About three days ago, she really crawled for the first time..and I was on skype and saw! and then the next day she pulled herself to standing for the first time, and then figured out walking along furniture and then tried to walk without furniture..all in about 40 seconds!!

trivia: the only place I've ever seen the pf word is in a Nero Wolfe novel

3:25 am

grannyrose

*giggle* if you could log in a little later, sprite, i or pugs use it...in jest of course. it's a lovely word, sounds like what it means

3:45 am

jwr

granny - were you talking to me? I got confused with the commas and thought it was sprite - then realized that didn't make sense. Do you really use it? In that spelling? The 6-letter version is the common one - a much heavier (un-lovely) pronunciation. When Nero uses it, it is the merest, most refined, spit of breath

3:46 am

grannyrose

jwr, sprite, pugs and i use a lot of the 'breathy' words. just showing off i guess. but it fits into the log...we also use pfft, and ahem a lot.

3:47 am

grannyrose

not to mention hmph as well.

3:48 am

grannyrose

we love to play with words...it amuses us.

3:50 am

jwr

We

3:50 am

grannyrose

jwr, if you ever have the time and the inclination, check out sprite's profile. in it she has many words which are " not in the dictionary" to which she has attached a meaning. very entertaining.

3:51 am

jwr

to continue ... we'd better love wordplay. If not, it would be a hellish amount of work, wouldn't it?

3:52 am

grannyrose

lol, absolutely, jwr...my hubby is a master of punning, much like our ruru. if those two are ever in the same room, you had better have 911 on speed dial.

3:53 am

jwr

I keep meaning to add to the list -- I mean "real" words -- but I keep forgetting to write them down. The only ones I remember right now are onlay (dentists have been using that for decades), and ronin

3:53 am

jwr

Don't know if I could live with a punner. Groans hurt.

3:55 am

jwr

Granny, were you calling 9-1-1 for an ambulance ... or the police to report a murder you'd just committed.

3:55 am

grannyrose

jwr...laughter is so good for us, even groaning at humor. i might be groaning out aloud, but inside i am killing myself laughing. all good for the digestion, don't you know?

3:56 am

grannyrose

*giggle* jwr...now there lies the problem....

3:56 am

grannyrose

hmmm, would it be justifiable homicide??

3:57 am

jwr

Uh oh. Encouraging puns at home is what the psychologists call co-dependency.

3:57 am

grannyrose

and you have hit the nail on the head!! and just what is the problem??

3:58 am

jwr

Justifiable, of course, particularly when the prosecution read off some prime examples for the jury!

3:58 am

grannyrose

lolol...we would have to give the jury time to climb back onto their chairs, right??

4:00 am

grannyrose

i mean, who can give a verdict while they are rolling on the floor laughing?

4:01 am

jwr

Certainly. ... Delicious chatting with you. Gotta get back to work. Left 12 for the morning but this is such a tough grid, it's not as much fun as puns. Last word: Didn't you mention that you "died" laughing. That would make the defendant a serial killer!

4:01 am

grannyrose

ugh, watching the news...riots in missouri...it's so sad...and at the same time...i hope the afro-americans win the recognition they deserve.

4:01 am

grannyrose

lolol...jwr...np's...see you later. xoxox

4:05 am

sprite

good morning all

4:05 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and xxxx sprite

4:05 am

sprite

rose! *hugs* Hello my dear friend. Great to see you. How was your day?

4:06 am

grannyrose

sprite, had an appointment with my personal doctor this morning. she was shocked by a) workcovers attitude and b) by my employer's attitude.

4:07 am

sprite

oh, and is there something she can do?

4:08 am

grannyrose

but she is supporting me all the way. haven't heard anything from the rep. will email tomorrow to find out where he/she is.

4:08 am

grannyrose

she has put on my certificate, that the exacerbation of my FM is delaying my full recovery.

4:09 am

grannyrose

darling, how are you this morning? good or bad night? is boyo behaving?

4:11 am

grannyrose

darn i forgot to ring workcover insurer and request a copy of their orthopaedic surgeon's report. will do so tomorrow. they never sent a copy to my own doctor...very rude of them.

4:11 am

sprite

am really interested in hearing how this all pans out

4:12 am

sprite

I think work is digging their own grave atm

4:12 am

grannyrose

my union rep and doctor agree with you, sprite

4:13 am

sprite

I am ok this morning. Had a good night. Boyo is behaving beautifully, still! Almost a whole week!

4:14 am

grannyrose

hope for the boyo yet then...nice sprite...long may it be. and how is your dearly beloved....still okay?

4:14 am

sprite

am so sorry you have to go through this all, rose. I sort of had the same thing, years back. Work doing all they could to make it stick I was malingering (sp?) and my doctors very upset because I was suffering so bad.

4:15 am

sprite

yes, my love is doing well. First day of work today for him, after a good vacation. He was ready for it, he said.

4:15 am

grannyrose

sprite, your spelling and doctors fine...your work gets the thumbs down.

4:17 am

sprite

hehehe indeed. Even workcover was upset at a certain point, speaking up for me at work meetings! But I was in no condition to fight them. I couldn't even pick up the phone anymore at some point.

4:18 am

sprite

oh, this is a tiny stinker of a grid! I kinda like those, grin.

4:18 am

sprite

*smug* phantom: porcupine

4:19 am

grannyrose

awww, darling...my hugs and kisses for that...me??? i have had such bad back muscles spasms i have almost been unable to walk.

4:20 am

grannyrose

it is such a pity that the majority of "sufferer's" make it so hard for the few.

4:20 am

sprite

yeah it was hell, but it is long over, thank God. Jeezzz rose, yes, that is stress, and no wonder. They make you even worse off by pretending you are not sick. That makes ME sick. *hugs and soooo many healing vibes*

4:21 am

sprite

yes, the fakers mess it up for the truly sick. But work should know its people better.

4:22 am

sprite

for crying out loud, I had a tumor removed the size of a small football. Day after I was back at work. Same with a broken nose, didn't miss a day.

4:24 am

grannyrose

and i have paper work which tells my employer i was back, doing 9 hour shifts, 3 days after i fell...if that doesn't demonstrate loyalty to my workplace, what does?

4:25 am

sprite

absolutely. No good deed ever goes unpunished, rose. They are idiots. Please be good to yourself and try and relax in between the attacks :(

4:26 am

grannyrose

trying to do so, sprite...but it is very difficult to do. btw, have you heard from pugs lately? i am worried for hyer welfare.

4:27 am

grannyrose

*groan* ....*her*

4:27 am

sprite

I think the last time was her last email to us all, rose. I have faith in her. But she is going through a very tough phase. W is misbehaving. But if all pans out, he is out of the house at least now, and will be off her property in a few weeks.

4:29 am

grannyrose

woohoo, according to the weather forecast...we will be into the high teens temperature-wise in two days.

4:29 am

sprite

oh nice, rose

4:29 am

grannyrose

yeah, sprite...that is the way i read it...i so hope all is finally going her way.

4:31 am

sprite

and it wouldn't be weird, once that all is behind her, if she would fall into a black hole for a bit, rose. She's been under so much pressure for so long. But she will pull through. And we will be there for her all the way.

4:31 am

grannyrose

oh, and my credit card statement arrived today...the current balance is so low...i am actually laughing..

4:32 am

sprite

awesome :) Wish I could say the same, lol.

4:32 am

grannyrose

i have to admit i am leaning on don more and more.

4:33 am

sprite

you should, darling. This is way too much to take for one person alone. You must realise that work and workcover are groups of people. You are up against a mob. That is very taxing.

4:35 am

grannyrose

don is so loving and supportive....lol...you should have seen my vicar's face last sunday...i told her i was going supermarket shopping after church....she was so incensed...

4:36 am

sprite

as she should be, silly. That kind of stuff is easily delegated, and Don is more than willing. Let go of it for now. Spare your energy for the fight.

4:36 am

grannyrose

but i knew i had to walk to alleviate the muscle spasms...

4:37 am

sprite

walking is not supermarket shopping. Two very different things. And please please tell me you were sitting in church!

4:40 am

grannyrose

sprite...i am so insecure...he tells me of the FEMALE eople he meets when he is in the supermarket. i have to admit to feelings of jealousy.

4:41 am

sprite

aw sweetie. Of course you are insecure, after all that has been happening to you. Kind of shaken on the fundations. But trust him. He will look. Get hungry outdoors, maybe even, lol. But he will come home to eat :)

4:41 am

grannyrose

sprite, i sat as much as i can. i walked up to the altar rail, in tears, leaning heavily on don's arm.

4:42 am

grannyrose

awww, sprite. you are amazing...so insightful.

4:43 am

sprite

you are my soul sister, rose, there is so much I recognize in you. *hugs*

4:43 am

grannyrose

loves ya, sprite. xoxox

4:44 am

sprite

it will be better in time, rose. Am glad you sat, and very sorry going to the altar was so painful and taxing.

4:44 am

sprite

and I, you!

4:46 am

sprite

here, this will make you smile: look up my new dictionary word. It starts with the currency we have where I live.

4:48 am

grannyrose

nice, sprite.

4:48 am

sprite

did you smile?

4:49 am

grannyrose

as a matter of fact..i am roflol.

4:49 am

sprite

good :D

4:49 am

grannyrose

does that answer your question?

4:50 am

sprite

I just wish I could do something for you. To make this easier.

4:50 am

sprite

it sure does, grin

4:51 am

grannyrose

sprite, my dearest girl...just knowing you are behind me 100% makes it easier.

4:51 am

sprite

well, that you got. I am, and I will be, all of the way.

4:53 am

grannyrose

soooo, my darling...where are you with regard to the grid??? would you like some help?

4:54 am

sprite

let me see.... 39 in, 22 left, having fun. Guess I am fine. Maybe... just the first 2 letters of the 7s?

4:55 am

grannyrose

me7, pr7 and that is all.

4:55 am

sprite

thank you :)

4:56 am

sprite

ooooo freddie!

4:56 am

grannyrose

me7 is obvious, pr7 starts with the most left p.

4:56 am

sprite

got them both.

4:57 am

sprite

thanks again :)

4:57 am

grannyrose

4:57 am

grannyrose

you are so clever, sprite.

4:58 am

sprite

*giggles* did you ever watch the muppet version of bohemian rhapsody?

4:58 am

sprite

sometimes I am clever. Sometimes I am incredibly dense.

4:59 am

grannyrose

oh yeah....nearly wet myself....my kids were looking at me most strangely.

5:04 am

grannyrose

sprite, you are never dense, my dear

5:04 am

sprite

lololol yes it is hilarious. Especially the end.

5:04 am

grannyrose

sprite, you are never dense, my dear

5:05 am

yes I did, lol. Ended up saying deedeedeedee

5:18 am

sprite

pretty good still, zooz. Upbeat and still going strong with eating normally and losing weight. It goes slowly, but constantly, so that is really good.

5:19 am

zoozzoom

I am very pleased to hear that! Can't be to easy with diabetes either.

5:20 am

zoozzoom

It has gotten rather chilly here in the UK for this time of the year.Are you still having the warm temps?

5:20 am

sprite

no it isn't. But it is becoming part of my routine, so I guess that is not bad. And you, zooz? How are you doing?

5:20 am

sprite

no, we have the same unseasonable chill and soooo much rain.

5:22 am

zoozzoom

I am doing fair to middling..Went to the docs like i mentioned a while ago to you. All he suggested was I do a self referral to the mental health clinic.Although to be fair I was not too sure what I wanted apart from no tablets..lol

5:22 am

grannyrose

xoxox to you both. meds ready.

5:22 am

sprite

good job, rose

5:22 am

zoozzoom

((Rose))

5:23 am

grannyrose

now is steak cooked, and so are chips...sigh....looking forward to this meal...

5:23 am

sprite

zooz, yes, that is how it often goes. When we are not clear ourselves, the doctors have no idea what to do or say. Please try the mental health clinic. See if someone there can help you. And keep in the back of your mind that sometimes tablets are necessary

5:23 am

sprite

sounds delish!

5:24 am

zoozzoom

That sounds yummy, Rose..And my belly is rumbling too!

5:24 am

grannyrose

sprite, you are amazing...yes we hae to leae ourseles open to oral meds.

5:24 am

sprite

because if our bodies don't make enough serotonin, or if we reabsorb too much of it, we will feel depressed and unable to come to decisions, and that is like diabetes. It won't get better without medication.

5:27 am

zoozzoom

I agree, Sprite, but really do not want to go down the tablet route again it makes my head to thuddy and not in control or things seem in slow motion thinking wise..lol...but I will never rule it out completely. I just feel like i am not at that stage anymore.just need help with mixing with people as i feel like I am hating people more and more. Not in a hurtful way mind..lol

5:27 am

zoozzoom

too*

5:27 am

grannyrose

ugh...v key is not working...'have' and 'leave' and "ourselves"

5:28 am

zoozzoom

Not sure if the last part makes any sense really..lol

5:28 am

zoozzoom

The keys work for me, Rose.I just press the wrong ones..lol

5:28 am

sprite

definitely, zooz, go for it. If you click with someone at the clinic, you will be able to do so much. Last word on the meds: if you have to later on, tell them you want other meds than last time. Not all meds make you feel that way, especially not after the first few weeks.

5:29 am

sprite

time to turn the keyboard upside down and hussle, rose, lolllll. Or pull a pantyhose over it and vacuum.

5:29 am

zoozzoom

Yes i think the clicking part is vital for me. If I do not like the person straght away then I will not open up to them at all.

5:30 am

sprite

yes, you need to be able to connect to your therapist or it won't work at all. No shame in saying it doesn't click with someone.
