1:06 am

rururocks

1:07 am

Kamanjah

I think the cold just kept me under the blankets, lol! We had 4 wool blankets and a really cozy, heavy blanket. The last night we had an extra heater, and I had so many layers on that I was too warm about 3AM.

1:07 am

sprite

better to warm and unwrap, than too cold and already wearing everything you brought :)

1:07 am

rururocks

1:12 am

Kamanjah

Poor man is miserable

1:12 am

rururocks

hopefully he doesn't get mad at the Doctor's office.. the one thing Doctor's hate are pissy patients :D

1:12 am

Kamanjah

He does wake me up in those wee hours...

1:13 am

Kamanjah

1:14 am

Kamanjah

I think Sprite knew about the 2 week catheter nightmare...don't know how to put a pun on that one...I did tell him I'd go get depends if he could get sleep and handle it...no response...

1:15 am

sprite

I hope the doc has a remedy for him, Kam. We are making fun, but we know it is rotten for him

1:15 am

2:53 pm

2:54 pm

rururocks

I think Erda and another player I used to get easy groans from went away.. or the other explanation is that people are used to my sick humor and don't have the energy to groan any longer :D
