GREETINGS FRIENDS

1:12 am

rururocks

hello puggie

1:12 am

puglet

Hi Ruru

1:19 am

puglet

red boxes and server shutting down is not a good start-lol

1:24 am

rururocks

It is really frustrating

1:24 am

rururocks

It is really frustrating

1:25 am

puglet

you having trouble too Ru

1:27 am

rururocks

Yes. And it didnt take words i have sent in

1:27 am

puglet

same for me too

1:39 am

grannyrose

cooee and g'day from me

1:40 am

puglet

Hi Rose, hugs

1:40 am

grannyrose

{{huhs}} miz pugs

1:41 am

puglet

How are you today and did you get the family thing worked out

1:42 am

grannyrose

knee stiff. worked with weights today, in the pool. will probably need to get on the bike later to loosen it up again.

1:43 am

puglet

but no real pain like before

1:46 am

grannyrose

no pain, just stiff. a ti4 bit achy, but not screaming, pull your hair out pain.

1:48 am

puglet

thats very good news! Rose. sounds like real progress --so glad for you

1:50 am

grannyrose

the family thing...*sigh*. talked to don this AM about the whole thing. he said that i did put my hand up to my mouth, but it was so claudia couldn't hear me. of course lucinda thinks it's all about her, lucinda, and has taken umbrage at it. don says to leave it alone. so i will do just that.

1:51 am

puglet

Hes probablly right--give it some time--you explain and said you were sorry not much else you can do

1:54 am

grannyrose

frankly, pugs, i am sick and tired of these whippety snippets of young women judging me, and saying these vile things to me, but never to my face, always via text messages or a third person. i mean, who the hell do they think they are? they have never made any effort to befriend me, and i have tried so hard to stay in the background and let them get on with their lives.

1:57 am

puglet

maybe that you've tried too hard Rose. its hard to please everyone and keeping a large family happy is not a easy task. We want all to be peace and happyness but it dont always go that way

1:57 am

worzel

Gooooood morning fellow Babblers xx

1:58 am

puglet

Morning Wor

1:58 am

worzel

morning pug xx

2:04 am

worzel

crikey - i come in and everyone goes quiet! do my feet smell again?

2:05 am

puglet

LOL--I dont smell em from here

2:05 am

worzel

should hope not, neither - I had my annual wash last month!

2:06 am

puglet

Iam trying to get warm--I turned off the heat and the temps dropped down into the 30's and Iam about to get out some gloves and the snowboots-lol

2:07 am

worzel

blimey - you still got snow in April?

2:08 am

puglet

no snow as of yet and I hope to not get any either but just temp dropping

2:09 am

puglet

here it was in 70's and high 60's and now this :(

2:09 am

worzel

we've been having a rare warm spell for a few days so i've been doing lots of gardening. Alas rain is now being predicted. Still it saves on watering the garden!

2:10 am

puglet

that should boost all the plants for sure

2:11 am

puglet

do you collect rainwater Wor, to water with later on

2:14 am

worzel

I don't, really. I should but tbh I don't have the room for a water butt. I do use old dishwater sometimes, and always leave watering cans and empty pots out to collect some. Dr God, by the way, has now eaten TWO of my previous messages, the cheeky sod!!

2:16 am

puglet

I had trouble with this site when I first got on here. So far(knock on wood) its been doing okay

2:20 am

worzel

grrrrr darned red boxes!

2:22 am

worzel

logged out and in again. let's hope that works

2:23 am

worzel

did my message about Mum (Rose) come through?

2:23 am

puglet

I dont see it Wor

2:23 am

worzel

just said I hope I haven't upset her - she disappeared when I came on lol

2:25 am

puglet

that one did but not the other--and she did run away - didnt she-lol

2:25 am

worzel

Perhaps she's having her dinner ((((hugs)))) for Mum Rose xx

2:26 am

worzel

and ((((hugs)))) for pugs xx

2:26 am

puglet

thanks Wor and hugs back :)

2:27 am

puglet

no-one wants to talk today it looks like-lol

2:28 am

worzel

No. Mind you, looking back at the chog just b4 I came on there were a few stresses and emotions being let out so maybe it's a ten minute chill-out session. Hope everyone is ok, though xx

2:30 am

puglet

brb--need some coffee

2:30 am

worzel

me too. brb xx

2:38 am

worzel

am back - and have bought my experimental cup of tea with me lol

2:38 am

puglet

2:38 am

worzel

good timing lol

2:38 am

puglet

seems so-lol

2:39 am

worzel

i refuse to believe there are another eight q words!

2:40 am

puglet

what is experimental tea? I got 7 of them so far and having trouble finding the others

2:40 am

2:40 am

puglet

HI nono

2:43 am

worzel

good morning nanette x

2:45 am

worzel

yayyy finally nbt!!! that bottom left i is a bugger!

2:47 am

worzel

Do they have lots of weather related issues where Dr God's server is situated? Seems to be really bad this week

2:48 am

grannyrose

back. next-door neighbour popped in to see how i was doing. we have had a lovely chat.

2:48 am

worzel

Good morning Mum - I thought I'd upset you, you disappeared as soon as I came in lol xx

2:48 am

puglet

we wonder what happen to you Rose

2:49 am

grannyrose

nah, son. hide of a rhinoscerus, dear.

2:49 am

worzel

we've been good boys and girls in your absence!

2:49 am

worzel

and a marvellous hide it is too!

2:49 am

grannyrose

pugs, i went out to get a drink, and the doorbell rang. was a little difficult to walk away from her.

2:50 am

worzel

at least it wasn't a salesperson - you could easily tell them where to go!

2:51 am

grannyrose

don't bother doing that, i just shut the door again...especially when it's one of those JW's.

2:52 am

worzel

I was going to mention JW's but didn't want to offend anyone - just in case there's one lurking . . . I am really good with them - I remember they came to my door one day and started, then they said "Jesus is coming" so I started looking up and down the street and said "What time's he due?"

2:53 am

worzel

i finished on a camp flurry by saying "why didn't you warn me earlier so I could do my hair?"

2:53 am

grannyrose

roflol, naughty man! what am i gonna do with you? i can't believe it when they say that God has brought them to my frontdoor.

2:54 am

worzel

You should have said "That's good, I'm just off shopping - can he give me a lift?"

2:55 am

grannyrose

lolol. look i have no objection to what they believe in, just in what they do. it's so irritating.

2:55 am

worzel

i have no quarry with people following a faith - to a point - as long as they don't try and sign me up to a lifetime contract! Especially by knocking on my door whilst I'm trying to slaughter chickens for my satanical master! (A joke, obviously!!)

2:56 am

worzel

as if the devil would put up with ME!

2:56 am

o-o

I do not shop much .. surely am glad I do not need an elevator

2:57 am

grannyrose

*giggle* o-o, how the devil are you?

2:57 am

worzel

that's a good point 0-0 I hadn't thought along those lines. Besides, if God is so powerful why does he need an elevator? Plus, if he's so good at his job, why does he need people to do his work?

2:58 am

o-o

quite sinful.

2:58 am

grannyrose

atta man, just the way i like you...

2:59 am

puglet

Morning OO, hugs

2:59 am

worzel

ooo am quite excited. have been going gym lately and just noticed on my right arm a bit of muscle popping through! Oh no, wait, hang on - it's a spot . . . bugger!

3:00 am

grannyrose

don't squeeze it, it might grow up and become a muscle....

3:01 am

o-o

Hello

3:01 am

worzel

I hope so! Think I'm getting too old for my body to be in better shape now though - have been going gym 3 months and although my muscle tone is improving i'm not losing my middle fat. Mind you, an hour and half of gym work doesn't excuse bacon butties and sweets, does it.

3:01 am

sprite

good morning all :)

3:01 am

worzel

hello 0-0!!! x

3:02 am

worzel

goooooood morning Sprite xx

3:02 am

sprite

hello worzel

3:02 am

puglet

good morning Sprite-hugs

3:02 am

sprite

*hugs rose and pugs and o-o*

3:02 am

o-o

good morning generally is an oxymoron

3:03 am

worzel

oh i don't know, 0-0, i often find the mornings most pleasurable - at least whilst I'm in the company of my good Babble friends!

3:03 am

sprite

*grin* ain't that the truth!

3:03 am

TraderKate

hello sprite, worzel, pugs, o-o (really nice to see you), grannyrose, and of course, {{lurkerz}} :D

3:04 am

worzel

morning Kate xx

3:04 am

sprite

hey Kate :)

3:04 am

TraderKate

so now i know.... you are granny rose's son?

3:04 am

o-o

Hello, TK. How's your onion?

3:04 am

puglet

Hi Kate, long time since Ive seen you

3:05 am

TraderKate

spritey... it's been a long time :) hope you are doing well!

3:05 am

grannyrose

hey ya kate, and {{snuggles}} spritey.

3:05 am

sprite

only in babble, Kate, is worzel rose's son.

3:05 am

worzel

Yes - GrannyRose adopted me some years ago, whilst I was still a wastrel. She took me under her wing and allowed me to flourish into the beautiful creation I have since become. Although, to be honest, how she's put up with me for the last 73 years is beyond my comprehension - I'd have had me drowned at birth!

3:06 am

TraderKate

hi o-o, onion? maybe i'm a bit dense tonight...it's awfully late here....

3:06 am

sprite

am doing well. Apart from the boy who misbehaves too often and too badly, things are well. And you?

3:07 am

puglet

Sprite, I answered you this morn---I was so wiped out last night and sorry I didnt get to it sooner

3:07 am

TraderKate

lol, those naughty moments are the ones you will remember in your dotage with fondness sprite, enjoy... and pour another drink ;)

3:08 am

TraderKate

ok worz.... you have me totally confused now...are you mocking poor tired kate?

3:08 am

sprite

I hope so, Kate, lol. He is about to become 18 though, so naughty doesn't cover it.

3:08 am

o-o

I am in my dotage and can't remember two minutes ago.

3:08 am

grannyrose

yes he is kate, and he's a very naughty boy. worzel, leave kate alone. you hear?

3:08 am

TraderKate

nice to see you too pugs, it's been ages, glad to see you are still hanging here

3:09 am

o-o

Hole you are well and get some rest, TK.

3:09 am

TraderKate

that may be a blessing in duisguise o-o, lol

3:09 am

o-o

Hope

3:09 am

worzel

Neigh, Kate, I would never so presume to be mocking of your sanity! Ignore me, I'm just on a mad caffeine hyper at the moment. On a serious note, Rose "bingo-adopted" me. And Mum, sorry for my behaviour - I have now gone and sat myself in a corner to reflect upon my mischievious ways xx

3:10 am

TraderKate

no rest for the wicked, actually not htat tired, been up too late recently :(

3:10 am

worzel

not that i'll learn . . .

3:10 am

grannyrose

yeah, right, worzel. ( two positives meaning a negative)

3:10 am

o-o

no rest for the weary ...

3:11 am

worzel

two positives? you have me at a disadvantage lol (frantically re-reads everything I've written in search of the great double-positive!!)

3:11 am

grannyrose

hey sprite, i worked with weights in the pool this AM.

3:11 am

TraderKate

don't go to the corner worz.. go to the pb and mix us up a batch of drinkies ;)
i am not offended or whatever by your posts

3:12 am

grannyrose

worzel...yeah....right......meaning not

3:12 am

o-o

Note : A variant is â€œno rest for the wicked,â€ which implies that the devil will not allow his followers to rest from their evil doings.

3:12 am

worzel

Ahhhh - see, Mum - although you put in all that hard work I'm afraid you've raised a dolt!!!

3:12 am

TraderKate

;)
grannyrose, are you stirring the pot????

3:13 am

grannyrose

of course i am, what else are grannies and mums for?

3:13 am

worzel

my ex-wife used to stir a pot - well, it was more of a cauldron . . .

3:13 am

sprite

guess I am wicked then... never a moment of rest here...

3:13 am

TraderKate

too true o-o, and you have found me out.... a minion of satan isa what i am. hahaha

3:14 am

grannyrose

*giggle* that's what my ex used to say, too. about me stirring a cauldron.

3:14 am

TraderKate

did sbroomstick worz?he use her

3:14 am

sprite

but isn

3:14 am

worzel

satan doesn't talk to me anymore - think I've scared him

3:15 am

sprite

but isn't satan supposed to seduce me with riches and goodies and worldly power? Never got those though.

3:15 am

worzel

ooo Kate I don't understand that . . .

3:15 am

TraderKate

bloody hell.....stupid little red button on lappie...
ahem -did she use her broomstick worz?

3:16 am

worzel

only to spank me with

3:16 am

grannyrose

oh, kare, i am so glad someone else's computer does that to them.

3:16 am

grannyrose

aagghh...kate, kate, kate, kate...just practicing.

3:17 am

sprite

kate doesn't kare, rose. Don't worry. ;)

3:17 am

TraderKate

i have a small red button located in the middle of the gh&b keys, if i hit it by accident, it repositions the cursor to the middle of what i was writing. no idea why it would be used or how to disable it....

3:17 am

sprite

it is for people who cannot find the middle of what they are writing, Kate. Like speech writers and such.

3:18 am

TraderKate

i make a point of never noticing anyone's typos and expect that others will be simillarly kind to me
<--world's worst typist

3:18 am

worzel

what kind of idiot puts a thing like that on the main part of the keyboard? I bet it's a Toshiba . . .

3:19 am

grannyrose

aww, thanx kate.

3:19 am

TraderKate

but it seems to go to a random point, and always in the middle of a word.....

3:19 am

o-o

â€œIn this Kingdom of Evil,
There is no peace for the Righteous.
It is the wicked that inherited
This tortured World, engulfed
In the red, milky, cry-absorbing fog,
Guarding the wilted conscience of man.â€
~Holocaust survivor Alexander Kimel

3:19 am

sprite

this is a very odd grid

3:20 am

TraderKate

ancient ibm thinkpad (still running on xp, so we will see how long before it implodes, now that xp is no longer supported)
and don't htink for a minute that the spanking comment slippe dby worz.... are the drinkies ready yet?

3:20 am

o-o

Nonetheless, I got it even

3:20 am

sprite

wow that is strong imagery, o-o.

3:21 am

worzel

that's one in the face for the testaments, isn't it? The meek shall inherit the earth. Crap! That's really nice 0-0, thank you for putting that up. Very humbling x

3:21 am

TraderKate

nice quote o-o

3:22 am

worzel

and as for you, Kate - yes, your drinks are in the post. I use the plural, as I know you enjoy more than one (bottle pmsl!!) And that spanking comment - well, least said . . .

3:23 am

sprite

hey pug, did we lose you?

3:23 am

TraderKate

what good does a drink in the post do me, i ask you? by the time it gets to me it will be warm, and possibly spilled....

3:24 am

puglet

nay, Iam just listening

3:24 am

worzel

well, i guess i could do my naked waiter skit and deliver it in person

3:24 am

sprite

*pours kate a stiff one* There, what else is the PB good for anyway, right?

3:24 am

sprite

*hugs pugs* Am glad you are enjoying your sister's stay

3:25 am

TraderKate

precisely sprite! ty muchly :D

3:25 am

puglet

its wearing me out but its only for a few more days-lol

3:25 am

TraderKate

grannyrose.... are you reading this?

3:25 am

puglet

did you get my email Sprite

3:26 am

sprite

yes I did, darling. Will write back straight after babble. Just didn't want to miss my friends :D

3:26 am

grannyrose

yes, kate. have one eye on the tellie.

3:26 am

worzel

that's a strange place to leave a false eye . . .

3:27 am

sprite

nothing is false about our rose.

3:27 am

grannyrose

well it's better than my nose to the grindstone...lolol

3:27 am

TraderKate

....so when can i expect your arrival in the land of maple?

3:28 am

worzel

omg no - you really wouldn't want to see me turn up on your doorstep, all full of drink and just a tea-towel over my arm, with nothing else to cover my shortcomings . . .

3:28 am

puglet

NP -Sprite, Iam just sorry I didnt answer you sooner

3:28 am

grannyrose

kate, have to be rehabbed first, that takes me through to almost august. *sigh*.closer to the time i will email you all and find out where i need to be and when. and you all can tell me where to go...lol

3:29 am

worzel

sorry, i jumped into the wrong conversation there x

3:29 am

TraderKate

isn't that why you're going to the gym? your description of the skit has piqued my interest....

3:29 am

sprite

pugs, no hurry! It's all good.

3:29 am

TraderKate

no you didn't worz..

3:30 am

TraderKate

we won't tell you where to go granny... we'll all go together ;)

3:30 am

sprite

tsk disney is not valid

3:30 am

worzel

Bugger - first time I've ever been lost for something to say!!! Erm, right - Canada here I come!

3:31 am

TraderKate

granny, you rave raised an incorrigible flirt....well done!

3:31 am

worzel

How long does it take to swim from the UK to Canada?

3:31 am

o-o

The meek shall inherit the Earth is another conundrum. There are meek in each generation ... do the laws of decent and distribution cover the dissension over ownership?

3:31 am

worzel

and is the water deep?

*giggle* just like his old mum.

3:32 am

sprite

probably should, o-o. And they should keep some apart for roadrunner.... meekmeek!

3:32 am

worzel

who said anything about flirting? You watch, I'll be stalking you soon!!!! lmao - ooo, that sounds a bit rood (goes all red-faced!)

3:32 am

o-o

So the meek should inherit from the meek

3:33 am

grannyrose

so that's what they call it now-a-days, is it? in my day it was....hmmm, not in mixed company.

3:33 am

o-o

Wonder is Casper Milquetoast qualifies?

3:33 am

worzel

0-0 isn't that presuming that originally the meek owned the Earth to give as an inheritance? Does anybody actually own the Earth?

3:33 am

sprite

or does it mean that once the bad have gone to hell and the good to heaven, the meek can have the leftovers on earth?

3:34 am

worzel

Mother!!! Good grief, no wonder I'm so unashamed. Tee hee

3:34 am

o-o

No need for Earth when all are denizens of either heaven or hell.

3:35 am

sprite

yes, the earth has an owner. Ask Kipling.

3:35 am

TraderKate

i'm sure the laws of primogeniture apply o-o

3:35 am

o-o

good grief is another oxymoron

3:35 am

sprite

just like bad luck

3:36 am

grannyrose

o-o, like army intelligence?

3:36 am

sprite

lolol

3:36 am

worzel

I am going to go and make the most of the last couple hours of sunshine before it rains and do a spot of gardening. I wish you all a marvellous day/eventide wherever you may be celebrating it, and thank you for such a pleasant start to my day. Love to you all xxxxxxxx

3:36 am

worzel

xxxxxx *poof*

3:37 am

TraderKate

first borns are usually strong, dependable types, not meek....

3:38 am

sprite

you were the exception to the rule, o-o

3:38 am

o-o

primogeniture involves first born males

3:38 am

o-o

no, snafu abounded

3:38 am

grannyrose

what about in jewish society? where the culture is matriarchal

3:38 am

sprite

primadonnaship involves firstborn females?

3:39 am

sprite

snafu and fubar, no doubt

3:39 am

TraderKate

i stand corrected, you are right o-o, my oops :(

3:41 am

TraderKate

3:41 am

3:41 am

grannyrose

enjoy, kate

3:42 am

puglet

3:42 am

TraderKate

5:57 am

TraderKate

hi foffle :)

5:57 am

zoozzoom

Yes i rememebr, TK, when you had to finish when the internet cafe was closing.

5:58 am

zoozzoom

Foffle was lost for words then..lol

5:58 am

Foffle

Grrrr

5:58 am

Foffle

my computer is playing up

5:58 am

zoozzoom

Teehee :-)

5:58 am

Foffle

back to the shop with it

5:59 am

zoozzoom

Oh dear that is not good :-(

5:59 am

crosshair

that is right,you were using coffee shop Wi-Fi . Must feel nice to have your own. All that coffee is no goo for you anyways:)

5:59 am

Foffle

no another 50 quid gone

5:59 am

TraderKate

for a short time, i was sharing the internet with the upstairs neighbours, but they weren't good at paying their bills (even though i paid my share) so that didn't last long.... they're gone now, and a new network has popped up, though i don't know where it comes from, maybe the new cafe across the street

5:59 am

grannyrose

*munch, munch* muffled.....{{{crossy}}}

6:00 am

crosshair

howdy granny:)

6:00 am

Foffle

I've got a bug, i think

6:01 am

Foffle

my computer that is

6:01 am

zoozzoom

Do you mean a virus..do you have anti-virus software installed on the computer?

6:01 am

grannyrose

foffle,do you not run anti-virus ware?

6:02 am

grannyrose

lolol, snap crossy

6:02 am

zoozzoom

Snap, Rose..lol

6:02 am

TraderKate

(this winter was just too horrid to trudge to the cafe, we have a perennnial wind here that just howls.. i hibernated (still hibernating, really.... it's only 3 C here now.... and the wind is raging as usual :(

6:02 am

zoozzoom

Does not sound very nice, TK, I do hope it warms up for you soon.

6:03 am

Foffle

yes normally I do. Had a disaster with McAfee though

6:03 am

crosshair

not to worry kate. As per usual the frost will be out of the ground by May 24th I am sure

6:03 am

zoozzoom

Oh gosh i am using Mcafee now!

6:04 am

TraderKate

i have faith that it will zooz, though that faith is being sorely tried atm....it really has been horrendous :((

6:04 am

grannyrose

ugh, kate, sounds cold. mind with the way i feel, i would probably love it. i have been scanned from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. had so many blood tests done, with nothing showing up....and i still run a fever.

6:04 am

zoozzoom

not had any problems though.

6:04 am

zoozzoom

i am also using spybot for extra security.

6:04 am

grannyrose

we( don and i ) run a free program of avast.

6:05 am

crosshair

i am currently using Microsoft security essentials in conjunction with C Cleaner and Malwarebytes. seems to be working well

6:05 am

Foffle

it's a long story but the socalled experts there managed to break my computer

6:05 am

zoozzoom

You could download a free one, Foffle, like AVG..they are supposed to be very good.

6:05 am

Foffle

AVG is excellent

6:05 am

TraderKate

well, i hope they get to the bottom of it for you rose, a constant fever is no good.... it's not just a bug of some sort? is your white count high?

6:05 am

zoozzoom

Yes i have heard good things about Malwarebytes.

6:06 am

crosshair

it works very well zooz

6:06 am

grannyrose

good grief, foffle. do you have any way you can claim against them?

6:06 am

crosshair

i am sorry you are not well, granny:(

6:06 am

Foffle

nope

6:06 am

grannyrose

oh, yes, don and i run malwarebytes as well.

6:06 am

worzel

can i have a clue for the my 5 please? xx

6:07 am

bichon

I use Malaware bytes and it's great

6:07 am

Foffle

I spent 100 quid with them, then another 50 to get it back to factory settings

6:07 am

zoozzoom

MY + stand by my ***e

bichon

hi zooz, worzel, Foffle, granny

6:09 am

TraderKate

hi bichon :)

6:09 am

grannyrose

it's okay, crossy. i just live with it. it's not lupus, but fibromyalgia. it is destroying my immune system.i haven't worn anything extra summer pj's for the last 4 years. and i have to have the fan blowing on me all night. i throw the sheet and blankets on and off all night.

6:09 am

crosshair

that is what they always do when they get lazy, they say " sorry, all your info is now on this flash key , and i have to wipe your hard drive, sorry"

6:09 am

Foffle

hi bichon

6:09 am

worzel

good morning bichon xx

6:09 am

grannyrose

hey ya bichon. how are you, dear?

6:09 am

bichon

Just sparkling granny

6:10 am

TraderKate

sounds like a menopause from hell granny!

6:10 am

zoozzoom

Sparkling what a lovely word.

6:10 am

grannyrose

lol, meanwhile himself is dressed in thick fleecy pj's, under a sheet, two blankets and a quilt.

6:10 am

bichon

That's a time of my life I don't want to revisit

6:11 am

bichon

It's spring, things are in bloom after a terrible winter

6:11 am

grannyrose

kate, menopause happened nearly 30 years ago, at the tender age of 33.

6:11 am

zoozzoom

haha total contrast, Rose , it must be a right tussle with the duvet.

6:12 am

grannyrose

*giggle* zooz, he can have it all. i had the brilliant idea of using a single bed duvet, sandwiched it between the two blankets. he has all the warmth, and i get the coolth.

6:13 am

crosshair

my beloved and i always fight over the blankets. I am the walking furnace and she is the one wearing the arctic jammies

6:13 am

bichon

Is coolth a real word

6:13 am

zoozzoom

You are clever, Rose..that's a good idea.

6:13 am

grannyrose

absolutely, bichon

6:13 am

zoozzoom

LOL, Bichon.

6:14 am

TraderKate

that's why women in northern climes keep a man around.... human blast furnaces that keep our toes warm ;)

6:14 am

grannyrose

may be it would be a solution for you and the missus, crossy.

6:14 am

zoozzoom

I must admit my internal central heating does not work too well..so I am often wrapped up with lads of layers

6:15 am

zoozzoom

loads*

6:15 am

zoozzoom

Please do not get the wrong idea LOL

6:16 am

grannyrose

i have to be careful, though. my temperature goes up and down rapidly. when it goes down, i freeze, and what do you do when you are cold? you shiver, and up goes my temperature again.

6:16 am

TraderKate

pmsl.......picturing zooz wrapped up in a rugby team....

6:16 am

zoozzoom

lol

6:16 am

TraderKate

how's your thyroid rose?

6:17 am

zoozzoom

I heard men can also go through a type of menopause..not sure if that is true or not.

6:18 am

TraderKate

T, though not so apparent

6:18 am

grannyrose

so if we have any brilliant diagnosticians among the babblers. please, if it's not the FM, email me and let me know. the most i have slept is 6 hours in a row. and that is after a 5:45am get out of bed, and sitting up till after 11PM.

6:19 am

zoozzoom

((Rose))

6:19 am

grannyrose

border-line, kate. border-line high, but not high enough for my GP to order thyroid antibodies. i have what is called a multi-nodal goitre.

6:20 am

TraderKate

the bad/broken sleep often comes with age rose. but if your thyroid hasn't been checked... that helps regulate your body temp.

6:20 am

zoozzoom

Fireworks for me..not a bad grid today.

6:21 am

grannyrose

once this knee thing is done and dusted, i am gonna have to sit the GP down and give her a good, strong talking to.

6:21 am

TraderKate

congratulations zooz!

6:21 am

bichon

Woot zooz

6:21 am

grannyrose

WTG ZOOZZOOM!!!!

6:21 am

TraderKate

definitely rose, we must have you hale and hearty for your trip... we're counting on you!

6:21 am

zoozzoom

You tell her, Rose!

6:22 am

grannyrose

kate, i understand that. but if my head is saying you are tired, surely thatmeans you need more sleep. i am definitely not bored, that's for sure.

6:22 am

zoozzoom

lol i think we know what you mean by that, Rose :-)

6:23 am

grannyrose

i hate putting the bedside lamp on during the night. so i lie here in the dark, listening to the clock and dearly beloved.

6:24 am

grannyrose

but we have found out...if i fall asleep holding his hand, i do sleep.

6:24 am

zoozzoom

OK Time for me to do the really boring stuff like chores :-(....Happy babbling everyone..byee!

6:25 am

grannyrose

thinking of you zooz. enjoy your day, mate

6:25 am

TraderKate

i have a paper on sleep hygiene that may help, i will see if i can get it to you via e-mail.... one of the first commandments is beds are only for sleeping and sex.... if you can't sleep, get up....i'll look for it

6:26 am

crosshair

you get a Whole six hours!! lol. ever since my sleep apnea and bursistis and that thing that pulls the nerves all along the back of your leg and around the butt cheek, i am lucky to get 4 a night. the best sleep i ever get is the one hour mid-day power nap on the couch:(

6:26 am

grannyrose

interesting kate. will look forward to seeing it. thanx, hun

6:26 am

TraderKate

enjoy your day zooz, hope the rain holds off :)

6:27 am

bichon

Sciatica crossy

6:27 am

crosshair

ty bichon, my mind could not dig up the name

6:28 am

bichon

It's a word which sticks with me forever

6:29 am

crosshair

these English classes are turning my mind to mush. I can write brilliant 95% essays, but forget how to tie my shoes:))

6:29 am

TraderKate

i should bounce.... it's 7:30 a.m. here, and my eyes are starting to droop. will have to get the other half alone this evening

6:29 am

bichon

Are you only taking English classes?

6:29 am

grannyrose

crossy, it is only occasionally i get those 6 hours. usually it's more like 2-3 hours, awake for 1 1/2, then another hour, awake for another hour. and the restless legs...so i know and understand completely where you are coming from. you poor guy.

6:30 am

crosshair

nope. law classes are next

6:30 am

crosshair

then of all things chemistry

6:30 am

TraderKate

are they grading you on shoe tying crossy?

6:30 am

bichon

What kind of degree are you working towards?

6:30 am

grannyrose

crossy, do you have a CPAP machine?

6:30 am

crosshair

lol,yes kate, got an F. they said to get Velcro runners

6:31 am

crosshair

i do, granny but it is a thing i loathe. It must of been designed in hell

6:31 am

TraderKate

.... first sign of approaching dotage crossy - watch out!

6:31 am

grannyrose

or flip flops....crossy?

6:32 am

grannyrose

now crossy, how old is your machine, and how long since you bought yourself a new mask?

6:32 am

crosshair

i will (hopefully) be heading into communication course , bichon which in turn will (maybe) land me an editing job at a small newspaper or publishing house

6:32 am

crosshair

machine is 2 years old now

6:33 am

grannyrose

and i am guessing you have to use a full mask, not just a nasal bolster?

6:33 am

bichon

Does the CPAP make a difference. I've heard from people that they give up on it because it makes sleep impossible

6:33 am

crosshair

yes, mam. full mask

6:34 am

crosshair

bichon, for me, it is like having an industrial vacuum ramming air down your throat all night long

6:34 am

grannyrose

you poor guy. i managed to train myself to sleep with my mouth closed. i now only have a light weight silicon bolster. it made such a difference.

6:34 am

crosshair

the seal is always braking and air squirting in my eyes, dry throat, cannot tolerate it

6:35 am

grannyrose

ugh, yes, crossy. that is horrible. does your machine adjust automatically or is it on full blast all night.

6:35 am

crosshair

on the bright side, my choking episodes seem to have naturally diminished

6:37 am

crosshair

the air pressure is set by the doctor only

6:37 am

crosshair

it has a slow ramp up feature however

6:37 am

bichon

I don't think I could get used to sleeping on my back. Fortunately I don't have apnea

6:37 am

crosshair

that is my problem, bichon, i cannot sleep on my back, and laying on my side breaks the mask seal more often than not

6:38 am

grannyrose

i don't sleep on my back. with the nasal bolster i can sleep on my side or back. and i have had my machine set to a slightly lower pressure and it runs at that all night.

6:38 am

crosshair

so, the machine is now a $1700.00 paperweight:(

6:39 am

crosshair

i cannot use just a nose piece:(

6:39 am

crosshair

i am glad you have a set up that works for you , granny:)

6:40 am

grannyrose

crossy, have you tried a chin strap? then you could use the bolster.

6:41 am

crosshair

well, granny, my secret problem is that i am also claustrophobic. My nose plugs up at night, i am a mouth breather and that darn mask feels like a coffin lid slamming over my face:(

6:41 am

grannyrose

until i got my machine and jiggled and experimented with it, i used to fall asleep sitting on a fence. couldn't keep my eyes open for more than a few hours. if i sat down at work, during a break, i would nod off.

6:42 am

crosshair

so, for now, it sits

6:42 am

grannyrose

*nodding* yeah, mate, it would. i used to sleep with the windows wide open every night. i had to feel the air moving over my face.

6:43 am

crosshair

lol, mrs always wonders why i have a window open:). I crave the natural air movement

6:44 am

grannyrose

true sleep apneic.

6:45 am

crosshair

she is lucky i do not have us sleeping in a teepee:)

6:47 am

grannyrose

i know this may sound silly, mate, and i'm not trying to teach grandma to suck eggs. but have you seen an ENT speciallist. if your nose is blocking up, you may have a deviated septum, or enlarged turbs.

6:47 am

crosshair

i also have asthma, things are always plugging up, running, filling with mucus or draining:(

6:48 am

Babs1

ever do any parasite/virus clearing?

6:49 am

crosshair

when i have a clear sinus night, it is so odd a feeling that i can actually register and feel the cold air hitting the back of my sinus passages as i breathe. feels like there is all the air in the world at those times

6:49 am

crosshair

what do you mean, babs?

6:50 am

Babs1

underlying virus and parasites...pathogens that often are culprits beneath many health issues

6:50 am

grannyrose

hi babs. how are you, today? and what crossy said?

6:51 am

grannyrose

babs, are you talking about swabs being done?

6:51 am

6:51 am

Babs1

full check include checking for virus and parasites??

6:52 am

grannyrose

and helloooo wolvie

6:52 am

crosshair

no, i would not even know what to ask for. Do they just check my sinuses etc?

6:53 am

Babs1

probably will not find this at an oncologists office...

6:53 am

crosshair

i have nevers aid "check me for parasites doc" no

6:54 am

crosshair

who does it then, ear nose and throat guy?

6:54 am

Babs1

well you have to sometimes cross the road from conventional health model to alternative health and learn about underying factors that create the disease and issues doctors treat

6:54 am

crosshair

ahh alternative medicine.. i got it now

6:56 am

crosshair

there are many good thing under the alternative medicine umbrella, but my needs are more specific because the cancer will get me first , so i stay right on top of it all with standard hospital/ doctor medicine for now

6:57 am

grannyrose

babs, i use natural remedies for my FM. what the doctor had me on was supposedly non-addictive. but it took me 12 weeks to get off the rotten stuff.

6:58 am

crosshair

i have to do body triage as it were. things have to take a number.

6:58 am

Babs1

your choice of course...cancer often the manifestation of pathogenic activity in your body...so attacking the cancer can be treating symptoms only

6:58 am

crosshair

agreed, but for now, i will stick to traditional medicine for my cancer treatments and tests

6:59 am

Babs1

best to you in all you're doing!

6:59 am

crosshair

ty babs

7:00 am

grannyrose

crossy, it wouldn't hurt to ask your oncologist about underlying pathogens. it would probably involve a simple blood test.

7:00 am

crosshair

my in-laws tried kelation? therapy. got to where they were gobbling goat sperm pills and eye of newt. program was costing the pair of them 8k a month. each to their own

7:00 am

crosshair

i shall granny

7:01 am

Babs1

most conventional medicine not working at that level as effectively as alternative practitioners

7:01 am

crosshair

i listen to all advice, ty for your babs, there is no such thing as bad information:)

7:01 am

Babs1

there are simpler herbals for doing parasite and viral cleansing

7:01 am

grannyrose

if you have time, google it. and see if there is any research papers done on it. at least you would be informed, and know if there are any other options.

7:02 am

crosshair

yup, always good to keep an open mind:)

7:04 am

crosshair

however, babs, i do like the idea of balms and unguents for other issues that plague us all once in a while, instead of gobbling pills

7:05 am

crosshair

ungents*

7:06 am

grannyrose

i used to be so stuck in the mud, using only prescription drugs. and then i did some googling. that's how i found out about the natural 'remedy' for FM. it isn't a remedy per se, but it controls it, so i can at least get on with my life.

7:06 am

crosshair

many medicines can be beter absorbed by the skin that perculating in our stomachs

7:07 am

crosshair

whatever brings relief is good medicine:)
