54 am

MollyL

Well good. Then you can kick up your heels and run the fans and air conditioning at your comfort level. If I were you, I would threaten to stop showering unless he caves on the cool air strife.

10:56 am

bichon

I plan to do that and the fluffs will be happy too

11:01 am

bichon

Anybody see or hear from Ruby today

Brian Williams is on CNN, something only US people would know

4:48 pm

penquis

no, he is on NBC... but you are right...

4:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have always loved lester but heard he wants to match Brian's $9M salary up front.

4:49 pm

MollyL

I don't think Ireland has the kind of famous news anchors that the US does

4:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

$9M. incredible.

4:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

i don't think any other country would be inclined to pay them outrageous salaries. Or make them into something greater than the news. But I do not have the facts, just surmising.

4:51 pm

MollyL

You think that is incredible? Some alias band called De Rico is suing Beiber and Usher for 10 million, due to a copyright infringement.

4:51 pm

penquis

all based on ratings....

4:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

da#n.

4:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

then he should get at least $12M/

5:01 pm

Soodle

Ah, thanks for asking about my Dad, TO. :-). He is doing ok -ish. He got a pneumonia following his surgery, but, trooper that he is, he is weathering that storm! I swear! I'm middle-aged & menopausal - and Bith my parents will see me dead & gone!!! Lol

5:09 pm

Soodle

Lol TO. I was at a wedding once where the bride's father gave the following advice to his brand new son-in-law:- Whenever you're wrong - admit it. Whenever you're right :- Shut up!

5:10 pm

penquis

ha!

5:21 pm

I would love to sneak a bottle of Irish in to Soodle's Dad and listen to him tell stories for hours.

Hi owl

5:59 pm

72 Temple Owl

the top d has me stumped.

6:00 pm

MollyL

Think Russian, only spelled weird

6:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty, that crossed my mind but the letters were not there

6:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

i actualy tried a d instead of ca5/16 - close.

6:01 pm

MollyL

Enable is in love with variant spellings

6:03 pm

saanichcat

got it! Thanks Molly

6:03 pm

sukee

I am still stumped :)

6:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

do words disappear when the site is inactive, orjust if yu lo out and come back?

6:05 pm

sukee

In my experience, some do, some don't

6:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think it is russian for a summer house.

6:05 pm

sukee

Ah, got it TY

6:05 pm

saanichcat

you are right TO

6:06 pm

sukee

Trying to play while watching baseball :)

6:07 pm

MollyL

Words often disappear if you log out or go away from the game for a while. Best bet is to refresh every time you leave, and even that doesn't always work.

6:08 pm

sukee

That explains how sometimes you are sure you typed in a word before.

6:09 pm

MollyL

Well, no. If you type fast while playing, and don't check each word as it's entered, there is the possibility of typos.

6:09 pm

sukee

That is true.

6:13 pm

sukee

Ouch, ump got a ball in the bicep.

6:20 pm

I never make tyops.. so that isnf posieble

6:31 pm

rururocks

6:32 pm

sukee

I remember when a bat got into the library I worked in :)

6:32 pm

sukee

Those things can get under closed doors.

6:34 pm

rururocks

6:34 pm

sukee

And bunnies.

6:34 pm

mkg

hi all. any clues for the 8s? i have neither of them

6:35 pm

saanichcat

yes I like bats. They eat bugs at night and make it easier to sit oitside. I found (one of) the ways they were getiing in the house. They are endangered

6:36 pm

saanichcat

and I am pleased to have a colony. And no, they don't get stuck in your hair! That is a myth

6:37 pm

rururocks

wonders if saanich has a belfry :D

6:37 pm

saanichcat

and to make me appear a bit saner, I also love puppies and kittens!

6:37 pm

saanichcat

hi Bugs

7:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello, bugs.

7:09 pm

Bugsaw

I am not sure I really up to seeing a grown man wearing batman underwear. My boy liked to wear them backwards so he wouldn't fart on his hero.

7:10 pm

Bugsaw

They didn't fit properly but that didn't matter.

7:10 pm

saanichcat

!!!

7:11 pm

Bugsaw

I thot he was the only one until a whole bunch of us took our 3 year olds to the beach without planning. Lots of the boys were wearing them backwards and all the Mums were so relieved.

7:12 pm

MollyL

I don't think Ru meant wearing Batman underwear, but that is another, kind of adult story.

7:12 pm

Bugsaw

He could have Molly. He wanted to go for wearing his unders outside his pants. Who knows how weird he can get?

7:13 pm

Bugsaw

he is a wild and crazy guy!

7:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am bored with this grid, unfortunately,since not done.

7:15 pm

Bugsaw

I am always tired by the time I get to the last 20 or so TO. Hang in there

7:15 pm

7:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty.

7:16 pm

Bugsaw

7:25 pm

MollyL

Oh, I guess I don't think of Ru as weird.

7:26 pm

Bugsaw

not in a bad way weird, just a fun way weird. I don't think his mind follows the typical trajectory.

7:27 pm

saanichcat

I thought he was the sanest people I have ever met!

10:13 pm

rururocks

damn it

10:16 pm

uusue2

I always had thought of a da6/27 as being quite a mansion; turns out practically everybody has one, and they are more like cabins (visited there about 20 years ago)

10:21 pm

rururocks

Russia ... I don't think I'd be interested in visiting

10:22 pm

uusue2

it was for work, but I found it fascinating. Probably helped that I was with Russian colleagues the whole time.

10:31 pm

rururocks

hmm.. what I read wasn't all that great about Russia.. as far as how people are treated, crime, and accomodations

10:32 pm

uusue2

yes, that's why it was good I was with Russian colleagues - accommodations were official ones at the laboratories where we were working, and they didn't take us to areas where crime was a problem

10:34 pm

uusue2

I would not have wanted to be on my own there

10:35 pm

rururocks

that's good.

10:35 pm

rururocks

there's so much history in the world.. why go where it is dangerous. I don't get it.

10:36 pm

uusue2

I went for physics, not for history :-)

10:39 pm

rururocks

ah.. well.. glad it worked out for you

hey all, coming in late, think I can get halfway?

well halfway and NBT but still looking for NBS. *thinking*

11:49 pm

What do you need, stid?

11:49 pm

stidmama

I need an 8 tor, the first two letters of either one?

11:49 pm

torgone

ne & na

11:50 pm

stidmama

And how's the weather down there? It's cooler here (finally) but still so very dry. We're getting some roadside blazes in places that never burn. I'd hate to be on the other side of the mountains!

11:50 pm

stidmama

thanks *thinking*

11:50 pm

stidmama

got one! (the NE)

11:50 pm

stidmama

AND the NA! :-D

It's getting warmer .. We've already had some fires ..

Yay stid!

it's going to be a long fire season.

11:51 pm

torgone

I fear so ..

11:51 pm

stidmama

Down to 77, which is pretty good for only one smallish hint. LOL

11:53 pm

stidmama

OH! may I brag?

11:53 pm

torgone

Brag away!

11:55 pm

stidmama

:-D Stidkid #2 just got a PERMANENT part-time (up to 29 hours a week) job!!!!! He can keep it until he finishes college if he stays local. The manager is a long-time acquaintance and knows Grant really well, so as long as Grant does a good job, he's in a good place. *relieved and proud mama look* I think it's a lot safer than the construction he was doing last year!

11:57 pm

torgone

Excellent!

11:57 pm

stidmama

It makes me feel happy when the boys have success. The road to independence is NOT easy for kids these days.

11:58 pm

torgone

It's definitely stacked against them ..

11:59 pm

Yea for Grant!!!
