hi Liz :) *hugs*

3:02 am

Lizlin

How are you?

3:03 am

sprite

pretty good, Liz, except for money stress. All the rest is going well! How about you and your husband?

3:04 am

Lizlin

We're really well. Money is always stressful.

3:05 am

sprite

isn't it just, lol. So complicated. But better than health stress, for sure.
Glad to hear you are well!

3:05 am

grannyrose

whoot!!! hello lovely people!

3:05 am

Lizlin

Very true. Health is the most important.

3:05 am

sprite

hello lovely lady rose *hug*

3:06 am

Lizlin

Hi Rose and hugs

3:06 am

grannyrose

* group hug*

3:06 am

Lizlin

:)

3:08 am

sprite

back still relaxed, rose? And the rest of you?

3:09 am

grannyrose

back still relaxed...IBS played up today...thank heavens for loperidine. all good now. and you, darling girl? have you had a good night?

3:10 am

sprite

night was okayish. Great compared to yesterday's, lol. I hear you about the bowels. Mine have been in uproar for days on end.

3:10 am

grannyrose

sprite, do you not have access to loperidine?

3:11 am

sprite

let me check

3:12 am

sprite

yes, it is called imodium here, I think. Can get that at the pharmacist's. Always a bit careful with stuff like that. I have diarrhea about 5 times a week, so taking it would have to be very often.

3:14 am

grannyrose

sprite, i just take it until the gripy pains stop. you take 2 at first, then 1 after each visit to the inside outhouse. the most i have ever had to take was 4 in one day.

3:15 am

grannyrose

and the effect lasts for a few days. no opposite effect, hun. which can be equally horrible for you and i.

3:15 am

sprite

will look into it, rose, thanks for the advice.

3:16 am

grannyrose

hope it helps, dearest

3:18 am

grannyrose

liz, you still here girl?

3:19 am

Lizlin

Yup!

3:19 am

Lizlin

Just finding words. 7 left

3:20 am

grannyrose

i did email you...and do you know? i have a feeling we have met before...if not you, a family member...it's a really weird feeling.

3:21 am

grannyrose

sprite, we had osso bucco last night.

3:21 am

Lizlin

Yes, I read the email! Been out most of the day though, so sorry didn't reply. That's really weird. Wouldn't it be odd if we'd met!

3:22 am

grannyrose

i am so sure, dear. i have been wracking my brains.

3:22 am

Lizlin

I love your win/win situation! And really happy the stress is less.

3:23 am

Lizlin

Can't think where tho perhaps when I've been in Melbourne?

3:23 am

grannyrose

yeah, liz. it is so good.

3:24 am

grannyrose

maybe...and we have been up north too....but no further than sydney.

3:25 am

Lizlin

Perhaps our paths crossed in Sydney? One day will figure it!

3:25 am

grannyrose

yeah....looking forward to that soo much!

3:26 am

Lizlin

Me too :)

3:26 am

sprite

3:27 am

3:27 am

Lizlin

Have you been enjoying the enforced break?

3:28 am

grannyrose

absolutely...who said the oldies don't need as much sleep? don and i aren't getting up much before 9am.

3:29 am

Lizlin

We rarely get up before 8.30! I love it!

3:29 am

Lizlin

Whale watching mornings are a real shock to the system! Lol!

3:31 am

grannyrose

hmmm, must remember to remind liz shocks are not good for grannyrose's system..

3:31 am

Lizlin

Not much good for mine either!

3:32 am

grannyrose

roflol

3:33 am

grannyrose

not going to say what happened this morning which delayed us getting off the bed....

3:33 am

Lizlin

The whales make the early start worth it!

3:33 am

Lizlin

Much the same as happens here, I'd guess!

3:33 am

grannyrose

eah, i hear, you girl....so long as i can go back to bed after...

3:34 am

grannyrose

*yeah*

3:34 am

Lizlin

Lol!

3:35 am

grannyrose

last year, when we went to tassie, on our boat ride off bruny island, we had dolphins/porpoises swimming alongside the boat. i sooo loved it.

3:37 am

Lizlin

We get them sometimes too. Also flying fish and turtles. It's all so amazing and I just gasp at my luck in seeing these things.

3:37 am

grannyrose

yeah liz....i love to see stuff au naturale!!!

3:38 am

Lizlin

Before I retired I don't think I realised how much I love nature and being outside!

3:40 am

grannyrose

on the same boat ride, we went past an area heavily infested with seals. everyone on the boat gagged at the smell...and i said...haven't any of you smelled a teenager's bedroom...it out-ranks this.

3:40 am

Lizlin

Love seals. We plan to go to Tassie, perhaps the summer after next.

3:42 am

grannyrose

then you definitely have to get out to bruny island....if for nothing else the cheese...lolol

3:43 am

Lizlin

I'll go for the cheese, hubby for the niche no oysters!

3:43 am

Lizlin

Bicheno

3:45 am

grannyrose

yup, liz....you have to stop in bicheno...

3:45 am

Lizlin

Love planning holidays! Stuff of dreams, which sometimes become reality!

3:46 am

grannyrose

liz, tip hun...drive if you can, and go over on the ferry. if not... fly through to hobart and hire a car.

3:47 am

grannyrose

if you drive, you are not limited on luggage.

3:47 am

Lizlin

Thanks. Think we'd hire a car. Fly from here. Heard so much about rough crossings to Tassie.

3:49 am

grannyrose

olol, liz...don and i apparently are very good sailors. we do not have any problems with the bass strait weather.

3:49 am

Lizlin

Down to 3 now but I'll have to save them for later. Got to go. Hugs Rose and keep that stress at bay! Xx

3:49 am

grannyrose

xoxox liz. enjoy your evening

3:49 am

Lizlin

4:13 am

thank you darling, I can use that :) Am too scared to open the envelopes, so it is really bad this time.

4:14 am

grannyrose

i am so sick of money being an interfering influence in my life...

4:14 am

sprite

Good God, yes, amen to that.

4:15 am

grannyrose

sprite, stand firm...our Lord stands by us...

4:15 am

sprite

if only for once we could come clean, and take it up from there. But noooo, we always have to fill up one hole with another one.

4:15 am

sprite

yeah well, sometimes I think the Lord is as unclear on money as I am

4:17 am

grannyrose

dearest friend...nope the Lord is well aware of our needs. i will pray on it.

4:19 am

sprite

please do, rose. Maybe He will listen to you, grin. No, I am fooling around. I know He has my back. I'd just wish, deeply and truly, that He'd see fit to bestow us with an amount of money that would get us out of trouble.

4:22 am

grannyrose

sprite...i always trust in God...well, nearly always...lol...

4:22 am

sprite

lol :D I try too... sometimes worry gets in the way.

4:23 am

grannyrose

i am so human...whatever happens, happens.

4:24 am

sprite

very human and very fallible, me. Ah well, if He had wanted me to be perfect, He'd have created me that way, right?

4:24 am

grannyrose

sprite, you are human, my darling...and worry is a human emotion...

4:24 am

sprite

true, alas

4:25 am

grannyrose

6:52 am

7:05 am

Anniebrook

Molly, dear, that actually was my breakfast with a cup of coffee. But thanks. Your icon describes my first husband. Ex, that is.

7:10 am

MollyL

I like to put a thin slice of fresh tomato on mine when they are right off the vine fresh, like they are now.

7:11 am

Anniebrook

Yes, that is good. Tomatoes are perfect this time of year.

7:11 am

MollyL

And speaking of fresh, we had some just picked corn on the cob this weekend that was nirvana.

7:11 am

lbdawger

I've been picking tomatoes all week. they are delish!!

7:12 am

Anniebrook

and cantaloupes are excellent also. Sweet.

7:25 am

MimiCat

Molly...I LOVE bagel with cream cheese and a nice slice of tomato on top!! I can eat just a tomato sandwich, too, when they're nice and ripe. I miss having a garden....hopefully, next year.

7:26 am

MimiCat

Annie, have you ever tried eating cantaloupe with kiwi fruit? Great combo.

7:26 am

Anniebrook

Mimi, Arizona got a fair amount of rain finally. No, I haven't, will try kiwi with cantaloupe

7:27 am

MimiCat

And good morning, everyone!

((mimi))

7:27 am

Anniebrook

You are leaving out the lox and a thin slice of Vidalia onion.

7:28 am

MimiCat

Yep, Annie...there are still some road closures and people evacuated from their homes. We're expecting more today. I'm loving it because I can stay home and am on the second floor, but those rescues they had to do were scary.

7:28 am

MimiCat

((crossy)) ...and put a slice of bacon on there for crossy!

7:28 am

Anniebrook

They showed a rescue on TV. Very scary.

7:29 am

Anniebrook

no bacon, doesnt compute with lox.

7:29 am

MimiCat

I'll be you saw that woman in the mobile home who was waving something white out the window. They got her out as well as her two dogs. Whew!

7:30 am

Anniebrook

Yes, that was the rescue. Whew is right

7:31 am

MimiCat

And there was that woman in the minivan with the water already up to the windows that they got out. Frightening. It happens fast here but there are some people who are stupid enough to drive and drive through those washes and get stuck. We now charge people for that kind of rescue as it was happening a lot.

7:32 am

MimiCat

Hey..this grid won't take "noonie." Guess Babble isn't very spontaneous and adventurous in certain ways! :)

7:32 am

Anniebrook

All frightening but I am glad the state got badly needed water. Now California needs water badly.

7:33 am

Anniebrook

I still cant get over the beheading of that young jounalist.

7:33 am

MimiCat

For the first time in history, the Colorado River (which we depend on for our water here and in California and Mexico) had receded. 10-yr. drought is scary.

7:34 am

Anniebrook

yes, very scary.

7:35 am

MimiCat

I know I'm not totally cynical but I just want all Americans to stay out of those parts of the Middle East and out of Afghanistan completely. Just let those people go ahead and kill each other if that's what they want to do. I'm tired of Americans losing their lives for no good reason. I know...not very humanitarian, but enough is enough already.

7:36 am

Marc Freeman

11:26 am

MLFAN17

28th of this month is wv's first game that i know of not sure if it is home or away

11:28 am

wvteach

the schedule says that it is Aug 30th at Alabama - but maybe they have changed it for tv coverage

11:29 am

wvteach

when there is a game we stay as far from the stadium as possible and only venture out to do errands during the gsme times

11:29 am

MLFAN17

i think tehy start on an nfl channel but dont quote me on that

11:29 am

MollyL

Add a vowel to the se5

11:32 am

both my husband and I (part time) worked at the university and I can still use the Rec Center (over by the stadium) which is where I will go shortly to go swimming

11:34 am

MLFAN17

oh that is so cool wv

11:35 am

I'm doing pretty well, ruby. It really makes a difference being retired.

1:18 pm

jaxx7

Hi, Ruby. e have been out shoe buying for both grandchildren. Their mother came with us and made 'useful' comments but didn't open her purse.

1:18 pm

MLFAN17

i found it

1:18 pm

rubyfoo

I hate being retired! I do more housework, even with help, than I ever did in my life!

1:19 pm

jaxx7

You mean you are evn busier now and don't know how you ever manged to work?

1:19 pm

rubyfoo

exactly and having much less fun

1:19 pm

uusue2

well, trying to take care of Frank and work at the same time was not fun. This is better. I have someone come in once a week, so she does a lot of the housework :-)

1:19 pm

jaxx7

I seem to be missing an e key!

1:20 pm

ChrissieDee

I long to retire but not holding my breath. UK government keeps raising the age to get your pension :(

1:20 pm

rubyfoo

I loved my job as I got to travel a lot and eat really well. Now if I want to eat well, I have to cook!

1:20 pm

MLFAN17

SE 6/18?

1:21 pm

jaxx7

Good mlf because I didn't have it.

1:21 pm

ChrissieDee

That's good Sue. You need to stay as well and strong as possible. Sounds like this round is going to be a lot tougher than the last one.

1:21 pm

jaxx7

Don't have that either!

1:21 pm

uusue2

like calm and peaceful, mlfan, but with a different third letter

1:21 pm

MLFAN17

lol jaxx.. now looking for a different word

1:22 pm

jaxx7

I do now. Thanks, sue

1:22 pm

MLFAN17

got it ty uusue

1:22 pm

uusue2

so far it's not too bad, chrissie, but then it tends to get worse as the chemo goes on - last time it was fine until about half way through, then not so much. But we shall see.

1:23 pm

MLFAN17

I have se 5/10 ending in a n i need a clue for the other one please?

1:23 pm

rubyfoo

{{Frank}} and an extra big one fr Sue Chemo is no joke, but I was just lucky with it. Atavan in the drip kept me from being sick

1:23 pm

uusue2

the river in Paris, mlfan

1:24 pm

jaxx7

Was retirement mandatory then, Ruby? In the UK you can continue to work beyond the retirement date regardless of your age. It is seen as age discrimination to make you leave if you don't want to.

1:24 pm

MLFAN17

i always forget what that word is or means. Thank you all for the help FW

1:25 pm

uusue2

he has lots of antinausea meds this time, ruby, so far so good

1:25 pm

uusue2

yay mlfan!

1:25 pm

rubyfoo

I got married and we moved to France and I can't work here

1:25 pm

ChrissieDee

Congrats MLF :)

1:25 pm

rubyfoo

does crystallized ginger help? or Seabands?

1:25 pm

jaxx7

it is a fishing net, mlf. My husband used to catch salmon with one.

1:26 pm

uusue2

dunno, ruby, so far the meds are doing the trick

1:26 pm

jaxx7

Way to go, mlf

1:26 pm

rubyfoo

I think about you both often. If you ever want some cheering up, just send me an e-mail

1:27 pm

uusue2

but eating is problematic for him, as he has a lot of gas pain, and lots of dietary limitations, between the celiac, the Crohn's, the recovery from the surgery, and the ostomy

1:27 pm

uusue2

will do, ruby, thanks!

1:27 pm

ChrissieDee

Poor Frank

1:27 pm

rubyfoo

Do you fish, too, jazz?

1:27 pm

jaxx7

talking of husbands, mine wants his tea so i am off to be wifely for once. bbl

1:27 pm

ChrissieDee

Bye jaxx

1:28 pm

uusue2

bye jaxx!

1:28 pm

rubyfoo

bye jxx, just read your profile and I'm actually ruru lol

1:28 pm

ChrissieDee

Is he on a liquid diet?

1:29 pm

uusue2

he was, chrissie, but not any more; now he needs to avoid foods that cause gas (since that can fill up the bag really fast)

1:29 pm

ChrissieDee

lol, was that for me ruby?

1:30 pm

jaxx7

is Frank's bag on his left side? If not then he could try lying on his left side to relieve the gas. I have GORD or GERD as you call it. It really helps with the heartburn. Now I am going to give my husband some. lol

1:31 pm

rubyfoo

yes, chrissie, it was for y ou. I don't understand the paranoia in here, either

1:31 pm

rubyfoo

jaxx" left side is magic!

1:31 pm

ChrissieDee

Sue, a tip from a lady I was in hospital with was for peppermint cordial and warm water to keep her bag moving

1:32 pm

rubyfoo

I think many of us babblers are cancer survivors

1:32 pm

ChrissieDee

Guess we're just trusting souls ruby :)

1:33 pm

uusue2

it is on his left side, jaxx, so that won't help

1:33 pm

ChrissieDee

Yes, i've noticed that and take comfort from stories like yours ruby

1:34 pm

uusue2

peppermint cordial, eh? I'll let him know :-)

1:34 pm

It acts up like that sometimes. Just keep hitting refresh until you see the words in your list. Or try opening another tab in your browser.

3:15 pm

Jindigo

Thanks Molly - something I should i have thought on my own.

3:16 pm

Someone is usually here to poke you if you forget.
