nononanette what have you done???
3:02 am
flosey
hi Rose, think I must have been asleep but wakened out of a dream!
3:03 am
flosey
oh my, look a the time! had no idea it was this late
3:07 am
grannyrose
lol, flosey. are your dentures still in your mouth??
3:07 am
grannyrose
MIL did that once, and couldn't find her denture for nearly two days.
3:09 am
flosey
how could one lose such a thing!!
3:10 am
flosey
wouldn't one leave them in a cup of water?
3:10 am
grannyrose
she was nearly blind. didn't tell us for that length of time. but i found them on thefloor under the chair she had fallen asleep in.
3:11 am
flosey
poor soul!
3:12 am
grannyrose
she finally admitted why she couldn't eat her food. lol
3:12 am
flosey
did she live with you then?
3:13 am
grannyrose
yes flosey. she lived with us for the final 8 years of her life.
3:14 am
flosey
wow, that must have been a bit difficult for you?
3:15 am
flosey
I could never have lived with my mil
3:15 am
grannyrose
it was, but she was very sweet and so independent. we did all her shopping, cooking, dishes, washing, ironing. and ferried her to most of her appointments which were very numerous.
3:16 am
flosey
ah, you must truly be a saint
3:17 am
grannyrose
shhhhh, don't say it out loud you will ruin my reputation.
3:17 am
flosey
but then, she was sweet and independent, that alone makes all the difference - my mil was NOT
3:18 am
grannyrose
neither was my mother. if it had been her, i would been in prison for matricide.
3:18 am
sprite
good morning :)
3:18 am
grannyrose
{{hugs}} dear sprite. xoxox
3:18 am
sprite
my darling rose, you could have hired me as your hit woman ;)
3:19 am
sprite
hi flosey :)
3:20 am
flosey
lol Rose, that I do understand - My mom lived with us for a while after Dad died, we got along just fine - then my sister decided it was her turn, so she went to live with them - still came to visit us - she was a sweet, gentle soul
3:23 am
sprite
wow, did I kill the conversation or what?
3:24 am
flosey
lol, such as it was Sprite - MILs !!
3:24 am
grannyrose
brb. himself is going out and i am alone for the first time in days. it is his birthday tomorrow and i need to write his card and wrap his present. will fill in the details when i come back.
3:24 am
flosey
or should I say MIL's vs. Ms
3:26 am
sprite
I could have lived with my MIL for a while. She was feisty and fun and rather sweet. But I couldn't live with my mother at all. Have met her 3 times in the last year and each time it took her all but 10 minutes before she started mean remarks to me. She is not a nice person, lol.
3:27 am
flosey
ah Sprite, how awful for you to grow up in that environment
3:28 am
sprite
yes it did quite some damage. But I am happy to say that most of it is really in the past for me now. Took lots of therapy, but the rewards are all mine :)
3:29 am
flosey
I bet it sure would be one awful time getting over! so sorry to hear
3:29 am
flosey
some women just should never have children
3:30 am
sprite
thanks for caring. And oh yes, that is so true. My parents never should have had children. But on the other hand, I am glad to exist. They gave me life and for that I am grateful.
3:30 am
flosey
good for you - the light at the end of the tunnel - but what a trip!
3:31 am
sprite
also, flosey, I realise that they are the products of their own upbringing... they never had it easy either. It is hard to give what you never received, I think.
3:34 am
sprite
yeah, light at the end of the tunnel, and this time it wasn't another train ;)
I have been without any form of therapy for more than a year now and am still going strong. So that is good.
3:35 am
flosey
well done Sprite - very happy for you
3:35 am
grannyrose
and what sprite went through, ditto for me. hence we know pretty much how the other is thinking.
3:35 am
sprite
thank you flosey. How about you? Did you have a nice childhood?
3:36 am
grannyrose
whew !! made it back before he came back in.
3:36 am
sprite
good job, rose! And yeah, we share so many childhood (and adult) experiences. It makes for very easy understanding.
3:36 am
flosey
goodo Rose
3:37 am
flosey
we did have a happy childhood - perhaps sparse throughout the war years but had all the necessary comforts and love
3:38 am
flosey
most folk were in the same position
3:38 am
sprite
that is beautiful, flosey. Though the war years must have been hard. Comfort and love are a blessing though.
3:38 am
flosey
what more do kids really need!
3:39 am
grannyrose
were you born in canada flosey?
3:39 am
sprite
rose, what did you get your love for his birthday?
3:39 am
flosey
have always lived here
3:40 am
grannyrose
series nine of Foyle's War. plus what i bought at christmas which i went overboard on...*giggle*
3:41 am
sprite
lovely. He'll be a happy guy.
3:41 am
flosey
sounds like something he'll b e very happy to receive
3:42 am
grannyrose
like me in australia, flosey. bred, born and lived here all my life. still in the same town too.
3:44 am
flosey
ah, well, met hubby in Toronto, he had come to work/save money to finish college, married, lived in BC for 5 years, then back to Ontario for 30 where he taught, retired on the family farm which he always wanted
3:45 am
sprite
sounds like a good and steady life, flosey
3:45 am
grannyrose
and how much of canada have you actually seen?
3:46 am
flosey
from Ontario west - have just driven through though, never really spent time in other provinces
3:47 am
flosey
spent a bit of time with Aunt in Montreal but was never east of Quebec
3:47 am
flosey
which is a pity really, would love to have seen the East coast
3:48 am
grannyrose
we still have a lot of australia to see. i have visited all our states, but never northern territory, or the top end of queensland and western australia.
3:49 am
flosey
does Australia still have a rabbit problem?
3:49 am
sprite
can't you go for a holiday, flosey?
3:49 am
grannyrose
absolutely flosey. but the fence has held a lot of them at bay.
3:50 am
flosey
we took holidays elsewhere - London/Paris, Spain, Greece
3:51 am
flosey
ah, we are having a bit of problem here - fortunately we have a friend who likes to eat them so when hubby traps/shoots them, she is very happy
3:52 am
grannyrose
you don't like rabbit, flosey?
3:52 am
flosey
have never tried it - I'm a bit squeamish about trying it
3:53 am
grannyrose
it does need to be 'hung' properly. does your local butcher ever have them?
3:53 am
flosey
first Christmas our oldest son visited his wife's home at Christmas he was served rabbit - it was a bit difficult for him
3:54 am
grannyrose
for me rabbit tastes a bit like strong chicken.
3:54 am
flosey
have never seen them sold at a butcher shop
3:54 am
grannyrose
dar, dinner ready. bbl.

3:58 am

I have the lady with snakes as hair, but it does not seem to extend into a 7
3:58 am
flosey

4:01 am
flosey

4:01 am
flosey
no Sprite, comes right after that one
4:01 am
sprite
thanks flosey
4:02 am

4:03 am
flosey
ah, good for you
4:03 am
sprite
hubby loves soccer, so can't help learning the lingo, grin
4:03 am
flosey
hubby played soccer, didn't ever hear of anyone having a problem though
4:04 am
flosey
or, if I did, it just went over my head!!
4:05 am
sprite
my love never played soccer but he had to have one of his removed two years ago.
4:06 am
flosey
doesn't sound like fun, Sprite
4:06 am

Still searching for me 7/36 - any further clues?

4:23 am
grannyrose
i find eating processed grains as in bread seems to feed my hunger, and i end up eating all day.
4:24 am
flosey
Hubby loves zucchini bread - made several batches last summer, we're still eating it. I also put glaze cherries and such in it, we love it
4:24 am
grannyrose
that sounds delish flosey.
4:25 am
flosey
just happened to have stuff left over from making Christmas Cake so tried it!! quite a hit
4:27 am
sprite
flosey, would you mind sending me the recipe? Would love to try it.
4:27 am
grannyrose
that's better than it going 'off' in the cupboard until next christmas.
4:28 am
flosey
yes, Sprite be glad to - what I'll do is print it in my bio, ok?
4:28 am
sprite
thank you :D Yes, perfect, I can copy/paste it then
4:29 am

4:40 am
grannyrose
wb, dearest.
4:41 am
grannyrose
how was your night, dear? oh and before you disappear again, how is the dizziness?
4:42 am
sprite
my night was fine :) And the dizziness is gone for the most part. I am feeling pretty good atm. I seem to be losing a lot of weight, lots of excess fluid disappearing.
4:44 am
grannyrose
wow !! sprite, good for you. i am so proud of you, and i am not going to stop saying it.
4:45 am
sprite
*giggles* I love to hear it! Am happy with myself too, am doing well and sticking to the diet, and it is creating so much peace inside.
4:46 am
grannyrose
oh, my, i won't recognise you.
4:47 am
grannyrose
when i did the diet many years ago, i found the rapid weight loss was such a booster to my determination.
4:48 am
sprite
holding on to fluid can be a sign of the body getting too much toxins. As it was explained to me, too much carbs can be so taxing on the digestive system that it is poisonous in a way. Yes, you are right, the rapid weight loss is stimulating.
4:49 am
flosey
stuck on vi6, any clues, please???

4:56 am
sprite
quite well, zooz, thanks! Was thinking of you and your parents yesterday. It was King's Day here, a national holiday, and one of the traditions is a freemarket for all. Each neighbourhood has a place where people sit down on blankets and sell their stuff, for bargain prices. I think your parents would love it.
4:57 am
zoozzoom
Yes that would of been nice to go round and see what they were offering! Did you find any bargains?
4:59 am
sprite
we only checked out our local bunch. I found a colander, same as the one we had that had lost its foot and handgrips.
5:00 am
sprite
for only 1 euro :D
5:03 am
zoozzoom
Excellent! I love looking through boxes of things in the hope of finding something that is useful..lol
5:04 am

I like it too, but I cannot be on my feet for very long. So I was doubly happy I found something we really needed so quickly!
5:05 am

I often mix up 2 or 3 extra batches of the dry ingredients to have on hand - just keep them in individual ziploc baggies

lol... just after my first infusion i had a headache, and it took me an hour to realise what it was.
5:15 am
sprite
it is funny with pain. You somehow find a way to live with it. And only when it is less, or gone, you realise what else is hiding beneath the surface
5:16 am
grannyrose
do you remember sprite?
5:16 am
zoozzoom
Sprite, We took our dad to a carboot sale on Sunday in his wheelchair.He was not a happy chappy.we said did you enjoy not having to struggle walking around? He replied 'no all I could see was peoples arses at my eye level' LOL..Bless him.
5:16 am

What was it, Rose?
5:17 am

Indeed, Zooz> I am generally awake between 5 and 6 am these days
5:17 am
sprite
when I was at the dietician's, we told her about my vit D deficiency and how extremely low it was, and she said: "Omg you must have had such horrible muscle cramps and pains!" And all I could say way, well, I am used to pain. Haven't really noticed it being different.
5:18 am
zoozzoom
Way too early for me, Crossy..lol
5:18 am
sprite
awwww your dad is a darling, zooz! Yeah, that is really nasty, the view from there. Plus the fact that lots of people immediately think that they have to talk about him to you, in stead of straight at him.
5:20 am

yaaa for sprite!!
