hello Jellen, good to see you
1:21 am
jillibus
Hi jellen!
1:22 am
jillibus
flosey -- no bridge for you tonight? Why not?
1:22 am
flosey
hi jilli, how did you do tonight?
1:22 am
Jellen
Good to see you all!
1:23 am
flosey
lol jilli, regular partner not available, so took advantage of a needed rest
1:23 am
jillibus
not very well, flosey :-( -- don't quite know yet -- results not posted when I looked
1:24 am
jillibus
I thought that might have been the case, flosey
1:25 am
flosey
wonderful to have family here but not use to the commotion an almost 4 yr old can create - a very active little guy
1:30 am
jillibus
didn't know the family was with you, flosey -- fun, but ... !
1:30 am
flosey
Thursday til this afternoon
1:31 am

I see why you needed a rest!
1:32 am
flosey
lol, if my regular partner was available I'd have played but decided the rest would be good
1:42 am
jillibus
I have CTV on and that annoying commercial from BC about fraud was on -- I find it amazing that they are using the name of our respected Governor General as the name of the fraudster in the commercial.
1:44 am
flosey
wow, I'll look for it in tomorrow's paper
1:46 am
jillibus
I don't think it will be in the paper. It's been repeated many times a day for weeks and nobody seems to object -- but I do!
1:47 am
flosey
haven't seen tv or heard radio since last week, odd that it isn't reported in the paper
1:49 am
flosey
reread your comment, missed the commercial part
1:52 am
jillibus
well, that was the point, lol!
1:54 am
jillibus
I did mention it twice!

3:40 am
grannyrose
lol, *easter*
3:40 am
Glantarell
we never realise that we are not just marrying the man but his rellies too, until it's WAY too late LOL
3:41 am
Glantarell
what's she done?
3:41 am
Glantarell
i haven't spoken to you in ages - how was the trip to tasmania?
3:43 am
grannyrose
she has had mother mac over to her home for all 4 days of easter for the last 6 years, and i have been on-call for the last 9, except for easter sunday, when for the last 10 years MY side of the family get together as a family. this year, she has deided that she is suddenly unavailable for easter sunday, and so i have to cart mother mac around with me, while i try to celebrate easter with my family.
3:44 am
Glantarell
oh dear, nowhere else mother mac could go? and she can't be left alone?
3:44 am
grannyrose
oh, thanx for asking, glant. tasmaia was awesome. i went rock climbing at all the beaches we visited, and did a few 1 1/2-2 hour walks and hikes while we were there
3:45 am
Glantarell
rock climbing - wow, your knee must be much better
3:45 am
Glantarell
my mum s now hobbling without her walker
3:45 am
grannyrose
no, dear, she cannot be let alone for an extended period, besides who would leave an old lady alone on easter sunday?
3:45 am
Glantarell
but she's not walking properly yet
3:46 am
Glantarell
i am being left alone on easter sunday LOL - but that's because I want to be :-)
3:46 am
grannyrose
awww, poor mum.
3:47 am
Glantarell
i guess she learnt how not to walk properly in the 2-3 years before her hip was replaced, and she's having to re-learn how to walk
3:47 am
Glantarell
so at the moment she's still a bit penguin-like LOL
3:47 am
Glantarell
but at least she's supporting her own weight
3:47 am
grannyrose
*sigh* i do so hope she progresses well, glant
3:47 am
Glantarell
she doesn;t have the stamina to walk far yet though
3:48 am
grannyrose
how far post-op is she?
3:48 am
Glantarell
she has a knee replacement in the same leg to look forward to
3:48 am
Glantarell
that may be part of why she's hobbling
3:48 am
Glantarell
she had the op on 14 Jan
3:49 am
grannyrose
not so long ago then. it's still early days, hun. give her time.
3:49 am
Glantarell
thing is thta while she was looking after my father she was pretty much housebound for a coupe of years
3:49 am
Glantarell
i need to get her form 50 yards to 100 yards LOL
3:50 am
Glantarell
nice talking to you rose, keep well and try to enjoy easter despite the change in plans - i've got to go to work now - bye
3:50 am
Glantarell
*poof*

If you are talking about what I think you're talking about, it's a lifting of droopy upper eyelids, because that droop is interfering with vision.
6:13 am
sandyloo
i hate going to the doctor and she rings me every year to make me go and have a checkup
6:14 am
sandyloo
actually molly his eyelids droop on the bottom its actually the lower lids he is having tightened
6:14 am
sandyloo

6:14 am
MollyL
Oh okay, never heard of that then.
6:14 am
sandyloo

6:43 am
rubyfoo
it is still cold here and we need more wood, having gone through more than 4 steres this miserable winter
6:44 am

Our shed should be going up over the next week- it will look strange until we get some plantings around it
6:44 am
sandyloo
what is a stere?
6:45 am
rubyfoo
hmm, I'm not ure how it compares to a cord, but I didn't have a fireplace in the US, so now use Fr (metric) measures
6:46 am
rubyfoo
it's a lot of wood, however
6:46 am
sandyloo
oooh what it a cord? we have wheel barrows LOL
6:46 am

rubyfoo
we only have aircon in the bedroom and only use it about 10 days a year except if it's hot during the Tour, then I lied in bed with the aircon on -- bliss
6:52 am
lynxxx
I think Aust is the only country that uses the word doona Sandy
6:52 am
rubyfoo
my typing is still terrible with this very sensitive keyboard
6:52 am
sandyloo
we turn the aircon on for about an hour then change to the fan
6:52 am
sandyloo
that is interesting lynxx
6:53 am
rubyfoo
does it come from an Abo language?
6:53 am
sandyloo
it tends to cool down quickly at night in the country when you are not surrounded by a concrete jungle

No Ruby, I think it was a brand name when they first appeared on the market here and the name stuck
6:54 am
lynxxx
Hi Spritely
6:54 am
rubyfoo
doona sounds sort of like a caregiver for children; here they say nounou
6:54 am
sprite
hi lyn :) xxx

sandyloo

6:56 am
rubyfoo
uh oh, it's that Aussie wine!
6:56 am
sandyloo
I; have 25 left
6:56 am
lynxxx
quilts and comforters really weren't that common here until the 1960s...think they appeared with the influx of more "New Australians' (what an antiquated term now) from Europe
6:56 am
sandyloo
Ha ha, that reminds me I do need more wine
6:57 am
sandyloo
one thing i noticed in england was that they don't use a top sheet just the doona cover so they have to wash the cover all the time
6:57 am
rubyfoo
do you drink red or white, Sandy, I'll lay some in for the Tour, just in case.....
6:57 am
sandyloo
that didn't make any sense to me
6:58 am
lynxxx
I rarely use a top sheet either except if it is really cold.
6:58 am
rubyfoo
we use a top sheet, blankets (on Burt's side, a coverlet and THEN the duvet
6:58 am
sandyloo
Usually I drink white, but i can only drink expensive reds or i get allergic so I keep some good ones for my special treats LOL
6:58 am
lynxxx
A sheet - a doona cover - not much difference
6:58 am
rubyfoo
it's like sleeping Under a bridge with 12 inches of covers
6:59 am
sandyloo
Lyn I cant stand changing the covers on those doonas all the time so I always have a top sheet
6:59 am
lynxxx
whew - sooo hot
7:00 am
sandyloo
I thought you would be tucked up with the central heating ruby
7:00 am
rubyfoo
at hôtels in Austria, they just put the duvet and change it ever other day
7:00 am
sandyloo
I found that hot in england
7:00 am
rubyfoo
I get too hot during the night because the duvet retains body heat
7:01 am
sandyloo
those dogs look very warm ruby
7:01 am
rubyfoo
happily, they don't get on the furniture or beds
7:01 am
rubyfoo

7:51 am
sprite
yes, the babble expert browser and the list are from Lickety. But the babble game and website are from Dr God
7:52 am
crosshair
that would be for licketys babble clues i would imagine
7:54 am
pida 1
I'm not sure what's what, but the new version (12) link, I got from lickety. With all the attachments and perks. I had lost my Babble link completely, but I could still sign on to the basic grid. Now I have it all again, and can start playing more often.
7:54 am
sprite
so... to try and retrieve account info, use the link at the bottom of this page, below the white rectangle. On the blue background saying "Got anye comments or questions? Send them."
7:56 am
sprite

Completely off topic, does anyone know anything about tingling in the ends of fingers? I have had it for over two weeks.

yes, I like the biggies too, just not when lickety is unavailable...lol
8:04 am
smores
no xeiiuj...sorry
8:04 am

could be several causes, xeiluj. Did you hurt your hands, arms or neck/shoulders? Overtaxed them? Did a lot of computing or other repetitive work? Blood pressure ok?
8:04 am
smores
Teach...you have a new icon, is that one of the ones you play?
8:05 am

It is a bowed psaltery. Put it up because our psaltery group was practicing yesterday
8:06 am

Nothing like that. Don't worry, i will go back to the docs. Have looked it up on the net and nothing. Thanks anyway
8:06 am
smores
ah...nice :)
8:06 am
Scrabbler
Good day to all.
8:06 am
MimiCat
Also, xei, are you diabetic or been told you are pre-diabetic? There can be many reasons for the tingling. You should get to the dr. and have them test for diabetes and also for MS....just in case.
8:06 am

ok xeiluj, indeed best to let the doctors check it out. So many possibilities.

Yes xeiiuj, I would definately check with your doctor. Are you taking any new meds? Maybe a side effect ?

Hi, Scrabs!

8:07 am

I know, just gone through a lot of health stuff jusr recently and kinda didn[t want to go for anything else
8:07 am

for me, it is polyneuropathology... doctor's lingo for we don't have the faintest idea.

8:09 am

Both hands and overnight

My goodness, Sprite, that is not good!

Maybe carpal tunnel syndrome. Pain or just tingling?
8:10 am

Why Sprite?

sounds like compression/repedative motion stuff to me,but i am no dr.see your doc.may be oxygen saturation issues,a great number of things can cause this
8:10 am

no, it is very frustrating. Went to neurologist and this is what they came up with. Clearly something wrong, we don't know what.
8:10 am

Scrabs, why what?
8:11 am

Tingling and spreading down my fingers.

8:12 am

no they don't, Scrabs. Ran a whole lot of tests, from bloodwork to nerve tests, and nothing came out of it except the polyneuropathology. I use gabapentine, which helps a little bit.

Make sure you are getting enough vitamin D. www.vitamindcouncil.org
8:13 am
sprite
yes, I do, Scrabs! And I really thinks it helps too. When I forget for a while, it gets worse. Have been aware of the need for extra vitamin D since you pointed me to it.
8:13 am
xeiluj
Thanks everyone, guess i am going back again. Shall let you know how i get on.
8:14 am

please do, xeiluj. I hope they can figure it out and make it go away.

lol@ vitamin d,scrabbs.we had a real bright sunny day yesterday and while out walking you could just see everyone that was out and about pointing themselves at the sun and standing there like a bunch of new flowers seeking warmth caught myself doing it from time to time
8:15 am
pida 1
Sounds like diabectic neuropathy, a little bit anyway, xei. Have you had your magnesium levels checked. Along with Vit D-3, etc?
8:15 am

Our brains know we need sun exposure.

isn't that wonderful, crossy? People still know how to enjoy the blessings in life.
8:17 am

I walk to work and always try to look upwards, even if i can't see the sun i know it is up there somewhere!
8:17 am
MimiCat
One of the good things about living here in the desert is that we naturally get lots of vit D...drs. have told me we don't even need extra D supplements.
8:18 am
sprite
I never knew vit D was so important, until Scrabs told us about it. Have been spreading the word ever since.
8:19 am

Vitamin D is actually a hormone that our body produces and sun exposure is key.

Good to know, Scrabs, as I had a heart attack last year...didn't even know about the calcium but haven't been taking it for years...I feel I get enough in my diet.

The rapid influx of calcium, from absorption, can trigger a heart attack.
8:23 am
MimiCat
People think supplements are useful but don't think they can also be harmful....doesn't make sense.
8:23 am
smores
So is it just because people take too much or it the RDA amount okay?
8:24 am
hokie carla
Got em, thx.
8:24 am

Also true with OTC drugs...look what we now know about Tylenol.
8:24 am

And magnesium is very important for our health too.
8:25 am

I am not currently taking them, but I used to take the chocolate calcium chews
8:26 am

Yes Scrabs. And calcium pulls magnesium out of your bones and may make you deficient

True, smores. We're lucky here in the Phoenix area as we do have a wonderful medical community. My best friend in the Atlanta area has horrible problems.

It's kind of sad that they don't update it very often

Pinikula

smores
Yeah, I was just being silly when I typed it and it took :)
10:11 pm

it's in the American Heritage dictionary, just not in this one

Book Doctor Gwen
wh5 = sounds like we5 (to cry)
11:37 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
oops, that's we4 (to cry)
