naaaw, talent! You in a better mood tonight?
12:39 am

I had a crab and avocado salad tonight and now I'm hungry again Dammit
12:39 am
rururocks

I am in a better mood. yesterday was tough
12:39 am
VolleymomDee

oh, that sounds sooo good!
12:39 am
VolleymomDee

What happened yesterday?
12:40 am
rururocks

oh.. we're putting the house on the market now and I don't like some of the decisions that are being made
12:40 am
rururocks

and I found out my Brother (recovering alcoholic) is drinking again
12:41 am
rururocks

there's more but I won't go on
12:41 am
VolleymomDee

awww, that would be tough. I was pretty ticked for about a year. Word of advice - take a deep breath and decompress. From experience I discovered that being ticked didn't help the situation and it didn't affect anyone but me.
12:42 am
rururocks

yeah.. I eventually got to that
12:42 am
VolleymomDee

so sorry to hear about your brother... that is really difficult
12:42 am
rururocks

it's really depressing .. he was doing better
12:43 am
rururocks

he won't go into counseling to help himself and he's internalizing our childhood (not great memories)

you learned faster than I did... I still have some issues about my hubby's new bosses / owners... anger rears its ugly head if you let it. Several alcoholics in our family... watching them self destruct is really tough. That can't be helpful.
12:44 am
VolleymomDee

He may have to bottom out before he'll seek help... that won't be easy to observe.
12:44 am
rururocks

and the worst is we got hit with a massive tax bill
12:44 am
rururocks

he won't live to the bottom.. his liver is in really bad shape
12:45 am
VolleymomDee

so very sorry about the taxes... that stinks
12:45 am
VolleymomDee

How old is your brother?
12:45 am
rururocks

it really does.. after paying a ton in quarterlies and still owing even more
12:46 am
rururocks

he's 64
12:46 am
rururocks

he's got three great kids and a really good wife. he is blowing it
12:46 am
VolleymomDee

That IS tough... get sick feeling every time I see how much we pay each year.
12:47 am
VolleymomDee

Does he still live at home?
12:47 am
rururocks

sort of
12:47 am
rururocks

he lives in my parents second home (kinda free rent)
12:48 am
VolleymomDee

That has to be really difficult for his wife and kids to see, as he slides downhill. Alcoholism is a nasty disease.
12:48 am
rururocks

I was over his house for thanksgiving and I had my suspicions .. he offered me wine..but I refuse to drink in front of his kids
12:49 am
rururocks

My parents had alcohol issues and several aunts and uncles.. I think it was a thing after the war
12:50 am
VolleymomDee

Sign of social status in some parts of the country... one of our family members fell into that social trap and then into alcoholism...
12:50 am
rururocks

damn.. it's too late to eat more and I'm still hungry :D
12:51 am
rururocks

yeah.. seen many crash and burn in my industry dee
12:51 am
VolleymomDee

See it happening with my daughter's generation. Why too late to eat more salad? It's never too late for salad.
12:51 am
rururocks

I see it happening to kids in their twenties too.. all the cocktails and bar hopping
12:52 am
VolleymomDee

Scares me ... watching our daughter and their friends. I have shared concerns, but they pooh pooh my comments. Now, I just hush.
12:53 am
rururocks

yep.. sometimes it is better to shut up than alienate the kids
12:53 am
VolleymomDee

Unfortunately, I really don't even think interventions work... I think the person has to make the first move.
12:53 am
rururocks

that's how it goes.
12:53 am
rururocks

i'm afraid my brother wants to drink himself to death
12:54 am
VolleymomDee

Hopefully, your house will sell quickly, so you don't have to worry about that anymore.
12:54 am
VolleymomDee

He may. At 64, he may be giving up the fight.
12:54 am
rururocks

yeah.. we have two couples interested in it already
12:54 am
rururocks

we should be going to market fairly soon
12:55 am
VolleymomDee

One less burden. I am sure you are ready.
12:56 am
flosey

so true, Dee, son of one of my cousins became alcoholic - quite a young lad, won Survivor a few years back, lots of money, other problems, but he was referred to Dr. Phil and was on his show, has been greatly helped - a bit of that show might be on tomorrow's Dr.Phil
12:56 am
VolleymomDee

Wow, flosey! How interesting!
12:56 am
rururocks

Dr Phil would get me to start drinking he's so smarmy
12:57 am
flosey

real sweet guy - but became ugly with the alcohol
12:57 am
VolleymomDee

would be wonderful if the show would motivate even a couple of people to seek help
12:57 am
flosey

well ru, I think this was a last resort for this young fella, with a whole life ahead of him, sure hope it sticks
12:57 am
VolleymomDee

2 of our family members also became hateful... it's even worse if they are not friendly drunks
12:58 am
rururocks

be back in a bit.. I have to eat something
1:00 am
VolleymomDee

I sure hope it sticks, too, flosey. Our church has a recovery program, and there are some pretty cool success stories.
1:01 am
flosey

great to hear Dee, this family is quite religious too,
1:02 am
VolleymomDee

Not to sound corny, but I think those kind of life changes are most successful, when they are faith based. I just don't see how they could do it on their own.
1:02 am
VolleymomDee

fireworks
1:02 am
flosey

wtg Dee, good for you
1:03 am
VolleymomDee

I had to use lickety for last 18... I just didn't see some of these words (like the rh 5/16)
1:03 am
VolleymomDee

ty
1:03 am
flosey

lol, am puzzling over that now
1:04 am
VolleymomDee

rh + sometimes vowel + cross letter + 1st vowel
1:05 am
flosey

tyty, would not have monkeyed that
1:06 am
VolleymomDee

yqw... are there any others I can help you find?
1:06 am
flosey

1:06 am
flosey

you have a good sleep now and get rid of these nasty cold bugs
1:07 am
VolleymomDee

yw... I used morewords several times :). I feel fortunate we have all these resources.
1:07 am
flosey

they sure come in handy
1:08 am
flosey

without these resources, I'd have given up years ago
1:08 am
VolleymomDee

Definitely. Ty, flosey. We are both sick of feeling sick. I am on antibiotic for a LONG time; fingers crossed it will finally knock whatever this is. Hubby is taking handfuls of vitamins.
1:08 am
VolleymomDee

Oh, me, too!
1:09 am
VolleymomDee

I have been putting off using the steroids, but I filled the prescription and will start next week, if necessary. I just hate to be on them again.
1:10 am
VolleymomDee

Sleep well and happy babbling! Tell, ru, I hope his day improves tomorrow!

3:40 am
grannyrose

my last blood tests said my haemoglobin was 'normal'. for someone who doesn't suffer from gaisbok syndrome. it is a familial syndrome, which give high haemoglobins, like a person who has polycythaemia. someone who has too much iron in their blood. and my body functions with more iron than the usual person.
3:42 am
grannyrose

pugs, he has so many projects on the boil. we need to replace the wood around the house, outside, below the floor level.
3:42 am
puglet

that probablly why you have so much energy
3:42 am
puglet

do you eat much liver
3:42 am
grannyrose

yes, pugs, and when it is within 'normal ' levels i am lethargic.
3:43 am
puglet

3:43 am
grannyrose

maybe the healing of your knee is taking extra iron from your system

3:53 am

Leaves fall all the time.

Don't really get any bare trees here.

I will put in a extra prayer for you Rose this morning
4:12 am

4:28 am
sprite

4:29 am

4:29 am

Hello everyone :-)
4:40 am

no idea, rose. Some weird blind spot.
4:40 am
grannyrose

' loves the zooz "
4:40 am
puglet

how is zoom and did you find any goodies at the(what did you call it) carboot?
4:41 am
zoozzoom

Sprite & Pugs you leave our Rose alone ( i got your back Rose)
4:41 am
grannyrose

zooz, has been at a car-boot sale ??
4:41 am
sprite

every week with his parents, rose
4:42 am
zoozzoom

Nothing much there, Pugs just complete rubbish..and yes it is called carboot :-0
4:42 am
sprite

zooz, give rose her back back, she still needs it.
4:42 am
grannyrose

roflol, thanx zooz...
4:42 am
zoozzoom

LOL
4:42 am
puglet

what is a carboot sale? where people sell things from their trunks?
4:43 am
grannyrose

omg, i so love you girls and guys.
4:43 am
sprite

it is mutual, sweet rose :D
4:43 am
zoozzoom

They take things in there car-boot or trunk as you call it..and place them on table tops and sell there house hold goods or rubbish as i call it..to the general public, Pugs.
4:43 am
grannyrose

pugs,originally, yes.
4:43 am
puglet

love you back Rose and are we making you feel better
4:44 am
grannyrose

yes, pugs...
4:44 am
puglet

like what we call flea markets then
4:44 am
grannyrose

yes, pugs!!!
4:44 am
sprite

rose has even laughed a couple of times :)
4:44 am
puglet

thats all that matters then Rose :)
4:45 am
zoozzoom

Yes we do have flea markets too..but there is no way i am buying any fleas thanks.
4:45 am
sprite

no, we can get those for free
4:45 am
zoozzoom

lol
4:45 am
puglet

not even the trick ones Zoom-lol
4:45 am
zoozzoom

Teehee
4:46 am
grannyrose

tomorrow, i go to physio only...no hydro.... trying to work out what is causing me so much discomfort...
4:46 am
sprite

good idea, rose. And please make sure you don't start at work until you know, and can manage it all.
4:46 am
puglet

is it in the knee only Rose or all of your body
4:47 am
grannyrose

knee only...which makes me think it is the hydrotherapy.
4:48 am
sprite

it is too easy to overdo things in water, rose. You don't feel exactly how much you are stressing stuff in warm water. And afterwards your weight comes back on that knee.
4:48 am
zoozzoom

Poor , Rose, I do hope your knee will get better soon.
4:48 am
zoozzoom

katty
4:48 am
grannyrose

oh...and the feeling i don't want to eat..
4:49 am
zoozzoom

Sprite..do you have the K?
4:49 am
sprite

I am NOT katty
4:49 am
sprite

I do, thanks to rose, zooz. Think martial art.
4:49 am
grannyrose

yup, sprite. exactly...
4:50 am
zoozzoom

Got it..thank you!
4:50 am
sprite

not at all happy with you not wanting to eat. Any idea where that comes from?
4:50 am
sprite

yvw zooz :)
4:50 am
grannyrose

zooz, ka4, ka + abbreviation for thank-you
4:50 am
grannyrose

yay, zooz
4:51 am
puglet

rose you didnt answer Sprite's question
4:51 am
grannyrose

sprite, don't want to eat because of pain/ache. i need to listen to my body.
4:51 am
puglet

are you developing a eating disorder now
4:52 am
grannyrose

never, pugs...love food too muych.
4:53 am
puglet

well that isnt saying dont feed me---your body is lieing to you
4:53 am
grannyrose

aagghh!!where did th4 y come from? *much*
4:53 am
sprite

ah, yes, pain can ruin a good appetite pretty quickly. You do need to listen to your body. And take the pain more seriously. It is a fine balance between exercising to get full health back and not overdoing things. I think... you need to lean a little more to the not overdoing side.
4:53 am
puglet

you cant mend without eating
4:54 am
sprite

listen to pugs
4:54 am
puglet

just lean?
4:54 am
grannyrose

thanx my dear friends. you are both on the knocker.
4:56 am
puglet

if you got that much pain Rose Iam with Sprite, you must be doing TOO MUCH too soon
4:56 am
zoozzoom

My fater has to have his meals cut into very small pieces and sometimes he says his throat closes up and he cannot eat for days on end..he take diazpan and his inhaler to try and keep his throat from closing each meal time...we have no idea what that is all about.
4:57 am
zoozzoom

Sorry if i have said any grid words in my chat.
4:57 am
grannyrose

pugs, sprite...i am trying so hard to understand what my body is telling me.
4:57 am
zoozzoom

father*
4:57 am
sprite

aw poor man, zooz. Sounds like an emotional thing to me...
4:58 am
grannyrose

zooz, so much sorrow, my dearest friend...
4:58 am
sprite

rose, darling, even I can hear your body talk from here. It says: "Give me time to mend, rose. I am working as hard as I can. But it takes TIME. Stand up for yourself and me, tell work it will take a couple more months, and do about half the exercise you are doing now."
4:58 am
puglet

could be that flap in the back of the th6 swollen or not working right
4:58 am
zoozzoom

That is what i said to him, Sprite, I said now it has happened he is thinking it will happen again and so it does..but he just can't seem to shake it off....it does not happen all the time but too often for my likning
4:58 am
grannyrose

okay....dinner sounds like it is on the way...catch you all later
4:59 am
puglet

Is he going to go have it checked out
4:59 am
zoozzoom

Enjoy your meal, Rose!
4:59 am
puglet

enjoy Rose and hurry back
4:59 am

you read my post before you go, rose!
4:59 am
Lizlin

Back for a few minutes. Hi zooz - so sorry to read about your father's health.
4:59 am
zoozzoom

Hello, Liz :-)
5:00 am
puglet

LOL Sprite---you give it to her
5:00 am
grannyrose

yes, dearest sprite.
5:00 am
puglet

re hi Liz
5:00 am
Lizlin

Sprite, so agree with what you're saying to Rose. I know it's frustrating for her but her poor body has been through so much.
5:04 am
sprite

I think you hit it on the nail, zooz. Kind of a self fulfilling prophecy. Hard to battle. He might want to try and trick himself... sit at the table with food he likes in front of him and tell himself he is not allowed to eat it. See if that clears things up.
5:04 am
puglet

reset time
5:04 am
sprite

yeah it is really frustrating. And so hard for our rose to reign herself in, she is such an active person. But if she tries to force it now, it will only take longer.
5:05 am
Lizlin

I agree but I guess you get a day where you're feeling better and then just do more than you should because you feel good - then comes the setback!
5:05 am
zoozzoom

I did reply to you, Liz with a lengthy reply but the reset time swallowed it..lol
5:05 am
sprite

oh yes! Been there, done that, lol. Still do that sometimes.
5:05 am
zoozzoom

Thanks, Sprite will tell him that..good idea.
5:06 am
Lizlin

No probs Zooz - I always forget about reset time!
5:06 am

not really new since the cancer surgery but now that his immune systsem's recovered, the Crohn's (which was also discovered at the same time as the cancer) is starting to act up. So he's on medication for that, and has a new list of things not to eat. It's a little complicated.

Molly, just for future reference, Brit short goodbye is actually a shortened version of thank you. Goodbye is double the word you are cluing!
6:10 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

nbt and i even found an 8, woot
6:11 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

lindrick, not that i disagree, but you should be aware, american think that "ta" means goodbye and are unaware that it means thank you! 8-)
6:11 pm
MollyL

Interesting. I see a lot of people use those two letters for goodbye.
6:12 pm
Lindrickway

Gwen that is american, Molly said English!
6:12 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

so, to clue an american for "ta" you can clue it as goodbye, but if you clue it as thank you, they might still be confused
6:13 pm
Lindrickway

Molly, I am from Yorkshire and that is how it is defined
6:13 pm
MollyL

I'm already confused. I get why people use ty for thank you but not how ta became thank you.
6:13 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

handy that we have our little flags in here 8-)
6:13 pm
Lindrickway

Not that I mean to argue either
6:14 pm
Lindrickway

it is a yorkshire word for ty
6:14 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

i can't answer that, i'm just saying, if you are trying to give a clue to an american, they will not get "ta" from "thank you"
6:15 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

we have plenty of good slang over on this side of the pond LOL
6:16 pm
MollyL

It could get even more confusing if we get into "tata" vs "tatas" : D
6:16 pm
Lindrickway

Yeah I lived in Toronto for a number of years and learned quite a few American/Canadian slang words lol
6:16 pm
phandmd

indeed, Molly
6:16 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

tatas!
6:16 pm
Lindrickway

tata mean goodbye in the UK
6:17 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

then there's "collision" which means a shop where you take your car to get it fixed after a collision . . .
6:17 pm
Lindrickway

isn't it strange how languages change in different ways on different continents!
6:18 pm
Lindrickway

so what is a collision shop? what does it sell?
6:18 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

what's really fun is watching some British TV show where they are talking about money (I mean pre-1971 British money) with my American friends and wondering how confused they are by that!
6:18 pm
MollyL

And if the Brits need medicine, they go to the chemist. Here we go to the pharmacy and a chemist is someone who works in a lab.
6:19 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

a collision fixes you car. elsewhere I believe it's called a "body shop"
6:19 pm
Lindrickway

ok thanks Gwen, a chemist is a shop, where as a pharmacy is in a supermarket here
6:20 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

another regionalism: the party store. in and around where I live, it's a little store that sells booze, pop, snacks, etc

Most of which are not used in a "marital" sense at all.
