4:07 am

worzel

We had a lovely Christmas period together. It was quite some wrench to have to go back to my "bachelor pad", all alone, but I stop here a couple nights a week and we have cuddles and the like. It's nice to try and woo somebody again, but it shouldn't have had to be like that, if I wasn't such a pranny in the first place!

4:08 am

grannyrose

go worzel. please give her my love and hugs.

4:09 am

4:13 am

grannyrose

well done zooz.

4:15 am

zoozzoom

So did you go anywhere nice when you went out today, Rose?

4:17 am

grannyrose

zooz, church first thing, then met up with youngest son, josh and his wife for lunch. then straight to brother's home, to celebrate niece's 3rd birthday.

4:18 am

zoozzoom

Aww hope she had a nice birthday. A full day you have had then.No wonder you are tired.

4:18 am

grannyrose

lunch was at a local tavern. i had grilled chicken breast with prawns in garlic cream sauce, over steamed rice, with chips and salad.

4:19 am

zoozzoom

And did you sit down for the church service?

4:19 am

zoozzoom

All nice except the prawns for me..lol

4:19 am

PMS

n url

4:19 am

grannyrose

zooz, it's just amazing to watch them all. my middle son was there with 2 of his kids, plus my other bros with spouses and kids.

4:20 am

zoozzoom

Got that one, PMS :-)

4:20 am

zoozzoom

I bet it was fun but noisy..lol

4:20 am

grannyrose

yes i sit down at church. the vicar has assured me God can hear me, even if i am sitting down....lol

4:20 am

zoozzoom

lol

4:23 am

grannyrose

don has bought me a chair wedge. it allows me to sit with a slightly altered posture which is more comfortable. i can now sit in the car without dissolving into tears because of the pain in my hips.

4:24 am

zoozzoom

So what position does it make you have then a more forward one?

4:26 am

zoozzoom

Just googled them so I know what they look like.

4:27 am

grannyrose

it lifts my butt so that the angle of my hips is less acute, and causes me sit with a straighter back. the wide edge of the wedge is at the back of the chair/seat.

4:29 am

zoozzoom

As log as it helps is all that matters.

4:29 am

zoozzoom

g*

4:30 am

zoozzoom

4:30 am

grannyrose

did worzel leave?? i didn't see him go.

4:30 am

zoozzoom

This ruddy laptop is crap..I actually saw the word long when i typed it yet it ownly showed up as g in the chog..mental!

4:30 am

zoozzoom

I am not sure, Rose.

4:31 am

grannyrose

zooz, i will probably need this for the rest of my life. if/when i have hip surgery, i will no longer be allowed to flex my hips past 90 degrees.

4:32 am

zoozzoom

Just looked at the who's online and he is still logged in.

4:32 am

zoozzoom

We all need types of aids as we get older, Rose.It is the way it goes.As long as it helps.

4:33 am

grannyrose

ugh....but i don't wanna get older....i'm a coward.

4:34 am

zoozzoom

I think most of us do not want to get old, Rose...lol But if there is nothing at all you can do about it..then let it go and try and enjoy the journey.

4:35 am

zoozzoom

Listen to me saying those things..with all my problems i have..lol

4:35 am

grannyrose

xoxox zooz, thanx for the encouragement, mate. as long as i have don by my side, i can't fail.

4:39 am

zoozzoom

Ha just come back from a toilet break and promptly found UR5/12 LOL

4:46 am

grannyrose

*giggle* now i wonder what prompted your memory like that....

4:51 am

zoozzoom

Okay I am off to see parents. Have a nice evening, Rose. Toodle pips for now.

4:54 am

grannyrose

enjoy, zooz, mate

5:36 am

Hugs, Rose. How are you today? Have you had a good day>

5:39 am

lbdawger

5:39 am

5:39 am

lbdawger

or I should say good evening.

5:39 am

Lizlin

Hi lbd

5:39 am

grannyrose

g'day lbd

5:39 am

lbdawger

Happy New Year!

5:40 am

Lizlin

Reasonably busy. Domestic stuff. Hubby altering our bed frame to fit the new mattress we bought yesterday.

5:40 am

Lizlin

Happy new year to you and yours, lbw.

5:40 am

grannyrose

Happy New Year, lbd.

5:40 am

Lizlin

What made your's so busy, Rose?

5:41 am

grannyrose

church, lunch with youngest son and wife, then a 3 year-old's birthday party. long day.

5:41 am

Lizlin

Claudia's b'day?

5:41 am

Lizlin

Lunch sounds lovely. Did you go somewhere nice?

5:42 am

grannyrose

grace's birthday...my niece. claudia is in april...

5:42 am

Lizlin

Ah! Couldn't remember how old Claudia was either - older than 3 I think.

5:43 am

grannyrose

we went to a local tavern. i had grilled chicken breast with prawns in a cream garlic sauce, rice, chips and salad.

5:43 am

Lizlin

But how lovely anyway.

5:43 am

Lizlin

Yum - sounds really indulgent.

5:43 am

grannyrose

claudia will be 5 this year, and deacon 7...where, oh, where have the years gone?

5:43 am

Lizlin

Anything with garlic is good in my opinion!

5:44 am

Lizlin

Wow! Time has flown.

5:44 am

Lizlin

Is Grace an only child or does she have sibs?

5:44 am

grannyrose

my son who is 33 is of the same generation as my niece. it is lovely to watch them all interact.

5:45 am

Lizlin

Amazing. Such an age difference in the generation but like you say, great to see the interactions.

5:45 am

grannyrose

grace is probably going to be an only...it took a lot of effort for her parents to conceive her...but she is an absolute doll.

5:46 am

Lizlin

Much adored, I'm sure.

5:46 am

Lizlin

My family is really small compared to yours!

5:46 am

grannyrose

so tr4, liz. a longed for child is invariably spoiled to the nth degree...lol...she is so....female...

5:47 am

Lizlin

That sounds like Claudia too! Another lover of ballet if you have anything to do with it.

5:48 am

grannyrose

liz, hin...start with 5 siblings....it adds up to a lot of people.

5:48 am

Lizlin

As you say - a good starting point!

5:48 am

Lizlin

Stuck with 10 words left.

5:48 am

grannyrose

* giggle* but one of the bro's has gone off the rails.

5:49 am

Lizlin

Likely to get back on again???

5:49 am

grannyrose

a thai woman has got her claws into him...we are quite worried for him.

5:50 am

Lizlin

Ah! Thai brides - though that usually comes from the perspective of lonely men.

5:50 am

grannyrose

he has bought her a new motorcycle, a very expensive watch and paid for her mother's treatment in a hospital. plus he is staying in an area which is very notorious.

5:51 am

Lizlin

Hmmmmmm! Can understand your worry - fleecing him.

5:52 am

Lizlin

Have 2 x ge 7 but wouldn't mind a hint or two for the other 2 7s, please.

5:52 am

grannyrose

all the other bro's and spouses are of the same opinion..as the matriarch of the clan....i may have to tell him to pull his horns in and keep it in his pants. not looking forward to that, i can assure you.

5:53 am

grannyrose

an7/32, and tr7/32

5:53 am

Lizlin

But in the end, as an adult, he'll do what he wants. If you're close to him, how would he respond to being told that.

5:54 am

Lizlin

A little bit more pls - I listed at about 15 left.

5:55 am

grannyrose

not sure, liz. like all my other bros, he knows how i have protected them all. hopefully he will listen to what i have to say, and accept that my concerns are ge7.

5:55 am

grannyrose

an7...an + 2 vowels + ***d, the outside of an orange

5:56 am

Lizlin

I really hope so - he should certainly know that you have his best interests at heart - but affairs of the heart and all that affect how you think.

5:56 am

Lizlin

Lovely clue. Thanks.

5:57 am

grannyrose

tr7, tu6, with the hook letter in second place.

5:57 am

hello sukee

6:24 am

lbdawger

hi/bye Sukee

6:24 am

sukee

Worried about my cat, he hasn't eaten since Friday and won't drink much.

6:24 am

rubyfoo

How old is he?

6:25 am

sukee

He is 16 and he has been on prednisone for intestinal problems.

6:25 am

rubyfoo

{{sukee}} it is very tough when our animals get old

6:26 am

sukee

Worried also since it's the weekend, I can't afford to take him to emergency care. I have to wait until tomorrow

6:26 am

sukee

I have been preparing myself for a couple of month but was so worried yesterday I couldn't even do any writing.

6:27 am

rubyfoo

will he eat special treats like plain tuna or morsels of boiled chicken? maybe a little milk or cream?

6:27 am

sukee

He won't eat anything.

6:28 am

rubyfoo

That is so sad.

6:28 am

crosshair

is he still popping and peeing?

6:28 am

crosshair

pooping?

6:28 am

sukee

I even went as far to check what I do if he dies in the apartment, the human society would come get him.

6:29 am

sukee

He did poop yesterday and peed a little this morning.

6:29 am

rubyfoo

6:29 am

sukee

Hi crossy.

6:29 am

crosshair

Go to store and get some of that nutritional suppliment kitty milk they sell in the teetra-packs

6:30 am

rubyfoo

What is his name?

6:30 am

crosshair

(9ruby))

6:30 am

sukee

Boo

6:32 am

crosshair

I find the supplement milk very handy when our cats are not well.

6:34 am

crosshair

because the cat will get dehydrated very quickly.

6:35 am

sukee

I have syringes for his medicine and I've been trying to get some water into him that way.

6:36 am

crosshair

Oh, yes, subdermal hydration is better if you know how to inject fluids just under the skin on the back tween the shoulder blades, but I leave that type of hydration for the vet

6:36 am

rubyfoo

I feel very sad for you sukee' I know how hard that must be

6:37 am

crosshair

But give the cat milk a try. Like you say, you can do nothing else till Monday anyways

6:39 am

crosshair

i believe friskies makes it. it is in a purple tetra-pack.

6:39 am

crosshair

cats can live on it alone at need

6:44 am

sukee

Trying to relax, my stress if probably making it worse.

6:47 am

o.k will shut up now:) I hope the vet can help come Monday

8:26 am

phaeton

8:26 am

Anniebrook

brent would fly but not in this grid...it is an acceptable word in Enable

8:26 am

crosshair

and now it is time for Crossy's quote of the day!!!

10:59 am

crosshair

"Yield to temptation; it may not pass your way again."-- Robert A. Heinlein.

10:59 am

jaxx7

Hi, Crossy. waiting for every erudite word.

11:01 am

jaxx7

Ah, someone else's erudite words

11:02 am

crosshair

I do have ones of my own, but I save those for special curcumstances

11:02 am

crosshair

For the most part they end up in my novel-in-=progress

11:02 am

jaxx7

and today is not a special circumstance?

11:03 am

crosshair

Nope, today is just another ordinary day:)

11:03 am

jaxx7

Ah, lots of erudite words under one cover.

11:04 am

crosshair

Remember, there are only seven original ideas--everything else is just plagiarism...

11:04 am

jaxx7

How goes the tome?

11:04 am

crosshair

Temporarily on the side track until i am done with Shakespeare:(

11:05 am

jaxx7

You can study the Bard for years, you know

11:05 am

crosshair

Stalled at 60,000 words:(

11:05 am

crosshair

I think a few more months and I will have had enough of The Bard.

11:06 am

jaxx7

is that Shakespeare's fault or just lack of inspiration?

11:06 am

crosshair

it is always his fault:)

11:07 am

crosshair

Actually it is Iago's fault. he is the perfect antagonist, so I shall blame it all on him.

11:07 am

jaxx7

You need to memorise some of his wisest words then you can quote him at opportune moments.

11:08 am

jaxx7

My old headmaster was very fond of 'assume a virtue if you have it not for use can change the stamp of nature'

11:08 am

crosshair

No, his quotes have been overdone. I look for the new and interesting or dusty and unnoticed and drag it into the light and dust off the cobwebs

11:09 am

jaxx7

Forgot the almost in front of change, sorry.

11:09 am

jaxx7

Must be 50 years since that rang out in school assembly.

11:09 am

crosshair

lol, I am what i am, I don no virtue just for the sake of fear of spiritual nudity;)

11:10 am

jaxx7

watch out, ru's about

11:11 am

jaxx7

The final word is enough to et him off punning

11:11 am

jaxx7

set even

11:12 am

crosshair

I wreath myself not in garments more suited for others, but instead wear my own natural plumage and those is view it can make of it what they will... hey, that is good:))

11:12 am

crosshair

those who*

11:13 am

jaxx7

Well, christmas is over and I am a year older and the New Year has started off with an appointment for the hospital. It looks as if 2015 is to be no kinder than 2014.

11:13 am

crosshair

Well, every day on this side of the dirt is a good day:)

11:13 am

jaxx7

You speak to me, a woman with pink hair about natural plumage???

11:14 am

crosshair

Ahh yeas, I forgot about your wonerful hair

11:15 am

crosshair

Do not follaw a path but rather blaze a trail for others to follow

11:15 am

jaxx7

it is amazing how those quotations stick. I find myself muttering along with Shakespeare. My English teacher would be proud.

11:17 am

crosshair

Shakespeare just had melodious language to work with. Grind it all through No fear Sakespeare on Sparknotes, and his works are as dull as tepid dishwater for the most part:)

11:18 am

jaxx7

Ah, he was a shrewd observer of human foibles and he was the best entertainment going all those centuries ago. No internet then.

11:19 am

crosshair

I have to research a few of his contemporaries when I head back tomorrow;(

11:19 am

jaxx7

Now it is your turn to follow in his footsteps.

11:20 am

crosshair

Marlowe, Kyd, etc

11:20 am

jaxx7

There are all sorts of theories about who actually wrote his plays. Have you a favourite/

11:20 am

crosshair

I have no conspiracy theory regarding his works as of yet:)

11:21 am

jaxx7

i am not keen on Marlowe myself.

11:22 am

jaxx7

I don't think I have ever read anything by Kyd. The name is unfamiliar.

11:24 am

rubyfoo

hello crossy and jaxx

11:24 am

jaxx7

Why won't the grid accept yaffle? it is an English name for a woodpecker.

11:24 am

jaxx7

hi, Ruby. happy new year to you.

11:25 am

rubyfoo

and to you, jaxx. What's up with the hospital appointment?

11:25 am

crosshair

I have to research 5 of Shakespeare's contemporaries and do a report on each:(

11:26 am

crosshair

Beaumont& Fletcher etc

11:26 am

jaxx7

Problems with my Parathyroid gland. I think they suspect osteoporosis as it balances the calcium in bones and teeth

11:27 am

crosshair

I hope it turns out to be nothing of consequence, jaxx

11:27 am

rubyfoo

So once they test and measure, will they be able to put you on meds to sort you out?

11:27 am

jaxx7

crossy, you have shown me how ignorant I am when it comes to the Bard's contemporaries. Some thing to read up on in the coming months

11:28 am

crosshair

There are about 8 big names that were pumping out plays during Shakespeare's writing career.

11:28 am

rururocks

sometimes they have to remove non-functioning parathyroid glands

11:29 am

rubyfoo

like the dreaded adenoids?

11:29 am

rururocks

often they will increase vitamin d supplements

11:29 am

rubyfoo

raise your hand if you still have your tonsils

11:29 am

crosshair

mine are long gone

11:29 am

rururocks

mrs ru had several parathyroids removed

11:30 am

jaxx7

Yes, I am hoping so. One cause is benign tumour of the gland. I started to read up on it until I saw the word tumour and decided I would only brood before the appointment and who wants a broody pincushion after all the blood tests?

11:30 am

rubyfoo

I think that mine being in place are the reason I never get colds or flu

11:30 am

crosshair

Yes, sometimes there is too much info on the net.

11:30 am

rururocks

tumors on the parathyroid are normal..

11:31 am

rururocks

they're almost always benign

11:31 am

crosshair

Whenever i was getting something biopsied, I waited till I got the results, then researched the crap out of it

11:31 am

rururocks

<---knows a lot about parathyroids

11:31 am

jaxx7

I haven't had my tonsils out. You have to think that things have evolved for a reason.

11:31 am

rubyfoo

Doctors probably hate the net but I think it's bettr to be well-informed to enable (pardon the expression) you to say \'No" to some treatment

11:31 am

rururocks

the internet can scare the crap out of you with possibilities ruby

11:32 am

jaxx7

Thanks, Ru. Good to know.

11:32 am

rubyfoo

Is a neutrino a female neutrino?

11:32 am

rubyfoo

neutrina

11:32 am

jaxx7

You can have too much information as you all know.

11:32 am

crosshair

it is a neutrino with pretensions:))

11:33 am

rururocks

often they can balance you with vitamin d and calcium supplements jaxx.

11:33 am

jaxx7

That is what I am hoping for.

11:33 am

rubyfoo

I was able to figure out my chest pain after I looked up pleurisy. I had the exact symptoms, causes, etc., and realized that there's no treatment beyond pain management.

11:33 am

rubyfoo

That's the good news

11:34 am

rururocks

and good nutrition for additional calcium rich foods like kale etc

11:34 am

rubyfoo

I like kale mixed with other stuff.. but you have to cook the crap out of it in general

along with the crap, do you lose te vitamins?

pejorative term for white people

jaxx7

It is the strain of staph that is Antibiotic Resistant. She had an intestinal op and it went on from there. She was in hospital for most of last year, came home, fell and broke her ankle and wastoted back in again. they found that the scar still held MRSA so she had to stay in again.

crosshair

My doctor goes to the opposite extreme when it comes to antibiotics. he loves to hand out the old sulfa-based meds first and only brings out the big guns as a last resort

11:46 am

jaxx7

The trouble is that people demand penicillin or some such even for viral illnesses which antibiotics can't touch. Then they don't take it for long enough leaving a reservoir of strong bacteria.

11:47 am

crosshair

he phones you from upstairs?? Surprised he does not just ring a bell:) Tell him to haul his carcass downstairs if he needs something:)

My wife has a friend somewhere in P.A and seems they hand out the antibiotics like tic tacs;(

I've been buying beef a lot less now that i'm single

11:51 am

jaxx7

Oh, I so agree. We had fish for lunch as we have both had enough meat. We shall have Christmas pudding for dessert with local clotted cream. Sorry, Molly, I know you don't like the use of that word in connection with cream. Delicious, thogh.

I feel sorry for Canadians. It seems every time their dollar increases in value, the prices go up.

12:00 pm

rururocks

They should start a few wars to lower their dollar then like the US does

12:01 pm

A high dollar value is a kiss/curse. Buyers south of the border get pissed because they no longer get thier 2-for-1 sale on our exports

I wouldn't eat tofu on a bet

Tofu is meant to be flavored with whatever you cook or season it with. Otherwise, it's completely tasteless. Yeech.
