The nibbles were hard to do because my old Mixmaster is dead and my hand mixer couldn't manage the dough so I had to do a lot by spoon.

It's good to be home again.
1:30 am

I bet! Glad you made it home safe and sound
1:30 am
grannyrose
hey ya miz pugs, liz
1:30 am
puglet
My computer was acting up yesterday so I hope it behaves today
1:30 am
Lizlin
Hey Rose - elbowed Rollin for you last night!
1:34 am
grannyrose
oh, gosh...what did she say?
1:34 am
Lizlin
She laughed of course!
1:35 am
grannyrose
pugs, how has your day been, hun
1:36 am
grannyrose
yeah, we were chatting earlier. she is gonna let us know next time, so that we can organise a babble meet.
1:36 am
puglet
things not too good Rose--got a call from the doctor on sisters blood test---over 500 on her sugar! So today I have to take her to the hospital for another test
1:36 am
Lizlin
That sound good, Rose. It wasn't the right time this time.
1:37 am
Lizlin
It was good to have the chance to catch up with Melbourne family and the weather was wonderful?
1:37 am
puglet
but her meter at home shows in the hundred twenty range
1:37 am
grannyrose
oh, pugs...:( that is not good...does she need admission to stabilise?
1:37 am
Lizlin
Sorry about the q mark!
1:38 am
Lizlin
Oh pugs! Sorry about that news!
1:38 am
puglet
they didnt say so
1:38 am
puglet
but Iam taking her home meter with us for them to test it there at the hospital
1:38 am
grannyrose
praying for you both, hun. maybe her machine needs calibrating?
1:39 am
grannyrose
lolol...pugs you are so on the ball.
1:39 am
puglet
we just got this one a few months ago
1:40 am
puglet
we've been down this road a few times---her sugar always testes high at the doctors office
1:40 am
grannyrose
hmmm, at work, every time we open a new packet of test strips, we have to re-calibrate. and then we do it again once/week to make sure calibration is holding.
1:41 am
puglet
I will try that Rose, if this meter is okay
1:42 am
grannyrose
the other issue could be the puncture site. if her hands aren't clean, or if the nurse/doctor has not allowed the alcohol from swab to evaporate fully, you will get a false high.
1:43 am
grannyrose
just make sure you take her current test strips with you, plus her calibration strip.
1:44 am
puglet
like I said as soon as I got off the phone with the nurse we took her sugar and it showed 127(this was after dinner) but her morning reading before meds and eating was 220
1:45 am
puglet
okay will do
1:45 am

1:52 am
puglet
guess we all are heading to the doctors--lol
1:53 am
joso
sounds rough for MIL, is she happy to be back at home?
1:53 am
sprite
rose, darn it, do you really have to say garlic chicken even before I have breakfast? Now I am drooling and my protein shake doesn't look inviting anymore! :)
1:53 am
sprite
you as well, pug? For yourself or your sister?
1:54 am
Lizlin
Must admit it sounds lovely, Rose. Just imagine sprite!
1:54 am
puglet
sister Sprite
1:54 am
grannyrose
when she walks it hurts so much...explains why she is moving so slowly. and today i noticed her carers have allowed dirt to build up in her belly-buton. it's like a giant blackhead. going to soak it in baby oil overnight, and hopefully clean it out tomorrow.
1:54 am
joso
when does a protein shake ever look inviting
1:54 am
sprite
ok pug. Glad you are okay
1:55 am
sprite
oh it usually does, joso. Mine is very very tasty. I make it with soja milk and a banana.
1:55 am
grannyrose
lolol. sprite, of course it does dear. just take a deep breath, and swallow
1:55 am
Lizlin
That's awful Rose - those carers are not doing their job!
1:55 am
joso
more power to you sprite
1:55 am
sprite
oh dear, how careless of them, rose.
1:55 am
sprite
rose... I think that is the first time a woman told me that!
1:56 am
sprite
thanks joso :) And since I don't have any garlic chicken available, a shake it is and no messing.
1:56 am
grannyrose
liz, it's what i do...observe....but it's not their mother, so why should they care? it's just typical of the thought process which goes on.
1:57 am
grannyrose
roflol...SPRITE!!!...
1:57 am
sprite
omg... if that is their thought process, they are in the wrong job. Of course they should care! It is a himan being in their care!
1:57 am
Lizlin
That really upsets me. It may be a job but the clue is in the name. CARE!
1:57 am
sprite
amen, Liz.
1:57 am
grannyrose
sprite, they simply cannot put MIL into the same frame as their own mothers...
1:58 am
puglet
Rose, my girlfriend called me last night and she fell outside the hospital and cracked her knee cap--and she had knee replacements a few years ago. Now they think she is to have to have it redone---sound kind of like you huh?
1:58 am
joso
neglect in long term care facilities is far too common
1:58 am
sprite
well, in my case that would be a benefit, grin. But anyway, they don't have to think of her as a mother. Just a human being should be enough to make them care.
1:58 am
sprite
oh dear, pug... so sorry. Yes, sounds too much like our rose.
1:59 am
grannyrose
it's like her cleaner who comes in every fortnight. i had to tell her to clean the table...UNDER...MIL's place mat...
1:59 am
Lizlin
I guess I wear Rose ti4ed glasses
1:59 am
Lizlin
No pun intended
1:59 am
grannyrose
aww, pugs. *sad face for your friend*
2:00 am
sprite
jeezzz lazybones! Makes you want to sit there and watch them do it, doesn't it?
2:00 am
grannyrose
joso, why do you think i went ballistic when the doctors in the hospital told MIL she would get better care in a nursing home?
2:01 am
puglet
those kind of things is why I hate to put my sister into others to care for
2:01 am
grannyrose
absolutely, sprite
2:01 am
sprite
pug and rose, I totally understand you. So sad.
2:02 am
grannyrose
pugs, i beg you, hold out for as long as you can...a nursing home is not the answer.
2:02 am
joso
hehehehe, because you like going ballistic and are always looking for an excuse.... ;-O
2:02 am
puglet
I know Rose!
2:03 am
grannyrose
*chuckling* joso, very funny, mate....not
2:03 am

evil, joso :)

I worked in one and the things that goes on behind closed doors is not very good
2:04 am

pugs, hang in there, sweetie. i know how difficult it is...but the alternative is not good.
2:04 am
joso
oh oh, the harem is getting uppity
2:04 am

{{jbp}} hello hun...just a lot
2:05 am
sprite
when I was studying physical therapy, ages back, I had to... what is the word... work for a while in one of those nursing homes without pay, to see how things went and to help where I could. I cried so much. Got an A for the report... couldn't bear to see how people were treated there. And not just because of laziness. Also because of being understaffed and overworked.
2:05 am
joso
yea, when I was taking care of dad he asked if he should go to a home, squelched that fast
2:05 am
jbp
were there zany antics?
2:06 am
sprite
pug, you are doing so much good for your sister. You are amazing. Told you before and will keep telling you until you realise it is true.
2:06 am
puglet
I will Rose--I can care for her much better than the nursing home
2:06 am
grannyrose
only ruru doing a back-flip....
2:06 am

too true, rose. Amazing, that work so important is valued so low.

jbp
indeed. nursing staff and teachers... no one who helps folks earns enough
2:09 am
puglet
sorry guys my computer is acting up again:(---if its not one thing its another
2:10 am
sprite
crazy, isn't it? In native american tribes, the medicine man or woman was payed in goods by each and every member of the tribe, so that they could spent all their energy on helping them and not having to hunt.
2:10 am
sprite
poor pug :( Can we help?
2:10 am
joso
yes pug, one of the things I admire greatly about you, how well you take care of your sister
2:10 am
puglet
thanks guys for the encouragment----whenever we have a problem with her sugar numbers the first thing the doc wants is to put her in a home
2:10 am
sprite
amen, joso
2:11 am
Lizlin
I think you are all amazing. You all have so much to cope with.
2:12 am
sprite
like you don't, Liz. You are just as amazing.
2:12 am
puglet
my computer just shuts off out of the blue--just had it at the shop last week for this and several times last year and it nevers does this there---I think they think Iam making it up
2:12 am
sprite
pug, he is of his rocker. You and she are doing so well with the sugar. It is just that hard to keep it level.
2:13 am
Lizlin
I have an easy life. I'm so lucky. But thanks sprite!
2:13 am
sprite
pug, it might be time to clean out the ventilator. And to run a check for a virus or malware.
2:13 am
joso
that is normaly an overheating problem pug
2:13 am
puglet
Ive done all that Sprite!
2:14 am
sprite
hm, not good. Is it a laptop or a normal computer?
2:14 am
puglet
then why dosent it ever do it at the shop?
2:14 am
puglet
no its a desk top
2:14 am
sprite
maybe because they don't use it, just let it run for a while.
2:15 am
puglet
it can goes weeks or days or hours or minutes to have theses fits
2:15 am
sprite
ok, you could try keeping the box open. See if it cools enough then.
2:15 am
joso
are any of the vents obscured?
2:15 am
puglet
Ive told him all this and they even ran it over the whole week end and no problems
2:17 am
puglet
no Joso, and I keep it cool in this room, I even tried putting a small fan blowing on it and it still takes these fits
2:17 am
sprite
very frustrating, pug :(
2:18 am
puglet
I even had them to check the on and off button to see if it might have a short--and it didnt
2:18 am
joso
well, you are doing all the right things, is the power to your home steady?
2:18 am
puglet
I know Sprite
2:19 am
puglet
Joso, it never shuts off the monitor--just the tower
2:19 am
joso
monitor is not that sensitive
2:20 am
rururocks
Maybe it is having hot flashes
2:20 am
puglet
when I dont use the computer I shut it down--should I leave it on all the time
2:20 am
sprite
hey ruru :)
2:20 am
puglet
that sounds more like it RURU
2:21 am
sprite
no, you can safely shut it down when you don't use it, that shouldn't make a difference
2:21 am
joso
no, shut it down once a day for at least 4 hours, bad to turn computers on and off frequently, and bad to keep them running,
2:24 am
puglet
okay--I do usually shut it down after morning babbling and dont restart until the next day--I figure no since in giving the electric company any more money then ness. lol
2:24 am
sprite
true, pug. No problem there.
2:26 am
joso
there is a power surge when you turn on electrical things, the surge that causes old light bulbs to blow when you switch them on, that is bad for computers, but leaving them on all the time causes heat problems, good for them to thoroughly cool down once a day.
2:26 am
puglet
but Joso might be on to something about the power thing. I do have the monitor and the tower plugged into a plug box that plugs into the wall
2:28 am
joso
you might try a good surge protector, one that comes with a warranty for the equipment plunged into it, it will stop surge problems, but no help for brownout issues.
2:29 am
puglet
and I do live in a housetrailer and they dont use the best of products and plus they have too many plugs on the same curicut too---cause we have had problems before with other things knocking out the fuse on the outside main box
2:29 am
joso
the cheap 10$ powerbars say they are surge protectors, but not very good at it.
2:29 am
sprite
ok, I have to go, maybe see you later. *hugs* to you all and have a lovely evening/day.
2:30 am
puglet
I will check into that Joso
2:30 am
puglet
bye Sprite--enjoy your outing--hugs
2:31 am
joso
bye sprite, have a good day
2:32 am
joso
ah, you might try turning off anything you don't need that is on the same circuit too pugs
2:34 am
puglet
Iam not that equip on electric stuff, but the box I got my computer plugged into has a red light and if like lighting hits its suppose to kick off to keep from harming things or overheating(is this what you are talking about? Joso
2:38 am
joso
yes, but if it is a cheap one they frequently don't work well, and the others are not that expensive, 25-40 bucks the last time I looked. they come with a warranty that pays you if anything plunged into it fails due to power problems, very good at steadying out power flow and surge protection.
2:40 am
puglet
thanks Joso, I will look into one. This one I have was gave to me so I dont know too much about it.Ive had it for several years
2:42 am
puglet
I know too that this one has a very heavy cord(much heavier than others we have in the house)
2:42 am
joso
it might be a good one, you could look for some sort of product number on it, plug the number into google and see if you can find out more about it.
2:42 am
puglet
okay, will do that
2:44 am
joso
just trying to think of environmental causes for difficulties, as it works fine elsewhere, but not here
2:46 am
puglet
last year I put all new cords on the computer and monitor and that never solved a thing--and like I said you never know when its going to do it
2:47 am
puglet
I feel ashame to keep taking it in to the shop and they never find anything wrong. So its got to be here and you may just have solved it with the power thing
2:48 am
joso
fingers crossed
2:49 am
puglet
I wish my cord was longer on the tower to plug it directly into the outlet
2:49 am
puglet
do they make longer ones
2:50 am
joso
better to run through a bad surge protector than no surge protector
2:51 am
puglet
okay---thanks for your help Joso
2:52 am
grannyrose
anyone want my headache? himself has lolled around all day, with me running attendance on him and his mother. fortunately, SIL is here. just gave her a frozen dinner to heat for MIL's dinner..forgive me, but am going to cry...
2:53 am
puglet
ahh Rose--sending healing vibs your way
2:53 am
joso
unless the surge protector is faulty, maybe try bypassing it
2:53 am
joso
ah rose, nothing wrong with a good cry
2:53 am
grannyrose
i just want someone to take care of me...i am so fed up with being the strong one.
2:54 am
puglet
Joso, I think I will invest in a new one and take your advise on getting a good one
2:55 am
joso
if nothing else a crying jag will likely put Fang at sea
2:55 am
puglet
I know that feeling Rose--holding you in a big bear hug! Since I cant be there asked Him to hold you and give you the comfort only he can give
2:56 am
grannyrose
thanx pugs, joso, she has the hide of a rhinoceros...
2:56 am
joso

2:58 am
puglet

2:59 am
puglet
Joso, hows the job hunting going? any luck
3:00 am

3:02 am
grannyrose

3:02 am
grannyrose
pugs, SIL now knowa better than to try that...lol
3:03 am
puglet
Ive never lived in a city---but I think it would be very different from country living
3:03 am
puglet
well some people are overbearing and I was just wondering
3:04 am
joso
yes, very different
3:05 am
puglet
so much more to do and places to go--have you alway been a city dweller Joso
3:05 am
joso
eg, when i was downtown most things were within easy walking distance,
3:05 am
grannyrose
pugs, SIL is quite a strong personality...but since i turned 60, i have discovered an inner strength i didn't know i had...my opinion counts...
3:06 am
puglet
thats good Rose---:)
3:07 am
grannyrose
absolutely, pugs, re country living. for example your nearest grocery store is not just around the corner, and neither is your doctor/access to health care.
3:07 am
joso
yes, all the movies are playing somewhere in range, wide rang of pubs and bars, opera, plays, and roses fav ballet
3:07 am
puglet
are you in a city too Rose
3:08 am
grannyrose
oooh, tutu territory
3:08 am
grannyrose
pugs, in the outer suburbs. still have a hospital just around the corner, and doctor is only 3 minutes away.
3:09 am
puglet
that all sounds like a movie stars life
3:10 am
puglet
we have no plays or anything like that close--would have to go to the state capital to see any of that stuff
3:10 am
joso
art studios, 3 zoos, museums. We have the batta shoe museum here, women seem to like that one
3:10 am
grannyrose
we live about 40km/about 25 miles from the CBD
3:11 am
puglet
and theres so much crime there I dont go there
3:11 am
grannyrose
train at the end of our street takes us straight into melbourne central
3:12 am
joso
I've never been mugged or assaulted.
3:12 am
puglet
ooh how nice! I would like train traveling
3:13 am
grannyrose
and we have a freeway link which takes about 20 minutes to get us from our home into the centre of melbourne.
3:13 am
puglet

3:13 am
grannyrose

3:16 am
dizgrannie

3:16 am
dizgrannie

3:17 am
dizgrannie
ohh derr
3:18 am
joso

3:18 am
puglet
Its been about fifteen years since Ive heard from her so I dont know how things are with them. I havent moved and so far shes not made any contact and I just leave it at that

3:22 am
puglet
Thanks, I will give it a try
3:23 am
joso
yes, she might need a friend, severing ties to friends, then family are signs of the controlling type that frequently are wife beaters.
3:23 am
dizgrannie
Idid it a few yrs back with FB and we are closer now....BUT...that doesn't yours will end up the same
3:24 am
grannyrose
ditto from me, pugs...sometimes a past friend is so grateful for contact. at least you know you tried.
3:24 am
o-o
People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange
3:25 am
joso
and if she is cool towards the contact, such is life, nothing lost.
3:25 am
grannyrose
awww, will always remember you, mate...
3:25 am

la de da da da, la de da da, ooo it's going to run in my head for a while
3:29 am
rubyfoo
My feeling about contacting old friends with whom you've lost touch, and that goes for cousins, too, is that after too much time hS PASSED, THERE IS LITTLE TO SHARE OF THINGS IN COMMON, AND IT JUST HURTS.
3:29 am
rubyfoo
I AM HAPPIER WITH FRIENDS I've MADE IN THE PAST 15 YEARS.
3:29 am
puglet
Rose, I take it you are not feeding MIL--lol
3:29 am

I've TRIED IT WITH LONG-LOST COUSINS, FOR EXAMPLE, AND IT HAS NEVER WORKED. aND OLD BOYFRIENDS ALL LOOK LIKE MONKEYS NOW! LOL

Hello, sprite

*giggles* I think we all look more and more like monkeys when we grow older.
3:32 am
joso
did the doc give you a lollypop for being good sprite
3:32 am
puglet
I know what you are talking about Ruby. We were never real close to rel. on our mother side of the family. But now and then I runacross one on fb and we got nothing to talk about--too much time has passed
3:32 am
o-o
well, beauty IS in the eyes of the beholder
3:32 am
rubyfoo
here are some good examples" sprite, rose and puglet (joso, too): I prefer each of them to any old friends except for one girlfriend whom I have know for 48 years, but our contact, although we live very far apart, has always been steady
3:32 am
puglet
That was a fast trip Sprite! Glad you are back
3:32 am
sprite
no lollypop and I was SO good :(
3:33 am
rubyfoo
I don't looklike a monkey, more like an old chicken
3:33 am
sprite
true, o-o. When a monkey looks at me, he thinks: What an ugly monkey.
3:33 am
sprite
pug: yes it is nearby, about 15 mins on the bike. And in and out, just a shot.
3:34 am
rubyfoo
Rose and her motorcycle transportation!!!! That is one brave lady

3:34 am

when not looking into a mirror, I dont see that person that is looking back
3:38 am
sprite
when I look into a mirror, the person in it is looking away ;)
3:38 am
rubyfoo
it's the damned magnifiying mirror that gets you every time, pugs. But without it, eye makeup would probably go onmy nose
3:39 am
o-o
I am unconcerned about how I look ... since I do not have to look.
3:40 am
puglet
the person inside my head is not the person in the mirror
3:40 am
sprite
I don't do makeup. And if people hate my looks, they are welcome to direct their eyes somewhere else.
3:41 am
rubyfoo
sosmetimes I even feel young, until I look in the mirror
3:41 am
puglet
me too Ruby
3:41 am
rubyfoo
I a so pale that I look like I'm dead already, just haven't fallen over yet
3:41 am
puglet
I wear a little going to town
3:41 am
sprite
good. Don't look in that mirror while feeling young. The way you feel is much more correct about you than any mirror could be
3:42 am
joso
never touch it myself
3:42 am
grannyrose
when i look in a mirror...i wonder...just what does DH see? i know it isn't my physical attributes...
3:42 am
rubyfoo
maybe it's the blue butt, rosie....lol
3:42 am
sprite
uh-oh joso. You errr... you do know that you won't go blind or get hair on your hands, right? That nowadays they say it is errrl.... healthy?

3:44 am
grannyrose
oh, dear, spritey...only you could answer joso like that...
3:44 am
o-o
The theory that inanimate objects demonstrate hostile behavior toward us.
3:44 am
sprite
ah. "seemingly spiteful behavior manifested by inanimate objects"
3:44 am
joso
my spy reports that there does seem to be some sort of physical attraction there rose
3:44 am

3:44 am

3:47 am
grannyrose
LOLOLO..o-o...DH says he has noticed that inanimate objects have developed an aptitude to do their own thing...i.e. flip out of his fingers, refuse to be picked up...or...scariest of all...fall onto the floor...with no-one within physical range...

It's fine in here, but I greatly fear you'll let in the cold and storm—
Since I left Plumtree, down in Tennessee, it's the first time I've been warm."

Now I know where that word comes from.
4:41 am

mmmm.potato pancakes
6:04 am
Lizlin
Almost latke time!
6:04 am
rubyfoo
I am about latkes the way crossy is about bacon; just slather on the sour cream. I even make them with sweet potATOES
6:05 am
Lizlin
Sounds good - I just make them savoury!
6:05 am
wvteach
like mine with applesauce - but sweet potatoes sound good
6:05 am
rubyfoo
mine are bland, just the way I like 'em
6:05 am
Lizlin
Yes - but wish I'd asked my mum for her recipe!
6:06 am
crosshair
went to our first flu shot clinic yesterday at our local dr,s office.4 drs operate out of that clinic and i swear ,even though we arrive 30 minutes early,there had to be 300 people there.there had 8 people giving the shots non stop
6:06 am
crosshair
oooohhhh! sweet potato latkes!
6:06 am
Lizlin
Has winter set in already Crossy?
6:06 am
Scrabbler
Wow. How long did you have to wait?
6:07 am
o-o
no onions ... just guacamole, vegemite, peanut butter and horseradish
6:07 am
rubyfoo
my mother never had a food processor, used to grate the potatoes by hand
6:07 am
crosshair
they had an assembly line set up going and they moved us along at a good clip.so we were in and out in about 20 min
6:07 am
Lizlin
My mum too! Food processor makes life much easier and saves on the added flavour of grated finger!
6:07 am
rubyfoo
my grandmother actually made her own horseradish, had to do it on the fire escape
6:07 am
crosshair
it is the old lady knuckle meat that gives them the authentic taste,ruby
6:08 am
Scrabbler
Quite a combo, o-o
6:08 am
Scrabbler
Hahaha, crossy.
6:08 am
Lizlin
We grow horseradish - hoping it'll be ready to use next year!
6:08 am
rubyfoo
and the blood, of course, but then they'd be tref lol
6:08 am
rubyfoo
does it grow like a radish liz?
6:09 am
crosshair
there are just as many people behind us in line as well so when we were done and left,there still seems to be 300 people or so
6:09 am
Lizlin
Not sure how a radish grows - but it has large leaves and you need to take off side roots, so the central root thickens.
6:09 am
crosshair
for the most part,us canucks do not mess around when it comes to flu shots.get it!!
6:10 am
Lizlin
Makes sense. We also get flu shots.
6:10 am
rubyfoo
<-- never had a flu shot (or flue, for that matter), but I only go out for lunch and wash my hands in a very OCD way, all the time
6:11 am
rubyfoo
or even flu* have a flue,though
6:11 am
crosshair

I get a pneumonia shot too
6:12 am
crosshair
do not forget the borneo jungle fungus shot o-o
6:12 am
Scrabbler
And take vitamin D! 5000 IU/day. Vitamin D is so crucial to our health.
6:12 am
crosshair
i promise,scrabby
6:13 am
crosshair
i find the Jaemeson brand of vitamins really kick butt!
6:13 am
rubyfoo
I've found the only milk here with added D. The Fr don't get it.....and don't drink much milk, either, hence their bad teeth
6:13 am
rubyfoo
I didn't know there was a pneumonia shot. I thought that there were too many types
6:14 am
Scrabbler
We are the only species that drinks another species' milk. Cow milk is overrated.
6:14 am
Scrabbler
Pneumovax covers 20+ strains of pneumococcus.
6:15 am
crosshair
goat milk is interesting but i do not care for the aftetaste
6:15 am
Scrabbler
I have never tried goat milk.
6:15 am
rubyfoo
I just like it and drink a lot. It is possible to get unpasteurized mil, too, but that is a little too scary for me
6:15 am
Scrabbler
I agree, ruby.
6:16 am
rubyfoo
it tastes better, though
6:16 am
crosshair
here,the farmers get spanked for trying to sell unpastuized milk
6:16 am
rubyfoo
the best milk I've found here is sterilized whole milk with D added. I boil it for my morning coffee
6:17 am
rubyfoo
there are only 2 places to get the unpasteurized product an I think it's against the law here,too
6:17 am
Scrabbler
Dairy farmers drink raw milk and then we see their kids get bacterial enteritis with bloody diarrhea.
6:17 am
crosshair
people get around the law by teaming up in a group and "buying" a cow and "sharing" the milk
6:18 am
crosshair
well,that is def one good reason not to do it,scrabbs!
6:18 am
rubyfoo
can you get listeria from unpasteurized milk
6:18 am
Scrabbler
Campylobacter and E. coli. Barns and cows are germ-infested!
6:19 am
Scrabbler
Listeria is in some cheeses.
6:19 am
crosshair
i find it too rich anyways,especially if it has not been through the seperator centerfuge .the butterfat content is a bit much

an old friend of mine died of it. She was in SA and I think it was from eggs, but I don't know

7:57 am
bichon
It's beautifull Annie. Hangs down with sweet smelling lilac blossoms
7:57 am

I dond't remember ever seeing it, but my mother used to tell me that the smell made her sick, that, on her honeymoon in the Catskills, it was in flower and she'd never forget the scent
7:57 am

we had a lot of wisteria down south.... maybe too cold up by you, bichon?
7:58 am
rubyfoo
I think our climate is about the same as Bichon's

when I was a kid, I though wisteria were grapes that had hung on the vine too long

It gets cold in England. I don't know if it's as cold as here

that is very cute

4:19 pm

Sorry - I must react to what was being discussed when I came on....Happily(!) with life threatening cancer the patient quickly come to terms with what will probably happen to them. And usually the medications &/or chemo numbs not only the pain but also their emotions. Is it easier for the patient? - no. You still know what is going on and know you may be leaving your family. Family and friends react in all kinds of ways - I had people unable to see me and others horrified - but really, they are going to get through the loss if that comes and for them there is a tomorrow. Your niece sounds very stoic Peach - I hope she wins her fight.
