oh my, good milestone! Looks like it really is helping. Awesome :D
1:50 am
grannyrose
* sigh * and he was such a nice squirrel
1:50 am
sprite
*grins* He'll be around, rose, don't worry
1:51 am
grannyrose
it was fantastic. about a third intothe infusion, i felt all my muscles relaxing. if i had been home and in bed, i would have rolled over and gone to sleep. it was bliss.
1:51 am
sprite
oh wow! Must be such a relief, to finally be able to feel your muscles relax.
1:52 am
grannyrose
it s sprite. you don't realise how tense they are, until they relax. lol
1:52 am
sprite
ain't that the truth!
1:54 am
sprite
did you get a chance to ask him about a link between incontinence and CSS?
1:55 am
grannyrose
no, he just canulated me and ran out the door. i am to have a proper consult with him next week.
1:55 am
sprite
lol ok :) No rest for the wicked... or for doctors!
2:00 am
sprite
I hope you will sleep beautifully, rose, with those relaxed muscles and no hot flashes and no cramps. No alarm clock, you hear? Just... sleep!
2:01 am
grannyrose
oh for goodness sake. i asked don when doc martin came on, and he said 12 minutes past 4. and i said okay just after 4 then, to which he said, no 2 minutes past 4 is just past four. and i said it's lucky you are wearing your glasses...he repeated what he had said, looked at me and said, i'm going to wear these glasses for a very long time, aren't i?
2:02 am
grannyrose
oh, sprite i am so looking forward to tonight.
2:02 am
sprite
lololllll oh my god, rose, this is about exactly what Rob could have said... they are alike in that way, aren't they?
2:03 am
grannyrose
oh, dear....we may have problems separating the two of th4.
2:03 am
Lizlin
Quick hi and hugs - have internet problems, so tethering iPad to phone. Glad magnesium working :) now going back to lurk!
2:04 am

they will probably finish each others sentences, too. we aren't going to stop laughing the whole time.
2:04 am

hi Liz, how unpleasant, I hope it gets solved quickly. *hugs* for you both.
2:05 am
sprite
lol am picturing that now.
2:06 am
grannyrose
oh my gosh. watching the news. the people of fiji are actually lined up for 100's of metres, waiting to vote. you never see anything like that here
2:08 am

3:38 am
grannyrose
nice, seain. hmmm end of your summer, end of my winter...now i know when to plan my trip to the americas.
3:42 am
dcseain
Yes, depending on where in the US/Canada, Summer is May-Sep, Jun-Aug, Jul-Sep. Here in the Washington, DC/Baltimore area, i think April and October are the nicest times to visit.
3:44 am
grannyrose
okay, i guess i am going to be emailing a lot of you....or i need to spend a lot of time over there.
3:44 am
dcseain
a HS friend of mine is visiting at the end of the month. He lives in Melbourne.
3:45 am
dcseain
Well, those of us in Virginia, DC, Maryland, Deleware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey have gotten together several times in various parts of our region. And i'm sure we'd be happy to get together for you if you were in our ballpark region. :)
3:45 am
grannyrose
oh ??? where about in melbourne ?
3:59 am
dcseain
hm. I'd have to do some digging. Hm. i'll have to find out. :) Two of my HS friends live there -- one's house hunting now -- they're looking in Box Hill.
4:02 am
dcseain
i see that that's E of Melbourne proper.
4:03 am
grannyrose
box hill same side of melbourne central as me.it's about 30-45 minutes from me, depending on the time and day.
4:08 am
grannyrose
wouldn't it be lovely to meet up? i am thinking of an aussie meet...
4:08 am
dcseain
i know here in North America, we've had a number of regional meet-ups, if not a in a while.
4:09 am
dcseain
on that note, it's a bit after 5 here (Grid Time+1). I think i might get some sleep now.
4:09 am

about once a month, my friend Catherine and I have an afternoon
4:12 am
rubyfoo
We go to the multiplex and take our chances
4:12 am
rubyfoo
don't really care, it's just great to get out of here
4:12 am
grannyrose
lol...the best way...
4:13 am
rubyfoo
and if there's nothing appealing, we just go shopping and walk around
4:13 am
grannyrose
yeah, i hear you friend. when i go out with my friend, june. i clamber into her car and say...get me outta here!.
4:13 am
rubyfoo
same script! lol
4:14 am
grannyrose
roflol...
4:15 am
rubyfoo
and now I have to make lunch for himself who has been walking in circles all morning. I came downstairs at 8"30 and he was already finishing his aperitif!
4:15 am
rubyfoo
I wish I had nothing to do!
4:15 am
grannyrose
please don't get me wrong...i love don to pieces...but i just have to be away from him in order to stay with him. does that make sense?
4:16 am
rubyfoo
definitely! That's why retirement is so difficult.
4:17 am
grannyrose
no you don't ruby. i cannot do stuff. it drives me nuts. in my head, i can do so much...reality...i cannot do it.
4:18 am
rubyfoo
No, what I mean is, my day is filled with little tasks -- a load of laundry here, a meal there, a dog walk here, etc. I would love to just sit around and read
4:18 am
rubyfoo
I loved working and don't love being a caregiver!
4:19 am
grannyrose
only for a short period, dear. then your brain would kick in with...what's next?
4:19 am
rubyfoo
ya think?
4:19 am
grannyrose
what you need is a massive dose of grannyrose...
4:20 am
rubyfoo
I'm waiting for that.....!!!!
4:20 am
grannyrose
so am i, love...it cannot happen too soon.
4:22 am
grannyrose
i am just hanging in there. waiting for social service's answer to my application for a pension. and wondering what the outcome of conciliation will be. i just want to be free to live my life again.
4:22 am
rubyfoo
the phone just rang twice -- first a telemarketer ("sorry, I don't speak French" and then my husband "What is the plan today -- it's written on our daily calendar!!!))
4:23 am

Summer is still holding on here.Thank goodness!
4:27 am

xoxox...are you well ? ho9w is the mother ?? is the weather still being kind to you ?
4:27 am
grannyrose
ahhhh, you answered my last question.
4:28 am
zoozzoom
Mother is fine.Althogh they are having a wet room fitted and they do not like people running up and down the stairs all day bless them..lol
4:28 am
zoozzoom
I ma well also :-)
4:28 am
grannyrose
i have more tulip bulbs than i planted sprouting. I DIDN'T KILL TH4!!!
4:29 am
zoozzoom
YaY for you! Hope they are all different colours?
4:29 am
grannyrose
my first is about to bloom...never has a tulip bulb been so closely monitored...lol
4:30 am
grannyrose
i hope so, zooz. i bought a bag of mixed bulbs.
4:30 am
zoozzoom
Teehee! I love potting about in my garden. I have no plan or idea of what I am doing.But I enjoy it non the less.
4:32 am
grannyrose
ditto zooz. and the sun is showing more and more. don has started bringing down the brick chimney between the kitchen and laundry. my dreams are very close to being realised.
4:32 am
zoozzoom
I used to rake up all the fallen leafs in the autumn.But then I watched a time lapsed video of the leafs on the ground and all these worms popped up and pulled the leaves underground it was amazing.That is what give the soil nourishment!
4:33 am
zoozzoom
Sounds like a lot of work.Glad he is getting it done though :-)
4:33 am
grannyrose
wow!! zooz..such an incredible thing to see.
4:34 am
zoozzoom
Well it was on TV I did not do the time lapse video myself but yes it was amazing.Nature IS amazing!
4:34 am
grannyrose
you and me both zooz. we have such a tiny kitchen...and nowhere for an eating area.
4:35 am
zoozzoom
I too have a tiny kitchen.So I eat in my front room and watch TV.Not enough room the the kitchen for a table.That is how small my kitchen is :-(
4:37 am
grannyrose
yeah...i hear you...i have a very small table in the kitchen. about 2' by 3'. when we open up the two rooms we will be able to have a 4' diameter round table in there.
4:38 am
zoozzoom
I think American people would be shocked by the size of a lot of our kitchens and other rooms here in the UK. They seem to have much larger and better built properties there.
4:38 am
zoozzoom
That does sound better, Rose more room to sit down and enjoy your meal :-)
4:38 am
grannyrose
zooz....most homes/houses were built for a much smaller race
4:40 am
zoozzoom
My house in the winter gets so cold and that is with the heating on full.I sit there with a duvet around me and a wollen hat..lol And that is no joke.
4:40 am
grannyrose
the americans have had unlimited space available.
4:41 am
zoozzoom
Hence the reason why I am enjoying the summer still holding on here :-)
4:41 am
grannyrose
ugh, zooz. what sort of heating do you have?
4:43 am
zoozzoom
Crappy economy seven which is to say it comes on at night and heats up these brick things inside the heater and it is supposed to release the heat during the day.The only problem with that is.That it goes cold by about 9pm :-(
4:43 am
zoozzoom
But my house is so crap built (it is newish) it does not hold the heat in!
4:45 am
zoozzoom
All the older house we lived in in, in the past, say pre 1930s were much better built and held the heat in so much better than these crap new ones.
4:45 am
zoozzoom
oops too many ins there..lol
4:47 am
grannyrose
lolol, zooz.would it be easier and cheaper to buy some 'portable' heaters. and leave the other turned off ?
4:47 am
zoozzoom
I had better take my leave as I need to check on my parents to see if they are coping okay with the builders still running rampage in their house..lol
4:48 am
zoozzoom
Not with the price of electricity & gas the way it is.No, Rose :-(
4:48 am
grannyrose
oh, dear, zooz. hope all is well with the olds.
4:48 am
zoozzoom

I know...makes me so mad. The entire area here has gone that way and there are no transcription jobs to be found. The group I'm doing no is in Colorado and can't go that way due to the alien chipmunk.
7:45 am
car.eeyore
In Amadeus, his wife refers to him as "Wolfie"...so it makes me think of that!
7:45 am
car.eeyore
Alien chipmunk, Mimi? What are you smoking?!?!?
7:45 am
car.eeyore
...and can I have some?
7:46 am
MimiCat
You don't remember what I called the radiologist who owns this practice when describing how horrible she is to transcribe? I called her the alien chipmunk with OCD on drugs. She's the worst I have ever heard including foreign doctors.
7:46 am
car.eeyore
Ok...off again to drive mom to her day program.
7:46 am
car.eeyore
OMG! That sucks.
7:46 am

I don't have to transcribe her...I transcribe another doc at the practice who is great.

And now it is time for Crossy,s tidbit of the day!! Today I am thinking of the big vote for our Scottish friends tomorrow, and it brought to mind our own Quebec referendum of 1995 and I wish to share a few number with you that I find rather interesting: First thing was the voter turn-out at that time was almost 94%, Not bad at all. There were 4,671,008 registered voters and the final vote was tight with a 1.2% spread of 49.42% yea to 50.58% no. Very very tight indeed. Of all that there were 86,501 spoiled or otherwise inadmissible votes totaling 1.82%. Just think of that. If all over those spoiled votes had been usable it might have changed the course of history! Check your votes my Scottish friends and make them count, no matter if you are yea or nay because as you can see, it can be very close indeed!

When the spoiled vote percentage exceeds the final tally spread percentage it can cause much anguish:)

you could have had a recount and then your supreme court could have stepped in and arbitrarily ended the recount and caused people to be mad forever
2:24 pm
josephjames
what a missed opportunity
2:24 pm
crosshair
Oh sure, that would of caused a riot
2:25 pm
crosshair
with it that tight, you can be sure it was counted many times
2:26 pm
crosshair
I am sure they agonized over each and every one of those spoied vites

hi, molly and ruby :)
3:21 pm
MollyL
Hey Seain, how's tricks? : )
3:24 pm
dcseain
okay, you?
3:24 pm
dcseain
hi, crossy.
3:25 pm
dcseain
chat had frozen for me, just refreshed.
3:25 pm
MollyL
Yes, this site seems to be in need of repairs lately.
3:31 pm
dcseain
he's not been getting enough money in as i understand it. I'd gladly pay more to support the site.
3:35 pm
MollyL
Many internet sites are dying due to the fact that everyone is parked on Facebook all day long. It's sad.
3:40 pm
dcseain
are they. huh.
3:50 pm
MollyL
Facebook offers lots of free games and a way to make private discussion boards where only "certain" people are allowed in. I've watched a lot of web sites die over the past few years.
3:51 pm
dcseain
huh. that makes sense.
3:52 pm
dcseain
on that not, i'm going to take a nap. :) Nice chatting with you.
4:38 pm
MimiCat
Molly, I really hate FB...did you see my description of it?
4:41 pm
MimiCat
Hey, bichon! Haven't spoke to you in ages!
4:42 pm
bichon
I've been around. How are you Mimi?
4:43 pm
MimiCat
Really good, thanks. Finally got part of my settlement money from my Social Security judgment...I feel rich...temporarily.
4:43 pm
bichon
Savor the moment
4:44 pm
MimiCat
And...found a great Italian restaurant here in Phoenix...not an easy thing to do.
4:44 pm
bichon
We have so many just in my city in CT. Lots of Italians here
4:45 pm
MimiCat
This place as something I've been looking for in this town for 30 years...a really good meatball sub!!
4:46 pm
MimiCat
We mostly have enchiladas and BBQ here.
4:46 pm
MimiCat
Really good delis are also rare....hate that.
4:46 pm
bichon
A lot of the old Italian places here have gone out of busines, replaced with more modern cuisine
4:47 pm
MimiCat
One day I would love to do an "eating tour" of Italy...start at the top and end at the bottom! But they'd have to ship me home in a box!
4:47 pm
bichon
That's why I live in the NE, good Italian, Chinese. There's even a good BBQ here in town
4:47 pm
bichon
They even have good pizza in Italian chain places
4:48 pm
MimiCat
This place also has excellent pizza...couldn't even eat it without knife and fork it had so much great sauce and cheese.
4:49 pm
MimiCat
I never get pizza anymore since I'm trying to lose weight, but every once in awhile.....
4:50 pm
MimiCat
Of course, I'll lose this place when I move north into the mountains next year. But I really want to live there and told my realtor to not even show me anything without a view of the mountains.
4:53 pm
MimiCat
He showed me two great houses that I just loved but I need this next year to get all my ducks in a row, both financially and health-wise....more doctors here in Phoenix who specialize.
4:54 pm
MimiCat
I really hate being "mature" with my decisions...totally goes against my nature!
4:56 pm
MimiCat
OK--leaving now. Have a good night!

We are...and he's learning some entertaining stuff!
11:14 pm

Camo mom is keeping a journal so she can make a book to memorialize his fun stuff :)

11:26 pm
Pinikula
Not sure about any others...but my Italian ancestors went to Hilt when the immigrated.
11:28 pm
rururocks
I imagine that people take everything to the Hilt
11:29 pm
Pinikula
Yeah, something like that... LOL
11:29 pm

I understand that they have a nice hotel in the town.. the Hilt-on?
