1:46 am

{{hugs}} and good day my dearest friend. how was your night? how did you final training session go?

1:46 am

hi sweetie, a good evening to you and *hugs*

1:47 am

the final session went very well, and we did indeed get our contracts. We also got a personal certificate each, with a personal message from our trainers. Mine was very complimentary. Feels good.

1:47 am

all the pressies wrapped and ready to go. pudding cooked. just the supermarket stuff and we are done.

1:48 am

wow good job

1:48 am

darling, thank you so much for the lovely calendar. We enjoyed last year's so much, with the aboriginal's stories. We used it as our family calendar, so it got quite a workout.

1:49 am

oh my sprite. i am so proud of you and all you have achieved. i think all you are planning sounds fantastic. i think you will be a terrific manicurist.

1:49 am

can you scan/photo the cerificate to show me, please?

1:51 am

even better, rose, I will just be a nail artist.Looks like I am finally getting my life back on track, doesn't it :) I planned my first sessions alone in the roster yesterday. Volunteered to do the early morning shift on Jan 1st. Most people will want to sleep in, so that would be a tough time to fill.

1:51 am

of course, I will. Hold on, I have it right here.

1:51 am

and yay me...got the mail off in enough time. it's so lovely to hear you have received it. groovy phoned me and she was in tears. the one i sent her had pics of the places don and i showed her when she was here

1:53 am

you did, good job! :) Aw, sweet Kiwi. It is so special. Babble people are a good bunch.

1:57 am

groovy is ultra-special to us. she is such a sweetheart and generous to a fault. also my card etc was the first she had received this year. i can't understand why people don't warm to her. i could just hug and hug her. mind you, i could die happily in your arms honey.

1:58 am

btw, i have worked out how we can fly over without too much discomfort. of course i need the disabled seats for myself and my carer (don) which would allow us both to stretch out .

2:00 am

all i have to do is book the seats whenever we decide to come over. and ditto going up to see liz and her other half. so simple.

2:01 am

awesome! That is so good. Yes, I love Kiwi too. Always have. She is lovely and funny and warm. We always used to sing together in babble, did you know?

2:02 am

no i didn't. how funny!!

2:03 am

how did you do it?

2:04 am

one of us would start a song in chat, and the other would join in

2:04 am

ask Kiwi, she will remember :)

2:04 am

amazing! that would have been such fun... brb. TENS

2:04 am

brb, bowels are giving me hell this morning

2:05 am

falling asleep!! must get to bed, goodnight all

2:06 am

sweet dreams my dear flosey

2:08 am

enjoy your day, Rose

2:16 am

poor sprite

2:20 am

2:21 am

phantom: cerulean

2:23 am

wb sprite

2:26 am

thanks :) Scanning the Sensoor stuff for you now. It is all in dutch though.

2:28 am

please to accompany scan with translation... loll i told you my dutch is pitiful... lolll

2:28 am

hehehe well won't translate everything, that would take too much time. just the highlights, I can manage.

2:32 am

what is on for you today sweetie?

2:35 am

email sent, rose

2:36 am

just some domestic stuff for me today. Perhaps a trip to the stores, peeling potatoes, preparing the greens. I plan on sitting down with my crocheting and binge-watch some series.

2:36 am

ooh... i have it...maybe i'll print it off... just for me...

2:37 am

*giggles* Silly rose! But you are wonderful. Thanks for caring.

2:38 am

how can i not care?? you are my soul sister.. xoxox

2:38 am

true, dat. Still, you are much much appreciated.

2:38 am

nice to know and feel. luv ya heaps.

2:39 am

wish my Xmas gift had been sent earlier. Can't hurry the mailman though. Pity.

2:40 am

awww sprite. anything that extends christmas is welcome. i so love this season..

2:41 am

just the other day I told Rob I needed new glasses, because I cannot read or craft anymore with my glasses on. Imagine crocheting, looking at the work, then putting on glasses, watching TV, looking back at crocheting, glasses off...

2:42 am

then, what happens? Rob damages his own glasses and needs to replace them with new ones, sigh. At least 300 euro damage. No new glasses for me, for some time.

2:43 am

my darling... too heart-breaking. you poor people...

2:44 am

men, lol... always breaking something or other!

2:48 am

some day, we will get a break and some distant great-great-great-uncle will leave us a small fortune. I have faith that will happen some day ;)

2:50 am

you poor sweetie. i know exactly how you feel. when the mother passed on, her estate gave me so much freedom... as you know.

2:50 am

yeah I know and I am so happy for you. You know how it is to struggle all the time. You really deserved a break.

2:57 am

fireflies

2:58 am

greying out that V was a true struggle today

2:59 am

WTG SPRITE!!

2:59 am

3:00 am

3:01 am

i had never heard of, let alone seen, the vi5/18.

3:03 am

xoxox all who follow. not a great grid...but it was not too bad.

3:35 am

Rose! happy Christmas tp you. Still holding your hand but the arm is to be emptied again this morning so this is a quick visit.#

3:41 am

Thanks!

4:09 am

It is strange navigating this very different culture, even after this long

4:10 am

ruby... any gesture of appreciation is welcome, sweetie. no matter the culture or language.

4:11 am

These people are truly wonderful -- even acquaintances offer to hekp and the Neighbors all check up on me

4:11 am

ruby... the letter opener... any chance you can fill me in on it's history?

4:12 am

It was one of my Art Deco (or maybe Nouveau) treasures, bought at an antique shop 30 or so years ago

4:13 am

so it is probably from 1930's or even earlier

4:14 am

my dearest.... that is too much... you are so generous.

Is it me or is it a tough grid today? I have nothing bigger than a six and am just over halfway

4:17 am

no no, I have gotten to the stage where I would rather give away something that I own and love, rather than something that I buy

4:18 am

It's tough for me, too, Matty, but then again they are all tough forme LOL

4:53 am

I know more people he** than any other place I've lived, and with husband not living he**, people aren't afraid to approach

4:54 am

he was always unsociable and aloof

4:54 am

That sounds nice and friendly.

4:55 am

It is surely a surprise for me as I always thought that French people didn't like Americans

4:55 am

maybe it's because it's a small village

4:56 am

Who knows.

4:57 am

I am very fortunate

4:57 am

You are indeed

4:57 am

You are indeed

4:58 am

5:24 am

Good morning all.

5:24 am

is there a clue for cr9 please?

5:24 am

Hi sukee. How are you today?

5:24 am

I'm great, how are you?

5:25 am

Our temperature is going up to 13 today and tomorrow.

5:26 am

I am good. Got the hardest bit of sorting to do today. Got a double mattress to get down the stairs and outside! Will be better when I done that. lol

5:26 am

Nice and warm then.

5:26 am

Good luck, I can't even flip my mattress.

5:26 am

I struggled so I got a no flip mattress.

5:26 am

Will be fun! lol

5:27 am

Do you have to do it alone?

5:29 am

I do. I am very independent and love the challenge. Getting it downstairs will be the hardesty bit. #Once that is done then I just got the bits of the bed base to go out and the rest is small bits and sorting. Getting there slowly though. Again waiting for the landlord to bugger off out. lol

5:30 am

I'm lucky, the supers here will take stuff down for me, they even got rid of my old TV.

5:30 am

I guess you can just slide it down the stairs :)

5:30 am

I don't suppose you have the cr9 do you?

5:30 am

not yet

5:31 am

Yes. Then there are the corners! Am wondering if a sharp knife and cutting it in to a few bits might be a good idea. lol

5:31 am

Looking forward to watching Doctor Who on Friday :)

5:31 am

gm, everyone! cr9 I think it means to be ruffled like material or leaves.

5:32 am

Cool. I have not seen that for years!

5:32 am

Hi lbd

5:32 am

Hi dawg. Hows you?

5:32 am

hi Sukee, hi Medusa! i'm doing well. today's my friday, so I'm very happy.

5:32 am

Cool. What arfe you doing today?

5:33 am

Don't get the clue!

5:33 am

cr + the **d + last vowel + not early

5:35 am

Thanks.

5:35 am

ah, got it. TY.

5:35 am

5:36 am

This couple won 14 Million dollars and they say they are not quitting their jobs...

5:36 am

that's good, lottery winners usually go bankrupt later

5:36 am

Good for them. I would!

5:37 am

If they are not careful. I would put it in the bank and just get the interest.

5:37 am

of course that's assuming they get their winnings

5:37 am

They will :)

5:37 am

michigan, i think, hasn't been paying out winnings lately due to financial probs

5:38 am

Exactly what I would do sukee! You would get more than enough from that to live on just on 1 million!

5:38 am

Well, this is Canada :) We are good.

5:38 am

I could live on 1 million for the rest of my life. Heck, I could get by with 500,000.

5:38 am

but this couple i saw who'd won, and received nothing so far, not only is the state still running the lottery even tho they can't pay winners - THOSE PEOPLE are STILL PLAYING!

5:38 am

Nuts.

5:39 am

It sounds like a scam, should be illegal.

5:39 am

lotta things should be illegal in the US that aren't

5:40 am

tr9 please?

5:41 am

Sorry, don't have it.

5:41 am

Thanks anyway

5:42 am

it's past tense of a tr7

5:42 am

that you wouldn't think could be past tensed

5:43 am

Not with you there

5:43 am

tr7 seems like a noun, so, you wouldn't think you could make a past tense word out of it

5:44 am

got it! thanks

5:44 am

Was trying it with the y! lol

5:44 am

I just monkeyed the y

5:45 am

i will never understand why twas is a word and twere isn't

5:45 am

Good point.

5:47 am

5:49 am

Good luck.

5:51 am

who knew the ac 4/5 could be past tensed...

6:05 am

Well that was easier than I thought it would be! Now waiting for him to go out then I will let the dogs out to run for a while so I can get the bits out. Have the base to go out too.

6:06 am

hi, all. I have come through a diffficult time once again, and I am okay. I am going to start preparations for Christmas dinner today; my parents will share our meal tomorrow afternoon. My mother called late last week to ask, "what are we doing for Christmas?", so I invited them over, since she does not like to cook very much. It's so odd; she's one of the people who taught me to cook, and I love it.

6:50 am

Hi angel. pleased you are ok. Will be nice to have everyone together for Christmas dinner.

6:51 am

Just got a couple of things to do. brb

7:59 pm

Gotta love those furry, friendly pets that send you to the Emergency Room.

8:00 pm

one of the reasons i love chihuahuas so much. no matter how hard they try, they can't hurt you. at least the ones i have owned, can't break skin.

8:00 pm

No kidding :-D Thank goodness the coonhounds have no human aggression, they must have the bite strength of a hyena.

8:03 pm

lol. yeah, i am glad i learned things about dogs with a chihuahua... would have turned out bad if the brand new rescues had been big dogs... i gave the dogs a ham bone (it was easter) and my nephew who was 8 at the time, bent down to pet the dog. the dog thought my nephew was taking his food away and bit his hand rather dramatically.. not even a bruise.

hello all. trying to finish whist baking cookies

8:04 pm

i with ya temple. i am mopping and playing

8:05 pm

i am steaming out spots when I am at the computer :)

8:05 pm

I have only been seriously bitten by one dog .. an English Sheepdog. It was not nice. Required stitches.

it is so hot! even with the kitchen slider open.

8:05 pm

I'm cleaning the kitchen and packing and playing :-)

8:06 pm

It's hot in PA?

oh yes

oven chiming. bbs

8:08 pm

This is the first time in 3 years at least we have had what passes for a winter in central California. I am chilled to the bone all the time at 50 degrees :-)

8:12 pm

temple, I live in AZ, i usually have the doors open, with the screen doors shut for thanksgiving and christmas. too hot inside without the air flow. might be something to try?

8:13 pm

I camp in the desert every year, but in April/May. I can't imagine living there in the summer. Although it gets very HOT here too.

8:14 pm

summers are awful. as soon as the kid graduates, we plan on finding a nice, cold place to live

8:15 pm

Yes, those of us here on the East Coast know how to make good use of screen doors when the weather is warm.

8:15 pm

I'm with you. My retirement plans (if I can swing it) involve Humboldt County.

8:16 pm

looks very nice

8:18 pm

Oh, yes. Cool temps all year. No hot, no cold.

8:18 pm

that sounds amazing, actually

grrr, i hate making the bears, always losing an ear or a foot.
