flosey how is your husband doing?
1:57 am
flosey
well he brought firewood in today to keep both fireplaces going, think the air was good, but still coughing - sounds raspy
1:57 am
flosey
we see the Dr again tomorrow
1:57 am
westford
what are they doing about his eye?
1:58 am
flosey
I don't know what they'll do now, but they're were concerned about the headache - was nasty,
1:58 am
flosey
just not as bad today
1:59 am
westford
hope everything gets settled..sick husbands are no fun
2:00 am
flosey
no, he doesn't tollerate pain well - think he thought he was immune to it
2:00 am
westford
I wonder if the rash was some sort of allergic reaction
2:02 am
flosey
no west, this was a reaction to the meds he was given for the red rash
2:02 am
flosey
no west, this was a reaction to the meds he was given for the red rash
2:02 am
flosey
no west, this was a reaction to the meds he was given for the red rash
guess we've hit the witching hour
2:02 am
flosey
no west, this was a reaction to the meds he was given for the red rash
guess we've hit the witching hour
messages aren't registering
2:02 am
westford
seems like the meds are causing all the problems though
2:03 am
flosey
that was a warning on the box
2:07 am
westford
I just check my email during that time
2:07 am
westford
I like that you call it 'the witching hour' instead of the 'burp' lol
2:08 am
flosey
lol I'm eating icecream to ease scratchy throat (caught from hubby)
2:08 am
westford
I was wondering if the rash on his eye was some sort of allergic reaction too
2:09 am
flosey
no, this was caused by the rash west,
2:09 am
westford
oh no flosey hope you don't get sick too
2:10 am
flosey
apparently the instructions indicated that it could cause cough, and headache and it was a Very bad headache
2:10 am
flosey
bless his heart, he offerred to sleep in another room
2:11 am
westford
very considerate
2:12 am
westford
makes you wonder why they would even allow a prescription like that
2:13 am
flosey
apparently UBC wants to follow it
2:13 am
westford
I suppose he was one of the rare people that have that reaction
2:14 am
flosey
not something I've ever noticed on anyone
2:14 am
westford
I almost wish they wouldn't post all the warnings..guess they have to
2:15 am
flosey
yes, he never would have connected it all
2:16 am
westford
headaches can be so debilitating
2:16 am
westford
sounds almost like a migraine
2:16 am
flosey
he doesn't usually have them
2:18 am
flosey
in a way it does, actually the doc told him to take my pain pills (because he figured he wouldn't write a script for 3 or 4 pills
2:18 am
westford
is he taking them or trying to be brave?
2:19 am
flosey
oh no, he took one when we got home, another at night and (maybe) again tonight, I didn't ask
2:19 am
westford
good for him
2:20 am
flosey
he was flat out yesterday
2:20 am
flosey
with cold compress on head
2:20 am
westford
that must be so hard he seems so active
2:21 am
flosey
he is west, but is getting older so when he works on the farm he comes in more frequently for tea
2:21 am
westford
well all I can say is this was a pretty lousy birthday present for him
2:22 am
flosey
true but he's just happy to see the end of that day
2:22 am
flosey
its the day so many members of the family have been born and died
2:23 am
flosey
his b&d, he, our son, and then a nephew died and a2 or 3 cousins were killed that day
2:23 am
flosey
strange eh!
2:24 am
westford
it certainly is
2:24 am
flosey
his *DAD* b&d, same day (many years later, of course)
2:25 am
flosey
anyway! a bit depressing chog, sorry
2:26 am
westford
my best friend's grandmother and I shared the same birthday and her grandmother died on her birthday..I think she was 89..sometimes I wonder if I will follow Mrs. Kelly
2:27 am
westford
I can just see me falling face down into my cake
2:27 am
flosey
it is strange how one thinks that way - I was named after my mom's best friend - she died at 26 - it did cross my mind at the time
2:28 am
westford
not going to dwell on it..we all have an expiration date, don't we?
2:29 am
westford
on a happier note my mother finally came home yesterday..she's 95 and looks better than me
2:29 am
flosey
yup and we'll just have to live until then - make the most of it
2:30 am
flosey
lovely west, good for your mom, hope you get to enjoy her for a good while yet
2:31 am
westford
thanks flosey..she and jilli share the same birthday
2:31 am
flosey
ah, in May
2:32 am
westford
yes, the 17th
2:33 am
flosey
yes, Sprite has it in her icon clues list
2:34 am
westford
I didn't realize that..I usually just look at what's on for the day
2:35 am
flosey
I keep a week at a time in my bio, makes it a bit easier
2:35 am
westford
haven't seen sprite for awhile..hope everything is all right with her
2:36 am
flosey
occasionally she comes on if I'm still up late, otherwise see her in the early morning
2:36 am
westford
I don't do early mornings lol
2:37 am
flosey
I'm always up early
2:37 am
westford
these winter days get me down..I hate getting up in the dark
2:40 am
flosey
just broke a leg off my keyboard
2:40 am
westford
oh no how did that happen?
2:40 am
flosey
wonder if I can pick up a spare at the shop
2:41 am
flosey
was trying to flip it open and guess I was too hard on it
2:41 am
westford
in the meantime can you prop it up with something?
2:42 am
flosey
just flipped the other one down so it's totally flat
2:43 am
westford
there you go
2:43 am
westford
been using a laptop for so long now
2:44 am
flosey
really, I should make myself get comfortable with it, hubby uses it but this is the main one, emails are all here
2:44 am
flosey
he sometimes watches baseball games on it while sitting in his easy chair
2:45 am
westford
they are a wonder
2:45 am
flosey
yes, they're great, I just have to make myself use it
2:45 am
flosey
much more convenient
2:45 am
westford
do you use a mouse?
2:46 am
flosey
yes - cannot get use to that touchy space thing
2:47 am
westford
took me awhile
2:48 am
flosey
true, if you persevere, I just don't have the patience to do that
2:48 am
flosey
have typed on a keyboard since I was 14
2:49 am
westford
I think I was 14 too when I took my first typing class
2:49 am
westford
manual typewriter
2:49 am
flosey
we had a very handsome teacher, so quite enjoyed it
2:50 am
westford
so did we..Mr. Stanton
2:50 am
flosey
oh yes, they were so old the keys were round with metal ring around them
2:50 am
westford
funny how we remember things
2:50 am
flosey
I'd have to think
2:50 am
flosey
he was just home from the war
2:51 am
westford
I'm so glad I learned to type..they made everyone take the course
2:52 am
flosey
smart thing to do, so they could type their own essays
2:52 am
flosey
first son didn't take it so guess who got to type up his essays
2:52 am
flosey
second one took typing and did his own
2:53 am
westford
did you edit them too?
2:53 am
flosey
good thing he did - he is now comp. tech for Deutchbank Canada
2:54 am
westford
very nice how long has he been with them?
2:54 am
flosey
he's the one who spelled phonetically (and still does)
2:55 am
westford
no problem now with spell check
2:55 am
flosey
quite a while now, he worked at 3 or 4 other places - often when the traders moved on they would ask for him
2:56 am
westford
that's a feather in his cap
2:56 am
flosey
its probably his 4th job and he's been there I think prob. 15 years or so

Ah, the gentleman was my dad. He passed away monday evening,
2:59 am
flosey
oh melon, so sorry to hear
3:00 am
westford
sometimes I read back in the archives and saw the beautiful tribute you wrote melon
3:00 am
melonheadjujube
Thank you. Alzheimer's. His decline was quick and painless. He never didn't know us and was quite happy in the last months of his life.
3:01 am
westford
I was hoping I would see you on here to express my sympathy
3:01 am
melonheadjujube
Thanks, westford. It was helpful for me to write that.
3:01 am
melonheadjujube
and here I am. The Babble community is simply the best of the internet.
3:02 am
westford
truer words were never spoken
3:03 am
flosey
glad things were fast melon - it can be so difficult for family
3:04 am
flosey
my cousin doesn't know anyone, hard on her family
3:04 am
westford
my godmother lingered for 17 years
3:05 am
melonheadjujube
My sister lived closest to him, I'm about 30 miles away. She was heroic. And I have to say a word about my son, Fred. He's 20 and has always had a special bond with his grampa. He wanted to see my dad every day during the last week of his life. He was my conscience. I might have only made it every other, but I could not bear to let him down. He spoke to my dad so sweetly even when he was unresponsive.
3:06 am
westford
that is beautiful what a dear grandson
3:06 am
flosey
what a thoughtful son you have raised melon
3:07 am
melonheadjujube
oh, my west! How hard that must have been. Dad was dx about 3 years ago. His mom & sis had it, sis bedridden for years. He was in assisted living for 2 1/2 years, went to a dementia unit this past august after two months of in and out of hospitals. my sis and I agreed, no more hospitalizations, only quality of life mattered.
3:08 am
melonheadjujube
Thank you. He is a mentsch. Has some learning disabilities and language processing issues, but tremendous emotional intelligence. My fondest wish is that he find someone special. He'll be a wonderful boyfriend and hopefully husband to somebody. Handsome, too.
3:09 am

melonheadjujube
Chiffon is pie, too. I am hungry!
3:10 am
westford
that's true..so am I
3:10 am
westford
no eclairs or chiffon pie here though
3:12 am
melonheadjujube
actually I made some late night hot chocolate. I thicken it with a little tapioca starch, pour it over Reddi-whip, and sprinkle a tad of salt on top. yum!
3:12 am
westford
that sounds good
3:13 am
melonheadjujube
espcially good with a mint hot chocolate mix. and pretzels on the side.
3:13 am
westford
I never think about hot chocolate since the kids are gone
3:14 am
westford
I love to stick pretzels in my icecream thought I was the only one
3:14 am
melonheadjujube
I need to think about it a little less ;) Then there's summer = root beer floats.
3:14 am

what's wrong?
3:19 am
flosey
how unusual these days ruby. But so glad, it means hubby doesn't have to get out of bed
3:19 am
westford
and yes housecalls are a thing of the past
3:20 am
rubyfoo
his back hurts enough for him to go "ou ou ou" but not enough for him to lift stuff. He won't take it easy and I am afraid to give him my pain meds as he takes stuff for his heart
3:20 am
rubyfoo
this Md has treated Burt for about 17 years
3:20 am
rubyfoo
he's not the sharpest blade in the drawer, but at least he's kind
3:21 am
westford
kindness is a big plus in my book
3:24 am
flosey
well, I finished off the ice cream, felt so good on my throat, not to get to bed before it starts feeling scratchy again
3:24 am
flosey
goodnight west and ruby

ice cream cures many ills!

3:25 am
flosey

3:26 am
flosey
his old self will do west, he's a sweetie
3:27 am
westford
I wonder if my husband will come down with something..these things come in threes
3:28 am
flosey
oh dear, my cousin always believe in that - once there were 4 incidents so she had to rule out one!
3:28 am
westford
that's kind of funny
3:29 am

3:46 am
westford
nah I missed it too lol
3:46 am
westford
another is ed 4/6..like a whirlpool but ends in a vowel
3:47 am
rubyfoo
that's funny, I tried the ed4 with the first vowel (an icelandic saga) and it wouldn't accept it!
3:47 am
westford
the last one I have is et 4/5 e and tiny carrier of lime disease
3:48 am
westford
I know..that's one of my favorite words and it is a word !
3:48 am

3:50 am
rubyfoo
"only" 70 left
3:50 am
westford
you haven't been here that long
3:51 am
westford
the k's were easy for a change
3:52 am
rubyfoo
in playing Fr scrabble, I am unable to find any k's
3:54 am
westford
you should have played Fr scrabble with your 'guest'
3:54 am
rubyfoo
it was bad enough playing in English; she doesn't know Fr
3:54 am
rubyfoo
I am terrible in Fr scrab
3:55 am
westford
I assume they made their flight lol
3:55 am
rubyfoo
I play only occasionally with a neighbor and have only won once and she was stunned
3:55 am
rubyfoo
thank God!
3:56 am
westford
I have great admiration for people who can speak another language
3:57 am
rubyfoo
no choice when I moved here; it was sink or swim
3:57 am
rubyfoo
d husband, who took many years of private lessons, won't speak to anybody
3:57 am
rubyfoo
I had Fr in school, but we didn't speak
3:57 am
westford
that's a shame..most people are so willing to help
3:58 am
rubyfoo
I had been told that the French were intolerant, but I find them lovely, overlooking my errors (many) and helping
3:58 am
rubyfoo
I've only had two nasties in 15 years who refused to understand me
3:59 am
rubyfoo
and they appreciate one's efforts as they don't speak a second language
3:59 am
westford
they were probably nasty to everyone
4:00 am
rubyfoo
one was a butcher and, finally, the lady behind me yelled at him and told him what I wanted!

12:50 pm

It never ceases to amaze me what clues work and what clues do not. I would think the word ca*** (a trainee in the military) would be much more widely recognized that "Waiting For Go5", an absurdist play.

The gn word refers to unrecognized Gospels.

Peri, that book bored me to tears in the first chapter or two. I couldn't get beyond that.
7:47 pm
periwinkle
did you see the movie,Molly? aside from the violent parts which I only peeked out the movie was too slow for me
7:47 pm
jillibus
Thanks for the offer, min, but I'm really not concentrating -- have the news on, having a pre-supper vodka, then have to warm up the Mystery Meal on Wheel, etc etc. But I always enjoy your stories :-)
7:47 pm

my sister said you had to get past the first part of the book

Here's a story for today's da4/5: January 26,2012. I had a cl5/12 driving record until a week ago.Then one day I got pulled over by a police of 6/39r who ci 5/14 me for speeding.So I started crying hoping to get him to forget about giving me a ticket.I told the cop that I had to get to the hospital to see my very sick and fr5/16 Grandma. He just said, "speeding causes de4/6ly accidents." Then I tried to tell him that it was not fa4/ that he pulled me over because I was just following the flow of traffic. My second excuse also did not sufi4/8 either. Then he told me he did not like obnoxious li 4/4s. So I fa 6/30 to get him to drop the ticket. As he st5/12 there dra4/7ing up the ticket,I got all ri5/12 up and told him that it was go 5/14 like him that give cops a bad reputation. Then he li6/30 up his head and his face ic 4/6 over. My stomach started to twist in kn 5/18 as I realized what I had said. He told me to get out of the car. I did and he le 4/5 me to his car.Then he le5/10 on his car and tried to el6/21 more info from me that was none of his business.I wish I could fi 4/7 a big lawsuit against him for prying into my business.I hope that you have no7/36 some more words with this story. I am going to find some fo 4/8 to snack on. I'll return to Babbleland, as I of 5/16 do, tomorrow.

the home nurses and I are concerned about the lack of healing of the skin where there was a split, and the amount of swelling.
10:22 pm
jillibus
I have 36 left and am also watching/listening to "The Nature of Things" on CBC
10:22 pm
Bugsaw
oh no. I was hopiong the xrays might mean you could get the cast off and life as you knew it would resume
10:22 pm
jillibus
All about how animals think.
10:22 pm
Bugsaw
hoping, not hopoing
10:22 pm
stidmama
oh dear, jill -- that's not a good sign, I think.
10:23 pm
stidmama
redness? pain?
10:23 pm
stidmama
have you consulted a doc about it?
10:23 pm
jillibus
I'm not using the Aircast now, trying not to irritate the skin.
10:24 pm
jillibus
My doc has been away.
10:24 pm
stidmama
hm. and no one "on call" who could be consulted?
10:25 pm
jillibus
Recovery and walking normally will be slow, according to the physiotherapist. I am now allowed "featherweight" on the affected leg, using a walker frame (2 wheels) -- otherwise stillthe wheelchair.
10:26 pm
stidmama
that's good progress...

stid, it's also a matter of getting out of here in the wheelchair -- need to get a kind soul to drive me. Next doo neighbour has been a wonderful help. He is actually going to take me to a birthday party on Saturday afternoon - my only just for fun outing since Dec 9!
10:28 pm
jillibus
Hooray for stidmama!!!
10:28 pm
Bugsaw
when are you planning to go to Australia Jilli?
10:29 pm
jillibus
bugs, I'm HOPING to go on March 6, but...
10:30 pm
Bugsaw
hmmm. It would be more fun if you could walk by then but it might takea while to build up muscle again
10:30 pm
jillibus
I'm doing muscle exercises 3 times a day, bugs
10:31 pm
Bugsaw
then you might make it with all of us helping
10:31 pm
jillibus
and will be seeing the physio 3 times a week after Feb 2 if I get the all clear
10:31 pm
jillibus
LOL bugs!
10:34 pm
stidmama
I hope you are mending well enough to have fun on your trip Jill -- about the time you get back I think my grandfather will be returning from his Central American winter.
10:35 pm
jillibus
stid, I just hope I mend well enough to TAKE the trip at this point.
10:35 pm
stidmama
I think I will head out. I am happy to see you both/all, but need to get myself pulled together for tomorrow. I am taking stidkid #2 to his zero-hour class so have to be up around 5:30. *sigh* I am NOT an early-morning person in winter.
10:36 pm
stidmama
Yes, Jill -- I am thinking optimistically. Enjoy it, I get about one optimistic thought a week. *wicked mama grin*
10:36 pm
jillibus
omg, stid -- 5:30 rising is not fun. I'll have to do it on Feb 2, to get to the surgeon in Victoria for the 9:30 am appointment -- ferries, y'know...
10:36 pm
stidmama
Jill, if you see a LOT of redness, pus oozing out of the area, or red lines extending out, do not hesitate to get to the closest ER/hospital ASAP. You know this, I am just fussing...
10:37 pm
Bugsaw
It is times like these when you wonder if letting him get a drivers license is worth it.
10:38 pm
jillibus
don't worry, stid -- regular visits from the very vigilant home nurses will see to that.
10:38 pm
stidmama
I can't AFFORD the insurance, bugs! And I don't have a spare car... LOL
10:38 pm
stidmama
okay, *fluffs pillows for Jill and brings appropriate liquid medications*
10:38 pm
stidmama
But yes, I am starting to look forward to him being a little more independent! Some day...
10:39 pm
jillibus
ah, nice wine, thanks, stid ;-)
10:39 pm
Bugsaw
I got around the insurance by having son put the amount of money that my premiums would increase if he hit anything in a bank account in my name. If my rates went up, it wouldn't matter to me. If nothing happened, he got the money.
10:39 pm
Bugsaw
No car accidents for my cheapskates who take after their cheapskate mother.... lol
10:39 pm
stidmama
:-) It's the pineapple wine from Westport Winery. A silly little dessert wine, but pleasant.
10:40 pm
stidmama
that's a GREAT idea, bugs!
10:40 pm
Bugsaw
finally done myself. must head out too
10:40 pm
jillibus

10:42 pm
