hi and thanks Sprite

1:34 am

{{hugs}} and good morning dearest sprite. xoxox how are you today?

1:36 am

*hugs rose* good evening, dear friend. Great to see you :) I am ok. Tired, and sleeping a lot. But otherwise just fine. And how are you, after the magnesium infusion?

1:37 am

still all good in that quarter. also sleeping well still

1:37 am

that is so lovely. You must be over the moon.

1:37 am

too true.

1:39 am

and how is your beloved?

1:40 am

he's good too. weather continues to be rather warm. 36C today, looking at 40C by the weekend. how is you other half?

1:41 am

he is tired as well, and more than ready for a week off. But otherwise, he is fine too.

1:45 am

last day of school for caya... Xmas market today and gala ball tonight.

1:45 am

and tim has one more day to go, last day tomorrow.

1:48 am

goodness!! i bet they are starting to get a bit antsy and anxious for the school year to finish

1:49 am

yeah they are. It was a long run till Xmas.

1:50 am

they both have outdoor plans for Xmas day and New Year. Caya will be home part of 2nd Xmas day (Boxing day?), and we have already figured out how we will celebrate. We will keep it small again :)

1:51 am

nice sprite. and you and him can have some down time together?

1:52 am

absolutely.

1:53 am

do you guys have plans for the holidays?

1:54 am

xmas day with my brother and his son. boxing day with all my brothers, wives, kids. a picnic in a park

1:54 am

sounds good

1:55 am

full blown xmas dinner with all the trimmings.

1:56 am

wow, that must be fun. Never had that. But somehow it seems a bit funny with temps like you are having, lol. Xmas should be cold... preferably with snow, even.

1:57 am

lol..... lots of lovely cold wine to wash it down too.

1:57 am

lollll ok that helps

1:58 am

and the air-con going full blast too.

2:00 am

let's see, for starters seafood cocktails, then roast turkey, ham, roast vegs with cranberry sauce and gravy. followed by Don's xmas pudding with brandy custard and cream and icecream. fresh bread rolls, nibbles...i will have to roll home...lolll

2:01 am

oh dear, lol... make sure to wear something you can loosen up...

2:01 am

*giggle* or with a stretchy waist-line.

2:02 am

we'll be having ragout with rice and peas, and for dessert pancakes with icecream and whipped cream. For me, without the whipped cream.

2:03 am

sounds nice sprite. sometimes i think we tend to overdo it.

2:05 am

rob hates every kind of obligation, he'd rather treat holidays like normal days. And I have a bad history with holidays. So we try and find some way to celebrate that fits us. Not tieing the kids down works for us, let them have fun with their friends. And keeping things simple. We don't have a Xmas tree either. But we will have lots of candles.

2:08 am

no xmas tree here either. hard to put much heart into it yet.

2:09 am

cobi is coming to stay for a couple of days in the new year. We will even have a real girl's afternoon out, lol... both going to have our nails done.

2:10 am

lovely sprite. she is such a wonderful friend to you, and i am sure it goes vice versa.

2:11 am

we are very close. Lots of love between us :) You would like her too.

2:14 am

fireflies

2:14 am

2:14 am

WTG SPRITE!!!!

2:14 am

2:15 am

2:16 am

no list this time. I listed yesterday and had to use a2z as well for a couple of words. Some real doozies!

2:16 am

what was it?? copaiba?

2:16 am

yeah that was one of them, lol

Hi crossy, how are things?

5:34 am

Not too bad at all. still waiting for real winter here, however. We need snow on our ski runs!

5:35 am

I hear it's coming in January :)

5:35 am

sadly, Chrismas break is when we really need some coverage.

5:36 am

Here I don't think it will even be cold enough to make snow.

5:36 am

I have never seen a winter this mild.

5:36 am

We MAY be able to make some this weekend

5:36 am

good morning, Crossy and Sukee! tadone! fun grid. so much better than yesterday.

Good morning

6:23 am

Hi everyone.

6:24 am

Hello!

6:26 am

Hi car. Hows you

6:26 am

I'm ok...you?

6:26 am

There is a flying squirrel in my house driving me into fits.

6:26 am

been better.

6:26 am

Oh dear. What can I do to assist?

6:27 am

Nothing really. Where I have had no money since August I had a key meter put in for my electric and everything in my house runs on electric. I ran out of electric last night so could not have dinner

6:28 am

ge

6:29 am

Oh that is tough.

6:29 am

Will you be able to update it today?

6:30 am

Am hoping so. Have an appiontment to see someone who has been trying to help me in a while. I bumped into him on the way to the library where I am now and told him briefly and he is fuming.

6:31 am

OK. I'm glad you have someone to help you. I will keep you in my prayers. ((hugs))

6:32 am

Thanks car. Has been hard going but this has just tipped it over the edge. Am really not feeling good today.

6:32 am

Medusa if i remember rightly from Watchdog or some program like that the electric company your with are not allowed to do that, i believe its against human rights etc

6:33 am

I don't know Sandr. Am rapidly losing my fight right now though

6:35 am

If its your only source of power then i'm sure i'm right that they can't do that, if you have gas as well then i think they are allowed as you can get heat.

6:36 am

i have not heard that but will mention it to Neil when I see him at 2. I only have electric

6:37 am

ring the council or the C.A.B, they'll be able to tell you straight away or give you some advice as to what to do next.

6:38 am

I can't call anyone. No credit on my phone

6:38 am

you must have internet then to be on here, email them.

6:39 am

I am using library net. Will get Neil to call them. He is great like that. That way I also got someone as a witness

6:40 am

ok, good luck, right back to work for me.

6:40 am

Ok hun. Thanks for advice.

6:49 am

I know that one. I have no electric so could not have dinner last night!

7:17 am

If only the dogs could drive....

7:18 am

what happened to the electricity?

7:18 am

Now that I could deal with right now! Looking forward to getting some money so I can get my bike

7:19 am

My meter was put on a key and I ran out of electric on the meter. I have had no money since August so not had money to do anything. Am seeing someone today that might be able to help

7:21 am

I am so sorry for your troubles, medusa

7:21 am

Right, 50left. Hopefully will be able to do them later!

7:27 am

It is around 32F at night and denseley foggy in the morning, but then the afternoons are magnifique!

7:29 am

I saw my new oncologist yesterday and like her much better thn the second one, but, because she doesns't know me, I am having to get several more tests and scas before I see her again.

7:30 am

great news ruby.

7:30 am

The cancer appears to be stable, but she thinks that radiation on my sternum might make the pain go away

7:31 am

you go girl!

7:31 am

salut, ruby! that's very encouraging, eh?

7:32 am

bonjour une. I'm just soimewhat afraid of the idea of radiation treatment

7:32 am

understandable . . .

7:33 am

Afraid that I'll be burned....

7:33 am

think of it as saving your life. My mom had radiation in the fifties and she did have burns, but not where you could see.

7:36 am

Gear

7:36 am

9:52 am

i don't understand your clue kje?

9:52 am

i just started :)

9:52 am

great pic of you and jmc, dc

9:52 am

hi dc

9:52 am

hello, mlf

9:53 am

thanks, kje. A year ago at her end of summer party.

9:53 am

sadly, i was out of town so wasn't able to attend this year.

9:53 am

there's always 2016!

9:54 am

mlf - if a younger person with mental deficits we'd start with re6... a word deemed inappropriate now

9:54 am

So long as the winter on the mountain is mild-to-normal this season, indeed!

9:55 am

kje ty that made more sense got it

9:55 am

we are hoping for lots of snow up in our mountains... need the snow pack for next summer to help with the drought

9:55 am

:)

9:56 am

kje a weatherman in our area said we will get a little snow this season but none for xmas:(

9:56 am

Last year's winter in New Lebanon, NY and the Berkshire Mountains was so severe our usual end-of June weekend got moved to end of August.

9:56 am

but i am sure in our mountains we will

9:57 am

Where i live, there's most never snow for Xmas. Growing up, i thought white xmas was a myth perpetrated by the entertainment industry.

9:57 am

Snow usually comes after New Year here.

9:57 am

that was crazy, dc! I was glad to not have been there for that. The worst year when I lived in B-more we had snow April 2... that was bad enough

9:57 am

lol dc

9:58 am

we have had snow once on xmas day since i have lived here in nc

9:59 am

Snow in April is always disappointing. I don't think that has happened this century.

9:59 am

Four times in my life here. Each time, melted by noon.

9:59 am

snow in April?

9:59 am

we had a couple white christmases in Dallas when I was growing up... the last white christmas I had in Dallas was in 2008 or 9.. and that was a horrible storm where the white was mostly ice

10:00 am

it's common further North -- northern tier, canada. Known, but reasonably uncommon ere.

10:00 am

dc are you in the Washington metro area?

10:00 am

we get a lot of ice here too.

10:00 am

yes, mlf. In Northern Virginia

10:01 am

dc true has not snowed much there in the past few yrs

10:01 am

kje is it that uncommon to have snow in texas at all?

10:01 am

this year I think Dallas will be in high 60s low 70s at xmas... not looking forward to that

10:01 am

with this El Niño we're having a really warm December.

10:01 am

We'll either have lots of snow or little because of the El Niño.

10:02 am

kje i don't like having a xmas without snow

10:02 am

it's a pleasant rainy day here today.

10:02 am

The 'panhandle' of Texas (western part) has already gotten snow this year. None in Dallas thus far.

10:02 am

yes, the weather in north texas can get quite a bit of snow but usually doesn't last long. Besides the off bad year in B-more, I would say the winters are about the same between Dallas and B-more, except they start earlier and last longer in B-more... the lows are very similar

10:03 am

dc el nino was really effective?

10:03 am

It's in teh 50s and lightly raining.

10:03 am

we are counting on el nino for rain... really need it

10:03 am

dc we have rain here too 10% chance they said and they are right

10:04 am

Yes, the west coast, not least California, really needs the rain.

10:04 am

and this fall has already been much more rainy than the last several years since I've been here (this is our rainy season now)

10:04 am

We're in the 90-100% chance.

10:04 am

glad to hear that, kje

10:04 am

parts of teas were flooded a few months ago weren'tthey?

10:05 am

yes, as I get soaked and shiver in the cold wind, I try to be thankful ; )

10:05 am

Yes, we went from severe drought to severe flooding

10:05 am

this has been our rainiest year on record, i think

10:06 am

texas sorry

10:06 am

are you in Dallas, blah?

10:06 am

clearly that is a pic of dallas in your icon

10:06 am

yes, far north. You are in Dallas as well?

10:06 am

i think we are at or above slightly for our rain percentage

10:07 am

no, San Francisco now, but have family there. I'll be flying in on the 21st

10:07 am

flying into Love at 6:05pm... first stop Uncle Julio's

10:07 am

yum! :)

10:09 am

There is certainly no shortage of good mexican and tex/mex here

10:12 am

I like CalMex too, but sometimes nothing hits the spot like TexMex. Uncle Julios has the best beef - marinated and grilled to perfection (though only the original Lemmon location, I haven't liked the other locations as much)

10:13 am

I'm luke warm on Uncle Julio's. I like Cyclone Anaya's better.

10:15 am

I think the one in Dallas closed this year

10:15 am

yeah, wasn't a fan of Cyclone up there, or Julio's... for good Mexican we would drive to Clarksburg to this small place that I cannot think of the name of right now... otherwise it was rarher disappointing up there

10:15 am

the one on Lemmon??? that would be shocking - it is packed constantly

10:17 am

We're about Salvadoran and Nicaraguan around here.

10:17 am

El Azteca - that's what it was called

10:17 am

The Cyclone on Oak Lawn

10:17 am

yes, very good Salvador places

10:17 am

oh, they rock.

10:18 am

ah, ok blah - thought you meant Julio's

10:18 am

El Migueleño on Columbia Pike in Arlington is terrific Salvadoran.

10:18 am

Oh no sorry kje, that would have been a major blow to your plans! :)

10:19 am

there was a little place in the back of a liquor store right by the hospital in B-more that made pupusas on a little grill... great to see all those white coats walking into a hole in the wall liquor store and out with sacks

10:20 am

LOL yeah, lots of that around here :)

10:20 am

Ethiopian in gas stations, too.

10:21 am

There is a great hamburger place in a gas station near my house

10:21 am

I was queen of the gas station taco review in Dallas... great tacos in the back of gas stations!

10:22 am

gas stations are not associated with food here... but there are far fewer gas stations than in dallas also

10:22 am

we have a long history of good Calmex here, not so much Texmex

10:24 am

Good 2 Go Tacos in a gas station here was so successful, they were able to open a real restaurant

10:25 am

ok, must run... work interrupts my life ; )

10:25 am

hagd all

10:35 am

Hiyas, kiddos!

10:36 am

10:37 am

10:38 am

So, are you only speaking emoji today, Phae?

10:38 am

Ah! Real words! Zinc, Vit C, Echinacea...

10:39 am

When I can!😉

10:40 am

Anyway... just fuzzy headed, scratchy throat, fever. Yuck.

10:43 am

Yuck

10:44 am

So much for getting that flu shot a week ago.

10:44 am

Oops

10:48 am

Hi, Aloy!

10:48 am

hi Judi.. all ready for Santa?

10:48 am

Humbug!

10:49 am

LOL.. I debated about doing a Holiday Family newsletter this year.. after all, we communicate on FB, email, etc.. but.. there are old friends who don't use social media

10:50 am

.. and some family members too

10:51 am

We're total Christmas slackers. Only send out a few cards. Don't really do it up much. Going to my ex Brother-in-Law's brother's house for dinner. How weird is that?

10:51 am

sounds good to me!

10:51 am

My nephew will be there... he's the one we

10:51 am

we're really going to see.

10:52 am

we were going to have a minimalist Christmas this year, but then my son has a friend who needs to adopt a family for the holidays, so.. we did the decorations etc. and are looking forward to having them both here

10:53 am

Well, that sounds like a worthwhile change of plans!

10:53 am

yup, we think so

10:54 am

his friend's mom died years ago and his dad is in the latter stages of Alzheimers, in a nursing home.. geez

10:54 am

Ugh. Home sick and the cat thinks I'm here to play.

10:54 am

rats, a bad cold?

10:55 am

Oh, major bummer about your son's friend. It will be a nice distraction for him.

10:56 am

Flu-like thing. 3rd day off work.

10:56 am

can't wait.. asked my son what his friend wanted for Christmas.. answer = a toaster! So, his wish will come true.

10:56 am

LOL! Well, at least he didn't ask for a car.

10:56 am

oh, hope you feel better soon and are immune for the rest of the winter

10:57 am

lol, yes, we can do "toaster" but not "roadster"

10:57 am

11:45 am

GE 4/6

11:45 am

tyvm

11:45 am

yvw

11:50 am

it is yiddish but it is spelled wrong. it is g

11:50 am

it is spelled wrong. the last vowel should be an i for sure. who created this weird dictionary? not a yiddish speaker for sure.

11:51 am

the hebrew word is pronounced more in line with this spelling but last letter is a V so i just dont understand this.

11:52 am

any clues for the 7s? ty.

It was a holiday gift from a supplier.

There were two. Not sure what the other one was. I had raspberry/pecan.

3:26 pm

Westford said they were going to order one but i haven't heard if it happened or not

3:27 pm

i am not one for the kringles with nuts in them, but a fruit one by itself is so good unless you get cherry cheese:)

3:28 pm

They are amazing and totally worth what you pay for them.

3:29 pm

That is exactly my thought!

as above it but with an S

3:38 pm

oh my god seriously Molly? a door prize or a xmas gift?

3:39 pm

jin i don't understand?

3:39 pm

No, it's a special edition box the Kringles come in that is hand painted by a local artist. A very nice, heavy box. It looks like a box that Grandma would keep Christmas things in.

3:40 pm

PI 5/12 please

3:40 pm

yes i know what it is Molly but how did you end up with it or was it for everyone?(that thing is not too cheap either)

3:40 pm

FA 4/8, /336, 5/18 combo - the 6 is pt and the 5 is the pl of the 4

3:40 pm

add a cons in the middle of the pi 4 above it

3:41 pm

MLF - the word above it FA you are looking for - add an S to the end instead of ED

3:41 pm

TY

3:41 pm

3:42 pm

MLF - sorry I thought you were looking for FA

3:43 pm

mlf - i think that is another FA 4/ 5 comboo - but there is another combo

3:43 pm

The box is what the Kringles came in. Anyone can take the baskets or boxes that Christmas gifts to the office come in. And no one seems to want them but me. (I work with mostly men)

3:43 pm

F*I*R*E*W*O*R*K*S
