Dorens
"feeling very proud"
12:17 am
saanichcat
it's a funny word isn't it
12:18 am
Dorens
it is. Hey, saanichat, my granddaughter said she likes you (ravens) thinks you're very cool
12:19 am
Dorens
or was that my son David. He likes them too. I've had a bit of very nice St. Emilion and then a really good long talk with 16 year old grandson and too hyped up to sleep
12:21 am
saanichcat
sounds like a comfortable night all round. Will write soon
12:21 am
rururocks
Which St Emillion?
12:22 am
Dorens
I dunno, I'm up on the third floor now, was a grand cru though.
12:22 am
Dorens
You know I don't remember these things ru
12:22 am
rururocks
Oh. Send a pic tomorrow
12:23 am
Dorens
remember it is 1:22 here and I should definitely be sleeping. Just so full of the emotion and the talk I had with Levi. It was remarkable
12:23 am
rururocks
Oh nice
12:24 am
saanichcat
he'll remember it forever
12:24 am
rururocks
Did the Galapagos trip play a part in it?
12:24 am
Dorens
and we had a rollicking game of boggle whilst drinking the wine.
and yes, he surely will. I made sure that he will dwell on the good times, there have been many
12:25 am
Dorens
Nope, but we did discuss Paris. He was only 5 then but remembers it well. And many Martha's Vineyard trips. Like every year since before he was born (except for when I turned 60 and we went to Sonoma!
12:27 am
rururocks
That was a momentous trip - Sonoma

*giggles* Welll thank you ru!
12:45 am
grannyrose
actually ruru she doesn't look a day over 50. i think she has been sipping at the fountain of youth. xoxox
12:45 am
sprite
*grins* At least I will never look as old as I feel
12:46 am
grannyrose
or you don't look as old as the man you feel....
12:46 am
sprite
mmmmmm that too
12:47 am
grannyrose
* giggles *
12:48 am
grannyrose
speaking of the old man... is he awake yet?
12:49 am
sprite
no, deep asleep. Will probably be for a couple more hours
12:49 am
grannyrose
i'm surviving on 3 hours sleep.i had one of those nights. *sigh*
12:49 am
sprite
ugh yeah, I know them well. Some severe man-with-the-hammer moments in days after those nights
12:52 am
grannyrose
he's lucky he can sleep in. don and I have to be up between 7 and 8 in order to take our meds on time. never gonna sleep in again. waaahhh.
12:53 am
sprite
I am the same. Rob is indeed lucky, though he had a bad time with the AB. So many rules! Not less than 30 mins before food or at least 2 hours after, stand up while taking it, not lying down at least for an hour after taking it.
12:54 am
grannyrose
ugh. yep. those are the ones. just got to love them AB's.
12:57 am
sprite
poor man had 3 treatments of those, alas. But all done and dusted now, including the pneumonia one. He is pill free.... but I put him on the pre- and probiotics :D
12:57 am
grannyrose
good idea, his bowel flora will be severely compromised for a while.
12:58 am
sprite
that is what i told him. No good beasties left so get your ass in gear and take the darn powders. Yes, in lukewarm water. Yes, on an empty stomach. And quit whining :D
12:58 am
grannyrose
so, what's on your agenda for today?
1:00 am
sprite
honey, nothing much. It is a week day so I do not expect the kids, though Caya might pop in. Rob and I will have coffee with apple pie later this morning, and that is it for today. We will plan a family day soon to celebrate the birthdays of Rob, me, Lisa and Juno combined.
1:00 am
grannyrose
lol... they are incredible aren't they? you should here Don because I want him to take Vit B supplements to help his memory.
1:00 am
sprite
they are. Precious, beloved and terribly headstrong.
1:01 am
grannyrose
I keep telling him that the tablets are easier to take than the injections... that usually quietens him.
1:04 am
grannyrose
I keep wondering if these memory lapses are because he just can't be bothered trying to remember, or is it something a little more sinister. you see, he can remember anything to do with him, like hearing tests, etc, but my stuff, when i remind him, i get, oh, I forgot. really makes you feel treasured..not
1:06 am
sprite
well you know he is a little teeny tiny bit selfish, your beloved husband... so it is probably both. Of course his short term memory is not as good as 20 years ago, that comes with age. And even though he loves you very much, he is more focused on himself than on you.
1:08 am
grannyrose
* sigh * yeah I know. and he is pretty good about doing stuff for me nowadays. I took your advice and just him like it is. It makes me feel awful, like a nag or something. but it does get through to him.
1:09 am
sprite
it is the educating his mother should have done for him but didn't. And it is not nagging, honey. It is setting clear boundaries which will benefit you both in the end.
1:10 am
grannyrose
boundaries like i'm not going to swat him you mean?
1:23 am
sprite
fireflies. FUn grid today

How many of you remember the app called "StumbleUpon?" It allowed random web surfing based on your likes and dislikes and brought you to interesting web sites you might not have otherwise found. Sadly this app has been defunct for several years now. Recently, I have found an app in the Google Play Store called "Mix" that does exactly what StumbleUpon used to do. I highly reccommend it to those who may be interested.
7:39 am
CardinalsFan99
StumbleUpon was the best, my friends and I would always share the best stuff we found while stumblin.
7:39 am
CardinalsFan99
Will have to check Mix out

8:48 am
hurshy
i wonder if you could find even one teacher anywhere who would say "no, don't ban student phones"
8:49 am
Scrabbler
Hurshy, yes. Students must learn, and learn self-discpline.
