yesterday afternoon went very well. Lovely doctor, sense of humour, thorough, and he gives me the green light. I think that means it is going to happen. Will hear for sure on the 28th.

phantom: protected

2:41 am

good thanks, up earlier than I wanted but Crumble was hungry and demonstrated this by jumping on my head until I got up.

2:42 am

Bad Crumble!

2:43 am

Crumble's timing is off, but wow, did he/she manage to find a clear way to express himself!

how you doing, rose?

2:47 am

she finds batting my head repeatedly with her paw whilst purring to be increadibly effective. This is because I now hide my wedding ring when I take it off at night as she used to pick it up in her mouth and run off with it

2:47 am

next infusion on monday, mrp. and have a new cream to rub into the nerve

2:48 am

roflol! Such a smart cat! Not easy to sleep in with her though... but funny :)

2:48 am

You'll feel much better after that.

2:48 am

Funny cat!

yes indeed... I hope that helps you darling

2:49 am

when i took birth control pills she would swipe them as she knew I could risk her swallowing any. She pretends she is the thick one of the three but really she is the smartest

2:49 am

another weeks or so and pain doc will have his new rooms set up, including an area where patients can sit while have just their magnesium infusion between ketamine infusions.

2:50 am

That's great Rose.

2:51 am

2:51 am

2:51 am

They offered to do that for us on the whale watching cat

2:52 am

2:53 am

We always get the front seat anyway- they let us on early.

2:53 am

3:07 am

3:07 am

Or just get the neighbour back?

3:07 am

3:07 am

My thoughts

3:11 am

our rose is after a squirrel again... ;)

3:12 am

i am here!! just letting you lot flap your gums in peace...lolll

I must retract... this is a good grid!

3:13 am

*takes rose's hand and makes her wave after jbp and Liz* Good girl :D

3:13 am

yes it is, mrp

3:13 am

yes it is mrp. i found it flowed really well

3:13 am

snap, rose, grin.

yes it is! maddi and I are doing this together and finding many words :))

3:14 am

oh, they went and i didn't say goodbye or anything.

3:14 am

hi maddi :)

jinx you two!

3:14 am

squirrels, rose, squirrels. You can't deny it.

hi sprite, how is caya

she is on facebook with maddi

3:15 am

yes i can. it mightn't be true, but i can deny it.

3:15 am

caya is doing really great, maddi. She will graduate next year. And then she will go to the other end of our country to study applied linguistics. How are you doing?

3:16 am

true, dat, rose. You can. Quite convincingly even, lol.

I am graduating in 2 months then heading to Uni

3:16 am

* chuckling quietly* ummmm...

3:16 am

awesome! How are your exams going? And what do you think to take as your major?

3:17 am

*still thinks of maddi as a leggy teenager* feeling old

Exams are stressful obviously and I want to do journalism

I am 17 and 1/2 now

3:18 am

oh, niceeee maddi! And yeah, exams are always stressful. You need to keep faith in yourself and just breathe... through it all ;)

3:18 am

*now weeping quietly*

3:18 am

same age as caya. Yes Katie, they grow up. Young adults now, those kids you knew as kids...

3:19 am

It happens so quickly as well. We are going up to see my neice and nephew today and they are 12 and 15 and I wonder how it happened

3:20 am

there there, Katie. There there *does Sheldon impersonation*

3:20 am

thank you Sprite ;)

3:21 am

the problem is the same as with your cat, Katie. You can try not to feed them, but they always find ways to make you.

3:21 am

It teaches me for being away for so long otherwise I would have 'seen' Maddi growing up

3:21 am

lmao sprite

3:23 am

*giggle*

3:24 am

she is now fast asleep, when I get to the end of the grid I am going to wake her up

3:24 am

gently pat her on the head repeatedly until she wakes, Katie. That might teach her (NOT)

3:25 am

could have sworn teleost is a word

3:27 am

poor crumple

3:28 am

she is lucky she didn't wake himself up as he would shake her violently awake at every opportunity for the rest of the week

3:28 am

teleost: Any of various fishes of the group Teleostei, having a protrusible upper jaw and including most of the ray-finned fishes. Stupid enable. Doesn't know its fishes.

3:28 am

awwww he is vengeful, your husband!

3:29 am

yep, a lovely lovely man until crossed

3:29 am

as long as he is quick to forgive you :)

3:30 am

he never gets mad with me bless him, not that we don't squabble in a normal way

3:30 am

squabbling is healthy, I think.

3:31 am

to quote forrest gump... i need to pee

3:31 am

me to sprite, to be able to deal with things shows a strength not a weakness

3:31 am

go break that potty, rose

3:31 am

to quote my mum "well go pee"

3:31 am

I totally agree with that, Katie

3:33 am

half way so I am going to make some breakfast and wake the cat up, be back later to list and see where I get to :)

3:34 am

enjoy your breakfast, Katie :)

3:34 am

thass better. enjoy brekkie katie.

3:34 am

empty bladder is nice :D

3:35 am

ah, my favorite toy is in the grid again

3:36 am

*giggle* that's exactly whati thought. sprite's favourite toy is here. she will be happy.

3:36 am

I am :D

3:38 am

your beloved is in the grid too, rose. In plural.

3:39 am

hm funny thing... both our husband's names can be used as verbs.

3:39 am

your love puts the clothes on, and mine steals them away.

3:40 am

yeah !! i amtrying to ignore him at the mo'. he has had a shower and is sitting here nekkid withb just his dressing gown on. he says he is hoping his luck will change.... lolll

3:40 am

if only you had the energy, lol.

3:41 am

maybe on tuesday, after the infusion day.

3:42 am

that would be great. You are already on a high from being almost painfree then :D

3:43 am

we are planning a day out on tuesday. movie and perhaps lunch.

3:43 am

sounds like a plan!

3:44 am

hello., I haven't been here much and miss everybody, but I feel too rotten to sit up

3:44 am

hi ruby *hugs* Am so sorry to hear you are feeling rotten. How are you going through your days, and how and where is your husband?

3:44 am

poor ruby. * gentle hugs and butterfly kisses *

3:45 am

Treatment starts on Tuesday and the wheels have started turning for Burt's situation. I just can't bring myself to eat

3:46 am

it is tough to eat when feeling so rotten. But make yourself anyway, ruby. If you can't stomach anything else, try something like Modifast. Your body needs the strength.

4:00 am

fireflies... *hugs* to my friends. Rose, I hope you will sleep better tonight. Ruby, all the best and lots of *hugs*. And to you all, a blessed day and a peaceful night.

4:00 am

WTG SPRITE!!!!! xoxox sweetie. hope you can enjoy your day.

5:12 am

hugs and all best wishes to you, Ruby -- have looked for you in the chog . . . will be thinking of you Tuesday as you begin treatment xxxooo

5:23 am

Tetris used to drive me crazy:(

5:23 am

I love the original music to it.

5:24 am

reminds me of the agony of those Rubics Cubes;(

5:25 am

hee hee :-)

5:25 am

Now those things....... I still can#t do one!

5:26 am

Although I did learn how to take those cubes apart perfectly without damaging them , rearrange it so it was finished, and put it back together again:)

5:26 am

So it was not a total loss;)

5:27 am

Ah now, that's cheating!! LOL..... I've done that many times with them dang things ;)

5:44 am

5:54 am

Try the fourth vowel, Aussieme.

5:54 am

Aha!! Thanks Zooz!

5:55 am

5:56 am

hello dear friends. big fatty grid, hooray!

5:56 am

Have a great day, Aussieme. And excellent that your daughter is reading books!!

5:57 am

<----Loves books.

5:57 am

Hello, Trif :-)

5:58 am

loves books too

5:58 am

Hello, Ivesy :-)

5:58 am

loves books as well

Phantoms - Voila and detect

5:59 am

good morning all...

5:59 am

My sisters son & daughter though they can read just do not bother to read books of there own accord.So sad.

6:00 am

we get so many signing up for the summer reading program. its nice to see.. the toddlers are so cute when they get their library card

6:00 am

im tutoring a boy this summer, basically doing all I can to get him up to speed, as him mom stands in the kitchen the other day and gives a speech about how much she hates to read, has always hated it, and never liked it. Gee, thanks for the support, mom dear

6:00 am

Penquis is a phantom today. She will love that. I find it sad when kids miss out on the pleasure of reading.

6:01 am

kind of like to smack her hey trif lol

6:01 am

hi molly..

6:01 am

not for the first time, ivesy

6:01 am

I used to love that, Ivesy. going upto the counter and the lady would stamp my book with the date to bring the book back.It was all mine untill that date!

6:02 am

Hello, Molly :-)

6:02 am

Trif, I imagine that mother as a cartoon and the caption is: EDUCATE MY KID, DAMN YOU!!!

6:02 am

PERFECT molly!

6:02 am

Me too, Molly, I try and get them too but they would rather play their computers :-(

6:03 am

tbh, I cant wait for this assignment to be over. the whole family is creepy. did I tell you - the lock and deadbolt their doors ALL THE TIME - even when they are home and in the house. I arrive, they unlock it to let me in, and then lock me in behind me. creeps me out!!!

6:04 am

That is unfortunate, Zoom. I have a lot of great memories of libraries and reading from when I was a kid.

6:04 am

Urgh not helpful, Trif. Jusy wondering if the lady said that to hide the fact that perhaps she can not read too well and is scared to be found out or something similar.

6:05 am

Me too, Molly, I so loved the school library.Sitting in the corner getting lost in a good book.

6:05 am

the kid I tutor doesn't even go out on his porch. I was telling him about the tadpoles that we have in our backyard. He had never heard of one. I brought some in a jar. no interest

6:05 am

Hmm, I always keep my doors locked. (goes to the creepy corner)

6:05 am

LOL

6:05 am

Aww that is so sad, Trif.

6:05 am

will join molly.. i keep doors locked too lol

6:05 am

we don't even have keys, molly. when someone does lock a door here by accident we have to call each other to figure out how to get in. country living....

6:06 am

I think I have watched too many movies where the killer just walks in an open front door : O

I think there's a difference between locking the door and deadbolting it - i.e. where you cannot leave the house without a key. I lock my doors, but I don't use the key to double lock them except at night

6:07 am

true matty.. i dont have deadbolts..

6:08 am

ugh, I hate horror movies...just. cannot.

6:08 am

I also have police officer friends who have told me many a story about home break ins.

6:10 am

Apparently there are people who go around posing as solicitors who (when no one answers the door) they try the door to see if it is open

6:10 am

-----> just noticed there are no re- words today. we will now sing the doxology

During the day, the idea is to keep people out without locking myself in (what if there's a fire and I can't find a key, or the key is where the fire is)

6:11 am

♪Praise God from whom all blessings flow♫

6:12 am

woot - just started raining buckets. guess no gardening today

6:12 am

lol

6:16 am

with all the snow we got hammered with this winter, how it can be so dry and parched outside is an endless mystery

6:16 am

Still need four Ps they are taking forever.

6:16 am

Still need four Ps they are taking forever.

6:17 am

oops sorry for the double post.

6:17 am

its okay

6:17 am

its okay

6:17 am

LOL

6:20 am

solve is my haunting phantom today....

6:23 am

good morning/afternoon babblonians :)

6:23 am

hello trader kate

6:24 am

I can't believe that 252 words in and only now I see the PO 4 & 5 madonna strike a PO4 & 5 words.What is that all about eyes! get with it! or maybe it is just my single brain cell is not working properly.

6:24 am

Hello, TK :-)

6:25 am

Still need two Ps

6:25 am

wow, it is REALLY raining! such a lovely sound....

6:26 am

Nice when you get the sound of thunder mixed in with it,Trif!

6:26 am

Zoom is getting vogue : D

6:27 am

I'll keep you posted....I miss the rather biblical thunderstorms we had in the Midwest, but do NOT miss the tornado sirens

6:27 am

Ha now that would be a funny site, Molly!

6:27 am

Good morning.

6:28 am

Hello, Sukee :-)

6:28 am

hello zooz, there is always a fish or two thaqt take a while to carch :)

6:28 am

Hi zoo.

6:28 am

*Sight

6:28 am

It's foggy here today, can't see the houses across the street.

6:28 am

I love the combination rain/wet Earth smell

6:28 am

Going to be a hot one.

6:28 am

HI Trifioso, Molly, and sukee :)

6:28 am

Hi Kate

6:29 am

i think we have that ahead of us, sukee - supposed to get v hot and muggy in a couple of days

6:29 am

We are supposed to have miserable heat tomorrow. Not looking forward to it.

6:29 am

alomost 100% humidity...

6:29 am

this is just the perfect kind of watering rain too molly - started out slow, to soften the earth, then nice and steady, so it will seep in and really do it's job.

6:30 am

not so pleasant in Pleasantville, then?

6:30 am

The heat index prediction for tomorrow is 105 - 110

6:30 am

I did see on the news here that in California somwhere on a main road lots of cars caught fire and they are struggling to put them out.

6:30 am

that's terrrible Molly!

6:30 am

Thankfully no is is reported to be seriously injured.

6:30 am

I saw a picture of cars on fire.

6:30 am

one*

6:30 am

Those are gruesome photographs Zoom

6:31 am

poor California - I don't know WHAT they are going to do....they are so desperate for rain....

Deopen = synonym for close.

6:32 am

according to siri, this rain will not last all day....so I guess I will have to sludge out there at some point. I have SO MUCH to get done outside....its easier to pull weeds out of wet ground, anyway....

6:32 am

don't see why not, matty - reopen is a word, after all!

6:33 am

Mud party at Trif's house!!

As you may guess, I'm looking for de words (have two of those to find, 6 and 7 before sending people back to their home country)

6:33 am

Whoohooo!!

6:33 am

more like a poison ivy party - that funk is EVERYWHERE

6:34 am

DE + most of a small horse + vowel

6:34 am

then plural for the DE7

6:34 am

Ty zoo

6:35 am

Welcome :-)

6:35 am

How many des are there? I have 6

6:36 am

Ten.

6:36 am

fun

6:36 am

That is some fast growing weed that poison ivy, Trif.

6:37 am

its woeful on all counts, zooz. and believe me, after 16 years of dealing with it, I have had about all I can take. all the herbicide in the world is useless. if you don't have the root, you dont' have the plant. on goes the hazmat suit....

6:38 am

I only use Round up for poison Ivy

6:38 am

round up just makes mine mad.

6:39 am

yes, Trif, but it works on PI and I can't afford anyone getting it on my property

6:40 am

it doesnt' work on my poison ivy. must be the cultivar that it is, or something....or it kills the leaves, but doesn't make it into the roots, and thus it just grows back

6:40 am

i guess a scorched earth policy is out of the question?

Thankee

6:40 am

agent orange is started to look more and more attractive, TK

6:40 am

Welcome.

6:41 am

Unless you get the roots, it's useless. But I feel that PI will out live Round up

6:41 am

where are you, last v word????? arrrgh

6:41 am

nbt

6:42 am

PT, plural.

6:42 am

have the little critter, pt plur, and a vo4

6:42 am

or it could be our sound but without the 'i'

6:43 am

vo ---- in the past...

6:44 am

I need one v too., probably the same one

I have the critters but no other Vs...

6:44 am

VO 5/18 is plural of vox

6:44 am

That was it. :)

6:45 am

ah, that did it! thanks zoo! Bottom row greyed, FEAR ME

6:45 am

TY

6:45 am

Welcome :-)

Got that five now, looking for the non-critter 4

found it!

6:46 am

There's a TS6 that's not the bug?! Argh

6:46 am

Oh my, Zoom is cluing in Latin : O

6:46 am

Hello, Hurshy :-)

6:47 am

6:47 am

Hello, Bichon :-)

6:48 am

brb....dog wants out...foolish creature! HATE wet dog smell....

6:48 am

Two completely different meanings for that ts6. The dictionary says it is someone who takes LSD

Ta!

6:49 am

it's the upper left T that's bothering me, right of the bat, te4 and that's all i can see

6:49 am

hi Zooz, matty, Molly, hurshy

6:49 am

A dog has got to do what a dog what it needs to do, Trif. Better than doing it in the house. I would rather a wet dog smell than any other doggy smell..lol

6:49 am

Hi bich

6:49 am

hi sukee

6:49 am

I am missing pet smells...

6:50 am

Ah. Ts6 is a dinosaur. (Just kidding).

D'OH

1:15 pm

I am here ..just showing a modicum of modesty TK

1:15 pm

Hi Ru

1:15 pm

**fling me a herring for that one*

1:15 pm

Hey ruru!

1:15 pm

admirable restraint ruru, you are to be commended :D

1:15 pm

Ru, why the pallets?

1:16 pm

want sour cream with that herring Aussie?

1:16 pm

it's one of my good days TK.. (few and far between)

1:16 pm

did you get your wine all moved?

1:16 pm

Might as well Kate :D

1:16 pm

good - as in - behaving?

1:17 pm

<flings sour cream in Aussieme's general direction>

I discovered yesterday, by accident, via Twitter and LinkedIn, that a redundancy isn't always a redundancy. Less than a month after I left someone has been hired into my exact role. Furthermore, I ended up staying in the job longer than I might have done to try to save it as one client wanted email expertise. I was told they loved what I did, but didn't want to pay for it. This clearly turns out not to be exactly the truth.

1:17 pm

cleaning up the mess.

1:18 pm

*catches sour cream in special dish-mitt*

1:18 pm

Sorry to hear that Matty.

1:18 pm

sorry hego... matty! no!!!! that's awful! anything to be don about it?

1:18 pm

sirs

1:18 pm

Oh POOH!!

It may be illegal

Here in the UK. I intend to find out

1:19 pm

Good for you!

I am tired of being silent because it might piss people off. Or it might mean I 'burn bridges'. I'm bloody sick of it. I am a camel and this is the straw

I roll over always for the sake of peace and professionalism and an easy life. But I'm well pissed off

1:21 pm

<ducks and waves white flag screaming "friendly", >

1:21 pm

then you should give it to them with both barrels kate! you're all fired up, now just figure out who to aim at...

Heh - Don't worry, you're a Kate. And Canadian. You're cool ;)

1:22 pm

Kates are by and large firebrands, methinks.... go tear their metaphorical eyes out!

Well, I spoke to ACAS and my next step is to write a note to HR to find out exactly what's going on. I can then choose to take it further with a mediation service. In the UK (unlike the wild west that is the US) being made redundant means your job no longer exists - they're not supposed to hire someone in your place within three months

I really liked that job and worked hard to keep it so I'm upset, hurt and pissed (in the American sense)

1:24 pm

wild west?

1:24 pm

I wish you luck Matty.

1:24 pm

Matty, taken from a government website : For you to be made redundant your job has to cease to exist completely; your employer is not allowed to take on someone else to directly replace you. However, even when an employer has made redundancies they are still able to recruit new members of staff to fill different roles in different areas of the business or in different locations.

1:25 pm

They can't do that here either matty.. but proving things can be a bit difficult...do you have someone "on the inside" to help you?

1:25 pm

Gets out her lasso and spurs....

1:26 pm

Ok, off to finish dinner...... Later peoples xox

1:26 pm

Bye Aussie

1:27 pm

ttfn aussie

According to this dudes linked in, it's EXACTLY my job. Word for word.

Same department, same job title, same job description, same clients

1:27 pm

I am fully prepared to give horrid clues, typed very badly if anyone wants to take a chance...

I called ACAS yesterday, they suggested I write to HR and politely ask for clarification. I asked my boss via text and he pretty much admitted it was the same role (though claimed it was contract)

Kate - OV5?

1:28 pm

ty Kate, I'm going along here.

1:28 pm

can you take a screen shot of linkdin?... if you can do it and save it in a few different places...

Yep, took the screen shot of that and his Twitter. :) It's saved on my Mac - personal computer

1:29 pm

email it to yourself too...

1:29 pm

o 5/16 altenate same vowel with an L.,

1:30 pm

i will try to think of something clever for it later ;|)

Is that the ov clue?!

1:30 pm

yes.. sorry... working on better one

Is that alternate? Or alienate?

1:31 pm

1:31 pm

1:31 pm

o + most of vo 4 critter + another of the same vowel

1:32 pm

1:48 pm

ultimate clue for or 5/10... The C*** ** Green is a 1945 drama film starring Bette Davis as a schoolteacher determined to bring education to a Welsh coal mining town, despite great opposition. It was adapted from the play of the same name by Emlyn Williams.

tow isn't a good word to use in San Francisco

1:49 pm

1:50 pm

you get towed for minor infractions?

1:51 pm

being towed in Sf is a really bad and expensive process

That's cuz they have to lug the cars up and down all those hills

1:51 pm

and your car gets damaged an you have no recourse

1:51 pm

I take it they tow, not ticket frequently?

1:51 pm

yes.. they tow all day long in SF

1:52 pm

:( mental note to take th trolley cars when visiting...

1:52 pm

certain streets have lanes for commuting through the parking zones.. and after 4 if your car is still there. it is gone.. it is a huge money making scam by the city of SF

1:54 pm

I haven't done that for a long time. I really hate it when I do this too. But you're right; I should just enjoy and stop competing with myself; right?

9:30 pm

that is what we are taught to do. Live in the moment and let the rest go. I just find it hard to do.

Bugs, Matthew came over and we made progress (of a sort) hauling things out of the garage, including that awful bed frame. And Tom and I have a plan (of sorts) for getting the wellhouse that you fortunately never saw cleaned out and made more useful by the end of the summer. And I realized that if I do NO MORE planning of ANY kind until the week before school when I must be in the building anyway... I will be a month ahead of where I was last year. So... pressure off and suddenly I feel more productive. :-D

9:34 pm

tessing, tossing, as long as its choclits, we're good!

9:34 pm

we are having another hot stretch and I am wilting

9:34 pm

ALSO, we made it (Tom and I) to the ocean today to see the sandcastle Grant and Tabitha built for a competition... AFTER the waves took off the ocean side, but before the main edifice crumbled. :-D

9:35 pm

I know - it's one reason we went to the beach. It was hot there, too -- but the car rides were air conditioned! LOL

9:35 pm

great news that Matthew is ready to help collect and sort his tuff. Keeping grown kids stuff is the bane of all parents of adult kids

9:35 pm

how sad that you didn't get to see the whole thing. What did they make?

9:35 pm

stid; you need to take some time off of school for your own sanity. Teachers should take a break other wise it can get to you

9:36 pm

Well, the materials he wants to keep he has to put into boxes that fit in the attic. So it's up to him...

9:36 pm

I am so glad that you are able to let go of the pressure of school invading your mind

9:36 pm

I took almost a whole week off when Bugs came to visit! *proud mama look* I even actually fell asleep one evening while we were hanging out... LOL

9:36 pm

LOL! No drooling, I hope?

9:37 pm

ah, Matthew just brought some supper! Pork steaks, green salad and a khichadi (the same rice thing we ate when you were here Ann)

9:37 pm

I hope not, Nef! LOL

9:37 pm

I agree with Nef. Most people do not realize how hard it is on you mentally to be a teacher. You need to step away more frequently so you don't burn out too fast

9:37 pm

hugs to Matthew and everyone else there, stid.

9:38 pm

Burnout is as bad for teachers as it is for nurses, stid.

9:38 pm

for sure, Nef and Bugs -- I am trying very hard to spend most of my time on the garden and house now.

9:39 pm

supper sounds good, but I've never heard of khichadi before (off to Google now)

9:39 pm

it came in a package Nef and it was really good. Nice flavour and good nutrition too

9:40 pm

I hear something beeping somewhere in the house; BRB

9:40 pm

I got some packets of khichadi that are pre-measured with a separate spice packet. Makes it quicker and easier for me.

9:41 pm

and me too

9:41 pm

did my icon change yet

9:43 pm

hi cos. You have a ring here but your profile is a dog (did you get a new one?)

9:44 pm

yes got her today she just warmed up to me and will not stop licking me she is as of now lol

9:45 pm

I have 3 things that make a high-pitched beeping sound; whatever was beeping stopped once I got out of the room.

9:46 pm

(oh, and none of the 3 things in the house that beep like that are plugged in or able to beep right now

9:47 pm

What's your dog's name, cos? How old is she? Is she a rescue?

9:48 pm

(I like your ring, too)

9:49 pm

9:49 pm

9:50 pm

9:51 pm

So, is that now 2 dogs & 2 cats, cos?

9:51 pm

it won't be long before you look like a prune

9:52 pm

hi all. i need a clue for the 10 please. i have the 9.

9:52 pm

well yes.. i got another dog a year ago... but then Paco passed away last month ad red dog is lonely... and our black cat died so we got another one.. so yeah 2 and 2

9:52 pm

it is the word for Beam my up Scotty

9:53 pm

Oh, I'm sorry that you lost 2 pets, cos. I didn't realize that.

9:53 pm

cosdem I am sorry about your pets dying. It is always hard

9:53 pm

excactly 6 months apart... it was awful

9:54 pm

cat died on last day of chirstmas break while paco died first day of summer break.. it was so... ugh.

9:54 pm

(((Cos)))

9:55 pm

They must have wanted you there, cos

9:55 pm

9:55 pm

((((gentle hugs for cos))))

9:56 pm

thanks :) elly will help

9:56 pm

that was afast meal stid. How nice of Matthew to bring it. He is getting more grown up all the time.

9:56 pm

We had to put our dog down the end of January; I want another but DH says No. I'll try again this fall....

9:57 pm

about time if you ask me, Bugs?

9:57 pm

How old is he now, stid?

9:57 pm

aw im sorry nef.

9:59 pm

stid, you are forgetting to notice the signs of success just as you would a younger one. They will always be our children no matter how old they are.

9:59 pm

nm got it.

10:00 pm

He was 16, and once our son & grandson moved out (at Christmas); poor old JC suddenly became very senile: barking at nothing, incontinent, and just wandering around lost.

10:00 pm

Once I was with you and your mother and you wondered out loud, "If I got a tatoo, I wonder where I would put it?" The look your mother flashed you was hysterical!

10:00 pm

I tried to give you a clue mkg. Perhaps I should have put your name in the chog.

10:01 pm

How sad, Nef. She must have truly missed them.

10:03 pm

He did. But our grandson & my "adopted" grandkids (a former neighbors' kids) really miss him also

10:05 pm

and you had another loss. No wonder your husband is reluctant to love again

10:08 pm

Well, we still have the cat we inherited from DH's aunt when she died 4 years ago; and right now we are also "blessed" with our daughter's cat (who is now sick & isolated in the downstairs bedroom) until our daughter gets her own home.

10:08 pm

(She did make an offer on a house yesterday! WOOT!)

10:09 pm

I hope she gets it and it makes her dreams come true.

10:10 pm

i didnt want another dog yet.. wasnt ready.. told ryan it would be HIS dog.. but now that we have her.... my heart is filling up a bit

10:11 pm

that is what happens cos. They get you every time

10:11 pm

besides she doesnt like ryan yet,, lloves me though..

10:11 pm

yep. They do.

10:18 pm

Sorry, we are watching a show together. My children will make their own way in life, their own decisions and their own mistakes. They will find their own successes, and hopefully their own happiness. I am glad they are growing up, but like any mother bird watching the brood test their wings I am anxious on their behalf because their life experiences (fortunately) don't give them reason to be anxious! :-)

10:19 pm

i wish all kids were so lucky, stid

10:20 pm

I know you love your kids stid. I hope I did not offend. I love it that you raised them in an environment where they learned not to be anxious.

10:22 pm

no offense taken, Bugs -- you are thoughtful and wise!

10:22 pm

so glad.

10:24 pm

I can't even find 4 lettre words with the list. I need a break. hugs all round

10:24 pm

(((BUGS))) see you soon

10:32 pm

10:35 pm

10:36 pm

I just got under 100. Going to hang it up also. Eyes are tired. Have a lovely rest of your weekend, all! *poof*

10:45 pm

orns

10:45 pm

Sorry. I need to go tend to the sick cat; maybe I'll find more words when I come back

10:57 pm

ok she finally decided to lie down and give me a break

11:26 pm

Back. Darn cat; I wish she'd use her litter box! :-(

11:27 pm

I am back too. Sorry about the sick cat and extra chores you have because of it Nef. I hope she recovers soon.

11:27 pm

does anyone have a clue for the ri 6 word, please?

11:27 pm

My last one.

11:29 pm

nevermind. found it

11:29 pm

a French word for risky

11:29 pm

Me too. First we had to confine her for a week & put ear drops in every 12 hours; now she has a bacterial gut infection & is now on oral antibiotics (liquid) every 12 hours; & remains isolated from our cat for another 5 days.

11:30 pm

YAY, Bugsaw!!! WTG!!!

11:31 pm

(and thanks for the ri6!

11:32 pm

i hope kitty feels better soon

11:36 pm

Me too, cos. I'm mad at my dtr that she isn't being more responsible about caring for her cat. But I did tell her she had to take her in both times & she did pay the vet bills. This is a Manx cat; they have a double coat of fur; *I* am allergic to cat dander; so this cat has been here for 3 months now & I'm really in need of a break for my sinuses.

11:38 pm

oh dear thats not good. i hope you get a break soon :( ryan is allergic to cats but not anymore...

11:39 pm

Claritin & sudafed are my friends right now.

11:40 pm

I've done okay with our cat and when my son lived here with his cat he shaved it; but this cat -- not fun. (Plus she pees & poops in the bathtub instead of her litter box!)

11:42 pm

my cat poops on a specific spot on the couch every day.. its gotten so tiresome i dont even sit there anymore lol

11:42 pm

just once a day at the same exact spot..

11:43 pm

Have you tried puppy pads or the litter with pheromones in it?

11:44 pm

i did buy puppu pads today for elly so i have that

11:44 pm

(this cat pees on puppy pads; and if we use the special (expensive) litter for her, she pees & poops in the box but then lays in it!

11:45 pm

(she a very neurotic cat as you can tell)

11:46 pm

lol cats are so....they are such jerks but.. theyre cats so its their job

11:47 pm

I've never had a cat do this type pf thing before.

11:47 pm

what did the vet say

11:49 pm

This isn't new behavior, cos. The vet gave us all of the usual suggestions (puppy pads, special litter, training, etc)

11:50 pm

so shes healthy besides the issues u mentioned?

11:50 pm

159 left. think i can do it?

11:51 pm

My daughter raised her from about 3 weeks old because the mother rejected this kitten. I had her littermate brother from about 2 months old until we had to put him down at 18 months (poor cat was a 3rd generation "rumpy" --tail less Manx); he started developing neurological issues , rear end paralyzed, he had no feeling in his back legs, etc.

11:52 pm

He'd done well up until things went wrong. So we had to put him down...

11:53 pm

aww that is sad

11:53 pm

This cat was thrown head first into a wall when she was about 4 - 6 months old by daughter's boyfriend at the time (and she dropped him right away after that!

11:55 pm

she shld have prosecuted for animal cruelty but good for her for dropping him!

11:55 pm

so maybe she's neurotic and brain damaged. She's definitely imprinted on my dtr. though; and I wouldn't be surprised if that is part of why she's getting sick: she's missing her owner

11:56 pm

that would explain it... when is she back

11:56 pm

She was a college student at the time; no money to prosecute him; but I think that he did get beaten up when he did it

11:57 pm

at least he got that.. i despite violence but when it comesd to animals.....

11:58 pm

Dtr has made an offer on a house yesterday; *hopefully* it will pass inspection & she can close in a month or so.

11:59 pm

1 minute left; we won't finish this

148 - next grid size

11:59 pm

79

11:59 pm

the end is near then
