I got out my bike yesterday and rode it down the road for a bit and now my knees are sore
1:59 am

ouch pugs. Wtg on getting the bike out, but please give yourself time to get used to it again? As in very small distances at first?
1:59 am

It has turned hot here. Didn't have much springtime.
2:00 am

well its only to last until tomorrow and then drop back down and rain/storms coming in
2:00 am
puglet

does the heat make you feel better Peach
2:01 am

The heat does, but not the humidity that will be here very soon.
2:02 am
puglet

if our road didnt have such upgrades the bike riding would go alot easier---downhill and the flat areas are fine its going up hill thats a bummer
2:02 am
gapeach

Oh, no, puglet. Not more storms!
2:03 am
sprite

yes. Try walking uphill for now, pug. Up an incline is very very taxing for your knees if you are on a bike.
2:03 am

thats what the map was showing yesterday for us--rain and storms over the week-end

2:11 am

2:12 am
gapeach

Prayers and energy from here too, sprite.
2:13 am
puglet

are you okay Sprite
2:13 am
sprite

it seems it isn't a fast growing cancer, most of the time. They think they got the whole tumor out. Next is a scan of the lungs to see if it has... what's the word... started elsewhere as well. If not, she will be monitored very closely to see if it comes back. It often comes back, often in the same place. Might not be slow growing then, though.
2:13 am
sprite

thank you peach :)
2:13 am
puglet

Hugs to you Sprite--I know you are having a rough time with things
2:13 am

to see if it has metastis, spread elsewhereised
2:16 am
grannyrose

metastisised
2:17 am
sprite

oh, Tim said since they think they got it all out, why was it bad news... and when I explained about how you live with cancer in your body and having a sword of Damocles over your head all the time, waiting for it to come back, he said that sounded very doable.
2:17 am
grannyrose

oh i see what happened, for some reason words were put in a different order to what i typed.
2:17 am
sprite

that one, rose, thank you :) They didn't discuss yet what will happen when it has metastisised to the lungs. We will cross that bridge if we get to it, I guess.
2:18 am
sprite

I kind of like spread elsewhereised.
2:18 am
grannyrose

teens!! * rolls eyes * they are so immortal, aren't they?
2:19 am
sprite

I said I hoped he would never be asked to 'do' that doable thing. Then he stood up from dinner and went upstairs. Didn't want to talk about it later either. God, he will be 18 this month. Don't they EVER grow up?
2:20 am

2:20 am

2:24 am
puglet

I got to take W to his aunts birthday get-together saturday and Iam not looking forward to that at all. She is in her late 90's and nice but I dont feel I fit in with his family and plus for some reason I embarress him--:(
2:24 am
grannyrose

*giggle* yes, why do you ask? *can't wait to hear response*
2:24 am
sprite

pugs, don't do it then. Let him get a ride from one of his family members.
2:25 am
sprite

lol rose! I just wanted to know if hubby was over his canary pout yet.
2:25 am
puglet

there is no one close enough to do that
2:25 am
grannyrose

what sprite said, pugs. tell him to take a long walk.....off a short pier, while he's at it.
2:26 am
sprite

amen to what rose said
2:26 am
sprite

then they can drive a bit longer for him. Better that than having you at a party where you feel bad and are made to feel worse.
2:26 am
grannyrose

i think so, sprite. oh my, if i could only take a photo of what i am seeing at this very moment. you gals would fall off your chairs.
2:27 am

Wor, are the hanging baskets there very pricey

2:52 am

is it mother's day for you all sunday?
2:53 am
worzel

I don't want to get into legal trouble, but there is absolutely no conclusive proof that alcohol has any effect against medication. I don't want to advocate that you imbibe, of course, but I'm just passing on the truth xx

Yes pugs, mother's day on Sunday here. Am not going to remind my family this time.
2:53 am

pug the baskets can be bought really cheaply if you buy the baskets and plants separately. I can do a basket for around £5 all in, but if i was to buy one that was already made up it would cost me three times that much

It is at be4 disingenuous to declare alcohol has no effect when used when taking medications. Do a search. My treatment team was adament about not using alcohol when taking my medications.
3:09 am
grannyrose

o-o, it really depends on the medication, and how it acts.

There are many variables in addition to the medication. To say there is no conclusive proof is simply wrong
3:13 am
o-o

There are plenty of drugs that come with that cute bright orange warning sticker attached, telling you not to drink when taking them. However, the sticker can fall off, or not get attached in the first place, or you might just really need that cocktail and figure it'll be OK "just this once." But alcohol, combined with a long list of painkillers, sedatives, and other medications, becomes a deadly poison in these situations. In fact, many experts now say you shouldn't drink when on any medication without first checking with your doctor.
3:13 am
TraderKate

she was a college kid in good health, went out for drinks and took a valium, went into a coma, never woke up... sparked the long legal battle to have hte right to "pull the plug"..was huge...
of course, a case like that is very rare, but drug interactions are guidelines because sometimes sh** happens.
3:14 am
grannyrose

agreed, o-o. that was out of line. because research does show that alcohol and certain types of medications should never be mixed.i think any thing which changes the way a brain works, should be carefully monitored, and never mixed with alcohol. but that is all subjective.
3:14 am
TraderKate

sedatives and booze combo lowers the cns responses... people pass out and just stop breathing :(
3:15 am
worzel

Ok, I shall re-write my earlier comment. There is no conclusive proof that alcohol taken alongside medicated drugs when taken at the doseage prescribed causes dangerous side effects. Obviously any medication taken to an extreme dosage will have effects, especially when taken with excess alcohol. I'm only going on what has been recently published in the Lancet journal. Hope I haven't offended or upset or confused anyone. As I said, too, I wouldn't advocate anybody taking alcohol and drugs at the same time
3:16 am
TraderKate

you read the lancet?
3:16 am
grannyrose

yeah, our own responses to drugs and alcohol are all different. our absorption rate, and excretion rates are all different.
3:17 am
worzel

I do. My dad was a neurosurgeon and tried desperately to educate me into the ways of medicine. Although I didn't enjoy that field of work I still take an active interest
3:18 am

don has had blood tests for Vitamin D levels show they are still very low. he has been taking 1000 microunits of Vit D for weeks, and has been working outside in the sunshine, with out a shirt. his excretion rate is very fast.

we are all adults here, at least i presume so. for those who are not an adult, i apologise.
3:22 am

This comment comes from the only Lancet article I could find:

The association between alcohol consumption and risk of gout has been suspected since ancient times, but has not been prospectively confirmed. Additionally, potential differences in risk of gout posed by different alcoholic beverages have not been assessed.
3:22 am

some people have a high tolerance to various drugs, including opiates.. i am the same :(
4:02 am
grannyrose

oh, for goodness sake. our previous government racked up an enormous debt. and now, we, the tax-payers are expected to pay it off. our current government cannot find any other way to pay this debt. i can. i want the politicians to give up at least $300K of THEIR income...
4:03 am
TraderKate

same song, different country rose ;)
4:03 am
puglet

yeah like that will happen Rose--its much like that here
4:05 am
grannyrose

i am so angry with this. why should the people of a country carry the debt of a government. if justice is to be done, let the politicians demonstrate their eagerness to reduce the national debt.
4:10 am

going to take a break from this so good night Rose, love and hugs and bye to all

oh, dear....i am on my high horse...have just emailed my prime minister and the opposition leader. i am so angry about this new levy...
4:19 am
TraderKate

careful rose, you'll end up on a "watch list" lol!
4:22 am
grannyrose

*giggle* kate, they need to know how the average citizen feels. i am NOT going to let this go.
4:24 am
grannyrose

if our politicians would give up $300k of their wages, it would give back so much to the economy.
4:25 am
TraderKate

rose that would literally be a drop in the bucket...
and i'm not s sure you're an "average" citizen..
4:27 am
TraderKate

i don't pay a lot of attention to aussie economy, but you were one of the few countries in the world that didn't tank during the big meltdown in 2007-2009... perhaps the government supported the economy and that led to the debt...
4:28 am
TraderKate

in which case, you should be glad it didn't hit you.. the fallout was/is terrible!
4:29 am
grannyrose

too true, kate. thanx for your words.
4:30 am
grannyrose

oh, the news just clarified. the levy is for high income earners...wonder if that includes the politicians.
4:32 am
grannyrose

* head wagging* just what do you mean? i am not an average citizen? lolol

We gave our huge bar b q to the local Sicilian as we weren't using it any more. He can fit it into his kitchen and will probably use it well. He has been such a help to us, always ready to lend a hand, and they are like family, too
4:33 am

nice, ruby. i hope they appreciate it.
4:34 am

4:54 am
grannyrose

liz, went shopping for party decorations today. the party shop will deliver the balloons. and i bought clear candle holders which change colours like a disco .
4:54 am
grannyrose

clear candle holders are a six and a zero.
4:54 am
Lizlin

Sounds like good fun. Does Don know everything you've planned or are there some surprises?
4:55 am
Lizlin

cool! Hope you'll take loads of pics.
4:56 am
grannyrose

there are some surprises. like the candle holders, the banners, and the balloons. oh, and the cake...he doesn't know about the tira misu cake yet...
4:57 am
Lizlin

Did you make it or order it in the end? I'm sure it'll be yummy either way.
4:57 am
Lizlin

How long is the step daughter staying with you?
4:57 am
grannyrose

liz, we have an italian cake shop near us. i did order it from there.
4:58 am
Lizlin

I've never had tiramisu as a cake - I love the dessert though.
4:58 am
Lizlin

I'm sure it's going to be an amazing weekend for you and Don will love it.
4:59 am
grannyrose

not sure, re the step-daughter. i have paid for 2 days hire-car. i have told her, that i expect her to visit her mum on mother's day.
4:59 am
Lizlin

Give you some space!!!!
4:59 am
Lizlin

That's very nice of you to have paid for the car hire!
4:59 am

cake is very close to the cake, flavour wise.
5:04 am
Lizlin

Hmm! 8.00 reset - chat disappears into the ether!
5:04 am
grannyrose

ugh, yup
5:04 am
Lizlin

Well anyway, take it easy before the big day, so you really enjoy it, Rose!
5:05 am
Lizlin

I've been babbling at slightly different times - how's Pugs? I've missed her.
5:05 am
grannyrose

cake is very close to the dessert. an italian baker making it.
5:06 am
grannyrose

pugs, is doing well. her meds have brought her BSL way down.
5:06 am
Lizlin

That will taste and look tremendous - sure it will be quickly guzzled down!
5:06 am
Lizlin

Are you doing finger food or more meal-ish food?
5:06 am
Lizlin

Glad to read that about Pugs - I'm sure I'll catch her soon or I'll e mail her.
5:06 am
Lizlin

How's Sprite - saw her briefly yesterday.
5:07 am
grannyrose

liz, party shop delivering balloons. and the pub is serving finger foods, both savoury and sweet.
5:07 am
grannyrose

sprite still has a nasty cold hanging on.
5:07 am
Lizlin

So hopefully quite easy for you - not too much preparation. Have you got something new to wear?
5:08 am
Lizlin

Poor Sprite - she's had a rough time with colds over the past few months.
5:08 am
grannyrose

nah...will pick out something i haven't worn for a while, i guess.
5:08 am
Lizlin

I really hope we get to Amsterdam, when we're in Europe - depends on time and money though!
5:09 am
Lizlin

You'll look great whatever :)
5:09 am
grannyrose

i am hoping the focus will be on don....lol
5:09 am
Lizlin

I'm sure he'll look great too :)
5:10 am
grannyrose

oh, dear, liz. he is threatening to wear his purple velvet jester's hat, with bells on it.
5:10 am
Lizlin

Well - you could wear your tutu!
5:11 am
Lizlin

Who bought him a jester's hat??????
5:11 am
grannyrose

he has been sitting here all afternoon and evening, with it on. and he expects me to keep a straight face.
5:11 am
Lizlin

Not possible!
5:12 am
grannyrose

he had it before we were married.
5:12 am
Lizlin

And you found it, when you were clearing out? Couldn't it magically disappear until after the weekend?
5:13 am
grannyrose

lol, on which leg will i wear the tutu?
5:13 am
Lizlin

Mind you - the photos!!!!
5:13 am
Lizlin

Make a paper crown!
5:15 am
