I knew it. *holds rose in a very tight embrace* You do all that the doctors order, ya hear? I am NOT ready to let you go yet.

1:02 am

grannyrose

1:02 am

grannyrose

but....

1:02 am

sprite

*giggles* Yeah, they will have to find a balance in what is possible to do. How are you feeling now, darling? And when is the appointment with the heart doc?

1:03 am

grannyrose

he is going to do the denervation on my lower back in the infusion after the next one.

1:03 am

sprite

1:06 am

grannyrose

yesterdays cousins reunion was a blast. nearly 70 people descended from one couple and his siblings. the sports club where we went were absolutely rapt. i mean, prolly one of their quietest day of the year, and there we were eating and drinking like there as no tomorrow.

1:07 am

sprite

am so glad you had a good time!

1:11 am

sprite

ah, that was a hiccup. Back now.

1:14 am

grannyrose

finally.... it was good for don to be there. he really only knew that i had had a cardiac event. he didn't realise the enormity of it.also dr john was able to reassure us that the breathlessness can take up to 3 months to go. so one month down...

1:14 am

sammysmom

sammysmom

vvvv

1:16 am

sprite

hi smom

1:21 am

sprite

good clear words from doctor John. I am sorry Don had to experience another shock, but it was necessary for him to know how close a call this has been. He has to take supergood care of you.

1:23 am

Kamanjah

You take care of you too, rose!! Life is more precious than we really know

1:23 am

sprite

Kamanjah

At least DH is better today...will see what tomorrow brings

1:23 am

grannyrose

well i have made it to 2018...

1:24 am

Kamanjah

Frankly, I'm frazzled, but that will pass. DH is better, and that's what matters!

1:24 am

sprite

1:24 am

grannyrose

1:24 am

Kamanjah

OK, you have to make it to 2019 too!

1:25 am

1:25 am

grannyrose

1:26 am

Kamanjah

I'm gonna be ok, my health is ok, my nerves are raggedy! As long as hubby gets over this whatever that hit him for 4 days, I'll be happy.

1:27 am

sprite

*sending healing vibes to Kam's husband and calming vibes to Kam's poor nerves*

1:28 am

Kamanjah

Today's doc visit got a "you're ok today" but the neurosurgeon is tomorrow...scary one for me. Just a consult, but still... brain surgery scares the oomph outta me

1:28 am

Kamanjah

thanks, sprite!

1:29 am

sprite

I can imagine. One step at a time, Kam... try not to borrow trouble.

1:31 am

Kamanjah

yep, one doc visit at a time...we have other stuff going on...like selling a car and a boat...stress happens, and it kinda bit me today - the person getting the car decided she needed it 4 days earlier than agreed...minor details...ha!

1:32 am

sprite

ugh, yeah, minor details but oh, they can take such a lot of energy to manage. Especially when people go around and change stuff. Not easy.

1:32 am

Kamanjah

So, Rose, you're ok if you're careful, or need another procedure - red boxes seemed to bust up your posts

1:33 am

grannyrose

i'm okay kam. just need to take it easier for another two months.

1:33 am

Kamanjah

And you will do so?? I hope!! hugs!

1:34 am

sprite

1:34 am

Kamanjah

haha - sounds like my DH - always fine until he's, well, not fine

1:34 am

grannyrose

lolll.... gotta catch me first.

1:35 am

sprite

1:37 am

Kamanjah

I'm drinking boring water

1:38 am

sprite

1:39 am

sprite

1:39 am

sprite

1:40 am

Kamanjah

1:44 am

sprite

1:46 am

grannyrose

*raspberries* that's okay for super word-finder and typist to say....

1:47 am

sprite

1:47 am

grannyrose

1:48 am

sprite

1:49 am

grannyrose

uh huh

1:57 am

sprite

fireflies. My last words were all words I had already used in a compound or something, but forgotten to enter the single form. Time for a tiny nap, me thinks. Been awake wince 2 am, sigh.

1:57 am

Kamanjah

g'nite ladies, I have to go calm down so I can get to sleep - big day for DH tomorrow, and I'm the driver now (I hate driving, but now it's my job...life happens!)

1:57 am

Kamanjah

Good morning Ruby. It is 7 degrees here and I am getting clinically depressed about this bitter cold winter.

4:48 am

rubyfoo

Hello, Molly. It is above freezing here, but they're predicting a destructive (named!!) windstorl which is jst now starting

4:49 am

rubyfoo

l think this is the coldest winter, ever, on the US east coast. My sister, in NY, can't go outside

4:49 am

MollyL

Oh, sorry to hear that. I know you don't like the wind.

4:50 am

rubyfoo

You remembered that!! You are a marvel!

4:50 am

rubyfoo

l think this is the first year they've started naming storms here

4:54 am

rubyfoo

Wh** can you do to counter your sad mood? Protracted cold is awful!

4:58 am

rubyfoo

l've been binge-watching Downton Abbey to foil the winter blues.

4:58 am

rubyfoo

It helps

4:58 am

MollyL

I'm dreaming of Monday when it is supposed to be 44. That will feel like Summer after this.

5:00 am

MollyL

My sister sent me something yesterday that said "It's that time of year when it is so cold that you get in your car and scream &@#! until you get warm"

5:00 am

rubyfoo

Sounds like a plan

5:09 am

rubyfoo

l am so Lucky! The woman who bought my house (reverse mortgage) just called and she's bringing me some meat! Incredible!

5:15 am

MollyL

That is very nice of her. I'm glad you have people who are good to you.

8:14 am

Shirlockc

my friend flew norwegian to europe and said yes it was cheap but they're very stringent about baggage and will charge you for everything

I'd post a picture of a geo-duck, but some here would probably be offended by it's rather obscene appearance.

9:33 am

jwr

they are so cute, Judi

9:33 am

rururocks

4:37 pm

nrkii

that's where the ae comes from

4:37 pm

zoozzoom

5:16 pm

I need to get back to that simple, quiet mantra. Lately it has been...WHERE IS MY FREAKING MILD WINTER!!!

5:16 pm

car.eeyore

Hello everyone!

5:16 pm

MollyL

Deep breath, quiet mantra

5:17 pm

car.eeyore

Blizzard on the way....been cooking all afternoon, thus ensuring that we will NOT lose power!

5:17 pm

zoozzoom

Hope you do not lose power, Car!!

5:17 pm

MollyL

I have to laugh at the media, blasting CYCLONE BOMB for the upper east coast. Run for your lives!!!

5:21 pm

lbuxx

clue for the NE 4/7 please & thanks!

5:21 pm

car.eeyore

Around here they are very specific about using the correct meteorological term: The official term is "Bomb Cyclone" which is an explosive cyclogenesis, or bombogenesis which is actually really common.

The 'bombing' occurs when a low pressure systemâ€™s central pressure falls 24 millibars in 24 hours or less.

5:22 pm

car.eeyore

Clearly, we are hearing very little else on the news :)

5:22 pm

zoozzoom

The NE 4/7 sounds like what goes with a fork to eat with.

5:24 pm

zoozzoom

Or ne + no **s or buts.

5:25 pm

lbuxx

ahh... zoom thanks for the 2nd clue... I was thinking "spoon".. huh? lol

5:25 pm

car.eeyore

Honestly, I am more concerned about the high winds and losing power. We have the generator, but to then go into frigid temps if we do not have power will suck.

5:26 pm

zoozzoom

Most welcome, Ibuxx.

5:27 pm

lbuxx

any clues needed? I'm down to 9 over here..

5:27 pm

zoozzoom

Car, we had 90 mph winds last night and this morning..Yuck.

5:28 pm

zoozzoom

Not for me, Ibuxx, but many thanks.

5:28 pm

car.eeyore

OMG! Are you ok? Any damage?

5:29 pm

zoozzoom

All fine here thank goodness. But firther north trees are down and some damage to homes and more flooding.

5:29 pm

zoozzoom

Further*

5:30 pm

car.eeyore

Good grief. I am so glad to he4 you are ok

5:30 pm

MollyL

Thanks for that very specific, and horrific explanation. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!

5:30 pm

car.eeyore

No kidding!

5:31 pm

MollyL

But hey, let us all be concerned about global warming. NOT

5:32 pm

car.eeyore

Hah! Lester Holt just said it correctly...good boy...
