1:47 am
Lizlin
HI and hugs Rose - though again, only here for a few more minutes.
1:47 am

1:47 am

I mean that one single time that the fly would come in handy... no dice.
1:47 am
grannyrose
dr's appt. liver functions still deranged, but much improved.
1:48 am
Lizlin
Any improvement is very good and makes me smile.
1:48 am
sprite
oh that is really good news, rose. That poor liver of yours has got such a tough blow. No wonder it takes time to get back to full health. But great that it is going that way.
1:49 am
grannyrose
how was your night, sprite?
1:49 am
sprite
good. No bad dreams, enough hours, I feel more rested.
1:50 am
grannyrose
wonderful, sprite.
1:50 am
Lizlin
That also makes me smile
1:50 am
sprite
:) Always happy when that happens. And the sun is out here, looks like it is gonna be a beautiful day.
1:50 am
sprite
*enjoys Liz's pretty smile*
1:51 am
grannyrose
nice. listened to a few of Caya's songs. man!! that girl can sing.
1:51 am
sprite
beautiful, isn't it, rose? And what she sings stays with you, or at least it is that way for me.
1:52 am
grannyrose
oh, don't you just love liz's smile.
1:52 am
sprite
oh Liz, I will send you a link to Caya's soundcloud.
1:52 am
sprite
yes I do. It is a lovely smile in a sweet face.
1:53 am
Lizlin
OK - enough of that - time for me to go and get ready - I hate the fact that everything starts so early here - need to leave home at 6.20 and eat before then :(
1:53 am
Lizlin
Enjoy your day, Sprite. Enjoy your evening, Rose. Hugs to you both.
1:53 am
Lizlin
Oh, and thanks - yes I'd like that link.
1:53 am
grannyrose
awww, poor liz. try and enjoy your evening.xoxox
1:54 am
Lizlin
Thanks - I hope to. I'm just more used to evenings starting at about 8.00! Bye for now
1:55 am
sprite
not convenient, Liz. But I hope the talk is worth it. Have a grand evening.
1:57 am
sprite
we have kind of the same thing here on tuesdays. Caya has to leave for dancing at 6 pm and I for singing at 6.45 pm. And last week and this week, Rob had to leave at 5 pm! Eating dinner at 4.30 pm is weird.
2:01 am
grannyrose
sprite, couldn't you all have a light snack before you go out, then eat the prepared dinner when you come home?
2:02 am
sprite
we could, but I don't want caya to go dancing on an almost empty stomach. And when I come home from singing, I am usually too tired to eat, or too cook.
2:02 am
gapeach
I'm back.....had to make toast for the dogs and myself.
2:02 am
sprite
so I have decided I will cook on tuesdays, but I'll cook soup, and something extra that we will eat with bread. Or at least the others will eat bread.
2:03 am
sprite
ah ok, peach! For a second I was afraid we had teased you too much and you were hurt.
2:03 am
grannyrose
what does Tim do on tuesday nights? does he join you all at 4:30pm?
2:04 am
grannyrose
g'day peach
2:04 am
sprite
yes he does, or if he has to work, he will heat up a cup of soup and the extra when it suits him
2:05 am
gapeach
Hey there, Rose. Hope you are feeling better.
2:06 am
grannyrose
i am thanx peach. but the blood te5 are still not back to normal. much improved though.
2:07 am
gapeach
You are in my prayers, my dear.
2:07 am
sprite
at least some part of rose is moving in the direction of normal
2:07 am
sprite
*hides under desk*
2:07 am
grannyrose
:-) that's lovely peach. thanx so much
2:08 am
grannyrose
yeah, moving to under sprite's desk. * gotcha *
2:09 am
grannyrose

2:09 am
sprite
let's do the feather and roast the chicken.
2:09 am
grannyrose
you're on. yummy !!
2:10 am
sprite
*binds up chicken and fires up oven*
2:12 am
grannyrose
* peeling potatoes and pumpkin* do want fries with that?
2:13 am
sprite
I think so. Virtual fries don't have carbs, do they?
2:13 am
grannyrose
no, they're full of hot air... lolll
2:26 am
sprite
mo7 is weird
2:26 am
sprite
how can something be the superlative of a superlative?
2:26 am
grannyrose
i know.
2:28 am
sprite
dictionary says it is slang. Ok then.
2:28 am
sprite
quote from dictionary: she was the hostess with the mo7
2:30 am
grannyrose
you can't have morish. as in, the chocolate was morish meaning the taste invited you to eat more.
2:30 am
sprite
would work for me. Especially with chocolate.
2:31 am
grannyrose
and yet, everyone uses it.
2:31 am
sprite
enable needs a nowadays words infusion

2:37 am
sprite
I have to move on, darling. I want to finish the plain text of my translation today. After that, all that is left are the dance notations. Hard to translate those, but I think I know how to do it.
2:37 am

Was looking for a good quote on regrets and have one to share for crossy's quote of the day!! (sorry about the length)
5:03 am
crosshair
“I said
”I love you so much it’s killing me”
and you kept saying sorry
so I stopped explaining
for it never made sense to you
what always did to me
to let what you love
kill you
and never regret.
As Romeo is dying Juliet says
”I am willing to die to remain by your side”
and love was never a static place of rest
but the last second of euphoria
while throwing yourself out from a 20 store window
to be able to say
”I flew before I hit the ground”,
and it was glorious.
Don’t be sorry.
The fall was beautiful, dear.
The crash was beautiful.”
― Charlotte Eriksson

I have been to only one game at the Skydome. The thing that hit me the most was how it appeared smaller than it did on T.V. When they fouled up the ball went right up into the rafters of the closed dome. I was right up front between 3rd base and home:)
5:33 am
doseffing
... no need to do that ...
5:33 am
sukee
Yes, we chose to sit behind 3rd base in the outfield so we could get a good look at Joe. He wasn't playing that day...
5:33 am

No need, I mean people have been rotting for the Cubs for like 100 years or something:))

I loved House of Cards at the beginning but lost interest.
5:44 am

5:45 am

I will never get through everything i want to see on Netflix:)) best $7.99/ month I spend
5:46 am

I don't use my account enough.
5:47 am
crosshair
I tossed the cable, so this is it for watching show for me. Love the extra 100 dollars a month
5:47 am
sukee
But really, I could get by with it and being able to watch the BBC. But I would miss baseball, don't want to pay $25 to mlb.com.
5:47 am
crosshair
it paid for my 51 inch HDTV:)
5:47 am
crosshair
it is not for those who love sports or news
5:48 am
periwinkle
good morning all. we want to get rid of cable. what do you suggest we get instead?
5:48 am
crosshair
I love my Netflix, peri. I save 1200 a year by not having our old cable package
5:48 am
periwinkle
oh, my bro in law likes to watch those finance shows
5:48 am
periwinkle
we have netflix
5:48 am
sukee
You can also get Hula which we can't get in Canada.
5:49 am
crosshair
But, as i say, If you are a noewshound, or love sports, it may not be for you
5:49 am
crosshair
We are not allowed Hulu in Canada:(
5:49 am
periwinkle
hmm, what about roku?
5:49 am
periwinkle
we have hulu here just not at the house
5:49 am
sukee
I even tried to sign up using a VPN but they won't accept a paypal address registered in Canada.
5:50 am
sukee
I can see US netflix doing that eventually.
5:50 am
crosshair
Mt HDTV is a "smart" TV, so I do not need a roku box
5:50 am
crosshair
Though I hear good things about them
5:51 am
sukee
I seem to be stuck in the grid, haven't gotten a word in a few minutes :)
5:51 am
crosshair
So, I would start there, peri.
5:52 am
Scrabbler
I am thinking of getting a smart TV. I am still using the TV I bought in 1992.
5:52 am
crosshair
and , of course get unlimited data plan on your internet
5:52 am
crosshair
The smart tv is so worth it, scrabby
5:52 am
crosshair
no wires is a godsend
5:52 am
periwinkle
so you do not need cable with a smart TV?
5:52 am
sukee
That is on my want list.
5:52 am
Scrabbler
Soon, Crossy. Which brand do you recommend?
5:53 am
crosshair
and it is basically a computer inside your TV. I can surf the net and play babble on the 51 inch screen if I choose:)
5:53 am
crosshair
My Samsung has given no problems whatsoever
5:54 am
crosshair
This one cost me $700 inc tax
5:54 am
sukee
Not bad, cheaper than an iPad.
5:54 am
crosshair
But I paid for it with money saved from having no calbe, so it was not an issue
5:54 am
mattygroves
Can anyone tell me anything about the oe7?
5:55 am
periwinkle
wait, so with a smart TV you do not need roku or cable? but you need Netflix, right
5:55 am
Scrabbler
I am thinking of cancelling cable too.
5:55 am
crosshair
Yes, you need netflix
5:55 am
crosshair
I should have done it years ago, scrabby
5:55 am
crosshair
or Hulu if in States
5:56 am
Scrabbler
I actually do not watch much TV anyway.
5:56 am
sukee
Rogers and Bell now have their own streaming services, but I'm not really interested.
5:56 am
crosshair
You do not realize how badly the cable companies hold you prisoner util you have the freedom to watch what you want, when you want.
5:57 am
periwinkle
I am confused. Netflix or Hulu then with a smart tv
5:57 am
crosshair
Would be perfect for you then, scrabby

Hi Car!

can we still watch those finance show with hulu?
5:57 am
Scrabbler
I pay $140/month for basiccable and internet.
5:57 am
crosshair
or the tv you have now, with a Roku box that will stream netflix or hulu to your tv
5:57 am
Scrabbler
Hi Car. How is your sciatica today?
5:58 am

I pay $207 for TV, internet, phone and Next Issue. That is with basic cable.

5:58 am
MollyL
oe7 ends like what you did if you squirted the turkey with some of it's juices
5:58 am
crosshair
Be warned though; If you stream netflix or hulu, you will need to add unlimited data to your internet pack
5:58 am

Epidural injection of steroid and long-acting pain med--that will help.

stats for the 8 pls
6:07 am
crosshair
When balancing the phone/cable/ internet bundle, I considered many things. That the internet had to stay was a given and that was running about $55 dollars for 80 data cap, the cable was 100, and the land-line 35, so, since the net is staying it only made sense to bump it to unlimited data which brought it to $88/month. Now we recoup 100 on the cable, and 35 on the phone, since I Skype everyone now. In the end the savings work for me. As far as non computer calling , I picked up a 50 dollar pay-as-you go phone, put a 100 dollar card on it and it lasts an average of 7 months versus the 300 or so i would have spent on the land-lime for the same time period. I love tweaking the entertainment budget;)

Poles are difficult. Had one on a party bus once. Definitely did not have the muscles required to do anything but fall. Then again, the Nalgene full of Sweet Tea Vodka and Lemonade (powder) might have also had something to do with that...

12:56 pm

about the small lesion in her liver, going to have a biopsy done and then chemo
12:58 pm
MollyL
Yes, her comment was...The lesion is very mall and the doctor was hopeful that it could be well-treated. I found that positive news.
12:58 pm
bichon
Yes, and I still think she'd be better of here. After all they told her it was something benign all these months
12:58 pm
periwinkle
yes that was the comment.
12:59 pm
MollyL
I agree Bich. It would scare me silly to be in a European country dealing with medical issues.
12:59 pm
periwinkle
where does her son live?
12:59 pm
periwinkle
I agree too
12:59 pm
bichon
I don't think the issue is her son, I think it's some legal reason
1:00 pm
bichon
She lso has her husband to think of
1:00 pm
periwinkle
I just wondered if she could stay with her son if she decided to return to the states and yes there is her husband.
1:01 pm
bichon
It would be a bear to get him to the US, given his condition and there would be no one to care of him in France
1:02 pm
MollyL
She owes back taxes to the US. She has said that she cannot return here.
1:02 pm
bichon
And if something happened to her, there's really no one to care for him
1:02 pm
periwinkle
ah, I do remember her saying that
1:02 pm
bichon
Well, that wouldn't stop me if I had a life threatening disease
1:03 pm
periwinkle
is that why she left in the first place?
1:03 pm
MollyL
That is why I find it frightening to move way off to another country, away from family, to spend your elder years.
1:05 pm
MollyL
No Peri, I don't think so. I think the move to France was just to go live somewhere pretty. But Ruby didn't know anything about the tax issue, so she is pretty hosed where that is concerned.
1:05 pm
bichon
I know a lot of people who retired to places like Mexico, the Caribbean, etc and then go sick. Same for Canadians
1:05 pm
bichon
Yes, he made her put everything in her name
1:06 pm
periwinkle
he, her current husband?
1:06 pm
MollyL
It's kind of a no brainer to assume that you will have health issues in your elder years.
1:06 pm
mael
I didn't know about Ruby, that is awful. On the other hand, healthcare in Europe (and especially France) is really very good
1:06 pm
periwinkle
well that stinks, re the tax issues
1:07 pm
bichon
Yes, but people never think about it until it happen. Even my parents who move to FL really struck out with the doctors there
1:07 pm
periwinkle
I don't mind some health issues as long as they are minor and not life threatening.
1:07 pm
MollyL
That depends on where you live Mixi. There are major health care issues in Europe.
1:07 pm

Yes the health care in France is great, but they don't/can't get it

when i lived in France back in 1970, I worked for the Berlitz School and had a French work visa -- when I had to have emergency hernia surgery, I was in hospital for a week -- the entire procedure and hospital stay cost me $1.80 (for the thermometer)
