12:21 am

pugmama763

One of the downsides of freelance work. No specific hours to wake up. No specific hours to fall asleep. One runs into another and before you know it, you're awake 8 hours each day. heh.

*grin* hi flosey. how are you sweetie?

1:30 am

grannyrose

*grin* hi flosey. how are you sweetie?

1:30 am

grannyrose

*sigh* hiccup...lolll

1:30 am

flosey

good thanks rose, fell asleep in my easy chair reading so was late coming in here!

1:30 am

flosey

what a day to do that

1:31 am

flosey

but this grid seems to move along nicely

1:31 am

grannyrose

oh, dear.... lol. you must have needed the nap.

1:31 am

flosey

yes, and it was very refreshing

1:32 am

grannyrose

it do4 flosey. lots of strings of words.

1:38 am

flosey

lovely flowers, rose

1:42 am

grannyrose

flosey, some of my roses from my own garden. the cecil brunner is ready for it's first summer pruning. the golden jubilee is covered in blooms and my apple blossom rose has just started to flower.

1:43 am

flosey

ah how lovely - I never remember the names of roses, we have a rose garden and each one represents a loved one

1:45 am

grannyrose

what a lovely thing to do, flosey. the golden jubilee represents my ex-husband's grandmother, the lorraine leigh is from a former patient, the perfume perfect is a birthday gift from my work colleagues and the remember me is where don's father buried.

1:46 am

flosey

aha, so your rose garden has similar meanings

1:46 am

grannyrose

one day i am gonna find a neil armstrong. that one has the most amazing scent.

1:47 am

flosey

have not seen that one, must look next spring

1:48 am

grannyrose

lol, yes it does. i have some others which were planted before i moved in but at le2 two of them are don's two daughters. both very much alive i assu7re you.

1:51 am

grannyrose

the cecil brunner is just because. it is a multi-petal tearose with a scent which on a warm day drifts into your house, or in our case, infiltrates the washing hanging on the line.

1:51 am

flosey

we started this garden when we came here 20 years ago, so some of these loved ones have passed on

1:53 am

grannyrose

like your christmas tree garden??

1:53 am

flosey

but the tiny Christmas trees are in different locations, and so far, only 2

1:54 am

grannyrose

ahhh, so it is just beginning. lovely.

1:55 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs, ladies.

1:55 am

Lizlin

Your gardens sound lovely.

1:55 am

flosey

hi Liz

1:56 am

grannyrose

hi and {{hugs}} lizgirl. *squeezes the breath out of liz*

1:57 am

Lizlin

Watch out for my ribs!

1:57 am

flosey

I'll be a little gentler, Liz

1:57 am

Lizlin

Appreciated.

1:58 am

Lizlin

I never realised how long bruised ribs take to heal.

1:59 am

grannyrose

poor lizgirl.... * backs off the hug*

2:00 am

Lizlin

I like your hugs :)

2:01 am

Lizlin

But, at le5 I'm back at the gym.

2:02 am

flosey

tks Liz, missed that one - and glad you're able to be back to the gym

2:02 am

grannyrose

good for you liz. and i am back on the stationary bike. trampoline next

2:03 am

Lizlin

Good for you too!

2:04 am

Lizlin

Duh me! Have had that word for a while, but not the related direction!

2:04 am

grannyrose

lol....i lost my rhythm in the fast pedal phase. but still managed 2 cycles.

2:04 am

Lizlin

That's great

2:05 am

grannyrose

will try three cycles in a few days.

2:05 am

Lizlin

Gently, Rose.

2:06 am

grannyrose

absolutely liz

2:06 am

Lizlin

How are you generally?

2:07 am

grannyrose

yesterday i wasn't too good. felt sick most of the day, prolly due to stress. today much better.

2:08 am

Lizlin

Because of work cover?

2:09 am

grannyrose

yup. new report says i can drive a car. found out last tuesday i cannot apply the brake in an emergency situation.

2:09 am

flosey

stress is bad, rose - sometimes hard to avoid though

2:09 am

Lizlin

That's rubbish for you - so you can't drive now, I guess.

2:10 am

grannyrose

i know flosey. i have been told again and again, stop worrying. how do you turn your head off when you ar4e asleep?

2:10 am

flosey

so true!! unfortunately

2:10 am

Lizlin

Very hard to do.

2:11 am

grannyrose

oh well. i have a wonderful man by my side. i will get there.

2:12 am

Lizlin

For sure you will. Be so much easier when all the legal stuff is over.

2:12 am

Lizlin

And yes, we're so lucky with our men.

2:12 am

grannyrose

*grin* i so know that.

2:12 am

flosey

amen to that

2:15 am

grannyrose

and now we have terrorists attacking all over our planet. our specialists were quite eloquent.

2:16 am

Lizlin

So sad - so much terror in the world.

2:16 am

flosey

so frightening

2:16 am

grannyrose

just decide who is the them and us. i totally agree with the them is extremists and the us is the moderates.

2:17 am

flosey

so many of these people need our help but difficult to know how to handle the terrorists amongst them

2:19 am

TheByzantine

Terrorists should be fair and wear name tags.

2:19 am

grannyrose

i agree with leaving religion out of the argument.

2:19 am

TheByzantine

3:35 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Rose. Hope you enjoyed your evening meal :-)

3:36 am

grannyrose

slow cooked corned beef and salad. oh my...

3:37 am

grannyrose

beef slow cooked...not the salad....lolll

3:37 am

zoozzoom

Very nice! I have not had corned beef for ages. Making my mouth water just thinking of it lol

3:37 am

zoozzoom

Well yes I gathered that lol

3:38 am

grannyrose

zooz, i soak for nearly 12 hours then cook it in my slow-cooker with black peppercorns, mustard powder, bay leaves, garlic, onion, and brown vinegar.

3:39 am

grannyrose

oh, and brown sugar

3:39 am

grannyrose

it is melt in your mouth.

3:40 am

zoozzoom

My mother also has a slow cooker but she used it nearly everyday for over a month. In the end my dad insisted they did not have anymore slow cooked meals for a while lol

3:40 am

grannyrose

i cook pickled pork the same way. himself loves it.

3:41 am

grannyrose

understood zooz. yes...slow cooked meals can become tedious.

3:42 am

grannyrose

mind you my beef/lamb stews with dumplings are just divine...

3:43 am

zoozzoom

He is very fussy about food. And there is not much he will eat so when he said he really enjoyed the meal from the slow cooker well that was it. Mother would cook always with the slow cooker lol Bless her. Must be hard to find meals for a fuss pot!

3:43 am

grannyrose

i used it a lot...the slow cooker...when MIL was living here. she was able to chew/eat the meat so easily.

3:43 am

zoozzoom

Oh yes I love beef stew with dumplings, Rose!

3:44 am

grannyrose

*makes note to self* must cook beef/lamb stew for zooz when we are over in the uk.

3:45 am

zoozzoom

Yes that is it, Rose, When he eats a lot of the time his throat starts to close up and so he can not eat. Plus he is always saying this does not taste right or that is horrible and these are fresh from the shop.

3:47 am

grannyrose

strange that, zooz. DH says his throat closes up too. i have found that lozenges of difflam help him.

3:47 am

zoozzoom

All he has these days is the ensure drinks with vitamins & fibre. Mashed potato, beans and maybe a fried egg all wound up into a heap.

3:47 am

grannyrose

poor man...

3:48 am

zoozzoom

Never heard of them, Rose. Can we get them here and do they have a flavour if so he will not have them lol

3:48 am

grannyrose

i so love the flavours of food.

3:49 am

zoozzoom

Me too! I love garlic but alas can not have any as if I go round after eating any he will have a fit and say I stink lol

3:49 am

grannyrose

check them out zooz. some of them do have a flavour. but he maybe able to tolerate them.

3:49 am

grannyrose

zooz, try dried garlic flakes.

3:50 am

zoozzoom

Just looked , Rose, those are for sore throats he does not have a sore throat at all.

3:51 am

grannyrose

try them anyway zooz. you never know, mate

3:51 am

zoozzoom

Oh yes they also have a anti inflammatory too. Should of read a bit more :-)

3:51 am

grannyrose

with the anaesthetic, they may just work.

3:51 am

zoozzoom

I will look out for them and give them a try

3:56 am

grannyrose

4:08 am

zoozzoom

Sorry bout that had a phone call.

4:08 am

zoozzoom

No idea, Rose. Not seen her for a few days.

4:10 am

grannyrose

4:11 am

zoozzoom

Last i heard was she was feeling a lot better from having the flu and was well on the mend.

4:11 am

grannyrose

4:11 am

zoozzoom

I knew she got upset about the Paris killings and she went off line then.

4:12 am

grannyrose

yeah, she doesn't handle stuff like that well.

4:13 am

grannyrose

i'll email her tomorrow...while i am anchored to my chair...

4:14 am

grannyrose

xoxox zooz. i hope you have a great day.

4:14 am

zoozzoom

Okay sorry to leave you, Rose. But I need to shower and get ready to see my parents!

4:14 am

4:28 am

grannyrose

sprite??? {{hugs}} and good morning. and well done on the k's.

4:29 am

sprite

hi sweetie, what's with all the question marks? *hugs* back at ya, and how did your weekend go?

4:30 am

grannyrose

my weekend was the pits. i felt so low... and the question marks...i wasn't sure you wanted to see me.

4:31 am

sprite

what the heck? Why wouldn't I want to see you, darling? You are my bestest friend here.
So sorry to hear you were low this weekend. Lots of pain?

4:31 am

grannyrose

i wouldn't want to see me...

4:32 am

grannyrose

not lots of pain...just feeling very moody.

4:32 am

sprite

silly girl. I always want to see you. No matter what, no matter where. No matter what you are looking or wearing (or not wearing).

4:33 am

sprite

ugh, that is awful. Such a rotten feeling. Any idea what caused it?

4:35 am

grannyrose

possibly my sadness that the denervation hasn't worked fully. and the last IME doc was soooo silly. he reckons i can work 19 hours/week. but workcover fed him the wrong info. it told him i was working 38 hours/week pre-injury. and i was working 27 hours.

4:37 am

grannyrose

and after we had lunch with the youngest of my sons, i was so sad that my eldest was being such an a***hole.

4:37 am

sprite

your lawyer has to step up to the mark now, rose, and take this off your hands. This is a mess and he needs to clear it.
I am truly sorry the denervation hasn't rendered the results we hoped for.

5:02 am

sprite

hiccup done!

5:02 am

grannyrose

*smooch* my darling sprite

5:03 am

sprite

sprite

5:05 am

sukee

5:08 am

sprite

hi Byzantine

5:11 am

sprite

how are you feeling, sukee?

5:12 am

sukee

I'm feeling quite good actually, the pills I am taking seem to be doing their jobs.

5:12 am

sukee

I still have some shingles pain but it goes down every day, seems to disappear if I massage the area with the pain.

5:12 am

sprite

that is good news! Am glad for you.

5:13 am

sukee

I am starting to feel more like myself again, not scared :)

5:13 am

sprite

oh, being able to do something about the pain is such progress.

5:14 am

sprite

awesome. Courageous sukee!

5:15 am

sukee

Well, what else can you do? :)

5:16 am

sprite

hehehe true. Well, some give in and go down in despair. But I am very glad you are the other kind.

5:16 am

sprite

the kind that allows herself the occasional down moment, but comes back stronger every time

5:16 am

TheByzantine

Some Buddhists would say, life is suffering and then death.

5:17 am

Now I feel like singing I will Survive :D

5:17 am

sprite

as long as I know how to love I know I will survive!

5:17 am

sprite

thanks for putting that in my head, lol

5:18 am

sukee

You are welcome :)

5:18 am

sprite

lighten up, Byzantine. :P

5:18 am

TheByzantine

here we are ... all together as we sing our song ... joyfully ...

5:18 am

sukee

My two kitties help, I was in fits of giggles when Damon, the grey one, got an empty kleenex box stuck on his head.

5:18 am

sprite

awwww precious

5:18 am

sukee

I couldn't get up to help him right away because I was laughing so hard.

5:19 am

sprite

they are priceless, our pets

5:20 am

sukee

Both have also been very affectionate, taking turns sitting on my nap.

5:20 am

sukee

So happy I got them when I did.

5:21 am

sprite

*giggles* Sitting on your nap? That would wake me up for sure

5:22 am

sukee

lol, lap.

5:22 am

sprite

I knew that. Just couldn't resist :D

5:22 am

sukee

I didn't even notice the typo.

5:22 am

TheByzantine

Lighten up, sprite

5:23 am

sprite

I am rotten that way, I always spot typos. Makes me a great editor, but a lousy chat partner, grin.

5:23 am

sprite

even lighter than this, Byzantine? That would make me give off light, no doubt.

5:23 am

sukee

I can't believe there are 8 Ks, so far I only have 2.

5:24 am

sprite

I did the ks first off. Always do that. I can only start babbling for fun when the pesky k is out of the way.

5:24 am

sprite

so let me know if you want clues

5:25 am

TheByzantine

Time to leave this hostility ... hahahaha

5:25 am

1:50 pm

hego

Can't even picture that.

1:51 pm

Aussieme

1:54 pm

Aloyisius

hi all, and thanks for the clues.. was the vegemite flavored?

1:54 pm

hego

Hi Aloy

1:54 pm

Aussieme

kinda like a beefy flavour

1:54 pm

Aloyisius

howdy hego

1:54 pm

Aussieme

but not beef.... hard to explain Aloy

1:54 pm

Aloyisius

oh, ok.. was trying to imagine the taste of yeast extract

1:55 pm

hego

Sorry, sounds strange.

1:55 pm

Aloyisius

tell me about the texture

1:55 pm

hego

a spread, right?

1:57 pm

Aussieme

yes, a spread. Made from used brewers yeast.

1:57 pm

Aussieme

I seriously can't explain it.

1:58 pm

Aussieme

But.....

1:58 pm

Aussieme

We're happy little Vegemites
As bright as bright can be.
We all enjoy our Vegemite
For breakfast, lunch, and tea.
Our mummies say we're growing stronger
Every single week,
Because we love our Vegemite
We all adore our Vegemite
It puts a rose in every cheek.

1:58 pm

hego

hahahaha!

1:58 pm

Aloyisius

Long Live Vegemite!

1:59 pm

Aussieme

Yep indeed!

Aussieme

Best sources of Vitamin B going!

Trying to figure out how you reclaim used yeast.

2:01 pm

Aloyisius

2:02 pm

I had that too.

2:03 pm

hego

No liver for us.

2:03 pm

hego

Thank Heaven.

2:04 pm

Aloyisius

only way I could eat it was to smear mustard all over it

2:04 pm

hego

I can imagine.

2:05 pm

Aloyisius

now I love it, with onions and mushrooms and bacon of course

2:05 pm

Aloyisius

no mustard

2:05 pm

hego

It's loaded with cholesterol.

2:05 pm

Aussieme

by breaking the used yeast down by autolysis, and then adding salt, celery and onion extracts to form the paste

2:06 pm

hego

interesting.

2:06 pm

Aloyisius

I know hego.. a once in a great while treat

2:06 pm

Aloyisius

that actually sounds tasty, Aussie

2:07 pm

Aussieme

See, I'm biased because I love Vegemite.

2:09 pm

Aloyisius

2:09 pm

Aussieme

kje

: )

10:39 pm

jesdraggon

and yet you're some 24 words ahead of me, tor

10:40 pm

jesdraggon

if you're dabbling, i must only be dawdling?

10:50 pm

torgone

My dabbling has slowed to dawdling, my middling is maudlin, my motivation is moribund ..

10:52 pm

jesdraggon

but your alliteration is abundant

10:54 pm

torgone

And my obfuscation is obsequious ..

10:57 pm

jesdraggon

also delightfully distracting from a dour grid

11:11 pm

torgone

Let's see what I have now ... Hmmm 81 still .. Something tells me this ain't happening tonight ..(Boy if I had a dollar for every time I've said that to myself ...)

11:15 pm

jesdraggon

11:16 pm

torgone

At least a couple more dollars than I have .. ;^)
