grannyrose

1:01 am
grannyrose

1:03 am
sprite
am baffled. And how much longer are you willing to endure rotten days and nights to pay for that one night of ballet?
1:05 am
sprite
and dr John has said not to stretch it out... because you come in exhausted every time...
1:09 am
grannyrose
i know, i know. i love the ballet so much. and i haven't been able see the dancers for so long. this is the first season in nearly ten years. and i can be as stubborn as a mule, you know that. i'll stuff myself full of drugs if i have o.

1:12 am
grannyrose
look honey. i am not crippled with the pain. my brain dosn't recognise it, thank heavens. i guess if i did actually feel the level of pain i have, i would be screaming.
1:12 am
grannyrose
heyya ruru
1:12 am
rururocks
i'd have made a joke that I didn't know i was consorting with Druggies.. but i can't.. being in pain is really horrible
1:13 am
sprite
rose, am sorry but you get exhausted, you will feel very down and you will more or less have to drag yourself back to dr John in the end, I have seen how miserable you get.
1:13 am
grannyrose
besides, seeing the ballet will give me such wonderful memories to think through if it becomes too much.
1:14 am
grannyrose
i have my new diary now. so i cannot double book myself again.
1:14 am
sprite
true, ru. Am a chronic pain patient myself and it sucks big time. All the more reason to not postpone a treatment that helps...
1:15 am
grannyrose
and i can always go to the warm waterpool and just sit there.
1:15 am
sprite
you are lucky you are on the other end of the world again, rose, because I'd kick your sweet tuches if you were here.
1:16 am

our government has finally ratified he use of medicinal marihuana but only for the war vets at first.
1:19 am
grannyrose
i do know it. i will be okay, and you know that is true. it's not life-threatening. lots of people worse than i am. like you for a start.
1:19 am
sprite
after last infusion, this woman promised me, never ever to go more than 6 weeks between infusions ever again... and here she goes, first possibility!
1:20 am
grannyrose
huh ??? i did ??? i thought i said 12 weeks, which is what dr john keeps telling me.
1:21 am
sprite
it may not be life-threatening, but it is quality of life threatening
1:21 am
sprite
12 weeks, okay then
1:22 am
grannyrose
yes it is honey. but i am not wheelchair -fast. just need it a few times like when i am expected to walk a long way.
1:22 am
sprite
if I had a treatment that helped, rose, I'd make it my first priority, that's for sure.
1:23 am
grannyrose
i don't want to waste the tickets. cost a few more dollars than i expected. and i'm scottish enough to not want to waste money.
1:25 am
sprite
all excuses, young lady. Not impressed. But you'll do what you're gonna do anyway, so there we are... don't come to me complaining about misery when you are facing the consequences! *very stern mama look with crossed arms and tapping foot*
1:26 am
grannyrose
okay. *zipping lips and fingers tightly shut* no more whinging.
1:29 am

my day started with a tick bite. Rob removed the darn thing with a tick remover, but a part of the head was left behind. Official tick site says it doesn't matter, the poison is in the body and not the head, but I just want the darn thing out!!! Rob says to just wait, it will come out all by itself. Whaaaaa.
1:30 am
grannyrose
ugh..... a tick ??? yuck.... where were you?
1:31 am
sprite
at home, in bed. And I didn't go outdoors at all yesterday, so your guess is as good as mine. I think Rob or Terra must have brought it in. Prolly Terra.

1:38 am
sprite
yeah not funny. Will be glad when the last bit comes out, that is for sure. And then we will have to watch the area of the bite for signs of ring forming, and me for fever or weird aches. But since the tick did not empty itself into me, chances are all will be well.
1:38 am

12:23 pm
MollyL
I'm sure the change in scenery and routine did you some good.
12:23 pm
cosdem
that was mostly the reason for me going.. the change of scenery for a few days.
12:24 pm
cosdem

12:26 pm
BzznBea
Sounds like a good time was had by all, cos.
12:26 pm
cosdem
It might have been more fun with someone else. It was always Ryan's dream to go there. *sigh*.. broke down crying a few times lol
12:31 pm
BzznBea
Put your feelings about that in your journal. Write him a letter about your trip and feelings in your journal.
12:32 pm
MollyL
Cos, those journals are nice. They have good writing prompts. But they need to give you more room. At least the ones I have looked at.
12:33 pm
cosdem
its mostly a one sentence or two sentence questions... with a section in back for essay answers.
12:35 pm
BzznBea
I staple or clip all sorts of thing to my daily entry. Invitations, letters, cards, schedules...
12:37 pm
cosdem
thats not a bad idea.. if i ever got any :/
12:38 pm
cosdem
not to be a debbie downer but when ryan left.. everyone else did.
12:40 pm
MollyL
A lot of people who have lost a partner experience that Cos. People mean well, but most of them don't like to be around someone who is sad all the time.
12:40 pm
BzznBea
Well, Debbie, you just need to pull up your big girl pants and get back out there! Surely there are things in your area for singles to do to meet people.
12:41 pm
MollyL
And speaking of which, have you heard from Jason?
12:41 pm
cosdem

There you go. A step in the right direction. And as Bob Wiley says "I feel great, I feel fine, I feel wonderful".
12:44 pm

cosdem
I'm sailing! I sail! I'm a sailor! I'm sailing Dr. Leoooooo Marvin! (gee thanks now i want to watch that movie)
12:58 pm
MollyL
I love that movie. Baby steps get on the elevator, baby steps get off the elevator.
1:00 pm
cosdem
i dont blame leo. id go insane too.
1:02 pm
MollyL
“What if I'm looking for a bathroom, I can't find one, and my bladder explodes?â€
1:03 pm
cosdem
although marrying leo's sister was a tad too much ;P

You only had to look up 3?
3:04 pm
cosdem

3:04 pm
cosdem

3:20 pm
cosdem
well all craziness has broken out in oregon
3:30 pm
MollyL
The Republicans took their toys and went home. Or into hiding, in this case.
3:31 pm
MollyL
All the State Troopers need to do is follow the Scotch and cigars trail. : D
3:33 pm
cosdem
Ahhh. America.
3:33 pm
cosdem
but then again without America there would be no Las Vegas.
3:38 pm
MollyL
Oh, I thought it was only the America haters who made comments like that. : P
3:42 pm
cosdem
Hey i do hang a flag during holidays :P
3:42 pm
rubyfoo
What happened in Oregon, l haven't seen the news
3:43 pm
cosdem
republicans refused to vote on climate change bill. so they ran away.. therefore no quorum.. the governor ordered state police to find them and bring them back to vote
3:44 pm
rubyfoo
Thank you
3:49 pm
MollyL
It's like an episode of The West Wing
3:50 pm
cosdem
Probably caused by something Josh said.
3:52 pm
ChampFit
The Democrats did the same thing in Texas several years ago. Can't remember why.
4:03 pm
MollyL
Cos, I don't think you are an America hater. You haven't given up on the whole thing, just because of an administration (like some people claim to have).
4:11 pm
cosdem
"there is nothing wrong with America that cannot be fixed with what is right with America"
4:26 pm
MollyL
I agree with that. And having lived through 11 years of Presidents that I feel have been ineffective, I still have hope and belief.
5:17 pm
cybernan
hello everyone
5:21 pm
ch1212
I was just reading that in the current US Congress, the party affiliation for women is 89% Democrat, 11% Republican. The racial-ethnic non-whites are 90% Democrat, 10% Republican. It's a startling contrast.
5:26 pm
rururocks
I don’t think Biden has enough to beat Trump. I hope the Democrats come up with a better candidate
5:28 pm
MollyL
I agree Ru, Biden is just not the guy to carry it off. And I would like to see a Republican beat Trump.
5:28 pm
rururocks
And what is weird ch1212 is the fact that in the middle states women voters overwhelmingly voted for the Donald
5:29 pm
rururocks
Even with all his mysoginistic crap
5:30 pm
ch1212
It is weird, ru. My in-laws live in Iowa, and they filter everything through their preconceived and rose shaded memories of what their America "used to be."
5:32 pm
MollyL
There are a lot of women who did not want to see Hilary become the first woman President. Myself included. I want that to go to someone worthy of the job.
5:33 pm
ch1212
I agree, Molly. I'm glad she is not running again, and like Ru said, I hope the Dems will come up with a better candidate than Biden.
5:33 pm
cybernan
too bad Nancy Pelosi isn't 20 years younger
5:34 pm
rururocks
Maybe if we could throw her in the dryer for a bit 😀
5:36 pm
rururocks
I am not a Nancy pelosi fan. But agree she’s got a lot of balls
5:36 pm
cybernan
is there an ex word and if so, could I have a clue please?
5:36 pm
rururocks
2 ex words
5:37 pm
cybernan
my missing 2 from that e
5:37 pm
cybernan
cannot see them
5:37 pm
rururocks
One like the headache medicine
5:37 pm
MollyL
I would never vote for Pelosi. I would have voted for Condoleezza Rice. I was hoping she would be the first black and the first woman President.
5:38 pm
ch1212
She would be interesting, cybernan. It's my uninformed opinion that the Dems will not seriously advance a female nomination this go-round. It would devolve into too much focus on Trump's mysogeny. In a fantasy world, it would be wonderful if all the Dem and Repub candidates kept to the issues, and kept to proven facts. Ah, one can only dream .....
5:39 pm
ch1212
Hey, look at us all having a rational and respectful conversation about politics. !! (kudos all around)
5:40 pm
rururocks
It can be done
5:40 pm
cybernan
I admire Nancy -- I think she is brilliant and she is certainly able to get her point across without raising her voice and without exaggeration.
5:41 pm
rururocks
Historically I have never voted for Pelosi
5:41 pm
ch1212
Do you live in her district, Ru?
5:41 pm
MollyL
It surely can be done as long as people don't slam other people for their beliefs. Or start slamming other countries.
5:41 pm
ch1212
OH! LOL!! Just saw your flag, Ru. LOL!
5:42 pm
MollyL
Yes, Ru has changed his affiliation.
5:45 pm
rururocks
I should have been born in Canada
5:45 pm
ch1212
I live near the Canadian border, and am often surprised at how many Canadian immigrants we have in our area, many who moved here years ago and had their children here. Much like my own family who originally came from Scotland and Ireland.
5:47 pm
MollyL
I'm very attached to the country I have lived in all my life. If I ever decided to move to another country, I would retain my citizenship. I'm a big believer in all the good people who have defended this country's right to its independence.
5:51 pm
rururocks
Ideally I would have two citizenships but that is hard to do at my age
5:56 pm
ch1212
fw for me! Have fun all (*poof*)
6:05 pm
MollyL
*Feels sorry for the old geezer

6:17 pm
MollyL
Ru, you are very fortunate to get to retire in such a beautiful place. I'm sure it will be a great start to the next chapter of your life.
6:53 pm
hokie carla
molly, in answer to your ?? earlier, I did look up 3, but I got several from clues in the chat, and guessed right at a lot, so there were a lot I didn't know.
