what happened to stid?

12:08 am

hello everyone :)

12:09 am

Stidkid#1 posted that the fire was probably electric, and it was on Monday. Lucky the dog and the budgies were smothered, but the people were okay -- maybe all were out at the time.

12:09 am

hi nan

12:09 am

a

she posted it on FB so i think it is ok to share here.

She had a house fire and it appears that they lost a whole lot. Their dog and pet birds were killed.

They are living in a hotel for now and she had a minor car accident today.

12:10 am

oh my how awful for Stid

makes my stomach hurt just thinking of it... so thankful all of the people were not hurt... how awful

12:10 am

I feel ill now.

12:10 am

pparently the walls and roof are still there, but pets and possessions are gone. I gather the family is in a hotel. Terrible tragedy.

feel the same, cos

horrible

12:10 am

omg

12:13 am

Brave stidkid #2 managed to go to the concert at school he was to perform in on Tuesday.

12:14 am

omg

it just makes my stomachhurt for them

12:16 am

Are you saying that Stid and Tom's house burned down?

12:17 am

One positive note -- they do have insurance.

they had a fire and lost all of their possessions and pets, but apparently the walls and roof are still standing, but yes, it's gone

12:17 am

Yes, nan -- not totally though. It may be either repaired or replaced.

12:17 am

to lose their pets that way.. horrible

12:17 am

how awful!

12:17 am

poor Lucky :(

12:18 am

Stid adored her Lucky -- so terribly sad.

12:18 am

what a brave person she is

12:19 am

Thinking about it, I'm getting all teary again.

12:23 am

i'm kind of stunned

12:25 am

I FEEL BADLY FOR STID AND HE FAMILY... AND I AM GRATEFUL THAT SHE SEEM TO BE A TOUGH PERSON AND WILL WEATHER THIS

12:25 am

me too ruru

definitely feels unreal... trying to stay thankful for their safety, but the enormous weight of the entire situation takes over... does leave one numb...

12:25 am

saorry for the caps

12:26 am

I really don't want to work on this grid....the saddness is overwhelming.

Could I get a clue for ig7, please?

12:27 am

12:34 am

Monday

12:34 am

Stid said she hopes to get back to work later this week. She's been trying so hard and this is such a blow.

I'm going to be hugging mine really close tonight.

12:44 am

12:45 am

Bye

12:49 am

stid is on FB, we have been chatting. a little shook up after getting her car crashed in to today....but sounds ok.

fire + car crashed into... how did the car crash happen?

12:50 am

somebody ran into her as she was returning to the hotel with dinner

unreal

12:54 am

going to FB to see stid -- nbt/nbs but that's enough distraction

I'm chatting with her, too -they basically have to start all over again.

1:03 am

((((((jill)))))) hello everyone

1:03 am

crackers said you were talking about me

1:03 am

hi stid...glad to hear you and your family are safe

Oh, stid, my heart is aching for you and your family. I'll be praying for you.

I cannot imagine how you must be feeling, but so glad you and your family were not hurt.

1:04 am

thanks, dee and all. We will be okay.

1:04 am

stid, I'm so so sorry to read about the fire and the accident, so glad you are all ok.. sending (( )) s of support and good thoughts your way

Do they know how it started?

1:04 am

I am mostly "okay" with moments of extreme not-okayness.

It would definitely take me a long time to even begin to be okay.

1:05 am

It was an electrical fire. No official word yet though.

So scary.

1:05 am

I am just so very relieved my Grant wasn't more badly hurt than needing a couple stitches.

1:06 am

Even the loss of cherished heirlooms is bearable because he is okay and Matthew of course doesn't live with us any more.

Definitely puts one's priorities in a non-material place.

1:07 am

The loss of Lucky hurts the most. I can't think too often of him. But we were able to bury him with Buffy's ashes which were saved in the house, so that felt right.

1:07 am

stiddy, when you have time, no hurry. i have sent you an email.

1:08 am

I don't know how I will ever get over that loss, but I know I will. i have after losing other pets. It's just hard for a while.

1:08 am

thanks rose

Glad you were able to have that closure for some peace.

1:08 am

It was important to "take care" of him, even though it was too little, too late.

I can imagine.

1:09 am

how sad for you and your family..

1:09 am

Don't know that we've ever spoken, but i am sorry for your losses, stidmama.

1:09 am

stiddy, know what you mean. i still weep in the small hours for my beloved jonah. not a lot, just weep because i miss his loving trust in me.

1:10 am

thanks McLeach

1:10 am

yw

1:10 am

Well, gee. It's easier when people aren't so nice. *sigh*

1:10 am

hi stid - hugs and good thoughts coming you way

1:11 am

I am going to go shopping tomorrow to replace some of my clothes. Have to get some sleep before my friend comes to pick me up.

1:11 am

((ursh))

1:11 am

we are thinking of you, stid.. tc

1:11 am

please be kind to yourself, stiddy. you are a wonderful person.

1:12 am

OH! you'll ALL love this... the friend who "caught" Grant when he was born was out shopping today. She's the one our elder son is staying with the last 8 months. Anyway, out of the blue they showed up at the hotel with a "sampler" of about 9 different types of CHOCLITS!!!!

Praying for strength and stamina for you.

1:12 am

So if you are inclined to drop by, I can treat you! :-)

1:12 am

See, I am really consistent online and IRL.

Best kind of friend! Hugs to her!

1:13 am

I think I like the "three ingredient" choclit patties the most. Dark choclit, honey, peppermint oil (the only mint I can tolerate). I LOVE those! So you-all can share from the others... choclit covered orange, choclit and almonds, choclit bars, choclit bits... *grin* she wanted to replenish my supply.

1:13 am

choclit is good. and a great friend to realise that you needed some.

1:13 am

Yep. She's amazing.

1:14 am

anyway. Thanks to you all for being here, and for caring. We will be okay, and I will be back on babble as soon as I can. Maybe in a couple of days. I'll need the distraction more as some of these things sink in.

1:15 am

too true, stiddy. even if it's only for a few minutes.

1:15 am

Meantime, unplug electrical appliances when not in use. And tell everyone how much they mean to you when you have the chance. And be patient with the short disheveled woman who smells of smoke. She's having a hard week.

I am sure that will be true, and we will be thrilled to "see" you.

1:16 am

((((hugs)))) and ***choclits!*** *poof*

1:39 am

oh darn, just missed stid - my heart goes out to her, we've been there

1:51 am

flosey, stiddy knows that we are praying for her. she actually seems to be in quite good spirits. little flashes of humour breaking through. she certainly is doing it tough at the moment.

1:53 am

they have a tough row to hoe for a while - takes months to get everything sorted out and back in place - hopefully the home can be restored

1:57 am

i have been blessed, never had to deal with the trauma of physically losing my home.came close once, during the bushfires in the early 80's.

1:58 am

that must have been very frightening

2:01 am

yup, it was. and you? what happened with your home?

2:02 am

afternoon, 3 of the kids were home - smelled smoke, one ran down to the cellar and turned off the power while another called fire department - then got out

2:02 am

hubby, coming home from work, drove up to see the road blocked with fire engines, etc

2:03 am

I was working late, so received a phone call - not to go into the house, go next door, where we spent the night, then saw insurance next day and they put us up in a local hotel for the next couple of months

2:06 am

what incredible kids!!! and like stiddy's fire, was it caused by an electrical fault?

2:08 am

no, a chimney above fireplace - that had been approved, fire started between floors, smoke was coming through the joints

2:09 am

good grief, flosey. you could all have been burnt in your beds....

2:10 am

was January, so cold winter day, one started a fire in fireplace - which was normally absolutely OK, but for the chimney, it was the straw that broke.......

2:11 am

we were very lucky

2:12 am

Insurance covered everything

2:12 am

so did you have to rebuild from scratch?

2:14 am

no, brick home, internal damage, one bedroom floor crashed down into livingroom

2:15 am

absolutely every piece of cloth in the house was sent out to be cleaned, carpets replaced, etc.etc.

2:15 am

well i guess that was something good. haven't heard how badly stiddy's home has been damaged. but from the sounds of it, it was pretty horrendous.

2:16 am

it's a dreadful shock to a person's entire system

2:19 am

yay, just had a phone call from don's sister. i don't have to commit murder after all.

2:19 am

I have a great respect for all firemen - they try their best to salvage items that could be family treasures, etc

2:22 am

she had told us she wouldn't be having mother mac easter sunday. it is a special day for my side of the family, when we all get together and celebrate with a picnic in the park. plus this year it was to be my birthday celebration as well.when she said she wouldn't be taking care of mother mac sunday, i had visions of having to drag her to the park or miss the day's outing altogether.

2:23 am

fa

2:23 am

as usual, she got her dates and days all mixed up. so....she IS picking up mother mac on easter sunday morning and bringing her back easter monday night. phw!!!!

2:23 am

hey marigold

2:24 am

oh good rose, glad you'll be able to have a nice time with hubby

2:24 am

hi marigold

2:43 am

gooooooooooooooood morning fellow babblers xxx could someone tell me how many words today please? xxx

2:44 am

2:44 am

ty Sandy xxx

2:44 am

hi there worzel, and hi sandy

2:45 am

hi flo and gran and worz

2:45 am

hi flo and sandy xxx

2:45 am

just here for a minute until daughter of evil comes home and forces me to be a farrier to her horse (I am no farrier and I hate doing it, i am learning)

2:46 am

have to do it bit by bit over a couple of days - i am too old and it can be scary

2:47 am

ah, lots of work there

2:47 am

flo it is not easy and it is dangerous

2:48 am

does save a lot of money tho

2:48 am

how so?

2:49 am

you mean by handling it all by yourself rather than hiring someone else to do it?

2:49 am

farriers charge at least $100 to do the feet

2:49 am

and they have to be done every 6 weeks at least

2:50 am

so with 3 horses it saves a lot

2:50 am

ouch, horses can be quite an expense

2:51 am

they can, you have to do their teeth every six months and worming and feed (feed is down at this time of year)

2:51 am

one of my bridge partners has horses, rides every day, takes them to various competitions off island

2:52 am

what island?

2:52 am

how many letters in the longest word please? xxx

2:52 am

we live on a small island, Salt Spring Is. between Vancouver Island and mainland

2:53 am

there is 1 x 9 letter word

2:53 am

ty flosey xxx

2:53 am

she sounds very devoted. we have shown horses for many years- at the moment tho we have just broken in one horse and training another lots of work

2:53 am

5 x 8

2:54 am

but it keeps you out of doors lots, which is healthy

2:55 am

it does indeed I think it adds years to your life providing you dont get killed in the meantime

2:55 am

ig7?

2:56 am

hiya rose :) How are you doing? Meds back on strength?

4:37 am

oh, yeah. you betcha. this little black duck is cruising.and you, my friend?

4:37 am

lovely to hear! I have a bad cold, but looks like that will be all, no flu. So all in all not discontented :)

4:38 am

good to hear, dear. did you see about stidmama?

4:38 am

the fire? Yes. Awful.

4:40 am

ghastly. i can't even begin to imagine what she is going through. i have been most fortunate and not had to deal with something like that.

4:40 am

*keeps fingers and toes and legs crossed* And may we never have to, rose.

5:03 am

did I break the chat?

5:03 am

hm no... must have killed it in stead

5:10 am

sorry, sweetie, playing solitaire.

5:11 am

lol... ok rose, np. Enjoy the game :)

5:12 am

how you doing with the grid?

5:12 am

104 in, so far so good, having fun with the ending

5:13 am

nice....i found it pretty good.

5:14 am

I am pretty indiscriminate, I like them all, or almost all. They offer different challenges and ways of playing to me.

5:16 am

so... what the heck is a fr8? Is that where a tiny war happens?

5:16 am

ah... looked it up. Will try and remember.

5:16 am

same here...i just like the game so much. i love the challenge of finding the words.

5:18 am

yes, I love playing. That lovely rush of words when you start a big grid, or that weirdly fascinating struggle to find the few words of a tiny tight one. All fun.

5:20 am

yeah...and finding an unword...and your head goes 'what the hey?'

5:21 am

yeah exactly :) Then looking it up and finding a def that forces you to look up the meaning of the words in the def...

5:22 am

or the other way around... not finding a word and then finally spotting it and wondering how on earth you missed it

5:22 am

lol, an endless search for the meaning of why.....

5:23 am

btw... did you know I have started a babble dictionary? It is in my profile. Might be good for a laugh or two.

5:23 am

oh, and missing the obvious plural....what a 'duh' moment is that!!

5:24 am

I can condone missing the obvious plural. But I really hit myself over the head when I have the plural but not the singular. Happens to me a lot still.

5:27 am

oh good God... it is snowing again! Shoot that groundhog.

5:27 am

and the times when you know you have typed in a word, and enable says ' no such word in dictionary'. then later you type it in, and it is accepted.

5:28 am

hehehe indeed... and all those times when you have entered a word and it was accepted, and then at the end they have disappeared from your list...

5:28 am

hey, who lives in a country renowned for it's snow???

5:29 am

but... but.... yeah but in Winter!

5:30 am

you imitating a go4, spritey!!! lolol

5:30 am

lolol!

5:31 am

5:35 am

the whole area is sunny with the yellow stones of the buildings.

8:23 am

Hi Round. If you have any suggestions for me you can email me at muffinbiscuit@gmail.com

8:46 am

Qu8- to give up something

8:46 am

Do you have the un7 zooz, it extends from that

8:46 am

and the un9 is the gerund

8:46 am

ig8 to light something

8:47 am

Fr8 not back + to lease a room.

To light a fa4

Sorry, couldn't help myself

molly, they are now forecasting snow for sunday overnight. :(

5:27 pm

I think the whole month of March needs to disappear, as it just gets in the way of spring. If I ruled the universe ....

5:28 pm

Yes TO, the Sunday into Monday forecast is not looking good. And it's Spring Break here next week.

these last 22 words are looking bleak as well. i need to go shopping, i hate to do it at night but there is no other time.

5:31 pm

i don't like shopping at night, either, for some reason.

5:33 pm

It has to be some kind of emergency for me to be in a grocery store at night. I would rather get up early and be in there at 6AM.

actually, department store. and not closeby

5:37 pm

well, i hope it is a painless trip. i have to go retrieve munchkins from gymnastics practice. ciao!

Lots of goofy words? You know what? I'm not even going to bother. In a sort of twilight zone right now. Stopping in the house I grew up in...,taking care of SoodlePop, while Mom recovers from her recent stroke.

7:01 pm

Sorry Soodle. Your Mom and your clan remain in my prayers.

7:02 pm

SoodlePop sounds like a candy from the Truly Scrumptious factory.

7:03 pm

I know that Molls. And your prayers are truly (scrumptiously) appreciated.

7:04 pm

big hugs soodle.how's you mam doing?

7:04 pm

It's a weird transition when we become the caretakers of our parents.

7:06 pm

Shes doing very well, Lilliann, given that she has had a stroke. However, she will shortly be discharged by the hospital, and full time 24/7 care will be needed.

7:06 pm

i ahven't taken care of mine yet molly but i feel weird that they are still taking care of me at 43, especially the last fortnight that they were with me.i feel like i should be helping them now

7:07 pm

7:09 pm

i have cared for stroke patients in a nursing home.sometimes that is easier for the rel

7:10 pm

thoughts and prayers still going out to your mam and your family soodle

7:12 pm

evening all!

It's hard when a loved one is ill. It gives you that "disconnected from reality" feeling.
