1:46 am
grannyrose
hydro... chemist....GP who clarified i do NOT have a fracture... but the possibility of one.... blood test results okayish...painwise... some nerve pain in right thigh after exercises..GP quite happy that my usage of endone is only 3 tablets/week.
1:47 am
sprite
wow honey, that is good news all over! What are you to do or avoid to not make the possibility into a real fracture?
1:48 am
grannyrose
my calcium levels a little high...and as i consume 3 portions of high calcium food x 3/day, she has said i am to stop calcium replacement.
1:49 am
sprite
also good news. Well done!
1:49 am
grannyrose
i am to continue on with vitamin D supplements though.
1:50 am
sprite
I hear ya. Me too. High dosage ones. I just cannot seem to keep up the vit. D.
1:50 am
grannyrose
AND.... she has conceded with the FM, osteoarthritis and osteporesis... i am actually in quite good shape.
1:51 am
grannyrose
she has patients who are much worse than i am. she is very pleased with my hydro and gym work too.
1:51 am

1:53 am

grannyrose

2:02 am
sprite
lol. It's all those muscles.
2:03 am
grannyrose
oh and i asked my physio at the gym. apparently the muscles are exercised the same in water as on land. but in water the body weight is less, and the joints more open, so less pain.
2:04 am
sprite
yeah, that is the reason I am not allowed to do water exercises.
2:11 am
grannyrose
no answer re the pics?
2:11 am
sprite
sorry, missed the question. The pics will be on funda later this week, I will send you the link once they are up.

I dunno. Snow is rare enough where I live to still be considered cool.
Of course I have literally never had to shovel out a driveway.
2:46 am
TraderKate
They drive me mad spritey... I have a great way to get rid of them, but I will have to break into the piggy back and go get some wine - and I hate to share - even to get rid of the blighters. ;)

I use an empty water bottle pierce a little hole in the top (going into the bottle) and put a little red wine in it.. they go in, but can't manage to get out... when I get a bunch, I take it outside and take the top off - they automatically fly up and then I just start over until they are gone... works a treat.
2:49 am
grannyrose
and tell me dear friends... i have all i need to make a four-year-old grand-daughter happy... but a 43 year-old son who hasn't spoken to me for over 12 years ?? what do i give him ??
2:49 am
sprite
nice! Will remember that
2:50 am
TraderKate
you could use something smelly like a bit of banana peel too... they just need somethng to draw them in. Even things like onion peel works, but the fruit or wine I ifnd the best.

what do u mean by "bigoted white guy"
12:08 pm
beckyj
Evening, everyone! :)
12:09 pm
Pyewacket
I mean some asshat wrote that definition because only xtianity is a religion and everything else is Not Real, thereforethe ignorant hindus merely were worshiping a monkey because they were stupidheads. Ignorant bigoted white guys pretty routinely degrade everything not xtian.
12:09 pm
benji5550122
not nessesarily
12:10 pm
Pyewacket
Again. The h guy is a god, not a sacred monkey.
12:10 pm
Pyewacket
Yes ncessarily. I'm guessing you're not hindu.
12:11 pm
Pyewacket
1 billion+ people think that he's a god. They get dibs on the definition.
12:11 pm
benji5550122
people tend to criticize religions that they dont practice
12:12 pm
benji5550122
its not exclusive to white people
12:12 pm
Pyewacket
That's true. Hence the definition of "sacred monkey" instead of "god who takes the form of a monkey".
12:13 pm
Pyewacket
White guys exclusively wrote the dictionaries 100 years ago and I bet they still dominate writing the (ENGLISH) dictionaries today as well.
12:14 pm
benji5550122
why does it matter if they're white tho? thats all im saying
12:15 pm
Pyewacket
Because that contributed to their bad attitude towards Hindus, who are actually caucasian. but since they are DARK skinned caucasians, the white guys in power considered them inferior.
12:16 pm
Pyewacket
Hence "sacred monkey" instead of "god in the form of a monkey"
12:16 pm
benji5550122
considered being past tense
12:16 pm

12:17 pm

Nope. The vast majority of whiteys still denigrate the browns and blacks as inferior.

I thin "Ixnay" should be a word.
12:20 pm
Pyewacket
Like I said. Majority. Obviously not all because I don't.

my fingers don't always type what I tell them to either, Pyewacket.
I wonder why Mung isn't a word? Mung beans have been used for -- 100's of years?
12:33 pm
Pyewacket
And how old is the enable dictionary? They weren't a part of the European diet so - short shrift.
12:34 pm
SamanthaJoy
Ayup. I'm still kinda pissed that menudo isn't accepted.
12:37 pm
Pyewacket
but manana is - even though that is not the way it is spelled. that should be an enyay in the middle, not a mere en!
12:38 pm
Nef
No, IDK about how old Enable is, but I've made mung bean sprouts for (probably) 50 years & I'm American (& not *weird*
12:38 pm
SamanthaJoy
Like the Yiddish words, though, that's a transliteration. That character doesn't exist in the English alphabet.
12:40 pm
Pyewacket
Back then they were hippy things! Still not white-guy dominated dictionary worthy LOL!
12:41 pm
Pyewacket
Transliteration or not its still spelled wrong.
12:43 pm
Pyewacket
I AM American, white, and weird. Mung beans are also food in and of their ow bad bean-y selves. Not just sprouts. I'm just as happy to be able to buy them already sprouted these days.
12:44 pm
MollyL
I'm guessing (according to the rules) that "mung" is one of those foreign words that is "not recognized by the Enable Dictionary". Why, I don't know.
12:44 pm
Pyewacket
Great now I"m hungry
12:44 pm
Pyewacket
Because its old and hasn't been updated in decades.
12:46 pm
SamanthaJoy
It's only spelled wrong in Spanish, which we're not using. In English, it's spelled correctly.
12:46 pm
dcseain
mung beans are a food, indeed!
12:46 pm
Pyewacket
It's spelled wrong no matter how you look at it. It IS a Spanish word. It is NOT an English word. And no one says it manana. They say manyana.
12:47 pm
dcseain
like jalapeno vs jalapeño :)
12:47 pm
Pyewacket
So now we should start spelling foix gras fwah grah according to those lights
12:48 pm
SamanthaJoy
*laugh* The origin of the English word is certainly the Spanish word, yep. English adopted and adapted the word, as it does.
12:48 pm
Pyewacket
I have never ever seen jalapenyo written without the enya (and too lazy to fire up the character thingy to copy-paste a real enyay)
12:48 pm
dcseain
it's commonly without the tilde where i live.
12:48 pm
Pyewacket
There is no English word manana
12:49 pm
dcseain
hasta mañana is commonly used in English where i am.
12:49 pm
SamanthaJoy
I think you don't really understand how languages work, but ok.
12:49 pm
Pyewacket
Yes and it is pronounced manyana, not manana
12:50 pm
dcseain
quite, but usually written manana in English.
12:50 pm
SamanthaJoy
Me too, Sean. I'm in Texas, where are you?
12:50 pm
Pyewacket
Given that I speak 3 of them I'll let that slide.
12:50 pm
dcseain
near washington, DC
12:50 pm
Pyewacket
Never written manana by anyone with half a brain
12:51 pm
SamanthaJoy
That was my first guess, for some reason. :)
12:51 pm
SamanthaJoy
..... You literally wrote it that way in the sentence where you insulted people for writing it that way.
12:52 pm
SamanthaJoy
Send. Help. Laughing. Too. Hard. To. Breathe. Help.
12:54 pm
dcseain
just noodled two unexpected ga4
12:54 pm
Pyewacket
That explain the lack of oxygen to your brain. I did no such thing and still to lazy to go copy paste the actual enyay.
12:55 pm
dcseain
alt+164 on keypad for ñ on Windows.
12:56 pm
Pyewacket
Manana is still not a real word.
12:56 pm
dcseain
ny is used in Catalán, nh in Portuguese, gn in Italian for the same sound.
12:57 pm
dcseain
saves cutting pasting. An MacOS, option N, n for ñ.
12:57 pm
Pyewacket
None of which are either spanish OR english

sometimes narrowing the window to hide it is advisable.

I love pointing and laughing at people who lecture others on how they should be acting, though. It's a hoot to watch their virtual faces get all red.

Hello Babblers.....I just signed on and as usual, read the chat that was in front of me. Today's chat caused me to scroll down further. I feel that NOBODY should criticize another on trivial things. We never know the background or the education of most of our fellow chatters......it would be rather silly to correct the grammar of an English professor! ......just an example ;-)

7:21 pm

Don't let anyone tell you that time heals. But time DOES bring new strengths and new ways of dealing with the loss. You'll always have a dad-shaped "hole" in your heart but the edges soften over time. God bless you.

Thank you <3

PastorJ

7:28 pm
beckyj
His passing did change my view on life a bit (in the sense that he is one of the closest people (bar my Ma) that i'll lose) and it still feels like 'holy crap' with a big ol' Dad hole if I dwell too much. However, on the flipside, I've always been a happy person and in my bittersweet thinking I explained it to someone the other day by saying that I was at my happiest in life when Dad was alive (of course! <3) with his passing, no he's not coming back but how could I not wake up happy when at this second I have literally everything *else* in life? Very very grateful for the small things these days. I'm so sorry, I'm tired and went on a tangent.
