sprite

today is kinda D'day here... meeting with the youth prevention team. Tim promised to be home in time and will drive with us.

1:38 am

puglet

Rose, I had to blow a gasket with something like that with my sister. Family wanting to feed her no-no stuff and she didnt have the will to turn it down

1:38 am

gapeach

Sprite, you are covered with positive energy....the meeting will go well, just know it.

1:38 am

sprite

thanks peach, it really feels that way :)

1:38 am

puglet

how did it go yesterday Sprite

1:39 am

sprite

pug, how frustrating! Can't the family realise her condition does not allow for nono stuff?

1:40 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah. sprite, my prayers are with you all. but hun....stand firm...you have done a great job with bringing up tim...he now has to abide by your rules, or move on. i know it will be hard to let him go, but you have to do so, for all of your sanities sake.

1:40 am

sprite

pug, went well, got to vent some of my stress and will get extra attention on therapy day this week.

1:40 am

gapeach

Dear ones, I'm tired and going to unwind now before bedtime.....will be back later on today. Hugs

1:40 am

puglet

I dont think they really understand the effects of diabetic is to tell the truth

1:40 am

sprite

you are right, rose. Thank you!

1:41 am

sprite

I hope you will sleep well, peach. *hugs*

1:41 am

puglet

bye Peach--hugs and rest well

1:41 am

sprite

and I got the selfcheck stuff for the diabetes. 14.6 last night and 10.0 in the morning before food. Not good, huh.

1:42 am

grannyrose

pugs, thanx hun. my gasket is well and truly blown. and i have told himself HE has to talk to his family and his mother.

1:42 am

grannyrose

sweet dreams, peach

1:42 am

puglet

Sprite know we all hold your hand through this and you are not alone,though you cant see us--we are there and the same to you too Rose

1:42 am

sprite

must have missed a message, rose. What happened that blew your gasket?

1:43 am

grannyrose

hmmmm, 14.6 not terrific, but 10.0 not too bad, considering

1:43 am

sprite

can't see, but can truly feel, pug. Your support is helping me so much.

1:43 am

grannyrose

sprite, mother mac bought herself date scones...full of sugar

1:44 am

sprite

mmol/l that is, rose. They want me between 6 and 7.

1:44 am

grannyrose

and her daughter let her do so

1:44 am

sprite

omg... that is SO wrong. Am so sorry... what was she thinking?

1:45 am

grannyrose

i have told DH either the whole family complies or i step right out of the picture.

1:45 am

sprite

daughter needs a kick in the youknowwhat

1:45 am

puglet

Rose is your mil a diabetic too

1:45 am

grannyrose

i am so tired of trying to keep her out of hospital....

1:45 am

sprite

I couldn't agree more, rose. This is crazy. You doing all the work and them creating more illness.

1:46 am

puglet

is that what caused the leg problem, Rose?

1:47 am

grannyrose

pu7gs, she has a bacteria in her lungs, which feeds on sucrose...every time she has sucrose(cane sugar) she ends up with another episode of acute lung infection which requires prednisolone treatment.

1:48 am

sprite

so the basic question to the daughter is: DO YOU WANT HER DEAD??

1:48 am

puglet

when I take my sister to the doctor for blood testing and its high, its me that looks bad cause Iam the care giver

1:48 am

sprite

well sometimes you just can't help it, pug. Stress, fever, all kinds of stuff that affect it and can't be controlled by you.

1:50 am

sprite

is it resistant to antibiotics, rose?

1:50 am

grannyrose

apparently, sprite....

1:51 am

puglet

well now no-one gives her anything unless I approve of it. But just like Rose I had to blow up over it for it to take or sink in

1:51 am

sprite

sorry to yell. But jeezzz how careless and uncaring of her.

1:51 am

puglet

Ive never heard of that before Rose

1:51 am

grannyrose

pugs, her GP decreased her diuretic...whether this caused the issues with her leg is up for grabs.

1:52 am

sprite

must be utterly frustrating, pug and rose, when you work so hard for them to stay healthy and family steps in and messes it all up.

1:53 am

grannyrose

pugs, there is a strain of staph. aureus around...it is resistant to all but a few antibiotics.

1:54 am

sprite

ok rose... and those few antibiotics? Too taxing for Mother Mac?

1:54 am

puglet

food is used so much for comfort and awards that I think it makes family members feel they are showing love when its not so to the person with the illness

1:54 am

grannyrose

sprite, now you know why i have spent the better part of today in tears...of frustration.

1:55 am

grannyrose

no sprite, the antibiotics are VERY expensive.

1:55 am

puglet

ahh Rose--hugs---you can only do your best Rose and thats it

1:55 am

grannyrose

and our hospitals/medicos are reluctant to use them

1:56 am

sprite

*holds rose in a huge hug*

1:57 am

sprite

I think in the case of Mother Mac they will have to use the expensive stuff. A huge difference between for instance skin issues from the staph and pneumonia.

1:57 am

grannyrose

*smiling* thanx dear friends...more than DH offered me when i got home from work. mind you, i was shaking with anger.

1:58 am

sprite

yeah, our wonderful men don't quite know what to do when we are mad as hell, do they, rose? Same here.

1:58 am

grannyrose

and he copped the full impact...

1:59 am

puglet

Mine runs to the barn-lol

1:59 am

sprite

I think you have every right and reason to be angry. And with your ultimatum too. If they don't comply, you have to be out of it or it will drive you bananas.

1:59 am

grannyrose

*building DH a barn* think he will use it?

2:00 am

puglet

I knew something was amiss yesterday with you Rose

2:00 am

sprite

basically, when we get emotional, our men think they need to solve something. It is a male thing to think in solutions, and a female thing to need our feelings acknowledged.

2:00 am

puglet

He just might! When Iam mad at my guy thats his retreat

2:01 am

sprite

lol... mad AT him is something el4! But mad, not at him, that is hard to bear.

2:04 am

puglet

He use to be really bad at cooking stuff and feeding it to my sister until I blew up and told him I was throwing out every cooking pan and skillet

2:04 am

sprite

Glad you got through to him, pug

2:04 am

puglet

now he comes and ask if she can have this or that-lol

2:05 am

sprite

that's good. he learned, grin.

2:05 am

puglet

well it took awhile Sprite=lol

2:05 am

puglet

well it took awhile Sprite=lol

2:05 am

sprite

hehehe :)

2:06 am

grannyrose

lolol, pugs

2:06 am

sprite

you'd be spitting mad at me... not doing too well with minding my diet at all right now. Best I can do atm is not to eat anything until dinner. That, I can manage. Then dinner and then no snacks. Very best I can do.

2:08 am

puglet

whats wrong with that?

2:09 am

puglet

should I ask WHAT you are eating? lol

2:09 am

grannyrose

sprite, considering what you are going through, i would very gratefully accept that, hun.

2:09 am

sprite

here they say it is best to have 3 meals a day, pug. Best not to create big ups and downs in the sugar.

2:10 am

sprite

yesterday I had chicken, rice and veggies.

2:10 am

puglet

same here too

2:10 am

grannyrose

*hands sprite a large box of choklits* medicinal, of course

2:10 am

sprite

thanks, both of you :) Makes me feel like I am not failing so much at this.

2:10 am

puglet

dont sound like you are doing all that bad

2:10 am

sprite

roflol rose! Virtual choclits, those I can eat by the dozen :)

2:11 am

grannyrose

okay, hun...what are they??? liqueur cherries?

2:11 am

puglet

exlax choclits will clean out the toxins-lol

2:12 am

sprite

virtual booze and choclits, shared with my babble friends... what more can I ask for!

2:12 am

grannyrose

LOLOL, pugs...did anyone tell you, you have a quite nasty turn of mind?

2:12 am

puglet

Sprite, for right now I would not worry so much on losing as I would on taking in the right foods.You cant change everything at once

2:13 am

sprite

lol pug!

2:13 am

grannyrose

with pugs, sprite

2:13 am

sprite

I lost one kg, did I tell you guys?

2:13 am

puglet

yahoo! for Sprite!!!!

2:13 am

grannyrose

yay, sprite, well done.

2:13 am

sprite

ok my friends, will gladly accept your advice and be happy with the things I CAN do for myself right now.

2:14 am

puglet

whats a kg? a pound?

2:14 am

sprite

almost 2, pug

2:14 am

puglet

there you go!

2:14 am

grannyrose

a kg is 2.2lb

2:14 am

puglet

ALRIGHT!!

2:15 am

sprite

oh btw, now that we talk about that... what is a 'stone' when talking about weight?

2:15 am

grannyrose

meanwhile, back at the ranch...grannyrose lost only 1/3 kg or 1lb.

2:16 am

sprite

wtg rose! Good job.

2:16 am

puglet

sprite, some rices has a lot of starches and not too good for diabetics--so please watch on that

2:16 am

puglet

good job Rose

2:17 am

lynxxx

a stone is 14 pound. Hello everyone

2:17 am

sprite

hiya lyn :) xxx

2:17 am

puglet

Hi lyn

2:17 am

grannyrose

g'day lyn

2:17 am

sprite

will do, pug. Once we have this thing with Tim started into the right direction, I will look into the kinds of food.

2:17 am

puglet

I let my sister have a diet coke and it shot her sugar up to 300 something

2:18 am

sprite

thanks lyn. 14 english pounds, probably, so not 7 kg... but a little less?

2:18 am

grannyrose

good grief, pugs

2:18 am

lynxxx

about 6 kgs I think

2:19 am

sprite

omg pug! I never use artificial sweeteners, never let my kids have them either. I have the feeling our bodies have no freakin' idea what to do with the stuff.

2:19 am

joso

more like 6kg

2:19 am

puglet

thats whats nice that you can test yourself Sprite. You can see what things does your sugar that way

2:19 am

sprite

thanks again, lyn! All those nonmetric measures are so confusing for us dutchies :)

2:19 am

grannyrose

7kg equals 14.14lbs, or 15.4lbs

2:20 am

puglet

Hi ya Joso

2:20 am

sprite

I can as soon as we manage to get the sugar down, pug.

2:21 am

joso

sprite, could you email me at joso13joso@ yahoo.ca so i can get your email address. I welcome mail from any others who choose to send some

2:21 am

sprite

of course, will do so right away, joso

2:21 am

joso

tnx

2:22 am

grannyrose

and around and around we go...my problem with mother mac...* sigh *

2:23 am

joso

whats up with mamac?

2:24 am

lynxxx

sounds like all of them just don't realise Rose - want a sledgehammer?

2:24 am

joso

stone are confusing to all but the english, such an odd number, 16 or 12 would make so much more sence

2:25 am

sprite

next question to the family, rose: Who is going to take Mother Mac in from now on?

2:25 am

puglet

Heres a funny little story from my day yesterday; My hubby's pet turkey(Baldy) when turn out in the yard(which he was yesterday) likes to try to get you. Well he was in between the gate and the back porch and I wanted my book from the car,so I got the mop to put something in between us,and sure enough here he came running to get me so I put the string part of the mop over his head and grabbed my book and all this time he was killing the mop! Dragging it all over the yard and pulling out the strings! But I made it saftly to the porch-lol

2:26 am

sprite

lol pug! Quite a picture!

2:27 am

grannyrose

joso, mother mac is DH's mother...

2:28 am

joso

you know it's going to be good when it starts with 'pet turkey', what a hoot

2:28 am

lynxxx

pet? sounds more wild

2:28 am

bartamy

ok sl 5/14 has me stumped

2:28 am

joso

I know, I guess I should read back to save you retelling it all

2:29 am

sprite

S + flower of the valley, bartamy

2:29 am

bartamy

thank you, thank you!

2:29 am

sprite

yvw :) Weird spelling.

2:29 am

grannyrose

sprite...exactly....none of them want to step up to the mark..

2:30 am

sprite

rose, tell them: "Next time you give her anything she should not have, I will personally bring her to your home with all her stuff."

2:32 am

puglet

Rose, can M.mac not refuse things like that? Or is she took weak to say no

2:33 am

grannyrose

joso, she and er family do not understand why i get so upset with them (and her ) feeding her foods with a high sucrose content. sucrose is what the bacteria in her lungs feeds on.

2:33 am

sprite

sounds like ABC to me, rose. Which part of that they don't get?

2:34 am

grannyrose

absol.utely, sprite

2:34 am

sprite

how about a diagram?

Mother Mac + (cane)sugar = pneumonia

2:35 am

puglet

they dont get the EAT! lol

2:35 am

lynxxx

so they understand they may kill her? maybe you need to make it crystal clear...that and give them a list of things they CAN treat MM with

2:35 am

sprite

lol pug :)

2:36 am

grannyrose

lol, pugs, apparently not...and neither do the dieticians at the hospital...* sigh *

2:36 am

lynxxx

really? wow

2:37 am

grannyrose

lyn, for goodness sake, i am dealing with adults here...why do i have to treat them like children?

2:37 am

puglet

Is she at the hospital where you work,Rose

2:37 am

sprite

I really understand your frustration, rose. It is maddening.

2:38 am

grannyrose

no, pugs, a local hospital...se is now home, with a nurse visiting to give her antibiotics once/day.

2:41 am

joso

caught up now, you have every right to be furious rose, poor DH, to be the only one aqround when the skattergun goes off, lol

2:41 am

puglet

did any of them show up while she was at the hospital

2:41 am

sprite

*giggles at skattergun*

2:43 am

lynxxx

BBL need to walk Stew and work off some off the excess sugar I have

2:43 am

sprite

lol lyn, you do that. Have a good walk :)

2:43 am

joso

I've had my times at the other end of the scattergun

2:43 am

puglet

lol--have a nice walk Lyn-bye

2:44 am

puglet

I cant see that happening to you Joso-lol

2:44 am

sprite

I thought so, reading your post, joso. For future reference: all we need is the occasional: "Really? OMG! Oh I feel for you!"

2:44 am

grannyrose

thanx joso

2:45 am

grannyrose

later, lyn, hope it is a relaxing walk.

2:46 am

puglet

Rose you need to take some of your own advice and watch the stress because its not going to help YOUR healing process at all

2:46 am

joso

Tend to forget that, want to fix the proplem, as you all noted. I have noticed that a good hug goes a long way though.

2:47 am

sprite

oh yes! A good hug works miracles.

2:47 am

grannyrose

pugs, you have to be joking...the only ones who seem to be concerned with mother mac's welfare is us...

2:47 am

grannyrose

yeah, pugs...i know...i was stressed beyond belief today...

2:48 am

puglet

No Iam not! What good is it going to do if you get worse ? Put out a restraining order on them

2:49 am

grannyrose

*smiling* hugs from sprite, pugs and joso gratefully accepted...

2:49 am

sprite

*hugs rose again* That is even more frustrating. So they don't share in the care but they do add to your problems. Unacceptable.

2:50 am

Lizlin

Just back for a few mins - hugs from here too. Hopefully times will get easier for all of you. You'll be in my thoughts this weekend over the Day of Atonement.

2:50 am

sprite

Lizlin

Congrats Sprite :)

2:50 am

puglet

ahh thanks Liz--hugs around to all

2:51 am

grannyrose

pugs, sometimes i wonder about himself...he is so careful about hurting other peep's feelings...but after what i said this afternoon, i think he is having a very serious re-think.

2:51 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

2:51 am

sprite

your sister and rose's MIL are so lucky to have you.

2:51 am

joso

congrats sprite

2:51 am

2:53 am

grannyrose

liz, please enjoy your weekend, hun...and don't think of mus.

2:53 am

puglet

Rose you and your BH only need to answer to the one above and if you know you guys are doing whats right then He will award you and take care of all the things between. And dont it say something to the effect about not worring?

2:53 am

joso

or atleast completely back you up when you assert what has to happen

2:54 am

grannyrose

* giggle * yes pugs...thank-you for pointing it out

4:20 am

rubyfoo

I am not ready for this, was enjoying the (short) summer

4:20 am

zoozzoom

Not..not mot.

4:21 am

zoozzoom

Well..i would like summer to continue..but Still it was a better summer than we have had for a good few years.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

since we had a grey, chill winter and virtually no spring, I needed a long summer

4:22 am

rubyfoo

Usually, we have a very long spring, Feb - June. Not this year

4:22 am

rubyfoo

At least I have great tomatyoes

4:22 am

zoozzoom

No spring this year was almost a non starter.

4:22 am

rubyfoo

or even tomatoes

4:23 am

zoozzoom

Love tomatoes..i often eat mini tomato as a snack.

4:23 am

rubyfoo

4:23 am

zoozzoom

Toodle pips.

rubyfoo

Our cherry tomatoes are really sweet but have tough skin -- wonderful with mozzarella

4:24 am

rubyfoo

I have 3 plants and enough small tomatoes to give away

4:24 am

rubyfoo

I have 4 different kinds and had one tomato that weighed close to a kg

4:25 am

rubyfoo

I gave it away....brought it to the local Italian resto

4:25 am

zoozzoom

Wow sounds like a beef tomato..lol

4:25 am

rubyfoo

sort of grotesque, though

4:26 am

rubyfoo

they call them "Coeur de boeuf" but it was sort of gnarly and ugly

4:26 am

zoozzoom

Good for hollowing out and stuffing with rice & peas and the alike.

4:26 am

rubyfoo

Didn't think of that -- next year maybe

4:27 am

rubyfoo

*woof*

4:28 am

zoozzoom

Well..i am done here..and as there is no one left..i will go and do boring chores..take care all stealth babblers.

I know someone who has an Irish Catholic mother and a Jewish mother-in-law and he says the two of them could guilt anyone into permanent neuroses.

Hi all. Autumn has definitely arrived here in UK. Two days into Septeber, the temperature dropped by 10 degrees and the wind and rain arrived.

9:52 pm

Jacula

*September, I meant to type. Sorry!

9:52 pm

gapeach

Evening all.

9:52 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for fi5-16 the 3rd? Thanks

9:53 pm

Jacula

Hi Gapeach.

9:53 pm

gapeach

Hey there, Jacula. How are you?

9:53 pm

Jacula

Gap - 3rd fi5/16 is the plural of the pastry word.

9:54 pm

Jacula

Hi Gap - I'm fine thanks. You?

9:55 pm

gapeach

Doing OK. I just read your weather is cooler.....I think we are supposed to get some rain and then cool down. I'm ready for it.

9:59 pm

gapeach

Thanks much, Jacula.

10:02 pm

Jacula

Hang on - I may have clued wrongly. 1st fi5.16 is the plural of those things with stuff in that are kept in offices.2nd is fi4/7 with a vowel at the end, 3rd is an odd-spelling of paper-like Greek pastry with a double consonant in the middle, 4th is 'to put stuff into a container to the maximum' with a snake at the end, 5th is the plural Greek pasty.

10:04 pm

Jacula

Oh well, you got it anyway, gap. x

10:04 pm

gapeach

Thanks so much, Jacula.

10:05 pm

Jacula

Just ask if you need another clue and I will try to clue correctly.

10:09 pm

gapeach

ta7-40 please.....thanks

10:13 pm

Jacula

ta7/40 = implied without being spoken. Extends the ta5.12 before it.

10:13 pm

SpellCheck

peach - adverb form of a ta 5/12 agreement

10:14 pm

gapeach

Thanks much Jacula and SpellCheck.

10:15 pm

Jacula

SpellCheck aka Maggie Smith, nice to meet yuo. I see you are a grammarnerd after my own heart.

10:16 pm

Jacula

Or even nice to meet 'you'. Sorry, iy'ssssss 4.16am here in UK.

10:16 pm

SpellCheck

Hi Jac.... I have to be. Hubby is the grammar po6/24

10:18 pm

Jacula

Well, SPK, there you go then. I'm known as the human dictionary in my family. Not sure that's all good...

10:18 pm

SpellCheck

I had to check back to see what you wrote... Once we got a cute note from someone who told us she was very happy to "meat" us.

10:18 pm

SpellCheck

Better than being accused of not knowing what you are talking about ;-)

10:19 pm

Jacula

Sounds a bit Dexterish. LOL

10:21 pm

SpellCheck

Lol I heard this morning that Dexter will be wrapping up after this season.

10:22 pm

Jacula

Someone looked at a pic of my new haircut earlier and said she wished her hair wasso 'shinny'. However, she can't spell well due to being dyslexic, as is my partner. Both can come up with such great descriptions of things, despite not being able to spell, so I discount that.

10:22 pm

Jacula

SPK - you only heard that this morning? I've known that for quite a while.

10:23 pm

SpellCheck

It was a brief blurb on the am news... What can I say, I live under a HUGE rock.

10:24 pm

Jacula

LOL - sorry to hear about your huge rock SPK. Hiope Fred Flintstone and his mate Barney free you soon. lol

10:24 pm

SpellCheck

I like it under here. It saves me from the likes of Miley Cyrus and Lindsey Lohan.

10:25 pm

Jacula

I can't disagee with the SPK. No idea who either of them are, but have gleaned from Facebook that they are not people I would like.

10:27 pm

SpellCheck

A few years ago we had to travel to Malaysia for DHs work. Paris Hilton had done something incredibly foolish and was in the news. That was all anyone asked us about.

10:28 pm

Jacula

That's sad, SPK and quite worrying. Does everyone in the weorld read OK magazine and think it's true?

10:29 pm

Jacula

If no more clues are needed I'm going to go back to bed now - my typing eerrors are embarrassing me.

10:30 pm

gapeach

Sweet dreams, Jacula.

10:30 pm

SpellCheck

Nice to "meat" you Jac. have a good night.

10:30 pm

Jacula

SPK - we can chew the fat again sometime.

10:31 pm

Jacula

Gap - hopefully so, if interrupted by Other Half's racous snoring.

10:32 pm

Jacula

raucous! sighs, time this girl went back to bed.

10:33 pm

gapeach

Perhaps you could tape him snoring.....no, just kidding. My ex used to be horrible to sleep with....I finally moved into another bedroom.....I could still hear him though.....

10:34 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for fi5-20 the 2nd? Thanks

10:35 pm

SpellCheck

Peach... you should have him get a sleep study. Perhaps he has sleep apnea. That is serious!

10:35 pm

SpellCheck

don't have it yet... sorry

10:35 pm

gapeach

Divorce was easier.

10:36 pm

gapeach

LOL,

10:36 pm

SpellCheck

If he has it, he'll need to wear a CPAP mask at night. My cousins husband has one, and she loves it. He doesn't make a peep anymore

10:36 pm

SpellCheck

aaah... EX.. sorry. Missed that.

10:37 pm

gapeach

The masks do help a lot of people.

10:37 pm

SpellCheck

I'm not listing. Are you looking for the female horse... fi 5/20

10:38 pm

gapeach

No, I have that one.....it is the last word on the fi list. Thanks

10:39 pm

gapeach

Sorry, didn't know you weren't listing....it is after fisc.

10:39 pm

gapeach

fisco

10:39 pm

gapeach

Sorry

10:39 pm

I just found an adverbial form of muscular

10:40 pm

SpellCheck

that was a clue... Let me know if it was too lame.

10:41 pm

gapeach

Brain is tired tonight.....thanks though.

10:41 pm

SpellCheck

Add adverb ending to 3 letter word meaning buff

10:44 pm

SpellCheck

or... one size fi^s all + consonant + sometimes vowel

10:45 pm
