We had a lovely Christmas period together. It was quite some wrench to have to go back to my "bachelor pad", all alone, but I stop here a couple nights a week and we have cuddles and the like. It's nice to try and woo somebody again, but it shouldn't have had to be like that, if I wasn't such a pranny in the first place!
4:08 am

don has bought me a chair wedge. it allows me to sit with a slightly altered posture which is more comfortable. i can now sit in the car without dissolving into tears because of the pain in my hips.
4:24 am
zoozzoom

So what position does it make you have then a more forward one?
4:26 am
zoozzoom

Just googled them so I know what they look like.
4:27 am
grannyrose

it lifts my butt so that the angle of my hips is less acute, and causes me sit with a straighter back. the wide edge of the wedge is at the back of the chair/seat.
4:29 am

As log as it helps is all that matters.

zooz, i will probably need this for the rest of my life. if/when i have hip surgery, i will no longer be allowed to flex my hips past 90 degrees.
4:32 am

Just looked at the who's online and he is still logged in.

We all need types of aids as we get older, Rose.It is the way it goes.As long as it helps.
4:33 am

ugh....but i don't wanna get older....i'm a coward.
4:34 am
zoozzoom

I think most of us do not want to get old, Rose...lol But if there is nothing at all you can do about it..then let it go and try and enjoy the journey.
4:35 am

Happy New Year, lbd.

What made your's so busy, Rose?
5:41 am
grannyrose

church, lunch with youngest son and wife, then a 3 year-old's birthday party. long day.
5:41 am
Lizlin

Claudia's b'day?
5:41 am
Lizlin

Lunch sounds lovely. Did you go somewhere nice?
5:42 am
grannyrose

grace's birthday...my niece. claudia is in april...
5:42 am
Lizlin

Ah! Couldn't remember how old Claudia was either - older than 3 I think.
5:43 am
grannyrose

we went to a local tavern. i had grilled chicken breast with prawns in a cream garlic sauce, rice, chips and salad.
5:43 am
Lizlin

But how lovely anyway.
5:43 am
Lizlin

Yum - sounds really indulgent.
5:43 am
grannyrose

claudia will be 5 this year, and deacon 7...where, oh, where have the years gone?
5:43 am
Lizlin

Anything with garlic is good in my opinion!
5:44 am
Lizlin

Wow! Time has flown.
5:44 am
Lizlin

Is Grace an only child or does she have sibs?
5:44 am
grannyrose

my son who is 33 is of the same generation as my niece. it is lovely to watch them all interact.
5:45 am
Lizlin

Amazing. Such an age difference in the generation but like you say, great to see the interactions.
5:45 am
grannyrose

grace is probably going to be an only...it took a lot of effort for her parents to conceive her...but she is an absolute doll.
5:46 am
Lizlin

Much adored, I'm sure.
5:46 am
Lizlin

My family is really small compared to yours!
5:46 am
grannyrose

so tr4, liz. a longed for child is invariably spoiled to the nth degree...lol...she is so....female...
5:47 am

That sounds like Claudia too! Another lover of ballet if you have anything to do with it.
5:48 am
grannyrose

liz, hin...start with 5 siblings....it adds up to a lot of people.
5:48 am

As you say - a good starting point!
5:48 am

Stuck with 10 words left.
5:48 am

* giggle* but one of the bro's has gone off the rails.
5:49 am
Lizlin

Likely to get back on again???
5:49 am
grannyrose

a thai woman has got her claws into him...we are quite worried for him.
5:50 am
Lizlin

Ah! Thai brides - though that usually comes from the perspective of lonely men.
5:50 am
grannyrose

he has bought her a new motorcycle, a very expensive watch and paid for her mother's treatment in a hospital. plus he is staying in an area which is very notorious.
5:51 am
Lizlin

Hmmmmmm! Can understand your worry - fleecing him.
5:52 am
Lizlin

Have 2 x ge 7 but wouldn't mind a hint or two for the other 2 7s, please.
5:52 am
grannyrose

all the other bro's and spouses are of the same opinion..as the matriarch of the clan....i may have to tell him to pull his horns in and keep it in his pants. not looking forward to that, i can assure you.
5:53 am
grannyrose

But in the end, as an adult, he'll do what he wants. If you're close to him, how would he respond to being told that.
5:54 am
Lizlin

A little bit more pls - I listed at about 15 left.
5:55 am

not sure, liz. like all my other bros, he knows how i have protected them all. hopefully he will listen to what i have to say, and accept that my concerns are ge7.

He is 16 and he has been on prednisone for intestinal problems.

Worried also since it's the weekend, I can't afford to take him to emergency care. I have to wait until tomorrow
6:26 am
sukee

I have been preparing myself for a couple of month but was so worried yesterday I couldn't even do any writing.
6:27 am

will he eat special treats like plain tuna or morsels of boiled chicken? maybe a little milk or cream?
6:27 am

He won't eat anything.
6:28 am

That is so sad.
6:28 am

6:32 am

I find the supplement milk very handy when our cats are not well.
6:34 am
crosshair

because the cat will get dehydrated very quickly.
6:35 am
sukee

I have syringes for his medicine and I've been trying to get some water into him that way.
6:36 am
crosshair

Oh, yes, subdermal hydration is better if you know how to inject fluids just under the skin on the back tween the shoulder blades, but I leave that type of hydration for the vet
6:36 am
rubyfoo

I feel very sad for you sukee' I know how hard that must be
6:37 am

But give the cat milk a try. Like you say, you can do nothing else till Monday anyways
6:39 am

i believe friskies makes it. it is in a purple tetra-pack.

Shakespeare just had melodious language to work with. Grind it all through No fear Sakespeare on Sparknotes, and his works are as dull as tepid dishwater for the most part:)
