3:28 am

sprite

Hello ru!
Hello Dianne and Marc!

3:29 am

grannyrose

wb sprite. was still very tired this AM. but had some retail therapy and lunch out with don helped me progress nicely.

3:30 am

sprite

well done, dear friend. And lots of re4 too I hope.

3:31 am

grannyrose

yup, lots of that too. after shouting at me yesterday, don has been very kind today. i know it's stress for him, but after friday i couldn't handle another confrontation.

3:32 am

sprite

ugh no. What on earth was he shouting about?

3:32 am

Marc Freeman

hello Sprite

3:32 am

Marc Freeman

en6, please?

3:33 am

grannyrose

he moved his little armchair table too quickly and the glass nearly fell off. i was accused of always having to be right, never wrong, simply because i reached over and grabbed the glass as it headed for the edge of the table. nearly brought me to tears.

3:34 am

grannyrose

en6, en + gown

3:34 am

Marc Freeman

thanks

3:35 am

sprite

aw how unfair! Yeah, sounds like stress alright, and him feeling stupid for almost making a mess. But he must not vent it on you.

3:36 am

grannyrose

i know, love. but i simply cannot handle any more confrontation at the moment. he is so stressed and worried on my account. i have even thought of offering to move out until the sorry mess is finished.

3:36 am

sprite

did he apologise?

3:37 am

grannyrose

not as such, but lots of tender caresses and kisses.

3:38 am

sprite

hmz. Best talk it over, in my opinion. You moving out would be crazy. For better and for worse, you guys can manage this together.

3:38 am

grannyrose

yes i know, sprite. and when i am feeling not so quite fragile i will try to bring it up.

3:39 am

sprite

{{{{{{{rose}}}}}}} I think it is wise to pick your time. Wish I could help you.

3:40 am

grannyrose

omg, you have to be joking me. the weather forecast for tomorrow is hail....after a day of 30c/86F

3:40 am

sprite

madness

3:44 am

grannyrose

oh, and the manary is back to flirting with me. when i walk past and whistle, he hops up to the top perch, and hops from side to side, fluttering his wings. it makes me giggle.

3:45 am

sprite

awwww that is so sweet!

3:46 am

grannyrose

he sort of peeps in his throat at the same time. don gets grumpy...he never does that with him...

3:46 am

sprite

that is because the manary is not gay. Silly Don.

3:46 am

grannyrose

roflol....of course...

3:55 am

sprite

how about an eatfest?

3:58 am

sprite

I am sure I have been to an eatfest or two in my life

4:11 am

grannyrose

sorry love was out catching up with emails. was gonna ask you about the clinic appointment the day after your disastrous return home from singing.

4:11 am

grannyrose

or would you rather GT to answer?

4:12 am

sprite

hehehe, our rose and squirrels :)
Clinic visit was ok. Am to experiment a bit more with the imodium. Take one for two days, then skip one day. And take them with the evening meal.

4:12 am

sprite

she was happy with the pee medication catching on, and I am to continue training with the pt.

4:13 am

grannyrose

good, an alternative answer. hope it works out.

4:14 am

sprite

well you know how it is... same with you... meds never seem to work the way they do with other people. Always odd reactions.

4:15 am

grannyrose

frustrating, isn't it?

4:15 am

rubyfoo

hello my friends!

4:15 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} ruby

4:15 am

sprite

immensely. Wish things could be more 'normal'.

4:15 am

sprite

*hugs ruby* How are you healing up after your fall?

4:15 am

rubyfoo

I got some great advice from John (NOT!!) get smaller dogs (dog) or a professional dog walker. He is such a jerk!

4:16 am

rubyfoo

He doesn't realize that when I fell, if it hadn't been for big fluffy Rufie, I would have broken my elbow or knee

4:16 am

sprite

that was not kind of him

4:17 am

rubyfoo

I am healing well and, funnily, although I'm bruised and scraped, no black and blues

4:17 am

rubyfoo

Kind is not an adjective which applies to him.

4:17 am

rubyfoo

I'd be surprised if I hear from him again for a long while

4:18 am

sprite

good to hear you are healing well, and yay for no black and blues

4:18 am

grannyrose

well that is good in one way ruby, re the scrapes. yes, son is a jerk to make light of your misadventure.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

It must have something to do with my blood but, anway, it's a good thing. And I wouldn't give up my big dogs for the world!

4:19 am

grannyrose

at least you can talk to your son ruby. my son whose daughter is due to be bo4 today has not bothered to contact me at all.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

He thinks he's the expert on dogs, that they should be well-trained and obedient. Chows are not like other dogs. They are very good, very clean and affectionate, but they don't "sit" when you say sit (unless they feel like it) He is such a control freak that he can't stand it when Rufe wants to stop and sniff and choose his own ro***.

4:21 am

rubyfoo

I don't think I can talk to him any more

4:21 am

rubyfoo

Burt is stomping around, so I had better go See you later, sweeties!

4:22 am

sprite

fireflies. Am off, *hugs* to you both.

4:22 am

grannyrose

ruby, raspberries to him, hun. with my compliments.

4:23 am

grannyrose

WtG SPRITE!!! enjoy your day, sweet friend.

4:23 am

rubyfoo

I wouldn't waste good fruit! lol

4:23 am

rubyfoo

BTW my new round of figs are even tastier than the spring ones

4:23 am

grannyrose

nice, ruby...save some for me...

4:24 am

rubyfoo

I'll see if I can find a recipe for Fig Newtons.

4:26 am

grannyrose

many recipes out there, ruby. pick one, hun. xoxox

4:26 am

rubyfoo

I am looking for one for fig jam, but don't think there'll be enough. I'd ryther pig out while they're fresh

4:27 am

grannyrose

np's ruby. i hope you enjoy them...

4:28 am

rubyfoo

that was a painless 93 but I have no idea of the 9

4:29 am

rubyfoo

ooh, 100!

4:32 am

rubyfoo

Happy landings!

4:32 am

grannyrose

g'day zooz, how lovely to see you, mate

4:33 am

grannyrose

ruby, did you find the na89?

4:34 am

rubyfoo

yes, thanks to zzoozz spoon-feeding me.

4:34 am

rubyfoo

poor Burt cant read his watch any more and came all the way down here to see what time it was

4:34 am

grannyrose

good for you, ruby

4:35 am

grannyrose

ruby, can you afford a "talking" clock?

4:35 am

rubyfoo

I feel sorry for him but, at the same time, it's hard to not be annoyed

4:35 am

rubyfoo

Unless it could go on his wrist, it wouldn't help

4:36 am

rubyfoo

Most of the time, we're in the same room (unfortunately)

4:36 am

grannyrose

yes, there are "talking" wrist watches

4:37 am

rubyfoo

no kidding. But he probably couldn't hear it, lol

4:37 am

grannyrose

he does have hearing aids, yes?

4:37 am

rubyfoo

doesn't wear them except if we have company and I insist

4:37 am

rubyfoo

never for me

4:38 am

grannyrose

okay...leave it with me, dear friend

4:38 am

rubyfoo

have to go {{rosie}}

4:38 am

rubyfoo

when you visit, he'll wear them or I'll hit him with a stick!

4:39 am

grannyrose

4:46 am

crosshair

good morning everyone

4:47 am

grannyrose

g'day crossy

4:48 am

crosshair

how is rose on this fine day?

4:52 am

grannyrose

g'day crossy. i am still wound up after friday. but after 2 days of slow moving, i am okay. and my mate, crossy? how are you?

4:53 am

crosshair

oh yes. Your big meeting. It went well for you i hope.

4:53 am

grannyrose

i have nearly finished the second book of arthur c clarke's compilations. moving onto cronin doyle or the brothers grimm. which do you recommend?

4:54 am

crosshair

Oh you must start with doyle

4:54 am

crosshair

I have his complete works in digital format if you need a copy.

4:56 am

grannyrose

crossy, it was so abysmal...they only offered me back pay to the end of august plus 6 weeks pay. and future GP, physio, hydro treatments, unlimited. will not pay for pain management doctor. i am quite decided to wait it out.

4:57 am

crosshair

Yup. let your lawyer and union rep grind on it for a bit

4:57 am

grannyrose

okay, we have a hard copy of conin doyle...moving on to them...

4:58 am

grannyrose

we are waiting for the offer in hard copy...lawyer is quite delighted. conciliator told us i had been diddled, big time.

4:59 am

crosshair

Here, healthcare pays for 26 physio and hydro treatments per anum anyways so that would not be a big concession at all, though once every 2 weeks is not enough

5:04 am

grannyrose

in the conciliator's opinion. the last workcover report was compromised between my employer, their workcover agent and the doctor.

5:06 am

crosshair

:(

5:08 am

grannyrose

crossy...not at all...i have the reports etc to bring them all down..

5:11 am

crosshair

as long as they do not drag it on for 5 more years

5:15 am

grannyrose

crossy...fortunately...i have my beloved beside me.

5:15 am

grannyrose

and now...i must go to consume my dinner.

5:16 am

crosshair

enjoy, rose:)

5:33 am

grannyrose

and back...g'day

5:38 am

crosshair

that was a quick nosh:)

5:39 am

grannyrose

*giggle* i am a nurse...we all eat very fast..

5:40 am

grannyrose

it happens after years of having to get back to our work station within a half an hour.

5:40 am

crosshair

We are the same. not the type to idly chit chat over a meal(unless it is a special occasion)

5:41 am

crosshair

One of my pet peeves is people who take great delight in talking at length with their mouths full of food.

5:43 am

grannyrose

with you crossy....no mouth full of food after walking up 9 floors of stairs...

5:45 am

crosshair

9 floors from the lunchroom?? Would be hungry again by the time I go to the top!

5:46 am

grannyrose

lolol...yup crossy. dining room was on the fi5 floor...ward was on the ninth floor...and we were not allowed to use the lift.

5:49 am

grannyrose

and on night duty. the dining room was in the basement when i worked on the 9th floor...which meant i had to clamber up 10 flights of stairs to return to the ward where i was working.

5:50 am

crosshair

so... 28 minutes to get to the lunch room, 2 minutes to eat, 28 minutes back up to your floor and 2 minutes to have a pee lol

5:52 am

grannyrose

nope, crossy...30 minutes for the whole time...

5:52 am

crosshair

Perhaps a nurses lunch room on each floor?

5:52 am

crosshair

Our bigger hospitals have that

5:53 am

grannyrose

that is 30 minutes...to get to the dining room, eat my meal, pee and get back up to the 9th floor.

5:53 am

crosshair

omg

5:54 am

grannyrose

very strict, i agree. but it made us able to nurse all the better.

5:54 am

crosshair

I am sure it taught you to swallow your food whole:)

5:55 am

grannyrose

roflol, crossy...exactly...

5:56 am

crosshair

Well now you can enjoy your food:)

5:56 am

grannyrose

hmmm, you think so?

5:57 am

crosshair

i would hope you can take a moment and smell the roses as it were.. unless your home has 9 floors:))

5:58 am

grannyrose

lolol, crossy...but when the food is so delicious...hard to restrain myself...

5:59 am

crosshair

:)

5:59 am

crosshair

My son eats food whole:/

5:59 am

grannyrose

going to get my meds ready...

6:01 am

crosshair

Takes me 2 hours to make some wonderful meal. I sweat blood in the act of crating a gastronomic delight ... then i watch him gulp it down in three minutes without taking his eyes away from his smart phone.. may as well have given him a bowl of gruel... he would not have noticed the difference:)

6:13 am

rubyfoo

hello, everybody

6:13 am

lbdawger

here here, what annie said

6:13 am

rubyfoo

Back from a good lunch at Sprite's resto

6:13 am

crosshair

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

6:13 am

Anniebrook

((ruby))

6:13 am

crosshair

I have that carved on my desk:)

6:14 am

grannyrose

don has been very supportive. he has said he will do the laundry....after i sort it of course...lol

6:14 am

rubyfoo

Chilly, but at least it's not raining. And the days are getting shorter, too rapidly to suit me. Hate autumn!

6:14 am

rubyfoo

Mailing stuff to you tomorrow, Annie, but addressing the envelope to Bobby, so he'll hve the pleasure

6:15 am

grannyrose

crossy...invictus indeed.

6:15 am

6:15 am

Morning ruby.

6:16 am

rubyfoo

Annie, you and Bobby have filled the hole in my heart left by my friend Shari's demise. The last place we went together was Brighton Beach

6:16 am

crosshair

you would love how I do laundry, rose. Gather it all up, toss it in the machine, pound it down with a pole, add soap, select the hottest setting I can find and hit frapee :)

6:16 am

rubyfoo

hello sukee

6:17 am

Anniebrook

Oh ruby, how sad to lose a friend. Was Shari a childhood friend?

6:17 am

grannyrose

roflol...crossy...man after my soul

6:18 am

grannyrose

awww...{{hugs}} my darling ruby.

6:18 am

rubyfoo

We became friends in about 1978 when I was living in NY agai, and met her on a plane coming back from a biz trip to Phoenix. I saw her, onemonth later, in a blizzard when I had walked to Bloomingdale's. She didn't recognize me, but I recognized her and we became close friends thereafter

6:18 am

crosshair

though it backfires on occasion. Once I ended up washing a nice, new, bright red t-shirt with white socks and undies.... I spent the rest of the year wearing pink socks and underwear;(

6:18 am

Anniebrook

Ruby, you would not recognize Brighton Beach today. It is called Odessa by the Sea. All Russian shops. No American shops on BBA any longer. The building I live in was 100% English speaking when I moved in years ago. Now it is 90% Russian speaking.

6:18 am

sukee

:) crossy

6:19 am

crosshair

I am sorry for the loss of your friend , ruby

6:20 am

rubyfoo

Crossy, they advertise a product here that keeps colors from running. I find it hard to believe. My son wore pink underwear for a while, maybe that's why he's so nasty....lol

6:20 am

rubyfoo

No, no, she died after we were here so at least 13 yrs ago, but I still mourn her loss

6:21 am

Anniebrook

Burt is in the grid.

Lizlin

Hi all. Hi Crossy - how did the exam go?

6:43 am

crosshair

now the cats are skating all over it:(

6:43 am

crosshair

went very well liz:)))

6:43 am

crosshair

I will know the results by end of next week:)

6:44 am

crosshair

went in with a 96%, so am not too worried:)

6:44 am

Lizlin

Glad you feel good about it - never fun waiting for results though. 96% - a good way to go into any exam!!!

6:44 am

crosshair

Kind of funny really; the exam (worth 15%) can only bring me down, unless it is flawless

6:44 am

Lizlin

Flawless is a hard ask!

6:45 am

crosshair

so, as law class showed me, it will most likely fall between 90 and 97% and i shall be content with that

6:46 am

Lizlin

That's still an awesome result - something to be very proud of.

6:47 am

crosshair

it may sound insane, but college and Uni classes are often overbooked for the most popular classes and the cut-offs fall between 80-90%. they cherry-pick the bodies to fill those limited seats

6:48 am

Lizlin

Yikes! Standards must be getting higher and higher then, which is no bad thing.

6:48 am

crosshair

The nursing class cut-off , for example, is 90%

6:48 am

crosshair

as is first responders and social services

6:48 am

Lizlin

What's your next move?

6:49 am

crosshair

That is a good question... My next move may be a college course or two. we shall see

6:49 am

Lizlin

Look forward to finding out - not rushing you though!

6:49 am

crosshair

I must touch base with a guidance office here on our local campus

6:50 am

crosshair

find out my options

6:50 am

Lizlin

Any particular direction appealing to you?

6:52 am

lbdawger

Hi Liz! just popping back in to say ttfn. time for brekkies and other daily stuffs. *poof*

6:52 am

crosshair

Online copy editing work would be a nice direction, I think.

6:52 am

Lizlin

Hi lbd - have a great day - I'll be in bed by the time you're back.

6:53 am

Lizlin

That sounds good Crossy - added advantage that you can work from home and set your own hours.

6:56 am

Lizlin

I'm outta here - 10 left but need an early-ish night. Into Brisbane tomorrow pm to see stand up UK comic, Bill Bailey.

6:56 am

crosshair

I would love to get my teeth into CNN's copy room:)

6:56 am

crosshair

tc liz and have a great evening

6:56 am

So enjoy your day - good to catch up with you, Crossy. tc

Have you see the new show The Mysteries of Laura with Debra Messing. I watched it one and a 1/2 times and I do not like it. I like her but not in that role.

7:40 am

MollyL

I saw the preview and it looked dumb so I gave that a pass

7:41 am

periwinkle

It does not seem to flow well, in my opinion

7:41 am

MollyL

I think the best new show on right now is How To Get Away With Murder

7:41 am

she was much better in Smash

7:41 am

Oh yes, I like that show.

Deer are cute and sweet, right up to the time they devour the last plant in the garden

9:39 am

Welki!

9:42 am

Scrabbler

Hi welki

9:43 am

here, we have elevated walkways for wildlife - but they don't always comply

welki, there is a fish for you in the grid. tr5

ah, home of the stampede.

9:44 am

regular crosswalks, for humans and animals, are the norm in our cities, though - someone should teach those animals to read. (all of the animals!)

9:44 am

don't believe her, she lives in the big city.

9:44 am

it's a language problem

9:45 am

na8/45 = variation for term for someone that likes being in the outdoors

I actually found an 8 by myself.

Add an S for na9.

But I'm having big cr problems

9:46 am

bichon

ty Scrabs, sounds like you

9:46 am

welki

it's true, i live in a city - but even here, we get some four-legged wildlife crossing the streets, and the 'wilderness' is less than an hour away

9:46 am

Scrabbler

I do that too, jwr. Skinnydipping is required when kayaking in the wild.

9:46 am

hego

Scrab will tell you about that.

9:47 am

We must go almost 2 hours for wilderness.

The last time they saw a bear in this region was in 1896. \now all they have are foxes, boar, roe deer and mountain goats. Oh and badgers. But I've never seen any of them and the woods and cliffs and a big field are right here!

9:49 am

That is still a lot of nice wildlife to see, Ruby.

hi ruby - badgers and boars can be nasty to run into :(

9:50 am

rubyfoo

hello hego

9:50 am

Scrabbler

Oh, but that is terrible, Ruby.

9:50 am

hego

:)

9:50 am

rubyfoo

And a deer ate all of a neighbor's roses and she had many plants

9:50 am

welki

bores and boors can be nasty to run into, too :)

9:50 am

hego

lol

9:51 am

rubyfoo

I had no idea about badgers being a problem. Evidently in the UK they spread bovine TB

9:51 am

jwr

Racoons and skunks (and pigeons) have adapted so well to urban life we've forgotten they are essentially "wild" animals

9:52 am

rubyfoo

I've seen only 2 squirrels in the 15 yrs we've been here and I think it was the same scrawny black one. And there are no rabbits.

9:52 am

rubyfoo

I think the French have eaten everything.

9:52 am

hego

lol, true Ruby

9:53 am

hego

Spain also has very little wildlife for that reason.

9:53 am

rubyfoo

There are pigeons in "downtown" Annecy but the only one I've seen here was very large and head a red band around its throat, lovely.

9:53 am

Scrabbler

I was in Canada last week (NIagara Falls, Ontario) and the squirrels are mostly black.

9:54 am

rubyfoo

In Princeton all the squirrels were black

9:54 am

rubyfoo

The boar can tear up gardens, too, but our property is totally fenced in

9:55 am

jwr

squirrels carry rabies -- they've been removed from most cities altogether

9:55 am

hego

I don't think they would like your dogs.

9:55 am

rubyfoo

I didn't know that

9:55 am

doseffing

... black is the dominant gene ... they breed out all the greys and reds

9:55 am

rubyfoo

I didn't know that, either

9:55 am

hego

we have only greys

9:56 am

Scrabbler

Hi doseff. I was hiking in Niagara Glen last Tuesday. I love that place.

9:56 am

I've seen women here in coats that looked like they were made of 50 squirrels skins!

9:56 am

doseffing

... it's been years since I did the Bruce Trail ... starts there

9:56 am

I've only seen grey ones and that was when I was a kid.

9:57 am

We only have red ones here :-)

My sister lives in a very densely populated part of Queens NY and has a real problem with raccoons. They dexterously pen garbage cans and look at her through the door to her deck. Creepy

9:58 am

rubyfoo

No, it's cold enough here to need fur

9:58 am

Scrabbler

There are red and grey ones here. I prefer seeing the red ones--they are smaller and so cute. And, most of all, I love my chipmunks.

9:59 am

jwr

anyone with a dog or cat door invites racoons in for dinner -- they can open refrigerator doors too

9:59 am

rubyfoo

I've never seen a chipmunk (except in photos), even in NY state

9:59 am

Scrabbler

The raccoons here are clever and feisty.

9:59 am

Hi, Chrissie.

5:56 pm

periwinkle

jaxx I saw blue hair color at Target, not sure if it was permanent. one was royal blue which looked pretty dark and the other was a silvery blue. did not buy either one

5:57 pm

jaxx7

What colour is your hair, peri?

5:57 pm

periwinkle

blonde

5:57 pm

periwinkle

I am fair skinned

5:57 pm

periwinkle

with light eyes

5:58 pm

periwinkle

I was not crazy about the silvery blue. I thought it would make me look like the little old ladies with a blue rinse on their hair :)

5:58 pm

periwinkle

and the other blue was too dark, I need to look around some more

5:59 pm

jaxx7

the silvery blue might not look that good with blonde. To make an impact go for the royal blue. If it is semi permanent it will fade any way and if it is temporaty it will soon wash out.

5:59 pm

periwinkle

You have a point. I could start with a very thin line.

6:00 pm

MollyL

Peri, I think your hair looks very nice just the way it is.

6:00 pm

periwinkle

ah, thanks Molls.

6:01 pm

periwinkle

It wont' be permanent and I just want to do something different. it is either that or get a tattoo

6:01 pm

jaxx7

Molly, trust you. If I recommended terracotta or green you would argue. This is Peri's idea not mine.

6:01 pm

periwinkle

of course I could get a temp. tattoo. I think my family would all faint!

6:01 pm

MollyL

How about some highlights.

6:01 pm

jaxx7

That is what the blue will be.

6:01 pm

periwinkle

I have highlight

6:02 pm

periwinkle

highlights even

6:02 pm

periwinkle

I would only put the blue in one side

6:02 pm

jaxx7

peri, I won't influence you either way. You could try a hairdresser first and see what it will look like.

6:02 pm

periwinkle

or on either side of my face and they it would bring out the blue in my eyes.

6:03 pm

periwinkle

not to worry, jaxx. I will do what I feel is right.

6:04 pm

jaxx7

My relationship with Molly is volatile so I don't want to upset yours with her. Do what YOU want to. Don't let me influence you.

6:05 pm

periwinkle

You are not influencing me, jaxx. I was just commenting on what I saw in the store.

6:06 pm

periwinkle

fw. bye for now

6:06 pm

jaxx7

I have spent most of my life doing what other people want but my pink hair is a statement that now I have few years left I will do what I want to do.

6:06 pm

periwinkle

I made some red curry vegetable soup. going to see how it tastes.

6:06 pm

jaxx7

Is that red for very hot?

6:07 pm

periwinkle

I was a people pleaser for a long time too. but no more. cu all later

6:07 pm

periwinkle

yes.

6:07 pm

Enjoy.

6:07 pm

I used red curry paste. hope it is not too hot

Hi jaxx. Missed you coming in, my chat freezes on the ipad sometimes

We went all week without a visit from the SS!

6:13 pm

ChrissieDee

Progress?

6:14 pm

jaxx7

I think they are a little perplexed as to how to make the facts fit their actions

6:15 pm

ChrissieDee

Have your migraines settled down?

6:16 pm

jaxx7

They have made Jess 18 and changed from child protection to child in need of care. The truth is they jumped in feet first without checking the facts.

6:18 pm

ChrissieDee

Hi TO

6:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

ui've used the chalk colors to highlight a strand or two, i like them. people were freaked!

6:19 pm

jaxx7

I find that at the beginning after I take the meds, the vertigo goes and I can walk down the stairs without feeling I am going to tip forward. When we get close to the next meds it comes back with a vengeance. The migraines (I have fingers, toes and eyes crossed) seem to have ceased but the pink doughnut has become a silhouette of a bearded man, also pink. You can't say my life is black and white.

6:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh my, do the headaches affect your vision?

6:20 pm

crosshair

do you get severe nausea with the vertigo, jaxx?

6:21 pm

jaxx7

Is that meant for peri? She has gone off to taste her red curry soup. It is a good idea tho, TO, so perhaps the next time you are both here, mention it to her.

6:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

no, it was meant for you , jaxx.

6:22 pm

ChrissieDee

Is it exacerbated by all the stress?

6:22 pm

jaxx7

No, crossy, but the room spins alarmingly sometimes and sometimes the spinning is in my head.

6:24 pm

jaxx7

My husband doesn't like it and moans at the hairdressing bills but, h***, it is my pension and I will spend it how I wish. I have threatend to become a Plymouth Argylle fan and dye it purple and green in homage. I think he is making the best of it.

6:26 pm

crosshair

I think a different colour every once in a while makes things interesting:)

6:27 pm

jaxx7

The migraines started in the first place because of all the stress. First they affected my eyes and the second week caused the vertigo. I think my Nervous system is gradually crumbling away

6:28 pm

crosshair

stress can do some crazy things to a body:(

6:29 pm

jaxx7

I met my first love at a school reunion and he thought I was the school's dumpy blue stocking and I thought he had loved me! BooHoo

6:29 pm

jaxx7

Does that count as stress?

6:30 pm

crosshair

well, I am sure it was chaos at the time

6:30 pm

jaxx7

All my illusions shattered and she didn't have pink hair either.

6:30 pm

ChrissieDee

lol, not for you I'm sure

6:31 pm

jaxx7

No, he was serious and will never know how close he came to a black eye.

6:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh my!

6:31 pm

ChrissieDee

Bet you've broken many hearts since then :)

6:31 pm

crosshair

I am fortunate--my first love is still with me:)

6:32 pm

ChrissieDee

Awwww

6:33 pm

jaxx7

A few but he was my first love and being thought to be Joy Crispin by a man who hadn't altered much since we were 18, was not a happy sensation.

6:34 pm

ChrissieDee

He's obviously a fool jaxx

6:34 pm

jaxx7

Crossy, your other half is lovely. Clearly so was I once as he had photos he had taken of me while we were at school.

6:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am going to a college reunion next weekend not mine, but will hoepfully be interesting. i got out of going to the high school one.

6:34 pm

No - a politician. On second thoughts, you're right. lol

6:39 pm

Wow, great clue Bernice!

6:40 pm

BerniceQ

glad it worked (kind of convoluted)

6:40 pm

jaxx7

The oldest member was 95 and the man in charge of the old grammarians association dinner asked her to stand up and take a bow. This she did but when she sat down she fell off her seat. Great fuss as Molly was now on the floor. She suddenly roared out that could they leave her alone so she could get up in her own time.

The Government has sold off our carriers to India, cut troop numbers because they thought Russia was down and out and did it just before a large number were due to collect their pensions and sold the VTOL planes, the harrier, to your good selves. We are stuffed, to put it bluntly.

6:58 pm
