12:46 am

sammysmom

we had a birthday party for number one daughter.. she is 61. umber two dauighter and she were the same age uintil today.

12:47 am

grannyrose

wow! how on earth did you manage that? you are some woman you know. it would have been almost like having twins.

12:48 am

sammysmom

i also learned today( after all these years,) that when siblings are less than a year apart, they are called irish twins.. anyone ever hear of that?

12:48 am

hurshy

yes, i have

12:49 am

sammysmom

i was only 18 when i had the first one an when i had the second a figures ouir what cauised it.. the next kid took 10m years.. by then the fiorst was able to baby ist/

12:50 am

sammysmom

baby sit my younger two are 50 and 4\8

12:51 am

hurshy

ok, i have to clarify here. are you saying you had two children before you found out that sex makes babies?

12:51 am

grannyrose

and i bet you can still remember being 60 and 61. that's the scary part. remembering youself at the same age as your child.

12:52 am

sammysmom

i was a very aive yong lady an had no sex education growing up.. those things were not discussed in my house.

12:52 am

dizgrannie

12:53 am

12:53 am

hurshy

wow. that was... let me see... late 50s?

12:53 am

grannyrose

WTG DIZ!!!!

12:53 am

sammysmom

you an bet that my children KNEW.. i told them in plain english and street language so there was no mistaking the facts and the ways of reproduction

12:54 am

dfmchfhf

conga-rats you two!

12:54 am

sammysmom

yup hursh.

12:54 am

hurshy

yeah, you're about a decade younger than my grandmother, who gave birth to ten children and commented to my sister, who seemed to be stopping after two, "you seem to have something figured out that i didn't"

12:55 am

sammysmom

meant so say i was naive

12:55 am

grannyrose

i have to tell you peeps. my mum was in her 80;s wh4 i had to tell her that female have THREE holes down there. i rally don't know where she thought babies came out. and she had 6 of them.

12:56 am

sammysmom

i understand

12:56 am

dfmchfhf

well, if you aren't taught these things they're not really that obvious? it's not really naivete

12:57 am

sammysmom

when i was in my 30 s and asked my mother why she never tol me the facts of life, she said that she still could not talk about it.. she learned the hard way too

12:57 am

hurshy

it's quite enraging, as a "modern" woman, to hear these stories of how it was for you

12:57 am

grannyrose

exactly df. and it's such a shame too... although being part of a biggish family was fun.

12:58 am

grannyrose

can you imagine my poor mother after asking the question... who did whatever? and all the kids ointing to all the other kids. she never did work out who dunnit..... loll

12:59 am

grannyrose

*pointing*

1:00 am

dfmchfhf

and to think today's generation might be encountering the same type of first-hand discovery soon, with parents being overprotective about sex ed and it being removed from many curricula (coupled with the parents who expect it to be taught and so never themselves teach it)

1:01 am

hurshy

si7

1:01 am

grannyrose

really df? over here we are having a right royal battle trying to keep the age for that information in the te5. the government wants it taught to 5 year olds.

1:02 am

hurshy

apparently in the netherlands they teach it from quite a young age, and it works well. low teen pregnancy rates, happy relationships...

1:03 am

hurshy

obviously they adjust what and how they teach the info by age group

1:03 am

grannyrose

but at five, hurshy? even todays kids are so innocent at 5.

1:04 am

sammysmom

my girls ha an easier time of it and my grand daughters did even better. no 12 grand was 30 an married 6 years before her first.. no 2 grand is 28 and just announced last week. ( the australian traveler) number 3 was 230 when she had her first and son walter 11 says he will never make babies.

1:04 am

hurshy

in the video i watched, it did not appear to make them any less innocent.

1:05 am

grannyrose

lolll at son 11... wait til 13....his point of view will change dramatically....

1:05 am

sammysmom

20 that is. walter's fiance passed away about 3 months before they were to be married.

1:05 am

hurshy

the thing is, you tell things to a five year old, and it's just information to them. like, my (other) grandmother had a stroke, and my ne6 was very young at the time. and i was explaining what had happened to him. it wasn't scary, he wasn't upset, it was just facts. no concept of mortality, no concept of how awful it is to be incapacitated and stuff. just, ok, this is what happened.

1:06 am

grannyrose

oh smom that is so sad.

1:06 am

grannyrose

i guess so hurshy.

1:06 am

hurshy

people think that the facts are "not innocent" but the reality is, i think, that it's only the facts *when combined with an adult understanding* that are intense.

1:06 am

dfmchfhf

especially unfortunate :(

1:07 am

hurshy

after all, dogs are still "innocent" after they have puppies. sex isn't "dirty" to them :)

1:07 am

hurshy

just natural

1:07 am

sammysmom

that was 18 years ago an he never wanted to be that vulnerable again an with 3 sisters and 3 neices and a nephew and 3 grand neices and a grand nephew.. he says that is enough kids in th family

1:09 am

grannyrose

too sad smom. i hope one day he will feel otherwise. or not... if that's the way he wants it.

1:09 am

hurshy

where does he live?

1:10 am

grannyrose

smom, would you mind if i prayed for his healing?

1:12 am

sammysmom

he is here with me// he moved back in when my husband ha his heart attack and surgery and spet 11 years taking care of his dad.. ( gave up his job as a chef to do it). ow he is taking care of me.. i am encouraging his to go back in the b\usiness

1:15 am

grannyrose

what an amazing man smom. you must be very proud of him.

1:15 am

sammysmom

i wpuld be grateful rose. he -we have been having a rough timer these past years. hubby ied last feb..no 1 daughter is quite ill an he helps her also while taking are mewith my infirmities. also our 17 year old cat ( chuckie died last week and that was traumatic

1:16 am

grannyrose

i understand smom.

1:17 am

sammysmom

hubbie died in walters arm and so did chuckie.. walter is a good man an i hope that he will marry

1:17 am

sammysmom

his girl friend will like it too

1:20 am

grannyrose

ah.. there is a beautiful woman for him. and i truly understand his reluctance to give his heart totally ever again. let's have him healed first.... then everything will fall into place.

1:21 am

sammysmom

wow.. what a blabbermouth i have been tonight ... sorry

1:21 am

grannyrose

smom... it's okay... part of a babbler's job description. have willing ears to listen.

1:23 am

sammysmom

finaloy got potting soil so i will start seeds tomorrow.. kin of late but i think thy will do ok

1:23 am

grannyrose

nice. what are you planting?

1:24 am

sammysmom

thank you trose and hursh and all who have been patient with me ( feels like i have shed a few years this eveing)

1:24 am

grannyrose

1:25 am

dfmchfhf

don't be sorry - it was so nice of you to share :)

1:25 am

grannyrose

what df said...ditto

1:26 am

sammysmom

tomatoes peppers cukes.. squashes.. eggplants ..cabbage..onions.. raishes an parsley, sage an other stuff. thank goodness i have lots andf lots of large pots

1:26 am

grannyrose

wow !! you rock smom

1:27 am

grannyrose

we planted out tomatoes for the first time in ages. i had forgotten just how yummy they are picked straight off the vine.

1:28 am

sammysmom

i have bees saving egg shells in their cartons an have lots of peat pots on ol cookie trays all reay for the bi "planting"

1:28 am

grannyrose

*giggle* well that will keep you off the streets for a while...

1:29 am

sammysmom

yup i like resh tomatoes too. oing beefsteak, italian plum and cherry

1:29 am

sammysmom

yep, the neighbors hubcaps are safe

1:30 am

grannyrose

hmmmm. haven't heard of the first two. apart from cherries, we planted gross lisse and heritage. heritage are an old type from before all the selective breeding. full of flesh.

1:31 am

grannyrose

we had to plant marigolds with the heritage as they have no 'resistance' to bugs.

1:33 am

sammysmom

sounds good... i do marigols too, an mint in pots to discourage th deer.

1:33 am

grannyrose

lolll... wonder if that works for possoms...we don't have a lot of wild deer.

1:35 am

dfmchfhf

marigolds and mint, *takes notes*

1:35 am

grannyrose

i have found out that if you spray around your plants with Scat or Deter the possoms and cockatoos will leave the plants alone.

1:35 am

sammysmom

i live in the burbs an we have huge herds of them an i hate them. can t afford to fence to keep therm out

1:37 am

grannyrose

the cockies drive my insane. they are so mischievous. i had one which ripped my daffodils off at ground level, th4 ripped the flower off as well. i could have smacked them.

1:37 am

sammysmom

we now have coyotes and foxes in the area also along with possoms and racs and rabbits

1:38 am

sammysmom

cockies ??

1:38 am

grannyrose

good grief! it sounds like you live in a zoo.

1:38 am

grannyrose

cockatoos, sulphur-crested.

1:38 am

dfmchfhf

the squirrels do the same here in canada... rip flowers off the stem, tear the stem apart, and sometimes even dig the roots up for good measure

1:39 am

sammysmom

cacatoos...

1:39 am

grannyrose

how sweet of them, df. loll

1:40 am

sammysmom

it feels like it.. walter feeds severakl neighborhood cats ad ther is i opossum who gets up on the porch an helps himself too an a few squirrels and yes,.. rabbits will eat catfood

1:41 am

grannyrose

roflolll smom...

1:42 am

sammysmom

i have a bb gun but that woul not be fair since walter feeds the damned varmints

1:43 am

grannyrose

my next door neighbour used to feed the wild cockatoos until she realised the wretches would fly over to our house, and sit on the roof, removing the cement between the roof tiles.

1:44 am

sammysmom

are cockatoos edible??

1:45 am

grannyrose

we found out that cockatoos don't like our magpies. so we bought wooden magpie whose wings spin in even the lightest of breezes. no more problems.

1:45 am

sammysmom

nice!!

1:46 am

grannyrose

not sure smom. i would have to ask one of our indigenous folk. as far as i know, cockatoo is not on any menu i have seen. kangaroo and emu, not cockatoo.

1:47 am

grannyrose

and no.... i have not tried their meat.

1:49 am

grannyrose

i simply cannot bring myself to eat a native animal. weird, probably. but that's me.... weird and weirder... loll

1:50 am

sammysmom

i ha a friend from the south who used to tell me about eating squirrels, possoms and rabbits wish i couil get in touch. i our burb you cannot kill them, nor the deer. however i think some folks aroun here are getting fedup with that.. tings might get interesting this year

1:51 am

grannyrose

*giggle* keep me in the loop smom. it should be mighty interesting.

1:52 am

sammysmom

i grew up in the north an we had venison quite often, but i would not trust it from here....... these deer are not wild.. to many people feed them and i woul not be surprised if they were diseased

1:52 am

sprite

good morning all

1:52 am

grannyrose

and thanx to the babblers for allowing smom and i to have free hand with the chat. you all are lovely people. smom?? i should go and do something constructive around here. xoxox

1:53 am

sammysmom

1:56 am

sprite

1:56 am

dfmchfhf

hiiiii sprite!

1:56 am

sprite

hiya dfm! How are you doing today?

1:57 am

grannyrose

still enjoying my alone time honey. haven't se4 himself for over 10 hours. i did walk around to the nail technician and had my nails done. i rested 4 times going and 4 times coming back.

1:58 am

dfmchfhf

existent, a bit distracted, not much else though, how are you?

1:58 am

sprite

are your nails gorgeous now again?

1:59 am

sprite

glad you exist, dmf ;) Hope the distractions are not too bad. I am doing well. Every day seems to bring more healing. At least that is how it feels.

1:59 am

grannyrose

yup, deep purple except for ring fingers which are blue and pink glitter which gives a sort of purplish look to them.

1:59 am

sprite

oh wow, sounds lovely

2:01 am

grannyrose

yeah, i like it. df, distracted honey? do tell.

2:01 am

dfmchfhf

healingeder is a good state to be in sprite :)

2:02 am

sprite

I couldn't agree morederder!

2:03 am

dfmchfhf

having to deal with things that have piled up since taking the second trip to europe in february... like taxes, and paying off all the card purchases, and finding errors and having to figure out who to call and how to resolve everything!

2:03 am

grannyrose

hey sprite... that's something we can do. et our nails done together. find a technician for us.

2:03 am

grannyrose

ugh df.... that sound ghastly.

2:04 am

sprite

okay, will try, honey. I need one that works with polygel. But I already have an idea.

2:04 am

dfmchfhf

it's a small price to pay for a mostly carefree month wandering europe though :)

2:04 am

grannyrose

ask sprite... we both HATE paperwork of any sort.

2:04 am

sprite

ugh dfm, those are things that would reduce me to tears. Taxes scare me.

2:05 am

grannyrose

yay df. it is a wonderful piece of our planet isn't it?

2:06 am

dfmchfhf

yes, all the culture and history, and everything so close together, also functional public transportation... compared to north america

2:07 am

sprite

added it to our to-do list, rose

2:10 am

sprite

we could also do a day of driving through the country, rose, if you and Don would like that. We could set out a nice touristic route and enjoy the netherlands from the car, in comfort.

2:11 am

grannyrose

too true df. i loved using the public transportation. and everyone was so well mannered. stood up immediately to give me a seat. and also steadied me if the bus etc took off to quickly. i had no fears.

2:12 am

grannyrose

sprite that sounds wonderful.

2:12 am

sprite

okay, adding it to our list of options :)

2:14 am

grannyrose

and df... every time you turned around there was a new thing to see. for us it was like walking through our history books. just amazing.

2:15 am

sprite

Rob also had a good idea. To visit one of our musea on old dutch crafts. They are re-enacted by people. It is fun.

2:17 am

grannyrose

sounds good too.

2:17 am

grannyrose

uh oh... motorcycle in drive. my day is over.

2:17 am

grannyrose

he will have lots to say.

2:17 am

sprite

added it.

2:18 am

grannyrose

i had better let him let it all out. xoxox

2:18 am

sprite

roflolollllll enjoy honey

2:19 am

grannyrose

luvsya sprite. hugs to you both and df too.

2:19 am

sprite

*hugs* to the both of you, rose. Have a grand evening with the Donster.

2:20 am

sprite

Rob says hi too

2:25 am

sprite

it is so much fun to plan Rose's visit, dmf! Am making a list (checking it twice) and we will pick and choose what to do when while they are here.

2:26 am

sprite

phantom: hectic

2:26 am

dfmchfhf

hope you two have fun together! when will she be arriving?

2:27 am

sprite

First of May, I believe. Wait, I can see exactly when

2:28 am

sprite

yes, May 1st at 13.15 hours (1.15 pm)

2:30 am

dfmchfhf

that'll be after you expect to be out of your cast, right?

2:31 am

sprite

absolutely. April 2 the cast comes off and I will see the surgeon. He will decide whether it has healed enough to stay out of the cast. I have faith. Once I am allowed to exercise without cast, I am on my way to full recovery. Though doc said it will take 6 months... but miracles do happen and I have faith they are happening right now.

2:33 am

sprite

pe

2:33 am

sprite

sorry about that

2:34 am

dfmchfhf

absolutely have faith in you too, sounds like you'll be ready to have a great time with rose when she arrives!

2:36 am

sprite

that, we will have, even if I am still in a wheelchair. But I will do my darnestest (nifty use of babble word!) to be mobile by then. Hopefully able to drive, at least with automatic transmission, but if possible with our own car.

2:39 am

sprite

I believe it should be darnedest, now that I re-read it

2:40 am

dfmchfhf

both amsterdam and rotterdam were beautiful and very unique, lots to see even within the city - kind of want to make the netherlands a stop for europe trip 3 (whenever that will happen) to see more too

2:41 am

sprite

oh please do, dfm, and if you do, please let me know... we could meet up for a coffee or lunch or dinner, if you like!

2:42 am

sprite

phantom: serpent

2:46 am

dfmchfhf

where do you suggest to visit next trip? was considering either Den Haag (more city?) and/or visiting Utrecht or Arnhem... will likely pair it with going to SPIEL again in Essen in october, some year

2:48 am

sprite

Arnhem is interesting, especially if you are interested in WWII. Den Haag is beautiful.
Very different would be a visit to Giethoorn (our Little Venice). Or where I will take Rose and Don too, the Open Air Museum in Enkhuizen (Openluchtmuseum) which shows some of our history re-enacted by real people.

2:53 am

dfmchfhf

will keep those in mind and consider them too! sounds very interesting

2:54 am

sprite

great :)

2:54 am

my email is at the bottom of my profile. If you want, you can drop me a line with any questions and I will try to help.

3:14 am

zoozzoom

Excellent! Although he must be fed up with the constant brexit talk shambles every time he turns the TV on lol

3:15 am

sprite

he does not have a tv and I doubt he is actively seeking it out on his laptop. It is a depressing item for sure.

3:16 am

zoozzoom

Oh good for him.

3:16 am

fireflies. Dear zooz and dfm, a big *hug* to you.
To all, a blessed day and a peaceful night.

wvteach

10:53 am

bichon

pl for the ps 7, impossible to clue

10:55 am

Haz1558

ps7 - ps plus the part of the body that contains heart and lungs, but replace the s with another consonant. The last three letters are mixed up number after nine.

10:55 am

bichon

that was great Haz

10:56 am

Haz1558

Not the easiest to clue, you're right. Hope it works for wvteach.

10:58 am

mixi6

ty haz.

10:58 am

wvteach

still looking

10:58 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, mixi.

10:59 am

marksdolly

okay, so I'm hung up on that CE8, any help. please and ty?

10:59 am

Haz1558

wv, if you did the grid yesterday, the ps7 and 8 appeared.

11:00 am

Haz1558

ce8 - a unit of currency for four, follow by most of the fiddling emperor (think Rome) and make it plural.

11:06 am

mixi6

ty again

11:06 am

Haz1558

You're welcome.

11:09 am

marksdolly

I'm not catching that CE 8 Hazel..

11:10 am

marksdolly

nm I got it!! thank you so much!

11:10 am

Haz1558

Okay, it's a plural for ce7/42. The first four are ce4/5, the money, follow that by the opposite of far, but take out a vowel.

11:10 am

Haz1558

Great, glad you got it.

11:11 am

72 Temple Owl

haz

11:11 am

Haz1558

TO.

11:12 am

72 Temple Owl

your icon?

11:12 am

Haz1558

How are you? I should have acknowledged your e-mail.

11:12 am

72 Temple Owl

Sorry, actually avatar, i guess.

11:12 am

72 Temple Owl

whatever. :)

11:12 am

Haz1558

Oh, my icon is my grandmother.

11:12 am

72 Temple Owl

what a lovely picture.

11:13 am

Haz1558

I think the photo was taken in the 1920s when she was a young woman. I never knew her, she died in 1938.

11:13 am

Haz1558

I was thrilled to have it passed on by a cousin, I had never known what she looked like.

11:14 am

72 Temple Owl

on which side?

11:14 am

Haz1558

On my father's side.

11:14 am

Haz1558

It was a sad story, she died leaving 3 boys, 14, 12 and 6. My dad was the 12 year old.

11:14 am

72 Temple Owl

ah. and have you received any emails lately?

11:15 am

wvteach

haz- finally got it - thnx - did yesterdays grid but don't remember anything from it

11:15 am

Haz1558

Glad you got it, wv.

11:16 am

72 Temple Owl

pardon me, i am chatting and doing something else. not doing justice to either. so i'll just chat.

11:16 am

Haz1558

Yes, I got one from you the other day, TO. Haven't checked my emails today.

11:16 am

72 Temple Owl

that cartoon combo would drive many people mad.

11:17 am

Deeha

Haz I have a similar picture of my mother. She died when my twin and I were 7. I didnt know any pictures of her existed but my elder sister had a couple of her as a young girl

11:18 am

Haz1558

Deeha, it was so strange to see her at last. I knew what my grandfather looked like, but somehow just had never seen her. There are a few that have been passed on now, only one existing with the whole family together.

11:18 am

72 Temple Owl

i have a papaer photo and do no know who they are. it's crumbling. no one really to pass it to.

11:20 am

72 Temple Owl

other hald not interested in father's side of the family.

11:20 am

Haz1558

TO, it may be possible to get it restored by an expert. At least then you might be able to frame it for your own pleasure.

11:20 am

72 Temple Owl

has a lovely oval frame

11:21 am

Deeha

when we were little there was a largecsepia coloured pictures of my grandparents over the mantelpiece. I didnt see it again for years. I was in my 50's before I saw it again. I was SO shocked. I thought that fat old lady is ME!!!!!

11:21 am

72 Temple Owl

i am not sure if it would be repaired or copied.

11:21 am

Haz1558

The only thing about older photographs is that they all look so solemn.

11:21 am

72 Temple Owl

oh dee!

11:21 am

Haz1558

It's amazing to see family resemblances jump out at you.

11:21 am

72 Temple Owl

i look in the mirror and see my mother every day.

11:21 am

Haz1558

My cousin (10 years older than me) is rapidly turning into my great aunt. I haven't told her.

11:22 am

72 Temple Owl

and all of my life i thought i looked like my father's side

11:22 am

72 Temple Owl

good move, haz.

11:22 am

Haz1558

And my uncle, as he aged, became like the previous generation. It's a bit spooky sometimes.

11:23 am

Haz1558

No, some thoughts are best left unspoken...

11:23 am

72 Temple Owl

we just buried my uncle tuesday. mother's side. only two and one aunt left. all in their 80s.

11:24 am

Haz1558

I'm sorry to hear that, TO. It's nice to have an older generation, mine are rapidly diminishing.

11:24 am

72 Temple Owl

my bro's MIL said your children come out looking not so much like someone as like someone familiar, whom you should know. i found that an interesting take.

11:25 am

72 Temple Owl

so we say he has his mother's eyes, etc as we struggle to recall

11:25 am

72 Temple Owl

thank you , haz.

11:25 am

Haz1558

Yes, you know they have a familiar look - literally the family appearance.

11:26 am

72 Temple Owl

lol i am sure m SIL thinks they all look like her side. she is something!

11:27 am

bojazz

the death of one diminishes everyone, for we are all part of the main...

11:27 am

Haz1558

Is she a bit trying to deal with?

11:28 am

72 Temple Owl

she's a different generation, being 16 years younger.

11:29 am

72 Temple Owl

and very different. teaches elementary school, and explains everything in minute detail. i am not a detail person.

11:30 am

Haz1558

I've remained close to my cousins on my mother's side more than on the paternal side. We meet up to ensure that we keep in touch, it's too easy to drift apart.

11:30 am

72 Temple Owl

our faomily was perhaps too big to survive intact. it broke into little sect by parents.

11:31 am

Haz1558

The cousin who passed on the photo is on my father's side but an afternoon spent in her company is ... monologue delivered in excruciating, slow detail.

11:31 am

72 Temple Owl

no feud, no rifts, just drifts

11:32 am

Haz1558

Yes, drifting without intending to, no malice, just no longer part of your world.

11:32 am

72 Temple Owl

there were photos taken at the event, with those in attendance. i am awaiting them.

11:34 am

Deeha

I have lost a wiondeful brother and an amazing funny sister both of which I miss terribly. I hve two other siblings unfortunately one is in US and the other in S Africe. The brother in US is now 92!!

11:34 am

Haz1558

It'll be a good reminder of the occasion. One of the disadvantages of taking digital photos is that you don't print them out. So lots of photos taken, not so many survive in printed form for future generations.

11:35 am

Haz1558

Is there any prospect of visiting him, Deeha? Having scattered family must be difficult.

11:35 am

72 Temple Owl

dee, my uncle was recounting his trip to adelaide to meet my grandfather's sisters clan. a whole bunch of them there. i was a bit jealous.

11:36 am

72 Temple Owl

wow dee, hless him!

11:36 am

72 Temple Owl

the others are in france

11:37 am

Haz1558

I've often thought how difficult it must have been in the days when people emigrated far away, not knowing if they'd ever see loved ones again.

11:37 am

Deeha

saw him last year but finance prohibits visits now

11:38 am

Haz1558

Is he in reasonable health?

11:40 am

Deeha

he is s fit as a butchers dog!! Still dows his 10 mile walks in the rockies!!

11:41 am

72 Temple Owl

good for him! and i love that expression!

11:41 am

Haz1558

How amazing! It's great he's kept himself fit.

11:45 am

Haz1558

Okay, time for me to do other things. Enjoy this nice grid. Bye for now!

11:48 am

72 Temple Owl

like nerts? I keep thinking nert should work, but nooooo...

6:53 pm

rbud

yay, done! laters, all

7:09 pm

MollyL

Nerts is a word that means nonsense. There is no singular. Anyone who watched "I Love Lucy" remembers the episode where "Nerts To Mertz" was used.

7:43 pm

clg47

I guess if the word was not plural it would be Nert = No sense.
