2:18 am

2:24 am

Agree with sprite
2:24 am

Good through til mid-ish September, sometimes longer.
2:25 am
grannyrose
oh, good, plenty of time then.
2:26 am
sprite
yeah and I have heard that the show is such a big success they will repeat it next year.
2:26 am
Lizlin
It's always down to luck what you see. Only saw one whale today and it was sleeping so we left it. Then it breached so we went back and stayed with it, breaching and sleeping. But there were no others around that we saw.
2:26 am
grannyrose
* giggles * silly sprite... xoxoxoxoxox
2:26 am

grannyrose
sweetie. see you then
2:58 am
sprite
back already
3:00 am
grannyrose
yayayayayayay
3:01 am
sprite
decided to let them send my glasses to the manifacturer, in stead of letting them fix it in the shop. Sigh. Back to my old glasses for a bit.
3:02 am
sprite
but... every disadvantage has its advantage, as a famous dutch soccer player once said... it means I get to spend more time with you.
3:03 am
grannyrose
awww * blush * gee thanx
3:04 am
sprite
I got wounds where the legs of the glasses meet the skin... appears the coating has been eaten away by my skin and now the metal is against my skin... for which I am allergic. Pffff.
3:05 am
grannyrose
oh, terrific. just what you needed.
3:06 am
sprite
too true, lol. They asked the manufacturer for new legs, but of course the model is no longer in stock and they don't have the parts anymore... he was willing to find me other legs... but for that, he needed the actual glasses.
3:07 am
grannyrose
my glasses have a plastic sleeve thingy over the 'legs'
3:07 am
sprite
so I had to decide... send off my glasses for at least a week and hope for the best, but if it works out my glasses will be as new and they will last longer... or let them fix a coating in the shop.
3:08 am
sprite
yeah, that was the other option, indeed. The shop lady said to wash your glasses every day, with handsoap and lukewarm water. That way, the coating will stay on.
3:10 am
sprite
all minor things on the scale of life, lol... just so hard to make a choice. I am not a good chooser, so to say.
3:12 am
grannyrose
it is difficult trying to weigh up costs and inconvenience.
3:12 am
sprite
exactly. Even with the antidepressants, I am still low in serotonin... which translates in difficulty with choosing, among other things.
3:13 am
grannyrose
hence the killer brain fog, my dear
3:14 am
sprite
you got it, lol. Wanna drive me crazy? Ask me to choose between white or milk chocolate...
3:15 am
grannyrose
sprite, would you like a piece of white or milk chocolate?
3:15 am
sprite
whaaaaaaaa! *grabs both and makes off with them*
3:16 am
grannyrose
roflollll.... and thar she goes, folks!!
3:16 am
sprite
fueled by chocolate. Works every time.
3:24 am
grannyrose
i'm still here. have been trying to warm my hands. my left index finger has rheumatoid in the first joint which is stinging, and my right wrist is hurting.
3:25 am

aw darling :( *sending warming vibes to your hands*
3:27 am
dizgrannie
anyone here have vertigo probs? hubby was diagnosed with slight vertigo a couple of months ago - but yesterday I apparently had a full blown attack....spent the day night spewing, spinning and sleeping. At the Hosp - all bllod test came back clear.
3:28 am
dizgrannie
bllod = blood
3:28 am
sprite
how very unpleasant, dizgrannie :(
3:29 am
grannyrose
poor you diz. you may have a virus in your middle ear.
3:30 am
dizgrannie
granny, they checked all that, but I did have a bit of ringing sounds in my left ear
3:33 am
grannyrose
sprite, is it gapeach who has the vertigo?
3:34 am
sprite
I thought so
3:34 am
grannyrose

3:39 am
sprite
how are you now, dizgrannie? Has it settled?
3:49 am
dizgrannie
sprite, feeling heaps better, but very tired.
3:49 am
sprite
am glad at least the dizziness is over. Sounds like you should take it very easy for now.
3:52 am
dizgrannie
take it easy and stress less.....lol
3:53 am
sprite
ah yes, that in the first place, lol. You don't want to be dizzygrannie ;)

How is your back feeling?
6:22 am
Scrabbler
A quick visit before work. Hello kids.
6:30 am
rubyfoo
anybody home?
6:31 am
Anniebrook
((ruby)) How are you?
6:32 am
rubyfoo
hello Annie, I'm hanging on by the skin of my teeth, trying to get things organized.
6:32 am
Anniebrook
Are you getting any treatments?
6:32 am
rubyfoo
My son is arriving tomorrow to help with all that -- power of attorney, will, DNR, etc. He'll stay through the liver biopsy.
6:33 am
rubyfoo
No treatments until after the next two scans and the biopsy.
6:33 am
Anniebrook
Good son. When is the biopsy scheduled?
6:34 am
rubyfoo
The biopsy is on 2 July. John is really stepping up!
6:35 am
Anniebrook
Yes, he is. After the biopsy, you will know how to proceed. You are in my prayers every night,
6:35 am
rubyfoo
He'll be able to help with logistics (complicated as scans, etc. are all in different places) and with Burt, who can't be left alone
6:37 am
Anniebrook
John helping with Burt will ease your mind so you can concentrate on yourself.
6:37 am
rubyfoo
Yes, and the neighbors are being wonderful, helping with transportation and shopping
6:38 am
Anniebrook
Good neighbors are a blessing. Right now, Ruby takes care of Ruby.
6:41 am
MollyL
We all have your back, Ruby. Try to remember all those prayers and good wishes headed your way.
6:41 am
rubyfoo
Surprisingly, my local friends and neighbors are more forthcoming that Americans I've lived near, whether in small towns or cities
6:41 am
rubyfoo
Molly, you cannot imagine how important your prayers and good wishes are to me.
6:44 am
MollyL
Irish poet John O'Donohue tells a story about an old Irish woman who was praying for him. She said, "I have you every morning and every evening". He said it was so comforting to thing of someone holding a sanctuary around him twice a day.
6:44 am
rubyfoo
I think that the biopsy will tell the whole story, whether this can be treated or whether it's in the bones and I'm o my way out.
6:45 am
MollyL
Treatable, Ruby, treatable. Remember, thoughts become things.
6:47 am
rubyfoo
Fortunately, I a not afraid of chemo, having gotten through it fairly easily before. Im' terrified of the biopsy, though, have heard bad things about it. My doctor said I should load up on morphine before I leave the house
6:47 am
Anniebrook
Treatable, dear Ruby.
6:49 am
Anniebrook
I have to get ready for an early appointment. Remember, Ruby, we are all on your side so you can lean on us.
6:49 am
rubyfoo
I'm leaning!!!! I love you guys!
6:52 am
rubyfoo
bye for now -- nap time
6:52 am
bichon
ruby, I've had a biopsy and it was a piece of cake
6:52 am
rubyfoo
where? They want to keep me overnight for the lover
6:53 am
rubyfoo
liver (I wis lol)
6:53 am
bichon
sorry, thought it was breast.
6:54 am
bichon
Will they give you pre and post biopsy painkillers
6:54 am
rubyfoo
No, the breast biopsy was easy because they had already removed the tuors. This is different as they have to make various big pnctures....eek
6:55 am
rubyfoo
they give local anesthesia which never works for me, hence the large morphine does my doctor recommended
6:59 am
rubyfoo
happily, my oncologist speaks English and wants me to be as pain-free as possible. She' a peach
6:59 am
bichon
That's a strong plus
7:01 am
rubyfoo
It is good to be able to express things in English so that the nuances are not lost
7:03 am
bichon
I know a couple whos son had a rock climbing accident in northern Italy. He fell 100 feet and was in a coma. They rushed to the hospital in in Italy and the only English speaking person was the Neurosurgeon. how is that for luck
7:04 am
MollyL
Ruby if they do give you pain killers make sure you tell them how much you have already taken yourself.
7:05 am
Uneaixoise
dear Ruby, am reading back through the chog . . . am so very sorry for what you're dealing with - so very glad your son has stepped up and that your local friends and neighbors are being so helpful . . . love and all good wishes to you -- I know you're aware of the massive amount of good will coming your way from all your Babble friends XXXXOOOO

sh6.33 and hu7.36 - is Babble trying to tell us something?
7:10 pm
jaxx7
Hi, Bugs. I have an appointment next Friday with a surgeon who lost my notes and then proceeded to tell me he thought he would like to'have 'a dig on the left hand side of my neck'. Great bedside manner eh?
7:13 pm
Bugsaw
ooo jaxx. I had a surgeon with that level of tact but he turned out to be the best one. He tied up my ugly scars and left me with the thinnest, least noticeable one. Perhaps yours is the same. He is a surgeon because he is very skilled at what he does but his patients are usually asleep so they don't get offended as often.
7:13 pm
Bugsaw
let's hope@
7:14 pm
jaxx7
I can only hope so. He was a very handsome man with a tactless manner and careless attitude. He lost all my test results so I have had to go through it all again.
7:16 pm
jaxx7
Other than getting a little tired of waiting, I am fine thanks. and you?
7:16 pm
Bugsaw
I bet he is on the autism spectrum. When it comes to surgery being the only think he really cares about, you might just have a winner
7:16 pm
Bugsaw
waiting is the hard part for sure
7:17 pm
Bugsaw
I am well. I am one week away from having the summer off.
7:17 pm
jaxx7
You could be right. let's keep our fingers crossed.
7:18 pm
jaxx7
Oh, lucky you. have you got anything special planned?
7:19 pm
Bugsaw
mine are. ... I plan to go see stidmama next month at her new house. I already had a wonderful visit with other Babblers, jillibus, rururocks, saanichcat and flosey. I have never met a Babbler I didn't like.
7:19 pm
jaxx7
We are all lovely!
7:19 pm
Bugsaw
we are not big travellers because me husband loves his shop too much to leave home often
7:21 pm
jaxx7
That's like my husband who loves his fishing so much so he won't go far either. I have got used over the years to peering into the local river when we go anywhere new.
7:22 pm
Bugsaw
my husband thinks he likes fishing but he seldom does it.
7:22 pm
Bugsaw
are there other fish-widows to chat with while you watch?
7:23 pm
jaxx7
Nigel is passionate about it. I don't watch - not my scene - I stay home and nod wisely when he comes home full of fisherman's tales.
7:24 pm
jaxx7
I eat the fish tho. lol
7:24 pm
Bugsaw
you are my kind of woman! I have no idea what he is describing when he tells me how he solved some mechanical problem.
7:25 pm
Bugsaw
no such benefit for me. just lots of greasy hand marks on cupboards and towels.... sigh
7:25 pm
jaxx7
His brother has just retired so they trot off together and enjoy the male bonding.
7:26 pm
jaxx7
Mind you, I am not sure that his brother is totally safe to be with. Last week he threw the anchor out without a rope attached. Silly man
7:27 pm
Bugsaw
I love watching that. My husband lost one brother a year ago and the younger one gave us all a scare this year. I am so glad he had those years to hang out with them again.
7:27 pm
Bugsaw
I love the anchor with no rope guy! Sounds like my boys when they get to be old.
7:28 pm
jaxx7
Nigel had five brothers but only two remain alive. One lives locally and the other lives about 12 miles away.
7:30 pm
Bugsaw
Their poor mother. I only had 4 sons and when the last was born a friend who was one of 5 boys came to see us and said how sorry he was. I didn't understand until he said, You are going to have dead cars all over your yard for years!
7:30 pm
jaxx7
He went one better the week before. My niece has a lovely dog called guzzle but has to work so she asks her dad to walk him for her. He rushed into her house, grabbed the lead and the poo bags and set off. he got 7 miles down the road and realised he had left the dog behind!
7:31 pm
jaxx7
My mum-in-law did have a girl but she was stillborn. Mum put it down to getting in and out of air raid shelters.
7:31 pm
Bugsaw
OMG that is hilarious! I can't believe he got that far before wondering where he was going
7:31 pm
72 Temple Owl
evening.
7:34 pm
72 Temple Owl
i am watching "the fly" whist finishing. probably have nightmares.
7:36 pm
jaxx7
It must run in the family. Mum dressed Nigel in dresses in the Victorian fashion and I think she was still wanting a girl. Nigel took his little trike, he'd be about three, and went off to find his grandad who was a farrier in a town about 5 miles away. The police apprehended him and reported to mum have you lost a little girl. Mum said no but were they sure it was a girl. The cop went back and checked the undercarriage and came back to say it was indeed a boy.
7:37 pm
jaxx7
Is that the one with Jeff Goldblum in it?
7:37 pm
Bugsaw
poor Nigel. I bet his brother still tease him about that to this day.
7:37 pm
Bugsaw
all his brothers, I mean
7:37 pm
72 Temple Owl
oh no, it is the original. 1958.
7:38 pm
jaxx7
Much scarier then. Just don't eat cheese as well or you will have nightmares.
7:39 pm
Bugsaw
my boys teased the youngest one mercilessly telling him he was a girly man until he took up American style football on the offensive line. they knew he could win in a fight now
7:39 pm
72 Temple Owl
i am eating cookies. that is, i WAS eating cookies. no more, really. promise.
7:40 pm
jaxx7
We won't tell, will we Bugs?
7:40 pm
72 Temple Owl
bananas give me nightmares.
7:40 pm
saanichcat
bananas?
7:40 pm
jaxx7
That's unusual
7:41 pm
saanichcat
do you know why TO?
7:41 pm
Bugsaw
I have never considered that food could cause nightmares. Huh
7:41 pm
72 Temple Owl
oh no, it's the kitten scene!
7:42 pm
jaxx7
Put your hands up in front of your face and peer through your fingers. that will help
7:42 pm
saanichcat
thanks Bugs and jaxx for the great stories!I needed a laugh and just roared about the anchor
7:43 pm
jaxx7
Cheese is well known for it but I have never heard of bananas before
7:43 pm
72 Temple Owl
i think it is the heaviness.
7:43 pm
Bugsaw
me too Saanich. That would be my ADHD guy
7:44 pm
jaxx7
He's done it before so that was his last anchor so fishing has been replaced by cockle raking until he can get another.
7:44 pm
saanichcat
too funny.
7:44 pm
Bugsaw
I also enjoyed " check the undercarriage" for the sex
7:44 pm
Bugsaw
I say again, Their poor mother
7:45 pm
jaxx7
Well, ladies, it is 1.45 am here so i must away to my bed. Lovely cahatting to you. Look after yourselves.
7:45 pm
saanichcat

7:45 pm
Bugsaw

7:46 pm
Bugsaw
I thought so too saanich. I think it did have boozer one day but I cud be mistaken
7:46 pm
jaxx7
I have to re 6 the temptation to stay
7:46 pm
saanichcat
re -- to avoid arrest
7:46 pm
Bugsaw

7:47 pm
jaxx7

7:47 pm
saanichcat

I have found 93 words, and I still have three blank tiles, the second column t, the second column d, and the u. Could someone please tell me that they're all utterly improbable words?
7:49 pm
saanichcat
I have had all my basement doors open and there is a DEER in my basement! Back soon...
7:50 pm
72 Temple Owl
WHAT??? BE CAREFUL< THEY PANIC!
7:50 pm
Bugsaw
second column t has 4 letters but not a familiar word, Douglas
7:50 pm
72 Temple Owl
oh my! really, she could be injured. they go mad when confined.
7:50 pm
saanichcat
she's gone now, they live up the hill
7:50 pm
Bugsaw
she will wander out saanich. be safe she doesn't panic and slash you with her hoofs
7:50 pm
72 Temple Owl
they went downstairs?
7:51 pm
Douglas
Sounds a lot like one of the Black Hawks
7:51 pm
72 Temple Owl
one crashed through a neighbor's picture window.
7:51 pm
saanichcat
basement is half above ground so the doors are ground level
7:52 pm
Bugsaw
I don't watch hockey any more, sorry.
7:53 pm
72 Temple Owl
i see. there are so many here. there are roads i will not travel come dusk. they are everywhere. no predators.
7:53 pm
saanichcat
but I did have one come on the deck, eat all my favourite flowers and then wander into the living room for more succulents…he had antlers so just let him know I was there and backed off
7:53 pm
Bugsaw
the u is a 4 letter babblet and without knowing which d word you need it is hard to help there. You might have to list
7:54 pm
Bugsaw
I don't have house plants any more either. The cats always leave the door open and I am sure the deer would come in here too
7:55 pm
Douglas
Thanks. I'm declaring moral victory. Happy Babbling, all!
7:55 pm
72 Temple Owl
my word! and i thought a bird in the house was bad.
7:55 pm
saanichcat
good plan Bugs. Have you got g;orius rain? Smells amazing
7:56 pm
Bugsaw
we just had a light shower. it helped but very little
7:57 pm
