1:58 am

Trifioso

just fine. not sleeping at the moment, but fine

1:59 am

Trifioso

i have taken on entirely too much work at the moment, and MAN am I learning a hard lesson!

1:59 am

sprite

*giggles* Ok, ok... it is now close to 9 am here. About an hour of me-time left

2:00 am

grannyrose

thank-you!! *rolls eyes*

2:00 am

sprite

aw poor Trif! That is a tough lesson to learn. To have to curb our enthusiasm and drive to adapt to our somewhat lesser staying power :(

2:01 am

Trifioso

that sums it up very well. it's all about rationing energy, mental and physical, and learning to live with cobwebs.

2:02 am

Trifioso

its only until march

2:03 am

sprite

you need lots of huggles, Trif. One more month to go... you will make it. I hope you will plan a full week of you-time and indulging in obscene degree once it is done.

2:03 am

sprite

phantom: engine

2:03 am

sprite

and all those phantoms ending in -ing of course

2:04 am

Trifioso

actually took a mini break today, of sorts....due to a storm we had a snow day from school, and I positively wallowed

2:04 am

Trifioso

yes, lack of "ing" is no fun

2:04 am

sprite

very good. It is the only way to make it through.

2:04 am

Trifioso

how are you sprite? rose?

2:05 am

grannyrose

i'm cruising thanx trif. pain pretty much under control at last.

2:05 am

sprite

I am fine. Was a bear of a job to get ready for today (celebration of Caya's 18th birthday) but I made it and all is ready.

2:06 am

Trifioso

how exciting sprite!!! and glad to hear rose

2:06 am

sprite

at least babble knows what a we5/28 is.

2:06 am

Trifioso

caya is such a beautiful name

2:06 am

sprite

I love her name. And she is a very beautiful person too.

2:08 am

sprite

I am so glad, rose, that your pain is manageable at long last.

2:08 am

Trifioso

gran, if you don't mind me asking, what finally was the magic solution?

2:09 am

sprite

phantom: didgeridoo (or am I pushing it now?)

2:09 am

grannyrose

btw sprite i answered your email. when you see the info in it, you are gonna be gob-smacked.

2:09 am

sprite

checking email right away...

2:10 am

grannyrose

trif. i am using a TENS machine for 2 hours twice/day. i try not to move at all while it is going. plus i am having magnesium infusions every 2-3 weeks, and ketamine infusions every 8-12 weeks.

2:11 am

sprite

woot! Sounds good, rose! So nice that they finally are making progress in researching FM.

2:11 am

Trifioso

thank you for sharing. my sister is really struggling with pain in her back, and the doctors did suggest a tens machine....i will def tell her what finally worked for you

2:11 am

Trifioso

hers is more of a sciatic situation

2:11 am

grannyrose

*giggles* i know. i was gob-smacked when i learnt about it.

2:12 am

sprite

I hope she will benefit as much as rose does

2:13 am

grannyrose

trif, i know one is encouraged to move around whilst using a TENS. but for me, i am treating nerve pain and it didn't make sense to me to be aggravating the nerve while trying to calm it down.

2:14 am

grannyrose

sprite, it just shows that FM is not a psychological condition.

2:14 am

Trifioso

absolutely rose!

2:14 am

sprite

using your own common sense is always more important than general advice

2:15 am

sprite

exactly, rose! Which we knew. Glad to see the medical profession is catching up at last.

2:18 am

Trifioso

phantom- energy. which is my case is quite prophetic

2:18 am

sprite

*giggles and sends Trif a truckload of spare energy*

2:19 am

Trifioso

ta! I have to admit, the snow today was sooooo pretty. very winter wonderland....

2:20 am

sprite

a winter wonderland that gives you a bit of you-time :D

2:20 am

Trifioso

I have about a thousand things to do around here....doing almost none of them felt wickedly indulgent.

2:20 am

sprite

which is just what the doctor ordered for you, Trif

2:22 am

grannyrose

and the world didn't stop turning because you had a day off, trif. you deserve some down time honey.

2:22 am

Trifioso

i had about ten inches of snow to deal with in my driveway, and it was so heavy. for whatever reason, it was tailor made for my snow blower. what a treasure that thing is! it took my driveway right down to the blacktop. WHen I first bought it, I was so afraid of spending the money....now I am so glad. best money I ever, every spent in terms of return on investment

2:23 am

sprite

good job!

2:25 am

Trifioso

something that is always fun about snow here is seeing all the animal footprints the next day, and trying to figure out who made which

2:25 am

sprite

oh yes. Even here, that is fun.

2:28 am

Trifioso

top row greyed - FEAR ME

2:28 am

sprite

*shakes in boots*

2:30 am

Trifioso

if soodle was here she would confirm that "fook" is a word in ireland.

2:30 am

sprite

I tried that 3 times

2:33 am

Trifioso

i adore you, sprite. I really do

2:33 am

sprite

*blushes* The feeling is quite mutual, Triffles

2:34 am

grannyrose

*giggles* a blushing sprite, quick grab a camera, it doesn't happen often.

2:34 am

sprite

hahahaha naughty rose!

2:36 am

Trifioso

i don't usually work the grid row by row, but today it's working....three down, two to go

2:36 am

grannyrose

hey i forgot to tell you, dear don bought me some new pads for the TENS machine. i didn't know how bad the others were until i put a new set on.

2:36 am

sprite

go go goooo Trif!

2:36 am

sprite

oh wow rose, that is good. Something to keep in mind... to change them often.

2:36 am

grannyrose

turned on the machine, and turned it up to where i have been setting it. after i climbed down off the ceiling...

2:37 am

sprite

lolllllll

2:37 am

Trifioso

what are the pads made of?

2:37 am

sprite

aw poor you... that must have been so painful

2:38 am

grannyrose

trif, they are gel pads which conduct the flow of "electricity" through the skin. they stick on the skin, like the pads used for taking an EKG

2:38 am

Trifioso

oh i see. thank you.

2:40 am

sprite

fireflies. Last word of course the 7.

2:40 am

Trifioso

huzzah for sprite!!!

2:40 am

grannyrose

don was highly amused. glad someone could laugh about it. yes, it was excrutiating. as i said, i didn't know how bad the old ones were.

2:40 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!! with time to spare for you to just luxuriate for a bit.

2:41 am

sprite

2:41 am

btw, trif. i use the TENS for two hours twice/day.

2:44 am

grannyrose

2:45 am

Trifioso

2:46 am

grannyrose

trif, just where is your sister up to, honey? i had sciatica really badly when i was younger. i may be able to help her.

2:47 am

Trifioso

I can ask....i am not sure it's 100 percent sciatica....I got a little lost as she described the results of her latest scans.

2:47 am

Trifioso

all I know for certain is that she is in constant pain and it is so hard to see.

2:47 am

grannyrose

trif, please give her my email addy. i will help her as much as i can.

2:47 am

Trifioso

thank you so much.

2:47 am

Trifioso

hi welki and stid

4:05 pm

stidmama

:-D

4:05 pm

stidmama

tough little grid

4:06 pm

welki

just a couple of tricky ones - you'll fly through it once you get the odd ones

4:18 pm

rururocks

some people did it in minutes. I had a little trouble finding a few.. but I didn't list though either

4:19 pm

welki

oh, it took me more than a few minutes

4:19 pm

welki

<-- not a babble savant

4:21 pm

welki

you remember when i had to go to that dinner party, the one where someone said, 'pinot newwww- waaaaar?"

4:21 pm

rururocks

yes

4:21 pm

welki

i have to do the same one again tonight - last time i saw these folks, they were claiming bragging rights to amarone. i'm thinking of bringing a flask of the strong stuff.

4:22 pm

stidmama

I am down to 17, but fighting a headache. Will be back later to try to finish. Hope you are having a fine weekend. *po4*

4:22 pm

welki

feel better, stid

4:23 pm

welki

what's the best, most expensive amarone, ru? maybe i'll tell them they should try it :)

4:23 pm

welki

feh. nevermind. not worth the effort.

4:26 pm

Soodle

Welki,,,

4:26 pm

rururocks

oh. what

4:26 pm

rururocks

the best amarone is from Quintarelli.. he's the greatest producer in all of Italy

4:26 pm

rururocks

sorry I was doing emails

4:27 pm

rururocks

his wines are very, very expensive.

4:27 pm

Soodle

God knows I am no wine expert, but, I was at a dinner party recently, when a 'wine guru' claimed to be able to tell which side of the slopes the grapes were grown on. Phooey!

4:27 pm

welki

i confess. i looked it up on google and quintarelli came up first, not bad at + $800/bottle

4:27 pm

rururocks

other great producers are Dal Forno, and Allegrini

4:27 pm

welki

oh soodle, that's the sort of folks i'll be sitting with tonight.

4:28 pm

rururocks

I would highly doubt that soodle.. I don't think very many people can do that unless they are super-tasters

4:28 pm

Soodle

Well, all I can suggest is that you will drink them out of house and home, Welki!!

4:28 pm

welki

it's a big affair, soodle - and on the table, they put rotgut wine

4:28 pm

rururocks

I can happily say I'm not a wine snob in any way

4:29 pm

welki

not that i can tell the difference - i'm a fireball sort of gal

4:29 pm

rururocks

some Quintarelli are more than $800 welki

4:29 pm

welki

ru, a gal i work with used to be a wine broker and like you, she's very down to earth and not snobby at all

4:29 pm

rururocks

his wines are magical

4:30 pm

Soodle

Ru, this 'guru' was so full of crap.... Not one person there believed him, but stupidly, we all allowed him to waffle on.... and on.....and on. I was a basket case by going-home time

4:30 pm

welki

it would be wasted on me, ru. my idea of a good wine is a mission 5 cabernet merlot

4:30 pm

rururocks

no reason to be snobby about wine.. it's just food and it just goes with food

4:31 pm

Soodle

Welki, will the food be good?

4:31 pm

welki

no.

4:31 pm

rururocks

that's what everyone in BC said when I cooked a dinner up there Welki, but when push came to shove.. they all appreciated and enjoyed the "Good Stuff" I Brought and bought in the restaurant the next night

4:31 pm

Soodle

Oh Gawd. Do you not feel a migraine coming on? (I think I would....)

4:31 pm

welki

the best part is that we only live about fifteen minutes away :)

4:32 pm

welki

then, next time you're in alberta, we can share my kitchen, either in town or at the lake

4:32 pm

rururocks

actually my dinner came out pretty well

4:32 pm

welki

soodle, the hardest part for me will be being on my best shmoozing behaviour

4:33 pm

rururocks

I have only been to Winnipeg ..

4:33 pm

rururocks

froze my ass off

4:33 pm

welki

no reason for dinner to come out anything but good, ru - some ingredients, good company - that's all you really need

4:33 pm

rururocks

fortunately grew a new one back

4:34 pm

rururocks

Jilli still hasn't recovered :D

4:34 pm

Soodle

Dear God, I hate shmoozing. I used to be good at it, then I got old, and it dawned on me that I didn't have to do that anymore. Phew

4:34 pm

welki

too bad it grew back - could be a great tourist marketing tool

4:34 pm

Soodle

LOL

4:34 pm

meliae

This grid bites lol, hello all

4:34 pm

welki

i'm an olympic schmoozer - i just hate it

4:35 pm

rururocks

I have to schmooze for a living too

4:35 pm

welki

hi, mel

4:35 pm

Soodle

Hi Mel :) So, is it a business dinner, or just with friends, Welki?

4:35 pm

welki

me too, ru - in a different way

4:35 pm

welki

business

4:36 pm

welki

'course, it'll be my luck that one of the high muckety-mucks is a babbler and reading this :)

4:37 pm

Soodle

I have the ultimate non-schmoozing event next week. I am meeting up with friends I used to work with 30 plus years ago. Not an ounce of schmooze is expected. I can't wait.

4:37 pm

Soodle

Lol Welki... how awful would that be?

4:38 pm

welki

i suppose it would result in a visit to a lawyer *lol*

4:38 pm

meliae

No clue but is the 7 a fairly common word?

4:38 pm

welki

no, no it isn't

4:39 pm

Nef

Hi stid; how are you?

6:06 pm

stidmama

((((NEF)))) I am so glad to see you. I am sad, and had a terrible stress headache that I only took medicine for an hour ago so of course it's ahead of me. But I am making progress with my students, the house is warm and dry, and Matthew has stopped by for a visit. You?

6:08 pm

Nef

I'm fine, but also sad. There is so much illness among several friends & it just weighs heavy on a person.

6:09 pm

stidmama

Yes.

6:10 pm

Nef

I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM SUE; HAVE YOU?

6:10 pm

Nef

(sorry for yelling)

6:10 pm

stidmama

Not since yesterday. I am thinking of them constantly. This is the watchfulness that is hardest.

6:13 pm

Nef

Same here. And I have 3 other people on my prayer list that are all ill also; I'm trying to send healing thoughts & prayers & strength & peace to them.

6:15 pm

stidmama

(((more hugs)))

6:16 pm

Nef

This year has started out hard, hasn't it?

6:17 pm

stidmama

Indeed. I am hoping that the turning of the lunar new year will bring joy. Although... Fire Monkey year. Could be interesting.

6:17 pm

Nef

How is school going? You sound pretty relaxed about the classroom; but stressed about the amount the kids must learn

6:18 pm

Nef

Fire Monkey year? I haven't heard of a fire monkey before?

6:22 pm

ypsigirl

woot woot! done!

6:23 pm

YAY, ypsigirl!!! WTG!!!

YAY meliae!!! WTG!!!

6:25 pm

Dang onery grid today I listed at 20 to go

6:26 pm

Nef

It's definitely not a friendly grid.; I think I listed at 18 or 20 myself

6:28 pm

stidmama

hey ypsigirl and meliae

6:29 pm

stidmama

Fire Monkey is a powerful year for people born this year or in previous monkey years. I have a son who is a Monkey.... and a sibling who is a Monkey. It will be an "interesting" year by the chinese astrology system.

6:29 pm

Nef

I'll definitely have to look it up, stid. It sounds interesting.

6:31 pm

stidmama

And yes, school is going well. I am more relaxed at the day-to-day teaching, but more stressed out about the standards that I am supposed to meet. The children are asked to do so much that is not developmentally appropriate..........

6:31 pm

stidmama

And my laptop is likely to "die" soon.

6:32 pm

Nef

oh, no. Not what you need at this time!

6:34 pm

Nef

fireworks! those last 3 (1P 7 2 We's) were invisible!

6:34 pm

stidmama

oh -- the battery is very iffy right now. I meant, I may disappear as it runs out of juice and I have to plug in.

6:34 pm

stidmama

YAY Nef!

6:34 pm

Nef

Sorry that was a P6, not a 7.

6:35 pm

stidmama

Sue is on fb at the moment... there were no updates on the caringbridge site since last night.

6:35 pm

Nef

Can you get a new battery? (I 'm not sure if you're talking about your laptop dying now; or that it tends to die all the time?)

6:36 pm

stidmama

I can, but I don't know if Tom has ordered it yet. I would love to keep this machine intact. When it was new it was top of the line and still runs circles around most newer machines.

6:36 pm

stidmama

I used to have 8-10 hours of battery life, now it's down to about 3.

6:37 pm

stidmama

FINALLY NBT

6:37 pm

Nef

Thanks, stid; I haven't been on FB today, but I didn't hear from her Caring Bridge site either

6:37 pm

stidmama

(the lower right corner was NOT obvious to me today)

6:38 pm

stidmama

Will be back online in a little while. (((Nef))) hang in there. It's hard when we are being the watchers as people we love go through hard times. I'll add you to my "list" and hold you in my heart.

6:38 pm

I found the harder words easier than I did common words, I was trying to hard lol

6:38 pm

would Batteries Plus be able to help you replace it?

Bye stid. (((hugs)))

6:40 pm

Nef

Does anyone need clues or stats from a clueless person?

If not, I'm going to go find some food. It might help... Happy Babbling.

Okay. No requests; Happy Babbling Everyone!
