Nah. We all have accidents sometimes.

Klutz, yes.

That's me EVERY weekday. :P

Well, some nights I sleep ok and actually get enough sleep. But not often enough.

12:34 am

I start thinking about work and then can't go back to sleep

I'd be asleep already, but waited for a load of laundry I now have to transfer to the dryer. Then I can crash... but wanna finish this grid first. :P

Yeah. I do that too a lot.

12:34 am

Yep. It's going well... the grid, that is.

12:51 am

off to bed, 24 to go but very sleepy

1:35 am

well, so much for sleepy!! back to finish up

1:49 am

poor flosey. i am about to go out for dinner. i have a drink for you....lol

1:50 am

please do, and enjoy

1:50 am

i am celebrating turning 21 for the third ti4 today.

1:53 am

rose, I had an injection of triamcinolone acetonide this afternoon, for pain relief - I came home and slept for a couple of hours, had a cup of tea and slept again!! would that be normal for such med.?

1:53 am

well, you have every right to celebrate, Rose, enjoy and cheers!

1:55 am

if the pain has subsided due to the injection, then yes. it is perfectly normal. when we loose that pain our body allows us to nap/doze in order to catch up on lost sleep.

1:57 am

ah, well, I sure did!

1:57 am

i am so looking forward to bedtime tonight. i have been pain-free since the infusions yesterday. i am a little stiff, but no pain and no aches.

1:58 am

happy for you - you will really enjoy your evening out !

1:58 am

i haven't had any paracetamol or ibuprofen since yesterday morning.

1:59 am

very good, rose

1:59 am

now for you. do you have a favourite prayer or poem which makes you happy and relaxed?

2:00 am

no rose, that would probably be a good idea, otherwise my mind wanders and keeps me awake

2:00 am

good morning all

2:00 am

i simply adore reciting the Gloria, a prayer of praise. sometimes after only once, i am aslepp, sometimes it takes 3-4 repititions.

2:01 am

my darling rose, what wonderful news! *hugs*

2:01 am

{{hugs}} sprite. i am only here for about 30 minutes dear. don is taking me out for dinner.

2:02 am

i wish you could have seen me after the bolus. you would have been in stitches.

2:02 am

all good, darling. Dinner out sounds wonderful. And being pain-free even better. Am so so happy for you. Good advice from the nurse, btw. Just enjoy it.

2:02 am

bolus?

2:02 am

nah, your reaction to the bolus sound scary, to be honest. Very important to have a nurse with you to tell you it is all normal and just relax and let it happen.

2:03 am

they gave me a 5ml bolus of the ketamine infusion flosey. i was off the planet....lol

2:04 am

i felt like i had been anaesthetised, and not fallen asleep. i had ringing in my ears, my speech was slurred and i couldn't remember the right words to say.

2:04 am

had never heard the term 'bolus' rose, just looked it up

2:04 am

but my nurse stayed right th5 beside me until the effects wore off, and reassured me all the way through the process.

2:04 am

wow, must have been a heavy dose

2:05 am

I had been told I'd be safe driving after the injection - otherwise would have had to wait, hubby was off island

2:05 am

that was a 20mg dose of ketamine, in one dose. doc wanted to build up the effect.

2:06 am

lol, here in the netherlands, the word 'bolus' is also used to refer to poop... because of the shape that is similar to a 'zeeuwse bolus' which is a melasses pastry snack.

2:06 am

i'm not going to drive until i am told it is okay to do so.

2:07 am

wow, sprite, meds or poop, strange confusion

2:08 am

meds or poop or a pastry snack, yes. Very weird.

2:09 am

gee thanx sprite.the mind pictures are killing me.

2:11 am

quite a giggle

2:12 am

*giggles* Look: http://tinyurl.com/pvr\nnxtf

2:13 am

tried it Sprite, it is not known??

2:14 am

http://tinyurl.com/pvrnxtf

2:14 am

that should do it

2:15 am

oh my, killing myself laughing...i hope they taste good.

2:16 am

very very sweet, of course. But yes, they taste good. Famous treat in the netherlands.

2:17 am

oooooooooooh! they look yummy, Sprite

2:17 am

sweet is good.... so long as they don't taste poopy....roflol

2:17 am

next time I find a Dutch bakery, I'll ask for them

2:17 am

*grin* But not to take away attention from our rose... so they injected a bolus into you. And now you are pain-free. And going out for dinner. Whatcha gonna have?

2:18 am

good idea, flosey!

2:18 am

what?? ask for poopy rolls??

2:18 am

I believe there is one in Victoria, so next time I'm over

2:18 am

2:19 am

I hate these new washing machines.if i put just a little too much washing in for the machine..it does not spin fully.So when the washing machine has finished..the clothes are still wet.I then have to put the clothes back in bit by bit and put it on spin to dry then better..Stupid thing.

5:45 am

5:46 am

5:46 am

ugh, zooz. i have the same problem.

5:46 am

LOL you still holding onto that grudge, Rose :-)

5:47 am

5:50 am

I make an an awsome penne a la vodka I wish I could make for you on your b-day, Rose. I put a bit of creamery butter in my cast iron pan, then add diced green onions, 3 finely diced cloves of fresh garlic, and 8 strips of crumbled hickory smoked, maple kissed bacon. i fry that for a few moments just until the garlic bits start going brown, then i add a generous dollop to top shelf vodka. i then flambe the entire works for 30 seconds, and put out the flames with a 1/2 pint of 35 cream. i let all that simmer for a bit them mix it with my aldente penne pasta. i serve this dish with a simple spinach salady and crusty italian bread

5:50 am

35%

5:50 am

* poof *

5:50 am

Sweet sleep, Rose :-)

5:50 am

Mind you- anyone w,ho stopped four gallons of water a day from coursing across my floor would be ok with me

7:28 am

I hear you

7:28 am

There is a Christian song called Broken. It is about everyone being broken is some way and being afraid to ask for help. No matter who we are, we are never not broken. I believe this game is so wonderful because it forces us to see that also. We ask each other for help without fear of belittlement. I have been playing here for, wow, probably 7yrs and have learned that i can not only ask for help in the game, but in life too. We share so much, it is our support group. What an amazing gift God has given us. I am so blessed to know you are all there to pray with and for me. Thank you all.

7:29 am

You bless us too, sue

7:29 am

((Suefrad625))

Hi PIni

9:13 pm

hiya bugs :)

9:16 pm

Good Evening Everyone. Is this a tough grid?

9:16 pm

hi Nef

9:17 pm

I can't remember that far back to the time I started Nef. I am finding it quite boring now

9:17 pm

Hi Bugs. How are you doing tonight? (I was trying to chat in the wrong box again; I'm getting worse at that again lately)

9:17 pm

it's doable...just a few twists and turns, but not many....

9:20 pm

lol Nef. I am well but tired a lot lately so I had a nap. Hence, forgetting about the grid

9:20 pm

Thaks for the encouragement, Pini. How're you doing these days?

9:20 pm

busier than ever this term...and the next 8-10 weeks are going to be a whirlwind! :-/

9:21 pm

... and ra7 was my last! *sparklers*

9:21 pm

YAY PIni!

9:22 pm

I just have to mke it through this Friday; THEN my life will be easier. (We are closing on the Aunty's condo then; I need it off my back!)

9:22 pm

YAY, Pini!!!! WTG!!!

9:22 pm

feeling kinda foolish tho...shoulda found that one a long time ago...

9:23 pm

I couldn't see it forever either. I love the genre

9:26 pm

Well, I found an ra 7/40; is there only 1 ra7? (Thanks for the stats!

9:26 pm

yes, nef :)

9:27 pm

it's a great genre, bugs! :)

9:27 pm

Thaks! :-)

9:29 pm

I will be off on asearch for food now. happy Babbling Nef

9:29 pm

take care, Bugs :)

9:30 pm

My Goodness! I see I can't spell tonight either! Maybe I should stop before I get too involved with this grid.

9:30 pm

Bye, Bugs! Enjoy the food & evening!

9:30 pm

oh, you're doing great, nef!

9:32 pm

I've got 2 fingers with cuts and splits ; so I have bandages on them and I keep missing those letters. You should see some of the words I've tried entering

9:33 pm

oh no! (well, take youre time and let me know if you need something - otherwise, I'll say ciao for a bit [to work on IronSudoku] and return later) :)

9:34 pm

Could you please give me the stats on aan 8 letter word; then I'll keep plugging away for a while

9:35 pm

eq8/70 and te8/50

9:35 pm

(the latter presses two common words together) :)

9:35 pm

(for that matter, the first one does, too)

9:36 pm

Thaks! I'll keep working,

9:36 pm

Thanks, I mean

9:38 pm

"i got the te 8! thanks!!!" (till chatting in wrong box…….

9:39 pm

9:39 pm

:)

9:40 pm

And the other 8!!! THaNk you Pini!!!

9:41 pm

YEAH!!!!

9:41 pm

(PS: I'll keep an eye on this chat box while I do the sudoku puzzle on the other screen!) [forgot I could do that] :)

9:43 pm

Thnks Pini. THe way I'm going; I probably won't either a.) stay awake until done; or b.) not finish before the flip. But I will try..

9:44 pm

Well, I'll stick around for ya! Just hollar!!! :)

9:45 pm

Thanks! :-) Good Luck with your Suduko!

9:45 pm

It says "easy"...but I'm not so sure :)

9:47 pm

Are the Iron Sudukos ever easy? It's been so long since I've tried playing it that I don't remember (then again; maybe it would be easier for me than trying to spell tonight)

9:48 pm

Today's is quite easy ..

9:48 pm

I'm just getting into them...

9:48 pm

Hi tor. That's good to know

9:49 pm

I even built an Excel spreadsheet that helps me manage what "could be" in each squares! (pretty sad, eh?)

9:50 pm

I've been doing suduko in the daily paper for years but haven't tried playing them here

9:50 pm

If it helps you, Pini, it isn't sad; it's something I've never considered

9:50 pm

There's actually a script that someone wrote that will fill in all the possibilities ..

9:51 pm

but I don't have a paid subscription over there ... yet!

9:52 pm

Ah

10:00 pm

it's always so hopeful when I start out doing pretty good...and then *bam* the wall...

10:03 pm

That sounds like me and this grid! 58 left & repeating myself too often

10:06 pm

(And I say that in chat and suddenly find 5 more words. I should keep aying that

10:07 pm

"Saying!" not aying

10:12 pm

((((hugs all))))

10:13 pm

Hi stid! How are you?

10:14 pm

AGH. UGH. URG. babbling on a school night, was too tired to go to orchestra rehearsal. Middle of testing the third graders with a poorly conceived and worse-executed new test. Any other questions?

10:14 pm

Other than that, life is hunky-dory! LOL You?

10:14 pm

((((stid))))

10:15 pm

I'll be fine once the closong is over on Friday (finally selling AUnty Jean's condo! I'll be so releaved when this is done!)

10:16 pm

hiya stid!

10:17 pm

wow -- good for you! I imagine selling a house is even worse than buying one!

10:17 pm

*****pini hugs***** you have YOUR meningitis shot, young lady????

10:18 pm

um ... no ... but I've already experienced it, too - my eldest had it when she was 20 months old :-/

10:19 pm

yuck. I have been reading in the news about the outbreak there. I suppose if you aren't around a lot of students you are probably okay...

10:20 pm

We seemed to attract the crazies with this. The first couple baxcke d off at the very last moment because "the garage door was too noisy!" This couple that re buying it now are crazy pushy: they are worried about "cooking smells" (their first showing was the day after Valentine's Day - my daughter had fixed crabs for her boyfriend that night

10:20 pm

We're so disassociated, it's a wonder they still consider us "on campus"

10:20 pm

ah, yes -- no telling what scents a person is "scent"sitive to! *grin*

10:21 pm

speaking of houses -- Camo Boy and his parents just bought their first! (started moving in last weekend)

10:21 pm

(& I can't type tonight - "worked my fingers to the bone" getting things packed & cleaned so have bandaids on a couple of them)

10:22 pm

...and CB2 is due in about 8 weeks

10:22 pm

Nef, you gotta take it easy...get the kids to do more! :)

10:23 pm

woo-hoo!!!! *Ready with camo brushes and camo paint* I know I put it around he4 somewhere....

10:24 pm

PS, Nef: I didn't really notice anything until you said something...so you're doing great!

10:24 pm

Pini, I did get lots of help; it's just eczema acting up after either the cleaning or the rubber gloves

10:24 pm

camo in CB2's room, but CB1 is getting blue and grey (superhero neutral colors)

10:24 pm

I had a child the other day wearing camo. For some reason I hadn't realized he was next to me.... He surprised me. LOL I told him I hadn't seen him because he was too well camouflaged!

10:25 pm

oh my, nef!

10:25 pm

ANd that's such great news for the camo family!

10:25 pm

ROFL, nice one, stid! :)

10:25 pm

oh, sorry about your fingers, nef -- I keep saying you work too hard!

10:25 pm

cute, stid! (not one of your students, I hope?)

10:27 pm

yes, one of my darling set!

10:28 pm

they are wonderful kiddos... we have class pictures next week. I shall have to get my hair "done" before then. So much gray showing these days that I will totally throw off the light balance!

10:28 pm

It's funny, I was using the rubber cleaning gloves, too. But I never had trouble with my hands while working (but I wore either latex or nitrile gloves there

10:28 pm

LOL, stid! :-D

10:30 pm

I remember when you were worried about teaching younger kids, stid. You sound very happy with this age of kids now

10:34 pm

I LOVE this age (knew I would, but was worried about the physicality of it). Some days I resort to my cane, haven't needed crutches at school this year (yet). I have a relatively easy-to-teach class, 23 all-day students, 1 part-day and 2 who are out of the room most of the day. It is tricky to teach that many students and reach them all, but I am improving. This week their behavior is below-par, but I think it is a response to the stress of this testing, the very bizzare (stormy) weather and the upcoming spring break.

10:35 pm

We'll be fine as soon as the kids return from break in April. We have three half-days to end next week and then a lovely week-long breather.

10:35 pm

Sounds like you're on your way, Stid...so happy for you! :)

10:35 pm

we lover her!

10:35 pm

It's crazy to put this test right at spring break.

10:36 pm

for NBT the E on the bottom row please? I am up to 64 and SO ready to go to sleep...

10:36 pm

thanks pini -- feels like a logn

10:36 pm

thanks pini -- feels like a logn

10:36 pm

MCURL!!!!! you sneaky you!!! ****hugs and hugs****

10:36 pm

:-)

10:36 pm

back at ya stid

10:37 pm

I didn't get to harass you today, I am so frantically trying to pull things together each day for the kiddos. You look fabulous though in the new hairdo (forgot to tell you already).

10:37 pm

hey mcurl! :)

10:37 pm

hey pini

10:37 pm

ep7/36.

10:37 pm

okay, thanks nef *thinking*

10:38 pm

(let me know if you need a hint

10:38 pm

I find not seeing you at least once in my day makes it kind of long! the hair do is my normal

10:39 pm

hm.... I think I DO need a hint... and you probably just colored it or something. It looked different to me the last couple days (mostly from a distance).

10:40 pm

yep, colored and cut. It's the length I really love

10:40 pm

:-) It's a great look for you.

10:41 pm

thanks

10:43 pm

it can be used as a form of contempt; it's like a characteristic of a person used in place of the actual name

10:45 pm

ep + pronoun + to r**c* is like the dry heaves (sorry, my nursing background

10:45 pm

10:47 pm

(the pronoun isn't personal)

10:47 pm

...and here I was thinking it was that phrase one might use to describe a past loved one...

10:48 pm

That's what I thought too, Pini; but after looking it up that isn't what it is

10:49 pm

Yeah, I looked it up and found out I was way off...but it "sounded" good! :)

10:50 pm

*thinking and monkeying*

10:50 pm

oh! cuss word!

10:51 pm

LOL

10:51 pm

shoulda just said so, kept monkeying in the wrong direction...

10:51 pm

*giggel*

10:52 pm

* giggle

10:53 pm

gads - now I can't type either!

10:53 pm

Well Pini, I just went to another dictionary, and the word you & I were thinking of is epitaph not this word!

10:54 pm

well, a nice even 66.... NBT and NBS. I think I should tell you how happy it makes me to find you all here and well. Pini, I won't make it down your way until summer.... but hope we can connect at some point again. I will be going through at least once or twice to see my grandfather and go to some plays.

10:54 pm

I know...it's just when you try and say either one, they sound pretty close, but definitely aren't

10:55 pm

Oh, I so look forward to it, stid...and I will be sure to let you know if I'm able to make it up your way again... ;)

10:55 pm

Nef, once the condo sells I hope you get a little breathing room. And maybe, someday... I have a decent house now, although no dedicated guest room there is more than enough space! In the kitchen alone...

10:55 pm

Yes please, pini -- you will love the new house.

10:56 pm

*smile*

10:56 pm

speaking of which... mcurl -- you haven't seen the house yet! LOL and you are almost next door!

10:56 pm

(comparatively speaking...)

10:57 pm

sweet dreams all - happy babbling! *poof*

10:58 pm

LOL! Once this darn condo is sold, I'm going to do some traveling (but I can't tell DH about it until we drive to the airport! He has gotten sick the last 4 vacations we've planned; so I'm going to try not telling him until the last minute

10:58 pm

Niters, stid! Good luck with this testing stuff!

10:58 pm
