Erda

He means it has a feline beginning

12:49 am

crosshair

just one of those nights, liz. The mind is churning and sleep eludes me for now.

12:49 am

Lizlin

Find words then! I hate nights like that.

12:50 am

torgone

Nothing really .. It's a made up word I've been using for years .. It derives from "Torgo" a character in the movie "Manos, The Hands of Fate"

12:51 am

rururocks

oh.. okay.. thanks

12:52 am

crosshair

it is interesting, sometimes, to find the history behind babble names

12:52 am

Erda

...and Ithought you were talking about this game...

12:53 am

rururocks

we are ...erda ... and the characters in it

12:54 am

Erda

yes -- I realized that after I spoke

12:58 am

jbp

I always thought it had to do with the Tom Servo robot, Tor

g'day blueheron

4:00 am

rubyfoo

good morning

4:02 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} ruby

4:02 am

rubyfoo

4:03 am

rubyfoo

I think my son my be coming to Australia -- he and his ife are talking about 3 or 4 major trips because he's in the process of quitting his job!!!!

4:03 am

rubyfoo

I don't know if he's read me his bucket list, or if he's serious. And, of course, no idea of where or when.

4:04 am

rubyfoo

ooh, you're in the grid! Where'll be a big party in the PB in your honor!

4:05 am

grannyrose

just keep me in the loop, ruby. if he needs a sponsor, please put him in touch with me

4:05 am

rubyfoo

he drives me crazy, but what he does is none of my onions (as the French say). Hopefully he's coming to see his old mother in September

4:06 am

grannyrose

ruby, how many offspring do you have? and where in the world are they?

4:08 am

rubyfoo

I only have 50 yr old John Reed (and his wife, Denise). Burt has 3 children, 5 grands and 3 great-grands but is only in touch with Lisa, the one who is coming next week

4:08 am

rubyfoo

John is in TX, Lisa in California, other daughter and grand kids in NY and son and more grandkids in Hawaii

4:09 am

grannyrose

oh, that is too sad for burt. but hey, you only had to handle one teen boy, lucky you!!...lol

4:09 am

rubyfoo

And Burt is only in contact with her because I write to her and send her tickets.

4:10 am

rubyfoo

he is getting increasingly strange. With your experience with your mother andDon's, is it better to help them remember, to push them a little bit, or to let everything slide?

4:10 am

grannyrose

i hope this question doesn't hurt you too much. burt's first wife?? is she still alive??

4:11 am

rubyfoo

all 3 of his previous wives (!!!) are alive but I couldn't care less

4:11 am

rubyfoo

He can barely remember their names without prompting

4:12 am

grannyrose

according to medical research, mental stimulation does seem to help a lot. perhaps if you google it?? but understanding where you are....hmmmm..perhaps it would be better to continue this line of conversation via email?

4:12 am

rubyfoo

okay, I'm just so pressed for time these days, I can barely come up for air

4:12 am

grannyrose

egad!!! 3 wives!!!! i am absolutely gob-smacked.

4:13 am

rubyfoo

bluebeard

4:14 am

grannyrose

yeah!!! * wonders what the defect is in burt's persona*

4:14 am

rubyfoo

let me count the ways! lol

4:16 am

sprite

good morning all

4:17 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} sprite....and xxxxx too

4:17 am

sprite

*hugs rose*

4:17 am

rubyfoo

4:17 am

rubyfoo

sprite has met Burt, so knows that he can be charming

4:18 am

sprite

hm it wasn't the charming bit that touched me, but his vulnerability and the hurt he carries inside.

4:19 am

sprite

*hugs ruby*

4:20 am

grannyrose

yeah, i know, ruby...but i am not going to denigrate sprite's observatory powers. but i have 'picked' flaws in other people so often. maybe it because i have been taught to be so observant as a nurse.

4:21 am

sprite

a life of ptsd isn't a bad start either, though

4:21 am

grannyrose

i can see when it is a male pretending to be female so much earlier than others in the group, and vice versa.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

sprite is much more sensitive than I. Day-to-day, the whole thing gets very tiresome

4:21 am

grannyrose

yeah, sprite, ptsd does make you super-sensitive. i know that for a fact.

4:22 am

sprite

ruby, it is a helluva job to care for Burt, no matter what his issues are.

4:22 am

grannyrose

of course it does, ruby. and that is why sprite and i are in your life...to help you through the rough and tough times.

4:23 am

sprite

anything at all evil, overbearing, manipulative in a person and I know from the start. Alas.

4:23 am

rubyfoo

If I let myself be too sensitive, I couldn't go on. I try to inure myself to his nastiness when it happens and just walk away and pretend nothing happened

4:24 am

rubyfoo

He is totally passive-aggressive and I'm sure, when his daughter arrives next week,h'ellbe a different person for those 10 days

4:25 am

grannyrose

it's difficult to live with, isn't it sprite? you want to stand on the highest place and scream the truth...but others feelings have to be considered..

4:25 am

sprite

and our ruby is a little fire eater, feisty and vibrant but maybe not very patient. And even a bit of sharpness or impatience makes Burt panic inside and act out or fully withdraw. It is a hard combination, especially now that he is so old and unchangeable.

4:26 am

grannyrose

sprite, how was your night, dearest?

4:26 am

sprite

having said that, I also realise that in a few days of visiting, I cannot have seen it all or judged it to its worth!

4:26 am

rubyfoo

yesterday, I finally told him to stop wallowing in his regrets, try to look at how healthy he is and how lucky to be here That his very visible sadness and self-blame only makes it worse for me.

4:26 am

rubyfoo

He shaped up a little bit after that, but it didn't last

4:26 am

sprite

rotten, rose. Dreamt of vampires, for crying out loud. No idea where that came from.

4:27 am

grannyrose

awww, sprite...nasty!!

4:27 am

sprite

in those words, ruby?

4:27 am

rubyfoo

yes, but maybe he needed to hear it.

4:28 am

rubyfoo

we all hae our own crosses to bear and I've surely had my share but there's no point in going on and on

4:28 am

sprite

lol yeah, it was nasty. Imagine... living in a camper. Having a small child to keep safe. Strong men around me to help fight the beasts. Camper reinforced all around plus the bottom, they said. Yeah. They forgot the top.

4:28 am

rubyfoo

do you watch vampire or zombie movies, sprite? If yes, don't!

4:29 am

grannyrose

hopefully, ruby...just give him time to absorb what you said...if still no impact, repeat...sometimes it takes quite a few repitions to impact

4:29 am

sprite

no, didn't, ruby, at all, lol. My dreams often come out of the blue.

4:30 am

grannyrose

oh, sprite...*sending angels to protect sprite and her children*

4:30 am

sprite

I have often found that when you want people to hear you about things they should change about their behaviour, you need to build a bit of rapport first. If they don't feel safe, they tend to keep everything out just for protection.

4:30 am

rubyfoo

I incorporate actors and actresses from TV and films and frequently I'm not even in them. It's very pleasant, but I never rembmer them

4:31 am

sprite

lol yes rose. Plus windows that kept unlocking and doors that were not closed, while I did check them just before. All the basic ingredients for a nightmare. Very tiring.

4:31 am

rubyfoo

I know Burt can't change, but I am sick of hearing the same old sh**

4:31 am

grannyrose

well at least i have stopped dismembering my mother...* sigh *

4:32 am

sprite

yeah you can leave that to the worms now, rose, lolol.... or the fire, not sure.

4:35 am

grannyrose

worms are good...

4:36 am

sprite

sorry sweetie, if that was too insensitive. I know how she put you down all the time, so I am not very friendly towards her ;)

4:36 am

grannyrose

like the thought of them wriggling through her brain...

4:37 am

sprite

finally something decent alive there?

4:37 am

grannyrose

ugh, sprite...you win, hands down...

4:37 am

rubyfoo

stop, I'm only phobic about worms, aside from the monster spider in the sink

4:37 am

sprite

*hugs rose*

4:38 am

sprite

aw poor ruby! How are your dogs doing?

4:38 am

grannyrose

ohhh, sorry ruby...maggots give me the heebies, not worms..

4:39 am

sprite

oh me too. I once had this garbage bag that I had to carry down to the disposal, when I was still living in a flat. And halfway there I felt something slither over my hand... yeah right.

4:39 am

rubyfoo

I don't mind worms in the garden, but in the house.....ack

4:39 am

grannyrose

i have just seen that the insurgents have just beheaded an american journalist...i am wondering how america is going to react to that.

4:40 am

rubyfoo

but THAT spider, totally new kind of scared. I googled it and think it was a Tegenaria Gigantea

4:40 am

sprite

oh god, rose. How horrible. And... yes. War threatening?

4:40 am

rubyfoo

must run, my friends, {{big hug}}

4:40 am

grannyrose

oh, lord...when will this all stop?? i see mothers and fathers grieving for their children...it breaks my heart.

4:41 am

sprite

bye ruby *hug*

4:41 am

zoozzoom

Sunny days, Smell of roses,Chocolates, Hugs,Happiness,Friends...Sorry just counter-balancing the horrible words in the grid.

4:41 am

grannyrose

enjoy your lunch, dear ruby

4:41 am

zoozzoom

In chog* Rather.

4:41 am

grannyrose

{{zooz}} thanx for that. you are so right..

4:41 am

sprite

hiya zooz :) *hug* Great words you have there. I know another one: zooz.

4:42 am

grannyrose

*grin* agreees with sprite

4:42 am

grannyrose

oops!! * agrees *

4:42 am

zoozzoom

Aww thanks..gosh it has got hot in here *opens window*

4:42 am

sprite

ugh that is some spider!

4:43 am

grannyrose

oh, and sprite? eat your heart out....we are having osso bucco again tonight...maybe when we are over there i could cook it for all of you.

4:44 am

rubyfoo

back for a minute, it's earlier than I thought.

4:44 am

rubyfoo

4:44 am

grannyrose

lolol, ruby

4:45 am

rubyfoo

sprit, has your weather improved? We've had several days of cool sunshine with the only rain happening at night

4:45 am

sprite

am jealous, lol. Rain, rain rain here

4:45 am

sprite

awesome, rose :)

4:45 am

grannyrose

*fans zooz* feeling better mate??

4:46 am

rubyfoo

After this very rainy summer, it is a pleasure to have some sunshine, even if it'scold. Sleeping under the duvet again

4:46 am

grannyrose

sprite, will bring my recipe over with me...

4:46 am

sprite

yeah I was cold tonight, without a duvet.

4:46 am

sprite

please do, rose, darling. Or email it, we can print it out here.

4:47 am

grannyrose

oh, oh, oh...and my first tulip has shown it's leaves...i am so excited...

4:47 am

zoozzoom

Ossobuco is a tasty dish for sure.

4:47 am

zoozzoom

((Ruby))

4:47 am

sprite

oh, ruby, I am not afraid of spiders. But I think I would be afraid of that one!

4:47 am

rubyfoo

he was almost as big as my hand and was much too active

4:48 am

sprite

yay for the tulips

4:48 am

grannyrose

nasty spider, ruby....

4:48 am

rubyfoo

I didn't get a good enough look to make a positive ID (like the witnesses in the police programs lol), but it wasn't a wolf spider or a tarantula as it wasn't hairy

4:48 am

sprite

zooz, have you made an appointment with the health institute?

4:49 am

grannyrose

sprite, will send pics if they are worthy to see.

4:49 am

sprite

ok rose! Cool!

4:52 am

zoozzoom

No not yet, Sprite..can't be bothered at the moment..lol maybe sometime next week :-)

4:52 am

sprite

do it now, zooz, lovely man. You may have to wait anyway.

4:57 am

zoozzoom

Sorry, Sprite, phone went..Yes true they are slow over here so will take some time..lol

4:58 am

sprite

it is hard to make that first step, isn't it. *hugs* But important.

5:03 am

grannyrose

okay, IBS is playing up...sorry. trying to catch up

5:04 am

sprite

poor rose

5:04 am

grannyrose

zooz, health institute...just what are you putting off?

5:08 am

zoozzoom

Sorry ladies I did write a rather lengthy response..but it got swollowed by the bloody babble freeze..but in a nutshell..been before..not get on with person with her sharpness..told doctor hence why I was put on tablets (time when I was being silly)..Rose do not want to find I am seeing another cold person and then doctor thinking i am taking the piss.

5:10 am

sprite

if it is a cold person, you just tell them politely it does not click with them and to please assign you another person. And you were never silly, zooz. Don't sell yourself short, you were suffering badly then.

5:12 am

grannyrose

awww, zooz. that is the last thing you need...a 'cold' medical professional. please ask them for another consultant.

5:12 am

sprite

you may find you will be seeing a warm and caring person, zooz, imagine that :)

5:13 am

grannyrose

and then...lol...please see sprite's response..

5:14 am

grannyrose

zooz, you talk to sprite, you talk to me...we are soul sisters..she says what i want to say, and visa versa.

5:14 am

sprite

lol

5:15 am

sprite

we are like socks, we come in a matched set

5:15 am

grannyrose

xoxox sprite...

5:15 am

sprite

luvu, rose!

5:16 am

zoozzoom

haha yes you never know. I am thinking if I can just get a job then maybe I will be OK and get on with my life. And stop being a wimp.

5:16 am

grannyrose

lol...yeah, sprite is the toe, and i am the heel..roflol

5:16 am

zoozzoom

A good combo then, rose :)

5:16 am

sprite

and contrary to most socks, our roles can be reversed

5:16 am

zoozzoom

oops left out your nose..try again... :-)

*burst of laughter* luv you sprite.

5:17 am

sprite

zooz, stop it, please. You are never a wimp. Depression is a serious illness, and won't be cured by finding a job. Get that help, and please call them now to make an appointment. You can stop it at any time, you know.

5:18 am

grannyrose

*ditto* zooz...please listen to sprite.

5:19 am

sprite

*mumble mumble stupid enable* I keep entering 'etage', which is french and dutch for floor (of a building). And the reason I keep thinking it should be valid is because you DO have 'etagere'.

5:20 am

zoozzoom

When I am here (home) I feel like on top of the world even round parents I feel great..to see me and hear me I am fine (hence why parents do not understand what's up) but when outside I hate it so much I am always looking around thinking people are staring at me..lol what the hell is all that about..lol

5:21 am

zoozzoom

5:22 am

zoozzoom

((Rose)) ((Sprite)) thanks for listening :-)

5:22 am

sprite

sounds to me like you are an ideal candidate for therapy, zooz. It is not negative, it is what you struggle with in your life and it is a very valid thing. You are not the only one either. So... please get that help? Give it a chance again.

5:23 am

sprite

anytime, zooz! *hugs*

5:28 am

teach, have a question for you. What is the name of a river which is named in a JOhn Denver song. It only flows through WV for 20 miles

6:59 am

wvteach

Shenandoah - not sure if it flows in WV at all - also the Blue Ridge Mountains are in VA not WV

7:00 am

bichon

It's a tributary of the Potomac

7:03 am

wvteach

Just looked it up - yes it is a tributary of the Potomac asnd joins the Potomac at Harpers Ferry which is right on the border out in the eastern panhandle - goes across a small piece of Jefferson County in the eastern panhandle

7:05 am

bichon

the Shenandoah?

7:05 am

wvteach

the song is "Country Roads" and WV just adopted it as oiur 4th official state song

7:06 am

bichon

that must be it as there are a lot of tributaries of the Potomace which run in WV

7:08 am

Wolvie

good grief- took me forever to find that en 8.

I haven't even attempted it yes. Hint, maybe Wolvie

9:36 am

mmm,bacon. Stuff has been too expensive here for many months now ($6.00 = tax for a pound of bacon) then last week I saw it on "sale" for $4.99 and got all excited until I saw they had reduced the package size from 500g to 375 g and i mean in all brands. the all changed package size together. how conveinient

9:36 am

9:36 am

Time to start raising your own pigs, Crossy.

9:37 am

jaxx7

One of the brown bantams has become broody and attacks anything in sight. We watch as she fluffs up her feathers and rushes at the resident crow which is twice her size.

9:37 am

crosshair

Well, what will happen is supply and demand. if nobody buys it they will get an overload of pigs and have to rethink the pricing

9:37 am

so, they are more pets than anything?

Glad you explained that, car. I must admit I was wondering what Judi would need a spray bottle for. The mind (on a go-slow today) boggled

9:42 am

Judi

No,Crossy. Apparently the prep has evolved. Two OTCC laxative pills, then OTC powdered (unflavored) Miralax mixed with 64 oz. of Gatorade. That will all be tonight.

9:43 am

Judi

Must drink 8 oz. of Gatorade mixture every 15 minutes. Ack.

9:43 am

jaxx7

Go no further, Judi. I get the picture. I will be thinking of you drinking that lot. I presume you do drink it and not give yourself an enema? lol

Must drink.

And now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!! With more and more websites like Facebook digging into our internet lives, sometimes we all crave a little more privacy as we surf the interwebs. With that in mind i offer the Tor browser https://tinyurl.com/3ty5dkk Take back some of your privacy!

I am running this on a regular basis now and will give you my thoughts on ti as time goes on.

Before you start using Tor...here is an article about it that will get you familiar with it's pros and cons.

yes, it is not perfect, but something that should be looked into

11:58 am

I will play around with some flash things and see how tor responds:)

12:04 pm

crosshair

google tor bridge relays if you are a flash game lover and har having issues with games or other sites that require heavy flash usage

12:04 pm

crosshair

so, in the early going, tor requires some fiddling, but if you are not afraid to get your hands dirty, it can do wonders for you

12:10 pm

crosshair

I see that tor has its own search engine so you would have to say goodbye to google and bing

12:11 pm

crosshair

well it uses a googlesque thing called "Startpage"

12:12 pm

crosshair

ok, I will pipe down now. explore it if you wish:)

12:28 pm

crosshair

If you have issues going to the site you want to head to, you will see a blue tor browser proxy lik in the search results. this may help. sadly it does not care too much for Stumbleupon program:)

I missed who said they were having vertoigo issues, but my beloved had a period of severe vertigo, to the point where it wqas getting in the way of her day to day life. it turned out that it was a result of an obscure side afect from some uninary tract medication.

there is one U.S city(I forget which one) that has, in addition to the standard water main hydrants, a system of gravity fed hydrants in case of water infrastructure failure. it is quite the set-up

penquis

sorry you're feeling poorly, phan...

6:01 pm

phandmd

thanks. I took some Ibuprofin hopefully it will help soon.

6:02 pm

phandmd

so, remember the nurse I mentioned that was so surprised I went to visit 2 of our residents that had been hospitalized?

6:02 pm

penquis

it should....yes, i remember...

6:04 pm

phandmd

well, yesterday, she didn't want to help an aide with one of her residents, I felt compelled to do it. (I float and basically, all the residents on our unit are my residents; I just take care of about 1/3 of them on any given day).

I have come to the conclusion that some nurses take care of their patients, and other nurses (me) actually care about their patients.

6:05 pm

penquis

ah....nicely said....you are probably right...

6:06 pm

phandmd

The problem is, I find it a bit frustrating that others don't put the same effort forth as I do...

6:07 pm

penquis

ah....well you can't control what others do...my philosophy is don't worry/agonize/get upset about something you have no control over....

6:07 pm

phandmd

true!

6:08 pm

penquis

it has made me a calmer person... ;o)

Nice to see you Pini

11:07 pm

poor richard

clues for the en8 and the ca8, please. Anyone?

11:10 pm

Jacula

poor richard - ca8 clue, is, as Molly said earlier... feline and song bird. (Sort of combined.)

11:10 pm

Jacula

poor richard - en8 is an ingress - a path into somewhere.

11:13 pm

Jacula

(Begin with the en5/14 before it for the en8.)

11:14 pm

poor richard

Jacula, got the en8. Thanks. Still can't find the ca8. Got the feline, then I'm stuck.

11:15 pm

Jacula

poor richard - after the feline, add a vowel, then think of the ending of a yellow songbird (often used in mines to check for noxious gasses in the air).

11:15 pm

Jacula

It's also an overhead cable for a trolley car. Well, that's one of the definitions.

11:17 pm

poor richard

Got it! Thanks! I don't have them all, but I'm going to bed!

11:17 pm

Jacula

If you don't know what the yellow songbird is straight off, think of the Mafia saying... 'sang like a...'.

11:17 pm

Jacula

Well done, pr! Sleep well.

11:21 pm

Jacula

I wonder if we'll get a decent-sized grid to gn4/10 on at the flip? 250 - 350 would be good.
