hi there Sprite

1:53 am
sprite

hi flosey :)
1:54 am

*weary sigh* and cooee and g'day from me.
1:54 am
sprite

rose! *hugs* How did it go????
1:54 am
puglet

Yeah! Rose has came back to us :)
1:55 am
grannyrose

the party was such a runaway success. don enjoyed himself immensely.
1:55 am
grannyrose

may i please have a note to have a week off to recover?
1:55 am
puglet

GREAT!!! so happy for you
1:55 am
sprite

am so glad, rose. And, dare we ask... how are you?
1:55 am
sprite

*writes a note for two weeks*
1:56 am
grannyrose

very, very tired. feel like i could sleep for a week.
1:56 am
puglet

we told you to not over do it!
1:57 am
grannyrose

just bone-tired. very little pain, and very little nausea. even made it to church this AM.
1:57 am
puglet

we told you to not over do it!
1:57 am
sprite

sounds like what the doctor ordered. Sleep, rose. Relax, put those feet up, lean back and think of england. Oh no, not that last part.
1:57 am
grannyrose

too late, sprite, did that already...lol....maybe that's why i'm tired?
1:58 am
puglet

did you get us plenty of pictures?
1:58 am
sprite

hahahaha nah, that is a good thing. Of course you are tired, it was a huge job. And you pulled it off. If you are still in little pain tomorrow and not much nausea, I'd say you gouged your stamina pretty accurately.
1:59 am
grannyrose

step-daughter behaved herself...and everyone was so willing to step in and help. the hostess at the function rooms was marvellous. nothing was too much for her to attend to.
1:59 am
sprite

awesome, and as it should be. Sounds like a perfect success, rose.
2:01 am
grannyrose

pugs, pics coming from all over. i had no time for taking pics. i was kept reasonably busy circulating, making sure people were introduced to each other. and making sure food was handed around. the three eldest nephews were a delight. did what ever i asked of them,. i am so proud of them.
2:01 am
sprite

good boys :)
2:02 am
puglet

that was good of them and cant wait to see them
2:03 am
grannyrose

lol, young chris who is 15, and already over 6' tall was very handy at rescuing balloons out of reach on the ceiling for his younger cousins.
2:03 am
puglet

were you ladies remembered today?
2:03 am
sprite

*nods wisely* tall guys are so very handy.
2:05 am
grannyrose

don bought me the most beautiful bouquet of chrissies, lilies and irises. son simon bought me chockies and a pamper package, body lotion, hand cream, shower gel, bath bombs etc.josh is due at any moment. so if all of a sudden i'm not here, you know why.
2:05 am
sprite

wow nice :)
2:06 am
grannyrose

and you, sprite? how did you fare?
2:06 am
puglet

good for them Rose--glad they remembered you---what about you Sprite

2:10 am
puglet

Iam not doing very good with this grid today--Iam just not into it today
2:10 am
grannyrose

i understand sprite. i like that 30 minutes or so before don gets up, too. no telephone, no television, no doorbell, no voices. it's heaven.
2:11 am
puglet

I would say so Sprite! I do hope they think of you
2:11 am
sprite

exactly, rose :) Peace and quiet and some undisturbed ME time.
2:12 am
sprite

2:15 am
grannyrose

2:16 am
puglet

2:16 am
sprite

hi, flosey!
2:25 am

red boxes and then the server went down
2:25 am
puglet

Hi melon and good night flosey
2:25 am
melonheadjujube

so I noticed, puglet.
2:25 am
melonheadjujube

love your icon, too.
2:26 am
puglet

did we lose sprite---thanks melon
2:26 am
grannyrose

melon, wonderful news from you. you are amazing, girl. me?? i'm struggling to make it through 2 hours at work.
2:26 am
puglet

havent seen you for a while Melon--hows things with you
2:27 am
melonheadjujube

I had an amazing surgeon, hospital, children, etc.
2:27 am
melonheadjujube

I had total hip replacement surgery, puglet, on April 9.
2:27 am
puglet

oh wow Melon---you doing okay now
2:28 am
melonheadjujube

Had what is called anterolateral approach which spares muscles. They had me standing 6 hours after surgery. No weight-bearing restrictions, no movement restrictions. Home after three days.
2:28 am
puglet

that was fast! Hows things going with your son
2:29 am
melonheadjujube

I feel like a sports car that got an after-market suspension! Turns out I had dysplasia in that hip, as well as bone-on-bone athritis. So my new equipment is better than the original (;
2:29 am
puglet

Am so glad for you Melon!
2:30 am
grannyrose

melon, i am so looking forward to when i can have mine done. both hips are so sore after 1-2 hours on my feet. it seems to have become worse since this last lot of knee surgery.
2:30 am
melonheadjujube

Up and down with the kid. Staying at his dad's, about a mile away. Staying sober, but also sleeping 12 hours a day. Didn't hear from him for a few weeks. Now we talk every day, so I think he may be turning a corner. He's safe, at the very least.
2:31 am
grannyrose

oh, melon, what great news. am so glad you can see such an improvement.
2:31 am
melonheadjujube

Oh, my granny! As it happens, all my knee pain was referred pain from the hip. Amazingly, my left ankle felt better after the operation (which was the right hip!).
2:31 am
puglet

well that gives you some peace of mind at least
2:31 am
melonheadjujube

This is one weird grid. I am nowhere near nbt, but I've got 19 of the 30 Cs (:
2:32 am
melonheadjujube

true, puglet.
2:33 am
grannyrose

did our sprite go? did i miss saying good-bye? :-(
2:33 am
melonheadjujube

It's also a relief to have him out of the house. I'm too old for child rearing! Not easy to hand over the reins, but necessary. For me and for him.
2:33 am
puglet

she must of got caught up in the server messing up
2:34 am
grannyrose

melon, if it helps any, i think you did the right thing. i had to talk to my hubby, when he had to hand over the reins on his daughters. sometimes kids need to move onto the other parent, to complete their maturing.
2:34 am
puglet

now Melon you can play that piano like Jerry Lewis---might even get the legs up there too --lol
2:35 am
grannyrose

yeah, pugs, we can call her tinkling toes....lolol
2:36 am
puglet

you could join her Rose--lol
2:36 am
melonheadjujube

Seriously, I am planning to go to salsa class on monday night, if only for the 1st half hour. granny, you are right, it was clear to me that my son was not going to grow up if he stayed with mom.
2:37 am
puglet

oh how nice Melon--and you just might me4 someone special there too
2:38 am
grannyrose

*nods head* i know, sweetie. it was so hard for me to let number two son go to his father's. in fact, i sometimes dream and cry about it in my sleep. and that was nearly 20 years ago.
2:40 am
melonheadjujube

Oh, this dance class is all about dancing-and going home. Alone. Without really working at it one way or the other, I've become this happy single woman, and I can't imagine doing anything that would upset my contentment.
2:42 am
melonheadjujube

My biggest worry with my son recently has been that the way he is now will be his new baseline. Not working, isolated, sleeping too much. I see small signs of improvement, and this gives me hope.

2:48 am
puglet

I dont get why someone would put like a four piece on there
2:48 am

2:48 am

2:49 am
melonheadjujube

2:54 am
grannyrose

3:05 am

3:06 am
worzel

True - well, you did have me at a very early age. We've both faired quite well in the youth stakes, too, both being such handsome beasts as we are

Iam going to head out and try for a hour or two of sleep before heading out to church--blessings to all----I dont think flying Rose--more like crawling here--lol

Kallia

3:15 am
grannyrose

3:15 am

That's got me thinking, too. Don't hear much about Bryan Brown these days. He still going?
3:19 am
grannyrose

hey, kallia, i remember now. you were talking about this a while ago. has it taken all this time for the medico's to work out what is wrong?
3:19 am
grannyrose

???? worzel, i just don't know...
3:20 am
Kallia

yep, but its waiting for the xrays that is causing the delay now, I have a date for the op, but they may not have the xrays in time...only one place in the county do them and only appointment was 6 days before op date, it takes 10-14 days to get them to the consultnt!
3:21 am
worzel

Just Googled Bryan Brown and he's still around a bit. Also found out that the lovely Wendy Hughes passed over in March. Such an amazing actress, very sad
3:21 am
grannyrose

according to wikipedia...the last thing he was in was an episode of the 'good wife' in 2011.
3:22 am
grannyrose

egad, kallia. well i hope all progresses well for you dear.
3:22 am

I ordered a platter of pastrami, corned beef, brisket and ALL the trimmings and salads. Bobby bought Liz a talking MD card (first time, his own money). It will be a grand time.
6:20 am

It's a joke in my family that whatever I like will be discontinued...products, TV shows, restaurants....
6:20 am

And we stayed in an immensely posh hotel just off of Times Square, right by Broadway. So amazing to see the massive limousines in the evening pulling up outside the theatres. And we went walking round NYC at about midnight and the shops were all open, the people so friendly - nothing like you hear in the news. Such an amazing metropolis
7:03 am

You could try!

you show me how it is done, jaxx
2:21 pm

I will leave it to the expert, crossy

Can I ask your advice, crossy?
2:23 pm
crosshair

you can.
2:26 pm
crosshair

must be a big question...
2:27 pm
jaxx7

My daughter's partner of 12 years has just lost his father, my grandson's paternal grandfather. The funeral is tomorrow. said partner has just decreed that only Ashley can be in the funeral procession, leaving my daughter and Ashley's halfsister with no transport. he says they are not immediate family. What would do, if anything?
2:28 pm
jaxx7

you do, even
2:28 pm
crosshair

reading..
2:29 pm
crosshair

it is sad whne people fight at funerals. What should be done, is whatever brings peace and lets a smooth ceremony happen
2:30 pm
crosshair

funerals are no time to spar over past hurts or misdeed, or to air any mistrust or hatred
2:31 pm
crosshair

If the immediate family wants no others, it must be taken at face value
2:32 pm
jaxx7

The paternal grandmother has declared that my grand-daughter by another (equally difficult) man is her grand-daughter too and that she wouldn't have coped with all the arrangements without my daughter's help.
2:33 pm
crosshair

who is executor? or family head at this time?
2:33 pm
jaxx7

I don't think she knows about this decree yet and I suspect the fur will fly tomorrow morning.
2:33 pm
crosshair

sigh...
2:33 pm
crosshair

this bodes ill for the will...
2:34 pm
kalea

If I may interject.......it sounds like he is concerned about old traditions,and not being spiteful..and grieving people often don't make the decisions they otherwise would...I would just arrange for transport and leave it alone
2:34 pm
jaxx7

We can't believe it, Crossy, as he wouldn't acknowledge Ashley as his son for about 6 of Ashley's 8 years.
2:34 pm
crosshair

ty, kalea. i am sometimes a little to pragmatic with these things.. I hate wars at weddings or funerals
2:35 pm
crosshair

well, protect the children as best you can
2:36 pm
crosshair

If it looks to turn into a all out war, you must decide if it is worth it to attend
2:36 pm
jaxx7

kalea, i think you are one of those who only see the best in people. This is a deliberate move on Simon's part.
2:37 pm
crosshair

i find this sort of thing reprehensible. soon they will be fighting on top of the coffin. the entire thing soon turns into a great big, snarled mess. I am sorry it is going down like this, jaxx
2:38 pm
crosshair

would be nice if eveyone who loved the person could just go and pay respects. period.
2:38 pm
jaxx7

We are going for the other grandmother's sake and taking Julie and Jess. She is a lady and treats my grand-daughter as she does her other grandchildren. Simon by the way is an only child with an uncertain temper and a drinking habit.
2:39 pm
kalea

then maybe the best is to go on her own, if she wants to go, and stay away from him..........grieve in her way
2:40 pm
jaxx7

He asked me at my own son's funeral if I hated him. I am beginning to find that I am starting to sadly
2:40 pm
ch1212

When my natural father died, I was 9 years old, and his family decreed my mom (divorced) and half-brother could not sit in the "family" section at the funeral. They insisted that I sit there however. My mom told me she weighed the importance of me being with my father's family versus her inclination to keep me with her. I had to sit with my father's family, and I remember feeling a bit abandoned, wishing I could sit with my mom.
I wish people would just honor other's presence in the lives of loved ones.
2:41 pm
crosshair

kalea may be your best bet here, jaxx. My instinct is to have a smooth funeral and remove whatever is causing a problem in that regard. I do not get into the political/ family/ no family undercurrent of it all. People should just be allowed to honor the person who has passed. Soap operas are for tv. in real life, people get hurt
2:42 pm
crosshair

and ch1212 has some good advice as well
2:43 pm
ch1212

(( all done with treatments, crossy, and so far so good.))
2:45 pm
crosshair

when we had my M.I.L's funeral my wife had executor duties suddenly and unexpectedly thrust upon her at the sudden death of her elder brother. The entire family on her side began to circle like vultures over a fresh kill. I helped my wife cut through the crap, the hate, politics whatever. We just did EXACTLY what her mum had in the will. to the letter. Let the rest of them bleat like sheep
2:45 pm
crosshair

yaa for ch1212!!
2:45 pm
crosshair

i am glad it is going well ch1212
2:46 pm
jaxx7

We will take her and jess. They must decide where they want to sit. Me? I shall be as far away from the awful man my daughter lives with as i can possibly get without leaving the chapel. I feel for Ashley as he lives with us and he won't understand why we can't sit with him. Sometimes families amaze me with what degree they will go to hurt those they profess to love
2:46 pm
kalea

when my husband died, my entire family sat in the family section along with us and his siblings.........that was their choice....they considered themselves his family (all 50 or so of them)
2:46 pm
crosshair

families hurt the most sometimes, because they know exactly where to cut
2:47 pm
jaxx7

Oh that my family were so sensible. Thanks for the advice. I promise not to attack him with my handbag.
2:48 pm
crosshair

sigh.. terrible
2:49 pm
crosshair

if i go first, my wife decides who sits in, period. make it easy
2:49 pm
ch1212

My thoughts are with you, jaxx.

When my dear Pops died (my adopted dad), the family section was open to all. Poppa also made his wishes clear before he passed, including the "Stars and Stripes Forever" being played at the conclusion of the funeral. (Old military man.)
2:49 pm
crosshair

but i am being cremated anyways. Saw no need to bury 3000 dollars worth of casket to rot in the ground
2:51 pm
crosshair

if this is not done correctly, it will create issues with your daughter and spouse.:( everyone should get together and talk
2:51 pm
ch1212

Me too, crossy, though mostly because I don't want to take up 6 feet of perfectly good ground that could be used to feed the living.
2:52 pm
ch1212

... or in my case, 5'4" worth of ground ;)
2:52 pm
mixi6

They are designed not to rot, so the ground won't fall in. , But I agree, family is family of whatever degree. sorry yours can't be civil for all the grief.
2:52 pm
crosshair

and i told my wife that between my death and hers, her job was to enjoy life and spend every last dime, so there is nothing to fight over at the end
2:53 pm
ch1212

!! Amen!! I've told my beloved the same thing.
2:53 pm
crosshair

spend it all. If you think there may be anything left, leave it to the cancer society
2:54 pm
mixi6

My sister and her husband are leaving avery to a nearby college.
2:54 pm
crosshair

actually,a good ploy is to max our your credit card in your last month, give it all to cancer society. then go out with a smile
2:54 pm
kalea

they can do what they want with me........I won't be there.......actually I hate funerals........they shoulkd just have a party
2:55 pm
crosshair

i love the idea of a big rip roaring wake
2:55 pm
ch1212

... and if you do leave it to cancer research, you can give it directly to the research project you choose at the research facility you choose. That way, no dilution, no funds spent on advertising, ribbons, etc.

how goes the house?
11:30 pm
stidmama

thanks bugs-- happy day to you too. The house is getting there. Tom and Grant are tiling the shower, I am sick again, I think I ate too soon after being sick on Friday.
11:30 pm
stidmama

Hoping that resting now will mean I can go to school in the morning.
11:31 pm
stidmama

I hope you had a nice day? It was cool and gloomy until about 1 here, then sunny and warm. I really enjoyed the "sunny and warm" part of the day!
11:31 pm
Bugsaw

oh you poor thing. there is a terrible flu up here but so I am immune
11:32 pm
Bugsaw

it was sunny and warm here too but for the first year in a long time all my boys contacted me! how nice when they grow up
11:32 pm
stidmama

WOW! that is marvelous, Bugs! so happy they were all able to be in touch today.
11:33 pm
stidmama

This is definitely viral in origin, but I think the virus is pretty well gone and my system is just being dodgy now.
11:34 pm
Bugsaw

so hard when your body is so fine tuned. I hope you grow out of it as you grow up hee hee
11:37 pm
stidmama

LOL thanks -- maybe in a few decades, eh?
11:38 pm
Bugsaw

I hope it is not the kind of old where you lose your joy of life, just the kind that lets you grow out of things
11:40 pm
stidmama

well, I was pretty happy to get a lot done in the house this weekend. Once the tile is done (as far as we have tile) I will grout this evening around the area where the plumber needs to install things tomorrow or Tuesday. Then we can go home and I can sleep in a little tomorrow because I don't have to be at school until 10.
11:41 pm
Bugsaw

I loved the floor in your shower. lots of pretty colours
11:42 pm
stidmama

:-) Will take pics tomorrow afternoon, I have been too busy this weekend when I was feeling well, and not feeling well enough now to stand up.
11:42 pm
stidmama

how about your place? anything new and exciting? the deer still trimming trees for you?
11:44 pm
Bugsaw

there were 5 in the back yard the other day. Did I tell you I have to have my foot operated on again to take all the metal out? Apparently I am allergic to it and that is why it won't heel
11:44 pm
Bugsaw

heal I mean
11:45 pm
stidmama

oh no! when is that going to happen? I am so sorry -- not good that you are allergic, but glad they figured it out
11:46 pm
Bugsaw

I am glad they figured it out too. It took the surgeon one look at the size of it and he knew. I am still waiting for a date. it means starting all over again with no weight bearing etc.... just not for as long
11:52 pm
Bugsaw

11:57 pm
stidmama

Just realized I never made it in to the school this weekend to pick up work my students turned in on Friday...
11:57 pm
stidmama

oh well. It will be "okay" if I don't manage to get things perfect a couple of times. :-D
11:58 pm
