hokie carla

8:18 am

hurshy

anne of green gables agreed with you on that mael - her birthday was in february but she at least once celebrated it later because she said if it had been up to her she'd have been born in the spring

8:20 am

saanichcat

my fun rule for birthdays is the older you are, the longer you get to celebrate. I'm up to about three weeks now.

8:20 am

hurshy

lol

8:21 am

mael

excellent plan saanich

8:21 am

hokie carla

I made mr. homie go to disney and we were gone for 11 days

8:22 am

mael

my husband is away on a conference and my kids are little so they forgot, but I think chilling out and hopefully gardening is going to be my treat for the day

8:23 am

hurshy

i wish gardening were my idea of a treat

8:23 am

hurshy

rather than, say, ice cream cake

8:23 am

saanichcat

that sounds perfect mael

8:23 am

hokie carla

lol

8:24 am

hokie carla

hmm, no copay

8:25 am

hurshy

co-pay ? probably officially

8:26 am

hokie carla

yep, hyphen was prob dropped after 2000

8:26 am

hurshy

lazy-ass americans can't even be bothered to type a hyphen

8:27 am

hokie carla

email

8:27 am

hokie carla

I don't mind typing it on a computer but symbols can be a pain on my phone

8:28 am

hokie carla

esp. because I can't tell the difference between , and ' without my glasses on my phone

8:28 am

hurshy

i get a daily email news summary from the NYT and its top headline today was "Ukraine's New Hope"

8:29 am

hurshy

i immediately picture Luke Skywalker battling Putin

8:29 am

hokie carla

8:29 am

hokie carla

8:35 am

hokie carla

8:42 am

mael

8:43 am

hokie carla

hmm

8:43 am

hurshy

oh thanks hokie! i have sooo many other words that rhyme with that but didn't think of the ph

8:43 am

ChampFit

I have 4 other words with that ending, carla.

8:43 am

hokie carla

are you counting the set as 2 words, champ?

8:43 am

mael

8:43 am

ChampFit

No.

8:44 am

ChampFit

I wasn't counting any plurals.

8:44 am

hokie carla

8:45 am

mael

I always forget where to put the other H in that word, hokie

8:45 am

hokie carla

I had never seen that word before

8:45 am

ChampFit

Me either! Or if I did, I blocked it. :)

8:46 am

mael

I know it from italian, it's just spelled with an F instead

8:46 am

hurshy

well, gtg, 20 left for later

8:52 am

ChampFit

8:53 am

hokie carla

lol, just got that and was about to post, nope one more.

8:53 am

hokie carla

so that's 6 different starting letters

8:53 am

ChampFit

No idea why I even tried it, but it worked!

8:54 am

hokie carla

I think I tried it because I still need F's

HI folks

9:16 am

MollyL

Hi Rukes

9:17 am

MollyL

That sh7 and the neckwear word are some weird ass spellings

9:19 am

MollyL

And speaking of Ruby, her holiday roast is in the grid today.

9:22 am

rururocks

I miss Ruby

9:22 am

bichon

me too

9:22 am

MollyL

She was a one of a kind woman

9:28 am

rururocks

our own little fugitive :D

10:00 am

SamanthaJoy

Honestly what I remember most about her is that she called nearly everyone in her life stupid. Her maid was stupid, her daughter in law was stupid, her son had caught the stupidity from her daughter in law, a random person she ran into on the street was stupid . . . It was her favorite adjective.

10:01 am

SamanthaJoy

And that she absolutely hated Sprite for no reason I could ever discern

10:07 am

hokie carla

LOL, I don't remember much about her, just that she was an american living in france.

10:08 am

lynxxx

from memory Sprite visited France and showed kindness to her husband

10:08 am

SamanthaJoy

And she had chows

10:08 am

hokie carla

I was thinking pugs or some kind of bulldog

10:08 am

SamanthaJoy

. . . . Is that *why* ruby didn't like her, or was there something else?

10:09 am

hokie carla

lyn, when you say "kindness to her husband" are you saying she flirted or more?

10:09 am

SamanthaJoy

I'm pretty certain it was chows

10:10 am

lynxxx

oh no Sprite would not do that I am sure, she is just a kind person.....perhaps just walking into a household that had a lot of 'issues' perhaps...they were both eldery. Def it was chows

10:11 am

hokie carla

I didn't think so either :D

10:11 am

lynxxx

Eldery and set in their ways perhaps?

10:11 am

SamanthaJoy

RIGHT. Kindness I can see, but flirting? SPRITE?

NO, just no.

10:14 am

SamanthaJoy

But I can also see ruby holding it against her; I saw some one in here say that someone ruby was mad at didn't do anything wrong, and the vitriol that brought out was pretty impressive. Impressively toxic.

10:17 am

lynxxx

Elderly - and perhaps she had medical issues we were not aware of - chronic pain or illness can cause uncalled for nastiness.

10:18 am

SamanthaJoy

That's what I always assumed honestly.

10:19 am

hokie carla

well, I just couldn't figure out why you would hold kindness against someone

10:20 am

SamanthaJoy

If kindness rose to the level of defending that someone, yeah, that's a thing I've seen ruby do.

10:21 am

origami

There's a lot more to the RubySprite story than was revealed here. I don't think we should draw conclusions from online chat.

10:21 am

SamanthaJoy

There almost has to be more to it.

10:22 am

MollyL

There is more to it and that was between Ruby and Sprite and whoever they chose to share it with.

10:24 am

SamanthaJoy

I never really cared enough to ask; I just noted that bringing up Certain People in front of other Certain People would cause unnecessary drama, so generally I didn't do that.

10:25 am

MollyL

I never found Ruby to be "toxic"

10:27 am

SamanthaJoy

She was, occasionally. It wasn't an every day thing. But sometimes everyone in the world who wasn't her was a stupid moron who couldn't manage to do anything right.

10:28 am

SamanthaJoy

And I've typed "console" three times and still can't quite believe that it's not a word today.

10:37 am

rururocks

I think the drama was around Sprite wanting to come to Ruby's when GrannyRose was visiting with her husband Don. Ruby asked her not to come as it was too much for her, and Sprite was insisting on coming anyway.

10:38 am

SamanthaJoy

Maybe? All I'm sure of is that it was *so* dramatic that I avoided chat when they were here at the same time.

I miss Sprite.

10:55 am

MollyL

Maybe we can move onto something else and stop speaking ill of the dead.

10:55 am

SamanthaJoy

Feel free to change the subject to anything you like, dear

11:26 am

Christa

Good Morning

11:27 am

SamanthaJoy

Good morning Christa. How you doin' today?

11:28 am

Christa

add some coffee & I am doing good. How are you?

11:29 am

SamanthaJoy

Recovering from a virus. I've barely been outside in a week. But the coughing and sneezing has died down to manageable levels, and it was never *very* bad

11:32 am

SamanthaJoy

I've got 80 words left and I'm considering being done for the day. I've got backlogs of laundry to fold and a presentation tonight to prepare.

11:50 am

11:51 am

Well, that gives me something other than "console" to type repeatedly! lol

need a clue please, ha5,12 after laughter and before the leaping bunny

11:59 am

4:40 pm

hurshy

4:41 pm

5:19 pm

hokie carla
