1:34 am

sprite

1:35 am

puglet

1:35 am

grannyrose

breathing pretty good, can almost take a full breath without coughing.

1:35 am

Lizlin

Progress - when does he come home? Or did I miss that?

1:35 am

sprite

wow... sounds like progress, but not good at all yet. Is Don fully on the mend?

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

Maybe you are both on the mend now, Rose :)

1:36 am

grannyrose

don still coughing badly. but not quite as much, we both got a decent night's sleep

1:36 am

1:38 am

sprite

ugly virus :(

1:38 am

Lizlin

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

wow, does sound nasty

1:39 am

sprite

*giggles* Forceful much, huh Liz...

1:39 am

grannyrose

so if you hear of anyone coming down with this, for goodness sake, tell them to drink lots of fluid.

1:39 am

VolleymomDee

I'll remember.

1:39 am

puglet

maybe not so much the virus as it was the bourbon?-lol

1:40 am

Lizlin

Not liking this grid any more than yesterday's! BBL. Good luck Sprite - look forward to hearing the outcome.

1:40 am

sprite

lol pug! Hangover virus.

1:40 am

grannyrose

don as well, pugs, and he doesn't drink alcohol, only socially

1:40 am

sprite

thanks Liz :)

1:40 am

puglet

no the dehydration

1:41 am

sprite

the boy is ill, btw... and all of a sudden he is just a little boy again.

1:42 am

grannyrose

i am so thankful we sent mother mac away. don told me today, that the doctor's told him last week that the antibiotics weren't working for her, because of her poor renal function. * sigh * i don't think she will be with us much longer.

1:42 am

Glantarell

my mum is in the same position rose

1:42 am

grannyrose

aww poor, tim. what's the problem?

1:42 am

Glantarell

where has mother mac gone?

1:42 am

puglet

so sorry Rose

1:42 am

sprite

aw rose :( Tough place to be for all of you.

1:43 am

puglet

Sprite what is wrong with your son?

1:43 am

VolleymomDee

so sorry, Rose

1:43 am

grannyrose

we sent her to her daughter's until we are well enough to take care of her again.

1:43 am

sprite

tim has a touch of the flu. Cottonball head, headache, sore throat, the works.

1:43 am

grannyrose

so if she had picked up this virus, it may have been the end.

1:44 am

Glantarell

my mum's 80 miles away and has just spent a week in hospital - mild heart attack - I found her on the kitchen floor last Monday when i took some shopping

1:44 am

grannyrose

oh, gosh, glant

1:44 am

sprite

you did very well to send her away, rose. Every virus can be fatal when people are that weak. *hugs*

1:44 am

VolleymomDee

How awful, Glant.

1:44 am

puglet

Hope it doesnt spread through out your family,Sprite

1:44 am

Glantarell

and i go to the US on 9th Oct

1:44 am

sprite

aw Glant... so sorry. Must have given you quite a scare. How is she doing now?

1:44 am

grannyrose

okaaa-aaay, sneezing not a good idea...* OUCH *

1:45 am

Glantarell

for 3 weeks. Hoping I feel confident enough about her health by then to enjoy the trip

1:45 am

sprite

oh dear... for how long, Glant?

1:45 am

Glantarell

she is doing fine but she is at stage 4 kidney disease

1:45 am

puglet

Hugs Giant--hope all comes out okay

1:45 am

sprite

ah, already told us. I hope she will be steady enough by then so you can go without worrying too much.

1:46 am

Glantarell

she was on the floor for 40 minutes before I found her, and another 2 hours before the paramedica arrived (we didn;t know it was heart, she was awake and alert)

1:46 am

sprite

that is long :(

1:46 am

Glantarell

yes, she was cold by the time they got her up

1:46 am

grannyrose

it's yucky, isn't it glant? and there isn't a lot you personally can do...i know...all i try to do is give her a well-balanced diet, and cross my fingers.

1:47 am

Glantarell

i just feel a bit helpless being so far away, and holding down a full time job means I can't visit daily as i'd like

1:47 am

sprite

when their time has come, there is nothing you can do. But both of you are making their lives until that point a lot better.

1:47 am

grannyrose

at 94, it's a bit late trying to te5 her new diet tricks....lol

1:48 am

Glantarell

my mum should be on a better diet but she has so little interest in food these days that i think eating anything is a bit of a bonus

1:48 am

grannyrose

poor glant....as don would say, so near, yet so far.

1:48 am

Glantarell

although i worry about her salt intake

1:48 am

Glantarell

mum's 79

1:49 am

sprite

respectable ages. Yes, easy on the salt is always good, but I can understand you being happy she is eating anything at all.

1:49 am

grannyrose

glant it usually isn't the sodium which is the problem..it's the potassium. do you have a list of high potassium foods to show her?

1:50 am

Glantarell

does she need ore potassium or less? and where would I get such a list?

1:50 am

grannyrose

we have a "low" salt over here. i was going to give it to mother mac. then i realised it was potassium chloride, not sodium chloride.

1:51 am

grannyrose

glant, try google or whichever search engine you use. if you don't find it, email me and i will send it to you.

1:52 am

sprite

pfui, past the halfway point. This is a decidedly wicked grid.

1:52 am

grannyrose

she needs much less potassium. chronic renal failure patients camnnot excrete potassium, and so it builds up in their blood.

1:52 am

Glantarell

does she need low potassium or high potassium rose?

1:52 am

Glantarell

thanks

1:53 am

grannyrose

yay, sprite, nice job. yes, it has teeth, dear

1:53 am

mab

bananas, acorn squash...

1:53 am

puglet

Sprite are you going alone today

1:55 am

grannyrose

1:55 am

sprite

1:56 am

mab

1:56 am

puglet

1:57 am

grannyrose

pugs, i tried to find your home on google maps. was there a fire around your home in the last few years?

1:57 am

sprite

1:58 am

grannyrose

1:58 am

puglet

1:59 am

mab

1:59 am

grannyrose

1:59 am

1:59 am

grannyrose

2:00 am

mab

2:00 am

sprite

what is the date of the google maps there, rose?

2:00 am

puglet

thats not me then---Ive lived here since I was 18

2:01 am

puglet

I live about five miles from a small town called Milroy

2:01 am

grannyrose

2:01 am

puglet

2:01 am

grannyrose

2:02 am

mab

i do wish our buses ran more frequently; the number of riders is low

2:02 am

sprite

indeed, mab. In the Netherlands, it is impossible to be more than 300 km away from anything.

2:02 am

puglet

I always wanted to take a trip by train

2:03 am

Glantarell

my new house is 4 minutes walk form the train station - bliss

2:03 am

puglet

are you sweating it out Rose

2:03 am

mab

i've always lived in big cities, until the last several years. i miss subways and cabs.

2:03 am

Glantarell

i used to live 40 minutes drive away form the station

2:03 am

sprite

oh how lovely, Glant. And the noise isn't bothering you?

2:03 am

grannyrose

yes, pugs, it's pouring off me...

2:03 am

2:04 am

Glantarell

2:04 am

Glantarell

2:04 am

puglet

2:04 am

sprite

2:12 am

puglet

2:12 am

puglet

2:12 am

grannyrose

hope you have a good one, glant

2:13 am

jillibus

Well, I'm *really* late this time -- had important (to me) arrangements to attend to before coming here. Old friend coming to Victoria for the weekend so I had to get out of bridge and stuff to see her and her family for maybe the last time.

2:14 am

puglet

Hi Jilli--why the last time

2:15 am

jillibus

Well, she's 88 and lives in Toronto -- I'm 86 and live on the west coast.

2:16 am

jillibus

She's coming here with her ailing hubby for her older sister's memorial.

2:18 am

jillibus

When I say "here" I mean Victoria -- not where I live, but I'm arranging to meet.

2:18 am

puglet

I hope you get to have a good visit and I really dont know what to say but I hope you both a very very long life ahead

2:18 am

jillibus

thanks, pug -- it can't be really long, but we'll take whatever we get, lol!

2:19 am

puglet

we none know when our number is up, age has nothing to do with that

2:20 am

grannyrose

so will i...jilli, take whatever you get...and i hope you live long enough to be a nuisance to your children...lol

2:22 am

flosey

falling asleep here, goodnight everyone

2:22 am

puglet

night Flosey

2:22 am

grannyrose

night, flosey, hope you have a sweet sleep

2:22 am

Lizlin

And I agree with that too! Night flosey. Sleep well.

2:23 am

jillibus

Oh, I'm already a nuisance to my one and only child -- my son! He just hit 65 -- unbelieveable. My very adult gandkids (2) are much more tolerant.

2:23 am

sprite

night flosey, hi jilli, I am back

2:24 am

grannyrose

yay, jilli, then you are right on target, dear

2:24 am

sprite

how can he even think you are a nuisance, jilli? You are wonderful! Wish you were my mother :(

2:24 am

jillibus

Gnight flosey -- and hi sprite -- glad you're back.

2:24 am

puglet

Back and already to go now Sprite

2:25 am

rururocks

Peeked at sprite while she was getting dressed

2:25 am

grannyrose

*naughty ruru*

2:25 am

rururocks

Skype can be wonderful :D

2:25 am

puglet

ruru is bad!

2:26 am

grannyrose

bet you got an eyeful.....* hysterical laughter*

2:26 am

sprite

lol ruru :D You wouldn't want to, I promise.

2:26 am

grannyrose

sprite, did you leave skype on? i've told you again and again...

2:27 am

sprite

all ready to go, pug. Just my wallet and my bag and off I go. May the rain stay away long enough for me to reach the train :)

2:27 am

rururocks

Two eyeful s

2:27 am

sprite

rose, how else can I incite lovely men to peek at me?

2:27 am

rururocks

Two eyeful s

2:27 am

grannyrose

now put them back in their sockets, ruru

2:27 am

sprite

easily two eyefuls. If you turned around at any moment, it was three.

2:28 am

jillibus

Oh thanks, sprite! I dealy love my son and we often get on well, but I seem to have a talent for saying the wrong thing and irritating him. Example -- he;s fine art photographer and today posted a beautiful and fascinating photo of a flock of waterbirds on a beach. I hinted that National Geographic might appreciate it. His reply was that a surgeon is not expected to perform for free, or words to that effect. My dear and very talented son earns no money with his art.

2:29 am

grannyrose

so that's two blue eyes, and a brown eye...right?

2:30 am

sprite

you got it, rose, lol

2:30 am

rururocks

Lol...hazel eyes

2:31 am

sprite

oh dear... well, if you get a chance, tell him I said he is darn well lucky to have you! And to have a mother who cares and is interested in him and all he does.

2:31 am

puglet

Jilli, I see nothing wrong in what you said to him at all

2:31 am

rururocks

Me neither jilli

2:32 am

jillibus

I have skype now but don't know how to use it -- and no camera on this desktop computer although there's one on the laptop which I never use. But oh goody, I've had messages for "General Petraeus" and some other "General"...

2:32 am

sprite

nothing at all. If he is that squeamish, he can send it to NG under a fake name :P

2:33 am

sprite

under Settings you can arrange you only get Skype from friends, jilli

2:33 am

sprite

off I go. Think of me, dear friends. *hugs*

Good luck

jillibus

I asked him how he can get sales to NG if he stays away from them. No reply. But poor guy -- he is hopeless at self-promotion and won't hear of getting an agent. I am to be silent.

2:36 am

jillibus

He says he is "not a fan" of NG.

2:36 am

puglet

not much else you can do Jilli if he wont take your advice to help himself

2:38 am

puglet

theres more then NG out there paying for photos

2:41 am

jillibus

Yet he gives away his work all the time -- building sets for his wife's school play productions, taking photos of her cast, all for free. He writes (briliiantly) reviews for photography magazines -- for no pay. His website is there for all to see (http://www.davidevansphotography.com/\n) for free. But he does have a point, that little credit is given to such art, and lots of people rather expect it to be available at no cost. Collectors of photographs are rare still.

2:42 am

jillibus

He is not into commercial photography.

2:42 am

rururocks

It sounds like he does n't give a flock jilli

2:44 am

jillibus

Oh, he does, very much, ruru. He cares very deeply. Just has no sales ability -- there's a reason in his past I won't go into here.

2:44 am

puglet

does he want pay for what he does or is it just a hobby he loves doing

2:44 am

rururocks

Waits for the groans

2:44 am

rururocks

Waits for the groans

2:47 am

jillibus

pug, it's not a hobby -- it's his passion and profession -- that's the point. I think he feels that submitting a photo to NG would label him as an amateur hobbyist, which he is not, He has been a teacher in a university workshop and had has several exhibitions and even has something in Canada's National Gallery.

2:48 am

jillibus

He has had a lot of very bad luck.

2:48 am

grannyrose

ruru, would groan if i understood, maybe it's a cultural joke/pun. you know i laugh/groan at your puns.

2:49 am

puglet

wow Jilli, thats something to be proud of to say the least. I understand where you are coming from.

2:50 am

jillibus

He also has an extremely high IQ as established by a top authority -- in the top 1%. Go figure. But there is a reason for his inability to use it --as I said, not for discussion here.

2:52 am

jillibus

Enough. He is my one and only and I love him and enjoy him and this doesn't belong here -- sorry.

2:54 am

jillibus

S

2:55 am

jillibus

Sorry, ru, didn't register your flocking punny remark.

2:55 am

grannyrose

okay, jilli....it's all fine

2:58 am

rururocks

I know where the high IQ came from

2:59 am

hellooo, joso. how is my *almost* main man? been swimming yet?

3:23 am

joso

oh yah, just too much bad food, like a kid after the fair. Sometimes it's hard to keep up the pretence of being a grownup

3:23 am

grannyrose

and what gives it away, joso?

3:24 am

joso

going on a junk food binge

3:24 am

grannyrose

that's not related to age, mate...

3:24 am

joso

especially as a diabetic

3:26 am

o-o

discipline

3:26 am

joso

maybe it's a low daftness quotient

3:27 am

puglet

was you wanting to make yourself sick on purpose,Joso

3:27 am

puglet

morning o-o

3:27 am

joso

hehehe, no, just wanted chips and ice cream

3:27 am

o-o

instant gratification came calling

3:28 am

grannyrose

BR, you know very well discipline is sometimes beyond our reach.

3:29 am

grannyrose

lucky you, joso. at least you are wanting something. at the moment, i desire nothing....not even himself. :(

3:30 am

joso

why not, pain?

3:31 am

grannyrose

that and this blessed virus...feel very low

3:31 am

puglet

Living alone Joso that kind of stuff could be dangerous

3:33 am

grannyrose

yeah, pugs...no-one to say...wait a minute...you know that you can't have it...then again....sometimes it is good to lash out a little. notice joso binged on potato crisps..not too deadly

3:33 am

joso

well it's past now pug. embarased to gather all this attention for just an upset tummy when there are people with serious problems

3:34 am

grannyrose

awww,bl;ess you, joso. you have probs the same as the rest of us. accept our support, mate.

3:34 am

joso

3:36 am

puglet

Rose is there alot of people with that virus there about you

3:36 am

grannyrose

don't know, pugs. i guess we may be among the first.

3:37 am

grannyrose

it's a strange time of year for a virus to rear it's ugly head.

3:37 am

puglet

we got a measel outbreak here right now

3:41 am

joso

have you had measels pug

3:42 am

puglet

I dont remember, Joso--I know I had the mumps and chickenpox as a kid

3:43 am

joso

yea, i had those as a kid too, loved it, get to stay home from school and people bring you comic books, lol

3:46 am

puglet

I remember having to stay in a dark room but dont know what I had during that time.But my mom was in bed too with whatever it was

3:48 am

joso

ah, not the same thing without a mom to reassure, sorry pug. My mom was a nurse so immune to much

3:49 am

Dianne

pug - you must have had red measles.

3:50 am

grannyrose

i had chicken pox as a kid. i remeber my mum closing off the doorway to my room with a "gate" to stop my baby brother from getting them...didn't work. lol

3:51 am

puglet

It could of been--too long ago and I was too young to remember much, we are talking 50* years ago

3:52 am

grannyrose

it was around easter time, and she put all my easter eggs in a beautiful cut-crystal bowl on my dressing table. it was months later, when she missed her bowl, that we realised where it was.

3:53 am

puglet

and where was it?

3:53 am

joso

luck you didn't break it in the mean time

3:53 am

joso

or you brothers

3:53 am

grannyrose

on my dressing table. she thought it was at her mother's. we searched our house upside-down looking for it.

3:54 am

grannyrose

lol...yeah, joso..at that time there was only the one...

3:55 am

puglet

do you have halloween there too

3:55 am

grannyrose

i wasn't allowed to eat a lot of chocolate at once. she thought i was allergic to it...

3:56 am

grannyrose

so the easter eggs lasted a loo-oong time.

3:56 am

joso

how spaced out are your siblings. i came along, next bro next year, and the last 2 years after that. there was a period where we where mistake for triplets

3:57 am

grannyrose

4:00 am

puglet

were you a tomboy growing up or a girly girl

4:00 am

rubyfoo

My friend, Deanne, is one of 12! Two sets of twins and one set of triplets, plus the others. And her mother, at 88, still plays golf. However, her father, who must have been tired, passed away a couple of years ago

4:00 am

grannyrose

nah, was a tomboy..climbed trees, walked through creek beds..

4:01 am

grannyrose

lol, ruby...i bet he was tired

rubyfoo

4:02 am

grannyrose

friend of mine has had babe number 11...

4:02 am

joso

our youngest was supposed to be a girl, mom and dad felt they'd done the boy thing by then. didn't even pick out a boy's name for fear of jinxing it. boy did he suffer when we found out he was supposed to be nataly elisabeth.

4:03 am

grannyrose

awww, poor man

4:03 am

puglet

I got five sisters alive and two sister and two brothers that died as infants

4:05 am

joso

just a kid at the time, now his soft spot is the fact that he grows hair on the tip if his nose and has to neet it.

4:10 am

joso

so you both have much larger families than I

4:11 am

grannyrose

aww, joso, we are part of your family now...no matter what happens.

4:13 am

puglet

I think a brother would be nice to have

4:13 am

rubyfoo

not me, I have one sister. She and I both married only sons and had only sons. Only sons are no joke!

4:13 am

grannyrose

i'll swap you, pugs.

4:13 am

rubyfoo

and I did it twice!

4:13 am

puglet

okay Rose

4:13 am

rubyfoo

4:14 am

rubyfoo

4:15 am

rubyfoo

Husband is driving me crazy

4:15 am

Rose, when is your next visit to the doctor for your leg

4:20 am

grannyrose

not til the 1st of october. am hoping to hear from workcover insurers before then

4:21 am

puglet

thats not far off and work seems to be dragging their feet on this

4:22 am

joso

I'm wondering how mother mac and your sister-in-law are getting on. I have a wee mischievous side. any news from there?

4:28 am

grannyrose

strangely, no, joso. my guess my SIL is getting the run around. she is bringing her mother over for her social group tomorrow...

4:30 am

grannyrose

pugs, workcover are trying to make out this current injury is at least 50% because i had a total knee replacement. compleyely forgetting the wet floor, with no warning signs out.

4:32 am

puglet

doning whatever to not make it right is what it sounds like. Hope you dont settle for that

4:35 am

grannyrose

no way, pugs. am fighting this...

4:35 am

joso

sheesh, sounds like insurance, public or private, lots of promises going in, don't answer the phone when it's time to collect. And it's naturally when you least want to fight that they put up these barriers.

4:36 am

lynxxx

Good evening all

4:36 am

puglet

4:36 am

hi lynx

4:36 am

lynxxx

4:37 am

puglet

good Rose--stand your ground on this--it wasent you at fault

4:37 am

grannyrose

yeah joso. as one of our senior supervisors said...she sees casa after case go through on workcover...and when it is one of our employees, they drag their butt.

4:38 am

grannyrose

absolutely, according to the workcover doctor. haven't heard anything since that appointment last thursday.

4:40 am

puglet

How are you Lyn

4:40 am

grannyrose

i had practically recovered from my total knee replacement...but if they want a fight...i will claim the tkr as a workcover injury. the heirarchy are forgetting i can still do that...

4:40 am

grannyrose

i am well within the 7 year limitation...

4:41 am

joso

what is the tkr?

4:41 am

grannyrose

Total Knee Replacement...

4:41 am

lynxxx

4:42 am

lynxxx

4:42 am

puglet

same here with me Lyn

4:44 am

grannyrose

joso, i had 2 lots of surgery on my LEFT ankle due to a strerssfracrure which occurred at work. this caused me to favour the left ankle, and put more stress on the RIGHT knee. it wore out, bone on bone. i paid for the replacement myself.but if " they " want a fight...

4:44 am

grannyrose

lyn, my ex DIL is a medical lawyer.

4:46 am

joso

Duke Senior:
Sweet are the uses of adversity,
Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;
And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in every thing.

7:15 am

When Burger King decided to sell fast-food Down Under, they found that there was already a local carry-out restaurant called â€œBurger King.â€ As a result, if youâ€™re looking for a Whopper in Australia today, youâ€™ll have to go to a chain called â€œHungry Jackâ€™s.â€

7:15 am

MollyL

Oh, and where WOULD we all be without Facebook fashion advice?

7:15 am

Trifioso

not wearing tall boots, molly

7:16 am

Lizlin

Absolutely true, Crossy. I found that out when I moved here and saw the logo, so googled it!

7:16 am

Trifioso

that is interesting crossy - Im so jaded Im surprised they didn't do the "corporate thing" and muscle the other company out of busienss

I never know what time it is as every clock in the house has a different time

7:59 am

Anniebrook

(((ruby)))

7:59 am

JBV

Hi ruby, must be about 3:00 your time : )

8:00 am

JBV

9:00 am here

8:00 am

JBV

8:57 exactly

8:01 am

JBV

I only have one clock in the house that's correct (besides the computer)

8:01 am

Anniebrook

my cable box always has the correct time.

8:01 am

JBV

right, Annie

8:01 am

JBV

right, Annie

8:02 am

JBV

we've had several minor power failures here and I never bother to reset the clocks

8:02 am

JBV

on the subject, does anyone still wear a watch? I haven't worn one in years - never needed it at work, and now, not at all

8:02 am

72 Temple Owl

hello all. hi jbv

8:02 am

Anniebrook

Name that proper noun...Middle Eastern country in the news now

8:03 am

JBV

ruby's off, setting her clocks : )

8:03 am

Anniebrook

I still wear a watch, am lost w/o it

8:03 am

JBV

hi, TO!

8:03 am

Anniebrook

Hi Owl

8:03 am

72 Temple Owl

hi anniw

8:04 am

rubyfoo

my husband needed a new cheapo watch with the day, date and time. Mistakenly, I sent him off to a department store to buy one and he came back with a 398 euro fancy watch.

8:04 am

mael

syria

8:05 am

Anniebrook

ding ding ding!!

8:05 am

rubyfoo

Enfuriated, I went back to the store and got our money back. I think the saleswoman took advantage of his deafness and poor French.

8:05 am

72 Temple Owl

jbv, weather is ni4 for a trip to paterson falls.

8:06 am

rubyfoo

should that have been INfuriated?

8:06 am

rubyfoo

I'mlosing my English

8:06 am

Anniebrook

be back soon

8:06 am

JBV

you know, I've never been there TO .....

8:06 am

JBV

you know, I've never been there TO .....

8:06 am

rubyfoo

or my marbles

8:06 am

JBV

yes, infuriated, but Ruby, bravo to you for being able to speak French in anger

8:06 am

JBV

yes, infuriated, but Ruby, bravo to you for being able to speak French in anger

8:06 am

JBV

that's a high level of skill

8:07 am

72 Temple Owl

good for you, ruby.

8:07 am

rubyfoo

I was very quiet but scared the saleswoman anyway. I think she'd be fired for that in the US!

8:07 am

rubyfoo

He was very upset, so I bought him a sweater.

8:08 am

JBV

: )

8:08 am

rubyfoo

I think I speak much more French now than English unless my sister calls me

8:08 am

JBV

you can buy a ball point pen with a watch on it these days - no one needs a 400 euro watch

8:09 am

72 Temple Owl

8:10 am

8:10 am

Good day to all.

72 Temple Owl

hi scrabs.

8:10 am

JBV

hi Scrabbler!

8:11 am

Scrabbler

Buon giorno, mia amica!

8:11 am

rubyfoo

Sometimes I do, but it depends on the cast of characters, frequently actors from films or TV. Luckily for everybody, I never remember my dreams as I know how boring other people's dreams are

8:11 am

rubyfoo

hello scrabs

8:12 am

JBV

my own dreams are not boring : )

8:12 am

rubyfoo

hahah

8:12 am

Scrabbler

I have a very vivid, detailed dream life. I call it the Lynda Channel.

8:12 am

rubyfoo

I have a lot of dreams about dead loved ones -- they always make me happy

8:12 am

JBV

me too scrabbler -

8:13 am

rubyfoo

Do either of you write them down?

8:13 am

JBV

it's interesting to see the patterns in dreams - what you're really thinking

8:13 am

JBV

yes, ruby, I started doing that when I was a young child, stopped for many many years and started doing it again

8:13 am

JBV

I find it very useful

8:14 am

Scrabbler

I do not write them down. I should. I have a recurring dream about living in a particular house.

8:14 am

rubyfoo

What's your method of remembering them. Mine evanesce immediately

8:14 am

JBV

don't wake up immediately - linger in the dream state

8:14 am

JBV

don't wake up immediately - linger in the dream state

8:14 am

Scrabbler

And once I had a dream of the most beautiful church. I want to visit it again.

8:14 am

JBV

keep a pad next to the bed

8:14 am

rubyfoo

I think writing them down is a wonderful thing to do, mostly for yourself

8:14 am

Scrabbler

Lucid dreaming is something I have done since childhood.

8:15 am

rubyfoo

Sometimes I wake up laughing, having heard a joke in the dream, but never remember

8:15 am

JBV

of course, ruby - no one else would want to read it - probably have to censor some of them : )

8:15 am

JBV

better than crying

8:16 am

rubyfoo

I love when I dream about my long-deceased mother or gransmother

8:16 am

JBV

yes, they come right back to you -

8:18 am

72 Temple Owl

12:41 pm

hurshy

but they were asking about his appetite so now i'm feeling all anxious about that too and waiting for him to go eat

12:42 pm

Nef

I know! But it seems as though even drinking a river never seemed to quench my thirst when I had it last spring. And stud; do you think that the te5ing is what exposed you to the viruses? I've been told the first years of te5ing and the first years of attending school are when a person is sicker than any other time in their lives.

11:25 pm

grannyrose

throw them at him....

11:26 pm

stidmama

I am CERTAIN it was the kids... one of them was absent four days last week with the first virus I had (it was worse than this one). Not sure which little darlin' shared the current one with me.
