Uneaixoise

12:51 am

westford

12:51 am

cybernan

12:53 am

Uneaixoise

west, i don't think i knew what was happening either . . . ugh

12:53 am

jillibus

I think so, nan -- but nowadays the zonking out is so easy

12:53 am

westford

hurshy had hers out recently and was in such pain

12:54 am

grannyrose

lol, when i last went to my ENT guy re sleep apnoea, he had a look and said, i see you still have your tonsils. but i had them out when i was six i said. well they've grown back he said. explains why all these ye4s i thought i had tonsillitis when i had a sore throat, and the thought, no way!

12:54 am

cybernan

125 down and that icecream is making me hungry -- off for a snack and my bed -- see you tomorrow :)

12:54 am

12:56 am

westford

rose are you going to have them out at some point?

12:56 am

jillibus

The docs lied to me. I had already had 5 mastoid surgeries and knew I hated ether, so they told me it would be 4711, that cologne. But it wasn't, and for ages afterwards I couldn't stand the scent of 4711 either.

12:57 am

1:18 am

1:21 am

Bugsaw

it is a dilemma granny. he lost 70 pounds and looks skeletal but in order to get a liver he must become sicker. We wud like to fatten him up and help him feel better but then he will have to wait longer. The whole situation is hard.

1:22 am

flosey

2:55 am

westford

2:56 am

I was in the hospital when they walked on the moon

3:04 am

and did you give her a celestial name?

3:04 am

westford

no a very Irish one..Erin

3:04 am

westford

hiya lyn

3:05 am

westford

made my doc promise I could stay up and watch..was about 2 a.m. our time

3:06 am

westford

I should have named her Moon Beam..it would have fit

3:06 am

lynxxx

Time flies doesn't it. The only way I can 'date' things in the past is by my kids birth or age

3:07 am

grannyrose

hey lyn

3:07 am

westford

so true

3:07 am

lynxxx

hi Rose. Friends with your bike yet?

3:09 am

grannyrose

yes, hun. am doing a full cycle. and Don is so gracious as to say, that i set quite a good pace.

3:10 am

lynxxx

Hooray - your doctor and physio will be very happy with you (and themselves) I bet

3:10 am

grannyrose

i also walked 2 house frontages this AM. and back, without any help from himself

3:10 am

grannyrose

that's 3 times on the bike today

3:13 am

lynxxx

Good going! I remember very well after one op - not realising how weak I was - and what a huge/huge effort it was to walk a few houses. Those ops certainly knock you around - let alone having new body parts!

3:13 am

lynxxx

maybe you should be BionicRose

3:14 am

grannyrose

thanx lyn. every bit of encouragement is so very gratefully received

3:16 am

lynxxx

how cute oy6.24 & na5.12 in one grid

3:17 am

grannyrose

and re your last post? i probably will be. i still need both hips and the other knee done. but this morning's walk showed me just how much pain in the hips was brought on by trying to walk on this wretched knee

3:18 am

grannyrose

sort of ironic, don't you think? those 2 words in the same grid?

3:18 am

lynxxx

Are they as urgent?

3:19 am

grannyrose

no, lyn. not giving me as much grief.

3:20 am

lynxxx

has any of this cost you anything? or does Medicare cover all

3:22 am

grannyrose

all covered by my private health insurance. except the physio, as i didn't go with the hospital rehab.( the actual prosthesis cost $35,000. but i was a guinea-pig for stryker who are breaking into the market with this technology.

3:24 am

grannyrose

so our federal government can be thanked for something. we only took out private health insurance to avoid the medicare levy.

3:24 am

lynxxx

yowch - hooray for nice specialists though. Obviously you being in the field has some excellent side benefits!

3:31 am

lynxxx

BBL husband has bought home a cold for me and I need to attend to it

3:31 am

1:25 pm

I LOVE me some good thunderstorms. miss the ones in Ohio, which were a lot more Biblical in scale than the ones we get here

1:26 pm

it's the best. I once was in France in a vale between mountains and the thunderstorms kept coming back and meeting over our head. It was massive :)

yes, if he is the highest point in the area, that is a definite risk.

1:31 pm

I am going to take a nap in a bit, assuming the storm isn't too loud. a good afternoon/evening ahead: dinner with Primo and my mom, and then after dinner drinks with my man.....

these thunderstorms are so slow! I can hear them rumbling in the distance, and it has gotten darkish out, but so far....nothing real here

1:50 pm

sprite

I always must think of him when I see Stripes and this drill sergeant goes, to a pretty antisocial guy: "Better behave, some day one of them will save your life." And someone else answers: "Then again, some day one of us won't."

1:50 pm

crosshair

hehe

1:51 pm

sprite

not his saying but definitely his style

1:51 pm

crosshair

stripes,with bill murray?

1:51 pm

sprite

yes :)

1:51 pm

Trifioso

just noticed the tr 6 21 can all be typed with one hand

1:51 pm

crosshair

have not seen it in many years,but love it when they nail the parade at the end

1:52 pm

crosshair

did not notice trif,i type everything with two fingers:))

1:52 pm

sprite

how did the chicken cross the road? It looked to the right and the left... SIR!

1:52 pm

sprite

lolll Trif... is this where we better not ask what the other hand is doing?

1:52 pm

crosshair

i can type clean type with two fingers at 65 wpm:))

1:53 pm

Trifioso

yay for crossy!

1:53 pm

crosshair

not sure if that is a proud moment or not..

1:53 pm

Trifioso

sprite, have you been reading "50 shades" again?

1:53 pm

crosshair

behave ladies...

1:53 pm

crosshair

do not make me get my ping pong paddle with the speed holes drilled in it...

1:53 pm

sprite

hahahaha! No, once was enough... but hey, what can I say... my mind needs no literary help...

1:53 pm

Trifioso

don't "ladies" me! I am being very well behaved! Sprite is the naughty one today!

1:54 pm

Trifioso

apparently not, you randy randy girl!

1:54 pm

sprite

big surface... short handle... nah crossy, can never be bad ;)

1:55 pm

sprite

look, I read I was doing it right on FB, so it must be true. My love and I keep our fights clean and our sex dirty :)

1:55 pm

Trifioso

whoa, storms is hitting now....better power down the PC.....cheers all!

1:55 pm

sprite

bye Triffles! have a good one.

1:55 pm

crosshair

tc trif..

1:55 pm

crosshair

put the whip with the metal ends away when reading!!

1:55 pm

Trifioso

bye all!

1:56 pm

sprite

lol crossy!

1:57 pm

crosshair

lol,us guys love it,seeing as it was a woman who wrote that shallow mound of bdsm,we are in the clear and can talk about the book all we want:)

1:58 pm

crosshair

it is like trying to find a deep story in a porno movie:)

1:58 pm

sprite

hehehe :D

2:00 pm

crosshair

love to see who shows up at a author book signing,ratio of guys to girls

2:00 pm

sprite

well the book might help open some conversations between a couple.

2:01 pm

crosshair

lol,i am sure it will

2:04 pm

crosshair

think i have all of fifty shades trilogy in epub,have not read them all but some babble ladies ask me for copies...

2:05 pm

sprite

yeah I have them in epub as well. Have read them too. Easy read.

2:06 pm

crosshair

that series and the twilight series could of been written on the same day

2:06 pm

sprite

I haven't read anything of the twilight series.

2:07 pm

crosshair

nor i,the wife says book one was ok as long as you do not mind a female main character with all the depth of a hubcap with water in it.she says the others were just tacked on money grabs

2:08 pm

sprite

ah, see, i knew there was a reason I didn't read them :)

2:08 pm

crosshair

i do have them when you have a spare hour and a half to read all 3 lol

2:09 pm

sprite

roflol... nah, thanks. I have better stuff waiting for me!

2:09 pm

crosshair

i personally imagine the female lead is like that so any drama ridden angst filled female teen can just pour herself into the roll

2:10 pm

sprite

in that case it is smartly done. That will sell.

2:10 pm

crosshair

it is target specific

2:11 pm

crosshair

hoiw goes the majipoor series?

2:11 pm

crosshair

enjoying it?

2:11 pm

sprite

at a standstill... got sidetracked by Faye Kellerman and her Jewish detective couple.

2:12 pm

sprite

yes, I am enjoying Majipoor very much. Will get back to it soon.

2:12 pm

crosshair

lol,i try not to read two diff novels at once

2:13 pm

sprite

oh I am bad that way. I tend to read different stuff before sleeping than I do in the day. When I read Majipoor in bed, I won't go to sleep until the book is done... not a wise move.

2:13 pm

crosshair

though the readers are perfect for that and my mrs will often have two on the go

2:13 pm

sprite

tomorrow I must take my love to the hospital, he is being operated on his knee.

2:14 pm

crosshair

not a wise move with that series

2:14 pm

sprite

hehehe your Elegance and I have that in common

2:14 pm

crosshair

what is he getting done?

2:15 pm

crosshair

sadly her vision is not good of late but my elegant asks me about the chog and the goings on in babble

2:15 pm

sprite

they don't know yet. They go in and have a look, check out the meniscus (sp?), clean up the infectioned area of the bursitus.

2:15 pm

sprite

bursitis, I think... darn, medical spelling!

2:15 pm

crosshair

i am a new bursitis sufferer;(

2:15 pm

crosshair

just in last 8 months

2:15 pm

sprite

am so sorry her vision is not good. She is a brave lady.

2:16 pm

sprite

my love has it in his knee. I have it in my shoulders.

2:16 pm

crosshair

mine is also in my kness,hot spots where the knee bends and pain in the lower arc under the knee cap

2:17 pm

crosshair

some deterioration but not serious yet

2:17 pm

crosshair

your shoulders? ouch.poor sprite:(

2:17 pm

sprite

but I hope things will be not too bad, when they check his knee, and it will only be the bursitis cleaning. If they take out the meniscus, he will be some time before walking properly again.

2:18 pm

sprite

ouch crossy :( That is very painful, I know!

2:18 pm

crosshair

ugh..you are telling me my future...

2:19 pm

sprite

*sends healing vibes to crossy's knees pronto*

2:20 pm

crosshair

i am paying the price of walking and running for 30 years on concrete and asphalt

2:20 pm

sprite

oh yes, slow but certain erosion :(

2:21 pm

crosshair

in poor footwear for most of it

2:21 pm

crosshair

guess next for me is cortisone shots

2:21 pm

sprite

gentle movements without weight on your knees, crossy... keep the juices flowing... lube those knees...

2:21 pm

crosshair

idr gave me the exercises,but i already walk lots

2:22 pm

crosshair

dr

2:22 pm

sprite

yeah but walking is taxing at the same time. Just remember to do gentle, easy movements without weight every once in a while too.

2:23 pm

crosshair

will do:)

2:24 pm

sprite

:)

2:24 pm

sprite

it's how I steer clear from operations still. When I forget, it gets really bad, then I remember and do them again and the shoulders start getting better.

2:26 pm

sprite

fireflies! Tight little grid.

2:27 pm

crosshair

i do the same with my 3 heariated neck disks.lots of gentle streching and massage etc

2:27 pm

crosshair

yaa fpr sprite!!

2:28 pm

sprite

very good. It is something I really had to learn... that small and gentle may work better than more rigourous treatments.

2:28 pm

crosshair

dr already warned me,not to let them cut open my neck unless i was on all fours crawling on the ground to get around first

2:29 pm

sprite

oh absolutely. Way too risky, your neck.

2:30 pm

sprite

dear crossy, I must love and leave you, time for me to go to bed. *hugs* for you and your sweet lady.

2:30 pm

crosshair

my friend had the same thing,in the neck but 4 disks i think,he went in and came out using canes with one foot turned to the right

2:30 pm

crosshair

tc ((sprite))

2:30 pm

crosshair

and sleep tight

2:30 pm

sprite

not worth it, I think. *hugs*!

Your Mars hole is very interesting - maybe it is a Martian yurt

uusue2

I want to go check it out!

6:03 pm

lynxxx

You aren't one of those who have booked a ticket are you

6:07 pm

I am not. My dad signed up to go to the moon back in the 1930s, though.

6:09 pm

and is that where your passion came from? He say men walk on the moon I hope

6:09 pm

lynxxx

say =saw

6:10 pm

uusue2

He did indeed and is still fascinated by astronomy (he is 91). I wanted to be an astronaut when I was 5 (which is before Sputnik was even launched). Probably I get some of that from him.

6:11 pm

lynxxx

He must be very proud of you

7:59 pm

Hi Molly and lurkers, I am back.

8:01 pm

MollyL

Oh hi Wht. Just watching the paint dry in here. I trust you had a blast in Aruba.

8:02 pm

wht

Had a great time. And it is so humid the paint just never dries.

8:03 pm

wht

Got back and had the same 90 degree weather, but without the trade wind and the ocean right there.

8:04 pm

MollyL

Yes, but when you have a beautiful sea to frolic in, the humidity isn't such a bother.

8:05 pm

wht

Exactly. And when the bar is on the beach, nothing is a bother.

8:10 pm

MollyL

Drinks on the beach is Nirvana.

8:12 pm

And it was an all-inclusive so we didn't even have to bring money to the beach.

Well, I'm going to leave this place to the lurkers. And those who will only chat with "certain" posters. Have a good night, Wht.

8:27 pm

wht

Good night Molls. I am gone as well.

8:51 pm

rururocks

you mean certain people won't chat with certain people? here in Babble? unheard of

8:54 pm

those who choose not to chat are not 'lurkers.' i frequently have nothing to share, and I'm definitely not lurking.

hi stid.

8:56 pm

rururocks

I think that / that is not what molly was driving at Mab

8:57 pm

stidmama

should I start this grid?

8:57 pm

rururocks

I don't know stid.. it doesn't seem too bad

8:57 pm

mab

i don't understand then.

8:58 pm

firefly779

Hi stid!

8:58 pm

rururocks

I think she is talking about cliques of some kind

8:58 pm

mab

if it's to do with some people not especially liking some others, well, i don't find that surprising.

8:58 pm

stidmama

firefly! was thinking about you the other day! how are you? how are the kids?

8:59 pm

stidmama

I'll start then... thanks.

8:59 pm

mab

cliques! I don't even want to know.

8:59 pm

blueheron

exactly..... I understand how she feels.

8:59 pm

firefly779

I am resting off a headache, but mostly well lately. Kids are enjoying the summer storms and all.

9:00 pm

mab

i gave that up upon graduating from high school.

9:00 pm

rururocks

anyone have a ce 6/21?

9:01 pm

uusue2

Hi again all, big storms moving through

9:01 pm

mab

i haven't any ce words....

9:01 pm

stidmama

Grant loves the summer storms, I am not so fond of them. We drove to St. Helens today and the clouds absolutely wouldn't let us see the summit. But we had a good time anyway.

9:02 pm

stidmama

mab: units of a dollar...

9:02 pm

mab

oh that sounds nice stid.

9:02 pm

firefly779

I want to see Helen's again, and show the kids. I went once in high school. Sorry you missed the summit today!

9:02 pm

mab

i enjoy storms, if no one is injured and the electricity stays on.

9:03 pm

stidmama

I would like some extended sunshine again. My own energy is flagging considerably without the light.

9:03 pm

stidmama

We'll go again, but maybe wait until we aren't having such unsettled weather.

9:03 pm

uusue2

I enjoy them too but am a bit worried about the power with this one

9:04 pm

stidmama

I agree mab -- the lovely autumn storms that chase us inside but don't cause any real harm are my favorites.

9:04 pm

uusue2

We really need the rain, though

9:04 pm

firefly779

Unsue: I see on the news it's stormy on that side of the states! We've had quite a few over here this year too. I like them!

9:04 pm

stidmama

I found ce 6/21... unit of dollar + Egyptian sun god

9:05 pm

stidmama

I hope you get rain -- and that the land can absorb what you get so it doesn't make floods.

9:05 pm

firefly779

*uusue, darn autocorrect

9:05 pm

mab

thanks.

9:05 pm

rururocks
