1:14 am

sprite

*hugs rose long and warmly* Please do tell, what did the gp say and how did your dentist visit go?

1:15 am

grannyrose

gp has ordered CR oxycodone twice/day. quite happy for me to continue with valium and endone as i need it. i asked her what if i run out of endone before my next appointment. she said... just ring me.

1:16 am

grannyrose

dentist had one filling and found another which is to be done in 2 weeks.

1:17 am

sprite

very good. You listen to her, hun, ya hear? Take the darn stuff. You need to make sure your system can handle all the pain and stress. And that is what the oxy etc is there for.

1:17 am

sprite

ughhhh dentists... but it doesn't sound too horrible.

1:18 am

grannyrose

i hear you. it's just nice to have an everyday gp on my side, no arguments.

1:19 am

sprite

yeah, yay for her indeed. About time you got some support without fighting for it.

1:19 am

grannyrose

oh my dentist is so gentle. i don't feel the needle go in, and she talks me through the whole procedure. her nurse was fantastic too. watched me like a hawk and kept making sure i was okay to go on.

1:21 am

sprite

awesome, isn't it? Our dentist and nurses are the same. I am actually learning to handle the fear and not be swept away by it, because they are so wonderful.

72 Temple Owl

8:36 am

Scrabbler

Hm, no -our ending.

8:36 am

EvaNadine

8:38 am

72 Temple Owl

8:38 am

EvaNadine

ew.

8:38 am

Scrabbler

I stayed up late reading Gone Girl so I slept too late. I have to leave soon to shop for my mother.

8:38 am

72 Temple Owl

i cannot even stand to have food touch on mu plate. and i HATE gravy

8:39 am

72 Temple Owl

oh mu. i started the movie, it was too graphic and dark for me

8:39 am

EvaNadine

that reminds me of the episode of Friends where Rachel was making a trifle, but the cookbook pages got stuck together + she started with a trifle + ended with ingredients from a shepherds pie.

8:39 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Owl. My quirk: I eat one item at a time from my plate.

8:39 am

72 Temple Owl

how is the book?

8:39 am

Scrabbler

Funny, Eva!

8:39 am

72 Temple Owl

funny

8:40 am

Scrabbler

Owl, it is a rapid page-turner, like Girl on a Train. A thriller. Nothing deep but just a mystery/thriller.

8:41 am

bichon

I read that book, but found it troubling to read about alcoholism

8:41 am

EvaNadine

i listened to the audiobook + then saw the movie.
definitely disturbing!

8:41 am

72 Temple Owl

i am sure it is good. just graphic. unless they added for the film

8:42 am

72 Temple Owl

then again, in girl with the dragon tattoo, it was easier to read parts of it than to see it on the screen

8:43 am

EvaNadine

i never saw the original version of girl with the dragon tattoo. in the american version, i read that they toned it down compared to the original.

::shudder::

8:43 am

bichon

Have you rea the follow up books about Lisbeth Salander? That girl is a bad ass

8:43 am

72 Temple Owl

i heard that as well, the swedish verssion was much more graphis

8:44 am

Scrabbler

I read all of the Salander books.

8:44 am

BzznBea

I just finished reading the fourth in the series.

8:44 am

72 Temple Owl

but the girl who played her in the swedish version is a much better actress. she was great in "the drop".

8:44 am

bichon

Including the two by a different author. I'm reading the second one now

8:45 am

Scrabbler

By the new author? Was it good, Bea?

8:45 am

EvaNadine

ive read the first three - didnt realize another author picked up the series after Larsson's death

8:45 am

bichon

That was me who said that. Yes there are

8:45 am

BzznBea

Yes, it was good. I didn't notice any difference in the writing style.

8:46 am

BzznBea

I'm on the list for the fifth one...

Scrabbler

I am cooking Thanksgiving dinner for my mother and brother. I bought a lot of items yesterday and will get more today. It is tough for a vegetarian to touch and cook a turkey, but I am doing it.

9:02 am

EvaNadine

thats very kind of you, Scrabs!

9:02 am

72 Temple Owl

i used to make 8 kinds or so. now lazy. the trick is to make things like pfeffernuse that take weeks to mellow.

9:02 am

EvaNadine

9:02 am

72 Temple Owl

the worst part is taking out the guts. i skeeve that

9:07 am

EvaNadine

Baby K was the best reason to stop hosting my family for Thanksgiving.
by the 3rd year running, they were basically dictating the menu, telling me i was cooking too much.
nevermind that i WANTED those other dishes!

9:08 am

bonkler

9:10 am

bonkler

se 4/4 ;arge bodie of water

9:10 am

EvaNadine

they thought i was stressing myself out too much.
and really i think they thought all the choices made it hard on their kids to choose what to eat.
weirdos.

9:10 am

MLFAN17

awesome bonk.. hotel or a local restaurant?

9:10 am

EvaNadine

you make the plates for your small kids.
otherwise, take what you want + eat it!

9:10 am

MLFAN17

eva they should eat what they want .. my husband and i always say choices are good

9:11 am

MLFAN17

agreed eva

9:11 am

EvaNadine

i would never IMAGINE going to someone elses home for a meal + complaining about what they served.

9:11 am

EvaNadine

but...thats my family for ya!

9:12 am

MLFAN17

eva do they make better food then you do according to them?

9:13 am

EvaNadine

my father + brother are both good cooks.
it wasnt so much that they didnt like my cooking, they just thought it was too much.

9:13 am

EvaNadine

they dont see themselves as guests in my home, since we're family...so they feel comfortable saying "dont bother with all that, just do THIS"

9:13 am

MLFAN17

eva would they complain if you didn't make enough?

9:14 am

MLFAN17

eva not their house so you make whatever you want and how much you want:)

9:14 am

EvaNadine

well, they DID complain the year i forgot gravy....
my hubby + i dont eat it, so it totally slipped my mind.

9:14 am

MLFAN17

my husband and i love gravy

9:15 am

MLFAN17

if you have potatoes and if the turkey needs moisture gravy is a good idea just in case

9:15 am

EvaNadine

i enjoy it, but we dont make it.
i had MEANT to make it, since i knew my family like it, but i just plain forgot.
you would have thought id forgotten the turkey!

9:15 am

origami

I love gravy, too. Only eat it a couple of times a year, so really look forward to it.

9:16 am

MLFAN17

eva lol.. did they like the turkey without it anyway?

9:16 am

EvaNadine

seriously. the next year, they brought a jar, just in case i forgot again.

9:16 am

origami

Ugh - my mother used to make giblet gravy.

9:16 am

EvaNadine

secretly, i think they did.
my turkey is nice + moist, thankyouverymuch! ;)

9:16 am

MLFAN17

origami my husband and i eat it quite often but he doesn't make it from scratch

9:17 am

MLFAN17

eva hard thing to do sometimes congratulations!

9:17 am

EvaNadine

but since K was just barely 2 months old last year, o told them to shove off + we went to my in-laws instead. :)

9:17 am

MLFAN17

eva oh they can make a meal but cant make gravy from scratch..really?

9:18 am

EvaNadine

9:18 am

MLFAN17

that is the re6/18 and the re7/32 which I already had....I need the re7/28 please.

7:55 pm

i've been playing an interior design game on an app and i got an et7 and 8 that i only know because of that game!!

7:55 pm

ugh the needlecase strikes again. I *never* see it, no matter which spelling or where on the grid

8:00 pm

you seem to be looking at the word for putting a new bottom on a shoe, aeb. the word in question is when you have a lightbulb over your head.

8:00 pm

aebmusica

sorry.. I still don't have it. It is the third word on the re list ..re7/28

8:03 pm

dan2bit

the only re7s are re7/28 brit suffix after not fake, re7/36 re + windstorms, and re7/32 put the bottom of a shoe back on

8:04 pm

aeb, the beginning is the truth and the end rhymes with falsehoods.

8:07 pm

rururocks

very true

8:21 pm

Well there is that, Hurshy. I think I had a feeling once but I am not sure. :^)

8:22 pm

Sounds like the 2 year old, "I'm not tired."

8:23 pm

Can't really cook a traditional meal because I couldn't lift a turkey. I am going to cook small dishes at a friend's house

8:29 pm

rururocks

good that'd be less pressure on you :D

8:29 pm

origami

My meal will be a flash in the pan

8:30 pm

wht

Just stay out of hot water.

8:30 pm

if that happened to me i don't think i'd be cooking again for a very long time

8:31 pm

rururocks

I did it canning soup with my grandma

8:31 pm

8:33 pm

I am not going to get near the pressure cooker for a while, for sure.

8:34 pm
