good evening flosey, you are up late?
6:24 am
sprite

*hugs flosey*
6:25 am
flosey

not really, I did sleep but was wakened!!! so, what else does one do in that situation - but babble -so glad I didn't finish it last night
6:26 am
sprite

you are lucky then, with a grid this size :) Yesterdays was like a one-bite cracker... good, but far too small
6:26 am
sprite

yesterday's
6:27 am
flosey

guess it was time for a biggie!
6:27 am
sprite

indeed. Very enjoyable, I do have time today
6:28 am
flosey

lol - well, I do too, now!! but will catch up on sleep later
6:28 am
sprite

sounds like a plan. I was lucky, I had an early morning shift so I could sleep all night.
6:29 am
flosey

I don't think I could ever adjust to odd hours
6:30 am
sprite

it is not too bad. Two nightshifts, each 4 hours long. Either 11 pm - 3 am, or 3 am - 7 am. And one dayshift and one chat shift. The last one I can do at home.
6:30 am
sprite

this is monthly
6:32 am
flosey

ah, guess we can adjust to almost anything
6:32 am
sprite

yeah we can, and I am in the happy circumstance that I can usually plan my days around the nightshift free. Not too bad to be sleepy and able to lie down and nap :)
6:33 am
flosey

true, when necessary, I do believe we can adjust to almost anything
6:34 am
sprite

that is true. I wouldn't want to do something that taxed me too much, but this, I can do. It is nice to contribute to society even when on disability.
6:36 am
flosey

sorry Sprite, was not aware of disability - but obviously you handle things very well
6:37 am
sprite

have been for many years now. I try to live as best as I can and enjoy life too. Most of the time, it works :)
6:37 am
flosey

bless you my dear Sprite
6:38 am
sprite

thanks :)
6:39 am
godthaab

Sprite, what do you do that you only do for four hours?
6:40 am
sprite

hi godthaab! I work as a volunteer at the national help telephone line. I speak with people who are lonely and people who are suicidal, and everything in between.
6:41 am
godthaab

Very impressive!
6:41 am
flosey

I hadn't known that Sprite - but from what I've learned so far, I can just imagine how well you handle uncomfortable situations
6:42 am
sprite

it is usually not very hard to do. It just requires empathy and compassion. People are often judged or given lots of advice. Someone who really listens and does not judge can make a real difference
6:43 am
godthaab

I bet it is a very taxing job.
6:44 am
flosey

absolutely Sprite - but it does take a person who is able to listen and also hear what might not be told - and to be able to get people to open up to you
6:44 am
sprite

it can be. Some shifts really leave their mark. But usually I am just grateful to be allowed to hear people's stories. And let them know they are not alone and somebody cares.
6:45 am
flosey

from what I've seen and heard here, Sprite, you sound about perfect for the job
6:45 am
sprite

wow, that is a great compliment, thanks flosey :)
6:46 am
flosey

and bless you for being there for these folks
6:47 am
sprite

it's very rewarding work. And we get good support from the organisation too.
6:50 am
flosey

am sure it is Sprite - but, it does take a special person - one of considerable patience and caring - which is something that one recognizes in speaking with you
6:51 am
sprite

*blushing* thank you for saying that
6:53 am
flosey

am sure there are a good many folk you've helped who have appreciated your kindness and patience
6:54 am
sprite

I hope so. It is important to me that they feel listened to and heard. Most times, I cannot really help in any practical way. But being there for them often makes the difference. And trying to help them see their own way to the next step, that is important too.
6:55 am
flosey

I believe that must be at least half the battle - just getting things off their chest
6:56 am
sprite

9:01 am
moolingwa

tx for the clue ML
9:01 am
moolingwa

may very well be
9:02 am
moolingwa

Well it looks like it might be because people thought it was due to long exposure to the cold
9:02 am
MLFAN17

that wasn't a clue that was just :)
9:03 am

They are proffessionals, they are trained to do this
9:23 am

Since becoming a father, I'm not sure any amount of training would prepare me for that bich
9:28 am

Yes, non-cryptic clues work best.
10:10 am

which is ironic because most of the people were immigrants themselves -- their ancestors faced the same type of nationalistic racisim way back when
10:10 am
rururocks

well that sure is a short cut scrabs

Who know what to believe from the press any more.
1:05 pm
mael

Trump's own words: Reason I canceled my trip to London is that I am not a big fan of the Obama Administration having sold perhaps the best located and finest embassy in London for “peanuts,” only to build a new one in an off location for 1.2 billion dollars. Bad deal. Wanted me to cut ribbon-NO!
