2:22 am

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend. It was lousy. Bad dreams, waking up with a horrible headache, blech.

2:22 am

how was your day?

2:23 am

ugh, you poor sweetheart. i went back to hydro this afternoon. it was okay in the water, but since coming home it hurts. :-(

2:23 am

to be expected, but decidedly not fun :( *healing vibes for your soreness*

2:24 am

thanx sweetie. i wish i knew what would help your brain to turn off. you haven't had an upset with the boyo have you?

2:26 am

btw, those 2 links you sent me about the tulips. the second one gave me the info i needed. apparently i lift the bulbs when the leaves go yellow.

2:26 am

no, not at all. It is simply part of ptsd. A chance remark or even thought can trigger old traumas.

2:27 am

awesome :D That is good information. And then save them in a fridge, never even would have thought about that myself, lol.

2:27 am

if i let the leaves die and are absorbed into the soil, they poison the bulbs.

2:28 am

lol and we never bother with that at all, let the leaves be absorbed and all. A different climate definitely requires a different treatment.

2:30 am

and the second link tells me how to grow tulips all year round as house-plants. i never thought of that.

2:30 am

:D glad those links were so informative.

2:34 am

Qs quilled

2:35 am

just printed off the link, it was so informative.

2:36 am

qu7 is weird. i thought that it was a spanish/mexican word.

2:37 am

it is, I think. Doesn't it mean something like darling?

2:38 am

yes, i think it does

2:39 am

looked it up. It does mean dear, beloved, and it is the female form.

2:40 am

in which language, sprite?

2:40 am

spanish

2:49 am

merriam-webster says it is used mainly in the Southwest.

2:50 am

thanx hun. interesting word, i like the way it sounds.

2:50 am

me too :)

must be why you love me :D

2:57 am

always seems strange to me that merde is valid, but merci is not.

2:57 am

i know....the vagaries of enable.

2:58 am

theres a joke there about enable being sh**, but I'm not going to say it.

2:58 am

awwwww tell me, tell me! And hi Dachef :D

2:58 am

g'day dachef

2:59 am

morning.

3:02 am

how is life in the beautiful lands of wales?

3:03 am

wet and miserable. Just as we like it.

3:03 am

*grin* but so green, Dachef, so green

3:03 am

theres a lot of green, yes, but today it is under the grey.

3:04 am

I think it is even wetter than the netherlands, isn't it?

3:04 am

prob'ly.

3:05 am

although the last time I was in 'dam it poured down too. Must have taken the wet with us.

3:05 am

don't envy you the rain. But the beautiful nature, yes I do.

3:10 am

hehehe it rains plenty often enough here without you bringing it along. Poor Liz and her husband, it rained a lot when they were here as well.

3:26 am

you still with us, rose?

3:27 am

in and out, dear

3:27 am

hehehe... rose and her squirrels

3:27 am

i gave in and took an endone. * sigh*

3:28 am

don't worry about it. You take them rarely now and after the first time hydro, it isn't strange at all.

3:28 am

the nerve is stinging.

3:29 am

I know that feeling. Remember, sweetie, that is what painkillers are for. Look at how many you needed and how few now.

3:30 am

fi4flies

3:31 am

WTG SPRITE!!!

3:32 am

am gonna answer some emails and do some writing. A big warm *hug* for you, rose, and healing vibes gently coming your way. Bye Dachef! And to you all, a blessed day and a peaceful night.

3:32 am

hope your day is kind to you, sprite. {{hugs}} xoxox

3:32 am

byeee.

3:36 am

just spent ages looking for the or7. Which is unusual for me, cos its usually the first thing I notice.

3:42 am

i think it's been a while since it was in the grid.

3:42 am

Hi all and thanks, Dachef :)

3:42 am

Hi Rose and hugs

3:45 am

{{hugs}} liz girl. are you good today?

3:45 am

All's good here - and with you?

3:47 am

a bit sore after my return to hydro this afternoon. but other than that i'm good.

3:47 am

It'll get easier. Hope you've taken something and aren't suffering unnecessarily.

3:51 am

yeah i did. the nerve was stinging. oh, and have sorted all the papers ready for friday as well. so that job is done.

3:51 am

So I hope you'll relax tomorrow to prepare yourself. Whatever happens, I guess it'll be totally draining.

3:53 am

going out to a fund raising morning tea for breast cancer research, and then lunch with my friend.

3:54 am

Enjoy.

4:49 am

good morning everyone:)

4:54 am

g'day crossy

4:54 am

((rose))

4:55 am

did i ever tell you i finished great expectations?

4:55 am

Yes you did. You said you were going to dabble in some sci-fi nex.

4:56 am

next

4:57 am

yeah, reading arthur c clarke. what a tremendous imagination.

4:57 am

I am neck deep in The Scarlet Letter by Mr. Hawthorne

5:06 am

good article on wikipedia about your book. i was into catherine gaskin for a long time. in one of her books her heroine was reading a book called Behind the black veil, i think. anyway i went to my local library and they actually had a copy on their shelves. incredible experience.

5:09 am

I must be honest in saying that Hawthorne is a bit of a dry read for me. If I am to read this style of writing I would much rather it be by Poe or Doyle:)

5:09 am

hello???

5:09 am

((ruby))

5:10 am

hah |{{crossy} {{rosie}}

5:10 am

G'day ruby. {{hugs}} did you see the video of braxton finally walking?

5:12 am

no, I haven't been on very much

5:12 am

I'll look a little later

5:12 am

{{liz}}

5:13 am

diving in (my form of hydo -- lol)

5:14 am

*giggle* ruby. enjoy the grid

5:24 am

5:44 am

xxx crossy

5:45 am

Good morning to all

5:45 am

g'day sukee

5:46 am

howdy sukee

5:46 am

My favorite Q word is in the grid :)

5:49 am

qu7?? sukee ??

5:49 am

no, it's a 5

5:49 am

with lots of vowels

5:50 am

the brit line-up

5:50 am

you like standing in a qu5??

5:50 am

No, just the word :)

5:52 am

i like the qu7. it sounds lovely.

5:52 am

I don't have that yet

5:53 am

when you get it darling, you will be speaking spanish

5:57 am

will need more that that rosie. Spanish is something we do not dabble in up here. French? yes, but Spanish no.

5:58 am

okay...qu7. qu + vowel + most of use a horse for transport + vowel

6:03 am

Nice, ty

6:05 am

There is a very Canadian word in the puzzle today.

6:05 am

np's sukee. crossy i am sure you have seen the word in one of the books you have read.

6:05 am

what?? BACON???

6:05 am

I must need more tea. that horse is so elusive, he is going to be horse burgers when I get hold of him;)

6:06 am

More than likely

6:06 am

lol :)

6:06 am

roflol...crossy

6:07 am

will let that word rest for a bit i think. Perhaps it will break cover later on:)

6:08 am

... woolen headgear

6:08 am

ty dose

6:08 am

canadian indeed, eh? lol

6:10 am

maybe if I get this horse a to 5/16 he will come out to play:)

6:10 am

just for crossy...qu + vowel +b***ge, span a river + vowel

6:13 am

got it rose. it took all your help and a lot of digging with morewords to pry it out. Not a word i have seem that often.

6:13 am

seen

6:14 am

then you have been reading the wrong books...lololol

6:14 am

sorry. Do not see it in my reading either:)

6:15 am

* giggling* don't ever change, mate.

Howdy. Another small grid - what's it like?

6:17 am

read one a while ago where the author was driving me nuts with his endless references to the wood of a pinon tree to start campfires with. it was pinon this and pinon that. i swear I felt like saying" we do not have them here, so get over it!" Just say you gathered wood to start the bloody fire:)

6:17 am

g'day matty. not too bad. dive in, hun

6:17 am

it has evil overtones, matty

6:18 am

rose makes it look easy:))

6:18 am

roflol...crossy....and don is giving me THAT look.

6:18 am

:)

6:19 am

*smooch* crossy....one day i will do it for real. please tell mrs crossy she has nothing to be concerned about.

6:19 am

lol. She trusts me to protect myself from the bad wimmens:))

6:20 am

it is a curse, but I live with it:)

6:20 am

LOLOL....

6:20 am

you are so brave, crossy.

6:20 am

Crossy will always take one for the team:)

6:21 am

hey!!! who you callin' a bad wimman...

6:22 am

I was given my final exam yesterday:) You know a final is bad when they give you three days to do it in:(

6:22 am

gm, everyone! lunar eclipse was/is cool!

6:22 am

ugh, crossy.

6:22 am

I missed it:(

6:22 am

you are not bad rosie... just naughty:0

6:23 am

lbd, g'day dear. not visible from where we are. :-(

6:23 am

nothing wrong with naughty! ;)

6:23 am

hi lbd

6:23 am

lolool...just ask don...he loves naughty...

6:24 am

I saw the butt end of the eclipse, then it clouded over

6:24 am

((ROSE, SUKEE, CROSSY))

6:24 am

Good luck crossy :)

6:24 am

I am to write an original short story AS a prologue or epilogue to one of two existing short stories that i have already created for the course, make it blend in seamlessly and it is to be 10,000 to 20,000 words in length.

6:24 am

howdy lbd:)

6:24 am

oy...

6:25 am

caught the last 20 minutes before it went "total". didn't seem red to me, but for once the heavens didn't interfer with our viewing.

6:25 am

omg, crossy....when does that have to be in?

6:25 am

end of this Friday before 5 pm

6:25 am

Crossy, are you going to do Nanowrimo?

6:26 am

I have considered it, lbd

6:26 am

ugh, crossy. get those monkey's going...

6:26 am

I did it last year, I'm thinking about doing it again. it was hard but it was fun.

6:26 am

It is hard

6:27 am

best way is to pound off 5k words in the first day, get a buffer zone going

6:27 am

i don't think i know 10-20,000 words..

6:28 am

then work out the min words/day for the remainder of the month and do 50 extra each day

6:29 am

crossy...you are a braver man than i, gunga din

6:38 am

Words are easy when you are full of it:) Wife says that when i get a head of steam going, I can talk the birdies down from the trees;)

6:38 am

See you later.

6:38 am

tc sukee

6:39 am

maybe not sukee. hope you have a good day/night, hun. xoxox

6:41 am

nearly 11pm here. i think i should bow out gracefully. xoxox crossy. enjoy the grid, mate.

6:42 am

tc and have a good rest ((rose))

6:42 am

good morning friends! happy me in the school library again :)

6:42 am

howdy trif:)

6:43 am

help with the re6/27?

6:44 am

reminds me, sometime this week I must get my beloved a library card for our new building!

6:44 am

bye sukee, hi trip

6:44 am

erg, trif

6:44 am

hi lbd

6:46 am

it is funny. When public money was requested to help with a new parking lot on the far side of town our Councillors had to work like mad dogs to get it, but when it was found that the new library budget was going to fall short by 5 million dollars, it was raised in less than 2 months with nary a complaint:). it is a beautiful building with our town archives safely stored within it as well as having a green roof/ reading area on top of it:)

6:47 am

oh, what a good thing to hear, crossy! I LOVE libraries....everything about them

6:47 am

it is such an amazing resource and we are fortunate to have it.

6:48 am

All kinds of books clubs and writers clubs host their meetings there as well.

6:48 am

the school building where I work was built in 1934 and has rarely been improved since then. There is ONE toilet for the entire staff, for example, and only maybe 25 parking spots - we have to park two and three deep. Next Saturday the town is voting as to whether or not to fund a new middle school being built, and if it doesn't pass, I quite seriously do not know what the town will do

6:49 am

Where do you work Trif?

6:49 am

at a middle school in Abington, mas

6:49 am

mass

6:49 am

We have one town of 20,000 near us that has no high school. Every single student is bussed over here to our high school

6:49 am

it's a very very lo income town

6:50 am

we actually have several families that moved into town over the summer, and have yet to enroll their children here, so anxious over the vo4 are they

6:50 am

That's too bad Trif. Poor kids getting the short shrift

6:50 am

The idea is that down the road they want to close all the older schools within a 50 mile radius and crate a single mega-school

6:51 am

that is true, bichon, but it

6:52 am

there can never be enough funding for education

6:52 am

is also true that if the vo passes, most families will see their tax bills go up by several hundred dollars, and most people are barely able to pay them as it is. it's a scary thought either way

6:52 am

How can a building be open with only one bathroom for staff

6:53 am

oh, there is in Colorado, crossy! Since a certain law passed there, the public schools suddenly have more money than they know what to do with! I imagine the bake sales are doing well too! hahaha

6:53 am

not only one bathroom, bichon - one TOILET. ONE

6:53 am

Hey all

6:53 am

Trif...help me!

6:53 am

that is crazy, trif

6:53 am

howdy car

6:53 am

Darling!!!! No sign of the moon at my house - how about you?

6:53 am

... that's not particularly unusual ... well sorry two ... one men's one women's

6:53 am

What do you need sweetest?

6:54 am

we just have the one dos

6:54 am

Zack is not feeling well...kept him home....Dylan is now throwing a hissy fit and make my life miserable.

6:55 am

I can't stand this shit/

6:55 am

stuff the little troll in the bus and get him outta there. Send him in his jammies if you have to. I did that once - to this day, one of my best parenting moments. She never pulled that crap again

6:55 am

Isn't children's job, to make their parents miserable <ggg>

6:56 am

I even told him he could stay home tomorrow instead...on his birthday...but no electronics at all....even that wasn't good enough.

6:56 am

it is his job to go to school. period.

6:56 am

I sent my kid in p.j's once. got a call from the school and an interview with C.A.S. they do "heicopter" schooling here, so we were cautious.

6:56 am

*Standing and applauding for Trif*

6:58 am

CYour icon is so true Molly

6:58 am

My head is about to explode

6:58 am

... send him to school and tell him you'll call the school and if he acts up there's no dinner tonight

6:58 am

we have the opposite issue here at the moment - we have a really, really lovely student who LOVES school, but her mother is mentally ill and feels it is "unsafe" for her to be away from her child for any length of time. The poor girl - we have had 30 days of school so far, and the daughter has been here for THREE of them. The principal has filed all sorts of stuff, but it's slow going

6:58 am

OMG trif...just found the or 7/44!!!!

6:58 am

calm down car. My gson refused to go to kindergarten yesterday until he saw all his friend arriving

6:59 am

alas, tadone!! and finito!! that robot ending caught me up a few times. as for kids not wanting to go to school...the question to ask is why. Is there a bully, is he not prepared for a test, is there something going on emotionally that he can't verbalize?

6:59 am

Dylan is a great student, top of the class, so that is not the issue. The issue is that they pull this crap with me. ON Friday, when the father is here, none of it.

6:59 am

No, he just wants to stay home.

7:00 am

Kids will always push the boundaries, see what they can get away with;(

7:00 am

well he cant. Dad had to go to work, you have work to do, I am at work, mr. tinker is at work, and he has to go too. That is his job.

7:00 am

huzzah for lbd!!!!

7:01 am

My guess is that the kids need to learn they can't pull that crap with Mom OR Dad

7:02 am

tell him to save a mental health day for the spring, when it's nice out

7:02 am

... many mothers would be happier if that was learned

7:02 am

OK...back up for round four with him....

7:02 am

that's the last round, car. You can physically lift him up and get him out there.

7:03 am

Stand firm, Car. If he keeps pressing buttons tell him, he can stay home, but in his room in bed. no electronics.

7:04 am

Well, if he gets to stay home, he wins and this will just happen again

hello does anyone have the top E

7:04 am

... my sister was all concerned about people taking consideration for her son's feelings ... she was complaining to the school regularly about her son's complaining about bullying ... ... then the school told her that her son was the bully

7:04 am

I don't joseph :(

7:05 am

he partially wins. Depends on why he wanted to stay home. to play, to avoid something? I'd make as miserable a time at home, so that school looks really good, even with tests.

7:05 am

you would be AMAZED at how often that happens, dos....parents rarely realize their own child is the bully

7:05 am

of course, the worst school bully we have here is the lead teacher in the classroom I am in. WHAT a terror that woman is!

7:05 am

... see it every day

7:06 am

one who does, instruct or benefit from spiritual or moral lesson

Hi Joseph - it's someone who imparts knowledge, kind of

7:07 am

sorry, that was ed7 for JJ

thank you

7:11 am

Time for class. Tc all and happy babbling.

7:12 am

Dylan will be going in late. Zack is sick and staying home.

7:12 am

I have a headache and my ulcer is now on fire.

7:12 am

oh, this is so funny - one of the young teachers just came in and told us that he discovered the kids have been playing "mr Campbell bingo" during his class. The free space in the middle says "spills coffee"

7:13 am

LOL

7:13 am

the rest of the squares on the board he found are all things he does during class - "leans on podium with left elbow" "quotes Jefferson".....

why didn't i think of that when i was in school

7:14 am

Trif...did you notice mom getting tired earlier than usual last night?

7:14 am

I should make "dragon lady bingo"....."says something cutting" "insults a student" "gives unclear direction to peer"

7:15 am

no, she seemed just fine, car.

7:15 am

the kids sounds like their are very inventive, Trif.

7:15 am

She has been starting to say she is ready for bed at 7:15. I keep her up until at least 8;30

7:15 am

mr Campbell does have good ones

7:16 am

must go find another key board. this one is acting up. hope to be back later. ttfn

7:16 am

I think it's more that she can't tell time passing anymore, car. She asked me often what day it was, what time it was, etc.

7:16 am

she "knows" that bed comes after dinner, but not when....

7:17 am

Yes, that too.

7:18 am

that's the bell....good day all

7:18 am

... watch it of course ... but I seldom know what day it is without looking at my phone ... I have no reason to remember it as

7:19 am

Stats for the M please?

7:20 am

... only one i've got is me4/5

7:20 am

People with memory issues have trouble with time. Especially when it starts getting dark earlier.

Yep, found the FI7 all on my own (I'm always happy when that happens)

I'm an idiot

7:26 am

they are pretty similar

Yep, got it. Hence the idiot comment

8:53 am

Sounds like what you use Preparation H for, Judi

8:53 am

That should have been without, btw

8:53 am

Ty, Matty & Molls. I must admit, Molly's clue was more succinct.

8:54 am

8:54 am

Maybe they don't have prep H in England

8:54 am

hi hego

8:55 am

Morning Annie.

8:55 am

Annie, person who is jealous

8:55 am

And, I thought they had bums, not bottoms.

8:55 am

thanks, Molly

8:55 am

8:55 am

They probably have a cute little Brit name for it like "Bum Balm"

8:56 am

right

8:56 am

Bum butter?

8:57 am

Maybe

8:57 am

Bum Better

8:58 am

Fill up the hot tub with that stuff.

I like that Judy and Molly. Actually, it's worse - Anusol (really)

8:58 am

No goo in the hot tub!

8:58 am

Oh, that is unfortunate, Matty.

8:59 am

We have Anusol, or used to.

8:59 am

We have groups of people we call anus all

9:00 am

You sound like Ru now.

9:00 am

name that proper noun...river in France

9:01 am

I would have thought the people who came up with nappies, and lollys would have a happier, cuter name for that stuff

9:01 am

Hmmm.....

9:01 am

Loire

9:01 am

ding ding ding!

9:01 am

there you go!

9:03 am

Clue for Qu7? The 7s are brutal today.

9:04 am

It is a French kind of grid today, with the French words for cold and thank you also in it

9:04 am

qu7 ends like what you do on a bike, but change the last vowel

9:05 am

Apparently it means darling in Spanish. I had to look that up as I do not abla

9:05 am

Ah! a spanish endearment.

9:06 am

Or habla

9:06 am

I learned it from Gomez Adams.

9:06 am

Ah. Ty.

What you do on a bike? I ride a bike, typically (well, not recently but...)

9:07 am

I don't do anything on a bike.....

9:08 am

Maybe on a bus.

9:09 am

21 left. Time for a stretch and some real work. BBL. *POOF*

9:12 am

bbl

Off to a meeting - maybe more later (32 words left including 2 seven letter words)

9:13 am

bye

9:14 am

Yes, what you do on a bike, change the last vowel

9:14 am

I got it Molly.

9:55 am

me6 kind of wool

9:56 am

9:57 am

Une...now you see her...now you don't...WHOOSH!
