12:55 am

Hi and hugs, Sprite. How are you today and thanks for Chap 2 :)
12:56 am
sprite

*hugs Liz* I am fine, just have trouble sleeping through the nights. Up at 4 am, lol. But otherwise all good. Glad you enjoy reading the story! How are you and your beloved?
12:56 am
Lizlin

Very well here - keeping very busy, moving rocks to terrace the slope at the back. The driftwood rotted out :(
12:57 am
flosey

hi Sprite
12:57 am
sprite

ouch. Carrying rocks, that is hard work. No need to go to the gym :D
12:57 am
sprite

hi flosey :) How are you today?
12:57 am
Lizlin

Do that as well. I've been pretty static recently and I don't like that.
12:58 am
sprite

good for you. I should be more active too, but am procrastinating
12:58 am
Lizlin

If I do nothing physical, i start to ache.
12:58 am
flosey

good thanks Sprite, hope you get over the sleepless nights
12:59 am
Lizlin

Sleepless nights are unpleasant and frustrating.
12:59 am
flosey

yes, and lonely!
12:59 am
sprite

in time I will, I am sure, flosey. Good to hear you are good :)
12:59 am
Lizlin

Very true.
1:00 am
flosey

I usually come out and play on the computer for a bit
1:00 am
Lizlin

I hate getting out of bed if I can't sleep. I just want to go to sleep, which of course, makes it worse!
1:00 am
flosey

there's always someone around the world looking for a game of bridge
1:01 am
Lizlin

Great thing about time zones!
1:01 am
flosey

yes, sure is
1:01 am
sprite

I have to get up, my body won't let me lie awake for long. So off to the computer... do some translating, some silly game... sometimes babble chat!
1:03 am
Lizlin

For me, inactivity is a sure way to guarantee I won't sleep.
1:04 am
flosey

agree Liz, me too - have to get my mind going in another direction
1:04 am
Lizlin

Like I said, I need to do physical stuff, which is odd, considering I don't enjoy exercise!
1:05 am
sprite

it is always hard to find the delicate balance between being physically active enough, and not overdoing things which results in afterpain.
1:05 am
Lizlin

Don't think I'm ever that active then!
1:06 am
sprite

lol me neither. I mean because of my handicaps, not because of my rigorous training, lolol
1:06 am
Lizlin

Gosh! I've missed so many past tenses!
1:06 am
sprite

one of those grids, hm?
1:07 am
Lizlin

Probably not for you!
1:08 am
sprite

oh for sure. One of my standard strategies is to play until I get stuck, then look at my wordlist and add all endings to (almost) all words. I forget plurals, singulars, verb forms, you name it.
1:09 am
Lizlin

I do that too. With my own rules there - how many I need to get before I list! Down to 30 now but I'll probably take a break soon and then come back, hopefully to spot some more words.
1:09 am
hurshy

phantom: remedy
1:10 am
Lizlin

What gets me, is when I list and there's an obvious word missing but I still can't see it!
1:10 am
sprite

I try not to use Lickety. But with bigger grids, I usually check anyway with the last 10 or so. To save time, grin.

1:11 am
Lizlin

But because I use a Mac, I don't have the screens you do - professional, is it?
1:11 am
hurshy

hi spritey :)
1:12 am
Lizlin

No, I mean expert.
1:12 am
sprite

I have the Babble Expert that Lickety designed, but I use it for the chat option. I don't open the word list until the very end, if then.
1:12 am
sprite

how've you been, hursh?
1:13 am
Lizlin

Ah well. Perhaps when I've played for as long as you.
1:13 am
hurshy

i've been ok but i have a sick cat on my hands.
1:13 am
Lizlin

Aw! Poor Hurshy's cat :( Not serious I hope.
1:14 am
hurshy

it is likely to be lymphoma but so far all tests are inconclusive
1:14 am
sprite

you'll catch up with me, lol... if I stop playing. Not gonna happen yet though. But you will be better than me in no time. I am not that good.
1:14 am
sprite

aw hursh :( That is bad news. Am so sorry.
1:14 am
Lizlin

Not nice. Hoping for the best. How old is your cat?
1:15 am
hurshy

16
1:15 am
sprite

a respectable age. I really hope he/she will pull through, hursh
1:16 am
Lizlin

That's a good age, I think (I know more about dogs than cats). Still it's never nice when a pet suffers.
1:18 am
Lizlin

Has Caya had a good time in her first week away?
1:19 am
sprite

yes she had a great time. First night she met her neighbours to one side, who went to a party and invited her to join them. She enjoyed it so much.
1:19 am
sprite

and she loves having her own place, making it pretty and her own.
1:20 am
Lizlin

That's great and although I know it's hard for you and Rob, hearing that sort of thing must make it easier - knowing that she's settling in and is happy.
1:20 am
sprite

mother is washing her curtains right now, lol...
1:20 am
Lizlin

Lovely mother :)
1:20 am
sprite

yes, that is exactly it. It is tough to have to miss her. But it is wonderful to hear she is coming into her own so well.
1:21 am
Lizlin

Down to 20 now but not seeing any more. So time for a break. Healing and comfortable vibes to your cat, Hurshy. Hugs Sprite - and to Rose too if you see her.
1:22 am
sprite

will do. *hugs* and my love to your beloved.
1:22 am
sprite

and to you yourself, of course!
1:22 am

Here I was, ready to add an amusing definition for Sprite's list, only to discover it's really a word (ti6/21). Life (and Babble) can be astonishing sometimes
5:11 am
rubyfoo

I'd welcome some astonishment! And hello
5:11 am
mattygroves

Good morning! How are you today, Ruby?
5:12 am
rubyfoo

The sun is shining, temp is perfect, and Annecy got through its big festival without incident.
5:12 am
MollyL

Hey Ruby, you were asking about the package, It did arrive, I thanked you for it and told you the reason it took so long is that there was no suite number on it. Thanks again.
5:13 am
mattygroves

Nice way to start a Sunday :) The sun isn't quite shining yet, though it's supposed to later. Today we shall visit a garden centre for barbeque cleaning stuff, the supermarket for foodstuff (and loo roll) and possibly the pub later ;)
5:13 am
rubyfoo

And you, Matty, how are you? I conyinue watching the US election race with a combination of horror and disbelief.
5:14 am
rubyfoo


Molly, I never saw your message, but I'm relieved!
5:15 am
rubyfoo

When I send things to the States, they often disappear or take months
5:15 am
MollyL

Oh that is odd. I was sure you had responded when I told you about it not having a suit number and going back to the post office. My mail carrier found it there for me.
5:15 am
mattygroves

As indeed to I, from here across the pond :) I fear that, well, fear will prevail and Trump has a good chance. Also, (at the risk of being political) I think there is an uncomfortable thread of misogyny surrounding Clinton - traits that would be laudable in a man are considered awful in her. I'm not saying she's a perfect flower (she is, after all, a politician) but she sure as hell beats the alternative.
5:15 am
rubyfoo

I may have lost my marbles, Mollyt, they seem to be Rolling away....
5:16 am
mattygroves

The whole Trump thing is, I think, fuelled by the same thing that fuelled the Brexit vote - fear and a feeling by the least advantaged people in both countries that things simply can't get any worse - that any change *must* be for the better
5:17 am
rubyfoo

I think <Hillary's problem is her voice (also endemic mysogyny). 2As my sistr says, if she took a page from Jackie O's playbook and spoke softly, everybody would lean in.
5:18 am
mattygroves

But no-one expects a man to do the same. Shrillness is seen as a particular negative feminine trait
5:20 am
mattygroves

I'm not saying, mind you, every Clinton critic is sexist, and certainly not intentionally sexist. But we all do have views and gut feelings that have been influenced by the society in which we grew up.
5:21 am
rubyfoo

I just Watch, ensconced in my remote village, and hope for the best
5:22 am
mattygroves

Yeah, pretty much ditto ;)
5:24 am
mattygroves

I wrote a thing for a friend's blog about the pink-isation (can I say that?) of Lego, if you're interested... https://goo.gl/SmEeDF
5:26 am
rubyfoo

I had no idea about that. When my son was 4 and we spent that year in Europe, he shlepped a bagof Legos and his Raggedy Ann and Andy all over the place. I'm disappointed that the company has caved; There goes th next generation of engineers!
5:26 am
mattygroves

Oh wow, have a look at the Lego Friends range. Pink and girly and purple and kind of....urgh.
5:28 am

Nice piece Matty, very well written and an interesting topic.
5:28 am

I now seem to be stuck (until I list) on 68 left - I think I shall brush my hair and get ready to go out - if I don't see you later, have a great day, Ruby, Molly and any lurkers about

Molly, are you watching the games? It's hard to Watch from here because of the time difference. The good sports are on too late for me
5:34 am

No I am not watching the games. I have never been an Olympics fan. Many people seem to be enjoying them though.

Scrabs, question for you. Adter watching a soccer tournament [with my g'ddaughter playing] the boys are better players, but the girls are more vicicious. I saw my precious Savannah push another girl to score a goal.
9:41 am
Scrabbler

This is a lesson in sacrifice for me.
9:41 am

its a lesson that you deserve the very very best and lovely things in life because you are really quite amazing

No, but just 3 hrs (0500) before the boys were going to be brought to her by their father.
9:53 am
bichon

What a shame. The boys are so beautiful and charming
9:54 am
Scrabbler

They deserve mature, responsible parents,as do all children. I do not know that their parents will ever stop being selfish...and angry at the otherparent.
9:54 am
bichon

Can the boys live with their father?
9:54 am
bichon

Well, I hope a good solution works out.
9:58 am
Scrabbler

No, that would be even worse. He is totally neglectful of their needs--won't feed them, won't change diapers, he yells at them. I will demand supervised visits to continue with their father (my nephew.) He is so immature and irresponsible.
9:59 am
bichon

Can you take them forever? That would be a lot to ask.
9:59 am
Scrabbler

I have become a protective Mama Bear and seriously considered that recently.

do the bunnies approve of the new residents?
10:01 am

It would be a major disruption in my life. For now the parents must be given second chances and if they screw up then....
10:02 am

Remy has run of the house and is terrorized by the boys, so he retreats to my bedroom most of the time.

poor Remy! at least he has your room as a haven
10:03 am

10:04 am

This situation should be "rock bottom"for the parents to change their behavior, reassess their priorities, and mature.If they don't get it now then these 2boys should suffer no longer.

Marjetta

At least her mother, my daughter, realized that she was in no condition to raise a child. It just became very real for her though. The granddaughter starts school this year.
10:07 am
Scrabbler

I must get all of us ready now to visit my mother first. She is 85 and needs a quick clean-up before I bring the boys to see their mother for a few hours.
10:07 am

Have a good day Scrabs and bless you.
10:07 am
Marjetta

Good luck Scabbler. You are doing the right thing.
10:08 am

Marjetta, the boys' parents each blame the other and do not see themselves as responsible for problems. Now CPS and the courts will oversee their behavior. Bye, folks.
