hi sprite, how did you go
3:53 am
Aussieme

Hey Spritey !! {{a million hugs for Spritey}}
3:54 am
sprite

it was the same unkind doctor who declared me almost completely healthy 3 years ago. But he was not really unkind this time, seemed to take me seriously now. He expects that for now I will be found completely unable to work, if the employment expert agrees. And he wants me back for a new assessment in 6 - 12 months.
3:54 am
sprite

thanks for those hugs, I really need them :)
3:56 am
dizgrannie

YAHOO!!! me did it again...don't have pro so don't get the sparklies..LOL
3:56 am

hi Sprite - and you are still in one piece which is good! do you need to see the employment expert now or has that already been done?

no, I need to see that expert pretty soon, I expect. After that, it will be decided how much benefit I am going to get. Not sure about the one piece, actually, I am stressed out and filled with cotton thingies ;)
4:01 am
sprite

did I tell my work has neglected to register my being sick since 2 years with the personnel department? THey are rushing things now, so I expect to hear from that expert this week or next.
4:02 am
lynxxx

Just take (and enjoy) one day at a time Sprite, thats all any of us can do. I do hope they can fast track this for you
4:03 am
Andree

good luck sprite and keep your chin up and try not to get too stressed
4:04 am
sprite

good advice, lyn. And yes, I think the rushing might not be that bad, now that the dreaded assessment is over for now. All in all things seem to go as best as they can. All your good thoughts really help. Do I sound crazy when I say I could feel people thinking of me and supporting me?
4:04 am
Andree

I am off to have some dinner now , happy babbling everyone
4:04 am

thanks Andree. Worst stress is over now, this is the reaction. I'll be death warmed up for the next couple of days, but that will pass.

I like the expression, lynxxx! No, not really, more like somebody pulled the plug and all my energy has drawn away. Have been extremely stressed working up to the assessment, now the reaction.
4:10 am

west: in a manner of speaking. Broke down 2 years ago, after many years of working handicapped and not getting any help or consideration at work.

4:12 am
westford

hi aussie haven't seen you in awhile
4:12 am
sprite

am not really happy with the short term re-assessment, but that was to be expected. They don't like people getting a benefit here, they do all they can to get them working again. But we will cross that bridge over 6 - 12 months, for now it looks good.
4:12 am

how's your little one?

Caya seems to be a little better today. Still looks like a panda bear, but the deep black is now more like blue, and she is a little less tired.

4:16 am
sprite

lol, she is so muck like her mum... with that little bit more energy she is ready to jump off and go. Told her that she needs to use it for healing up further. That she can do a little bit more today, but with moderation and still lots of rest.
4:16 am

just a quiet ceremony, and then a big shin-dig afterwards, her Hubby-to-be is a Scotsman !

flosey have they considered allergies?
4:33 am
westford

I like all those extra vowels lol
4:33 am
hydra

You mean they don't use a dictionary with both spellings? Yet other words are allowed with both 'or' and 'our' endings. Grrrrrr!
4:34 am

4:37 am
flosey

oh, lol - well it would be nice to come to your Victoria
4:38 am

I wish I had some produce from the markets are poor quality
5:41 am

fish is my favorite any way any time
5:42 am

fresh tomatoes, green peppers, onions ... all make it perfect. Tomatoes are always the hardest for me to find because I only have flower beds anymore. I have to depend on friends to drop off tomatoes.

Sadly, I'm the only one in our house who likes Sweet and Sour, indeed any sauces.:(
5:45 am
Merk

That sounds like a good recipe, Jacula, but I would suggest using fresh garlic.
5:46 am
Jacula

Merk - I do, but it's okay with the dried.
5:46 am
Merk

my poor hubby hated sweet and sour because he couldn't get past the pineapple, but his tastes have matured and now I can make it
5:46 am
westford

fresh garlic already chopped
5:47 am
Jacula

West - I qu5 like chopping garlic into tiny pieces - it's therapeutic.:)
5:47 am
westford

5:48 am
Jacula

Other half likes tomato based pasta sauces I make but not cheese or sweet& sour ,or wine ones etc.
5:49 am

6:18 am

I think I would be inclined to add beef boulian when cooking the meet and let it simmer down into the meat..since not adding pork and the flavour that pork brings to meat
6:19 am

good idea carlee I'll try that next time
6:19 am

I'll be 59 in a couple of months. Seems quite unbelievable sometimes, but not bad at all.
6:40 am
westford

we took her daughter to college and on the way back we stopped to get gas in a little town in NY and she told the attendant we were Thelma and Louise

Poor RTH, being young.
6:41 am
westford

he just looked at us and laughed
6:41 am
Eva

Steeling myself to go and look at th garden. It was quite cold last night and I'm afraid my basil may not have made it. Lots of pesto in the freezer already, but one can never have enough.
6:42 am
redturtlehead

Its a terrible burden, but I will bear it.
6:42 am
Jacula

Did you both have your headscarves and sunglasses on, West?
6:42 am
westford

6:42 am
carleekat

Jacula

LOL, Red.
6:42 am
periwinkle

how do you freeze pesto so that it doesn't get brown
6:42 am
Scrabbler

RTH, someday you will be older + wiser as we are, and I aspire to be like Annie someday.

6:43 am
redturtlehead

Yes, I am older each day, it beats the alternative.
6:43 am
carleekat

sneezing fit...hurting ribs
6:43 am
Scrabbler

Yep, I would rather be getting older than be buried 6 feet under.
6:44 am
Anniebrook

6:45 am
Jacula

Hi FM.
6:45 am
Scrabbler

Yes, I just read the front page of the newspaper before I came here.
6:45 am
Eva

I've never had the problem peri. But you have to make the pesto very soon after the basil is picked, so it is still bright green. Then I just dump it, and garlic, olive oil, any combo of pine nuts, pecans, walnuts that I'm in the mood for, and lots of very good parmesan reggiano, and freeze imeediately. Some batches stay a lighter green than others but they are all green. Some people just do the basil and oil and freeze it in ice cube trays to save freezer room and then ad the rest later.
6:45 am
westford

7 years' ago I remember the image of the first plane going into the tower and thinking it was an accident, until 2nd one ... I called my son downstairs and we watched events unfold in absolute horror. The image of people leaping from the building will always be etched on my mind.
6:52 am
westford

Eva I wish I had you next door your pesto sounds delicious

Jacula

'Bye red.

I was at work listeing to a mother of a pilot, we were all in shock, her son was not flying that day. The real shock hit when we realized the other planes how the story unfolded. My son who is very ethnic looking was told to stay in his dorm at college in Florida. When he came home for

6:56 am
Anniebrook

westford, the first time I visited Ogunquit many years ago I fell in love with the place...it is lovely
6:57 am
westford

what part of Vermont?
6:57 am
Eva

7 years ago I had just quit my job and was on my way to a volunteer job at Franlin Park Zoo-something I had always wanted to do. When the news came on of the first plane something sounded very, very wrong. When the rest unfolded I was holding two orphaned baby possums and can remember crying and talking to the possums about how lucky they were not to be human, and how no other animal ws capable of our level of insanity. Or at least not with opposable thumbs and a large prefrontal cortex capable of putting the insanity into such terrible action.l Really I think that humans are not such a great experiment.
6:57 am
westford

Ogunquit is lovely but being over built like every place else
6:58 am
Eva

west-Ogunquit is beautiful. We are near Montpelier-north central.
6:59 am

Eva we're the only mammals who wage war..
7:00 am
Eva

I know-I hadn't been there in a long time and when I drove north to MOnhegan I ws shocked by the huge build up of the factory outlets. St Albans is way, way out there.....do they like it?
7:00 am
westford

I suppose so that's all they've ever known

7:01 am
Scrabbler

I am back--computer is updated and rebooted. DOn't you hate it when a window pops up: The updates have completed but you must restart your computer.
7:01 am
Eva

It's not that I think that other animals are so much purer emotionally than we are....if they could wage organized war, they probably would. But I wish that nature would arrange for some sort of developmental screening process where one's technical abilities could not exceed one's wisdom.
7:01 am
Anniebrook

I was looking out my living room window when I saw this huge cloud that looked like dust around the Twin Towers. I face the city. I turned on my TV and watched in horror. I still can't believe it.
7:02 am
Eva

Do you live in the city Annie? I grew up there, and my brother still lives there, but I left in 67.
7:03 am
westford

that must have been horrible annie my husband was working temporarily less than a mile from the Pentagon they heard the explosion before they knew what was going on I was home in MA

My friend that works for Verizon was in their Manhattan office and saw everything happen.

Eva

my sister-in-law worked at 1 Financial Plaza. She has never been able to talk about it much. Except for the hours it took her and a crowd of fellow travelers to walk their way home on the upper west side.
7:06 am
Anniebrook

Eva, how awful! I was far enough away and was affected by what I was witnessing. I cant imagine being down there. My friends daughter walked down 82 flights of stairs. Her boss told everyone to get out as soon as it happened. He saved her life.
7:07 am
westford

there were a lot of heroes that day
7:07 am
Scrabbler

For sure, Westford!
7:08 am
Eva

Annie I didn't realize until just now that after that day, when I finally reached them and found out they wre okay, we have never talked about it again. I think I'll go out, check the basil, take a wallk and just take in some of these memories and feelings. See you later.
7:09 am
Anniebrook

Later, Eva and say a prayer for the ones that were lost.

you are pretty inland... just make sure cell phone is charge, you have alternate light source if electricty goes out, a little food you don't have to cook... and you'll be fine... water is mostly for areas with flooding where sources can become contaminated
8:38 am

we are pretty far inland, but this is a big/wide storm, so apparently we are in for some hard wind and rain even here.
8:39 am
eieios

where are you, kje?

A fire broke out Thursday in the tunnel under the English Channel but all passengers are safe, Eurotunnel officials said.

They were evacuated through a service tunnel, the officials said.

Traffic was suspended by the fire which broke out on the French end of the tunnel.

The Associated Press reported 32 people were aboard a shuttle train transporting trucks where the fire broke out on the London-Paris service.

He expects I will get full disability benefits, if the employment expert agrees with him. And he declared I cannot work more than 10 hours a week, so that is very low.

11:35 am
72 Temple Owl

cait - do you think they will mentin it? not exactly a topic of dinner convo
11:35 am
sprite

I would leave it with "This must be very hard for you" and words like that, cait. And not going into the matter.
11:36 am

11:36 am
leighprefect

Caitlyn: Good question, really tough. Hmm....I say try to brush it off with a quick comment if they bring it up. Something about being sorry that they are facing such a tough time, and that you feel that in the end, everything will work out as it should.
11:36 am

11:39 am
leighprefect

Cait: Good luck! And you could also talk to someone else you know will be there, and maybe come up with a signal between you so you can save each other from the uncomfortable conversation if necessary.
11:39 am
FMitch

I can't add much to what has already been said cait.
11:40 am
caitlyn

11:40 am

AsGreen

my almost 10 year old son was playing at a friend's house "until 5:30" which worked out well since my daughter and I had an errand to do. at 5pm I got home and he rode by on his bike (which he hadn't had when he left), then came up and said, "I'm so frustrated. We rode all the way to Towne Deli and Casey (the friend) had dropped his money!"....
11:42 am
AsGreen

so... a) he came home and got his bike, b) they rode on a BUSY road to a "hangout" - ooooh shooot, doorbell, brb
11:44 am
caitlyn

We are all waiting for the rest of the problem
11:44 am
Vicuna

The suspense is killing us.
11:44 am
westford

while we're waiting..Caitlyn are you the scout leader who did Anne of Green Gables with your troop?
11:44 am

Afternoon, cats and kittens. Ooh. Someone is going to be grounded.
11:44 am
caitlyn

Hi Judi
11:45 am
FMitch

That was carleekat west
11:45 am

Was that carleekat maybe?
11:45 am
westford

oh too bad wondered how it turned out
11:45 am
leighprefect

Hey Judi
11:45 am
Vicuna

Oh, I guess it was! lol
11:45 am
westford

oh that could be
11:45 am
FMitch

lol
11:45 am
hurshy

i remember she told me all about it, it went very well.
11:45 am
westford

swapped recipes with her this a.m.
11:46 am
caitlyn

I could do caitlyn under waterLOL
11:46 am
westford

that was so clever wish we had done something similar back in the dark ages when I was a scout leader
11:46 am
FMitch

Vi is bead princess still beading or has the novelty worn off yet?
11:46 am
AsGreen

wow, that was bad timing, let me scroll back
11:46 am
kje

OK, back. Just wanted to email Autumn a thank you
11:47 am
westford

must make lunch but won't go until I hear the rest lol
11:47 am

Afternoon all, letting lunch digest before long gym session.
11:47 am
caitlyn

Hi red
11:48 am
westford

all appointments done red?
11:48 am
Vicuna

She's slowed down a fair bit, FM. She was back to her papercrafting. But there are quite a few bracelets waiting for me to do the finishing up knots, and she's been nagging me quite a bit to do them, so she's still pretty into it.
11:48 am
AsGreen

so, anyway, he didn't even get the bad part... he said to me, "I was going to call you but Casey said it was ok, he had money" - how crazy -
11:48 am
redturtlehead

Hi Caitlyn.
11:48 am
kje

ASG - just read back... continue
11:48 am
westford

three letter word asgreen he's a BOY
11:48 am
redturtlehead

Yes, no more for the week. Whoo Hoo.
11:49 am
AsGreen

so, I very calmly explained to him that a 9 year old should NOT be coming and getting his bike, and taking a ride into town to buy snacks without telling his "mommy"
11:49 am
kje

that is normal for him not to get why you'd be upset... his important issue was money for junk... yours is safety... clearly you 2 do not think alike - LOL
11:49 am
caitlyn

Did his friends mum know they were out on their bikes?And is he road safe?
11:49 am
leighprefect

AsG- Just out of curiosity, where in Jersey are you?
11:49 am
redturtlehead

Oh ASG, I am glad he is OK.
11:49 am
AsGreen

to which he replied, as calmly, "well, I was going to call, but as I said, Casey had $$, and besides, if I had called, MOM, would you have let me?"
11:49 am
Vicuna

Probably better that he doesn't realize it's bad than that he knows it's bad and hopes to get away with it anyway.
11:50 am
westford

someday he will give you 2 darling granddaughters ( mine did ) lol
11:50 am
AsGreen

I'm in Summit Leigh
11:50 am
kje

LOLOL - smart kid - LOLOL
11:50 am
hurshy

ah, the classic vanessa problem.
11:50 am
Vicuna

Mmmm... well, he may begin verging into option two, there, then...
11:50 am
AsGreen

so, parents, I KNOW that I have to let him grow up, BUT, I do think 9 (well, almost 10) is too young to be off "shopping for snacks"... I MAKE GREAT snacks
11:51 am
caitlyn

LOL green
11:51 am
kje

agree asg - he must let you know where he is
11:51 am
leighprefect

AsG-Maybe just explain to him that you'd like for him to inform you of where he is.
11:51 am
Vicuna

I don't think the snacks are the point, AsGreen!
11:51 am
redturtlehead

Asg last summer I saw two kids in a gas station in town with about 5 or 6 dollars they made from mowing lawns or something...they were so funny, picking and choosing junk and calculating how much they could get....
11:51 am
kje

re; snacks... come on... you are nowhere near as fun as the deli at that age
11:52 am
AsGreen

(I'm definitely being a little tongue in cheek), but seriously, I don't like him going off - and I won't get him a cell phone until middle school....
11:52 am
redturtlehead

It was entertaining, but of course he needed to let you know where he was!
11:52 am
kje

nope... real issue asg - 9 is not that old
11:53 am
caitlyn

What does the other mum think about what happened?
11:53 am
leighprefect

Because, if you had have assumed that he was at his friend's house, and something bad happened....Well, I won't finish. Don't like thinking in any way like that,
11:53 am
kje

hold a sec - I think there are foreigners in my backyard...
11:53 am
AsGreen

I was joking about the snacks part.... but anyway, my other issue is that part of the way to get there is a very busy double line road with curves and no lights... it's dangerous
11:53 am
leighprefect

Maybe suggest another place to go instead to get their treats?
11:53 am
redturtlehead

I am glad he is OK, the road would be what bothered me too.
11:54 am
Judi

So, AsGreen. Did you ground his little wandering butt?
11:54 am
kje

ground him ground him gorund him...
11:54 am
AsGreen

and the friend, who is a GOOD kid, has parents with MUCH different values than I do. the mom is "home" but has a rotating staff if you know what I mean....and not much supervision.
11:54 am
caitlyn

Our junior scholle always give bike safety lessons does your school do that?
11:54 am
redturtlehead

what in the yard kje?
11:55 am
caitlyn

School!!
11:55 am
leighprefect

AsG-On the bright side...At least he was with friends. Explain NEVER to do it alone.
11:55 am
kje

next door... men working, not sure of the language, but not spanish which is most common around here... also hae a large west african pop - it may be one of those dialects
11:55 am
Vicuna

Ah well, wandering off to other pursuits for a while. In light of the conversation, I'll be sure to call if I decide to go anywhere else. Farewell, all!
11:56 am
caitlyn

Bye Vi see you soon
11:56 am
westford

you'd better vi lol
11:56 am
kje

friends is not the bottom issue - going without permission is the issue... even dangerous road is not for him to judge... that is why he asks
11:56 am
AsGreen

I didn't ground him this time - he saw how upset I was and started crying, "you don't believe me but I WAS going to call you"... to which I replied, "but, you didn't.... and know that you know, you may never do that again...so you aren't in trouble this time, but now you know (again) that our rules are different," yada yada yada
11:56 am
Judi

BBL, lunch.
11:56 am
kje

bye vi... where are you going?
11:56 am
AsGreen

Vi - NO HANGOUTS EITHER - I make GREAT snacks if you want to pop over!

westford

lunch time here too then I have to get a new driver's license
11:58 am
kje

11:58 am
AsGreen

ok, well call me before going out so I can say no and humiliate you in front of your friends
11:58 am
westford

hoping I can just turn the old one in
11:58 am
kje

that was for the thang word which doesn't exist... it just popped into my head after that
11:58 am
redturtlehead

good luck Westford! long lines await you.
11:58 am
kje

the guys are super skinny and sweaty
11:58 am
westford

I hate long lines
11:58 am
AsGreen

shoot, I should really go do something productive too..... and I just hit the halfway point for the grid
11:59 am

12:00 pm
redturtlehead

dunno? New York had some long lines when I lived there, but I see I am corrected1
12:00 pm
hurshy

i think hangouts are a nice way for kids to get independence, when they are not reached by biking on dangerous roads.
12:00 pm
caitlyn

AsG as I said earler its good to run problems over with the babble buddies
12:00 pm
kje

but the other interesting thing is that they minded much less than other states with shorter lines... just expected it I guess... learned helplessness
12:01 pm
AsGreen

hursh, for 9 though? I think middle school
12:01 pm
kje

missing one F
12:01 pm
westford

my favorite thing is finally getting up to a window and not having what I'm supposed to have
12:01 pm
hurshy

did you also mention, in addition to "don't do THAT again", that in future if he thinks he ought to check with you first, and he thinks you might say no, don't just ignore that prick of conscience! either assume that he's right and you will say no, and therefore don't do it, or actually check with you.
12:01 pm
hurshy

i mean about any issue that hasn't been explicitly discussed.

I am poofing bye all
12:02 pm

I think that's why he was so upset - once he thought about it, he knew it was a bit over the top
12:02 pm

redturtlehead

Ooops.
12:03 pm
hurshy

that's really good, that he recognizes that now. and i think if you encourage him to make use of his conscience, then that helps him feel more empowered than if he just had a list of dos and don'ts
12:03 pm

very sleepy, nappy.

1:07 pm
sprite

the assessment went ok. It was the same unkind doctor that declared me almost healthy 3 years ago, but this time he took me seriously. He expects I will get full disability benefits, if the employment expert agrees with him. Looks good.
1:07 pm
sprite

will get a re-assessment within a year, so still some more stress to go, but at least this one seems to go ok.
1:07 pm

oh! WTG elder! I need 8 more, almost done. And then to bed for a very long night.

we all need teachers, elder. And we all are teachers, whether we realise it or not. You are wise in doing things bit by bit. And I learn from you. Thanks and a big *hug*. I am going to have a long night, so must bid you goodnight now. Be well and take care of you :)

i have i feel a legitimate 10 letter word but it keeps getting thrown out i have spelt it correctly
1:17 pm
sprite

jtdp, if your word is fa****ite(s), it is not valid. Should be, but isn't in this dictionary. Very frustrating!
1:17 pm
jtdp

it is
1:17 pm
sprite

lots of us have fumed about it not being valid today. Seems we are smarter than the enable dictionary :)
1:18 pm
elder

Sprite, I wish for you and her speedy recovery. She has been through a lot lately and her symptoms this might be the physical results of her trauma.Take care and rest as much as possible.
1:20 pm
sprite

she is a very sensitive girl, so I wouldn't be surprised. I hope it all gets better soon. Thanks for the good wishes, elder!
I just realised I must update the icon themes before I hit the hay. Back soon to check if I did it correctly.
1:20 pm
elder

Might be because the the 'f' word is spelt in the English form.

Try "Black Cohosh" capsules...they help me!

Don't say Black Kohosh. Didn't work for me and is also a problem due to famil cancer thing.

Sorry to hear, Jacula...my power surges were surgically induced and so far I've not had to resort to HRT...*knock on wood*
10:10 pm
Jacula

I found it friendly, except that it accepted the British spelling of fe6/39 but would not allow the 'pet' version and plural.
10:10 pm
Jellen

Hi, all. What areas of knowledge, Jac?
10:10 pm
Jacula

Is tim your chap, Jellen?
10:10 pm

Knowledge of rocks and minerals is handy, for one.

Oh, good for you Jellen. He'sa handsome guy.

Don't tell him I said that though, you know how easily it goes to their heads.

se5/14 - plural of the se4 before it. Sounds like a milk pudding.

I've always found it very therapeutic to write

10:29 pm

We have a 12-year age difference, pug (he's younger than me). I'm Taurean (so I'm the 'old Cow') and he's Arian, so he's the 'grumpy old man'.
10:29 pm
pugmama763

I doubt I could break the habit now....
10:29 pm
Jacula

Or rather the grumpy old goat, or just the Old Goat!
10:29 pm

No worries, pug. Now I know, I won't take offence.
10:30 pm

good lord I wouldn't wish to witness one of those spats!!!

Have you noticed that men get the grumpy gene earlier than women do?
10:30 pm
pugmama763

taurus VS aries!!!! YIKES!!!
10:31 pm
pugmama763

can't say that I have but they are certainly born with the childish gene...
10:31 pm
Jacula

Did I just say aries? My mistake. I'm tired. Ex-hub was Aries. I meant Capricorn for the 'old goat'.
10:32 pm
pugmama763

even worse THE 2 most stubborn signs in the Zodiac!!!!
10:32 pm

LOL - we rub along okay, pug.
10:33 pm
Nef

How often do you find the zodiac thing works the way *they* say it does?
10:33 pm
pugmama763

true neither sign is prone to big outbursts but the LONG BROODING ICY silences....
10:33 pm
Jacula

Actually, after just over 5 years, we're still rubbing along very well.
10:34 pm
Jacula

No, I have never gone in for that silence thing and I won't put up with it from anyone else.
10:34 pm
pugmama763

actually nef very frequently if you're talking REAL astrology & not that hokey bull jive in the daily paper.
10:35 pm
Jacula

We both came out of bad marriages and I think that makes a difference to how we approach things.
10:35 pm
Nef

really? Because I'm a Taurus and hubby is an Aquarian and we have a great relationship
10:35 pm
pugmama763

then you are indeed a well evolved Taurus Jac! :)

10:35 pm

And (according to what I've read) we shouldn't
10:36 pm
Jacula

pug - I know about real astrology, that's why I mentioned our star signs. I used to plot personal horoscopes for people at one time.
10:36 pm
pugmama763

yes but have you done complete charts & compared the whole picture?
10:36 pm
Jacula

Well, pug, it does depend on where all the planets were when you were born.
10:37 pm
nDanLia

also differs on parts of cycles involved, etc
10:37 pm
pugmama763

very good for you Jac never had the patience for complex charting myself but I'm hardly unaware4
10:37 pm
Nef

no, can't say I have done that. I became disillusioned when the superficial stuff didn't work
10:37 pm
pugmama763

Sun sign is only one part of the picture Nef
10:38 pm
pugmama763

my 2 sisters & I are ALL Leo but different as can be on the surface
10:39 pm
pugmama763

the eldest has so many planets in Scorpio she often acts more like one than a Leo
10:39 pm
Nef

really? I guess I just never thought it was worth investigating
10:39 pm
Jacula

You have to take in the sun sign, moon sign, conjunctions and aspects. Most media horoscopes are based merely on your sun sign.
10:40 pm
Jacula

I have the Sun, Venus and Mercury in Taurus, the Moon in Aquarius, Saturn in Saggitarius, Neptune in Scorpio, Jupiter in Virgo, Plute and Uranus in Leo and Mars n Gemini.

11:04 pm

I have far more serious side effects, so I've no option but HRT - we've talked about this before, and the GYN watches me like a hawk, with extra annual tests
11:04 pm
tygerbryght

yw, moon
11:04 pm
Jacula

Thing is, about HRT, FM. I have friends who say or have said that, but I also know far too many women who spent 10-12 years on it and then lost one or both breasts.
11:05 pm
tygerbryght

but I was spayed at 29, too, and have had intervals off HRT for as long as I could stand
11:05 pm
FMitch

eek, glad I didn't even have to consider that as a possibility then
11:06 pm
autumn moon

(thinking that was a really cute way of putting it, tyger) My surgeon didn't want to put me on HRT unless the symptoms got in the way of quality of life
11:07 pm
Jacula

Well, the 'Pill' didn't sit me when I was younger, I kept getting leg pains, so, I don't think HRT is for me. I'll keep on taking the herbal stuff and drinking soya and eating various seeds and beans until I rattle. Fortunately, I love fish.

Never discuss religion or politics with anyone other than family or close friends, is my rule. Only discuss female problems with female friends on the internet or in a room, if you need to clear it.

but warning, fa6ite ain't in the list
11:11 pm

OR plural. I've put them in the thread on that
11:11 pm

fa6/30 is the British spelling of 'to do a good dead for or to set about others'.

One has to get ones priorities right!
11:14 pm

Fi - you might as well stay upi now if you think you can get any words at the flip. If you think you'd rather leave it until you've had enought sleep (like I often do), then go and come back later.xx

Jacula

She tried to be as secy and sirenlike as she could be, but our faithful milklman still shrugged her off and left the house to do his milk round.
11:21 pm

tyger - comment only you're probably like the majority of people re politics; unfortunately some at either end are so like one another - blame others for being closed minded & poke lots of fun at them, but can't handle it being reciprocated or seeing the image in the mirror; but its all words; just be proud you know what you are
