Rainiqui

Sure Diz, how can we do this

12:34 am

dizgrannie

12:38 am

* hugs * sprite.

2:14 am

sprite

*hugs* right back, honey. Did you see the vid I made of Rob?

2:16 am

grannyrose

just now. whooppeeeeee

2:17 am

sprite

you were right, these ones work!

2:17 am

grannyrose

not often i am right but so pleased that i am.i am so chuffed.

2:18 am

sprite

almost missed the chance to film him putting on his sock, lol. I was in a bad place this morning, and himself did not want to bother me, I guess. Just caught it in time.

2:19 am

sprite

you were absolutely right. Lovely that he can put on his own socks now, probably even when the gout is at its worst.

2:19 am

grannyrose

oh honey. i am so pleased to be able to help him. just that little bit of independence will make him so happy.

2:19 am

sprite

that is exactly it. I am always willing to put on his socks and shoes. But that he does not have to ask and can do it himself, makes such a difference.

2:19 am

grannyrose

i think it's the slippery material which works so well.

2:20 am

sprite

yes, I think so too. Because the plastic one we have is similar. But it doesn't make the foot glide in.

2:21 am

sprite

thanks, sweetie. And you know that is not just a word for me

2:21 am

grannyrose

and now you know what to look for when it needs replacing which i hope will not be for many years.

2:22 am

grannyrose

awwww shucks.

2:22 am

sprite

looks like something that will keep working for a long time. Those straps are firmly attached

2:23 am

grannyrose

it is well made isn't it?

2:23 am

sprite

yes, a great find, darling.

2:24 am

grannyrose

* happy sigh *

2:24 am

sprite

will you allow us to pay for the thingy and the postage?

2:24 am

grannyrose

just one more exercise class for me before i go in.

2:25 am

grannyrose

Huh? i can't hear you.... lalalalalalala

2:25 am

sprite

darn it girl! Hands where I can see them!

2:26 am

grannyrose

giggling

2:26 am

sprite

you are brave. Take it easy in that class, please. Just gentle movements, nothing taxing.

2:27 am

grannyrose

i will. not even thinking of doing step ups. legs are much better than yesterday.

2:28 am

sprite

ah, so glad to hear that. I think the long drives and all related injuries have set you back immensely. And then having to wait longer for your infusion because your doctor has the nerve to have a life of his own does not help either.

2:29 am

grannyrose

tomorrow morning no community morning tea. it is world day of prayer. women all over the world are gathering together. this year we are praying for the women of the Cook Islands.

2:29 am

sprite

on a side note: I found the tea and it is not valid. Tsk.

2:30 am

grannyrose

i know. the cheek of it !!

2:31 am

sprite

well, on the plus side: Rob has just taken over my morning walk with the dogs. And Caya will be here to pick up Lewi soon. She had a lovely vacation with friends, in Brussels.

2:32 am

grannyrose

i did do my full program in the pool this afternoon minus some of my step ups. i could feel the shin splints starting so stopped before i had a full on turn.

2:33 am

sprite

am so proud of you. Both for sticking with the program and for adapting it where necessary. You have come such a long way, honey. You are amazing.

2:33 am

grannyrose

lovely darling. so pleased Rob is stepping up to the mark.

2:35 am

sprite

he is. We are more or less playing catch, if that makes sense. THank God we are alternating in the injury/sickness/affliction department and can step in for eachother. Both ready for a long haul of health though.

2:35 am

grannyrose

thanks sprite. oh that FM support group on line? i'm getting out of it. most of the people just don't want to improve their lives at all. it's frustrating me so much. i just want to reach into the screen and shake them...HARD

2:36 am

sprite

that is the problem with most support groups. They want to complain and commiserate. Not change the situation. Very unhealthy places to be for someone who does want to do all they can to improve their situation.

2:37 am

sprite

btw, if I leave babble all of a sudden, that means Caya has arrived.

2:37 am

grannyrose

and Don is very earnest about doing his exercises too. i am very pleased with him.

2:37 am

grannyrose

no problems. make sure she gets my cyber hug please.

2:37 am

sprite

ah that is very good. He has a good example in you, for sure. Am so glad to hear he is being serious about it

2:38 am

sprite

will pass it on!

2:42 am

grannyrose

how you doing with the grid? i found it quite good tonight.

2:43 am

sprite

it is fun! Apart from that pesky K but I dealt with that one. The rest is great, some good long runs but also some tight spots and tough words. Love it.

2:43 am

Kamanjah

HI all!

2:44 am

grannyrose

ditto here.

2:44 am

sprite

*hugs Kam* Hello darling.

2:44 am

grannyrose

* hugs * kam darling

2:44 am

Kamanjah

*hugs* back! Good to see you.

2:46 am

sprite

how are you today, Kam?

2:46 am

Kamanjah

I'm so happy both of you still have hubbies to care for. I miss Michael more than ever these days.

2:47 am

sprite

I so wish yours was still with you, Kam

2:47 am

grannyrose

Don's sister is flying up to Maroochydor, Queensland. She is bringing her mother-in-law back with her as she isn't take care of herself properly. she is 95 for pete's sake. fortunately not until mid next week. hope the cyclone is over by then.

2:47 am

Kamanjah

We have had storms, sunny days, and more storms. The weather changes aren't making my body happy. But, spring is almost here.

2:48 am

sprite

wow. Are they coming to visit you guys?

2:48 am

grannyrose

oh kam. i am so proud of the way you are managing.

2:48 am

sprite

weather changes are so hard to handle physically. Healing vibes, Kam

2:49 am

Kamanjah

My new front yard is looking very nice and my Bird of Paradise is blooming like crazy. I've never had so many blooms before!

2:49 am

grannyrose

sister lives about 20 minutes away from us. and that's just fine. remember Don's name for her? Fang

2:50 am

sprite

oh I will always remember Fang. So no need to have visits :D

2:50 am

grannyrose

Fang turned 80 today. i don't know how she is going to manage really. her hubby is almost disabled with his back.

2:51 am

sprite

too bad she did not improve with time. I bet this will be hard on her. And not many people to ask for help, seeing how she treats them.

2:53 am

grannyrose

oh, and i finally addressed the issue of the kitchen reno's. Don does agree that i have been very patient. he says end of month he will order the beam for the roof, and then ask my son, simon, to help him get it up into the ceiling. that's step 1.

2:54 am

sprite

awesome! Well timed of you and well taken by Don.

2:54 am

grannyrose

kam, i have to move my Bird of Paradise. it simply isn't doing as well as before. the heat here has been very hard to take.

2:55 am

grannyrose

diner here. catch you later. xoxox

2:55 am

Kamanjah

Mine manages temps to 120*F + whatever the sun adds. They love to be rootbound.

2:55 am

sprite

enjoy, darling. *hugs*

3:53 am

Good morning, Babblers. :)

7:39 am

phaeton

hello crossy

7:42 am

crosshair

How is Phaeton this fine morning?

7:42 am

phaeton

Glad our nasty weather is done...cold, windy, and rainy snow yesterday. Better weather on it's way. How are you?

7:46 am

crosshair

We are well, but winter is back. Minus 4C snow squalls along with a "flash freeze" warning. Puppies did not like going out for a pee this morning--rather, they were frolicking while I was frozen. :)

7:47 am

phaeton

hope the weather breaks for you soon

7:48 am

crosshair

Not to worry, six weeks or so and it is all over for another year.

8:02 am

bichon

We had a big rainstorm yesterday. The Bichon refused to poop until this morning

8:10 am

phaeton

lot of nasty weather yesterday

8:48 am

wingding

bichon, you are lucky your puppy will hold it, mine does not .. almost like i needed an umbrella yesterday in the rain for them while checking out the 'perfect spot' in the yard to go

8:50 am

MollyL

Oh what would we do without all this "whose dog pooped and whose did not?" chat

9:04 am

BzznBea

Indeed, Molly.

9:07 am

rururocks

I'd put in a bunch of poop puns but then I'd be called a scatologist

9:08 am

MollyL

I believe he who cast the scatologist aspersions is no longer among us

9:08 am

BzznBea

So that position is available?

9:09 am

rururocks

you'd have to be a lot crankier than you are bea :D

9:09 am

BzznBea

I'm getting pretty cranky lately.

9:11 am

rururocks

and more than a little bit nuts too

9:11 am

MollyL

Yeah, I was going to mention the nuts part

9:12 am

MollyL

But not to worry because there would always be those defending your insane behavior

9:14 am

aslindy

hello all

9:14 am

BzznBea

I'm not of that party so I would be an island.

9:14 am

BzznBea

10:04 am

aslindy

10:07 am

aslindy

Haven't seen Carla lately.

10:32 am

hurshy

10:33 am

BzznBea

I havent been able to get on until later in the day. That is probably why I don't see her.

10:34 am

hurshy

i think she's generally been here daily

10:34 am

hurshy

i am pretty sure i saw her yesterday

10:34 am

She is here more than anyone else

10:40 am

hurshy

woot, found all three 8s!

10:41 am

BzznBea

NIce

10:44 am

MollyL

I think it's great that shows like Hamilton are refusing to go on at The Kennedy Center after Trump's takeover of the theater and it's board.

10:45 am

BzznBea

Anything that makes him mad is great.

10:46 am

hurshy

i am still just reeling about the whole cybersecurity thing

10:46 am

BzznBea

I too applaud them for the refusal.

10:47 am

BzznBea

I haven't caught up to that yet. I'm taking a news break this week.

10:48 am

hurshy

all intelligence personnel working on defending against Russian cyber operations have been told to stop working on it. that's the TLDR.

10:48 am

hurshy

pretty simple really

10:49 am

6:09 pm

hi nan....

6:11 pm

cybernan

struggling with this one - listed early. Although my mind is more on the curling than this.

6:12 pm

hokie carla

howdy nan and pen!

6:13 pm

penquis

yes....stalled at 27...i think I will list....

6:13 pm

penquis

carla!

6:13 pm

hokie carla

102 left here. did a quick run through this morning and got NBT but nowhere near HOET.

6:14 pm

cybernan

hi carla

6:17 pm

cybernan

all ths and those to and en 6's and 7's are eluding me

6:24 pm

cybernan

6:25 pm

hokie carla

6:28 pm

cybernan

en 7, 6, 6 - help please?

6:29 pm

hokie carla

don't have those

6:29 pm

penquis

the en 7 is a compound word...

6:29 pm

penquis

don't have the 6s....

6:32 pm

cybernan

looking the 6/s are 6/21 and 6/27

6:33 pm

penquis

yes, i have listed....couldn't find them...

6:34 pm

cybernan

does the 7 begin with the top or bottom e

6:35 pm

penquis

second row E...

6:36 pm

hokie carla

oh, maybe wine related

6:36 pm

hokie carla

thanks, pen

6:36 pm

penquis

yw...

6:36 pm

cybernan

not seeing it

6:36 pm

hokie carla

not really wine related. haha.

6:37 pm

hokie carla

something at the end of a chapter, etc. I was thinking like something you might taste after a drink.

6:39 pm

cybernan

ty carla

6:42 pm

cybernan

the 6/27 sounds like the en 5 babblet for boredom or listlessness

6:43 pm

hokie carla

the 5 has been a phantom for me

6:44 pm

penquis

ty, nan....i had tried that as a 5, but not a six...

6:45 pm

hokie carla

still not sure how to make that happen

6:45 pm

cybernan

use the point count carla

6:45 pm

penquis

it uses the sometimes vowel...

6:47 pm

cybernan

giving up on the en 6 that comes between that and the 7

6:47 pm

hokie carla

thanks, finally got it

6:47 pm

penquis

i don't like this grid...went through the list and still have 13 to find....

6:49 pm

cybernan

the top two teams in the country are facing off in the last match of the round robin --some utterly fantastic shots

6:50 pm

hokie carla

well I won't plan on finishing then

6:50 pm

hokie carla

in what, nan? you usually watch curling but I must have missed a post.

6:50 pm

cybernan

that's where I was too, pen - down to 8 now

6:51 pm

cybernan

yes -- curling -- the Brier (men's national championship)

6:53 pm

cybernan

I know a lot of people think it's as exciting as watching paint dry, but even those who have never played the game can surely appreciate what it takes to get exactly the right speed and hit the rock you want to take out at exactly the right angle to be successful.

6:54 pm

penquis

the EN 6 is a group of nine, i think....

6:55 pm

penquis

it's a little twisty...

6:56 pm

cybernan

is the fa 7 a compound?

6:56 pm

hokie carla

upper E as well?

6:56 pm

penquis

i don't have it....was just looking for it...

6:57 pm

penquis

the EN 6 starts with the bottom E...

6:57 pm

cybernan

yes it is my last e

6:57 pm

cybernan

will look for it later

6:58 pm

penquis

starts like the word before it....the En 6....

6:58 pm

penquis

no, starts like the word that FOLLOWS it....

7:02 pm

hokie carla

I'm just going to work on HOET

7:06 pm

cybernan

and it has to have the d, c or u in it then

7:06 pm

penquis

7:12 pm
