good morning all

good morning my darling friend. {{hugs}} how was your night and your yesterday? xoxox
3:23 am
sprite
ah there she is! *hugs* my darling. How was your day?
My yesterday was bumpy, lol... had to have bloodwork done in the hospital... of course I had taken very good care to put the papers in a safe spot, seeing how I had to keep them handy for 6 months... and of course I couldn't remember where!
3:25 am
sprite
but I solved the problem by calling them and asking for new papers. What's a bit of ego-loss compared to even more hours of searching, right?
3:25 am
grannyrose
*rolls eyes* oh i know that very well. i now use a magnet and stick them on the fridge door.
3:25 am
sprite
we have a built-in fridge that does not hold magnets. Before that, I did the very same thing!
3:27 am
sprite
how did your day go, darling? And yesterday?
3:28 am
grannyrose
yesterday was ash wednesday so church at 1000am. spent the rest of it sitting quietly. today went to have the little cardiac monitor removed, lunch out with my darling man then home to again sit in the A/C.
3:29 am
sprite
wow, nice going on the pacing!
3:30 am
grannyrose
lolll, i had a good teacher. xoxox
3:31 am
sprite
*giggles* the best teachers are the ones that need to learn it themselves the most!

I will not be online a lot the next few days. My friend is coming to stay for a couple of days, and we usually are up early together and enjoy talking miles a minute over coffee. Will miss you though.
3:34 am
grannyrose
okay. i will see you if/when i see you. i hope you have a lovely time with her.
3:35 am

always do :)
3:36 am

I am doing a nightshift tonight. So am gonna do the grocery shopping today, then all I have to do tomorrow is laundry and cooking dinner. Rob will pick up Cobi from the train.
3:37 am

way to go honey.
3:39 am
sprite
have the spasms subsided fully now?
3:41 am
grannyrose
yes dear. at least the big ones have. still having little tics every now and again. i think it's a combo of the FM and sleep apnoea.
3:47 am
sprite
)#&#(&#( &(&#( windows update. So sorry. Spontaneous reboot... back now.
3:48 am
grannyrose
ugh, don't you just hate it when your puter does that??
3:48 am
sprite
sounds like you hit it on the nose there, rose. Bad combination. Are you being good about putting on the breathing machine right when you go to bed?
3:49 am
sprite
I hate it when machines do something I didn't tell them to. And windows update is evil. It doesn't kindly ask me: "I want to reboot now. Yes or no?" It simply closes whatever you are working on and just goes right ahead.
3:50 am
grannyrose
i am now sweetie
3:50 am
sprite
good girl. I know it is not fun. But it seems to help against the spasms, so worth it, right?
3:53 am
grannyrose
yes it is worth it. i can go to sleep and not be woken up by which bit of wants to throw itself around... lol

jn is a hindu word. now why on earth would we ever use it in our everyday conversation?
3:56 am
grannyrose
ahhh, the pt appears to be an alternative word for tisane
3:56 am

no idea, but I love it. For some reason, I love words that in my own narrow language-awareness would have been impossible.

Good morning all. Brr, the cold winter weather is back
5:29 am
lbdawger
good morning, Sukee
5:47 am

Howdy, sukee. Bit frosty this morning :)
5:48 am
crosshair
Not as cold as they thought, only minus 13, but the snow squalls and wind we are having up here are pushing the chill down to minus 24; ) good news is--no mosquitoes :)
5:50 am
sukee
-15 here, tomorrow they expect around -21. We got too used to mild weather. But, maybe this will finally clean out my sinuses :)
5:50 am
sukee
Been congested all winter.
5:51 am
sukee
Hey good news with the cardiologist. Whatever I had was very minor and I don't need more tests. Just keep taking meds and see him next year.
5:54 am
Lizlin
That's awesome news, Sukee. Very happy for you.
5:54 am
sukee
I was a big relief.
5:54 am
Lizlin
I can imagine.
5:55 am
crosshair
Good news, Sukee :)
5:55 am
sukee
He said i am on the lowest dose of the meds possible "the old lady" regime :)
5:56 am
Lizlin
Did he think there was any prospect of not needing the meds in the future?
5:56 am
Lizlin
Should've said, hi all :)
5:57 am
sukee
He didn't say. He did suggest trying the Diabetes Association diet which is heart healthy. I guess we will see in a year. I'm sure my doctor will send me for the same test again then. It would be nice to stop the meds because they give me indigestion. Probably going to have to start taking something for that :)
5:58 am
Lizlin
Hope it works for you.
5:58 am
sukee
I just have to start that diet :)
5:58 am
Lizlin
Hope it's a tasty diet!
5:59 am
sukee
But I was looking at it and it has some of my favorites like potatoes and pasta.
5:59 am
Scrabbler
Hi folks. Babble Expert won't open for me.
5:59 am
Lizlin
Hi Scrabbs
5:59 am
sukee
He did suggest only 2 eggs a week and red meat only twice a week; which is fine because I mostly have chicken or fish.
6:00 am

Hi, it opened for me

Good afternoon everyone. I am stumped with this grid so maybe I can chat instead :)
6:01 am
Lizlin
Sounds like a good way of eating Sukee.
6:01 am
Lizlin
I also don't like this grid too much. I just listed at 50 but will probably leave most of the rest until tomorrow.
6:01 am
Scrabbler
Hi Kaytee. Sometimes chatting is more fun.
6:02 am
KayteeJay
I see mention of a Diabetes diet that allows carbs? That's insanity, carbs are sugar!!
6:02 am
sukee
I guess as long as you don't overdo it.
6:02 am
KayteeJay
Scrabbler, yes, I'm at work and it's lunch time so taking a break from thinking lol
6:03 am
bichon
I'm on a low carb diet because of diabetes. The carbs I eat are whole grain
6:04 am
sukee
Just looked at a diet that said you should have one starch each meal, including potatoes, whole grain breads or noodles.
6:05 am
KayteeJay
bichon, we follow Banting - low carb, high fat. Has had amazing results with diabetics. I haven't had carbs or sugar since September and have never felt healthier. Starch is poison, not natural to the human digestive system :)
6:05 am
bichon
potatoes are bad on a diabetic diet. I have to eat unrefined carbs which prevnt constipation
6:06 am
sukee
Well, since I am not a diabetic, I guess it might affect me differently.
6:06 am
Lizlin
Good night from here - 40 left for tomorrow. Enjoy your days.
6:07 am
KayteeJay
The only carbs we have are those that are found in vegetables, and it's limited to something like 50g a day
6:07 am
Scrabbler
Sleep well, LIzlin
6:07 am
KayteeJay
I'm not diabetic either, started this lifestyle when my daughter gave up carbs. It's helped my arthritis fantastically
6:07 am
bichon
I have a whole grain cereal every morning, plus flax meal
6:07 am
sukee
Take care Liz
6:08 am
KayteeJay
g'night Lizlin
6:08 am
sukee
Maybe I will look into that one, I have a bit of arthritis in my hands.
6:08 am
sukee
I usually have oatmeal or Wheatabix for breakfast :)
6:08 am
bichon
don't all of us seniors have a touch of arthritis somewhere
6:09 am
sukee
Well, I'm not quiet a senior yet :D
6:09 am
KayteeJay
sukee, my daughter did a lot of research on Banting and LCHF and Paleo. When she saw the results for arthritis she decided to rope me in too :)
6:09 am
sukee
It would be hard for me to give up potatoes :)
6:09 am
sukee
not quite a senior yet that is
6:10 am
KayteeJay
I have bacon and eggs for breakfast, fried in real butter. Coffee with cream. Or a double cream yoghurt
6:10 am
Scrabbler
What does a vegetarian do? I sort of follow a Paleo vegetarian diet.
6:11 am
sukee
Anyway, speaking of that. I need to make some breakfast.
6:11 am
KayteeJay
Before I started I was convinced I'd simply EXPIRE if I couldn't eat bread, but actually it hardly seems to matter. The high fat food keeps you full so you end up eating a helluva lot less. I've lost a lot of weight and gone down 2 dress sizes.
6:11 am
sukee
Take care all.
6:11 am
KayteeJay
Bye sukee
6:12 am
KayteeJay
Scrabbler, I'm not sure. I know no soy is allowed. But the vegetarians do just fine
6:15 am
Scrabbler
I do fine--lots of yogurt, nuts, veggies, eggs.
6:25 am
Scrabbler
Time to get ready for work. Enjoy the day.

I see we are talking about healthy diets. My beloved had to get some blood work done last week because she has been feeling unwell. Our doctor actually CALLED US to come in today to talk about Vicki's blood sugar levels. Not looking forward to this. The doctors never call us unless there is nasty stuff coming our way :(
6:42 am

10:57 am

rururocks
more literal than that nan
10:58 am

10:59 am

it's the biggest race falling into that category around

pt clue, please?
11:03 am
rururocks
people often confuse that with Donald Trump though Molly
11:03 am
phaeton
is that like having the back door trots?
11:05 am
MollyL
I just got finished reading a defensive rant for Trump that left me shell shocked. I have a bad feeling that this country is going to pay a high price for letting the liberals run the show for so long.
11:05 am
cybernan
I am just so thankful that your president does not have the same powers as our PM --- and surely even Donald wouldn't be stupid enough to push the red button
11:05 am
phaeton
what liberal was running the country?
11:06 am
therealblah
"letting" anyone run the country? It's called electing, not allowing.
11:07 am
therealblah
And isn't this the same country that elected Ted Cruz lol
11:08 am
cybernan
I think that you can thank the press for the Donald effect --- if they ignored him like they have the other candidates, maybe there wouldn't be such a problem. Wouldn't it be nice to have news instead of sensationalism?
11:08 am
rururocks
yeah well.. he came from Canada though :D
11:09 am
phaeton
I feel that every thing Obama tried to get thru got blocked by Congress, which is primarily Republican. So actually they were "running" the country.
11:09 am
therealblah
Can Canada take him back please? :D
11:09 am
rururocks
yes.. that'd be awesome.. and Justin Bieber too
11:09 am
cybernan
who - Cruz? -- no thanks
11:09 am
therealblah
We can throw Justin in as a bonus
11:10 am
therealblah
True phae, so it's hard to see how "liberals" are running the country
11:10 am
cybernan
no to justin and you can keep charlie sheen too
11:11 am
cybernan
pt 6 please?
11:11 am
therealblah
Agree on the media effect nan...John Kasich actually seems to be somewhat reasonable but he gets no air time as he's not obnoxious
11:12 am
rururocks
I would think that Canada would welcome back that little shit
11:12 am
