3:25 am

gapeach

3:25 am

grannyrose

okay, i guess. i'm having echocardiogram tomorrow, and see cardiologist the following week.

3:26 am

gapeach

I'm sending you positive energy, Rose....prayers. Please let us know how it goes.

3:27 am

grannyrose

3:28 am

3:32 am

Good morning, sprite

3:33 am

sprite

3:37 am

sprite

hi sweetie :) *hugs* Yeah, could be worse. How about yourself? ECG tomorrow, I see. How are the feet?

3:37 am

gapeach

Doing OK today, sprite. How are you doing?

3:38 am

sprite

I am fine! Just dropped off the daughter and the husband and the dog. Home alone!

3:38 am

grannyrose

feet are where i lastsaw them, on the ends of my legs....lol

3:39 am

sprite

lolollll and how do they look, darling? Swollen or not?

3:39 am

grannyrose

lol, did you run through the house, screaming..YAHOO!!!...WHEE!!!

3:40 am

grannyrose

feet not swollen, which is good

3:40 am

sprite

I got my groceries, went into the house and left the door wide open, unpacked and stored, closed the door and made myself a yummy breakfast :)

3:41 am

sprite

yayyy for the feet!

3:43 am

grannyrose

i had a late brekky yesterday, when don and i went to the honey farm. the best omelet with cheese, tomatos, bacon, and mushrooms. and the chef cooked it in....wait for it....butter...oh my. the taste was soooo good.

3:43 am

sprite

oh that sounds so delish!

3:43 am

grannyrose

and it was very naughty...

3:44 am

sprite

naughty is good. As long as it is the exception and not the rule.

3:45 am

sprite

so, if there is a hench man, why not hench?

3:46 am

grannyrose

because as usual the man needs to tag along to everything.

3:46 am

sprite

*giggles*

3:49 am

sprite

I am having grapes, strawberries, croissant and a donut.

3:50 am

sprite

doughnut*

3:50 am

grannyrose

oh, nice. enjoy every mouthful, dearest.

3:50 am

sprite

I am :) it is delish.

3:50 am

grannyrose

any yoghurt with the berries?

3:51 am

gapeach

OK, I'm hungry now.....back in a few

3:51 am

sprite

nope, just the fruit

3:51 am

grannyrose

don and i are hooked on greek yoghurt. lol, sorry peach

3:51 am

sprite

hehehe go peach :)

3:51 am

sprite

I love greek yoghurt. Rob too.

3:53 am

grannyrose

i used to avoid yoghurt because i thought it was full of fats. but it isn't. and it's such a great source of calcium. we just avoid the ones full of sugar now.

3:54 am

sprite

it is great food

3:56 am

sprite

oooohhhhh cool wind through the house!

3:57 am

grannyrose

oh, sprite, i have to tell you. when we got out of the car at church yesterday, i realised don had combed neither his beard or hair.

3:57 am

sprite

oh LOL

3:58 am

grannyrose

so there i was, spitting on my fingers and trying to get his hair to lie down. he refused my offer to spit in his beard...strange that.

3:58 am

sprite

oh how odd. Didn't he have a mother?

3:58 am

grannyrose

lolol

4:00 am

sprite

my kids go all YUCHHHHH as well when I try to rub away a spot on their cheek or something. And I tell them: it didn't kill you in 16 (or 18) years, it won't kill you now.

4:00 am

grannyrose

nice about the breeze, sprite. will that ease off the headache?

4:01 am

sprite

no but it cools me down, which is nice in itself. I am in for a treat these days. They predict thunderstorms at noon, around dinner, and tomorrow early morning. Ah well. Nothing I have to do, I can relax as much as I like.

4:03 am

sprite

oh you should have seen them... trying to get the second canoe on the canoe wagon. It didn't fit through the hole. Caya told them to twist the canoe a little, but would they listen? Noooo... Tools out, demolishing half the wagon, still no dice... Caya was standing next to me now, and we both yelled: Twist the darn thing a little. And yes, finally they did, and it fit...

4:04 am

sprite

and my lovely girl smiled at me and said: "I am set for the whole holiday, mum. Two guys together, they are gonna be so manly to prove themselves the whole time, I won't have to lift a finger." She is wise, that 'un.

4:05 am

grannyrose

oh i wish i had been a fly on the wall...and nice that the storms are about to break. it will be a relief in more ways than one.

4:05 am

grannyrose

clever caya!!

4:05 am

sprite

so true. The netherlands is not a good place to have a hot summer. As soon as the temp goes over 25 C, whoppa, thunderstorms.

4:06 am

sprite

she is so smart. Always has been. She could make her dad jump through a burning hoop from day one.

4:06 am

grannyrose

really, sprite? why is that? i didn't think the netherlands were mountainous. but then geography is not my strong point....much to don's despair.

4:07 am

sprite

mountainous? LOLOLLLL um no. Flat land, here. Very very flat land. We are actually on the bottom of the sea, you know. Nope, sea climate. Very humid as soon as it gets hot.

4:09 am

sprite

I hope it is not a bad omen that there is a broken canoe in the grid...

4:09 am

grannyrose

and that is because the land is so flat? the high humidity i mean...i would have thought the sea breezes would blow the air around, and cool.

4:10 am

sprite

not much breeze on hot days here. I think it is because we are a very wet land, rose. We are below sea level. Lots and lots of water all over the place.

4:11 am

grannyrose

that makes sense, sprite.

4:12 am

sprite

I am happiest when it is around 20C with a light breeze. I could easily enjoy that from May till October :)

4:14 am

grannyrose

a it cool temp wise for me....but what makes you happy, makes me happy. xoxox

4:15 am

grannyrose

ugh * bit *

4:15 am

sprite

we must drive you to the IJsselmeer when you are here.

4:15 am

sprite

hehehe yeah you are used to much hotter weather. I couldn't function where you live, I think.

4:16 am

grannyrose

np's sprite, i'll send you to hobart, capital of tasmania.

4:16 am

sprite

sounds good! Always thought I have an inner tasmanian devil.

4:18 am

grannyrose

never mind think...i know....you are after all the sister of my soul...

4:19 am

sprite

looked it up, looks like a nice climate. But it is far away from you.

4:19 am

sprite

*grins* Sister tasmanian devil soul :)

4:20 am

grannyrose

no. sprite. on the ferry and drive straight down the middle, we would be there by lunch-time. but if we flew, we would be there for breakfast.

4:21 am

sprite

omg... that is close enough. I would love that. Am trying to prep my love... to emigrate once he gets his pension...

4:21 am

grannyrose

just don't expect me there in winter...too b....y cold.

4:21 am

grannyrose

oh??? that is a possibility??

4:22 am

sprite

it might be. I think I would like it.

4:23 am

grannyrose

it would be lovely. and tasmania has some great waterways. rob and caya would love it.

4:24 am

sprite

I think caya might come along, or stay here for her study. Don't know. Yes, great waterways, great nature. The possibility to build something the way we want it... room to breathe.

4:25 am

sprite

I would love a place near or in a forest.

4:25 am

grannyrose

caya could transfer from where she would currently be studying, to one of our uni's.

4:26 am

sprite

I wouldn't be surprised if she would like that.

4:26 am

sprite

anyway, for now it is only dreams, but who knows.

4:26 am

grannyrose

np's sprite. about 45% of tasmania is natural forest, preserved by our parks and forests department.

4:27 am

grannyrose

dream on, beautiful dreamer

4:27 am

sprite

oh wowwww god I would love to live there. Just a small place, easy to keep clean. With internet, though ;)

4:28 am

sprite

:D I will. Dreams are powerful magic.

4:29 am

grannyrose

*giggle* you would be surprised at the fights we, the great unwashed, have with companies who want to log our forests. they lose all the time, but it doesn't stop them from trying. * sigh *

4:30 am

sprite

stupid assholes. Don't they know we need forests? To breathe, if nothing else?

4:30 am

grannyrose

by the time you get here, we will have the national broadband network happening, all over australia.

4:31 am

sprite

oh that would be awesome. Guess I should inquire whether Rob's pension would be payable in Australia, if we moved.

4:31 am

grannyrose

*sigh* like all big companies, they only see the almighty dollar. but we do win.

4:32 am

sprite

am glad you win. Am adding my vote.

4:32 am

grannyrose

if it's anything like the british pension, i am thinking it would.

4:33 am

sprite

yes, I think it might.

4:33 am

sprite

Rob could easily find out, I think. Nice project for when he is back from holidays :)

4:35 am

sprite

fireflies. Friendly grid today. Some really cool words.

4:36 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!

4:37 am

sprite

I just found out that our AOW (state pension) is payable wherever we live. So that is one.

4:37 am

Dianne

Hi gals - just reading the chat. Rose, what kind of visa do you need to settle there?

4:38 am

sprite

hi Dianne! *hug*

4:38 am

grannyrose

dianne, do you know? i am not sure. perhaps you will find the answer on google.

4:39 am

Dianne

I have no idea about Australian visas.

4:41 am

grannyrose

dianne, do you still hold US citizenship?

4:41 am

sprite

me neither. You guys have 180 different kinds of visa, I just read here.

4:41 am

grannyrose

we have a lot of dual citizenship people here.

4:42 am

sprite

well, first thing we should do is save up for a trip to australie, rose. Visit you, and Liz, and travel around a bit in that tasmanian area.

4:42 am

Dianne

Yes Rose, we have our US "papers".

4:42 am

grannyrose

yes, dear sprite.

4:42 am

Dianne

I know Rose - my oldest son is one of them :)

4:43 am

grannyrose

dianne, your son is here?

4:43 am

Dianne

Yes, in

4:45 am

Dianne

In Brisbane

4:48 am

grannyrose

well that should help you a little, dianne. have you asked him? about the visa? i think you have prove you and hubby will not need support from the government ( but that depends on your ages ) and that you both have enough to support you and pay for your medical/health services. * but don't quote me, please *

4:49 am

Dianne

Rose, I am not interested in living in Australia. When we retire we will go back to the USA. I was just following along on Sprite's future dreams.

4:50 am

grannyrose

what a shame, dianne. would like to have had you here, too. call me greedy...i don't mind. i like to have friends where i can see them...

4:51 am

sprite

thanks Dianne :) My being handicapped is gonna be a problem, I think. Ah well, step by step.

4:51 am

Dianne

I would love to be able to visit Australia more.

4:53 am

grannyrose

sprite, if you have support from the government over there, surely it would carry to here.

4:53 am

Dianne

All countries are concerned about people coming and being a "burden" on the government. Look what's going on with the US?Mexican border and all those kids coming to the states.

4:53 am

grannyrose

yeah, it's crazy, dianne.

4:54 am

rolin

grannyrose...the immigration laws are very strict in regards who can qualify for residency

4:54 am

sprite

yes rose, it might. It is going to be a battle, as far as I can tell, though.

4:55 am

Dianne

Sprite - you should check on what Rose said. I know some European countries will accept other European countries health plans.

4:55 am

sprite

am gonna look into it. Thanks for helping :)

4:56 am

sprite

and hi, rolin :) Liz and her husband are beautiful people, it was so great to meet them.

4:56 am

grannyrose

i know rolin...but i would be sprite's sponsor...that might carry on the day.

4:56 am

Trifioso

good morning friends.

4:56 am

grannyrose

and g'day to rolin and trif.

4:56 am

rolin

hey sprite...they were as impressed with you it seems..*s*

4:57 am

sprite

hi Triffles! *hugs* How have you been?

4:57 am

Trifioso

very well thank you. enjoying the last month of summer

4:58 am

sprite

awww that is sweet, ro :) We clicked so well, it wasn't awkward at all.

4:58 am

sprite

enjoying sounds good, Trif. How's the love life? And how are the children?

4:58 am

Trifioso

going to focus of rescuing my poor neglected gardens this week.

5:04 am

grannyrose

please pray for my garden. i sent beloved out with secateurs and a spade to cut back the ginger. * rolls eyes * i am dreading going out in the morning and seeing what havoc he has wreaked.

5:04 am

sprite

delegate and let go, rose, lolollll. It will get done... at his time and in his way. And that won't be yours, but still ok.

5:05 am

sprite

hm the hiccup ate my message. Trif, gardenS no less?

5:07 am

grannyrose

lol, naughty hiccup. sprite i have been so laid back today...just realised i haven't put out my meds for the next week...

5:08 am

sprite

wow rose, good for you. There is still time. Laid back is the best. Proud of you.

5:12 am

sprite

ok lovely people, I am gonna lie down for a bit. A big *hug* and lots of love.
And to all, a blessed day and a peaceful night.

5:12 am

grannyrose

thanx my darling...i am trying to not stress.

5:13 am

grannyrose

He had a seizure last week. He is okay now. He bounced right back. Took him to the neurologist the next day..he said he could go to the workshop so off he went. I worry about that happening constantly but it had not happened 2 years.

Anniebrook

6:13 am

rubyfoo

was he at home at the time? You must have been very frightened

6:14 am

rubyfoo

I think one of the problems with seizures (epilepsy runs in my family) is that nothing shows up in a brain scan unless it is happening at that moment

6:15 am

Anniebrook

I was coming back from the eye doctor, got a call on my cell phone and drove straight to the hosp. He was alert so I took him home. All his scans show nothing.

6:16 am

Anniebrook

It started when he was 25 years old.

crosshair

you can get leaf in the Twinnings brands i believe

6:43 am

grannyrose

nice crossy, will bring you a new one, in case that one falls apart.

6:43 am

Yes a friend of mine gave me a gift of leafed Twinnings tea a couple of years ago.

6:43 am

sukee

That was green tea though

6:44 am

crosshair

the tea ball? I think not; it is shaped like a largish robins egg and perforated with holes on both sides and it threaded in the middle, . It has a small chain with a small metal bar at the end made to dangle outside the teapot. It is much dented but still works fine:)

6:46 am

crosshair

7:48 am

sukee

When I told him I don't wear my glasses all the time he wasn't bothered since they are just for distance.

7:48 am

crosshair

it is ok, bring who you wish, rose. breakfast around here is always a groaning board affair with way too much food. When i really get going in the kitchen with it, most who partake will skip the noonday meal and perhaps pick at a light dinner:)

7:49 am

MimiCat

((crossy))

7:49 am

The music had nothing to do with the movie. It was John Barry recycling everything else he wrote.

8:18 am

grannyrose

omg....just realised it is nearly 11:30 pm ...and i am having sooo much fun.

8:18 am

MimiCat

Are we talking about the same movie? It was mostly all different classical pieces. But the parts that were original were beautiful, imo. The music was what people were mostly listening to in that era.

8:19 am

MimiCat

Having so much fun this way....can you imaging actually being here with us crazy, wonderful people?!!!

mimi...never in a million years....i am looking forward to my visit to your part of the world so much.

8:20 am

godthaab

Yes. I just didn't think the music was connected to the movie. I was really distracted by it. I can see classical in some scenes, but not all. I would have scored it differently.

8:20 am

I'll love being your tour guide!

hi min

7:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi, min

7:06 pm

MollyL

Hey Min, just to let you know, the Flicker photo link is either broken or has been removed. So your descriptions of the Jack photos in your profile no longer make sense.

7:06 pm

periwinkle

la5/12 interesting def. other than a woman's name

7:07 pm

cybernan

off to get supper going -- see you at the flip if I'm still awake.

7:07 pm

MollyL

Maybe they were all monks who dreamed of La5

7:08 pm

periwinkle

maybe

7:09 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye cybernan! I'll see you tomorrow in the chat log.

7:10 pm

Minveryork

Thank you MollyL! I wonder how that happened! How can I get my pics back? Has this happened to other babblers?

7:12 pm

MollyL

Min, your pictures should still be on Flicker. They are just not showing up here. As to why it's no longer working, that is a question for Dr. God.

7:13 pm

Minveryork

I will give it a day or two and then I will contact Dr. God.

7:13 pm

MollyL

It's been down for a lot longer than a day or two.

7:15 pm

MollyL

As for other people who play Babble, no one who originally had a link to their Flicker photos still has it. It is a site error.

7:16 pm

Minveryork

Well I have not been on Babble much lately.Those pics have been in profile for a long time. Any babbler who cared to see my profile should have seen pics by now

7:17 pm

MollyL

True enough. I just thought I would let you know that your descriptions of the photos in your profile no longer make sense. Too bad, Jack is a cute dog.

7:18 pm

Minveryork

Yes, he is definitely a cute dog. Thanks again for update

7:21 pm

Minveryork

At least we can still see see our profile pictures, which I do change every single day. I like it that you do as well.

Hello penquis! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

7:52 pm

MollyL

Min, what are you doing for your short vacation between summer school and the fall semester?

7:54 pm

Minveryork

Not much MollyL. Going to VT for a week&I'll be catching up on appointments. Too bad no Babble meetups in Aug.

7:55 pm

Minveryork

Both my dog and I have dental appointments. I also need a mammogram and a physical. Also getting car repaired.

7:56 pm

MollyL

Dogs go to the dentist?

7:57 pm

Minveryork

Yes, I take my dog to get his teeth cleaned every 2 yrs.

7:57 pm

Minveryork

I have tried to brush his teeth, but it is such a struggle!

8:00 pm

bichon

Yes they do Molly and it's expensive.

8:00 pm

bichon

I give my two Bully sticks to chew on and it does a fantastic job

8:05 pm

Minveryork

How often do you give your dogs the sticks bichon? I have never done that.I think chewing on things does not always to the job 100 percent. My dentist is not expensive and I only do it every 2 yrs. Also only have one dog which makes a a big difference, I am sure.

8:07 pm

penquis

en 7 please?

8:08 pm

NANCY

clue for ca 7 please

8:09 pm

bichon

I try to give them it every day. If it's a big stick, I'll take it away and reuse for the next day. This is *the* only thing they will chew on. The Vet does dental work and it costs about $250-$300 per dog, but blood tests for pre-op
