Lizlin
HI and hugs Rose - how are you?
3:25 am
grannyrose
not too bad. how are you feeling??
3:25 am
Lizlin
Had my best day today but am sore now - have guests staying and we went all around today - lots of walking.
3:26 am
Lizlin
Still dosing myself though :(
3:26 am
grannyrose
*sigh and rolls eyes* for goodness sake liz. will you please pull back a bit? your body obviously has not yet healed fully.
3:27 am
Lizlin
I know but it's difficult when you're showing people around.
3:27 am
grannyrose
we went and saw Neil Diamond live in concert last night.
3:27 am
Lizlin
They're actually very easy guests, which is great - the niece and partner of a good friend of mine.
3:27 am
Lizlin
Was he wonderful?
3:28 am
grannyrose
oh absolutely. he still has IT. his voice was a good as 40 years ago. and he is still composing and writing songs.
3:29 am
Lizlin
So happy for you. Must've been a great evening.
3:29 am
grannyrose
wow factor 15 out of 10...loll
3:29 am
Lizlin
Did he perform lots of his oldies?
3:29 am
grannyrose
i've only been waiting 43 years. now i can cross it off my bucket list.
3:30 am
Lizlin
But how great to be able to cross off something like that.
3:30 am
grannyrose
yes he did. he performed for 2 hours non-stop too.
3:30 am
Lizlin
Bet you were exhausted today!
3:30 am
grannyrose
even don enjoyed it and that's saying something.
3:31 am
Lizlin
Not my taste particularly but still very happy for you.
3:32 am
grannyrose
you must have a favourite performer you want to see.
3:32 am
Lizlin
I saw the Stones and the Who many years ago. Leonard Cohen too.
3:33 am
Lizlin
I'd've loved to have seen the Beatles
3:33 am
Lizlin
Queen too - missed them.
3:33 am
grannyrose
did you not see them at all?
3:33 am
Lizlin
I guess I'd like to see Adele or Lily Allen.
3:34 am
Lizlin
Not live - not Beatles or Queen.
3:34 am
Lizlin
I didn't go to that many concerts. I missed out on seeing Supertramp because of jet lag.
3:35 am
grannyrose
i hope your dream comes true, my dear. it's such a buzz.
3:35 am
Lizlin
Perhaps - but I tend to live for today rather than have dreams for the future!
3:36 am
Lizlin
Thats probably not entirely true though.
3:36 am
Lizlin
But I live such a dream life here - it's hard to think about what I'd really love to do.
3:37 am
Lizlin
Oooh! I passed half way without noticing.
3:39 am
grannyrose
well done liz
3:39 am
Lizlin
For some reason I'm just not finding this grid easy - too tired perhaps.
3:43 am
grannyrose
probably liz, that and the pain-killers on board.
3:44 am
Lizlin
Oh well - I'll plod on for a while then come back later or tomorrow.
3:44 am
Lizlin
What else have you been up to - I feel very out of contact with you and sprite because I've not really been around at the same times as you.
3:47 am
grannyrose
not a lot liz. trying to not aggravate the nerve.
3:47 am
grannyrose
and there goes the timer for dinner. xoxox liz and be kind to yourself.
3:47 am
Lizlin
Is the tens machine helping? What's the pain doc saying?
3:48 am
Lizlin
Bon appetite and hugs to you both.

5:11 am
grannyrose
and back. how are you doing?
5:12 am
sprite
I am ok. Bit tired. But today all I really have to do is a load of laundry and walk Terra. So I will rest a lot.
5:13 am
grannyrose
good for you. did you see liz has overdone it today? apparently she has been showing her visitors around and has walked too much.
5:14 am
sprite
aw poor Liz :(
5:16 am
sprite
oh and empty the dishwasher. Let's not forget that.
5:17 am
grannyrose
uh huh. boyo still not doing his chores?

yeah he is. He apologised and is doing better. For now. sigh.

I hope ruby's care package will arrive soon. Wish I could send you one :( But all and any food is forbidden, your way.
5:21 am

yeah that's a bummer. i would love some of your baking. *giggle*
5:24 am

Good morning, everybody :)

Howdy, ((rose))
5:29 am
sprite
is there really no way around it, rose? When I watch that program about the custom department of aus, I see that some food can be taken into the country. But through mail they seem to have a zero tolerance rule.
5:29 am
sprite
you can call me sprite, crossy, I don't stand on decorum among friends
5:30 am
Frances
Good morning. Rose may I please ask your advice on something that I know you are an expert on? I have an appointment on 09Nov with the hospital consultant regarding replacement surgery on my knee. Both need doing but they will only do one at a time. I suffer from white coat syndrome and to say that I am terrified is to put it mildly. Your help and advice would be very much appreciated. I do hope that you don’t mind me asking.
5:30 am
grannyrose
not that i know of sprite.
5:30 am
crosshair
"i did call you sprite at 05:27 :)
5:31 am
crosshair
oh I get it.. the sire... I am still on my first cuppa--go slow ;)
5:31 am
sprite
lol yes, crossy, and then you called me sire a few seconds later.
5:31 am
sprite
*hugs Frances*
5:31 am
grannyrose
no problems frances. would you like to email and tell me exactly what you need to know?
5:32 am
crosshair
Babble is a wealth of knowledge :)
5:32 am
Frances
Yes, thank you Rose.
5:32 am
sprite
ain't that the truth
5:32 am
Frances
Hugs back sprite.
5:33 am
crosshair
between everybody here, we have all the medical bases covered :)
5:33 am
sprite
all bases in general, even. Some babblers are politically knowledgeable, others medically, again others literary, and so on and so forth
5:34 am
sprite
*belatedly checks if 'forth' is in the grid... pfui it isn't*
5:34 am

and some of us are fortunate enough to have direct lines to those in know. ;-)

Hi Rose and Sprite.
5:40 am
Uneaixoise
hello, all :-)
5:40 am
grannyrose
btw i had the most incredible time last night. went to my first Neil Diamond live concert.
5:40 am
sprite
hiya Une! *hug* How's life for you?
5:40 am
sukee
Not too bad, going for the second day of a stress test so can't eat. Still have a bit of shingles pain.
5:40 am
godthaab
Name that Proper Noun - Czech poet
5:40 am
sukee
The worst thing is, I haven't been able to drink coffee for 2 days.
5:40 am
sprite
am so jealous, rose!
5:41 am
grannyrose
hey une!! xoxox
5:41 am
sprite
not fun, sukee. Glad that the shingles are abating, but not nice you still are in pain. What is the stress test for?
5:41 am
Uneaixoise
no coffee? aacckk! LOL
5:41 am
Uneaixoise
so sorry the shingles are lingering :-(
5:42 am
sukee
Still to do with my doctor checking my heart.
5:42 am
grannyrose
egad sukee. i wouldn't be able to move with no coffee
5:42 am
sprite
I hope your heart is as healthy as it is loving, sukee :)
5:43 am
sukee
I don't think I have a problem with it, I think it's more my doctor being over cautious.
5:43 am
Uneaixoise
ditto, sukee
5:44 am
grannyrose
how many coffees do you have in a day sukee? how many instant? how many fresh?
5:44 am
sprite
I think it is very good if a doctor is over cautious. Especially when it comes to the heart.
5:44 am
sukee
I usually have about 2 or 3 large coffees a day, fresh. I may have a cup of instant at night. I also drink a lot of tea.
5:45 am
grannyrose
hmmm, and your doctor hasn't said anything about the caffeine in tea??
5:45 am
sprite
I have no idea, godthaab. Kundera, seifert, capek... that is about all I know
5:45 am
sukee
I have to admit I was getting a twinge of pain where my shngles are that hasn't been hurting without coffee.
5:46 am
sukee
Yes Rose, I was told to have no caffeine at all, that also includes chocolate.
5:46 am
crosshair
Howdy, Sukee. Sorry, I drifted off there for a bit.
5:46 am
crosshair
How was the concert, rose? I love Neil Diamond:)
5:46 am
sprite
frustrating, sukee :(
5:46 am
sukee
Only side effect is a headache.
5:46 am
bichon
the caffeine habit is impossible to break and I only drink tea
5:47 am
grannyrose
NO CHOCOLATE!!!???!!!! STAND THAT DOC UP AGAINST THE WALL. *gets off soapbox*
5:47 am
crosshair
One thing I have learned over the decades is to NEVER get between a woman and her chocolate...
5:47 am
sprite
if quitting caffeine gives you a headache, you are either using too much or you are very sensitive to it. Sounds like moderation is called for in future, sukee
5:48 am
grannyrose
crossy, he was wonderful. he hasn't lost any of the power in his voice, and still had excellent control over his voice. he performed for 2 hours, non-stop.
5:48 am
sukee
Yeah, I probably do have to cut down on my coffee.
5:48 am
sprite
sad but true, sukee. *hug*
5:49 am
grannyrose
he sang lots of Hot August Night songs and a few from his new album. he is still writing songs and composing.
5:50 am
sprite
I think with a talent like his it is impossible to stop. Did he sing anything from the Jonathan Livingston Seagull album?
5:50 am
grannyrose
crossy, do you have his new album?? Melody Road. it is so good.
5:50 am
jzw
Sweet Caroline?? Makes me think of summer and the Red Sox
5:50 am
sukee
Sounds like a great concert.
5:51 am
crosshair
No I do not, however, I still have his original "Hot August Night" double lp in the closet ;) I played that thing to death :)
5:51 am
grannyrose
no he didn't, but most of that is instrumental. yes sweet caroline, red red wine, song sung blue. it was heaven. my throat was so sore from screaming and singing.
5:52 am
crosshair
Every time I hear Forever in Bluejeans, it makes me smile :)
5:52 am
grannyrose
so do i crosy... lolll. don is going to buy the cd of it. bless him.
5:52 am

oh my, song sung blue. Brings back memories
5:52 am

and my hands were burning from all the clapping.
5:53 am
grannyrose
i wanted to scream out, the tree people are here...lolll.
5:54 am
crosshair
Sounds like an amazing evening :)
5:54 am
grannyrose
don enjoyed himself too. he said he was only sorry that he couldn't remember the lyrics.
5:55 am
grannyrose
he knows all the music, just can't seem to hold onto the lyrics. but that's okay. i made up for it. *grin*
5:55 am
crosshair
My weakness is that i cannot hold onto names.
5:56 am
crosshair
I can be in a room of students for 7 weeks and out of 30 I may remember 3 names

I'll send again---of course, one re: bacon and the other a recipe that looks great for Christmas called "Creme Brulee Breakfast Bake" that you can assemble the night before and then just bake in the morning. I haven't tried it yet but thinking about making and taking to my son's for the holiday as a dessert instead of breakfast.
7:20 am
crosshair
anything bacon works for me :)
7:21 am

Sadly, it is a rare treat now. Bacon is so expensive these days that those porkers must trot along on golden hooves before they make the ultimate sacrifice...

Major milestone here--on Monday I went down the stairs outside leading from my apt. to the pkg. lot UNDER MY OWN STEAM!! First time I've done that in 6 months! My son was here to take me to the doctor so he was close just in case, but I went right down them with no problem at all. Going back up is another story but my son-in-law helps and I'm getting stronger. Had the surgical staples removed from my back Mon.---ouch.
7:23 am

Yaa for small victories!!
