2:26 am

rbud

hmmm, did the hiccup move to a quarter after? I've had trouble most nights lately about then. seems it used to be around 2 grid time, now around 2:16 every night

2:26 am

rbud

no biggy, but it sure locks up

2:27 am

grannyrose

yup, rbud, did hiccup a little here too.

2:31 am

rbud

right when I found the 10 - the suspense was killing me, lol!

2:33 am

rbud

I have been cutting, sanding, and fitting the trim on my new windows the last couple of days. Hubs told the guy who put them in not to worry about the trim because I "wouldn't be satisfied with it" if I didn't do it myself. gee, he knows me too well. :P

2:34 am

rbud

almost ready for the stain and poly. so tired of sawdust.

2:36 am

grannyrose

poor rbud...i'm sick of plaster dust..lol.

2:36 am

Hey Everyone! You may be tired of it now but after all is said and done you can stand back and enjoy for the years to come.Rbud

2:37 am

grannyrose

hello pugs

2:37 am

puglet

Hi Rose--you being a good girl and doing what the doctor order?lol

2:38 am

rbud

oh, so true, pug, and it's been so long in coming that I'm excited every morning. But it's hard to get the sawdust out of everywhere, lol!

2:38 am

grannyrose

of course i am, pugs..

2:38 am

flosey

hi everyone, have been lurking/eating

2:39 am

puglet

if so Rose then how is it you are sick of plaster dust

2:39 am

puglet

Hi ya Flosey

2:39 am

flosey

hi puglet

2:41 am

puglet

How close are you to being done Rbud

2:43 am

grannyrose

pugs, himself is sanding the new plaster. gosh that stuff is fine, gets into everything

2:43 am

rbud

with the house? I'll probably be done by Christmas, haha! but if I did it full time, maybe a couple of weeks. the tricky part will be the cabinets, I think.

2:43 am

grannyrose

and flosey, thanx for wishing up this lovely grid for me..lol

2:44 am

flosey

lol, just for you rose - am up to 213 but falling asleep

2:45 am

puglet

did you decide to go with building them yourself-Rbud

2:46 am

flosey

eyes are crossing, must get to bed goodnight all

2:46 am

puglet

g-night Flosey

2:46 am

rbud

I think so. I've got it all figured out, as long as the plumbing and such works out. going to have someone else do the counters, I think, though. Hubs is getting cheap now, he's afraid we'll run out of money if we hire out too much

2:47 am

grannyrose

night, dearest flosey. sweet dreams, hun

2:47 am

flosey

thanks puglet and rose, you too

2:49 am

puglet

You will love it so much more doing it yourself anyways

2:50 am

puglet

Mrs Rose how are you doing ?

2:50 am

puglet

Our poor Sprite is going to have a rough road to travel for awhile

2:54 am

grannyrose

pugs, okay now, thanx for asking dear. and you, hun?

2:55 am

puglet

Iam fine and dandy--a bit cool this morning the temps dropped to 50

2:56 am

puglet

How are you doing staying off that leg

2:56 am

grannyrose

well haven't done a lot of walking today.

2:58 am

puglet

Just today? Are you not to stay off of it for 2 weeks?It cant mend if you dont

2:59 am

puglet

guess Iam sounding like your mama-lol sorry

3:01 am

rbud

think I'm going to try to stay up till daylight, have a ten-inch long soft-shelled turtle a "friend" of ours caught and left in our yard in a rabbit cage. I plan to let it go, he's not been back today to get it. poor little thing.

3:03 am

puglet

ahh I would too. I have always wanted one of those huge land turtles for a pet

3:03 am

grannyrose

lol, pugs, my mama would never say that to me, she only cares about herself, nobody else. everything is about her.

3:03 am

rbud

I'll take it back down to the canal where he found it, and hope it can find its way home. not going to hike very far if I can help it. :P

3:04 am

rbud

there's quite a long bike path down there, no idea where he was when he caught it.

3:04 am

puglet

Is it safe you out there by yourself Rbud at the break of day

3:06 am

puglet

Well I care Rose and I know you being an active person how hard it must be for you to follow orders like that

3:06 am

rbud

oh, yes, there's a big Dept. of Natural Resources parking lot right next to the canal, people go there and fish all the time. I just plan to go down the bike path a ways so it won't be right there near the public area.

3:06 am

grannyrose

appreciate it, pugs.

3:07 am

rbud

okay, g'rose, now I want to fuss over you a bit, too, lol! I agree you better be taking it easy. (((hug))) ♥

3:08 am

rbud

(noticed I was sounding a bit self-centered myself, hahaha!)

3:08 am

puglet

sitting here I cant see you not trying to have a hand in that sanding of the plaster-lol

3:08 am

grannyrose

thanx rbud

3:08 am

grannyrose

aww, rbud, you are never self-centred, hun.

3:10 am

grannyrose

oh, believe me, pugs, sanding the plaster hold no attraction at all....now if you talk about gardening....

3:10 am

puglet

what are you remodeling Rose

3:10 am

rbud

I just can't believe this guy caught the turtle and then left it here. I told him to take it back as soon as I saw it, and he just left. what a jerk. he said he plans to trade it to someone who'll cook it. nooooo!!!! liberate the turtle, lol!!!

3:11 am

grannyrose

we are turning the loungeroom into our bedroom, and vice versa. after that the entrance hall, then the kitchen...i hope...

3:11 am

puglet

I didnt know you could eat soft shell turtles

3:12 am

grannyrose

awwww, rbud, your idea is better re the turtle

3:12 am

puglet

You doing it all yourself Rose(or rather yours doing it himself)

3:13 am

rbud

hmmm, we moved our bedroom to a new room in the back, and our living room to our old bedroom. now are moving the kitchen to the old living room. will triple the size. Then I hope to make the old kitchen into a big bathroom. sounds like we are thinking alike, g'rose! :)

3:13 am

grannyrose

yes, pugs. his wallet could stand the strain of paying someone el4 to do it.

3:13 am

rbud

I don't want to eat ANY turtles, myself. tried it once years ago, yuck!

3:14 am

grannyrose

not that he's a tightwad...but, once, just after we were married, he opened his wallet to get a card out, and out flew a moth...lol

3:15 am

puglet

we use to hunt snappers several years ago and they were very good

3:15 am

rbud

LOL, g'rose! mine always says he's broke, no matter how much he has socked away. works for him, but I know better.

3:15 am

puglet

lol-Rose---well that will keep him busy for quite sometime then

3:19 am

puglet

My guy is good at starting projects but not finishing

3:22 am

grannyrose

sounds like my guy, too. he started our bathroom 3 years ago. i have a shower, bath and handbasin. still waiting for the toilet to be plumbed, and the last bit of painting, the wooden trim around the windows. *sigh*

3:23 am

puglet

giggles---I know the feeling!

3:23 am

grannyrose

oh, he has painted everything el4, put down new flooring, and installed a new heater/fan/light fixture. but it took 2 1/2 years to get to that stage. he has done nothing since my knee operation june 2012

3:24 am

rbud

mine used to build all kinds of things, but now that he's disabled, all things to do with the house are either unimportant or my problem. for example, the guy who put in our new floors (the old ones were rotten) found a leak in the kitchen sink drainpipe down below, but hubs has a spasm if I mention hiring someone to fix it.

3:24 am

rbud

now I have to be a plumber, too? grrrr...

3:25 am

grannyrose

ditto, here, rbud. why can't they admit when their poor old bodies cannot handle it anymore. and accept help..

3:26 am

puglet

things that matter to us must not seem to be a big deal to them. As long as they got a place to eat and sleep thats all that matters

3:27 am

rbud

he keeps calling the new front door and storm door "the most expensive hole in the house", lol!

3:28 am

rbud

I love it, and he did go ahead and get the deck part of the porch built, yay! now for the posts and the roof - that might take a while.

3:29 am

rbud

but i insist I want a real porch, not just a deck.

3:29 am

grannyrose

rofl, rbud. i have had the deck part of our back deck done for 7 years, still waiting for the posts, steps, and roof. all i can say is...don't hold your breath, hun

3:31 am

rbud

oh, I know. this was only a priority to him because now he can park his electric chair right by the door. (thus allowing him to only have to walk a little ways to get to the recliner!)

3:32 am

rbud

but if it rains, one of us has to jump in the chair and ride it out to his shop, where there's a carport to shelter it. And fetch it back the next day for him.

3:33 am

rbud

I admit I flinched when I found out the gas company charges a flat $750 to move a meter, which we had to have done. wow!

3:33 am

grannyrose

here's a thought, rbud. could you afford to buy a weather-proof cover for the chair?

3:34 am

grannyrose

ouch, rbud...

3:35 am

rbud

well, maybe, but we do put plastic over it now, sometimes, if it's only a light drizzle and not too windy. he's just acting more disabled than he really is, the spoiled thing. the dr. even told him to exercise, but he won't.

3:36 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, does someone need to step up, and provoke him into doing the right thing? surely he's tired of playing the invalid.

3:40 am

grannyrose

rbud, do you have anyone who can talk to him, one on one? sometimes when diagnosed with a progressive debilitating disorder, patients just throw inthe towel. they forget they have a lot of productive years left to them.

3:40 am

puglet

I know several people just like that and I just dont get it! So many would love to be able to walk or whatever and cant. And to just give up is so sad

3:41 am

rubyfoo

hello. Does anybody know whaT TO DO IF YOU GET STINGING NETTLES IN YOUR HAND?

3:41 am

rubyfoo

Sorry, didn't mean to shout

3:41 am

puglet

put in water

3:42 am

rubyfoo

hurts!

3:42 am

puglet

or thats what I do when I have gotten into them along the creek

3:43 am

rbud

ouch, ruby, I know they do. I've never found much to help, but it doesn't last terribly long, or at least the ones we have here don't.

3:43 am

rbud

(I just got back on, my computer decided to update itself, and cut me right off, lol!)

3:44 am

rubyfoo

Careless Nel, the NYC gardener -- lol

3:45 am

rubyfoo

Careless Nel, the NYC gardener -- lol

3:47 am

rbud

I had a huge tall patch of the stuff right outside the kitchen window this year, stood way back and cut them down with the long-handled lopper. Had someone else haul them to the weed pile.

3:47 am

grannyrose

ruby, aloe vera or baking soda. after you have gently washed the area with cool water.

3:47 am

grannyrose

use adhesive tape to remove the stings

3:47 am

rubyfoo

<-- feels like a jerk.

3:48 am

rubyfoo

Evidently, some people eat them in soup

3:49 am

rbud

I've heard that, but can't quite convince myself to try it.

3:49 am

puglet

yuck-I dont want any part of those things if I can help it

3:50 am

grannyrose

alternatively, use dock weed/ jewelweed/ or curled lock plant.rub area with a leaf of these plants.

3:50 am

grannyrose

3rd way, make a mud pack, smooth it over the area, when dry, gently brush off.

3:51 am

rubyfoo

I used hot water and soap, and it feels a little better. Not such a big deal but now I have a little rash. I've had worse!!!!

3:51 am

grannyrose

well miss ruby, pick one. personally i have used the mud pack and it worked well.

3:52 am

rubyfoo

Tape, I have, not the other stuff

3:52 am

rubyfoo

Nothing like making a big deal over a tiny problem.....Miss Egocentric Ruby! hahah

3:53 am

rbud

yep, it goes away fairly soon. not like the poison ivy we also have in abundance, I hate that stuff.

3:53 am

rubyfoo

thank you friends

3:53 am

I don't know if they have poison ivy in France but, of course, I would know it if I saw it

3:53 am

rubyfoo

wouldn't*

3:54 am

rubyfoo

do you realize we have two roses and two nancy's on line right now? Isn't that nice?

3:54 am

puglet

we have plenty of it but it dont bother me

3:55 am

grannyrose

use the tape, ruby, use the tape. do you have sorbolene...anything to cool and moisturise?

3:55 am

rbud

another hour till daylight - free the turtle, free the turtle! :D

3:56 am

rubyfoo

trying tape nowe

3:58 am

grannyrose

the tape will hopefully pull out any remaining stings. then sooth the are with whatever comes to hand. crushed ice, wrapped up in 3-4 layers of cotton is good. don't want to 'burn' with the ice.

3:58 am

grannyrose

*area*

4:01 am

rbud

I'm wondering if analgesic cream would help. I'd never be able to find it if I wanted it, though, even when I know there is some here.

4:01 am

rbud

darn kids...

4:02 am

rubyfoo

fixed! I used tape and now it is getting better

4:03 am

grannyrose

yahoo, well done, ruby

4:03 am

rbud

4:03 am

grannyrose

rbud, always have a tube of emlar on hand. google it, hun. it's great

4:03 am

rubyfoo

When I lived in Florida, I was once on a country road and there was an enormous turle crossing it. We stopped the car and I got out, picked it up and carried it in the direction it was going. It promptly turned around and walked straight back into the road!

4:04 am

rubyfoo

But I wouldn't eat one,just Lucky it didn't bite me because it wasnt happy when I picked it up

4:05 am

rbud

silly turtle! I've done that too, tried to help them across roads. never stayed long enough to see if they went on their way or not.

4:06 am

rubyfoo

that's called "No good deed goes unpunished"

4:07 am

rbud

nettle is almost in the grid today, too, I noticed it earlier, lol!

4:09 am

rubyfoo

ooh, just found the kind of beer, pi7

4:09 am

rubyfoo

tins

4:09 am

rubyfoo

sorry, was too excited

4:10 am

rbud

4:10 am

grannyrose

4:10 am

grannyrose

lol, snap, rbud

4:11 am

4:31 am

sprite

4:31 am

rubyfoo

aaah now I can leave for a while

4:32 am

if I remember correctly, the singular would be the tendency of things to return to their original state. As in speed returning to standing still etc.

4:34 am

grannyrose

other DIL, biltong. 3rd son very unhappy. might get a sore bum, trying to sit on the fence.

4:35 am

puglet

Yes he is! He took the time to explain everything

4:36 am

Biltong

lol, rose, you are too funny with your expressions, but sorry to hear he is unhappy.

4:36 am

sprite

oh rose, I thought your DIL who helped you. Poor you... good luck in the balancing act.

4:36 am

grannyrose

dearest sprite, will respond soonest, sweetie, to your email

4:37 am

sprite

whenever you have time and feel like it, rose, no hurry!

4:37 am

rbud

yoinks! our big cat just jumped up behind me in my chair here, he's never tried that before. freaked me out. of course there was no room for him there.

4:37 am

sprite

argh, quite a scare, rbud!

4:37 am

puglet

Me too Sprite

4:37 am

sprite

thanks pug, whenever it is good for you, ok? :)

4:38 am

zoozzoom

Bless he wants your attention, Rbud :-)

4:38 am

rbud

cat's getting old, sometimes I think he's a bit senile. he ended up teetering up on the back of the chair, had to pull him off. it's only a kitchen-type chair, lol

4:39 am

puglet

with the sudden change of temps this morning all my four-legged kids are hunkered under blankets-lol

4:39 am

sprite

lol, back to his kitten days!

4:40 am

sprite

we have sunny weather but without the horrible heat of the last few weeks. Terra is delighted... he finally gets to lie under a blanket again :)

4:40 am

grannyrose

awww, poor rbud's pussy-cat.

4:40 am

rbud

he's in my lap now, he almost never does that either. probably is the cooler temp, it's true.

4:40 am

grannyrose

lol, pugs, any room for you as well?

4:40 am

zoozzoom

I bet he is purring away, Happy now.

4:40 am

4:41 am

puglet

night Rose

4:41 am

rbud

he's very sensitive, the original scared-y cat. jumps three feet in the air at his own shadow sometimes.

4:41 am

zoozzoom

Oh flippinn flip...sorry, All.

4:41 am

sprite

night rose, will think of you

4:42 am

Biltong

bye rose

4:42 am

sprite

no problem, zooz, I didn't have it yet, so thanks ;)

4:44 am

rbud

he's the only one of our five cats that we actually brought home ourselves - well, hubby did. the rest are abandoned. one's been here around 8 years now, haha!

4:44 am

sprite

poor little one, rbud

4:44 am

sprite

but lucky to be able to live with you!

4:45 am

puglet

Ive gottin hooked on babble and my sister yesterday was griping that I never go to the old site anymore where we chatted-lol

4:45 am

sprite

aw... invite her to babble :)

4:45 am

rbud

poor old Jack, though, he's around 14 or so now. usually very set in his ways, but I think all the remodeling has him upset.

4:45 am

puglet

I did and another friend too but they dont like word games

4:46 am

rbud

his old spot on the couch doesn't exist any more, we threw it out, lol

4:46 am

sprite

that is a shame. Tell them they will learn to love it here :D

4:46 am

sprite

oh, cats usually don't like that at all, rbud. Especially older ones. But they will get used to it once the unrest is over with.

4:46 am

puglet

I tried too Sprite but to no luck

4:47 am

sprite

too bad, pug. We got you now and we won't let you go.

4:47 am

puglet

ahh poor kitty! He wants his bed back

4:48 am

Biltong

BBL, have fun everyone :)

4:48 am

bye Biltong, have a grand day!

4:48 am

puglet

4:48 am

zoozzoom

Bye, Biltong.

4:49 am

sprite

amazing, a 300+ grid with a dead left corner.

4:49 am

zoozzoom

Thats what i thought, Sprite.

4:49 am

rbud

good thing his corner of my bed is still around, though in a new room. (he likes the corner right under the gooseneck reading lamp - right where I usually put the book, lol!!)

4:50 am

sprite

just realised. Might have been a jumbo grid if those corner letters had been different

4:50 am

puglet

the puzzles this week have been on the weird side

4:50 am

sprite

lol yes, a nice and warm spot for the cat, rbud. No matter you can't read because of it. :D

4:51 am

zoozzoom

At least he still has somewhere familiar, Rbud :-)

4:53 am

rbud

cats are so good at plunking themselves right on top of whatever you're doing. I used to have one who liked to sit on the backgammon board, preferably in the middle of a game.

4:53 am

sprite

hm, opinel is a brand name, apparently

4:54 am

zoozzoom

Ok 144 left to find...bath water ready..nice to see you all..take care..byee

4:54 am

sprite

oh yes, rbud. My cat was exactly like that. He had to be on top of my book, right under my embroidery, on top of my knitting, in front of the tv... name it. He was devious that way :)

4:54 am

sprite

enjoy, zooz!

4:55 am

puglet

bye Zoom

4:55 am

puglet

I need 135 more

4:55 am

sprite

I still need 197

4:56 am

rbud

107 left here, the company's been so good, I've stuck way past my usual halfway point.

4:56 am

puglet

you just started Mrs Speedy

4:56 am

sprite

lovely to hear, rbud!

4:57 am

sprite

first half on big grids is usually fast, pug. Second half less so, lol.

4:57 am

rbud

though I've barely put a word in this last hour, lol

4:57 am

puglet

Yes the company has been great this morning

4:58 am

rbud

almost daylight now, I checked Mr. Turtle and he's moving around since I put him on the closed in porch (so cool outside last night)

4:58 am

puglet

I got to poly paint my kitchen sink cabnet today if it warms enough

4:58 am

sprite

were up up early, can't you sleep or did you have night shift, rbud?

5:02 am

sprite

what is poly paint?

5:03 am

sprite

hiccup time. There we are again.

5:04 am

sprite

e

5:05 am

sprite

sorry... thumbs slipped on the space bar

5:16 am

rbud

I'm releasing a soft-shelled turtle this AM, sprite, if you're still here. it was caught by a guy and left here, he said he's going to get it killed and cooked, but he's not been back for more than a day, the heck with him.

5:16 am

rbud

taking it back to the canal it was caught at, hope it can find its way home.

5:16 am

sprite

sounds like a plan, rbud. What an odd guy.

5:18 am

rbud

he's turtle-obsessed, keeps catching them. last fall he kept one in an aquarium for months and finally let it go. I think he should just leave the poor things where he finds them, but no.

5:18 am

sprite

indeed. Leave them in peace.

5:19 am

rbud

this is the first soft-shelled one I've ever seen close up. kind of icky, lol! but I'll get him there.

5:19 am

sprite

didn't even know they existed.

5:21 am

rbud

its shell is about ten inches long, and it has a long skinny snout. I'm used to snappers and box turtles, but this is a first for me.

5:21 am

rbud

shell flexes when you try to pick it up, like cartilage instead of being hard. ewwww....

5:21 am

sprite

just looked them up on google... kind of leathery carpace, right? A bit scary.

5:22 am

rbud

not what you normally think of when you say "turtle", for sure.

5:24 am

sprite

I like the idea the little one will be swimming in freedom again today, rbud.

5:24 am

rbud

Hubby said he saw the guy at the bar last night, and told him we're letting it go, and he got ticked off and stomped out. Too bad.

5:25 am

rbud

I'm not a turtle nurse, lol!

5:25 am

sprite

a real weirdo. What does he think? That you are some kind of kitchen cupboard for stuff he intends to eat one day?

5:25 am

sprite

lol, exactly

5:26 am

rbud

So that's why I'm still up, and it's not getting light out fast enough to suit me. Maybe by the time I get dressed and find something to carry him in. Hmmm, a sixpack cooler maybe.

5:27 am

sprite

bless your heart, rbud

5:28 am

rbud

Luckily the canal is very nearby, this guy rode a bicycle out to fish in it the other day, so its home hopefully can't be too far from where I plan to let it out.

5:28 am

sprite

indeed. I hope he can find his way home.

5:29 am

rbud

At least I'll feel better, it's been bugging me the last two nights, knowing it was out there stuck in a cage in the grass.

5:31 am

sprite

yeah, I can't believe such a person. If he has time to go to the pub, he has time to come and collect the poor thing. Well, too late! Off to freedom he goes.

5:33 am

rbud

yep! I'm in my clothes now, off to find a cooler. see ya later, will recount my adventures if any. :)

5:36 am

sprite

*hug* and I will be looking forward to hearing it all!

5:51 am

Oh my dear rose... so true. I was one myself back then. My husband and I actually went to relation therapy together in the early days. Am still so grateful we did.

6:02 am

grannyrose

son and his wife have hit a rough spot. (youngest son) wish i could give them both all the years of experience i have...

6:03 am

sprite

oh yes, wouldn't that be awesome. But the only way to where you are is right through all the rough spots together... communication in a marriage is the most important thing.

6:04 am

grannyrose

sprite, have tried to point it out to both of them.

6:04 am

sprite

not an easy thing at all, rose. I admire your wisdom.

1:40 pm

are you vacationing there Katie-----------Hello E1

1:43 pm

KatieMcG

Hi Puglet, yep next may for 8 days with Mari & Norma. I am then flying to Pittsburgh to meet my husband and drive down to West Virginia to stay with family for another 8 days. Took us ages to sort out all the flights :)

1:43 pm

rbud

hey, all, good afternoon (and other relevant times of day) - feeling pretty good, turned the turtle loose at the crack of dawn, pug, and it was a happy turtle. :)

1:44 pm

KatieMcG

turtle?

1:45 pm

puglet

great Rbud! Hurray for the TURTLE-lal

1:46 pm

rbud

yeah, had one some fool caught and left here two days ago, in a cage in the grass. Soft shell water type. felt sorry for it. (he was talking turtle soup or something like that)

1:46 pm

puglet

Oh Katie that all sounds exciting and that is beautifl country through there

1:46 pm

KatieMcG

oh my goodness. We done in setting it free :)

1:47 pm

KatieMcG

I went to Nashville and WV last year but so excited to spend longer in Nashville with Norma and Mom and then 8 days catching up with the family it should be great, just so long as I make all 6 flights on time lol

1:48 pm

rbud

I wish the guy would quit snatching them out of their natural environments, nobody wants to eat turtle that bad, I'm sure.

1:49 pm

bichon

at 7, pls

1:49 pm

rbud

Sure sounds like a good time, Katie - good luck with all the flights, wow!

1:50 pm

puglet,check your e-mail.i sent off some more info for you

1:52 pm

KatieMcG

it was a challenge to make sure that everyone who needed to be together were on the right planes together. We have to change at New York to get anywhere if we want to fly from our local airport, so my husband who is only doing the WV bit of the trip needs to take 4 flights to get there and back, however I have to take two more as I need to get from Nashville to Pittsburgh which I am doing via O'Hare

1:53 pm

bichon

Good luck Katie. Just returned from the West Coast and the check in at San Francisco was a nighmare. Arrive early, expect to wait

1:53 pm

rbud

oh, Katie, you'll be within an hour and a half of here at O'hare, so close!

1:54 pm

puglet

Okay Crosshair Hi and thank you so much for putting all that time in on informing me

1:54 pm

KatieMcG

That was another thing bichon I have made sure that for nearly all of the flights there is at least 3.5 hours to do the transfers with the exception of O'hare where I only have two hours. Just working on the principle I would rather be sitting reading my kindle than stressed out to make quicker transfers

5:30 pm

5:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

night, karys. hi stiddy

5:30 pm

Karys

lovely grid stid ..enjoy !

5:35 pm

stidmama

thanks karts -- hello TO! So happy to see you today. Was thinking how much I wish I could meet you in person -- I know you have often (by Babble standards) met with some of the east-coast crowd.

5:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

how is the building coming along?

5:41 pm

stidmama

well, I didn't get out to the house today yet -- stopped at Mothers and went over the lighting plan we developed this morning with a lighting expert and then the weather is so pre-storm that I had to come home and rest a while.

5:42 pm

stidmama

BUT. Yesterday they got all the fill in place so they should be working on getting the rebar and waste-plumbing today and tomorrow (our home will be a slab with radiant heat so a lot more time and work on the foundation).

5:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

did you have that type of heat before> I have heard good things about it

5:45 pm

stidmama

i have not, but I have always wanted it because all my research tells me it is the most efficient way to heat a home - and since our climate is usually so mild in the summer I don't really need or want any sort of whole-house airconditioning. If later on it becomes necessary to think about cooling, there are some amazing ductless heat pump systems I could install.

5:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

nice

5:46 pm

stidmama

My only concern with it is that someday we might have grandchildren and concrete is hard. But I suppose when/if that happens I could get an area rug to pad their falls. We are going to stain the cement and seal it rather than put something over it that would impede the transfer of heat to the air.

5:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

they can put nice finishes on concrete as they sofro countertops

5:48 pm

stidmama

yes, they can -- and I am looking forward to seeing what our options will be. I want something that will be interesting, but not too over-the top design or cost-wise.

5:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have to run to church - see you later!

5:50 pm

stidmama

later TO -- have a lovely evening!

5:53 pm

stidmama

Nef

Good Evening Everyone! How are you all this evening? (I am BUSHED! Trying to keep up with my grandson today was hard!)

9:00 pm

Jellen

Hi Nef

9:01 pm

Nef

Hi Jellen! I haven't seen you in ---forever it seems! :-)

9:01 pm

Jellen

True, Nef...

9:01 pm

Jellen

I've been scarce.

9:02 pm

gapeach

Hey there, Nef.

9:02 pm

Nef

New guy I see; Very nice looking guy! How longhave you 2 been an item?

9:02 pm

Nef

Hi peach! How are you doing?

9:02 pm

Jellen

Four months or so...

9:03 pm

Nef

Yay, Jellen! :-D

9:03 pm

Nef

You deserve some happiness.

9:03 pm

Jellen

Yup!

9:04 pm

gapeach

Doing OK, thanks, Nef. Kiddos just seem to have more energy than we.

9:06 pm

Nef

I keep thinking that it wasn't this hard to do with my kids; but somewhere along the way I guess I've gotten older!

9:06 pm

gapeach

LOL, Nef. Most of us have.

9:08 pm

Nef

MOST, peach??? Considering the alternative; I guess we don't have much choice, do we? ;-)

9:10 pm

Nef

I don't want to complain; but I'm no longer able to crawl on the floor or sit a-kimble for hours anymore. (That sure slows down the HotWheels car racing and playing with trains

9:17 pm

magazinemom

hi all!

9:19 pm

Nef

Hi magazinemon

9:20 pm

magazinemom

hey nef

9:21 pm

Nef

I'm trying to get to 100 words; but I'm not sure I'll stay awake very long tonight.

9:21 pm

Nef

How's life treating you?

9:23 pm

magazinemom

Pretty good. Getting the kids back to school is a chore.

9:24 pm

magazinemom

I hear you about getting down on the floor. Was helping Teen 2 decorate his locker today and the kids had to haul me off the floor :)

9:24 pm

Nef

I'm so glad I'm a long way past that. Although now that our son and his wife and 4 year old moved, in; I'll probably be involved with some of that with our grandson.

9:25 pm

Nef

BUT it won't be *My* responsibility! :-)

9:25 pm

magazinemom

Grandkids are looking pretty good at this point. lol

9:27 pm

Nef

Well, you don't look old enough for grandkids yet; and my grandson will probably be the only 1 I have; but he is the apple of my eye! :-)

9:28 pm

magazinemom

Not yet. The kids are 15 and 13. 4 is such a fun age. They are discovering something every second

9:31 pm

Nef

his only playmate here is a 7 year old girl from across the street. She's a nice enough girl; but her family is --different (she lives with her great grandmother across the strew while her mother 2 younger brothers and her grandmother live (and rent) next door to us; not sure why of what for; but very odd.

9:32 pm

Nef

(Her 2 brothers are 11 months and not quite 2 yet; too young this year to play outside with a busy 4 year old)

9:39 pm

magazinemom

That does seem odd

9:51 pm

Nef

Sorry, wandered off for a bit. I think I'm too tired to play; or too tired to chat; or maybe too tired to do either.

10:17 pm

stidmama

hey all

10:24 pm

torgone

Not much chatter for a big grid ..

10:32 pm

stidmama

no, not much. I keep wandering off, too.

10:33 pm

stidmama

how are you today, tor?

10:34 pm

torgone

Not bad ..

10:35 pm

torgone

Aiming just to get under 100 on this one today ..

10:39 pm

stidmama

under 100 sounds ambitious to me.

10:40 pm

stidmama

I am not to halfway yet, and still have a blank ti4 *sigh*

10:40 pm

torgone

Which one?

10:43 pm

stidmama

lower right corner E

10:45 pm

bogster

that made no sense

10:45 pm

stidmama

what made no sense bogster?

10:46 pm

bogster

there is no t in the lower corner

10:46 pm

torgone

Weird words .. e + Francis +vowel

10:46 pm

stidmama

no, there isn't, but there is an E ... thanks tor

10:46 pm

stidmama

*thinking*

10:47 pm

stidmama

what an interesting word. like a sine wave term? *runs to look up definition*

10:47 pm

torgone

The Catholic poo bah Francis

10:48 pm

stidmama

interesting. I have never heard that term used!

10:48 pm

stidmama

and nothing, apparently, to do with math or science. LOL

10:48 pm

torgone

stid meant she had a blank ti4/4 - the square thing with a letter on it ..

10:49 pm

stidmama

okay, NBT and I am happy.

10:49 pm

stidmama

thanks for explaining, tor - I am too migrainy today to communicate clearly it seems. *sigh*

10:49 pm

bogster

ok

10:49 pm

torgone

No worries ..

10:51 pm

stidmama

oooh! but I DID find the EN 9 all by myself just now! *proud mama look*

10:55 pm

stidmama

It's raining again...

10:57 pm

torgone

We could use some rain here ..

10:58 pm

Uneaixoise

we're 6 inches above normal right now -- great for the grass, flowers, etc. :-)

10:58 pm

stidmama

trés bien! :-D

10:59 pm

Uneaixoise

hey stiddy :-)

10:59 pm

stidmama

tor, I would send you some if I could. I was so glad to get it - It hasn't rained a significant amount since June and since I can't water things in my garden, it was looking so sad.

10:59 pm

Uneaixoise

really odd to see everything lush and green in August!

10:59 pm

stidmama

I bet! But nice for wildfire status, I hope.

11:00 pm

stidmama

Assuming the rain didn't start with lightning, I suppose.

11:04 pm

torgone

It has been quite mild though, so that's nice ..

11:09 pm

stidmama

mild is a definite plus. :-)

Well, I am exhausted and need to take a break. I won't finish, but I got down to 112, which is good enough today. Have a nice day tomorrow, everyone! *poof*

11:16 pm

torgone

ni6/18, stid ..

11:56 pm

uusue2

testing new icon...

11:57 pm

ok, it works, bedtime, see you all tomorrow!
