good morning all
3:31 am

hey rose *hugs* :) How was your day?
3:32 am
grannyrose

oops....i nearly missed her. {{hugs}} my dearest sprite. was just about to make a dash away. xxxx
3:32 am
sprite

lol if you have to go, you have to go, sweetie.
3:35 am
grannyrose

whew!! the dash became imperative. lovely day. church this morning, then a afternoon in front of the tv watching the motorcycle racing on phillip island.
3:35 am
sprite

ah, sounds like the perfect day for you
3:35 am
grannyrose

i was screaming at the tv, and don said, i don't think he can hear you, dear.
3:36 am
sprite

awwww LOL, and you said, not for lack of trying on my part.
3:37 am
grannyrose

i said i'm sure he can FEEL what i am saying. most of the crowd was probably saying the same thing....lol
3:37 am
sprite

lol
3:37 am
grannyrose

and your yesterday and night? how were they hun?
3:39 am
sprite

struggling, rose. Pain, pain, pain. Tired as hell from the pain. And trouble sleeping, of course. But otherwise ok :)
3:39 am
grannyrose

oh, before i forget. i am pretty certain i will be home tomorrow when you log in. we are going out all day with a group of people from church. we are visiting a zoo on the other side of town, about 2 1/2 hours drive. it is an open ranges zoo, attached to an historic mansion and rose garden.
3:40 am
sprite

sounds lovely! Looking forward to it?
3:40 am
grannyrose

*gentle cuddle* kisses away the bad thoughts. and sternly instructs sprite's body to BEHAVE....right now, missus, right now.
3:41 am
sprite

and you listen to our rose, you hear! Or else!
3:41 am
grannyrose

yes we are. don and i don't usually participate in the sort of excursion. but we thought, what the heck? why not?
3:42 am
sprite

exactly, why not? You already know the company will be good, and open ranges zooz are fun (the only ones I will ever visit) and doing something new is healthy.
3:44 am
grannyrose

oh, dear, don has just nuked a jar of crystallised honey...it is now bubbling. do i have anything to worry about?....roflol
3:45 am
sprite

lol, men... a few secs will do!
3:45 am
grannyrose

sprite, has your doctor ever given you endone or oxycodone for your pain?
3:47 am
sprite

yes sweetie. I have been on oxycodone for years and years. Neurosurgeon put me on gabapentine instead, but it isn't cutting it. Gonna try this Lyrica now.
3:48 am
grannyrose

aaahhh! good!! how much lyrica are you up to now?
3:48 am
sprite

150mg 2 times a day now. Must stay at this dose for at least a week now.
3:50 am
grannyrose

well, i'm pleased you have an alternative. have you told your doctor how my doctor is going to treat my pain? i.e. with a ketamine infusion, with an hospital admission of a week?
3:50 am
sprite

still happy as a clam that I don't have to take the oxycodone anymore, to be honest. I could feel deep inside it wasn't good for me. Even though it numbed most of my pain, it numbed everything else too.
3:51 am
sprite

no, not yet, will do that next time I see her. I'll ask her to check it out. Could you please send me the link to your doctor again?
3:52 am
grannyrose

oh, i didn't do that....did i? dumb, dumb, dodo, diddly dodo, dumb, dumb.
3:52 am

you are not dumb at all. And it is not like you don't have anything else on your mind, lol.

4:46 am
rubyfoo

I used to do a lot of Indian cooking, but it's too much work now. While you're here, thugh, I'll make a couscous royale
4:47 am

8:13 am
crosshair

My beloved once had hair down to the backs of her knees, but it took over her life; half a bottle of shampoo and conditioner each time, a full day to dry, and it was giving her neck pain. Now she keeps it shoulder length and is content;)

8:15 am
phaeton

Yes, I'm basically good with it. I guess it's just my own personal feeling that often marriage is so difficult. Mine was a nightmare. But she's not me and I realize that.

Yum, ruru!! Sounds great to me, too....don't have that option, though...sigh.

yum, pen!
9:57 am

MimiCat

Slow learner, hego?
9:57 am

Yes, Ru, I did miss that one, sorry.

9:59 am
MimiCat

Kidding, hego....if you're willing to take the chance and are happy with it, that's all that's important. I'm not that brave.
9:59 am
hego

Wait! they can't sell crab?
9:59 am
rururocks

Widowed twice?
9:59 am
penquis

they don't have a license for that...

10:00 am
rururocks

Whew. Was a bit worried for Bill :D
10:00 am

10:01 am
rururocks

I am not planning to get married again
10:02 am
pippingeek

mimi have you seen the recent color photos of the addams family sets that show how delightfully colorful and pastel they were?
10:02 am
hego

Some things, you don't plan, they just happen.
10:02 am
pippingeek

it's really quite charming and so counterintuitive from what we all would have imagined
10:02 am
MimiCat

When I was first divorced I only dated men who lived out of town because I knew they had to leave.
10:02 am
rururocks

I may put on some trainer wheels though
10:03 am
hego

10:03 am

10:03 am
pippingeek

i am talking to a fellow right now through an online service (we haven't met yet) but if this doesn't pan out, i'm giving up until i move to chicago, it is too damn hard to date in new york

pippingeek

oh hego, it is the worst unword ever
10:04 am
hego

geek wants a change of venue.
10:04 am
MimiCat

Ruru, to me people ruin a really good relationship by getting married. Why not just live separately and come together on a monogamous basis and keep all the fun with none of the headaches?
10:04 am
hego

Uh, oh
10:04 am
pippingeek

eq - vowel -- game, ***, match -- vowel

Maybe mimi..that sounds smarter..not sure about the monogamus part :D
10:06 am
hego

bad ruru!
10:06 am

It would have to be monogamous for me in order to have trust and real intimacy.
10:06 am

10:07 am
pippingeek

i mean, you pick the rules you want in your relationship, but you both have to agree on what those rules are and stick to them
10:08 am
hego

or what pen said
10:08 am
rururocks

Was hoping dating and sex would be fulfilling :D
10:08 am
MimiCat

Of course, it's all academic for me since the chances of me entering into another relationship are slim to none.
10:08 am
MimiCat

Hey, if that's what you want at this point, ruru, go for it! It's probably better to keep things simple and not involved for awhile after a divorce.
10:09 am
hego

could be
10:09 am

Hey you know what Mimi? You can lead a very happy life without a man in it.

Hi Judi
10:10 am

Read back in chat. I thought Ruru was only having a relationship with his car right now.
10:10 am
rururocks

That's why you flag is at half mast scrabs?
10:10 am
MLFAN17

hi judi
10:10 am
hego

My problem is that I never lived alone in my life and I find it too lonely.
10:10 am
MimiCat

Even though my marriage was awful, I feel lucky to have had many truly wonderful men in my life.
10:11 am
MimiCat

I LOVE living alone, hego...really thrive on it.
10:11 am
hego

Can't do it.
10:11 am
rururocks

Mimi is sounding like jennifer lopez now
10:11 am
Scrabbler

I think about finding a boyfriend, but I don't want my wonderful life to get messed up.
10:12 am
hego

she's very liberated.
10:12 am
Scrabbler

Me too, Mimi. I require much solitude.
10:12 am
MimiCat

You don't even know the half of it, ruru....you'll have to read the book...if I ever get it finished!
10:12 am
hego

Scrabbler you are perfect as you are.
10:12 am
pippingeek

that's my one sadness about moving to chicago if i get into this school -
10:13 am
hego

I also require solitude, but that can happen in a relationship.
10:13 am
pippingeek

there's really only one neighborhood with one bedroom apartments, and it's 40 minutes away from school, and i love living alone
10:13 am
MollyL

People with independent natures often have a hard time sharing living space with someone.
10:13 am
Scrabbler

I have a wonderful life without a man.
10:13 am
MimiCat

You're right there, hego....I was never more alone than when I was married...probably not what you mean.
10:13 am
hego

We both have our own interests and separate things we like todo.
10:13 am
hego

You do Scrabs, I know that.
10:14 am

To each his/her own. We each have our journey.
10:16 am

10:16 am

10:31 am
MimiCat

Know how you can tell if someone has a blonde secretary? The white out on the computer screen.
10:31 am
pippingeek

zoozzoom, it's a US think that's somewhere between a supervisory nurse and a doctor, so you work mainly autonomously, but there is still an attending physician who technically signs off on your work at the end of the day or week or what have you
10:32 am
pippingeek

thing, not think
10:33 am
rururocks

Lol mimi
10:33 am

Sounds like a good rewarding job to have then, Pippingeek!
10:34 am

10:34 am
hego

It is a good job and in high demand.
10:35 am
pippingeek

it's pretty great, zooz, plus the pay is excellent and the program only takes 2.5 years to complete once you get in. lots of bang for your buck
10:35 am

10:36 am

10:37 am

Must take a break. Getting dizzy. HAGD All.
10:37 am

Wow. I didn't think a frog could eat a crayfish. I thought they only ate bugs.
10:38 am
pippingeek

my bio teacher was very impressed with my dissection skills
10:38 am
pippingeek

these were excessively large frogs, especially the females
10:38 am
pippingeek

10:38 am

Eating frog caviar? I would rather croak

Earn money is the same as WA4 not sure why that is so confusing.

honey you can't let babble be a place that makes you feel bad, some days it just doesn't work for you, but it's a game we play to unwind and exercise the brain and chat with people who love you, so if you remember that part you always walk away feeling good

2:54 pm

No kje, that's awful.

rururocks

yeah.. and I never had sex until I was 50
2:55 pm
hego

Now if you believe that....
2:55 pm
Dorens

tipsy is fun. problem is when you don't know enough to stop, and want the feeling to continue, and don't realize that drinking more will actually be problematic.
2:55 pm
Dorens

haven't made that mistake in a very very long time
2:55 pm

4:41 pm
MollyL

There is something about Kentucky Fried Chicken in Ireland that makes me laugh.
4:41 pm
MollyL

And quit food shaming yourself.
4:42 pm
Soodle

I didn't laugh, Molls. I slobbered. I drooled. I enjoyed every morsel.
4:43 pm
MollyL

Good. You are supposed to enjoy your food. Not feel guilty about eating it.
4:43 pm
Soodle

I even finger-licked!!!!
4:43 pm
crosshair

KFC has fallen in quality from what it used to be here years ago. the cost is also astronomical when feeding 4 people. for the cost of it now you could fill your fridge with a weeks groceries!
4:45 pm
MollyL

That's too bad. Here, KFC is still the best fried chicken there is. I agree about the cost though.
4:45 pm
crosshair

I think they try to use the grease too often and are not careful in letting it get up to the proper temperature:(
4:47 pm
Soodle

Fingers in ears, singing 'ya ya ya'. Sometimes , Crossy, it's nice to say 'To heck with the cost'. Sometimes a calorie laden, greasy, fast-food meal is what a person needs!
4:47 pm

We had roast chicken for dinner tonight. There is something about a chicken roasting in the oven that is very homey.

Our KFC is not quite that expensive. No way I could buy a weeks worth of groceries for what I pay at KFC.

for 4 people, to have a good feed of KFC with all the trimming here, it would be $50.00, easy

zoozzoom

My dentist say they will make me a teeth gaurd for me.But it will be £230 for one.
5:08 pm
Soodle

Bite guard = dentist = phobia, Molls. I'll take me chances without it.
5:08 pm
zoozzoom

Hahaha I did notice that, Molly. I did not say anything though..LOL Glad you knew :-)
5:08 pm
MollyL

They are expensive Zoom, but well worth the money. Otherwise you are going to end up grinding your teeth to little nubs.
5:09 pm
MollyL

Soodle, getting fitted for a bite guard does not involve drills or needles. You just have to bite down into a mold so they can fit it to your teeth.
5:11 pm
zoozzoom

Yes I think the next time i go.I will ask them to make me one. Better than grinding my teeth and biting the inside of my mouth to bits.
5:11 pm
ChrissieDee

Ah, that explains Judi's comment earlier about buying some lovely leather boots. I thought she was just sharing a bargain purchase
5:11 pm

On Thursday I decided to scale the bed and get something on the top of a wardrobe. On grabbing said item - a Hannah Montane back stage pass book - I decided to jump off the bed, landed with a bang and tipped forward into another wardrobe head first. I grabbed a stepladder to break my fall - yes I do know this stupid cow should have used that before climbing on the bed. In the process i tore the muscle in the right arm and then hit the wardrobe with the whole top of my head.

5:55 pm

My head survived but my arm is still hurting. Then Friday after shopping for some fireworks I was toting the two cups of tea back to the car. I can't recall what happened but the lid came off the tea and scalded my left hand and wrist. the pain was awful so i dropped the milk and the other cup so scalding my left leg. There I was in the centre of a superstore carpark trying to get my husband to notice that his wife was standing 20 yards behind him, dripping tea and crying. he got me some water from the nearby garage and it wasn't until I had run one bottle over the hand and wrist that I noticed it was fruit shoot hydro backcurrant flavour so I was now sticky as well as blistered. the blisters have grown and I am going to the doc's tomorrow as I think it might be the vertigo thing as I feel so off centre. The blister is huge and very painful and the back of my left hand is a bright red.
5:56 pm

As you say I am not safe to be let out. Night soodle sleep well.

gtg, simpsons is on. happy babbling. well it is a touch, and in the adirondacks I think a tad

... where crossy is yes ... it'll melt during the day ... but there is a special wind condition that he's subject to which will get him a lot of snow ...
7:00 pm
Lizlin

Couldn't live there! Snow in London was bad enough to bring the place to a grinding halt! That was enough for me. Will avoid going back to London in the winter if I can help it!!!
7:01 pm
Lizlin

Time for me to go - enjoy your evenings all :)
7:01 pm
doseffing

... if it's cold enough the wind will blow across the warm lake all seventy miles of it then when it hits the cold land, i.e. in Collingwood where crossy live, it will dump it as snow if the temperature is right
7:03 pm
doseffing

... heavens ... most Canadians wouldn't bother putting on boots for all the snow in London ... ... but I know just a bit can mess up the roads completely
7:04 pm
Lizlin

LOL! I couldn't get my car up my road on occasions - and it wasn't a very steep hill at all. On the good side, the London Underground was outside where I lived, so the trains didn't run either. Couldn't get into work!!! OK Really am going now!
7:04 pm
doseffing

... may you have another snow day real soon
7:08 pm
MollyL

Wow, you people up north really get off on snow, don't you?
7:09 pm
doseffing

... I probably won't see more than a few flurries until Janauary
7:10 pm
doseffing

until January ... ... but Crossy's town survives by selling ski hill time ... ... they need snow by December or people have small Christmas dinners
