*hugs rose& Hello my dearest friend, thanks for your email :) I miss you too. Things have been slightly too busy of late, lol.
1:05 am
grannyrose
i guessed that....i imagine a lot of low level flying going on. or are you on roller skates??
1:07 am
sprite
I wish :D
Yeah, new OA sponsor with lots of homework, which is a good thing. Back to full strength on the telephone job, and ofc once a week the other volunteer job. Last weekend was OA retreat in Germany. Rob and I had our wedding anniversary on the 13th, which was a friday so extra special. And lots of stuff for the tiny house.
1:08 am
Jacula
Just had a memory post come up on FB with naked firemen in it from our dear departed Jillibus.x
1:09 am
grannyrose
wow!! so much happening. are you coping okay? or should i say is the ol' body coping okay?
1:09 am
sprite
hiya Jac :) *hug*
*sends Jilli a hug over the boundaries of death*
1:09 am
Jacula
Hiya Sprite.x
1:10 am
grannyrose
hello jac. unfortunately i wasn't in FB back then.
1:10 am
sprite
yeah that is the right distinction lol. I am managing, and even enjoying most of it. The ole body is less happy. The long trips to and from germany were a bit muchish and made my resistance go way down... so now my whole mouth is covered in cold sores. Ugh.
1:10 am
Jacula
Hi grannyrose - it was just a reminder of Jilli's humour.x
1:11 am
sprite
of which she had spades, Jac :) Very fond memories of the days when we had icon themes.
1:11 am
Jacula
30 words left here, so I will dive in and try to find them.
1:11 am
sprite
*which she had in spades
1:13 am
sprite
have fun :D
1:14 am
grannyrose
awww poor sprite. cold sores are the pits. i know there are many wonderful treatments out there,i hope you have at least one of them. perhaps build up your immune system with one of several herbs etc treatments.
1:14 am
grannyrose
goo jac.
1:15 am
grannyrose
loved jilli's humour. she was so dry....
1:15 am
sprite
my immune system is trying to tell me to slow down a little, I guess. I am not impressed with any of the cold sore treatments on the market here. Best of the lot are the patches you stick on and which should stay on until it heals... ofc they never do because you do have to eat and drink...
1:16 am
grannyrose
tea-tree oil??
1:16 am
sprite
but hey, it is just cold sores, not a biggie. Hm, don't think I ever tried teatree for cold sores.
1:17 am
grannyrose
brilliant antiseptic. knocks cold sores for six.
1:17 am
sprite
awesome, will give it a try
1:18 am
sprite
almost hospital day for you, rose... counting down, I bet.
1:18 am
grannyrose
just dilute it will a little other oil, i.e. olive oil, coconut oil, almond oil
1:18 am
sprite
will do. Should help with the smell as well, lol... very unpleasant smell, tea tree oil.
1:19 am
Jacula
Well, that didn't take long. FIREWORKS! *~*~*~*
1:19 am
sprite
wtg Jac!!!!!!!!!!!!
1:19 am
grannyrose
abso-bloody-lutely. june has very kindly offered to shift her day out so that i don't have two days of activities on top of each other. allows me to rest up in between.
1:20 am
grannyrose
WTG JACULA!!
1:20 am
sprite
very good, honey. Great decision.
1:20 am
Jacula
Wish I still had my sense of smell. Most of it went ater I got some cold type virus 2 years ago, on top of already having chronic allergic rhinitis due to cat saliva and house dust.
1:21 am
Jacula
thanks Sprite.
1:21 am
sprite
oh Jac :( That is nasty. So sorry... must ruin your enjoyment of most food and drinks.
1:22 am
grannyrose
the other thing you could try is betadine paint/liquid. i know it is mostly for bacterial infections but cold sores have a propensity to develop low-grade secondary infections which delays their healing.
1:22 am
Jacula
Yes, it does and it suppresses my appetite. But I love my three cats and the fact that living in a dusty area plus having them isn't going to make me part with them.
1:22 am
sprite
very true. Thanks rose :)
1:23 am
grannyrose
ugh jac. how awful. that would take a lot of enjoyment out food and drinks, and also warning smells?? can you smell smoke for instance?
1:23 am
Jacula
Sorry to hear about your cold sores, Sprite.
1:23 am
sprite
I totally understand, Jac. I wouldn't part with Terra for all the health in the world.
1:24 am
sprite
thanks Jac. No biggie, just stupid sores, grin
1:25 am
Jacula
I can now smell most nasty smells, or elements of, and burning smells. I guess that is the body protecting itself. But nice smells like flowers, perfume, cooking, earth after rain are still gone to me.:(
1:25 am
grannyrose
Terra is so gorgeous. i could have kissed him all over, dear little dog that he is.
1:26 am
sprite
he loved you too. I was so touched when he remembered you from last time. And I seem to remember his developing a deep and sudden infatuation with your arm...
1:26 am
sprite
safety first, I guess, Jac... but I hope the rest will come back to you as well
1:26 am
Jacula
I have to be off now. Got damson jam to make + a beef stew. Happy babbling! xxx
1:27 am
sprite
have a great day, Jac *hugs*
1:27 am
grannyrose
lolll... yes he did...wasn't that hysterical? i think i laughed until i cried that day.
1:27 am
grannyrose
bye jac. xoxox.
1:27 am
sprite
we sure did. Most days, even. Darn we had a good time!
1:28 am
grannyrose
oh yeah.... we did too.
1:29 am
grannyrose
guess what?? don is already talking about another tripin 2 years or so.
1:29 am
grannyrose
*trip in *
1:29 am
sprite
for real? Oh wowwwww that is something. Honey, I hope and pray it will be possible for you two to do so.
1:29 am
sprite
that is quite something, isn't it, Don initiating it?
1:30 am
grannyrose
the major drawback was don's reaction to the A/C on the plane. we now know how to deal with that. so all the cards are back on the table.
1:31 am
sprite
as long as your health will be up to it, sweetie. I need you to stay alive for at least another 40 years, so be careful, okay?
1:35 am
grannyrose
we know how to travel with my health issues now. i will have an action plan for if my heart failure plays up again. and so long as i can time it between denervations on my knee and lower back, and the treatments for the FM, then all is good.we may have to tiptoe through the minefield of me carrying cannabis drops with me. we can face that when it happens.
1:37 am
sprite
at least that is something we might be able to solve here relatively easily, lol.
1:39 am
grannyrose
don really wants to stay at Lake Como in Italy for a week. really get the feel of the area. it is so pretty too. and a week in barcelona wouldn't go astray either. i am sure i can persuade him to stay at least a week in the Netherlands. that leaves one week unaccounted for. either rural france or in another italian town.
1:40 am
grannyrose
not Rome, not Venice. maybe outside of Milan or Florence? we didn't see Florence last time.
1:40 am
sprite
wow, two great places to visit! So beautiful.

gosh, i have to be so careful. i nearly typed your real name. that is how comfy i am feeling chatting with you. i forget where we are...
1:43 am
sprite
:) no worries, honey. If it happens, it happens.
1:43 am
grannyrose
is today going to be quiet for you?
1:44 am
sprite
relatively, yes. Telephone shift, and tonight rob and I are going out. But in between time to rest up.
1:45 am
sprite
which reminds me, I need to get the telephone charging or it won't be ready in time. *hugs* honey. Lovely to have seen you!
1:45 am
grannyrose
nice that you two are going out.where to?
1:45 am
sprite
sleep well, hugs for Don and extra hugs for you alone.

72 Temple Owl
if nu4/6 is a synonym for ne 4/5, and ne 4/5 can become an adjective, why can't nu4/6?
7:38 am
BzznBea
I wondered the same thing, owl.
7:39 am
72 Temple Owl
Enable. frustrating babblers for over 15 years.
7:44 am

Until next time, folks!
8:27 am
kittychan
I don't think nu is a synonym for ne
8:28 am
MollyL
The definition here says it is
8:28 am
kittychan
hunh, I thought it meant something else. Like 'a glob of'
8:33 am
kittychan
I guess I was thinking of what it is when you pule LE at the end: a very small pellet of plastic which serves as raw material in the manufacture of plastic products.
8:42 am
kittychan
nu4/6 is a synonym for ne4/5. I thought it was the same thing as nu**le, which does mean a pellet or glob.

It takes a lot of water to water a lawn. That is why it is one of the things that is banned when water restrictions go in place. Good luck with your bill.
