Lizlin
Hoping it all goes easily for you tomorrow.
3:19 am

Hi and hugs sprite
3:22 am
sprite
how are you lovely ladies at the moment?
3:22 am
Lizlin
I'm fine - are you feeling better today?
3:23 am
grannyrose
i hurt if i move. so i am sitting quietly. did you catch some good rest overnight?
3:23 am
sprite
2nd day after overtaxing and 4th day of new diet... lots of pain and too tired for words. But things should begin to feel better tomorrow.
3:24 am
Lizlin
Poor both of you.
3:24 am
sprite
poor rose :( *healing vibes*
Yeah I slept ok.
3:25 am
grannyrose
*gentle hugs for sprite*
3:25 am
Lizlin
Hugs for both of you.
3:26 am
sprite
thanks :) Don't worry, dear friends, I am ok. Can handle this. Both the overtaxing and the diet are my own choice, so it is fine.
3:27 am
Lizlin
I worry bout both of you.
3:27 am
grannyrose
bless you both.
3:27 am
sprite
aw sweetie, don't. We are strong women. See how much we survived already. Hear us roarrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
3:28 am

*giggle* what sprite said.
3:29 am
sprite
and gr6 to he4 you are well, Liz! Makes me happy.
3:30 am
Lizlin
Your dogs here again
3:30 am
sprite
awwww so he is. Thanks :D
3:31 am
grannyrose
btw, i might not be on tomorrow. it depends on how long the infusion takes.
3:31 am
Lizlin
Always wonder why I can't add an N to the word
3:31 am
sprite
of course, darling. It will take as long as it takes, and we will see how you feel afterwards.
3:31 am
Lizlin
Shorter th4 last time I hope.
3:32 am
Lizlin
We'll miss you but understand.
3:32 am
grannyrose
i hope so too.
3:33 am
sprite
and may the effects keep on for twice as long, rose
3:34 am
grannyrose
everything is crossed.
3:35 am
sprite
kinda looks like you need to go potty, rose
3:35 am
grannyrose
hahahaha
3:40 am
sprite
ugh, what I miss most: my morning coffee. My lovely comforting sweet wiener melange coffee.
3:41 am
Lizlin
Why is coffee out?
3:42 am
sprite
went to the dietician on friday, Liz, and she suggested I go on a carb-less regime. Her reasoning was very sound and I am giving it a go. If it works, I might not even need the operation.
3:42 am
Lizlin
Well no op would be good but coffee's not carb.
3:43 am
grannyrose
can you drink black tea, sprite? or green tea?
3:43 am
sprite
no, coffee in itself is ok. It is my wiener melange that is not allowed, alas.
3:43 am
sprite
yes to both, rose
3:43 am
Lizlin
Wiener melange?
3:44 am
sprite
yeah. It is a coffee melange from Vienna, Liz. It has chocolate in it. And some sugar.
3:44 am
grannyrose
google it liz. it's a coffee made with half water, half milk
3:44 am
Lizlin
Sounds good.
3:46 am
sprite
it is very popular here in the netherlands and it used to be my daily sin. Very nice, my mug of wiener in the morning. So that is what I miss the most. Am drinking Joi de Vivre now, a yogi tea with a bite.
3:47 am
Lizlin
I don't eat much sugar or carbs. Can't say none though.
3:47 am
grannyrose
you know, sprite, when you have lost all your weight, and you are allowed to add mik again it is going to taste like pure cream.
3:47 am
Lizlin
Is it a big change to you diet generally?
3:47 am
sprite
true, that, rose
3:49 am
sprite
very big, Liz. This is a special regime, to force my body to break down fat for fuel. I used to stay away from fat. Now I must eat fat, but stay away from all carbs. It means no bread, no crackers, no cereal, no potatoes, no rice, no pasta. Nothing sweet. No fruit.
3:49 am
grannyrose
which is why to this day i cannot abide milk in my tea, just a splash is more than enough.
3:50 am
Lizlin
Wish you lots of luck with it.
3:50 am
sprite
thank you :) Am feeling good about it. And the tiredness should get better in the next few days.
3:50 am
Lizlin
I rarely drink regular tea but also only have the tiniest bit of milk in it.
3:51 am
Lizlin
Keep he up to date with how it's going pls.
3:51 am
sprite
will do, Liz. Thanks.
3:55 am
sprite
I never use milk in my tea. And I am not crazy about regular tea. Usually drink some kind of herbal tea.
3:56 am
grannyrose
it sounds very much like the diet i did after my first baby. but i alas went on to have two more. each time i lost the weight. then menopause hit, i through in the towel until i had my first knee surgery. lost all the weight, i was running, walking everywhere...then i fell.
3:57 am
Lizlin
You'll get there again, rose.
3:57 am
grannyrose
ugh *threw *
3:57 am
sprite
poor rose. But you will get there, in time, darling. You will. You have too much staying power and courage for anything less.
3:58 am
grannyrose
with you two backing me i am sure i will.
3:59 am
sprite
every step of the way, rose.
4:00 am
sprite
oh btw.... MEN! I was happily nagging about missing my morning wiener melange so much. And my guy, as guys do, went straight into the fixing mode. "Oh but there must be a tea you like, find yourself a nice tea." Told him to shut it and just say: "Oh how horrible for you! And just that coffee that you love so much! Awwww poor you!"
4:01 am
Lizlin
It'll be so good at the end.
4:02 am
sprite
lol can you imagine, rose and I meeting at last, both thin as can be!
4:02 am
Lizlin
Brick wall time and almost dinner time, so time for a break. Hugs to you both
4:02 am
grannyrose
oh dear...poor Rob. yeah i he4 you. what you wanted was sympathy. * shaking head *
4:02 am
sprite
enjoy your dinner, Liz, and *hugs* for you both.
4:03 am
sprite
exactly, rose. Guys don't get that, do they. They feel like they need to fix it for you. Nah, I can fix it myself. I just need sympathy!
4:04 am
grannyrose
enjoy your evening, liz girl. {{hugs}}
4:16 am
sprite

4:18 am
grannyrose

4:20 am
sprite

4:20 am
grannyrose
my phantom was riparian
4:20 am
sprite
ohhh nice one. What does it mean?
4:21 am
grannyrose

4:21 am
grannyrose

4:22 am
sprite
wow, that is very good. I am slowing down now with about 100 left still.
4:22 am
sprite
awesome word too. New for me :D
4:23 am
grannyrose

4:24 am
grannyrose
i love it when i look at lickety and as soon as i see the 2 letter clue, i go ....oh yeah!!
4:25 am
sprite
hehehe I hate that.
4:26 am
grannyrose
i am finding that sometimes i look at a tile, sit back, and think that's a word. i can picture it. i try it and it works.
4:27 am
sprite
lol. Yeah that works for me too. I often try words which pop up in my head, even if I cannot see how they go in the grid. And often they take.
4:28 am
zoozzoom
I am finding that sometimes I look at a tile, sit back, and think that's a word. I can picture it. I try it and it doesn't.
4:28 am

roflollllll hi zooz. yeah, that is pretty common for me as well.
4:28 am
grannyrose
that's the creative side of your brain taking over.
4:28 am

4:36 am
sprite

4:36 am
zoozzoom
that is what you call astudent fridge, Sprite..lol
4:36 am
sprite

grannyrose

4:37 am
sprite
lol poor rose!
4:37 am
zoozzoom
You should of said "Sod all if you ask once more"
4:38 am
zoozzoom
Or " if oyu ask once more...there will be no dessert"
4:39 am
zoozzoom
My typing is terrible today!
4:39 am
sprite
or "You want dinner? Cook dinner. Use your imagination."
4:39 am
sprite
we understand you, zooz, don't worry about it
4:39 am
grannyrose
hang on, i helped unpack the shopping. need to check something.
4:39 am
zoozzoom
I think he would rather strave, Sprite..lol
4:40 am
sprite
roflol he may, zooz, true
4:40 am
zoozzoom
Starve* Argggh!
4:40 am
sprite
um rose... darling... running to and from the kitchen twice is not good for your painful body.
4:40 am
zoozzoom
Actually how come 'Arggh@ is not accepted in the grid..psst and others are.
4:41 am
sprite
because that is one of the spellings that is not valid
4:42 am
zoozzoom
nor is argh...Am missing something??
4:42 am
grannyrose
i know, i know. he did buy the sugar-free icecream. and no...he cannot come to bed fully dressed to save time in the morning. sheesh!!
4:43 am
sprite
aargh, aarrgh , aarrghh are all valid.But there is no variant with only one a at the start

4:47 am

zoozzoom
Let alone a tea strainer!
4:49 am

Good morning
5:43 am

Howdy, sukee
5:45 am

12C and rain all day today, but that is ok because anything that is not ice and snow is still a novelty
5:45 am
sukee
Yes, rain here too all day.
5:45 am
grannyrose
more like dead of winter here, crossy. in pain again. next infusion therapy tomorrow.
5:45 am
grannyrose
xoxox sukee
5:46 am
crosshair
I am glad the treatment is soon then, rose:) I forget sometimes that you are sliding into aussie winter:/
5:46 am
crosshair
Just think, after the infusion you will feel grand once again:)
5:47 am
crosshair
Ask them if they have a portable infusion you can bring home and take mid-month if things get wonky:) Barring that ask if you can get a baggie of weed;)
5:49 am
crosshair
now that the laws are loosening up here, things like Marinol and weed permits are easier to get. the docs are actually giving them out and not avoiding them at all costs due to the stigma that used to be attached to it.
5:50 am
sukee
Slept wrong, got a pain in the neck this morning :)
5:50 am
crosshair
because i can attest that its side effects can be mild indeed compared to some of the manufactured pain meds out there:(
5:50 am
crosshair
Poor sukee...here, have a marinol..:)
5:51 am
crosshair
although in pill form it is more to treat loss of apetite
5:51 am
crosshair
damn typos
5:52 am
grannyrose
poor sukee. crossy, don't think those suggestions will pass.
5:52 am
sukee
Will try and work it out today before it starts spreading down my back back.
5:52 am
sukee
one back :)
5:54 am
crosshair
I am always getting neck pain due to arthritis plus 3 heriated disks in my neck and I can tell you that a quality pillow can go a long way in helping
5:54 am
sukee
Yes I need a new neck pillow.
5:55 am
sukee
I have one but it's a bit flat where it counts.
5:56 am
grannyrose
sukee, could you find a japanese pillow? it's like a log, but softer.
5:56 am
sukee
I think I tried one of those once and was not fond of it.
5:57 am
grannyrose
it takes a while to get used to it. perhaps you need a new sculpted pillow.
5:58 am
sukee
I guess, this one is only about 2 years old.
5:58 am
grannyrose
oh, i see. you do need a new one.
5:59 am
sukee
I'll add it to my shopping list :)
5:59 am
grannyrose
try on-line, dear. you can get some good prices there.
5:59 am
sukee
Fun month, need ink for my printer, need shoes and I know I have to pay income tax at the end of the month.
6:00 am
grannyrose
but for now....heat pack for 10 minutes, then rub in he4 rub.
6:00 am
crosshair
it does have a way Of piling up. this month I must pay for driving permit along with plate sticker... can kiss 200 dollars goodbye:(
6:03 am
grannyrose
need to go get meds ready.
6:35 am
crosshair
Sukee, i swear that printer ink must be made from unicorn blood, leprechaun sweat and the tears of a virgin with the price they charge for the stuff:(
6:36 am
grannyrose
and back. funny you should say th4, crossy.
6:36 am
crosshair
My printer has been dry for month. For my machine the black cartridge is 25 plus tax and the colour one is almost 50 dollars!
6:37 am
crosshair
Your machine dry as well, rosie?
6:38 am
grannyrose
good grief crossy. it came up as low just now but i am sure DH replaced it the other day. ah well he can sort it out.
6:38 am
crosshair
Sometimes the head on the cartridge gets gummed up and will give a false reading
6:39 am
lbdawger
gm, everyone. clean the heads on your printer. they could be clogged if you just replaced the cartridge.
6:39 am
grannyrose
he cleaned the head yesterday.
6:39 am

I think the heavy rain isn't coming until later this afternoon
8:37 am
bichon
Besides, runners like it cool
8:38 am
HarryHood
I would hate running in wet socks.
8:39 am
bichon
I don't think long distance runners think in those terms. Their discomfort is the heat and sun
8:41 am
bichon
ooops, PB for moi
8:41 am

they all look so miserable anyway - I guess wet feet don't add that much misery.

the twins told their mom tbey were staying here. tertiare told me she was staying with the twins. I stayed at valentines. they all stayed here, alone.
9:38 am

The twins kind of told the truth.

9:41 am

Oh, honey....when it is clear the mother knows, just give it up.
9:42 am
car.eeyore
At that point, you are better off telling the truth.
9:42 am

Get this: had a student approach me asking advice on budgeting. says her budget is out of control. i asked her what she spent on groceries a month for her family of 3 and she said $350.00 every two weeks!!! $700/month for three people!!!!!! i said "well, you can start right there because with that much money you must eat like royalty!!" She then went on to say she usualluses 10 dollars a day at the coffee shop each morning and another 10 a day for take out pitas and subs for lunch... I had to try my best not to laugh..
1:07 pm
harpjane
She sounds like me.
1:08 pm
crosshair
imagine 400/a month just on breakfast and lunch take-out food!
1:08 pm
harpjane
Tell her to eat beans and rice until she gets out of debt.
1:08 pm
ChrissieDee
And she probably has take away every night
1:08 pm
harpjane
THEN she can eat out all the time if she wants to.
1:09 pm
ChrissieDee
And potatoes
1:09 pm
harpjane
(And I'm not talking about beans out of a can.....)
1:09 pm
crosshair
I said you eat more in take out than the cost of my entire food budget for the month.. she just looked at me blankly

We just took a road trip and only spent $20 in restaurants the whole weekend.
1:10 pm

It's called a cooler.
1:10 pm

I get the feeling you were wasting your breath on that conversation crossy
1:11 pm
ChrissieDee
I am :)
1:11 pm
jaxx7
It is the instant generation, crossy, want it and want it now.
1:11 pm
crosshair
we have a nice travel cooler that can plug in and keep perishables cold without worrying about ice. the jeep has two 3 12v outlets and two 110v outlets, so it is easy
1:11 pm
ChrissieDee
and they only want the best
1:12 pm
crosshair
Got that right. no sooner did I try to help her on her budget than she is ordering a 150 dollar hoodie online... I gave up
1:12 pm
harpjane
Well, if you're working two jobs, sometimes you feel like you need to grab convenience food because of the lifestyle. IT;s a vicious cycle.
1:12 pm

Interesting that a student in an English class asked a teachers aide advice on budgeting.
1:13 pm
jaxx7
Did you see the bit in the paper about prince George, who on being told his father went to china, went to a china cupboard and said daddy not there? I hope you don't do the same. lol
1:13 pm
ChrissieDee
I did. So cute
1:14 pm
crosshair
these are mostly 17-25 year olds who as chrissie said are used to instant everything and now they are trying to get used to doing it without mummy and daddy
1:15 pm
crosshair
Even though it IS an English class, I am not above offering advice now and then
1:15 pm
jaxx7
Budgeting is not in their dictionary
1:15 pm
harpjane
The thing is, mummy and daddy may have lived that way also.
1:16 pm
crosshair
got that right

ChrissieDee
Don't waste your breath crossy :)
1:16 pm

Well now they have to use whats in their own wallet, and it is a harsh transition for some
1:17 pm

They just do not understand if they have been brought up that way.
1:17 pm
ChrissieDee
It's good of you to listen to their problems
1:17 pm
crosshair
I cannot help them with an APA reference page if they are hyperventilating over their household budget lol
1:18 pm

You are probably near to mum and dad in age so they feel they can confide in you.
1:18 pm

yes, that plays a large part. I have a decade or so on the teacher lol
1:19 pm

Who probably has the same problems.
1:20 pm

so her mum is grammy--at 31!
1:23 pm
jaxx7
My daughter had her daughter at 19. We were a hardworking family whose budget was soon stretched. She is now 37 and still has no idea on budgetting. She often says she appreciates what we went through to keep the two of them well fed and warm bot only now she has to do it for herself now. before that she told us she was deprived as we never went abroad. the choice was simple survival or holidays.
1:23 pm

you're right, ru - was being flippant. identity theft is probably more common than i think it is. i hear about it at work, but wonder how much of it is made up

so now i give the fake one. as long as it fits the format, they never question it. Just wish I had thought of it when very young, when the hacked data was provided.
8:24 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes, the doctor can make up a patient number, if they want to. many do not want to
8:24 pm
rururocks
that's smart to do that but you have to remember the number you created to access records
8:25 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes, and it is an easy permutation of the actual.

lets see.. hacked medical records. hacked official work credit card. Twice. Hacked personal credit card this time last year.
8:26 pm
rururocks
jeez.. this grid worked me over
8:26 pm
rururocks
wow TO..must be more prevalent on the East Coast

well, the work one is a corporate account, all of the records were taken, and one time a file was lost with all of them. nothing is local anymore, which is the root of the problem
8:29 pm
welki
harry, how many passes does he get for the year?
8:30 pm
rururocks
I pay in cash at most store.

so millions of cards which are held all over the country were compromised. the personal one, as long as i have held it, I did pretty wellcomsidering todays environment. the medical hacking was by china,allegedly
8:30 pm
welki
(i've had a credit card hacked, but that's pretty small potatoes)
8:30 pm
72 Temple Owl
not allowed to use anything but corporate card for work.
8:32 pm
72 Temple Owl
but the thing is , no one takes any responsibility. the other day when a doctor asked for ssn, i asked how they intended to protect the date. they were hpod. i got another doctor.
8:33 pm
72 Temple Owl
the doctors who employed the medical records corporation to manage their records just said it was the companysfault and washed their hands of it.
8:33 pm
72 Temple Owl
very sorry, folks. but it is a sore subject.
8:34 pm
welki
well, it's about as personal as you can get
8:35 pm
72 Temple Owl
especially when they shrug it off as they do. wait till it happens to them.
8:36 pm
72 Temple Owl
sorry, harry, hijacked your story. homework passes are something new to me, they sound neat.
8:37 pm
HarryHood
oh no that's ok...it's not very exciting. just took 15 minutes to get him to tell me what was wrong
8:38 pm
welki
he's probably the kid who needs homework passes the least, too - right?
8:38 pm
HarryHood
he is so obsessive about doing his hw that he gets passes for doing it all the time. seems silly to reward doing your hw with not having to do your hw
8:38 pm
HarryHood
well there's this creative writing thing which he doesn't understand (just found this out during our discussion) and he was counting on the passes for getting out of it, rather than asking how to do it
8:39 pm
HarryHood
some of these newfangled teaching methods are sheer idiocy.
8:39 pm
welki
only two more months until the end of school - he's still got enough for one every three weeks
8:39 pm
HarryHood
yes welki - that's what I told him. seemed to calm him down. he's only used one so far, and another today.
8:39 pm
welki
ohhh, and a clever kid, too - knows how to budget effectively
8:40 pm
welki
rangers won!

well, time to go do some work before i am too tired. happy babbling, all.
