12:24 am

12:25 am
origami

Wow - I remember that show.
12:26 am
Kamanjah

Hang in origami! I'm an hour south of you, looks like we're in for another good storm - and we just got a tree that fell last week removed off our house today.
12:26 am
melonheadjujube

A favorite MAD Magazine expression is in the grid and, yes, itis a word!
12:27 am
origami

Yikes Kamanjah! My neighbor has an old, wobbly oak that looms over my house. I worry about it in wet, windy weather.
12:28 am
Kamanjah

Hope it hangs on! Next door had one go down, and about 36 hours later, one of ours did. At least hers didn't hit her house, but it buried a trailer in the mud
12:30 am

It seems like the wind has died down a bit. Fingers crossed.

there... glass full, fan on, and don is putting the A/C back on. (don't ask why he turned it off. I DON'T KNOW ) {{{{sprite}}}}}} still warm here. but i now have a lot less here... not a buzz cut, but close. it feels delightfully light and airy.
1:41 am

*hugs rose* Hello my dear friend, wish I could send you some of our cold, lol
1:42 am

1:42 am

wish you could too..how are you sweetie? and how is Rob?
1:42 am
Kamanjah

haha sprite! {{{rose}}} {{{sprite}}}
1:42 am

{{{{{kam}}}}}} honey, lovely to see you too.
1:42 am
sprite

*hugs Kam* Hello dear one, how is the storm going? And the roof guy, what did he say and do?
1:44 am
Kamanjah

tree is off roof! Chimney pipe is heavily duct taped. Once the tree was gone, Michael saw damaged shingles - praying for no leaks.
1:45 am
grannyrose

praying for no leaks too. glad the extra woodwork has been removed. poor chimney..
1:45 am
sprite

rose, we are okay, but not great. Rob is going through a very rough patch at work, this week he has meetings with various people 3 days in a row. Monday social company nurse, yesterday the company doctor and today his rotten manager. He is asking for another manager to help him through his return to work. Doc and nurse both were in agreement this is the best way to go.
1:45 am
Kamanjah

We have no roof repair person yet, waiting to hear from insurance - they farm it out to an independent adjuster, so she has to send in her report, and I asked her for a copy. The guy at the company seems like a paper pusher only
1:45 am
sprite

praying for no leaks as well. Glad the tree is off, you must be breathing a little easier now.
1:46 am
Kamanjah

sorry to hear Rob is going thru a rough time at work, hope the folks on his side help him get it fixed the right way
1:46 am
sprite

I am just tired, running out of energy and needing to push on on willpower alone. Which I can do.
1:47 am
sprite

lol, Rob said to the company doctor he was looking into another form of therapy. Doc said: "If you ask me, you do not need therapy. You need another manager."
1:47 am
Kamanjah

Hang in and stay tough! You have so much on your plate right now
1:48 am
grannyrose

sprite, you are NOT alone. He is with yu, He will not give you anything you cannot bear or do, sweetheart. lean on Him.
1:48 am
sprite

yes we do, Kam, but the end is in sight and then things will calm down pretty abruptly. Two more weeks :)
1:48 am
grannyrose

and please tell me Rob has another person going with him to see that manager.

ugh true, rose... only... well... when He is measuring how broad my shoulders are for the cross He gives me to carry... I really wouldn't mind if He would be a little less exact!

I hope you get settled in to your trailer easily so you can take a well deserved break.

*small chuckle* i hear you honey.
1:50 am

nope, just him and the manager. We did a lot of preparing for this meeting. Which is happening in 10 mins, so if you could spare a quick prayer...
1:50 am
sprite

thanks Kam :) Am sure we will.
1:51 am
Kamanjah

Just put in a request for all to go smoothly for Rob.
1:51 am
sprite

basically, Rob is gonna listen to her, not talk much, and then tell her he wants another manager to take over. And if she asks why, which she will, he will tell her she lost his trust.
1:51 am
sprite

thanks, darlings, you are the best
1:58 am
grannyrose

the Big Guy is getting read to bless you and Rob in a major way... and Kam, He tells me the same for you and Michael...so sit back and enjoy the ride my darlings...
1:59 am
sprite

btw rose, yes, I should still have internet in the trailer. Tomorrow I should receive a modem that must give us 4G wifi wherever.
1:59 am
sprite

wow rose... that is good news. Thank you darling.
2:00 am
grannyrose

wow!! very nice...
2:01 am
Kamanjah

Hope so, Rose. Thanks for putting in the good words...we've had a run of, let's say...insurance claims...lately. It can stop now.
2:02 am
sprite

gonna empty out my room today. Will be a large stride in the right direction when that is done.
2:02 am
Kamanjah

I get my car back tomorrow!!!!! I hope I can't tell it was ever smashed. Over $13,000 USD to fix, wow
2:02 am
sprite

you sure have, Kam, poor darling. Time for the good times to arrive.
2:03 am
Kamanjah

YES!!!
2:03 am
sprite

omg Kam! Lol... our 'new' second hand car does not even cost that straight from the garage!
2:04 am
Kamanjah

Michael bought it for me for my birthday 2017 - my 1996 Honda died.
2:05 am
sprite

fixing is always crazy expensive. I hope the insurance covers it all
2:05 am
Kamanjah

Has less than 12,000 miles on it, poor thing
2:05 am
Kamanjah

They said they would - the lady who smashed into me has a commercial policy, and they can't *not* pay for the damage she caused
2:06 am
sprite

awesome. Fingers crossed the financial part will go smoothly.
2:07 am
Kamanjah

They contracted with the shop, I pick up the car, drop off the rental, and then we go hunt for a new chimney pipe...and grocery shopping with Michael...ugh...he's a "store wanderer"
2:08 am
sprite

I do not like stores. Grocery stores least of all. Fastest way through for me.
2:08 am
grannyrose

good news re the car kam. and lolll at Michael wandering off in the store.
2:09 am
Kamanjah

Well, the tree guys were here at 7:20 this morning...I have to get sleep. Tomorrow's adventures will be tiring.
I hope Rob's meeting is going well.
2:09 am
sprite

nowadays, we can scan our own groceries. I write out my list in the order of the store, scan while I go, put it all straight in my bags, and then pay at the selfservice checkout. Much much better.
2:09 am
grannyrose

sweetest of dreams dear kam. xoxox
2:09 am

sleep well, Kam, and sweet dreams. *hugs***
2:09 am

what a brilliant way to shop, sprite.
2:10 am
Kamanjah

Thanks! **Hugs!**
2:10 am

yes it is not good for the personnel, of course, but so much better for the customers.
2:11 am
sprite

so... no takers for my NTPN game? "name that proper noun: muppet grouch"
2:11 am
Kamanjah

Wow! Love that. We do have self-checkout registers here, but not in-store scanning. I'm sure it's coming soon. I would love it!
2:11 am
grannyrose

yes, i imagine that there would be fewer people employed.
2:13 am
sprite

that is the downside. Can't be stopped though. Our society will have to find other ways to manage employment, income and many other things in the near future.

If all goes as planned, today a lady will come and pick up one of our ceiling fans. Tomorrow somebody else should come for the other ceiling fan. And on Sunday, my antique vanity mirror should go.
2:27 am

Good morning, all. I have to ask my British friends if the following term is commonly used in the UK. It's a fragment from a statement by Boris Johnson: "parliamentary plottery and jiggerypokery".
7:42 am
Judi

This followed the Brexit vote yesterday.
7:44 am
doseffing

jiggerypokery .... think flim-flam ... think twisting things around into unnatural positions to make them work
7:44 am
Judi

And the proper noun is "Oscar".
7:45 am
doseffing

.... plottery ... I haven't heard ... but I can guess ... political manipulations in the background and out of sight ... with a hint of backstabbing
7:47 am
Haz1558

Jiggery-pokery is an acceptable term in UK.
7:47 am
Trifioso

hello friends
7:47 am

Well, I laughed out loud when I read it, dose. "jiggerypokery" is just a brilliant word.
7:48 am

Morning, trif.
7:48 am
BzznBea

I love the word too, judi.
7:48 am
Haz1558

Boris Johnson does have a way with words.
7:50 am
Trifioso

"jiggerypokery" is a FANTASTIC word!
7:51 am
Haz1558

It would get lots of babble points if enable accepted it.
7:52 am
Judi

It does seem to be wanting a hyphen.
7:55 am
doseffing

... Enable won't accept it so it most likely does take a hyphen ... but at a quick count it would be worth 300 points if it was taken ... I seem to remember whole grids that didn't have 300 points in then
7:55 am
Judi

Ooh. That would be a holy grail word.
