good evening, flosey. Did you have a good day?
1:29 am
flosey

1:32 am
grannyrose
{{hugs}} and good morning dear sprite. {{hugs}} dear flosey

1:33 am
sprite
wow, not bad, flosey
1:33 am
flosey
hugs Rose and how are things with you today?
1:34 am
grannyrose
boyo is behaving himself. good day. podiatrist this af5noon so tootsies feel great again . and got that wretched government form in to department concerned.
1:34 am
sprite
very good, rose. Glad that is behind you. Did the boyo apologise for being a total ass, btw?
1:34 am
grannyrose
how are you feeling sprite?
1:35 am
flosey
ah good for you Rose, that must be a load off your mind getting that matter out of the way
1:35 am
grannyrose
lollll, like that is going to happen.
1:35 am
grannyrose
yes flosey. like sprite, hand me a form to fill out, and my eyes glaze over.
1:35 am
sprite
I am ok. Think I turned the corner as far as the flu is concerned. Now for getting some energy back.
1:36 am
sprite
darn the man. He is so lucky I am not nearby, hmpfffff
1:38 am
grannyrose
oh, and the gardener came today and planted out all the seedlings. snapdragons, pelargonium and also a new geranium. when they b ecome established i will definitely take pics.

flosey
or perhaps pictures!!!
1:42 am
sprite
I am sure rose wouldn't mind your visiting her, flosey
1:44 am
grannyrose
lolll....
1:44 am
flosey
would love to Sprite but it is a long flight - not sure I could handle it anymore - even flying back to Ontario is getting a bit much - but I will still go there, having 2 sons in TO
1:44 am
sprite
we need the star trek transporters so badly. Beam us over, Scotty!
1:44 am
flosey
plus a veru loving grandson!!
1:45 am
sprite
worth traveling for :)
1:45 am
flosey
have considered taking the train - might just try it next time
1:46 am
sprite
wow, that is a long train ride
1:46 am
flosey
wonder how it would feel being beamed around - an interesting thought!
1:46 am
grannyrose
brb. shopping to put away. xoxox
1:46 am
sprite
ok sweetie
1:47 am
sprite
probably very scary, the first time, flosey!
1:47 am
flosey
If I did, I'd start (ahead of time) knitting a sweater or something to fill the time
1:48 am
sprite
knitting or crocheting is a great way to fill the time while traveling, that's for sure
1:48 am
flosey
a girlfriend and I (way back in our teens) took the train from Toronto to California (school chums had moved there) then up the west coast to BC and back across Canada to TO
1:49 am
flosey
we had a ball!
1:49 am
sprite
awesome. Must have been quite an adventure.
1:50 am
flosey
it was, we kept a diary - think I must have tossed it when I packed to move out here-silly!
1:50 am
sprite
oh, that is one of the few things you should never toss out :(
1:50 am
flosey
we were really green horns! but luckily weren
1:51 am
flosey
bothered by anyone
1:51 am
sprite
that is a good thing. I believe there are special guardian angels for silly teens
1:52 am
flosey
lol, we were looked after very well, tks Sprite - I thing those guardian angels had their work cut out for them
1:53 am
flosey
we would have been 17 or 18, no more
1:54 am
sprite
so young, yet feeling so very mature
1:55 am
grannyrose
loll. sprite do you remember the toilet bowl light that don has installed?
1:55 am
flosey
strange, I had every confidence in the two of us going all that way by ourselves - our parents didn
1:55 am
flosey
didn't seem too concerned
1:55 am
sprite
children that age feel immortal and so very worldwise. Parents know better.
1:56 am
grannyrose
it has many different colours. but one, the most lovely shade of purple, removes a;ll yellow colour and when you look in the bowl af5 using it, it looks like it is full of blood-red pee. i nearly had a heart attack.
1:56 am
sprite
lol! Poor you.
1:57 am
grannyrose
very disconcerting, especially at 3am.
1:57 am
flosey
we had the rail line people create our trip for us, they had everything mapped out
1:57 am
sprite
I'd have a litter of kittens if my girl would make such a journey. But I'd keep it to myself.
1:57 am
grannyrose
so if Rob has the same 'freat' idea, tell him NO
1:58 am
sprite
hehehe he wouldn't.
1:58 am
flosey
oh my, Rose that must feel strange
1:58 am
sprite
this grid is broken. It only has 75 words but it keeps insisting it has 118.
1:59 am
grannyrose
it's a bit of a giggle actually flosey. it's really a good idea too.
1:59 am
grannyrose
rofloll sprite... the little so-and-so's are there believe me.
2:00 am
sprite
no way. *shakes grid vehemently*
2:00 am
grannyrose
don't shake too violently dear;. that loose screw may come undone and roll away under the chair.
2:01 am
flosey
44 to go and think I'll leave them for morning, need sleep, good night all
2:01 am
grannyrose
sweet dreams flosey.
2:01 am
sprite
night night flosey, sleep well, dear lady
2:02 am
sprite
there is a loose screw in the grid too??
2:03 am
grannyrose
aha, you admit you also have a loose screw ??
2:04 am
sprite
nope, all righty-tighty here. *checks belly button* Yep, ass still attached.
2:05 am
grannyrose
oh my.... LOLOLLLL
2:13 am
sprite
my turn today to shop and cook... hope I have the energy.
2:13 am
grannyrose
poor you... make it simple and easy. like soup and grilled cheese on toast...
2:14 am
sprite
mwah, we have been having that for most of last week, since we were both ill. I might opt for an oven dish.
2:15 am
sprite
I very much enjoy turning on the oven at night, sitting down with a book and saying: "Watch me cook dinner, darling."
2:17 am
grannyrose
also a good idea. doesn't leave too many dishes to wash either.
2:18 am
sprite
no indeed. And it allows me to spread the joy. Shopping in the morning, preparing oven dish in the afternoon, and just flipping the switch in the evening.
2:18 am
sprite
it is fall holiday here, so no singing lesson tonight.
2:19 am
grannyrose
nice... now that sounds like a great plan, honey
2:19 am

2:38 am
grannyrose

ruby, my Marco has an owie in his leg
5:57 am
rubyfoo
Hello, Bichon. Did he bite it open?
5:57 am
rubyfoo
Rufie does that sometimes nervously, I think
5:58 am
rubyfoo
I am temptd to givehim Xanax LOL
5:58 am
rubyfoo
Can Marco walk or is he limping?
5:59 am
bichon
No, he's been limping on it for several weeks. Had him at the Vet yesterday to examine him under sedation and x-rays. The radiologist wasnt in this week, but he is on strict rest. No jumping on the furniture [hah] and short walks. It could be hip dysplasia
6:00 am
rubyfoo
Are they prone to that?
6:00 am
bichon
No, it's usually in larger dogs.
6:00 am
rubyfoo
Raffie has a problem with a knee and limps interittently
6:01 am
rubyfoo
That's what I thought with dysplasia, usually big, heavy purebreds
6:02 am
rubyfoo
How old is Marco?
6:02 am
bichon
He's always trying to jump on the furniture
6:03 am
rubyfoo
At least you can pick him up
6:03 am
bichon
Only 13 1/2 pounds
6:04 am
rubyfoo
Rufie weighs about 75 and Raffie ONLY 60
6:05 am
rubyfoo
They are like pièces of furniture
6:06 am
bichon
I ould find it difficult to live with large dogs. Keep thinking I'd trip over them
6:07 am
rubyfoo
I've only Fallen over Rufie once and I was carrying something and not paying attention
6:07 am
rubyfoo
I usually know where they are
6:08 am
bichon
That wouldbe me. I am rather clumsy
6:08 am
rubyfoo
The big problem with such big dogs is getting them into the car
6:09 am
bichon
There's that too.
6:09 am
rubyfoo
Raffie needs a haircut, but I can't find a groomer to come to the house, even if I offer to pay double or triple
6:09 am
rubyfoo
Chows have bad reputationsand are very rare here
6:10 am
bichon
We have mobile grooming vans here
6:10 am
rubyfoo
We had that in Miami
6:10 am
rubyfoo
And it actually cst less than an ordinary grooming here
6:11 am
bichon
I pay her $68 and she comes every 8 weeks
6:12 am
rubyfoo
If I seend her aa ticket, wull she come here? LOL
6:12 am
rubyfoo
sorry for th typos, I'm very blurry
6:12 am
bichon
She's all mine
6:13 am
bichon
She likes Marrco because he's so mellow
6:19 am
rubyfoo
Rufie is mellow with women, barks at most men
6:19 am
rubyfoo
Raffie stays awat from almost everyone
6:19 am
rubyfoo
She's like a cross between a Tibetan mastiff and a cat
6:22 am
