1:25 am
sprite

1:25 am
grannyrose

but other than that, pain free mostly, not a lot of itching.
1:26 am
dcseain

oof. that’s hard.
1:26 am
dcseain

that much is good, no pain nor itiching is nice.
1:26 am
sprite

I just heard the daughter of a friend has breast cancer stage 3, and it's in her lymph system too. That's what happened to Jom. I hope it's not the same, we lost Jom in just a few months.
1:27 am
grannyrose

my wound is about a third it was day one post op.
1:27 am
sprite

glad your wound is healing properly though
1:27 am
grannyrose

aww darling sprite. that is hard to bear.
1:27 am
sprite

will call her a little later this morning, see if I can offer any support
1:29 am
grannyrose

please tell her, if she has doubts about going on with treatment, to grab each opportunity with both hands, no matter what. keep on fighting !!
1:30 am
sprite

as far as I know her daughter, she will. I'll try and support my friend through this.
1:30 am
dcseain

Does anyone else have a cat that tries to eat their prescription pills?
1:30 am
grannyrose

i so regret not saying that to Robyn. every day, i know it was her decision... but i regret not saying it.
1:30 am
sprite

it's a cat. The pills are yours. Duh.
1:31 am

dcseain

she’s especially interest in the atorvastatin
1:32 am
grannyrose

that's weird seain.
1:32 am
dcseain

i thought so too. This past July marked 50 years living with cats. First i’ve ever seen do that.
1:33 am
dcseain

i did rescue a tiny starving her from the wild cats around 14323 Ferndale Rd in Dale City, Viriginia, US.
1:34 am
grannyrose

what a blessing you are seain
1:34 am
dcseain

wilded house cats i should say, not actual mountain liens.
1:36 am
grannyrose

they can be just as fierce seain. i tips me 'at, mate
1:37 am

dcseain

Ps pummeled.
1:42 am
grannyrose

you haven't posted in a while. or have i missed them? how are the 'new' digs?
1:43 am
dcseain

i’ve been here 9mos. and ihave posted a bit less in recent months.
1:44 am
dcseain

british jail in the grid.
1:45 am
grannyrose

ikr? and i missed it for goodness sake!
1:46 am
grannyrose

how on earth did you find the py ?
1:46 am
dcseain

and i love my oddly spacious 1940 apartment with the minisplits, no dishwasher nor gargbage disposal.
1:46 am
dcseain

reading lots of old books.
1:46 am
grannyrose

and if you say you use it all the time, i'm coming over to beat you with a wet tissue.
1:47 am
grannyrose

that's weird seain. lovable weird though.
1:48 am
dcseain

The solid ‘land’ directly opposite is a rock off the coast of Perth, WA
1:48 am
sprite

the py wasn't too hard. The last co8 was a lady dog to find, for me anyway
1:49 am
grannyrose

i agree sprite. not a form of co6 i would use freely
1:50 am
sprite

1:51 am
grannyrose

1:51 am

1:51 am
sprite

1:52 am
dcseain

there are lovely rivrside cottages to rent in a park about an hour from where i live.
1:52 am
dcseain

oops
1:52 am
grannyrose

very tempting seain, but i need to get there first..lol
1:53 am
grannyrose

all good seain. i have filled the PB with wine and choclits.
1:53 am
dcseain

how lovely.
1:55 am
grannyrose

liqueur filled choclits okay?
1:56 am
dcseain

always! among my faves.
1:57 am
grannyrose

my hubby once ate a whole box of cherry liqueur filled chocs at once, and then had the audacity to blame the chocolate
1:57 am
dcseain

LOL i love those too.
1:58 am
grannyrose

* giggle *
1:58 am
grannyrose

you would make a great pair then.
1:59 am
dcseain

my mom was fond of those too.
2:01 am
grannyrose

cool change is here but the breeze brings sooty debris and the smell of smoke.
2:02 am
dcseain

it’s 50F overcast and lightly foggy, if pleasantly humid in the middle of our usual drier-than-desert Winter here.
2:02 am
dcseain

We’re all a bit sad it’s too warm for snow. But yay precipitation.
2:02 am
grannyrose

and the three missing people have been found safe and well. prayers answered.
2:04 am
dcseain

that’s wonderful!
2:04 am
grannyrose

many have lost their homes, and source of income ie cattle, sheep etc. ask sprite to send some of her snow.
2:04 am
dcseain

is fire season a part of the year there too? I know it’s a thing in the Western US and Canada
2:06 am
grannyrose

absolutely seain. fortunately the fire bugs have been missing this year. we live on the edge of national forest. every time we hear the sirens, we cringe.
2:06 am
dcseain

every time di5 copies are in the grid, i can smell the lovely scent of them all over again.
2:06 am
dcseain

fire bugs?
2:08 am
grannyrose

we have a scanner on which we can hear the calls from the CFA ( country fire authority ). firebugs... idiots who think it's fun to start a fire in the midst of a forest.
2:08 am
dcseain

oh! we just call them arsonists.
2:09 am
grannyrose

yeah. here arsonists usually refer to those who set fire to property like homes and cars. firebugs usually set fire to bush.
2:10 am
dcseain

a useful distinction.
2:10 am
grannyrose

todays fires have begun with dry lightning.
2:10 am
dcseain

a lot of fires in California are stated by above-ground power lines.
2:11 am
dcseain

that sucks. I hope they are able to prosecute them.
2:12 am
grannyrose

over here our power companies have been working hard to make safe our above ground power lines. a lot of tree pruning, and the use of spacers to keep lines apart so that they cannot spark.
2:13 am
dcseain

sounds like Califiornia needs to better regulate Pacific Power and Gas’s electric infrastructure.
2:13 am
grannyrose

oh seain. our authorities have a lot of powers, and grounds, on which to prosecute those who deliberately start fires.
2:13 am
dcseain

good. So do California and Colorado here.
2:14 am
dcseain

possiby some other Western states.
2:15 am
grannyrose

i am surprised that the firebugs have been so quiescent. usually by now we have had several fires which have been deliberately lit. maybe the severity of the punishments of previous firebugs has had a deterrent effect.
2:17 am
dcseain

i sure hope it did.
2:18 am
grannyrose

the murder of the woman by ICE agents is on our news. is what we are seeing true?
2:19 am
dcseain

It is, very sadly. ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) are as bad as German Brown Shirts 80 years ago.
2:20 am
dcseain

it’s not the happiest of times here in the US.
2:20 am
dcseain

and i live in a building full of immigrants and natives both. I worry about my neighbors a lot. I feel safe, and i want them to feel safe too.
2:25 am
dcseain

and i suddenly think i can sleep.
2:25 am
grannyrose

it's so sad seain. my heart is filled with tears for all over there.
2:25 am
dcseain

g’daylnight and hoppy babbling!
2:25 am
grannyrose

sweet dreams dear seain.
2:25 am
dcseain

and that wanton killing is just UGH.
2:26 am
grannyrose

sending positive vibes your way dear friend

ChampFit

And it doesn't build off of anything.
8:33 am
penquis

8:33 am
ChampFit

Nope. The 9 is gl
8:34 am
rururocks

Sugrraleona

ty hursh
10:17 am
Atalante

sound alike the singular would be a swine + a figurative concept (its raining cats and dogs!). give it a latin plural ending instead
10:18 am
Atalante

its part(s) of an ninvertebrate leg
10:18 am
hurshy

ok thanks got it
10:19 am
hokie carla

gave me enough to look it up, thanks. what are my missing 2 P's, then, hurshy?
10:20 am
Atalante

sorry, that wa a horrid clue
10:21 am
hokie carla

well, I was stuck on simile or metaphor and realized that wasn't what you meant so just looked it up. in other words, it's not you, it's me.
10:22 am

oh that's not top sorry
10:39 am
hurshy

ac4 is the only top
10:40 am
hokie carla

not agita. which annoys me
10:40 am
hurshy

that's not enough points
10:40 am
hokie carla

no, it just annoys me that word isn't on enable. I try it every time.
10:40 am
hurshy

me too
10:41 am
Atalante

is it a word?
10:41 am
hokie carla

oh, monkeyed it and didn't notice
10:42 am
hokie carla

yes, agita means aggravation
10:42 am
hurshy

well the OED says so
10:42 am
Atalante

huh. didn't know that!
10:43 am
hokie carla

well, I'm leaving 7 for later. TTFN. 2-3-2
10:44 am
hurshy

there's no guilt like the guilt when a cat jumps down from sitting on you because you sneezed
10:45 am
Atalante

how could you
10:45 am
hurshy

unfortunately i am a very rude momma
10:45 am
Atalante

clearly! :D
10:47 am
hurshy

weird. spelling bee won't take immuring
10:55 am
Atalante

so over here we keep hearing that Trump is not well and getting less and less well. Is that actually right, or wishful thinking?
10:57 am
BzznBea

I can't believe that anyone that acts like him is "well".
11:00 am
hurshy

there is good observable evidence that he has fronto-temporal dementia
11:00 am
Atalante

it is all very troubling
11:01 am
hurshy

he stated that he takes 4x the recommended dose for older adults of aspirin daily
11:02 am
hurshy

his diet is known to be extremely unhealthy
11:02 am
Atalante

I presume he has to have check-ups but that the doctors won't ever actually say he's ill?
11:02 am
hurshy

correct
11:04 am
hurshy

unless one gets a sudden attack of conscience severe enough to overcome their fear of him and turns whistleblower
11:05 am
BzznBea

I'm more worried about those around him. All of his staff and secretaries. They are just as bad.
11:06 am
Atalante

if - for example - he was judged as unfit, or worst case, died, what happens? Is there a new President elected from the appropriate party, or a new general election, or?
11:07 am
BzznBea

JD Vance, the vp becomes president.
11:08 am
Atalante

oh jeez. well that doesn't make much better
11:08 am
BzznBea

That's right.
11:08 am
hurshy

except for the fact that nobody's ever liked him
11:09 am
hurshy

meaning more of the population might turn against the administration
11:09 am
Atalante

apart from whats his name's widow
11:09 am
hurshy

Charlie Kirk, Erika
11:09 am
hurshy

yes
11:09 am
Atalante

ty yes
11:09 am
hurshy

but i'm speaking of the population in general
11:10 am
hurshy

for whatever weird reason, a lot of people liked trump. some say it's because he had all the bad qualities, and so, whatever bad quality you had, his having it too made it seem more acceptable for you to have it. (such as racism, or just being a jerk)
11:11 am
Atalante

I can see that. If the President does it ...
11:11 am
hurshy

inexplicable as it may be, there is a popularity there
11:11 am
hurshy

which does not exist with Vance
11:11 am
BzznBea

Mr. Bea and I were just talking about that last night.
11:13 am
hurshy

but, Heather Cox Richardson opines that when people say "it wouldn't be any better if Vance took over" whether due to death or the 25th amendment, really, anything is better than having someone with dementia having his finger on the nuclear button
11:14 am
Atalante

I agree with that!
11:15 am
Atalante

oooo what is the 25th amendment? I don't know that one
11:16 am
hurshy

if a president becomes incapacitated, unfit for duty, his cabinet can remove him
11:16 am
Atalante

is there actually a process for that? Does all of cabinet have to agree? Votes? more than half?
11:16 am
hurshy

which is unlikely because they would have to decide that things are SO bad that removing him (and losing his popularity) is better for their own quest for power than leaving him in place
11:18 am
hurshy

a majority of the cabinet
11:18 am
hurshy

and then if he fights their decision Congress gets involved and has to have a 2/3 majority to remove him
11:19 am
Atalante

26 people! thats a big majority to have to get
11:19 am
hurshy

yeah and these are just wussy brown-noser types
11:19 am
hurshy

so it's terribly unlikely
11:20 am
hurshy

they've all cut ties with reality as well, so even the simple step of recognizing the real dangers is perhaps beyond them
11:21 am
Atalante

ugh
11:23 am
Atalante

he upset us marine people a lot yesterday when he withdrew from UN Oceans and South Pacific fora
11:24 am
rururocks

he is totally anti-environment
11:30 am
Atalante

what does he think about plastic pollution? It just occurred to me that I've never heard that mentioned
11:30 am
hurshy

he wouldn't care
11:31 am
hurshy

in addition to his newer problems, he has always been a narcissistic sociopath
11:31 am
hurshy

AND an idiot
11:31 am
hurshy

who isn't really capable of understanding much and refuses to read anything, so they have to present his briefings in video form
11:51 am
Atalante

4 d's to go
