2:58 am
grannyrose

lol....yesssss!! she has promised to email and let us know what has happened but she certainly sounded a little more upbeat.
2:58 am
sprite

I woke up to a bright white world, then found my daughter frustrated... she was going to be late for school because our Terra had been a pest during the walk... wouldn't listen. So I took her by car, I think she just made it.
2:58 am
sprite

I read what she wrote, rose, and I am so relieved to see she is on the up now.
2:59 am
sprite

such a dark place to be, the post op pain and healing
2:59 am

hehehe yes I think so too. Cyber bullies and other vicious elements excluded ;)
3:00 am
sprite

how are you doing with those last 9, flosey?
3:02 am
sprite

lol we almost have 3 wind directions in this grid.
3:04 am
flosey

3:05 am
flosey

she got the Condo she wanted
3:05 am
grannyrose

3:05 am
sprite

always rather intense times, buying new property. Glad she got the one she wanted.
3:05 am
flosey

ty both, and now she'll have room for us to visit!!
3:05 am
grannyrose

we checked out the new corolla sports car today. only one word...WOW!!!!
3:06 am
sprite

that is even better, flosey :)
3:06 am
flosey

interesting, are you in the market rose?
3:06 am
sprite

lol... ok rose!
3:07 am
grannyrose

yes, flosey. we have decided it is no longer necessary to have two cars.
3:08 am
sprite

makes sense. Can you drive it?
3:08 am
grannyrose

we are trying to find a nice in between one. my little yaris is great around town, and don's holden is great on our driving holidays
3:09 am
grannyrose

well i can see the road from the driver's se4. i am thinking that is a plus.
3:10 am
sprite

yeah that in itself has its benefits. And how is your leg doing when you sit in it?
3:12 am
grannyrose

all good. pedals are ea4 to reach, very light, front wheel drive, the hatch opens to a quite large cargo area with the back se4s down. and don can get in and out without hitting his he4.
3:12 am
grannyrose

oh, and we are going for an automatic too.
3:12 am
sprite

sold! No sir, no need to wrap it for us, we will take it as is...
3:13 am
flosey

lol, just drive it out of the showroom
3:13 am
sprite

oh, automatic is good in your case! Very relaxed driving. Are you used to it?
3:13 am
grannyrose

and the colour....like a metallic burnt orange.
3:13 am
sprite

hehehe, snap, flosey
3:13 am
sprite

oh, an autumn colour. I love it.
3:17 am

3:21 am

*giggles* yeah right, but he takes up most of your attention. A whole lotta good it does me, that love ;)
3:23 am
grannyrose

you complaining??? Fry doesn't get emails from me, or christmas cards, or flowers...
3:23 am
sprite

hmmmm ok then, ok then.... :P
3:23 am

3:24 am

btw, I would be distracted too. I love that show. The panel is as bad as he is. Such irreverent fun.
3:25 am
grannyrose

good heavens, the paris/dakar car rally is actually held in south america.
3:25 am
sprite

lol who'd have guessed
3:27 am
sprite

I had such weird dreams last night. I dreamt of my ex boyfriend again... who was telling me I was the only one who ever saw through him and he was ever so sorry I left him... so weird.
3:27 am
grannyrose

are you enjoying the grid? i was amazed how ea4 it was.
3:28 am
sprite

over halfway in half an hour... yeah, pretty ok. Fun words so far.
3:29 am
grannyrose

and for once i remembered to plural....*giggles*
3:29 am
sprite

yeah. Am also trying to 'comparative' everything, but no joy there.
3:31 am
grannyrose

there are a couple. one is actually someone who does something.
3:31 am
grannyrose

ahem, that should re4 three
3:31 am
sprite

ok, at least not a total waste of a good ending then. But not delivering on its promise either. Did you see my dream post?
3:32 am
grannyrose

yeah, weird thing but i sometimes dream of my ex...and not always nice dreams.
3:33 am
sprite

every now and then I have a kind of dream like this. Used to be he would call me within a week from it. Nowadays he does not have my phone number though, so no way to check.
3:35 am
grannyrose

might be better that way, sprite. maybe it is saying time to let go and concentrate on now.
3:36 am
sprite

I have. I am so much better off without him, sweetie. And Rob is totally different from him, in every good way. It was he who couldn't let go. Turning back to me every time a relationship shipwrecked for him.
3:38 am
grannyrose

good grief, sort of the same here. my ex never let me go, even kept calling his next wife by my name all the time. she was forever going off in a huff.
3:41 am
sprite

lol exactly the same thing with him. We took him out for dinner the last time I saw him, giving him a good view of our happy marriage apparently. He didn't suggest we get back together that time, anyway. Lots of drama followed, between him and a mutual friend of ours, he being in love and she feeling stalked by him. After that he disappeared again. And some time after that we changed phone companies and got a new number... which I couldn't give to him, because he had disappeared... and now he has no real way to reach me. I don't mind.
3:42 am
sprite

(note my smart tactic to get you focused on the chog in st5 of the telly)
3:42 am
grannyrose

who says i'm not watching the telly?
3:43 am
sprite

you are concentratedly reading my long post
3:45 am
grannyrose

my ex DIL told me that as he was dying, he constantly asked for me, but she never told me until after his death. unfortunately he told no-one else and so my eldest assumed i was unwanted at his father's funeral. all totally wrong of course.
3:46 am
sprite

*sigh* those good-for-nothing guys, huh... we can't help loving them. They need love so bady. But man it is so unhealty to love them too much.
3:47 am
grannyrose

i hear you sprite
3:48 am
sprite

*hugs*
3:53 am
grannyrose

i got all those things done today. don loves his new piece of jewelry. and boy, did we splash out at lunch!! hot roast beef and gravy sandwiches on fresh white bread. man, it was amazing.
3:53 am
sprite

oh how wonderful, rose! Am so glad you had a good day. You were definitely due one.
3:53 am
grannyrose

thanx dearest.
3:55 am
grannyrose

i had a nana nap this afternoon when the pain meds kicked in.
3:56 am
sprite

and how is the ole body now? Pain bearable? No cramps in lower back?
3:57 am
grannyrose

not at the moment, thank heavens! and you?
3:59 am
grannyrose

i didn't need the magnesium at 2pm. i had it on hand, just didn't need it.
4:00 am
sprite

I am ok. Had a weird start of my day, had to drop caya off at school even before I took my meds. So a bit bumpy at first, but meds are kicking in and it will be alright.
4:00 am
sprite

awesome, that you didn't need the magnesium! Good sign.
4:02 am
grannyrose

the trick is to do everything in small stages. and the driving wasn't too bad today. don not braking too hard. he must have been concentrating more than usual.
4:03 am
sprite

good man. Yes, the small stages. Same here. Baby steps, if we can manage to remember, will get us there. Too bad we are so impatient, lol.
4:04 am
grannyrose

so the car dealer visit was an extra and i managed it okay.
4:09 am
sprite

wonderful. Am really glad. Makes you feel good, doesn't it :)
4:10 am
grannyrose

it does, sweetie. when i manage something extra it is a good day.
4:12 am
sprite

I know that feeling :)
4:14 am
grannyrose

if i could i would be dancing with joy. well i am in my heart.
4:16 am
sprite

better only in your heart than only with your body, sweetie
4:17 am

lolol
4:19 am

So many mothers say, "I don't believe in vaccines." Or, "I don't trust the vaccines." Uh, vaccines save lives. Reflect on pre-vaccine childhood mortality.
9:26 am

Another line: "He is too young/small to get the vaccines now." Uh, your child is at high-risk NOW, why wait??

My grandma lost her first 2 babies to diphteria.
9:28 am
Scrabbler

I like to walk around old cemeteries. I note the number of kids that parents had, and see how many made it to adulthood. Clusters of siblings died within days or weeks. Probably measles, meningitis, pneumonia.

So sad.

Mr. Bich was born in post-war Germany. The hospital didn't even have a roof. He had whooping cough and diptheria. Luckily he survived

Yes he is, bichon

Amazing that he survived.

whooping cough can be deadly to infants.

It is amazing he survived. I don't know if they even had antibiotics
9:33 am

I don't think they were available for general use yet.

Early intervention--multiple therapies--from birth can help these kids achieve more than previously expected.

this is why community immunity is so important, I can't believe we're sliding backwards because of fear and ignorance
9:45 am
josephjames

community immunity is a nice rhyme - maybe you could make it into a vaccination campaign slogan
9:45 am
hego

When I was a vaccine nurse I used to stress the effect of the unvaccinated on the rest of the population. This is more than just a personal decision.
9:46 am

I think they're purposefully moving away from the term "herd immunity" because some parents (aka: idiots) didn't respond well to it
9:47 am
Scrabbler

One of my anti-vaccine mothers, in my practice, told me, "As long as 85% of the community vaccinates I feel that my kids are safe." Argh.

Erda

Help for di8 please?
9:48 am
josephjames

Larry Wilmore has the new show replacing the Colbert Report and he did one on vaccines, and gave a voice to an anti-vaxxer. I felt like that was really irresponsible.
9:48 am
Erda

second one, that it
9:48 am
bichon

If there was an Ebola vaccine and it spread in the US, I bet all these antivaxers would be lining up
9:48 am
hego

that could turn into a di8.
9:48 am
Shirlockc

what happens when no one immunizes = di8
9:48 am
Scrabbler

I do not have the first di8. The second is a naural di8, such as a hurricane.

Oh

Poor Shirlock.

it gives them the illusion of control to decide not to do what most people are doing.

Arrogance of the privileged. This couldn't happen to me.

if it wasn't for the danger to the public and the poor kids themselves, i'd say serves them right to see their kids suffer

At the restaurant, I met a 'girl' I used to go to school with. Girl in inverted commas, because she is mid-fifties, like me. But we took a trip down memory lane, and ended up nearly getting thrown out of the restaurant for laughing so raucously. It was an totally unexpected bonus to the whole lunch with my Dad.

a gentle wind is wafting off the bay at what seems like 1000 miles an hour and is bringing the wind chill down to minus 25 or so;)
6:03 pm

That sounds very cold, but perhaps you hardy guys are used to it.
6:04 pm

We make a lot of noise about it, but we also pride ourselves on being able to play out in it when it is minus 30 or better;)

Crossy, glad to see you are enjoying your winter wonderland!!

If you're properly dressed, I'm sure it's fun. The problem with snow in the UK, is that it's either slushy or icy!

Hi stidg.

No ski jumping for crossy. Imagine a polar bear trying to ski and you get a picture of me on skis
