sorry to hear about the pain. It is so awful when your muscles need the exercise but your bones won't let you. I know how that feels. Totally rotten.

4:28 am
grannyrose
ah well, can't complain...he IS doing all the cooking....( well mostly anyway )
4:28 am
sprite
Hehehe ikr! As long as you are in the warm water, all is relatively well. But once you give gravity a chance, it grabs you and makes everything hurt so bad. And then you still have to dry off and get dressed.
4:30 am
grannyrose
and as i took an endone yesterday, i am not wanting to take another today. did i tell you about the the panadeine forte and oxycodone conversions?
4:30 am
sprite
so close to sissies
4:31 am
grannyrose
*giggle* change the first vowel
4:31 am
sprite
yes you did, and how the oxycodone is actually lower in morphine conversion. And indeed, no, you should not take it too soon after the last one, or you will creep back to dependency. *soft healing vibes to your sore bones*
4:32 am
sprite
thanks! *puts one foot in PB*
4:32 am
grannyrose
thanx my darling...yeah i know....bed time so4. * sigh * i sooo love my bed.
4:33 am

4:34 am
grannyrose
exactly....unless himself starts his nocturnal opus...
4:34 am
sprite
ah... the reason Rob and I sleep apart. We both snore so horribly. Keeping eachother awake. Not a good thing.
4:36 am
grannyrose

4:38 am

4:57 am
sprite

4:57 am

4:57 am
sprite

4:58 am
Kallia

4:58 am
crosshair
I am forever the optimist-- the alternative is to just walk off a bridge;)
4:58 am
Kallia
I hope that is.....optimist I may be....we shall see
4:59 am
grannyrose
kallia, are the garage paying your insurance?
4:59 am

5:21 am
Scrabbler
Remy was running around here a few minutes ago and he is eating his salad now. He will come back. He jumps on the couch, hops on the back, sneaks behind me, and then taps my shoulder with a paw. That is how he gets my attention so I pet him. So sweet.
5:21 am

Exhausted - hot and humid here - drains all the energy.
5:21 am

It's called The Massey Murder, about a true story that took place in Toronto in 1913. I had never heard the story before. I have started it and it is very well written. The member of a famous family (yes, related to Raymond Massey) was murdered by his 18 year old maid.

penquis
did you use the right ol 7?.....not the "person who", the other one....
10:01 am
mkg
dont have other one. sorry
10:02 am
penquis
the other one is the plural ol word, not the "one who"....
10:02 am
mkg
one is the study and the other is the person. i used the study one. and added three letters on, first three.
10:02 am
penquis
is your study one ol 7, a plural?
10:02 am
mkg
so after the plural one i add the 3 letters, but the N is not near that ending so i think i am not right.
10:02 am
penquis
BEFORE the ol one...
10:03 am
penquis
sorry, was not shouting, just emphasizing... ;o)

I can understand loving to bake Christmas cookies, but there is a limit.
10:50 am

one of the advantages of not having company and no plans to go anywhere is that I don't have to cook or bake. The kids will come after Christmas if everyone is healthy (not too likely with a 4 year old and 2 x2 year olds). I just can't afford to get a cold or the flu for the next 3 weeks and risk having my surgery bumped.
10:51 am

will provide recipes. jan hagels are easy, they are baked in a pan then cut into diamonds afterwards.

Actually, the US version of what you leave for Santa is milk and cookies, here in UK it's more likely to be sherry and sausage rolls (or whatever tipple Dad likes). LOL

no cutting, dropping or rolling. i think also chocolate crinkles, but trying to figure out how to make them as lemn crinckles. i love lemon in pastry.

I love lemon in pastry, too, TO, and often put it in the pastry for my mince pies. I also drop a small ball of marzipan (almond paste) into the base under the mincemeat. However, they don't keep well in a tin unless you line it with baking parchment or some kind of greaseproof paper. The lemon reacts with the metal otherwise.

I'm not going mad with baking this Christmas. Not really due to my dietary restrictions but more due to lack of time due to having 3 kittens to run about after 24/7, trying to stop them either destroying the house or themselves. :)

Re putting up a Christmas tree with kittens/young cats in the house. My daughter's best friend has a kitten a bit older than my three and he bit through the wire for the lights on her tree before she'd even had chance to plug it in. (Luckily for him!) Admittedly, he is part Bengal and they are known to be destructive.

Looking at the ear tufts on m 2 gingers and the tortoiseshell, and knowing that their mother was a 'tall Tortie', I think they have Maine Coone somewhere in their chequered pedigree.
