good morning all

1:37 am

grannyrose

cooee and hugs {{{{sprite}}}}} i have taken it easy today. we started wrapping the kids gifts...had to go out and buy more wrapping paper... grannyrose and aunty rose has struck again... loll

1:38 am

sprite

good to hear you have taken it easy, honey, I was worried about you. How are you painwise today? And yay on the presents.

1:38 am

sprite

*hugs rose until she squeaks*

1:38 am

grannyrose

i am back to my three times/day of CR oxycodone. gee it makes such a difference.

1:39 am

grannyrose

btw *squeeeaaakkkk*

1:39 am

sprite

very happy about that. Anything you can do to make sure you get new oxy in time?

1:39 am

sprite

*gentle eases a little of the hug*

1:40 am

grannyrose

nope... not unless you have a magic instrument which cuts red tape down...

1:40 am

sprite

red tape is the worst. Even my magic cutter is powerless against it.

1:42 am

grannyrose

i have, now, 8 days of it. i am hoping the new script will arrive later this week.

1:43 am

sprite

darn, that will leave you stranded at Xmas. May the Big Guy use His magic cutter and speed things up for you.

1:46 am

grannyrose

if the script doesn't arrive by the weekend i will call doc on monday for ANOTHER short term script. *sigh*

1:46 am

sprite

smart. Anything to prevent the horror night from happening again

1:48 am

sprite

Ss striped off

1:48 am

grannyrose

well i know now what i need to have on hand. took the same last night as yesterday was only a two tab day. slept well.

1:48 am

sprite

great, my dear friend. And no fooling around with it anymore. *stern mama look*

1:49 am

grannyrose

i pwomise....

1:49 am

sprite

good girl.

1:50 am

grannyrose

and you? honey? has the pain from the concert settled a little?

1:53 am

sprite

mwah, I am not in a good place. Old age of both me and my Mirena have conspired to give me the period of hell, with the bonus of hormone-induced agony of the whole pelvic girdle. I can't sit, stand, walk or lie down. Can't even sleep at night because I cannot stay in bed.

1:55 am

grannyrose

oh, what a pity... what about the hammock? and just this once, dose yourself to pussy's bow darling. everything you can lay your hands on.

1:56 am

sprite

am taking extra gaba and heaps of paracetamol. Still agony.

1:56 am

sprite

might try for a bottle of wine tonight, lol

1:56 am

grannyrose

warm pack on tummy?

1:58 am

grannyrose

warm pack on back?

1:59 am

sprite

the tummy is bearable. It is the hips, pelvic bone and back that are killing me. I can usually hold together the instable mess with my muscles, but the hormonal surge makes that impossible. It is wicked.

2:00 am

grannyrose

hmmmm, how about a binder wrapped around the lower half?

2:00 am

sprite

I have a special belt for that, already wearing it. Even in bed.

2:02 am

grannyrose

good girl. wish i was there.. would shout you to a hot spa somewhere..

2:04 am

sprite

can't. Too much blood and if the muscles relax, the cohesion of the whole mess gets even less. But I'd kill to have you here. Just to be with me.

2:05 am

grannyrose

trying to work out how i have ended up with so many christmas gifts this year. 2 x Kris Kringle gifts( one each for Don and i), 4 x grandchildren, 4 x step-grandchildren, 4 x nephews, 1 x niece

2:05 am

sprite

that should do it.

2:07 am

grannyrose

that's....13 gifts, then one for each of Don's brother and sister, and one small gift for each of my three sons and their other halves, 3 for Don's kids...that's another 11..

2:07 am

sprite

good grief. Lol, it is like a whole daytime job!

2:07 am

grannyrose

thank heavens christmas is only once/year...

2:07 am

sprite

amen

2:09 am

grannyrose

and i don't go overboard except for the grandkids...

2:09 am

grannyrose

*eyes rolling in head*

2:09 am

sprite

*giggles*

2:10 am

grannyrose

just you wait young lady.... all this is yet to hit you...

2:13 am

grannyrose

okay, dinner on its way. luvsya honey. please take it as easy as possible. nurse yourself and be kind to you. xoxox

2:13 am

sprite

lol I hope so. Would love to spoil grandkids.

2:13 am

sprite

will do. Enjoy your dinner and have a lovely evening and a peaceful night. *hugssss*

2:37 am

sprite

fireflies. A blessed day and a peaceful night to all. *leaves extra hug for rose*

3:03 am

flosey

I'm off to bed, perhaps tomorrow words will come more easily!! 128 more to find. Good Night all

3:04 am

flosey

ah, wtg Sprite, so now you can enjoy a peaceful day - enjoy

rubyfoo

Bonjour

4:42 am

rubyfoo

Hit the wall at 97 andnothing bigger than 7

4:44 am

MollyL

Too many E's today

4:44 am

rubyfoo

You think?

4:46 am

rubyfoo

lt's -4Â°C this morning, the coldest day so far

4:47 am

rubyfoo

frost

4:47 am

MollyL

Oh we have been colder than that. It has been down in the 20's here. But today we are to have a high of 49 and tomorrow 63. My kind of weather for December.

4:48 am

rubyfoo

sorry

4:48 am

MollyL

It's okay. Not a word. And I thought you were talking about your weather. : D

4:50 am

rubyfoo

haha and there's some on the grass; The fishpond is frozen over.

5:10 am

MollyL

One of the many things I don't like about winter is having to scrape frost off the car in the morning.

6:10 am

Uneaixoise

Morning all! Watching British Antiques Roadshow..... they're interviewing a woman with a collection of 95 antique prams!!

6:11 am

MollyL

I'm always fascinated by what people choose to collect

6:13 am

MollyL

Ooo, she made a good choice. Those things go for high dollars.

6:14 am

Uneaixoise

Indeed!!

7:23 am

Trifioso

hello friends. antique prams sound lovely - 95 though???

7:29 am

MollyL

They call it "extreme collecting" these days.

7:29 am

Trifioso

is that a polite word for "hoarding?"

7:31 am

MollyL

It falls into the diagnosis of hoarding if it is taking over someone's life.

7:31 am

Trifioso

perhaps she has a barn to keep them all in? Everyone is a fool for something.....

7:32 am

MollyL

Remember all those people who got carried away with beanie babies? I remember seeing news shows about people whose houses were full of them.

7:33 am

Trifioso

i did get caught up in that craze, for a while, but ONLY the bears (like that makes it better, geesh.)

7:33 am

Deeha

Always wanted to collect something just for the thrill of the hunt. Trouble is I have never found anything-I could afford - that I want more than one of!!

7:34 am

Trifioso

now I collect salt and pepper shakers, with place names on them. They have to be TACKY. If they are tacky because of where they are from, double points! Big lobster claws that say "Maine" a showgirl from Las Vegas, etc.

7:35 am

Trifioso

deeha, that can be a problem, for sure!

7:36 am

Deeha

I bought some brilliant ones for our secret Santa. Zebras like cartoons - their noses were the shakers and you could wind them up so they walked across the table

7:37 am

Trifioso

those do sound fun! I have a spectacular pair someone gave me as a present - A pair of rutting pigs, from Intercourse, Pennsylvania. True fact.

7:38 am

Deeha

lokl!!

7:38 am

Trifioso

once people know you collect something, you will be AMAZED at how many free items you will get!

7:53 am

rururocks

Do you use them when you are making bacon?

7:54 am

Trifioso

haha - I could! An endless supply!

7:56 am

MollyL

*Imagines the look on dinner company's faces when Trif puts those babies on the table

7:56 am

Trifioso

its pretty damn funny, molly

7:57 am

Trifioso

you have to REALLY know the people, though

8:00 am

rururocks

Maybe bring them out if anyone gets boared

8:02 am

MollyL

I don't know, things could go sow-er from that point on

8:03 am

rururocks

That depends on which swines people are drinking

8:04 am

rururocks

I bet people hog the pepper

8:04 am

BzznBea

Keep hamming it us, you two...

8:05 am

rururocks

Not hamming it up. Just porking it over

8:07 am

rururocks

Rutting is such a nasty sounding word

8:08 am

rururocks

Trif?

8:08 am

rururocks

Do your guests squeal with delight when you pull them out

8:09 am

rururocks

.... I mean really... talk about pulled pork...

8:17 am

car.eeyore

Good morning

8:18 am

Morning car. I am peppering the chat with puns

8:18 am

car.eeyore

I expect nothing less :)

8:19 am

rururocks

Your sister started it. She is a little salty

8:19 am

car.eeyore

I find her more "gingery"

8:21 am

MollyL

I'm sure there is a rasher of strange looks when the intercourse shakers come out

8:21 am

EvaNadine

ahh, never a day without a spicy chog. ;)

8:35 am

MollyL

The recipe I have for magic cookie bars (also called 7 layer cookie bars and Hello Dollies) calls for nuts and butterscotch chips. I'm sure you can adjust it to what you like.

8:35 am

rubyfoo
