good morning all
phantom: hacienda
whoot !! good morning and {{hugs}} dear sprite.
hello my dear friend *hugs* How was your day?
not too bad. have taken all days to put on three loads of washing... lollll. how was your night?
good, pacing yourself is the ticket ;) My night was ok. Bit of trouble finding a position that did not hurt so much it kept me awake, lol. But in between turning, I slept pretty well. Feeling better today.
oh i am so pleased dear.
me too :) It is King's Day today, here. National holiday.
how interesting !! are you doing anything special?
And back from the gym - straight to babble - catch up with friends. Lucky me! Hugs :)
not sure yet. I might go out to the shopping center here and check out the freemarket. On King's Day, everybody is allowed to sit down on the sidewalks and sell their stuff without a permit.
And thanks for the e mail, sprite - just skim-read it. Will read it in more detail later.
{{hugs}} and hi liz girl
and there is our Liz! *hugs* and hi. Well done on the exercise!
whenever suits you, Liz, no hurry :D
Achy back today - beach was a bit sloped this am and that's how I hurt my back in the first place.
ouch :( Be careful, Liz. Gentle with that back.
Yes, I am careful - don't do more than I can if my back's sore. And it was only a small section of beach that was sloping. As I said to hubby - an 8 out of 10 day on the beach today!
ah, I'll take an 8 out of 10 any day!
Me too actually. It was lovely.
Strange looking grid - sort of unbalanced.
very. And then all those Rs at one side and all those vowels at the other. Ugh.
not as nice as yesterdays. bit of a slog, actually.
ok. It is official, I hate oat bran. Not the taste per se. But it sticks to my palate and teeth!
I only have one 7 letter word :(
Now that doesn't sound nice.
ugh, sprite. nothing worse in my opinion.
very irritating, lol.
I have 3 sevens so far. And one of them is a fish! I found the babble fish again!
I've found a fish and the big cat was my first word.
good one, Liz!
At least I'm over half way
But it's not going quickly for me today.
yeah me too, but after halfway it is going slowly
OK - time for shower and snack, so hugs to you both. Perhaps I'll catch one or both of you later.
bye Liz, have a lovely evening :) *hugs*
enjoy, liz girl. xoxoxox
is your head a little cl5er than yesterday, rose?
actually it is. i was able to and wanted to attempt a couple of my big crosswords today.
nice! Feels so much better, doesn't it. That fuzzy feeling is horrible.
indication of how i had been feeling before the infusion day.... there were four of them waiting to be done.
french garden is not valid :(
it is a great thing your doctor decided you have to have an infusion every 2 weeks.
will see how i go. he is open to infusing me when i say i need the magnesium. i will try to stretch it out as much as possible.
I thought you said it would be a fortnightly thing?
but knowing that i can have them as early as two weeks gives me a lot of peace of mind.
brb, going to check dryer.
right, sheets in. back...
wb
as i was saying, i can have them every two weeks, if i need them. it may be three weeks, more or less. i will let my body tell me.
ah, I see. Well, I hope you won't try to stretch it out too much.
no way. not going back to that state of being again.
good!
fireflies. Some latin plurals as last words.
so tell me more about this free market. what sort of goods are there? and are the prices comparable to stores and shops?
am gonna lie down again for a bit, am dizzy. *hugs* my dear friend, sleepw ell :D
WTG SPRITE !!!
oh okay dearest. hugs and kisses. xoxox
it is everything people want to sell, from furniture to knicknacks, clothes to pans, games to books. And prices are very very low. Like 50 eurocent for a book, or 3 euro for a chair.
*hugs* again and poof
sprite, check you BSL
Can anyone please clue the ae6/21?
add a consonant to the ae5
Thanks Rose. Coulda sworn I'd tried that :)
xoxox matty
Good morning, my Friends:)

g'day crossy
((rose))
ty for ra 6 rosie:)
Good morning all.
Howdy, Sukee
how's my mate today?? and good morning sukee.
Doing well, rose, and you?
ditto, crossy. brain fog appears to have cleared. i did two big crosswords today.
very nice. it is good to be able to to those small, enjoyable things in life:)
Brain fog is nasty; you cannot sleep, you are half-awake, and unable to really do anything.
i had four which i hadn't even started because i was feeling so yuck.
I love crosswords. I have an app on my iPad that gives me 4 or 5 new ones every day.
Hello again! Hope your Monday is treating you well... I have two left - the na5/12 and the re6/24 - would you mind hinting?
I keep a crossword app on my tablet:)
Howdy, Matty
sukee, these are general knowledge crosswords. like what was the name of the architect who designed such-and such building. i love doing the research. i have many reference books. i only google if i can't find my answers in them.
na5, water nymph
re6, to put clothes on again
Damn, I ALWAYS miss that one - thanks Rose
ty, used to seeing that spelled otherwise
Thanks - that's me done - they're always obvious once you have them :)
WTG MATTYGROVES !!!
Ty for the clues Rose.
I've gotten into the adult coloring fad :) That is another way to keep the mind sharp :) Bought a new set of coloured pencils :)
Hi, I'm Susan and I am addicted to smileys.
Good morning
Hi car.
Sukee, do you know of Johanna Basford's work in that field?
If not, I would look it up. She is very talented
Yes, I have seen the book.
Actually. I think we discussed this before :)
Its called Secret garden, and it is selling like crazy
Yes, I checked on Amazon and her books are on back order.
Did, we? Well, most likely, as my memory is horrid sometimes
I've been downloading some for free. Got one page from her book.
I will repeat things. it's going to happen. Just nod your head, smile, and tell me to go have a tea:)
Well, I had forgotten I mentioned colouring on here before :)
Too bad they no longer made Doodle-Art
I think this might get me back into doing some drawing of my own.
Even bought an electric pencil sharpener :)
I used to spend hours with those furry posters and a box of markers:)
Me too crossy.
This was, of course, before the Internet :)
I was not an overly social teen so lots of books and Doodle Art :)
Yup. I was also a pinball wizard. Also long before the internet. So many good things are gone;(
Books were my friends for the most part as well growing up.
When I skipped school I would go to the library and read Steinbeck :)
Bet we can both remember the day we got our first adult card for the library:)
Darn it, I have to stop with the smileys.
Nothing wring with smileys
I was always a library fan and then became a library technician as an adult.
they are not bugging anyone, and if they are, they can change the channel
smile away:) :) :)
Well, I have to go get ready to go out. At least it's mild today even though it looks like rain.
minus 2c and threatening snow here;(
Have a good day.
tc , Sukee

Thanks, Rose
On a tad of a sad/happy note: It is amazing what can, though various circumstances, become precious in our lives. After my beloved's family fought over the estate like a pack of wild dogs over scraps of meat, all of mother-in laws jewelry was forced to be liquidated, even though my beloved is the only surviving female in the family. The bright side is that the estate lawyer deemed 30 pieces of costume jewelry totaling 1000 dollars in value too insignificant to to liquidate as no real cash value would be realized by selling them piecemeal. Now 2 years after her mums passing my beloved can wear them happily and have something tangible to remember her mum by-- even if it is naught but man-made rocks and paste. They are indeed more valuable than diamonds now to her.
okay re email liz. will look forward to it. ;-)
I am watching her try on a few to wear for the day:)
that is sweet, crossy....I really am glad you shared taht
Oh I am so happy for her Crossy :)
:)
Otherwise, hopefully the simplest answer to your question, is in the evening - after 6.00, I'd hope.
so glad crossy.
My daughter is now wearing her greatgrandmother's ring
That's awesome Crossy - happy for you and Elegant.
Lawyer released them a month ago
some of my favorite pieces are things the kids made me, or things friends have given - not precious by world standards, but more than precious to me.
Agreed, trif
car, please let me know how things go today -- feeling AWFUL I have to work....
I'm waiting for her to wake up to see how the eye looks. I gave her a Zyrtec last night just in case it was allergy related.
car, I get swollen eyes from allergies
good move! From what I am hearing, this year's allergy season could be a record breaker. Of course, if you ask that dinosaur who fathered us, he will tell you it's ALL BECAUSE OF HILLARY
I use eye drops for that
Our allergen index is through the roof this year:(
Zyrtec is my buddy
is that related to the heavy snow this winter?
Aspen and poplar trees are top of the list atm
lol, still going to snow today. winter will not let us go easily this year
... three quarters ... but the last ten were really hard ... ... this one will require all the help that lickety can give ... .. but that's for later ... ... a good day and good luck for everyone ...
Fireworks!
well done!
Let's blame global warming, everything can be trace to it
ty for all your help doseffing..HAGD!
no way! How will you pass the rest of the day????lololol huzzah for car!
Global warming is indeed real, but not everything on the planet can be laid at its feet
Congrats, car
bichon, according to my dad, global warming is also all nonsense, spread BY HILLARY - honestly, it's so exhausting....
OK...now I have to deal wtih Dylan. He fell asleep on the couch and then woke up around 3. Now he has fallen back asleep and is a grumpy bumpy and crying about getting up. <sigh>
coffee for Dylan~!
Amen, Crossy.
AND there is a super cute doggy at my side wanting to play squeaky ball!
I can easily see global warming just by driving north of our treeline. large swaths of previously good land is now a morass of sinkholes and a quagmire of mud
dont' get me wrong, I love my dad. but Whoooooo the grumpy factor increases by the decade! well, that and he watches Fox news all day....God help us all
Oh.. fox.. that is one step above getting all your news from the national enquirer;)
Matt and I laugh about that...HE is not the one who puts it on....
HE watches it all damn day
ugh
OK...I must go. HAGD all {{group}}
Does he rant at the TV Trif?
good luck with the grumpy pickle
HAGD

Wife was surfing those porn site again. Just finished running Malwarebytes and got over 415 hits on the scan--one of which was a nasty virus. Quarantined them, restored the computer to its settings from two days ago. The virus knew it was being evicted, so on its way out the thing corrupted all my security programs. Had to re-install the lot of them:/
My computer was likewise sickly for a few days. Bothersome when I can't bring up my provide sites.
running a fresh install of Malwarebytes now for a second sweep and it found 86 more that were in deep hiding
it is a pain:(
I will run another security program as a back-up tomorrow. that should get rid of the last of those pesky buggers;)
How are you this fine evening, stidgmere?
Um. Your wife was surfing porn?
