my dad had an aortic dissection (years ago, he's recovered, don't panic) i just think the surgeon who saved his life ought to be able to be referred to as an aortist.

Mom's been terminal for a while. They told us a year ago, just about to the day that she probably only had a few months to live.

So, we eked out a good bit of extra time.
2:20 am
grannyrose
so you had time to say goodbye. and let her know just how much she was loved.
2:20 am
redshoes
She had everything planned out and paid for, logistically, which is really nice. And I know she told me what she wants to wear, etc., but I honestly only half listened because I hoped I wouldn't need to know for a while. You know?
2:22 am

i know exactly... you know her tastes... let your instinct guide her.

Will do. I appreciate it, granny. Your concern feels providential, given that the last thing my mom said was "Mom" a few times, which we interpret as her getting ready to rejoin with her mom, my "Granny (Helen) Rose.". I don't believe that's a coincidence.

NBT and NBS with 81 to go - this is a tough grid
7:25 am
rbud
if still showing a previous one, I read the other day that someone right-clicked in the white area around the list and reloaded, which fixed it.
7:26 am
rbud
or maybe it was clicked in the white area and then hit F5... I read both approaches, lol
7:27 am
Anniebrook
yesterday matty told me to click on the old list and hold down ctrl and F5 together
7:28 am
rbud
I should really make a little list of all these helpful things to try, haha
7:28 am
Anniebrook
did it work for you, rbud?
7:29 am

don't know, I wasn't having a problem. I usually get Lickety updated all right, but I've seen many who don't. Something worked for whoever it was, not sure which approach it was. :)
7:30 am
Anniebrook
I usually get Lickety updated automatically too but I had to use crtl and F5 today and yesterday
7:31 am
dromano66
i thought i saw someone said the list was up but when i click on it, the last one is wednesday....i'm probably doing something wrong
7:31 am

I also find that right-clicking on people's little icons in chog and reloading will update them when they say they changed it but it hasn't for me yet - but that's another story. :D

thank you very much Annie. How are you doing these days? (I haven't seen you lately, I guess we aren't Babbling at the same times now)
1:59 pm
Anniebrook
I am okay. Waiting patiently for warmer weather. How are you doing, Nef?
2:00 pm

Doing okay these days; we are having a "nice" winter (if you don't like lots of cold & snow).
2:01 pm

And thank you mool for the clues. I got it!

Nef
DH is doing "okay" right now; he's having prostate surgery next Thursday to see if that will help stop the urine infections which he's been plagued with the past 6 months. Every time he gets any infection he ends up in the hospital because the slightest temp makes his MS symptoms much worse.
2:12 pm
Nef
I wonder why Enable doesn't think situ is a word?
2:15 pm
Deeha
tried that. Odd isn't it when you think of all the other abbreviations it allows
2:16 pm
Habes
It takes situs but not situ.
2:17 pm
Nef
that's true. But situ is a scientific term so it *should* be a word.
2:21 pm
Nef
Deep & Habes; you both have darling kiddos for your icons. :-)
2:22 pm
Habes
Thanks. Granddaughter, Caroline, now six months old.
2:23 pm
Deeha
my two granddaughters too. best thing on the world being a grandmother
2:23 pm
Nef
Grandkids are so much more fun that children; aren't they? :-)
2:24 pm
Deeha
sorry always doing that
2:24 pm
Habes
They are. I think it's because you know it's the last time you'll have babies in your life. You appreciate them more.
2:25 pm
Habes
Too much to do when they're your own. Too busy to enjoy them as much as you are able to enjoy the grandbabies. They're wonderful.
2:35 pm
Nef
That is so true. I think parenting is so stressful; you're always trying to cope with everything at once; but grandparents have more time to focus on the children
2:35 pm
moolingwa
am I back?

tremendous wi-fi issues today for some reasons
