lol, hiya rbud
1:33 am
grannyrose
hi rbud.. did you find it?
1:34 am
sprite
none of us did, darling. *hugs rose* Scary thought that this was such a close call. Infinitely grateful you are still with us and are being watched now.
1:34 am
grannyrose
and i am the best of the five of us, as well as being the eldest.
1:34 am

so... does that mean your stupid son is realising he is being stupid too?
1:34 am
grannyrose
rbud, take the clothes of the wash line
1:35 am
grannyrose
don't know if sonSimon has spoken to son Daniel. in reality i really don't care. to me he would be just a despised stranger.
1:36 am
sprite
yeah, I get that. Well, I am glad to read you are gonna talk with Don about hiring help. I need you to take very good care of yourself, hun. I do have faith in God. But for now, I want you here with me and not with Him God knows where ;)
1:37 am

rose is chasing a squirrel...
1:42 am
Kamanjah
I'm kicking this cold nicely, he's miserable. I called his doc today, who suggested using antibiotic ointment with the numbing stuff in it...working well for him
1:43 am
Kamanjah
Since I'm a wimp, I have tubes of that stuff in every one of my bags!
1:43 am
sprite
ah, good you found something that will give him some relief. Good to hear you are kicking the cold. So sorry your husband is feeling so miserable. It is not an easy thing to battle.
1:43 am
sprite
*giggles @ wimp* You are not. Just a girl scout... be prepared!
1:44 am
Kamanjah
No, and it could be forever...that's the scary thing with PD
1:44 am
grannyrose
sorry my dears. glass was empty. priorities you know. thanx to Rob. thanx to beloved Kam. goooo girl you got a show and christmas to enjoy.
1:44 am
Kamanjah
Yep, I'm prepared. Dogs need first aid kits, ya know, so good doggie moms have complete kits...
1:45 am
Kamanjah
When do you go home, Rose?
1:45 am

PD is a nasty disease. I am so sorry for both of you that he got it.
1:45 am

1:45 am
grannyrose
i am home Kam. this morning. am loving it
1:45 am
Kamanjah
Thanks Sprite, but it is what it is...we're starting the road for the DBS surgery
1:45 am
Kamanjah
Yay, good to hear you are home!
1:45 am
grannyrose

1:46 am
Kamanjah
Aww, I know how good that feels
1:46 am
sprite
yep, it is what it is and the only thing you can do with it is face it.
1:46 am
sprite
awwww that is awesome, rose. Don is usually not that verbal with his love.
1:46 am
Kamanjah
and FIGHT it! We are warriors when it comes to PD!
1:47 am
sprite
goooooo Kam!
1:47 am
Kamanjah
I think when push comes to shove, our guys let us know how much we truly mean to them
1:48 am
grannyrose
good for you Kam. btw may we know DH's name. if not here via email, i would like to put you both, by name, in my prayers.
1:48 am
sprite
ain't that the truth
1:48 am
Kamanjah
Michael. Thank you, much appreciated by both of us
1:49 am
sprite
added his name to my little prayer booklet. It already said "Kamanjah and husband" :)
1:49 am
grannyrose
thanx Kam. it's so strange to have to admit not knowing your DH's name. after all these years.
1:50 am
Kamanjah
I never mentioned it
1:50 am
sprite
it's good internet etiquette not to mention real names
1:50 am
sprite
but babble is a relatively safe environment
1:50 am

i know that was why i was so tentative asking.

1:51 am
grannyrose
surrounds Kam with hugsssss
1:51 am
Kamanjah
and the rest of the Babble world...but they don't know last names...
1:52 am
sprite
lol I am being stupid. I was re-reading your post, wondering what hubby's tallness or rather lack thereof had to do with mentioning his name.
1:52 am
Kamanjah
thank you, Rose, I'm so happy you're home and doing ok.
1:52 am
Kamanjah

yeah we did. When the kids were still growing, we kept track of them on the inside of the cupboard door, and they insisted we put our own heights there too. Especially when they started to overtake us :)
1:58 am
grannyrose

Ruby, you are such a party pooper. What is the fun in not sharing all of your most intimate and personal details in chat?
: P
4:31 am
rubyfoo
Ya think? And pooper may be the operant word. LOL
4:45 am
MollyL
What? You don't want to share all the most graphic details of your bowel issues in a public forum? You must be one of the few people who know what "too much information" means.

Imostly stay away from chat these days,maybe Iam just here at the wrong times, but it doesn't seem as friendly as it was
4:50 am
Kallia
Why are you burning books
4:53 am
rubyfoo
Too manyè books and they're too expensive to ship and although l always send away houseguest with as many as they'll take, nobody really wants them
4:54 am
Kallia
That's such a shame. Do you have a 2nd hand book seller near you
4:54 am
rubyfoo
The chat used to be a warm and friendy place, but nw it is too often dominated by only a couple
