2:57 am
sprite
go go goooo flosey!
2:58 am
grannyrose
lol....yesssss!! she has promised to email and let us know what has happened but she certainly sounded a little more upbeat.
2:58 am
sprite
I woke up to a bright white world, then found my daughter frustrated... she was going to be late for school because our Terra had been a pest during the walk... wouldn't listen. So I took her by car, I think she just made it.
2:58 am
sprite
I read what she wrote, rose, and I am so relieved to see she is on the up now.
2:59 am
sprite
such a dark place to be, the post op pain and healing
2:59 am

you me and liz, and probably the whole of babbleland.
3:00 am
sprite
hehehe yes I think so too. Cyber bullies and other vicious elements excluded ;)
3:00 am
sprite
how are you doing with those last 9, flosey?
3:02 am
sprite
lol we almost have 3 wind directions in this grid.
3:04 am
flosey

3:05 am
flosey
she got the Condo she wanted
3:05 am
grannyrose

3:05 am
sprite

3:05 am

3:05 am
grannyrose
we checked out the new corolla sports car today. only one word...WOW!!!!
3:06 am
sprite
that is even better, flosey :)
3:06 am
flosey
interesting, are you in the market rose?
3:06 am
sprite
lol... ok rose!
3:07 am
grannyrose
yes, flosey. we have decided it is no longer necessary to have two cars.
3:08 am
sprite
makes sense. Can you drive it?
3:08 am
grannyrose
we are trying to find a nice in between one. my little yaris is great around town, and don's holden is great on our driving holidays
3:09 am
grannyrose
well i can see the road from the driver's se4. i am thinking that is a plus.
3:10 am
sprite
yeah that in itself has its benefits. And how is your leg doing when you sit in it?
3:12 am
grannyrose
all good. pedals are ea4 to reach, very light, front wheel drive, the hatch opens to a quite large cargo area with the back se4s down. and don can get in and out without hitting his he4.
3:12 am
grannyrose
oh, and we are going for an automatic too.
3:12 am
sprite
sold! No sir, no need to wrap it for us, we will take it as is...
3:13 am
flosey
lol, just drive it out of the showroom
3:13 am
sprite
oh, automatic is good in your case! Very relaxed driving. Are you used to it?
3:13 am
grannyrose
and the colour....like a metallic burnt orange.
3:13 am
sprite
hehehe, snap, flosey
3:13 am
sprite
oh, an autumn colour. I love it.
3:17 am

3:20 am
grannyrose
hmmmmm sprite......Fry......sprite.....Fry...\n.nope, both very entertaining, but i only love one of you.
3:21 am
sprite
*giggles* yeah right, but he takes up most of your attention. A whole lotta good it does me, that love ;)
3:23 am
grannyrose
you complaining??? Fry doesn't get emails from me, or christmas cards, or flowers...
3:23 am
sprite
hmmmm ok then, ok then.... :P
3:23 am

3:24 am

btw, I would be distracted too. I love that show. The panel is as bad as he is. Such irreverent fun.
3:25 am
grannyrose
good heavens, the paris/dakar car rally is actually held in south america.
3:25 am
sprite
lol who'd have guessed
3:27 am
sprite
I had such weird dreams last night. I dreamt of my ex boyfriend again... who was telling me I was the only one who ever saw through him and he was ever so sorry I left him... so weird.
3:27 am
grannyrose
are you enjoying the grid? i was amazed how ea4 it was.
3:28 am
sprite
over halfway in half an hour... yeah, pretty ok. Fun words so far.
3:29 am
grannyrose
and for once i remembered to plural....*giggles*
3:29 am
sprite
yeah. Am also trying to 'comparative' everything, but no joy there.
3:31 am
grannyrose
there are a couple. one is actually someone who does something.
3:31 am
grannyrose
ahem, that should re4 three
3:31 am
sprite
ok, at least not a total waste of a good ending then. But not delivering on its promise either. Did you see my dream post?
3:32 am
grannyrose
yeah, weird thing but i sometimes dream of my ex...and not always nice dreams.
3:33 am
sprite
every now and then I have a kind of dream like this. Used to be he would call me within a week from it. Nowadays he does not have my phone number though, so no way to check.
3:35 am
grannyrose
might be better that way, sprite. maybe it is saying time to let go and concentrate on now.
3:36 am
sprite
I have. I am so much better off without him, sweetie. And Rob is totally different from him, in every good way. It was he who couldn't let go. Turning back to me every time a relationship shipwrecked for him.
3:38 am
grannyrose
good grief, sort of the same here. my ex never let me go, even kept calling his next wife by my name all the time. she was forever going off in a huff.
3:41 am
sprite
lol exactly the same thing with him. We took him out for dinner the last time I saw him, giving him a good view of our happy marriage apparently. He didn't suggest we get back together that time, anyway. Lots of drama followed, between him and a mutual friend of ours, he being in love and she feeling stalked by him. After that he disappeared again. And some time after that we changed phone companies and got a new number... which I couldn't give to him, because he had disappeared... and now he has no real way to reach me. I don't mind.
3:42 am
sprite
(note my smart tactic to get you focused on the chog in st5 of the telly)
3:42 am
grannyrose
who says i'm not watching the telly?
3:43 am
sprite
you are concentratedly reading my long post
3:45 am
grannyrose
my ex DIL told me that as he was dying, he constantly asked for me, but she never told me until after his death. unfortunately he told no-one else and so my eldest assumed i was unwanted at his father's funeral. all totally wrong of course.
3:46 am
sprite
*sigh* those good-for-nothing guys, huh... we can't help loving them. They need love so bady. But man it is so unhealty to love them too much.
3:47 am
grannyrose
i hear you sprite
3:53 am
grannyrose
i got all those things done today. don loves his new piece of jewelry. and boy, did we splash out at lunch!! hot roast beef and gravy sandwiches on fresh white bread. man, it was amazing.
3:53 am
sprite
oh how wonderful, rose! Am so glad you had a good day. You were definitely due one.
3:53 am
grannyrose
thanx dearest.
3:55 am
grannyrose
i had a nana nap this afternoon when the pain meds kicked in.
3:56 am
sprite
and how is the ole body now? Pain bearable? No cramps in lower back?
3:57 am
grannyrose
not at the moment, thank heavens! and you?
3:59 am
grannyrose
i didn't need the magnesium at 2pm. i had it on hand, just didn't need it.
4:00 am
sprite
I am ok. Had a weird start of my day, had to drop caya off at school even before I took my meds. So a bit bumpy at first, but meds are kicking in and it will be alright.
4:00 am
sprite
awesome, that you didn't need the magnesium! Good sign.
4:02 am
grannyrose
the trick is to do everything in small stages. and the driving wasn't too bad today. don not braking too hard. he must have been concentrating more than usual.
4:03 am
sprite
good man. Yes, the small stages. Same here. Baby steps, if we can manage to remember, will get us there. Too bad we are so impatient, lol.
4:04 am
grannyrose
so the car dealer visit was an extra and i managed it okay.
4:09 am
sprite
wonderful. Am really glad. Makes you feel good, doesn't it :)
4:10 am
grannyrose
it does, sweetie. when i manage something extra it is a good day.
4:12 am
sprite
I know that feeling :)
4:14 am
grannyrose
if i could i would be dancing with joy. well i am in my heart.
4:16 am
sprite
better only in your heart than only with your body, sweetie
4:19 am
sprite
it is a busy day today for me. I should get a move on with the grid, lol... gives me time to do stuff in stages.

4:31 am
grannyrose

So many mothers say, "I don't believe in vaccines." Or, "I don't trust the vaccines." Uh, vaccines save lives. Reflect on pre-vaccine childhood mortality.
9:26 am
Scrabbler
Another line: "He is too young/small to get the vaccines now." Uh, your child is at high-risk NOW, why wait??

My grandma lost her first 2 babies to diphteria.
9:28 am

I like to walk around old cemeteries. I note the number of kids that parents had, and see how many made it to adulthood. Clusters of siblings died within days or weeks. Probably measles, meningitis, pneumonia.

Mr. Bich was born in post-war Germany. The hospital didn't even have a roof. He had whooping cough and diptheria. Luckily he survived

Yes he is, bichon

Amazing that he survived.

9:32 am

whooping cough can be deadly to infants.

It is amazing he survived. I don't know if they even had antibiotics
9:33 am

I don't think they were available for general use yet.

Good to hear that Downs children can be mainstreamed

Early intervention--multiple therapies--from birth can help these kids achieve more than previously expected.

Most plateau at gr 1-2 math/reading, but I had a patient that did well til gr 6.

Stick close to home Mael. No crow.
9:44 am

Imagine if you had a child with a compromised immune system
9:44 am
mael
this is why community immunity is so important, I can't believe we're sliding backwards because of fear and ignorance
9:45 am
josephjames
community immunity is a nice rhyme - maybe you could make it into a vaccination campaign slogan
9:45 am
hego
When I was a vaccine nurse I used to stress the effect of the unvaccinated on the rest of the population. This is more than just a personal decision.
9:46 am
hego
Good one JJ!
9:46 am
Scrabbler
Great idea, JJ
9:46 am
Scrabbler
Grazie, Mael.
9:47 am
mael
I think they're purposefully moving away from the term "herd immunity" because some parents (aka: idiots) didn't respond well to it
9:47 am
Scrabbler
One of my anti-vaccine mothers, in my practice, told me, "As long as 85% of the community vaccinates I feel that my kids are safe." Argh.
9:47 am
Erda
Help for di8 please?
9:48 am
josephjames
Larry Wilmore has the new show replacing the Colbert Report and he did one on vaccines, and gave a voice to an anti-vaxxer. I felt like that was really irresponsible.
9:48 am
Erda
second one, that it
9:48 am
bichon
If there was an Ebola vaccine and it spread in the US, I bet all these antivaxers would be lining up
9:48 am
hego
that could turn into a di8.
9:48 am
Shirlockc
what happens when no one immunizes = di8
9:48 am
Scrabbler
I do not have the first di8. The second is a naural di8, such as a hurricane.
9:48 am

also earthquake, hurricane
9:48 am

hah, thanks for the di8

Poor Shirlock.

it gives them the illusion of control to decide not to do what most people are doing.

Arrogance of the privileged. This couldn't happen to me.
9:51 am
Shirlockc
if it wasn't for the danger to the public and the poor kids themselves, i'd say serves them right to see their kids suffer
9:51 am

My clinic patients did all their vaccines on schedule and begged for more.

At the restaurant, I met a 'girl' I used to go to school with. Girl in inverted commas, because she is mid-fifties, like me. But we took a trip down memory lane, and ended up nearly getting thrown out of the restaurant for laughing so raucously. It was an totally unexpected bonus to the whole lunch with my Dad.

Lunch with Soodle could be many things. Quiet isn't one of them. Factor in Soodle's family, or old school pals, and , just get the ear plugs...
4:50 pm

I could have enjoyed something like that. I've been sick for 3 days with a stomach virus. I could use some cheering up

6:03 pm

a gentle wind is wafting off the bay at what seems like 1000 miles an hour and is bringing the wind chill down to minus 25 or so;)
6:03 pm
Lizlin
That sounds very cold, but perhaps you hardy guys are used to it.
6:04 pm
crosshair
We make a lot of noise about it, but we also pride ourselves on being able to play out in it when it is minus 30 or better;)
6:04 pm

Here the sun is shining, few clouds in the sky and the temperature is in the upper 20s C. Makes a change from all the rain we had a week ago.

I love watching many of the ski activities on TV - ski jumping is amazing!

Had the snowshoes on today and spend a nice hour and a half out on the trail. Was invigorating;)
6:08 pm
stidgmere
Crossy, glad to see you are enjoying your winter wonderland!!
6:08 pm
Lizlin
If you're properly dressed, I'm sure it's fun. The problem with snow in the UK, is that it's either slushy or icy!
6:08 pm
crosshair
No ski jumping for crossy. Imagine a polar bear trying to ski and you get a picture of me on skis
6:08 pm
Lizlin
LOL - I wouldn't ski jump any more than I'd bungee jump.
6:09 pm

The last time I put on cross country skies, I was so glad there were no cameras in view. More down than up but like Crossy says, invigorating.

7:34 pm

That's interesting. Didn't know the origin and had never heard of Groundhog Day until the film was released!
