2:56 am

2:57 am

I am fine.

2:57 am

grannyrose

2:58 am

grannyrose

* b * was intentional...feel like being silly today...lolol.

2:58 am

sprite

very :) Rob is away with canoe club this weekend, so it is a bit taxing for me. But I intend to let the kids do the shopping. The kids, of course, are still asleep, as teenagers should be.

2:59 am

grannyrose

oh, and heard from sir joso...all is fine and dandy with him.

2:59 am

sprite

ah wonderful! Am so glad. Give him a big *hug* from the sprite.

3:00 am

grannyrose

oh, and sprite, today was one out of a band-box. all the washing hung outside, and brought in dry. and my king alfred daffodils have stalk over 2 fe4 long. i have never se4 them that long.

3:01 am

grannyrose

and...nd...and my first tulip has started to put out leaves...i am so excited...

3:01 am

sprite

omg that sounds so beautiful. And yayyy on the laundry. Isn't it lovely as all goes as planned?

3:02 am

sprite

good strong tulips :)

3:04 am

grannyrose

*wriggles with excitement* and the grape hyacinths are about to flower, and the freesias are flowering...gosh!! i love spring almost as much as i love autumn...lolol

3:05 am

sprite

I love grape hyacinths. So cute. And freesias... maybe even one of the most beautiful flowers ever. Your garden sounds wonderful, rose.

3:05 am

grannyrose

still waiting for my double frilly daffs to flower though...:-(

3:06 am

sprite

maybe they are just late

3:06 am

grannyrose

sprite??? you don't have a garden do you? you live in an apartment/flat?

3:07 am

sprite

no, we have a house. And a garden. Only, my darling husband has taken over about all of it with canoes, wood and his sea container that he uses as a workshed.

3:07 am

grannyrose

oh, their leaves are up, and the flower stalks are about 6" long....just really slow. and the jonquils that the cockatoos shredded have put out new flower stalks...little buggers.

3:08 am

grannyrose

the cockies, not the jonquils...lol

3:08 am

sprite

wow imagine having cockatoos in one's garden.

3:09 am

grannyrose

hold it!!! stop that imagination right there!!they are the most destructive birds around.

3:10 am

sprite

hey, they would be allowed some wrecking just for the pleasure of watching them. We don't have anything like that here. Sparrows, blackbirds, thta kind of stuff.

3:10 am

grannyrose

when i lived in a more rural area, the little so-and-so's ate all the wood from around a neighbours windows. they only found out when their windows fell out of their frames.

3:11 am

sprite

oh lol! What a shock.

3:11 am

grannyrose

very breezy that's for sure...lol

3:12 am

sprite

so practical for the mailman too

3:13 am

grannyrose

oh, and sprite...don and i went to a chemist warehouse a few days ago...i found 2 perfumes out of my teen and something twenty years...charlie and blue grass. i just had to buy a bottle of each....lol,

3:13 am

sprite

awwww that is so sweet! I have a little bottle of charlie sitting here on my desk.

3:14 am

grannyrose

* giggle * about the mailman

3:14 am

grannyrose

wow!! in my teens i had a pot of the cream scented with charlie. it lasted for ages.

3:15 am

sprite

yes it does. It is a lovely smell. Nowadays, I prefer Cristobal though.

3:18 am

grannyrose

i tried both on , and both smelled fine on me still. so with the green tea perfume, it now gives me a choice...

3:19 am

sprite

that is a true pleasure, and it comes back every day

3:19 am

grannyrose

yeah, i am loving it...

3:21 am

sprite

I have to say, most days I go without nowadays. I love the Cristobal. And for special occasions the Angel, in tiny amounts. That is another amazing perfume that is so overused, in frequency and amount, by others, that it loses its splendour.

3:23 am

grannyrose

and we found the david beckham after-shave/ eau-de-cologne for don.

3:24 am

sprite

ah lovely. Goodsmelling people

3:24 am

grannyrose

well it does counter-act.....nope...better to leave that unsaid...lolol

3:24 am

sprite

oh! :D

3:25 am

grannyrose

not really....but better to be safe

3:27 am

grannyrose

how are you going with the grid?

3:27 am

sprite

86 left

3:28 am

sprite

being bugged silly by peseta. Loving the fact that my protagonist of my ptsd story is in here... petisse.

3:28 am

grannyrose

*she says sniggering* having occupied sprite's attention for most of the time she has been here...lololol

3:28 am

sprite

roflol and a good thing it is too. Love having my attention focused on you.

3:29 am

grannyrose

love having it....

3:30 am

grannyrose

*giggle* when i read your post at 3:28, after my question...i did read being bugged by pests...

3:31 am

sprite

:) my day is not complete with a bit of rose in my morning

3:32 am

grannyrose

sprite, my dearest...are you ready to share your sto9ry with me...re petisse? please email if that is more appropriate.

3:32 am

sprite

lol :D Nope, pests are in the grid. Peseta is a phantom and I keep seeing it, and trying it. Madness.

3:33 am

sprite

petisse is coming along pretty nicely. Am trying to write a symbolic story that should give insight in how ptsd works inside a person.

3:38 am

grannyrose

*joins sprite in the PB * here sweetie, a glass of you favourite. *snuggles down for a cuddle*

3:39 am

sprite

*wraps rose in arms and hugs her*

3:39 am

grannyrose

*loving the hug* i can actually feel it, sweetie.

3:40 am

sprite

ok, that does it. I just tried petesa... and I have the P greyed out since halfway point.

3:40 am

sprite

oh rose, just a couple of months and we can do it for real! Prepare to be hugged around the clock, lol.

3:40 am

grannyrose

roflolol...poor sprite....no more p words, okay?

3:41 am

sprite

No. More. P. Words. You got it.

3:41 am

grannyrose

you too, sprite...but we may have a problem...

3:41 am

sprite

which would be?

3:41 am

grannyrose

there will be a puglet trying to get in too.

3:42 am

sprite

hey, I want to hug puglet just as much. I foresee a lot of group hugs.

3:42 am

grannyrose

omg, le4 than a year....

3:43 am

sprite

yes :D

3:43 am

grannyrose

no matter what...i will be there...

3:43 am

grannyrose

and so will puglet...

3:43 am

sprite

am looking forward to it so much

3:44 am

grannyrose

you and me both, dear....it is going to be so much fun....

3:45 am

sprite

absolutely. And we will make lots of pictures and ask Don to make us heaps, and we will make photo album books of it in triplicate so we can look back and re-live the wonderful times.

3:45 am

grannyrose

pugs is being so strong, isn't she? i am praying for her....and you of course...every night.

3:46 am

grannyrose

sprite...there will be many wonderful times together...not just next year...

3:46 am

sprite

yes, me too. Every day. She is amazing. And she doesn't realise it herself. Such power and strength, and perseverance.

3:47 am

sprite

oh rose, if that could be true!

3:47 am

grannyrose

sprite....what will be, will be. and if the man upstairs wills it...it will be...lolol

3:48 am

sprite

true, dat. We'll give him every reason to, lol.

3:49 am

grannyrose

i have to ask....any chance you can organise the time away to visit ruby when we do? discounting the cost....

3:50 am

grannyrose

annency will never be the same...

3:51 am

sprite

not easily, rose. It is a full day by train, just to get there. Or by car, same. And flying there would be quicker, but we would be spending most of two days on airports then.

3:52 am

grannyrose

hmmm, i think we will have to start very soon...if all 4 of us are to be in the same place of the planet together.

3:53 am

grannyrose

ruby cannot leave burt...so the three of us will have to be in annency at the same time...

3:53 am

grannyrose

i looove logic problems...

3:54 am

sprite

yeah, I hear you, sweetie. Just telling it honestly as it is. It would be a huge chunk out of our time. Would cost about half of it.

3:55 am

grannyrose

sprite...please disregard the cost. closer to the time...or even in the next few months...i will contact you.

3:56 am

sprite

can't we do it at the end of our time together then? First spend our 10 days in the netherlands and then travel on? Just an idea.

3:57 am

grannyrose

i am hearing you...will consult with don...it depends on the tours available in france.

3:57 am

sprite

I can tell already that even planning it all will be a lot of pleasure.

3:57 am

sprite

and there's fireflies

3:57 am

grannyrose

i am trying to think of puglet...she has a lot of travelling to do...

3:58 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!!

3:58 am

sprite

yes. We'll think of the best way to put it all together. We have time.

3:59 am

grannyrose

yes we do, dearest. will keep you in the loop.

3:59 am

sprite

lololllll ok this was so funny. Overheard a conversation in the street downstairs. A guy walks past with a white thingy on the top of his head. A lady walking her dog asks: "Turned Jewish?"
"No, had a brick fall on my head."

4:03 am

grannyrose

oh, my...lolol

4:04 am

sprite

such a random convo, grin. No doubt they know eachother and all.

4:04 am

sprite

I bet he wished he had converted to the Jewish faith, in stead of getting hit by that brick.

4:05 am

grannyrose

yeah...i bet too

4:06 am

grannyrose

like the last time i saw my youngest son who has grown a prolific dark beard...i asked him...where did you leave your camel? he was very gracious, and laughed.

4:06 am

sprite

lolol :D

4:07 am

grannyrose

all three men *sons* have dark facial hair.

4:08 am

sprite

not bad at all

4:10 am

sprite

*likes her men and her coffee dark*

4:10 am

grannyrose

sprite, i know you don't watch the ne4...but the latest killings are so totally not necessary.

4:11 am

sprite

killings hardly ever are

4:11 am

grannyrose

*giggle* like my coffee like my man, hot, strong, sweet and white...

4:12 am

sprite

hm I don't like my coffee sweet, and I don't insist on a white man. But hot and strong... yeah.

4:12 am

grannyrose

lolol, yeah sprite....

4:13 am

sprite

and big. Don't forget big. :D

4:13 am

sprite

as in tall and powerful, not fat.

4:13 am

grannyrose

oooh, yeah...big...

4:13 am

grannyrose

lolol...no problems with fat....

4:14 am

sprite

nope me neither. Just not a requisite.

4:14 am

grannyrose

don't forget don has been on steroids to help himwith his asthma.

4:15 am

grannyrose

* him with *

4:15 am

sprite

darling, trust me, Rob and I aren't slim either. You will get us the way we are... allllll of it.

4:15 am

grannyrose

ditto, sprite...allll of us are coming to see you.

4:16 am

sprite

:D :D We will have to make sure we don't flatten our pug!

4:17 am

grannyrose

lololol...yeah...she will probably be the skinniest of all of us.

4:18 am

grannyrose

*thought* our pugs will probably be very delighted with us flattening her...

4:18 am

sprite

yes she will be. But Caya and Tim are just perfect, so she won't feel the odd one out.

4:18 am

sprite

oh yes :D I think so too. Omg am gonna hug you both until you squeal!

4:19 am

grannyrose

and i am gonna hug the both of you until you squeak...lololol

4:19 am

sprite

:D

4:23 am

sprite

oh... an idea... in our days with just the 3 of us in a cottage... we could play the transformation game.

4:26 am

grannyrose

oh!!!! sounds interesting!

4:27 am

sprite

yes it is. You start with formulating a question about your life. And then you go check out your path on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level. It kinda works like an oracle. It is both fun and rewarding.

4:29 am

sprite

annnnnnd... I have the game in english! It wasn't available in dutch yet when I bought it. So that is great. Provenance. Or something like that.

4:30 am

grannyrose

oooh...looking forward to it...

4:31 am

sprite

me too. we are gonna have such an amazing time. I can't wait. Will start checking out places to stay next week. Perhaps visit a few B&Bs.

4:33 am

grannyrose

nice, sprite...please check out costs and availibilities

MimiCat

((ruru)) Good to see you, too!

10:45 am

Jillyjill

It's been busy at work and only babbling once or twice a week..

10:45 am

rururocks

A ne4 isn't a salamander

10:46 am

doseffing

... but for the purposes of babble he's close enough

10:46 am

rururocks

Wow he is in Africa. Sorry you are right

10:47 am

MimiCat

Yes it is, dear...look it up.

10:47 am

rururocks

I shudda newt better

10:47 am

MimiCat

Remember....I know my animals! Don't know much else, but do know my critters!

10:47 am

MimiCat

PB for ruru!!

10:48 am

Jillyjill

ahem ruru...grid word!

10:48 am

rururocks

It was worth it for the joke

10:49 am

rururocks

Newts here aren't salamanders though... I will need to read up on this.

10:49 am

MimiCat

Jokes are always worth it....

10:50 am

rururocks

They are related but a different species

10:50 am

MimiCat

They're amphibians of the order Salamandridae.

10:51 am

rururocks

I will have to read up on this.. I could be confused

10:51 am

rururocks

So how is everyone?

10:54 am

Jillyjill

Cold and rainy here...not going to go to the local celtic festival

10:55 am

rururocks

That good huh?

10:55 am

rururocks

Aw sorry JJ

10:55 am

MimiCat

It's kind of like way dolphins and whales are classified...all dolphins are "whales" but not all whales are dolphins. Newts and salamanders are kind of that way, I think.

10:56 am

MimiCat

We had our monsoon finally..lots of flooding and rescues and road closures....but bright and sunny now.

10:57 am

rururocks

I bet lots of water is dangerous there

10:58 am

MimiCat

Such a mess. Last Tues. we got 4 inches in less than an hour....total havoc. Luckily, I was safe at home and on the second floor so I just sipped tea and enjoyed it.

10:58 am

tceicher

mimi, while we down in Casa Grande get no rain

10:58 am

MollyL

I like the phrase "for the purpose of Babble"

10:59 am

MimiCat

No? I thought the whole state got that rain.

10:59 am

MimiCat

Hi, Molly! Enlighten me, please.

10:59 am

Jillyjill

Kinda feel bad as the local festival has been floundering and this will not help, but I think it may cause them to realize they need to accept local business sponsorship

10:59 am

MollyL

For the want of a nail, a kingdom was lost...for the purpose of Babble, a meaning was bent

11:00 am

tceicher

no, it always goes around us........once in a while we get a downpour that lasts maybe 20 minutes and poof, it's gone

11:00 am

Jillyjill

nice molly

11:00 am

MollyL

Now I have to go listen to Todd Rundgren

11:00 am

tceicher

wesit

11:00 am

rururocks

Hello its me.......

11:01 am

tceicher

oops

11:01 am

MimiCat

My brain isn't functioning on anything resembling a philosophical level this morning....

11:01 am

MollyL

No, For The Want Of A Nail, great song

11:01 am

rururocks

Oh

11:01 am

MimiCat

Trivia: Did you know that for a long time Liv Tyler thought Todd Rundgren was her father?

11:02 am

MimiCat

Turns out he was her stepfather.

11:02 am

rururocks

Really?...she would have been better off

11:03 am

rururocks

Steve Tyler is a creepy old lech

11:03 am

MimiCat

Actually, now that Steven Tyler has straightened up, they are apparently quite close.

11:04 am

MimiCat

I disagree, ruru...for some reason I like him. He now lives in New Hampshire and has become a sort of "gentleman farmer" though the term gentleman may be a bit of a stretch.

11:04 am

rururocks

Letch

11:05 am

MimiCat

I'm just glad my younger days weren't lived out in the public eye....whoa. Though now that I'm writing the book, it will all be "out there." Don't care now...just makes me colorful.

11:06 am

MimiCat

And I must say I do not know WHY I can remember stuff like factoids about Tyler but can't remember really useful things....may be some sort of karmic joke.

11:07 am

rururocks

I wouldn't want to be a celebrity

11:07 am

MollyL

I'm going to be laughing about Steven Tyler, gentlemen farmer all day

11:08 am

MimiCat

Me either! Cannot even begin to understand why people want to be famous. I would like to be anonymously wealthy, however.

11:08 am

MimiCat

Glad to provide a chuckle, Molly!

11:08 am

rururocks

He practices safe sex on the farm molly

11:08 am

MimiCat

It does conjure a rather bizarre image, doesn't it?!

11:09 am

rururocks

R

11:09 am

MollyL

Water...all...over the place...

11:09 am

MimiCat

WHOA...don't even want to see that image in my head...poor farm animals.

11:09 am

rururocks

They mark all the sheep that kick

11:10 am

MimiCat

Need breakfast so going to go blush in private for a bit. HAGD and hugs all around.

11:10 am

Jillyjill

New Hampshire, where men are men and sheep are nervous

11:10 am

rururocks

Dream on Mimi

11:11 am

MollyL

Not to mention the poor cows

11:11 am

MimiCat

You know what they call a guy with his hand up a horse's butt...an Amish mechanic.

11:12 am

MimiCat

...and dreamin' til the dream comes true...rockin' on!

11:12 am

MollyL

Oh, I would call him something else

11:12 am

rururocks

Lol...that is so weird it is funny

11:13 am

rururocks

Mimi?

11:13 am

MimiCat

That was actually a Robin Williams joke...was watching a showing of his stint on Inside the Actors Studio this morning....cried.

11:13 am

MimiCat

What?

11:14 am

rururocks

Do you know what clip-clop ....bang bang....clip clop is?

11:14 am

MimiCat

I thought it was pretty clever, actually, since they use horses instead of cars. But I'm demented.

11:14 am

MimiCat

No..what?

11:14 am

rururocks

An Amish drive BT

11:14 am

rururocks

Amish drive by shooting

11:15 am

OK....I need tea now...

12:28 pm

crosshair

What is going on in Paris?

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

Did you know that Jews cant be buried in the local cemetery?

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

They're protesting in front of synagogues and setting fires

12:29 pm

crosshair

how odd

12:29 pm

rururocks

really?

12:29 pm

rururocks

why?

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

It's not the French doing it, however, but the cemetery? That's French.

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

The Muslims are protesting Gaza by going after Jews in Paris. Very scary.

12:30 pm

crosshair

The world is falling apart i swear

12:31 pm

rururocks

oh.. that makes a ton of sense ruby

12:31 pm

rururocks

Those Parisian Jews are really causing trouble in Gaza

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

exactly. Unfortunately, French anti-Semitism runs very deep. However, Hollande and the police seems to be acting correctly

12:33 pm

rururocks

I thought the muslim religion was a religion of peace

That's what I thought....

1:11 pm

penquis

i had a roast beef sandwich.... ;o)

1:11 pm

Judi

Just reading back a bit in chat. I really don't understand why France has anti-semitism issues. Do they think Jewish people caused the holocaust? Are they mad at the U.S. for liberating France from the Nazis in WWII? What is the deal there?

1:11 pm

penquis

not sure it is antisemitism....perhaps other forms of racism....like with muslims...

1:12 pm

Anniebrook

there is antisemitism in France.

1:12 pm

penquis

oh there is everywhere in all likelihood....

1:13 pm

Judi

Well, antisemitism is racism. One of the worst kinds actually. Perhaps there is a large population of ex pat Palestinians in France? I'm not lumping all french in together. I just don't understand the hate coming from that part of the world.

1:14 pm

MLFAN17

pen i am stalled with 30 left and have been listing

1:14 pm

MLFAN17

i love a roast beef sandwhich from there with raw onion and mayonnaise or vingar and oil

3:36 pm

hego

Soodle! So sorry, my love.

3:36 pm

hego

I like to make everybody as crazy as I am.

3:37 pm

MollyL

Of course they call them little smokies now since people tend to laugh at the other word.

3:37 pm

Soodle

Anybody else, Hego, and they would be toast. You are lucky that I'm fond of you!!

3:37 pm

hego

Likewise Soodle. :)

3:37 pm

Soodle

And hello all. :-)

3:37 pm

MollyL

Yes Hego, count your blessings. : D

3:37 pm

hego

Little smokies, that's a new one.

3:38 pm

hego

I am, Molly, I am.

3:40 pm

Soodle

Guess everyone knows now how I get fixated on whatever I'm watching on Netflix. Dexter is my current obsession. Gee! I really want to go to Miami....

3:41 pm

hego

Did Dexter and, yes Miami is as good as it looks.

3:41 pm

hego

It was a good show, esp the first few years.

3:44 pm

periwinkle

Oh, Soodle....

3:44 pm

Soodle

I almost got there. We were in Fl many years ago, & got down to Key West. But the Elian Gonzales thing was kicking off in Miami & we had the kids with us at the time, so we side stepped Miami.

3:45 pm

periwinkle

I bought a pink nail polish the other day. It is called Escaping Reality!

3:45 pm

hego

Love Miami beach.

3:45 pm

Soodle

I'm loving 'Dexter'...

3:45 pm

periwinkle

I want to go to Key West and Sanibel Island.

3:45 pm

hego

Hot weather, hot Latinos. sigh...

3:45 pm

hego

Hi Peri

3:46 pm

periwinkle

Soodle is ignoring my posts :(

3:46 pm

Soodle

Lol Peri!! I escape reality all the time. It's called Netflix!

3:46 pm

periwinkle

3:46 pm

hego

No, she'll be back.

3:46 pm

hego

See

3:46 pm

periwinkle

I am stuck with 64 left

3:49 pm

Soodle

Peri, Key West was my absolute favourite part of Florida. En route down there we stayed in a motel called The Pink Flamingo. It had plastic pink flamingoes out the front of it!

3:50 pm

hego

Key West is the most party place in America!!

3:50 pm

periwinkle

I was in Miami beach many years ago

3:50 pm

Soodle

And we ate at a diner called 'The Road Kill Cafe'. The tag line was ... you kill it, we grill it...

3:50 pm

periwinkle

eww

3:50 pm

periwinkle

what did you eat there, Soodle?

3:50 pm

hego

yuck!

3:51 pm

Soodle

LOL, Peri. I ate a burger!!!!

3:51 pm

periwinkle

aw, but what was the burger made of, that is the question!

3:52 pm

Soodle

I just loved Florida! Sigh....

3:52 pm

periwinkle

I have thought of moving to Florida but it is very humid In the summer and there are big bugs.

3:52 pm

hego

That part is the nicest, Soodle.

3:54 pm

crosshair

lol at road kill cafe.. a smidgen of pigeon and a smear of deer? name that road kill and you eat for free?

3:54 pm

periwinkle

3:54 pm

crosshair

3:54 pm

3:55 pm

periwinkle

3:56 pm

crosshair

3:56 pm

MollyL

Soodle? Fixated? Never

3:57 pm

Soodle

Lol Molls.

3:58 pm

MollyL

I was afraid you were going to develop a meth habit during your Breaking Bad run.

4:00 pm

Soodle

Nah! I dodged that bullet. However, after watching Dexter, there are a few people who I wouldn't mind bumping off!!

4:00 pm

crosshair

found the exact poster that i have for The road Kill cafe:)) http://tinyurl.com/nf6xxeg

4:00 pm

MollyL

I could never get into Dexter. My kids liked it though.

4:01 pm

hego

the season with John Lithgow was incredible, Molly

4:02 pm

hego

Powerful stuff.

4:02 pm

Soodle

Agreed, Hego!

4:02 pm

MollyL

Oh, I do like John Lithgow

4:02 pm

hego

I think that was the high point.

4:03 pm

Soodle

He was masterful in that series. AND, there were several shots of his unclad behind....

4:03 pm

periwinkle

ok, down to 50 sans list. bbl to finish

4:04 pm

hego

right Soodle

4:04 pm

Soodle

Laters, peritoes.

4:04 pm

MollyL

Oh, well I like John Lithgow, but definitely not in that way

4:04 pm

hego

bye Babe

4:04 pm

MollyL

Peritoes sounds like something you eat with salsa

4:04 pm

hego

The acting was incredible.

4:05 pm

hego

Puppies, I think.

4:05 pm

hego

perritos

4:05 pm

MollyL

Oh thank God, I thought you were eating puppies with salsa

4:06 pm

hego

lol

4:06 pm

crosshair

lol! New Lay's perrito's try them with your favorite cheese dip!

4:06 pm

crosshair

snap

4:07 pm

MollyL

Lays did have a contest for a new flavor. They can keep the cappuccino chips though.

4:07 pm

crosshair

They had a chip contest here a few years back. came up with a few terrible flavours, though the sea salt & Black pepper is not too bad

4:08 pm

hego

I doubt doggie flavor would be popular.

4:08 pm

hego

what is this damned en 6?

4:09 pm

MollyL

en + a damned small body of land in the damned water

4:09 pm

hego

lol thank you, dammit.

4:13 pm

MollyL

You're damned welcome : )

4:13 pm

4:14 pm

nasty bit of business all this fu***** language:)

4:14 pm

Soodle

Incredible!! Facebook now allows calls via FB messenger free!!! I just had a call from Sarah over FB. No cost to either party. Incredible!

4:14 pm

crosshair

I just use skype. Not top call quality but passable

4:16 pm

Soodle

Skype can be a bit jerky... The FB call was crystal clear. I'm gobsmacked

4:16 pm

crosshair

cool:)

4:16 pm

MollyL

How is the Remaining Daughter Of Soodle doing now that she is an only child?

4:17 pm

4:18 pm

Revelling in the undivided attention, Molly. She is travelling over to join her sister next Friday. I predict sparks a-flying...

4:18 pm

Soodle

Hey Jaxx!

4:18 pm

jaxx7

Always. No excuse tonight as I am sober

4:19 pm

Oh Lord, alert the authorities and lock up all the young men.

4:21 pm

Soodle

Lol ! I still haven't decided how best to avail of my freedom....

4:21 pm

jaxx7

It will seem a bit strange at first

4:22 pm

MollyL

Well all I can say is we better not read some thrilling tale of how you cleaned the house or redecorated while she was gone.

4:22 pm

jaxx7

Spread those wings, soodle

4:24 pm

Soodle

I can categorically assure you all that cleaning of the house will not feature next weekend. For sure!

4:24 pm

MollyL

Wings, yes, reminds me of the old one winged bird.

4:28 pm

Soodle

Next Saturday is taken care of. I must travel to Limerick to attend an exhumation. Seriously!

4:28 pm

MollyL

Oh well, there's a thrill ride for you. Not.

4:29 pm

jaxx7

Not the happiest way to spend a Saturday! Is this a victim of yours?

4:31 pm

Soodle

Part of my job. Exhumations don't happen often, but when they do, a member of my office must be present.

4:32 pm

jaxx7

Fascinating, soodle

4:32 pm

bichon

Soods, you are part of the department of exhumations department?

4:32 pm

jaxx7

Hi, Bich.

4:33 pm

Soodle

I work in the Coroners Service, Bich. It's a tough gig, but never ever boring.

4:33 pm

bichon

I can imagine Soody

4:34 pm

4:35 pm

jaxx7

4:35 pm

bichon

ok, got it, ty

4:36 pm

MollyL

Soody? Now I'm thinking of a rap song called Soody's Booty

4:37 pm

bichon

You can call me bichy

4:37 pm

Soodle

Thunk thunk thunk.... Background music to Soody's Booty.....

4:40 pm

MollyL

4:40 pm

Soodle

You can call me Al.....

4:42 pm

MollyL

And just remember, Meghan Trainor says she's bringing booty back

4:53 pm

8:10 pm

$200.00 to $500.00 per pot/pan , depending on size.. gulp!

8:14 pm

uusue2

hi all!

8:14 pm

crosshair

suze!

8:14 pm

uusue2

hi crossy!

8:15 pm

crosshair

How are you this fine evening?

8:15 pm

uusue2

not bad - just got back from walking the dogs with Frank

8:16 pm

crosshair

How is frank doing?

8:16 pm

uusue2

we didn't go too far as Frank is still pretty weak but it did him good to get outside

8:16 pm

uusue2

physically he is doing ok although he still isn't eating much due to gas pains; he had a bit of a meltdown earlier but the walk outside helped

8:17 pm

crosshair

Yes, Just getting out in the fresh air and smelling something other than hospital hand sanitizer or the smell of chemo coming out of your pores non-stop can help a lot

8:18 pm

uusue2

indeed! He says I should make him do it every day.

8:19 pm

crosshair

He will have zero motivation i am guessing. Everything is queasy, everything hurts and and every chore is like scaling a tall mountain

8:20 pm

uusue2

he hasn't had too much trouble with queasiness but he still hates the bag

8:20 pm

uusue2

and not eating much is one way of not having to deal with it much - I don't think he's consciously deciding that but I think that's part of his reluctance

8:21 pm

crosshair

yES, THAT BAG MUST TAKE SOME GETTING USED TO

8:21 pm

crosshair

darn, sorry caps

8:21 pm

uusue2

quite a lot. And getting used to it while going through chemo doesn't make it any easier.

8:22 pm

crosshair

My beloved had to geep all my most favorite foods on hand to get me to eat anything at all at the time and all strong foods had to go. Bland food was the order of the day or up it would come

8:22 pm

crosshair

keep

8:22 pm

uusue2

yes, I'm still trying to figure out what he will eat

8:24 pm

crosshair

In my case it was ice cream, freezies, scrambled eggs. lightly toasted bread with little butter,pudding, yogurt, gatorade and I had to drink that Ensure meal replacement crap

8:24 pm

crosshair

soup, cream soups were ok

8:24 pm

uusue2

he won't touch the Ensure; he's ok with one scrambled egg (and one waffle)

8:24 pm

crosshair

nothing real chunky though

8:25 pm

uusue2

white rice and egg rolls or pot stickers - they're gluten free and not fried

8:25 pm

periwinkle

hi all, back to finish

8:25 pm

periwinkle

help with in7/28 pls

8:25 pm

uusue2

hi peri!

8:25 pm

crosshair

they have the new Ensure juice, suze, perhaps it may be better

8:25 pm

periwinkle

hi sue and frank too!

8:25 pm

crosshair

a town without a hotel,peri\

8:25 pm

periwinkle

I made a poem :)

8:25 pm

uusue2

no, we tried that last time. I did get some Gatorade but he hasn't tried it yet.

8:26 pm

crosshair

lol, I puked more gatorage on chemo... i cannot touch the stuff now

8:26 pm

crosshair

gatorade

8:26 pm

crosshair

and the drinks have to be cold, iced cold to the poink of ice slivers bobbing in it

8:27 pm

crosshair

point

8:27 pm

uusue2

he doesn't like the regular gatorade but one of his friends told him the fruit punch flavor wasn't too bad - I got that, berry fruit punch, and pink lemonade flavors

8:27 pm

uusue2

the oxaliplatin makes him very sensitive to the cold so he wants his drinks more towards room temperature

8:27 pm

uusue2

sounds like the cisplatin didn't do that?

8:27 pm

crosshair

I used to have to partially freeze all my drinks into a slushee

8:28 pm

crosshair

ahh

8:28 pm

crosshair

no, the cisplatin was evil stuff, suze

8:28 pm

uusue2

the oxaliplatin is evil too but a different evil, I think

8:28 pm

crosshair

I could taste it, smell it and sweat it 24/7 when i had a pee it was all you could smell. it was all-invasive

8:29 pm

crosshair

all of it is poison to kill poison

8:29 pm

uusue2

indeed it is. And next time (week after next) they will start him on the Avastin.

8:30 pm

crosshair

I wish him well and an easy pain-free treatment

8:30 pm

uusue2

thanks! I hope so too...

8:31 pm

crosshair

I am very glad the nausea is not too bad with him

8:31 pm

periwinkle

me 3!!

8:31 pm

uusue2

me too! He took antinausea meds starting Tuesday (treatment day) through yesterday and that seemed to help a lot

8:32 pm

crosshair

I used to take pills daily and a bag of I.V anti-nausea with each treatment

8:32 pm

uusue2

yes, they give him a bag of the stuff first thing

8:33 pm

crosshair

even 8 years later i can still smell it.

8:33 pm

uusue2

you mean it's still there, or you remember it that well?

8:33 pm

crosshair

I remember it that well

8:34 pm

uusue2

he gets kind of a funny taste while the oxaliplatin is running but so far it doesn't seem to have a longer effect than that; it may get worse with time, though

8:35 pm

crosshair

I think the actual chemo drugs washed out of my system inside of a couple of month once treatment was done

8:35 pm

crosshair

how is his hair doing?

8:36 pm

uusue2

so far it's still all there; last time it got thinner, and the long parts of his moustache fell out, but he didn't lose it all

8:36 pm

uusue2

they said this time should be similar

8:36 pm

crosshair

hehe, i was as bald as a cue-ball. Lost it all. every last hair on my body. Talc powder became my best friend. friction was everywhere lol

8:37 pm

uusue2

apparently that doesn't usually happen with the stuff he's on - one thing to be glad for, anyway!

8:39 pm

crosshair

tell frank the cancer diet is wonderful: all the pizza and beer you want and, and you want none of it and the pounds just melt away:)

8:39 pm

uusue2

haha, he already can't have pizza or beer, unless they're gluten free

8:39 pm

crosshair

well, a good book is calling me, so i will bid you goodnight suze.

8:39 pm

uusue2

and the pounds have already melted off him :-(

8:44 pm

uusue2
