12:35 am

saanichcat

the Victorians I think used it in jewelry

12:35 am

cybernan

still no idea -- not a geologist

12:36 am

cybernan

don't know it saanich

12:37 am

VolleymomDee

you need to learn to use morewords.com, nan... you would be less frustrated :)

12:37 am

saanichcat

someone will come up with a good clue!

12:38 am

cybernan

yep - that's what I'm waiting for saanich -- only use morewords or a2z as a last resort

12:38 am

Lizlin

ca 9 - misspelling of a type of sin + male name

12:38 am

saanichcat

me too

12:38 am

Lizlin

Hope that helps

12:39 am

worzel

ca9 - family automobile ca*, famous elephant in a song ***lie, and british actor who played Lovejoy *** McShane

12:39 am

rururocks

Missing one d from the corners grrrrrrr

12:39 am

Lizlin

Have to admit, I googled it - not a colour or stone I've heard of.

12:39 am

Lizlin

Hi worz :)

12:39 am

worzel

lol Morning all xxxxxxxxxx

12:40 am

worzel

i do NOT like this grid one bit

12:40 am

Lizlin

Me neither

12:40 am

Lizlin

Especially after the nice grid yesterday.

12:40 am

cybernan

don't know the elephant and can't remeber McShanes first name.

12:40 am

worzel

the words today are very twisty in their finding, i must say

12:40 am

cybernan

too tired -- off to bed - good night all

12:40 am

Lizlin

Did you see my clue, nan?

12:41 am

Lizlin

I think maybe your clue was too English, worz. I liked it!

12:41 am

cybernan

yes - but don't know the elephant

12:41 am

dizgrannie

oo 6/39

12:41 am

Lizlin

I didn't clue an elephant - I clued before worz.

12:42 am

Lizlin

Clued at 12.38

12:42 am

cybernan

saw that one too, but can't think of the misspelled sin -- as I said -- too tired. Good night :)

12:42 am

worzel

ignore the elephant then, Dame ***lie Melba instead of the elephant, then for last three letters think infamous British murderer *** Brady

12:43 am

VolleymomDee

ty, diz for the oo 6

12:43 am

cybernan

no idea on Melba or Brady either

12:44 am

rururocks

The only melba i know is toast :D

12:44 am

worzel

i went to do some weeding and k***t down on the floor, followed by two vowels and a consonant

12:44 am

Lizlin

ca 9 - automobile + admiral ***son + male name

12:44 am

rururocks

Nan. Let me try

12:44 am

Erda

Nellie Melba; Ian Brady

12:45 am

rururocks

Ca...knowledge plus sounds like king of the jungle

12:45 am

VolleymomDee

us 6/24 an odd one to me

12:45 am

Lizlin

admiral ***son a the battle of trafalgar

12:46 am

Lizlin

ca knowledge - better than sin!

12:47 am

worzel

no good clueing it anymore, bless her, she's gone offline xx

12:47 am

rururocks

If nan doesnt get this she is going to bed cranky

12:47 am

Lizlin

Never mind - guess she was very tired and frustrated with that word!

12:49 am

Lizlin

Funny - couldn't get the ap 6/7 - trying to spell it the US way, not the UK way, which is more natural to me!

12:52 am

1:26 am

worzel

Morning Mum xxxxxx

1:26 am

sprite

it isn't too bad here atm. Overcast mostly, but dry and not too cold.

1:26 am

Lizlin

Was today a work day, Rose?

1:27 am

grannyrose

hey, flosey, liz, saanichcat, worzel, and i bet our pugs is in the background somewhere.

1:27 am

sprite

thanks, rose :) Have appt with the diabetes pedicurist in 90 minutes, so I will have to go out today. Not really wanting to, sigh.

1:28 am

sprite

so, what triggered the pain, rose?

1:28 am

grannyrose

yup, liz. and i was pounding the floor. i felt good at work, it's just now, after the event, my lower back has gone into such spasm. i am hoping i don't need to go to the loo.

1:28 am

flosey

that oo6 is a bit odd

1:29 am

sprite

what does 'pounding the floor' mean?

1:29 am

grannyrose

at the moment i can't stand up. so have crossed my legs, and fingers.

1:29 am

Lizlin

Well, I'm glad you felt good at work - old routines kicking in!

1:29 am

Lizlin

Call for the portaloo!

1:30 am

grannyrose

ummm, it means i did a far bit of walking. but i walked slowly, and made sure my weight was evenly distributed. my physio is going to go nuts.

1:30 am

sprite

ok, whatever it means, honey, do a little bit less of pounding next work day. Pace, pace, pace!

1:30 am

Lizlin

tiptoe!

1:30 am

sprite

am looking for it now, flosey

1:31 am

grannyrose

sprite, i have some very expensice shoes, good arch support, and gel pads in the heels to absorb the impact.

1:31 am

sprite

ah, found it. Indeed rather odd.

1:31 am

Lizlin

Sounds sensible Rose.

1:31 am

Lizlin

Good for walking about Europe and the US too!

1:31 am

sprite

rose, excuses excuses excuses! *stern mama look* Yes, that is all very sensible and good. But... won't do much good unless you take it easier as well.

1:33 am

grannyrose

*hands up** okay, okay. but it is so much later, like about 4 hours later, that the muscles are giving me gyp.

1:34 am

grannyrose

ahhh, magnesium kicking in

1:34 am

Lizlin

Relief!

1:34 am

sprite

I know, my darling rose. That is how it goes. First we overdo stuff, then we think smugly how much we were able to do and wow did it go well... and then reality hits us over the head with pain, spasms, sweating bouts and the shakes.

1:34 am

grannyrose

at least i can move around on the bed without whimpering.

1:35 am

grannyrose

sprite, you been peeking!!!

1:35 am

sprite

*grins* I was that fly on the wall you couldn't get :P

1:36 am

sprite

and you know, I am not saying all this to hurt you... just to remind you to take it SLOWWWW! Cause I know how tempting it is to go the extra mile, especially at work.

1:36 am

grannyrose

lol, i gave in an hour after i got home, and took a strong pain tablet...notice...only one....and i used the ice pack

1:37 am

Lizlin

Taking a break - 50 left but not liking this grid at all :( Hugs to you both

1:37 am

sprite

good pain management, rose. But still, all clear signs of having overdone it. Do half next time, max.

1:37 am

grannyrose

later, liz, dear.

1:37 am

sprite

bye Liz *hugs*

1:38 am

grannyrose

sprite, you have dosed up on vitamin C and echinacia, right? you know our immune systems are low, hun. and heaps of green tea, add honey and lemon juice.

1:40 am

sprite

yeah, am doing what I can, rose. Must confess that often making it all is too much of a hurdle for me. Will try and make myself a huge mug of tea once I come back from the pediatrice.

1:40 am

grannyrose

lol, don just cut the canary's claws. he, don, was quite cocky, saying at least he won't bite like a budgie. until the bird got a decent hunk of don's finger in it's beak.

1:41 am

sprite

she is gonna be mad at me, lol. I bumped my big toe yesterday. Na4 broken and blood all over the place.

1:41 am

sprite

ohhhhhh bad bird! Lol :)

1:42 am

grannyrose

i know it's hard to do, sprite. and if you are like me, you are sitting/standing there saying to yourself, why can't someone take care of me for on4.

1:42 am

sprite

deep inside, yes, that is it exactly.

1:43 am

grannyrose

awww, hun. *here's a shoulder, lean on it* sweetie, you can do it. i know you can.

1:43 am

sprite

that means a lot to me, rose :)

1:47 am

flosey

back, got into jammies so I won't wake hubby when I finally give up

1:48 am

sprite

wb flosey :) Wow, you look cute in your jammies!

1:48 am

flosey

lol, thanks (if you only knew)

1:48 am

grannyrose

and the slippers, to die for....lol...or may be not.

1:48 am

flosey

fuzzy warm sox

1:49 am

grannyrose

with the little grippy things on the soles?

1:49 am

flosey

no, these are really more bed sox I think

1:49 am

sprite

my friend gave me socks with fleece on the inside. So lovely soft and warm and cozy.

1:50 am

grannyrose

oh, please be careful, walking around.

1:50 am

flosey

nice gift, sprite

1:50 am

sprite

yes :) am very happy with them.

1:50 am

flosey

1:52 am

grannyrose

1:53 am

grannyrose

1:54 am

grannyrose

1:54 am

worzel

lien

1:54 am

grannyrose

xxxx worzel xxxxx

1:54 am

worzel

oh bum, sorry folks! Why do I keep doing that?

1:54 am

sprite

1:54 am

sprite

which is different from mestkevers, dung beetles.

1:54 am

worzel

sorry Mum - had a bit of a dodgy tummy this morning so been in and out - literally - quite a bit this morning lol

1:55 am

grannyrose

ahhh, thanx for the in4

1:55 am

sprite

not for me yet, thanks rose. Can close my eyes if others want them though.

1:55 am

grannyrose

poor worzel, is your poor little botty sore, dear?

1:55 am

sprite

lol, I see ALF is in the grid.

1:56 am

worzel

just misread your earlier comment about cutting claws and thought you meant dad's toenails pmsl!!!!!!

1:56 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah, sprite...i loved that show

1:57 am

worzel

my botkins is rather sore now, i must admit. But I think I'm empty now so I should be okay. I'll get Di to rub some cream in it later - that'll be nice for her!!! *giggling inwardly*

1:57 am

grannyrose

*forgives worzel* hard to read straight when your brain is going down the loo....lolol

1:57 am

sprite

me too, rose :) Guess we both are suckers for sarcastic humour, aren't we :D

1:58 am

sprite

rose clipped don's toen4, but he bit her.

1:58 am

worzel

flippin' cheek! Anyway, it's hard to flush out a brain when it's not there in the first place lmao xxxx

1:58 am

grannyrose

sprite, stop it, you naughty girl....roflol

1:58 am

worzel

lmao sprite

1:59 am

sprite

ok ok, he nibbled.

1:59 am

sprite

knowing how babble chog goes, before the end of today people will say don hit rose and she bit him in revenge...

2:00 am

worzel

does the pa5/12 extend at all?

2:00 am

grannyrose

of course the male brain is in his bum, that's why when they stand up and walk around they have such bright ideas, more oxygen getting to the brain....lolol

2:00 am

sprite

am starting to understand why Liz doesn't like this grid. Jeezzz it can't hold half the words it claims.

2:00 am

worzel

oh mum you do "crack" me up!

2:00 am

grannyrose

worzel 2 ways to spell pa5

2:01 am

worzel

that remind's me of a one-liner - they say the virgin's is a wise-crack!

2:01 am

grannyrose

*giggle*

2:02 am

sprite

was about to tell another virgin joke, then realised it isn't one in english :(

2:02 am

worzel

brb

2:04 am

sprite

I should get dressed and ready for the foot fetish lady. Hmz. Sooo not in the mood.

2:04 am

grannyrose

*chuckling* just went out to check the bird. it's still sulking on the floor of his cage. and don is sulking in his chair. oh, dear, what can the matter be? lolol

2:05 am

sprite

you know it, darling. Two adult males in one house, never easy. Wait, did I say adult and male in one sentence? Hm.

2:05 am

grannyrose

now, sprite, you know you need this. go, and enjoy.

2:05 am

flosey

have you ever heard that silly song about that rose

2:05 am

flosey

goes something like this:

2:05 am

flosey

Oh Dear, what can the matter be

2:05 am

grannyrose

lololol, another double negative....gonna write that down.

2:05 am

sprite

it is not the being there that I don't like. It is the getting ready to go and the getting there, lolol.

2:05 am

flosey

3 old maids got locked in the lavatory

2:06 am

flosey

they were there from Sunday to Saturday,

2:06 am

grannyrose

yes, flosey, i knew you would pick up on it.

2:06 am

flosey

one seemed to care, cause nobody knew they were there

2:06 am

sprite

ohhhh go on, how does it continue?

2:06 am

grannyrose

and nobody knew they were there

2:06 am

flosey

lol, that's all I can remember

2:07 am

flosey

wow, that goes back to my teen years

2:07 am

grannyrose

ditto, flosey. it's too sad...i know that little ditty

2:07 am

sprite

found it:
http://tinyurl.com/m53ugnv

2:08 am

grannyrose

wonder when it started? and how? and why?

2:09 am

grannyrose

thanx sprite

2:10 am

flosey

thanks Sprite, I'll check it out and get the words straight

2:10 am

worzel

back again!!

2:11 am

flosey

lol, you missed our song, Worzel.... from WAYYYYY back

2:11 am

sprite

"The fourth to come was old Mrs. Humphrey
She shifted and jiggled to get herself comfy
Then to her dismay, she could not get her bum free
And nobody knew she was there"

2:12 am

worzel

I just read it lol. I know so many rude versions of that song!

2:12 am

flosey

ah, never heard the rest of it, too funny

2:12 am

sprite

it is rather hilarious :)

2:13 am

sprite

"The sixth old lady was Emily Clancy
She went there 'cause something tickled her fancy
But when she got there it was ants in her pantsy
And nobody knew she was there"

2:13 am

grannyrose

such a giggle...oh my, sprite.

2:14 am

sprite

love it. Thanks for bringing it up.

2:14 am

sprite

ok, let's see if I can get dressed and babble at the same time, sigh... I don't wanna!

2:15 am

worzel

Bit like me - trying to play whilst running in and out of the lav!!! Roll up! Roll up! Come see Worzy and his amazing exploding bum!!!!

2:15 am

worzel

ewww sorry tmi!!!

2:17 am

grannyrose

aww worzel, plain water and toast, nothing on it at least until lunch-time, mate

2:18 am

flosey

thus speaketh our local medical officer of health

2:18 am

grannyrose

*gently pushes sprite* go on, dear, * deep breaths* you can do it.

2:18 am

worzel

i gotta go town in a minute, too! That should be fun! D'you know, I remember the old days - if you had to pay for a public toilet it was 2p, cheapest one in town now is 30p - it's a bloody liberty!

2:18 am

flosey

and now you will listen, worzel

2:18 am

grannyrose

*hangs head* oh dear. have i stepped out of place?

2:19 am

flosey

lol rose, you keep us healthy

2:19 am

worzel

oh I always listen to my Mum - she is the oracle of good sense.

2:19 am

sprite

ok, clothes on. Another 15 minutes of being at home :)

2:19 am

grannyrose

okay, flosey. you let me know if i step over that line, tight?

2:19 am

flosey

you needn't worry, rose

2:19 am

worzel

hmmm - a tight line?

2:20 am

sprite

then again, 2p in those days bought you half a bread, a pickle and a pint of beer.

2:20 am

flosey

was just being cheeky

2:20 am

grannyrose

and worzel, while you are in town, pick up some electrolyte replacement sachets.

2:20 am

sprite

you never do, rose. And if you did, we'd still love it. And you.

2:20 am

worzel

true, sprite, and you had enough money for a taxi home and fish and chips

2:20 am

grannyrose

aagghh...*right*

2:21 am

sprite

exactly. Since you can't get all that now for 30p, I guess it got cheaper.

2:21 am

worzel

i got some electrolyte in the house so I shall take one now b4 I leave the house xx

2:21 am

worzel

i just did a quick mental calculation and if you allowed for inflation between 1977 and today 2p for the toilet should actually cost you Â£4.38 now. Jeez, that's an expensive shite!

2:46 am

puglet

good night Flosey take care

2:47 am

Foffle

I'm fine ty. How are you? Aww bye flosey

2:47 am

grannyrose

oh, wow, foffle. you got the ca9. i am glad my clue helped.

2:48 am

Foffle

great clueing

2:48 am

grannyrose

good for you foffle. i had pretty bad muscle spasm in the lower back after working today. but now all is okay.

2:49 am

Foffle

ooch! you don't need to tell me about back pain - I have it constantly.

2:51 am

grannyrose

foffle, may i recommend magnesium malate. my only source is vitacost in the US of A. it is highly absorbable, and definitely helps with muscle spasms. you must have good functioning kidneys to use it.

2:53 am

Foffle

ty rose - writing that down. i just have pain killers just now and they don't even touch it

2:54 am

grannyrose

magnesium malate, is made from apple skins. it helped my 90+ year old MIL with her nocturnal cramps where no other drug would help. after taking it, she was cramp free for the first time in over 40 years.

2:55 am

Foffle

:-0 that sounds rematrkable

2:55 am

Foffle

remarkable

2:55 am

grannyrose

foffle, it would be interesting to know what your current magnesium levels are. it is a simple blood test.

2:56 am

grannyrose

when my levels were checked, they were abysmal. i didn't know that.

2:56 am

Foffle

yes, I'm having a blood test done in a few weeks. i'll ask them to test for that too

2:57 am

grannyrose

yeah, foffle. the site is vitacost....in america...it takes about 3-4 weeks to deliver.

2:58 am

Foffle

writing... is it expensive?

2:59 am

grannyrose

foffle, it is a component in my anatrin, another med from US of A, for the treatment of fibromyalgia.

3:00 am

sarah6girls

morning :)

3:00 am

puglet

morning sarah

3:00 am

grannyrose

foffle, if you look at the magnesium preparations available, you will find, even paying for delivery, the magnesium malate is quite cheap. 1250mg tabs, 180 of them for under AU$10

3:01 am

Foffle

morning sarah

3:01 am

Foffle

that's very reasonable

3:01 am

grannyrose

ohohohoh...my dearest sarah, i was just thinking i need to email you

3:02 am

sarah6girls

3:06 am

dc43

Foffle...can also get magnesium malate from amazon.co.uk

3:07 am

sarah6girls

bruno our puppy is so sweet my pic on here is him

3:08 am

grannyrose

dc43, hello from me. have you compared prices?

3:09 am

grannyrose

okay, sarah, perhaps tomorrow?? my wednesday. very busy, but will fill you in, sweetie

3:09 am

dc43

Â£16.42 for 360 tablets including delivery. Mine actually came from Belgium.

3:10 am

sarah6girls

ok rose i will email later today xx

3:10 am

grannyrose

dc 43, check out vitacost cost. much lower.

3:10 am

Foffle

thanks for the tip dc

3:11 am

dc43

yw

3:14 am

grannyrose

oh, just saw...360 tabs....yes, that would be better

3:22 am

grannyrose

ehhh, foffle, check out both sites....anyway you look at it, magnesium malate is what you need.

3:23 am

Foffle

thanks rose - I'll look into both

3:28 am

grannyrose

above all, foffle. please make sure your renal(kidney) function is okay.

3:29 am

Foffle

my renal functions are fine - checked recently

3:30 am

grannyrose

good. then go for it, dear. and i hope your life is much improved.

3:31 am

Foffle

that would be a nice thought - i can't imagine moving around without pain

3:31 am

grannyrose

foffle, i so heartily empathise with you, dear.

3:32 am

Foffle

ty rose. very sweet of you

3:36 am

grannyrose

nah, foffle. have been in pain constantly for over 10 years. i am always looking for an alternative to what the doctors want me to take.

3:37 am

grannyrose

lolol...i refuse to give in...there is always an alternative....

3:38 am

Foffle

I don't bother with the painkillers any more - they don't touch it

3:40 am

grannyrose

then you are looking at other causes of pain...one of which is muscle spasms....and around we go....to magnesium malate...

3:41 am

Foffle

certainly worth a try

3:42 am

grannyrose

yes, my dear. looking forward to your body's response to it. and praying rather vigorously that it it the answer.

3:44 am

grannyrose

it seems strange...i am a trained registered nurse...and i look at alternative medicines.

3:44 am

Foffle

I'll have to wait until I get paid on Friday before I order

3:45 am

grannyrose

in the meantime, dearest foffle. check out the costs.

3:46 am

Foffle

it just means you're an open minded trained registered nurse

3:49 am

grannyrose

*smiling at you* foffle....

3:50 am

Foffle

:)) back at you rose

3:54 am

grannyrose

you know...i like to think i am an holistic nurse. quite willing to follow doctor's orders. but also, quite willing to question the orders, to make sure the orders are right for my patient.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

good morning

3:55 am

rubyfoo

3:55 am

puglet

morning Ruby

3:56 am

rubyfoo

Does anybody know about dogster? I made pages for Rafaella and for Ruffio, but I wonder what will happen next.....

3:56 am

rubyfoo

3:56 am

Foffle

hiya ruby

3:56 am

puglet

I dont Ruby--what is it

3:58 am

rubyfoo

I was hanging around looking at dog sites and found it and it was easy to create pages for the pups. Usually, I'm unable to do stuff like that.

3:58 am

rubyfoo

but then I had 12 mails this AM asking me to join related groups. Uh oh.

3:59 am

grannyrose

4:00 am

grannyrose

ohhh. pugs !! you are still here...xxxx

4:00 am

puglet

I just been listening to you and Foffle

4:02 am

puglet

Rose hope you were not upset over the cartoon I sent you

4:04 am

Foffle

cuppa tea time bbl

4:04 am

rubyfoo

I thought the cartoon was funny!

4:04 am

puglet

bye Foffle

4:04 am

grannyrose

oh, my dearest pugs...no upset here...

4:05 am

grannyrose

enjoy your day, foffle

4:05 am

puglet

my sister sent it to me and i was just sharing

4:07 am

grannyrose

enjoy, foffle. nothing like a cuppa...

4:07 am

puglet

brb

4:12 am

grannyrose

okay... outta here. xoxoxox to you all. dinner nearly ready. see you at the flip.

4:13 am

Foffle

back with cuppa :) happy days

4:13 am

rubyfoo

bye {{rosie}}

4:13 am

Foffle

see you tomorrow rose. ty for everything

4:13 am

rubyfoo

wb, foffie

4:14 am

Foffle

ty ruby

4:14 am

rubyfoo

quick 74, but very far to go

4:15 am

Foffle

I only have 59 and starting to struggle...

4:18 am

rubyfoo

I finally read over the chog, foffie. I don't know how old you are, but I, too, have pain all the time, mostly from a twisted spine and related hip deterioration. However, I find that paracetimol + codeine, taken in the morning, permits me to function very well. I wTCH MY WEIGHT VERY CAREFULLY AND I THINK BEING SKINNY IS A HELP FOR MY SPINE AND HIP.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

sorry for shouting, I have an errant pinkie which hits caps

4:18 am

rubyfoo

I weigh myelf every day and eat accordinglyi.

4:19 am

Foffle

I'm 61 and overweight oh dear

4:19 am

rubyfoo

I'm 71 and stay about 5 lbs underweight, but eat enough protein

4:21 am

Foffle

i'm a great believer in eating protein - my problem is that i like carbs too much

4:21 am

rubyfoo

For the past 3-4 months, I've been walking our younger dog and although it is very difficult for me (she is headstrong and weighs about 70 lbs), the exercise is strengthening my legs and I've gained a lb of muscle in my (skinny) calves

4:22 am

rubyfoo

My diet is pretty balanced, I just keep candy out of the house (except when I go to the movies, once a month lol)

4:22 am

Foffle

well done! I can't walk very far at all. I have a walker which helps me

4:22 am

rubyfoo

I eat one slice of whole wheat bread a day bbut with cream cheese, butter and jam and put lots of boiled milk in my coffee in the morning

4:23 am

rubyfoo

Walking is very hard for me, too, but it is helping the dog get socialized, as she is very shy, and it is very nice to see the neighbors

4:23 am

Foffle

sounds yummy

4:24 am

rubyfoo

We eat lunch out most days in the close by, so-so restaurants and I EAT VERY LITTLE INNER

4:24 am

rubyfoo

whoops, there goes y pinkie again.

4:25 am

rubyfoo

before I started walking the dog, aside from kitchen stuff, I was spending hours reading on the couch.

4:25 am

rubyfoo

Lazy me.

4:25 am

puglet

I hope you dont let the wind blow you away Ruby-lol

4:25 am

Foffle

if i was in France I'd be in heaven with the food there. I used to go quite regularly when I lived in Holland

4:25 am

rubyfoo

Mostly I cook for (old) husband and dogs, so I eat whatever is around for dinner, frequently just a chunk of cheese and an apple

4:26 am

rubyfoo

Raffie is a good nchor!

4:26 am

Foffle

always looked for 'La menu' at restaurants

4:26 am

rubyfoo

anchor*

4:27 am

rubyfoo

I much prefer food in the UK. We're in a ulinary "dead spot" here in the mountains.

4:27 am

rubyfoo

culinary*

4:27 am

rubyfoo

What I love is English pub food

4:27 am

puglet

I bought my Pug a new harness yesterday because she's got a neck like a pig and kept slipping out of her collar and she was all prancy showing it off-lol

4:28 am

Foffle

Annecy? It's so beautiful there, I can't imagine the restaurants would be poor

4:28 am

rubyfoo

When I was working, we imported lots of industrial glass from Glaverbel, so I went to Brussels 2 or 3 times a year and loved it

4:29 am

rubyfoo

Everything is cooked with cheese or wine and the met is of very poor quality

4:29 am

Foffle

Brussels is ok if you speak French but it's awful for Dutch speakers like me

4:29 am

rubyfoo

Plus, because I am nervous with husband driving, We only go to 3 resto that are very close by, not even the 15 minutes into Annecy

4:30 am

rubyfoo

aaah, that could be a problem. I have a very close friend who lives in Brussels, but although she is younger, she is unable to travel any more and I am too tied to husband and dogs to get out of here at all

4:32 am

rubyfoo

I have to go now, but it was lovely talking to you foffie and much love to Pugs!!!

4:32 am

Foffle

Mind you the 'Dutch' they speak in Brugge is hardly recognisable

4:32 am

puglet

bye Ruby dear, hugs

4:32 am

rubyfoo

I loved Brugge but mostly went to Zeebrugge where one of the factories was :(

4:33 am

Foffle

Brugge is beautiful

4:33 am

rubyfoo

but I really loved the food on my trips as the company people wined me and dined me in style

4:33 am

rubyfoo

*woof*

4:33 am

Foffle

very nice

4:38 am

sprite

good morning again

4:38 am

4:39 am

sprite

will answer your emails after babble, had to go to the diabetes pediatrice this morning

4:40 am

puglet

all good I hope

4:40 am

sprite

oh, am ok. Just a touch of the flu. The foot lady bandaged the toe I banged yesterday, lol. She got all angry with me.

4:40 am

puglet

I havent been sleeping good for a couple of days and trouble with him truely too

4:41 am

sprite

oh darn it, darling. He should get his ass kicked. Or somewhere in that region.

4:41 am

puglet

you let your imune system down trying to entertain and all the stress too with everything

4:42 am

sprite

yes, it is true. It takes so much energy and once you run low on energy, every bug and virus grabs their chance, lol

4:43 am

puglet

the flu can make your sugar go whacky too---so how was your sugar this morning

4:44 am

sprite

hm didn't check, tbh. I know that when I get a fever, my sugar is crazy.

4:45 am

puglet

How did you hurt your toe

4:46 am

puglet

mine was up a tiny bit-145 but I think its from stress

4:46 am

sprite

stubbed it on the doorstep.

4:46 am

sprite

stress does that with me as well. When we had that shit with Tim, my sugar peaked like mad.

4:47 am

puglet

yow! I bet that stopped your heart for a sec-lol I stubbed mine last week on the foot of the bed and it didnt feel very good at all-lol

4:48 am

sprite

nah, I don't have a lot of feeling in my feet anymore. Didn't hurt that badly.

4:48 am

puglet

did you break it or just bruised it

4:48 am

sprite

neither. Na4 broken and lots of blood.

4:48 am

puglet

thats not good Sprite--are your feet and legs still swelling

4:49 am

sprite

have had neuropathy for years, long before I developed diabetes.

4:49 am

sprite

yes they are, but today isn't too bad :)

4:49 am

puglet

I need to come and take care of you--lol

4:50 am

sprite

hahahaha nah, you have your hands full with your sister and yourself, darling.

4:50 am

puglet

I hope you are planning on some days of resting and trying to get over all thats going on

4:51 am

sprite

today I can take it easy, we don't even have singing lesson tonight. Tomorrow I will have to cook dinner though, Rob will be late from work.

4:52 am

puglet

find something fast and simple then so you dont have to do too much

4:52 am

sprite

how is your day gonna be?

4:52 am

sprite

I told my husband that it will be soup, bread and something warm to go with the bread. Since I have to cook in fridays as well, and on4 a week is really enough.

4:53 am

puglet

since xp has stopped I keep having trouble with some of my sites and sending stuff---how are you and windows 7 doing

4:54 am

sprite

we are good friends by now. But my computer could handle win7, so I didn't have trouble at all.

4:54 am

puglet

that sounds good enough Sprite--they should understand you are not feeling well and up to full power

4:55 am

puglet

I hope this flu isnt that one that keeps going on and on

4:55 am

sprite

yes, they don't mind at all. Am gonna be smart about it and get a shopping list ready, so Rob can get the groceries for tomorrow as well :D

4:56 am

puglet

good for you! You dont need going out right now anyway

4:58 am

sprite

no I sure don't. Got rained on just now, on my way back from the foot lady.

4:59 am

puglet

I hope you didnt get too awful wet and cold

5:04 am

sprite

a little. But now am wearing a warm vest and socks and a little dog footwarmer, grin

5:04 am

And all these years later, I am grateful for every day, even though I whine sometimes

6:54 am

I was referring to attitudes I perceive in this country in general, not my own beliefs...yes, I feel women definitely have much more to offer the world when they're older.

6:54 am

aw well glad to drop by but must begin my day. . . tuesday I gets to sleep in until 7!

6:54 am

The women in the office were mostly Dominican, so there was lots of wonderful rum circulating as well as their traditional dishes -- and that was lunch time!

I do say that you should only meet publicly, and only for 15-20 min for coffee. that way if it is awful, it isnt too long that you cant stand it.

Good advice Sue, for meeting anyone that you "know" from the internet. Always better to do that on neutral ground at first.

8:02 am

suefrad625

here in the south everyone drives and then stays home. I didnt go to church and i dont drink and drive, so no meeting anyone except when i was i shooting pool. but i dont date where i hang out, too uncomfortable if it doesnt work out.

9:58 am

rururocks

what would happen if you took the dogs for a little vacation and left him on his own

9:58 am

rubyfoo

If they were smaller, I would. But I think he would die if left alone. He would totally stop eating

9:59 am

rubyfoo

He and the dogs are totally spoiled, certainly my fault, but still......at least the dogs appreciate it

10:01 am

rururocks

that's an awful lot of "responsibility" on you ruby

10:02 am

rubyfoo

there's nobody else to bear the blame. I know it's my own fault, but he's so old....
