2:11 am
rururocks

what is angina actually rose
2:13 am
grannyrose

gosh i love you all, was really scary. ruru, angina is when the coronary arteries start to spasm or are partially blocked, and the heart tissue isn't getting enough oxygen.
2:15 am
rururocks

oh wow.. awful
2:15 am
grannyrose

if the medication to stop the spasms, or the actual arteries are not helped by stents to remain patent, death of cardiac tissue follows.
2:16 am
Lizlin

And what are your docs saying?
2:16 am
grannyrose

yeah, mate. consider...my mother has 'silent' heart attacks...she feels no pain, just feels unwell.
2:18 am
flosey

so a person wouldn't have any idea, other than simply not feeling well?
2:18 am
grannyrose

liz, don't need stents, and since it is now 16 months since i smoked a ciggie, and i have lost 35.5kgs, and am maintaining a fat-free diet as best i can, cardiologist is quite optimistic.
2:19 am
Lizlin

That's good. Personal question - don't have to answer. Can you afford to cut down on work to ease stress?
2:20 am
Lizlin

Hey! You could play the stress card to persuade Don to do your kitchen!!!
2:21 am
grannyrose

not yet, sweetie. in the new year, don and i are going to centre link. apparently they have a free financial information service. i have a 'loan' on the house in tecoma where son and his wife live. he is now qualified, and she has found another job. they should be able to afford to pay rent.

2:28 am

I agree with flosey. Much too stressful
2:30 am

yeah, besides if don's eldest comes over to spend the day with us, he doesn't like to go there either. so...too bad, so sad. i will have to stay home with him, while don goes over there.* shrug *

Christmas Joke NO.754: An elderly gentleman phones his son and says, "Son, me and your ma are getting a divorce. After 50 years of looking at the cow, I've had enough." The son is very taken abackl and asks what on earth is going on, to which the father replies that its true, he's had enough, and its all over. Obviously, the son is rather upset, so he phones his sister and tells her the news. She gets straight on the phone to the father who confirms the story: "yup, its right. I've had enough of the cow, and we're getting divorced." The daughter says "Right, don't be stupid. Don't do anything. Don't see a lawyer, don't file any papers, we're coming to sort this out." The old man puts down the phone, turns to his wife and says "Right, thats sorted. They're both coming home for Christmas, AND they're paying their own air fare."

unfortunately a really small group - and not big-noting myself but I think if I opted out it would probably fold. (so would be nice to actually achieve something positive for the local area before I give it up. We are getting very well known and lots of publicity but....

i have been busy which makes me wonder how much time was lost while i had carbon monoxide poisoning. . . i am getting a good bit do** these days
10:03 am
sprite

oh, no we won't. Just the necessary things. And, I hope, a little bit extra for Christmas and for savings :)
10:03 am

glad to hear about the savings part. . .so many people forget that part especially when the are living on little
10:03 am
sprite

oh my, jmc... that is awful. Are you totally better now?
10:04 am
sprite

yes, saving is very important. I had to learn that myself, as well.
10:04 am
jmcnrick

i have always had an automatic $10 per month taken out of my account even when i was broke because you rarely miss $10 and it is there when you have a sudden emergency
10:05 am
sprite

so very true.
10:05 am
jmcnrick

yes. . .my cat sarted acting weird and that made me start to look around and realize there might be a problem with my gas furnace . . . the heating guy came and turned it off immediately saying that i had the most dangerous situation he had ever seen in 40 years
10:06 am
jmcnrick

so he fixed it and my cat is getting progressively less weird. . .i think she is just afraid now rather than harmed. . .and one good thing came out of it. . .
10:06 am
sprite

jmc, that is scary! Am happy the cat warned you early... is the cat ok too?
10:07 am
jmcnrick

she now uses a litter box for the first time in 15 years haliluya!

it is so dangerous and so very fast, carbon mono poisoning.

10:09 am
jmcnrick

well that is the odd thing is that i probably had a low level poisoning for winter last year and the first of this year. . .but when it got bad enough for my cat to notice was when i figured it out
10:09 am

*hugs jmc*
You are young, incredibly useful and, more importantly, much much loved. Glad you are safe now.

10:10 am

am really happy to hear that!
10:12 am

z anybody?
10:12 am

having a tree is very common here, stockings are less so. Ornaments, lights especially, indoors and outdoors. Some people celebrate with presents, others have the presents with Sinterklaas. Dinner with family and/or friends is also very common.

you don't have Sinterklaas, jmc. That is the perfect moment for gifting. It is more a fun celebration. For me, Christmas is quieter, more inward-looking.

10:19 am
sprite

it is celebrated either with little children, and lots of (small) gifts, or with teens and adults (who don't believe in Sinterklaas anymore) and then the fun is in making silly poems and 'surprises' which means a fun package. Like building a TV from boxes and carton and hiding a remote inside. Etc etc.
10:19 am
jmcnrick

i like your version better i think. . . but when i was a kid i was very excited about Mother and Daddy leaving the front door unlocked for Santa

yeah we have that excitement with Sinterklaas, indeed. Zwarte Piet, Sint's helper, throws sweets inside the houses and leaves a bag with presents.

my biggest problem with christmas is the my sister's birthday is on winter soltice so i have to be doublely creative. . .

that is a beautiful gift!
10:23 am

i useally find her birthday present in the summer so it has nothing to do with christmas. . . but this year i gots nothing
10:23 am

so you are looking for an idea?
10:23 am
jmcnrick

i will give some of the other squares to my two other sisters and niece and nephews and the boy
10:24 am
jmcnrick

haha always sprite i only have until saturday (we are celebrating a day late so her daughter can be there)
10:24 am

sounds wonderful. I would love a gift like that myself, so I think they will be very happy with it.
10:25 am
sprite

ok, tell me what does she like and how is your relation?
10:25 am
jmcnrick

i mean to write a note about the squares for them to put on the back of the frame so my grandmother will get her credit. . . i suspect she made it for my mother's wedding
10:25 am

a great family story included... lovely gifts!
10:26 am

*waves* back to jmc
10:28 am
sprite

how about an ornate box or little chest or case, filled with small packages containing a book voucher, a small dinner voucher, a card with a kiss on it, a voucher for a big hug, etc?
10:28 am
jmcnrick

Many years ago a very shy young man, too shy to share what was in his heart, gave a beautiful woman named Guinevere three red roses to propose to her. All during their lives together, whenever he wanted to express his joy or his contrition, he gave Guinevere three red roses. A few weeks after his death at a ripe old age, she came to the Friends Meeting of Washington, to Rick and my wedding. She took us aside and told us her story and gave us a beautiful vase and three red roses.
All during our married life, when some amazing or something terrible would happen, we would give each other three red roses. Sometimes Rick would bring me roses home when we were the most mad at each other! Neither one of us was shy, but the roses became a statement of our enduring—even during the hard times—love.

I give to you the roses and the story.

As Rick would say -- I hope your marriage is at least half as good as ours because then it will be very good indeed.

Love and best wishes,
10:29 am

lovely story, jmc
10:29 am

awwwww... jmc, that really touches my heart.
10:30 am
jmcnrick

an ornate box sounds like a great idea! I think not the kiss and hug. . . she is more huggy than i am but as you know that is not saying much
10:30 am
jmcnrick

ty peri it still brings tears to my eyes . . .
10:30 am
sprite

well... that would make such a voucher a special treat indeed... to be used when she is in need of one :)
10:31 am
jmcnrick

haha i will consider the voucher. . . maybe at least one for the next book i read that i think she would like
10:31 am
sprite

anyway, lots of good things to put in an ornate box. And they don't have to be expensive, often the small things work wonders.
10:32 am
sprite

or a voucher to get together and have a lovely drink on a terrace some day?
10:32 am

the way you make sandcaste candles is you put wet sand in a box and then put the form in the wet sand (i usasually used a bowl) and then you remove the form and fpour in the wax. . . usually about a third of the mold at a time with different colors let it set then the next third and the other colors oftern drip down the sides. . .it make a beautiful candle. . .

Sounds good Ruby. My clan doesn't like ricotta so I don't put it in my lasagna.

11:57 am
rubyfoo

do you add sausage, mael?
11:57 am
MollyL

I use two, mozzerlla and Parmesan. And lots of Italian sausage.
11:57 am
mael

no, I make meat sauce. Beef and pork, usually
11:58 am
mael

and pancetta if I have any
11:58 am
rubyfoo

the sausage makes the difference but you can't get it here. When DIL brings it, she buys huge amounts, freezes them and has a special carryon case
11:59 am

they probably have pancetta here, but I'm not sure what it is
11:59 am

I sautee it with my onions. celery, and carrot dice to start the sauce

I have some friends who also are a bit freaked by it all - even though they claim they're not! Hard to believe that some people have evacuated their homes or even contemplated worse because of this!

Eh. Just called the gas company because of a slight smell of gas, and it's almost midnight. So now I'm stuck waiting up for their technician. I know it's nothing, and I should have waited till morning. This has happened before. UGH.
10:49 pm
stidmama

oh gee. What do you think it is, if it happened before? a breeze down the ventilation?
10:50 pm
nrkii

not sure, but whenever it happens it seems to go away quickly
10:50 pm
stidmama

do you have a CO detector? or two? One for each floor...
10:50 pm
nrkii

I'm traveling for the holidays tomorrow, and I didn't want to leave it unchecked. Especialy because I'm in a duplex.
10:51 pm
stidmama

good idea
10:51 pm
nrkii

I have 2, but CO detectors don't detect gas. Or at least not always.
10:51 pm
stidmama

that's true.
10:52 pm
stidmama

My grandmother's home in L.A. always smelled of the methane, just slightly. Old home, pilot lights and such. Ours smells a bit occasionally of propane, but our appliances all have electric ignition so no pilot lights to release gas.
10:53 pm
nrkii

my stove is 100 years old, so I have to light it... but the smell was not coming from the kitchen. It was in the living room, which is above the furnace and hot water heater.
10:53 pm
stidmama

usually it's because someone leaned briefly against the stove and moved one of the dials a little.
10:54 pm
stidmama

always best to check it out if it's noticeable.
10:54 pm
stidmama

Loved the funny holiday card you posted on fb with the zombie dolls
