4:17 am

4:17 am

And to you, Rolin :-)

4:17 am

I dont know why but some things I sent you Sprite came back(email)

4:17 am

Hi Rolin and same to you too

4:17 am

how odd, pug... nothing has changed here.

4:18 am

Sorry, Rolin, Just started here..only 48 words in.

4:18 am

I know some goes through and some dont---got me stumped

4:18 am

4:18 am

just started as well, rolin

4:19 am

no idea why that happened, pug.

4:19 am

I wrote you a long letter yesterday or the day before and did you get that

4:20 am

Ah just got an RE 8/45 colour + what plants have in the soil + plural

4:21 am

lol... just heard the famous Xmas song from one of our dutch cabaretiers... Flappie... it is kind of sad but the end is so funny... it is about a child that has a pet rabbit and suddenly just before Xmas the pet is gone, and daddy says he cannot go to the shed and if he goes and plays nicely, he will get a treat later on.

4:21 am

both re 8s are 45s

4:21 am

I dont think Ive heard that Sprite

4:22 am

and he searched everywhere for his Flappie, but can't find him. And then at dinner, lo and behold, there is the poor rabbit, as dinner, and the child goes berzerk of course. And then it ends... with the next day, when mum asks where is dad, and the child answers she is not allowed in the shed, and if she goes and plays nicely... she will get a treat later on...

4:22 am

Oh dear sounds like he is to get rabbit pie/stew

4:22 am

yup thats the one I have zoom... do you ahave the other o-o?

4:23 am

thats awful Sprite!

4:23 am

4:37 am

didn't they appreciate your firecrackers, o-o?

4:37 am

more full of the xmas spirit

4:38 am

they also think the tree is an eyesore

4:38 am

one would think they'd be more appreciative of your efforts!

4:38 am

well its your tree and your place and nothing worse then a bunch of drunks

4:39 am

I did put three stands of tinsel on it after all.

4:39 am

strands

4:39 am

what do you have hanging on the tree? Your eggs? lol

4:40 am

3 no less! So generous. How sad that your neighbours don't like it.

4:41 am

have not started the egg search .. have a dog trained to sniff out fowl smells

4:41 am

a good rabbit dog would come in handy too now

4:43 am

Are you planning a dinner for your family Sprite

4:44 am

OO did you clue the ch8, and I missed it

4:44 am

4:44 am

pug, for the Xmas song: http://tinyurl.com/m4ewm9p

4:45 am

4:46 am

yes and the poor child.

4:46 am

okay thanks OO--will have to go back to find it and thanks

4:47 am

all I want for xmas is a replacement unwelcome mat the neighbors absquatulated with

4:48 am

they were jealous, no doubt, o-o

4:49 am

4:51 am

5:15 am

wow sprite what diet is that

5:15 am

5:16 am

no diet, pink. Just eating healthy. And 6 times a day. Am in therapy to learn to battle my eating disorder.

5:16 am

5:17 am

still send notes to my mom that I do not play well with others

5:17 am

do you go weekly too OO

5:17 am

yes, it took a while. At first I gained weight, lol. Body held on to everything it got and with eating 6 times a day that was more than it was used to. But it is normalising now.

5:18 am

*hands o-o all her Lego* Won't make you share, just be yourself and all is well.

5:18 am

and how about your sugar Sprite, hows it doing

5:18 am

after a couple of sessions ... they tell me I am not welcome any longer

5:18 am

5:19 am

I really hate it that that happens to you, o-o.

5:19 am

thats not nice at all OO

5:19 am

5:26 am

5:29 am

sprite did you get my email letter on the vitamin d?

5:29 am

how nice

5:30 am

yes pug, I did. Will get back to you after babble. Very good news :)

5:30 am

There is a wind blowing inside us, thru a wasteland of emptiness. We feel like useless seeds blown around the desert, without the possibility of germinating to fulfill our potential. Our nothingness is an internal vacuum with an insatiable appetite, a black hole at our core, threatening to suck everything else in. Our lives are essentially hollow, lacking inner strength and vigor. We seem to have lost our insides; our guts have been removed and discarded. The Void within gives a painful, drawn feeling to our faces. We know that we are doomed creatures, fighting hopelessly for life. The Existential Void is quicksand into which we sink ever more quickly. We know we should be doing something, but we don't know what. When we change our activities, hoping to escape the Void, the gnawing feeling of emptiness comes right along with us. The Void is a dis-ease of our depths, the distress of nothingness, a hollowness that threatens to engulf and dissolve the rest of our being. This internal Void threatens to consume us because our skin will become too thin to stand up all by itself. At best, we can isolate the Malaise, encapsulate the gnawing Void, before it devours our whole being and makes us disappear.

5:30 am

np--I was just wondering if it went through is all

5:31 am

wow... that expresses very clearly how it feels to live with a pd and depression, o-o.

5:32 am

did you write it yourself?

5:32 am

no

5:33 am

by all back to bed for me wishing you all peace and health

5:33 am

http://tinyurl.com/lgwtacs

5:33 am

and the same good wishes for you, pink. Sleep well and get better soon. *hug*

5:33 am

I dont like thinking about myself for I feel all that but since I found a higher power it has filled the void somewhat

5:34 am

bye Pink--take care of yourself

5:35 am

ah, from James Park. Amazing to see somebody express exactly what I have felt for so long and couldn't put in words.

5:35 am

OO, may I ask you---by reading all these things do they help you or do they put you in a darker place?

5:37 am

I know how much I have failed in things in my life and to reflex back on them is not a very happy time to remember

5:38 am

pug, my dear friend, I wish you didn't see yourself as failing at anything. You are beautiful and you give me a constant reminder of how important it is to keep our hearts open.

5:39 am

I have over 800 bookmarks dealing with emotional health. I too often have been told I do not understand ... I really, REALLY want to understand ... failing is not the problem ... quitting is

5:40 am

I dont dwell on it Sprite, but I do feel I have let my parents and God down in many things

5:40 am

Can't let god down

5:41 am

pug, if we people were meant to be perfect, we would have been created that way. We are allowed to slip up often. That is not failing. That is being human.

5:41 am

if anyone has been let down ... we have

5:41 am

o-o, if I know one person who is dedicated to understanding emotional health, it is you. And your research benefits us as well, since you share it so generously.

5:41 am

I dont see you as a quiter at all OO and Sprite no longer then Ive known you, you have exceeded alot on your path

5:42 am

Hi all :)

5:42 am

and I slipped up at least once for every step on the road, trust me.

5:42 am

we had no choice in the genetics wit received ... nor our upbringing

5:42 am

welcome back Liz

5:42 am

hiya Liz :) Peace to you and yours *hugs*

5:43 am

Hello all

5:43 am

Hi and Happy Holiday Lyn

5:43 am

Hi Sprite Lyn o-o and Pugs (again)

5:43 am

so true, o-o. We were all dealt a certain deal and we have to play with the cards we got. Which for some of us really really stinks.

5:44 am

Hope you've had a lovely day, Lyn.

5:44 am

Happy Christmas to those celebrating :)

5:45 am

Told you I'd be back, Pugs :)

5:45 am

left column lone e pls

6:31 am

Though, if my ex's girlfriend is in town and he brings her to my son's house, there could be big trouble as I will not tolerate that woman (considering they were "involved" BEFORE we split).

6:32 am

"let only those into your home that brings you joy.the rest can stay the hell out

6:32 am

I have that obne o-o but ty

6:33 am

ee 6/18

6:33 am

ty o-o

6:34 am

He doesn't understand why we can't be friends..hello? Not only were they seeing each other quite awhile before I left, she has proven herself to be a totally self-absorbed and insensitive witch (spell it any way you want) and none of our family wants her around. I warned him not to get me in a room with her or we were throwing down! Verbally, of course.

6:35 am

then,if I were your ex,i would respect that or if I were your son and hosting the get together,i would respect that. unless the ex gets cheap thrills from parading her around under your nose,but that is cheap

6:36 am

BTW, she was also married when they started seeing each other and stayed married for several years....reprehensible.

6:37 am

I know my son has no use for her as she has disrespected his wishes where his children are concerned. And none of us appreciate the way she treats my ex---we may not be married anymore but I will always love him and I want him to be happy...he never will be with her.

6:38 am

then the family should ask him not to bring her along since you all feel the same about her

6:38 am

she can stay home and have a nice tv dinner:)

6:39 am

He should have the sensitivity to understand that, crossy, but that is one reason we're divorced....with two hands and a flashlight he couldn't find a clue in that area.

6:41 am

Are you going to sing Christmas carols for your son?

6:42 am

Nope...they're not into my singing. Maybe my grandsons will be when they get older.

6:44 am

In any case, I think she's in Michigan with her family so it is a non-issue. I'd hate to turn Christmas into an uncomfortable experience for my family, although I think my children would actually enjoy hearing me rip her a new one!

6:45 am

well,if she is elsewhere then you are all set

6:46 am

Any special plans for you and your beloved today, crossy?

6:47 am

nope,mimi, tis a quiet day at home and I shall prepare a feast for dinner with all the trimmings

6:47 am

I have been carving pumpkins ... looking for some candles

6:47 am

carve candle shapes in it o-o and light it from within

6:48 am

Sounds good to me, crossy. I've had wonderful men in my life but just never quite found my soul mate....you are fortunate indeed. Maybe in my next life....

6:49 am

still time for a mr right to breeze into your life

6:50 am

saw on the news this couple who just got married,they are both in their 90,s

6:51 am

Nope...that door is sealed shut now. He'd have to break it down with a sledgehammer and most men aren't that ambitious or persistent.

6:54 am

I'm a very strong-minded (being kind to myself) woman but I admit I do miss pampering a man I love.

6:56 am

Got a new DVD that has 3 different fireplaces, lava blobs from a lava lamp, and an aquarium...my Pywakit cat is watching the aquarium now. He got a little tired of the hummingbirds after so many viewings. I'll like the fire one as I go to sleep---it's on a continuous loop so that will be nice.

7:04 am

This is a friendly grid so far...nice. I'm going to get a bit of work done this morning before getting ready to go to my son's. Have a very merry Christmas, everyone, and holiday hugs all around.

7:10 am

Merry Christmas to all...

7:18 am

bacon is a major force in the snack industry now - saw an amazing report on that last night. chocolate dipped???

8:33 am

Liz and I sent a very expensive box of chocolates to Maryanne (Vosges) and they also had chocolate covered bacon advertised

8:34 am

the sweet and salty combination actually compliment each other well

8:34 am

amazing. need to find and try some

8:35 am

think they mostly use sea salt

8:35 am

We stayed with the regular selection though

8:35 am

for those who love crossword puzzles and play on jigidi, I will be adding several of my own today. my user name is of course crosshair

8:36 am

Yes, crossy was a major catalyst for the recent shift in bacon-focused snack products. His one man efforts went viral and expoentially increased customer awareness. ;)

8:37 am

seems so:)) I was a lonely voice crying out in the wilderness 5 years ago

8:37 am

be back in a bit

8:37 am

cross i just saw an infomercial for some apparatus to make a 'bacon bowl'

8:50 am

lol, MLF, nevermind that junk, you can make bacon bowls with what you have on hand

8:51 am

first practice the bacon wave,then once you have that down, you can use a upsidedown 9 inch cake pan,a mini bundt pan or even those large size muffin tins to make bacon bowls

8:51 am

weave

8:51 am

Mornin' folks and a merry merry

8:53 am

Merry Christmas ,Bichon

8:54 am

I like to use a large muffing tin,the kind that makes just 6 jumbo muffins.just turn it upsidedown on a roasting tray and place your bacon weaves overtop

8:55 am

they make great cups to put salad in:)

9:00 am

saw that ad on tv as well and thought of you, crossy :-)

9:02 am

9:09 am

We are even going to the movies today. Seeing "The Hobbit" Part Deux

9:11 am

I wouldn't at home except chopped, but now I love it

9:11 am

my son and I used to go skiing on Christmas day in Binghamton. There was always snow and the slopes would be empty

9:12 am

I had a dream last night that my ninety year old mother wanted white fish and they didn;t sell it in Connecticut. But, I found a place in Simsbury

I think I have so much left-over food (it's horrible cooking for just two) that we could have another whole dinner

9:20 am

I don't know cigars.

9:21 am

sony and ch++ and a tree uses its **** system to get water

9:21 am

Leftovers are great. Food is better when re-heated.

TY for clue, Crossy. New word for me.

9:22 am

used to smoke them myself once upon a time

You were a cigar smoker crossy? I think my hubby once smoked a few

9:23 am

I prefer the smell of cigars to pipes

9:23 am

just the little thin tipped ones for a year or so,bichon

9:24 am

I prefer to be around no smoke at all. The people next door smoke outside their house. Yucky smell

9:24 am

Must have fun with life:)))

9:57 am

Place high-value tiles on blue and in a line with a pink tile, and make a word that can be read backwards too. Use high-value tiles as much as possible in multiple directions.

hello again

12:08 pm

Back for a little more fun

12:08 pm

Hi everyone

12:09 pm

Just been on the phone with my son for 1/2 hour. I snt him an electric mandolin for Christmas, but he hasn't opened it yet. I'm smiling just thinking about it

12:09 pm

Hello, Ruby & Bichon :-)

12:09 pm

It's funny because h posted something about Bach played on a mandolin on FB AFTER I had already ordered it.

12:10 pm

what is the re 5/12?

12:10 pm

That will be a nice suprise for him, Ruby :-)

12:10 pm

To do something again + plural

12:10 pm

don't know, bichon.

12:10 pm

ruby, you and DH are getting on better?

12:11 pm

yes, zzoozz, I think he'll be delighted. He has many guitars and a junky mandolin, so it should be a nice ift

12:11 pm

ty zooz

12:11 pm

you mean my husband???? It is quiet and I'm keeping him watered and fed, but that is basically a lost cause.

12:12 pm

Sorry to have asked ruby

12:12 pm

no, it's OK, I'm just happy that all is well with my boy because it was a little rocky last spring

12:13 pm

His job is very stressful and when he visited, I think he was just stretched too thin

12:14 pm

ruby, That's a great gift for your son.

12:14 pm

I have to tread a fine line with my son. He was under a lot of stress when he was up for pormotion

12:15 pm

*promotion

12:16 pm

re 6/18?

12:16 pm

bichon, that can be very stressful..I am assuming he got the promotion.

12:17 pm

re6----to rip again

12:17 pm

re + rip

12:17 pm

past tense

12:17 pm

Yes, he did and he's much easier to talk to now. And, best of all, hasn't asked for marital advice

12:18 pm

bichon, Then life is peaceful

12:18 pm

ty zooz and Annie

12:18 pm

whew.. I almost read that as a pornmotion

12:18 pm

hi ruru..merry christmas

12:18 pm

Teehee :-)

12:19 pm

very funny, LOL

12:19 pm

hi annie

12:19 pm

my son's job is very difficult for him. He is very well-paid but it goes beyond what he has ever done with information technology, taking him into finance his weakest area. And he works 60-70 hr weeks.

12:19 pm

and then plays with a band most weekends

12:20 pm

same with my son.

12:20 pm

But, he has a wife and kids

12:20 pm

That is a lot of hours.

12:20 pm

I'm tired just thinking about it!

12:20 pm

John just has a wife, no kids

12:20 pm

all work and no play...

12:20 pm

fireworks

12:20 pm

"just"?

12:21 pm

xo

12:21 pm

congrats annie

12:21 pm

is toochus a phantom? I'm not sure how to spell it lol

12:21 pm

Congrats, Annie!

12:21 pm

tuchus

12:21 pm

yay annie

12:22 pm

toochus is kim kardashian's butt

12:22 pm

ty, bichon, my Yiddish is a little rusty hahah

12:22 pm

LOL

12:23 pm

there is probably several variations on the spelling. In Hebrew, it's tachteet

12:23 pm

great word!

12:24 pm

once they start transliterating languages, spellings multiply

12:24 pm

I don't know why anyone would use any other word. There's also tushie

12:25 pm

I like tushie better

12:25 pm

also, I think that with Yiddish, since it was spoken in so many different countries, the language itself varied a lot from , say Polnd, to Lituanian et

12:25 pm

when I was little, ruru's word was for the front and tuchas was for the back

12:25 pm

but then.. i'm a little "behind" on the times :D

12:26 pm

Yes, I say poolkah for leg and my friend, who's father was from Germany said poolkies

12:26 pm

and I'm a little behind in general

12:26 pm

I thought the front was the pupick

12:26 pm

my mother said "poulkahs" )or something( for thighs

12:26 pm

*yiddish 101*

12:27 pm

I think pupick is belly button

12:27 pm

Yes, more like thighs than legs. What a chicken has that you eat

12:27 pm

exactly. This is very funny

12:28 pm

yes, it is the belly button, but how could a chicken have one?

12:29 pm

and what about gorgle?

12:29 pm

That's the neck bone

12:29 pm

I think they said pupick for the giblets

12:29 pm

I knew that

12:29 pm

You put it in the pot when making chicken soup

12:30 pm

I used the capon gorgle for making the gravy today (as well as the pupick)

12:30 pm

you need salt water for that Annie :D

12:30 pm

and helzel

12:30 pm

hetzel??

12:30 pm

What would the world be like without Yiddish?

12:30 pm

What's hetzel ruby?

12:31 pm

lots of salt when you kosher the chicken..that's why we all have hypertension

12:31 pm

It looks like we're having a Yiddish Christmas today?

12:31 pm

not in my shtetl

12:31 pm

LOL

12:32 pm

yes the whole misbukah is here

12:32 pm

When everyone else is having ham for dinner, we are eating pupick

12:32 pm

not hetzel, HELZEL....stuffed chicken neck

12:32 pm

Does anybody else have family from a shtel?

12:32 pm

bad eyes but no hypertension....

12:32 pm

How do you stuff a chicken neck?

12:32 pm

shtetl*

12:32 pm

Never had helzel. We're from eastern Europe

12:32 pm

very carefully

12:33 pm

with tweezers bzz :D

12:33 pm

My father's family owned a tavern in Boukivina

12:33 pm

remove skin very carefully from the gorgle...make stuffing, stuff neck, sew both ends and drop into chicken soup. Delicious.

12:33 pm

where, Bichon. My father's family came from Kanotop, a shtetl outside of Kie but my mother's family were "city folk" from Dnepropeetrovsk

12:34 pm

And fireworks for me..phew..time for a little drink...have a great day everyone..and happy holidays to all :-)

12:34 pm

same to you zooz.. have a nice day

12:34 pm

It's in the mountains in Ukraine near the Romanian border.

12:34 pm

Satut! zzoozz

12:34 pm

YAY for zooz...he wins the first helzel/

12:34 pm

bye zooz

3:28 pm

I'll check you both out - so to speak

3:29 pm

let me know if my piece count is too low,lynxx.i can add more if needed

3:30 pm

that is what I do not like with the side.when you crate a puzzle,it has a count slider for difficulty and not a piece total count

3:30 pm

site

3:30 pm

create

Just had a look. Can't play on the ipad :(

3:33 pm

It is saying you have not created any Cross - ?. However I only do ones 400+ and, perhaps stupidly, I pick very hard ones that take me hours.

3:33 pm

I just checked mine. they are created and showing in there

3:34 pm

my 2 are 125 and 190 ish

3:34 pm

like I say,was having difficulty with the slider

3:34 pm

130 and 192 respectivly

3:35 pm

if you wish,lynxx I can make you a nice 400+

3:36 pm

Can see Sp[rites pictures but it is saying you have not created any - did you 'open' them up so others could see/play them perhaps

3:37 pm

i will check again

3:40 pm

I am doing one by rabcarr - optical illusion - 540 pieces - so far has taken me about 8 hours and still going

3:40 pm

ok,check now ,lynx it is the 192 piece

3:40 pm

like i say,i am just figuring the site out a bit

3:41 pm

Yes, can see that now

3:41 pm

yaaa!

3:43 pm

ok,the 130 should be up.it is a very nice pic if i do say so myself

3:43 pm

3:43 pm

next time around,i will make some big ones

3:44 pm

5:22 pm

Hi Molly.

5:23 pm

11:22 pm

I am SICK of xmas music

11:22 pm

especially since it started here BEFORE halloween

11:23 pm

oh, yeah :) I've been listening to CDs instead of radio for the past month to avoid it

11:24 pm

it's unbearable

11:24 pm

i do love handel's messiah, i have to admit.

11:24 pm

I want to beat andy williams to a pulp

11:25 pm

andy williams?

11:25 pm

andy williams xmas songs.. ugh

11:25 pm

esp. that one part - unto us a child is given.... and his name shall be call-ed: etc....

11:26 pm

i sing along, and when it comes to specifically christian parts, i hum.

11:26 pm

andy williams makes bing crosby look like Keith Richards

11:26 pm

kind of silly

11:26 pm

can't stand bing

11:26 pm

christian parts?

11:27 pm

referrences to the messiah

11:27 pm

is that like chicken legs?

11:27 pm

i knew you were thinking in that direction...

11:27 pm

them parts

11:27 pm

LOL

11:28 pm

messiah .. smeshhiah

11:28 pm

do christians have different parts than atheists?

11:28 pm

even on the jazz stations i listen to it is all xmas.

11:28 pm

great question jes

11:28 pm

the choir of king's college, cambridge does it so beautifully

11:29 pm

they have wholy sceptors :D

11:29 pm

well some jews do....

11:29 pm

if you know hwat i mean

11:29 pm

hah.

11:29 pm

that comes with some circumspection mab :D

11:30 pm

i've only, amazingly, been to one bris in my life.

11:30 pm

i got woozy and had to sit on the porch with a little girl who was vomiting.

11:31 pm

I've never been to one

11:31 pm

LOL

11:31 pm

it is fairly primal

11:31 pm

it's like going to the barber

11:31 pm

take a little off the top

11:32 pm

do they strap you to a board at the barber and give you a little sip of wine?

11:32 pm

they should :D

11:32 pm

never seen one... not being much for religious ceremony I doubt I ever will.

11:33 pm

actually, it is painless, the bris. it's just sort of awful to witness someone being ritually cut.

11:33 pm

I would imagine

11:33 pm

or cut otherwise

11:33 pm

I have a hard enough time puckering up :D

11:33 pm

always, but once, i sit with the mom in a separate room.

11:35 pm

perhaps some day i will understand this strange covenant, but i doubt it.

11:36 pm

why not the tip of the little finger? or an earlobe?

11:36 pm

I doubt I'll ever go to one

11:36 pm

ok. chog killer. will take break now. you should go - interesting.

11:36 pm

i have a general distaste of modifying someone else's body without their permission/buy-in. Not that it's ever going to matter specifically in my life, because I have no intention of making babies!

11:38 pm

chog killer?

11:38 pm

i've been to a jewish wedding.. and I really enjoyed it

11:39 pm

a bris however..

11:40 pm

i doubt I'd be invited, and doesn't seem like the kind of party one crashes

11:41 pm

yeah .. what do you bring for gifts.. a box of band-aids?

11:41 pm

i don't even know if you are supposed to give gifts at a bris

11:42 pm

gives a whole new meaning to the "head of the table"

11:42 pm

i do know that i generally prefer the aesthetics of un-cut adults, but obviously that's personal preference

11:44 pm

I didn't have a whole lot of choice in the matter :D

11:44 pm

yeah, see, and i don't like that. i wouldn't pierce a baby's ears either - let them decide when they are old enough to consider it.

11:45 pm

how are you on waxing the eyebrows of babies jes :D

11:46 pm

(ala kim kardashian)

11:46 pm

i have to say that i have never actually considered that as a thing to do

11:46 pm

apparently kim kardashian's mom has

11:46 pm

whatever her name is

11:46 pm

ah - i am blissfully and dedicatedly ignorant of most of the doings of anything kardashian.

11:47 pm

I am too.. although I watch it for a few when channel surfing

11:47 pm

I have never seen more self-absorbed .. banal, boring people on tv

11:48 pm

hah. i've heard several similar things

11:49 pm

maybe Iylanna on Oprah

11:49 pm

is as boring and grating

11:50 pm

have never even heard of lylanna

11:50 pm

it's a good thing I've never been on her show

11:52 pm

why's that?

11:54 pm

she does this excercise with string for couples.. (mrs ru watches the show) I would tell her (Iylanna) to shove it up her ***

only a woman would think a circumcision painless

11:57 pm

string exercise? like cat's cradle?

11:57 pm

you'd have to watch a show if you could bear it jes

11:57 pm

197

11:57 pm

no tv, ruru.

11:58 pm

86

11:58 pm

11:58 pm

11:58 pm

11:58 pm

11:58 pm

536

11:59 pm

that's much better....

11:59 pm

489...hi all

11:59 pm

HI everyone. I have 153 words left to find; but reading the chog is why I spoke upI was once a Charge Nurse in a newborn nursery back in the very early 70's and they did lots of circs. back then. Those babies cried! A LOT!

11:59 pm
