5:12 am

mattygroves

I had a bunch of irons but they've melted. I am lucky in that I have funds (sadly because my mum died) but I'm getting a bit stir crazy!

5:38 am

mattygroves

That's the only in5, Gran

5:38 am

sprite

pretty good. Slept well, eating was ok yesterday too, all progressing nicely. How are you doing, matty?

5:40 am

mattygroves

I haven't stabbed anyone nor set anyone on fire, so I call that a win! I am meeting a friend for lunch today, which'll be nice. There will be traffic chaos for the next month and a half or so because of the Rugby World Cup (I live 2.5 miles from Twickenham Stadium)

5:41 am

sprite

oh, that counts for a good day indeed, lol! And ugh, very unpleasant, all that chaos around your home.

5:41 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and good morning dearest sprite.

5:42 am

mattygroves

The main road near it (the A316) will be shut before, during and after each match. It will be a right royal pain

5:42 am

grannyrose

how was your night? and how was yesterday? is all well still, honey?

5:42 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend, a very good evening to you. How are you feeling today?

5:42 am

sprite

yes, all is well here. Had a friend visiting this morning, enjoyed her company! Slept well, eating is ok, all cool.

5:42 am

grannyrose

the local anaesthetic has worn off in my left hip. very stingy.

5:43 am

sprite

aw that is painful :( *healing vibes*

5:44 am

grannyrose

how lovely that you have had a visitor. will stop some of the stir craziness. maybe it is catchy from matty... lolll

5:44 am

sprite

lolol

5:45 am

mattygroves

:D

5:46 am

mattygroves

Is the re7 and re8 related at all to the re6 before it?

5:46 am

sprite

no. Though close in form.

5:46 am

sukee

Good morning

5:47 am

sprite

morning sukee :)

5:47 am

mattygroves

Aah - never mind - found it :D

5:47 am

sprite

good :)

5:49 am

sukee

Going to the gym for the first time in almost 2 weeks.

5:49 am

sprite

wow nice going, sukee. I am starting again after 4 weeks too, next week.

5:52 am

sukee

Still in pain today but it will lessen once the pills kick in :)

5:52 am

sprite

did you get good medicines now?

5:53 am

sukee

The pain killer I have seems to work when combined with Advil.

5:53 am

sukee

One is for the nerve pain, the other for the imflammation.

5:53 am

sprite

ah ok. I am glad something helps to ease the pain a little.

5:53 am

sprite

nerve pain is the worst.

5:54 am

sukee

I slept through most of last night, woke up around 5:00.

5:54 am

sukee

The pain seem to radiate to my back, and it feels like there is a knife in it.

5:54 am

sprite

that is at least some progress. I hope you will be able to sleep through the night soon

5:55 am

sprite

it is awful to be in pain :( *very gentle hugs*

5:55 am

sukee

Oh well, I have been going to bed around 9 and reading so it's not so bad.

5:55 am

sukee

Yes it is :)

5:56 am

sukee

Anyway, I have to go get ready. Take care.

5:56 am

sprite

you too, all the best :)

5:56 am

grannyrose

back. all done and dusted here. sukee, gentle hug for you dear. you have my utmost empathy for the nerve pain. it is the most annoying pain ever.

5:57 am

sprite

amen to that

5:58 am

grannyrose

sprite i won't be here tomorrow. we are going out for dinner. don's street theatre group from when he was in his teens get together once/year just to keep in touch.

5:59 am

sprite

oh how lovely, darling, sounds like fun! You go and enjoy yourself. And take care :)

6:00 am

grannyrose

i will. i hope i catch you on sunday.

6:01 am

sprite

that would be nice.

6:01 am

grannyrose

what are your plans for the next couple of days?

6:02 am

grannyrose

and i keep forgetting to ask... how is DH's sore foot and knee? and te5's ears?? are they better?

6:03 am

sprite

te5 is all good now, legs and ear have healed and eyes are going well with the eye drops now. My love still has a sore foot, knee is better though. He is very busy helping out as volunteer with the housing of refugees in amsterdam.

6:04 am

grannyrose

what a wonderful man he is, sprite. please give him a hug from me. australia is expecting the first refugees to arrive just before christmas. poor darlings!!

6:04 am

sprite

I don't have many plans. Will visit our neighbours tomorrow morning, bringing them a little gift for their baby ( I crocheted a blanket and a... what is the word... a stuffed doll to cuddle with). Bit of house cleaning and laundry. Next thursday we get friends of tim's who come to dinner.

6:05 am

grannyrose

slowly, slowly, my darling. don't make yourself sick by trying to do too much.

6:06 am

sprite

lol my love wasn't home at dinner last night because he had to bring towels... then went to bed around 8 pm, he was so tired... then came downstairs all dressed again at 11 pm, they had called him because there were no blankets. So he went and brought them... and now he is there again too. He IS a wonderful man.

6:06 am

sprite

yeah am taking it easy still. I rest a lot, sitting crocheting and watching tv.

6:08 am

grannyrose

good for you honey. i am so proud of you. i know as well as you do, that taking these slow and steady steps now are the hardest.

6:09 am

sprite

too true. Very frustrating. But I am doing well so far, I have a lot of inner peace.

6:09 am

grannyrose

that is such good news, sprite.

6:10 am

sprite

:) Took a lot of hard work for a lot of years, but the results are worth it, right? You will get there too, as soon as the stress of workcover and lawsuit and benefit are over.

6:11 am

grannyrose

looking forward to that time, honey.

6:12 am

sprite

so am I, darling. I so wish it for you. I also wish there were an easier way to get there, but there isn't... you have to keep jumping through hoops until it is done, alas. But you are so incredibly strong, you will make it.

6:15 am

sprite

fireflies. Easy grid today.

6:17 am

sprite

a big *hug* for you, and take it easy, ok? Your body needs to recuperate from the overtaxing you did. Takes a couple of days.

6:17 am

grannyrose

Hello Everyone

7:06 am

Anniebrook

Hi River, How was your trip?

7:07 am

Riverdance

It was awesome. Sorry Crossy we were not able to make it up to you.

7:07 am

crosshair

I am sorry as well, Riverdance. The star just did not align to make it happen :(

7:08 am

Riverdance

I haven't walked that much in years....thank god this hip held out. We went to see 2 plays. She gave a tour of her University. We spent time on her beach. It was wonderful getting to know each other.

7:08 am

crosshair

You girls had such a tight schedule that all it would have been was some fast lunch in some town on the highway, and I did not want that.

7:08 am

Scrabbler

It looked like you and Carleekat had a blast!

7:08 am

Riverdance

and IndiaJan met us for dinner one night.

7:09 am

Anniebrook

Sounds like a great time was had by all. Very nice.

7:09 am

Riverdance

We sure did! All we had free was Sunday and we were so exhausted not getting in until 1 am from the play in Stratford. They of course we talked until almost 4 am....lol!

7:12 am

crosshair

That is why I leaft you girls to it:)

7:12 am

crosshair

left

7:13 am

Riverdance

I will go back some day.....

7:13 am

crosshair

You come visit me me and I will need 3/4 of a day:)

7:13 am

Riverdance

it was just getting there that was ridiculous....saw 4 airports each way.

7:13 am

Scrabbler

And air travel sucks.

7:14 am

Riverdance

each flight was good and short but wait time was crazy especially coming home. I think I was in Laguardia for 5 hours

7:16 am

Riverdance

the airport in Sarnia was so cute - one room only. Only small planes can go in (one seat on each side.) I think there were only 9 of us on the flight there. Maybe 15 on the way out. 4 flights a day leave there.

7:18 am

Scrabbler

But you did it and had a wonderful vacation.

7:18 am

Riverdance

Canada does not have the stand up x-ray security machines like we do so it was pat down for me.......what fun!

7:19 am

Riverdance

of course my bionics set off their security

7:20 am

Scrabbler

Your new hip, right?

7:21 am

Riverdance

thats it....

7:21 am

phaeton

hello...stats for the lone I? please

7:21 am

Riverdance

ty River

7:22 am

Riverdance

I was so proud of myself earlier getting the 9 all by myself

7:23 am

crosshair

I prefer the pat-down. As a cancer survivor, I have had many x-rays over the years. The "scatter" type machines at airports are very strong and i think they are not maintained with the exactitude and care that hospital machine are. So pat me down.

7:23 am

Scrabbler

I would love a detailed patdown by a hot TSA guy.

7:23 am

Riverdance

never thought of that

7:24 am

crosshair

Naughty Scrabby

7:24 am

Riverdance

me too but they kept calling the woman to do it....damn!

7:24 am

Riverdance

I begged and pleaded but no go....

7:25 am

phaeton

haven't seen any HOT tsa guys.

7:26 am

Riverdance

there was one cutie in Toronto

7:26 am

Scrabbler

True, phaeton. They are guys I do not want to get near.

7:26 am

crosshair

And the women are all East German ex-Olympians from the 80's..

7:26 am

Riverdance

lol

7:26 am

crosshair

they pick me up and shake me like a rag doll

7:27 am

phaeton

now doesn't that sound like a real man? lol

7:27 am

crosshair

Good hearty peasant stock a la steroids:)

7:27 am

Scrabbler

TSA employees are not pulled from the same group as law enforcement officers.

7:28 am

phaeton

I think most of them are illegals...they seem to get the jobs

7:29 am

Scrabbler

Not the most qualified employees, but that is rampant in the world, isn't it?

7:29 am

phaeton

We had one that was actually friendly in Portland, OR

7:29 am

Riverdance

I found the hand wand thing interesting.....they did not do that last year when I flew to Ireland.

7:30 am

Riverdance

I have to say they were all friendly at all 4 airports.

7:30 am

Scrabbler

I was scanned with a wand for my pediatrics board exam 2 years ago. And I had to pull up my sleeves and pants, empty my pockets...

7:30 am

Riverdance

my joy must have shined through....

7:31 am

Scrabbler

Haha

7:31 am

Riverdance

wow - many cheaters up there?

7:32 am

Riverdance

I am so stuck on this grid with 34 to go

7:32 am

Scrabbler

Early in my career the exams were done at home, "open book." Now very high security.

7:32 am

Scrabbler

I have found just 31 and do not see much yet.

7:33 am

Riverdance

I didnt think you needed to take them over again

7:33 am

Scrabbler

Now I must get ready for my day. Errands this morning, then working the afternoon, and on call til Monday 0800.

the exciting part's going to be getting them in kennels.. i drugged their breakfast, we'll see if that slows them down any.

10:34 am

therealblah

hope their breakfast was not your chickens ;)

10:35 am

jesdraggon

nah. went with a can of dog food because that's easier to shove pills in. I have not fed them chickens... turkeys, rabbits, a fawn, a rat, a bunch of little birds, and a couple moles.

sorry, Judi

10:37 am

Judi

Raising wild dogs, jes?

10:37 am

jesdraggon

Coyotes are adorable babies, Judi

10:39 am

Judi

Oh, how sweet. What a neat experience for you.

10:40 am

rururocks

she's adopting a pack of hyenas after these guys get places

10:40 am

jesdraggon

not actually - it's very frustrating. I only got them a week ago; before that, someone had been keeping them in her barn, feeding them puppy chow. NOT a good way to prep them for surviving the winter in the wild.

10:40 am

jesdraggon

oh, man. hyenas are FABULOUS

10:40 am

jesdraggon

unlikely to show up in my area though.

10:40 am

Judi

Eeech. Hyenas are gross.

10:40 am

rururocks

you kidding me.. in your area you never know

10:41 am

jesdraggon

heh. true, but if they show up here, it's because someone imported them, and I wouldn't be releasing them to the wild.

10:41 am

jesdraggon

I do have to wonder what the plan is if the woman with the tigers dies though...

10:41 am

jesdraggon

why do you think hyenas are gross, Judi?

10:42 am

Judi

They are just nasty animals.

10:44 am

jesdraggon

hah. most large carnivores are 'nasty'. what makes hyenas different? they're fascinating - a feline predecessor that went through convergent evolution to look SO close to a canine that most people think they're canines.

10:44 am

therealblah

interesting jes, i did not know that

10:48 am

jesdraggon

they're badass enough to stand off lions, and you've gotta love a critter with a reputation for brutal matriarchy, right?

10:49 am

rururocks

plus judi... they laugh at anything

THis is true. Good audience plants for lackluster comedians.

Nef

Good Afternoon. This has been a fun grid but now I'm slowing down; how is it going for you?

3:12 pm

Soodle

Hi Nef, and anyone else here :-)

3:12 pm

Nef

It looks like there are lots of people here; just noone who feels talkative right now, Soodle!

3:13 pm

Nef

How are you ( I rarely am online at this time, haven't seen you for a while)

3:13 pm

Soodle

And that's OK, Nef! I seldom feel like chatting these days.

3:14 pm

Nef

(love your icon, I know quite a few people who need that!) ;-)

3:14 pm

Nef

(((Soodle))) Last time I talked with you, you'd had some bad news. :-(

3:14 pm

Soodle

I'm OK. Have had a very nasty dose of shingles. I see Sukee has it as well. I hope it's not contagious!

3:15 pm

Soodle

How are YOU doing Nef?

3:16 pm

Nef

Supposedly, it isn't. But pregnant nurses were never allowed to care for patients with shingles back when I worked in hospitals

3:17 pm

Soodle

Well, it's unlikely to be passed along over the internet. That would be taking computer viruses a tad too far! Lol

3:17 pm

Nef

I'm hanging in there, Soodles. I need a new knee, but am trying to hold off on itfor a while (but that isn't working too well.

3:18 pm

Nef

LOL!

3:19 pm

Soodle

I hear you, Nef. I'd avoid elective surgery too. But that could be because I'm a coward! Sorry to hear you are having knee trouble.

3:20 pm

Nef

If a person has had Chicken Pox, There's an extremely high chance that they will get Shingles later in life. I've been wondering if the vaccine will prevent Shingles when those kids are old (haven't looked it up to find out; it's just one of those things that drift through my mind when I'm not near a computer)

3:21 pm

Soodle

Benjamin Button got it right. We should all be born old & decrepid, and work our way towards rude good health & finish our lives on a high.... As an orgasm!!

3:22 pm

Nef

It's just arthritis taking a toll on my joints. As DH's great uncle used to say "Those Ritis Boys are a real pain, but that art is the worst>"

3:22 pm

Nef

Great idea! :-D

3:23 pm

Soodle

Bwah ha ha!!! Unk was spot on!

3:24 pm

Nef

He was a cantankerous old guy, I absolutely loved him! (He lived until 97, I think his view on life kept him going

3:27 pm

Nef

for some reason, my word box is really slow at adding words today. I haven't gotten the dreaded red box of death yet; and chog is working fine; but there is such a lag onthe add word box I keep thinking I've mis-spelled the word

3:28 pm

Soodle

oh boy! I am very familiar with cantankerous old codgers! My Dad is 87 - in a nursing home, which he hates with every fibre of his being - and reminds me every time I visit him! My word box is also very slow - but that's because I'm slow at finding words!

3:29 pm

Nef

LOL! Be thankful you still have your Dad; and thank goodness he has the sense to know where he is & that he hates it there. (after all, you really wouldn't like him to LOVE it would you?

3:31 pm

Nef

I have 40 words left & had to go to Likety when I hit 55 left.

3:32 pm

Nef

If you'd like clues, I'll try to help

3:32 pm

Soodle

Very true, Nef! Well pointed out! I'll try to remember that when I see him tomorrow & he's accusing me of 'incarcerating' him!

3:34 pm

Nef

LOL! The AUnt who raised me was very angry that we had to put her in the nursing home (it was in our home town, I'd worked there as a teenager). Once she got settled, she loved it -but she only lived about 5 months after that.

3:34 pm

Soodle

Not at all, Nef, but thank you. I never actually expect to finish a grid. I only come on for the company! It's a bonus when I can have a one-to-one chat with a nice Babbler!!

3:35 pm

Nef

She'd been a teacher & also County Superintendant of schools (for 30 years) in the area; anyone who came to see their relatives also stopped to see their old teacher!

3:35 pm

TraderKate

may I horn in on your nice little chat?

3:35 pm

Nef

Hi Kate. you are welcome to join

3:36 pm

Soodle

come on in, Kate! The atmosphere is good! :-)

3:36 pm

TraderKate

lol.. kind of tired again, sonot much f a conversationalist these days..

3:36 pm

TraderKate

nice to see you both, I rearely see you any more...

3:37 pm

Soodle

Call it 'Selective Chatting' on my part, Kate!

3:38 pm

Nef

I hear you, Soodle; but mostof the time I don't get online until the evenings these days

3:38 pm

I had chicken pox as a child... so not looking forward tf possibly getting shingles.. there seems to be an epidemic... rarely used to hear of anyone getting it. I should look into the newer vaccines they have for shingles prevention..

3:39 pm

TraderKate

silly soodles.. if you don't speak up once in a while, you'll never know what wonderful lurker you may pull out of the woodwork..

3:39 pm

Nef

The shingle prevention vaccine isn't offered by most doctors until a person is over 60 or 65, Kate.

3:40 pm

TraderKate

really? I will check on it, but thopught anyone could get it here... heading to pharmacy today, wil ask...

3:41 pm

Nef

And unfortunately, Shingles have always been around. I just don't think people talked about their health problems as openly as they do now-a-days. (Plus the internet increases our awareness of it; we would never have heard of someone iin another country having it before

3:42 pm

TraderKate

true nef... but prior to this "outbreak" I only ever knew one person who got them.. and they were in their early 30's at the time...

3:42 pm

dcseain

My elder nephew got shingles at age 12. I was 13 when i got chicken pox. Been thinking it's likely time to start vaccination for myself.

3:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

my dr.refuses to believe i never had chicken pox. he is pushing the shingles vaccine,but perhaps i need the chicken pox vaccine instead?

3:43 pm

Soodle

Kate - take whatever steps are on offer to avoid shingles. Seriously. I got it around my mouth area. It's painful & extremely unsightly. (Typical woman! I can handle the pain, but if I look ugly.....I hide in my bedroom for weeks on end).

3:43 pm

dcseain

i thought they were one and the same vaccine.

3:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

my grandfather and my dad both got shingles.

3:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

they are called two different names then. I don't see why that would be.

3:44 pm

penquis

In the US, you don't have to be 65.....i got mine maybe four years ago....

3:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

why call it one thing for kids and another for adults?

3:44 pm

Nef

I worked as a County Health Nurse back in my home county in the early 70's; I saw some horrible cases back then. Luckily, now-a-days they have the meds that will stop it from spreading or getting really bad if caught in the first day or so

3:45 pm

TraderKate

I think you are right TO.. they are different vaccines

3:45 pm

penquis

it's not the same as chicken pox, i don't think....one just makes you more vulnerable to get the other...

3:46 pm

dcseain

ah, different indeed. Just went and read about them at CDC.

3:46 pm

Soodle

The shingles virus is also associated with (alarmingly) the herpes virus. I am very prone to cold-sores -herpes simplex.

3:46 pm

Nef

The virus that causes shingles is varicella zoster; it causes the chicken pox and then hides in the nerve roots

3:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am loath to introduce it into my body. if the virus is the same. are kids who are vaccinated then at ris for shingles later?

3:47 pm

Nef

chicken pox/ shingles virus is not the same virus that causes cold sores or herpes

3:48 pm

Nef

TO, you can have the doctor check your blood for a titer level. If you've had chicken pox; it shows up in a blood test

3:48 pm

mo

whatever ... it is still very painful and I wouldnt wish it on anyone ... having suffered it.

3:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

nef: I DID NOT HAVE CHICKEN POX I KNOW THIS FOR SURE>

3:49 pm

Soodle

There is an association, though, Nef. Or so I was led to believe. But enough of me & my woes!! Nice to see ye, Seain, TO, Pen & Mo!

3:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

NO ONE BELIEVES ME< IT IS TOTALLY FRUSTRATING>

3:50 pm

mo

hi all .. just poked my nose in!!

3:50 pm

Nef

I was sure my daughter didn't have chicken pox either TO; but her titers are positive for it. (She probably had a low-level exposure that triggered an immune response to it)

3:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

i remember. i got measles and mumps, never had rubella or pox

3:51 pm

Nef

*I* believe you, TO. But because of my daughter, I wanted you to know that

3:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

nef: i had a younger brother. we gor everything together. he did not get pox until he was a father, caught it from his kid.

3:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

nor did he have rubella.

3:52 pm

dcseain

TO, here's the vaccine safety data from CDC:

http://tinyurl.com/pzvlpf2

3:52 pm

Nef

I had chicken pox as a child (my sister & I broke out on a train while moving to montana as a child); and I had them again as an adult in 1984.

3:53 pm

Nef

Thanks Seain

3:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

does this address giving it to people who have never had the disease?

3:53 pm

Soodle

In other news.... The town I live in, Trim, Co. Meath, has just been announced as the winner of a European competition called Entente Florale! Apparently, our little town has the most pleasing flower displays in all of Europe. There will be singing & dancing in the streets tonight!

3:53 pm

TraderKate

you can get chicken px a second time??? <shudder >

3:54 pm

penquis

very nice, soodle!

3:54 pm

TraderKate

Well done to your town Soodles, quite an accomplishment!

3:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

then it makes no difference, one cannot build immunity if the disease can be had more than once, why would a vaccine work? that is not logical.

3:54 pm

HelenaB

oh yes, popping out of lurkdom to assure you you can have it twice

3:55 pm

Nef

So when I had the chicken pox as an adult, my daughter was 2 or 3 & she *was* exposed (as was her brother, & he caught them form me); but she never got even slightly itchy or and vesicles

3:55 pm

HelenaB

it has to do with the severity of the first case.

3:55 pm

mo

have a good time soodle and congratulations for winning!!!!!

3:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

then why vaccinate?

3:55 pm

gemini_J13

yes,,, if you get the vaccine the second case might not be as bad

3:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty for your concern.

3:56 pm

gemini_J13

I got the vaccine did not want a second round of shingles

3:56 pm

TraderKate

I had everything there wasn't a vaccine for when I was a kid.. measles (both), mumps, chicken pox... hated them all... chicken pos left me with one small scar where I scratched..remember having to stay in hte dark with the measles, so I couldn't even read...

3:56 pm

HelenaB

TO, the vaccine didn't exist when I was little. I had the worlds mildest case and then the worlds second-mildest case (my poor sister had it pretty bad).

3:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

bbl

3:56 pm

Soodle

Vaccinations work against infections. Shingles & chicken-pox are caused by viruses.

3:57 pm

HelenaB

however, if the vaccine existed, i'd have gotten that instead. It's a regulated dose (of course) so there's no concern with having "mild" cases and getting it again

3:57 pm

TraderKate

bye TO, take care :)

3:57 pm

HelenaB

yay science!

3:57 pm

SOODLE ... CONGRATULATIONS to tour town ... have a great night.

Wow! We went from everyone chatting at once to just me again!

4:17 pm

chog gremlins strike again!~

4:19 pm

bojazz

Soodle - did an ancestry DNA and learned 16% comes from Ireland. So, at least 16% of me is OK, right?

4:21 pm

mo

soodle .. sorry maybe too much of the wine, so I will sneek out quietly and apologise to everyone goodnight

4:22 pm

Soodle

lol, Bojazz. If you can PROVE 16% is Irish, chances are that another 34% is! So.... You are definitely in the clan. Welcome & Failte!!

4:22 pm

jesdraggon

no apologies necessary, mo, you're fine :)

4:22 pm

Soodle

Mo ! Come back!!!

4:22 pm

Nef

My sister did her DNA and she is 33% Irish, 31% English, 17% Norwegian and the rest is welsh!

4:24 pm

bojazz

68% was UK - a trace of Scandinavian, 10% from Iberian Peninsula

4:24 pm

Nef

ANd bring that wine with you, Mo! ;-)

4:25 pm

Soodle

What Nef said!!!! Nobody is allowed to leave the chat clutching a bottle. Share & share alike.

4:28 pm

Soodle

I'm boringly 100% Irish. A cousin traced the family tree back to 1750.....when we, the O'Carroll Clan were lords of Carrickafoyle Castle. How the mighty have fallen. :-(

4:28 pm

Nef

bojazz, I'm thinking that I'll get mine tested too. My sister thought that the rest of us didn't need to have ours tested; but since we aren't all carbon copies of her (she's oldest); I figure we don't all have the exact same DNA as her.

4:28 pm

bojazz

Soodle - is there a meaning behind Meath? My daughter lives in a neighborhood with Irish/Scottish names on the streets - they live on Meathward

4:29 pm

bojazz

Nef - I think it should be identical. Ancestry.com is offering the tests at a reduced price. I paid $99

4:30 pm

bojazz

last price I saw was $79

4:32 pm

Soodle

Bojazz - the literal translation of Meath from Gaelic is 'The Middle'. Could be a catch-all for many places. Scots Gaelic & Irish Gaelic are very similar.

4:33 pm

bojazz

thanx Soodle - curiosity satisfied :)

4:34 pm

Nef

Good to know, bojazz; my sister had it done through them as did my DH. I just thought it would be fun to see how similar they would be, DNA is the genes, & since your genes determine the color of you eyes, etc. I thought it would be interesting to see (my older sister is a know-it-all; so if I have a different report I wouldn't mind!) ;-)

4:36 pm

bojazz

Nef - It might not be identical, but should be very similar, I would think

4:39 pm

Nef

I would think so too. We expected to have some other (more Eastern) nationalities in the mix; especially since some of us in my Mothers family have very slanted eyes and some have very olive complexions while others are extremely fair; so we were expecting a wider variety

4:40 pm

Soodle

My 'puter is pinging with FB messages from my far-flung kids. I better go & reply. It was an absolute pleasure to log onto Babble this evening & chat without sarcastic or sardonic interruptions. Thank you all for your wonderfull company. Hope to see all you nice people again soon. Poof.

4:41 pm

bojazz

A profiler would probably say our family is quite Anglo-Saxon - we certainly look the part!

4:42 pm

Nef

I have 1 brother who is blond, blue eyed freckles, very fair skinned solidly built (not fat, just always has been fairly muscular) and the other brother is olive complexion, grey eyes, black thick hair and very thin

4:43 pm

Nef

Bye Soodle! Tkae care!

4:45 pm

Nef

The 3 of of girls are all brown eyed brunettes (or we were before my 2 sisters turned grey); some people say that we look alike, but *I* don't think so.
