3:11 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and good morning my dearest sprite. how are you today?

3:12 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend. I am a bit blech... diarrhea and cramps and allover blechness. How are you and how was your day?

3:13 am

grannyrose

have only done two small loads of washing, and re-ma4 our bed. no real pain today so that is good.

3:14 am

sprite

that at least is progress. And well done on limiting yourself in the chores.

3:14 am

grannyrose

do you have a storm brewing? or is your body rejecting another fo4?

3:14 am

sprite

as far as I know, I have eaten nothing special. Storm brewing could very well be.

3:15 am

grannyrose

tomorrow i will get groovy's bed ready for her.

3:15 am

sprite

I am jealous :) You gals are gonna have such a terrific time.

3:16 am

grannyrose

oh yeah. and herinferalady is joining us.

3:16 am

sprite

for real? Omg that is just awesome. You will hug both of them from me, won't you?

3:17 am

grannyrose

yes honey. will take pics too and share with you.

3:17 am

sprite

lovely. Three of my favorite babble gals meeting up.

3:17 am

grannyrose

*grin* aw shucks

3:17 am

sprite

:D

3:19 am

grannyrose

had about 1/2 kilo of hair removed from my head today. my hair is soooo short. and it feels great.

3:20 am

sprite

oh that is great, rose. Feels lovely, doesn't it :)

3:20 am

grannyrose

so much cooler too

3:42 am

grannyrose

where you go?? you got squirrels too?

3:42 am

sprite

no I am right here, sweetie

3:43 am

grannyrose

ahhhh, there you are. are you still feeling blech?

3:43 am

sprite

very. I hope my bowels will calm down before I have to leave for the long auto drive.

3:43 am

grannyrose

have you checked your BSL?

3:45 am

sprite

hmm no I haven't. Do you think it is caused by high bsl?

3:45 am

grannyrose

no, a low bsl more likely.

3:45 am

sprite

ok will check

3:46 am

grannyrose

have you something in the house you can eat or drink which give you a slow release of sugar?

3:47 am

sprite

5.4 That is low but not extremely low.

3:47 am

grannyrose

no that is not too low, that is about normal. have you had your brekky yet?

3:49 am

sprite

am taking it while we speak. Here they say 7 is normal. Below 6 is low. But it doesn't become worrisome until you reach about 2.

3:49 am

sprite

which hardly ever happens if you don't shoot insulin.

3:52 am

grannyrose

perhaps if your body is used to a higher bsl you maybe reacting to the lower levels.

3:53 am

sprite

could be. Well, I hope it settles soon. I want to go to the wife of one of my ward mates in the hospital and get my nails done :)

3:53 am

ivesy3

thats what happens to me. mine is always on high side, when it gets lower my body goes wacko.good morning

3:53 am

sprite

hiya ivesy :)

3:55 am

grannyrose

*roflol* was brushing the keyboard to remove dust.

3:56 am

sprite

3:56 am

ivesy3

i thought my glasses went out on me lol

3:56 am

sprite

ivesy, how are you?

3:57 am

grannyrose

i mean where do these blobs of fluff come from?? hiding under the keys bless them

3:57 am

ivesy3

3:57 am

sprite

3:58 am

sprite

4:00 am

ivesy3

good morning, everybody :)

4:54 am

bichon

hi crossy

5:17 am

crosshair

yaa! there is life! Howdy, bichon :)

5:17 am

bichon

Going to be warmer today

5:18 am

crosshair

12C here atm with a high of 16C later on. Cannot complain.

5:19 am

bichon

Mid 70's here. Pretty warm after the last few

5:21 am

crosshair

Dipping down to near freezing at night now so our fall colours are really starting to get going.

5:22 am

bichon

Ours won't start til next week

5:26 am

sukee

Good morning. It's going up to 19 here today :)

5:47 am

Scrabbler

Good day, kids.

5:48 am

sukee

Hi Scrabs.

5:55 am

crosshair

Howdy, scrabby. Loved all the picture of your trip :)

5:57 am

Scrabbler

We had a wonderful time--great hikes and paddling.

5:58 am

sukee

Well, excuse me...

6:01 am

Scrabbler

Why, sukee?

6:01 am

crosshair

Howdy, sukee :))

6:01 am

crosshair

I would never forget you :)

6:02 am

Scrabbler

I said hi to the kids.

6:02 am

crosshair

:)

6:03 am

crosshair

I love that you bring a portable scrabble game with you :)

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Always. That set has been in many airports and locations in the US.

6:08 am

Scrabbler

I am meeting Hego and her husband for dinner tonight!!

6:08 am

crosshair

I can see it now... Scrabby and sis, sitting by the campfire. A loon 's call echoes hauntingly acrossy the still waters, when the majesty of nature is interrupted by scrabby saying " Mixlepick is so too a word!!" only to discover that they left the scrabble dictionary back at home :)

6:08 am

crosshair

Yaa for babble get-togethers!

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Crossy, we have played Scrabble next to many ponds and lakes, often hearing loons wail, and two days ago we watched sea planes take off and land on Seventh Lake, while we sat at a picnic table next to a fire in front of a lean-to. We always have the dictionary with us for challenges.

6:10 am

crosshair

You should also air brush a scrabble board on the hull of the kayak. That way you just have to carry a bag of tiles :)

6:10 am

crosshair

Love it :)

6:11 am

Scrabbler

We kayaked to a campsite with an extra-large lean-to. It was huge.

6:12 am

crosshair

I see those lean-to's often in your pictures. Wish we had things like that. they must come in handy

6:13 am

crosshair

More often that not, I end up stringing a large tarp overhead to stay dry long enough to set up the tent when the weather is foul ;)

6:13 am

rubyfoo

Good morning!

6:13 am

crosshair

((ruby))

6:13 am

Scrabbler

On one hike, around Cascade Lake, which was 2 miles from the parking area, we came upon stone walls and foundations, and some clearings. A google search later revealed that there was a girls' camp there in the 1930's and 40's.

6:13 am

rubyfoo

6:13 am

Scrabbler

Hi Ruby

6:14 am

Scrabbler

You don't have lean-to's along the Bruce Trail?

6:14 am

rubyfoo

{{scrabbler}} we used to go to the Lake George area on vacatins when I was a kid.

6:15 am

Scrabbler

I have driven through Lake George Village but have not stopped there--too busy and commercial for me.

6:16 am

Scrabbler

Although the northern part of Lake George is quieter and I think about going there someday.

6:17 am

rubyfoo

My uncle owned a house on Trout Lake which was above Bolton Landing, not commercial and very pretty (but of course, that's 100 years ago --lol)

6:18 am

Scrabbler

I prefer the quiet, remote lakes that do not allow motor boats.

6:19 am

rubyfoo

I think Trout Lake was like that. We used to fish there and I learned to row. Also, caught frogs for my father's bait.

6:22 am

Scrabbler

I must get ready for work. Bye, kids.

6:23 am

rubyfoo

bye

6:32 am

crosshair

Nope, no lean-to's

6:35 am

crosshair

Though the Bruce is not a overnight camping sort of trail system. Some do through-hike but that is rare. Most just pick a chunk of its 800k for a day hike.

6:35 am

rubyfoo

I think my hiking days are long past

6:36 am

crosshair

it is small in comparison to the Bigger trail systems in the U.S

6:38 am

rubyfoo

I'm getting used to this big empty house. Thank God for the dogs!

6:40 am

crosshair

I am glad you have a chance to take care of yourself for a change and that hubby is in good hands.

6:41 am

rubyfoo

the last I heard, he was pushing a lady around in her wheelchair. Maybe he'll find a girlfriend!

6:41 am

crosshair

lol!

6:41 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone.

6:41 am

rubyfoo

Having a blood test, MRI and a doctor visit next week and will know more then. Feeling optimistic!

6:41 am

rubyfoo

6:42 am

crosshair

Howdy, Lynxx :)

6:42 am

lynxxx

Ruby - I saw the most beautiful blonde puppy chows at our State Show...too sweet

6:43 am

rubyfoo

Did you see that Rufie has been asked to cover a local bitch? Pimping out my baby, lol

6:44 am

lynxxx

and what is your fee going to be? another pup!?

6:44 am

crosshair

Madame Ruby of The Doggy House of Ill-Repute :)

6:45 am

rubyfoo

I can't possibly have another pup but would love to be paid

6:45 am

rubyfoo

One of my friends said I was putting him on the "trottoir"

6:45 am

crosshair

lol

6:46 am

lynxxx

How nice that there are other chows around - they are not so common

6:46 am

rubyfoo

Rufie is famous! He's been trying to mount Raffie and she is unimpressed

6:47 am

rubyfoo

As far as I know, there are only three others in this whole area

6:47 am

lynxxx

Rufie is Randy I think you meant to say

6:47 am

rubyfoo

And Raffie is fixed

6:47 am

rubyfoo

bites him on the nose after a wee snuggle

6:48 am

mattygroves

6:49 am

6:50 am

lynxxx

6:50 am

Lizlin

Ruby - hugs. So happy to read that things are becoming more settled.

6:51 am

Lizlin

6:51 am

rubyfoo

6:51 am

Lizlin

6:51 am

Lizlin

6:52 am

rubyfoo

And the local government is really trying to help me

6:52 am

lynxxx

6:55 am

rubyfoo

hello friends

9:11 am

rururocks

bye une

9:13 am

rururocks

morning Trif

9:13 am

rururocks

I haven't seen you.. but how did it go with Valentine?

9:13 am

rururocks

If I'm prying just say you'd rather not talk about it

9:14 am

penquis

hello...

9:14 am

Trifioso

it went. I said what I had to say, he said what he had to say. I drew a line in the sand, and now I wait.

9:14 am

Trifioso

thanks for asking.

9:15 am

rururocks

I find it kind of weird that he's blaming you for his behavior though. Just my thoughts

9:16 am

rururocks

I'll shut up now

9:17 am

Trifioso

he isn't anymore ruru, trust me on that one. I cleared that one RIGHT the hell up!

9:20 am

rururocks

well that at least is good news

9:22 am

rururocks

how he responds now.. will tell you all you need to know

9:23 am

Trifioso

yup.

9:23 am

Trifioso

I am so proud of myself, I will say. I have gotten STRONG in the past few years.

9:24 am

rururocks

each relationship (married or not) is a learning experience (at least for me)

9:24 am

Trifioso

I agree, but sometimes I resent it - "oh no! Not another learning experience!"

9:24 am

Trifioso

to be honest, this time I don't feel I need to learn the lesson - this time I am teaching it.

9:25 am

rururocks

I keep telling myself.. there has to be at least one normal woman out there somewhere :D

9:26 am

Trifioso

I don't need normal. I quote Rent - "I'm looking for baggage that goes with mine."

9:27 am

rururocks

LOL!

9:27 am

Trifioso

I spent my entire dating life and most of the last years of my marriage trying to convince men I was worth sticking with. DONE with that. If they can't figure that out for themselves, I walk away.

9:28 am

rururocks

I had to remind my ex yesterday that she can no longer boss me around... it was a light bulb moment for her

9:28 am

rururocks

good plan there trif.. to have them appreciate you for who you are faults and all etc

9:28 am

rururocks

and good points too.

9:30 am

Trifioso

auto

9:30 am

Trifioso

oops sorry

9:31 am

Trifioso

that is my plan. My warts aren't so bad, and I have many good qualities.

9:32 am

Trifioso

I think you would have found the meeting quite entertaining. he thought he would show up, say he loved me, and I would swoon and that would be it. Ummmm - no. He got blown backwards when I started in.

9:34 am

Trifioso

aren't udon noodles a thing?

9:36 am

rururocks

oh.. he wasn't expecting that huh?

9:36 am

Trifioso

apparently not.

9:37 am

Trifioso

best thing I ever did.

9:37 am

rururocks

well.. good. You don't need to accept poor behavior

9:37 am

rururocks

you are getting stronger then.. and now maybe wiser

9:43 am

Trifioso

well, not to brag, but I DO have nbt....lol

MimiCat

Hello, everyone! Recovering from back surgery which I hope will solve my legs problem. But---ouch--constantly.

10:57 am

TraderKate

{{{((( Mimicat )))}}} how lovely to see you!
I hope you heal quickly... have they given you lots of good drugs for the pain? lol

10:57 am

10:57 am

Ran out so just being tough. Good to see you, too, Kate.

10:57 am

10:57 am

MimiCat

((crossy))

10:58 am

Howdy kate ;)

10:58 am

TraderKate

have they got more coming your way mimi, or have they "cut you off"?

10:59 am

MimiCat

Interestingly, they also put me on Synthroid for my thyroid which I've been saying for YEARS I needed.

10:59 am

MimiCat

No, not cut off at all, just really difficult to pick up prescription.

11:00 am

TraderKate

glad you finally got the thyroid meds...are they helping?
won't pharmacy deliver?

11:01 am

MimiCat

Just started them so too soon to tell. They also found a couple of nodules they want to have biopsied...oy vey.

11:04 am

TraderKate

well, don't worry about the nodules mimi, many are benign...I have a few too..

11:05 am

rururocks

were things pressing on your nerves mimi and that's why you had trouble walking?

11:06 am

TraderKate

hi ruru :)
any luck with the great house hunt?

11:06 am

MimiCat

I know, Kate...I see that all the time in my work.

11:07 am

rururocks

no TK.. looking at a few more this week. I think I'm switching realtors though.

11:08 am

MimiCat

Yes, ((ruru)), that's what they think was happening. My spinal canal at L4 was extremely narrowed so they "opened it up" by attaching another fusion to the one I already had at L5 plus putting screws in the side walls. I can walk now but my legs want to give out quickly.

11:08 am

TraderKate

ah, sorry it seems to be taking so long... but at least you have the luxury of time to find your "forever" home.

11:09 am

rururocks

walking is good mimi.. that's a big start

11:10 am

rururocks

thanks TK.. I'm not in a hurry. I just want something that I can make perfect for me.

11:11 am

MimiCat

Well, it's necessary since I live alone. Getting up is a process, however, at least I can do it. Physical therapy today...big ouch.

11:12 am

rururocks

no pain.. no gain

11:12 am

TraderKate

...without having to do a complete re-model...
You'll find it ruru.... that aha "this is home" moment will come... hopefully with the new realtor.

11:13 am

MimiCat

I prefer "gain...no pain!"

11:13 am

TraderKate

do you have a walker or something to help you get around mimi?

11:13 am

rururocks

(weenie)

11:13 am

MimiCat

Well, must get some work done. Enjoy your day, everyone. Hugs. (Yes, I do have a walker) (you bet, ruru!)

11:14 am

4:19 pm

rubyfoo

He went into a nursing hojme with a locked Alzheimer'ssection on Friday and have two months to find a permanent solution It is a lovely place, way outin the country

MollyL

Why will they only let him stay for two months?

4:19 pm

periwinkle

I am glad that it is a nice place. does he seem ok there?

4:20 pm

periwinkle

do you have to pay for his stay or is the government helping

4:20 pm

rubyfoo

It is a special arrangement with the conseil general when people must be taken out of their unsafe homes for various reason. But they're working with me to find a place

4:21 pm

rubyfoo

Hopefully, it will be as nice

5:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, i would not hold my breath...:)

5:52 pm

hurshy

hey the clue thing could totally happen

5:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. i am struggling with a four letter word. i will move on for noe.

5:54 pm

MollyL

Fascinating conversation? Keep dreaming Hursh.

5:57 pm

hurshy

it happens! we've had some recently about loss, for instance

5:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am just trying to finish. i am baking and need to finish up before i have to do something.

5:59 pm

MollyL

It's always nice when chat is interesting. It's generally vague and all about clues.

6:05 pm

rururocks

well it could be about tidbits for the day

6:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

ah,,, the last word is the last word. how ironic.

6:08 pm

MollyL

True Ru, but 150 emails can't be wrong.
Or can they?

6:08 pm

Hi Chrissie. I have not been playing as regularly lately so I have missed you. How are things and that lovely granddaughter of yours?

6:18 pm

ChrissieDee

Hi jaxx. Good to see you

6:18 pm

jaxx7

Good to see you too

6:19 pm

ChrissieDee

They were over for 6 weeks this summer so we had some lovely times

6:19 pm

ChrissieDee

Have you had your operation?

6:22 pm

jaxx7

No, unfortunately. the first delay was by the hospital just 1 week before I should have gone in. Then my BP went spiralling so it was delayed agin. It is due next week but now I have high Bp and a chest infection.

6:22 pm

MollyL

Oh dear, I forgot. The Babble Facebook Community is the place for bitchin. My bad.

Good Evening All.

That's not good jaxx. Hope you get sorted soon

6:24 pm

jaxx7

I have been feeling so rotten that I shall be glad when it is over and done with.

6:25 pm

Nef

What kind of surgery, jaxx (if I may ask)?

6:26 pm

jaxx7

I am having half my (knobbly) thyroid taken out and the two parathyroid glands behind it on the left.

6:27 pm

Nef

I remember now! I think the last time I saw you here you were saying that.

6:28 pm

Nef

Sending healing thoughts & prayers your way.

6:29 pm

jaxx7

I haven't felt like being anything except in bed . I resd that Ruby feels much the same. No energy. Being away has meant that I have lost the ability to babble. My score went right down and now I can't babble properly.

6:30 pm

ChrissieDee

You should feel like a new woman afterwards, if you can just get into the operation.

6:30 pm

jaxx7

Thanks for the kind thoughts nef.

6:30 pm

Nef

I never look at my scores any more. It makes it easier that way for me at this point in my life.

6:31 pm

jaxx7

Between me and the NHS it has been nearly a year.

6:32 pm

Nef

YUK, jaxx! No wonder you feel so bad!

6:34 pm

jaxx7

I went into a well woman check and came out feeling really ill. I cannot tell anyone how fed up I am with medical appointments, lost test results and feeling like a pincushion.

6:34 pm

ChrissieDee

Got to go I'm afraid, work in the morning. Take care jaxx and hope to speak to you soon. Bye Nef

6:34 pm

jaxx7

have a good day at work, Chrissie, and look after yourself.

I just found a wa4/9; looking it up, it sounds like you must feel

Bye Chrissie! Sleep well!

Hi pen; new Icon picture I see

6:44 pm

MollyL

It's never too nippy to sit by the water and eat lobster.

6:44 pm

rururocks

did you have to claw your way to get there penquis?

6:44 pm

Nef

It looks a bit chilly there in the picture..

6:44 pm

penquis

too true.....

6:44 pm

jaxx7

Hi, Pen. No offence but I must seek my bed. My brain has turned to marshmallow. Thank you for the well worded clue, Molly. I had the ri4 but couldn't remember the term 'suffix'. Hence it is time to admit defeat. Take care all of you.

6:44 pm

ruru, are those your pups?

6:49 pm

rururocks

the middle one is my boy when he was a baby

6:49 pm

Nef

How old is he now?

6:53 pm

rururocks

6

6:54 pm

Nef

So nice and settled; no longer thinks he's a puppy?

6:55 pm

rururocks

Oh. He acts like a puppy still

6:56 pm

Nef

Is he a golden retriever?

6:57 pm

MollyL

But that's not because Ru babies him or anything Nef.
: P

6:57 pm

Nef

(I know I didn't spell that right; and spell check didn't fix it

6:58 pm

Nef

Oh, I bet ruru babies him all the time!

6:59 pm

rururocks

Yes

7:00 pm

Nef

Does he still have the energy to wear you out, ru?

7:01 pm

Nef

(I bet ru takes him for a walk to wear off the dog's energy; & ru comes home more worn out that the dog!)

7:03 pm

MollyL

Perhaps it is best that we not speak of Ru's stamina (or lack thereof) now that he is single and in search of someone to get busy with.

7:04 pm

rururocks

ha..

7:04 pm

rururocks

that's a different kind of stamina

7:04 pm

rururocks

that I have stamina for :D

7:05 pm

MollyL

Is that like the "snow on the roof, but still fire in the furnace" line that "men of a certain age" toss out?

7:06 pm

Nef

Well, *I'm* not getting in *that* discussion (not my business....)

7:06 pm

MollyL

Note: Ru and I are friends, I am just teasing him. Not being "critical".

7:07 pm

Nef

no problem, Molly; I just wanted to know who comes home more tired from a doggy walk; the dog or the owner

7:07 pm

MollyL

Okay, back to RATED: G conversation.

7:10 pm

Nef

I don't care; I'm just too tired to have a nimble mind tonight. DH has been in the hospital again for a week and is now back home; worry is exhausting

7:11 pm

penquis

sorry to hear that, nef....glad he is back home...

7:12 pm

rururocks

doggy walks are fun.. and not exhausting..we walk for one mile or a mile and a half.. that's about it

7:12 pm

rururocks

bigger than a furnace anyways :D

7:13 pm

Nef

thanks, pen. At least now I have more information and can possibly avert some of his horrible problems when he gets sick

7:13 pm

penquis

well that sounds good!....

7:15 pm

Nef

I just hope it will work next time....

hi nef--just tuned in after a hard day--I haven't played in months--focusing on bk 4--how are you, Frank, grandson Ron?

10:18 pm

Nef

Well, Frank just got out of the hospital again (with M.S., a small infection can paralysis him; and as soon as the infection clears, he's better again

10:19 pm

Nef

Ronald is in 1st grade & it's amazing watching him change! :-)

10:19 pm

Nef

How is book 4 coming along?

10:22 pm

RoundBarn

too slow, too many interruptions, too many things to finish off, check off. I am not weary of the material but of the work. Just fort back from Nev where my 8 mo old gr-grandson was visiting from Paris. Very very bright and cute. Laurent talks French to him, Gil.lian English, so he'll be bi ligual.

10:24 pm

RoundBarn

thanks for news on F and R. I'm glad F is better again--I back read to his cherries adventure just now.

10:24 pm

RoundBarn

deer

10:25 pm

Nef

(with this hospitalization; at least a doctor told me how come he gets so bad with a "simple" infection; if his core body temp goes up even 1 degree (F), the nerve impulses can't get through and every thing short circuits!)

10:25 pm

Nef

A great grandson? How wonderful!

10:26 pm

RoundBarn

I think they are kearning more and more abt brains, nerves

10:28 pm

Nef

I'd patiently peeled the dry outer covers off the ground cherries this afternoon; I'm not sure how he could spill them; but he did and and then he squashed nearly half of them. It's so funny: I said "don't move; I'll get them!" and he backs up and sqish!

10:29 pm

RoundBarn

that

10:29 pm

Nef

And the interruption of a great grandson must have been fun!

10:29 pm

rururocks

what are ground cherries?

10:30 pm

RoundBarn

that's the time everyone should fall over laughing so as not to cry!

10:30 pm

Nef

I wanted to cry for a minute; but I didn't.

10:31 pm

Nef

Ground cherries are a relative of nightshade I think; they look like mini tomatillos and are very sweet

10:31 pm

RoundBarn

Hi ru--the only other time I tuned in you'd made one of the jokes I like--but I only stayed a minute and you didn't come on again.

10:31 pm

Nef

(I also didn't laugh) :-(

10:32 pm

RoundBarn

I kniow ground cherries but have never had any--are they wild? Or did you grow them?

10:32 pm

Nef

They are about a centimeter or smaller in size guru.

10:32 pm

rururocks

I'm in and out at night RB.. sorry I missed that

10:33 pm

rururocks

I've never had a ground cherry

10:33 pm

Nef

Ruru! (darn autocorrect!)

10:34 pm

rururocks

RoundBarn

I thinl he's a guru, too.

10:34 pm

Nef

we get CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and they were in our box the last 2 weeks. Sadly, my garden is dead now

10:35 pm

Nef

gurus wear orange?

10:35 pm

rururocks

ah.. fall is here nef. I can smell it

10:35 pm

rururocks

yes.. orange is the new Hack :D

10:35 pm

Nef

LOL!

10:36 pm

RoundBarn

Frost? I still have tomatos. At Gillian's in Nevada she's getting potatos, lots of squash. Bib onions. They are making a lush littel oasis.

10:36 pm

rururocks

(I'm going to have a small garden at my next house

10:37 pm

Nef

No, we haven't had frost yet; but the trees are turning all sorts of beautiful colorshere right now

10:37 pm

Nef

My garden is dead from neglect. :-/

10:37 pm

rururocks

my shade maple is changing colors

10:39 pm

Nef

My zucchini and pumpkins and squash didn't produce anything, I got a fair amount of tomatoes; bok choy, Kale, and herbs; but I couldn't keep up with it and then the critters had fun out there.

10:40 pm

rururocks

that's the problem.. we have lots of birds here

10:40 pm

rururocks

and squirrels

10:40 pm

rururocks

or as I call them rats with nice coats

10:41 pm

Nef

birds aren't bad; it's the red & grey squirrels, the chipmunks and rabbits that have ruined our garden

10:41 pm

RoundBarn

in spite of the big F (focus) I agreed to review a history of Lithuanians in Spf;d for 100 years. Due soon. So this chat is an indulgance--gotta go to bed and read. Actuallu it's sorta like my saga--you can open it anywhere, and she's gathered stories and history from all over. I don't know how to review it--say just shake it and everything you can think of will fall out. Just don't step on the ground cherries.

10:41 pm

rururocks

ah.. you have chipmunks..

10:42 pm

rururocks

sounds unorganized RB

10:42 pm

Nef

LOL, RoundBarn! How did you manage to get yourself so busy in retirement?

10:42 pm

rururocks

disorganized even

10:45 pm

RoundBarn

Actually ru it's very organized. Send me your address some time and I'll send you a book.

10:45 pm

Nef

SOmetimes, RB, you need indulgences.

10:46 pm

Nef

RB writes wonderful books, ruru. :-)

10:46 pm

rururocks

ah .. I bet

10:46 pm

rururocks

I'm reading two right now.

10:47 pm

RoundBarn

Well, 10 days in Nevada was an indulgence. It's picking up the reins again, first you have to find the reins, and there are more than two!

10:47 pm

rururocks

In my old age I've become a slower reader

10:47 pm

Nef

WHat are you reading now, ru?

10:48 pm

rururocks

All the Light we cannot see

10:48 pm

rururocks

and Of Wolves and men

10:48 pm

Nef

LOL! RB, you need to drop some of those reins and relax a bit!

10:48 pm

RoundBarn

me too, slow reader and writer. Been reading a biog of Darwin--how he managed to write between all his illness bouts--to say nothing of THINK--

10:49 pm

rururocks

I'm getting slow at everything :D

10:50 pm

Nef

I haven't heard of either of those books, ru; but I have read about Darwin's life, RB and I always wondered the same thing

10:50 pm

RoundBarn

I figure I'll finish abt Feb then take a deep breath and look at 10 years of neglect. I'll come to Mlps and see you, and Jerry and Debby.

10:51 pm

Nef

I'd love to see you again, RB. And we should sit down and have a good long chat!

10:54 pm

RoundBarn

I'd like to come this fall but it won't happen. I'll get as far as Delavan and see Ellie and kids. They are not doing well. Too much trauma. But I can ahng around a few days and be grandma furniture. (Get Topsy Turvy on net flicks for a great show--abt Gilbert and Sullivan.

10:55 pm

Nef

I'm sorry to hear they aren't doing well. And it's important to be with them when things are not going well

11:01 pm

Nef

I'm sorry, but I need to go to bed myself. I have 6 more word (all S'es) and I can't stay awake.

11:01 pm

RoundBarn

I'm doing poorly on this grid, so should go to bed and let the Lithuanians put me to sleep. This grid just froze up on me, too. I'll tell you abt the kids later--I haven't written abt it in Ill Times but if you look up my poem tomorrow, it's about guns--and the perfidous Isrealites. Goodnight, dear Nef. You too, Ruru. if there.

11:03 pm

Nef

Good Nighth Round Barn, & also ruru

11:09 pm

rururocks
