good morning all
G'mirning Sprite
hiya Sam! How are you today?
Fading a bit. It's 1AM and I ought to have been in bed an hour and a half ago.
But it's a good grid and I'm interested here.
ouch. I know that feeling. When going to bed is the wise thing to do... but other things are so much more interesting :D
Pretty sure that one is universal. :D
think so too
OK. I have all the sevens and eights and I can leave the last 50 for tomorrow. I'll need something to do in the mechanic's waiting room.
See y'all around.
sleep well, Sam, and pretty dreams!
*rattles rose's cage*
*rattles sprite's cage* WHERE YA BIN???
been here since 8, lol. *hugs rose* Hello my darling, how are you doing today?
no, no, no.... where ya bin.... i needs to empty out the trash
roflololllll
I have a new one for the dictionary... it is a bad one though... discunt - pay less for a hooker
*grin* hello my darling friend. have been to hydro... was difficult to be enthused about it.
aw sweetie, that is a tough deal when on the downslope from the treatments.
ummmm, would you be disappointed if i said, nope, don't like it....doesn't make me feel good in any way.
yeah I agree
i am trying very hard to be up-beat at the moment. i think it may also have to do with Raffaella's new appointment. there is one old biddy who has wasted no time in calling all who left our church for one reason or another to do with Raffaella. some people just cannot see that as a family (God's family) we AREN'T always going to agree and storming away in anger is not the answer. same old biddy thinks she is now running the show. i am going to remind her next week that Raffaella is still priest in charge, she happens to be on leave.
ugh I so so hate that kind of thing. Some people simply have to ruin a good thing, don't they.
jealousy, power plays, politics... ugly shit
it makes me physically ill seeing all these supposed christians running back to our church now that they have heard Raffaella is moving to a new post.
yeah. Nothing at all jesus-inspired about them.
lolll... it's International Womens Day next friday. i asked don if that meant he was going to do all the cooking for our community luncheon... his answer?? NO!
well he should
remind Rob and tell me all about his reaction...
right now Rob is doing more than his share, with me not even able to stand, let alone cook. Yesterday we had a fridge delivered and Rob got us a thriftstore microwave. I ordered a meals on wheels kind of deal for the week to come, should arrive today.
tomorrow afternoon is back to the hospital. So so so hope I will get a walking cast.
well done sweetie. you both need that sort of support.
oh... prayers being sent now. darling i hope it is all the best of possible news for you.
yeah we do. Am doing all I can to help lessen the load on Rob's shoulders. It is not an easy thing. Especially with him being so headstrong. No match for me though :D
thanks my dear friend.
are these meals through your local council?
no, it is a private company. I did some research, wanted one that offers healthy meals. This one was tested best by one of our unaffiliated testing agencies. Lots of veggies in every meal. Freshly made and home-cooked.
sounds good.... i hope the meals are nice.
lolll this reminds me of mother mac. when she was discharged from hospital, the social worker set up delivery of 'meals on wheels' mum hated the food, and used to feed the dog with them.
ughhhhh and LOL
before i forget... tomorrow is fang's birthday and we are going out for dinner with her. so prolly wont see you.
I think it is smart not to expect food that tastes like you cooked it yourself. But as long as it is okay, and healthy, I will not complain.
Happy fangy birthday!
lolll
nice detail is that you can order S, M or L portions. Since Rob is a big eater, I ordered him the L ones.
good one.
I think Rob forgot to turn the heater on this morning :( It is colllllld here.
ugh.... can you reach to do it youself?
I would have to hop to the other end of the caravan on my contused ankle.
oh honey. is there someone you can call? what about somebody from the rescue centre?
I hope they are willing to walk terra this afternoon. I think if they are, I will ask them to turn on the heater then too. Good idea.
this afternoon is too long for you to be so cold...
true. Okay, hold on, am gonna give it a try
and i am sure they would be most upset to find out you have waited that long to be warm.
mind over matter! Hopped to the heater and back, with the help of my walker.
should be warmer very soon now
good girl... i am proud of you.
yay! *smug* Rose - is - proud of me, Rose - is - proud of me!
i had this mind picture...Terra stuffed up the inside of your nightie, providing some warmth.
hehehe he prefers to lie draped over my two casts. Crazy little doggie.
loll... silly woman... i never stop being proud of you. you are one amazing person.
awwww shucks. Now you got me blushing.
nope. that's the heater working...*giggle*
roflol
well, it takes one to know one, for sure
what? a heater ? maybe.
amazing person. Silly woman. Both.
you could be right. don calls me his personal bed heater...
tell he to share. Now!
him*
roflolll... now that would be interesting....
:D
menage a quarte...
would save a lot on heating
lolll that's what don says... you two been talking??
never behind your back. So... turn over, please :D
*explosive giggles*
wth is that nu5 for odd spelling? Scots?
means nudge and that's all i can contribute
enable... you never fail to amaze, lol
i thought with that ending perhaps hebrew or yiddish. where is a lizgirl when yoy need her?
yiddish, apparently. Ah well, okay then.
*snap*
lolll.... and da brains coincide again.
we are so frugal, we even share brainwaves
ah lovely, temps are much better now
good. no teeth chattering? how about the ones in the mug?
no, Rob took those with him
omg.... did i just call you a mug? totally unintended
roflololollll
freudian slip i assure you
yeah yeah, sure
*belly shaking chuckles*
fireflies. What a lovely grid.
WTG SPRITE !!
i agree. i had a ball with it.
honey, I wish the both of you a lovely evening together. Sleep well and have a good time tomorrow with Mrs Fang. Will let you know what the verdict on the plaster cast is. *hugs* and lotsaluv. To you all, a peaceful night and a blessed day.
i hope your day continues to be warm and cosy honey. luvsya. xoxox

I watched enough Little House on the Prairie to know that a leanto is so a thing. I guess it's hyphenated though.
Oh, hi, y'all!
clue for the first un8 please?
sorry, i don't have yet
i have one un 8- to straighten, say. I don't know if it is the first

ok ty- now i know to look for another :-)
un8 - un + indefinite article before a vowel + mixed-up snake-like fish in the past tense
I only have tu8. Now I know 2 un8.
it means without having had extreme unction applied, but that isn't a definition that would have helped me any
actually, that did it for me lol- ty.
ta7 anybody?
Oh, I just found the other part of that word
Excellent. You get a star for knowing your last rites! =)
thanks, vicuna. I actually thought I'd already tried that! must have typoed it the first time
lol- no, i get a star for having seen that an 5 in the grid often enough to have looked it up
It doesn't matter why you know it - you still get a star because you do! I've got plenty of stars and I'm happy to distribute them lavishly.
ty vic. :-)

Blueberries is a brain food!
Well at least they find bits of blueberry in brains...

For best results, shove them WAY up your nose.
Eww!
Ding Ding! Zoom gets the set of steak knives and what's behind Door Number 1
And by the way, Mardi Gras is so much more fun than being "shriven" : D
Funny how Nu 4/5 (kernals) and WA 6/33 & plural are in the grid together!
Like nu4 and nu6 and nu7 : D
Don't forget the NU 5/14!
Thank you Al Bundy : D

He is the only grown man I ever heard use the word nu5. Usually, that is a little boy word, like booby. : D
True.
For want of an E we would have nutcase
Oh good one!

nbt
clue for either un words..the 8s?
One of them is something that occasionally needed to be done on land-line phones with the cord that attached the handset to the base.
It's a un7/8 pair
(I don't know why I'm speaking about land-line phones in the past tense - I have one)
It's something you might need to do with any long cord, string, etc. that gets turned around a lot.

hi all, diving in, gerschlumpf
phantom ennead
nbt finally
bottom row done woot
I Googled "gerschlumpf" and what came up is that it is German for "my last name means Smurf"? Is that accurate? Just curious.
you're very close! LOL
Please, do tell me what the proper English translation of the word is. It sounds like a fun word to know.
yeah, um, i just made it up. sort of fake german. to dive in, or maybe to make a belly-flop
Oh - well job well done then :)
tanx
You clued the word shtetl last night - I like yiddish and thought maybe gerschlumpf was one I hadn't heard before. But I don't smurfing blame you for making up a word. All words were made up at one point or another anyway - right?
yepper!
:)
and the meaning and use of words is constantly changing. not every word, of course
yes
I love that it changes, but at the same time I hate it. Not to sound cliche, but the smurfing kids abuse the smurf out of this language and can't even write it.
don't blame the kids. we have had 40 years of rightwings defunding public education, and foisting crap textbooks on us, and crap like that.
Not sure if you know the Smurfs cartoon or not...they substitute every other word in their vocabulary with "smurf"...
i never had one solid, clear explanation of the difference between its and it's in school (i went to public school K-12) -- learned it after i was out of college
yes, i partly blame the smurfs for our deplorable slang LOL
Totally agree that the defunding didn't help.
inner city schools have always been and will always be at a disadvantage and they are the ones who need the most help but get the least.
yep. we need to equalize school funding. get more $ to poor schools.
Yes - and I don't think that people understand where their tax dollars go.
most of it goes into pockets of defense contractors
Oh - yes. That.
Whole big can of worms.
then again, most school fuding is from property taxes which are local taxes.
Honestly, my viewpoint on everything that the military does (that I am aware of) shifts from time to time.
Yes - local taxes are what covers our public schools, I'm not sure how much federal funding my city gets, but it can't be much because our schools are constantly doing fundraisers and half of the computers in the classrooms that do have them are broken.
Our military is bloated. We could do the job with half the funding. Take the leftover $ and fund schools, roads, medical, renewable energy, etc
get the freakin football out of the school. lot of $ savings right there.
That's a blanket statement though. How is the military so bloated and how would we do the same job with half of the funding? I'm seriously asking. I've heard this before - but with no solid answer on what to cut and what to give.
they pay $1000 for a toilet seat and $2000 for a wrench (give or take) while our veterans can't get a stinking opioid pill
I am registered as an independent. I do not bow to either party. Just saying
the pentagon refuses to allow itslef to be audited. we keep fighting wars "off the books." money just walks out the door and disappears.
I've heard that too - but that doesn't solve the problem of how much money is allocated to each department.
this is not partisan.
it has been a problem for a long time. Eisenhhower talked about it
I agree that this is not partisan - I just felt that I should share my personal stance for fear, I guess, that someone did think that I was on one side or the other as it goes.
What a can of worms indeed...
yep
i am on the side of We the People -- which is not a party per se
Congress holds the purse - we the people vote for the people in congress. How, do we the people, really fix this crap when most
lol had to send before I could finish as soon as I saw the we the people
convince non-voters to vote. convince voters to stop voting for politicians who bloat the budget and cut programs that help people (yeah, i know, not easy)
outlaw private money in elections. serious penalties for cheaters. eliminate electoral college.
I think the major disappointment is that even when we follow politics very closely and the candidate that we voted for wins, is very rarely does that politician do as promised
are your reading my mind>
yes LOL
Idea
Ideal
I have to ask - do you like any of the potential candidates for 2020 yet?
That's personal, so nevermind.
i would happily vote for any of the dems. the other party is so corrupt it is hard to believe it. i also support down-ticket greens as much as possible
remember, there are elections happening every year, not once every 4 years
i would outlaw campaigning any earlier than 2 months before the election.
Yes, BUT - local districts do not make it very clear who or what you are voting for or how and where.
i know. newspapers just print candidate's own press release which are often hype and gibberish. best thing to do is listen to candidtaes directly, debates or interviews on local radio, etc
Right now, I personally favor Warren. Honestly, at first look I didn't think much of her. She's my preference right now. She is one SMART cookie. She would kick Hillary's ass!
hillary is not running (tey) and i would certainly vote for warren. have you noticed . . .
some people become politicians in order to serve We the People and some in order to stuff their faces at the public trough. i refuse to vote for the face stuffers
tey = yet
I HATED Hillary. I hope she doesn't mix herself up into this mess. It's already a mess.
have you been listening to russian bots agian? LOL
wow - will that always be the thing?
I legitimately hated Hillary since she was married to Bill and he cheated on her and she just said "Oh, that's ok" I guess she was ok with it because she always had her own political agenda. I honestly detest her. China gate and everything. She promised young women in the middle east that they would remain safe. She made a lot of promises.
I just hope you have not been imbibing! LOL
messaging is always a tricky situation.
things can come across in the wrong way. happens to me quite often - unfortunately.
I plead the fifth on that Gwen.
apparently bill cheated a lot -- not just that one time -- divorce would mean neither one of them would ever get any votes, or i guess that's what she was thinking. IMO there are far worse things than having sex out of wedlock
3 to go
I am pretty sure that with the whole China-gate thing they were guilty of many crimes.
i never saw any strong evidence backing the accusations on that topic
fw
Of course the cheating thing wasn't the worst but the public humiliation of it all for Hillary was awful. I couldn't stand it. That just shows you that she is a cold hard B and will do whatever it takes to advance her own career.
as i recall she did not do a lot of public appearances for a time, while they were fighting or making up or whatever. i don't expect politicians to be perfect. some acts are a lot worse than others. anthony wiener, for example, if he had done it once, i'd e it slide, but he did it hundreds of times
i'm ready to hit the hay. [prediction for next grid: 286. nice chatting with ya!
China-gate was a long time ago. I can't state specifics on it anymore, but when I read all of the facts from the case I was convinced that the Clintons were guilty.
Likewise Gwen
GN
The cheating wasn't really the point though :( It was just that Bill humiliated Hillary but she chose to "plow" ahead in the "game", People thought that she was real trooper for it - I think she was just a manipulative cu5/6 (from last night's grid).
And that's all that I have to say abou that.
I am guessing you didn’t vote for Hilary
Hello Sheep Person
Waves hoof
:P
I didn’t vote for her either.
She was just ewwwww
that was baaad
but I couldn't help it
So - that means you voted for THAT guy too
No. I didn’t vote for Trump either. He is appalling
I am going to make a confession here...
Ok
I guess.... 168
?
It came down to either HER or HIM - which I NEVER imagined would even be possible. I did not vote in the primary races. I felt like I hated her so much based on what I knew about her that I had to vote for him.
