ch7/40 rings a bell, er7/36 might describe a regal cap (a tale to tell?). ly7s are two ugly words from an ugly past. re 7/8 might be a re-application of Kiwi? sh7 is more familiar with an en- in front, and te7 is found amongst ten chessmen.

It was a really strange issue and I took a stab in the dark and working out a solution. Had to change my FTP from Active to Passive - and now it works ok. Must have something to do with a new Wifi Router I have here - interfering with traffic or something. Anyway - that's techno babble - don't worry, letme know if any other issues.

Hello Mrs Rose
1:30 am
grannyrose
hello dear friend
1:39 am
puglet
did the day wipe you out Rose
1:40 am
grannyrose
not too bad, pugs. i nearly wiped out the physio. she hurt when she massaged the muscle in my thigh.
1:41 am
grannyrose
how are you? how's the pain?
1:42 am
grannyrose
pugs, it's the muscle which was cut during surgery. and of course i have to use it in order to walk and do exercises. so it is going to be sore and stiff.
1:42 am
puglet
not too much pain but I just feel wiped out---Iam trying to make myself feel better than I do--lol
1:43 am
puglet
I understand that
1:43 am
grannyrose
you poor love.....
1:44 am
puglet
I spent three hours yesterday filling out this and that form for insurance and I got to call today to finish up
1:45 am
grannyrose
good girl...is this medical insurance?
1:45 am
puglet
yes, through the goverment
1:45 am
puglet
they ask some of the dumbest questions
1:45 am
grannyrose
yay....about time....
1:46 am
grannyrose
yeah...like....what was your grandmother's hat size?
1:46 am
puglet
just about--lol
1:47 am
puglet
I spent over an hour answering so many and their server went down and had to start all over
1:48 am
grannyrose
ugghhh, don't you hate that?? and of course nothing was saved, and you had to redo, right?
1:49 am
grannyrose
the rain is here....i love the smell of newly wet garden...
1:49 am
puglet
of course not--lol
1:50 am
puglet
oh I do too. Ive always liked the rain---I enjoy walking in it
1:51 am
grannyrose
dinner is being dished up. will definitely come back later, hun. don going out so we will be totally uninterrupted...lol
1:52 am
puglet
Nice! enjoy
2:37 am
grannyrose
back!! tummy full of yummy food. * sigh *
2:38 am
puglet
welcome back :)
2:38 am
puglet
Don, having a night out with the guys?
2:39 am
grannyrose
with the guys from church. our new deacon is going to speak.
2:39 am
puglet
that sounds nice
2:40 am
grannyrose
don has been asked to be on the small group of people to help with the deacons journey.
2:40 am
puglet
is your new deacon young
2:40 am
puglet
what journey is that
2:40 am
grannyrose
no, he's older than me...he was a late starter...lol
2:41 am
grannyrose
his journey with the Lord.
2:41 am
puglet
do you have a deacon for the youth and then one for the older people
2:41 am
grannyrose
don will be counseling him, helping him to do what is right.
2:41 am
puglet
oh--that special
2:42 am
grannyrose
not really, pugs. our youth are generally led by lay people.
2:43 am
grannyrose
don is very knowledgeable about the canons (laws ) of our church. he can help this new minister to understand whatis expected of him within the church.
2:44 am
puglet
sounds good for the deacon to feel he fits in then
2:45 am
puglet
did your old deacon retire or did he move away
2:46 am
grannyrose
lol, yes...last sunday it was announced that there was a picture of his newly ordained group in our church newspaper. i jokingly called out that instead of finding 'where's wally' it would be 'where's lachy'. he cracked up laughing.
2:47 am
grannyrose
sadly he died last october, pugs, after a long battle with cancer.
2:47 am
puglet
ahh, thats too bad. Why so long in getting a new one
2:49 am
grannyrose
hmmm, our vestry and wardens have to be careful as to who they select. the deacon has to empathise with his congregation.
2:50 am
puglet
sounds about like our goverment system here--lol
2:51 am
grannyrose
they interviewed quite a few ministers....asking questions about family, values, etc. ther would be no point in appointing a youngish man, say in his 20's, and ask him to spitiually guide people in their 60's, 70's.
2:52 am
puglet
it was in the 60's yesterday and to be so today too and then the temps are going to drop and snow/rain tomorrow
2:53 am
puglet
you dont have very many young people there in your church
2:53 am
grannyrose
good grief!! it's a wonder you all aren't dropping with pneumonia or flu!!
2:54 am
puglet
it was nice enough that I did open the windows for a bit to air out the house
2:54 am
grannyrose
not in this church, pugs. the area is mainly occupied by retirees. further up the hill, younger families and kids, further in towards town, younger families and kids. this particular area older people.
2:55 am
puglet
That makes more sense
2:56 am
grannyrose
the area is reasonably flat, and we have a good hospital just around the corner, the train and bus station is at the end of the street, doctors and chemist, and supermarket, newsagent and very good butcher all within 5-10 minutes of home.
2:57 am
puglet
Iam thinking, OO posted about the meaning of the phrase "good grief" and how it came to be--it was very interesting
2:58 am
puglet
do you take the train very much---I think thats so cool
2:59 am
grannyrose
not at the moment, pugs. i need to be safe, and be assured that i would get a seat. couldn't stand for too long.
2:59 am
puglet
growing up, the train ran right behind our house. Coming through town is slowed and we would hop on it to ride it across the trussel before it picked up speed again
3:00 am
grannyrose
nice, pugs. so daring of you!!
3:01 am
puglet
Its a wonder we didnt get ran over--lol
3:01 am
grannyrose
when i lived a bit further out, ( before i married don ) we had a vintage steam train pass almost by our back-door. if you google puffing billy, the dandenongs....you will see it.
3:02 am
puglet
when I was training in the nursing home, I took care of an older gentleman that was a hobo and thats how he traveled. He had some good stories
3:02 am
grannyrose
i bet he did...lol
3:03 am
puglet
He was such a nice man.....I love listening to older people tell stories of their lives
3:04 am
grannyrose
yeah....they have such a wealth to share....and then suddenly, YOU are one of the oldies, telling stories to the kids and young folk. * sigh *
3:05 am
puglet
so true--lol
3:06 am
grannyrose
when you google search puffing billy, try the second site listed. it is the web site for the actual puffing billy society.
3:06 am
puglet
alright, will I see you there too? lol
3:07 am
grannyrose
they have vidoes too
3:07 am
grannyrose
cheeky possum!!!
3:08 am
puglet
they done away with most of the trains here--which I think is sad
3:08 am
puglet
the one that use to run behind my old home is completly gone now---the tracks and all
3:09 am
grannyrose
strange! trains are so much a part of our infrastructure. use of public transport is highly encouraged.
3:10 am
puglet
I wish that were so here
3:11 am
puglet
I dont even know where the closest passenger train is here--maybe in the capital
3:11 am
grannyrose
here in melbourne, they are currently putting all trains underground where they once ran across a road. it is reducing so many level-crossing accidents.
3:11 am
puglet
like subways?
3:13 am
grannyrose
plus trains and commuting cars all run smoother. no pugs, just under the road they once ran across. then back up into the open air. that would be about 300-400 feet.
3:14 am
grannyrose
we do have a subway in town centre, then the trains, as they emerge from the loop, are in the open air again.
3:15 am
puglet
does it cost much to travel by train or the subway
3:16 am
puglet
Sprite has train travel too there where she lives
3:16 am
grannyrose
compared to driving your car in, plus the cost of parking? no, it is a fraction of the cost.
3:17 am
puglet
is that how you get to work
3:17 am
grannyrose
we also have overland trains which run between our big cities, and quite a few which go into the country-side and back.
3:17 am
puglet
these are all passenger trains
3:18 am
grannyrose
unfortunately no, pugs. there is no public transport which links my home to my work. plus i am not too keen on travelling after 9pm on public transport. even with don. if there was a large group of us together, yes.
3:20 am
puglet
yeah, that wouldnt be too safe....it was spooky when I went to the ER. Their parking lot is not light up too great.
3:20 am
grannyrose
i have a small car, it runs on ethanol-based fuel, and uses very little at that.
3:21 am
grannyrose
i'm glad you went, even so, pugs. i can't begin to tell you how scared i was for you, hun.
3:21 am
puglet
well the shot did help me
3:40 am
grannyrose
sorry, back. phone call...DIL number 2 organising DIL number 3's birthday celebration.

OO, do you have passenger trains out there where you live
3:47 am
grannyrose
hey ya o-o. you doing goodly today?
3:49 am

3:50 am

3:51 am

3:52 am
puglet
good morning Dear Sprite
3:53 am
o-o
Just practicing my whining.
3:53 am
grannyrose
thanx o-o. ditto what sprite said. i am so sorry you are having a lousy day. * gentle smiles at o-o *
3:53 am
puglet
I would give up some of my health if I could OO for you to feel better
3:53 am
sprite
you never whine, o-o. You are a hero in my eyes.
3:54 am
puglet
I think it might be good for you to whine(if thats what you want to call it)
3:54 am
sprite
and pug, so happy to see you in babble, hope your back is recovering and you are taking things extremely easy
3:54 am
sprite
and you, rose, are you feeling better?
3:54 am
puglet
How is our Sprite today
3:55 am
sprite
I am fine, thanks pug :)
3:55 am
puglet
I feel wiped out but other than that I am better
3:56 am
sprite
hmz glad your back feels less painful. But feeling wiped out means you really need to rest and take things very very easy, hun... I hope you are doing just that.
3:56 am
o-o
No pugs, my well-being is my responsibility. The best thing you can do is love and forgive yourself ... you are a good person ... remind and reward yourself for that.
3:56 am
sprite
A-freaking-men to that, o-o
3:57 am
grannyrose
absolutely o-o.
3:58 am
puglet
thank you OO, but I worry very much about you, you are a friend OO, and if you need to reach out or gripe or cry Iam here for you as I know these others are too
3:59 am
sprite
unconditionally, yes
3:59 am
grannyrose
sprite, doing better than okay, hun. now actually raising my heart rate on the bike. and doing 5 minutes twice/day. also have dropped another of the pain meds. so now on 2 first thing, and then one at 2pm, then nothing of the strong meds until the next day.
4:00 am
sprite
oh wow rose, you are going so strong! So proud of you, hun. That was (and is) a helluva battle. Superrose!
4:01 am
grannyrose
lolol...thanx hun. it was last wednesday...i turned the corner, and there i was....no crutches, walking around the house aid-free. physio very pleased with how i am walking. not hitching that hip any more, either.
4:02 am
sprite
awesome, rose. Am so glad you have been loyal to your body's demands and stood your ground against well-intentioned but way too early pressure to build down the pain meds.
4:02 am
grannyrose
o-o, please understand, this circle of babblers are non-judgemental. we support and care for each other, either here in chog, or elsewhere.
4:04 am
puglet
I think OO needs some love and caring friends in his life to help over the rough times just as we all do
4:05 am
sprite
well I am here, for all three of you, whenever you need a listening ear and an open heart.

9:51 am
crosshair
wow. I had no idea that microwave popcorn was so bad for you "Up until about five years ago, I had never even heard of perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA. It’s the chemical used to line the bags of microwave popcorn so that they don’t catch on fire. And while I’m a big fan of keeping flaming microwaves at bay, I’m alarmed by the fact that PFOA has been linked to cancer, postponed puberty, thyroid disease and high cholesterol in kids. Not to mention the chemicals that are used to get that “imitation butter†flavor so often found on microwave popcorn. Yuck. Steer clear of the microwave version and pop your own"
9:51 am

10:00 am
crosshair
it is hard to say riverdance. it comes out of the blue, on some unsuspecting, sunny Tuesday afternoon and the doctor hits you over the head with a cancer verdict after a routine check up
10:01 am
crosshair
usually it all boils down to how early you stuble across the first cancer while getting seen for something else
10:01 am
crosshair
stumble
10:02 am
crosshair
for example, if i had waited 6 more months before being seen, my first cancer would of killed me
10:02 am
crosshair
so, needless to say, i do not give a flying fart that bacon is bad for me:))

We had them first! You Americans made things easier.
4:54 pm

this is true. jaxx has you there
4:55 pm
crosshair
they also leave out all the letter u's jaxx;)
4:56 pm
jaxx7
Some of the phrases you use like gotten are actually purer than ours, more related to the original old English.
4:56 pm
crosshair
but they are handy when you need to borrow some military equipment, the subs we bought off you we rather leaky lol
4:58 pm
jaxx7
I wouldn't know about that. What does annoy me is the deletion of ph in, for eg Sulphuric, for an f. lazy!
4:58 pm
crosshair
lol the u missing in colour drive me batty especially on the word office programme, keeps coming up as an error
5:00 pm
jaxx7
English is a very eccentric language and hard to learn to speak and write.
5:00 pm
crosshair
it is full of mysteries
5:01 pm
jaxx7
You can put your your PC on British English and then it won't be an error :)
5:01 pm
crosshair
even in word? because it has its own spell check
5:02 pm
crosshair
there are so many settings i have yet to even touch on in that programme
5:03 pm
jaxx7
Its all down to being conquered regularly and having an empire - we adopted the other languages where the word was better than an existing one eg Bungalow from India where there was no such word back in the day.
5:03 pm

Crossy, I like Clive Cussler's books but have not heard of that one.
5:09 pm

You might have heard of Teignmouth in connection with Donald Crowhurst who faked his round the world trip and left from here.
5:10 pm
jaxx7
Am I talking to myself? I do that regularly with my husband.
5:10 pm
crosshair
he has many good novels; but they are full of brio and not to everyones taste. i have many of them in ebook format. If you have an e-reader and would like some, just e-mail me
5:11 pm
jaxx7
I am old fashioned when it comes to e-readers and don't have one. I prefer real books. I also don't have a mobile phone
5:12 pm
crosshair
nothing wrong with that. a few good titles are the raise the titanic, sahara, vixen 03, his early one the medeterranian caper.. so many.,..

my husband has been having so much trouble with his neck and shoulder can't lie down in bed has to sleep in his recliner finally went to the doc yesterday and got some pain pills and an mri I remember you had some problems with that and wondered what they did or are doing for you
5:15 pm
westford
sorry to butt in
5:15 pm
jaxx7
I understand that it would ease the storage problem but I just like the feel and smell of a book.
5:16 pm
crosshair
no problem. they need to make sure he has not got a pinched nerve first. ask for a cat scan
5:16 pm
westford
and in keeping with the subject line I love The Story of English
5:16 pm
crosshair
he may have herniated disks like mine and not know it
5:16 pm
crosshair
or a simple pinched nerve
5:17 pm
crosshair
my neck is now also full of arthritis
5:17 pm
jaxx7
In the meantime you could try rubbing in olbas oil. It is not just good for relieving congested noses.
5:17 pm
crosshair
a neck massage wil help him greatly
5:17 pm
westford
Okay that's what I'll tell him..He has had an on going problem with his C4 and C5 disc from an ejection years ago
5:18 pm
westford
has had surgery and has calcium build up but he says the pain is different
5:18 pm
jaxx7
Was it a steroid injection?
5:18 pm
crosshair
my neck is a combination of three herniated disks, arthritis and a narrowing of some of the openings that the nerves pass through
5:18 pm
westford
no an ejection from his airplane
5:18 pm
crosshair
yes, a cat scan is your next step to see exactly what is going on in there
5:19 pm
crosshair
yes, the compression g-forces from an ejection seat can do damage very easily
5:19 pm
westford
I was thinking arthritis too and I know he has narrow openings
5:19 pm
westford
this has been very helpful thanks crossy
5:19 pm
jaxx7
Compaction is the problem then. Try an osteopath or chiropracter for that massage. They can work wonders.
5:19 pm
crosshair
if he is in the service make sure all medical treatment is doccumented, you may get recompense later
5:20 pm
westford
thanks jaxx I know he wants to avoid more surgery
5:20 pm
westford
crossy he's a retired fighter pilot
5:20 pm
crosshair
but get the scan before you let a bone cracker touch him!!
5:20 pm
crosshair
they will do more damage then good if things are badly eroded or out of place imho
5:21 pm
westford
would you recommend heat or ice ?
5:21 pm
crosshair
i figured he was. lol. did not think he had his own personal jet in the garage:))
5:21 pm
crosshair
heat and ice in roataion
5:21 pm
crosshair
rotation
5:22 pm
crosshair
start with a bit of heat
5:22 pm
westford
they let him keep his ejection seat but he gave it away..I thought it would make a great commode
5:22 pm
crosshair
but get that massage in
5:22 pm
westford
thank you both so much he's really in a lot of pain
5:22 pm
crosshair
just ten minutes with some esential oils and it really, really helps
5:22 pm
MollyL
West, he's still eligible for medical treatment at armed services hospitals, correct?
5:22 pm
crosshair
or just baby oil
5:23 pm
crosshair
but i am guessing some disk issues at the very least:(
5:23 pm
jaxx7
I had policeman's heel and conventional medicine was useless. I went to an osteopath who put it right. Plantar Fasciitis is the medical name. it could be the discs between four and five have been herniated.
5:23 pm
westford
yes he is Molly right now he's just seeing a regular doc
5:24 pm
crosshair
i would run any alternative medicine pass your doctor first
5:24 pm
jaxx7
Almond oil which is used as a base for aromatherapy oils is very good as well.
5:24 pm
westford
babble is the best thank you all for your input
5:25 pm
crosshair
np at all, westford. a scan will give you tons of information then you both can decide on what type of treatment
5:25 pm
jaxx7
There are very few ailments that we Babblers haven't had or know someone who has.
5:25 pm
MollyL
Just to clarify for people in other countries, retired US Military personnel are eligible for free medical care at US armed services hospitals. And they also cannot sue the US Government for anything.
5:25 pm
crosshair
but it can be agony indeed;(
5:26 pm
crosshair
so they can get treatment but never sue?
5:26 pm
crosshair
well, take the treatment anyways. you guys pay through the nose for that stuff
5:26 pm
MollyL
As far as I know.
5:27 pm
crosshair
well, we do too, just at tax time:)
5:27 pm
westford
he's really nervous about further surgery
5:27 pm
westford
tax time arghh
5:28 pm
crosshair
it is a tough decision. i am meeting with a neurosurgeon this spring and we have to decide the lesser of the two evils
5:28 pm
MollyL
There are so many back injuries as a result of military service.
5:28 pm
westford
yes it is
5:28 pm
jaxx7
I don't pay tax now I am retired. My pension isn't very big.
5:29 pm
crosshair
i had a friend of mine who waited with the same three buggered up disks untill he could hardly walk, but after the surgery he was in a walker for the rest of his life:(
5:29 pm
westford
he's still working full time as an engineer
5:29 pm
crosshair
i, however, am still mobile and can live with it, for now
5:29 pm
westford
oh crossy, not good
5:30 pm
crosshair
do his arms go numb, westford?
5:30 pm
westford
somewhat
5:30 pm
crosshair
or does he feel a pulling sensation?
5:30 pm
jaxx7
just don't let it go on for too long or operations become much more complicated. My brother-in-law found that out with his cataracts.
5:30 pm
westford
this seems to be a new thing that just came on suddenly he thinks he did it while exercising
5:30 pm
crosshair
cataracts are another thing. they get overripe
5:31 pm
westford
he's never mentioned a pulling sensation
5:31 pm
crosshair
i blew my 3 disks out while exercising...
5:31 pm
jaxx7
Exactly but discs ossify
5:31 pm
crosshair
they do indeed
5:31 pm
crosshair
problem is the risks
5:31 pm
westford
I don't think I'll ever get out of bed lol
5:31 pm
crosshair
hence touching base with the neurosurgeon
5:32 pm
jaxx7
Cheerful aren't we? Life is one big risk and I don't worry or I'd never get out of bed.
5:32 pm
westford
this doctor has no problem referring to others
5:33 pm
crosshair
he may also be full of arthritis in his neck, westford. that is what send me back to the doc 4 months ago. it was so bad, i could hardly hold my head up
5:33 pm
westford
my luck the ceiling would fall in on me
5:33 pm

It started off like arthritis in his shoulders and has just got worse. He is supposed to end up in a wheelchair but sheer determination has kept him moving and, although he has a stick,he is still getting around under his own steam.

5:43 pm

I think he is fantastic. He has developed the hardening one side of the spinal column more than the other. In theory, he should have started twisting like a corkscrew as well. Luckily that does not seem to be happening, thank goodness. he has problems getting his shoes and socks off and on but what are wives for?
5:43 pm
crosshair
can they do nothing for him?
5:44 pm
MollyL
There is a lot to be said for the power of determination.
