1:20 am

sprite

nope, still asleep

1:21 am

grannyrose

* giggle * squirt bottle ready?

1:21 am

grannyrose

lift up sheet, and aim....

1:21 am

sprite

*grins* I LOVE the idea!

1:22 am

grannyrose

make sure it's warm of course....make him think that he has ahem, had an accident?

1:22 am

sprite

1:25 am

grannyrose

good, i made my spitey laugh and smile. my job is done.

1:26 am

grannyrose

oh dear... that should be spritey... lol... maybe a faux pas???

1:27 am

sprite

lol... call me spritzy

1:27 am

grannyrose

okay. i need to sh4 up now before that hole gets too deep.

1:27 am

sprite

:D

1:29 am

grannyrose

today we were talking about the play that Caya and her fellow students put on when we were over. really lovely memory of a wonderful time.

1:29 am

sprite

I hate it when there is fighting. But if I let him walk all over me like this, it will not end well. Have to stand up for myself.

1:30 am

sprite

wasn't it just! Such a great time, and such a blessing to share it with you guys

1:31 am

grannyrose

i know honey, and just when everything seemed to be going so well. maybe begin the conversation with " did something happen yesterday that made you (Rob) react like that? "

1:32 am

sprite

hmmmmmm yeah that should be very good, to start like that. Am way too mad for it, though.

1:35 am

grannyrose

i understand darling. let yourself cool off before tackling him. one of you has to stay cool and calm. yes i know. why is it always you? because we are the ones who like to understand the background stuff. men just let it ride, then bring it up out of the blue.

1:36 am

sprite

so true. Sometimes it maddens me that I always have to be the understanding one.

1:37 am

grannyrose

it's what we do, honey. keep the peace.

1:37 am

grannyrose

it's in the fine print, on the bottom of our wedding certificates.

1:37 am

sprite

*in a very growly voice: Welllll NOT today, Satan!*

1:38 am

grannyrose

spriiite. settle petal. go out and hit a tree.

1:39 am

grannyrose

and if he bothers to ask why, tell him it's the tree or him... then take pics. i want to see his face.

1:39 am

sprite

poor tree. Never did me no harm. Can't I hit the nasty man?

1:40 am

grannyrose

you can only hit him with a wet tissue.

1:40 am

sprite

he will go like: Is something the matter? Like nothing happened. I HATE that. Grrrrrrr. Let me take that tree and hit himself over the head with it.

1:40 am

sprite

but wet tissues are made of trees.... please mum, can I?

1:41 am

grannyrose

NOOOOOO

1:41 am

sprite

okay.... *hmphfffff*

1:41 am

sprite

well, enough about that. How are you and the Donster doing?

1:41 am

grannyrose

uncross those arms please

1:43 am

grannyrose

we are going from strength to strength. went to brother's place and picked up the albums and lots of random pics. some of relations who i am going to have a hard time naming.

1:44 am

sprite

oh how awesome! I am so glad you finally got them. How precious.

1:44 am

grannyrose

strange. the sister-in-law was absent. simply had to go out shopping. so i am still unsure as to what is going on her head.

1:45 am

sprite

rather cowardy. Ah well. Nothing lost there.

1:47 am

grannyrose

nope. we are having lunch with another of my brothers tomorrow week. will talk to him and see if he has had a chance to dip into them. there is a whole envelop full of pics of his 21st.

1:48 am

sprite

beyond precious. You will have such a grand time looking at them together!

1:49 am

grannyrose

i hope so too. then after that i will share with my kids. Simon in particular is very interested in the family tree.

1:50 am

sprite

lots of copies to be made!

1:51 am

sprite

fireflies :)

1:51 am

grannyrose

found a heap of pics of my ex, his brother, and me. the boys might like them.

1:52 am

grannyrose

are you talking to your sister nowadays?

1:52 am

sprite

yeah, no need to copy those, lol, let them have them.

1:53 am

sprite

nope. She has cut me off completely. She promised me photo albums but never gave them, so I don't know. Who knows, some day. For now, it is silent on the sister front.

1:54 am

sprite

I have to admit, I like the lack of drama. SHe is always high drama and it is rather peaceful without it.

1:54 am

grannyrose

too sad darling. i know you don't need the angst which she would bring. maybe when she starts getting older then realises heck, i miss Cass.

1:57 am

sprite

who knows. At least I got my loving big sister Rose, who is always there for me. *hugs* my darling. Sleep well tonight. Love you heaps.

1:57 am

grannyrose

love you too sweetheart. * hugs *

9:32 am

rururocks

9:33 am

rururocks

yeah.. she cared about dogs and the homeless and the hungry.. she was very benevolent

9:33 am

rururocks

countless hours driving dogs to their new homes.

9:33 am

rururocks

collecting food for pantries and giveaways

9:40 am

BzznBea

We are bringing Quincy home tomorrow. It will be an emotional day.

9:41 am

rururocks

oh yeah.. it only hurts for a day, then you'll be glad he's near you. It comforts me to have all my dogs with me

9:42 am

BzznBea

Our Emma has been with daughter since she passed. We are bringing her home as well.

9:44 am

rururocks

I guess we all handle it differently, but I like them being with me. When I pass my ashes will be mixed with all my dogs and spread on the open ocean

9:48 am

BzznBea

I that that brings you great comfort.

9:48 am

BzznBea

i know that brings you great comfort.

9:49 am

rururocks

i've loved all my dogs but two of them really got deep in my heart.

9:51 am

rururocks

so I completely understand how you two feel right now

9:55 am

hokie carla

howdy folks

9:56 am

marksdolly

hi Hokie :)

9:56 am

BzznBea

Hey, Carla.

9:56 am

rururocks

hi hookie

9:56 am

hokie carla

lol

9:56 am

rururocks

how's winston doing in recovery

9:56 am

hokie carla

eating every stick he can find before I can stop him, so I think fine

9:57 am

hokie carla

or he's just dumb

9:57 am

BzznBea

Silly boy. lol

9:57 am

hokie carla

I give him his meds with cheese or PB so he thinks it's the best day ever

9:57 am

rururocks

was one of his parents a beaver?

9:58 am

hokie carla

I've always thought maybe a goat

9:58 am

hokie carla

because he'll eat anything (except raw fruits and veggies)

9:58 am

rururocks

sounds like your husband

9:59 am

hokie carla

he likes paper too, so maybe beaver is closer with the wood stuff

9:59 am

BzznBea

Quincy loved banana and blueberries.

9:59 am

rururocks

oh god Dylan loved shredding paper

9:59 am

hokie carla

winston will eat a bit of banana sometimes and others he won't. usually if I give him fruit I find it later under the table.

9:59 am

rururocks

all dogs love bananas

10:00 am

hokie carla

same for babies. he definitely doesn't love them though.

10:02 am

hokie carla

phantom nectar

10:02 am

rururocks

I don't know what it is but I buy bananas to eat for the Potassium and then they just rot and I don't eat them.

10:02 am

bichon

Marco loves peppers

10:03 am

hokie carla

google that - there are fruits and veggies with more potassium that you might eat more of, ruru

10:03 am

hokie carla

winston is like me, he would eat raw peppers if it had something like ranch on it

10:04 am

hokie carla

why do A's always cause me such problems?

10:04 am

rururocks

this grid is frustrating too again today

10:04 am

marksdolly

tada!!

10:04 am

hokie carla

well, it started out good with me almost graying that first N, but quickly got frustrating.

10:06 am

rururocks

10:06 am

hokie carla

winston ate like $100 in 20s once

10:07 am

rururocks

not your back seat driver's license though

10:07 am

hokie carla

you don't need a license for that!

10:07 am

origami

Ha!

10:09 am

rururocks

dylan did that too hookie.. a wallet full of twenties in tiny pieces on the floor

10:10 am

hokie carla

10:11 am

rururocks

6:30 pm

hurshy

anyone here familiar with an 80s British detective show called Bergerac (set on the island of Jersey)?

6:35 pm

hokie carla

not me

6:35 pm

moolingwa

Cyrano de Bergerac

6:36 pm

hokie carla

well that I'm familiar with. MOOO

6:36 pm

moolingwa

I'm not really here

6:36 pm

hokie carla

I was never here, no one saw me

6:39 pm

hurshy

that's one of the weirdest things about the show Bergerac, this dude is Jim Bergerac and NOBODY he meets makes a Cyrano joke/comment

6:39 pm

hokie carla

yeah, that's odd

6:39 pm

hurshy

which is the first thing most of us would think of

6:45 pm

moolingwa

I vaguely remember it, but didn't really watch it

6:46 pm

hurshy

well, John Nettles is the star, and he was later the first detective in Midsomer Murders. i didn't really like him in that, i like the new guy much better. but i like Nettles much better as Bergerac.

6:51 pm

moolingwa

10 degrees here right now

6:52 pm

hurshy

brrr

6:52 pm

dan2bit

hokie carla

6:54 pm

hokie carla

not too bad here, my sidewalk at the front porch just has a little bit of ice left

6:54 pm

moolingwa

we got about 3-4 inches last night

6:54 pm

moolingwa

projected high of 12 on Monday

6:55 pm

hurshy

that's very chilly

6:55 pm

hokie carla

we had rain this morning and still had a bunch of the back yard covered in snow

6:55 pm

hokie carla

supposed to be real cold here too next week

6:55 pm

moolingwa

it'll be a balmy 22 tomorrow :)

6:56 pm

hokie carla

43 right now, this is the warmest day we've had since the snow/sleet last Fri.

6:56 pm

hokie carla

I mean Fri before yesterday

6:58 pm

moolingwa

yeah, looks like we'll have one day above 40 in the next 10 days...

6:59 pm

hokie carla

supposed to hit 53 tomorrow and then 3 days of high of 35 and then lows in the teens

7:09 pm

hokie carla

well, decided to list for last 24 and still have 11 so I think I'll just quit

7:15 pm

moolingwa

40 to go here

7:21 pm

hokie carla

but you're not here, got it?

7:23 pm

moolingwa

31 left, and yeah...not really here

7:25 pm

hokie carla

can't tell if I'm taking a cold (as we say in appalachia and I learned later is not what other people say)

7:25 pm

hokie carla

how's your plague?

7:25 pm

moolingwa

aww...hope not

7:25 pm

moolingwa

my plague is abating, but if I don't chain lozenges then I'll break into a death spiral of coughing

7:26 pm

72 Temple Owl
