1:29 am

nice
1:29 am
VolleymomDee

How are you feeling, rose?
1:30 am
grannyrose

not too bad. went to physio who worked on my lower back. a bit tender when i came home, but seems good now.
1:30 am
grannyrose

and how are you going? have the injections and therapy helped you?
1:30 am
VolleymomDee

Excellent!
1:31 am
VolleymomDee

Hanging in there. Having some times of less pain, so the therapy must have helped some.
1:31 am
VolleymomDee

Hey, I forgot to ask the other day, what kind of surgery did pug have?
1:32 am
grannyrose

so pleased, dee. may you continue to improve, dear
1:32 am
grannyrose

repair of a ventral hernia.
1:32 am
VolleymomDee

How is she doing?
1:33 am
grannyrose

better now, at least that is what she said yesterday. i have emailed her. waiting for a reply.
1:34 am
VolleymomDee

Bet she is glad the surgery is over with. Flosey, didn't you have a daughter or daughter-in-law who had surgery?
1:34 am
VolleymomDee

ca 7
1:37 am
flosey

yes Dee, daughter had c. tumor on her brain removed followed by proton therapy (not done in Canada) so had to go to Seattle for that
1:38 am
VolleymomDee

How is she doing?
1:38 am
flosey

fortunately, they have friends there and was able to stay with them (and help with a new baby)
1:39 am
flosey

she has been fine throughout, back home now, repeat MRI every 6 months for a while just to be sure
1:39 am
VolleymomDee

Wow! Lots of stress on her physically, emotionally, and mentally ... That is a lot to deal with.
1:41 am
VolleymomDee

Bet that was tough on you and your hubby, too.
1:41 am
flosey

but hubby was enormous support - he, 5 yr old son went with her throughout all interviews appts. etc - amazing how much a 5 year old can take in -and being kept 'in the loop' he understood why Mommie had ot be away throughout the treatments
1:42 am
flosey

of course it was stressful but had every reason to believe she'd come through fine - she was even able to drive home weekends
1:42 am
VolleymomDee

That was wise... not sure what I would have done... my generation tends to keep those things secret.
1:42 am
VolleymomDee

Really amazing.
1:43 am
flosey

I remember how much I resented not understanding when my mom was ill on a couple of occasions - everything was hush hush and really bothered me
1:44 am
flosey

it's amazing how much kids can understand
1:44 am
VolleymomDee

That same situation happened to me when I was in 5th grade... "secrecy" wasn't total, and I heard just enough to scare me to death...my mom tried to do the same thing when I was in my 30's and she had cancer... I found out by accident...
1:45 am
flosey

oh Dee, how horrible to find out that way
1:46 am
flosey

and she really needed your support too
1:46 am
VolleymomDee

She just thought that all things health were private...she didn't realize how supportive we could be
1:46 am
flosey

so true, my mom was much the same
1:46 am
VolleymomDee

We also lived 2,000 miles apart, so she didn't want to "worry" us...
1:47 am
VolleymomDee

That is how they were taught...
1:47 am
flosey

yes
1:47 am
flosey

Mom's parents never lived far from us
1:47 am
Lizlin

Hi again - so happy that your daughter is doing well, Flosey.
1:48 am
VolleymomDee

Funny how times have changed.
1:48 am
VolleymomDee

re-hi, liz!!
1:48 am
grannyrose

1:48 am
Lizlin

:)
1:48 am
Lizlin

Hi and hugs to you all
1:48 am
flosey

thanks Liz - and her (kept black) hair is now coming in gray and gives her a much softer look
1:49 am
Lizlin

Does she agree?
1:49 am
flosey

yes - is quite happy to do away with the blacko!
1:49 am
flosey

kept it that way because she wore it long
1:50 am
Lizlin

:)
1:50 am
VolleymomDee

Hair stylists don't know how to color hair properly anymore...
1:50 am
flosey

isn't that strange!
1:51 am
Lizlin

What makes you say that?
1:51 am
VolleymomDee

Colors are way too stark
1:51 am
flosey

my other daughter coloured it for her
1:51 am
Lizlin

I'm happy with the way my hair is coloured - less happy with the cut!
1:52 am
VolleymomDee

I am now, Liz, but it took me a very long time to find someone good. I drive 2 hours because she is so good with color.
1:52 am
Lizlin

This is a relatively new stylist for me - hope she'll learn my hair if I stay with her. My more regular stylist went to the UK for a while - sick father - she cut well but coloured less well!
1:52 am
flosey

mine is all white!
1:53 am
Lizlin

Mine's probably a good shade of silver!
1:53 am
VolleymomDee

Yours is beautiful, flosey.
1:53 am
Lizlin

True - I still love that pic of you, Crossy and Joso.
1:53 am
grannyrose

i'm being honest. have left it uncoloured since just after we were married. i coloured it pink for breast cancer day, and shaved it all off on the day, with people sponsoring me in order to raise funds for breast cancer research.
1:53 am
flosey

ah, wondered where you'd seen it!
1:53 am
VolleymomDee

I am still in the soft blonde phase. I didn't want to have white hair yet or platinum or yellow...
1:54 am
VolleymomDee

Wow, rose, that was brave!
1:54 am
flosey

wow, wtg Rose
1:54 am
Lizlin

I've coloured my hair since my early 20s - just haven't stopped.
1:54 am
Lizlin

Amazing thing to do, Rose.
1:54 am
VolleymomDee

ditto that, liz
1:55 am
grannyrose

it was very liberating dee. have you ever walked in the rain with such short hair. the feeling on your scalp is amazing.
1:55 am
VolleymomDee

That would probably be liberating. I have always had a major fear of going bald... doing it by choice ... wow
1:56 am
flosey

I coloured mine in my 50's + for a while, then gave up
1:56 am
Lizlin

I started with highlights and it developed from there.
1:56 am
flosey

went white young
1:57 am
flosey

as did my Mom
1:57 am
VolleymomDee

funny how that is definitely genetic - when you turn white...
1:58 am
flosey

yes, mom coloured hers for a long time
1:58 am
grannyrose

my hair went white in the front very early too, like about 35. coloured for years. at the back i am a rather boring grey.
1:58 am
Lizlin

Started going grey in 30s - sped up drastically mid-30s when my mum got ill and died.
1:59 am
rururocks

<--not a lot of gray hair
1:59 am
flosey

did your mom go white early, Liz?
1:59 am
VolleymomDee

Interesting.. stress definitely affects hair. I think at some point, hair stops taking the color.
1:59 am
VolleymomDee

re-hi, ru!
1:59 am
VolleymomDee

fireworks, finally
1:59 am
Lizlin

I think so, Flosey - she coloured her hair too.
1:59 am
flosey

Congrats, Dee.

hi again Ru
2:00 am
rururocks

I do have some gray hair though..
2:01 am
VolleymomDee

I started getting some gray / white around the temples, but have no idea how much would be that color, since I have colored for so long :)
2:01 am
grannyrose

WTG DEE!!!
2:01 am
VolleymomDee

ty, rose
2:01 am
Lizlin

OMG! 2 children struck by lightning on the way with their mum to vote :( Massive but very short storm here an hour ago.
2:02 am
VolleymomDee

oh, no!
2:02 am
grannyrose

watching the news now, liz.
2:03 am
Lizlin

Hubby reading news on computer.
2:03 am
flosey

how horrible!
2:03 am
Lizlin

What an awful thing to happen and apologies for OMG - not something I usually write!
2:04 am
grannyrose

no apologies needed liz
2:04 am
grannyrose

it is such tragic news
2:05 am
Lizlin

I know that really but I actually dislike the OMG acronym!
2:05 am
Lizlin

Totally tragic. Nothing anyone could do.
2:06 am
rururocks

did all three get killed?
2:07 am
Lizlin

Most likely - not sure. Hubby read that they're working to save the kids and that they've been taken to hospital. But the storm was huge.
2:08 am
Lizlin

Must've been a massive charge.
2:08 am
rururocks

very sad then
2:08 am
VolleymomDee

Sure hope they can be saved.
2:08 am
Lizlin

Very sad and quite shocking.
2:09 am
Lizlin

Apparently mum and dad were also struck.
2:09 am
Lizlin

Rose is watching the TV news - perhaps she'll update.
2:10 am

Well, I need to get going. Hoping to bake a bit tomorrow; we are supposed to get 6 - 12 inches of snow in the next 2 days, so we'll see how off the weatherman is :)

forwarded that link to flosey, liz. thanx for that

yup, liz, it opened quite nicely.

So that answers that!

Tragic story and hi, Liz & all :-)

One of those freakish accidents.

g'day zooz

okay...as zooz did. the link in chog has to be copied and pasted into a new window.

2:26 am

I remember there was a football match in Africa and the field got struck with lightening and a lot of the players just fell to the ground.Some needed heart massage and alike.
2:26 am
flosey

thanks Rose, all so sad
2:26 am
zoozzoom

That was a long time ago now though.
2:27 am
zoozzoom

Nice to see you, Liz.
2:28 am
grannyrose

what a freak accident, as liz said. don said there would have been a massive discharge of electricity. so, even if the people had not been touching the shelter at all, the electricity in the air would still have reached them.
2:33 am
zoozzoom

Anyone else here read any of 'Daphne Du Maurier' works?
2:34 am
grannyrose

have read a few.
2:34 am
zoozzoom

I am reading a play called 'September Tide'
2:35 am
zoozzoom

I rather like her style of telling a story so far..although the man in the story is a right pig by the sounds of it.lol
2:35 am
grannyrose

a play??? du maurier wrote plays?? this i have to look into...i have only read books/novels.
2:36 am
zoozzoom

It is called 'September Tide' rose
2:37 am
grannyrose

was it her only play?
2:38 am
zoozzoom

Ahh that I am afraid I do not know, Rose.
2:38 am
grannyrose

looking it up as we speak
2:38 am
zoozzoom

Cool..let me know what you find.
2:41 am
zoozzoom

I found that she wrote three plays, Rose.
2:42 am

ditto zooz, what an interesting site wikipedia is. rebecca, the years between and september tide. must look outfor them.
2:45 am

It is a rather small book.But very well written.
2:46 am

ugh, the asian world cup is on. our team is about to play korea.
2:46 am
zoozzoom

Good luck!
2:46 am

* giggle *
2:48 am
grannyrose

mate, this particular form of football leaves me eye-rollingly bored out of my brain. i'm sorry if that alarms you.
2:50 am
zoozzoom

I am not a football fan, Rose, so your comment made no impact on me what so ever..lol
2:51 am
zoozzoom

In fact I would of rolled my eyes too!
2:51 am
grannyrose

*giggle* we think alike then.
2:53 am
grannyrose

oh gross, don says vietnam police have stopped trucks from china containing 3 tonnes of live cats on their way to vietnamese restaurants. that's a lot of pussy....lol
2:53 am
zoozzoom

Sorry to be a bore but the money the football players get paid here in the UK (some around £175,000 per week) is way over the top whilst people who saves lives as in emergency services and alike get next to peanuts!
2:54 am
zoozzoom

Oh the poor things....Oh, Rose, Can't take you anywhere..lol
2:54 am
flosey

something very wrong about that, I'd say - especially when they're called on to save the life of one of these players!!
2:54 am
grannyrose

*shakes head* same here, zooz. do you know over here a person on an assembly production line gets paid 3 times what the critical care nurse is paid. go figure.
2:56 am
grannyrose

sorry zooz....but you know me...
2:56 am
zoozzoom

Agreed, Flosey & Rose.They can also get beaten up by the drunks on the wards they work at too..So disgusting.
2:56 am
flosey

wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that it might be a very boring job?
2:56 am
zoozzoom

I do, Rose...lol..I do :-)
2:57 am
grannyrose

don says he never knows what is going to come out of my mouth. it amuses him no end.
2:58 am
zoozzoom

Teehee! it is nice to know you two are so made for each other..lol
2:58 am
grannyrose

you are probably right, flosey. but i do think someone who holds a human life in their hands is worth more than someone who screws a bolt onto a screw.
2:59 am
flosey

ah yes, for sure Rose
2:59 am
grannyrose

nope, that's a bolt onto a nut
2:59 am
zoozzoom

hahaha!
2:59 am
zoozzoom

Get it right, Rose..Teehee!
3:00 am
grannyrose

well it is a boy thing....bolts, screws, nuts, domes, wings...they all look the same to me...* collapses giggling uncontrollably *
3:01 am
zoozzoom

Rose knows how to save lives put needles into arms...set up a saline drip. But ask her to put a Bolt onto a nut and she is all fingers & thumbs!
3:02 am
grannyrose

and your point is????
3:02 am
zoozzoom

Keep saving lives :-)
3:03 am
grannyrose

what would you rather have beside you when you are in a recovery room, in pain, vomiting your heart out?
3:03 am
zoozzoom

A nurse to hold my hand and say everything is going to be OK :-)
3:03 am
grannyrose

and did i mention bleeding like a stuck pig? hmmm...just how does a stuck pig bleed??
3:05 am
grannyrose

i wonder if that phrase refers to the slaughter of pigs at an abattoir ?
3:05 am
flosey

so true, zooz
3:05 am
grannyrose

have a degree in hand holding. also hair smoothing and cuddles.
3:06 am
flosey

all so comforting when everything hurts
3:07 am
zoozzoom

To show that you really care about the person you are looking after when they are ill, So helps them to recover more quickly.
3:07 am
grannyrose

* smiling at you * flosey...it is also a requirement that you recognise what is happening to a patient before they know it is happening.
3:08 am
flosey

true, rose, the pain might be here but related to something elsewhere!
3:09 am
zoozzoom

That makes sense, Rose, you would of seen it many many times and know what to expect.The person who is ill probably would be the first time and does not have a clue what is going on.Vital to show confidence and care goes a long way.
3:09 am
zoozzoom

Sorry i am rambling on here.
3:10 am
zoozzoom

Back to the grid.
3:10 am
grannyrose

i had one young buck in his early 20's. woke up extremely agitated, as they do. i stepped up to the side of the bed, cradled his head to my chest and cuddled him, with the reassuring words, it's okay, you are safe. to which he said...gee you have big boobs as he snuggled in. i nearly laughed my head off.
3:10 am
flosey

34 to go and I should get to bed, just after 1: am
3:11 am

I'll be back in the morning to finish up - goodnight Rose and Zooz

Sounds very nice, Rose. Not had any breakfast yet!
3:31 am
grannyrose

yeah, zooz. am thinking fruttata is not a breakfast food......lol...so what's on your agenda for today?
3:34 am
zoozzoom

Drink the rest of my tea whilst I babble for a bit more.Go to my parents and see if they need anything from the shops and tidy around a bit.buy some food..come home..eat when hungry..and then come back to babble.Such an exciting life i have..NOT..lol
3:36 am
grannyrose

hey, it's a life....lol....zooz you are so good to your parents. btw, the father has died, the mother and two kiddies are hanging in there.
3:37 am

Yes they are in a serious way.Not a good outcome really.Very sad.
3:44 am

i think something must be wrong with me...i stepped back years ago. left my three to their own devices. but you are right...i am humming along in the background....lol
3:55 am
sprite

you have to stop parenting at some point, rose, I think you are fine. You don't stop caring, and you keep feeling you are the parent. But they must make their own way, mistakes and solutions and all.
3:55 am
zoozzoom

Stepping back is part of being a parent, Rose..you are doing a great job :-)

My dream is to go to Madrid to see the Prado. Theen I will have been at all the most famous art museums in the world
1:15 pm

It's wonderful Bichon!
1:15 pm

You would not be disappointed.
1:16 pm

1:34 pm
cybernan

IN June: shorts or capri's (2 pair), 1 skirt, walking shoes, sandals that can double for both a lot of walking and as dress shoes, 6 t-shirts or blouses(ncluding one with bling), 1 light jacket and 1 cardigan (to layer), umbrella. That, with socks, undies and toiletries should fit in a 24 -25" suitcase -- all your really want to haul around! The only meals that you really need to have a skirt for is the captain's dinner. Hubby didn't even take a jacket and tie. Just one dress casual outfit for him. It will be really hot in June so don't forget to pack a crushable sun hat or plan to buy a throwaway when you land. Have a wonderful time -- we did the Amsterdam to budapest one and you are doing the best part.

*sigh* so we're sort of in the same doggie-boat. he's still on the royal canin?
1:47 pm
rururocks

yes
1:47 pm
welki

it's so difficult to groom him
1:47 pm
rururocks

and bathing him at least once a week helps too..
1:47 pm
hego

Saw Welki's hubby dropping egg into his food 3 x a week.
1:47 pm
rururocks

I have to do Dylan every Saturday
1:48 pm
hego

and bathing him atleast once a week..
1:48 pm
welki

i've tried sensitive shampoo, tea tree oil shampoo - it's so dry here, i have to make sure i don't overdo it
1:48 pm
hego

I'll stop now.
1:48 pm
rururocks

the fish oil will help him welki
1:48 pm
rururocks

there are medicated shampoos too from the vet that are helpful
1:48 pm
welki

i give it to him 2x a day, hasn't made a difference in the past month
1:49 pm
rururocks

it's a total drag isn't it
1:49 pm
welki

i feel so friggin' bad for him
1:49 pm
rururocks

me too
1:49 pm
welki

he's on the canin venison, right?
1:49 pm
rururocks

I took him off the venison to the hydrolyzed protein
1:50 pm
rururocks

he was throwing up the venison
1:50 pm
welki

kibble or can?
1:50 pm
rururocks

kibble
1:50 pm
welki

that's weird, since the venison is supposed to also be a gastro-formula
1:50 pm
rururocks

yeah.. well.. ya know..
1:51 pm
welki

yep. they defy logic.
1:51 pm
rururocks

I had Dylan on Apoquel which was helping.. but then his immune system crashed and he got a bad viral thing
1:52 pm
rururocks

he was one of two dogs out of Davis on Apoquel who had this bad reaction.. out of thousands of dogs
1:52 pm
welki

i've read about apoquel, my vet hasn't
1:52 pm
welki

hehe - he might have read about it, he hasn't suggested we switch from the vanectyl yet
1:52 pm
rururocks

it's expensive.. but worth a shot..
1:53 pm
rururocks

it knocked back the itchiness by 70%
1:53 pm
welki

i'll give him a call on monday; he's a great vet, i trust him 100%
1:53 pm
rururocks

it takes 6 weeks to be effective
1:54 pm
rururocks

i'm lucky I have fantastic vets
1:55 pm
rururocks

I drive an hour and a half to get to them though
1:55 pm
hego

That's quite a commute.
1:57 pm
rururocks

yep.. but it's worth it
1:58 pm
hego

If it helps, for sure.
1:58 pm
welki

just spoke w/clinic - they stock the canin HP and the tech hasn't heard of apoquel (might not be available up here). my primary vet's gone for the day, but he's got a note on his desk to find out about it - so will speak with him on monday
1:58 pm
welki

i really appreciate the information, ru
1:59 pm
rururocks

sure.. happy to help.. we're in the same boat. I think Dylan is a more serious case though.. he's in the top 1%
1:59 pm
rururocks

it's a constant battle for me
2:00 pm
hego

Dylan is lucky to have you Ru.
2:00 pm

i know he's had a rough go of it, and so have you.
2:00 pm

at one point I thought I was going to freak out.. but it's more under control right now
2:01 pm

Eating lobster, really?
2:12 pm

people for the ethical treatment of animals, I believe.

ty hego
2:17 pm
hego

yw, glad you got that sad clue. :)
2:18 pm

we usually buy it cooked because cooking at home just stinks up the house. Really needs to be cooked outdoors.
2:18 pm
cybernan

*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help
2:19 pm
hego

I usually eat it in restaurants only.
2:19 pm
hego

2:19 pm
hego

WTG!!! Nan!!!
2:20 pm
cybernan

only problem with buying precooked is you have to be careful that it comes from NB or Maine
2:20 pm
penquis

congrats!
2:20 pm
hego

Why?
2:21 pm
penquis

i don't often cook lobster at home, but i eat it often....there is a seafood store here that will cook a batch for a couple dollars....less smell in the kitchen...
2:21 pm
cybernan

I don't think you'd want to eat the stuff that comes from the polluted waters of china or indonesia!
2:21 pm
hego

Nice to live in Maine.
2:22 pm
cybernan

2:22 pm

Maine lobster comes from either new england or new brunswick, i think.....
2:22 pm
penquis

2:22 pm

2:23 pm

hego

Bye Nan.
2:24 pm
penquis

if you ever see a lobster that is smaller than a pound, it's not from Maine either...
2:24 pm
penquis

illegal to catch....
2:24 pm
hego

That would be illegal here.
2:25 pm

Ah, the multi-tasker. So many of them.

Molly, did I tell you about my new Netflix fix? Sons of Anarchy. Sublime!
4:19 pm
MollyL

I have read about that show, but not watched it.
4:20 pm
Soodle

Oooh. Watch it my friend. I avoided it for months, because of the title. I don't 'do' anarchy, but it is a good series. Believe me.
4:22 pm
Soodle

Hey Java, whats the weather like in Wisconsin?
4:30 pm
Soodle

:-( Ah well. I'll come back tomorrow. Nite all
4:32 pm

No action here Soodle. Dead as a door nail.
5:39 pm
java2

Ah, went away just back. Weather in Wisconsin right now is just cold, but there's snow on the way. We're looking for 4-6 inches where I live, and less as you go further north and west. Milwaukee and south are looking for up to about 11 inches. Temps will be in teens and lower this coming week.
