Lovely to see you too!

4:53 am

FMitch

It started about 20 mins ago but was getting slower and slower before that. Nice grid tho' so far ...

4:54 am

sprite

and why the heck isn't 'tuttle' valid? Looks english, sounds english...

4:55 am

FMitch

argh now my posts are not showing :(

4:56 am

sprite

it is so frustrating when the site doesn't work properly. So far so good here though... *keeps fingers crossed*

4:58 am

oh there they are - going to take a break and hope things improve, sorry to leave you.

4:58 am

sprite

np FM, I fully understand. *hugs*

5:02 am

herinfernallady

HI

5:02 am

sprite

lolllll the theme is in the grid today! As is UFO.
(and stfu but that isn't nice)

Hiya lady :)

5:03 am

herinfernallady

How is it going?

5:04 am

sprite

okayish. Too much stress I cannot do anything about and too little energy left to do the things I have to do. But trying to find the balance.
And you?

5:04 am

herinfernallady

Let go what you can't change

5:05 am

sprite

can't, hun. It is the neighbours adding to their house, which shares a wall with ours.

5:06 am

herinfernallady

Ok can you compromise? Do you mind me asking what they are going?

5:06 am

herinfernallady

Ok can you compromise? Do you mind me asking what they are going?

5:06 am

herinfernallady

OPPS Doing (maybe they should be going)

5:07 am

sprite

they are going to have their house made bigger. The living room will be extended into their garden during the next month or so.

5:07 am

herinfernallady

Ok so it is a noise thing?

5:08 am

herinfernallady

Can't you compromise with them and ask them to be no noise before 9 and after 5?

5:09 am

sprite

yes, noise and privacy thing. A bit harder to cope with when having ptsd, but it will be okay. They will keep me up to date what to expect, so I am prepared.

5:09 am

herinfernallady

Ok As for Privacy are you renting or do you own?

5:09 am

sprite

noise will start at 7 am, the builders will leave every day around 16.00, and then the neighbours themselves will do what they can during the evenings.

5:10 am

sprite

we own. Well, the bank does, lol.

5:10 am

herinfernallady

Ok I have a suggestion for the privacy. Do you like the neighbours?

5:11 am

sprite

yes they are nice people

5:12 am

herinfernallady

Ok what you do is by some Lattice Fencing and put it as a topper to the fence. Or you could ask them to go halves in having the fence height increased

5:13 am

herinfernallady

You could also cover the top of the lattice in a neutral shade cloth as a blocker

5:13 am

sprite

oh I wish! But the fence has to go during the building. My love managed to move it, we hope it will hold for about a month.
But after that, I will have a real wall where part of the fence used to be. That is very private :)

5:14 am

sprite

once the work is done, I will have a cozy little corner in our garden where it will be great to sit and sun, even with the tiniest bit of sun and warmth. So that is a plus :)

5:14 am

herinfernallady

Ok so how about um some sort of errrrrr temp thing

5:14 am

herinfernallady

You know that you can also decorate said wall to make it less ugly

5:15 am

sprite

I am going to be really anti social during the work. I am going to keep my curtains closed and if I can, I will wear earplugs too.

5:16 am

herinfernallady

Yuk but at least they are a lot polite on the moving

5:16 am

herinfernallady

O and teh other thing is you could get a temp fence and you could use a sheet to cover it

5:16 am

sprite

oh that is a good idea, lady, we can grow something flowery up the wall.

Yes, they are ok about it, they aren't doing anything wrong. It is just that I have trouble handling stuff like this. But I will manage.

5:18 am

herinfernallady

O as for growing something up the wall don't/ Suckers from plants like ivy cause mortar to rot out

5:19 am

sprite

yes I am thinking more like a trellis with something flowery, that won't damage the wall.

5:20 am

sandrafrances

7:57 am

crosshair

my laundry is a life form of its own:(

7:58 am

Mom

lol Crossy, I am down to about 4 loads a week since it is just me and my sweetie

7:58 am

crosshair

three of us work for 4 days,washing,folding,finding a home for it,you turn around and blink and it is all back again,the laundry bags looking at you with evil intent

7:59 am

Mom

wow, I know when the boys were home I did laundry twice a week

8:00 am

Mom

Gramma, are you still here?

8:00 am

crosshair

lol@4 loads i dream of just 4 loads,partly my fault i suppose as i let it build for 2 weeks and we get 15 to 20 loads.4 full size industrial laundry bags,fill the car up and take it down the road to the laundo-mat with the quad washers,jam it all in and set it on frape lol

8:01 am

Mom

si + 2nd vowel + opposite of day (alt. spelling)

8:01 am

Mom

no wonder it takes so long to do the laundry. Pack it up, unpack it, sort it, wash, dry, fold...ugh

8:02 am

Mom

I would let it go 2 weeks also if I had to lug it to the laundromat

8:02 am

crosshair

yup,no machines in the apt;(

8:03 am

crosshair

well there is the laundry room,but it is coin fed and they have the heat on the dryers set so low,you have do dry them twice..hell i can blow more hot air than those things down the hall can put out

8:03 am

Mom

I remember when we first married and bought our first house, I told sweetie I didn't mind doing the wash at the laundromat but he was going to go with me. I had a washer and dryer after one visit. :-)

8:04 am

crosshair

lol

8:04 am

Mom

the one we went to was disgusting

8:04 am

crosshair

ours is nice and clean and up to date,but still a pain

8:04 am

Mom

I think they do that on purpose to get more money out of you

8:05 am

crosshair

with ours you get a laundry card and acct,and you can put laundry credits on it and all the machines take this card and it keeps track of how many times you use it.so every 8th wash is free

8:08 am

crosshair

but still those 15-20 loads ends up around 30 dollars by the time you are done

8:09 am

Mom

wow, that is quite expensive

8:09 am

Mom

let me tell you about this wonderful invention that SC Johnson and Company has come up with. I am on my second box.

8:10 am

Mom

It is called Shout Color-Catcher. It is a sheet and you put it in your washer and you can mix all colors, whites and reds, etc and this sheet catches the color and it stays off the other clothes

8:11 am

crosshair

now there is a good idea,especially the way i sort and wash clothes lol

8:11 am

72 Temple Owl

hello all (mom)

8:11 am

Mom

((TO)) good morning

8:11 am

8:15 am

crosshair

8:16 am

crosshair

tc mom

8:16 am

Mom

can't you increase the water intake so your mouth won't be so dry

8:16 am

Mom

you as well Crossy

8:18 am

crosshair

it has a built in humidifier with 3 settings,but if you have ever used one,it is still tough.but i should not complain as without it my chance of heart attack and stroke was 50% higher!

8:18 am

Kazzer99

i had to give up on them things crossy - i couldnt sleep at all after about a week on it

8:18 am

crosshair

wife sleeps and she does not worry bout me dying in my sleep no more;0

8:19 am

Mom

sweetie had to adjust his because of dry mouth and he has finally found a comfortable setting on his

8:19 am

crosshair

i have no choice kazz,without it,i stop breathing over 50 times a night

8:19 am

72 Temple Owl

wow i cannot believe how prevalent this condition is

8:19 am

Mom

Kazzer did you use the mask or the leads that go in your nostrils

8:19 am

crosshair

plus it is a 1000 dollar machine! good grief!

8:20 am

Kazzer99

i sleep on my front or side - i was diagnosed with severe sleep apnoea as well but have learnt better coping mechanisms with it and lost 4 stone

8:20 am

crosshair

yes,i am carrying a few extra stones lol

8:20 am

Kazzer99

i had to have a mask becasue i sleep with my mouth open - also here in the Uk we get the machine on loan from the NHS

8:21 am

Kazzer99

i still have 7 stone at least to go but also my gastric reflux is nearly completely gone as well

8:21 am

crosshair

i use mask as well,scrabbs uses the nasal one i think

8:21 am

Mom

that is great news Kazzer

8:22 am

72 Temple Owl

yes

8:22 am

Mom

sweetie uses the mask but my friend uses the nasal ones

8:22 am

Mom

now I am really going to go...... bye for now

8:22 am

Kazzer99

Mind you crossy - if it stops you from dying in your sleep then its a good thing - my dad had one for a while until he lost weight as well

8:23 am

Kazzer99

see ya mom - back to the grid for me - then i have to go and do some washing (lol)

8:23 am

crosshair

tc mom

8:23 am

crosshair

yes kazz,it is the extra lard i am hefting arounf

8:24 am

crosshair

i still have 40 to lose

8:24 am

crosshair

40 pounds that is,not stone!

8:25 am

suefrad625

I have 10

8:25 am

suefrad625

down 16 so far

8:25 am

crosshair

a stone is what? 12-14 pounds? so 3 stone to go

8:26 am

suefrad625

I went on womansday.com

8:28 am

Kazzer99

i actualy got up to 26 stone at one point but then got down to 19 then went bac kup to 23 and now hovering on the 21 mark - but not getting anywhere - need to re-evaluate the calories i am munching

8:29 am

Kazzer99

i use my fitnesspal.com. It is very good - gives you the amount of food you can eat to lose 2lbs a week

8:31 am

crosshair

i use my wardrobe lol,i have 5 pairs of pants from 2 years ago when i can fit back into them,i can stop lol

8:34 am

rubyfoo

hello hello

8:34 am

crosshair

((ruby))

8:35 am

Kazzer99

that is very good crossy - i should have done that

8:36 am

Kazzer99

hi ruby how are things with you

8:36 am

rubyfoo

tell me how you fought your gastric reflux, kaz. I take Nexium and used to take Prevacid. I can't lose any weight....

8:36 am

rubyfoo

The visit with husband's daughter was terrific! All issues were resolved

8:37 am

crosshair

i take reflux meds now daily:(

8:37 am

rubyfoo

and she didn't snoop (as far as I know)

8:38 am

rubyfoo

which ones do you take, crossy?

8:38 am

crosshair

sec....

8:38 am

Kazzer99

The main thing i learnt was not to eat at least 2-3 hours before i go to bed. Not to drink a lot and eat a lot at the same time. If i am out for a specialy meal then i have to only have a glass or two of wine with it - or none and avoid very very hot food (as in spicy)

8:39 am

crosshair

novo-rabeprazolke 20 mg tabs

8:39 am

crosshair

oh spicy is a no go! and red sauce

8:40 am

rubyfoo

that's a mouthful! I wrote it down and will see if it's available here in Fr and also compare the price because Nexium is very expensive

8:40 am

crosshair

these tabs are great and not too expensive

8:40 am

crosshair

i get 100 tabs for 40 dollars CAD

8:40 am

rubyfoo

I never eat spicy food (husband does, so I cook separately for him), never eat large quantities, don't drink much and still get it!

8:41 am

rubyfoo

here it is about $2 per pill

8:41 am

Kazzer99

at the beginning though i was on lanzaprazole

8:41 am

crosshair

but look it up ruby,they are great!

8:41 am

rubyfoo

on my list for tomorrow!

8:42 am

rubyfoo

do either of you have hiatal hernias?

8:44 am

Kazzer99

i have a bit of one its not always there - I did have an ulcer which was treated and then they found the hernia but it feels much better and only gets me every now and then - i am convinced mine is all down to my weight though

8:44 am

rubyfoo

I just found two splendid words on my own (rare), fl8/60 and le7/40. Chuffed

8:44 am

rubyfoo

my mother had one and I have the same symptoms

8:45 am

crosshair

no hernmias that i know of ruby

8:46 am

Kazzer99

well done ruby (on the words)

8:46 am

rubyfoo

that is interesting as I thought that was the cause of the reflux

8:46 am

rubyfoo

I still have 56 left and am missing the left-hand i for nbt

8:47 am

crosshair

no,it is my excessive weight and i still like a wee dram at night

8:47 am

rubyfoo

ty kaz

8:47 am

Kazzer99

it can be but i have had it since i used to drink a lot and was much fatter than i am now

8:47 am

rubyfoo

I certainly have those wee drams

8:47 am

crosshair

the skin at the back of my throat droops and blocks the airway

8:48 am

crosshair

been years since i have been able to sleep on my back

8:48 am

rubyfoo

husband had sleep apnea, too, but he is so skinny now that he doesn't have it any more. And he has gained about 4 lbs. since he came home

8:49 am

crosshair

good,he was too light as i recall

8:49 am

crosshair

when you are that thin,you have no resources to fight if you get ill

8:50 am

rubyfoo

his lowest weight, post-hospital, was under 55 kg

8:50 am

crosshair

good lord! my left leg weighs 55 k lol

8:50 am

Kazzer99

we have decided we need to get to about within a stone of our so called ideal weight

8:51 am

crosshair

my "ideal" with my height and bone structure is in around 190 pounds

8:51 am

uusue2

hi, all, quick tea before choir...

8:51 am

rubyfoo

I just figured my weight in stones and am embarrassed to tell

8:52 am

uusue2

late

8:52 am

crosshair

howdy sue

8:52 am

uusue2

crap.

8:52 am

rubyfoo

hello sue, we're comparing notes about weight and gastric reflux (just to fill you in)

8:52 am

rubyfoo

do you know the sail that comes from that?

8:52 am

crosshair

basically we are all fat and regurgitate like birdies lol

8:53 am

uusue2

comes of being too hasty. PB for me. I am too fat by at least 40 pounds but no gastric reflux, diabetes, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, or anything else except high blood pressure and some arthritis

8:54 am

uusue2

and no, I don't have the sail, nautical terms are not my strong point

8:54 am

rubyfoo

we'll put in dry crackers and black tea for you, sue

8:54 am

Kazzer99

i am suffering from a life of self abuse i think - i have all of those and i am on warfarin cos my blood clots on a whim

8:54 am

uusue2

but I just found an la6 that might be it...

8:55 am

rubyfoo

la6/18 same 4 letters then add a preposition

8:55 am

crosshair

sigh..good ole self abouse,when we were 20 or 30,we were bullet proof,ate,drank,smoked like a fiend..now we must learn to rebehave

8:55 am

rubyfoo

does anybody have the left-hand i?

8:55 am

uusue2

I have been very lucky, kazz, especially as breast and ovarian cancer run in my family

8:56 am

uusue2

indeed, crossy, I didn't start to gain weight until I got pregnant at age 38...

8:56 am

rubyfoo

lucky lucky sue!!!!!

8:56 am

rbud

left-hand i - I have it4 so far

8:56 am

uusue2

and the left-hand i is no longer one of the i***s on my list, ruby

8:56 am

rubyfoo

I weighed more at 18 than I do now

8:57 am

rbud

yep, same one, sue! :)

8:57 am

crosshair

i was fine,till i quit the smokes,then 6 month after that i got my first of 3 cancers in a 4 year span,went down to 160 after treatments,then the weight just piled on

8:57 am

uusue2

anyway have to run, time to sing :-) bbl

8:57 am

rubyfoo

slap me with a fish

8:57 am

Kazzer99

jmcnrick

when a new guy came into my boys' circle of friends and i had him over to dinner with them the other boys all told him he had to take one bite

10:31 am

Mom

I asked them to take one bite and if they didn't like it they didn't have to eat it.

10:31 am

Mom

but if they really didn't want to try it I never pushed the issue. Oh Lord, the things they eat today

10:31 am

jmcnrick

my sil would always make a separate meal for her kids -- i just tried not to serve things I KNEW they disliked but i wasn't making something special for each kid

10:31 am

lil*monkey

oh i see, mom... i definitely don't think much of these moms that cook a whole other me4 for the picky eater

10:31 am

DR1965

my son was very picky when he was younger but he has really opened up to lots of foods he disliked

10:31 am

8:31 pm

Jillyjill

8:31 pm

Nef

Do you find that some people are definitely cat people and others are definitely dog people? I think we are all both in our house (even though I'm allergic to cats); but my daughter in law only likes dogs (even though they have a cat)

8:34 pm

Pinikula

9:58 pm

Jacula

Do you all like my cat's 'Chinese' face?

9:59 pm

Minveryork

LOL!I LOVE your cats Chinese face!Great icon Jacula

9:59 pm

Jacula

Sorry about his ragged ears, but he's a fighter, not a lover.:-(

10:01 pm

Jacula

Thanks, Min. He likes to be appreciated.

10:04 pm

Jacula

it would be so nice if he could get over the kitten that's lost its Mum thing... he still kneads us and sticks his claws out whilst doing so and tries to suckle us. Me especially. He is at least 7 or 8 years old now.

10:04 pm

Nef

I love how people put up all the icons of their pets and the themes. I really enjoy them all; sorry that I don't do the same thing but it just is too frustrating for me to doit

10:06 pm

Jacula

He came from a home where a feral mother had her kittens, the people couldn't look aftert them because a) no money and b) no idea about cats, or any kind of animal (inlcuding humans really)..

10:07 pm

Nef

that's sad, Jac

10:10 pm

Jacula

They ended up catching rats and being fed by people who passed by from the chip shop etc., next to the local By-pass road. Unfortuntately, one time they tried to cross it, Mum got killed and our cat got smacked but not seriously injured. He stayed next to Mum's body for a week. Daughter and her b/f found him, brought him home, fed him, let him out. He went baack to dead Mum's body... they carried him home again, daughter's b/f getting seriously scratched in the process. Then I took over and he stayed.

10:12 pm

Jacula

No idea what happened to the original rowners or tgheir baby because they flitted from the flat, that was chock full of stray cats and dogs, before the next lot of rent was due. They took one dog and 1 cat. The rest, those that weren't run over on the nearby bypass, got rehomed by local residents.

10:13 pm

Nef

how terribly sad! How many animals do you think they had?

10:15 pm

Jacula

Aprroximately 9 cats and 3 dogs, as I recall, Nef. In a flat that was very, very small.

10:15 pm

flosey

just in to change icon

10:15 pm

Nef

hi flosey

10:17 pm

Minveryork

Hello flosey! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.

10:17 pm

Jacula

3 adult cats, I recall seeing and the rest were kittens, one of which is our present cat.

10:17 pm

Nef

Jac, when I hear stories like that I picture some well-meaning people who got in over their heads. I don't condone it; and my initial reaction is that *they* should be spayed; then I try to imagine what may have been going through their head

10:18 pm

Jacula

I know the landlord of that flat and I think I have now persuaded him NOT to allow pets.

10:19 pm

Nef

that sounds like a good idea

10:19 pm

Jacula

Nef - they were a very, very young couple who already had 2 kids. I'm talking 19 as the top age for both. They had good intentions but not the means.

10:19 pm

Minveryork

Jacula, you can take your cat from the fl** to the PB.

10:20 pm

Jacula

Ops, yes., Sorry. Min!

10:20 pm

Jacula

*Oops!

10:21 pm

Nef

2 kids by age 19? No wonder they didn't have the means

10:22 pm

Jacula

Pain au chocolat? MMM! I'll heat a couple of those up. I think I put them in the PB earlier in anticipation of going there when chatting later.

10:23 pm

Nef

is that a cup of cocoa Jac? I'm up for that!

10:24 pm

Jacula

Yes, good intentions, Nef, but no effing idea! They'd leave an open tin of cat food out for the cat and her kittens. No wonder, when we first got him, that he ate his food with a paw and didn't seem to understand having a bowlful of food all for himself.

10:25 pm

Jacula

Nef - No - it's a crossaint with chocolate in it.

10:26 pm

Jacula

Even to this day, many years later, he still needs competition/reassurance when he eats. After his first few mouthfulls, he comes an miaows at me until I go and stand over him whilst he eats.

10:28 pm

Nef

sounds like the poor cat was really traumatized

10:29 pm

Jacula

Yes, he was, but that dosn't stop him killing mice and birds.

10:30 pm

Jacula

I've never seen him catch a rat yet, which is good, since most rats around here will have been poisoned.

10:31 pm

Nef

I don't know what I'd do if our cat got a rat!

10:32 pm

Jacula

And, yes, I am uilty of poisoning rats, too.

10:33 pm

Jacula

Nef - Well, if you are pretty sure it's been poisoned and your cat brings you one home as a gift, you chuck it in the bin.

10:34 pm

Jacula

If it brings a live rat home, let it kill it but then take it away from the cat, thanking the cat for the gift, and then chuck it in the bin.

10:34 pm

Nef

I really don't want any of those types of "gifts" from a cat though! Our cat (actually my dtr's cat) once caught a mouse and thought it was just a toy. A rat would be so much worse!

10:34 pm

Jacula

If your cat doesn't kill the rrat, then whack it with a heavy duty spade to dispatch it.

10:35 pm

Jacula

Then chuck it in the bin.

10:37 pm

Nef

As I said; *I* REALLY don't want a "gift" like that!

10:38 pm

Jacula

I know that sounds cruel, especially to anyone who keepts rats or mice as pets, but I've kept them, too, and, belive me, the wild kind aren't the sort you want running wild around you.

10:40 pm

Jacula

Nef -LOL. I remember the time our cat brought a live mouse in and it ran under the fridge./ That was the frige that we'd just cleaned out that day AND pulled out from it's normal place to clean behind and around. We had to pull it out again. That damned cat!

10:45 pm

Nef

I really hate rodents; especially in the house! (Won't ever have one as a pet!)

10:46 pm

Jacula

The cat sat on the mat, hopefully not with a rat. If it brought a mouse into the house, I hope we had the nous to realise that. A Terrier might be the answer, to catch all the cat can't, Ah! I see the way, have no pets, Nay! Have no pets, NAY! That way, no pest, NADA.

10:47 pm

Jacula

Terrible poem, I know! But you get my drift. LOL.

10:48 pm

Nef

yeah.

10:49 pm

uusue2

Hi all, just checking in briefly before bed.

10:49 pm

Jacula

Actually, I really loved some of the mice we had, Nef. I even had one wrapped in bubble wrap and foil down my cleavage when he was dying. I so wanted to save him. His was a dark chocolate brown mouse called George Clooney, a former stud mouse when we got him. He was 8 years' old, which is very old, for a mouse.

10:50 pm

Jacula

I even got a small straw and dried a gentle version of CPR on him

10:50 pm

Nef

hi uusue. How is your Dad and your step mom doing?

10:51 pm

Jacula

I sat up with him for 8 hours.

10:52 pm

Jacula

He was a most handsome and most engaging mouse.

10:52 pm

Nef

Jac, that is a bit "over the top" if you know what I mean

10:52 pm

Jacula

Nef - not for 'm George' it wasn't.

10:53 pm

Jacula

*my

10:54 pm

uusue2

Hi, nef, dad is great. That's him on my icon. Haven't heard much about stepmom lately.

10:54 pm

Jacula

He was the most healthy mouse of all the 21 mice we had. Most off the others got horrible cancers and cost me a fortunate at the vets to sort out, since they were my daughter's pets.

10:54 pm

Nef

well, as a friend once said to me "whatever floats your boat" then!

10:55 pm

Jacula

8of the other + 'cost me a *fortune

10:55 pm

Jacula

I'm off to bed now. Happy Babbling all!

10:55 pm

Nef

uusue; your dad is quite handsome!

10:56 pm

Nef

niters, Jac

10:57 pm

uusue2

I think so, nef!

10:57 pm

Nef

is that a recent photo?

10:57 pm

uusue2

But bedtime for me now too, see you all tomorrow.

10:58 pm

uusue2

Ten years ago, nef, he was 80.

10:59 pm

Nef

still good looking! And he doesn't look 80 there either (I was guessing closed to 70-75)

11:01 pm

uusue2

Anyway, nighters now. *poof*

11:01 pm

uusue2

Anyway, nighters now. *poof*
