Haz has beautiful photo as her icon...seen in Ireland, stunning
3:36 am
zoozzoom
Yes she does, Lynxxx. I have seen lots of photos of them and my parents said that I had seen them when I was very young. alas I do ot remember that.
3:37 am
lynxxx
do you know why? does pollution effect where they show?
3:37 am
bichon
I's a medium sized cruise
3:37 am
lynxxx
It's a Norwegian ship Bichon?
3:38 am
zoozzoom
It's when the charged particles hits the atoms in the earths atmosphere, Lynxxx.
3:38 am
zoozzoom
They can be many different colours too not just green but red blue etc
3:39 am
lynxxx
Yes..I was wondering why they don't show on the Isle of Wright now? or did you see them somewhere else
3:40 am
bichon
In a couple of days will go dog sledding
3:40 am
zoozzoom
I take it that happens mostly in the northen parts of the world so where it is always cold lol
3:40 am
lynxxx
what a trip to remember Bichon
3:41 am
zoozzoom
Sounds like you are having a trip of a life time, Bichon! Hope you get some photos to keep for memories.
3:42 am
zoozzoom
I have been told they have been seen as far south as southhampton which is not that far from where I am.
3:43 am
zoozzoom
It is not ommon for it to be that far south though.
3:43 am
zoozzoom
Just been looking it up, Lynxxx... The lights are seen above the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres.
3:45 am
zoozzoom
http://tinyurl.com/34ahdw
3:45 am
lynxxx
I haven't seen them but you can see the Southern Lights in Tasmania
3:45 am
zoozzoom
Here is a link for a good source of info.
3:47 am
zoozzoom
Nothern lights are called aurora borealis while the southern lights are called aurora australis.
3:48 am
zoozzoom
So I take it if you have seen the southern lights they are the same as the northern lights.
3:49 am
bichon
Are the southern lights as dramatic as the northern?
3:49 am
lynxxx
BBL Stew is very anxious for his supper

3:58 am
sprite
this one is still productive and is worst in the morning.
3:59 am
zoozzoom
Not nice so you can not take night nurse for that then otherwise you will be all sleepy..Horrible. I hope it soon goes for you.
4:00 am
zoozzoom
How is your sleep. No big episodes I hope?
4:00 am
sprite
don't know night nurse, lol. I take something to help thin up the mucus in the airways. It will be over soon.
4:01 am
zoozzoom
Night nurse is a cough medicine that well for me knocks me out at night which is great when you have coughing fits so a nice peaceful night for me lol
4:02 am
sprite
ah sounds good. Sounds like it has some codeine in it.
4:03 am
zoozzoom
Each 20 ml dose contains Paracetamol 1000 mg, Promethazine Hydrochloride 20 mg and Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide 15 mg. Contains ethanol (alcohol) 18% v/v, sodium and glucose.
4:03 am
zoozzoom
Had to look it up.
4:04 am
sprite
wow :D Good stuff!
4:04 am
zoozzoom
I am glad it does not contain codeine as that stuff normally gives me a headache.
4:05 am
sprite
just the alcohol in itself would knock me out, I think, lolll
4:05 am
zoozzoom
http://tinyurl.com/jzn2lh3
4:05 am
zoozzoom
That is a photo of it.
4:05 am
zoozzoom
Yes that is probably what is knocking me out when I take it lol
4:06 am

Thankfully not needed it for a while now.
4:07 am

4:28 am
grannyrose
nasty grid. my love woke me in the best possible way this morning, after the best night's sleep for both of us.
4:29 am
sprite
pretty! And so organized. I am all over the place as usual, slowing down before reaching half which is not as usual. But only 2 7s so far and nothing bigger, which is my normal lack of skills.
4:29 am
grannyrose
hey.... where are my thanx....??
4:29 am

awwww that is so sweet, rose

4:31 am
sprite

4:32 am
grannyrose
she is zooz
4:32 am
sprite
lol zooz, all in all I am ok, I think. But I am notoriously biggieblind, usually only find them when I get near the end and know which letter they have to start.
4:32 am
grannyrose
and time for bed. {hugs} and kisses to both of you. i hope your day is filled with many pleasures.
4:33 am

Hello, Sukee :-)

I suspect a cat stepped on my computer overnight.
4:34 am
zoozzoom
Already had that word, Sukee :-)
4:34 am
zoozzoom
Yeah yeah blame the cats.
4:34 am
sukee
Not that the cat typed the word :)
4:35 am
sprite
such smart cats!
4:36 am
sukee
A picked up a neat toy, my birthday present from the money my sister sent me. Chromecast. I can view my laptop screen on my TV. No wires.
4:36 am
sprite
oh that is lovely!
4:36 am
zoozzoom
Why not, sukee, after all we say monkeys are typing away!
4:37 am
zoozzoom
Belated Happy Birthday, Sukee!
4:37 am
sprite
you mean you don't have actual monkeys doing the grunt work, zooz??
4:37 am
sukee
TY...now in my 60s...
4:37 am
sprite
from me too, sukee
4:38 am
sprite
the years of wisdom at last, sukee
4:38 am
zoozzoom
Not unless I draw them on my fingers LOL
4:38 am
zoozzoom
Is the sixties supposed to be the new life begins at?
4:39 am
sprite
no wonder you think I am fast *pats monkeys on the heads and throws in another bunch of bananas*
4:39 am
bichon
70 is great if you keep active in the 60,s
4:39 am
sprite
life begins anew every moment
4:40 am
zoozzoom
Sounds like there could be hope for me in the end then, Bichon!
4:40 am
sukee
Well, I plan on continuing to go to the gym 3 times a week.
4:40 am
sprite
that should do it. And don't die. That way, you can easily get to 110
4:41 am
bichon
I turned 70 this year and feel great.
4:41 am
sukee
Glad to hear it.
4:42 am
zoozzoom
I bought a yoga for beginners years ago and of yet to read it and follo instructions. Maybe i should give it a try.
4:42 am
zoozzoom
Nice one, Bichon! and on a cruise too...you are rocking!
4:42 am
sprite
hehehe good idea, zooz. Use it or lose it, you know it
4:42 am
sukee
The exercises I do are not hard. I go on the bike for a while, then do some weight bearing exercises on machines, some stretching and that is it.
4:43 am
sprite
no need for training hard. Just using the muscles for a bit is enough
4:43 am
zoozzoom
Better than over doing it, Sukee or nothing at all.
4:43 am
zoozzoom
Snap, Sprite!
4:44 am
sukee
and I'm gotten to know a bunch of guys in their 70s and 80s :)
4:44 am
sprite
yay sukee!
4:45 am
sukee
We all get there when the gym opens and we all know each others routine.
4:46 am
sprite
that makes it even better. And they will notice if you don't show up, so that should help when you feel lazy.
4:46 am
zoozzoom
So when a knew person starts and tries to get on a machine you all look at each other and hone in on him/her... get off of OUR machines LOL
4:46 am
sukee
lol...have you been watching?
4:47 am
zoozzoom
Well you do not want them to ruin the routine!
4:47 am
sukee
The woman who runs the place now signs us up every morning so we get "our" machines :)
4:48 am
sukee
They tried to change it to signing up for a month one day when I wasn't there but they all stood up for me and it's gone back to normal.
4:49 am
zoozzoom
A lot of the gyms round here are a month at a time.
4:49 am
sukee
This one you can go monthly, quarterly, yearly.
4:50 am
sukee
It's also attached to a senior's home that has convalescent care so sometimes people only use it short term.
4:51 am
sprite
halfway at last, and feeling like there cannot possibly be another 100+ words in this grid
4:51 am
sukee
lol, I am only 65 and finding it tough
4:51 am
sprite
that was where I started to slow down too!
4:52 am
zoozzoom
I thought you said you were 60, sukee lol
4:52 am
zoozzoom
Sorry being daft.
4:52 am
zoozzoom
I need to go and see parents now. Nice to see you ladies. Happy babbling and have a great day!
4:52 am
sprite
and only 2 7s and nothing bigger. *holds the grid upside down to see if that helps*
4:53 am
sukee
Too bad you can't rotate it.
4:54 am
sprite
shaking it would be nice. I have an app game on my phone that allows for shaking the grid. Or we could use Lori and her purple crayon to change the letters we don't like.
4:54 am
sukee
Yes, my boggle game allows that
4:55 am
sprite
mine is called wordshaker, I think
4:56 am
sukee
the Ws and Ys are giving me grief
4:56 am

missing one W, so I might be able to help there. Only have one Y though
4:56 am

4:57 am
sukee
I have 2 ys and 10 Ws
4:57 am

5:02 am
sukee

5:04 am
sukee
woo hoo, I blocked out 2 tiles
5:04 am
sprite
maybe it is uncl4ted?
5:05 am
sukee
but, in the process don't you uncl4?
5:06 am
sprite

Min, perhaps your friends will rally round and help make repairs. If you can get the paint or cleaners, friends are a great resource to spend a day having a huge prepping event.
9:23 pm
Minveryork
Bugsaw, haven't been here since November 14th, but I will still keep in touch when I can, if that post was meant 4 me
9:23 pm
Minveryork
Unfortunately,I do not have too many friends. I am a loner
9:24 pm
Bugsaw
I wish you well. It is a big task, especially if you are trying to do all the work yourself as well as working fulll time
9:25 pm
Bugsaw
I bet you have more friends that you think you do. I find it difficult to ask for help too but I have learned to force myself and someone always turns up saying they were glad that I had asked. I hope this works for you too.
9:25 pm
Minveryork
Got some estimates which of course were very expensive. I think my hubby will do some painting so it will cut some of the cost. However, he is not a professional painter though
9:26 pm

Also need to redo my hardwood floors which hubby cannot do.Garage needs sheetrock and holes need to be patched.
9:26 pm

Too bad you aren't closer Min. I like to paint. I think I'm going to repaint my livingroom soon.

Wow, you really do have a lot of work to do.
9:29 pm
Minveryork
Finally, I also have to put electricity into the extension on house which never had electric. It could easily cost me at least 10,000 dollars just to get the house ready for sale.
9:32 pm
Minveryork
That is just the inside of the house. House also needs work on the outside; house needs to be power washed, the deck needs to be restained, and replace front door light . I don't know how I am going to get this all done by springtime. I wish I could just try to sell house as is.
9:34 pm
origami
Can you take a little longer to do the work? Or is there an urgency to sell by the spring?
9:36 pm
Minveryork
My realtor said the best time to sell the house is right after the Superbowl. I said I wanted to wait until after we have a garden done,around Memorial Day but she said it's late.
9:37 pm
