Hi Sprite
1:42 am
sprite
hiya sandy :)
1:43 am
sandyloo
How have you been keeping?
1:43 am
sprite
pretty good, all in all. How about you?
1:44 am
sandyloo
Fine, I am usually pretty healthy and happy as I hope you are. What do you do for xmas?
1:45 am
sprite
nothing much. The kids are both away, it is just me and my love. Cuddling up together on the couch, methinks, with a nice movie, or music and a good book. Maybe an irish stew with lamb for dinner. And you?
1:46 am
sandyloo
The whole family is going to Perth to spend xmas together at my mother's place. We have a traditional xmas dinner and usually about 18 people.
1:46 am
sprite
sounds great
1:47 am
sandyloo
It is a lot of work and my mother is 89. However she is training me to take over so I do help her a lot.
1:47 am
sprite
how beautiful, that you will carry on the tradition
1:48 am
sandyloo
We always have our lunch first and open presents afterwards - that way mum gets to see everyone open the pressies. This year my grandaughter is two so she will understand xmas and this will add a lot to the day
1:49 am
sandyloo
My mother is truly amazing, her brain is fullly intact and she is very fit for her age
1:50 am
grannyrose
{{hugs}} and good morning dear sprite. cooee sandy. xoxox
1:50 am
sandyloo
I am sorry your kids will be away, I hope you will not miss them too much
1:50 am
sprite
my love and I both come from very dysfunctional families. No traditions at all that we'd like to keep. We introduced some of our own, and one of those is that we don't insist on a certain date to celebrate. That way, our kids can go to their 'in-law' families or friends on Xmas, and we will celebrate in january with them and their friends.
1:50 am
sprite
and woooot for your mother.
1:51 am
sprite
*hugs rose* Hello my dear friend. So great to see you. How are you? Have you rested up a bit?

2:40 am
grannyrose
okay... prayers increasing... xoxox
2:41 am
sprite
thanks my friend. It is quite an intensive process. But I am amazed by how strong and stable I feel through it all. Guess I really did enough preparation over time. And Noud is a wonderful therapist for me.
2:46 am
grannyrose
like me post-op revision total knee. i can still go up and down stair with no problems. weird, huh? i thought it might be all the physio i did after the first knee replacement. and you... you have done it all and become very experiened.
2:47 am
sprite
I guess we are both survivors. We are stronger than we would have been without any troubles.
2:49 am
sprite
wow, found all the biggies with 31 left.
2:52 am
grannyrose
good for you sprite
2:52 am
sprite
lol, just a fluke
2:54 am
grannyrose
yes we are survivors. but today i felt such a wuss. felt like bursting into tears which i did at one stage. no boohooing, just a gentle weeping. i am so tired of the pain and aching.
2:55 am
sprite
{{{{{rosey}}}}}} I know, dear friend. It is something that erodes your energy and spirit. And you are not a wuss for feeling like crying, or for crying. Not at all. It is one way to blow off some steam.
2:56 am
grannyrose
had something to add but decided not to as it would be too worrying for you. i need you to concentrate on your own recovery sweetie.
2:56 am
sprite
and sweetie, however eroding it is, you have found so many ways to refuel. You are doing an awesome job. Don't forget you are overdoing things atm... which means your energy is lower and you will feel overwhelmed more easily. It will pass. Plan some very quiet weeks after Xmas.
2:56 am
sprite
rose! Now you have me worrying much worse than if you'd told me. So tell me.
2:57 am
grannyrose
*giggle* you can bet on that honey. i am planning on don and i visiting a travel agent. want to pick their brains and get some idea of how to manage our trip over seas.
2:58 am
sprite
wonderful :D Now stop procrastinating and tell me your worrisome news.
3:01 am
grannyrose
okay. as i have told you before. the only thing stopping me from doing the unthinkable is just who would find me... and i would NEVER hurt my don that much.
3:02 am
sprite
very good, honey. He'd never recover from that. And please don't forget I really need you in my life as well.
3:02 am
sprite
however, I hear you. I know it is a tough, tough battle and some days it seems just too hard to keep going. But you will. And I will have your back all the way.
3:03 am
grannyrose
thanx my darling friend
3:04 am
sprite
also, sweetie, will you do me a favour? Promise me you will never keep things from me just to spare me. I am your friend. Please let me be that friend.
3:06 am
grannyrose
WTG SPRITE !!!
3:07 am
grannyrose
honey, i hate piling onto someone who has so much to deal with.
3:08 am
sprite
don't, in my case, rose. I want to be there for you, please let me do that.
3:08 am
grannyrose
okay sweetie. no more secrets. okay?
3:09 am
sprite
okay! :D *hugssss*
3:09 am
grannyrose
{{ hugsssss}}
3:10 am
sprite
on that note, I have to go. With lots of love and hugs, and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Be kind to yourself, darling. One day at a time.
3:10 am

Hello, Ruby :-)

AS 8/45 PT of a mixture of things say like chocolates.
4:22 am
zoozzoom
There is another AS 8/45 just change the fourth letter :-)
4:24 am
zoozzoom
There is a RE 8/50 which is a plural.
4:25 am
zoozzoom
Think I will go and get a bite to eat as I am rather peckish. Back later.
4:28 am
rubyfoo
You're never oeckish!
4:33 am
MollyL
I thought peckish meant hungry
4:34 am
rubyfoo
It does, but I think snappy goes with it
4:35 am
MollyL
Ah, thank you. I need a list of definitions for all the Brit terms that get used here.
: D
4:35 am
sandyloo
hi guys, hi ruby
4:35 am
rubyfoo
I could be wrong, not exactly a Brit!
4:36 am
rubyfoo
Hi Sandy! Did you receive my saga?
4:37 am
sandyloo
I sent you an email today we have just got a satellite dish on the roof for the internet so I am reborn - Was the saga you sent from a while ago?
4:38 am
rubyfoo
No, this AM, after I received your mail
4:38 am
rubyfoo
It's nice to have you back
4:38 am
sandyloo
ahh I will go and read it and thanks it's good to have internet that works at last
4:41 am
Frances
Morning. I'm a Brit and peckish has always meant hungry. Never heard of it meaning snappy.
4:42 am
rubyfoo
Mea culpa. I always connect being hungry with being craanky
4:42 am
rubyfoo
And hello, Frances
4:42 am
Frances
Hello ruby. How are you? Long time.
4:43 am
sandyloo
thanks for the info Ruby the three emails were very informative(LOL) I will reply soon
4:44 am
rubyfoo
I'm feeling well, thank you, Frances. And yoiu?
4:44 am
Frances
Oops! I am using my Mac. Should use my laptop with expert.
4:46 am
rubyfoo
Does anybody have stats or a clue for the 9?
4:46 am
Frances
In myself not too bad ruby. However, my knees are something else. Finding it increasingly difficult to get around.
4:46 am
MollyL
Interesting. After Ruby's comment I looked peckish up. Merriam Webster says "hungry, crotchety, slightly irritated or annoyed." Maybe irritable because of hungry.
4:46 am
MollyL
ki9...Hebrew prayers.
4:46 am
rubyfoo
Thanks, Molly!
4:48 am
MollyL
Being the Irish shiksa that I am, I use that word for a sound effect when a basket gets made in basketball.
: D
4:49 am
rubyfoo
Is sent Sandy's letter in 3 parts because this laptop is not reliable.
4:49 am
rubyfoo
I kept my 1st husband's last name so that people would thiçnk I was Irish
4:57 am
Frances
Molly, the only dictionary I use is the OED which has peckish as hungry.
4:58 am
rubyfoo
Do you actually have an OED in your house?
4:59 am
Frances
Yes I do ruby. Quite an old one.
5:00 am
sandyloo
I am so naive I do not know what an OED is??
5:02 am
rubyfoo
I'm impressed! I have one Merriam-Webster, rwo American Heritage, and 3 Petit Robert
5:02 am
rubyfoo
Oxford English Dictionary
5:03 am
rubyfoo
The Petit Robert is because my French is sometimes iffy
5:05 am
sandyloo
We have a huge Webster dictionary but I prefer the oxford
5:11 am
sandyloo
I have to go it is time for bed and midsommer murders
5:11 am
sandyloo
bye all have fun

Bye, I hope the murders are on TV and not in your house!

One. Found a book on Ann's dissertation topic. Perfect! Christmas, she opened the package. "Can I exchange this?"
"No...”
"Oh," she dropped the book.
Two. Made a Starbucks wreath; it took hours. Christmas, "I drink Peet's," sniffing and tossing it aside.
Three: Exchange gifts with Ann? Ha!

I've spent over a week trying to get a recipe from my older sister to put in my profile here (because M9 & others wanted it & I thought I had it but didn't). She's finally sent it to me; but then sent along 4 addendum because she forgot ingredients and directions!
10:40 am
Nef
Older sisters can be a pain, can't they?
10:41 am
MLFAN17

10:44 am
cybernan
lol - and you eat the stuff she bakes?
10:44 am

MLF, I think she was trying to show off, maybe. she has a photographic memory & loves to whip things off the top of her head. But now that she's nearly 70, her focus is getting fuzzy . ;-)
10:46 am

10:48 am
Nef
I'm not a baker, she has always prided herself in being a terrific cook & baker.
But even I know that that recipe wouldn't be right without flour!

Mr Bugs used to work in logging camps and flew in and out of the woods on a regular basis. One day he came out of camp and decided not to come home. He got on the next plane to somewhere. Too bad I can't remember where he ended up. It only happened once, long before he met me

sadly it is getting smalller every year because it needs to be watered constantly in the summer months. Just a dribble, but constantly. Now that we have water restrictions and can only water twice a week for 2 hours for the whole garden, it didn't even touch the roof this year
7:15 pm

not for me. welcome stid. Do you still have snow or is it melting like ours?

certain people can get prescriptions for medical stuff but it has to be grown by the government or some foolish thing. Our new PM is working on it. I love the medical value it has for so many things

years ago when you could still go to prison for having a joint, my lovely MIL came to visit me and her son when we were still users (before kids).

did it snow up your way today bugs? It was rather pleasant for us, but there are rumors of possible snow overnight, and again on Thurs-Fri.

8:53 pm
Bugsaw

8:54 pm
sandyloo
thanks LOL I should have got that from Stid's clue

8:55 pm
Bugsaw
I sure hope people don't fl*** their teets. . . sheesh

We had under four inches at our house last week, hoping the trend continues to be low accumulations until Grant's best friend gets home (he's been in Japan for two years) on Friday morning. After that, I will happily be snowed in!
8:57 pm
sandyloo
Well bugs, I only got it when you gave that clue- it must ring a bell for me! lol
8:57 pm
stidmama
this grid looks a bit of a stinker
8:57 pm
sandyloo
no snow here that's for sure
8:59 pm
Bugsaw
I asked Mr Bugs if we were old enough to consider buying a snowblower yet but he said no.
9:00 pm
Bugsaw
He is right. Our driveway is short enough
9:01 pm
stidmama
True -- and level. Makes it a little easier.
LOL Sandyloo! going into summer again, I think!
9:04 pm
stidmama
heading out... so glad you came back in while I was lurking, bugs! See you-all again soon I hope.
9:04 pm
Bugsaw
enjoy your time off stid
9:05 pm
Bugsaw
and hugs to all your family, please!
9:05 pm
sandyloo
and our driveway is about 1km long so its just as well we dont need a snow blower
9:07 pm
Bugsaw
sure is a good thing. if it snowed there you would park your car near the road and hoof it to the house.
9:08 pm
sandyloo
Actually when we moved here we had to do that in the winter as it was so wet and boggy that we bogged our cars - now we have buildt some roads
9:08 pm
sandyloo
Thank goodness for neighbours with tractors who pulled us out often enough

I like to visit snow, but I would have a hard time living with the logistics of it. And the cold. Brrrr. We think we're dying here when it is in the 20's C.
