2:31 am

Hi - how are you?

2:32 am

good thanx. trying using the pain patches differently. significant improvement.

2:32 am

how are you? been to gym today?

2:32 am

Happy to hear that. How different?

2:33 am

i found an ar4 which wasn't covered by the size i was cutting. double the size.

2:34 am

Happy that's working. My day was OK. MADE

2:34 am

but the sweats have started again..* sigh * did i tell you my next infusion is next tuesday?

2:34 am

Made challah, went to gym, emailed an old uni friend. Usual stuff.

2:35 am

Grrrr! No, happy that it's soon. Hoping for another good outcome.

2:35 am

Grrrr was for the sweats.

2:36 am

have been thinking on that space. have you a display cabinet for pretty china, crystal, silver?

2:37 am

No - on both counts! But we also thought about something similar. I guess we'll know it when we see it.

2:40 am

Both counts meaning we don't really have the type of stuff to display. Thinking possibly of something tall, with fronds or similar.

2:40 am

how about a tall earthernware type of urn. so4 of egyptian.

2:41 am

Possibly. I think we need to look around.

2:43 am

Only problem is neither of us likes shopping, so I reckon we'll stumble on something by chance.

2:44 am

try looking on line. sites like temple and webster

2:45 am

Will do - thanks for the suggestion.

2:56 am

Looks like a lovely store. Thanks again.

3:00 am

don't tell peter i suggested it. especially if you find something on it.

3:01 am

Lol! I'll totally blame you ;)

4:11 am

hey ya diz. what's the weather doing up there?

4:11 am

I have resorted to Lickety

4:12 am

piddling down rain here, what about down there?

4:12 am

god bless him. he is such a life-saver. sweet and a hole in the middle.

4:13 am

we've had a couple of ripper thunder storms. and it is cold and damp.

4:13 am

lifesaver more like it

4:15 am

we have been predicted rain for the next week...hopefully the sun will shine tomorrow week for the Centenary of ANZACs

4:16 am

actually I need to change my pic

4:16 am

my hope also diz. i was stunned when i went to buy my Anzac badge this week. they have airforce and navy hats as well as the army slouch hat.

4:16 am

my dad was airforce.

4:20 am

my Dad was AIF, Uncle was one of the Rats of Tobruk. Bro in laws Viets.

4:21 am

it would seem your family has done it's bit, diz.

4:22 am

my profile pic is one that a person took of a sunset about a week ago...it eerily depicts a slouched hat

4:23 am

sorry meant...digger in a slouched hat.

4:26 am

very nice diz

4:31 am

hopefully our dtr can get us to the Dawn Service at our local RSL....would really lurve to go into the Cenetaph in Sydney, but they are advising peeps to stay away, specially if one is relying on walkers etc (like me) cos they expected it will be packed to the rafters (hopefully it is)

4:32 am

we are having a full blown memorial service in church on sunday. the RSL are attending.

4:35 am

diz, can you watch the 7:30 report, channel 2? a pakistani couple have been abused on a train. an australian girl stood up to the bully.

4:38 am

Rose, seen that last night and on Utube...I think the old bird is a friggin imbecile for starting on a couple out for the day...good on that young lady for sticking up.

4:39 am

her ignorance is so monumental. it is like an aboriginal coming up to me and accusing me of killing their forebears. i wasn't even born then.

4:39 am

I am honestly upset that someone in our age group could rant on like that...she needs to be educated

4:40 am

so am i diz.and i agree...there needs to be a national education program happening.

4:40 am

ugh, timer just went off. dinner ready. xoxox

4:41 am

xoxoo

4:41 am

WTG DIZ!!! in advance for your fireworks!!

4:48 am

Good morning my friends:)

4:50 am

4:50 am

Expensive:(

4:51 am

Really, pretty cheap here in Oz

4:51 am

Stuff, I mean good stuff and not that crappy no-name pig that is all fat, is about six dollars per 3/4 pond

4:52 am

pound*

4:53 am

I only buy it as a rare treat now:(

4:54 am

However, those small dinner hams, the ones about 2-3 pounds in weight can be had for 5-8 dollars. Go figure

4:55 am

So, now I just fry up some ham steaks to go with a crossy epic breakfast

4:56 am

Have such a nosh lined up for tomorrow as a matter of fact;)

5:09 am

You are welcome anytime:)

5:12 am

I have decided to start this grid a bit differently today. because of its size, my plan of attack if to get as many of those F words as possible before moving onto anything else;)

5:14 am

then the D's followed by the T's , and A's

5:15 am

I just reached half and have 40 f words

5:15 am

5:21 am

oh my. my mind pictures...what snaps in a locker room?

5:21 am

towels

5:22 am

uh oh, must see to husband's lunch xx

5:22 am

As kids we learned how to use those "J cloths" you buy for the kitchen for that purpose. We would make the cloth slightly damp, then tie a small knot into one corner. You could actually draw blood with those things:)

5:23 am

But as young boys we were evil urchins;)

5:24 am

crossy i thought of you earlier this week. i was out for lunch, and as i considered the three cheese omelet with a side order of bacon and decided against it....i thought, crossy is probably spinning in his bed right now.

5:25 am

mmm, why one earth did you not order the three-cheese omelet with a side of bacon?? Sounds perfect!

5:25 am

hah! He is having a tete-a-tete with the lady I've hired to help him with his shower and dressing. He has no trouble hearing her or having a sensible conversation.

5:25 am

I love it. Women around the globe think of me whenever bacon is involved in anything:))

5:25 am

He saves the crazy sh** for me!

5:26 am

lol. Is she easy on the eyes?

5:26 am

because there was sourdough toast with mashed avocado, poached eggs and smoked salmon on the menu. i promise to order it next week.

5:27 am

Bonjour everyone...Ooh a reasonable sized grid!

5:27 am

5:28 am

5:28 am

When my father suffered from his confabulation episodes and were were trying to get him squared away, he could turn the charm and the wit on for the govt workers like a switch. just long enough to pass their requirements so he was deemed fully competent to manage his own affairs.

5:28 am

that was care*

5:28 am

Howdy, Zooz

5:29 am

same here, crossy, he is Mr. Charm with everybody else with me, it's asking the ame question 6 times in an hour

5:29 am

I am my father son. We can turn the charm on and off at will:)

5:29 am

yay you ruby. and continue to not care, dear. it's not as if he is going to get up and race her off.

5:30 am

he likes her and it gives me a little time away from his neediness

5:30 am

let him chase her. will keep him out from under your feet:))

5:30 am

5:31 am

when we bought our new car, and had it registered in my name, i realised just how much don trusts and loves me.

5:31 am

oh dear, crossy....lolol...snap again!!

5:32 am

shhhh. don't tell don.

5:42 am

I trust my beloved with my very life and vice versa.

5:48 am

When I was so sick almost ten years ago she fed me, bathed me, saw that I was warm and comfortable at a point in my life when my body was so damaged by medication that i could not even see to my own simple every day needs. a soon as I was well enough I repaid in kind when she went under the knife:) I put my heart and soul into her hand without hesitation because I know that there is no safer place in this world for it than in her care;)

5:48 am

Oh, Crossy...that is so amazing! :)

5:49 am

It is a rare give that i have been given

5:50 am

gift

5:55 am

crossy... what a beautiful thing you both have. i also trust don with my very life, and vice versa. but my first hubby was so vicious regarding money. it is a new lesson for me to le5 that not all men are like that.

5:56 am

I understand. My beloveds first partner was abusive. it took the entire first year of our relationship for her not to flinch when i went in for a hug:(

5:57 am

oh, i feel for elegant. ditto me. and i know don would never harm me physically.

5:57 am

Still can't fathom the re9/10. Help pls

Argh - long vowel words - can anyone steer me on the AE 8/9 combo?

6:06 am

Wow! a high of 12C and sun today!:)) Spring has sprung and the grass is..well, the grass is not riz yet. Still looks like it died badly of drought and radiation poisoning, but I am sure with a few more gentle spring rains it will come alive for us.

Hello sukee

Yay, a nice sized grid for a Friday :)

6:13 am

Crossy, we are supposed to get up to 19!

Farenheit or Celsius?

6:14 am

we had 20C!!! the other day! We were all stripping down and tossing the coats away

6:14 am

poor sukee. not much you can do in 5 minutes. hello dear.

6:15 am

My own fault for getting caught up on Facebook. I should change it to visit here first :)

6:15 am

celcius, matty

Niiice!

6:16 am

I still bounce to Fahrenheit now and then , but since there are only a tiny handful of places still officially using it, I only alter it when speaking with my American friends

6:17 am

of course, since I remember the year we switched over, i sometimes lapse into the old measure

6:17 am

We changed over in 1978

6:17 am

and australian crossy...we have celsius here.

6:17 am

I still only know my weight and height in the old format.

6:17 am

it was chaos!

6:19 am

Okay, gotta run. I will be back later :)

6:19 am

However, even today i still measure fish in inches, beer in pints, and breast sizes will now and forevermore be in inches;)

6:19 am

lol crossy.

6:19 am

Chests are inches; br7 are in cups!

6:19 am

nooooo, granny restrain your self....

6:20 am

trying to measure boobs in millimeters makes it sound like ammunition:)))

6:20 am

well, cups is better than litres;)

6:20 am

well, in a way it IS ammunition eh?

6:22 am

who is in their cups??? not me!!

6:22 am

9:53 am

9:54 am

9:54 am

I got to go eat will be back

9:56 am

it is nan but I am not very patient

9:56 am

and the only clue I saw earlier was bullfighting term

10:00 am

Oops, I got called away. The contractor wanted to show me his progress with his work.

10:00 am

Never heard that Bu word before.

10:00 am

looked it up - not an easy one to clue either - these dang foreign words in an english vocab game!

10:01 am

does anyone have all the 9's?

10:01 am

now we find that the creator of enable has spanish ancestry as well as japanese, greek, italian, french scottish and yiddish

10:01 am

It's all Greek to me.

10:02 am

*also travels a lot, because he/she knows every currency - even to countries we've never heard of!

10:02 am

very true nan

10:02 am

10:03 am

10:03 am

10:05 am

Poor Pluto. Disowned from the solar system.

10:05 am

10:05 am

10:05 am

Size matter.

10:05 am

ty joe

10:06 am

10:06 am

10:06 am

dwarf planet

10:06 am

of course it can't be a star

10:06 am

down to 134 left

10:06 am

I thought it had an irregular orbit and therefore couldn't be considered a true planet. It's just a lump of revolving rock now.

10:06 am

a dwarf planet

10:06 am

and hi

10:06 am

af 5?

10:06 am

dwarf planet, never heard that term

10:07 am

hi hego

10:07 am

But I don't know, I've heard some talk of some scientists that think it should be put back

10:07 am

can't be a star because its not a sun

10:07 am

I knew that

10:07 am

they made it up just for Pluto, I think.

10:08 am

A + the rest of the word is a bit like potato chips.

10:08 am

11:23 am

abba was never in for me

11:24 am

11:24 am

I had teenagers when abba was popular, so got a steady dose of it for a while

11:29 am

nu5 is one of those words that should not be.

11:29 am

Ahh sorry, Nan..A bit like the word denude.

11:29 am

how could one be more naked?

11:29 am

like de6

11:29 am

Oh Nan, you are so lucky that you don't get slammed for questioning the legitimacy of words.

11:29 am

Hubby had a classic rock group, so I better like it.

11:30 am

Canadians get a pass on slamming for questioning words :D

11:30 am

I have a friend who is in an old guy rock band.

11:31 am

there are too many old guy rock bands in my opinion

11:31 am

Bill isn't in a group anymore. He does solo stuff.

11:31 am

Perhaps you could use NU5 if you got too much sun and your skin is peeling..you could be NU5 then..lol

11:32 am

or in a mortuary

11:32 am

All we talk about is, what do you think of this or that song etc.

11:32 am

funny Ru.

11:32 am

Did they produce any records, Hego?

11:32 am

He freely admits that some guys need to put down their guitars, but won't. And from what I have seen, there are some old guys who should never have started rock groups to begin with.

11:32 am

Toodle pips, Ruru.

Hi all. Just starting and good thing with a grid this size! Beautiful sunny spring day here in the great Northwest.

Good Day Stidgmere! how are you this sunny morning! Yep, I'm working but it's lunch for 4 more minutes :-)

1:27 pm

Was an interesting day today had a student couple get into a savage verbal fight in the halls, and had to separate that. Additionally, we have an entire class having epic meltdowns over the much beloved 5 paragraph structured essay. I swear that the pyramids were build with less sweat and anguish that these essays:/

1:27 pm

Howdy, Stidgmere

1:28 pm

lol, my typing and tenses go to heck when i get home;)

1:28 pm

Love lunch, mccurl.

1:30 pm

Are the weeks going as fast for you as I feel?

1:30 pm

The days and weeks seem to blur by

1:33 pm

About the time I think we should be celebrating the summer, it is back to winter. Maybe I need a change of hemisphere or is it more a latitutde problem. Australian vacation might be what I'm thinking of.

1:33 pm

You just go from hot to less hot:) Just try not to acclimatize too much and you can wear shorts all year long:)

1:34 pm

cross, i DO understand about being a teacher.. and thank god that i never had to do it. I am positive that if i had to teach , i would be in jail becaujse i would have killed lf of the little dears before lunch on the first day

1:35 pm

I think my brother, in his first year in Vegas, never wore long pants for the first 8 months:)

I'm drinking Pepsi Max

5:39 pm

what are you drinking molly?

5:40 pm

bichon what is different about it then regular pepsi anyway? i drank a few sips of it once and it didn't taste any different to me?

5:41 pm

Pepsi Max has no calories.

5:41 pm

oh is that the only difference from the regular?

5:43 pm

I drink no calorie soda due to health reasons and I don't care for alcohol because it makes me feel funny

5:44 pm

Hmm, I thought the whole point of alcohol was to make you feel funny : D

5:47 pm

bichon and hangovers are not fun though I don't drink much myself

5:48 pm

ae6?

5:49 pm

I don't like feeling funny

5:49 pm

me either bichon can be kind of scary at times

5:58 pm

guess I came in at the right time....That funny feeling may be a sign you are allergic to something. I have problems with Rye in all forms! Been so long I can't remember which is which. If you get dizzy on a sip, you're allergic and should switch to something else.,,I went to bourbon!

5:59 pm

No gin - drink vodka.

6:04 pm

Well, off of drink and on to food. We had the first ears of fresh corn on the cob tonight. What a great taste of nature's best.
