2:19 am
grannyrose
not too bad. did the washing. and that's all folks... lolll
2:19 am
sprite
that is more than enough. Well done.
2:19 am
grannyrose
how are you honey?
2:20 am
sprite
pretty good. One more week to go, lol.
2:20 am
grannyrose
i have nearly caught up on all my emails.... the ones i needed to send. how is Terra doing?
2:21 am
grannyrose
yeah!!! and my infusion is next monday. we won't know ourselves and each other.. * grin *
2:21 am
sprite
we are not entirely sure. He seems a bit slower and less happy than the first days after the vet visit.
2:22 am
sprite
lollll rose! I am glad your infusion is near.
2:24 am
grannyrose
i keep meaning to ask you if you have organised for someone to be with you 24/7 for the first few days home. does not have to be just one person.
2:24 am
grannyrose
could the antibiotics be causing him some grief?
2:25 am
sprite
well, funny you should say that... just found out that rob and caya are away on a canoeing course weekend and tim will be starting his introduction week at the university. Looks like I'll be home alone.
2:25 am
sprite
yeah that is what I think too, rose. A bit whoozy and tired because of the antibiotics and the painkiller.
2:26 am
grannyrose
sweetie you cannot be alone. the effects of the anaesthetic continue for a few more days. could a friend/s be rostered to call in?
2:27 am
grannyrose
well done sprite
2:27 am
sprite
*giggles* and now for some real babbling...
2:28 am
sprite
yeah I'll talk things over with Rob. We have great neighbours and I am sure they are willing to check on me. And I will be up and about an hour or two after the operation already... so I guess it will all work out.
2:29 am
grannyrose
honey, please listen to me. the pain is going to be more than you could possibly imagine. remember when pugs came home the same day?
2:32 am
sprite
they give adequate pain medication, thank God. There is an elevated risk of blood clotting, so they actually make you walk the same evening and implore you to walk a couple of times a day from day one.
2:34 am
grannyrose
you will probably be given injections for blood clotting too. oh God. why don't i live around the corner or even in the same country?
2:35 am
sprite
yes, we will be taught how to give ourselves those injections and we need to do that once or twice a day (depending on body weight) for the first two weeks.
2:36 am
sprite
please sweetie, don't worry about me. All is under control and it will be fine. This hospital is Centre par excellence for this operation. They have everything covered. And I am careful too.
2:37 am
grannyrose
i'm second on the list to be told you are home, right?
2:38 am
sprite
as soon as I can, I will climb the stairs and email you
2:38 am
grannyrose
don't you have a laptop, honey?
2:39 am
sprite
no darling, only a pc
2:40 am
grannyrose
aaaggghhhh!!!!!! now i am gonna really get worried. darn, darn, darn.
2:40 am
sprite
you know what, please email me your telephone number. I will try and give you a ring. What is the time right now for you?
2:40 am
grannyrose
right niw it is 5:40pm Wednesday
2:42 am

2:57 am
dcseain
Yay painted fence, hi liz :)
2:58 am
Lizlin
You can do that anyway, Sprite.
2:58 am
Lizlin
Hi Dc! Whole new sets of laws here about pool fencing :( costs a fortune.
2:59 am
sprite
nah. What's a little bit of post-op pain compared to what rose and pugs and ruby are suffering?
2:59 am
dcseain
ah, a homeowners association or local council change requirements on you?
3:00 am

Good point but an op is an op! So you're welcome to whinge as much as you want.

3:01 am

ugh it is a phantom grid!
3:01 am
sprite
at your own risk, rose. Realise though that I might start singing...
3:02 am
grannyrose
i might add i will have the water pistol, loaded and ready.
3:02 am
sprite
that might be wise
3:02 am
Lizlin
Govt. regs are all about raising money in my opinion.
3:03 am
grannyrose
of course they are, liz. they need the money to pay the officials to sit there and harass the living daylights out of good honest citizens.
3:04 am
grannyrose
and i am NOT a cynic....
3:04 am
sprite
amen to that, Liz, amen to that. "Hey, we could use some more money. Hmmm let's see, what can we think up? Right! From now on every house owner is obliged to have a regulation sticker on the front gate. Cost sticker: 100 dollar. Cost visit regulation guy: 500 dollar. Let's make it a yearly checkup. And a new sticker as soon as this one starts fading... so let's make it a lousy quality..."
3:05 am
Lizlin
This stupid certificate has to be renewed every 2 years - an of course the inspector needs to be paid. Me a cynic too!
3:05 am
Lizlin
$25 for a CPR poster, which like you say, will probably fade.
3:06 am
grannyrose
you simply cannot let your standards drop lizgirl.

Yaa for new T.V , Sukee! You will love your new smart T.V--once you rip your hair out for an hour programming it:)
6:23 am

I remember my first hour with my new one. After an hour, I was ready to fling it out the door and run down to the reuse centre and get a nice antique tube radio and huddle in a corner, shake, and listen to music.
6:26 am
crosshair
I highly recommend going down to your nearest electronics store like Staples, spend 25 dollars and get a wireless USB keyboard mouse combo exclusively for your new smart t.v. it will aid in inputting codes, plus these things play Babble very nicely:)
6:27 am
crosshair
These tvs will also play video clips and movies directly from a USB key. Very handy
6:44 am
crosshair
I also run a typewriter program called "Omm Writer" in it from a USB key. That way, when I am feeling lazy, I can work on my books or short stories while reclining in my la-z-boy chair:)

Nope, no estate taxes. It was pretty straight forward. His will left everything to my mom, so no probate. It's just the income taxes.

5:55 pm
hurshy
moving. currently in the unpacking stage.
5:56 pm
72 Temple Owl
ah, yes.
5:57 pm
MollyL
I have to wear a back brace
when I schlep heavy boxes or
I throw my back out
5:59 pm
hurshy
well it's weird cause it's not LOWER back, like heavy lifting can cause, it's just this knot in my upper right back
5:59 pm
72 Temple Owl
bending,twisting.
5:59 pm
hurshy
if someone used my email address to sign up for an instagram account, and it wasn't me, does that mean i should change my email pwd, or is all i need to do tell instagram, this is not me
6:00 pm
MollyL
Oh, you can mess with your
upper back like TO said, bending,
twisting, pulling, pushing
6:01 pm
72 Temple Owl
i think try telling them if you can get a real person
6:01 pm
72 Temple Owl
for fun, try seeing what is posted
6:05 pm
MollyL
There is a massive amount of
hacking going on regarding email.
It's always a good idea to change your
password if you find out your email address
has been used or compromised.
6:06 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes. there is .and i got that crazy "youre computer has a dangerous virus, call microsoft"waning yesterday when I clicked on a fb item
6:07 pm
hurshy
well it's like, just cause they use the EMAIL address, that doesn't have to mean they have the pwd, does it? but it's just worrisome cause I've been using lots free wifi, since I won't have it at home yet for another week
6:08 pm
MollyL
Oh my, hackers love people who
use free wifi
6:08 pm
hurshy
but i don't have a choice right now
6:09 pm
hurshy
so i feel like i should wait and change pwds on things AFTER i get secure home wifi
6:09 pm
hurshy
gee my husband is being kept much later than he thought he would be
6:10 pm
MollyL
Just don't use free wifi to access your
bank, credit cards or anything else that
deals with financial stuff. And that means
Amazon, because most people have credit
card information on file there
6:10 pm
72 Temple Owl
do you have avast? that helps
6:11 pm
72 Temple Owl
to change the subject, i want to make cookies that will not melt in the heat. any ideas?
6:12 pm
hurshy
cookies that will not melt... wouldn't like, lots of kinds not melt?
6:12 pm
MollyL
Oatmeal raisin
6:12 pm
hurshy
oatmeal... shortbread... peanut butter... never heard of any of these "melting"
6:12 pm
72 Temple Owl
that is a good one. i thought snickerdoodles
6:12 pm
72 Temple Owl
i hate pb cookies
6:12 pm
hurshy
i mean anything that doesn't have like a candy chocolate kind of component i would imagine it would be fine
6:13 pm
hurshy
i bought some snickerdoodles at a bakery recently, quite good.
6:13 pm
MollyL
It's funny, I like peanut butter
but I am not fond of peanut butter
cookies
6:13 pm
72 Temple Owl
i made the chocolate browmie sea salt ones, cannot cope with other melters
6:16 pm

back with a question. is it possible to make naan crisp up?
6:32 pm
Lizlin
Not sure about naan - but I do make pita crisps - split pita, low oven for about 20 mins - perhaps the same theory would apply.

72 Temple Owl

my screen is all messed up, teeny tiny, tile stats scrambled...is there something going on...I upgraded to Win 10...could that be it?
8:23 pm
MollyL
No, there is some glitch in this program. The chat log was all blown wide earlier today. Try refreshing.
8:25 pm
MPittore
refreshed but still the same mess...the screen jumps around and sometimes gets highlighted in blue....reminds me of the 60's, LOL
8:26 pm
MollyL
I can't speak to whether or not this program is compatible to Windows 10. I am refraining from updating until I hear more about how people are doing with it.
8:27 pm
MollyL
Or compatible with
8:27 pm
MPittore
yes I should have done that also...lost all my bookmarks...harumph!
8:28 pm
MollyL
Also, it depends on what kind of device you are using. People seem to have problems with this site on tablets or smaller screen devices.
8:30 pm
MollyL
It is always good to keep a list of your bookmark urls in a Word Document in case you lose them somehow.
8:30 pm
MPittore
Nah....same ole' 'puter I've had for a few years...I thought maybe someone had a picture that was making the screen jump...that used to happen and Jillibus used to get them to correct it....oh well will enlarge print so I don't have to strain my eyes...thanks anyway...
8:30 pm
MollyL
But they should have imported with the upgrade.
8:31 pm
MollyL
Are you having trouble with other sites? Because like I said, this site has been glitchy today.
8:31 pm
MPittore
Yes you are right but apparently there are many complaints about the issue...the orgs are fighting it out like a bund of children...will get resolved one day
8:32 pm
MPittore
Nope only site with hiccups is babble...just annoying but I can deal...
8:33 pm
MollyL
It's probably the problems going on here then. There is nothing I hate more than losing my bookmarks.
8:33 pm
MPittore
...maybe I need to slap my 'puter a bit, LOL
8:34 pm
MPittore
amen, molly....miss my bookmarks...had them just like I wanted them...
