A bit sore today, I cut down the amount of Advil I am taking. It should be fine in about an hour. I took both pills :)
7:34 am

I did manage to sleep through the night without the Advil so that is good, but I woke up very sore :)

When do you see the doctor again?

He hasn't said, I guess when my pills are finished.

They basically said come back if it gets worse.
7:41 am

Why dont you go in and have the doctor take a look at the rash?
7:42 am

Maybe next week :) I have to go in for blood tests soon anyway.

"Not writing something formal" is why grammar is ignored all over the internet.

i understand....but i am more irritated by the news person saying "off of" twice in one week... ;o)
6:25 pm

But enough about that because people here get bitter when I bring up the over use of the exclamation point. Even people who have also brought it up themselves.
6:26 pm

Good evening, all.
I remember a Pope's visit to Boston--I don't remember which Pope--but I have to say, as much security as there was, it did not feel like the city was on lockdown the way the descriptions of Philly read in the press.

Aloyisius
I flunk fairy tales tonight
10:02 pm
Nef
Hi, Aloy. Yes, you did flunk fairy tales 101 tonight! ;-)
10:03 pm
Aloyisius
sigh..
10:03 pm
Aloyisius
hi Nef
10:04 pm
Nef
hi Aloy. Don't worry; I seem to flunk lots of *much* more important things in my grandson's life (such as Mine Craft)
10:05 pm
Aloyisius
well, I am an utter failure bc I can't find the bears on Candy Crush
10:06 pm
Aloyisius
not to mention, I can't clear the jelly either! woe is me
10:06 pm
Nef
I don't even know what Candy Crush is; & thankfully, neither does my grandson yet.
10:06 pm
Aloyisius
oh oh, watch out.. my granddaughter got me into it
10:08 pm
Nef
I do have friends who are hooked on it; & I've decided that I didn't want to even open it.
10:10 pm
Aloyisius
funny thing is, I was practicing so I could do better when I was with my gdaughter at the family reunion.. but she couldn't play bc her dad (wise man that he is) had limited "screen time" for the weekend.
10:11 pm
Aloyisius
he didn't want her nose stuck in an Ipad while relatives were getting together..
10:13 pm
Nef
Good FOr him! I limit my grandson's time on electronics; when he's here every Friday night we have an occasional pajama party wher we may watch a childrens movie (less than an hour); but on Saturday mornings; he has to climb into my Lazy Boy and we must watch Curious George together on PBS.
10:14 pm
Nef
The rest of the time; no electronics.
10:14 pm
Nef
(Sorry, my typing is slow & poor tonight)
10:15 pm
Aloyisius
sounds great.. it was "Sponge Bob" when I was with my gdaughter.. how old is your grandson? My gdaughter just turned 8
10:15 pm
Aloyisius
which reminds me.. have to order some pajamas for her doll

lshult
looking for the second 9??? got fo9/108
10:17 pm
Nef
He's 6. Our son (his dad) is a QA supervisor for a small company that designs apps & web pages, so HE doesn't think that it's so bad that Ronald is hooked into electronics so much; but *I* worry about it
10:18 pm
Aloyisius
de 9.96 is the second one
10:19 pm
Aloyisius
think you have good reasons for concern, Nef.
10:20 pm
Nef
thanks for the 9's Aloy.
10:21 pm
Aloyisius
yw, have never used that de9 word
10:21 pm
Nef
Kids today are so different than when I was young & when our kids were young.
10:22 pm
Aloyisius
wonder if other generations have said the same thing
10:24 pm
Aloyisius
well, time for me to scoot.. ty for the chat: happy babbling!
10:24 pm
Nef
I make him go outside; but he has never been outside without supervision; so we go out & play pirates, or he swings on a 1 rope swing, & I encourage him to climb trees & use his imagination
10:24 pm
Nef
Niters ALoy!
10:27 pm
lshult

10:39 pm
lshult
