99 babbly words on the wall, 99 babble words

12:05 am

hurshy

if one of those words should happen to fall

12:05 am

hurshy

98 babbly words on the wall

12:05 am

Lizlin

:) - Hurshy, does daylight saving begin in the US tonight? If so I'l email Lickety.

12:05 am

hurshy

ugh, yes

12:06 am

Lizlin

No probs. I'll email him after the clues for this grid have been posted.

Clues are up

12:21 am

cybernan

ty lickety - daylight savings for the next one

12:23 am

KIMMYDEE

Gunt isn't a bankable word but cunt was a bankable word on the grid other day. I guess the world still just needs more time to adapt/adjust? ???

12:23 am

Lizlin

I've just emailed Lickety so hopefully he'll see that and adjust the timing on his program.

12:23 am

hurshy

what's gunt?

12:23 am

Lizlin

Then it'll have to happen again when Aus finishes daylight saving!

12:24 am

KIMMYDEE

google it hurshy

12:24 am

KIMMYDEE

chris christie

12:24 am

KIMMYDEE

google him in the baseball field

12:25 am

cybernan

I wish we could just abandon time changes altogether

12:25 am

melonheadjujube

hi, all. tx for Daylight Savings Reminder, cybernan. Monday will be no fun!

12:25 am

hurshy

i dunno if enable ever updates or how often if so or if they ever plan to or what

12:25 am

hurshy

and AMEN to that cnan

12:25 am

hurshy

i'd like to strangle whoever originally came up with this stupid idea

12:26 am

KIMMYDEE

wasn't it Hoover who came up with the time change?

12:27 am

KIMMYDEE

I could be wrong...

12:27 am

Lizlin

I wish we had Daylight Saving where I am. I don't like the fact that it's never light much after 7 pm.

12:28 am

hurshy

Germany did it first, during WWI

12:28 am

hurshy

then other countries

12:29 am

hurshy

although isolated pockets of canada had already been trying it

12:29 am

hurshy

a NZ scientist named George Hudson first proposed the idea in 1895, but he suggested a TWO hour shirt

12:29 am

hurshy

shift

12:30 am

hurshy

good heavens, what a monster

12:31 am

jwr

I think California is putting it up to the voters in the next major ballot - in June. Europe is a little further along. The Union already has a proposal out, I believe. Everyone has to agree however, before a change can be made. What a political bargaining chip that is@'

12:31 am

jwr

"it" is to dispense with the time changes, period.

12:31 am

hurshy

honestly, almost nothing makes me angrier

12:31 am

hurshy

i hate time change SO MUCH

12:32 am

hurshy

idk if CA is, i thought WA was

12:32 am

jwr

Yay West Coast!

12:32 am

cybernan

saskatchewan has never gone on DST

12:33 am

dizgrannie

hi all, tu 6/39

12:33 am

jwr

Just one more tough question for Brexiters

12:34 am

jwr

great greeting grannie!

12:34 am

hurshy

thank you very much diz

12:35 am

dizgrannie

oh and it is Mongolian money (I think)

12:35 am

Lizlin

Thanks for that.

12:35 am

hurshy

i feel rather fond of mongolia, for some odd reason

12:36 am

Lizlin

I'd never have found it without your hint :)

12:36 am

hurshy

me neither

12:36 am

hurshy

sitar

12:36 am

hurshy

oops sorry

12:36 am

KIMMYDEE

Roosevelt was who I was thinking of :( He's the one who really positioned the day light saving time on those in the U.S. Why did I think Hoover of all people :/

12:36 am

jwr

Mongolia doesn't have any time changes . . . .

12:37 am

hurshy

because Hoover was a dumbass

12:37 am

hurshy

just before the stock market crashed, Hoover said that we were super close to ending poverty in the US

12:37 am

KIMMYDEE

oh that

12:37 am

jwr

now now, hursh. gotta revere the dead presidents - we only blame the live ones.

12:38 am

hurshy

not on your life. polk, i could wring that man's neck

12:38 am

hurshy

jackson, grrrrr

12:38 am

jwr

boy hurshy you sure hold a grudge

12:38 am

broll

There was an article in the paper today. The bills that are being introduced are NOT to abolish DST, but to make it year-round. This is at national government level.

12:39 am

hurshy

we straight up STOLE half of mexico, and it just... stays. nobody's ever fixed it. and then we want to build a wall to keep them out of "our" country.

12:39 am

KIMMYDEE

It takes a bold person to lead a country. They will undoubtedly make mistakes.

12:39 am

jwr

Millard Fillmore was a role model for the ages, though.

12:39 am

jessmom

un7

12:39 am

hurshy

yeah, mistakes like lying and saying mexico had attacked us, so that we could start a war to steal land

12:40 am

hurshy

mistakes like the trail of tears

12:40 am

hurshy

those aren't "oops, i thought that would go well and it didn't" kinds of mistakes

12:40 am

hurshy

most of the history of the united states is a history of the bad guys winning

12:40 am

Lizlin

Lickety just emailed to say that he's changed his settings, so hopefully all will be good for the next grid.

12:42 am

KIMMYDEE

Hurshy - no one can change what happened there and then. I don't know what else to even say about that.

12:43 am

jwr

hurshy it's an unfortunate fact that by the time a politician gets to state level, he (or she) is already corrupted. It's a matter of owing people, favors if not money.

12:43 am

KIMMYDEE

I don't want to support more "bad guys" winning. But who your bad guys are and who my bad guys are could be completely different

12:43 am

hurshy

of course we can't. but the friggin least we could do is try to help with some of the resultant damage. alcoholism, violence, and suicide are rampant among native americans cause they've got such a crap deal. we don't do much about it.

12:43 am

jwr

Kimmydee, they rewrite the history books every day.

12:44 am

jwr

That is true hursh.

12:44 am

KIMMYDEE

I get that jwr

12:44 am

hurshy

the agent orange we dropped in vietnam is STILL causing babies to be born with the most bizarre deformities, but do we say, "oh we're so sorry, we will pay and help clean that up" - no - nothing - most people don't even KNOW that it's still a problem.

12:45 am

KIMMYDEE

Who is going to fix that one?

12:45 am

hurshy

nobody. nobody is going to fix it. that is the whole problem.

12:46 am

KIMMYDEE

I am super angry. But I have to focus myself on things that I think that I can fix

12:47 am

KIMMYDEE

Honest question. Do you think that anyone should bother voting?

12:47 am

hurshy

yeah, i mean, i get that. but i don't want us to be walking around thinking we're so great when we are basically the biggest bullies the world has ever seen.

12:48 am

KIMMYDEE

When you say US - do you mean you and I?

12:48 am

KIMMYDEE

I doubt it.

12:48 am

hurshy

i mean americans

12:48 am

jessmom

last word di7, good night all!

12:49 am

hurshy

i'm only a wannabe brit

12:49 am

KIMMYDEE

I meant that in a kind way

12:50 am

jwr

One of my favorite film festivals (I work most of them as a volunteer) is the American Indian FF. I was so startled to realize that that was what they called themselves and had never done otherwise. Renaming things and people to be polite, kind or modern is not a wise thing to do. Ask any of my black acquaintances what they think of African-American.

12:50 am

hurshy

well, britain and other countries were big bullies before we were. but at least they now recognize that that was bad.

12:50 am

KIMMYDEE

You and I does not = U.S.

12:51 am

hurshy

when it comes to voting, well, kimmy... i mean... at this point, voting is a bit... too late. with the supreme court as it is, and the ages of those justices on it, the US government is not going to be meaningfully changed anytime in the near future. and therefore climate change will not be stopped, and there will be suffering on an unprecedented scale, for the world's poor. it has already begun.

12:51 am

KIMMYDEE

the U.S. government does not wholly represent me or my feelings towards other countries and they may or may not know that.

12:51 am

jwr

Bye jess. was that fireworks or did you just give up? It's a silly grid.

12:52 am

hurshy

right, kimmy, i think people know that the US is polarized and they don't think we all agree with the gov't.

12:52 am

KIMMYDEE

well that's drab

12:52 am

sprite

good morning all

12:52 am

jwr

Truth in slogans: Think Globally; Act Locally!

12:53 am

jwr

Hey, how's the cast, girl?

12:53 am

sprite

it is half purple, half red :)
And being able to walk a little on it is a blessing.

12:53 am

KIMMYDEE

I really am trying to be positive.

12:54 am

jwr

Wait a minute, Sprite. Is that the cast or your LEG?

12:54 am

hurshy

when it comes to Indians, jwr - i told my students that the american indians were the result of the mistake of columbus thinking he'd reached india, and i also told them that many native americans use the term for themselves and are perfectly comfortable with it. and then one of my students whose heritage is from actual India said, well it may not bother them, but as an Indian, it bothers ME!

12:55 am

sprite

no, just the cast, no worries. My leg and foot are slowly returning to skin colour. Still purple toes, but not black anymore.

12:56 am

jwr

Good, sprite. Bad for Indian (would that be Indian-American?)

12:56 am

sprite

native-american indian of indian decent?

12:57 am

hurshy

positive thinking is necessary to avoid suicide. but when it comes to reality... if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

12:57 am

jwr

Messing with other peoples' names for themselves is not right.

12:57 am

jwr

Oooh Sprite, you have no idea what you just jumped in the middle of.

12:58 am

hurshy

and it all started with blasted DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME

12:58 am

hurshy

(this conversation, i mean)

12:58 am

sprite

*giggles* Well, to me, people are people first. Persons. Whatever their heritage, they deserve my respect. SImple as that.

12:58 am

jwr

I missed something,When did we start on "reality"

12:58 am

sprite

oh, wait, I am against daylight saving time. Very much. :D

12:59 am

sprite

reality is highly overrated

12:59 am

sprite

ks killed

12:59 am

hurshy

i mentioned the reality of climate change, and the reality that it is now not going to be stopped in any meaningful way, and that billions upon billions of poor will suffer and die.

12:59 am

jwr

Yeah. See? What is the Netherlands going to vote if the Euro Union brings it to a vote>'

1:00 am

sprite

no-one knows beforehand, lol

1:00 am

KIMMYDEE

no real change is coming from any f***ing vote.

1:01 am

hurshy

the 2016 election was pretty much the last chance

1:01 am

jwr

Ah, climate change. You mean those planetary alterations in the atmosphere that happen every thousand years or so that we have no control over> Wheere is my queestion mark/

1:01 am

hurshy

IF we could have gotten a better court, then we'd be set up for possible change. even that would probably have been too slow.

1:02 am

hurshy

yes, earth bounces back. earth will be fine. it's the people who happen to live on it i'm concerned about.

1:02 am

sprite

try control + shift, jwr. You may have switched keyboard configurations.

1:02 am

KIMMYDEE

Change can happen.

1:03 am

jwr

Nothing you can do but it's nothing to be depressed about either. Look at Sprite walking funny!!!

1:03 am

KIMMYDEE

We just won't see the results of it in our lifetime.

1:03 am

hurshy

billions of people dying is nothing to be depressed about?

1:03 am

sprite

*hobbles proudly through babble*

1:04 am

sprite

being depressed about things doesn't help either.

1:05 am

jwr

That was my point Kimmydee. It can and it does and it will go on doing so.. No, hurshy, it isn't. I spent three years in the interior villages of South India way back in the 60s to find that being depressed or feeling sorry for people helped no one, lease of all yourself. If you want to help, go do it.

1:06 am

grannyrose

cooee and g'day to all. {{{{{spritey}}}}}}

1:06 am

jwr

See See??? I found it Right under the little finger of my right hand.

1:06 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello my dearest friend. How are you and your beloved today?

1:07 am

sprite

very good, jwr, so proud of you :)

1:07 am

jwr

peace and love, kimmydee and hurshy. Hi rose. Bye All

1:07 am

hurshy

it doesn't HELP, in one sense. but there was a doctor who episode this year - Demons of the Punjab. there was a group of aliens who traveled time and space, as the doctor does. they had formerly been assassins but were reformed. and all they did was, they went to places were bad crap was going down. and they were witnesses. that's basically what it's about for me at this point. i'm not going to ignore it. i'm going to see it, and bear witness. i'm unfortunately not well equipped to help. so i feel bearing witness and seeing the reality is all i can offer the world.

1:07 am

grannyrose

we are better thanx. have been to church. felt so low i wanted to burrow back under this morning. made myself get up and glad that i did so.

1:08 am

KIMMYDEE

See you later jwr

1:09 am

sprite

aw sweetie, well done. What made you feel so low? Pain and the infusion wearing off?

1:09 am

sprite

Bye jwr, *hugs* and keep up the good work. With ??? and all.

1:09 am

grannyrose

you got it in one honey. close to tears most of the time. good news though. i have heard back from Els in Belgium.

1:10 am

sprite

oh wooooot that is wonderful. THough I am sorry about your pain. *healing vibes to your spirit and body*
What did Els say?

1:10 am

grannyrose

apparently her mum is 95 and going strong. i am hoping to pick up a few of the loose ends and knit them into the family tree.

1:11 am

sprite

on a side note: this is one odd grid

1:11 am

sprite

oh wow. Are you two gonna meet up while you are here?

1:12 am

grannyrose

you betcha. and i would love it if you were to tag along.

1:12 am

jwr

Last bit. hurshy - of course you're equipped to help. But not by being depressed worried anxious or impatient about it. Just pick the way you can help and will - this sounds strange but really -- enjoy it and you'll know when you're making a difference. Nobody needs pity. Except maybe those who are trying to finish this grid. Now "poof"

1:12 am

sprite

oh! Never thought of that. I'd like that. If I can travel, I will!

1:13 am

hurshy

i'm helping SOME people - as a teacher. but i'm not helping those who need the most help.

1:13 am

sprite

if all of us do our little part, hursh, the world as a whole benefits immensely.

1:14 am

grannyrose

for those of you watching this chat Els' grandfather was the brother of my grandfather. we have never met, and ntil 2 years ago didn't know each other existed.

1:14 am

hurshy

sure. but things being better than the worst they could be doesn't mean that on balance they're not still more bad than good.

1:15 am

hurshy

just ask the native americans.

1:15 am

sprite

btw, Rob will leave in the last week of May to Sweden for a canoe symposium. I have decided to stay put, first of all because he really needs some HIM-time, not having to worry about me or anything else. But also because you and Don may still be here then. I won't have a car that week, though.

1:16 am

grannyrose

hmmm, well we may have to hire one for a week, hopefully one which you can drive.

1:16 am

sprite

*smug* And I am the one that found her! Through sending letters to people with that specific name. Amazing how things sometimes work out.

1:16 am

KIMMYDEE

OMG - Hurshy - PLEASE stop being such a SJW!!!

1:17 am

KIMMYDEE

You cannot bleed for everyone.

1:17 am

sprite

am gonna exercise like mad once the cast comes off, honey, hopefully it will be enough so I will be allowed to drive by the time you arrive.

1:17 am

hurshy

labelling me as something is not an effective counter-argument.

1:18 am

grannyrose

hurshy, we have a saying, can you finish it? sticks and stones may break my bones.....

1:18 am

sprite

no labels, hursh, you are a great person with a big heart. I hear you and I kinda understand.

1:18 am

KIMMYDEE

I don't wish to argue with you.

1:18 am

sprite

well, words can hurt too. But only if we let them.

1:19 am

KIMMYDEE

Differences of opinions should be celebrated.

1:19 am

grannyrose

exactl sprit. and hurshy, with us by your side, those words are NEVER gonna hurt you.

1:20 am

sprite

true, but not by calling names, Kimmy. Babble is a community of very different people and that is a true blessing.

1:20 am

hurshy

they don't hurt me. they just don't do anything at all.

1:20 am

KIMMYDEE

I was not trying to offend. If someone finds the term Social Justice Warrior offensive that is on them.

1:20 am

grannyrose

good for you, hurshy. xoxox

1:21 am

hurshy

kimmy, that's a cop out. it's something you were begging me not to be, therefore, you clearly think of it as a negative.

1:21 am

KIMMYDEE

ok then

1:21 am

KIMMYDEE

you've got me

1:21 am

hurshy

i'm mot angry with you about it.

1:21 am

sprite

yes, it is in the way you use a label that it can become calling names.

1:22 am

hurshy

*not

1:22 am

KIMMYDEE

do you all need your safe spaces now?

1:22 am

KIMMYDEE

stop acting so offended

1:22 am

KIMMYDEE

if you have something to say - say it still

1:23 am

grannyrose

see sprite ??

1:24 am

hurshy

you're the one who seems to want a safe space, kimmy, where i don't mention the sad parts of reality.

1:24 am

sprite

I think we just did, kimmy. If you feel that is defensive, all good. We prefer our discussions to be respectful and without namecalling.

1:24 am

sprite

I see, honey

1:24 am

KIMMYDEE

I can handle reality just fine.

1:25 am

hurshy

then why ask me not to talk about it?

1:25 am

KIMMYDEE

I prefer to discuss reality, and I think that you do too Hurshy.

1:25 am

KIMMYDEE

I didn't ask you NOT to talk about it Hurshy.

1:26 am

hurshy

then what exactly did you mean by asking me to stop being an SJW, if not to stop pointing out all these negatives?

1:27 am

KIMMYDEE

Obviously, you can say whatever you like.

1:28 am

sprite

no way this grid has 99 words of which 3 are 7s.

1:29 am

hurshy

the human race has an odd conundrum at its heart. people do better by being optimists, under most circumstances. yet researchers have also found that pessimists are more realistic than optimists.

1:29 am

KIMMYDEE

good saying Hurshy

1:29 am

hurshy

the majority of the species are optimists. and it's better so. but i'm not one of them, unfortunately.

1:29 am

sprite

optimists believe we are living in the best world possible. Pessimists fear that is true.

1:30 am

KIMMYDEE

That's a bunch of horsesh*t Sprite.

1:30 am

hurshy

isn't that from Candide?

1:30 am

sprite

if you say so. I say it is a nice joke.

1:30 am

KIMMYDEE

But, as an optimist, I understand how you have to believe that that is true.

1:31 am

sprite

I think so, hursh

1:31 am

hurshy

Voltairian horseshit

1:31 am

REG

" If someone finds the term Social Justice Warrior offensive that is on them." No one uses this made up term unless they're trying to be insulting.

1:31 am

sprite

good manure for our babble garden, at least

1:32 am

grannyrose

a very close friend of mine is a pessimist. it doesn't matter what i say, she will argue black and blue that i am wrong. i love her dearly, and am glad she likes me enough to use me for a vent, knowing i am not going to judge her and allow her the right to say what she does,

1:33 am

sprite

hiya REG, indeed

1:33 am

hurshy

listen, for me, there are two main facts. one, i am a follower of Christ. who did bleed for everyone. two, i am a pessimist. i can and will mourn with those who mourn. i am not saying you need to do that, it's just what i'm choosing. but i also won't apologize for occasionally bursting optimists' bubbles with some tough realities.

1:34 am

sprite

you have the right to be who you are, hursh, without any doubt. And I for one love you the way you are.

1:34 am

hurshy

i'm a cassandra, no doubt about it

1:35 am

grannyrose

what sprite said hurshy xoxox as you know.

1:35 am

sprite

lol... hursh... I am.

1:35 am

hurshy

lol - that's right, i forgot!

1:35 am

sprite

:D

1:35 am

grannyrose

ooohhh, if you only knew how close you are hurshy.

1:35 am

KIMMYDEE

The term SJW word would only be considered offensive by certain individuals. Not sure why that was offensive to you.

1:35 am

hurshy

but i meant the greek myth one lol

1:36 am

sprite

she does, rose. We met, IRL, over tea.

1:36 am

grannyrose

and around we go AGAIN !!!

1:36 am

sprite

I know, hursh. And yeah, I think you are. Which can be rather frustrating.

1:36 am

KIMMYDEE

Conservatives find that offensive.

1:36 am

hurshy

i make up for my cassandra moments by being extremely silly and entertaining the rest of the time

1:36 am

sprite

no we are not, rose. It takes two to tango. So let's twist again... like we did last summer...

1:37 am

hurshy

sorry kimmy, i didn't follow. conservatives find what offensive?

1:37 am

sprite

silliness is bliss

1:37 am

grannyrose

okay... while you start, i'm off for another glas of sangria. *grin*

1:38 am

sprite

make sure you bring me one too, woman. No hogging the sangria!

1:39 am

sprite

phantom: partition

1:39 am

KIMMYDEE

You can't go off on a tangent about U.S. Native Americans out of the blue when the whole discussion started about daylight saving time and not be expected to be called a SJW.

1:40 am

sprite

wow, is that a law I didn't know about?

1:40 am

hurshy

it wasn't out of the blue, for me. you see, DST makes me irrationally angry. and when i feel angry, the neuronal pathways about other things that make me angry are more easily activated.

1:41 am

KIMMYDEE

scary

1:41 am

hurshy

that's how human brains operate.

1:41 am

sprite

*grins* now that I can relate to, hursh. DST does that to me too.

1:42 am

hurshy

and i don't object to being CALLED a social justice warrior. i only object to being told to stop being one.

1:42 am

grannyrose

i hate the way i lose a whole hour of sleep.... loll. sorry, i'm being facetious.

1:42 am

hurshy

if it was made up as an insult, i don't care. if i were to be a warrior of any sort, i can't think of much better to fight for than justice.

1:43 am

sprite

and that is the perfect summary of what we all have been saying.

1:44 am

grannyrose

love that word.... facetious.... all the vowels are in the correct order....

1:44 am

sprite

rose I hear ya! Having to wake up before I am done sleeping, having to eat before I am hungry, having to go to bed before I am sleepy. Whole system messed up.

1:44 am

KIMMYDEE

you can prop it up any way that you want.

1:44 am

sprite

so generous, kimmy!

1:44 am

grannyrose

it appeals to OCD....which i don't like... it should be CDO with the letters in the correct order

1:45 am

hurshy

your face has facets that are facetious

1:45 am

sprite

exactly, rose, was just thinking of that one.

1:45 am

grannyrose

*giggle* hurshy, now you got it...let's play

1:46 am

hurshy

i'm sorry, kimmy, once again i don't follow. "prop it up"? your pronoun's referent is unclear to me.

1:47 am

sprite

let's face it, unless we are face-to-face, it is hard to say when we are being facetious

1:47 am

KIMMYDEE

Does this make you all feel better?

1:47 am

grannyrose

oh lord.... lolll

1:47 am

hurshy

granny, you must like 'facetiously' even better!

1:49 am

KIMMYDEE

Clearly.

1:50 am

hurshy

kimmy - yes, being silly does make us feel better. you shouldn't take it as a reflection on the other stuff, though - we often have different threads of conversation running through the chat at the same time, and people weaving in and out of them. it's not that they are trying to make light of the more serious conversation.

1:50 am

sprite

exactly. We are multitasking. We are women hear us roarrrrrrr

1:50 am

grannyrose

rooooaaaarrrr

1:51 am

KIMMYDEE

Yeah - well U.S. national "woman's day" was Friday.

1:51 am

hurshy

i think it was international women's day, wasn't it?

1:52 am

sprite

actually, a bit of light play often helps to make hard truths go down a little easier. My final paper in my study was on the merits of humour when dealing with hard stuff.

1:52 am

hurshy

like shakespeare

1:52 am

sprite

he was a true master at it

1:53 am

3:19 am

grannyrose

3:22 am

KIMMYDEE

Someone asked me why I stopped playing this game. The reason is that it just really starts to bore me after a while.

3:22 am

grannyrose

*sigh*

3:22 am

KIMMYDEE

you too??

3:23 am

KIMMYDEE

so comforting.

3:23 am

KIMMYDEE

:)

3:23 am

grannyrose

how can i get bored with the spirited chat ?

3:23 am

sprite

never bored here

3:24 am

KIMMYDEE

Yeah Sprite - you're only still "hopped up" from the last thread.

3:25 am

grannyrose

i am a self-admitted wordaphile. i'm sure there is another word for that... lexincologist ?? perhaps

3:25 am

sprite

love it

3:26 am

sprite

sure kimmy, I am certain you are right

3:27 am

grannyrose

i told you before, i think, kimmy. sprite and i are friends in real life. coupled with a word game which we both like lot and you have entertainment in spades.

3:27 am

KIMMYDEE

it's so obvious, actually.

3:28 am

grannyrose

plus we both enjoy the ability to 'talk' in real time to places all over the world.

3:29 am

KIMMYDEE

Granny - I don't think that your relationships with anyone matter to me at all - no offense.

3:30 am

sprite

not gonna justify my love for this game or community, nor my incapacity for boredom

3:30 am

grannyrose

*shrugs* none taken

3:30 am

KIMMYDEE

cool

3:32 am

grannyrose

but then i have a thick skin and the tolerance level at the high end. the only time i have negatively reacted to anyone here was to a bully who delighted in belittling everyone, plus openly 'cutting and pasting' things said in private emails into this chat room.

3:34 am

KIMMYDEE

please do tell then Granny....

3:35 am

sprite

please don't, lolllll

3:35 am

grannyrose

oh no kimmy. not gonna do that. at the moment the bully is retired to it's corner.

3:36 am

KIMMYDEE

Sprite has claws as thick as a dragon

3:36 am

KIMMYDEE

and so do you Granny

3:37 am

sprite

cute

3:37 am

grannyrose

yup, have been called horny quite a lot...lolll

3:39 am

Kamanjah

Well, ladies! What is going on here?

3:40 am

sprite

*hugs Kam* nothing much, dear one, just a bit of labelling and namecalling

3:40 am

grannyrose

{{{{{{ KAM}}}}}}} how are you both? how is the dad-in-law doing?

3:40 am

Kamanjah

I just popped in, so I'll send some big hugs to my friends sprite and rose and say hello to kimmy

3:41 am

Kamanjah

Dad not answering phone :(
Probably forgot to charge it.

3:41 am

sprite

awww poor man

3:41 am

grannyrose

oh dear. that's hard. can you call the facility and ask them to jolt his memory?

3:41 am

sprite

brb, need to visit bathroom

3:42 am

grannyrose

mind you, i really shouldn't talk. i am constantly leaving my phone in THE handbag... you know... the one with an interior light.

3:43 am

Kamanjah

We're hoping he actually joined some activities...Michael's son will check in tomorrow.

3:45 am

KIMMYDEE

This stuff seems personal. Maybe email eachother instead of this? Test message maybe?

3:45 am

Kamanjah

My phone died today too...first time since it refused to reboot last month...fingers crossed that the charge wakes it back up without "extreme measures" - like buying a new phone!

3:46 am

Kamanjah

It's public chat, Kimmy

3:47 am

grannyrose

it should only need you to enter your password kam. i have to do that all the time.

3:47 am

KIMMYDEE

So, that means you want the response from the public?

3:48 am

Kamanjah

My phone is really old - last time it wouldn't boot, it took "extreme measures"

3:48 am

Kamanjah

Kimmy - I don't care if anyone responds, I'm chatting with sprite and rose

3:49 am

sprite

ouch Kam, that sucks :(

3:49 am

KIMMYDEE

Guess what - you are rude

3:49 am

KIMMYDEE

No - you are not just chatting with two people

3:49 am

sprite

nope, she is Kam.

3:50 am

sprite

who we love to see and chat with! :D

3:51 am

Kamanjah

I'm typing in a public chat. I don't care. Sprite and Rose are my friends, and we connect here usually. We're all on separate continents, and I'm lousy at checking email

3:51 am

grannyrose

well check your email please dearest kam

3:52 am

sprite

no need to justifiy anything, Kam. Not worth it.

3:52 am

KIMMYDEE

Kam - that is the worst excuse that I have heard in my entire life. LOL

3:52 am

Kamanjah

sprite - so happy to hear you can put weight on both feet! That was good news!

3:52 am

zoozzoom

Kam, If it is an old phone after a while the battery will not hold the charge.

3:53 am

grannyrose

and me kam? did you see that my 'cousin' in Belgium is going to meet up with me for the first time?

3:53 am

Kamanjah

Hi Zooz! I know...it's getting close to being a dead phone

3:53 am

grannyrose

ahhhh zooz... my main man... well second after Don. xoxox

3:54 am

Kamanjah

Rose, which cousin? I couldn't figure out who Fang is...I know I've been gone from chat this time of night for weeks...

3:54 am

zoozzoom

It will say 100% then 5 mins later it will be flat.

3:54 am

grannyrose

how are the parentsdear friend?

3:55 am

zoozzoom

About the same :-(

3:55 am

3:58 am

Kamanjah

enjoy dinner, dear Rose

3:58 am

KIMMYDEE

Granny - you have some Game of Thrones type sh*t happening in your life. It happens. No one wants to ever admit that.

3:59 am

zoozzoom

Nice, Sprite! You are healing fast!

4:00 am

sprite

oh yes. Am doing all I can to make sure I can get around when Rose and Don are here. I do exercises within my cast, lol.

4:01 am

zoozzoom

Good. I am sure with that determination it will happen!

4:01 am

Kamanjah

Sounds like you're healing really well - good news! I spent 6 weeks off my foot after surgery - Michael borrowed a wheelchair and we went to museums - we forgot the brake once and I almost rolled into the street - a palm tree stopped me, lol!

4:02 am

sprite

the plastermaster said people like me heal the fastest. Somehow the humour and optimism seems to mobilise good healing in bodies.

4:02 am

sprite

we have a wheelchair here too, must be in it in about 10 mins. But I intend to leave it behind in a week or two more!

4:02 am

Kamanjah

I love the "plastermaster" term - here the doctors put the casts on.

4:03 am

zoozzoom

lol oh dear, Kam!

4:03 am

sprite

they are called 'gipsverbandmeesters' here, which just happened to translate into this beautiful word plastermaster. They are doctors who specialise in casting

4:03 am

sprite

thank God for palm trees :)

4:04 am

zoozzoom

"Korf' a posh person saying cough.

4:04 am

Kamanjah

It was a beautiful tree! Kept me out of the road - gads, that was so funny - after I caught my breath

4:05 am

rururocks

A masterplaster sounds a little dirty to me

4:05 am

zoozzoom

lol

4:05 am

added it, zooz

4:05 am

sprite

hiya ru :)

4:06 am

zoozzoom

Cool!

4:07 am

rururocks

Masterplasters tend to cast off all the time

4:07 am

sprite

wth is a tu6?

4:07 am

KIMMYDEE

dialog is still a bit drab....

4:07 am

sprite

of course, a coin...'an aluminum-bronze or cupronickel coin and monetary unit of the Mongolian People's Republic, equal to 100 mongo.

4:07 am

KIMMYDEE

i am well overdue for sleep

4:08 am

sprite

don't let the door hit you on the way to bed, kimmy

4:08 am

zoozzoom

I only have the plural.

4:09 am

KIMMYDEE

you are too kind bunny

4:09 am

sprite

there is a tu6 singular too and it is a monetary unit. Need I say more? :D

4:09 am

sprite

I know. My besetting sin.

4:10 am

KIMMYDEE

I had a pet rabbit once.

4:10 am

4:10 am

KIMMYDEE

4:10 am

Kamanjah

Wishing you a lovely day, Sprite! *Hugs*

4:11 am

zoozzoom

Take care, Sprite! Good to talk to you.

4:18 am

KIMMYDEE

Did anyone hear that Hurshy is dead?

4:18 am

KIMMYDEE

I just got an email

4:21 am

KIMMYDEE

the email said that Hurshy was DEAD

4:26 am

KIMMYDEE

I did NOT murder Hurshy. If the glove don't fit you must acquit and I was with the bunny and the Sheep Person the entire time.

4:28 am

HatrickPatrick

What a hateful person you are, Kimmydee.

4:33 am

Hey, rbud! Good to see you!

For once the cats woke me up at a decent time.

6:55 am

more light?

6:56 am

sukee

Lighter in the morning, supposedly. Here it is dull and raining :)

6:57 am

rubyfoo

Since France is farther north than there, the long days are longer, but the short one are dark

6:58 am

rubyfoo

very dark!

6:58 am

I am ready for them to get rid of daylight savings time, it is not necessary.

7:00 am

I'll sign your petition, sukee

Exactly

7:07 am

sukee

Okay, i have 45 left to find. Break time.

7:09 am

MollyL

In the Spring, it is lighter longer at night here. At first.
Then it gradually becomes lighter in the morning.

7:11 am

MollyL

The only logical reason I have heard for maintaining daylight savings time is school kids. But it works to their disadvantage this time of year. It was already light at 6?30 AM. Now that we have adjusted the time, it will be dark again for about a month.

7:33 am

granadan

It was also brought in in UK as a response to cut use of fuel and candles for lighting. Why waste good sunlight.

7:33 am

granadan

tirn

7:34 am

sandr

actually granadan i believe it was brought in during the war for the farmers to have more time to harvest and plants crops.

7:37 am

MollyL

I know in the US it was originally intended for farm kids, so they could help with the crops before school started.

7:39 am

granadan

http://www.bbc.com/future/story/201603\n10-the-builder-who-changed-how-the-wor\nld-keeps-time

Maybe in US but over here it was a fuel issue. In 1947 with severe fuel shortages, it was even changed by 2 hours.

2:41 pm

Flask1

got that zooz

2:42 pm

Gillie

All the ro words start with the same three letters.

2:43 pm

zoozzoom

RO + ** be or not ** be.

2:44 pm

Flask1

am so sorry... it's 2 x ri's I need!

2:47 pm

zoozzoom

Ri + vowel + short word for thanks.

2:47 pm

zoozzoom

Plural.

2:49 pm

Flask1

Just found them thanks zooz....Fireworks for Flask....

2:50 pm

Flask1

So how are you Zooz?....and your parents, how are they?

2:52 pm

zoozzoom

I am okay parents are just about okay.

2:53 pm

Flask1

I haven't been on much lately

2:53 pm

zoozzoom

Thanks for asking. How are you doing?

2:54 pm

zoozzoom

Congrats on your fireworks!

2:54 pm

Flask1

Am ok....however am going thro' a bit of a dilemma with my life-style...

2:54 pm

Flask1

thankyou!

2:56 pm

zoozzoom

I there anyone close to you who you could confide for advice?

2:56 pm

zoozzoom

Is*

2:57 pm

zoozzoom

I think as we get

2:57 pm

Flask1

I do have family but but not really for talking to....

2:58 pm

Flask1

Nobody told us getting older could be so difficult

2:59 pm

zoozzoom

Older our bodies are not as good at doing what it used to so life style changes are in order.

3:00 pm

Flask1

I agree with you zooz....but doesn't make it any less painful....

3:01 pm

zoozzoom

Is it medical or home life style changes you are thinking?

3:01 pm

Flask1

Homestyle due to my disability

3:03 pm

Flask1

I have lived in this house for twenty years with the support of carers...

3:04 pm

Flask1

My carers got older at the same rate as me...and I only live in a wee town....so the pickings have been poor...

3:05 pm

zoozzoom

So you are looking for new carers?

3:06 pm

Flask1

This past year I have been depending on Agency carers...a different one every month and believe me its not been easy...

3:07 pm

Flask1

No am not....because I have a weight problem

3:08 pm

Flask1

people find itdifficult to manoeuvre me for personal care etc.,

3:08 pm

zoozzoom

Can your doctor not organize a bed hoist?

3:10 pm

zoozzoom

You could ask your doctor if he can recommend an organization that specialises in care for the heavier patients?

3:10 pm

Flask1

so I have decided to put myself in a home of some sort, but a home that deal entirely with physically disabled.....I do have an overhead hoist...but the carers I have been getting don't have the experience or are intimidated by it

3:12 pm

Flask1

Is this the right thing to be doing, I have no idea....I'm heart-broken thinking about it

3:12 pm

zoozzoom

So they do not have the experience. That sucks.

3:13 pm

Flask1

Most of them have been African....and the language difference can be difference....

3:14 pm

Flask1

They are the cheapest agency going....I can't get any more money...

3:15 pm

zoozzoom

((Flask)) Discuss it with your doctor. I bet he/she could give you advice about how to go about it. And might have simpler ideas that could work for you.

3:16 pm

zoozzoom

If you have a disability then surely the nhs pays for it?

3:16 pm

Flask1

I do have a meeting with my Social Worker on Tuesday afternoon...so am hoping/praying that she can come up with something else

3:18 pm

Flask1

Yes I am severely disabled..polio..and Post Polio Syndrome....but the SW purse strings are VERY tight

3:18 pm

zoozzoom

I so hope so, Flask. Do not be afraid to ask questions and for things you would like to be done.

3:19 pm

Flask1

Thanks Zooz for listening to me.....

3:19 pm

zoozzoom

Take a tip from me, Flask . If you do not make a fuss then you will get nothing.

3:21 pm

zoozzoom

Make a fuss and tell them things need to change you want and deserve a better quality of life.

3:21 pm

Flask1

Yes I know,.....but I have found it difficult all my life to stick up for myself....not a great quality, I know

3:22 pm

zoozzoom

I hear you, Flask. But like you said things need to be better than they are now.

3:23 pm

Flask1

True!

3:24 pm

zoozzoom
