Kamanjah

Sorry, Rose, didn't see your Hinduism hint. The chog is hanging badly.

1:08 am

Kamanjah

And I'm so tired I'm crosseyed, it was you who gave the hing, thought it was Hursh...ignore me

1:08 am

grannyrose

s'okay kam. i was pulling your leg. now let me see you stand up... loll

1:08 am

Kamanjah

*hint*
can't type, either, lol

1:09 am

grannyrose

what have you been up to kam?

1:10 am

Kamanjah

worrying about hubs, dang it! He tells me he's fine, then last night on the phone he tells his son how he is really feeling. Not so well, it turns out. He knows I don't always do so well, so I guess he's trying to be strong for me or something. I told him to speak up if he needs me to step up and do more!

1:11 am

Kamanjah

How are YOU doing?

1:14 am

grannyrose

aww Kam. can you quietly ask him to share with you more? you shouldn't have to question him like a cross-exam.

1:15 am

grannyrose

i'm doing disgustingly well. although arthritis is very pa4ful with cold weather, the rest is all good.

1:17 am

Kamanjah

I did a little bit ago. I've asked several times a day, get "fine" and ask for the real rundown. I get a little info...
Just told him he has to take it easy and stop telling me he's fine when he's not. I told him to just hang in and rest...he's impatient for his programming appointment next Weds.

1:18 am

Kamanjah

I'm sorry you're heading into winter now. Our weather has been lovely for a couple of weeks now - no need for heat or air.

1:20 am

grannyrose

as he would be, kam. my prayers are with you both.

1:21 am

Kamanjah

Thanks for that! Every one helps!

1:26 am

grannyrose

our friend sprite seems to be very busy of late. i miss her so much.

1:27 am

Kamanjah

I've only seen her here once in the past week. Is all relatively ok with her, I hope? I know you two stay in touch.

1:28 am

grannyrose

they are busy fixing up the house ready to sell about Sept.

1:29 am

grannyrose

and she is doing a course which will qualify her as a nail technician.

1:29 am

Kamanjah

Oh, that's not really fun, but necessary if you want to get moved. Sounds like she is more than a little busy!

1:30 am

grannyrose

plus Rob is still not completely back to "normal" either.

1:32 am

grannyrose

kam, honey, i need to go. still have a mound of laundry to do. catch you at the next flip. xoxox

1:32 am

Kamanjah

I don't know what happened, but I hope 'normal' returns soon for him.

1:32 am

Kamanjah

I have to go too, you take care.

7:36 am

MollyL

Speaking of hated songs, I often wonder why songs like the BJ Thomas one are not on the most hated song list of all time. Anything that gets played as much as that one did deserves to be. Along with McArthur Park, You Light Up My Life, and anything by ABBA.

Hello everybody. My garden has turned into a jungle; the tiny evergreens originally have becomemonsters, choking out lots of good plants.

9:55 am

rubyfoo

sorry for the garble

9:55 am

Aloyisius

fw.. and I don't feel bad about not seeing my last word, ha7 - have to look it up. Fun grid!

9:55 am

rubyfoo

Besides being ugly, the evergreeens are producing actual clouds of pollen

9:57 am

TraderKate

Congratulations Aloy!
Hi ((ruby)).. sounds like you'll be keeping the gardener busy this season :)

9:57 am

rubyfoo

My new chemo has made my hair curly like it was when l was a baby

9:58 am

Aloyisius

oh, ok... the ha7 is "an outcaste in India". Hi ruby.. and ciao to all as I need to do some chores too.

9:58 am

rubyfoo

L think the garen neeedsmore attention than my now-and-then gardeners can give it.

9:58 am

TraderKate

new ha6 for ruby!

9:59 am

rubyfoo

Oh, sorry, are there drinks in the PB?

9:59 am

TraderKate

do the evergreens need to come out or get trimmed ha4?

9:59 am

TraderKate

always drinkies in the PB ruby!

10:00 am

rubyfoo

l think more drastic measures are needed

10:00 am

rururocks

do you think your gardener will be pining away eventually?

10:01 am

rubyfoo

l had pretty much given up alcohol when l got sick this time, but l've started again, much less than before,.....

10:02 am

rubyfoo

l don't tthink alcohol, in moderation of course, will make any difference

10:02 am

rururocks

hopefully they can spruce up the garden

10:02 am

TraderKate

Is it okay with the chemo ruby? A bit is usually a good thing

10:02 am

rubyfoo

l miss cocktails with my husband; the daily rituals were very pleasant

10:03 am

rururocks

I don't miss anything with my ex

10:03 am

TraderKate

fir heaven's sake ruru, you're kiling me ;)

10:03 am

rururocks

just remember to always cypress yourself TK

10:04 am

TraderKate

you can bring back cocktail hour ruby and remember DH <3

10:04 am

rubyfoo

Since l don't have any side effects l don't think a drink will hurt me. What l learned tto avoid, however, is Sunshine. How Strange is that?

10:04 am

TraderKate

yew will be the death of me ruru

10:04 am

rubyfoo

(as are the unbidden caps)

10:05 am

rururocks

don't arbor me any ill will TK

10:05 am

TraderKate

not unusual I think ruby--- need sunscreen

10:05 am

rururocks

just don't drink around pain medicine times ruby

10:06 am

rururocks

I've been out in the sun by the pool getting somewhat tanned

10:06 am

rubyfoo

There was no sun for so long this year, that l couldn't resist basking a bit and the doctor said "no sun". l don't think l'll tell her about martinis.

10:07 am

rururocks

why no sun ruby.. the medicines you're on?

10:07 am

rururocks

a little sun will give you some nice vitamin d

10:07 am

TraderKate

you should ask ruby... you don't want to negate the chemo - just in case.

10:07 am

rubyfoo

l haave no idea; l used to get really bronze in Miami and love the sun

10:08 am

rururocks

it'd be a good question to ask why then

10:09 am

rubyfoo

l'm feeling really good these days, having added another helper to the rostter. Five days a week, shee takes over dogs' dinner and we drink a bloody Mary or a martini.

10:10 am

rubyfoo

On days it's warm enough, she walks me along with the pups

10:12 am

rubyfoo

She cheers me up at the lowest time of day. We share a laugh and is really fun to haave around, Young enough to be a sort of surrogate daughter

10:12 am

MollyL

Chemotherapy usually increases sun sensitivity

10:13 am

TraderKate

She sounds wonderful ruby - someone to share a bit of the day with :)

10:14 am

rubyfoo

l dÃ§idn't know that before this round of chemo. Back in 1990 when l had IV chemo,l used to go fishing a lot and was very dark

10:14 am

TraderKate

dark an in depressed?

10:15 am

TraderKate

ah..,dark as in tanned... better go back to my tea :(

10:21 am

rururocks

made a broccoli/cheddar quiche.. anyone want some?

10:22 am

rubyfoo

And she's interested in all my stuff and unearthed a collection of small patent mÃ©dicine bottles l had a massed in Binghamton. On our walk, l picked various wild flowers anf madde a little diisplay of about a dozen tiny bottles in various ccolors of glasd, each with itts own tiny arrangementt of wild flowers

rubyfoo

At least Nothing hurts at the moment!

10:25 am

rururocks

live in the now ruby.. it's better for you

10:27 am

rubyfoo

Overall, l think l'm very llucky. The health care system here is terrific and they do everything for me, even make appointments for scans and such and arrange for taxis.

10:28 am

rubyfoo

Uh oh, l hear distant thunder even though the sun is shining

10:31 am

rubyfoo

And a nurse comes every day for my anti-coagulant shot and does the bi-weekly blood test, results of which arrrive within 2 days.

10:33 am

rubyfoo

Wow, it's still sunny but the rain has started. There will suely b a Rainbow!

10:36 am

rubyfoo

My brave watchdogs cower in the closet when the thunder gets close

10:41 am

TraderKate

Hope the rain passes quickly ruby. It's worth it if you get a good rainbow! Poor pups

I am a big believer in people actually doing something about what they don't like about politics. Not just posting about it on the internet.

Voting is the only way to show agreement or not; whining does nothing

3:08 pm

rubyfoo

but here l am in lakeside Heaven, so who am i to talk?

3:16 pm

MollyL

Voting is not the only way. People who are against a politician in power need to get out and work on the other side. And agreed, whining does nothing.
