Congrats Diz and hi :)

2:58 am

grannyrose

g'day liz. how was your day, hun? xox

2:59 am

Lizlin

HI and hugs Rose. Good day but quiet - Bill Bailey was fantastic last night. Going out to friends for dinner in 5 mins!!! Phew! Take a breath!!!

2:59 am

Lizlin

How's your day been?

2:59 am

grannyrose

enjoy, my dear. you deserve it.

3:00 am

grannyrose

physio, and a start on the washing. otherwise quiet here too.

3:00 am

Lizlin

That's such a lovely thing to say!!! You deserve some good stuff!!!!

3:01 am

Lizlin

Thank goodness the holiday season ends this week - back to normality next week!!

3:01 am

grannyrose

*giggle* my turn will come soon

3:01 am

Lizlin

Have the pains lessened today?

3:02 am

Lizlin

Did you talk to the physio about them?

3:02 am

grannyrose

yes, thanx hun. managing on just the usual meds.

3:02 am

Lizlin

3 to go!!!

3:02 am

grannyrose

yes, and she suggests i start some very gentle exercises in the house.

3:03 am

Lizlin

Little clue for ca 7/36 pls?

3:03 am

Lizlin

Sounds like a good idea - as long as you don't overdo it.

3:03 am

grannyrose

ca7, ca*, a tin of food + what you get in the bodywork of your car

3:04 am

Lizlin

Well the first part's straightforward!

3:04 am

Lizlin

Thanks, got it!

3:04 am

Lizlin

Now for the final 2 ms - a 6 and a 7

3:04 am

grannyrose

you know, where the bodywork is pushed in by accident

3:05 am

grannyrose

oh...yay you liz

3:05 am

Lizlin

First ma 7 pls?

3:05 am

grannyrose

do you have ma7, mother of jesus

3:06 am

Lizlin

No I didn't have that - would

3:06 am

Lizlin

would've thought it was a name.

3:06 am

Lizlin

and finally ma 6/21 - after the place a vicar lives.

3:07 am

grannyrose

and i bet the ma6 is missing. not a female + first 3 letters of another word for exam

3:08 am

Lizlin

Thanks - that's fireworks! Can go out and enjoy the evening! And help at the synagogue tomorrow morning without wanting to rush back to the grid!!!!

3:08 am

Lizlin

Time to finish getting ready to go out. Hugs to you and to sprite, when you see her and thanks again for all the help. Back to regular chat mode soon!!!!

3:10 am

grannyrose

WTG LIZLIN!!! i really do hope you have a lovely night

3:11 am

sprite

good morning all

3:12 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} my darling sprite. how was your day yesterday, and how was your night? liz sends hugs to you.

3:14 am

sprite

aw just missed her! *hugs Liz*
and a big *hug* for you, rose. I had an ok day and I slept reasonably well. Woke up with a sleeping leg in the middle of the night. New meds, yay.

3:15 am

grannyrose

oh wonderful news, sprite. i am so pleased.

3:16 am

grannyrose

finally, a break-through. i can't express how glad i am for you.

3:17 am

sprite

really? Lol. Let's try this again, grin... I'd prefer nights where I DON'T wake up in the middle because my leg all went numb.

3:18 am

grannyrose

well it means you were so deeply asleep that you weren't moving. and that is a good thing....we just have to set you into the right position so the leg doesn't go to sleep.

3:19 am

grannyrose

how were you lying when you woke up?

3:20 am

sprite

well, not really, I am afraid. I used to take 3x600mg gabapentine, and now 2x75 lyrica. Must build up slowly until it works. Right now, I have pain allover and weird nerve stuff in my legs and feet.

3:20 am

sprite

flat on my back

3:20 am

grannyrose

hmmmm, how many magnesium are you taking again?

3:21 am

sprite

3 in the evening, one in the morning.

3:22 am

grannyrose

flat on your back. sounds like pressure on the sacral nerves. can you sleep with a pillow under your knees? to take the pressure of the lower spine.

3:22 am

grannyrose

ugh * off*

3:23 am

sprite

I usually sleep on my side and I turn around a lot during the night. Guess my body kind of panicked and tried the flat back, lol. Not a success.

3:23 am

grannyrose

that's enough magnesium for a routine...nah i don't think we need to fix that, it ain't broken.

3:24 am

sprite

hehehe I agree. We will wait out the starting phase of the new meds. In a few days, I can up the dosage. We will see.

3:25 am

grannyrose

only one lyrica played up with me. it appears i cannot take calcium-channel blockers in any form.

3:25 am

sprite

am sorry, rose :(
So far it looks like I can take them. No swollen feet, not even crazy dizziness.

3:27 am

grannyrose

lucky you, sprite. i am managing just fine on the old aldactone. ankles only very slightly swollen, and that is late in the day.

3:28 am

sprite

yeah I will count my blessings.

3:28 am

grannyrose

are you still using the compression socks? do you need more, hun? and don't say 'no' just because.

3:30 am

sprite

I use them whenever I have to be on my feet for a major part of the day, or when my feet are swollen in the morning. I am perfectly fine with 2 pair :) Thanks, my dear friend *hugs*

3:30 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and xxxxxx

3:36 am

grannyrose

oh, and sprite. i found some high-density cushions at my supermarket, which under the seat cushion for the armchair, elevates the seat to a height which i can easily get up and down from. and the sitting doesn't hurt my hips or lower back.

3:37 am

sprite

oh that is wonderful news, rose. Am so glad

3:38 am

grannyrose

a lot cheaper than the ones we saw on ebay too. about a third the price, and no postage....lol

3:39 am

sprite

hehehe that is always a bonus

3:48 am

sprite

ugh, one wrong move and now my whole back is hurting. Can I turn in this body and order a new one?

3:49 am

grannyrose

poor you....would a heat pack help? is it spasms?

3:50 am

sprite

yes. Spasms and then tensing up until the whole back is hard as a plank. A heat pack would help, I think, but we don't have one, lol. When I can get up again, I'll try a hotwater bottle (the rubber version of it, don't know the english word)

3:52 am

grannyrose

we use rubber hot=-water bottles too. the moist heat is good. i empathise my darling...i can feel the pain. *gentle hugs*

3:53 am

sprite

thanks rose :) *hugs* right back and it will settle. In the end, it always does.

3:53 am

grannyrose

at the moment the only heat i can endure is warm water. physio suggested the adhesive heat packs...the problem is i cannot stand the contact on my skin.

3:54 am

sprite

oh, same for me. When I remove such a pack, my skin comes along.

4:00 am

skatt

hello all

4:00 am

grannyrose

interesting....jamie oliver, the tv chef, is the same age as my eldest son....who by the way was supposed to become a daddy 2 days ago...i haven't heard anything. * sigh *

4:00 am

grannyrose

g'day skatt

4:00 am

sprite

but my physical therapist had a huge clay pack, between layers of plastic. It went over my clothes, and it was perfect. Such deep good heat.

4:00 am

sprite

hello skatt

4:01 am

sprite

aw rose :( Such sadness. Stupid guy.

4:02 am

grannyrose

that reminds me of the kaolin poultices we used during my training...probably the same principle.

4:04 am

grannyrose

we had to use old cotton calico material, spread the kaolin paste on one, lay another over the top, then heat it in hot water before applying to our patients.

4:04 am

sprite

yes I think that is the same principle. This stuff, they heat in hot water, then put between sheets of plastic, then apply.

4:05 am

grannyrose

roflol...i wonder if it is the same stuff. it has been around for over 50 years.

4:07 am

sprite

no idea. It looks different from the pictures I just googled, but who knows.

4:08 am

grannyrose

i should hope so....and i really am LOL...to think something as old as kaolin paste is still around...

4:09 am

rubyfoo

good morning. Isody here? I never know what time it is....

4:10 am

sprite

I don't know any Isody. Hi ruby.

4:10 am

rubyfoo

aah, maye. Is anybody*, btw

4:10 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} my darling ruby

4:10 am

sprite

yeah well, rose, why change something that works well, lol.

4:10 am

rubyfoo

Isody, sort of a portmanteau name!

4:10 am

rubyfoo

Isody, sort of a portmanteau name!

4:10 am

4:10 am

rubyfoo

4:11 am

grannyrose

it's your lucky day, ruby. sprite and rose in one hit...brace yourself girl

4:11 am

sprite

don't hit, don't hit

4:12 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, bracing myself for hugs (I hope)

4:12 am

sprite

*careful hug*

4:12 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}}, {{hugs}}....but gentle ones.

4:12 am

rubyfoo

Just started the daunting task of cutting off Raffie's knots of fur I gave her a doggie sedative and then the housekeeper held her. I cut about 1/3 but she already looks better

4:13 am

sprite

ah good, ruby

4:13 am

rubyfoo

It's funny because Rufie, who has relatively short hair lets me comb him as much as I want but Raffie, who has long =, soft fur, hates to be combed

4:15 am

sprite

maybe it hurts her

4:16 am

grannyrose

dinner ready...catch you later...xoxox

4:16 am

rubyfoo

no, I'm really gentle. She just doesn't like that much contact unless she initiates a cuddle. I think it's bcause they did eye surgery before she came here

4:16 am

rubyfoo

bye rosie

4:16 am

sprite

bye rose, enjoy *hugs*

4:18 am

sprite

fireflies. Have to go, sorry ruby. *hugs* for you and I hope you have a lovely day.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

bye sweetie

4:30 am

grannyrose

4:30 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!! i hope your day is kind to you.

4:31 am

6:35 am

Owls are the only birds that can see the color blue.

6:36 am

car.eeyore

Really?

6:36 am

crosshair

yup:)

6:36 am

car.eeyore

how strange

6:36 am

crosshair

make finding blueberries easier I would imagine:)

6:36 am

car.eeyore

But all those tropical birds with their colors and their dances...the mates can't see the blue?

6:36 am

car.eeyore

Bummer

6:37 am

crosshair

nope. All that vibrant plumage for naught:(

6:38 am

rubyfoo

and dogs see only shades of grey!

6:38 am

6:38 am

rubyfoo

hello {{crossy and car.}}

6:38 am

rubyfoo

can baboons see red? lol

6:39 am

car.eeyore

I just found that out recently, Ruby, when we got Archer. Never knew that. I think it filters out distractions for their senses.

6:39 am

car.eeyore

LOL

6:39 am

car.eeyore

God, I hope so...otherwise God has a twisted sense of humor!

6:39 am

rubyfoo

It's funny because they make dog toys in brilliant colors; I guess it keeps the Chinese busy

6:40 am

car.eeyore

Those color are so we can find them when the dogs hide them

6:40 am

car.eeyore

:)

6:40 am

car.eeyore

OK...the lady with the kennel next door... has a yappy dog out there since 7:00 AM. Really? How an5ing is that?

6:41 am

rubyfoo

In my next life I want to design dog toys most of which would look like socks or underpants, which seem to be what my dogs favor lol

6:41 am

rubyfoo

Raffie grabs whatever she can and runs out into the garden. She is a hoot!

6:41 am

car.eeyore

that makes sense to me, but trainers advise against it as the dog would not be able to tell the difference between which were toys and which were the genuine articles.

6:41 am

crosshair

((ruby)) just off making a cuppa..

6:42 am

rubyfoo

We pay a lot for dog toys which only interest the dogs for a little while; they seem to prefer anything else

6:44 am

rubyfoo

do you know the dog IQ test? You put his favorite treat under a piece of cloth, showing him the process all along, and wait for him to remove the cloth. Only one of our 7 chows has passed but it is always good for a big laugh.

6:45 am

car.eeyore

Archer loves to play that!

6:46 am

rubyfoo

does he pass? He must bea genius! lol

6:46 am

car.eeyore

Yup

6:46 am

car.eeyore

does anyone have AN 6/18 yet?

6:49 am

car.eeyore

Time to poke the sleeping bear...brb...

6:50 am

rubyfoo

bye car.

6:52 am

MollyL

an6/18...an + anagram of bird home

6:55 am

rubyfoo

hello molly and I keep try it.....no luck

6:55 am

MollyL

Flip the first two letters of bird home

6:56 am

rubyfoo

tht only took a dozen tries. ty

6:56 am

Ah, like the little ant and the rubber tree plant

Nigeria must be a wonderful country indeed. Every time I open my junk mail I seem to have people wanting to send me millions-- provided I share all my banking information lol

7:12 am

crosshair

although ministry officials in charge of large sums of money seem to have a short life span over there...

7:21 am

MimiCat

Eventful night here. About 12:30 I was awakened by loud voices and a child crying. There was a couple I had never seen before sitting on the steps of my bldg. with a child dressed in a party dress. Called police, they came and took them away. Shortly after, a fire truck showed up in the parking lot. I'm SOOO tired of apt. living. Getting a house next year one way or another!

7:26 am

jaxx7

Mimi, I hate to disillusion you but we live in a house in a cul-de-sac and we have had police looking for drugs, people threatening others with guns and escaped prisoners being pursued by helicopter plus some pervert who was nicking knickers off washing lines who was also trying to evade capture by the police in a helicopter. All this in the last year in a 12,000 population small Devon town.

7:27 am

MimiCat

Whoa, jaxx. I've lived in my own houses for most of the last 30 years and have had some incidents, of course, but nothing like that. Time to move to a different locale?

7:29 am

jaxx7

Can't afford to, it is as simple as that. Life is never dull, though, as there are a lot of domestics as well

7:31 am

jaxx7

Even had a dad who tried to kidnap his daughter in the house next door. Police, dogs and a lot of noise. He failed but was out on licence so is now back in jail with a longer sentence.

7:31 am

MimiCat

Awful. I'm planning to move up into the mountains next year to a much smaller town than Phoenix and be more out in the country. Just want peace. Will be looking for a place with some land around it and a mountain view. Planning to make this the last time I move in this life!

7:32 am

MimiCat

Of course, you know the saying....Man plans, God laughs.

7:32 am

jaxx7

it didn't used to be like this but society, even in semi rural Devon, has changed dramatically.

7:33 am

jaxx7

I will keep my fingers crossed that you find your rural idyll, Mimi and that the Big G looks the other way!

7:33 am

MimiCat

The good thing here is that everyone in my building has been here for awhile and we all know each other, so if someone shows up looking suspicious, we know about it and everyone is on the lookout for everyone else. I wasn't the only one that called the police.

7:34 am

crosshair

((mimi))

7:34 am

MimiCat

Of course, when I do get a house, will be getting at least one German Shepherd and a security system!

7:34 am

MimiCat

((crossy))

7:35 am

jaxx7

Hi and bye, crossy. Bye mimi too. keep dreaming.

7:35 am

MimiCat

So tired from lack of sleep....going to be a LONG day...lots of work to do.

7:35 am

crosshair

why did the man and woman and child in a party dress prompt you to call the police?

7:35 am

MimiCat

Bye, jaxx...take care and don't let the idiots get you down.

7:36 am

MimiCat

I was 12:30 at night and they were sitting on the steps of my building talking loudly with the child crying...woke me up. When I looked out, I knew they didn't live here.

7:36 am

MimiCat

It was...

7:37 am

MimiCat

They were also drunk and breaking things on the walkway.

7:38 am

crosshair

ahh. got it. Now it is clearer

7:38 am

MimiCat

Then when the police took (or chased) them away, a fire truck showed up...crazy.

7:39 am

crosshair

They built our new fire dept. two block down our street. We get the joy of hearing their sirens wailing at full volume as they pass...5 times a sday

7:40 am

MimiCat

Oh, NO!!!! And in such an idyllic location! I'd be SO angry.

7:41 am

crosshair

it is for the common good and I am sure we shall get used to it. At least we have a nice new department with new equipment. I try to think on the bright side

7:42 am

rururocks

Sounds like you got hosed crossy

7:42 am

crosshair

lol,ruru

7:42 am

MimiCat

I hear the sirens all the time here, too, but I'm in a more populated suburban area close to a busy intersection.

7:42 am

MimiCat

((ruru))....groan.

7:42 am

crosshair

Perhaps, but my insurance went down. I have have a dozen firefighers and two trucks here in less than three minutes:)

7:43 am

MimiCat

Let's all move in with ruru...Napa is so peaceful.

7:43 am

crosshair

all those screaming grapes?... no thank you:)

7:43 am

rururocks

Given the choices crossy probably prefers the former to tge ladder

7:44 am

crosshair

and earthquakes:( it would mess up my etch-a-sketch collection;))

7:44 am

rururocks

Makes making martinis easy though crossy

7:45 am

He never does but just had to go to the closest bank, 5 minutes away, but that is the last time!

1:05 pm

He hit his head and there was a lot of blood because he takes aspirin, but he never lost consciousness and was totally lucid

4:43 pm

zoozzoom

We are supposed to be getting warmer weather for a short period over the weekend but with high winds and rain to go with it..lol

4:44 pm

ChrissieDee

It has been a mild autumn up to now though

4:45 pm

zoozzoom

And may that continue into winter!

4:45 pm

bichon

We haven't quite had a frost yet. This would be Indian Summer if we had had one

4:45 pm

ChrissieDee

Hear hear!

4:46 pm

Jillyjill

We had two frost and now Indian Summer.

4:47 pm

Jillyjill

*frosts

4:47 pm

bichon

I bet you have Jilly

4:48 pm

Jillyjill

Actually not nearly as many as we usually have by now

4:49 pm

bichon

Climate change. At least we've had more rain this month than last. I think we got less than an inch in Sep., not very typical

4:49 pm

zoozzoom

I see so it is not classed as an indian summer unless there has been a frost?

4:50 pm

bichon

Yup. Might even have one in Nov. Can never tell

4:50 pm

zoozzoom

Ahh thank you.Did not know that.

4:50 pm

Jillyjill

We need more moisture...however holding my breath as it could change to snow any day now..LOL

4:51 pm

bichon

I think Indian summer is a term coined in the US

4:51 pm

ChrissieDee

I didn't know that either. Never too old to learn. Lol

4:51 pm

bichon

I don't know its origins though

4:52 pm

hpb

It's actually a racist term: "indian" was used to mean false or misleading: indian giver, indian summer, etc.

4:53 pm

Jillyjill

http://tinyurl.com/kw8h37

4:53 pm

zoozzoom

Oh well I never meant it in those terms.But interesting none the less.Thank you, Hpb.

hi all

5:44 pm

jmcnrick

nbt!

5:46 pm

jmcnrick

grrrr lo** is a noun; lend is a verb. . . no such thing as lo6/21

5:47 pm

doseffing

since when is lo** not a verb? I lended my car to my kid? I don't think so.

5:48 pm

jmcnrick

I lent my car to my kid. . .

5:48 pm

Jillyjill

Hello jmc...haven't seen you in forever!!

5:48 pm

jmcnrick

the lo6/21 is a modern screwing with the english language and my mother's pet peeve

5:50 pm

jmcnrick

hey jilly. . . .i am around from time to time

5:51 pm

jmcnrick

just not often or long. . . too tired trying to make a living AND save the world. . . when they were combined it was much more convenient. .. .

5:53 pm

doseffing

... checked an old OED(1960) ... and ... lo** was just fine ... although it was used chiefly in the US ... it also mentioned lent and I couldn't tell much of a difference

5:53 pm

jmcnrick

whoo hoo i greyed the top O. . .

5:54 pm

jmcnrick

what can i say dose. . . my mother was adamant! haha. she constantly said: lo** is a noun; lend is a verb. . .

5:54 pm

jmcnrick

i feel i have to stand up for my mother!

5:54 pm

jmcnrick

:-D

5:55 pm

jmcnrick

and yes using lo** as a verb began sometime in the 1950s. . . mother was old school. . . haha

5:55 pm

doseffing

... yeah ... I'll bet it starts with "I made a lo** of something to someone" ... and then gets converted to a verb as well

5:56 pm

Jillyjill

Well, despite great company, I must be off to make supper. Indian style Red Curry for dinner...76 left..hagd all! Nice to see you jmc!

*poof*

5:56 pm

jmcnrick

yum. . . make some for me too jilly. . . bye

5:56 pm

doseffing

... I forgot ... both of our mothers were old school in the 1950s

5:57 pm

jmcnrick

probably dose. . . she would also wax eloquently on about dive and dove and hung and hanged. . . .

5:57 pm

jmcnrick

yes i think we are similar ages dose. . .

5:58 pm

jmcnrick

how are you doing these days? things going well?

5:59 pm

doseffing

... oh sure ... older kid followed your example and got into political lobbying (for arts funding) before going to grad school for "urban studies"

5:59 pm

doseffing

... that's supposed to be ok sure

6:00 pm

jmcnrick

good for kid1. . .

6:00 pm

jmcnrick

my kid is still finding himself. ..

6:03 pm

doseffing

... hey ... she talked Rob Ford (of illrepute) out of 3 million bucks from the city budget and she's on the political hot seat for not allowing one of the fringe mayoral candidates to take part in the debate her committee was in charge of sponsoring ... fortunately one of the candidates made a stupid racial comment and my kid got dropped from the news

6:07 pm

doseffing

... oh well ... gotta go ... dinner must be served ... luck to all

6:08 pm

jmcnrick

haha sounds grand. . . bye dose. . . nice chatting

7:53 pm

Minveryork

Hello Trifioso!How are you doing today? Welcome to grid

7:54 pm

Trifioso

big mom fail for me today - I get out of school a half an hour before Tertiare, and, since it was such a nice day, decided to make a healthy choice for once. Drove to her school, parked, put on my lovely bright green sneakers and decided to walk the track for a half an hour. Guess who was having gym class in the center field? She about DIED on the spot.TOTAL mom fail....

7:55 pm

Jillyjill

LOVE IT!! Epic mom!!

7:56 pm

Jillyjill

Hope you waved at her...*evil laugh*

7:56 pm

Trifioso

I was promptly told I was never, ever to do it again. Ever. At least until she graduates

7:56 pm

Trifioso

for the record jilly, SHE spoke to me first!

7:56 pm

Jillyjill

Booyah!

7:56 pm

MollyL

Never a good idea to use the high school track when your kid is still in school.

7:59 pm

Trifioso

live and learn molly, live and learn

7:59 pm

Jillyjill

With teens, what doesn't kill them makes them stronger...

8:00 pm

MollyL

Imagining the gym class conversation..."Hey, isn't that your Mom in the bright green sneakers?"

8:00 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

8:01 pm

MollyL

Imagines Daughter of Trif wishing she could sink into the ground.

8:02 pm

Dorens

like green sneakers and ham?

8:02 pm

Trifioso

I imagine it was more along the lines of "dear god. please make my mom disappear RIGHT NOW"

8:10 pm

rururocks

mom fail?

8:10 pm

Jillyjill

Was it a quiet ride home?

8:11 pm

rururocks

super quiet I'd bet

8:13 pm

MollyL

I think there needs to be a stronger term than "mom fail" for Mom walking the high school track in bright green sneakers while her kid is in gym class mid-field.

8:13 pm

Jillyjill

the oft used...Epic Fail

8:14 pm

Minveryork

Hello rururocks! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

I can't follow that penquis

10:52 pm

the more you play.. the more desperate you get at putting in words that make no sense whatsoever and sometimes they work and enable accepts them instead of real words that are allowed in other dictionaries
