This morning I proved once again that writers are totally insane. I woke up with a start at 04:30 with an entire short story fully formed in my mind. I have been out here since then frantically pounding it out on the keyboard least it vanish back into dreamland:)

5:52 am

5:59 am

Lizlin

Loved the book and movie.

6:00 am

crosshair

Do not mind me as I am still working on my first tea. My mind like to tour the outer limits when i am half-awake. I actually do some of my best writing when in this state. the old grey matter is not clogged up with the days cares and schedule yet.

6:00 am

Lizlin

Taking a break. iPad battery running low. Hugs to all.

6:00 am

crosshair

6:01 am

grannyrose

xoxox liz girl.

6:01 am

Scrabbler

I enjoy lucid dreaming. If I wake up in the morning, then doze and resume sleep, I have some fascinating dreams in which I know that I am dreaming so I am the director.

6:01 am

Scrabbler

Bye Liz

6:02 am

crosshair

I am not sure what my next read is going to be... I know I have "Infinite Jest" by David Wallace on my short list, but I am not sure if I want to get into something so massive and dark just yet.

6:02 am

Scrabbler

I am finally reading "Pillars of the Earth." I am about 1/3 through--973 pages.

6:05 am

crosshair

I also have game of Thrones still to tackle

6:05 am

Scrabbler

I would like to read that series someday too--how many are there now?

6:05 am

crosshair

Though I try to avoid "flavors of the month" until they are no longer flavors of the month

6:06 am

doseffing

5 ... 6th is coming

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Hi doseffing.

6:07 am

doseffing

... g'morning

6:07 am

Scrabbler

I have about 2 dozen books on my to-read shelf, and 125 on my Amazon wish list. Haha.

6:08 am

crosshair

Yes, i hear that he is a slow writer, so i am in no hurry to read an unfinished series

6:08 am

crosshair

Howdy, dose

6:09 am

doseffing

... I'd start now ... despite what everyone else thinks ... I wasn't a fan of the books ... ... the first one became a long slow dragging on forever read ... ... I was done for good at chapter two of the second

6:09 am

crosshair

Did that with Stephen king's big series and vowed to never do that again. Nothing worse that waiting years for the next book in a series.

6:11 am

crosshair

Interesting, Dose. You are the first "nay" I have heard for that particular series.

6:11 am

crosshair

rambles on a bit, does it?

6:11 am

doseffing

... hey ... do it like my kid did ... there was that delay between the fourth and fifth Harry Potter ... so I suggested she write one ... ... she did ... it was running as a serial on one of the fan sites ... she was a world wide recognized expert on the game of Quidditch

6:12 am

doseffing

... oh just a touch ...

6:12 am

crosshair

lol. I try to keep it down to two books in progress at any given time when I write:)

6:13 am

doseffing

... always helps to get one finished before starting on the next

6:17 am

Scrabbler

Cool, doseffing.

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Almost halfway and I must now get ready for work. Enjoy the day folks.

6:19 am

doseffing

... and you Scrabbler

6:42 am

doseffing

... oh well ... three quarters ... and judging by the last twenty words ... the last quarter looks pretty tough ... ... other things to do ... good day and good luck to everyone

Typical..no def.

6:46 pm

the bone scan shows my bones are strong so no osteoporosis.

6:46 pm

that is good. Spontaneous breaks are not fun.

That is god news, Jazz :-)

6:46 pm

Bugsaw

any more good news?

6:47 pm

phandmd

great news, Jaxx. I am already osteopenic.

6:47 pm

Oh sorry to here you have a broken bone.

6:47 pm

phandmd

have had 2 stress fractures due to running. I don't run anymore...

6:47 pm

jaxx7

Agreed. now i have a 4hr nuclear scan on my neck in April.

6:48 pm

Bugsaw

a scan for 4 hours?! you could glow in the dark when it is over?

6:48 pm

jaxx7

had lunch yesterday with friends I have kept in touch with for over fifty years. We were all creaking.

6:48 pm

zoozzoom

I was thinking the same, Bugsaw!

6:49 pm

zoozzoom

LOL but I bet it was nnice to catch up with your friend though :-)

6:49 pm

jaxx7

Apparently, An injection followed by a scan after one hour and then every 20 mins thereafter.

6:50 pm

jaxx7

We hadn't seen each other for two years in one case and three in the other. Felicity did offer my husband earplugs to reduce the noise of chatter from the back seat.

6:50 pm

zoozzoom

LOL

6:51 pm

jaxx7

Well, we had a lot to catch up on.

6:52 pm

Bugsaw

my friend and I were agreeing with Mae West earlier today as well. She said, Aging isn't for the faint-hearted, or some such thing.

6:52 pm

zoozzoom

It is nice to chit chat and get things off your chest..and generally have a good laugh!

6:52 pm

zoozzoom

I just had my friends round and had a nice chinese meal!

6:54 pm

jaxx7

We had to laugh when we got back to Felicity's hotel. She got out of one side and I got out of the other and the two tottery ladies met in the middle with our knees creaking. Ah to be 20 again.

6:54 pm

zoozzoom

My father siad he hates being old.you can not do the things you used to love doing but the mind is still ready for great adventures but the body is saying sod that.

6:55 pm

jaxx7

Ah, the spirit is willing but the flesh ain't.

6:56 pm

Bugsaw

too true you two!

6:56 pm

zoozzoom

He has terrible shakes now.When he boils the kettle I get very worried.It is okay when I am there as I will do it for him.But when i am not*shudders*

6:57 pm

jaxx7

There was a lady behind me on the bus who said if she had realised what old age was like she wouldn't have got old.

6:57 pm

jaxx7

has he got parkinsons, zoom?

6:58 pm

zoozzoom

No he has high blood pressure and is on all sorts of tablets.These gives him terrible shakes.

6:59 pm

zoozzoom

He can take pananaol tablets that would reduce the shakes.But they make him feel very strange so he says.so would rather put up with the shakes.

6:59 pm

Bugsaw

My Dad had the shakes too zooz but he loved soup. He discovered that if he had a glass of wine just before the meal, he could get some soup to his mouth! No idea what caused his shakes, but ...

6:59 pm

jaxx7

He should mention it to his doctor. There may well be better tablets for him. We go on taking these things but our metabolisms change over time and what suited us 10 years ago don't now

7:00 pm

zoozzoom

I take the same beta blockers too and they make me feel strange also..but I need them for my panic attacks.

7:01 pm

jaxx7

I was on a betablocker that gave me hallucinations. I am willing to bet yours are the same ones. Propanalol

7:01 pm

zoozzoom

He is so fussy ladies it is very hard to get him to do anything different.He is soooooo stubborn.

7:01 pm

zoozzoom

Oh yes that is the same ones, Jaxx.I thought i had spelt the name wrong.

7:02 pm

zoozzoom

I take between 1-4 each time I feel like i need to.

7:03 pm

jaxx7

I think if you read the leaflet that comes with the tablets it will tell you this. Try another. I take Bisopropol now and they are much better.

7:03 pm

zoozzoom

They are supposed to slow the heart rate down..i think they do more than that..lol

7:04 pm

zoozzoom

I will mention those to the doctor next time I see him..thanks for that..Will write the name down.

7:06 pm

jaxx7

This sounds like a medical programme. have a word with your dad's doctor and tell him/her about the trembling and the effect propanalol is having. He clearly needs someone there to help him make drinks. How about a Vacuum jug? You fill it when you are there and all he has to do is pour the water out of the jug which has a spout.

7:06 pm

jaxx7

Cut out the middle kettle.

7:07 pm

zoozzoom

Will look them up on google.

7:07 pm

jaxx7

talking of being stubborn have you got those curtains yet?. lol Now I know where you get it from.

7:08 pm

zoozzoom

I did buy him a kettle that you just place the cup under the little spout and press a button...after about 20 seconds the hot water comes out and fill the cup..But he never uses it.says he prefers the old kettle.

7:08 pm

zoozzoom

Errrm i am still chosing *cough*

7:09 pm

jaxx7

Take the old kettle away and bring it with you when you visit. My knees are creaking something awful but I have to accept that I can't dance like I used to.

7:10 pm

zoozzoom

Try telling him that..lol

7:10 pm

zoozzoom

Those vacuum jugs still have a spout that when he goes to tip it up to pour the liquid out it could still go all over the place.

7:10 pm

jaxx7

You are now the parent. lay the law down. I had to do with my mother when she was alive.

7:12 pm

Bugsaw

can you find a vaccuum jug that pumps the liquid out?

7:12 pm

jaxx7

How about the ones that you find at restaurants? they contain a lot of water and have a pipe like spout that you put the cup under. have a look on Amazon. I bet they do something like that.

7:12 pm

jaxx7

two minds, bugs

7:13 pm

zoozzoom

Agreed ladies.I am on the amazon site now..there are so many different types they have..lol

7:14 pm

jaxx7

There you are then! take the kettle away and fill the largest vacuum jug you can find

7:15 pm

jaxx7

You could tell your dad that the doctor suggested it as he was trembling so badly

7:16 pm

jaxx7

Bugs and I are problem solvers

7:16 pm

jaxx7

Still can't sort out the grid though.

Bit late for me too but I need cheering up after all the hospital visits in the last few weeks and many more to come.
