back again...just been trying to find certain peeps to let them know a mutual friend has passed. One lady is hard to find cos nobody can recall her surname plus she has moved so nobody knows her new address.....in my honest opinion - that wasn't a true friend.

1:15 am

grannyrose

cooee and g'day from me

1:16 am

VolleymomDee

tough job, diz. So sorry to hear about your friend.

1:17 am

VolleymomDee

hi (((rose)))

1:17 am

grannyrose

ugh, diz. horrible task. i had to do it when mother died.

1:17 am

dizgrannie

thx Dee, my friend is in a better place now.....fricking hate the big C....sorry for the language

1:18 am

grannyrose

hi {{dee}}

1:18 am

VolleymomDee

Completely understand. Went thru that with my mom; it was awful.

1:18 am

Lizlin

That's tough, Diz :(

1:18 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs, Rose

1:21 am

dizgrannie

at least she is now at peace and reunited with her dtr who died of leukemia 20 odd yrs ago.....Yvonne and Les raised their dtr 2 girls who were 2 and 8 at the time. They did a fantastic job.

1:22 am

dizgrannie

enough of feeling down.....back to the grid....xoxo

1:22 am

Lizlin

Always good, when a person's suffering ends. i guess that's all the consolation we can have.

1:23 am

dizgrannie

true Liz

1:26 am

grannyrose

back to winter again today liz. bucketing with the wet stuff and lots of wind. and this is after having the aircon on yesterday.

1:26 am

Lizlin

You definitely need to move up here - 30 C again today - but windy. It seems to have been windy all year!

1:28 am

grannyrose

i was watching a program last night, talking about hurricanes becoming more frequent all over australia. they were unheard of when i was a tacker.

1:28 am

Lizlin

Taking a break - 50 left but still no 8s!

1:28 am

Lizlin

No hurricanes here thank goodness - just lots of wind. No cyclones last year either!

1:29 am

grannyrose

catch you later, liz

1:29 am

Lizlin

See you later - hugs.

1:31 am

grannyrose

dee, don has taken advantage of the weather and has been working on the plumbing etc in the old laundry. w/machine currently standing on a pillar of bricks where the old boiler used to be.

1:32 am

grannyrose

he has finished removing all of one wall plasterboard, and half of the adjoining wall. he now has to move the machines to that wall so he can work on the floor.

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

back. What a huge project, rose! Brave of him to tackle. We have had that odd weather, too. A/C on early in the week, and we had snow flurries and sleet tonight. Also had a scary incident. Kids turned on their furnace last night around dinner time for the first time. About 10:45 PM, son-in-law wasn't feeling well - headache, some dizziness. He was wise enough to wonder if it was their gas furnace. They turned everything off and came here. The furnace company came today and discovered carbon monoxide levels 4 x safe level. They have to put in a new furnace in the "new" house they bought. I still don't understand why the inspector missed this.

1:40 am

VolleymomDee

Had they stayed, they probably would have died (according to the furnace guy)... sure said prayers of thanksgiving tonight!

1:42 am

grannyrose

oh my, dee. that was too close for comfort, dear. you would think the faulty furnace would have been picked up by the inspection.

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

I think I am going to ask hubby to check that out... I am curious more than anything, but isn't that one of the reasons we pay big $ for these inspections prior to purchase?

1:42 am

grannyrose

did the furnace guy say what exactly was wrong?

1:43 am

grannyrose

surely the kids have a copy of the report?

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

a part was faulty. The furnace is 12 years old and will take til mid Nov to get it here. The kids have opted to buy a new furnace, instead of investing in an old one.

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

They do and are going to look at it once they get back home.

1:44 am

grannyrose

if they can afford it, it is the best option.

1:47 am

VolleymomDee

Hopefully, the cost will be reasonable enough they can afford it. They are definitely putting in carbon monoxide detectors (the ones that were there did not work), and they will have their furnace checked before every winter.

1:48 am

VolleymomDee

Is Don going crazy with this project? It does sound huge!

1:51 am

grannyrose

dee, it is huge, and he won't allow me to hire anyone to help him. he has to completely gut the landry and kitchen, then plaster the walls and ceiling, and lay new flooring before i can even think of someone coming in to install the new fittings.

1:51 am

VolleymomDee

Wow! How long does he think all of that will take?

1:52 am

VolleymomDee

fireworks finally

1:54 am

grannyrose

WTG DEE!!!

1:54 am

grannyrose

well the bathroom took nearly 3 years....lol...

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

Thx, rose! Sure hope your laundry and kitchen don't take that long. Otherwise, you will go crazy.

1:55 am

grannyrose

i think this time he will be moving a little faster. no MIL to nag him while he is up a ladder...lol

1:55 am

VolleymomDee

lol

1:56 am

VolleymomDee

Well, need to get going; tomorrow is going to be a crazy day! Hugs to you!!

1:56 am

grannyrose

once he is up to dismantling the cupboards etc, i can help him. i am actually starting to feel a little excited.

1:56 am

VolleymomDee

Aww, fantastic!!!

1:57 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} dee. sweet dreams, and am so very glad the kids are okay.

1:58 am

VolleymomDee

Thanks so much, rose. I can't think about it too much, makes me almost sick to my stomach (and teary), so I am concentrating on the wonderful part!

1:58 am

VolleymomDee

XOXO TTFN!!!

3:40 am

grannyrose

pugs, i recently doubled my magnesium during the day. it makes such a difference. i am starting to get excited about the reno's.

3:41 am

puglet

thanks Rose. I got no ideal what is going on there--I went to my primary doctor thursday and my bp and Ac1 was great

3:41 am

puglet

I'm so happy for you Rose. I know its been along time coming

3:43 am

puglet

Has sprite been on yet?

3:44 am

grannyrose

we bought a really nifty thing yesterday. it's a drawer made out of steel, which goes under the w/machine. it is lockable, so i can store all my detergents etc safely. and it elevates the machine to a height where i don't have to grovel on the floor to see inside of.

3:44 am

grannyrose

no sprite yet, pugs :-( i hope she is okay.

3:44 am

puglet

we are having a blast of winter---stronge winds, rain with some snow flurries and down to 26

3:45 am

grannyrose

ditto here, pugs. we are having snow flurries further up the mountain. it is so weird. we had the aircon on yesterday.

3:45 am

puglet

sounds great Rose! I never heard of such a thing--you will have to post it

3:46 am

grannyrose

i will take pics, or rather don will and send them to you.

3:47 am

puglet

she sent me a email a few days ago and it didnt sound like things are going to great with her-----would loove that Rose

3:48 am

grannyrose

i hope she gets here before you go. she will be so disappointed.

3:49 am

puglet

yeah me too---I'm going to try making it on here on saturday mornings

3:49 am

grannyrose

apart from the disappointment of the delay of your surgery, how are you doing? dare i ask?? how is the new man in your life?

3:50 am

puglet

I'm feeling really well and he's great too--thanks

3:50 am

grannyrose

while he is at it, i will get don to take some pics of my roses. they have gone insane this year.

3:51 am

puglet

I got no ideal why I failed the ekg

3:51 am

puglet

oh wow Rose--I bet they are beautiful

3:55 am

grannyrose

the miniatures in the window baskets aren't in flower yet, but they are budding.

3:56 am

sprite

3:56 am

puglet

3:56 am

puglet

SPRITE!!!!!!!!!!!Hugs and Love

3:56 am

grannyrose

oh, and i had an email from worzel. he is going to make an effort to get here sometime this weekend.

3:57 am

sprite

*hugs pugs* My dear friend :) Soooo great to see you.

3:57 am

puglet

sooooo great to see you too

3:58 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} my darling sprite. have you had a good night?

3:58 am

puglet

Hope Wor is doing fine too

3:58 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Yeah it was ok. Not that many bad dreams. It really helps to be less stressed :D How have you been today?

3:58 am

grannyrose

he is busy reno-ing his new digs.

3:59 am

grannyrose

sprite, the doubling of the magnesium in the morning and again at 2pm is helping immensely.

3:59 am

sprite

and pugs, how are you feeling?

3:59 am

puglet

How are you doing with the new meds Sprite

4:00 am

sprite

am so glad, rose. Good thinking of yours.

4:00 am

puglet

I'm feeling really good Sprite--dont know why I failed the ekg

4:01 am

sprite

pugs, they are going pretty ok. The ones for my bladder work very well. Bowels not so much. And the new pain killers are great. Finally found the right dose for me and am happy with the results.

4:02 am

puglet

Rose I found the mag. here and I've been taking 1200 mg a day myself

4:02 am

grannyrose

oh, good, pugs. wtg hun. i am glad it has helped you.

4:03 am

puglet

I'm glad for you Sprite. I hope they find you help on the other

4:03 am

sprite

and, pugs? How do they work for you?

4:03 am

sprite

rose, shouldn't she be careful with the magnesium until she has seen the cardiologist?

4:04 am

puglet

seems to be working fine--but with this winter blast, my bones are aching all over--lol

4:04 am

grannyrose

sprite, when i spoke to my cardiologist, he was of the opinion that the magnesium i am taking, plus the infusions would not effect my heart.

4:04 am

sprite

*sends healing vibes to pug's bones*

4:05 am

sprite

ah, great, rose.

4:06 am

grannyrose

i think you need to take much bigger doses than this to affect the heart. ( but someone may correct me). i too was quite anxious about it. but specialist calmed my fears.

4:07 am

puglet

I was telling Rose, I went to my regular doctor thursday and my blood pressure was great and my A1C was 6 si akk was well there --He wants me to stop losing weight and I'm eating and not trying to lose

4:07 am

sprite

good, then all is fine. Am worried about your heart, pugs, will be glad once you have seen the specialist.

4:07 am

sprite

ah good, pugs, that sounds very good.

4:08 am

puglet

my spelling isnt so great here-lol Not use to this keyboard yet--sorry guys

4:09 am

sprite

you are doing fine, pugs. HOw amazing, that laptop gift! And if he comes at Xmas, and he can get your reader sorted out, please let me know! Will make sure you have enough to read :)

4:09 am

puglet

I go the 12th and will let you guys know as soon as I know---I'm going to say stress is the problem if anything

4:10 am

sprite

sounds very plausible to me. Is W staying away now>

4:10 am

puglet

will do Sprite-lol

4:11 am

puglet

he is---just had a couple of calls when he was hitting the bottle and I just hung up on him

4:12 am

grannyrose

good for you, pugs. my gosh that man has a nerve.

4:12 am

sprite

you are handling it all so well, pugs. Yay you! And I am with Rose. Someone should get his dingleberries kicked into his throat.

4:14 am

puglet

In a way I feel sorry for him and his illness but I can not help him no longer and I'm not letting it stand in my way of bettering things

4:15 am

sprite

you are amazing, pugs. Look how strong you have become! I love you to pieces and I admire you.

4:16 am

puglet

thanks and I love you guys too--We have all been through some trying things and here we still stand-lol

4:16 am

grannyrose

pugs, that is exactly how i felt about my ex. in the end i pitied him, but i couldn't help him.

4:16 am

sprite

annie! You are in the grid!

4:16 am

sprite

you cannot help people who are not helping themselves. It is simply impossible.

4:17 am

puglet

Here comes a New Year and I hope we all have a new beginning of hope and better things

4:17 am

sprite

amen to that

4:18 am

grannyrose

amen

4:19 am

puglet

Sprite, you need help with anything? Dont be afraid to ask---maybe one day we can sit and have tea in Rose's new kitchen--:)

4:19 am

sprite

jeez pugs, it has been so long! Makes it hard to know what to ask, lol. So many things I want to know. How is work going for you?

4:20 am

sprite

wouldn't that be awesome? I wish it was today :) And rose is helping me tremendously with solving the current stress in my life. If there is anything you can do, be sure I will let you know :) Having you as a friend is helping a lot already.

4:21 am

puglet

work is going great--my boss has been so supportive in everything--he offered me more hours but right now I have turned it down

4:21 am

grannyrose

if the ebola and isis crises settle, you and i pugs will be sitting in sprite's kitchen in less than a year.

4:21 am

sprite

Good thinking. The extra money would be nice, but you are overtaxed as it is already. Am so glad it is going well though!

4:22 am

sprite

oh man, I will be sooooo glad to see you two irl and hold you and hug you and show you around the netherlands... and spend a few days with just the 3 of us...

4:22 am

grannyrose

i hear what sprite is saying...but at the same tie, as a single person pugs does have to lay aside enough money to get through her recovery.

4:23 am

grannyrose

ugh..*time*

4:23 am

sprite

indeed, that is true.

4:24 am

puglet

sounds so gooooood! All I can do and will do is the best I can and leave it at that

4:24 am

puglet

you having a blast of winter too Sprite

4:24 am

sprite

that should be enough in any case, pugs.

4:26 am

sprite

not today, we are having a rare warm late autumn day. Temps up to 20 degrees celcius this weekend. But earlier, yes we did. Cold!

4:26 am

grannyrose

pugs, how is the sister doing? did you solve the question of why her bsl's were so high?

4:26 am

puglet

I cant believe that the holidays are upon us again

4:27 am

sprite

*erases question about pug's sister*

4:27 am

puglet

she's doing better now---I dont knowwhat happen there Rose, unless she is overeating while I'm at work

4:28 am

grannyrose

*giggle* sister of my soul..

4:28 am

sprite

:D

4:28 am

sprite

am glad she is doing better.

4:29 am

puglet

I wrote Joso but havent heard from him---have you guys? and how is our other babble friends? Anything going on that I've missed out on?

4:29 am

grannyrose

she is very naughty if she is, pugs.

4:30 am

grannyrose

oh, and chrissiedee said to tell you she is praying for you.

4:31 am

sprite

crossy is well, his love is having a scan soon, zooz is holding up very well

4:31 am

puglet

Yes she is--our last visit to her doctor was good--she had lost a few pounds and sugar was fine so its something she was doing without me knowing

4:31 am

sprite

not easy, pugs :(

4:32 am

grannyrose

i emailed joso at his halloween. didn't hear back from him.

4:32 am

puglet

What is the scan for on Crossy's wife and did he get his neck looked at yet

4:34 am

sprite

booh lee has been nasty again towards rose :( But less said about it, the better.

4:35 am

grannyrose

dinner on the way. xoxox catch you later if you are still here. {{hugs}}

4:35 am

puglet

Has my friend OO been on? I worry about him and Ru,flosey and dee doing okay too

4:35 am

sprite

enjoy, my dear rose *hugs*

4:35 am

puglet

hugs and enjoy Rose

4:35 am

sprite

haven' seen him in a while, pugs. Ru has been good. Have not seen dee or flosey for a while

4:36 am

puglet

Poor Rose---drama seems to love her-lol

4:36 am

sprite

too true. Has she told you about her doctor?

4:37 am

puglet

not sure---she wrote me some about her drama with her work

4:38 am

sprite

her pain management doctor, who was on holidays, has suddenly died.

4:38 am

puglet

how are things in your family Sprite? And Ive been worried about you too---Last week you kept coming to my mind

4:39 am

puglet

is he the one that was away with his poor wife

4:39 am

sprite

yeah, I wrote back to you to tell you about my stress stuff. But things are way better now. You are so sensitive, pugs, it is wonderful. You seem to know when I am not feeling very chipper :)

4:39 am

sprite

yes, that is the one.

4:40 am

puglet

she told me and so sad---how awful for his wife to be in such a way

4:41 am

sprite

Yes, aweful. And also terrible that rose is without pain management doctor again, and has to find someone who will give her the treatment doctor Tim set out for her.

4:42 am

puglet

I'm so glad Sprite----I know all isnt hunky-dorey for you either----I miss you all so much--but know I care about you all and think of you guys even though I'm not always here

4:42 am

puglet

has she had any luck yet?

4:43 am

sprite

we know, dear one, we know. We stay connected even if we cannot speak often anymore.

4:43 am

sprite

yes, she may have found another doctor. One that is openminded and willing to really listen.
And end of november she will hear from dr Tim's office.

4:45 am

puglet

thats real good for Rose then--I will hold her in prayers that all goes well--------what caused you to have such pain Sprite? stress?

4:46 am

puglet

I have to go help my friend Carol today to do some work. They are coming to pick me up. She is not doing so well either. She cant get her sugar down and her copd is bad too

4:47 am

sprite

yes, lots of stress. And the new pain meds are for the nerve pain in my feet, they replace meds I already had. So nothing really new there. Seems these meds work better.

4:48 am

puglet

I hope they continue too for your sake Sprite. I wish I could take away those bad dreams for you and poor Zoom too---I know he has those too

4:49 am

sprite

bad dreams are nasty. But I am used to having them, so don't worry. Yeah, poor zooz.

4:50 am

4:54 am

rubyfoo

Halloween was a huge success! I decorated the house which looks a little scary from the street. But I put candles and ghosts in the windows and the most children came since we'v been here.

4:55 am

rubyfoo

They are the sweetest. one little girl gave me kisses and hugs and they all say "merci" and "Bon soir, Madame" (or in a little bit of English)

4:55 am

puglet

Ruby, I was to have a hernia operation on the 29th and due to me not passing my ekg they has postponed it until I get a okay from the heart doctor

4:55 am

sprite

what a lovely activity, ruby. Yay for you.

5:06 am

grannyrose

many years ago he made a solemn oath. he would not sw5, drink alcohol to excess, or give in to loose women. apart from the last he is holding firm...but he married me...so the loose women part flew out of the window....lol

5:06 am

grannyrose

xoxox pugs, so lovely to see you, dear.

5:07 am

sprite

very good oath. And as long as you are the only loose woman in his life, all is well, lolll

5:12 am

grannyrose

sprite, the other day...i realised just how much i love this man. i was sitting waiting for him to come out of the supermarket. when i saw him, my heart gave such a flip of joy...and this after 10 years.

5:14 am

sprite

oh ikr! I have the same with my love. About 20 years together and still in love.

5:14 am

sprite

am so glad you found love!

5:15 am

grannyrose

yeah...i know we are official for the last 10-12 years. but i have known him for over 30 years...and way back when...i think i loved him...of course i was true to my first...but still..

5:18 am

grannyrose

i have seen photos of him as a much younger man, and he has seen photos of me....and we both go....wow!!. it makes you wonder doesn't it? if we had met all those years ago...would we have...??

5:18 am

sprite

yeah, the heart knows no morals. It loves what it loves.

5:18 am

sprite

the road not taken, rose. We just don't know. We made the choices we had to make at the time.

5:19 am

grannyrose

*sigh* yeah i know. but we are together now and supremely happy.

5:20 am

sprite

and you may not have been, had you not learned all those important things you learned through your bad marriage and all. No way to tell.

5:20 am

grannyrose

too true, sprite.

5:21 am

sprite

can't wait to meet THE man in your life :D

5:23 am

grannyrose

MLFAN17

i love snow

6:56 am

MLFAN17

we had or have rain this am

6:57 am

sukee

They said wet snow, maybe. I'm not ready for snow.

6:57 am

Lizlin

I like looking at snow and walking in it when it's new and crunchy but not otherwise - especially not driving in it. Thank goodness, we don't get snow here.

6:58 am

sukee

Can I move in with you?

6:58 am

7:00 am

Lizlin

I had the da word - wouldn't have thought to put eu before it.

7:00 am

mattygroves

That ah5 is eluding me, as is the ae7 (probably fish like, but still....)

7:01 am

Lizlin

the ae 7 relates to the ae 4 before it.

7:01 am

Lizlin

The ah 5 is before you - that's a clue!

7:01 am

grannyrose

mlf eu + most of not mom + 2nd vowel + ***th, a 12th of a year

7:01 am

mattygroves

* smack *

7:01 am

Lizlin

the ae 7 is similar to the eo 6

7:01 am

Lizlin

lol matty

7:02 am

MLFAN17

7:02 am

Lizlin

Both are time related

7:07 am

MLFAN17

Lizlin

Haven't seen Cos in ages

7:07 am

7:10 am

grannyrose

7:11 am

MLFAN17

does the 9 extend from the 7?

7:12 am

Lizlin

It extends from the ne 4

7:12 am

Lizlin

The ne 7 is a different word meaning the same thing

7:12 am

I'm struggling to reach half!

7:26 am

rubyfoo

And today is a holiday here, so no newspaper

7:27 am

22 left here - not an easy grid and I'm not seeing much more right now. Will probably leave them until tomorrow.

What holiday is it?

All saints' or all souls', I'm never sure

Oh yes, day after Halloween

7:28 am

And I DO'T KNOW A SINGLE fR PERSO WHO GOES TO MASS!

7:28 am

josephjames

all saints

7:28 am

sukee

:)

7:29 am

Buggie

today isn't about mass, it's about visiting your relatives graves

7:29 am

rubyfoo

sorry, didn't mean to shout. It's that errant pinkie AGAIN

7:29 am

MLFAN17

oh is that what it means?

7:29 am

rubyfoo

And they do a wonderful job in our local cemetery of decorating the graves. It is a lovely custom

7:30 am

crosshair

howdy mlf, liz, ruby...sorry, I was drifting around the internet:)

7:31 am

rubyfoo

{{CROSSY}} IS T A QUESTION OF GRAVITY?

7:31 am

Buggie

but yes, there are very few French who still go to mass, except the intolerent extremists who make the news with their protests...

7:31 am

rubyfoo

our local church has closed. The priest got sick and wasn't replaced.

7:31 am

MLFAN17

Buggie protests during this holiday?

7:32 am

crosshair

it is a question of my 4 second attention span:)

7:32 am

Buggie

No, protests against gay marriage, IVF and such and abortion

7:33 am

MLFAN17

ohh

7:33 am

rubyfoo

it's crazy because the Fr invented the "morning after pill"

7:35 am

Buggie

well, they only have so much attention because the media need to stir things to get people to watch. The extremists claim several million showed up to protest, the police only count around 50 thousand. They're a small but very vocal (and rather rich, money helps...) minority

7:38 am

crosshair

reason #514 that I got rid of cable tv:) got tired of the talking heads and the media spin on the facts

7:39 am

Buggie

I don't even own a TV :)

7:39 am

crosshair

you are wise, buggie

7:40 am

crosshair

best thing to do is get the three biggest competing newspapers in your area, and if they all agree on a story, then you can take it at face value

7:40 am

sukee

Lots of them would be happy to get rid of birth control completely, can't let women have any freedom can we?

7:41 am

crosshair

there is actually a group protesting birth control???!

7:42 am

josephjames

the catholics think procreation is the purpose of marriage

7:42 am

sukee

Not really, but it is underlying in the arguments. And look at the names women who wanted birth control to be covered under their insurance were called in the US.

7:42 am

rubyfoo

They will probably repeal Roe v. Wade in the US; it is all those awful retrograde politicians (who are all probably fooling around with their aides)

7:42 am

sukee

Thankfully, we are saner in Canada.

7:42 am

crosshair

I like to think so:)

7:42 am

rubyfoo

and I'm to old

7:43 am

josephjames

well, the official ones. most practicing catholics are fine with birth control

7:43 am

sukee

Most people are fine with birth control :)

7:43 am

crosshair

ahh yes, the old "every sperm is sacred" thing

7:43 am

rubyfoo

My generation fought so hard for women's rights!

7:44 am

MollyL

Yes Ruby, women's rights have come a long way in the US. Not sure why it's "saner in Canada" but whatever.

7:44 am

Buggie

I think the current outpouring of hatred is probably a good sign. It's like a pimple. You pop it and gunk goes everywhere, but then you wipe it off and it can finally heal...

7:44 am

sukee

Even our conservative PM is in favor of giving women the choice.

7:45 am

crosshair

good analogy, buggie:)

7:45 am

rubyfoo

I think it was always possible, in the US, for women with money to get safe abortions.

7:45 am

rubyfoo

It was all the other women who had to suffer

7:45 am

josephjames

"with money" being the key phrase

7:46 am

sukee

As always.

7:46 am

josephjames

does anyone have the left i words?

LuvWordGames

id 4/5 and id 5/12

7:50 am

sukee

Cat must be feeling better, he bit me when I offered him something that he didn't want :)

7:50 am

sukee

Just a nip.

7:50 am

josephjames

how about the bottom n?

7:51 am

Buggie

my cat is so cute, when I offer him something he doesn't like, he screws up his face. So I often offer him things he doesn't like just to see him do that

7:51 am

sukee

Rhymes with something you do to make your hair wavy

7:52 am

josephjames

i'm glad i'm not your cat that's mean

7:52 am

josephjames

lol

7:52 am

sukee

If I put something in a bowl that the cat does not want, he scratches the side of the floor like he is covering up something in the litter box.

7:52 am

josephjames

thanks sukee

7:53 am

crosshair

try to give our cats something they do not like and they will pout and not eat for the rest of the day just to lay a guilt trip on us

7:53 am

Buggie

Oh a little hardship builds character ;-)

7:54 am

crosshair

I know... our training continues...

7:54 am

josephjames

crosshair

yes.. that was for the 9

7:56 am

Scrabbler

I met a mother, with her newborn, in the office on Thursday, spoke about pets in the home, and learned she doesn't want this bunny and was planning to release him into the woods.

7:56 am

sukee

ok, I have the 7, will work on it

7:57 am

72 Temple Owl

it is exciting to get a new per.

7:57 am

crosshair

well, that will be a good intervention, scrabby. that house-bunny would stand little chance

7:57 am

72 Temple Owl

and good day, etc to all

7:57 am

Scrabbler

Hi Owl

7:58 am

72 Temple Owl

hello, scrabbler.

7:58 am

I am happy about the orphan bunny, scrabs, I thought you would adopt him

7:58 am

Last night was lovely with the local kids. I guess the word got out that the "scary" house with the big dogs also had treats. The most kids, ever, came and they were adorable, gave me hugs and pats and kisses

There is a senior's center attached to the place I work out and staff and residents were dressed up. One department dressup up as the cast of Peanuts, with papier machete heads, one guy was blind so his guide dog was dressed up as Snoopy.

8:01 am

take you small joys and fill them with light so they shine so very bright:)

8:02 am

Scrabbler

Cute, Sukee

8:02 am

rubyfoo

I needed that! The first few years, very few children came, but I guess my reputation grows

8:02 am

I love th idea of the Snoopy guide dog. If you used a chow as a guide dog, it would be ""curtains"

8:02 am

crosshair

8:03 am

Scrabbler

Could you regularly make cookies for the neighborhood kids, ruby?

8:03 am

rubyfoo

They are too big to fit in my clothes

8:08 am

it worked well with our two kitties. they like to try and escape into the hall anyways, so when we knew there were a bunch of kids in the foyer getting candy, we would release them and all you saw was two black spiders running into this crowd of squealing kids

8:08 am

Buggie

The French are getting taller, I used to be a giant at 1m86, now I'm just tall

8:08 am

MLFAN17

my husband keeps complaining why we have to cheat time

8:09 am

Scrabbler

Time is an illusion anyway.

8:09 am

sukee

I wish they would change the time and then leave it, not necessary anymore.

8:09 am

8:42 am

crosshair

I hear of people cooking on stone slabs in standard electric range, though i have never tried it myself

8:43 am

11:29 am

MollyL

Oh gee, anything I cleaned today would need cleaning again in two weeks.

11:30 am

MollyL

MollyL

That's great. Don't throw out your warm clothes.

no, Nan, do not have those dang things.

1:16 pm

we had 20 -- a record for us

1:18 pm

crosshair

years ago we lived in a town-house community and 200+ was not an uncommon total

1:18 pm

rbud

wow, crossy! we're up a dead end block at home, have never had much Halloween traffic. No one else on the block, so they don't think it's worth the trip. But that one kid last night got LOTS from me, lol - didn't want to keep it all!

1:19 pm

cybernan

yes - I remember those days -- when we first moved to Mtl.

1:19 pm

crosshair

For those who endure and make the perilous journey, riches await! lol

1:20 pm

hego

I used to run out of candy and start giving out pennies.

1:20 pm

cybernan

We have always handed out full size chocolate bars because it was only the kids on the street that came (around 8 or 9), but this year they brought their friends and relatives

1:20 pm

rbud

yes, he scored, and it didn't look like he'd done so well elsewhere, so he was yanking the mask aside and goggling when I told him to grab a big handful, lol

1:21 pm

hego

sometimes I'd steal some of my kids stuff to give out.

1:21 pm

crosshair

:)

1:22 pm

crosshair

we used to pre-make baggies with a like total of candies in each, no chips or chocolate bars as it was too expensive for that number of kids. They go 8 or 9 candies so they could not complain

Winter is a truly horrid season

3:56 pm

harpjane

I like the Season pushing, since I am a musician. I have been practicing Christmas music for a few weeks now. I feel right at home in a fabric shop, even though I don't sew, because they are always looking ahead to the next season.....

There's a lot of cute kitties needing homes at the humane shelter...several halloween black cats...good luck for us witches

5:47 pm

harpjane

My sister had kittens to give away in October a few years ago. The local animal shelter saw her ad and called to remind her to be careful who she gave them to.

5:49 pm

Jillyjill

Yah, I posted about that. Some shelters won't adopt out black cats at halloween.

5:51 pm

Jillyjill

We had a weird happening here our first or second year. A black kitty ran in the front door and into the back family room. Due to that danger, I elected to keep it until after halloween, then look for it's owners. During the night it disappeared...of course one might think it snuck out, but no one admitted to letting it out...

5:52 pm

crosshair

we dressed our two black kitties up as spiders last night:)

5:52 pm

crosshair

the kids loved it!

5:52 pm

Jillyjill

LOL..great fun!
