Hursh - what do you mean? What else is different?

SJ = Debbie Downer. This is a tight knit community, has been for a long time, will be again.

12:14 am

Nah. I'm optimistic. I just don't want to try to recreate something that was.

12:14 am

Sam is right. but it doesn't mean we don't keep working at it

12:29 am

I like the old cartoon version myself

12:29 am

like one time i read an article about why Disney is doing live action Cinderella and things, why not take their LESS successful stories and remake THOSE into something better

because it's out of copyright I imagine, and anyone can try to make a buck with a popular story

12:55 am

cooee {{sprite}} i am so sorry to read about those yucky dreams. how are you feeling now? a little more orientated?

12:56 am

*hugs rose* less so, now that I see you, darling. How are you today?

12:57 am

actually still doing quite well. went to church, but not much more. no pain as such. some achy muscles from the FM.

12:58 am

wow rose, going strong. The physical regime is paying off, it seems. Good job. No ill effects from the poisonous vapours yesterday?

12:59 am

no there aren't. for either of us. and the shower looks amazing...haven't seen the grout that colour for nearly 10 years.

1:00 am

that is great! Glad you didn't have any aftereffects.

1:00 am

one day honey, it will be your turn to feel marvelous and ready for the world.

1:00 am

and until then, I will pretend :D

1:01 am

*wry grin*

1:02 am

glad you could go to church. Was it a good one?

1:05 am

yes. the sermon was incredible. talking about boasting of our weaknesses which actually strengthen our trust and faith in God. made me think.

1:06 am

nice theme

1:11 am

interesting thought though. i hope a few others are pondering the vicar's words.

1:12 am

they should be. Why else go and listen?

1:13 am

found a clam

1:15 am

fireflies. *hugs* my darling, have a lovely evening and sleep well afterwards. Love and more *hugs*

1:16 am

WTG SPRITE !! prayers with you especially today. xoxox

1:25 am

70 to go but think I'll turn in tonight, be back in the morning to hopefully find these

2:05 am

um, i need some advice

2:05 am

is anyone here?

2:08 am

Hi all. Hi Hurshy.

2:09 am

Hi, I'm here. What's up, Hursh?

2:09 am

my husband went for a walk at like 9 (usual), but he isn't back yet and it's midnight (unusual)

2:09 am

i texted him and it says delivered but not read

2:10 am

i called and it went straight to voicemail

2:10 am

should i call the nearest hospital or is that premature and overreacting?

2:10 am

Maybe his battery died?

2:10 am

That is scary

2:11 am

What time does he usually get back?

2:11 am

If he's not usually out that late or long, even if his battery died, he might need some help. So yes, I'd call someone.

2:11 am

he just finally texted

2:11 am

he says he is fine and on the way home

2:12 am

thanks anyway

2:12 am

Yay!

2:12 am

Phew!

2:12 am

Let him know you were concerned.

2:13 am

Huge sigh of relief - my hubs will do things like that - runs into an old friend or stops at Lowe's and is 3 hours late. I'm busy checking all the highway patrol reports to make sure he didn't crash. And...what Liz said!

2:14 am

Definitely. Even a message from hi to say he was running late would've helped you.

2:15 am

it's awkward because we're probably going to divorce soon

2:15 am

so we kinda are just roommates

2:16 am

but even then if a roommate were out later than usual like that i would be concerned

2:16 am

anyway, nighters

2:16 am

Ah! But it's still not fair that an unusual situation like that should cause you worry and a message doesn't hurt - especially between friends.

2:16 am

That's rough. I understand - even when the road is rough, communication is paramount

2:16 am

Sleep well

2:17 am

Hang in, Hursh, hope you can relax and sleep.

3:21 am

Okay 39 words left to find. Could not find the bottom A. Will come back later to see if I can find any more words. Happy babbling everyone!

I just checked CNN, MSN and Guardian, I see nothing about an ambulance coming out

7:05 am

me neither

BBC America carrying news as well. Two boys out

7:26 am

What an amazing rescue process, an international collection of folks.

7:28 am

fourth has made out of the cave and being checked over by drs before gettingin the ambulance

7:29 am

Wow. How long does it take for extraction? Any info?

7:29 am

the trip normally is 5 hours out.. but they are relaying

7:30 am

amazing!

7:30 am

Oh, I see.

7:30 am

Dont' quote me, but I believe I heard it is about 6hours of diving to get the boys.

7:31 am

each station set up within, they are bringing llof the boys to each station... 3 stations contained.. the last section no water. is a dry section of climbing through the cave and they were anticipating carrying the boys on stretchers through that section... i

7:31 am

A fascinating system.

7:31 am

that last section is 1 mile long...

7:32 am

I am sure they have a carefully planned system.

7:32 am

( 3 dives within the journey )

7:33 am

Yes just found the source that said divers took 3 hours to reach the boys. But it's not 3 hours straight diving.

7:33 am

so that some are coming out... means they are all coming through that dry section over land at the same time.. they had a triage set up at the final staging area with doctors

7:33 am

ambulance arrived at hospital

7:33 am

So scary that these boys cannot even swim, and they are being asked to scuba dive. I can't imagine.

7:34 am

they would pep them up... there were emergency o2 tanks every 50 metres

7:35 am

CNN now saying four MORE boys will walk out of cave soon

7:36 am

So this rescue is going waaaaaay better & faster than predicted.

7:36 am

What a relief that this is working well.

7:36 am

Yes I agree! The coach must be very relieved. That is a hard burden to have on him.

7:37 am

Yes, he has been criticized AND hailed. He did keep them alive too.

7:37 am

Yes but I'm sure he is regretting his initial decision to take them in there.

7:38 am

Alright, I need to get ready for a day of kayaking on the lake.

7:38 am

Oh fun! Enjoy Scrabs!

7:39 am

i have aljazeera on now...

7:39 am

4 are out...confirmed by aljazeera

7:42 am

CNN is still bumbling along, giving conflicting and probably inaccurate info.

7:42 am

try aljazeera online...

7:43 am

They said 4 MORE boys about to come out, then they backtracked.

7:43 am

OK will do

7:43 am

they just switched to syria but they are updating

7:44 am

Of course, Trif - this is the Internet, after all!

11:10 am

beloved is DRIVING ME NUTS - it's not his fault. He had pneumonia last month, and is on ALL kinds of crazy meds. First the 'roids were making him worse than a hyper toddler, and now he is on the stuff that has him so dopey trying to do anything is like herding cats......I'm trying to be patient, but....jeez louise.

11:10 am

Ah, caretaking ill spouse... one of life's more fun adventures. They really meant it when they made us say for better or for worse apparently

11:11 am

im just trying to babble quietly, and he just interrupted me for, like, the hundredth time, because he could not find a stapler, and then I had to do it for him. All the while he is trying to "come up with a plan" for today - NONE of which will actually occur.

11:11 am

sorry, I should be grateful

11:11 am

The title of my autobiography that I'll never write is "Just Because You Drive Me Crazy Doesn't Mean I Don't Love You"

11:12 am

totally fine to vent a bit...

11:13 am

lOLOLOL natasha - my autobiography is called "My ex husband went poof"

11:13 am

haha I have one of those too Trif. He's living in Germany now with a woman 20 years my junior. Long life and health to him

11:14 am

mine is living with his husband in florida, hence the title

11:14 am

5:06 pm

nm

5:09 pm

Hi Shirl :) Sidetracked nu news. Looks like some idiot was starting a binch of car fires in a parking lot in Niagara-on-the-Lake :( Also four of the kids in Thailand have been rescied (?)

5:14 pm

Hello every one.

5:14 pm

Hi Mef :)

5:15 pm

er Nef :/

5:16 pm

Hi Kate :-)

5:16 pm

Just starting the grid?

5:17 pm

No, I was trying to do the grid last night at flip & kept falling asleep

5:17 pm

hi kate-- yup busy-- I decided to build a book/tool case for myself out of milk crates...

5:17 pm

I'm 1/3 way through now

5:18 pm

The tutorial on Pinterest looked easy :[]...

5:19 pm

I take it that it wasn't as easy as it looked, Lib?

5:19 pm

Well done Nef, I just got here.. miles to go. lib, college days furniture ;) It's not as easy as they made it look?

5:19 pm

you are correct, Nef...

5:20 pm

I love to look at those; but haven't tried any of the ones I've been interested in yet

5:21 pm

Well, I decided to be fancy & stained the outside dark ma****** & the inside bright turquoise-- the tutorial said to stain both inside & outside...

5:21 pm

and how did that go?

5:22 pm

Nef-- expect it to be more difficult, though it came out pretty well...

5:23 pm

The stain was really drippy, & I had to paint the inside w/ 3 coats-- also, very precision paint job-- narrow slat edges & all...

5:23 pm

Striking colour combo!

5:24 pm

good thing I took painting in art school...

5:25 pm

:)

5:25 pm

Ty Kate, if I do say so myself, colors are quite striking-- now I don't want to litter it w/ books & tools :D

5:25 pm

My daughter does a lot of the pintrest ideas out of pallets (she has access to all that she might want she says). I haven't done any projects yet because I just found pinterest ideas this past fall & had to have hand surgery (arthritis) before I could do some of those things

5:26 pm

I'm all better now; just need to carve out some time for doing stuff.

5:26 pm

I am healing from a broken wrist-- more challenging-- why do I torture myself so :[]

5:27 pm

How's your hand healing, Nef?

5:27 pm

LOL! that sounds like you like to challenge yourself!

5:27 pm

Are you both healing up well and getting good use back?

5:27 pm

Oh, all better I see-- good!

5:28 pm

I am, Kate; but my keyboarding skills are still lacking! :-D

5:28 pm

:) I see the instrument 45 doesn't have is in the grid LOL

5:29 pm

Mine is fully functional, but PT lady (excellent) said it would hurt for a year or so...

5:29 pm

Surely they will improve wtih time Nef..as you use wrist more, it will get stronger? are you doing wrist curls or naything to make it stronger?

5:30 pm

wow.. I guess we should ask Nef why it wuld hurt for so long after?

5:30 pm

Kate, the word "brain" isn't in the grid (45's missing instrument

5:31 pm

I broke my right tibial plateau in a car accident, then fell from 1 tippy toe, lost balance & fell, bracing myself w/ my left hand & broke wrist-- the doctor looked at my X-ray & said "what a mess!"-- bedside manner could use improvement...

5:31 pm

lol...musical instrument.. from the nonsense speech about records.... ;)

5:31 pm

test

5:32 pm

Did you have PT, Nef?

5:32 pm

Oh lib! Nasty chain of events :( Poor thing....

5:33 pm

Hi gemini :)

5:33 pm

I had it for knee & wrist simultaneously-- can't say enough good things for it...

5:33 pm

TY Kate-- bad patch indeed

5:34 pm

hi ~ put my latest pinterest project in my profile but it is HUGE

5:34 pm

I still do the exercises faithfully...

5:35 pm

PT makes all the difference for long term full usage, I think... good for you continuing all the exercises

5:35 pm

smart, gemini-- I just dove in!

5:36 pm

I did have PT. I meant (jokingly) that my typing skills (which are lousy) haven't improved; it's not that my hand isn't healed, it's that I still can't type well. My surgery was for the base of my thumb

5:38 pm

You did that crystal stand gemini? It is - WOW!

5:38 pm

I had surgery in January, was in a soft cast until March; surgeon not satisfied with results in May; still have to continue doing exercises, (not in PT) etc. & see him again in August

5:38 pm

OOh-- the thumb gets taken for granted-- very useful part of hand/wrist

5:38 pm

difficult to see it... I haven't glued it yet,,, just trying different ways to put it together

5:38 pm

Is there a chance that surgeon will have to "go back in" Nef?

5:39 pm

I went to an auction and ended up buying 15 boxes of junk for $12.50 ~ that glass was some of what I got

5:40 pm

yikes good luck with surgery,,,,, I hate the thought of that... but I know it is needed ......

5:40 pm

I had painful putty squeezing exercises (for strength & others for mobility-- it really paid off to get through the pain before it felt better...

5:40 pm

The top part looks interesting, can't figure out what it was..looks like a pieve of stemware with two bowls!

5:41 pm

It's possible, Kate; it depends on how it feels & his decision. I had the same surgery on my non-dominent (rt) hand 7 years ago, it was a breeze. But between odd anatomy and nerve involvement; this wasn't as smooth

5:41 pm

Ouchie lib :(

5:42 pm

But, if you have to get it done, the sooner the better. More chance of full recovery and use???

5:42 pm

I guess hell before heaven, Kate!

5:42 pm

vase, platter or is that plater.... globe, another plater, wine glass and a bowl

5:43 pm

Gemini, I like what I see. I've made an elevated cake stand before out of a goblet and a plate; you project looks a lot more ambitious! How high is it?

5:43 pm

I love it! If it weren't so pretty. it would make a good bird feeder/ bird bath!

5:43 pm

I checked out your profile, gem-- I just see a car-- does your project involve an auto?

5:43 pm

about 36 inches

5:44 pm

Did you see the pic in her profile Nef?

Business. A customer there has machines made by my company, and seeks my expertise in repair and maintenance of said machines ..

8:54 pm

Nice! It's good to be needed in such a way...passing along knowledge. Will you enjoy any personal days while there?

8:55 pm

I'll try. I should have a little time to explore.

8:56 pm

I hope you get a chance. I love exploring and experiencing the culture of the places I visit -- especially when abroad.

9:02 pm

I've had some great trips to places like Prague, Sofia, Moscow, Beijing, etc. where I have had some time to explore a bit and sample the local culture ..

9:06 pm

Nice...those are places I've not been to yet. I've wandered through Amsterdam; Paris; Interlaken (Switzerland); Rome, Florence, Venice, and Possagno (family ancestral home); Nuremburg, Vilsec, and Berlin (Germany); Salsburg (Austria). I hope my next trip to be to the British Isles...more specifically, Scotland - another ancestral home.

11:12 pm

hello 60 to go

11:32 pm

Want a couple fo puppies? ;-) They seem to think they should be held a lot tonight for some reason!

11:33 pm

Only if you take my beagle out of my lap!!!

11:35 pm

LOL! I am supposedly dog-sitting for my ex daughter-in-law while she's in the hospital (attempted suicide). Her boyfriend broke up with her; she's bipolar and (if this follows her usual pattern) she won't want them back. 1 is a year old, the other is about 10 months old.

11:38 pm

11:48 pm

Sorry, I had to let the puppies out.

11:49 pm

I hope your ex dil is okay, Nef

11:51 pm

Me too, harp. I'm a bit worried about what she will do once she's out of the hospital; she has no place to go except back to her mothers' house (which she doesn't want to do).

11:53 pm

am5 = friend (female, then male) = spanish

11:54 pm

likewise, Nef. I hope she comes out on the good side and take care of herself.

11:54 pm

thanks

11:54 pm
