Dunno yet what they will do about the stones. It's complicated because one of the medications he's on prevents blood vessels from forming, which makes things very tricky.

3:50 am

I find out Thursday about the newest skin weirdness hopefully it is nothing but it has me a bit concerned.
3:50 am
grannyrose
in the pool this afterno4....physio kept a close eye on me. she says she will start pushing me just a little next week.
3:50 am
sprite
fingers crossed here, mel. Of course you are concerned. I hope the news is the best it can be. *hugs*
3:50 am
sprite
sounds good, rose! How are you feeling?
3:51 am
grannyrose
i started the day with a ferocious pain in my left hip. it burned terribly. physio thinks the osteoarthritis is advancing very quickly.
3:51 am
meliae
Well I have 3 uncommon skin diseases can a person possibly have 4? Lol
3:51 am
sprite
oh rose, that sucks :( Am so sorry. Hip pain is awful.
3:51 am
grannyrose
i feel good now, sprite.
3:51 am
meliae
Oh no granny the pool didn't help?
3:52 am
sprite
mel, maybe, but not a record worth aiming for, lol
3:52 am
grannyrose
mel....poor you, sweetie.
3:53 am

tomorrow is a day off for both of us...going to take full advantage of it...* watch out don *
3:53 am

hide, don, she will be jumping your bones!
3:53 am
grannyrose
mel, i am thinking i need some new x-rays to determine what is happening.
3:54 am
grannyrose
sprite, from your lips....
3:54 am
sprite
don't listen, God, rose is being naughty again
3:55 am

ugh, all those -uck, -ack and -ock phantoms!

He is laughing at me, rose. He says: I made her this way. Who are you kidding?
3:59 am
grannyrose
sprite, we have booked our little holiday of 6 days now, for the last week of november. we are looking forward to it very much.
3:59 am
sprite
I hope it will bring you guys all the relaxation you deserve. I think it is brilliant. Will you be able to babble?
4:01 am
meliae
Crud I cannot read this word but it is something like this, not**** ****thetica Damn doctors hand writing, the LS which you know about and, post inflammatory hyperpigmentation
4:01 am
grannyrose
yes, wifi at all three places we are staying at. the last place has a spa available for guests.
4:01 am
meliae
Oooh very nice Granny
4:02 am
sprite
awesome, rose. You deserve it.
4:02 am
grannyrose
i am hoping it will inspire don to build the separate deck for our own hot tub.
4:03 am
sprite
sounds like more than enough to me, mel. No need for a 4th one!
4:04 am
meliae
I know the first diagnosis means where most people feel pain I itch and break out, which makes the LS flare up, which in turn makes the hyper crud lol
4:04 am
meliae
Oh that would be so nice for you Granny
4:05 am
grannyrose
*gently holds mel* you poor sweetie....not nice at all.
4:06 am
meliae
Well I look at it this way it could be worse I have my eyesight my hearing my brain and hearing so all is good!
4:06 am
grannyrose
i am thinking of doing a dry run in our lovely slipper bath to see if i can get in and out. a lovely long soak in warm water would be so nice.
4:07 am
meliae
Toss in some bath salts, light a few candles, and have a cup of tea!
4:07 am
sprite
and some very soft classical music in the background
4:08 am
grannyrose
you gals are on my wave-length...lol
4:09 am
meliae
Yes music for sure and a few sweets to nibble on, oh and don't forget a book!
4:09 am
grannyrose
can my sweets be don?
4:10 am
meliae
Rofl sure why not
4:10 am
sprite
rose, place a broom nearby. You can use the stick to get up in the bath (lie it over the rims and let don anchor it) until you sit. and then put it upright and use it to get to standing.
4:11 am
grannyrose
don has installed a hand-rail on the wall beside the bath
4:11 am
sprite
oh well, ok, lol.... much better, that.
4:12 am
sprite
in that case, forget the dry run. Make sure you have reaped the benefits before you try to get out. In case of absolute panic, you can pull the plug, let don wrap you in a huge towel and then proceed to leave the tub.
4:13 am
grannyrose
oh, dear!! don is in the kitchen talking to the sausages in the grill...houston?? do i have a problem?
4:14 am
sprite
not yet. But when they start to talk back, you better run!
4:15 am
grannyrose
does the fact they are PORK sausages mean anything?
4:15 am
sprite
it means don is achin' for your bacon

4:21 am
meliae
Figures it is a medical term
4:21 am

Yep same here just tired tonight

i'm afraid it is, ruby. i think you had better start making plans on how to handle this right now, dear.
6:14 am
grannyrose
start by listing the areas where you thinkl you are going to need help, and the areas where you think you can cope on your own.
6:14 am
rubyfoo
one of the main problems is his lack of language skill coupled with his bad hearing. He was terrified at the hospital until I got there, so you can imagine
6:16 am
evanonut
sorry, missed my greeting, working and all, g'day folksies

Morning, all! I must disagree with you, Trif...I loved Darby O'Gill as a child and used to go to sleep imagining those little people living in my dollhouse and me finding all kinds of things for them to use to decorate it.
7:14 am

Hi Mimi!

Yeah Mimi, it was a movie made for kids. Not supposed to be an accurate portrayal of Irish life by any means.

I always had a vivid imagination and even now I can get into fantasy easily. When I'm at Disneyland I really believe I'm in a haunted house. It was fun for my kids that their mom was kind of a goof that way.

Good to see you partially, tho

9:13 am
hego
Time for a decent burial, then.
9:14 am
Aloyisius
yes.. but first I need to save some stuff
9:14 am
Aloyisius
Since it was closest to the printer, i did a lot of things on it
9:19 am
Aloyisius
maybe a little bell should ring when you darken a box so that you have both a reward and a reminder to move on to some other letter
9:23 am
hego
must go. Later...
9:26 am
Aloyisius
..waves bye to hego
9:26 am
MollyL
Aloy, if you have someone that can do it for you, you can just save the hard drive from the old computer and make it an external hard drive for your new one. That will eliminate having to save anything.
9:28 am
Aloyisius
hi Molly.. (went for a cuppa refill).. thanks for the suggestion
9:29 am
MollyL
Also, if you start saving things to a cloud drive they will be available to you from any computer.
9:30 am
Aloyisius
wonder how much that would cost.. we have two of those "WD" things that back up your computer.. need to work on that soon
9:30 am
zoozzoom
that is what I do, Molly.Does give a peace of mind knowing all my photos & music etc is backed up.
9:30 am
MollyL
Amazon offers a certain amount of free cloud drive space.
9:30 am
Aloyisius
problem is.. how do I get to the cloud if I can't get on the internet?
9:31 am
MollyL
You can't get to a cloud drive without the internet.
9:31 am
Aloyisius
technician said the computer is so old that he wouldn't spend the money on it.. I do have a bunch of flash drives I could use to selectively save some documents
9:33 am
zoozzoom
Like, molly, said if you can get the hard drive out nad have it as an additional one.Then when you connect to the internet with your new one you will be able to back that extra hard drive to the cloud too!
9:33 am
Aloyisius
ahh, I see now - thanks!
9:33 am
MollyL
The external hard drive is the best way to save what is on your old computer.
9:35 am
Aloyisius
ok.. now here is a question that shows how little I know.. I can use the WD without the internet?
9:35 am
Aloyisius
(WD smartware)
9:35 am
MollyL
What is WD?
9:36 am
MollyL
Oh, you are speaking MAC language, you have lost me.
9:36 am
Aloyisius
Western Digital.. a black box that you back stuff up on
9:36 am
Aloyisius
no.. PC
9:37 am

Sorry, never heard of it.

9:49 am
Aloyisius

9:49 am
rubyfoo
They are so much better than what is available in the stores (and much cheaper lol)
9:50 am
rubyfoo
They only sell the black ones and they tend to be overripe but not tasty
9:50 am
Aloyisius
am not a fig expert.. what kind do you have?
9:51 am
Aloyisius
caving to the list at 23, and I see 119 on the list, h'mmm

BTW, my local police are the best! They spent 2 1/2 hrs locating the "lost" car
9:56 am
Aloyisius
where did they find it?
9:57 am
rubyfoo
uh oh, I can smell the sweet potatoes, probably a bad sign
9:57 am
rubyfoo

3:32 pm
mattygroves
Hello Mo! Nice to see you :) I'm only 55 words in - tough grid. Would you like to tell me something about the tr 8 and 9? :D
3:34 pm

I can try and give a clue ... just give me a second...
3:34 pm

3:39 pm
lexophile
I would sure appreciate clues for the tr 8/9 combo
3:39 pm
mo
matty you are so clever ... sorry I was of no help.
3:39 pm
mattygroves
Um... like tr4 (take a journey) but change the vowel - then not off, then not out?
3:40 pm
mattygroves
I am not clever - just lucky today
3:40 pm
lexophile
Ha! just monkeyed it...
3:40 pm
lexophile
that rarely ever happens for me, either!
3:41 pm
mo
oooh!!! another clever one :-(
3:42 pm
mo
well done both of you.
3:42 pm
lexophile
nah, not really clever, just lucky that time... I have been babbling for 6 or 7 years and have finished less than 10 grids

I just love to find words!

I just love to find words!

Well, thanks. I shall end up getting stuck on some stupid one. Probably the seven (I'm rubbish at the longer ones, especially when they start with vowels)
3:43 pm
lexophile
sorry for the hiccup ;0)
3:43 pm
mattygroves
You know how to cure hiccups, according to two independently published papers, the authors of both won an igNobel prize...?

No, please enlighten me
3:44 pm

Could I have a clue for the po/7. I tried the shekels and it won't take it. Thanks.

3:45 pm
jaymil
That was shells
3:45 pm
mattygroves
OK Mo - how about the ha5/12 and, I assume the related 6 - I've been grid blind and monkeying that for ages, but too ashamed to ask
3:46 pm
jaymil
Never mind. Thanks
3:46 pm
mattygroves
Oh, and according to genuine medical papers, intractable hiccups can be relieved through the use of (and I'm not making this up) digital rectal massage)
3:47 pm
mo
ha5/12 .. sounds like the answer!!!
3:47 pm
mrloser
HA5/12 sounds like the state starting with a K and the pl.

4:14 pm
mattygroves
So the grid doesn't accept it? I don't have it in any case but that's odd
4:15 pm
zoozzoom
I will try again.
4:15 pm
MollyL
It's a pretty routine thing for Lickety to have a word that the grid will not accept

I think, Soodle has gone anyway.

Statuesque!
4:27 pm

I am three inches taller :-)
4:28 pm

You are taller when you get up than when you went to bed.

Women with great legs usually wear high heels to show them off.

Tina Turner has great legs :-)
4:36 pm

I think high heels were invented to torture women. I refuse to wear them
4:36 pm
bichon
my neighbor comes out in shorts and heels
4:36 pm
MollyL
I am guessing that the man formerly known as Mr. Soodle was a tall drink of water.
4:36 pm
72 Temple Owl
they were invented to makelegs look good. and make shorties taller!
4:37 pm
Soodle
Long of leg, Molly. Short of decency!
4:37 pm
MollyL
They are also horrible for your feet and constant wearing of them can cause long term foot problems.
4:37 pm
MollyL
Well yes Soodle, that was a given
4:40 pm
Soodle
Well, if you don't laugh, you cry. So, I laugh out loud!

how sad. I kept the grandkids I inherited when the parents split up. My son was mad but the kids, their mum and other grandmother were happy with my choice. He got over it.
6:16 pm
Bugsaw
It is is a great icon joym . Welcome
6:18 pm
joym999
thx bug. I have a 7 y o daughter, so I'm a long way from thinking about grandkids. I hear they're more fun than kids.
6:18 pm
Jillyjill
My son wasn't the dad. He was asked to take te boy as foster when he was removed from the mother, but he was in the Coast Guard and couldn't. I pray for that precious boy every day.
6:20 pm
Bugsaw
grandkids are WAY more fun because I don't take myself so seriously. As a parent I thought I had to teach them all the values I wantd them to have. Now I just reinforce those values. It is a lot less work and helps the parents get respect
6:21 pm
Bugsaw
plus, the best part is I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn when they do when they are little or worry about them being out late at night when they are older.
6:21 pm
Bugsaw
Jilly I sure hope that little guy found a good place to grow up. My fosters never left so we adopted them.
6:22 pm
joym999
I'm not looking forward to the teenage years -- like you say, worrying about them when they stay out late...yikes

I hope you're right, bug. My daughter is already very safety conscious, so I'm hoping for the best.
