cooee and g'day from me

2:31 am

worzel

Goooooooooood morning fellow Babblers!!!!! xxxxxx and hello Mummy!!!!! lol xx

2:35 am

worzel

if anyone wants to talk to me i'll be back in 2 - just gonna go put some coffee on xx

2:44 am

grannyrose

helloooo worzel. nice to see you, mate. how are things?

2:51 am

worzel

allo Mum - yeah, things not too bad, all things considered xx how's things with you and Dad?

2:53 am

grannyrose

not too bad, thanx de4. dad is fine. me, i wanna trade my back muscles in...

2:56 am

worzel

i'll swap them for my skin lol - i have a bout of what the doctor has called temporary aggressive psoriasis - caused by stress she reckons. I do hope your back isn't too bad xx

2:57 am

grannyrose

ugh, worzel, that's not good. have you overcome the insect problem now ? i think my back is stress related too. my employer is giving me grief.

2:59 am

worzel

D'you know, I went to what we call an NHS walk-in centre and they said it was bites. This was about 2 weeks ago. Thing is they were bites but the psoriasis apparently latched onto the bites and haven't let them clear up, but now I've been given some supersteroid cream and antibiotics - hopefully that'll do the trick. As for your employer tell them to - well, you know what I'D say! lmao xx

2:59 am

worzel

feign

2:59 am

worzel

oh crap i do apologise!

3:00 am

grannyrose

*giggle* yes, and i will not repeat it. how's diane? please tell her that you both are in my thoughts everyday. i wish you both some much happiness.

3:01 am

grannyrose

s'okay worzel. i am done....lol

3:01 am

grannyrose

* so much *

3:02 am

worzel

She is fine - as you know we are still very close friends and who knows - maybe one day I can behave myself. But that's not a conversation for in here x

3:02 am

grannyrose

yeah i know, mate.

3:03 am

worzel

Do you think Pugs is going to be ok? I get her emails every few days and, of course, reply to them with the warmest words I can think of. Being non-religious I don't understand the faith thing, but I hope her faith is strong enough to carry her through until she can "delouse" her house, so to speak!!

3:04 am

grannyrose

pugs is going to be fine. as soon as W gets out, her health is going to improve 100%.

3:05 am

worzel

As Hamlet said to Horatio "Angels and ministers of grace defend us" - so I shall send an angel her way. Don't know if i can muster up a minister of grace though lol

3:06 am

worzel

I started off quite liking this grid - 36 words in and my thickness has set in already

3:06 am

grannyrose

poor loe. can i help at all?

3:07 am

grannyrose

ugh * love*

3:07 am

worzel

phantom steep

3:07 am

grannyrose

okay i have fixed the b key, now the v key is playing up. i can't win>

3:08 am

worzel

no, i'll be ok Mum - the coffee's just started kicking in now. Mind you, that said, I keep seeing phantoms! Steep, speed, deep - I get the feeling the list is endless!!

3:08 am

grannyrose

lol...i kept wanting to type depend.

3:09 am

worzel

Oh Mum you should see my keyboard - it's a mess! The number 9 key is missing, as is the v and the b - so is the f10 key! You have to laugh!!

3:09 am

worzel

well depend mite not be there, but thank you for giving me a word from it!! tee hee xx

3:10 am

grannyrose

so how do you type those keys? with a pencil?

3:11 am

worzel

it's just the plastic bit on top of the actual letter/number that's missing - there's still a kind of rubber pointy thing there so I just press that. It's hard to explain the rubber point thing lmao but I know what I mean

3:11 am

grannyrose

worzel do you remember when my last grandchild was born? how sick he was?

3:11 am

worzel

plus i have no idea what the f10 key is for so that doesn't unduly bother me

3:11 am

worzel

i vaguely recall Mum, yea

3:13 am

grannyrose

well that de4 little baby turned one last week. he is full of beans, and so cheeky. he has the biggest blue eyes i have ever seen, and he is going to have fair curly hair. he is up and walking too.

3:14 am

grannyrose

brb, going to see what the dryer is up to.

3:15 am

worzel

that is wonderful to hear. If there's one thing I hate it's when children and animals are ill. And don't big blue eyes always melt your heart? I remember when my niece, Ailsa, was born she had little blue buttom eyes and she thankfully kept them

3:15 am

worzel

ok i brb too - must go find some breakfast! *semi-poof*

3:17 am

grannyrose

and back. just yell when you are, worzel

3:17 am

sprite

good morning all

3:17 am

grannyrose

my darling sprite{{hugs}} and heaps of kisses.

3:18 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend.

3:18 am

grannyrose

how are you sweetie? did you sleep okay?

3:19 am

sprite

I seem to be on a series of bad nights. And today I must cook dinner too, pffff. Just asked my love to do the shopping.

3:19 am

sprite

and you, rose? How are you today?

3:21 am

grannyrose

*gentle hug* sweetie, i am sorry to hear about the nights. the stress has finally got to me. my lower back has been wracked with spasms. i have taken my regular meds, plus magnesium, plus a baby dose of valium. the only one which allows me to walk with a modicum of relief is the endone. * sigh *

3:22 am

sprite

aw poor rose! Am so sorry to hear it. It isn't too surprising after all the shit last week, but very nasty to have to go through. Again. I hope you note everything down for the lawyer etc. This is all caused by work. Again.

3:23 am

grannyrose

i actually burst into tears this morning. poor don didn't know what to do with me. at least he knows how bad it is as i don't usually cry about it.

3:24 am

grannyrose

yup, have done so, sprite. i will get there, i know. i am an obstinate, stubborn person as you know.

3:24 am

sprite

that bad huh :( :( How awful. Don needs to learn to just hold you and be there, and not trying to DO anything. We are women. We can find our own solutions. All we need it is the being there for us part.

3:25 am

sprite

if you had not been obstinate and stubborn, sweetie, you wouldn't be there anymore. I know. From my own experience, grin.

3:25 am

grannyrose

*nodding head* exactly. but don is don, and he feels he should DO something to help me. poor man.

3:26 am

sprite

it is a male thing, rose. One of the amazing things I learned from that book of the Peases. It is how our brains are wired.

3:27 am

grannyrose

anyway, tomorrow is another day. i am looking forward to it. after church we are going to do a bit of shopping, and i mean a bit. don did the bulk of it today at one supermarket. th4 we are going to have some lunch while we are out.

3:28 am

sprite

sounds very good, rose. *hug*

3:29 am

grannyrose

so what's on the menu for dinner?

3:29 am

sprite

creamy tagliatelli with broccoli and chicken

3:30 am

grannyrose

oh, yum, sprite. * swoops in and puts knees under sprite's table*

3:31 am

sprite

*sets 2 extra plates and doubles the groceries' list*

3:31 am

grannyrose

lolol...oh, is don coming too? silly question!!

3:32 am

sprite

of course. Wouldn't dream of excluding him.

3:33 am

grannyrose

*sitting at sprite's table. fork at the ready* when's dinner? i'm hungry. where's the parmesan?

3:34 am

sprite

*grins* Well sweetie, it is 10.30 am here. So count it on your fingers. We will eat around 6 pm.

3:34 am

grannyrose

we were very naughty last night and had fish and chips from the local fish and chippery.

3:35 am

sprite

that is not bad at all, rose. One can have the occasional fat dinner as long as it is an exception. And as long as you enjoy it to the hilt when you do :)

3:37 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah, sprite. i enjoyed it alright. and we don't have it all that often. when you realise, we usually have 4-5 vegetables every night, plus the protein part of the meal. and we have lots of fresh fruit, youghurt every day too.

3:38 am

grannyrose

huh? where did that first u in yoghurt come from?

3:38 am

sprite

that is what I mean, rose. So in an eating pattern like that, the occasional snack night is just fine. If you didn't have that, you'd be fanatical and that is super unhealthy, lol.

3:40 am

sprite

well, we can have youghurt or we can have myghurt, it is up to you.

3:40 am

sprite

if you can make it here in time for dinner, we can even have donsghurt.

3:43 am

grannyrose

*giggle*

3:44 am

grannyrose

da4ed washing machine turned itself off before it had spun the last load. all good now.

3:45 am

sprite

Lol, a kid outside is screaming his head off, crying. And his mother comes running. Of course, nothing it really the matter. And I wonder: how come she still hasn't learned that you don't need to run when they yell... only when they are silent?

3:45 am

sprite

oh how nasty! Am glad it works properly now.

3:49 am

grannyrose

it's probably her first. by the time you get to kid number 3, you hand the kid the bandaid, and say make sure you wash it properly.

3:49 am

sprite

I only have two, lol. And my kids love to tell the story how I would say, when they came in bleeding: "Don't bleed on the carpet, dear."

3:52 am

sprite

oh a new word for the babble dictionary, rose: darnese - speak in curses

3:53 am

sprite

(squirrel)

3:54 am

grannyrose

love it, sprite....sorry....was discussing what to have dinner.

3:55 am

sprite

lol :) I knew it. That pasta sounded inviting, huh.

3:55 am

grannyrose

i don't think we will make it in time for the tagliatelli.

3:55 am

sprite

I was afraid of that. Da4 airplanes are so slow.

3:56 am

grannyrose

lolol...yeah they are....what is that film where they ride an " elevator " through the centre of earth?

3:57 am

sprite

is that the movie they made from the Jules Verne story?

3:58 am

grannyrose

not sure...don has gone to check the dvd library we have.

3:58 am

sprite

journey to the center of the earth?

3:58 am

sprite

ah lovely

3:59 am

grannyrose

it was about 2 colonies which are the only settled ar5 left on earth..

4:00 am

grannyrose

newer than 'journey'

4:00 am

grannyrose

this is driving me nuts...*hurry up don*

4:01 am

sprite

lolollll poor man, he does his best!

4:02 am

zoozzoom

It is ' journey to the center of the earth'

4:02 am

sprite

hiya zooz :) *hugs*

4:02 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Rose & Sprite :-)

4:03 am

zoozzoom

*hugs back*

4:03 am

grannyrose

oh, it was the re-make of total recall

4:03 am

grannyrose

g'day zooz

4:03 am

sprite

total recall remake

4:03 am

sprite

lol, just found it with the help of google. Thanks Don!

4:04 am

grannyrose

snap sprite

4:04 am

sprite

we still know how to do tis, don't we, rose, lollll

4:04 am

zoozzoom

And that tagliatelle dish does sound yummy, Sprite.

4:04 am

sprite

*puts another extra plate on the table for zooz*

4:05 am

zoozzoom

I could be therein a couple of hours lol

4:05 am

grannyrose

it was a really good movie. anyway...i want that 'elevator' it would mean i could pop over to sprite in no time.

4:05 am

sprite

you could easily make it in time, yes :)

4:05 am

zoozzoom

What a ride that would be...lol

4:05 am

sprite

I want it too, rose. Yes, it was a good remake. I liked the original too btw

4:06 am

zoozzoom

Not sure I would want a meal after a roller coaster journey..lol

4:06 am

sprite

this seems to be a brick wall grid

4:06 am

sprite

brb, bathroom stop

4:07 am

zoozzoom

Only just started, Sprite, yet I have found 50 already!

4:11 am

zoozzoom

bbl

4:12 am

grannyrose

for once sprite....i found this grid really easy.

4:13 am

sprite

yay, that kind of grid. Going like a speed train for the first 120 words, then Wham! Brick wall.

4:13 am

sprite

hm, in that case it is just me, lol

4:16 am

grannyrose

mind you, i had to give the monkeys a banana to find the pf words

4:16 am

sprite

*throws in a bunch of bananas as well*

4:17 am

grannyrose

lolol...ouch....you got me...

4:17 am

sprite

:D sorry... so easily confused... you all look alike...

4:18 am

sprite

ah, the german penny. Good, thanks rose. Two more down.

4:18 am

grannyrose

hey!!! what do you mean by that remark??

4:18 am

sprite

*blinks innocently* What remark?

4:18 am

sprite

just meant you are so handy with your fe4...

4:19 am

grannyrose

um...sprite, there are pf x 3.

4:19 am

sprite

ah, the other plural. Thanks hun.

4:20 am

grannyrose

how does he do that? when don walks, his socks spin around his foot, until the soles are on the top of his foot. i have never seen anything like it.

4:21 am

sprite

sounds like he walks on the side of his fe4. I have the same thing, and I do.

4:21 am

grannyrose

how do i know? i recently bought him socks with striped soles.

4:22 am

grannyrose

but..but...but...even when he wears shoes...the socks spin around his foot.

4:22 am

sprite

:D It never happens with your socks, rose. Because they are so tight. They still right where I put them in the morning.

4:22 am

sprite

they stay*

4:23 am

sprite

these socks are made for spinning... and that's what they'll do... one of these days these socks are gonna spin right of his foot...

4:23 am

grannyrose

oh, de4....roflol

4:24 am

ursh

hello all - clue please for the pe6/24 and 7 after the writing instruments

4:24 am

sprite

hi ursh :)

4:25 am

grannyrose

hey ya ursh. pe + the marquis de ****, and evil man

4:26 am

sprite

thanks rose

4:26 am

grannyrose

sorry, * an evil man*

4:26 am

ursh

ty rose got them

4:26 am

grannyrose

nice, you girls rock

4:27 am

sprite

*grin* who doesn't know the grandfather of the bdsm... oops... did I say that aloud...

4:27 am

grannyrose

lololol

4:30 am

grannyrose

strange. i just went to the fridge. can someone please explain...why has my man put the yoghurts away...upside down?

4:31 am

sprite

rose, that is beside the point. You should rejoice. Firstly: he did put it away. Secondly, he put it away in the right place. And you want to nag about the position???

4:32 am

grannyrose

yeah, you are right...what am i complaining about?? lolol

4:32 am

sprite

:D

4:32 am

scouser

Yes well hello all. I've been on proper holiday to Switzerland. Beautiful country.

4:32 am

scouser

Re: yoghurt - upside down so fruit goes to the "top"?

4:33 am

sprite

and it is quite possible that the top of the yoghurt is the most stable part. The biggest flat surface of it.

4:33 am

grannyrose

g'day scouser, de4. long time no see. how are you?

4:33 am

sprite

hi scouser! How lovely. Amazingly beautiful, isn't it.

4:33 am

scouser

I am well and happy. 'nough said !

4:34 am

grannyrose

scouser, what a lovely holiday. how long were you away?

4:34 am

scouser

Hi Sprite and GrannyRose and ursh too. Hi Zoozzoom - I was on IOW last week for a daytrip to the steam railway.

4:35 am

scouser

I was away 8 days coach and train trip. Fab.

4:35 am

grannyrose

what did you see? what did you do? what's the food like? how was your accommodation?

4:36 am

sprite

so... opening lickety. Am having a blonde day, apparently.

4:36 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Scouser, Yes the Smallbrook Junction..steam railway is a lovely ride. glad you enjoyed it :-)

4:36 am

scouser

Saw mountains gorges amazing feats of engineering on road and rail, yawning drops to foaming torrents down below, grass as green could be and flowers everywhere. Brill. Food was OK especially apple-cake. Accommodation was good though the manager was a sight too jolly !!

4:37 am

grannyrose

sprite, rather difficult for you, considering you are a brunette.

4:37 am

grannyrose

oh, how lovely, scouser.

4:37 am

sprite

yeah, and all natural. It isn't even artificial intelligence for me (brown hair dye)

4:37 am

scouser

We saw tiny glaciers - anyone who doesn't believe global warming isn't happening should go look at Switzerland and start worrying.

4:37 am

zoozzoom

You are selling it to me at least, Scouser!

4:38 am

sprite

wow scouser, makes me long to see it again

4:39 am

grannyrose

sprite...holland to switzerland...how far?

4:39 am

scouser

Sorry I think I double-negatived myself there. Anyone who doesn't believe it IS happening.......

4:40 am

grannyrose

how hard is it to do the trip?

4:41 am

sprite

hmmm by train? one day up, one day down, and then the time you want to spend there, I'd say.

4:41 am

grannyrose

scouser, i believe global warming is happening...but it is a natural cycle...not something we should panic about.

same as from here approx 500-600 miles as we went to Graubunden south-east switzerland. Went on ferry and coach and had stops in France one night each way. Saw storks on their nests there.

I do seriously think that we humans do a lot of damage to our planet and climate. But I also believe that the climate changes occurring at the moment are part of a natural cycle as well.

4:42 am

grannyrose

sprite, how do you feel about that sort of journey?

4:43 am

sprite

the storks are on their way back to numbers. We have hundreds or maybe even thousands of them again here in the netherlands. About 20 years ago you didn't see them at all.

4:44 am

sprite

am always willing, rose, but it is taxing, and if you mean as part of our 10 days' visit, I am not sure. You wouldn't be able to see much of the netherlands that way.

4:44 am

grannyrose

*nodding* no problems my darling.

4:45 am

sprite

*hugs rose* So many great things to do and so little time, huh :)

4:47 am

grannyrose

would rather see more about where you live, sprite.

4:49 am

sprite

Rob and I are already thinking up good stuff for your stay. We are thinking Amsterdam, windmills, the IJsselmeer/Afsluitdijk plus Giethoorn (which is called the Venice of the Netherlands). And maybe a visit to our tiny isles. And a couple of days in a quiet cottage in the woods?

4:50 am

grannyrose

and also...getting to 'know' you and yours. btw, was talking to don...it seems he has an antipathy to canoeing...he is afraid of it...because he doesn't a) like to go under the water, and b) he gets sick if the watercraft is just sittin and bobbing up and down. but, he is a great camper, under canvas.

4:50 am

sprite

Rob is positive about the idea of taking Don on a canoe trip to the Biesbosch, a very beautiful area of water and woods.

4:50 am

worzel

i do apologise for running off like that! Am back for a short while xx

4:51 am

sprite

he will be fine, I think, lol. Rob is the same. He hates traveling by boat, but in a canoe on flat water you don't ahve that problem. And he won't go under water.

it is canoeing in a canadian canoe, btw, a big open one, not such a tiny kayak. Very comfy. And they will probably camp out in the tipi tent. They can stand straight in it, also very comfy.

4:53 am

grannyrose

oh, good, will pass that info onto don. it should reassure him.

4:55 am

sprite

he is gonna love it there, rose. So much to make photographs of. So beautiful and untouched by humans.

Hi Sprite and Grannyrose. I went to Netherlands for first time last year to Rotterdam Jazz Festival - brill. Went to a diamond shop in Amsterdam for an hour of fascinating technical info. Another very green and friendly country.

4:57 am

sprite

am glad you enjoyed it, scouser

4:58 am

sprite

also, rose, I think it would be good to get our men in touch with eachother somewhere in the next year, so they can get acquainted a bit before meeting in the flesh.

4:59 am

scouser

I did. I stayed in luxury on a moored liner on a quay and used the metro to get to Ahoy for the festival.

4:59 am

sprite

oh wow scousers, very luxurious and nice :)

5:04 am

7:23 am

Love is giving a part of yourself to another without any expectation or need or it being given back in return. It is of doing a good deed when there is no one to witness it. it is holdling to your sense of what is right and wrong when dealing with others even though you may be derided for doing so. it is also, first and foremost about loving yourself.

jmcnrick

I found I didn't have time to read the paper on weekdays so i was basically paying to get paper to recycle. When I have a leasurely weekend I buy a paper on Sunday to read. I agree it is a different experience. I am glad to have options still.

Should I get out my black fedora and do my Judy Garland rendition of "Forget Your Troubles, Come On Get Happy"?

3:37 pm

crosshair

please don't.

3:37 pm

Soodle

If you are not nicer to me, Molls, I will break into a pretty awful rendition of Ole Man River..... There won't be a dry eye (or pair of pants) in the house!

3:38 pm

Soodle

So!! Enough about me(!!). How are you Cross, and you Molls?

3:39 pm

MollyL

Ooo, I want to hear Old Man River. I'll refrain from my song due to the snotty comment.

3:40 pm

Doing fine Soodles. rainy day here today. Have not won the lottery, but I am not being sued either. status quo:)

MollyL

There is a reason that the best wakes are the Irish ones. : D

3:46 pm

MollyL

Soodle, I think you need to go down to the pub, have a few, get up on the bar and sing The Gang Bang Song.

3:47 pm

Soodle

Irish wakes are absolutely marvelous! Everybody except the bereaved have a whale of a time.

3:47 pm

Soodle

Gang Bang has been done to death, Molly. I need to learn a new one....

3:47 pm

ChrissieDee

Are you matching the music to your mood or is the music dictating your mood?

3:48 pm

MollyL

There is this real jerk of a guy that works in my office. One afternoon, the guys asked me to go out for drinks. Said they were having a wake for Paul. I said, "Paul isn't dead". They said, "Yeah, we just wish he was."

3:48 pm

Soodle

Good question, Chrissie.... I will consult my astrologer, my psychologist and my butler, and let you know.. LOL

3:49 pm

crosshair

3:49 pm

MollyL

The butler knows all.

MollyL

Why not? Soodle did it at a christening.

3:52 pm

Soodle

In fairness, I never sang it at a funeral. I sang it once (and once only) at a Christening. There may have been strong liquor consumed....

3:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

off to a pot luck supper...made tomato basil salad, i am so sick of slicing and de seeding tomatoes....

3:52 pm

MollyL

Oh but *cough* you don't drink *cough* strong liquor

3:53 pm

Soodle

Back in the day...................

3:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

er, i take it we are using gang bang in a different context from the urban dictionary definition...

3:53 pm

MollyL

Sure, sure : D

3:53 pm

ChrissieDee

OMG Molly, how did you know that? Were you soodle's butler, lol

3:53 pm

MollyL

I am the eye in the sky

3:54 pm

Soodle

Sounds delish, TO.

3:54 pm

MollyL

I know a lot about Soodle. She pays me not to blab it all here.

3:55 pm

ChrissieDee

Only one definition as far as I know TO

3:55 pm

Soodle

Molly. The payments will be withheld forthwith if you don't button it right now.

3:55 pm

MollyL

Okay, nothing to see here people, move along.

3:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

molly,perhaps yoiu can confirm: is there another meaning over there?

3:57 pm

Soodle

Sheesh. Things escalate quickly on Babble. One minute chatting about what a person is putting on her iTunes, next, the person's butler is being interrogated.

3:57 pm

ChrissieDee

Hubby is singing True Love Ways :)

3:58 pm

ChrissieDee

Beautiful, sigh

3:59 pm

worzel

That the song from Rita Sue and Bob Too?

3:59 pm

worzel

Gang bang song, that is

3:59 pm

Soodle

TO I think the meaning of gang bang is pretty universal.

4:00 pm

Soodle

Don't know, Worzel, I never saw it.

4:01 pm

ChrissieDee

Could be a pop group in reverse?

4:02 pm

worzel

See, with my strange sense of humour I am now also picturing the gang bang song at a funeral, with the corpse popping in and out of the coffin! Oh dear . . .

Good, you're overdue one of those ;)

4:04 pm

jaxx7

After my past week, that is saying something! Chrissy has the headache gone?

4:05 pm

ChrissieDee

It has thanks

4:06 pm

jaxx7

Good. I should imagine that I didn't help it. My headache is called Julie, did yours have a name?

4:06 pm

worzel

Di's just shown me a picture that somebody took of a tawny owl hanging upside down on some telegraph wires! It was alive, so gawd knows what it was doing

4:07 pm

seeing the world in a different way, perhaps?

4:08 pm

worzel

Anyways, I'm departing for the evening - have to go and sort my ear out - bit of an oxymoron but it's becoming a pain in the butt! Hopefully see u all again soon x

4:08 pm

ChrissieDee

Jaxx, you didn't make it any worse, just had a bad day in work. I don't get enough headaches to be on first name terms with them, fortunately.

4:09 pm

jaxx7

Bye, Mr Gummidge. Good to 'see' you again.

4:09 pm

worzel

nn jaxx x

4:10 pm

jaxx7

I have decided to let things take their course, chrissie. My getting upset won't change the outcome. How grown up is that? lol

4:11 pm

Soodle

Any developments, Jaxx?

4:11 pm

ChrissieDee

Impressive ;). All you have to do now is hold on to that resolution

4:12 pm

jaxx7

Oh plenty, soodle. I depressed Chrissie yesterday and I refuse to do the same to you. The SW was an idiot but an idiot with a lot of power.

4:13 pm

Soodle

So, what's the current state of play?

4:14 pm

jaxx7

More meetings and a police investigation into the safety of our house.

4:14 pm

ChrissieDee

You did not depress me jaxx. A trouble shared.....

4:14 pm

jaxx7

I depressed me!

4:15 pm

ChrissieDee

No, you just get beaten down by life

4:16 pm

jaxx7

I have got my zip back.

4:16 pm

ChrissieDee

Quick Soodle, hide the sad songs, put gang bang back on

4:16 pm

Soodle

Oh Jaxx, I feel for you. ((()))

4:17 pm

Soodle

LOL. We'll have a Gang Bang,Oh yes we will.....

4:18 pm

jaxx7

They aren't going to find anything dangerous for Ashley here. they seem to think he is pushed out of the door in the morning and left to his own devices. Silly lot

4:20 pm

crosshair

sing it soodles!

4:20 pm

ChrissieDee

Off to make cocoa, may be back

4:20 pm

jaxx7

Do you take after your uncle with that lovely voice?

4:22 pm

Soodle

Ah. I would love to have a voice like Uncle Lou. I can hold a tune, but, nothing as melodic as him.

4:24 pm

jaxx7

I can't hold a tune to save my life. caterwauling best describes my singing. Choose something truly Irish, soodle

4:24 pm

Soodle

Having said that, knowing that I'm not the finest singer in the world never stopped me belting out a few Irish Rebel songs late at night.

4:26 pm

Soodle

Again (with apologies to Molls) strong liquor was involved...

4:26 pm

jaxx7

At the height of the 'troubles, I walked along the prom here behind an Irish redheaded lady defiantly singing Irish rebel songs.

4:27 pm

MollyL

Oh gee, what a coincidence.

4:28 pm

jaxx7

Goodness knows what she was doing in a sleepy little Devon seaside town. Most of the locals wouldn't have recognised the tunes anyway.

4:32 pm

Good evening, Everyone

7:51 pm

Minveryork

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

7:51 pm

uusue2

hi nef!

7:51 pm

Minveryork

Hello Nef! How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid

7:52 pm

Nef

Hi uusue and Min. Sue, keeping up and sending healing thoughts & prayers Frank's way

7:53 pm

Nef

I've been stressed lately; my DH got sick & was hospitalized, he's home again; but I'm doing the 24 hour nursing shifts again

7:54 pm

uusue2

very sorry to hear that, nef!! Frank at least doesn't need attention 24/7, thank goodness.

7:54 pm

Minveryork

I have not been keeping up, sorry. What's going on with Frank uusue2? I do hope that he feels better again soon.

7:55 pm

uusue2

min, his cancer has returned, he needed surgery to bypass an intestinal blockage, was in the hospital 18 days recovering from that, and then last week started what will be another 6 months of chemo

7:56 pm

Minveryork

Nef,why was your husband in the hospital? Mine was also in hospital for Pancreatitis, but he is doing better now.

7:56 pm

Minveryork

I am so sorry to hear that! My thoughts will be with you!

7:57 pm

uusue2

yes, it pretty much sucks, min, he thought he'd beaten it but apparently not, so he's pretty depressed about it - also because of the blockage he now has an ostomy bag which he hates very much

7:58 pm

Nef

My DH (also a Frank) has a urinary infection; which doesn't sound like much but any infection triggers all of the M.S. symptoms; he ended up falling 3 times in 24 hours and then couldn't walk. They sent him home with a foley catheter to drain his urine; but he's impulsive and accidentally pulls on it by turning wrong or catching the tubing on things and ---let's just say he's a handful.

7:58 pm

uusue2

fireworks!

7:59 pm

Nef

YAY, uusue!!!! WTG!!!

7:59 pm

uusue2

oh, that sounds like a real nuisance, nef! I hope he can get the thing out soon.

7:59 pm

Nef

Is his ostomy permanent, Sue?

8:01 pm

Nef

He just got out last night; so I hope so too but it doesn't sound like that will happen soon.

8:01 pm

uusue2

not necessarily, nef, but in order to be reversed the blockage has to go away. Also they will be giving him Avastin as part of his chemo, and he can't have surgery until he's been off that for a while.

8:01 pm

Minveryork

Congtratulaions uusue2 on your fireworks! Hooray for U

8:02 pm

Nef

SO he has it at least for another 6 months?

8:03 pm

uusue2

probably closer to a year, nef, he'll have to be off the Avastin for several months, I think. And then they'll have to verify (probably by some form of colonoscopy) that the blockage is in fact gone.

8:04 pm

Minveryork

Wishing U both the best of luck w/everything.{{{HUGS}}}

8:05 pm

uusue2

thanks, min!!

8:05 pm

Nef

((((Frank & Sue))))

8:07 pm

Nef

It's easy to say that there are worse things than an ostomy; but it is difficult to accept the change in body image; especially for men I think

8:07 pm

uusue2

((((Frank and Nef))))

8:08 pm

uusue2

indeed, nef; for the first few weeks he was really depressed about it. H'e getting slightly more used to it but it's still really hard for him.

8:10 pm

Nef

I'd tell him to give it a name; especially if he's starting to get used to it

8:10 pm

uusue2

ha, I know some people do that, doesn't seem quite like his thing

8:11 pm

uusue2

we do have a couple of friends who have them, and they have been very helpful to him, got him linked up with online support groups and whatnot

8:12 pm

Nef

I think it was easier for a few of my patients when they named it; it was like they could talk about it easier in the 3rd person then

8:12 pm

Nef

Oh, that's great! When you don't feel like you're the only person in the world with one; that helps

8:13 pm

uusue2

well, I'll see what he thinks - he knows that some of the people in the support group have done that

8:14 pm

uusue2

yes, it's been good for him to see that it's not unusual to take quite a while to recover from the surgery - then starting chemo (which he did last week) on top of it doesn't help

8:14 pm

Nef

It would be like "Old Fart Face is belching a lot today"

8:14 pm

uusue2

well, there you go :-) maybe he could name it for someone he really dislikes a lot :-)

8:14 pm

Nef

LOL! THere you go! :-)

8:15 pm

uusue2

anyway I am off now; give my love to your Frank, and to you too!! Take care -

8:16 pm

Nef

Give our love to your Frank too! Take car of yourself too; Good Night!

8:31 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye uuseue2!I will see you tomorrow in the chat log

Nef

Well, he's semi tucked in; lets see how long before he needs more help (I love the guy, but he looses his brain when he is sick (like a lot of men, I might add)

11:44 pm

Minveryork

I HATE it when husband is sick. He's such a huge baby and I do not even feel sorry for him when he is sick. I say get over it!May seem heartless, but I can't stand it when fully grown men act like little infantile jerks!

11:47 pm

Nef

A lot of them do, Min. They just aren't used to being vulnerable I guess. The problem with DH is his MS symptoms get so much worse when he's ill; and this time he's pretty impulsive and has a catheter, so the last thing I need is him jumping out of bed, falling down and pulling the urine tube out.
