3:08 am

*gigggle*

3:08 am

good help, ruby, thanks - hard to get rolling, will take what I can get. :D

3:09 am

hey ya rbud

3:10 am

always wanted to get to Paris myself, but scared to leave the country at the moment, even if I could afford it. Might not get let back in!

3:12 am

(though at this point, being stuck somewhere else might be a good thing.)

3:13 am

*timer going berserk,* so dinner is ready *. xoxox to all of you

3:13 am

enjoy! :)

3:13 am

ttfn

3:14 am

achoo! sneezing fits, too, sigh...

3:17 am

I just rreead your profile, rbud. Profound condolences; I'vge been a widow for 14 months, so I understand.

3:17 am

Wherre in Illinois? I lived in Carbondale for 2 years.

3:19 am

thank you. I remember reading that, late condolences to you as well. how are things now? finances and such work out okay? hope so. still have the dogs?

3:19 am

we're about 45 miles north of Peoria

3:20 am

The dogs sustain me, good company and protection

3:20 am

just up the Illinois river.

3:22 am

good morning babblers

3:23 am

hiya, sprite! :)

3:23 am

hiya rbud!

3:23 am

'((sprite))

3:23 am

*hugs ruby*

3:31 am

didn't mean to kill your convo, girls

3:31 am

I kept putting words in the chat

3:32 am

I keep seeing cilantro.

3:33 am

And I just talk too much when I chat, haha. For example:

3:33 am

I've been visiting with a couple of local friends who are also recent widows - seems to be a lot of it going around this area. :( One is losing the family house of 50 years, so sad. Her hubby talked her into a mortgage shortly before keeling over in their yard. She can't pay it off. So sad. I count my blessings, ours has been paid off for years.

3:33 am

that is so sad :( Poor lady.

3:33 am

Never too much, rbud

3:35 am

what ruby says

3:35 am

I guess I can claim about half of the disability he was getting per month, but not till October when I get old enough. Not much, but with my little library job, and our daughter and her boyfriend helping, we may get by.

3:36 am

am so sorry that on top of having lost your loving partner, you have to battle money issues as well

3:37 am

will be a long summer! good thing I'm so good at being poor, long years of practice! :D

3:37 am

:(

3:39 am

The old man was a large part Scottish in descent, he had the penny-pinching gene. He donated himself to science partly because he thought it was cool, and partly because it then costs us nothing at all in funeral costs. They just send along his ashes in a bit.

3:41 am

My husbaand's ashes are in the pantry. One of these days, I'll bury them in the garden next to the dogs, as he wished

3:42 am

I am so very sorry for your loss, rbud. Not sure I already had a chance to tell you this.

3:45 am

thanks. I am coping a day at a time. Still have the occasional short feeling that he's still there in the other room, and I should run and check on him... about halfway through that, I realize all over again. But it's not so bad. He was getting very ill, and didn't want to linger long and be a big burden. Not that I'd have begrudged the care.

3:45 am

*hugssss*

3:46 am

but at least we already knew his time was likely short, and so had time to finalize this and that, and be close.

3:46 am

After a year, I've been having very nice dreams about old Burt

3:47 am

that is wonderful :)

3:49 am

He designed a special box for his ashes, with motorcycle bits and emblems to be incorporated. He drew it up and sent the items off with a nephew, I never saw the drawing. His cousin has a casket-making business, and tells me it's almost done. He'll likely sit on top the TV cabinet, and I'll probably have regular chats with him, haha! :)

3:49 am

it's been 10 years since I lost a very dear friend of mine. I still have moments that I am about to pick up the phone to tell her something, then realise I can't.

3:50 am

sounds wonderful, rbud

3:50 am

I suppose one never does quite get over the loss of someone very close. I know I can barely stand dealing with "the public" yet, and haven't been to work much.

3:51 am

I love that you have Burt in the pantry, ruby. Cozy spot amongst the foodstuffs. :D

3:52 am

sounds about right, rbud. Step by step, I guess, and be kind to yourself through the process.

3:52 am

But he wanted to be buried with his beloved dogs: Rufus, Cleo, Ruby and Max

3:53 am

did he know Max was dead then?

3:53 am

They're all Under the pines and there's "bear garlic" that blossoms in May

3:53 am

No, I never told him about Max

3:54 am

I told him that he was probably adopted

3:54 am

that is what I thought

3:55 am

There would have been no point

3:55 am

he needed almost constant care for the last year, I'm starting to plunge into some long-delayed projects around the house, now that I can, without neglecting or disturbing him - it's quite the adjustment. Sort of liberating, but disorienting, at the same time.

3:56 am

good for you, rbud. Takes courage.

3:57 am

Easy's brother will scatter some of his ashes down a nice stretch of highway from his motorcycle, after a big memorial party. That was his plan. We keep the rest. He also had a good-sized song list, working on finding and organizing that. He was big on music.

3:58 am

all meaningfull stuff

3:58 am

meaningful*

3:59 am

Nice to have his ideas already recorded so I know what I'm doing.

4:00 am

helps to give a sense of direction in all the decisions you have to make, I imagine

4:04 am

Yep. And it made him happy to tend to it all as best he could. He couldn't walk around any more, or work on bikes or cars, but he was all there mentally and liked having projects in the works all the time. And he could still write okay, so he made lists and such.

4:04 am

I guess I had better get out of bed. Hopefully, the downstairs is warming up a little.

4:05 am

have a grand day, ruby!

4:05 am

It's almost lunch tme! Maybe the daffs will open today

4:05 am

and stay warm! :)

4:06 am

((rbud and sprite))

4:06 am

*hugs ruby*

4:08 am

oooh, flowers? hmmm, I should have covered the tulips, oops... I saw them above ground, poor misguided early things, bet they froze. Cold here.

4:08 am

lots of early stuff here too, but I think they will make it. A bit of frost they can manage

4:09 am

There was frost after all the bulbs were several inches up. They are still on their way, just not flowering yet

4:09 am

One year there was a foot of snow in April, after everything was in flower and it was beautiful

4:10 am

Fingers crossed, but they say we have a couple of 17 deg F nights maybe coming up, might be the end for them. And my lilacs, but that seems to happen nearly every year. Only have lilacs way down inside the bush, if any.

4:11 am

People here dig up their tulips but it's too m_uch trouble and most survive

4:14 am

I agree, never have dug them up since planting them. And they were old tired clearance ones after Easter or Mother's day, I would get them for 50 cents, plunk them in, and hope for the best. I'd say half or more pop up every spring.

4:16 am

they are certainly determined, once I tried to dig some tulips up across the street before they tore down a house, but I gave up when it got to be a foot or more below ground. All stem. They'd been there for decades, and no one lived in the house the whole time we'd been here, probably 20 years at that time.

4:16 am

every spring a cheery bed of bright red ones over there. :)

4:17 am

bulbs can be really hardy things. Tulips for sure.

4:40 am

it is a lickety grid for me today. Li4ed with over 30 to go

4:41 am

phantom: initial

4:41 am

only shooting for half, with nbt and nbs. Only a few more to go.

4:42 am

gooooo rbud :)

4:43 am

my beloved and dog have just left the building :D Nice and quiet here now, they will be back tomorrow. A whole night to myself. I love them to pieces but definitely can enjoy a night alone.

Morning all. The Is (eyes) are killing me - I still have nothing for the lower left i nor the second column i...

4:45 am

hiya matty!

4:45 am

hi Matty

How's it going, Sprite?

4:45 am

I do, let me check which is coming from where

The only i...s I have are in4/4 x 2

4:46 am

Back with 73 left. Same goals as rbud nd also need that i (eye)

4:46 am

il4/4 and 5/12 from the bottom i

4:47 am

all good here, matty, thanks! How are you doing?

Not too bad - pretty good, I guess, in the great scheme of things. We finally have a quieter couple of weeks after around four weeks of visits and stuff

4:47 am

second column i it6/21

4:47 am

There's a nice in6 from the top i

4:48 am

ty sprite

4:48 am

also a in7/28

4:48 am

sounds good, matty. A bit of quiet is nice, isn't it.

4:49 am

the in7 from the top as is ruby's 6.

I hate vowel words. I've said this before and shall no doubt say it again

That middle i I am also missing (I have three from the top i)

4:50 am

vowel words are harder to spot, for some reason. I think most babblers agree with us on that

Bottom corner i dealt with now :)

4:50 am

is6/18 is from the middle i too.

4:51 am

so from the middle: it6 cursive and is6 i + fabric

Whew! May I have stats for any 8, then I shall be nbt, nbs?

4:52 am

to8/40

4:52 am

or to8/50

4:52 am

ou8/65

Got the ou8 - now nbt/nbs - thanks! Shortly we shall be putting things in the loft :)

4:55 am

wtg matty!

4:58 am

couple of Ls and Cs left here

5:09 am

fireflies. Any clues needed before I go?

5:10 am

congrats! and nah, none for me. I'm going to try to nap a bit more. :)

5:10 am

I am off then. *hugs* and have a lovely day.

5:10 am

have a good nap, rbud

5:11 am

((((sprite))))

5:11 am

((((ruby)))) too, if you're still here. :)

5:34 am

Hint for the to8 please

5:35 am

Someone who does things entirely

5:35 am

Good morning all, snow is back.

5:35 am

Or maybe someone who adds things up

5:35 am

Ty for that clue Molly

5:36 am

We have cold weather here, but no snow. It is really depressing since all the blossom trees have bloomed.

5:36 am

Thank you!

5:37 am

And it's supposed to be crappy and winter-like all week. Gross.

5:39 am

Yes, March is colder than February was.

6:10 am

Ah well, I'm grateful that for the most part, this has been a very mild winter.

6:32 am

With the wind chill today it's going to be 0 today

6:39 am

Whee! Let's go outside in down coats, scarves and gloves and admire the daffodils.

6:40 am

phantom: totality

6:42 am

*Sends Bich 3/4 of the way to the PB : D

6:43 am

lol

6:43 am

maybe it's warm in the PB, just a thought

6:44 am

Indeed it is. There is a fire in the fireplace and the hot drink of your choice. (I know it's not coffee) : )

6:45 am

Hot cocoa [sugar free]

6:51 am

Ooo, that sounds good. I will add a little peppermint schnapps to mine.

6:52 am

I wish I could eat nutella

6:53 am

There are recipes for sugar free nutella

6:54 am

good idea Molly

6:54 am

I don't know how close it is to the original though, since I am not a nutella fan. Some "diet" recipes are truly awful.

6:56 am

And Amazon sells something called Nuti-Lite that is sugar free

6:58 am

yes and is uber expensive. rather make it myself

7:04 am

Isn't it ironic when you have to pay more for things that have less in them?

7:42 am

Good morning! Stats for the 3rd row I, anyone?

7:43 am

7:43 am

I think in7 is one of them

9:28 am

The British burned down The White House in 1812

9:31 am

and they still lost the war... ;o)

9:34 am

neither side won or lost, it was at best a stalemate "... At the end of the war, both sides signed and ratified the Treaty of Ghent and, in accordance with the treaty, returned occupied land, prisoners of war and captured ships (with the exception of warships due to frequent re-commissioning upon capture) to their pre-war owners and resumed friendly trade relations without restriction."

Well, everyone is free to "interpret" history their own way.

6:02 pm

Last post (and this one) is being typed with ring finger. Central heating broke down today & I decided to bleed the radiators. The heating came on with a whoosh ... Leaving me with my forefinger in the way of several gallons of boiling water. Because I am a dope, I switched fingers...so both of my forefingers are now blistered & really really sore. Sorry for moaning, but I'm in agony.

When I scalded my hand last year the blister was small initially but 12hours later went all down my wrist and over the back of my hand. It stood about an inch from my skin

6:16 pm

and was made worse by it being a damp heat. It meant several trips to have the bandage changed.

6:17 pm

It is time for some of my meds so I must away. Night all

6:18 pm

Confession time.my Ex used t go on 'economy drives' from time to time, when he would take homemade lunches to work. One day, i substituted a raw egg for his hard boiled egg. He was sitting in his van, enjoying lunch, cracked what he thought was the boiled egg on the steering wheel. A horrible mess ensued. TeeHee! No wonder he left me!

6:18 pm

Night Jaxx . Sweet dreams X
