Hi all and yes, Hurshy. It sounds like an interesting way to start my babble today.
12:29 am
hurshy
it's Spirit Week at school, and today was 80s day
12:29 am
hurshy
so i got a gorgeous dress and hairpiece and went as a woman from the... 1780s!
12:29 am
Lizlin
I like your thinking.
12:30 am
Lizlin
I was going to ask spirit as in religion or ghost?
12:30 am
grannyrose
yay you hurshy. i love it.
12:30 am
hurshy
as in school spirit, you show your school spirit by participating in dressing up for the various theme days
12:31 am
Lizlin
Hope it was well appreciated.
12:31 am

sorry... not a real word

Nor would she have been amused.
12:35 am
hurshy
but i've honestly never been a big fan of victoria
12:36 am
hurshy
is that the victoria they had in mind when they named Victoria's Secret? because if so that is HILARIOUS
12:37 am
Gillie
According to the Wikipedia page, it was.
12:38 am
hurshy
yeah that's what i'm seeing too
12:39 am
Gillie
And it was supposed to be a store where men felt comfortable buying lingerie
12:39 am
hurshy
yeah, originally
12:39 am
hurshy
but then wasn't succeeding enough cause women didn't
12:40 am
hurshy
so then it got bought out by another guy who made the stores better for women
12:40 am
hurshy
whilst men continued to shop via catalogue
12:40 am
hurshy
and the original founder committed suicide
12:40 am

after other business failure and divorce

hellooooo dearest spritey. how is the ankle? have you been able to sleep?
1:16 am

*hugs rose* I am sleeping okay. Ankle's swelling is way down, pain is manageable. And I am practising patience. Dear God, grand me patience. AND I WANNA HAVE IT RIGHT NOW!

how are you and the Donster doing today?
1:17 am
grannyrose
*giggle* yep... know that feeling well...
1:18 am
grannyrose
we have been to hydro today. and, btw, what you sent me has arrived safe and sound. thank-you so much.
1:18 am
sprite
well, tbh, I am doing okay so far. The Big Guy is letting me feel I am safe and healing and being taken care of, somehow. I am mostly at peace, and when I am not, I can accept I am having a dip and will feel better soon.
1:18 am
sprite
woooooot am so glad. Feels good, doesn't it? And thank YOU. For everything.
1:21 am
grannyrose
don is getting on quite well bringing down the dividing wall. he goes in everyday and tries to remove at least 5 bricks.
1:22 am
sprite
that is the way to go about it. Am so glad, honey. Good man, Don! (at last, lol)
1:23 am
grannyrose
this wall was once an exterior wall hence the cement holing the bricks together is very strong.

Rob was feeling overwhelmed day before yesterday. Snapped at me for anything and everything and basically was a pita. Yesterday I decided I would not ask him to do anything for me, just let him go and do his own thing all day. He worked on the caravan ramp all day, was tired afterward but felt better. We talked and he agreed he needs to communicate better... sigh... let me know when to leave him in peace. It is kinda hard, because I need help for everything, basically. Good thing I am a creative thinker, lol.
1:25 am
sprite
oh yes, those walls are a challenge. Hm... next time your beloved has a temper tantrum... point him to the wall and tell him to smash it down :D
1:25 am
grannyrose
it does make it a tad difficult o walk around bare foot. as much as he sweeps/vacuums there always some grit left on the floor which is ouchies when trodden on.
1:25 am
sprite
yeah. Better wear some slippers for now.
1:30 am
grannyrose
we had our first service with the locum vicar on sunday. he seems quite nice, and has an interesting way of presenting his sermon. he steps into the middle of the church, and teaches from there. taking questions and responses to his questions from the congregation.
1:32 am
grannyrose
i have told raffaella i am not going to say good-bye to her. rather i will see you again soon. she is the first vicar in my 66 years who has become a friend.
1:33 am
sprite
good thinking honey. She is a special one. New one's approach sounds good.
1:34 am
sprite
did you see my post about Rob?
1:36 am
grannyrose
yes honey. it's so difficult for you both at the moment. he has had you anticipating his needs for so long. and now he needs to anticipate your needs. hard, hard, hard. i am praying for you both, actualy both of us are praying for you.
1:37 am
sprite
that is so much appreciated, rose :)
And it helps.
Rob and I will be okay, we just need to keep communicating. Rob's burnout is not over yet and having to take care of me now is not a good timing for him. But it is what it is, and we will have to deal with it.
1:38 am
grannyrose
and you are on our prayer circle at the church. and Raffaella particularly said to tell you that you are on her personal prayer kist.
1:38 am
sprite
am glad he has taken care leave. Only the tuesdays not, then he is off to work (like today). Which, I think, is a good thing. It gives him a day away from being a caretaker.
1:38 am
grannyrose
lolll kist ?? yeah that works... try list...
1:39 am
sprite
omg that is so special. Thanks, so much, rose. I can't begin to tell you how well it works. That feeling of inner peace is the result.
1:39 am
grannyrose
here my day out with June gives don time off from caring for me.
1:40 am
sprite
it is important, isn't it. We need to feel we are more than 'just' caretakers... or patients... or anywhich role.
1:48 am
grannyrose
i am disappointed. the new swimwear i bought on-line doesn't fit well. i double checked the measurements given and ordered appropriately. one swimmer fits okay, but i have to wear extra swim shorts under it. *sigh*
1:48 am
sprite
awww :( That sucks.
1:49 am
grannyrose
i wish Don didn't have so much trouble with words. i would like it so much if he would reach out to Rob.
1:50 am
sprite
well, he does, in prayers and thoughts. I am certain that works. But yeah. Rob could use a friend like Don for sure.
1:57 am
grannyrose
oh, did i tell you my 70+ year old neighbour was baptised last week?
1:58 am
sprite
maybe an idea: Rob loves beautiful poems and song texts. Not religious ones, though... but any other kind. Maybe if Don comes across one that moves him, he could share it with Rob without many extra words :D
1:58 am
sprite
yes you did, and you said she holds you responsible, grin

oh okay....

today's reading on Sojourner was Isaiah 46, verse 4. it is so beautiful. "And even when you are old, I am with you, and when your hair turns gray I will carry you still. I created you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will save you"
2:03 am

aw that is beautiful

could you give me a nudge towards ac7? Please?
2:09 am
grannyrose
how's the weather over there? are you warm enough in the caravan/trailer?
2:10 am
grannyrose
ac7. start with the highest card then anagram foot digits.
2:10 am
sprite
I am warm enough. Outside it is freezing, but it is a clear freeze, with blue skies and sun. In the afternoon, when the sun is like this, it even get hot inside and I will open a window!
2:10 am
sprite
thanks honey. I was blind to that ending, lol.
2:12 am
sprite
and the gas heater in the caravan is actually doing a splendid job of keeping the temps even. We put it on low, wear enough layers, and it works very well.
2:12 am
grannyrose
glad you are warm. being unable to be as active as usual i was concerned you might be cold. and are you keeping up with your physio?
2:13 am
sprite
yeah, doing my exercises all day long. without thinking by now, lol. Just flex those feet and lift those legs...
2:14 am
grannyrose
and pull your kneecap up and down, and flex your quads. push your knee down onto the bed, hard.
2:15 am
sprite
yeah. All of that. And as the plastermaster told me... do it 30 to 50 times... not per day... per HOUR!
2:15 am
grannyrose
that is the back of your knee....
2:16 am
sprite
lol, right
2:16 am
grannyrose
yup.... it is so important to keep those muscles in top form. you are gonna need them mucho.
2:16 am
sprite
am being a good soldier, honey. I do all of that, all the time, and will keep doing it. I want to beat the statistics. I am gonna heal up a lot faster than those 6 months the doc predicted.
2:17 am
grannyrose
*giggle* i bet you will... you have so many people ... and the Big Guy.... on/by your side.
2:18 am
sprite
so very true, rose. I can feel it. Does that sound odd? I can actually feel it. It feels like a mantle around my shoulders.
2:19 am
grannyrose
not odd at all. that is how i feel the support of God too.
2:20 am
sprite
first time ever I felt that was after my miscarriage. I was taking a walk at night, feeling so much pain, and all of a sudden, there it was. Didn't take away the pain, but my, did it make it a lot easier to bear.

l Always thought that religion and politics werenot part of the babble chat.Quoting from the Old Testament is more inclusive, but New Testament excludes too many
4:44 am
rubyfoo
Finding commonalities amongst all of our diverse religions is much more relevant nd necessary than quoting Something exclusively Christian.
4:45 am
MollyL
Well Ruby, it's been said that it doesn't matter which road you take, they all lead to the same place.

4:46 am

Living here l am able to have true discussions with Arab friends (VERY inreresting and l've learned a lot) but they Don't quote the Koran to me.
4:47 am

Good moning, Molly, l've put my soapbox away
4:50 am
rubyfoo
Each of us prays in his own way but with the terrifying rise of anti-Semitism, both here and in the US, it has made memore touchy on the subject.
4:50 am

I hope today finds you feeling better. I find religious and political discussions interesting. They seem to offend some, though.

I think everyone uses the chog in his or her own way. Not every conversation is going to suit every person and there are definitely things that I sometimes find irksome but I just ignore those - I'm not the arbiter of all things Babble :)
4:52 am
rubyfoo
l enjoy those discussions, too, having learned a lot from my ragtag group of friends
4:53 am

Good point Matty. When I'm not into whatever is being discussed in chat, I just focus on the grid.

l had a serious fall yesterday -- one moment's inattention. Stupid!
4:54 am
MollyL
Ouch, Ruby. I hope the fall didn't do you too much harm.
4:55 am

You're right, Molly, l guess l'l feeling vulnerable and scared living in a place with no Americans, no Jews, no Asiatics, Nothing exotic.
4:57 am

Nothing broken, just more pain added to my daily dose.
4:59 am

My friends here are all lapsed Catholics who never discuss religion. The lovely old Church in the village if only open on "special occasions"

I Don't make a big deal about being a Jew but l let friends and Neighbors know to avoid any uncomfortable conversations

I like hearing about religious traditions. I find aspects of faith's other than the one I was raised in, fascinating. I'm not a big fan of "preachy" people though.
5:21 am

I do, too, and my friend, Nadia, who is Moroccan, tells me lots of fascinating details. And her family has totally accepted me. Her father has cancer, too, and we are on similar schedules, "cancer buddies"*
