{{{{dee}}}},and cooee and g'day from me
Hope you had a good weekend!
i did so, have a good weekend that is.how has yours been, dear?
Really nice. My daughter had a bridal shower here on Saturday for about 25 ladies... She did a brunch... really nice time.
oh, how lovely, dee. about what age group?
this is a much friendlier grid than last one
14 to 80's... family, friends, some girls the bride-to-be babysat for when she was young... I love multigenerational gatherings
about 100 words friendlier, flosey
indeed
definitely agree, flosey, but getting stuck with 35 left right now :)
I have 59 to go
dee, how wonderful. i love that sort of get-together. it is always so interesting.
brb, shopping coming in the door. going to help put it away.
Definitely, rose! Heard lots of sweet stories about the bride. Everyone shared a favorite verse for her and told why it was a favorite; then we wrote them in a journal for her to keep to show her hubby... really sweet stories.
have fun
Greetings Friends
hi pugs
Hello Flosey
how are you tonight, pugs
hi pug
I am fine, thanks and you?
Hi Dee, sounds like you had a nice week end
lovely, thanks, pug :)
had a lovely day, thanks Pugs - that is, after I finished that last grid!!
it was a bugger
no better way to describe it, Dee
lol
{{hugs}}miz pugs. i emailed you, hun.
Hi and hugs Rose--and I got it and will try to find that
thank you
hope it helps hun. does it sound like it might?
ra 7
you think that is causing my back problem---I will try it anyway, cant hurt, can it
not at all, hun. i think it might be a big contributing factor, pugs. that and the stress.
frustrating phantom. Thought I had achieved on----- with the babble universe, but it was only an illusion.
dee, did you find the 9 yet, hun? 'cos i have it.
awww, poor jwr....and i so wanted messenger....:-(
I have all the 8's and the 9... down to 26
well done, dee.
thx
getting ready to check lickety
i missed some really dumb plurals.
pug, don't know what your back problems are but that usually involves the spine, and THAT always worsens with stress -- and may not go away (despite therapy & medication & surgery) unless the stress itself is treated. I'm sure you know it's a factor - but personally and professionally I can tell you it's a biggie.
thank you jwr
yw pug, for what it's worth. Good luck.
gran - thanks soooo much for giving me another phantom to haunt the grid. ... And I've had to convince myself that - in Babble at least - there is no such thing as a dumb word.
lolol, jwr. np's, always a pleasure to entertain you.
<<applause for granny>>
perhaps the word i should have used is 'obvious' plurals
um - something else that doesn't exist in Babble -- at least, not for the first ten years
As usual, only get to sit on the griddle for a short while, then back to work. Happy night, all.
night jwr
ugh, jwr. hope the rest of the night is good. hurry back so4

en5, what nurses give to patients to help with constipation
Ditto, dear.
peach, doing okay. have upped the an4 in the pool. now working with full set of weights around ankle, and doing a lot of exercises just using the right leg.
Sounds good, Rose. You have been through some really tough times.....but you are a fighter and I know you will make it.
thanx for those words, peach. it's nice to have my efforts acknowledged.
Rose, going to lay down for a couple of hours before work,, so hugs and bye and if Sprite comes on give her my love--night
Sweet dreams, puglet.
okay, pugs. hope you catch some good zzzzz'z.
zooz?? you here??
Yep :-)
lol, hey ya mate....was lonely...lol
How are you?
are you okay, mate?
Sorry I saw the time of the last post and just assumed no one was here..lol
Glad you are OK
I am well thank you :-)
huh....worked out in the pool with full weights and increase in exercises using just the right leg. was sore this AM. doing well now...hurrah for pain killers.
I bet you were..How is work going..still doing a couple of hours?
weather all good over there? cold and wet here...:-(. still cold is good.
No I hate cold..lol
yeah, mate. 90 minute shifts for another 2 weeks. i am ready to go ahead. hopefully GP agrees.
wet not good...have tulip bulbs i need to plant out...lol...cold okay, just not wet...
That is good, Rose, I am so glad you are getting there.
zooz, how's the mother?
Mother is OK as she has some of us around her..We are getting the ashes on the 24th of this month..We have prepared a lovely area for him to rest. So mother is pleased with that..thanks for asking :-)
zooz, i feel i have turned the corner...looking forward to work...and totally willing to increase hours.
That is good news, Rose, I bet it seems an age since you last worked full hours..lol
poor zooz's mum. if it is appropriate, zooz, please let her know she is in my prayers. if it's okay, mate, may i know her name? you can email me. and my lips would be sealed.
No problems, Rose, My mother is called, Judy :-)
okay, zooz. thanx, mate
Bloody babble freeze.
I told my mother that the babble sends their condolences and that they have been very supportive..I told her that Molly, had put a candle as her icon..My mother was greatful.
Community.
sorry, zooz. my last post got lost in cyberspace. have just inhaled dinner....lol...as nurses do..
You will get a stitch if you eat your meal to fast as you well know young lady *Stern look*
How is your husband these days? Still doing DIY?
nah....body used to it...one of 5 siblings...that was the quick and the dead i can tell you, at the dinner table....
clues for the gn 6/24 would be greatly appreciated!
*giggle* if he ever gets off his bum...
G + what you smell with
plural of what you smell with sorry.
g + smelling organs. ( note plural)
of my! monkeys didn't even try that one...thanks granny!
and zooz, ddb....he was 1st, dear
Does it get very cold where you are, Rose?
thanks zooz...didn't see yours but very grateful for the help!
It is no problem, nana :-)
usually cold enough. sometimes ice very thick on the windscreen of the car. sometimes snow...
wow I thought you were in the zone where it could get nippy but nnot really really cold!
but having said that....snow se6 very late this year. i am thinking the snow resorts will be counting the pennies carefully this year.
go north, young man, go north.
Not good for them no. We did not get any snow this winter just gone here..In fact I am sure we only had a couple of frosty days.
I am thinking of moving to a hotter country when I retire as I really do not like the cold weather.
beware, zooz. warmer countries have more violent weather during the warmer months. please do your homework carefully. you are precious to us.
Aww thanks, Rose, I will plus I can not retire for another 16 years so I have plenty of time to work out the best place..lol
lolol, all good then, mate
Going to be very hard..Hate large creepy crawlies anything poisonous..don't like heights, Not keen of fishy foods like lobster, crabs, muscles, squid, etc..lol
roflol...lots of research to be done then...
as for the DIY...have told don...once it's done, i want to stay here and use it for a few years, to appreciate it...
Alas I now need to get going and get some things done. Have a wonderful nights sleep, Rose, And a great day for tomorrow..Hope to see you soon ((Rose)) Toodle pips for now!
good morning everyone:))
toodle pip zooz...and g'day crossy
zooz, rose; both of you move up here with crossy:))
you have not lived untill you have gotten out of a warm bed and it is minus 40f outside and the car is frozen solid
(we have block heaters to keep the oil in car from freezing)
i shall teach you how to make igloo:))
want us to bring the weather with us, crossy?
lol, you get too warm in summer, rose. perhaps some of zooz's temperatures in winter time
i am content with 20c (68-70 f) all year long if i can get it
awww, crossy. would do you good to work up a sweat....roflol
i am cooked if it gets over 80f:(
hello? I don't know what time it is in here
howdy ((ruby))
hah! {{rosie}} {{crossy}}
g'day ruby, sweetie {{hugs}}
06;48 EST here
so about noonish over there
8:49pm here. take your pick...
in here? who knows! it is martini time!
oh, i like your style, crossy...
Our weather is perfect! Sunny in the daytime and maybe 80F and chilly at night. And maybe this year my figs will make it to ripeness, in which case, there will be about 300!
It is always mrtini time somewhere
egad, ruby...what are you gonna do with them all?
probably make myself sick and give some to the nieghbors
I have been hunting the woods and nooks and crannies for gooseberries:( found mint, dill, asparagus and a few weeks ago some nice fiddleheads
I love sharing fruit
The only thing I don't share is currant jelly because I make it for me and it's too much work to share
figs are good for the bowels, ruby. give some to mr nasty. maybe he will s**t out all his nastiness.
Are they the asparagus with small heads? They actually sell those in our big vegetable market as having been picked in the forests of France
these have what i would call medium sized head (about 1 inch across)
stalks about 8-12 inches at harvest
Are the stalks tender? These wild ones only need to be cooked for 3 or 4 minns
do not care for the stuff myself, but i use it in traDE
get 8 inch ones and they are tender
husband never liked them, but now he does
I trade them at the farmers market for bacon and my favorite jams and jellies
if you are talking asparagus, i'm in...lol
Corssy love apple jelly and apple butter
will fight burt...hand to mouth if necessary...
lol
the fiddleheads are interesting; steamed, they taste like brussel sprouts
naughty burt, sit in corner, asparagus ALL rose's.
though the season is but two weeks and they are gone till nexy year
I know about fiddleheads, but have never had one.
young or old brussel sprouts?
Rose, trust me, when yu visit, there'll be plenty for both of you
young, the nice small brussel snouts
crossy, can they not be preserved...in brine? freezing?
they can be frozen, but i find it is not the same as fresh
<-- loves brussel sprouts, but I twice-cook them, boil them first 'til they're dead, then sauté them with olive oil, butter and garlic.
what about bottling just in water?
they are a thing to love for the moment, give thanks and wait for next year
They probably lose all their food value but are delish
ooohhhh, ruby....you have won....
I like your twice cooked method, ruby
*wipes drool off keyboard*
I put the frozen ones in a sock and carry it for protection.
only thing i would add to ruby's method is maybe a nice, velvety cheese sauce
We both like well-done vegetables. I so broccoli a, brocollini and cauliflower the same way.
We both like well-done vegetables. I so broccoli a, brocollini and cauliflower the same way.
I guess anything friend with garlic and butter tastes good
just add bacon bits
:)
(bad typing) fried*
Burt thinks they're lo-cal because they don't have meat lol
not to worry, ruby; I can read typo
good morning all- glad it is a good sized grid today- should be able to finish off and on lol. signed in yesterday- then had to leave- but the day was too nice to be indoors :-)
my second language
howdy, wolvie
hello wolvie
yesterday was amazing here as well. My beloved and i did a nice 3 k hike:)
nice! i bet that was great :-) i was in my garden all day - much fun :-)
a perfect life is a home library and a garden
someone famous said that but i cannot be bothered citing it:)
YES!! lol
and dogs!
couldn't do it without dogs
oh yes- Ruby- lol- how could i forget? gotta have my doggies and kitties :-)
Good morning
morning sukee :-)
hello sukee
g'day wolvie. o-o, are you talking about frozen brussle sprouts, asparagus or fiddleheads? if brussel sprouts i am with you. if asparagus, i am agin you. if fiddleheads, i don't know..
g'day sukee
we have our three kitties
howdy, sukee
I try to eat what's seasonal and French, if possible. I don't like encouraging them to bring produce fro Sou. America although the only okra I can get comes from Venezuela
You can get asparagus from Peru in winter, but I refuse
morning Rose :-)
and o-o :-)
our weather is crazy. our apple orchardists are producing a second crop....in winter...
and the roses are trying to bloom again, and the daffodils and jonquils are trying to come up as well.
that's funny, rose, but I keep my roses blooming by trying to pinch off all the spent flowers. I can't quite keep up tho]
that is climate change for you. some areas will be colder, some warmer, etc- but change for sure.
lol, wolvie, as hubby said, if i wanted to live in the tropics, i would have moved north..
lol rose. back in a bit- grabbing breakfast before it runs away
so wolvie, is it climate change which is perfectly normal, or is it global warming...man induced?
last year here, winter ended so early(mid march) we had two full hatchings of mosquitos. was not a good thing:(
so far, even with the too-warm winter, no mosquitos
lots of ticks, however
ugh, crossy. not good at all.
global warming. causing climate change to accelerate. caught that muffin fast here :-)
though this winter just past was more normal
it kills me that deniers say because some areas are colder that it cant be global warming lol. they dont understand weather patterns.
okay, wolvie, can accept that, hun...
and you want to see the horrors of global warming on a more personal level? Just go to our north land above the treeline. it is an utter disaster!
and the ice is melting.....
us canucks see it every day
and the only polar bears left will be in zoos
great big fields of muddy sinkholes where permafrost used to be, making the land useless
the thing is- everyone has to see it- not just america, canada, etc. otherwise it will just spiral on. maybe slower- but- it will just keep on chugging.
perhaps darwinism at work :D
agreed, wolvie
ut it's happening very fast and relentlessly
what does the 9 start with please?
as we speak we are fighting the russians for northern shipping channels that have never, ever been open to ship routing before
or even the 8's....
lol ruby- those too
the idea of the Russians "coming over the top" is terrifying
Especially when crazy Putin is in charge :)
well, they can now do it, where before we had natures help to keep them off our top
putin riding his horse over :-)
hopefully, he'll do it too soon and will fall through the ice!
okay, friends and relatives....oh...no-one is a relative...okay...friends...have just taken my night-time meds. if i fade out...it's their fault..
:-) good nite in advance rose
bad meds! lol Sweet dreams rosie
loooove night meds...i can forget everything...roflol
do i have permission to tontine himself if he starts at 3am again?
anything started at 3AM needs to be squshed/!
oh my.... roflol....ruby you are so forceful...
lol- whatever that is - i say yes
small but powerful!
wolvie...tontine is a brand of pillow over here...to tontine someone is to apply a pillow over ....
ahhh- lol. ty much.
I hear a very large bird outside the studio. Do owls come out in daytime?
tontine is also an agreement where the last man standing takes it all
*sending a tontine pillow over to wolvie*
oh- ty for that Ruby- i didnt know that either :-)
ty- rose- can use a new pillow
:-)
wolvie, you will never know when it will come in handy.
It can apply to property and inheritance or to businesses
my husband doesn't dare disturb me, once I fall asleep!
but those 3 AM squishes are choice. so that is cool :-)
hmmm, interesting, ruby. *remind me* do not settle in france...
He takes naps several times a day, but I can't do that
I think they come from English law, rosie, lol
me neither, ruby. but don drops off and has a lovely catnap...
and the 8's and 9? anyone have stats?
I have to take my Xanax and then do babble grids in my head to fall asleep

np's wolvie. i hope your day is kind to you
lolol. TO, don't get the two chores mixed up....
see you all tomorrow.
oh, granny, no chance of that. i am frustrated with this broken toe, i guess it will hurt for another week at least.
ugh, TO. a broken toe!!! the saying is so true. nothing stands out more than a sore toe...you poor dear. xoxox
ty. i just want to be healed by the 27th
and the question begs to be asked....how did you break your toe?
he said follow up by the next week if not better
moving banquet chairs two at a time, they tipped over.
oh dear....and you have learned??? no, don't answer that....i so feel for you..
off to class for crossy. tc all and happy babbling!.. poink!
ty. still have some swelling after 10 days. and i still wear the shoe although he said only a week. the shoe makes it hurt more when i walk.
have a good day
because i have no se5 of pain, i am constantly losing toe-nails due to stubbing my toes. it is always so surprising to me to see a blackened toe-nail.
enjoy your day, crossy, mate
good morning all
help with the 8's pls

ty rose
sa8, sa4, property of being not different + loch **** monster

np's peri...xoxox
granny, the toe is cracked in place, no bone shift. i am hoping it will heal in a month
wondering how long psin will last, still some swelling
*sigh* of relief, TO. your hopes are my hopes.
TO, are you elevating the foot as much as you can?? and ice/cold packs are also highly recommended...
i want to be able t o dance in two weeks if only a few dances.
granny, i hought ie pakcs are of no use after the first two days?
ice/cold packs for about 10-15 minutes at a time, whatever you can tolerate, TO
TO, ice packs useful for whenever they give relief.
even 10 days later?
ty, grannyrose. i think i am going to dry that hair and begin the day. nice to see you.
yes, dear. just make sure it is 10-15 minutes in the hour.
it is 6 months since my surgery...the relief from ice packs is still incredible.
acckk. just realised it is almost 10:30pm...i am thinking it is time for me to lie down, and let sleep overtake me.i hope all who follow enjoy the grid. xoxox
good moring babblers
morning, Annie!
Hi Babs1 :)
so many double consonant words makes me dizzy :-)
gm, everyone, anyone have a clue for the ge6/7?

oops, sorry. Just in for a short moment, seeing how many words I can find...
hello, a ll
good morning all
Hi Owl, teach, phand
hi annite
Owl, is your toe healing?
Hi, Annie. Bye. I am off to get my day running now. Poof
aniie, i hope so...still hurts and some swelling.
I once broke my small toe and it hurt badly..hard to walk..took a while to get better, about a month
When I broke my toe, it took over six weeks to heal and stop hurting.
morning, Molly
Good morning, people of Earth.
oh my! did both of you have nreaks that had to be aligned?
Not mine, Owl
Hello Judi
Not mine either
*pictures toe Alignment Shops*
good moning, ruru
*This lil Piggy Toe Alignnents*
There is nothing they can do for a broken small toe. It heals in it's own time.
Hi Annie
This little piggy went SNAP!
i think they are called podiatrists
*shudder*
did you both have cracks or actual breaks?
stats for the 3rd column T pls?
Mine was broken. The toe next to the pinky toe.
Owl, I had a fracture
mine behind nail near top. at least not at joint
never mind
nbt
down to one j to finish them.
My break was right across the joint, ergo the discomfort was on the high side.
oh, that must have been just awful. took about 6 weeks to heal?
just reading that hurts
very interested in healing time.
Six weeks more or less. I think there was some permanent nerve damage, it still doesn't feel "right".
stubbed it?
*passess toe glue to injured parties*
Caught it on the leg of a chair going around a corner too fast.
:) judi, i am looking for ways around that 495 mess. i think that 202/rte1 wastried last saturday
202 is pretty congested, TO. Maybe jump over the Del Memorial bridge and go north up the Jersey side.
More tolls that way though.
ty. thinking 78/81/83.
is en 8 a plural?
yes, fan
owl can you clue the en 7 please?
*shrug* Damned if you, damned if you don't. There is no good detour.
For me, anything with less traffic is a good detour.
Rent a helicopter!

by the tribe clue
The Iroquois nation also appears from time to time -- it has a c instead of the g

YAY jilly!!!
stidmama and Jilly and penquis all at once! hello friends
How are you enjoying having your own place again stid?
well hello!
and saanichcat too. How are you ?
excellent , and your good self?
Stid are you living in Residence now? Is the flag raised? Big hug
I am happy. I am having fun planning house renovations. It is distracting me from all the other stuff I am supposed to be doing
bugs, good! I just finished a nasty reno and it, after 3 years is OVER!
Oh my! How much did you do?
Hey all, was lost in the grid. My computer died so trying to do things on the ipad only. Works, but slower.
He stid. I just got myself and iPad yesterday. When I learn how to do it, apparently we can talk on Facetime.
We have been home since the evening of the 30th... Finished teaching and cleaning up Thursday, and sick with the school-shared virus ever since. Otherwise... Things are moving along even if slower pace
A tenant who had been living here did a bunch of stuff like ripping out drywall puttting in a kitchen, and a toilet and forgot to put a gasket under the toilet and I ended up with black mold. Had to rip the basement to bare concrete etc and throw out half my stuff. Among other things.
I was hoping you were over that virus. Too bad
Hmmmm. Yes, we can! :-D that will be fun. How are you otherwise? Leg healing again?
((stiddy)))!! , ((sanchii)) and ((bugs))
hey Jilly!
Oh no Saanich! Those are the kind of stories that have made me never want to rent a place I own.
Hooray for renovations being done! Your home is so lovely, Saanich, I am glad it is better now.
yup.
*sends waves and hugs to Jilly*
Hey jilly
sorry to miss your congrats stid...went to FB LOL
Thanks Stid, when you came, the "undernesth" stuff was done. Since then, trees have been cleared - I can see the water!!
The leg wont heal stid until they do more surgery to take the metal out. I am on a waiting list but it could take forever. Hence the distraction with adding an ensuite bathroom and making our bedroom bigger so you can get to both sides of the bed by wheelchair if needs must.
And I was given 10 foot davidson rowboat which came yesterday! So, out into the Inlet, hurray. When you next come we can dawdle along the shore
Bugs, looks like Grant could have graduated with his class after all.... He had more than enough outside hours of TKD to make up for any missing PE credits. So good news is I think he is done with high school. We just needto wait for his school counselor to return from vacation and finish the paperwork.
Water s good!
LOL. I remember talking with you about the bedroom last summer, Bugs! Do you havethe Houzz app for your ipad? I still love looking at the daily ideabooks.
we just had a huge HUGE earthquake
I didn't realize that he didn't graduate. You mean they wouldn't let him in the ceremony, right?
the whole place shook and boomed
right now saanich? Nothing up here
I haven't been out rowing in a few years...
Oh boy saanich. All OK?
it was about 1:41 pm
I love rowboats. Saanich may be heading out to the water now to avoid any aftershocks........ be safe
Looks like a 3.0 from the usgs website. 13 miles from vic. Right under you!
LL IS WELL, AND BUGS YOU ARE RIGHT, IT'S THE AFTERSHOCKS I WORRY ABOUT. AND AS STID KNOWS, A LOG HOUSE WITHSTANDS QUAKES WELL oops soory re caps
Wow saanichcat! Any damage?
Nope. All is well. No more worries.
Correct, no ceremony because he needed less than a quarter's time of PE.
But he had more than enough time from taekwondo, just they didnt want to accept it at first. I am glad the counselor checked the rules again.
High school's can get so confused with grad students. My grandson's parent got all kinds of orders and requests for their boy to graduate and at the last minute the school said, Too bad,,, Not enough credits.
I hate aftershocks. This house will be different in a quake, it qon't flex because of the concrete base. But it should stand up okay.
Is he upset about missing the ceremony? I didn't go to either my highschool or university grad ceremonies.
Must be frustrating for all of you stiddy
How's the moving in going stiddy?
I have never been in one where my hose actually shook, unusual for here, usually I hear big booms
I have had the house shake but nothing fell off the shelves.
Unpacking now, jilly. So many boxes to sort through from before the fire, so much to throw away that was ruined. It will take me longer than I had hoped, I thought I could do three boxes a day, but two might be my limit.
I don't think you will even notice any aftershakes with only 3.2. I am sure you are safe.
Oh stid, what a job.
He is not upset. We were there to cheer on his friends, and it was nice to get the running commentary from him... I didnt go to my college graduations, but my parents made me do the high school one. Hated it, of course.
Guess it's good that school is done for now
Bugs, I'm rarely worried about these little ones and if it's a big one then no more worries for me forever!
Good attitude saanich. I like the little ones because I figure they take more pressure off in order to prevent the Big One.
Did my HS graduation, but not my college, I was at an extended campus, would have had to drive 6 hours and it conflicted with my then fiancee's graduation. But we had a local "Pinning Ceremony" and that's what really matters to an RN
but because of the noise and shaking, it seemed larger, but as stid said, it was right underneath. So whether it was tectonic or whatever, I don't know,
Well, gotta head out to clean house..happy babbling all!! *poof*
Later jilly
later Jilly
Have a wonderful day Jilly
and I am back to the grid and good to see you friends! bye for now
I am not fond of earthquakes, but we have been through several decent sized ones. Since there is no way to anticipate, we just try to have supplies on hand and not panic. That is one of my chores in the next coule weeks, sorting through what is where and getting the generator tuned in case.
Later saanich
I am poofing too so I can tidy the garden a bit. Hugs to you both
bye for now bugs
Bugs i am going to try to call tou pn factime. If the ipad rings, it is me
Didnt work. Will try again another day.
Enjoy the garden, it s still stormy here with thunder and rain.
I haven't got it hooked up yet stid. It is sunny here for a minute
Love to mr bugs.
Halfway, taking a break. Back later to finish... Or not! *poof*

the plurals killed me in this one
plurals everywhere
that's what i said last night, i missed so many obvious plurals....how are you tonight,ruru?
ok.. how's you?
I almost forgot to finish the grid.. not a good sign
doing better, thanx.
dart would have been elated
great.. good for you
swelling down?
over-tired or over-stressed? or both?
not over tired.. but not at my best right now
yes, at least until next friday when i have hydro again.
I'm never having my knees done
:D
please know i care, but am holding back from asking obvious questions of you.
thanks..sure. I know
ruru, the first was a walk in the park, so to speak. the revision is the killer for me, plus i have fibromyalgia and central sensitivity syndrome.
I have central sensitivity too.. but it's probably not the same thing :D
if i hadn't fallen i would probably be back to jogging at the least by now.
jogging? are you nuts?
*giggle* naughty boy....you men are all the same...
well i was back to being able to kneel, and i was walking very fast, almost power walking. and i could run at work when i had too.
wow.. i'm a looooong way from that
I slept for almost 9 hours last night
where's your buddy worzel?
MIA methinks
well that's what a good replacement does for you, ruru. you just have to dig in, do the rehab. and work that joint until it acts like a real one.
umm, no. he and the girlfriend have split. he doesn't have internet access at the moment.
oh.. really
she's been around
Did the Bi-sexual thing not work for her after all?
i haven't seen her in here. she must come on later than i do.
don't know, ruru. i didn't want to pry. she will tell me when she is ready, if at all.
I can't imagine it working out .. would be hard
it takes all kinds in this crazy world, ruru. i try my best to live and let live.
*no comment*
I tend to only trust the established long time players here nowadays
pretty much the only thing i find really difficult to cope with is incompetence.
and I have good reason to think that way
fair enough ruru.
mmm.. I am surrounded by incompetence in this business.. that i'm in
there are many players who feel the same way, ruru.
i'm sure.. once burned and all that
*giggle* do you lose it? or you so tolerant you can take it in your stride?
I have to take it in stride.. I'm now a dinosaur in my biz.. and I refuse to change with the times.
I just have to go for another 5 years and I'm home free
lolol....fangless dinosaur....that's you
so much to do.. and work is holding me back
well i have 2 years, 9 months to go. but i'm not counting...
:D
I hope to teach again if I can.. that was more rewarding
*exploding with laughter* and don is giving me that look again. thanx, mate
what did you teach, ruru, and at what grade level?
I taught for UC Berkeley..
Extension courses .. often to professionals, other professors, and etc
was really a great experience
teaching is a lot of work however .. lots of preparation
ahhh, like my younger bro'. he taught the lecturers what to teach the uni students.
these were wine courses
about the prep, so i gather from stidmama.
my bro' is one of THOSE people...so clever they lose touch with reality. he can physically build a computer, writes the programs, and i've forgotten how many computer languages he knows. it's just staggering.
You could be like the old, old-timers at university who only had the one set of lectures on paper so old it looked like pirate paper, ruru
lol, bugs....
how are you, dear? are you coping well?
But when you have willing students it is much less preparation because you don't have to handle behaviour problems.
*looks for eye patch*
I am well thanks granny.
I had more than willing students..
My classes sold out in less than 4 days
roflol, i bet, ruru. especially when it came to the tasting...
that's the best part..
Plus I was a funny lecturer. .so people came for the show
I am distracting myself from waiting and indefinite time for another surgery by planning to renovate the bedroom and add an ensuite, hoping the surgery won't happen until everything is done.
I was imagining you as a funny lecturer ruru. Why wait another 5 soul-sucking years to be happy?
you haven't healed up right bugs?
I have to make a living bugs.. Berkeley doesn't pay enough to live :d
I will try to go back to it when i'm 65
All that can heal has healed but it seems I am allergic to the metal they installed so I have to have it taken out. The ankle is still elephant sized and I limp.
ouch.. sorry
I hope I never break any bones
I think I made like $300 a class.. Berkeley was raking it in :D
I am sorry you have to do it for a while more. I knew when I was I was done and it was not worth the extra few dollars on my pension to stick it out for another 5 years so I retired at 60. Best decision I made.
Can you offer Ruru's Private Classes to the extremely wealthy but ignorant? I am sure there would be lots of those in California.
You could hob-nob with the rich and famous but stupid!
don't be silly bugs, they would be to stupid to laugh at his puns. and you know how that makes our ruru feel.
You could make $300/class from each student.
I was hoping they would only be stupid about wines like most of us but you have a point. We must coddle poor ruru.
He would be rich if he charged for every recommendation he gives to fellow Babblers!
you mean buff up his ego....lolol
there really isn't such a thing about being stupid about wine..
that's not what needs buffing granny :D
well, how about it, ruru? why don't you go private? would it take a lot to get set up?
I raise my hand an beg to differ, ruru. You haven't met me yet. I just know what I like but I will drink almost anything.
someone hand me the rubber gloves, ruru needs buffing....lol
knowing what you like is more than half the battle.. I know what i'm talking about.. wine shouldn't be intimidating.. its food
and lots of soapy water...
LOL.. and some elbow grease
No help from me Granny, you are on your own for this one.
I don't believe in snobbism in wine.. there's no place for it
That attitude is why you would make such a great teacher, ruru. People always like to learn from someone who doesn't shame them.
chicken, bugs...lol...he just a big teddy bear, aren't you, ruru?
i'm no teddy bear.. but I'm a nice guy
He just brings out the worst in people by getting us to behave badly in public. I find it quite fun!
Don sounds like a teddy bear
can't be the worst if it's that easy to bring out bugs :D
*sigh* you're not wrong, ruru. he is the most cuddly person i know.
when I come up there Bugs.. we'll have a wine class
I'll be up this next year. I'm getting my passport now
I promised to cook a meal for everyone at Jilli's house
I have been looking forward to that for a long time, ruru but you have been getting your passport for months. Jilli had to go down there she was so anxious to meet with you.
I get my photo and pay for it on the 27th..
I will be at Jilli's house for that meal even if my surgery happens.
I just cooked for 12 in New York in a teeny tiny kitchen and put out a great meal
She will be pleased. Her home is lovely and the gardens it the middle of an oak forest just make it superb.
I just love her.. what a great lady she is
My house is so tiny when we met here we had to have a BBQ and buffet so all of us could find a spot to sit.
I had to moisturize after every dry comment she made :D
Yes, she and I had a lot of fun travelling together to the meet at Stidmama and Stidgemere's place. The border guards thought we were hilarious.
she is a hoot that one.. omg she was hysterically funny
I must remember to be on my toes though because I am not the Royalist that she is. I don't want to insult her by mistake.
when does the weather get good up there May?
I will fly into Vancouver I think.. and drive up from there
I am sorry to have interrupted your conversation with Granny. I hope she has not gone for good.
you didn't .. granny is in and out at this time of night..
she pops back and forth as she sees fit
May is a crapshoot lately. It can be lovely or just continues to rain just to make everyone complain about how their gardens are getting ruined.
are you finished bugs.. do you need help with anything in the grid?
I tend to bring good weather with me :D
I have 12 left. lots are plurals I'm sure.
plural everything .. then you'll be done
Oh please bring the good weather!! I love summer after months of rain and cloudy skies.
hint for the last go word, please.
most of thin thread.. and "dear" in Japanese
or not stops and the city near where I live SF
Google says there are too many forms of dear for me to bother with.
oh bugsaw-san
got it before I saw that.
naneo yate Maska
I never knew than was what the san meant, I just knew they stuck on everything.
dear one
ru-san
:D
*lurkers are choking right about now*

there's a to 4/4
last sa4, to be cheeky, impudent
last sa.. to talk back to someone
something I NEVER do :d
*blows kisses to ruru* ;-P
I am done now, just in the nick of time. I forgot to add the s to s as you suggested earliers
*listens in on Lurker room*
congrats bugs.. just in time
WTG BUGSAW!!!!
Glad you were not driven off granny. I always enjoy your company.
nah, bugs, i don't like to interrupt when others are visiting.
it should help me stats that have taken a huge nose dive in just a few days
I'll interrupt anybody around here granny
