1:16 am

rubyfoo

We just go to a milti-plex and hope for the best. Saw Hugo and The Artist that way.

1:16 am

westford

heard they were both excellent

1:17 am

rubyfoo

yes, and neither of us had read any reviews

1:17 am

rubyfoo

so we were totally surprised and delighted

1:17 am

jillibus

I missed them both -- movies are here for a very short time in our tiny theatre

1:17 am

flosey

our little cinema had the Iron Lady on this weekend - kids were over so I missed it

1:18 am

jillibus

I missed it too and really wanted to see all of them

1:18 am

westford

we just wait..can't abide theatres..too much $$

1:18 am

rubyfoo

mostly, I watch movies on TV with husband, but getting out of this circus is a great pleasure

1:18 am

1:18 am

rubyfoo

1:19 am

westford

1:19 am

flosey

that's fun ruby

1:19 am

jillibus

It is -- just wish it was more accessible -- the building opens at 7pm on weekdays and there's a 2 pm matinee on Sundays, and that's all.

1:23 am

westford

1:23 am

westford

2:20 am

jillibus

flosey -- I finally went to morewords for the im and found it -- didn't know it was a hospice (or hostel?) and thought the Turkish building was a minaret.

2:20 am

2:24 am

rubyfoo

what westford said!

2:25 am

jillibus

just a nuisance, sprite -- plastic surgery on my chin to remove a basal cell carcinaoma

2:25 am

sprite

aw darling! Yeah, scary nuisance. Will think of you. It will be ok.

2:26 am

grannyrose

jilli, prayers on their way for tomorrow, i know it's only mi5 surgery, but scary nevertheless.

2:26 am

westford

2:26 am

jillibus

rubyfoo

2:31 am

grannyrose

2:31 am

sprite

missing one and out of ideas. 3 related.

2:31 am

sprite

2:32 am

grannyrose

2:36 am

rbud

2:37 am

rubyfoo

yes, I even have a new set and reg dictionary and mother's old scrabble dictionary

2:37 am

2:37 am

grannyrose

hmmmm, my absolute fantasy, sitting in france, playing scrabble with ruby, while our respective hubbies bond....well it could happen!!!!

2:37 am

sprite

that would be awesome, rose!

2:38 am

rubyfoo

oh, rose, what a lovely thought. I would rather send my husband to Australia; maybe he'd find a young sheila!!!! lol

2:38 am

grannyrose

rofl, ruby, now that would be interesting!!

2:42 am

sprite

we can play too, ruby, when I come. Rose, can't you plan your visit so we will be there together?

2:42 am

rubyfoo

unless we put 3 in a bed, that wouldn't work lol

2:43 am

grannyrose

oooh, a babble meet in france.....definitely in the picture now

2:43 am

sprite

aw come on, that would be simple... first one goes to sleep, once she sleeps, we put her up straight against the wall, next one goes to bed...

2:43 am

rubyfoo

but those husbands.....

2:43 am

grannyrose

and what's wrong with 3 in a bed.....? i'm too old for any hankie pankie

2:44 am

rubyfoo

2:44 am

sprite

2:44 am

rubyfoo

2:45 am

sprite

hmmmmpf. I'll let you know that on some days I know I will never be as old as I feel!

2:45 am

grannyrose

2:46 am

sprite

2:46 am

rubyfoo

they could both talk at the same time

2:46 am

grannyrose

oh, yeah...group hug always good

2:46 am

rubyfoo

we could put two soapboxes, side-by-side!

2:47 am

westford

ruby is going to lunch and a movie with her girlfriend..a well deserved day out

2:47 am

grannyrose

rofl, ruby, what a great idea, and give them a microphone each ( turned off, of course )

2:49 am

grannyrose

2:49 am

sprite

I am looking forward to meeting mr ruby as well, and I mean that.

2:53 am

grannyrose

2:53 am

sprite

absolutely! I'd love that.

2:54 am

rubyfoo

I'm back. Husband still isn't back from his errands and it's just too cold upstairs. At least the studio (and guestroom) has heat!

2:54 am

grannyrose

oh, for goodness sake, have put in every other ....tion word, except the na****.

2:54 am

sprite

wb ruby

2:55 am

rubyfoo

how many "tion" words are there|?

2:55 am

sprite

I want quotation. But that is a phantom.

2:56 am

rubyfoo

I only have 4

2:56 am

grannyrose

6 so far, ruby

2:56 am

rubyfoo

putting the monkeys to work

2:57 am

rubyfoo

aaah, found another

2:57 am

sprite

hm I have 5.

2:57 am

grannyrose

ae, en, lo, na, no, ra

2:58 am

sprite

hm, must find ae. Thank you.

2:59 am

rubyfoo

yay, ty for the ae; it gave me nbt, too

2:59 am

rubyfoo

and even nbs

2:59 am

grannyrose

yay, ruby

3:00 am

sprite

yay my first 8, thank you.

3:01 am

grannyrose

yay spritey

3:03 am

sprite

speaking of husbands, can you two experienced ladies explain to me how a man that can build cupboards and beds, cannot turn off a tap so it won't drip?

3:03 am

rubyfoo

Ruby is knocking on the inside door; Rufie on the outside door

3:03 am

rubyfoo

this place is a circus

3:04 am

sprite

lol ruby

3:06 am

rubyfoo

just put a pot under the drip; at least yoou won't waste the water

3:06 am

rubyfoo

otro

3:06 am

grannyrose

nope, spritey, when you find out, let me will you? mine still leaves the tap dripping, then complains about the water bill.

3:06 am

sprite

I mean the tap over the sink, the one from the shower and the one in the toilet... those for everyday use :)

3:07 am

sprite

lol exactly rose!

3:07 am

rubyfoo

water is so expensive here, that is my reason for putting a pot under the faucet

3:07 am

sprite

otro? You are trying otro and are not ashamed to show us? LOL

3:07 am

rubyfoo

(blushing)

3:07 am

grannyrose

hey, good idea, ruby, then when he kicks the bucket, it will remind him to turn the b......tap off.

3:08 am

sprite

*giggles* Just teasing. You should see the things I try here.

3:08 am

rubyfoo

how about artoo, did anybody else try it?

3:08 am

rubyfoo

or ne**o?

3:08 am

sprite

not my husband, rose. He would want to know what idiot had left a bucket there in such a crazy place :)

3:09 am

sprite

yep, ne**o for sure. Artoo only after you said so, and then I tried artoon too.

3:09 am

grannyrose

rofl, spritey....what can i say?

3:09 am

rubyfoo

drip, what drip?

3:10 am

grannyrose

then one who doesn't turn the tap off, ruby

3:10 am

sprite

I don't mind, but sometimes I wonder. Men and women are so different in many ways :)

3:10 am

rubyfoo

we notice everything; they only notice if their coffee isn't hot enough

3:10 am

grannyrose

add or to the ....tion list

3:11 am

sprite

ooo thanks rose!

3:11 am

rubyfoo

had that and without the o, too

3:11 am

rubyfoo

but why isn't "roos" accepted. We certainly have enough Australians to mount a petition

3:12 am

grannyrose

and if their bed isn't warm enough, and if there are no sox and jox in the drawer, and.....

3:12 am

sprite

we women notice details, to be precise. Our brain is wired for nearby stuff. Men notice the bigger plan. Their mind is wired for the plains.

3:13 am

sprite

especially since cooee and such are accepted. Even cooeed, which I think is taking it a bit far.

3:13 am

grannyrose

hey....spritey....i cooeed just the other day.

3:14 am

sprite

lol rose! I bet you use that in everyday convo ;)

3:14 am

grannyrose

might have been in my sleep, but i definitely cooeed

3:14 am

sprite

I'd have loved to see and hear that!

3:15 am

grannyrose

should have seen himself's face....

3:15 am

rubyfoo

There's a joke about that: A couple, married 60 years, is interviewed by the loca paper, asking how their marriage has lasted so long. The wife says that her husband handles all the important matters and she, the small ones. The reported asks her to explain: she handles where they live, where the children go to school, what kind of car to buy, where they take their holidays, and he decideds on how to fix the economy and where the next ward will be and how to solve the schisms in the Church

3:15 am

sprite

must have scared him quite a bit

3:15 am

grannyrose

i couldn't...it was dark, you see

3:16 am

sprite

hahahaha that is a fun one

3:16 am

grannyrose

lol, ruby, sounds about right

3:16 am

rubyfoo

sorry for the typos

3:17 am

sprite

if we can have admiration, why not miration?

3:17 am

grannyrose

as in miring our clothes/shoes....why not spritey...let's write to enable.

3:18 am

sprite

oh I know a joke like that too. There has been a tragic accident with busses full of sport supporters, so a whole bunch of guys arrive at Heaven's Gate.

3:19 am

sprite

Petrus sees them coming and thinks he needs to get some order there. So he tells them to form lines. "All men who were sat upon by their wives during their lives line up overthere!"

3:20 am

sprite

All men except one moves to where he points. A bit baffled Petrus walks up to the single man still standing in the original place. "So you were the boss in the house, I see?"
The man looks at Petrus and says: "I wouldn't know about all of that. My wife told me to go stand over here and so I did."

3:20 am

grannyrose

ROFL, SPRITEY

3:21 am

sprite

:D

3:25 am

grannyrose

* groan * still 16 to go...this is a hard slog

3:25 am

grannyrose

of course, the chog is soooo much more interesting than the grid...lol

3:25 am

sprite

I agree. I have 82 to go and it is not going fast at all.

3:26 am

lynxxx

hi Spritely. How is your son, did he get to live?

3:37 am

lynxxx

tong

3:37 am

lynxxx

oops sorry

3:38 am

sprite

he did. He managed to convince both my husband and me that he knew nothing about it. We told the neighbours about the smell and a day later it was gone. So I think it may have been something in their part of the shed.

3:39 am

lynxxx

wow....and I bet he won't bother trying it in the future - at least not at home! and what a relief for you

3:41 am

sprite

it really was. I was kind of panicked inside how to get him out of that swamp... am so glad it wasn't him.

3:42 am

acck

9:33 am

hurshy

it's not a misspelling. i mean, they didn't always have standardized spelling. but also, cl4 as appearing in the grid is a type of sail or something, i learned about it in my time working for a yacht management company.

9:33 am

viajes

I guess it has a different definition; the Babble dictionary doesn't even mention the old-fashioned synonym for hint

2:43 pm

lilliann

i know what you mean dose, she got picked on for a lot of years and sometimes hid under the table or back garden as she was frightened of going to school, so i went in and i went in and raised hell,(it also helped i was a school gevernor) but that is no excuse for children today getting picked on in a small school!

my body is covered with freckles, and she is getting more over her body so in the summer we looked more tanned...it's great!!

2:55 pm

amelu0218

I was lucky in that respect too... I've always had light "cute" freckles but when I hit 30, they decided they needed to join together so I'd look like I have a tan, LOL!

2:56 pm

lilliann

mine have always joined in since i was about 11, as i always had loads and my art teacher called me freckles every lesson

2:58 pm

lilliann

aww, my daughter just asked me if she was ugly, because she has a couple of spots on her face!!

2:58 pm

lilliann

but atleast you don't need as much sun amelu..lol

2:59 pm

amelu0218

True, but it's pretty difficult to avoid March through October, here... ~:o)

3:04 pm

lilliann

i wish i had your weather :)

3:05 pm

snowing here today..wet snow..ugh

3:05 pm

amelu0218

I love it! I'd much rather be too warm than cold...

3:06 pm

amelu0218

I do not miss the snow. Nope. Not even a little smidgen.

3:06 pm

crosshair

i would rather bee too cold,when youi are cold,you can add layers,when you are too hot,well once yer neeked,that is it

3:07 pm

... it was trying snow down here about 15 minutes ago ... but it looks like it had to give up ... at least it had better given up ... I must go out later ..

3:07 pm

amelu0218

I have gotten very good at not moving... LOL!

3:08 pm

amelu0218

Spent many an hour on the porch with a fan blowing my way...

3:09 pm

I'm with you Amelu, I can't stand the cold.

3:09 pm

crosshair

once it gets over,i would say 80f,i am cooked,drag me and my entire body heat rash into some water or shade

3:10 pm

amelu0218

Climatization... or is it acclimatization... either way, when I first moved here (from MI), I did not own (much less wear) a coat for 6 years.

3:11 pm

amelu0218

It would be extremely difficult for me to readjust to the cold.

3:12 pm

MollyL

"Coats not necessary"...that's my kind of weather.

3:12 pm

lilliann

i hate the cold...when i moved up north in england, i use to have to wear jumpers, have the heating on and the gas fire and have a blanket over me!! i prefer to be neked!! but only under my duvet where no-one can see me!! lol

3:12 pm

amelu0218

Of course, you'll catch me whining about record highs come July and August! Someone mark the date so you can remind me to come back to this chat and read my own words, LOL!

3:12 pm

crosshair

i am sure you are correct amelu,my in-laws were snow birds for many year and one winter they had to come home for something medical(forget doing that in the states as it would of cost 30 grand) but anyways they has the house here at 90f and the furnace was roaring..i had to sit there in swim trunks..in january

3:13 pm

doseffing

... I never complain in the summer no matter how hot ... ... that way I can whine and complain all winter and no one can tell me to stop

3:15 pm

amelu0218

I know what you mean crossy. My mom lives here and if it's below 65 degrees outside, she's freezing and wants the heat on... even wears a sweater in mid summer... meanwhile, I'm about to pass out...

3:16 pm

crosshair

lol

3:16 pm

lilliann

i love it when we go on holiday to egypt or especially jamaica at christmas and we can say how hot it is to friends and family on the phone when we text or ring..the only problem is, we have to go back to the cold two weeks later!!

3:18 pm

3:54 pm

lilliann

anything nice bichon?

3:54 pm

Glantarell

at least I didn;t electrocute myslef, do irretrievable damage to the walls or lights, or blow a fuse!

3:55 pm

lilliann

lol glant...well, that is a start!!lol

3:55 pm

crosshair

lillian the damned chemo juice did the exact same to me.was in the kitchen other day trying to ask the mrs for the collander to drain the pasta.think i could remember the name of the damned thing?.."the drain thing,thing with the holes" sputter on like that till the wife either deciphers what i need or the word comes..been that way on and off for 5 years now

3:55 pm

Glantarell

and they do work LOL and are on the wall straight

3:55 pm

bichon

no, just lay down in bed with the fluffs and watched something immemorable on TV

3:55 pm

Glantarell

know that feeling crossy

3:56 pm

lilliann

but it's also proved that you can do it, so don't be so down on yourself...a little at a time...

3:56 pm

Glantarell

it's the damage to the neural pathways in the brain

3:57 pm

Glantarell

I know I can do it Liliann, just a bbit resentful that I have to Liliann :-)

3:57 pm

bichon

It's a small price to pay for health and being cancer free

3:58 pm

Glantarell

It certainly is Bichon, but I do miss the ability to concentrate and the occasional loss of ability to speak fluently!

4:01 pm

bichon

I can understand how that must trouble you, but you get to see your grandchild. My mother had a radical [and I mean radical] mastectomy in 1959. She has terrible lymphodema, but she's lived to see three great-grandchildren

4:02 pm

crosshair

it is indeed bichon

4:02 pm

crosshair

i stutter over words and objects,but it is sporatic and has not affected my reading one iota

4:02 pm

Glantarell

I'm grateful that I don't have the lymphodaema, and very grateful to see my grandchildren. At this rate I'm hoping to see the great grandchildren too, as long as thye don;t come too soon LOL

4:03 pm

crosshair

and am glad you are healthy now glant

4:03 pm

lilliann

i haven't had cancer or the treatment you've had crossy, and i know you've got through it a few times as you are a figher and a good caring man and i hope you're memory improves

4:03 pm

Glantarell

hasn't affected my reading at all either crossy - it must be to do woith the speech centre

4:03 pm

crosshair

must indeed,small mercies

4:03 pm

bichon

The radical mastectomy they did back then removed the lymph nodes.

4:04 pm

Glantarell

I'm glad we're both healthy cossy ;-)

4:04 pm

bichon

They had no chemo, only radiation

4:04 pm

Glantarell

My mastectomy was radical too Bochon - they took 22 lymph nodes out

4:04 pm

crosshair

indeed glant,we have shiny fresh new lives

4:04 pm

Glantarell

and i had chemo and radiation

4:04 pm

crosshair

i had operations and chemo...no radiation

4:04 pm

bichon

Did they leave some nodes in?

4:04 pm

Glantarell

I've never bothered with the reconstruction - call me Amazon woman LOL

4:05 pm

crosshair

my-m-i-l also did not reconstruct

4:05 pm

bichon

They can do so much more now for lymphadema. My mother didn't have any treatment and it is way too late.

4:05 pm

Glantarell

No nodes left in as far as they know - there were cancer cells in 7 of the 22 - that was when they told me it was 'out there' - had left the breast

4:05 pm

bichon

I don't think I would either

4:05 pm

lilliann

i'm glad you have got through it too glant, my cousin/sister to me had the same cancer has you at a young age and has come through

4:06 pm

lilliann

sorry to hear abnout your mam bichon

4:06 pm

crosshair

how long ago was this glant? got your 5 years in yet?

4:06 pm

Glantarell

some breast cancers are much more aggressive than others - i was 'lucky' as the hormone fed ones respond better to treatments

4:07 pm

bichon

My Mom is 88, has lung cancer and while she has dementia to some degree, her ticker is still ticking

4:07 pm

Glantarell

yes crossy, finished treatments in Feb 2006 - so 6 years now

4:07 pm

lilliann

my cousin had a reconstruction of her breat but no nipple and had to have ovaries removed so she couldn't get it back

4:07 pm

crosshair

yaaa for glant!!

4:08 pm

woot for Glant

4:08 pm

Glantarell

yeaaa for me! and you! and Bichon's mum

4:08 pm

crosshair

the survivors club

4:08 pm

Glantarell

and Liliann's cousin/sister

4:09 pm

bichon

lilian, did she have testing for the BRCA mutation. Several people on my Dad's side have the mutation and had their ovaries removed

4:13 pm

lilliann

i don't know if we have that here bichon.all i know is she is clear now about 7/8 years but majority of our family have all died of cancer/all different types. her mam had.....i'll have to think...can't remember, she has to take penicillin every day for the rest of her life(her mam that is)

4:14 pm

lilliann

my best friend's nan and mam had breast cancer but her g.p wouldn't send her for testing

4:15 pm

lilliann

but i don't know if that is BRCA? what does that mean?

4:15 pm

bichon

t's done in the US [ne lab in the entire country does it] for women [and men] who have strong family histories of breast and or ovarian cancer. Although non Ashkenazi [European] Jews can have the mutation, it is more common among European Jews

4:15 pm

Glantarell

BRCA is a gene

4:16 pm

bichon

My mother had breast cancer twice[the first when she was 35] but neither she nor I have the mutation. But, lots of people on my paternal side have it

4:16 pm

Glantarell

if you test positive for it in the UK you can have an elective double mastectomy to prevent future breast cancer

4:16 pm

lilliann

oh really bichon, that is interesting

4:17 pm

Glantarell

if you have BRCA your chances of getting breast cancer are pehaps as high as 50%

4:17 pm

lilliann

so i take it you are you are jewish ?

4:18 pm

lilliann

i hjave nothing againt jewish people by the way :)

4:19 pm

lilliann

*have

4:19 pm

bichon

Yes, Ashkenazic

4:21 pm

bekki

I have had breast cancer twice, the second time I chose to have a double mastectomy. I told my Dr I did not want to try for the third time

4:22 pm

lilliann

so, what does the ashkenazic mean,were they jewish people that came to europe after the war...sorry, if i'm being rude, but i'd like to know why they are called that

4:22 pm

Glantarell

sorry to hear that bekki - I have asked them to remove my other breast but here in the Uk they don;t do prophylactic surgery

4:22 pm

lilliann

my friend wasn't allowed to test for it glant

4:23 pm

Glantarell

to test for BRCA?

4:23 pm

lilliann

sorry to hear about that bekki

4:23 pm

Glantarell

they will only test you for it if at least one close female relative has had BRCA variation breast cancer

4:23 pm

lilliann

yes

4:24 pm

Glantarell

because they know it runs in families

4:24 pm

lilliann

her nan and mam had breast cancer and one breast removed

4:25 pm

Glantarell

but if it wasn't BRCA variety then it's almost impossible for your frind tp have thta type

4:25 pm

lilliann

her nan finally died of breast cancer

4:26 pm

lilliann

so if breast cancer runs in the family through 2 very close female family member thay can't get tested?

4:27 pm

bekki

Glantarell I'm sorry to hear you had cancer, I feel Drs need to listen to what we say. I am very happy with the choice I made

4:27 pm

Glantarell

there are several kind of breast cancer - perhaps 7 or 8 - but BRCA is one they know is very aggressive and runs in families so they wioll test for it if it is known you have a relative with that fom

4:28 pm

Glantarell

Your fiends family could have been very unli=ucky and had several different jkinds

4:28 pm

lilliann

the problem is, her gp never had her tested for it

4:28 pm

Glantarell

my friedn had breast cancer twice in 3 years - two completely different types with different treatments

4:28 pm

bekki

my grand daughter

4:29 pm

lilliann

omg, sorry to hear that glant

4:29 pm

bekki

sorry my grand daughter tells me don't worry they will grow :-)

4:29 pm

Glantarell

she was one of the ones they founght for the special drg a few years ago - was it heparin?

4:30 pm

Glantarell

ROFL bekki - mine have never known me differently - they know it was 'cut off because it had gone bad'

4:30 pm

lilliann

i'm just thick...i didn't think there was that many different cancers that you could get in a breat...i just thought...a lump...breast cancer!! so i apologise to all

4:30 pm

lilliann

lol bekki

4:31 pm

Glantarell

they've all had a good look and feel of the prosthetic breast and one of the little beggars bit it and punctured it LOL

4:31 pm

Glantarell

not thick Liliann - I assumed breast cancer was BC was BC until i got it

4:31 pm

lilliann

omg...lol glant

4:32 pm

Glantarell

Mine ws strongly oestrogen and progesterone positive - which means it was feeding on thse hormones in my body so part of the treatment for me is to kill the hprmones so there is no food for the cancer

4:32 pm

Glantarell

but if the BC is not hormonally fed then doing that would nmake no difference, and the cancer is much harder to teat

4:33 pm

Glantarell

I had a bit of sticky tape oer the hole for about a year before I plucked up the courage to ask for a new one LOL

4:33 pm

lilliann

when my cousin got it at 32 i thought it was just breast cancer, but no-one should ever just say just!! but she does have a healthy 12 year old before she got it but sadly lost a baby before she knew she had it, but that was probably her body telling her she had too much to cope with

4:34 pm

Glantarell

32 is so dreadfully young - I thought I was pretty hard done by getting it at 49

4:34 pm

lilliann

you had the same as my cousin. she had to have her ovaries removed

4:35 pm

Glantarell

they suggested they might have to 'ablate' my oivaries after my secnd chemo because I continued to menstuate, which wasn't suppsed to happen but it stopped after the third chemo so they left my ovaries alone

4:36 pm

sleep tight - that phrase comes from medieval times when the mattresswas supported my crossed ropes tied to the bedframe - if the ropes were slack the bed was uncomfortabel, so a sevant had to tighten the ropes each night to ensure the bed was 'tight' and therefore comfortable
