8:08 am

((ruby))
8:08 am
rubyfoo

Burt is home and I'm making him stay upstairs, schlepping his food up etc. because I can't help him with steps or walking.
8:09 am
Scrabbler

Good day to all.
8:09 am
rubyfoo

He did very well with the surgery etc., but has lots of pain now
8:09 am

morning, scrabbs

{{annie, crossy, welki and scrabs}}
8:09 am
Scrabbler

Ruby, I didn't know he had surgery. How are both of you doing? Well, you are cold and tired. ((Ruby))
8:10 am
Anniebrook

ruby, get someone in for a week or so to take care of Burt so you can take care of yourself
8:10 am
crosshair

No separate heaters for upstairs, Ruby?
8:10 am
rubyfoo

he had a double inguinal hernia and needed general anesthesia, risky at his age.
8:10 am
Scrabbler

Annie, I spent a few hours with Isla's family yesterday and she is so damn cute. She is doing ok in kindergarten and will remain in the same integrated classroom next year.
8:11 am
rubyfoo

The bathrooms have radiators but the bedroom is basically unheated It's healthy for sleeping....
8:11 am
Scrabbler

He will improve slowly. Keep him moving.
8:12 am
rubyfoo

The housekeeper comes in the mornings to walk the dogs and make a fire and the visiting nurse will come every other day.
8:12 am
Anniebrook

scrabbs, I hope Isla does well in first grade. Many years ago they wanted to mainstream Bobby in first grade. He would have been one of the first in NYC. It was a trial run. I didnt want to put that kind of pressure on him so I did not allow it. Instead he went into early education and did pretty good.
8:12 am
crosshair

I also enjoy a cooler bedroom.
8:13 am
Anniebrook

ruby, right now you need someone 24 hours for a least a week. I had someone (wonderful woman) stay with us for 3 weeks when I came home from the hospital. It will save your strength.
8:13 am
Scrabbler

8:31 am

We actually do not say "Eh" as much as the rest of the world thinks we do. it does, however have at least three separate meanings depending on the conversation. It is used in "don't burn the bacon eh?' when seeking agreement or conformation on a topic. it is also used if we do not hear you, as in " Paul! take out the bloody garbage!! " Eh, dear??" it is also used for conformation on an observation as in "You are going to be in so much trouble when the wife sees those pics of you kissing that girl at Hooters posted on your FB page, eh?" lol

Our cats. have learned to "knock" at the bedroom door to be let out. The door itself does not close tight against the frame so there is a bit of a gap, and they have learned to tap on the door rhythmically with their front paws causing the door to bang annoyingly in the frame:(

I brought my Jeep up a few of the seasonal only side roads. A bit squishy and crumbly and some heavy drits in the shady areas still , but passable and quite fun.

My soft -top is a 2-person P.I.T.A job, so I prefer just removing the frontal "Freedom Top" panels. The kids can play with the soft top and take the doors off if they wish...If I ever let them touch it that is..;)

I had a friend up north years ago. he had a old Jeep cj, and the top had rotted years before, so he just threw a tarp over it at night and drive it all winter long wearing a snowmobile suit and ski goggles:)

In a car sales showroom, some years ago, I sat into a truly lovely little red 2-seater MG. I asked my ex how I looked.... And he just said .... 'You look like Noddy'! I have feared 2-seaters ever since!

On another note, my husband's great grandparents were among the first to go to Newfoundland and establish fishing villages. one was lost in a drowning incident . the present day Sealeys are still represented in Teignmouth and the two sets of relations still organise get-togethers.

Hi, Weiki. I have had a series of blood tests that revealed hyperparathyroidism. A long name for 4 small glands in your neck. It appears I have a tumour on one or more of them which causes calcium to be withdrawn from the bones. The kidneys can store this calcium as stones. I have the option of operate or not. Leaving alone can lead to osteosporosis and kidney problems in about 5 years. Before the great decision I have to have neck and bone density scans. With the state of the NHS i fully expect it to be 2016 before the decision has to be made.
